Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of drug delivery, and particularly relates to a cationic lipid for a pharmaceutical carrier, and more particularly to a cationic lipid containing a nitrogen heterocycle, a liposome containing the cationic lipid, a liposome nucleic acid drug composition containing the cationic lipid, its preparation and application. Background Art

[0002] Liposomes are widely used for delivering nucleic acid drugs, gene vaccines, anti-tumor drugs, small molecule drugs, polypeptide drugs or protein drugs. Especially with the approval of two messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines for vaccination to prevent COVID-19, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) carrying mRNA have become a popular delivery technology. In addition to negatively charged mRNA, LNPs also contain four components: ionizable cationic lipids, neutral co-lipids, sterol lipids, and polyethylene glycolated lipids. Among them, cationic lipids interact with negatively charged mRNA through electrostatic interaction. Neutral co-lipids are generally phospholipids, which play a role in preventing lipid oxidation, connecting ligands to the surface of liposomes, or reducing the aggregation of lipid particles. Sterol lipids have strong membrane fusion properties, promoting the intracellular uptake and cytoplasmic entry of mRNA; PEGylated lipids are located on the surface of lipid nanoparticles, improving their hydrophilicity, avoiding rapid clearance by the immune system, preventing particle aggregation, and increasing stability. Among the four lipids for preparing LNPs, the most critical one is the ionizable cationic lipid, which is not ionized and has a neutral charge under physiological conditions, and can be ionized to carry a partial positive charge under acidic conditions. For example, when cationic lipids are used as carriers to deliver nucleic acid drugs, at low pH, cationic lipids and nucleic acids (such as mRNA encoding antigens) are combined through electrostatic interaction and encapsulated into LNPs. After LNPs enter cells, nucleic acids (such as mRNA) escape from endosomes and are released into the cytoplasm, and mRNA is further translated into antigen molecules in the cytoplasm, ultimately achieving efficient delivery and transfection of mRNA molecules.

[0003] Although there have been recent advances in the use of cationic lipids for drug delivery, there is still a need in the art for alternative cationic lipids suitable for conventional therapeutic uses. Document WO2021026358A1 reports that nitrogen-containing lipids can be protonated to carry a positive charge or a partial positive charge at physiological pH. The nitrogen heterocycle of the cationic lipid containing a nitrogen heterocycle disclosed in Document CN102421417B is in the middle part of the entire lipid structure, and a lipophilic long chain is led out by the nitrogen heterocycle. In this application, some novel cationic lipids containing a nitrogen heterocycle and having a polar head led out by the nitrogen heterocycle are designed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides novel cationic lipids, cationic liposomes containing the cationic lipids, pharmaceutical compositions and formulations containing the cationic liposomes.

Embodiment

[0025] Term Explanation

[0026] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, each term has the following meanings.

[0027] In the present invention, when the structure involved has isomers, without special designation, any one of the isomers may be used. For example, for a structure having cis-trans isomers, it may be either the cis structure or the trans structure; for a structure having E / Z isomers, it may be either the E structure or the Z structure; when there is optical activity, it may be either the left-handed or the right-handed form.

[0028] In the present invention, the interpretation of a numerical range includes both the numerical range marked with a short dash (such as 1-6) and the numerical range marked with a tilde (such as 1~6). In the present invention, without special explanation, an integer range marked in interval form can represent the set composed of all integers within the range of the interval, and this range includes both endpoints. For example, the integer range 1-6 represents the set composed of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The numerical ranges in the present invention include, but are not limited to, numerical ranges represented by integers, non-integers, percentages, and fractions. Without special explanation, both endpoints are included.

[0029] In the present invention, when a numerical value involves "about" or "around", it generally refers to a numerical range of ±10%, and in some cases, it can be enlarged to ±15%, but not exceeding ±20%, based on the preset numerical value. For example, when the molar percentage of steroid lipid in the total lipid in a solution containing a solvent is about 40%, it is generally considered to include the case where the molar percentage of steroid lipid is 30%-50%.

[0030] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the terms "comprising", "including", "containing" and similar expressions shall be interpreted in an open and inclusive sense as "including but not limited to" in this specification and the claims.

[0031] In the present invention, when two or more objects are "each independently preferably", when there are multiple levels of preferred cases, it is not required that they are all selected from the same level of preferred groups. One can be a preferred case in a large range, one can be a preferred case in a small range, or one can be the maximum range and the other can be any preferred case, or they can be selected from the same level of preferred cases.

[0032] In the present invention, for the divalent linking group, such as alkylene, alkylidene, arylene, amide bond, etc., without special limitation, when connecting other groups, either of the two connecting ends can be selected. For example, when using an amide bond as the divalent linking group between C-CH2CH2- and -CH2-D, it can be C-CH2CH2-C(=O)NH-CH2-D or C-CH2CH2-NHC(=O)-CH2-D.

[0033] In the structural formula of the present invention, when the end group of the linking group is likely to be confused with the substituent contained in the linking group, is used to mark the position where the linking group connects other groups. For example, in the structural formula In [it], the is used to label the two positions connecting other groups in the divalent linking group. The above two structural formulas respectively represent -CH(CH2CH2CH3)2- and -CH2CH2CH(CH3)2-CH2CH2-.

[0034] In the present invention, the number of carbon atoms in a group is marked in subscript form at the subscript position of C, indicating the number of carbon atoms in the group. For example, C 1-12 represents "having 1 to 12 carbon atoms", and C 1-30 represents "having 1 to 30 carbon atoms". "Substituted C 1-12 alkyl" refers to a compound obtained by substituting the hydrogen atoms of C 1-12 alkyl. "C 1-12 substituted alkyl" refers to a compound having 1 - 12 carbon atoms obtained after substituting the hydrogen atoms of the alkyl. For another example, when a group can be selected from C 1-12 alkylene, it can be selected from any alkylene having the number of carbon atoms within the range indicated by the subscript, that is, it can be selected from C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C 10 , C 11 , C 12 any one of the alkylene. In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the subscripts marked in interval form all represent any integer within the range, and this range includes both endpoints.

[0035] In the present invention, a heterocycle refers to a cyclic group containing 3 - 12 ring-forming atoms, in which one or more ring-forming carbon atoms are replaced by one or more heteroatoms preferably selected from oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. Heterocycles include but are not limited to any one of monocyclic, polycyclic, spirocyclic, bridged cyclic, fused cyclic, carbocyclic, heterocyclic, heterocycloaliphatic, heteromonocyclic, heteropolycyclic, heterospirocyclic, heterobridged cyclic, heterocycloaliphatic structures or a combined structure of any two or more cyclic types. A nitrogen-containing heterocycle is a heterocycle or substituted heterocycle in which the ring-forming atoms contain one or more nitrogen atoms.

[0036] In the present invention, ring-forming atoms refer to the atoms located on the ring, which are carbon atoms or heteroatoms.

[0037] In the present invention, the heteroatoms are not particularly limited and include but are not limited to O, S, N, P, Si, F, Cl, Br, I, B, etc.

[0038] In the present invention, the heteroatoms used for substitution are called "substituting atoms", and any group used for substitution is called a "substituent".

[0039] In the present invention, "substituted" means that at least one hydrogen atom in any group (e.g., aliphatic hydrocarbon group, hydrocarbon group, alkyl group or alkylene group) is replaced by a bond connected to a non-hydrogen atom, and the non-hydrogen atom is, for example, but not limited to: halogen atoms such as F, Cl, Br and I; oxo group (=O); hydroxyl group (-OH); alkoxy group (-OR d , where R d is C 1-12 alkyl); carboxyl group (-COOH,); amine group (-NR c R c , and two R c are each independently H, C 1-12 alkyl); C 1-12 alkyl and cycloalkyl. In some embodiments, the substituent is C 1-12 alkyl. In other embodiments, the substituent is cycloalkyl. In other embodiments, the substituent is a halogenated group, such as fluoro. In other embodiments, the substituent is an oxo group. In other embodiments, the substituent is a hydroxyl group. In other embodiments, the substituent is an alkoxy group. In other embodiments, the substituent is a carboxyl group. In other embodiments, the substituent is an amine group.

[0040] In the present invention, "carbon chain linking group" refers to a linking group in which all main chain atoms are carbon atoms, and the side chain part allows heteroatoms or groups containing heteroatoms to replace the hydrogen atoms of the main chain carbon. When the "main chain atom" is a heteroatom, it is also called "main chain heteroatom", such as A-S-CH2-B, A-O-CH2-B, (the atomic interval is recorded as 4) is regarded as containing a main chain heteroatom. The carbon chain linking group can be divided into alkylene group and carbon chain linking group with heteroatoms in the side chain; the carbon chain linking group with heteroatoms in the side chain includes but is not limited to oxo (=O), thio (=S), amino (connected to the main chain carbon through a carbon-nitrogen double bond), oxoalkyl group in the form of an ether bond, thioalkyl group in the form of a thioether bond, azaalkyl group in the form of a tertiary amino group, etc. The "carbon chain linking group" has a main chain entirely composed of carbon atoms, and the side chain of the carbon chain is allowed to contain heteroatoms. That is, it is connected by methylene or substituted methylene. The substituted methylene can be replaced by a monovalent substituent, two monovalent substituents or a divalent substituent (such as divalent oxygen, such as forming a three-membered ring together with divalent methylene ). The substituted methylene can be that one hydrogen atom is replaced (such as -CH(CH3)-), or two hydrogen atoms are respectively replaced (such as -(CH3)C(OCH3)-), or two hydrogen atoms are simultaneously replaced (such as carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, -C(=NH)-, -C(=N + H2)-), or a cyclic side group (such as the atomic interval is recorded as 1).

[0041] In the present invention, the secondary amine bond and hydrazine bond refer to those with both ends of “-NH-” capped by alkylene groups, such as -CH2-NH-CH2-; while -C(=O)-NH- is called an amide bond and is not regarded as containing a secondary amine bond.

[0042] In the present invention, a compound, a group or an atom can be simultaneously substituted and hybridized. For example, a nitro phenyl group substitutes a hydrogen atom, or -CH2-CH2-CH2- is replaced by -CH2-S-CH(CH3)-.

[0043] In the present invention, the “linking bond” only serves as a connecting function and does not contain any atoms. When a certain group is defined as a linking bond, it means that this group can be absent.

[0044] In the present invention, “each occurrence is independently” not only means that different groups can independently be any option in the definition, but also means that when appearing at different positions in the same group, they can also independently be any option in the definition. For example, in -Z-L4-Z-, “Z each occurrence is independently -(C=O)-, -O(C=O)-, -(C=O)O-, -O(C=O)O-, -O-, -S-, -C(=O)S-, -SC(=O)-, -NR c C(=O)-, -C(=O)NR c -, -NR c C(=O)NR c -, -OC(=O)NR c -, -NR c C(=O)O-, -SC(=O)NR c - and -NR c C(=O)S- and any one of them, where R c each occurrence is independently a hydrogen atom or C 1-12 alkyl”. In the group “-Z-L4-Z-”, the two Z groups can be the same or different. In the group “-NR c C(=O)NR c -”, the two R c can be the same or different and are independently a hydrogen atom or C 1-12 alkyl.

[0045] The “group” in the present invention contains at least 1 atom and refers to a radical formed by a compound losing one or more atoms. Relative to a compound, the group formed after losing some groups is also called a residue. The valence state of the group is not particularly limited. As examples, it can be divided into monovalent groups, divalent groups, trivalent groups, tetravalent groups,..., 100-valent groups, etc. Among them, groups with a valence state of 2 or more are collectively called linking groups. A linking group can also contain only one atom, such as an oxygen group or a sulfur group.

[0046] In the present invention, "hydrocarbon" refers to a hydrocarbon compound composed of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms.

[0047] In the present invention, according to the type of hydrocarbon group, hydrocarbons are divided into two types: aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons that do not contain any benzene ring or benzene ring substituted by a hydrocarbon group are defined as aliphatic hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons that contain at least one benzene ring or benzene ring substituted by a hydrocarbon group are defined as aromatic hydrocarbons. And aromatic hydrocarbons may contain aliphatic hydrocarbon group structures, such as toluene, diphenylmethane, indane, etc.

[0048] In the present invention, according to the saturation situation, hydrocarbons are divided into two types: saturated hydrocarbons and unsaturated hydrocarbons. All aromatic hydrocarbons are unsaturated hydrocarbons. Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are also called alkanes. The degree of unsaturation of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons is not particularly limited. By way of example, and without limitation, include olefins (containing double bonds), alkynes (containing triple bonds), dienes (containing two conjugated double bonds), etc. When the aliphatic hydrocarbon part in an aromatic hydrocarbon is a saturated structure, it is also called an arylalkane, such as toluene.

[0049] In the present invention, there is no particular limitation on the structure of hydrocarbons, which can be in the form of a straight-chain structure without side groups, a branched-chain structure with side groups, a cyclic structure, a dendritic structure, a comb-like structure, a hyperbranched structure, etc. In the absence of a special definition, a straight-chain structure without side groups, a branched-chain structure with side groups, and a cyclic structure are preferably selected, corresponding to straight-chain hydrocarbons, branched-chain hydrocarbons, and cycloalkanes respectively. Among them, hydrocarbons without cyclic structures are collectively referred to as open-chain hydrocarbons, including but not limited to a straight-chain structure without side groups and a branched-chain structure with side groups. Open-chain hydrocarbons belong to aliphatic hydrocarbons. Therefore, straight-chain hydrocarbons can also be called straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons. Branched-chain hydrocarbons can also be called branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons.

[0050] In the present invention, compounds formed by substituting any carbon atom in a hydrocarbon with a heteroatom are collectively referred to as hetero-hydrocarbons.

[0051] In the present invention, "hydrocarbon group" refers to a residue formed after a hydrocarbon loses at least one hydrogen atom. According to the number of hydrogen atoms lost, it can be divided into monovalent hydrocarbon groups (losing one hydrogen atom), divalent hydrocarbon groups (losing two hydrogen atoms, also called alkylene groups), trivalent hydrocarbon groups (losing three hydrogen atoms), and so on. By analogy, when losing n hydrogen atoms, the valence state of the formed hydrocarbon group is n. In the absence of a special designation, the hydrocarbon groups in the present invention specifically refer to monovalent hydrocarbon groups.

[0052] There is no particular limitation on the source of the hydrocarbon groups in the present invention. For example, they can be derived from aliphatic hydrocarbons or aromatic hydrocarbons, can also be derived from saturated hydrocarbons or unsaturated hydrocarbons, can also be derived from straight-chain hydrocarbons, branched-chain hydrocarbons or cycloalkanes, and can also be derived from hydrocarbons or hetero-hydrocarbons, etc. From the perspective of saturation, for example, they can be derived from alkanes, olefins, alkynes, dienes, etc.; for cycloalkanes, for example, they can be derived from alicyclic hydrocarbons or aromatic hydrocarbons, monocyclic hydrocarbons or polycyclic hydrocarbons; for heterocyclic hydrocarbons, for example, they can be derived from alicyclic heterocyclic hydrocarbons or aromatic heterocyclic hydrocarbons.

[0053] In the present invention, "aliphatic hydrocarbon group" refers to a residue formed by an aliphatic hydrocarbon after losing at least one hydrogen atom. Unless otherwise specified, the aliphatic hydrocarbon group in the present invention specifically refers to a monovalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group. The aliphatic hydrocarbon group includes a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group and an unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group.

[0054] In the present invention, "alkyl group" refers to a hydrocarbon group formed from an alkane. Unless otherwise specified, it refers to a hydrocarbon group formed by losing a hydrogen atom at any position, which can be straight-chain or branched-chain, and can be substituted or unsubstituted. Specifically, for example, propyl group refers to either n-propyl or isopropyl, and propylene group refers to any one of 1,3-propylene group, 1,2-propylene group, and isopropylene group.

[0055] In the present invention, "unsaturated hydrocarbon group" refers to a hydrocarbon group formed by an unsaturated hydrocarbon losing a hydrogen atom. The hydrocarbon group formed by an unsaturated hydrocarbon losing a hydrogen atom on an unsaturated carbon can be classified into alkenyl group, alkynyl group, diene group, etc. For example, propenyl group and propynyl group. The hydrocarbon group formed by an unsaturated hydrocarbon losing a hydrogen atom on a saturated carbon is called an olefinic group, an alkyne, a diene group, etc. according to the different unsaturated bonds. Specifically, for example, allyl group and propargyl group.

[0056] In the present invention, "alkenyl group" or "alkenyl group" means a substituted or unsubstituted straight-chain or branched-chain alkenyl group including two or more carbon atoms (for example, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty or more carbon atoms) and at least one carbon-carbon double bond. The label "C 2-15 alkenyl" means a substituted or unsubstituted straight-chain or branched-chain alkenyl group including 2-15 carbon atoms and at least one carbon-carbon double bond, that is, the alkenyl group can include one, two, three, four or more carbon-carbon double bonds. Unless otherwise specifically stated, the alkenyl groups described herein refer to both unsubstituted and substituted alkenyl groups.

[0057] In the present invention, "alkynyl group" or "alkynyl group" means an optionally substituted straight-chain or branched-chain hydrocarbon including two or more carbon atoms (for example, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty or more carbon atoms) and at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. The label "C 2-15 alkynyl" means a substituted or unsubstituted straight-chain or branched-chain alkynyl group including 2-15 carbon atoms and at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. The alkynyl group can include one, two, three, four or more carbon-carbon triple bonds. Unless otherwise specifically stated, the alkynyl groups described herein refer to both unsubstituted and substituted alkynyl groups.

[0058] In the present invention, the aliphatic hydrocarbon derivative is preferably an ether-derivatized aliphatic hydrocarbon, an aliphatic hydrocarbon derivative containing 1 to 2 ether bonds, and more preferably an aliphatic hydrocarbon derivative containing 2 ether bonds.

[0059] In the present invention, "molecular weight" characterizes the mass of a compound molecule. When not specifically stated, the measurement unit of "molecular weight" is Dalton, Da.

[0060] In the present invention, for percentages, "about" generally means ±0.5%.

[0061] In the present invention, "stable existence" and "degradability" of a group are relative concepts.

[0062] In the present invention, "be degradable or can be degraded" means the breaking of chemical bonds of the invention, and the breaking results in at least two residues independently of each other. If the structure is changed after chemical change, but the whole linking group is still only one complete linking group, then the linking group still belongs to the category of "can exist stably". The conditions for degradation are not particularly limited, and can be either in vivo physiological conditions or in vitro simulated physiological environments or other conditions, preferably in vivo physiological conditions and in vitro simulated physiological conditions. The physiological conditions are not particularly limited, including but not limited to serum, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, bone, muscle, fat, brain, lymph node, small intestine, gonad and other parts, which can refer to intracellular or extracellular matrix, and can refer to normal physiological tissues or pathological physiological tissues (such as tumors, inflammations, etc.). The in vitro simulated environments are not particularly limited, including but not limited to physiological saline, buffer solution, culture medium, etc. The rate of degradation is not particularly limited. For example, it can be rapid degradation under the action of enzymes or slow hydrolysis under physiological conditions, etc. The in vivo physiological conditions include physiological conditions during treatment, such as ultraviolet irradiation, hyperthermia, etc. It can be degraded under conditions including but not limited to light, heat, low temperature, enzymes, redox, acidic, alkaline, physiological conditions, in vitro simulated environments, etc., preferably under conditions of light, heat, enzymes, redox, acidic, alkaline, etc. The degradable means degradation occurs under the stimulation of any of the above conditions. The light conditions include but not limited to illumination conditions such as visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared light, near-infrared light, mid-infrared light, etc. The heat conditions refer to temperatures higher than normal physiological temperature, usually temperatures higher than 37 °C, and usually lower than 45 °C, preferably lower than 42 °C. The low temperature conditions refer to temperatures lower than human physiological temperature, preferably lower than 25 °C, more preferably ≤10 °C. Specific examples include refrigeration temperature, freezing temperature, liquid nitrogen treatment temperature, 2-10 °C, 4-8 °C, 4 °C, 0 °C, -20±5 °C, etc. The enzyme conditions are not particularly limited, and all enzymes that can be generated under physiological conditions are included. For example, peptidases, proteases, lyases, etc. The redox conditions are not particularly limited, such as the redox transformation between sulfhydryl and disulfide bond, hydrogenation reduction transformation. The acidic and alkaline conditions mainly refer to the pH conditions of internal parts of the body such as normal tissues, pathological tissues, organs or tissues during treatment, etc. For example, the stomach is in an acidic condition, and the tumor site also tends to be acidic. The degradable here means that it can be degraded through in vivo metabolic actions (such as physiological actions, such as enzymes, such as redox, etc.), degraded due to microenvironment stimulation at specific sites in vivo (such as acidic, alkaline), or degraded under clinical treatment stimulation (such as light, such as heat, such as low temperature), etc. It should be noted that the bond breaking under some extreme conditions in organic chemistry relative to organisms, such as strong acids, strong bases, high temperatures (such as above 100 °C), etc., is not included in the scope of the degradation conditions of the present invention.For another example, although ether bonds can be cleaved under strong acid conditions such as hydrobromic acid, they are always classified as linkers that can stably exist in the present invention.

[0063] In the present invention, "can stably exist" means that the linker can remain as a complete linker (a linker is stably covalently connected to its adjacent groups), and is defined as "can be stable or remain stable". Among them, chemical changes that can maintain the integrity of the linker are allowed. The chemical changes are not particularly limited, including but not limited to isomerization transformation, oxidation, reduction, ionization, protonation, deprotonation, substitution reaction, etc. The conditions for stable existence are not particularly limited, including but not limited to stable existence under conditions such as light, heat, low temperature, enzymes, redox, neutral, acidic, alkaline, physiological conditions, in vitro simulated environment, etc., and preferably stable existence under conditions such as light, heat, enzymes, redox, acidic, alkaline, etc. Stable existence here means that under the condition of no special stimulation (such as the pH condition of a special site, light, heat, low temperature, etc. during treatment), a stable connection can be maintained in the in vivo metabolic cycle, and the molecular weight will not decrease due to chain cleavage (as long as the integrity can still be maintained).

[0064] In the present invention, for the same linker, "can stably exist" is not an absolute concept. For example, an amide bond is much more stable than an ester bond under acidic or alkaline conditions, and the linker of "can stably exist" in the present invention includes an amide bond. However, for example, a peptide bond, an amide bond formed by dehydration condensation of the α-carboxyl group of one molecule of amino acid and the α-amino group of one molecule of amino acid, can be cleaved when acted upon by a specific enzyme, and thus is also included in the "degradable" linker. Similarly, a carbamate group, a thiocarbamate group, etc. can be either a linker that can stably exist or a degradable linker. More generally, carbamate groups, thiocarbamate groups, etc. tend to degrade slowly, while amide bonds other than peptide bonds can stably exist during the in vivo circulation process. Another example is that common ester bonds can be degraded under acidic and basic conditions, and ester bonds contained in special structures can also be degraded under ultraviolet light conditions. Also, for example, even though some chemical bonds can be degraded under the action of specific enzymes, if their circulation path does not pass through or basically does not pass through the specific enzyme environment during clinical use (such as in the case of site-specific drug delivery), the corresponding chemical bonds can still be regarded as stably existing.

[0065] In the present invention, in order to more clearly define the degradable properties of the compound structure, a reference judgment criterion is provided, that is, within a limited time interval, the chemical bond connection is examined with a specific percentage (such as 90%) as the boundary. Taking 90% as an example, usually, the pharmacokinetic curve of the functionalized polyethylene glycol modified product is used as a reference, and the dose percentage meeting the clinical evaluation criteria is used as a benchmark. For example, for PEGylated drugs administered intravenously, when the blood drug concentration (calculated based on the active drug ingredient, including the PEGylated drug and the non-PEGylated component after degradation) is lower than 15% of the initial concentration (or other ratios more in line with the clinical evaluation of the drug), taking the remaining 85% as the base, if the proportion of a linker maintaining the chemical bond connection exceeds 90%, it belongs to the group that can stably exist in the present invention; conversely, if it is lower than 90%, it belongs to the degradable group. The hydrolysis stability, enzyme degradation, etc. reported in the published literature are also included in the present invention. Taking hydrolysis stability as an example, it includes the hydrolysis rate when hydrolysis stability is reported in the published literature, preferably referring to the hydrolysis rate under physiological conditions being lower than 1-2% per day (usually taking 2%), in terms of mass or molar amount. The hydrolysis rate of typical chemical bonds can be referred to in most standard chemical manuals.

[0066] In the present invention, the "hydroxy protecting group" includes all groups that can be used as the protecting group of the usual hydroxyl group. The hydroxy protecting group is preferably an alkanoyl group (such as acetyl group, tert-butylcarbonyl group), an aralkanoyl group (such as benzoyl group), a benzyl group, a trityl group, a trimethylsilyl group, a tert-butyldimethylsilyl group, an allyl group, an acetal group or a ketal group. The removal of the acetyl group is generally carried out under alkaline conditions, and the most commonly used are the ammonolysis of NH3 / MeOH and the methanolysis catalyzed by methoxide anion; the benzyl group can be easily removed by palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis at room temperature in a neutral solution, and it can also be reductively cleaved with metallic sodium in ethanol or liquid ammonia; the trityl group is generally removed by catalytic hydrogenolysis; the trimethylsilyl group is usually removed using a fluoride ion-containing reagent (such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride / anhydrous THF, etc.); the tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether is relatively stable and can withstand the ester hydrolysis conditions of alcoholic potassium hydroxide and mild reduction conditions (such as Zn / CH3OH, etc.), and can be removed with fluoride ions (such as Bu4N + F - ) in a tetrahydrofuran solution, or can be removed with acetic acid containing water at room temperature.

[0067] In the present invention, a "carboxyl protecting group" refers to a protecting group that can be converted into a carboxyl group through hydrolysis or a deprotection reaction of the carboxyl protecting group. The carboxyl protecting group is preferably an alkyl group (such as methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl) or an aralkyl group (such as benzyl), more preferably tert-butyl (tBu), methyl (Me) or ethyl (Et). In the present invention, a "protected carboxyl group" refers to a group formed after the carboxyl group is protected by a suitable carboxyl protecting group, preferably methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl. The carboxyl protecting group can be removed by hydrolysis under the catalysis of an acid or a base, and occasionally can also be removed by a pyrolysis reaction. For example, tert-butyl can be removed under mild acidic conditions, and benzyl can be removed by hydrogenolysis. The reagent for removing the carboxyl protecting group is selected from TFA, H2O, LiOH, NaOH, KOH, MeOH, EtOH and combinations thereof, preferably a combination of TFA and H2O, a combination of LiOH and MeOH, or a combination of LiOH and EtOH. The protected carboxyl group is deprotected to produce the corresponding free acid, and the deprotection is carried out in the presence of a base, and the base and the free acid formed by the deprotection form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

[0068] In the present invention, an "amino protecting group" includes all groups that can be used as a protecting group for a normal amino group, such as aryl C 1-6 alkyl, C 1-6 alkoxy C 1-6 alkyl, C 1-6 alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, C 1-6 alkylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl or silyl, etc. The amino protecting group is preferably Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl), Moz (p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl) and Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl). The reagent for removing the amino protecting group is selected from TFA, H2O, LiOH, MeOH, EtOH and combinations thereof, preferably a combination of TFA and H2O, a combination of LiOH and MeOH, or a combination of LiOH and EtOH. The reagent for removing the Boc protecting group is TFA or HCl / EA; preferably TFA. The deprotecting agent used for the reaction of removing the Fmoc protecting group is a solution of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) containing 20% piperidine.

[0069] In the present invention, "carboxyl activation" refers to the activation treatment of a carboxyl group with a carboxyl activating agent. After the carboxyl group is activated, it can promote the better progress of the condensation reaction, such as inhibiting the generation of racemic impurities in the condensation reaction, catalyzing and accelerating the reaction rate, etc. A "carboxyl activating group" is a residue of a carboxyl activating agent. The carboxyl activating agent is one or a combination of more than one of N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI), N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboximide (HONb), and N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC). Preferably, it is a combination of NHS / EDCI, NHS / DCC, or HONb / DCC, and most preferably a combination of NHS / EDCI.

[0070] In the present invention, a "cation" means that the corresponding structure permanently or non-permanently carries a positive charge in response to certain conditions (such as pH). Therefore, a cation includes both a permanent cation and a cationizable one. A permanent cation means that the corresponding compound, group, or atom carries a positive charge at any pH value or hydrogen ion activity in its environment. Typically, a positive charge is generated due to the presence of a quaternary nitrogen atom. When a compound carries multiple such positive charges, it can be called a permanent cation. A cationizable one means that a compound, group, or atom carries a positive charge at a lower pH and does not carry a charge at a higher pH in its environment. Additionally, in a non-aqueous environment where the pH value cannot be measured, a cationizable compound, group, or atom carries a positive charge at a high hydrogen ion concentration and does not carry a charge at a low hydrogen ion concentration or activity. It depends on the individual properties of the cationizable or polycationizable compound, especially the pKa of the corresponding cationizable group or atom, at which it carries a charge or does not carry a charge at the said pH or hydrogen ion concentration. In a dilute aqueous environment, the so-called Henderson-Hasselbalch equation can be used to estimate the fraction of the cationizable compound, group, or atom carrying a positive charge, which is well-known to those skilled in the art. For example, in some embodiments, if a certain compound or moiety is cationizable, preferably, it carries a positive charge at a pH value of about 1 to 9, preferably 4 to 9, 5 to 8, or even 6 to 8, more preferably at a pH value equal to or lower than 9, equal to or lower than 8, equal to or lower than 7, and most preferably at a physiological pH value (such as about 7.3 to 7.4), i.e., under physiological conditions, especially under the physiological salt conditions of cells in vivo. In other embodiments, preferably, the cationizable compound or moiety is mainly neutral at a physiological pH value (such as about 7.0 - 7.4), but becomes positively charged at a lower pH value. In some embodiments, the preferred range of the pKa of the cationizable compound or moiety is about 5 to about 7.

[0286] In the present invention, the reaction process also involves the "protection" and "deprotection" processes of related groups. To prevent the functional group from affecting the reaction, the functional group is usually protected. And when there are two or more functional groups, only the target functional group is selectively reacted, so other functional groups are protected. The protecting group not only stably protects the target functional group, but also needs to be easily removed as needed. Therefore, in organic synthesis, it is important to deprotect only the protecting group bonded to the specified functional group under appropriate conditions.

[0287] In the present invention, the "carboxyl protecting group" refers to a protecting group that can be converted into a carboxyl group through hydrolysis or a deprotection reaction of the carboxyl protecting group. The carboxyl protecting group is preferably an alkyl group (such as methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl) or an aralkyl group (such as benzyl), more preferably tert-butyl (tBu), methyl (Me) or ethyl (Et).

The carboxyl protecting group can be removed by hydrolysis under the catalysis of an acid or a base, and occasionally can also be removed by a pyrolysis reaction. For example, the tert-butyl group can be removed under mild acidic conditions, and the benzyl group can be removed by hydrogenolysis. The reagent for removing the carboxyl protecting group is selected from TFA, H2O, LiOH, NaOH, KOH, MeOH, EtOH and their combinations, preferably the combination of TFA and H2O, the combination of LiOH and MeOH, or the combination of LiOH and EtOH.

The reagent for removing the amino protecting group is selected from TFA, H2O, LiOH, MeOH, EtOH and their combinations, preferably the combination of TFA and H2O, the combination of LiOH and MeOH, or the combination of LiOH and EtOH. The reagent for removing the Boc protecting group is TFA or HCl / EA; preferably TFA. The deprotecting agent used for the reaction of removing the Fmoc protecting group is a solution of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) containing 20% piperidine.

[0289] In the present invention, the hydroxyl group protected by the hydroxyl protecting group is not particularly limited, and can be, for example, a hydroxyl group such as an alcohol hydroxyl group or a phenolic hydroxyl group. Among them, the amino group of the amino protecting group is not particularly limited, and can come from, for example, a primary amine, a secondary amine, a hydrazine, an amide, etc. In the present invention, the amino group is not particularly limited, including but not limited to a primary amino group, a secondary amino group, a tertiary amino group, and a quaternary ammonium ion.

The dosage of the fluorine-containing reagent is 5 to 20 times the molar equivalent of the hydroxy group to be protected, preferably 8 to 15 times the initiator.

There is no particular limitation on the reaction solvent as long as it can dissolve the reactants and products, and an aprotic solvent is preferred, and tetrahydrofuran and dichloromethane are more preferred.

Among them, the molar equivalent of the aldehyde derivative is 1 to 20 times that of the substrate amine, preferably 1 to 2 times, more preferably 1 to 1.5 times. When the molar equivalent of the aldehyde derivative is greater than 20 times that of the substrate amine, the excess reagent causes trouble in purification, may be mixed into subsequent steps, and increases the purification difficulty. When the molar equivalent of the aldehyde derivative is less than 1 times that of the substrate amine, the reaction is incomplete and the purification difficulty increases. Among them, the reaction product can be purified by means such as cation exchange resin, osmosis, ultrafiltration, etc. to obtain the intermediate. The cation exchange resin has no particular limitation as long as it can exchange with quaternary ammonium cations to achieve a separation effect. The solvents for osmosis and ultrafiltration are not limited. Generally, water or organic solvents can be used. The organic solvents have no particular limitation as long as the product can be dissolved in them. Preferred are dichloromethane, chloroform, etc.

[0317] The reaction solvent is not restricted. Preferred are organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, water, toluene, benzene, xylene, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, dichloromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide, etc.; more preferred are water and methanol.

[0318] The reducing agent has no particular limitation as long as it can reduce the imine to an amine. Preferred are sodium borohydride, lithium aluminum hydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, Zn / AcOH, etc., more preferably sodium cyanoborohydride. Generally, the dosage of the reducing agent is 0.5 to 50 times the amount of the aldehyde derivative substance, more preferably 1 - 10 times.

[0319] 2.3.4. Linear functionalization at the R3 terminus

[0320] The method for linear functionalization at the R3 terminus has no particular limitation and is related to the type of the final functional group or its protected form. It mainly includes the functionalization of the terminal hydroxyl group and the transformation from the reactive group to the target functional group or its protected form.

[0321] The preparation method for the functionalization of terminal hydroxyl groups starts from hydroxyl groups and obtains functional groups of Class A to Class J or their protected forms through functionalization. The specific preparation method is as described in paragraphs

[0960] to

[1205] of Document CN104530417A. The reaction general formula is as follows:

[0322]

[0323] Among them, q and q1 are each independently 0 or 1; Z1 and Z2 are each independently divalent linking groups; R 01 is a functional group capable of reacting with a biologically relevant substance.

[0324] Based on the transformation of reactive groups into the target functional group or its protected form, it can be achieved by any of the following methods:

[0325] Method 1: Direct modification. Based on the direct modification of reactive groups, the target functional group or its protected form is obtained. As an example, the transformation of a carboxyl group into an acyl halide, acyl hydrazide, ester, thioester, dithioester, and the transformation of hydroxyl, mercapto, alkynyl, amino, carboxyl, etc. into their corresponding protected structures, etc. Another example is the modification of hydroxyl, amino, etc. by acid anhydrides.

[0326] Method 2: Coupling reaction between two reactive groups. Using a hetero-functionalized reagent containing one type of reactive group and the target functional group or its protected form as the raw material, through the reaction between one of the reactive groups and the reactive group at the A end, the target functional group or its protected form is introduced. There are no particular restrictions on the reaction mode and method between the two reactive groups. Its reaction conditions are related to the type of divalent linking group generated by the reaction, and existing publicly available technologies can be used. Such as alkylation, alkenyl addition reaction, alkynyl addition reaction, Schiff base reaction combined with reduction reaction, condensation reaction, etc. Among them, the alkylation reaction is preferably an alkylation reaction based on mercapto or amino, corresponding to the formation of a thioether bond, secondary amino or tertiary amino in sequence. Among them, the condensation reaction includes but is not limited to condensation reactions for generating ester groups, thioester groups, amide groups, imine bonds, hydrazone bonds, carbamate groups, etc. Another example is using a hetero-functionalized reagent containing groups such as azide, alkynyl, alkenyl, trithioester group, mercapto, dienyl, furyl, 1,2,4,5-tetrazinyl, cyanate, etc. and the target functional group or its protected form as the raw material, and introducing the target functional group or its protected form through a click reaction. The reaction between the two reactive groups is accompanied by the formation of a new bond. Typical representatives of the newly formed divalent linking group are amide bonds, urethane bonds, ester groups, secondary amine bonds, thioether bonds, triazole groups, etc.

[0327] Method 3: Obtaining the target functional group or its protected form through a combination of direct modification and coupling reaction.

[0328] In the present invention, the raw materials used in each preparation method can be obtained by purchase or self-synthesis.

[0329] In the present invention, the intermediates and end products prepared can be purified by purification methods including but not limited to extraction, recrystallization, adsorption treatment, precipitation, antprecipitation, thin film dialysis or supercritical extraction, etc. For the characterization and confirmation of the structure and molecular weight of the end product, characterization methods including but not limited to nuclear magnetic resonance, electrophoresis, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, FTIR, AFM, GPC, HPLC, MALDI-TOF, ESI-MS, circular dichroism spectrometry, etc. can be used.

[0603] Example 32: Preparation of Lipid Drug Composition (LNP-mRNA Composition) and Testing of Its Physicochemical Properties

[0604] Example 32.1: Preparation of LNP-mRNA Composition

[0605] In this example, multiple groups of LNP-mRNA compositions were prepared for comparison. The cationic lipids in each group were different, but the phospholipids were all DSPC, the sterol lipids were all cholesterol, and the polyethylene glycolated lipids were all PEG2k-DMG. Among them, the cationic lipids in the experimental group series (L-1 to L-28) were the cationic lipids prepared in the examples of this application; another positive control group (L-CT1 and L-CT2) was set: the cationic lipids were MC3 and (prepared according to the method disclosed in CN114206827A); specifically, as shown in Table 1.

[0606] The preparation method of the LNP-mRNA composition is as follows:

[0607] Dissolve the ionizable cationic lipid, DSPC, cholesterol, and polyethylene glycolated lipid in ethanol according to a certain molar ratio (50:10:38:1.5 or 48:9:42:1.5) to obtain an ethanol-phase solution; add Fluc-mRNA to 50 mM citrate buffer (pH = 4) according to an N / P ratio of 6:1 to obtain an aqueous-phase solution; mix the ethanol-phase lipid solution and the mRNA aqueous-phase solution with a volume ratio of 1:3 using a microfluidic device, and wash by ultrafiltration with DPBS multiple times to remove ethanol and free molecules, and finally filter through a 0.2 μm sterile filter to obtain the LNP-mRNA composition. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0608] Example 32.2: Physicochemical property test of LNP-mRNA composition

[0609] Encapsulation efficiency determination: In this example, the Quant-it Ribogreen RNA quantification assay kit was used to determine the encapsulation efficiency of the LNP-mRNA composition. The results showed that the lipid composition of the present invention had a high encapsulation efficiency for nucleic acid drugs (mRNA), all within the range of 80%-95%, and most of the encapsulation efficiencies were within the range of 90%-95%. The results are shown in Table 1 below. The results indicate that the lipid compositions prepared from the cationic lipids of each experimental group can well encapsulate mRNA, showing an encapsulation efficiency equivalent to or better than that of existing cationic lipids, and there are also differences in the encapsulation efficiencies of different cationic lipids, but the differences are not significant.

[0610] Particle size determination: In this example, the particle size of LNP-mRNA was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results are shown in Table 1 below. The measured LNP-mRNA had a high size uniformity, and its PDI was less than 0.3. The particle size of the LNP-mRNA prepared from the lipid composition of this application was within the range of 90-150 nm.

[0612] (1) Study on cytotoxicity (biocompatibility)

[0613] The MTT staining method was used to test the cytotoxicity of the LNP-mRNA composition preparation of the present invention. The LNP-mRNA composition preparation was dissolved in the culture medium to prepare the required concentration. When necessary, an appropriate amount of cosolvent could be added. Hela cells were used as the cell model, and the seeding density was 1×10 4 cells / well. The cell suspension was inoculated into a 96-well plate at 100 μL / well. After inoculation, it was incubated in a cell culture incubator at 37 °C and 4% CO2 for 24 h. Then, the old culture medium was aspirated, and 100 μL of the culture medium containing 3.3 μg / mL of LNP-mRNA (lipid nucleic acid drug composition preparation, prepared in Example 32.1) was added to each well. 100 μL of fresh culture medium was added to the blank control group. Each concentration in each group had 6 replicates. After the LNP-mRNA composition preparation was co-incubated with Hela cells for 24 h, 20 μL of PBS buffer containing 5 mg / mL of MTT was added to each well. After MTT was incubated with Hela cells for 4 h, the mixed solution of the culture medium and MTT buffer was aspirated, and 150 μL / well of DMSO was added to dissolve the purple crystal formazan of living cells. After sufficient oscillation, the absorbance at 490 nm was detected with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. According to the measured absorbance values, the calculation results showed that compared with the blank control group, the cell survival rate of the LNP-mRNA composition prepared with the cationic lipid of the present invention was greater than 95%, indicating that the cationic lipid of the present invention had good biocompatibility and biosafety.

[0617] (2) Serum stability evaluation

[0618] The LNP-mRNA composition was added to the culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and stirred at 37 °C. Samples were taken at regular intervals to measure the particle size change of LNP-mRNA, and the serum stability of the LNP-mRNA composition preparation was analyzed by testing its particle size change. The experimental results showed that within 7 days, the particle size change of both the control group and the experimental group was less than 10%. In particular, the particle size change of the experimental groups L-1, L-2, L-8, L-9, L-10, L-14, and L-15 was less than 5%, indicating that the LNP-mRNA composition preparation prepared with the cationic lipid of the present invention had good serum stability.

[0621] (3) Study on cell transfection activity

[0622] To investigate the mRNA transfection efficiency of each group of LNP-mRNA compositions prepared in Example 31 of the present invention at the cellular level, Luciferase bioluminescence was used for testing. The LNP / Fluc-mRNA composition preparation was dissolved in the culture medium to prepare the required dose. Hela cells were used as the cell model, and the cell suspension was inoculated into a 96-well plate with a black-edge transparent bottom at a seeding density of 6000 cells / well at 100 μL / well. After inoculation, the cells were incubated in a cell culture incubator for 24 h, and then administered at a dose of 0.2 μg mRNA per well. The blank control group was added with the corresponding dose of free Fluc-mRNA. After 24 h of transfection, the old culture medium was removed and replaced with a new culture medium containing the substrate of sodium D-luciferin (1.5 mg / mL). After incubating for 5 minutes, the bioluminescence was detected using a microplate reader. The stronger the fluorescence, the more Fluc-mRNA was transported into the cytoplasm and translated into the corresponding fluorescent protein. The experimental results are shown in Table 2. Among them, the relative fluorescence intensity is the ratio of the fluorescence intensity value of each group to the fluorescence intensity of the blank control group. The results show that the LNP-mRNA compositions prepared by the present invention all have excellent in vitro transfection effects, that is, the LNPs in the experimental groups are all effective delivery vectors. Among them, in the experimental groups L-1 and L-18, the relative fluorescence value of L-1 is higher; in the experimental groups L-8 and L-23, the relative fluorescence value of L-8 is higher. It shows that when the nitrogen-containing heterocycle in the polar head of the cationic lipid is a piperazine ring or a piperidine ring, the cationic lipid containing a piperazine ring has a better transfection effect, probably because the piperazine ring contains two ionizable tertiary amines; the hydrophobic ends of the cationic lipids used in L-1, L-16 and L-18 with relatively high relative fluorescence values are all double-branched. It is preliminarily speculated that the cationic lipids with double-branched hydrophobic ends have better delivery effects.
