Description

A co-agonist targeting GLP-1R, GIPR, and GCGR Cross-references

[0001] This application incorporates Chinese Patent Application No. 202411001515.3, filed on May 28, 2024, entitled “A Co-agonist Targeting GLP-1R, GIPR and GCGR”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of peptide drug technology, and in particular to a co-agonist targeting GLP-1R, GIPR and GCGR. Background Technology

[0003] The problem of obesity in humans is gradually worsening and is closely linked to chronic diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

[0004] 1. The prevalence of obesity:

[0005] For example, according to the "Report on Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of Chinese Residents (2020)," more than half of Chinese adults are overweight or obese, with an overweight rate of 34.3% and an obesity rate of 16.4%.

[0006] Among children under 6 years old, about one in ten are overweight or obese, with overweight and obesity rates of 6.8% and 3.6%, respectively; among adolescents aged 6 to 17, nearly one in five are overweight or obese, with overweight and obesity rates of 11.1% and 7.9%, respectively.

[0007] Regarding gender differences, among children and adolescents, boys have a higher rate of overweight and obesity than girls; while among adults, although men have historically had a lower rate of overweight and obesity than women, this gender difference has been narrowing or even reversing in recent years.

[0008] 2. Socioeconomic factors of obesity:

[0009] The overweight and obesity rate is also higher among people with higher socioeconomic status.

[0010] Overweight and obesity rates are rising faster in rural areas than in urban areas, and the urban-rural gap is gradually narrowing.

[0011] 3. The association between obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD):

[0012] Obesity is a significant risk factor for the development of NAFLD.

[0013] NAFLD is a chronic liver disease characterized by fat accumulation and inflammation in the liver, which can eventually lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

[0014] Obesity promotes the development of NAFLD by increasing insulin resistance and inflammation.

[0015] 4. Management and treatment of obesity:

[0016] Currently, for example, in China, only orlistat, liraglutide, smegglutide, and benaglutide have been approved for the treatment of obesity. There are no products for the treatment of NAFLD or obesity combined with NAFLD.

[0017] Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a hormone primarily produced by L cells in the intestine. It belongs to the incretin family, and its receptor is called the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R). GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are novel hypoglycemic agents that activate GLP-1R to enhance insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, inhibit glucagon secretion, and delay gastric emptying. This results in reduced food intake through central appetite suppression, thereby lowering blood sugar and promoting weight loss.

[0018] Furthermore, the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) is one of the most important targets for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and it has been nearly forty years since the target was discovered.

[0019] GIPR (Gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor) is the receptor for GIP and is a G protein-coupled receptor with seven transmembrane domains. GIP regulates energy metabolism, particularly the incretin effect, through its interaction with GIPR. Studies have shown that GIPR plays a crucial role in regulating insulin secretion, glucose and lipid metabolism, and is essential for maintaining normal metabolic function.

[0020] GCGR protein is a glucagon G protein-coupled receptor that is crucial for blood glucose regulation and actively controls hepatic glucose production. It promotes glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, which are essential for the fasting response.

[0021] The three receptors GLP-1R, GIPR, and GCGR proteins play a key role in the treatment of obesity and NAFLD, and multiple receptor agonists that target these three receptors simultaneously also have a synergistic effect.

[0022] The inventors have discovered that the related technology has at least the following problems:

[0023] Compared with single receptor agonist therapy, the high activity of multiple receptor agonists can reduce the dosage and thus reduce adverse reactions to some extent. Summary of the Invention

After the reaction is complete, wash the reactor four times, add 0.6 mmol of acetic anhydride and 20 mL of DCM mixture, and then add 0.6 mmol of DIEA and react for 30 min.

[0078] 1.5 Washing: After the liquid in the reactor is drained by a circulating water vacuum pump, DMF is added to the reactor through a wash bottle. The volume of the reagent should be about 3 times the volume of the resin to completely immerse the resin in the solution.

[0085] 1.12 Repeat steps 1.6-1.11, coupling the remaining amino acids sequentially until peptide coupling is complete (see 1.6), followed by washing (see 1.5).

[0086] 1.13 BOC blocking: Add 2 mmol BOC anhydride and 20 mL DCM mixture, then add 2 mmol DIEA and react for 30 min, then wash (same as 1.5).

[0087] 1.14 Side chain modification: dde was removed using a DMF solution containing 1% hydrazine hydrate. 20 ml was added each time, with each addition lasting 15 min, repeated 3 times. Coupling of FMOC-PEG2-OH, FMOC-Glu-Otbu, and diabetes-C20 was performed according to procedures 1.6-1.11.
