Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of lipid nanoparticles (LNP), and specifically provides a lipid nanoparticle (LNP), a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] A one-step ultrafiltration method is often used to prepare mRNA LNPs. The composite solution system in this one-step ultrafiltration method contains a small amount of ethanol (less than 5%). Lipids are more soluble in organic solvents than in water. The addition of a neutral buffer increases the pH of the system, weakening the ionization of cationic lipids. Some lipids are soluble in ethanol, resulting in uneven lipid distribution within the solution. Lipid retention in ethanol, uneven lipid distribution, and decreased nucleic acid binding capacity of cationic lipids can lead to the formation of empty LNPs, with an empty fraction reaching up to 60%. This high empty fraction increases production costs, reduces potency, and may also increase toxic side effects during clinical use. The empty fraction is related to the lipid type. Compared with mRNA LNPs prepared by the two-step ultrafiltration method, mRNA LNPs prepared by the one-step ultrafiltration method have a higher empty fraction and poorer stability at 4°C (mRNA is easily degraded), which is unfavorable for global transportation of mRNA LNP preparations.

[0003] To prevent mRNA LNP from losing activity during long-term storage at room temperature, sucrose is typically added to the mRNA LNP solution and stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. However, ultra-low temperature storage at -80°C requires a high level of cold chain transport, making it difficult to transport and preserve mRNA LNP products over long distances and increasing the difficulty and cost of product delivery. The WHO hopes that mRNA LNP vaccines can be stored at 4°C for one month to facilitate global transportation.

[0004] The two-step ultrafiltration method developed by CSPC can reduce the empty package rate and significantly improve the stability of mRNA LNP at 4°C (mRNA integrity). In the first step of ultrafiltration, pH 4.0 citric acid buffer is used to remove ethanol, and in the second step, pH 7.6 Tris buffer is used to replace the pH 4.0 citric acid buffer, which reduces the empty package rate and improves the cold storage stability of mRNA LNP. This shows that the presence of ethanol is an interference factor in the orderly formation of the structure of mRNA LNP. Ethanol has a certain lipophilicity. If a certain amount of "extraction solvent" is added to the system to free the lipids from the interference of ethanol, the purpose of reducing the empty package rate and optimizing the structure of mRNA LNP can be achieved.

[0005] Ionic liquids are liquid mixtures of organic cations and inorganic or organic anions in a specific stoichiometric ratio. They are easy to synthesize and are often used in pharmaceutical preparations to increase the solubility of poorly soluble (lipid-soluble) drugs. Ionic liquids that are completely miscible with water have the potential to serve as solvents for separating and purifying drugs.

[0006] The core of mRNA LNPs contains a significant amount of water (24%). The majority of the mRNA chain resides within the LNP core, surrounded by a column of water and ionizable cationic lipids. mRNA is susceptible to hydrolysis and loss of activity when stored in aqueous solution for extended periods. The liquid water environment within LNPs is the primary cause of mRNA instability under refrigerated conditions (2-8°C).

[0007] Single-stranded mRNA can fold back on itself to form a variety of double-stranded structures, and double-stranded structures of single-stranded mRNA exist widely. At the same time, ionic liquid choline amino acid salts have been shown to have an affinity for RNA. Ionic liquid choline amino acid salts can hydrogen bond with the minor groove base groups of torulomyces RNA and enhance the thermal stability of torulomyces RNA. The third-generation ionic liquid (natural product) choline chloride can also be completely miscible with water and has similar solvent properties to ethanol. It can be used as a competitive lipid solvent in the synthetic system, eliminating the interference of ethanol on LNP formation. In addition, the interaction between choline salts and RNA may cause dehydration of the RNA backbone, produce a minor groove dehydration effect on RNA, prevent RNA hydrolysis, and enhance RNA stability.

[0008] When preparing mRNA LNPs, a one-step ultrafiltration method results in a high empty packet rate and poor mRNA LNP stability at 4°C. While a two-step ultrafiltration method can reduce the empty packet rate and enhance the stability of mRNA LNPs at 4°C, it adds additional process steps, making it unsuitable for large-scale industrial production. There is a need in the art for a method that reduces the empty packet rate and enables stable storage of mRNA LNP products at 2-8°C, thereby reducing product transportation difficulties and storage costs.

[0045] Example 1: Preparation of mRNA LNPs using an aqueous phase containing choline chloride

[0046] The test was conducted using three lipid formulations already on the market:

[0047] Lipid Prescription 1,

[0048] SM-102, cholesterol, DSPC, DMG-PEG2000 (the molar ratio of SM-102, cholesterol, DSPC, and DMG-PEG2000 is 50:38.5:10:1.5);

[0049] Lipid Prescription 2,

[0050] ALC-0315, cholesterol, DSPC, ALC-0159 (the molar ratio of ALC-0315, cholesterol, DSPC, and ALC-0159 is 50:38.5:10:1.5);

[0051] Lipid Prescription 3,

[0052] MC3, cholesterol, DSPC, DMG-PEG2000 (the molar ratio of MC3, cholesterol, DSPC and DMG-PEG2000 is 50:38.5:10:1.5).

[0053] The mRNA LNPs were prepared using the three lipid formulations described above and tested using the following steps:

[0054] (1) mRNA was dissolved in 20 mM, pH 4.0 citric acid buffer, and choline chloride was added to make the concentration of choline chloride 40 nM, 50 nM and 60 nM, respectively. Then, the aqueous phase for mRNA LNP synthesis was prepared, and 20 mM, pH 4.0 citric acid buffer without choline chloride was used as a control.

[0055] (2) The three lipid formulations were dissolved in ethanol to obtain three different lipids, and then the aqueous phase in step (1) was used to synthesize mRNA LNPs using a microfluidic device, Inano E. The average particle size of the obtained lipid nanoparticles was 50-150 nm.

[0056] (3) The mRNA LNP solution in step (2) was ultrafiltered and the ethanol-containing citrate buffer was replaced with 25 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.5).

[0057] (4) After the treatment in step (3), the empty package rate of mRNA LNP prepared in aqueous phase containing different concentrations of choline chloride was detected.

[0058] (5) The mRNA LNPs treated in step (3) were stored at 4°C for 180 days, and the mRNA integrity of the LNPs prepared in aqueous phase with different concentrations of choline chloride was detected using a capillary electrophoresis instrument, Angilent 5200 Fragment Analyzer.

[0059] The following is the experimental data of the test results.

[0075] As shown in the data in Tables 1-6, mRNA LNPs prepared using the three lipid formulations described above exhibited a reduced empty mRNA LNP rate after adding 40-60 mM choline chloride to the aqueous phase. Furthermore, the integrity of the encapsulated mRNA remained stable even after 180 days of storage at 4°C, effectively preventing mRNA degradation in the LNPs during long-term refrigeration. However, mRNA encapsulated without choline chloride exhibited a significant loss of integrity after 180 days of storage at 4°C.
