Human interferon alpha derivative and pegylated products thereof thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the biological medicine technology field, be specifically related to pegylated products thereof and the preparation and the purposes of human interferon alpha derivative, human interferon alpha derivative.
Background technology
(interferon is the active protein with broad-spectrum antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory function that exists in the class body IFN) to human interferon, is one of cytokine that is used for the earliest clinical treatment.Human interferon can be divided into three types, i.e. human interferon-alpha, and human interferon-β, human interferon-gamma also can be further divided into some hypotypes according to the aminoacid sequence difference of various IFN.Prove that through a large amount of clinical studyes human interferon-alpha is a kind of important antitumor and antiviral therapy medicine.At present China clinical most popular mainly be recombinant human interferon-alpha-1a, α-2a and α-1b.
Human interferon-alpha is made up of 165 amino acid, and molecular weight is about 19000 dalton.There is more than 20 gene member in the I type family of finder's interferon alpha at present, and wherein most of encode functional protein has about 90% homology each other on nucleotide level.But, no matter be human interferon-alpha-2a, human interferon-alpha-1b and human interferon-alpha-1a, as pharmaceutical grade protein, its antiviral specific activity only is 1 * 10
8IU/mg, and owing to easily produce antigen antibody reaction, poor stability, the many shortcomings of untoward reaction are very limited on clinical treatment when plasma clearance height, heavy dose.
At present, can be by the synthetic on a large scale human recombination protein of engineered means, prepare human interferon derivative or analogue, solved the immunogenicity problem that heterologous protein causes to a great extent, but still can't overcome poor stability, plasma clearance is fast and bioavailability is low shortcoming.
The result that these shortcomings cause is: need frequent injection human interferon just can reach effective plasma treatment concentration, and, all can cause after the per injection Plasma Concentration than great fluctuation process, form " Feng Yigu " effect of drug level, so just increased the risk of medical expense and untoward reaction.
Polyethyleneglycol modified proteinic technology is a kind of new technology that is used to improve pharmacokinetics character in the protein drug body that grows up over past ten years.It is that activated polyglycol molecule (PEG) is bonded on the protein molecule surface, thereby influences proteinic space structure, finally causes the change of the various biochemical properties of protein.
PEG is the amphipathic molecule of the inertia long-chain that is polymerized by the oxygen vinyl monomer.Now existing multiple different PEG can be for utilizing.Its active function gene of the PEG that is activated can be coupled to certain privileged sites (such as amino, sulfydryl or other nucleophiles) of treatment molecule, can effectively control the purity of modified outcome, makes the simpler and also easier evaluation of quality product of technology.
Sequential analysis is found: the 1st N-terminal of the α 1a of human interferon-alpha family, α 2a and α 1b is cysteine residues, its-SH and 29 Cys-disulfide linkage formed between the SH, thereby the peptide molecule that makes human interferon-alpha becomes curling sterie configuration, if the n terminal residue of existing human interferon-alpha is modified with Pegylation PEG, its Pegylation modification rate is very low, only reach 2~5%, and the pegylated products thereof that obtains contains non-aminoterminal modifies isomer, influences the purity of the pegylated products thereof of human interferon-alpha.
