Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical formulations. More specifically the invention pertains to soluble and stable pharmaceutical formulations.
  • Therapeutic peptides are widely used in medical practise. Pharmaceutical compositions of such therapeutic peptides are required to have a shelf life of several years in order to be suitable for common use. However, peptide compositions are inherently unstable due to sensitivity towards chemical and physical degradation. Chemical degradation involves change of covalent bonds, such as oxidation, hydrolysis, racemization or crosslinking. Physical degra- dation involves conformational changes relative to the native structure of the peptide, which may lead to aggregation, precipitation or adsorption to surfaces.
  • Glucagon has been used for decades in medical practise within diabetes and several gluca- gon-like peptides are being developed for various therapeutic indications.

  • Sample preparation Samples were prepared freshly before each assay. Usually, acylated GLP-1 was dissolved to 6 mg/ml in desired buffer or solvent. The pH of the sample was adjusted to the desired value using appropriate amounts of concentrated NaOH and HCIO 4 . Thioflavin T was added to the samples from a 1 mM stock solution in H 2 O to a final concentration of 5 ⁇ M.
  • Sample aliquots of 100 ⁇ l were placed in a 96 well microtiter plate (Packard Opti- PlateTM-96, white polystyrene). Usually, eight replica of each sample (corresponding to one test condition) was placed in one column of wells. The plate was sealed with Scotch Pad (Qiagen).
  • the measurement points were saved in Microsoft Excel format for further process- ing and curve drawing and fitting was performed using GraphPad Prism.
  • the background emission from ThT in the absence of fibrils was negligible.
  • the data points are typically a mean of eight samples and shown with standard deviation error bars. Only data obtained in the same experiment (i.e. samples on the same plate) are presented in the same graph ensuring a relative measure of fibrillation between experiments.
  • the data set may be fitted to Eq. (1). However, since full sigmodial curves in this case are not usually achieved during the measurement time, the degree of fibrillation is expressed as ThT fluorescence at 20 and 40 hours, calculated as the mean of the eight samples and shown with the standard deviation.
  • the physical stability is always better in water at a given pH compared to phosphate buffer.
  • Using water adjusted to pH7.7 results in similar physical stability as achieved with 8 mM phosphate pH8.15, and in water at pH7.53 the physical stability is comparable with 8 mM phosphate pH7.88. Less tendency to fibril formation is observed when lowering the phosphate concentration at a given pH.
  • the phosphate concentration is gradually lowered from 8 mM phosphate to 1 mM phosphate at pH7.9.
  • 1 mM phosphate buffer, pH7.90 the physical stability is similar to that of an acylated GLP-1 solution in water, pH7.90.
  • zwitterionic buffer substances may be added without compromising the increased physical stability achieved in water in the absence of phosphate ions.
  • Solutions of acylated GLP-1 with 10 mM MOPS or TES are both more physical stable than a solution in 8 mM phosphate at pH8.14, see figure 4, and 10 mM MOBS pH7,9 has similar physical stability as water pH7.9, see figure 5.
  • HEPES or BICINE may be used as buffer at 10 mM without significantly increasing the fibrillation compared to water at pH7.89, see figure 6.
  • acylated GLP-1 are in all cases significantly more physically stable than in aqueous solution with 8 mM phosphate, pH7.92.
  • Buffered aqueous solutions using 10 mM HEPES become slightly more physically unstable when pH is gradually lowered from pH7.9 to pH7.51 , see figure 7.
  • these are still more stable than solutions buffered with phosphate, see figure 6.
  • acylated GLP-1 in 10 mM HEPES pH7.73 is as physically stable as in 8 mM phosphate pH8.15, compare figure 7 with figure 2.
  • Some amino acids may also be used as zwitterionic buffers.
  • an added tonicity modifier must not be an electrolyte/salt. This is illustrated in figure 9, where the addition of 10 mM NaCI to an acylated GLP- 1 solution in water promotes fibrillation. This effect is even more pronounced when adding 100 mM NaCI. However, both concentrations are much lower than the physiological NaCI concentration of 154 mM, usually applied when using NaCI as a tonicity modifier.
  • a skilled artisan in the field of protein NMR spectroscopy will be able to assign most of the resonance peaks of a proton NMR spectrum of a protein to specific protons (or proton groups) in the protein given that the actual behavior of the protein in solution give rise to a well resolved proton NMR spectrum (well known to the skilled artisan in the field).
  • the line width of the resonance peaks in the protein NMR spectrum reflects to some extend the size and dynamic properties of the protein in solution.
  • Aqueous solution of acylated GLP-1 at concentrations between 1 and 30 mg/ml, with or without buffers in the pH range 7.0 to 8.2 give rise to NMR spectra that to a high extend allow the afore mentioned resonance assignment.
  • Narrow proton resonances of the imidazol side chain of the N-terminal histidine is reflecting a higher degree of structural flexibility of the N-terminal part of acylated GLP-1 in so- lution as compared to more broad proton resonances of the imidazol side chain of the N- terminal histidine which reflects that this part of the structure is more rigid and ordered.
  • amide protons of glutamic acid residue 9 and glycine residue 10 of acylated GLP-1 can be separately monitored under the influence of different buffer substances or variation in additives and their concentration under otherwise constant conditions.
  • the exchange rate of amide protons in the pH range 7.0 to 8.2 reflects clearly the degree to which the specific amide protons are protected from direct access to the solvent water molecules.
  • Figure 11 shows that the two mentioned amide proton resonances vary in line width and intensity as buffers or additives are changed. Surprisingly, but very pronounced, is the almost disappearance of amides protons resonances in the NMR spectrum of acylated GLP- 1 in aqueous solution buffered with 8 mM phosphate at pH 7.9 compared to the non-buffered situation.
