Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedical carriers, and in particular relates to a guanidine-derived ionizable lipid material, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] As an emerging treatment strategy, gene therapy has shown good application prospects for pathological conditions related to abnormal gene expression, such as cancer, vitiligo, scars, and ophthalmic diseases. However, the special structure of nucleic acid gene drugs (such as small interfering RNA, messenger RNA, and plasmid DNA) makes them susceptible to nuclease degradation in the body, thereby reducing their bioavailability and therapeutic effects. In addition, the delivery efficiency of nucleic acid gene drugs is often limited by the ability to penetrate the cell membrane, resulting in the inability of the drug to effectively reach the target cells; therefore, the effectiveness of nucleic acid gene drugs depends on efficient and targeted delivery vectors to ensure that the drug can cross the cell membrane and successfully reach the target cell.

[0003] In recent years, biomedical carrier materials have shown significant potential in the delivery of nucleic acid-based gene drugs. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have attracted widespread attention due to their good biocompatibility, stability and certain drug delivery capabilities. However, current LNP carriers still face multiple challenges in gene drug delivery, including low delivery efficiency, insufficient targeting and rapid degradation in the body.

[0004] In the study of LNP carriers, guanidine-derived ionizable lipid materials show good drug delivery potential due to their unique chemical structure and physicochemical properties. Guanidine compounds have strong alkalinity and can form stable complexes with biological molecules such as nucleic acids, thereby effectively loading nucleic acid gene drugs. In addition, drug-loaded LNPs prepared from this ionizable lipid material have excellent drug release characteristics in an acidic environment, which is suitable for targeted release in the tumor microenvironment, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect.

[0005] Based on this, developing a new type of guanidine-derived ionizable lipid material as the core material of LNP carriers in order to improve the delivery efficiency of nucleic acid gene drugs and enhance their stability and targeting in vivo is a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved in this field.

[0106] Example 12

[0107] The guanidine-derived ionizable lipid material P10b was selected as a representative compound to prepare lipid nanoparticles (LNP). The guanidine-derived ionizable lipid material (P10b), DOPE, cholesterol and DSPC-PEG50:20:10:20 molar ratio were dissolved in ethanol to prepare an ethanol phase solution. Next, Fluc-eGFP mRNA was added to 50mM citrate buffer (pH=4) to form an aqueous phase solution.

[0108] Embodiment 13

[0109] Characterization of Guanidine-derivatized Ionizable Lipid Nanoparticles:

[0110] The particle size, Zeta potential, and polydispersity index (PDI) of the lipid nanoparticles (LNP) prepared in Example 12 were measured using a dynamic light scattering laser particle size analyzer (DLS). The Quant-iT RiboGreen RNA Assay kit was used to determine the Fluc-eGFP mRNA encapsulation efficiency in the LNP. The average particle size of the LNP was measured to be 85 nm, the particle size distribution was relatively uniform, and the polydispersity index (PDI) was 0.18, indicating that the LNP had good uniformity and a potential close to neutral.

[0111] Embodiment 14

[0112] The in vitro transfection efficiency of P10b LNP was investigated, and the specific method included the following steps:

[0113] (1) The negative control group was set up with Fluc-eGFP mRNA basal culture medium solution, and the positive control was set up with DLin-MC3

[0114] LNP (encapsulated with Fluc-eGFP mRNA) basal culture medium solution, and the drug-treated group received the basal culture medium solution of P10b LNP;

[0115] (2) 293T cells in the logarithmic growth phase were seeded in 6-well plates at 200,000 cells per well and incubated for 12 h before transfection;

[0116] (3) The negative control group was added with the basal culture medium solution of Fluc-eGFP mRNA, and the drug-treated group was added with the basal culture medium solution of P10b LNP so that each well contained 0.2 μg of Fluc-eGFP mRNA;
