Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a cationic lipid and a method for producing the same, and more specifically to a cationic lipid that easily forms a complex with an anionic drug and is useful for drug delivery, and a method for producing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Safe and efficient drug delivery technologies for treatment using anionic drugs, including nucleic acids, have long been studied, and various delivery vehicles and delivery technologies have been developed. Delivery vehicles are mainly divided into viral delivery vehicles using adenoviruses, retroviruses, etc., and non-viral delivery vehicles using cationic lipids, cationic polymers, etc. Viral delivery vehicles are known to pose many challenges to commercialization due to risks such as non-specific immune responses and complex manufacturing processes. Therefore, recent research has focused on the use of non-viral delivery vehicles, and research is being conducted toward improving these drawbacks. Non-viral delivery vehicles have the advantages of fewer side effects in terms of safety in the body and lower manufacturing costs compared to viral delivery vehicles.
[0003] Representative non-viral delivery vehicles for delivering nucleic acid substances include cationic lipid-nucleic acid complexes (lipoplexes) and polycationic polymer-nucleic acid complexes (polyplexes). Such cationic lipids and polycationic polymers form complexes with anionic drugs through electrostatic interactions, stabilizing the anionic drugs and increasing their intracellular delivery, and thus have been the subject of extensive research (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0004] However, polycationic polymers have cytotoxicity due to their multivalent cationic charge, making their practical application problematic. Furthermore, conventional cationic lipids used in ionic lipid nanoparticles, which consist of cationic lipids, neutral lipids, and fusogenic lipids, have drawbacks such as complex synthesis methods, cytotoxicity, and low intracellular nucleic acid delivery efficiency.

[0074] Furthermore, if necessary, functional groups, ligands, or functional groups capable of targeting specific tissues or cells, or functional groups capable of promoting intracellular delivery, can be chemically bonded to the ends of the hydrophilic A block to control the biodistribution of polymeric nanoparticle delivery vehicles formed from amphiphilic block copolymers and polylactic acid salts or to enhance the intracellular delivery efficiency of the nanoparticle delivery vehicles. In one embodiment, the functional group or ligand may be one or more selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, polysaccharides, vitamins, peptides, proteins, and antibodies against cell surface receptors.

[0076] More specifically, the hydrophobic B block may be one or more selected from the group consisting of polylactide (PLA), polyglycolide, polycaprolactone, polydioxane-2-one, a copolymer of polylactide and glycolide, a copolymer of polylactide and polydioxane-2-one, a copolymer of polylactide and polycaprolactone, and a copolymer of polyglycolide and polycaprolactone.
[0077] In one embodiment, in order to increase the hydrophobicity of the hydrophobic B block and thereby improve the stability of the nanoparticles, the hydrophobic B block may be modified by chemically bonding tocopherol, cholesterol, or a fatty acid having 10 to 24 carbon atoms to the hydroxy group at the end of the hydrophobic B block.

[0131] Preparation example of drug delivery composition: Preparation of formulations using compounds of formulae (A to G) 1. Preparation of Raw Materials The raw materials required for manufacturing the formulation were dissolved in each dilution solvent to prepare the required concentration according to Table 1. When dissolving, the raw materials were kept at room temperature and dissolved by adding the solvent.
[0132] [Table 1]
[0133] 2.Mixing of raw materials The raw materials were mixed in the required amounts so that the N / P ratio (amine groups of lipids:phosphate groups of mRNA) was 6, and the ratio of each compound of formulas (A-G): DOPE: cholesterol: DMG-PEG = 50:10:38.5:1.5. Ethanol was added to the ethanol layer so that the total molecular weight of all raw materials was within 12.5 mM, and the aqueous and ethanol phases were mixed while maintaining a volume ratio of 3:1. After mixing, buffer exchange was performed to reduce the total ethanol content as follows: the mixed solution was concentrated by centrifugation at 4,000 rpm using an Amicon-Ultra tube filter (Merck Millipore, UFC505096 or UFC805024, pore size: 50K, volume: 15 mL). This was then diluted with PBS, centrifuged, and concentrated. This process was repeated to perform buffer exchange.

The operating conditions of the microfluidics were FRR (flow ratio) C:R = 3:1 and TRR (total flow rate) 12 mL / min. 6) The mixture obtained in step 5) was centrifuged at 4,000 rpm using an Amicon-Ultra tube filter (50K), and the process of concentration and dilution was repeated to remove excess ethanol, and finally concentrated to x mg / mL (theoretical concentration).
