Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of drug delivery, and specifically relates to a pharmaceutical carrier cationic lipid, and in particular to a cationic lipid with a functional group on the side chain, as well as a lipid composition comprising the cationic lipid, a lipid pharmaceutical composition, and a preparation and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In addition to negatively charged mRNA, LNP also contains four components: ionizable cationic lipids, neutral co-lipids, sterol lipids and PEGylated lipids. Among them, cationic lipids interact with negatively charged mRNA through electrostatics. Neutral co-lipids are generally phospholipids, which prevent lipid oxidation or connect ligands to the surface of liposomes or reduce the aggregation of lipid particles. Sterol lipids have strong membrane fusion properties and promote mRNA intracellular uptake and cytoplasmic entry. PEGylated lipids are located on the surface of lipid nanoparticles, improving their hydrophilicity, avoiding rapid clearance by the immune system, preventing particle aggregation, and increasing stability. Among the four lipids used to prepare LNP, the most critical one is the ionizable cationic lipid, which is not ionized or weakly ionized under physiological conditions and is basically electrically neutral, avoiding excessive interference with the biological membrane in the systemic circulation, thereby reducing toxicity. After being taken up by cells, it can ionize under the acidic conditions of the endosomal cavity and carry partial positive charge, increasing membrane permeability. At the same time, the liposomes are degraded or reorganized, promoting the escape of mRNA from the endosomes and releasing the mRNA into the cytoplasm for further translation, thereby completing the delivery and transfection of the mRNA molecules.
[0003] Many LNP drug preparations have been approved for marketing and are used in medical fields such as anticancer, antifungal, analgesia and vaccines. Traditional LNP delivery systems have obvious limitations, such as short blood circulation time, poor in vivo stability, poor drug complexing ability, low efficacy and low transfection rate for nucleic acid drugs. Therefore, whether to introduce functional groups into the polar head of cationic lipids, how to introduce functional groups, and whether cationic lipids work synergistically with other lipids are important entry points for solving these problems, especially for nanoparticle stability and nucleic acid drug transfection effect.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a new cationic lipid and its derivatives. Summary of the invention

The cationic lipid of the present invention has a cationizable nitrogen-branched polar head, and in particular, the polar head has a side chain containing a functional group. The lipid composition prepared by the cationic lipid of the present invention has a high nucleic acid drug complexing ability and good in vivo stability, and can fully exert the efficacy of nucleic acid drugs without causing obvious cytotoxicity, thereby improving the immune or therapeutic effect.

In particular, the combination of a linker and any linking group is still the linking group itself, and the "linking group" in the present invention defaults to containing at least one atom.
[0033] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the terms "include", "comprises", "contains" and similar expressions should be interpreted in an open and inclusive sense as "including but not limited to" or "including without limitation" in this specification and claims.

The preset value is used as the base. For example, the deviations between 11kDa, 12kDa and 10kDa are 10% and 20% respectively, and "about 10kDa" includes but is not limited to 11kDa and 12kDa. For another example, when the molecular weight of a PEG component in the general formula is specified to be about 5kDa, the corresponding molecular weight or number average molecular weight is allowed to vary within the range of 5kDa±10%, that is, 4500 to 5500Da.
[0038] In the present invention, for percentages, when the numerical value given (excluding the percentage sign) is accurate to the Nth decimal place, "about" or "approximately" generally means ±(0.5*0.1 N )% of the numerical range. For example, about 1% means 1±(0.5*0.1 0 )% means the range of 0.5%-1.5%, and about 2.2% means 2.2±(0.5*0.1 1 )% is 2.15%-2.25%, about 2.33% refers to 2.2±(0.5*0.1 2 )% that is, the range of 2.335%-2.325%.

[0040] The divalent linking group in the present invention, unless otherwise specified, can select any of the two connecting ends when connecting to other groups. For example, when an amide bond is used as the divalent linking group between Group A and Group B, and no specific connecting end is specified, it can be GroupA-C(=O)NH-GroupB or GroupA-NHC(=O)-GroupB.
[0041] In the present invention, when the structure of a group is represented, To mark the connection key, such as represents a group -G or G-, Represents the group -CH 3 or CH 3 -.
[0042] In the present invention, when a connecting bond or group derived from a cyclic structure is not marked on a specific ring-forming atom but points to the inside of the ring, it means that the connecting bond can be derived from any suitable ring-forming atom, and when the marked ring is part of a paracyclic or condensed ring structure, the connecting bond can be derived from any suitable ring-forming atom in the paracyclic or condensed ring structure. represents a structure containing any reasonable chemical connection (including but not limited to etc.)
[0043] In the present invention, the range of carbon atoms in a group is marked in the subscript form at the subscript position of C, indicating the number of carbon atoms in the group. Unless otherwise specified, the carbon number does not include the contribution of substituents. For example, C 1-12 means "having 1 to 12 carbon atoms". 1-10 Alkylene refers to any alkylene group with carbon atoms in the range indicated by the subscript, i.e., C 1 , C 2 , C 3 , C 4 , C 5 , C 6 , C 7 , C 8 , C 9 , C 10 Any of the alkylene groups, including but not limited to straight chain C 1-10 Alkylene (e.g. -(CH 2 ) 6 -) and branched C 1-10 Alkylene (e.g. -(CH 2 ) 3 -CH(CH 3 )-(CH 2 ) 3 -).

[0046] In the present invention, the molecular weight of polyethylene glycol and its derivatives refers to the average molecular weight by default, and when there is no special provision, the "average molecular weight" generally refers to the number average molecular weight (M n ). For the number average molecular weight, it can be the molecular weight of a polydisperse block or substance, or the molecular weight of a monodisperse block or substance. Unless otherwise specified, the unit of measurement of molecular weight is Dalton (Da). The molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol chain can also be characterized by the "degree of polymerization", which specifically refers to the number of repeating units (ethylene oxide units). Accordingly, it is preferred to use "average degree of polymerization" or "number average degree of polymerization" to characterize the average value or number average of the number of repeating units.
[0047] In the present invention, the "any suitable" in "any suitable linking group", "any suitable reactive group", etc. refers to a structure that conforms to the basic principles of chemical structure and enables the preparation method of the present invention to be smoothly implemented. The chemical structure described in this way can be regarded as having a clear and definite scope.
[0048] In the present invention, "stable existence" and "degradable" of a group are a pair of relative concepts.
[0049] In the present invention, "degradable" refers to the breaking of the chemical bond of the invention, and the breaking is at least two residues independent of each other. If the structure is changed after chemical changes, but the entire linker is still only a complete linker, then the linker still belongs to the category of "can stably exist". The degradable conditions are not particularly limited, and can be physiological conditions in vivo, or simulated physiological environments or other conditions in vitro, preferably physiological conditions in vivo and simulated physiological conditions in vitro. The physiological conditions are not particularly limited, including but not limited to serum, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, bone, muscle, fat, brain, lymph nodes, small intestine, gonads and other parts, can refer to cells, can also refer to extracellular matrix, can refer to normal physiological tissues, can also refer to pathological physiological tissues (such as tumors, inflammation, etc.). The simulated environment in vitro is not particularly limited, including but not limited to physiological saline, buffer, culture medium, etc. The degradable speed is not particularly limited, for example, it can be rapid degradation under the action of enzymes, or it can refer to slow hydrolysis under physiological conditions, etc. The physiological conditions in vivo include physiological conditions during treatment, such as ultraviolet irradiation, hyperthermia, etc. Including but not limited to being degradable under conditions such as light, heat, low temperature, enzyme, redox, acid, alkalinity, physiological conditions, in vitro simulated environment, etc., preferably degradable under conditions such as light, heat, enzyme, redox, acid, alkalinity, etc. The degradable means that degradation occurs under the stimulation of any of the above conditions. The light conditions include but are not limited to light conditions such as visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared light, near infrared light, and mid-infrared light. The thermal conditions refer to temperatures higher than normal physiological temperatures, usually higher than 37°C, and usually lower than 45°C, preferably lower than 42°C. The low temperature conditions refer to temperatures lower than human physiological temperatures, preferably lower than 25°C, more preferably ≤10°C, specifically refrigeration temperature, freezing temperature, liquid nitrogen treatment temperature, 2-10°C, 4-8°C, 4°C, 0°C, -20±5°C, etc. The enzyme conditions are not particularly limited, and enzymes that can be generated under physiological conditions are all included, such as peptidases, proteases, lyases, etc. The redox conditions are not particularly limited, such as redox transitions and hydrogenation reduction transitions between sulfhydryl groups and disulfide bonds. The acidic and alkaline conditions mainly refer to the pH conditions of normal tissues, diseased tissues, organs or tissues in the treatment period, etc., such as the stomach is acidic, and the tumor site is often acidic. Degradable here means that it can be degraded by metabolic effects in the body (such as physiological effects, such as enzymes, such as oxidation-reduction, etc.), degraded due to microenvironmental stimulation in specific parts of the body (such as acidity, alkalinity), or degraded under clinical treatment stimulation (such as light, heat, and low temperature). It should be noted that some extreme conditions in organic chemistry relative to organisms, such as bond breakage under strong acid, strong base, high temperature (such as above 100°C), are not included in the scope of the degradable conditions of the present invention. For example, although the ether bond can be broken under strong acid conditions such as hydrobromic acid, it is always classified as a linking group that can exist stably in the present invention.
[0050] In the present invention, "can stably exist" means that the linking group can remain as a complete linking group (a linking group is stably covalently connected to its adjacent group), which is defined as "can stably exist", wherein chemical changes that can maintain the integrity of the linking group are allowed to occur. The chemical changes are not particularly limited, including but not limited to isomerization, oxidation, reduction, ionization, protonation, deprotonation, substitution reaction, etc. There are no special restrictions on the conditions for stable existence, including but not limited to light, heat, low temperature, enzymes, redox, neutral, acidic, alkaline, physiological conditions, in vitro simulated environment and other conditions, preferably under light, heat, enzymes, redox, acidic, alkaline and other conditions. Stable existence here means that under the condition of no special stimulation (such as pH conditions of special parts, light, heat, low temperature during treatment, etc.), a stable connection can be maintained in the metabolic cycle in the body, and the molecular weight will not be reduced due to chain scission (as long as the integrity can still be maintained).
[0051] In the present invention, for the same linking group, "can exist stably" is not an absolute concept. For example, an amide bond is much more stable than an ester bond under acidic or alkaline conditions. The "can exist stably" linking group in the present invention includes an amide bond. However, for example, a peptide bond, an amide bond formed by dehydration condensation of an α-carboxyl group of an amino acid molecule and an α-amino group of an amino acid molecule, can be broken when it encounters the action of a specific enzyme, and is therefore also included in the "degradable" linking group. Similarly, carbamate groups, thiocarbamate groups, etc. can be both stable linking groups and degradable linking groups. More generally, carbamate groups, thiocarbamate groups, etc. are more likely to degrade slowly, while non-peptide amide bonds can exist stably during the in vivo circulation process. For example, common ester bonds can be degraded under acidic and alkaline conditions, while ester bonds contained in special structures can also be degraded under ultraviolet light conditions. For example, even if certain chemical bonds can be degraded under the action of specific enzymes, if the circulation pathway does not pass through or basically does not pass through the specific enzyme environment during clinical use (such as in the case of targeted drug administration), the corresponding chemical bonds can still be considered to be stable.
[0052] In the present invention, all compounds of the general formula should be understood to include salts of the compounds of the general formula. The term "salt" used is selected from any one, any two or any combination of two or more of acid addition salts formed with inorganic and / or organic acids and base addition salts formed with inorganic and / or organic bases. When the compound of the general formula contains a basic part (such as but not limited to pyridine or imidazole) and an acidic part (such as but not limited to carboxylic acid), zwitterions ("inner salts") can be formed and included in the term "salt" used. "Salt" can be a pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salt, or it can be other salts.

Both the acid addition salts and the base addition salts are preferably pharmaceutically acceptable salts and are considered equivalent to the free forms of the corresponding compounds of the general formula for the purposes of this disclosure.

For example, CH 3 -NH-CH 3 The -NH- in the -NH- can be called a "secondary amine" or "secondary amino group", where -NH-CH 3 It can also be understood as an amine group substituted with a methyl group.
[0061] In the present invention, "amine group" includes but is not limited to primary amine group, secondary amine group, tertiary amine group and quaternary ammonium ion. t R t and -N + R t R t R t , where each R t Each is independently a hydrogen atom or any hydrocarbon structure.

[0063] In the present invention, a "hydrocarbylene group" is a divalent hydrocarbon group.
[0064] The secondary amine bond and hydrazine bond in the present invention refer to "-NH-" or "-NH-NH-" with both ends capped by hydrocarbon groups, such as -CH 2 -NH-CH 2 -and-CH 2 -NH-NH-CH 2 -; while -C(=O)-NH- is called an amide bond and is not considered to contain a secondary amine bond.

[0069] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "monosaccharide group" refers to a monosaccharide residue, that is, a monosaccharide backbone, including open-chain monosaccharides and cyclic monosaccharides (such as furanose rings and pyranose rings).
[0070] The monosaccharide group in the present invention can be selected from the residue of any one of the compounds including but not limited to monosaccharides, sugar alcohols, deoxy sugars, amino sugars, amino sugar derivatives (such as amide derivatives), sugar acids, and glycosides, and can be an open-chain structure or a cyclic structure. For example, an amino residue formed by removing an amino hydrogen atom from an amino sugar, and an acyl group formed by removing a carboxyl hydroxyl group from a sugar acid.

[0071] The "micro-modification" in the present invention refers to a chemical modification process that can be completed through a simple chemical reaction process. The simple chemical reaction process mainly refers to chemical reaction processes such as protection, deprotection, salt complexation, decomplexation, ionization, protonation, deprotonation or change of leaving group.
[0072] In the present invention, "slightly changed form" corresponds to "slightly modified", and refers to a structural form that can form a target reactive group after undergoing simple chemical reaction processes such as protection, deprotection, salt complexation, decomplexation, ionization, protonation, deprotonation or change of leaving group. The change of leaving group, i.e., the transformation of leaving group, is, for example, but not limited to, the transformation of ester form to acyl chloride form.
[0073] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the reaction process also involves the "protection" and "deprotection" process of related groups. In order to prevent a certain reactive group from affecting the reaction, the reactive group is usually protected. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, when there are more than two reactive groups, only the target reactive group is selectively reacted, so other reactive groups are protected. The protecting group not only remains stable during the target reaction, but can also be removed by conventional technical means in the art as needed.
[0074] In the present invention, "protection" of a reactive group means a strategy of reversibly converting the reactive group to be protected into an inert group (non-reactive group) by a specific reagent. The part of the protected group that is different from the unprotected form is called a "protecting group". For example, -OTBS is a protected form of a hydroxyl group (-OH), wherein TBS is a protecting group of the hydroxyl group.
[0075] In the present invention, "deprotection" and "deprotection" have the same meaning, and both refer to the process of converting a protected group from a protected form to an unprotected form.
[0076] In the present invention, "hydroxyl protecting group" includes all groups that can be used as a protecting group for a common hydroxyl group. The hydroxyl protecting group is preferably an alkanoyl group (e.g., acetyl, tert-butyryl), an aralkanoyl group (e.g., benzoyl), benzyl, trityl, trimethylsilyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, allyl, acetal or ketal. The removal of the acetyl group is generally carried out under alkaline conditions, and the most commonly used is NH 3 / MeOH ammonolysis and methanolysis catalyzed by methanol anion; benzyl can be easily removed by palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis in neutral solution at room temperature, and can also be reduced by metal sodium in ethanol or liquid ammonia; trityl is generally removed by catalytic hydrogenolysis; trimethylsilyl is usually removed by reagents containing fluoride ions (such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride / anhydrous THF, etc.); tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether is relatively stable and can withstand the ester hydrolysis conditions of alcoholic potassium hydroxide and mild reduction conditions (such as Zn / CH 3 OH, etc.), fluoride ions (such as Bu 4 N + F - ) in tetrahydrofuran solution, or with aqueous acetic acid at room temperature. The protection of the diol preferably forms dioxolane, dioxane, cyclic carbonate or cyclic borate.
[0077] In the present invention, the "thiol protecting group" includes all groups that can be used as a conventional thiol protecting group. Similar to the hydroxyl group, the thiol group can be protected in the form of a thioether and a thioester. The thiol protecting group is preferably a tert-butyl, benzyl, substituted benzyl, diphenylmethyl, substituted diphenylmethyl, triphenylmethyl, acetyl, benzoyl, tert-butyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, thioacetal or thioketal group. The deprotection of the thioether can be carried out by using Na / NH under acid catalysis. 3 Reduction or use of heavy metal ions such as Ag + , Hg + Some groups include S-diphenylmethyl, S-triphenylmethyl sulfide, S-2-tetrahydropyranyl, S-isobutoxymethyl semithiol acetal, which can be used (SCN) 2The thioesters are oxidized to disulfides by iodine or thionyl chloride and then reduced to thiols. The formation and deprotection of thioesters are the same as those of carboxylates.
[0078] In the present invention, "carboxyl protecting group" refers to a protecting group that can be converted into a carboxyl group by hydrolysis or deprotection reaction of the carboxyl protecting group. The carboxyl protecting group is preferably an alkyl group (e.g., methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl) or an aralkyl group (e.g., benzyl), more preferably a tert-butyl group (tBu), a methyl group (Me) or an ethyl group (Et). In the present invention, "protected carboxyl" refers to a group formed after a carboxyl group is protected by a suitable carboxyl protecting group, preferably a methoxycarbonyl group, an ethoxycarbonyl group, a tert-butyloxycarbonyl group, or a benzyloxycarbonyl group. The carboxyl protecting group can be removed by hydrolysis under the catalysis of an acid or a base, and occasionally by a thermal decomposition reaction, for example, the tert-butyl group can be removed under mild acidic conditions, and the benzyl group can be removed by hydrogenolysis. The reagent for removing the carboxyl protecting group is selected from TFA, H 2 O, LiOH, NaOH, KOH, MeOH, EtOH and combinations thereof, preferably TFA and H 2 The protected carboxyl group is deprotected to produce the corresponding free acid, and the deprotection is carried out in the presence of a base, and the base and the free acid formed by the deprotection form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
[0079] In the present invention, "amino protecting group" is equivalent to "amine protecting group" and includes all groups that can be used as conventional amino / amine protecting groups, such as aryl C 1-6 Alkyl, C 1-6 Alkoxy C 1-6 Alkyl, C 1-6 Alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, C 1-6 The amino protecting group is preferably Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl), Moz (p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl) and Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethyleneoxycarbonyl). The reagent for removing the amino protecting group is selected from TFA, H 2 O, LiOH, MeOH, EtOH and combinations thereof, preferably TFA and H 2 The deprotection agent used for removing the Fmoc protection is a solution of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) containing 20% piperidine.
[0080] In the present invention, the "alkynyl protecting group" includes all groups that can be used as a common alkynyl protecting group, preferably trimethylsilyl (TMS), triethylsilyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) or biphenyldimethylsilyl. The TMS-protected alkynyl can be easily deprotected under alkaline conditions, such as K 2 CO 3 / MeOH or KOH / MeOH. The TBS-protected alkynyl group can be deprotected in tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran (TBAF / THF).
[0081] In the present invention, the hydroxyl group protected by the hydroxyl protecting group is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, an alcoholic hydroxyl group, a phenolic hydroxyl group, etc.; the amino group / amine group protected by the amino protecting group is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a primary amine, a secondary amine, a hydrazine, an amide, etc. In the present invention, the amine group is not particularly limited, and includes, but is not limited to, a primary amine group, a secondary amine group, a tertiary amine group, and a quaternary ammonium ion.
[0082] In the present invention, the repeating unit of the polyethylene glycol component is an oxyethylene unit, i.e., -CH 2 CH 2 O- or -OCH 2 CH 2 -, also recorded as "EO unit", the number of repeating units is also recorded as EO unit number, the average number of repeating units is also recorded as EO unit average number, and preferably the number average number.
[0083] In the present invention, for the case of polydispersity, the molecular weight / degree of polymerization of a single molecule of a compound and the number average molecular weight / number average degree of polymerization of the compound components in a macroscopic substance are "equal" or "same" or "equal" (including other forms of equivalent expressions), unless otherwise specified, to strictly equal values, but rather to values that are close to or approximately equal, and the said closeness or approximate equality preferably has a deviation of no more than ±10%, usually based on a preset value.
[0084] In the present invention, for the case of monodispersity, the same or equal number of ethylene oxide units in a single compound molecule and in the general formula means that they are strictly equal in value; for example, if the number of EO units of a certain PEG component is set to 11, then the set value of 12 does not fall within the set range; but for a macroscopic product obtained by a certain preparation method in order to obtain a compound component containing a set number of EO units, due to the limitations of the preparation method and the purification method, the macroscopic product may also contain other EO unit components in addition to the target EO unit component. At this time, when the average number of EO units deviates from the preset number of EO units by no more than ±5% (base ≥ 10) or no more than ±0.5 (base < 1 0), it is deemed that a monodisperse macroscopic product containing the target component is obtained; in addition, when the content of the component that meets the range of the number of EO units or the average number of EO units reaches a certain percentage (preferably ≥90%, more preferably >95%, more preferably greater than 96%, more preferably greater than 98%, more preferably 99% to 100%), it is also deemed that a monodisperse macroscopic product containing the target component is obtained; even if the above-mentioned content ratio is not reached, as long as the preparation method of the present invention or a similar method with basically the same preparation concept is adopted, the product with insufficient content obtained for some reason, the component appearing in the form of main product, co-product or by-product, whether or not separated and purified, are all within the scope of the present invention.
[0085] In the present invention, when Da, kDa, the number of repeating units, and the number of EO units are used to describe the molecular weight of the compound formula of the polydisperse component, for a single compound molecule, the molecular weight value is allowed to fall within a certain range of the given value (including the endpoint, preferably within the range of ±10%); when the number of ethylene oxide units is used to describe the preset molecular weight of the compound formula of the monodisperse component, there is no range fluctuation, which is a discrete point, but the prepared product may cause the average number of EO units to fluctuate within a certain range (not exceeding ±10% or ±1, preferably not exceeding ±5% or ±0.5) due to the uneven molecular weight. For example, the molecular weight of mPEG (methoxypolyethylene glycol unit) is 5kDa, which means that the molecular weight of a single molecule in the general formula is between 4500 and 5500Da, and the average molecular weight of the corresponding component of the corresponding preparation product is 5kDa, that is, the product with an average molecular weight between 4500 and 5500Da is the target product, and only the components with a molecular weight falling within this range contribute to the content of the target component; for another example, if mPEG is designed to have 22 ethylene oxide units, the number of EO units of all compound molecules in the general formula should strictly be 22, but the preparation product may be a mixture of compounds with 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 EO units. At this time, when the average number of EO units falls within the range of 22±2.2 (preferably within the range of 22±1.1), it is regarded as obtaining the target component, and the components with a molecular weight falling within this numerical range can be regarded as the target component for calculating the purity.
[0086] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "mPEG" refers to a methoxy-terminated polyethylene glycol segment, the structural formula of which is Among them, n i is the degree of polymerization of the polyethylene glycol chain.
[0087] In the present invention, a product PDI < 1.005 can be regarded as monodispersity, which can be recorded as PDI = 1.
[0088] In the present invention, the number of repeating units in the "single-stranded component" is at least 4.
[0089] In the present invention, "lipid" is also called "lipids" (lipid), including but not limited to esters of fatty acids, and is characterized by having poor solubility in water, but being soluble in many non-polar organic substances. Although lipids usually have poor solubility in water, some classes of lipids (for example, lipids modified by polar groups such as DMG-PEG2000) have limited water solubility and can be dissolved in water under certain conditions. Known types of lipids include biomolecules, such as fatty acids, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides and phospholipids.
[0090] In the present invention, lipids include simple esters, complex esters and derived lipids. The simple esters are esters composed of fatty acids and alcohols, which can be divided into three subcategories: fats, oils and waxes. The complex esters are "lipid compounds", also called "lipids" or "lipoids", including phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids, steroids and sterols, and lipoproteins. The derived lipids, including simple lipid derivatives and complex lipid derivatives, have the general properties of lipids.
[0091] In the present invention, the lipids may be synthetic or derived (isolated or modified) from natural sources or compounds.
[0092] In the present invention, "lipid nanoparticle" or "LNP" (lipid nanoparticle) refers to nanometer-scale (such as 1nm to 1000nm) particles comprising one or more types of lipid molecules. In the present invention, LNP may further include at least one non-lipid payload molecule (such as, one or more nucleic acid molecules). In some embodiments, LNP comprises non-lipid payload molecules partially or completely encapsulated in lipid shells. In particular, in some embodiments, wherein the payload is a negatively charged molecule (such as, mRNA encoding viral proteins), and the lipid component of LNP comprises at least one cationic lipid and at least one pegylated lipid. It is contemplated that cationic lipids can interact with negatively charged payload molecules and promote payload incorporation and / or encapsulation into LNP during LNP formation. As provided herein, other lipids that can form a part for LNP include but are not limited to neutral lipids and steroid lipids.
[0093] In the present invention, "cation" means that the corresponding structure can be permanently or non-permanently responsive to certain conditions (such as pH) and carry a positive charge. Therefore, cations include both permanent cations and cationizable. Permanent cations refer to the corresponding compounds or groups or atoms that are positively charged at any pH value or hydrogen ion activity of their environment. Typically, the positive charge is generated by the presence of quaternary nitrogen atoms. When a compound carries multiple such positive charges, it can be called a permanent cation. Cationizable refers to a compound or group or atom that is positively charged at a lower pH and uncharged at a higher pH of its environment. In addition, in a non-aqueous environment where the pH value cannot be determined, a cationizable compound, group or atom is positively charged at a high hydrogen ion concentration and uncharged at a low hydrogen ion concentration or activity. It depends on the individual properties of the cationizable or polycationizable compound, in particular the pKa of the corresponding cationizable group or atom, at which pH or hydrogen ion concentration it is charged or uncharged. In a dilute aqueous environment, the fraction of cationizable compounds, groups or atoms with a positive charge can be estimated using the so-called Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, which is well known to those skilled in the art. In some embodiments, the whole or part of the cationizable compound is positively charged at a physiological pH value (e.g., about 7.0-7.4). In some preferred embodiments, the whole or part of the cationizable compound is neutral at a physiological pH value (e.g., about 7.0-7.4), but is positively charged at a lower pH value (e.g., about 5.5 to 6.5). In some embodiments, the pKa of the whole or part of the cationizable compound is preferably in the range of about 5 to about 7.
[0094] In the present invention, "cationic lipid" refers to a lipid that is positively charged at any pH value or hydrogen ion activity of its environment, or a lipid that can be positively charged in response to the pH value or hydrogen ion activity of its environment (e.g., its intended use environment). Therefore, the term "cationic" covers the scope of "permanent cation" and "cationizable". In some embodiments, the positive charge in the cationic lipid is derived from the presence of a quaternary nitrogen atom. In some embodiments, the cationic lipid includes a zwitterionic lipid that is positively charged in the environment in which it is intended to be applied (e.g., at an endosomal pH). In some embodiments, if a liposome contains a cationizable lipid, it is preferred that it is at a pH of about 1 to 9, preferably 4 to 9, 5 to 8 or 6 to 8, most preferably at an endosomal pH (e.g., about 5.5 to 6.5), wherein about 1% to 100% of the cationizable lipid is cationized. Cationic lipids include, but are not limited to, N,N-dioleyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride (DODAC), N,N-distearyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), N-(1-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTAP), N-(1-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl)-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTMA), N,N-dimethyl-2,3-dioleyloxypropylamine (DODMA), 3-(didodecylamino)-N1,N1,4-tri-dodecyl-1-piperazineethylamine (KL10), N1-[2-(didodecylamino)ethyl]-N1,N4,N4-tri-dodecyl-1,4-piperazinediethylamine ( KL22), 14,25-ditridecyl-15,18,21,24-tetraaza-triacontane (KL25), 1,2-dilinoleyloxy-N,N-dimethylaminopropane (DLin-DMA), 2,2-dilinoleyl-4-dimethylaminomethyl-[1,3]-dioxolane (DLin-K-DMA), 4-(dimethylamino)butyric acid triheptadecanoate-6,9,28,31-tetraen-19-yl ester (DLin-MC3-DMA), 2,2-dilinoleyl-4-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-[1,3]-dioxolane (DLin-KC2-DMA), any one of the cationic lipids disclosed in CN113402405A and mixtures thereof.
[0095] In the present invention, "PEGylated lipid" refers to a molecule comprising a lipid portion and a polyethylene glycol portion, and can be divided into linear PEGylated lipids and non-linear PEGylated lipids based on their structure. In addition to the PEGylated lipids described in the present invention, the PEGylated lipids also include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol-1,2 dimyristin (PEG-DMG), polyethylene glycol-distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (PEG-DSPE), PEG-cholesterol, polyethylene glycol-diacylglycerol (PEG-DAG), polyethylene glycol-dialkoxypropyl (PEG-DAA), specifically including polyethylene glycol 500-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, polyethylene glycol 2000-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, polyethylene glycol 500-stearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine, polyethylene glycol 2000-distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine, polyethylene glycol 500-1,2-oleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine, polyethylene glycol 2000-1,2-oleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine and polyethylene glycol 2000-2,3-dimyristoyl glycerol (PEG-DMG) and the like.

To test the extent of gene silencing, a test sample (e.g., a cell sample in a culture medium expressing a target gene) is contacted with a nucleic acid that inhibits the expression of a target gene. The expression of the target gene in a test sample or a test animal is compared with the expression of the target gene in a control sample (e.g., a cell sample in a culture medium expressing a target gene) that is not contacted or not administered with nucleic acid. The expression of the target gene in the control sample can be assigned a value of 100%.

[0736] Example 46: Biological Activity Test of Lipid Pharmaceutical Composition
[0737] (1) Determination of nanoparticle size and nucleic acid complexing ability
[0738] Nucleic acid complexing ability determination: The nucleic acid complexing ability of LNP / Fluc-mRNA was investigated by gel permeation electrophoresis experiment. Weigh 0.8g of agarose and dissolve it in 40mL of TAE solution, heat it in a microwave oven to completely dissolve the agarose particles, cool it, add 5μL of nucleic acid dye GelGreen to the cooled agarose gel, add the gel to the gel tank, and dry it naturally. Add the mixture of LNP / Fluc-mRNA and 2μL of LoadingBuffer to the agarose gel hole, set the electrophoresis voltage to 90V for electrophoresis experiment, and electrophoresed for 10min at room temperature. There is basically no free Fluc-mRNA in the LNP / Fluc-mRNA experimental group (L-1~L-43, L-3-2-d, PL-0, PL-3-2, PL-4, PL-10-2, PL-16, PL-17) and the LNP / Fluc-mRNA control group D-0, indicating that the LNP of the present invention has a good nucleic acid drug complexing ability.
[0739] Encapsulation efficiency determination: LNP / Fluc-mRNA was ultracentrifuged (4°C, 60000rpm, 1h) using an ultracentrifuge, and the concentration of unencapsulated Fluc-mRNA in the supernatant was detected using a nucleic acid quantifier, and the encapsulation efficiency of liposomes for Fluc-mRNA was calculated. The results are summarized in Table 1, showing that the liposomes of the present invention have a high encapsulation efficiency for nucleic acid drugs, wherein the encapsulation efficiency of the experimental group is above 80%. In particular, compared with E16-1, the polar head of d-1 does not contain a side chain hydroxyl group, d-2 does not contain a polar head with a branched structure, and the polar head of d-3 does not contain a nitrogen heterocycle, and accordingly, the encapsulation efficiency of the experimental group L-16 (95%) is greater than that of the control groups D-1, D-2 and D-3 (81%, 91%, 83%). E1-1 and d-4 also contain multiple ester bonds, and accordingly, the encapsulation efficiency of L-1 (87%) is greater than that of D-4 (81%). Compared with L3-2, L3-2-d contains the same types of lipids and has a higher encapsulation rate by adjusting the ratio of each lipid to a certain extent.
[0740] Particle size determination: According to the literature (Hassett et al., J. Controlled Release 2021, 335, 237-246), the particle size of the LNP preparation containing nucleic acid drugs can exert better efficacy at 60 to 150 nm. In this embodiment, the particle size of LNP / Fluc-mRNA was measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The measured LNP / Fluc-mRNA has a high size uniformity, and its PDI is less than 0.3. The experimental results show that the particle size of LNP / Fluc-mRNA prepared using the cationic lipids of the present invention is in the range of about 70 nm to about 113 nm, which are particle sizes that can achieve better efficacy.

[0745] The above-mentioned LNP / Fluc-mRNA (control group D-0, D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4; experimental group L-1, L-3-2, L-4, L-10-2, L-16, L-17, PL-0, PL-3-2, PL-4, PL-10-2, PL-16, PL-17) was added to a culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), stirred at 37°C, and samples were taken at regular intervals to determine the particle size change of LNP / Fluc-mRNA. The serum stability of the nucleic acid drug preparation was analyzed by testing the particle size change. The experimental results show (Table 2) that within 7 days, the particle size of PL-3-2, PL-4, PL-16, and PL-10-2 containing both the cationic lipid of the present invention and the PEGylated lipid of the present invention changed the least (0-3%), and the particle size of the remaining experimental groups and the control group changed by 5-16%, among which the cationic lipids containing carbonate groups or multiple ester groups, D-4, L-1, L-17, and PL-17, had slightly larger particle size changes. The results show that the cationic lipid of the present invention is used for the preparation of the lipid pharmaceutical composition, and the obtained lipid nanoparticles can have sufficient stability under physiological conditions, and the PEGylated lipid of the present invention has a better effect.

[0749] (3) Cytotoxicity evaluation
[0750] The cells used were Hela cells, and the method selected was the CCK-8 kit method for determining cell viability.
[0751] The commercial transfection reagent Lipofectamine 2000 (L2K) was used to prepare the complex L2K / Fluc-mRNA according to the method of Example 45.
[0752] Hela press 1×10 4The cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a ratio of 100 μL per well and divided into control group (blank control group), L2K / Fluc-mRNA group (positive control group) and LNP / Fluc-mRNA group (experimental groups in Table 1) and incubated at 37°C and 5% CO 2 After 24 hours of incubation, 3.3 μg / mL of L2K / Fluc-mRNA and 3.3 μg / mL of LNP / Fluc-mRNA were added to the positive control group and the experimental group, respectively, and the cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO. 2 After 24 hours of incubation, remove the 96-well plate, remove the culture medium, and add 120 μL of the diluted CCK-8 solution to each well. 2 Incubate for 1-4 hours.
[0753] Take out and measure the absorbance of each well at a wavelength of 450 nm using an enzyme marker.
[0754] The results of three repeated tests were averaged, and the cell survival rate of the positive control group L2K / Fluc-mRNA was 92%, the cell survival rates of the experimental groups were all greater than 91%, and the cell survival rates of L3-2, L-16, PL-3-2, PL-4 and PL-16 were 96% and above.
[0755] The results showed that compared with L2K / Fluc-mRNA transfected using the commercial transfection reagent Lipofectamine 2000, the LNP / Fluc-mRNA of the present invention also had no obvious toxicity to cells.

[0759] In order to investigate the mRNA transfection rate of each group of LNP / Fluc-mRNA compositions prepared in Example 45 of the present invention at the cellular level, Luciferase bioluminescence was used for testing. The LNP / Fluc-mRNA composition preparation was dissolved in the culture medium to prepare the required dose, and Hela cells were used as a cell model. The cell suspension 100 μL / well was inoculated into a 96-well plate with a black-rimmed transparent bottom at an inoculation density of 6000 cells / well. After inoculation, the cells were incubated in a cell culture incubator for 24 hours, and then administered at a dose of 0.2ug mRNA per well. The blank control group was added with a corresponding dose of free Fluc-mRNA. After transfection for 24 hours, the old culture medium was removed and replaced with a new culture medium containing D-fluorescein sodium (1.5mg / mL) substrate, and after incubation for 5 minutes, the bioluminescence was detected using an ELISA instrument. The stronger the fluorescence, the more Fluc-mRNA transported into the cytoplasm and translated into the corresponding fluorescent protein. The experimental results are shown in Table 3, wherein the relative value of fluorescence intensity is the ratio of the fluorescence intensity value of each group to the fluorescence intensity of the blank control group. The results show that the LNP / Fluc-mRNA compositions prepared by the present invention have excellent in vitro transfection effects, that is, the LNPs of the control group and the experimental group are effective delivery vectors, and the transfection effects of most experimental groups are better than those of the control group. When the pegylated lipid in the LNP / Fluc-mRNA composition is DMG, the transfection effects of L-1, L-3-2, L-10-2 and L-16 containing nitrogen heterocycles at the polar head of the cationic lipid are better; among them, the transfection effect of L-1 is the best, which may be due to the fact that the multiple ester bonds it contains are more conducive to the degradation of cationic lipids in cells and promote the release of nucleic acid drugs Fluc-mRNA into the cytoplasm. When the pegylated lipid in the LNP / Fluc-mRNA composition is E44-1 of the present invention, the transfection efficiency will not be significantly reduced (such as the transfection efficiency of L-0 and PL-0 is equivalent), and when the cationic lipid of the present invention is matched, the transfection efficiency is improved to a certain extent (such as PL-1 and PL-3-2).
