Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411230649.2, filed on September 3, 2024, entitled “A Disulfide Ring Peptide Compound and Its Preparation Method and Application”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of weight loss and muscle gain, and in particular to a combination of a disulfide ring peptide compound and semaglutide and its application in the preparation of weight loss and muscle preservation and muscle gain drugs. BACKGROUND
[0003] Obesity is a chronic and complex disease characterized by excessive accumulation of fat in the body and adverse effects on health. According to the WHO definition of obesity, the standard for adult obesity is BMI≥30 kg / m 2 Obesity-related diseases include cardiometabolic diseases, digestive system diseases, respiratory system diseases, nervous system diseases, and infectious diseases, significantly increasing healthcare costs.
[0004] There are many types of clinically commonly used weight loss drugs. For example, the latest research on semaglutide shows that the average weight loss of the semaglutide group was 13.9% at week 52, which is better than the placebo group, and 81% of the patients' blood sugar returned to normal. After 28 weeks of drug withdrawal, the semaglutide group still maintained a 7.9% weight loss, and the proportion of blood sugar recovery was also higher than that of the placebo group. This indicates that semaglutide has weight loss and blood sugar recovery effects in patients with prediabetes combined with obesity, and the effects are long-lasting after drug withdrawal. For example, the latest clinical trial of the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) / GLP-1 receptor dual agonist tirzepatide shows that compared with placebo, tirzepatide treatment for 72 weeks can reduce the body weight of subjects by about 20%. Currently, GLP-1 / GIP / glucagon triple agonists, GLP-1 receptor agonists, tyrosine peptide (PYY), and amylin analogs that are still in the clinical drug research and development and clinical trial stages all play a role in weight loss and improving insulin resistance by activating gastrointestinal hormones to regulate central appetite, gastric emptying, and insulin secretion. In addition to new weight loss drugs that regulate gastrointestinal hormones, in recent years, new weight loss drugs targeting the central nervous system and peripheral target organs have also made rapid progress and are expected to be introduced into the clinic in the near future. In the field of central nervous system, tesofensine, as a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor, promotes weight loss by increasing satiety and reducing food intake, and clinical trials show that it has a significant weight loss effect.
[0005] Patent JP2008519008A discloses new peptide compounds, such as the following formula Ia-Ic:
[0006] They are effective in modulating one or more melanocortin receptor types, the use of the compounds in therapy, methods of treatment, including administering the compounds to a patient in need thereof, and involving the use of the compounds in the manufacture of a medicament. The compounds of the present invention are of particular interest in the treatment of obesity and as a variety of diseases or conditions associated with obesity.
[0007] Traditional anti-obesity drugs have certain therapeutic effects, but have obvious limitations. The administration mode is weekly injection and can easily cause adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. More seriously, it can lead to muscle loss, and muscle plays a key role in maintaining healthy weight and overall health.

[0047] The above compounds are used as experimental drugs, and the information is as follows:
[0048] Fat loss and muscle preservation and muscle gain effect detection: 1. Experimental animals Experimental animals: Beijing VRL Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. (VRL): C57BL / 6J male mice, 15 weeks old.
[0049] The feeding conditions are as follows: Temperature: 20-26℃; Humidity: 40-70%; Light cycle: 12 hours (7:00 am-19:00 pm); High-fat diet (HFD) feeding: Research Diets, D12492 (Protein: 20% Kcal. Fat: 60 %. Kcal. Carbohydrate: 20% Kcal); Drinking water is pure water (sterilized by high-pressure steam and used after sterilization); Free drinking and drinking water during feeding.
[0050] The high-fat (HFD) induction period of this experiment is 19 weeks, and the efficacy experiment lasts for 9 weeks. The efficacy experiment includes 1 week of screening and baseline collection (high-fat diet induction at week 11) and 8 weeks of treatment period. All obese mice are randomly divided into groups according to the body weight and body fat content during the baseline period before administration.
[0051] 2. Preparation of drug solution: 2.1 Preparation of compound drug solution: Solvent: PBS (Shanghai Shangbao Biotechnology Co., Ltd., T16551, 5012329), 0.01 M, pH 5.5.
[0052] An appropriate amount of compound powder is weighed and dissolved with the solvent to prepare the required concentration of drug solution, and ultrasonic dissolution is used. Prepare once every two to three days, and store the prepared drug solution at 2-8℃ (D0-D30 prepare once every three days, and D35-D53 prepare once every two days).
[0053] 2.2 Preparation of Semaglutide drug solution Solvent: normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride solution) (Shaanxi Shengao Animal Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., 2408083).
[0054] Drug solution preparation: dissolve Semaglutide powder with solvent to prepare 0.164 mg / mL stock solution, and divide the stock solution into multiple parts according to the weekly usage amount, and store them at -20℃. Semaglutide is prepared once a week, and the frozen compound solution is placed at 2-8℃ before preparation. Dilute with solvent to prepare the drug solution, and store the prepared drug solution at 2-8℃ for 1 week.
[0055] 2.3 Drug administration method The experimental period is 54 days, including D31-D34 and D50, and the drug administration time is 48 days.
[0056] The dosing schedule is as follows (when administered in combination, the two drugs are given consecutively with a short interval):
[0057] 2.4 Experimental Results (1) Body weight was measured at the following times: D-10, D0, D2, D4, D7, D9, D10, D11, D14, D16, D18, D21, D23, D25, D28, D30, D35, D37, D39, D42, D44, D47, D49, and D51 (the first day of administration of the test substance was defined as D0).
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the body weight of animals in the vehicle (PBS) group increased during the administration period, and by the end of the experiment, the body weight increased by 10.7% compared with the baseline value.
[0059] Compared with the Semaglutide alone group and the WP302-1 alone group, the weight loss effect of the WP302-1 and Semaglutide combination group was comparable to that of the Semaglutide alone group, but significantly stronger than that of the WP302-1 alone group. Statistical differences were detected in 13 of the 23 monitoring points.
[0060] (2) Feed intake Animals' daily feed intake fluctuates significantly, so cumulative feed intake is used to represent changes in animal feed intake. Animal feed intake was measured on a cage-by-cage basis, with 1-3 animals per group, so this indicator was not statistically analyzed.
[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the average daily feed intake of the vehicle (PBS) group did not fluctuate significantly, fluctuating around 2.7 g. After the first dose, the average daily feed intake of each treatment group decreased significantly. Among them, the group containing semaglutide saw the largest decrease, exceeding 70% compared to the baseline value. The other treatment groups saw a decrease of approximately 40% compared to the baseline value. After that, the animals' food intake gradually recovered.
[0062] (3) Body fat scan A QMR06-090H conscious small animal body composition analysis instrument (Suzhou Newmai Analytical Instrument Co., Ltd.) was used with a nuclear magnetic resonance frequency of ≤7 MHz, a coil diameter of 60 mm, and a magnet temperature of 32°C to record muscle and fat content.
[0063] Calculation method for rate of change: The data on the last day of dosing is used as the current value. After successful model establishment, the data on day 0 (before dosing) is used as the baseline value. The formula for calculating the relative baseline rate of change is: Relative baseline change = (Current value - Baseline value) / Baseline value × 100%.
[0064] At the end of the experiment, D49, when the body weights of animals in the Semaglutide alone group and the WP302-1 and Semaglutide combination group were similar, the combination group had lower fat content and higher lean meat content than the Semaglutide alone group.
[0065] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown in the figure, during the administration period, the lean meat content and fat content of the vehicle group increased with the increase of animal body weight. After correction with body weight, the lean meat percentage decreased and the fat percentage increased, which was consistent with the model trend of DIO animals.
[0066] The body weight of each treatment group decreased compared with the vehicle group, and the lean meat content and fat content were also correspondingly lower than those of the vehicle group. Compared with the vehicle group, the lean meat content of the group containing semaglutide was statistically different from that of the vehicle group, and the fat content of all treatment groups was significantly different from that of the vehicle group.
[0067] After correction for body weight, the lean meat percentage of all drug-treated groups was higher than that of the vehicle group, and the fat content percentage was significantly lower than that of the vehicle group. The lean meat percentage and fat content percentage of all groups were significantly different from those of the vehicle group.
[0068] At the end of the experiment, D49, the fat reduction rate of both the Semaglutide alone group and the WP302-1 and Semaglutide combination group was around 50%. However, the lean meat reduction rate of the WP302-1 and Semaglutide combination group was significantly lower than that of the Semaglutide alone group.
[0069] In summary, the disulfide cyclic peptide compound of the present invention and semaglutide have a synergistic fat-reducing effect when used in combination, further improving the fat-reducing effect. At the same time, it improves the disadvantage of semaglutide in causing muscle loss. The two complement each other and achieve a muscle-preserving effect while reducing fat.
[0070] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions of the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field do not deviate from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
