Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to polypeptide compounds and their uses in the pharmaceutical field. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for treating glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), a glucose-dependent The insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR), and the glucagon receptor ( A polypeptide compound having triple agonist activity against GCG R, and and its use in the treatment of inflammatory bowel syndrome. [Background technology]

[0002] Type 2 diabetes and obesity are increasingly becoming global diseases affecting human health. Obesity is associated with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, dyslipidemia, fatty liver disease, and atherosclerosis. Diabetes is the leading cause of many chronic diseases, including atherosclerosis, arthritis, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. It can also lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other complications. Most of the hypoglycemic drugs available only have the effect of controlling blood glucose and do not increase the weight of obese patients. Some drugs even have the side effect of causing weight gain. It can reduce and improve weight loss, and is effective in most obese and type 2 diabetic patients. There remains an urgent need to develop drugs containing multiple beneficial effects that address individual needs. be.

[0003] Incretins are polypeptide hormones secreted from the intestine following normal physiological food stimulation. Early research suggests that it is a type of , stimulates pancreatic islet β-cells to secrete insulin, regulates glucose homeostasis, and It may protect cells, suppress appetite and slow gastric emptying, thereby reducing body weight. GLP-1 and GIP are currently the two types of pancreatic stimulating hormones. It has been found as a type of

[0004] GLP-1 is a polypeptide with 31 amino acids that binds to the intestinal mucosa of L cells. It is expressed by the glucagon gene and acts primarily on the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1 R). , stimulates insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon secretion, protects pancreatic islet β-cells, and reduces blood glucose levels. It has physiological functions in regulating course homeostasis, while also acting through central nervous system signaling pathways. It inhibits food intake and gastric emptying, increasing satiety and therefore weight loss. Xendin-4 is a GLP-1 analogue extracted from the salivary glands of the African venomous lizard. , it exhibits stronger GLP-1 receptor activation and similar GLP-1 effects. Compared with GLP-1, exendin-4 confers stronger resistance to DPP-4 and and has a longer plasma half-life in the body.

[0005] GIP is a single-chain polypeptide with 42 amino acids produced by the K cells of the small intestinal mucosa. It acts primarily on the GIP receptor (GIPR) in pancreatic islet cells and adipocytes. GIP-dependent insulin secretion enhances islet β-cell quality and increases insulin secretion. It stimulates secretion, inhibits gastric acid secretion, and slows gastric peristalsis. In addition, it has a beneficial effect on adipose tissue cells. GIP also stimulates fatty acid uptake and utilization by osteoblasts. It also has a therapeutic effect, inhibiting osteoblast apoptosis, inhibiting bone resorption, and increasing bone mineral density. and protects bones.

[0006] GCG is a polypeptide containing 29 amino acids and is expressed in pancreatic islet α-cells. It is expressed and secreted by the lucagon progenitor gene, and is distributed in the liver and kidney. It acts primarily on glucagon receptors (GC-R), stimulating liver glycogen breakdown and increasing blood glucose. It increases the cholesterol level, activates lipase, and promotes lipolysis, while inhibiting hepatic fat synthesis and promoting fat Enhances acid oxidation. Research results show that GCG reduces food intake and increases the energy content of adipose tissue. - has a specific effect on increasing fat burning and reducing body fat The moderate effect of GCG in raising blood glucose is related to the feed- ing-chain of insulin. This may provide a boost and reduce the occurrence of hypoglycemic events.

[0007] Exenatide and Lisenatide: Targeting the effects of incretin GLP-1 receptor agonists such as liraglutide, dulaglutide, and semaglutide has been successfully developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In addition, liraglutide has been shown to promote weight loss. Semaglutide has been successfully developed for the treatment of obesity, and semaglutide is also undergoing clinical studies for the treatment of obesity. The advantage of GLP-1 analogues is that they lower blood glucose and improve cardiac function. It may also have vascular benefits and weight management effects. However, at present, no single Weight loss with GLP-1 receptor agonists remains below 10% with no clear dose-related effect. There are gastrointestinal side effects (mainly nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea). Obese type II diabetes, non-alcoholic Fatty liver disease / non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NAFLD / NASH), diabetes, and heart disease Weight loss in populations with metabolic diseases and complex medical conditions, such as obesity with vascular risk There remains an urgent need for more effective treatments for dementia.

[0008] According to the physiological effects of GLP-1, GIP, and GCG, many studies are currently being conducted. Activating all or all three of these receptors simultaneously is more effective than activating only GLP-1R. It has been confirmed that this method can achieve better therapeutic effects on diabetes and obesity than conventional methods. Hyperglycemia, obesity, and insulin resistance are linked to GIPR and its signaling pathways. However, it has been reported that it reduces blood sugar and inhibits insulin resistance. Promoting insulin secretion and improving pancreatic islet function as resistance improves The role of GIP in promoting glycogen breakdown and increasing blood glucose levels may be improved. In addition to increasing hepatic lipid metabolism, GCG can also promote fat breakdown and inhibit hepatic fat synthesis. However, the synergistic effect of GLP-1 on blood lipids and body weight can be reduced. Inhibition of GLP-1 is required to suppress its hyperglycemic effect. " effect, lowering blood sugar and improving insulin resistance is a GI It can further enhance the insulin secretion-promoting function and insulin sensitization synergistic effect of P, and can also enhance pancreatic islet function It can improve the lipid metabolism, further enhance the lipolytic effect of GCG, and improve the weight loss effect. This may enhance the effect.

[0009] Development of clinical data on GLP-1 / GIP and GLP-1 / GCG dual agonists The clinical therapeutic efficacy of drugs is also influenced by the relationship between different receptors, such as GLP-1 / GIP or The distributional effects of GLP-1 / GCG dual agonist activity are becoming increasingly clear.

[0010] For example, the results of a Phase II clinical study of Lilly's tirzepatide (LY3298176) reported that a 1 mg dose of tirzepatide had little effect on weight loss and its blood glucose lowering effect was The dose of tirzepatide was significantly lower than that of dulaglutide 1.5 mg. Only when increased to 5 mg did it produce a better blood glucose lowering effect than 1.5 mg dulaglutide. This may result in a weight loss effect due to stronger GIP receptor agonist activity. This is probably due to the tendency of tirzepatide to inhibit GLP-1 receptor activity. 50 is wild type GLP-1 active EC 50 This is only about 15% of the total. The dosage of Patid has been significantly increased (up to a maximum dose of 15 mg), which is This may increase safety risks.

[0011] On the other hand, due to the strong blood glucose increasing effect of GCG, it is necessary to balance the blood glucose increasing effect of GCG. To suppress and prevent GLP-1 / GCG receptor dual agonists, sufficient GLP-1 / GCG receptor dual agonists were used. P-1 activity is required to ensure the blood glucose lowering effect. Manufactured by AstraZeneca The GLP-1 / GCG receptor dual agonist MEDI0382 (cotadutide) Relative activity EC of GLP-1 and GCG receptors 50 are 29% and 12.8%, respectively. The results of the 26-week clinical trial showed that liraglutide was 100-300 μg / day higher than liraglutide. g dose of cotadutide on body weight, blood lipids, and ALT and AST levels The effect of the 300 μg dose group was greater than that of the 1.8 mg liraglutide. However, in each dose group, the results were significantly better than those of liraglutide. Furthermore, there was no significant benefit in reducing HbA1c with increasing cotadutide dosage. As the dose increased, the reduction in glycated hemoglobin in the 300 μg group was greater than that in the 200 μg group. This is due to the fact that as the dose increases, This is likely due to low GLP-1 receptor activity, which is insufficient to inhibit the effects of GCG. minutes.

[0012] Ideal for long-acting GLP-1 / GIP / G-CSF treatments that occur once, twice, or three times a week. CG triple receptor agonist molecules have the highest possible GLP-1R / GIPR activity and and relatively controllable GCGR activity to ensure maximum weight loss and blood glucose lowering effects CN104902919A and CN111040022A are poisonous toxins. A series of GLP-1 / G-protein complexes based on structural modifications of exopeptide-4 (exendin-4) We disclose an IP / GC G R triple agonist molecule; CN109071624A has long-lasting A series of cyclic peptide molecules are disclosed that can be combined with interacting conjugates to form molecules. In addition, WO2015067716A1, WO2019125929A1, and WO2019125938A1 discloses a method for linking a fatty acid to the side chain of an amino acid at position 17. All of these polypeptides are also disclosed as GLP-1 / GIP / It demonstrates the triple activation effect of GCG R and has the potential for long-lasting action when taken once a week. The molecules disclosed in the patent literature have sufficiently high activity against GLP-1R / GIPR / GCGR. It is not possible to simultaneously exhibit both high and low activity.
