Description

Lipid nanoparticle compositions and drug delivery systems prepared therefrom
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicine preparations, and particularly relates to a lipid nanoparticle containing a novel lipid compound, and a pharmaceutical composition or a drug delivery system, such as an mRNA vaccine, which is prepared from the lipid nanoparticle and carries an active ingredient.
Background
Different types of nucleic acid formulations are being developed for the treatment of various major diseases such as infectious diseases, cancers, rare diseases, etc. The nucleic acid preparation comprises DNA, antisense nucleic Acid (ASO), small interfering RNA (siRNA), micro RNA (miRNA), small activating RNA (saRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), aptamer, ribozyme (ribozyme) and the like. Among them, mRNA vaccines have a subverted advantage in terms of safety, rapid preparation and immunogenicity. Based on the development of mRNA modification and delivery tools, once the viral antigen sequences are obtained, mRNA vaccines with clinical scale can be rapidly designed and manufactured within weeks, and standardized production can be achieved, making them very attractive in coping with pandemic outbreaks. The mRNA vaccine has no potential reversion danger of the attenuated vaccine and no recovery mutation problem of the inactivated vaccine. In immunogenicity, mRNA vaccines can induce B-cell and T-cell immune responses, can elicit an immune memory effect, deliver more potent antigens, and can express multiple antigens at once. In addition, mRNA can efficiently express antigen proteins in cytoplasm only by penetrating cell membrane, and mRNA has no risk of gene integration into genome. And thirdly, mRNA is easily degraded after being translated into protein, and the transient expression characteristic of the mRNA ensures the safety of the mRNA drug, enables the dosage to be controllable, and avoids antigen immune tolerance (a state of no response to specific antigens) caused by long-term exposure of vaccine drugs.
However, on the one hand, nucleic acid preparations are negatively charged and have a large molecular weight, so that the nucleic acid preparations are difficult to directly enter cells, and on the other hand, RNA is unstable and is extremely easily degraded by nucleases during the process of being introduced into the body, so that the biological functions are lost. Therefore, the development of efficient, safe and versatile nucleic acid delivery systems is a major challenge in nucleic acid drug transformation processes.
Currently, methods of delivery of nucleic acids include chemical modification, bioconjugate techniques, nanocarrier techniques, lipid-based formulations, exosomes, spherical nucleic acids, DNA nanostructures, stimulus-responsive polymeric nanomaterials, and the like. The mature nucleic acid delivery carrier is lipid nano-particles (LNP), LNP-coated siRNA drugs Onpattro (patisiran) are approved and marketed in 2018, and 2021 LNP-coated mRNA vaccine is formally approved and applied to prevention and control of new coronary epidemic situation, and clinical results show higher effectiveness and no serious adverse reaction at present.
The lipid preparation comprises cation/ionizable lipid, auxiliary lipid, cholesterol and polyethylene glycol-lipid conjugate. Of these four lipid components, the charged head of the cationic lipid is capable of binding to negatively charged nucleic acids and also to phospholipid molecules on the cell membrane, playing a critical role in both the nucleic acid encapsulation and membrane fusion processes. In view of the potential toxicity of permanent cationic lipids, lipid nanoparticles of ionizable cationic lipids have greater application value.
The ionizable cationic lipid comprises three important structural components, namely a hydrophilic polar head containing an amino group, a hydrophobic lipid chain and a connecting chain responsible for connecting the polar head and a nonpolar tail. Currently, the commercial ionizable cationic lipids are mainly the MC3 series and ALC-0315, SM-102 for new crown mRNA vaccines. Among them, MC3 has strong liver targeting, and its application will be limited for nucleic acid formulations that may have potential hepatotoxicity, and MC3 was developed for siRNA delivery of smaller molecular weight, and its load may be limited for nucleic acid formulations of larger molecular weight. The delivery efficiency of ALC-0315 and SM-102 needs to be further improved. Therefore, in order to further advance the development of lipid formulations in China and the application thereof in nucleic acid drug delivery and the like, we need to develop new ionizable cationic lipids, and screen and optimize new nano delivery systems to realize safe and efficient delivery of nucleic acids, for example, mRNA vaccine components.
