Description

The preparation and the coupled product thereof of recombinant human Interferon alfacon-1-polyethylene glycol conjugation thing
Technical field
The invention belongs to the protein chemistry field, particularly proteinic polyoxyethylene glycol chemistry modifying method and modified outcome.
Background technology
The fast development of modern biotechnology makes people become a reality polypeptide and the protein dream as drug use [1]Since nineteen eighty-two FDA ratifies the bio-pharmaceutical that first is used for the treatment of human diabetes---there has been the biological medicine of hundreds of kind to be applied in the clinical treatment since the recombinant human insulin (rhInsulin), comprised somatomedin, G CFS, hormone, Interferon, rabbit, interleukin-, monoclonal antibody or the like.According to estimates, in 2000, have about 500 bio-pharmaceutical goods carrying out clinical trial, and the annual growth of protein articles (glycoprotein, non-glycoprotein, and antibody) approximately will be at 10-35% [2]Although compare than before, there is more biologics to develop, the typical problem that all has polypeptide drug when but all these protein drugs are used for human body: tangible immunogenicity and antigenicity, degraded by the body endoproteinase easily, can be removed by kidney, intravital circulation half life weak point, poor stability and solubleness are low etc.Therefore the formulating of recipe (formulation) of the biological medicine of polypeptide class and administering mode (Administration) become the key of the biological medicine development of restriction.Clinical Experience for many years finds that there is following shortcoming in the most existing bio-pharmaceutical [3]:
1. route of administration is single, and most of biological medicine carries out administration by intravenous injection or hypodermic mode, and oral biological medicine is considerably less.
Circulation half life in vivo too short, this mainly is because by the degraded of body endoproteinase, and reticuloendothelial system is removed and reasons such as kidney removing cause.
3. some medicine has tangible antigen-antibody reaction in vivo.
4. owing to above reason causes its pharmacokinetics in vivo relatively poor, thereby influenced the performance of drug effect.
For pharmacokinetics and the pharmacodynamic properties people that improve biological agents such as protein have adopted several strategies to solve these problems:
1) changes the amino acid whose order of native protein to reduce its immunogenicity and antigenicity and to increase the ability that its protease inhibitor is degraded by genetic engineering means.
2) by chemistry or genetic engineering means with itself and immunoglobulin (Ig) or serum albumin coupling or fusion.
3) realize the protection and the slowly-releasing of pharmaceutical protein by drug release carrier.
4) by chemical means with pharmaceutical protein and natural or synthetic polymer coupling mutually.Increase proteinic apparent molecular weight with polymer, cover protein surface and reduce its immunogenicity and antigenicity to reach, and the ability that increases its protease inhibitor degraded.
But successful method is an employing method 4 the most up to now), by what polyoxyethylene glycol and pharmaceutical protein covalent coupling were realized, i.e. PEGYLATION OF PROTEINS technology (PEGylation Technology) [4-5]
(IFN is antiviral, antiproliferative and the immunomodulatory that a class has wide spectrum Interferon) to Interferon, rabbit, can activate the general name of the cytokine of natural killer cell multiple functions such as (NK cell).It is that the similar, the function that are produced by multiple inductor inducing cell are close, the low molecular saccharides albumen of biologically active, is a class important cytokine.Interferon, rabbit generally is divided into I type and II type, and the I type comprises IFN-α, IFN-β and IFN-ω, and wherein IFN-α can be divided into the hypotype that primary structure there are differences more than 25 kinds again; The II type comprises IFN-γ.These Interferon, rabbit are produced by different genes encodings respectively, and biological activity is different.The Interferon, rabbit that uses clinically mostly is to obtain by gene recombination technology production at present.The advantage that the DNA recombinant technology is produced Interferon, rabbit be this method can high purity, produce Interferon, rabbit in large quantity.
1981, the researchist that (Amgen) company is pacified into by the U.S. synthesized a kind of non-natural I type Interferon, rabbit (Consensus interferon, IFN-α-conl, Interferon alfacon-1) first.Close on this Interferon alfacon-1 structure with common Interferon, rabbit, have 166 amino-acid residues, wherein about 30% locational amino acid is identical with IFN-β, and the amino acid more than 60% is identical with IFN-γ, has only 20 the locational amino acid and the IFN-α of normal use clinically 2aThe amino acid difference of corresponding position.But the biological activity of Interferon alfacon-1 but is 2-20 times of common Interferon, rabbit.Thereby become the focus of research.United States Patent (USP) 4695623,4897471,5372808 discloses the interferon activity that Interferon alfacon-1 has wide spectrum, has stronger antivirally and antitumor and activate the NK cell activity, can be used for the treatment of disease.Chinese patent 97193506 discloses the method for using composite interference extract for treating hepatitis C, and Chinese patent 98114663 discloses the preparation method of recombinant consensus interferon and the purposes of treatment hepatitis B and hepatitis C.These existing researchs show that all composite interference extract for treating chronic hepatitis C effect is remarkable, particularly aspect reducing the serum-virus load and treating the patient of the invalid or recurrence of other interferon therapy, are better than the Interferon, rabbit of other type.
But Interferon alfacon-1 is identical with other pharmaceutical grade protein, has poor stability, the transformation period is short in the body, shortcomings such as pharmacokinetics difference, therefore modify Interferon alfacon-1 with PEG, improve its thermostability, and by improving its apparent molecular weight and resistance to enzymolysis ability in vivo, improve its transformation period in vivo, the long-acting that reaches Interferon alfacon-1 has great importance.
Protein PEGization principle
Phase late 1950s is with the structure of the method research protein molecule of chemically modified and the focus that function relationship becomes biological chemistry and biology field.Since late 1970s, about the research report that carries out the protein chemistry modification with synthetic macromolecule polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG) and derivative thereof gets more and more.Protein PEG chemically modified is mainly used in biomedicine and biological technical field.At biomedical aspect, the PEG chemically modified can reduce immunogenic immunoreactivity, suppress the generation of immunoglobulin (Ig), prolong drug albumen circulation half life in vivo etc.; At biological technical field, enzyme can be brought into play katalysis efficiently through after the chemically modified in organic solvent, and shows novel catalytic performance.Proteinic immunogenicity is by the antigenic determinant decision on protein molecule surface.PEG is a kind of linearity, hydrophilic, softness and uncharged molecules, when it and proteinic nonessential group covalent attachment, can be used as a kind of barrier, cover the antigenic determinant of protein surface, this albumen can not be identified as xenobiotic, avoid the generation of corresponding antibodies, thereby perhaps stop antibody to suppress corresponding immune response with antigenic the combination.Can eliminate proteinic immunogenicity because PEG modifies, thereby can not be eliminated by immune response; Also because PEG in the bridging effect of protein surface, makes protein be difficult for by proteasome degradation; Also, be difficult for by glomerular filtration because after protein modified, its molecular weight increased greatly.The result of above-mentioned Several Factors effect obviously prolongs the protein circulation half life in vivo after modifying.
The chemical property of PEG
PEG is the hydroxyl simple linear polymers in a kind of two ends, and structural formula is as follows:
PEG is the ethylene oxide,1,2-epoxyethane anionic ring-opening polymerization reaction synthetic by being caused by hydroxide ion nucleophillic attack epoxide.The most frequently used PEG is mono methoxy PEG (mPEG) in the PEGization technology, and structural formula is as follows:
MPEG is the ethylene oxide,1,2-epoxyethane anionic ring-opening polymerization reaction synthetic by being caused by the methoxy ion.Some characteristics of PEG can simply be summarized as follows:
1) amphiphilic---not only water-soluble but also be dissolved in most of organic solvent, be insoluble to ether and aliphatic hydrocarbon;
2) nontoxicity (MW>1000), the FDA approval can be taken orally;
3) extremely weak immunogenicity;
4) can impel cytogamy during high density;
5) with other polymers, for example dextran forms double-aqueous phase system;
6) can be as the precipitation agent of protein and nucleic acid.
Compare with other high molecular polymer, (Mw/Mn) is narrow for the polymolecularity of PEG: for lower molecular weight PEG (<5kd) Mw/Mn is less than 1.01; For high molecular weight PEGs (>50kd) Mw/Mn is less than 1.1.Because PEG good solubility in water and most of organic solvent is generally considered to be amphiphilic.Each ethyl oxygen unit can be in conjunction with 2~3 water moleculess in the aqueous solution to studies show that PEG.Because the PEG chain has the snappiness of height and the ability of bound water molecule, therefore, PEG compares with the globular protein of same molecular amount in solution, and its hydraulic radius is 5~10 times of the latter.This characteristic is considered to the PEG precipitating proteins; Exclusion protein and cell; Reduce proteinic immunogenicity and antigenicity; Increase the major cause of protein resistance to enzymolysis ability.
The molecular weight ranges of PEG is very wide, is suitable as the set out relative molecular mass of PEG of raw material of modifier or modifier and is generally 300-100,000.PEG does not have immunogenicity and toxicity usually, can not destroy the activity of biomolecules, and its biocompatibility has passed through the authentication of food and drug administration (FDA).Particularly after protein was modified through PEG class modifier, many advantageous properties of modifier also can obtain embodying in modified protein.The PEG molecular end has two activable-OH groups, and then adopt the derivative of mono methoxy polyethylene glycols (mPEG) during chemically modified is modifier more.Except linear mPEG, also have mPEG of branch (promptly two or more PEG chains being linked together) and star mPEG by Methionin, triazine etc.In most cases PEG derivative and proteinic covalent attachment be with the amino on the protein molecule and sulfydryl as decorating site, this mainly is because amino and sulfydryl has nucleophilicity, and is present in the surface of protein molecule mostly.
In the PEGYLATION OF PROTEINS process, the hydroxyl of PEG end is the functional group of its chemical reaction.But its reactive behavior is poor, can only be under fierce condition and other group generation chemical reaction, and such condition usually is impatient at by protein.Therefore, PEG must be transformed into various activated intermediates, so that can be with higher speed of reaction and protein coupling mutually under the condition of gentleness, this be the activation of PEG, promptly connects the functional group that can react on the end of PEG or two ends.The selection of functional group decides according to available reactive group on the connected molecule of desire.For protein, typical reactive amino acid comprises Methionin, halfcystine, Histidine, arginine, aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, Serine, Threonine, tyrosine, N-terminal amino group and C-terminal carboxyl(group).If glycoprotein, the adjacent hydroxyl can be formed two formaldehyde compositions that can react by periodate oxidation.The most general path of PEG and proteinic coupling is to react with the amino that functional group's activated PEG makes it to be fit to Methionin and N-end.About the PEG activation method, Samuel Zalipsky 6,7And J.M.Harris 8Made more detailed summary.
The influence factor of modification reaction
Protein and the desired reaction conditions of modifier effect, except that modification can be carried out smoothly, also must satisfy following requirement: the one, do not cause proteinic irreversible denaturation, the 2nd, help optionally modifying protein.For this reason, reactant ratio, pH, temperature of reaction and reaction medium etc. all will be controlled at certain scope.In the condition of chemical modification reaction of influential protein molecule, the pH value is a most important condition, because it has determined to have the residing ionic condition of reacting and can not react of functional group of potential reaction ability.Generally speaking, increase pH and can improve speed of reaction, reduce pH and can reduce speed of reaction.The higher modifier of reactive behavior can be coupled with protein under physiological pH; And the lower modifier of reactive behavior needs higher pH usually.The specificity of modification reaction is then optimized the pH value corresponding to one.Can promptly provide experiment condition by changing modifier and proteinic mol ratio and change pH corresponding to specific modification degree.Temperature also is the condition that must note, because temperature can have influence on the microenvironment of sulfhydryl-group activity.The appropriate radical reaction of selecting temperature can reduce or prevent some competitions.Some protein belongs to thermo-sensitivity protein, and modification reaction need carry out at low temperatures.In this case, the reaction times is wanted proper extension.Reaction medium can change proteinic conformation or capping position, thereby influences modification reaction.Experimental result by based on the orthogonal experiment design can easily obtain the modification reaction condition that suits.By control, just can obtain required be connected with single, two, the protein couplings of three or more modifier to one or more operation factors.
Disclosed polyethyleneglycol modified protein forms the method for albumen-polyethylene glycol conjugation thing and there are some problems in the conjugate that is produced by described method.Comprising, form the chemical modification method that conjugate adopted and may make protein denaturation or complete deactivation; In addition, because the characteristic of linked reaction itself tends to make the pH value of reaction system to reduce, be unfavorable for the quality control of coupled product.The reduction of using previous disclosed method to control this pH value may cause wider fluctuation of pH and the bioactive loss of protein; In addition, the previous disclosed protein-separation of polyethylene glycol conjugation thing, purification process always can not reach good effect, particularly under the situation of mass preparation; At last, hydrolytic rupture may take place in the chemical bond instability between polyoxyethylene glycol and the protein.If such cracking takes place after the administration, polyoxyethylene glycol will not reach expected effect to proteinic modification
The present invention by select for use chemical property good polyethyleneglycol modified dose and fully controlled modification reaction condition prepare high-quality protein-polyethylene glycol conjugation thing, and come the heterogeneity of classification, purifying polyoxyethylene glycol-protein conjugate by chromatography separating method.

Prepare recombinant human Interferon alfacon-1 of the present invention-selected polymkeric substance of polyethylene glycol conjugation thing
With peptide molecule link coupled polymer molecule can be any suitable polymer molecule, for example homopolymer or heteropolymer, usually and the molecular weight of polypeptide link coupled polymkeric substance 300 to 100,000Da, 500-20 for example, 000Da, preferred 1000-15,000Da, more preferably 2000-12,000Da.
The example of suitable polymer molecule comprises various polyalkylene oxides (PAO), polyalkylene glycol (PAG) for example, polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG) and glycol polypropylene (PPG), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) etc.Usually the polymkeric substance of selecting for use is the water-soluble polymer of biocompatible, nontoxic, no antigen, non-immunogenicity.
Polyoxyethylene glycol (PEG) is preferred polymer molecule, and mono methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) is preferred polymer molecule.Because the hydroxyl of mPEG one end is replaced by methoxyl group, thus can avoid and cause crosslinked between the peptide molecule during polypeptide linked reaction.Selected polyoxyethylene glycol can be a polyoxyethylene glycol linear or that have branch or the capable structure of star.
In order to realize the covalently bound of polymer molecule and peptide molecule, the terminal hydroxyl of the peg molecule that provides must change the reactive group of certain form earlier into, is beneficial to the linked reaction of polymer molecule and peptide molecule.Suitable activated polyethylene glycol molecule can be the arylation polyethylene glycol reagents, mPEG-dichlorotriazine (mPEG-dichlorotriazine) and 2 for example, 4-two (mono methoxy polyethylene glycol)-6-chloro-sym-triazine (2,4-bis-(methoxypolyethylene glycol)-6-chloro-s-triazine); Acylations polyethylene glycol reagents, for example SucCINFnimidyl SucCINFnate-mPEG, SucCINFnimidylCarboxymethylate-mPEG, SucCINFnimidyl Amino aCINFd-mPEG, p-Nitro phenylCarbonate-mPEG; Alkylation polyethylene glycol reagents, for example Tresylate-mPEG, mPEG-acetaldehyde, FMP-mPEG.Suitable activated polyethylene glycol molecule can also be polyoxyethylene glycol branch shape or star, for example mPEG2-NHS, mPEG2-ALD, mPEG2-MAL, multi-armsmPEG.In order to obtain the coupled product that specificity is modified, preferred mPEG-acetaldehyde, mPEG-MAL etc.In order to obtain maximum molecular weight with minimum decorating site, preferred mPEG2-NHS, mPEG2-ALD, mPEG2-MAL, multi-arms mPEG etc.
The method for preparing recombinant human Interferon alfacon-1 of the present invention-polyethylene glycol conjugation thing
The coupling of polypeptide and activated polyglycol molecule can be by any suitable method, and for example liquid phase is freely modified and solid phase is assisted modification etc.To those skilled in the art, it is very easy adopting suitable modification reaction according to the activated polyethylene glycol reagent of selecting for use.But the coupling of polyoxyethylene glycol and polypeptide can occur on any reactive group, but also can specificity occurs on certain or some reactive groups.
In order to prepare best conjugate, at the quantity of link coupled PEG molecule, the molecular weight of each molecule and shape (for example, these molecules are linearity or branch), factors such as the coupling position of PEG and polypeptide can be modified PEG and be designed.Selection to the molecular weight of the polyoxyethylene glycol that uses will be considered the effect that expectation reaches.If for example the link coupled main purpose is the conjugate (for example reducing the kidney clearance rate) that obtains high molecular and larger molecular weight, can select so and one or two high-molecular weight peg molecule coupling.But if exist a plurality of immune sites to cover on the peptide molecule, the low molecular poly molecule that can use sufficient amount is to cover the immune site on all or most of polypeptide surface effectively.
Usually, but the coupling of polyoxyethylene glycol and peptide molecule be make reactive group as much as possible and peg molecule the reaction condition under carry out.This can reach by the mode of the suitable mole number that surpasses polypeptide of the mole number that makes polyoxyethylene glycol.Usually, the mol ratio of activated polyethylene glycol and polypeptide can be 1000: 1~1: 1, for example, about 100: 1, preferably approximately 50: 1~1: 1, more preferably about 10: 1~2: 1.
The present invention optimizes the linked reaction of polyoxyethylene glycol and polypeptide.Be appreciated that most modification reaction is to be undertaken by the nucleophillic attack that carries out at the nucleophilic group on the peptide molecule.Therefore, most modification reaction is to carry out under alkaline a little environment, for example pH7.0~10.0.And in the process of reaction, constantly produce acidic substance, make the pH value of reaction system reduce.And the fluctuation of pH value of reaction system is unfavorable for keeping the repeatability of modification reaction, thereby is unfavorable for the quality control of conjugate.Different with previously disclosed method, for example suppress the reduction of pH value of solution value by the method that in the modification system, adds alkaline matter, the present invention passes through alkaline matter, borax for example, be compressed into fine and close chip solid by a certain percentage with polyoxyethylene glycol, and in reaction buffer, slowly discharge activated polyethylene glycol reagent gradually in the dissolved process and alkaline matter realizes that the linked reaction of activated polyethylene glycol reagent and polypeptide suppresses the reduction of pH value of buffer solution simultaneously by it.Use method of the present invention can keep the repeatability of modification reaction, thereby help the quality control of conjugate.
When linked reaction proceeds to the degree of expection, can be by in reaction system, adding excessive primary amine, Methionin for example, method stop linked reaction, also can be by the method for conditioned reaction system pH, for example the pH value of solution value is adjusted to below 4.0 with acid, stops linked reaction.
The recombinant human Interferon alfacon-1 of the present invention-separation of polyethylene glycol conjugation thing, purification process
The linked reaction of polyoxyethylene glycol and polypeptide is except the coupled product that can produce expectation, also can produce some undesirable by products, for example the polyoxyethylene glycol of the free small molecules that breaks away from from activated polyethylene glycol reagent, hydrolytic inactivation, without modified polypeptides molecule etc.Before using polypeptide-polyethylene glycol conjugation thing, these materials must be removed.In addition, linked reaction produces various multi-form conjugates usually, conjugate of two peg molecules of coupling etc. on the conjugate of a peg molecule of coupling on peptide molecule, the peptide molecule for example, before using these conjugates, preferably they are separated into single composition.Another aspect of the present invention is about the chromatographic separation of polypeptide-polyethylene glycol conjugation thing, purification process.With previously disclosedly separate, purification process is different, for example, removes the polyoxyethylene glycol of small molecules free group and hydrolytic inactivation by the method for dialysis or ultrafiltration.By gel filtration chromatography or ultrafiltration conjugate and unreacted polypeptide are separated.But there are some problems in these methods, for example often small molecules and unnecessary peg molecule can not be removed fully by the method for dialysis or ultrafiltration, and the treatment capacity of gel filtration chromatography are limited, and this may limit preparative scale amplification.The present invention removes byproduct of reaction and separates different coupled products by ion-exchange chromatography, for example, utilize the desalination chromatographic column soon the small molecules group that dissociates to be removed fully, the buffer system with product is replaced into the required damping fluid of next step chromatographic separation simultaneously; Utilize the cation-exchange chromatography post to separate with coupled product with without the modified polypeptides molecule easily; Utilize anion-exchange column can be easily unnecessary peg molecule to be removed, and classification, the multi-form conjugate of purifying.This method has fast, efficient, protein-active is not had the advantage of injury, and can be easy to carry out more massive separation preparation.
Recombinant human Interferon alfacon-1 of the present invention-polyethylene glycol conjugation thing can be analyzed, identify with methods such as SDS-PAGE or MALDI-TOF.The biologic activity of conjugate is measured by the method for Chinese biological goods rules, promptly passes through the antiviral activity of Wish cell (people's amnion passage cell)-VSV virus (folliculus stomatitis virus) various conjugates of systems measurement.
The purposes of recombinant human interferon alpha 2 of the present invention-polyethylene glycol conjugation thing
