Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of multi-charged ionizable lipid compounds, in particular to a multi-charged ionizable lipid compound and a lipid composition thereof. Background Art

[0002] Gene therapy refers to the introduction of exogenous normal genes into target cells to correct or compensate for diseases caused by gene defects and abnormalities to achieve the purpose of treatment. That is, through gene transfer technology, exogenous genes are inserted into appropriate receptor cells of patients so that the products produced by exogenous genes can treat certain diseases. As a new method of disease treatment combining modern medicine and molecular biology, gene therapy has gradually occupied an important position in the medical field. At present, the treatment of "expressing a certain gene" and "expressing a certain protein" is mainly achieved through the introduction of plasmid DNA and mRNA, and the treatment of "inhibiting a certain gene" is mainly achieved through siRNA or microRNA (microRNA, miRNA) (i.e. RNAi technology).

[0003] Genes have great therapeutic potential in regulating protein expression in vivo, but the efficiency of naked genes being internalized by cells is extremely low, and they are easily cleared by the kidneys or rapidly degraded by enzymes in the body during delivery in vivo, which greatly reduces their actual therapeutic effect. Since the first clinical studies on therapeutic genes began in the 2000s, the design of gene molecules and the research on their delivery methods have made significant progress. However, gene therapy still faces several challenges, including low cell permeability and high sensitivity to degradation of certain nucleic acid molecules (including RNA). Therefore, it is necessary to develop more lipid compounds and compositions capable of delivering genes and related preparation methods to promote the delivery of various nucleic acid molecules outside or inside cells for treatment and / or prevention purposes.

ATP7B knockout hepatocytes (1x104 cells / well) were evenly seeded in a 96-well plate. The corresponding concentration of nanolipid particles was added to each well and cultured for 48 hours. Then, CCK-8 solution (10 μL / well) was added and cultured for 4 h. The absorbance (OD) at 450 nm was measured by an enzyme reader. The experiment was repeated 5 times, and the cell survival rate of each group was calculated according to the following formula: Cell survival rate (100%) = 100% × (ODtreated - ODblank) / (ODcontrol - ODblank); Among them, ODtreated is the OD value of cells treated with nanolipid particles, ODcontrol is the OD value of normal cells, and ODblank is the OD value of CCK-8 solution. The results are shown in Figure 3 shown.

[0072] In vitro cell proliferation assay of nanolipid particles: The CCK-8 method was used to test the effects of different nanolipid particles at different concentrations on the proliferation of ATP7B-knockout hepatocytes; ATP7B knockout hepatocytes (1x104 cells / well) in the logarithmic growth phase were evenly inoculated into a 96-well plate, each well contained 200 μL of complete medium, and cultured statically; Then, the corresponding concentration of nanolipid particles was added to each well and cultured for 48 h; then CCK-8 solution (10 μL / well) was added and cultured for 4 h; The absorbance value (OD) at 450 nm was measured by an enzyme-labeled instrument; the experiment was repeated 5 times, and the cell survival rate of each group was calculated according to the following formula: Cell survival rate (100%) = 100% × (ODtreated - ODblank) / (ODcontrol - ODblank); Among them, ODtreated is the OD value of cells treated with nanolipid particles, ODcontrol is the OD value of normal cells, and ODblank is the OD value of CCK-8 solution. The results are shown in Figure 4 shown.

[0073] The results showed that the toxicity of nanolipid particles prepared from different ionizable lipid compounds to cells was similar, and with the increase of the concentration of nanolipid particles, the cells showed slight toxicity.

[0074] In vivo testing of nanolipid particles: Nanolipid particles were systemically administered to 6-8 week old male balb / c mice with ATP7B knockout gene at a dose of 0.5 mg / kg via tail vein injection. The mice were euthanized 6 h after administration, and liver tissues were obtained. After tissue grinding, the tissues were centrifuged at 10000 g for 10 min at 4 °C to separate the tissue supernatant, which was quickly frozen and stored at -80 °C for analysis. ELSA analysis was performed using a commercially available kit, and the ATP7B expression levels (ng / mL) measured in each test group are shown in Table 5 ; Table 5 Nanolipid particles Ionizable lipids used ATP7B expression level (ng / mL) 1 Compound 1 420 2 Compound 2 409 3 Compound 3 412.7 4 Compound 4 330.2 5 Compound 5 339.5 6 Compound 6 448.7 7 Compound 7 391 8 Compound 8 477.5 9 Compound 9 526.8 10 Compound 10 469.7 11 Compound 11 414.9 12 Compound 12 1017.9 13 Compound 13 641.4 14 Compound 14 445.7 15 Compound 15 474.5 16 Compound 16 648.3 17 Compound 17 482.1 18 Compound 18 508 19 Compound 19 377.9 20 Compound 20 622.7 21 Compound 21 426.2 22 Compound 22 537.3 23 Compound 23 404 24 Compound 24 453.9 25 Compound 25 414.1 26 Compound 26 427.4 27 Compound 27 626.8 28 Compound 28 1035.9 29 Compound 29 946.9 30 Compound 30 936.6 31 Compound 31 1088.3 32 Compound 32 781.4 33 Compound 33 725.2 34 Compound 34 651.7 35 Compound 35 454.9 36 Compound 36 547 37 Compound 37 502.7 38 Compound 38 515.5 39 Compound 39 225.8 ; The above results prove that the nanolipid particles prepared by the ionizable lipids of this patent can carry MusATP7B mRNA into the liver tissue of mice and express it.
