Excipients for Nucleic Acid Delivery
Excipients are essential substances that optimize the transportation of nucleotide active ingredients to their intended targets. These excipients possess key characteristics such as biocompatibility, precise control over nucleic acid binding and release kinetics, minimal immune stimulation, and the ability to facilitate cytoplasmic delivery. They play vital roles in ensuring the safety and efficacy of nucleic acid-based therapeutics and vaccine formulations.
Key Excipients We Can Develop for Nucleic Acid Delivery
| Lipid-based Excipients |
- Liposomes, lipid nanoparticles, or lipid-based formulations can encapsulate nucleic acids.
|
| Polymer-based Excipients |
- Polylactic acid (PLA), poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), or polyethylene glycol (PEG) can form complexes or nanoparticles with nucleic acids.
|
| Cell-penetrating Peptides (CPPs) |
- CPPs are short peptides that can enhance the cellular uptake of nucleic acids by enabling their transport across cell membranes.
|
| Targeting Ligands |
- Ligands such as antibodies, peptides, or small molecules can be attached to nucleic acid carriers to enhance specific targeting of desired cell types or tissues.
|
| Cationic Polymers |
- Cationic polymers like polyethylenemine (PEI), chitosan, or polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers can electrostatically interact with negatively charged nucleic acids.
|
| pH-Sensitive Excipients |
- pH-sensitive materials can respond to the acidic environment of endosomes.
|
| Inorganic Nanoparticles |
- Nanoparticles made of materials such as gold, silica, or calcium phosphate can serve as carriers of nucleic acids.

Our Platforms for Excipient Development
- High Throughput Screening
An automated platform screens large libraries of synthetic and natural polymers/lipids. |
Techniques such as microfluidics produce reproducibly uniform particles with tailored properties like size, charge and targeting ligands. |
- Physicochemical Characterization
State-of-the-art tools analyze critical quality attributes like morphology, nucleic acid binding/release kinetics and stability. |
Applications of Our Nucleic Acid Delivery Excipient Customization Services
Our excipient customization services aid the delivery of nucleic acid therapies like antisense oligonucleotides, gene editing tools and siRNA. This supports disease treatment by developing formulations that efficiently encapsulate nucleic acid drugs and transport them into target cell nuclei. For example, optimized excipients deliver genes to hepatocyte nuclei for treating liver conditions through regulated gene expression.
- Nucleic Acid Vaccines Development
By tailoring excipients, we help advance nucleic acid vaccine candidates like DNA and mRNA vaccines. Customized formulations enhance immunogenicity through improved encapsulation and intracellular delivery of vaccine payloads to antigen-presenting cells. Excipients can be optimized to elicit strong protective immune responses efficiently, facilitating vaccine development for various diseases.
