Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a compound or a salt thereof, as well as lipid particles and pharmaceutical compositions using the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Nucleic acid drugs have a clear mechanism of action against diseases and few side effects, making them promising next-generation pharmaceuticals. For example, nucleic acid drugs using siRNA (small interfering RNA) can inhibit the expression of target genes in a sequence-specific manner within cells. As a result, diseases and symptoms caused by the abnormal expression of specific genes or groups of genes can be alleviated or treated. In order for these nucleic acids to function, they must be delivered into cells.
[0003] Methods for efficiently delivering nucleic acids into cells include methods using viral vectors such as retroviruses and adenoviruses. While methods using viral vectors have high gene transfer efficiency, they are limited in the size of the gene to be transferred and have concerns about immunogenicity and safety. On the other hand, gene transfer using lipid particles is not limited in the gene to be transferred and can solve the above problems, so its development is actively underway.
[0004] As compounds to be contained in lipid particles, Patent Document 1 discloses compounds having an ester group, acetal group, or the like as a linking group connecting an aliphatic group and an amino group. Patent Document 2 also describes a compound having an alkylenediamine structure such as an ethylenediamine structure, and states that lipid particles containing this compound exhibit a high nucleic acid encapsulation rate and excellent nucleic acid delivery.

Either type of liposome may be included in the present invention.

For example, cryo-transmission electron microscopy (CryoTEM) can be used to determine whether the lipid particles have a lipid bilayer structure (lamellar structure) and an inner water layer, like liposomes, or whether they have an electron-dense core inside the particle packed with lipids and other components. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements can also be used to determine whether the lipid particles have a lipid bilayer structure (lamellar structure).
[0082] The particle size of the lipid particles of the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 to 1000 nm, more preferably 30 to 500 nm, and even more preferably 50 to 250 nm.

[0200] The molar ratios of the first lipid, phospholipid, sterol, and PEG lipid in the lipid composition, and the mass ratio of the nucleic acid to the total lipid during mixing are also shown in Table 3.
[0201] [Table 3]
[0202] <Measurement of particle size> The particle size and polydispersity index of the lipid particles were measured for a lipid particle dispersion by diluting 10-fold with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and using a zeta potential / particle size measurement system ELS-Z2 (Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.). The measurement results are shown in Table 3.
[0203] <Evaluation of encapsulation efficiency of PTEN ASO> (Quantification of total nucleic acid concentration) To 60 μL of lipid particles retaining nucleic acid, 30 μL of 3 mol / L aqueous sodium acetate solution and 9 μL of glycogen were added, and then 1.5 mL of ethanol was added to dissolve the lipid and precipitate only the nucleic acid. Thereafter, centrifugation was performed to remove the supernatant. After air-drying for 15 minutes or longer, water was added for redissolution, and the total nucleic acid concentration was quantified by measuring the concentration using a NanoDrop ND1000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
[0204] (Quantification of nucleic acid concentration in the external aqueous phase) Quantification was performed using the Quant-iT RiboGreen RNA Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the protocol. First, the 20×TE buffer included in the above kit was diluted with water to obtain 1×TE buffer. Note that TE indicates Tris / EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). To quantify only the nucleic acids in the outer aqueous phase, the lipid particle dispersion containing nucleic acids was diluted 10,000-fold with 1×TE buffer.
[0205] 100 μL of the lipid particle dispersion diluted 10,000-fold was placed in a 96-well plate. Subsequently, 100 μL of the RiboGreen reagent (the reagent included in the above Quanti-iT Ribogreen RNA Assay Kit) diluted 2,000-fold with 1×TE buffer was added to the sample, and the fluorescence (excitation wavelength: 485 nm, emission wavelength: 535 nm) was measured using a plate reader Infinite F200 (TECAN) to quantify the nucleic acid concentration in the outer aqueous phase.
[0206] (Calculation of encapsulation efficiency) Using the quantification results of the total nucleic acid concentration and the nucleic acid concentration in the outer aqueous phase obtained in the above steps, the nucleic acid encapsulation efficiency of the nucleic acid-lipid particles was calculated according to the following formula. Nucleic acid encapsulation efficiency (%) = (total nucleic acid concentration - nucleic acid concentration in the outer aqueous phase) ÷ total nucleic acid concentration × 100 The calculation results are shown in Table 3.
[0207] <PTEN mRNA knockdown evaluation in vitro> (Cells used for evaluation) [[ID=2I]] In in vitro tests using A431 cells (American Type Culture Collection), a mixture of E-MEM (gibco), FBS (fetal bovine serum) (gibco), Penicillin-streptomycin (gibco), and NEAA (Non-Essential Amino Acid) (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) at a ratio of 88:10:1:1 was used as the culture medium.
[0208] In in vitro studies using SH-SY5Y cells (American Type Culture Collection), a mixture of E-MEM (Gibco), Ham's F12 (Gibco), FBS (Gibco), Penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco), and NEAA (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries) in a ratio of 41.5:41.5:15:1:1 was used as the culture medium.
[0209] (PTEN mRNA quantification by PCR) PTEN protein mRNA measurement was performed using TaqMan® Fast Advanced Cells-to-CT. TM The protocol of the kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was followed. A dispersion of nucleic acid-lipid particles, naked ASO, or PBS, prepared to a final ASO concentration of 500 nmol / L, was added to A431 cells or SH-SY5Y cells. After 24 hours of exposure at 37°C and 5% CO2, the culture supernatant was removed and the cells were washed once with 4°C PBS. After removing the PBS, lysis solution was added at 50 μL / well and allowed to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes to obtain cell lysates. The cell lysates were analyzed using TaqMan® Fast Advanced Cells-to-CT. TM Reverse transcription and PCR reactions were performed using the PCR kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and PCR reaction reagents Hs02621230_s1, FAM / MGB (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and Human GAPDH Endogenous Control, VIC® / MGB (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
[0210] The PTEN mRNA value for each sample was calculated using the ΔΔCt method. Specifically, the ΔCt value for each sample was calculated by subtracting the GAPDH Ct value from the PTEN Ct value. The average ΔCt value for the PBS-treated group was subtracted from the calculated ΔCt value to calculate the ddCt value. Each ΔΔCt value was calculated relative to the naked ASO used as a comparison, and this was used as the PTEN mRNA relative value. The calculation results are shown in Table 4.
