Problems solved by technology

Generally speaking, high molecular weight (≥20KD) PEG modification is more conducive to prolonging the in vivo half-life of polypeptide or protein drugs, but usually only one active end group of each PEG molecule is coupled to the precursor active molecule, and the drug loading capacity of the molecule is limited. Moreover, the binding effect between the polypeptide after polymer modification and the receptor is usually weakened, which affects the efficacy of the drug. Therefore, the activity intensity of the precursor polypeptide is an important factor in determining the druggability of the final modified product.

Embodiment 1

[0101] Example 1 Preparation of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Analogue Precursor Polypeptide

[0102] The precursor polypeptide shown in general formula I is prepared by the following steps

[0103] 1) Synthesis: Using the Fmoc strategy, use the CS 336 peptide synthesizer (CS Bio) to synthesize step by step according to the following steps:

[0104] a) In the presence of an activator system, the Fmoc-amino acid-resin is obtained by coupling the resin solid phase carrier and the Fmoc-protected C-terminal amino acid; wherein, the synthesis of the C-terminal amidated polypeptide uses an amino resin, such as Rink Amide AM, Rink Amide , Rink MBHA et al.

[0105] b) Extension of the peptide chain: Connect amino acids in accordance with the amino acid sequence of the peptide sequence by solid-phase synthesis to obtain a peptide-resin conjugate with N-terminal and side chain protection; take the following protection measures for amino acids with side chains: use Boc for tryptophan , OtB...

Abstract

The present invention provides a precursor polypeptide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, wherein the precursor polypeptide has an amino acid sequence represented by the following general formula I HX1X2GTFTSDVSSYLEEX3AAX4EFIX5WLVKX6X7X8X9, and X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, X8 and X9 represent arbitrary amino acids. The present invention further provides a glucagon-like peptide-1 analog or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. According to the present invention, the glucagon-like peptide-1 analog is obtained by conjugating a polypeptide optimized based on an endogenous GLP-1 (7-36/37) sequence and polyethylene glycol having a specific structure, has strong blood glucose lowering activity so as to reduce the dosage, and has significantly-prolonged half-life in vivo so as to be expected to improve clinical compliance; and the precursor polypeptide and the endogenous GLP-1 (7-36/37) are highly homologous in the sequence so as to reduce the immunogenicity, such that the precursor polypeptide has good potential in the drug development application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and in particular relates to a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue and its medical application. Background technique [0002] Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a gut-derived hormone synthesized primarily in L cells of the terminal empty field, ileum, and colon, and released into circulation in response to a meal. GLP-1 (7-36, 7-37) is the main active form of GLP-1 in the systemic circulation and controls blood glucose through complex mechanisms, including secretion of insulin and glucagon, gastric emptying, and regulation of peripheral insulin. The hypoglycemic effect of GLP-1 (7-36, 7-37) is glucose-dependent, can avoid hypoglycemia, and can inhibit the apoptosis of islet β-cells, promote the proliferation of islet β-cells, and can reverse the disease develop. However, the plasma half-life of natural GLP-1 is only 1-2 minutes, and its metabolic instability limits its application as a drug. [...
