Definitions

  • This application concerns pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration in human subjects.
  • this application concerns isotonic pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration.
  • the pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention are particularly stable, and have an advantageous shelf-life.
  • Peptides are an important segment of the pharmaceutical industry. Although there have been tremendous advances in production of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), production of peptide-based drug products is still a significant challenge. Challenges in connection with peptide formulation development are often over-looked or neglected.
  • API active pharmaceutical ingredient
  • peptides are defined as polypeptides of less than 50 amino residues and are often lacking organised tertiary or globular structure. Some do adopt secondary structures, although this tends to be limited, for example a single turn of an a-helix. While their smaller size makes them easier to deliver across biological barriers than larger proteins, their formulation can be problematic.
  • Some of the formulation challenges relating to peptides in particular include: chemical instability; adopting multiple conformers; their tendency to self-associate; and a complex physical instability, such as gel formation, amyloid formation and/or precipitation.
  • the most common challenge is chemical degradation of peptides and proteins, through degradation mechanisms such as deamidation and oxidation.
  • the amino acid sequence of a given peptide defines to what extent it is affected by deamidation and/or oxidation reactions.
  • Oxidation rates of specific residues correlate with the degree of solvent exposure.
  • peptides do not possess a globular structure that can sequester reactive groups, the side chains of nearly all of the residues in a peptide are fully solvent exposed, allowing maximal contact with reactive oxygen species.
  • Deamidation involves hydrolysis of the amide sidechain of amino acid residues, such as Asn and Gln. Further, the high degree of peptide chain flexibility leads to high rates of deamidation, compared to more complex proteins. It is however important to note that the nature of the amino acid following the deamidation, e.g. the one following Asn, also impacts deamidation rates.
  • a peptides lack of steric bulk and the ability to hydrogen bond to the Asn side chain may even speed up the reaction further.
  • Asn-Gly, Asn-Ala, Asn-Ser and Asn-Asp amino acid combinations display reaction rates that scientists have to factor in and test to ensure stable pharmaceutical compositions.
  • the greatest control over hydrolytic reactions, including deamidation, is exerted by stable and reliable pH and buffer systems. Such stable and reliable pH and buffer systems will however be affected by additional excipients added to the composition.
  • dosage forms For comfort during administration, many dosage forms must be “isotonic” with body fluids at the site of injection, e.g. parenteral, ophthalmic and nasal solutions. Pain and irritation at the site of administration may occur if the formulation is either hypertonic or hypotonic. Further isotonic compositions prevent osmotic shock at the injection site.
  • Each peptide's own tonicity affects the overall tonicity dependent on the total concentration of peptide in the isotonic parenteral pharmaceutical composition and to what extent the tonicity agents need to be supplied to the composition to achieve tonicity.
  • Tonicity is the ‘effective osmolality’ and is equal to the sum of the concentrations of the solutes, which have the capacity to exert an osmotic force across the membrane.
  • Biologic systems are compatible with solutions having similar osmotic pressures, i.e., an equivalent number of dissolved species, and this is thus desired for medicinal products, which are administered parenterally.
  • red blood cells, blood plasma and 0.9% sodium chloride solution contain approximately the same number of solute particles per unit volume and are termed iso-osmotic and isotonic. If solutions do not contain the same number of dissolved species, i.e., they contain more (hypertonic) or less (hypotonic), then it may be necessary to alter the composition of the solution to bring them into an acceptable range. There is a range of non-ionic and ionic tonicity agents.
  • the non-ionic ones may be selected from dextrose, propylene glycol, glyceryl, mannitol, such as D-mannitol, and sorbitol.
  • the ionic tonicity agents may include, alkali metals or earth metal halides, such as CaCl 2 , KBr, KCl, LiCI, NaI, NaBr, NaCl, or Na 2 SO 4 .
  • hypotonicity and hypertonicity can be addressed by specific selection of excipients and their amount in the formulation.
  • the formulation scientist may increase or decrease the concentration of some components of the formulation to achieve the best possible chemical or physical stability as well as in-use shelf life and other desired properties of medicinal products.
  • Excipients are added to parenteral formulations to enhance or maintain active ingredient solubility (solubilisers) and/or stability (buffers, antioxidants, chelating agents, cryo- and lyoprotectants). Excipients are in many instances important in parenteral formulations to assure safety (antimicrobial preservatives), minimise pain and irritation upon injection (tonicity agents), and control or prolong drug delivery (polymers). These are all examples of positive or synergistic interactions between excipients and medicinal products. However, any excipient added to the composition has the potential to produce negative effects such as loss of peptide solubility, activity, and/or chemical/physical stability, increased self-aggregation or fibrillation, which in turn may render the medicinal product unsafe for administration.
  • the formulation scientist has to investigate and optimise all components in a pharmaceutical composition, considering all interactions, including synergistic and antagonistic, between excipients and drugs in parenteral formulations.
  • the present invention provides a surprisingly stable pharmaceutical composition comprising selected peptides.
  • the present invention concerns pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration of selected peptides disclosed in WO2018104561 (e.g. compound 18 of WO2018104561), which describes the compounds and their uses in detail.
  • Example 4 of WO2018104561 provides test formulations of the compounds it discloses, however, it does not provide any parenteral pharmaceutical composition (e.g. none comprising a tonicity agent).

Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application is a U.S. National Phase of International Patent Application No. PCT/EP2020/066381 filed on 12 Jun. 2020, which claims priority to European patent application no. 19180233.9, filed on 14 Jun. 2019. The European application is expressly incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
  • INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE OF MATERIALS SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY
  • This application contains, as a separate part of the disclosure, a Sequence Listing in computer readable form (Filename: 57201_Seqlisting.txt; Size: 2,945 bytes; Created: Nov. 17, 2021), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
  • TECHNICAL FIELD
  • This application concerns pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration in human subjects. Thus, this application concerns isotonic pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration. The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention are particularly stable, and have an advantageous shelf-life.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Peptides are an important segment of the pharmaceutical industry. Although there have been tremendous advances in production of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), production of peptide-based drug products is still a significant challenge. Challenges in connection with peptide formulation development are often over-looked or neglected.
  • In general, peptides are defined as polypeptides of less than 50 amino residues and are often lacking organised tertiary or globular structure. Some do adopt secondary structures, although this tends to be limited, for example a single turn of an a-helix. While their smaller size makes them easier to deliver across biological barriers than larger proteins, their formulation can be problematic.
  • Some of the formulation challenges relating to peptides in particular include: chemical instability; adopting multiple conformers; their tendency to self-associate; and a complex physical instability, such as gel formation, amyloid formation and/or precipitation.
  • The most common challenge is chemical degradation of peptides and proteins, through degradation mechanisms such as deamidation and oxidation. The amino acid sequence of a given peptide defines to what extent it is affected by deamidation and/or oxidation reactions.
  • Oxidation rates of specific residues, such as Met residues, correlate with the degree of solvent exposure. As peptides do not possess a globular structure that can sequester reactive groups, the side chains of nearly all of the residues in a peptide are fully solvent exposed, allowing maximal contact with reactive oxygen species. Deamidation involves hydrolysis of the amide sidechain of amino acid residues, such as Asn and Gln. Further, the high degree of peptide chain flexibility leads to high rates of deamidation, compared to more complex proteins. It is however important to note that the nature of the amino acid following the deamidation, e.g. the one following Asn, also impacts deamidation rates. A peptides lack of steric bulk and the ability to hydrogen bond to the Asn side chain may even speed up the reaction further. Typically, Asn-Gly, Asn-Ala, Asn-Ser and Asn-Asp amino acid combinations display reaction rates that scientists have to factor in and test to ensure stable pharmaceutical compositions. The greatest control over hydrolytic reactions, including deamidation, is exerted by stable and reliable pH and buffer systems. Such stable and reliable pH and buffer systems will however be affected by additional excipients added to the composition.
  • For comfort during administration, many dosage forms must be “isotonic” with body fluids at the site of injection, e.g. parenteral, ophthalmic and nasal solutions. Pain and irritation at the site of administration may occur if the formulation is either hypertonic or hypotonic. Further isotonic compositions prevent osmotic shock at the injection site. Each peptide's own tonicity affects the overall tonicity dependent on the total concentration of peptide in the isotonic parenteral pharmaceutical composition and to what extent the tonicity agents need to be supplied to the composition to achieve tonicity. Tonicity is the ‘effective osmolality’ and is equal to the sum of the concentrations of the solutes, which have the capacity to exert an osmotic force across the membrane. Biologic systems are compatible with solutions having similar osmotic pressures, i.e., an equivalent number of dissolved species, and this is thus desired for medicinal products, which are administered parenterally. For example, red blood cells, blood plasma and 0.9% sodium chloride solution contain approximately the same number of solute particles per unit volume and are termed iso-osmotic and isotonic. If solutions do not contain the same number of dissolved species, i.e., they contain more (hypertonic) or less (hypotonic), then it may be necessary to alter the composition of the solution to bring them into an acceptable range. There is a range of non-ionic and ionic tonicity agents. The non-ionic ones may be selected from dextrose, propylene glycol, glyceryl, mannitol, such as D-mannitol, and sorbitol. The ionic tonicity agents may include, alkali metals or earth metal halides, such as CaCl2, KBr, KCl, LiCI, NaI, NaBr, NaCl, or Na2SO4.
  • Hypotonicity and hypertonicity can be addressed by specific selection of excipients and their amount in the formulation. For example, the formulation scientist may increase or decrease the concentration of some components of the formulation to achieve the best possible chemical or physical stability as well as in-use shelf life and other desired properties of medicinal products.
  • Excipients are added to parenteral formulations to enhance or maintain active ingredient solubility (solubilisers) and/or stability (buffers, antioxidants, chelating agents, cryo- and lyoprotectants). Excipients are in many instances important in parenteral formulations to assure safety (antimicrobial preservatives), minimise pain and irritation upon injection (tonicity agents), and control or prolong drug delivery (polymers). These are all examples of positive or synergistic interactions between excipients and medicinal products. However, any excipient added to the composition has the potential to produce negative effects such as loss of peptide solubility, activity, and/or chemical/physical stability, increased self-aggregation or fibrillation, which in turn may render the medicinal product unsafe for administration.
  • Thus, the formulation scientist has to investigate and optimise all components in a pharmaceutical composition, considering all interactions, including synergistic and antagonistic, between excipients and drugs in parenteral formulations. The present invention provides a surprisingly stable pharmaceutical composition comprising selected peptides.
  • The present invention concerns pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration of selected peptides disclosed in WO2018104561 (e.g. compound 18 of WO2018104561), which describes the compounds and their uses in detail. Example 4 of WO2018104561 provides test formulations of the compounds it discloses, however, it does not provide any parenteral pharmaceutical composition (e.g. none comprising a tonicity agent).
  • WO2016066818 discloses GLP-1 agonists, GLP-2 agonists and combinations thereof, and other GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonists and formulations comprising PBS buffer containing 3% mannitol and 0.6% L-His, which may be suitable for parenteral administration of the disclosed GLP1/2-dual agonists.
  • WO2013164484 discloses GLP-2 analogues, and independently lists a series of tonicity agents (i.e. isotonicity makers) and suitable pH buffering agents as well as pH ranges considered suitable for these compounds.
  • None of these documents discloses the surprisingly stable pharmaceutical composition suitable for parenteral administration according to the present invention.

Example 2 in WO2018104561 includes data on in vitro potency on the GLP-1 and GLP-2 receptor, Examples 3 and 4 concern the solubility and stability of the compound.
  • Synthesis of Dual Agonists
  • It is preferred to synthesise dual agonists of the invention by means of solid-phase or liquid-phase peptide synthesis methodology. In this context, reference may be made to WO 98/1 1125 and, among many others, Fields, G. B. et al., 2002, “Principles and practice of solid-phase peptide synthesis”. In: Synthetic Peptides (2nd Edition), and the Examples herein. In accordance with the present invention, a dual agonist of the invention may be synthesised or produced in a number of ways, including for example, a method which comprises:
  • (a) synthesising the dual agonist by means of solid-phase or liquid-phase peptide synthesis methodology and recovering the synthesised dual agonist thus obtained; or (b) expressing a precursor peptide sequence from a nucleic acid construct that encodes the precursor peptide, recovering the expression product, and modifying the precursor peptide to yield a compound of the invention.
  • The precursor peptide may be modified by introduction of one or more non-proteinogenic amino acids, e.g. Aib, Orn, Dap, or Dab, introduction of an albumin binding moiety or introduction of the appropriate terminal groups —OH or —NH2, etc.
  • Expression is typically performed from a nucleic acid encoding the precursor peptide, which may be performed in a cell or a cell-free expression system comprising such a nucleic acid.
  • Chemical Stability
  • The isotonic parenteral pharmaceutical compositions of this invention provide good or improved chemical stability.
  • The chemical stability at time point Y of GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist in any of the tested compositions disclosed herein can be expressed as the relative purity XY of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist and is determined by measuring the absolute purity X′ of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist and normalising it to the absolute purity X0 of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist at day zero (day 0), wherein said absolute purities are determined by HPLC at a given time point Y by identifying the purity of peak corresponding to the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist.
  • Thus, at day zero (day 0), the absolute purity X′ is the same as the absolute purity X0 and thus chemical stability of a GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist in the tested composition, expressed as the relative purity XY=100%, wherein Y=day 0.
  • Relative purity can be calculated the following way:
  • X Y = ( X / X 0 ) 1 0 0
  • wherein X is the relative purity at a given time point Y, X0 is the absolute purity on day 0 and X′ is the absolute purity on the given time point Y,
  • wherein the absolute purity X0 or X′ of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist in the tested composition are determined by HPLC, identifying the purity of peak corresponding to the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist.
  • It was surprisingly found, that the chemical stability of said one or more GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonists comprised in one or more parenteral pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, wherein said one or more tonicity agent is selected from salts and/or mannitol, have a stable and higher chemical stability compared to pharmaceutical compositions comprising other tonicity agents, such as sucrose, dextrose, glycerol, propylene glycol, and mannitol when in combination with the buffer L-histidine.
  • It was surprisingly found, that the chemical stability of said one or more GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonists comprised in one or more parenteral pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, wherein mannitol, such as D-mannitol, is selected as tonicity agent, have a stable and higher chemical stability compared to pharmaceutical compositions comprising other tonicity agents, such as sucrose, dextrose, glycerol, propylene glycol, and mannitol when in combination with the buffer L-histidine. It was further surprisingly found, that the stability of said GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist in pharmaceutical compositions comprising mannitol, such as D-mannitol, is so much retained that the shelf-life of such compositions at 5° C. can be expected to be 1 year or more, for example up to 2 years, even without the composition comprising a preservative. It was surprisingly found, that the chemical stability of said one or more GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonists comprised in one or more parenteral pharmaceutical compositions of this invention, comprising salt, such as NaCl or KCl as the tonicity agent, have a chemical stability which is at least as good as (i.e. comparable to) pharmaceutical compositions not comprising any tonicity agent(s) and a higher normalised stability than compositions comprising other tonicity agents, such as sucrose, dextrose and glycerol. It was further surprisingly found, that the stability of said GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist in pharmaceutical compositions comprising NaCl, is so much retained that the shelf-life of such compositions at 5° C. can be expected to be 1 year or more, for example up to 2 years, even without the composition comprising a preservative.
  • In some aspects, the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention have a shelf-life of at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 or 24 months or more. Preferably the shelf-life is at least about 12 months or more. More preferably the shelf-life is at least about 24 months or more.
  • Preferably the shelf-life is at least about 24 months or more at a storage temperature of about 5° C.
  • Stability
  • A peptide “retains its physical stability” or “has a good physical stability” in a pharmaceutical formulation if it shows no sign (or very little sign) of aggregation, precipitation and/or denaturation upon e.g. visual examination of colour and/or clarity, or as measured by UV light scattering, dynamic light scattering (DLS), circular dichroism, or by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and is considered to still retain its biological activity. SEC measures soluble oligomer formations which may or may not be a precursor for visible aggregates.
  • Various analytical techniques for measuring protein stability are available in the art and are reviewed in Peptide and Protein Drug Delivery, 247-301, Vincent Lee Ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, N.Y., Pubs. (1991) and Jones, A. Adv. Drug Delivery Rev. 10: 29-90 (1993), for example.
  • In the present invention, “stable” formulations include formulations in which at least 80%, more preferably at least 90%, more preferably at least 95%, more preferably at least 96%, more preferably at least 97%, more preferably at least 98%, and most preferably at least 99% of the GLP1-/GLP-2 dual agonist is active in the formulation after it has been stored at 2-8° C. for at least about 2 years.
  • In some aspects, pharmaceutical compositions of this invention are optimised to improve the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist's chemical stability, expressed as relative purity of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist to maintain the biological effect of the peptide, even after day 0 over an extended period, such as about 2 weeks, about 3 weeks, about 4 weeks, about one month or more.

  • Terms & Definitions
  • Compounds comprised in one or more isotonic pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are described either by general formulas, such as general formula A and/or general formula B or by their amino acid sequence, such as SEQ ID NO: 1. Specific forms, such as the —NH2 or —OH form of the Compound (CPD), comprising the same amino acid sequence are herein denominated in the following way (Table 3), exemplified by compounds comprising or consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1.
  • TABLE 3

  • Thus, the abbreviation CPD1 refers to any form of the compound comprising or consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, however CPD1OH refers to a compound comprising SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein said compound is in its —OH form.
  • The reference CPD1 as used herein and if not specified further refers to either CPD1OH or CPDNH2 and any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, this pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be a chloride salt, a salt of CPD1OH may also be described as e.g. Hy-H[Aib]EGSFTSELATILD[K([17-carboxy-heptadecanoyl]-isoGlu)]QAARDFIAWLIQHKITD-OH.[HCl].
  • When used herein the term “natural amino acid” is an amino acid (with the usual three letter codes and one letter codes in parenthesis) selected from the group consisting of: Glycine (Gly & G), proline (Pro & P), alanine (Ala & A), valine (Val & V), leucine (Leu & L), isoleucine (Ile & I), methionine (Met & M), cysteine (Cys & C), phenylalanine (Phe & F), tyrosine (Tyr & Y), tryptophan (Trp & W), histidine (His & H), lysine (Lys & K), arginine (Arg & R), glutamine (Gln & Q), asparagine (Asn & N), glutamic acid (Glu & E), aspartic acid (Asp & D), serine (Ser & S) and threonine (Thr & T). If anywhere in this invention reference is made to a GLP-1/2 GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist, agonist, analogue or GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonists according to this invention comprising or not comprising G, P, A, V, L, I, M, C, F, Y, H, K, R, Q, N, E, D, S or T, without specifying further, amino acids are meant. If not otherwise indicated amino acids indicated with a single letter code in CAPITAL letters indicate the L-isoform, if however, the amino acid is indicated with a lower case letter, this amino acid is used/applied as it's D-form, e.g. K (i.e. L-lysine), k (i.e. D-lysine).
  • The abbreviation “Hy-” in connection with the compounds disclosed herein refers to hydrogen. The abbreviation in chosen to be indicated as “Hy” to avoid the hydrogen to be confused with the Histidine (H) in the beginning of the sequence.
  • Throughout the present description and claims, the generally accepted three-letter codes for other “α-amino acids” are used, such as sarcosine (Sar), norleucine (Nle), α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), 2,3-diaminopropanoic acid (Dap), 2,4-diaminobutanoic acid (Dab) and 2,5-diaminopentanoic acid (ornithine; Orn). Such other α-amino acids may be shown in square brackets “[ ]” (e.g. “[Aib]”) when used in a general formula or sequence in the present specification, especially when the rest of the formula or sequence is shown using the single letter code.
  • Thus, the terms “dual GLP-1/2 agonist” or “dual GLP-1/2 peptide” or “GLP1/2 agonist” as used herein, refer to a peptide, which has activity on the GLP-1 receptor and the GLP-2 receptor and may be used interchangeably. A dual GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist comprising formula A or B may be a peptide of SEQ ID NO:1 or a peptide wherein one or more amino acids have been modified relative to SEQ ID NO: 1. Such agonists and/or peptides may further comprise one or more side chains, which have been covalently attached to the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist. The term “side chain” may also be referred to as a “substituent”. A GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist comprising such side chains may thus be “derivatised” GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist or “derivatised” GLP1/GLP-2 dual peptide or sometimes plainly a “GLP1/2 derivative”. Thus, a GLP1/2 derivative can be a GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist.
  • In a particular aspect, the side chain is capable of forming non-covalent aggregates with albumin and may thus also be referred to as “albumin binding moiety”, thereby promoting the circulation of the derivative with the blood stream, and also having the effect of protracting the time of action of the derivative, due to the fact that the aggregate of the dual GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist derivative and albumin is only slowly disintegrated to release the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Thus, the “substituent”, or “side chain”, is preferably referred to as an “albumin binding moiety”.
  • The dual GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist or GLP-1/2 derivative of the present invention exhibit good physical stability. The term “physical stability” of a dual GLP-1/2 agonist according to the invention, or a formulation thereof refers to the tendency of the dual GLP-1/2 agonist to not form biologically inactive and/or insoluble aggregates as a result of exposure to thermo-mechanical stresses and/or interaction with interfaces and surfaces that are destabilising, such as hydrophobic surfaces and interfaces. Physical stability of the dual GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist formulations may be evaluated by means of visual inspection of particles and coloration changes of the pharmaceutical composition. Physical stability may also be assessed by evaluation of the content of sub-visual particles in the formulation.
  • The dual GLP-1/2 agonist of the present invention exhibits good chemical stability. The term “chemical stability” of a dual GLP-1/2 agonist according to the invention or of a formulation thereof refers to the low degree of chemical changes in the dual GLP-1/2 agonist structure hence avoiding the formation of chemical degradation products with potentially less potency and/or potentially increased immunogenic properties compared to the parent (native) dual GLP-1/2 agonist structure. Various chemical degradation products can be formed depending on the type and nature of the parent dual GLP-1/2 agonist and the environment to which the dual GLP-1/2 agonist is exposed. Chemical degradation cannot be completely avoided and increasing amounts of chemical degradation products are often seen during storage and use of peptide formulations as well-known by the person skilled in the art. Most peptides are prone to deamidation, a process in which the side chain amide group in glutaminyl or asparaginyl residues is hydrolysed to form a free carboxylic acid. Other degradation pathways involve the formation of high molecular weight transformation products where two or more peptide molecules are covalently bound to each other through transamidation and/or disulfide interactions leading to formation of covalently bound dimer, oligomer and polymer degradation products (Stability of Protein Pharmaceuticals, Ahern. T. J. & Manning M. C., Plenum Press, New 25 York 1992). Oxidation (of for instance methionine residues) can be mentioned as another variant of chemical degradation. The chemical stability of the GLP1/GLP-2 dual agonist formulation can be evaluated by measuring the relative purity of the peptide at various time-points and thus the peptide's chemical degradation after exposure to different environmental conditions, such as time and temperature (the formation of degradation products can often be accelerated by for instance increasing the temperature from room temperature to 40° C. or by applying physical stressors, such as shaking). The level of purity of the peptide at each individual time point is determined by separation of the peptide peak and degradation products depending on molecule size and/or charge using various chromatography techniques (e.g. SEC-HPLC and/or RP-HPLC). The absolute amount of peptide in the main peak (the peptide peak) at time zero will be set to a relative purity of 100% and the following individual measurements at later time points will be normalised to this absolute amount and expressed as a percentage thereof.
  • The chemical stability at time point Y of GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist in any of the tested compositions disclosed herein can be expressed as the relative purity XY of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist and is determined by measuring the absolute purity X′ of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist and normalising it to the absolute purity X° of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist at day zero (day 0), wherein said absolute purities are determined by HPLC at a given time point Y by identifying the purity of peak corresponding to the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist.
  • Thus, at day zero (day 0), the absolute purity X′ is the same as the absolute purity X° and thus chemical stability of a GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist in the tested composition, expressed as the relative purity XY=100%, wherein Y=day 0.
  • Relative purity can be calculated the following way:
  • X Y = ( X / X 0 ) 1 0 0
  • wherein X is the relative purity at a given time point Y, X0 is the absolute purity on day 0 and X′ is the absolute purity on the given time point Y,
  • wherein the absolute purity X0 or X′ of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist in the tested composition are determined by HPLC, identifying the purity of peak corresponding to the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist.
  • When using terms such as “about” and “approximately” in relation to numerical values, the skilled person should immediately recognise that any effect or result, which may be associated with the given values can be obtained within a certain tolerance from the particular values. The term “about” as used herein thus means in reasonable vicinity of the stated numerical value, such as plus or minus 10%. When the term “about” is used about the chemical stability in this patent application, the reasonable vicinity will be below 2%, such as 0.5% or 0.75%, 1% or 1.5%.
  • The term “predominantly” as used herein in connection with the physical properties and/or form of a GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist means, that at least about 94% of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist is present in the formulation is in a particular form as described and no more than about 6% of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist is of another form.
  • The term “isotonic” as used herein, refers to the tonicity relative to body fluids at the site of injection, i.e. i.v. or s.c. Thus, the term “isotonic” is used to describe that the one or more pharmaceutical composition described herein has the same tonicity as body fluids, such as red blood cells and/or blood plasma. Compositions with an osmolality of about 300 mOsmol/kg, such as about 280-320 mOsmol/kg or about 290-320 mOsmol/kg are considered as isotonic.
  • Tonicity is the “effective osmolality” and is equal to the sum of the concentrations of the solutes, which have the capacity to exert an osmotic force across the membrane. Biologic systems are compatible with solutions having similar osmotic pressures, i.e., an equivalent number of dissolved species, and this is thus desired for medicinal products, which are administered parenterally.
  • Isotonicity is important for parenteral pharmaceutical compositions, because a “hypotonic” solution causes a cell to swell, whereas a “hypertonic” solution causes a cell to shrink. Although it is related to osmolality, tonicity also takes into consideration the ability of the solute to cross the cell membrane.
  • The term “tonicity agent”, “isotonicity giver” or “isotonic agents” as disclosed herein refers to agents added to one or more pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein, to achieve isotonicity relative to bodily fluids. A range of ionic and non-ionic tonicity agents are used in pharmaceutical compositions. The non-ionic tonicity agents may be selected from dextrose, propylene glycol, glyceryl, mannitol, such as D-mannitol and sorbitol. The ionic tonicity agents may include, alkali metals or earth metal halides, such as CaCl2, KBr, KCl, LiCl, NaI, NaBr, NaCl, Na2SO4.
  • “Ionic compounds” are two or more ions held together by attraction. An example of an ionic compound is table salt. It consists of positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions. They have high melting and boiling points and are hard or brittle. They can also be dissolved in water. The definition for a “non-ionic compound” is that the chemical bonds in this compound are non-ionic. They usually have chemical bonds that share electron density.
  • The term “solvent” as used herein is meant to be a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically distinct liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical fluid. Solvents are generally classified by the polarity, and considered either polar or non-polar, as indicated by the dielectric constant. Generally, solvents with dielectric constants greater than about 5 are considered “polar” and those with dielectric constants less than 5 are considered “non-polar”.
  • A “protic solvent” is herein considered a solvent that has a hydrogen atom bound to an oxygen (as in a hydroxyl group), a nitrogen (as in an amine group) or a fluorine (as in hydrogen fluoride). In general terms, any solvent that contains a labile H+ is called a protic solvent. The molecules of such solvents readily donate protons (H+) to reagents. Conversely, “aprotic solvents” cannot donate hydrogen. Water, such as milliQ water is thus herein considered a polar protic solvent.
  • The term “salts” as used herein refers to an ionic compound that can be formed by the neutralisation reaction of an acid and a base. Salts are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge). These component ions can be inorganic, such as chloride (Cl), or organic, such as acetate (CH3CO2−); and can be monatomic, such as fluoride (F), or polyatomic, such as sulfate (SO4 2−). The terms “pharmaceutically acceptable salt of CPD1” or “salt of CPD1” as used herein describe salts of the compound comprising SEQ ID NO: 1. “Hy-H[Aib]EGSFTSELATILD[K([17-carboxy-heptadecanoyl]-isoGlu)]QAARDFIAWLIQHKITD-OH. [acid]” as used herein identifies a salt of Hy-H[Aib]EGSFTSELATILD[K([17-carboxy-heptadecanoyl]-isoGlu)]QAARDFIAWLIQHKITD-OH, wherein [acid] refers to the acid, which in a neutralisation reaction forms the salt of said compound, e.g. Hy-H[Aib]EGSFTSELATILD[K([17-carboxy-heptadecanoyl]-isoGlu)]QAARDFIAWLIQHKITD-OH.[HCl] will thus refer to a chloride salt.
  • “Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” as used herein refers to salts that are safe and effective for use in mammals and that possess the desired biological activity. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of acidic or basic groups present in CPD1. For a review on pharmaceutically acceptable salts, see Berge et al., 66 J. Pharm. Sci. 1-19 (1977), incorporated herein by reference.

  • Physical Stability Evaluation of pH via ThT (ASSAY IVc)
  • Aggregation in the form of fibril formation was detected using the amyloid-specific dye Thioflavin T (ThT), which is frequently employed to demonstrate the presence of fibrils in solution (see, e.g., Groenning, M., J. Chem. Biol. 3(1) (2010), pp. 1-18; Groenning et al., J. Struct. Biol. 158 (2007) pp. 358-369; and Levine, H., III, Protein Sci. 2 (1993) pp. 404-410).
  • Samples were prepared in a total volume of 0.5 mL API (herein e.g. CPD1) stock solutions were prepared by dissolving API in demineralised water at ambient temperature (typically 25° C.) to achieve 5 and 25 mg/mL API, respectively. 8 working solutions were prepared: 1) 40 mM phosphate pH 6 and 80 μM ThT; 2) 40 mM phosphate pH 6.5 and 80 μM ThT; 3) 40 mM phosphate pH 7 and 80 μM ThT; 4) 40 mM phosphate pH 8 and 80 μM ThT; 5) 40 mM phosphate pH 6, 540 mM mannitol and 80 μM ThT; 6) 40 mM phosphate pH 6.5, 540 mM mannitol and 80 μM ThT; 7) 40 mM phosphate pH 7, 540 mM mannitol and 80 μM ThT; and 8) 40 mM phosphate pH 8, 540 mM mannitol and 80 μM ThT.

Data were collected at fixed intervals of 10 min, each preceded by 300 s of automixing (agitation), over a period of 96 hours at 40° C. Physical stability, expressed as lag-time of fibril formation (in hours), was defined as the intersection between two linear regressions representing the initial stable phase and the growth phase.
  • Method for Evaluating Content of Multimers via Analytical Ultra Centrifugation (AUC) (ASSAY V)
  • Sedimentation velocity experiments were carried out on a BeckmanCoulter Optima XL-I Analytical Ultracentrifuge using both interference and absorbance detection. Samples were filled in titanium cuvettes with optical pathlengths of 12 mm. The experiments were performed at 20° C. An angular velocity of 50 krpm was applied. Solvent density and viscosity were incrementally calculated according to the buffer composition, as given on the result plots. The solutes' partial specific volume was incrementally calculated from the amino acid/lipid composition (approximately 0.748 mL/g). Evaluation was carried out as global fitting to approximate solutions of the Lamm equation with Sedfit v. 15.01b. The frictional properties of the molecules in terms of the frictional ratio f=f0 were treated as floating parameters.
  • Samples analysed using AUC were prepared according to ASSAY II.

    EXAMPLES Example 1: Chemical Stability of Laboratory Scale Isotonic Compositions of this Invention Comprising CPD1
  • This example investigates the chemical stability of CPD1 expressed as the relative purity of the peptide peak (i.e. the main CPD1 peak) determined by HPLC at a given time point, and normalised to the absolute purity of the peptide peak (i.e. main CPD1 peak) at day zero (day 0 (D0)), which is set to 100% purity and thus chemical stability in % of said dual agonist.
  • CPD1 was produced according to ASSAY I, the pharmaceutical compositions (i.e. Formulations) where prepared and stored according to ASSAY II and the absolute CPD1 purity was measured by a HPLC, such as RP-HPLC according to ASSAY III at each time point (DX, wherein X is 0, 3, 7, 14 or 24 days). The chemical stability, i.e. the normalised CPD1 purity expressed in %, was determined according to the calculations described in ASSAY III. The Formulations, 1-24 comprise CPD1OH, which is comprised of the amino acid sequence of formula A. CPD1OH may be interchangeable with CPD1NH2.
  • The results show that formulations comprising mannitol, such as D-mannitol, as tonicity agent have a higher chemical stability (e.g. a high GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist purity, exemplified by CPD1) compared to all other tested formulations, including the formulation comprising no tonicity agent. Thus, mannitol, such as D-mannitol seems to be stabilising the chemical stability of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist. L-histidine, seems to counteract the stabilising effect of mannitol, such as D-mannitol to some extent. On the other hand, pH ranging from about 7.0 to about 8.0 does not seem affect the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist's chemical stability much, when the isotonic parenteral pharmaceutical composition comprises mannitol, such as D-mannitol. The chemical stability does also seem to be relatively stable when changing the phosphate buffer concentration from about 20 mM to about 100 mM.
  • The results further show, that pharmaceutical compositions comprising salts, such as sodium chloride or potassium chloride as tonicity agents, have a high chemical stability, which is comparable to the stability of formulations without tonicity agent, and which are much better than the chemical stability of the GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist in pharmaceutical compositions comprising a tonicity agent selected from sucrose, dextrose, glycerol and propylene glycol.
  • Table 10 further illustrates that sucrose, dextrose, glycerol and propylene glycol reduce chemical stability, and thus are not an optimal choice for isotonic pharmaceutical compositions with compounds comprising formula A and certainly not if they comprise CPD1.

Two major populations (s20;w=1.98 S and 2.78 S) with a comparable relative content of 43.0% and 55.2%, respectively, were detected, whereas trimers are absent. The slightly less abundant population with an apparent mass of 17 kDa represents putative tetrameric peptides and the more rapidly sedimenting population with a mean molar mass of 30 kDa contains putative heptamers or octamers. The broad shape of the second population indicates the presence of additional size- and conformation-variants, e.g. hexamers and nonamers. The remaining material is distributed among larger oligomers up to 10 S.
