Description

GLP-1/glucagon/gastrin receptor triple agonist with site-specific modification and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular to a GLP-1/glucagon/gastrin receptor triple agonist modified at a fixed point and application thereof.
Background
Obesity and its associated metabolic syndrome have become global public health problems, and the incidence and course of many metabolic syndromes such as type 2 diabetes (T2 DM), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), dyslipidemia are closely related to obesity. Studies have shown that clinically 80-90% of patients with T2DM are associated with overweight or obesity, and the use of weight loss therapy is beneficial in preventing and controlling disease conditions, including controlling blood glucose, reducing morbidity and disability (mortality). The ideal weight loss effect is generally difficult to achieve by only exercising and diet control to lose weight. The existing medicines for treating obesity have limited curative effect, and many medicines for treating obesity also have obvious side effects, such as mental symptoms caused by acting on central nerves, serious cardiovascular effects and the like. Among the drugs for treating T2DM, only glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT 2) inhibitors have a superior weight control effect (j.med.chem., 2018,61,5580-5593). Bariatric surgery has significant therapeutic effects on obesity, but patients suffer from a greater surgical risk and the long-term effects of surgery are still unclear. Therefore, there is still a great clinical need for a drug for weight control, and a drug that can safely and effectively control weight and has a therapeutic effect on primary diseases is an ideal choice.
The body's energy and blood glucose regulation signal system includes a number of different polypeptide endogenous gastrointestinal hormones, proglucagon (proglucagon), a precursor polypeptide of 160 amino acids that is cleaved in different tissues and converted into different products, such as GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), glucagon (Glucagon), and Oxyntomodulin (Oxyntomodulin, OXM). These endogenous gastrointestinal hormones are involved in the regulation of various physiological functions such as insulin secretion, food intake, gastric emptying and glucose homeostasis. Therefore, endogenous gastrointestinal hormone-based therapies have become a highly interesting research direction in the field of metabolic syndrome research.
OXM is an endogenous GLP-1 receptor and glucagon receptor dual agonist in humans, the agonistic activity of which at the GLP-1 receptor and the glucagon receptor is less potent than the natural ligand of each receptor (natural GLP-1 or glucagon). The acute physiological effects of OXM include inhibition of gastric emptying, ingestion, and exocrine secretion from the stomach and pancreas, elevation of resting energy expenditure, etc., which can produce weight loss effects. Experiments have shown that peripheral administration of OXM in animals and humans can reduce body weight and food consumption, and in obese subjects can increase metabolic rate and activity-related energy expenditure. In addition, large dose administration of OXM is not easy to cause nausea, vomiting and other common gastrointestinal side effects while reducing body weight in clinic. The above experiments demonstrate that therapies based on dual agonists of the OXM or GLP-1/glucagon receptor show potential utility in the treatment of metabolic syndrome.
The currently reported polypeptide GLP-1/glucagon receptor dual agonists can be classified into four categories based on glucagon, OXM, GLP-1 or Exendin-4 (exendin-4) according to sequence structures, and the published patent documents are as follows: CN201911103118.6, CN201780013643.1, CN201680021972.6, cn80030150. X, CN201380048137.8, WO2008/071972, WO 2008/101017, WO 2009/155258, WO 2010/096052, WO 2010/096142, WO2011/075393, WO 2008/152403, WO 2010/070251, WO 2010/070252, WO 2010/070253, WO2010/070255, WO 2011/160630, WO 2011/006497, WO 2011/087671, WO 2011/087672, WO2011/117415, WO 041/117416, WO 2012/177443, WO 20112012/1744, WO 20112012/150503, WO2013/004983, WO 201742703, WO 2014/041195, and WO 2014/375.
The GLP-1 effect in the body of the amphibian is similar to that of human GLP-1, so that the structure of the amphibian GLP-1 is modified, and a novel GLP-1 medicine with more efficient and long-acting hypoglycemic effect is expected to be found. The XenGLP-1 is GLP-1 analogues of animal sources found in Xenopus laevis bodies, and compared with natural GLP-1, the XenGLP-1 has better hypoglycemic activity and stability. Furthermore, in addition to being more resistant to degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-IV), xenGLP-1 also appears to be much more stable to degradation by Neutral Endopeptidase (NEP) than GLP-1, OXM and glucagon. XenGLP-1 is a highly potent agonist of the GLP-1 receptor, however it does not activate the glucagon receptor. XenGLP-1 has many of the glucose-regulating effects observed with native GLP-1, and many preclinical studies have shown that XenGLP-1 has several beneficial antidiabetic properties, including enhanced glucose-dependent insulin synthesis and secretion, slowed gastric emptying, reduced food intake and weight, and promotion of beta cell proliferation and restoration of pancreatic function, among others (biochem. Pharmacol.,2017, 142,155-167 fasebj., 2019,33,7113-7125. These effects are beneficial not only for diabetics, but also for patients suffering from obesity. Patients with obesity have an increased risk of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, NAFLD, NASH, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular diseases.
Gastrin (gastrin) is secreted by gastric mucosal cells and duodenal G cells, and its main physiological effects in the human body are to stimulate gastric acid secretion and to assist gastric motility. Other effects of Gastrin include stimulation of cell growth, suggesting that Gastrin may play a role in islet neogenesis, i.e., stimulation of insulin-secreting beta cells in the islets (see Korc, m., j. Clin. Invest.,1993,92,1113-1114, rooman et al Diabetes,2002,51,686-690), thus contributing to the regulation of blood glucose. Gastrin and another gastrointestinal hormone Cholecystokinin (CCK) share receptors, which are divided into two classes, the CCK-1 receptor and the CCK-2 receptor (gastrostrin receptor), which have different affinities for gastrostrin and CCK analogs. The CCK-1 receptor acts primarily as a receptor for sulfated CCK, while the CCK-2 receptor has similar affinity for CCK and gastrin. Among them, the CCK-2 receptor is also known as a gastrin receptor because the level of gastrin in plasma is higher than that of CCK (Foucaud et al. Reg. Peptides,2008,145,17-23).
The CCK-2 receptor, when bound to a ligand, initiates a variety of intracellular pathways, one of the key pathways downstream of the CCK-2 receptor being the MAPK (mitogen activated protein kinase) or ERK (extracellular regulated kinase) pathways, which are also activated by several growth hormones, a key feature of gastrin in cell proliferation. Since the CCK-2 receptor is expressed in the pancreas, gastrin can promote cell proliferation and islet regeneration in pancreatic tissue. Gastrin exists in the human body in three forms, which are classified into, by the number of amino acids, gastrin-34, gastrin-17 and Gastrin-14, and, in addition, a short peptide form, gastrin-6, exists. The 6 amino acids of Gastrin-6 are key amino acids for binding of Gastrin to CCK-2 receptor, and the C-terminus is amidated.
WO2005/072045 discloses a combination of a "GLP-1 receptor agonist" and a "gastrin compound" having a beneficial effect in the prevention and/or treatment of conditions and/or diseases for which a "GLP-1 receptor agonist" or a "gastrin compound" has been demonstrated to have a therapeutic effect. WO2007/095737 discloses similar combinations of "Exendin-4" and "gastrin compounds" having beneficial effects as well in the prevention and/or treatment of conditions and/or diseases for which "Exendin-4 agonists" or "gastrin compounds" have been demonstrated to have therapeutic effects. It should be noted that neither WO2005/072045 nor WO2007/095737 provide any in vivo, in vitro or other data to confirm that a "GLP-1 receptor agonist"/"gastrin compound" or "Exendin-4"/"gastrin compound" combination, respectively, described and used therein may be beneficial, for example, in the type of treatment of T2DM. US10406207B2 discloses a truncated form of exendin-4 and a conjugated peptide of gastrin-6 (ZP 3022), k. Fosgerau et al disclose that ZP3022 exhibits improved therapeutic activity in diabetic model mice, which conjugated peptide has a short half-life due to the absence of long-lasting modifications and must be injected frequently (Diabetes Obes metab.,2013,15,62-71). In addition, the weight loss effect of ZP3022 is weak, and for patients with diabetes complicated with obesity, the medicament capable of remarkably reducing blood sugar and weight can achieve better treatment effect. Xinyu Chen et al disclose a class of conjugated peptides of xenoglp-1 and gastrin-6, however, the modification means required for such conjugated peptides involve various amino acid substitutions, resulting in significant problems with immunogenicity of the compounds (j.med. Chem.2020,63, 12595-12613). And the compound has similar weight loss problem with ZP 3022.
