Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparation analysis, and relates to a pretreatment method for Oligo-LNP samples. BACKGROUND
[0002] Oligonucleotide drugs are a kind of drugs composed of 12-30 oligonucleotide single chains or double chains artificially synthesized. Oligonucleotide drugs are a new type of drugs after small molecule drugs and protein drugs, and are one of the hotspots in drug development in recent years. Oligonucleotides have low extracellular stability and are easily degraded by nucleases, and have the factors of large molecular weight, strong hydrophilicity and high negative charge, which show poor drugability, and the pharmacokinetic characteristics are poor, and it is not easy to penetrate the lipid bilayer and the blood-brain barrier, and usually needs to be improved by chemical modification or drug delivery system. The lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery system is one of the common oligonucleotide delivery systems in clinical use.
[0003] After the Oligo-LNP preparation product is prepared, the Oligo-LNP needs to be pretreated to release the Oligo from the LNP before analysis such as related substance examination and sequence identification analysis, that is, demulsification is needed. Usually, 0.1%-2% triton X-100 or other surfactants are selected as demulsifiers. When the surfactant is selected as the demulsifier for dilution, the surfactant is easy to foam and has a certain turbidity itself, and it is difficult to observe whether the LNP is completely dissolved with the naked eye; and the surfactant is also strongly retained in the chromatographic column during subsequent analysis such as related substance examination, which causes the pressure of the chromatographic column to rise and even causes the chromatographic column to be blocked. In addition, the concentration of the Oligo-LNP preparation product is generally not more than 5 mg / mL, and if a large dilution factor is needed, the sensitivity cannot meet the requirements. If an organic reagent such as methanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile or the like is directly used for dilution and demulsification, the Oligo will have a serious solvation effect and will not be retained by the chromatographic column, so that the related substance examination cannot be performed. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a pretreatment method for Oligo-LNP samples to solve at least one of the above technical problems.
[0005] According to one aspect of the present application, a pretreatment method for Oligo-LNP samples is provided, comprising the following steps: An extractant is added to the Oligo-LNP sample, and the mixture is left to stand or centrifuged, and the upper solution is taken, to obtain an Oligo solution; wherein the extractant is composed of a first organic reagent and a second organic reagent.
[0006] In some embodiments, the first organic reagent is selected from an alcohol organic solvent, and the second organic reagent is selected from a halogenated hydrocarbon organic solvent.
[0007] The Oligo-LNP sample contains a large amount of lipid components, and a single solvent cannot meet the dissolution requirements of the various lipid components in the Oligo-LNP. Through a large amount of research, it is found that the alcohol polar protic solvent, the medium aprotic solvent or the weak polar protic solvent, and the water, in a certain proportion, can be combined into a mixed reagent most suitable for the dissolution of the various lipid components in the Oligo-LNP; when the alcohol polar protic solvent, the medium aprotic solvent or the weak polar protic solvent, and the Oligo-LNP sample are mixed, the differences in solubility and density between the three will cause the solution to stratify. Among them, the lower layer mixed solution is mainly composed of the medium aprotic solvent or the weak polar protic solvent (such as chloroform, dichloromethane, etc.) with a higher density, and also dissolves the alcohol polar protic solvent (such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, etc.) and the water in the Oligo-LNP sample. By adjusting the volume ratio of the alcohol polar protic solvent, the medium aprotic solvent or the weak polar protic solvent, and the Oligo-LNP sample, a lower layer mixed solution very beneficial to the dissolution of the lipid components can be obtained, and the lipid components in the Oligo-LNP sample can be extracted into the lower layer solution. The upper layer solution is mainly composed of water, mixed with a small amount of alcohol polar protic solvent and medium aprotic solvent or weak polar protic solvent, and the water-soluble components in the Oligo-LNP are naturally extracted into the upper layer mixed solution. In addition to Oligo, the water-soluble components in the Oligo-LNP also include Tri, PBS buffer, sucrose, etc., which can maintain a good solution pH environment (7-8) in the upper layer and also provide a certain ionic strength. In this neutral to weakly alkaline solution environment with a certain ionic strength, the phosphate groups in Oligo are fully dissociated, the intermolecular electrostatic repulsion is strong, and the hydrogen bond interaction with water molecules is stable, which is conducive to the extraction of Oligo into the water layer. In addition, the PBS buffer is usually low in concentration, and sucrose is a neutral molecule, which usually has no effect on the extraction of Oligo.
[0008] The pretreatment method of the Oligo-LNP sample provided by the application can simply, quickly and efficiently release Oligo and its related impurities from the Oligo-LNP preparation. After mixing the Oligo-LNP sample and the extractant, the supernatant is removed by centrifugation to obtain an Oligo solution containing high concentrations of Oligo and its related impurities. The Oligo solution obtained by the pretreatment method provided by the application can be used for related substance inspection, impurity research and sequence identification analysis, etc. The pretreatment method provided by the application can well assist in the research of the prescription process of Oligo-LNP preparation and the quality research of Oligo-LNP preparation products.

[0019] In some embodiments, the centrifugal speed can be 12000 rpm, and the centrifugal time can be 2 min. In this way, not only time can be effectively saved, but also a higher Oligo extraction rate can be obtained.

[0026] The extraction system of the present application is used to extract Oligo from Oligo-LNP containing permanent cationic lipids. The effect is more significant when the LNP encounters a mixed solvent composed of an alcohol polar protic solvent, a medium polar aprotic solvent or a weak polar protic solvent and water in a certain proportion. The LNP lipid bilayer gradually dissolves, and the mixed solvent further enters the core site where the Oligo is combined with the cationic lipid. If the LNP contains a permanent cationic lipid, because of its hydrophilic group N + The O-H (dipole negative end) of the alcohol polar protic solvent (such as methanol) or the O-H (dipole negative end) of water in the mixed solvent can form a strong ion-dipole interaction with the permanent cationic lipid combined with the Oligo, which will quickly and competitively capture the permanent cationic lipid combined with the Oligo, not only promoting the dissolution of the permanent cationic lipid, but also promoting the release of the Oligo to the water phase, thereby effectively improving the extraction rate of the Oligo.
[0027] In some embodiments, the permanent cationic lipid can be selected from one or more of DOTMA (CAS: 104872-42-6), DDBA, DMRIE, DOTAP (CAS: 132172-61-3, (2,3-Dioleoyloxy-propyl)-trimethylammonium-chloride), DOTIM, SAINT, DC-Chol (DC Cholesterol, 3β-[N-(N',N'-dimethylaminoethane)-carbamoyl]cholesterol hydrochloride), BGTC, CTAP, DOSPA, DORIE, DODAB, DOIC, DMEPC, DOGS, DIMRI, DC-6-14, CLIP 1, DORIE, DOSPA, CLIP 6, and CLIP 9.
[0028] In some embodiments, the lipid component of the Oligo-LNP sample comprises or consists of an ionizable cationic lipid, a phosphate group-containing neutral lipid, a sterol lipid, and a polyethylene glycol-conjugated lipid. In terms of molar ratio (mol%) of total lipids, the ionizable cationic lipid: the phosphate group-containing neutral lipid: the sterol lipid: the polyethylene glycol-conjugated lipid is (30-70):(10-40):(20-50):(1-20).

In terms of molar ratio (mol%) of total lipids, the permanent cationic lipid: the ionizable cationic lipid: the phosphate group-containing neutral lipid: the sterol lipid: the polyethylene glycol-conjugated lipid is (1-20):(30-50):(10-40):(10-40):(1-20).
[0032] In some embodiments, the lipid component of the Oligo-LNP sample consists of DOTAP, SM-102, DSPC, cholesterol, DMG-PEG-2K in a molar ratio of 10:40:10:38:2.

If not otherwise specified, the raw materials and reagents used in the embodiments are conventional products that can be commercially available; the experimental methods not specified in the embodiments are usually carried out according to the conventional conditions in the art or according to the conditions recommended by the manufacturers.
[0042] In the embodiments of the application, the nucleotide sequence of the exemplary Oligo for experimental research, designated as ZJHC00A, is 5'-TCGAACGTTCGAACGTTCGAACGTAT-3'.
[0043] Embodiment 1 The preparation method of the Oligo-LNP sample includes the following steps: DODMA, DSPC, cholesterol, mPEG-DMG-2K, and DOTAP were weighed, dissolved in ethanol, and prepared into a total lipid solution with a total lipid concentration of 16 mg / mL as the ethanol phase; Oligo was dissolved in a sodium citrate buffer to prepare an Oligo sodium citrate solution (25 mol / L) with a concentration of 0.33 mg / mL as the water phase; the two phases were mixed by a liquid phase pump, and then ultrafiltrated by a tangential flow with a PBS-sucrose solution to obtain Oligo-LNP.

[0045] (2) Preparation of a lipid solution: DOTAP, DODMA, DSPC, cholesterol, and DMG-PEG-2K were weighed in a molar ratio of 15:25:20:38.5:1.5, dissolved in ethanol, and dissolved in water at 60°C until the lipids were completely dissolved to prepare a lipid solution with a total lipid concentration of 16 mg / mL.
[0046] (3) Preparation of a PBS-sucrose solution: potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, and sucrose were weighed, dissolved in water, and prepared into a 10 mmol / L PBS-150 mmol / L sucrose solution (pH 7.5).

[0048] (5) Ultrafiltration: use a hollow fiber column for tangential flow ultrafiltration 5 times with PBS-sucrose solution as the displacement solution to obtain Oligo-LNP.
[0049] Among the obtained Oligo-LNP, the total lipid concentration is about 16 mg / mL, the Oligo concentration is about 1.6 mg / mL, and the drug-lipid ratio is 1:10.
[0050] Example 2 (1) Investigation of the extraction effect of extractants composed of 100 μL dichloromethane and different amounts of methanol Take 100 μL of the Oligo-LNP sample prepared in Example 1, a total of 12 portions, add 100 μL of dichloromethane, and then add different amounts of methanol (50 μL, 100 μL, 150 μL, 200 μL), each methanol amount is prepared in triplicate, mix well, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, take the supernatant, measure its volume, and use a micro UV spectrophotometer (ThermoFisher, NANODROP ONE) to measure the Oligo concentration, investigate the extraction effect of extractants composed of different amounts of methanol and 100 μL dichloromethane on Oligo, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0051] Table 1 Extraction effect of extractants composed of 100 μL dichloromethane and different amounts of methanol on Oligo
[0052] As shown in Table 1, when the sample is 100 μL, the dichloromethane amount is 100 μL, and the sample-methanol-dichloromethane volume ratio is 1:1:1, the Oligo can obtain good extraction effect.
[0053] (2) Investigation of the extraction effect of extractants composed of 200 μL dichloromethane and different amounts of methanol Take 100 μL of the Oligo-LNP sample prepared in Example 1, a total of 18 portions, add dichloromethane 200 μL respectively, and then add different amounts of methanol (100 μL, 150 μL, 200 μL, 250 μL, 300 μL and 400 μL) respectively. Each amount of methanol is prepared in triplicate. Mix well, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, take the supernatant, measure its volume, and use a micro UV spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher, NANODROP ONE) to measure the Oligo concentration. The effect of different amounts of methanol and 200 μL of dichloromethane on the extraction of Oligo is investigated, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0054] Table 2 Extraction effect of Oligo by different amounts of methanol and 200 μL of dichloromethane
[0055] As shown in Table 2, when the sample is 100 μL and the amount of dichloromethane is 200 μL, the amount of methanol used is in the range of 100 μL to 150 μL, i.e. the volume ratio of sample-methanol-dichloromethane is 1:1:2 to 1:1.5:2, and Oligo can obtain good extraction effect.
[0056] (3) Investigation of the extraction effect of 300 μL of dichloromethane and different amounts of methanol Take 100 μL of the Oligo-LNP sample prepared in Example 1, a total of 18 portions, add dichloromethane 300 μL respectively, and then add different amounts of methanol (50 μL, 100 μL, 150 μL, 200 μL, 250 μL and 300 μL) respectively. Each amount of methanol is prepared in triplicate. Mix well, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, take the supernatant, measure its volume, and use a micro UV spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher, NANODROP ONE) to measure the Oligo concentration. The effect of different amounts of methanol and 300 μL of dichloromethane on the extraction of Oligo is investigated, and the results are shown in Table 3.
[0057] Table 3 Extraction effect of Oligo by different amounts of methanol and 300 μL of dichloromethane

[0059] In summary, when using methanol-dichloromethane extractant, methanol is not easily dissolved in dichloromethane due to the large difference in polarity between methanol and dichloromethane, and can be more miscible with water in the sample, thereby obtaining a larger volume of supernatant. When the sample-methanol-dichloromethane ratio is in the range of 1:1.5:1 and 1:2:2~1:2.5:3, the concentration determination value of the supernatant obtained fluctuates greatly, and the supernatant will appear turbid after standing in the fume hood for 30 min.

[0064] Table 5 Effect of different amounts of ethanol and 200 μL of dichloromethane on the extraction of Oligo
[0065] As shown in Table 5, when the sample is 100 μL and the amount of dichloromethane is 200 μL, the amount of ethanol used is in the range of 50 μL to 200 μL, that is, the sample-ethanol-dichloromethane volume ratio is 1:0.5:2 to 1:2:2, and Oligo can obtain good extraction effect.

[0068] As shown in Table 6, when the sample is 100 μL and the amount of dichloromethane is 300 μL, the amount of ethanol used is in the range of 50 μL to 250 μL, that is, the sample-ethanol-dichloromethane volume ratio is 1:0.5:3 to 1:2.5:3, and Oligo can obtain good extraction effect.
[0069] In summary, the extraction results using ethanol and dichloromethane as the extractant show that the supernatant volume obtained by the ethanol-dichloromethane combination is smaller than that obtained by the methanol-dichloromethane combination, mainly because the polarity difference between ethanol and dichloromethane is smaller than that between methanol and dichloromethane, and ethanol can be more dissolved in dichloromethane. However, the ethanol-dichloromethane combination can obtain supernatant with higher Oligo concentration and smaller proportion of organic solvent.

Each isopropyl alcohol amount is prepared in triplicate. Mix well, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, take the supernatant, measure its volume, and use a micro UV spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher, NANODROP ONE) to measure the Oligo concentration. The effect of different amounts of isopropyl alcohol and 200 μL of dichloromethane on the extraction of Oligo is investigated, and the results are shown in Table 8.

[0075] As shown in Table 8, when the sample is 100 μL and the amount of dichloromethane is 200 μL, the amount of isopropyl alcohol used is in the range of 50 μL to 200 μL, i.e. the sample-isopropyl alcohol-dichloromethane volume ratio is 1:0.5:2 to 1:2:2, and Oligo can obtain good extraction effect.

Each isopropyl alcohol amount is prepared in triplicate. Mix well, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, take the supernatant, measure its volume, and use a micro UV spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher, NANODROP ONE) to measure the Oligo concentration. The effect of different amounts of isopropyl alcohol and 300 μL of dichloromethane on the extraction of Oligo is investigated, and the results are shown in Table 9.

[0081] As shown in Table 10, the centrifugation time and centrifugation speed have no effect on the extraction of Oligo.
