Description

Column chromatography PEG and interferon analogue protein-n terminal site-directed coupling method and product thereof
Technical field
The present invention is under the jurisdiction of protein modification and water-soluble polymer coupling protein, polypeptide and two mutants thereof or analogue field in a broad sense; Statement is comparatively particularly; The present invention relates to a kind of column chromatography that utilizes and realize polyoxyethylene glycol and interferon analogue (Interferons Analogs; IFNs-A) protein-n distal point specificity link coupled method; And utilize one type of Pegylation recombinant human interferon alpha 2 analogue proteinate that this method obtains and said this type tool is pharmaceutically long-acting, efficient, the recombinant protein compounds of reduced immunogenicity characteristic is as prolonged action preparation class production of medicine and application.
Background technology
Interferon, rabbit (Interferon; IFN) be the general designation of a cytokine family; The Interferon, rabbit of mammal can be divided into few types such as α, β, γ, ω; Antiviral, antitumor and immunoregulation effect with wide spectrum; Recombinant human interferon alpha 2 (Recombiant Human Interferon wherein; RhIFN) (Interferon alfacon-1, IFN-con) all approved listings are used to treat B-mode or hepatitis C, multiple sclerosis, rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis, malignant tumour (Fei Hejiejinshi disease, melanoma, mammary cancer etc.), hair white blood disease (HairyCell Leukemia) and AIDS card Podbielniak knurl etc. the consensusIFN of α-1b, α-2a, α-2b, β-1b, γ and α type; Calendar year 2001 and 2002, U.S. FDA ratified Pegylation (Polyethylene Glycol again respectively; PEG) two kinds of prolonged action preparation listings of Interferon Alpha-2b (PEG-Intron) and Intederon Alpha-2a (Pegasys); Compare with common Interferon, rabbit; Can realize 1~2 week injection administering mode once, obtain better accessibility, curative effect and security, become the drug of first choice or a line medicine of treatment chronic viral hepatitis and rheumatic arthritis at present; But the coupling of PEG and IFN is not dot characteristics (site-specific Pegylation) in PEG-Intron and the Pegasys molecule, and this has brought problem and trouble for the quality controllability of product, and the external activity of molecule is significantly reduced; PEG-Intron is that the PEG coupling of 12kDa gets by molecular weight; Its prolongs not enough plasma clearance transformation period, and Pegasys is that the PEG coupling of 40kDa get by molecular weight, and distribution is too small in its body; Make the recurrence rate of virus after the drug withdrawal higher, so prolonged action preparation exists further optimization and improved needs.
Obviously adopt some specificity PEG coupling mode, can realize the homogeneity of PEG-IFN molecule on molecular weight and molecular structure simultaneously, also can improve the external activity of PEG-IFN molecule.Existing multiple coupling strategy is realized the some specificity coupling of PEG-IFN; Comprising: 1) USP 5; 985,263 have announced the method and the product thereof of a kind of PEG relative specificity coupling Histidine (histidine), PEG succinic diamide carbonic ether (succinimidyl carbonate PEG; SC-PEG) but relative specificity and 34 hyte propylhomoserin (His34) couplings form PEG-His34-IFN alpha, the higher biological activity of conjugates tool in this site; 2) WO2006/004959 has described the method and the product thereof of 86 free halfcystines (Cys86) specificity coupling PEG maleinamide (PEG maleimide) in a kind of IFN of utilization alpha-1b aminoacid sequence; 3) tyrosine (Tyr) that discloses the 85th of a kind of point mutation IFN alfa or 86 among the WO2008/074230 is Cys; Utilize a kind of PEGization reagent of sulfydryl reaction again; Like maleimide-PEG, vinyl sulfone(Remzaol-PEG, iodo-acetamide-PEG and positive pyridine disulphide-PEG etc.; Realize some specificity PEG and IFN α-2a, IFN α-2b, the coupling of IFN-con etc.
Another kind of important some specificity coupling strategy is the coupling of protein-n terminal (N-is terminal) some specificity.(1) such as Wetzel R proposed to realize the amino highly selective coupling of the terminal alfa of polypeptide N-through control pH value in nineteen ninety; (3) such as Chang TK find that in 1994 subtilase enzymes (subtiligase) has the effect of enzymatic PEG selectivity link coupled; GaertnerHF etc. (2) have described various PEG reactive groups that can selectivity coupling protein N-terminal amino group in 1996, and on interleukin-8, G-CSF equimolecular, use; Nearer also have the scholar to adopt recombinant DNA technology (4), through expressing the terminal coupling target protein of PEG point specificity N-in trans-glutaminases (transglutaminase) the mediation microbe body.
The control pH value of passing through that proposes in nineteen nineties such as above-mentioned Wetzel R realizes on the amino highly selective link coupled basis of the terminal alfa of polypeptide N-; The Kinstler OB of U.S. Amgen company and Gabrial etc. have described in further detail through reducing method and the product thereof that the pH value can make N-terminal amino groups such as monomethyl polyoxyethylene glycol aldehyde radical (PEG-ALD) specificity coupling rhG-CSF and Interferon alfacon-1; See USP 5,824 for details, 784/USP 5; 985; 265/USP 7,090, patents such as 835 B2 and US2006/0233746 A1 and CN 1896103A; Kinstler etc. realize that through reducing the pH value PEG-ALD selectivity coupling protein N-is terminal; When the pH value is under the condition of acid (like pH 4.5), and the amino linked reaction probability with PEG-ALD of the terminal alfa of N-is amino far above the epsilon on the Methionin on rhG-CSF or the IFN-con molecule; So when linked reaction continues the long period, most PEG-ALD will occur and be coupled on rhG-CSF or the terminal alfa amino of IFN-con molecule N-, form PEG-rhG-CSF or PEG-IFN-con compound single, fixed point; Therefore, form condition single, the terminal highly selective of albumen N-and comprise low pH value and long reaction times, need relatively low PEG-ALD input amount in addition.And the pH value improves the coupling that can quicken PEG-ALD and protein molecular amino, just can lose PEG-ALD this moment to the terminal selectivity of albumen N-, forms and modifies the proteinic mixtures of PEG-more.In fact, U.S. Pat P 4,002,531 and the Shaw etc. that equal 1977 at Royer GI are at the U.S. Pat P4 of nineteen ninety, this are also all had in 904,584 and address.
Fee CJ (USP 2006/0128945 A1) has announced that a kind of gel chromatography that utilizes carries out the technology that protein PEG modifies; Propose because protein and the speed difference of PEGization protein in gel chromatography moving phase; Use chromatography column to carry out the PEGization linked reaction and possibly more be prone to produce single coupled product; But the method for Fee CJ (6) does not relate to the PEGization linked reaction that needs add catalyzer, the terminal specificity coupling technology of nonprotein N-yet.The method of utilizing a kind of solid phase PEGization technology point specificity modified recombinant human interferon alfa-2a (IFN a-2a) has been described in (5) such as nearest Lee BK; And obtained and IFNa-2a albumen N-end link coupled PEG-IFN; But this method is the coupled product that has just obtained the terminal highly selective of albumen N-through quite similar catalytic reaction conditions such as use and Kinstler OB; Therefore, in essence, pH value but not chromatography media or chromatography condition through the control reaction system make PEG-ALD highly selective coupling protein N-end; And because the restriction in reaction times reduces the linked reaction rate, more free IFN a-2a appears.
Just delivered crystal structure analysis as far back as (7) such as nineteen eighty-two Miller about recombinant human interferon alpha 2 alfa, after researched and analysed human interferon alfa and beta structure and function (8) (9) again, can learn that according to above-mentioned document the receptor binding domain of IFN alfa mainly comprises AB loop (Arg22, Leu26; Phe27, Leu30, Lys31, Arg33; His34), helixB (Ser68), helix C (Thr79, Lys83; Tyr85, and Tyr89), helix D (Arg120, Lys121; Gln124, Lys131, Glu132) with helix E (Arg144, Glu146).And point mutation Arg22, Leu26, Phe27, Leu30, Lys31; Arg33, His34, Phe36, Arg120; Lys121, Gln124, Tyr122, Tyr129; Lys131, Glu132, Arg144 or Glu146 obtain IFN alfa two mutants (IFN alfa mutants, IFN α m) biological activity and will significantly descend more than 5 times.Interferon, rabbit alfa has two disulfide linkage, respectively between Cys 1-Cys 98 and Cys 29-Cys 138; In PEG-Intron (the PEG coupling compound of one type of PEG-IFN alfa-2b and molecular weight 12kDa) molecule, be merely 11% (10) of common IFN alfa-2b in its activity of PEG-IFN alfa-2b of Cys 1 (N-is terminal) coupling PEG; And according to analyzing in the coupling site; In one type of PEG-IFN alfa-2a of Pegasys (the PEG coupling compound of one type of PEG-IFN alfa-2a and molecular weight 40kDa) molecule not with Cys 1 (N-is terminal) link coupled PEG-IFN alfa-2a; Terminal and the non-natural IFN alfa ideal coupling site (11) of N-is described, and the also non-suitable coupling site in Lys or His site.
Flexibly connect chain (Flexible linker) (GlyGlyGlyGlySer) n be used for two proteic fusions of different activities and be connected existing history (12) more than 20 years, and clinical application does not see that it is prone to by enzymolysis or tool immunogenicity.
In sum, external PEG albumen N-distal point specificity linked reaction has multiple, and its main policies is through improving the PEG activating group the amino selectivity of the terminal alfa of N-to be realized.Yet; Through retrieval; Through ion exchange chromatography with IFNs analogue (IFNs Analogs; IFNs-A) Methionin epsilon on amino " sealing " and realize the specificity coupling that PEG-ALD is amino with IFNs-AN-terminal methionine alfa, and realize that simultaneously single step purification obtains single, as to fix a point N-end coupling PEG-IFNs-A product research document and patent and also do not appear in the newspapers so far.

With aforesaid method and selected condition thereof and the mono-modified PEG-IFNs-A elution peak sample that obtains through LC-MS chromatogram trypsin digestion peptide figure analysis; Important and find out of a clear sky: the coupling site of activatory PEG is that the N-of IFNs-A is terminal;, fixed point specificity coupled product, i.e. IFNsA-N-30, IFNsA-N-40 and IFNsA-N-20 (see embodiment 3) single like 30kDa PEG-ALD, 40kDa PEG-ALD or 20kDa PEG-ALD and IFNs-A albumen N-end; And the purity of mono-modified PEG-IFNsA elution peak sample is measured its purity of confirmation greater than 95% through efficient gel chromatogram (SEC) and performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and is like Fig. 3, shown in Figure 4.
Adopt same chromatography and PEGization condition; The result who compares IFNs-α and IFNs-α-A chromatography column PEGization; Be surprised to find that greatly: the yield of the PEG-IFNs-α-A of the terminal pointed decoration of fusion rotein IFNs-N-that α-A obtains is significantly greater than not merging the PEG-IFNs-α that flexibly connects chain; And the external activity of PEG-IFNs-α-A is also apparently higher than PEG-IFNs-α (seeing table 1 and table 4 for details); Explain that fusion flexibly connects chain (GlyGlyGlyGlySer) t and can obviously improve the terminal site-directed coupling rate of N-,, also make PEGization that the influence of the external activity of IFNs-α-A is significantly reduced (seeing table 4 for details) simultaneously because of the avtive spot of coupling site away from IFNs-α.
The present invention also confirms (as shown in table 3); Only the pH value with above-mentioned reaction system is lowered to 4.0; Use mPEG-ALD can make mono-modified PEG-IFNs-α-A elution peak area account for total elution peak area and significantly be reduced to 50%; Unreacted IFNs-α-A elution peak accounts for total elution peak area can significantly be increased and reach 50%, modifies PEG-IFNs-α-A elution peak more and disappears; The sample of mono-modified PEG-IFNs-α-A elution peak confirms that through LC-MS trypsin digestion peptide figure analysis the coupling site of PEG-ALD is still terminal for the N-of IFNs-α-A; Prompting is under above-mentioned ion exchange chromatography condition, and the acid ph value condition is not the terminal principal element of PEG-ALD selectivity coupling IFNs-α-A N-.
The present invention also finds; Select for use can with PEG-NHS ester (the polyoxyethylene glycol N-hydroxy-succinamide Acibenzolar) modifier of protein propylhomoserin reaction; Adopt above-mentioned cation-exchange chromatography; The pH value of reaction system is 6.0~7.0, can obtain peak area greater than 70% PEG and single, the site-directed coupling product (as shown in Figure 5) of N-end of IFNs-α-A; Same reaction conditions adopts gel chromatography, also can obtain peak area greater than 70% PEG and single, the site-directed coupling product (as shown in Figure 6) of N-end of IFNs-α-A.
In liquid phase; If adopt and above-mentioned chromatography column PEGization reacting phase reactant ratio, condition and the time length together; The linked reaction product of mPEG-ALD and mPEG-SPA and IFNs-α-A; Measure through efficient gel and to show, 23%~48% the PEG-IFNs-α-A of only having an appointment usually is mono-modified PEG-IFNs-α-A, and all the other 37%~64% be many modification PEG-IFNs-α-A compound; 13~14% unreacted IFNs-α-A, obviously different with PEGization linked reaction proportion of products on the chromatography column (like Fig. 7, shown in 8).
Adopt strategy and the method identical with IFNs-α-A, analyze IFNs-β and can obtain the conclusion similar with IFNs-α-A (as shown in table 1) with above-mentioned IFNs-α with IFNs-β-A with above-mentioned IFNs-α.
The present invention also finds and confirms: under certain condition; Cation exchange medium absorption IFNs-A albumen; And can " seal " the Methionin epsilon amino that IFNs-A is positioned at molecular surface; Thereby make the alfa of PEG-ALD or PEG-NHS specificity coupling IFNs-A molecule N-terminal methionine amino; Form single, the terminal fixed point of N-PEG-IFNs-A, like IFNsA-N-30 etc. (30kDa PEG-ALD and IFNs-A albumen N-end are single, fixed point specificity coupled product), this PEG-ALD selects the terminal specificity of albumen N-and the reduction of unprovoked pH value or be due to the acidity; And terminal fusion of N-flexibly connects chain (GlyGlyGlyGlySer) t and can obviously improve the terminal site-directed coupling rate of N-; Meanwhile, the purity of collected single, the terminal fixed point of N-PEG-IFNs-A compound is greater than (like Fig. 2, shown in Figure 3) more than 95%; Explain that the reaction of chromatography column PEGization can realize single, the site-directed coupling of specificity IFNs-A N-end synchronously, and the purifying of PEG-IFNs-A coupling compound.
Further experiment is more wondrous; In chromatography (comprising IX and gel chromatography) or traditional liquid-phase reaction system; The linked reaction of interferon fusion protein IFNs-A and PEG-ALD or PEG-NHS obtains the N-end yield of PEG-IFNs-A single, fixed point and all is significantly higher than common interferon protein IFNs, the reaction tendency basically identical of IFN α and IFN β and PEG.
Another important discovery is; The external biological activity of PEG-IFNs-A is significantly higher than the PEG-IFNs with molecular weight; Explain that terminal flexible polypeptied chain (GlyGlyGlyGlySer) t that merges of IFNs N-also can make the avtive spot of the coupling site of PEG away from IFNs, thereby obviously reduced the PEG molecule the active influence of IFNs (seeing table 4 for details); In addition; Even the external activity of PEG-IFN α 2b-A-N30 is significantly higher than IFN α-2b-A and IFN α-2b; This result is unexpected, because it has been generally acknowledged that the coupling meeting of macromole PEG significantly reduces the activity of IFNs-A or IFNs; Obviously, this discovery has potential and important clinical application value; Along with increase PEG-IFNs-N10~40 of coupling PEG molecular weight or the external activity of PEG-IFNs-A-N10~40 reduce one by one; But at PEG-IFNs-N40 or PEG-IFNs-A-N40 place; The reduction of external activity is particularly remarkable, significantly active " flex point " that reduces occur; And the diPEG-IFNs-N40 of two 20kDa PEG of coupling or its external activity of diPEG-IFNs-A-N40 significantly are lower than PEG-IFNs-N40 or PEG-IFNs-A-N40 with equimolecular quantity; This points out simultaneously, double-stranded PEG or the coupling of dibit point to the influence of external activity greater than strand PEG or single site; Therefore, the present invention confirms, the N-terminal amino group of first-selected strand PEG-ALD coupling IFNs-A.
Comprehensive various physico-chemical properties, biological activity, medicine generation and immunogenicity testing data and the result who is obtained; The present invention confirms first and confirms: as long-acting, efficient and reduced immunogenicity preparation; PEG-IFN α 2bA-N30 or PEG-IFN β 1bA-N30 have more advantage than PEG-IFN α 2bA-N10, PEG-IFN α 2bA-N20, PEG-IFN α 2bA-N40, PEG-IFN β 1bA-N10, PEG-IFN β 1bA-N20 or PEG-IFN β 1b A-N40, should be most preferably.Therefore, the first-selected 30kDa PEG-ALD of Pegylation recombinant human interferon alpha 2 analogue albumen of the present invention and IFNs-A N-end is single, the polyethyleneglycol derivative of site-directed coupling, i.e. PEG-IFNsA-N30.

The present invention is important and be surprised to find that (seeing for details shown in the table 4); The PEGization interferon fusion protein is that the external biological activity of PEG-IFNs-A is significantly higher than the PEG-IFNs with molecular weight; Explain that terminal flexible polypeptied chain (GlyGlyGlyGlySer) t that merges of IFNs N-can make the avtive spot of the coupling site of PEG away from IFNs, thereby obviously reduced the PEG molecule the active influence of IFNs; In addition, the external activity of PEG-IFN α 2b-A-N10 is significantly higher than IFN α-2b-A and IFN α-2b, and this result is unexpected; Because; It has been generally acknowledged that the macromolecular coupling of PEG meeting significantly reduces the activity of IFNs-A or IFNs, obviously, this discovery has potential and important clinical application value; The progressively echelon reduction of PEG-IFNs-N10~40 that the terminal coupling PEG of IFNs or IFNs-A protein-n propionic aldehyde is obtained or its external activity of PEG-IFNs-A-N10~40 along with the increase of coupling PEG molecular weight; But at PEG-IFNs-N40 or PEG-IFNs-A-N40 place; The reduction of external activity is particularly remarkable, significantly active " flex point " occur; In addition, the diPEG-IFNs-N40 of two 20kDa PEG of coupling or its external activity of diPEG-IFNs-A-N40 significantly are lower than PEG-IFNs-N40 or PEG-IFNs-A-N40 with equimolecular quantity.This points out simultaneously, double-stranded PEG (is duplex structure like 40kDa PEG-ALD) or the coupling of dibit point to the influence of external activity greater than singly connecting PEG (is single-stranded structure like 30kDa PEG-ALD) or single site.Therefore, the present invention confirms, the N-terminal amino group of first-selected strand PEG-ALD coupling IFNs-A.
The pharmacokinetics test of PEG-IFNs-A
The plasma clearance transformation period (t1/2) (seeing for details shown in the table 5) of healthier rat tail vein injection PEG-IFN α 2bA-N10, PEG-IFN α 2bA-N20, PEG-IFN α 2bA-N30 and PEG-IFN α 2bA-N40; Discovery is along with the increase of PEG molecular weight; The plasma clearance transformation period significant prolongation of PEG-IFN α 2bA-N10~40; But occur once more in the plasma half-life of PEG-IFN α 2bA-N40 " flex point "; Promptly the increasing degree in the plasma half-life that the increase of this PEG molecular weight brings obviously reduces, and increases to 20kDa with from 20kDa from 10kDa like the molecular weight of PEG to increase to 30kDa, and all increased about about 50% the plasma half-life of PEG-IFN α 2bA-N20 or PEG-IFN α 2bA-N30; And the molecular weight of PEG increases to 40kDa from 30kDa, and but only increased about 10% the plasma half-life of PEG-IFN α 2bA-N40; Compare with PEG-IFN α 2bA-N40; Though the plasma half-life of PEG-IFN α 2bA-N30 and the difference of maximum plasma concentration are not remarkable; But nearly four times of its volume of distribution apparently higher than PEG-IFN α 2bA-N40; This possibly obviously reduce relevantly with the subcutaneous absorption of PEG-IFN α 2bA-N40, also has potential clinical therapeutics meaning simultaneously.
The further drug metabolism unexpected discovery of test (shown in figure 18); Rat tail vein injection super large dosage PEG or PEG-IFNs-A; Adopt the ELISA method to measure the PEG content in the urine; Injection PEG20 and PEG-IFN α 2bA-N20 group can measure a considerable amount of PEG to be got rid of through urine, and injection PEG30, PEG40, PEG-IFN α 2bA-N30 and PEG-IFN α 2bA-N40 group can obviously reduce by detected PEG content.Such result has exceeded people's understanding and experimental result in the past; Because; It has been generally acknowledged that: GCW molecular filtration aperture is 60-70kDa or 3-5nm, and the PEG molecule has the hydrodynamic force volume much bigger than sphaeroprotein (hydrodynamic volume), and the molecular scale of the PEG of 20kDa molecular weight (molecular size) can reach 7nm; Much larger than aforementioned GCW molecular filtration aperture; Inject PEG20 in theory and PEG-IFN α 2bA-N20 should not remove from kidney, but adopt the content of PEG in the responsive anti-PEG antibody ELISA method monitoring urine, the PEG that but can detect a great deal of gets rid of from urine; This possibly be simultaneously the explanation that the above-mentioned plasma clearance transformation period " flex point " phenomenon occurs.Obviously, this discovery especially has meaning and value for the exploitation prolonged action preparation.
