Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of biomedicine, specifically to a GalNAc compound with a ribocyclic structure, and the GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides prepared therefrom can achieve efficient liver-targeted delivery. Background Technology
[0002] Nucleic acid drugs, especially oligonucleotide drugs, are widely used due to their simple synthesis and high activity. Oligonucleotide drugs typically include antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), small interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and nucleic acid aptamers.
[0003] Oligonucleotides are a class of short DNA or RNA molecules, oligomers, that readily bind in a sequence-specific manner to their complementary oligonucleotides, DNA, or RNA to form double strands, or less commonly, higher-order hybrids. This fundamental characteristic makes oligonucleotides widely applicable in gene sequencing, targeted gene therapy research, and medicine. These small fragments of nucleic acids can be manufactured into single-stranded molecules with any specified sequence. In nature, oligonucleotides are typically small RNA molecules that play a role in gene expression regulation, or degradation intermediates derived from the breakdown of larger nucleic acid molecules.
[0004] RNA interference is a natural defense mechanism against foreign genes. siRNA can knock out target genes by recognizing specific sequences and breaking down target mRNA.
[0005] N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) is a ligand that binds to the desialization glycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) on the liver surface. The desialization glycoprotein receptor is an endocytic receptor specifically expressed on the surface of hepatocytes. In recent years, the use of GalNAc, a high-affinity ligand of ASGPR, as a targeting molecule has led to some progress in the liver-targeted delivery of nucleic acid drugs. For example, Alnilam Pharmaceuticals (… Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported that siRNA based on GalNAc conjugation technology exerted gene silencing activity in mice (Nair JK, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 16958). The article reported that the GalNAc-siRNA conjugate exhibited good delivery activity in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. In in vivo experiments in mice administered subcutaneously, a single dose of ED... 50The optimal dosage was determined to be 1 mg / kg, with a single injection dose of less than 1 mL. In long-term dosing studies, subcutaneous injection once weekly resulted in stable interfering activity for up to 9 months. Studies found that tetrapod and tripod GalNAc compounds exhibited significantly higher affinity for ASGPR than bipod and monopod GalNAc compounds.
[0006] GalNAc compounds with different structures exhibit significantly different nucleic acid delivery effects. To improve the delivery of liver-targeted drugs, such as AGT inhibitors, anti-chronic hepatitis B drugs, and lipid-lowering drugs, there is a need in this field to develop new GalNAc compounds.

The mixture was cooled to 0 °C, and then G1-2 (121.7 g, 865.1 mmol) was slowly added dropwise while maintaining the temperature between 0 and 5 °C. After the addition was complete, the mixture was heated to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. The pH was adjusted to 6–7 by adding 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid after cooling to 0 °C. A saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution (300 mL) was added, and the mixture was shaken and separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (800 mL × 3), and the organic phases were combined. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed by concentration under reduced pressure to obtain a colorless oily crude product G1-3 (105.0 g), which was used directly in the next step. 1HNMR(400MHz,DMSO-d6)δ8.48(t,J=5.6Hz,1H),7.84(dd,J=7.2,1.9Hz,2H),7.56–7.49 (m,1H),7.46(dd,J=8.2,6.5Hz,2H),4.42(s,1H),3.57–3.48(m,4H),3.48–3.38(m,4H). MS(ESI)m / z[M+H] + =210.4.
[0119] Step 2: Synthesis of G1-5
[0120] Dichloromethane (450 mL) was added to compound G1-4 (87.2 g, 274.0 mmol), and the mixture was stirred until dissolved. 3A molecular sieve (80.0 g) was added, and the mixture was cooled to 0 °C. Boron trifluoride diethyl ether (116.9 g, 823.7 mmol) was then added, followed by stirring for 20 min. A dichloromethane solution of G1-3 (86.0 g, 411.0 mmol) in 180 mL was added dropwise to the system at 0–5 °C, and the mixture was stirred overnight at 0–5 °C.

[0121] Step 3: Synthesis of G1-6
[0122] G1-5 (150.0 g, 320.9 mol) was dissolved in methanol (1200 mL). The system was cooled to 0 °C, and a methanol solution (300 mL) of sodium methoxide (3.50 g, 64.8 mmol) was added dropwise to the system at 0–5 °C.

After the reaction was complete, purified water (700 mL) was slowly added dropwise to the reaction mixture. After the addition was complete, the mixture was shaken and separated. The organic phase was washed with saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution (700 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent, yielding a crude product. This crude product was slurried with n-heptane (700 mL), filtered, and the filter cake was collected and dried under vacuum to give a white solid G1-7 (74.3 g, 127.3 mmol), with a yield of 63.0%. 1H NMR(400MHz, DMSO-d6)δ8.46(t,J=5.6Hz,1H),7.87–7.80(m,2H),7.56–7.41(m,3H),5.06(d,J=3.9Hz,1 H), 4.76 (s, 1H), 4.30 (dd, J = 6.9, 4.4Hz, 1H), 3.92–3.75 (m, 4H), 3.67–3.36 (m, 8H), 1.08–0.84 (m, 28H).

The mixture was cooled to 0 °C, and trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroboric acid (35.5 g, 240.0 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 10 min, then heated to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. After the reaction was complete, purified water (5.4 mL) was added to quench the reaction, and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was collected and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. Then, n-heptane (700 mL) was added and stirred for 20 min. The mixture was filtered again, and the filtrate was collected.

When a general CPG solid support was used, the GalNAc phosphorous amide compound was repeated 3 times in the synthesis sequence; when the GalNAc solid support synthesized in Example 1 was used, the GalNAc phosphorous amide compound was repeated 2 times in the synthesis sequence, so that all conjugates 1-6 were conjugated with 3 GalNAc compounds.
[0265] 2. Preparation of GalNAc-free siRNA antisense strands
[0266] The antisense strand of siRNA was synthesized using the same method as for synthesizing the sense strand of siRNA, with a universal CPG solid-phase carrier. The synthesis scale of each antisense strand complementary to the sense strand was 1 μmol.
[0267] 3. Preparation of conjugated oligonucleotides
[0268] The GalNAc-conjugated siRNA sense and antisense strands were mixed at a 1:1 ratio according to their UV absorption content, heated to 95℃ for 3 minutes, and then cooled to room temperature to form double strands. The resulting double-stranded solution was characterized by HPLC to ensure product purity. After passing the purity test, the content was determined using a microplate reader, and the product was lyophilized to obtain a solid powder for later storage. The sequences and molecular weights of the obtained GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides are shown in Table 2.

[0280] Example 3: Inhibitory effect of GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides on AGT protein expression in mouse serum and liver and their effect on hepatic AGT mRNA levels.
[0281] Angiotensinogen (AGT) protein is a secreted protein that is primarily expressed in the liver in the human body. As an upstream protein of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), inhibiting AGT expression will fundamentally suppress the blood pressure-raising effect of the RAAS system, thereby lowering blood pressure.
[0282] In this embodiment, transgenic mice expressing the human AGT gene were used to detect the inhibitory effect of the GalNAc-conjugated double-stranded siRNA prepared in Example 2 on serum AGT protein at different time points using the ELISA method, and the inhibitory effect on AGT mRNA levels in the liver was also detected.

[0331] 3. Experimental Results
[0332] The specific experimental results are shown in Tables 6-1, 6-2 and 7.
[0333] (1) Inhibition rate of serum AGT protein level
[0334] Table 6-1 Inhibition rate of different GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides on serum AGT protein levels
[0335]
[0336]
[0337] Table 6-2 Inhibition rate of different GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides on serum AGT protein levels
[0338]
[0339] As shown in Table 6, these GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides can consistently and significantly inhibit AGT protein levels in mouse serum. For example, D579-DV25PG503 achieved inhibition rates of 67.91%, 77.15%, 73.25%, 74.12%, and 69.50% on days 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35, respectively. These experimental results demonstrate that conjugating the GalNAc compound of this application with the oligonucleotide sequence D579-DV25P can efficiently deliver it to the animal liver and significantly inhibit AGT gene expression.
[0340] Compared to siRNA conjugates prepared from existing GalNAc compounds YK-GAL-325 and L96, the GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides prepared from the GalNAc compounds of this application significantly enhanced the inhibition rate of AGT protein levels in serum. For example, the inhibition rate of the D579-DV25PG502 group was 12.22% higher than that of the D579-DV25PL96 group on day 7, and the inhibition rate of the D579-DV25PG504 group was 14.48% higher than that of the D579-DV25PL96 group on day 35.
[0341] (2) Inhibition rate of AGT mRNA levels in the liver
[0342] Table 7 shows the inhibition rate of hepatic AGT mRNA levels in hAGT transgenic mice after 35 days of administration.
[0343]
[0344] As shown in Table 7, these GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides can significantly and persistently inhibit the level of AGT mRNA in mouse liver, with the D579-DV25PG504 group exhibiting the highest inhibition rate of 74.64%. The experimental results indicate that the oligonucleotide sequence D579-DV25P conjugated with the GalNAc compound of this application can be efficiently delivered to the animal liver and significantly inhibit the level of AGT mRNA in the liver.
[0345] Compared with siRNA conjugates prepared from existing GalNAc compounds YK-GAL-325 and L96, the GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides prepared from the GalNAc compounds of this application significantly enhanced the inhibition rate of AGT mRNA levels in mouse liver. For example, the inhibition rate of the D579-DV25PG504 group was 8.39% and 13.70% higher than that of the D579-DV25PG325 group and the D579-DV25PL96 group, respectively.
[0346] Compared with the prior art GalNAc compounds YK-GAL-325 and L96, the GalNAc compound of this application, when coupled with the oligonucleotide sequence D579-DV25P, significantly improves the efficiency of oligonucleotide delivery to the liver compared with coupling with YK-GAL-325 and L96. This indicates that the efficiency of oligonucleotide delivery cannot be simply inferred from the chemical structure of the GalNAc compound.
[0347] This application designs a series of novel GalNAc compounds, such as YK-GAL-501, YK-GAL-502, YK-GAL-503, YK-GAL-504 and YK-GAL-505. The GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides prepared from these compounds can achieve highly efficient liver-targeted delivery, with significantly improved activity compared to representative GalNAc compounds in the prior art.
[0348] 1. The GalNAc compound of this application has a completely different chemical structure compared with the prior art GalNAc compounds, and is a novel GalNAc compound. The GalNAc compound designed in this application introduces a ribose ring structure in the linker arm and introduces an oxygen or sulfur atom at the 1' position of the ribose ring.
[0349] 2. The GalNAc compound designed in this application, conjugated with the oligonucleotide sequence D579-DV25P, can efficiently deliver the oligonucleotide to the animal liver and sustainably and significantly inhibit serum AGT protein expression and liver mRNA levels. For example, D579-DV25PG501 achieved an inhibition rate of 66.21%, 75.63%, and 75.24% on serum AGT protein at days 7, 14, and 28, respectively; and an inhibition rate of 71.29% on liver AGT mRNA levels after 35 days of administration.
[0350] 3. Compared with existing GalNAc compounds (such as L96 and YK-GAL-325), the GalNAc-conjugated oligonucleotides prepared from the GalNAc compounds designed in this application significantly enhance the inhibition rate of AGT protein expression in mouse serum and significantly enhance the inhibition rate of AGT mRNA levels in mouse liver.
[0351] For example, compared with the L96-conjugated oligonucleotide D579-DV25PL96, the YK-GAL-503-conjugated oligonucleotide D579-DV25PG503 showed a 10.89% higher inhibition rate of AGT protein expression in mouse serum on day 7 and a 12.25% higher inhibition rate of AGT mRNA levels in mouse liver on day 35. This indicates that the GalNAc compound designed in this application can significantly improve delivery efficiency, enhance drug bioavailability, and improve drug pharmacokinetic properties, thereby exerting better efficacy.
[0352] 4. This application found that the oligonucleotides conjugated with GalNAc prepared from different GalNAc compounds with similar structures are likely to have significant differences in the inhibition rate of AGT protein expression in mouse serum and the inhibition rate of AGT mRNA level in mouse liver, indicating that the delivery efficiency of oligonucleotides is difficult to accurately infer from the chemical structure of GalNAc compounds.
[0353] For example, compared to L96, YK-GAL-503 differs only in that the proline structure in the L96 backbone is replaced with a ribocyclic structure; all other structures are identical. However, compared to the L96-conjugated oligonucleotide D579-DV25PL96, the YK-GAL-503-conjugated oligonucleotide D579-DV25PG503 showed a 10.89% increase in the inhibition rate of AGT protein expression in mouse serum after 7 days of administration, and a 12.25% increase in the inhibition rate of AGT mRNA levels in mouse liver after 35 days. Compared to YK-GAL-325, YK-GAL-503 differs only in that the linker chain between the ribocyclic ring and GalNAc in YK-GAL-325 is shortened; all other structures are identical. However, compared with the oligonucleotide conjugated with YK-GAL-325, the oligonucleotide conjugated with YK-GAL-503 increased the inhibition rate of AGT protein expression in mouse serum by 7.85% after 7 days of administration and increased the inhibition rate of AGT mRNA level in mouse liver by 6.94% after 35 days.
