Benefits of technology

[0031]the present invention relates to a cationic lipid containing an ester having a tertiary amino group and an aromatic ring, a lipid moiety, and a disulfide bond which is a biodegradable group, and a lipid membrane structure containing the cationic lipid. The cationic lipid of the present invention can form a lipid membrane structure, and can provide a nucleic acid-introducing agent containing the cationic lipid. The cationic lipid of the present invention can adjust pKa of a lipid membrane structure that influences endosomal escape efficiency, also has high membrane fusion capacity in the endosomal environment, and thus promotes endosomal escape. Furthermore, the disulfide bond contained in the cationic lipid of the present invention is cleaved in the intracellular reductive environment and release of an encapsulated material (nucleic acid) is promoted. Hence, a nucleic acid-introducing agent using the cationic lipid of the present invention can achieve high efficiency of nucleic acid delivery into the cytoplasm.
[0032]When nucleic acid is introduced using the cationic lipid of the present invention, or a lipid membrane structure containing the same, degradation of the nucleic acid by the serum components is suppressed, which is advantageous for nucleic acid introduction in the presence of serum or nucleic acid introduction in vivo.

Problems solved by technology

While virus vectors are nucleic acid delivery carriers with good expression efficiency, they have practical problems from the aspect of safety.
However, not all lipid membrane structures with an appropriate pKa show high nucleic acid delivery efficiency, and there is no description about the effects of the cationic lipids in these documents which are other than the adjustment of pKa of the lipid membrane structure.
However, despite such technical progress in the pertinent field, the efficiency of nucleic acid delivery to cells which is achieved by the lipid membrane structure using these cationic lipids is not sufficiently satisfactory, and further improvement is desired.

[Example 1] Synthesis of O—Ph—P3C1

[0176]While O—Ph—P3C1 was produced by the method of the formula (2), the production thereof is not limited to this method.

[0177]The formula (2)

Acid Anhydridation of Oleic Acid

[0178]Oleic acid (manufactured by NOF CORPORATION) (70.0 g, 248 mmol) was dissolved in chloroform (560 g) at room temperature, and the mixture was cooled to 10-15° C. Thereto was added dropwise a suspension of DCC (manufactured by Osaka

[0179]Synthetic Chemical Laboratories, Inc.) (25.1 g, 121 mmol) dissolved in chloroform (140 g), and the mixture was reacted at 10-25° C. for 2 hr. The reaction solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated by an evaporator. The obtained is concentrate was re-dissolved in hexane (210 g), and insoluble material was removed by filtration. The obtained filtrate was concentrated by an evaporator to give oleic anhydride (64.2 g). 1H-NMR spectrum (600 MHz, CDCl3) of oleic anhydride 60.86-0.90 ppm (t, 6H), δ1.25-1.40 ppm (m, 40H), δ1.61-1.68;...

While virus vectors are nucleic acid delivery carriers with good expression efficiency, they have practical problems from the aspect of safety. Therefore, the development of non-viral is nucleic acid delivery carriers that can be used more safely is ongoing. Among them, carriers using a cationic lipid are non-viral nucleic acid delivery carriers most generally used at present.[0003]Cationic lipids are largely composed of an amine moiety and a lipid moiety, wherein the amine moiety showing cationicity and a polyanion nucleic acid electrostatically interact to form a positively-charged liposome or lipid membrane structure, which promotes uptake into cells and delivers the nucleic acid int...
