POLYMER FORMULATIONS FOR DELIVERY OF POLYNUCLEOTIDESCROSS-REFERENCE

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 521,032, filed June 14, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE OF SEQUENCE LISTING

[0002] The present application is being filed along with a Sequence Listing in electronic format. The Sequence Listing is provided as a file entitled 64916-702_601.XML, created May 31, 2024, which is 45.4 kilobytes in size. The information in the electronic format of the Sequence Listing is incorporated by reference in its entirety.INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

[0003] All publications, patents, and patent applications mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent, or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND

[0004] Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease in young children and older adults. Nearly all children have been infected by RSV by age 2, and about 60,000 annual in-hospital deaths in children under 5 are caused by this pathogen. The transmission of RSV occurs through aerosolized droplets, and can readily spread through close contact. There are currently no vaccines available for RSV, despite the heavy disease burden, and a single FDA-approved treatment is restricted to passive immunoprophylaxis for high-risk infants because of its high cost and modest efficacy. Due to the high prevalence in sensitive populations and lack of treatment options, there is a need for additional RSV treatments.

[0005] Nucleic acid-based therapeutics hold the potential to treat diseases with a protein target, including RSV, influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and other viral infections. In the majority of gene therapy clinical trials to date, DNA therapeutics have been used. The use of DNA therapeutics, however, confers risks that could be mitigated through alternative nucleic acid based therapeutics, such as RNA therapeutics. In particular, the use of mRNA rather than DNA could mitigate the risk of insertional mutagenesis and also confer the ability to transfect non-dividing cells, such as respiratory epithelial cells, the primary cell type infected by RSV and are slowlydividing or terminally differentiated. In vitro transcribed (IVT)-mRNA can be programmed to express neutralizing antibodies against the viral pathogen, RSV, and has been demonstrated in the lung, albeit using invasive intra-tracheal delivery. Accordingly, the development of an effective delivery system for such therapeutics remains a critical hurdle for clinical adoption of mRNA therapeutics for use in the treatment of respiratory infection.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] A round bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar was charged with biselectrophile (monomer A, 1 equiv.), linker nucleophile(s) (monomer(s) B, 0 - 0.7 total equiv.), branching nucleophile(s) (monomer(s) C, 0 - 0.8 total equiv.), and solvent (1 mL per 50 mg - 1 g of material) under inert gas. The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hr at 23 - 60 °C and then stirred for 48 hr at 60 - 120 °C. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and end cap amine(s) were added (monomer D, 0 - 2 equiv.) and further stirred for 24 hr. The polymer was then purified by dropwise precipitation into cold diethyl ether acidified with glacial acetic acid, and centrifuged at 1200 G for 3 min. The supernatant was discarded and this process wasrepeated until the supernatant was transparent and then the polymer was dried under vacuum.Polymers were stored at -20 °C.Example 1 — Polymer 76

[0050] Polymer 76 was prepared in a 250 mL round-bottomed flask (RB) equipped with a magnetic stir bar and rubber septum was charged with bisphenol a diglycidyl ether diacrylate (9.08 g, 18.7 mmol, 1 equivalent), ethanedithiol (176 mg, 1.87 mmol, 0.1 equiv.) (d=l .12, V= 176 mg / 1.12 =157 pL) 2-morpholinoethan-l -amine (974mg (982 pL), 7.5 mmol, 0.4 equivalent), N1 -methylpropane- 1,3 -diamine (330 mg (391 pL), 3.75 mmol, 0.2equiv.) and DMF (70 mL) under argon. The mixture was stirred at 40 °C for 4 hours and then stirred at 90°C for 48 hours. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and 2-methylpentane-l,5-diamine (3.25 g (3.776 mL), 28 mmol, 1.5 equiv.) was added by syringe and the reaction mixture was stirred for another 24 hours.

[0051] The polymer was then purified by dropwise addition into cold anhydrous diethyl ether (280mL) containing 0.1% glacial acetic acid in a 500 mL RB under vigorous stirring. Once the dropwise addition is completed, the mixture was allowed to settle for 10 minutes. The whitecolored supernatant was discarded and the sedimented sticky polymer was washed further with diethyl ether containing 0.1% glacial acetic acid under stirring for 15 minutes. This washing process was repeated until the ether layer was transparent. The sticky polymers were washed two more times with fresh diethyl ether (pure) (free from glacial acetic acid) and socked in pure diethyl ether for 12h under stirring at room temperature (RT) to completely remove the ether soluble impurities. Ether discarded and dried under vacuum for 48 h. A yellowish-white powder was obtained. Polymers were stored at-20 °C.Example 2 - Polymer 76 Complexes with anti-RSV encoding mRNA

[0052] Various mRNA molecules selected from SEQ ID NOs: 1-6 were formulated with Polymer 76. The mRNA was first diluted to 1 mg / mL in sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0). Polymer 76 was dissolved in the same sodium acetate buffer at 50 mg / mL. An equal volume of mRNA and polymer solution was then combined and incubated for 10 minutes; the final concentration of mRNA and polymer is 0.5 mg / mL and 25 mg / mL, respectively.Example 3- Procedure for Experiments in Figures 2A-2C

Theantibodies were made by transfecting expi293F cells with the antibody coding sequence then treated with phospholipase C (PLC) to release the antibody from the cell.

[0054] Expression of the anchored mAbs was measured by flow cytometry following staining with anti -human Fc-Alexa 647 antibodies. In vitro expression of RSV-neutralizing antibodies with control, lx, 2x, 3x, or 4x linker was measured by flow cytometry following anti-human Fc- Alexa 647 antibody staining (FIG. 2A).
