Composition for covid-19 mrna vaccine in lipid nanoparticle
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918643B2) discloses a composition for treating or preventing a disorder, particularly related to SARS-CoV-2. The composition includes an mRNA encoding a pre-fusion stabilized spike protein of the virus, complexed with a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) containing specific components in defined molar ratios. The mRNA sequences contain various stabilizing mutations and amino acid substitutions, along with heterologous untranslated regions (UTR) and poly(A) sequences, ensuring efficient delivery and expression of the spike protein.
Furthermore, the patent covers compositions with specific G/C content, sequences derived from known genes for UTRs, histone stem-loops, and nucleotide analog substitutions like pseudouridine. The mRNA integrity is maintained through purification methods, and the LNPs have a defined size range and lipid to RNA molar ratio. The patent also includes provisions for a kit containing the composition and instructions for use, as well as a method for treating or preventing disorders by administering the disclosed composition to individuals in need. These claims highlight the detailed and specific nature of the composition, emphasizing its potential in therapeutic applications related to SARS-CoV-2 and other disorders.
