Abstract
Description
[0001] This invention claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. CN202310693838.2, filed on June 12, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Invention Field
[0002] This invention belongs to the pharmaceutical field and specifically relates to a delivery carrier for delivering double-stranded RNA to extrahepatic tissues, such as the central nervous system or the eye, wherein the delivery carrier is a sugar modified with a hydrophobic group, such as a compound of formula (X), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, tautomer or stereoisomer thereof. Background Technology
[0003] RNA interference is a phenomenon in which target mRNA is efficiently and specifically degraded by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA, also known as siRNA).
[0004] However, the presence of the blood-brain barrier makes it difficult to deliver siRNA to the central nervous system to exert its effects, which limits the application of siRNA. Several attempts have been made in this field to deliver siRNA to the central nervous system. For example, WO2004094595A2 discloses the delivery of siRNA using a single lipid ligand (e.g., cholesterol or long-chain alkanes) at the chain end, WO2019217459A1 discloses the delivery of siRNA using a single lipid ligand inside the chain, and WO2021092371A2 discloses a series of novel lipid ligand structures.
[0005] There is still a need in this field to develop more hydrophobic groups to more effectively deliver siRNA to the central nervous system. Summary of the Invention

[0054] Other definitions
[0055] The term "siRNA" in this article refers to a class of double-stranded RNA molecules that can mediate the silencing of a complementary target RNA (e.g., mRNA, such as transcripts of genes encoding proteins). siRNA is typically double-stranded, consisting of an antisense strand complementary to the target RNA and a sense strand complementary to that antisense strand. For convenience, such mRNA is also referred to herein as the mRNA to be silenced. Such genes are also referred to as target genes. Typically, the RNA to be silenced is an endogenous gene or a pathogen gene. Additionally, RNAs other than mRNA (e.g., tRNA) and viral RNA can also be targeted.
[0056] The term "antisense oligonucleotide" (ASO) refers to a single-stranded DNA or RNA sequence consisting of 15-25 nucleotides that are paired with a target gene. It achieves gene regulation by specifically blocking the transcription or translation of the target gene.
[0057] The term "antisense strand" refers to a strand of siRNA that contains regions that are completely, sufficiently, or substantially complementary to the target sequence. The term "sense strand" refers to a strand of siRNA that includes regions that are completely, sufficiently, or substantially complementary to the regions defined herein as antisense strands.
[0058] The term "complementary region" refers to a region on the antisense strand that is completely, fully, or substantially complementary to the target mRNA sequence. In cases where the complementary region is not perfectly complementary to the target sequence, mismatches can occur within the molecule or at the ends. Typically, the most tolerant mismatches are located in the end regions, for example, within 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 nucleotides at the 5' and / or 3' ends. The portion of the antisense strand most sensitive to mismatches is called the "seed region." For example, in a siRNA containing a 19-nt strand, the 19th position (from 5' to 3') can tolerate some mismatches.
[0059] The term "complementary" refers to the ability of a first polynucleotide to hybridize with a second polynucleotide under certain conditions, such as stringent conditions. For example, stringent conditions may include 400 mM NaCl, 40 mM PIPES at pH 6.4, and 1 mM EDTA at 50 or 70°C for 12–16 hours. In terms of meeting the above requirements regarding their hybridization ability, a "complementary" sequence may also include base pairs formed entirely from non-Watson-Crick base pairs and / or from non-natural and modified nucleotides. Such non-Watson-Crick base pairs include, but are not limited to, G:U swing base pairings or Hoogstein base pairs.
[0060] A polynucleotide that is “at least partially complementary,” “fully complementary,” or “substantially complementary” to messenger RNA (mRNA) refers to a polynucleotide that is substantially complementary to a continuous portion of the mRNA of interest. For example, a polynucleotide is at least partially complementary to PCSK9 mRNA if the sequence is substantially complementary to an uninterrupted portion of the mRNA encoding PCSK9. The terms “complementary,” “fully complementary,” “fully complementary,” and “substantially complementary” can be used relative to base pairing between the sense and antisense strands of the siRNA, or between the antisense strand of the siRNA reagent and the target sequence.
[0061] "Perfect complementarity" means that in order to maintain the overall double-stranded character of the molecule, the sense strand only needs to be complementary to the antisense strand to a certain extent. In other words, although perfect complementarity is usually required, in some cases, especially in the antisense strand, there may be one or more mismatches (relative to the target mRNA), such as 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1, but the sense and antisense strands can still maintain the overall double-stranded character of the molecule.
[0062] "Nucleoside" is a compound composed of two substances: a purine or pyrimidine base and ribose or deoxyribose. "Nucleotide" is a compound composed of three substances: a purine or pyrimidine base, ribose or deoxyribose, and phosphate. "Oligonucleotide" refers to nucleic acid molecules (RNA or DNA) with a length of less than 100, 200, 300, or 400 nucleotides.
[0063] A "base" is the basic building block for the synthesis of nucleosides, nucleotides, and nucleic acids. Its constituent elements include nitrogen, hence it is also called a "nitrogenous base." In this article, unless otherwise specified, the capital letters A, U, T, G, and C represent the base composition of nucleotides, namely adenine, uracil, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, respectively.
[0064] The term "modification" of nucleotides as used herein includes, but is not limited to, methoxy modification, fluorination modification, thiophosphate linkage, or conventional protecting group protection. For example, a fluorinated nucleotide refers to a nucleotide in which the hydroxyl group at the 2' position of the ribosome is replaced by fluorine, and a methoxy modified nucleotide refers to a nucleotide in which the 2'-hydroxyl group of the ribosome is replaced by a methoxy group.
[0065] In this document, "modified nucleotides" include, but are not limited to, nucleotides modified with 2'-O-methyl, nucleotides modified with 2'-fluorine, nucleotides modified with 2'-deoxy-, inosine ribonucleotides, debased nucleotides, reverse abased deoxyribonucleotides, nucleotides containing a thiophosphate group, nucleotides modified with vinyl phosphate, locked nucleotides, nucleotides modified with 2'-amino, nucleotides modified with 2'-alkyl, morpholinonucleotides, aminophosphates, non-natural bases containing nucleotides, and terminal nucleotides linked to cholesterol derivatives or dodecanoic acid diecamide groups, deoxyribonucleotides, or those protected by conventional protecting groups. For example, a nucleotide modified with 2'-fluorine refers to a nucleotide in which the hydroxyl group at the 2' position of the ribosyl group is replaced by fluorine. A nucleotide modified with 2'-deoxy- refers to a nucleotide in which the 2'-hydroxyl group of the ribosyl group is replaced by a methoxy group.
[0066] "Reactive phosphorus group" refers to a phosphorus-containing group contained in a nucleotide unit or nucleotide analog unit that can react with a hydroxyl or amino group contained in another molecule, particularly in another nucleotide unit or another nucleotide analog, via a nucleophilic attack reaction. Typically, such a reaction produces an ester-type nucleoside bond linking the first nucleotide unit or the first nucleotide analog unit to the second nucleotide unit or the second nucleotide analog unit. The reactive phosphorus group can be selected from phosphorous amides, H-phosphonates, alkyl-phosphonates, phosphate esters, or phosphate ester analogs, including but not limited to: native phosphate esters, thiophosphate esters, dithiophosphate esters, boron phosphate esters, boron thiophosphate esters, phosphonates, halogen-substituted phosphonates and phosphate esters, aminophosphate esters, phosphate diesters, phosphate triesters, thiophosphate diesters, thiophosphate triesters, diphosphate esters, and triphosphate esters, preferably -P(OCH2CH2CN)(N(iPr)2).
[0067] A "protecting group" is any atom or group of atoms added to a molecule to prevent existing groups in the molecule from undergoing undesirable chemical reactions. A protecting group can be an unstable chemical motif known in the art, used to protect reactive groups, such as hydroxyl, amino, and thiol groups, from unwanted or untimely reactions during chemical synthesis. Protecting groups are typically used selectively and / or orthogonally to protect sites during reactions at other reactive sites, and can then be removed to leave unprotected groups intact or usable for further reactions.
[0068] A non-limiting list of protecting groups includes benzyl; substituted benzyl; alkyl carbonyl and alkoxy carbonyl (e.g., tert-butoxy carbonyl (BOC), acetyl, or isobutyryl); arylalkyl carbonyl and arylalkoxy carbonyl (e.g., benzyloxy carbonyl); substituted methyl ether (e.g., methoxymethyl ether); substituted diethyl ether; substituted benzyl ether; tetrahydropyranyl ether; silyl (e.g., trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, triisopropylsilyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, tri-isopropylsilyloxymethyl, [2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)). Methyl or tert-butyldiphenylsilyl); esters (e.g., benzoates); carbonates (e.g., methoxymethyl carbonate); sulfonates (e.g., toluenesulfonates or methanesulfonates); noncyclic ketals (e.g., dimethyl acetal); cyclic ketals (e.g., 1,3-dioxane, 1,3-dioxolane, and those described herein); noncyclic acetals; cycloacetals (e.g., those described herein); noncyclic hemiacetals; cyclic hemiacetals; cyclic dithioketals (e.g., 1,3-dithiane or 1,3-dithiopentane); orthoesters (e.g., those described herein); and triarylmethyl groups. (For example, triphenylmethyl; monomethoxytriphenylmethyl (MMTr); 4,4′-dimethoxytriphenylmethyl (DMTr); 4,4′,4″-trimethoxytriphenylmethyl (TMTr); and those described herein). Preferred protecting groups are selected from acetyl (Ac), benzoyl (Bzl), benzyl (Bn), isobutyryl (iBu), phenylacetyl, benzyloxymethylacetal (BOM), β-methoxyethoxymethyl ether (MEM), methoxymethyl ether (MOM), p-methoxybenzyl ether (PMB), methyl thiomethyl ether, new Vanoyl (Piv), Tetrahydropyranyl (THP), Triphenylmethyl (Trt), Methoxytriphenylmethyl[(4-methoxyphenyl)diphenylmethyl] (MMT), Dimethoxytriphenylmethyl, [bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)phenylmethyl (DMT), Trimethylsilyl ether (TMS), Tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether (TBDMS), Tri-isopropylsilyloxymethyl ether (TOM), Tri-isopropylsilyl ether (TIPS), Methyl ether, Ethoxyethyl ether (EE), N,N-dimethylformamidinium and 2-cyanoethyl (CE).
[0069] A "hydroxyl protecting group" is a group that prevents the hydroxyl group from undergoing chemical reactions and can be removed under specific conditions to restore the hydroxyl group. These mainly include silane-type protecting groups, acyl-type protecting groups, or ether-type protecting groups, with the following being preferred:
[0070] Trimethylsilyl (TMS), Triethylsilyl (TES), Dimethylisopropylsilyl (DMIPS), Diethylisopropylsilyl (DEIPS), Tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS), Tert-butyldiphenylsilyl (TBDPS), Triisopropylsilyl (TIPS), Acetyl (Ac), Chloroacetyl, Dichloroacetyl, Trichloroacetyl, Trifluoroacetyl (TFA), Benzoyl, p-Methoxybenzoyl, 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc), Allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc), 2,2,2-Trichloroethoxycarbonyl (Troc), Benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), Tert-Butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) Benzyl (Bn), p-methoxybenzyl (PMB), allyl, triphenylmethyl (Tr), bis-p-methoxytriphenylmethyl (DMTr), methoxymethyl (MOM), phenoxymethyl (BOM), 2,2,2-trichloroethoxymethyl, 2-methoxyethoxymethyl (MEM), methylthiomethyl (MTM), p-methoxybenzylmethyl (PMBM), -C(O)CH2CH2C(O)OH or 4,4'-dimethoxytriphenylmethyl, preferably -C(O)CH2CH2C(O)OH or 4,4'-dimethoxytriphenylmethyl, more preferably -C(O)CH2CH2C(O)OH.
[0071] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to carboxylates and amino acid addition salts of the compounds of the present invention that are suitable for contact with patient tissues within the limits of reliable medical judgment, without producing undue toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, etc., and are effective for their intended use in proportion to a reasonable benefit / risk ratio, including (where possible) zwitterionic forms of the compounds of the present invention.
[0072] This invention includes tautomers, which are functional group isomers resulting from the rapid movement of an atom in a molecule to two positions. A compound exists in different tautomer forms, and a compound is not limited to any particular tautomer, but is intended to encompass all tautomer forms.
[0073] The compounds of this invention may include one or more asymmetric centers and therefore may exist in a variety of stereoisomeric forms, such as enantiomers and / or diastereomers. For example, the compounds of this invention may be individual enantiomers, diastereomers, or geometric isomers (e.g., cis and trans isomers), or may be in the form of mixtures of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures rich in one or more stereoisomers. The isomers can be separated from the mixture by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis.
[0074] The present invention also includes isotopically labeled compounds (isotopic variants) that are equivalent to those described in formula (I), but in which one or more atoms are replaced by atoms with atomic masses or mass numbers different from those commonly found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be introduced into the compounds of the present invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, respectively, for example... 2 H, 3 H, 13 C 11 C 14 C 15 N、 18 O、 17 O、 31 P, 32 P, 35 S, 18 F and 36 Cl. Other isotopes of the present invention containing the aforementioned isotopes and / or other atoms, their prodrugs, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds or said prodrugs are all within the scope of this invention. Certain isotope-labeled compounds of the present invention, for example, those incorporating radioactive isotopes (e.g.,...) 3 H and 14 Those in category C) can be used for drug and / or substrate tissue distribution determination. Tritium, i.e. 3 H and carbon-14, i.e. 14 Carbon isotopes are particularly preferred because they are easy to prepare and detect. Subsequently, they are replaced by heavier isotopes, such as deuterium, i.e., 2 H, because higher metabolic stability can provide therapeutic benefits, such as prolonged in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, may be preferred in some cases. Isotope-labeled compounds of formula (I) of the present invention and their prodrugs can generally be prepared by using readily available isotope-labeled reagents instead of non-isotope-labeled reagents when performing the processes described below and / or the techniques disclosed in the examples and preparation examples.

[0453] 1. Preparation of siRNA without ligands attached to the 3' end of the positive strand
[0454] 1.1 Synthesis of the Justice Chain (SS Chain)
[0455] The oligonucleotide was synthesized using a solid-phase phosphoramide method, employing a blank CPG solid-phase support as the starting cycle. Nucleoside monomers were sequentially linked from the 3'-5' direction according to the nucleotide arrangement of the positive strand. Each linkage of a nucleoside monomer involved four steps: deprotection, coupling, capping, and oxidation or thiolation. The synthetic scale was 5 μmol. The synthetic conditions are as follows:
[0456] Nucleoside monomers were provided in 0.05 mol / L acetonitrile solution. The reaction conditions were identical for each step, i.e., a temperature of 25°C. Deprotection was performed three times using a 3% trichloroacetic acid-dichloromethane solution. The coupling reaction was activated twice using a 0.25 mol / L 5-ethylthiotetrazole (ETT)-acetonitrile solution. Capping was performed twice using a 10% acetic anhydride-acetonitrile and pyridine / N-methylimidazolium / acetonitrile mixture (10:14:76, v / v / v). Oxidation was performed twice using a 0.05 mol / L iodine-tetrahydrofuran / pyridine / water mixture (70 / 20 / 10, v / v / v). Thiolation was performed twice using a 0.2 mol / L phenylacetyl disulfide (PADS) mixture of acetonitrile / 3-methylpyridine (1 / 1, v / v).
[0457] 1.2 Synthesis of the antisense chain (AS chain)
[0458] The solid-phase phosphoramide synthesis method utilizes a blank CPG solid-phase support as the starting cycle, and nucleoside monomers are sequentially linked from the 3'-5' direction according to the nucleotide arrangement sequence of the antisense strand. Each linkage of a nucleoside monomer involves four steps: deprotection, coupling, capping, and oxidation or thiolation. The synthesis conditions for 5 μmol oligonucleotides of the antisense strand are the same as those for the sense strand.
