Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and more particularly to a lipid compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a method for its preparation, lipid nanoparticles, and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the safe and efficient delivery of nucleic acid molecules to specific target cells and protection against intracellular degradation have been among the technological bottlenecks hindering the development of nucleic acid drugs. An ideal nucleic acid delivery vector must simultaneously meet the requirements of biosafety, in vivo circulation stability, and organ-targeting specificity, which is of great significance to the therapeutic efficacy of nucleic acid drugs.

[0003] Lipid nanoparticles, as an advanced nucleic acid delivery carrier, have shown application potential in the field of nucleic acid drug delivery. Lipid compounds, as key functional components of lipid nanoparticles, influence their stability and biocompatibility through their chemical structure and physicochemical properties. Specifically, lipid compounds self-assemble with nucleic acid molecules to form nanoparticles. These nanoparticles can mediate the penetration of nucleic acid molecules through the target cell membrane barrier, enabling the delivery and release of nucleic acid molecules into the target cell cytoplasm, thereby triggering targeted therapeutic effects or immunomodulatory functions.

[0004] Therefore, more lipid compounds capable of efficiently delivering nucleic acid molecules need to be studied. Summary of the Invention

However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention for ease of explanation. However, it will be apparent that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

[0023] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The term "comprising" as used herein indicates the presence of features, steps, or operations, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features.

[0024] In this invention, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a relatively non-toxic organic or inorganic acid addition salt of a compound of formula (I). Inorganic acids include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, etc., while organic acids include, formic acid, acetic acid, acetoacetic acid, pyruvic acid, butyric acid, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, undecanoic acid, lauric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, picric acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, dodecyl sulfuric acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, itaconic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, malic acid, adipic acid, alginic acid, maleic acid, D-gluconic acid, aspartic acid, etc.

[0025] In this invention, C a ~C b The expression indicates that the group has a to b number of carbon atoms. Unless otherwise specified, this number of carbon atoms generally does not include the number of carbon atoms of the substituents.

[0026] In this invention, the term "alkyl" may include a branched or straight-chain saturated aliphatic monovalent hydrocarbon group having a specified number of carbon atoms. Examples of C1 to C5 alkyl groups include: methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, etc.

[0027] Lipid delivery systems offer advantages such as simple lipid component synthesis, scalable preparation processes, and wide applicability in packaging. Lipid nanoparticles have already found widespread use in drug delivery. Therefore, it is necessary to synthesize a series of structurally optimized lipid compounds for the delivery of nucleic acid drugs.

[0028] In the process of realizing this invention, it was discovered that the symmetrical structure on the N atom in the lipid compound helps to improve the delivery efficiency of nucleic acid drugs. Simultaneously, its synergistic effect with the hydrophilic head, tetraester bond, and hydrophobic tail in the lipid compound gives the lipid compound good biodegradability, chemical stability, and targeting, further ensuring the delivery efficiency of nucleic acid drugs.

[0029] Specifically, according to one aspect of the present invention, a lipid compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is provided, having the structural formula shown in formula (I):

[0030] Formula (I);

[0031] Where R is C1~C 10 Hydroxyalkyl or substituted or unsubstituted C2~C 10 Ether; X is C1~C 20 Straight-chain or branched alkyl; Y is C1~C 20 Straight-chain or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon groups; with or without the above-mentioned substituted or unsubstituted C2~C 10 When the ether has a substituent, the substituent is selected from hydroxyl groups.

[0032] According to embodiments of the present invention, the lipid compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt comprises a hydrophilic head, a tetraester bond, and a hydrophobic tail. Simultaneously, the two branches connected to the N atom by the ester bond have identical structures and exhibit symmetry. This highly symmetrical structure contributes to improving the delivery efficiency of the lipid compound for nucleic acid drugs. This symmetrical structure optimizes the molecular configuration and charge distribution of the lipid compound, promoting the formation of a functionally complementary overall structure with the hydrophilic head, tetraester bond, and hydrophobic tail, thereby collectively endowing the lipid compound with excellent comprehensive properties. The tetraester bond structure provides the structural basis for biodegradability, and combined with the optimization of molecular metabolic pathways by the symmetrical structure, enables the lipid compound to be efficiently degraded within cells through enzymatic hydrolysis, reducing cumulative toxicity. The stability regulation of the symmetrical structure by the hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail endows the lipid compound with good chemical stability, ensuring that it maintains structural integrity during in vivo circulation and effectively protecting nucleic acid drugs from degradation. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of the above structures can also optimize the surface properties and particle size distribution of the constructed lipid nanoparticles, enhancing their targeted recognition and binding ability to target cells, further ensuring the targeted delivery efficiency of nucleic acid drugs.

[0033] It can be understood that the aliphatic hydrocarbon groups here include saturated alkane groups, unsaturated alkene groups, and unsaturated alkyne groups, or combinations of the aforementioned groups.

[0034] In some implementations, R is selected from any of the following structures:

[0035] In this diagram, the dashed lines represent connection sites. This arrangement helps to further regulate the surface charge and polarity of the lipid nanoparticles constructed from the lipid compounds of this invention, promoting their interaction with the cell membrane and facilitating the delivery and expression of nucleic acid drugs.

[0036] In some implementations, X is selected from any of the following structures:

[0037] In this diagram, the dashed lines represent connection sites. Branching helps reduce the packing density of lipid tail chains, improves membrane fluidity, and makes it easier to disrupt cell membrane integrity when lysosomal acidification triggers lipid protonation, creating channels for nucleic acid escape and thus enhancing the lysosomal escape efficiency of nucleic acids.

[0038] In some implementations, Y is selected from any of the following structures:

[0039] In this diagram, the dashed lines represent connection sites. Screening for Y in ionizable lipid compounds helps optimize the stability of the lipid compounds and their encapsulation or loading efficiency for nucleic acid molecules, thereby forming uniform and stable lipid nanoparticles. Furthermore, unsaturated bonds help increase the interaction between lipid compounds and the cell membrane, thereby improving endocytosis.

[0188] Example 11: Preparation and Physicochemical Characterization of Lipid Nanoparticles

[0189] 1. Preparation of lipid nanoparticles

[0190] Compounds 1-10 prepared in Examples 1-10 and a commercially available ionizable lipid compound (ALC-0315) were dissolved in 300 μL of ethanol with DSPC, cholesterol, and mPEG-DTDAM (ALC-0159) at a molar ratio of 46.3:9.4:42.7:1.6 to prepare ethanol lipid solutions. Separately, 200 μL of a 0.5 μg / μL solution of messenger RNA (Fluc mRNA) encoding firefly luciferase was dissolved in 700 μL of 20 mM citrate buffer at pH 4 to prepare the aqueous phase. The aqueous and organic phases were mixed using a microfluidic mixer to prepare lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating Fluc mRNA. The prepared lipid nanoparticles were rapidly added to an ultrafiltration tube containing 10 volumes of PBS (pH 7.4) standard solution and centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 30 min to remove ethanol and citrate buffer. The desired concentration of lipid nanoparticle solution was obtained using an Amicon Ultra centrifugal filter. The lipid nanoparticles prepared from compounds 1-10 and ALC-0135 were named LNP-1, LNP-2, LNP-3, LNP-4, LNP-5, LNP-6, LNP-7, LNP-8, LNP-9, LNP-10, and LNP-0315, respectively. The molecular structures of the lipid compounds are shown below. Figure 7 As shown.

[0191] 2. Determination of lipid nanoparticle size, polydispersity index and encapsulation efficiency

[0192] The particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) of the lipid nanoparticles LNP-1~LNP-10 and LNP-0315 obtained above were determined using a Malvern particle size analyzer (Malvern UK). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0193] The mRNA encapsulation efficiency (EE%) was detected using RiboGreen dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat No. 5, R11491). First, to determine the free mRNA in the lipid nanoparticles, 10 μL of each of the LNP-1~LNP-10 and LNP-0315 lipid nanoparticle solutions were placed in centrifuge tubes and diluted with 990 μL of 1:1 Tris-EDTA buffer (Nanjing Novizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). 100 μL of the diluted solution was then added to a 96-well plate. Next, 100 μL of RiboGreen dye was added to each well, and the plate was incubated for 5 min. The concentration of free mRNA was measured using a spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), with excitation at 485 nm and emission at 528 nm.

[0194] To determine the total mRNA content in lipid nanoparticles, 10 μL of each of the LNP-1~LNP-10 and LNP-0315 lipid nanoparticle solutions were placed in centrifuge tubes and diluted with 990 μL of 2% TE-Triton buffer (Nanjing Novizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). 100 μL of the diluted solution was then added to a 96-well plate. Next, 100 μL of RiboGreen dye was added to each well, and the plate was incubated for 5 min. The total mRNA concentration was measured using a spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and an emission wavelength of 528 nm. The formula for calculating EE (%) is as follows:

[0195] EE (%) = (Total mRNA concentration - Free mRNA concentration) / Total mRNA concentration × 100%.

[0196] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0197] Table 1 Physicochemical properties of LNP-1~LNP-10 and LNP-0315 lipid nanoparticles

[0198]

[0199] As shown in Table 1, the LNP-1 to LNP-10 lipid nanoparticles prepared in this invention and the LNP-0315 lipid nanoparticles prepared from commercially available ALC-0315 have particle sizes ranging from 100 to 130 nm, and their PDI values ​​are all less than 0.2. This indicates that all 11 types of lipid nanoparticles possess excellent physicochemical properties. Furthermore, the LNP-1 to LNP-10 lipid nanoparticles prepared in this invention and the LNP-0315 lipid nanoparticles prepared from commercially available ALC-0315 all exhibit high mRNA encapsulation efficiency.

[0200] Example 12: Cytotoxicity Experiment

[0201] HEK293 cells or DC2.4 cells were seeded in 96-well plates (2000 cells / well) and cultured for 12 h. After cell attachment, the prepared LNP-1~LNP-10 and LNP-0315 lipid nanoparticle solutions were added to the 96-well plates, and the mRNA concentration was controlled at 2 μg / ml. After 24 hours of incubation, cytotoxicity was assessed using a CCK-8 assay kit. The OD value at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader. Cell viability was calculated based on the OD values, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0203]

[0204] As shown in Table 2, the 11 lipid nanoparticles mentioned above all exhibit low cytotoxicity and have promising prospects for in vivo applications.

[0205] Example 13: Bioluminescence detection in vivo

[0206] To investigate the in vivo mRNA delivery of compounds 1-10 and commercially available ALC-0315, 33 female BALB / c mice weighing 16-18g were randomly divided into 11 groups of 3 mice each. Each group of mice was intramuscularly injected with 100μL of a solution containing LNP-1-LNP-10 and LNP-0315 lipid nanoparticles prepared in Example 11, along with 2μg of Fluc mRNA per mouse. Six hours after injection, 100μL of luciferase substrate (30mg / mL) was injected intraperitoneally, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 5 minutes. Bioluminescence signal images were obtained using a mouse imaging system (Perkin Elmer). For example, comparing LNP-6 and LNP-0315 prepared from commercially available ALC-0315, the major organs of the mice ( Figure 8 The organs in the image, from left to right, are heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney. The imaging results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the liver bioluminescence effect of LNP-6 is significantly higher than that of LNP-0315. Furthermore, the average bioluminescence intensity of LNP-1~LNP-10 and LNP-0315 in the liver is shown in Table 3.

[0208]

[0209] As shown in Table 3, the lipid nanoparticles LNP-1~LNP-10 and LNP-0315 can effectively deliver mRNA in vivo and complete expression. The lipid nanoparticles prepared by compounds 1 and 6~10 in the embodiments of the present invention have better in vivo delivery effects than the lipid nanoparticles prepared by the commercially available ALC-0315 control group. The nucleic acid delivery efficiency of the lipid compounds in Examples 6 and 10 in the liver is 2.2 times and 2.5 times higher than that of the commercially available ALC-0315 control group, respectively, showing good application prospects.
