The disclosure provides ionizable amine lipids and salts thereof (e.g., pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) useful for the delivery of biologically active agents, for example delivering biologically active agents to cells to prepare engineered cells. The ionizable amine lipids disclosed herein are useful as ionizable lipids in the formulation of lipid nanoparticle-based compositions.

Binding of the transcriptional co-activator, YAP1, to the transcription factor Oct4, induces Sox2, which is a transcription actor necessary for the self-renewal of stem-like cells from non-small cell lung cancer. The WW domain of YAP1 binds to the PPxY motif of Oct4 to induce Sox2. Delivering a peptide corresponding to the WW domain could prevent the induction of Sox2 and stemness. Similarly, peptides and mimetics of the PPxY motif would be able to inhibit sternness. Disclosed are compounds that affect the Yap1:Oct4 interaction.

The compounds of Formula I is described herein along with their polymorphs, stereoisomers, tautomers, prodrugs, solvates, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds described herein, their polymorphs, stereoisomers, tautomers, prodrugs, solvates, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are bicyclic compounds that are inhibitors of PD-1/PD-L1 interaction/activation. ##STR00001##
