Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular, the present invention relates to a method for preparing polyethylene glycol-modified urate oxidase, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a method for preparing polyethylene glycol-modified urate oxidase, reducing urate oxidase Methods of immunogenicity, polyethylene glycol-modified urate oxidase, pharmaceutical combinations, and pharmaceutical uses of polyethylene glycol-modified urate oxidase.
- Gout is a disease caused by disorder of purine metabolism, and its clinical feature is hyperuricemia, and tophi is formed due to the deposition of urate in subcutaneous, joint and kidney.
- the purine in the human body undergoes a series of changes, and the final product is uric acid.
- the blood uric acid concentration exceeds 70mg/L, hyperuricemia can be caused.
- 5% to 12% of patients with hyperuricemia can develop gout.
- In blood or synovial fluid when the concentration of sodium urate reaches a saturated state, microcrystals of sodium urate can form, leading to gouty arthritis.
- kidney damage is considered to be the second most common clinical manifestation of gout.
- chronic hyperuricemia leads to the deposition of uric acid in the medulla, renal tubules and renal interstitium, which stimulates the local area and causes an inflammatory response, which is called chronic uric acid nephropathy; patients with severe hyperuricemia (such as a certain Some malignant tumors, especially patients with leukemia and lymphoma), in a short period of time, a large amount of uric acid may be deposited in the renal collecting duct, renal pelvis, renal calyx and ureter, resulting in lumen obstruction, urinary closure and acute renal failure (also known as uric acid). kidney disease).
- the conventional treatment methods currently used in clinical include: analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, such as colchicine, buprofen, naproxen, etc., which are mainly used to control the acute attack of gouty arthritis Symptoms, relief of local pain, swelling, and inflammation in joints; uricosuric agents that promote uric acid excretion (ineffective if renal function is reduced), such as probenicid, sulfinpyrazone, benzbromarone etc.; drugs that inhibit uric acid synthesis, such as allopurinol.
- analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs such as colchicine, buprofen, naproxen, etc.
- uricosuric agents that promote uric acid excretion (ineffective if renal function is reduced), such as probenicid, sulfinpyrazone, benzbromarone etc.
- drugs that inhibit uric acid synthesis such as allopurinol.
- allopurinol is the main treatment drug, it can inhibit xanthine oxidase, so that hypoxanthine and xanthine cannot be converted into uric acid , itself is gradually oxidized in the human body to generate water-soluble isoxanthine (oxipurinol) which is excreted in urine.
- oxipurinol water-soluble isoxanthine
- Human hyperuricemia is related to the inactivation of uricase gene mutation during human evolution, and the mutation introduces a premature stop codon in the coding sequence of the human uricase gene (Wu X, Lee C C, Muzny D M, Caskey C T. Proc Natl Acad SciUSA. 1989.86: 9412-9416.), humans are therefore unable to synthesize active uricase by themselves, so that human purine catabolism terminates in uric acid (Wu X, Muzny DM, Lee C C, Caskey C T.J Mol Evol. 1992.34 : 78-84.).
- uricase in liver peroxisomes of non-human primates and other mammals converts less soluble urate ( ⁇ 11 mg/100 ml water) to more soluble allantoin ( ⁇ 147 mg/100 ml water) 100ml of water) and is excreted more efficiently by the kidneys (Wortmann RL, Kelley W N. Kelley's textbook of rheumatology (6th). 2001: 1339-1376).
- uricase (Uricozyme) prepared by Aspergillus flavus has been used for more than 10 years in the treatment of severe hyperuricemia related to tumor chemotherapy (Zittoun R, Dauchy F, Molaud C, Barthelemy M, Bouchard P. Ann Med Interne.
- the recombinant Aspergillus flavus uricase drug ELITEK developed by the French Sanofi company and produced by fermentation of brewer's yeast has passed FDA certification in 2002 and is used for the short-term treatment of severe hyperuricemia caused by tumor chemotherapy (Pui CH, Relling MV, Lascombes F, Harrison P L, Struxiano A et al. Leukemia. 1997. 11: 1813-1816.), at the same time, it was demonstrated that infusion of ELITEK also reduces tophi volume (Potaux L, Aparicio M, Maurel C, Ruedas M E, Martin C L. Nouv Presse Med. 1975.4:1109-1112.). In September 2010, the FDA approved the PEG-modified recombinant porcine-derived uricase (Pegloticase) produced by Sagent Company in the United States for the treatment of refractory gout. 50% of patients are ineffective.
- Uricase (EC 1.7.3.3) is widely found in microorganisms (Bacillus reticulum, Candida monocytogenes, Aspergillus flavus), plants (soybeans, chickpeas), animals (pigs, cattle, dogs, baboons) (Suzuki K , Sakasegawa S, Misaki H, Sugiyama M.J Biosci Bioeng. 2004.98: 153-158), it can catalyze the oxidation of allantoin by uric acid and release carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen (Retailleau P, Colloc'h, Denis V, Francoise B. Acta Cryst D. 2004. 60: 453-462.).
- Active uricase is a tetrameric protein composed of identical subunits, each with a molecular weight of about 34kD and consisting of 301-304 amino acids.
- the pH value of the highest enzymatic activity of uricase in each solution was 8.0 (Bayol A et al. Biophys Chem. 1995. 54: 229-235.).
- the highest activity is derived from Aspergillus flavus, reaching 27IU/mg; the second is from Bacillus fastidious, its activity remains at 13IU/mg (HuangSH, Wu T K. Eur J Biochem. 2004. 271: 517-523.).
- the activity of uricase derived from legumes is only 2-6IU/mg; the uricase derived from mammals, after recombinant expression, the uricase activity of pigs can reach 5IU/mg, and the uricase activity of baboons can reach 5IU/mg. Only 1 IU/mg (Michael H, Susan J.K. 2006. US7056713B1), and human uricase is inactive.
- Active urate oxidase is a homotetrameric protein, of which one-third of the amino acids are strongly hydrophobic amino acids, and the tetrameric proteins are easily aggregated to form octamers and larger aggregates.
- Molecules with a molecular weight of more than 100kDa can effectively induce the body to produce an immune response, while the molecular weight of the unmodified polymer uricase protein has reached 140kDa, and the polymer uricase with a larger molecular weight will have higher immunogenicity.
- the human body is prone to produce anti-uricase antibodies, which rapidly weaken its efficacy and cause severe allergic reactions, which cannot be used for long-term treatment.
- Covalent modification of proteins with PEG has been shown to reduce protein immunogenicity, increase protein solubility, and prolong protein half-life.
- a chimeric uricase study of pig origin and baboon origin was performed by Duke University and Sagent (Michael H, Susan J.K. 2006. US7056713B1).
- the method of this research is to ensure that the activity of the enzyme is not significantly reduced, and the ⁇ - of lysine residues of porcine uricase-like uricase is treated by a 10KDa methoxy-containing polyethylene glycol (10KDa-mPEG-NPC) with a molecular weight of 10KDa.
- Amino group is modified (the modified product obtained is Pegloticase), and the goal of treating intractable gout in humans has been initially achieved.
- the present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.
- the present invention provides a method for preparing polyethylene glycol-modified urate oxidase.
