Abstract
Description
Human amylin analogs, derivatives and uses thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biomedicine or biopharmaceutical technology, and more specifically to human amylin analogs and derivatives and their use in treating and / or preventing diseases related to amylin or metabolism. Background Art
[0002] Amylin, also known as islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), is a member of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) family. It exerts its physiological functions by activating corresponding receptors and has many functions such as regulating blood sugar, controlling food intake, and regulating metabolism. However, amylin is easily fibrotic and forms amyloid deposits under neutral or alkaline conditions. At the same time, amylin has a short retention time in the blood, with a half-life of only about 13 minutes, which limits its use in the treatment of diseases. Therefore, the development of amylin analogs with better stability, longer half-life, and more obvious therapeutic effects is of great significance for the treatment of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity.
[0003] Pramlintide (also known as Symlin) is an amylin analog. By replacing amino acid residues 25, 28, and 29 with Pro, its stability in solution is improved. It is currently approved for the treatment of diabetes. However, pramlintide has a half-life of only approximately 48 minutes, requiring frequent injections to maintain efficacy. It easily aggregates and precipitates at neutral pH, limiting its combined use with other therapeutic drugs. WO2012162542A1 discloses a derivative of an amylin polypeptide analog that is substituted with lysine and linked to polyethylene glycol to extend the duration of action of amylin or its analog in the body. However, the PEGylated derivative has a significantly reduced affinity for the amylin receptor. Li-Mei Yan et al. (Proc Natl Acad Sci, 2006, 103(7):2046-2051) disclosed an amylin derivative, IAPP-GI, which improves its solubility by methylating 24-Gly and 26-Ile, but its activity is reduced compared to the wild-type. Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin derivative developed by Novo Nordisk and is currently in Phase II clinical trials.
[0004] Although the amylin analogs / derivatives in the prior art have been improved in terms of solubility, stability, half-life, activity, etc. compared with amylin, there are still technical problems such as insufficient in vivo efficacy and insufficient drug stability. Therefore, further improvement of amylin derivatives is still needed.

The qualified liquid sample is then freeze-dried under reduced pressure to obtain a powdered, purified polypeptide lyophilized powder.
[0134] The compounds described in Table 2 were prepared using methods and steps similar to those of the compound PD065 (Cagrilintide).
[0135] Example 2 In vitro efficacy test of amylin derivatives
[0136] The purpose of this study was to test the activity or potency of amylin derivatives at the human amylin receptor in vitro using a luciferase assay.
[0137] 2.1 Construction of the Amylin Receptor / CRE-luc Cell Line
[0138] Using standard methods, CHO-K1 / Ga15 / AMY3 cells (calcitonin receptor and receptor-activating modified peptide RAMP have been constructed and purchased from GenScript) were transfected with a plasmid containing multiple copies of a cAMP response element (CRE)-driven luciferase expression cassette and cultured in F12 medium containing Zeocin 200 ug / mL, puromycin (2 ug / mL), hygromycin (100 ug / mL) and G418 (400 ug / mL) to obtain a stably transfected amylin receptor / CRE-luc cell line.
[0139] 2.2 Amylin-luciferase assay
[0140] 50 μL of growth medium (F12 medium containing 10% FBS) was added to each well of a white 96-well plate, and stably transfected amylin / CRE-luc CHO cells were seeded into the white 96-well culture plate at a density of approximately 20,000 cells / well for activity assay.
[0141] The lyophilized powder obtained in Example 1 was dissolved in 20 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 and diluted with F12 medium containing 10% FBS to obtain an initial concentration of 100 nM of the derivative sample. The derivative sample was then graded diluted with F12 medium containing 10% FBS to obtain a concentration ranging from 100 nM to 100 nM. -5 Seven sample concentrations, each with a 10-fold difference in nM concentration, were added to each well. 50 μL of the sample assay solution of the corresponding concentration was added and incubated at 37°C and 5% CO₂ for 24 hours. Luciferase (100 μL) was then added to each well and incubated for 3 minutes. Luminescence was measured using SoftMax Pro 7.0.3 GxP software on a SpectraMax L (Molecular Devices). A standard curve was plotted based on the fluorescence values, and the EC₅₀ was calculated. The results are shown in Table 5.
[0142] Table 5.
[0143] The results in Table 5 show that the polypeptide derivatives of the present application have good activity against human amylin receptor.
[0144] Example 3 Freeze-thaw stability of derivatives
[0145] The lyophilized powder of the peptide analog derivative prepared in Example 1 was prepared by mixing the buffer solution at a mass-to-volume ratio of 0.2 mg / ml. The peptide was dissolved in 20 mM phosphate buffer (PB) (pH 7.0). The sample was stored at -20°C overnight and then removed and allowed to thaw at room temperature. During the experiment, changes in the peptide properties after dissolution and after freezing and thawing were observed and recorded. The peptide concentration before and after freeze-thaw was determined using the following liquid chromatography method:
[0146] Materials and equipment: High-performance liquid chromatography (Agilent 1200), ultrapure water (18.2 MΩ homemade ultrapure water), acetonitrile (HPLC grade), trifluoroacetic acid (HPLC grade); reversed-phase chromatography column: Sepax Bio-C4 4.6*100 mm 5 μm
[0147] Sample Preparation: Weigh a certain amount of peptide and dissolve it in 20mM PB, pH 7.4 buffer. If the solubility is poor, add a small amount of 0.1M NaOH to adjust the pH to 8.0 to completely dissolve it. Control the concentration between 0.5-2mg / ml. Take the sample to be tested and centrifuge it at 10,000 rpm, 4°C, for 3 minutes. Transfer the supernatant to a liquid phase injection vial.
[0148] Chromatographic conditions: Flow rate: 1.0 ml / min; Autosampler temperature: 15°C; Column temperature: 15°C; Detection wavelength: 280 nm; Mobile phase A: 100% H2O + 0.05% TFA; Mobile phase B: 100% ACN. Elution gradient is shown in the table below:
[0149] Table 6 Liquid chromatography elution gradient list
[0150] The freeze-thaw yield was calculated using the following formula: freeze-thaw yield = polypeptide concentration after freeze-thaw / polypeptide concentration before freeze-thaw.
[0151] Table 7
[0152] As shown in Table 7, most of the polypeptide derivatives of the present application have good freeze-thaw stability and yield.
[0153] Example 4: Stability study of derivatives at 40°C
[0154] Compounds PD065, PD069, PD070, PD071, and PD072 were mixed at 1.34 mg / ml with sodium dihydrogen phosphate (1.42 mg / ml) and dissolved in ultrapure water. The pH was adjusted to approximately 7.4 using hydrochloric acid / sodium hydroxide. The solution was then filtered through a 0.22 μm sterile filter in a clean bench and transferred into sterilized vials. The vials were capped and placed in a 40°C stability test chamber.
[0155] Before testing, the sample was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm, 4°C, for 3 min, and the supernatant was transferred to a liquid phase injection bottle. The liquid phase method in Example 3 was used for testing. The results are shown in Table 8 and Figure 1
[0156] Table 8
[0157] As shown in the results of Table 8, compared with the thermal stability change of PD065, the thermal stability of the polypeptide derivatives of the present application is basically equivalent to it, and surprisingly, the compound PD070 shows an extremely low percentage decrease in protein concentration.
[0158] Example 5 Study on the Weight Loss Efficacy of Derivatives
[0159] Sprague Dawley (SD) rats weighing 200-250 g were selected for this experimental study. Prior to the start of the experiment, the rats were allowed to acclimate to the experimental environment for at least 10-14 days. During this period, the rats were housed for two weeks on arrival under a reversed light / dark cycle (meaning the lights were off during the day and on at night) and housed individually for the first week of arrival to ensure data accuracy and high test sensitivity. The rats had free access to food and water throughout the acclimatization and experimental periods. The derivative test was divided into experimental groups A: A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, and Group B: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5. Each derivative test group consisted of 5-8 rats, and each group of rats was subcutaneously administered a 30 nmol / kg dose of the derivative or vehicle. The dosing time for each group was recorded. After dosing, the rats were returned to their home cages, where they had access to food and water. Food consumption and rat weight changes were recorded every 24 hours using online or manual recording.
[0160] The changes in body weight and food intake of SD mice in each group are shown in Figures 2A-2D and Tables 9-10.
[0161] Table 9
[0162] Table 10
[0163] The experimental results show that compared with the weight loss effect of PD065, the polypeptide derivatives of the present application show higher weight loss ability, even reaching more than twice the effect of PD065.
[0164] Example 6 Study on the effect of dosage of derivatives on weight loss
[0165] SD rats obtained using the same method as in Example 5 were used in this experimental study. The derivative test was divided into experimental groups C: C1-C13, and D: D1-D7, with 5-8 rats in each derivative test group. The rats in each group were subcutaneously administered with a dose of 10 nmol / kg, 20 nmol / kg, or 30 nmol / kg of the derivative or the vehicle, as described in Tables 11 and 12. The dosing time for each group was recorded. After dosing, the rats were returned to their home cages, where they had access to food and water. Food consumption and rat body weight changes were recorded every 24 hours by online recording or manual recording.
[0166] The changes in body weight and cumulative food intake of SD mice in each group are shown in Figures 3A-3D, 4A-4B and Tables 11 and 12.
[0167] Table 11
[0168] Table 12
[0169] Judging from the experimental results, the polypeptide derivative molecule of the present application has a better weight loss effect than PD065 (Cagrilintide) under the same conditions.
[0170] Example 7. Study of derivative fatty acid side chains
[0171] SD mice obtained using the same method as in Example 5 were used for this experimental study. The derivative test was divided into experimental group E: the weight loss effect of test compounds PD065 and PD187, and experimental group F, test compounds PD065, PD071, PD140, PD144, PD145, PD146 and PD147, with 5-8 rats in each derivative test group, and each group of rats was subcutaneously administered a 30nmol / kg dose of the derivative or solvent. The administration time of each group was recorded. After administration, the rats were returned to their home cages, and then food and water that they could obtain were placed in them. Food consumption and rat weight changes were recorded every 24 hours by online recording or manual recording. The results of experimental group E are shown in Figure 5A, and the results of experimental group F are shown in Figures 5B and 5C.
[0172] Animal experiment results showed that when the N-terminus was R (PD140), the activity was better than that of PD065.
[0173] To further evaluate the effect of fatty acid side chains on peptide activity, PD071 (SEQ ID NO. 3) was used as the peptide backbone. The results showed that when different fatty acid linkers were used, such as 2AEEA+C20 diacid (PD187), αAsp+C20 diacid (PD144), βAsp+C20 diacid (PD145), Trx+C20 diacid (PD146), and Inp+C20 diacid (PD147), their activities were all better than PD065.
[0174] Example 8: Preparation of Fatty Acid Side Chain-Containing Polypeptide Derivative Tablets
[0175] The polypeptide derivatives containing fatty acid side chains are prepared into oral tablets, which contain the same amount of oral delivery agent PNAC. The preparation method of PNAC is as follows:
[0176] N-[8-(2-Hydroxybenzoyl)amino]octanoic acid (NAC) was prepared according to the method described in Example 1 of International Patent Application WO2008 / 028859. Isopropyl alcohol (22070.0 ml, 4.0 vol) was added to a 50 L reactor. Stirring was initiated, and NAC (5518 g, 1.0 eq) was added. The system was heated to 50°C, and a 50% potassium hydroxide solution (1304.0 g, 1.0 eq) was added dropwise. The solution became a clear, transparent yellow solution, which was then maintained at 50°C for 1 h. The reaction solution was concentrated in batches at 40°C to yield a light orange-yellow crude product.
[0177] The crude product was slurried in isopropanol (19310.0 ml, 3.5 vol) for 1 hour. The mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was rinsed with isopropanol (2760.0 ml, 0.5 vol). The filter cake was transferred to a vacuum drying oven, dried at 60°C under nitrogen pressure for 16 hours, and then transferred to a vacuum drying oven at 100°C for 24 hours. After drying, 4.52 kg of the product (72.8% yield) was obtained as an off-white powdery solid, namely PNAC.
[0178] The contents of the main components in the fatty acid side chain-containing polypeptide derivative tablets are shown in Table 13:
[0179] Table 13: Examples of polypeptide derivative tablets prepared in this application
[0180] The preparation method of the polypeptide derivative tablet containing fatty acid side chains is as follows: the polypeptide derivative and PNAC are sieved, mixed evenly with auxiliary materials, and directly tableted.
[0181] Example 9: Study on the Pharmacokinetic (PK) Properties of Fatty Acid Side Chain-Containing Polypeptide Derivative Tablets
[0182] Male Beagle dogs (9-12 kg) aged 10-15 months were orally administered the oral tablets prepared in Example 4 once daily for 5 consecutive days. The dose of the fatty acid side chain-containing polypeptide derivatives (iePD065, PD187, PD183) administered was 7 mg / dog (n=5). The date of the first oral administration was designated as Day 1, and the date of the last oral administration was designated as Day 5. On Day 1, whole blood was collected from the animals before administration (-10 min) and 2, 4, and 8 hours after administration, and plasma was prepared (sodium heparin was used as the anticoagulant). On Days 2-4, whole blood was collected from the animals before administration (-10 min) and 2, 4 hours after administration, and plasma was prepared (sodium heparin was used as the anticoagulant). On Day 5, whole blood was collected from the animals before administration (-10 min) and 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours after administration, and plasma was prepared (sodium heparin was used as the anticoagulant). Plasma was stored at -80°C and used for subsequent analysis. Plasma drug content was analyzed using LC-MS / MS (Waters ACQUITY I Class Premier UPLC tandem with Sciex 6500+QQQ). Experimental data were plotted using GraphPad Prism 9.3.1. The plasma concentrations of the three peptide derivatives (iePD065, PD187, and PD183) measured at the indicated time points after administration of the three peptide derivative tablets are shown in Figure 6.
[0183] The charge-to-mass ratio is the ratio of the charge of a charged particle to its mass. The ion-to-charge-to-mass ratio used for PD065 is 1102.9 / 1074.5, the ion-to-charge-to-mass ratio used for PD187 is 1153 / 1120.9, and the ion-to-charge-to-mass ratio used for PD183 is 945.6 / 919.8.
[0184] The results shown in Figure 6 show that although compounds PD187 and PD183 both have superior weight loss efficacy, under the same delivery environment, their oral availability was not improved compared to the tablet group containing compound PD065; surprisingly, the compound PD183 molecule showed a special synergistic effect in the tablet of the delivery agent PNAC, demonstrating extremely high oral bioavailability.
[0185] Although the embodiments of the present application are described above, the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific embodiments and application fields. The above-mentioned specific embodiments are merely illustrative and instructive, and not restrictive. A person of ordinary skill in the art, under the guidance of this specification and without departing from the scope of protection of the claims of this application, can also make many forms, all of which fall within the scope of protection of this application.
