Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a nanoparticle composition for drug delivery, and more specifically, to a drug delivery composition that comprises an amphiphilic block copolymer and a lipid of a specific structure that can easily form a complex with an anionic drug, and that can easily form drug-containing nanoparticles and is useful for drug delivery, particularly for delivering drugs specifically to the lungs. [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 problems for commercialization due to risks such as non-specific immune responses and complex manufacturing processes. Therefore, recent research has been conducted toward improving these drawbacks by using non-viral delivery vehicles. 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, nucleic acid-cationic lipid complexes have low stability in the blood, making their in vivo use difficult. Furthermore, ionic liposomes containing cationic lipids, neutral lipids, and fusogenic lipids have drawbacks, such as the complex synthesis of the cationic lipids used, cytotoxicity, and low efficiency of intracellular nucleic acid delivery.
[0005] Meanwhile, in order to provide a mixed polymer nanoparticle composition that solubilizes a large amount of poorly soluble drugs and has good stability in an aqueous solution, Patent Document 1 discloses a mixed polymer nanoparticle composition that contains an amphiphilic block copolymer consisting of a hydrophilic block and a hydrophobic block and a polylactic acid derivative containing a carboxylic acid end group, and that can form polymer nanoparticles in body fluids or aqueous solutions, and a pharmaceutical composition in which a poorly soluble drug is contained in polymer nanoparticles made of the mixed polymer nanoparticle composition.

[0064] In one embodiment, the particle size of the nanoparticles is defined by the Z-average value and may be, for example, 800 nm or less, 600 nm or less, 500 nm or less, 400 nm or less, 300 nm or less, 200 nm or less, or 150 nm or less, or 10 nm or more, 50 nm or more, or 100 nm or more. In a specific embodiment, the particle size of the nanoparticles defined by the Z-average value may be, for example, 10 to 800 nm, 20 to 600 nm, 30 to 500 nm, 50 to 400 nm, or 80 to 300 nm.
[0065] The "Z-average" refers to the average hydrodynamic diameter of a particle distribution measured using dynamic light scattering (DSL). The nanoparticles have a monodisperse particle distribution, and the polydispersity index may be, for example, 0.01 to 0.50, 0.05 to 0.455, or 0.1 to 0.40.
[0066] In one embodiment, the surface charge of the nanoparticles may be, for example, 0 mV or more, 1 mV or more, 5 mV or more, or 10 mV or more, or 80 mV or less, 70 mV or less, or 60 mV or less. In a specific embodiment, the surface charge of the nanoparticles may be, for example, 0 to 80 mV, 1 to 70 mV, or 5 to 60 mV. The surface charge may be measured in an environment similar to a biological environment, for example, in 8 to 12 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.0 to 7.5).
[0067] Maintaining the particle size and surface charge of the nanoparticles at these levels is preferable in terms of the stability of the nanoparticle structure, the amount of ingredients, absorbability in the body, and ease of sterilization as a pharmaceutical composition. For example, when the active ingredient is a nucleic acid, one or more ends of the nucleic acid may be modified with one or more selected from the group consisting of cholesterol, tocopherol, and fatty acids having 10 to 24 carbon atoms. The cholesterol, tocopherol, and fatty acids having 10 to 24 carbon atoms include analogs, derivatives, and metabolites of cholesterol, tocopherol, and fatty acids, respectively.
[0068] In one embodiment, when the active ingredient is RNA, the amount of the active ingredient may be, for example, 0.05-30 wt %, 0.1-25 wt %, 0.25-20 wt %, 0.5-15 wt %, 1-10 wt %, or 1-5 wt % based on the total weight of the nanoparticles. If the content of the active ingredient is less than this range, the amount of delivery carrier is too high compared to the drug, which may result in side effects caused by the delivery carrier. If the amount of the nucleotide is more than this range, the size of the nanoparticles may become too large, reducing their stability and increasing the loss rate during filter sterilization.
[0069] In one embodiment, the amount of the lipid may be, for example, 500 parts by weight or less, 400 parts by weight or less, 300 parts by weight or less, 200 parts by weight or less, 100 parts by weight or less, 80 parts by weight or less, or 60 parts by weight or less, or 1 part by weight or more, 2 parts by weight or more, 23 parts by weight or more, 4 parts by weight or more, or 5 parts by weight or more, per part by weight of the active ingredient. In one embodiment, the amount of the lipid may be 1 to 500 parts by weight, 2 to 400 parts by weight, 3 to 300 parts by weight, 4 to 200 parts by weight, or 5 to 80 parts by weight per part by weight of the active ingredient. If the amount of the lipid is less than the above range, it may not be possible to form a stable complex with the active ingredient. If the amount of the lipid is greater than the above range, the size of the nanoparticles may become too large, reducing the stability of the nanoparticles and increasing the loss rate during filter sterilization.
[0070] When the active ingredient is a nucleic acid, the lipid and nucleic acid bind to each other through electrostatic interaction to form a complex. In one embodiment, the charge ratio between the nucleic acid (P) and the lipid (N) (N / P; the ratio of the positive charge of the lipid to the negative charge of the nucleic acid) may be 0.5 or more, 1 or more, 2 or more, or 5 or more, or 200 or less, 150 or less, 100 or less, or 60 or less, for example, 0.5 to 200, 1 to 150, 2 to 100, or 5 to 60. If the ratio (N / P) is below the above range, it may be difficult to form a complex containing a sufficient amount of nucleic acid. On the other hand, if the ratio (N / P) is above the above range, toxicity may be induced. Furthermore, the N / P ratio may play an important role in spleen-specific expression of the active ingredient.
[0071] In one embodiment, the lipids of the present invention are complexed with a drug, and the complex is encapsulated within the nanoparticle structure formed by the amphiphilic block copolymer. In one embodiment, the amphiphilic block copolymer may be an AB type block copolymer comprising a hydrophilic A block and a hydrophobic B block, which in an aqueous environment forms core-shell polymeric nanoparticles in which the hydrophobic B block forms the core (inner wall) and the hydrophilic A block forms the shell (outer wall).
[0072] In one embodiment, the hydrophilic A block may be one or more selected from the group consisting of polyalkylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylamide, and derivatives thereof. More specifically, the hydrophilic A block may be one or more selected from the group consisting of monomethoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG), monoacetoxypolyethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, a copolymer of polyethylene and propylene glycol, and polyvinylpyrrolidone.
[0073] In one embodiment, the number average molecular weight (g / mol) of the hydrophilic A block may be, but is not limited to, 200 or more, 500 or more, 1,000 or more, or 2,000 or more, and 50,000 or less, 20,000 or less, 10,000 or less, or 5,000 or less.
[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. More specifically, the functional group or ligand may be one or more selected from the group consisting of anisamide, vitamin B9 (folic acid), vitamin B12, vitamin A, galactose, lactose, mannose, hyaluronic acid, RGD peptide, NGR peptide, transferrin, antibodies against transferrin receptors, and the like.
[0075] The hydrophobic B block is a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer, which in one embodiment may be one or more selected from the group consisting of polyesters, polyanhydrides, polyamino acids, polyorthoesters, and polyphosphazines. 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.
[0076] In one embodiment, the number average molecular weight (g / mol) of the hydrophobic B block may be, but is not limited to, 200 or more, 500 or more, 1,000 or more, or 1,700 or more, and 50,000 or less, 20,000 or less, 10,000 or less, or 6,000 or less.
[0077] For example, the combination of the number average molecular weight of the hydrophilic A block and the hydrophobic B block may be, but is not limited to, 2,000 to 6,000, 2,000 to 4,000, 2,000 to 3,000, or 2,000 to 1,700.
[0078] 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.
[0079] In one embodiment, the polylactate is distributed in the core (inner wall) of the nanoparticle, strengthening the hydrophobicity of the core to stabilize the nanoparticle and effectively evading the reticuloendothelial system (RES) in the body. That is, the carboxylate anion of polylactate binds to cationic complexes more effectively than polylactic acid, lowering the surface potential of the polymeric nanoparticles. This reduces the positive charge on the surface compared to polymeric nanoparticles without polylactate, making them less likely to be captured by the reticuloendothelial system and more efficiently delivered to target sites (e.g., cancer cells, inflammatory cells, etc.).
[0080] In one embodiment, the number average molecular weight (g / mol) of the polylactate is 500 to 50,000, more specifically 1,000 to 10,000. If the number average molecular weight of the polylactate is less than 500, the hydrophobicity may be too low, and the core (inner wall) of the nanoparticles may not exist. If the number average molecular weight of the polylactate is more than 50,000, the size of the polymer nanoparticles may become too large.
[0081] In one embodiment, the end opposite to the end of the metal carboxylate (e.g., sodium carboxylate) of the polylactic acid salt (e.g., sodium salt of polylactic acid) may be substituted with one selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, acetoxy, benzoyloxy, decanoyloxy, palmitoyloxy, and alkoxy having 1 to 2 carbon atoms.

The mixture was purged with nitrogen (N) three times. The mixture was stirred at 25 °C for 16 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (200 mL) and extracted with 600 mL of methylene chloride (200 mL x 3). The methylene chloride layer was collected, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, petroleum ether (PE) / ethyl acetate (EtOAc) = 10 / 1 to 1 / 100). 1-Cyclopropylnonyl 6-(((benzoyloxy)carbonyl)amino)hexanoate (9.00 g, 20.9 mmol, 44.3% yield) was obtained as a colorless oil.

[0197] [Composition Preparation and Pulmonary Delivery Testing] Example 1: Preparation of a drug delivery composition using the lipid of Preparation Example 2 and drug delivery test (1) Preparation of solutions of each component The components shown in Table 1 below were dissolved in each dilution solvent to prepare the concentrations shown in Table 1 below. Dissolution was performed using an ultrasonic generator (bathsonicator) for approximately 5 to 10 minutes, and the absence of undissolved particles was confirmed visually before use. For dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) and cholesterol, the solutions were incubated in a 65°C oven for approximately 5 minutes, and the absence of precipitation was confirmed visually before use in the test.
[0198] [Table 3]
[0199] (2) Preparation of the composition The necessary amounts of components were mixed to achieve an N / P ratio (amine groups in lipid components / phosphate groups in mRNA) of 20, with the lipids of Preparation Example 2:mPEG-PLA (2K-4K):DOPE:cholesterol = 5:5:1:4. Ethanol was added to the ethanol layer to adjust the total molecular weight of all components to 6.25-12.5 mM, and the aqueous and ethanol phases were mixed at a 3:1 ratio. After mixing, the total volume was diluted 20-fold with 1X PBS to reduce the total ethanol content, and the mixture was concentrated using an Amicon-Ultra tube filter (Merck Millipore, UFC505096 or UFC805024, pore size: 50K or 100K, volume: 0.5 mL, 4 mL, or 15 mL). The buffer used for the aqueous phase was 20 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.6) (prepared by diluting 3 M sodium acetate buffer to 20 mM and titrating to pH 4.6 with 1 M HCl).
[0200] More specifically, the composition manufacturing process is as follows: 1) Two autoclaved tubes were prepared (tubes (A) and (B)). 2) The lipid of Production Example 2, DOPE, cholesterol, and mPEG-PLA (2K-4K) in molar amounts calculated according to the experimental conditions were added in that order to tube (A), and mixed by vortexing. 3) In the ethanol phase, ethanol was added as necessary so that the total molecular weight of all components was within the range of 6.25 to 12.5 mM. 4) In the case of mPEG-PLA, at least 3% water was required for complete dissolution, so water was added so that the total ethanol phase became 95% ethanol. 5) In tube (B), mRNA and 20 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.6) were mixed, with the aqueous phase being added in a volume three times the total volume of the ethanol phase. 6) The solution in tube (B) was transferred to tube (A) and mixed as shown in the figure below. At this time, mixing was carried out as quickly as possible to obtain a uniform formulation, and then vortexing was performed to mix (Figure 24). 7) The prepared formulation was diluted with PBS so that the ethanol content was 5% or less.
[0201] (3) Concentration and sterilization 1) The diluted formulation was centrifuged using an Amicon Ultra centrifugal filter and concentrated to a desired volume depending on the purpose. 2) The formulation was concentrated to the desired concentration and then sterilized using a filter with a pore size of 0.22 μm.
[0202] (4) Administration of the composition The formulation prepared according to the above method was adjusted to 10 μg / mL and administered intravenously to mice at 2 μg of mRNA per mouse. Four hours later, luciferin dissolved in sterile water was adjusted to 15 μg / μL and administered intraperitoneally to give 3 mg of luciferin per 20 g of mouse. Fifteen minutes after intraperitoneal administration of luciferin, protein expression in the whole body and in each organ was measured using a luminescence imaging system. The results are shown in Table 2 below and Figure 23.
[0203] As can be seen from FIG. 23, the drug delivery formulation according to the present invention had excellent pulmonary delivery efficiency when administered intravenously. On the other hand, as a comparative example, LNPs were prepared using SM102 (heptadecan-9-yl 8-((2-hydroxyethyl)(6-oxo-6-(undecyloxy)hexyl)amino)octanoate, purchased from SINOPEG) and D-Lin-MC3-DMA (dilinoleylmethyl-4-dimethylaminobutyric acid, purchased from MedChemExpress), and the same amount of mRNA (2 μg / 200 μL) as in the example was administered intravenously to mice. After 4 hours, imaging was performed using the same method as in the previous example, and the results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 23. As can be seen from Figure 23, the comparative formulation was delivered to the liver when administered intravenously.
[0204] Examples 2 to 12: Preparation of drug delivery compositions using the lipids of Preparation Examples 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, and pulmonary delivery tests Drug delivery compositions were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, using the lipids of Preparation Examples 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, respectively, instead of the lipid of Preparation Example 2, at the N / P ratios shown in Table 2 below. Drug delivery tests were performed using these compositions in the same manner as in Example 1, and the results are shown in Table 2 below and Figure 23. As can be seen from FIG. 23, the drug delivery formulations of Examples 2 to 12, when administered intravenously as in Example 1, had very high pulmonary delivery efficiency.
