The preparation of human interferon alpha derivative and pegylated products thereof thereof and purposes
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of biomedicine technology, be specifically related to the preparation and the purposes of human interferon alpha derivative and pegylated products thereof thereof.
Background technology
Human interferon (interferon, be called for short IFN) be the active protein that exists in the class body with broad-spectrum antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory function, it is one of cytokine that is used for the earliest clinical treatment, human interferon can be divided into three types, it is human interferon-alpha, human interferon-β, human interferon-gamma also can be further divided into some hypotypes according to the aminoacid sequence difference of various IFN.Prove that through a large amount of clinical studyes human interferon-alpha is a kind of important antitumor and antiviral therapy medicine.At present China clinical most popular mainly be recombinant human interferon-alpha-1a, α-2a and α-1b.
There is more than 20 gene member in the I type family of finder's interferon alpha at present, and wherein most of encode functional protein has about 90% homology each other on nucleotide level.Human interferon-alpha is made up of 165 amino acid, and molecular weight is about 19000 dalton.The clinical therapeutic efficacy of existing human interferon-alpha preparation is still undesirable, and its antiviral specific activity only is 1 * 10
8IU/mg, the bigger shortcoming of side effect when existing heavy dose.
But, no matter be human interferon-alpha-2a, human interferon-alpha-1b and human interferon-alpha-1a, as the protein medicine, because poor stability, the transformation period weak point easily produces antigen antibody reaction etc. in the plasma clearance height, body, is very limited on clinical treatment.Genetic engineering technique makes extensive synthetic human recombination protein become possibility, has solved the immunogenicity problem that heterologous protein causes to a great extent, but still can't overcome shortcomings such as the fast and bioavailability of plasma clearance is low.The result that these shortcomings cause is: need frequent injection human interferon just can reach effective plasma treatment concentration; And, all can cause after the per injection Plasma Concentration than great fluctuation process, form " Feng Yigu " effect of drug level.So just may increase the risk of medical expense and administration inconvenience and untoward reaction.
Polyethyleneglycol modified proteinic technology is a kind of new technology that is used to improve pharmacokinetics character in the protein drug body that grows up over past ten years.It is that activated polyglycol molecule (PEG) is bonded on the protein molecule surface, thereby influence proteinic space structure, finally cause the change of the various biochemical properties of protein, as: chemical stability increases, the ability of opposing protease hydrolysis improves, immunogenicity and toxicity reduce or disappear, and the transformation period prolongs in the body, and plasma clearance reduces or the like.
The PEG component is the amphipathic molecule of the inertia long-chain that is polymerized by the oxygen vinyl monomer.Now existing multiple different PEG molecule can be for utilizing.Its active function gene of the PEG that is activated can be coupled to certain privileged sites (such as amino, sulfydryl or other nucleophiles) of treatment molecule.N-terminal is modified then can obtain the high specific modified outcome, can effectively control the purity of modified outcome, makes the simpler and also easier evaluation of quality product of technology.
Summary of the invention
One of purpose of the present invention provides a kind of new human interferon alpha derivative, is by human interferon-alpha is modified acquisition, and this human interferon alpha derivative has the specific activity height, and antiviral specific activity reaches 5~10 * 10
8IU/mg, stronger 5~10 times than human interferon-alpha, and the high advantage of Pegylation modification rate.
