Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and in particular relates to a liver-targeted compound and a conjugate thereof, a preparation method and use thereof. Background Art
[0002] Oligonucleotides and their analogs have been shown to be effective methods for treating many different types of diseases. Oligonucleotides and their analogs include small interfering RNA (siRNA), antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) and microRNA (miRNA), which mainly degrade specific messenger RNA (mRNA) through complementary pairing, thereby downregulating the expression of target genes. However, how to effectively deliver oligonucleotides to specific tissues in patients remains a challenge. The asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) is an endocytic receptor highly expressed on the surface of hepatocytes. This receptor is hardly found in extrahepatic cells and is an ideal approach for hepatocyte-targeted therapy. The mammalian asialoglycoprotein receptor consists of two homologous subtypes, H1 and H2, of which the trimer consisting of two H1s and one H2 is the most common of all identified ASGP-R structures. The literature reports that many ligands can deliver oligonucleotides to the liver by binding to the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R). Among them, N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) showed the highest affinity, and the corresponding GalNAc-siRNA conjugates have been used by Alnylam pharmaceuticals, Inc. in drugs such as Givosiran, Lumasiran and Inclisiran.

[0146] Conjugate
[0147] The present invention provides a conjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising a liver targeting structure as described herein, an isomer or isotopic variant thereof and a nucleic acid molecule. The nucleic acid molecule is an RNA molecule. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule is an oligonucleotide. The connection between the liver targeting structure and the biomolecule can be connected by a covalent bond well known in the art according to the type of the biomolecule. For example, the liver targeting structure and the nucleic acid molecule can be covalently connected through a phosphate group.
[0148] RNA molecules suitable for use herein can be various types of oligonucleotides and analogs thereof having therapeutic or prophylactic activity. Herein, the term "oligonucleotide" has a well-known meaning herein, generally referring to a molecule comprising two or more covalently linked nucleosides. The length of an oligonucleotide is generally less than 100 nucleotides. An oligonucleotide can be single-stranded or double-stranded. An oligonucleotide may or may not have a duplex region. Exemplary oligonucleotides include, but are not limited to, small interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA (miRNA), short hairpin RNA (shRNA), dicer substrate interfering RNA (dsiRNA), antisense oligonucleotides, short siRNA or single-stranded siRNA. In some embodiments, a double-stranded oligonucleotide is an RNAi oligonucleotide. Oligonucleotides can be prepared using techniques well known in the art.
[0149] Herein, "RNAi oligonucleotide" refers to (a) a double-stranded oligonucleotide having a sense strand and an antisense strand, wherein the antisense strand or a portion of the antisense strand is used by Argonaute 2 (Ago2) endonuclease to cleave target mRNA, or (b) a single-stranded oligonucleotide having a single antisense strand, wherein the antisense strand or a portion of the antisense strand is used by Ago2 endonuclease to cleave target mRNA. RNAi oligonucleotides mediate targeted cleavage of RNA transcripts through the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) pathway.
[0150] Herein, "antisense strand" comprises a region that is completely, fully or substantially complementary to the target sequence, and "sense strand" comprises a region that is completely, fully or substantially complementary to the region of the antisense strand. The term "complementary region" refers to a region on the antisense strand that is completely, fully or substantially complementary to the target mRNA sequence. In the case where the complementary region is not completely complementary to the target sequence, the mismatch can be located in the interior or terminal region of the molecule. Typically, the most tolerant mismatch is located in the terminal region, for example, within 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 nucleotides at the 5' and / or 3' ends. The antisense strand portion that is most sensitive to mismatch is referred to as a "seed region". The term "complementary" refers to the ability of a polynucleotide to hybridize with another polynucleotide under certain conditions, such as stringent conditions. For example, stringent conditions may include 400mM NaCl, 40mM PIPES pH 6.4, 1mM EDTA at 50°C or 70°C for 12-16 hours. The "complementary" sequence may also include or be completely formed from non-Watson-Crick base pairs and / or base pairs formed from non-natural and modified nucleotides. Such non-Watson-Crick base pairs include, but are not limited to, G:U wobble base pairing or Hoogstein base pairing.
[0151] Herein, siRNA refers to small interfering ribonucleic acid, which is a class of double-stranded RNA molecules, also referred to as short interfering RNA or silencing RNA. siRNA generally comprises a sense strand and an antisense strand, wherein the length of each strand is 17-30 nucleotides, typically 19-25 nucleotides, wherein the antisense strand is complementary (e.g., completely complementary) to the target nucleic acid (specifically a mature mRNA sequence), and the sense strand is complementary to the antisense strand, so that the sense strand and the antisense strand form a duplex or duplex region. The siRNA strand may form a flat-ended duplex, or the 3' ends of the sense and antisense strands may form a 3' overhang. In certain embodiments, both the sense strand and the antisense strand have a 3' overhang of 2 nucleotides. Once inside the cell, the antisense strand is incorporated into the RISC complex, which mediates target degradation or target inhibition of the target nucleic acid.
[0152] The siRNA may comprise modified nucleotides. In some embodiments, all nucleotides of the siRNA strand may be modified.
[0153] Herein, the modification in the modified nucleotide can be directed to the modification of base, sugar group and / or phosphate group. In some embodiments, the modified base can be selected from isocytosine, pseudoisocytosine, 5-methylcytosine, 5-thiazole-cytosine, 5-propynyl-cytosine, 5-propynyl-uracil, 5-bromouracil, 5-thiazole-uracil, 2-thio-uracil, 2'-thio-thymine, inosine, diaminopurine, 6-aminopurine, 2-aminopurine, 2,6-diaminopurine and 2-chloro-6-aminopurine.

[0155] In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide comprises at least one phosphorothioate or methylphosphonate internucleotide linkage.The phosphorothioate or methylphosphonate internucleotide linkage may be at the 3' terminus and / or at the 5' terminus of one or both strands.
[0156] In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence of the antisense strand of the siRNA described herein is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, and the sense strand is complementary to the antisense strand. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence of the sense strand of the siRNA described herein is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.
[0157] In some embodiments, the modifications in the oligonucleotide sequences described herein include 2'-methoxy modification, 2'-fluorine modification, and phosphorothioate linkage between two adjacent nucleotides. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence of the antisense strand of the siRNA described herein is:
[0158] UmsUfsAmUfAmGfAmGfCmAfAmGmAmAfCmAfCmUfGmUfUmsUmsUm,
[0159] The nucleotide sequence of the sense strand is:
[0160] AfsAmsCfAmGfUmGfUmUfCfUmUfGfCmUfCmUfAmUfAmAf;
[0161] Among them, the lowercase letter m indicates that the nucleotide adjacent to the left of the letter m is a 2′-methoxy-modified nucleotide; the lowercase letter f indicates that the nucleotide adjacent to the left of the letter f is a 2′-fluorine-modified nucleotide; the lowercase letter s indicates that the connection between the two nucleotides adjacent to the left and right of the letter s is a phosphorothioate connection.
[0162] Herein, "antisense oligonucleotide" is an oligonucleotide that can regulate the expression of a target gene by hybridizing with a target nucleic acid, particularly with an adjacent sequence on the target nucleic acid. Antisense oligonucleotides are not substantially double-stranded and are therefore not siRNA or shRNA. Preferably, antisense oligonucleotides do not include RNA nucleosides because this will reduce nuclease resistance. Antisense oligonucleotides may include one or more modified nucleosides or nucleotides, such as 2' sugar-modified nucleosides. Preferably, unmodified nucleosides are DNA nucleosides.
[0163] Herein, the target nucleic acid may be a target nucleic acid related to the occurrence and development of a disease well known in the art. The target nucleic acid may be a gene, RNA, mRNA or cDNA sequence.
[0164] An exemplary target nucleic acid is the TTR gene, which is a nucleic acid encoding a thyroid transporter protein, whose mutation causes hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis). The disease is predominantly male (the male-to-female ratio is approximately 3:1), and diagnosis usually occurs around the age of 70. The main manifestations of hATTR amyloidosis are polyneuropathy and cardiomyopathy. More than 95% of TTR in the circulation comes from the liver. The main physiological role of TTR is to act as a carrier of retinol (also known as vitamin A), forming a binding protein (RBP): vitamin A complex with retinol. TTR also acts as a minor carrier of thyroxine (T4). Mutations in the TTR gene cause instability of the tetrameric protein, with TTR subunits dissociating into dimers and individual mutants and wild-type monomers, followed by misfolding. These misfolded TTR monomers can self-assemble into oligomers and form amyloid fibrils and plaques in the extracellular space of various tissues, including the peripheral nervous system, heart, gastrointestinal tract, kidney, central nervous system (CNS), and eye, leading to cellular damage and organ dysfunction with corresponding clinical manifestations.
[0165] For in vivo or in vitro applications, the oligonucleotides of the invention are generally capable of inhibiting the expression of a TTR target nucleic acid in a cell. The contiguous sequence of nucleobases of the oligonucleotides of the invention are generally complementary to the TTR target nucleic acid, as measured over the length of the entire oligonucleotide, optionally except for one or two mismatches, and optionally excluding nucleotide-based linkers that may link the oligonucleotide to optional functional groups, such as conjugates or other non-complementary terminal nucleotides (e.g., region D' or D").
[0166] Preparation of compounds of formula I
[0167] The compounds of Formula I described herein can be prepared by using the following exemplary reaction schemes and selecting appropriate reaction conditions with reference to the reactions disclosed in the Examples. The definitions of the various groups in the formula are as described above.
[0168]
[0169] The synthesis of the compounds in some embodiments can be carried out using commercially available 5-chloromethyl-2,4-dihydro[1,2,4]triazol-3-one as a starting material, first converting the chloro group into a piperazine or azide group, and then using sodium hydride as a base to alkylate the halogenated chain to obtain a trisubstituted triazolone. The trisubstituted triazolone first exposes the active group, condenses with the ligand E, and then connects with a linker to obtain the compound of formula I.
[0170] Preparation of conjugates
[0171] The conjugates herein can be synthesized by phosphoramidite solid phase synthesis methods well known in the art. According to the nucleotide types and sequence of the oligonucleotides in the conjugates, the nucleoside monomers are sequentially connected in the 3' to 5' direction, and the connection of each nucleoside monomer must go through an identical cycle, including four steps of deprotection, coupling, capping, oxidation or sulfurization.
[0172] In the phosphoramidite solid phase synthesis method, the liver targeting structure of the present invention can be connected to the CPG solid phase carrier, and the nucleoside monomers are sequentially connected from 3' to 5' according to the sequence of the oligonucleotide. Usually, the sense strand or antisense strand of the oligonucleotide is connected to the liver targeting structure.
[0173] In some specific embodiments, the acetonitrile solution of the nucleoside monomer is prepared, and the concentration thereof may be 0.01-0.10 mol / L.
[0174] In the deprotection step, the deprotection reagent can be selected from one or more of trifluoroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, and monochloroacetic acid. In some embodiments, the deprotection reagent is dichloroacetic acid. The deprotection reagent solvent can be dissolved in an appropriate organic solvent. A suitable organic solvent is dichloromethane. In some embodiments, a dichloromethane solution of the deprotection reagent is used for deprotection, and the concentration of the deprotection reagent in the solution can be 1 to 5% (v / v). Typically, 1 to 5 deprotection treatments can be performed, and the reaction time for each treatment can be 20 to 40 seconds.
[0175] Herein, the coupling agent used in the coupling step can be selected from one or more of 1H-tetrazole, 5-ethylthio 1H-tetrazole and 5-benzylthio 1H-tetrazole. In some embodiments, the coupling agent is 5-ethylthio 1H-tetrazole. The coupling agent can be dissolved in a suitable organic solvent. In some embodiments, the organic solvent is acetonitrile. In some embodiments, an acetonitrile solution of the coupling agent is used for coupling, and the concentration of the coupling agent in the solution can be 0.1 to 0.5 mol / L. The coupling reaction can be carried out 1 to 5 times, and the reaction time of each time can be 1 to 5 minutes. The coupling reaction can be carried out in an organic solvent. Suitable organic solvents include, but are not limited to, one or more of anhydrous acetonitrile, anhydrous DMF and anhydrous dichloromethane. In some embodiments, the organic solvent is anhydrous acetonitrile.
[0176] Herein, the capping step can be performed in an acetic anhydride-acetonitrile solution and an N-methylimidazole / pyridine / acetonitrile solution. In the acetic anhydride-acetonitrile solution, the concentration of acetic anhydride can be 10 to 30% (v / v). In the N-methylimidazole / pyridine / acetonitrile solution, the volume concentration of N-methylimidazole can be 15 to 25%, the volume concentration of pyridine can be 25 to 35%, and the volume concentration of acetonitrile can be 45 to 55%. The number of capping can be 1 to 3 times.
[0177] Herein, the oxidation step can use a pyridine / water solution (90 / 10, v / v) of iodine at a concentration of 0.01 to 0.10 mol / L, and the thiolation step can use a 5-imino-1,2,4-dithiazolidine-3-thione / pyridine solution at a concentration of 0.10 to 0.30 mol / L. The thiolation can be performed 1 to 3 times.
[0178] After the last nucleoside is connected, aminolysis is performed. The conjugate can be separated from the solid phase support by aminolysis. In the aminolysis step, concentrated ammonia (e.g., a concentration of 25-28%) can be used to mix with the reaction product, and then reacted at a temperature of 60-80° C. for 1-8 hours, and filtered to obtain a filtrate containing the conjugate. The filtrate can be concentrated to obtain a crude product.
[0179] When there is at least one 2′-TBDMS protection on the synthesized nucleotide sequence, the 2′-TBDMS protection needs to be removed. The reagent used for removal can be triethylamine trihydrofluoride. In some embodiments, the filtrate or crude product is contacted with N-methylimidazole / triethylamine hydrofluoride / triethylamine solution and reacted at 60 to 70° C. for 1 to 4 hours. In the N-methylimidazole / triethylamine hydrofluoride / triethylamine solution, the volume proportions of N-methylimidazole, triethylamine hydrofluoride and triethylamine can be 55 to 65%, 25 to 35% and 35 to 45%, respectively.
[0180] After deprotection, purification and desalting can be performed. The purification and desalting methods known in the art can be used. For example, a preparative ion chromatography purification column can be used to elute with a gradient of NaBr or NaCl to purify the nucleic acid; after the products are collected and combined, a reverse phase chromatography purification column can be used for desalting. The fractions with a purity greater than 95% are collected and concentrated to dryness.
[0181] The above method can be used to prepare the sense chain and the antisense chain respectively, and then the sense chain and the antisense chain are mixed and annealed to prepare the conjugate of the present invention. Usually, the sense chain and the antisense chain are dissolved in PBS solution respectively, and then the PBS solutions of the two are mixed and annealed. The mixing molar ratio of the sense chain and the antisense chain can be 1 to 1.2:1, preferably 1.1 to 1.2:1. Annealing can be carried out at 83 to 87°C, and the annealing time can be 3 to 5 minutes. After the annealing is completed, it can be naturally cooled to room temperature and can be freeze-dried as needed.

According to the nucleotide types and sequence of the oligonucleotides, the nucleoside monomers are sequentially connected from 3' to 5', and the connection of each nucleoside monomer must go through an identical cycle, including four steps of deprotection, coupling, capping, oxidation or sulfurization.
[0500] 1. Synthesis of sense strand (SS strand) and antisense strand (AS strand)
[0501] By solid phase phosphoramidite synthesis, using a blank CPG solid phase support or the CPG solid phase support connected with the GalNAc ligand (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L7, L8, L9, L10) of the present invention as the starting cycle, the nucleoside monomers are sequentially connected from 3' to 5' according to the nucleotide sequence, and the connection of each nucleoside monomer must go through an identical cycle, including four steps of deprotection, coupling, capping, oxidation or sulfurization. The synthesis conditions of the oligonucleotide with a synthesis scale of 500nmol are as follows:

[0529] First, C57B / 6j mice were divided into 11 groups, namely, vehicle control group, positive control group, experimental groups 1-9 (using siRNA conjugates numbered 1-9 in Table 4, respectively), 3 mice in each group, injected at a dose of 5 mg / kg (in terms of siRNA content), injection volume 5 ml / kg, single subcutaneous administration, and shaved at the injection site. After 2 days, 7 days and 28 days of administration, the mice were killed, the livers were collected, the livers were ground into homogenate with Trizol at 4°C by a freezing grinder, and the total RNA of the liver tissue was extracted according to standard procedures.
[0530] Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression level of TTR mRNA in mouse liver tissue. TM The extracted total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA according to the instructions of II 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit: 6210A, and then the fluorescent quantitative PCR kit (Thermo TaqMan TM Fast Advanced Master Mix: 4444964) was used to detect the inhibition rate of siRNA on TTR mRNA expression in liver tissue. In this fluorescent quantitative PCR method, the mouse glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) gene was used as an internal reference gene, and primers for mouse TTR and primers for mouse glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were used to detect mTTR and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, respectively. The sequences of the primers are shown in Table 5.

[0533] In this fluorescence quantitative PCR method, siRNA inhibitory activity was measured by the residual amount of TTR gene expression. -△△Ct It means that △△Ct=[(target gene in Ct experimental group-internal reference in Ct experimental group)-(target gene in Ct negative control group-internal reference in Ct negative control group)]. Then, the mRNA inhibition rate was calculated according to the following formula: mRNA inhibition rate=(1-remaining amount of mTTR gene expression)×100%. The inhibition rate experimental results of each experimental group are shown in Table 6.

At the same time, from the trend from 2 days to 28 days, experimental groups 3 and 4 also showed excellent long-term effects.
[0538] The ELISA method was used to detect the content of transthyretin (TTR) in mouse serum. Specifically, the mouse serum of each experimental group was detected using a mouse Prealbumin ELISA kit (abcam, ab282297) according to the instructions, and the OD450nm absorbance was read.
[0539] In the TTR protein detection, the protein inhibition activity is expressed by the relative inhibition rate of TTR protein expression, TTR protein inhibition rate % = [(absorbance of negative control group - absorbance of blank) - (absorbance of experimental group - absorbance of blank)] / (absorbance of negative control group - absorbance of blank) * 100%. The experimental results of the relative inhibition rate of protein expression of each experimental group are shown in Table 7.
