Abstract
Description
Compositions and compounds for delivery of therapeutic agents Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of medicine and relates to a composition and compound for delivering a therapeutic agent. Background Art
[0002] Nucleic acid-based drugs, such as messenger RNA (mRNA), antisense oligonucleotides, small interfering RNA (siRNA), plasmids, etc., have broad application prospects. How to safely and effectively deliver them to target organs and target cells in the body is a difficult problem that restricts the development of this technology.
[0003] Currently, nucleic acid drug delivery systems can be divided into viral vector systems and non-viral systems. Lipid nanoparticle-mediated nucleic acid drug delivery is the main method of non-viral delivery systems.
[0004] Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have been demonstrated as excellent carriers of nucleic acids for treating various diseases in gene therapy and vaccine applications. Composed of cationic lipids and other auxiliary lipids, such as cholesterol, phospholipids, and PEGylated lipids, LNPs encapsulate nucleic acids, protecting them from degradation, promoting cellular uptake, and reducing immune responses. Furthermore, LNPs offer other advantages for cellular delivery of bioactive ingredients, including good targeting, minimal side effects, excellent stability, and high transfection efficiency.
[0005] Historically, effective LNPs are composed of 4 components: ionizable cationic lipids, zwitterionic phospholipids, cholesterol and lipid poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG). However, these LNPs only result in the general delivery of nucleic acids, rather than the delivery of targeted organs or tissues. LNPs are usually only delivered to the liver by RNA. CN112930198A discloses a new class of LNPs, which add DOTAP (permanent cation) to prepare LNPs on the basis of 5A2-SC8 (ionizable cation), DOPE (zwitterionic), cholesterol, and DMG-PEG to achieve spleen and lung targeting. This application proves that DOTAP has specificity, and replacing DOTAP with other lipids cannot achieve corresponding effects.
[0006] The rapid development of the therapeutic field based on nucleic acid molecules has put forward greater demands on the delivery of nucleic acid drugs, and therefore it is necessary to develop efficient and safe nucleic acid delivery vectors.
[0007] Currently, the lipid compositions for delivering nucleic acid drugs that are clinically available can basically only target liver tissue or be administered locally. Therefore, the development of new nucleic acid drug delivery vectors that can achieve targeted delivery to other organs is of great significance to expanding the application of nucleic acid drugs.

Six hours after administration, each mouse was intraperitoneally injected with luciferase substrate, and the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney were dissected and taken using an IVIS small animal optical in vivo imaging instrument (PerkinElme). Fluorescence images were taken of the tissues and the fluorescence intensity of each tissue was counted. The level of fluorescence intensity represents the level of expression of luciferase protein, which reflects the efficiency of the lipid nanoparticle composition in delivering mRNA in vivo and its distribution in different organs and tissues. The average fluorescence intensity was calculated for at least three biological replicates of the lipid nanoparticles corresponding to each compound. The data are shown in Table 3 and Figure 1. The fluorescence intensity in Figure 1 is the fluorescence intensity corresponding to each tissue of the mouse captured and counted by the IVIS small animal optical in vivo imaging instrument. The fluorescence intensity represents the expression level of luciferase protein, which indicates the efficiency of mRNA delivery and tissue distribution of the lipid nanoparticle composition in vivo.
[0349] Using LNP-4 and LNP-8 as controls, the mRNA delivery efficiency and tissue distribution of lipid nanoparticle compositions corresponding to the composition LNP-1 containing compound I-1, the composition LNP-2 containing compound I-1 and compound II-1, and LNP-3 were detected after tail vein injection in mice.
[0350] Table 3
[0351] Table 4
[0352] Conclusion: As shown in Table 3 and Figure 1, the fluorescence intensity of the lipid nanoparticle composition LNP1-3 composed of Compound I-1 was the highest in the lungs, indicating the highest expression of luciferase protein in the lungs. Unlike traditional lipid nanoparticle compositions, such as the clinically available siRNA lipid nanoparticles that deliver siRNA to the liver, lipid nanoparticle compositions containing Compound I-1 deliver more nucleic acid drugs to the lungs. Furthermore, the protein expression in the lungs of the lipid nanoparticle composition LNP-3 composed of Compound I-1 was approximately 10 times that of the lipid nanoparticle composition LNP-4 composed of DOTAP.
[0353] As shown in Table 4 and Figure 2, the proportion of fluorescence intensity, which represents the proportion of protein expression in various organ tissues, shows that the proportion of lipid nanoparticle compositions LNP1-3 composed of compound I-1 in the lungs is higher than that in the liver and spleen, of which LNP-3 accounts for more than 90% in the lungs. The lipid nanoparticle composition LNP-3 containing compound I-1 has a higher proportion of protein expression in the lungs than the lipid nanoparticle composition LNP-4 composed of DOTAP. The lipid nanoparticle composition LNP-8 corresponding to compound II-1 is mainly distributed in the liver, with a distribution in the lungs of less than 1%.
[0354] Test Example 2: Evaluation of mRNA delivery efficiency and tissue distribution of lipid nanoparticle compositions via intratracheal administration
[0355] 6-8 week old female C57 BL / 6 mice (purchased from Shanghai South Model Organisms Science Co., Ltd.) were intratracheally administered with a lipid nanoparticle composition encapsulating mRNA expressing luciferase at a dose of 0.25 mg / kg. Six hours after administration, each mouse was intraperitoneally injected with luciferase substrate. The heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney were dissected and the tissues were imaged using an IVIS small animal optical in vivo imaging instrument (PerkinElme). Fluorescence images were taken of the tissues and the fluorescence intensity of each tissue was calculated. The fluorescence intensity represents the expression level of luciferase protein, reflecting the efficiency of the lipid nanoparticle composition in delivering mRNA in vivo and its distribution in different organs and tissues. The average fluorescence intensity was calculated for at least three biological replicates of the lipid nanoparticle composition corresponding to each compound, and the data are shown in Table 5. The percentage of the average fluorescence intensity of each group to the total fluorescence intensity was calculated to assess the tissue distribution of the protein expression of the lipid nanoparticle composition, as shown in Table 6. The fluorescence intensity in Figure 3 is the fluorescence intensity corresponding to each tissue of the mouse captured and counted by the IVIS small animal optical in vivo imaging instrument. The fluorescence intensity represents the expression level of luciferase protein, which indicates the efficiency of mRNA delivery and tissue distribution of the lipid nanoparticle composition in vivo.
[0356] Using a lipid nanoparticle composition containing DOTAP (LNP-4) as a control, the protein expression and tissue distribution of lipid nanoparticle compositions LNP-1 and LNP-2 containing compound I-1 were detected in the mouse respiratory tract under administration conditions.
[0357] Table 5
[0358] Table 6
[0359] Conclusion: As shown in Table 5 and Figure 3, the fluorescence intensity of lipid nanoparticle compositions composed of Compound I-1, LNP-1 and LNP-3, was the highest in the lungs, indicating the highest expression of luciferase protein in the lungs. Furthermore, the protein expression in the lungs of the lipid nanoparticle composition composed of Compound I-1, LNP-1, was approximately 32 times that of the lipid nanoparticle composition composed of DOTAP, LNP-4.
[0360] As shown in Table 6 and Figure 4, the fluorescence intensity ratio represents the ratio of protein expression in various organs and tissues. The lipid nanoparticle compositions LNP-1 and LNP-3 composed of compound I-1 have a higher ratio in the lungs than in the liver and spleen, of which LNP-1 has a ratio in the lungs exceeding 90%. The lipid nanoparticle compositions LNP-1 and LNP-3 containing compound I-1 have a higher ratio of protein expression in the lungs than the lipid nanoparticle composition LNP-4 composed of DOTAP. The fluorescence intensity and fluorescence intensity ratio of LNP-1 in the lungs are higher than those of LNP-8. The fluorescence intensity of LNP-8 in the liver is much higher than that of LNP-1 and LNP-3. This indicates that compound I-1 has greater lung expression among the LNP components and has better targeting.
[0361] Test Example 3: Evaluation of the in vivo safety of lipid nanoparticle compositions
[0362] Foreign substances entering the mammalian body trigger an innate immune response, thereby promoting the production of cytokines. These substances, upon entry, trigger an inflammatory response, which can easily lead to adverse reactions such as fever and edema. Therefore, the immunogenicity of lipid nanoparticle compositions in vivo was assessed by evaluating the concentration of cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), in the blood of mice after injection with the lipid nanoparticle compositions. Lower cytokine concentrations indicate that the lipid nanoparticle compositions have lower immunogenicity and, therefore, better biosafety.
[0363] 6-8 week old BALB / c female mice (purchased from Shanghai Model Organisms Science Co., Ltd.) were injected via the tail vein at a dose of 0.5 mg / kg with lipid nanoparticle compositions encapsulating mRNA expressing a luciferase reporter gene. Six hours later, blood was collected for serum isolation. Serum IL-6 concentrations were measured using a mouse IL-6 ELISA kit. Serum IL-6 concentrations were measured in at least three biological replicates for each lipid nanoparticle composition, and the mean value was calculated.
[0364] Table 7
[0365] Conclusion: As shown in Table 7 and Figure 5, the IL-6 concentration in mouse serum of the LNP-3 lipid nanoparticle composition was significantly lower than that of the control lipid nanoparticle composition LNP-4. This indicates that the lipid nanoparticle composition containing compound I-1 has lower immunogenicity and better biosafety in vivo than the lipid nanoparticle composition corresponding to the control compound DOTAP.
[0366] 6-8 week old female BALB / c mice were intratracheally injected with lipid nanoparticle compositions containing mRNA expressing a luciferase reporter gene at a dose of 0.25 mg / kg. Blood was collected 6 hours later for serum isolation. Serum IL-6 concentrations were measured using a mouse IL-6 ELISA kit. Serum IL-6 concentrations were measured in at least three biological replicates for each lipid nanoparticle composition, and the mean value was calculated.
[0367] Table 8
[0368] Conclusion: As shown in Table 8 and Figure 6, the IL-6 concentration in mouse serum of the LNP-1 lipid nanoparticle composition was significantly lower than that of the control lipid nanoparticle composition LNP-4. This indicates that the lipid nanoparticle composition containing compound I-1 has lower immunogenicity and better biosafety in vivo than the lipid nanoparticle composition corresponding to the control compound DOTAP.
[0369] Test Example 4: Evaluation of Characterization Parameters of Lipid Nanoparticle Compositions after Nebulization
[0370] Select LNP-1 and LNP-8 to do example, collect after vibrating mesh nebulizer (Aerogen-Solo) atomization, detect the encapsulation efficiency of lipid nanoparticle composition, results such as Table 8 and Fig. 7.After atomizer atomization, LNP-8, i.e. the lipid nanoparticle composition corresponding to compound II-1, is affected by atomization shear force, and structure is destroyed, and encapsulation efficiency significantly decreases. And LNP-1, LNP-9 and LNP-10 can tolerate the influence of atomization shear force, and encapsulation efficiency remains consistent before and after atomization. Therefore, the lipid nanoparticle composition corresponding to compound I-1, compound I-8 and compound I-10 can be applicable to atomization inhalation and is used for pulmonary drug delivery.

[0372] Test Example 5: Evaluation of mRNA protein expression in intratracheal delivery of lipid nanoparticle compositions
[0373] According to the preparation and detection methods of Example 6, lipid nanoparticle compositions were mixed and formulated with the molar percentages in Table 10 and characterized. The prepared lipid nanoparticles are shown in Tables 10 and 11.
[0374] Female C57 BL / 6 mice aged 6-8 weeks (purchased from Shanghai Southern Model Organisms Science Co., Ltd.) were intratracheally administered with a lipid nanoparticle composition encapsulating human hepatocyte growth factor (NCBI: NM_000601.6) at a dose of 0.5 mg / kg. 24 hours after administration, the mice were dissected and the lungs were removed to detect the protein expression of stem cell growth factor. The average protein expression was calculated for at least 3 biological replicates per group of lipid nanoparticle compositions. The relative protein expression of LNPs 11-17 was calculated, with the average protein expression of LNP-11 as the unit of 1. Taking LNP-12 as an example, the relative protein expression of LNP-12 = LNP-12 protein expression / LNP-11 protein expression.

[0376] Table 11
[0377] Table 12
[0378] As shown in Table 12 and Figure 8, the protein expression levels of the lipid nanoparticle compositions containing compound I-1 were higher than those of the lipid nanoparticle compositions corresponding to compound II-1. Among them, the protein expression levels of the lipid nanoparticle compositions corresponding to LNP-12 and LNP-15 were the highest.
[0379] Test Example 6: Evaluation of mRNA delivery efficiency and tissue distribution of lipid nanoparticle compositions via tail vein injection in vivo
[0380] 6-8 week old female C57 BL / 6 mice (purchased from Shanghai Southern Model Organisms Science Co., Ltd.) were injected with a lipid nanoparticle composition encapsulating mRNA expressing luciferase (Luciferase, GenBank: MN728548.1) via the tail vein at a dose of 0.5 mg / kg. 6 hours after administration, each mouse was intraperitoneally injected with luciferase substrate (D-luciferin potassium salt abs42075819), and the lungs and livers of the mice were dissected. Fluorescence images were taken of the tissues using an IVIS small animal optical in vivo imaging instrument (PerkinElme), and the fluorescence intensity of each tissue was counted. The level of fluorescence intensity represents the level of luciferase protein expression, which reflects the efficiency of the lipid nanoparticle composition in delivering mRNA in vivo and its distribution in different organs and tissues. The average fluorescence intensity was calculated for at least 3 biological replicates of the lipid nanoparticles corresponding to each compound. The data are shown in Table 13 and Figure 9. The fluorescence intensity in Figure 9 is the fluorescence intensity corresponding to each tissue of the mouse captured and counted by the IVIS small animal optical in vivo imaging instrument. The fluorescence intensity represents the expression level of luciferase protein, which indicates the efficiency of mRNA delivery and tissue distribution of the lipid nanoparticle composition in vivo.
[0381] Using LNP-4 as a control, the mRNA delivery efficiency and tissue distribution of lipid nanoparticle compositions corresponding to the composition LNP-3 containing compound I-1 and compound II-1, the composition LNP-9 containing compound I-8 and compound II-1, and the composition LNP-10 containing compound I-10 and compound II-1 were detected after tail vein injection in mice.
[0382] Table 13
[0383] Conclusion: As shown in Table 13 and Figure 9, the fluorescence intensity of the lipid nanoparticle composition LNP-3 composed of compound I-1 has the highest fluorescence intensity in the lungs, that is, the expression of luciferase protein in the lungs is the highest, which is better than LNP-4, LNP-9 and LNP-10. The fluorescence intensity of the lung is divided by the fluorescence intensity of the liver to obtain the lung / liver ratio of tissue distribution. Among them, LNP-3 has the highest expression, followed by LNP-9, which is better than LNP-4 and LNP-10. That is, LNP containing compound I-1 and compound I-8 has higher expression in the lungs.
