Description

Nucleic acid, composition containing nucleic acid, conjugate, preparation method and application Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to nucleic acids capable of inhibiting the expression of factor XII gene and compositions and conjugates containing the same. The disclosure also relates to methods of making and uses of these nucleic acids, compositions and conjugates.
Background
Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease characterized by recurrent episodes of severe swelling. The most common areas of swelling of the body are the extremities, the face, the intestines and the airways. The onset may be spontaneous or may be due to physical trauma or stress. Laryngeal (airway) edema can be life threatening as it can lead to asphyxia death.
Factor XII is a serine protease expressed primarily in the liver and found in the blood, having dual functions in the endogenous coagulation pathway and the kinin-kallikrein (kinin-kallikrein) system. The kinin-kallikrein system plays a role in inflammation, blood pressure control, coagulation and pain. The active form of factor XII (also known as FXII, F12 or Hageman factor) binds to and cleaves prekallikrein in the factor XI and kallikrein systems in the coagulation cascade, producing the active forms FXI and kallikrein, respectively.
Factor XII is one of the key targets for the treatment of HAE. By inhibiting the expression of factor XII, the occurrence of HAE can be effectively inhibited. Therefore, silencing gene expression from the gene level, blocking factor XII production, would certainly be the most desirable therapeutic approach. Small interfering RNAs (sirnas) can inhibit or block the expression of any target gene of interest in a sequence-specific manner based on the mechanism of RNA interference (RNAi), thereby achieving the purpose of treating diseases.
Suitable siRNA sequences and modifications and their delivery systems are two key technologies in small RNA drug development.

Detailed Description
The following describes in detail specific embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
In the present disclosure, FXII mRNA refers to a sequence as shown in Genbank accession No. NM _ 000505.3. Further, unless otherwise specified, the term "target gene" used in the present disclosure refers to a gene expressing the above FXII mRNA, and the term "target mRNA" refers to the above FXII mRNA.
Definition of
In the above and below, capital C, G, U, A represents the base composition of nucleotides, unless otherwise specified; the lower case letter m indicates that one nucleotide adjacent to the left side of the letter m is a methoxy-modified nucleotide; the lower case letter f indicates that one nucleotide adjacent to the left side of the letter f is a fluoro-modified nucleotide; the lower case letter s indicates a phosphorothioate-based linkage between two nucleotides adjacent to the left and right of the letter s; p1 indicates that the adjacent nucleotide to the right of P1 is a 5 '-phosphate nucleotide or a 5' -phosphate analogue modified nucleotide. In some embodiments, P1 is a VP, Ps, or P that represents a specific modification, wherein the letter combination VP represents that one nucleotide adjacent to the right of the letter combination VP is a vinyl phosphate modified nucleotide, the letter combination Ps represents that one nucleotide adjacent to the right of the letter combination Ps is a phosphorothioate modified nucleotide, and the capital letter P represents that one nucleotide adjacent to the right of the letter P is a 5' -phosphate nucleotide.
In the above and below, the "fluorine-modified nucleotide" refers to a nucleotide in which the hydroxyl group at the 2 '-position of the ribosyl group of the nucleotide is substituted with fluorine, and the "non-fluorine-modified nucleotide" refers to a nucleotide or a nucleotide analog in which the hydroxyl group at the 2' -position of the ribosyl group of the nucleotide is substituted with a non-fluorine group. "nucleotide analog" refers to a group that can replace a nucleotide in a nucleic acid, but that differs in structure from adenine ribonucleotide, guanine ribonucleotide, cytosine ribonucleotide, uracil ribonucleotide, or thymine deoxyribonucleotide. Such as a heteronucleotide, a bridged nucleotide (BNA for short) or an acyclic nucleotide. The "methoxy-modified nucleotide" refers to a nucleotide in which the 2' -hydroxyl group of the ribosyl group is substituted with a methoxy group.
In the present context, the expressions "complementary" or "reverse complementary" are used interchangeably and have the meaning well known to the person skilled in the art, i.e. in a double stranded nucleic acid molecule the bases of one strand pair with the bases on the other strand in a complementary manner. In DNA, the purine base adenine (a) always pairs with the pyrimidine base thymine (T) (or uracil (U) in RNA); the purine base guanine (C) always pairs with the pyrimidine base cytosine (G). Each base pair comprises a purine and a pyrimidine. Two strands are considered to be complementary to each other when adenine on one strand always pairs with thymine (or uracil) on the other strand and guanine always pairs with cytosine, and the sequence of that strand can be deduced from the sequence of its complementary strand. Accordingly, "mismatch" in the art means that in a double-stranded nucleic acid, the bases at the corresponding positions are not paired in a complementary fashion.
In the above and below, unless otherwise specified, "substantially reverse complementary" means that there are no more than 3 base mismatches between the two nucleotide sequences involved; "substantially reverse complementary" means that no more than 1 base mismatch exists between two nucleotide sequences; "completely reverse complementary" means that there is no base mismatch between two nucleotide sequences.
In the above and below, the "nucleotide difference" between one nucleotide sequence and another nucleotide sequence means that the former has a change in the base type of the nucleotide at the same position as compared with the latter, for example, in the latter, when one nucleotide base is A, in the case where the corresponding nucleotide base at the same position of the former is U, C, G or T, it is considered that there is a nucleotide difference between the two nucleotide sequences at that position. In some embodiments, when a nucleotide in situ is replaced with a nucleotide without a base or its equivalent, it is also believed that a nucleotide difference is created at that position.
In the above and the following, particularly in describing the preparation method of the siRNA, the siRNA-containing composition or the siRNA conjugate of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the Nucleoside monomer (Nucleoside monomer) means modified or unmodified Nucleoside phosphoramidite monomers (sometimes referred to as Nucleoside phosphoramidites) used in solid phase synthesis of phosphoramidites, depending on the kind and order of nucleotides in the siRNA or siRNA conjugate to be prepared. Solid phase phosphoramidite synthesis is a method used in RNA synthesis well known to those skilled in the art. Nucleoside monomers for use in the present disclosure are all commercially available.
In the context of the present disclosure, "conjugated," means that two or more chemical moieties, each having a particular function, are linked to each other in a covalent linkage, unless otherwise indicated; accordingly, "conjugate" refers to a compound formed by covalent linkage between the various chemical moieties. Further, "siRNA conjugate" means a compound formed by covalently attaching one or more chemical moieties having a specific function to siRNA. Hereinafter, the siRNA conjugates of the present disclosure are also sometimes simply referred to as "conjugates". The siRNA conjugate is understood as a general term of the siRNA conjugate, a general term of the siRNA conjugate represented by formula (305) and formula (307), or an siRNA conjugate represented by formula (305), formula (307), formula (308), depending on the context. In the context of the present disclosure, a "conjugate molecule" should be understood as a specific compound that can be conjugated to an siRNA by a reaction, ultimately forming an siRNA conjugate of the present disclosure.

The present disclosure provides an siRNA conjugate comprising the above siRNA and a conjugate group conjugated to the siRNA.
Generally, the conjugate group comprises at least one targeting group that is pharmaceutically acceptable and optionally a linker (linker), and the siRNA, the linker and the targeting group are linked in sequence. In some embodiments, the targeting group is 1-6. In some embodiments, the targeting group is 2-4. The siRNA molecule may be non-covalently or covalently conjugated to the conjugate group, e.g. may be covalently conjugated to the conjugate group.
