Abstract
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 nitrogen-containing cationic lipid, a liposome containing the cationic lipid, a liposome nucleic acid drug composition containing the cationic lipid, and a preparation and application 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. In particular, with the approval of two transcript messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines for the prevention of new coronavirus, 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 auxiliary lipids, sterol lipids and PEGylated lipids. Among them, cationic lipids interact with negatively charged mRNA through electrostatics. Auxiliary lipids are generally phospholipids that prevent lipid oxidation or connect ligands to the surface of liposomes or reduce the aggregation of lipid particles. Sterol lipids have strong membrane fusion properties and promote mRNA intracellular uptake and cytoplasmic entry. 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 used to prepare LNPs, the most critical one is the ionizable cationic lipid, which is non-ionized and carries a neutral charge under physiological conditions, and can be ionized and carries a partial positive charge under acidic conditions. For example, when cationic lipids are used as carriers to deliver nucleic acid drugs, at low pH, the cationic lipids and nucleic acids (such as mRNA encoding antigens or fluorescent proteins) are bound to each other through electrostatic interactions and are encapsulated into LNPs. The encapsulated LNPs maintain an overall neutral surface charge outside the cell to reduce nonspecific interactions and thus enter the cell. After entering the cell, the acidic environment inside the cell endosome will cause the surface charge of the LNPs to become positive, thereby promoting the escape of mRNA from the endosome into the cytoplasm, and further translation into corresponding active molecules (such as antigen molecules or fluorescent proteins) in the cytoplasm, ultimately achieving efficient delivery and transfection of mRNA molecules.
[0003] Despite the recent progress 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. WO2021026358A1 reports that nitrogen-containing lipids can be protonated to carry a positive charge or partial positive charge at physiological pH. Therefore, this application designs some new cationic lipids containing nitrogen or multi-stage nitrogen branching. Summary of the Invention

That is, it is connected by methylene or substituted methylene. The substituted methylene can be replaced by one monovalent substituent, two monovalent substituents or one divalent substituent (such as divalent oxygen, such as forming a three-membered ring together with the divalent methylene). The substituted methylene group may be a single hydrogen atom substituted (e.g., -CH(CH3)-), two hydrogen atoms substituted separately (e.g., -(CH3)C(OCH3)-), or two hydrogen atoms substituted simultaneously (e.g., carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, -C(=NH)-, -C(=N + H2)-), can also be a cyclic side group (such as The atomic spacing is denoted as 1).

[0043] In the present invention, "connecting bond" refers to a group that only plays a connecting role and does not contain any atoms. When a group is defined as a connecting bond, it also means that the group may not exist.
[0044] In the present invention, "each occurrence is independently any of the options in the definition" not only means that different groups can be independently any of the options in the definition, but also means that different positions in the same group can also be independently any of the options in the definition. For example, in -Z-L4-Z-, "each occurrence of Z 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 -、-NRc C(=O)O-, -SC(=O)NR c -and-NR c C(=O)S-, wherein R c Each occurrence is independently a hydrogen atom or a C 1-12 Alkyl", in the "-Z-L4-Z-" group, the two Z groups can be the same or different, in the group "-NR c C(=O)NR c -" in the middle, two R c may be the same or different and are each independently a hydrogen atom or a C 1-12 alkyl.
[0045] As used herein, a "group" contains at least one atom and refers to a free radical formed by the loss of one or more atoms from a compound. A group formed by the loss of some of these groups is also referred to as a residue. The valence of a group is not particularly limited; for example, groups can be classified as monovalent, divalent, trivalent, tetravalent, etc., and even centrivalent groups. Groups with a valence of 2 or greater are collectively referred to as linkers. Linkers can also contain only one atom, such as oxy and thiol groups.
[0046] In the present invention, "hydrocarbon" refers to a hydrocarbon compound composed of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms.
[0047] In this disclosure, hydrocarbons are classified into aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons based on their hydrocarbon group. Hydrocarbons that do not contain either a benzene ring or a hydrocarbon-substituted benzene ring are defined as aliphatic hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons that contain at least one benzene ring or a hydrocarbon-substituted benzene ring are defined as aromatic hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons may contain aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, such as toluene, diphenylmethane, and 2,3-dihydroindene.

[0066] 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. For example, in some embodiments, if a compound or moiety is cationizable, it is preferred that it be positively charged at a pH of about 1 to 9, preferably 4 to 9, 5 to 8, or even 6 to 8, more preferably at a pH of 9 or less, 8 or less, or 7 or less, and most preferably at a physiological pH (e.g., about 7.3 to 7.4), i.e., under physiological conditions, particularly the physiological salt conditions of cells in vivo. In other embodiments, it is preferred that the cationizable compound or moiety be predominantly neutral at physiological pH (e.g., about 7.0-7.4), but become positively charged at lower pH values.

[0202] 2.5. Description of relevant raw materials and / or steps in the preparation process
[0203] 2.5.1. Protection and Deprotection of Related Groups During the Reaction
[0204] The present invention also involves the "protection" and "deprotection" processes of related groups during the reaction. To prevent the functional groups from affecting the reaction, they are typically protected. Furthermore, when there are two or more functional groups, the remaining functional groups are protected in order to selectively allow only the target functional group to react. Protecting groups not only stably protect the target functional group but also need to be easily removable as needed. Therefore, in organic synthesis, it is important to deprotect only the protecting groups bonded to the intended functional group under appropriate conditions.
[0205] 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, and the deprotection is carried out in the presence of a base.

The amino protecting group is preferably Boc tert-butyloxycarbonyl, Moz p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, and Fmoc 9-fluorenylmethyleneoxycarbonyl. 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; TFA is preferred. The deprotecting agent used for removing the Fmoc protecting group is a 20% piperidine solution in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).
[0207] 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 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. The amino group in the present invention is not particularly limited, and includes, but is not limited to, a primary amino group, a secondary amino group, a tertiary amino group, and a quaternary ammonium ion.
[0208] 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:
[0209] A: Deprotection of benzyl group
[0210] 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.
[0211] The hydrogenation reduction catalyst is not limited, and is preferably palladium and nickel, but the carrier is not limited, but preferably aluminum oxide or carbon, more preferably carbon. The amount of palladium is 1 to 100 wt% of the protected hydroxy compound, preferably 1 to 20% wt% of the protected hydroxy compound.

The reaction time is not particularly limited and is inversely correlated with the amount of catalyst used, but is preferably 1 to 5 hours.
[0213] B: Deprotection of acetals and ketals
[0214] Preferred acetal or ketal compounds for this type of hydroxyl protection include ethyl vinyl ether, tetrahydropyran, acetone, 2,2-dimethoxypropane, and benzaldehyde. Deprotection of these acetals and ketals is achieved under acidic conditions, preferably with a solution pH of 0 to 4. The acid is not particularly limited, but acetic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid are preferred, with hydrochloric acid being more preferred. The reaction solvent is not particularly limited, as long as it can dissolve the reactants and products, and water is preferred. The reaction temperature is preferably 0 to 30°C.
[0215] C: Deprotection of silyl ethers
[0216] Compounds used for this type of hydroxyl protection include trimethylsilyl ether, triethylsilyl ether, dimethyl tert-butylsilyl ether, tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ether, etc. Deprotection of this type of silyl ether is performed using a fluorine-containing compound, preferably tetrabutylammonium fluoride, tetraethylammonium fluoride, hydrofluoric acid, potassium fluoride, and more preferably tetrabutylammonium fluoride and potassium fluoride. The amount of the fluorine-containing reagent used is 5 to 20 times the molar equivalent of the protected hydroxyl group, preferably 8 to 15 times the molar equivalent of the initiator. If the amount of the fluorine-containing reagent is less than 5 times the molar equivalent of the protected hydroxyl group, incomplete deprotection will result. When the amount of the deprotection reagent is greater than 20 times the molar equivalent of the protected hydroxyl group, the excess reagent or compound will cause problems in purification and may be mixed into subsequent steps, causing side reactions. 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. The reaction temperature is preferably 0 to 30°C. When the temperature is below 0°C, the reaction rate is slow and the protecting group cannot be completely removed.

[0220] 2.5.2. Alkylation reaction
[0221] The alkylation reaction of the present invention is preferably based on the alkylation of hydroxyl, sulfhydryl or amino groups, corresponding to the formation of ether bonds, thioether bonds, secondary amino groups or tertiary amino groups, respectively. Examples are as follows:
[0222] 2.5.2.1. Alkylation of the Substrate Alcohol with Sulfonates and Halides
[0223] 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.
[0224] 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.
[0225] The reaction solvent is not limited, but is preferably an aprotic solvent such as toluene, benzene, xylene, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, dichloromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide, more preferably dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide or tetrahydrofuran.
[0226] The base includes an organic base (such as triethylamine, pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, imidazole or diisopropylethylamine) or an inorganic base (such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate, potassium carbonate or potassium hydroxide), preferably an organic base, more preferably triethylamine or pyridine. 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.
[0227] 2.5.2.2. Alkylation of substrate amine with sulfonate or halide
[0228] A. Alkylation of substrate amine with sulfonate and halide
[0229] In the presence of a base, an amine intermediate is obtained by nucleophilic substitution of a substrate amine with a sulfonate derivative and a halide. The molar equivalent of the sulfonate and halide is 1 to 50 times, preferably 1 to 5 times, that of the substrate amine. When the molar equivalent of the sulfonate and halide is less than 1 molar equivalent of the substrate amine, the substitution reaction is incomplete and purification is difficult. When the molar equivalent of the sulfonate and halide is greater than 50 times that of the substrate amine, the excess reagents cause trouble for purification and may be mixed into subsequent steps, thereby increasing side reactions in the next step and increasing the difficulty of purification.
[0230] The resulting product is a mixture of an amine 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. Preferred ion exchange resins are those containing tertiary amines or quaternary ammonium salts, such as dextran, agarose, polypropionate, polystyrene, and polystyrene, as backbones. 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.
[0231] The reaction solvent is not limited, but is preferably an aprotic solvent such as toluene, benzene, xylene, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, dichloromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide, more preferably dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide or tetrahydrofuran.
[0232] The base includes an organic base (such as triethylamine, pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, imidazole or diisopropylethylamine) or an inorganic base (such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate, potassium carbonate or potassium hydroxide), preferably an organic base, more preferably triethylamine or pyridine. 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.
[0233] 2.5.2.3. Alkylation reaction of substrate amine with aldehyde derivatives
[0234] 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.

[0496] Example 28: Preparation of cationic liposome nucleic acid pharmaceutical composition
[0497] Table 1 - Formulations of various liposomes and physicochemical properties of liposome pharmaceutical compositions
[0498]
[0499] In this example, multiple groups of cationic liposomes were prepared for comparison. The neutral lipids contained in the composition of each group of cationic liposomes were all DSPC, the sterol lipids contained were all cholesterol, and the PEGylated lipids contained were all PEG2k-DMG (DMG for short). The only difference was the cationic lipids. Among them, control group 1: the cationic lipid was ALC-0315, prepared with reference to the method disclosed in document CN108368028A; control group 2: the cationic lipid was SM102, prepared with reference to the method disclosed in document CN110520409A; experimental group series (L-1 to L-31): the cationic lipids were the cationic lipids prepared in the examples of this application, as shown in Table 1.
[0500] Preparation of a cationic liposome nucleic acid pharmaceutical composition (LNP-mRNA): The cationic lipids, DSPC, cholesterol, and PEGylated lipids listed in Table 1 were dissolved in ethanol at appropriate molar ratios to obtain an ethanol phase solution; Fluc-mRNA was added to 50 mM citrate buffer (pH = 4) at an N / P ratio of 6:1 to obtain an aqueous phase solution; the aforementioned ethanol phase solution and the aqueous phase solution were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:3, and washed with DPBS ultrafiltration multiple times to remove ethanol and free molecules, and finally filtered through a 0.2 μm sterile filter to obtain a cationic liposome nucleic acid pharmaceutical composition.
[0501] Example 29: Physical and Chemical Property Testing of Cationic Liposome Nucleic Acid Pharmaceutical Compositions
[0502] Encapsulation efficiency determination: In this example, the encapsulation efficiency of cationic liposomes was determined using the Quant-it Ribogreen RNA quantitative assay kit. The results showed that the cationic liposomes of the present invention had a high encapsulation efficiency for nucleic acid drugs (mRNA), all within the range of 80%-95%, with most encapsulation efficiencies within the range of 85%-95%, as shown in Table 1. The results showed that the cationic lipids containing multiple nitrogen branches in the present application had an encapsulation efficiency higher or lower than that of the control group, and the encapsulation efficiency of lipid compounds with tertiary amines as nitrogen branches to introduce hydrophobic fatty tails was lower, for example, L-1, L-2, L-3, and L-12 all had relatively low encapsulation efficiencies, while the encapsulation efficiency of cationic lipids with amines in carbamate bonds as nitrogen branches to introduce hydrophobic fatty tails was higher, and the encapsulation effect of cationic lipids with a hydrophobic fatty tail introduced by an amine in a carbamate bond as a nitrogen branch at one end and a hydrophobic tail introduced by a carbon branch at the other end was even better, such as L-8, L-9, L-10, and L-16.
[0503] Particle diameter determination: In the present embodiment, the particle diameter of LNP-mRNA is measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The cationic liposome size uniformity measured is higher, and its PDI is all less than 0.3. The particle diameter of the cationic liposome prepared by the lipid composition of the application is within the range of 90-120nm, as specifically shown in Table 1.
[0504] Example 30: Biological Activity Test of Cationic Liposome Nucleic Acid Pharmaceutical Composition
[0505] (1) Cytotoxicity (biocompatibility) research
[0506] The cytotoxicity of the cationic liposome nucleic acid drug composition of the present invention was tested by MTT staining. The cationic liposome nucleic acid drug was dissolved in culture medium to prepare the required dose. 293T cells were used as a cell model at a seeding density of 4×10 4Cells / well, 100 μL / well of cell suspension was inoculated into a 96-well plate. After inoculation, the cells were incubated in a cell culture incubator for 24 hours, and then administered at a dose of 0.2 ug mRNA per well. The blank control group was added with a corresponding volume of fresh culture medium, with 3 replicates per group. After the composition preparation was incubated with 293T cells for 24 hours, 20 μL of PBS buffer of 5 mg / mL MTT was added to each well. After incubation with 293T cells for 4 hours, the mixture of culture medium and MTT buffer was discarded, 150 μL / well of DMSO was added, and after sufficient vibration, the absorbance was tested with a microplate reader. Calculation was performed based on the measured absorbance value. The results showed that, compared with the blank control group, the cell viability of the cationic liposome nucleic acid pharmaceutical composition prepared by the present invention was greater than 95%, indicating that the cationic liposome nucleic acid pharmaceutical composition of the present invention has good biocompatibility.
[0507] (2) Study on mRNA transfection rate at the cellular level
[0508] In order to investigate the mRNA transfection efficiency of some cationic liposome pharmaceutical compositions (L-CT1, L-CT2, L-1, L-8, L-9, L-10, L-11, L-12, L-16, L-22, and L-23) prepared in Example 28 of the present invention at the cellular level, Luciferase bioluminescence was used to test. The cationic liposome nucleic acid pharmaceutical preparations were dissolved in culture medium to prepare the required dose. 293T cells were used as a cell model at a seeding density of 4×10 4Cells / well, 100 μL / well of the cell suspension was inoculated into a 96-well plate with a black-edged transparent bottom. 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 the corresponding dose of free Fluc-mRNA. Each group had 3 replicates of each concentration. 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 results are shown in Table 2, where the relative value of fluorescence intensity is the ratio of the fluorescence intensity value of each group to the fluorescence intensity value of the blank control group. The results show that compared with the blank group, the cationic liposome nucleic acid drug composition prepared by the present invention has an excellent in vitro transfection effect, and the transfection rate of most cationic liposome nucleic acid drug compositions is higher than that of the control group, which further shows that the more tertiary amines in the cationic lipids, the better. That is, the ability to ionize more positive charges does not necessarily result in better encapsulation efficiency and transfection efficiency. The position of the ionizable tertiary amine structure is particularly important for the overall performance of the cationic lipid. Cationic lipids with tertiary amines at the polar head of the short chain (e.g., L-8, L-9, L-10, L-11, L-16, L-23) rather than the hydrophobic long tail chain (e.g., L-1, L-12, L-26) are more conducive to the formation of cationic liposomes, can better encapsulate nucleic acid drugs, and also help nucleic acid drugs to be released from endosomes to the cytoplasm to exert their effects, thereby showing higher encapsulation efficiency and cell transfection efficiency.
