Abstract
Development of mRNA therapeutics necessitates targeted delivery technology, while the clinically advanced lipid nanoparticles face difficulty for extrahepatic delivery. Herein, we design highly branched poly(β-amino ester)s (HPAEs) for efficacious organ-selective mRNA delivery through tailoring their chemical compositions and topological structures. Using an "A2+B3+C2" Michael addition platform, a combinatorial library of 219 HPAEs with varied backbone structures, terminal groups, and branching degrees are synthesized. The branched topological structures of HPAEs provide enhanced serum resistance and significantly higher mRNA expression <i>in vivo</i>. The terminal amine structures of HPAEs determine the organ-selectivity of mRNA delivery following systemic administration: morpholine facilitates liver targeting, ethylenediamine favors spleen delivery, while methylpentane enables mRNA delivery to the liver, spleen, and lungs simultaneously. This study represents a comprehensive exploration of the structure-activity relationship governing both the efficiency and organ-selectivity of mRNA delivery by HPAEs, suggesting promising candidates for treating various organ-related diseases.
