## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a novel cationic lipid that allows, for example, nucleic acid to be easily introduced into cells, and to a novel composition comprising the cationic lipid, and the like.
BACKGROUND ART
Cationic lipids are amphiphilic molecules that generally contain a lipophilic region containing one or more hydrocarbon groups, and a hydrophilic region containing at least one positively charged polar head group. Cationic lipids are useful, because cationic lipids facilitate entry of macromolecules such as nucleic acids into the cytoplasm through the cell plasma membrane by forming a positively charged (total charge) complex with macromolecules such as nucleic acids. This process, performed in vitro and in vivo, is known as transfection.
Typically, cationic lipids are used either alone, or in combination with neutral lipids such as phospholipids. A combination of cationic lipids and neutral lipids is known to be useful, because it can easily form a vesicle that contains an aligned lipid bilayer. Vesicles and liposomes formed by cationic lipids either alone or in combination with neutral lipids have many positive charges on the surface, and, with these charges, can form a complex with polynucleotides or other anionic molecules such as negatively charged proteins. The remaining total cationic charge on the surface of a polynucleotide/cationic lipid/neutral lipid complex can cause strong interaction with the cell membrane, mainly with the negative charge on the surface of the cell membrane.
To date, many different cationic lipids have been synthesized for transfection, and are commercially available. Such cationic lipids include, for example, Lipofectin, Lipofectin ACE, Lipofect AMINE, Transfeactam, DOTAP, etc.
The N-[1-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTMA), etc disclosed in Patent Document 1 are one of the cationic lipids developed in the early. DOTMA etc. are characterized by the propanaminium group having quaternary nitrogen providing a cationic part to the molecule, and a pair of higher hydrocarbons attached to the propyl backbone of the molecule by an ether bond. The quaternary nitrogen is trisubstituted with relatively short alkyl chains such as methyl groups. As structurally similar cationic lipid, N-(2,3-di-(9-(Z)-octadecenoyloxy))-prop-1-yl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTAP) contains acyl groups, instead of the ether-bonded alkyl groups.
For example, the N-[1-(2,3-dioleyloxypropyl)]-N,N-dimethyl-N-hydroxyethylammoniumbromide (DORIE), 2,3-dioleyloxy-N-[2-(spermine carboxamido)ethyl]-N,N-dimethyl-1-propanaminium trifluoroacetate (DOSPA), etc disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 3 are characterized by the propanaminium group having quaternary nitrogen providing a cationic part to the molecule, and a pair of higher hydrocarbons attached to the propyl backbone of the molecule by an ether bond, the propanaminium group. The quaternary nitrogen is characterized by being trisubstituted with relatively short alkyl chains such as methyl groups, and with hydroxyalkyl.
Patent Document 4 discloses, for example, 1,2-dilinoleyloxy-N,N-dimethylaminopropane (DLinDMA), etc. DLinDMA, etc are characterized by the higher alkyl group that contains at least two unsaturated moieties. The higher alkyl group is contained as a replacement for the higher alkyl groups of the structurally similar cationic lipids DOTAP and DOTMA for the purpose of developing more flexible cationic lipids and improving the membrane fluidity of liposomes or the like. Patent Document 5 discloses, for example, 2,2-dilinoleyl-4-dimethylaminomethyl-[1,3]-dioxolan (DLin-K-DMA), etc.

It is also possible to use a sequence contiguous from the double-stranded portion and partially or completely matches the target gene mRNA, or a sequence contiguous from the double-stranded portion and matches the base sequence of the complementary strand of the target gene mRNA. Further, the nucleic acid that suppresses the expression of the target gene may be, for example, a nucleic acid molecule that generates a double-stranded nucleic acid by the activity of a ribonuclease such as Dicer (WO2005/089287), or a double-stranded nucleic acid that does not have a 3′ or 5′ extension.
When the double-stranded nucleic acid is siRNA, the antisense strand has a base sequence in which at least bases 1 to 17 from the 5′-end to the 3′-end are complementary to 17 contiguous bases of the target gene mRNA. Preferably, the antisense strand has a base sequence in which bases 1 to 19 from the 5′-end to the 3′-end are complementary to 19 contiguous bases of the target gene mRNA, a base sequence in which bases 1 to 21 are complementary to 21 contiguous bases of the target gene mRNA, or a base sequence in which bases 1 to 25 are complementary to 25 contiguous bases of the target gene mRNA.

In the present invention, the substitution of the ribose with a modifying group at the 2′-position means the substitution of the hydroxyl group with a modifying group at the 2′-position. The configuration may be the same as or different from the configuration of the ribose hydroxyl group at the 2′-position. Preferably, the configuration is the same as the configuration of the ribose hydroxyl group at the 2′-position. The ribose substituted with a modifying group at the 2′-position is included within a 2′-modified nucleotide from among sugar-modified nucleotides, and the modifying group of the ribose substituted at the 2′-position has the same definition as the modifying group of 2′-modified nucleotides.
The nucleic acid used in the present invention includes derivatives in which the oxygen atom or the like contained in the phosphate moiety, the ester moiety, or the like in the structure of the nucleic acid is replaced with other atoms, for example, such as a sulfur atom.
In addition, in the sugar binding to the base at the 5′-end of each of the antisense strand and the sense strand, the hydroxyl group at the 5′-end may be modified with a phosphate group or the foregoing modifying group, or a group which is converted into a phosphate group or the foregoing modifying group by a nucleolytic enzyme or the like in a living body.
In addition, in the sugar binding to the base at the 3′-end of each of the antisense strand and the sense strand, the hydroxyl group at the 3′-end may be modified with a phosphate group or the foregoing modifying group, or a group which is converted into a phosphate group or the foregoing modifying group by a nucleolytic enzyme or the like in a living body.
The single-stranded nucleic acid may be any of nucleic acids that contain a sequence complementary to the contiguous 15 to 27 base sequence, preferably 15 to 25 base sequence, more preferably 15 to 23 base sequence, further preferably 15 to 21 base sequence, particularly preferably 15 to 19 base sequence of the target gene, with or without the substitution, deletion, or addition of 1 to 3 bases, preferably 1 to 2 bases, more preferably 1 base, and that have a target protein expression suppressing activity. Preferred for use is a single-stranded nucleic acid having 15 to at most 30 bases, preferably 15 to 29 bases, more preferably 15 to 27 bases, further preferably 15 to 25 bases, particularly preferably 15 to 23 bases.
The single-stranded nucleic acid may be one obtained by connecting the antisense strand and the sense strand of the double-stranded nucleic acid via a spacer sequence. Preferred as the spacer oligonucleotide is a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule of 6 to 12 bases, with a UU sequence at the 5′-end. Examples of the spacer oligonucleotide contain a nucleic acid having the sequence UUCAAGAGA. Either the antisense strand or the sense strand joined by a spacer oligonucleotide may represent the 5′-end. Preferably, the single-stranded nucleic acid is a single-stranded nucleic acid, such as shRNA, that has a stem-loop structure with a double-stranded portion. Single-stranded nucleic acids such as shRNA are typically 50 to 70 bases long.
It is also possible to use nucleic acids at most 70 bases long, preferably at most 50 bases long, further preferably at most 30 bases long, designed to generate the single-stranded nucleic acid or the double-stranded nucleic acid by the activity of ribonuclease or the like.

Preferred are a complex of a nucleic acid and a micelle, and a complex of a nucleic acid and a liposome.
The composition in the present invention can be produced by a known production method or a method in conformity therewith and may be a composition produced by any production method. For example, in the production of a liposome as one of the composition, a known preparation method of a liposome can be applied. Examples of the known preparation method of a liposome include a liposome preparation method by Bangham et al. (see J. Mol. Biol., 1965, Vol. 13, pp. 238-252); an ethanol injection method (see J. Cell. Biol., 1975, Vol. 66, pp. 621-634); a French press method (see FEBS Lett., 1979, Vol. 99, pp. 210-214); a freeze-thawing method (see Arch. Biochem. Biophys., 1981, Vol. 212, pp. 186-194); a reverse phase evaporation method (see Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1978, Vol. 75, pp. 4194-4198); and a pH gradient method (see, for example, Japanese Patents Nos. 2572554 and 2659136, etc.). As a solution which disperses the liposome in the production of liposome, for example, water, an acid, an alkali, a variety of buffer solution, a saline, an amino acid infusion, and the like can be used. In addition, in the production of a liposome, it is also possible to add an antioxidant, for example, citric acid, ascorbic acid, cysteine, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), etc., an isotonic agent, for example, glycerin, glucose, sodium chloride, etc., or the like. In addition, the liposome can also be produced by dissolving a lipid or the like in an organic solvent, for example, ethanol, etc., distilling off the solvent, adding a saline or the like, and stirring and shaking the mixture, thereby forming a liposome.
In addition, the composition of the present invention can be produced by various methods. As an example, the cationic lipid of the present invention is dissolved in chloroform in advance, and a nucleic acid aqueous solution and methanol are added. These are mixed to form a cationic lipid/nucleic acid complex. Then, the chloroform layer is removed, and a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion is formed by addition of a polyethylene glycolated phospholipid, a neutral lipid, and water. The mixture is then treated by using a reverse phase evaporation method (see JP-T-2002-508765; the term “JP-T” as used herein means a published Japanese translation of a PCT patent application). In another method, a nucleic acid is dissolved in an acidic electrolytic aqueous solution, and lipid is added (in ethanol) to lower the ethanol concentration to 20 v/v % and form the nucleic acid-encapsulating liposome. After sizing filtration, excess amounts of ethanol are removed by dialysis. The nucleic acid adhering to the liposome surface is then removed by further dialysis at an increased sample pH (see JP-T-2002-501511, and Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 2001, Vol. 1510, p. 152-166).
The production methods described in, for example, WO2002/28367 and WO2006/080118 can be used to produce the compositions of the present invention, specifically the liposome constituted of complex particle of the cationic lipid of the present invention and a nucleic acid, or the complex particle of a nucleic acid and the cationic lipid of the present invention combined with neutral lipid and/or a polymer, and a lipid bilayer encapsulating the complex particle.

Example 118
Preparations were produced using the compounds obtained in Examples 1 to 117, as follows.
Anti-APO-B siRNA was used as the nucleic acid. Anti-APO-B siRNA suppresses expression of an apolipoprotein-B (hereinafter, “apo-b”) gene and has a sense strand with the base sequence 5′-GmUCAmUCACACmUGAAmUACCAAmU-3′ (the sugars attached to the bases appended with m are 2′-O-methyl-substituted riboses), and an antisense strand with the base sequence 5′-AUUGGUAUUCAGUGUGAUGACAC-3′ (the 5′-end is phosphorylated). The sense strand and the antisense strand were obtained from Nippon EGT or Hokkaido System Science Co., Ltd., and annealed to prepare the nucleic acid (hereinafter, “apo-b siRNA”).
A solution comprising the constituent components of a lipid membrane was prepared by dissolving each of the weighed samples in 90 vol % ethanol in 8.947/1.059/5.708/13.697 mmol/L [compounds 1 to 117 obtained in Examples 1 to 117/1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000) (PEG-DMPE, N-(carbonylmethoxypolyethylene glycol 2000)-1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine sodium salt, NOF Corporation)/distearoylphosphatidyl choline (DSPC, 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, NOF Corporation)/cholesterol (Avanti Polar Lipids)]. Separately, apo-b siRNA/distilled water (24 mg/mL) was diluted with a Tris-EDTA buffer (200 mM Tris-HCl, 20 mM EDTA, Invitrogen) and a 20 mM citric acid buffer (pH 5.0) to prepare a 1.5 mg/mL apo-b siRNA aqueous solution (2 mM Tris-EDTA buffer, pH 5.0).
The resulting lipid solution was heated to 37° C., and a 100-μL portion was transferred to a preparation container. The apo-b siRNA aqueous solution (100 μL) was then added thereto while being stirred. Then, a 20 mM citric acid buffer (containing 300 mM NaCl, pH 6.0; 200 μL) was added to the lipid nucleic acid mixed suspension (200 μL) while being stirred. The siRNA concentration was brought to 10 μM by dropping a Dulbecco phosphate buffer (DPBS, Invitrogen; 662 μL), and preparations (compositions comprising compounds 1 to 117 and the nucleic acid) were obtained.
The average particle diameter of the liposomes in each preparation was measured with a particle diameter measurement device (Malvern; Zetasizer Nano ZS). The results are presented in Table 18.

Test Example 1
The preparations obtained in Example 118 (compositions comprising compounds 1 to 115 and the nucleic acid), and the preparations obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 8 were introduced into human liver cancer-derived cell line HepG2 (HB-8065) by using the following method.
Each preparation diluted with Opti-MEM (GIBCO; 31985) to make the nucleic acid final concentrations 3 to 100 nM was dispensed in a 96-well culture plate in 20-μL portions. Then, HepG2 cells suspended in MEM containing 1.25% fetal bovine serum (FBS; SAFC Biosciences; 12203C) were inoculated in 6250 cells/80 μL/well, and cultured under 37° C., 5% CO2 conditions to introduce the preparation into the HepG2 cells. Untreated cells were also inoculated as a negative control group.
The cells after the introduction of the preparation were cultured in a 37° C., 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours, and washed with ice-cooled phosphate buffered saline (PBS; GIBCO; 14190). Total RNA was collected, and cDNA was produced by reverse transcription reaction using the total RNA as a template, using a Cells-to-Ct Kit (Applied Bioscience; ABI; AM1728) according to the protocol attached to the kit.
By using the cDNA as a template, a PCR reaction was performed for the apo-b gene and the constitutively expressed gene D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (hereinafter, “gapdh”) gene using a universal probe library (Roche Applied Science; 04683633001) as the probe. For the PCR, ABI7900HT Fast (ABI) was used according to the protocol attached to the system. The mRNA amplification amounts were measured, and a quasi-quantitative value for the apo-b mRNA was calculated using the gapdh mRNA amplification amount as the internal control. The apo-b mRNA level and the gapdh mRNA amplification amount in the negative control group were also measured in the same manner, and a quasi-quantitative value for the apo-b mRNA was calculated using the gapdh mRNA amplification amount as the internal control.
The apo-b mRNA expression rate was determined from the calculated apo-b mRNA quasi-quantitative value relative to the apo-b mRNA quasi-quantitative value of the negative control as 1. The results for Example 118 are presented in FIGS. 1 to 12, and the results for Comparative Examples 1 to 8 are presented in FIG. 13. The vertical axis represents the target gene mRNA expression rate relative to the negative control taken at 1. The horizontal axis represents nucleic acid concentration (nM), and the compound numbers and example numbers of the cationic lipids used.
As is clear FIGS. 1 to 12, the apo-b gene mRNA expression rate was suppressed after the introduction of the preparations obtained in Example 118 (compositions comprising the apo-b gene expression-suppressing anti-APO-B siRNA, and compounds 1 to 115) into the human liver cancer-derived cell line HepG2. On the other hand, as is clear FIG. 13, the apo-b gene mRNA expression rate was not suppressed after the introduction of the preparations obtained in Comparative Examples 3 to 8 (compositions comprising the apo-b gene expression-suppressing anti-APO-B siRNA, and compounds A-3 to 6, VI-3 and VI-4) into the human liver cancer-derived cell line HepG2.
It was therefore found that the composition of the present invention can be used to introduce nucleic acid into cells and the like, and that the cationic lipid of the present invention represents a novel cationic lipid that allows nucleic acid to be easily introduced into cells.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
A composition comprising the novel cationic lipid of the present invention and a nucleic acid can be used to easily introduce the nucleic acid into, for example, cells and the like through administration to mammals and the like.
