Included in the instant invention is the free form of cationic lipids of Formula A, as well as the pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers thereof. Some of the isolated specific cationic lipids exemplified herein are the protonated salts of amine cationic lipids. The term "free form" refers to the amine cationic lipids in non-salt form. The encompassed pharmaceutically acceptable salts not only include the isolated salts exemplified for the specific cationic lipids described herein, but also all the typical pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the free form of cationic lipids of Formula A. The free form of the specific salt cationic lipids described may be isolated using techniques known in the art. For example, the free form may be regenerated by treating the salt with a suitable dilute aqueous base solution such as dilute aqueous NaOH, potassium carbonate, ammonia and sodium
bicarbonate. The free forms may differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but the acid and base salts are otherwise pharmaceutically equivalent to their respective free forms for purposes of the invention.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the instant cationic lipids can be synthesized from the cationic lipids of this invention which contain a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Generally, the salts of the basic cationic lipids are prepared either by ion exchange chromatography or by reacting the free base with stoichiometric amounts or with an excess of the desired salt-forming inorganic or organic acid in a suitable solvent or various combinations of solvents. Similarly, the salts of the acidic compounds are formed by reactions with the appropriate inorganic or organic base.
Thus, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the cationic lipids of this invention include the conventional non-toxic salts of the cationic lipids of this invention as formed by reacting a basic instant cationic lipids with an inorganic or organic acid. For example, conventional non-toxic salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric, nitric and the like, as well as salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, stearic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, pamoic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, phenylacetic, glutamic, benzoic, salicylic, sulfanilic, 2-acetoxy-benzoic, fumaric, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, oxalic, isethionic, trifluoroacetic (TFA) and the like.
When the cationic lipids of the present invention are acidic, suitable
"pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts prepared form pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic bases including inorganic bases and organic bases. Salts derived from inorganic bases include aluminum, ammonium, calcium, copper, ferric, ferrous, lithium, magnesium, manganic salts, manganous, potassium, sodium, zinc and the like. Particularly preferred are the ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium salts. Salts derived from pharmaceutically acceptable organic non-toxic bases include salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins, such as arginine, betaine caffeine, choline, Ν,Ν1- dibenzylethylenediamine, diethylamin, 2-diethylaminoethanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-ethylmorpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, glucamine, glucosamine, histidine, hydrabamine, isopropylamine, lysine, methylglucamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine, triethylamine, trimethylamine tripropylamine, tromethamine and the like.
The preparation of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts described above and other typical pharmaceutically acceptable salts is more fully described by Berg et al,
"Pharmaceutical Salts," J. Pharm. Set, 1977:66:1-19.
It will also be noted that the cationic lipids of the present invention are potentially internal salts or zwitterions, since under physiological conditions a deprotonated acidic moiety in the compound, such as a carboxyl group, may be anionic, and this electronic charge might then be balanced off internally against the cationic charge of a protonated or alkylated basic moiety, such as a quaternary nitrogen atom.
EXAMPLES
Examples provided are intended to assist in a further understanding of the invention. Particular materials employed, species and conditions are intended to be further illustrative of the invention and not limitative of the reasonable scope thereof. The reagents utilized in synthesizing the cationic lipids are either commercially available or are readily prepared by one of ordinary skill in the art.
Synthesis of the novel cationic lipids is a linear process starting epichlorohydrin (i). Reaction of epichlorohydrin with lipid alcohol gives intermediate epoxide ii. Lewis acid epoxide opening with the second lipid alcohol affords secondary alcohol iii. Triflate formation and amine substitution gives final products of type iv. GENERAL SCHEME 1

A solution of octanol (1.5mol, 195g), tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (75mmol, 24. lg) and sodium hydroxide (2.4mol, 96g) was cooled to 3 C and R-epichlorohydrin was added via dropping funnel . The mixture was stirred at 3 C for 6 hours and then allowed to warm to ambient temperature for 16 hours. The reaction was partitioned between hexanes and aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate. The organics were washed with water (2x 625mL) and brine (625mL) and evaporated in vacuo. The crude oil was purified by flash chromatography (silica, 0-20% ethyl acetate/heptane) to give 236g (85%) of one of the enantiomers of 2- [(octyloxy)methyl]oxirane as a clear oil. ¾ NMR (400MHz, CDC13): δ 3.68 (m, 1H), 3.45 (m, 2H), 3.38 (m, 1H), 3.16 (m, 1H), 2.78 (m, 1H), 2.59 (m, 1H), 1.58 (m, 2H), 1.30 (m, 10H), 0.83 (m, 3H).
The product of this reaction was first assigned the 2R stereochemistry, which would be obtained via a SN2 mechanism at the carbon bearing the halide atom with no change at the asymmetric carbon centre.
However, subsequent studies (experiments on the reaction of lineolyl alcohol with S-epichlorohydrin), under conditions described, Lewis acid conditions and in conjunction with vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), a valid spectroscopic method for determining absolute configuration of chiral molecules (R. K. Dukor and L. A. Nafie, in Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry: Instrumentation and Applications, Ed. R. A. Meyers (Wiley, Chichester, 2000) 662-676.) have revealed the reaction occured via a SN2' mechanism ie reaction at the terminal carbon of the epoxide leading to subsequent ring opening, followed by an in situ ring closing step that leads to inversion of stereochemistry at the asymmetric carbon.
As a result of these studies, the product from this reaction was reassigned the 2S stereochemistry: (2S)-[(octyloxy)methyl]oxirane.

After stirring for 3 hours, the reaction was quenched with brine and partitioned between brine and dichloromethane. The organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo.

LNP process description:
The Lipid Nano-Particles (LNP) are prepared by an impinging jet process. The particles are formed by mixing lipids dissolved in alcohol with siRNA dissolved in a citrate buffer. The mixing ratio of lipids to siRNA are targeted at 45-55% lipid and 65-45% siRNA. The lipid solution contains a novel cationic lipid of the instant invention, a helper lipid (cholesterol) , PEG (e.g. PEG-C-DMA, PEG-DMG) lipid, and DSPC at a concentration of 5- 15 mg/mL with a target of 9-12 mg/mL in an alcohol (for example ethanol). The ratio of the lipids has a mole percent range of 25-98 for the cationic lipid with a target of 35-65, the helper lipid has a mole percent range from 0-75 with a target of 30-50, the PEG lipid has a mole percent range from 1-15 with a target of 1 -6, and the DSPC has a mole precent range of 0-15 with a target of 0-12. The siRNA solution contains one or more siRNA sequences at a concentration range from 0.3 to 1 .0 mg/mL with a target of 0.3 -0.9 mg/mL in a sodium citrate buffered salt solution with pH in the range of 3.5-5. The two liquids are heated to a temperature in the range of 15-40°C, targeting 30-40°C, and then mixed in an impinging jet mixer instantly forming the LNP. The teelD has a range from 0.25 to 1.0 mm and a total flow rate from 10 -600 mL/min. The combination of flow rate and tubing ID has effect of controlling the particle size of the LNPs between 30 and 200 nm. The solution is then mixed with a buffered solution at a higher pH with a mixing ratio in the range of 1 : 1 to 1 :3 vol: vol but targeting 1 :2 vol:vol. This buffered solution is at a temperature in the range of 15-40°C, targeting 30-40°C. The mixed LNPs are held from 30 minutes to 2 hrs prior to an anion exchange filtration step. The temperature during incubating is in the range of 15-40°C, targeting 30-40°C. After incubating the solution is filtered through a 0.8 um filter containing an anion exchange separation step. This process uses tubing IDs ranging from 1 mm ID to 5 mm ID and a flow rate from 10 to 2000 mL/min. The LNPs are concentrated and diafiltered via an ultrafiltration process where the alcohol is removed and the citrate buffer is exchanged for the final buffer solution such as phosphate buffered saline. The ultrafiltration process uses a tangential flow filtration format (TFF). This process uses a membrane nominal molecular weight cutoff range from 30 -500 KD. The membrane format can be hollow fiber or flat sheet cassette. The TFF processes with the proper molecular weight cutoff retains the LNP in the retentate and the filtrate or permeate contains the alcohol; citrate buffer; final buffer wastes. The TFF process is a multiple step process with an initial concentration to a siRN A
concentration of 1 -3 mg/mL. Following concentration, the LNPs solution is diafiltered against the final buffer for 10 -20 volumes to remove the alcohol and perform buffer exchange. The material is then concentrated an additional 1-3 fold. The final steps of the LNP process are to sterile filter the concentrated LNP solution and vial the product.
Analytical Procedure:
1) siR A concentration
The siRNA duplex concentrations are determined by Strong Anion-Exchange High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (SAX-HPLC) using Waters 2695 Alliance system (Water Corporation, Milford MA) with a 2996 PDA detector. The LNPs, otherwise referred to as RNAi Delivery Vehicles (RDVs), are treated with 0.5% Triton X-100 to free total siRNA and analyzed by SAX separation using a Dionex BioLC DNAPac PA 200 (4 χ 250 mm) column with UV detection at 254 nm. Mobile phase is composed of A: 25 mM NaClC , 10 mM Tris, 20% EtOH, pH 7.0 and B: 250 mM NaC104, 10 mM Tris, 20% EtOH, pH 7.0 with liner gradient from 0-15 min and flow rate of 1 ml/min. The siRNA amount is determined by comparing to the siRNA standard curve.
2) Encapsulation rate
Fluorescence reagent SYBR Gold is employed for RNA quantitation to monitor the encapsulation rate of RDVs. RDVs with or without Triton X-100 are used to determine the free siRNA and total siRNA amount. The assay is performed using a SpectraMax M5e microplate spectrophotometer from Molecular Devices (Sunnyvale, CA). Samples are excited at 485 nm and fluorescence emission was measured at 530 nm. The siRNA amount is determined by comparing to the siRNA standard curve.
Encapsulation rate = (1- free siRNA/total siRNA) *100%
3) Particle size and polvdispersitv
RDVs containing 1 μg siRNA are diluted to a final volume of 3 ml with 1 *
PBS. The particle size and polydispersity of the samples is measured by a dynamic light scattering method using ZetaPALS instrument (Brookhaven Instruments Corporation,
Holtsville, NY). The scattered intensity is measured with He-Ne laser at 25°C with a scattering angle of 90°.
4^ Zeta Potential analysis
RDVs containing 1 μg siRNA are diluted to a final volume of 2 ml with 1 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.4). Electrophoretic mobility of samples is determined using ZetaPALS instrument (Brookhaven Instruments Corporation, Holtsville, NY) with electrode and He-Ne laser as a light source. The Smoluchowski limit is assumed in the calculation of zeta potentials.
Lipid analysis
Individual lipid concentrations are determined by Reverse Phase High- Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) using Waters 2695 Alliance system (Water Corporation, Milford MA) with a Corona charged aerosol detector (CAD) (ES A Biosciences, Inc, Chelmsford, MA). Individual lipids in RDVs are analyzed using an Agilent Zorbax SB- Cl 8 (50 x 4.6 mm, 1.8 um particle size) column with CAD at 60 °C. The mobile phase is composed of A: 0.1% TFA in H20 and B: 0.1% TFA in IPA. The gradient changes from 60% mobile phase A and 40% mobile phase B from time 0 to 40% mobile phase A and 60% mobile phase B at 1.00 min; 40% mobile phase A and 60% mobile phase B from 1.00 to 5.00 min; 40% mobile phase A and 60% mobile phase B from 5.00 min to 25% mobile phase A and 75% mobile phase B at 10.00 min; 25% mobile phase A and 75% mobile phase B from 10.00 min to 5% mobile phase A and 95% mobile phase B at 15.00 min; and 5% mobile phase A and 95% mobile phase B from 15.00 to 60% mobile phase A and 40% mobile phase B at 20.00 min with flow rate of 1 ml/min. The individual lipid concentration is determined by comparing to the standard curve with all the lipid components in the RDVs with a quadratic curve fit. The molar percentage of each lipid is calculated based on its molecular weight.

EXAMPLE 1
Mouse In Vivo Evaluation of Efficacy
LNPs utilizing Compounds 1-2, in the nominal compositions described immediately above, were evaluated for in vivo efficacy and induction of inflammatory cytokines in a luciferase mouse model. The siRNA targets the mRNA transcript for the firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase gene (Accession # Ml 5077). The primary sequence and chemical modification pattern of the luciferase siRNA is displayed above. The in vivo luciferase model employs a transgenic mouse in which the firefly luciferase coding sequence is present in all cells. ROSA26- LoxP-Stop-LoxP-Luc (LSL-Luc) transgenic mice licensed from the Dana Farber Cancer Institute are induced to express the Luciferase gene by first removing the LSL sequence with a recombinant Ad-Cre virus (Vector Biolabs). Due to the organo-tropic nature of the virus, expression is limited to the liver when delivered via tail vein injection. Luciferase expression levels in liver are quantitated by measuring light output, using an IVIS imager (Xenogen) following administration of the luciferin substrate (Caliper Life Sciences). Pre-dose luminescence levels are measured prior to administration of the RDVs. Luciferin in PBS (15mg/mL) is intraperitoneally (IP) injected in a volume of 150 μL. After a four minute incubation period mice are anesthetized with isoflurane and placed in the IVIS imager. The RDVs (containing siRNA) in PBS vehicle were tail vein injected n a volume of 0.2 mL. Final dose levels ranged from 0.3 to 3 mg/kg siRNA. PBS vehicle alone was dosed as a control.
Three hours post dose, mice were bled retro-orbitally to obtain plasma for cytokine analysis. Mice were imaged 48 hours post dose using the method described above. Changes in luciferin light output directly correlate with luciferase mRNA levels and represent an indirect measure of luciferase siRNA activity. In vivo efficacy results are expressed as % inhibition of luminescence relative to pre-dose luminescence levels. Plasma cytokine levels were determined using the SearchLight multiplexed cytokine chemoluminescent array
(Pierce/Thermo). Systemic administration of the luciferase siRNA RDVs decreased luciferase expression in a dose dependant manner. Greater efficacy was observed in mice dosed with Compound 1 containing RDVs than with the RDV containing the octyl-CLinDMA (OCD) cationic lipid (Figure 1 ). OCD is known and described in WO2010/021865.
Rat In Vivo Evaluation of Efficacy and Toxicity
LNPs utilizing Compound 1 in the nominal compositions described above, were evaluated for in vivo efficacy and increases in alanine amino transferase and aspartate amino transferase in Sprague-Dawley (Crl:CD(SD) female rats (Charles River Labs). The siRNA targets the mRNA transcript for the ApoB gene (Accession # NM 019287). The primary sequence and chemical modification pattern of the ApoB siRNA is displayed above. The RDVs (containing siRNA) in PBS vehicle were tail vein injected in a volume of 1 to 1.5 mL. Infusion rate is approximately 3 ml/min. Five rats were used in each dosing group. After LNP administration, rats are placed in cages with normal diet and water present. Six hours post dose, food is removed from the cages. Animal necropsy is performed 24 hours after LNP dosing. Rats are anesthetized under isoflurane for 5 minutes, then maintained under anesthesia by placing them in nose cones continuing the delivery of isoflurane until ex-sanguination is completed. Blood is collected from the vena cava using a 23 guage butterfly venipuncture set and aliquoted to serum separator vacutainers for serum chemistry analysis. Punches of the excised caudate liver lobe are taken and placed in RNALater (Ambion) for mRNA analysis. Preserved liver tissue was homogenized and total RNA isolated using a Qiagen bead mill and the Qiagen miRNA-Easy RNA isolation kit following the manufacturer's instructions. Liver ApoB mRNA levels were determined by quantitative RT-PCR. Message was amplified from purified RNA utilizing a rat ApoB commercial probe set (Applied Biosystems Cat #
RN01499054_ml). The PCR reaction was performed on an ABI 7500 instrument with a 96- well Fast Block. The ApoB mRNA level is normalized to the housekeeping PPIB (NM 011149) mRNA. PPIB mRNA levels were determined by RT-PCR using a commercial probe set (Applied Biosytems Cat. No. Mm00478295_ml). Results are expressed as a ratio of ApoB mRNA/ PPIB mRNA. All mRNA data is expressed relative to the PBS control dose. Serum ALT and AST analysis were performed on the Siemens Advia 1800 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer utilizing the Siemens alanine aminotransferase (Cat# 03039631) and aspartate aminotransferase (Cat# 03039631 ) reagents. Greater efficacy was observed in rats dosed with Compound 1 containing RDV than with the RDV containing the octyl-CLinDMA cationic lipid (Figure 2). Additionally, lower elevations in LFTs (ALT/AST) were observed in rats dosed with Compound 1 containing RDV than with the RDV containing the octyl-CLinDMA cationic lipid (Figure 3).
Determination of Cationic Lipid Levels in Rat Liver
Liver tissue was weighed into 20-ml vials and homogenized in 9 v/w of water using a GenoGrinder 2000 (OPS Diagnostics, 1600 strokes/min, 5min). A 50 μΐ, aliquot of each tissue homogenate was mixed with 300 uL of extraction/protein precipitating solvent (50/50 acetonitrile/methanol containing 500 nM internal standard) and the plate was centrifuged to sediment precipitated protein. A volume of 200 μΐ, of each supernatant was then transferred to separate wells of a 96-well plate and 10 μΐ samples were directly analyzed by LC/MS-MS.
Standards were prepared by spiking known amounts of a methanol stock solution of Compound 1 or OCD into untreated rat liver homogenate (9 vol water/weight liver). Aliquots (50 μί) each standard/liver homogenate was mixed with 300 μΐ, of extraction/protein precipitating solvent (50/50 acetonitrile/methanol containing 500 nM internal standard) and the plate was centrifuged to sediment precipitated protein. A volume of 200 uL of each supernatant was transferred to separate wells of a 96-well plate and 10 μΐ of each standard was directly analyzed by LC/MS-MS.
Absolute quantification versus standards prepared and extracted from rat liver homogenate was performed using an Aria LX-2 HPLC system (Thermo Scientific) coupled to an API 4000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Applied Biosystems). For each run, a total of 10 L sample was injected onto a BDS Hypersil C8 HPLC column (Thermo, 50 x 2mm, 3 μηι) at ambient temperature (Figure 4).
