Description

The liquid preparation of long-acting human growth hormone conjugate
Technical field
The present invention relates to the liquid preparation without albuminous long-acting human growth hormone conjugate, it can when long-term storage Guarantee that the stability of described long-acting human growth hormone conjugate, wherein said long-acting human growth hormone conjugate comprise and immunity ball The human growth hormone that albumen Fc district is connected, and there is compared with native form the internal stability of prolongation.
Background technology
Human growth hormone (hereinafter referred to " hGH ") is by antepituitary gland (anterior pituitarygland) point Not glycosyafated (aglycosylated) peptide hormone secreted, and with the specific receptor on the cell surface of Various Tissues Interact, thus stimulate other somatomedin of secretion, with the size of responsible increase health some.Since finding from people Since the growth hormone of pituitary gland is effective therapeutic agent of growth hormone deficiency dwarfism (pituitary dwarfism), the need to hGH Ask and occur in that and increase explosively.But, can be extremely limited from the supply of the hGH of human pituitary extraction.It addition, accepting corpse The child of the hGH in source there occurs sick (the degenerative neurological disorder) Ke-refined of degenerative neurological After sick (Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease), U.S. FDA has prohibitted the use of the hGH extracted from corpse pituitary gland, this Be based on the assumption that the infectious prion (prion) causing disease propagate with the hGH of cadaveric origin (Roger, L., Science234:22,1986).At present, the biosynthetic human growth hormone that gene recombination technology is produced is used by E.coli Ratified commercially available by FDA.
Polypeptide (such as hGH) is prone to regression (degenerate) due to its low stability, and easily by serum albumin Enzymatic degradation and being removed by kidney or liver.Therefore, comprise polypeptide must execute to patient continually as the medicine of active constituents of medicine In order to maintain its serum levels and titer.But, by frequently using (being in most of the cases with the form of injection) albumen Matter medicine maintains the high serum levels of active polypeptide to be painful for patient.
In order to solve these problems, the serum stability by improving pharmaceutical grade protein and long term maintenance albumen are attempted The high serum levels of matter medicine makes drug effect maximize.Accordingly, it would be desirable to there is the stability of raising in patients and maintain The preparation of the pharmaceutical grade protein of the most high-caliber activity (and not causing immunne response).
In order to stable protein preventing contacts with protease and kidney loss, routinely by highly soluble polymer (such as Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)) chemistry adds the surface to pharmaceutical grade protein.Non-specific some of target protein of being conjugated to Or behind multiple position, PEG can improve the dissolubility of target protein, makes protein stabilization and prevents it from degrading, without causing Significantly side effect (Sada etc., J.Fermentation Bioengineering, 1991,71:137-139).PEG puts together can Contribute to stablizing of protein, but its activity can be significantly decreased.The PEG of higher molecular weight there is reduction with protein Reactivity, therefore reduces yield.
It is by using gene recombinaton for improving a kind of alternative strategy of the internal stability of physiologically active protein matter Target protein and the protein with high serum stability being blended, this is to be connected with each other by each gene of coded protein The method connecing and cultivating zooblast with fusion gene conversion.For example, it has been reported that fused protein, the most known carry Albumin or its fragment of high protein stability blend (International Patent Publication by gene recombinaton and target protein No.WO93/15199 and No.WO93/15200, European Patent Publication No.EP413,622).
United States Patent (USP) No.5,045,312 discloses use cross-linking agent and puts together with bovine serum albumin or rat immune globulin HGH there is the activity of enhancing compared with the growth hormone of unmodified.The unique cross-linking agent mentioned in that patent is low molecule Quantify compound (such as, carbodiimide or glutaraldehyde).But, such low-molecular-weight cross-linking agent is due to its non-specific connection Do not ensure that homogeneous composition and be likely to be of toxicity in vivo.It addition, this patent only discloses improves life by chemical coupling The activity of long hormone, but do not demonstrate the chemical coupling effect for the activity for other polypeptide drugs, and do not have The dependency of the stability (such as, persistency and the raising of serum half-life) of understanding and protein.
Recently, introduce the conjugate formed between physiological active polypeptide and immunoglobulin fc region and nonpeptidic polymer to make For durative action preparation, it makes pharmaceutical grade protein have both the activity of Min. reduction and the stability of raising, such as Korea S Patent No.10-0567902 (Physiologically Active Polypeptide Conjugate Having Improved In Vivo Durability) and Korean Patent No.10-0725315 (Protein Complex Using An Immunoglobulin FragmentAnd Method For The Preparation Thereof) described in.
According to these methods, hGH can be used as physiological active polypeptide thus can prepare long-acting hGH conjugate.These are treated Long-acting hGH conjugate as medicine, it is necessary to maintain its drug effect in vivo, suppresses it that physicochemical change, example occur simultaneously The degeneration that causes such as the impurity in light, heat or additive, assemble, adsorb or hydrolyze.Compared with hGH, long-acting hGH conjugate is at chi Very little bigger with on molecular weight, the most more it is difficult to stabilize it.
Generally, protein has the shortest half-life, and when being exposed to unsuitable temperature, water-air interface, height Show degeneration after pressure, physics or mechanical stress, organic solvent, microorganism pollution etc., such as monomer aggregation, aggregate and precipitate and Absorption is on vessel surface.Once degeneration, protein loses its intrinsic physicochemical properties and physiologically active.Due in big portion In the case of Fen, protein denaturation is irreversible, so for the protein of degeneration, recovering its intrinsic character almost Impossible.
Absorbed protein is prone to because of its degeneration assemble.The protein assembled may act as when being expelled in health resisting Immunogenic substance, it is therefore necessary to use sufficiently stable protein.Have studied the multiple method (John preventing protein denaturation Geigert, J.Parenteral Sci.Tech., 43, No5,220-224,1989, David Wong, Pharm.Tech.October, 34-48,1997, WeiWang., Int.J.Pharm., 185,129-188,1999, Willem Norde, Adv.ColloidInterface Sci., 25,267-340,1986, Michelle etc., Int.J.Pharm.120, 179-188,1995).
Some pharmaceutical grade proteins use lyophilizing technique to avoid stability problem.But, freeze-drying prods is inconvenient to be dissolved in note Penetrate with in solvent.It addition, lyophilization needs extensive freezer dryer, this improves in the production of pharmaceutical grade protein and invests into This.Also been proposed with spray dryer make protein powder with the stability of Protein requirement, but due to low yield The most unhelpful.Additionally, the high temperature being exposed to spray drying produces negative side effect to protein itself.
Have studied the stabilizer occurred as the alternative method overcoming these to limit, this is because when being added During to pharmaceutical grade protein solution, it is possible to suppress the physicochemical change of pharmaceutical grade protein and guarantee internal drug effect, even growing Also it is such after phase storage.Human serum albumin has been widely used as the stabilizer of multiple proteins medicine, and its performance Have been obtained for proving (Edward Tarelli etc., Biologicals (1998) 26,331-346).
When using together with human serum albumin, patient Mao Zhe is exposed to biological pollutant or pathogen (such as, Zhi Yuan Body, Protein virus, antibacterial and virus) risk, this is because while that the technique for purification of albumin includes inactivation, screens or examine Look into this type of biological pollutant or pathogen, but these possibly cannot be eliminated or inactivate completely.Such as, screening technology includes For some virus checking donor's serum, but this inspection is the most reliable.Especially, very small amount of some virus (as If fruit exists) possibly cannot detect.
Due to the chemical differences of different proteins, they can during storing under different conditions with different speed by Gradually inactivate.It is to say, by stabilizer extend storage period be different for different protein.To this end, according to institute State the physicochemical properties of target protein, stabilizer to be used and target protein in ratio, concentration and type Difference,.Unexpectedly, when used in combination, due to the competition between stabilizer and interaction, negative shadow can be caused Ring.Additionally, due to the character of target protein or concentration can change during storing, thus the stabilizer used can provide with Expect different effects.Accordingly, it would be desirable to substantial amounts of effort and preventive measure are with the protein in stable solution.
Especially, by be connected physiologically active peptide hGH with immunoglobulin fc region to improve in hGH body durability and Stability and the long-acting hGH conjugate needs prepared specifically form for stable protein, this is because they are at molecular weight Different from typical hGH ten points with in size.
International Patent Publication No.W093/19776 disclose comprise the buffer agent of pH6.0~7.0, aminoacid, mannitol and The liquid preparation of the stable hGH of optional preservative (such as benzyl alcohol).International Patent Publication No.WO94/03198 discloses Buffer agent, nonionic surfactant, preservative and optional neutral salt containing hGH, pH6.0 or the stable liquid of mannitol Body preparation.United States Patent (USP) No.6,448,225 discloses the buffer agent containing hGH, pH6.0, nonionic surfactant and optionally Neutral salt or the stable pharmaceutically acceptable liquid preparation of mannitol (but need not glycine).Korean Patent No.10-0537260 Disclose containing PEG (replacing nonionic surfactant and preservative), buffer agent and isotonic agent stablizing as active component Changing the liquid preparation of hGH, this is owing to nonionic surfactant and preservative cause hGH deaminizating significantly.
But, although hGH and immunoglobulin fc region both of which are peptide or protein, but they have different physics Chemical property, and the two needs the most stabilized.As it has been described above, different protein is because its chemical differences is during storing Gradually inactivate with different speed under different conditions.Against one's expectation, use and be suitable for stabilized peptide in combination Or the stabilizer of protein can have a negative impact because of the competition between them and interaction.Therefore, long-acting hGH is sewed Compound, the compositions of its stabilization formulations is different from those of the preparation for individually stablizing hGH.Indeed, it is difficult to find to be used for Stablize the preparation of both hGH and immunoglobulin fc region.
By the following present invention that creates: by the present inventor, long-term safety is stored long-acting hGH-immunoglobulin What Fc conjugate was carried out deeply and studies thoroughly, results in a finding that and comprises the buffer agent of pH5.0~6.0, non-ionic surface active The stabiliser compositions of agent, sugar alcohol and salt can provide the most useful liquid preparation with long-acting hGH conjugate, said preparation The stability improving long-acting hGH conjugate can be greatly promoted pollute without worry virus at long-term storage period.
