Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the Chinese National Intellectual Property Office on 18 May 2023, application number CN202310565102.7, with the title of the invention "6'-cyanomodified loc nucleosides, nucleotides and nucleic acid polymers," all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and more particularly to 6'-cyano-modified rock nucleosides, nucleotides, and nucleic acid polymers. [Background technology]
[0003] Nucleic acid drugs are at the forefront of biopharmaceutical development and represent the third type of drug, following small molecule drugs and protein drugs. Nucleic acid drugs mainly include antisense nucleic acids (ASOs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Compared to conventional small molecule drugs and protein drugs, they have advantages such as rapid design, universal targeting, high specificity, intracellular action, and relatively rapid synthesis. They hold significant value in treating many chronic, intractable, severe, and rare diseases that are difficult to treat with protein-targeted drugs. By 2022, 15 types of nucleic acid drugs (10 types of ASOs and 5 types of siRNAs) had been approved worldwide, and more than 400 types of nucleic acid drugs were in clinical trials.
[0004] However, on the one hand, the drug potential of unmodified oligonucleotide drugs is generally not ideal. They have poor drug-related characteristics such as low stability, susceptibility to degradation by nucleases, high polarity, poor cell entry, poor distribution characteristics, and low binding affinity to target mRNA. To achieve clinical efficacy, oligonucleotides must be chemically modified, and all commercially available nucleic acid drugs utilize corresponding nucleic acid chemical modifications. On the other hand, chemically modified antisense nucleic acid drugs can cause some degree of toxicity to highly exposed organs (liver and kidney), and chemically modified nucleic acid drugs such as high-affinity locked nucleic acids (LNA) and restricted ethyl-locked nucleic acids (cEt-LNA) on phosphorothioate (PS) backbone can cause hepatotoxicity or nephrotoxicity, including significant increases in liver ALT and AST, or damage such as necrosis, degeneration / regeneration of renal tubules. Therefore, efficient and safe new-generation nucleic acid chemical modification technologies remain a crucial technology and bottleneck in the development of nucleic acid drugs.
[0005] In recent years, antisense nucleic acid drugs have made significant progress in terms of their toxicity mechanisms (Non-Patent Literature 1). Studies have shown that the main toxicity mechanism of antisense nucleic acid drugs is that chemically modified thioantisense nucleic acid drugs (PS-ASOs) bind to and interfere with the intracellular distribution of intracellular proteins (e.g., P54nrb), inducing apoptosis and causing toxicity. Simultaneously, toxicity is positively correlated with the binding ability of the ASO-protein, with stronger binding affinity indicating greater potential toxicity. This binding ability is closely related to the water solubility (LogS) of the chemically modified structure, with stronger hydrophobicity leading to higher binding affinity. Experimental results have shown that the affinity of 2'-methoxyethyl (2'-MOE) for intracellular proteins can be reduced by 30 times compared to 2'-fluorine (2'-F). Therefore, the interaction between antisense nucleic acids and proteins is a determinant of the therapeutic effect of antisense nucleic acid drugs, and the structure determines the properties. In order to develop a novel nucleic acid chemical modification structure that is efficient and safe, the present inventors previously disclosed a novel cyanoloc nucleic acid (CN-LNA) modification structure (Patent Document 1), which showed high nuclease resistance and good target gene affinity and selectivity. At the same time, further chemical property calculations (Chemdraw calculations) showed that CN-LNA has good hydrophilicity, with a LogS value of -0.032, which is about 2 times, 4 times, and 20 times higher than the common 2'-methoxyethyl (MOE, LogS value of -0.073), loc nucleic acid (LNA, LogS value of -0.122), and 2'-fluorine (LogS value of -0.661), respectively. This indicates that it may reduce the binding affinity between PS-ASO and intracellular proteins, further reduce the impact on intracellular protein distribution, reduce toxicity, and improve therapeutic effect.
[0006] However, previously disclosed CN-LNA synthesis methods cannot stereoselectively synthesize both R and S configuration C6'-epimers, nor can they further explain the differences in drug-related properties of the C6'-epimers compared to their modified nucleic acids, thus failing to meet the need to establish a new generation of efficient and low-toxicity nucleic acid chemical modification technologies.
[0007] In view of this, the present invention is provided. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0129] Experiment details
[0130] Intracellular ASO-protein interactions are closely related to the drug properties of PS ASOs, and differences in chemical modifications significantly affect ASO-protein interactions, and further significantly affect the intracellular distribution of binding proteins and the induction of apoptotic toxicity. To detect the effect of cyanoloc nucleotide modifications on the interaction between ASO and intracellular proteins, the inventors used the toxic 3-10-3 gapmer PS ASO sequence 449093(5'- TTC AGTCATGACT TCC -3' (Sequence ID 1) was selected as the template sequence (Nature Biotech., 2019, 37, 640) for study. The T and corresponding sequences of the synthesized R-CN-LNA and S-CN-LNA were studied. m ¹C was introduced to both ends of the 449093 sequence by solid-phase phosphoramidite spectroscopy to synthesize ON1 and ON2, respectively. 449093 (ON3) was then modified with LNA for comparison. Mass spectrometry identification data are shown in Table 1, and the corresponding mass spectra are shown in Figures 1-3.
[0131] First, when the hybridization characteristics of ON1-3 and target RNA were measured, their Tm values were 67.04°C, 63.96°C, and 66.59°C, respectively. This indicated that PS-ASOs ON1-2 modified with CN-LNA still maintained good affinity with target RNA compared to PS-ASOs ON3 modified with LNA.
[0132] Next, we investigated the effect of cyanoloc nucleic acid modification on the interaction between ASOs and intracellular proteins using the intracellular paraspeckle protein P54nrb as a model protein. Paraspeckle protein P54nrb binds to toxic ASOs (low binding affinity at the nmol level), alters their distribution, and can enter the nucleolus and aggregate. This effect is clear and positively correlated with ASO toxicity. The results are shown by the aggregation status of paraspeckle protein P54nrb in the nucleolus.
[0133] Cells were transfected with ON1, ON2, and ON3, and the transfection times were set to 5 min, 2 h, and 4 h respectively. Finally, the protein localization of the P54nrb protein was observed with an inverted fluorescence microscope and photographed. As shown in Figure 4 (scale bar in the figure: 10 μm), the results are as follows. (1) At 5 min, the distribution of P54nrb in the cell nucleus was the same as that of the blank control, the nucleolus was clear, P54nrb was evenly distributed in the cell nucleus, and neither LNA nor CN-LNA modified ASO changed the distribution of P54nrb, and no aggregation in the nucleolus was observed. (2) For the LNA group, when the time was extended to 2 h and 4 h respectively, significant P54nrb aggregation appeared in the LNA group. The longer the incubation time, the more it aggregated in the nucleolus. It was shown that the binding affinity between the LNA modified ASO and intracellular proteins was strong, and it was easy to inhibit the normal distribution and function of intracellular proteins, resulting in toxicity and side effects. (3) From the R-CN-LNA group, the R-CN-LNA modified sequence ON1 showed no significant aggregation of the P54nrb protein in the nucleolus at 2 h, and the red fluorescence was evenly distributed in the cell nucleus. However, at 4 h, significant P54nrb aggregation occurred in some cells, but it was obvious that the degree of aggregation was significantly lower than that of the LNA group at the corresponding time point. (4) Regardless of whether it was 2 h or 4 h, the S-CN-LNA group showed no visible change in the distribution of P54nrb at each time point, and P54nrb was still evenly distributed in the cytoplasm.

[0135] Based on the current immunofluorescence experiments, in order to further quantify the effects of LNA, R-CN-LNA, and S-CN-LNA modifications on the distribution of P54nrb in the cell nucleus, the inventors statistically analyzed the percentage of the number of cells in which P54nrb was "significantly aggregated" in nucleosomes in each group of LNA, R-CN-LNA, and S-CN-LNA at 10 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h respectively, out of the total number of cells. As shown in Table 2, in the LNA group, with the increase in transfection time, the number of cells in which P54nrb was significantly aggregated in nucleosomes also increased. It was found that at 4 h of LNA transfection, P54nrb was significantly aggregated in nucleosomes in approximately 92% of the transfected cells. In the R-CN-LNA group, only 5% of the cells' P54nrb was significantly aggregated in nucleosomes at 2 h of ASO transfection, and only about 8% at 4 h. For the S-CN-LNA group, there was no significant aggregation of P54nrb, and the cell ratio was 0%. The above results indicated that compared with LNA modification, CN-LNA modification could actually reduce the effect of ASO on intracellular proteins, and the S configuration had less impact and was superior to the R configuration.
[0136] [Table 2] Percentage of cells in which LNA-ASO, R-CN-LNA-ASO, and S-CN-LNA-ASO significantly aggregated P54nrb in nucleosomes JPEG0007898764000164.jpg116149
[0137] Based on the above evaluation of the effects on the intracellular distribution of intracellular proteins, the effects of CN-LNA modification on the induction of apoptotic toxicity were further investigated by detecting caspase 3 / 7 activity in HeLa cells.
[0138] Cells were transfected with ON1, ON2, and ON3 at concentrations of 500 nM, 250 nM, 125 nM, 62.5 nM, 31.25 nM, and 0 nM, respectively. After 4 hours of transfection, the cells were incubated for 8 hours, and caspase 3 / 7 activity was detected using a fluorescence microplate reader. As shown in Figure 5, the experimental results were as follows: (1) At low concentrations (0-62.5 nM), no significant changes in caspase activity were observed in the three groups. (2) The LNA-modified group started at a concentration of 125 nM, and caspase activity levels rapidly increased with increasing dose concentration. The two CN-LNA-modified groups showed a gradual increase starting only at 250 nM, and the S configuration was lower than the R configuration. (3) At high concentrations of 250 nM and 500 nM, R-CN-LNA and S-CN-LNA modifications were able to reduce the increase in caspase activity by more than twice as much as LNA modifications, with the S configuration being superior to the R configuration. The above results show that R / S-CN-LNA modifications can significantly reduce PS ASO-induced apoptotic toxicity compared to LNA modifications, which is consistent with the results of immunofluorescence experiments.
[0139] In short, the introduction of cyano groups into LNA can reduce the lipophilicity of LNA and improve the water solubility of the modified structure. Cyanolock nucleic acid modification significantly reduces the effects of PS ASO on intracellular proteins, induces apoptosis toxicity, and improves the therapeutic effect of PS ASO. This demonstrates significant utility for nucleic acid drugs and can provide support for next-generation chemical modification technologies in nucleic acid medicine.
[0140] Test Example 2: Nuclease Resistance Experiment of S-CN-LNA-T
[0141] Nuclease stability is one of the important parameters of nucleotide chemical modification, and this experiment used snake venom phosphodiesterase (SVPDE) to analyze S-CN-LNA-T modified oligonucleotides (5'-TTTTTTTT). T T-3' (Sequence ID 2), TThe resistance of (=S-6'-CN-LNA)ON4 to nucleases was investigated and compared with the sequences of R-CN-LNA (ON5), LNA (ON6), thio-modified (ON7), and native (ON8). The corresponding nucleic acid sequences (7nM) were enzymatically digested using SVPDE (1.0 μg / mL) under physiological conditions at 37°C in a buffer system of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, pH 8.0. Incubation solutions were taken at different time points (0, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 min) and quantified by HPLC to obtain corresponding content-time curves. Results from nuclease resistance experiments (Figure 7, showing T=S-CN-LNA (rectangular) modified ON4, R-CN-LNA (rhomboid) modified ON5, LNA (triangular) modified ON6, 3'-thio-T (Ts, cross-shaped) modified ON7, and natural-T (star-shaped) modified ON8) indicate that under SVPDE 1.0 μg / mL conditions, the R-6'-CN-LNA modified sequence ON7 was slowly degraded, with over 40% still undegraded after 40 mins. The S-6'-CN-LNA modified sequence ON8 also showed over 50% undegraded, and less than 10% of the LNA modified sequences remained undegraded. This demonstrates that 6'-CN-LNA can significantly improve the resistance of oligonucleotides to nucleases, is clearly superior to LNA, and that the S configuration is superior to the R configuration.
[0142] Clearly, the cyano group, though relatively small, can enhance the nuclease stability of LNA, which is consistent with the results for other C6'-modified LNAs. Notably, while R and S configurations of cEt-LNA reported in the literature exhibit similar nuclease resistance, for CN-LNA, the S configuration is better for nuclease resistance than the R configuration. This suggests that CN has a more complex influence on phosphate, considering that the cyano group on the S configuration is oriented towards phosphate. If so, the interaction between CN-LNA-modified ASOs and proteins would have a greater influence than just electrostatic interactions.
