Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the fields of biomedicine, nanotechnology, supramolecular assembly and nucleic acid delivery, and particularly relates to a supramolecular lipid nanoparticle capable of promoting endosomal escape, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in nucleic acid delivery. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, nucleic acid drugs (including mRNA, siRNA, etc.) have shown great potential in the field of gene therapy, especially in the treatment of lung diseases. However, the clinical application of nucleic acid molecules has long been limited by problems such as low in vivo delivery efficiency, easy degradation, and difficulty in penetrating complex biological barriers. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), as the mainstream delivery carrier, although their safety and feasibility have been verified in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, their core bottlenecks - insufficient endosomal escape efficiency and limited in vivo stability - still severely restrict their application in inhalation therapy. Even LNPs containing DLin-MC3-DMA as the ionizable lipid approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can only achieve 1-4% of the loaded RNA released into the cytoplasm, and most LNPs are trapped in endosomes / lysosomes; in addition, traditional LNPs have poor stability during the in vivo circulation process, greatly reducing the bioavailability of RNA therapy and posing risks to normal tissues, limiting their wider clinical application.

[0003] To solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a new delivery system that can achieve efficient endosomal escape and ensure excellent in vivo stability during the delivery process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the deficiencies existing in the existing LNP delivery technology and improve the endosomal escape effect of LNPs. The primary object of the present invention is to provide a formulation of a supramolecular lipid nanoparticle with excellent stability and capable of significantly improving the intracellular endosomal escape ability, and an application thereof.

[0005] Existing studies have shown that ionizable lipids with a conical topology can promote the formation of an unstable hexagonal phase in the endosomal membrane, leading to the rupture of the endosomal membrane for rapid and complete endosomal escape. After screening thousands of natural and artificial chemicals, we considered that cyclodextrin (CD) became the best candidate molecule among the topological molecules for manufacturing new ionizable lipids due to its inherent conical structure and multiple hydroxyl groups, which allows for asymmetric modification to introduce multiple ionizable groups and hydrophobic alkyl chains. In addition, the cavity of CD provides a stable hydrophobic environment that can encapsulate poorly soluble drugs through host-guest interactions, thus creating favorable conditions for synergistic therapy. Therefore, the development of cyclodextrin-based ionizable lipids for the preparation of cyclodextrin lipid nanoparticles (CNPs) has the potential to combine high endosomal escape ability with excellent biological stability and achieve excellent pulmonary delivery.

[0006] The present invention prepares a nucleic acid drug delivery system with endosomal escape ability and thus improved inhalation delivery efficiency by optimizing the components and formulation ratios of CNPs. This system has sufficient stability, safety and high loading efficiency, and can significantly improve the intracellular endosomal escape ability and pulmonary retention time.

After stirring at room temperature for 12 h, the dichloromethane was removed by rotary evaporation, and the residue was poured into 200 mL of ice water for crystallization.

The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH neutral with NaHCO3 solution, then separated, and the organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed by concentration under reduced pressure to obtain the light yellow lipid end product Lipid.

[0120] According to the different amine selections in step 2), the following lipids were specifically obtained:

[0121]

[0122] For Lipid-1, the 1 1H NMR was as Figure 5 shown.

[0123] Example 2: Formulation screening of supramolecular lipid nanoparticles (CNPs)

[0124] Considering that PEG is a polymer with excellent hydrophilicity, which can form a relatively thick hydration layer, stabilize nanoparticles through steric hindrance, and prolong the circulation time of nanoparticles in vivo. Therefore, we added PEG-lipid to the supramolecular ionizable lipid to prepare binary lipid nanoparticles.

[0125] Dissolve the compound of formula (1) and ALC-0159 in an ethanol solution in a certain proportion and mix them evenly. According to the volume ratio of the organic phase solution to the aqueous phase solution of 1:3, use a microfluidic device to co-extrude the aqueous phase solution and the organic phase solution to obtain a slightly white solution, which is CNPs.

[0126] To improve the stability of lipid nanoparticles and prolong their blood circulation time, we first screened the ratio of the compound of formula (1) to ALC-0159. In this example, we prepared nanoparticles containing different mass fractions (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%) of PEG-lipid, and used dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to characterize the particle size distribution and morphology of the obtained CNPs containing PEG-lipid. It was found that the particle size of the nanoparticles containing 5%, 10%, and 15% PEG-lipid was about 100 nm ( Figure 6 ). As Figure 7 shown, after storing at room temperature for 3 days, the DLS results showed that when the mass ratio of PEG-lipid was 10%, the changes in the particle size and PDI of the prepared CNPs were the smallest, indicating that the nanoparticles were the most stable. This formulation was used in subsequent experiments.

[0127] Example 3: Membrane-breaking ability of supramolecular lipid nanoparticles

[0128] To prove the excellent endosomal escape ability of CNPs, we used a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiment to evaluate the membrane-breaking ability of CNPs. By nucleophilic addition and amidation reactions, FITC and rhodamine B (RhoB) were attached to DSPE-PEG-NH2, and we successfully prepared a FRET probe.

[0129] The specific preparation method of the FRET probe is as follows:

[0130] Dissolve RhoB (20 mg) in 1.5 mL of dichloromethane, add 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (20 mg) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.6 mg), stir at room temperature for 30 minutes, then add DSPE-PEG-NH2 (35 mg), and continue stirring overnight. Wash with water, extract with dichloromethane, then rotary evaporate, wash with ether, and dry to obtain DSPE-PEG-RhoB.

[0131] Dissolve DSPE-PEG-NH2 (23 mg) and FITC (4.5 mg) in 0.6 mL of dichloromethane and stir overnight at room temperature. Precipitate the product with 50 mL of ether, then centrifuge and dry to obtain DSPE-PEG-FITC.

[0132] The specific preparation method of lysosome-mimicking liposomes is as follows: Dissolve DOPC, DOPE, DSPE-PEG-FITC, and DSPE-PEG-RhoB in chloroform at a molar ratio of 50:50:0.5:1, then rotary evaporate to form a thin film. Add PBS (pH 5.6) to make the total lipid concentration 1 mM and sonicate for 30 minutes to obtain endosome-mimicking lysosomes.

[0133] Supramolecular lipid nanoparticles (CNPs): CNPs prepared using the optimal formulation in Example 2.

[0134] LNPs: Using a commercial LNP formulation with a molar ratio of SM102:distearoyl phosphatidylcholine:cholesterol:PEG-lipid (ALC-0159) = 50:10:38.5:1.5, and the preparation method refers to that of CNPs.

[0135] In the lysosome-mimicking liposomes containing FITC and RhoB that we prepared, due to FRET occurring with RhoB, the fluorescence of FITC was quenched. When the nanoparticles fused with the endosome / lysosome mimics, the distance between the two probes increased, resulting in an increase in the FITC signal and a decrease in the RhoB signal ( Figure 8 a). Therefore, we used the ratio of RhoB to FITC intensity as an index of membrane fusion and rupture degree, and the lower the value, the stronger the rupture degree. As Figure 8 shown in b, compared with LNPs, CNPs induced faster and higher degrees of membrane fusion and rupture. The change in the real-time signal ratio within 15 minutes showed that after adding CNPs and LNPs, the intensity ratios of the endosome mimics decreased to 0.34 and 0.36 respectively ( Figure 8 c). The above proves that compared with LNPs, CNPs have excellent membrane disruption ability in RNA delivery and can mediate faster and more complete endosomal escape.

[0136] Example 4: Loading and in vitro release behavior of small molecule drugs by supramolecular lipid nanoparticles

[0137] Dissolve Lipid-1 and ALC-0159 in ethanol according to the optimal mass ratio screened in Example 2. At the same time, add pifithrin-α (PFD) to the above ethanol solution at a molar equivalent of 5 times that of Lipid-1 and mix well. According to the volume ratio of the organic phase solution to the aqueous phase solution of 1:3, quickly mix the two to obtain a slightly white solution of CNPs@PFD. Subsequently, dialyze with an appropriate volume of PBS solution for 4 h and collect the filtrate. The control group was a commercial LNP formulation (molar ratio SM102: distearoyl phosphatidylcholine: cholesterol: PEG-lipid (ALC-0159) = 50:10:38.5:1.5), and the addition amount of PFD was the same as that of CNPs@PFD. Subsequently, the encapsulation and release behaviors of PFD of the two prepared lipid nanoparticles were measured by dialysis. The results showed that the encapsulation rate of PFD in CNPs@PFD was significantly higher than that in LNP@PFD, and the release curve of PFD showed that CNPs@PFD had an obvious sustained-release advantage, showing obvious technical superiority compared with LNP@PFD( Figure 9 a, b).

[0138] Example 5: In vivo release behavior of CNPs@PFD

[0139] To verify the unique advantage of CNPs in delivering and retaining PFD in the lungs through host-guest interactions, we evaluated the in vivo distribution of PFD in different nanoparticle formulations. Given the advantages of intranasal administration in pulmonary drug delivery, including rapid absorption and avoidance of hepatic first-pass metabolism, we intranasally injected free PFD, LNPs@PFD (same as Example 4), or CNPs@PFD (same as Example 4) into mice, and the injection amount of PFD was 15 μg / mouse. The main organs of the mice were harvested 4 h and 12 h after administration( Figure 10 a). At 4 h after administration, the relative content of PFD in the lungs of the CNPs@PFD group mice (94.7 ± 0.83%) was significantly higher than that in the free PFD group (53.7 ± 2.21%) and the LNP@PFD group (86.5 ± 2.44%)( Figure 10b). More interestingly, 12 hours after administration, only 47.6 ± 3.04% of PFD accumulated in the lung tissues of mice in the LNPs@PFD group, while 83.6 ± 2.33% of PFD was retained in the lung tissues of mice in the CNPs@PFD group. Notably, free PFD rapidly accumulated in the liver (23.3 ± 2.76%) after 4 hours, which might cause liver injury. Although LNPs prolonged the retention time of PFD in the lungs, due to the relatively low stability of LNPs and the relatively fast dissociation rate of LNPs@PFD, 26.7 ± 3.56% of LNPs@PFD still accumulated in the liver 12 hours after administration, while CNPs significantly reduced liver accumulation, only 4.37 ± 0.55%. These research results indicate that CNPs@PFD has advantages in prolonging the lung retention time and reducing liver accumulation.

[0140] Example 6: In vitro transfection efficiency of CNPs@siRNA on 3T3 cells

[0141] To evaluate the cellular transfection efficiency of CNPs@siRNA and LNPs@siRNA, we carried out the delivery of Cy5-siRNA (negative control siRNA, GenePharma, A03010; the nucleotide sequence of the Cy5-siRNA is: Antisense 5'-ACGUGACACGUUCGGAGAATT-3' (SEQ ID No.2), sense 5'-UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT-3' (SEQ ID No.3); wherein the fluorescent dye Cy5 is labeled at the 5'-end of the sense strand of siRNA) according to the formulation in Example 3, where the mass ratio of the lipid molecules in the supramolecular lipid nanoparticles to Cy5-siRNA is 20:1; the mass ratio of the lipid molecules in LNPs to Cy5-siRNA is 20:1. Transfect 2×10 6 cells per 1 μg of RNA. Add the above-prepared nanoparticles to the 3T3 cell line. After culturing for 4 hours, collect the cells and analyze the transfection efficiency of CNPs@Cy5-siRNA and LNPs@Cy5-siRNA cells by flow cytometry. The results are as shown in the appendix Figure 11 and indicate that CNPs@Cy5-siRNA exhibits comparable transfection ability to LNPs@Cy5-siRNA in 3T3 cells.

[0142] Example 7: In vivo transfection efficiency of CNPs@siRNA

[0143] Next, we evaluated the RNA pulmonary delivery ability of CNPs@Cy5-siRNA (same as Example 6) and LNPs@Cy5-siRNA (same as Example 6) by inhalation administration, and we evaluated the biodistribution of CNPs@Cy5-siRNA under different administration routes.

[0144] As Figure 12 shown, 30 h after inhalation administration, the Cy5 signal of LNPs@Cy5-siRNA was mainly localized in the liver and intestine, rather than the lung, while a considerable proportion of CNPs@Cy5-siRNA remained in the lung. This indicates that compared with LNPs, the reason why CNPs can continuously deliver to the lung may be partly due to their excellent stability, enabling effective inhalation delivery.

[0145] Example 8: CNPs loaded with siRNA targeting Hsp47 and pirfenidone for in vitro inhibition of fibroblast migration experiment

[0146] In view of the above in vitro and in vivo screening results, we verified the inhibitory effect of CNPs co-loaded with siRNA targeting heat shock protein 47 (Hsp47) (siHsp47) and pirfenidone on fibroblast migration during pulmonary fibrosis.

[0147] The preparation method of CNPs@siHsp47 / PFD used in this example is as follows: Dissolve Lipid-1, ALC-0159, and PFD in ethanol and mix evenly; dissolve siHsp47 in a citric acid / sodium citrate solution with a pH of 5.0 and a concentration of 100 mM, and perform co-extrusion through microfluidics according to the volume ratio of the organic phase solution to the aqueous phase solution of 1:3 to obtain the nanoparticles CNPs@siHsp47 / PFD; wherein, the mass ratio of Lipid-1 to ALC-0159 is 90%:10%, the molar ratio of PFD to Lipid-1 is 5:1, and the mass ratio of lipid molecules (Lipid-1 and ALC-0159) to siHsp47 is 25:1.

[0148] The preparation method of CNPs@siHsp47 used in this example is as follows: Dissolve Lipid-1 and ALC-0159 in ethanol, dissolve siHsp47 in a citric acid / sodium citrate solution with a pH of 5.0 and a concentration of 100 mM, and perform co-extrusion through microfluidics according to the volume ratio of the organic phase solution to the aqueous phase solution of 1:3 to obtain the nanoparticles CNPs@siHsp47; wherein, the mass ratio of Lipid-1 to ALC-0159 is 90%:10%, and the mass ratio of lipid molecules (Lipid-1 and ALC-0159) to siHsp47 is 25:1.

[0149] The nucleotide sequence of the siHsp47 is: GCAGCAAGCAACACUACAAUU (ID12406). This sequence is the sense strand in the 5'-3' direction.

[0150] The prepared CNPs@siHsp47 / PFD and CNPs@siHsp47 were co-cultured with 3T3 cells, and then the migration number of 3T3 cells was verified by transwell experiment. As Figure 13 shown, CNPs@siHsp47 / PFD and CNPs@siHsp47 have excellent migration inhibitory ability, and the effect of CNPs@siHsp47 / PFD is better.

[0151] Example 9: CNPs loaded with siRNA targeting Hsp47 and pirfenidone for the treatment of mouse pulmonary fibrosis

[0152] For more comprehensive and systematic treatment verification, C57BL / 6J mice were selected in the present invention, and a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis was constructed by intratracheal injection of bleomycin sulfate. On the 0th day, 20 mice were selected for intratracheal injection of bleomycin sulfate, and the dosage was 1.5 U / kg; starting from the 10th day, the mice were randomly grouped (5 mice in each group), and the following groups were set: PBS group, LNPs@siHsp47 group, CNPs@siHsp47 group, CNPs@siHsp47 / PFD treatment group, and at the same time, a healthy group without modeling was set (3 mice in each group). Intranasal inhalation was administered once every three days at a dose of 5 μg RNA per mouse for a total of 6 treatments. The mice were sacrificed on the 27th day, and lung tissues were taken for determination of hydroxyproline content and Masson staining. The treatment effects are as Figure 14 shown in a, b: The CNPs@siHsp47 group is better than the LNPs@siHsp47 group, and the CNPs@siHsp47 / PFD treatment is the best.

[0153] In this example, the CNPs@siHsp47 used in the CNPs@siHsp47 group and the CNPs@siHsp47 / PFD used in the CNPs@siHsp47 / PFD treatment group are the same as those in Example 8.

[0154] The preparation method of LNPs@siHsp47 used in the LNPs@siHsp47 group is as follows: Ionizable lipid molecule (SM-102), polyethylene glycol lipid (ALC-0159), cholesterol, and DSPC are dissolved in ethanol and mixed evenly; siHsp47 is dissolved in a citric acid / sodium citrate solution with a pH of 5.0 and a concentration of 100 mM, and co-extruded through microfluidics according to the volume ratio of the organic phase solution to the aqueous phase solution of 1:3 to obtain the nanoparticle LNPs@siHsp47. Among them, the molar ratio of SM102:DSPC:cholesterol:PEG-lipid (ALC-0159) = 50:10:38.5:1.5; the mass ratio of the lipid molecules (SM-102, ALC-0159, cholesterol, and DSPC) to siHsp47 is 25:1.
