Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of medicine and biotechnology, and specifically to a novel synthesis process of Urantide polypeptide. Background Art

[0002] Urantide: Asp-{Pen}-Phe-{d-Trp}-{Orn}-Tyr-Cys-Val (Disulfide bridge: Pen2-Cys7) (see the related structure in the appendix Figure 1 ).

[0003] Urantide is a peptide-based UT receptor antagonist derived from hUⅡ (Urotensin Ⅱ). Urotensin Ⅱ is a growth hormone-like neuropeptide that was initially isolated from the caudal part of the spinal cord of teleost fish and was later found to be widespread in mammals including humans, and is widely distributed in the spinal cord, brain tissue, and cardiovascular tissue.

[0004] The application of Urantide mainly focuses on its protective effect on myocardial ischemia and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Studies have shown that urantide can reduce membrane lipid peroxidation, increase NO production, reduce calcium overload, etc., thus having a protective effect on the heart muscle.

[0005] In addition, Urantide is also used in the field of scientific research and development. Especially in the research and development of multiple scientific fields such as cancer, immunology, cardiovascular system, respiration, neuroscience, etc., due to the specific chemical structure and properties of Urantide, it can be used as a potential target or tool for studying the disease mechanisms and drug action mechanisms in these fields.

[0006] As a polypeptide drug, the synthesis process of Urantide is relatively complex and requires precise amino acid sequences and specific chemical modifications, which increases the difficulty and cost of production. The synthesis of polypeptide drugs usually requires high-quality raw materials and advanced production equipment, all of which will increase the production cost.

[0007] The current Urantide production scheme on the market is based on the SPPS polypeptide synthesis process, and the target product is oxidized by the air oxidation method, such as the application of Urantide disclosed in Chinese Patent Authorization Publication No. CN104189884A.

[0008] Existing production schemes for Urantide basically adopt the chemical SPPS process. After the polypeptide sequence is completed, the polypeptide is dissolved under weakly alkaline conditions and stirred in air until oxidation is completed. For this process, the present invention has conducted multiple experiments, which prove that there is peptide chain breakage in the Urantide polypeptide before oxidation, with special cleavage sites. At the same time, the oxidation scheme is not satisfactory, and more impurities are generated after oxidation (see appendix Figure 2 ). This is not conducive to large-scale production.

[0009] Therefore, on this basis, the present invention proposes a new synthesis process for Urantide polypeptide. Summary of the Invention
