Description

一种高比活绝经期促性腺素及其制备方法和用途 技术领域
本发明涉及蛋白质纯化和生物医药领域。 具体而言, 本发明涉及高比活 绝经期促性腺素以及相应的纯化方法。 背景技术
绝经期促性腺素 (Human Menopausal Gonadotrop ins,简称 HMG ) 含有卵 泡剌激素(Fol l i c le- s t imulat ing hormone , 简称 FSH)和黄体生成激素 (leute ini z ing hormone , 简称 LH)两种活性成分, 它们是由垂体产生的糖蛋 白激素, 都是由 α链和 β链两个亚基组成。 FSH的 a亚基与 LH、 绒毛膜促性 腺素(chori oni c gonadotropi n , 简称 CG)的 α亚基完全相同, 具有 92个氨 基酸, 分子量约为 14500D , 第 52和 78位置上的天冬酰胺是发生 糖基化 的氨基酸。 FSH的 β亚基由 1 1 1个氨基酸组成, 分子量约为 18000D , 其中第 7和 24位置上的天冬酰胺是发生 -糖基化的氨基酸。 而 LH的 β亚基由 121 个氨基酸组成, 分子量约为 14800D ; CG 的 β亚基则有 145 个氨基酸, 分子 量 22000 - 39000D。
临床上 HMG主要用于治疗不育症, 它可以从垂体或绝经期妇女的尿液中 提取出来, 也可通过 DNA重组技术而制备。
含有 FSH的第一代产品是尿促性素(HMG), 如 Serono公司的 Pergonal , 它是 FSH与 LH 比例约为 1 的混合物。 但是它的比活和纯度都很低, 比活一 般在 40— 300IU/mg蛋白, 纯度只有 2— 3%的有效成分, 其余约 97%都是杂蛋 白, 由于杂蛋白含量大, 对人体有潜在的副作用, 给药方式也只能局限于肌 肉注射。 高纯度的尿促性素(PHMG)是本领域所特别需要的, 它应当纯度高、 杂质少, 不含有大量的杂蛋白, 因此不会造成人体的过敏反应, 并且由于这 些优点它可以使用皮下注射, 提高患者的顺应性。
但是, pHMG的纯化很有难度, 由于它同时含有 FSH和 LH两种成分, 而 且需要两者按一定的比例构成, 而 FSH和 LH 的结构性质又不相同, 因此在 后期的纯化过程中很容易使两者分离从而导致达不到希望的比例, 这在 pHMG 的纯化中尤其突出, 目前还没有关于直接获得高比活 HMG的方法的报道。
因此本领域迫切需要开发出一种制备纯度高、 杂质少的高比活 HMG的方 法, 便于使用于皮下注射, 方便患者的使用、 减轻痛苦。 发明内容
