Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of drug delivery, and specifically relates to a pharmaceutical carrier cationic lipid, and in particular to a cationic lipid with a side chain containing a functional group, as well as a lipid composition comprising the cationic lipid, a lipid pharmaceutical composition, and preparations and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Liposomes are widely used to deliver nucleic acid drugs, gene vaccines, anti-tumor drugs, small molecule drugs, peptide drugs, or protein drugs. With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) urgently approving two messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines for the prevention of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in response to COVID-19, mRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) 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 PEGylated lipids. Cationic lipids interact with negatively charged mRNA through electrostatics. Neutral co-lipids, typically phospholipids, prevent lipid oxidation, attach ligands to the liposome surface, or reduce lipid particle aggregation. Sterol lipids have strong membrane fusogenicity, promoting mRNA intracellular uptake and cytosolic entry. PEGylated lipids, located on the surface of lipid nanoparticles, improve their hydrophilicity, prevent rapid clearance by the immune system, prevent particle aggregation, and increase stability. Among the four lipids used to prepare LNP, the most critical one is the ionizable cationic lipid, which is not ionized or weakly ionized under physiological conditions and is basically electrically neutral, avoiding excessive interference with biological membranes in the systemic circulation, thereby reducing toxicity. After being taken up by cells, it can ionize under the acidic conditions of the endosomal cavity and carry partial positive charge, increasing membrane permeability. At the same time, the liposomes are degraded or reorganized, promoting the escape of mRNA from the endosome and releasing the mRNA into the cytoplasm for further translation, thereby completing the delivery and transfection of the mRNA molecules.

[0003] Many LNP drug formulations have been approved for marketing and are used in medical fields such as anticancer, antifungal, analgesia, and vaccines. Traditional LNP delivery systems have significant limitations, such as short blood circulation time, poor in vivo stability, poor drug complexation ability, low efficacy, and low transfection efficiency for nucleic acid drugs. Therefore, whether to introduce functional groups into the polar head of the cationic lipid, how to introduce functional groups, and whether the cationic lipid works synergistically with other lipids are important entry points for solving these problems, especially with respect to nanoparticle stability and nucleic acid drug transfection efficiency.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a new cationic lipid and its derivatives. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides novel cationic lipids, as well as lipid compositions, lipid pharmaceutical compositions, and formulations thereof comprising the cationic lipids, for use in the field of drug delivery. The cationic lipids of the present invention have a cationizable nitrogen-branched polar head, particularly a side chain containing a functional group. The lipid compositions prepared using the cationic lipids of the present invention have a high nucleic acid drug complexing capacity and good in vivo stability, enabling nucleic acid drugs to fully exert their efficacy without causing significant cytotoxicity, thereby improving immune or therapeutic effects.

[0006] The above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0029] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, each term has the following meaning.

[0030] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the “selected from” / “preferred” of any two objects are independent of each other. When there are multiple levels of selected from / preferred, the selected from / preferred of any two objects can be of the same level or different levels. For example, “L A , L B Each independently selected from A, B, C", can be L A , L B All are A, can also be L A L for A B is B1 (B1 is a subordinate of B). For example, “L A Preferably A (level 1 is preferred), more preferably A1 to A3 (level 2 is preferred), and most preferably A 11 ~A 13 (Level 3 preferred), L B Preferably B (level 1 is preferred), more preferably B1 to B3 (level 2 is preferred), and most preferably B 11 ~B 13 (3-level preference)", the preference can be A1 to A3 (2-level preference) and B is B 11 ~B 13 (Level 3 preference), or both A and B can be Level 3 preference.

[0031] In the present invention, "each independently is / is selected from / is preferably" not only means that different categories can each independently be / are selected from / are preferably any option in the definition, but also can be added with "each time it appears" to mean that the same category appears at different positions or at different times each time and is independently / is selected from / is preferably any option in the definition, for example, "the divalent linking group is -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 -、-NR c C(=O)S-、-C(R c )=N-NR c -or-NR c -N=C(R c )-; where R c Each occurrence is independently a hydrogen atom or a C 1-12 Alkyl" This description indicates that in "-NR c -N=C(R c )-”, two R c The groups may be the same or different (e.g., one R c is a methyl group, and another R c is a hydrogen atom or an ethyl group), and "-NR c C(=O)NR c -" c Can be used with "-NR c R in "C(=O)O-" c Same or different.

[0032] In the present invention, when at least two items are listed, the "combination" of the listed items refers to a combination of any two or more of the aforementioned listed items; and there is no limitation on the number of items, the number of any item can be one or more than one, and when the number of the same item is greater than 1, it can be the same or different specific forms that satisfy the item. For example, "L is a linking bond or any one or a combination of more than one selected from a hydrocarbylene group, a divalent hydrocarbon group containing heteroatoms, -O-, -S-, -SS-, -C(=O)-, -C(=O)O-, -OC(=O)-, -OC(=O)O-, and -NH-", L can be any one of the listed items, or a combination of any two or more of them. The combination can be -CH2-O-CH2- (i.e., a combination of -O- and a hydrocarbylene group in the listed items, wherein the specific form of the hydrocarbylene group is 2 methylene groups), or -CH2-NH-CH2CH2- (i.e., a combination of -NH- and a hydrocarbylene group in the listed items, wherein the specific form of the hydrocarbylene group is 1 methylene group and 1 ethylene group). In particular, the combination of a linking bond and any linking group is still the linking group itself, and the "linking group" in the present invention defaults to containing at least one atom.

[0033] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the terms "include", "comprising", "containing" and similar expressions should be interpreted in an open and inclusive sense as "including but not limited to" or "including without limitation" in this specification and claims.

[0034] In the present invention, "including but not limited to" a certain range means that the items within the range are optional, but are not limited to the items within the range, and not all structures within the range are applicable. In particular, the items explicitly excluded by the present invention are not among the candidates, and the successful implementation of the present invention is the screening criterion.

[0035] In the present invention, the interpretation of numerical intervals includes numerical intervals marked with a dash (such as 1-6), numerical intervals marked with a wavy line (such as 1 to 6), and numerical intervals marked with "to / to" (such as 1 to 6, 1 to 6). Unless otherwise specified, intervals marked in the form of intervals can represent a group consisting of all integers and non-integers within the interval range, and the range includes two endpoints. For example, the average number of EO units is selected from 22 to 100, and its selection range is not limited to integers within the interval, but can also be any non-integer. For another example, "an integer in 1-3" represents a group consisting of 1, 2, and 3. For another example, -(CH2) 1-4 - represents a group consisting of -CH2-, -(CH2)2-, -(CH2)3-, and -(CH2)4-. For example, express The group composed of.

[0036] The numerical ranges in the present invention include, but are not limited to, numerical ranges expressed as integers, non-integers, percentages, and fractions, and unless otherwise specified, all include both endpoints.

[0037] In the present invention, with respect to polymer molecular weight, "about" or "approximately" generally refers to a numerical range of ±10%, which may be expanded to ±15% in some cases, but not exceeding ±20%. The predetermined value is used as the base number. For example, the deviations between 11 kDa, 12 kDa, and 10 kDa are 10% and 20%, respectively. "About 10 kDa" includes, but is not limited to, 11 kDa and 12 kDa. For another example, when a PEG component in a general formula is specified as having a molecular weight of approximately 5 kDa, the corresponding molecular weight or number average molecular weight is permitted to vary within the range of 5 kDa ± 10%, i.e., 4500 to 5500 Da.

[0038] In the present invention, for percentages, when the numerical value given (excluding the percentage sign) is accurate to the Nth decimal place, "about" or "approximately" generally means ±(0.5*0.1 N )% range. For example, about 1% refers to 1±(0.5*0.10)%, that is, the range of 0.5%-1.5%, and about 2.2% refers to 2.2±(0.5*0.1 1 )% is the range of 2.15%-2.25%, and about 2.33% refers to 2.2±(0.5*0.1 2 )% which is the range of 2.335%-2.325%.

[0039] In the present invention, the degree of polymerization of polyethylene glycol chain is expressed as n i Indicates (i is a natural number selected from 1, 2, 3, ...), n with the same value in the same structure i They can be expressed interchangeably. For example, when n2≈n3, n2 can be expressed as n3, or n3 can be expressed as n2.

[0040] The divalent linking group in the present invention, unless otherwise specified, may select either of the two connecting ends when connecting to other groups. For example, when an amide bond is used as the divalent linking group between Group A and Group B, and no specific connecting end is specified, it may be GroupA-C(=O)NH-GroupB or GroupA-NHC(=O)-GroupB.

[0041] In the present invention, when referring to the structure of a group, To mark the connection key, such as represents a group -G or G-, It represents a group -CH3 or CH3-.

[0042] In the present invention, when a connecting bond or group derived from a cyclic structure is not marked on a specific ring-forming atom but points to the interior of the ring, it means that the connecting bond can be derived from any suitable ring-forming atom, and when the marked ring is part of a parallel ring or condensed ring structure, the connecting bond can be derived from any suitable ring-forming atom in the parallel ring or condensed ring structure. Represents a structure containing any reasonable chemical connection method (including but not limited to etc.)

[0043] In the present invention, the range of carbon atoms in a group is marked in the subscript position of C in the form of a subscript, which indicates the number of carbon atoms in the group. Unless otherwise specified, the carbon number does not include the contribution of substituents. For example, C 1-12 means "having 1 to 12 carbon atoms". For example, C 1-10 Alkylene refers to any alkylene group with the number of carbon atoms in the range indicated by the subscript, i.e. C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C 10 Any of the alkylene groups, including but not limited to linear C 1-10 Alkylene (e.g. -(CH2)6-) and branched C 1-10 Alkylene (e.g. -(CH2)3-CH(CH3)-(CH2)3-). Another example is "substituted C 1-12 "Alkyl" refers to C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C 10 、C 11 or C 12 An alkyl group is obtained by replacing at least one hydrogen atom of the alkyl group with a substituent. The number of carbon atoms and heteroatoms in the substituent is not particularly limited.

[0044] In the present invention, when a structure has isomers, unless otherwise specified, any of the isomers may be present. For example, a structure having cis-trans isomers may be either the cis structure or the trans structure; a structure having E / Z isomers may be either the E structure or the Z structure; and a structure having optical activity may be either levorotatory or dextrorotatory.

[0045] In the present invention, if there is a difference between a structure described herein and the name of the structure, the described structure shall have greater weight.

[0046] In the present invention, the molecular weight of polyethylene glycol and its derivatives refers to the average molecular weight by default, and unless otherwise specified, the "average molecular weight" generally refers to the number-average molecular weight (M n). The number average molecular weight can refer to either the molecular weight of a polydisperse block or substance or the molecular weight of a monodisperse block or substance. Unless otherwise specified, molecular weight is expressed in Daltons (Da). The molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol chain can also be characterized by the "degree of polymerization," specifically the number of repeating units (ethylene oxide units). Accordingly, the "average degree of polymerization" or "number average degree of polymerization" is preferably used to characterize the average or number average of the number of repeating units.

[0047] In the present invention, the term "any suitable" in "any suitable linking group," "any suitable reactive group," etc., refers to a structure that conforms to the basic principles of chemical structure and enables the preparation method of the present invention to be successfully implemented. Chemical structures described in this manner can be considered to have a clear and defined scope.

[0048] In the present invention, the terms "stable existence" and "degradable" are relative concepts.

[0049] In the present invention, "degradable" refers to the breaking of the chemical bond of the invention, and the breaking is at least two residues that are independent of each other. If the structure is changed after chemical change, but the entire linker is still only a complete linker, then the linker still falls into the category of "can exist stably". The conditions for degradation are not particularly limited, and can be physiological conditions in vivo, or simulated physiological environments or other conditions in vitro, preferably physiological conditions in vivo and simulated physiological conditions in vitro. The physiological conditions are not particularly limited, and include but are not limited to serum, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, bones, muscles, fat, brain, lymph nodes, small intestine, gonads and other parts. They can refer to cells or extracellular matrix, and can refer to normal physiological tissues or pathological physiological tissues (such as tumors, inflammation, etc.). The simulated in vitro environment is not particularly limited, and includes but is not limited to physiological saline, buffer, culture medium, etc. The speed of degradation is not particularly limited, for example, it can be rapid degradation under the action of enzymes, or it can refer to slow hydrolysis under physiological conditions, etc. The physiological conditions in vivo include physiological conditions during treatment, such as ultraviolet irradiation, heat therapy, etc. Degradation includes, but is not limited to, degradation under conditions such as light, heat, low temperature, enzymes, redox, acidic, alkaline, physiological conditions, and simulated in vitro environments, preferably under light, heat, enzymes, redox, acidic, and alkaline conditions. Degradation refers to degradation occurring under any of the aforementioned conditions. Light conditions include, but are not limited to, visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared light, near-infrared light, and mid-infrared light. Thermal conditions refer to temperatures above normal physiological temperatures, typically above 37°C and typically below 45°C, preferably below 42°C. Low temperature conditions refer to temperatures below human physiological temperature, preferably below 25°C, more preferably ≤10°C, including refrigeration temperatures, freezing temperatures, liquid nitrogen treatment temperatures, 2-10°C, 4-8°C, 4°C, 0°C, and -20±5°C. Enzymatic conditions are not particularly limited and encompass all enzymes that can be produced under physiological conditions, such as peptidases, proteases, and lyases. Redox conditions are not particularly limited, such as redox transitions and hydrogenoreduction transitions between sulfhydryl groups and disulfide bonds. The acidic and alkaline conditions mainly refer to the pH conditions of normal tissues, diseased tissues, organs or tissues in the treatment period, etc., for example, the stomach is acidic, and the tumor site is often acidic. Degradable here means that it can be degraded by metabolic effects in the body (such as physiological effects, such as enzymes, such as redox, etc.), degraded due to microenvironmental stimulation in specific parts of the body (such as acidity, alkalinity), or degraded under clinical treatment stimulation (such as light, heat, low temperature), etc. It should be noted that some extreme conditions in organic chemistry relative to organisms, such as bond breakage under strong acid, strong base, high temperature (such as above 100°C), are not included in the scope of the degradable conditions of the present invention. For example, although the ether bond can be broken under strong acid conditions such as hydrobromic acid, it is always classified as a linking group that can exist stably in the present invention.

[0050] In the present invention, "can stably exist" means that the linking group can remain as a complete linking group (a linking group is stably covalently connected to its adjacent group), which is defined as "can stably exist", wherein chemical changes that can maintain the integrity of the linking group are allowed to occur. The chemical changes are not particularly limited, and include but are not limited to isomerization, oxidation, reduction, ionization, protonation, deprotonation, substitution reactions, etc. There are no special restrictions on the conditions for stable existence, including but not limited to light, heat, low temperature, enzymes, redox, neutral, acidic, alkaline, physiological conditions, in vitro simulated environments, etc., preferably under light, heat, enzymes, redox, acidic, alkaline and other conditions. Stable existence here means that under the conditions of no special stimulation (such as pH conditions of special parts, light, heat, low temperature during treatment, etc.), a stable connection can be maintained in the metabolic cycle in the body, and the molecular weight will not be reduced due to chain scission (as long as the integrity can still be maintained).

[0051] In the present invention, "stable" is not an absolute term for a given linker. For example, an amide bond is much more stable than an ester bond under acidic or alkaline conditions, and thus "stable" linkers in the present invention include amide bonds. However, peptide bonds, for example, formed by the dehydration condensation of the α-carboxyl group of an amino acid and the α-amino group of an amino acid, can be cleaved when exposed to specific enzymes and are therefore also included in "degradable" linkers. Similarly, carbamate and thiocarbamate groups can be both stable and degradable linkers. More generally, carbamate and thiocarbamate groups are more prone to slow degradation, while non-peptide amide bonds can be stable during in vivo circulation. For example, while common ester bonds can degrade under acidic and alkaline conditions, ester bonds contained in specialized structures can also degrade under ultraviolet light. For example, even if certain chemical bonds can be degraded under the action of specific enzymes, if the circulation pathway does not pass through or basically does not pass through the specific enzyme environment during clinical use (such as in the case of targeted drug administration), the corresponding chemical bonds can still be considered to be stable.

[0052] In the present invention, all compounds of the general formula should be understood to include salts of the compounds of the general formula. The term "salt" used is selected from any one, any two, or any combination of two or more of acid addition salts formed with inorganic and / or organic acids and base addition salts formed with inorganic and / or organic bases. When the compound of the general formula contains a basic moiety (such as, but not limited to, pyridine or imidazole) and an acidic moiety (such as, but not limited to, carboxylic acid), zwitterions ("inner salts") can be formed and are included in the term "salt". "Salt" can be a pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salt or other salt. Salts of the compounds of the general formula can be formed by reacting the compound of the general formula with a certain amount (such as an equivalent amount) of an acid or base in a medium such as a salt precipitate or in an aqueous medium and then lyophilizing. Exemplary acid addition salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, citrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, sulfonates, nicotinates, nitrates, oxalates, pectinates, persulfates, 3-phenylpropionates, phosphates, picrates, pivalates, propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates, sulfonates, tartrates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates, undecanoates, and the like; exemplary base addition salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts (such as sodium, lithium, and potassium salts), alkaline earth metal salts (such as calcium and magnesium salts), salts with organic bases (e.g., organic amines), and salts with amino acids (such as arginine or lysine). Basic nitrogen-containing groups can be quaternized with reagents such as lower alkyl halides (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides), dialkyl sulfates (e.g., dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, and diamyl sulfates), long chain halides (e.g., decyl, lauryl, tetradecyl, and stearyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides), aryl alkyl halides (e.g., benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others. Both the acid addition salts and the base addition salts are preferably pharmaceutically acceptable salts and, for purposes of this disclosure, are considered equivalent to the free forms of the corresponding compounds of the general formula.

[0053] The heteroatoms in the present invention are not particularly limited, and include but are not limited to O, S, N, P, Si, F, Cl, Br, I, B, etc.

[0054] In the present invention, a group formed by losing some atoms or groups from a compound is also referred to as a residue.

[0055] In the present invention, groups with a valence greater than or equal to 2 are collectively referred to as "linking groups." Linking groups may contain only one atom, such as an ether group (-O-) or a sulfide group (-S-). In particular, when the definition of a group includes "linking bond," it indicates that the group may not contain any atoms and serves solely as a linker.

[0056] In the present invention, with respect to the valence of a group, "multivalent" means a valence of at least 3.

[0057] In the present invention, the word "group" in a divalent linking group can be replaced with "bond" without changing its meaning. For example, a divalent ether group can also be referred to as an ether bond (-O-), a divalent ester group can also be referred to as an ester bond (-OC(=O)- or -C(=O)O-), and a divalent carbamate group can also be referred to as a carbamate bond (-OC(=O)NH- or -NHC(=O)O-).

[0058] In the present invention, when the number of atoms contained in a substituent is 1, it may also be referred to as a "substituent atom".

[0059] In the present invention, when the compound or group is "substituted", it means that the compound or group contains one or more substituents.

[0060] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "amino" and "amine" have the same meaning and include monovalent, divalent, trivalent, or tetravalent neutral groups or cationic groups, substituted or unsubstituted. For example, the -NH2 in CH3-NH2 can be referred to as an "amino group," "amine group," or "primary amino group." For another example, the -NH- in CH3-NH-CH3 can be referred to as a "secondary amino group" or "secondary amino group," and the -NH-CH3 therein can also be understood as an amino group substituted with a methyl group.

[0061] In the present invention, "amine group" includes but is not limited to primary amine group, secondary amine group, tertiary amine group and quaternary ammonium ion. For example, -NR t R t and -N + R t R t R t , where each R t Each is independently a hydrogen atom or any hydrocarbon structure.

[0062] In the present invention, when the valence state is not specified, the "hydrocarbon group" can be a monovalent hydrocarbon group, a divalent hydrocarbon group, a trivalent hydrocarbon group, ..., an n-valent hydrocarbon group, wherein n is the highest valence state that the hydrocarbon group can have.

[0063] In the present invention, a "hydrocarbylene group" is a divalent hydrocarbon group.

[0064] The secondary amine bond and hydrazine bond in the present invention refer to "-NH-" or "-NH-NH-" with both ends capped by hydrocarbon groups, such as -CH2-NH-CH2- and -CH2-NH-NH-CH2-; while -C(=O)-NH- is called an amide bond and is not considered to contain a secondary amine bond.

Chemically modified products that form new reactive groups, that is, modified products generated by modifying reactive groups to change their type, or by introducing additional functional groups, reactive groups, amino acids or amino acid derivatives, polypeptides, etc., all belong to chemically modified substances of bio-related substances. Before or after being combined with the functionalized polyethylene glycol, the bio-related substance is allowed to have a target molecule, appendage or delivery carrier combined with it to form a modified bio-related substance or a composite bio-related substance. Among them, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt can be an inorganic salt such as hydrochloride, sulfate, phosphate, or an organic salt such as oxalate, malate, citrate, etc. Among them, the "drug" in the present invention includes any agent, compound, composition or mixture that provides a physiological or pharmacological effect in vivo or in vitro, and often provides a beneficial effect. There is no special limitation on its type, including but not limited to drugs, vaccines, antibodies, vitamins, foods, food additives, nutrients, nutritional supplements and other agents that provide beneficial effects. There is no special limitation on the scope of the physiological or pharmacological effect produced by the "drug" in the body, and it can be a systemic effect or only produce an effect locally.The activity of the "drug" is not particularly limited. It primarily refers to active substances that interact with other substances, but can also be inert substances that do not interact. However, inert drugs can be converted into active forms through in vivo effects or certain stimuli. "Small molecule drugs" are biologically relevant substances with a molecular weight of no more than 1000 Da, or small molecule mimics or active fragments of any biologically relevant substance.

[0069] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "monosaccharide group" refers to a monosaccharide residue, that is, a monosaccharide backbone, including open-chain monosaccharides and cyclic monosaccharides (such as furanose rings and pyranose rings).

[0070] The monosaccharide group in the present invention can be selected from the residue of any one of the compounds including but not limited to monosaccharides, sugar alcohols, deoxy sugars, amino sugars, amino sugar derivatives (such as amide derivatives), sugar acids, and glycosides, and can be an open-chain structure or a cyclic structure.

[0071] "Minor modification" in the present invention refers to a chemical modification process that can be completed through a simple chemical reaction process. The simple chemical reaction process mainly includes chemical reaction processes such as protection, deprotection, salt complexation, decomplexation, ionization, protonation, deprotonation, or changing the leaving group.

[0072] In the present invention, "minor changes" correspond to "minor modifications" and refer to structures that can form the target reactive group after undergoing simple chemical reactions such as protection, deprotection, salt complexation, decomplexation, ionization, protonation, deprotonation, or leaving group modification. Modification of the leaving group, i.e., the conversion of the leaving group, includes, but is not limited to, the conversion of an ester form to an acyl chloride form.

[0073] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the reaction process also involves the "protection" and "deprotection" of related groups. To prevent a reactive group from affecting the reaction, the reactive group is typically protected. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, when there are two or more reactive groups, only the target reactive group is selectively reacted, and therefore the other reactive groups are protected. Protecting groups not only remain stable during the target reaction, but can also be removed as needed using conventional techniques in the art.

[0074] In this invention, "protection" of a reactive group refers to a strategy for reversibly converting the protected reactive group into an inert (non-reactive) group using specific reagents. The portion of a protected group that distinguishes it from the unprotected form is called a "protecting group." For example, -OTBS is a protected form of a hydroxyl group (-OH), where TBS is a protecting group for the hydroxyl group.

[0075] In the present invention, "deprotection" and "deprotection" have the same meaning, and both refer to the process of converting a protected group from a protected form to an unprotected form.

[0076] In the present invention, "hydroxy protecting group" includes all groups that can be used as a protecting group for a common hydroxyl group. The hydroxy protecting group is preferably an alkanoyl group (such as acetyl, tert-butyryl), an aralkanoyl group (such as benzoyl), 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 methods are aminolysis with NH3 / MeOH and methanolysis catalyzed by methanol anion; the benzyl group can be easily removed by palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis in a neutral solution at room temperature, and can also be reduced and cleaved by metal sodium in ethanol or liquid ammonia; the trityl group is generally removed by catalytic hydrogenolysis; the trimethylsilyl group is usually removed using a reagent containing fluoride ions (such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride / anhydrous THF, etc.); tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether is relatively stable and can withstand the ester hydrolysis conditions of alcoholic potassium hydroxide and mild reducing conditions (such as Zn / CH3OH, etc.), and can be removed by fluoride ions (such as Bu4N + F - ) is removed in tetrahydrofuran solution or with aqueous acetic acid at room temperature. The diol is preferably protected by forming dioxolane, dioxane, cyclic carbonate or cyclic borate.

[0077] In the present invention, "sulfhydryl protecting group" includes all groups that can be used as a conventional sulfhydryl protecting group. Similar to hydroxyl, sulfhydryl can be protected in the form of thioether and thioester. The sulfhydryl protecting group is preferably tert-butyl, benzyl, substituted benzyl, diphenylmethyl, substituted diphenylmethyl, triphenylmethyl, acetyl, benzoyl, tert-butyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, thioacetal or thioketal. The deprotection of thioether can be carried out by reducing with Na / NH3 under acid catalysis or by using heavy metal ions such as Ag. + 、Hg + The reaction is then treated with hydrogen sulfide. Some groups, including S-diphenylmethyl, S-triphenylmethyl sulfide, S-2-tetrahydropyranyl, and S-isobutoxymethyl hemimercaptoacetals, can be oxidized to disulfides using (SCN)2, iodine, or thionyl chloride, followed by reduction to thiols. Thioester formation and deprotection methods are similar to those for carboxylates.

[0078] In the present invention, "carboxyl protecting group" refers to a protecting group that can be converted into a carboxyl group by the deprotection reaction of hydrolysis or carboxyl protecting group. Carboxyl protecting group is preferably an alkyl group (such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, a tert-butyl group) or an aralkyl group (such as a benzyl group), more preferably a tert-butyl group (tBu), a methyl group (Me) or an ethyl group (Et). In the present invention, "protected carboxyl" refers to a group formed after a carboxyl group is protected by a suitable carboxyl protecting group, preferably a methoxycarbonyl group, an ethoxycarbonyl group, a tert-butyloxycarbonyl group or a benzyloxycarbonyl group. The carboxyl protecting group can be removed by hydrolysis under the catalysis of an acid or base, and can be eliminated by thermal decomposition reaction occasionally. 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 a combination 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. The deprotection is carried out in the presence of a base. The base and the free acid formed by the deprotection form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

[0079] In the present invention, "amino protecting group" is equivalent to "amine protecting group" and includes all groups that can be used as conventional amino / amine protecting groups, 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-butyloxycarbonyl), Moz (p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl), and Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethyleneoxycarbonyl).

The reagent for removing the Boc protection is TFA or HCl / EA; TFA is preferred. The deprotecting agent used for removing the Fmoc protection is a solution of 20% piperidine in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).

[0080] In the present invention, "alkynyl protecting group" includes all groups commonly used as alkynyl protecting groups, preferably trimethylsilyl (TMS), triethylsilyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS), or biphenyldimethylsilyl. TMS-protected alkynyl groups are easily deprotected under alkaline conditions, such as KCO / MeOH or KOH / MeOH. TBS-protected alkynyl groups can be deprotected in tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran (TBAF / THF).

[0081] In the present invention, the hydroxyl group protected by the hydroxyl-protecting group is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, an alcoholic hydroxyl group, a phenolic hydroxyl group, or the like. The amino / amine group protected by the amino-protecting group is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a primary amine, a secondary amine, a hydrazine, an amide, or the like. In the present invention, the amine group is not particularly limited, and includes, but is not limited to, a primary amine group, a secondary amine group, a tertiary amine group, and a quaternary ammonium ion.

[0082] In the present invention, the repeating unit of the polyethylene glycol component is an oxyethylene unit, i.e., -CH2CH2O- or -OCH2CH2-, also referred to as "EO unit", the number of repeating units is also referred to as the number of EO units, and the average number of repeating units is also referred to as the average number of EO units, and preferably the number average number.

[0083] In the present invention, for the case of polydispersity, the molecular weight / polymerization degree of a single molecule of a compound and the number average molecular weight / number average polymerization degree of the compound components in a macroscopic substance are "equal" or "same" or "equal" (including other forms of equivalent expressions), unless otherwise specified, to strictly equal values, but rather to close or approximately equal values. The said close or approximately equal values ​​preferably have a deviation of no more than ±10%, usually based on a preset value.

[0084] In the present invention, for the case of monodispersity, the same or equal number of ethylene oxide units in individual compound molecules and general formulas means that they are strictly equal in value; for example, if the number of EO units of a certain PEG component is set to 11, then a set value of 12 does not fall within the set range; however, for a macroscopic product obtained by a certain preparation method in order to obtain a compound component containing a set number of EO units, due to the limitations of the preparation method and purification method, the macroscopic product may also contain other EO unit components in addition to the target EO unit component. In this case, when the average number of EO units deviates from the preset number of EO units by no more than ±5% (base ≥ 10) or no more than ±0.5 (base < 1 0), it is deemed that a monodisperse macroscopic product containing the target component is obtained; in addition, when the content of the component that meets the range of the number of EO units or the average number of EO units reaches a certain percentage (preferably ≥90%, more preferably >95%, more preferably greater than 96%, more preferably greater than 98%, more preferably 99% to 100%), it is also deemed that a monodisperse macroscopic product containing the target component is obtained; even if the above-mentioned content ratio is not reached, as long as the preparation method of the present invention or a similar method using basically the same preparation concept is adopted, the product with insufficient content obtained for some reason, the component that appears in the form of the main product, co-product or by-product, regardless of whether it is separated and purified, are all within the scope of the present invention.

[0085] In the present invention, when the molecular weight of a compound formula of a polydisperse component is described using Da, kDa, the number of repeating units, or the number of EO units, for a single compound molecule, the molecular weight value is allowed to fall within a certain range of the given value (including the endpoints, preferably within a range of ±10%). When the number of ethylene oxide units is used to describe the predetermined molecular weight of a compound formula of a monodisperse component, there is no range fluctuation and the molecular weight is a discrete point. However, the average number of EO units in the prepared product may fluctuate within a certain range (not exceeding ±10% or ±1, preferably not exceeding ±5% or ±0.5) due to the non-uniform molecular weight. For example, the molecular weight of mPEG (methoxypolyethylene glycol unit) is 5 kDa, which means that the molecular weight of a single molecule in the general formula is between 4500 and 5500 Da, and the average molecular weight of the corresponding components of the corresponding prepared product is 5 kDa. That is, the product with an average molecular weight between 4500 and 5500 Da is the target product, and only the components with a molecular weight falling within this range contribute to the content of the target component. For another example, if mPEG is designed to have 22 ethylene oxide units, the number of EO units of all compound molecules in the general formula should strictly be 22, but the prepared product may be a mixture of compounds with 20, 21, 22, 23, or 24 EO units. In this case, when the average number of EO units falls within the range of 22±2.2 (preferably within the range of 22±1.1), the target component is considered to be obtained, and the components with a molecular weight falling within this numerical range can all be considered as target components for calculating purity.

[0086] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "mPEG" refers to a methoxy-terminated polyethylene glycol segment, the structural formula of which is Among them, n i is the degree of polymerization of the polyethylene glycol chain.

[0087] In the present invention, a product with a PDI < 1.005 can be regarded as monodisperse, which can be recorded as PDI = 1.

[0088] In the present invention, the number of repeating units in the "single-chain component" is at least 4.

[0089] In the present invention, " lipid " is also called " lipid " (lipid), includes but not limited to the ester of fatty acid, and is characterized by having poor solubility usually in water, but being soluble in many non-polar organic substances. Although lipid has poor solubility usually in water, some classes of lipid (for example, lipid modified by polar groups such as DMG-PEG2000) have limited water solubility and can be dissolved in water under certain conditions. The known types of lipid include biomolecules, for example fatty acids, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides and phospholipids.

[0090] In the present invention, lipids include simple esters, complex esters, and derivatized lipids. Simple esters are esters composed of fatty acids and alcohols, which can be further divided into three subcategories: fats, oils, and waxes. Complex esters, also known as "lipidoid compounds," include phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids, steroids and sterols, and lipoproteins. Derivatized lipids, including simple lipid derivatives and complex lipid derivatives, possess the general properties of lipids.

[0091] In the present invention, lipids may be synthetic or derived (isolated or modified) from natural sources or compounds.

[0092] In the present invention, " lipid nanoparticle" or " LNP" (lipid nanoparticle) refers to nanometer scale (such as 1nm to 1000nm) particle comprising one or more types of lipid molecules. In the present invention, LNP can further include at least one non-lipid payload molecule (such as, one or more nucleic acid molecules). In some embodiments, LNP comprises non-lipid payload molecules partially or completely encapsulated in lipid shell inside. Especially, in some embodiments, wherein payload is negatively charged molecule (such as, mRNA encoding viral protein), and the lipid component of LNP comprises at least one cationic lipid and at least one pegylated lipid. It is contemplated that cationic lipid can interact with negatively charged payload molecule, and promotes payload to be incorporated into and / or be encapsulated in LNP during LNP formation. As provided herein, other lipids that can form a part for LNP include but are not limited to neutral lipids and steroid lipids.

[0093] As used herein, "cationic" refers to the ability of a corresponding structure to permanently or non-permanently acquire a positive charge in response to certain conditions (e.g., pH). Thus, cations include both permanent cations and cationizable cations. A permanent cation refers to a compound, group, or atom that is positively charged at any pH or hydrogen ion activity of its environment. Typically, the positive charge is generated by the presence of a quaternary nitrogen atom. When a compound carries multiple such positive charges, it can be referred to as a permanent cation. A cationizable refers to a compound, group, or atom that is positively charged at relatively low pH and uncharged at relatively high pH of its environment. Furthermore, in a non-aqueous environment where pH cannot be determined, a cationizable compound, group, or atom is positively charged at high hydrogen ion concentrations and uncharged at low hydrogen ion concentrations or activity. Whether it is charged or uncharged at a given pH or hydrogen ion concentration depends on the properties of the cationizable or polycationizable compound, particularly the pKa of the corresponding cationizable group or atom. In a dilute aqueous environment, the fraction of cationizable compounds, groups or atoms that are positively charged can be estimated using the so-called Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, which is well known to those skilled in the art. In some embodiments, the whole or part of the cationizable compound is positively charged at physiological pH values ​​(e.g., about 7.0-7.4). In some preferred embodiments, the whole or part of the cationizable compound is neutral at physiological pH values ​​(e.g., about 7.0-7.4), but is positively charged at lower pH values ​​(e.g., about 5.5 to 6.5). In some embodiments, the pKa of the whole or part of the cationizable compound is preferably in the range of about 5 to about 7.

[0094] In the present invention, "cationic lipid" refers to a lipid that is positively charged at any pH value or hydrogen ion activity of its environment, or a lipid that is positively charged in response to the pH value or hydrogen ion activity of its environment (e.g., its intended use environment). Therefore, the term "cationic" encompasses the scope of "permanent cations" and "cationizable". In some embodiments, the positive charge in the cationic lipid is derived from the presence of a quaternary nitrogen atom. In some embodiments, the cationic lipid includes a zwitterionic lipid that is positively charged in the environment in which it is intended to be applied (e.g., at endosomal pH). In some embodiments, if a liposome contains a cationizable lipid, it is preferred that it is at a pH of about 1 to 9, preferably 4 to 9, 5 to 8, or 6 to 8, most preferably at an endosome pH (e.g., about 5.5 to 6.5), wherein about 1% to 100% of the cationizable lipid is cationized. Cationic lipids include, but are not limited to, N,N-dioleyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride (DODAC), N,N-distearyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), N-(1-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTAP), N-(1-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTMA), N,N-dimethyl-2,3-dioleyloxypropylamine (DODMA), 3-(didodecylamino)-N1,N1,4-tridodecyl-1-piperazineethylamine (KL10), N1-[2-(didodecylamino)ethyl]-N1,N4,N4-tridodecyl-1,4-piperazinediethylamine ( KL22), 14,25-ditridecyl-15,18,21,24-tetraaza-octatriacontane (KL25), 1,2-dilinoleyloxy-N,N-dimethylaminopropane (DLin-DMA), 2,2-dilinoleyl-4-dimethylaminomethyl-[1,3]-dioxolane (DLin-K-DMA), 4-(dimethylamino)butyric acid triheptadecyl-6,9,28,31-tetraen-19-yl ester (DLin-MC3-DMA), 2,2-dilinoleyl-4-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-[1,3]-dioxolane (DLin-KC2-DMA), any one of the cationic lipids disclosed in CN113402405A and mixtures thereof.

When they contain both PEGylated lipids and cationic lipids, they can be referred to as both "PEGylated liposomes" and "cationic liposomes."

[0099] In the present invention, "cationic liposomes" are liposomes containing cationic lipids, and may also contain other types of lipids (including but not limited to pegylated lipids, neutral lipids, steroid lipids, etc.).

[0100] In the present invention, the "N / P ratio" refers to the molar ratio of nitrogen atoms in the cationic lipid to phosphate in the nucleic acid.

[0101] In the present invention, "nucleic acid" refers to DNA or RNA or a modified form thereof, which contains purine or pyrimidine bases (adenine "A", cytosine "C", guanine "G", thymine "T") present in DNA or purine or pyrimidine bases (adenine "A", cytosine "C", guanine "G", uracil "U") present in RNA.

The protected carboxyl group is deprotected to produce the corresponding free acid. The deprotection is carried out in the presence of a base. The base and the free acid formed by the deprotection form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

[0310] In the present invention, the hydroxyl group protected by the hydroxyl-protecting group is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, an alcoholic hydroxyl group, a phenolic hydroxyl group, or the like. The amino / amine group protected by the amino-protecting group is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a primary amine, a secondary amine, a hydrazine, an amide, or the like. In the present invention, the amine group is not particularly limited, and includes, but is not limited to, a primary amine group, a secondary amine group, a tertiary amine group, and a quaternary ammonium ion.

[0311] In the present invention, the deprotection of the protected hydroxyl group is related to the type of hydroxyl protecting group. The type of the hydroxyl protecting group is not particularly limited. Taking benzyl, silyl ether, acetal, and tert-butyl as examples for protecting the terminal hydroxyl group, the corresponding deprotection methods are:

[0312] A: Deprotection of benzyl group

[0313] Benzyl deprotection can be achieved by utilizing the hydrogenation reaction of a hydrogenation reducing agent and a hydrogen donor. The water content in this reaction system should be less than 1% for the reaction to proceed smoothly.

The reaction solvent is not particularly limited, as long as it can dissolve the reactants and products. Aprotic solvents are preferred, and tetrahydrofuran and dichloromethane are more preferred.

[0323] 3.2.3. Alkylation reaction

[0325] (1) Alkylation of substrate alcohol with sulfonate and halide

[0326] In the presence of a base, an amine intermediate is obtained by nucleophilic substitution of substrate alcohol with sulfonic ester derivatives and halide. Wherein, the molar equivalent of sulfonic ester and halide is 1 to 50 times, preferably 1 to 5 times, of substrate alcohol. When the molar equivalent of the molar equivalent of sulfonic ester and halide is less than 1 times of molar equivalent of substrate alcohol, the reaction substitution is incomplete and is difficult to purify. And when the molar equivalent of sulfonic ester and halide is greater than 50 times of substrate alcohol, excessive reagent brings trouble to purification and may be mixed into subsequent steps, thereby causing next step side reaction to increase, increasing purification difficulty.

[0327] The resulting product is a mixture of an ether intermediate and excess sulfonate and halide, which can be purified by methods such as anion exchange resin, osmosis, and ultrafiltration. The anion exchange resin is not particularly limited, as long as the target product can undergo ion exchange and adsorption on the resin. Ion exchange resins containing tertiary amines or quaternary ammonium salts, such as dextran, agarose, polypropionate, polystyrene, and polystyrene, as backbones are preferred. The solvent for osmosis and ultrafiltration is not limited, and can generally be water or an organic solvent. The organic solvent is not particularly limited, as long as the product can be dissolved therein. Dichloromethane, chloroform, and the like are preferred.

The molar amount of the base is 1 to 50 times the molar equivalent of the sulfonic acid ester or halide, preferably 1 to 10 times, more preferably 3 to 5 times.

[0330] (2) Alkylation reaction between substrate amine and aldehyde derivatives

[0331] After the substrate amine reacts with the aldehyde derivative to obtain the imine intermediate, the intermediate is obtained under the action of a reducing agent. The molar equivalent of the aldehyde derivative is 1 to 20 times that of the substrate amine, preferably 1 to 2 times, and 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 brings trouble to the purification and may be mixed into the subsequent steps, increasing the difficulty of purification. When the molar equivalent of the aldehyde derivative is less than 1 times that of the substrate amine, the reaction is incomplete, increasing the difficulty of purification. The product after the reaction can be purified by means of cation exchange resin, osmosis, ultrafiltration, etc. to obtain the intermediate. There are no special restrictions on the cation exchange resin, as long as it can exchange with the quaternary ammonium cation to achieve a separation effect. There are no restrictions on the solvent for osmosis and ultrafiltration, and it can generally be water or an organic solvent. The organic solvent is not particularly limited as long as the product can be dissolved in it, preferably dichloromethane, chloroform, etc.

Preferred are sodium borohydride, lithium aluminum hydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, Zn / AcOH, and the like, with sodium cyanoborohydride being more preferred. The amount of reducing agent used is generally 0.5 to 50 times, more preferably 1 to 10 times, the amount of the aldehyde derivative.

[0334] 3.2.4. Linear functionalization of the R3 side chain terminal

[0335] The method of linear functionalization of the R3 side chain terminal is not particularly limited and is related to the type of the final functional group or its protected form. R3 that has undergone linear functionalization of the terminal still falls within the scope of R3 of the present invention.

[0336] (1) Functionalization of terminal hydroxyl groups

[0337] Starting from the terminal hydroxyl group of F1, functional groups of type A to type I or their protected forms are obtained by functionalization, for example, from -(CH2) h -R 01 To -(CH2) f -Z3-(CH2) g -R 01 wherein h is an integer from 0 to 6, f is 0, 1 or 2, and g is 2, 3 or 4; wherein Z3 is selected from -(C=O)-, -O(C=O)-, -(C=O)O-, -O(C=O)O-, -O-, -S-, -C(=O)S-, -SC(=O)-, -NR c -、-NR cC(=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-; wherein R c Each occurrence is independently H or methyl, preferably H; the specific preparation method includes but is not limited to that described in paragraphs

[0960] to

[1205] of document CN104530417A.

[0338] (2) Based on the transformation of reactive groups to target functional groups or their protected forms

[0339] Method 1: Direct modification: Direct modification of reactive groups to obtain the target functional group or its protected form. Examples include the conversion of carboxyl groups to acyl halides, hydrazides, esters, thioesters, and dithioesters, as well as the conversion of hydroxyl groups, sulfhydryl groups, alkynyl groups, amino groups, and carboxyl groups to their corresponding protected structures. Another example is the modification of hydroxyl groups and amino groups with acid anhydrides.

[0340] Method 2: A coupling reaction between two reactive groups. Using a heterofunctionalizing reagent containing one reactive group and the target functional group or its protected form as a starting material, one of the reactive groups reacts with the reactive group at the end of F1 to introduce the target functional group or its protected form. The reaction between the two reactive groups is not particularly limited in terms of method and reaction conditions. The reaction conditions are related to the type of divalent linker formed by the reaction, and existing publicly available techniques can be employed. Examples include alkylation, alkenyl addition, alkynyl addition, Schiff base reaction combined with reduction, and condensation reactions. Alkylation reactions are preferably based on the alkylation of sulfhydryl or amino groups, corresponding to the formation of thioether bonds, secondary amino groups, or tertiary amino groups, respectively. Condensation reactions include, but are not limited to, those that form ester groups, thioester groups, amide groups, imine bonds, hydrazone bonds, and carbamate groups. Another example is the click reaction, where heterofunctionalized reagents containing groups such as azide, alkynyl, alkenyl, trithioester, sulfhydryl, dienyl, furyl, 1,2,4,5-tetrazine, and cyanate are used as raw materials to introduce the target functional group or its protected form. The reaction between the two reactive groups is accompanied by the formation of a new bond. Typical examples of the newly formed divalent linking groups include amide bonds, urethane bonds, ester groups, secondary amine bonds, thioether bonds, and triazole groups.

[0727] 5.2. Lipid Pharmaceutical Compositions

[0728] Example 45: Preparation of LNP-mRNA Pharmaceutical Composition

[0729] In this example, LNP-mRNA pharmaceutical compositions containing Fluc-mRNA (LNP / Fluc-mRNA) were prepared. The neutral lipids contained therein were all DSPC, the sterol lipids contained therein were all cholesterol, the cationic lipids contained therein were the cationic lipids of the present invention, DLin-MC3-DMA (abbreviated as MC3), or the reference compounds d-1 to d-4, the PEGylated lipids contained therein were the PEGylated lipids of the present invention or PEG2k-DMG (abbreviated as DMG), and the nucleic acid drugs contained therein were all Fluc-mRNA; wherein the structures of d-1 to d-4 are as follows:

[0730]

[0731] The preparation method of the LNP-mRNA pharmaceutical composition is as follows:

[0732] Step (1): Cationic lipid, DSPC, cholesterol and PEGylated lipid (specifically as shown in Table 1 of Example 46) are dissolved in ethanol at a molar ratio of 50:10:38:1.5 to obtain an ethanol phase solution.

[0733] Step (2): Add Fluc-mRNA to 10-50 mM citrate buffer (pH = 4) to obtain an aqueous solution.

[0734] Step (3): The ethanol phase solution and the aqueous phase solution were mixed (1:3 v / v) to prepare LNP / Fluc-mRNA, and washed by DPBS ultrafiltration multiple times to remove ethanol and free molecules, and finally passed through a 0.2 μm sterile filter for use.

[0735] The above steps (1-3) were used to prepare LNP / Fluc-mRNA, except that the molar ratio of each lipid was changed to cationic lipid:DSPC:cholesterol:PEGylated lipid = 48:9:42:1.5, where E3-2 was used as the cationic lipid and E44-1 as the PEGylated lipid. Other conditions remained unchanged.

[0736] Example 46: Biological Activity Test of Lipid Pharmaceutical Composition

[0737] (1) Determination of nanoparticle size and nucleic acid complexing ability

[0738] Nucleic acid complexing ability assay: Gel permeation electrophoresis was used to investigate the nucleic acid complexing ability of LNP / Fluc-mRNA. 0.8 g of agarose was weighed and dissolved in 40 mL of TAE solution. The agarose particles were heated in a microwave oven to completely dissolve the solution. After cooling, 5 μL of the nucleic acid dye GelGreen was added to the cooled agarose gel. The gel was placed in a gel tank and allowed to dry naturally. A mixture of LNP / Fluc-mRNA and 2 μL of Loading Buffer was added to the wells of the agarose gel. The electrophoresis voltage was set to 90 V and the electrophoresis was performed at room temperature for 10 minutes. Free Fluc-mRNA was essentially absent from the LNP / Fluc-mRNA experimental groups (L-1 to L-43, L-3-2-d, PL-0, PL-3-2, PL-4, PL-10-2, PL-16, PL-17) and the LNP / Fluc-mRNA control group D-0, indicating that the LNPs of the present invention have excellent nucleic acid drug complexing ability.

[0739] Encapsulation efficiency determination: LNP / Fluc-mRNA was ultracentrifuged (4°C, 60,000 rpm, 1 hour). The concentration of unencapsulated Fluc-mRNA in the supernatant was measured using a nucleic acid quantifier. The encapsulation efficiency of the liposomes for Fluc-mRNA was calculated. The results are summarized in Table 1. The liposomes of the present invention exhibited high encapsulation efficiencies for nucleic acid drugs, with encapsulation efficiencies exceeding 80% in the experimental groups. Specifically, compared to E16-1, the polar head of d-1 lacks side chain hydroxyl groups, the polar head of d-2 lacks branched structures, and the polar head of d-3 lacks nitrogen heterocycles. Consequently, the encapsulation efficiency of the experimental group, L-16 (95%), was significantly greater than that of the control groups, D-1, D-2, and D-3 (81%, 91%, and 83%). E1-1 and d-4 also contain multiple ester bonds, and accordingly, the encapsulation efficiency of L-1 (87%) was greater than that of D-4 (81%). Compared with L3-2, L3-2-d contains the same types of lipids and has a higher encapsulation efficiency by adjusting the ratio of each lipid to a certain extent.

[0740] Particle size determination: According to the literature (Hassett et al., J. Controlled Release 2021, 335, 237-246), the particle size of the LNP preparation containing nucleic acid drugs can exert better efficacy when it is 60 to 150 nm. In this embodiment, the particle size of LNP / Fluc-mRNA was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The measured LNP / Fluc-mRNA size uniformity is high, and its PDI is less than 0.3. The experimental results show that the particle size of LNP / Fluc-mRNA prepared using the cationic lipid of the present invention is in the range of about 70 nm to about 113 nm, which is a particle size that can achieve better efficacy.

[0743]

[0744] (2) Serum stability evaluation

[0745] The above-mentioned LNP / Fluc-mRNA (control group D-0, D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4; experimental group L-1, L-3-2, L-4, L-10-2, L-16, L-17, PL-0, PL-3-2, PL-4, PL-10-2, PL-16, PL-17) was added to a 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 / Fluc-mRNA. The serum stability of the nucleic acid drug preparation was analyzed by testing its particle size change. The experimental results show (Table 2) that within 7 days, the particle size of PL-3-2, PL-4, PL-16, and PL-10-2, which contain both the cationic lipids of the present invention and the PEGylated lipids of the present invention, changed minimally (0-3%). The particle size of the remaining experimental and control groups changed by 5-16%. Among them, the cationic lipids D-4, L-1, L-17, and PL-17, which contain carbonate groups or multiple ester groups, showed slightly greater changes in particle size. These results indicate that the cationic lipids of the present invention can be used to prepare lipid pharmaceutical compositions, and the resulting lipid nanoparticles can be sufficiently stable under physiological conditions, and the effect is even better when used in combination with the PEGylated lipids of the present invention.

The cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO₂. After 24 hours of incubation, 3.3 μg / mL of L2K / Fluc-mRNA and 3.3 μg / mL of LNP / Fluc-mRNA were added to the positive control and experimental groups, respectively, and incubation continued at 37°C and 5% CO₂. After 24 hours of incubation, the 96-well plates were removed from the plate in the dark, the culture medium was aspirated, and 120 μL of diluted CCK-8 solution was added to each well. The cells were then incubated at 37°C and 5% CO₂ for 1-4 hours.

[0753] The sample was taken out and the absorbance of each well was measured at a wavelength of 450 nm using an enzyme-labeled instrument.

[0754] The results of three repeated tests were averaged. The cell survival rate of the positive control group L2K / Fluc-mRNA was 92%, the cell survival rates of the experimental groups were all greater than 91%, and the cell survival rates of L3-2, L-16, PL-3-2, PL-4 and PL-16 were 96% and above.

[0755] The results showed that compared with L2K / Fluc-mRNA transfected using the commercial transfection reagent Lipofectamine 2000, the LNP / Fluc-mRNA of the present invention also had no obvious toxicity to cells.

[0759] In order to investigate the mRNA transfection efficiency of each group of LNP / Fluc-mRNA compositions prepared in Example 45 of the present invention at the cellular level, Luciferase bioluminescence was used for testing. The LNP / Fluc-mRNA composition preparation was dissolved in culture medium to prepare the required dose. Hela cells were used as a cell model, and 100 μL / well of the cell suspension was inoculated into a 96-well plate with a black-edged transparent bottom at a seeding density of 6000 cells / well. After inoculation, the cells were incubated in a cell culture incubator for 24 hours, and then administered at a dose of 0.2 μg mRNA per well. The blank control group was added with a corresponding dose of free Fluc-mRNA. After 24 hours of transfection, the old culture medium was removed and replaced with a new culture medium containing D-fluorescein sodium (1.5 mg / mL) substrate. After incubation for 5 minutes, 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 3, where the relative value of fluorescence intensity is the ratio of the fluorescence intensity value of each group to the fluorescence intensity of the blank control group. The results showed that the LNP / Fluc-mRNA compositions prepared by the present invention all had excellent in vitro transfection effects. The LNPs in both the control and experimental groups were effective delivery vehicles, and the transfection effects of most experimental groups were superior to those of the control group. When the PEGylated lipid in the LNP / Fluc-mRNA composition was DMG, the cationic lipids L-1, L-3-2, L-10-2, and L-16, each containing a nitrogen heterocycle in the polar head, showed the best transfection effects. Among them, L-1 had the best transfection effect, likely because its multiple ester bonds facilitated the degradation of the cationic lipid within the cell, promoting the release of the nucleic acid drug Fluc-mRNA into the cytoplasm. When the PEGylated lipid in the LNP / Fluc-mRNA composition was E44-1 of the present invention, the transfection efficiency was not significantly reduced (e.g., the transfection efficiencies of L-0 and PL-0 were comparable), and when combined with the cationic lipids of the present invention, the transfection efficiency was improved to a certain extent (e.g., PL-1 and PL-3-2).
