Description

≪ Desc / Clms Page number 1 > Multicomponent multi-vesicles, their use and methods of making them.

The present invention relates to multiple vesicles, and more particularly to multifunctional multi-vesicles consisting of multiple components of a cyclic peptide and a phospholipid, its use and a method of preparing the same.

In general, among the candidate drugs that are expected to be potentially valuable, there are substances that are not able to enter the development phase due to their low solubility. The process of solubilizing a drug that is insoluble in water or an aqueous solution by any manipulation is called solubilization, which can increase the absorption of the drug. Conventional techniques using solubilization include ethanol or a surfactant, or in the form of a salt when an ionized group is present. In recent years, techniques using liposomes, microemulsions, cyclodextrins, and the like have been developed.

Currently, there are liposomes or vesicles in the spotlight. The liposome or vesicle is a spherical bio-nanomaterial having an inner space, and has a merit that a desired substance can be enclosed in the inner space and a drug can be delivered to a desired place. They also have the advantage that they can be widely applied not only in the field of drugs but also in the transfer of functional substances to skin cells in the cosmetics industry, encapsulation and transportation of various nutrients in the food industry.

However, there is a disadvantage that liposomes as carriers are limited in their use due to their low structural stability, and that only one substance can be trapped and moved to a desired location.

In order to overcome these disadvantages, we tried to make a liposome containing different substances into one liposome and simultaneously move and react various substances. For example, in the non-patent document 1, multiple liposomes have been disclosed, but there is no progress other than that, and the method described in the above paper is also very difficult. It is not only possible to make only experts who have made many years, There are big disadvantages.

Another example is the structure of the multivesicular body (MVBs) in the biological system. It plays an important role in protein sorting, targeting, degradation and recycling in the endocytosis and exocytosis processes. Although the functions and biogenetic principles of some formulas are not clearly explained, attention is focused on multimers having these high performance functions. This is also mostly produced using only one type of supramolecular building block and is only produced by an emulsion-based process, which is able to dynamically maintain yield in a metastable state rather than a thermodynamic equilibrium state It has disadvantages.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, it has been found that a complicated and hierarchical self-assembled nanostructure having a high performance function can be simply manufactured in the present invention.

Hereinafter, various aspects and various embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail.

As used herein, the term "peptide" means a linear molecule in which amino acid residues are joined together by peptide bonds.

The peptides of the present invention can be prepared according to chemical synthesis methods known in the art, particularly solid-phase synthesis techniques (Merrifield, J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 85: 2149-54 (1963) ; Stewart, et al., Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis, 2nd ed., Pierce Chem. Co .: Rockford, 111 (1984)).

An aspect of the present invention provides a method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising: (a) providing a first vesicle comprising a lipid bilayer structure; And (b) a second vesicle comprised of at least one annular peptide located in the first vesicle interior space, wherein (a) the first vesicle is a spherical vesicle comprising a lipid bilayer , (B) the second vesicle is a double-membrane spherical vesicle formed of a plurality of annular peptides, the annular peptide is a hydrophilic segment, a hydrophobic self-assembling segment, and a linker And a fatty acid is bound to the N-terminal, C-terminal or both terminal ends of the cyclic peptide. Its structure is shown in more detail in Fig.

In the present invention, "multivesicular vesicles (MVV)" refers to a multicyclic vesicle in which at least one second vesicle smaller than the first vesicle is captured in a first vesicle of one lipid bilayer do. Its structure is shown in Fig. Unlike conventional multilamellar, the present invention is a form in which a plurality of vesicles are dispersed in a vesicle inner space.

More specifically, the first and second vesicles were prepared with different components. Therefore, since the first vesicle and the second vesicle each have separate independent regions, it is preferable that the first vesicle and the second vesicle are separated from each other by one or more The carrier material can be sealed.

 The lipid constituting the first vesicle may be a phospholipid. This is characterized by being in the form of a vesicle as shown in Fig. The phospholipid is selected from the group consisting of egg yolk lecithin (phosphatidylcholine), soybean lecithin, lysolecithin, sphingomyelin, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin, natural phospholipids of plasmarogens, hydrogenation products dicetylphosphate obtainable from these phospholipids by conventional methods, distearoylphosphatidylcholine, dioloylphosphatidylethanolamine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, Phosphatidylethanolamine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylserine, eleostearoylphosphatidylcholine, eleostearoylphosphatidylethanolamine, and a mixture of fatty acids that can be obtained by lipid synthesis and hydrolysis thereof. Select from It may be more than one. The phospholipid is preferably an egg yolk lecithin (phosphatidylcholine). It is excellent in structural stability, can bind various ligands and receptors to the surface, has a thermal stability difference when mixed with the following cyclic peptide, It is possible to manufacture multiple vesicles controlled to have a desired structure through self-assembly.

Refers to a "sandwich-like" structure composed of amphiphilic lipid molecules (phospholipids) arranged as two molecular layers with a hydrophobic part of the lipid and a polar part outside the surface inside the surface.

Characterized in that it has an inner space isolated from the medium by a spherical first vesicle made of the lipid bilayer and can stably capture or encapsulate at least one second vesicle in the inner space.

Wherein the second vesicle is a spherical vesicle of a bilayer structure formed of a plurality of annular peptides, wherein the annular peptide comprises a hydrophilic segment, a hydrophobic self-assembling segment and a linker , A fatty acid may be bonded to the N-terminal, C-terminal or both terminal ends of the cyclic peptide.

Specifically, the second vesicle is an inner membrane formed by the cyclic peptide; And an outer membrane formed on the outer circumferential surface of the inner membrane formed by connecting the plurality of annular peptides, wherein the annular peptide is bonded by hydrophobic interaction and pi-pi interactions (pi-pi stacking).

The inner membrane has hydrophobic self-assembled fragments arranged in the direction of the outer membrane, the outer membrane has hydrophobic self-assembled fragments arranged in the direction of the inner membrane, and the inner membrane and the outer membrane have hydrophobic interactions between the hydrophobic self- The structure may be maintained. This type of molecular alignment and molecular alignment maximizes molecular alignment density and charge density, and allows stable stabi- lization of the alpha-helix secondary structure.

Therefore, as described above, the second vesicle made of the cyclic peptide is characterized by being a double vesicular spherical vesicle.

The hydrophilic fragment includes not only an alpha -helical structure that plays an important role in recognizing a specific molecule, but also an amino acid sequence containing more than 50%, preferably 60% or more of positively charged arginine residues. It does not. Since the hydrophilic fragment is completely constricted in the cyclic peptide, the alpha -helical structure is not solved and stably maintained, and the base for allowing multiple vesicles to have an electric double layer can be provided.

More specifically, the hydrophilic fragment includes an arginine rich motif (ARM) domain forming an alpha -helical structure, more preferably a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 having an alpha helical structure (hereinafter referred to as HIV- 1, which contains an amino acid sequence derived from the Rev protein, which is involved in the release of the intron-containing virus mRNA outside the nucleus, which encodes a protein essential for HIV-1 replication, It is already known that they have specific binding characteristics to each other and do not coagulate with each other.

In addition, when the ARM domain of the Rev protein is used, it can achieve a role of inhibiting the actual Rev protein.

More preferably, the hydrophilic alpha-helical domain may comprise the amino acid sequence of [SEQ ID NO: 1].

The cyclic peptide having the structure as described above may be bound without a linker, but preferably includes a linker having a length not to interfere with the molecular recognition specificity of the cyclic peptide in view of flexible characteristics. Wherein the linker comprises an amino acid (G) n consisting of glycine, an amino acid consisting of glycine-serine (e.g., (GS) n, (GSGS) n and (GGGS) n wherein n is at least one integer) An amino acid consisting of alanine, an amino acid consisting of alanine-serine, and another flexible linker such as a tether for a shaker potassium channel. However, glycine is most preferred because glycine can effectively access the phi-psi space and is less restrictive than other amino acid residues with long chains than alanine. Since serine is hydrophilic, a globular glycine chain can be dissolved. Therefore, a flexible linker composed of an amino acid composed of glycine-serine is most preferable.

That is, the cyclic peptide can be represented by the following formula (1) or (2).

The fatty acid may be a saturated fatty acid or an unsaturated fatty acid, and the saturated fatty acid may be selected from the group consisting of butyric acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, eicosanoic acid and docosano And the unsaturated fatty acid may be any one or more selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexanoic acid and erucic acid. Due to the flexible alkyl chains of these fatty acids, it is possible to enhance the structural rigidity of the cyclic peptide and to satisfy structural deficiencies to provide more closely bound cyclic peptides. Also, when multiple vesicles are formed, they act as a nanocontainer to prevent the substances contained in the first vesicle from being released to the outside. Saturated fatty acids are most preferably used for this effect, and stearic acid is most preferably used.

At this time, the fatty acid may be modified to react with an amine of the cyclic peptide. Preferably, the terminal of the fatty acid is succinimidyl succinate, succinimidyl propionate, succinimidyl butano Octadecanoate, N-hydroxysuccinimide, benzotriazole carbonate, maleimide, and OPSS.

The multiple vesicles according to the present invention are multi-component and multidimensional self-assembled nanostructures manufactured through self-assembly using different physical and charge characteristics among the components. Multiple vesicles of multicompartment can be prepared according to the charge characteristics and the differential physical properties according to the kinds of the components.

Since the formation of multiple vesicles is based on the principle of thermodynamic self-assembly, not only the stability to freezing and thawing cycles but also the structural stability of the similar nanostructures produced by the emulsion-based kinetic method is remarkably excellent, Since it has independent multiple compartments by the second vesicle, it is possible to encapsulate various transport materials and has an advantage of having high functionality.

Firstly, the present invention relates to a method wherein the cyclic peptide forms a small second vesicle in the lumen and the lipid forms the outermost large vesicle, so that the first and second vesicles of the different components form one , Different carrier materials may be enclosed within the multiple vesicles.

Since the multiple vesicles of the present invention are produced through self-assembly, they are carried out in a pure solution. Therefore, unlike the oil-based emulsion method, a large amount of organic solvent having toxicity is not left, It does not exhibit toxicity.

The first vesicles may have an average diameter in the range of 1 to 10 mu m and the second vesicles may have an average diameter in the range of 10 to 500 nm.

The multiple vesicles may have an electrical double layer, and more particularly the multiple vesicles have a zeta potential in the range of + 5-15 [deg.]. Generally, the first vesicles of the multiple vesicles should have near-neutral zeta potential because they are composed of charge neutral phospholipids. However, at least one second vesicle charged in the present invention is trapped in the first vesicle interior space And each second vesicle has its own stern layer, so that it is expected that uneven distribution of ions will occur in the lumen of the phospholipid. In sum, the nonuniformly charged lumen generates a potential across the outermost first veycicle and attracts negatively charged counter ions to the outer surface of the first veycicle.

Therefore, multiple vesicles behave as positively charged particles, even though they have a chemically natural surface, because they have a slipping plane on the outer surface as described above. This makes it possible to perform an uncommon multifunctional function (see FIG. 15 h).

Another aspect of the present invention relates to a drug delivery system comprising the multiple vesicles.

The present invention relates to a drug delivery vehicle comprising a rigid multi-vesicle form, wherein the multiple vesicles having the structure described above are characterized in that the multiple vesicles have an internal space between the first and second vesicles, , Which encapsulates any one or more of the same or different transport materials in an independent region of a multi-vesicle, and which is applied to the human body, It can be used as a drug delivery system.

In addition, liposomes composed of lipid components or structures such as vesicles and polymer particles have poor stability and are not easy to store, have a complicated manufacturing process, take too long a time for the manufacturing process, Or bio-toxicity due to the organic solvents used during the manufacturing process. However, since the multiple vesicles of the present invention are made of multiple constituents formed by a first vesicle composed of lipid and a second vesicle composed of a cyclic peptide, excellent structural stability in freezing and thawing cycles It is easy to store, easy to manufacture and easy to use, and does not use organic solvents, so it is not biocompatible or harmful to human body.

In the drug delivery system, surface charge plays an important role in determining the efficiency of delivering the carrier substance. Generally, in the case of liposomes, the charge carriers are not negatively charged because of the negative charge. Because the cell membrane is negatively charged, repulsion occurs.

Therefore, the multi-vesicle of the present invention has a positive zeta potential, unlike the liposome, despite the fact that the first vesicle present at the outermost periphery is composed of lipids, and thus has a general advantage of liposome, Can be obtained. In addition, the multiple vesicles of the present invention can provide a more promising approach because they achieve the effects described above without treating the first vesicle with any hydrophilic ligand.

The multiple vesicles of the present invention have a completely new absorption path that can not be obtained when the first vesicle and the second vesicle are present alone. For example, when a peptide having cell permeability is used (a conventional cell permeable peptide Particularly a peptide having an arginine-rich motif) has an absorption path similar to that of the present invention, and when it is prepared as a multiple vesicle, it is not absorbed into the nucleus but is concentrated around the nuclear membrane, Can be designed to release the vesicles and materials into the cytoplasm and secondly to have a differential absorption pathway in which the second vesicle is dense in the nuclear membrane of the cell and can concentrate the second vesicle material near the nuclear membrane . This series of processes is shown in more detail in Fig.

The carrier material may be any one or more carriers selected from the group consisting of proteins, peptides, nucleic acid molecules, saccharides, lipids, nanoparticles, compounds, and fluorescent materials.

The drug delivery system of the present invention is characterized in that multiple vesicles are formulated using a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Since the multiple vesicles of the present invention described above are used, In order to avoid the excessive complexity of the specification according to the present invention.

The drug delivery system of the present invention can be administered orally or parenterally. In the case of parenteral administration, the drug delivery system can be administered by intravenous injection, subcutaneous injection, muscle injection, intraperitoneal injection, and transdermal administration.

A suitable dose of the drug delivery vehicle of the present invention may vary depending on various factors such as formulation method, administration method, age, body weight, sex, pathological condition, food, administration time, administration route, excretion rate and reactivity, , But it may be an oral dose of preferably 0.001 to 100 mg / kg (body weight) per day.

The drug delivery vehicle can be prepared in unit dosage form by intramuscular injection into a multi-dose container by formulating it with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and excipient according to a conventional method. At this time, the formulations may be any one selected from the group consisting of solutions, suspensions, powders, granules, tablets and capsules.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to a process for preparing multiple vesicles comprising the steps of:

a) preparing an amphipathic peptide,

b) removing the protecting group at the terminal of the amphipathic peptide, self-assembling the peptide to prepare a cyclic peptide, and then binding a fatty acid to the cyclic peptide,

c) self-assembling the peptide functionalized with the fatty acid produced in step b) to prepare a second vesicle,

d) dissolving the phospholipid in a solvent, drying with a rotary evaporator, and then adding the second vesicle prepared in step c) and

e) repeating the cycle of d) freezing and thawing the solution at least once more.

First, a linear amphipathic peptide is prepared prior to the production of the cyclic peptide. FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a process of synthesizing a cyclic peptide according to the present invention and a cyclic peptide functionalized with a fatty acid.

Reference can be made to chemical synthesis methods, particularly solid-phase synthesis techniques, which are known in the art for preparing linear amphipathic peptides, first of all (Merrifield, J. Amer. Chem Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis, 2nd ed., Pierce Chem. Co .: Rockford, 111 (1984)).

The amphipathic peptide comprises a hydrophilic segment, a hydrophobic self-assembling segment and a linker, wherein the hydrophilic segment comprises an alpha -helical structure that plays an important role in recognizing a specific molecule But is not limited to, an amino acid sequence containing 50% or more, preferably 60% or more of positively charged arginine residues. When the amphipathic peptide is cyclized to form a cyclic peptide, the hydrophilic fragment is completely constricted in the cyclic peptide, so that the α-helical structure is not stably maintained, and the multiple vesicles form an electric double layer And the like.

More specifically, the hydrophilic fragment includes an arginine rich motif (ARM) domain forming an alpha -helical structure, more preferably a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 having an alpha helical structure (hereinafter referred to as HIV- 1, which contains an amino acid sequence derived from the Rev protein, which is involved in the release of the intron-containing virus mRNA outside the nucleus, which encodes a protein essential for HIV-1 replication, It is already known that they have specific binding characteristics to each other and do not coagulate with each other.

In addition, when the ARM domain of the Rev protein is used, it can achieve a role of inhibiting the actual Rev protein.

More preferably, the hydrophilic alpha-helical domain may comprise the amino acid sequence of [SEQ ID NO: 1].

[SEQ ID NO: 1]

TRQARRNRRRRWRR

The hydrophobic self-assembled fragment is contained in an amphipathic peptide. This is a part that makes it possible to form a bilayer structure by hydrophobic interaction with hydrophobic self-assembled fragments of other cyclic peptides when the amphipathic peptide is produced as a cyclic peptide through cyclization. In the present invention, 4 Or a tryptophan amino acid residue thereof.

The hydrophobic self-assembled fragment may comprise SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 3 below.

[SEQ ID NO: 2]

GWWWW

[SEQ ID NO: 3]

WWGWW

The amphipathic peptide having the structure as described above may be bound without a linker, but preferably includes a linker having a length that does not interfere with the molecular recognition specificity of the amphipathic peptide in terms of flexible characteristics. Wherein the linker comprises an amino acid (G) n consisting of glycine, an amino acid consisting of glycine-serine (e.g., (GS) n, (GSGS) n and (GGGS) n wherein n is at least one integer) An amino acid consisting of alanine, an amino acid consisting of alanine-serine, and another flexible linker such as a tether for a shaker potassium channel. However, glycine is most preferred because glycine can effectively access the phi-psi space and is less restrictive than other amino acid residues with long chains than alanine. Since serine is hydrophilic, a globular glycine chain can be dissolved. Therefore, a flexible linker composed of an amino acid composed of glycine-serine is most preferable.

Next, the end-protecting group of the amphipathic peptide synthesized in the step a) is removed and self-assembled to prepare a cyclic peptide, and then the fatty acid is bound to the cyclic peptide.

The fatty acid is preferably in a reaction-active form so as to be able to react with the amine of the cyclic peptide. To this end, the fatty acid is reacted with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters or sulfo N-hydroxysuccinimide sulfo-N-hydroxysuccinimide (Sulfo-NHS) esters and the like. In some cases, maleimide (MAL) or orthopyridyl disulfide (OPSS) may be used so as to react with a thiol group (see FIG. 2B).

The organic solvent is not particularly limited as long as it is not an organic solvent adversely affecting the lipid and the cyclic peptide. Examples of the organic solvent include ethyl ether, acetic acid, acetonitrile, methyl ethyl ketone, chloroform, (DMF), formaldehyde, dimethylsulfoxide, isopropanol, methanol, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethylsulfoxide , At least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ethanol, propanol, 1,3-butylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, 1,2-pentanediol, di-panthenol, dipropylene glycol, acetone and DIPEA may be used .

The step b) may be carried out at 20 to 100 ° C for 12 to 50 hours.

Next, c) self-assembling the peptide functionalized with the fatty acid produced in step b) to prepare a second vesicle.

Wherein the peptide functionalized with fatty acids has a concentration ranging from 1.5 μM to 30 μM which is equal to or higher than a critical aggregation concentration (CAC). There is a disadvantage in that the self-assembly process is not properly performed when the concentration is less than 1.5 μM or the concentration is more than 30 μM.

The peptide functionalized with the fatty acid was dispersed in an aqueous solution and the ultrasonic waves were treated for 10 to 30 minutes to self-assemble a second vesicle having a controlled structure.

Thereafter, d) the phospholipid is dissolved in an organic solvent, and the solvent is evaporated and decompressed to form a lipid film. At this time, the temperature can be carried out at 20 to 40 占 폚.

Finally, e) a second vesicle prepared in step c) is added to the lipid film, and the cycle of freezing and thawing is repeated at least once to prepare multiple vesicles.

In the case of the carrier material to be enclosed in the second vesicle, the carrier material is dissolved in water, dissolved in an aqueous solution, dissolved in an organic solvent and administered together in step c).

In the case of a carrier material to be sealed in the inner space between the first veycicle and the second veycicle, the carrier material may be dissolved in water, dissolved in an aqueous solution, dissolved in an organic solvent, and administered in step e) .

The cycle of freezing and thawing is characterized in that a freezing process at-200 to 150 ° C for 1 to 10 minutes and a thawing process at 40 to 60 ° C for 1 to 10 minutes are repeatedly performed, , Multiple vesicles having excellent structural stability against freezing and high temperature can be obtained.

FIG. 9D is a graph showing the calcein leakage assay measured before and after performing 5 freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) on the second vesicle (cPV) of Preparation Example 3 in which calcein was captured. The freeze-thaw cycle (FTCs) was performed at -196 ° C for freezing and at 55 ° C for thawing.

As shown in Figs. 9A to 9C, the first vesicle of Preparation Example 4 confirmed that calcein was completely released within 2 minutes, whereas the second vesicle of Preparation Example 3 required 30 minutes to completely release calcein Respectively. As a result, it was confirmed that the second vesicle of Preparation Example 3 was significantly superior to the first vesicle of Preparation Example 4 in structural stability due to membrane breakage.

Further, as shown in Fig. 9D, the second vesicle of Production Example 3 is also remarkably excellent in thermal stability. In general, freeze-thaw is used to destroy and reuse liposomes as part of liposome preparation methods. However, the second vesicle according to the present invention confirmed that there was almost no leakage of calcein trapped in the inner space despite the repeated freeze-thaw cycle. That is, it can be seen that the second vesicle of Production Example 3 has excellent stability even after heat change, and permeability to small molecules is maintained as it is.

Experimental Example  5. Second Vesicular  CD spectrum

One) Circular polarization Dichroism  Spectroscopy dichroism  (CD) spectroscopy).

The second vesicle (20 μM, 250 μl) of Preparation Example 3 was measured for CD spectra using a Chirascan Circular Dichroism spectrometer equipped with a Peltier temperature controller (Applied Photophysics, UK). The CD spectra of the samples were recorded at wavelengths from 190 nm to 260 nm using a 1 mm path length cuvette at various temperatures (4 to 94 ° C). At this time, the scan was performed under conditions of temperature change from 4 ° C. to 94 ° C. (FIG. 10A) and from 94 ° C. to 4 ° C. (FIG. 10B), and the experiment was repeated three times in total. The results were averaged, (molar ellipticity) is calculated for each amino acid residue.

2) Results

Figure 10 is the CD spectrum for the second vesicle of Preparation Example 3 under various temperature conditions. The concentration of the cyclic peptide functionalized with fatty acid of Preparation Example 2 used for preparing the second vesicle of Preparation Example 3 was 20 μM.

As shown in FIG. 10, the second vesicle (Preparation Example 3) prepared from the cyclic peptide functionalized with fatty acid according to the present invention (Preparation Example 2) It can be seen that it has high structural stability against thermal change. That is, it can be confirmed that the structure is almost maintained at 1 to 100 ° C. In addition, it can be confirmed that the second vesicle structure according to the present invention is reversibly changed according to the thermal change.

Experimental Example  6. First Vesicle  And multiplex Vesicular  Thermal Stability Analysis

Fig. 11A is an AFM image of the first vesicle prepared in Production Example 4, Fig. 11B is an AFM image of the dual-MVVs (cpBB 20 uM + EYPC (egg yolk L-a-phosphatidylcholine) 3 mg / m).

As shown in Fig. 11, it was confirmed that the first vesicle of Production Example 4 retained the structural stability even after the freeze-thaw cycle. As a result, it can be seen that a multi-vesicle made of a more elaborate binary component can be produced.

Specifically, freeze-thawing process in a defrost cycle, if the first lipid component chopping a glass transition temperature higher than the temperature (T g) of the constituting the cyclohexane is not particularly limited, in the present invention hayeoteumeuro use EYPC -15 ~ -7 ℃ Gt; 55 C. < / RTI >

11b, the presence of a first vesicle having a diameter of several hundred nanometers and a second vesicle having a diameter of several tens of nanometers was confirmed. In addition, a second vesicle was observed in the first vesicle interior space. Therefore, it can be seen that the second vesicles are embedded in the inner space of the first vesicles despite being composed of different constituents.

Experimental Example  7. Multi Vesiche  Structural Analysis

1) Purification of multiple vesicles of Preparation Example 5

In order to clarify the structural analysis of the final finished multi-vesicle, which was not subjected to purification and separation processes, in the previous experiment, a multi-vesicle without impurities was prepared by removing the unreacted second vesicle impurity. Cation exchange chromatography (CEX) was used to separate the second vesicle impurities unreacted with the multiple vesicles.

Specifically, to separate the unreacted second vesicle not captured in the lipid vesicle (first vesicle) from the multi-vesicle (dual-MVV) prepared in Preparation Example 5, it was immersed in a cation exchange resin (Dowex 50WX2 chloroform (chloride form 100-200 mesh, Sigma-Aldrich) was used. The cation exchange mini-column was prepared by placing some glass wool fibers on the bottom of a 5 ml syringe and placing 0.5 g / ml of the washed and swollen cation exchange resin in distilled water (500 μl) in the syringe .

The multiple vesicles of the finally isolated Preparation Example 5 were measured by the atomic force microscope measurement method of Experimental Example 3-1), and the results are shown in Fig.

2) Results of AFM analysis

As shown in Fig. 12, it was confirmed that only the pure vesicles of Preparation Example 5 were separated after the purification process through the cation exchange resin. It was also confirmed that a first vesicle having a diameter of several hundred nanometers and a second vesicle having a diameter of several tens of nanometers were present in the inner space thereof.

3) Results of cryo-TEM analysis

The multi-vesicle structure of the present invention was analyzed through cryo-TEM (cryo-TEM; 300 kV, -196 ° C) measurement. At this time, the sample was frozen using liquefied ethane in a container cooled with -196 占 폚 liquid nitrogen for cryogenic TEM.

13 is a cryo-TEM image of a multi-vesicle (dual-MVV) prepared from Preparation Example 5. Fig. The cyan line represents the circumference of the first vecicle and the yellow line represents the circumference of the second vecicle.

As shown in Figure 13, a second vesicle of 10 to 500 nm in size within a first vesicle having a diameter of from a few hundred nanometers to an average of 1 [mu] m to 10 [mu] m, as in the AFM image results Can be confirmed. Thus, the structure of the multiple vesicles of the present invention can be reconfirmed.

Experimental Example  8. Multiplexing with fluorescent material Vesiche  Structural Analysis

One) Confocal  Laser scanning microscope measurement method

To measure confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), 15 μl of the sample was mounted between the slide and cover glass and sealed with a nail polish. Images were measured using an LSM700 confocal laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany) and the data were analyzed using ZEN software. The results are shown in Fig.

2) Analysis results

Fig. 14 is a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) image for a multi-vesicle (quad-MVV) encapsulating the fluorescent substance of Production Example 6. Fig. In this case, Bg is an image of the background, Gr is an image of green fluorescence, and Rd is an image of red fluorescence. However, since the background image did not show actual fluorescence and there was a long exposure time before the green fluorescence image was taken, the background fluorescence in the green fluorescence image was observed outside of the multiple vesicles will be. Bar = 10 μm

As shown in Fig. 14, a quad-MVV encapsulated with a fluorescent substance prepared in Production Example 6 contained fluorescence (fluorescence) differently colored in separate compartments (or inner spaces) of the first veycicle and the second veycicle, It was confirmed that the probe was collected.

First, a negatively charged green fluorescent probe (carboxyfluorescein (FAM)) was captured in the second vesicle, and unreacted residual FAM was removed via anion exchange chromatography. Secondly, a second vesicle encapsulating a green fluorescent probe and a positively charged red fluorescent probe (rhodamine B, hodamine B; RDB) were simultaneously added to the phospholipid film. Next, a freeze-thaw cycle was performed. Through this process, a first vesicle encapsulating a red fluorescent probe; At least one second vesicle captured in the first vesicle interior space; And a green fluorescent probe (FAM) sealed in the inner space of the second vesicle.

That is, the second vesicles are captured in the first vesicle inner space, so that the first vesicles and the second vesicles have independent compartments (or inner spaces). It can be seen that the second vesicle has a section (or inner space) independent of the first vesicle and the first vesicle has an independent remaining section (or inner space) except the second vesicle.

In other words, since the second vesicle inner space is separated from the first vesicle, the substance existing in the inner space of the second vesicle does not leak into the inner space of the first vesicle, and the substance existing in the inner space of the first vesicle Are separated from each other and are not absorbed into the interior space of the second vecicle.

As shown in FIG. 14, it was confirmed that both green and red fluorescence were locally observed in the multiple vesicle structure prepared in Production Example 6, indicating that the second vesicle in which the green fluorescent probe was encapsulated in the multiple vesicles and the red fluorescence probe Indicating that both exist.

Furthermore, it was confirmed that green and red fluorescence were observed spatially separated in the multiple vesicles of Preparation Example 6, and that the first vesicle and the second vesicle had independent internal spaces, It can be seen that the material can be sealed. From these results, it can be seen that the multiple vesicles according to the present invention can have multiple vesicles of the four components as shown in FIG.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 9. Analysis of size distribution and surface charge state of multiple vesicles

1) Dynamic Light scattering  dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta Potential How to measure

1 ml of the second vesicle (cPV) (20 [mu] M) solution prepared in Preparation Example 3 and 1 ml of the first vesicle prepared in Preparation Example 4 were prepared by performing freeze-thaw cycles (3 mg / ml) . In addition, multiple vesicles (dual-MVV) (20 μM cyclic peptide functionalized with fatty acid of Preparation Example 2, 3 mg / ml phospholipid) prepared from Preparation Example 5 were prepared. Each of these samples was dissolved in distilled water. DLS and z-potential were performed at 25 ° C using a Nano ZS particle analyzer (Malvern Instruments Inc., UK) equipped with an HE-Ne laser operating at 633 nm.

2) Analysis of results

Figure 15 shows the size distributions (a, c, e) for the first vecicle, the second vecicle and the multiple vecicles and the zeta potentials (b, d, (g, h) of each vesicle derived from the zeta potential results. (D) dynamic light scattering (DLS) data of the second veycles prepared from the preparation example 3, c) dynamic light scattering (DLS) data of the first veycles prepared from the production example 4, e) (DLS) data of the multiple vesicles. B) the zeta potential data of the second vesicle prepared in Production Example 3, d) the zeta potential data of the first vesicle prepared in Production Example 4, f) the zeta potential data of the multiple vesicles prepared in Production Example 5 Potential data. Mean + s.d (standard deviation) (n = 6). All of the above data were measured on distilled water at 25 ° C.

As shown in Fig. 15, a dual vesicle made from Preparation Example 5 has a second vesicle having a diameter of several tens to several hundreds of nm in the inner space, and the second vesicle has a value of + 37.1 ± 1.3 (Zeta potential of positive).

These zeta-potential values show a reasonable correlation when the second vesicle is composed of cyclic peptides functionalized with fatty acids containing a large number of arginine residues.

In the present invention, it is preferred that the second vesicle has a zeta potential of + 30 ㎷ or more, because it has good colloidal stability and forms a stable dispersion in the solution. If the zeta potential of the second vesicle is less than +30 ㎷, the stability of the colloid is lowered and the dispersibility of the second vesicle may be lowered.

A multimodal size distribution was observed for the first vesicles prepared from Preparation Example 4. [ Specifically, it was confirmed that the average diameter of the first veycles was 1 to 10 탆, which was much larger than that of the second veycles.

The first vesicle was also measured with a zeta potential (-6.2 ± 1.0 ㎷) consistent with electrically neutral lipids.

Multiple vesicles were found to have an average diameter of about 1 to 10 μm, similar to diameters found in the first vesicle major population.

As shown in FIG. 15, the multiple vesicles were expected to have a nearly neutral zeta potential because the outer surface was composed of charge neutral phospholipids, but it was observed to have a totally different zeta potential (+ 10.6 ± 1.2 ㎷) . This can be seen as the formation of a region called the electric double layer by the uneven distribution of the counter-ions and co-ions near the surface of the charged second vesicle and the first vesicle.

15 (g)), the first layer (the fixed layer or the stern layer) formed on the surface of the second vesicle has a negatively charged negative Ions. On the other hand, in the second layer (diffusion layer) with a low charge density, the surface will be pulled to the point where the anion is referred to as a slipping plane. Finally, it can be seen that the zeta potential measured at the second vecicle is the zeta potential at the slipping plane of the second vecicle in the bulk fluid.

Based on this, the zeta potential of multiple vesicles can be seen to be more complex than the ion distribution around the second vesicles.

It can be expected that each second vesicle present in the inner space of the multiple vesicles has its own first layer (stern layer), resulting in uneven distribution of ions in the phospholipid lumen. Together, the unevenly charged lumen generates potential across the outermost phospholipid bilayer and attracts negatively charged counter ions to the outer surface of the double vesicles.

Thus, multiple vesicles, as described above, have a slipping plane on the outer surface, so that the double vesicles act as positively charged particles, even though they have a chemically natural surface.

Experimental Example  10. First Vesicle , The second Vesicle  And multiplex Vesicular  Intracellular absorption pathways (or pathways)

To compare the characteristics of the first vesicles, the second vesicles and the multiple vesicles according to the present invention for cellular internalization.

1) Cell culture

HeLa human uterine cancer cells were purchased from ATCC Cell Bank (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). HeLa cells were grown in RPMI 1640 (United Search Partners, Inc.) supplemented with inactivated 10% (v / v) bovine serum (FBS, United Search Partners, Austin, TX, USA) and 1% (v / v) antibiotic- Austin, TX, USA). The culture conditions were maintained in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO 2 and 95% air at 37 ° C. To observe fluorescence emission by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), a T75 flask (Nalge Nunc International, Naperville, IN, USA).

2) Confocal  Microscopic measurement method

1 x 10 4 cells were cultured in a Lab-Tek glass chamber slide (Nalge Nunc International, Naperville, IN, USA) in a 35 mm cell culture dish. After 24 hours, the glass chamber slides were taken out of the culture dish and loaded onto the chamber. The chamber was then attached to a microscope. The chamber maintained the temperature at 37 占 폚. 270 μl of OptiMEM medium was injected into the chamber, treated with 30 μl of the sample, and incubated for 4 hours. Fluorescence images were taken, digitized, and stored in a computer for later analysis.

At this time, the sample contained a second vesicle capturing FAM (carboxyfluorescein) prepared from 1) of Production Example 6, a first vesicle of Production Example 4 capturing RDB (rhodamine B), and a fluorescent substance of Production Example 6 Is enclosed in a multi-vesicle.

3) Analysis results

FIG. 16 is a view for observing how multiple vesicles according to the present invention are differentially absorbed into cells. Specifically, FIG. 16A is a graph for capturing FAM (carboxyfluorescein) prepared from 1) of Production Example 6 (CPV) was treated with cells, and bright field images and fluorescence images were photographed with a confocal microscope and then superimposed on the images. FIG. 16B shows the results obtained from Preparation Example 4 capturing RDB (rhodamine B) FIG. 16C shows an image obtained by photographing a bright vein image by confocal microscope after treating the prepared first vecicle with cells, and FIG. 16C is a view showing an image obtained by overlapping multiple vesicles , Cells were subjected to confocal microscopy, and bright field images and fluorescence images were taken, and then superimposed on the images.

16D is an image obtained by photographing green and red fluorescence signals of a cell treated with multiple vesicles enclosed with a fluorescent substance manufactured in Production Example 6 using a confocal microscope and then superimposing the image. The image interpolated in Fig. 16D is an enlarged image of Fig. 16D.

As shown in FIG. 16A, in HeLa cells treated with a second vecicle (cPV) capturing FAM (carboxyfluorescein) prepared from Preparation Example 6-1, green fluorescence was observed inside the nucleus of the cells Respectively.

The second vesicle (cPV) capturing the FAM (carboxyfluorescein) prepared from the preparation example 6-1 thereby has a corona form and is composed of an ARM peptide derived from Rev protein (SEQ ID NO: 1) , Cell permeability (CPP) and nuclear locus signal characteristic (NLS), indicating that a large amount of green fluorescence is detected in the nucleus of HeLa cells.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16B, in the cells treated with the first vecicle prepared in Production Example 4 capturing RDB (rhodamine B), it was confirmed that red fluorescence was specifically observed in the cytoplasm of the cells Respectively.

Taken together, the above results indicate that the multiple vesicles composed of the second vesicle and the first vesicle release the substance encapsulated in the first vesicle in the cell, the substance encapsulated in the second vesicle in the nucleus, It can be expected that it will have an absorption path to be released.

16C and 16D, however, it can be seen that the multiple vesicles of the present invention have absorption paths completely different from the above-mentioned predictions.

Specifically, observation of the cells treated with the dual-MVV enveloped with the fluorescent substance prepared in Preparation Example 6 revealed that a majority of yellow fluorescent signals were observed in the cytoplasm.

At this time, the yellow signal is a signal that appears as green (FAM of the second vecicle) and red (RDB of the first vecicle) fluorescence exists in colocalization.

The majority of the quad-MVV encapsulating the fluorescent material remains intact in the cell, and the payload from the quad-MVV is destroyed and released to be observed as green and red fluorescence .

That is, considering the results of FIG. 16A, since the second vesicle has nuclear locus signal (NLS) activity and cell permeability due to the ARM peptide (SEQ ID NO: 1) derived from Rev protein and the corona form, The red fluorescence in the second vesicle (cPV) emitted from the multi-vesicle (quad-hMV) encapsulating the fluorescent material should be present inside the nucleus.

However, it can be seen that the multiple vesicles encapsulated with the fluorescent substance in the present invention are only densely packed in the perinuclear region without the second vesicles that have been emitted across the inside of the cell nucleus .

In summary, the multi-vesicles (dual-MVV) encapsulating the fluorescent substance according to the present invention have absorption paths completely different from the intracellular absorption pathways of the first and second vecils, respectively, . In other words, the ARM peptide (SEQ ID NO: 1) derived from the coronary form of the second vecicle and the Rev protein constituting it has been found to be dependent on a specific intracellular location (cytoplasm, nucleus etc.) It means that the absorption path of the active site is changed and becomes inactive and has a completely different absorption pathway than when it exists alone.

When a peptide having intracellular permeability is produced using this property as a second vesicle, the multiple vesicles of the present invention firstly release the second vesicles and substances into the cytoplasm by the first vesicle, Can be designed to have a differential absorption pathway in which the second vesicle is dense in the nuclear membrane of the cell to allow intense release of the second vesicle material near the nuclear membrane. This series of processes is shown in more detail in Fig.
