Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0172496 filed on Dec. 12, 2022, and No. 10-2023-0136909 filed on Oct. 13, 2023 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.


BACKGROUND
1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a novel lipid compound and a lipid nanoparticle composition including the same.


2. Description of the Related Art

Originated more than 40 years ago to support production of deficient proteins through injection of plasmid DNA into the human body, various types of nucleic acid-based medicines such as antigen, decoy, antisense, siRNA, and miRNA that inhibit transcription and translation of genes have been reported afterwards. Nucleic acid-based medicines have attracted attention as personalized drugs through complementary binding with specific sequences of DNA or RNA by targeting DNA or RNA rather than proteins. Nucleic acid-based medicines are applied not only as therapeutic agents but also as prophylactic agents to defend against diseases by injecting genes capable of expressing antigens against specific diseases. Gene-based vaccines are divided into DNA vaccines, RNA vaccines, and viral vector vaccines, wherein the RNA vaccines, in a form in which mRNA encoding an antigen is injected into the human body to express antigens in the human body and cause antibody formation thereagainst, became popular as an effective countermeasure against COVID-19, which broke out in 2019, since there is no potential risk of infection that viral vector-based vaccines have or genetic mutations shown in DNA vaccines while ensuring rapid development.


However, nucleic acid-based medicines are easily degraded by nucleases in the human body and are negatively charged macromolecules that they cannot be easily delivered intracellularly, such that a method of stably, efficiently delivering the nucleic acid-based medicines to a desired site is required. Delivery techniques based on various materials such as lipids, polymers, dendrimers, and inorganic metal materials have been reported as delivery systems for nucleic acids, wherein lipid nanoparticles are applied to patisiran ONPATTRO®, the first FDA-approved new siRNA drug in 2018 as well as mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 approved in 2020 for emergency use. Currently, lipid nanoparticles which are in general use are in a form in which four components including ionized lipid, phospholipid (helper lipid), cholesterol (structure-retaining lipid), and PEG-lipid are mixed in a constant ratio.


As such, with commercialization of new siRNA drugs and mRNA vaccines, various issues are rising on lipid nanoparticle-based delivery, concerning the targeting, the securing of easiness in storage and distribution, mitigation of side effects, cost reduction, and response to breakthrough infection, aside from enhancement of stability and cell permeability, which are the challenges in the field of delivery for traditional nucleic acid drugs. Therefore, development of lipid nanoparticles capable of solving new challenges is required in the nucleic acid drug market.

Example 3: Synthesis of Butyl Lithocholic Acid

Lithocholic acid and n-butanol were put into a reaction vessel, and then HCl solution (35˜37% aqueous solution, 1 equiv.) was injected, followed by stirring at room temperature for 24 hours. After distilling alcohol using a rotary vacuum distiller, the mixture was dissolved again in DCM to extract impurities with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and saturated brine. Thereafter, the DCM layer was filtered after removing moisture using anhydrous Na2SO4, and the filtered solution was dried using the rotary vacuum distiller and then purified by column chromatography (SiO2, DCM/MeOH, a volume ratio of 19:1-49:1). Thereby, a lithocholic acid derivative compound (92%) was obtained.

Experimental Example 1: Evaluation on Delivery Efficiency Through Identification of Protein Expression Level

mRNA-LNP was injected into the ears of ICR mice by I.D. in an amount of 5 μg/20 μl based on RNA to identify expression.


The experimental process is as follows. Each experimental group was prepared in a dose of 5 μg/20 μl based on RNA and then injected into each ear of mice by I.D. Thereafter, the expression was identified according to the maximum expression time of a target protein. In the case of R/L on which the experiment was actually carried out, expression and maintenance were identified according to two time periods which are 6 hours and 24 hours.


The specific experimental process is as follows.


After anesthesia using an individual respiratory anesthesia machine, a drug to be administered that is suitable for the experimental condition was injected via an insulin syringe. Thereafter, euthanasia was performed using CO2 at each corresponding time, and then ears were cut off. While dipping the cut ears in 300 μl of 1× Renilla Lyswas buffer, ears were completely crushed using scissors and a homogenizer instrument. Thereafter, 20 μl was taken from the mixture solution, transferred to a white 96-well plate, and added with 100 μl of Promega's Renilla luciferase assay substrate, and then luminescence was measured to compare expression.



FIG. 1 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 127, 130) of a novel helper lipid composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


As shown in FIG. 1, comparing LNP 98 and LNP 127, the protein expression efficiency was maintained even when Chemical Formula 10 was replaced with helper lipid. In addition, comparing LNP 98 and LNP 130, the expression efficiency was maintained to a certain extent even when the proportion of helper lipid was increased by replacing the additive with Chemical Formula 10.



FIG. 2 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 131, 132, 133) of the novel helper lipid composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


As shown in FIG. 2, comparing LNP 128 and LNP 133, the protein expression efficiency was maintained even when Chemical Formula 10 was replaced with helper lipid. In addition, comparing LNP 131 and LNP 132, no significant difference was observed when Chemical Formula 10 was mixed with DOPE or used alone, determining that reduction in the content of ionized lipids by half does not dramatically affect the protein expression efficiency.



FIG. 3 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 136, 138, 139) of the novel helper lipid composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


Referring to FIG. 3, comparing LNP 128 and LNP 139, the protein expression efficiency was maintained at 6 hours even when Chemical Formula 11 was replaced with helper lipid, and the expression efficiency was rather increased at 24 hours. In addition, LNP 136 and LNP 138 with Chemical Formulas 10 and 11 added also played a valid role as helper lipid, proving the replaceability.



FIG. 4 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 109, 111, 114) of a novel cholesterol replaced composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


Comparing LNP 98 and LNP 109 in FIG. 4, no significant difference was observed in the protein expression efficiency when cholesterol was replaced with vitamin A, determining that cholesterol may be replaceable with vitamin A. In addition, for LNP 111 and LNP 114, the protein expression efficiency was decreased in the case of vitamin E or vitamin K.



FIG. 5 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 110, 115, 117, 118) of the novel cholesterol replaced composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


Comparing LNP 98 and LNP 110 in FIG. 5, although cholesterol was partially mixed with butyl lithocholate due to solubility of coenzyme Q10 instead of whole replacement, the protein expression efficiency was rather decreased. In addition, for LNP 115 and 117, the protein expression efficiency was decreased after replacing cholesterol in the case of vitamin K2 and vitamin C palmitate. In addition, for LNP 118, when replaced with beta-carotene, no significant difference was observed in the protein expression efficiency of LNP 98, confirming the replaceability with cholesterol.



FIG. 6 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 119, 123) of the novel cholesterol replaced composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


Comparing LNP 98 and LNP 119 in FIG. 6, although the ratio of coenzyme Q10 was changed due to the solubility of coenzyme Q10, the expression efficiency was slightly lower than that of butyl lithocholate, such that a search for an appropriate ratio seems to be required. In addition, comparing LNP 109 (see FIG. 4) and LNP 123, in the case of retinol, although vitamin A (retinoic acid) has a form reduced to alcohol, it did not stably replace cholesterol unlike vitamin A.



FIG. 7 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 168) of the novel cholesterol replaced composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


Comparing LNP 98 and LNP 168 in FIG. 7, it was found that the use of luteolin may retain the structure to a certain extent since there was no significant difference in the protein expression efficiency. The luteolin, a kind of flavonoids and phytochemical that is called vitamin P in a broad sense, is a substance known to have antioxidant action as well as functions of eliminating active oxygen and regulating metabolism and immune system.



FIG. 8 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 200) of the novel cholesterol replaced composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


Comparing LNP 126 and LNP 200 in FIG. 8, in the case of 3-oxo-5β-cholanoic acid, the protein expression efficiency was more increased when butyl lithocholate was replaced. It is considered that the 3-oxo-5β-cholanoic acid may act as an inhibitor of ROR-γt related to immune activity to suppress mRNA degradation by the in vivo immune system prior to protein expression.


In conclusion, vitamin A, beta-carotene, luteolin, and 3-oxo-5β-cholanoic acid showed excellent effects as substitutes for the structure-retaining compound.



FIG. 9 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 146, 147) of a novel ionized lipid composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


Referring to FIG. 9, when compounds 12 and 13 were introduced in place of MC3, the ionized lipid, in LNP 98 (LNP 146 and LNP 147), respectively, the protein expression efficiency was slightly decreased in both cases, compared to LNP 98.



FIG. 10 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 152, 153) of the novel ionized lipid composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


Referring to FIG. 10, when compound 24 was introduced in place of MC3, the ionized lipid, in LNP 98 (LNP 152), the protein expression efficiency was increased compared to LNP 98, but when compound 24 was introduced in place of SM-102 in LNP 128 (LNP 153), the protein expression efficiency was decreased compared to LNP 128.



FIG. 11 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 159, 160) of the novel ionized lipid composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


Referring to FIG. 11, when compound 16 was introduced in place of DLin-MC3-DMA, the ionized lipid, in LNP 98 (LNP 159), the initial protein expression efficiency was slightly increased compared to LNP 98, but the persistence of expression was decreased. When compound 16 was introduced in place of SM-102 in LNP 128 (LNP 160), the protein expression efficiency was slightly decreased compared to LNP 128.



FIG. 12 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 166, 167) of the novel ionized lipid composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


Referring to FIG. 12, when compound 14 was introduced in place of MC3, the ionized lipid, in LNP 98 (LNP 166), the protein expression efficiency was maintained similarly at 6 hours compared to LNP 98, but the protein expression efficiency was significantly deceased at 24 hours. When compound 14 was introduced in place of SM-102 in LNP 128 (LNP 167), the protein expression efficiency was significantly deceased compared to LNP 128.



FIG. 13 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 178, 179, 181, 182) of the novel ionized lipid composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


In FIG. 13, when compound 16 (LNP 178) and compound 14 (LNP 179) were used in place of SM-102, the ionized lipid of LNP 139 using compound 10 as helper lipid, LNP 178 showed slightly decreased protein expression efficiency and LNP 179 showed significantly increased protein expression efficiency. When compound 16 (LNP 181) and compound 14 (LNP 182) were used in place of SM-102, the ionized lipid of LNP 138 using compound 11 as helper lipid, LNP 181 maintained the expression efficiency at 6 hours, and the expression efficiency was decreased slightly at 24 hours.



FIG. 14 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 185, 187) of the novel ionized lipid composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).


In FIG. 14, as a result of replacing butyl lithocholate of LNP 181 with quercetin (LNP 185) and 3-oxo-5β-cholanoic acid (LNP 187) for optimization of LNP composition using compound 16 as the ionized lipid, the protein expression efficiency of LNP 187 was greatly increased. Quercetin is a plant flavonoid known to have excellent antioxidant power as well as neuroprotective, cardioprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects, but the protein expression efficiency was not increased significantly. Using 3-oxo-5β-cholanoic acid, which showed the most superior delivery efficiency among substitute compounds for cholesterol, it was found that the protein expression efficiency was further increased while persistence was enhanced, when replacing with 3-oxo-5β-cholanoic acid in place of butyl lithocholate which is cholesterol in LNP 181.



FIG. 15 shows results of analyzing an amount of R/L expressed 6 hours and 24 hours after injecting lipid nanoparticles (LNP 192, 193) of the novel ionized lipid composition including Renilla Luciferase (R/L) mRNA into the ears of mice (i.d.).

Experimental Example 2: HA-Specific Antibody Immune Response Enhanced by mRNA-Formulated LNP

In order to investigate the effect of LNP on antibody production, mRNA encoding HA, a surface antigen of influenza virus, was encapsulated in LNP, mice (BALB/c) aged 6 weeks were immunized with 10 μg thereof intramuscularly based on mRNA, and the antibody response was observed through the level of IgG1 and IgG2a against HA-specific antibodies in the blood using ELISA 2 weeks after primary immunity or secondary immunity.


The specific experimental process is as follows.


A drug to be administered that is suitable for the experimental condition was injected via an insulin syringe. Thereafter, blood collection was performed using a respiratory anesthesia machine on each corresponding date. The experiment was carried out after separating the serum from the obtained blood.



FIG. 28 shows results obtained by formulating (LNP 126, 181, 187, 200) mRNA encoding surface antigen of influenza virus, immunizing mice by intramuscular administration, and identifying HA-specific antibody responses in the blood by IgG1 (a, c) and IgG2a (b, d) levels 2 weeks after primary immunity (a˜b) and secondary immunity (c˜d). Referring to FIG. 28, it was found that, in the case of LNP 181, LNP 187, and LNP 200, the level of IgG1 and IgG2a was decreased compared to LNP 126, and the immune effect was not significant. In particular, although the protein expression efficiency of LNP 187 was increased compared to LNP 126 (FIG. 14), the immune effect was significantly reduced, ensuring the applicability as a nucleic acid treatment which is based on human immune activation and enables delivery without side effects.



FIG. 29 shows results obtained by formulating (LNP 126, 128, 230, 231, 232) mRNA encoding surface antigen of influenza virus, immunizing mice by intramuscular administration, and identifying HA-specific antibody responses in the blood by IgG1 (a, c) and IgG2a (b, d) levels 2 weeks after primary immunity (a˜b) and secondary immunity (c˜d).


Referring to FIG. 29, in the case of LNP 230, LNP 231, and LNP 128, comparing with LNP126 and LNP 128, the immune effect was not significant since the level of IgG1 and IgG2a was decreased in primary immunity, while the level of IgG2a was still lower than that of LNP 126 and LNP 128 with large difference among individuals in secondary immunity. In particular, in the case of LNP 231, the level of both IgG1 and IgG2a was decreased after primary immunity and secondary immunity, showing the applicability as a nucleic acid treatment which is based on human immune activation and enables delivery without side effects.



FIG. 30 shows results obtained by formulating (LNP 128, 295) mRNA encoding surface antigen of influenza virus, immunizing mice by intramuscular administration, and identifying HA-specific antibody responses in the blood by IgG1 (a, c) and IgG2a (b, d) levels 2 weeks after primary immunity (a˜b) and secondary immunity (c˜d). Referring to FIG. 30, in the case of LNP 295, the applicability as an mRNA vaccine was determined from an increase in the level of IgG1 and IgG2a to a degree similar to LNP 128 in both primary and secondary immunity, which is consistent with the result that the concentration of MCP-1 in the blood was increased significantly compared to the positive control LNP 128 in FIG. 29.


Experimental Example 3: Protein Expression Level of MCP-1 Increased by HA-Encoding mRNA-Formulated LNP

Monocyte chemoattracted protein-1 (MCP-1) is a type of chemokine that moves monocytes toward vascular endothelial cells to be attached thereto and known to play an important role in the immune response. To determine the effect of LNP on the immune response, mRNA encoding R/L was sealed in LNP, 5 μg/20 μl of mRNA-LNP based on RNA was injected into the ears of ICR mice by I.D., and blood was collected 6 hours later to measure the concentration via ELISA.


The specific experimental process is as follows.


A drug to be administered that is suitable for the experimental condition was injected via an insulin syringe. After 6 hours, blood collection was performed using a respiratory anesthetic machine. The experiment was carried out after separating the serum from the obtained blood. Expression level was compared using Invitrogen's MCP-1 mouse uncoated ELISA kit.

Referring to FIG. 31, in the case of LNP 313 and LNP 337, the concentration of MCP-1 in the blood was increased compared to the positive control LNP 126, and LNP 291 and LNP 327 showed a similar concentration of MCP-1 in the blood compared to LNP 126. Thereamong, LNP 327 showed a high concentration of MCP-1 while maintaining the protein expression efficiency to a certain extent, such that the applicability may be expected as an mRNA vaccine.



FIG. 32 shows results obtained by formulating (LNP 128, 160, 212, 225, 228, 231, 292, 295, 311, 314, 324, 326, 328, 330, 332, 334, 336, 338) mRNA encoding Renilla Luciferase (R/L) to administer the mRNA into the ear of ICR mice by I.D. and measuring the concentration of MCP-1 from the blood collected after 6 hours. Referring to FIG. 32, it was observed that, in the case of LNP 295, the concentration of MCP-1 in the blood was increased significantly compared to positive control LNP 128. Since the MCP-1 concentration of LNP 212, LNP 231, LNP 292, and LNP 334 was also not low, the applicability of LNP 334, which had the high protein expression efficiency thereamong, may also be expected as an mRNA vaccine along with LNP 295.


In the case of LNP (LNP 181, 187, 230, 231, 232) of a composition including compound 16 or compound 17 in FIGS. 9 to 32, the protein expression efficiency was significantly high, but no obvious antibody response was observed. On the other hand, in the case of LNP 295 including compound 26, the antibody response was significant after immunization. For LNP (LNP 334), which includes compound 36, the concentration of MCP-1 in the blood after subcutaneous injection was significant. This means that ionized lipids of a new structure of the present disclosure may be configured for each use in relation to the applicability as therapeutic agents (LNP 181, 187, 230, 231, 232) to decrease antibody responses while increasing the protein expression efficiency as well as the applicability as prophylactic agents (LNP 295, 334) in which antibody responses should take place.
