Polyethyleneglycol modified NPFF and application thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to medical usage technical fields, and in particular to a kind of polyethyleneglycol modified NPFF.
Background technique
Neuropeptide FF (Neuropeptide FF, NPFF) is a kind of endogenous neural octapeptide in the mammalian body
(FLFQPQRFamide), endogenous receptor NPFFR2 (NPFF receptor2, NPFFR2) belongs to g protein coupled receptor (G
Protein-Coupled Receptor, GPCR) family.NPFF belongs to RFamide peptide family, and (common trait of the peptide family is
Its C latter end all has RFamide).NPFF has multiple biological function, including participates in pain sensation conduction, blood pressure, ingests, interior point
It secretes, body temperature etc..Since NPFF is distributed widely in various biological process in internal and wide participation body, NPFF's grinds
Study carefully and is of great significance.
It the advantages that strong, high specificity active as the protein drug of representative using polypeptide, is widely used at present, still
Since protein drug ginseng is the problems such as water-soluble, stability is poor, and plasma half-life is short, it is limited to a certain extent and is answered
With.Polyethylene glycol (PEG) refers to ethylene oxide polymer, has stronger hydrogen bonding capability, PEG and drug covalent coupling
Afterwards, immunogenicity can be reduced, drug half-life is improved, improves biological stability and internal physicochemical property
(Biomacromolecules.2014;15(5):1543-59).There are many pharmaceutical grade proteins of PEG modification to be examined by FDA
Batch, it is used for clinical treatment.PEG modification is one of improved most effective strategy of current polypeptide drugs.Currently, resisting although NPFF has
Scorching activity (Peptides.2013;47 (1): 124-32.), due to it because the problems such as being easy degradation, half-life short, limits
Its development and application as drug.Currently, there is not yet using polyethyleneglycol modified NPFF report.
Summary of the invention
The present invention provides a kind of polyethyleneglycol modified NPFF, using polyethyleneglycol modified NPFF (NPFF-PEG), mouse
The anti-inflammatory activity of the swollen inflammatory model of foot and LPS stimulation survivorship curve model inspection NPFF-PEG.It is demonstrated experimentally that NPFF-PEG has
Good anti-inflammatory activity.On mouse enough swollen inflammatory model, NPFF-PEG inhibits inflammation in 15mg/kg and 30mg/kg respectively
41.25% and 50.74% (12 hours).On LPS stimulation survivorship curve model, NPFF-PEG 1mg/kg significantly extends LPS thorn
Swash the life span (at 14 days, improving 75% survival rate) of group (LPS 25mg/kg).The present invention provides a kind of NPFF-PEG conduct
The application of anti-inflammatory drug provides beneficial to help to treat corresponding inflammation, has potential application value in field of medicaments.
