Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a 6'-cyano-modified nucleoside, nucleotide, and nucleic acid polymer. Background Technology
[0002] Nucleic acid drugs represent a cutting-edge field in biomedical development and are the third largest drug type after small molecule drugs and protein drugs. Nucleic acid drugs mainly include antisense nucleic acids (ASOs) and small interfering RNA (siRNAs). Compared with traditional small molecule and protein drugs, they offer advantages such as rapid design, broad target coverage, high specificity, intracellular efficacy, and relatively rapid synthesis. They hold significant value in treating many chronic, refractory major diseases and rare diseases that are difficult to treat with protein targets. As of 2022, 15 nucleic acid drugs have been approved globally (10 ASOs and 5 siRNAs), and more than 400 nucleic acid drugs are in clinical trials.
[0003] However, on the one hand, unmodified oligonucleotide drugs generally have unsatisfactory drug-like properties. They possess poor drug-like characteristics, such as poor stability, susceptibility to degradation by nucleases, high polarity, difficulty in cell entry, poor distribution characteristics, and poor binding affinity to target mRNA. To achieve clinical efficacy, oligonucleotides must undergo chemical modification, and all marketed nucleic acid drugs utilize corresponding nucleic acid chemical modifications. On the other hand, chemically modified antisense nucleic acid drugs can cause toxicity to high-exposed organs (liver and kidneys) to some extent. In particular, chemically modified nucleic acid drugs with high affinity locked nucleic acids (LNA) and restricted ethyl locked nucleic acids (cEt-LNA) on the phosphate thioester (PS) backbone may cause hepatotoxicity or nephrotoxicity, including significant increases in liver ALT and AST, or damage such as necrosis, degeneration / regeneration of renal tubules. Therefore, efficient and safe next-generation nucleic acid chemical modification technologies remain a key technology and bottleneck in the development of nucleic acid drugs.
[0004] In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the toxicity mechanisms of antisense nucleic acid drugs (Nucleic Acids Res. 2016, 44, 3892; Nature Biotech., 2017, 35, 230; Nucleic Acids Res. 2018, 46, 2204; Nature Biotech., 2019, 37, 640; Nucleic Acids Res. 2019, 47, 10865; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2020, 142, 14754; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 7456). Studies have shown that...
[0005] The main toxic mechanism of antisense nucleic acid drugs lies in the fact that chemically modified thio-antisense nucleic acid drugs (PS-ASOs) bind to and interfere with the subcellular distribution of intracellular proteins (such as P54nrb), thereby inducing apoptosis and producing toxicity. Simultaneously, toxicity is positively correlated with the ASO-protein binding ability; the stronger the binding force, the greater the potential toxicity. Furthermore, this binding ability is closely related to the water solubility (LogS) of the chemically modified structure; the stronger the hydrophobic interaction, the greater the binding affinity. Experimental results show that 2'-methoxyethyl (2'-MOE) has a 30-fold lower affinity for intracellular proteins than 2'-fluoro (2'-F). Therefore, the interaction between antisense nucleic acids and proteins has become a decisive factor in the efficacy of antisense nucleic acid drugs. Structure determines properties. To develop highly efficient and safe novel chemically modified nucleic acid structures, the inventors previously disclosed a novel cyanolocked nucleic acid (CN-LNA) modified structure (ZL 20190914759.3), which exhibits high nuclease tolerance, as well as good target gene affinity and selectivity. Meanwhile, further chemical property calculations (Chemdraw calculations) showed that CN-LNA has good hydrophilicity, with a LogS value of -0.032, which is approximately 2, 4, and 20 times that of commonly used 2'-methoxyethyl (MOE, LogS value -0.073), locked nucleic acid (LNA, LogS value -0.122), and 2'-fluoro (LogS value -0.661), respectively. It has the potential to reduce the affinity of PS-ASO for binding to intracellular proteins, thereby reducing the impact on intracellular protein distribution, reducing toxicity, and improving therapeutic efficacy.
[0006] However, the previously disclosed CN-LNA synthesis method cannot stereoselectively synthesize the C6'-epomers with both R and S configurations, and it fails to further explain the differences in the drug-like properties of the modified nucleic acids by the C6'-epomers, thus failing to meet the need to establish a new generation of highly efficient and low-toxicity nucleic acid chemical modification technology.

[0300] Experimental content
[0301] Intracellular ASO-protein interactions are closely related to the drug-like properties of PS-ASOs. Differences in chemical modification will significantly affect ASO-protein interactions, thereby affecting the subcellular distribution of binding proteins and inducing apoptosis and toxicity. To investigate the effect of cyanolocked nucleic acid modification on the interaction between ASO and intracellular proteins, the inventors selected the toxic 3-10-3 gapmer PS ASO sequence 449093 (5'- TTC AGTCATGACT TCC-3' (SEQ ID NO. 1) was used as a template sequence (Nature Biotech., 2019, 37, 640) for investigation. The corresponding T and... m C, ON1 and ON2 were synthesized by introducing phosphoramidite into 449093 via a solid-phase phosphoramide method, with LNA-modified 449093 (ON3) as a control. Mass spectrometry identification data are shown in Table 1, and the corresponding mass spectra are shown in [Table 1]. Figures 1-3 .
[0302] First, the hybridization properties of ON1-3 with the target RNA were determined, and their Tm values were 67.04℃, 63.96℃, and 66.59℃, respectively. This indicates that compared with LNA-modified PS ASO ON3, CN-LNA-modified PS-ASOs ON1-2 can still maintain good affinity with the target RNA.
[0303] Secondly, using the intracellular parafocal protein P54nrb as a model protein, the effect of cyanolocked nucleic acid modification on the interaction between ASO and intracellular proteins was investigated. Parafocal protein P54nrb can bind to toxic ASO (with binding affinity at low nmol levels), altering its distribution and causing it to aggregate in the nucleolus. This effect is significant and positively correlated with ASO toxicity. Experimental results are expressed as the aggregation of parafocal protein P54nrb in the nucleolus.
[0304] Cells were transfected with ON1, ON2, and ON3 at transfection times of 5 min, 2 h, and 4 h, respectively. Finally, the protein localization of P54nrb was observed and photographed under an inverted fluorescence microscope. Figure 4(Scale bar in figure: 10μm) As shown, the results showed that: (1) At 5 min, the distribution of P54nrb in the cell nucleus was the same as that of the blank control. The nucleolus was clear and P54nrb was evenly distributed in the cell nucleus. Neither LNA nor CN-LNA modified ASO changed the distribution of P54nrb, and no aggregation was observed in the nucleolus; (2) For the LNA group, when the time was extended to 2 h and 4 h respectively, the LNA group showed significant P54nrb aggregation. The longer the incubation time, the more P54nrb aggregated in the nucleolus, indicating that LNA modified ASO has a strong affinity for intracellular proteins and easily interferes with the normal distribution and function of intracellular proteins, producing toxic side effects. (3) From the R-CN-LNA group, no obvious P54nrb protein aggregation was observed in the nucleolus at 2h, and the red fluorescence was evenly distributed in the cell nucleus. However, at 4h, some cells showed obvious P54nrb aggregation, but obviously, the degree of aggregation was significantly lower than that of the LNA group at the corresponding time point. (4) Regardless of 2h or 4h, no visible changes in the distribution of P54nrb were observed at any time point in the S-CN-LNA group. P54nrb was still evenly distributed in the cytoplasm.

[0307] Based on current immunofluorescence experiments, to further quantify the effects of LNA, R-CN-LNA, and S-CN-LNA modifications on the distribution of P54nrb in the cell nucleus, we statistically analyzed the percentage of cells with significant P54nrb aggregation in the nucleolus at 10 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h in each of the LNA, R-CN-LNA, and S-CN-LNA groups. As shown in Table 2, in the LNA group, the number of cells with significant P54nrb aggregation in the nucleolus increased with transfection time. At 4 h after LNA transfection, approximately 92% of transfected cells showed significant P54nrb aggregation in the nucleolus. In the R-CN-LNA group, only 5% of cells after ASO transfection showed significant P54nrb aggregation in the nucleolus at 2 h, and only about 8% at 4 h. For the S-CN-LNA group, there was no significant P54nrb aggregation, with a cell proportion of 0%. The above results indicate that, compared to LNA modification, CN-LNA modification can indeed reduce the impact of ASO on intracellular proteins, and the S conformation has less impact than the R conformation.

[0311] Based on the above evaluation of the effects on the subcellular distribution of intracellular proteins, the effect of CN-LNA modification on the toxicity of induced apoptosis was further investigated by detecting Caspase 3 / 7 activity in HeLa cells.
[0312] Cells were transfected with ON1, ON2, and ON3 at concentrations of 500 nM, 250 nM, 125 nM, 62.5 nM, 31.25 nM, and 0 nM, respectively. After 4 h of transfection, cells were incubated for another 8 h, and Caspase 3 / 7 activity was detected using a fluorescent microplate reader. Figure 5 As shown, the experimental results indicate that: (1) at low concentrations (0-62.5 nM), no significant changes in caspase activity were observed in any of the three groups; (2) in the LNA-modified group, caspase activity increased rapidly with increasing concentration starting from 125 nM, while in the two CN-LNA-modified groups, caspase activity only increased slowly starting from 250 nM, and the S configuration was lower than the R configuration; (3) at high concentrations of 250 nM and 500 nM, compared to LNA modification, both R-CN-LNA and S-CN-LNA modifications reduced the increase in caspase activity by more than 2 times, and the S configuration was superior to the R configuration. These results indicate that, compared to LNA modification, R / S-CN-LNA modification can significantly reduce PS ASO-induced apoptosis toxicity, consistent with the results of immunofluorescence experiments.
[0313] In summary, the introduction of cyano groups into LNA can reduce the lipophilicity of LNA and improve the water solubility of the modified structure. Cyano-locked nucleic acid modification can significantly reduce the impact of PS ASO on intracellular proteins and induce apoptosis toxicity, thereby improving the therapeutic effect of PS ASO. It has significant application value for nucleic acid drugs and can provide next-generation chemical modification technology support for nucleic acid drugs.
[0314] Experiment 2: Nuclease Tolerance Test of S-CN-LNA-T
[0315] Stability to nucleases is one of the important parameters of nucleotide chemical modification. This experiment used snake venom phosphodiesterase (SVPDE) to investigate the stability of S-CN-LNA-T modified oligonucleotides (5'-TTTTTTTT). T T-3'(SEQ ID NO.2), TThe nuclease tolerance of the (S-6'-CN-LNA)ON4 sequence was investigated and compared with that of R-CN-LNA (ON5), LNA (ON6), thio-modified (ON7), and native (ON8) sequences. Under physiological conditions of 37℃ and a buffer system of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, and pH 8.0, the corresponding nucleic acid sequence (7 nM) was digested using SVPDE (1.0 μg / mL). The incubation solution was collected at different time points (0, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 min), and quantification was performed by HPLC to obtain the corresponding content-time curves. Nuclease tolerance test results ( Figure 7 The figure shows that under 1.0 μg / mL LSVPE, the R-6'-CN-LNA modified sequence ON7 (rectangular), R-CN-LNA modified sequence ON5 (rhomboid), LNA modified sequence ON6 (triangular), 3′-thio-T (Ts, cross) modified sequence ON7, and natural-T (star) modified sequence ON8 (star) modified sequence ON7) degraded slowly, with more than 40% remaining undegraded after 40 min. The S-6'-CN-LNA modified sequence ON8 had more than 50% remaining undegraded, while the LNA modified sequence had less than 10% remaining. This indicates that 6'-CN-LNA can significantly improve the tolerance of oligonucleotides to nucleases, which is significantly better than LNA, and the S conformation is better than the R conformation.
[0316] Clearly, despite the relatively small size of the cyano group, it can still enhance the stability of LNA to nucleases, consistent with the results of other C6'-modified LNAs. Notably, the literature reports that both R and S-configurations of cEt-LNA exhibit similar nuclease tolerance, while for CN-LNA, the S-configuration shows better nuclease tolerance than the R-configuration. Considering the cyano group on the S-configuration faces the phosphate ester, this seems to indicate that CN has a more complex effect on the phosphate ester. If so, this will have a greater impact on the protein-protein interaction of CN-LNA-modified ASO, beyond just electrostatic interactions.
