Technical Field
[0001] Human fibroblast growth factor 23 (hFGF23) antagonists and compositions containing such compounds are used in medicine. [Sequence lists are incorporated by reference] [ ]
[0002] This application is submitted electronically as a sequence list. The entire contents of the sequence list are hereby incorporated by reference. Prior Technology
[0003] Human fibroblast growth factor 23 (hFGF23) is a 251-amino acid protein that exerts its effects by binding to its receptor complex, primarily composed of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 isoform c (FGFR1c) and alpha-klotho. In the kidneys, hFGF23 activates FGFR1c-alpha-klotho, inhibiting the sodium phosphate cotransporter in the proximal tubule, leading to reduced phosphate reabsorption, increased urinary phosphate excretion, and decreased blood phosphate concentration. Therefore, inhibition of hFGF23 activity can be used to treat certain hypophosphatemia. X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (hereinafter referred to as XLH) is one such disease in which blood hFGF23 concentrations are elevated due to a loss-of-function mutation in the PHEX (phosphate-regulated X-linked endopeptidase homolog) gene. Until recently, the only treatment for chronic hypophosphatemia in XLH was high-dose oral phosphate and active vitamin D supplementation (known as conventional therapy). However, conventional therapy is cumbersome, poorly tolerated, has limited efficacy, and is associated with dangerous adverse events. In 2018, the monoclonal IgG1 anti-hFGF23 antibody burosumab was approved for the treatment of XLH. Burosumab inhibits hFGF23, increasing 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels and renal reabsorption of phosphate, thereby increasing blood phosphate levels in XLH patients (WO2008 / 099969).
[0004] Although bromozumab can increase blood phosphate levels, many patients still experience hypophosphatemia during treatment, and the treatment burden of bromozumab is significant. In pediatric patients treated with bromozumab, many fail to achieve age-appropriate reference phosphate concentrations. In adults taking bromozumab, phosphate levels are unstable during treatment, except for a small group who do not reach normal ranges, and therefore many patients experience hypophosphatemia later in the dosing interval. The high doses and large injection volumes required for bromozumab treatment make it incompatible with self-administered devices such as injectable pens. In most cases, bromozumab is administered by healthcare professionals, placing a heavy burden on both patients and caregivers. Furthermore, the injection itself is cumbersome and painful due to the large volume and the process of loading the drug from a vial into a syringe. Each dose requires up to 3 ml for adults and typically 1-2 ml for children. Therefore, modified hFGF23 antagonist compounds are needed in this technology. Summary of the Invention

SEQ ID NO:2 represents the amino acid residue sequence of the binding motif of the present invention, which includes positions with fixed residues or non-fixed residues. SEQ ID NO:3 represents the amino acid residue sequence of the hFGF23 antagonistic polypeptide of the present invention, which includes positions with fixed residues or non-fixed residues.

SEQ ID NO:6 represents the amino acid residue sequence of the hFGF23 variant used in Example 3 of this article. SEQ ID NO:7 represents the amino acid residue sequence of the heavy chain of brosuumab. SEQ ID NO:8 represents the amino acid residue sequence of the light chain of brosuumab. SEQ ID NO:9 represents the amino acid residue sequence of the peptide elongator. SEQ ID NO:10 represents the amino acid residue sequence of the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide used in Example 8 of this article. SEQ ID NO:11-52 represents the amino acid residue sequence of the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide binding motif (BM). SEQ ID NO:53-280 represents the amino acid residue sequence of the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide.
[0020] This invention relates to compounds capable of binding to and antagonizing the biological activity of human FGF23 (hFGF23). hFGF23 (represented herein by SEQ ID NO:1) is involved in phosphate and calcium metabolism in the body. Inhibition of hFGF23 activity can be used to treat certain hypophosphatemia, such as X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), in which the concentration of hFGF23 in the blood is elevated due to a loss-of-function mutation in the PHEX (phosphate-regulated X-linked endopeptidase homolog) gene. Other diseases that the compounds of this invention can prevent or treat include diseases characterized by excessive hFGF23 activity, such as tumor-induced osteomalacia, autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR), fibrous dysplasia, and McCune-Albright syndrome.
[0021] The hFGF23 antagonistic peptide disclosed herein comprises a triple-helical bundled protein domain derived from the Z domain of Staphylococcus aureus protein A. A large library was constructed by randomly grouping the amino acids on two of the three helices, and strong binders were identified. Therefore, the compounds of this invention are designed to bind to hFGF23 to efficiently antagonize hFGF23-induced signaling activity and achieve effective treatment of hypophosphatemia, while being compatible with low-burden delivery devices suitable for self- or caregiver home administration. In one embodiment, the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide disclosed herein specifically binds to hFGF23 to reduce hFGF23-induced signaling mediated by FGFR1c as a receptor and α-croxoprotein (KL) as a co-receptor, thereby, for example, increasing blood phosphate levels.
[0022] The compounds disclosed herein preferably have a molecular weight between 5 kDa and 10 kDa, such as 7 kDa and 8 kDa, which is significantly smaller than that of an antibody called bromosumab (approximately 147 kDa); and are expected to have a therapeutically suitable blood half-life in vivo to achieve an appropriate dosing frequency, thereby effectively reducing hFGF23-induced signaling. The presence of the extended moiety serves to increase the blood half-life of the compounds disclosed herein.
[0023] Not being bound by theory means that when the efficacy (nemerol / kg) is close to or equivalent to brososumab, a lower dose (mg / kg) and / or a lower injection volume can be used, thus making it compatible with self-administering devices such as injectable pens. Additionally, phosphate upregulation is expected to improve with smaller peak / trough variations.
[0024] Therefore, the molecular weight of the compound is expected to allow for high concentrations in pharmaceutical formulations. The pharmacokinetic properties of the compound, as disclosed herein, enable a favorable drug exposure profile, which is expected to minimize dosing-to-dosing changes in phosphate levels, thereby reducing hypophosphatemia and improving disease outcomes. Furthermore, the compound disclosed herein is expected to be significantly more effective than bromozumab ( / mg) in patients in need, such as those with XLH. This increased efficacy should allow for a greater phosphate elevation than bromozumab can achieve, thereby improving the rate of phosphate normalization in these patients.
[0025] In one embodiment, the compounds of the present invention are characterized by reference to their target binding sites, namely, amino acid residues on hFGF23, which constitute the key antigenic determinant residues or the complete set of antigenic determinant residues of the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide. Therefore, in some embodiments, the present invention relates to an hFGF23 antagonistic peptide capable of binding to an antigenic determinant on hFGF23 according to SEQ ID NO:1, the antigenic determinant comprising amino acid residues selected from the group consisting of: a) R76, T86, R91, and R114; b) M74, R76, T86, R91, F108, P110, R114, L166, I167 and N170; c) R76, T86, R91, Y93, Y107, R114, F169, and N170; d) W36, R76, T86, R91, Y107, R114, I167, F169 and N170; and e) R76, T86, R91, R114, L166, and F169; As measured at 3.5 Å.

[0027] In one embodiment, the compounds of the present invention are characterized by reference to their binding motif (BM). In one such embodiment, the compounds may be described as hFGF23 antagonistic peptides capable of binding hFGF23 according to SEQ ID NO:1, the antagonistic peptides comprising a binding motif (BM) composed of an amino acid residue sequence selected from the following. i) According to SEQ ID NO:2, XaXbXcAWXdEIXeXfXgPXhLXiDXjQWPAFIEXkLH Among them, each independently, Xa is either F or Y; Xb is F, I, L, or V; Xc is either A or Q; Xd can be A, F, H, Y, or W; Xe is either F or Y; Xf is N, Q, or T; Xg is either A or L; Xh can be C, H, N, Q, W, or Y; Xi can be D, N, Q, S, or T; Xj is A, D, E, G, H, L, N, Q, S, T or Y; Xk can be A, Q, or S; and ii) The amino acid residue sequence has at least 93% similarity to the sequence defined in i).

[0030] In one state, the compounds of the invention are characterized by reference to their binding motif (BM) and amino acid residues side-attached at the N-terminus and C-terminus (BM), and can therefore be described as hFGF23 antagonistic peptides comprising the binding motif (BM) as described above, wherein such peptides comprise amino acid residue sequences selected from the following a) According to SEQ ID NO:3, X1X2X3X4X5X6X7X8-(BM)-X36X37PSQX41X42X43LLX46EARX50LX52X53X54QX56X57X58, Wherein (BM) consists of an amino acid residue sequence as defined in (i) above, Among them, each independently, X1 can be G, I, L, N, or V; X2 is D, E, or Q; X3 is D, E, G, N, or Q; X4 can be D, E, H, N, R, or T; X5 can be E, I, L, T, or V; X6 can be F, W, or Y; X7 is A, G, H, I, L, N, P, Q, R, T or V; X8 can be A, L, or E; X36 can be A, D, or E; X37 is either D or E; X41 can be A, R, or W; X42 represents A, D, or T; X43 is E, N, Q, or S; X46 is A, E, or K; X50 is either Q or R; X52 is either N or E; X53 is D, E, K, or T; X54 is either A or I; X56 is either A or C; X57 is either K or P; X58 is C, K, or E; and b) has an amino acid residue sequence that is at least 93% identical to the sequence defined in a).
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, they are independent of each other. X1 can be G, I, L, or V; X2 is either D or E; X3 is either D or E; X4 is either D or E; X5 is E; X6 is F; X7 is either I or Q; X8 is either A or L; Xa is Y; Xb is V; Xc is Q; Xd is Y; Xe is either F or Y; Xf is N or Q; Xg is L; Xh is N; Xi is N or T; Xj can be A, N, or Q; Xk is S; X36 is either D or E; X37 is either D or E; X41 is W; X42 is A; X43 is N; X46 is either A or E; X50 is either Q or R; X52 is N; X53 is E; X54 is A; X56 is A; X57 is P; X58 is K.
[0032] As those skilled in the art will understand, minor alterations can be made to the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide without significantly affecting its function. Therefore, this invention covers modified variants of polypeptides that retain their inhibitory characteristics. In this manner, this invention covers an hFGF23 antagonistic polypeptide whose amino acid sequence has 93% or greater similarity to the hFGF23 antagonistic polypeptide or (BM) as defined above, such as 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% or greater similarity. For example, an amino acid residue belonging to a functional group of amino acid residues (e.g., hydrophobic, hydrophilic, polar, etc.) can be exchanged for another amino acid residue from the same functional group.
[0033] In some embodiments, the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide of the present invention may comprise 50 to 70 amino acid residues. In a preferred embodiment, the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide may comprise 56 to 60 amino acid residues. In a more preferred embodiment, the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide comprises 58 amino acid residues.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide includes an elongation portion. An hFGF23 antagonistic peptide containing an elongator or elongation portion may also be referred to as an "hFGF23 antagonistic peptide derivative," the term "derivative" indicating the presence of an elongator or elongation portion.
[0035] Preferred compounds of the present invention are Chem. 89, Chem. 106, Chem. 107, Chem. 111, Chem. 197, Chem. 201, Chem. 204, Chem. 206, Chem. 207 and Chem. 208 (see Table 4 below). Non-limiting examples are shown below.
[0036] Chem. 204 is expressed by the following formula:
[0037] Chem. 206 is expressed by the following formula:
[0038] Chem. 207 is expressed by the following formula:
[0039] Chem. 208 is expressed by the following formula:
[0040] In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation comprising the hFGF23 antagonistic polypeptide or an hFGF23 antagonistic polypeptide derivative of the present invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
[0041] In one embodiment, the present invention relates to the medical use of hFGF23 antagonistic peptides, hFGF23 antagonistic peptide derivatives, and pharmaceutical formulations comprising hFGF23 antagonistic peptides or derivatives thereof. Such medical uses include the use for treating hypophosphatemia, such as, but not limited to, X-linked hypophosphatemia rickets (XLH).
[0042] In other embodiments, the present invention relates to a kit comprising an hFGF23 antagonistic polypeptide or a polypeptide derivative or the pharmaceutical composition thereof; Polynucleotides encoding the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide or peptide derivative, and expression vectors encoding such polynucleotides; Host cells that produce the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide or its derivative; And methods for producing the polypeptide or its derivatives, the methods comprising: a) Culturing host cells according to the aforementioned technical solution under conditions that allow for the expression of the polypeptide encoded by the expression vector; b) Isolating the polypeptide; and c) Linking the extended portion to the isolated polypeptide as needed.
[0043] The term "one" or "a" is intended to mean "one or more".
[0044] The term "about" is used herein to mean approximately, roughly, roughly, or about. When the term "about" is used in conjunction with a numerical range, it modifies the range by extending the boundaries above and below the stated value. Generally, the term "about" can modify a numerical value by increasing or decreasing (above or below) the value by 10%.
[0045] When describing steps or elements, the term "comprise" and its variations, such as "comprises" and "comprising," are intended to mean, as appropriate and without excluding, the addition of other steps or elements.
[0046] As used throughout, "amino acid" or "amino acid residue" includes both typical amino acids (which are encoded in genes) and non-natural amino acids. Non-limiting examples of non-natural amino acids include Aib (α-aminoisobutyric acid), deaminohistidine (also known as 3-(imidazol-4-yl)propionic acid, abbreviated as Imp (imidazolyl)), and d-isomers of typical amino acids. Unless otherwise stated, all amino acid residues within a polypeptide for which optical isomers are not stated should be understood herein to mean L-isomers.
[0047] The term "binding affinity" is used in this paper as a measure of the non-covalent interaction between two molecules, such as a peptide and an antigen. The term "binding affinity" is used to describe monovalent interactions.
[0048] The binding affinity between two molecules, such as the hFGF23 binder (e.g., the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide disclosed herein) and hFGF23, arising from monovalent interactions, can be quantified by measuring the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). KD can be determined by measuring the complex formation and dissociation kinetics, for example, by surface plasma resonance (SPR) methods.
[0049] The rate constants corresponding to association and dissociation of monovalent complexes are called the association rate constant ka (or kon) and the dissociation rate constant kd (or koff), respectively. KD is related to ka and kd through the equation KD = kd / ka. According to the above definition, the binding affinity associated with different molecular interactions can be compared by comparing the KD values of individual conjugate / antigen complexes, such as comparing the binding affinity of different conjugates for a specified antigen (such as the interaction between the compound disclosed in this paper and hFGF23).
[0050] The KD of the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide to its target can be less than 100 µM, such as less than 10 µM, such as less than 9 µM, such as less than 8 µM, such as less than 7 µM, such as less than 6 µM, such as less than 5 µM, such as less than 4 µM, such as less than 3 µM, such as less than 2 µM, such as less than 1 µM, such as less than 0.9 µM, such as less than 0.8 µM, such as less than 0.7 µM, such as less than 0.6 µM, such as less than 0.5 µM, such as less than 0.4 µM, such as less than 0.3 µM, such as less than 0.2 µM, such as less than 0.1 µM, such as less than 10 nM, such as less than 2 nM, such as less than 1 nM. More preferably, the KD is less than 2 nM.
[0051] As used herein, the term "binding motif" (BM) refers to the hFGF23 binding region of an hFGF23 antagonistic polypeptide. The BM contains key binding residues that bind tightly to hFGF23 and "forms part of a triple-helical bundle domain." For example, the BM may consist of two α-helices with interconnecting loops within the triple-helical bundle domain.
[0052] In some embodiments, (BM) comprises 25 to 28 amino acid residues. In a preferred embodiment, (BM) comprises 27 amino acid residues.
[0053] In some embodiments, the (BM) sequence corresponds to a sequence selected from the group consisting of positions 9 to 35 (inclusive) of the following: SEQ ID NO: 11-52, or a sequence that is 90% identical to it, such as a sequence that is 91, 92, 93% or greater identical to it, such as a sequence that is 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 or 99% identical to the (BM).
[0054] In some embodiments, (BM) is characterized by containing fixed or non-fixed (variable) amino acid residues. Non-fixed amino acid residues are denoted herein as Xx, where the subscript letters identify their positions in (BM).
[0055] (BM) has non-(BM) amino acid residues attached to its N-terminus and C-terminus, and (BM) and non-(BM) residues are combined to form hFGF23 antagonistic peptides.
[0056] "Cross-species reactive" peptides bind with similar affinity to FGF23 in all designated species (e.g., humans, dogs, pigs, and cynomolgus monkeys), specifically within a factor of 100, such as within a factor of 50, a factor of 20, or a factor of 10. A KD range with a given coefficient X means that the highest affinity for the specifically listed species is no more than X times higher than the lowest affinity for different listed species. Those skilled in this art will understand that any method used to measure affinity can be used to verify that cross-species reactive peptides bind to target antigens from all listed species within the specified KD factor range as described herein, provided that the KD measurements for all listed species are performed under the same conditions. Preferably, SPR is used, especially at 25°C, to measure KD values.
[0057] As used herein, the term "antigen determinant" is defined in the context of molecular interactions between an antigen-binding polypeptide (such as the hFGF23 binder, such as the hFGF23 antagonistic polypeptide and its derivatives disclosed herein) and its corresponding antigen. Generally, an "antigen determinant" refers to a region or area on the antigen for binding of the binder, i.e., a region or area in contact with the binder entity. Entity contact can be defined using various criteria for atoms in the binding molecule and the antigen molecule (e.g., a distance cutoff of 4–5 Å, such as 4, 4.5, or 5 Å; or solvent accessibility).
[0058] hFGF23 may contain multiple different antigenic determinants, which may include (but are not limited to) (1) linear peptide antigenic determinants; (2) conformational antigenic determinants, which consist of one or more discontinuous amino acids in the conformation of hFGF23 that are close to each other.
[0059] The antigenic determinants of a specified binder / antigen pair can be described and characterized at different levels of detail using a variety of experimental and computational methods for antigenic determinant localization. Experimental methods include mutagenesis, X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, high-density ion exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), various competitive binding methods, and computational methods such as Alphafold 2; methods known in this technique.
[0060] In the context of defining X-ray derived crystal structures by spatial coordination of the complex between a binding molecule (such as the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide disclosed herein) and its antigen, unless otherwise stated or contradicted by the context, the term antigenic determinant is specifically defined herein as an hFGF23 residue characterized by having a heavy atom (i.e., a non-hydrogen atom) within a distance of 3.5 Å from the heavy atom in the binding molecule.
[0061] Epitopes containing the same group of amino acid residues are called identical (e.g., determined by X-ray structure analysis). Epitopes sharing at least one amino acid residue are called overlapping. Epitopes not sharing amino acid residues are called separate (unique).
[0062] Antigenic determinants can be identified using conventional methods. For example, the approximate location of an antigenic determinant can be determined by assessing the ability of an hFGF23 antagonistic peptide to bind to different fragments or variants of hFGF23. Specific amino acids within hFGF23 that contact the conjugate (antigenic determinant) can also be determined using conventional methods. For instance, the conjugate can be combined with a target molecule, and the resulting complex can be crystallized. The crystalline structure of the complex can be determined and used to identify specific locations of the interaction between the antibody and its target. Antigenic determinant residues common to several different compounds can be considered "key" antigenic determinant residues.
[0063] As used herein, the term "hFGF23 antagonistic peptide" refers to a peptide that can bind to hFGF23 according to SEQ ID NO:1 and can partially or completely block its biological activities, such as hFGF23-induced signal transduction activities, such as hFGF23-induced signal transduction activities of the FGFR1c-α-croxo protein complex. The hFGF23 antagonistic peptide contains a triple-helical bundle protein domain, which is a protein Z variant derived from domain B of Staphylococcus protein A.
[0064] In some embodiments, the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide is characterized by containing fixed or non-fixed amino acid residues. Non-fixed (variable) amino acid residues are designated as Xx herein, where subscript numbers / letters indicate their positions in the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide.
[0065] As used herein, the term "half-life" or "blood half-life" refers to the time required for half of the amount of a substance administered to a patient to be metabolized or eliminated from the patient's blood through normal biological processes.
[0066] The term "identity" as known in this technique refers to the relationship between two or more polypeptide sequences as determined by comparing sequences. In this technique, "identity" also means the degree of sequence relevance between polypeptides as determined by the number of matches between two or more amino acid residue strings. "Identity" measures the percentage of identical matches among two or more sequences having the smaller of the vacancy alignments (if any) resolved by a specific mathematical model or computer program (i.e., an "algorithm"). The identity of related polypeptides can be easily calculated using known methods.
[0067] In this invention, Needleman (Needleman et al., J. Mol. Biol. 1970; 48:443-453) from EMBOSS-6.6.0 was used to determine consistency using parameters 10 and 0.5 (vacancy open = 10, vacancy extended = 0.5), respectively, for vacancy opening and extension. The score of each sequence in the sequence pair was calculated based on the number of matches in the aligned sequence, normalized according to the sequence length, and multiplied by 100.
[0068] The term "pharmaceutical-acceptable excipient" means an excipient suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions that are generally safe and non-toxic, including excipients acceptable for human medical use. Such excipients may be, for example, solid, liquid, or semi-solid.
[0069] As used herein, the term "peptide" includes oligopeptides and refers to a single amino acid chain linked by one or more peptide bonds.
[0070] The "substitution" variant preferably involves replacing one or more amino acids with the same number of amino acids. Substitution can be, but is not limited to, conservative substitution. For example, an amino acid can be substituted with an amino acid having similar biochemical properties; for instance, a basic amino acid can be substituted with another basic amino acid (e.g., lysine replaced with arginine), an acidic amino acid can be substituted with another acidic amino acid (e.g., glutamic acid replaced with aspartate), a neutral amino acid can be substituted with another neutral amino acid (e.g., threonine replaced with serine), a charged amino acid can be substituted with another charged amino acid (e.g., glutamic acid replaced with lysine), and a hydrophilic amino acid... Amino acids can be substituted with another hydrophilic amino acid (e.g., asparagine substituted with glutamine), hydrophobic amino acids can be substituted with another hydrophobic amino acid (e.g., alanine substituted with valine), polar amino acids can be substituted with another polar amino acid (e.g., serine substituted with threonine), aromatic amino acids can be substituted with another aromatic amino acid (e.g., phenylalanine substituted with tryptophan), and aliphatic amino acids can be substituted with another aliphatic amino acid (e.g., leucine substituted with isoleucine). Such substitutions are called "conservative" substitutions.
[0071] This invention covers variants of the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide as disclosed herein, which may include individual binding motifs disclosed herein and substitutions of one, two, or three amino acids in the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide sequence. In some embodiments, the substitutions are conservative substitutions.
[0072] As used herein, the term "treatment" and its variations refer to medical treatment for any human individual in need. The term includes the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a polypeptide as disclosed herein, sufficient to reduce or eliminate at least one symptom of the condition under discussion. However, "treatment" is not necessarily a cure. The timing and purpose of treatment may vary from individual to individual depending on their current health status. Therefore, treatment can be preventative, disease-modifying, palliative, symptomatic, and / or curative. For the purposes of this invention, preventative, disease-modifying, palliative, symptomatic, and / or curative treatments may represent various aspects of this invention.
[0073] As used herein, the term "extended fraction" (PM) refers to a fraction that extends the half-life of a compound to which it is linked in the blood. An extended fraction comprises an "elongator" (P) and, if desired, a "linker" (LP). The term "extended" therefore refers to an extension of half-life, and the elongator or extended fraction is thus used for the purpose of extending the half-life of the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide disclosed herein in the blood. The terms "extended" and "half-life extension" are used interchangeably and generally refer to an extension of the plasma half-life of the compound as disclosed herein.
[0074] After the polypeptide is generated (e.g., by synthesis or recombination), the elongated portion is preferably covalently linked to the side chain of the lysine exposed on the surface or to a cysteine residue in the polypeptide, preferably via an ε-amino group. In this document, the residue constituting the linker for such a link is generally referred to as "R1" (and in the case of more than one elongated portion, as "R2", "R3", etc.).
[0075] Given the disclosures herein, those skilled in this technique will be able to identify other surface-exposed residues suitable for attachment.
[0076] The extension portion may consist of an extension (without a connector ("LP")).
[0077] The extension may include a connector ("LP") and an extension ("P").
[0078] The extension may include one connector and two or more extensions ("P").
[0079] When the linker ("LP") is present, the extended portion is linked to the hFGF23 antagonistic polypeptide backbone via LP. When the linker ("LP") is absent, "P" is directly linked to the polypeptide backbone.

[0137] In a preferred embodiment, the elongators Chem. 1a-1f are linked to the polypeptide backbone using a linker (LP) (referred to as L1 (Chem. 2i) in Table 2 below).
[0138] In a preferred embodiment, the R1 linker is located on the ε-amino group of the polypeptide backbone.
[0139] In one such embodiment, the R1 linker is located on the ε-amino group of the lysine residue at the C-terminus of the polypeptide backbone.
[0140] In another such embodiment, the R1 linker is located on the ε-amino group of the lysine at positions 46, 53, or 57 of the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide.

[0144] The compounds disclosed herein can be generated by solid-phase peptide synthesis as described in the Examples section below. The Fmoc-Lys(Mtt)-OH attachment at the extension site allows for selective removal of the Mtt- group, followed by attachment of the extension site during peptide synthesis. After synthesis, the resin-bound peptide undergoes full-domain deprotection, followed by reverse-phase HPLC purification.
[0145] The compounds disclosed herein can be produced using recombinant nucleic acid technology. Generally, the nucleic acid sequence of the selected wild-type compound disclosed herein is modified to encode the desired protein. Subsequently, this modified sequence is inserted into an expression vector, which is then transformed or transfected into a host cell.
[0146] The nucleic acid constructs encoding compounds as described herein can appropriately have a genomic body, cDNA, or synthetic origin. Amino acid sequence variations are achieved by modifying the genetic code using well-known techniques.
[0147] DNA sequences encoding compounds as disclosed herein are typically inserted into recombinant vectors, which can be any vector readily subjected to recombinant DNA procedures. The choice of vector usually depends on the host cell to which it is to be introduced. Therefore, the vector can be a self-replicating vector, i.e., a vector existing as an extrachromosomal entity whose replication is independent of chromosomal replication, such as a plastid. Alternatively, the vector can be a vector that integrates into the genome when introduced into the host cell and replicates along with the chromosome into which it has been integrated.
[0148] The vector is preferably an expression vector in which the DNA sequence encoding the compound disclosed herein is operatively linked to additional segments required for DNA transcription. The term "operatively linked" means that the segments are arranged so that they work together for their intended purpose, such as initiating transcription at a promoter and proceeding via the DNA sequence encoding the polypeptide until it terminates within a terminator.
[0149] Therefore, the expression vector used to represent the compounds disclosed herein will contain a promoter capable of initiating and guiding the transcription of selected genes or cDNA. The promoter can be any DNA sequence that exhibits transcriptional activity in the selected host cell and can be derived from a gene encoding a protein homologous or heterologous to that of the host cell.
[0150] In addition, the expression vector used to represent the compounds disclosed herein will also include a termination sequence, a sequence recognized by the host cell to terminate transcription. The termination sequence is operatively linked to the 3' end of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide. Any terminator that is functional in a selected host cell may be used in this invention.
[0151] The compounds described in this article can target intracellular expression in the cytosol of host cells or be directed to extracellular expression in growth media via the secretory pathway.
[0152] Intracellular expression is a predefined pathway that requires the DNA sequence to sequentially contain a promoter, a DNA sequence encoding the polypeptide of the compound disclosed herein, and a terminator.
[0153] To guide the compounds disclosed herein into the secretory pathway of host cells, a secretory signal sequence (also known as a signal peptide or pre-sequence) is required to extend the N-terminus of the compound. The DNA sequence encoding the signal peptide is attached to the 5' end of the DNA sequence encoding the compound in the correct reading frame. The signal peptide may be associated with a protein or may originate from a gene encoding another secretory protein.
[0154] Procedures for binding the DNA sequence encoding the compound disclosed herein, the promoter, the terminator, and / or the secretion signal sequence, and inserting them into a suitable vector containing the information required for replication, are well known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, New York, 1989).
[0155] The host cell into which the DNA sequence encoding the compounds disclosed herein is introduced can be any cell capable of expressing the compounds disclosed herein, either intracellularly or extracellularly. If post-translational modification is required, suitable host cells include yeast, fungi, insects, and higher eukaryotic cells such as mammalian cells.
[0156] This extension can be attached to the polypeptide backbone as follows.
[0157] N-methylpyrrolidone (0.25 × peptide solution volume) was added to a solution of the polypeptide backbone (10-40 mg / mL, 0.25 M Na₂CO₃(aq)) with stirring. To obtain selective reaction conditions for the ε-amino group of lysine, the pH was increased by slowly adding aqueous sodium hydroxide until the pH reached 10.5-11.
[0158] The acetylating agent (2–4 molar equivalents, relative to the polypeptide backbone) was dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone and added to the stirred peptide solution over 2–60 minutes, while the pH was continuously adjusted to 10.5–11 by adding aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The final reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature and constant pH until the acetylating agent was depleted (0–4 h). The reaction mixture was neutralized by dropwise addition of acetic acid and purified by reverse-phase HPLC.
[0159] Therefore, the extended portion can be linked to the polypeptide as described above. In other embodiments of the invention, the extended portion can be part of the polypeptide backbone, i.e., a fusion polypeptide dependent on peptidoamine bonds. The fusion polypeptide can be obtained synthetically or by recombination of expression methods known to those skilled in the art.
[0160] The hFGF23 antagonistic peptide derivatives disclosed herein can be prepared into pharmaceutical compositions. In some embodiments, such compositions contain at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
[0161] Excipients can be used for a variety of purposes, such as as carriers, mediators, fillers, binders, lubricants, flow agents, disintegrants, flow control agents, crystallization inhibitors, solubilizers, stabilizers, colorants, flavoring agents, surfactants, emulsifiers, delivery agents, water-soluble aids or combinations thereof, and / or to improve administration and / or absorption of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
[0162] The amounts of various excipients used can vary within the range known in this technique. Applicable techniques and excipients are described, for example, in Remington: the Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 22nd edition, eds. Remington and Allen, Pharmaceutical Press (2013).
[0163] It can be administered to compositions containing the compounds disclosed herein as a preventative therapy and / or, in some embodiments, as an on-demand therapy.

[0187] The hFGF23 antagonistic peptide revealed in this paper is a molecule developed and designed based on the triple-helical bundle domain of the Z domain of Staphylococcus aureus protein A, which binds to the Fc region of immunoglobulin. A large library was constructed by randomly grouping selected amino acids from residues 9 to 35 on the two first helices constituting the Fc binding surface, and strong hFGF23 binders were isolated from it using various methods. Fc binding surface residues from residue 9 to 35 were then randomly grouped, and peptide variants were subsequently selected to replace the Fc binding capacity with hFGF23 binding capacity (Option #1). The binding motif (BM) thus corresponds to residues 9 to 35. After analyzing the results of Option #1, a new library was designed by randomly grouping other residues within the binding motif (BM) to further improve the hFGF23 binding capacity (Option #2). Subsequently, by substituting amino acids inside and outside the binding motif (BM), the peptide variant derived from select #2 was optimized (select #3) according to efficacy, thereby generating the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide disclosed herein. By identifying the position within the peptide backbone, the peptide variants derived from select #1 and select #2 were optimized based on in vivo half-life, in which extended portions could be linked while maintaining hFGF23 binding capacity.
[0188] The hFGF23 antagonistic peptide of the present invention can be functionalized by gene fusion with the protein module of interest or by linking a side chain of a covalent amino acid residue to a functional part (such as a toxin, an imaging agent, and / or one or more extended parts). [Example] [2] [In serum] [-] [reaction] [-] [In the analysis of luciferase reporter genes, regarding] [hFGF23] [Inhibition effect of induced signal transduction] [ ]
[0189] The purpose of this analysis is to demonstrate and characterize the extent to which the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide derivative ("peptide") provides inhibitory effects on hFGF23-induced signaling mediated by FGFR1c as a receptor and α-croxoprotein (KL) as a co-receptor. hFGF23 is known to specifically transmit signals via the MAPK / ERK pathway through this trimeric complex of FGFR1c / KL / hFGF23. hFGF23 treatment of cells induces luciferase expression, ultimately producing a luminescent signal upon the addition of a detection reagent. The compounds of this invention inhibit hFGF23-induced signaling with an IC50 < 1 nM or reduce hFGF23-induced signaling by >50% at 1 nM. Analysis Principles
[0190] To determine the ability of peptide compounds to inhibit signal transduction, a reporter gene analysis was established. We used luciferase under the control of serum response elements (SREs) to measure typical hFGF23-induced signal transduction.
[0191] HEK293 cells were first stably transfected with human KL phenoplasts encoding the zeocin resistance gene for mammalian selection. After generating a single HEK293 / KL cell line from a single pure line in the presence of 50 µg / ml zeocin (Invitrogen #R25001), the cells were stably transfected with a pGL4.33-based reporter plastid [luc2P / SRE / Hygro] (Promega #E1340), which encodes a luciferase under SRE control. The HEK293 / KL / SRE cell line was then obtained from a single pure line named 17-3 under 200 µg / ml hygromycin selection. HEK293 / KL / SRE cells were maintained at 37°C in DMEM-based complete medium (Gibco #31966-021) under standard cell culture conditions. This complete medium was supplemented with 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco #15140-122), 10% FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific #10091148), 50 µg / ml genomic mycoplasma, and 200 µg / ml hygromycin (Invitrogen #10687010).
[0192] To evaluate the inhibitory effect of the peptide compound on hFGF23-induced signaling, HEK293 / KL / SRE cells were seeded at a density of 10,000 cells per well in black 384-well dishes (Corning #354663) coated with poly-D-lysine in starvation medium. The starvation medium was based on DMEM supplemented with 0.5% human serum albumin and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. The following day, the peptide compound and recombinant hFGF23 (SEQ ID NO:5) (RnD Systems #2604-FG-025) were diluted in the starvation medium and co-incubated at 22°C for 1 hour before being added to the cells. The cells were incubated at 37°C for 4 hours, then lysed and luminescence was detected using an ultrasensitive EnVision 2104 disc reader (PerkinElmer).
[0193] The peptide compound was tested using either a single-dose or dose-response assay. In the single-dose assay, the peptide compound was applied at a final concentration of 1 nM. In the dose-response assay, the peptide compound was serially diluted and applied to cells at concentrations ranging from 50 nM to 0.032 nM. Both assay configurations applied hFGF23 at a concentration of 45 pM corresponding to hFGF23 EC80. In the single-dose assay, the compound response data were normalized relative to the minimum and maximum responses occurring in the absence and presence of hFGF23, respectively. Results are expressed as "residual activity %". The following formula was used: y = Luminescence reaction of polypeptide compounds Minimum value = No hFGF23 processing Maximum value = hFGF23 processing The purpose of the dose-response experiment was to determine the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) to compare the in vitro efficacy of the compounds. For this purpose, a four-parameter logarithmic equation (4PL fitting) was applied: Y Y = reaction, which decreases as x increases. x = concentration of polypeptide compound IC50 = half-maximum inhibitory concentration Hill Slope = Steepness of the linear portion of the dose-response curve
[0194] The analysis of single-dose and dose-response experiments was performed using Datalab with Python commands.

An IC50 value less than 1 nM or a residual activity % less than 50% at 1 nM indicates that the compounds have unexpectedly strong inhibitory activity under the experimental conditions. surface [6]. hFGF23 inhibitory efficacy (IC50) and residual activity % at 1 nM [Chem.] [IC] 50 [ (nM)] [1 nM] [Residual activity below] [%] [Chem.] [IC, 50 , (nM)] [1 nM] [Residual activity below] [%] 4 0.803 129 0.286 5 0.646 130 0.262 6 0.893 131 0.413 7 0.497 132 0.432 8 0.722 133 0.344 9 21 134 0.412 10 38 135 0.172 11 46 136 0.300 12 38 137 0.283 13 41 138 0.215 14 46 139 0.290 15 38 140 0.112 16 46 141 0.237 17 49 142 0.142 18 44 143 0.181 19 47 144 0.163 20 47 145 0.591 21 47 146 0.428 22 30 147 0.917 23 33 148 0.407 24 48 149 29 25 26 150 0.514 26 42 151 0.465 27 32 152 0.391 28 39 153 0.204 29 30 154 0.372 30 44 155 0.362 31 42 156 0.298 32 48 157 0.614 33 38 158 0.363 34 37 159 0.546 35 39 160 0.591 36 49 161 25 37 40 162 13 38 42 163 11 39 34 164 17 40 42 165 0.239 41 42 166 0.322 42 44 167 0.860 43 42 168 0.550 44 32 169 39 45 27 170 23 46 41 171 37 47 46 172 0.221 48 47 173 0.223 49 47 174 0.325 50 31 175 0.093 51 30 176 0.146 52 43 177 9 53 41 178 11 54 41 179 0.259 55 43 180 0.238 56 49 181 0.198 57 45 182 0.456 58 41 183 20 59 44 184 34 60 29 185 15 61 44 186 0.134 62 41 187 0.231 63 40 188 21 64 37 189 12 65 37 190 0.334 66 49 191 14 67 48 192 0.264 68 38 193 0.503 69 45 194 0.140 70 40 195 0.206 71 27 196 0.204 72 30 197 0.055 73 29 198 0.159 74 37 199 0.105 75 35 200 0.081 76 34 201 0.106 77 22 202 0.742 78 24 203 0.077 79 27 204 0.083 80 20 205 0.087 81 34 206 0.076 82 27 207 0.074 83 24 208 0.109 84 29 209 0.050 85 28 210 0.039 86 27 211 0.137 87 36 212 0.093 88 18 213 0.035 89 0.084 214 0.034 90 21 215 0.196 91 25 216 0.641 92 20 217 0.657 93 17 218 0.583 94 24 219 0.379 95 25 220 0.101 96 41 221 0.195 97 40 222 0.258 98 47 223 0.340 99 48 224 0.273 100 39 225 0.293 101 49 226 0.216 102 41 227 0.483 103 47 228 0.305 104 0.527 229 0.226 105 0.343 230 0.307 106 0.083 231 0.104 107 0.127 232 0.149 108 0.166 233 0.166 109 0.391 234 0.473 110 0.258 235 0.218 111 0.332 236 0.273 112 0.681 237 0.200 113 0.722 238 0.558 114 0.329 239 0.158 115 0.320 240 0.182 116 0.556 241 0.185 117 0.413 242 0.372 118 0.804 243 0.100 119 0.625 244 0.274 120 0.328 245 0.467 121 0.263 246 0.171 122 0.212 247 0.051 123 0.307 248 0.882 124 0.176 249 0.511 125 0.212 250 0.158 126 0.261 251 0.172 127 0.352 252 0.083 128 0.169 3 0.296
[0196] Data analysis shows that the compounds disclosed in this paper can inhibit hFGF23-induced signal transduction. Compounds with high sequence homology (e.g., at least 93% sequence homology) were demonstrated to maintain inhibitory activity against hFGF23. These compounds are therefore suitable for the treatment of hypophosphatemia, such as X-linked hypophosphatemia rickets (XLH). [Example] [3] [Surface plasma resonance] [(SPR)] [right] [hFGF23] [Antagonistic peptides and] [hFGF23] [Characteristics of the interactions between them] [ ]
[0197] The purpose of this analysis was to demonstrate that the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide ("peptide") of this invention binds to hFGF23 and to determine the binding affinity. Binding studies were performed on Biacore™ T200, Biacore™ 8K, or Biacore™ 8K+ (all derived from Cytiva), instruments designed to utilize surface plasma resonance (SPR) for instantaneous quantitative molecular interactions. Samples were maintained at 10°C in a sample compartment while experiments were conducted at 10°C or 25°C. The signal reported by the SPR instrument (expressed in reaction units (RU)) was directly correlated with the mass within eight parallel channels on the sensor wafer surface, each containing two tandem flow channels.
[0198] The procedure begins with the use of an amine coupling kit (Cytiva), following manufacturer guidelines, to covalently immobilize a self-produced anti-HPC4 monoclonal antibody onto two channels of the S-series sensor chip CM4 (Cytiva). Subsequently, HPC4-labeled recombinant hFGF23 (SEQ ID NO:6) is captured by injection into channel 2. This creates an active target surface in channel 2 and a reference surface in channel 1, which is immobilized solely with the anti-HPC4 antibody.
[0199] By injecting analytes into two flow cells to examine the binding of peptides to captured targets, comparative analysis of the binding of different compounds to captured targets (relative to a reference surface) can be achieved. The compounds of this invention are serially diluted in electrophoresis buffer (10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, 0.05% v / v surfactant P20) and injected at a rate of 50 µl min⁻¹ for 240 seconds, allowing dissociation for 900 seconds. After each analyte injection cycle, the CM4 surface is regenerated by injection of 10 mM glycine pH 1.5. This step removes the captured targets and any bound peptides from the antibody-attached surface, preparing it for subsequent sample pair interactions. The regeneration process does not remove the covalently attached anti-HPC4 capture antibody from the wafer surface.
[0200] The peptide binding curves were processed by subtracting the reference surface signal and injecting blank buffer into the captured hFGF23. This method allows for correction for instrument noise, volume shift, and drift during sample injection. The peptide association and dissociation rate constants, ka (association rate) and kd (dissociation rate), were extracted using Biacore Insight evaluation software (version 5.0.18.22102) by fitting a 1:1 Langmuir model to the data on an overall scale. The affinity between the compound and the target was quantified based on the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD), which was calculated kinetically from the equation KD = kd / ka. The results are presented in Table 7 below. surface [7]. Affinity value [Chem.] [K] D [ (nM)] 89 1.61 175 0.99 197 1.05 201 1.67 204 0.81 205 0.86 206 1.80
[0201] Data analysis shows that these compounds exhibit the desired binding to hFGF23. Further evidence demonstrates that compounds with high sequence identity percentages bind to hFGF23 with an affinity (KD) of 2 nM or less, particularly 1.8 nM or less.

[0202] The purpose of this analysis was to demonstrate that the hFGF23 antagonistic peptide ("peptide") of the present invention binds to FGF23 from a non-human species and to determine the binding affinity. The analysis was performed similarly to that in Example 3, except that the hFGF23 was replaced with FGF23 from dogs, pigs, or monkeys.

[0203] Data analysis shows that these compounds exhibit the required cross-species reactive binding to FGF23 from dogs, pigs, and monkeys. [Example] [5] Pharmacokinetic studies in miniature pigs [1] [ ]
[0204] The research objective is to determine the blood half-life of certain compounds of the present invention after intravenous administration.
[0205] The study was conducted in female Göttingen minipigs (Ellegaard Minipigs A / S, Dalmose, Denmark) weighing approximately 25 kg. The peptide was administered intravenously to the minipigs at a dose of 10 nmol / kg (n=3 per group). The formulation contained 50 mM phosphate and 70 mM sodium chloride as mediators, at pH 7.4.
[0206] Blood samples were collected over 312 hours via an indwelling permanent venous catheter and collected in EDTA tubes (Sarstedt, Germany). Plasma was separated and compound concentrations were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
[0207] Non-compartmental (NCA) pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using Phoenix® WinNonlin® v. 8.1 (Certara LP Princeton, NJ, USA). Terminal elimination time was fitted via linear regression using uniform weights. NCA was performed using nominal sampling time and actual dose.
[0208] The concentration of peptides in miniature pig plasma was assessed by plasma protein precipitation followed by turbulent flow liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (TF-LC-MS). Calibration standards and quality control samples were prepared by incorporating compounds into blank plasma and then serially diluting them. All plasma samples were prepared by adding four volumes of ethanol to one volume of plasma sample. The precipitation solvent contained 20 nM internal standard. After centrifugation at 4 °C, the supernatant was diluted with one volume of purified water containing 1% formic acid. The precipitated plasma sample was first washed and concentrated on a TurboFlow Cyclone column (0.5 × 50 mm, Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 30 °C and then transferred to an analytical column. The analytical column was an XBridge Peptide BEH C18 column (2.1 × 50 mm, 3.5 µm particle size, Waters) operated at 60 °C. Analytical separation was performed using a linear gradient. Mobile phase A consisted of water containing 5% organic solvent (acetonitrile / methanol (1:1, by volume)) and 1% formic acid, while mobile phase B consisted of water containing 95% organic solvent (acetonitrile / methanol (1:1, by volume)) and 1% formic acid. The mass spectrometer coupled to the TF-LC system was either a TSQ Altis or a Q Exactive (both from Thermo Fisher Scientific). The mass spectrometer was operated in positive ionization mode, with the selected reaction monitored on the TSQ Altis and parallel reactions monitored on the Q Exactive. Sample quantification was performed relative to the reaction from the calibration standard using linear regression with a 1 / X2 weighting. The reaction was calculated as the analyte peak area divided by the internal standard peak area. The concentrations of the quality control samples and calibration standards were measured within ±15% of the nominal concentration, except for one quality control sample which was -17% of the nominal concentration. The limits of quantitation were between 0.250 nM and 1.00 nM. result
[0209] The results are shown in Table 9 below, where column T1 / 2 represents the blood half-life (T1 / 2). A high half-life value is desired. surface [9].

[0210] No adverse clinical observations were observed that were thought to be related to the test compound during the study.
[0211] The results showed that extending the sequence at position 58 with C18 or C20 diacid resulted in a clinically significant blood half-life for polypeptide compounds with high sequence consistency.
[0212] A longer half-life indicates that the specified compound can provide long-term inhibitory efficacy after administration, compared to compounds with relatively short half-lives. A longer half-life allows for a lower frequency of dosing, which is necessary to provide enhanced convenience to patients. [Example] [6] Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in dogs [ ]
[0213] The objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the compound of the present invention in male Beagle dogs following a single subcutaneous (sc) injection.
[0214] Male Beagle dogs were administered a single subcutaneous injection of Chem. 206, Chem. 207, and Chem. 208 (n=3 / compound, target dose 10 nmol / kg). The composition of the injectable formulation is listed below: 20 mM L-histidine; 150 mM L-arginine salt; pH=6.49-6.51.
[0215] The study included fifteen male Beagles from Marshall, Beijing, China, aged between 2.60 and 9.10 years and weighing between 11.3 and 15.0 kg. During the study, the dogs were housed in groups, and each animal was identified by a unique tattoo number. The enclosures were maintained at a temperature of 16–25°C and a humidity level of 40–70%. A 12-hour light-dark cycle was used. During the study period, the dogs were fed commercially available dog food (medium-sized adult dry dog food, Royal Canin®, Shanghai, China; 150–225 g / dog / day) once daily at 13:00. Animals were fasted overnight for morning sampling. The animals had free access to quality drinking water.
[0216] On the day the experiment began, dogs received a single subcutaneous bolus injection of the test compound at approximately 9:00 AM. To measure the plasma concentration of the test compound and plasma phosphate, blood samples (1.2 mL at each time point) were collected in EDTA-coated tubes at the following time points: before administration (0 min), 5, 15, 30, 45 min, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 7, 10 h, 24, 30, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, 216, 240, 264, 288, 312, and 336 h. Blood samples were stored on ice until centrifugation (4 min, 4°C, 4000 rpm). Immediately after centrifugation, two sets of 100 μL EDTA-coated plasma samples (one for quantification of the test compound and one for quantification of phosphate) from each sampling time point were transferred to microtubes and stored at -20°C until analysis. Plasma analysis of test compounds
[0217] The plasma concentrations of Chem. 206, Chem. 207, and Chem. 208 were analyzed by plasma protein precipitation followed by turbulent liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (TF-LC-MS). Calibrators were prepared by incorporating Chem. 206, Chem. 207, and Chem. 208 in the range of 0.5 to 2000 nM into canine blank plasma. Calibrators were prepared by adding three volumes of ethanol containing 50 nM internal standard (ISTD) (Chem. 175) to one volume of sample, followed by centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 60 min at 4°C, and then protein precipitation. Blank plasma or study samples were used for TF-LC-MS. One volume of the supernatant was mixed with two volumes of water (containing 0.1% formic acid). The mixture was analyzed by TF-LC-MS using a Cyclone turbulent flow column (0.5 × 50 mm, ThermoFisher Scientific) and an Agilent poroshell 120 SB-C18 column (2.1 × 50 mm, 2.7 μm particles). Gradient dissociation was performed using mobile phase A (composed of milli-Q water containing 0.1% formic acid and 5% methanol / acetonitrile (50 / 50)) and mobile phase B (composed of methanol / acetonitrile (50 / 50) containing 0.1% formic acid and 5% milli-Q water). The mass spectrometer was operated in positive ionization mode. An Orbitrap Exploris 240 mass spectrometer (ThermoFisher Scientific) was used as the detector in parallel reaction monitoring mode (Chem. 206: m / z 1912.4600@1748.5375; Chem. 207: m / z 1926.9600@1767.5369; Chem. 208: m / z 1905.4500@2211.0012; Chem. 175: m / z 1923.4500@1762.8643). Concentrations in plasma samples were calculated using linear calibration curves (weighted 1 / x2). Quality control samples were included. The deviation between the nominal and calculated concentrations in the calibrator and quality control samples was less than 15%. The limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 2.0 nM. Pharmacokinetic analysis of the test compounds
[0218] Enter the plasma concentration values of the test compound at each sampling time point into Phoenix® WinNonlin® version 8.4.0.6172 for non-compartmental analysis (NCA) using the Linear Up Log Down method and a weight of 1 / (Y*Y). NCA calculations use the actual sampling time. Individual concentration values below the LLOQ are treated as zero at time points before the first detectable exposure and as missing values at time points after Tmax. NCA analysis uses the actual dose, calculated using the actual concentration of the compound.

[Example] [7] [Plasma phosphate content in miniature pigs and dogs] [ ]
[0221] To determine the in vivo efficacy of the compounds of the present invention, plasma phosphate levels were measured in the PK studies described in Examples 5 and 6. Serum Pi method:
[0222] Plasma phosphate was measured using the PHOS2 Inorganic Phosphate Analyzer v2.0 (Roche) on a Cobas Pro C503 analytical instrument. Animals were administered a single intravenous dose of 10 nmol / kg (miniature pigs, Example 5) or a single subcutaneous dose of 10 nmol / kg (Beagle dogs, Example 6). Plasma samples were collected for analysis at administration (0), at 5, 15, and 30 minutes post-administration, and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 24, 30, 48, 72, 96, and 144 hours post-administration.

[0223] The results showed that the compounds of this invention can increase plasma phosphate levels in vivo. [Example] [8] [:] [Chem. 3] [Crystallization and Use] [X] [Antigenic determinant localization achieved by radiographic crystallography] [ ]
[0224] To determine the position where the compound of the present invention binds to hFGF23, crystallization studies were conducted to identify antigenic determinant residues on hFGF23. hFGF23 and test compounds used for complex purification and initial crystallization
[0225] The complex consisting of the hFGF23 core domain (SEQ ID NO:4) and Chem. 3 (SEQ ID NO:10) was prepared as follows: Chem. 3 (SEQ ID NO:10) in excess at 1.5 moles was mixed with the hFGF23 core domain (SEQ ID NO:4), incubated at 4°C for 2 hours, and purified by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) using a Superdex 75 16 / 60 column in 10 mM HEPES pH 7.5 and 500 mM NaCl. The purified complex was collected from the SEC peak fraction, concentrated to 3.7–7.4 mg / mL, and used for crystallization assays in a 96-well settling drop (using a commercially available crystallization sieve) and incubated at 18°C. Initial crystals were obtained in droplets containing 0.18 µl of stock solution (0.2 M potassium formate, 20% (w / v) PEG 3350) and 0.36 µl of protein solution. Seed stock solution was prepared using the initial crystals for subsequent seeding experiments. The seed stock solution was prepared as follows: 1) the initial crystals in the droplet were crushed; 2) the droplet containing the crushed crystals was transferred to a seed bead tube (HR2-320 Hampton research) containing 50 µl of stock solution (0.2 M potassium formate, 20% (w / v) PEG 3350); and 3) the droplet was shaken on a vortex mixer for 2 minutes. Crystallization and structural determination of the complex of hFGF23 core domain (SEQ ID NO:4) and Chem. 3
[0226] Crystals were obtained at 18 °C by inoculating 35 nl of seed stock solution into droplets containing 0.36 µl of protein solution and 0.36 µl of stock solution (0.2 M calcium acetate hydrate, 20% w / v polyethylene glycol 3,350). The crystals were cryoprotected in glycerol and then frozen in liquid nitrogen. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction data were collected at the Swiss Light Source and processed in XDS / XSCALE until a resolution of 1.8 Å was achieved in space group 4 (P21). The structure was determined in Phenix by molecular substitution using the following pdb inputs as the search model: 2P39 and 5DJT (B chain only). The solution derived from the molecular substitution was found in space group 4 (P21) and contained two complexes (complex 1 and complex 2) in the asymmetric unit. The structure was refined to a resolution of 1.8 Å in Phenix. A brief explanation and interpretation of the structure
[0227] The two complexes in the asymmetric unit show high structural similarity, with RMSDs of 0.658 Å (main chain) and 1.058 Å (all atoms) calculated using "Align" in PyMOL, excluding outliers. The overall structure of the hFGF23 core domain (SEQ ID NO:4) is similar to the aforementioned crystal structure of hFGF23 (pdb input 2P39), with a main chain RMSD of 1.304 Å calculated using "Align" in PyMOL, excluding outliers.
[0228] The interaction between hFGF23 and its receptor (a heterodimer of FGFR1c and α-crosox protein) has previously been characterized by X-ray crystallography (pdb input 5W21). Structural comparison of the hFGF23 / receptor complex (5W21) and the Chem. 3 / hFGF23 core domain (SEQ ID NO:4) complex revealed significant overlap between the binding sites of the hFGF23 receptor and Chem. 3 on hFGF23, confirming that Chem. 3 directly prevents the interaction between hFGF23 and its receptor, thereby inhibiting hFGF23 function. Determination of the antigenic determinants of Chem. 3
[0229] The antigenic determinant residues (the distance between any non-hydrogen atom in Chem. 3 and hFGF23 is 3.5 Å) include the following residues in hFGF23 (SEQ ID NO:1): M74, R76, T86, R91, F108, P110, R114, L166, I167 and N170. [Example] [9] [Computer-simulated antigen determinant assay] [ ]
[0230] Computer simulations were performed using Alphafold v. 2.3 (https: / / www.biorxiv.org / content / 10.1101 / 2021.10.04.463034v2) to simulate the folding of hFGF23 (SEQ NO:1) with Chem. 206, Chem. 207, and Chem. 208. For multiple sequence alignment, a simplified database setup was applied, and the number of iterations was set to 5. All other model parameters were set to default.
[0231] The identified antigenic determinant, determined at a distance of 3.5 Å between the test compound and any non-hydrogen atom in hFGF23, contains the following residues from hFGF23: Chem. 206: [R76] [T86] [R91], Y93, Y107 [R114], F169 and N170. Chem. 207: W36 [R76] [T86] [R91], Y107 [R114], I167, F169 and N170. Chem. 208: [R76] [T86] [R91]、 [R114], L166 and F169.
[0232] Referring to Example 8, all tested compounds bound to the antigenic determinants on hFGF23 containing amino acid residues R76, T86, R91, and R114. These residues (highlighted in bold above) are therefore considered key antigenic determinant residues of the compounds of this invention. [Example]
[10] Pharmacokinetic studies in miniature pigs [2]
[0233] The research objective is to determine the blood half-life of certain compounds of the present invention after intravenous administration.
[0234] The study was conducted in female Ellegaard Minipigs A / S, Dalmose, Denmark, weighing approximately 25 kg. The peptide was administered intravenously to the minipigs at a dose of 14 nmol / kg, n=3 per group. The formulation contained 50 mM phosphate, 70 mM sodium chloride, and 0.007% polysorbate 20, at pH 7.4.
[0235] Blood samples were collected over 312 hours via an indwelling permanent venous catheter and collected in EDTA tubes (Sarstedt, Germany). Plasma was separated and compound concentrations were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
[0236] Non-compartmental (NCA) pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using Phoenix® WinNonlin® v. 8.1 (Certara LP Princeton, NJ, USA). Terminal elimination time was fitted via linear regression using uniform weights. NCA was performed using nominal sampling time and actual dose.
[0237] The concentration of peptides in miniature pig plasma was assessed by plasma protein precipitation followed by turbulent flow liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (TF-LC-MS). Calibration standards and quality control samples were prepared by incorporating compounds into blank plasma and then serially diluting them. All plasma samples were prepared by adding four volumes of ethanol to one volume of plasma sample. The precipitation solvent contained 20 nM internal standard. After centrifugation at 4 °C, the supernatant was diluted with one volume of purified water containing 1% formic acid. The precipitated plasma sample was first washed and concentrated on a TurboFlow Cyclone column (0.5 × 50 mm, Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 30 °C and then transferred to an analytical column. The analytical column was an XBridge Peptide BEH C18 column (2.1 × 50 mm, 3.5 µm particle size, Waters) operated at 60 °C. Analytical separation was performed using a linear gradient. Mobile phase A consisted of water containing 5% organic solvent (acetonitrile / methanol (1:1, by volume)) and 1% formic acid, while mobile phase B consisted of water containing 95% organic solvent (acetonitrile / methanol (1:1, by volume)) and 1% formic acid. The mass spectrometer coupled to the TF-LC system was either a TSQ Altis or a Q Exactive (both from Thermo Fisher Scientific). The mass spectrometer was operated in positive ionization mode, with the selected reaction monitored on the TSQ Altis and parallel reactions monitored on the Q Exactive. Sample quantification was performed relative to the reaction from the calibration standard using linear regression with a 1 / X2 weighting. The reaction was calculated as the analyte peak area divided by the internal standard peak area. The concentrations of the quality control samples and calibration standards were measured within ±15% of the nominal concentration, except for one quality control sample which was -17% of the nominal concentration. The limits of quantitation were between 0.250 nM and 1.00 nM. result

[0239] No adverse clinical observations were observed that were thought to be related to the test compound during the study.
[0240] The results showed that the use of C20 diacid at position 58 resulted in a clinically significant blood half-life extension.
[0241] A longer half-life indicates that the specified compound can provide long-term inhibitory efficacy after administration, compared to compounds with relatively short half-lives. A longer half-life allows for a lower frequency of dosing, which is necessary to provide enhanced convenience to patients. [Example]
