[0028] The present invention provides a new PEG-leuprolide conjugate and its synthesis method, through the direct reaction of monomethoxypolyethylene glycol succinimide active ester with unprotected leuprolide to obtain leuprolide PEG-leuprolide conjugate (I or II) modified by the imidazole group on the 2-position histidine of propylidene, the reaction formula is shown in the figure below:

[0029]

[0030] In the present invention, the leuprolide includes leuprolide and leuprolide acetate. The structure of the active ester of monomethoxy polyethylene glycol succinimide is CH 3 O-(CH 2 CH 2 O)x-(CH 2 CH 2 )y-NHS; x is an integer value of 10 to 1300, the structure of polyethylene glycol includes linear structure and branched structure, and the molecular weight is 400-60KDa; y is an integer value of 0, 0.5, 1 to 5, including monomethyl Carbonate, acetate, propionate, succinate, valerate, etc. of oxypolyethylene glycol succinimide. In the reaction, the molar ratio of leu...

Abstract

The invention provides a novel PEG-leuprolide conjugate and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps that a methoxy-polyethylene glycol succinimide active ester directly reacts with unprotected leuprolide to obtain imidazolyl-modified PEG-leuprolide conjugate on the histidine 2-D-histidine. The conjugate retains leuprolide activity, a half-life period is extended, plasma clearance is reduced, and pharmacokinetic properties are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, in particular to a PEG-leuprolide conjugate and a synthesis method thereof. Background technique [0002] Leuprolide is a polypeptide composed of nine amino acids, and its amino acid sequence is: GLP-HIS-TRP-SER-TYR-DLEU-LEU-ARG-PRO-NHET, which is a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone ( GnRH, also known as luteinizing hormone releasing hormone, LHRH) analogs, its activity is much higher than natural GnRH. In short-term use, due to its agonistic effect on gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors, it can promote the secretion of gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and the secretion of steroid hormones from the testes or ovaries. When used for a long time, due to the influence of receptor down-regulation, the secretion of gonadotropins is inhibited, thereby inhibiting the secretion of steroid hormones by reproductive organs. Therefore, leuprolide is clinically used to treat or alleviate...
