Definitions
- the present invention relates to hydroxyalkyl starch derivates, particularly hydroxyalkyl starch derivatives obtainable by a process in which hydroxyalkyl starch is reacted with a primary or secondary amino group of a linker compound.
- the present invention relates to hydroxyalkyl starch derivatives obtainable by a process according to which hydroxyalkyl starch is reacted with a primary or secondary amino group of a linker compound and the resulting reaction product is reacted with a polypeptide, preferably with a glycoprotein and especially preferably with erythropoietm, via at least one other reactive group of the linker compound.
- a hydroxyalkyl starch which is especially preferred is hydroxyethyl starch.
- the hydroxyalkyl starch and preferably the hydroxyl ethyl starch is reacted with the linker compound at its reducing end which is not oxidized prior to said reaction.
- HES Hydroxyethyl starch
- Amylopectin consists of glucose moieties, wherein in the main chain alpha- 1,4- glycosidic bonds are present and at the branching sites alpha- 1,6-glycosidic bonds are found.
- the physical-chemical properties of this molecule are mainly determined by the type of glycosidic bonds. Due to the nicked alpha- 1,4-glycosidic bond, helical structures with about six glucose-monomers per turn are produced.
- the physico- chemical as well as the biochemical properties of the polymer can be modified via substitution.
- the introduction of a hydroxyethyl group can be achieved via alkaline hydroxyethylation.
- DE 26 16 086 discloses the conjugation of hemoglobin to hydroxyethyl starch wherein, in a first step, a cross-linking agent, e.g. bromocyane, is bound to hydroxyethyl starch and subsequently hemoglobin is linked to the intermediate product.
- a cross-linking agent e.g. bromocyane
- HES HES-like styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styrene-styl-binds.
- erythropoietm an acid gly- coprotein of approximately 34,000 kD which is essential in regulating the level of red blood cells in the circulation.
- WO 94/28024 discloses that physiologically active polypeptides modified with polyethyleneglycol (PEG) exhibit reduced immunogenicity and antigenicity and circulate in the bloodstream considerably longer than uncon- jugated proteins, i.e. have a longer clearance rate.
- PEG-drug conjugates exhibit several disadvantages, e.g. they do not exhibit a natural structure which can be recognized by elements of in vivo degradation pathways. Therefore, apart from PEG-conjugates, other conjugates and protein polymerates have been produced.
- a plurality of methods for the cross-linking of different proteins and macromolecules such as polymerase have been described in the literature (see e.g. Wong, Chemistry of protein conjugation and cross-linking, 1993, CRCS, Inc.).
- HES-drug conjugates disclosed in the art suffer from the disadvantage that HES is not conjugated site-specifically to the drug. Consequently, the conjugation results in a very heterogenous product having many components that may be inactive due to the destruction of the 3 -dimensional structure during the conjugation step. Therefore, there is a need for further improved HES-polypeptides conjugates with improved stability and/or bioactivity.
- One method of producing these conjugates uses, as starting material, an oxidized form of HES which is reacted with a crosslinking compound wherein the resulting product is reacted with a polypeptide or further modified and subsequently reacted with a polypeptide. It is a major disadvantage of this method that in a first step, the original HES has to be selectively oxidized, generally at its reducing end, by oxidiz- ing the terminal aldehyde group and/or hemiacetale group to a lactone, thus rendering the overall process more difficult and expensive.
- WO 02/08079 A2 discloses compounds comprising a conjugate of an active agent and a hydroxyalkyl starch wherein active agent and hydroxyalykl starch are either linked directly or via a linker compound.
- the reaction of active agent and hydroxyalkyl starch is carried out in an aqueous medium which comprises at least 10 wt.-% of water.
- No examples are given which are directed to a hydroxyalkyl starch derivative which is produced by reacting hydroxyalkyl starch at its reducing end with a crosslinking compound comprising the structure unit -NH- in an aqueous medium.
- the at least one further compound is a polypeptide, preferably a protein, more preferably erythropoietm.
- the present invention relates to a method of producing a hydroxyalkyl starch derivative comprising reacting hydroxyalkyl starch (HAS) of formula (I)
- hydroxyalkyl starch refers to a starch derivative which has been substituted by at least one hydroxyalkyl group. Therefore, the term hydroxyalkyl starch as used in the present invention is not limited to compounds where the terminal carbohydrate moiety comprises hydroxyalkyl groups Ri, R 2 , and/or R 3 as depicted, for the sake of brevity, in formula (I), but also refers to compounds in which at least one hydroxy group present anywhere, either in the terminal carbohydrate moiety and/or in the remaining part of the starch molecule, HAS', is substituted by a hydroxyalkyl group Ri, R 2 , or R 3 .
- the alkyl group may be a linear or branched alkyl group which may be suitably substituted.
- the hydroxyalkyl group contains 1 to 10 carbon atoms, more preferably from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and even more preferably 2-4 carbon atoms.
- "Hydroxyalkyl starch” therefore preferably comprises hydroxyethyl starch, hydroxypropyl starch and hydroxybutyl starch, wherein hydroxyethyl starch and hydroxypropyl starch are particularly preferred.
- Hydroxyalkyl starch comprising two or more different hydroxyalkyl groups are also possible.
- the at least one hydroxyalkyl group comprised in HAS may contain two or more hydroxy groups. According to a preferred embodiment, the at least one hydroxyalkyl group comprised HAS contains one hydroxy group.
- hydroxyalkyl starch also includes derivatives wherein the alkyl group is mono- or polysubstituted.
- the alkyl group is substituted with a halogen, especially fluorine, or with an aryl group, provided that the HAS remains soluble in water.
- the terminal hydroxy group a of hydroxyalkyl group may be esterified or etherified.
- alkyl instead of alkyl, also linear or branched substituted or unsubstituted alkene groups may be used.
- Hydroxyalkyl starch is an ether derivative of starch.
- ether derivatives also other starch derivatives can be used in the context of the present invention.
- derivatives are useful which comprise esterified hydroxy groups. These derivatives may be e.g. derivatives of unsubstituted mono- or dicarboxylic acids with 2-12 carbon atoms or of substituted derivatives thereof.
- derivatives of unsubstituted monocarboxylic acids with 2-6 carbon atoms especially derivatives of acetic acid.
- acetyl starch, butyl starch and propyl starch are preferred.

- the substitute groups may be preferably the same as mentioned above for substituted alkyl residues.
- the present invention also relates to a method as described above wherein the hydroxyalkyl starch is hydroxyethyl starch.
- HES is mainly characterized by the molecular weight distribution and the degree of substitution. There are two possibilities of describing the substitution degree:
- substitution degree can be described relatively to the portion of substituted glucose monomers with respect to all glucose moieties (DS).
- substitution degree can be described as the "molar substitution” (MS), wherein the number of hydroxyethyl groups per glucose moiety are described.
- HES solutions are present as polydisperse compositions, wherein each molecule differs from the other with respect to the polymerisation degree, the number and pattern of branching sites, and the substitution pattern. HES is therefore a mixture of compounds with different molecular weight. Consequently, a particular HES solution is determined by average molecular weight with the help of statistical means.
- M n is calculated as the arithmetic mean depending on the number of molecules.
- M w the weight mean, represents a unit which depends on the mass of the HES.
- hydroxyethyl starch may have a mean molecular weight (weight mean) of from 1 to 300 kDa, wherein a mean molecular weight of from 5 to 100 kDa is more preferred. Hydroxyethyl starch can further exhibit a molar degree of substitution of from 0.1 to 0.8 and a ratio between C 2 : C 6 substitution in the range of from 2 to 20 with respect to the hydroxyethyl groups.

- the present invention also related to a method as described above wherein Ri, R 2 and R 3 are independently hydrogen or a linear or branched hydroxyalkyl group with from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.

Hydrogen and hydroxyethyl groups are preferred, hydrogen and the 2-hydroxyethyl group being especially preferred.
- the present invention also relates to a method as described above wherein Ri, R 2 and R 3 are independently hydrogen or a 2-hydroxyethyl group.

- the hydroxyalkyl starch derivative which in the following is referred to as HAS- EPO conjugate and which is formed by reaction of compound (I) with compound (II) and possibly a crosslinking compound and erythrpoietin, has the advantage that it exhibits an improved biological stability when compared to the erythropoietin before conjugation. This is mainly due to the fact that this hydroxyalkyl starch derivative is less or even not recognized by the removal systems of the liver and kidney and therefore persists in the circulatory system for a longer period of time. Furthermore, since the HAS is attached site-specifically, the risk of destroying the in-vivo biological activity of EPO by conjugation of HAS to EPO is minimized.
- the HAS-EPO conjugate of the invention may exhibit essentially the same in-vitro biological activity as recombinant native EPO, since the in-vitro biological activity only measures binding affinity to the EPO receptor. Methods for determining the in- vitro biological activity are known in the art.
- the HAS-EPO exhibits a greater in- vivo activity than the EPO used as a starting material for conjugation (unconjugated EPO).
- Methods for determining the in vivo biological activity are known in the art.
- the HAS-EPO conjugate may exhibit an in vivo activity of from 110 % to 300 %, preferably from 110 % to 200 %, more preferably from 110 % to 180 % or from 110 to 150 %, most preferably from 110 % to 140 %, if the in-vivo activity of the unconjugated EPO is set as 100 %.
- the HAS- EPO exhibits preferably at least 50%, more preferably at least 70 %, even more preferably at least 85 % or at least 95 %, at least 150 %, at least 200 % or at least 300 % of the in vivo activity of the highly sialylated EPO if the in-vivo activity of highly sialylated EPO is set as 100 %. Most preferably, it exhibits at least 95 % of the in vivo activity of the highly sialylated EPO.
- the high in-vivo biological activity of the HAS-EPO conjugate of the invention mainly results from the fact that the HAS-EPO conjugate remains longer in the circulation than the unconjugated EPO because it is less recognized by the removal sys- tems of the liver and because renal clearance is reduced due to the higher molecular weight.
- Methods for the determination of the in-vivo half life time of EPO in the circulation are known in the art (Sytkowski, Lunn, Davis, Feldman, Siekman, 1998, Human erythropoietin dimers with markedly enhanced in vivo activity, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 95(3), 1184-8).
- HAS-EPO conjugate which may be administered less frequently than the EPO prepara- tions commercially available at present. While standard EPO preparations have to be administered at least every 3 days, the HAS-EPO conjugate of the invention is preferable administered twice a week, more preferably once a week.
- the method of the invention has the advantage that an effective EPO derivative can be produced at reduced costs since the method does not comprise extensive and time consuming purification steps resulting in low final yield, e.g. it is not necessary to purify away under-sialylated EPO forms which are known to exhibit low or no in-vivo biological activity.
