Definitions
- This invention relates to a non-cleavable targeted conjugate that will bind to and enter cells expressing the neurokinin-1 receptor. More specifically, the invention relates to conjugates that do not undergo disulfide exchange and lose stability and activity, and use of said conjugates, to reduce or eliminate chronic pain and other neurokinin-1 receptor associated disorders.
- Another cleavable linker a disulfide chain prepared with Ellman’s reagent, was active, but with a lower EC50 than the SPDP-linked conjugate. These data indicated that a non-disulfide containing construct would be less active.
- the 2-iminothiolane treated gelonin and pokeweed antiviral protein used in Lambert et al. was conjugated using either a cleavable SPDP linkage, or a non-cleavable succinimidyl-4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) linkage.
- SMCC succinimidyl-4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate
- ribosome-inactivating proteins used from basic research to the clinic is saporin, isolated from the plant Saponaria officinalis , or soapwort. Saporin has no targeting mechanism of its own; therefore non-specific cell killing is kept at a minimum. In order for saporin to kill non-targeted cells it must be present at very high concentrations.
- the various ribosome-inactivating proteins use enzymatic methods to destroy cellular ribosomes, irreversibly inactivating protein synthesis (15). Ribosome-inactivating proteins have been researched extensively as cancer therapeutics (16-18).
- SP-SAP cleavable conjugate of the peptide substance P and saporin
- Substance P is an 11-amino acid peptide that plays roles in a number of different systems.
- the receptor for this peptide is NK-1R.
- SP and the NK-1R have been shown to be involved with respiratory rhythm (20), mood disorders, anxiety and stress (21), and reinforcement (22).
- One of the most important roles for SP is in the spinal cord in the transmission of pain signals from peripheral pain receptors to the brain (23-25).
- Work in the 1980′s began to implicate the SP/NK-1R system in the establishment and maintenance of a chronic pain state (19, 26). As this work progressed it became clear that NK-1R-expressing neurons in the spinal cord were responsible for transmission of the chronic pain signal (24, 27, 28).
- Mantyh et al. utilized a conjugate of SP and the ribosome-inactivating protein saporin to eliminate chronic pain in rats (19).
- This conjugate used an N-terminal extended version of SP.
- the peptide extension contained a glycine spacer and an N-terminal cysteine for conjugation.
- the modified SP was conjugated to derivatized saporin using a cleavable SPDP linker. This conjugate is described in US patent #6063758 (29) and has been used extensively to investigate chronic pain (30, 31).
- SSP stable substance P
- a toxin such as a ribosome-inactivating protein
- the various ribosome-inactivating proteins use enzymatic methods to destroy cellular ribosomes, thereby irreversibly inactivating protein synthesis (15).
- Use of a toxin such as a ribosome-inactivating protein will eliminate the cell, removing it completely.
- Ribosome-inactivating proteins have been researched extensively as cancer therapeutics (16-18).
- An example of a type-1 ribosome-inactivating protein is saporin, with a molecular weight of 30,000 daltons (17). The activity of saporin is, as the family name suggests, the inactivation of ribosomes, the ‘workbench’ for protein synthesis in a cell.
- Saporin unlike ricin, has no intrinsic method of cell-entry; the native protein is nontoxic until the cell is exposed to extremely high concentrations. Attaching a specific targeting molecule to saporin, or any other ribosome-inactivating protein, creates a cytotoxic agent that, when used at low concentrations, will eliminate very specific cell populations.
- a conjugate of substance P and the type I ribosome-inactivating protein saporin has been used to in preclinical studies of chronic pain (19, 37).
- a conjugate of substance P and the type I ribosome-inactivating protein saporin has been used in a veterinary clinical trial (38).
- a conjugate of substance P and the type I ribosome-inactivating protein saporin has been used to in preclinical studies of chronic itch (39).
- Central sensitization is a long-term potentiation of spinal cord neurons that creates a hyperexcitation state that is a characteristic of several maladies associated with pain and itch (40).
- SP-SAP has been reported by several authors to be able to prevent either maintenance or establishment of central sensitization (41-43). Because of this property, SP-SAP should be useful for the treatment of maladies such as chronic pain (40), fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (44), post-traumatic stress disorder (45), and chronic itch (39), among other afflictions (46).
- botulinum toxin The primary example of a toxin that can prevent neurotransmission yet not kill the neuron is botulinum toxin. Purification of this toxin was first reported in 1946 (47), and the mechanism of action was deduced by various groups in the 1990′s (48, 49). Botulinum toxins work by cleaving the synaptic vesicle protein SNAP25, preventing the formation of the vesicle (50). The vesicles are necessary to carry neurotransmitters to the ending of the axons, where they fuse with the plasma membrane and release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. If the vesicles do not form, neurotransmission cannot take place. Use of an analog of botulinum toxin will inactivate neurons for a period of 14 weeks for chronic pain (51), and 16 weeks for type-A resistant cervical dystonia (52).
- molecular neurosurgery The method of making local injections of conjugates that will only target specific cell populations is termed molecular neurosurgery.
- Molecular neurosurgery is a far more specific lesioning technique than administration of non-specific toxins, or physical techniques such as surgical removal of tissue, or electrolytic lesions.
- Molecular neurosurgery provides a method for elimination or temporary inactivation of specific cell populations, leaving non-targeted cells intact and fully functional.
- Martin and Sloviter (32) utilized this technique in the hippocampus to eliminate inhibitory neurons.
- Martin and Sloviter injected 0.4 ng of SSP-SAP, a toxin specific for neurons that express the substance P receptor (NK-1R), directly into the hippocampus.
- NK-1R-expressing neurons such as parvalbumin, cholecystokinin, somatostatin, calbindin, and calretinin.
- Other hippocampal cells such as the NK-1R-negative dentate granule cells, hilar mossy cells, and CA1-CA3 pyramidal cells were left intact and unharmed.
- This invention provides noncleavable conjugates and methods for treating neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R)-related disorders comprising a molecule that is recognized and internalized by cells expressing the NK-1R, and a molecule that is taken inside the cell to kill or temporarily alter the cell.

- the invention describes the creation of a non-cleavable conjugate between substance P and its analogs, and saporin or other proteins.
- the novelty of these conjugates is the non-cleavable linker that does not reduce the activity of the conjugate.
- FIG. 1 Coomassie stained NuPage gel of SP-SAP conjugated with a SPDP linker. The conjugate was dialyzed against PBS or borate buffered saline in order to examine whether either buffer could prevent disulfide exchange.
- FIG. 2 Chromatogram of SP-SAP conjugated with a SPDP linker passed over a S-100 column. 1 ml of the conjugate was applied to a 17 ml S-100 column in 50 mM borate buffer pH 8.5. 1 ml fractions were collected. No observable separation of proteins was detected, and a coomassie stained gel of the fractions showed that free cys -1 -SAP was present along with the conjugate.
- maleimide is an unsaturated imide prepared from maleic anhydride by treatment with amines followed by dehydration (54).
- Maleimide-activated crosslinkers and labeling reagents react specifically with sulfhydryl groups at near neutral conditions (pH 6.5-7.5) to form stable thioether linkages.
- Disulfide bonds in protein structures e.g., between cysteines
- maleimide reaction buffers Extraneous thiols, such as most reducing agents, must be excluded from maleimide reaction buffers because they will compete for coupling sites.
- Short homobifunctional maleimide crosslinkers enable disulfide bridges in protein structures to be converted to permanent, irreducible linkages between cysteines. More commonly, the maleimide chemistry is used in combination with amine-reactive NHS-ester chemistry in the form of heterobifunctional crosslinkers that enable controlled, two-step conjugation of purified peptides and/or proteins.
- the substance P used in the SP-SAP conjugate is synthesized commercially to contain a maleimidopropionic acid (MPA) group at the N-terminus of the peptide.
- MPA maleimidopropionic acid
- the two modifications ensure that substance P will only be conjugated to saporin at a single known location that in no way affects the natural interaction of substance P with its receptor.
- the saporin that is used in the SP-SAP conjugate is also modified. Rather than co-opting a potentially functional site necessary for the enzymatic activity, the saporin used in SP-SAP is recombinantly produced to contain an available, non-native cysteine at the amino terminus. As this is the only available cysteine within the saporin protein, there is only one location for the substance P and saporin to be linked.
- This conjugate has been designed at the amino acid level to ensure that every molecule of conjugate contains one substance P and one saporin, linked to each other at the designated, artificially introduced location.
- the non-cleavable conjugate was not susceptible to steady-state disulfide exchange ( FIG. 3 ), and was not reduced by reducing agents such as beta-mercaptoethanol ( FIG. 4 ).
- the non-cleavable SP-SAP was a homogenous protein containing both the SP targeting moiety and the saporin toxin moiety, as demonstrated by C4 HPLC ( FIG. 5 , FIG. 6 ).
- Western blotting of the cleavable SP-SAP conjugate ( FIG. 7 , FIG. 8 ) and the non-cleavable conjugate ( FIG. 9 , FIG. 10 ) demonstrated that there was no steady-state disulfide exchange occurring in the non-cleavable conjugate.
- the in vitro cytotoxic activity of the non-cleavable SP-SAP was identical to that of the SPDP-linked cleavable conjugate ( FIG. 9 ).
- FIG. 3 Coomassie stained NuPage gel of SP-SAP conjugated with a MPA linker. There is no free cys -1 -SAP present in either the PBS or borate buffer stored conjugate.
- the high molecular weight material is due to gel artifacts present when electrophoresing a high isoelectric point protein such as saporin.

- FIG. 5 Chromatogram of SP-SAP conjugates run over a C4 column in HPLC. Both lots of SP-SAP analyzed were conjugated with SPDP linkers.

- FIG. 6 Chromatogram of SP-SAP conjugates run over a C4 column in HPLC. These 5 separate batches of SP-SAP were all made using a MPA linker. There is only one peak, indicating that no free cys -1 -SAP is present. The same run conditions were used as in FIG. 5 .
- FIG. 7 Western blot of SP-SAP conjugate made with a SPDP linker. After running the proteins on a NuPage gel, the proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane and incubated with anti-saporin. The 3 visible bands, from top to bottom, are; dimerized cys -1 -SAP, SP-SAP, and free cys -1 -SAP.

Substance P is only present on one of the bands visible in FIG. 7 .
- FIG. 9 Western blot of SP-SAP conjugate made with a MPA linker. After running the proteins on a NuPage gel, the proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane and incubated with anti-saporin.

- The concept of directing a toxin to a specific population of cells as a therapeutic strategy was first published by Thorpe et al. in 1978 (1). Since that time, the field has grown greatly with several antibody-toxin conjugates reaching clinical trials (2-6). This strategy has been extended to the attachment of targeting molecules other than antibodies to various toxins, and the conjugates have been used in a wide range of research. Other targeting molecules have included proteins such as basic fibroblast growth factor (7, 8), vascular endothelial growth factor (9), and transferrin (10), as well as peptides such as gonadotrophin (11), and corticotrophin-releasing hormone (12).
- The conjugation methods used to attach the functional molecules have not varied much. In part, this is because there are just a few practical protein chemical modification targets; primary amines, carboxyls, sulfhydryls, and carbonyls. As the toxin conjugate field grew, the most common conjugation techniques used disulfide chemistry to link two molecules. Early work done by Lambert et al. indicated that 2-iminothiolane modification of primary amines was the best method for preparing the ribosome-inactivating proteins gelonin and pokeweed antiviral protein for conjugation (13). Work done by Masuho et al. demonstrated that SPDP modification of sulfhydryl groups worked well with ricin (14).
- One finding from both Masuho et al. and Lambert et al. is that the bond linking the targeting molecule (in both cases an antibody or antibody fragment) had to be cleavable for the toxin moiety to maintain activity. Masuho et al. compared conjugates created with 4 different linkers. The conjugate made with N-Succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)-propionate (SPDP) displayed the highest activity. The two covalently linked conjugates, which used N,N′-o-phenylenedimaleimide and N-succinimidyl m-(N-maleimido)benzoate had very low cytotoxic activity. Another cleavable linker, a disulfide chain prepared with Ellman’s reagent, was active, but with a lower EC50 than the SPDP-linked conjugate. These data indicated that a non-disulfide containing construct would be less active.
- The 2-iminothiolane treated gelonin and pokeweed antiviral protein used in Lambert et al. was conjugated using either a cleavable SPDP linkage, or a non-cleavable succinimidyl-4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) linkage. The results indicate that the cytotoxic activity of a covalently linked antibody-toxin conjugate was reduced by about 70% from that of a conjugate made with a cleavable linker.
- The takeaway lesson in the field was that ribosome-inactivating protein conjugates must be made with cleavable linkers in order to maintain cytotoxic activity.
- One of the most common ribosome-inactivating proteins used from basic research to the clinic is saporin, isolated from the plant Saponaria officinalis, or soapwort. Saporin has no targeting mechanism of its own; therefore non-specific cell killing is kept at a minimum. In order for saporin to kill non-targeted cells it must be present at very high concentrations. The various ribosome-inactivating proteins use enzymatic methods to destroy cellular ribosomes, irreversibly inactivating protein synthesis (15). Ribosome-inactivating proteins have been researched extensively as cancer therapeutics (16-18). A cleavable conjugate of the peptide substance P and saporin (SP-SAP) has been used to treat chronic pain in laboratory animals (19).
- Substance P (SP) is an 11-amino acid peptide that plays roles in a number of different systems. The receptor for this peptide is NK-1R. SP and the NK-1R have been shown to be involved with respiratory rhythm (20), mood disorders, anxiety and stress (21), and reinforcement (22). One of the most important roles for SP is in the spinal cord in the transmission of pain signals from peripheral pain receptors to the brain (23-25). Work in the 1980′s began to implicate the SP/NK-1R system in the establishment and maintenance of a chronic pain state (19, 26). As this work progressed it became clear that NK-1R-expressing neurons in the spinal cord were responsible for transmission of the chronic pain signal (24, 27, 28).
- In 1997 Mantyh et al. utilized a conjugate of SP and the ribosome-inactivating protein saporin to eliminate chronic pain in rats (19). This conjugate used an N-terminal extended version of SP. The peptide extension contained a glycine spacer and an N-terminal cysteine for conjugation. The modified SP was conjugated to derivatized saporin using a cleavable SPDP linker. This conjugate is described in US patent #6063758 (29) and has been used extensively to investigate chronic pain (30, 31).
- In 2001 Martin and Sloviter made the first investigation using a conjugate in which the SP moiety was a peptidase resistant analog of SP called stable substance P (SSP) (32). SSP contains two amino acid substitutions from the native sequence. The glycine at
position 9 has been replaced with sarcosine, and the methionine atposition 11 is oxidized (33). Not only was this peptide found to be highly selective for the NK-1R over the NK-2R and NK-3R (34), it was found to be much more active than native SP (33), in large part because of its resistance to peptidase digestion (35). - Internalization of a toxin such as a ribosome-inactivating protein will kill the cell. The various ribosome-inactivating proteins use enzymatic methods to destroy cellular ribosomes, thereby irreversibly inactivating protein synthesis (15). Use of a toxin such as a ribosome-inactivating protein will eliminate the cell, removing it completely. Ribosome-inactivating proteins have been researched extensively as cancer therapeutics (16-18). An example of a type-1 ribosome-inactivating protein is saporin, with a molecular weight of 30,000 daltons (17). The activity of saporin is, as the family name suggests, the inactivation of ribosomes, the ‘workbench’ for protein synthesis in a cell. This will cause protein synthesis to come to a halt, and result in the death of the cell (36). Saporin, unlike ricin, has no intrinsic method of cell-entry; the native protein is nontoxic until the cell is exposed to extremely high concentrations. Attaching a specific targeting molecule to saporin, or any other ribosome-inactivating protein, creates a cytotoxic agent that, when used at low concentrations, will eliminate very specific cell populations.
- A conjugate of substance P and the type I ribosome-inactivating protein saporin has been used to in preclinical studies of chronic pain (19, 37). A conjugate of substance P and the type I ribosome-inactivating protein saporin has been used in a veterinary clinical trial (38). A conjugate of substance P and the type I ribosome-inactivating protein saporin has been used to in preclinical studies of chronic itch (39).
- Central sensitization is a long-term potentiation of spinal cord neurons that creates a hyperexcitation state that is a characteristic of several maladies associated with pain and itch (40). SP-SAP has been reported by several authors to be able to prevent either maintenance or establishment of central sensitization (41-43). Because of this property, SP-SAP should be useful for the treatment of maladies such as chronic pain (40), fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (44), post-traumatic stress disorder (45), and chronic itch (39), among other afflictions (46).
- The primary example of a toxin that can prevent neurotransmission yet not kill the neuron is botulinum toxin. Purification of this toxin was first reported in 1946 (47), and the mechanism of action was deduced by various groups in the 1990′s (48, 49). Botulinum toxins work by cleaving the synaptic vesicle protein SNAP25, preventing the formation of the vesicle (50). The vesicles are necessary to carry neurotransmitters to the ending of the axons, where they fuse with the plasma membrane and release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. If the vesicles do not form, neurotransmission cannot take place. Use of an analog of botulinum toxin will inactivate neurons for a period of 14 weeks for chronic pain (51), and 16 weeks for type-A resistant cervical dystonia (52).
- The method of making local injections of conjugates that will only target specific cell populations is termed molecular neurosurgery. Molecular neurosurgery is a far more specific lesioning technique than administration of non-specific toxins, or physical techniques such as surgical removal of tissue, or electrolytic lesions. Molecular neurosurgery provides a method for elimination or temporary inactivation of specific cell populations, leaving non-targeted cells intact and fully functional. Martin and Sloviter (32) utilized this technique in the hippocampus to eliminate inhibitory neurons. Martin and Sloviter injected 0.4 ng of SSP-SAP, a toxin specific for neurons that express the substance P receptor (NK-1R), directly into the hippocampus. Cells expressing the NK-1R in the hippocampus were eliminated within a radius of 1-2 mm from the injection site. The specificity of the toxin conjugate was confirmed by the concurrent elimination of markers co-expressed by NK-1R-expressing neurons such as parvalbumin, cholecystokinin, somatostatin, calbindin, and calretinin. Other hippocampal cells such as the NK-1R-negative dentate granule cells, hilar mossy cells, and CA1-CA3 pyramidal cells were left intact and unharmed.

- This invention is further illustrated in the Experimental Details Sections which follow. These sections are set forth to aid in understanding the invention but are not intended to, and should not be construed to, limit in any way the invention as set forth in the claims which follow thereafter.
- The invention describes the creation of a non-cleavable conjugate between substance P and its analogs, and saporin or other proteins. The novelty of these conjugates is the non-cleavable linker that does not reduce the activity of the conjugate.
- When producing the Substance P-Saporin conjugate using the cleavable SPDP linker, it was found that there was a small amount of steady state disulfide exchange occurring in the final product (53). As a result, the conjugate final product contained a mixture of SP conjugated to saporin, saporin dimers, and presumably SP dimers (
FIG. 1 ).FIG. 1 : Coomassie stained NuPage gel of SP-SAP conjugated with a SPDP linker. The conjugate was dialyzed against PBS or borate buffered saline in order to examine whether either buffer could prevent disulfide exchange. Although less disulfide exchange occurred in the borate buffered saline, free cys-1-SAP can be seen in SP-SAP from both buffers. The band with a molecular weight of approximately 60 kDa is dimerized cys-1-SAP, also seen in both buffers. - A number of different methods to remove the impurities were examined, including ion-exchange chromatography and size-exclusion chromatography (
FIG. 2 ).FIG. 2 : Chromatogram of SP-SAP conjugated with a SPDP linker passed over a S-100 column. 1 ml of the conjugate was applied to a 17 ml S-100 column in 50 mM borate buffer pH 8.5. 1 ml fractions were collected. No observable separation of proteins was detected, and a coomassie stained gel of the fractions showed that free cys-1-SAP was present along with the conjugate. - Given the tendency of the cleavable linker to assume an equilibrium in which a small amount of disulfide exchange occurs, none of these methods produced a homogeneous final product. This heterogeneous mixture was problematic for the advancement of SP-SAP as a therapeutic.
- Despite evidence in peer-reviewed journals indicating that a non-cleavable linker was necessary to maintain cytotoxic activity, it was decided to utilize maleimide chemistry to create a conjugate. Maleimide is an unsaturated imide prepared from maleic anhydride by treatment with amines followed by dehydration (54). Maleimide-activated crosslinkers and labeling reagents react specifically with sulfhydryl groups at near neutral conditions (pH 6.5-7.5) to form stable thioether linkages. Disulfide bonds in protein structures (e.g., between cysteines) must be reduced to free thiols (sulfhydryls) to react with maleimide reagents. Extraneous thiols, such as most reducing agents, must be excluded from maleimide reaction buffers because they will compete for coupling sites. Short homobifunctional maleimide crosslinkers enable disulfide bridges in protein structures to be converted to permanent, irreducible linkages between cysteines. More commonly, the maleimide chemistry is used in combination with amine-reactive NHS-ester chemistry in the form of heterobifunctional crosslinkers that enable controlled, two-step conjugation of purified peptides and/or proteins.
- As early as 1986 work was beginning on non-peptidic linkers (55). The advantages this kind of chemistry provides include reduced steric hindrance to improve binding, longer conjugate half life, and the ability to more easily modify the linker to fit specific needs.
- The substance P used in the SP-SAP conjugate is synthesized commercially to contain a maleimidopropionic acid (MPA) group at the N-terminus of the peptide. In addition there is a spacer placed between the MPA group and the native peptide sequence, providing relief from any steric hindrance during receptor binding. The two modifications ensure that substance P will only be conjugated to saporin at a single known location that in no way affects the natural interaction of substance P with its receptor.
- The saporin that is used in the SP-SAP conjugate is also modified. Rather than co-opting a potentially functional site necessary for the enzymatic activity, the saporin used in SP-SAP is recombinantly produced to contain an available, non-native cysteine at the amino terminus. As this is the only available cysteine within the saporin protein, there is only one location for the substance P and saporin to be linked. This conjugate has been designed at the amino acid level to ensure that every molecule of conjugate contains one substance P and one saporin, linked to each other at the designated, artificially introduced location.
- The non-cleavable conjugate was not susceptible to steady-state disulfide exchange (
FIG. 3 ), and was not reduced by reducing agents such as beta-mercaptoethanol (FIG. 4 ). By all measurements the non-cleavable SP-SAP was a homogenous protein containing both the SP targeting moiety and the saporin toxin moiety, as demonstrated by C4 HPLC (FIG. 5 ,FIG. 6 ). Western blotting of the cleavable SP-SAP conjugate (FIG. 7 ,FIG. 8 ) and the non-cleavable conjugate (FIG. 9 ,FIG. 10 ) demonstrated that there was no steady-state disulfide exchange occurring in the non-cleavable conjugate. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of the non-cleavable SP-SAP was identical to that of the SPDP-linked cleavable conjugate (FIG. 9 ). -
FIG. 3 : Coomassie stained NuPage gel of SP-SAP conjugated with a MPA linker. There is no free cys-1-SAP present in either the PBS or borate buffer stored conjugate. The high molecular weight material is due to gel artifacts present when electrophoresing a high isoelectric point protein such as saporin. -
FIG. 4 : Coomassie stained NuPage gel of SP-SAP conjugated with a maleimide linker compared to SP-SAP with a disulfide linker after treatment with 105 Bis-Tris with 2-Mercaptoethanol. -
FIG. 5 : Chromatogram of SP-SAP conjugates run over a C4 column in HPLC. Both lots of SP-SAP analyzed were conjugated with SPDP linkers. The main peak is SP-SAP; the secondary peak is dimerized cys-1-SAP. The conjugates were run in a mobile phase of 20% acetonitrile/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, with a 10-90% gradient of 80% acetonitrile/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. -
FIG. 6 : Chromatogram of SP-SAP conjugates run over a C4 column in HPLC. These 5 separate batches of SP-SAP were all made using a MPA linker. There is only one peak, indicating that no free cys-1-SAP is present. The same run conditions were used as inFIG. 5 . -
FIG. 7 : Western blot of SP-SAP conjugate made with a SPDP linker. After running the proteins on a NuPage gel, the proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane and incubated with anti-saporin. The 3 visible bands, from top to bottom, are; dimerized cys-1-SAP, SP-SAP, and free cys-1-SAP. -
FIG. 8 : Western blot of SP-SAP conjugate made with a SPDP linker. After running the proteins on a NuPage gel, the proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane and incubated with anti-SP. This blot is identical to the one inFIG. 7 , other than having been probed with an anti-SP antibody instead of an anti-saporin antibody. Substance P is only present on one of the bands visible inFIG. 7 . -
FIG. 9 : Western blot of SP-SAP conjugate made with a MPA linker. After running the proteins on a NuPage gel, the proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane and incubated with anti-saporin. Only one band is visible on this blot, indicating that there is no free cys-1-SAP or dimerized cys-1-SAP present. There is no disulfide exchange occurring with this conjugate. -
FIG. 10 : Western blot of SP-SAP conjugate made with a MPA linker. After running the proteins on a NuPage gel, the proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane and incubated with anti-SP. Only one band is visible on this blot, and it is the same size as the band visible on the western blot fromFIG. 8 . -
FIG. 11 : Cytotoxicity assay comparing SP-SAP conjugated using a SPDP linker to SP-SAP conjugated using a MPA linker. KNRK cells transfected with the NK-1R were incubated in a 96-well plate, and conjugate or saporin control was added to the wells. The EC50′s of the two SP-SAP conjugates are virtually identical, indicating that the non-cleavable conjugate maintains full activity. - The synthesis of a non-cleavable substance P conjugate is not straightforward. The carboxy terminus of this peptide is necessary for binding to the NK-1R. The invention describes an N-terminal extension for substance P that contains a maleimidopropionic acid group available for conjugation. The modification allows for the construction of a non-cleavable conjugate maintaining NK-1R-binding activity with the addition of a cell-modifying molecule that will kill or temporarily alter the target cell. This conjugate will bind the NK-1R and be internalized, giving the modifying molecule access to the neuronal cytosol.
- The invention described here resolves a serious problem in the synthesis of a disulfide-linked conjugate used as a pharmaceutical agent. After a period of time, particularly at high concentration (>250 µg per mL), the original desired linkage, a disulfide bond connecting the peptidic moiety with the protein moiety will exchange with other disulfide linkages. In the case of the conjugate between a peptide and a protein, new populations will appear after purification of the peptide-protein conjugate. The following possibilities will occur:
- 1) A peptide-peptide conjugate, a molecule with only peptidic activity, but a competitive binding inhibitor of the peptide-protein moiety.
- 2) A “new” peptide-protein conjugate, a change with no apparent effect.
- 3) A peptide-“new” protein conjugate, a change with no apparent effect.
- 4) A protein-protein conjugate, a change that creates an untargeted molecule with only the protein’s activity retained.
- Disulfide exchange results in loss of purity and homogeneity of the desired conjugate product, despite extensive purification. It creates new, unwanted, conjugates with undesirable properties. This invention’s purpose is to prevent that from happening and the data in the Figures demonstrate this purpose is achieved with this invention.
- Characterization of the non-cleavable SP-SAP conjugate was done by cytotoxicity assay (
FIG. 11 ), BCA protein assay, HPLC (FIG. 6 ), western blotting (FIG. 9 ,FIG. 10 ), inhibition assay, endotoxin assay, and coomassie stained SDS-PAGE (FIG. 3 ).
