Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to PTH prodrugs, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such PTH prodrugs or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and the use thereof. [Background technology]
[0002] Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder characterized by low serum calcium and inadequately low (insufficient) circulating parathyroid hormone levels, and most often occurs in adults after thyroid surgery. Standard treatment involves active vitamin D analogues and calcium supplementation, which increases calcium and phosphorus absorption and serum levels to compensate for abnormally increased urinary calcium excretion. Hypoparathyroidism is currently the only severe endocrine condition in which the hormonal deficiency is generally not treated by replacement of the deficient hormone (PTH).
[0003] The prevalence of hypoparathyroidism was recently systematically studied in Denmark. This study identified over 2,000 patients in total, resulting in a prevalence of approximately 24 / 100,000 of the population. Of the identified patients, only a small number (2 / 100,000) had non-surgically caused hypoparathyroidism. These estimates are consistent with the latest USA data showing a similar prevalence for patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism.
[0004] Endogenous PTH, synthesized and secreted by the parathyroid gland, is the primary endocrine hormone that regulates systemic calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. PTH's physiological effects include the release of calcium and phosphorus from bone; retention of calcium rather than phosphorus in the kidneys by increasing calcium reabsorption in the renal tubules while decreasing phosphate reabsorption; and stimulating the renal production of active vitamin D (1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3), thereby increasing calcium and phosphorus absorption in the intestines. Without the renal action of PTH—storing calcium and excreting phosphorus—conventional therapies using vitamin D analogs and calcium supplements can lead to renal insufficiency or failure due to progressive nephrocalcinosis. Furthermore, prolonged high levels can lead to ectopic calcification (ectopic calcification in the basal ganglia, lens of the eye, and vascular system) due to a chronic increase in calcium-phosphorus products that precipitate as calcium phosphate crystals.
[0005] Recently, Natpara® PTH(1-84) was approved by the FDA for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism. For a long time, Forteo® PTH(1-34) has also been used for hypoparathyroidism, even though it is not approved for this indication, by injection once, twice, or three times daily.
[0006] When PTH is delivered intermittently, for example by daily or frequent injections of PTH(1-84) or PTH(1-34), it acts as an anabolic agent on bone by preferentially activating osteoblasts over osteoclasts. This anabolic effect of intermittent exposure to PTH contrasts with the net bone catabolism that can occur with continuous exposure to PTH. The anabolic capacity of intermittent administration of PTH agonists has been well utilized in the treatment of osteoporosis, where bone turnover is usually high and bone mineral density (BMD) is low, whereas the opposite is true in hypoparathyroidism.
[0007] The primary complication of hypoparathyroidism is hypercalciuria, resulting from a lack of PTH-dependent calcium reabsorption in the distal renal tubules. Hypercalciuria is associated with an increased risk of nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, and renal failure. According to the FDA review of Natpara, daily injections of PTH failed to provide adequate control of urinary calcium excretion due to the short half-life of this PTH agonist in the body.
[0008] Furthermore, non-physiological PTH levels may be associated with hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia. Treatment with Natpara did not improve the incidence of these complications compared to placebo. This can be partly explained by the unfavorable PK of Natpara. For example, administration of the currently approved dose of Natpara is C max This results in PTH levels well above the physiological level of 300 pg / ml, which returns to baseline at 12 hours. As a result, patients are overtreated in the initial stages after administration, and undertreated during the period between doses.
[0009] Hypocalcemia is accompanied by a wide range of symptoms, some of which can be fatal, including tetany, paresthesia, cognitive impairment, loss of consciousness with seizures (grand mal seizures), renal dysfunction, cardiac arrhythmias and syncope, and even heart failure.
[0010] Therefore, there is a great unmet need for more physiological PTH treatments that result in sustained exposure to PTH, which allows for the alleviation of symptoms associated with hypocalcemia, hypercalciuria, and hyperphosphatemia without causing hypercalcemia.
[0011] PTH replacement therapy becomes more physiological when delivered by continuous infusion, for example using an insulin pump. This has been demonstrated, for example, by Winer et al. (J Pediatr, 2014, 165(3), 556-563), in their study that pump delivery simultaneously normalized bone turnover markers and urinary and serum mineral levels, while intermittent injection delivery did not.
[0012] The normal PTH range is 15-50 pg / ml, and it is important to understand that intermittent PTH agonist administration is not a component of physiological replacement therapy. PTH polypeptides have an inherently short circulating half-life due to rapid hepatic metabolism. Despite initial hyperphysiological drug levels, rapid clearance of the drug from the body hinders adequate drug delivery throughout the dosing interval.
[0013] Longer-acting versions of PTH have been created using several methods, including encapsulation of PTH in PLGA microparticles and permanent conjugation of PTH molecules with either synthetic or peptide polymers. Kostenuik et al. (J Bone Miner Res, 2007, 22(10), 1534-1547) described a PTH-Fc fusion protein with a longer half-life than PTH(1-34) and conducted studies in osteopenic ovariectomized rats or mice to determine whether intermittent (1-2 times per week) injections of PTH-Fc increased bone mass, density, and strength even with prolonged exposure to PTH. It was demonstrated that PTH-derived molecules with long circulating half-lives provided equivalent anabolic effects to daily PTH on cortical and trabecular bone, but with a reduced dosage frequency. Another approach was proposed by Ponnapakkam et al. (Drug Discov Today, 2014, 19(3), 204, 208), in which a hybrid polypeptide of PTH and a collagen-binding domain caused a long-term (up to 12 months) increase in bone mineral density in normal female mice after a single dose.
[0014] Patients with hypoparathyroidism typically exhibit an abnormally low bone turnover rate that leads to increased bone density. Therefore, when treating hypoparathyroidism, the anabolic effects of PTH should be avoided. Ideally, treatment should normalize the patient's bone turnover rate, but it should not be increased above the normal range, as demonstrated by daily treatment with PTH(1-34) and PTH(1-84).
[0015] In short, more effective PTH treatment is needed. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]
[0016] [Non-Patent Document 1] Kostenuik et al., J Bone Miner Res, 2007, 22(10), 1534-1547 [Non-Patent Document 2] Ponnapakkam et al., Drug Discov Today, 2014, 19(3), 204.208 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0017] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks at least partially. [Means for solving the problem]
[0018] The purpose of this is formula (Ia) or (Ib) [ka] (In the formula, -D is a PTH substructure, -L 1 - is a reversible prodrug linker substructure linked to the PTH substructure-D by a functional group of PTH. -L 2 - is a single chemical bond or spacer substructure. -Z is a water-soluble carrier substructure, x is an integer selected from the group consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16. (y is an integer selected from the group consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.) This is achieved with a PTH prodrug having [specific characteristic], or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0019] Surprisingly, the PTH prodrug of the present invention was found to exhibit low residual activity of the prodrug, resulting in sustained release of PTH. As a result, administration of the PTH prodrug of the present invention simultaneously resulted in normalization of serum calcium and reduction of serum phosphate, thus achieving an increased serum calcium-to-serum phosphate ratio compared to treatment with the current standard treatment of PTH1-84. In addition, no adverse effects on bone resorption and formation markers or overall bone health were observed in relevant animal models of the human condition when administered at physiological doses.
[0020] Surprisingly, it was also found that such PTH prodrugs can achieve a stable plasma profile of PTH, ensuring physiological serum and urinary calcium levels, or even sub-normal urinary calcium levels.
[0021] In this invention, the following terms are used:
[0022] As used herein, the term "PTH" refers to all PTH polypeptides, preferably from mammalian species, more preferably from humans and mammalian species, more preferably from humans and murine species, as well as their variants, analogs, orthologues, homologs, and derivatives and fragments, characterized by increasing serum calcium and renal phosphorus excretion and decreasing serum phosphorus and renal calcium excretion. The term "PTH" also refers to all PTHrP polypeptides that bind to and activate the common PTH / PTHrP1 receptor, such as the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 121. Preferably, the term "PTH" refers to the PTH polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51, as well as its variants, homologs, and derivatives that exhibit essentially the same biological activity, namely increasing serum calcium and renal phosphorus excretion and decreasing serum phosphorus and renal calcium excretion.

[0024] More preferably, the term "PTH" refers to the sequence of sequence numbers 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, and 115. Even more preferably, the term "PTH" refers to the sequence of sequence numbers 50, 51, 52, 110, 111, and 112. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the term "PTH" refers to the sequence of sequence number 51.
[0025] As used herein, the term “PTH polypeptide variant” refers to a polypeptide from the same species that is different from the reference PTH or PTHrP polypeptide. Preferably, such reference is a PTH polypeptide sequence having the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 51. Generally, the differences are limited, and therefore the amino acid sequences of the reference and the variant are similar throughout and identical in many regions. Preferably, the PTH polypeptide variant is at least 70%, 80%, 90%, or 95% identical to the reference PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, preferably the PTH polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51. A polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that is at least, for example, 95% “identical” to the query amino acid sequence means that the amino acid sequence of the target polypeptide is identical to the query sequence, except that it may contain no more than 5 amino acid changes for every 100 amino acids of the query amino acid sequence. These modifications of the reference sequence may be located at the amino-terminus (N-terminus) or carboxy-terminus (C-terminus) of the reference amino acid sequence, or they may be individually scattered among residues in the reference sequence, or scattered among one or more adjacent groups in the reference sequence, or they may be located at any position between these terminal positions. The query sequence may be the entire amino acid sequence of the reference sequence, or any fragment as specified herein. Preferably, the query sequence is the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 51.
[0026] Such PTH peptide variants may be naturally occurring variants, such as naturally occurring allele variants encoded by one of several alternative forms of PTH or PTHrP occupying a given locus on a chromosome or organism, or they may be isoforms encoded by naturally occurring splice variants derived from a single primary transcript. Alternatively, the PTH polypeptide variant may be a variant not known to exist naturally, which can be produced by mutagenesis methods known in the art.
[0027] It is known in the art that one or more amino acids can be deleted from the N-terminus or C-terminus of a biologically active polypeptide without substantially losing its biological function. Such N and / or C-terminal deletions are also encompassed by the term PTH polypeptide variant.
[0028] Those skilled in the art will also recognize that the amino acid sequence of a portion of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide can be altered without significantly affecting the structure or function of the polypeptide. Such variants include deletions, insertions, inversions, repeats, and substitutions, which are selected according to general rules known in the art so as to have little effect on activity. For example, guidance on methods for making phenotypically silent amino acid substitutions is provided in Bowie et al. (1990), Science 247:1306-1310, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and the authors of this reference show that there are two main approaches to studying the tolerance of amino acid sequences to alteration.
[0029] The term PTH polypeptide also encompasses all PTH or PTHrP polypeptides encoded by PTH or PTHrP analogs, orthologs, and / or species homologs. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that the term PTH polypeptide encompasses all PTHrP analogs, since PTHrP and PTHrP analogs bind to and activate the common PTH / PTHrP1 receptor. As used herein, the term "PTH analogue" refers to PTH or PTHrP from different, unrelated organisms that perform the same function in each organism but do not originate from a common ancestral structure shared by the ancestors of those organisms. Rather, similar PTH and PTHrP arose separately and subsequently evolved to perform the same or similar functions. In other words, similar PTH and PTHrP polypeptides are polypeptides that perform the same biological activity, namely increasing serum calcium and renal phosphorus excretion and decreasing serum phosphorus and renal calcium excretion, but have entirely different amino acid sequences.
[0030] As used herein, the term "PTH ortholog" refers to PTHs or PTHrPs within two different species that have evolved to be distinct from each other, although their sequences are related by a common homologous PTH or PTHrP in the ancestral species.
[0031] As used herein, the term "PTH homolog" refers to PTH or PTHrP from different organisms that perform the same function in each organism and originate from an ancestral structure common to the ancestors of those organisms. In other words, homologous PTH polypeptides are polypeptides that perform the same biological activity, i.e., increase serum calcium and renal phosphorus excretion and decrease serum phosphorus and renal calcium excretion, and have exactly the same amino acid sequence. Preferably, a PTH polypeptide homolog can be defined as a polypeptide that exhibits at least 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 95% identity with a reference PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, preferably the PTH polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51.
[0032] Accordingly, the PTH polypeptide according to the present invention may, for example, (i) have at least one amino acid residue substituted with a conserved or non-conserved amino acid residue, preferably a conserved amino acid residue, and such substituted amino acid residue may or may not be encoded by the genetic code, and / or (ii) have at least one amino acid residue containing a substituent, and / or (iii) have the PTH polypeptide fused with another compound, for example, a compound for increasing the half-life of the polypeptide (e.g., polyethylene glycol), and / or (iv) have further amino acids fused to the PTH polypeptide, such as an IgG Fc fusion region polypeptide or a leader or secretion sequence, or a sequence used for purifying the polypeptide of the above form, or a protein precursor sequence.
[0033] As used herein, the term "PTH polypeptide fragment" refers to any polypeptide comprising a contiguous range of a portion of the amino acid sequence of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, preferably the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51.
[0034] More specifically, a PTH polypeptide fragment comprises at least six, e.g., at least eight, at least ten, or at least 17 consecutive amino acids of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, more preferably the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51. Furthermore, a PTH polypeptide fragment may be described as a subgenus of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide comprising at least six amino acids, where “at least six” is defined as any integer between six and an integer representing the C-terminal amino acid of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, preferably the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51. Further includes species of PTH or PTHrP polypeptide fragments of at least six amino acids in length, as described above, which are further specified with respect to the N-terminal and C-terminal positions. All PTH or PTHrP polypeptide fragments of at least six amino acids in length, as described above, which may be specifically specified by the N-terminal and C-terminal positions, are also included in the term “PTH polypeptide fragment” as individual species. In other words, the present invention includes any combination of N-terminal and C-terminal positions that can be occupied by a fragment of at least six consecutive amino acids on any given amino acid sequence of a PTH or PTHrP polypeptide, preferably the PTH polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 51.
[0035] The term "PTH" includes poly(amino acid) conjugates having the sequence described above, but also having a backbone containing both amide and non-amide bonds, such as ester bonds, such as depsipeptides. A depsipeptide is a chain of amino acid residues whose backbone contains both amide (peptide) bonds and ester bonds. Therefore, as used herein, the term "side chain" refers to a substructure bonded to the alpha-carbon of an amino acid substructure when the amino acid substructures are linked by amine bonds, for example in the case of a polypeptide, or to any carbon-carbon-containing substructure bonded to the backbone of a poly(amino acid) conjugate, such as in the case of a depsipeptide. Preferably, the term "PTH" refers to a polypeptide having a backbone formed by amide (peptide) bonds.
[0036] The term PTH includes the above variants, analogs, orthologues, homologs, derivatives, and fragments of PTH or PTHrP; therefore, all references to specific positions within the reference sequence also include equivalent positions within variants, analogs, orthologues, homologs, derivatives, and fragments of the PTH or PTHrP substructure, even if not specifically stated.
[0037] As used herein, the term “random coil” refers to a peptide or protein that, as determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy performed in an aqueous buffer solution at ambient temperature and pH 7.4, adopts / has / forms a conformation substantially devoid of the defined secondary and tertiary structures, preferably having such a conformation. Preferably, the ambient temperature is about 20°C, i.e., between 18°C and 22°C, and most preferably 20°C.
[0038] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” means a composition containing one or more active ingredients, for example, a drug or prodrug, in particular the PTH prodrug of the present invention, and optionally one or more excipients, and any product obtained directly or indirectly from combination, complexation or aggregation of any two or more components of the composition, or from dissociation of one or more of the components, or from other types of reactions or interactions of one or more of the components. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention encompasses any composition produced by mixing one or more PTH prodrugs of the present invention with optionally pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
[0039] As used herein, the term "liquid composition" refers to a mixture comprising a water-soluble PTH prodrug and one or more solvents, such as water.
[0040] The term "suspension composition" refers to a mixture containing a water-insoluble PTH prodrug, for example, a support Z' being a hydrogel, and one or more solvents, such as water. Due to the water-insoluble polymer, this polymeric prodrug cannot dissolve and becomes particulate.
[0041] As used herein, the term “dried composition” means that the pharmaceutical composition is provided in a dry form. Preferred drying methods are spray drying and freeze-drying. Such a dried composition of a prodrug has a residual moisture content of up to 10%, preferably less than 5%, and more preferably less than 2%, as determined by Karl Fischer. Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is dried by freeze-drying.
[0042] As used herein, the term “drug” refers to a substance used to treat, cure, prevent or diagnose a disease, or to otherwise improve physical or mental well-being. When a drug is conjugated with another substructure, the substructure of the resulting product derived from that drug is called the “bioactive substructure.” The PTH prodrug of the present invention comprises a PTH substructure released from the PTH prodrug in the form of the drug PTH.
[0043] As used herein, the term “prodrug” refers to a conjugate containing a bioactive substructure reversibly covalently linked to a specific protecting group via a reversible prodrug linker substructure, the reversible prodrug linker substructure being a linker substructure containing a reversible bond to the bioactive substructure, and the specific protecting group altering or removing undesirable properties of the parent molecule. This includes enhancing desirable properties and suppressing undesirable properties of the drug. The specific non-toxic protecting group is referred to as the “carrier.” A prodrug releases a reversibly covalently bonded bioactive substructure in the form of its corresponding drug. In other words, a prodrug is a conjugate containing a bioactive substructure reversibly covalently conjugated to a carrier substructure via a reversible prodrug linker substructure, the reversible covalent bond of the carrier to the reversible linker substructure being either direct or mediated by a spacer. Such a conjugate releases the previously conjugated bioactive substructure in the form of a free drug.
[0044] A "biodegradable bond" or "reversible bond" is a bond that can be decomposed by hydrolysis in the absence of enzymes under physiological conditions (pH 7.4 aqueous buffer, 37°C), i.e., cleaved, with a half-life of 1 hour to 2 months, preferably in the range of 1 hour to 1 month. Therefore, a stable bond is a bond that has a half-life longer than 2 months under physiological conditions (pH 7.4 aqueous buffer, 37°C).
[0045] Therefore, the "reversible prodrug linker substructure" is covalently conjugated to a bioactive substructure such as PTH via a substructure that is also covalently conjugated to a carrier substructure such as -Z or -Z', and the covalent bond to the carrier substructure is either direct or -L 2 -Via spacer substructures such as -Z or -Z' and -L 2 - The bond between them is a stable bond.
[0046] As used herein, the term "trace-free prodrug linker" means a reversible prodrug linker that releases the drug in its free form upon decomposition. As used herein, the term "free form" means the drug in its unmodified, pharmacologically active form.
[0047] As used herein, the term “excipient” refers to a substance that is therapeutically useful, such as a diluent, adjuvant, or vehicle used to administer a drug or prodrug. Such pharmaceutical excipients may be sterile solutions, such as water and oils (including, but not limited to, peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, etc., including those of petroleum, animal, plant, or synthetic origin). Water is a preferred excipient when the pharmaceutical composition is administered orally. When the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously, saline and dextrose aqueous solutions are preferred excipients. Salt solutions, as well as dextrose and glycerol aqueous solutions, are preferably used as liquid excipients for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, mannitol, trehalose, gelatin, malt, rice, wheat flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glyceryl monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, skim milk powder, glycerol, propylene glycol, water, and ethanol. Pharmaceutical compositions may, as needed, contain small amounts of wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffers such as acetates, succinates, tris, carbonates, phosphates, HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid), MES (2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid), or surfactants such as Tween, poloxamer, poloxamine, CHAPS, Igepal, or amino acids such as glycine, lysine, or histidine. These pharmaceutical compositions can take the form of liquids, suspensions, emulsions, tablets, pills, capsules, powders, sustained-release formulations, etc. Pharmaceutical compositions may also be formulated as suppositories using conventional binders and excipients, such as triglycerides. Oral formulations may contain standard excipients, such as pharmaceutical-grade mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, cellulose, magnesium carbonate, etc. Such compositions would contain a therapeutically effective amount of drug or bioactive substructure, along with suitable amounts of excipients to produce a dosage form for appropriate administration to the patient. The formulation should be appropriate for the method of administration.
[0048] As used herein, the term “reagent” means a compound containing at least one functional group for reaction with the functional group of another compound or drug. Drugs containing a functional group (e.g., a primary or secondary amine or a hydroxyl functional group) are also understood to be reagents.
[0049] As used herein, the term "substructure" refers to a part of a molecule that lacks one or more atoms compared to the corresponding reagent. For example, when a reagent of formula "HXH" reacts with another reagent and becomes part of the reaction product, the corresponding substructure of that reaction product has the structure "HX-" or "-X-", where each "-" indicates a bond to another substructure. Thus, the biologically active substructure is released as a drug from the prodrug.
[0050] Where an arrangement or chemical structure of an atomic group is provided in which an atomic group is bonded to two substructures or is intercepted in one substructure, it is understood that, unless otherwise explicitly stated, the arrangement or chemical structure may be bonded to the two substructures in either orientation. For example, the substructure "-C(O)N(R)-" may be bonded to two substructures as "-C(O)N(R)-" or as "-N(R)C(O)-", or it may be intercepted in one substructure. Similarly, the substructure [ka] teeth, [ka] as, or [ka] They may be bonded to two substructures or inserted into one substructure.
[0051] As used herein, the term "functional group" refers to an atomic group that can react with other atomic groups. Functional groups include, but are not limited to, the following: carboxylic acids (-(C=O)OH), primary or secondary amines (-NH2, -NH-), maleimides, thiols (-SH), sulfonic acids (-(O=S=O)OH), carbonates, carbamates (-O(C=O)N<), hydroxyls (-OH), aldehydes (-(C=O)H), ketones (-(C=O)-), hydrazines (>NN<), isocyanates, isothiocyanates, phosphoric acids (-O(P=O)OHOH), phosphonic acids (-O(P=O)OHH), haloacetyls, alkyl halides, acryloyls, aryl fluorides, hydroxylamines, disulfides, sulfonamides, sulfonic acids, vinyl sulfones, vinyl ketones, diazoalkanes, oxiranes, and aziridines.
[0052] If the prodrug of the present invention contains one or more acidic or basic groups, the present invention also includes corresponding pharmaceutically or toxicologically acceptable salts thereof, in particular pharmaceutically usable salts thereof. Accordingly, the prodrug of the present invention containing acidic groups can be used in accordance with the present invention, for example, as alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, or ammonium salts. More detailed examples of such salts include sodium salts, potassium salts, calcium salts, magnesium salts, or salts with ammonia or organic amines (e.g., ethylamine, ethanolamine, triethanolamine, etc.) or amino acids. There may also be prodrugs of the present invention containing one or more basic groups, i.e., protonable groups, and such prodrugs can be used in accordance with the present invention in the form of inorganic or organic acids and their addition salts. Examples of suitable acids include hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, oxalic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, formic acid, propionic acid, pivalic acid, diethylacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, pimelic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, sulfamic acid, phenolpropionic acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, isonicotinic acid, citric acid, adipic acid, and other acids known to those skilled in the art. Further methods for converting basic groups to cations, such as alkylation of amine groups to provide suitable counterions for positively charged ammonium groups and their salts, are known to those skilled in the art. When the prodrug of the present invention contains both an acidic and a basic group, the present invention also includes intramolecular salts or betaines (zwitterionic) in addition to the salt forms mentioned. Each salt can be obtained by conventional methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by contacting these prodrugs with organic or inorganic acids or bases in a solvent or dispersion, or by anion exchange or cation exchange with other salts. The present invention also includes all salts of the prodrugs of the present invention, which are not directly suitable for use in pharmaceuticals due to their low physiological compatibility, but can be used, for example, as intermediates in chemical reactions or in the production of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0053] The term "medically acceptable" means a substance that does not cause harm when administered to a patient and is preferably approved for use in animals, preferably for use in humans, by a regulatory body, such as the EMA (Europe) and / or the FDA (United States) and / or any other national regulatory body.
[0054] In this specification, the term “about” as used in combination with a number is used to indicate not only the number itself, but also a range of plus / minus 10% or less of the number, more preferably 8% or less of the number, even more preferably 5% or less of the number, and most preferably 2% or less of the number. For example, the phrase “about 200” is used to mean a range of 200+ / -10%, i.e., a range of 180 to 220, preferably a range of 200+ / -8%, i.e., a range of 184 to 216, even more preferably a range of 200+ / -5%, i.e., a range of 190 to 210, and most preferably a range of 200+ / -2%, i.e., a range of 196 to 204. A percentage indicated as “about 20%” is understood not to mean “20%+ / -10%”, i.e., a range of 10 to 30%, but rather that “about 20%” means a range of 18 to 22%, i.e., plus / minus 10% of the number 20.
[0055] As used herein, the term "polymer" means a molecule containing repeating structural units, i.e., monomers, linked by chemical bonds in a linear, cyclic, branched, cross-linked or dendrimer-like manner or in combinations thereof, which may be of synthetic origin, of biological origin or of a combination of both. It is understood that polymers may also contain one or more other chemical groups and / or substructures, such as, for example, one or more functional groups. Preferably, soluble polymers have a molecular weight of at least 0.5 kDa, for example, at least 1 kDa, at least 2 kDa, at least 3 kDa or at least 5 kDa. When the polymer is soluble, it preferably has a molecular weight of up to 1000 kDa, for example up to 750 kDa, for example up to 500 kDa, for example up to 300 kDa, for example up to 200 kDa, for example up to 100 kDa. It is understood that for insoluble polymers such as hydrogels, a meaningful molecular weight range cannot be provided. Proteins are also understood to be polymers in which the amino acids are the repeating structural units, even if the side chains of each amino acid may differ.
[0056] As used herein, the term "macromolecular" means a reagent or substructure containing one or more polymers or polymer substructures. The macromolecular reagent or substructure may optionally also contain one or more other substructures, and such other substructures are preferably selected from the group consisting of: · C 1-50 alkyl, C 2-50 alkenyl, C 2-50 alkynyl, C 3-10 cycloalkyl, 3- to 10-membered heterocyclyl, 8- to 11-membered heterobicyclic, phenyl, naphthyl, indenyl, indanyl and tetralinyl, and · bonds selected from the group comprising:
Chemical formula
[0057] Those skilled in the art will understand that polymerization products obtained from polymerization reactions do not necessarily all have the same molecular weight, but rather exhibit a molecular weight distribution. Therefore, as used herein, molecular weight range, molecular weight, monomer number range in a polymer, and monomer number in a polymer refer to the number-average molecular weight and monomer number average, i.e., the arithmetic mean of the molecular weight of the polymer or polymer substructure and the arithmetic mean of the number of monomers in the polymer or polymer substructure.
[0058] Therefore, in the case of a polymer substructure containing "x" monomer units, any integer substituted for "x" corresponds to the arithmetic mean number of the monomers. Any range of integers substituted for "x" provides an integer range in which the arithmetic mean number of the monomers resides. An integer "x" expressed as "approximately x" means that the arithmetic mean number of the monomers resides within the integer range of x+ / -10%, preferably x+ / -8%, more preferably x+ / -5%, and most preferably x+ / -2%.
[0059] As used herein, the term "number-mean molecular weight" refers to the usual arithmetic mean of the molecular weights of individual polymers.
[0060] With respect to a carrier, the term "water-soluble" as used herein means that, if such a carrier is part of the PTH prodrug of the present invention, at least 1 g of the PTH prodrug containing such a water-soluble carrier can be dissolved in 1 liter of water at 20°C to form a homogeneous solution. Therefore, with respect to a carrier, the term "water-insoluble" means that, if such a carrier is part of the PTH prodrug of the present invention, less than 1 g of the PTH prodrug containing such a water-insoluble carrier can be dissolved in 1 liter of water at 20°C to form a homogeneous solution.

[0063] As used herein with respect to a substructure or reagent, the term "PEG-based" means that the substructure or reagent contains PEG. Preferably, the PEG-based substructure or reagent contains at least 90% (w / w) PEG, such as at least 10% (w / w) PEG, for example at least 20% (w / w) PEG, for example at least 30% (w / w) PEG, for example at least 40% (w / w) PEG, for example at least 50% (w / w), for example at least 60% (w / w) PEG, for example at least 70% (w / w) PEG, for example at least 80% (w / w) PEG, for example at least 95%, etc. The remaining weight percentage of the PEG-based substructure or reagent is other substructures preferably selected from the following substructures and bindings: ·C 1-50 Alkyl, C 2-50 Alkenil, C 2-50 Alkinyl, C 3-10 Cycloalkyl, 3-10 membered heterocyclyl, 8-11 membered heterobicyclyl, phenyl, naphthyl, indenyl, indanyl and tetralinyl, and • Joins selected from the group including the following: [ka] (In the formula, The dashed line indicates binding to the substructure or the remainder of the reagent. -R and -R a (These are independently selected from the group consisting of -H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, and hexyl).
[0064] As used herein with respect to a substructure or reagent, the term "PEG system containing at least X% PEG" means that the substructure or reagent contains at least X% (w / w) ethylene glycol units (-CH2CH2O-), which may be arranged in alternating blocks or randomly distributed within the substructure or reagent, preferably all ethylene glycol units of the substructure or reagent are located within a single block, and the remaining weight percentage of the PEG system substructure or reagent is other substructures preferably selected from the following substructures and combinations: ·C 1-50 Alkyl, C 2-50 Alkenil, C 2-50 Alkinyl, C 3-10 Cycloalkyl, 3-10 membered heterocyclyl, 8-11 membered heterobicyclyl, phenyl, naphthyl, indenyl, indanyl and tetralinyl, and • Joins selected from the group including the following: [ka] (In the formula, The dashed line indicates binding to the substructure or the remainder of the reagent. -R and -R a (These are independently selected from the group consisting of -H, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, and hexyl).

[0356] Preferably, the total mass of the PTH prodrug of the present invention is at least 10 kDa, for example at least 12 kDa, for example at least 15 kDa, for example at least 20 kDa, or for example at least 30 kDa. Preferably, the total mass of the PTH prodrug of the present invention is up to 250 kDa, for example up to 200 kDa, 180 kDa, 150 kDa, or 100 kDa.
[0357] In a preferred embodiment, the PTH prodrug of the present invention has formula (IIe-i): [ka] (In the formula, The unmarked dashed lines indicate the bonding of the PTH substructure -D to nitrogen by forming an amide bond. A dashed line with an asterisk indicates a substructure. [ka] This shows the bond to, and in the formula, m and p are independent integers in the range of 400 to 500.
[0358] Preferably, -D is bonded to the PTH prodrug of formula (IIe-i) by the N-terminal amine functional group of the PTH substructure.
[0359] In another preferred embodiment, the PTH prodrug of the present invention has the formula (IIf-i): [ka] (In the formula, The unmarked dashed lines indicate the bonding of the PTH substructure -D to nitrogen by forming an amide bond. A dashed line with an asterisk indicates a substructure. [ka] This shows the bond to, and in the formula, m and p are independent integers in the range of 400 to 500.
[0360] Preferably, -D is bonded to the PTH prodrug of formula (IIf-i) by the N-terminal amine functional group of the PTH substructure.
[0361] In a preferred embodiment, the residual activity of the PTH prodrug of the present invention is less than 10%, more preferably less than 1%, even more preferably less than 0.1%, even more preferably less than 0.01%, even more preferably less than 0.001%, and most preferably less than 0.0001%.
[0362] As used herein, the term “residual activity” refers to the activity exhibited by the PTH prodrug of the present invention, in which a PTH substructure is conjugated to a carrier, relative to the activity exhibited by the corresponding free PTH. In this context, “activity” refers to activities that result in activation of adenylyl cyclase, such as the production of cAMP; activation of phospholipase C, such as the production of intramolecular calcium; or activation of the PTH / PTHrP1 receptor, such as the activation of osteoblast expression of RANKL (which binds to RANK (nuclear factor kB receptor activator)) on osteoclasts. It is understood that measuring the residual activity of the PTH prodrug of the present invention is difficult because it takes time for a certain amount of PTH to be released from the PTH prodrug, and such released PTH can distort the measurement results of the PTH prodrug. Therefore, it is customary to test the residual activity of a prodrug using a conjugate in which the drug substructure, in this case PTH, is irreversibly, i.e., stably conjugated to a carrier, and which approximates as closely as possible the structure of the PTH prodrug whose residual activity is to be measured.
[0363] Suitable assays for measuring the PTH activity and residual activity of PTH prodrugs, preferably in the form of stable analogs, according to the present invention include, for example, the measurement of cAMP production from HEK293 cells overexpressing the PTH / PTHrP1 receptor (Hohenstein et al., Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, September 2014, 98: 345-350), or cell-based assays for detecting cyclic AMP release, detected by homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) or ELISA, as validated according to ICHQ2(R1) (http: / / www.criver.com / files / pdfs / bps / bp_r_in_vitro_bioassays.aspx).
[0364] Surprisingly, -L 1The use of the -N terminal bond and the -Z branched PEG carrier, i.e., 2x20kDa PEG, was found to result in particularly low residual activity. Reduced residual activity is desirable because it reduces side effects.
[0365] Surprisingly, the PTH prodrug of the present invention has also been found to be able to achieve a stable plasma profile of PTH that ensures physiological serum and urinary calcium levels, or even reduced urinary calcium levels.
[0366] Preferably, the pharmacokinetic profile of the PTH prodrug of the present invention after subcutaneous administration exhibits a peak-to-trough ratio of less than 4 during one injection interval.
[0367] As used herein, the term "injection interval" refers to the time between two consecutive doses of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention.
[0368] As used herein, the term “peak-to-trough ratio” refers to the ratio between the highest and lowest plasma concentrations of PTH released from the PTH prodrug of the present invention during the period between two consecutive administrations to non-human primates, preferably cynomolgus monkeys.
[0369] The interval between two consecutive subcutaneous administrations, i.e., the dosing interval, is preferably at least 24 hours, for example, every 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, or 84 hours, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, or 156 hours, one week, two weeks, three weeks, or four weeks.

[0374] In another embodiment, the period between two consecutive subcutaneous administrations is 120 hours.
[0375] In another embodiment, the period between two consecutive subcutaneous administrations is 144 hours.
[0376] In another embodiment, the period between two consecutive subcutaneous administrations is one week.
[0377] The peak-to-trough ratio measured during each dosing interval is less than 4, preferably less than 3.8, more preferably less than 3.6, even more preferably less than 3.4, even more preferably less than 3.2, even more preferably less than 3, even more preferably less than 2.8, even more preferably less than 2.6, even more preferably less than 2.4, even more preferably less than 2.2, and most preferably less than 2.

[0379] Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one PTH prodrug of the present invention has a pH in the range of pH 3 to pH 8. More preferably, the pharmaceutical composition has a pH in the range of pH 4 to pH 6. Most preferably, the pharmaceutical composition has a pH in the range of pH 4 to pH 5.
[0380] In one embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one PTH prodrug of the present invention and at least one excipient is a liquid or suspension formulation. The pharmaceutical composition is understood to be a suspension formulation when the PTH prodrug of the present invention contains a water-insoluble carrier-Z'.
[0381] In another embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one PTH prodrug and at least one excipient of the present invention is a dry formulation.
[0382] Such liquid, suspension, or dry pharmaceutical compositions contain at least one excipient. Excipients used in parenteral formulations may be classified, for example, as buffers, isotonic modifiers, preservatives, stabilizers, absorption inhibitors, antioxidants, thickeners / viscosity enhancers, or other adjuvants. However, in some cases, one excipient may have a dual or triple function. Preferably, the at least one excipient included in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is selected from the group consisting of: (i) Buffering agents: Physiologically acceptable buffering agents to maintain pH within a desired range, such as sodium phosphate, bicarbonate, succinate, histidine, citrate and acetate, sulfate, nitrate, chloride, and pyruvate. Acid inhibitors, such as Mg(OH)2 or ZnCO3, may also be used; (ii) Isotonic modifiers: These are used to minimize pain that may result from cell damage caused by osmotic pressure differences at the injection depot. Examples include glycerin and sodium chloride. The effective concentration can be determined by osmotic measurement using an assumed molar osmotic concentration of 285–315 mOsmol / kg for serum; (iii) Preservatives and / or antibacterial agents: Parenteral formulations for multiple doses require the addition of preservatives at sufficient concentrations to minimize the risk of infection in patients by injection, and corresponding regulatory requirements have been established. Typical preservatives include m-cresol, phenol, methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, chlorobutanol, benzyl alcohol, phenylmercury nitrate, thimerosal, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, benzoic acid, chlorocresol, and benzalkonium chloride; (iv) Stabilizers: Stabilization is achieved by enhancing the protein's stabilizing ability, by destabilizing the denatured state, or by direct binding of the excipient to the protein. Stabilizers may include amino acids, e.g., alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, glycine, histidine, lysine, proline; sugars, e.g., glucose, sucrose, trehalose; polyols, e.g., glycerol, mannitol, sorbitol; salts, e.g., potassium phosphate, sodium sulfate; chelating agents, e.g., EDTA, hexaphosphates; ligands, e.g., divalent metal ions (zinc, calcium, etc.); other salts or organic molecules, e.g., phenolic derivatives. In addition, oligomers or polymers, e.g., cyclodextrin, dextran, dendrimers, PEG or PVP, or protamine or HSA may also be used. (v) Absorption inhibitors: Primarily ionic or nonionic surfactants or other proteins or soluble polymers, such as poloxamer (Pluronic F-68), PEG-dodecyl ether (Brij 35), polysorbate 20 and 80, dextran, polyethylene glycol, PEG-polyhistidine, BSA and HSA, and gelatin are used for coating the inner surface of the formulation container or for competitive adsorption to the inner surface. The selected excipient concentration and type depend on the action to be avoided, but typically a single layer of surfactant is formed at the interface just above the CMC value; (vi) Antioxidant agents: Antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, ectoin, methionine, glutathione, monothioglycerol, morin, polyethyleneimine (PEI), propyl gallate, and vitamin E. Chelating agents such as citric acid, EDTA, hexaphosphate, and thioglycolic acid may also be used; (vii) Thickeners or viscosity enhancers: In the case of suspensions, these are used to delay the sedimentation of particles in the vial and syringe, to facilitate the mixing and resuspension of particles, and to make the suspension easier to inject (i.e., with less force on the syringe plunger). Suitable thickeners or viscosity enhancers include, for example, carbomer thickeners, e.g., Carbopol 940, Carbopol Ultrez 10; cellulose derivatives, e.g., hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hypromellose, HPMC) or diethylaminoethylcellulose (DEAE or DEAE-C); colloidal magnesium silicate (Veegum) or sodium silicate; hydroxyapatite gel; tricalcium phosphate gel; xanthan gum; carrageenan, e.g., Satia gum UTC 30; Aliphatic poly(hydroxy acids), e.g., poly(D,L- or L-lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) and copolymers thereof (PLGA), terpolymers of D,L-lactide, glycolide and caprolactone; poloxamers; hydrophilic poly(oxyethylene) blocks and hydrophobic poly(oxypropylene) blocks for constituting poly(oxyethylene)-poly(oxypropylene)-poly(oxyethylene) triblocks (e.g., Pluronic®); polyether ester copolymers, e.g., polyethylene glycol terephthalate / polybutylene terephthalate copolymer; sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB); dextran or its derivatives Conductors; combinations of dextran and PEG; polydimethylsiloxane; collagen; chitosan; polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and derivatives; polyalkylimide; poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium (DADMA)); polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP); glycosaminoglycans (GAG), e.g., dermatan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, keratan sulfate, heparin, heparan sulfate, hyaluronan; ABA triblock or AB block copolymer, comprising a hydrophobic A block, e.g., polylactide (PLA) or poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and a hydrophilic B block, e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polyvinylpyrrolidone. Such block copolymers and the above-mentioned poly Roxamer may exhibit reverse thermal gelation behavior (a fluid state at room temperature to facilitate administration, and a gel state at temperatures higher than the sol-gel transition temperature at body temperature after injection); (viii) Spreading or diffusing agents: These regulate the permeability of connective tissue by hydrolysis of components of the extracellular matrix in the interstitial space (e.g., hyaluronic acid, a polysaccharide found in the intercellular space of connective tissue, for example, but not limited to these). Spreading agents, for example, hyaluronidase, for example, but not limited to these, temporarily reduce the viscosity of the extracellular matrix and promote the diffusion of injected drugs; and (ix) Other auxiliary agents: Wetters, viscosity modifiers, antibiotics, hyaluronidase, etc. Acids and bases such as hyaluronic acid and sodium hydroxide are auxiliary agents necessary for pH adjustment during manufacturing.

[0409] Quantitative measurements of serum calcium (sCa), urinary calcium, and serum phosphorus (sP) were performed using a Roche-Hitachi P800 module biochemical analyzer.
[0410] Determination of plasma total PTH(1-34) concentration: Total plasma PTH(1-34) concentrations were determined by sequential digestion of plasma protein precipitation followed by endoproteinase Lys-C (origin: Lysobacter enzymogenes) and endoproteinase Glu-C (origin: Staphylococcus aureus V8) of the supernatant, and then quantification of the N-terminal signature peptide (sequence: IQLMHNLGK) and C-terminal signature peptide (sequence: LQDVHNF). Subsequently, analysis by reverse-phase liquid chromatography and detection by mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC-MS) were performed.
[0411] Calibration standards for PTH(1-34) conjugate in blank plasma were prepared as follows: PTH(1-34) conjugate formulations were pre-diluted with formulation buffer to obtain standard aqueous solutions in the range of 5 to 300 μg / mL PTH(1-34) equivalents (concentration range 1) and 0.5 μg / mL to 100 μg / mL PTH(1-34) equivalents (concentration range 2). Then, each standard aqueous solution was diluted 1:100 with thawed heparinized plasma to obtain concentration ranges of 50 to 3000 ng / mL PTH(1-34) equivalents (diluted with rat plasma of concentration range 1) and 5 to 1000 ng / mL PTH(1-34) equivalents (diluted with monkey plasma of concentration range 2), respectively.
[0412] These solutions were used to generate calibration curves. Both signature peptides were weighted 1 / x2 in the calibration curves. For quality control, three samples unrelated to the calibration standard solutions were prepared according to the quality control samples: lower limit concentration (3–5 times the respective LLOQ), median range concentration (0.05–0.1 times the respective ULOQ), and upper limit concentration (0.5–0.8 times the respective ULOQ).
[0413] The sample preparation volume can be varied after sample preparation depending on the target signal response. The procedure for protein precipitation is described here with respect to the analysis of plasma samples derived from a monkey species. Protein precipitation was performed by adding 200 μL of pre-cooled (5-10°C) methanol to 100 μL of plasma sample. 180 μL of the supernatant was transferred to a new well plate and evaporated to dryness (under a gentle nitrogen flow at 45°C). The residue was dissolved using 50 μL of reconstituted solvent (50 mM Tris 0.5 mM CaCl2 buffer adjusted to pH 8.0). Protein digestion was performed as follows:
[0414] 20 μg of Lys-C (order number 125-05061, Wako Chemicals GmbH, Neuss, Germany) was dissolved in 80 μL of 10 mM acetic acid. 3 μL of the Lys-C solution was added to each cavity, and the samples were incubated at 37°C for 15 hours. Subsequently, 10 μg of Glu-C (order number V1651, Promega GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) was dissolved in 25 μL of water and added to each cavity, and incubation at 37°C was continued for 1.5 hours. After incubation, the samples were acidified with 2 μL of water / formic acid 4:6 (v / v), and 10 μL was injected into the UPLC-MS system.
[0415] LC-MS analysis was performed using an Agilent 1290 UPLC connected to an Agilent 6460 TripleQuad mass spectrometer with an ESI probe. Chromatography was performed at a flow rate of 0.30 mL / min (T=60°C) using a Waters Acquity BEH300 C18 analytical column equipped with a prefilter (particle size 1.7 μm; column dimensions used were 50 × 2.1 mm for rat-derived samples, or 100 × 2.1 mm for monkey-derived samples). Water (UPLC grade) containing 0.1% formic acid (v / v) was used as mobile phase A, and acetonitrile (UPLC grade) containing 0.1% formic acid was used as mobile phase B.
[0416] The gradient system for the analysis of rat plasma-derived samples included a linear increase from 0.1% B to 40% B over 7 minutes. The gradient system for the analysis of monkey plasma-derived samples included a linear increase from 8.0% B to 11.0% B over 6 minutes, followed by a linear increase to 26% B over 4 minutes. Mass spectrometry was performed in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, monitoring the transitions from m / z 437.2 to 131.0 and from m / z 352.3 to 463.0.
[0417] Alternatively, the total plasma PTH(1-34) concentration was quantified according to the following procedure: Total plasma PTH(1-34) concentrations were determined by sequential digestion of plasma protein precipitation followed by endoproteinase Lys-C (origin: Lysobacter enzymogenes) and endoproteinase Glu-C (origin: Staphylococcus aureus V8) of the supernatant, and then quantification of the N-terminal signature peptide (sequence: IQLMHNLGK) and C-terminal signature peptide (sequence: LQDVHNF). Subsequently, analysis by reverse-phase liquid chromatography and detection by mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC-MS) were performed.
[0418] Calibration standards for PTH(1-34) in blank heparinized plasma were prepared in the concentration range of 50–3000 ng / mL PTH(1-34) equivalents (diluted with rat plasma) and the concentration range of 1–1000 ng / mL PTH(1-34) equivalents (diluted with monkey plasma).
[0419] These solutions were used to generate calibration curves. For quality control, three samples unrelated to the calibration standard solutions were prepared according to the quality control samples: lower limit concentration (3 to 5 times the respective LLOQ), median range concentration (0.05 to 0.1 times the respective ULOQ), and upper limit concentration (0.5 to 0.8 times the respective ULOQ).
[0420] The sample preparation volume can be varied after sample preparation depending on the target signal response. The procedure for protein precipitation is described here for the analysis of plasma samples derived from rat species. Protein precipitation was performed by adding 100 μL of pre-cooled (5-10°C) methanol to 50 μL of plasma sample. 60 μL of the supernatant was transferred to a new well plate and evaporated to dryness (under a gentle nitrogen flow at 45°C). The residue was dissolved using 60 μL of reconstituted solvent (50 mM Tris 0.5 mM CaCl2 buffer adjusted to pH 8.0). Protein digestion was performed as follows:
[0421] 20 μg of Lys-C (order number 125-05061, Wako Chemicals GmbH, Neuss, Germany) was dissolved in 80 μL of 10 mM acetic acid. 3 μL of the Lys-C solution was added to each cavity, and the samples were incubated at 37°C for 15 hours. Subsequently, 10 μg of Glu-C (order number V1651, Promega GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) was dissolved in 25 μL of water, and 1.5 μL of this Glu-C solution was added to each cavity, and incubation at 37°C was continued for 1.5 hours. After incubation, the samples were acidified with 2 μL of water / formic acid 4 / 6 (v / v), and 10 μL was injected into the UPLC-MS system.
[0422] Chromatography was performed using a Waters Acquity BEH300 C18 analytical column (particle size 1.7 μm, column dimensions 50 × 2.1 mm). Water containing 0.1% formic acid (v / v) (UPLC grade) was used as mobile phase A, and acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid (UPLC grade) was used as mobile phase B.
[0423] Quantitative determination of plasma PEG concentration: Total plasma PEG concentrations were determined by quantification of the polymer portion of the PTH(1-34) conjugate after enzymatic digestion of plasma protein precipitation and its supernatant. Subsequent analysis was performed by size exclusion chromatography and mass spectrometry (SEC-MS).
[0424] Calibration standards for PTH(1-34) conjugates in monkey blank heparinized plasma were prepared in a concentration range of 50 to 1200 ng / mL PEG equivalents.
[0425] These solutions were used to generate a quadratic calibration curve. The calibration curve was weighted by 1 / x. For quality control, three samples unrelated to the calibration standard solution were prepared according to the quality control samples: lower end concentration (2–4 times the LLOQ concentration), median range concentration (0.1–0.2 times the ULOQ concentration), and upper end concentration (0.8 times the ULOQ concentration). Protein precipitation was performed by adding 200 μL of pre-cooled (5–10°C) methanol to 100 μL of plasma sample. 180 μL of the supernatant was transferred to a new well plate and evaporated to dryness (under a gentle nitrogen flow at 45°C). The residue was dissolved using 50 μL of reconstitution solvent (50 mM Tris 0.5 mM CaCl2 buffer adjusted to pH 8.0). Protein digestion was performed as follows: 20 μg of Lys-C (order number 125-05061, Wako Chemicals GmbH, Neuss, Germany) was dissolved in 80 μL of 10 mM acetic acid. 3 μL of the Lys-C solution was added to each cavity, and the samples were incubated at 37°C for 15 hours. Subsequently, 10 μg of Glu-C (order number V1651, Promega GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) was dissolved in 25 μL of water, and 1.5 μL of the Glu-C solution was added to each cavity, and incubation at 37°C was continued for 1.5 hours. After incubation, the samples were acidified with 2 μL of water / formic acid 4:6 (v / v), and 5 μL was injected into the SEC-MS system.
[0426] SEC-MS analysis was performed using an ESI probe with an Agilent 1290 UPLC connected to an Agilent 6460 TripleQuad mass spectrometer. Separate precursor ions of the polymer were obtained by high-voltage in-source fragmentation (200-300V) at the MS interface. Chromatography was performed at a flow rate of 0.50 mL / min (T=65°C) using a TOSOH TSK Gel SuperAW3000 analytical column (particle size 4.0 μm, column dimensions 150 × 6.0 mm). Water (UPLC grade) containing 0.1% formic acid (v / v) was used as mobile phase A, and acetonitrile (UPLC grade) containing 0.1% formic acid was used as mobile phase B. Chromatographic settings for sample analysis included a homogeneous concentration elution of 50% B over 8 minutes.
[0427] Mass spectrometry was performed in single-reaction monitoring (SRM) mode, monitoring the transition from m / z 133.1 to 45.1.
[0428] -L 1 Due to the reversible nature of the binding of - to -D, measurements of PTH receptor activity were performed using a stable analog of the PTH prodrug of the present invention. That is, measurements were performed using a structure similar to the structure of the PTH prodrug of the present invention, but with a stable binding of -Z to -D rather than a reversible binding.
[0429] This was necessary because the PTH prodrug of the present invention releases PTH during the experimental process, and this released PTH would affect the results.

[0488] [Example 24] Persistent PTH receptor activity of 2x20kDa PEG conjugates 16 and 17 in cell-based assays. The residual PTH activity of persistently PEGylated conjugates 16 and 17 was quantified by measuring cAMP products from HEK293 cells overexpressing the PTH / PTHrP1 receptor (Hohenstein A, Hebell M, Zikry H, El Ghazaly M, Mueller F, Rohde J., Development and validation of a novel cell-based assay for potency determination of human parathyroid hormone (PTH), Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis September 2014, 98: 345-350). PTH(1-34) from NIBSC (National Institute for Biological Standards and Control, UK) was used as the reference material.
[0489] result: Conjugate 16 showed receptor activity of 0.12% compared to the PTH(1-34) standard. Conjugate 17 showed receptor activity of 0.11% compared to the PTH(1-34) standard.
[0490] These results demonstrate a significant reduction in receptor activity with persistent 2x20kDa PEG conjugates 16 and 17. Similar conjugates with transient Ser1 or Lys26-bound PTH (e.g., 18 and 21) can be concluded to be suitable PTH prodrugs resulting in low residual receptor activity. Direct analysis of transient conjugates in cell assays was not possible due to linker cleavage under assay conditions. The released PTH would affect the assay results.
[0491] [Example 25] Pharmacokinetic studies of persistent 2x20kDa PEG conjugates 16 and 17 in rats Male Wistar rats (6 weeks old, 230-260 g) were administered 16 or 17 single intravenous (2 groups, n=3 animals each) or subcutaneous (2 groups, n=3 animals each) doses of 29 μg / rat PTH equivalent and 31 μg / rat PTH equivalent, respectively. Blood samples were collected up to 168 hours after administration to prepare plasma. Plasma concentrations were determined by quantifying the N-terminal signature peptide (sequence: IQLMHNLGK) and C-terminal signature peptide (sequence: LQDVHNF) after digestion of LysC and GluC, as described in "Materials and Methods".
[0492] Results: The dose was well tolerated, and there were no visible signs of discomfort during or after administration. No injection site reactions were observed at any point throughout this study. Total PTH(1-34) t at 15 minutes after intravenous injection of 16 and 17 (earliest point analyzed) max An increase was observed, followed by a slow decay of the total PTH(1-34) content, with half-lives of approximately 13 hours and 11 hours, respectively. After subcutaneous injection, the total PTH(1-34) concentration was observed for both 16 and 17 over 24 hours. max The pharmacokinetics (PK) content peaked at a certain point, after which it slowly decayed, with a half-life of approximately 1.5 days for both conjugates. Bioavailability was approximately 40% and 60%, respectively. Similar PK curves were obtained for the N and C-terminal signature peptides up to 168 hours post-administration, indicating the presence of intact PTH(1-34) in the conjugates.
[0493] The favorable long-lasting PK and stability of PTH in the aforementioned conjugates indicate the suitability of the persistent 2x20kDa PEG model compound as a sustained-release PTH prodrug after subcutaneous injection. Similar conjugates with transient Ser1 (e.g., 18) or Lys26 conjugate to PTH can be concluded to be suitable PTH prodrugs that provide long-lasting levels of bioactive PTH release.
[0494] [Example 26] Pharmacokinetic study of transient 2x20kDa S1 PEG conjugate 19 in cynomolgus monkeys Nineteen single subcutaneous doses of 70 μg / kg PTH equivalent were administered to non-wild male cynomolgus monkeys (2-4 years old, 3.7-5.4 kg) (animal n=3). Blood samples were collected up to 504 hours after administration to prepare plasma. Total plasma PTH(1-34) concentrations were determined by quantification of the N-terminal signature peptide (sequence: IQLMHNLGK) and C-terminal signature peptide (sequence: LQDVHNF) after digestion of LysC and GluC, as described in "Materials and Methods". PEG concentrations were determined using the method described in "Materials and Methods".
[0495] Results: The dose was well tolerated, and no signs of discomfort were observed during administration. One animal showed visible signs of discomfort 72 hours after administration, but recovered after a few days. No injection site reactions were observed at any point throughout this study. Total PTH(1-34) concentrations were measured over 24 hours. max The PEG concentration peaked at a certain point, after which the total PTH(1-34) content slowly decayed, with half-lives of approximately 2.5 days for the N-terminal signature peptide and 0.9 days for the C-terminal signature peptide. max The PEG concentration peaked at a certain point, then slowly decayed, with a half-life of 3.5 days.
[0496] Conjugate 19 can be concluded to be a suitable prodrug for sustained delivery of PTH.
[0497] [Example 27] Pharmacokinetic study of transient 2x20kDa S1 PEG conjugate 18 in cynomolgus monkeys Non-natural cynomolgus monkeys (2-3 years old, 2.5-4 kg) were administered 18 doses daily subcutaneously (animal n=2 - 1 male / 1 female) at doses of 0.2, 0.5, and 1 μg / kg PTH equivalent for 28 days. Blood samples were collected up to day 28 (samples were taken before administration on days 1, 13, and 27, and at 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after administration) to prepare plasma. Plasma PTH (1-34) concentrations were determined by quantification of the N-terminal signature peptide (sequence: IQLMHNLGK) and C-terminal signature peptide (sequence: LQDVHNF) after digestion of LysC and GluC, as described in "Materials and Methods".
[0498] Results: All dose administrations were performed without incident. No injection site reactions were observed at any point throughout the study. Dose linearity was observed in all three groups. Dose stacking was observed from day 1 compared to days 13 and 27. Total PTH(1-34) concentrations were quantified at steady state (during day 27) using the N-terminal signature peptide (sequence: IQLMHNLGK).
[0499] In cynomolgus monkeys, a low peak-to-trough ratio of less than 3 for total PTH(1-34) was observed in all dose groups after daily subcutaneous application at steady state. Since the free peptide concentration at steady state correlates with the total PTH(1-34) concentration, the peak-to-trough ratio for free peptide is less than 4 in cynomolgus monkeys.
[0500] [Example 28] Pharmacodynamic effects of daily subcutaneous injection of conjugate 18 or PTH(1-84) in 28-day study of thyroid parathyroidectomy (TPTx) rats This study was conducted to test and compare the effects of daily subcutaneous injections of compound 18 and the current standard treatment, PTH(1-84), in an animal disease model suitable for studying the treatment of hypoparathyroidism (HP). Rats that underwent blunt incision-induced thyroid parathyroidectomy (TPTx) are unable to produce parathyroid hormone, PTH, a major regulator of calcium homeostasis. Therefore, TPTx rats develop hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, which are characteristic of HP. Seventeen-week-old female SD TPTx rats (n=9 / group) were subcutaneously administered either compound 18 (5 μg PTH equivalent / kg / day; 1.2 nmol / kg / day, pH 4.0, in 10 mM acetate, 46 g / L mannitol), PTH(1-84) (70 μg PTH equivalent / kg / day; 7.3 nmol / kg / day, pH 5.0, in 10 mM citrate, 39.0 g / L mannitol), or a vehicle for 28 days. In addition, one group of rats (n=9) that underwent sham surgery equivalent to a normal physiological background control were also given the vehicle. Serum calcium (sCa) and phosphorus (sP) levels in these animals were measured before and after administration on days 1, 6, 12, and 27. Furthermore, bone turnover markers (P1NP and CTx) were measured, and bone quality was evaluated ex vivo by pQCT.
[0501] Results: On day 1, the mean sCa in TPTx rats before administration was 8.3 mg / dL, compared to 10.9 mg / dL in sham-operated control rats. sP values were 8.7 mg / dL and 5.9 mg / dL, respectively. Compound 18, administered daily at 1.2 nmol / kg, raised sCa to near-normal levels within a few days of administration while decreasing sP. On day 12 (day 5 in steady state with compound 18), sCa in this group of animals (compound 18 / sham control ratio = 1.01) was stable at a normal level (10.7 mg / dL), in contrast to the hypocalcemia level (8.1 mg / dL) measured in PTH(1-84)-treated rats (PTH(1-84) / sham control ratio = 0.76). In addition, 24-hour urinary Ca excretion on day 12 was comparable between animals treated with compound 18 and those treated with the sham control. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) were increased in the TPTx control group, as seen in HP patients. Treatment with compound 18 increased CTx while simultaneously decreasing BMD, BMC, and area compared to sham and vehicle-treated TPTx animals. A significant increase in cancellous bone BMD was observed in animals administered PTH(1-84) compared to both control groups.
[0502] We concluded that compound 18 could maintain sCa levels at levels comparable to those in sham control animals (corresponding to normal levels here) for 24 hours, even at doses as low as 20% of the molar equivalent of the PTH(1-84) dose tested here. In contrast, PTH(1-84) at 7.3 nmol / kg / day did not result in an increase in sCa compared to levels in TPTx rats injected with the vehicle. However, little increase in sP was observed in animals administered with PTH(1-84). This confirms the exposure to and response to PTH(1-84) in rats. After 28 days of treatment with compound 18, trabecular and cortical bone MD in the vertebrae were within the normal range, although anabolic effects on trabecular and cortical bone of the vertebrae were observed with respect to PTH(1-84).

[0518] [Example 33] Pharmacodynamic effects of compound 18 in cynomolgus monkeys during single-dose PK / PD studies In a single subcutaneous PK / PD study, compound 18 was administered at 1 μg / kg to male cynomolgus monkeys (N=3), and serum calcium (sCa) levels and urinary calcium excretion were evaluated over 96 hours post-administration.
[0519] Results: After administration of compound 18 at 1 μg / kg to cynomolgus monkeys, sCa levels remained within the normal range for 96 hours post-administration, although a clear downward trend in urinary calcium levels was observed during the first 24 hours.
[0520] Conclusion: At doses that maintain sCa within the normal calcium range, a concurrent decrease in urinary calcium excretion was observed. This indicates that compound 18 addresses a significant unmet medical need in patients with HP.
[0521] [Example 34] Pharmacokinetic study of transient 2x20kDa S1 PEG conjugate 18 in cynomolgus monkeys Wild cynomolgus monkeys (2-3.5 years old, 2-5 kg) (3-5 males / 3-5 females) were administered subcutaneously for 18 consecutive days at dose levels of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.5 μg PTH / kg. Blood samples were collected before administration on day 1 and at 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-administration, before administration on day 8, before administration and at 8 and 12 hours on day 14, and at 3, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 72, 168, and 336 hours on day 28 to prepare plasma. Total PTH(1-34) plasma concentrations were determined by quantification of the N-terminal signature peptide (sequence: IQLMHNLGK) after digestion with LysC and GluC, as described in "Materials and Methods".
[0522] Result:C maxSystemic exposure, expressed as AUC, increased almost proportionally to the dose. Total systemic exposure to PTH, expressed as AUC, accumulated approximately threefold from day 1 to day 28.
[0523] In cynomolgus monkeys, a low mean peak-to-trough ratio of total PTH was observed in all dose groups on day 28 after daily subcutaneous administration (steady state was observed from day 8).
[0524] [Example 35] Pharmacokinetic study of transient 2x20kDa S1 PEG conjugate 18 in Sprague Dolly rats Sprague Dolly Crl:CD(SD) rats (administration initiated at 8 weeks of age) were given 18 daily subcutaneous doses at dose levels of 10, 30, and 60 μg PTH / kg over 28 days. The TK group, consisting of 9 males and 9 females per dose group, was divided into three subgroups, each containing 3 rats. Blood samples were collected from 3 males and 3 females of each rat at each sampling time until day 28. Samples were collected before administration on day 1 and at 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 hours after administration, and at 3, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, and 336 hours on day 28 to generate plasma. Total PTH plasma concentrations were determined by quantification of the N-terminal signature peptide (sequence: IQLMHNLGK) after LysC and GluC digestion, as described in "Materials and Methods".
[0525] Result: Average C max Systemic exposure, expressed as AUC, increased almost proportionally to the dose. Total PTH systemic exposure, expressed as AUC, accumulated 3 to 6 times from day 1 to day 28. Systemic exposure in female rats was approximately twice as high as in male rats.
[0526] In Sprague Dolly rats, a low mean peak-to-trough ratio of total PTH was observed in all dose groups on day 28 after daily subcutaneous administration (steady state was observed from day 8).
