Definitions
- the invention relates to an aqueous formulation for a conjugate of mammalian superoxide dismutase with polyethy- lene glycol (PEG-SOD) comprising PEG-SOD and non-chelating buffer in the range from pH 5.0 to pH 6.5.
- PEG-SOD polyethy- lene glycol
- the invention further relates to a method of using the formulation for the prevention and treatment of oxidant injury in a mammal.
- Ha aguchi et al. European Application 225,130 discloses an aqueous solution of 0.067 M phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.2, 287 mOsm) containing 25 g of manganese SOD conjugated to polyethylene glycol of molecular weight 5,000 in 5 mL of distilled water.
- Hamaguchi states “In this manner a ... liposome composition having SOD-PEG (5000) entrapped in stable condition was obtained. " This is the only reference of which the inventors are aware that discloses the stability of any solution of a superoxide dismutase that is conjugated to a polyethylene glycol.
- the SOD is not a mammalian Cu/Zn-SOD, but rather is a Mn-SOD from a microorganism.
- the PEG is directly attached to the SOD by an amide bond, as contrasted with the PEG-SOD of the invention in which the PEG and the SOD are linked through succinyl amide/ester bonds.
- PEG-S-mSOD A conjugate of a mammalian SOD and polyethylene glycol or a lower-alkoxypolyethylene glycol connected by a succinyl residue having an ester linkage to the PEG and an amide linkage to an amino function in the SOD will hereinafter be referred to as PEG-S-mSOD.
- the term polyethylene glycol or PEG when used herein refers to the compound or mixture of compounds of formula R-0-(CH 2 CH 2 ⁇ ) n OH wherein R is hydrogen or alkyl of one to four carbons and n is an integer from 80 to 25,000.
- PEG-S-mSOD solutions which we obtained from Enzon (South Plainfield, NJ, USA) , were formulated by Enzon at pH 7.3 in phosphate buffer.
- Enzon slightly acidic
- aqueous formulations of PEG-S-mSOD arises from the particular utility of PEG-S-mSOD for the treatment and prevention of oxidative injury in a clinical setting.
- parenteral administration is preferred.
- a clinically useful parenteral formulation must have a reasonable shelf life under convenient storage conditions or the parenteral solution must be freshly prepared shortly before each use. Obviously, the former is much preferred.
- Our invention provides an aqueous solution, suitable for parenteral administration that, for the first time, allows storage under convenient conditions for economically practical lengths of time.
- the invention in a composition of matter aspect relates to an aqueous formulation of PEG-S-mSOD comprising PEG-S-mSOD and a non-chelating buffer in the range from pH 5.0 to 6.5, preferably from pH 5.8 to pH 6.2.
- Fig. 1 shows the stability of PEG-S-mSOD (1) as the percent of initial enzymic activity as a function of pH
- Fig. 2 shows the rate of production of free PEG and methoxy PEG in mg/mL (degradation) as a function of time in days for a solution of the invention at pH 6.2 and a solu ⁇ tion of the prior art at pH 7.3.
- Superoxide dismutase is the name given to a class of enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of the superoxide anion radical (0 2 ⁇ -) to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide.
- SOD is known under the systematic nomenclature of the International Union of Biochemistry as superoxide oxidore- ductase and has a classification number of 1.15.1.1. Such substances have been called orgoteins and hemocupreins as well as superoxide dismutases and range in molecular weight from about 400 to about 48,000.
- the copper-zinc dismutases are a remarkably conserved family with respect to gross structural properties. Without exception, the purified. enzymes have been shown to be di ers (molecular weight usually 31,000-33,000) containing two moles each of copper and zinc ions per mole.
- the enzymes of the manganese/iron family are not as uniform in such basic properties as molecular weight, subunit structure and ⁇ metal content.
- mSOD mammalian Zn/Cu superoxide dismutases
- mSOD may be of any origin. It is commercially obtained from bovine erythro- cytes and huma'n erythrocytes as well as by recombinant synthesis in microorganisms such as E. coli and yeast. Human and bovine SOD are preferred.
- mSOD is covalently linked to polymers to provide conjugates that retain enzymic activity. Such conjugates display greatly extended half-lives in the blood stream.
- Preferred conjugates comprise recombinant or native human SOD or bovine SOD covalently linked to polyethylene glycol (PEG) through a succinyl residue as described in US Patent 4,179,337, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the preferred polyethylene glycol has a formula of R-O-(CH 2 -CH 2 ⁇ ) n OH wherein R is hydrogen or methyl and n is about 112.
- the preferred PEG is of molecular weight from 1 x 10 3 to 2 x 10 5 , preferably 1 x 10 3 to 2 x 10 4 , and the conjugate is modified from about 25 to about 99 percent in terms of the available lysine residues, preferably about 45 to about 70 percent. It is preferred that the PEG-S-mSOD have a specific activity greater than about 1000 U/mg of mSOD as determined by the method of Fridovich and McCord [J. Biol. Chem. 244. 6049-6055 (1969)].
- the buffers that comprise the other critical component of the formulations of the invention include pharmaceuti ⁇ cally acceptable, non-chelating buffers that maintain the pH at 5.0 to 6.5.
- pharmaceutically acceptable is meant buffers that are relatively innocuous to the animal organism in medicinal doses of the buffers so that the beneficial properties inherent in the PEG-S-mSOD are not vitiated by side effects ascribable to the buffers.
- other appropriate medicinally acceptable buffers within the scope of the invention include those derived from other mineral acids and organic acids, preferably dicarboxylic organic acids. Phosphate and adipate buffers are
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET particularly preferred.
- non-chelating it is meant that the buffer does not contain a component, usually the anionic component, that chelates or sequesters either copper or zinc ions in aqueous solutions.
- the buffers may be present in any concentration that is high enough to maintain the pH at a set level but low enough so as not to introduce adverse pharmacological effects from the buffer itself.
- the minimum concentration of buffer necessary to maintain a set pH is a function of the amount and form of the PEG-S-mSOD in the solution and the relation of the pK a of the conjugate acid in the buffer to the desired pH of the solution. More buffer will be required at minimum to establish and maintain the desired pH when the pH is farther from the pK a of the buffer or when the concentration of PEG-S-mSOD is higher.
- Concentrations of PEG-S-mSOD may range from 100 U to 150,000 U/mL.
- the minimum buffer concentration is about 30 mM for phosphate buffer at pH 6.2.
- Other operable solutions of the invention may have buffer concentrations ranging from about 10 mM to about 500 mM, preferably 30 mM to 50 mM.
- a formula ⁇ tion of the invention may contain, in addition to PEG-S- mSOD and a buffer, isotonic agents, preferably 140 to 150 mM sodium chloride, and, optionally, preservatives.
- the mSOD used in the experiments was SOD from bovine liver, purchased from DDI Pharmaceuticals (Mountain View, CA) .
- PEG-S-mSOD was purchased from Enzon Inc. (South Plainfield, NJ) and was equivalent to 3000 ⁇ 600 u/mg.
- Example 1 Representative compositions of the invention have been prepared as follows: Example 1
- Isotonic Phosphate Buffer pH 6.2 A solution of 5.071 g of USP/NF, monobasic sodium phos ⁇ phate monohydrate, 3.552 g of USP/NF dibasic sodium phosphate heptahydrate and 8.500 g of USP/NF sodium chloride in 800 mL of USP/NF water for injection was prepared and brought to 1.000 L with water for injection. The pH was checked and if found to fall outside the range of 6.1 to 6.3, the solution was discarded.
- Isotonic Phosphate Buffer pH 6.0 A solution of 5.623 g of monobasic sodium phosphate monohydrate, 2.48 g of dibasic sodium phosphate heptahy ⁇ drate, and 8.500 g of sodium chloride in 800 mL of water for injection was prepared and brought to 1.000 L with water for injection. The pH was checked and if found to fall outside the range of 5.9 to 6.1, the solution was discarded.
- PEG-S-mSOD was dialyzed against the buffer of interest for 24 hours at 4°C.
- the protein concentration was approximately 3.3 mg/mL.
- the solutions were filtered through 4 mm sterile Millex-GV 0.22 ⁇ m filters and added directly to glass vials under sterile conditions.
- Kimble 2 mL or 5 mL USP' type I glass vials, West 4416/50 gray Teflon-coated butyl stoppers, and West FO Lacq crimp tops were used.
- the fill volume was usually 1-3 mL.
- the samples were stored in the dark at constant temperature. The stability of each sample was determined by monitoring its enzyme activity, the amount of free PEG, and its solution clarity. The pH of the solution was also checked to ensure sufficient buffer capacity.
- a TSK 2000 PWXL column and a TSK 3000 PWXL column were connected in a series.
- the mobile phase consisted of 0.1 M NaCl, 0.1 M NaPi buffer, pH 6.7.
- the chromatography separated free PEG from PEG-S- mSOD.
- the PEG-S-mSOD peak was detected by a UV detector set at 230 nm and the free PEG peak by a refractive index detector.
- the amount of free PEG in the sample was determined by integrating the area of the peak.
- a standard curve of peak area versus concentration of PEG was constructed by injecting solutions of PEG-5000 of known concentrations.
- SOD Activity Assay The enzyme activity of SOD was measured by the method described by McCord and Fridovich (op. cit.) .
- the initial range of trial pHs was developed based on data from preformulation studies including circular dichro- ism (CD) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) , atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy, and stability tests under various conditions.
- CD circular dichro- ism
- DSC differential scanning calorimetry
- AA atomic absorption
