Abstract
Description
Ionizable lipids and uses thereof
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application 2024110311424 with a filing date of 2024 / 7 / 30. This application incorporates the entirety of the aforementioned Chinese patent application. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the field of drug delivery, such as DNA and RNA, and more particularly, to ionizable lipid compounds, stereoisomers, solvates, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as well as compositions thereof and uses for making lipid nanoparticles. BACKGROUND
[0003] Lipid nanoparticles are currently the most commonly used delivery system for mRNA vaccines and related DNA, RNA therapies. Although the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine has achieved great success, we still need to pay attention to the side effects of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, and the development of a safe and efficient delivery system is the key to reducing side effects in nucleic acid therapies such as mRNA. In addition, in other DNA and RNA nucleic acid related therapy fields, most of the development of nucleic acid drug therapies is still in the preclinical or clinical stage, and the key to the continued progress of nucleic acid drug therapies lies in the development of safe and efficient lipid nanoparticle delivery systems. Lipid nanoparticles are mainly composed of ionizable lipids, cholesterol, phospholipids, and polyethylene glycol lipids, among which ionizable lipids are the key to the composition of lipid nanoparticle delivery systems, and therefore the development of new ionizable lipids is the focus of research on safe and efficient lipid nanoparticle delivery systems.

[0415] The N / P (nitrogen / phosphorus ratio) in the mRNA-LNP is maintained at 4.8, and the molar ratio of each lipid component in the LNP is: ionizable lipids: cholesterol: DSPC: PEG lipid (PEG2000-DMG) = 48.5:38.9:11.1:1.5. The ionizable lipids are the compounds prepared in this application. The Firefly Luciferase mRNA is dissolved in acetate buffer (200 mM, pH 5.0) to prepare an mRNA-buffer phase with a mRNA concentration of 85.38 pg / mL; the lipids are dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a lipid-ethanol phase with a total lipid concentration of 8.0 mM; the mRNA-buffer phase and the lipid-ethanol phase are rapidly mixed at a flow rate ratio of 3:1 using a microfluidic device (Dolomite SPMinjection pump, Fluidic-lab LNP B0 mixing chip) to obtain a suspension. The prepared suspension is subjected to ultrafiltration or dialysis using Tris salt buffer (20.5 mM, pH 7.5, containing 8.95% sucrose) to obtain the mRNA-LNP, and the ethanol concentration in the mRNA-LNP is about 0.7% (v / v).
[0416] The particle size and polydispersity coefficient (Malvern DLS) of the mRNA-LNP are detected, and the encapsulation efficiency (RiboGreen) is detected.
[0417] The results show that the part of ionizable lipids provided by the application can be well encapsulated in mRNA after being prepared into lipid nanoparticles, and most of the ionizable lipids prepared into lipid nanoparticles have an mRNA encapsulation rate of more than 97% and a PDI of less than 0.2.
[0418] Example 59 In vivo delivery and expression in animals
[0419] The in vivo delivery and test method of mice is as follows:
[0420] The mRNA of Firely Luciferase is encapsulated in LNP containing different ionizable lipids by using a microfluidic device (the ionizable lipids are the compounds prepared in the application, and the encapsulation is carried out according to the method in Example 58). After dialysis and concentration detection, the mRNA-LNP sample is diluted with Tris buffer, and the mRNA concentration of all samples is adjusted to 5 ng / uL. Each mouse (6-8 week old female Balb / c mice, Guangdong Yaoke) is injected with 0.2 mL of LNP sample, i.e. 1 ug per mouse. 3 hours after injection of the LNP sample, 15 mg / mL D-luciferin 0.2 mL is injected intraperitoneally. The mice are fully anesthetized with isoflurane, and 10-15 min after injection of D-luciferin, the mice are placed into a living imager for chemiluminescence photographic detection. The picture results are analyzed by Living Image 4.4 or 4.5 software.
[0421] The related characteristics of the lipid nanoparticles and the related results of the animal research test are shown in Table 1.

[0423] Note: A≥1.2; 0.8≤B<1.2; C<0.8.
[0424] The LNP composed of the ionizable lipids of the application has a good encapsulation rate for mRNA, and shows good delivery effect in animals, and the expression amount of mRNA after delivery is slightly better than or comparable to the positive control.
[0425] Example 60 PK and tissue distribution test in mice
[0426] According to the method in Example 58, mRNA-LNP samples containing different ionizable lipids are prepared, and the ionizable lipids of the positive control group are SM102.
[0427] Experimental process:
[0428] The test SD mice (male) were randomly divided into groups, each group of 3, and were intravenously administered 0.1 mg / kg of the mRNA-LNP sample described above. The animals were anesthetized with isoflurane and bled at 0.5, 3, 6, 24, and 48 h after administration, and were then sacrificed. After the whole blood sample was collected, it was placed in a centrifuge tube containing EDTA-K2, and was centrifuged at 1500-1600 g for 10 min to separate the plasma.
[0429] Collection of liver, spleen, kidney, heart, and lung tissues: After the tissues were removed, the collected tissues were rinsed with 2-8 °C pre-cooled physiological saline to remove the blood clots and contents on the surface and in the cavities. After washing, the water was absorbed with filter paper, and the liver tissue sample was weighed and placed in a grinding tube. 2-8 °C pre-cooled 50% methanol water was added at a ratio of 1:5 (weight-volume), and a rapid grinder was used for homogenization.
[0430] The concentration of lipids in the plasma and tissue samples of the SD mice was detected by LC-MS / MS, and the clearance rate of lipids in each tissue was calculated, as shown in Table 2.
[0431] The residual amount of ionizable lipids in the liver in Table 2 is the percentage ratio of the ionizable lipid content detected in the liver at different time points to the total amount of ionizable lipids in the total dose. The weight of the mice was about 20 g, and the weight of the liver was about 1 g.

[0433] The results show that the mRNA-LNP sample prepared using the part of the ionizable lipids in the present application has a good clearance rate in rats, which is comparable to or significantly better than the positive control.
