The present invention relates to amylin, amylin receptor agonist or amylin analogue injection therapies for treating diabetes.
The invention relates to a composition in the form of an injectable aqueous solution, the pH of which is comprised from 6.0 to 8.0, comprising at least amylin, an amylin receptor agonist or an amylin analogue and a co-polyamino acid bearing carboxylate charges and hydrophobic radicals according to the invention and compositions further comprising insulin (excluding basal insulins the isoelectric point p1 of which is comprised from 5.8 to 8.5). The invention also relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising the compositions according to the invention. Finally, the invention also relates to a use of co-polyamino acids bearing carboxylate charges and hydrophobic radicals according to the invention for stabilizing amylin, amylin receptor agonist or amylin analogue compositions as well as amylin, amylin receptor agonist or amylin analogue compositions further comprising insulin.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease which leads to the destruction of beta cells in the pancreas. These cells are known to produce insulin, the primary function of which is to regulate glucose utilization in the peripheral tissues (Gerich 1993 Control of glycaemia). Consequently, patients with type 1 diabetes suffer from chronic hyperglycemia and are required to self-administer exogenous insulin in order to reduce this hyperglycemia. Insulin therapy has made it possible to obtain a drastic change in the life expectancy of these patients. However, the glycemia control ensured by exogenous insulin is not optimal, especially after a meal. This is due to the fact that these patients produce glucagon after taking a meal, which leads to the decrease of a part of the glucose stored in the liver, which is not the case in a healthy person. This glucagon-mediated glucose production worsens the problem of glycemia regulation in these patients.
It has been demonstrated that amylin, another hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas, and thus also deficient in type 1 diabetes patients, plays a key role in the regulation of post-prandial glycemia. Amylin, also known as “islet amyloid polypeptide” or IAPP, is a peptide of 37 amino acids, which is co-stored and co-secreted with insulin (Schmitz 2004 Amylin Agonists). This peptide is described to block the production of glucagon by alpha cells of the pancreas. Insulin and amylin thus have complementary and synergistic roles, insulin reduces blood glucose while amylin reduces the entry of endogenous glucose into the blood by inhibiting the production (secretion) of endogenous glucagon.
This problem of regulation of postprandial glucose is quite similar in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin given that their disease has led to a very significant loss in their beta cell mass and consequently, their ability to produce insulin and amylin.
Human amylin has properties that are not compatible with pharmaceutical requirements in terms of solubility and stability (Goldsbury C S, Cooper G J, Goldie K N, Muller S A, Saafi E L, W T Gruijters, Misur M P, Engel A, AeBIU, Kistler J: Polymorphic Fibrillar Assembly of Human Amylin. J Struct Biol 119: 17-27, 1997). Amylin is known to form amyloid fibers which lead to the formation of water-insoluble plaques. Although amylin is the natural hormone, it was necessary to develop an analogue in order to solve these solubility problems.
The physicochemical properties of amylin thus make its use impossible: amylin is stable for only about fifteen minutes at acidic pH and for less than a minute at neutral pH.
The Amylin company has developed an amylin analogue, pramlintide, for remedying the lack of stability of human amylin. This product, which is marketed under the name Symlin®, was approved in 2005 by the FDA for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It should be administered subcutaneously three times a day, one hour before the meal to improve control of postprandial blood glucose. This peptide is formulated at acidic pH and is described to fibrillate when the pH of the solution is greater than 5.5. Analogue variants are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,686,411.
This analogue is thus not satisfactory in terms of stability when a formulation at neutral pH is envisaged.
To date, there is no existing means for stabilizing human amylin in order to make a pharmaceutical product therewith. Yet, it would be advantageous for patients to have access to the human form of this physiological hormone. It would also be advantageous to be able to formulate an amylin analogue or an amylin receptor agonist at neutral pH.
In addition, there would be a benefit of being able to mix an amylin analogue, or an amylin receptor agonist, in aqueous solution amylin, with a prandial insulin since these two products are to be administered before a meal. This would also make it possible to mimic the physiology since these two hormones are co-secreted by beta cells in response to a meal to improve the control of postprandial blood glucose.
However, considering that prandial insulin solutions have a pH close to neutrality for chemical stability reasons, it is not possible to obtain an aqueous solution that meets the pharmaceutical requirements in terms of solubility and stability.
For this reason, patent application US2016/001002 from ROCHE describes a pump containing two separate reservoirs to enable the co-administration of these two hormones with a single medical device. However, this patent does not solve the problem of mixing these two hormones in solution thereby making it possible to administer them with the one-reservoir conventional pumps already on the market.
Patent application WO2013067022 from XERIS provides a solution to the problem of amylin stability and its compatibility with insulin by using an organic solvent instead of water. The absence of water seems to solve the stability problems but the use of an organic solvent raises chronic use safety issues in diabetic patients as well as compatibility issues with common medical devices, on the tubes, seals and plasticizers used.
Patent application WO2007104786 from NOVO NORDISK describes a method for stabilizing a solution of pramlintide, which is an analogue of amylin, and of insulin by the addition of phospholipid, derived from glycerophosphoglycerol, especially dimyristoyl glycerophosphoglycerol (DMPG). However, this solution requires the use of large quantities of DMPG which can pose a local tolerance problem. Furthermore, DMPG leads to compositions having quite poor physical stabilities at 0-4° C. as described in application WO2018122278.
To the applicant's knowledge, there is no satisfactory means for combining a prandial insulin and human amylin, an amylin receptor agonist or an amylin analogue in aqueous solution in order to be suitable for being administered with conventional devices.
The formulation at acidic pH and rapid fibrillation are obstacles to obtain apharmaceutical formulation at neutral pH based on amylin and pramlintide, but also hinder the combination of amyline or pramlintide with other active pharmaceutical ingredients, in particular peptides or proteins.
The applicant has observed that, surprisingly, co-polyamino acids according to the invention stabilize amylin, amylin receptor agonist or amylin analogue compositions at a pH ranging from 6 to 8. As a matter of fact, compositions comprising amylin, an amylin receptor agonist or an amylin analogue in combination with a co-polyamino acid according to the invention exhibit greater stability over time, which is of great interest for pharmaceutical development.
The applicant has found that co-polyamino acids according to the invention also make it possible to obtain a composition comprising prandial insulin and amylin, amylin receptor agonist or amylin analogue, said composition being clear and having an improved fibrillation stability.
A conventional method for measuring the stability of proteins or peptides is to measure the formation of fibrils using Thioflavin T, also known as ThT. This method makes it possible to measure the latency time before the formation of fibrils by measuring the increase in fluorescence, under temperature and stirring conditions which permit an acceleration of the phenomenon. The compositions according to the invention have a latency time before fibril formation significantly greater than that of amylin, an amylin receptor agonist or an amylin analogue at the pH of interest.
The compositions according to the invention have a satisfactory physical stability, and possibly a chemical stability, at the desired pH.

Amylin, or islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), is a 37-residue peptide hormone. It is co-secreted with insulin from pancreatic beta cells in the ratio of about 100:1. Amylin plays a role in glycemic regulation by stopping the secretion of endogenous glucagon and slowing down gastric emptying and promoting satiety, thereby reducing postprandial glucose excursions in blood glucose levels.
IAPP is processed from a coding sequence of 89 residues. Proislet amyloid polypeptide (proIAPP, proamyline, proislet protein) is produced in pancreatic beta cells (beta cells) in the form of a pro-peptide of SRO 67 amino acids, 7404 Dalton, and undergoes post-translational modifications including protease cleavage to produce amylin.
In the current application, amylin as mentioned refers to the compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,124,314 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,234,906.
The term “analogue”, when used in reference to a peptide or a protein, is understood to mean a peptide or a protein, wherein one or more constituent amino acid residues of the primary sequence have been substituted by other residues of amino acids and/or wherein one or more constituent amino acid residues have been deleted and/or wherein one or more constituent amino acid residues have been added. The percentage of homology allowed for the current definition of an analogue is 50%. In the case of amylin, an analogue may for example be derived from the primary amino acid sequence of amylin by substituting one or more natural or unnatural amino acids or peptidomimetics.
“Derivative”, when it is used in reference to a peptide or a protein, is understood to mean a peptide or protein or an analogue chemically modified with a sub stituent that is not present in the peptide or protein or analogue reference, in other words, a peptide or protein that has been modified by covalent bonding to introduce non-amino acid sub stituents.
An amylin receptor agonist refers to a compound that mimics one or more characteristics of amylin activity.

In a previously oven-dried flask, γ-benzyl-L-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (90.0 g, 342 mmol) is placed under vacuum for 30 minutes, then anhydrous DMF (465 ml) is added. The mixture is then stirred under argon until complete dissolution, cooled to 4° C., then hexylamine (1.8 ml 14 mmol) is quickly introduced. The mixture is stirred at 4° C. and room temperature for 2 days. The reaction medium is then heated at 65° C. for 4 hours, cooled to room temperature, then poured dropwise into diisopropyl ether (6 L) with stirring. The white precipitate is collected by filtration, washed with diisopropyl ether (500 ml×250 ml), then dried under vacuum at 30° C. to produce a poly (γ-benzyl-L-glutamic acid) (PBLG).
A hydrobromic acid solution (HBr) at 33% in acetic acid (135 mL, 0.77 mol) is added dropwise to a solution of PBLG (42.1 g) in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, 325 mL) at 4° C. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, then poured dropwise onto a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of diisopropyl ether and water with stirring (1.6 L). After stirring for 1 hour 30 minutes, the heterogeneous mixture is allowed to stand overnight. The white precipitate is collected by filtration, washed with a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of diisopropyl ether and water (200 mL).

The poor stability of a peptide can lead to the formation of amyloid fibrils, defined as ordered macromolecular structures. These may result in the formation of a gel within the sample.
The thioflavin fluorescence monitoring test T(ThT) is used to analyze the physical stability of the solutions. Thioflavin is a small probe molecule having a characteristic fluorescence signature when it binds to amyloid-type fibrils (Naiki et al. (1989) Anal. Bio Chem. 177, 244-249; LeVine (1999) Methods. Enzymol. 309, 274-284).
This method tracks fibril formation at low concentrations of ThT in undiluted solutions. This monitoring is performed under accelerated stability conditions: with stirring and at 37° C.
Samples were prepared just before the start of the measurement. The preparation of each composition is described in the corresponding example. Thioflavin T was added to the composition from a concentrated stock solution in order to induce a negligible dilution of the composition. The concentration of Thioflavin T in the composition is 1, 2 or 40 μM depending on the composition type: 40 μM in the case of human amylin compositions at 0.6 mg/mL, 2μM in the case of pramlintide compositions at 0.9 mg/mL and 0.6 mg/mL and 1 μM in pramlintide compositions at 0.4 mg/mL. This concentration is indicated in the legend relating to the latency time results table for each type of composition.
A 150 μL volume of the composition was introduced into a well of a 96-well plate. Each composition was analyzed in three tests (triplicate) within the same plate. The plate was sealed with a transparent film in order to prevent evaporation of the composition.
This plate was then placed in the enclosure of a plate reader (EnVision 2104 Multilabel, Perkin Elmer or Xenius XM, Safas). The temperature is adjusted to 37° C., and lateral agitation at 960 rpm with an amplitude of 1 mm is applied.
A reading of the fluorescence intensity in each well is made with an excitation wavelength of 442 nm, and an emission wavelength of 482 nm over time.
The fibrillation process is manifested by a strong increase in fluorescence after a delay called latency time.
For each well, this delay was determined graphically from the intersection between the baseline of the fluorescence signal and the slope of the fluorescence curve as a function of time determined during the strong initial increase in fluorescence. The reported latency time value corresponds to the average of latency time measurements made on three wells.
An example of a graphic determination is shown in
