AI Technical Summary
The existing cationic lipids containing disulfide bonds are insufficiently broken in the endosomal environment, resulting in low efficiency of nucleic acid drug delivery.
A structure was designed to contain two cationic lipid fragments with polar heads and hydrophobic tails, and a degradable fragment containing disulfide bonds and other degradable divalent linkers. After the disulfide bond in the cell is broken, this structure forms more basic structural units of cationic lipids, enhancing the destabilization ability of LNP and drug release efficiency.
By improving the degradability of cationic lipids, the destabilization of LNP in cells is promoted, and the delivery efficiency and efficacy of nucleic acid drugs are significantly improved.

Abstract
Description
A degradable cationic lipid containing disulfide bonds and its application Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of drug delivery, and specifically relates to a pharmaceutical carrier cationic lipid, and in particular to a degradable cationic lipid containing a disulfide bond, as well as a lipid composition comprising the cationic lipid, a lipid pharmaceutical composition, and preparations and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are one of the most popular delivery technologies today. The lipid formulation of LNPs can be composed of a variety of lipids including cationic lipids, amphoteric lipids, neutral lipids, steroid lipids, and PEGylated lipids. As a key component in LNP-nucleic acid drug composition preparations, cationic lipids can be complexed with negatively charged nucleic acid drugs through electrostatic interactions. Cationic lipids include cationizable lipids and permanent cationic lipids, among which cationizable lipids can be electrically neutral under physiological conditions, avoiding excessive interference with biological membranes in systemic circulation, and have milder toxicity than permanent cations. After LNPs are taken up by cells, cationizable lipids are converted into positively charged molecules under the acidic conditions of the endosome cavity, increasing their membrane permeability and promoting the endosomal escape of lipid drug compositions. At the same time, the reorganization of the lipid component structure is also conducive to the release of drug molecules from LNPs, thereby improving drug efficacy.
[0003] The specific structure of cationic lipids has an important impact on the nucleic acid drug delivery efficiency of LNP. Whether LNP can fully release drugs in cells is one of the key factors affecting delivery efficiency. The concentration of glutathione (GSH) in cells is significantly higher than that outside cells, which is also one of the main factors causing the reducing environment in cells. In this regard, some existing technologies use disulfide bonds to connect two lipid parts together, and use the cleavage of disulfide bonds in the reducing environment inside cells to achieve destabilization of the LNP structure, thereby promoting the release of encapsulated substances. Cationic lipids with these characteristics disclosed in CN107406396A and CN103930398A improve the expression efficiency of nucleic acid drugs in cells. However, for cationic lipids containing disulfide bonds, the reduction sensitivity of their disulfide bonds may not be fully utilized in actual use. This is because, compared with the cytoplasm containing high concentrations of GSH, the GSH concentration in the endosomal environment is lower and the reducing conditions are poor, resulting in the disulfide bonds not necessarily being able to be effectively broken in the endosome.
[0004] Therefore, when conventional cationic lipids containing disulfide bonds are used for the delivery of nucleic acid drugs, their efficiency is not completely satisfactory. To solve this problem, some substantial improvements need to be made to cationic lipids containing disulfide bonds. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a novel disulfide bond-containing cationic lipid, as well as a lipid composition, a lipid pharmaceutical composition and a preparation thereof containing the cationic lipid, for use in the field of drug delivery.
[0006] The above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A cationic lipid containing a disulfide bond, characterized in that the structure is as shown in the general formula (1):
[0008] or a salt, tautomer, stereoisomer, isotope-substituted product or solvate thereof;
[0009] Among them, -SS- is a disulfide bond;
[0010] L1 and L2 are each independently -(CH2) t -L d -(CH2) t -or-(CH2) t -L d -(CH2) t -L d -(CH2) t -, wherein each t is independently an integer from 1 to 4;
[0011] L d is a degradable divalent linking group. Any two L d have the same or different structures;
[0012] X1 and X2 are independently Among them, R d2 、R d3 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted C 1-6 Alkyl, and R d2 、R d3 The number of is independently 1, 2, 3 or 4; s is 1, 2 or 3; n is 1 or 2;
[0013] G1 and G2 are each independently a connecting bond or a trivalent branching group;
[0014] When G1 is a connecting bond, k1 is 1; when G1 is a trivalent branching group, k1 is 2;
[0015] When G2 is a connecting bond, k1 is 1; when G2 is a trivalent branching group, k2 is 2;
[0016] L3, L4 each occur independently selected from a linker, -(CH2) q -, Z, P0, and any combination thereof, wherein q is an integer of 1-10, Z is a divalent linking group containing a heteroatom, and P0 is p is independently 0 or 1 each time it occurs;
[0017] R1 and R2 are each independently an optionally substituted C 5-30 Hydrocarbon or C 5-30 Hydrocarbon derivative residues.
[0018] The present invention also provides another embodiment:
[0019] A lipid composition comprises a disulfide bond-containing cationic lipid having a structure as shown in formula (1).
[0020] The present invention also provides another embodiment:
[0021] A lipid pharmaceutical composition comprises a lipid composition and a drug, wherein the lipid composition comprises a disulfide bond-containing cationic lipid having a structure as shown in formula (1).
[0022] The present invention also provides another embodiment:
[0023] A lipid pharmaceutical composition preparation contains the aforementioned lipid pharmaceutical composition and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or excipient.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] Cationic lipid structure of the present invention can be considered as being made up of the following parts by covalent bonding: two cationic lipid fragments each having a polar head (tertiary amine group) and a hydrophobic tail (hydrocarbon chain), and a degradable segment connecting the aforementioned two segments. In particular, the degradable segment contains a disulfide bond and other degradable divalent linking groups. After the disulfide bond breaks in the cell, an original cationic lipid molecule can form two products that still possess the basic structure of cationic lipids. When the LNP structure destabilizes, the destructive ability of the cationic lipid polar head to the endosomal membrane structure is retained, so that the loaded drug can be effectively released into the cytoplasm. Other degradable divalent linking groups in the degradable segment, including but not limited to ester groups, urea groups, thiourea groups, carbamate groups, carbonate groups, oligopeptide linking groups, etc., can significantly improve the degradable ability of cationic lipids, prevent the accumulation of LNP in the endosome and hinder the endosomal escape of the drug, and significantly improve the drug effect of the LNP-nucleic acid pharmaceutical composition preparation. In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of degradable groups is also increased in the portion between the tertiary amine group and the aliphatic hydrocarbon chain, which further improves the intracellular degradability of LNP to a certain extent.
[0026] The lipid composition prepared using the cationic lipid of the present invention, while having good nucleic acid drug complexing ability, systemic circulation stability and low toxicity, can enable the LNP-nucleic acid drug composition preparation to more fully exert its efficacy and improve the immune or therapeutic effect.

[0036] Implementation Method
[0037] 1. Terminology
[0038] Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly used in the art to which the claimed subject matter belongs. If there are multiple definitions for a term, the definition herein shall prevail.
[0039] Unless otherwise stated, the terms "include," "including," and "containing" and similar expressions should be interpreted in an open and inclusive sense as "including but not limited to" or "including, without limitation."
[0040] “Including but not limited to” a certain range means that items within the range are optional, but the optional items are not limited to the range.
[0041] "Independently" can be used not only to describe objects with different names, but also to describe objects with the same name that appear in different locations. For example, "in-NR c C(=O)O- and -NR c C(=O)NR c -Middle, R c Each occurrence is independently a hydrogen atom or C 1-12 Alkyl" This description indicates that in "-NR c C(=O)NR c -" in the middle, two R c The groups may be the same or different (e.g., one R c is a methyl group, and another R c is a hydrogen atom or an ethyl group), and "-NR c C(=O)NR c -" c Can be used with "-NR c R in "C(=O)O-" c Same or different.
[0042] When at least two items are listed, a "combination" of the listed items refers to a combination of any two or more of the listed items, or a combination of any two or more of the same item. The number of any item in the combination may be one or more, and the specific forms of multiple items of the same name may be the same or different. A combination of linkers is considered to be a new linker formed by the linkers being linked together. The combination of a linker and any linker still represents the linker itself. For example, the description “L is any one of a connecting bond, an alkylene group, -O-, -S-, -C(=O)-, -NH- and a combination thereof” indicates that L can be any one of the listed items, or a combination of any two or more thereof, and the combination can be -CH2-O-CH2- (i.e., a combination of -O- and an alkylene group in the listed items, wherein the specific form of the alkylene group is 2 methylene groups), -CH2-NH-CH2CH2- (i.e., a combination of -NH- and an alkylene group in the listed items, wherein the specific form of the alkylene group is 1 methylene group and 1 ethylene group), -SS- (a combination of 2 -S-), -C(=O)NH- (a combination of 1 -C(=O)- and 1 -NH-), and the like.
[0043] A "connecting bond" does not contain any atoms and only serves as a connection. It can be represented by a dash (such as the "-" at both ends of -C(=O)NH-), or by a Marking (such as In particular, when the definition of a group includes a "bond", it means that the group may not exist and the position where the group is located is occupied by a bond.
[0044] The group may be monovalent, divalent, or polyvalent, where "polyvalent" means a valence of at least 3.
[0045] Groups with a valence greater than or equal to 2 are collectively referred to as "linking groups" and contain at least one atom by default. Linking groups containing only one atom include, but are not limited to, ether groups (-O-), thioether groups (-S-), and the like. The "group" in a divalent linking group can be replaced by "bond" without changing its meaning. For example, a divalent ether group can also be referred to as an ether bond (-O-), a divalent ester group can also be referred to as an ester bond (-OC(=O)- or -C(=O)O-), and a divalent carbamate group can also be referred to as a carbamate bond (-OC(=O)NH- or -NHC(=O)O-). Unless otherwise specified, there is no particular restriction on the connection end of the linking group used to connect other groups. For example, when -C(=O)NH- is used as a divalent linking group between group A and group B, either connection end (left or right end) of -C(=O)NH- can be used to connect A or B, i.e., both AC(=O)NH-B and A-NHC(=O)-B are optional.
[0046] For the connecting bond introduced from the cyclic structure, when it is not marked on a specific ring atom but points to the inside of the ring, it means that the connecting bond can be introduced from any suitable ring atom, and when the marked ring is part of a fused ring structure, the connecting bond can be introduced from any suitable ring atom in the fused ring structure. For the connecting bond and the group introduced by the connecting bond expressed in this way, the number can be one or more, and if there is no special explanation, it is assumed to be one. represents a structure containing any suitable chemical linkage (including but not limited to etc.)
[0047] The "any suitable" in "any suitable linking group", "any suitable reactive group", "any suitable chemical connection method", etc. refers to the basic principles of chemical structure. Chemical structures described in this way are considered to have a clear and definite scope.
[0048] Numerical intervals can be represented by dashes, wavy lines, or "to / to", such as the three intervals of 1-6, 1~6, and 1 to / to 6, all of which represent a group consisting of all numerical values between 1 and 6. Unless otherwise specified, the numerical values include but are not limited to integers, non-integers, percentages, fractions, etc., and the interval includes two endpoints. Unless otherwise specified, the average number includes integers and non-integers by default. For example, "the average number of EO units is selected from 22 to 100" means that the integer 22 and the non-integer 22.2 are both optional values for the average number of EO units. For another example, "an integer in 1-3" means a group consisting of 1, 2, and 3. Unless otherwise specified, the numerical interval representing the number of groups is composed of integers by default, such as -(CH2) 1-4 - represents a group consisting of -CH2-, -(CH2)2-, -(CH2)3-, -(CH2)4-, and express The group composed of.
[0049] For percentages, when the value is given to the Nth decimal place (excluding the percentage sign), "approximately" or "around" generally refers to the basic value ± (0.5*0.1 N )%. For example, "about 1%" is accurate to the 0th decimal place (excluding the percentage sign), and the default value is 1±(0.5*0.1 0 )%, i.e., the range of 0.5%-1.5%; "about 2.2%" is accurate to the first decimal place (excluding the percentage sign), and the default value is 2.2±(0.5*0.1 1 )%, that is, the range of 2.15%-2.25%.
[0050] The numerical ranges marked at the C subscript position may represent the number of carbon atoms in the group, and unless otherwise specified, the carbon number does not include the contribution of substituents. For example, C 1-12 means "having 1 to 12 carbon atoms". For example, C 1-10 Alkylene represents any alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, i.e. C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C 10 Any of alkylene, including but not limited to linear C 1-10 Alkylene (e.g. -(CH2)6-) and branched C 1-10 Alkylene (e.g. -(CH2)3-CH(CH3)-(CH2)3-). Another example is "substituted C 1-3 "Alkyl" refers to a C1, C2 or C3 alkyl group containing at least one substituent, such as -CH2Cl, -CH2CH2OH, -CH2CH(OCH3)CH3, which are respectively methyl substituted by -Cl, ethyl substituted by -OH, and propyl substituted by -OCH3; the number of carbon atoms and heteroatoms in the substituent is not particularly limited.
[0051] Unless otherwise specified, stereoisomers of any structure are deemed to be disclosed together, including but not limited to cis / trans isomers, E- / Z-isomers, levorotatory / dextrorotatory isomers, etc. For example, for a compound having cis-trans isomers, even if only the structure of its cis isomer is provided, its trans isomer should also be considered to be provided simultaneously, and vice versa.
[0052] Unless otherwise specified, the unit of measurement for molecular weight is Dalton (Da). The molecular weight of a polymer is by default the average molecular weight, and is generally referred to as the number-average molecular weight (M n ).
[0053] The "stability" and "degradability" of a group are relative concepts.
[0054] A "degradable" linker can break a chemical bond to form two parts that are not directly connected. If the structure of the linker is changed after chemical changes, but it is still a complete linker, then the linker is still classified as "stable". The conditions used to examine the degradability of the linker are not particularly limited, and can be in vivo physiological conditions, in vitro simulated physiological conditions or other conditions, preferably in vivo physiological conditions or in vitro simulated physiological conditions. The physiological conditions are not particularly limited, and include but are not limited to serum, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, bone, muscle, fat, brain, lymph nodes, small intestine, gonads and other parts. They can refer to physiological conditions in cells or extracellular matrix, and can also refer to physiological conditions in normal physiological tissues or pathological physiological tissues (such as tumors, inflammation, etc.). The in vitro simulated physiological conditions are not particularly limited, and include but are not limited to physiological saline, buffer, culture medium, etc. There is no special restriction on the speed of "degradation", for example, rapid degradation under the action of enzymes, slow hydrolysis under physiological conditions, etc. In vivo physiological conditions include physiological conditions during treatment, such as ultraviolet irradiation, heat therapy, etc. Conditions used to investigate the degradability of the linker include, but are not limited to, light, heat, low temperature, enzymes, redox, acidity, alkalinity, physiological conditions, and in vitro simulated physiological conditions, preferably light, heat, enzymes, redox, acidity, alkalinity, and the like. The light conditions include, but are not limited to, visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared light, near-infrared light, mid-infrared light, and the like. The heat conditions refer to temperatures above normal physiological temperatures, typically above 37°C, and typically below 45°C, preferably below 42°C. The low temperature conditions refer to temperatures below human physiological temperature, preferably below 25°C, more preferably ≤10°C, such as refrigeration temperature, freezing temperature, liquid nitrogen treatment temperature, 2-10°C, 4-8°C, 4°C, 0°C, and -20±5°C. The enzymes are not particularly limited, and all enzymes that can be produced under physiological conditions are included, such as peptidases, proteases, and lyases. The redox conditions are not particularly limited, such as redox transitions and hydrogenation-reduction transitions between sulfhydryl groups and disulfide bonds. The acidic and alkaline conditions mentioned above mainly refer to the pH conditions of normal tissues, diseased tissues, organs or tissues in the treatment period, etc. For example, the stomach is acidic, and tumor sites are often acidic. Degradation can occur through metabolic effects in the body (such as physiological effects, such as enzymatic reactions, redox reactions), can occur in specific parts of the body due to microenvironmental stimulation (such as acidity and alkalinity), or can occur under clinical treatment stimulation (such as light, heat, low temperature), etc. It should be noted that some extreme conditions in organic chemistry relative to organisms, such as strong acids, strong bases, high temperatures (such as above 100°C), etc., are not included in the category of "degradation" under these conditions; for example, although ether bonds can be broken under strong acid conditions such as hydrobromic acid, they should be considered stable linking groups.
[0055] A "stable" linker can remain as a complete linker (stably covalently linked to its adjacent groups), allowing chemical changes that do not destroy the integrity of the linker to occur. The chemical changes are not particularly limited, and include but are not limited to isomerization, oxidation, reduction, ionization, protonation, deprotonation, substitution reactions, and the like. The conditions used to examine the stability of the linker are not particularly limited, and include but are not limited to light, heat, low temperature, enzymes, redox, neutral, acidic, alkaline, physiological conditions, in vitro simulated physiological conditions, and the like, preferably light, heat, enzymes, redox, acidic, alkaline, and the like. The stable existence of a linker refers to the fact that the linker can maintain its structural integrity and be stably connected to other parts in its use environment (such as the metabolic cycle in the body) without special stimulation (such as the pH conditions of a special part, light, heat, low temperature during treatment, etc.).
[0056] Linkers are not necessarily "stable" or "degradable." Their stability or degradability is influenced by the compound's structure and the specific environment in which they are used. For example, amide bonds are much more stable than ester bonds under acidic or alkaline conditions, and therefore are considered "stable" linkers. However, peptide bonds, formed by the dehydration condensation of the α-carboxyl group of an amino acid and the α-amino group of another amino acid, can be cleaved when exposed to specific enzymes and are therefore also considered "degradable" linkers. Carbamate and thiocarbamate groups can be both stable and degradable linkers; more generally, carbamate and thiocarbamate groups tend to degrade slowly, while non-peptide amide bonds can remain stable during circulation. For example, while common ester bonds can degrade under acidic and alkaline conditions, ester bonds in specialized structures can also degrade under ultraviolet light. For example, even if certain chemical bonds can be degraded under the action of specific enzymes, if their circulation pathway during clinical use does not pass through or basically does not pass through the specific enzyme environment (such as in the case of targeted drug administration), these chemical bonds can still be considered to be stable.
[0057] All compounds of the general formula should be understood to include their salts. The term "salt" is selected from any one, any two, or any combination of two or more of the acid addition salts formed by the corresponding compound with inorganic and / or organic acids and the base addition salts formed with inorganic and / or organic bases. When the compound of the general formula contains a basic moiety (such as, but not limited to, pyridine or imidazole) and an acidic moiety (such as, but not limited to, carboxylic acid), zwitterions ("inner salts") can be formed and are included in the term "salt" used. "Salt" can be a pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salt or other salt. Salts of compounds of the general formula can be formed by reacting the compound of the general formula with a certain amount (such as an equivalent amount) of an acid or base in a medium such as a salt precipitate or in an aqueous medium and then lyophilizing. Exemplary acid addition salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, citrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oxalate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, salicylate, succinate, sulfate, sulfonate, tartrate, thiocyanate, toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, and the like. Exemplary base addition salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts (such as sodium salts, lithium salts and potassium salts), alkaline earth metal salts (such as calcium salts and magnesium salts), salts with organic bases (such as organic amines) and salts with amino acids (such as arginine or lysine). Basic nitrogen-containing groups can be quaternized with reagents such as lower alkyl halides (such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), dialkyl sulfates (such as dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl and diamyl sulfates), long chain halides (such as decyl, lauryl, tetradecyl and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), arylalkyl halides (such as benzyl and phenethyl bromides) and others. Both the acid addition salts and the base addition salts are preferably pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0058] A "solvate" of a compound of the general formula refers to an aggregate comprising one or more molecules of the compound of the general formula and one or more solvent molecules. The solvent may be water, and the corresponding solvate may be referred to as a hydrate, including monohydrates, dihydrates, hemihydrates, sesquihydrates, trihydrates, tetrahydrates, and the like. The solvent may also be an organic solvent.
[0059] "Tautomers" refer to isomers of a compound that undergo tautomerism. Tautomerism refers to the process by which hydrogen atoms or protons shift within a molecule, causing a change in the compound's structure, often involving the conversion of single bonds to double bonds. Tautomerism includes, but is not limited to, keto-enol tautomerism, amide-imidic acid tautomerism, lactam-lactim tautomerism, enamine-imine tautomerism, enamine-enamine tautomerism (e.g., enzyme reactions catalyzed by pyridoxal phosphate), proton transfer tautomerism, and valence tautomerism.
[0060] "Stereoisomers" are isomers that have the same atomic bonding order but different three-dimensional structures. Stereoisomers can be divided into enantiomers and diastereomers, with diastereomers further comprising cis-trans isomers and conformers. Enantiomers are molecules that are mirror images of each other and cannot be superimposed.
[0061] "Isotopically substituted" refers to a derivative form of a compound in which one or more atoms in the molecule are replaced by their respective isotopes.
[0062] The heteroatom is not particularly limited and includes, but is not limited to, O, S, N, P, Si, F, Cl, Br, I, B, and the like.
[0063] When a group or compound is "containing a heteroatom", the position of the heteroatom is not particularly limited, including but not limited to the case where the heteroatom is located in the main chain, side chain and / or substituent.
[0064] Relative to a compound, a group formed after losing some atoms or groups is also called a residue.
[0065] When a molecular structure (including compounds, groups, fragments, etc.) is "substituted," it means that the molecular structure contains one or more substituents. A "substituted" structure is also referred to as a "substituted form," as opposed to an "unsubstituted" structure. Unless otherwise specified, a "substituent" can be a monoatomic or polyatomic group, excluding hydrogen atoms, and replaces an existing hydrogen atom in the molecular structure. For substituted hydrocarbon and heteroalkyl groups (including but not limited to alkyl, heteroalkyl, etc.), the substituents include but are not limited to =O, -OR", =NR", =N-OR", -NR"R", -SR", -F, -Cl, -Br, -I, -SiR"R"R", -C(=O)R", -OC(=O)R", -C(=O)OR", -OC(=O)OR", -C(=O)NR"R", -OC(=O)NR"R", -NR"C(=O)R", -NR"C(=O)NR"R", -NR"C(=O)OR", -CN, -NO2, etc.; wherein each R" is independently hydrogen or C containing 0-3 heteroatoms 1-10Alkyl; any two R" can optionally form a ring structure with the nitrogen atom to which they are commonly attached; for example, -NR"R" includes but is not limited to 1-pyrrolidinyl and 4-morpholinyl.
[0066] "Optionally substituted" means that the group or compound being described may be substituted or unsubstituted.
[0067] "Amino" and "amine" include monovalent, divalent, trivalent, tetravalent neutral or cationic forms. "Amino" includes primary amino (-NH2), secondary amino (-NH-), tertiary amino (-N<) and quaternary amino (>N + Amine compounds refer to NH3 substituted with hydrocarbons, including primary amines (single hydrocarbon substitution, such as CH3NH2), secondary amines (double hydrocarbon substitution, such as NH(CH3)2), tertiary amines (trihydrocarbon substitution, such as N(CH3)3) and quaternary amines (tetrahydrocarbon substitution, such as N + (CH3)3). The group formed by the loss of one or more hydrogen atoms from an amine compound is collectively referred to as an "amine group." The hydrogen atoms can be amino, hydrocarbon, or other groups. Cationic amino or amine groups are also called quaternary ammonium groups.
[0068] The term "amide" refers to an amide of the general formula R p -C(=O)-N(R q )2, wherein R p is an organic group, each R q are independently H or an organic group, and R p or R q When it is an organic group, its carbon atom is connected to (C=O) or N in the general formula. q Amides can be divided into primary amides, secondary amides and tertiary amides according to their q All are H, one R of the secondary amide q is H and the other R q For organic groups, the two R q They are all organic groups. Secondary amides are also called N-substituted amides, and tertiary amides are also called N,N-disubstituted amides.
[0069] The term "amide group" refers to a monovalent, divalent, or trivalent group formed by the loss of some atoms or groups from an amide. For example, -C(=O)NH- is a divalent amide group, and -C(=O)N< is a trivalent amide group. Unless otherwise specified, "amide bond" refers to -C(=O)NH-.
[0070] "Acylamide" refers to a group formed by linking an acyl group to an amine group, including primary amide groups (e.g., -C(=O)NH-) and secondary amide groups (e.g., -C(=O)N<). The acyl group can be a carbonyl group, a sulfonyl group, or a phosphoryl group, with carbonyl being the default.
[0071] "Hydrocarbons" refer to compounds composed of the elements carbon and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons that do not contain benzene rings or other aromatic rings are collectively referred to as "aliphatic hydrocarbons," while hydrocarbons that do contain benzene rings or other aromatic rings are collectively referred to as "aromatic hydrocarbons." Aliphatic hydrocarbons can be divided into open-chain hydrocarbons and alicyclic hydrocarbons, with open-chain hydrocarbons further divided into straight-chain hydrocarbons and branched-chain hydrocarbons. Based on the degree of unsaturation, aliphatic hydrocarbons can be divided into saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, which can be further divided into alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Alkenes contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond, and alkynes contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond.
[0072] "Hydrocarbyl" refers to a hydrocarbon radical formed by the loss of at least one hydrogen atom and may be monovalent, divalent, trivalent, tetravalent, or higher. Unless otherwise specified, a hydrocarbyl radical is assumed to be a monovalent hydrocarbyl radical.

[0363] Example 11: Preparation of LNP-mRNA Pharmaceutical Composition
[0364] In this example, an LNP-mRNA pharmaceutical composition containing Fluc-mRNA (LNP / Fluc-mRNA) was prepared. The phospholipids contained in the composition were all DSPC, the steroid lipids contained were all cholesterol, and the PEGylated lipids contained were all PEG2k-DMG. The only difference was the cationic lipid.
[0365] The preparation method of LNP / Fluc-mRNA is as follows:
[0366] Step (1): Pipette a certain amount of cationic lipid, DSPC, cholesterol and PEGylated lipid stock solution, dissolve the cationic lipid, DSPC, cholesterol and PEGylated lipid in ethanol at a molar ratio of 50:10:38:1.5 to obtain an ethanol phase solution (the lipid formula of each group is shown in Table 1 of Example 12, the cationic lipids used in the control groups A1, A2, A3 and A4 are R1-1-ether, R1-1-LB, R1-2-DE and R7-1-LB, respectively, and the cationic lipids in the experimental groups L1-1 to L9-3 are the disulfide bond-containing cationic lipids of the present invention);
[0367] Among them, R1-1-ether was synthesized by Comparative Example 1.4. Compared with E1-1, the difference is that the heteroatom group between the ionizable tertiary amine group and the disulfide bond of R1-1-ether is a stable ether group, which is different from the degradable ester group in E1-1;
[0368] Among them, R1-1-LB was synthesized by Comparative Example 1.5. Compared with E1-1, the difference is that there is no heteroatom group between the ionizable tertiary amine group and the disulfide bond of R1-1-LB;
[0369] R1-2-DE was synthesized according to the method described in CN114901360A. Compared with E1-2, R1-2-DE differs in that no heteroatom groups exist between the ionizable tertiary amine group and the disulfide bond, and all ester bonds in R1-2-DE are located in the hydrophobic tail chain. The structure of R1-2-DE is as follows:
[0370] R7-1-LB was synthesized according to the method described in CN107406396A. Compared with E7-1, R7-1-LB differs in that there is no heteroatom group between the ionizable tertiary amine group and the disulfide bond. The structure of R7-1-LB is as follows:
[0371] Step (2): Add Fluc-mRNA to 10-50 mM citrate buffer (pH = 4) to obtain an aqueous solution.
[0372] Step (3): The ethanol phase solution and the aqueous phase solution were mixed (1:3 v / v) to prepare LNP / Fluc-mRNA, and washed by DPBS ultrafiltration multiple times to remove ethanol and free molecules, and finally passed through a 0.2 μm sterile filter for use.
[0373] The above steps (1-3) were used, except that the molar ratio of each lipid was changed to cationic lipid: DSPC: cholesterol: PEGylated lipid = 48:9:42:1.5, where E1-1 was used as the cationic lipid. Other conditions remained unchanged to prepare LNP / Fluc-mRNA (L1-1-d).
[0374] Example 12: Biological activity test of lipid pharmaceutical composition
[0375] (1) Determination of nanoparticle size and nucleic acid complexing ability
[0376] Nucleic Acid Complexation Capacity Assay: Gel electrophoresis was used to investigate the nucleic acid complexation capacity of LNP / Fluc-mRNA. Weigh 0.8 g of agarose and dissolve it in 40 mL of TAE solution. Heat in a microwave oven to completely dissolve the agarose particles. Cool the mixture and add 5 μL of the nucleic acid dye GelGreen to the cooled agarose gel. The gel was then placed in a gel tank and allowed to air dry. LNP / Fluc-mRNA was mixed with 2 μL of loading buffer and added to the wells of the agarose gel. The electrophoresis voltage was set to 90 V and the electrophoresis was performed at room temperature for 10 minutes. Free Fluc-mRNA was essentially absent in all experimental and control groups, demonstrating that the disulfide-bond-containing cationic lipids of the present invention have excellent nucleic acid complexation capacity.
[0377] Encapsulation efficiency determination: LNP / Fluc-mRNA was ultracentrifuged (4°C, 60,000 rpm, 1 hour). The concentration of unencapsulated Fluc-mRNA in the supernatant was measured using a nucleic acid quantifier. The encapsulation efficiency of LNP for Fluc-mRNA was calculated, and the results are summarized in Table 1. The encapsulation efficiency in all experimental groups was above 86%, demonstrating that the LNPs of the present invention have a high encapsulation efficiency for nucleic acid drugs.
[0378] Particle size determination: According to the literature (Hassett et al., J. Controlled Release 2021, 335, 237-246), the particle size of the LNP preparation containing nucleic acid drugs can exert better efficacy when it is 60 to 150 nm. In this embodiment, the particle size of LNP / Fluc-mRNA was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The measured LNP / Fluc-mRNA size uniformity is high, and its PDI is less than 0.3. The experimental results show that the LNP / Fluc-mRNA particle size prepared using the cationic lipid of the present invention is 66 nm to 97 nm, which is within the particle size range that can achieve better efficacy.
[0379] Table 1 Encapsulation efficiency and particle size determination
[0380] (2) Serum stability evaluation
[0381] The above-mentioned LNP / Fluc-mRNA (control groups A1 to A4, experimental groups L1-1 to L10-2 and L1-1-d) was added to a culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), stirred at 37°C, and samples were taken regularly to measure the change in particle size of the LNP / Fluc-mRNA. The serum stability of the nucleic acid pharmaceutical preparation was analyzed by testing its particle size change. The experimental results showed that within 7 days, the particle size of the control group changed by 2 to 15%, and the particle size of the experimental group changed by 3 to 8%. These results show that the present invention, by appropriately introducing more degradable groups into the disulfide-bonded cationic lipid, does not significantly affect the serum stability of the prepared LNP-nucleic acid pharmaceutical composition.
[0382] (3) Cytotoxicity evaluation
[0383] Prepare DMEM high glucose complete medium (containing 10% FBS). Prepare samples (L1-1 to L10-2 and L1-1-d) with complete medium to 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, and 0.3 μg / 100 μL working solutions and store for later use. Take 293T cells in the logarithmic growth phase and add 7×10 3 / well, 100 μL / well were inoculated into 96-well plates. Three replicates were set up for both the control group and the sample group. After incubation in a 5% CO2, 37°C constant temperature incubator for 24 hours, the original culture medium was retained, 100 μL / well of complete culture medium was added to the control group, and 100 μL / well of working solution was added to the sample group. After further incubation for 24 hours, culture medium containing 10% CCK-8 was added at 100 μL / well and incubated in a 5% CO2, 37°C constant temperature incubator for 2 hours. The absorbance value at 450 nm was detected by a microplate reader. The relative viability of the cells was calculated according to the following formula:
[0384] Relative activity % = (absorbance value of sample group - background absorbance value) / (absorbance value of control group - background absorbance value) × 100%, wherein the background absorbance value is the absorbance when only CCK-8 reagent and culture medium are added.
[0385] The experimental results showed that the lipid drug nanoparticles prepared using the cationic lipid of the present invention did not produce significant cytotoxicity under five concentration gradients, and the cell survival rate was greater than 95%. Specifically, the results of sample group L7-1 are shown in Figure 8.
[0386] (4) Evaluation of in vitro transfection effect
[0387] Designing to introduce additional degradable groups at appropriate positions in the disulfide-containing cationic lipid structure, especially in the part between the ionizable tertiary amine group and the disulfide bond, can significantly improve the delivery efficiency of LNP for nucleic acid drugs and achieve more efficient transfection.
[0388] In order to investigate the mRNA transfection efficiency of each group of LNP / Fluc-mRNA compositions prepared in Example 11 of the present invention at the cellular level, Luciferase bioluminescence was used for testing. The LNP / Fluc-mRNA composition preparation was dissolved in culture medium to prepare the required dose. HeLa cells were used as a cell model, and 100 μL / well of the cell suspension was inoculated into a 96-well plate with a black-edged transparent bottom at a seeding density of 6000 cells / well. After inoculation, the cells were incubated in a cell culture incubator for 24 hours and then administered at a dose of 0.2 μg mRNA per well. A1 to A4 were set as positive control groups, and L1-1 to L10-2 were set as experimental groups. A blank control group was also set up, and the corresponding dose of free Fluc-mRNA was added. After 24 hours of transfection, the old culture medium was removed and replaced with a new culture medium containing D-luciferin sodium (1.5 mg / mL) substrate. After incubation for 5 minutes, bioluminescence was detected using a microplate reader. The stronger the fluorescence, the more Fluc-mRNA was transported into the cytoplasm and translated into the corresponding fluorescent protein. The results showed that the transfection effect of most experimental groups was better than that of the control group. In particular, when the cationic lipid structure was similar, the transfection effect of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the positive control group.
