Description

Interferon alpha mutant and polyethyleneglycol derivative thereof
Technical field
The present invention is general relates to interferon alpha mutant, its polyethyleneglycol derivative, the latter's preparation method, pharmaceutical composition and both purposes in the medicine of preparation treatment virus disease, relate to Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant, its polyethyleneglycol derivative especially, the latter's preparation method, pharmaceutical composition and both purposes in the medicine of preparation treatment virus disease.
Background technology
Interferon, rabbit (interferon, IFN) be a kind of cytokine class medicine with broad-spectrum disease resistance toxic action that is produced by animal body at first, produce according to it that position is different with the mechanism of action can be divided into big type such as α, β, γ, λ, and every kind big type can be divided into some little hypotypes, in the same big type between different hypotype on primary structure difference very little, very approaching on the above higher structure of secondary.In several big types, the α type is most widely used a kind of, and this kind of Interferon, rabbit of clinical application at present mainly comprises interferon alpha 2a, interferon alpha 2 b, interferon alpha 1b, Interferon alfacon-1 etc.Wherein Interferon alfacon-1 (consensus interferon or integrated interferon) is after known alpha-interferon is carried out sequence alignment, the highest amino acid of the frequency of occurrences is assigned to corresponding position separately, and the artificial design alpha-interferon of the alpha-non-natural amino acid sequence that obtains after indivedual positions are made amendment, the molecule that comprises the multiple amino acids sequence, but homology height to each other, their biologic activity is more than 10 times of natural alpha-interferon.
Though various alpha-interferons are being brought into play curative effect more and more widely in the process of current treatment viral infection disease, but himself poor stability, short characteristics of transformation period have also limited its further clinical application, have brought some troubles for patient's medication.Given this reason, fundamental research and the product development of a lot of long-acting interferons aspect have been carried out both at home and abroad, comprise interferon molecule self transformed, researched and developed the fusion rotein that comprises the interferon molecule aminoacid sequence, interferon molecule is carried out chemically modified, selects the appropriate drug delivery system to optimize to carry in the body of interferon molecule with drug effect performance process etc. that wherein the listing of polyethylene glycol modified interferon (Interferon, rabbit that belongs to chemically modified) is the maximum success that obtains in this field.
Polyoxyethylene glycol (polyethelene glycol, PEG) be a kind of linear polymer, because parents' characteristic of its excellent biological compatibility and not only hydrophilic but also close ester, being able to show one's talent from numerous chemical modifiers becomes the modifier of present research and most widely used protein and peptide drugs.Through the years of researches exploitation, the interferon alpha product of existing two PEG modification successfully goes on the market at present, be respectively the interferon alpha 2a (commodity are called " Pai Luoxin ") of the PEG modification of the interferon alpha 2 b modified of the PEG of U.S.'s Schering Plough (Schering-Plough) company (now being purchased by MSD Corp.) (commodity " wear happy can " by name) and Switzerland Luo Shi (Roche) company, respectively at calendar year 2001 and 2002 in U.S. listing, entered the inland of China in 2003 simultaneously and sell.The interferon alpha 2 b of modifying about the PEG of Schering Plough company is formed to some extent its prescription in Chinese patent application CN00808452.1 and is described; The interferon alpha 2a that the PEG of Roche Holding Ag modifies then has a detailed description in Chinese patent CN97113049.3.In addition, the interferon alpha product that also has more PEG to modify is is researched and developed, and is the Interferon alfacon-1 that the PEG of Intermune company exploitation modifies near the listing stage wherein.
Making a general survey of the development of PEG modified interferon α technology, mainly is the development that is accompanied by the PEG modification technique.Early stage research and development is mainly around non-specific site PEG modification technique, the modified derivative instability that selected PEG modifier purity is low, molecular weight is little (generally below 10KDa) and distribution range is wide, decorating site kind and quantity many and form causes modified outcome to form that heterogeneity, purity relatively low (about 85%), quality control are difficult for realizing, long-acting is not obvious and still have certain toxic side effect.The interferon alpha 2 b product that the PEG of above-mentioned Schering Plough company modifies just belongs to this type.Specificity site PEG modification technique has appearred in the development that is accompanied by the PEG modifier, because the purity of selected PEG modifier has obtained large increase, molecular weight can reach significantly constriction of the above and distribution range of 20KDa, and the improvement of modifying mechanism reduces decorating site kind and quantity, the modified derivative stability that forms improves, thereby makes the shortcoming of above-mentioned non-specific site PEG modification technique obtain improving significantly.
Specificity site PEG modification technique can be divided into three types again, and a kind of is to modify the target protein molecule with the PEG modifier with branched structure, reaches the purpose that reduces decorating site quantity by the stronger space steric effect of branched structure PEG modifier.The interferon alpha 2a product that the PEG of above-mentioned Roche Holding Ag modifies just belongs to this type.But because this so-called " specificity site " modification technique is from modifying the amino acid that can not accomplish only to modify single kind on the mechanism, can not accomplish only to modify the amino acid in single site, so the kind of decorating site and number are still numerous, as Chinese patent CN200380103341.1 the isomer that interferon alpha 2a (the PEG modified interferon α 2a product " Pai Luoxin " that comprises Roche Holding Ag) that branched structure PEG modifies has 12 decorating sites is disclosed.
Second kind is the amino acid whose free alpha-amino group of modifying protein molecule N-terminal, principle is that the free epsilon-amino of Methionin is compared and had lower pKa value in other site of free alpha-amino group and protein of protein N end amino acid, can with amido modified dose modification reaction take place under lower pH.But because the specificity of this pH selective reaction is not too high, even the modification reaction on the free epsilon-amino that Methionin still can take place under the lower pH, and modification may be covered the avtive spot of protein molecule, cause the modified outcome activity to reduce greatly, therefore this modification technique also is restricted in actual applications.
The third is with the sulfydryl on the sulfydryl modification agent modifying protein molecule halfcystine, because the halfcystine quantity in the protein molecule seldom, and the sulfydryl on most halfcystines is used to form intramolecularly or intermolecular disulfide bond, have only few free sulfhydryl groups can supply to modify, so the specificity of this modification reaction is very high.Disclose the interferon alpha 1b that a kind of sulfydryl PEG modifier is modified as Chinese patent application CN200510076676.X, utilized and had only the characteristics of a free sulfhydryl group with sulfydryl PEG modifier it to be modified in the interferon alpha 1b molecule.But the actual greatest problem of using of expanding of this kind technology is not have free cysteine residues in the natural protein molecule basically, can be difficult to obtain because of the pure product of protein that the stability that very significantly influences protein molecule and purge process (forming intramolecularly or intermolecular disulfide bond easily) are used in modification even have also, make modification can't realize (because in case form intramolecularly or intermolecular disulfide bond just do not have can be for the free cysteine of modifying); And the halfcystine of selecting natural site is modified the avtive spot that may cover protein molecule equally, causes the modified outcome activity to reduce greatly.The interferon alpha 1b that above-mentioned PEG modifies is just also lower because of activity residual rate after the lower biological activity of interferon alpha 1b self and the modification, thereby makes final PEG modified outcome activity lower, and practical application effect remains to be proved.
Interferon alpha kind hypotype is numerous in addition, have many sites can supply to change to produce the plain α product of active higher mutation disturbance in the sequence, disclosing a kind of activity as US Patent No. 4695623, US4897471, US5372808 is the Interferon alfacon-1 molecule of native sequences interferon alpha more than 10 times.So also can utilize these characteristics of interferon alpha to select the plain α of the low mutation disturbance of active height, good stability and toxicity to carry out PEG modifies, with drug effect, medicine generation and the security that improves or improve modified outcome, the Interferon alfacon-1 that the PEG of aforementioned Intermune company modifies just belongs to this type, and and for example Chinese patent application CN02159951.3 also discloses the Interferon alfacon-1 that a kind of branched structure PEG modifier is modified.But this kind of single utilization technology still can not solve the problem that modified outcome is formed that heterogeneity, purity difference, quality control are difficult for realizing, long-acting is not obvious and still had certain toxic side effect.
Summary of the invention
Primary and foremost purpose of the present invention provides a kind of cysteine mutant of Interferon alfacon-1, do not have the free cysteine residues can be undesirable for the free cysteine residues site that specificity site sulfydryl PEG modifier is modified or institute has or suddenly change in the existing interferon alpha to solve, cause the protein molecule instability, activity is low, separation and purification is difficult and be unfavorable for the problem of specificity site PEG modifier modification.

Renaturing inclusion bodies can adopt dilution refolding method, dialysis renaturation method or on-column refolding method.The dilution refolding method be by a step or multistep dilution with renaturation solution with the concentration dilution of denaturing agent below 0.5mol/L, so that protein molecule renaturation gradually under the situation of breaking away from the denaturing agent influence; The dialysis renaturation method is with 10 times of renaturation solutions with upper volume sex change liquid to be dialysed so that the concentration of denaturing agent is reduced to below the 0.5mol/L, plays the effect of renaturation equally; The on-column refolding method is that sex change liquid is directly gone up ion-exchange, hydrophobic molecule exclusion (gel) chromatographic column, carries out separation and purification and the renaturation of gradient elution to realize target protein simultaneously with the elute soln that contains continuous reduction denaturing agent concentration then.
The essentially consist of renaturation solution is the buffered soln of pH between 5.0-10.0, to guarantee the required basic alkaline environment of renaturation, can satisfy the buffered soln of this requirement including, but not limited to Tris-HCl, sodium borate buffer liquid.In order to prevent that the renaturation excessive velocities forms the disulfide linkage mispairing in the renaturation process, need in renaturation solution, add some oxidized forms and the reduced form sulfhydryl reagent redox equilibrium system material to forming, as the redox equilibrium system of Sleep-promoting factor B and reduced glutathion composition.Simultaneously for prevent the renaturation excessive velocities cause protein folding not exclusively, the disulfide linkage mispairing, can in the renaturation solution of above-mentioned essentially consist, add some other materials, as arginine, EDTA, metal ion and various molecular chaperones materials etc.The selection of these materials and dosage have a lot of reports in the prior art, repeat no more here.
The renaturation solution that above-mentioned dilution refolding method and dialysis renaturation method obtain, and the centrifugal supernatant that contains the Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant that soluble form expresses that directly obtains by fragmentation, and the centrifugal supernatant of fermentation culture of the Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant of expressing with soluble form, all need carry out further chromatographic separation and purification.Utilize Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant molecule and the impurity molecule difference on affine character, charge property, hydrophobic property, molecular weight size can successively select one or more the combination in ion affinity chromatography, exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, the gel separation chromatogram to carry out purifying.In order better to reach centrifugation, before chromatographic separation and purification, can treat parting liquid and carry out concentration, the method that can select is anti-molten behind the organic solvent deposit, anti-molten after saltouing, polyoxyethylene glycol concentrates, ultrafiltration and chromatography etc.
The Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant molecule that chromatographic separation and purification obtains can be with well known to a person skilled in the art that the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis adds the coomassie brilliant blue staining method or high performance liquid chromatography is determined purity; Determine molecular weight with mass spectroscopy; " interferon activity assay method " and " protein determination " partly stipulated with " Pharmacopoeia of People's Republic of China 2010 editions (three ones) " appendix, the interferon activity that obtains with mensuration is determined the specific activity of Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant divided by protein concn.
Wherein high performance liquid chromatography purity detecting method can adopt reversed-phased high performace liquid chromatographic or size-exclusion high performance liquid chromatography, but preferred size-exclusion high performance liquid chromatography, because this kind method is more convenient, accurate, quick.The number of theoretical plate that requires chromatographic column when adopting the size-exclusion high performance liquid chromatography is greater than 10000, and applied sample amount is between 5-100 μ l, and between the preferred 10-50 μ l, the chromatographic separation time is 3 times of main peak appearance time.
Study on the stability is Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant solution that chromatographic separation and purification is obtained under 20-45 ℃ environment long-term storage 3-6 month, regularly the variation of outward appearance is observed in sampling in this process, and detects the variation of major quality controlling indexs such as purity, activity.
The Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant molecule that chromatographic separation and purification obtains also need carry out animal drugs for test evaluation and animal acute toxicity test evaluation.
In a kind of embodiment preferred, Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant of the present invention is halfcystine with the 109th amino acid mutation from N end meter in the Interferon alfacon-1 aminoacid sequence, and it has the aminoacid sequence shown in the SEQ ID No.1.
In a kind of embodiment preferred, Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant of the present invention is halfcystine with the 110th amino acid mutation from N end meter in the Interferon alfacon-1 aminoacid sequence, and it has the aminoacid sequence shown in the SEQ ID No.2.
Second purpose of the present invention provides the polyethyleneglycol modified derivative of aforesaid Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant, to solve that existing interferon alpha polyethyleneglycol derivative is formed heterogeneity, purity actives is low, quality control is difficult for realizing or long-acting is not obvious and to still have problem such as certain toxic side effect.
For realizing this purpose, in the embodiment on basis, polyethyleneglycol derivative of the present invention is connected with polyethyleneglycol modified dose by described Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant and obtains, and described polyethyleneglycol modified dose molecular weight is between 5KDa-40KDa.
In a kind of embodiment preferred, described polyethyleneglycol modified dose is polyethyleneglycol modified dose of sulfydryl, is selected from a kind of in maleimide PEG modifier, ethene sulfuryl PEG modifier, iodo-acid amide PEG modifier or the adjacent pyridyl disulfide PEG modifier.
For obtaining the influence that PEG modification reaction that described polyethyleneglycol derivative carries out mainly is subjected to the factors such as kind, temperature, protein concn, pH, protein/modifier quality/mol ratio, stirring velocity, additive and modification reaction time of modifier.
Be used for the PEG modifier of specificity site sulfydryl modification according to different the mainly contain maleimide PEG modifier (mPEG-maleimides of PEG activating group with modification reaction mechanism, mPEG-MAL), ethene sulfuryl PEG modifier (mPEG-vinylsulfone, mPEG-VS), iodo-acid amide PEG modifier (mPEG-iodoacetamide, mPEG-IA) with adjacent pyridyl disulfide PEG modifier (mPEG-orthopyridyl disulfide, mPEG-OPSS), structure respectively following (mainly provide the structure of activating group as example arrangement, but activating group be not limited to a mPEG be connected).

Figure BDA0000137703800000084
The mechanism that the above two modify sulfydryl is and two key addition reactions take place sulfydryl, and both mechanism of modifying sulfydryl of back are and sulfydryl generation disulfide linkage replacement(metathesis)reaction.Wherein preferably use mPEG-MAL, because it has speed of response faster, even under acidic conditions, also can carry out modification reaction.The molecular weight of PEG modifier can be between 5KDa-40KDa, but because low-molecular-weight PEG modifier is not obvious to the effect that prolongs the interferon alpha transformation period, it is serious that its biological activity is descended, and the molecular weight of therefore preferred PEG modifier is between 10KDa-20KDa.
Improve the speed that temperature can improve modification reaction in the modification, but also can accelerate hydrolysis or the oxidation rate of modifier simultaneously, also be unfavorable for the stable of Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant, therefore suitable modification reaction temperature is 2-40 ℃, preferred modification reaction temperature is 2-25 ℃, and optimum modification reaction temperature is 2-10 ℃.
Improve the speed that protein concn can improve modification reaction in the modification, but be unfavorable for the stable of protein, therefore the concentration of suitable Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant is 2-20mg/ml, and preferred concentration is 1-10mg/ml, and optimum concentration is 2-5mg/ml.
In order to reach this protein concn, need concentrate the Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant, also can be transformed into pH and buffering solution required simultaneously.That concentration method commonly used includes but not limited to is anti-molten behind the organic solvent deposit, anti-molten after saltouing, ultrafiltration, polyoxyethylene glycol concentrate, chromatographic separation etc.
The pH that needs in the modification is relevant with the mechanism of modification reaction, pH when mPEG-MAL modifies as mentioned before can hang down, even can arrive acid range, and the pH of mPEG-VS when modifying must be medium-sized or alkaline, but the weakly alkaline environment of 7.0-9.0 relatively more suitable modification reaction all in general.Modification reaction speed was slower when the pH of modification was lower than this pH scope; Though and modification reaction speed is fast when being higher than this pH scope, Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant instability easily forms intermolecular disulfide bond and significantly reduces the total amount of modifiable Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant molecule.
Raising or reduction protein/modifier quality or mol ratio all can improve speed of response in the modification.From the angle that improves PEG modifier utilization ratio consider the to increase input amount of Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant of reaction, from the angle that improves Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant transformation efficiency consider then should the to increase input amount of PEG modifier of reaction, specifically how to handle and to look particular case and determine that (utilization ratio of paying the utmost attention to modifier is still paid the utmost attention to the utilization ratio of protein, the cost ratio that depends on both to a great extent), but Shi Yi ratio should be 1 generally speaking: 8-8: between 1, preferred ratio is 1: 4-4: between 1, optimum ratio is 1: 2-2: between 1.
Increase to stir the speed that can improve modification reaction in the modification, especially for the slower modification reaction of speed of response on modifying mechanism.But too fast stirring is unfavorable to stablizing of protein, simultaneously also can't further accelerate the speed of modification reaction, therefore suitable modification reaction stirring velocity is between 0-40 rev/min, and preferred speed is between 1-20 rev/min, and optimum speed is between 2-10 rev/min.
Add some material in the modification or in protein buffer solution, exist some material also can influence the speed of modification reaction, as add the tensio-active agent of some type or in protein buffer solution, have NaCl with high concentration, but specifically influence rule owing to adding and existing substance classes numerous, can select concentration range wide, so can not be discussed, need particular problem specifically to study without exception.
The time of modification reaction is all relevant with above-mentioned each influence factor, in general prolonging the modification reaction time all can improve the modification reaction yield, but the time can become not obvious above this rule after a certain threshold value, and also can be unfavorable to stablizing of Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant, can reduce the economic benefit of reaction process, therefore the suitable modification reaction time, the preferred time, the optimum time was between 1-12 hour between 0.5-24 hour between 0.5-48 hour.
Contain the Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant of the PEG modifier that has neither part nor lot in modification reaction, not adorned Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant, unit point modification and the Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant that a small amount of multidigit point is modified in principle in the modification reaction mixture of modification reaction termination back, must remove the Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant composition in addition that unit point PEG modifies by follow-up separation and purification process.
Utilize the Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant molecule of target unit point PEG modification and impurity molecule has notable difference at molecular weight characteristics, can adopt gel chromatography (gel filtration chromatography, GFC) or molecular-exclusion chromatography (size exclusion chromatography, SEC) they are separated, the filler that can adopt includes but not limited to Sephacryl S-100, Sephacryl S-200, Sephadex G-25, Sephadex G-50, Sephadex G-75, Superdex 75, TSKgel HW-50, TSKgel HW-55 etc.
Because what the sulfydryl modification agent was modified is the halfcystine site of protein, can make protein lose the electronegative group that dissociates after the modification, and other charged group that might masking protein matter, and connect the more big modifier of molecular weight or connect the back effect of modifier molecule of more number more obvious.Therefore can utilize the change of modifying front and back this charge property of protein molecule that Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant molecule and the impurity that target unit point PEG modifies is carried out ion-exchange chromatography (ion exchange chromatography, IEC) separate, the filler that can adopt includes but not limited to DEAE Sepharose FF, Q Sepharose FF, CM Sepharose FF, SP Sepharose FF, DEAE Sepharose CL-6B, Source 15, Source 30, TSKgel CM-650, TSKgel DEAE-650, TSKgel QAE-550, TSKgel SP-650, TSKgel CM-5PW, TSKgel DEAE-5PW etc.In this purge process, because PEG modifier neutral, so in last sample process, can not be adsorbed.
Because PEG is the molecule of a not only hydrophilic but also close ester, for the close ester performance that can improve protein molecule behind the modifying protein molecule, and molecular weight is more big, how this more raising of molecule number that connects be more obvious, therefore can utilize the change of modifying front and back this hydrophobic performance of protein molecule that Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant molecule and the impurity that target unit point PEG modifies is carried out hydrophobic interaction chromatography (hydrophobic interaction chromatography, HIC) separate, the filler that can adopt includes but not limited to Phenyl Sepharose 6FF, Butyl Sepharose 4FF, Source 15PHE, Source 15ETH, TSKgel Ether-5PW, TSKgel Phenyl-5PW etc.
Polyethyleneglycol modified dose of modified derivative of Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant sulfydryl that purifying obtains also needs to carry out evaluations such as purity, molecular weight, biologic activity, stability, medicine generation, security, the Interferon alfacon-1 cysteine mutant of the same described unmodified of method.
In a kind of embodiment that is more preferably, molecular weight of the present invention polyethyleneglycol modified dose is between 10KDa-20KDa.
