Definitions
- the present application discloses pegylated derivatives of recombinant human interferon lambda 1 (PEG-interferon lambda 1 conjugates or PEG- ⁇ ), processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing these conjugates and processes for making the same.
- PEG-interferon lambda 1 conjugates or PEG- ⁇ pegylated derivatives of recombinant human interferon lambda 1 conjugates or PEG- ⁇
- HCV Hepatitis C virus
- AI a-interferons
- Interferons are currently used for the treatment of many viral diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, condyloma acuminata, lepromatous leprosy, chronic leukaemia and AIDS.
- AI are also effective in reducing malignant tumors and treating Kaposi's sarcoma, melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma.
- AI are applicable in the prevention and treatment of diseases in cattle and other livestock.
- AI enhance the activity of vaccines used in prophylaxis and treatment of foot and mouth disease and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome.
- AI have been produced from human cell lines incubated in tissue culture media or leukocytes derived from donors. However, these methods are time consuming, labor intensive, expensive, and not amenable to large scale manufacturing. Furthermore, there is the risk of septicaemia caused by infectious agents from the cell lines.
- IL-29 is a member of the helical cytokine family and is a type III interferon. It is also known as interferon lambda 1 ( ⁇ ) and is highly similar in amino acid sequence to IL-28, the other type III interferon.
- IL-28 and IL-29 ( ⁇ ) were recently described as members of a new cytokine family that shares with type I interferon (IFN), the same Jak/Stat signaling pathway driving expression of a common set of genes. Accordingly, they have been named ⁇ .
- IFN type I interferon
- ⁇ exhibit several common features with type I IFNs: antiviral activity, antiproliferative activity and in vivo antitumor activity. Importantly, however, ⁇ bind to a distinct membrane receptor, composed of IFNLR1 and IL10R2.

- PEG moieties are attached to the protein by first activating the PEG moiety and then reacting the activated PEG agent with the side chains of an amino acid of a protein, such as the lysine residue and/or the N-terminal amino group on the protein.
- the most frequently used PEG is monofunctional PEG because this moiety resists cross-linking and aggregation.
- One such example has been disclosed by Davis et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 4,179,337.
- PEG-interferon lambda 1 is a pegylated derivative of human recombinant ⁇ (wherein polyethylene glycol is conjugated to ⁇ , also referred to as the "conjugate") that is useful in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in adult patients.
- PEG- ⁇ bypasses the action of extracellular enzymes and resists filtration in the kidney after injection into the patient's body; therefore its half-life in circulation is extended. That is, the conjugate has significantly improved stability, better solubility, and enhanced circulating half-life and plasma residence times when compared to the corresponding non-PEG-conjugated ⁇ .

- the present application discloses processes for preparing a
- the present application discloses an artificial synthesis of the gene encoding ⁇ based on the published sequence available from the National Center for
- Biotechnology Information (the encoding gene was modified to conform to the industrial production process on E.coli), creating of the gene transfer vectors, introducing these vectors into the bacteria, and selecting the bacterial strain that best produced ⁇ .
- the industrial manufacturing process for ⁇ includes the steps of: fermenting the initial material, collecting the solution of crude proteins and purifying the ⁇ protein.
- the fermentation process may be carried out in a 10 liter fermenting tank containing a nutrient medium and production of ⁇ was induced by lactose. The biomass obtained was separated and purified.
- ⁇ was collected and refined through a number of steps including: refolding the protein, separating the protein, for example by ion exchange chromatography (cation 1 and cation 2), and refining the protein on a gel.
- the pegylation process comprises a reaction between the linear chain (a-methoxy-co-(4-nitrophenoxy carbonyl)) polyoxyethylene (PEG-pNC- with a molecular weight of 40 kDa) and ⁇ .
- the resulting conjugate product may be purified by chromatography, such as using an HPLC system, and tested for quality and purity.
- Example 1 Process for preparing E. coli strain containing the gene encoding human recombinant interferon lambda 1 ( ⁇ )
- the gene encoding ⁇ was artificially synthesized based on the protein sequence data available from NCBI or other databases.
- the novel method provided herein reduces the time required to isolate the gene but still provides a result as accurate as the conventional method.
- the nucleic acid sequence used to produce ⁇ in Nanogen Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Co., Ptd. is shown in Figure 1 and the amino acid sequence of this protein is shown in Figure 2.
- the expression vector pNanogen-IL29 (comprising the T7 transcription promoter region, the ⁇ transgene, the T7 reverse priming site, the T7 transcription terminator, the fl origin, the kanamycin resistance gene, and the pUC origin of replication) was specifically designed to enable high expression of the protein and facilitate fermentation for industrial production of a large quantity of ⁇ .
- Figures 3, 4 show the process for creation of vector pNanogen 1-IL29.
- Vector pNanogen 1-IL29 was then transferred into an E.coli strain suitable for expression of promoter T7.
- This strain has a genotype F ompT hsdSs (rB ' mB ' )gal dcm (DE3).
- the strain containing the ⁇ gene is termed E.Co/z ' -pNanogenl-IL29. It has the ability to produce higher than 100 mg of ⁇ per litre by fermentation (see Figure 5) and was introduced into the original strain bank.
- Example 2 Process for fermentation of E. coli to produce human recombinant ⁇
- the fermentation process was carried out in a 140 liter fermentation tank with nutrient medium at a temperature of 37+0.5 °C, air pressure 0.5 m 3 /h, pH 7.0+0.2, stirring rate of 300 rpm and the pH was maintained at between 6.8-7.2 by adding H 3 PO 4 or NH 4 OH.
- the temperature was cooled to 30+0.5 °C and the stirring rate was reduced to 200 rpm to start the process for the generation of ⁇ .
- the fermentation process was stopped after 4 hours and the cold product was centrifuged at 6000 rpm to obtain biomass.
- the biomass was disrupted in a cell lysis solution (12 ml solution per 1 g wet biomass) by homogenizing in a homogenizing device. The temperature was maintained at 4 °C for 1 hour, then the cells were disrupted 2 times by an ultrasonic device. The resulting suspension was centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 30 minutes to give a pellet. The pellet was then washed with an inclusion body wash buffer (12 ml buffer per lg wet biomass), the resulting suspension was kept at 4 °C for 1 hour, then centrifuged twice at 13,000 rpm for 30 minutes to obtain a pellet.
- an inclusion body wash buffer (12 ml buffer per lg wet biomass
- the pellet was dissolved in 2M urea solution and incubated ice-cold for 1 hour, the suspension was then centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 30 minutes to give the pellet. The pellet was dissolved in a wash solution and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 30 minutes to give a resulting pellet. The pellet was then dissolved in 6M guanidine solution, the suspension was kept ice-cold for 12-16 hours, and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 30 minutes. The solution containing protein was recovered and purified in next step.
- ⁇ was refolded by dissolving the inclusion bodies in refolding solution (25mM Tris buffer, ImM PDTA, 1.2M guanidine, pH 8.2) such that the final concentration of the inclusion bodies were 500 ⁇ g/ml.
- the mixture was then kept at 2-8 °C for 16-24 hours.
- the resulting mixture was desalted before being subjected to a purification step on a Sephadex G25 column.
- the salt exchange buffer was a phosphate buffer (lOmM, pH 8.0).
- step “cation 1” the desalted mixture was loaded onto a Sephadex G25 column (this column was prefilled with CM- Sepharose FF gel and equilibrated in lOmM phosphate buffer pH 8.0), the product was eluted using lOmM sodium phosphate + 0.5M NaCl pH 8.0.
- the resulting protein solution was desalted and chromatographed as above (step “cation 2"). The protein solution was then filtered through a gel column to give the product human recombinant ⁇ with purity greater than 95% (see the spectrum and electrophoresis results in Figures 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9).
- the reaction conditions for the conjugation reaction of the activated PEG or m-PEG reagent to the ⁇ further include conducting the reaction using about equi-molar to a relatively small molar excess of the activated PEG or m-PEG with respect to ⁇ .
- the conjugation may be carried out with about 1-10 fold molar excess; or about 1.5 to 7 fold molar excess; or about 1.75 to 5 fold molar excesses.
- the conjugation reaction can be carried out at about room temperature, or about 20-25 °C.
- the conjugation reaction may be allowed to proceed for about 1 to 10 hrs, 1 to 5 hrs, 1 to 3 hrs or about 1 to 2 hrs, before the reaction is terminated by quenching.
- the reaction conditions provide a mixture of the PEG- ⁇ positional isomers.
- each isomer contains a single PEG-linker unit attached to the ⁇ via an amino acid residue as disclosed herein.
- the resulting composition containing these conjugates may be used or may be separated by chromatography using standard purification methods, including ultrafiltration, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography and size exclusion chromatography.
- the purification method used for the separation and purification of the conjugates is cation exchange
- the site of conjugation on the ⁇ may be influenced by the pH of the reaction medium. Modification of the particular pH of the conjugation process will result in certain preferred sites of conjugation. For example, under certain conditions, the conjugation at basic pH values, such as pH of 7.5 or higher, 8.0 or higher, 8.5 or higher or 9.0 or higher, favors the conjugation to a lysine group of the ⁇ .
- the pegylation reagent suh as PEG-pNC, forms a carbamate linker between the PEG and ⁇ .
- Additional pegylation reagents that may be employed in the above process include oxycarbonyl-oxy-N-dicarboximide (such as succinimidyl carbonate, succinimidyl succinate), para-nitroaryl carbonates, para-nitrophenyl carbonates, carbonyl di-imidazole, benzotriazole carbonates, pyridyl carbonates, N-succinimide, N-phthalimide, N-glutarimide, and N-tetrahydrophthalimide as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,122,614.
- oxycarbonyl-oxy-N-dicarboximide such as succinimidyl carbonate, succinimidyl succinate
- para-nitroaryl carbonates para-nitrophenyl carbonates
- carbonyl di-imidazole benzotriazole carbonates
- Representative activated PEG or mPEG compounds that may be used to form the conjugate include PEG-2,4,6-trichloro-S- triazine, mPEG-2,4,6-trichloro-S-triazine, PEG-N-succinimidyl glutarate, mPEG-N-succinimidyl glutarate, PEG-N-succinimidyl succinate and mPEG-N-succinimidyl succinate.
- Antiviral activities of the conjugates of the formula la in the above table at ED 50 are about 25.00 to 28.00; with a Mean (ng/ml) of about 1.0 to about 30.0; SD of about 0.1 to about 1.0 and RSD of about 3.0 to 7.0.
- the conjugates of the formula la in the above table are administered to patienst at 200 ⁇ g (weekly subcutaneous injection) + ribavirin 15 mg/kg (daily). In the first 4 weeks, all patients are determined to be free of HCV RNA (free virus in serum). The treatment protoccols are continued for 12 weeks. All patients achieve primary endpoint of total viral surpression after 12 weeks treatment and 12 weeks follow up.
- Figure 10 shows the spectrum of the purification process and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis of ⁇ .
- the resulting PEG- ⁇ had a purity that is higher than 95% and antiviral EMC activity on Hep-2C cell with ED 50 about 10-50 ng/ml (see example 6).
- Example 6 Examination of antiviral activity of IF l and PEG- ⁇
- Peglamda PEG- ⁇ 200 ⁇ g (weekly subcutaneous injection) + ribavirin 15 mg/kg (daily).
- ribavirin 15 mg/kg (daily).
- All patients were determined to be free of HCV RNA (free virus in serum). The treatment was continued for 12 weeks.
- the presently disclosed treatment protocol was found to be effective for greater than 80%, 85%, 90 % or greater than 95% of the HCV resistant patient population. Accordingly, the treatment methods using the PEG- ⁇ demonstrate efficacy in HCV including cases of resistance to current standard therapy of peginterferon alfa-2a with ribavirin. No significant side effects that are typically associated with the combination therapy of PEGASYS® with ribavirin were observed.
- Example 7 Identification of ⁇ and PEG- ⁇
- Example 8 Molecular weight of PEG- ⁇ [0093] The MALDI-TOF assay was applied to determine the molecular weight of PEG-IFWJ. The result is provided in Figure 12. In the present example, the Nanogen's PEG- ⁇ has a molecular weight of approximately 62 kDa.
- electrophoresis gel was stained with coomassie blue, destained and then analyzed using Phoretix software (TotalLab, England). All tested lots showed purity higher than 95%.
- Acute toxicity of PEG- ⁇ The acute toxicity of PEG- ⁇ was assessed in Swiss mice and rats. Healthy ICR mice and Sprague-Dawley rats, at 5 week old, were chosen for the study. The animals were inspected for two weeks. PEG- ⁇ was administered at three different dosages (high dose 3 mg/kg, medium dose 0.3mg/kg, low dose 0.03 mg/kg and the vehicle treatment (phosphate buffer saline, pH 7.2)) by subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection. Animals were observed for clinical signs, body weight changes, and mortality 14 days after treatment. At the end of the study, all animals were sacrificed, and their tissues and organs were examined for abnormalities. The results are summarized in table 4.
- the lethal dose (LD50) of Nanogen's PEG-IFTSai in mouse and rat was greater than 3 mg/kg.
- Subacute toxicity of PEG- ⁇ Animals (5 weeks old rats) were administered PEG- ⁇ at three different dosages (high dose 3 mg/kg, medium dose 0.3 mg/kg, low dose 0.03 mg/kg) by subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection once a day for 4 weeks.
- the sensitized guinea pigs were observed for active systemic anaphylaxis reactions after injection of a high dose PEG-IFWJ. A list of indications was used as a sign of anaphylactic reaction and their occurrence was monitored in each tested animal.
- Table 6 shows the study method and results.
