AI Technical Summary
Existing symmetrical cationic lipids containing disulfide bonds have a narrow range of applicability in electrostatic interactions with nucleic acid drugs, and the lipid arrangement is only slightly affected after the disulfide bonds break, resulting in low drug delivery efficiency.
An asymmetric cationic lipid containing disulfide bonds was designed, whose structure connects two lipid monomers with different structures through a disulfide bond. One lipid monomer has a tertiary amine group on its side chain, while the other lipid monomer has a tertiary amine group only on its main chain. This structure can bind to nucleic acid drugs over a wider pH range and promote the rearrangement of lipid components after intracellular cleavage, thereby improving drug release efficiency.
This broadens the adjustable range of drug loading, improves the systemic circulation stability and drug delivery efficiency of drug-loaded nanoparticles, promotes the endosome escape of nucleic acid drugs, and enhances the immune or therapeutic effects of drug formulations.

Abstract
Description
An asymmetric cationic lipid containing disulfide bonds and its applications Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of drug delivery, specifically relating to a pharmaceutical carrier cationic lipid, and more particularly to an asymmetric cationic lipid containing disulfide bonds and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Cationic lipids are an important component of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) drug delivery systems, particularly suitable for delivering negatively charged drugs, such as nucleic acids. To avoid excessive interference with biological membranes and resulting in significant toxicity during systemic circulation, cationic lipids used for drug delivery typically employ structures that are electrically neutral under physiological conditions and positively charged, capable of ionization at low pH levels. Tertiary amine groups, as typical ionizable groups, have been used in various common cationic lipid structures, such as SM-102 and ALC-0315.
[0003] The specific structure of cationic lipids, including the ionizable head, hydrophobic tail, linker, and side groups, all affect the drug delivery efficiency of LNPs to varying degrees. Whether LNPs can fully release the drug within cells is one of the key factors influencing delivery efficiency. Glutathione (GSH) is an important reducing agent in cells, and its concentration inside cells is significantly higher than outside. Existing technologies have introduced reduction-responsive disulfide bonds into cationic structures to give them intracellular degradable properties. For example, two lipid fragments can be linked together by a disulfide bond to form a cationic lipid with two ionizable parts. The breaking of the disulfide bond in the reducing environment of the cell destabilizes the LNP structure, thereby promoting the release of the encapsulated substance. Specific examples include the disulfide-bonded cationic lipids disclosed in CN107406396A, CN103930398A, and EP4130282A1.
[0004] Currently disclosed cationic lipids formed by linking two lipid monomers via a disulfide bond are mostly symmetrical structures, but these structures have some limitations. Firstly, the cationic groups in these types of cationic lipids that interact electrostatically with nucleic acid drugs are of a single type, resulting in a narrow pH range suitable for encapsulation. Secondly, the two lipid products formed after the disulfide bond breaks in symmetrical structures are identical, having limited impact on the lipid arrangement in LNPs and potentially failing to produce sufficient destabilization.
[0005] To solve the above problems, substantial structural improvements are needed to the cationic lipids containing disulfide bonds. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide novel asymmetric cationic lipids containing disulfide bonds, as well as compositions and pharmaceutical formulations containing the cationic lipids for use in the field of drug delivery.

[0025] This application also provides another implementation scheme:
[0026] A lipid pharmaceutical composition comprising a lipid composition and a pharmaceutical active ingredient, wherein the lipid composition comprises an asymmetric cationic lipid containing disulfide bonds as shown in formula (1).
[0027] This application also provides another implementation scheme:
[0028] A lipid pharmaceutical composition formulation comprising the aforementioned lipid pharmaceutical composition and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or excipient.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] The cationic lipid structure of this application can be viewed as two lipid monomers with different structures linked by a disulfide bond; specifically, one lipid monomer contains a tertiary amine group on its side chain, while the other lipid monomer contains a tertiary amine group only in its main chain. Compared with symmetrical structures containing a single disulfide bond, the asymmetric cationic lipid of this application contains two distinct ionizable moieties, enabling it to bind to nucleic acid drugs via electrostatic interactions over a wider pH range. This not only makes drug-loaded nanoparticles easier to prepare but also improves their systemic circulation stability.
[0031] The asymmetric cationic lipids of this application can also broaden the adjustable range of drug loading. Symmetrical structures usually require the ionization of both identical heads under specific pH conditions to recombine with nucleic acids via electrostatic interactions; in contrast, asymmetric structures can obtain one or two cationized groups (or even more, such as structures with multiple tertiary amine groups) by adjusting the pH conditions of the nanoparticle preparation process, thereby meeting different drug loading requirements.
[0032] When disulfide bonds break within the cell, the asymmetric cationic lipids of this application initially degrade into two separate cationic lipid products with different ionizable groups. Because they are no longer bound by covalent bonds, and the interactions between the different ionizable groups and the nucleic acid drug differ, the independent cationic lipid products tend to redistribute, promoting the rearrangement of the LNP components. Specifically, the rearrangement of lipid components on the LNP surface can, to some extent, promote fusion with the endosomal membrane, and the cationic lipids originally located inside will migrate more to the surface and interact with the endosomal membrane, accelerating its destabilization and ultimately promoting drug release. In other words, the asymmetric cationic lipids of this application enable nucleic acid drugs to more effectively escape from the endosomal membrane, improving drug delivery efficiency and thus enhancing the immunogenic or therapeutic effects of the drug formulation.

Each item in the combination can be one or more independent specific forms. Combinations formed by linking bases are assumed to be formed by the linking bases being interconnected. Combinations of linking keys with any linking base remain the linking base itself.
[0040] In this application, the "linking bond" contains no atoms and serves only a connecting function. Specifically, when the selection range of a certain group includes the linking bond, it means that the group can be replaced by the linking bond. When one end of the linking bond points into the ring, for example... This linker bond can be derived from any suitable cyclic atom.
[0041] In this application, a "linking group" is a group containing two, three, or more connecting ends, and is referred to as a divalent, trivalent, or higher-valent linking group depending on the number of connecting ends.

[0358] Table 1 - Summary of formulations of various lipid compositions and the particle size and encapsulation efficiency of the LNP-mRNA prepared from them.
[0359] Example 30: Nanoparticle Size and Measurement
[0360] According to the literature (Hassett et al., J. Controlled Release 2021, 335, 237-246), LNP formulations encapsulating nucleic acid drugs exhibit better efficacy when the particle size is between 60 and 150 nm. In this embodiment, the particle size of the LNP-mRNA prepared in Example 29 was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS), and the results are summarized in Table 1. The measured LNP-mRNA showed high size uniformity, with a PDI of less than 0.3 for all samples. The experimental results show that the LNP-mRNA prepared using the asymmetric cationic lipids of this application has a particle size of 60-80 nm, which is within the particle size range that can achieve good efficacy.
[0361] Example 31: Encapsulation efficiency determination
[0362] The LNP-mRNA prepared in Example 29 was ultracentrifuged (4℃, 60,000 rpm, 1 h) using an ultracentrifuge. The concentration of unencapsulated Fluc-mRNA in the supernatant was detected using a nucleic acid quantification instrument, and the encapsulation efficiency of LNP for Fluc-mRNA was calculated. The results are summarized in Table 1. The experimental results show that the encapsulation efficiency of lipid nanoparticles prepared using the asymmetric cationic lipids of this application is 90-96%, indicating that the LNP of this application has a high encapsulation efficiency for nucleic acid drugs.
[0363] Example 32: Serum stability evaluation
[0364] The LNP-mRNA prepared in Example 29 was added to a culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and stirred at 37°C. Samples were taken periodically to measure the particle size change of the LNP-mRNA. The experimental results showed that the particle size of the lipid nanoparticles prepared using the asymmetric cationic lipids of this application did not change significantly within 7 days, with all particle size changes being less than 6%, indicating that the LNP-mRNA pharmaceutical composition prepared using the cationic lipids of this application has excellent serum stability.
[0365] Example 33: Cytotoxicity Evaluation
[0366] Prepare DMEM high-glucose complete medium (containing 10% FBS). Prepare working solutions of the sample (LNP-mRNA prepared in Example 29) using complete medium at concentrations of 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, and 0.3 μg / 100 μL, and store for later use. Take 293T cells in logarithmic growth phase and administer at a rate of 7 × 10⁻⁶ cells / year. 3 100 μL / well was seeded into 96-well plates. Both the control and sample groups had three replicates. After incubation for 24 h in a 5% CO2, 37°C incubator, the original culture medium was retained. The control group received 100 μL / well of complete culture medium, and the sample group received 100 μL / well of working solution. After another 24 h of incubation, 100 μL / well of medium containing 10% CCK-8 was added, and the plates were incubated for 2 h in a 5% CO2, 37°C incubator. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader. The relative viability of the cells was calculated using the following formula:
[0367] Relative activity % = (sample absorbance value - background absorbance value) / (control group absorbance value - background absorbance value) × 100%; where the background absorbance value is the absorbance with only CCK-8 reagent and culture medium added.
[0368] Experimental results showed that the lipid drug nanoparticles prepared using the asymmetric cationic lipids of this application did not produce significant cytotoxicity at any of the five concentration gradients, and the cell survival rate was greater than 95%. Figure 1 shows the cytotoxicity test results of L-6.
[0369] Example 34: Evaluation of in vitro transfection effect
[0370] The LNP-mRNA prepared in Example 29 was added to the culture medium to prepare the required dose. Using 293T cells as a cell model, a seeding density of 6000 cells / well was established, and the cell suspension (100 μL / well) was seeded into 96-well plates with black borders and clear bottoms. After seeding, the cells were incubated in a cell culture incubator for 24 h, and then 0.2 μg of Fluc-mRNA was administered per well. A positive control group was set up containing LNP-mRNAs containing Lipid-1, Lipid-2, Lipid-3, and Lipid-4, and an experimental group was set up containing LNP-mRNAs containing asymmetric cationic lipids from Examples 1 to 28. A blank control group was also set up, with the corresponding dose of free Fluc-mRNA added. 24 hours after transfection, the old culture medium was removed and replaced with a new culture medium containing D-fluorescein sodium (1.5 mg / mL) substrate. After incubation for 5 minutes, bioluminescence was detected using a microplate reader; stronger fluorescence indicated that more Fluc-mRNA had entered the cytoplasm and completed translation. The experimental results are shown in Table 2, where the relative fluorescence intensity is the ratio of the fluorescence intensity of each group to that of the blank control group. The LNP-mRNA drug compositions prepared in this application all exhibit excellent in vitro transfection effects, meaning that the LNPs in the experimental groups are all effective nucleic acid delivery carriers. This may be because the asymmetric cationic lipids in this application contain two different ionizable moieties. When the disulfide bond breaks in the cell, it initially degrades into two separate cationic lipid products with different ionizable groups. These independent cationic lipid products tend to redistribute, allowing the nucleic acid drug to more effectively escape from the endosome and improving drug delivery efficiency.

[0372] Example 35: Evaluation of in vivo transfection effect
[0373] L-6 was injected into 6-8 week old female BALB / c mice via tail vein at a dose of 10 μg / mouse, and in vivo fluorescence imaging was performed 6, 12, and 24 hours after administration. After imaging at the last time point, the mice were euthanized, and imaging of the major organs (heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys) was performed. 0.2 mL of D-fluorescein sodium (15 mg / mL) was injected intraperitoneally 10-15 min before imaging. The experimental results are shown in Figure 2. The lipid drug nanoparticles prepared from the asymmetric cationic lipids of this application can achieve efficient in vivo delivery of nucleic acid drugs, and the LNP-mRNA drug composition delivered into the body is mainly distributed in the liver and spleen.
