[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to and the benefit of China Patent Application No. 202110570030.6, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on May 24, 2021, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of biopharmaceuticals. In particular, the present invention relates to novel acylated insulin analogues. More particularly, the present invention relates to side chain compounds that can be used to prepare acylated insulin analogues, to acylated insulin analogues, and to pharmaceutical compositions, medical uses, methods of administration and methods of preparation thereof. [Background technology]
[0003] Treatment of both type I and type II diabetes is increasingly dependent on so-called intensive insulin therapy, under which patients are treated with multiple daily insulin injections, including using one or two long-acting insulin injections daily to meet basal insulin needs, supplemented with large amounts of fast-acting insulin to meet meal-related insulin needs.
[0004] Many diabetic patients require insulin injections two to four times a day, weekly, monthly and annually. Because patient compliance is low, long-term subcutaneous injections cause some damage to the skin, and the discomfort of daily large-volume injections can be alleviated by using longer-acting insulin analogs, there is a need for insulin analogs that can be injected at least once a week.
[0005] Although Chinese Patent No. 105636979 discloses new derivatives of insulin analogues, their duration of action is still not ideal, and there remains an urgent need for a basal insulin preparation that can be administered once a week or even less frequently.

[0037] In the process of describing the present invention, relevant terms in this article are explained and illustrated, but these are only for the convenience of understanding the scheme, and should not be considered as limitations on the protection scheme of the present invention.
[0038] As used herein, "insulin analogue" refers to a polypeptide having a form that can be obtained by deletion and / or replacement of at least one amino acid residue present in naturally occurring insulin, such as the molecular structure of the human insulin structure, and / or by addition of at least one amino acid residue derived from naturally occurring insulin.
[0039] "DesB30 insulin" and "desB30 human insulin" refer to naturally occurring insulin or analogs thereof that lack the B30 amino acid residues.
[0040] The term "diabetes" includes type I diabetes, type II diabetes, gestational diabetes (during pregnancy) and other conditions that cause hyperglycemia. The term is used for metabolic disorders in which the pancreas produces insufficient amounts of insulin, or the body's cells are unable to respond appropriately to insulin, preventing the cells from absorbing glucose. As a result, glucose accumulates in the blood. Type I diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile-onset diabetes, is caused by B-cell destruction, which often results in absolute insulin deficiency. Type II diabetes, also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and adult-onset diabetes, is associated with significant insulin resistance and therefore relative insulin deficiency due to insulin resistance and / or significant insulin secretion abnormalities.
[0041] "A14E,B16E,B25H,B29K (N(ε)-eicosandioyl-L-Lys-succinic acid-2xOEG),desB30 human insulin" is a human insulin in which the amino acid Y at position A14 of human insulin is mutated to E, the amino acid Y at position B16 of human insulin is mutated to E, the amino acid F at position B25 of human insulin is mutated to H, and the amino acid K at position B29 of human insulin is mutated to the ε nitrogen (N ε It is modified on the cytosine triphosphate (referred to as CYP2Q10) by acylation with eicosanedioyl-L-Lys-succinic acid-2xOEG residues, which means that the amino acid T at position B30 of human insulin is deleted.
[0042] "OEG" is [2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy]ethylcarbonyl; 2xOEG or (OEG)2 together refer to two OEG.
[0043] "Su" is succinimidyl-1-yl 2,5-dioxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl.
[0044] "Osu" refers to succinimidyl-1-yloxy=2,5-dioxo-pyrrolidin-1-yloxy. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS EXAMPLES
[0046] The solutions of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Examples of such embodiments are illustrated in the drawings, and the same or similar reference numbers refer to the same or similar components or components with the same or similar functions throughout. If no specific techniques or conditions are shown in the examples, the techniques or conditions described in the technical literature or product specifications will be used. The reagents or equipment used without manufacturer's indication are conventional products available on the market. Those skilled in the art will understand that the following examples are only used to illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0047] Example 1 Preparation of insulin mutant analogs (A14E, B16E, B25H, B29K, desB30 human insulin analogs) The construction of vectors for insulin analogs, yeast expression, processing and purification can be carried out using standard techniques that are readily recognized by those skilled in the art. A non-limiting example of the preparation of insulin analogs has been described previously (Glendorf T, Sorensen AR, Nishimura E, Pettersson I, and Kjeldsen T: Importance of the Solvent-Exposed Residues of the Insulin B chain α-Helix for Receptor Binding: Biochemistry. 2008; 47(16): 4743-51). In short, using a yeast expression system, the A single chain and the B single chain of long-acting insulin were connected through an artificially designed C peptide, and a spacer peptide was added to increase the stability of the precursor protein and increase the expression of the target protein. Through enzymatic cleavage and subsequent purification, both the spacer peptide and the C peptide were cleaved in the downstream purification process to obtain long-acting insulin analogs. The complete conversion to the double-stranded DesB30 analog was verified by MALDI-TOF MS, and its purity was tested by RP-HPLC under acidic and neutral conditions. The engineered strain obtained by screening the transfected host bacteria can be fermented at high density with high expression levels and low fermentation costs. The designed genes facilitate the development of a simple and efficient purification process.
[0048] 1) Construction of recombinant expression vector The total synthesis of the target gene was entrusted to General Biosystems (Anhui) Co., Ltd., the target gene sequence and vector pPIC9K were digested with restriction enzymes BamHI and EcoRI (TAKARA), the digestion product was purified and recovered using a gel extraction kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. The vector was ligated using DNA ligation kit Ver2.1 (TAKARA) according to the manufacturer's instructions and transformed into competent cells DH5a. A single colony on the plate was randomly picked and the target gene was sequenced by Guangzhou Aike Biotechnology Co., Ltd. to verify its accuracy, and then the correct expression vector was extracted and verified using an Omega plasmid extraction kit. After linearization with the restriction enzyme SalI (Takara), the expression vector was purified and recovered using a gel extraction kit according to the manufacturer's instructions, and stored at -20°C for future use.
[0049] 2) Construction of recombinant engineering strains and protein fermentation expression The linearized recombinant expression plasmid was added to Pichia pastoris GS115 competent cells (Invitrogen) transformed by electroshock method, and electroshock was performed using a MicroPulser (Bio-Rad, 165-2100) device. After electroshock, 1mL of pre-chilled 1mol / L sorbitol was added, and the bacterial suspension was transferred to a sterile centrifuge tube, recovered and cultured in a shaker at 30℃ and 220rpm for 2 hours, then coated with MD medium plates and inverted cultured at 30℃ in an incubator. The transformants grown on the plates were screened for high-copy recombinants using Geneticin G418 (Merck).
[0050] The above screened recombinants were cultured in shaker flasks, fermented, single colonies were picked and inoculated into YPD medium for cultivation, shaken in a shaker at 30°C and 220 rpm for about 2 days, the seed liquid obtained by cultivation was inoculated into BMGY medium (buffered glycerol complex medium) at a ratio of 1:100, incubated in a shaker at 30°C and 220 rpm for about 24 hours with shaking, then anhydrous methanol was added at 1% of the volume of the fermentation medium to induce protein expression, anhydrous methanol was replenished every 12 hours, and then fermentation was terminated after 120 hours of induction. The fermentation broth was collected and centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 6 minutes, and the supernatant was collected. The supernatant was subjected to cation chromatography, enzyme digestion, polymer chromatography, ultrafiltration, and freeze-drying.

[0108] Example 3 In vitro bioactivity testing of insulin The acylated insulin analogs of the present invention can activate cells transfected with insulin receptor B to produce insulin receptor autophosphorylation, and can also reversibly bind to human serum albumin (HSA). The phosphorylation level of insulin receptor B was detected by Cisbio's Rhospho-IR beta (Tyr1150 / 1151) kit method to evaluate the biological activity of insulin. Cells were seeded in a 96-well plate overnight, and after removing the serum in the medium, 40 μl of serum-free medium was added to the culture for about 4 hours. Then, a dilution series of insulin derivatives was prepared using blank solution (0.6% casein, 0.06 mg / mL EDTA, 1xDPBS) and incubated with the cells in the 96-well plate for 5 minutes in a CO2 incubator (37°C, 5% CO2). The liquid in the 96-well plate was poured off, and a mixture of 100 μL of lysis buffer (2% Triton X-100, 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM HEPES, pH=7) and inhibitor (blocking reagent in the kit) was added to lyse the cells, and then the plate was shaken at 350 rpm for 30 minutes. The insulin receptor phosphorylation level in the supernatant after cell lysis was measured, and the relative activity (percent (%)) was evaluated by fitting a curve to the data using nonlinear regression in Graphpad Prism 5 software. A related assay was also used in which the blank solution also contained 1.5% HSA to simulate physiological conditions. The change in phosphorylation level of the insulin-activated insulin receptor of the present invention was detected as an indirect reflection of albumin binding activity.
[0109] [Table 1]
[0110] Remarks: (1) A14E, B16E, B25H, B29K(N ε -eicosanedioyl-gGlu-2xOEG), DesB30 human insulin analog, this compound is abbreviated as insulin-a1.
[0111] (2): A14E, B16H, B25H, B29K(N ε -Eicosanedioyl-gGlu-2xOEG), DesB30 human insulin analog, this compound is abbreviated as Icodec.
[0112] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the in vitro activity of the new aliphatic side chain acylation to prepare the new insulin drugs insulin-a3 and insulin-a10 is significantly reduced compared with recombinant human insulin or insulin degludec under the conditions of 0% HSA and 1.5% HSA. The main reason is that the side chain has a certain effect on the in vitro activity, since the side chain binds strongly to albumin and weakly to the receptor of the insulin precursor, which also reveals the different binding ability of the new insulin drugs and albumin. In this repeated administration experiment of C57BL6 mice modeled by STZ, it can be seen that the effective glucose control effect of the control insulin-a1 can be maintained for 3 days / time, and the effective glucose control effect of insulin-a3 can be maintained for 4-5 days / time. It can be seen that insulin-a3 has a longer glucose control maintenance time than the control insulin-a1, and the effect is better. Therefore, when the insulin precursor is the same, this reversible binding ability is better in the new insulin drugs.

[0136] Animal groupings and treatments are shown in Table 12: [Table 12]
[0137] Subcutaneous administration (SC) was used to administer the corresponding vehicle or drug once every 4-5 days for a total of three doses. Mice were allowed to eat and drink ad libitum throughout the experiment. Random blood glucose was assessed before the first dose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after the dose, as well as before the second and third doses and 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours after the dose.

[0139] (5) Results Specific data are shown in Table 13 and Figure 3. [Table 13]
[0140] Note: *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 vs. model. Compared with the model group, the blood glucose of the three doses of Icodec-250, 500 and 1000 nmol / kg was significantly lowered 24 hours after each administration, reached the lowest level, and then rose slowly. Throughout the entire experimental period, the lowering effect of Icodec on blood glucose and the effective blood glucose control time were dose-dependent, i.e., the higher the dose, the stronger the lowering effect and the longer the blood glucose control time. At a dose of 1000 nmol / kg, the effective blood glucose control time can reach 96 hours.
[0141] Compared with the model group, the blood glucose of insulin-a3 significantly decreased 24 hours after each administration, reached the lowest level, and then slowly increased, and blood glucose returned to normal levels 96 hours after the first and second administrations. With increasing number of administrations, the effective glucose control time of insulin-a3 was extended after the third administration, reaching normal levels only 120 hours after administration. At the same time, the blood glucose of insulin-a10 significantly decreased 24 hours after each administration, reached the lowest level, and then slowly increased, and blood glucose returned to normal levels 96 hours after the first administrations. With increasing number of administrations, the effective glucose control time of insulin-a10 was extended after the second and third administrations, reaching normal levels only 120 hours after administration. Compared with the Icodec-1000nmol / kg group, the glucose control effect of insulin-a3 was slightly worse, but better than the Icodec-500nmol / kg group, and its effective glucose control time could be maintained for 96-120 hours; the glucose control effect of insulin-a10 was equivalent to that of Icodec-1000nmol / kg, and its effective glucose control time could be maintained for 120 hours.
[0142] In conclusion, insulin-a3 and insulin-a10 can still achieve similar or better hypoglycemic effects when doses are less than twice as high as Icodec.
