Definitions
- the present invention relates to a three-branched polyethylene glycol-interferon alpha conjugate.
- Interferon was discovered in 1957 by Isaacs and Lindenmann, and has been known to have an excellent antivirus effect [Isaacs et al, Virus interference, 147 (1957)]. Interferon is classified into Type I (IFN- ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ ) and Type II (IFN- Y ), and the cells generated by interferon are different such as white cell, fibroblast, T-cell, etc.
- interferon alpha Modified interferon alpha was allowed and begun to be used as a therapeutic agent for hairy cell leukemia from 1986.
- interferon is the first cytokine produced by the gene recombination technology and used for treating cancer [Pestka et al, Semin. Oncol., 24 (1997)].
- Interferon alpha is a pharmaceutically active protein having antiviral and antitumoral activities, and has been used for treating more than 14 classes of tumor and virus diseases in more than 40 nations in the world.
- Clinically effective treatment fields of interferon alpha are hairy cell leukemia, Kaposi's sarcoma, chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), B-cell lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma, melanoma, myeloma, renal cell carcinoma [Nagabhushan T.L. et al, Regulatory practice for biopharmaceutical production, 221-234 (1994)].
- interferon is the first human protein that can increase the life span of cancer patient, and is expected to be able to be applied to different kinds of tumors such as ovarian cancer, breast cancer, bronchial cancer, bladder cancer, gastric cancer et al., and acute leukemia [Mosbe Talpaz et al, Seminars in Hepatology, 38(3), 22-27 (2001)].
- interferon alpha-2a IFN alpha-2a
- interferon alpha-2b IFN-conl
- interferon-conl IFN-conl
- interferon as clinically useful protein remedy has such problems as low stability in vivo, fast elimination in vivo, antibody formation by repeated administrations and hypersensitivity reaction thereby, like enzymes, proteins, hormones, peptides generated by genetic engineering method.
- Polyethylene glycol is strongly hydrophilic, and can increase solubility at the time of bonding with therapeutic protein. Also, polyethylene glycol is effective for increasing the molecular amount of protein bonded thereto, with maintaining main biological functions such as enzyme activity and receptor binding. Thus, polyethylene glycol can decrease the glomerular filtration, and protect the protein effectively from proteolytic enzyme to decompose the protein. Therefore, polyethylene glycol has the advantages of preventing protein degradation, increasing the stability and circulation time of protein, and decreasing immunogenicity.
- linear polyethylene glycol has an molecular weight of about 1 ,000- 25,000 daltons, but it has a limitation in binding many linear high molecules to protein or peptide, with maintaining their activities, due to limited biological active regions of protein and peptide.
- Wana, H et al tried to bind branched mono-methoxy polyethylene(mPEG) derivatives to protein by using trichlorotriazine [Wana, H et al., Ann. N.Y.Acad.Sci. 613:95-108 (1990)].
- the size of activated branched polyethylene glycol derivatives is big, and so induces steric hinderance on the surfaces of protein or peptide, thereby reducing the activities of modified protein or peptide. Also, the derivatives usually cause low yield of purification due to incomplete branched polyethylene glycol derivatives.
- Korean Patent No. 0396983 tried to improve these problems of the branched high molecular derivatives.

They competitively participate in the bonding reaction to interferon, and generate low molecular PEG-interferon alpha conjugate and Di-PEG-interferon alpha conjugate which are difficult to purify.

All of three OH (hydroxy) regions in the glycerol structure are polymerized with ethylene glycol unit molecules, and the end of one region is activated as a functional group. The other two regions except the activated region are substituted with monomethoxy to prevent additional reactions.
