Description

GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptor triple agonists
Technical Field
The present invention relates to novel compounds which are agonists of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R), the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) and the glucagon receptor (GcgR) having a prolonged spectrum of action.
Incorporation by reference of the sequence listing
The present application is filed with a sequence listing in electronic form. The entire contents of this sequence listing are incorporated herein by reference. A sequence table named "200078WO01 sequence listing_ST25" was 37,918 bytes, created at 2021, 10, 21.
Background
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is an enteroendocrine cell derived hormone and is one of two important endogenous physiological incretins. GLP-1 improves glycemic control by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion in response to nutrients (glucose), inhibits glucagon secretion by pancreatic alpha cells, slows gastric emptying, and induces weight loss primarily by reducing food intake. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is another important incretin that improves glycemic control by stimulating insulin secretion in response to nutrients (fat, glucose). Furthermore, GIP appears to improve plasma lipid distribution and stimulate calcium accumulation in bone. GIP analogs induce weight loss and improve glycemic control by superposition/synergy with GLP-1 analogs in dual administration and as single molecule co-agonists (Finan et al, sci Transl Med,2013,5 (209): 2090151; frias et al, cell Metab,2017,26 (2): 343-352; coskun et al, mol Metab,2018,18:3-14; frias et al, lancet,2018,392 (10160):2180-2193), and thus represent suitable candidates for amplifying GLP-1-based pharmacology.
Glucagon (Gcg) enhances hepatic glucose production by promoting glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, thereby preventing the occurrence of hypoglycemia. In addition, glucagon has been shown to stimulate lipolysis, increase energy expenditure, and reduce hepatic lipoprotein production. Glucagon has been shown to provide additional weight loss when combined with GLP-1 (Evers et al, J Med Chem 2017,60 (10): 4293-4303; henderson et al Diabetes Obes Metab 2016,18 (12): 1176-1190; day et al, nat Chem Biol 2009,5 (10): 749-757) compared to the effect achieved by GLP-1 alone. This appears to be driven by the combination of the anorexia/satiety effect of GLP-1 with the thermogenic and lipolytic effects of glucagon. As shown by clinical studies of two GLP-1/Gcg receptor co-agonists, insulinotropic and insulin sensitisation of GLP-1 can counteract the potential diabetogenic potential of chronic glucagon action (Tillner et al, diabetes Obes Metab,2019,21 (1): 120-128; parker et al, J Clin Endocrinol Metab,2019,105 (3): 803-820). However, the ratio of GLP-1 activity to glucagon activity must be carefully controlled to maintain glycemic control, thereby limiting the weight loss efficacy that can be achieved.
When combined with both GLP-1 and GIP, the glucagon limited therapeutic window can be alleviated, both GLP-1 and GIP can acutely stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion and chronically enhance insulin sensitivity. This dual incretin activity is predicted based on mouse pharmacology to allow more aggressive glucagon pharmacology, pushing additional efficacy with less propensity for diabetes. In addition, the effect of glucagon on energy expenditure is neither counteracted by GLP-1 nor GIP, which in turn provide their own anorexic effects. Thus, triple agonist peptides are expected to provide glucose control with a higher fat mass reduction than can be achieved using GLP-1/GIP or GLP-1/Gcg co-agonism (Finan et al, nat. Med.,2015,21 (1): 27-36).
GLP-1/GIP/Gcg receptor triple agonists and their potential medical uses are described in several patent applications. Long acting triple agonists suitable for once weekly administration in humans are described in WO 2019/125929, WO 2019/125938 and WO 2015/067716. Co-administration of a long acting glucagon analog with a long acting GLP-1/GIP co-agonist is described in WO 2017/009236. Triple agonists intended to be extended by conjugation to an Fc fragment are described in US 2019/0218269 and US 2019/0153060. Exendin-4 derivatives with triple agonistic activity and prolongation suitable for once daily administration in humans are described in WO2017/009236, WO 2015/155141, WO 2014/096145, WO 2014/096148 and WO 2014/096150. However, no triple agonist product has been marketed until now.

GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor triple agonists
The present invention relates to compounds that are agonists of the GLP-1 receptor, the GIP receptor and the glucagon receptor. Each of these agonists may also be referred to as "GLP-1/GIP/Gcg receptor triple agonists" or "triple agonists". Receptor agonists as described herein are compounds that bind to the receptor and elicit a response to the natural ligand (see, e.g., "Principles of Biochemistry", AL Lehninger, DL Nelson, MM Cox, second edition, worth Publishers,1993, page 763).
In some embodiments, the GLP-1/GIP/Gcg triple agonist is a compound that binds to each of the three GLP-1R, GIPR and GcgR receptors and elicits a response at each receptor, i.e., a compound capable of activating each of the GLP-1R, GIPR and GcgR receptors.
The term "compound" is used herein to denote a molecular entity, and thus "compound" may have different structural elements in addition to the smallest element defined for each compound or group of compounds. Thus, the compound may be a peptide or a derivative thereof, as long as the compound comprises defined structural and/or functional elements.
The term "compound" is also intended to encompass pharmaceutically relevant forms thereof, i.e., a compound as defined herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, amide or ester thereof.
The term "peptide" refers to a sequence of two or more amino acids. "peptide" may also include amino acid extensions at the N-terminal and/or C-terminal positions and/or truncations at the N-terminal and/or C-terminal positions. Typically, amino acid residues may be represented by their full name, their single letter code, and/or their three letter code. These three ways are completely equivalent.
Amino acids are molecules containing amino and carboxylic acid groups and optionally containing one or more additional groups often referred to as side chains.
The term "amino acid" includes proteinogenic (or natural) amino acids (20 of which are standard amino acids) as well as non-proteinogenic (or non-natural) amino acids. Protein-type amino acids are amino acids that are naturally incorporated into proteins. Standard amino acids are amino acids encoded by the genetic code. Non-protein amino acids are either not present in the protein or are not produced by standard cellular mechanisms (e.g., they may have undergone post-translational modification). Non-limiting examples of non-protein amino acids are Aib (alpha-aminoisobutyric acid or 2-aminoisobutyric acid), norleucine (Nle), norvaline, and the D-isomer of protein amino acids.
Hereinafter, each amino acid of a peptide for which optical isomer is not specified should be understood to mean the L-isomer (unless otherwise specified).
GLP-1/GIP/Gcg triple agonists described herein comprise or consist of a peptide and a substituent. In some embodiments, the peptide is a synthetic peptide generated to optimize activity at GLP-1, GIP and Gcg receptors. As demonstrated in the examples herein, compounds have been identified that have receptor activity at each of the GLP-1 receptor, the GIP receptor, and the Gcg receptor.
Triple agonists described herein also exhibit extended half-lives obtained by including substituents of fatty acids.
In some embodiments, the carboxyl terminus of the triple agonist has a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), also known as the C-terminal acid. In some embodiments, the carboxy terminus of the triple agonist may optionally comprise an amide group (C (=o) -NH) 2 ) Also known as C-terminal amides, which are naturally occurring in certain proteins with-NH 2 Instead of modification of-OH, such as seen with native exendin-4.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts
In some embodiments, the triple agonists described herein are in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
For example, salts are formed by chemical reactions between bases and acids, such as: 2NH 3 +H 2 SO 4 →(NH 4 ) 2 SO 4
The salt may be a basic salt, an acid salt, or it may not be both (i.e., a neutral salt). In water, the basic salt produces hydroxide ions and the acid salt produces hydronium ions.
In some embodiments, the salts of the triple agonists of the present invention are formed by adding cations or anions between the anions or cationic groups, respectively. These groups may be located in the peptide moiety, and/or in the side chain of the triple agonist.
Non-limiting examples of anionic groups of the triple agonists described herein include free carboxyl groups in the side chains and free carboxyl groups in the peptide moieties. In some embodiments, the peptide moiety includes a C-terminal free carboxylic acid group. In some embodiments, the peptide moiety includes a free carboxyl group at an internal acidic amino acid residue, such as Asp and Glu. In some embodiments, the triple agonists described herein do not include a free carboxyl group.
Non-limiting examples of cationic groups in the peptide moiety include the free amino group at the N-terminus, and the free amino group of internal basic amino acid residues such as His, arg, and Lys. In some embodiments, the triple agonists described herein do not include an N-terminal free amino group.
In a particular embodiment, the triple agonist is in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
Functional properties
In a first aspect, the triple agonist as described herein is an agonist for all receptors of GLP-1R, GIPR and GcgR as tested by in vitro potency as described in example 2 herein. Thus, the triple agonists described herein may activate each of GLP-1R, GIPR and GcgR.
Additionally or alternatively, in a second functional aspect, the triple agonist has an in vivo effect on body weight, food intake and glucose tolerance.
Additionally or alternatively, in a third functional aspect, the triple agonist produces improved pharmacokinetic properties compared to the natural hormones GLP-1, GIP and Gcg.
Bioactivity-in vitro potency
In this section, the term "potency" is used interchangeably with "biological activity" and "activity".
According to a first functional aspect, a triple agonist as described herein is effective on GLP-1R, GIPR and GcgR. The peptides described herein are also effective against GLP-1R, GIPR and GcgR. In some embodiments, a triple agonist as described herein has an effective in vitro effect of activating hGLP-1R, hGIPR and hGcgR.
In some embodiments, potency is determined by in vitro potency, i.e., the expression of a triple agonist described herein (or a peptide described herein) in each of GLP-1R, GIPR and GcgR in a functional receptor assay. In some embodiments, the functional receptor assay determines the in vitro potency of a triple agonist (or peptide described herein) described herein, respectively, on each of hGLP-1R, hGIPR and hGcgR.
The term "half maximal effective concentration" (also referred to as "EC 50 ") refers to the concentration at which a response halfway between the baseline and maximum is induced with reference to the dose response curve. EC (EC) 50 The efficacy of the compound was measured and represented by the concentration at which 50% of its maximum effect was observed.
Thus, the in vitro potency of a triple agonist as described herein can be determined by assaying EC as follows 50 To determine. EC (EC) 50 The lower the value, the better the efficacy. To further characterize such compounds, it may also be desirable to consider the in vitro potency of the natural hormones relative to each receptor, namely hGLP-1 (7-37) (SEQ ID NO: 35), hGIP (SEQ ID NO: 36) and hGcg (SEQ ID NO: 37).
For example, in vitro efficacy can be determined in media containing membranes expressing the appropriate receptor, and/or in assays using whole cells expressing the appropriate receptor.
For example, the functional response of human GLP-1, GIP or Gcg receptor may be measured in a reporter assay, e.g., in a stably transfected BHK cell line expressing human or mouse GLP-1, GIP or Gcg receptor and containing CAMP Response Element (CRE) DNA coupled to a promoter and a firefly luciferase (CRE luciferase) gene. When cAMP is produced due to activation of GLP-1, GIP or Gcg receptors, this in turn results in expression of the luciferase. Luciferase may be determined by the addition of luciferin, which is converted by the enzyme to oxidized luciferin and produces bioluminescence, which is measured as a reporting indicator of in vitro efficacy. One non-limiting example of such an assay is described in example 2 described herein.
In some embodiments, a triple agonist as described herein is capable of activating hGLP-1R, hGIPR and hGcgR. In some embodiments, a triple agonist as described herein is capable of activating hGLP-1 in vitroR, hGIPR and hGcgR, EC in CRE luciferase reporter assays as described in example 2 herein 50 Less than 500pM, such as less than 100pM, such as less than 50pM.
In some embodiments, the triple agonists as described herein have in vitro potency against hGLP-1R, hGIPR and hGcgR, as determined using the method of example 2, corresponding to an EC of equal to or less than 200pM, more preferably less than 75pM, or most preferably less than 50pM 50
In one embodiment, in the human GLP-1, GIP and Gcg receptor assays described in example 2, EC 50 From 0.5 to 500pM, such as from 0.5 to 100pM, or such as from 0.5 to 50pM.

The effect of a triple agonist as described herein on body weight, food intake and glucose tolerance can be determined in such mice, for example, as described in example 4 herein.
In some embodiments, the triple agonists as described herein exhibit the ability to reduce body weight, food intake, and improve glucose tolerance in DIO mice, as described in example 4.
In some embodiments, a triple agonist as described herein reduces body weight in DIO mice.
In some embodiments, a triple agonist as described herein reduces food intake in DIO mice.
In some embodiments, a triple agonist as described herein improves glucose tolerance in DIO mice.

Pharmacokinetic profile-in vivo half-life in minipigs
According to a third functional aspect, a triple agonist as described herein has improved pharmacokinetic properties, e.g. an extended terminal half-life, e.g. compared to the natural hormones GLP-1, GIP and Gcg. The extension of the terminal half-life means that the compound in question is cleared more slowly from the body. For the triple agonists described herein, this results in an extended duration of pharmacological action (entils).
The pharmacokinetic properties of a triple agonist as described herein can be suitably determined in vivo in Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies. Such studies were conducted to evaluate how the drug compound is absorbed, distributed and eliminated in vivo over time, and how these processes affect the concentration of the triple agonist in vivo.
In the discovery and preclinical stages of drug development, PK studies can be performed using animal models such as mice, rats, monkeys, dogs, or pigs. Any such model can be used to test the PK properties of the triple agonists described herein.
In such studies, single doses of the drug are typically administered intravenously (i.v.), subcutaneously (s.c.), or orally (p.o.) to animals in the form of related formulations. Blood samples were withdrawn at predetermined time points after administration and analyzed for drug concentration by a related quantitative determination. Based on these measurements, the time-plasma concentration curves of the compounds under study are plotted and the data are subjected to so-called non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis.
Terminal half-life is an important parameter, as long half-life indicates that less frequent dosing of the compound is possible. In some embodiments, the terminal half-life is the half-life in a minipig following intravenous administration (t 1/2 ) For example, as described in example 3 herein.
In some embodiments, the triple agonist as described herein has a terminal half-life in a minipig of at least 30 hours, preferably at least 40 hours, even more preferably at least 60 hours, as measured after intravenous administration.
Production process
The triple agonists described herein or fragments thereof may be produced by classical peptide synthesis, e.g., solid phase peptide synthesis using t-Boc or Fmoc chemistry, or other established techniques, see, e.g., greene and Wuts, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", john Wiley&Sons,1999,Florencio Zaragoza"Organic Synthesis on solid Phase", wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH,2000, and "Fmoc Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis", oxford University Press,2000, by W.C.

The solid phase peptide synthesis method (SPPS method, including amino acid deprotection method, method of cleaving peptide from resin, and purification method thereof), and method of detecting and characterizing the resulting peptide (LCMS method) are described below.
The resin used to prepare the C-terminal peptide Amide is an H-Rink Amide-ChemMatrix resin (e.g., loaded with 0.5 mmol/g) or Rink Amide AM polystyrene resin (e.g., loaded with 0.6 mmol/g) or PAL Amide AM resin (e.g., loaded with 0.6 mmol/g).

Unless specifically stated otherwise, the Fmoc protected amino acid derivatives used are recommended standards: fmoc-Ala-OH, fmoc-Arg (Pbf) -OH, fmoc-Asn (Trt) -OH, fmoc-Asp (OtBu) -OH, fmoc-Cys (Trt) -OH, fmoc-Gln (Trt) -OH, fmoc-Glu (OtBu) -OH, fmoc-Gly-OH, fmoc-His (Trt) -OH, fmoc-Ile-OH, fmoc-Leu-OH, fmoc-Lys (Boc) -OH, fmoc-Met-OH, fmoc-Phe-OH, fmoc-Pro-OH, fmoc-Ser (tBu) -OH, fmoc-Cys (Trt) -OH, fmoc-Trp (Boc) -OH, fmoc-Tyr (tBu) -OH, fmoc-Ile-OH, fmoc-Leu-OH, fmoc-Lys (Fmoc-OH), and the like, provided, for example, by AAPPTEC, anaspec, bachem, chemImpex, iris Biotech, midwest, gyros Protein Technologies or Novabiochem. In the absence of any other description, the natural L-form of amino acid is used. The N-terminal amino acid is protected at the α -amino group with Boc (e.g., boc-Tyr (tBu) -OH for peptides with Tyr at the N-terminus, or Boc-His (Trt) -OH for peptides with His at the N-terminus).
In the case of modular albumin binding moiety ligation using SPPS, suitably protected building blocks such as, but not limited to, fmoc-8-amino-3, 6-dioxaoctanoic acid (Fmoc-Ado-OH), fmoc-tranexamic acid (Fmoc-Trx-OH), boc-Lys (Fmoc) -OH, fmoc-Glu-OtBu, mono-tert-butyl octadecanedioate, mono-tert-butyl nonadecanedioate, mono-tert-butyl eicosanedioate or mono-tert-butyl tetradecanedioate are used. All the operations described below were carried out on a synthetic scale ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 mmol.
1. Synthesis of resin-bound protected peptide backbones
The method comprises the following steps: SPPS_A
SPPS was performed on a Protein Technologies SymphonyX solid phase peptide synthesizer using Fmoc-based chemistry with minor modifications using the protocol provided by the manufacturer. The mixing was performed by bubbling nitrogen from time to time. The step assembly was performed using the following steps: 1) Pre-swelling the resin in DMF; 2) Fmoc deprotection was performed by treatment with 20% (v/v) piperidine in DMF twice for 10min each; 3) Washing with DMF to remove piperidine; 4) Fmoc-amino acids (4-12 equiv) and Oxyma were added as 0.3-0.6M solutions in DMF respectively(4-12 equiv), followed by adding DIC (4-12 equiv) as a 0.6-1.2M solution in DMF, optionally adding DMF to reduce the final concentration of the various components if necessary, then mixing for 0.5-4h to effect Fmoc-amino acid coupling; 5) Washing with DMF to remove excess reagent; 6) The final wash was performed with DCM at the completion of the assembly. Some amino acids, such as but not limited to sterically hindered amino acids (e.g., aib), are coupled for an extended reaction time (e.g., 4 h) to ensure reaction completion.
The method comprises the following steps: SPPS_B
Protected peptidyl resin was synthesized on a Applied Biosystems A solid phase peptide synthesizer according to the Fmoc strategy using the general Fmoc protocol provided by the manufacturer. Mixing was performed by vortexing and bubbling nitrogen from time to time. The step assembly was completed using the following steps: 1) Fmoc-amino acids were activated by dissolving solid Fmoc acid (10 equiv) in Cl-HOBt (10 equiv) as a 1M solution in NMP, then adding DIC (10 equiv) as a 1M solution in NMP, then mixing simultaneously with steps 2-3; 2) Fmoc deprotection was performed by treatment with 20% (v/v) piperidine in NMP for 3min once followed by 15min for the second treatment; 3) Washing with NMP to remove piperidine; 4) Adding activated Fmoc-amino acid solution to the resin, and mixing for 45-90min; 5) Washing with NMP to remove excess reagent; 6) The final wash was performed with DCM at the completion of the assembly. The standard protected amino acid derivatives listed above are provided in pre-weighed cartridges (e.g., from Midwest Biotech), rather than the standard derivatives being manually weighed. Some amino acids, such as but not limited to, amino acids following a sterically hindered amino acid (e.g., aib) are "double coupled" to ensure completion of the reaction, which means draining the resin after the first coupling (e.g., 45 min), adding more reagents (Fmoc-amino acid, DIC, cl-HOBt), and allowing the mixture to react again (e.g., 45 min).
2. Attachment of substituents to protected peptide backbones bound to resins
The method comprises the following steps: SC_A
The N-. Epsilon. -lysine protecting group was removed by washing the resin with 30% (v/v) HFIP in DCM twice, 45min each treatment, followed by washing with DCM and DMF. Acylation was performed on a Protein Technologies SymphonyX solid phase peptide synthesizer using the protocol described in method SPPS_A, with stepwise addition of building blocks such as, but not limited to, boc-Lys (Fmoc) -OH, fmoc-8-amino-3, 6-dioxaoctanoic acid, fmoc-tranexamic acid, fmoc-Glu-OtBu, mono-tert-butyl octadecanedioate and mono-tert-butyl eicosanedioate.
The method comprises the following steps: SC_B
The N-. Epsilon. -lysine protecting group was removed by washing the resin with 30% (v/v) HFIP in DCM twice, 45min each treatment, followed by washing with DCM and DMF. Acylation was performed on a Applied Biosystems 431A solid phase peptide synthesizer using the protocol described in method SPPS_B, using stepwise addition of building blocks such as, but not limited to, boc-Lys (Fmoc) -OH, fmoc-8-amino-3, 6-dioxaoctanoic acid, fmoc-tranexamic acid, fmoc-Glu-OtBu, octadecanedioic acid mono-tert-butyl ester and icosanedioic acid mono-tert-butyl ester.
The method comprises the following steps: SC_C
The N-. Epsilon. -lysine protecting group was removed by washing the resin three times with 75:2.5:22.5v/v HFIP/TIS/DCM, 30min each treatment followed by washing with DCM and DMF. Separately, 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin (e.g., loaded with 1.1 mmol/g) was transferred to a sinter separating funnel and swollen for 30min in DCM, then drained and shaken with 10% DIPEA (v/v) in DCM for 10min. The resin was then drained and immediately treated with the first Fmoc-protected substituent building block (1.0 equiv) and DIPEA (2 equiv) in DCM and shaken overnight at room temperature. Methanol is then added to the mixture to block unreacted sites of the (cap) resin. The resin was washed with DCM, DMF and diethyl ether and then dried under vacuum. Subsequently, the substituents are assembled in a stepwise manner as described in method spps_a. The protected substituents were cleaved from the resin by three treatments with 20% HFIP (v/v) in DCM for 10min each, and the cleavage mixture was concentrated in vacuo and dried in vacuo to yield the protected substituents, which were used without further manipulation. The protected substituents were dissolved in anhydrous THF at a concentration of 0.1M, followed by treatment with TSTU (1.5 equiv) and DIPEA (3 equiv). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for two hours, filtered, and diluted five times the volume with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed with an equal volume of 0.1M aqueous HCl and then with an equal volume of water. The organic layer was then dried over MgSO 4 Dried, and the volatile solvents were removed in vacuo. The activated substituent (1.5 equiv) was used directly as a 0.1M solution in DMF containing DIPEA (3 equiv) and incubated with the peptide-based resin bearing free lysine epsilon-amino groups for 16 hours. The resin was then washed with DMF and DCM.
3. Cleavage and purification of resin-bound peptides
After completion of the side chain synthesis, the peptidyl resin was washed with DCM and dried, then treated with TFA/water/TIS (95:2.5:2.5 v/v/v) for about 2-3h, followed by precipitation with diethyl ether. The precipitate was washed with diethyl ether, dissolved in a suitable solvent (e.g. 2:1 water/MeCN) and allowed to stand until all the unstable adducts had resolved. Purification is carried out by reverse phase preparative HPLC (e.g. a Waters2545 binary gradient module, waters 2489 UV/visible detector, waters fraction collector III; or e.g. Waters DeltaPrep 4000) on a suitable column containing, for example, C8-or C18-silica gel. The separation of impurities and elution of the product was accomplished using a gradient of MeCN gradually increasing in water containing 0.1% TFA. The structure and purity of the relevant fractions were checked by analytical LCMS. Fractions containing the pure desired product were combined and lyophilized to give the peptide TFA salt as a white solid.
4. Salt exchange from TFA to sodium salt:
the lyophilized, purified peptide is dissolved to 3-20mg/mL in a suitable aqueous buffer such as, but not limited to, 4:1 water/MeCN, 0.2M sodium acetate, or 50mM HEPES buffer pH 7.4. If necessary, the pH of the solution is adjusted with aqueous NaOH to achieve complete dissolution. The buffer containing the peptide was subjected to salt exchange using a Sep-Pak C18 column (0.5-5 g). The column was equilibrated first with isopropanol, then with MeCN, then with water. The peptide solution was applied to the column and the flow-through was reapplied to ensure complete peptide retention. With water, then with a solvent such as, but not limited to, naHCO 3 NaOAc or Na 2 HPO 4 The column is washed with a buffer solution (e.g., pH 7.5). The column was then washed with water and the peptide eluted with 50-80% (v/v) MeCN in water. The peptide-containing eluate was freeze-dried to give the peptide sodium salt as a white solid, which was used as such.

Example 2: in vitro functional efficacy (CRE luciferase; whole cell)
The purpose of this example is to test compounds for their functional activity or potency at human and mouse GLP-1, GIP and Gcg receptors in vitro. In vitro functional efficacy is a measure of target receptor activation in whole cell assays. The efficacy of the compounds listed in example 1 was determined as follows. Human GLP-1 (7-37) (SEQ ID NO: 35) (identical to mouse GLP-1 (7-37)), human GIP (SEQ ID NO: 36) and human glucagon (SEQ ID NO: 37) (identical to mouse glucagon) were included in the appropriate assays for comparison.
Principle of
In vitro functional efficacy was determined by measuring the response of target receptors in a reporter gene assay in a separate cell line. The assay was performed in a stably transfected BHK cell line expressing one of the following G protein-coupled receptors: human GLP-1 receptor, human GIP receptor, human Gcg receptor, mouse GLP-1 receptor, mouse GIP receptor or mouse Gcg receptor; and wherein each cell line contains CAMP Response Element (CRE) DNA coupled to a promoter and a firefly luciferase (CRE luciferase) gene. When the respective receptor is activated, it leads to the production of cAMP, which in turn leads to the expression of luciferase protein. When the assay incubation is complete, a luciferase substrate (luciferin) is added, resulting in enzymatic conversion of luciferin to oxidized luciferin and the generation of bioluminescence. The luminescence is measured as a readout of the assay.
Cell culture and preparation
The cell line used in these assays was BHK cells with BHKTS13 as the parent cell line. The cell lines are derived from clones containing CRE luciferase elements and are established by further transfection with the respective receptors to obtain the relevant cell lines. The following cell lines were used:
measurement Cell lines
GLP-1 receptor assay BHK CRE luc2P hGLP-1R
GIP receptor assay BHK CRE luc2P hGIPR
Glucagon receptor assay BHK CRE luc2P hGcgR
Cells were incubated in 5% CO in cell culture medium 2 Culturing at 37deg.C. Cells were aliquoted and stored in liquid nitrogen. The cells were maintained in continuous culture and immediately prior to each assayAnd (5) inoculating on a day.
Material
The following chemicals were used in this assay: pluronic F-68 10% (Gibco 2404), 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; invitrogen 16140-071), egg white ovalbumin (Sigma A5503), phenol red free DMEM (Gibco 21063-029), DMEM (Gibco 12430-054), 1M Hepes (Gibco 15630), glutamax100x (Gibco 35050), G418 (Invitrogen 10131-027), hygromycin (Invitrogen 10687-010) and steadinite plus (Perkinelmer 6016757).
Buffer solution
GLP-1R and GcgR cell culture media consisted of DMEM medium containing 10% FBS, 500 μg/mL G418 and 300 μg/mL hygromycin. The GIPR cell culture medium consisted of DMEM medium containing 10% FBS, 400. Mu.g/mL G418 and 300. Mu.g/mL hygromycin. The assay buffer consisted of phenol red free DMEM, 10mM Hepes, 1 XGlutamax, 1% ovalbumin and 0.1% Pluronic F-68. The assay buffer is mixed with an equal volume of test compound 1:1 in the assay buffer to give the final assay concentration.
Procedure
1) Cells were plated at 5000 cells/well and incubated overnight in assay plates.
2) Cells were washed once in DPBS.
3) Stock solutions of test compound and reference compound at concentrations ranging from 100 to 300 μm were diluted 1:150 in assay buffer. The compounds were then diluted 1:10 in column 1 of a 96 deep well dilution plate, and then starting from this row, a 3.5-fold, 12-point dilution curve was generated.
4) Assay buffer (50 μl aliquots) was added to each well of the assay plate.
5) An aliquot of 50 μl of compound or blank was transferred from the dilution plate to the assay plate containing assay buffer.
6) The assay plate was incubated at 5% CO 2 Incubate in incubator at 37℃for 3h.
7) Cells were washed once with DPBS.
8) To each well of the assay plate, 100 μl aliquots of DPBS were added.
9) To each well of the assay plate, 100. Mu.l aliquots of the stearyleite plus reagent (photosensitive) were added.
10 Each assay plate was covered with aluminum foil to avoid light and shaken at 250RPM for 30min at room temperature.
11 Reading each assay plate in a microtiter plate reader.
Calculation and results
Data from the microtiter plate reader were first regressed in Excel to calculate x-axis, logarithmic scale concentrations from the stock concentrations of the individual test compounds and the dilutions of the assay. The data was then transferred to GraphPad Prism software for mapping and statistical analysis. The software performs nonlinear regression (log (agonist) versus response). EC calculated with this software and reported in pM 50 The values are shown in tables 1 and 2 below. A minimum of two replicates were measured for each sample. The reported values are the average of the repeated measurements.
Table 1: triple agonists altering the position of the substituents were functionally potent against human GLP-1R, GIPR and GcgR.
nd=not determined.
Compound 58 is a known (US 9062124 example 18, seq ID NO 124) and potent triple agonist with a hexadecyl moiety linked to the epsilon-amino group of Lys 40. Replacement of the substituent at Lys40 with substituent chemical formula 6 (i.e., compound 59) is expected to yield an equivalent compound with a longer half-life. However, the above results indicate that compound 59 has lower potency against all three receptors, especially for GIPR and GcgR. Thus, a change in substituents from fatty mono-acids to fatty di-acids does not achieve similar efficacy. The results in table 1 show that substitution of lysine epsilon-amine with a fatty diacid-based substituent is preferred when lysine is at position 16, 17 or 21 of the peptide backbone, while a significant decrease in potency at one or more receptors is observed when C18 diacid-based substituent chemical formula 6 is at any of positions 12, 13, 14, 20, 24, 29, 35 or 40. Table 2. Functional efficacy of triple agonists of the present invention (wherein the substituents are present at positions 16, 17 or 21) against human GLP-1R, GIPR and GcgR.

nd=not determined.
The results in table 2 show that the compounds of the invention exhibit potent functional activation of human GLP-1R, human GIPR and human GcgR, obtained by binding the peptide backbone to substituents at positions 16, 17 or 21.
Example 3: pharmacokinetic studies in minipigs
The purpose of this example is to determine the in vivo half-life of the triple agonists described herein after intravenous administration to minipigs, i.e. their prolongation of time in vivo, and hence of their duration of action. This was done in Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies that determine the terminal half-life of the triple agonist in question. The terminal half-life is generally the length of time it takes to halve a certain plasma concentration, measured after an initial distribution phase.
Study of
Females used in the studyPig from Ellgaard +.>Minitis (Dalmose, denmark) at about 7-14 months of age and weighing about 16-35kg. Mini-pigs were housed individually and were restricted to feeding SDS mini-pig diet once daily (Special Diets Services, essex, UK).
After 3 weeks of acclimation, two permanent central venous catheters were implanted into the vena cava caudalis of each animal. Animals were allowed to recover for 1 week after surgery and then used for repeated pharmacokinetic studies with appropriate washout periods between successive administrations.
Animals were fasted for approximately 18 hours prior to dosing and 0 to 4 hours post dosing, but were given ad libitum throughout the time period.
The sodium salt of the triple agonist of example 1 was dissolved to a concentration of 20-40nmol/mL in pH 7.4 buffer containing 0.025% (v/v) polysorbate 20, 10mM sodium phosphate, 250mM glycerol. The triple agonist is injected intravenously through one catheter (the volume typically corresponds to 1.5-2nmol/kg, e.g. 0.1 mL/kg) and blood samples are collected at predetermined time points for up to 14 days after administration (preferably through another catheter). Blood samples (e.g., 0.8 mL) were collected in 8mM EDTA buffer and then centrifuged at 1942g for 10 minutes at 4 ℃.
Sampling and analysis
Plasma was pipetted into a micro tube on dry ice and kept at-20 ℃ until the plasma concentration of the triple agonist was analyzed using ELISA or similar antibody-based assay or LCMS. Each plasma concentration-time curve was analyzed by a non-compartmental model in Phoenix WinNonLin ver.6.4 (Pharsight inc., mountain View, CA, USA) and the resulting terminal half-life (harmonic mean) was determined.
Results
Table 3: terminal half-life measured after intravenous administration in minipigs
The triple agonists described herein have a very long half-life compared to the natural hormone tested. The half-lives of hGLP-1 and hGIP, measured in humans, are reported to be about 2-4min and 5-7min, respectively (Meier et al, diabetes,2004,53 (3): 654-662). Glucagon has been reported to have a half-life of between 5 and 30 minutes, depending on the route of administration (Pontirili et al Eur J Clin Pharmacol 1993, 45:555-558).
Example 4: pharmacodynamic studies in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice
The purpose of this example was to evaluate the in vivo effect of selected triple agonists on pharmacodynamic parameters in Diet Induced Obese (DIO) mice. Animals were treated once daily by subcutaneous injection of a liquid formulation of the triple agonist to be tested to assess the effects on body weight, food intake and glucose tolerance.
Animal and diet
C57BL/6J male mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratories, approximately 8 weeks old. Mice were housed in groups and fed a high fat, high sugar diet from Research Diets (D12331). Mice were maintained on this diet for 12 weeks prior to starting the pharmacological study. Mice weighing more than 50 grams were considered to have Diet Induced Obesity (DIO) and were included in pharmacological studies. Mice were exposed to a controlled 12h:12h light-dark cycle at ambient room temperature (22 ℃) and food and water were obtained ad libitum. The study was approved by the institutional animal care and use committee of cincinnati university and was conducted according to its guidelines.
Administration and formulation
All compounds in this study were formulated in the following buffers: 50mM phosphate; 70mM sodium chloride; 0.05% Tween 80, pH 7.4. The dosing solution was formulated in glass vials and stored at 2-8 ℃. The dosing solution was warmed to room temperature prior to dosing and returned to 2-8 ℃ after dosing.
DIO mice were grouped (n=8 per group) to minimize statistical differences in mean and standard deviation of fat mass and body weight between groups. Animals were grouped to receive the following treatments: a vehicle or GLP-1/GIP/Gcg receptor triple agonist as described herein, wherein the vehicle is 50mM phosphate, 70mM sodium chloride; 0.05% (v/v) Tween-80, pH 7.4. The test compound is dissolved in vehicle to a stock concentration of 100 μm and then diluted 50 to 200 times in vehicle to achieve the desired dosing solution concentration. For each treatment day, animals are given subcutaneously once a day in the morning, with a volume of dosing solution of 2-5 μl per gram of body weight as necessary to achieve the desired dose (e.g. 0.3nmol/kg, 1.0nmol/kg or 3.0 nmol/kg).
Body weight and food intake
Body Weight (BW) and food intake were measured daily immediately prior to dosing. The percent change in body weight of each mouse was calculated separately based on the initial body weight prior to the first injection.
IPGTT (intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test)
On the day of glucose tolerance test, animals were fasted for 4h. The food was removed and the animals transferred to new cages. Animals can drink water but cannot eat food. Tail blood glucose levels were measured and mice were injected (t=0) with an intraperitoneal (i.p.) glucose load of 2g/kg (200 mg/ml glucose solution, dose volume 10 ml/kg). Tail blood glucose levels were measured 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes after intraperitoneal injection of glucose load. Animals stratified during IPGTT such that, for example, two mice from group 1 are dosed, followed by two mice from groups 2, 3, 4, followed by treatment of the next two mice from groups 1, 2, 3, etc. This allows the "time of day" to be equally allocated among all groups.
Results:
in one study DIO mice received a subcutaneous dose of one of the following for up to 60 days per day: vehicle, compound 21, compound 30 or compound 33. Based on the titration schedule included in table 4, the dose of each compound was titrated upward to maximum efficacy. Mice that reached weight normalization (defined as body weight of 22.5g or less) were automatically removed from the study. The results are shown in Table 5 and FIGS. 1-2. All triple agonist compounds tested resulted in significantly greater weight and food intake reductions than vehicle. At a time point prior to day 42 (see fig. 1), treatment with compound No. 21 resulted in similar food intake reduction but less weight loss compared to compound No. 30 and compound No. 33. This can be explained by the fact that: when studied using the protocol described in example 2, except using mouse-specific receptors, compound No. 21 has similar GLP-1R and GIPR in vitro potency, but reduced GcgR in vitro potency, compared to compound No. 30 and compound No. 33. In vitro potency against mouse GLP-1R, mouse GIPR and mouse GcgR are shown in Table 6.

Table 5: effects on food intake and body weight in DIO mice treated with vehicle or GLP-1/GIP/Gcg triple agonist for up to 60 days per day according to the dose titration schedule shown in table 4. Also included was the last day any mice received treatment in the group before being removed from the study.
Results are expressed as mean ± SEM, n=1-2 (food intake) or n=5-8 (body weight). Table 6: the selected triple agonists of the invention were directed against the functional efficacy of mouse specific GLP-1R, GIPR and GcgR.
nd=not determined.
Another mouse study with compounds 26, 43 and 44 showed that DIO mice had better food intake reduction and weight loss than vehicle after daily subcutaneous administration over 13 days. The results are shown in table 7. Compound 44 showed a dose-dependent effect on food intake reduction and weight loss and improved glucose tolerance compared to vehicle at doses of 1.0nmol/kg and 3.0 nmol/kg. This suggests that triple agonists may increase weight loss efficacy without adversely affecting glucose tolerance.
