Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of drug carriers, and in particular relates to an amino acid skeleton ionizable lipid and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cancer vaccines are generally classified into four types: tumor or immune cell vaccines, peptide vaccines, viral vector vaccines, and nucleic acid vaccines. Nucleic acid-based vaccines are a very promising type of vaccine (e.g., DNA or RNA vaccines). RNA-based therapies primarily include antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), small interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA (miRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), and circular RNA (circRNA). By manipulating different modes of action, they show great promise in treating a wide range of diseases. First, nucleic acid vaccines can simultaneously deliver multiple antigens, such as tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) or somatic tumor mutations, triggering humoral and cellular immunity and reducing vaccine resistance. Second, unlike peptide vaccines, nucleic acid vaccines allow APCs to simultaneously or cross-present multiple epitopes of class I and class II patient-specific human leukocyte antigens (HLAs), thus being less restricted by human HLA types and more likely to stimulate a broader T cell response. However, due to the inherent negative charge and instability of RNA molecules, RNA has difficulty breaking through biological barriers and reaching the cytoplasm. To overcome this problem, RNA requires a safe, effective, and stable delivery system to protect nucleic acids from degradation and accelerate cellular uptake and effective release of RNA. Currently, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used in the field of drug delivery, but RNA vaccines still require more efficient delivery systems.

[0003] Nucleic acid delivery systems can be broadly divided into two categories: viral vectors and non-viral vectors. Viral vectors offer relatively high transfection efficiency, but they suffer from issues such as poor safety and targeting. Over the past few decades, liposomes, as a representative example of non-viral delivery systems, have rapidly developed. A new class of lipids, ionizable lipids, has been developed. These lipids can be protonated at weakly acidic pH, imparting a positive charge while remaining neutral at physiological pH. The pH sensitivity of ionizable lipids facilitates mRNA delivery in vivo, as neutral lipids interact less with the anionic membranes of blood cells, thereby improving the biocompatibility of nanoparticles. However, when lipid nanoparticles are placed in endosomes at weakly acidic pH, the ionizable lipids acquire a charge, promoting membrane destabilization and enhancing the nanoparticle's endosomal escape. However, ionizable lipids still have the following problems: (1) Toxicity issues: Ionizable lipids are the key components in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that trigger acute immune responses and long-term toxicity, but the lipid structure still needs to be further optimized; (2) Synthesis complexity: The current synthesis process of ionizable lipids is cumbersome and requires multi-step reactions and complex purification steps, which limits large-scale production and rapid screening; (3) Low delivery efficiency: Low endosomal escape is a common delivery efficiency problem of lipid nanoparticles, and more in-depth research is still needed to optimize the endosomal escape mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problems of the above-mentioned prior art, one object of the present invention is to provide an ionizable amino acid backbone lipid. A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing an ionizable amino acid backbone lipid. A third object of the present invention is to provide a lipid composition. A fourth object of the present invention is to provide the use of the above-mentioned ionizable amino acid backbone lipid and lipid composition in a delivery vehicle. A fifth object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition. A sixth object of the present invention is to provide the use of the above-mentioned ionizable amino acid backbone lipid and pharmaceutical composition in the preparation of a medicament.

[0005] The present invention proposes an amino acid backbone ionizable lipid, the chemical structure of which contains three components: (i) an ionizable head group, (ii) a linker group, and (iii) a hydrophobic tail. The head group is a tertiary or secondary amine group, which can acquire protons at acidic pH, thereby carrying a positive charge. It can bind to negatively charged nucleic acid molecules or small molecule drugs through electrostatic interactions and then self-assemble with auxiliary lipids into lipid nanoparticles to deliver gene drugs. The hydrophobic tail structure has 2 to 4 more tail groups than the common double-tailed lipids in the prior art. Due to the increased cross-section of the tail region, this lipid produces a more tapered structure, giving it stronger endosome-destroying ability and enhancing delivery efficiency. Moreover, the tail is synthesized based on amino acids and has excellent biosafety. In response to a series of problems encountered in current gene drug delivery, such as low efficiency and high toxicity, this amino acid backbone ionizable lipid balances degradability in its chemical structure design, ensuring lipid safety while maintaining overall delivery efficiency. In addition, the preparation method of the amino acid skeleton ionized lipid of the present invention is different from the harsh and complex synthesis route of traditional cationic lipids. An ionizable lipid library can be obtained through Michael addition, which has the advantages of a simple synthesis route, a clear reaction mechanism, and is convenient for high-throughput screening.

Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials used in the following examples can be obtained from conventional commercial sources or prepared and isolated by simple synthesis; unless otherwise specified, the processes used are conventional processes in the art.

[0087] The general preparation method of the partial amino acid backbone ionizable lipid of the present invention has the following specific steps:

The reaction mixture was reacted for 24 hours until the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel, DCM (2 x 100 mL) was added, and 1M HCl (2 x 100 mL) was used for washing, and saturated brine (2 x 200 mL) was extracted. The collected organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered, and then the organic solvent was removed using a reduced pressure rotary evaporator. The product was separated by thin layer chromatography.

[0090] Removal of amino protecting groups: Dissolve the product in 30 mL of DCM, add 20 mL of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), and stir at room temperature for 4 h. Remove the organic solvent using a rotary evaporator under reduced pressure, then redissolve in 150 mL of DCM, wash with saturated sodium bicarbonate (2 x 100 mL), and extract with saturated brine (2 x 100 mL). The collected organic layer is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The organic solvent is then removed using a rotary evaporator under reduced pressure. The product is then carried on to the next step without further purification.

[0091] (2) Synthesis of linking groups

[0092] To a three-necked flask equipped with a magnetic separator, 5 mmol of the amino acid backbone alkyl tail product synthesized in the previous step, 7.5 mmol of TEA, and 20 mL of DCM were added sequentially. The flask was pre-cooled in an ice bath for 30 minutes. Using a constant pressure funnel, 6.25 mmol of acryloyl chloride (premixed in 10 mL of dichloromethane) was slowly added dropwise. After the addition of acryloyl chloride was complete, the ice bath was removed. The reaction was allowed to react overnight at room temperature, then diluted with DCM (30 mL) and washed with 1 M HCl (50 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The product was then isolated by flash chromatography.

[0093] (3) Reaction between head group and tail group

[0094] The chemically equivalent alkyl tail synthesized in step (2) and 100 mg of amine were added sequentially into a 3 mL reaction bottle lined with tetrafluoroethylene. The reaction was heated at 90°C for 48 h. After the reaction, the product could be directly used for cell transfection experiments or separated by rapid chromatography.

[0220] Lipid experimental characterization

[0221] 1. Characterization of enzyme delivery efficiency of fluorescent proteins and luciferin

[0222] The efficiency of LNPs containing ionizable lipids in delivering plasmids encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) and firefly luciferase (Luc) (DNA-GFP-Luc) was verified in 293T cell lines. The ionizable lipids 1GluOC18, 8GluOC18, 3GluOC18U, 4GluOC18U, 12GluOC18U, 13GluOC18U, 17GluO18U, 1AspOC18U, 3AspOC18U, 1AspOC8, 1AspOC10, 8GluOC18U, 9AspOC8, 9AspOC10, 9GluOC18U, 13AspOC8, 13AspOC10 were used. , 13AspOC8C10, 11AspOC8, 11AspOC10, 16AspOC10, 16AspOC18U, 17AspOC10, 17AspOC18U, 19AspOC18U , 19AspOC8C10, 22AspOC18U, 21G; uNC18U, 16GluOC18U, 20GluOC18U, 21GluOC18U, 1GluOC18U2, 9GluOC 18U2, 16GluOC18U2, 17GluOC18U2, 9GluOC18U, 16GluOC18U, 19GluOC18U, 25GluOC18U, 26GluOC18U, 2 7GluOC18U, 29GluOC18U, 30GluOC18U, 31GluOC18U, 32GluOC18U, 33GluOC18U, 34GluOC18U, 17GayOC18 U, 29GayOC18U, 34GayOC18U, 17PheOC18U, 29PheOC18U, 34PheOC18U, 17ValOC18U, 29ValOC18U, 34ValOC18U, 17MetOC18U, 29MetOC18U, 34MetOC18U and commercial materials ALC-0315 and SM-102 were used as delivery materials to express DNA-GFP-Luc in cells.

[0223] Specific steps:

[0224] (1) Cell culture: The day before the experiment, cultured 293T cells were seeded in a 96-well cell culture plate. After the cell density grew to about 70-80%, the cell transfection experiment was performed.

[0225] (2) Preparation of lipid nanoparticles LNP-DNA-GFP-Luc for cell transfection

[0226] The aforementioned ionizable lipids were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol with DSPC, Cholesterol, and DSPE-PEG at concentrations of 10, 3, 6, and 1 mg / mL, respectively. The mixture was then uniformly mixed at a molar ratio of ionizable lipid: Cholesterol: DSPC: DSPE-PEG = 40:48:10:2. Simultaneously, an appropriate amount of DNA-GFP-Luc was dissolved in sodium citrate buffer (the volume of sodium citrate buffer was three times the total volume of the lipid mixture, pH = 4.0-4.5). The DNA buffer and lipid mixture solutions were then rapidly mixed and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes to assemble stable LNPs (150 ng of DNA-GFP-Luc was transfected per well). The LNPs were diluted with two volumes of sterile PBS and added to 96-well cell culture plates for transfection. The nitrogen-phosphorus ratio of the ionizable lipid to the nucleic acid was 6:1, i.e., the molar ratio between the protonated amino group and the phosphate group on the nucleic acid (the same applies below).

[0227] Positive control group: commercial lipids ALC-0315 and SM-102 were used to assemble into LNPs according to the published preparation method. The specific operation is as follows: ALC-0315 or SM-102, DSPC, Cholesterol, ALC-0159 or DMG-PEG 2000 Dissolved in anhydrous ethanol at concentrations of 5 mg / mL, 1.5 mg / mL, 3 mg / mL, and 1 mg / mL, and prepared according to the following formulas: ALC-0315: Cholesterol: DSPC: ALC-0159 = 46.3: 42.7: 9.4: 1.6 or SM-102: Cholesterol: DSPC: DMG-PEG 2000 =50:38.5:10:1.5 molar ratio was uniformly mixed. Meanwhile, an appropriate amount of DNA-GFP-Luc was dissolved in sodium citrate buffer (the volume of sodium citrate buffer was three times the total volume of the lipid mixture, pH = 4.0). The DNA buffer and lipid mixture solution were then rapidly mixed and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes to assemble stable LNPs (150 ng of DNA-GFP-Luc LNPs were transfected per well). The LNPs were diluted with two volumes of sterile PBS and added to 96-well cell culture plates for transfection. The nitrogen-phosphorus ratio of ALC-0315 and SM-102 to nucleic acid was 6:1.

[0228] Negative control group: 293T cells were cultured normally and unencapsulated DNA-GFP-Luc was added.

[0229] (3) Analysis of cell transfection efficiency

[0230] 36 hours after cell transfection, the expression of green fluorescent protein was detected using a fluorescence microscope; the culture medium of the 96-well cell culture plate was aspirated, and the cells were lysed on ice for 30 minutes after adding cell lysis buffer. After centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred to a white 96-well detection plate, and the firefly luciferase substrate was added. The firefly luciferase content (chemiluminescence) was detected using a microplate reader. The relative luciferase activity results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 1 As shown. The results show that the ionizable lipids synthesized by the present invention can greatly enhance the transfection efficiency of nucleic acids. When the tail of the ionizable lipid is GluO18U or AspOC18U, the RNA expression efficiency is the highest. When the tail is GluO8 or AspOC8, the RNA expression efficiency is weak. The transfection efficiency of lipids represented by 29GluO18U, 34GluO18U, and 17AspOC18U is better than that of commercial lipids ALC-0315 and SM-102, with an efficiency increase of about 2 to 3 times, verifying the rationality and high efficiency of the overall chemical structure of the ionizable lipids designed by the present invention.

[0231] 2. LNP component optimization experiment

[0232] The efficiency of LNP delivery of saRNA-GFP-Luc containing ionizable lipids was verified in the 293T cell line. The composition of LNP was optimized using the ionizable lipid 17LGluO18U.

[0233] Specific steps:

[0234] (1) Referring to the above experimental method, the ionizable lipid used in the experimental group was: 17GluO18U. The ionizable lipids, DOPE, DSPC or DOPC, Cholesterol or β-sitosterol, DSPE-PEG or DMG-PEG, were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol at a concentration of 10 mg / mL, 3 mg / mL, 6 mg / mL, and 1 mg / mL, respectively. The ratio of ionizable lipid 17LGluO18U: (Cholesterol or β-sitosterol): (DOPE, DSPC or DOPC): (DSPE-PEG or DMG-PEG) = 40:48:10:2.

[0235] (2) Analysis of cell transfection efficiency

[0236] 36 hours after transfection, the expression of green fluorescent protein was detected using a fluorescence microscope; the culture medium of the 96-well cell culture plate was aspirated, and the cells were lysed on ice for 30 minutes after adding cell lysis buffer. After centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred to a white 96-well detection plate, and the firefly luciferase substrate was added. The firefly luciferase content (chemiluminescence) was detected using a microplate reader. The relative luciferase activity results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2As shown in (a) in the figure. The results show that the chemical structure of the neutral co-phospholipid significantly affects RNA delivery efficiency. When DSPC is the neutral co-phospholipid, the delivery efficiency of the three ionizable lipids is significantly better than that of DOPE or DOPC, so DSPC is the preferred neutral co-phospholipid. Cholesterol is preferred over β-sitosterol. The chain length of PEG significantly affects RNA delivery efficiency, and the shorter DMG-PEG is preferred.

[0237] 3. LNP component ratio optimization experiment

[0238] The efficiency of LNP delivery of saRNA-GFP-Luc containing ionizable lipids was verified in the 293T cell line. The ratio of each component in LNP was optimized using the ionizable lipid 17LGluO18U.

The firefly luciferase content (chemiluminescence) was detected using a microplate reader. The relative luciferase activity results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2The results show that the molar ratio of the components of LNP also affects the RNA delivery efficiency to a certain extent, and the optimal ratio is ionizable lipid: Cholesterol: DSPC: DMG-PEG = 40:48:10:1.5.

[0243] 4. LNP nitrogen-phosphorus ratio optimization experiment

[0247] (2) Analysis of cell transfection efficiency

[0248] 36 hours after transfection, the expression of green fluorescent protein was detected using a fluorescence microscope; the culture medium of the 96-well cell culture plate was aspirated, and the cells were lysed on ice for 30 minutes after adding cell lysis buffer. After centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred to a white 96-well detection plate, and the firefly luciferase substrate was added.

The solution for premixing RNA was sodium acetate or sodium citrate buffer, and the nitrogen-phosphorus ratio for preparing LNPs was 6:1.

[0253] (2) Analysis of cell transfection efficiency

[0254] 36 hours after transfection, the expression of green fluorescent protein was detected using a fluorescence microscope; the culture medium of the 96-well cell culture plate was aspirated, and the cells were lysed on ice for 30 minutes after adding cell lysis buffer.

[0261] 7. In vivo imaging system characterization

[0262] LNPs containing ionizable lipids 9GluOC18U, 17GluOC18U, 25GluOC18U, 29GluOC18U, 33GluOC18U, 34GluOC18U and commercial lipids SM-102 and ALC-0315 were used to deliver chemically synthesized modified messenger ribonucleotides (modRNA-Luc) encoding firefly luciferase in Balb / c mice. The expression of the reporter gene luciferase was detected using an in vivo imaging system (IVIS) 6 hours after intravenous injection.

[0263] Specific steps:

[0264] (1) Referring to the above experimental method, the ionizable lipids used in the experimental group were: 9GluOC18U, 17GluOC18U, 25GluOC18U, 29GluOC18U, 33GluOC18U, and 34GluOC18U. The ionizable lipids, DSPC, Cholesterol, and DMG-PEG were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol at concentrations of 10 mg / mL, 6 mg / mL, 12 mg / mL, and 5 mg / mL, respectively. An appropriate amount of modRNA-Luc was dissolved in sodium acetate buffer (the volume of sodium acetate buffer was twice the total volume of the lipid mixture, pH = 4.0). The buffer containing modRNA-Luc was added to the ethanol solution of the lipid mixture and quickly mixed to assemble LNPs. The mixed solution was incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes, dialyzed in PBS for 1 hour using a dialysis bag (MWCO = 14000 MW), and then injected into the tail vein (each injection contained 5 μg of modRNA-Luc LNPs). The ratio of ionizable lipids 9GluOC18U, 17GluOC18U, 25GluOC18U, 29GluOC18U, 33GluOC18U, or 34GluOC18U: Cholesterol: DSPC: DMG-PEG was 40:48.5:10:1.5. The RNA premix solution was sodium citrate buffer, and the nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio for LNP preparation was 6:1.

[0265] Positive control group: commercial lipids ALC-0315 and SM-102 were used to assemble the corresponding positive control LNPs according to the published preparation method. The specific operation is as follows: ALC-0315 or SM-102, DSPC, Cholesterol, ALC-0159 or DMG-PEG 2000 The mRNA was dissolved in anhydrous ethanol at concentrations of 5 mg / mL, 1.5 mg / mL, 3 mg / mL, and 1 mg / mL, and uniformly mixed according to a molar ratio of ALC-0315: Cholesterol: DSPC: ALC-0159 = 46.3: 42.7: 9.4: 1.6 or SM-102: Cholesterol: DSPC: DMG-PEG2000 = 50: 38.5: 10: 1.5.

The mRNA-containing buffer was then quickly mixed with the lipid mixture solution, incubated at room temperature for 15 min to assemble into LNPs, and then dialyzed in PBS for 1 h using a dialysis bag (MWCO = 14000 MW) and injected into the tail vein (5 μg of modRNA-Luc LNPs were injected per injection). The nitrogen-phosphorus ratio of ALC-0315, SM-102 and mRNA is 6:1.

[0266] (2) Analysis of in vivo imaging results

[0267] IVIS results showed that 6 h after tail vein injection (e.g. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 ), the expression intensity of the ionizable lipids 29GluOC18U and 34GluOC18U of the present invention is better than that of the commercial lipids SM-102 and ALC-0315, and has excellent organ targeting and can accurately target the spleen.

[0268] According to literature, most ionizable lipid-loaded nucleic acids are expressed in multiple organs throughout the body after intravenous injection, with a tropism for the liver. However, the ionizable lipids of the present invention can precisely target the spleen. As the spleen is the largest immune organ in the body, spleen-targeted LNPs could lead to more significant immunotherapeutic effects in nucleic acid therapy applications.

It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
