The present disclosure provides a compound of Formula (I):

##STR00001##

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein. The present disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula (I), processes for preparing compounds of Formula (I), and therapeutic methods for treating inflammatory disease.

Compounds as immune system modulators bearing a pteridine core are described. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, methods of making the same, and a method for treating or preventing autoimmunity disease using the same are described.

A method for solubilizing non-polar target compounds into a carrier liquid is described. A carrier oil, such as a MCT, or a mixture of MCTs, may be used to solubilize non-polar target compounds. The carrier oil may also include one or more buffers for stability of the target compounds within the carrier oil.

Compositions for delivering nucleic acids to cells or tissue microenvironments are provided. In one embodiment, the compositions are lipid nanoparticle compositions formulated to have reduced splenic and hepatic clearance. It has been discovered that the chemical composition of lipid nanoparticles significantly influences the natural trafficking of the lipid nanoparticles. More specifically, it has been discovered that conformationally constrained ionizable lipids can modify the tropism and clearance profile of lipid nanoparticles without the need of a targeting ligand. It has also been discovered that tropism of the disclosed lipid nanoparticles is size-independent.
