Abstract
Description
Ionized lipids for nucleic acid delivery
[0001] This disclosure relates to ionized lipids for nucleic acid delivery.
[0002] In recent years, research and development of nucleic acid drugs containing nucleic acids as active ingredients has been conducted. These nucleic acids include nucleic acids that induce sequence-specific gene expression repression in vivo, such as siRNA (small interfering RNA), miRNA (micro RNA), shRNA (short hairpin RNA, or small hairpin RNA) expression vectors, and antisense oligonucleotides. Research is also being conducted on nucleic acid drugs that express target proteins, such as mRNA encoding the target protein, within cells.
[0003] Among these nucleic acid drugs, nucleic acids, while chemically stable, have drawbacks for therapeutic use, such as being easily degraded by RNAs (ribonucleases) in plasma and having difficulty penetrating cell membranes on their own. To address these problems, it is known that encapsulating nucleic acids such as siRNA and mRNA within particles containing ionized lipids (lipid particles, especially lipid nanoparticles; LNPs) protects the encapsulated nucleic acids from degradation in plasma and enables them to penetrate lipid-soluble cell membranes. For example, Patent Documents 1 to 8 report ionized lipids used for the delivery of nucleic acid drugs. In recent years, the practical application of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 has accelerated the development of nucleic acid drugs utilizing LNP technology, and development of LNP preparations for use in the treatment of a variety of diseases, not just vaccines, is progressing.

Examples of solvents include tetrahydrofuran (THF), methylene chloride, chloroform, toluene, hexane, ethyl acetate, and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In schemes 1-3, tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) groups are used as hydroxy protecting groups for compounds (a9) and (a10), but the protecting group is not limited to TBDMS, and conventional hydroxy protecting groups well known to those skilled in the art can be used. (Esterification) Next, alcohol (a7) and dicarboxylic acid monoester (a10) are reacted in the presence of a coupling agent to obtain dicarboxylic acid diester (a11). The reaction conditions, including the coupling agent and base, are the same as those for (esterification) in Scheme 1-1. (Deprotection) Next, the hydroxy protecting group (TBDMS group) of the dicarboxylic acid diester (a11) is deprotected to obtain the diester alcohol (a4). Deprotection of the TBDMS group can be carried out, for example, by reacting it with a fluoride salt such as tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) in an organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran.

Examples of bases include N-methylmorpholine (NMM), triethylamine (TEA), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA), 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP), pyridine, picoline, and lutidine. Next, nitrophenyl carbonate compound (a12) and diol compound (a13) are reacted in the presence of a base to obtain dicarbonate compound (a14). The reaction conditions, such as the base and solvent, are the same as described above. Alternatively, carbonate formation may be carried out by reacting an alcohol (a1), a diol compound (a13), and a phosgene (e.g., triphosgene) in the presence of a base, similar to the method of (carbonate formation) in Scheme 2-2 described later. (Deprotection) Subsequently, the hydroxy protecting group (benzyl (Bn) group) of the dicarbonate compound (a14) is deprotected to obtain a dicarbonate alcohol (a4). Deprotection of the Bn group can be carried out, for example, by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a metal catalyst such as palladium / carbon. Also, in this Scheme 1-4, R 1 and R 2 We have described a method for producing the intermediate compound (a4) when the same, but for example, R 1 and R 2 When producing different compounds (a4), for example, instead of the diol compound (a13), a compound in which one of the hydroxyl groups of the diol compound (a13) is protected by a protecting group is used. 1 A nitrophenyl carbonate compound (a12) containing is reacted to form a carbonate, and then the protecting group is deprotected, and then R 2 A method can be used in which a nitrophenyl carbonate compound (a12) containing the above is further subjected to a carbonate formation reaction.

[0036] [Scheme 2-2] Scheme 2-2 is a reaction scheme for obtaining a compound of formula (I) in which Y is -OC(O)O- from an intermediate (a4) (diester alcohol or dicarbonate alcohol).

[0037] In schemes 2-1 and 2-2, by using starting materials with controlled stereochemistry (for example, the stereochemistry of the carbon atom at position 3 of the pyrrolidine ring) as P-COOH (carboxylic acid) or its derivative (a15) or P-OH (alcohol) or its derivative (a16), it is possible to control the stereochemistry of P in the compound of formula (I).

Furthermore, after introducing P in schemes 2-1 and 2-2, modification of P (for example, introduction of an alkyl group substituted with a hydroxyl group) may be performed.

Compound (a17) may be obtained by reacting formic acid with benzyl acrylate as in Example 9-1 described later, or by protecting the carboxyl group of the oxodicarboxylic acid (a2) with a protecting group (e.g., Bn). (Reduction) First, the oxo group (ketone) of compound (a17) is reduced to a hydroxyl group in the presence of a reducing agent to obtain alcohol (a18). The reaction conditions, such as the reducing agent and solvent, are the same as in (reduction) of scheme 1-1. (Esterification: Introduction of P) Next, alcohol (a18) and P-COOH (carboxylic acid) or its derivative (hydrohalide salt, etc.) (a15) are esterified in the presence of a condensing agent and a base to obtain ester (a19). The same condensing agent and base as in (esterification) of step 1-1 can be used. (Deprotection) Next, the carboxyl protecting group (benzyl (Bn) group) of ester (a19) is deprotected to obtain esterdiol (a20). Deprotection of the Bn group can be carried out, for example, by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a metal catalyst such as palladium / carbon.

The lipid complex of this embodiment contains the above-mentioned ionized lipids in an amount of, for example, 10 to 100 mol%, 20 to 90 mol%, or 40 to 80 mol%, based on the total lipids contained in the lipid complex. The ionized lipids can be used individually or in a mixture of two or more types. The lipid complex of this embodiment may also contain neutral lipids in an amount of, for example, 0 to 50 mol%, 0 to 40 mol%, or 0 to 30 mol%, based on the total lipids contained in the lipid complex.
[0062] The lipid complex of this embodiment may contain polyethylene glycol-modified lipids in amounts of, for example, 0 to 30 mol%, 0 to 20 mol%, or 0 to 10 mol%, based on the total lipids contained in the lipid complex.
[0063] The lipid complex of this embodiment may contain sterols in amounts of, for example, 0 to 90 mol%, 10 to 80 mol%, or 20 to 50 mol%, based on the total lipids contained in the lipid complex.

Ionized lipids are necessary for encapsulating nucleic acids and for efficiently delivering nucleic acids into target cells. The presence of neutral lipids and sterols in addition to ionized lipids allows for the formation of stable particles encapsulating nucleic acids. Furthermore, since polyethylene glycol-modified lipids can suppress particle aggregation, the simultaneous presence of these four types of lipids allows for the formation of stable particles encapsulating nucleic acids while suppressing particle aggregation.
[0065] In some embodiments, the lipid complex is composed of ionized lipids / neutral lipids / polyethylene glycol-modified lipids / sterols as lipids, and the molar ratio of the lipids may be, for example, 10-99 / 0-50 / 0-30 / 0-90, 20-90 / 0-40 / 0-20 / 10-80, or 30-70 / 0-30 / 0-10 / 20-50. In some embodiments, the molar ratio of ionized lipids / neutral lipids / polyethylene glycol-modified lipids / sterols in the lipid complex may be 10-99 / 1-50 / 1-30 / 1-90, 20-90 / 1-40 / 1-20 / 10-80, or 30-70 / 1-30 / 1-10 / 20-50.

[0068] In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of suppressing nonspecific adsorption and immune responses, it is preferable that the lipid complex has almost no surface charge in an environment with a pH of approximately 7.4, such as in blood. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of improving the fusion efficiency with the endosomal membrane when taken up into cells by endocytosis, it is preferable that the lipid complex is positively charged in a low pH environment (e.g., 3.5 to 7.0).
[0069] The nucleic acid encapsulation rate in the lipid complex was measured, for example, using Quant-iT RiboGreen RNA Reagent (Invitrogen, Cat#R11491). Specifically, the nucleic acid concentration (A) measured by dilution with RNA-Free Water was taken as the nucleic acid present in the solution outside the lipid complex, and the nucleic acid concentration (B) measured by dilution with 1% Triton X-100 was taken as the total nucleic acid concentration in the formulation to calculate the encapsulation rate. Encapsulation rate (%) = 100 - (A / B) × 100 In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encapsulation rate (%) in the lipid complex calculated by the above method was higher than, for example, 80%, 85%, or 90%. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid encapsulation rate (%) in the lipid complex was higher than 90%.
[0070] In some embodiments, the lipid complex has a polydispersity index (PDI) of less than 0.3 (particularly less than 0.2, and especially less than 0.1).

[0088] Through electrostatic interactions between water-soluble nucleic acids and the ionized lipids described above, and hydrophobic interactions between lipids, lipid complexes can be formed in which nucleic acids are encapsulated within lipid-composed particles. For example, by reducing the content of polar organic solvents in the mixture, the solubility of a lipid component comprising (I) the ionized lipids described above and (II) at least one lipid selected from the group consisting of neutral lipids, polyethylene glycol-modified lipids, and sterols is changed in an aqueous solution containing a polar organic solvent, thereby forming a lipid complex, and obtaining a lipid complex whose interior is filled with a core of nucleic acids and lipids, and a composition containing said lipid complex.
[0089] In the method of this embodiment, first, in step (a), a mixture is obtained by mixing an aqueous solution containing a polar organic solvent, in which (I) the ionized lipid described above and (II) at least one lipid selected from the group consisting of neutral lipids, polyethylene glycol-modified lipids, and sterols are dissolved, with (III) an aqueous solution containing nucleic acid. The concentration of the polar organic solvent in the aqueous solution containing the polar organic solvent is not particularly limited, as long as the conditions for the dissolution of lipid molecules are met even after mixing with the aqueous solution of nucleic acid are met. For example, the concentration of the polar organic solvent in the aqueous solution containing the polar organic solvent in step (a) may be 0.1 to 60% by weight. The aqueous solution containing nucleic acid can be obtained, for example, by dissolving nucleic acid in an acidic buffer. Examples of polar organic solvents for dissolving lipids include polar organic solvents such as alcohols, and may be, for example, ethanol, isopropanol, chloroform, or tert-butanol. Examples of acidic buffers for dissolving nucleic acid include sulfuric acid buffer, phosphate buffer, phthalate buffer, tartaric acid buffer, citrate buffer, formate buffer, oxalate buffer, and acetate buffer. Next, in step (b), the content of the polar organic solvent is reduced by adding water or the like to the above mixture. This allows for the formation of a lipid complex. To efficiently form the lipid complex, it is preferable to rapidly reduce the content of the polar organic solvent. For example, the concentration of the polar organic solvent in the final aqueous solution containing the polar organic solvent in step (b) may be 0 to 5% by weight. Alternatively, the above mixture obtained in step (a) may be removed by dialysis to remove the polar organic solvent and the solvent may be replaced with a pharmaceutically acceptable medium. Since the content of the polar organic solvent in the solution decreases during the dialysis process, this allows for the formation of a lipid complex.

In addition, the mRNA concentration (B) measured after diluting the composition with 1% (v / v) Triton X-100 was taken as the total mRNA concentration in the lipid complex. Subsequently, the embedding rate of mRNA in lipid complexes was calculated using the following formula (F1). Embedding rate (%) = 100 - (A / B) × 100 (F1) 2. The average particle size and polydispersity index of the lipid complex were measured using a particle size analyzer (ZETASIZER Nano ZS, Malvern). The results are shown in Tables 1 and 3. Table 1 shows the analysis results of the lipid complex composition containing Firefly Luciferase mRNA (SEQ ID NO: 1) prepared in Preparation Example 1. This composition was used in Test Example 1 described below. Table 3 shows the analysis results of the lipid complex composition containing Human Erythropoietin mRNA (SEQ ID NO: 2) prepared in Preparation Example 2. This composition was used in Test Example 2 described below.
[0393] As described above, the lipid complexes prepared using the ionized lipids of this disclosure were found to have excellent stability, with nucleic acid encapsulation rates all exceeding 90% and polydispersity indexes of less than 0.1.
[0394] C. Test Examples [Test Example 1: Evaluation of the protein production effect of the composition in mice] The method described in Non-Patent Literature 1 (Tanaka et al., ACS Nano 2023, 17, 2588-2601) was used as a reference. The composition obtained in Preparation Example 1 was diluted with physiological saline so that the concentration of Firefly Luciferase mRNA encapsulated in the lipid complex was 20 μg / mL. Each composition was administered intravenously to ICR mice (female, n=4) at a dose of approximately 10 mL / kg, and liver sections were collected 24 hours later. Approximately 10 times the weight of the liver section was added to the liver section in the form of 1x Glo Lysis Buffer (Promega, catalogog #E2661) and zirconia beads (Biomedic Science, catalogog #ZZ50-0003), and the mixture was homogenized using a multi-bead shocker (QIAGEN). After centrifugation to remove tissue membrane components, the Luciferase protein in the supernatant was reacted with Steady-Glo Luciferase Assay System (Promega, catalogog #E2510) and luminescence was detected. Furthermore, the total protein concentration in the supernatant was quantified using BCA reagents (Thermo Scientific, catalogog #23231, 23232, 23234), and the Luciferin emission intensity was calculated by dividing this value by the obtained emission intensity. The Luciferin emission intensity of the C1 composition administration group was set to 1.0 (100%), and the relative values for each composition administration group were calculated. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0395] The results of the above Test Example 1 demonstrate that compositions using the ionized lipids (E1-E57) of this disclosure are capable of releasing nucleic acids into the cytoplasm. Compositions using the ionized lipids (E1-E57) of this disclosure exhibited a luminescence intensity of 200% or more, and furthermore, the luminescence intensity was 1.5 times higher than that of compositions using C1 or C2 as the ionized lipid in mice, suggesting a high efficacy in producing Luciferase protein. This result indicates that the ionized lipids of this disclosure exhibit excellent mRNA delivery efficiency. In particular, compositions using ionized lipids (E1, E2, E4-E6, E8-E22, E24, E26-E41, E43, E45-E47, E49, E50, E53-E57) exhibited a luminescence intensity of 250% or more, while compositions using ionized lipids (E1, E2, E4, E6, E8-E12, E14-E22, E24, E26-E39, E41, E43, E46, E47, E49, E53-E57) exhibited a luminescence intensity of 300% or more, demonstrating particularly excellent mRNA delivery efficiency. Furthermore, E1, E4, E6, E12, E13, E16, E17, and E29 are preferred as ionized lipids because they can form lipid particles with low toxicity and / or excellent stability during refrigerated storage, and E1, E4, E6, E12, and E17 are more preferred, with E4, E6, and E17 being particularly preferred.
[0396] [Test Example 2: Evaluation of the protein production effect of the composition in monkeys] The composition using ionized lipid E1 prepared in Preparation Example 2 was diluted with physiological saline so that the concentration of Human Erythropoietin mRNA encapsulated in the lipid complex was 40 μg / mL. The composition was administered to cynomolgus monkeys (male, n=2) by intravenous drip infusion at a dose of 5 mL / kg over 60 minutes. Blood was collected using a syringe immediately before administration, and 2, 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours after administration. Serum was separated from the blood by centrifugation, and the concentration of Human Erythropoietin protein in the serum was quantified using U-PLEX Human EPO Assay (Meso Scale Discovery, catalogog #K151VXK). The results are shown in Table 4.

[0400] [Test Example 3: Evaluation of Aldehyde Production in Ethanol Solution of Ionized Lipids] The method described in Non-Patent Literature 2 (Hashiba et al., Commun. Biol., 2024, 7(1), 556) was generally followed. Specifically, a 0.25 mM 4-hydroxyadiazole hydroxylazene (Tokyo Chemical Industries, catalogo #A5557; hereafter referred to as NBD-H) solution (powder dissolved in acetonitrile containing 0.025% (v / v) trifluoroacetic acid) was prepared. 10 μL of ethanol solution containing 40 mM ionized lipid was mixed with 190 μL of NBD-H solution and reacted at room temperature for 60 minutes. The fluorescence values of lipid mixtures were measured under the conditions of Excitation = 470 nm and Emission = 550 nm. Similarly, the fluorescence values of an ethanol solution without ionized lipids were measured as background, and these values were subtracted. If the fluorescence value was below the background level, it was classified as Not Detected (N.D.). The results are shown in Table 5.
[0401]
[0402] The ionized lipids E1 and E6 of this disclosure were found to have lower fluorescence values than comparative compound lipid C3. This suggests that they produce less aldehyde, an impurity. Comparative compound lipid C3 is a compound used as a lipid component in Alnylam's lipid nanoparticle formulation "Onpattro®". Non-patent document 2 shows a negative correlation between the amount of aldehyde produced by ionized lipids and the activity (storage stability at 4°C) of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Since the ionized lipids of this disclosure produce less aldehyde compared to comparative compound lipid C3, it is suggested that they have superior retention of the activity (storage stability) of the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
[0403] This disclosure provides an ionized lipid capable of releasing nucleic acids into the cytoplasm.
