<p>We collaborated with <a onClick={() => goToPagesAndOpenTab('corden', '/human-practices')}>Corden Pharma</a>, a specialist in LNP technologies, to address these concerns. Based on their recommendations, we opted for <strong>mPEG-2000-DSPE</strong> as our PEG-lipid of choice. This variant minimizes cytotoxicity while providing excellent stability and circulation time. It has also proven effective in reducing immune-related side effects while preserving the integrity and performance of our nanoparticles. </p>
<H4 text="DMG-PEG2000 vs mPEG-2000-DSPE" id="text" />
While mPEG-2000-DSPE has traditionally been used for stabilizing LNPs and enhancing delivery efficiency, we decided to incorporate DMG-PEG2000 into our SORT LNP-based AirBuddy due to its superior properties. DMG-PEG2000 offers better biodegradability and enhanced stability in pulmonary applications. Unlike mPEG-2000-DSPE, which tends to accumulate in the body and may lead to immune activation over time, DMG-PEG2000 is known for its faster clearance and reduced potential for long-term toxicity. For lung-specific delivery, where stability and safety are critical, DMG-PEG2000 ensures that the nanoparticles remain stable long enough to deliver the therapeutic material effectively, but also degrade at a rate that minimizes unwanted immune responses. This makes DMG-PEG2000 a more suitable choice for therapies targeting CFTR-related diseases, where precise and safe delivery to the lungs is essential for treatment success.

<H4 text="Conclusion" id="text" />
We use DMG-PEG2000 in our SORT LNP-based AirBuddy because of its superior biodegradability, enhanced stability, and reduced risk of immune system activation. By building on insights from experts and incorporating principles from Wang’s LNP work, we’ve tailored our nanoparticles for lung-specific delivery. This choice ensures that our formulations remain stable long enough to deliver the therapeutic payload effectively while minimizing potential long-term toxicity. This balance is crucial for pulmonary applications, where DMG-PEG2000 outperforms alternatives like mPEG-2000-DSPE, making it the ideal choice for treating CFTR-related lung diseases.
