AI Technical Summary
Existing liver-targeted delivery systems for nucleic acid drugs suffer from insufficient delivery efficiency and long-term effectiveness, and also have high synthesis costs.
A nucleotide drug delivery system was constructed using a 3,4-substituted pyrrole ring as a linker unit. The nucleotide drug delivery system formed by the linker unit was conjugated with GalNAc compounds to improve liver-targeted delivery efficiency and long-lasting effect, while reducing the effective dose.
This improved the liver-targeted delivery efficiency and long-lasting effect of nucleic acid drugs, reduced the effective dose requirement, and simplified the synthesis process, thus lowering production costs.

Abstract
Description
A conjugate and its application Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of biomedicine, specifically to a conjugate and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, nucleic acid drugs, especially oligonucleotide drugs, are widely used due to their simple synthesis and high activity. Oligonucleotide drugs typically include antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), small interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and nucleic acid aptamers.
[0003] N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) is a ligand that binds to the desialization glycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) on the liver surface. The desialization glycoprotein receptor is an endocytic receptor specifically expressed on the surface of hepatocytes. In recent years, the high-affinity ligand GalNAc, used as a targeting molecule, has made some progress in the liver-targeted delivery of nucleic acid drugs. For example, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported that siRNA based on GalNAc conjugation technology exerted gene silencing activity in mice (Nair JK, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 16958). The paper reported that the GalNAc-siRNA conjugate exhibited good delivery activity in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. In in vivo experiments in mice administered subcutaneously, the ED50 for a single dose was determined to be 1 mg / kg, with a single injection dose of less than 1 mL. In long-term dosing studies, weekly subcutaneous injections resulted in stable interference activity for up to 9 months. The study found that GalNAc compounds with four or three antennae have a much higher affinity for ASGPR than GalNAc compounds with two or one antennae.
[0004] Different ligand structures result in significantly different nucleic acid delivery effects. There remains a need in this field to develop new ligand compounds. Summary of the Invention

[0336] X is the aforementioned ligand or its derivative;

[0343] In some embodiments, the conjugate structure included in this application further includes one of the following:

[0347] m2 is an integer from 0 to 20, preferably from 1 to 10, more preferably from 1 to 5, and in some embodiments, m2 is 2;
[0348] RA stands for oligonucleotide.
[0349] The oligonucleotides in this application include single-stranded oligonucleotides (e.g., antisense nucleotides, or ASO) and double-stranded oligonucleotides (e.g., small interfering nucleotides, or siRNA). In a preferred embodiment, the oligonucleotide contains 7-30 nucleotides. Conjugates prepared from such oligonucleotides will have greater therapeutic value.
[0350] In one embodiment, the oligonucleotide is selected from small interfering nucleotides, DNA, microRNA (miRNA), small activating RNA (saRNA), small guide RNA (sgRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), antisense nucleotides, or aptamers, with the oligonucleotide preferably being an antisense nucleotide or a small interfering nucleotide.
[0351] The nucleic acids of this invention can be single-stranded DNA or RNA, double-stranded DNA or RNA, or DNA-RNA hybrids. Examples of double-stranded DNA include structural genes, genes containing control and termination regions, and DNA from self-replication systems such as viruses or plasmids. Examples of double-stranded RNA include siRNA and other RNA interference agents. Single-stranded nucleic acids include, for example, antisense oligonucleotides, ribozymes, microRNAs, and oligonucleotides that form triple helices.
[0352] The nucleic acids of the present invention can have various lengths, which generally depend on the specific form of the nucleic acid. For example, in specific embodiments, the length of a plasmid or gene can range from about 1,000 to 100,000 nucleotide residues. In specific embodiments, the length of an oligonucleotide can range from about 10 to 100 nucleotides. In various related embodiments, the lengths of single-stranded, double-stranded, and triple-stranded oligonucleotides can range from about 10 to about 50 nucleotides, about 20 to about 50 nucleotides, about 15 to about 30 nucleotides, and about 20 to about 30 nucleotides.
[0353] In specific embodiments, the oligonucleotide (or its chain) of the present invention specifically hybridizes to or is complementary to the target polynucleotide. "Specifically hybridizable" and "complementary" are terms used to indicate sufficient complementarity to produce a stable and specific binding between the DNA or RNA target and the oligonucleotide. It should be understood that the oligonucleotide does not need to be 100% complementary to its target nucleic acid sequence for specific hybridization. The oligonucleotide is specifically hybridizable and has sufficient complementarity to avoid non-specific binding of the oligonucleotide to non-target sequences under conditions of desired specific binding, namely, physiological conditions in in vivo assays or therapeutic treatments, or conditions under which in vitro assays are performed. Therefore, in other embodiments, the oligonucleotide includes substitutions of 1, 2, or 3 bases compared to the region of the gene or mRNA sequence to which it targets or specifically hybridizes.
[0354] In specific embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are associated with RNA interference (RNAi) molecules. RNA interference methods using RNAi molecules can be used to disrupt the expression of genes or polynucleotides of interest. These RNAi molecules are also referred to as iRNA agents and are described below.
[0355] iRNA agents should include regions that are sufficiently homologous to the target gene and of sufficient length in terms of nucleotides to allow the iRNA agent or fragments thereof to mediate downregulation of the target gene. (For ease of interpretation, the terms nucleotide or ribonucleotide are sometimes used herein to refer to one or more monomeric subunits of the RNA agent. It will be understood herein that the use of the terms “ribonucleotide” or “nucleotide” may also refer to the modified nucleotide or the substitution portion at one or more positions in the case of modified RNA or nucleotide substitutions.) Thus, an iRNA agent is or includes a region that is at least partially complementary to the target RNA and, in one embodiment, completely complementary. Perfect complementarity between the iRNA agent and the target is not necessary, but conformity must be sufficient to allow the iRNA agent or its cleavage product to guide sequence-specific silencing, for example, through RNAi cleavage of the target RNA such as mRNA. The degree of complementarity or homology with the target strand is most critical in the antisense strand. When perfect complementarity (especially in the antisense strand) is generally desired, an embodiment may include (especially in the antisense strand) one or more, or for example, six, five, four, three, two, or fewer mismatches (relative to the target RNA). The mismatches, particularly those in the antisense strand, are most tolerant in the terminal regions and, if present, can be in the terminal regions or in regions of 6, 5, 4, or 3 nucleotides from, for example, the 5' and / or 3' ends. The sense strand only needs to be sufficiently complementary to the antisense strand to maintain the overall double-stranded nature of the molecule.
[0356] As discussed elsewhere in this document, and in material incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, iRNA agents are typically modified or include nucleoside substitutes. Single-stranded regions of iRNA agents are typically modified or include nucleoside substitutes, such as one or more unpaired regions of a hairpin structure, or regions connecting two complementary regions that may have modifications or nucleoside substitutes. Modifications that stabilize one or more 3' or 5' ends of iRNA agents, for example, targeting exonucleases, or that facilitate the entry of antisense siRNA agents into RISC are also envisioned. Modifications may include C3 (or C6, C7, C12) amino linkers, thiol linkers, carboxyl linkers, non-nucleotide spacer groups (C3, C6, C9, C12, debased, triethylene glycol, hexaethylene glycol), and specific biotinylate or luciferin reagents, wherein the luciferin reagent is phosphorousamide and has another hydroxyl group protecting DMT, allowing multiple coupling during RNA synthesis.
[0357] iRNA agents comprise: molecules long enough to trigger an interferon response and enter the RISC (RNAi-induced silencing complex) (which can be cleaved by Dicer (Bemstein et al. 2001. Nature, 409: 363-366); and molecules short enough that they do not trigger an interferon response (which can also be cleaved by Dicer and / or enter the RISC), such as molecules having a size that allows entry into the RISC, such as molecules similar to Dicer cleavage products. Molecules short enough that they do not trigger an interferon response are referred to herein as siRNA agents or shorter iRNA agents. As used herein, “siRNA agent or shorter iRNA agent” means an iRNA agent, such as a double-stranded or single-stranded RNA agent that is short enough that it does not induce a harmful interferon response in human cells, for example, having a double-stranded region of fewer than 60, 50, 40, or 30 nucleotide pairs. siRNA agents or their cleavage products can downregulate target genes by, for example, inducing RNAi with respect to target RNA, wherein the target may include endogenous or pathogenic target RNA.
[0358] The length of each strand of an siRNA agent can be equal to or less than 30, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, or 20 nucleotides. The length of the strand can be at least 19 nucleotides. For example, the length of each strand can be between 21 and 25 nucleotides. The siRNA agent can have a double-stranded region of 17, 18, 19, 29, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 nucleotide pairs, and one or more overhangs, or one or two 3' overhangs of 2-3 nucleotides.
[0359] In addition to homology with target RNA and the ability to downregulate target genes, iRNA agents may possess one or more of the following properties:
[0360] The single-stranded iRNA agent can be long enough for it to enter RISC and participate in RISC-mediated cleavage of the target mRNA. The length of the single-stranded iRNA agent is at least 14 nucleotides, and in other embodiments at least 15, 20, 25, 29, 35, 40, or 50 nucleotides. In some embodiments, its length is less than 200, 100, or 60 nucleotides.
[0361] The hairpin iRNA agent will have a double-stranded region of 17, 18, 19, 29, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 nucleotide pairs. The length of the double-stranded region will be equal to or less than 200, 100, or 50 nucleotide pairs. In some embodiments, the length of the double-stranded region ranges from 15-30, 17-23, 19-23, and 19-21 nucleotide pairs. The hairpin structure is at 3' in one embodiment, and in some embodiments may have a single-stranded overhang or a terminal unpaired region on the antisense side of the hairpin structure. In one embodiment, the overhang is 2-3 nucleotides long.
[0362] The term "double-stranded (ds)iRNA agent" as used in this article refers to an iRNA agent comprising more than one strand, and in some cases two strands, in which regions of interstrand hybridization can form a double-stranded structure.
[0363] The antisense strand of a double-stranded iRNA agent can be equal to or at least 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 25, 29, 40, or 60 nucleotides in length. Its length can be equal to or less than 200, 100, or 50 nucleotides. The length range can be 17 to 25, 19 to 23, and 19 to 21 nucleotides.
[0364] The sense strand of a double-stranded iRNA agent can be equal to or at least 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 25, 29, 40, or 60 nucleotides in length. Its length can be equal to or less than 200, 100, or 50 nucleotides. The length range can be 17 to 25, 19 to 23, and 19 to 21 nucleotides.
[0365] The length of the double-stranded portion of a double-stranded iRNA agent can be equal to or at least 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 29, 40, or 60 nucleotide pairs. Its length can be equal to or less than 200, 100, or 50 nucleotide pairs. The length range can be 15-30, 17-23, 19-23, and 19-21 nucleotide pairs.
[0366] It is desirable to modify one or both of the antisense and sense strands of a double-stranded iRNA agent. In some cases, they will have the same or similar modifications, but in others, the sense and antisense strands will have different modifications, for example, in some cases it is desirable to modify only the sense strand. It may be desirable to modify only the sense strand to, for example, render it inactive, for example, the sense strand can be modified to render it inactive and prevent the formation of active siRNA / protein or RISC. This can be achieved by modifications that prevent 5'-phosphorylation of the sense strand. Other modifications that prevent phosphorylation can also be used, for example, simply replacing 5'-OH with H instead of O-Me. Alternatively, a large group can be added to the 5'-phosphate to convert it into a phosphodiester bond, although this may be less desirable because phosphodiesterases can cleave this bond and release the 5' end of the functional siRNA. Antisense strand modifications include 5' phosphorylation and any other 5' modifications discussed herein, particularly the 5' modifications discussed in the single-stranded iRNA molecule section above.
[0367] The sense and antisense strands can be selected such that the ds iRNA agent includes single-stranded or unpaired regions at one or both ends of the molecule. Therefore, the ds iRNA agent may contain a sense and antisense strand, which are paired to contain overhangs, such as one or two 5' or 3' overhangs, or 3' overhangs of 2-3 nucleotides. Many embodiments will have 3' overhangs. Some siRNA agents will have single-stranded overhangs, in one embodiment being 3' overhangs of 1, 2, or 3 nucleotides in length at each end. The overhangs may be the result of one strand being longer than the other, or the result of two strands of equal length being interleaved. The 5' end may be phosphorylated.
[0368] In one embodiment, the length of the double-stranded region is between 15 and 30 nucleotides, or 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 nucleotides, for example, within the range of siRNA agents discussed above. The siRNA agent is similar in length and structure to the product of natural Dicer processed from long dsiRNA. Embodiments are also included in which the two strands of the siRNA agent are joined, for example, covalently. Hairpin structures or other single-stranded structures providing the desired double-stranded region, as well as 3' overhangs, are also present in this invention.
[0369] The isolated iRNA agents described herein, including dsiRNA agents and siRNA agents, can mediate the silencing of target RNAs, such as mRNAs, or transcripts of genes encoding proteins. For convenience, this mRNA is also referred to herein as the mRNA to be silenced. The gene is also referred to as the target gene. Typically, the RNA to be silenced is an endogenous gene or a pathogen gene. Additionally, RNAs other than mRNAs, such as tRNAs and viral RNAs, can also be targeted.
[0370] As used in this article, the phrase “mediated RNAi” refers to the ability to silence target RNA in a sequence-specific manner. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the mechanisms or steps of silencing RNAi and the guide RNA, such as 21 to 23 nucleotide siRNA agents, are involved.
[0371] As used herein, "specifically hybridizable" and "complementary" are terms used to indicate sufficient complementarity to produce stable and specific binding between the compounds of the present invention and the target RNA molecules. Specific binding requires sufficient complementarity to avoid nonspecific binding of the oligomeric compound to non-target sequences under the conditions for desired specific binding, namely, physiological conditions in in vivo assays or therapeutic treatments, or conditions under which the assay is performed in vitro. Non-target sequences typically differ by at least 5 nucleotides.
[0372] In one embodiment, the iRNA agent is "fully complementary" to the target RNA, such as the target mRNA, so that the iRNA agent silences the production of the protein encoded by the target mRNA. In another embodiment, the iRNA agent is "exactly complementary" to the target RNA, for example, the target RNA and the iRNA agent anneal to form, for example, a hybrid uniquely composed of Watson-Crick base pairs in precisely complementary regions. The "fully complementary" target RNA may include an internal region (e.g., having at least 10 nucleotides) that is precisely complementary to the target RNA. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the iRNA agent specifically identifies single nucleotide differences. In this case, if precise complementarity is found in a single nucleotide difference in that region (e.g., within 7 nucleotides), then the iRNA agent mediates RNAi only.
[0373] As used herein, the term “oligonucleotide” refers to a nucleic acid molecule (RNA or DNA) that is, for example, less than 100, 200, 300, or 400 nucleotides in length.
[0374] MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a highly conserved class of small RNA molecules that are transcribed from DNA in the genomes of plants and animals but are not translated into proteins. Processed miRNAs are single-stranded RNA molecules of approximately 17-25 nucleotides (nt) that are incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) and have been identified as key regulators of development, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. They are believed to play a role in the regulation of gene expression by binding to the 3'-untranslated region of specific mRNAs. RISC mediates the downregulation of gene expression through translational repression, transcript cleavage, or both. RISC is also involved in transcriptional silencing in the nucleus of a wide range of eukaryotic cells.
[0375] In one embodiment, the nucleic acid is an antisense oligonucleotide targeting a target polynucleotide. The term "antisense oligonucleotide" or simply "antisense" is intended to include oligonucleotides complementary to the target polynucleotide sequence. Antisense oligonucleotides are single-stranded DNA or RNA complementary to a selected sequence. In the case of antisense RNA, they prevent translation of the complementary RNA strand by binding to it. Antisense DNA can be used to target a specific complementary (coding or non-coding) RNA. If binding occurs, the DNA / RNA hybrid can be degraded by the enzyme RNase H. In a particular embodiment, the antisense oligonucleotide contains about 10 to about 50 nucleotides, more preferably about 15 to about 30 nucleotides. The term also covers antisense oligonucleotides that may not be precisely complementary to the desired target gene. Therefore, the present invention can be used when non-target-specific activity is found for the antisense, or when containing one or more antisense sequences that mismatch with the target sequence is most preferred for a particular purpose.
[0376] Methods for generating antisense oligonucleotides are known in the art and can be readily modified to produce antisense oligonucleotides targeting any polynucleotide sequence. The selection of antisense nucleotide sequences specific to a given target sequence is based on the analysis of the selected target sequence and the determination of secondary structure, Tm, binding energy, and relative stability. Antisense oligonucleotides can be selected based on the fact that they are relatively incapable of forming dimers, hairpin structures, or other secondary structures that would reduce or prevent specific binding to the target mRNA in the host cell. Highly preferred target regions of mRNA include those regions at or near the AUG translation start codon and those sequences that are substantially complementary to the 5' region of the mRNA. These secondary structure analyses and target site selection considerations can be performed using, for example, OLIGO primer analysis software (Molecular Biology Insights) v.4 and / or BLASTN 2.0.5 algorithm software (Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 1997, 25(17): 3389-402).
[0377] The oligonucleotides used in this application include both naturally occurring and chemically modified oligonucleotides. Chemical modifications here include nucleoside modifications (including sugar moiety modifications and nucleobase modifications) and inter-nucleoside linkage modifications. Chemical modifications of oligonucleotides do not include those differing only in the nucleobase sequence. "Naturally occurring" here refers to naturally occurring RNA or DNA.

[0425] Example 2: Preparation of Q1-Justice Chain and Q2-Justice Chain
[0426] 2.1 Preparation of Q1-Justice Chain

[0428] The method employs a phosphorus amide solid-phase synthesis, starting with a CPG or PS solid-phase support attached to Unylinker (catalog number: C3001-100; manufacturer: Dinaxinke). Following the nucleotide sequence, nucleoside monomers or BSQ1 molecules are sequentially linked from the 3'-5' direction. Each linkage of a nucleoside or BSQ1 involves four steps: deprotection, coupling, capping, oxidation, or thiolation, yielding a Q1-positive chain with a solid-phase support.
[0429] The conditions for each reaction step are as follows:
[0430] (1) Nucleoside monomer or BSQ1: Dissolve in anhydrous acetonitrile to form an acetonitrile solution with a concentration of 0.1 mol / L.

[0463] Step Two:
[0464] The synthesized siRNA antisense strand with a solid-phase carrier was added to a 2 ml centrifuge tube, and 25-28% ammonia solution was added. The mixture was reacted at 55°C for 16 hours, filtered, and then washed three times with 1 mL of 50% ethanol aqueous solution to remove the solid-phase carrier. The filtrate was concentrated and dried to obtain crude siRNA antisense strand, which was then awaited for purification.

[0470] The steps are the same as the first step in Example 1.1.
[0471] Step Two:
[0472] The steps are the same as step 2 in Example 1.1.
[0473] Step 3:
[0474] In a 100 mL three-necked flask, 30 mL of dichloromethane and compound 4 (5 g, 11 mmol) were added, followed by 15 mL of diethylamine. The reaction was carried out at room temperature for 14 h. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was removed by concentration under reduced pressure. The mixture was then slurried once with methyl tert-butyl ether, the supernatant was discarded, and the mixture was finally dried by pumping to obtain the intermediate (2.65 g), which was used directly in the next step.
[0475] Add 60 mL of LDM to a 250 mL three-necked flask, start stirring, and under nitrogen protection, add compound 17 (4.92 g, 11 mmol), EDCI (2.87 g, 15 mmol), HOBT (1.62 g, 12 mmol), and intermediate (2.65 g, 11 mmol) in an ice bath.
