Abstract
Description
Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a bioactive conjugate comprising a novel biotin moiety, a fatty acid moiety, or a combination thereof, and more specifically, to a bioactive conjugate comprising a biotin moiety, a fatty acid moiety, or a combination thereof having excellent oral absorption rate in the body and excellent pharmacokinetics, and more specifically, to a bioactive conjugate comprising a biotin moiety and a fatty acid moiety. Background Technology
[0003] For a drug to function effectively, high bioavailability must be ensured. Bioavailability refers to the extent to which a drug is utilized at the target site after administration, and this level varies depending on the method of administration and the target environment. Drugs can be lost or degraded during the process of delivery from the site of administration to the target, and this varies depending on the method of administration.
[0004] Generally, drug delivery for therapeutic agents containing proteins, polypeptides, etc., is divided into parenteral and oral administration methods. Parenteral administration methods include intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, subcutaneous injection, and sublingual administration, while oral administration refers to the ingestion of drugs by mouth. Most therapeutic agents, such as proteins and polypeptides, are administered via parenteral methods considering bioavailability, target environment, and delivery process, and parenteral administration is known to produce direct and rapid effects. However, parenteral administration can cause patient pain or discomfort, and side effects such as injection infection or air embolism may occur depending on the route. In contrast, oral administration has the advantage of being convenient and providing sustained effects because it involves direct administration through the mouth. Accordingly, many pharmaceutical companies have continued to attempt to administer therapeutic agents via oral methods; however, oral administration presents a problem in that it requires resistance to acidic environments and enzymatic degradation as the drug passes through the digestive system. In particular, proteins and peptides are known to have a low bioavailability of about 0.1% when administered orally.
[0005] To address these issues associated with oral administration, attempts are being made to enhance drug delivery by manufacturing separate formulations using surfactants and absorption enhancers, or by methods such as miniaturizing drug particles and controlling the frequency of administration. In this regard, major pharmaceutical companies are developing oral insulin and oral GLP-1 analogs, and various other research and development efforts are underway for the oral administration of products such as oral interferon alpha. However, peptide and protein drugs are difficult to administer orally, and while various attempts are being made to resolve this, no definitive solution has been found to date. The problem to be solved
[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a bioactive conjugate comprising a biotin moiety, a fatty acid moiety, or a combination thereof, which exhibits excellent oral absorption in the body and excellent pharmacokinetic effects. More specifically, the invention provides a bioactive conjugate comprising a biotin moiety and a fatty acid moiety. means of solving the problem

[0330] # reactants coupling reagent 1 Fmoc-Lys (Biotin)-OH (1.5 eq ) HBTU (1.42 eq) and DIEA (3.0 eq) 2 Fmoc-Lys (Biotin)-OH (2.0 eq ) HBTU (1.9 eq) and DIEA (4.0 eq ) 3 3-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl) propanoic acid (3.0 eq ) DIC (3.0 eq) and HOBt (6.0 eq) 4 2,2-dimethyl-4-oxo-3,7,10,13,16,19,22-heptaoxapentacosan-25-oic acid (2.0 eq ) HATU (1.9 eq) and DIEA (4.0 eq) 5 Fmoc-21-amino-4,7,10,13,16,19-hexaoxaheneicosanoic acid (2.0 eq ) HATU (1.9 eq) and DIEA (4.0 eq)
[0331] An exemplary protocol for the peptide synthesis process using SPPS includes the following: 1) Add DMF to a container containing link-amide MBHA resin and expand for 2 hours (sub: 0.68 mmol / g, 1.0 mmol, 1.47 g or 5 mmol, 7.35 g, sub: 0.68 mmol / g). 2) Add 20% piperidine / DMF and mix for 30 minutes. 3) Remove the solvent from steps 1) and 2), then wash with DMF (30 seconds x 5 times). 4) Add a reactant (one of reactants #1 to #5) and mix for 30 seconds, then add the coupling reagent corresponding to the reactant (one of coupling reagents #1 to #5) and perform nitrogen bubbling for 1 hour. 5) Add 20% piperidine / DMF and mix for 30 minutes.
[0332] The exemplary protocols of 1) to 5) above allow for repeated synthesis using the combination of reactants and coupling reagents of #1 to #5 one or more times. To remove Fmoc, a 20% piperidine / DMF solution was treated for 30 minutes.

[0390] The reaction solvent was a DMSO solution to which 0.3% triethylamine (TEA, Sigma) was added, and the polypeptide of Table 6 and the biotin moiety of Tables 3 and 4 were reacted in a molar ratio of 1:X at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Subsequently, a mixture was prepared by adding the fatty acid moiety of Table 5 to the polypeptide-biotin moiety mixture in a molar ratio of 1:Y, and the mixture was reacted at room temperature for at least 90 minutes. The reaction was stopped by adding a 1% trifluoroacetic acid solution in a volume equal to the volume of the mixture.
[0391] [Separation, Purification, and Verification]
[0392] The above reaction products were separated and purified using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. A SUPERSIL ODS-1 column (10x250 mm, 5 μm, LB Science, South Korea) was used, and the mobile phase conditions were linearly varied using 30-50% solvent B (acetonitrile with 0.1% TFA) and solvent A (distilled water with 0.1% TFA) while maintaining a flow rate of 4.7 mL / min. Peaks detected between 10 and 20 minutes were collected by monitoring at 280 nm using a UV absorbance spectrometer. The collected peaks were concentrated and purified using an ultracentrifugal filter with an appropriate molecular weight cutoff after volatilizing the organic solvent and TFA under vacuum. The purity of the purified material was confirmed by HPLC analysis. Analysis was performed using a Gemini C18 column (4.6 x 250 mm, 5 μm; Phenomenex, CA, USA) at a constant temperature near room temperature. The analysis was carried out by the gradient elution method at a flow rate of 1 mL / min using a mobile phase consisting of a trifluoroacetic acid solution:acetonitrile mixture (the mixing ratio was varied). UV absorbance was observed at 280 nm.
[0393] [Check Molecular Weight]
[0394] The molecular weight of the above reaction product was measured.
[0395] Molecular weight was confirmed using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. As the matrix solution, a solution of CHCA (α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid) saturated in 50% acetonitrile containing 0.1% TFA was used. Mass spectra were analyzed in linear and positive modes, and the molecular weight was determined at a final substance concentration of 0.1 mg / mL. Through this, it was confirmed that the molecular weights of the isolated substances matched the theoretical molecular weights.
[0397] <Example: Polypeptide combined with a biotin moiety, a fatty acid moiety, or a combination thereof>
[0398] The biotin moiety, fatty acid moiety, and polypeptide used the materials described above, and the method of binding the biotin moiety, fatty acid moiety, or a combination thereof with the polypeptide was performed by a method known in the art or by the method of the above example.
[0399] Polypeptides to which a biotin moiety, a fatty acid moiety, or a combination thereof is combined are shown in Table 7 below. (Here, molecular weight refers to the molecular weight measured by molecular weight measurement or the theoretical molecular weight.)

[0499] The reaction product of the above conjugate 66 was separated and purified by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. A Gemini C18 column (10 x 250 mm, 5 μm; Phonomenex, CA, USA) was used, and the mobile phase conditions were linearly varied from 35–45% using solvent A (distilled water with 0.1% TFA) and solvent B (acetonitrile with 0.1% TFA) while maintaining a flow rate of 4.7 ml / min. The peak detected between 13 and 14 minutes was collected by monitoring at 280 nm using a UV absorbance spectrometer. The collected peak was concentrated and purified using an ultracentrifugal filter with an appropriate molecular weight cutoff after volatilizing the organic solvent and TFA under vacuum. The purity of the purified material was confirmed by HPLC analysis. Analysis was performed using a Gemini C18 column (4.6 x 250 mm, 5 μm; Phenomenex, CA, USA) at a constant temperature (35℃). The analysis was carried out by the gradient elution method at a flow rate of 1 mL / min using a mobile phase consisting of a trifluoroacetic acid solution:acetonitrile mixture (mixing ratio adjusted from 70:30 to 40:60 after 20 minutes). UV absorbance was observed at 280 nm.
[0500] As a result of the measurement, the purified chromatogram of conjugate 66 is shown in Fig. 13. In addition, as a result of analysis with a UV detector, no peaks other than the polypeptide bound to the biotin moiety and fatty acid moiety were observed, and when the area of the peaks generated from each chromatogram was expressed as a percentage, it was confirmed that the purity of conjugate 66 was 95% or higher.
[0502] 3) Check molecular weight
[0503] The molecular weight of the final substance obtained from the above conjugate 66 was measured.
[0504] The molecular weight was determined by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. As the matrix solution, a solution of CHCA (α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid) saturated in 50% acetonitrile containing 0.1% TFA was used. Mass spectra were analyzed in linear and positive modes, and the molecular weight was determined at a final substance concentration of 0.1 mg / mL. The analysis results are shown in Table 15.
