Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the pharmaceutical field, specifically to a lipid compound, its preparation method and application, and pharmaceutical compositions. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, advancements in molecular biology techniques have significantly propelled the innovative development of mRNA drugs, demonstrating revolutionary potential, particularly in the fields of vaccines and protein replacement therapies. The core advantage of mRNA drugs lies in their ability to rapidly encode specific functional proteins, drastically shortening drug development cycles and providing a platform for personalized treatment. Compared to traditional drugs, mRNA drugs do not require the direct introduction of antigens or drug molecules; instead, they guide the body to synthesize target proteins by delivering genetic instructions, thus offering unique advantages in addressing emerging infectious diseases, cancer, and genetic disorders. However, the clinical application of mRNA molecules faces the dual challenges of delivery efficiency and stability. mRNA is easily degraded by nucleases in vivo and struggles to autonomously penetrate cell membrane barriers; therefore, its efficacy is highly dependent on the design of the delivery system.
[0003] Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), as a cutting-edge nucleic acid delivery technology, offer a possibility for achieving this goal. A typical LNP consists of four core components: ionizable lipids, accessory lipids, structural lipids, and polyethylene glycol-modified (PEG) lipids. Among these, the molecular structure of the ionizable lipids is crucial in determining the biological fate of the LNP. It is not only responsible for protonation in acidic endosomes to achieve intracellular drug release, but more importantly, it profoundly influences the tissue distribution of the LNP in vivo.
[0004] The structural characteristics of lipids, such as their head groups, linkages, length, saturation, and branching, collectively determine the particle size, surface charge, flexibility, and affinity for plasma proteins like ApoE. Subtle differences in these properties can lead to vastly different targeting capabilities and delivery efficiency of LNPs in vivo. Summary of the Invention

Example 8 Firefly luciferase (Flu, purchased from Jiangsu Genscript Biotech Co., Ltd.) was selected as the reporter gene marker mRNA, namely Flu mRNA. LNPs / mFluc (LNPs loaded with Flu mRNA) were prepared, and their formulation properties such as particle size, potential, and encapsulation efficiency were investigated to evaluate their formulation properties.
[0060] The preparation method of LNPs / mFluc is as follows: (1) Solution preparation: 300 µg of the prepared ionizable lipids (I-1~I-10) were dissolved together with DSPC, cholesterol and PEGylated lipids (DMG-PEG2000) in 0.5 mL of anhydrous ethanol to form a homogeneous lipid ethanol solution, which served as the ethanol phase. At the same time, 20 µg of Fluc mRNA was dissolved in 1.5 mL of 50 mM (pH=4) citrate buffer solution, which served as the aqueous phase. The mass ratio of ionizable lipids to mRNA was 50:1, and the mass ratio of each component in the formulation was: ionizable lipids:DSPC:cholesterol:DMG-PEG2000 = 50:38.5:10:1.5.
[0061] (2) LNP preparation: The ethanol phase and aqueous phase obtained in step (1) were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:3 to obtain the initial LNPs / mFluc formulation. The flow rate of the ethanol phase was 3 mL / min and the flow rate of the aqueous phase was 9 mL / min.
[0062] (3) Ultrafiltration: The initial LNPs / mFluc formulation obtained in step (2) was placed in a dialysis bag and dialyzed in PBS buffer solution (prepared with RNase-free water) at pH 7.4 for 8 hours to collect the ethanol-free LNPs / mFluc formulation. The dialyzed formulation was concentrated by ultrafiltration through an ultrafiltration tube to obtain the LNPs / mFluc formulation (denoted as LNP-1~LNP-11; taking LNP-1 as an example, LNP-1 refers to the lipid nanoparticles prepared by I-1).
[0063] LNPs / mFluc formulation property study: Particle size, potential, and PDI determination: The particle size and potential of LNPs / mFluc were determined using a Malvern laser particle size analyzer. A certain volume of freshly prepared LNPs / mFluc formulation was diluted 10-fold with PBS buffer at pH 7.4, and its particle size, potential, and PDI were determined using a Malvern laser particle size analyzer. Each sample was measured in triplicate at a temperature of 25℃. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0064] Encapsulation efficiency testing: using Quant iT TM RiboGreen TM The kit was used to test the encapsulation efficiency of each LNPs / mFluc formulation. The results of representative LNP detection are shown in Table 1.
[0065] Table 1. Parameters of nanoparticles formed by encapsulating Fluc mRNA with lipid nanoparticles
[0066] As shown in Table 1, the average particle size of lipid nanoparticles LNP-2, LNP-5, LNP-7, LNP-9, and LNP-10 is in the range of 80–120 nm, with a PDI of around 0.1. They exhibit uniform particle size distribution and all have a negative charge potential. The encapsulation efficiency of the lipid nanoparticles is above 80%. These five LNPs will be selected for in vivo validation via mfluc delivery.
[0067] The ability of LNPs / mFluc formulations (LNP-2, LNP-5, LNP-7, LNP-9, LNP-10) prepared by the compounds of this invention to express mRNA in vivo was investigated by tail vein administration.
[0068] Two mL of LNP formulation containing 10 μg Fluc-mRNA was injected via the tail vein into four 6-8 week old female C57 mice weighing 18-20 g. Six hours after administration, 100 μL of substrate solution (30 mg / mL, fluorescein potassium salt) was injected intraperitoneally. The mean radiation intensity (corresponding to fluorescence expression intensity) of the protein expressed by the LNP-carried mRNA in mice was then detected using an IVIS small animal in vivo imaging system. The results of the mouse in vivo imaging are shown in the figure below. Figure 1 Mice were euthanized, and their organs—heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney—were precisely isolated. The bioluminescence intensity of each isolated organ was measured using an IVIS instrument with an exposure time of 10 s. The results are shown below. Figure 1 .
[0069] Figure 1 Bioluminescence results of mouse in vivo and in vitro organs for LNP-2 / Fluc-mRNA, LNP-5 / Fluc-mRNA, LNP-7 / Fluc-mRNA, LNP-9 / Fluc-mRNA, and LNP-10 / Fluc-mRNA formulations.
[0070] In vivo expression studies via tail vein injection showed that, based on the total bioluminescence amount in the tail vein, the ionizable lipids of this invention can promote higher mRNA expression in mice. Furthermore, LNP-2 / mFluc, LNP-5 / mFluc, LNP-7 / mFluc, LNP-9 / mFluc, and LNP-10 / mFluc, after tail vein injection, can deliver mRNA to the liver, resulting in weak or almost no expression in other organs, achieving liver-specific targeting. LNP-7 showed the best liver-targeting effect.
[0071] Example 9 The only difference from Example 8 is that the firefly luciferase-labeled mRNA was replaced with mRNA encoding Cre recombinase (purchased from Jiangsu Genscript Biotech Co., Ltd.).
[0072] Following the method in Example 8, the mRNA encoding Cre recombinase (mCre) was encapsulated in LNP-7 to form the LNP-7 / mCre complex.
[0073] Ai9 reporter mice (which express tdTomato red fluorescent protein only in the presence of Cre recombinase) were administered 2 mL of LNP-7 / mCre complex formulation containing 20 µg Cre mRNA or PBS solution via tail vein injection. Forty-eight hours after administration, frozen sections of mouse liver tissue were prepared and immunofluorescence stained with the nuclear dye Hoechst 33342.
[0074] Figure 2 Bioluminescence results of in vivo and in vitro organs of ai9 mice injected with LNP-7 / Cre-mRNA formulation; Figure 3 Immunofluorescence results of frozen sections of liver tissue from ai9 mice injected with LNP-7 / Cre-mRNA and PBS.
[0075] Depend on Figures 2-3 It was observed that in the PBS control group, only blue cell nuclei were visible in liver sections stained with Hoechst 33342, with no obvious tdTomato red fluorescence signal, indicating no background expression. In the LNP-7 / mCre experimental group, extensive and strong spontaneous tdTomato red fluorescence signal was observed around the Hoechst 33342-stained cell nuclei, which was highly co-localized with the liver parenchyma. These results clearly demonstrate that the nanoparticles prepared from the ionizable lipid LNP-7 of this invention can efficiently and specifically deliver functional mCre to the mouse liver and successfully translate into bioactive Cre recombinase within hepatocytes, thereby activating reporter gene expression. This fully confirms the application potential of the LNP system in liver-targeted mRNA therapy.
[0076] Example 10 To highlight the superiority of LNP-7 of the present invention over commonly used lipids in the prior art (such as SM-102), this embodiment presents a systematic in vivo bioluminescence imaging comparison.
[0077] The control group differed from Example 8 only in that the lipids were replaced with the SM-102 / mFluc formulation (the preparation method of the SM-102 / mFluc formulation is the same as that of the LNPs / mFluc formulation); and LNP-7 / mFluc, which encapsulates firefly luciferase mRNA (mFluc), was used as the experimental group.
[0078] Healthy mice were given the same doses of the control and experimental formulations via tail vein injection.
[0079] Figure 4 The results of in vivo bioluminescence at 6h, 12h, and 24h in mice injected with LNP-7 / Fluc-mRNA and SM-102 / Fluc-mRNA were presented.

[0081] Figure 6The in vitro bioluminescence results of various organs in mice injected with LNP-7 / Fluc-mRNA and SM-102 / Fluc-mRNA at 6h, 12h, and 24h were compared.
[0082] Figure 7 In vitro bioluminescence quantification of organs in mice injected with LNP-7 / Fluc-mRNA and SM-102 / Fluc-mRNA at 6h, 12h, and 24h.
[0083] In vivo imaging kinetics: In vivo imaging was performed at 6, 12, and 24 hours post-drug administration. At all time points, the overall bioluminescent signal intensity in the LNP-7 / mFluc group was higher than that in the SM-102 / mFluc group. The signal of LNP-7 / mFluc peaked at 12 hours and remained at a high level at 24 hours, indicating that its mediated protein expression was more potent and longer-lasting.
[0084] Ex vivo tissue distribution: Major organs were harvested 24 hours later for ex vivo imaging. For example... Figure 6 As shown, LNP-7 / fluc still exhibited high protein expression levels 24 hours after transfection, and its mRNA delivery efficiency was significantly better than that of the control lipid SM-102. Furthermore, the signal from the LNP-7 / mFluc group was highly specifically enriched in the liver (>90%), while the signal from other organs was weak (see [link to data]). Figure 7 This comparative experiment demonstrates that the LNP-7 of this invention is superior to the existing lipid SM-102 in terms of mRNA delivery efficiency, expression persistence, and liver targeting specificity.
[0085] Example 11 The delivery system constructed using LNP-7 of this invention can not only efficiently target the liver, but also deliver secretory antibody fragment mRNA, which can express and secrete therapeutic proteins in the liver into the systemic circulation, thereby achieving effective treatment for diseases of distant organs (such as pulmonary fibrosis).
[0086] A pulmonary fibrosis model was established using C57BL / 6 mice via intratracheal infusion of bleomycin. The model mice were randomly divided into three groups: Healthy control group (G1): healthy mice were injected with PBS via the tail vein; Model control group (G2: PBS): mice with an established pulmonary fibrosis model were injected with PBS via the tail vein. Treatment group (G3: LNP-7 / mAnti-IL-11-scfv): Mice with established models were injected via tail vein injection of an LNP-7 formulation (LNP-7 / mAnti IL-11-scfv vaccine) encapsulated with mRNA encoding an anti-IL-11 single-chain antibody (scFv). The plasmid DNA template for the mRNA was designed using SnapGene software and synthesized by GeneScript. The plasmid-encoded fusion protein (Anti IL-11-scfv) construct also included a T7 promoter, a 5′ untranslated region (UTR), a 3′ UTR, and a poly-A tail. The mRNA was co-transcribed with 4 mM CAP GAG (CAP3111, SYNTHGENE) and chemically modified by replacing uracil with N1-Me-pUTP (NMPUTP001, SYNTHGENE). The mRNA was purified by lithium chloride precipitation and cleaned using the Monarch® RNA Cleanup Kit (T2050S, NEB). The mRNA was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis. To ensure the integrity of the sample, it was stored at -80°C.
[0087] Intravenous administration was initiated at a designated time point after model establishment, twice weekly for a total of 3 weeks. After treatment, lung tissue was harvested for H&E, Masson's trichrome, and Picosirius Red staining to assess the degree of fibrosis.

[0090] Figure 10 A quantitative graph showing the hydroxyproline content in the lungs of a mouse model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis treated with LNP-7 / Anti-IL-11-scfv mRNA.
[0091] In the G2 (PBS) group, mice exhibited extensive inflammatory cell infiltration, severe alveolar structural damage, and widespread blue (Masson's red) or red (Sirius red) collagen fiber deposition in their lung tissue, displaying typical fibrotic pathological features. In the G3 (LNP-7 / mAnti-IL-11-scfv) treatment group, the pathological changes in lung tissue were significantly reduced, alveolar structure remained relatively intact, inflammatory infiltration decreased, and both the area and density of collagen fiber deposition were significantly reduced. Figure 8 This indicates that the anti-IL-11 scFv expression mediated by the delivery system of this invention can effectively inhibit the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. The extent and intensity of α-SMA positive signals in the lung tissue of the G3 treatment group were significantly reduced. Figure 9 This indicates that anti-IL-11 scFv treatment effectively inhibits the activation and proliferation of myofibroblasts. The total collagen content in lung tissue was quantitatively analyzed using a hydroxyproline content assay. The hydroxyproline content in the lung tissue of mice in the G3 (LNP-7 / mAnti-IL-11-scfv) treatment group was statistically significantly lower than that in the G2 (PBS) control group. Figure 10 The quantitative data are consistent with the tissue staining results, directly confirming at the biochemical level that the treatment strategy of this invention can effectively reduce excessive collagen deposition in the pulmonary fibrosis model.
[0092] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
