Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese invention patent application with application number 202180002753.4, application date January 8, 2021, and invention name “Conjugate of fusion protein of GLP-1 and FGF21”. The original application is the Chinese national phase application of the PCT international application with international application number PCT / CN2021 / 070766, which claims priority of application serial numbers PCT / CN2020 / 071566 and PCT / CN2020 / 130515 filed on January 11, 2020 and November 20, 2020, respectively. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to fusion protein conjugates, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of preventing and / or treating diseases using such substances. Background Art
[0003] The main biologically active fragment of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a 30 or 31 amino acid peptide fragment (amino acids 7-36 or 7-37 of GLP-1) derived from post-translational processing of the proglucagon peptide. The original GLP-1 product, GLP-1, stimulates insulin synthesis and secretion and has been shown to prevent hyperglycemia in diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes. However, endogenous GLP-1 has a half-life of only approximately 2 minutes, which results in fasting plasma levels of GLP-1 of only 0-15 pmol / L.
[0004] Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, is a hormone synthesized in several metabolically active organs and regulates glucose and lipid homeostasis. Due to its diverse metabolic functions in multiple target organs, the biology of FGF21 is inherently complex. FGF21 has been reported to play a role in organs such as the liver, adipocytes, pancreas, hypothalamus, and muscle tissue (Fisher FM, Annu Rev Physiol, 2016, 78:223).
[0005] Metabolic disorders, often associated with insulin resistance, visceral obesity, and atherogenic dyslipidemia, pose a significant and escalating public health and clinical challenge worldwide. However, existing treatments for metabolic diseases suffer from issues such as short half-lives and / or low efficacy.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need for improved therapeutic regimens for treating metabolic diseases. Summary of the Invention

[0199] The following description of the present invention is intended only to illustrate various embodiments of the present invention. As such, the specific modifications discussed should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various equivalents, variations, and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention, and it will be understood that such equivalent embodiments are intended to be included herein. All references cited herein, including publications, patents, and patent applications, are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0200] definition
[0201] "Percentage (%) sequence identity" is defined as the percentage of amino acid (or nucleic acid) residues in a candidate sequence that are identical to the amino acid (or nucleic acid) residues in a reference sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum number of identical amino acids (or nucleic acids). In other words, the percentage (%) sequence identity of an amino acid sequence (or nucleic acid sequence) can be calculated by dividing the number of identical amino acid residues (or bases) relative to the reference sequence to which it is compared by the total number of amino acid residues (or bases) in the candidate sequence or the reference sequence, whichever is shorter. Conservative substitutions of amino acid residues are not considered identical residues. Alignment for the purpose of determining percent amino acid (or nucleic acid) sequence identity can be performed, for example, using publicly available tools such as BLASTN, BLASTp (available on the website of the US National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), see also Altschul SF et al., J. Mol. Biol., 215:403-410 (1990); Stephen F et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 25:3389-3402 (1997)), ClustalW2 (available on the website of the European Bioinformatics Institute, see also Higgins DG et al., Methods in Enzymology, 266:383-402 (1996); Larkin et al., Methods in Enzymology, 267:383-402 (1997)). MA et al., Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 23(21):2947-8 (2007) and ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. One skilled in the art can use the default parameters provided by the tools, or can customize parameters suitable for alignment, for example, by selecting an appropriate algorithm.
[0202] "Conservative substitutions" with respect to amino acid sequences refer to replacing an amino acid residue with a different amino acid residue having a side chain with similar physiochemical properties. For example, conservative substitutions can be made between amino acid residues having hydrophobic side chains (e.g., Met, Ala, Val, Leu, and Ile), between residues having neutral hydrophilic side chains (e.g., Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn, and Gln), between residues having acidic side chains (e.g., Asp, Glu), between amino acids having basic side chains (e.g., His, Lys, and Arg), or between residues having aromatic side chains (e.g., Trp, Tyr, and Phe). As is known in the art, conservative substitutions generally do not cause significant changes in the conformational structure of the protein, and therefore, the biological activity of the protein can be retained.
[0203] As used herein, the term "functional form" refers to different forms (such as variants, fragments, fusions, derivatives and mimetics) of a parent molecule that, despite differences in amino acid sequence or chemical structure, retain the basic biological activity of the parent molecule. As used herein, the expression "retaining basic biological activity" means exhibiting at least a portion (e.g., not less than about 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% or 90%) or all of the biological activity of the parent molecule. The functional form of a parent polypeptide can include naturally occurring variant forms and non-naturally occurring forms, such as those obtained by recombinant methods or chemical synthesis. The functional form can contain non-natural amino acid residues.
[0204] As used herein, the term "variant" refers to a polypeptide that has at least 70% sequence identity with a parent polypeptide and retains at least some of the functionality of the parent polypeptide. A variant may differ from the parent polypeptide in one or more amino acid residues. For example, a variant may have a substitution, addition, deletion, insertion, or truncation of one or more amino acid residues of the parent polypeptide.
[0205] As used herein, the term "fragment" refers to a partial sequence of a parent polypeptide of any length. The fragment may still retain at least some of the functions of the parent polypeptide.
[0206] As used herein, the term "derivative" refers to a chemically modified polypeptide or fusion polypeptide in which one or more clearly defined substituents have been covalently attached to one or more specific amino acid residues of the polypeptide or fusion polypeptide. Exemplary chemical modifications can be, for example, alkylation, acylation, esterification, amidation, phosphorylation, glycosylation, labeling, methylation, or conjugation to one or more moieties of one or more amino acids.
[0207] As used herein, the term "mimetic" refers to a molecular structure that acts as a substitute for an amino acid, peptide, polypeptide, or fusion polypeptide. For example, as used herein, an amino acid mimetic can be a synthetic structure (known or unknown) that may or may not be an amino acid, but retains the functional characteristics of the parent amino acid while differing in structure from the parent amino acid. Examples include methacryloyl or acryloyl derivatives of amides, β-, γ-, and δ-imino acids (e.g., piperidine-4-carboxylic acid), and the like.
[0208] As used herein, "treating" or "treatment" of a condition includes preventing or alleviating the condition, slowing the onset or rate of development of the condition, reducing the risk of developing the condition, preventing or delaying the development of symptoms associated with the condition, reducing or ending symptoms associated with the condition, causing complete or partial regression of the condition, curing the condition, or some combination thereof.
[0209] As used herein, the term "vector" refers to a medium into which a polynucleotide encoding a protein can be operably inserted to cause expression of the protein. A vector can be used to transform, transduce, or transfect a host cell so that the genetic elements it carries are expressed in the host cell. Examples of vectors include plasmids; phagemids; cosmids; artificial chromosomes, such as yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), or P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PACs); bacteriophages, such as lambda phages or M13 phages; and animal viruses. The categories of animal viruses used as vectors include retroviruses (including lentiviruses), adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpes viruses (such as herpes simplex viruses), poxviruses, baculoviruses, papillomaviruses, and papovaviruses (such as SV40). A vector can contain a variety of elements for controlling expression, including promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selectable elements, and reporter genes. In addition, a vector can contain an origin of replication. A vector can also include materials that facilitate its entry into cells, including but not limited to viral particles, liposomes, or protein envelopes. A vector can be an expression vector or a cloning vector. The present disclosure provides vectors (e.g., expression vectors) containing a nucleic acid sequence encoding a fusion polypeptide as provided herein, at least one promoter (e.g., SV40, CMV, EF-1α) operably linked to the nucleic acid sequence, and at least one selection marker. Examples of vectors include, but are not limited to, retroviruses (including lentiviruses), adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpes viruses (e.g., herpes simplex virus), poxviruses, baculoviruses, papillomaviruses, papovaviruses (e.g., SV40), lambda phages and M13 phages, plasmids pcDNA3.3, pMD18-T, pOptivec, pCMV, pEGFP, pIRES, pQD-Hyg-GSeu, pALTER, pBAD, pcDNA, pCal, pL, pET, pGEMEX , pGEX, pCI, pEGFT, pSV2, pFUSE, pVITRO, pVIVO, pMAL, pMONO, pSELECT, pUNO, pDUO, Psg5L, pBABE, pWPXL, pBI, p1 5TV-L, pPro18, pTD, pRS10, pLexA, pACT2.2, pCMV-SCRIPT.RTM., pCDM8, pCDNA1.1 / amp, pcDNA3.1, pRc / RSV, PCR 2.1, pEF-1, pFB, pSG5, pXT1, pCDEF3, pSVSPORT, pEF-Bos, etc.
[0210] As used herein, the phrase "host cell" refers to a cell into which an exogenous polynucleotide and / or vector has been introduced.
[0211] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" indicates that the specified carrier, vehicle, diluent, excipient and / or salt is generally chemically and / or physically compatible with the other ingredients making up the formulation and physiologically compatible with the recipient thereof.
[0212] As used herein, the term "subject" or "individual" or "animal" or "patient" refers to a human or non-human animal, including a mammal or primate, for whom diagnosis, prognosis, amelioration, prevention and / or treatment of a disease or condition is desired. Mammalian subjects include humans, domestic animals, farm animals, and zoo, sports or pet animals, such as dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, mice, horses, pigs, cattle, bears, and the like.
[0213] In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a Polypeptide Conjugate comprising a fusion polypeptide conjugated to at least one clearance reducing moiety (CRM), wherein the fusion polypeptide comprises or consists essentially of GLP-1, a polypeptide linker, and FGF21 from N-terminus to C-terminus, wherein at least one CRM is conjugated to at least one conjugable residue in the fusion polypeptide. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide linker is at least 0-120 amino acid residues in length.
[0214] In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a polypeptide conjugate comprising a fusion polypeptide conjugated to at least one clearance reducing moiety (CRM), wherein the fusion polypeptide comprises or consists essentially of GLP-1, a polypeptide linker, and FGF21 from N-terminus to C-terminus; wherein the fusion polypeptide further comprises at least one conjugable residue conjugated to the CRM, and wherein the first conjugable residue is in FGF21; and wherein the polypeptide linker is at least 0-120 amino acid residues in length.
[0215] Fusion peptide
[0216] When applied to amino acid sequences (e.g., peptides, polypeptides, or proteins), the term "fusion" or "fused" refers to the combination of two or more amino acid sequences into a single amino acid sequence that does not occur naturally, for example, by chemical bonding or recombinant means. A fused amino acid sequence can be produced by genetic recombination of two encoding polynucleotide sequences and can be expressed by introducing a construct containing the recombinant polynucleotide into a host cell.
[0217] The terms "protein," "peptide," and "polypeptide" are used interchangeably herein and refer to polymers of amino acid residues linked by covalent bonds such as peptide bonds. Proteins or polypeptides as provided herein can comprise naturally occurring amino acid residues or non-natural amino acid residues, or both. Polypeptides, peptides, and proteins provided herein can comprise amino acid residues of any suitable length, for example, at least 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, or more amino acid residues.
[0218] As used herein, the term "naturally occurring" amino acid residue refers to an amino acid residue found in a naturally occurring protein or peptide in both D and L stereoisomeric forms if its structure allows such stereoisomeric forms. Examples of naturally occurring amino acid residues include, but are not limited to, the 20 standard amino acids, including glycine (Gly or G), alanine (Ala or A), valine (Val or V), leucine (Leu or L), isoleucine (Ile or I), serine (Ser or S), cysteine (Cys or C), threonine (Thr or T), methionine (Met or M), proline (Pro or P), phenylalanine (Phe or F), tyrosine (Tyr or Y), tryptophan (Trp or W), histidine (His or H), lysine (Lys or K), arginine (Arg or R), aspartic acid (Asp or D), glutamic acid (Glu or E), asparagine (Asn or N), and glutamine (Gln or Q), as well as their natural analogs, such as canavanine, pyrrolysine (PYL), selenocysteine, pyrroline-carboxy-lysine (PCL), sarcosine, β-alanine, phosphoserine, γ-carboxyglutamate, and ornithine. Examples of naturally occurring amino acid residues that are the D stereoisomer include, for example, D-aspartic acid, D-serine, D-cysteine, D-alanine, D-glutamic acid, and the like.
[0219] "Amino acid analogs" refers to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid (i.e., an alpha carbon bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group), such as homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, and methionine methylsulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but will retain the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid.
[0220] As used herein, "non-natural" amino acid residues refer to any amino acid residues not found in nature, including but not limited to modified amino acid residues and / or amino acid mimetics, which are not one of the known naturally occurring amino acids, but act in a manner similar to naturally occurring amino acids. Modified amino acid residues or mimetics can be produced by adding chemical entities (such as carbohydrate groups, phosphate groups, farnesyl groups, isofarnesyl groups, fatty acid groups, and linkers for conjugation), functionalization or other modifications. Non-natural amino acids can also refer to amino acids manufactured by chemical synthesis. Exemplary non-natural amino acids include but are not limited to 2-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), imidazole-4-acetic acid (IA), imidazole propionic acid (IPA), α-aminobutyric acid (Abu), tert-butylglycine (Tle), 3-aminomethylbenzoic acid, anthranilic acid, deaminohistidine (abbreviated as DesaminoHis, alias imidazole propionic acid, abbreviated as lmpr), amino acid β analogs such as β-alanine, 2-amino-histidine, β-hydroxy-histidine, homohistidine, Nα -acetyl-histidine, α-fluoro-methyl-histidine, α-methyl-histidine, α,α-dimethyl-glutamate, m-CF3-phenylalanine, α,β-diaminopropionic acid (abbreviated as Dap), 3-pyridylalanine, 2-pyridylalanine or 4-pyridylalanine, (1-aminocyclopropyl)carboxylic acid, (1-aminocyclobutyl)-carboxylic acid, (1-aminocyclopentyl)carboxylic acid, (1-aminocyclohexyl)carboxylic acid, (1-aminocycloheptyl)carboxylic acid and (1-aminocyclooctyl)carboxylic acid.
[0221] The introduction of non-natural amino acids into fusion polypeptides, polypeptide fragments and / or polypeptide complexes can be achieved by the techniques described in Wang et al., Science 292:498-500, 2001; Deiters et al., J Am Chem Soc 125:11782-11783, 2003; Wang and Schultz, Science 301:964-967, 2003; Zhang et al., Science 303:371-373, 2004 or U.S. Pat. No. 7,083,970. Briefly, some of these expression systems involve site-directed mutagenesis to introduce stop codons (e.g., amber (UAG), ochre (UAA), and opal (UGA) codons) into the open reading frame encoding the fusion polypeptides of the present disclosure. Other codons can also be introduced into the expression system for unnatural amino acids, such as four-base codons (e.g., AGGA, AGGU, CGGU, CGCU, CGAU, CCCU, CUCU, CUAU, and GGGU), five-base codons, six-base codons, etc. Such expression vectors are then introduced into a host that can utilize a tRNA specific for the introduced stop codon or other codon and that carries the selected unnatural amino acid.
[0222] GLP-1
[0223] As used herein, the term "glucagon-like peptide-1" or "GLP-1" is intended to broadly encompass native GLP-1 peptide and all functional forms thereof, such as functional variants, fragments, fusions, derivatives and mimetics thereof.
[0224] As used herein, the term "native GLP-1 peptide" refers to native human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1 (7-37)), the sequence of which is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 50. The residue numbering in GLP-1 is with reference to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 50, which begins with His at position 7 and ends with Gly at position 37.
[0225] The functional form of the native GLP-1 peptide is capable of activating the GLP-1 receptor at a level comparable to, or not less than about 20% (or not less than 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%) of, the level of the native GLP-1 peptide. Activation of the GLP-1 receptor typically initiates a signal transduction pathway, resulting in an insulinotropic effect or other physiological effects as known in the art. Many functional forms of GLP-1 peptides are known in the art, such as, but not limited to, liraglutide, semaglutide, dulaglutide, albiglutide, and those disclosed in WO2000055203A1, WO 98 / 08871, WO 2006 / 097537, WO2007139589A1, WO1998019698A1, WO2001098331A2, WO2003040309A2, WO2005000892A2, WO2015000942A1, WO2016083499A1, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entireties.
[0226] In certain embodiments, the GLP-1 provided herein comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 70% (e.g., at least 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%) sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 50 while retaining substantial biological activity of SEQ ID NO: 50.
[0227] In certain embodiments, the GLP-1 comprises no more than 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 substitutions relative to SEQ ID NO: 50 while retaining the substantial biological activity of SEQ ID NO: 50. In certain embodiments, the GLP-1 comprises at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 substitutions relative to SEQ ID NO: 50 while retaining the substantial biological activity of SEQ ID NO: 50.
[0228] In certain embodiments, GLP-1 further comprises one or more mutations. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various amino acid substitutions, such as conservative amino acid substitutions, can be made in the sequence of any of the polypeptides described herein without necessarily reducing their activity. Examples of amino acid substitutions include replacing an L-amino acid with its corresponding D-amino acid, replacing cysteine with homocysteine or other unnatural amino acids with thiol-containing side chains, replacing lysine with homolysine, diaminobutyric acid, diaminopropionic acid, ornithine, or other unnatural amino acids with amino-containing side chains, or replacing alanine with norvaline, etc.
[0229] Various substitutions have been introduced into native GLP-1 peptides and have been shown to retain or even improve their biological activity. In certain embodiments, the GLP-1 comprises one or more mutations at positions selected from the group consisting of A8, G22, K34, R36, and H7 relative to SEQ ID NO: 50, and any combination thereof. For example, substitutions at A8 are believed to be useful for preventing DPP4 enzymatic cleavage at that residue, substitutions at G22 are desirable for improving activity and solubility, and substitutions at R36 are useful for reducing immunogenicity. Examples of substitutions at these positions include, but are not limited to, H7IA, H71IPA, A8G, A8S, A8V, A8Aib, A8T, A8I, A8L, G22E, K34R, R36G, or any combination thereof, as well as the substitutions described in U.S. Patent No. 8,273,854, which is incorporated herein in its entirety. In certain embodiments, one or more additional substitutions comprise conservative substitutions.
[0230] In certain embodiments, GLP-1 comprises a substitution at A8 selected from the group consisting of A8G, A8S, A8V, A8Aib, A8T, and A8L.

[0231] In certain embodiments, GLP-1 comprises or consists of one or more substitutions selected from the group consisting of A8G, K26R, K34R, G22E, and R36G. In certain embodiments, GLP-1 comprises or consists of one or more substitutions selected from the group consisting of A8G, K34R, G22E, and R36G.
[0232] FGF21
[0233] As used herein, the term "fibroblast growth factor 21" or "FGF21" is intended to broadly encompass native human FGF21 and its functional variants, fragments, fusions, derivatives or mimetics. Native human FGF21 consists of 209 amino acid residues (Uniprot database, accession number Q9NSA1), of which amino acid residues 1-28 are signal polypeptides and amino acid residues 29-209 are mature polypeptides of 181 residues. The FGF21 provided in the present disclosure may be a mature polypeptide function or a functional variant, fragment, fusion, derivative or mimetics thereof. The mature polypeptide of FGF21 is included herein with SEQ ID NO: 36. As used herein, the residue numbering in FGF21 refers to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 36, which starts with His at position 1 and ends with Ser at position 181.
[0234] The functional form of the mature polypeptide of FGF21 is capable of activating the FGF21 receptor at a level comparable to, or not less than about 20% (or not less than 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%) of the mature polypeptide of native human FGF21. Activation of the FGF21 receptor can result in biological activities, such as the ability to activate glucose uptake in adipocytes, the ability to lower blood sugar and triglyceride levels, or the ability to reduce body weight (Tezze C et al., Front Physiol. 2019, 10:419). Many functional forms of mature polypeptides of FGF21 are known in the art, such as, but not limited to, WO2019043457A2, WO2018088838A1, WO2018039081A1, WO2017220706A1, WO2017180988A2, WO2017116207A1, WO2017093465, WO2017059371A1, WO2016102562A1, WO2016065326A, WO2013173158A1, WO2013052311 A1, WO2013033452A2, WO2012066075A1, WO2012059873A2, WO2012010553A1, WO2011140086A2, WO2010084169A2, WO2010065439A1, WO2008121563A2, WO2006028595A2, WO2006028714A1, WO2005113606A2, WO2016102562A, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety.
[0235] In certain embodiments, the FGF21 provided herein comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 36 while retaining substantial biological activity of SEQ ID NO: 36.
[0236] In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises no more than 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 substitutions relative to SEQ ID NO: 36 while retaining the substantial biological activity of SEQ ID NO: 36. In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 substitutions relative to SEQ ID NO: 36 while retaining the substantial biological activity of SEQ ID NO: 36.
[0237] In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises one or more mutations. In certain embodiments, the one or more mutations comprise conservative substitutions. In certain embodiments, the one or more mutations are at a position selected from positions 121, 168, 171, 180, and 181 relative to SEQ ID NO:36. In certain embodiments, the one or more mutations in FGF21 are selected from N121Q, M168L, P171G, A180E, and del181S. As used herein, "del181S" refers to the deletion of the serine at position 181 of FGF21.
[0238] connector
[0239] As used herein, the term "polypeptide linker" can be any suitable polypeptide that is capable of reacting with at least two entities to be connected (e.g., polypeptides) to connect the entities to form a molecule, or to maintain the entities tightly enough to maintain an associated state. The polypeptide linker can be integrated into the molecule or structure obtained by the connection. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide linker separates GLP-1 and FGF21 without substantially interfering with the respective biological activities of GLP-1 and FGF21. The polypeptide linker can be composed of amino acid residues linked together by peptide bonds. The polypeptide linker may further contain one or more non-natural amino acids.
[0240] In certain embodiments, the length of the polypeptide linker is at least 4, 8, 10, 20, 24, 28, 30, 40, 48, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 or more amino acid residues. In certain embodiments, the length of the polypeptide linker is at most 4, 8, 10, 20, 24, 28, 30, 40, 48, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 or 120 amino acid residues. In certain embodiments, the length of the polypeptide linker is 0-120, 1-120, 4-120, 8-120, 10-120, 20-120, 20-110, 20-100, 20-90 or 20-80 amino acid residues. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that the appropriate length of the polypeptide linker can further improve the biological activity or stability or pharmacokinetic parameters of the connected polypeptide molecule.
[0241] Any suitable polypeptide linker can be used. For example, a polypeptide linker can comprise or consist of amino acid residues selected from the group consisting of glycine (G), serine (S), alanine (A), methionine (M), asparagine (N), glutamine (Q), cysteine (C), proline (P), glutamic acid (E), threonine (T), and lysine (K). In some embodiments, a polypeptide linker can be composed of a majority of non-sterically hindered amino acids, such as glycine and alanine.
[0242] In some embodiments, the linker is polyglycine, polyalanine, a combination of glycine and alanine (such as poly(Gly-Ala)), or a combination of glycine and serine (such as poly(Gly-Ser)).
[0243] In certain embodiments, the polypeptide linker comprises or consists of one or more repetitions of a repetitive sequence. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide linker comprises or consists of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30 repetitions of a repetitive sequence, or within any numerical range limited by any two of the above listed numbers.
[0244] In certain embodiments, the repetitive sequence comprises or consists of no more than 4, 5, or 6 types of amino acid residues selected from the group consisting of G, Q, A, E, P, T, and S. In certain embodiments, the repetitive sequence comprises Q. In certain embodiments, the repetitive sequence consists of no more than 3, 4, or 5 types of amino acid residues selected from the group consisting of G, A, S, Q, and P. In certain embodiments, the repetitive sequence consists of G, A, Q, and P. In certain embodiments, the repetitive sequence consists of G, A, E, and P. In certain embodiments, the repetitive sequence consists of G, A, S, and P. In certain embodiments, the repetitive sequence does not comprise negatively charged amino acid residues.
[0245] In certain embodiments, the repeat sequence comprises or consists essentially of the amino acid residues G and S. In certain embodiments, the repeat sequence comprises or consists essentially of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: GS, GGSG, G a S b 、S a G b , wherein a and b are independently selected from integers from 1 to 5. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide linker comprises or consists essentially of: (GS)n, (GGSG)n, (G a S b )n、(S a G b )n, wherein a and b are independently selected from integers from 1 to 5, and n is selected from integers from 1 to 60.
[0246] In certain embodiments, the repeat sequence comprises or consists of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: G a S b, SEQ ID NO: 65 (GAQP), SEQ ID NO: 92 (GQEP), SEQ ID NO: 93 (GEQP), SEQ ID NO: 94 (GPQE), SEQ ID NO: 95 (GPEQ), SEQ ID NO: 96 (GSEP), SEQ ID NO: 97 (GESP), SEQ ID NO: 98 (GPSE), SEQ ID NO: 99 (GPES), SEQ ID NO:100(GQAP), SEQ ID NO:101(GPAQ), SEQ ID NO:102(GPQA), SEQ ID NO:103(GSQP), SEQ ID NO:104(GASP), SEQ ID NO:105(GPAS), SEQ ID NO:106(GPSA), SEQ ID NO:107(GGGS), SEQ ID NO:108(GSGS)、SEQ ID NO:57(GGGGS)、SEQ ID NO:143(GSAPGSPAGSPTGSAPGSPA) and GS, wherein a and b are independently an integer selected from 1 to 5.
[0247] In certain embodiments, the polypeptide linker comprises or consists of a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 54-65, 109-113, 3, 47-49, and 141-147.
[0248] In certain embodiments, the polypeptide linker comprises or consists of more than one repeat sequence. For example, the polypeptide linker comprises or consists of 2, 3, or 4 different repeat sequences. In certain embodiments, the polypeptide linker comprises or consists of sequential or tandem repeats of different repeat sequences. The number of repeats of each repeat sequence can be independently selected from the group consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 or more.
[0249] In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide comprises GLP-1, a polypeptide linker, and FGF21 from the N-terminus to the C-terminus. In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide is a single-chain polypeptide. A single-chain polypeptide may still have intrachain bonds within the molecule, but does not include complexes formed by one or more interchain bonds.
[0250] In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide consists essentially of GLP-1, a polypeptide linker, and FGF21 from N-terminus to C-terminus.
[0251] In certain embodiments, the Polypeptide Conjugate does not comprise an antibody fragment (e.g., Fc). Antibodies are immunoglobulin molecules that have the ability to specifically bind to a particular antigen. Antibodies contain two functionally independent parts, a variable domain called "Fab" that binds to the antigen, and a constant domain called "Fc," which comprises the non-antigen binding fragment and is associated with effector functions such as complement activation and attack by phagocytes. The Fc domain has a long serum half-life.
[0252] Conjugable residues
[0253] The fusion polypeptides provided herein further comprise at least one conjugable residue conjugated to a CRM.
[0254] As used herein, the term "conjugable residue" refers to an amino acid residue at a specific position within a fusion polypeptide that not only possesses a functional group capable of chemically or enzymatically conjugating to a chemical moiety, but also is positioned within the fusion polypeptide such that it readily undergoes such conjugation in a conjugation reaction of the specific functional group. As used herein, "conjugation" refers to a reaction that joins two molecules together to form a physical entity. For example, a covalent bond connecting two molecules can be formed in conjugation.
[0255] The skilled person will understand that whether a residue is a conjugable residue will depend on the given conjugation reaction and / or the functional group to be conjugated. If the functional group to be conjugated is an amino group and / or the conjugation reaction is specific or selective for amino groups, then a cysteine residue (i.e., not having an amino functional group in its side chain) will not be a conjugable group, regardless of its position in the polypeptide, while a lysine residue at a specific position may be a conjugable group. Similarly, if the functional group to be conjugated is a thiol group and / or the conjugation reaction is specific or selective for thiol groups, then a lysine residue (i.e., not having a thiol functional group in its side chain) will not be a conjugable residue, regardless of its position, while an unpaired cysteine residue that does not form a disulfide bond (whether intrachain or interchain) may be a conjugable residue.
[0256] In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide comprises a conjugated residue that has a conjugation reaction that is specific or selective for amino groups or amines (e.g., an acylation reaction). In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide comprises a conjugated residue that has a conjugation reaction that is specific or selective for thiol groups (e.g., a maleimide reaction or a reaction for disulfide bond formation).
[0257] When referring to an amino acid residue, the expression "conjugable" is intended to mean that the residue at a particular position in the fusion polypeptide is sufficiently accessible for conjugation. For example, a cysteine residue that is part of a disulfide bridge is not a conjugable residue in the present disclosure.
[0258] The conjugated residue can be a natural amino acid residue, a non-natural amino acid residue, a modified amino acid residue or an amino acid mimetic. Examples of conjugated residues include, but are not limited to, lysine, cysteine or a non-natural amino acid residue.
[0259] The fusion polypeptides provided herein comprise at least one conjugated residue conjugated to a CRM. In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide comprises at most one conjugated residue. In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide comprises at most two conjugated residues.
[0260] In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide comprises a first conjugable residue conjugated to a CRM. In certain embodiments, the first conjugable residue is in FGF21, in a polypeptide linker, or in GLP-1. In certain embodiments, the first conjugable residue is in FGF21.
[0261] In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide comprises a first conjugable residue and a second conjugable residue. In certain embodiments, the first and second conjugable residues are both present in the same constituent component of the fusion polypeptide. For example, the first and second conjugable residues are both present in FGF21, in a polypeptide linker, or in GLP-1. In certain embodiments, the first and second conjugable residues are present in different constituent components of the fusion polypeptide. For example, the first conjugable residue is present in FGF21 and the second conjugable residue is present in a polypeptide linker, the first conjugable residue is present in GLP-1 and the second conjugable residue is present in FGF21, or the first conjugable residue is present in GLP-1 and the second conjugable residue is present in a polypeptide linker. As used herein, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to designate one of the two conjugable residues and do not in any way imply that conjugation is performed in any order between the first and second conjugable residues.
[0262] In certain embodiments, the conjugable residue may be a naturally occurring residue found in the native FGF21 sequence, or a naturally occurring residue found in the native GLP-1 sequence. In certain embodiments, such a naturally occurring residue is a naturally occurring lysine residue.
[0263] In certain embodiments, when native GLP-1 or native FGF21 has more than one naturally occurring conjugable residue, one or more of such naturally occurring conjugable residues can be removed, for example, by mutation. For example, native GLP-1 has two naturally occurring lysine residues and native FGF21 has four naturally occurring lysine residues, at least some of which, or all of which, can be mutated without significantly reducing the biological activity of the fusion polypeptide.
[0264] In certain embodiments, a conjugable residue may alternatively be an introduced residue, for example, by substituting a non-conjugable residue for a conjugable residue, or by inserting a conjugable residue. The term "non-conjugable residue" refers to an amino acid residue in a fusion polypeptide that is not a conjugable residue for a given functional group and / or a given conjugation reaction. For example, when lysine is a conjugable residue, any amino acid residue may be considered a non-conjugable residue if it does not contain an amino group and / or does not react in a conjugation reaction that is specific or selective for an amino group.
[0265] In certain embodiments, such introduced conjugable residues are lysine residues. In certain embodiments, such introduced conjugable residues are cysteine residues.
[0266] In certain embodiments, the first and second conjugated residues have the same chemical identity. For example, the first and second conjugated residues are both lysine, both cysteine, or both unnatural amino acid residues.
[0267] Conjugatable residues in FGF21
[0268] In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises a first conjugable residue. In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises no conjugable residues or comprises at most one conjugable residue.
[0269] In certain embodiments, the conjugated residue in FGF21 is an introduced residue, optionally by substitution or insertion. Such introduced conjugated residues can be introduced at a position that does not significantly reduce the biological activity of FGF21. In certain embodiments, the introduced conjugated residue in FGF21 is in the C-terminal region of FGF21, for example, at a position no more than 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 amino acid residue away from the most C-terminal residue, or at a position relative to the most C-terminal residue in SEQ ID NO:36, or at a position extending from the most C-terminal residue in SEQ ID NO:36. The C-terminal extension of FGF21 can be described with reference to SEQ ID NO:36 by numbering from residue 181, which is the most C-terminal residue in SEQ ID NO:36. Position 182 relative to SEQ ID NO:36 refers to the first residue extending from residue 181 in SEQ ID NO:36, i.e., from the C-terminus. Similarly, position 183 refers to the second residue extending from the C-terminus, and so on. For example, "ins182K" relative to SEQ ID NO: 36 refers to the lysine residue attached or inserted at position 182 relative to SEQ ID NO: 36. In certain embodiments, the conjugated residue introduced into FGF21 is selected from positions 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 180, 181, 71, and 182 relative to SEQ ID NO: 36.
[0270] In certain embodiments, the conjugated residue in FGF21 comprises or consists of lysine. In certain embodiments, the conjugated residue in FGF21 comprises a substitution selected from the group consisting of G170K, P171K, S172K, Q173K, G174K, A180K, S181K, S71K, and ins182K relative to SEQ ID NO: 36.
[0271] In certain embodiments, naturally occurring lysine residues in FGF21 have been removed, for example, by substitution of naturally occurring lysine residues with non-conjugatable residues or deletion of naturally occurring lysine residues, or any other means that prevents the side chains of naturally occurring lysine residues from reacting in a given conjugation reaction.
[0272] In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises one or more mutations at positions selected from K56, K59, K69, and K122 relative to SEQ ID NO: 36, wherein the mutation is a mutation to a non-conjugable residue. In certain embodiments, the non-conjugable residue is selected from the group consisting of arginine (R), glutamine (Q), alanine (A), glycine (G), histidine (H), serine (S), and threonine (T). In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises a substitution of K56 selected from the group consisting of K56R, K56Q, K56A, K56G, K56H, K56S, and K56T. In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises or further comprises a substitution of K59 selected from the group consisting of K59R, K59Q, K59A, K59G, K59H, K59S, and K59T. In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises or further comprises a substitution of K69 selected from the group consisting of K69R, K69Q, K69A, K69G, K69H, K69S, and K69T. In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises or further comprises a substitution of K122 selected from the group consisting of K122R, K122Q, K122A, K122G, K122H, K122S, and K122T. In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises mutations of K56R, K59R, K69R, and K122R.
[0273] In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises or consists of a combination of mutations relative to SEQ ID NO: 36 selected from the group consisting of:
[0274] 1) N121Q, M168L, A180K, P171G, K56R, K59R, K69R, and K122R;
[0275] 2) N121Q, M168L, P171K, K56R, K59R, K69R, and K122R;
[0276] 3) N121Q, M168L, G174K, P171G, K56R, K59R, K69R, and K122R;
[0277] 4) N121Q, M168L, P171K, K56R, K59R, K69R, K122R, and A180E;
[0278] 5) N121Q, M168L, G174K, P171G, K56R, K59R, K69R, K122R, and A180E;
[0279] 6) N121Q, M168L, A180K, K56R, K59R, K69R, and K122R;
[0280] 7) N121Q, M168L, A180K, P171G, K56R, K59R, K69R, K122R, and del181S;
[0281] 8) N121Q, M168L, G170K, K56R, K59R, K69R, and K122R;
[0282] 9) N121Q, M168L, G170K, K56R, K59R, K69R, K122R, and A180E;
[0283] 10) N121Q, M168L, G170K, P171G, K56R, K59R, K69R, K122R, and A180E;
[0284] 11) N121Q, M168L, A180E, P171G, K56R, K59R, K69R, K122R, and S181K;
[0285] 12) N121Q, M168L, A180E, P171G, K56R, K59R, K69R, K122R, and ins182K;
[0286] 13) 71K, 121Q, 168L, 56R, 59R, 69R and 122R;
[0287] 14) 71K, 121Q, 168L, 171G, 56R, 59R, 69R, and 122R; and
[0288] 15)71K, 121Q, 168L, 171G, 56R, 59R, 69R, 122R, 180E.
[0289] In certain embodiments, FGF21 comprises or consists of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 37-46 and 118-119.
[0290] In certain embodiments, the conjugatable residue in FGF21 comprises or consists of cysteine.
[0291] Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that the cysteine residues at positions 75 and 93 in FGF21 relative to SEQ ID NO: 36 are non-conjugable residues. The two cysteine residues form an intramolecular disulfide bond in mature FGF21 and are therefore inaccessible to the conjugating agent in the conjugation reaction.

[0494] The CRM has the following structure:
[0495]
[0496] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[0497] In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method of producing a conjugate provided herein, comprising conjugating a clearance reducing moiety to a fusion polypeptide provided herein.
[0498] The CRM can be linked to the fusion polypeptide or polypeptide complex by covalent binding, affinity binding, embedding, coordination binding, complexing, association, blending or addition.
[0499] In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide can be linked to the CRM directly or indirectly, such as through another moiety or through a coupling agent.
[0500] The fusion polypeptide can be conjugated at, for example, a lysine residue, a cysteine residue or an unnatural amino acid by a suitable conjugation reaction.
[0501] For example, a fusion polypeptide with a conjugated residue (such as lysine) can react with an amino-reactive reagent. In certain embodiments, CRM is conjugated to a conjugated lysine residue via an acyl group in an acylation reaction. Exemplary methods of acylation reactions are described in, for example, WO2009083549 and WO2010029159, the contents of which are incorporated herein in their entirety. The CRM to be conjugated in the acylation reaction can contain a carboxylic acid group, an α, ω-fatty diacid residue, an activated ester, or an activated N-hydroxyimide ester. Examples of activated esters include O-succinimide reagents, such as N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) or sulfo-NHS esters and imidoester compounds, such as Traut's reagent, which can react with the ε-amino group of a conjugated lysine residue to form an amide or amidine bond. Additional examples of suitable amino-reactive reagents include O-acylisoureas, N-hydroxytriazole esters, acid anhydrides, phenyl-activated esters, P-hydroxamate-activated esters, acyl imidazoles, acylbenzotriazoles, acyl azides, acyl halides, phosphonium salts, and ammonium / uronium salts.
[0502] For another example, a fusion polypeptide having a conjugated residue (such as cysteine) can be linked to a thiol-reactive reagent. In certain embodiments, the CRM is conjugated to a conjugated cysteine residue via maleimide or iodoacetamide to form a carbon-sulfur bond. In certain embodiments, the CRM is conjugated to a conjugated cysteine residue via a disulfide to form a disulfide bond. Additional examples of suitable thiol-reactive groups include dienyl sulfones, α-haloacyl groups, or other thiol-reactive conjugation partners. For details, see Haugland, 2003, Molecular Probes Handbook of Fluorescent Probes and Research Chemicals, Molecular Probes, Inc.; Brinkley, 1992, Bioconjugate Chem. 3:2; Garman, 1997, Non-Radioactive Labelling: A Practical Approach, Academic Press, London; Means (1990) Bioconjugate Chemistry 1:2; Hermanson, G. in Bioconjugate Techniques (1996) Academic Press, San Diego, pp. 40-55, 643-671.
[0503] For example, a fusion polypeptide having a conjugable residue (such as an NNAA) can be conjugated to a CRM such that a stable linkage can be formed between the NNAA of the fusion polypeptide and the CRM. For example, an NNAA containing a keto or aldehyde or β-diketone moiety can react with a reagent containing a hydrazide or O-alkylhydroxylamine, hydroxylamine to form a hydrazone or O-alkylated oxime bond. For another example, an NNAA containing an azide group can react with an alkyne derivative to form a stable triazole linker (and vice versa) via a copper (I)-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition. For another example, an NNAA containing an azide group can be linked to an appropriate water-soluble phosphine-containing reagent to form an amide bond via a Staudinger ligation. In addition, the thioester portion of the NNAA can react with an amine-containing reagent to form an amide bond. Fusion polypeptides provided herein incorporating NNAA can be conjugated to reagents by cycloaddition reactions, such as the (4+2) cycloaddition between a diene and a dienophile (Diels-Alder reaction), the (3+2) cycloaddition by a 1,3-dipolar Huisgen cycloaddition, and the (3+2) cycloaddition by a nitrone-olefin cycloaddition. Cycloaddition methods suitable for antibody conjugation have been described, for example, in WO05003294, US20120004183, WO06009901, WO07130453, and U.S. Patent No. 6,737,236.
[0504] For another example, the fusion polypeptide can be conjugated to biotin, which is then indirectly conjugated to a CRM, which is conjugated to avidin. For another example, the fusion polypeptide can be linked to a coupling agent, which is further linked to a CRM. Examples of coupling agents include bifunctional moieties such as N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP), succinimidyl-4-(N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC), iminothiolane (IT), bifunctional derivatives of iminoesters (such as dimethyl diimidoadipate hydrochloride), active esters (such as disuccinimidyl suberate), aldehydes (such as glutaraldehyde), bis-azido compounds (such as bis(p-azidobenzoyl)hexanediamine), bis-diazonium derivatives (such as bis-(p-diazoniumbenzoyl)-ethylenediamine), diisocyanates (such as 2,6-toluene diisocyanate), and bis-active fluorine compounds (such as 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene). Particularly preferred coupling agents include N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP) (Carlsson et al., Biochem. J. 173:723-737 (1978)) and N-succinimidyl-4-(2-pyridylthio) pentanoate (SPP) to provide disulfide bonds.
[0505] Additional methods for conjugating CRMs to fusion polypeptides are found in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,208,020; U.S. Pat. No. 6,4411,163; WO2005037992; WO2005081711; and WO2006 / 034488, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. Specific examples of methods for preparing the conjugates of the present disclosure are also included in the experimental section of this disclosure.
[0506] The fusion polypeptides and conjugates thereof provided herein have the combined benefits of two mechanisms of action and have synergistic effects against diabetes / NASH as well as additional benefits. The fusion polypeptides and conjugates provided herein provide better efficacy than semaglutide and FGF21 alone at much less systemic exposure, indicating a potentially better safety profile and a potentially improved therapeutic index.
[0507] Pharmaceutical composition
[0508] In another aspect, the present disclosure also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the fusion polypeptide conjugate provided herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[0509] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" indicates that the specified carrier, vehicle, diluent, excipient and / or salt is generally chemically and / or physically compatible with the other ingredients making up the formulation and physiologically compatible with the recipient thereof.
[0510] "Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to a component of a pharmaceutical formulation other than the active ingredient that is biologically active and non-toxic to the subject. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein may include, for example, pharmaceutically acceptable liquid, gel or solid carriers, aqueous vehicles, non-aqueous vehicles, antimicrobial agents, isotonic agents, buffers, antioxidants, anesthetics, suspending / dispersing agents, sequestering / chelating agents, diluents, adjuvants, excipients or non-toxic auxiliary substances, other components known in the art, or various combinations thereof.

As disclosed herein, one or more antioxidants (such as methionine) are included in the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein to reduce oxidation of the polypeptide complex or bispecific polypeptide complex. This reduction in oxidation prevents or reduces the loss of binding affinity, thereby improving the stability of the protein and extending the shelf life to the greatest extent. Therefore, in certain embodiments, a composition comprising a fusion polypeptide, polypeptide complex or conjugate disclosed herein and one or more antioxidants (such as methionine) is provided.
[0512] For further illustration, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may include, for example, aqueous vehicles such as sodium chloride injection, Ringer's injection, injection), isotonic dextrose injection, sterile water injection, or dextrose and lactated Ringer's injection; non-aqueous vehicles, such as fixed oils of vegetable origin, cottonseed oil, corn oil, sesame oil, or peanut oil; antimicrobial agents at bacteriostatic or fungistatic concentrations; isotonic agents, such as sodium chloride or dextrose; buffers, such as phosphate or citrate buffers; antioxidants, such as sodium bisulfate; local anesthetics, such as procaine hydrochloride; suspending and dispersing agents, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, or polyvinylpyrrolidone; emulsifiers, such as polysorbate 80 (TWEEN-80); chelating agents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA), ethanol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, citric acid, or lactic acid. Antimicrobial agents used as carriers can be added to pharmaceutical compositions in multidose containers and include phenol or cresol, mercurials, benzyl alcohol, chlorobutanol, methyl and propyl parabens, thimerosal, benzalkonium chloride, and benzethonium chloride. Suitable excipients can include, for example, water, normal saline, dextrose, glycerol, or ethanol. Suitable nontoxic auxiliary substances can include, for example, wetting agents or emulsifiers, pH buffers, stabilizers, solubility enhancers, or reagents such as sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate, or cyclodextrins.

Unless explicitly limited, the term encompasses polynucleotides containing known analogs of natural nucleotides, which have binding properties similar to reference nucleic acids and are metabolized in a manner similar to naturally occurring nucleotides. Unless otherwise indicated, a specific polynucleotide sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof (e.g., degenerate codon substitutions), alleles, orthologs, SNPs, and complementary sequences, as well as sequences explicitly indicated. Specifically, degenerate codon substitutions can be achieved by generating sequences in which the third position of one or more selected (or all) codons is substituted with mixed-base and / or deoxyinosine residues (see Batzer et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 19:5081 (1991); Ohtsuka et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260:2605-2608 (1985); and Rossolini et al., Mol. Cell. Probes 8:91-98 (1994)).
[0535] Nucleic acids or polynucleotides encoding the fusion polypeptides described herein can be constructed using recombinant techniques. To this end, DNA encoding a GLP-1 polypeptide and DNA encoding an FGF21 polypeptide can be obtained and operably linked to allow transcription and expression in a host cell to produce the fusion polypeptide. A polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide linker can also be operably linked to allow expression of the desired product.
[0536] The encoding polynucleotide sequence may further be operably linked to one or more regulatory sequences, optionally in an expression vector, so that expression or production of the fusion polypeptide is enabled and under appropriate control.

[0539] In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a vector comprising a polynucleotide provided herein.
[0540] The vector comprising the polynucleotide sequence provided herein can be introduced into a host cell for cloning or gene expression. As used herein, the phrase "host cell" refers to a cell into which an exogenous polynucleotide and / or vector has been introduced. In other embodiments, the vector is extrachromosomal. If necessary, the host cell can be isolated. In certain embodiments, the host cell is a prokaryotic cell or a eukaryotic cell.
[0541] Suitable host cells for cloning or expressing the DNA in the vectors herein are primarily prokaryotes. Suitable prokaryotes for this purpose include eubacteria, such as Gram-negative or Gram-positive organisms, for example, Enterobacteriaceae, such as Escherichia, for example Escherichia coli; Enterobacter; Erwinia; Klebsiella; Proteus; Salmonella, for example Salmonella typhimurium; Serratia, for example Serratia marcescens. marcescans); and Shigella, and Bacilli, such as Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis; Pseudomonas, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and Streptomyces. In some embodiments, the host cell is a eukaryotic organism, such as yeast and mammalian cells (e.g., immortalized mammalian cells).
[0542] Any suitable method known to those skilled in the art, such as transformation, transfection or transduction, can be used to introduce a vector comprising a polynucleotide sequence as provided herein into a host cell.

[0546] In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a method of expressing a fusion polypeptide as described herein, comprising culturing a host cell provided herein under conditions whereby the fusion polypeptide as described herein is expressed.
[0547] In certain embodiments, the fusion polypeptide is expressed as inclusion bodies. In certain embodiments, the method further comprises renaturing the fusion polypeptide from the inclusion bodies.
[0548] When using recombinant technology, fusion polypeptides as described herein can be produced in the intracellular, periplasmic space, or directly secreted into the culture medium. If the product is produced in the cell, then as a first step, the microparticle debris of the host cell or cleavage fragments is removed, for example, by centrifugation or ultrafiltration. Carter et al., " Biotechnology (Bio / Technology) " 10:163-167 (1992) describes a program for separating proteins secreted into the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli. In simple terms, the cell paste is thawed in the presence of sodium acetate (pH 3.5), EDTA and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) through about 30min. Cell debris can be removed by centrifugation. In the case where the product is secreted into the culture medium, generally first a commercially available protein concentration filter is used, such as Amicon (Amicon) or Millipore (Millipore) Pellicon ultrafiltration unit is concentrated from the supernatant of this type of expression system. Protease inhibitors, such as PMSF, can be included in any of the aforementioned steps to inhibit proteolysis, and antibiotics can be included to prevent the growth of foreign contaminants.
[0549] In certain embodiments, the method further comprises isolating the fusion polypeptide.
[0550] Fusion polypeptides as described herein produced by cells can be purified using, for example, hydroxyapatite chromatography, gel electrophoresis, dialysis, DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography, ammonium sulfate precipitation, salting out, and affinity chromatography.
[0551] Other techniques for protein purification, such as ion exchange column fractionation, ethanol precipitation, reversed-phase HPLC, silica gel chromatography, heparin SEPHAROSE TM Chromatography, chromatography on anion or cation exchange resins (such as polyaspartic acid columns), chromatographing, SDS-PAGE, and ammonium sulfate precipitation are also useful, depending on the protein to be recovered.

[0762] Example
[0763] Example 1: Recombinant expression of fusion protein
[0764] The GLP-1 / FGF21 fusion proteins listed in Table 1 were produced in a bacterial E. coli expression system using a BL21(DE3) derivative strain. DNA encoding the GLP-1 / FGF21 fusion precursors was codon-optimized for E. coli expression, synthesized de novo, and subcloned into a pET-derived expression vector (Novagen). Amino acid substitutions were made by modifying the corresponding genetic code. When the cell density reached an OD600 of 2.0 in Terrific Broth (TB) medium, overexpression of the GLP-1 / FGF21 precursors as inclusion bodies was induced with 0.5 mM isopropyl bd-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Cells were harvested after 20-22 hours of protein induction at 37°C. The quality of the inclusion bodies was analyzed by microscopic imaging.
[0765] Example 2: Refolding and purification
[0766] Cells are collected and lysed by a cell crusher (900 bar, twice). The insoluble portion containing the fusion protein is collected and washed twice by centrifugation (8,000 × g, 30 min). 6M urea and 10mM DTT buffer are then used to dissolve the inclusion bodies. After 0.5 hour, the solution is diluted with refolding buffer and stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. After removing the label by protease, the protein is loaded onto an anion exchange chromatography using Q Sepharose fast flow resin (GE Healthcare), and further refined by anion exchange chromatography using SuperQ-5PW resin (TOSOH). The sample in each step is characterized by LC / MS to confirm the correct molecular weight.
[0767] Example 3: Preparation of fusion protein conjugates
[0768] To a solution of GLP1 / FGF21 fusion protein (75 mg) in NaOH or Tris buffer, CRM reagent (i.e., HOOC-(CH2)16-CO-gGlu-2XADO, HOOC-(CH2)16-CO-gGlu-2XADO-EDA-CO-CH2, or HOOC-(CH2)20-CO-gGlu-2XADO-EDA-CO-CH2) (6 mg or 12 mg) in an organic solvent was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The product was then subjected to anion exchange chromatography using Source 30Q resin (GE Healthcare).
[0769] The conjugated fusion proteins were detected and characterized by LC-MS using a Waters BioAccord LC-MS system or by UPLC using a Waters Acquity UPLC system, following the supplier's manual and using conditions optimized for the different conjugates (as shown in Table 2).
[0770] Example 4: In vitro activity of exemplary fusion protein conjugates.
[0771] method:
[0772] The in vitro GLP-1 activity of some exemplary fusion protein conjugates was measured using a BHK cell line overexpressing the human GLP-1 receptor and a CRE luciferase reporter. The test fusion protein conjugates were measured in 3-fold serial dilutions at a maximum concentration of 1 nM. After treating the cells with the fusion protein conjugate for 4 hours, luciferase activity was measured by the Steadylite plus kit (PerkinElmer, 6066751). Semaglutide was tested as a control under parallel conditions. Semaglutide was purchased from Novo Nordisk, batch JP51144. According to the product label, semaglutide is a human GLP-1 analog conjugated to HOOC-(CH2)16-CO-gGlu-2XADO at residue 26 (lysine).
[0773] The in vitro FGF21 activity of the exemplary fusion protein conjugates was assessed using a HEK293 cell line overexpressing human β-Klotho. The test fusion protein conjugates were measured in 3-fold serial dilutions at a maximum concentration of 200 nM. After treating the cells with the fusion protein conjugates for 5 min, p-ERK levels were measured using a p-ERK kit (Cisbio, 64ERKPEH).
[0774] The activity of each exemplary fusion protein conjugate was determined by the EC derived from nonlinear regression analysis. 50 express.
[0775] in conclusion:
[0776] The exemplary fusion protein conjugates showed GLP-1 activity that was 3-9 times less potent than semaglutide, and FGF21 activity of similar or equal magnitude compared to native FGF21 (Table 3).
[0777] Table 3: In vitro activities of exemplary fusion protein conjugates.
[0778]
[0779]
[0780] Example 5: In vivo activity of exemplary fusion protein conjugates.
[0781] method:
[0782] 10 week old male C57BL / 6 mice were injected subcutaneously with 30nmol / kg exemplary fusion protein conjugate every day for 10 or 14 days (n=5). The body weight of each individual animal was monitored every day. Day 1 and day 10 (or day 14) were the first and last day of the molecule dose. BW reduction %=100*(BW of the nth day - BW of the 1st day) / (BW of the 1st day). Data are indicated as mean and standard error (SEM) or combined values. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA. The weight loss on day 11 in Table 5 was calculated by -1*(BW reduction %-BW reduction % of vehicle group).
[0783] Table 5 Weight loss of C57BL / 6 mice on day 11
[0784]
[0785]
[0786] in conclusion:
[0787] All tested exemplary fusion protein conjugates (Compounds 4, 5, and 10) exhibited more enhanced and sustained weight loss compared to semaglutide during the 10-day dosing period ( Figures 1A-1B During the 14-day dosing period, all tested exemplary fusion protein conjugates (Compounds 2 and 9-15) exhibited more enhanced and sustained weight loss compared to semaglutide ( Figures 1C-1D All tested exemplary fusion protein conjugates (Compounds 19-22) exhibited sustained weight loss compared to vehicle control ( Figures 1E-1F All tested molecules in Table 5 showed better weight loss efficacy than semaglutide. However, compared with compounds 10 and 13, compound 14 exhibited lower weight loss efficacy, indicating that negatively charged linkers may have an adverse effect on fusion protein activity.
[0788] Example 6: Pharmacokinetic Measurements of Exemplary Fusion Protein Conjugates
[0789] method:
[0790] 6-8 week old male C57BL / 6 mice were administered a single subcutaneous dose of 30 nmol / kg of exemplary fusion protein conjugates (compounds 4, 9, 10, 19, 63) or non-acylated fusion protein (i.e., compound 3, which has the same amino acid sequence as compound 2 but without any conjugation) (n=3 / group). Plasma samples were collected before (-5 min), 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 12 h, and 24 h after injection. For compound 3, plasma collection time points were -5 min, 0.25 h, 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 6 h. The concentration of fusion protein conjugates or non-acylated fusion proteins in plasma was measured by ELISA analysis with immunoreactivity against both the C-terminal FGF21 and the intact N-terminus of GLP-1. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by WinNonlin based on plots showing plasma concentrations of each protein versus time after subcutaneous injection.
[0791] in conclusion:
[0792] Acylated fusion protein conjugates including compounds 4, 9, 10, 19, and 63 showed longer T than the non-acylated fusion protein (i.e., compound 3). 1 / 2 and greater AUC, indicating that CRM conjugation improved the pharmacokinetic profile. In addition, diacylation significantly prolonged the half-life of the protein conjugate compared to the monoacylated molecule (diacylated compounds 4 and 19 compared to monoacylated compounds 9 and 10). Compounds 4 and 19 also showed better pharmacokinetic properties than semaglutide ( Figure 2 and Table 4 ).
[0793] Table 4: Pharmacokinetic parameters.
[0794]
[0795] Pharmacokinetic data were analyzed by WinNonlin software. Tmax, Cmax, Tmax and Tmax of each molecule were calculated. 1 / 2 , AUC and MRT.
[0796] Example 7. Comparison of GLP-1 / FGF21 fusion protein conjugate with GLP1 alone and FGF21 alone.
[0797] method:
[0798] 17-week-old DIO male C57BL / 6 mice (approximately 45 g) were subcutaneously injected with the designated protein (i.e., compounds 63, 69, and 70) daily for 21 days. Body weight was measured daily, and five animals were used per treatment group. Day 1 and day 21 were the first and last days of molecule dosing. BW reduction % = 100 * (BW on day n - BW on day 1) / (BW on day 1). Data are presented as mean and standard error (SEM).
[0799] in conclusion:
[0800] like Figures 3A-3B As shown in , compound 63 at both 10 nmol / kg and 30 nmol / kg showed better body weight control than GLP1 alone (compound 70) and FGF21 alone (compound 69), indicating that there is an additive or synergistic effect when combining GLP1 and FGF21.
[0801] Example 8 Efficacy studies in disease models
[0802] The selected fusion protein conjugates were evaluated in disease animal models (DIO mice, db / db mice, NASH models, etc.) to determine body weight, food intake, glucose efficiency, and dose response. Several biomarkers were also measured, including fasting insulin, plasma triglycerides, and liver triglycerides.
[0803] method:
[0804] 17-week-old DIO male C57BL / 6 mice (about 45g) were subcutaneously injected with the specified protein (i.e., compound 63) every day for 21 days. Body weight was measured every day, and five animals were used for each treatment group. Fasting blood glucose was also monitored on the specified day. The body weight and glucose of each individual animal were monitored. Day 1 and day 21 were the first and last days of the molecular dose. BW reduction %=100*(BW on the nth day - BW on the 1st day) / (BW on the 1st day). Terminal blood was collected, and EDTA-2k plasma was prepared and frozen at -80°C for biomarker measurement. Liver was also collected and frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C.
[0805] Data are presented as mean and standard error (SEM). Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA.
[0806] in conclusion:
[0807] Figures 4A-4F Compound 63 at 30 nmol / kg was shown to provide better body weight and glycemic control and lipid profiles than semaglutide at 30 nmol / kg. Dose-dependent efficacy was also observed when comparing the 10 nmol / kg and 30 nmol / kg results.
[0808] Example 9: PK studies in non-human primates.
[0809] The pharmacokinetics of selected fusion protein conjugates were evaluated in monkeys by subcutaneous and intravenous injections, respectively.
[0810] Example 10: Stability study.
[0811] To test stability, different conjugate fusion proteins were formulated in buffers with different compositions (pH 6, 7, 7.4, and 8.0) and stored at 4° C. for 2-4 weeks. HMWP% and LMW% were analyzed by size exclusion chromatography (SEC)-HPLC. Concentration and modification were analyzed by reverse phase (RP)-UPLC and LC / MS.
[0812] Example 11: Immunogenicity assessment.
[0813] The immunogenicity of selected fusion protein conjugates was also assessed by in silico (iTope and TCED methods) and ex vivo (EpiScreen) methods.
