3. Chemical Qualification – 2′ place of skeletal and sugar

Natural DNA and RNA are immediately dissolved in the body. Khvorova andtsts“All antis、s require chemical modification to have sufficient activity in the organism”I wroteFactsHome where to qualify is large2′ of skeletal (phosphate) and sugar

(1) Skeleton – Phospho (PS)

Paper Description

Khvorova andtstsThe chemical modification applied to anti-s、 technology is still the most widely used. "It is a phosphatioate skeleton"HOME “It was originally introduced to give nuclaase stability, but the influence of phosphatioate modifier has appeared in the body of oligonucleotide and intake.”and organizeFacts。

PS has a clear two-sided property. Roberts:Facts。

  • Advantage:"Nucrease resistance, as well as binding to protein in plasma and in cells"has a double effect. Binding with albumin, etc.Increase circulation time and reduce renal excretion.
  • Advantage:The interaction with intracellular proteins (such as nucleoline) is not possible,Accumulation in nuclearIt is believed to be useful. Nucleus is an action site of antis that changes splicing
  • Point:"Lower binding affinity to target"Home This complements different types of modifications
  • siRNA is different:"The siRNA that PS-qualifies all bindings is less active than the equivalent phosphodiester (PO) siRNA."For PSCloseExample

4. The ulation of this paper: How many PS bonds are produced

It may be the most surprising thing for engineers of materials. When a PS bond is made, the phosphorothioate (PS) center becomes uncentered.

Paper Description

Roberts"Sulfur atoms are added to PS bonds, which causes the uncentered PS center to each qualified atom.p And Rp The shape of the two three-dimensional heterogeneous bodies called "HOME "So the skeleton is completely PSized 20 oligonucleotides are actually 219 It is a semi-mixture of the sequence of the street (i.e., a different molecule of more than 500,000).Facts。

More"The physical chemical properties of each three-dimensional center differ in terms of hydrophobic/ionic, nuclease resistance, target affinity, and RNase H activity."Facts。

The ulation of this paper: How to determine the number of three-dimensional objects and how to extend the chain length

It is counted according to the description of the paper and calculated even if the chain length is changedThe calculation of this paper。

  • Premise:There are (n-1) nucleotide interconnects in the chain of the base.
  • Premise:Each PS binding is Sp And Rp the two streets are independent of each position

  • 20 base (all PS):219 = 524,288 streets(Cons) with more than 500,000 papers)
  • 18 base (all PS):217 = 131,072 streets
  • 21 base (all PS):220 = 1,048,576 views。Adding one base will double the number of isomers
  • (General design in siRNA):6 PS locations 26 = 64 streets

Premises and Limits:This isNumber of combinationsIt does not indicate that each isomer can be equal. MoreThe number of heterogenes does not mean quality or safety problems. This number is used to understand the situation that "not managed as a single compound" seen in the next chapter.

The ulation of this paper: How long does the coupling reach the desired length?

Origonucleotide stretches one base. If the coupling is not perfect,Short Chainsleft. Change the yield per stage to measure the ratio of up to 20 basesThe calculation of this paper。

  • Premise:20 Couplings to get base19 times
  • Premise:The yield of each stage is equal, and the failed chain does not stretch afterward (actually the failure end is capped)

  • Each step 98%:0.9819 = about 68%
  • Each step 99%:0.9919 = about 83%
  • Each step 99.5%:0.99519 = about 91%
  • For 40 bases:0.9939 = about 68%。Even the same yield, double the chain, the purity of the coarse product falls to 98% of the 20 base

Andrews"Coarse purity exceeding 80% is not unusual"It saysFactsHome This is equivalent to 99% of each stage. Contrast to this article). Premises and Limits:This calculation is based on the simplicity of equal yield, and does not indicate the actual impurity profile.

The contents of the "20-base array" (cal)ating this article) 524,288 streets Total number of 3D heterogenes of 20 bases 19 boards of 2 x 2 )ulation of this paper (according to the description of the paper) about 83% Reach rate of 99% per stage 19 times 0.99 19 board The calculation of this paper If you change the yield per stage, the proportion of 20 bases will move like this 98% each about 68% Each stage 99% about 83% Each stage 99.5% about 91% 40 bases, 99% each about 68% * The description "different molecules exceeding 500,000" depends on Roberts et al (2020) [Reference Material 1]. * The description "Coarse purity exceeding 80% is not uncommon" depends on Andrews et al (2021) [Reference Material 3]. * 524,288, 68%, 83%, and 91% are calculated by this article. It is assumed that the yield of each stage is set. * The number of foreign bodies does not mean quality or safety issues.
Figure 3 Drawing including calculation of this paper (vector drawing).The description of 'different molecules exceeding 500,000' is based on Roberts et al (2020) [Reference Material 1], and the rough purity description is based on Andrews et al (2021) [Reference Material 3].As of 524,288, and 68%, 83%, and 91% are calculated by this article.This article assumes that the yield of each stage is equal.

5. Material Technician Perspective 1: 'Managed mixtures' rather than 'single compound'.

Read of Material Engineers: The system is written on the basis of “not divided” by regulatory authorities.

The number of 500,000 streets in the previous chapter is"Isolation and」ntification"It means. Notice of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare "Matters to Consider in the Security and Evaluation of Nucleic Acid Drugs" is handled from the front.

If it is technically difficult to evaluate the distribution of three-dimensional heterogeneities of active ingredients in oligonucleotides (if non-cross-linked oxygen groups are substituted by functional groups) or morpholino-nucleic acids, the production process and parameters that affect the three-dimensional chemistry of the molecules should be clearly defined, and the normality of the three-dimensional heterogeneous distribution of the active ingredient should be explained.Facts

Changes that occur here are familiar to material engineers(This article) If you cannot guarantee the standard by analysis of the final product, we will guarantee it in terms of the process.Dutch It is a way of thinking that has been done for a long time with polymers with weight distribution and granularity distribution.

The notice is the same posture for impurities. “It is often difficult to develop an analysis method that shows similar physical chemical properties and separates all oligonucleotides.”When appropriate"One group of oligonucleotides can be managed as a group of oligonucleotides."Contact UsFacts。

More“In with the characteristics of oligonucleotides, the significance of applying ICH guidelines M7 for oligonucleotides is considered to be a lack.”、 "It is not practical to apply thresholds of reports, structural decisions and safety confirmations shown in Q3A (R2) to oligonucleotides."Facts。 The framework of impurities management made for low-、 drugs is not effective as it isIt is.

How do I apply for actual examination? (Birtralsen)

The PMDA review report is about the original drug of Birtralsen The original drug is a unique stereo compound with an asymmetric center on carbon atoms and 20-lyne atoms on the Morpholin ring.Facts。

This is a description of the applicant for the treatment of affinity substances. Origonucleotides have chemical properties that are similar to each other, so it is difficult to separate and analyze them individually. That's why I think it's appropriate to manage impurities detected in HPLC analysis using purity testing because the impurities profile between lots is consistent.Facts。

Original medicine standardContainment, sexual test (UV/VIS, IR, MS), pH, purity test (solute, affinous substance (HPLC), residual solvent (GC), moisture, endotoxin, microbial limit, quantitative method (HPLC)set Multiple processes of and purification are specified as an important processFacts(Specific process names and parameters are private part of the review report)

The purity of the starting material remains in the product as it is

There is another sentence to read from the procurement side in the same notification.

Since the impurities included in the starting substance that are into the original drug are considered high risk, it is necessary to consider the impurities profile of the starting substance. The management of the starting substance is limited to purification opportunities in the production of oligonucleotides compared to low- chemical 、 drugs, and in the final product there is a limit to the separation and detection of oligonucleotides, and it is necessary to be positioned properly in the management strategy of impurities.Facts

"Refining opportunities are limited"This is the essence of this field. In the。 of low。s, the purity can be raised by crystallization and extraction for each intermediate. But Oligonucleotide isAfter stretching to the end on the carrier, apply only one chromatographyIt is basic. In other wordsI can't make quality on the wayHome SoThe impurities of raw materials (such as phosphate) are reflected in the impurities profile of the product.。

If you look from the side that defines the material, this"Monomer's purity specification directly connects to the final product standard"It is a composition. It is a position similar to high purity chemicals for polymer polymerization monomers and semiconductors (in this article).

6. GalNAc - Deliver to the liver with 3 sugars

The most clear and successful delivery of nucleic acid drugsLiverComment The main roleGalNAc (N-acetyl Galactosamine)This is the modification of sugar.

Paper Description

Roberts"GalNAc is a high affinity (K) to the athyrogen protein receptor 1 (ASGR1) that expresses high in the liverd = 2.5 2.5M) is the sugar part that binds antisense and siRNA into hepatocellular cells by endocytosis.ExplainFacts。

The nature of the receptor is also essential.“ASGR1 is very high in the liver and is ideal for effective delivery targeting the liver because it is quickly recycled to the cell membrane.”Facts。

It is designed to be outward."The interaction between GalNAc and ASGR1 is pH-sensitive, and during the acidification of endosomes, the receptor isoform and oligonucleotide complex dissociate. Then the GalNAc part is enzymatically degraded and the oligonucleotide is free."Facts。

GalNAc binding oligonucleotide until it enters hepatic cells (conception diagram) [Reference Material 1] The description of 1 to 4 is based on Roberts et al (2020). [Reference Material 4] The properties of the third GalNAc are based on Nair et al. [Reference Material 4]. The nucleic acid is ed to the receptor, removed with acidic endomes, dissolved sugar and remains nucleic acid. 1 Enter from the bottom of the skin 2 Binding to receptors 3 Removed by acidification 4 Nucleic acid free GalNAc Nucleic acid at the end Smaller than nanoparticles The composition is clear Low cost ASGR1 Bonding Strength Kd=2.5 M Receptors quickly to the membrane Recycled = Repetitive luck End-cytosis Contact Us Binding is pH sensitivity Acidification and Dissolve GalNAc Enzymatically dissolved Origonucleotide Work free Design that connects with pH - The ligand is used in the entrance and is used as a part to throw away inside. * The nucleic acid is ed to the receptor, removed with acidic endomes, dissolved sugar and remains nucleic acid ※ This article is organized in four stages. It does not indicate the shape, size and number of cells and receptors.

Why GalNAc? (Roberts et al 2020)

This paper explains why GalNAc binding is now a major strategy "High liver silence, smallness with nanoparticle complexes, clear chemical composition, low cost"Facts。

A number is shown for the improvement width of the spindle. "GalNAc binding increased antis。 secretion by about seven times in the mouse, which was specific to the liver. 30 times in human patientsFactsHome More"GalNAc binding antisense is given priority to liver cells in the organism, while unbound antisense is mainly detected with non-liver cells in the liver."Contact UsFacts。

Source: This ligand was adopted by "riding solid phase "

One of the original works of GalNAc binding, Nair et al. 2014 paperJACS) There is a definitive statement from the material and process side.

"The ligand from GalNAc is linked with the conditions of solid phase oligonucleotide and deprotection, and the yield is equivalent to the standard oligonucleotide."Facts

"In other words, this ligand can use existing devices and processes as it is""Sorry, this entry is only available in Japanese. When in、 new functional groups"it fits into existing line protection base strategy and de-protection conditionsThis is similar to the composition that only monomers on existing polymerization processes are practically used.

The same paper obtained RNAi activity of the liver by subcutaneous administration and optimized chemical modification "In vivo achieves 5 times greater improvement in parent design and 50% effective after single dose (ED)50) was 1 mg/kgComment More“This makes it possible to subcutaneously administer the、eutic meaningful dose with a dose of less than 1 mL”ReportFacts (Pre ical data in rodents. Dosage or effects in humans)。

1 mL or less"It is important that the condition is expressed (This article explains). The capacity that can be put once in subcutaneous injections has a upper limit." Raising blood pressure is also a problem of “whether it can be an injectable formulation”"Dutch When viewed from the side of the preparation, the improvement of the surface is also a means of solving the dissolution and capacity."

7. Off-target effect – 7-base coincidence

Although it is the strength of nucleic acid drugs that can be targeted by arrays, Act even with short matchingIt is a weak point and back. This was shown in the analysis of gene expression profiles in 2003.

From the abstract of the original paper (Jackson et al 2003, Nature Biotechnology)

“RNA、 has been considered to require almost identical arrays between siRNA and its tribe mRNA.”——The result is differentFacts。

“The profile of the transcription product was not a targeted signature, but a specific signature to the siRNA and included a direct silence of non-targeted genes with only 11 consecutive matches of siRNA.”Facts

Con"siRNA indicates cross-reacting with a limited array similarity and not targeted"It wasFacts。

After that, I narrowed down which part of the match is effective. Janas et al 2018 papers (Nature CommunicationsHome Off-target effect by RNAi"The seed area of the antisense chain (second to eight nucleotides) should be combined into the complementary part of the 3′UTR"Driven by organizeFacts。

Description of the paper: How to solve weakening the binding of the seed area

This paper is a summary of liver toxicity seen in RNAs in GalNAc binding siRNA.

"Hepatotoxicity in rodents observed with excessive exposure is not chemical modulation or RNAi pathway disruption, but can be attributed to off-target effects through RNAi as a main element."Facts

and measuresChemical QualificationComment "These off-target effects can be mitigated by regulating seed conflicts using thermally unstable chemical modifiers, which significantly improves the safety profile of GalNAc-siRNA in dots."FactsHome"7 of anti-nucleic acid (GNA), anti-sense chain"Methods are shownFacts。

"ofulation: How much coincidence occurs"

We check how much "7-base match" and "11-base match" were found.The calculation of this paper。

  • Premise:Consider random arrays with four different bases (actual arrays are not random)

  • 7 Probability that the base coincides:1 ÷ 47 = 1 ÷ 16,384。1 time per 16,000 basesIt becomes a calculation that appears
  • If you examine the array of 100,000 bases:100,000 ÷ 16,384 = Approx. 6 locations
  • 11 Probability that the base coincides:1 ÷ 411 = 1 ÷ About 419 million
  • 19 Probability of all bases coincidence:1 ÷ 419 = 1 ÷ Approx. 2,750 billion。No coincidence occurs first

This contrast shows the nature of the off-target problem(This article) The design of "align with the entire length of the array" is unique enough, but it is actually a short part matchingHome So the specificity is not guaranteed in length.

Premises and Limits:Because the base of the actual genome or transfer product is not randomly aligned, this calculation isulation to grab the sense of the digitComment It does not indicate that something actually matches a specific array, and it does not evaluate toxicity.

What is the regulatory side? (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Non-Clinical Safety Guidelines)

The Guidelines for Non-Clinical Safety Assessment of Nucleic Acid Drugs on March 30, 2020 are divided into two off-target toxicities.Facts。

  • Off-target toxicity due to hybridization:"Toxic by Hybridizing on Similar Base Arrays other than Targets"
  • Off-target toxicity not caused by hybridization:"Toxic that is attracted by the structure and physical and chemical properties of nucleic acid drugs without using hybridization"

and how to evaluate it. About Us "It is recommended to use in silico analysis using human genome DNA and RNA information, or in vitro gene expression analysis using human cells, because humans and animals have different genome sequences."FactsHome About the latter"It is thought that the non-clinical safety evaluation of chemical products is helpful because it is attracted by the physical properties of nucleic acid drugs (chemical modification, etc.)"Facts。

Material ian reading: The design of animal testing is not answered.

This section changes the order of development (in this article). The toxicity derived from the array is different from the genome if the species is different. SoTest in silico and human cellsis positioned as a normal evaluation method.

HomeThe toxicity derived from chemical modifications evaluates the same as chemical productsContact UsFactsHome The safety evaluation of nucleic acid drugs Going forward in another way by separating the story of the array and the story of the materialStructure

The relationship between material engineers is clearly the latter side (in this article). Types of skeletal modification, terminal ligand, salt shape, impurities — Array is independent, rated as chemicalwill be in charge area. This guideline includes animal species"It should be used with rodents and non-dentures as well as facts."Facts。

The protective base becomes "mass throw away"

This paper describes the efficiency of raw materials. "The efficiency of the starting substance is low (e.g., average 36% in four deoxyribonucleoside phosphate). Because the protective base is widely used, as a result, most of the raw materials of these nucleic acid precursors are not taken into the final drug and are discarded as waste. "Facts

It is better to consider solid-phase engineering as a 'cleaning process' rather than a 'reaction process' is true.(This article) After each stage, it is always washed and it is repeated 19 times. The improvement plan of the paper is concentrated thereFacts。

  • Re cleaning:like after coupling or after sulfideMinimizes critical cleaning
  • Ex the reagent with nitrogen pressure:Do not use solvents to remove reagents from columns
  • Reuse of cleaning fluid:Clean solvents at the end of the washing are used at the entrance of the same cleaning.
  • column space:Use dynamic axis compression column to change column height according to the progress of ,Reduces cleaning amount of detritilization by eliminating head space
  • Optional capping steps:"It has recently been shown that the sub-product of the sulfide reaction can be used as a capping agent for the coupling failure chain, removing the capping stage and resulting in a 14% reduction in PMI."

This is a typical notice of process design(This article) Half of material efficiency can not be improved only by looking at yield and reaction speed. "Use sub-products as reagents and processes"The last example is It can be said that application is effective as it is to improve the material process.

ContentHome
oligonucleotide is a polymer of nucleic acid, one-strand antisense is about 4-10 kDa, two-strand siRNA does not pass the cell membrane easily with a large hydrophilic polyanion of about 14 kDa. Organ delivery to non-liver tissue is still a major challenge. Gapmer, 3D, siRNA, and martamer mechanisms (resolved by RNASEH1, acting on splicing signals, 19+2 structures and AGO2, CSC, cutting at guide chains 10-11, tamers are obtained by SELEX, and cellular tamers are mainly applied to extracellular targets). Phosphoate (PS) replaces one non-crosslinked oxygen with, giving nuclease resistance and protein bonding, albumin bonding reduces circulating time, interaction with nucleolin, etc. is considered to be a nuclear accumulation, lowering the target affinity, and all-binding PssiRNA is less active than comparable PO siRNA. 2′-OMe・2′-MOE・2′-F is a OM2′ substitution, which replaces the nucleic 2′ hydrophilic group to improve resistance, plasma stability, tissue half-life, efficacy and promotes 3′-end packers to enhance affinity, but does not match RNase H activity. PMO is a chemical that is charged neutral and the five-member revose is replaced. All PS 20 bases are two 19-way semi compounds (more than 500,000 different molecules), which differ in terms of hydrophobic, ionic, nuclease resistance, target affinity, and RNase H activity. GalNAc joins ASGR1 with Kd=2.5 GalM, ASGR1 is rapidly recycled to the liver, the interaction is pH sensitivity and isolated by endosomic acidity, GalNAc is enzymatically dissolved and oligonucleotide is free, the triple GalNAc is typical, and GalNAc binding gives about 7 times more than a human patient with a mouse, the uncombined antisense is detected by non-real cells, the reason that GalNAc is low liver chemistry.Roberts et (2020)[Reference 1]https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7419031/Facts
The key advantage of nucleic acid drugs is that the delivery and delivery are mainly from chemical structures in the base sequence. The characteristics of tissue distribution and metabolism are called "Dyanofor", which is largely prescribed in chemical modification of sugar, base and phosphate skeleton, single chain or double chain, or presence of targeted ligand. All antisense molecules need chemical modification because they are active in the body. The first applied modifier was a phosphate skeleton, initially because of nuclease stability, but the main influence appeared in the body and intake. ΔTm per base is 2′-MOE, 0.9~1.7°C, 2′-F, about 2.5°C, 4~8°C in LNA, 2°C in tcDNA, 2′-MOE is one of the most useful analogues in dozens of candidates, including mipomersen, LNA crossed 2′ oxygen and 4′ carbon, and methylation analogue called cEt".Khvorova and Watts (2017)[Reference 2]https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5517098/Facts
The production of oligonucleotides for single-chain treatment consists of four main elements (solid phase, cutout and de-protection, purification with separating chromatography, and lyophilization). The mainstream of the phosphorus amidite method using solid-phase carriers is about 40 years old, starting with a protective nucleotide-derived phosphorus amidite, transferred from CPG to Polyethylene with UnyLinker, and the reagents are fully automated and the reagents are sequentially flown. A 3′ to 5′ directional 4-stage cycle (detritiation: toluene dichloroacetic acid, coupling: acidic activator, oxidation/furization: iodine or sulfide, capping: minimizing N-1 impurities due to anhydrous acid), cleaning after each stage, completing about 45 minutes, 20 salts within 24 hours, and finally minimizing the cyanoethyl protective base with an amine solution. Cutout and de-protection by ammonia water heating, fluorocarbon processing in case of RNA content, and no rough purity exceeding 80% are uncommon. Reverse phase and anion exchange chromatography are commonly used to separate 5′-DMT. This is one of the bottlenecks due to energy-intensive operation at 2 k /kg. The conversion efficiency of about 80% yield, 50%, purity of 90%. The efficiency of four deoxyribonucleoside phosphate amidites is average 36%, and the DMT group is equivalent to one third of the mass of the deoxyribonucleoside, and the DMT protector is important in the final cycle. PMI definition and 8 items (3,035 to 7,023, average 4,299, 168 to 251 per nucleotide, average 199), the median value of low 168 to 308 and the ratio of about 8,300 of biopharmaceuticals, water 51% (low 28, cleaning solvents 25% of organic materials, stages about half of material, detritiation is almost half of material in stages, and PMI tends to fall in the development phase, according to the platform approach that phosphoride and PMI materials are aggregated. Improvement plan (reduction of cleaning, ex of reagent by nitrogen pressure, reuse of cleaning liquid, omission of capping stage by dynamic axis compression column, sulfide sub-product and PMI 14% reduction). DCM has been replaced by toluene, pyridine and triethylamine are classified as hazardous from low occupational exposure limits.Andrews et al(2021)[Reference 3]https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8154579/Facts
GalNAc-derived ligands are equivalent to standard oligonucleotides under the conditions of solid phase oligonucleotide synthesis and deprotection. RNAi gene silencing in the liver was achieved through subcutaneous administration. Chemical modifications resulted in a fivefold increase in the parent design's efficacy in vivo, with an ED50 of 1 mg/kg after a single dose, allowing for subcutaneous administration of less than 1 mL (including preclinical reports on rodents).Nair et al )[Reference 4]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25434769/Facts
RNA profiles have been considered to require almost identical arrays, and the transcription product profile indicates a siRNA-specific signature rather than a target-specific signature, including the silencing of non-targeted genes with only 11 consecutive bases, and siRNA intersects with limited array similarity and no targets.Jackson et al (2003)[Reference 5]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12754523/Facts
The off-target effects of RNAi are mainly driven by the combination of antisense chain seed area (2nd to 8th) and 3′ UTR complementary parts. The liver toxicity observed in rodents during overexposure to GalNAc-siRNA can be attributed to off-target effects, primarily through RNAi, rather than chemical modifications or disruption of the RNAi route. Thermally unstable chemical modifiers reduce off-target effects by adjusting seed conflicts and significantly improve safety profiles.May 2018[Reference Material 6]https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5818625/Facts

If the distribution of a three-dimensional heterogeneous body is difficult to technically, it is necessary to describe the permanentity of a three-dimensional heterogeneous distribution by specifying the manufacturing process and parameters that measure the three-dimensional chemistry of the resin. It is often difficult to develop an analysis method that separates all oligonucleotides and can be managed as an analogue group in the appropriate case. ICH M7 is considered to be less meaningful, and the threshold of ICH Q3A (R2) is not practical. It is necessary to position it in management strategy based on the risk of impurities included in the departing substance, limited purification opportunities and limitations in separation and detectionMinistry of Health, Labour and Welfare “Matters to Consider in the Security and Evaluation of Nucleic Acid Drugs”[Reference 9]https://www.pmda.go.jp/files/000228569.pdfFacts
