1. A method of delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) in vivo, comprising administering to a subject in need of delivery a composition comprising an mRNA encoding a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, encapsulated within a liposome such that the administering of the composition results in the expression of the protein encoded by the mRNA in vivo;
wherein the liposome comprises a cationic lipid of formula I-c: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
p is an integer of between 1 and 9, inclusive;each instance of R2 is independently hydrogen or optionally substituted C1-6 alkyl;each instance of L is independently an optionally substituted alkylene, optionally substituted alkenylene, optionally substituted alkynylene, optionally substituted heteroalkylene, optionally substituted heteroalkenylene, optionally substituted heteroalkynylene, optionally substituted carbocyclylene, optionally substituted heterocyclylene, optionally substituted arylene, or optionally substituted heteroarylene, or combination thereof;each instance of R6 and R7 is independently a group of the formula (i), (ii), or (iii);Formulae (i), (ii), and (iii) are: wherein:
each instance of R′ is independently hydrogen or optionally substituted alkyl;X is O, S, or NRX, wherein RX is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted carbocyclyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, or a nitrogen protecting group;Y is O, S, or NRY, wherein RY is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted carbocyclyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, or a nitrogen protecting group;RP is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted carbocyclyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, an oxygen protecting group when attached to an oxygen atom, a sulfur protecting group when attached to a sulfur atom, or a nitrogen protecting group when attached to a nitrogen atom; andRL is optionally substituted C1-50 alkyl, optionally substituted C2-50 alkenyl, optionally substituted C2-50 alkynyl, optionally substituted heteroC1-50 alkyl, optionally substituted heteroC2-50 alkenyl, optionally substituted heteroC2-50 alkynyl, or a polymer. |
