Definitions
- the present invention relates to X-ray contrast agent-protein conjugates, and more particularly to X-ray contrast agent-albumin conjugates, drugs 5 comprising X-ray contrast agent-protein conjugates, methods of making such conjugates and their use.
- X-ray contrast agents are substances which are introduced into the body in imaging processes for enhancing contrast differences.
- Contrast is understood in imaging diagnostics to be a brightness difference within the generated image.
- contrast agents are often used in medicine to intensify less pronounced contrast differences between individual tissue types.
- contrast agents serve as markers of physiological processes such as blood flow, glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. They are either introduced directly into cavities or arrive at the destination by means of transport mechanisms (for example, organs).
- contrast agents The function of the contrast agents is based on the fact that they increase the density of the irradiated organ by radiation absorption (positive contrast agents, for example barium and iodine compounds) or lower (negative contrast agents, for example CO 2 -GaS, air, noble gases).
- positive contrast agents for example barium and iodine compounds
- negative contrast agents for example CO 2 -GaS, air, noble gases
- X-ray opaque polymer compounds comprising at least one biodegradable and at least one iodinated X-ray opaque end group, wherein the biodegradable region and the iodinated X-ray impermeable end group are linked by at least one biodegradable bond.

- these side effects vary depending on the indication, ranging from sensation of heat and pain at the injection site such as redness, wheal, but also nausea, vomiting, heat, coughing, including severe reactions such as bronchospasm, asthma attack, severe cardiovascular - reactions such as circulatory collapse or tonic-chronic convulsions with possible fatal consequences.
- An object of the present invention was therefore to provide X-ray contrast agents in a form with which the difficulties encountered in the prior art can be overcome and with the particular targeted the pathologically altered tissue sites with a much lower dose of X-ray contrast medium with long half-life radiographically can be made visible and thus fewer side effects can be achieved in the organism.
- an X-ray contrast agent-protein conjugate comprising a carboxyl group-containing X-ray contrast agent and a protein.
- the main advantage of using the protein conjugate over the low-molecular contrast agent is that the macromolecular contrast agent is now released only in the region of the pathologically altered tissue sites, especially in the area of proliferating tumor tissue by enzymatic cleavage of the protein and accumulates there. In all other tissue types the concentration for a safe contrast is too low. Since, on the one hand, the administered dose is substantially lower and in vivo healthy cells do not take up or break down albumin or its native conjugates, the usual side effects are greatly diminished or no longer appear at all.
- a further advantage of the protein conjugate as a contrast agent lies in the fact that enrichment in solid tumors widens the previously very narrow time window of contrasting without any side effects occurring. Furthermore, by the targeted coupling of the contrast agent to protein, in particular albumin, according to the invention, the osmolality of the contrast agent can be adjusted to a tolerable level for the organism.
- the X-ray contrast agent is coupled directly covalently to the protein.

- Direct covalent coupling of the X-ray contrast agent to the support means that the X-ray contrast agent is bound to the transport protein by a linker or spacer-free bond.
- the X-ray contrast agent is covalently bound to the protein via an acid amide bond formed from a carboxyl group of the X-ray contrast agent and an amino group, preferably a lysine group of the protein.

- the conjugate it is not necessary for the conjugate to be injected directly into or in the immediate vicinity of the tumor.
- a further advantage of the presence of the natural character of the albumin is that the staining of the tumor cells takes place on the one hand on the natural distribution pattern of albumin in the extravascular space and on the other hand on the high albumin uptake of the tumor cells.
- the coupling is preferably carried out without changing the physical properties of the contrast agent.
- a protein is preferably used which is native to the patient for whom the conjugate is intended. That is, the protein is in native form, and further, for example, when administered to humans, human proteins, mouse administration corresponding to mouse proteins, etc. are used.
- a native protein is a protein derived from the same species as the species to which the protein is administered.
- the coupling of the X-ray contrast agent to the carrier protein, preferably albumin preferably takes place without limiting its native character.

- the X-ray contrast agent-protein conjugate is used for the preparation of a medicament for the presentation of tumors. It is particularly preferably used for the positive presentation of solid tumors.
- the drug is a contrast agent in X-ray diagnostics.
- Another essential aspect of the invention relates to the use of the conjugate as described herein and in particular in one of claims 7 to 23 for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of tumors.
- the inventors have found for the first time that X-ray contrast agents can be used not only as a diagnostic agent but also as a therapeutic agent, in particular as a radiation sensitizer which can be enriched in the tumor.
- the mode of operation of the contrast agents is based on the fact that they increase the density of the irradiated organ through radiation absorption. It has long been known that X-ray contrast agents, especially iodine-containing
- X-ray contrast agents can cause side effects that may occur during or after the examination, ie after application of the X-ray contrast agent and are attributable to different causes.
- the first mentioned side effects include feeling of heat and pain at the injection site, vasodilatation associated with hypotension and dizziness, diuresis, etc. This is due to the nonphysiologically high osmolarity values of the applied contrast medium solutions, which may be 1400 mOsm (milliosmol) and more, while the physiological value the osmolarity is only about 284 mOsm.
- Such high osmolarities especially in the immediate vicinity of the application site, but not only there, cause massive disturbances in the water-electrolyte balance.
- albumin as a carrier substance lies in the sum of the abovementioned properties of the albumin, in particular the high specificity and selectivity for tumor cells and the long half-life of the albumin.
- X-ray contrast agents were previously used only for the presentation of blood vessels, but not for the positive representation of tumors.
- An object of the present invention is now the use of the X-ray contrast medium-albumin conjugates according to the invention for the positive presentation of tumors.
- contrast agent For this purpose, usually much higher amounts of contrast agent would be necessary, which can advantageously be dispensed with according to the invention by the binding of the contrast medium to albumin, which has a very high half-life.
- a positive representation of tumors with the same or even a smaller amount of administered contrast agent is possible.
- This substantial reduction in the amount of contrast agent required is a significant factor in reducing the risk of unwanted side effects.
- iodine-containing contrast media Long-term adverse reactions, in particular iodine-containing contrast media, which occur a few days after the examination, include in patients with a tendency to or existing hyperthyroidism metabolic disorders. The most common are increased heart palpitations, high blood pressure, increased restlessness with insomnia as well as sweating and diarrhea. The cause of these unwanted, late side effects is iodide, which is released during the exam. Again, iodide is formed in the reaction of elemental iodine released from the contrast medium into the circulation upon absorption of the high-energy X-rays, with further reactants such as tyrosine residues of the albumin. This iodide, which is formed simultaneously with the reaction of elemental iodine with tyrosine residues, ultimately constitutes the trigger of hyperthyroidism.
- the present inventors have also discovered for the first time a pharmacological effect of X-ray contrast agents, in particular of iodine-containing X-ray contrast agents, namely the destruction of tumor cells by means of these X-ray contrast agents.
- X-ray contrast agents in particular of iodine-containing X-ray contrast agents
- a targeted and specific destruction of tumor cells can only by the Coupling of the X-ray contrast agent to protein, in particular albumin can be achieved.
- Another aspect of the present invention is the use of an X-ray contrast agent-protein conjugate of the invention
- Preparation of a medicament for the treatment of tumors preferably takes place in that
- Irradiation of the X-ray contrast agent toxic entities are released, which are preferably released during the absorption of high-energy X-rays from the contrast agent intracellularly as well as in the circulation.

- Bromine, chlorine and / or fluorine may have, especially iodine radicals are particularly preferred. Besides, it can be toxic
- entities may be benzoic acid radicals.
- an energy source with energy of> 10 electron vol (eV), more preferably> 100 eV and most preferably> 1 kilo-electron volts (keV) is preferably used according to the invention.
- the irradiation is carried out with an energy source that emits energy in the range of 20 to 25 keV.
- the radiation dose used can be in the range of the radiation dose used for diagnosis or below in order to minimize the radiation exposure of the body. Alternatively, a higher dose of radiation than is necessary for diagnostics can be used.
- the mechanism of action of the X-ray contrast agent-protein conjugate is in particular as follows: After administration of the conjugate, this becomes tumor tissue due to the natural distribution pattern of the albumin in the extravascular space and due to the high albumin uptake of the tumor cells with high specificity and selectivity transported, where albumin is then converted by the tumor cells.
- albumin is then converted by the tumor cells.
- intracellular toxic entities preferably radicals, particularly preferably halogen radicals, in particular iodine radicals, as well as e.g. Benzoic acid, which is difficult to dissolve at physiological pH.
- iodine radicals preferably halogen radicals, in particular iodine radicals, as well as e.g. Benzoic acid.
- Benzoic acid e.g. Benzoic acid
- intracellular toxic entities can have fatal consequences when using a conventional non-specific X-ray contrast agent.
- the binding energy between the iodine and the benzene ring is, for example, about 5 to 6 eV, while the energy of the radiation released by the irradiation source is much higher, about 1000 times, namely 20 to 25 keV.
- the energy of the radiation irradiating the conjugate of the present invention is 10 times, preferably 100 times and most preferably 1000 times higher than the binding energy of the radical-cleavable bond in the X-ray contrast medium.
- the energy of the radiation irradiating the conjugate of the present invention is 10 times, preferably 100 times and most preferably 1000 times higher than the binding energy of the radical-cleavable bond in the X-ray contrast medium.
- these toxic entities accumulate specifically in the tumor cells, which purposefully destroys the contrast agent-containing tumor cell.
- iodine-containing X-ray contrast agents are not resistant to high-energy radiation.
- the inconstancy of the X-ray contrast agent 5 against UV radiation which is even about 100 times lower than X-ray radiation detected.
- the protein X-ray contrast agent conjugate can be effectively used for the targeted destruction of o tumor cells, without an increase in the amount of conjugate and the radiation dose is required.
- the radiation dose can also be increased.
- Another aspect of the present invention relates to the use of the conjugate of the invention for the manufacture of a medicament for the protection of non-tumor-infested tissue from radicals.
- the albumin present in the conjugate according to the invention serves non-tumor (s), in particular healthy, tissues or body fluids in which the administered conjugate according to the invention is nonspecific, such as For example, tissue of the transport path to the tumor cells, surrounding tissue of the tumor tissue and blood circulation, to protect against radical stress during irradiation.
- the albumin which is present in healthy tissue or in the bloodstream, acts via its tyrosine residues as radical scavenger for the iodine radicals of the X-ray contrast medium which are formed during the irradiation.
- albumin has a total of two effects, namely on the one hand a prolonged half-life of the albumin in the body as well as a targeted uptake into tumor cells and on the other hand a protection against the resulting in the radiation radicals in non-tumorous tissue, which is still affected by the irradiation ,
- another embodiment of the invention is a composition
- a composition comprising an X-ray contrast agent-protein conjugate and at least one radical scavenger which further supports the antiradical activity of the protein, in particular the albumin.
- the radical scavenger is present in unbound, non-conjugated form in the composition.
- Radical scavengers are understood as meaning organic or inorganic substances whose chemical reaction with reactive radicals leads to more stable compounds. The addition of radical scavengers to a radical chain reaction thus interrupts the reaction chain.
- radical scavengers which are pharmaceutically and physiologically acceptable. These include L-cysteine, cysteamine, melamine, glutathione, uric acid as well as lipoic acid and dihydrolipoic acid, which serve as scavengers in the body tissue to protect against damaging influences. Radical scavengers which are used for cancer prophylaxis are particularly preferred.
- vitamin A examples include vitamin A, retinoids and ß-carotene (provitamin A) as well as the antioxidant vitamins C and E.
- radical scavengers they protect DNA and cell membranes from oxidative damage by radicals, thereby protecting against mutations and maintaining cell integrity. Furthermore belong to it.
- vitamin E and albumin are particularly preferred, since it is an efficient iodine radical scavenger due to its tyrosine residues.
- Another aspect of the present invention is a diagnostic or therapeutic agent comprising as active ingredient an X-ray contrast agent-protein conjugate in combination with at least one radical scavenger.
- both the conjugate according to the invention and the composition comprising this conjugate and at least one free-radical scavenger are used for the preparation of a medicament for protecting against non-tumor-attacked tissue from radicals.
- Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to the use of the conjugate according to the invention for therapy control after treatment with the conjugate, in particular three to four weeks after the treatment. Due to the long biological half-life of the albumin as well as the iodine released upon irradiation of the X-ray contrast agent, it is still after a period of three to four weeks after administration of the conjugate a direct therapy control possible, preferably without the addition of further X-ray contrast agent-albumin conjugate, which additionally represents a burden on the body. Therefore, therapy with little side effects is possible at a later point in time, so that even if the procedure is repeated several times, the radiation dose is still within the range of diagnostic measures.
- the X-ray contrast agent-protein conjugate according to the invention in particular the 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid-albumin conjugate, does not cause any side effects immediately after administration or long-term side effects a few days after the examination.
- Another object of the present invention is a method for producing an X-ray contrast agent-protein conjugate, comprising reacting a carboxyl group-containing X-ray contrast agent, preferably a low molecular weight carboxyl-containing X-ray contrast agent with a protein, preferably a high molecular weight carrier protein.
- a direct covalent coupling of the X-ray contrast agent to the protein for example albumin, without restricting its native and natural character. Coupling has proven to be particularly advantageous in which an activated acid is first formed from the low-molecular X-ray contrast medium by means of a carbodiimide and subsequently the activated acid of the X-ray contrast medium is reacted with a protein.
- Efficient coupling of the active ingredient to the carrier molecule is important for the preparation of the conjugates used according to the invention.
- the coupling must not lead to an undesired change in the carrier protein and / or the active ingredient.
- Conventional activation of the carboxyl group-containing organic compounds with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) requires at room temperature or at +4 0 C more than 12 hours (P. Hammer, and W. Heeschen, Dairy Science, 1995, 50 (9), pp 513-514, DP 41 22 210 A1; EP 0 879 604 A1; EP 0 820 308).
- the carbodiimide is N- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) -N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride.
- the activation is preferably carried out at a temperature of 10 to 100 0 C, more preferably from 20 to 90 0 C, and more preferably from 50 to 75 0 C for enie reaction time of 1 to 10 hours, more preferably from 20 to 50 minutes.
- the reaction of the activated active substance with the carrier protein is preferably carried out at a temperature between 10 and 50 ° C., in particular between 20 and 40 ° C.
- the activation of the carboxyl group-containing compound, in particular of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid with EDC in an organic solvent, preferably in dimethyl sulfoxide (DSMO) is performed.
- organic solvents include dimethylacetamide or Dioxane.
- the activation is preferably carried out in the absence of water, in particular in the presence of ⁇ 5% by weight of water, more preferably ⁇ 1% by weight of water and most preferably completely anhydrous.
- the preparation process is carried out using the activating reagents EDC and N-hydroxysuccinimide.
- activating reagents EDC and N-hydroxysuccinimide.
- An advantage of these activating reagents is that they have a high water solubility.
- unused coupling reagents can be removed in a simple manner from the product obtained, for example by washing with water during the reaction.
- DCC dicyclohexylcarbodiimide
- a non-resolvable residue of coupling reagent remains in the conjugate.
- a further preferred aspect of the invention therefore relates to a preparation method of a conjugate according to the invention comprising reacting an X-ray contrast medium with albumin, wherein an X-ray contrast medium and albumin in the presence of a carbodiimide, preferably in the presence of N- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) -N'-ethyl- carbodiimide without N-hydroxysuccinimide or N-hydroxysuccinamide or without any other activating reagent.
- the optimized process which operates without N-hydroxysuccinimide or N-hydroxysuccinamide or without other additional activating reagents, has a positive effect on the simplification of the preparation in the cleaning procedure.
- EDC N-hydroxysuccinimide
- HSA N-hydroxysuccinamide
- the activation time of the X-ray contrast agent is only significantly less than that required when using HSI or HSA for 30 minutes.
- a further advantage of the optimized method is that after addition of the activated active ingredient to the protein presented, in particular albumin, without N-hydroxysuccinimide, a direct control of the coupling efficiency can take place.
- N-hydroxysuccinimide When N-hydroxysuccinimide is used, this also has a high UV absorption on HPLC when the UV measuring cell is set to 280 nm and disturbs or impedes a direct retention by a retention time of 11.5 minutes at which other low molecular weight compounds appear Determination of the coupling yield. This means that in many cases a yield determination is only possible at the end of the purification of the conjugate. Due to the optimized process without the use of N-hydroxysuccinimide or N-hydroxysuccinamide this factor can now be excluded. This is also a great advantage for product safety. Another advantage of the optimized process is that the coupling yield is surprisingly on average 98-99%. Thus, the overall cost of each conjugate is significantly reduced by this simplification of the production.
- an acid chloride of the X-ray contrast agent is prepared from the low-molecular X-ray contrast agent by means of thionyl or oxalyl chloride, which is then reacted directly with the protein.
- the reaction of the X-ray contrast agent, preferably 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid, with thionyl or oxalyl chloride is preferably carried out at a temperature of 10 to 100 0 C, more preferably from 20 to 90 0 C and even more preferably from 50 to 75 0 C for a reaction time of 1 minute to 10 hours, more preferably 2 minutes to 50 minutes, most preferably 5 to 15 minutes.
- the molar ratio of X-ray contrast medium to protein is 2: 1 to 0.1: 1 and that the protein is albumin.
- Figure 1 shows an HPLC chromatogram of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid alone.
- FIG. 2 shows the HPLC chromatogram of the 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid HSA conjugate prepared according to Example 1 (final product after purification).
- FIG. 3 shows the HPLC chromatogram of the 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid-HSA conjugate prepared according to Example 2 directly after preparation and before purification.
- Figure 4 shows the HPLC chromatogram of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid alone.
- FIG. 5 shows the HPLC chromatogram of the 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid HSA conjugate prepared according to Example 3.
- 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (MW 499.8) are mixed with 2 ml of thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride and introduced into a preheated to 65 0 C water bath. After about 10 minutes, a slightly yellowish, clear solution of the desired acid chloride is present. The excess thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride is removed completely in vacuo. The pale-colored solid residue is dissolved in 4 mL of 1,4-dioxane and an 880 ⁇ L aliquot (corresponding to 22 mg 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid is added directly to a 5%, 0.17 M bicarbonate solution of albumin ,
- Quality control can be done immediately after production.
- TJB 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid
- another commercially available X-ray contrast agent diatrizoic acid, lotalaminic acid, etc.
- X-ray contrast agent diatrizoic acid, lotalaminic acid, etc.
- Each 20 ml are distributed on two Petri dishes (diameter 11, 5 cm).
- Bowl 1 is placed in full sunlight for 1 hour.
- Shell 2 is irradiated for 1 hour with a UV hand lamp (254 nm, 14 ⁇ W / cm 2 ) at a distance of 11 cm.
- shell 1 While the solution of shell 1 is still colorless after exposure to daylight, shell 2 exhibits the typical intense blue coloration of the iodine-starch reaction. This is all the more remarkable because the energy of the UV radiation (as well as the intensity of the radiation source used) is about 100 times lower than the X-ray radiation of a computer tomograph.
