Definitions

  • the present invention relates to water-soluble, substantially nonimmunogenic polyamide cross-linking agents.
  • the present invention also relates to covalent binding of water-soluble polyamides to proteins, polynucleotides and other biological substrates to form substantially nonimmunogenic water- soluble products.
  • the present invention also relates to proteins, polynucleotides and other biological substrates which are cross-linked, conjugated, polymerized or decorated with water-soluble polyamides to form substantially nonimmunogenic products.
  • Cross-linking reagents are used for a variety of purposes, including the investigation of the spatial arrangement and functions of various macromolecular entities, the identification of binding sites (receptors) for ligands, the preparation of affinity matrices, and the modification and stabilization of diverse macromolecular structures (Methods in Enzymology, Volume 91, pages 580 to 609 (1983)) .
  • Cross-linkers have been designed to preserve electrostatic charge; to alter electrostatic charge; to decrease immunogenicity; to increase and decrease susceptibility to proteolysis; to introduce fluorescent labels, spin labels, radiolabels, and electron-dense substituents; to attach several different types of carbohydrate moieties; to modify enzyme specificity; and to introduce intramolecular and/or intermolecular cross-links, both to couple already associated species and to join various proteins in order to combine the properties of both into a single molecule (G. E. Means and R. E. Feeney, Bioconjugate Chemistry, Volume 1, page 2 to 12 (1990)) .
  • a large number of cross-linking reagents have been developed to serve these and a variety of other purposes. Many of these reagents are commercially available.
  • Cross-linking of proteins and their immobilization has been employed to increase the stability of proteins or of certain conformational relationships in proteins; to couple two or more different proteins; to identify or characterize the nature and extent of certain protein- protein interactions or to determine distances between reactive groups in or between protein subunits.
  • Proteins may be immobilized to facilitate their use and their separation from other products.
  • Cross- linking therapeutic proteins or polypeptides has been shown to decrease immunogenicity and to increase the lifetime of the cross-linked product in the blood stream.
  • cross-linking agents consist of an organic bridge between activated termini. The termini bind to biological macromolecules to form a link.
  • organic bridges are recognized in the art, including peptides, carbohydrates (e.g., dextran, starch, and hydroxyethylstarch) , fatty acids, polyglycolides, polypeptides (e.g., gelatin or collagen), polyalkylene units, and polymers such as poly(vinylalcohol) , polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polyethylene glycol (also known as polyoxyethylene) .
  • homobifunctional and heterbifunctional cross-linking agents range in size from about 6 to 16 A. Their solubility in water decreases with chain length. Yet the efficiency of cross-linking is increased with chain length as steric hindrance is reduced.
  • Peptides composed of three to nine amino acid residues are commonly used as cross-linking agents.
  • these suffer from the following disadvantages: the chemistries used in peptide synthesis are complex, involving selective blocking and deblocking of functional groups and specific coupling conditions. Care must be taken not to racemize the amino acid components. Peptides must be chosen carefully so that they have no biological activity. Finally, they are subject to enzymatic hydrolysis, which limits their period of utility, particularly during circulation in vivo.
  • a synthetic polymer cross- linker desirably has the following characteristics: (1) The polymer must be water-soluble and exhibit a narrow, definite molecular weight distribution. (2) It should provide attachment/release sites or the possibility of the incorporation of such sites. (3) The polymer should be compatible with the biological environmental, i.e., non-toxic, non-antigenic, and not provocative in any other respect. (4) It should be biodegradable or eliminated from the organism after having fulfilled its function (Duncan and Kopecek, Advances in Polymer Science, Volume 97, pages 53 to 101 (1984)) .

  • a white product ( Figure 9, 2a), having a MW of 2700, was isolated by crystallization from methanol-acetone. The product was not stable and turned yellow during storage.
  • the mixture was treated with sodium hydroxide to convert the methyl ester to bis (2- carboxyethylcarbonyl)polyamide, (3a) and then stirred with cation exchange resin (AG50W-X8) to absorb polyamide amine by-product. After removal of the resin by filtration, the filtrate, which contained a single product as indicated by TLC, was concentrated. Pure product bis (2-carboxyethylcarbonyl)polyamide (3a) was obtained by crystallization from methanol/acetone. Third, conversion of the pure product to the activated diester (4a) (designated PAS-3070) was accomplished by treatment with N-hydroxysuccinimide in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in DMF.

  • the polyamide bis (succinimide ester) was soluble in water but the coupling groups were slowly hydrolyzed. Therefore when dissolved in water the activated polymerization agent was used without delay.
  • the synthesis described above has several drawbacks.
  • the isolated white product, (2a) is not stable; it is oxidized during storage to an unknown yellow product which could not be removed readily by crystallization.
  • recrystallization of bis (2-carboxyethylcarbonyl) polyamide (3a) in methanol/acetone converts some of the di-acid to the corresponding methyl ester ( ⁇ ) .
  • our preferred synthetic strategy is as follows.
  • steps 1 and 2 were carried out as an integrated process in which product 3 in Figure 9, obtained from Norit A treatment, is not isolated but is allowed to react immediately with succinic anhydride to mask the amino groups which tend to be oxidized to colored product.
  • Such a "one-pot" synthesis increased the yield of 3 in Figure 9, because all crude 2 is used for the second step instead of the 50-60% of isolated product 2 that was converted in the method described above.
  • the use of methanol as crystallization solvent for 3 was excluded to avoid the formation of methyl ester of 3.
  • PAS-4200 ( Figure 9, 4b) was prepared using the integrated approach above.
  • crude product 6b obtained by this procedure, was mixed with cation-exchange resin (AG50W-X8) to remove unreacted polyamide amine and the purified polyamide polymerization agent 6b (designated PAM- 4080) was obtained by crystallization of crude product from methanol/acetone.

  • RP-HPLC profiles Figure 15 suggest that reagent reacted specifically. A specific ⁇ '-peak, which could be a modified ⁇ -peak, was detected at all ratios of PAM tested. Specific reaction with the subunits was also supported by the decrease in titrable thiol residues.
  • Reagent PAM is expected to bind specifically to cysteine- ⁇ 93 residues, and about 65% and 90% of thiol groups are modified when 1 and 2 equivalents of PAM are used, respectively.
  • the binding of PAM to the cysteine residue results in a decrease in P50 values of the polymerized products to 18 to 20 mm Hg.
