Abstract
Description
[0001] STABLE LIPID NANOPARTICLE COMPOSITIONS PREPARED WITHOUT POLYMERIC LIPIDS AND USES THEREOF CROSS-REFERENCE This application claims the benefit of, and priority to, U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 683,953, filed August 16, 2024, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, in its entirety. BACKGROUND The following discussion is merely provided to aid the reader in understanding the disclosure and is not admitted to describe or constitute prior art thereto. Delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids (e.g., mRNA) to cells remains a technological challenge due to the relative instability and low cell permeability of nucleic acid molecules. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), liposomes, lipoplexes, and other delivery vehicles have been shown to effectively deliver nucleic acids into cells and / or into intracellular compartments. However, there exists a need for delivery vehicles (e.g., lipid nanoparticles) that achieve improved stability, efficacy, safety, and expression of nucleic acid-encoded proteins, along with the flexibility to accommodate and deliver a variety of different types of therapeutic agents. It is against this backdrop that the compositions and methods of the present application were developed. SUMMARY To enhance their stability, prevent aggregation, reduce immunogenicity, and modulate protein adsorption to the LNP surface, polymeric lipids, including polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipids, are conventionally included in LNP compositions. However, in the context of post hoc loading (PHL), whereby mRNA is loaded into an empty LNP (eLNP), the presence of PEG- lipids within the composition was surprisingly discovered to detrimentally affect the properties of the eLNP drug substance.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure is related. For example, the Concise Dictionary of Biomedicine and Molecular Biology, Juo, Pei- Show, 2nd ed., 2002, CRC Press; The Dictionary of Cell and Molecular Biology, 3rd ed., 1999, Academic Press; and the Oxford Dictionary Of Biochemistry And Molecular Biology, Revised, 2000, Oxford University Press, provide one of skill with a general dictionary of many of the terms used in this disclosure. Units, prefixes, and symbols are denoted in their Système International de Unites (SI) accepted form. Numeric ranges are inclusive of the numbers defining the range. Where a range of values is recited, it is to be understood that each intervening integer value, and each fraction thereof, between the recited upper and lower limits of that range is also specifically disclosed, along with each subrange between such values. The upper and lower limits of any range can independently be included in or excluded from the range, and each range where either, neither or both limits are included is also encompassed within the present disclosure. Where a value is explicitly recited, it is to be understood that values which are about the same quantity or amount as the recited value are also within the scope of the present disclosure. Where a combination is disclosed, each subcombination of the elements of that combination is also specifically disclosed and is within the scope of the present disclosure. Conversely, where different elements or groups of elements are individually disclosed, combinations thereof are also disclosed. Where any element of an present disclosure is disclosed as having a plurality of alternatives, examples of that present disclosure in which each alternative is excluded singly or in any combination with the other alternatives are also hereby disclosed; more than one element of an present disclosure can have such exclusions, and all combinations of elements having such exclusions are hereby disclosed. The term "about" as used in connection with a numerical value throughout the specification and the claims refers to an interval of accuracy, familiar and acceptable to a person skilled in the art such as, for example, an interval of accuracy of ± 10 %, unless otherwise specified. Where ranges are given, endpoints are included. Furthermore, unless otherwise indicated or otherwise evident from the context and understanding of one of ordinary skill in the art, values that are expressed as ranges can assume any specific value or subrange within the stated ranges in different embodiments of the present disclosure, to the tenth of the unit of the lower limit of the range, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. As used herein, the term "administered in combination" or "combined administration" or “combination therapy” means that two or more agents are administered to a subject at the same time or within an interval such that there can be an overlap of an effect of each agent on the patient. In some embodiments, they are administered within about 60, 30, 15, 10, 5, or 1 minute of one another. In some embodiments, the administrations of the agents are spaced sufficiently closely together such that a combinatorial (e.g., a synergistic) effect is achieved. As used herein, the term “compound,” is meant to include all stereoisomers and isotopes of the structure depicted. As used herein, the term “stereoisomer” means any geometric isomer (e.g., cis- and trans- isomer), enantiomer, or diastereomer of a compound. The present disclosure encompasses any and all stereoisomers of the compounds described herein, including stereomerically pure forms (e.g., geometrically pure, enantiomerically pure, or diastereomerically pure) and enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures, e.g., racemates. Enantiomeric and stereomeric mixtures of compounds and means of resolving them into their component enantiomers or stereoisomers are well-known. “Isotopes” refers to atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers resulting from a different number of neutrons in the nuclei. For example, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium. Further, a compound, salt, or complex of the present disclosure can be prepared in combination with solvent or water molecules to form solvates and hydrates by routine methods. As used herein, the term “delivering” means providing an entity to a destination.

Administration of a nanoparticle composition to a mammal or mammalian cell can involve contacting one or more cells with the lipid nanoparticle composition. As used herein, "delivery agent" refers to any substance that facilitates, at least in part, the in vivo, in vitro, or ex vivo delivery of a polynucleotide to targeted cells. As used herein, the term "effective amount" of an agent is that amount sufficient to effect beneficial or desired results, and, as such, an "effective amount" depends upon the context in which it is being applied. For example, in the context of administering an agent that increases protein expression in a target tissue, an effective amount of an agent is, for example, an amount of mRNA expressing sufficient amount of said protein to increase protein expression in the target tissue, as compared to the protein expression observed without administration of the agent. The term "effective amount" can be used interchangeably with "effective dose." As used herein, "expression" of a nucleic acid sequence refers to one or more of the following events: (1) production of an mRNA template from a DNA sequence (e.g., by transcription); (2) processing of an mRNA transcript (e.g., by splicing, editing, 5′ cap formation, and / or 3′ end processing); (3) translation of an mRNA into a polypeptide or protein; and (4) post- translational modification of a polypeptide or protein. As used herein, a "linker" refers to a group of atoms, e.g., 10-1,000 atoms, and can be comprised of the atoms or groups such as, but not limited to, carbon, amino, alkylamino, oxygen, sulfur, sulfoxide, sulfonyl, carbonyl, and imine. The linker can be attached to a modified nucleoside or nucleotide on the nucleobase or sugar moiety at a first end, and to a payload, e.g., a detectable or therapeutic agent, at a second end. The linker can be of sufficient length as to not interfere with incorporation into a nucleic acid sequence. The linker can be used for any useful purpose, such as to form polynucleotide multimers (e.g., through linkage of two or more chimeric polynucleotides molecules or IVT polynucleotides) or polynucleotides conjugates, as well as to administer a payload, as described herein. Examples of chemical groups that can be incorporated into the linker include, but are not limited to, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, amido, amino, ether, thioether, ester, alkylene, heteroalkylene, aryl, or heterocyclyl, each of which can be optionally substituted, as described herein.

As used herein, the term “total lipids” refers to the collection of ionizable lipids, structural lipids, and phospholipids, and PEG lipids (to the extent of their existence) in a given composition (e.g., a population of lipid assemblies). In some embodiments, when a population of lipid assemblies is free of PEG lipid, the total lipids in the population is the total amount of the ionizable lipid, the structural lipid, and the phospholipid in the population. In some embodiments, when a population of lipid assemblies comprises a PEG lipid, the total lipids in the population is the total amount of the ionizable lipid, the structural lipid, the phospholipid, and the PEG lipid in the population. As used herein, the term “lipid amine” refers to a lipid molecule having one or more amine functional groups appended thereto. The amine functional group can include one or more primary (NH2), secondary (NHR), or tertiary amine groups (NR2), where R denotes a non- hydrogen group such as an alkyl group, carbocyclic group, heterocyclic group, or substituted derivatives of the same. The lipid amine include sterol amines, where the lipid portion of the molecule is a steroid, such as cholesterol or a related moiety. As used herein, the phrase, “moiety cleavable under physiological conditions” refers to, for example, an ester, amide, carbonate, carbamate, or urea moiety. As used herein, "patient" refers to a subject (e.g., a human subject) who seeks or is in need of treatment, requires treatment, is receiving treatment, will receive treatment, or a subject who is under care by a trained professional for a particular disease or condition.The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms that are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient," as used herein, refers any ingredient other than the compounds described herein (for example, a vehicle capable of suspending or dissolving the active compound) and having the properties of being substantially nontoxic and non-inflammatory in a patient. Excipients can include, for example: antiadherents, antioxidants, binders, coatings, compression aids, disintegrants, dyes (colors), emollients, emulsifiers, fillers (diluents), film formers or coatings, flavors, fragrances, glidants (flow enhancers), lubricants, preservatives, printing inks, sorbents, suspensing or dispersing agents, sweeteners, and waters of hydration. The present disclosure also includes salts of the compounds described herein. As used herein, "salts" refers to derivatives of the disclosed compounds wherein the parent compound is modified by converting an existing acid or base moiety to its salt form (e.g., by reacting the free base group with a suitable organic acid). Examples of salts include, but are not limited to, mineral or organic acid salts of basic residues such as amines; alkali or organic salts of acidic residues such as carboxylic acids; and the like. In some embodiments, the salt is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Lists of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17thed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1985, p. 1418, Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use, P.H. Stahl and C.G. Wermuth (eds.), Wiley-VCH, 2008, and Berge et al., Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 66, 1-19 (1977), each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The term "polynucleotide" as used herein refers to polymers of nucleotides of any length, including ribonucleotides, deoxyribonucleotides, analogs thereof, or mixtures thereof. This term refers to the primary structure of the molecule. Thus, the term includes triple-, double- and single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid ("DNA"), as well as triple-, double- and single-stranded ribonucleic acid ("RNA"). It also includes modified, for example by alkylation, and / or by capping, and unmodified forms of the polynucleotide. More particularly, the term "polynucleotide" includes polydeoxyribonucleotides (containing 2-deoxy-D-ribose), polyribonucleotides (containing D-ribose), including tRNA, rRNA, hRNA, siRNA and mRNA, whether spliced or unspliced, any other type of polynucleotide which is an N- or C-glycoside of a purine or pyrimidine base, and other polymers containing normucleotidic backbones, for example, polyamide (e.g., peptide nucleic acids "PNAs") and polymorpholino polymers, and other synthetic sequence-specific nucleic acid polymers providing that the polymers contain nucleobases in a configuration which allows for base pairing and base stacking, such as is found in DNA and RNA. In particular aspects, the polynucleotide comprises an mRNA. In other aspect, the mRNA is a synthetic mRNA. In some aspects, the synthetic mRNA comprises at least one unnatural nucleobase. In some aspects, all nucleobases of a certain class have been replaced with unnatural nucleobases (e.g., all uridines in a polynucleotide disclosed herein can be replaced with an unnatural nucleobase, e.g., 5-methoxyuridine). In some aspects, the polynucleotide (e.g., a synthetic RNA or a synthetic DNA) comprises only natural nucleobases, i.e., A (adenosine), G (guanosine), C (cytidine), and T (thymidine) in the case of a synthetic DNA, or A, C, G, and U (uridine) in the case of a synthetic RNA. The skilled artisan will appreciate that the T bases in the codon maps disclosed herein are present in DNA, whereas the T bases would be replaced by U bases in corresponding RNAs. For example, a codon-nucleotide sequence disclosed herein in DNA form, e.g., a vector or an in-vitro translation (IVT) template, would have its T bases transcribed as U based in its corresponding transcribed mRNA. In this respect, both codon-optimized DNA sequences (comprising T) and their corresponding mRNA sequences (comprising U) are considered codon-optimized nucleotide sequence of the present disclosure. A skilled artisan would also understand that equivalent codon-maps can be generated by replaced one or more bases with non-natural bases. Thus, e.g., a TTC codon (DNA map) would correspond to a UUC codon (RNA map), which in turn would correspond to a ΨΨC codon (RNA map in which U has been replaced with pseudouridine). Standard A-T and G-C base pairs form under conditions which allow the formation of hydrogen bonds between the N3-H and C4-oxy of thymidine and the N1 and C6-NH2, respectively, of adenosine and between the C2-oxy, N3 and C4-NH2, of cytidine and the C2- NH2, N′—H and C6-oxy, respectively, of guanosine. Thus, for example, guanosine (2-amino-6- oxy-9-β-D-ribofuranosyl-purine) can be modified to form isoguanosine (2-oxy-6-amino-9-β-D- ribofuranosyl-purine). Such modification results in a nucleoside base which will no longer effectively form a standard base pair with cytosine. However, modification of cytosine (1-β-D- ribofuranosyl-2-oxy-4-amino-pyrimidine) to form isocytosine (1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-2-amino-4- oxy-pyrimidine-) results in a modified nucleotide which will not effectively base pair with guanosine but will form a base pair with isoguanosine (U.S. Pat. No.5,681,702 to Collins et al.). Isocytosine is available from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, Mo.); isocytidine can be prepared by the method described by Switzer et al. (1993) Biochemistry 32:10489-10496 and references cited therein; 2′-deoxy-5-methyl-isocytidine can be prepared by the method of Tor et al., 1993, J. Am. Chem. Soc.115:4461-4467 and references cited therein; and isoguanine nucleotides can be prepared using the method described by Switzer et al., 1993, supra, and Mantsch et al., 1993, Biochem. 14:5593-5601, or by the method described in U.S. Pat. No.5,780,610 to Collins et al. Other nonnatural base pairs can be synthesized by the method described in Piccirilli et al., 1990, Nature 343:33-37, for the synthesis of 2,6-diaminopyrimidine and its complement (1- methylpyrazolo-[4,3]pyrimidine-5,7-(4H,6H)-dione. Other such modified nucleotide units which form unique base pairs are known, such as those described in Leach et al. (1992) J. Am. Chem. Soc.114:3675-3683 and Switzer et al., supra.

EXAMPLES Example 1. Effect of Downstream PEG Addition on LNP Stability To assess the effect of downstream PEG addition on LNP stability, LNPs were prepared according to the process illustrated in FIG. 3, wherein PEG lipid (PEG-DMG) was added in varied molar amounts at two selected points during the production process: (A) lipid solution before mixing (“Core”); and (B) after neutralization (post-addition (“PA”)). The rate of LNP diameter change per day (%) was determined using dynamic light scattering to measure particle diameter over the course of two weeks, followed by plotting the [((final diameter – initial diameter) / initial diameter) / days] at room temperature versus the molar amount of PEG-DMG added. As shown in FIG.4, the further downstream the addition of PEG-DMG, the less total PEG that was needed to achieve a physically stable formulation in terms of particle diameter. Thus, addition of PEG after nucleic acid addition (i.e., loading) appears to afford LNPs with greater stability, despite having no core PEG lipid. Referring to FIG.5, capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) characterization of the obtained LNPs reveals that addition of only core PEG lipid results in relatively high mobility and broader mobility peaks (higher polydispersity) for a given PEG-DMG amount, relative to downstream PEG lipid addition. Without being bound to any theory, it is hypothesized that this enhanced stability, less mobility and uniformity for LNPs with no core PEG lipid stems from a more significant population of surface PEG, relative to core PEG. Example 2. Effect of Downstream PEG Addition on mRNA Encapsulation Efficiency Referring to FIG.6, the encapsulation efficiency of an mRNA construct was analyzed as a function of molar amount of PEG-DMG added at specific time points during the LNP production process. LNPs were made by mixing pre-formed eLNP with an aqueous buffer containing mRNA-1273 construct at pH 5, at a ratio of 1:1, using a microTee. The mixed product was then pH adjusted using Tris buffer to pH 7.5. For the PA PEG arms, PEG buffer was added at different amounts post-pH adjustment. The encapsulation efficiency was measured by ribogreen. As shown in FIG.6, the encapsulation efficiency decreases with increasing molar amount of PEG-DMG. Without being bound to any particular theory, it is hypothesized that the decreased encapsulation efficiency results from the blocking effect of increased amounts of PEG-DMG at the LNP surface. Additionally, the encapsulation efficiency increases, for a given PEG-DMG concentration, the further downstream the PEG addition in the LNP production process. Example 3. Effect of Core PEG Lipid on Stability of Empty Lipid Nanoparticles Made at a Representative Scale. To assess the effect of adding core PEG lipid on stability of empty lipid nanoparticles at a representative scale, 0 mol% core PEG and 0.5 mol% core PEG LNPs were synthesized. TFF was performed to remove ethanol from the mixed product, buffer exchange into 5 mM Sodium Acetate, and concentrated. After TFF, the eLNP were diluted to target 74.5 mg / mL with cryoprotectant buffer and physical stability was monitored at RT and 5C post-F / T. LNP mixes were performed using a 1 mm Zepheros batch-mode unit operation utilizing mRNA-1273 construct. Post mix, the LNPs were neutralized using 120mM Tris, 323 g / L Sucrose, pH 8.3 (20% v / v) buffer which increases the buffer pH above the pKa of the ionizable lipid. A bolus (20% v / v) of PEG Buffer (20 mM Tris, 9 g / L PEG2000-DMG, pH 7.5) was then added to attain a desirable final target LNP PEG composition. For the 0% core PEG formulation, 2.5% PEG- DMG was added compared to our control of 2% PEG-DMG PA, for a final PEG content of 2.5% in both formulations. FIG. 7A and FIG.7B compare the stability (size) at 5℃ and room temperature, respectively, of eLNPs prepared with 0% and 0.5 mol% PEG-DMG at 5℃ over time. At 5℃, the obtained eLNPs showed comparable liquid stability. However, at room temperature, the eLNPs comprising 0.5 mol% PEG-DMG showed slightly better liquid stability after 15 days. The results indicate that eLNPs prepared with 0 mol% and 0.5 mol% PEG lipid have comparable stability, and eLNPs with 0% PEG are viable candidates as intermediate materials that can be held or stored and later loaded with an active agent (e.g., a therapeutic mRNA). To assess the robustness of the LNPs prepared with 0 mol% and 0.5 mol% core PEG, LNP formulations were prepared by subjecting the eLNP solutions to one freeze-thaw cycle at - 70℃ for 1 week. A first batch of eLNP was thawed then stored at room temperature and 5℃ for 28 days and size was measured and recorded at the 28-day mark. The second batch of eLNP which was subjected to one freeze-thaw cycle was loaded with nucleic acid immediately after thawing with no hold time. The loading step involved mixing the eLNPs with a nucleic acid solution comprising an mRNA construct, followed by neutralization and addition of 2 or 2.5 mol% PEG-DMG for a final PEG content of 2.5% in the final LNP formulation. The stability of the eLNPs and loaded LNPs is summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Average LNP Size for LNPs with 0 mol% and 5 mol% Core PEG FIG. 8 shows protein expression results achieved using the LNPs having 0 mol% core PEG is equivalent, within experimental error, to that achieved using LNPs having 0.5 mol% core PEG. This assay involved transfecting LNPs to HeLa cells at 40ng / well dose in 96 well plates. After 20-24h incubation, cells were lysed to extract the proteins. The proteins were reduced with DTT, alkylated by IAM, buffer exchanged into ammonium acetate, and digested into peptides with trypsin by overnight incubation at 37C. After the reaction is quenched by formic acid, the mixture was injected to HPLC-MS / MS for quantification of a fragment ion from the signature peptide that is specific to mRNA-1273 encoded spike protein. Moreover, eLNPs having 0 mol% and 0.5 mol% PEG-DMG achieved encapsulation efficiency of >97%. Thus, LNPs without core PEG lipid achieve stability, protein expression and encapsulation efficiency on par with LNPs having 0.5 mol% PEG lipid. Example 4. Evaluating PEG-less eLNP Robustness Across Different Stress Models To assess the robustness of PEG-less eLNPs prepared according to the methods of the present disclosure, eLNPs were produced by mixing lipid solutions comprising 0 mol% and 0.5 mol% PEG-DMG, followed by tangential flow filtration, to produce an eLNP solution similar to the method used in Example 3. The eLNP solutions where then subjected to a series of F / T cycles (up to 6 cycles) to determine the effect of core PEG concentration on particle size and polydispersity index (PDI). FIG.9A and FIG.9B show the variation in LNP size and PDI, respectively, with the number of F / T cycles. The data indicates that eLNPs with 0 mol% PEG lipid have better particle size and PDI stability across six freeze-thaw cycles than eLNPs with 0.5 mol% PEG lipid. FIG. 10A and FIG.10B show the effect of total lipid concentration on the robustness of eLNPs with 0 mol% PEG and 0.5 mol% PEG. The data shows that PEG-less eLNPs and eLNPs with 0.5 mol% PEG show better F / T stability at lower lipid concentrations than at higher concentrations. To further assess eLNP robustness, eLNPs were subjected to two different stress models: (1) a single freeze-thaw cycle, followed by holding for 3 days before mRNA loading; or (2) two freeze-thaw cycles before mRNA loading. The size data are summarized in Table 2. Table 2. eLNP Size and PDI Stability Across Two Different F / T Stress Models Lastly, loaded LNPs were produced from the eLNPs after the two different F / T treatments discussed above, using a method similar to that described in Example 2. The eLNPs were mixed with a nucleic acid solution comprising an mRNA construct, followed by a freeze- thaw cycle and clarification. Table 3 summarizes the diameter, PDI, and encapsulation efficiency observed for the loaded LNPs, as a function of PEG concentration and stress model. Table 3. Diameter, PDI, and Encapsulation Efficiency for LNPs Produced From eLNPs Subjected to F / T Stress The data shows that particle size and PDI are similar for LNPs produced using eLNPs with 0 mol% and 0.5 mol% PEG lipid. The LNPs with 0 mol% core PEG had larger sizes and lower PDIs than LNPs with 0.5 mol% core PEG. Comparable encapsulation efficiency was observed across all four treatment conditions. The effect on in vitro protein expression of core PEG concentration and stress treatment was compared for LNPs with 0 mol% core PEG and 0.5 mol% core PEG. FIG.11 shows expression for four different LNP lots. LNPs with 0 mol% core PEG afforded higher expression than the 0.5 mol% core PEG samples across both stress models. Further, the 0 mol% core PEG formulation outperformed the GMP control for both 2 × F / T and 3 day post F / T hold stress models. 2 × F / T stress model condition resulted in higher in vitro expression than the 3 day post- thaw hold condition. Lastly, the rate of PEG-DMG degradation was measured over time for four different LNP samples (0 mol% core PEG and 0.5 mol% core PEG, each with two different stress models). This assay was carried out using a stock solution of esterase from porcine liver prepared at a concentration of 0.5 U / µL in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer. The LNP samples were mixed with the esterase stock solution and Tris-HCl buffer to achieve final concentrations of 0.2 mg / mL PEG- DMG and 0.05 U / µL esterase. The samples were incubated at room temperature and monitored at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 24 hours. At each time point, a 100 µL aliquot from the reaction mixture was quenched with 400 µL of ethanol to inhibit the enzyme activity. Following completion of the enzymatic digestion, the samples were prepared for analysis by HPLC-CAD to obtain remaining PEG content. PEG-DMG degradation kinetics were analyzed using one-phase decay nonlinear regression in GraphPad to determine the rate constant (K) for comparison of PEG-DMG accessibility across samples. As shown in FIG. 12, LNP samples for which the eLNPs had undergone the F / T + hold exhibited a higher PEG-DMG degradation rate than LNPs for which the eLNPs had undergone multiple F / T cycles. Thus, there appears to be more PEG shedding from the surface after multiple F / T cycles. Further, LNPs with 0 mol% core PEG showed a higher degradation rate than LNPs with 0.5 mol% core PEG, which may stem from a higher amount of accessible surface PEG for LNPs with 0 mol% core PEG when compared to LNPs with 0.5 mol% core PEG.
