Definitions

  • the disclosure belongs to the field of medicine, in particular to a drug conjugate of glucocorticoid.
  • Interleukin-4 consists of 153 amino acids with a molecular weight of about 17 kDa. Initially, IL-4 was discovered because of its ability to stimulate B cell proliferation and was named B cell stimulating factor-1 (BSF-1). IL-4, like IL-13, belongs to the type I cytokine family and has a quaternary structure composed of a hydrophobic bundle core of 4 ⁇ helices. IL-4 is secreted by TH2 cells, participates in TH2-mediated immune response, and has a wide range of biological activities, including stimulating the proliferation of T cells, mast cells, granulocytes, megakaryocytes, and erythrocytes.
  • BSF-1 B cell stimulating factor-1
  • IL-4 can also stimulate B cells to express major histocompatibility complex class 2 molecules.
  • IL-13 and IL-4 have approximately 30% amino acid sequence homology and many similar functions. Both IL-4 and IL-13 can promote B cell proliferation and co-stimulate CD40/CD40L to induce IgM type conversion to IgE.
  • IL-4 promotes the aggregation of mast cells, up-regulates the expression of high-affinity IgE receptors on mast cells and IgE low-affinity receptor CD23 (Fc ⁇ RII) on B cells, up-regulates the expression of vascular endothelial cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1), and promotes the expression of eosinophils. , T lymphocytes, monocytes and basophils transfer. Unlike IL-13, IL-4 can promote the differentiation of naive T cells into TH2.
  • IL-4 needs to bind to membrane receptors to exert biological functions.
  • the human interleukin receptor (IL-4R) is a heterodimer formed by two polypeptide chains, one of which has a high affinity for IL-4, because the IL-4R ⁇ chain has a strong affinity for IL-4 in the IL-4R complex.
  • the combination of -4 plays a leading role, so IL-4R ⁇ is often used instead of IL-4R in many scientific studies and reports.
  • IL-4R is expressed on various cells such as human B cells, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, macrophages/monocytes, DC cells, fibroblasts, airway epithelium and smooth muscle.
  • IL-4R ⁇ can form two types of receptor complexes with other subunits, and the type I receptor composed of IL-4R ⁇ and ⁇ c is mainly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells.
  • IL-4 mainly acts through the type II receptor composed of IL-4R ⁇ and IL-13R ⁇ 1.
  • Type II receptors are co-receptors for IL-4 and IL-13, and IL-13 functions in combination with IL-13R ⁇ 1. Both type I receptors and type II receptors transduce signals through the Jak/STAT pathway.
  • IL-4R ⁇ , ⁇ c and IL-13R ⁇ 1 bind to Jak1, Jak3 and Tyk2 respectively to activate downstream pathways.
  • IL-4 and IL-13 can also pass through The insulin receptor substrate family (IRS) transduces signals and finally activates PI3-K and NF- ⁇ B in the nucleus.
  • IFS insulin receptor substrate family
  • Blocking IL-4R can inhibit both IL-4 and IL-13 biological functions.
  • Atopic dermatitis also known as atopic dermatitis or atopic dermatitis
  • AD Atopic dermatitis
  • IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IL-13 are a common disease in dermatology. It is more common in children and adolescents.
  • TH2 factors are related to the disease process of AD, and the overexpression of IL-4, IL- Mice with 13 and other TH2 factors exhibit skin protection defects and AD-like symptoms [14][15] .
  • IL-13 and IL-4 also play an important role in asthma.
  • Asthma is a common lung inflammatory disease characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), mucus hypersecretion, fibrosis, and elevated IgE levels.
  • Nonspecific stimuli such as cold air often Leading to increased airway hyperresponsiveness, AHR and mucus hypersecretion lead to airway obstruction, which is the main cause of death in asthma.
  • TH2 factor plays an important role in the process of asthma, and IL-4 and IL-13 are overexpressed in bronchial and alveolar lavage fluid of asthmatic patients.
  • IL-13 and IL-4 share some functional similarities, some studies have shown that IL-13 plays a more important role than other Th2 cytokines in the progression of asthma.
  • IL-13 can promote the differentiation and fibrosis of goblet cells. Injection of recombinant IL-13 into the airways of allergen-na ⁇ ve mice resulted in airway inflammation, mucus hypersecretion, and airway hyperresponsiveness, and injection of soluble IL13R ⁇ 2 prevented AHR, mucus hypersecretion, and lung inflammation in mice happened. Injection of IL-4R ⁇ antibody in an asthma model can reduce eosinophils in AHR and alveolar lavage fluid. Research suggests that blocking IL-4R ⁇ may be effective in treating asthma.
  • Glucocorticoids are also more effective drugs for the treatment of allergic diseases and inflammation.
  • glucocorticoids produced in vivo such as cortisol and corticosterone
  • synthetic glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone, prednisone, prednisolone, and budesonide are known. Since these glucocorticoids have a steroid structure, they are collectively referred to as steroids and are used in the treatment of various diseases. However, these steroids may cause side effects such as steroid peptic ulcer, steroid purpura, steroid pancreatitis, steroid diabetes, steroid cataract, and steroid glaucoma due to their use.
  • ADC Antibody drug conjugate

Description

糖皮质激素的药物偶联物 技术领域
本公开属于医药领域,具体涉及一种糖皮质激素的药物偶联物。
背景技术
白介素4(Interleukin-4,IL-4)由153个氨基酸组成,分子量约为17kDa。最初,因为IL-4能够刺激B细胞增殖而被发现,并被命名为B细胞刺激因子-1(BSF-1)。IL-4与IL-13一样属于I型细胞因子家族,具有4α螺旋的疏水束核心所构成的四级结构。IL-4由TH2细胞分泌,参与TH2介导的免疫应答,具有广泛的生物学活性,包括刺激T细胞、肥大细胞、粒细胞、巨核细胞和红细胞增殖。此外,IL-4还可以刺激B细胞表达主要组织相容性复合物2类分子。IL-13与IL-4具有大约30%的氨基酸序列同源性和多种相似的功能。IL-4和IL-13都能促进B细胞增殖,并联合CD40/CD40L共刺激诱导IgM类型转变成IgE。IL-4促进肥大细胞聚集,上调肥大细胞高亲和力IgE受体和B细胞上IgE低亲和力受体CD23(FcεRII)的表达,上调血管内皮细胞黏附分子(VCAM-1)表达,促进嗜酸性粒细胞、T淋巴细胞、单核细胞和嗜碱性粒细胞的转移。与IL-13不同的是,IL-4可以促进幼稚T细胞分化成TH2。
IL-4需要与膜受体结合而发挥生物学功能。人白介素受体(IL-4R)是由两条多肽链形成的异二聚体,其中一条α链对IL-4有很高的亲和力,由于在IL-4R复合物中IL-4Rα链对IL-4的结合起主导作用,因此很多科学研究和报道中常用IL-4Rα替代IL-4R。IL-4R在人B细胞、肥大细胞、嗜酸性粒细胞、嗜碱性粒细胞、巨噬细胞/单核细胞、DC细胞、纤维细胞、气道上皮和平滑肌等多种细胞上都有表达。IL-4Rα可以与其他亚基形成两类受体复合物,在造血干细胞中主要表达由IL-4Rα和γc组成的I型受体。在非造血干细胞中IL-4主要通过IL-4Rα和IL-13Rα1组成的II型受体发挥作用。II型受体是IL-4和IL-13的共同受体,IL-13与IL-13Rα1结合发挥功能。I型受体和II型受体都通过Jak/STAT通路转导信号,IL-4Rα、γc和IL-13Rα1分别与Jak1、Jak3和Tyk2结合激活下游通路,IL-4和IL-13还可以通过胰岛素受体底物家族(IRS)转导信号,最终激活核内的PI3-K、NF-κB。阻断IL-4R既可以抑制IL-4也可以抑制IL-13的生物学功能。
多项研究表明IL-4和IL-13与TH2免疫应答相关的疾病有关。特应性皮炎(AD),又称异位性皮炎或遗传过敏性皮炎,是皮肤科常见疾病,多见于儿童和青少年,常与某些遗传过敏性疾病如过敏性鼻炎、哮喘等并发。研究发现AD患者的TH2因子IL-4、IL-5、IL-10和IL-13水平上升,IgE水平升高,此外还发现,TH2因子与AD疾病进程相关,过表达IL-4、IL-13等TH2因子的小鼠表现出皮肤保护缺陷和类似AD病症[14][15]。AD患者IL-4和IL-13水平升高阻碍了表皮分化和抗菌肽的产生。IL-4缺陷小鼠降低皮肤过敏性炎症的发生。这些研究表明阻断IL-4R可能对治疗AD有效。国外已经有抗IL-4R的单抗上市,对AD表现出良好的治疗效果。
IL-13和IL-4在哮喘中也发挥重要作用。哮喘是一种常见的肺部炎症疾病,以气道高反应性(AHR)、粘液分泌过多、纤维化和IgE水平升高为特征。非特异性刺激如冷空气等常常 导致气道高反应性加剧,AHR和粘液分泌过多导致气道阻碍这是哮喘致死的主要原因。TH2因子在哮喘疾病进程中发挥重要作用,哮喘患者支气管和肺泡灌洗液过表达IL-4和IL-13。尽管IL-13和IL-4具有某些功能相似性,但是一些研究表明IL-13在哮喘的疾病进展中发挥了比其他Th2细胞因子更为重要的作用。IL-13可以促进杯状细胞的分化和纤维化。给未经过过敏原刺激的小鼠气道注射重组IL-13会导致气道炎症,粘液分泌过多和气道高反应性,注射可溶性的IL13Rα2可以阻止小鼠AHR、粘液分泌过多和肺部炎症的发生。在哮喘模型中注射IL-4Rα抗体可以降低AHR和肺泡灌洗液中的嗜酸性粒细胞。研究表明阻断IL-4Rα可能对治疗哮喘有效。
目前各国已有多家制药公司正在研发针对IL-4R的单克隆抗体,相关专利申请如WO2010053751、WO2001092340、WO2008054606、WO2014031610、WO2020038454等。
糖皮质激素也是治疗过敏性疾病、炎症等较为有效的药物。作为代表性的糖皮质激素,已知皮质醇、皮质酮等在生物体内制成的糖皮质激素以及地塞米松、泼尼松、泼尼松龙、布地奈德等合成糖皮质激素。这些糖皮质激素由于具有类固醇结构,因此总称为类固醇类,应用在各种疾病的治疗中。但是,这些类固醇类由于其使用,有时会表现出类固醇消化性溃疡、类固醇紫斑、类固醇胰炎、类固醇糖尿病、类固醇白内障、类固醇青光眼等副作用。
抗体药物偶联物(antibody drug conjugate,ADC),是指单克隆抗体或者抗体片段通过稳定的化学接头化合物与具有生物活性的药物相连。临床前和临床开发中的大多数ADC都用于肿瘤适应症,其中细胞毒性有效载荷靶向表达抗原的癌细胞。但是,通过ADC介导的生物活性小分子的传递来调节病原性细胞活性对于非肿瘤学适应症也是有吸引力的,从而导致了该技术的广泛应用。
现有技术已经公开了一些糖皮质激素的药物偶联物,例如WO2017210471,WO2019106609、WO2019136487等。

2.2小鼠给药操作
将动物随机分为正常对照动物和造模动物。于Day 0,7和14分别腹腔注射100μL含200μg OVA(Sigma,A5503)的PBS溶液,并使用等体积的氢氧化铝作为佐剂对小鼠进行致敏。于Day 21-27,小鼠每天吸入一次3%OVA的雾化溶液,每次持续35min。于Day 21开始,吸入OVA雾化溶液前半小时,小鼠接受气管内雾化给药。具体给药方案见表7。
在Day 28,小鼠安乐死后,将小鼠颈部肌肉进行钝性分离,暴露出气管,将气管横向开口,缓慢插入灌洗针,将预先抽装好的4℃预冷生理盐水缓慢推入肺组织进行灌洗,并收集肺泡灌洗液。一共灌洗3次,前两次分别用300μL生理盐水灌洗,第3次用400μL灌洗。1,000rpm,4℃离心10min,细胞沉淀用350μL预冷生理盐水重悬后,用全自动血液分析仪进行白细胞与分型细胞计数。
