Abstract

The present invention refers to a physically stable, pharmaceutically acceptable liquid composition comprising urate-oxidases, and from 0.1 mg/ml to 10 mg/ml of Poloxamer 188, in a buffered aqueous medium. This composition can be obtained by dissolving a lyophilized compound in an aqueous solvent.

Description

REF: 22475 1 STABLE LIQUID COMPOSITION CONTAINING URATO-OXIDASE, AND LYOPHILIZED COMPOSITION FOR PREPARATION FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a liquid pharmaceutically acceptable formulation, which contains urate oxidase, which is in the form of a solution stable at 25 ° C and clear after agitation. This solution can also be obtained by dissolving a lyophilisate containing the urate oxidase in a solvent. 5 Urate-oxidase (urate-oxygen-oxidoreductase EC 1.7.3.3. Uox), a protein enzyme obtained from Aspergillus flavus that oxidizes uric acid to alantoin, is used for the prevention or treatment of hyperuricaemia at the same time as chemotherapies, Q since allantoin is ten times more soluble that uric acid, and easily eliminated by the kidneys (Laboureur P. et al, Bull. Soc. Chim. Biol., 1968, 50, 811-825; Kissel P. et al., The Lancet, 1975, J25, 229). -e Urate-oxidase is a tetrameric enzyme composed of four identical units with a molecular weight of 34,152. Each monomeric unit, formed of a single polypeptide chain of 301 amino acids, is acetylated at the N-terminus, and has no disulfide bridges. The optimum pH of stability of the enzymatic activity of the urate oxidase in solution is pH = 8 (Bayol, A. and collaborators, accepted for publication Biophys, Chem., 1995 (54), 229-35). The cDNA encoding this protein has been cloned and expressed in E. coli (Legoux, R., et al J. Biol. Chem., 1992, 267, (12), 8565-8570); in A. flavus (Chevalet, L. et al, Curr. Genet, 1992, 21, 447-453); and in S. cerevisiae (Leplatois, P. et al., Gene., 1992, 122, 139-145). The best yields obtained from S. cerevisiae have favored the selection of this yeast for the production of recombinant urate oxidase (re-Uox). The recombinant enzyme accumulated in the intracellular space under a soluble and active form is extracted and then purified until a pharmaceutical quality is obtained. In order to obtain a formulation administrable to man, the urate oxidase must be prepared in the form of a pharmaceutical composition. Such compositions must retain the enzymatic activity - of the urate oxidase over time. A lyophilized form is generally used to preserve the biochemical integrity and biological activity of the enzymes under very varied preservation conditions. It is well known that lyophilized preparations retain these properties better than the corresponding liquid preparations. The lyophilized preparations must be diluted in a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, before administration to man by the parenteral route. A liquid composition of the enzyme will however be preferable since this will be more rapidly administrable, with the condition nonetheless of being physically and chemically stable. The known pharmaceutical formulation of urate oxidase (Uricozyme) is a lyophilized injectable preparation that needs a reconstitution solvent. The composition of the freeze-dried form of Uricozyme is as follows: Urato-oxidase 1000 units Aza-8-dioxo-2,6-purine monohydrate Sodium carbonate neutral anhydrous Tetracemate disodium dihydrate 0.37 mg Lactose The composition of the reconstitution solvent is as follows: Potassium monoacid phosphate Potassium dihydrogen phosphate Glucose Water for injections c. s. s. 1 mi (VIDAL Paris Dictionary 61st edition P. 1552, 1985).
The solution of urate oxidase obtained after the solution of the lyophilisate in the reconstitution solvent will increase its turbidity with the storage time at 25 ° C, until the appearance of a filamentous protein precipitate. The formation of this protein precipitate in solution is accelerated with time and the force of agitation of the solution. The solution obtained is physically unstable. The solubilizing properties of non-ionic surfactant molecules are well known to the person skilled in the art., but the interactions between proteins and non-ionic surfactants are more specific and described in the literature. European Patent EP 211 601 describes the use of certain block copolymers, which are non-ionic surfactant molecules, in the stabilization of injectable formulations of growth hormone. The growth hormone is stabilized in a gelled matrix formed by a sequenced copolymer containing polyoxyethylenated and polyoxypropylenated units of average molecular weight between 1, 100 and 40,000. The U.S. No. 4,783,441 describes a method of preventing the denaturation of proteins such as insulin in aqueous solution, by adding an amount that can reach up to 500 ppm of surfactant molecules composed of slightly hydrophilic and slightly hydrophobic alternating groups, in pH solutions. comprised between 6.8 and 8. US Pat. No. 5,096,885 describes the composition of a lyophilized solution containing human growth hormone, glycine, mannitol, a non-ionic surfactant and a buffer.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The objective of the present invention is a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid composition of a urate oxidase solution containing between 0.1 mg / ml and 10 mg / ml of a sequenced copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, Poloxamer 188, in watery medium cushioned. This composition is clear and stable physically and chemically after vigorous agitation or after storage, for at least 48 hours and up to one year at 25 ° C. The advantages offered by this form are a greater simplicity of use in clinic, together with the possibility of being administered directly and of being stored under its directly administrable form, during longer periods of time. Another advantage lies in the absence of particular instructions for maintenance precautions, usually necessary to avoid the precipitation of protein filaments in the solution to be injected, since the composition according to the invention has the property of preventing the precipitation of protein filaments in the sine of the solution. The aqueous liquid composition of the invention is clear, stable, sterile and pharmaceutically acceptable, and can be injected into man or an animal by the subcutaneous, intravenous or intramuscular route. In the present invention, the term "urate oxidase" is understood to mean the protein obtained by fermentation of a natural or mutated strain by genetic engineering. The enzyme is therefore produced by the extraction of the natural source, or from cell cultures. The urate oxidase used in the formulations of the present invention can be obtained, for example, according to US 3,810,820, DD 284 689, DD 296 804, DD 300 781, DE 2 164 018, DE 1 517 742, FR 2 664 286, GB 2 221 910, JP 76-007749, JP-75-030137, JP-84-023987, JP73 018473, JP-47 029575, SU 565 935, US 4,062,731, EP 545 688 or according to EP 435 776. The term "pharmaceutically effective amount" refers to any amount of urate oxidase that produces a therapeutic effect. The solutions corresponding to the invention contain a pharmaceutically effective amount of urate oxidase. Preferably these solutions contain between 0.1 mg / ml and 50 mg / ml of urate oxidase according to the desired dose. The concentration range of the urate oxidase is not critical to the invention and may vary according to the preparations. The solutions according to the invention contain a nonionic surfactant of the type copolymer sequence of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene, called Poloxamer 188 and corresponding to the formula H0 (CH2CH20) 75 (CH (CH3) CH20) (CH2CH20) 75 H. product is marketed by the company ICI under the name Synperonic F 68 and by the company B.A.S.F. under the name of Pluronic F 68. The necessary quantities of Poloxamer 188 to obtain physically stable solutions of urate oxidase are between 0.1 mg / ml and 10 mg / ml, preferably between 0.5 mg / ml and 5 mg / ml. The pH of the solution is preferably between 7.5 and 8.5. When the pH is equal to 8, the urate oxidase is particularly stable chemically in solution. Generally, it is preferred to use a sodium phosphate buffer to buffer the medium. The concentration of the buffer is advantageously from 5 mM to 100 mM. The buffer used is preferably a sodium phosphate buffer of pH = 8, at a concentration between 5 mM and 100 mM. The liquid composition according to the invention is preferably isotonic and advantageously comprises the excipients necessary for obtaining an isotonic solution, such as mannitol or alanine. The solution may contain in particular mannitol, preferably at a concentration between 1 mg / ml and 50 mg / ml.
- - The solution may contain, in particular, alanine, preferably at a concentration between 1 mg / ml and 50 mg / ml. The solution preferably contains mannitol and alanine in any proportion that conserves the isoto-nicity of the solution, preferably from 1 to 50 mg / ml of mannitol and from 1 to 50 mg / ml of alanine. Advantageously, the solution contains approximately 10.6 mg / ml of mannitol and approximately 15.9 mg / ml of alanine. The liquid composition according to the invention advantageously comprises the preservatives necessary for the bacteriological preservation of the solution, mainly such as benzyl alcohol, phenol, meta-cresol, methyl-paraben, propyl-paraben, benzalkonium chloride or benzethonium chloride. The solution can be obtained directly by dissolving the constituents in water; or after reconstitution of a lyophilisate containing urate oxidase, by means of an aqueous solvent containing Poloxamer 188; or after reconstitution of a lyophilisate containing urate oxidase and Poloxamer 188, by means of an aqueous solvent. In this regard, the invention also aims at a lyophilized composition for dissolving - - in an aqueous solvent, and containing urate oxidase and Poloxamer 188, the weight ratio of Poloxamer 188 to urate oxidase being 0.01 to 50. The lyophilized composition may advantageously comprise any other buffer, as indicated above for the solution. It can also advantageously comprise the excipients which ensure the isotonicity of. the aqueous solution obtained by dissolving the lyophilisate in an aqueous solvent, such as, for example, alanine or mannitol, in variable amounts depending on the volume of reconstitution solvent to be used. The following examples illustrate the invention, without limiting it.

Different analytical methods have been used to measure different parameters, such as turbidity or the dosage of enzymatic activity 1. Turbidity measurement: The turbidity of the urate oxidase solutions is determined by a Hach Ratio turbidimeter. The turbidity results are expressed in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) defined by: Standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater from the American Association for Public Health. The turbidity measurement indicates the degree of aggregation of the urate oxidase in solution. 2. Dosage of the enzymatic activity of urate oxidase: The enzymatic activity of urate oxidase is determined by spectrophotometry in a thermostatic cell at 30 ° C, following the disappearance of uric acid at 292 nm (Legoux, R. et al., J. Biol. Chem., 1992, 267 (12 8565-8570).
The stability tests of the reconstituted solute after Example 2 were carried out at 25 ° C. Table I below shows the stability of the reconstituted solutes by dissolving with water and with solvents respectively containing 1 mg of Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) or 1 mg of Poloxamer 188 according to the invention, with a sufficient amount of water to produce a volume of solute of 1 ml.
