Safe and efficient delivery of blood-brain barrier (BBB)–impermeable cargos into the brain through intravenous injection remains a challenge. Here, we developed a previously unknown class of neurotransmitter–derived lipidoids (NT-lipidoids) as simple and effective carriers for enhanced brain delivery of several BBB-impermeable cargos. Doping the NT-lipidoids into BBB-impermeable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) gave the LNPs the ability to cross the BBB. Using this brain delivery platform, we successfully delivered amphotericin B (AmB), antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) against tau, and genome-editing fusion protein (−27)GFP-Cre recombinase into the mouse brain via systemic intravenous administration. We demonstrated that the NT-lipidoid formulation not only facilitates cargo crossing of the BBB, but also delivery of the cargo into neuronal cells for functional gene silencing or gene recombination. This class of brain delivery lipid formulations holds great potential in the treatment of central nervous system diseases or as a tool to study the brain function.

We report that Fe3O4@Au core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) serve as a multifunctional molecule delivery platform. This platform is also suitable for sensing the doxorubicin (DOX) through DNA hybridization, and the amount of carried DOX molecules was determined by size-dependent Fe3O4@Au NPs. The limits of detection (LODs) for DOX was found to be 1.839 nM. In our approach, an Au nano-shell coating was coupled with a specially designed DNA sequence using thiol bonding. By means of a high-frequency magnetic field (HFMF), a high release percentage of such a molecule could be efficiently achieved in a relatively short period of time. Furthermore, the thickness increase of the Au nano-shell affords Fe3O4@Au NPs with a larger surface area and a smaller temperature increment due to shielding effects from magnetic field. The change of magnetic property may enable the developed Fe3O4@Au-dsDNA/DOX NPs to be used as future nanocarrier material. More importantly, the core-shell NP structures were demonstrated to act as a controllable and efficient factor for molecule delivery.
