Description
ENZYME DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF THROMBOSIS
This invention relates to a plasminogen activator, processes for preparing the activator and pharmaceutical compositions containing it.
US Patent No. 4 326 033 (Abbott Laboratories) discloses a method of increasing the biological alf life of the fibrinolytic agent urokinase which consists of chemically treating urokinase to remove or degrade carbohydrate units in the urokinase molecule. The patent states that this treatment results in the retention of 20% of the fibrinolytic activity of the original starting material.
Urokinase is one of many glycoproteins, and there is no indication in the above US Patent that the treatment described therein would have any applicability to other glycoproteins.
We have now discovered that removal or degradation of carbohydrate units in an unrelated glycoprotein to urokinase, namely tissue-type plasminogen activator, produces unexpectedly high retention of fibrinolytic activity as compared to the unmodified activator, coupled with increased biological half life.
Tissue-type plasminogen activator (hereinafter referred to as t-PA) is, unlike urokinase, similar in its immunolo ical and biological nature to human extrinsic plasminogen activator normally present in human blood. T-PA can be readily isolated from the culture fluid of human melanoma cells, and has been shown to have a potent thrombolytic effect in animals and man.
According to the present invention, there is provided structurally modified tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) wherein at least part of the carbohydrate portion of the t-PA molecule is removed or degraded, the modified t-PA having at least 50% of retained fibrinolytic activity compared to unmodified t-PA.
The required modification of t-PA can be carried out in various ways, but preferred methods are as follows:-
i) Chemical degradation of carbohydrate units utilising, for example, sodium periodate. This method of degradation is based on published procedures (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 57, 55, 1974).
ii) Enzymatic treatment of t-PA with a mixture of exo lycosidases, selected for example from (3-galactosidase, α-mannosidase, -fucosidase, B-N-acetylglucosaminidase or neuraminidase, or one or more endoglycosidases, such as endoglycosidase D (from Diplococcus pneumoniae) or endoglycosidase H (from Streptomyces plicatus).
iii) Preparation from cultured cells, for example, melanoma cells, grown in the presence of an inhibitor of protein glycosylation, such as tunicamycin.
iv) Preparation by recombinant DNA techniques in bacterial systems. This can be carried out by cloning the genetic information for t-PA into prokaryotes.
T-PA can itself be obtained according to the method described in Published European Patent Application No. 0 041 766, which describes the production of a preferred form of t-PA, namely melanoma plasminogen activator, from human melanoma cells.
The proportion of retained fibrinolytic activity of the structurally modified t-PA depends to some extent on the method of modification and the efficiency of recovery and purification. We have found that by employing the method of paragraph (i) above, and carefully monitoring the physical conditions of the degradation process, we can obtain 70% or more of retained fibrinolytic activity.
The modified t-PA of this invention can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions in accordance with standard procedures.
Accordingly, the invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises structurally modified t-PA as defined herein together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The composition is preferably adapted for intravenous administration to human beings.
Typically, compositions for intravenous administration are solutions of the modified t-PA in sterile isotonic aqueous buffer. Where necessary the composition may also include a solubilizing agent to keep the modified t-PA in solution and a local anaesthetic such as lignocaine to ease pain at the site of injection. Generally, the modified t-PA will be supplied in unit dosage form for example as a dry powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as an ampoule or sachette indicating the quantity of t-PA in activity units. Where the modified t-PA is to be administered by infusion, it will be dispensed with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade 'Water for Injection'. Where the modified t-PA is to be administered by injection, it is dispensed with an ampoule of sterile water for injection. The injectable or infusable* composition will be made up by mixing the ingredients prior to administration.
The quantity of material administered will depend upon the amount of fibrinolysis required and the speed with which it is required, the seriousness of the thromboembolic condition and the position and size of the clot. The precise dose to be employed and mode of administration may be decided according to the circumstances by the physician supervising treatment. However, in general, a patient being treated for a medium size thrombus will generally receive a daily dose of from 0.10 to 1.0 mg kg"1 of body weight either by injection in up to eight doses or by infusion.
In a further aspect the invention provides a therapeutic or prophylactic method of treating thrombosis in human or non-human animals, which comprises treating an animal with an effective, non-toxic amount of the structurally modified plasminogen activator of the invention.
The following example illustrates the invention:-
OM?I
Example
Melanoma plasminogen activator (MPA) was purified to 70-90% purity from cultured Bowes melanoma cells by chromatography using zinc-chelate agarose, and lysine - Sepharose.
The purified MPA was then subjected to carbohydrate degradation, based on published procedures (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. , j57_, 55, 1974) which were modified in order to obtain a high degree of recovery of- enzyme activity.
Purified MPA was dissolved in a buffer containing 0.1 M sodium phosphate, 0.15M sodium chloride, 0.01% Tween 80, pH 6.0 at a concentration of about 0.5-1.0 mg/mi. Any contaminating ions present in the MPA preparation can be removed by prior gel filtration or dialysis. To this solutiorr~was added a solution of 0.1 M sodium periodate in the above buffer to a final concentration of 10 mM. The solution was kept at 4©C in the dark for one hour. During this period the enzymic activity, as measured by chromogenic substrate assay,' dropped to 70% of the original. One-tenth of the volume of glycerol was added followed by ethanola ine to a final concentration of 20-50 mM. The activity returned to approximately 100%. The solution was then gel filtered on a column of Sephadex G-25 equilibrated with the described phosphate buffer in order to remove excess reagents. About 70-90% of the original activity was recovered.
On human fibrin plates containing human plasminogen, the modified activator was found to be equally active as the native activator.
OMH
Methods
Chromogenic substrate assay - MPA was assayed by spectrophotometric measurement of the rate of release of p-nitroaniline from the substrate S-2288 (Kabi Diagnostica) when incubated with the enzyme in 0.1 M triethanolamine buffer, pH 8.0 at 25θC. The substrate concentration was 1 mM.
Assay of fibrinolytic activity in the bloodstream of rats
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (300-400 g) were anaesthetized with pentobarbitone sodium (60 mg/kg i.p.). One carotid artery was cannύlated for collection of blood samples. One femoral vein was cannulated for injection of heparin (50 U/kg) and compound under test. Approximately 5 min after heparinization, a pre-dose blood sample (0.8 ml) was taken and mixed with 0.1 volumes 129 mM trisodium citrate. The compound under test was then injected (1 ml/kg) over 10s. Further blood samples were taken exactly 1,2,4,8,16,30 and 60 min later. Heparin treatment (50 U/kg) was repeated after the 30 min sample to maintain cannula patency. All citrated blood samples were kept on ice until the end of each experiment, then centrifuged at 1700 g for 15 min at 4θ to obtain plasma. The euglobulin fraction was precipitated by adding 0.1 ml each plasma to 1.82 ml ice-cold 0.011% (v/v) acetic acid in water. After 30 min standing in ice, all tubes were centrifuged at 1700 g for 15 min at 4°. The supernatants were poured away, the inner walls of each tube carefully wiped dry and each precipitate redissolved in 0.4 ml 0.1 M triethanolamine HC1 buffer, pH 8.0, containing 0.05%
(w/v) sodium azide. Aliquots (20μl) were then applied to fibrin plates in quadruplicate. Fibrin plates were prepared from 0.4% (w/v) human fibrinogen (Kabi, Grade L, Flow Laboratories, Scotland) dissolved in 0.029 M barbitone in 125 mM NaCl, pH 7.4, pipetted (9 ml) into 10 x 10 cm square plastic dishes (Sterilin) and clotted by rapid mixing with 0.3 ml bovine thrombin (50 NIH units/ml, Parke-Davis, UK). Plates were incubated at 370 for 18-24h usually, but longer if required, and stained with aqueous bro ophenol blue. For each lysis zone, two diameters perpendicular to each other were measured using Vernier calipers. All diameters for each sample were averaged, and this mean converted to- fibrinolytic activity by reference to a calibration curve. The latter was obtained by adding known amounts of the compound under test to a stock of plasma pooled from at least ten rats. These standards were processed using the same methods and. at" the same time as the experimental samples. To construct the calibration curve, diameters (mm) were plotted against log^g concentration of compound. The plasma concentration of compound in each experimental sample was expressed as a percentage of that expected on the basis of the dose given and the assumption of 35 ml plasma/kg body weight for each rat.

Results
Fig. 1 shows the clearance of native and modified MPA from the bloodstream of the rat. The modified MPA is cleared less rapidly than the native material.
Thrombolysis in vivo is generally considered to be a prolonged event which requires significant concentrations of activator to be present over a long period; the initial rapid clearance phase (which is essentially identical for both modified and native MPA) is of less importance than the second phase. Fig. 1 shows that after the first ca. 10 minutes, the plasma, concentration of modified MPA is on average six times that of native MPA and that the rate of clearance is significantly slower for the modified form.
