AI Technical Summary
The lack of long-acting dual agonists of amylin receptor and calcitonin receptor in the prior art leads to poor efficacy in treating metabolic diseases, and the short half-life of polypeptide drugs and low bioavailability, resulting in patients requiring frequent injections.
By introducing residues that link the side chain containing the -SH or -NH2 in two-point mutation at the polypeptide chain, and performing side chain double-site fixation modification through macrocyclization reactions, the dominant binding conformation of the polypeptide is locked, thereby improving the stability of the polypeptide and receptor binding activity.
The peptide has both activation activity on amylin receptor and calcitonin receptor, which extends the in vivo half-life of the peptide, reduces the tendency of aggregation fibrosis, and improves the stability and therapeutic effect of the drug.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biopharmaceuticals, and particularly relates to a polypeptide or its analog and its application. More particularly, it relates to a polypeptide or its derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that simultaneously has activation activity on amylin receptor (AMYR) and calcitonin receptor (CTR), a pharmaceutical composition, and their uses. Background Art
[0002] The continuous increase in the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) has led to a lack of effective means. At the same time, obesity and T2D patients are often accompanied by a high risk of inducing cardiovascular diseases and the influence of other metabolic complications, which makes the safe use of drugs complicated. In addition to changes in diet and lifestyle, current bariatric surgery can effectively relieve obesity and T2DM. However, the surgery is accompanied by risks and irreversible physical changes. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel and more effective drug treatment methods to achieve blood glucose control and weight management.
[0003] Amylin is a pancreatic hormone composed of 37 amino acids, which is secreted by pancreatic islet β cells together with insulin and plays a role in satiety, gastric emptying, and glucagon secretion. Amylin controls satiety signals by directly acting on the amylin receptor (AMYR) in the brain. Currently, three amylin receptor subtypes are known to exist, namely Amy1R, Amy2R, and Amy3R. Studies have shown that Amy1R is related to lipid metabolism, while Amy3R is responsible for blood glucose regulation. Amylin is also an effective inhibitor of gastric emptying and can further inhibit glucagon secretion through a central mechanism.
[0004] Calcitonin is a 32 - amino acid peptide secreted by thyroid C cells. Calcitonin acts on the calcitonin receptor (CTR) and plays a role in reducing blood calcium by inhibiting osteoclasts and promoting renal calcium excretion.
[0005] Studies have shown that co - activation of the amylin receptor and the calcitonin receptor has a positive metabolic promoting effect, which can effectively reduce blood glucose levels and body weight. Developing long - acting dual agonists of the amylin receptor and the calcitonin receptor is expected to provide an effective drug for treating metabolic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, non - alcoholic fatty liver (NASH), dyslipidemia, etc. Currently, no long - acting dual agonists of the amylin receptor and the calcitonin receptor (DACRA) have been approved. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a polypeptide or its analog that can simultaneously have activation activity on the amylin receptor (AMYR) and the calcitonin receptor (CTR). Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art to at least a certain extent. To this end, the present invention provides a polypeptide or an analogue thereof, which has activation activity for amylin receptor (AMYR) and calcitonin receptor (CTR) simultaneously.
[0007] The present invention is completed based on the following findings of the inventors:
[0008] Some long-acting amylin analogues are in the clinical research stage and show certain advantages in the treatment of metabolic diseases. Pramlintide is an amylin analogue, which is approved for combination use with insulin treatment to improve insulin sensitivity in diabetic patients and assist in reducing blood glucose. However, the in vivo half-life of this drug is less than 1 hour, so patients need to inject it multiple times daily with meals, causing inconvenience. Moreover, due to its structural characteristics, amylin analogues are prone to fibrotic aggregation in vivo and in vitro, resulting in harsh storage conditions and potential immunogenic risks.
[0009] Salmon calcitonin (sCT) is used in diseases such as hypercalcemia, osteoporosis, and Paget's disease. Recent studies have shown that calcitonin also has other metabolic benefits, such as affecting insulin sensitivity, reducing gastric emptying rate, and promoting satiety. However, its in vivo half-life is short and it needs to be administered subcutaneously multiple times a day, resulting in poor patient compliance. And sCT has poor stability and is prone to aggregation and precipitation, causing immunogenic reactions, and there are safety problems.
[0010] The development of polypeptide drugs is often hindered by short half-life, low bioavailability, etc. Patients often receive higher doses of therapeutic drugs more frequently, which may lead to reduced compliance, increased costs, and increased risk of side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to develop therapeutic agents with an extended half-life.
[0011] Based on this, the method of the present invention introduces residues containing -SH or -NH 2 side chains (including but not limited to cysteine (C or c) or lysine (K or k)) at two points of mutation in the polypeptide chain, and performs side chain dual-site fixation modification through macrocyclization reaction to lock the advantageous binding conformation of the target polypeptide. Compared with traditional polypeptide drugs, this strategy can reduce the tendency of aggregation and fibrosis, which is beneficial to further improving the stability and receptor binding activity of the target polypeptide.
[0012] Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, the present invention proposes a polypeptide or a derivative thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the polypeptide or a derivative thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has the structure shown in formula (I):
[0013] U-X1 SHX 4 SX 6 X 7 X 8 X 9 X 10 X 11 X 12 X 13 X 14 X 15 X 16 X 17 X 18 X 19 X 20 DX 22 PX 24 TDVGAGSX 32 -NH 2 (I);

Dilute the polypeptide derivatives (i.e., AMY-001 to AMY-041) prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 5-fold starting from a maximum of 1000 nM to prepare a dilution series containing 8-11 concentration gradients. Select Cagrilintide and sCT as test positive control substances and prepare dilution series for testing in the same manner. Select the test cell lines, digest them with cAMP-specific trypsin, add 3 mL of serum-free DMEM medium and pipette to suspend, and count the cells. Sequentially add 5 μL IBMX (prepared with serum-free DMEM medium, 0.5 mM), test cells (5 μL / 7500 cells / well) to the 384-well plate, incubate at 37 °C and 5% carbon dioxide for 30 minutes, then add cAMP-d2 (5 μL, 1x) and Anti-cAMP-Cryptate (5 μL, 1x), place at room temperature for 1 hour, and measure the HTRF value with a chemiluminescence microplate reader and record the measurement results.

The SD rats were randomly divided into groups of 4 rats per group and 2 rats per cage for adaptive feeding for 1 week, during which they maintained a normal diet and free drinking water. After the pre-adaptation of the animals, the basal blood glucose value and body weight of each rat were detected before administration (Day 0), and then the vehicle control (Vehicle) and three doses of the polypeptide derivatives prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 of the present invention (i.e., AMY-001 to AMY-041) (3nmol / kg, 10nmol / kg, 30nmol / kg) were respectively given by subcutaneous injection (sc) according to the experimental grouping, and normal diet and drinking water were given after the administration. The body weight of each rat and the total daily food intake of each group of rats were respectively detected on Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 after administration, and the body weight of each rat (% initial value) and the cumulative food intake change value of each group of rats were calculated, and the curve was drawn. The results showed that the compound of the present invention can reduce the body weight and food intake of rats. The results of AMY-015 are shown in this test example. Figure 6 Test Example 4: Changes in body weight, blood sugar and food intake after continuous administration in DIO rat model
[0500] Adult male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 200-250g were selected for the experiment. They were fed a high-fat diet for 16 weeks and weighed about 600-700g. The rats were randomly divided into groups, 5 rats in each group, and fed in individual cages for adaptive feeding for 1 week. During this period, they maintained a normal diet and free drinking water. After the pre-adaptation of the animals, the basal body weight of each rat was tested before administration (Day 0), and then the vehicle control (Vehicle), Cagrilintide (1nmol / kg, 3nmol / kg, 10nmol / kg, Q2D), and AMY-015 (1nmol / kg, 3nmol / kg, 10nmol / kg, Q2D) were respectively given by subcutaneous injection (sc). After the end of the administration, normal high-fat diet and drinking water were given. The body weight of each rat and the total daily food intake of each group of rats were measured on Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 after administration, and the body weight of each rat (% of the initial value) and the change in the total daily food intake of each group of rats were calculated. The curve was drawn. The results showed that the compound of the present invention can reduce the body weight and food intake of rats. The results of AMY-015 are exemplified in this test example, see Figure 7 .
[0501] Test Example 5: Changes in body weight and adipose tissue in DIO rat model after continuous administration of either single or combined administration of semaglutide
[0502] Adult male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 200-250g were selected for the experiment and fed a high-fat diet for 20 weeks, reaching a weight of about 600-700g. The rats were randomly divided into groups, 7 rats in each group, and fed in individual cages for adaptive feeding for 1 week, during which they maintained a normal diet and free access to water. After the pre-adaptation of the animals, the basal blood glucose and body weight of each mouse were tested before administration (Day 0), and then the vehicle control (Vehicle), Semaglutide (10nmol / kg, QD), Cagrilintide (10nmol / kg, Q2D), AMY-015 (10nmol / kg, Q2D), and Semaglutide (10nmol / kg, QD) combined with AMY-015 (10nmol / kg, Q2D) were given by subcutaneous injection (sc) for 21 consecutive days. The body weight of each rat and the total daily food intake of each group of rats were tested every day after administration, and the body weight (% of the initial value) and the change value of the total daily food intake of each rat group were calculated, and the curve was drawn. After the administration, blood and adipose tissue were dissected, the adipose tissue was weighed, and the biochemical indicators in the blood were detected. The results show that the compound of the present invention has a better weight loss effect than Cagrilintide, and combined with semaglutide, it can more effectively reduce the body weight and food intake of rats, and protect muscle from loss to a certain extent. The results of AMY-015 are exemplified in this test example, see Figure 8 Test Example 6: Changes in body weight, blood sugar and food intake after continuous administration in ZDF rat model
[0503] The experiment used adult male ZDF rats, weighing 350-400g, and fed with diabetic modeling feed. The rats were randomly divided into groups, with 8 rats in each group, and were fed in individual cages for adaptive feeding for 1 week. During this period, they maintained a normal diet and had free access to water. After the pre-adaptation of the animals, the basal blood sugar and body weight of each rat were tested before administration (Day 0), and then the vehicle control (Vehicle), Cagrilintide (30nmol / kg, Q2D), and AMY-015 (30nmol / kg, Q2D) were given subcutaneously (sc) for 28 consecutive days. The blood sugar level of each rat was tested once every two days after administration, the change in blood sugar (% initial value) of each rat was calculated, and the blood sugar-time curve was drawn. The results show that the compound of the present invention can lower blood sugar in rats, which is better than Cagrilintide. The results of AMY-015 are exemplified in this test example, see Figure 9 .
