Definitions

  • This invention relates to the synthesis and methods of use of therapeutic agents targeted to cells, especially hepatocytes.
  • the safety and efficacy of a therapeutic agent is a function of (i) its intrinsic biological activity and (ii) the biodistribution achieved after its administration.
  • Many potentially useful therapeutic agents possess a biochemical activity ameliorating a particular pathological condition, but the presence of the agent in normal, nonpathological tissue results in deleterious effects that prevent the use of the agent. Damage to a normally functioning kidney, bone marrow, liver tissue or other organ may limit the use of therapeutic agents with established antiviral activity, or agents with established anti-cancer activity.
  • Targeting is the modification of a therapeutic agent so that after injection or oral administration the uptake by a specific population of cells is increased relative to uptake of the unmodified agent.
  • a therapeutic agent is a compound administered with the intent of changing in a beneficial manner some physiological function.
  • Therapeutic agents include radioprotective agents, chemoprotective agents, antiviral agents, antibodies, enzymes, and peptides.
  • One method of targeting therapeutic agents to specific cells involves attaching them to carrier molecules recognized by receptors performing receptor mediated endocytosis.
  • Of particular interest is targeting via the asialoglycoprotein receptor of hepatocytes. This receptor is present in high levels on normal hepatocytes but in lower levels or not at all on transformed hepatocytes (hepatoma cells) .
  • Diagnostic and therapeutic agents have been attached to asialoglycoprotein carriers and neoglycoprotein carriers recognized by the asialoglycoprotein receptor and targeted to the cells, see Table II of Meijer and van der Sullies, Pharm. Res. (1989) 6:105-118 and Ranade, J. Clin. Pharmacol. (1989) 29:685-694. Molecules recognizing the asialoglycoprotein receptor are most often either asialoglycoproteins or neoglycoproteins.
  • Asialoglycoproteins are formed by removing the sialic acid of glycoproteins and exposing galactose residues.
  • Neoglycoproteins are formed by attaching multiple galactose residues to non-glycoproteins such as human albumin.
  • targeting can be achieved only if the affinity of the carrier for the receptor is maintained.
  • the differential reactivity of the protein amine and carbohydrate hydroxyl groups of glycoprotein carriers, e.g. asialofetuin, is commonly used to achieve this goal.
  • the highly reactive amine groups of protein lysine residues are selectively modified, while the hydroxyl groups of carbohydrate are left intact and continue to recognize the receptor. Examples of this strategy are given in Van der Sluijs et al. (above) and in "Liver Diseases, Targeted Diagnosis and Therapy Using Specific Receptors and Ligands" (1991) Ed. G.Y. Wu and C.H.
  • Glycoproteins are prepared from animal cells and insuring nonconta ination with human infective viral pathogens is a major issue.
  • Glycoproteins will not generally tolerate organic solvents during conjugate synthesis, because such solvents frequently lead to a loss of biological activity and denaturation.
  • Glycoproteins can be toxic and/or antigenic.
  • Arabinogalactans are a class of polysaccharides obtained from the cell walls of many species of trees and other plants. A common, commercially available source of arabinogalactan is the American Western larch (Larix occidentalis) . Arabinogalactan from this source is used as a binder, emulsifier or stabilizer in foods.
  • arabinogalactans consists of a largely 1-3 linked D-galactose backbone with 1-6 linked branch chains of L-arabinoses and D-galactoses at practically every residue on the backbone.
  • the ratio of galactose to arabinose is between 5 to 1 and 10 to 1
  • arabinogalactans from plant sources in general range from about 1 to 4 to about 10 to 1
  • arabinogalactans from plant sources in general range from about 1 to 4 to about 10 to 1
  • arabinogalactans have different molecular weights with values of about 1-2 million to about 10,000 dalton ⁇ [Blake, J.D., Clarke, M.L.
  • Arabinogalactan sulfate has been used to form salts with drugs to influence drug absorption and prolong drug action [US4609640]. Acidic forms of arabinogalactan occur naturally having a composition which includes uranic acid [Clarke, A.E., Anderson, R.L., Stone, B.A. ,
  • the present invention provides for derivatives of arabinogalactan which can be used to target therapeutic agents to the cells possessing the asialoglycoprotein receptor.
  • polysaccharide arabinogalactan to target therapeutic agents to cells via the asialoglycoprotein receptor, a feature of the current invention, overcomes problems encountered when glycoproteins are used for this purpose.
  • arabinogalactan is a polysaccharide, it will tolerate exposure to organic solvents, which normally denature proteins during conjugate synthesis. Composed exclusively of sugars, the polysaccharide presents a narrow spectrum of reactive sites, an advantage compared to proteins where the variety of reactive sites can lead to unwanted synthetic byproducts. This advantage is evident in the examples below.
  • Arabinogalactan has low toxicity and antigenicity.
  • Arabinogalactan in its natural form reacts with the asialoglycoprotein receptor. This helps reduce manufacturing cost because the deasialylation reaction normally used to expose the penultimate galactose of glycoproteins is avoided.
  • arabinogalactan can be modified in a number of ways to produce molecules which preserve the useful affinity for the asialoglycoprotein receptor. This is surprising since arabinogalactan does not afford protein or amino groups for selective modifications distal from the receptor binding site. The ability to modify arabinogalactan while retaining its biological activity permits its use as a carrier for a wide variety of therapeutic agents with various targeting strategies.
  • targeting may be employed to deliver a therapeutic agent to normal rather than pathological tissue. This strategy is employed when it is desirable to protect normal tissues from other generally toxic agents; in some cases agents of known but controlled toxicity are employed in therapy.
  • the targeting of protective agents used in conjunction with normally toxic radiation, as in radiation therapy is an embodiment of the current invention and example of this type of targeting.
  • the targeting of protective agents used with chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer treatment is another embodiment of the current invention.
  • arabinogalactan derivatives of the invention must interact strongly with the asialoglycoprotein receptor, so they can be used to target therapeutic agents to cells via that receptor.
  • An assay to determine the strength of the interaction of arabinogalactan derivatives of the invention with the receptor is presented.
  • the antiviral therapeutic agent adenosine arabinoside mono-5'-phosphate is coupled to arabinogalactan.
  • ARA-AMP adenosine arabinoside mono-5'-phosphate
  • both antiviral therapeutic agents may also separately be coupled to arabino-galactans.
  • the radioprotective agent S-2-(3 aminopropylamino) ethyl- thiophosphoric acid (known as WR2721) is attached to arabinogalactan.
  • the invention provides methods and compositions which enable the attachment of a variety of therapeutic agents to arabinogalactan and the delivery of those agents into the cytoplasm of cells via endocytotic activity of the asialoglycoprotein receptor.
  • arabinogalactan used here in a preferred embodiment is highly purified and substantially free of endotoxins, and is derived from the Western Larch and has a single peak by size exclusion chromatography of about 20,000 daltons.
  • Arabinogalactan can be used in its native, 20,000 dalton form; alternatively polymers of arabinogalactan (molecular weight greater than the 20,000 dalton form), or degradative products (molecular weight below the 20,000 dalton form) can be used.
  • Purified arabinogalactan has a single peak of 20,000 daltons by gel filtration, and a ratio of galactose to arabinose of 5 to 1 as determined by the alditol acetate method.
  • arabinogalactan is distinguishable from other polysaccharides including dextrans, starches, celluloses, inulins, 1-4 linked galactan and gum arabic. Though chemically distinguishable from arabinogalactan, gum arabic is another polysaccharide which like arabinogalactan interacts with the asialoglycoprotein receptor.
  • the present invention provides for conjugates of arabinogalactan with the therapeutic agents such as ARA-AMP or WR2721.
  • the present invention also provides derivatives of arabinogalactan which interact with the asialoglycoprotein receptor.
  • a therapeutic agent can be targeted into the cells possessing that receptor, chiefly the hepatocytes.
  • Asialoglycoprotein receptors are dramatically reduced in primary hepatocellular cancers, and totally absent in secondary cancers to the liver, but are found in high concentration on normal hepatocytes [Josephson, Gro an et al., Mag. Res. Imag. (1990) 8:637-646].
  • Hepatocytes are the predominant cell possessing this receptor, and endocytose a large proportion of injected radiolabelled asialoglycoproteins [Hubbard, Wilson et. al., J. Cell Biol. (1979) 83:47-64].
  • asialoglycoprotein receptors have been detected on Kupffer cells [Lee, Haekyung, et al. Biol. Chem. Hoppe-Seyler (1988) 369: 705-714], bone marrow cells [Samoloski and Daynes, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. (1985) 82:2508-2512] and rat testis [Abullah and Kierszenbaum, J. Cell Biol. (1989) 108: 367-375].
  • a therapeutic agent may be targeted to any asialoglycoprotein receptor positive cell.
  • any receptor positive cell including stem cells, may be protected with a receptor targeted radioprotective agent based on arabinogalactan.
  • ARA-AMP is an antiviral therapeutic agent that has been evaluated in the treatment of hepatitis B, though its use is associated with serious neurological side effects [Lok, A.S., Wilson, L.A. et al., J. Antimicrob. Chemother. (1984) 11: 93-9; Hoffnagel, J.H. et al. , J. Hepatol. (1986) 3: S73-80] .
  • ARA-AMP conjugated to arabinogalactan, and targeted to asialoglycoprotein receptor possessing cells where viral replication is ongoing is expected to reduce unwanted side effects by reducing the concentration of the drug in the central nervous system and increasing the concentration of the drug in the organ of viral replication.
  • ARA-AMP has been coupled to a glycoprotein recognized by the asialoglycoprotein receptor [US 4794170].
  • Other antiviral therapeutic agents which may be used for this purpose include acyclovir and Ara-A.
  • antibodies may include polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies or antibody fragments.
  • the natural occurrence of antibodies in serum reflect past exposure to a virus but may have little or no protective, activity because viral replication occurs within the cytoplasm of cells [I.M. Roitt, "Essential Immunology,” Blackwell Scientific, London (1991), p. 28].
  • hepatitis B virus replication occurs within the hepatocytes of the liver and antibodies to viral antigens cannot directly bind the virus during this replication.
  • an antibody to a hepatitis B viral protein is conjugated to arabinogalactan, it will be targeted via the asialoglycoprotein receptor to the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. Within the cytoplasm the antiviral antibody will bind replicating hepatitis B virus and become an effective therapeutic agent.
  • arabinogalactan derivatives described have no known pharmacological activity, other than their ability to bind the receptor, but provide a substrate for attaching therapeutic agents, e.g., attachment to the amino, carboxyl, sulfhydryl, phosphoryl or other functional groups of the derivative.
  • the resulting conjugate will target the therapeutic agent to cells possessing the asialoglycoprotein receptor, principally the hepatocytes of the liver.
  • the carboxyl groups afforded by the succinyl-arabinogalactan, glutaryl-arabinogalactan and DTPA-arabinogalactan conjugates can be used to attach molecules through the use of carbonii ides or other agents.
  • the amino groups afforded by the arabinogalactan hydrazide (Example 3) or poly-L-lysine arabinogalactan (Examples 6, 8) can also be used to attach therapeutic agents by a variety of reactions.
  • the strong positive charge of poly-L-lysine can cause some agents such as negatively charged nucleic acids to adhere by ionic exchange forces [Wu, G.Y. and Wu, C.H., J. Biol Chem. (1987) 262: 4429-2232].
  • a preferred embodiment of this invention is a composition comprising arabinogalactan and poly-L-lysine, wherein the intended use is as a carrier for genes or antisense oligonucleotides used in parenteral administration [Degols, G.
  • galactose oxidase treatment of arabinogalactan can be used to create aldehyde groups.
  • the aldehyde groups can be reacted with diamino compounds (e.g. ethylenediamine) , to form a Schiff base, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride.
  • the resulting amino derivative of arabinogalactan can then be used for the attachment of therapeutic agents.
  • WR2721 has been the subject of recent clinical studies to ascertain whether it can be used to protect the normal cells of cancer patients during radiotherapy [Kligerman, M.M. , Liu, T. , Liu, Y.
  • WR2721 as a chemoprotectant has been objected to based on the lack of evidence that it selectively protects normal cells; i.e. it may protect normal and cancer cells from radiation [The Pink Sheet, Feb 3, 1992, 54, #5].
  • the attachment of WR2721 to arabinogalactan will overcome this shortcoming, directing the agent to cells possessing the asialoglycoprotein receptors.
  • the radioprotective activity of WR2721 will be targeted to normal cells since the asialoglycoprotein receptor is found chiefly on non-cancerous hepatocytes, see above.
  • Free radical scavengers other than WR2721 can be attached to arabinogalactan, and targeted to receptor bearing cells.
  • These scavengers include melanins [Hill, H.Z., Huselton, C. , Pilas, B. , Hill, G.J. ; Pigment Cell Res (1987) 1: 81-6], Trolox [Wu, T.W. , Hashimoto, N. , Au, J.X. , Wu, J., Mickle, D.A. , Carey, D. , Hepatology (1991) 13.: 575- 80], cysteamine derivatives [Schor, N.F., Siuda, J.F., Lomis, T.J. , Cheng, B. , Biochem J (1990) 267: 291-6], cationic aminothiols generally, glutathiols, and vitamin E derivatives.
  • the interaction of the arabinogalactan derivative with the asialoglycoprotein receptor can be determined in vivo.
  • the ability of a derivative to interact with the asialoglycoprotein receptor is assessed by its ability to block the clearance of a substance recognized to interact with the asialoglycoprotein receptor based on earlier work.
  • An arabinogalactan coated superparamagnetic iron oxide colloid interacts with this receptor and a quantitative assay for its clearance has been described below.
  • the arabinogalactan coated superparamagnetic iron oxide is rapidly cleared via the asialoglycoprotein receptor with a blood half-life of 2.8 minutes.
  • the interaction of free arabinogalactan with the asialoglycoprotein receptor effects an increase in blood half-life of this substance, providing a basis for evaluating the blocking ability of arabinogalactan derivatives.
  • a Sprague-Dawley rat (200-300 grams) is anesthetized (100 mg/kg of Inactin) and injected with a defined dose of a blocking agent, followed by an arabinogalactan coated superparamagnetic iron oxide at 40 umoles Fe/kg.
  • Blood is withdrawn and 1/T1, the spin-spin relaxation rate, determined.
  • the enhancement in 1/T1 is directly proportional to the concentration of superparamagnetic iron oxide, and from changes in 1/T1 the blood half-life is determined as described [Josephson et al. Mag Res. Imag. (1990) 8: 637-646].
  • Table 1 indicates that arabinogalactan can tolerate a substantial degree of modification produced by many different types of reactions, without losing its activity as a blocking agent (receptor binding activity) .
  • covalent modification especially high levels of covalent modification, generally decreases or destroys biological function.
  • arabinogalactan tolerates random modification with excellent retention of its receptor-recognizing biological activity.
  • two derivatives tested, the phosphoryl arabinogalactan and succinyl-arabinogalactan were more potent as blocking agents than the parent arabinogalactan. The basis for this highly surprising improved reactivity is unknown.
  • lactose a disaccharide-containing galactose, is substantially less active a blocker than arabinogalactan.
  • the ability of a derivatization procedure to damage the binding affinity of arabinogalactan for the asialoglycoprotein receptor is shown by example 18.
  • the acetate derivative has greater than 5 milli-equivalents of acetate per gram of arabinogalactan acetate and exhibited substantially reduced blocking activity.
  • arabinogalactan can be modified by the addition of phosphoryl, sulfhydryl, amino, carboxyl, halo, or acylimidazol groups, with receptor binding activity being unaffected.
  • the initial modification is performed on the hydroxyl groups on the arabinogalactan.
  • the derivatives can be used to prepare conjugates with therapeutic agents, as for example arabinogalactan-WR2721 or arabinogalactan-AMP (Table 1) . In some cases we describe the preparation of amino or carboxy arabinogalactan derivatives with no known therapeutic activity.
  • These derivatives can be used to attach a wide range of drugs or ligands to the amino or carboxy groups of derivatized arabinogalactan, with generally known crosslinking and conjugation chemistries. These derivatives can also be used to attach macromolecules like genes, proteins, antibodies and enzymes to arabinogalactan. A recent compendium of applicable reactions is S.W. Wong, "Chemistry of Protein Conjugation and Cross-linking," CRC Press Boca Raton, 1991). Reagents used to couple proteins to solid phase amino or carboxyl groups can also be used after minor modifications (see I. Chibata, "Immobilized Enzymes," Halstead Press, New York 1978) . Some examples of therapeutic agents that can be conjugated to arabinogalactan to provide useful pharmaceutical agents are listed in Table 2.

  • Example 2 Treatment of arabinogalactan with sodium borohydride. Ten grams sodium borohydride is added to 3,500 grams of a 28.6% (w/w) solution of arabinogalactan. The mixture is stirred overnight, and then dialyzed for six days against 35 liters of water (changing the water daily) using 3,500 dalton cut-off dialysis tubing to remove unreacted NaBH 4 . The 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolone hydrazone test for aldehyde is used to compare the aldehyde content of the arabinogalactan starting material to sodium borohydride reduced arabinogalactan. Arabinogalactan showed the blue dye formation characteristic of aldehyde, reduced arabinogalactan produced no dye, indicating essentially complete reduction.
