Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lipid delivery carriers, which are cationic lipid compounds that can be combined with other lipid components to form drug-loadable nanolipid particles and that achieve nucleic acid delivery from the extracellular space to the intracellular space in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, the present invention relates to cationic lipid compounds, compositions, and uses for nucleic acid delivery. [Background technology]

[0002] Nucleic acid drugs are drugs that replace, compensate, block, or modify specific genes by introducing foreign genes into target cells or tissues to achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases. Their development and production process is relatively simple, with short development periods, a high success rate in clinical development, and improved flexibility. In recent years, nucleic acid vaccines have proven to have great market potential as one of the main methods for preventing COVID-19.

[0003] However, naked mRNA has a short circulation time in the body, is easily degraded, and is difficult to enter target cells or tissues. Therefore, improving the delivery efficiency of mRNA drugs in the body is an important way to improve the effectiveness of such products.

[0004] Currently, the most widely used nucleic acid drug delivery carrier is lipid nanoparticles, which have the advantages of protecting nucleic acids from rapid degradation in the body, extending cycle time, and enhancing targeted delivery, thereby improving the therapeutic efficacy and targeted delivery of gene drugs. They are composed of two to four lipid components, including a cationic lipid compound, zero to two auxiliary lipids, and zero to one PEG lipid. Among these, cationic lipid compounds play an important role in the encapsulation and release of nucleic acids, making the development of novel, highly efficient, and low-toxicity cationic lipid compounds extremely important. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides sulfur-containing cationic lipid compounds, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and stereoisomers or tautomers thereof, whose primary use is in combination with other lipid components in specific ratios to form lipid nanoparticles for delivery of prophylactic or therapeutic agents (e.g., therapeutic nucleic acids).

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for synthesizing the corresponding lipid compounds, which uses readily available raw materials, employs a mild reaction route, has a high product yield, requires little equipment, and is easy to operate.

[0007] In some examples, the therapeutic nucleic acid comprises a plasmid DNA, messenger RNA, antisense oligonucleotide (ASON), microRNA (miRNA), interfering RNA (micRNA), dicer substrate RNA, or complementary DNA (cDNA).

[0052] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0053] Example 1 Synthesis of compound 2 [ka]

[0054] Step 1: To a solution of compound 2-1 (3.00 g) in tert-butanol (20 mL), 1-decanol (3.23 g) and cesium carbonate (11.1 g) were added sequentially. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, and then spotted (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate = 10:1) to reveal the formation of a new spot. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the resulting filtrate was concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel column, eluting with a petroleum ether solution containing 0-10% ethyl acetate (volume percent)) to give compound 2-2 (3.93 g, 69% yield).

[0055] Step 2: To a solution of compound 2-2 (3.00 g) in THF (20 mL) and water, lithium hydroxide (860 mg) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 60 °C for 16 h. TLC showed the formation of an increasingly polar spot. The reaction mixture was concentrated to remove tetrahydrofuran, diluted with water, and extracted once with ethyl acetate (30 mL). The aqueous phase was adjusted to pH 2 with dilute hydrochloric acid and extracted twice with ethyl acetate (30 mL). The organic layers were combined and concentrated to give compound 2-3 (2.10 g, 95% yield).

[0056] Step 3: Compound 2-3 (2.0 g) was dissolved in DCM (20 ml) and stirred at room temperature. 1-Ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI, 2.0 g), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, 1.3 g), and 5-bromo-1-pentanol (1.5 g) were weighed sequentially and added in portions to the reaction mixture. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. A small amount of the reaction mixture was diluted and spotted against a standard sample of 2-3 (PE / EA = 10 / 1, phosphomolybdic acid). A new spot with reduced polarity was observed. The reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure, and an appropriate amount of silica gel and DCM were added. The mixture was stirred and purified (10 g normal-phase column, PE / EA, 0-0% 5 min, 0-5% 20 min, 5-5% 5 min, flow rate 15 ml / min) to give compound 2-4 (2.8 g, 87% yield) as a colorless oil.

[0057] Step 4: Compound 2-5 (5.0 g) was dissolved in dichloromethane (70 ml) and stirred at room temperature. 1-Ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI, 4.48 g), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, 3.57 g), and 8-bromooctanoic acid (4.78 g) were weighed and added in portions to the reaction mixture, which was then stirred at room temperature for 3 h. A small amount of the reaction mixture was diluted and spotted against a standard sample of 2-5 (PE / EA = 10 / 1, phosphomolybdic acid). A new spot with reduced polarity was observed. The reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure, and then stirred with an appropriate amount of silica gel and DCM. The mixture was purified (60 g normal phase column, PE / EA, 0-0% 5 min, 0-5% 20 min, 5-5% 5 min, flow rate 30 ml / min) to give colorless oily liquid compound 2-6 (8.0 g, 88.9% yield). Compounds 2-6 in Examples 1-6, 8-10, 11-13, and 16-18 below were all synthesized using this method.

[0058] Step 5: Potassium carbonate (7.19 g) was added to a solution of compound 2-6 (8.0 g) and ethanolamine (1.59 g) in acetonitrile (50 mL). The mixture was stirred at 70 °C for 2 h. TLC showed that compound 2-6 had completely disappeared and a single increasingly polar spot had formed. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the resulting filtrate was concentrated. The crude product was added to an appropriate amount of silica gel and DCM and stirred. The mixture was purified (25 g normal-phase column, PE / EA, 0-0% 5 min, 0-10% 20 min, 10-10% 5 min, flow rate 20 mL / min) to give compound 2-7 (4.2 g, 54.9% yield) as a colorless oil.

[0059] Step 6: Compound 2-4 (500 mg) was dissolved in acetonitrile (10 ml) and stirred at room temperature. Then, NaI (191 mg), KCO (527 mg), and compound 2-7 (673 mg) were weighed and added in portions to the reaction mixture. The mixture was heated to reflux and stirred at 85°C for 3 hours. A small amount of the reaction mixture was diluted and spotted (DCM / MeOH = 10 / 1, 1d aqueous ammonia, phosphomolybdic acid). A new spot with a lower polarity than 2-7 was observed.

Purification was performed with spot plate monitoring (30 g normal-phase column, PE / EA, 0-0% 10 min, 0-2% 20 min, 2-2% 5 min, flow rate 30 mL / min).

[0145] 3 mL of mRNA buffer and 1 mL of lipid solution were placed in a 5 mL syringe and attached to a microfluidic syringe pump. The chip was connected to the syringe, the flow rate of the syringe pump was set, and the start button was clicked to inject the solution into the chip at a flow rate ratio of 3:1. The color of the product at the chip outlet was observed, and the first 5 milky white droplets (approximately 100 μL) were discarded. The remaining samples were collected in an EP tube. The collected material was placed in a dialysis bag and dialyzed against 10 mM PBS (pH 7.4) for 6 hours (molecular weight cutoff: 100 kDa).

As can be seen from the results, the nanoparticles formed by this combination of lipids and mRNA had a high encapsulation rate and a uniform particle size of approximately 100 nm, satisfying the basic properties of a nucleic acid delivery carrier.

[0147] [Table 2]

[0148] Example 21 Measurement of the in vivo expression effect of luciferase mRNA delivered by tail vein injection of nanolipid particle composition Six- to eight-week-old BALB / c mice were injected via the tail vein with LUC-mRNA-lipid nanoparticles containing 5 μg of mRNA prepared as in Example 19 (see SEQ ID NO: 1 in Patent Publication CN114380724A for the nucleotide sequence corresponding to LUC-mRNA). At specific time points, mice were injected with 100 μg of D-luciferin potassium salt via the tail vein and detected using a PerkinElmer small animal imaging system. Fluc is commonly used in mammalian cell cultures to measure gene expression and cellular activity and emits biological fluorescence in the presence of the substrate luciferin. The mRNA used had a basic ARCA cap structure, a polyA tail length of 100-120 nt, and was fully substituted with pseudouracil. As shown in Figure 1, nanolipid particle compositions composed of compounds designed in this invention delivered mRNA to the liver at levels comparable to or better than DLin-MC3-DMA, with some compounds even superior to Lipid M.

[0149] Example 22 Measurement of the in vivo expression efficacy of luciferase mRNA delivered by pulmonary nebulization of nanolipid particle composition LUC-mRNA-lipid nanoparticles containing 5 μg of mRNA prepared as in Example 19 were delivered to the lungs of 6-8 week-old BALB / c mice by aerosol. At specific time points, the mice were injected with 100 μg of D-luciferin potassium salt via the tail vein, and the results were detected using a PerkinElmer small animal imaging system. As shown in Figure 2, the nanolipid particle composition consisting of compounds 7 and 35 showed superior fluorescence levels of the delivered mRNA compared to Lipid M and SM-102.

[0150] Example 23: Delivery of a novel coronavirus mRNA vaccine by nanolipid particle compositions Six-week-old BALB / c mice were immunized with mRNA novel coronavirus pneumonia vaccines (Omicron antigen mRNA; the corresponding nucleotide sequence is shown in Patent Publication CN114380724A) delivered via different nanolipid particle compositions via intramuscular injection on days 0 and 14. Blood samples were collected on day 28 (14 days after the secondary immunization) and neutralizing antibody titers were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to evaluate the protective effect of the mRNA novel coronavirus pneumonia vaccines delivered via different nanolipid particle compositions against SARS-CoV-2 virus strain infection. As shown in Figure 3, the nanolipid particle composition consisting of compound 35 induced a binding antibody titer of 1.4 million, with a Lipid M titer of approximately 930,000, due to the delivered novel coronavirus mRNA. Example 24: Delivery of a novel coronavirus mRNA vaccine to the lungs using a nanolipid particle composition According to Example 20, more lipid nanoparticles were prepared and the immune effect of delivering a novel coronavirus mRNA vaccine to the lungs was examined. Eight-week-old BALB / c mice were immunized on day 0 with 2 μg of mRNA novel coronavirus pneumonia vaccine (Omicron antigen mRNA; the corresponding nucleotide sequence is SEQ ID NO: 6 in Patent Publication CN114380724A) delivered using different nanolipid particle compositions via pulmonary aerosolization. Blood samples were collected on day 14, and binding antibody titers were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to evaluate the protective effect of mRNA novel coronavirus pneumonia vaccines delivered using different nanolipid particle compositions against SARS-CoV-2 virus strain infection (results are shown in Figure 4). The results show that the binding antibody titers of the compounds of the present invention were significantly improved compared to Lipid 5.

[0151] Example 25: Properties of nanolipid particle compositions with different lipid components and ratios To investigate the formulation potential of compound 35 with different co-lipids and lipid ratios, an experimental design was conducted. Nanoparticles were prepared by mixing lipid mixtures with different structured lipids (DOPE, DSPC), different lipid ratios (cation 45-55%, PEG lipid 1.5-2.5%, structured lipid 8-22%, cholesterol 20.5-45.5%), different nitrogen / phosphorus ratios (5-10), and Luc mRNA using a microfluidic control method (as in Example 19). The results are shown in Table 2.

[0152] [Table 3]

[0153] As can be seen from the results in Table 2, nanoparticles formed using a lipid mixture and mRNA within the above ranges had a uniform particle size, a high encapsulation rate, and good formulation suitability.

[0154] Example 26: Study of the in vivo expression effect of luciferase mRNA delivered by different cations The effect of luciferase mRNA delivered by more cationic lipids was examined according to the methods of Example 20 and Example 21. Table 3 below shows the characteristic results.

[0155] [Table 4]

[0156] Note that, because the experimental lots were different, the data for encapsulation rate and particle size DPI in Table 3 differ from those in Table 1.

[0157] As can be seen from the above table, the above compound has a high encapsulation rate, uniform particle size, and a much higher efficiency of delivering Luciferase mRNA into the body than the commercially available lipid DLin-MC3-DMA.

[0158] Example 27: Study of expression efficiency using cationic lipid proteins In this example, the in vivo transfection efficacy of erythropoietin (EPO) with different cationic lipids was compared. Nanoparticles were prepared as in Example 20. The nucleotide sequence corresponding to EPO mRNA was CN114380724B, SEQ ID NO:2. After preparation, 20 μg of EPO-mRNA-lipid nanoparticles were injected via the tail vein of 6-8 week-old female Balb / c mice. Six hours later, blood was collected from the eye margins of the mice. The serum was centrifuged and the expression level of EPO protein was measured by ELISA. The mRNA used was characterized by an ARCA cap structure, a 100-120 nt polyA tail, and fully substituted pseudouracil residues. The preparation and protein detection results are shown in Table 4.

[0159] [Table 5]

[0160] Note: Because the experimental lots were different, the data on the encapsulation rate and particle size DPI in Table 4 differ from those in Tables 1 and 3.

[0161] As can be seen from the above table, the above compound has a high encapsulation rate, uniform particle size, and the protein translation efficiency of EPO mRNA delivery into the body is much higher than that of the commercially available lipid DLin-MC3-DMA.

[0162] Example 28: Study of abnormal toxicity caused by cationic lipids In this experiment, the nanoparticles prepared in Example 27 were injected via the tail vein of female SD rats weighing 200-250 g at a dose of 5 mg / kg, and control mice were injected with a corresponding volume of saline. Mice in the DLin-MC3-DMA group died within 18 h after injection. No abnormalities were observed in the weight, feeding, or activity of the other mice during the observation period. This indicates that DLin-MC3-DMA lipids exhibited stronger toxicity. Blood samples were taken 120 h after injection, and glutamic acid pyruvate transferase (ALT), glutamic acid oxaloacetate transferase (AST), urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine (SCRI) were analyzed using an automated biochemical analyzer to assess liver and kidney function. As can be seen from the results in Figure 5, lipids No. 35 (compound 35) and No. 51 (compound 51) showed a slight decrease in BUN values ​​(although both values ​​were within the normal range for healthy individuals), but other lipid nanoparticles showed no significant changes in other indicators. Therefore, such cationic lipids do not affect liver and kidney function, have low toxicity, and are suitable for use in protein replacement pipelines.

[0163] Example 29 Comparison of the effects of intratumoral injection of nanolipid particle compositions In the preparation of Example 20, lipid nanoparticles encapsulating different types of luciferase mRNA were prepared and injected into the right flank of 6-8 week old female C57BL6 mice at a dose of 5 × 10 5 B16F10 cells (derived from the Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, CSTR: 19375.09.3101MOUTCM36) were subcutaneously injected per mouse, and tumor growth was observed and recorded periodically. On the 8th day after tumor inoculation, the tumor length (L, mm) and width (D, mm) were measured with a caliper and calculated using the formula V = (L × D 2 ) / 2, the tumor volume (V) was calculated. 3Mice were randomly divided into groups and injected intratumorally with 25 μL / 2.5 μg of lipid nanoparticles loaded with different types of luciferase mRNA. 24 hours later, autopsy imaging was performed to detect the fluorescence intensity of the mouse liver and tumor (shown in Figures 6 and 7). The results showed that compounds 35 and 51 had higher fluorescence intensity in the tumor and lower fluorescence intensity in the liver. Their superior tumor in situ expression effect and lower liver metastasis indicated their application in the encapsulation and delivery of several tumor-therapeutic nucleic acid drugs.
