[0244] Example 1: Preparation of compound 0120
[0245] Chemical synthesis of compound 0120 was accomplished on a Prelude-X automated peptide synthesizer using fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) / tert-butyl (t-Bu) synthesis strategy. Rink-amide MBHA resin with a substitution of 0.54 mmole / g was used. Fmoc-L-Lys(Mtt)-OH was used for the attachment of the fatty acid modification site. Boc-L-His(Trt)-OH was used for the N-terminal amino acid. Fmoc group was removed using 20% 4-methylpiperidine in DMF (2 times for 8 min each) before the amino acid condensation step. All standard amino acid condensations were performed using equimolar ratio of Fmoc amino acid, HATU and 2 equivalents of 4-methylmorpholine at room temperature for 25 min with 10 equivalents of excess theoretical peptide loading. Exceptions were condensations to C-alpha-methylated amino acids, which required two or three condensations for 60 min each to ensure complete condensation. After the completion of the above peptide-resin extension, the resin peptide was washed with dichloromethane and then treated with hexafluoroisopropanol / dichloromethane mixture (30% hexafluoroisopropanol, 10 mL) for 45 min at room temperature. The reaction was drained and then treated with hexafluoroisopropanol / dichloromethane mixture (30%, 10 mL) for 45 min at room temperature. The reaction was drained and the resin was washed with DMF three times. Additional coupling / deprotection cycles to extend the lysine side chain using Fmoc / tBu solid phase synthesis strategy on the same automated peptide synthesizer involved Fmoc-AEEA-OH (2 times), Fmoc-L-Glu-OtBu (1 time) and eicosanedioic acid mono-t-butyl ester (1 time). Condensations were performed using equimolar ratio of Fmoc amino acid, HATU and 2 equivalents of 4-methylmorpholine at room temperature for 25 min with 10 equivalents of excess theoretical peptide loading. An exception was the condensation of eicosanedioic acid mono-t-butyl ester, which required at least 3 hours of condensation at room temperature to ensure complete condensation.
[0246] After the synthesis is completed, the obtained resin peptide is washed with DMF, DCM for 3 times, and then vacuum dried. Then, fresh prepared cleavage solution 10 mL (trifluoroacetic acid: triisopropylsilane: water = 90:5:5, v:v:v) is added, and the reaction is oscillated at room temperature for 3-4 hours. After the reaction is completed, the filtrate is filtered, and the resin is washed with trifluoroacetic acid for 2 times. Then, the filtrate is combined, and a large amount of methyl tert-butyl ether is added to precipitate the crude peptide solid. After centrifugation to remove the supernatant, the crude peptide with the number 0120 is obtained. The crude peptide is dissolved in a mixed solvent containing 20% acetic acid / water, filtered through a 0.22 um membrane, and then separated by a WATERS Prep150 LC reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography system. The mobile phase is A (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, 10% acetonitrile, aqueous solution) and B (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, 90% acetonitrile, aqueous solution). The chromatographic column is X-SELECT OBD C-18 (WATERS) reverse phase chromatographic column, and the detection wavelength of the chromatograph is set to 220 nm during the purification process, and the flow rate is 15-20 mL / min. After the product related fractions are collected and freeze-dried, the pure polypeptide of compound number 0120 is obtained. The purity and compound identity of the polypeptide pure product are determined by analytical ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography / mass spectrometry, and the purity is 98.03%, and the measured molecular weight of the compound is 4854.2.
[0247] Example 2: Biological activity test of compound 0120
[0248] The purpose of this example is to detect the agonist activity of the test compound 0120 on human glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, human glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor and human glucagon receptor.
[0249] 2.1 Experimental method:
[0250] Functional activity was determined in CHO-K1 clonal cell lines expressing GIPR, GLP-1R and GCGR. In a 10 pL assay volume, polypeptides were diluted (8-10 points, 10-fold dilutions) in DMEM / F12 1:1 (HyClone, SH30023.01) supplemented with 5% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum, Gibco, 10099141), 0.1% Casein (Sigma, C4765), 0.25 mM IBMX (Selleck, S5836). SV 96-well plates (Cisbio, 66PL96025) were seeded with the respective receptor cells (5000 cells / well) and incubated with the configured polypeptides under incubation conditions of 37°C for 30 minutes. The resulting increase in intracellular cAMP was quantitatively determined using the cAMP-GS dynamic HTRF assay kit (Cisbio, 62AM4PEJ). Briefly, intracellular cAMP levels were detected by adding cAMP-d2 conjugate in cell lysis buffer followed by the addition of the antibody anti-cAMP-Eu cryptate (also in cell lysis buffer). The resulting competition assay was incubated for at least 60 minutes at room temperature and then detected using a Tecan Infinite F Plex instrument with excitation at 320 nm and emission at 665 nm and 620 nm. The measured data (emission at 665 nm / 620 nm * 10000) is inversely proportional to the amount of cAMP present and converted to cAMP content per well using a cAMP standard curve.
[0251] The amount of cAMP generated per well was converted to percent of the maximal response observed with human GLP-1 (7-36)-NH2, human GCG (1-29) or human GIP (1-42)-NH2 (purchased from sigma). Using the percent maximal response vs. added polypeptide concentration, relative EC50 values were derived by nonlinear regression analysis, fitted into a four-parameter logistic equation. See Table 1 below for specific data. LY3437943 molecule see WO2019 / 125938 Example 12, the aforementioned patent is incorporated by reference in its entirety into the present application.

[0268] Example 5: Stability investigation of pharmaceutical composition
[0269] The formulations 1-5 prepared in Example 4 were placed under high temperature conditions for 1 month to investigate the chemical stability. The prescription samples were detected by HPLC for related substances and by SEC for HMPW. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0272] Table 4 Formulation 3-5 chemical stability results
[0273] The ASAP stability prediction results show that the hydrolytic impurities produced by the N-terminal His-Aib breakage are low-activation-energy sensitive, and the increase in temperature will significantly increase the chemical instability of the impurities.
[0274] From the results of the high-temperature accelerated test in Table 4, it can be seen that by adding zinc ions in the prescription, the growth of hydrolytic impurities (RRT 1.08) and aggregates (HMPW) in the compound is slowed down, and the total degradation of impurities is reduced, which meets the requirements for impurities in the product at the end of the shelf life in clinical use.

[0289] 8.1 Test method:
[0290] Male SD rats, body weight 200-250 g, 6-7 weeks old. According to the dose of 1060 nmol / kg, the subcutaneous injection was completed, and 3 animals were administered for each compound.

[0298] Since mannitol and phenol have a large interference in the far ultraviolet region during circular dichroism test, mannitol and phenol and other excipients are not added in the prescription for high-level structure characterization. The circular dichroism characterization of 0120 zinc-containing (10 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, pH 7.5) / zinc-free (10 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, pH 7.5) preparation was carried out, and the results are shown in Table 12. The addition of zinc ions does not significantly change the secondary structure under the condition of pH 7.5.
