Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of nucleic acid delivery, and more specifically to nucleic acid conjugates, methods for producing the same, and applications. [Background technology]
[0002] siRNA is a negatively charged polymer consisting of two oligonucleotide chains. On its own, it cannot effectively target target tissues in the body, nor can it autonomously enter cells. For siRNA to exert its therapeutic effect, it needs to be delivered via a special delivery carrier to accumulate in the target organ and enter the cell.
[0003] Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can effectively encapsulate siRNA and achieve targeted delivery to the liver, and the drug Onpattro, which utilizes LNP technology, is already commercially available. However, many drawbacks remain in the clinical application of LNP technology. For example, LNP formulations have a short shelf life, and they often trigger immune responses during application, requiring the concomitant use of immunosuppressants such as dexamethasone, which complicates the clinical application of LNPs.
[0004] Targeted delivery of drugs into cells via endocytosis mediated by cell surface receptors is an effective strategy. The asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is a receptor highly specifically expressed on the surface of hepatocytes, possessing characteristics such as high abundance and high receptor recycling efficiency. By covalently binding monosaccharide and polysaccharide molecules such as galactose, galactosamine, and N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), which can specifically recognize ASGPR, to siRNA, siRNA can be targeted and delivered into hepatocytes, allowing siRNA to exert a gene silencing effect on target genes. Therefore, research and development of target ligands suitable for siRNA delivery is of significant importance for the clinical application of siRNA.
[0005] Currently, some progress is being made worldwide in research on the effective targeted delivery of siRNA to the liver by targeting ASGPR. A representative delivery molecule is Alnylam Pharmaceuticals' L96 (its structural formula is shown below), which is already used in four commercially available siRNA drugs and has shown good delivery activity and selectivity in in vitro and in vivo experiments. However, there is still room to further improve the biological activity and efficacy of siRNA in the body, and problems remain such as the complexity and high manufacturing costs of the CMC (chemical manufacturing and control) processes and technologies for delivery molecules.
[0006] [ka] [Overview of the project]
[0007] The delivery compounds and corresponding nucleic acid conjugates of this disclosure utilize natural amino acids such as serine and threonine as core linkage skeletons to obtain a completely novel group of GalNAc conjugates with unique chemical structures. Compared to existing delivery technologies, these have advantages such as simpler molecular structures, inexpensive and readily available raw materials, and easier development of CMC processes, while also exhibiting good oligonucleotide synthesis efficiency and in vivo biological activity.

[0108] In the context of this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, “conjugate” refers to a compound formed by the covalent bonding of two or more chemical parts, each having a specific function, and therefore, a “conjugate” refers to a compound formed by the covalent bonding of these individual chemical parts. Furthermore, “nucleic acid conjugate” refers to a compound formed by the covalent bonding of one or more chemical parts having a specific function to an oligonucleotide.

[0113] Those skilled in the art know that siRNA comprises a nucleotide group as a basic structural unit, and that the nucleotide group comprises a phosphate group, a ribose group, and a base. Typically, active, i.e., functional siRNA is about 12 to 40 nucleotides long, and in some embodiments, about 15 to 30 nucleotides long, and each nucleotide in the siRNA can be independently modified or unmodified, and to increase stability, at least one nucleotide in the siRNA is modified.
[0114] The inventors of this disclosure have found that the siRNAs described in the following embodiments have higher activity and / or stability and therefore may be the object of the invention of siRNA in this disclosure.
[0115] In some embodiments, each nucleotide in the siRNA in the siRNA conjugate of the Disclosure (hereinafter also referred to as the siRNA of the Disclosure) is independently a modified or unmodified nucleotide, the siRNA comprises a sense strand and an antisense strand, wherein the sense strand comprises nucleotide sequence 1 and the antisense strand comprises nucleotide sequence 2, the lengths of nucleotide sequence 1 and nucleotide sequence 2 are both 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 nucleotides, and are at least partially inversely complementary to form a complementary double-stranded region, at least a portion of nucleotide sequence 2 is complementary to a first nucleotide sequence, the first nucleotide sequence is a portion of the nucleotide sequence in a target mRNA.
[0116] In some embodiments, nucleotide sequence 1 is equal in length to the first nucleotide sequence and has a difference of 3 nucleotides or less; nucleotide sequence 2 is equal in length to nucleotide sequence B and has a difference of 3 nucleotides or less; and nucleotide sequence B is a nucleotide sequence that is completely inversely complementary to the first nucleotide sequence. While we do not wish to be limited, these specific nucleotide differences do not significantly reduce the target gene repression ability of the siRNA conjugate, and siRNA conjugates containing these specific nucleotide differences are also protected within the scope of this disclosure.
[0117] In some embodiments, nucleotide sequence 1 and nucleotide sequence 2 are substantially inversely complementary, substantially completely inversely complementary, or completely inversely complementary.
[0118] In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence 1 and the first nucleotide sequence have a difference of one nucleotide or less, and / or the nucleotide sequence 2 and the nucleotide sequence B have a difference of one nucleotide or less. In some embodiments, the nucleotide difference between the nucleotide sequence 2 and the nucleotide sequence B includes a difference in the position of the first nucleotide Z' on the nucleotide sequence 2 in the direction from the 5' end to the 3' end. In some embodiments, the last nucleotide Z on the nucleotide sequence 1 in the direction from the 5' end to the 3' end is a nucleotide complementary to Z'.
[0119] In some embodiments, the sense strand further comprises nucleotide sequence 3, and the antisense strand further comprises nucleotide sequence 4, wherein nucleotide sequence 3 and nucleotide sequence 4 are of equal length and both consist of 1 to 4 nucleotides, nucleotide sequence 3 is bound to the 5' end of nucleotide sequence 1, and nucleotide sequence 4 is bound to the 3' end of nucleotide sequence 2, and nucleotide sequence 4 is complementary to a second nucleotide sequence, which is present in the target mRNA. This refers to a nucleotide sequence adjacent to the first nucleotide sequence and having the same length as nucleotide sequence 4. In some embodiments, nucleotide sequence 3 and nucleotide sequence 4 are substantially completely inversely complementary or completely inversely complementary. Therefore, the lengths of the sense and antisense strands can be 19 to 23 nucleotides.
[0120] In some embodiments, the siRNA of the Disclosure further comprises a nucleotide sequence 5, the length of which is 1 to 3 nucleotides, and is bonded to the 3' end of the antisense strand to constitute the 3' overhang of the antisense strand; in some embodiments, the length of the nucleotide sequence 5 is 1 or 2 nucleotides. Thus, in some embodiments, the ratio of sense strand to antisense strand lengths of the siRNA of the Disclosure may be 19 / 20, 19 / 21, 20 / 21, 20 / 22, 21 / 22, 21 / 23, 22 / 23, 22 / 24, 23 / 24, or 23 / 25.
[0121] In one embodiment, the length of nucleotide sequence 5 is 2 nucleotides, and in the direction from the 5' end to the 3' end, nucleotide sequence 5 is complementary to two consecutive deoxythymidine nucleotides, two consecutive uracil nucleotides, or a third nucleotide sequence, wherein the third sequence refers to a nucleotide sequence in the target mRNA that is adjacent to the first nucleotide sequence or adjacent to the second nucleotide sequence and has a length equal to that of nucleotide sequence 5. In one embodiment, the sense strand-to-antisense strand length ratio of the siRNA of the Disclosure is 19 / 21 or 21 / 23, in which case the siRNA of the Disclosure has better hepatocyte mRNA silencing activity.
[0122] In some embodiments, the nucleotides in the siRNA of the Disclosure are independently modified or unmodified nucleotides. In some embodiments, the siRNA of the Disclosure does not contain modified nucleotide groups; in some embodiments, the siRNA of the Disclosure contains modified nucleotide groups.
[0123] Currently, there are various methods available in the field for modifying siRNA, including skeletal modifications (also known as internucleotide bond modifications, such as phosphate group modifications), ribose group modifications, and base modifications (see, for example, Watts, JK, GFDeleavey and MJDamha, Chemically modified siRNA: tools and applications. Drug Discov Today, 2008. 13(19-20): pp.842-55, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference).
[0124] In the context of this disclosure, the term "modified nucleotide" as used refers to a nucleotide in which the ribose group of the nucleotide has been modified, for example, a nucleotide or nucleotide analog formed by the substitution of the hydroxyl group at the 2' position with another group, or a nucleotide in which the base on the nucleotide has been modified.
[0125] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, at least one nucleotide in the sense strand or the antisense strand is a modified nucleotide and / or at least one phosphate group is a phosphate group having a modifying group, in other words, at least a portion of the phosphate groups and / or ribose groups in the phosphate-sugar backbone of at least one of the single strands of the sense strand and the antisense strand are phosphate groups having a modifying group and / or ribose groups having a modifying group (or modified phosphate groups and / or modified ribose groups).

[0127] Non-fluorinated modified nucleotides refer to nucleotides or nucleotide analogs formed by substituting a non-fluorinated group for the hydroxyl group at the 2' position of the ribose group of a nucleotide. In some embodiments, each non-fluorinated modified nucleotide is independently selected from nucleotides or nucleotide analogs formed by substituting a non-fluorinated group for the hydroxyl group at the 2' position of the ribose group of a nucleotide.

[0132] BNA nucleotides refer to nucleotides that are constrained or inaccessible. BNAs may contain a cross-linking structure with a "fixed" C3'-endosugar packer of a 5-membered, 6-membered, or 7-membered ring. Typically, this cross-linking is incorporated at the 2'-,4'-position of the ribose ring, providing 2',4'-BNA nucleotides such as LNA, ENA, and cET BNA, where LNA is represented by formula (22), ENA by formula (23), and cET BNA by formula (24).

[0245] Using the solid-phase phosphoramidite method, the specially modified compounds produced in the above process and commercially purchased conventionally modified monomers (phosphoamidite monomers for synthetically modified nucleosides dT, Am, Cm, Gm, Um, Af, Cf, Gf, and Uf were all purchased from Shanghai Zhaowei Technology Development Co., Ltd.) were used to sequentially bond the nucleoside monomers in the 3'→5' direction according to the nucleotide sequence order. Here, the specially modified off-target prevention compound was placed in the seed region of the antisense chain (any position between 4 and 8 from the 5' end), and the delivery monomer compound was freely positioned at the 3' or 5' end as a conventional monomer. The bonding of each nucleoside monomer involved four reaction steps: deprotection, coupling, capping, and oxidation or sulfidation. Synthetic conditions for both the sense and antisense chains were employed. Instrument model: MerMade 12 Oligonucleotide synthesizer solid-phase synthesis system, Beijing Haijing 6 mL synthesis column, Cytiva Source™ 15Q 4.6 / 100PE purification column. The reagents used for synthesizing the siRNA conjugates were purchased from Suzhou Kerema Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
[0246] The synthesis outline is as follows: The single-chain synthesis reaction process extends in the 3'→5' direction and is completed in a solid-phase synthesizer. It includes four main reaction steps: a. DMTr removal reaction: The protecting group DMTr on the nucleoside is removed using dichloroacetic acid to obtain the 5'-hydroxy terminus. b. Coupling reaction: The protected nucleoside phosphoramidite monomer is mixed with the activator ethylthiotetrazole to activate the phosphoramidite group. The 5'-hydroxyl group, still protected with DMTr, condenses with the 5'-hydroxyl group bound to the solid support to produce phosphite triester. c. Oxidation reaction: Under the action of iodine, an oxidizing agent, the triester phosphite obtained in the previous condensation reaction is converted into a more stable phosphate ester (i.e., trivalent phosphorus is oxidized to pentavalent phosphorus). d. Sulfidation reaction: Under the action of the sulfidation reagent PADS (phenylacetyl disulfide), the phosphite triester obtained in the previous condensation reaction is converted to a phosphorothioate ester (oxidation or sulfidation is selected depending on the sequence design). e. Capping reaction: In the condensation reaction, a very small amount of unreacted 5'-hydroxy (less than 2%) may be present. Therefore, the reaction is carried out using acetic anhydride and 1-methylimidazole, and then capped with an acetate ester that cannot participate in the subsequent reaction to prevent further reaction. Such short fragments can be separated during purification. The above four steps are repeated until the desired sequence is synthesized. The main chemical equations are as follows:
[0247] After the final nucleoside monomer is attached, the nucleic acid sequence on the solid support is sequentially cleaved, deprotected, purified, and desalted, and then freeze-dried to obtain the sense and antisense strands.
[0248] Here: The conditions for cleavage and deprotection are as follows: First, an ammonia decomposition solution (a mixture of ammonia water and ethanol in a 3:1 ratio, to a volume of 2 mL) is prepared. The solid support is added to the reaction flask and shaken thoroughly to homogenize. Ammonia is decomposed in a constant temperature water bath at 50°C for 16 hours. After 16 hours of ammonia decomposition, the mixture is cooled to room temperature (25°C ± 2°C) in a water bath, filtered through a sintered glass filter, and the filtrate is collected in a round-bottom flask. The filtrate residue is washed with a 50% ethanol aqueous solution, and the filtrate is collected. It is concentrated using a rotary evaporator, transferred to a glass bottle, and a sample of the crude product is sent to the analytical department for LC-MS measurement of the crude product. The measurement method is as follows: The purity of the sense and antisense chains is measured using Waters Acquity UPLC-LTQ LCMS (column: ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18), and the molecular weight is analyzed. The measured values are in agreement with the theoretical values and are shown in Table 1. The purification and desalting conditions are as follows: Purification is performed using an ion-exchange chromatography column, desalting is performed using a Cytiva HiPrep™ 26 / 10 Desalting gel column, and then the single strands are freeze-dried. After freeze-drying the single strands, it is necessary to collect samples and measure them using LC-MS. Finally, the resulting sense strand and antisense strand need to be annealed to create a double strand. The annealing procedure is as follows: The purified sense and antisense chains are dissolved in sterile water for injection, and solutions of 0.1 mg / mL to 40 mg / mL are prepared. These are mixed in equimolar ratios using Thermo Scientific Nanodrop Eight, heated at 90°C for 5 minutes, and then allowed to cool slowly to form a double-stranded structure via hydrogen bonding. Samples are taken and the SEC purity of the product is measured, as shown in Table 2. The double-stranded samples are freeze-dried.
[0249] [Table 1] [Table 2] Example 10 Activity test of siRNA conjugates in mice
[0250] We selected SPF-grade female C57BL / 6J mice aged 6-8 weeks, with a body weight of 20±2. The weight was g. Before administration, the weight of the mice was measured, their condition was observed, and animals with uniform weight and no abnormalities were randomly divided into groups of 4. The mice in the experimental group were given the conjugate subcutaneously, and the mice in the solvent group were given phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), with each mouse receiving a dose of 1 mg / kg of the conjugate subcutaneously. 2 On day 0, the animals were euthanized, liver tissue was collected, and the liver was finely chopped according to standard procedures and placed in RNALater (Invitrogen, AM7021M) for subsequent RNA extraction. The liver tissue was homogenized in lysis solution (Changchun Zhiang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., MNTR / FX96) (Shanghai Jingxin Industrial Development Co., Ltd., JXFSTPRP-48L) to extract total RNA, which was reverse transcribed into cDNA (Takara, 6210B), and the expression level of the target gene, complement C5 mRNA, was measured by fluorescence qPCR (Vazyme, Q711). Primers for the target gene: Forward primer: CCAGCCCAATCAAGTTCCTAGAG; Reverse primer: CGGCGTGTAAACAGGTTTGTC; Primers for the internal standard gene GAPDH: Forward primer: TGCACCACCAACTGCTTAG; Reverse primer: GATGCAGGGATGATGTTC;
[0251] The results are shown as residual expression levels in the siRNA-administered group compared to the solvent group (solvent group set to 100%), and the siRNA sequences of the conjugates used for injection are shown in Table 1. As shown in Figure 1 and Table 3, conjugate SD003974 showed comparable target gene complement C5 mRNA silencing activity to the positive conjugate SD003317. Conjugates SD004119, SD004122, and SD004125 showed significantly superior activity to the target gene complement C5 mRNA silencing activity of conjugate SD003317.
