Lipid 5D8 is a novel biodegradable ionizable lipid (IL) developed through a combinatorial chemistry strategy to overcome the limitations of conventional lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) in mRNA delivery. Synthesized via a one-step, solvent-free Michael addition reaction between amine and thiol monomers, 5D8 features asymmetric lipid tails and a biodegradable ester backbone, ensuring both structural versatility and reduced toxicity. In preclinical studies, 5D8-based LNPs demonstrated exceptional liver-targeting efficiency and mRNA delivery performance. A single intravenous dose (1 mg/kg) achieved 61% CRISPR-Cas9-mediated editing of the TTR gene in mice, reducing serum TTR protein by 90%, outperforming benchmark lipids like C12-200 (51% editing). Moreover, 5D8 enabled efficient delivery of base editors (ABE8.8 and CBE4max), achieving 42% PCSK9 editing (74% serum protein reduction) and correcting hereditary tyrosinemia in mice, significantly extending survival. Beyond gene editing, 5D8 LNPs effectively delivered siRNA (complete serum TTR clearance at 0.05 mg/kg) and enhanced hepatocyte targeting by enriching apolipoprotein E on particle surfaces. Crucially, 5D8 exhibited superior biocompatibility with no hepatotoxicity (normal ALT/AST levels), contrasting traditional LNPs. Its rapid biodegradability and "plug-and-play" design make 5D8 a versatile platform for mRNA therapeutics, holding broad potential for treating genetic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and beyond. This innovation represents a critical advancement toward safer, high-efficiency clinical translation of gene-editing therapies.L
