Abstract

Se suministran métodos para la síntesis de conjugados poliméricos de citoquinas y sus antagonistas de unión al receptor, especialmente un interferón-beta no glicosilado, conjugados que retienen una potencia biológica elevada. La preparación de conjugados poliméricos de acuerdo con los métodos reduce o evita la inhibición estérica de interacciones receptor-ligando que comúnmente se producen a partir de la unión de polímeros a las regiones de unión al receptor de las citoquinas, como así también a sus análogos agonistas y antagonistas. Se suministra, además, conjugados y composiciones producidos por tales métodos. Los conjugados retienen un elevado nivel de potencia biológica comparados con los producidos por los métodos tradicionales de acoplamiento de polímeros que no se han orientado para evitar los dominios de unión al receptor de citoquinas. En ensayos in vitro, la potencia biológica de estos conjugados de interferón-beta no glicosilado es sustancialmente mayor que la del interferón-beta no conjugado y es similar a la del interferón-beta-1ª glicosilado. Los conjugados muestran además mayor vida in vitro comparados con la correspondiente citoquina no conjugada. Se suministra, además, kits que comprenden tales conjugados y composiciones, y métodos de uso de tales conjugados y composiciones en una variedad de aplicaciones diagnósticas, profilácticas y terapéuticas, incluyendo el tratamiento de la esclerosis múltiple. Reivindicación 1: Un método para aumentar la potencia biológica de un interferón-beta no glicosilado, que comprende el acoplamiento selectivo de uno o más polímeros sintéticos solubles en agua al aminoácido amino terminal de dicho interferón-beta, en el cual el aminoácido amino terminal se localiza en forma remota con respecto al dominio (a los dominios) de unión al receptor de dicho interferón-beta. Reivindicación 10: El método de la reivindicación 3, en el cual dicho polímero es un polialquilenglicol. Reivindicación 24: Un conjugado que comprende un interferón-beta acoplado covalentemente en su aminoácido amino terminal a uno o más polímeros sintéticos solubles en agua, en el cual la potencia biológica de dicho conjugado de interferón-beta aumenta en comparación con el mismo interferón-beta en el cual uno o más de los mismos polímeros sintéticos solubles en agua se ha acoplado al azar a residuos de lisina accesibles a solventes. Reivindicación 55: El método de la reivindicación 50, en el cual dicho trastorno físico que responde al interferón-beta se selecciona del grupo que consiste en cáncer, una enfermedad infecciosa, un trastorno neurodegenerativo, un trastorno autoinmune y un trastorno genético. Reivindicación 65: Un método para determinar la cantidad de un polímero que se une al amino terminal de una proteína que presenta un residuo de serina o de treonina N-terminal, en un conjugado polímero-proteína sintetizado por alquilación reductiva, que comprende: a) hacer reaccionar el conjugado con una cantidad suficiente de un agente oxidante durante un tiempo suficiente para escindir el polímero del residuo de serina o de treonina; y b) determinar el aumento en la preparación de la porción de proteína no conjugada. Reivindicación 71: Un método para la ruptura oxidativa selectiva de un residuo de serina o treonina N-terminal de una proteína bioactiva sin oxidar residuos de aminoácidos esenciales para la función de dicha proteína bioactiva, que comprende: a) ajustar la concentración de iones H de una solución de dicha proteína bioactiva a un pH de entre alrededor de 7 y alrededor de 8; b) mezclar dicha solución de proteína bioactiva con alrededor de 0,5 a alrededor de 5 moles de un peryodato por mol de proteína bioactiva; y c) incubar la mezcla durante por lo menos una hora a una temperatura de entre alrededor de 2ºC y alrededor de 40ºC.Methods are provided for the synthesis of cytokine polymer conjugates and their receptor binding antagonists, especially a non-glycosylated interferon-beta, conjugates that retain high biological potency. The preparation of polymeric conjugates according to the methods reduces or prevents steric inhibition of receptor-ligand interactions that commonly occur from the binding of polymers to the receptor binding regions of the cytokines, as well as their agonist analogs. and antagonists. Conjugates and compositions produced by such methods are also supplied. Conjugates retain a high level of biological potency compared to those produced by traditional polymer coupling methods that have not been oriented to avoid cytokine receptor binding domains. In in vitro assays, the biological potency of these non-glycosylated interferon-beta conjugates is substantially greater than that of unconjugated interferon-beta and is similar to that of glycosylated interferon-beta-1. The conjugates also show greater life in vitro compared to the corresponding unconjugated cytokine. In addition, kits comprising such conjugates and compositions, and methods of using such conjugates and compositions in a variety of diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic applications, including the treatment of multiple sclerosis are provided. Claim 1: A method for increasing the biological potency of a non-glycosylated interferon-beta, comprising selective coupling of one or more water-soluble synthetic polymers to the amino terminal amino acid of said interferon-beta, in which the amino terminal amino acid is remotely locates with respect to the receptor binding domain (domains) of said interferon-beta. Claim 10: The method of claim 3, wherein said polymer is a polyalkylene glycol. Claim 24: A conjugate comprising an interferon-beta covalently coupled in its amino terminal amino acid to one or more water-soluble synthetic polymers, in which the biological potency of said interferon-beta conjugate increases compared to the same interferon-beta in which one or more of the same water soluble synthetic polymers has been randomly coupled to solvent-accessible lysine residues. Claim 55: The method of claim 50, wherein said physical disorder that responds to interferon-beta is selected from the group consisting of cancer, an infectious disease, a neurodegenerative disorder, an autoimmune disorder and a genetic disorder. Claim 65: A method for determining the amount of a polymer that binds to the amino terminal of a protein that exhibits an N-terminal serine or threonine residue, in a polymer-protein conjugate synthesized by reductive alkylation, comprising: a) reacting the conjugate with a sufficient amount of an oxidizing agent for a time sufficient to cleave the polymer from the serine or threonine residue; and b) determine the increase in the preparation of the unconjugated protein portion. Claim 71: A method for the selective oxidative breakdown of an N-terminal serine or threonine residue of a bioactive protein without oxidizing amino acid residues essential for the function of said bioactive protein, comprising: a) adjusting the H ion concentration of a solution of said bioactive protein at a pH of between about 7 and about 8; b) mixing said bioactive protein solution with about 0.5 to about 5 moles of a periodate per mole of bioactive protein; and c) incubate the mixture for at least one hour at a temperature between about 2 ° C and about 40 ° C.
