Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical and biological engineering technology, and relates to a ribose-modified capped analogue and its application.
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024105145551, filed on April 26, 2024, and Chinese Patent Application No. 2024108141919, filed on June 24, 2024. The full text of the aforementioned Chinese patent applications is incorporated herein by reference. Prior Technology
[0003] The chemical essence of the cap structure is a special structure located at the 5' end of mRNA, namely the m7GPPPN structure, also known as the methylguanosine cap, formed during mRNA transcription. It is formed under the combined catalysis of RNA triphosphatase, guanylate transferase, mRNA (guanine-N7) methyltransferase, and mRNA (nucleoside-2') methyltransferase. Different degrees of methylation can form three types of caps: CAP0, CAP1, and CAP2, namely m7G5'ppp5'Np, m7G5'ppp5'NmpNp, and m7G5'ppp5'NmpNmpNp, respectively.
[0004] The cap structure is essential for the initiation of mRNA translation. It provides a signal for ribosomes to recognize mRNA, assists in the binding of ribosomes to mRNA, and enables translation to begin from AUG. Simultaneously, the cap structure increases the stability of mRNA, protecting it from attack by 5'→3' exonucleases.
[0005] In simple terms, the cap structure acts like a helmet for mRNA, protecting it from damage and allowing it to be chemically modified to be recognized by other molecules. Besides the natural cap structure, cap structure analogs are frequently used during in vitro transcription to improve mRNA structural stability; common examples include ARCA and Cap1 analogs.
[0006] Studies have shown that the cap structure of mRNA is closely related to mRNA quality control and the body's innate immunity. Therefore, inventing a novel cap analogue is of great significance for increasing mRNA stability and improving mRNA translation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The mRNA precipitate was then washed with 75% ethanol, and after briefly evaporating and drying the ethanol, the mRNA was reconstituted with sterile, enzyme-free water. (3) Purify the transcription products and record the in vitro transcription yield of mRNA. (4) Anneal the obtained mRNA with the probe. Annealing was performed in a PCR instrument at 95℃ for 5 min, 65℃ for 2 min, 55℃ for 2 min, 40℃ for 2 min, and 22℃ for 2 min. (5) Pretreatment of magnetic beads and binding to probe: Place 100 μL of magnetic beads on a magnetic rack for pretreatment. Add 120 μL of sample and magnetic bead solution and incubate at room temperature for 30 min, mixing slowly while incubating. (6) Cut the mRNA and obtain the 5' single-stranded sequence of the mRNA that binds to the probe. Add 20 μL Lnase H (5 U / μL) and incubate at 37°C for 3 hours, mixing every half hour. After incubation, wash the magnetic beads. Add 100 μL of 75% methanol heated to 80°C to the washed beads. Heat the mixture to 80°C on a hot plate for 3 minutes, then place it on a magnetic rack and aspirate the supernatant. Dry the supernatant at room temperature for 45 minutes to 10 μL using an evaporative centrifuge. Resuspend the sample in 50 μL of 100 μM EDTA / 1% MeOH for LC-MS analysis to determine the capping status of RNA during transcription. Since capped and uncapped bases have significant molecular weight differences, the capping rate of mRNA transcription initiated by different capping analogs can be determined by using the molecular weight difference. 2. Experimental Results The results of the in vitro transcription yield and capping rate measurements of mRNA showed that the ribose-modified capping analogues of this invention exhibited significant differences in both mRNA transcription yield and capping rate. Compared with existing ribose-modified capping analogues, the ribose-modified capping analogues of this invention significantly improved both mRNA transcription yield and capping rate in vitro. The specific mRNA in vitro transcription yield and capping rate are shown in Table 3.

The in vitro transcription yield and capping rate of YK-CAP-106~119 mRNA were significantly higher than those of YK-CAP-101~105. YK-CAP-111 had the highest transcription yield and capping rate, with a transcription yield 5.3 times that of the lowest YK-CAP-101 and a capping rate 3.2 times that of the lowest YK-CAP-102. As shown in Table 3, all the ribose-modified capped analogs in this application can transcribe mRNA. The mRNA transcription activity of different ribose-modified capped analogs varies significantly. The in vitro transcription yields of YK-CAP-106–119 mRNAs are all very high, exceeding 150 μg. Among them, YK-CAP-107, YK-CAP-110, YK-CAP-111, YK-CAP-117, and YK-CAP-118 yielded 170.7 μg, 172.1 μg, 173.5 μg, 153.2 μg, and 172.2 μg, respectively, with YK-CAP-111 achieving the highest yield of 173.5 μg (Figure 1). The lowest mRNA transcription yield was achieved by YK-CAP-101, at only 32.5 μg. YK-CAP-102–105 also showed low yields, at 44.1 μg, 88.0 μg, 73.2 μg, and 82.3 μg, respectively. YK-CAP-111, however, showed significantly higher transcription yields, being 5.3-fold, 3.9-fold, 2.0-fold, 2.4-fold, and 2.1-fold higher than YK-CAP-101–105. The capping rates of YK-CAP-106~119 are all very high, all exceeding 95%. Among them, the capping rates of YK-CAP-107, YK-CAP-110, YK-CAP-111, YK-CAP-117 and YK-CAP-118 are 97.3%, 97.4%, 98.1%, 95.1% and 97.2% respectively, with YK-CAP-111 having the highest capping rate at 98.1%. The lowest capping rate was achieved by YK-CAP-102, at only 30.2%. YK-CAP-101 and YK-CAP-103~105 also had low capping rates, at 42.8%, 71.1%, 77.2%, and 69.3%, respectively. YK-CAP-111 showed a significant improvement in capping rates, increasing by 2.3 times, 3.2 times, 1.4 times, 1.3 times, and 1.4 times compared to YK-CAP-101~105 (Figure 2). 2) The ribose-modified capping analogues of this application significantly improve both the in vitro transcription yield and capping rate of mRNA compared to existing ribose-modified capping analogues. For example, the transcription yield of YK-CAP-111 is 40.8% higher than that of compound 14, and the capping rate is 36.4% higher than that of 5227. The in vitro transcription yield and capping rate of compound 14 were 123.2 μg and 78.3%, respectively. In this application, the in vitro transcription yield and capping rate of YK-CAP-111 were 40.8% and 25.3% higher than those of compound 14, respectively, which is a significant improvement. The in vitro transcription yield and capping rate of mRNA of compound 5227 were 134.2 μg and 71.9%, respectively. In this application, the in vitro transcription yield and capping rate of mRNA of YK-CAP-111 were increased by 29.3% and 36.4% respectively compared with compound 5227, which is a significant improvement. 3) Riboside-modified capping analogs with similar structures have huge differences in mRNA in vitro transcription yield and capping rate, making it impossible to infer the mRNA in vitro transcription yield and capping rate based on structure. The ribose-modified capping analogs YK-CAP-117~119 designed in this application have very similar structures. This series of compounds is also very similar in structure to 5227, but the in vitro transcription yield and capping rate of mRNA differ greatly. For example, compounds YK-CAP-117~119 in this application differ from 5227 only in the substituent at C4 of the first sugar ring; that is, the C4 substituent in 5227 is methoxy, while the C4 substituents in YK-CAP-117~119 are methoxymethyl, 1-fluoromethyl, and difluoromethyl, respectively, with the other structures being identical. However, the in vitro transcription yield of YK-CAP-117~119 mRNA increased by 14.2%, 28.3%, and 14.9% compared to 5227, respectively, and the capping rate increased by 32.3%, 35.2%, and 33.9%, respectively, showing a significant improvement. Therefore, it can be seen that ribose-modified capping analogs with similar structures do not necessarily have similar mRNA transcription activities and capping rates; on the contrary, they are very likely to be very different. As can be seen from the in vitro transcription yield and capping rate of mRNA, the ribose-modified capping analogs YK-CAP-106~119 in this application significantly improve the in vitro transcription yield and capping rate of mRNA compared with YK-CAP-101~105 in this application, as well as with compounds 14 and 5227 in the prior art. This proves that the ribose modification of YK-CAP-106~119 has a good anti-reverse transcription effect during in vitro mRNA transcription, and can greatly increase the binding ability of the cap structure to the capping enzyme, thereby increasing the capping rate of transcribed mRNA.

Experimental Methods Cationic lipids YK-009 (Beijing Yuekang Kechuang Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.), DSPC (Aivert (Shanghai) Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.), cholesterol (Aivert (Shanghai) Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.), and DMG-PEG2000 were dissolved in ethanol at a molar ratio of 49:10:39.5:1.5, and mRNA was diluted in 50 mM citrate buffer at pH 4. Using a microfluidic device, the ethanol lipid solution was mixed with the above-prepared Fluc mRNA aqueous solution with different capping structures at a volume ratio of 1:3 at a flow rate of 10 mL / min, to prepare LNPs with a total lipid to mRNA weight ratio of approximately 15:1. The resulting liposomes were diluted 10 times with PBS and then ultrafiltered in 300 kDa ultrafiltration tubes to remove ethanol. The mixture was then brought to a certain volume with PBS. Finally, the lipid nanoparticles were filtered through a 0.2 μm sterile filter to obtain an LNP formulation of Fluc-mRNA encapsulated with YK-009 / DSPC / cholesterol / DMG-PEG2000 (molar percentage of 49:10:39.5:1.5). Particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) were determined using a Malvern laser particle size analyzer based on dynamic light scattering. 10 μL of liposome solution was diluted to 1 mL with RNase-free deionized water and added to the sample cell; each sample was measured three times. Measurement conditions were: 90° scattering angle, 25°C. The encapsulation efficiency of the lipid nanoparticles was determined using the Quant-it Ribogreen RNA Quantification Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, UK) according to the manufacturer's instructions. 2.

Experimental Methods (1) HEK293T cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS and penicillin / streptomycin at 37°C and 5% CO2. (2) Digest and count the cells in the culture dish, and spread 10,000 cells per well into a 96-well plate and culture overnight until the cells adhere. (3) When the cell density is about 80%, perform transfection by adding 0.5 μg of mRNA sample and Lipofectamine Messenger MAX Transfection Reagent (Invitrogen) to each well. Follow the instructions for transfection steps. (4) After transfecting the cells, they were cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 hours. The growth medium was then removed from the cells and the cells were washed with PBS. After centrifugation to remove the PBS, 50 μL of 1x lysis buffer was added. The cells and all liquids were then transferred to a microcentrifuge tube and centrifuged. (5) Take 20 μL of sample, add 100 μL of Dual-Lumi™ II firefly luciferase detection reagent that has been equilibrated to room temperature, and mix well.

Perform chemiluminescence detection using a multi-functional microplate reader with chemiluminescence detection function and record the data. 2. Experimental Results The relative fluorescence readings of capped mRNAs are shown in Table 5. The relative fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to the translation efficiency of the mRNA.

YK-CAP-111 demonstrates the strongest translation efficiency, being 9.6 times that of the lowest, YK-CAP-101. As shown in Table 5, the relative fluorescence intensities (corresponding to mRNA translation efficiency) of the ribose-modified capped analogs in this application differed significantly. YK-CAP-106–119 all exhibited relatively high relative fluorescence intensities (between 1.4 and 2.2), with YK-CAP-107, YK-CAP-110, YK-CAP-111, YK-CAP-117, and YK-CAP-118 showing relative fluorescence intensities of 1.62, 1.95, 2.12, 1.82, and 1.65, respectively. YK-CAP-111 had the highest intensity at 2.12, followed by YK-CAP-110 at 1.95. The lowest relative fluorescence intensity was found in YK-CAP-101, at only 0.22. The relative fluorescence intensities of YK-CAP-102 to 105 were also very low, at 0.34, 0.77, 0.81, and 0.72, respectively. The relative fluorescence intensities of YK-CAP-111 were 9.6 times, 6.2 times, 2.8 times, 2.6 times, and 2.9 times that of YK-CAP-001 to 105, respectively, while the relative fluorescence intensities of YK-CAP-110 were 8.9 times, 5.7 times, 2.5 times, 2.4 times, and 2.7 times that of YK-CAP-001 to 105, respectively (Figure 3). 2) The ribose-modified capped analogues of this application exhibit significantly improved mRNA translation efficiency compared to existing ribose-modified capped analogues. For example, the translation efficiency of YK-CAP-111 reached 5.6 times that of m6A. The relative fluorescence intensities (corresponding to mRNA translation efficiency) of N-7113, HN3002, compound 14, and m6A were 1.00, 1.12, 1.13, and 0.38, respectively. The relative fluorescence intensities of YK-CAP-111 in this application were 2.1 times, 1.9 times, 1.9 times, and 5.6 times that of N-7113, HN3002, compound 14, and m6A, respectively. The relative fluorescence intensities of YK-CAP-110 in this application were 1.9 times, 1.7 times, 1.7 times, and 5.1 times that of N-7113, HN3002, compound 14, and m6A, respectively. 3) Riboso-modified capped analogs with similar structures have vastly different mRNA translation efficiencies, making it impossible to infer mRNA translation efficiency based on structure. The structures of the ribose-modified capped analogs designed in this application, YK-CAP-117~119, are very similar, and this series of compounds is also very similar to 5227. However, their mRNA translation efficiencies differ significantly. For example, the only difference between compounds YK-CAP-117~119 and 5227 is the substituent at C4 on the first sugar ring; that is, the C4 substituent in 5227 is methoxy, while the C4 substituents in YK-CAP-117~119 are methoxymethyl, 1-fluoromethyl, and difluoromethyl, respectively, with the other structures being identical. However, the mRNA translation efficiencies of YK-CAP-117~119 are 2.2 times, 2.0 times, and 1.8 times that of 5227, respectively, showing a significant improvement. Similarly, the structures of the ribose-modified capped analogs designed in this application, YK-CAP-113~116, are very similar, and this series of compounds is also very similar to the structure of CAP-2'O-ethyl. However, their mRNA translation efficiencies differ greatly. For example, the C2 substituent on the second sugar ring of compounds YK-CAP-113~116 in this application differs from that of CAP-2'O-ethyl only in that the C2 substituent of CAP-2'O-ethyl is ethoxy; the C2 substituents of YK-CAP-113~116 are methoxymethyl, acetaminomethyl, 1-fluoromethyl, and difluoromethyl, respectively, while the other structures are completely identical. However, the mRNA translation efficiencies of YK-CAP-113~116 are 1.4 times, 1.3 times, 1.5 times, and 1.2 times that of CAP-2'O-ethyl, respectively, showing a significant improvement. Therefore, it can be seen that the translation efficiency of luciferase mRNAs with similar structures and ribose modifications is not necessarily similar; on the contrary, they are very likely to differ greatly. The translation efficiency of different capped luciferase mRNAs shows that the ribose-modified capped analogs in this application, including YK-CAP-106~119, exhibit significantly improved mRNA translation efficiency compared to structurally similar ribose-modified capped analogs (including YK-CAP-101~105, 5227, CAP-2'O-ethyl, N-7113, and HN3002) and structurally different ribose-modified capped analogs (including compounds 14 and m6A). This indicates that the modified ribose of YK-CAP-106~119 binds more readily to the cap-binding protein (EIF4E), thereby improving the translation efficiency of the target mRNA. Furthermore, it is not necessarily true that structurally similar ribose-modified capped analog luciferase mRNAs have similar translation efficiencies; on the contrary, they are highly likely to differ significantly.

Experimental Methods 30 pmol RNAs purified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) were reacted with 50 U mRNA uncapping enzyme (New England Biolabs) and 1×MDE buffer at 37°C for 45 min. The reactants were then subjected to PAGE electrophoresis and stained with SYBR Green II (Lonza). The gel images were observed on a Typhoon FLA7000 (GE Healthcare) instrument. The ratio of capped RNA to uncapped RNA band intensity was calculated using ImageQuant (GE Healthcare) software to determine the uncapping rate of the uncapping enzyme. 2.

The capping rates of YK-CAP-106~119 are significantly lower than those of YK-CAP-101~105. YK-CAP-117 has the lowest capping rate, which is 36.3% lower than that of YK-CAP-104, the highest rate. As shown in Table 6, the decapping rates of the ribose-modified cap analogs YK-CAP-101~119 in this application vary greatly. The decapping rates of YK-CAP-106~119 are all very low. Among them, the decapping rates of YK-CAP-107, YK-CAP-110, YK-CAP-111, YK-CAP-117 and YK-CAP-118 are 11.5%, 10.2%, 11.5%, 9.8% and 11.9%, respectively. The lowest decapping rate is that of YK-CAP-117, at only 9.8%, followed by YK-CAP-110 at 10.2%. YK-CAP-104 had the highest decapsulation rate at 46.1%, followed by YK-CAP-101, YK-CAP-102, YK-CAP-103, and YK-CAP-105 at 32.4%, 41.2%, 36.5%, and 33.9%, respectively. YK-CAP-117 showed a decapsulation rate 22.6%, 31.4%, 26.7%, 36.3%, and 24.1% lower than YK-CAP-101–105, respectively, while YK-CAP-110 showed a decapsulation rate 22.2%, 31.0%, 26.3%, 35.9%, and 23.7% lower than YK-CAP-101–105 (Figure 4). 2) The ribose-modified capped analogues of this application have a significantly lower decapping rate compared to ribose-modified capped analogues with similar or significantly different structures in the prior art. For example, the decapping rate of YK-CAP-117 is 34.0% lower than that of N-7113. The decapping rates of N-7113, Compound 14, HN3002, and m6A were 43.8%, 26.8%, 23.3%, and 33.8%, respectively. In this application, the decapping rate of YK-CAP-117 was reduced by 34.0%, 17.0%, 13.5%, and 24.0% compared to N-7113, Compound 14, HN3002, and m6A, respectively, and the decapping rate of YK-CAP-110 was reduced by 33.6%, 16.6%, 13.1%, and 23.6% compared to N-7113, Compound 14, HN3002, and m6A, respectively. 3) Riboside-modified capping analogs with similar structures have vastly different uncapping rates, making it impossible to infer the mRNA capping rate based on their structure. The structures of the ribose-modified capped analogs designed in this application, YK-CAP-117~119, are very similar, and this series of compounds is also very similar to 5227. However, their mRNA uncapping rates differ significantly. For example, the only difference between compounds YK-CAP-117~119 and 5227 is the substituent at C4 on the first sugar ring; that is, the C4 substituent in 5227 is methoxy, while the C4 substituents in YK-CAP-117~119 are methoxymethyl, 1-fluoromethyl, and difluoromethyl, respectively, with the other structures being identical. However, the mRNA uncapping rates of YK-CAP-117~119 are significantly lower than those of 5227, decreasing by 13.4%, 11.3%, and 11.8%, respectively. Similarly, the structures of the ribose-modified capped analogs designed in this application, YK-CAP-113~116, are very similar, and this series of compounds is also very similar to the structure of CAP-2'O-ethyl. However, the mRNA uncapping rates differ greatly. For example, the C2 substituent on the second sugar ring of compounds YK-CAP-113~116 in this application differs from that of CAP-2'O-ethyl only in that the C2 substituent of CAP-2'O-ethyl is ethoxy; the C2 substituents of YK-CAP-113~116 are methoxymethyl, acetaminomethyl, 1-fluoromethyl, and difluoromethyl, respectively, while the other structures are completely identical. However, the mRNA uncapping rates of YK-CAP-113~116 are significantly lower than those of CAP-2'O-ethyl, decreasing by 13.0%, 14.1%, 13.0%, and 14.0%, respectively. Therefore, it can be seen that ribose-modified capped analogs with similar structures do not necessarily have similar capping rates; on the contrary, they are very likely to have huge differences. As can be seen from the decapping rate of the DCP2 enzyme, the ribose-modified capped analogs in this application, including YK-CAP-106~119, show significantly lower decapping rates compared to structurally similar ribose-modified capped analogs (including YK-CAP-101~105 in this application, as well as 5227, CAP-2'O-ethyl, N-7113, and HN3002 in the prior art) and ribose-modified capped analogs with significantly different structures (including compounds 14 and m6A). Furthermore, structurally similar ribose-modified capped analogs do not necessarily have similar decapping rates; on the contrary, they are very likely to differ greatly.
[0544] Example 6: Animal Experiment 1. Experimental Methods LNP formulation containing 5 μg of Fluc-mRNA transcribed from a capped analog was intramuscularly injected into 4-6 week old female BALB / c mice weighing 17-19 g.

YK-CAP-110 had the highest total radiation intensity, which was 11.0 times and 12.1 times higher than the lowest, YK-CAP-101, at 12h and 48h, respectively. As can be seen from the data in Table 7, the total radiation intensity of proteins expressed by different ribose-modified cap analogs mRNAs in mice varied greatly. The total radiation intensity in in vivo imaging of mice with YK-CAP-106~119 mice was very high, with YK-CAP-110 having the highest total radiation intensity, reaching 10.55×10⁸ p / s at 12h and still reaching 2.30×10⁸ p / s at 48h. YK-CAP-111 was the second highest, reaching 9.34×10⁸ p / s at 12h and still reaching 1.95×10⁸ p / s at 48h. YK-CAP-101 has the lowest total radiation intensity, at 0.96 × 10⁸ p / s over 12 hours and only 0.19 × 10⁸ p / s over 48 hours. YK-CAP-110's total radiation intensity is 11.0 times that of YK-CAP-101 over 12 hours and 12.1 times over 48 hours. YK-CAP-111's total radiation intensity is 9.7 times that of YK-CAP-101 over 12 hours and 10.3 times over 48 hours. 2) The ribose-modified capped analogue of this application significantly increases the total radiation intensity and duration of the protein expressed by the mRNA in mice compared with existing ribose-modified capped analogues that are structurally similar or significantly different. For example, the total radiation intensity of YK-CAP-110 is 5.0 times that of m6A at 12h and 4.4 times that at 48h. The total radiation intensities of N-7113 and m6A were 4.33×10⁸ p / s and 2.12×10⁸ p / s, respectively, over 12 hours, and 0.49×10⁸ p / s and 0.52×10⁸ p / s, respectively, over 48 hours. The total radiation intensity of YK-CAP-110 in this application is 2.4 times and 5.0 times that of N-7113 and m6A, respectively, at 12h, and 4.7 times and 4.4 times, respectively, at 48h. The total radiation intensity of YK-CAP-111 in this application is 2.2 times and 4.4 times that of N-7113 and m6A, respectively, at 12h, and 4.0 times and 3.8 times, respectively, at 48h. 3) Ribosaccharide-modified analogs with similar structures exhibit vastly different total radiation intensity and duration of protein expression in mice, making it impossible to infer the total radiation intensity and duration of protein expression in mice based on their structures. The structures of the ribose-modified capped analogs designed in this application, YK-CAP-117~119, are very similar, and this series of compounds is also very similar to 5227. However, the total radiation intensity of the proteins expressed by the mRNA in mice varies greatly. For example, the compounds YK-CAP-117~119 in this application differ from 5227 only in the substituent group at C4 on the first sugar ring; that is, the C4 substituent of 5227 is methoxy, while the C4 substituents of YK-CAP-117~119 are methoxymethyl, 1-fluoromethyl, and difluoromethyl, respectively, with the other structures being completely identical. However, the total radiation intensity of the proteins expressed by YK-CAP-117~119 mRNA in mice after 6 hours is 3.8 times, 3.0 times, and 3.1 times that of 5227, respectively, showing a significant increase. Similarly, the structures of the ribose-modified capped analogs designed in this application, YK-CAP-113~116, are very similar, and this series of compounds is also very similar to the structure of CAP-2'O-ethyl. However, the total radiation intensity of the proteins expressed by the mRNA in mice varies greatly. For example, the C2 substituent on the second sugar ring of compounds YK-CAP-113~116 in this application differs from that of CAP-2'O-ethyl only in that the C2 substituent of CAP-2'O-ethyl is ethoxy; the C2 substituents of YK-CAP-113~116 are methoxymethyl, acetaminomethyl, 1-fluoromethyl, and difluoromethyl, respectively, while the other structures are completely identical. However, the total radiation intensity of the proteins expressed by YK-CAP-114 and YK-CAP-116 mRNA in mice after 6 hours is 1.6 times and 1.7 times that of CAP-2'O-ethyl, respectively, which is significantly higher. Therefore, it can be seen that Fluc mRNA prepared from structurally similar ribose-modified capped analogs does not necessarily have similar protein expression levels and durations in mice; on the contrary, they are very likely to differ greatly. Animal experiments show that the ribonucleotide-modified capped analogs in this application, such as YK-CAP-106~119, significantly increase the protein expression level and duration of mRNA in mice, whether compared with structurally similar ribonucleotide-modified capped analogs (including YK-CAP-101~105 in this application, as well as 5227, N-7113 and CAP-2'O-ethyl in the prior art) or with structurally different ribonucleotide-modified capped analogs (m6A). In vivo experiments further demonstrated that the mRNA transcribed from YK-CAP-106~119 in this application can be effectively delivered into the body by the LNP delivery vector and expressed efficiently and sustainably. Furthermore, Fluc mRNA prepared from structurally similar ribose-modified capped analogs does not necessarily have similar protein expression levels and durations in mice; on the contrary, they are very likely to differ significantly. In summary, the ribose-modified capping analogs YK-CAP-106~119 of this application significantly improve mRNA in vitro transcription yield, capping rate, mRNA translation efficiency, uncapping enzyme stability, and protein expression levels and duration in animals compared to existing ribose-modified capping analogs (including 5227, CAP-2'O-ethyl, N-7113, compound 14, HN3002, and m6A). This indicates that the YK-CAP-106~119 capping structure provided by this invention can significantly improve the tolerance of modified ribose structures to uncapping enzymes and their binding affinity to capping enzymes, providing a novel and efficient ribose-modified capping structure for in vitro mRNA transcription. 1.

The first sugar ring of compound 14 is a locked nucleic acid sugar ring, that is, there is a methylene bridge between 2'-O and C4'; the second base of m6A, adenine, is modified by methylation. 2.

YK-CAP-111 had the highest transcription yield and capping rate, with a transcription yield 5.3 times that of the lowest YK-CAP-101 and a capping rate 3.2 times that of the lowest YK-CAP-102. 2) The ribose-modified capping analogues in this application significantly improve both the in vitro transcription yield and capping rate of mRNA compared to existing ribose-modified capping analogues. For example, the transcription yield of YK-CAP-111 is 40.8% higher than that of compound 14, and the capping rate is 36.4% higher than that of 5227. 3) Riboside-modified capping analogs with similar structures exhibit significant differences in mRNA in vitro transcription yield and capping rate. For example, the in vitro transcription yield of YK-CAP-117~119 mRNA increased by 14.2%, 28.3%, and 14.9% compared to 5227, respectively, while the capping rate increased by 32.3%, 35.2%, and 33.9%, respectively. 3.
