Technical Field
[0003] This disclosure pertains to the field of biomedicine, specifically relating to compounds containing lipophilic monomers, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology
[0004] Modified nucleic acids show great potential as research tools in the laboratory and as therapeutic agents in the clinic for regulating gene expression. Several classes of oligonucleotide or nucleic acid-based therapeutics are in clinical trials, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded nucleic acids (dsNA), aptamers, ribozymes, exon skipping and splicing-altering oligonucleotides, immunomodulatory oligonucleotides, mRNA, and CRISPR. Chemical modifications in these molecules play a crucial role in overcoming the challenges of oligonucleotide therapeutics, including improving nuclease stability, RNA binding affinity, and pharmacokinetics.
[0005] GalNAc-conjugated siRNAs have become a major mode of delivery for liver-targeted small nucleic acid drugs. However, the development and clinical application of RNAi oligonucleotides in extrahepatic cells, tissues, and organs (e.g., the central nervous system, eye, or adipose tissue) still face technical hurdles. Therapeutic gene silencing mediated by RNAi oligonucleotides is particularly significant for treating neurological and ocular diseases. This invention provides an oligonucleotide conjugate with high delivery efficiency, capable of effectively delivering oligonucleotides to target organs or tissues, such as the central nervous system and ocular tissues, exhibiting high pharmaceutical activity.

[0151] In some preferred embodiments, formula I can be selected from formulas Ia, I-a1, I-a2, Ib, I-b1, Ic, Id and Ie.
[0152] In some embodiments, the lipophilic monomer is selected from the group consisting of:
[0153] The wavy lines represent single bonds that are linked to the rest of the compound.
[0154] In some embodiments, this application provides precursors of lipophilic monomers selected from compounds listed below, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, tautomers, or stereoisomers thereof:
[0155] In this application, the use of the precursor of the lipophilic monomer in the preparation of the compounds of this application (e.g., oligonucleotides) is provided.
[0156] In some embodiments, the lipophilic monomer conjugated to one or more positions on the chain of the compound has the following structure: In the above structure of the lipophilic monomer, the monomer may also contain one or more asymmetric centers, and thus exist in the form of racemic mixtures and racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, individual diastereomers and mixtures of diastereomers. All such isomeric forms of the monomer are explicitly included.
[0157] In some embodiments, the compound is a single-stranded or double-stranded oligonucleotide.
[0158] In some embodiments, the compound is preferably a double-stranded oligonucleotide, such as siRNA.
[0159] The double-stranded oligonucleotide comprises a sense strand and an antisense strand, wherein the antisense strand is complementary to the target gene; and the sense strand is complementary to the antisense strand.
[0160] In some implementations, the antisense strand comprises a sequence B whose inverse complementary sequence to at least 15 consecutive nucleotides in the target sequence differs by no more than 3 nucleotides. Specifically, a start nucleotide is selected in the target sequence along the 5' end to the 3' end, and at least 15 nucleotides extending in the 3' direction, including the start nucleotide, serve as the binding region of the siRNA. The antisense strand comprises the inverse complementary sequence of the nucleotide sequence corresponding to the binding region. It should be noted that the start nucleotide can be a nucleotide at any position in the target sequence, as long as extending in the 3' direction from the start nucleotide yields at least 15 consecutive nucleotides (including the nucleotide at the start position).
[0161] In this invention, the nucleotide sequence of the antisense strand can be completely complementary or substantially complementary to the target sequence. When the nucleotide sequence of the antisense strand is substantially complementary to the target sequence, the nucleotide sequence of the antisense strand contains no more than three mismatched bases with the target sequence. For example, the number of mismatched bases is one, two, or three. When the nucleotide sequence of the antisense strand is completely complementary to the target sequence, the nucleotide sequence of the antisense strand does not contain any mismatched bases with the target sequence.
[0162] Furthermore, the antisense strand consists of at least 15 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the antisense strand consists of 15-28 nucleotides. For example, the length of the antisense strand is 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, or 28 nucleotides. Preferably, the antisense strand consists of 18-25 nucleotides, more preferably 18-23 nucleotides, and most preferably 19, 21, or 23 nucleotides.
[0163] In some specific embodiments, the nucleotide that differs from the target sequence is preferably located at the end of the antisense strand. For example, in some specific embodiments, the differing nucleotide is located at the 3' end of the antisense strand. In other specific embodiments, the differing nucleotide is located at the 5' end of the antisense strand.
[0164] In some embodiments, the sense strand comprises a sequence differing from at least 15 consecutive nucleotides in the target sequence by no more than 3 nucleotides. The sense strand includes regions complementary to the antisense strand, and the nucleotide sequence of the sense strand is identical or substantially identical to the sequence of the antisense strand binding region on the target sequence. Therefore, the nucleotide sequence of the sense strand is at least 15 consecutive nucleotides in the target sequence that bind the antisense strand; or, the nucleotide sequence of the sense strand differs from at least 15 consecutive nucleotides in the target sequence that bind the antisense strand by 1, 2, or 3 bases.
[0165] Furthermore, the positive sense strand consists of at least 15 nucleotides. In some embodiments, the positive sense strand consists of 15-28 nucleotides. For example, the length of the positive sense strand is 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, or 28 nucleotides. Preferably, the positive sense strand consists of 18-25 nucleotides, more preferably 18-23 nucleotides, and most preferably 19, 21, or 23 nucleotides.
[0166] In some specific embodiments, the nucleotide that differs from the target sequence is preferably located at the end of the sense strand. For example, in some specific embodiments, the differing nucleotide is located at the 3' end of the sense strand. In other specific embodiments, the differing nucleotide is located at the 5' end of the sense strand.
[0167] In this disclosure, the length of the justice chain and the length of the antisense chain may be the same or different.
[0168] In some implementations, the lengths of the justice chain and the antisense chain are the same. Specifically, the ratio of the justice chain to the antisense chain length is 15 / 15, 16 / 16, 17 / 17, 18 / 18, 19 / 19, 20 / 20, 21 / 21, 22 / 22, 23 / 23, 24 / 24, 25 / 25, 26 / 26, 27 / 27, or 28 / 28. Preferably, the ratio of the justice chain to the antisense chain length is 18 / 18, 19 / 19, 20 / 20, 21 / 21, 22 / 22, 23 / 23, 24 / 24, or 25 / 25; more preferably, it is 19 / 19, 20 / 20, 21 / 21, 22 / 22, or 23 / 23; and most preferably, it is 19 / 19, 21 / 21, or 23 / 23.
[0169] In some implementations, the lengths of the justice chain and the antisense chain differ. For example, the justice chain / antisense chain length ratios are 18 / 19, 18 / 20, 18 / 21, 18 / 22, 18 / 23, 18 / 24, 18 / 25, 18 / 26, 19 / 18, 19 / 20, 19 / 21, 19 / 22, 19 / 23, 19 / 24, 19 / 25, 19 / 26, 20 / 19, 20 / 21, 20 / 22, 20 / 23, 20 / 24, 20 / 25, 20 / 26, 21 / 18, 21 / 19 21 / 20, 21 / 22, 21 / 23, 21 / 24, 21 / 25, 21 / 26, 22 / 18, 22 / 19, 22 / 20, 22 / 21, 22 / 23, 22 / 24, 22 / 25, 22 / 26, 23 / 19, 23 / 20, 23 / 21, 23 / 22, 23 / 24, 23 / 25, or 23 / 26, etc.; in some preferred embodiments, the length ratio of the justice chain to the antisense chain is 19 / 21 or 21 / 23.
[0170] In this disclosure, the sense strand and the antisense strand can be fully complementary or substantially complementary. When they are substantially complementary, there are no more than 3 mismatched bases in the double-stranded region formed by the sense strand and the antisense strand.
[0171] In some embodiments, after the sense and antisense strands are at least partially complementary to form a double-stranded region, the sense, antisense, or combination thereof has protruding nucleotides extending out of the double-stranded region. The number of protruding nucleotides can be one or more, for example, one or two. Furthermore, the one or two protruding nucleotides can be located at the 5' end, 3' end, or both ends of any antisense or sense strand, and each protruding nucleotide can be of any type. For example, in the case where the sense strand consists of a 21-unit sequence A+D and the antisense strand consists of a 21-unit sequence B+E, the nucleotides at positions 1-19 of sequence A are completely anticomplementary to those at positions 1-19 of sequence B in the direction from the 5' end to the 3' end, thereby forming protruding nucleotides at the 3' end of sequences D and E, respectively. For example, when the sense strand consists of a 19-position sequence A and the antisense strand consists of a 21-position sequence B+E, the nucleotides 1-19 of sequence A are completely anticomplementary to those 1-19 of sequence B in the direction from the 5' end to the 3' end, thus forming a protruding nucleotide at the 3' end of sequence E on the antisense strand.
[0172] In some embodiments, the sense strand and the antisense strand are at least partially complementary to form the double-stranded region, and the 3' end of the sense strand has 1-2 protruding nucleotides extending out of the double-stranded region, while the 3' end of the antisense strand is blunt. In some embodiments, the sense strand and the antisense strand are at least partially complementary to form the double-stranded region, and the 3' end of the antisense strand has 1-2 protruding nucleotides extending out of the double-stranded region, while the 3' end of the sense strand is blunt. In some embodiments, the sense strand and the antisense strand are at least partially complementary to form the double-stranded region, and both the sense strand and the antisense strand have 1-2 protruding nucleotides extending out of the double-stranded region at their 3' ends. In some embodiments, the sense strand and the antisense strand are at least partially complementary to form the double-stranded region, and both the sense strand and the antisense strand have blunt 3' ends.
[0173] In some embodiments, each nucleotide of the sense strand is independently a modified or unmodified nucleotide. In some embodiments, each nucleotide of the antisense strand is independently a modified or unmodified nucleotide.
[0174] In some embodiments, any two nucleotides linked in the sense strand are connected by a phosphodiester bond or a phosphothiodiester bond. In some embodiments, any two nucleotides linked in the antisense strand are connected by a phosphodiester bond or a phosphothiodiester bond.
[0175] In some embodiments, the ribosome group of the 5' terminal nucleotide of the positive strand is a 5' hydroxyl group.
[0176] In some embodiments, the ribosome of the 5' terminal nucleotide of the sense strand may have a 5' hydroxyl group, a 5' phosphate group, or a 5' phosphate-derived group. In some embodiments, the ribosome of the 5' terminal nucleotide of the antisense strand has a 5' hydroxyl group, a 5' phosphate group, or a 5' phosphate-derived group. The type of group at the 5' position of the ribosome depends on the preparation method used, which is known to those skilled in the art based on the corresponding preparation method.
[0177] For example, the structure of the 5' phosphate group is as follows: The structure of the 5' phosphate derivative group includes, but is not limited to: (EVP), wait.
[0178] Furthermore, the double-stranded oligonucleotide is a siRNA modifier.
[0179] In some embodiments, the siRNA modifier comprises a modification of at least one nucleotide. The nucleotide modification is selected from at least one of ribose group modification and base modification. In some embodiments, "nucleotide modification" refers to a nucleotide or nucleotide derivative formed by replacing the 2' hydroxyl group of the ribose group with another group, or a nucleotide in which the base is a modified base. The nucleotide modification does not result in a significant weakening or loss of the siRNA's ability to suppress gene expression. For example, modified nucleotides disclosed in JKWatts, G.F. Deleavey, and MJDamha, Chemically Modified siRNA: Tools and Applications. Drug Discov Today, 2008, 13(19-20):842-55 can be selected. Nucleotide modification can improve the stability of siRNA and maintain its high repressive efficiency against the SMAD2 gene.
[0180] For example, the modified nucleosides have the following structures:
[0181] Wherein, Base represents a base, such as A, U, G, C, or T. The hydroxyl group at the 2' position of the ribosome is replaced by R. These hydroxyl groups at the 2' position of the ribosome can be replaced by various groups known to those skilled in the art; for example, R can be selected from halogens, alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, substituted alkyl groups, and substituted alkoxy groups. For example, in some specific embodiments, the modified nucleotide includes, but is not limited to, 2'-fluoro(2'-F) modified nucleotides, 2'-alkoxy modified nucleotides, 2'-substituted alkoxy modified nucleotides, 2'-alkyl modified nucleotides, 2'-substituted alkyl modified nucleotides, and 2'-deoxyribonucleotides.
[0182] In some implementations, the 2'-alkoxy modified nucleotide is a 2'-methoxy (2'-OMe, 2'-O-CH3) modified nucleotide, etc.
[0183] In some embodiments, the 2'-substituted alkoxy modified nucleotide is a nucleotide modified with 2'-methoxyethoxy (2'-O-CH2-CH2-O-CH3), a nucleotide modified with 2'-O-CH2-CH=CH2, etc.
[0184] In some embodiments, the 2'-substituted alkyl-modified nucleotide is a 2'-CH2-CH2-CH=CH2 modified nucleotide, etc.
[0185] In some embodiments, the modification of the nucleotide is a modification of the bases. Base modifications can be of various types known to those skilled in the art. For example, base modifications include, but are not limited to, m... 6 A、Ψ、m 1 A、m 5 A, ms 2 i 6 A、i 6 A、m 3 C, m 5 C、ac 4 C, m 7 G, m 2,2 G, m 2 G, m 1 G, Q, m 5 U、mcm 5 U、ncm 5 U、ncm 5 Um, D, mcm 5 s 2 U, Inosine(I), hm 5 C, s 4 U、s 2 U, azobenzene, Cm, Um, Gm, t 6 A, yW, ms 2 t 6 A or its derivatives.
[0186] In some embodiments, a nucleotide derivative refers to a compound that can replace a nucleotide in a nucleic acid but has a structure different from adenine ribonucleotide, guanine ribonucleotide, cytosine ribonucleotide, uracil ribonucleotide, or thymine deoxyribonucleotide. In some embodiments, the nucleotide derivative can be an isonucleotide, a bridged nucleic acid (BNA), or an acyclic nucleotide. A BNA refers to a restricted or inaccessible nucleotide. A BNA can contain a bridging structure with a "fixed" C3'-endoglucan condensation, such as a five-membered, six-membered, or seven-membered ring. This bridge is typically incorporated into the 2',4' position of the ribose to provide a 2',4'-BNA nucleotide, such as LNA, ENA, cET, etc.
[0187] The nucleosides of LNA are shown in formula (1), the nucleosides of ENA are shown in formula (2), and the nucleosides of cET are shown in formula (3):

[0190] In formulas (4) and (5) above, Base refers to a base, and R is selected from H, OH or alkoxy (-O-alkyl).
[0191] In some implementations, nucleotide derivative modification refers to the replacement of nucleotides in nucleic acids with nucleotide derivatives. Exemplary examples include isonucleotides, LNA, ENA, cET, UNA, or GNA.
[0192] In some embodiments, the nucleotides in the nucleic acid are replaced with isonucleotides, also referred to as isonucleotide modification in the context of this disclosure. In some embodiments, isonucleotide modification includes incorporating an isonucleotide at one or more sites on the sense and / or antisense strands of the siRNA to be modified, in place of the native nucleoside for coupling at the corresponding position.
[0193] In some embodiments, the isonucleoside modification is D-isonucleoside modification. In other embodiments, the isonucleoside modification is L-isonucleoside modification. In still other embodiments, the isonucleoside modification is a combination of D-isonucleoside and L-isonucleoside modification.
[0194] In some embodiments, the double-stranded ribonucleic acid (siRNA) modifier includes modification of a phosphodiester bond at at least one position. In some embodiments, the modification of the phosphodiester bond refers to the substitution of at least one oxygen atom in the phosphodiester bond by a sulfur atom to form a phosphothiodiester bond. The phosphothiodiester bond can stabilize the double-stranded structure of siRNA and maintain the specificity of base pairing. An exemplary phosphothiodiester bond structure is shown below:
[0195] In some implementations, the siRNA modifier comprises at least one of the following chemical modifications:
[0196] (1) Modification of at least one nucleotide in the positive strand,

[0248] definition
[0249] Unless otherwise stated, the following terms as used in this application shall have the following meanings. A particular term should not be considered uncertain or unclear unless specifically defined, but should be understood in accordance with its ordinary meaning in the art. When a trade name appears herein, it is intended to refer to the corresponding product or its active ingredient.
[0250] In this art, “G,” “C,” “A,” “T,” and “U” typically represent the bases of guanine, cytosine, adenine, thymine, and uracil, respectively. However, it is also generally known in the art that each of “G,” “C,” “A,” “T,” and “U” typically also represents a nucleotide containing guanine, cytosine, adenine, thymine, and uracil as a base, respectively. This is a common practice in representing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences and / or ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequences. Therefore, in the context of this disclosure, the meanings of “G,” “C,” “A,” “T,” and “U” include all of the above-mentioned possible cases. However, it should be understood that the term “ribonucleotide” or “nucleotide” can also refer to a modified nucleotide (as further detailed below) or one with an alternative substitution. Those skilled in the art will recognize that guanine, cytosine, adenine, and uracil can be substituted with other parts without substantially altering the base-pairing properties of an oligonucleotide (including a nucleotide with such a substitution). For example, without limitation, a nucleotide including inosine as its base can be base-paired with a nucleotide including adenine, cytosine, or uracil. Thus, a nucleotide containing uracil, guanine, or adenine can be replaced in the nucleotide sequence of the dsRNA characterized in this disclosure by a nucleotide containing, for example, inosine. In another example, adenine and cytosine anywhere in the oligonucleotide can be replaced with guanine and uracil, respectively, to form a GU swing base pairing with the target mRNA. Sequences containing such replacement portions are suitable for the compositions and methods characterized in this disclosure. The terms “double-stranded oligonucleotide,” “double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecule,” and “dsRNA” as used in the context of this disclosure are used interchangeably. The term “dsRNA” refers to a complex of ribonucleic acid molecules having a double-stranded structure comprising two antiparallel and substantially complementary nucleic acid strands, described as having “sense” and “antisense” orientation relative to a target gene, such as the SMAD2 gene. In some embodiments, double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) triggers the degradation of target RNA, such as mRNA, through a post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism (referred to herein as RNA interference or RNAi).
[0251] Typically, the majority of nucleotides in each strand of a dsRNA molecule are ribonucleotides; however, as detailed herein, each or both strands may also include one or more non-ribonucleotides, such as deoxyribonucleotides and / or modified nucleotides. Additionally, as used herein, “double-stranded ribonucleic acid” can include chemically modified ribonucleotides, phosphate backbones, etc. These modifications can include all types of modifications disclosed herein or known in the art.
[0252] As used in the context of this disclosure, the term "isonucleotide" refers to a compound formed by altering the position of a base on the ribose ring, for example, a compound formed by attaching a base to the 2' or 3' position of the ribose ring instead of the 1' position.
[0253] In some embodiments, the double-stranded RNA disclosed herein is siRNA, which interacts with the mRNA sequence transcribed from the target gene (e.g., the mRNA sequence transcribed from the SMAD2 gene) to guide the cleavage of the target RNA. Not wishing to be bound by theory, long double-stranded RNA introduced into the cell is broken down into siRNA by a type III nuclease called Dicer (Sharp et al., Genes Dev. 2001, 15:485). Dicer (a type III ribonuclease-like enzyme) processes dsRNA into short 19–23 base pairs of interfering RNA with a characteristic dibase 3' overhang (Bernstein et al., (2001) Nature 409:363). These siRNAs are then incorporated into the RNA-inducible silencing complex (RISC), where one or more helicases unwind the siRNA duplex, enabling complementary antisense strands to guide target recognition (Nykanen et al., (2001) Cell 107:309). Once bound to a suitable target mRNA, one or more endonucleases within the RISC cleave the target to induce silencing (Elbashir et al., (2001) Genes Dev. 15:188).
[0254] As used in the context of this disclosure, the term "protruding nucleotide" refers to one or more unpaired nucleotides that protrude from the double-stranded structure of a dsRNA when one 3' end of one strand extends beyond the 5' end of the other strand, or vice versa. "Flat-ended" or "blunt-terminated" means that there are no unpaired nucleotides at the said end of the double-stranded ribonucleic acid, i.e., no nucleotide protrusions. A "flat-terminated" double-stranded ribonucleic acid is a dsRNA that is double-stranded throughout its entire length, i.e., without nucleotide protrusions at either end of the molecule.
[0255] The term "antisense strand" refers to a strand of double-stranded RNA that has a region substantially complementary to a target sequence (e.g., derived from human SMAD2 mRNA). Mismatches at the terminal regions are most tolerable when the complementary region is not perfectly complementary to the target sequence, and if mismatches do occur, they are typically within one or more terminal regions, such as within 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 nucleotides at the 5' and / or 3' ends.
[0256] The term "sense chain" refers to a double-stranded RNA strand containing a region that is substantially complementary to the antisense chain region.
[0257] The term “inhibition” can be used interchangeably with “reduction,” “silence,” “downregulation,” “suppression,” and other similar terms, and includes any level of inhibition.
[0258] The terms "lipophilic monomer" or "lipophilic moiety" broadly refer to any compound or chemical part that has an affinity for lipids. One way to characterize the lipophilicity of a lipophilic moiety is through the octanol-water partition coefficient logK. ow K ow This represents the ratio of the concentration of a chemical substance in the octanol phase to its concentration in the aqueous phase at equilibrium in a two-phase system. In principle, logK... ow When the value exceeds 0, the chemical substance exhibits lipophilicity. Typically, the logK of the lipophilic portion... ow Values exceeding 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10, such as the logK of 6-aminohexanol. ow The logK of cholesterol-based N-(hexyl-6-ol)carbamate is approximately 0.7. ow It is 10.7.
[0259] The lipophilicity of a molecule can be altered relative to the functional groups it carries. For example, adding a hydroxyl or amino group to the end of the lipophilic moiety can increase or decrease the partition coefficient (e.g., logK) of the lipophilic moiety. ow The lipophilic moiety can be aliphatic, cyclic (e.g., alicyclic), or polycyclic (e.g., polycyclic alicyclic compounds), such as steroids (e.g., sterols), or straight-chain or branched aliphatic hydrocarbons. The lipophilic moiety may generally contain a hydrocarbon chain, which may be cyclic or acyclic. The hydrocarbon chain may contain various substituents and / or one or more heteroatoms, such as oxygen or sulfur atoms.
[0260] The term "substituted" refers to the substitution of one or more hydrogen atoms on a specific atom by a substituent, provided that the valence state of the specific atom is normal and the resulting compound is stable. When the substituent is oxo (i.e., =O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are substituted; oxo substitution does not occur on aromatic groups.
[0261] The terms “optional” or “optionally” mean that the event or condition subsequently described may or may not occur, including both the occurrence and non-occurrence of said event or condition. For example, the ethyl group “optionally” being halogenated means that the ethyl group can be unsubstituted (-CH2CH3), monosubstituted (e.g., -CH2CH2F), polysubstituted (e.g., -CHFCH2F, -CH2CHF2, etc.), or fully substituted (-CF2CF3). Those skilled in the art will understand that for any group containing one or more substituents, no substitution or substitution pattern that is spatially impossible and / or cannot be synthesized is introduced.
[0262] C in this article m-n This means that the part has an integer number of carbon atoms within a given range. For example, "C 1-6 "" means that the group can have 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms, 4 carbon atoms, 5 carbon atoms or 6 carbon atoms.
[0263] In this invention, "unsaturated bond" refers to carbon-carbon double bonds and carbon-carbon triple bonds. That is, carbon atoms with one or two unsaturated bonds... 2-4 A hydrocarbon group refers to a hydrocarbon group containing an alkenyl or alkynyl group.
[0264] The term "alkenyl" refers to an unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group consisting of a straight or branched chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms, having at least one double bond. Non-limiting examples of alkenyl groups include, but are not limited to, vinyl, 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl, 1-butenyl, isobutenyl, 1,3-butadienyl, etc.
[0265] The term "alkynyl" refers to an unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group consisting of a straight or branched chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms, having at least one triple bond. Non-limiting examples of alkynyl groups include, but are not limited to, ethynyl (-C≡CH), 1-propynyl (-C≡C-CH3), 2-propynyl (-CH2-C≡CH), and 1,3-butyrynyl (-C≡CC≡CH).
[0266] When any variable (e.g., R) appears more than once in the composition or structure of a compound, its definition is independent in each case. Therefore, for example, if a group is substituted by two Rs, each R has an independent option.
[0267] When the number of a linking group is 0, such as -(CH2)0-, it indicates that the linking group is a covalent bond.
[0268] When one of the variables is selected as a covalent bond, it means that the two groups it connects are directly connected. For example, when L in ALZ represents a covalent bond, it means that the structure is actually AZ.
[0269] When a substituent is cross-bonded to two atoms on a ring, it can bond to any atom on that ring. For example, structural units. This indicates that it can be substituted at any position on the cyclohexyl group or cyclohexadiene.
[0270] In this document, ﹏ denotes a site where a group is covalently linked, for example, it may denote a site where the lipophilic monomer is covalently linked to a nucleotide of the double-stranded oligonucleotide. For example, ﹏ denotes a site where the structure is linked to H, or a phosphate group, nucleoside, etc.

[0468] Preparation Example 2
[0469] 1. Preparation of siRNA
[0470] 1.1 Synthesis of the Justice Chain (SS Chain)
[0471] The oligonucleotide was synthesized using a solid-phase phosphoramide method, employing a universal CPG solid support as the starting cycle. Nucleoside monomers were sequentially linked from the 3'-5' direction according to the nucleotide arrangement of the positive strand. Each linkage of a nucleoside monomer involved four steps: deprotection, coupling, oxidation or thiolation, and capping. The synthesized oligonucleotides were produced in a scale of 1 μmol. The synthetic conditions are as follows:
[0472] Nucleoside monomers were provided in 1.0 g / 10 mL acetonitrile solution. The reaction conditions were identical for each step: 25°C. Deprotection was performed three times using a 3% trichloroacetic acid-dichloromethane solution. The coupling reaction was activated with a 0.25 mol / L 5-ethylthiotetrazole acetonitrile solution for 8 min. Oxidation was performed with a 0.05 mol / L tetrahydrofuran / pyridine / water (70 / 20 / 10, v / v / v) solution for 0.5 min. Thiolation was performed with a 0.05 mol / L N,N-dimethyl-N'-(3-thio-3H-1,2,4-dithiazo-5-yl)formamidin acetonitrile / pyridine (2 / 3, v / v) solution for 8 min. Capping was performed twice per cycle using a 20% acetic anhydride-acetonitrile solution and a 15% N-methylimidazolium / acetonitrile solution.
[0473] 1.2 Synthesis of the antisense chain (AS chain)
[0474] The solid-phase phosphoramide synthesis method utilizes a universal CPG solid-phase support as the starting cycle, linking nucleoside monomers sequentially from the 3'-5' direction according to the nucleotide arrangement sequence of the antisense strand. Each linking of a nucleoside monomer involves four steps: deprotection, coupling, oxidation or thiolation, and capping. The synthesis conditions for 1 μmol of oligonucleotides in the antisense strand are the same as those for the sense strand.
[0475] 1.3 Purification and Annealing of Oligonucleotides
[0476] 1.3.1 Ammonolysis
[0477] The synthesized solid-phase support (sense or antisense chain) was added to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, along with 1.0 mL of 50% methylamine / ammonia solution (v / v). The mixture was reacted in a metal bath shaker at 25°C for 10 hours. The supernatant was collected, and the solid-phase support was washed twice with enzyme-free water.
[0478] Each batch of 200 μL was combined with the supernatant, centrifuged and concentrated, and the crude product was then purified.
[0479] 1.3.2 Purification
[0480] Purification was performed using a reverse chromatography system with a Shim-pack GIS C18 column and a gradient elution system of n-hexylamine acetate ions and acetonitrile. The prepared liquid was collected and lyophilized to obtain the single-chain product.
[0481] 1.3.3 Annealing
[0482] The sense chain (SS chain) and the antisense chain (AS chain) were mixed in a molar ratio (SS chain / AS chain = 1 / 1) and reacted in a metal bath shaker at 37°C for 4 hours. After naturally cooling to room temperature, the system was freeze-dried to obtain the product.
