Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of PEG modification in the chemical modification method is that since PEG itself is a polymer, it is difficult to obtain a product with a precise modification site and a unique chemical structure of the product
In addition, the molecular weight of PEG is large, and the biological activity of the modified drug is greatly reduced.

Embodiment 1

[0038] The synthetic method of the thymosin α1 of embodiment 1 chemical modification

[0039] Include the following steps:

[0040] (1) Weigh 200 mg of Fmoc-protected asparagine king resin (Fmoc-Asn(Trt)-WangResin 0.12 mmol / g) into a manual solid-phase peptide synthesizer, add DCM (dichloromethane) to swell for 30 minutes. Using Fmoc-protected amino acid raw materials, benzotriazole-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU) and diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) as peptide condensation Mixture, the equivalent ratio of resin and each protected amino acid and polypeptide condensing agent is tyrosine king resin: amino acid: HBTU: DIEA=1: 3: 3: 6, according to the standard Fmoc strategy synthesis Fmoc protects the king loaded with thymosin α1 Resin (Compound 1).

[0041] (2) After removing the terminal amino Fmoc protecting group with 2 ml of piperidine deprotecting agent (piperidine: DMF = 20:80 (v / v), dissolve 46 mg of myristic acid (0.2 mmol) in 2 ml Dimethylformamid...

Abstract

The invention discloses a chemically modified thymulin alpha 1 and a synthetic method thereof. The structure of the chemically modified thymulin alpha 1 is shown as follows: A-Ser-Asp-Ala-Ala-Val-Asp-Thr-Ser-Ser-Glu-IIe-Thr-Thr-Lys-Asp-Leu-Lys-Glu-Lys-Lys-Glu-Val-Val-Glu-Glu-Ala-Glu-Asn-OH or Ac-Ser-Asp-Ala-Ala-Val-Asp-Thr-Ser-Ser-Glu-IIe-Thr-Thr-Lys(A)-Asp-Leu-Lys-Glu-Lys-Lys-Glu-Val-Val-Glu-Glu-Ala-Glu-Asn-OH. The A is an aliphatic acid bonding in affinity with human serum albumin, or is a maleimide derivative coupled with free sulfydryl of human serum albumin. The chemically modified thymulin alpha 1 has characteristics of precision modification sites, a definite chemical structure and a simple and concise synthetic process. The chemically modified thymulin alpha 1 after being injected intravenously bonds immediately with the serum albumin of the human body and adopts the serum albumin of the human body as a controlled-release vector, thus prolonging the half-life period largely, and significantly prolonging the time of duration of the effective medicine concentration. The bioavailability is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of synthesis of biochemical materials, and more specifically, the invention relates to a chemically modified thymosin α1 and a synthesis method thereof. Background technique [0002] Thymosin α1 is a chemically synthesized polypeptide drug with higher biological activity than animal-derived thymosin. Thymosin α1 is widely used as an immune enhancer in the immunotherapy of severe infection, hepatitis and tumor. [0003] Pharmacokinetic studies show that thymosin α1 is quickly degraded by protease and aminopeptidase in human plasma, with a half-life of about 1.65 hours. The current clinical preparation is thymosin α1 freeze-dried powder for injection, so the half-life is very short, it is easily degraded by enzymes in plasma and loses biological activity, and the bioavailability is very low. Repeated and long-term injections are required for clinical use. And other defects are the main problem of thymosin α1 products ...
