Described are short interfering nucleic acid (siNA) molecules comprising modified nucleotides, compositions, and uses thereof.
RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological response to double-stranded RNA that mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes. The short interfering nucleic acids (siNA), such as siRNA, have been developed for RNAi therapy to treat a variety of diseases. For instance, RNAi therapy has been proposed for the treatment of metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and pathogenic infections (See e.g., Rondindone, Biotechniques, 2018, 40(4S), doi.org/10.2144/000112163, Boudreau and Davidson, Curr Top Dev Biol, 2006, 75:73-92, Chalbatani et al., Int J Nanomedicine, 2019, 14:3111-3128, Arbuthnot, Drug News Perspect, 2010, 23(6):341-50, and Chernikov et. al., Front. Pharmacol., 2019, doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2019.00444, each of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety). However, major limitations of RNAi therapy are the ability to effectively deliver siRNA to target cells and the degradation of the siRNA.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an emerging global health problem and a potential risk factor for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an advanced form of NAFLD, is a predisposing factor for development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The increasing prevalence of NASH emphasizes the need for novel therapeutic approaches. 17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 13 also known as 17β-HSD type 13 (or HSD17B13 or HSD17β13) is an enzyme that is enriched in hepatocytes, where it localizes to subcellular lipid droplets. HSD17B13 is significantly up-regulated in the liver of patients with NAFLD and NASH and enhances lipogenesis. The role of HSD17B13 in lipogenesis appears to be mediated by its retinoid dehydrogenase activity. Reduction in HSD17B13 protein levels could lead to decreased levels of ALT and AST and improved liver histology of NAFLD and NASH.
The present disclosure provides siNA molecules that target HSD17B13 to reduce or inhibit the production of a hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. The siNA molecules comprise optimized combinations and numbers of modified nucleotides, nucleotide lengths, design (e.g., blunt ends or overhangs, internucleoside linkages, conjugates), and modification patterns that exhibit improved delivery and stability.

This section presents a detailed description of the many different aspects and embodiments that are representative of the disclosure. This description is by way of several exemplary illustrations of varying detail and specificity. Other features and advantages of these embodiments are apparent from the additional descriptions provided herein, including the different examples. The provided examples illustrate different components and methodology useful in practicing various embodiments of the disclosure. The examples are not intended to limit the claimed disclosure. Based on the present disclosure, the ordinarily skilled artisan can identify and employ other components and methodology useful for practicing the present disclosure.
The present disclosure will be better understood with reference to the following definitions.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the meaning commonly understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs.
The terms “a” and “an” as used herein mean “one or more” and include the plural unless the context is inappropriate.
The term “about” as used herein when referring to a measurable value (e.g., weight, time, and dose) is meant to encompass variations, such as ±10%, ±5%, ±1%, or ±0.1% of the specified value.
Except where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about,” whether or not the term “about” is present in front of the number. Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present disclosure. At the very least, and not to be considered as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should be construed in light of the number of significant digits and ordinary rounding conventions.
Additionally, the disclosure of numerical ranges within this specification is considered to be a disclosure of all numerical values and ranges within that range. For example, if a range is from about 1 to about 50, it is deemed to include, for example, 1, 50, 7, 34, 46.1, 23.7, or any other value or range within the range. Moreover, as used herein, the term “at least” includes the stated number, e.g., “at least 50” includes 50.
As a general matter, compositions specifying a percentage are specifying a percentage by weight unless otherwise specified. Further, if a variable is not accompanied by a definition, then the previous definition of the variable controls.
The term “including” is used herein to mean, and is used interchangeably with, the phrase “including, but not limited to”.
As used herein, the terms “siRNA” and “siRNA molecule” and “siNA” and “siNA molecule” are used interchangeably and refer to short (or small) interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA), including chemically modified RNA, which may be single-stranded or double-stranded. As used herein, the siRNA may comprise modified nucleotides, including modifications at the sugar, nucleobase, and/or phosphodiester backbone (internucleoside linkage), and nucleoside analogs, as well as conjugates or ligands. As used herein, the term “siNA duplex” or “siRNA duplex” refers to a double-stranded (“ds”) siRNA or “dsRNA” or “ds-NA” having a sense strand and an antisense strand.
As used herein, the term “antisense strand” or “guide strand” refers to the strand of a siRNA molecule which includes a region that is substantially complementary to a target sequence, e.g., a HSD17B13 mRNA.
As used herein, the term “sense strand” or “passenger strand” refers to the strand of a siRNA molecule that includes a region that is substantially complementary to a region of the antisense strand as that term is defined herein.
As used herein, the term “modified nucleotide” refers to a nucleotide having, independently, modifications at the sugar, nucleobase, and/or phosphodiester backbone (internucleoside linkage), and nucleoside analogs. Thus, the term modified nucleotide encompasses substitutions, additions, or removal of, e.g., a functional group or atom, to internucleoside linkages, sugar moieties, or nucleobases. The modifications suitable for use in the siRNAs of the disclosure include all types of modifications disclosed herein or known in the art. Any such modifications, as used in a siNA or siRNA molecule, are encompassed by “siRNA” and “siRNA molecule” and “siRNA duplex” and “siNA” and “siNA molecule” and “siNA duplex” for the purposes of this specification and claims. It will also be understood that the term “nucleotide” can also refer to a modified nucleotide, as further detailed herein.
As used herein, the term “nucleotide sequence” refers to the sequence of modified or unmodified nucleotides, wherein a ligand or conjugate added to the 3′ or 5′ terminal nucleotide is not encompassed by the term “nucleotide sequence”. For example, the molecules specified with a SEQ ID NO include a “nucleotide sequence” where some of the nucleotide sequences further have a ligand or conjugate added to the 3′ or 5′ terminal nucleotide.
As used herein, the term “nucleobase” refers to naturally-occurring nucleobases and their analogues. Examples of naturally-occurring nucleobases or their analogues include, but are not limited to, thymine, uracil, adenine, cytosine, guanine, aryl, heteroaryl, and an analogue or derivative thereof.
As used herein, the term “nucleotide overhang” or “overhang” refers to at least one unpaired nucleotide that protrudes from the duplex structure of a double-stranded RNA (e.g., siRNA duplex or dsRNA). For example, when a 3′ end of one strand of a dsRNA extends beyond the 5′ end of the other strand, or vice versa, there is a nucleotide overhang. The overhang(s) can be on the sense strand, the antisense strand or any combination thereof. Furthermore, the nucleotide(s) of an overhang can be present on the 5′ end, 3′ end or both ends of an antisense and/or sense strand of a dsRNA and can comprise modified nucleotides. Generally, if any nucleotide overhangs, as defined herein, are present, the sequence of such overhangs is not considered in determining the degree of complementarity between two sequences and such overhangs shall not be regarded as mismatches with regard to the determination of complementarity. By way of example, a sense strand of 21 nucleotides in length and an antisense strand of 21 nucleotides in length that hybridizes to form a 19 base pair duplex region with a 2 nucleotide overhang at the 3′ end of each strand would be considered to be fully complementary as the term is used herein.
As used herein, the term “blunt end” refers to an end of a dsRNA with no unpaired nucleotides, i.e., no nucleotide overhang. In some embodiments, a blunt end can be present on one or both ends of a dsRNA.
The terms “complementary,” “fully complementary” and “substantially complementary” herein can be used with respect to the base pairing between the sense strand and the antisense strand of a duplex siRNA or dsRNA, or between the antisense strand of a siRNA and a target sequence, as will be understood from the context of their use. As used herein, a first sequence is “complementary” to a second sequence if a polynucleotide comprising the first sequence can hybridize to a polynucleotide comprising the second sequence to form a duplex region under certain conditions, such as physiological conditions. Other such conditions can include moderate or stringent hybridization conditions, which are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. A first sequence is considered to be fully complementary (100% complementary) to a second sequence if a polynucleotide comprising the first sequence base pairs with a polynucleotide comprising the second sequence over the entire length of one or both nucleotide sequences without any mismatches. In some embodiments, a sequence is “substantially complementary” to a target sequence if the sequence is at least about 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% complementary to a target sequence. Percent complementarity can be calculated, for example, by dividing the number of bases in a first sequence that are complementary to bases at corresponding positions in a second or target sequence by the total length of the first sequence. Such calculations are well within the ability of those ordinarily skilled in the art. A sequence may also be said to be substantially complementary to another sequence if there are no more than 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 mismatches over a 30 base pair duplex region, for example, when the two sequences are hybridized. “Complementary” sequences, as used herein, can also include, or be formed entirely from, non-Watson-Crick base pairs and/or base pairs formed from modified nucleotides, in so far as the above requirements with respect to their ability to hybridize are fulfilled.
The use of percent identity (i.e., “identical”) is a common way of defining the number of differences in the nucleobases between two nucleic acid sequences. For example, where a first sequence is ACGT, a second sequence of ACGA would be considered a “non-identical” sequence with one difference. Percent identity may be calculated over the entire length of a sequence, or over a portion of the sequence. Percent identity may be calculated according to the number of nucleobases that have identical base pairing corresponding to the sequence to which it is being compared. The non-identical nucleobases may be adjacent to each other, dispersed throughout the sequence, or both. Such calculations are well within the ability of those ordinarily skilled in the art.
As used herein, “missense mutation” refers to when a change in a single base pair results in a substitution of a different amino acid in the resulting protein.
As used herein, the term “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to the amount of a siRNA of the present disclosure sufficient to effect beneficial or desired results, such as for example, the amount that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal, or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor, or other clinician. A therapeutically effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations, applications, or dosages and is not intended to be limited to a particular formulation or administration route. In some embodiments, “therapeutically effective amount” means an amount that alleviates at least one clinical symptom in a human patient, e.g., at least one symptom of a HSD17B13-associated disease or a liver disease.
As used herein, the terms “patient” and “subject” refer to organisms who use the siRNA molecules of the disclosure for the prevention or treatment of a medical condition, including in the methods of the present disclosure. Such organisms are preferably mammals, and more preferably humans. As used herein, a subject “in need” of treatment of an existing condition or of prophylactic treatment encompasses both a determination of need by a medical professional as well as the desire of a patient for such treatment. Administering of the compound (e.g., a siNA or siRNA of the present disclosure) to the subject includes both self-administration and administration to the patient by another.
As used herein, the term “active agent” or “active ingredient” or “therapeutic agent” refers to an ingredient with a pharmacological effect, such as a therapeutic effect, at a relevant dose. This includes siRNA molecules according to the disclosure.
As used herein, a “liver disease treatment agent” is an active agent which can be used to treat liver disease, either alone or in combination with another active agent, and is other than the siRNA of the present disclosure.
As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to the combination of at least one active agent with a carrier, inert or active, making the composition especially suitable for diagnostic or therapeutic use in vivo or ex vivo. In some embodiments, the term “pharmaceutical composition” means a composition comprising a siRNA molecule as described herein and at least one additional component selected from pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, adjuvants, excipients, or vehicles, such as preserving agents, fillers, disintegrating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, perfuming agents, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents, lubricating agents and dispensing agents, depending on the mode of administration and dosage form used.
As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to any pharmaceutical carrier, diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or vehicle, including those described herein, for example, solvents, buffers, solutions (e.g., a phosphate buffered saline solution), water, emulsions (e.g., such as an oil/water or water/oil emulsions), various types of wetting agents, stabilizers, preservatives, antibacterial and antifungal agents, dispersion media, coatings, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like acceptable for use in formulating pharmaceuticals, including, for example, pharmaceuticals suitable for administration to humans. For examples of carriers, see, for example, Martin, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 15th Ed., Mack Publ. Co., Easton, PA [1975].
As used herein, the terms “treat”, “treating”, and “treatment” include any effect, e.g., lessening, reducing, modulating, ameliorating or eliminating, that results in the improvement of the condition, disease, disorder, and the like; or of one or more symptoms associated with the condition, disease, or disorder; or of the cause(s) of the condition, disease, or disorder. For example, with respect to HSD17B13-associated disease, the terms “treat”, “treating”, and “treatment” include, but are not limited to, alleviation or amelioration of one or more symptoms associated with HSD17B13 gene expression and/or HSD17B13 protein production, e.g., fatty liver (steatosis), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis of the liver, accumulation of fat in the liver, inflammation of the liver, hepatocellular necrosis, liver fibrosis, obesity, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). “Treatment” can also mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival in the absence of treatment.
As used herein, the terms “alleviate” and “alleviating” refer to reducing the severity of the condition and/or a symptom thereof, such as reducing the severity by, for example, at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 95%.
As used herein, the term “downregulate” or “downregulating” is used interchangeably with “reducing”, “inhibiting”, or “suppressing” or other similar terms, and includes any level of downregulation.
As used herein, the term “HSD17B13 gene” refers to the hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 13 gene and includes variants and fragments thereof. The HSD17B13 gene (GenBank Accession No. NM_178135.5)(SEQ ID NO: 99) includes a sequence shown in the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 98, which corresponds to nucleotides 42 to 944 of the coding sequence of GenBank Accession No. NM_178135.5), which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Administration of siRNA
Administration of any of the siRNAs disclosed herein may be conducted by methods known in the art, including as described below. The siRNAs of the present disclosure may be given systemically or locally, for example, orally, nasally, parenterally, topically, intracisternally, intravaginally, or rectally, and are given in forms suitable for each administration route.
The delivery of a siRNA molecule of the disclosure to a cell, e.g., a cell within a subject, such as a human subject (e.g., a subject in need thereof, including a subject having a disease, disorder or condition associated with HSD17B13 gene expression) can be achieved in a number of different ways. For example, in some embodiments, delivery may be performed by contacting a cell with a siRNA of the disclosure either in vitro, in vivo, or ex vivo. In some embodiments, in vivo delivery may be performed, for example, by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a siRNA molecule to a subject. In some embodiments, in vivo delivery may be performed by administering one or more vectors that encode and direct the expression of the siRNA.
In general, any method of delivering a nucleic acid molecule (in vitro, in vivo, or ex vivo) can be adapted for use with a siRNA molecule of the disclosure. For in vivo delivery, factors to consider in order to deliver a siRNA molecule include, for example, biological stability of the delivered molecule, prevention of non-specific effects, and accumulation of the delivered molecule in the target tissue and non-target tissue.
In some embodiments, the non-specific effects of a siRNA can be minimized by local administration, for example, by direct injection or implantation into a tissue or topically administering the preparation. Local administration to a treatment site can, for example, maximize the local concentration of the agent, limit the exposure of the agent to systemic tissues that can otherwise be harmed by the agent or that can degrade the agent, and permit a lower total dose of the siRNA molecule to be administered.
In some embodiments, the siRNAs or pharmaceutical compositions comprising the siRNAs of the disclosure can be locally administered to relevant tissues ex vivo, or in vivo through, for example, injection, infusion pump or stent, with or without their incorporation in biopolymers.
For administering a siRNA for the treatment of a disease, the siRNA can be modified or alternatively delivered using a drug delivery system; both methods can act, for example, to prevent the rapid degradation of the dsRNA by endo- and exo-nucleases in vivo. Modification of the siRNA or the pharmaceutical carrier can also permit targeting of the siRNA composition to the target tissue and avoid undesirable off-target effects. For example, siRNA molecules can be modified by conjugation to lipophilic groups such as cholesterol as described above to, e.g., enhance cellular uptake and prevent degradation.
In some embodiments, the siRNA can be delivered using drug delivery systems such as a nanoparticle, a dendrimer, a polymer, liposomes, or a cationic delivery system. Positively charged cationic delivery systems can facilitate binding of a siRNA molecule (negatively charged) and also enhance interactions at the negatively charged cell membrane to permit efficient uptake of a siRNA by the cell. In some embodiments, cationic lipids, dendrimers, or polymers can either be bound to a siRNA, or induced to form a vesicle or micelle that encases a siRNA. The formation of vesicles or micelles may further prevent degradation of the siRNA when administered systemically, for example.
Some non-limiting examples of drug delivery systems useful for systemic delivery of siRNAs include DOTAP, cardiolipin, polyethyleneimine, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides, and polyamidoamines. In some embodiments, a siRNA forms a complex with cyclodextrin for systemic administration.
The siRNA molecules of the disclosure can be administered to animals, including to mammals, and in particular to humans, as pharmaceuticals by themselves, in mixtures with one another, and/or in the form of pharmaceutical compositions.

In solid dosage forms of the disclosure for oral administration (capsules, tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules, trouches and the like), the active ingredient is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers, such as, for example, sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and/or any of the following: (1) fillers or extenders, such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and/or silicic acid; (2) binders, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sucrose and/or acacia; (3) humectants, such as glycerol; (4) disintegrating agents, such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; (5) solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; (6) absorption accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium compounds and surfactants, such as poloxamer and sodium lauryl sulfate; (7) wetting agents, such as, for example, cetyl alcohol, glycerol monostearate, and non-ionic surfactants; (8) absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; (9) lubricants, such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, zinc stearate, sodium stearate, stearic acid, and mixtures thereof; (10) coloring agents; and (11) controlled release agents such as crospovidone or ethyl cellulose.
In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the pharmaceutical compositions may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-shelled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugars, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
A tablet may be made, for example, by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared, for example, using binder (for example, gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, disintegrant (for example, sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), surface-active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made, for example, by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent.
The tablets, and other solid dosage forms of the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure, such as dragees, capsules, pills and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical-formulating art. They may also be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein using, for example, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose in varying proportions to provide the desired release profile, other polymer matrices, liposomes and/or microspheres. They may be formulated for rapid release, e.g., freeze-dried.
They may be sterilized by, for example, filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved in sterile water, or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use. These compositions may also optionally contain opacifying agents and may be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain portion of the gastrointestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. The active ingredient can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-described excipients.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration of the siRNA molecules of the disclosure include, for example, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oils (e.g., cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.
Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as, for example, wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, coloring, perfuming and preservative agents.
Suspensions, in addition to the siRNA molecules, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.
Formulations of the pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure for rectal or vaginal administration may be presented as a suppository, which may be prepared by mixing one or more siRNA molecules of the disclosure with one or more suitable nonirritating excipients or carriers comprising, for example, cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, a suppository wax or a salicylate, and which, for example, is solid at room temperature, but liquid at body temperature and, therefore, will melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the siRNA molecule.
Formulations of the present disclosure which are suitable for vaginal administration also include, for example, pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.
Dosage forms for the topical or transdermal administration of a siRNA molecule of this disclosure include, for example, powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. The siRNA molecule may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants which may be required.
The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active siRNA molecule of this disclosure, excipients, such as, for example, animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.
Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to a siRNA molecule of this disclosure, excipients such as, for example, lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants, such as, for example, chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane.
Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a siRNA molecule) of the present disclosure to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispersing the siRNA molecule in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the siRNA molecule across the skin. The rate of such flux can be controlled, for example, by either providing a rate controlling membrane or dispersing the siRNA molecule in a polymer matrix or gel.
Pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure suitable for parenteral administration comprise one or more siRNA molecules of the disclosure in combination with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain, for example, sugars, alcohols, antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents.
Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers which may be employed in the pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils, such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure may also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms on the subject compounds may be ensured, for example, by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like into the compositions. In addition, prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about, for example, by the inclusion of agents which delay absorption such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
In some embodiments, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is desirable to slow the absorption of the drug, for example from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished, for example, by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material having poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally-administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
In some embodiments, the administration is via a depot injection. Injectable depot forms can be made by forming microencapsule matrices of the subject siRNA molecules in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending on the ratio of drug to polymer, and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations can also be prepared, for example, by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissue.
Depot injection may release the siRNA in a consistent way over a prolonged time period. Thus, a depot injection may reduce the frequency of dosing needed to obtain a desired effect, e.g., a desired inhibition of HSD17B13, or a therapeutic or prophylactic effect. A depot injection may also provide more consistent serum concentrations. Depot injections may include, for example, subcutaneous injections or intramuscular injections. In some embodiments, the depot injection is a subcutaneous injection.
In some embodiments, the administration is via a pump. The pump may be an external pump or a surgically implanted pump. In certain embodiments, the pump is a subcutaneously implanted osmotic pump. In other embodiments, the pump is an infusion pump. An infusion pump may be used, for example, for intravenous, subcutaneous, arterial, or epidural infusions. In some embodiments, the infusion pump is a subcutaneous infusion pump. In other embodiments, the pump is a surgically implanted pump that delivers the siRNA to the subject.
In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure are packaged with or stored within a device for administration. Devices for injectable formulations include, but are not limited to, injection ports, pre-filled syringes, auto injectors, injection pumps, on-body injectors, and injection pens. Devices for aerosolized or powder formulations include, but are not limited to, inhalers, insufflators, aspirators, and the like. Thus, the present disclosure includes administration devices comprising a pharmaceutical composition of the disclosure for treating or preventing one or more of the disorders described herein.
The mode of administration may be chosen, for example, based upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and based upon the area to be treated. The route and site of administration may be chosen, for example, to enhance targeting.
Regardless of the route of administration selected, the siRNA molecules of the present disclosure, which may be used in a suitable hydrated form, and/or the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure, may be formulated into pharmaceutically-acceptable dosage forms by methods known to those of skill in the art. Methods for the formulation of pharmaceutical compositions depend on a number of criteria, including, but not limited to, route of administration, type and extent of disease or disorder to be treated, and/or dose to be administered. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions are formulated based on the intended route of delivery. The preparation of the pharmaceutical compositions can be carried out in a known manner. For this purpose, one or more compounds, together with one or more solid or liquid pharmaceutical carrier substances and/or additives (or auxiliary substances) and, if desired, in combination with other pharmaceutically active compounds having therapeutic or prophylactic action, are brought into a suitable administration form or dosage.
The pharmaceutical compositions may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any methods known in the art of pharmacy. The amount of active ingredient which can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host being treated and the particular mode of administration, for example, as described below. The amount of active ingredient which can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will generally be, for example, that amount of the siRNA molecule which produces a therapeutic effect. In some embodiments, for example, out of one hundred percent, this amount will range from about 0.1 percent to about ninety-nine percent of active ingredient, or from about 5 percent to about 70 percent, or from about 10 percent to about 30 percent.
Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active ingredient which is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient. For example, the siRNA molecules in the pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure may be administered in dosages sufficient to downregulate the expression of a HSD17B13 gene.
The siRNA molecules and pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may be used to treat a disease in a subject in need thereof, for example in the methods described below.
The dosage amount and/or regimen utilizing a siRNA molecule of the disclosure may be selected in accordance with a variety of factors including, for example, the activity of the particular siRNA molecule of the present disclosure employed, or the salt thereof, the severity of the condition to be treated; the route of administration; the time of administration; the rate of excretion or metabolism of the particular siRNA molecule being employed; the rate and extent of absorption; the duration of the treatment; other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the particular siRNA molecule employed; the type, species, age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated; the renal and hepatic function of the patient; and like factors well known in the medical arts. A consideration of these factors is well within the purview of the ordinarily skilled clinician for the purpose of determining a therapeutically effective amount.
In some embodiments, a suitable daily dose of a siRNA molecule of the disclosure is, for example, the amount of the siRNA molecule that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. For example, a physician or veterinarian could start doses of the siRNA molecules of the disclosure employed in a pharmaceutical composition at levels lower than that required in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. Such an effective dose may depend, for example, upon the factors described above. In some embodiments, the siRNA molecules of the disclosure may be administered in dosages sufficient to downregulate or inhibit expression of a HSD17B13 gene.

This example describes an exemplary method for synthesizing ds-siNAs.
The 2′-OMe phosphoramidite 5′-O-DMT-deoxy Adenosine (NH-Bz), 3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropyl phosphoramidite, 5′-O-DMT-deoxy Guanosine (NH-ibu), 3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropyl phosphoramidite, 5′-O-DMT-deoxy Cytosine (NH-Bz), 3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropyl phosphoramidite, 5′-O-DMT-Uri dine 3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropyl phosphoramidite were purchased from Thermo Fisher Milwaukee WI, USA.
The 2′-F-5′-O-DMT-(NH-Bz) Adenosine-3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropyl phosphoramidite, 2′-F-5′-O-DMT-(NH-ibu)-Guanosine, 3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropyl phosphoramidite, 5′-O-DMT-(NH-Bz)-Cytosine, 2′-F-3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropyl phosphoramidite, 5′-O-DMT-Uridine, 2′-F-3′-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropyl phosphoramidite were purchased from Thermo Fisher Milwaukee WI, USA.
All the monomers were dried in vacuum desiccator with desiccants (P2O5, RT 24 h). The solid supports (CPG) attached to the nucleosides and universal supports were obtained from LGC and Chemgenes. The chemicals and solvents for post synthesis workflow were purchased from commercially available sources like VWR/Sigma and used without any purification or treatment. Solvent (Acetonitrile) and solutions (amidite and activator) were stored over molecular sieves during synthesis.
The oligonucleotides were synthesized on DNA/RNA Synthesizers (Expedite 8909 or ABI-394 or MM-48) using standard oligonucleotide phosphoramidite chemistry starting from the 3′ residue of the oligonucleotide preloaded on CPG support. An extended coupling of 0.1M solution of phosphoramidite in CH3CN in the presence of 5-(ethylthio)-1H-tetrazole activator to a solid bound oligonucleotide followed by standard capping, oxidation and deprotection afforded modified oligonucleotides. The 0.1M I2, THF:Pyridine; Water-7:2:1 was used as oxidizing agent while DDTT ((dimethylamino-methylidene) amino)-3H-1,2,4-dithiazaoline-3-thione was used as the sulfur-transfer agent for the synthesis of oligoribonucleotide phosphorothioates. The stepwise coupling efficiency of all modified phosphoramidites was more than 98%.
Deprotection and cleavage from the solid support was achieved with mixture of ammonia methylamine (1:1, AMA) for 15 min at 65° C. When the universal linker was used, the deprotection was left for 90 min at 65° C. or solid supports were heated with aqueous ammonia (28%) solution at 55° C. for 8-16 h to deprotect the base labile protecting groups.
Quantitation of Crude siNA
Samples were dissolved in deionized water (1.0 mL) and quantitated as follows: blanking was first performed with water alone (2 ul) on Thermo Scientific™ Nanodrop UV spectrophotometer or BioTek™ Epoch™ plate reader then oligo sample reading was obtained at 260 nm. The crude material is dried down and stored at −20° C.
The 0.1 OD of the crude samples were analyzed by HPLC and LC-MS. After confirming the crude LC-MS data then purification step was performed if needed based on the purity.
The unconjugated and GalNAc modified oligonucleotides were purified by anion-exchange HPLC. The buffers were 20 mM sodium phosphate in 10% CH3CN, pH 8.5 (buffer A) and 20 mM sodium phosphate in 10% CH3CN, 1.0 M NaBr, pH 8.5 (buffer B). Fractions containing full-length oligonucleotides were pooled.
Desalting of Purified siNA
The purified dry siNA was then desalted using Sephadex G-25 M (Amersham Biosciences). The cartridge was conditioned with 10 mL of deionized water thrice. Finally, the purified siNA dissolved thoroughly in 2.5 mL RNAse free water was applied to the cartridge drop wise. The salt free siNA was eluted with 3.5 mL deionized water directly into a screw cap vial. Alternatively, some unconjugated siNA was deslated using Pall AcroPrep™ 3K MWCO desalting plates.
Approximately 0.10 OD of siNA was dissolved in water and then pipetted into HPLC autosampler vials for IEX-HPLC and LC/MS analysis. Analytical HPLC and ES LC-MS confirmed the identity and purity of the compounds.
Single strand oligonucleotides (Sense and Antisense strands) were annealed (1:1 by molar equivalents, heat at 90° C. for 2 min followed by gradual cooling at room temperature) to give the duplex ds-siNA. The final compounds were analyzed on size exclusion chromatography (SEC).

This example provides an exemplary method for synthesizing the siNAs comprising a 5′-stabilized end caps disclosed herein. The 5′-stabilized end cap and/or deuterated phosphoramidites were dissolved in anhydrous acetonitrile and oligonucleotide synthesis was performed on a Expedite 8909 Synthesizer using standard phosphoramidite chemistry. An extended coupling (12 minutes) of 0.12 M solution of phosphoramidite in anhydrous CH3CN in the presence of Benzyl-thio-tetrazole (BTT) activator to a solid bound oligonucleotide followed by standard capping, oxidation and sulfurization produced modified oligonucleotides. The 0.02 M I2, THF: Pyridine; Water 7:2:1 was used as an oxidizing agent, while DDTT (dimethylamino-methylidene) amino)-3H-1,2,4-dithiazaoline-3-thione was used as the sulfur-transfer agent for the synthesis of oligoribonucleotide with a phosphorothioate backbone. The stepwise coupling efficiency of all modified phosphoramidites was achieved around 98%. After synthesis the solid support was heated with aqueous ammonia (28%) solution at 45° C. for 16 h or 0.05 M K2CO3 in methanol was used to deprotect the base labile protecting groups.

Pure fractions were pooled and desalted by Sephadex G-25 column and evaporated to dryness. The purity and molecular weight were determined by HPLC analysis and ESI-MS analysis. Single strand RNA oligonucleotides (sense and antisense strand) were annealed (1:1 by molar equivalents) at 90° C. for 3 min followed by RT 40 min) to produce the duplexes.

In this example, potential siRNA sequences targeting the HSD17B13 gene were identified. HSD17B13 (GenBank Accession No. NM_178135.5 (nucleotides 42 to 944)) (SEQ ID NO: 98) was used as the starting reference sequence. Bioinformatics analysis was used to select target sites and design siRNA molecules with favorable on-target and off-target properties.
Table 1 includes a list of certain unmodified sense strand and antisense strand sequences.
To improve certain properties of the siRNAs, including, e.g., the potency and/or stability, modified variations of selected sense and antisense sequences were designed and synthesized. The modified sequences included various patterns of siRNA modifications, including, 2′-O-methyl nucleotides, 2′-fluoro nucleotides, 5′ terminal vinyl phosphonate, phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages, and overhangs. It will be understood that the nucleotide monomers used in the siRNA sequences are linked by 3′-5′ phosphodiester bonds unless specified otherwise. Table 2 includes a list of certain modified sense and antisense strand siRNA sequences.
The present disclosure is not limited to only the specific modifications and/or patterns of modifications disclosed herein. Specifically, for example, one ordinarily skilled in the art would understand that any of the sequences listed in Table 1 could be unmodified, un-conjugated, modified, and/or conjugated, as described herein. For example, any of the siRNA molecules may comprise at least one modified nucleotide, including a vinyl phosphonate or derivative thereof (or an additional vinyl phosphonate) modification at the 3′ end and/or 5′ end of the sense and/or antisense strand, and/or may comprise a GalNAc ligand for in vivo administration as described herein. In some embodiments, the modified sense strand sequences of Table 2 include an exemplary ligand at the 3′ end, which could be excluded from any sense strand sequence of Table 2 or replaced by another ligand or conjugate as disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the sequences of Table 2 could also include an additional ligand or conjugate. As used herein, the term “nucleotide sequence” in reference to a modified sense strand of Table 2 does not include the exemplary ligand at the 3′ end.
This example provides exemplary methods for determining the in vitro activity of a subset of the siRNAs listed in Table 2. For example, the in vitro activity of the siRNAs may be determined by a dose-response luciferase reporter assay, which is described in greater detail below. Specifically, for example, the efficacy of each of the tested siRNA molecules in reducing (or downregulating) the expression of HSD17β13 in vitro was accessed. Each siRNA molecule tested consisted of a duplex of two siRNA strands, the sense strand and the antisense strand, corresponding to certain siRNA Duplex ID Nos. in Table 2 above.

Cells were then transfected with serial concentrations of a siRNA duplex molecule starting at 50 nM (1:5 dilutions) using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Invitrogen, 13778100). A mock no-drug transfection control, which consisted of transfecting 1× phosphate-buffered saline, was included.
After about 72 hours of siRNA treatment, the Dual-Glo® Luciferase Assay System (Promega, E2940) was used according to the manufacturer's protocol to quantify firefly and Renilla luciferase activity. All luminescence was measured on an EnVision plate reader (Perkin Elmer). The Renilla:firefly luminescence ratio is calculated for each well. The ratios of siRNA-treated wells are then normalized to ratios of the mock-treated wells and percent inhibition was calculated. Dose-response curves were fitted by nonlinear regression with variable slope and EC50 values and maximum percentage inhibition were calculated.
The results of the luciferase reporter assay in COS-7 cells are provided in Table 3 below.
Certain GalNAc-conjugated siRNAs were transfected at 1, 5, or 100 pM in primary human hepatocytes (PHH) cultured in 24-well plates at 2.5×105 cells/well. After a 48-hour incubation, the cells were lysed and RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, 74106). cDNA was then synthesized with the SuperScript™ IV VILO™ Master Mix (Invitrogen, 11756500). HSD17B13 gene expression was measured using TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix (Applied Biosystems, 4444964) and the following TaqMan Gene Expression assay (Applied Biosystems, 4331182; Hs01068199_m1). Three endogenous control genes were used for normalization. RT-qPCR reactions were run on the QuantStudio™ 6 Pro Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). Relative quantification (RQ) of gene expression was calculated via the 2−ΔΔCt (RQ) method and results are presented as expression relative to the expression levels of mock control samples.
The results for some duplexes are shown in Table 4.
Methods. Certain siRNA molecules were selected for initial pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies in vivo. To enhance targeted delivery to hepatocytes, a GalNAc ligand was incorporated at the 3′ end of the sense strand via GalNAc4 solid support followed by standard phosphoramidite chemistry. The specific GalNAc ligand used (“-GalNAc4psGalNAc4psGalNAc4” or “p-(ps)2-GalNAc4”), shown below, includes three monomeric “GalNAc4” derivative units linked through two phosphorothioate linkages, where one GalNAc4 unit is linked to the 3′ end nucleotide on the sense strand via a standard phosphodiester linkage.
To evaluate certain HSD17B13 siRNA agents, an AAV-HSD17β13 mouse model was used. Mice (n=4/group) were injected with an adeno-associated virus (AAV) expressing human HSD17β13. Seven days after AAV injection, mice were subcutaneously administered a single dose (ranging from 1.5 to 5 mg/kg) of an siRNA. Fourteen to twenty eight days after administration, the animals were sacrificed and the right, lateral liver lobe of each animal was collected for RT-qPCR. RT-qPCR was performed to measure levels of human HSD17β13 expression.
For RT-qPCR, RNA was extracted using the Rneasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, 74106), according to the manufacturer's protocol. RNA quantity and quality was analyzed with a NanoDrop™ Lite Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific), and cDNA was synthesized using the SuperScript IV VILO Master Mix (Invitrogen, 11756500), according to the manufacturer's protocol. Gene expression was measured using TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix (Applied Biosystems, 4444964), and the following TaqMan Gene Expression assays (Applied Biosystems, 4331182): Actb (Mm00607939_s1), B2m (Mm00437762_m1), Hmbs (Mm01143545_m1), and HSD17p813 (Hs01068199_m1). Actb, B2m, and Hmbs served as the endogenous control genes. RT-qPCR reactions were run on the QuantStudio™ 6 Pro Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). The RQ of gene expression was calculated via the 2−ΔΔCt (RQ) method. Results are presented as expression relative to the expression levels of vehicle control samples.
