Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure belongs to the field of oligonucleotide drug technology, specifically relating to an oligonucleotide molecule with URAT1 inhibitory activity, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Urate transporter 1 (URAT1) is the main transporter protein controlling the reabsorption of urate in the kidneys and a key target in the pathogenesis of hyperuricemia. Existing drugs that treat hyperuricemia by inhibiting URAT1 typically reduce blood uric acid levels by decreasing reabsorption, thus treating hyperuricemia and gout. However, these inhibitors usually have strong hepatotoxicity and kidney damage.
[0003] RNAi is one of the more mature treatment methods currently available. Reducing the expression of the gene encoding the URAT1 protein can decrease uric acid reabsorption and promote increased uric acid excretion, thereby lowering blood uric acid levels. However, there are currently no RNAi drugs specifically targeting URAT1 on the market. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Terminology Explanation
[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this disclosure have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. While similar or equivalent methods and materials to those described herein may be used in the practice or testing of this invention, suitable methods and materials are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In case of conflict, this specification (including definitions) shall prevail. Furthermore, materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting.
[0033] In this disclosure, the terms “comprising” or “including” are open-ended expressions used to refer to the phrase “including but not limited to” and are used interchangeably with it, meaning that they include the contents specified in this disclosure but do not exclude other contents.
[0034] In this disclosure, the terms “optionally,” “optionally,” or “optionally” generally refer to an event or condition that may, but may not, occur, and the description includes both cases in which the event or condition occurs and cases in which the event or condition does not occur.
[0035] In this disclosure, the term "small interfering RNA (siRNA)" refers to a double-stranded RNA of 17 to 25 nucleotides in length, comprising a sense strand and an antisense strand. siRNA mediates targeted cleavage of RNA transcripts via the RISC pathway by forming an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Specifically, siRNA directs the specific degradation of mRNA sequences through a known RNA interference (RNAi) process, inhibiting the translation of mRNA into amino acids and its conversion into proteins.
[0036] In this disclosure, the terms "sequence" and "nucleotide sequence" refer to a sequence of nucleobases or nucleotides. As used herein, "base," "nucleotide base," or "nucleobase" is a pyrimidine or purine compound that is a component of a nucleotide and includes purine bases adenine and guanine, and pyrimidine bases cytosine, thymine, and uracil. Nucleobases may be further modified. The synthesis of modified nucleobases (including phosphorous amide compounds comprising modified nucleobases) is known in the art.
[0037] In this disclosure, the term "double-stranded oligonucleotide" refers to a double-stranded structure formed by two oligonucleotides through partial or complete base pairing. The two oligonucleotides include a sense strand and an antisense strand, which may or may not be of the same length. As long as at least some base-pairing regions exist to form a double-stranded region, the oligonucleotide having a double-stranded structure is considered a double-stranded oligonucleotide as described in this disclosure. The nucleotides constituting the double-stranded oligonucleotide in this disclosure can be modified or unmodified nucleotides. When referring to modified nucleotides, unless otherwise specified, the modification does not specifically refer to the modified site. In addition to the modification of the nucleotides, the linking bonds between the nucleotides in the double-stranded oligonucleotide in this disclosure may also be modified. Double-stranded oligonucleotides containing modified linking bonds between nucleotides are also considered double-stranded oligonucleotides as described in this invention. Besides the nucleotide portion, the double-stranded oligonucleotide in this disclosure may also contain compounds or modifiers acceptable in the art to improve the properties of the double-stranded oligonucleotide, such as linking ligands to form conjugates.
[0038] In this disclosure, the term "antisense strand (or guide strand)" includes a region substantially complementary to a target sequence. The term "sense strand (or follower strand)" refers to an iRNA strand containing an iRNA strand substantially complementary to the antisense strand. The term "substantially complementary" means completely complementary or at least partially complementary, for example, the antisense strand being completely complementary or at least partially complementary to the target sequence. In the case of partial complementarity, mismatches may be present in the internal or terminal regions of the molecule, wherein the most tolerant mismatches are present in the terminal regions, for example, within 5, 4, 3, or 2 nucleotides at the 5'- and / or 3' ends of the iRNA. It should be noted that "at least partially substantially complementary" of the antisense strand to the mRNA means that the antisense strand has a polynucleotide substantially complementary to a continuous portion of the mRNA of interest.
[0039] In this disclosure, and unless otherwise stated, the term “complementary” when used to describe a first nucleobase or nucleotide sequence (e.g., the positive / antisense strand of an RNAi agent or a targeting mRNA) relative to a second nucleobase or nucleotide sequence means the ability of an oligonucleotide or polynucleotide comprising the first nucleotide sequence to hybridize with an oligonucleotide or polynucleotide comprising the second nucleotide sequence (forming base-pair hydrogen bonds under mammalian physiological conditions (or similar in vitro conditions)) and form a double-stranded or double-helical structure under certain standard conditions.
[0040] In this disclosure, "complete complementarity" means that in a hybridized nucleobase or nucleotide sequence pair, all (100%) bases of the sequential sequence of the first oligonucleotide will hybridize with the same number of bases of the sequential sequence of the second oligonucleotide. The sequential sequence may comprise all or part of the first or second nucleotide sequence. "Partial complementarity" means that in a hybridized nucleobase or nucleotide sequence pair, a majority, such as at least 70% (but not all), of the bases of the sequential sequence of the first oligonucleotide will hybridize with the same number of bases of the sequential sequence of the second oligonucleotide. The sequential sequence may comprise all or part of the first or second nucleotide sequence.
[0041] In this disclosure, "substantially complementary" means that in the hybridized nucleobase or nucleotide sequence pair, the vast majority, such as at least 85% or up to three nucleotide differences (but not all), of the sequential sequence of the first oligonucleotide will hybridize with the same number of bases in the sequential sequence of the second oligonucleotide. The sequential sequence may comprise all or part of the first or second nucleotide sequence.
[0042] In this disclosure, the terms “complementary,” “fully complementary,” “partially complementary,” and “substantially complementary” are used to refer to nucleobase or nucleotide matching between the sense and antisense strands of an RNAi agent, or between the antisense strand of an RNAi agent and the sequence of the target mRNA.
[0043] Unless otherwise specified, the term "complementarity" refers to the ability of an oligonucleotide in the first sequence to hybridize with an oligonucleotide in the second sequence under certain conditions and form a double-stranded structure. "At least partially complementary" means that the two sequences can be completely complementary, or have no more than 5, 4, 3, or 2 mismatched base pairs in total, while retaining the ability to hybridize under the relevant conditions. Furthermore, in cases where two oligonucleotides are designed to form one or more single-stranded overhangs upon hybridization, such overhangs should not be considered mismatches for determining complementarity. Correspondingly, in this invention, unless otherwise specified, "mismatch" means that in the siRNA double-stranded molecule, the bases at corresponding positions are not paired in a complementary manner.
[0044] In this disclosure, the terms "nucleotide difference," "nucleotide base difference," and "nucleotide sequence difference" are used interchangeably. A nucleotide difference refers to a change in the type of bases of nucleotides at the same or corresponding positions compared to the original nucleotide sequence. For example, if a nucleotide base in the original nucleotide sequence is A, and the nucleotide base at the same or corresponding position is changed to U, C, G, or dT, dC, dG, etc., then a nucleotide sequence difference is considered to exist at that position. It should be noted that if, compared to the original nucleotide sequence, the nucleotides at the same or corresponding positions differ only in the presence or type of modification, then a nucleotide sequence difference is not considered to exist at that position.
[0045] In this disclosure, the terms "ligand" or "conjugation group" refer to an atom or group of atoms that binds to an oligonucleotide or other oligomer. Generally, a conjugation group modifies one or more properties of the compound to which it is linked, including but not limited to pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, binding, absorption, cellular distribution, cellular uptake, charge, and / or clearance properties. When referring to a link between two molecules, the term "link" as used herein means that the two molecules are directly or indirectly connected by a covalent bond, or that the two molecules are associated by a non-covalent bond (e.g., a hydrogen bond or an ionic bond).
[0046] In this disclosure, the terms “link” or “association” refer to the connection between two compounds or molecules, meaning that the two molecules are linked by a covalent bond or associated via a non-covalent bond (e.g., a hydrogen bond or an ionic bond). Unless otherwise stated, the terms “link” and “association” as used in this disclosure may refer to a link between a first compound and a second compound, with or without any inserted atoms or groups of atoms.
[0047] In this disclosure, a linking group is one or more atoms that connect one molecule or a portion of a molecule to another second molecule or a second portion of a molecule. A linking group can contain any number of atoms or functional groups. In some embodiments, the linking group is used solely to link two bioactive molecules.
[0048] Unless otherwise stated, any symbol used in this disclosure refers to any group or groups that may be attached thereto, which is consistent with the scope of the invention as described in this disclosure.

[0311] Preparation Example 1: Synthesis of siRNA
[0312] (1-1) Synthesis of the Chain of Justice (SS)
[0313] The phosphoramidite solid-phase synthesis method involves sequentially linking nucleoside monomers along the 3'-5' direction according to the nucleotide sequence. Each linking of a nucleoside monomer involves four steps: deprotection, coupling, capping, and oxidation or sulfidation. The synthetic conditions are given below:
[0314] The nucleoside monomer was prepared into an acetonitrile solution with a concentration of 0.1 M.
[0315] The deprotection reaction conditions were the same for each step. The deprotection reaction conditions were: temperature 25℃, reaction time 70 seconds, deprotection reagent was a dichloromethane solution of dichloroacetic acid (3% by volume), and the molar ratio of dichloroacetic acid to the 4,4'-dimethoxytriphenylmethyl protecting group on the solid support was 5:1.
[0316] The conditions for each coupling reaction were identical. The coupling reaction conditions were as follows: temperature 25℃, molar ratio of nucleic acid sequence to nucleoside monomer on the solid-phase support 1:10, molar ratio of nucleic acid sequence to coupling reagent on the solid-phase support 1:65, reaction time 600 seconds, coupling reagent 0.5M acetonitrile solution of 5-ethylthio-1H-tetrazole, and thioreagent 0.2mol / L acetonitrile / pyridine mixed solution of hydrogenated xanthanin (acetonitrile and pyridine volume ratio 1:1).
[0317] The conditions for each capping reaction were identical. The conditions for the capping reaction were: temperature 25℃; reaction time 2 minutes; the capping reagent solution was a 1:1 molar ratio of Cap1 and Cap2, where Cap1 was a 20% (v / v) N-methylimidazole pyridine / acetonitrile mixture with a pyridine to acetonitrile volume ratio of 3:5, and Cap2 was a 20% (v / v) acetic anhydride acetonitrile solution; the molar ratio of N-methylimidazole in Cap1 and acetic anhydride in Cap2 to the nucleic acid sequence linked on the solid-phase support was 1:1:1.
[0318] The conditions for each oxidation reaction were identical. The oxidation reaction conditions were: temperature 25°C; reaction time 3 seconds; oxidizing agent concentration of 0.05M iodine solution, with a molar ratio of iodine to the nucleic acid sequence linked on the solid support in the coupling reaction of 30:1; the oxidation reaction was carried out in a water / pyridine mixed solvent (water to pyridine volume ratio 1:9). The sulfidation reaction conditions were: temperature 25°C; reaction time 360 seconds; thioreagent concentration of 0.2M hydroflavin in pyridine solution, with a molar ratio of thioreagent to the nucleic acid sequence linked on the solid support in the coupling reaction of 4:1; the thioreagent reaction was carried out in a water / pyridine mixed solvent (water to pyridine volume ratio 1:9).
[0319] After the last nucleoside monomer was ligated, the nucleic acid sequence ligated on the solid-phase support was sequentially cut, deprotected, purified, and desalted, and then freeze-dried to obtain the positive strand, wherein:
[0320] The cleavage and deprotection conditions were as follows: The synthesized nucleotide sequence linked to a solid-phase support was added to 25% (w / w) ammonia solution at a concentration of 0.5 mL / μmol. The reaction was carried out at 55 °C for 16 hours. The solvent was removed, and the solution was concentrated to dryness under vacuum. After ammonia treatment, the product was dissolved in 0.4 mL / μmol N-methylpyrrolidone relative to the amount of single-stranded nucleic acid. Subsequently, 0.3 mL / μmol triethylamine and 0.6 mL / μmol triethylamine trifluoride were added to deprotect the 2'-O-TBDMS protection on the ribose.
[0321] Purification and desalting conditions: Nucleic acid purification was performed using a preparative ion chromatography column (Source 15Q) with a NaCl gradient elution. Specifically: eluent 1 was 20 mM sodium phosphate (pH = 8.1), and the solvent was a water / acetonitrile mixture (water to acetonitrile volume ratio of 9:1); eluent 2 was 1.5 M sodium chloride, 20 mM sodium phosphate (pH = 8.1), and the solvent was a water / acetonitrile mixture (water to acetonitrile volume ratio of 9:1); the elution gradient was eluent 1: eluent 2 = (100:0) - (50:50). The product eluates were collected and combined, and desalting was performed using a reverse chromatographic purification column. Desalting conditions included using a dextran gel column (g25 dextran gel) and elution with deionized water.
[0322] Detection: Purity was determined using ion exchange chromatography (IEX-HPLC); molecular weight was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The measured molecular weight was compared with the theoretical value. If the measured value and the theoretical value were consistent, it indicated that the siRNA positive strand had been obtained.
[0323] (1-2) Synthesis of antisense strand (AS)
[0324] The phosphoramidite solid-phase synthesis method involves linking nucleoside monomers one by one along the 3'-5' direction according to the nucleotide sequence. Each linking of a nucleoside monomer includes four steps: deprotection, coupling, capping, and oxidation or sulfidation. The deprotection, coupling, capping, oxidation or sulfidation reaction conditions, cleavage and deprotection conditions, purification and desalting conditions in the solid-phase synthesis of the antisense strand are the same as those in step (1-1) for the synthesis of the sense strand.
[0325] Detection: Purity was determined using ion exchange chromatography (IEX-HPLC); molecular weight was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The measured molecular weight was compared with the theoretical value. If the measured value and the theoretical value were consistent, it indicated that the siRNA antisense strand had been obtained.
[0326] (1-3) Synthesis of siRNA
[0327] The sense strand synthesized in step (1-1) and the antisense strand synthesized in step (1-2) were mixed in an equimolar ratio, dissolved in water for injection, and heated to 95°C. The mixture was then slowly cooled to room temperature and kept at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the sense and antisense strands to form a double-stranded structure through hydrogen bonds, thereby obtaining siRNA with the sense and antisense strands shown in Table 4.

[0345] in vitro activity assessment of siRNA sequences
[0346] Vero cells (gifted by Beijing Institute of Technology) were cultured in complete medium (DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-dextrose antibiotics) at 5% CO2 and 37°C. After reaching 80% confluence, the cells were digested with trypsin and resuspended. The resuspended cells were then adjusted to a density of 0.6 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL using complete medium. 5 / wells were inoculated into 24-well plates and transfected after 24 hours of incubation.
[0347] Preparation of siRNA transfection mixture: Prepare a 20 μM stock solution of siRNA with PBS. Then, add 1.5 μL of the siRNA stock solution to each well and dilute it with 48.5 μL of Opti-MEM medium to prepare 50 μL of siRNA working solution. Add 3 μL of the stock solution to each well. The RNAiMAX transfection reagent was diluted in 47 μl of Opti-MEM medium and incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes to prepare a 50 μl working solution for transfection. Then, 50 μl of siRNA working solution was mixed with the 50 μl working solution of the transfection reagent to prepare the siRNA transfection mixture. For the MOCK group, 50 μl of Opti-MEM medium was mixed with 50 μl of the working solution of the transfection reagent.
[0348] On the day of transfection, replace 500 μl / well of Opti-MEM medium in each well of the 24-well plate, and add 100 μl of the corresponding siRNA transfection mixture or MOCK group transfection mixture to each well, with a final siRNA concentration of 50 nM / well. After culturing for another 24 hours, extract total RNA using a chemical extraction method. Specifically, after removing the medium from each well, add 1 mL of Trizol solution, lyse the cells by pipetting, transfer the lysate to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, add 200 μL of chloroform, vortex to mix, and incubate at room temperature for 3 min. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. Add 400 μL of the supernatant to a centrifuge tube containing 400 μL of isopropanol, mix, and incubate at room temperature for 10 min. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, and discard the supernatant. Add 1 mL of 75% ethanol, invert the centrifuge tube, and wash the precipitate. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 5 min at 4°C, remove the supernatant, air dry at room temperature, and extract total RNA.
[0349] Take 1 μg of total RNA, and use a reverse transcription kit (Promega, Reverse Transcription System, A3500) with Oligo(dT)15 reverse transcription primers. Prepare a 20 μL reverse transcription system according to the instructions of the reverse transcription kit and complete the reverse transcription reaction. After the reaction, add 80 μL of RNase-free water to the reverse transcription system to obtain a cDNA solution. Then, use a real-time quantitative PCR kit (ABI, SYBR). TM Select MasterMix (Catalog number: 4472908) was used to detect the expression level of target gene mRNA in Vero cells. In this real-time quantitative PCR method, primers targeting the target gene and primers targeting the internal reference gene were used to detect the target gene and the internal reference gene, respectively. A 20 μL Real-time PCR reaction system was prepared for each PCR detection well according to the instructions of the real-time quantitative PCR kit. Each reaction system contained 5 μL of cDNA solution obtained from the above reverse transcription reaction and 10 μL of SYBR Green. TMSelect Master Mix, 0.5 μL of 10 μM upstream primer, 0.5 μL of 10 μM downstream primer, and 4 μL of RNase-Free H2O. Place the prepared reaction mixture in a real-time quantitative PCR instrument (ABI, StepOnePlus). TM Real-time PCR amplification was performed using a three-step method. The amplification program was: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 10 min, followed by 95℃ denaturation for 30 s, 60℃ annealing for 30 s, and 72℃ extension for 30 s. This denaturation, annealing, and extension process was repeated for 40 cycles. In this real-time quantitative PCR method, the ΔΔCt method was used to calculate the relative quantitative levels and inhibition rates of the target gene mRNA in each test group. The calculation method is as follows:
[0350] ΔCt(test group) = Ct(target gene in test group) - Ct(internal reference gene in test group)
[0351] ΔCt(control group) = Ct(target gene in control group) - Ct(internal reference gene in control group)
[0352] ΔCt(test group) = ΔCt(test group) - ΔCt(control group average)
[0353] ΔCt(control group) = ΔCt(control group) - ΔCt(control group average)
[0354] Here, ΔCt (control group average) is the arithmetic mean of ΔCt (control group) from several replicates in the MOCK group. Therefore, each cell well in both the test and control groups corresponds to a ΔCt value.
[0355] The relative expression level of the target gene mRNA in the test group was 2. -ΔΔCt (Test group) × 100%
[0356] Using the control group as a baseline, the expression level of the target gene mRNA in the test group was normalized, and the expression level of the target gene mRNA in the control group was defined as 100%.
[0357] The inhibition rate of target gene mRNA expression in the test group = (1 - relative expression level of target gene mRNA in the test group) × 100%
[0358] Unless otherwise stated, in vivo activity data are presented in [year]. The experimental data were all plotted and analyzed using GraphPadprism 8.0 software.

[0360] This embodiment uses an in vitro cell transfection method to evaluate the inhibitory activity of URAT1-targeting siRNA sequences on Vero cells. Vero cells grown to 80% confluency were digested, plated in 24-well plates, cultured overnight, and then transfected. A mock control group was also included. The final siRNA transfection concentration was 50 nM / well. 24 hours post-transfection, RNA extraction, reverse transcription, and Real-time PCR were performed as described above. The relative quantification of target gene mRNA in each test group was calculated using the aforementioned ΔΔCt method.
