Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the subject enzyme modified with heparin, useful for the remedy of tissue damage caused by superoxide generated from O2 in the living body and exhibiting excellent pharmacological effect as an intravenous injection because of its high retainability of enzymatic activity and long half-life in blood. CONSTITUTION:The objective enzyme is a superoxide dismutase(SOD) modified with heparin preferably at a rate of 2-12 molecules of heparin per 1 molecule of SOD. The enzyme can be produced e.g. by reacting cyanuryl chloride to the hydroxyl group of heparin and bonding the chloride to the amino group of SOD via the triazine ring of the cyanuryl chloride.

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention provides heparin-modified superoxide dismutase (hereinafter referred to as "superoxide dismutase") useful for the treatment of tissue damage caused by superoxide (0) generated from oxygen molecules in the body. , S.O.
(abbreviated as D). [Description of the Prior Art] Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that has the effect of eliminating superoxide (0;) by a dismutation reaction shown in the following formula. SOD 20 rich + 2 H Ox +Hz Tissue damage caused by oxygen, such as osteoarthritis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, damage caused by radiation, damage caused by ultraviolet rays, oxygen retinopathy of prematurity, cataracts, side effects of anticancer drugs such as adriamycin, and depression. It is attracting attention as an effective treatment for disorders associated with the resumption of blood flow to blood areas. Although SOD is promising as a medicine, its pharmacological activity is often not fully demonstrated because its half-life in the bloodstream is very short (approximately 5 minutes). The reason why SOD has a very short half-life in the bloodstream is that its molecular weight (32,000) is smaller than the filtering limit of the renal glomerulus (approximately 50,000 molecular weight), so it disappears from the blood quickly. It is thought that it is excreted in the urine. Therefore, in order to fully demonstrate the pharmacological activity of SOD,

11.1159 (1980)], polyalkylene glycol (JP-A No. 61-249388), inulin (JP-A No. 58-32826), etc. were used to make SOD into a macromolecule, and the half-life of SOD in the blood was reduced. Attempts are being made to increase it. By the way, when using macromolecular SOD as a regular intravenous drug, it not only has a long half-life in the blood, but also has a high enzyme activity retention rate and is highly safe as a medicine. desirable. However, these macromolecular SODs have problems in that they are not fully satisfactory in terms of enzyme activity retention, blood half-life, antigenicity, and pharmaceutical safety. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The purpose of the present invention is to combine SOD, which is useful in the treatment of tissue damage caused by O generated from oxygen molecules in the living body, with heparin, which has been confirmed to be safe as a medicine. The modified SOD obtained by this method (hereinafter abbreviated as r-modified SODJ) is provided. [Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of intensive research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that the "modified SODJ" of the present invention shows almost no decrease in SOD activity due to SOD modification. Also, r modification S
The inventors discovered that the half-life of ODJ in the blood was also significantly longer, leading to the completion of the present invention. That is, the present invention relates to SOD modified with heparin. The present invention will be explained in detail below. The "modified SODJ" of the present invention is obtained by chemically bonding SOD with heparin, a polysaccharide, and exhibits an enzyme activity retention rate of about 90% and a blood half-life of about 13 hours. It is. Examples of the SOD used in the production of the r-modified SODJ of the present invention include those derived from animals such as cows and humans, plants such as spinach, and microorganisms such as Serratia. r modification S
It is preferable to use SOD as ODJ. As such human SOD, human SOD such as human red blood cells and placenta can be used, but in recent years, human SOD produced by applying genetic engineering technology (for example,
1-111690, etc.) is more preferable because a stable sample can be obtained in large quantities. The heparin used for producing the r-modified SODJ of the present invention preferably has a molecular weight of 5,000 to 20,000. The binding ratio of SOD and heparin in the production of r-modified SODJ of the present invention is preferably 1 to 20 molecules, preferably 2 to 12 molecules per molecule of SOD. The r-modified SODJ of the present invention has functional groups of SOD (for example,
amino group or carboxyl group) and the functional group of heparin (
For example, by using a carboxyl group, an amino group, or a hydroxyl group, preferably << is PH 6. 0 to 10, more preferably pH 7. It combines SOD with a concentration of 0 to 8.5 and activated heparin at a concentration of 0.1 to 10%. For example, 1. After reacting the hydroxyl group of heparin with cyanuric chloride, A method for bonding SOD and heparin by bonding to the amino group of SOD through Method for bonding SOD and heparin by bonding ■ Introducing a carboxyl group to the hydroxyl group of heparin using succinic anhydride, and then converting the carboxyl group into an ester using N-hydroxysuccinic acid and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. It can be produced by a method such as a method in which SOD and hevarin are bonded by introducing and bonding this to the amino group of SOD.

In this way, the ``modified SODJ'' obtained by combining heparin and SOD has an enzymatic activity retention rate of 87%. [Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to Examples. It should be noted that these Examples are for illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The activity retention rate of the modified SODJ shown in the Examples of the present invention was determined by the method shown by Oyanagui (Oyanagui, Y.;

, 290-296 (1984)], the specific activity of SOD was determined before and after modification of heparin, and the specific activity was determined from the change. In addition, the number of molecules of heparin bound per SOD molecule can be determined using a high-speed gel filtration ram for analysis.
The molecular weight of r-modified SODJ was measured using 00 PW and 5000 PW (both manufactured by Tosoh Corporation), and the molecular weight was determined by comparing the molecular weight with that of SOD.

Blood was collected in ml portions, and the amount of SOD in the plasma was measured using the Oyanagi SOD activity assay method described above. To determine the half-life of r-modified SODJ in the bloodstream, the relative activity of these SODs in plasma was plotted against time, and the half-life was approximately 13 hours. Comparative Example 1 In order to determine the half-life of unmodified SOD in the bloodstream, the relative amount of SOD in plasma was determined using Wista strain rats (male, weight 250±30 g) in the same manner as in Example 2. As a result of plotting the activity and relative concentration against time, the half-life was approximately 5 minutes for both relative activity and relative concentration. [Effects of the Invention] The r-modified SODJ of the present invention, which has a high enzyme activity retention rate and an improved half-life in the bloodstream, can be used as an intravenous agent for SOD.
It enhances the pharmacological effects of. Patent applicant: Ube Industries, Ltd.
