The process of applying mRNA therapy to various diseases involves selecting the appropriate target, designing and modifying the mRNA sequence to enhance stability, and using a suitable delivery platform to ensure correct protein expression. CD Formulation is dedicated to researching and designing mRNA modification and delivery systems, thereby advancing mRNA technology-based biologics.
Nanoparticle-based mRNA delivery systems have the potential to increase genetic payload, protect cargo from ubiquitous RNA enzymes in the body, prolong blood circulation, enhance stability and safety, improve targeted delivery to specific cell populations, and have a relatively simple synthesis process. Nanoparticles for mRNA delivery include lipids, polymers, inorganic materials, and their hybrids. With the in-depth study of nanotechnology, in addition to the efficacy of antiviral infection, nanotechnology-based mRNA drugs have promising mRNA-based formulations in protein replacement, cancer immunotherapy, autoimmune disease treatment, cell reprogramming, and genome editing.

CD Formulation has developed mRNA delivery systems based on viral vectors and non-viral vectors to enhance cellular internalization of mRNA.
With the advancement of genetic engineering technology, lentivirus, adenovirus, and adeno-associated viruses have gradually become effective methods of mRNA drug delivery. Lentivirus integrates the target fragment into the host genome through reverse transcription. Currently, a three-plasmid system is commonly used to construct viral vectors, which completely separates the plasmid expressing the outer shell and the expression plasmid inserting the target fragment, thereby improving the safety of delivery.
We investigated ionizable lipid-based non-viral mRNA delivery agents including cationic or ionizable lipids and lipid-like materials, including liposome nanoparticles, polymer nanocarriers, inorganic nanocarriers, protein carriers, exosomes, etc. Our lipid nanoparticle delivery technology in non-viral vectors is the most widely studied and clinically mature mRNA delivery system.
Nucleic acid drugs constructed in vitro need to overcome many obstacles to function smoothly in vivo. There are many key factors that affect the efficiency of nucleic acid delivery, such as the stability of nucleic acid drugs in the body and the ability of nucleic acid drugs to cross barriers to reach the lesions. At the same time, how to promote lysosomal escape, improve protein adsorption of nucleic acid drugs, and improve the targeting of nucleic acid drug delivery are important for improving the delivery efficiency of nucleic acid drugs. According to the mechanism of action of nucleic acid drugs, we have set up a comprehensive solution, such as the selection of appropriate nucleic acid structure modification and drug delivery carriers, supplemented by advanced technologies such as ultrasound and laser pulses, which help to achieve good therapeutic effects.
With the support of our mRNA delivery technology and nanotechnology platform, CD Formulation has developed multiple nanoparticles for mRNA delivery systems, including but not limited to lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, etc.
