Nucleic acid drug carriers are a class of technology platforms used to transport and deliver nucleic acid drugs, playing a crucial role in the field of nucleic acid therapy. As a high-tech company specializing in the development of nucleic acid drug delivery carriers, CD Formulation possesses strong R&D capabilities and extensive technical expertise. Our professional team is proficient in material chemistry, formulation technology, biological evaluation, and more, enabling us to offer comprehensive services for the development of nucleic acid carriers.
The primary objective of nucleic acid delivery vector development is to address the challenges of bioavailability and targeting of nucleic acid drugs in vivo. Naked nucleic acid molecules are easily degraded by enzymes in the organism and struggle to penetrate the cell membrane to access the target cell. Therefore, the development of efficient delivery carriers is crucial. Delivery carriers can encapsulate nucleic acid drugs, preventing their degradation by nucleases in the body and enhancing their stability. Additionally, carriers facilitate the transportation of nucleic acid drugs across bodily barriers to the disease site, thereby enhancing precision treatment. The use of carriers also helps prevent nonspecific binding to proteins in the body and aids in achieving lysosomal escape in the cell, ultimately improving the efficacy of nucleic acid drug therapy.

This process involves evaluating the properties of various natural and synthetic polymers and selecting suitable base materials such as liposomes, polymers, and inorganic nanoparticles.
Subsequently, the selected carrier material is designed with a rational structure and composition, including factors such as size, surface charge, and affinity groups.
Establishment of suitable carrier preparation processes, such as emulsification, self-assembly, centrifugation, etc., is essential to ensure the reproducibility and controllability of the preparation process.
Various characterization methods, such as dynamic light scattering, potentiometry, electron microscopy, etc., are used to comprehensively evaluate the physical and chemical properties of the carriers.
Based on the results of the preliminary evaluation, optimize and improve the formulation and preparation process of the carriers.
