Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of polypeptide compounds, specifically to a polypeptide compound that is a dual incretin peptide analogue, which activates the receptors of human glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and can be applied to the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. The present invention also relates to a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt of the polypeptide compound, a polypeptide pharmaceutical composition, a pharmaceutical product, a method for preparation and its use. [Background technology]

[0002] The pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome is abnormal metabolism of various substances, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Overnutrition and decreased physical activity can lead to obesity and obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes. In recent years, the incidence of type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia has increased. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for approximately 90% of all diabetes cases. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by insulin resistance. The current standard treatment for type 2 diabetes includes diet, exercise, and treatment with oral and injectable hypoglycemic drugs. However, many patients with type 2 diabetes still have poorly controlled blood glucose levels.

[0003] GIP is a 42 amino acid gastrointestinal regulatory peptide that plays a physiological role in glucose balance by stimulating pancreatic β cells to secrete insulin and protecting pancreatic β cells in the presence of glucose. GLP-1 is a 37 amino acid peptide that stimulates insulin secretion, protects pancreatic β cells, and reduces weight by inhibiting glucagon secretion, gastric emptying, and food intake. GIP and gLP-1 are called incretins. Incretin receptors signaling plays an important role in glucose balance. In normal physiology, GIP and GLP-1 are secreted from the intestine after a meal, and these incretins enhance physiological responses to food such as satiety, insulin secretion, and nutrient processing. The incretin response is reduced in type 2 diabetes patients. Currently available incretin analogs or dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors control blood glucose by only a single mechanism of action. By using type 2 diabetes compounds with dual mechanisms of action, polypeptide compounds with superior hypoglycemic activity and weight loss effects can be obtained.

[0004] The administration of GLP-1 analogues is limited by side effects such as nausea and vomiting, and administration is often ineffective in improving glycemic control and weight loss. GIP alone has a very modest hypoglycemic potential in type 2 diabetes patients. Both native GIP and GLP-1 can only be used for short-term metabolic control, as they are rapidly inactivated by the ubiquitous protease DPP IV. DPP IV belongs to the epipeptidase class of protein hydrolases. The proteolytic stability of any peptide can be increased by introducing unnatural amino acids into the sequence. Thus, the use of unnatural amino acids can improve the stability of peptides against DPP IV protein degradation and other forms of degradation.

[0005] As part of the present invention, unnatural amino acids have a positive effect on the balance of GIP and GLP-1 agonist activity. For example, fatty acids can improve the pharmacokinetics of peptides by extending half-life through albumin binding motifs. Although fatty acids can be used to improve the half-life of peptides, applicants have unexpectedly discovered that the length, composition, and position of the fatty acid chain and the linker between the peptide and the fatty acid chain can affect the balance of GIP and GLP-1 agonist activity and extend the half-life of the peptide as part of the present invention. Several GIP analogs have shown GIP and GLP-1 activity in patent documents such as WO2013 / 164483, WO2014 / 192284, and WO2011 / 119657. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0059] As shown in Table 1, all of the polypeptide compounds retained high agonistic activity at the GLP-1R and reasonably high agonistic activity at the GIPR, and the modified unnatural amino acids and side chain groups did not significantly affect the agonistic activity.

[0060] 2. Blood sugar lowering experiment using polypeptide compounds After weaning, male ob / ob mice were raised in one cage and fed a high-fat diet. After 6-7 weeks of age, blood glucose levels were measured, and the mice were divided into a model control group, a polypeptide compound group (nine compounds were selected), a positive control liraglutide group, and a positive control semaglutide group according to random body weight, random blood glucose levels, and fasting blood glucose levels. Each test drug group and positive control group mice were subcutaneously injected with different doses of each test drug or positive drug liraglutide and semaglutide, and the model control group mice were subcutaneously injected with PBS buffer solution once. The random blood glucose levels of the mice in each group were measured before administration (0 hours) and 2, 4, 6, 10, and 24 hours after administration, and then the measurement time of the random blood glucose levels was adjusted according to the blood glucose status of the mice in each group and extended to 34, 48, 58, or 72 hours after administration. In addition, the random body weights of the mice in each group were measured before administration (0 hours) and 24 hours after administration, and the random body weights of the mice 48 or 72 hours after administration corresponding to the random blood glucose level measurement were measured. The blood glucose reduction rate and the area under the blood glucose curve within 24 hours of administration (AUC 0-24hglu ) and the rate of decline were calculated.

[0061] Blood glucose reduction rate = (blood glucose level of model control group - blood glucose level of treatment group) / blood glucose level of model control group x 100% AUC 0-24hglu (mmol / Lh·r)=(BG0+BG2)+(BG2+BG4)+(BG4+BG6)+(BG6+BG10)×2+(BG10+BG24)×7 BG0, BG2, BG4, BG6, BG10 and BG24 indicate blood glucose levels before administration (0 hour) and 2, 4, 6, 10 and 24 hours after administration, respectively. AUC 0-24hglu (mmol / Lh·r) Reduction rate = (Model control group AUC 0-24hglu -Treatment group AUG 0-24hglu ) / Model control group AUC 0-24hgln ×100% The experiment was conducted twice in total, with an interval of 8-10 days between each experiment. Each experiment was divided into 23 groups. The experimental groupings and dosage conditions are shown in Table 2.

[0062] [Table 2]

[0063] As shown in Figures 1-3, the results of the blood glucose lowering experiment showed that when the administration concentration of the polypeptide compound of the present invention was 100 μg / kg, the blood glucose lowering effect was almost equivalent to the blood glucose lowering effect of semaglutide and GIP, and in particular, the blood glucose lowering effect of sequence number 2 was almost identical to that of semaglutide.

[0064] 3. Effects of polypeptide compounds on random body weight in ob / ob mice As shown in the results of Table 3-5, single subcutaneous injection of 100g / kggIP, 100 and 300g / kggLP-1 had no obvious effect on the random body weight and its change in ob / ob mice. 24 and 48 hours after single subcutaneous injection of 100g / kg liraglutide and semaglutide groups, the random body weight and its change in ob / ob mice were significantly decreased, and 24, 48 and 72h after single subcutaneous injection of 300g / kg SEQ ID NO: 1-9, the random body weight and its change in ob / ob mice were significantly decreased. 24 hours after single subcutaneous injection of 100g / kg SEQ ID NO: 2, the change in random body weight of ob / ob mice was significantly decreased, and 24 and 48 hours after single subcutaneous injection of 300g / kg SEQ ID NO: 9, the change in random body weight of ob / ob mice was significantly decreased, and SEQ ID NO: 2 had almost the same effect as an equivalent dose of semaglutide. Therefore, a single subcutaneous injection of GIP and GLP-1 dual agonist compounds can significantly reduce random blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic ob / ob mice, and SEQ ID NO: 2 is equivalent to the effect of equivalent doses of semaglutide. After long-term administration, all polypeptide compounds showed better body weight control effect.
