Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, specifically to a benzamide-based ionizable lipid or its salt, a nanodelivery system, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] The statements herein provide only background information in relation to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Nucleic acid drugs (including DNA and RNA drugs) are drugs with specific base sequences. DNA drugs include plasmids and antisense oligonucleotides, while RNA drugs include messenger RNA (mRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). Because nucleic acid molecules are readily and rapidly cleared from the bloodstream, the safe and efficient delivery of specific genes into cells is crucial for the therapeutic effect of these drugs.

[0004] Currently, lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-mediated nucleic acid drug delivery is one of the most widely used delivery systems. The LNP system consists of four main classes of lipids: ionizable lipids (or cationic lipids), accessory lipids, cholesterol, and polyethylene glycol-modified lipids (PEG-lipids). Ionizable lipids are a key component of the formulation; they are neutral at physiological pH but positively charged at the acidic pH of the endosomal environment to minimize potential toxicity. However, to date, only 1%–2% of the nucleic acid payload has managed to escape from late endosomal regions into the cytoplasm via LNPs. Therefore, there remains a pressing need to develop ionizable lipids with highly efficient endosomal escape capabilities to improve nucleic acid drug delivery both in vitro and in vivo.

[0005] Ionizable lipids, as multi-component molecules, require precise design of each part to safely and effectively package and deliver nucleic acids. Typically, ionizable lipids consist of three parts: an amino head, a linker, and a hydrophobic tail. The amino head primarily participates in encapsulating nucleic acids, stabilizing LNPs, interacting with cell membranes, and promoting endosome escape. The linker connects the head and tail, influencing the stability and biodegradability of the LNP. The hydrophobic tail affects lipid fluidity and incorporation, thus impacting LNP formation and potency. Modification and optimization of these three parts of ionizable lipids determine the ionization behavior and surface charge of LNPs, further influencing their stability and toxicity. Therefore, while ensuring good endosome escape ability for LNPs prepared from ionizable lipids, it is necessary to develop ionizable lipids with higher biocompatibility and stronger in vivo safety. Summary of the Invention

[0082] Example 3

[0083] Preparation and characterization of lipid nanoparticles

[0084] A lipid ethanol solution was prepared by dissolving lipid compound M2, DOPE, cholesterol, and DMG-PEG prepared in Example 2 in anhydrous ethanol at a molar ratio of 35:30:25:0.5, wherein the concentration of lipid compound M2 was 10 mg / ml. An aqueous mRNA solution was prepared by dissolving EGFP (or Luciferase) mRNA in citrate buffer (10-50 mM, pH=4). The lipid ethanol solution and the aqueous mRNA solution were rapidly mixed using a NanoAssemblr microfluidic device (Precision Nanosystems) to prepare a solution containing lipid nanoparticles. The weight ratio of lipid compound to mRNA was 10:1. Subsequently, lipid nanoparticles encapsulating mRNA were obtained through dialysis and ultrafiltration.

[0085] The morphology and physicochemical properties of the lipid nanoparticles were then further characterized. Transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize the morphology of the lipid nanoparticles, while a Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS was used to characterize the nanosize, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential. The encapsulation efficiency was determined using the Quant-iT RiboGreen RNAAssay Kit.

[0086] The results are as follows Figure 1-3 As shown, the lipid nanoparticles are spherical with a particle size within 200 nm, and their surface charge is close to electroneutrality. They exhibit good encapsulation efficiency (>80%), indicating that lipid nanoparticles composed of benzamide-based ionizable lipids, cholesterol, phospholipids, and PEG lipids can effectively encapsulate mRNA.

[0087] In vitro transfection experiment of lipid nanoparticles

[0088] The prepared lipid compounds L1-L4 and M1-M4 were used to prepare lipid nanoparticle solutions containing EGFP mRNA according to Example 3 (lipid compound:mRNA weight ratio of 10:1), and were named LLNP1, LLNP2, LLNP3, LLNP4, MLNP1, MLNP2, MLNP3, and MLNP4, respectively.

[0089] RAW264.7 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were seeded into 96-well plates containing DMEM medium at a density of 1 x 10⁶ cells per well. 5 Cells were collected and prepared for transfection after cell adhesion (37℃, approximately 12 hours). Lipid nanoparticles containing 0.2 μg mRNA were added to each well, with three replicates per group. 24 hours after transfection, the transfection efficiency of each group was assessed using flow cytometry. The transfection efficiencies for LLNP1-4 and MLNP1-4 were 53.64%, 78.99%, 62.64%, 51.51%, 59.99%, 85.38%, 68.04%, and 64.29%, respectively.

[0090] Transfection results as follows Figure 5 As shown, the transfection effects of LNPs prepared by benzamide-based ionizable lipids with different linking amino acids and tail chain lengths vary. Lipids containing methionine may interact with groups in RNA through hydrogen bonding via methionine groups, thus enabling better delivery of nucleic acid molecules.

[0091] Biocompatibility experiments of lipid nanoparticles

[0092] Cell viability was determined using the CCK-8 (cell counting kit-8) assay. Logarithmically growing RAW264.7 cells were seeded into 96-well plates containing DMEM medium at a density of 1 x 102 cells per well. 5 Cells were incubated in a cell culture incubator for 24 hours. Then, the original cell culture medium was replaced with 100 μL of LNP (containing 20 μg / mL mRNA) cell culture medium, and incubated for a total of 4 hours. Subsequently, the cell supernatant was removed, fresh cell culture medium was added, and incubation continued for 20 hours. Finally, the supernatant in the well plate was removed, 100 μL of fresh cell culture medium containing CCK-8 working solution (10 μL / mL) was added, and incubation continued for 2 hours. Cell viability of each group of LNPs was detected using a multifunctional microplate: LLNP1-4 and MLNP1-4 showed viability of 96%, 98%, 95%, 94%, 97%, 96%, 96%, and 95%, respectively.

[0093] Cell viability (%) = [A1 - A0] / [A2 - A0] × 100; A1 is the absorbance of the drug-treated group, A0 is the absorbance of the blank group, and A2 is the absorbance of the control group. Cells not treated with LNP were used as the control group, and their cell viability was set to 100%.

[0094] Cell viability results showed that, within the specified LNP concentration range, none of the LNPs prepared from benzamide-based ionizable lipids exhibited significant cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility.
