Background technology
As far back as nineteen fifty-seven, the people such as lssacs find that the cell of virus infection produces a kind of factor, can support antiviral infection, the copying of viral interference, thereby called after Interferon, rabbit (interferon, IFN).Interferon, rabbit be by deactivation or live virus function after permissive cell, the one group of glycoprotein being produced by permissive cell genome encoding.Its activity and antigenicity all depend on the protein in molecule, and irrelevant with its glycosyl.According to its source and structure, IEN can be divided into IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ, they are produced by white corpuscle, fibroblast and activating T cell respectively.IFN-α is polygene product, has more than ten to plant different subtype, but their biological activity is basic identical.IFN is apart from outside antivirus action, in addition antitumor, immunomodulatory, control cell proliferation and cause the effects such as heating.The Interferon, rabbit using clinically at present obtains by gene recombination technology mostly.
IFN is that chronic viral hepatitis is through the effective first-line treatment medicine of clinical verification.That clinical use is more is IFN α-2a and the IFN α-2b of natural structure.The two all belongs to fugitive Interferon, rabbit, and the transformation period short (4~16h), serum-concentration is very low after injection 24h.Its pharmacokinetics process influence in vivo the late result of its antiviral therapy.According to current 3~6MU/kg, the administrated method of 3 times weekly, Interferon level presents typically " peak-paddy curve " in vivo.Interferon, rabbit serum level fluctuates widely and easily makes virus levels knock-on, produces resistance, reduces result for the treatment of.Meanwhile, fugitive Interferon, rabbit exists toxic side effects large, and people's life-time service tolerance is poor, and immunogenicity waits by force not enough.Therefore, fugitive Interferon, rabbit is modified, extended its transformation period in vivo, maintain the stable of the interior Plasma Concentration of body, will contribute to improve the validity of its treatment viral hepatitis, and alleviate toxic side effect.
Polyoxyethylene glycol (polyetnylene glycol, PEG) is the polymkeric substance of a kind of safety non-toxic, non-activity, is usually used in pharmaceutical grade protein and modifies.Albumen resistance to enzymolysis after modification, water-soluble increase, Increased Plasma Half-life, immunogenicity and toxicity reduce (Inada, et al., J.Bioact.And Compatible Polymers, 5:343 (1990) .Delgalo, et al., Critical Reviews in Therapeutic Drug Carrier systems, 9:249 (1992) kate, Advanced Drug Delivery Systems, 10:91 (1993)).The Chinese patent of Huffman-La Luoqi company: ZL93116479.6 and ZL97105433.9 disclose the preparation of PEG-inerferon conjugates, the Chinese patent 200580032850.2 of Schering Corp discloses the preparation of the preparation of stable Peg-Intron.At present, the human alpha interferon (PEGASYS of Huffman-La Luoqi and the PEGINTRON of Schering Corp) that existing two kinds of PEG modify is for the treatment of chronic the third type and hepatitis B.After both Pegylations, kidney clearance rate obviously reduces, and Increased Plasma Half-life (30~16h), immunogenicity reduce, and only need weekly administration 1 time.Aspect virus, be obviously better than fugitive Interferon, rabbit at removing HCV/HBV.The recent reactivity for the treatment of hepatitis C HCV-RNA can reach 69%, and sustained reaction rate reaches 39%, and conventional Interferon, rabbit is only 7%.Treatment hepatitis B HBeAg negative conversion rate can reach 37%; comprehensive response rate (be HBeAg turns out cloudy, HBV DNA suppress and ALT normalizing) is 35%; 61% patient follows HBVDNA to turn out cloudy (< 400copies/mL), and 7% has occurred that HBsAg turns out cloudy.And three indexs are only (15%, 25%, 12%) after conventional interferon therapy hepatitis B.Patient (ReddyKR, etal.Hepatology, 2001,33:433-438.Jessner W, et al.J Viral Hepat.2003,10:37-42.Shiffman ML, et al.Hepatology, 2004 of turning out cloudy without HBsAg; 40 (4, suppl 1): 314A.Davis GL, et al.Hepatology, 2003; 38:645-52.Janssen HL, et al.Lancet, 2005; 365:123-129.Cooksley WG et al..J Viral Hepat, 2003; 10:298-305.).
Recombinant human alpha interferon 2a (PEGASYS) decorating site that PEG modifies is Methionin, and recombinant human a interferon alpha-2 b (PEG-Intron) decorating site that PEG modifies is Histidine.Bibliographical information (Miller DL, et al.Science, 1982,215:689-690.Radhakrishnan R, et al.Structure, 1996; 4 (12): 1453-1463.Karpusas M, et al.Proc.Natl.Acad.sci.USA 1997,94:11813-11818), the receptor binding domain of IFN-α mainly comprises AB loop (Arg22, Leu26, Phe27, Leu30, Lys31, Arg33, His34), helixB (Ser68), helixC (Thr79, Lys83, Tyr85, Tyr89), helix D (Arg120, Lys121, Gln124, Lys131, and helixE (Arg144, Glu146) Glu132).The Histidine that the Methionin that PEGASYS modifies and PEG-Intron modify, all in above-mentioned receptor binding domain, is unfavorable for the combination of Interferon, rabbit and its acceptor.In addition, all non-specific single pointed decorations of end product after modifying by the two PEG, if PEGASYS is to modify Lys131 as main mixture (having 7 decorating sites), PEG-Intron modifies the mixture (having 4 decorating sites) that His34 is master.
The PEG in single site modifies the homogeneity that can simultaneously realize molecular weight and structure, improves biological activity and the interior security of body after modifying.Existing several different methods can realize the single site-specific sex modification of PEG to Interferon, rabbit.(1) WO2006/004959 disclose one utilize in IFN α-1b aminoacid sequence method and the product thereof of 86 free halfcystines (Cys86) specificity coupling maleinamide PEG (PEG maleimide); (2) in WO2008/074230, disclose by IFN α the 85th or 86 for amino acid mutation is Cys, recycling maleinamide PEG carries out specificity pointed decoration.(3) also can select containing holding the PEG of amino specific binding activity group to carry out N-terminal modification (as Chinese patent CN1229388C, CN100478359C and CN101381409A) to Interferon, rabbit with N.
The modification PEG of N-terminal, away from Interferon Receptors land, should be desirable decorating site from structural analysis.But the 1st of natural interferon alpha N end is halfcystine, and itself and 99 halfcystines form a pair of disulfide linkage (this disulfide linkage is very crucial to biological activity).Adopt the single-minded site PEG of interferon-alpha N-terminal is modified, modification rate is very low and large on biological activity impact.
For improving the activity of natural interferon, Amgen company of the U.S. has synthesized a kind of non-natural Interferon, rabbit (commodity are called Infergen for Consensus interferon, integrated interferon) first.Infergen is non-natural recombinantα-interferon of a kind of machine as calculated optimum combination, and its sequence is combined by 20 kinds of natural alpha-interferon hypotype sequence optimisation, and its antiviral activity has improved 5~10 times than natural interferon.1997, FDA approval Infergen was applied to the treatment of hepatitis C, and result of study shows that curative effect is obviously better than common Interferon, rabbit.U.S. Pat 4695623, US4897471, US5372808 disclose Interferon alfacon-1 and have had the interferon activity of wide spectrum, have stronger antiviral and antitumor and activate the activity of NK cell.But Infergen is identical with natural interferon alpha, there is the shortcomings such as poor stability, Half-life in vivo is short, immunogenicity is strong.N holds primary halfcystine to form disulfide linkage with 99 halfcystines simultaneously, can not effectively carry out N-terminal modification.Although the U.S. Pat 005985265A of Amgen company discloses the method terminal modified with the N of Infergen albumen, the biological activity no matter retaining at modification rate with after modifying is all starkly lower than the N-terminal of other albumen and modifies (recombinant methionyl human G-CSF G-CSF and recombinant human somatropin GH etc.).
Terminal modified for realizing the N of Interferon, rabbit, simultaneously according to homologous sequence supreme principle, the inventor has designed brand-new integrated interferon sequence, called after integrated interferon variant (super antiviral interferon, be called for short IFN-SA), now change restructuring integrated interferon variant into according to the nomenclature mo of Interferon, rabbit.Be made up of 171 amino acid, introduce Gly Ser Gly Gly Gly five amino acid sequence in N-terminal specialized designs, the single-minded site PEG that can realize N-terminal modifies.This structure is different from Infergen structure, and extracorporeal antivirus effect activity has improved 50% simultaneously.This novel texture and restructuring preparation and the application in antiviral property disease, obtained Chinese invention patent mandate, the patent No.: ZL01102915.3.
The invention provides the preparation method and application of a kind of restructuring integrated interferon variant (IFN-SA) polyethylene glycol conjugation thing (being called for short PEG-IFN-SA).It is modifier that the present invention preferably can hold the 20KD polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG-ALD) of the propionic aldehyde group of amino specific binding with N, select pH 4.5~6 conditions to modify, successfully obtained Pegylation restructuring integrated interferon variant conjugate (PEG-IFN-SA).This preparation method N holds single site chemical modification object, effectively improved this protein stability, extended the transformation period, reduced immunogenicity and toxic side effects.The medicine that is expected to become novel long-acting interferon prevention and treats the diseases such as viral infection disease, proliferative disease, enhancing immunologic function.
