Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nucleic acid drugs, and in particular to a series of double-stranded oligonucleotide molecules with specific modified groups capable of reducing off-target effects and uses thereof. Background Art
[0002] Small nucleic acid drugs refer to oligonucleotide sequences with a length of less than 30 nt, including small interfering nucleic acids (siRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), micro RNA (miRNA), antisense nucleic acids (ASO) and nucleic acid aptamers (Aptamer). These drugs bind to the RNA of the target molecule and inhibit its translation or regulation, thereby achieving the therapeutic effect. Small nucleic acid drugs have high targeting and specificity, and can accurately regulate gene expression. Therefore, they have broad application prospects in gene therapy and gene editing.
[0003] To be used as effective therapeutic drugs, natural oligonucleotide molecules still have many problems that must be overcome, such as: (1) poor stability in vivo. The phosphodiester bonds of oligonucleotides are easily rapidly degraded by various ribozymes that are widely present in the blood and cells in the body; (2) low affinity and specificity for binding to target genes, which can easily lead to "off-target" effects, immune stimulation and toxic side effects; (3) low bioavailability. Oligonucleotides are usually polyvalent anionic macromolecules, so it is difficult for them to enter target organs and tissues, and it is not easy for them to penetrate the lipophilic cell membrane and enter the cell.
[0004] Chemical modification of nucleic acids is a key technology and bottleneck in the development of nucleic acid drugs. In response to the above problems, since the 1970s, many successful oligonucleotide structure modification strategies have been developed by modifying the phosphate backbone, sugar group, and base, such as thiophosphate, 2'-OMe, 2'-OMOE, 2'-F modified at the 2' position, Morpholino, PNA, etc., which greatly improve the tolerance of oligonucleotides to nucleases, affinity and specificity for target genes, reduce immune stimulation and toxic side effects, and promote the development of nucleic acid drugs.
[0005] However, currently approved small nucleic acid drugs are mainly concentrated in the field of rare diseases, and further breakthroughs are still expected in major diseases. Off-target toxicity is one of the key issues and challenges in the development of small nucleic acid drugs. Those skilled in the art have been committed to solving the drug-making barriers of small nucleic acid drugs caused by off-target effects. The off-target toxicity of small nucleic acid drugs mainly comes from the toxic reaction caused by the binding of drug molecules to non-target RNA, while the main off-target effect of siRNA comes from the pairing of the antisense chain seed region (positions 1 to 9 at the 5' end) with non-target mRNA, and causes abnormal gene expression (miRNA-like off-target effect) through a mechanism similar to that of microRNA (miRNA). Many nucleic acid drugs with excellent activity in preclinical efficacy studies are difficult to use in actual drug development due to the toxicity caused by their off-target effects. Research and development to maintain good pharmaceutical activity and T of siRNA drugs. m While increasing the value, the need to minimize the off-target effects of this type of drug is an important problem that needs to be solved in this field. It is an important development direction of the new generation of nucleic acid chemical modification and has important theoretical and practical significance. Summary of the invention
[0006] The present invention aims to overcome the poor pharmaceutical activity of small interfering nucleic acid (siRNA) drugs in the prior art, m In order to overcome the technical defects of high ribose value or off-target effect, a 2' ribose modified nucleoside monomer and its synthesis method and application are provided. The novel modified nucleoside monomer provided by the present invention introduces different modification groups at the 2' position of ribose. The double-stranded oligonucleotide (dsRNA) molecule prepared by the modified nucleoside of the present application can reduce the melting temperature (Tm) value of the double-stranded oligonucleotide (dsRNA) molecule, reduce the off-target effect of the dsRNA sequence, or maintain good pharmacodynamic activity by using modified nucleoside monomers at specific positions of the dsRNA sequence.

The present invention has monomers modified with different functional groups embedded in the antisense oligonucleotide chain without affecting the double-stranded formation ability of the complementary RNA chain (ssRNA), and the embedded modified nucleoside monomers at different positions (5' end, seed region or middle position) of the antisense oligonucleotide chain also do not affect the double-stranded formation ability of the complementary RNA chain (ssRNA). For example, siRNA double strands ON1, ON2, ON3, wherein YK-NUM-101 phosphoramidite monomer is embedded in the middle of ON2 antisense strand, and YK-NUM-102 phosphoramidite monomer is embedded in the 5' end of ON3 antisense strand, but these three siRNA double strands have the same typical A-form conformation characteristics; siRNA double strands ON1, ON4, ON6, ON7, ON8, ON9, ON10, ON12, ON14, ON15 indicate that nucleoside monomers modified with different functional groups are used at the same position of siRNA antisense strand (the seventh position at the 5' end of the antisense strand seed region), and these 10 siRNA double strands also have typical A-form conformation characteristics, with a maximum negative absorption peak (trough) near 210nm, and a maximum positive absorption peak (peak) between 260nm-280nm. The siRNA antisense strand synthesized by the oligonuclear monomer modified by the present invention has good hybridization ability with its complementary RNA strand (ssRNA).

[0371] Table 4 The inhibition efficiency of PCSK9 gene by different modified small interfering oligonucleotide sequences
[0372]
[0373]
[0374]
[0375] As can be seen from the above table, at a concentration of 15 nM, the fully modified siRNA chains, including ON1, ON2, ON3, ON4, ON5, ON6, ON7, ON8, ON9, ON10, ON11, ON12, ON13, ON14, and ON15, have a significant inhibitory effect on the expression of PCSK9 mRNA in Hep3B cells. Among them, the specific position of the antisense chain in ON4, ON6, ON7, and ON8 (the seventh position from the 5' end of the seed region) adopts the modified nucleoside monomer designed by the present invention, and its inhibition efficiency on the PCSK9 gene exceeds 85%. Compared with ON12, the inhibition efficiency of the PCSK9 gene is significantly improved. Compared with the siRNA chains ON14 and ON15 that introduce the prior art nucleoside monomers (NA0133, 18c) at the specific position of the antisense chain, the inhibition efficiency of the PCSK9 gene is significantly improved.
[0376] 1) Embedding modified nucleoside monomers at different positions (5' end or middle position) of the antisense oligonucleotide chain, for example, siRNA double strands ON1, ON2, ON3, where YK-NUM-101 phosphoramidite monomer is embedded in the middle of the ON2 antisense chain, and YK-NUM-102 phosphoramidite monomer is embedded at the 5' end of the ON3 antisense chain. The inhibition efficiency of ON1 on the PCSK9 gene is 88.6%; the inhibition efficiency of ON2 on the PCSK9 gene is 77.5%, which is 11.1% lower than that of ON1; the inhibition efficiency of ON3 on the PCSK9 gene is 78.9%, which is 9.7% lower than that of ON1. It can be seen that compared with the 2'-OCH3 modification of the nucleoside sugar ring at different positions (5' end or middle position) of the ON1 antisense oligonucleotide chain, the nucleosides at the corresponding positions of ON2 and ON3 are modified with 2'-CH2OCH3. The change of the modification group leads to a decrease of about 10% in the inhibition efficiency of ON2 and ON3 on the PCSK9 gene;
[0377] 2) A modified nucleoside monomer is embedded in the sixth position of the 5' end of the seed region of the antisense oligonucleotide chain, for example, siRNA double strands ON1, ON5, ON11, ON13, wherein the YK-NUM-104 phosphoramidite monomer is embedded in the corresponding position of the ON5 antisense chain, the (S)-GNA-C phosphoramidite monomer is embedded in the position of ON11, and the phosphoramidite monomer of the prior art compound 29 is embedded in the position of ON13. The inhibition efficiency of ON1 on the PCSK9 gene is 88.6%; the inhibition efficiency of ON5 on the PCSK9 gene is 81.5%, which is 9.0% higher than ON11, 3.2% higher than ON13, and 7.0% lower than ON1; the inhibition efficiency of ON11 on the PCSK9 gene is 72.5%, which is 14.1% lower than ON1, and 9.0% lower than ON5; the inhibition efficiency of ON13 on the PCSK9 gene is 78.3%, which is 10.3% lower than ON1, and 3.2% lower than ON5. It can be seen that a nucleoside monomer containing different modification groups is embedded in the sixth position of the 5' end of the seed region of the antisense oligonucleotide chain. Compared with ON1, the nucleoside sugar ring at this position is modified with 2'-F, and the nucleoside at the corresponding position of ON5 is modified with 2'-CH2OCH3; the nucleoside at the corresponding position of ON13 is modified with 2'-CH2OC(O)CH3 of the prior art; ON11 is modified with ethylene glycol nucleoside with a large change in sugar ring structure. This shows that ON5 using the modified YK-NUM-104 phosphoramidite monomer has a significantly improved inhibition efficiency of the PCSK9 gene compared with ON11 and ON13 of the prior art.
[0378] 3) A modified nucleoside monomer is embedded in the seventh position of the 5' end of the seed region of the antisense oligonucleotide chain, for example, in the siRNA double-stranded ON1, ON4, ON6, ON7, ON8, ON9, ON10, ON12, ON14, ON15, a YK-NUM-103 phosphoramidite monomer is embedded in the corresponding position of the ON4 antisense chain, a YK-NUM-105 phosphoramidite monomer is embedded in the corresponding position of the ON6 antisense chain, and a YK-NUM-106 phosphoramidite monomer is embedded in the corresponding position of the ON7 antisense chain , the corresponding position of the ON8 antisense chain is embedded with a YK-NUM-107 phosphoramidite monomer, the corresponding position of the ON9 antisense chain is embedded with a YK-NUM-108 phosphoramidite monomer, the corresponding position of the ON10 antisense chain is embedded with a YK-NUM-109 phosphoramidite monomer, the corresponding position of the ON12 antisense chain is embedded with a (S)-GNA-U phosphoramidite monomer, the corresponding position of the ON14 antisense chain is embedded with a NA0133 phosphoramidite monomer, and the corresponding position of the ON15 antisense chain is embedded with a compound 18c phosphoramidite monomer.The inhibition efficiency of ON1 on PCSK9 gene was 88.6%; the inhibition efficiency of ON4 on PCSK9 gene was 85.7%, which was 2.9% lower than ON1, 2.4% higher than ON12, 33.5% higher than ON14, and 18.8% higher than ON15; the inhibition efficiency of ON6 on PCSK9 gene was 86.4%, which was 2.2% lower than ON1, 3.1% higher than ON12, 34.2% higher than ON14, and 19.5% higher than ON15; the inhibition efficiency of ON7 on PCSK9 gene was 86.2%, which was 2.4% lower than ON1, 2.9% higher than ON12, 34.0% higher than ON14, and 19.3% higher than ON15; the inhibition efficiency of ON8 on PCSK9 gene was 87.1%, which was 1.5% lower than ON1, 3.8% higher than ON12, and 19.5% higher than ON15. ON14 increased by 34.9%, which was 20.2% higher than ON15; ON9 had an inhibitory efficiency of 79.2% on PCSK9 gene, which was 9.4% lower than ON1, 5.1% lower than ON12, 27.0% higher than ON14, and 12.3% higher than ON15; ON10 had an inhibitory efficiency of 81.5% on PCSK9 gene, which was 7.1% lower than ON1, 2.8% lower than ON12, 29.3% higher than ON14, and 14.6% higher than ON15; it can be seen that nucleoside monomers containing different modification groups were embedded in the seventh position of the 5' end of the seed region of the antisense oligonucleotide chain. Compared with ON1, the nucleoside sugar ring at this position was modified with 2'-OCH3, and the corresponding position of ON4 was modified with 2'-CH2OCH3; the nucleoside at the corresponding position of ON6 was modified with 2'-CH2F; the nucleoside at the corresponding position of ON7 was modified with 2'- C(O)NHCH2CH2OCH3 modification; the nucleoside at the corresponding position of ON8 is modified with 2'- C(O)N(CH2CH3)2; the nucleoside at the corresponding position of ON9 is modified with 2'- CH2NHC(O)CH3; the nucleoside at the corresponding position of ON10 is modified with 2'- C(O)NHCH2CH3; ON12 is modified with ethylene glycol nucleoside with a large change in sugar ring structure; the nucleoside at the corresponding position of ON14 is modified with the existing technology 2'-CH2O (CH2). 15 CH3 modification; the nucleoside at the corresponding position of ON15 is modified by the prior art 2'- CH2NHC(O)CF3. Table 4 shows that the specific position of the antisense chain in ON4, ON6, ON7, and ON8 (the seventh position from the 5' end of the seed region) adopts the modified nucleoside monomer designed by the present invention, and its inhibition efficiency on the PCSK9 gene exceeds 85%. Compared with ON12, the inhibition efficiency on the PCSK9 gene is significantly improved. Compared with the siRNA chains ON14 and ON15 that introduce the prior art nucleoside monomers (NA0133, 18c) at the specific position of the antisense chain, the inhibition efficiency on the PCSK9 gene is significantly improved.
[0379] Example 6: Inhibitory effect of modified sequences on off-target genes
[0380] In the actual application of siRNA, there are a lot of cases where the expression of non-target mRNA that is only partially complementary to the guide strand (antisense strand) is inhibited. Research by Alnylam has shown that the hepatotoxicity of n-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-coupled siRNA is mainly attributed to the gene inhibition of the wrong target caused by the off-target effect through a recognition mechanism similar to microRNA (miRNA).
[0381] To solve this problem, Alnylam placed a glycol nucleic acid (GNA) modification at position 7 of the antisense strand of siRNA in its latest fifth-generation template design to disrupt the seed region of the antisense strand, thereby significantly reducing off-target effects and alleviating hepatotoxicity. Such modifications can affect the binding of siRNA to non-designed targets through seed region recognition, thereby inhibiting off-target effects.
[0382] In the modified dsRNA of the present invention, at least one nucleotide modified with a 2'-large steric bulk group is included in the seed region of the antisense strand (i.e., within positions 1-9 at the 5'-end of the antisense strand), wherein the steric bulk of the 2'-large steric bulk group in the modified nucleotide is greater than the steric bulk of the 2'-F and 2'-OMe groups. By performing the above-mentioned group modification in the antisense strand seed region, the binding and recognition of the dsRNA antisense strand with the off-target gene can be weakened due to steric hindrance, thereby reducing the off-target effect.

[0411] Table 5 The inhibition efficiency of off-target genes by different modified small interfering oligonucleotide sequences
[0412]
[0413] As can be seen from Table 5, at a concentration of 15 nM, ON1 in the fully modified siRNA chain did not adopt an anti-off-target design (modified nucleosides that reduce the thermal stability of the siRNA double strand were introduced at the seventh position of the 5' end of the antisense oligonucleotide chain seed region), and ON1 had a significant inhibitory effect on the expression of off-target genes PCYOX1-5 and hDSE mRNA in Hep3B cells. For example, the inhibition rate of ON1 on PCYOX1-5 was 46.0%, and the inhibition rate on hDSE was 50.8%. The seventh position of the 5' end of the seed region of ON14 introduced a modified nucleoside in the prior art. After adopting the anti-off-target design, the inhibition rate of ON14 on PCYOX1-5 was 30.6%, which was 15.4% lower than that of ON1; the inhibition rate on hDSE was 35.1%, which was 15.7% lower than that of ON1. After adopting the anti-off-target design, the inhibition rate of off-target genes was significantly reduced, and the anti-off-target efficiency was significantly improved.
[0414] The above-mentioned anti-off-target design is adopted, and the modified nucleoside of the present invention is introduced at the seventh position of the 5' end of the seed region of the antisense oligonucleotide chain. For example, siRNA double-stranded ON4, ON6, ON7, ON8, ON9, ON10, wherein the corresponding position of the ON4 antisense chain is embedded with a YK-NUM-103 phosphoramidite monomer, the corresponding position of the ON6 antisense chain is embedded with a YK-NUM-105 phosphoramidite monomer, the corresponding position of the ON7 antisense chain is embedded with a YK-NUM-106 phosphoramidite monomer, the corresponding position of the ON8 antisense chain is embedded with a YK-NUM-107 phosphoramidite monomer, the corresponding position of the ON9 antisense chain is embedded with a YK-NUM-108 phosphoramidite monomer, and the corresponding position of the ON10 antisense chain is embedded with a YK-NUM-109 phosphoramidite monomer. The inhibition efficiency of ON4 on PCYOX1-5 and hDSE genes were 1.9% and 20.0%, respectively, which were 44.1% and 30.8% lower than ON1, and 28.7% and 15.1% lower than ON14; the inhibition efficiency of ON6 on PCYOX1-5 and hDSE genes were 5.0% and 19.6%, respectively, which were 41.0% and 31.2% lower than ON1, and 25.6% and 15.5% lower than ON14; the inhibition efficiency of ON7 on PCYOX1-5 and hDSE genes were 4.8% and 12.3%, respectively, which were 41.2% and 38.5% lower than ON1, and 25.8% and 22.8% lower than ON14; The inhibition efficiency of N8 on PCYOX1-5 and hDSE genes was 6.1% and 19.3%, respectively, which was 39.9% and 31.5% lower than that of ON1, and 24.5% and 15.8% lower than that of ON14; the inhibition efficiency of ON9 on PCYOX1-5 and hDSE genes was 14.2% and 20.6%, respectively, which was 31.8% and 30.2% lower than that of ON1, and 16.4% and 14.5% lower than that of ON14; the inhibition efficiency of ON10 on PCYOX1-5 and hDSE genes was 18.7% and 25.1%, respectively, which was 27.3% and 25.7% lower than that of ON1, and 11.9% and 10.0% lower than that of ON14. The anti-off-target design of the seventh position at the 5' end of the seed region of the antisense oligonucleotide chain is introduced into the modified nucleoside monomer of the present invention, so that the anti-off-target efficiency of the modified siRNA double-stranded ON4, ON6, ON7, ON8, ON9, and ON10 is significantly improved compared with ON1 which does not adopt the anti-off-target design. Compared with ON14 using the existing anti-off-target technology, ON4, ON6, ON7, and ON8 using the modified nucleosides of the present invention show better anti-off-target efficiency for PCYOX1-5 and hDSE genes.
[0415] In summary, the present invention has monomers with different functional groups modified to embed into antisense oligonucleotide chains without affecting the double-stranded formation ability of the complementary RNA chain (ssRNA), and has a complete double-stranded structure, and the melting temperature of the modified siRNA double-stranded is reduced, that is, the thermodynamic stability is reduced. The siRNA double-stranded using the modified nucleoside monomer of the present invention has a significant inhibitory effect on the expression of the target gene PCSK9 mRNA. Through the anti-off-target design, the modified nucleoside monomer of the present invention is introduced into the seventh position of the 5' end of the seed region of the antisense oligonucleotide chain, which shows a better anti-off-target performance compared with the existing anti-off-target technology.
