[0004] Nucleic acid molecules, such as siRNA and mRNA, are very promising drug molecules that need to enter cells to exert their effects. However, nucleic acid molecules themselves are large molecular weight, highly negatively charged, and easily degradable compounds that cannot enter cells by themselves. Therefore, a suitable delivery vector is needed to carry them into cells or tissues in the body.
[0005] Liposomes have been proven to be an effective nucleic acid carrier, and the siRNA drug Onpattro encapsulated by liposomes has been launched on the market. With the progress of research on nucleic acid drugs, especially siRNA drugs and mRNA drugs, there is a continuous demand for research on nucleic acid drug carriers, including research on liposomes targeting different cell types and tissue types, better protection of nucleic acids from enzyme degradation, or better release of liposomes in cells, and liposomes with lower toxicity and easy biodegradation.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a liposome with high stability, low toxicity and easy biodegradability. Summary of the invention

[0077] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0078] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0079] Certain embodiments of the present invention are now described in detail, examples of which are illustrated by the accompanying structural formula and chemical formula. The present invention is intended to cover all substitutions, modifications and equivalent technical solutions, which are all included in the scope of the present invention as defined in the claims. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described in the present invention can be used to practice the present invention. The present invention is by no means limited to the methods and materials described in the present invention. In the event that one or more of the combined documents, patents and similar materials are different from or contradictory to the present application (including but not limited to defined terms, term applications, described technologies, etc.), the present application shall prevail.
[0080] It should be further appreciated that certain features of the invention, which for clarity are described in multiple separate embodiments, may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the invention, which for brevity are described in a single embodiment, may also be provided separately or in any suitable sub-combination.
[0081] Unless otherwise noted, technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. Unless otherwise noted, all patent publications cited in the entire disclosure of the present invention are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0082] The following definitions shall apply to the present invention unless otherwise indicated. For the purposes of the present invention, chemical elements are defined according to the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version and Handbook of Chemicals, 75, th Ed, 1994. In addition, general principles of organic chemistry are described in "Organic Chemistry", Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausalito: 1999, and "March's Advanced Organic Chemistry", by Michael B. Smith and Jerry March, John Wiley & Sons, New York: 2007, and all references are incorporated herein by reference.
[0083] In this article, "liposome" or "lipid nanoparticle (LNP)" refers to a drug delivery system that uses a biocompatible lipid material as a carrier to dissolve or encapsulate drugs or other biologically active substances in the lipid core or adsorb or attach them to the surface of the nanoparticle.
[0084] The present invention also includes isotopically labeled compounds of the present invention which are identical to those described herein except for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Exemplary isotopes that may also be incorporated into the compounds of the present invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, such as 2 H. 3 H. 13 C. 14 C. 15 N. 16 O. 17 O. 31 P. 32 P. 36 S. 18 F and 37 Cl.
[0085] Compounds of the invention containing the aforementioned isotopes and / or other isotopes of other atoms and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds are included within the scope of the invention. Isotopically labeled compounds of the invention, for example radioactive isotopes, such as 3 H and 14 C is incorporated into the compounds of the present invention for drug and / or substrate tissue distribution analysis. Due to the ease of preparation and detection, tritiated, i.e. 3 H, and carbon-14, i.e. 14 C, isotopes are particularly preferred. In addition, heavy isotopes, such as deuterium, 2H substitution may offer certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, such as increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and therefore may be preferred in some circumstances.
[0086] The stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein are generally in accordance with SP Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., "Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds", John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994. The compounds of the present invention may contain asymmetric centers or chiral centers and therefore exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is contemplated that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the present invention, including but not limited to diastereomers, enantiomers and atropisomers and mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, are also included within the scope of the present invention. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane polarized light. When describing optically active compounds, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to indicate the absolute configuration of the molecule with respect to the chiral center (or multiple chiral centers) in the molecule. The prefixes d and l or (+) and (-) are the signs used to designate the rotation of plane polarized light caused by a compound, where (-) or l indicates that the compound is levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. With respect to a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of each other. Specific stereoisomers may also be referred to as enantiomers, and a mixture of such isomers is often referred to as a mixture of enantiomers. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is called a racemic mixture or racemate, which may occur when there is no stereoselectivity or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process.
[0087] Depending on the choice of starting materials and processes, the compounds of the invention may exist in the form of one of the possible isomers or a mixture thereof, for example as pure optical isomers, or as isomer mixtures, such as racemic and diastereomeric mixtures, depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms. Optically active (R)- or (S)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral agents, or resolved using conventional techniques. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituents may be in the E or Z configuration; if the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl group, the cycloalkyl substituents may be in the cis- or trans- configuration.
[0088] The compounds of the present invention may contain asymmetric centers or chiral centers and therefore exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is contemplated that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the present invention, including but not limited to diastereomers, enantiomers and atropisomers and geometric (or conformational) isomers and mixtures thereof, such as racemic mixtures, are within the scope of the present invention.
[0089] Unless otherwise indicated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all isomeric (e.g., enantiomers, diastereomeric atropisomers, and geometric (or conformational)) forms of such structures; for example, R and S configurations at various asymmetric centers, (Z) and (E) double bond isomers, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric mixtures, diastereomeric mixtures, and geometric isomer (or conformational) mixtures of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention.
[0090] The term "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" refers to structural isomers with different energies that can be mutually converted through a low energy barrier. If tautomerism is possible (such as in solution), a chemical equilibrium of tautomers can be reached. For example, proton tautomers (protontautomers) (also known as prototropic tautomers) include mutual conversions by proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers include mutual conversions by the reorganization of some bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerism is the interconversion of pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-ene-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerism is phenol-keto tautomerism. A specific example of phenol-keto tautomerism is the interconversion of pyridine-4-ol and pyridine-4 (1H)-one tautomers. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention.
[0091] As used herein, "nitrogen oxide" means that when a compound contains several amine functional groups, one or more nitrogen atoms can be oxidized to form an N-oxide. Special examples of N-oxides are N-oxides of tertiary amines or N-oxides of nitrogen atoms of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic rings. The corresponding amines can be treated with oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or peracids (e.g., peroxycarboxylic acids) to form N-oxides (see Advanced Organic Chemistry, Wiley Interscience, 4th edition, Jerry March, pages).

Such reactions are usually carried out in water or an organic solvent or a mixture of the two. Generally, in appropriate cases, it is necessary to use a non-aqueous medium such as ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol or acetonitrile. For example, "Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences", 20th edition, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., (1985); and "Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use", Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, 2002) can be found in some other suitable salt lists.
[0134] Moreover, the compounds of the present invention, including their salts, may also be obtained in the form of their hydrates, or include other solvents for their crystallization. The compounds of the present invention may inherently or by design form solvates with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents (including water); therefore, the present invention is intended to include solvated and unsolvated forms.
[0135] Any structural formula given herein is also intended to represent unlabeled forms of these compounds as well as isotopically labeled forms. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the general formula given herein, except that one or more atoms are replaced by atoms having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Exemplary isotopes that can be introduced into the compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, such as 2 H. 3 H. 11 C. 13 C. 14 C. 15 N. 18 F. 31 P. 32 P. 36 S. 37 Cl or 125 I.

This type of isotope-labeled compound can be used for metabolic studies (using 14 C), reaction kinetics studies (using e.g. 2 H or 3 H), detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution determination, or may be used in radiation therapy of the patient. 18 F-labeled compounds are particularly ideal for PET or SPECT studies. Isotope-labeled compounds of formula (I) can be prepared by conventional techniques familiar to those skilled in the art or as described in the examples and preparations herein by replacing the unlabeled reagent originally used with an appropriate isotope-labeled reagent.
[0137] In addition, heavier isotopes, especially deuterium (i.e. 2 H or D) can provide certain therapeutic advantages, which are brought about by higher metabolic stability. For example, increased half-life in vivo or reduced dosage requirements or improved therapeutic index. It should be understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent of the compound of formula (I). The concentration of such heavier isotopes, especially deuterium, can be defined by isotopic enrichment factors. The term "isotopic enrichment factor" used in the present invention refers to the ratio between the isotopic abundance and the natural abundance of a specified isotope.

The specific calculation method is referenced to the literature, Boulmedais F., Frisch B., Etienne O., Lavalle Ph., Picart C., Ogier J., Voegel JC., Schaaf P., Eggles C. Polyelectrolyte multilayer films with pegylatedpolypeptides as a new type of anti-microbial protection for biomaterials, Biomaterials, 2004, 25, 2003-2011.
[0195] 2. Gel retardation experiment, used to prove the loading of nucleic acid in the preparation
[0196] Anti-apolipoprotein B siRNA (siApoB) was dissolved in DEPC-treated water and freshly assembled with LNPs of different mass ratios (w / w). Thereafter, it was mixed with 6× loading buffer (Baoriyi Biotechnology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.), and the preparation containing equal amounts of siRNA was added to a 1% (w / w) agarose gel containing 0.01% gel stain (w / w) (Beijing Quanshijin Biological). Electrophoresis was performed at 90v for 30min in 1×TAE electrophoresis buffer. The results were recorded at a UV wavelength of 320nm using a gel imaging system (Shanghai Tianneng Technology Co., Ltd.). The siApoB sequence is shown in Table 1:
[0197] Table 1:
[0198]
[0199] 3. Determination of particle size and surface potential to preliminarily determine whether the lipid formula is usable
[0200] The preparation obtained after LNP encapsulation of siRNA was first diluted 10 times before measuring the particle size and surface potential. The instrument used for particle size and surface potential measurement was Zetasizer 3000HS laser particle size analyzer from Malven Company, USA, with a measurement temperature of 25°C, an angle of 90°, and an incident light wavelength of 677nm.
[0201] 4. Determination of siRNA concentration in the preparation
[0202] The RiboGreen method was used to determine the concentration of siRNA. The test preparation was diluted 20 times and 100 μl was added to a 96-well plate to detect the fluorescence of siRNA outside the preparation. Another 15 μl of the diluted test preparation was used to destroy the lipid structure with 50 μl of a 2% Triton-X-100 (w / w) mixture to completely release the internal siRNA, and then 35 μl of 1×TE buffer was added to the well to make up the volume, which was used to detect the fluorescence of all siRNA in the preparation. In addition, a standard curve was prepared using siRNA standards, 1×TE, and 2% Triton-X-100 to calculate the concentration of siRNA in the test samples. After all the samples to be tested were added, incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, 100 μl / well of RiboGreen working solution was added in a dark place and fluorescence detection was immediately performed using an enzyme reader. The detection conditions are shown in Table 2:

[0205] 5. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiment, used to detect the particle morphology of the preparation
[0206] The transmission electron microscope used was a Dutch JEM-100CX II transmission electron microscope. First, the copper mesh was immersed in the sample solution to be tested, and then stained with a 0.1 wt% phosphotungstic acid solution. After about 3 minutes, the excess liquid was filtered off with filter paper and dried at room temperature. Then the morphology of the particles in the system was observed and photographed with a transmission electron microscope.
[0207] 6. In vitro transfection experiment
[0208] To test the siRNA delivery efficiency of candidate preparations, human liver cancer cell line HepG2 was seeded in 12-well plates with DMEM complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at a seeding density of 1×10 5 cells / well, 1 mL of culture medium per well, cultured overnight at 37°C.
[0209] On the second day, the cell culture medium in the 12-well plate was aspirated and discarded, and 1 mL of fresh DMEM complete medium containing 10% (v / v) fetal bovine serum was added to each well to be transfected. The Mock group was not further treated, and the corresponding preparation was added to the sample wells to be tested. The sample volume was calculated based on the siRNA concentration in the LNP previously determined by the RiboGreen method, so that the final concentration of siApoB was 50 nM. The cells were cultured at 37°C for 4 hours, and 1 mL of DMEM complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum was added to each well, and cultured at 37°C overnight.
[0210] Afterwards, the relative expression of ApoB mRNA in the sample to be tested was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (Quantitative Real-Time PCR). The specific steps are as follows: after culturing the transfected cells for 24 hours, use RNA isolator (Nanjing Novogene Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number R401-01-AA), chloroform, and isopropanol to extract the total RNA in the cells; take 1 μg of total RNA and reverse transcribe it according to the method of reverse transcription kit (Beijing Quanshijin Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number AT311-03) to obtain cDNA. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR mix (Shanghai Yishen Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number 11201ES08) was used to detect the expression of the target gene ApoB and the internal reference gene glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) using cDNA as a template according to the steps in the instruction manual, where the expression of ApoB needs to refer to GAPDH. The PCR primers used to amplify ApoB and GAPDH as an internal reference gene are shown in Table 3.

[0213] 7. Cytotoxicity assay
[0214] The cytotoxicity of the test substance was detected by MTT method (tetrazolium salt colorimetric method), and the specific method is as follows:
[0215] (1) 1.25×10 4 HepG2 cells / well, 100 μl of culture medium per well, incubated overnight at 37°C in the presence of 5% CO2.
[0216] (2) After 24 hours, a corresponding amount of siFLA4-13 encapsulating insect-resistant luciferase siRNA (siFirefly) was added to each well, so that the siRNA content in the well ranged from 1 nM to 200 nM. At the same time, control wells (cells, PBS with a pH value of 7.4 and the same volume of liquid as the preparation, and culture medium) were set up and incubated at 5% CO2 and 37°C for 48 hours.
[0217] (3) Add 20 μl of MTT solution (5 mg / mL) to each well and continue incubation at 5% CO2 and 37°C for 4 hours.
[0218] (4) Carefully discard the supernatant culture medium in each well, add 150 μl of dimethyl sulfoxide to each well, and shake on a low-speed shaker for 10 minutes to fully dissolve the crystals. Measure the absorbance of each well at 540 nm using a continuous spectrum multifunctional microplate reader (TECAN Infinite 200).
[0219] (5) Calculate the relative cell viability of each sample well according to the following formula:

[0225] 8. Subcellular localization, used to determine whether nucleic acids have entered cells
[0226] On the day before the test, 2 × 10 5 HepG2 cells will be seeded in 35mm culture dishes and cultured overnight at 5% CO2 and 37℃. The next day, Cy-siFLA4-13 or Cy-siFLLipo was prepared by encapsulating Cy5 group at the 3' end of siFirefly sense chain with A4-13 or Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen), and added to the corresponding culture dishes and cultured for 4 hours to allow cells to endocytose the transfection reagent. After the specified time, all the culture medium containing the transfection reagent was discarded and the cells on the culture dishes were washed three times with 1×PBS. After that, 1mL of staining working solution (Lysotracker diluted 1:3000 (v / v) with 1×PBS, and Hoechst 33342 0.1mg / ml) was added to the culture dishes and stained for 15 minutes at 37℃ in the dark. After staining, a laser confocal microscope (LSM 700, Zeiss) was used to observe the distribution of fluorescent signals in cells.
[0227] 9. Cellular uptake, used to determine the efficiency of nucleic acid entering cells
[0228] HepG2 cells were seeded in 12-well plates at a concentration of 2 × 10 5 cells / mL, volume 1mL / well. After 24 hours, Cy-siFLA4-13 was added to the wells to a final concentration of 50nM, and cultured for 4 hours at 5% CO2 and 37°C. Thereafter, all the culture medium containing the transfection reagent was discarded, the cells were digested with trypsin and complete culture medium to terminate the digestion, and the liquid was collected into a centrifuge tube. After centrifugation at 800 rpm for 5 minutes, the cells were resuspended with 1×PBS and the cells were rinsed three times. Thereafter, the endocytosis efficiency of HepG2 cells to the preparation was detected by flow cytometry (FACSverse, BD). The data were analyzed using FlowJo7.6.
[0229] 10. In vivo distribution experiment, used to determine the metabolism and distribution characteristics of drugs in the body
[0230] The experiment used 6-8 week old C57BL / 6 mice as experimental subjects, which were divided into two groups and given 1×PBS or Cy-siFLA4-13 through the tail vein, where the amount of Cy5-siFirefly was 2mg / kg. The distribution of Cy5 signals in mice will be detected by the small animal in vivo imaging system FX Pro (Kodak) at different time points after administration. In addition, after the completion of in vivo imaging at 0.5 hours, 4 hours and 24 hours after administration, 1-2 animals in each group will be euthanized and the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, stomach, intestine, submandibular gland and thymus will be separated for organ imaging. The results were analyzed using Carestream software, and the line graph was generated by GraphpadPrism 8.
[0231] In another experiment, 6-8 week old C57BL / 6 mice were given 1×PBS or mLuA4-13 formulations through the tail vein, with the amount of mRNA being 20 μg / animal. At 6 and 9 hours after administration, the animals were euthanized and the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, stomach, intestine, submandibular gland, and thymus were isolated for organ imaging. The results were analyzed using livingimage software.
[0232] In another experiment, 6-8 week old C57BL / 6 mice were administered 1×PBS, mLuA4-13, or mLuDA4-1 to mLuDA4-9 formulations by intrapulmonary spray, with the amount of mRNA being 4 μg / animal. The animals were euthanized 6 hours after administration, and the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were isolated for organ imaging. The results were analyzed using livingimage software.
[0233] 11. Dose dependence experiment
[0234] Thirty-two 6-8 week old C57BL / 6 mice were divided into 8 groups and received 1×PBS or 0.01mg / kg to 1mg / kg siA4-13. After 42 hours, the animals were fasted for 6 hours and euthanized. Serum and liver tissue samples were collected for analysis of serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (CHO), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and ApoB mRNA expression changes in liver tissue. The PCR primers used to amplify mouse ApoB and GAPDH as an internal reference gene are shown in Table 5.

[0236]
[0237] 12. Duration of action experiment
[0238] 96 6-8 week old C57BL / 6 mice were divided into three groups and received 1×PBS or 1mg / kg or 3mg / kg siA4-13, respectively. On days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49 after administration, 4 animals in each group were fasted for 6 hours and euthanized, and serum and liver tissue samples were collected for analysis of changes in serum TG, CHO, LDL-c, HDL-c, and ApoB mRNA expression in liver tissue. The duration of action curve was generated by Graphpad Prism 8.
[0239] 13. Drug efficacy test
[0240] The experiment was divided into two parts. In the first part, leptin receptor knockout db / db mice (C57BLKS / JGpt-Leprem2Cd / Gpt) were used as experimental subjects, and non-gene knockout mice (m / m) of the same genetic background were used as controls. This part of the experiment was designed to detect the lipid-lowering effect of the preparation siANA4-13 encapsulated with anti-angiopoietin-like protein 3 siRNA (siANGPTL3) and the expression changes of target genes. In the second part, humanized apolipoprotein C3 (ApoC3) transgenic mice (hApoC3, Tg(APOC3)3707Bres) were used as experimental subjects, and C57BL / 6 mice were used as controls. This part of the experiment was designed to detect the lipid-lowering effect of the preparation siApoCA4-13 encapsulated with siApoC3 (siApoC3 is siRNA targeting ApoC3 mRNA) and the lipid recovery of animals after drug withdrawal.
[0241] In the first part, db / db mice will be injected with 1×PBS or 0.5mg / kg siFLA4-13 or 0.5mg / kg siANA4-13 or 0.25mg / kg siANA4-13 through the tail vein, respectively. The test will be conducted 4 times, once a week. On the third day after each administration, all animals will be fasted for 6 hours and blood will be collected through the orbit for analysis of changes in TG and CHO. On the second day after the last administration, all animals will be fasted for 6 hours and then sacrificed, and blood and liver tissue samples will be collected to further determine changes in blood lipids and the expression of ANGPTL3 mRNA in liver tissue. The liver of one animal in each group was collected for Oil Red O staining to observe changes in lipid deposition in the liver.
[0242] In the second part, hApoC3 mice will be injected with 1×PBS or 0.5mg / kg siFLA4-13 or 0.5mg / kg siApoCA4-13 or 0.25mg / kg siApoCA4-13 through the tail vein. The experiment is planned to be administered 5 times, with one week interval between each administration, during which changes in blood lipids will be detected. After the last administration, all animals will still undergo blood lipid testing once a week for a total of 4 times. Thereafter, the animals will be euthanized to collect blood for blood lipid testing. The sequences of siANGPTL3 and siApoC3 involved in the experiment, as well as the PCR primers used to amplify mouse ANGPTL3 and human ApoC3 are shown in Tables 6 and 7, respectively:

[0247] 14. In vitro mRNA expression test
[0248] HepG2 cells were seeded in 12-well plates at a concentration of 2 × 10 5 cells / mL, with a volume of 1mL / well. After 24 hours, different LNPs encapsulating luciferase mRNA were added to the wells, so that the amount of mRNA added to each well was 400ng, and cultured for 6 hours under 5% CO2 and 37°C. When the predetermined time is reached, the cells are lysed with passive lysis buffer and the cell lysate is collected. Thereafter, 10μl / sample of cell lysis buffer is added to the 96-well plate, and 50μl of luciferase substrate is added to each well. Immediately after completion, the amount of fluorescence emitted by the sample is detected using an ELISA reader.
[0249] 15. Comparative test of gene inhibition by siRNA and CRISPR / Cas system
[0250] HepG2-luc cells were seeded in 6-well plates 24 hours before transfection at a concentration of 2×10 5cells / mL, with a volume of 1mL / well. The next day, LNPs encapsulated with siRNA against polo-like kinase gene 1 (siPLK1) and plasmids (pCPLK1) simultaneously expressing Cas protein and PLK1 sgRNA were added to the corresponding wells, so that the amount of siRNA and plasmid was 1600ng. The Mock group was not further treated. The cells were cultured at 5% CO2 and 37°C for 4 hours. Thereafter, 1mL of fresh culture medium was added to each well, and further culture was continued for 20 hours. After the specified time, the relative expression of PLK1 mRNA in the test sample was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (Quantitative Real-Time PCR). The nucleic acid and primer sequences of PLK1 siRNA are shown in Tables 8 and 9, respectively.

[0255] 16. Detection of protein concentration in LNP by BCA method
[0256] First, 2% Triton-X-100 was used to destroy the structure of LNP to release the encapsulated GOx. After that, 50 μl of the treated sample was added to a 96-well plate. At the same time, 50 μl of protein standards of different concentrations were added to make a standard curve. 200 μl of BCA working solution was added to each well and incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. Finally, the absorbance at 562 nm was detected using an ELISA reader. The concentration of the protein in the sample to be tested was calculated by drawing a standard curve.
[0257] Preparation Example 1 Synthesis of amine-containing lipid compound A4
[0258] Synthesis of compound A2:
[0259]
[0260] The reaction was carried out in a three-necked flask containing tert-butyl (3-aminopropyl) carbamate (1.01 g, 5.7 mmol), 1,2-epoxydodecane (2.33 g, 12.6 mmol) and 12.00 mL of ethanol, and refluxed with nitrogen at 50 °C.

The reaction was carried out at room temperature for 16 hours, and then the reaction was stopped and detected by TLC plate. The pH of the reaction mixture was adjusted to 7-8 with 1M NaOH aqueous solution, and then extracted with water and ethyl acetate for 3 times. Concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 398.0 mg of product A3 with a yield of 49.9%. 1H NMR(400MHz, CDCl3)δ(ppm)0.88(t,J=13.08Hz,6H),1.26(m,32H),1.43(m,4H),1.96(m,J=1 4.5Hz,2H),2.60(m,J=20.9Hz,4H),3.01(m,2H),3.25(m,2H),3.80(m,2H); 13C NMR (100MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm) 70.41, 63.21, 58.29, 40.79, 36.15, 31.94, 29.91, 29.69, 29.39, 23.90, 22.70, 14.11; high resolution mass spectrometry (EI+ mode) scanned compound A3 (molecular weight 443.4498), and the scanning result was 443.4576.
[0264] Synthesis of compound A4:
[0265]
[0266] A3 (2.2 g, 4.9 mmol) and succinic acid (263.3 mg, 2.2 mmol) were dissolved in 20.00 mL of dichloromethane and placed in a three-necked flask. Then, catalyst 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (753.3 mg, 5.6 mmol) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (1.13 g, 5.6 mmol) were added. Under the protection of nitrogen, the reaction was allowed to proceed for 12 hours. The reaction was stopped after detection by thin layer chromatography. The crude product was washed twice with water, twice with saturated brine, and twice with the organic phase. 0.1 g of product A4 was obtained with a yield of 3.3%. 1H NMR (400MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm) 0.88 13C NMR (100MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm) 173.26, 67.14, 59.69, 51.69, 35.70, 34.47, 34.21, 33.21, 30.95, 30.52, 29.30, 28.72, 28.42, 21.70, 13.11; high resolution mass spectrometry (EI+ mode) scanned compound (molecular weight 967.9051), the scan result was 967.9137.
[0267] Example 1
[0268] The lipid A4 obtained in Preparation Example 1 was dissolved in anhydrous ethanol with DSPC, cholesterol, and DMG-PEG (purchased from Avituo (Shanghai) Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.) at a concentration of 20 mg / ml. After the above materials were prepared, the four raw materials were mixed according to the mass ratio of A4: DSPC: cholesterol: DMG-PEG = 66.8: 10.9: 20.0: 2.2 and all of them were sucked into an insulin syringe for use. In addition, three times the volume of the organic phase mixture, pH = 4.0, 50mM citric acid / sodium citrate buffer was prepared, and all of them were also sucked into the insulin syringe for use. After that, the insulin syringes containing the organic phase mixture and the buffer were placed in the same centrifuge tube and all the liquid was quickly released. The centrifuge tube was gently shaken to prepare lipid nanoparticles A4-1.
[0269] Test Example 1
[0270] This test example aims to detect the ability of the lipid nanoparticles obtained in Example 1 to encapsulate siRNA through a gel retardation experiment, and at the same time explore the optimal mass ratio of lipid nanoparticles to siRNA. The test results are as follows Figure 1 As shown. The results show that when the mass ratio of LNP to siRNA is lower than 5:1, a large amount of siRNA still leaks, indicating that the low mass ratio is not suitable for the delivery of siRNA. When the mass ratio is greater than or equal to 5:1, siRNA is efficiently encapsulated by LNP, and when the mass ratio is 15:1, siRNA is almost completely encapsulated. This shows that when the mass ratio of LNP to siRNA is 5:1-30:1, it is the suitable mass ratio range of LNP to siRNA, and a mass ratio greater than or equal to 15:1 may achieve efficient delivery of siRNA. Therefore, in the subsequent preparation examples, this mass ratio is selected to prepare LNP.

[0670] Comparative Example 2
[0671] Lipofectime 2000 (Lipo) is a commercial transfection reagent that can mediate efficient nucleic acid delivery at the cellular level, but it can hardly achieve effective delivery at the animal level. This experiment aims to compare the efficacy of siA4-13 in C57 mice (dosage is 0.5 mg / kg). The relative expression of Lipo / siApoB is 0.85, and the relative expression of siA4-13 is 0.27. The results are shown in Fig.15 The experimental results show that Lipo has low delivery efficiency in vivo, while A4-13 can achieve efficient siRNA delivery.
[0672] Comparative Example 3
[0673] This test case is designed to detect the cellular uptake efficiency of Cy-siFLA4-13. The test analysis results are shown in Table 46, indicating that the delivery efficiency of the preparation at the cellular level is comparable to that of commercial transfection reagents. Considering that Lipo cannot achieve efficient nucleic acid delivery at the animal level, A4-13 has obvious application potential advantages in the field of nucleic acid delivery.

[0676] Comparative Example 4
[0677] This comparative example is intended to compare the endocytosis efficiency mediated by the complex obtained after Lipo encapsulated mRNA and mLuA4-13 at the cellular level. The test results are shown in Table 47, indicating that both Lipo and mLuA4-13 enable almost all cells to successfully endocytose luciferase mRNA, and Lipo achieves a higher average fluorescence signal intensity, that is, a single cell endocytoses more luciferase mRNA. However, considering that Lipo cannot achieve efficient nucleic acid delivery at the animal level, mA4-13 still has a broader range of applications.

[0680] Comparative Example 5
[0681] This comparative example is intended to compare the delivery efficiency mediated at the cellular level by liposome E obtained by using lipid E as the core lipid, and further incubated with siApoB to obtain siE, and siA4-13 obtained in Example 29. The results are shown in Table 48, indicating that siA4-13 can achieve efficient target gene inhibition at the cellular level, while siE can hardly achieve target gene inhibition at the cellular level.
