Human glucagon is a short-acting hyperglycemic hormone that increases blood sugar, thereby correcting a hypoglycemic level that may result from excess insulin. It permits the release of glucose by stimulation of hepatic glycogenolysis, and has (hypoglycemic) insulin antagonistic properties. Human glucagon is normally secreted by the alpha cells of Langerhans islets in the pancreas when hypoglycemia is detected.
Human glucagon is used for therapeutic purposes, such as the emergency treatment of severe hypoglycemia, also called “rescue”, as well as within a diagnostic framework during medical exams, for example to inhibit gastrointestinal motility. Human glucagon is also envisaged for other applications, especially its use in a bi-hormonal blood glucose control system also called artificial pancreas and in congenital hyperinsulinism which is a rare disease characterized by very high levels of insulin.
The clinical use of human glucagon has been limited because of some of its poor properties for developing a stable pharmaceutical product for therapeutic purposes. In fact, human glucagon has a very low solubility at physiological pH and a high physical instability because of its propensity to form fibrils over a wide range of pH. It is for this reason that the only commercial products based on human glucagon (Glucagen®, NOVO NORDISK and Glucagon for injection, ELI LILLY) are freeze-dried forms to be reconstituted extemporaneously.
The studies by Onoue et al. (Pharm Res 2004, 21 (7), 1274-83) have shown the potentially dangerous nature of these fibrils: fibrillated human glucagon being cytotoxic in mammalian cells in culture.
In addition to its physical instability, human glucagon undergoes various types of chemical degradation. In aqueous solution, it degrades rapidly to form several degradation products. At least 16 human glucagon degradation products have been identified by Kirsh et al. (International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2000, 203, 115-125). The chemical degradation of this human glucagon is therefore rapid and complex.
The poor chemical and physical stability of human glucagon in solution has led pharmaceutical companies like NOVO NORDISK, ELI LILLY and more recently FRESENIUS KABI to market this human glucagon in the form of a lyophilizate to be reconstituted at acidic pH (pH<3) just before injection. Human glucagon in freeze-dried form is more stable, and preparing the formulation at acidic pH immediately prior to use provides a clear solution. However, once the product is reconstituted, it must be used rapidly because it undergoes extremely rapid chemical and physical degradation in the acidic reconstitution buffer, with the appearance of human glucagon fibrils within 24 hours of reconstitution, and/or gelation of the composition. This form of the product is nonetheless unsatisfactory because it requires a rapid use of the formulation. This instability not only makes use in pump impossible, but it also has the disadvantage of leading to significant product losses in diagnostic use. This type of composition is actually wasteful since it is no longer usable a few hours after preparation.
Finally, even in its use for emergency treatment of severe hypoglycemic reactions, which may occur during insulin therapy in diabetic patients, the formulation to be reconstituted is not ideal either, because it involves a long and complicated preparation, for example GlucaGen® user guide describes a 5-step process for injecting the recommended dose. Moreover, a study from LOCEMIA indicates that very few people (about 10% of the participants) in need of emergency reconstitution were able to deliver the correct dose. Finally, the acidic pH of human glucagon solutions can cause pain upon injection for the patient.
There is therefore a need for a ready-to-use human glucagon solution. Today, the most clinically advanced solutions for delivering human glucagon circumvent the stability issue with human glucagon in aqueous solution in different ways.
The Locemia COMPANY has developed a freeze-dried human glucagon spray, currently tested in a phase 3 clinical study, which is intended to be administered intranasally. This spray is suitable for “rescue” use, that is, in the case of severe hypoglycemia, because it is ready for use and therefore easy to use, unlike the solutions to be prepared. However, this product is not suitable for pump use or a use requiring an accurate control of the amount of human glucagon delivered.
Meanwhile, XERIS has developed a liquid formulation of human glucagon based on a polar aprotic solvent, such as DMSO, currently tested in clinical studies. However, if the injection of organic solvent solution for “rescue” use is conceivable, it is highly preferable to have a human glucagon aqueous solution for chronic use. Compositions comprising an association with other peptides are envisaged, in particular amylin or GLP-1 RA (glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonist).
Finally, with increasing difficulties of formulating human glucagon, human glucagon analogues are being developed by major pharmaceutical companies, such as NOVO NORDISK, SANOFI OR ELI LILLY, in order to obtain formulations having a stability compatible with a pharmaceutical use. However, these peptides for which the primary sequence has been modified in relation to human peptide may pose a safety risk for patients.
There is therefore a major interest for a solution that would improve both the chemical and physical solubilization and stability of human glucagon in aqueous solution at a pH close to physiological pH, hence from 6.0 to 8.0. This could lead to a pharmaceutical product easier to use by a patient in an emergency, but also pave the way for new therapeutic uses of human glucagon, such as its use in a bihormonal artificial pancreas.
The prior art proposes solutions to attempt to solve this problem.
Some documents recommend applying abasic pH. For example, US2015291680 recommends the solubilization of human glucagon at 1 mg/ml at a pH ranging from 8.8 to 9.4 and using ferulic acid or tetrahydrocurcumin. However, in addition to being at basic pH, this solution has the disadvantage of leading to a fairly time-limited human glucagon stability. The article by Jackson et al. (Curr Diab, Rep., 2012, 12, 705-710) proposes to formulate human glucagon at basic pH (approximately 10) in order to limit the formation of fibrils. However, this solution does not prevent rapid chemical degradation of human glucagon.
Patent application WO2014096440 (NOVOZYME) on the contrary envisages a slightly acidic pH (about 5.5) in the presence of albumin and polysorbate, in order to improve the stability by reducing the rate of fibrillation. However, this solution exhibits limited improvement of the stability. Most solutions described in the prior art making it possible to obtain a clear solution of human glucagon and to prevent aggregation, gelation or precipitation of human glucagon involve the use of known surfactants, detergents or solubilizing agents.
For example, Matilainen et al. (J. Pharm Sci, 2008, 97, 2720-2729 and Eur J. Pharm Sci., 2009, 36, 412-420) described the use of cyclodextrin to limit the formation rate of human glucagon fibrils. However, the improvement provided seems insufficient to consider a use in pump.
Among the proposed solutions are hydrophilic surfactants:
The surfactants indicated in the above documents may be too toxic or irritating for chronic subcutaneous use. For example, lysophospholipids (or lysolecithins) are known to lyse red blood cells because of their hemolytic properties. When injected subcutaneously, this can cause local tissue damage and pain at the injection site. In the case of continuous injection by a pump, this can lead to pain and/or irritation at the insertion site of the needle. International application WO2011138802 (Sun Pharma) discloses a ready-to-use solution of human glucagon in micellar aqueous solution at a pH ranging from 5 to 7.5 in the presence of a pegylated lipid (pegylated distearoyl-phosphotidylethanolamine). However, Garay et al. (Expert Opin Drug Deliv (2012) 9, 1319-1323) reveal that polyethylene glycol (PEG) is both immunogenic and antigenic. This can be detrimental to patients with anti-PEG antibodies. Furthermore, Ganson et al. (J. Allergy Clin Immunol (2015) doi: 10.1016/j.jaci.2015.10.034) outline that a clinical study of pegnivacogin coupled with 40 kDa methoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG) led to inflammatory responses at the first dose of pegnivacogin in 3 out of 640 patients. Of these three patients, two met the criteria for anaphylaxis and one had an isolated dermal reaction, each event was considered serious, and one was even considered to be life-threatening. These adverse events triggered the discontinuation of the clinical trial and raised the problem of adverse effects of pegylated compounds.
WO2013101749 (LATITUDE) discloses nano-emulsions of human glucagon. However, it claims rather modest performance in terms of chemical stability, i.e. the composition comprises at least 75% of the initial concentration after 3-7 days at 37° C.
In addition, it should be noted that to date, to the applicant's knowledge, no pharmaceutical formulation comprising human glucagon in the form of an aqueous solution has been tested in clinical study.
Therefore, there remains a need for a liquid aqueous formulation at a pH close to physiological pH ranging from 6.0 to 8.0 to solubilize and obtain good stability of human glucagon, both in terms of physical stability and chemical stability. More specifically, there is a need for such a formulation that can be used in a bihormonal pump (insulin/human glucagon).
This need is so clear that Tan et al. (Diabetes, 2013, 62, 1131-138) illustrate that combining human glucagon with a GLP-1 RA is an attractive proposition for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. However, the ability to formulate human glucagon in a stable manner in aqueous solution at a pH close to physiological pH ranging from 6.0 to 8.0 makes it possible to be in more favorable conditions for improving the stability of GLP-1 RAs; sensitive to acidic or basic conditions.
The co-polyamino acids bearing carboxylate charges and hydrophobic radicals Hy according to the invention exhibit excellent resistance to hydrolysis. This can especially be viewed under accelerated conditions, for example by hydrolysis tests at basic pH (pH 12).
In addition, forced oxidation tests, for example of the fenton oxidation type, reveal that the co-polyamino acids bearing carboxylate charges and hydrophobic radicals Hy have a good resistance to oxidation.
Moreover, the present invention makes it possible to obtain a faster action and/or a faster absorption of glucagon.
It also aims to improve the efficiency of the co-polyamino acids bearing carboxylate charges and hydrophobic radicals Hy with respect to glucagon.

In a previously oven-dried flask, γ-benzyl-L-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (100.0 g, 380 mmol) is placed under vacuum for 30 minutes, then anhydrous DMF (250 mL) is added. The mixture is then stirred under argon until complete dissolution, cooled to 4° C., then hexylamine (2.3 ml, 17 mmol) is quickly introduced. The mixture is stirred between 4° C. and room temperature for 2 days, then precipitated in diisopropyl ether (3.4 L). The precipitate is collected by filtration, washed twice with diisopropyl ether (225 mL), then dried to give a white solid which is dissolved in 450 mL of THF. N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA, 31 mL, 176 mmol), then acetic anhydride (17 mL, 176 mmol) are successively added to this solution. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the solution is slowly poured into diisopropyl ether (3 mL) over a period of 30 minutes with stirring. After stirring for 1 hour, the precipitate is filtered off, washed twice with diisopropyl ether (200 mL) and then dried under vacuum at 30° C. to give a poly (γ-benzyl-L-glutamic acid) capped at one end by an acetyl group.
A solution of hydrobromic acid (HBr) at 33% in acetic acid (235 mL, 1.34 mol) is added dropwise to a solution of co-polyamino acid capped (72 g) in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, 335 mL) at 4° C. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 h30, then poured dropwise onto a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of diisopropyl ether and water with stirring (4 L). After stirring for 2 hours, 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 (340 mL), then with water (340 mL). The obtained solid is then solubilized in water (1.5 L) by adjusting the pH to 7 by adding a 10 N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, then a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. After solubilization, the solution is diluted to 20 g/L by adding water to obtain a final volume of 2.1 L. The solution is filtered through a 0.45 μm filter, then purified by ultrafiltration against a solution of NaCl 0.9%, then water until the conductimetry of the permeate is less than 50 μS/cm. The co-polyamino acid solution is then concentrated until a final volume of 1.8 L. The aqueous solution is then acidified by adding 37% hydrochloric acid solution until a pH of 2 is reached. After stirring for 4 hours, the precipitate obtained is filtered, washed with water (330 mL), then dried under vacuum at 30° C. to give a poly-L-glutamic acid of number-average molar weight (Mn) 3700 g/mol relative to a standard of polyoxyethylene (PEG).

Preparation of a glucagon solution at 1 mg/ml containing co-polyamino acid BB15 at various concentrations, a phosphate buffer (2 mM) and glycerol at pH 7.2.

The pH of the solution is adjusted to pH 7.2±0.1 by adding 1 N NaOH/HCl, then filtered through a membrane (0.22 μm). The details of the compositions are summarized in the table below.
A visual inspection is performed to determine whether a clear solution is obtained or not.
In comparison, the glucagon solution at neutral pH is not soluble above 0.2 mg/mL.
Monitoring of the physical stability of the compositions
The previously prepared compositions were transferred into cartridges (3 ml OMPI easy-to-fill—Ref P40B4100.3250) at a rate of 1 mL per cartridge and placed under static conditions at 37° C. and 4° C.
In order to detect the occurrence of visible particles, fibrils or turbidity, visual inspection of samples placed under static conditions is performed after 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 weeks at 37° C. and once a month for 4° C. conditions. The present inspection is carried out according to the recommendations of the European Pharmacopoeia (EP 2.9.20): the samples are subjected to a lighting of at least 2000 Lux and are observed facing a white background and a black background to comply with the recommendations of the European Pharmacopoeia. The composition is deemed unstable when the particles are visible in half of the samples. Stable means that at the time of inspection, at least half of the samples were devoid of particles, fibrils or turbidity.
Study of the physical stabilities of the previously prepared compositions described in the table below was carried out on volumes of 1 ml of composition in cartridges containing 3 ml (WIPO—ref: P40B4100.3250). In comparison, the glucagon solution at acidic pH of 2 mg/mL is stable for only 2 days at 37° C.
The compositions according to the invention containing nicotinamide and Treprostinil exhibit physical stability at 37° C. under static conditions in cartridge greater than three weeks at 37° C. and eight months at 4° C. The addition of co-polyamino acids thus enables the solubilization and stabilization of the glucagon at neutral pH.
The compositions according to the invention containing citrate, nicotinamide or a combination of both exhibit physical stability at 37° C. under static conditions in cartridge of at least two weeks at 37° C. The addition of co-polyamino acids makes it possible to solubilize and stabilize glucagon at neutral pH.
Results of visual observations on the mixture and ThT fibrillation measurements
The previously prepared compositions were aliquoted into a triplicate 96-well plate (3*150 μL) and placed under static conditions at 37° C. and 4° C.
Principle
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 with a characteristic fluorescence signature when it binds to amyloid-type fibrils (Naiki et al. (1989) Anal. BioChem. 177, 244-249; LeVine (1999) Methods. Enzymol. 309, 274-284).
This method makes it possible to monitor fibril formation at low concentrations of ThT in undiluted solutions. This monitoring is performed under accelerated stability conditions: with stirring and at 37° C.
Experimental conditions
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 40 μM.
A volume of 150 μL of the composition was introduced into a well of a 96-well plate after which 2.7 μL of concentrated solution of ThT was introduced. 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 (Xenius X C, SAFAS). The temperature is adjusted to 37° C., and lateral stirring 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.
Latency time is determined graphically, by calculating the time when the tangent on the linear growth phase intersects the x-axis.
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
This figure is a graphic representation of latency time determination (LT) by monitoring the fluorescence of Thioflavin T, on a curve showing the fluorescence value (in a.u. arbitrary units) and the time in minutes on the horizontal axis.
The latency time results obtained are shown in the table below.
In comparison, the glucagon solution at acidic pH at 2 mg/mL shows a fibrillation time of about 0.6 hours.
The composition CS0-4 containing nicotinamide produce latency times greater than 15 hours with a BB 15/glucagon molar ratio of 2.5 compared to a few minutes for the glucagon solution alone at acidic pH.
Part D: Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
D1: Protocol for measuring the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of glucagon solutions
Domestic pigs weighing 50 to 100 kg, previously catheterized in the jugular vein, are fasted 5.5 hours before the start of the experiment. The 44 μg/kg octreotide dose is administered subcutaneously at the flank, outside the area identified for injection of the test item, 40 minutes prior to administration of the glucagon formulations. In the hour before the injection of glucagon, 3 blood samples are collected to determine the basal level of glucose and glucagon.
The injection of glucagon formulations at a dose of 1μg/kg is carried out subcutaneously in the flank of the animal, in an identified area, using an insulin pen (Sanofi, JuniorStar®) equipped with a 31 G needle.
Blood samples are then collected every 5 minutes for 20 minutes, then two samples at 30 and 45 minutes, and finally every 30 minutes up to 2.5 hours. After each sample collection, the catheter is rinsed with a diluted heparin solution. A drop of blood is obtained to determine blood glucose using a glucometer.
Glucose pharmacodynamics curves expressed in adjusted basal blood glucose concentration are then plotted. The following pharmacodynamic parameters were then determined by non-compartmental analysis with Phoenix WinNonlin software:
Tonset_20mg/dL is commonly used to evaluate the onset of the hyperglycemic effect of glucagon formulations. AUC-BGO-30 min is commonly used to evaluate the early hyperglycemic effect of glucagon formulations.
The remaining blood is collected in a P800 tube and centrifuged to isolate plasma. Glucagon levels in the plasma samples are measured by the ELISA enzyme immunoassay method for each pig.
The pharmacokinetic curves expressed in basal level delta are then plotted.
The following pharmacokinetic parameters were then determined by non-compartmental analysis with Phoenix WinNonlin software:
Early T50% Cmax insulin and Tmax glucose are commonly used to evaluate the onset of insulin absorption. AUC-gluc0-15 min and AUC-gluc0-30 min are commonly used to evaluate early exposure to insulin in plasma. Early T50% Cmax insulin parameter is estimated by linear interpolation.
