Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a transfection reagent based on blank lipid nanoparticles, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Inserting foreign DNA into bacteria to express the desired protein has become a conventional technique, such as synthesizing human insulin in Escherichia coli. However, since bacteria are different from mammalian (eukaryotic) cells and lack the enzymes and organelles responsible for protein processing and modification (e.g., glycosylation, disulfide bond formation, etc.), synthesizing recombinant proteins in bacteria is subject to multiple limitations. Bacteria cannot fold larger proteins into the correct 3D structure to ensure the biological activity of the protein. Delivering effective genes into eukaryotic cells for expression can well solve this dilemma.
[0003] Transfection is a process of delivering foreign nucleic acids into eukaryotic cells to change the genetic composition of host cells. The above-mentioned nucleic acids include deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), and small non-coding RNAs, such as siRNA, shRNA, and miRNA. Currently, there is a huge and growing demand for highly efficient gene delivery agents.
[0004] Common commercially available transfection reagents include the Lipofectamine series of ThermoFisher, such as 2000, 3000, Lipofectamine LTX, Plus, RNAiMAX (CN106318971A, CN107057061A); Lipofection of Invitrogen; the DharmaFECT series of Doharmacon; DOTAP of Roche; HiPerfect of Qiagen; Nanofectamine of GE Healthcare; and Escort IV liposomes of SigmaAldrich.
[0005] The working principle of these commercially available transfection reagents generally involves using cationic polymers or cationic lipids to bind to anionic substances such as nucleic acids, transporting the nucleic acid substances into cells, and sometimes other reagents (e.g., peptides) must be added as adjuvants to achieve effective transfection. They not only have a complex composition and relatively high toxicity of cationic materials to cells, but also these reagents do not have good transfection effects on all cell types, and the selectivity of the reagents for cell types is relatively high. Therefore, there is still an urgent need for transfection reagents with lower toxicity than existing transfection reagents and generally having transfection effects on various types of cells.
[0006] Patent CN105143456A discloses lipid nanoparticles for transfection, including a transfection reagent composition and an anionic macromolecule. The transfection reagent composition comprises: (a) one or more cationic lipids or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts; (b) one or more neutral lipids; (c) one or more sterols; and (d) one or more surfactants. Although this patent can achieve effective delivery of siRNA OGN and other anionic macromolecules to primary cells that are difficult to transfect in vitro and to target cells in vivo, the lipid nanoparticles for transfection need to adopt a special and complex mixing process to prepare a suitable product.
[0007] The present invention provides a transfection reagent, which is prepared by mixing lipid nanoparticles and nucleic acids in a solution state, with a simple composition, a concise process and high reproducibility. The transfection reagent provided by this patent can efficiently transfect a variety of cells and has low toxicity to cells. Compared with commercially available transfection reagents, it has better transfection effects. Summary of the Invention

The preparation processes of the blank lipid nanoparticles and the transfection reagent are simple and can be completed without the aid of equipment. The transfection reagent is prepared from the blank lipid nanoparticles and nucleic acids, and the dosage can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of users. Moreover, the transfection effect is stable, and it can transfect a variety of cells (such as 293T, Hela, HepG2, TWO3, MCF7) with low cytotoxicity and good transfection effects.

[0254] The synthetic process of the present invention can accommodate multiple functional groups, so various substituted starting materials can be used. These processes generally provide the desired final compound at the end or near the end of the entire process, although in some cases the compound may need to be further converted into its pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The compounds of the present invention can be prepared in various ways using commercially available starting materials, compounds known in the literature, or intermediates that are easily prepared, by employing standard synthetic methods and procedures known to those skilled in the art or that are obvious to those skilled in the art based on the teachings herein. Standard synthetic methods and procedures for preparing organic molecules and functional group transformations and operations can be obtained from relevant scientific literature or from standard textbooks in the art. The following description of the synthetic methods is designed to illustrate rather than limit the general procedures for preparing the compounds of the present invention.
[0255] The compounds of the present invention having the various formulas described herein can be prepared from commercially available starting materials or starting materials that can be prepared using literature processes according to the processes illustrated in the corresponding general synthetic routes. The variables in each general synthetic route (such as R1 , R 2 and R 3 etc.) are defined as herein. Those of ordinary skill in the art should note that, in the reaction procedures and synthetic schemes described herein, the order of certain steps can be varied, such as the introduction and removal of protecting groups.
[0256] In the reaction schemes described herein, multiple stereoisomers can be produced. When no specific stereoisomer is indicated, this should be understood to include all possible stereoisomers produced by the reaction. Those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that the reaction can be optimized to preferentially obtain one isomer, or new schemes can be designed to produce a single isomer. If a mixture is produced, techniques such as preparative thin-layer chromatography, preparative HPLC, preparative chiral HPLC, or preparative SFC can be used to separate the isomers.
