Background technology
Along with the listing of first gene therapy product Gendicine in the world in 2004, gene therapy more and more obtained people's approval.Gene therapy has three elements: genes of interest, carry the carrier that gene enters cell inner expression, target cell.Wherein, the gene transfer vector of shortage specificity, targeting and high efficiency is a difficult problem of gene therapy always.At present, the carrier that is used for gene therapy research mainly is divided into viral vector and non-virus carrier two big classes.Non-virus carrier mainly refers to liposome and naked DNA, its gene transfer system since can reprint gene unrestricted, safe, can be handling characteristics such as by force, its exploitation comes into one's own in recent years, but, limited non-virus carrier in the field of gene broader applications because gene imports the low and poor specificity of efficient.
Virus has some unique character such as most virus can infect special cell, is difficult for degraded etc. in cell, so viral vector is good gene delivery body, and the utilization in gene therapy more and more widely.It is pathogenic that but most of wild-type virus all have body, just can be used for human body after therefore need transforming it.In principle, various types of viruses can both be transformed into viral vector.But because the multiformity of virus reaches and the dependence of body complexity, people so far to the biocycle of many viruses, molecular biology, take place with disease and the understanding of the relation of development etc. also very not comprehensive, develop into carrier thereby limited many viruses with practicality.Over nearly 20 years, retrovirus retrovirus, adenovirus, adeno-associated virus, herpesvirus (comprising herpes simplex virus, vaccinia virus and Epstein-Barr virus), Alphavirus etc. are transformed, and success be used for gene transfer vector.
Along with the extensive use of viral vector, the viral vector stability of formulation also more and more is subjected to related personnel's attention, because the pharmaceutical preparation stability study is the important means of ensuring drug quality.The stability of pharmaceutical preparation relates to the transportation and the condition of storage of pharmaceutical preparation, has influence on the cost of medicine, and the safety that also has influence on medication is with effective.The factor that influences the recombinant adenovirus preparation stability is a lot, and principal element comprises prescription factor and extraneous factor.Extraneous factor mainly refers to light, humidity, temperature, number of freezing and thawing or the like; The prescription factor mainly refers to the prescription composition, except that principal agent, has also added various adjuvants, and prescription is formed the stability of formulation influence bigger.
Gu Jing, the patent of Tong Yong etc. (200410016000.7) has been introduced the preparation of lyophilizing recombinant adenovirus: adopt freezing dry process, can good stability be arranged in 4-8 ℃ of preservation 30 months after making it to become lyophilized formulations.
The patent of U.S. merck company has also been protected the preparation of recombinant adenovirus, and wherein the preparation of patent 20050186225 protections comprises virus, at least one antioxidant and at least a sugar, and concentration is the salt of 100mM.Said preparation can store 2 years at 2-8 ℃.
The preparation of patent 20020041884 protections comprises purified virus, Tris, sucrose, salt, MgCl

United States Patent (USP) 6,451,256 have protected the preparation of 0.75-1.5M sucrose concentration.
Nyberg-Hoffman etc. disclose the adenovirus lyophilized formulations, and its composition comprises Tris, sucrose and MgCl

Croyle etc. disclose adenovirus lyophilized formulations and liquid preparation, comprise Tris, sodium phosphate buffer, sucrose, trehalose or sorbose/gel.Stability based on the adjuvant energy enhance liquid adenovirus preparation of cyclodextrin is also disclosed simultaneously.
Have only the listing of gene therapy product at present in the world, i.e. Gendicine, its storage temperature is-20 ℃, the storage time is 3 years.

11The recombined human hepatitis B virus core antigen 10ml of adenovirus preparation of vp/ml joins in the good adjuvant of above-mentioned dissolving, transfers pH, and distilled water is supplied 1000ml, mix homogeneously, 0.22 μ m film aseptic filtration, at last by 1ml/ prop up carry out aseptic subpackaged.
For the adenovirus goods, generally require refrigerated storage below freezing, in transportation and use, take place, so design multigelation and test and investigate the recombinant adenovirus stability of formulation because variations in temperature just has the situation of freeze thawing.The once circulation of freezing-thawing test is: freeze more than 15 minutes at-80 ℃ of refrigerators, thawed about 15 minutes 37 ℃ of water-baths then.Each prescription is respectively got 4 (1ml/ props up), and freeze thawing is 0 time respectively, and 5 times, 10 times, 20 times.Carry out the mensuration of TCID50 afterwards.Measurement result is seen accompanying drawing 1.Experimental result shows: adopt prescription 1 through behind the different number of freezing and thawing, preservation recombinant adenovirus stability of formulation is best, and the virus titer loss is minimum.Taking second place of prescription 2 and 4.
Because adenovirus preparation is relatively more responsive to temperature, so design at 8 ℃, 37 ℃ of two temperature are carried out the virus titer mensuration of four prescription different times, come four kinds of prescriptions of comparison with this in addition.Measurement result is seen Fig. 2,3 respectively.Virus titer detection at 8 ℃ of different times that carry out shows the place: adopt prescription 1 to carry out 8 ℃ of preservations, in 8 weeks of preservation that can be complete, virus titer is variation not; And preserve at 37 ℃, virus titer loses, but comparatively speaking, the loss minimum of prescription 1, the loss of prescription 2 and 4 is taken second place
The test method of medicine stability comprises accelerated test and long term test.
Embodiment 2: preparation accelerated test (temperature-time test)
By quickening the chemistry or the physical change of medicine, the prediction stability of drug.
Prescription 1 preparation from taking-up some a collection of preparation, divide different temperature conditions to deposit :-80 ℃ ,-20 ℃, 8 ℃, 37 ℃.With preparation difference good lot number of labelling and storage temperature.On the same day (0 week) that minute different temperatures is deposited, sampling detects, and takes a sample respectively according to the time point in the following form later on and carries out the TCID50 detection.
Table 1: preparation accelerated tests condition of different temperatures detects frequency

Testing result is seen Fig. 4.As seen from the figure, deposited for 24 weeks at-80 ℃ ,-20 ℃ and 8 ℃, the quality of preparation is all very stable, and testing result fluctuates in the measured deviation scope, and 37 ℃ of its quality remarkable decline is arranged.So adenovirus preparation can carry out short-term in these three temperature and deposit, and does not influence the infection titer of preparation.Whether can carry out long-term storage and need further checking.
Embodiment 3: long-term stable experiment
Long term test is to carry out under the actual storage requirement near medicine, its objective is that the effect duration for working out medicine provides foundation.
3 result designs this experiment: select 8 ℃ and carry out the long-time stability experiment in conjunction with the embodiments.Three batches prescriptions, 1 preparation is deposited at 8 ℃, and on the same day of depositing (0 month), sampling detects, and the TCID50 detection is carried out in sampling when depositing 1,3,6,9,12,18,24,36 months later on.Testing result sees Table 2:
