[0001] The present application relates to artificially synthesized lipids that can enhance nucleic acid delivery, as well as specific combinations of the artificially synthesized lipids with nucleic acids that can enhance nucleic acid target cells and target organs. [Background technology]

[0002] Over the past few decades, the concept of using nucleic acid molecules, including RNA molecules, as therapeutic agents has moved from concept to clinical reality. Indeed, nucleic acid molecules possess many properties that make them useful as therapeutic agents. Nucleic acid molecules can fold into complex higher-order structures, which allow them to interact with proteins, small molecules, or other nucleic acids, and some can even form catalytic centers. People commonly refer to siRNA, miRNA, and other non-coding small RNAs interchangeably as small nucleic acids or small RNAs (sRNAs). However, nucleic acids are generally considered poor options for therapeutic agents due to their easy degradation and short in vivo half-life.

The mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature, stirred overnight, filtered, and the filter cake is dried to give a pale yellow solid (1.8 kg). The solid is dissolved in methanol (30 L) under reflux, cooled to room temperature, filtered, and dried to give a pale yellow solid (1.5 kg). The solid is dissolved in chloroform / methanol = 8 / 1 (100 L) and passed through a filter membrane to remove insoluble materials. The filtrate is then concentrated to give sphingosine (d22:0) (1.2 kg, 77% yield) as an off-white solid.

The cell density was 6 x 10 5 The cells are cultured in 1 mL medium / well until they reach the logarithmic growth phase, split into 12-well plates (1 mL medium / well), and incubated at 37° C. overnight (12 hours) before subsequent experiments.

[0187] 2.

[0189] 3. Detection of cellular uptake of nucleic acids delivered inside cells by lipids by flow cytometry (CFlow)

[0190] 1) Main experimental equipment and devices: 10 cm cell culture dish, 12-well cell culture plate, pipette, transfer tube, optical microscope, flow cytometer CytoFLEX instrument (purchased from Beckman, USA)

[0191] 2) Main experimental reagents: Model establishment and transfection: artificially synthesized lipid monomers and nucleic acids as shown in the table

[0192] 3) Human pancreatic acinar epithelial carcinoma cell line HPAC cells, human large cell lung carcinoma cell line H460 cells, and human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293T cells used in the experiment were cultured until the logarithmic growth phase, and then they were grown at a cell density of 6 × 10 5 1 mL culture medium / well into a 12-well plate, and the 12-well plate is incubated at 37° C. overnight (12 hours) before subsequent experiments.

[0193] 4) The experimental groups are as follows: a) Blank group: refers to untreated cells, this group serves as a blank control group. b) Free uptake group: 5 μL of a solution of fluorescently labeled nucleic acid (stock concentration 20 μM) was directly added to this group, which served as a negative control group. c) Lipid-nucleic acid mixture treatment group: The mixture of lipids and fluorescently labeled nucleic acids prepared in step 2 was added to the cells and mixed uniformly. The final concentration of nucleic acid was 100 nM.

[0194] 5) After 9 hours of incubation with the cells, wash the cells with PBS three times, resuspend the cells in PBS (self-prepared), and use a flow cytometer CytoFLEX instrument (purchased from Beckman, USA) to detect the fluorescence intensity of the cells in the sample wells.

[0195] The results of in vitro small molecule nucleic acid delivery in this example are shown in the following Tables 2 to 4 and Figures 1 to 3.

[0196] In Tables 2 to 4, the small nucleic acid used is PGY-ssRNA-26. [Table 2] TIFF2025529596000148.tif208165TIFF2025529596000149.tif155165 [Table 3] TIFF2025529596000151.tif226165TIFF2025529596000152.tif137165 [Table 4] TIFF2025529596000154.tif226165TIFF2025529596000155.tif137165

[0197] The results show that the fluorescence offset in the experimental group is increased compared to the negative control group, indicating that cells take up more fluorescently labeled RNA, i.e., that the amount of RNA delivered into cells by lipids is greater, reflecting higher delivery efficiency. From the results in Tables 2-4 above, it can be seen that after sphingosine lipids deliver 0.1 nmol of nucleic acid at a concentration of 1.25 μg / mL, the fluorescence value of the experimental group shifts significantly compared to the free uptake group. This indicates that various sphingosine monomers can all efficiently deliver sRNA into cells. Sphingosine lipid monomers, especially sphingosines of the present invention with a carbon chain length of more than 21, are effective for nucleic acid delivery.
