Definitions

  • Glatiramer Acetate is a synthetic polypeptide analog of myelin basic protein (MBP), which is a natural component of the myelin sheath. It is also defined in the Physicians' Desk Reference, 56 th Edition 2002 as consisting of acetate salts of synthetic polypeptides, containing four naturally occurring amino acids: namely, L- glutamic acid, L-alanine, L-tyrosine and L-lysine with an average molar fraction of 0.141, 0.427, 0.095 and 0.338 respectively. The average molecular weight is 4,700- 11,000 daltons.
  • Glatiramer Acetate is a novel, safe and effective treatment for patients with the exacerbating- remitting form of multiple sclerosis and it is the active ingredient of CopaxoneTM, a medicament used for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
  • the process for the synthesis of Glatiramer Acetate is based on the polymerization of N-carboxyanhydrides of alanine 2, ⁇ -benzyl glutamate 3, N ⁇ -trifluoroacetyl lysine 7 and tyrosine 5, in anhydrous and cancer suspect solvent dioxane at room temperature for 24 hours using diethylamine as initiator (Scheme 2).
  • Glatiramer acetate with the required average molecular weight (4.7 to 11 kDa) can be obtained either by chromatography of intermediate 10 containing high molecular weight species and collecting the fractions without the undesired species or by partial acid or enzymatic hydrolysis to remove the high molecular weight species with subsequent purification by dialysis or ultrafiltration. Further methods to obtain Glatiramer Acetate having the required average molecular weight are based on the preparation of the desired species while the amino acids are still protected, followed by deprotection.
  • the present invention is directed to a new process for the preparation of a polypeptide designated in the present invention as 1 comprising the following amino acid units in the structure, namely: L-alanine, L-glutamic acid, L- lysine and L-tyrosine randomly arranged in the polypeptide 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein said process, comprises the steps of:
  • the advantages of the current process are the result of (i) the novel choice of side chain protection on the glutamic acid and lysine moieties and (ii) the utilization of acetic acid as solvent for the deprotection step thereby permitting the isolation of polypeptide 1 as an acetate salt directly from the reaction mixture without any additional procedures.
  • said polymerization is carried out in the presence of an initiator, preferably said initiator comprises at least one of the following: diethylamine, triethylamine and diisopropylamine.
  • a process of manufacturing Glatiramer Acetate comprising a single step deprotection of a protected copolymer 6, said protected copolymer 6 comprising a mixture of L- alanine, L-tyrosine, a protected L-glutamate and a protected L-lysine, protected by at least one protecting group, preferably said at least one protecting group is selected from a substituted or unsubstituted ⁇ -benzyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted N ⁇ -benzyloxycarbonyl group or an aryl group, preferably said substituted ⁇ -benzyl group or N ⁇ -benzyloxycarbonyl group is substituted with at least one of the following: Br, CI, NO 2 , OCH 3 .
  • said separation and purification of the polypeptide 1 is carried out in a single step, preferably said single step involves a single dialysis against water.
  • Protected Copolymer 6 (2.00 g) was dissolved in 40 mL of acetic acid by heating at 80°C under nitrogen. To the yellow solution was added 0.6 g Pd/C (30% wt.) and cyclohexene (5 mL) and then the reaction mixture was stirred at 80°C under nitrogen for 4 hours. The reaction was filtered through celite and the cake was washed with 4 mL of hot acetic acid. After evaporation of the filtrate with 32 mL toluene, a beige solid was obtained (polypeptide 1, 1.4 g, 70%).
  • Protected copolymer 6 (5.00 g) was dissolved in 100 mL of acetic acid by heating at 80°C under nitrogen. To the yellow solution was added 1.5 g Pd/C (30% wt.) and 1,4-cyclohexadiene (7.4 mL) and then the reaction mixture was stirred at 80 0 C under nitrogen for 48 hours. The reaction was filtered through celite and the cake washed with 20 mL of hot acetic acid. After evaporation of the filtrate with 32 mL toluene, a beige solid was obtained (polypeptide 1, 2.8 g, 56%).
