THOR 76​​ is an ionizable lipid developed for lung-targeted mRNA delivery, synthesized via a high-throughput Ugi four-component reaction (U4CR). It combines spermine (N3, amine core), oleyl aldehyde (A2), oleic acid (C2), and a morpholine-functionalized isonitrile (D3). Remarkably, its ​​crude reaction mixture​​ outperforms purified forms in efficacy, suggesting synergistic impurities or intermediates enhance function. Formulated into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) with cholesterol, DOPE, and PEG-lipid, THOR 76 LNPs exhibit ​​exceptional lung tropism​​ with secondary spleen affinity after intravenous administration. They efficiently transfect ​​pulmonary endothelial cells​​, enabling robust gene expression (e.g., Cre recombinase) and significant CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing (1.22% at 0.1 mg/kg dose) in the lungs. With a particle size <150 nm, positive zeta potential, and >90% mRNA encapsulation, THOR 76 achieves targeted delivery while minimizing off-target effects in the liver. Its design overcomes limitations of cationic helper lipids, offering a potent, tolerable platform for treating pulmonary genetic disorders and cancers.
