Disclosed herein are novel lipids and liposomal compositions prepared using such compounds and related methods of neutralizing or otherwise modifying such liposomal compositions. The lipids described herein are useful for example, as liposomal vehicles to facilitate the delivery of encapsulated polynucleotides to target cells and the subsequent transfection of such target cells. In certain embodiments, one or more of the compounds that comprise the liposomal delivery vehicle may be neutralized or further modified such that the properties of the liposomal delivery vehicle are modified.

The present invention provides, among other things, methods of treating phenylketonuria (PKU), including administering to a subject in need of treatment a composition comprising an mRNA encoding phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) at an effective dose and an administration interval such that at least one symptom or feature of PKU is reduced in intensity, severity, or frequency or has delayed in onset. In some embodiments, the mRNA is encapsulated in a liposome comprising one or more cationic lipids, one or more non-cationic lipids, one or more cholesterol-based lipids and one or more PEG-modified lipids.

The present invention relates to immune stimulating micelle compositions, and their use in treatment of diseases and disorders, such as cancer. In particular, the present invention relates to micelle compositions comprising a TLR7 agonist, such as 1V270.

The present invention relates to a controlled release injectable ondansetron formulation comprising ondansetron or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, derivative or metabolite thereof which releases ondansetron over a period of at least 2 days period from the date of administration and the process for preparation thereof.

Disclosed herein are compositions that include nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), precursors thereof, derivatives thereof, or mixtures thereof encapsulated in a liposome, wherein the compositions exhibit enhanced chemical, physical, and/or microbial storage stability at a variety of storage temperatures. In certain embodiments, the compositions are stable and have positive permeability and senescence results. Also disclosed herein are methods for preparing such compositions and methods of using such compositions.

Disclosed are methods for delivering a therapeutic or diagnostic agent to the cytosol of a cell in a subject. The disclosed methods generally include administering to the subject an effective amount of a lipid nanoparticle comprising the therapeutic or diagnostic agent and an effective amount of a membrane-destabilizing polymer. Also disclosed are related compositions and delivery systems.

The disclosure relates to compositions and methods for the preparation, manufacture and therapeutic use of combinations of immunomodulatory polynucleotides (e.g., mRNAs) encoding an immune response primer polypeptide (e.g., an interleukin 23 (IL-23) polypeptide or an interleukin 36γ (IL-36-gamma) polypeptide), and an immune response co-stimulatory signal polypeptide (e.g., an OX40L polypeptide).

A composition of matter comprising a fusion protein attached to the outer surface of a substrate is disclosed. The fusion protein comprises a light-generating protein and a light-transducing protein. Uses of the composition of matter are disclosed.

Metastable liposomal formulations for hydrophobic drug delivery to a tissue or tissue lumen such the bladder have been developed. These are at least one micron in diameter and formed of one or more lipids having entrapped in the lipid a hydrophobic therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic agent. The greater stability of these liposomes, as well as the enhanced transfer of entrapped agent into the adjacent tissue, provides for better delivery, especially of hydrophobic agents such as tacrolimus which does not penetrate tissue well. The metastable liposomal formulations can be administered locally, preferably by instillation, or topically, for example, by spraying or painting, to a tissue or tissue lumen such as the bladder in need of treatment.

The disclosure describes a fusogenic liposome-coated porous silicon nanoparticles for high loading efficiency of anionic payloads (small molecules, dyes, nucleic acids), and for non-endocytic delivery of hydrophilic and lipophilic payloads by membrane fusion. The liposome coating can be further modified with targeting peptides or antibodies via covalent binding chemistry between the ligands and functionalized poly(ethylene glycol). The surface moieties can be transferred to the cellular membrane surface by fusogenic uptake. The composition of the disclosure can be applied in the treatment of diseases by delivering entrapped/encapsulated payloads.
