Deactivated protein derivatives

[2]

Technisches area

[3]

Immunotoxine are connections, which e.g. consist generally of an immunologically effective part, like an antibody, preferably a monoclonal antibody, and a Toxin. Immunotoxine are used for selective killing of neoplastischen cells in the framework of the cancer therapy.

[4]

in case of of Immunotoxinen, which consist of an antibody and a nonspecific Toxin, the Toxin can become effective opposite cells by the fact that a) the Immunotoxin over the Toxinanteil is bound and internalized nonspecific at cells or b) the Immunotoxin of an enzymatic Lyse is subject, whereby the connection between antibodies and nonspecific Toxin is solved and the Toxin is set free; the Toxin becomes nonspecific effective also in this case. Both cases the death of cells enters by the Toxinanteil of the assigned Immunotoxins, without a selective controlling of the Toxins on goal cells is possible.

[5]

Ziel to the invention

[6]

Die available invention aims off to create new deactivated protein derivatives it at a certain group of actually nonspecific celltoxically effective Toxinen, i.e. with Lectinen and Bakterientoxinen, make possible, to prevent a connection of these Toxine at the cell surface. The invention aims further at the creation of connections suitable for the deactivation of proteins and procedure for the production of these protein derivatives and connections as well as at the use of the deactivated protein derivatives with the production from Immunotoxinen.

[7]

Ausführliche description of the invention

[8]

Unter Lectinen is to be understood in the context of the invention a group from proteins to, which exhibit at least two connection places for groups of coal hydrates. Bakterientoxine are of pathogenen bacteria produced proteins, which consist of two components, of which the one component toxically work and which other component, which is even not toxic, makes possible the connection of the Toxins to the cell membrane over connection places for coal hydrates as well as its penetration into the cell.

[9]

Den both types of the aforementioned proteins, i.e. the Lectinen and the Bakterientoxinen, are common that they are cytotoxic substances, which exhibit two different sections in their structures. With a structural section they can be bound over coal hydrate connection places to the cell surface, whereby a Internalisation is made possible into the cell. The other structural section can determined, for the cell vitally necessary enzyme systems block and thus in a monomolecular reaction cell death to cause. By the available invention succeeds to block and by to the Toxin the ability taking coal hydrate connection places in proteins of the type of the Lectine and Bakterientoxine to the cell surface to be bound and into the cell penetrate.

[10]

Die new, deactivated protein derivatives in accordance with the available invention have the general formula EMI2.1 where n a number from 1 to 3 are, A for the remainder of a protein of the type of the Lectine or Bakterientoxine stands, for g 1 a remainder of a coal hydrate from the mono, Di, the trichloroethylene and Tetrasaccharide and their derivatives comprehensive group meant and R2 is a hydrogen atom, a C1-C10-Alkylrest or the Nitrogruppe. In the general formula (I) can A for the remainder of any protein of the type of the Lectine or Bakterientoxine stand. If preferential remainders of the type of the Lectine are the Ricin, the Abrin and the Viscum album Lectin remainder, preferential remainders of the type of the Bakterientoxine are Diphtherietoxin, E.colitoxin, protein A and Pseudomonastoxin remainder.

[11]

Die new protein derivatives of of the general formula (I) contain proteins, whose coal hydrate connection places are blocked by the remainder of a Aminobenzoesäurederivats, which contains a remainder of g 1. Preferential remainders of g 1 are Galactose, lactose, Mannose, Galactosamin, N-Acetylgalactosamin, Glucosamin or N-Acetylglucosamin-remainders. Preferential alkyl residues R2 have 1 to 5 carbon atoms, in particular 1, 2 or 3 carbon atoms, like methyl, ethyl and Propyl.

[12]

In the deactivated protein derivatives according to invention (I) is intact structural portion of the protein remainder of The affecting the cell system, cannot however due to being present the group of blockings with the remainder of g 1 not into the cell penetrate and from there there not become effective.

[13]

Die new protein derivatives of the general formula (I) are valuable for the use with the production of Immunotoxinen.

[14]

Um the Toxine of the deactivated protein derivatives according to invention of the general formula (I), which a remainder of A of a protein of the type of the Lectine or Bakterientoxine contained to let become celleffective needs this blocked Toxine a specific carrier, that makes the penetration possible into the cell. The absence of such a carrier excludes a nonspecific, toxic effect of the Toxinanteils of the new deactivated protein derivatives. Examples of such carrier, the one cell-specific, toxic effect of the deactivated protein derivatives according to invention of the general formula (I) release, are monoclonal antibodies.

[15]

Zur production of the new deactivated protein derivatives of the general formula (I) sets one a Azidobenzoesäurederivat of the general formula EMI4.1 where g 1 and has R2 the meanings indicated above, with a protein of the type of the Lectine or Bakterientoxine to a protein derivative of the general formula (I) over. The proteins (Toxine), used with this manufacturing process, in addition, are to be acquired generally available, can by extraction from plants and/or their seeds as well as from bacteria be won. The cleaning is made appropriately affinitätschromatographisch, preferably by a column, which is filled with appropriate immobilized coal hydrate, and by means of ion exchange chromatography, preferably using Cm-Sepharose.

[16]

Die Azidobenzoesäurederivate of the general formula (II) used with the above manufacturing process is again and is also the subject of the available invention. They can be manufactured, by converting Azidobenzoesäuren of the formula EMI4.2 or their reactive derivatives, where R2 has the meaning indicated above, with coal hydrates from the mono, Di, the trichloroethylene and Tetrasaccharide and their derivatives comprehensive group. Preferred reactive derivatives of Azidobenzoesäuren of the formula (III) are N-Hydroxysuccinimidester of the appropriate Azidobenzoesäure.

[17]

Nach a special execution form of the procedure according to invention for the production of the Azidobenzoesäurederivate of the general formula (II) shifting of the N-Hydroxysuccinimidester with Aminozuckern takes place in H2O/DMF-Lösungsmittelgemi.

[18]

Die cleaning of the connections of the general formula (II) takes place appropriately via Säulenchromatographie on silicagel derivatives with a mixture from water and acetonitrile as Eluens.

[19]

Die conversion of the Azidobenzoesäurederivate of of the general formula (II) with the one remainder of A containing proteins (Toxinen) can be accelerated by influence of light. Appropriately one works when using Azidobenzoesäurederivaten of the general formula (II), where R2 means a hydrogen atom or a C1-C10-Alkylrest, under irradiation with UV light in homogeneous, aqueous solution. When using Azidobenzoesäurederivaten of the general formula (II), where R2 means the Nitrogruppe, working under irradiation with visible light is favourable in homogeneous, aqueous solution. The duration of the irradiation for the photo activation of the Azidobenzoesäurederivate of the general formula (II) several hours can amount to with 4 DEG C.

[20]

Die separation and cleaning of the new deactivated protein derivatives of the general formula (I) been made appropriately via affinity chromatography, best by a column filled with appropriate immobilized coal hydrate.
