Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to polymeric drug conjugates composed of biologically active agents attached to regular repeating linear co-polymers or branched copolymers by means of an enzymatically cleavable linker.
- the linker may contain one or more chemical bonds that are cleaved by enzymes, and, in some cases, may be further cleaved by changes in pH, ionic, or redox conditions.
- the polymeric drug conjugates of the present invention can be specifically designed to provide for optimal enzymatic approach and cleavage of the linker by modifying the co-polymer.
- the invented polymeric drug conjugates may be used to modify drug solubility, drug bioavailability, drug residence time, drug absorption characteristics, and/or drug bioactivity.
- Novel formulation technologies have been developed to improve the delivery of many pharmaceutical agents, primarily to overcome issues of aqueous solubility, drug toxicity, bioavailability, and patient compliance (e.g., increase the time period between drug administrations).
- Drug delivery techniques can increase the therapeutic range of a compound by decreasing toxicity, thereby broadening the indications and clinical use of important drugs.
- clinical indications of important pharmaceutical agents, particularly anti-cancer drugs are often dose-limited because of systemic toxicity.
- the toxicity of potentially important compounds can be significantly decreased by direct delivery of the active agent to specific tissues using implantable, bioresorbable polymers Langer, 1990).
- implantable polymer technologies for drug delivery have inherent limitations, such as, for example, the fact that drug release is a function of hydrolytic degradation of the associated polymer or of simple diffusion of the drug from the polymer matrix, and therefore, the release characteristics are not a function of the disease being treated but are actually independent of the disease.
- Polymer or lipid encapsulation systems do not have inherent properties which provide for site-specific (targeted) release of the encapsulated agent.
- polymer encapsulation systems are normally only suitable for water-soluble drugs, while liposomal formulations are restricted to those lipid soluble drugs which will partition in the liposomal bilayers without disruption of the bilayer integrity.
- Macromolecules in the form of synthetic, natural, or semi-synthetic (chemically modified natural macromolecules) polymers have been utilized as carriers for a variety of pharmaceutical agents (see for example, Pachence and Kohn, 1998).
- Various chemical spacer groups have been previously used to covalently couple active agents to the polymer to create a conjugate capable of controlled or sustained release of a drug within the body. These spacer groups provide biodegradable bonds that permit controlled drug release.
- the size and nature of the spacer groups, and the charge and structure of the polymer are important characteristics to consider in the design of a drug with controlled or sustained release characteristics. As a result, the release of a drug often depends on hydrolytic cleavage of the bond between the polymer and active agent. However, while such a method does provide sustained release, it does not inherently target the active agent to a specific tissue.
- polymeric drug conjugates can in general provide a method for controlled drug release or directed drug distribution in the body (and thereby improve the drug therapeutic index), the successful application of polymeric drug delivery systems depends to a great extent on: (1) the ability to reproducibly prepare well-defined polymer/drug conjugates;
- MMPs matrix metalloproteinases
- ECM ECM matrix metalloproteinases
- Thrombin-like alanine aminopeptidase and elastase-like enzymatic activity are known to be common in bacterial infections (Finlay and Cossart, 1997), and the amino acid cleavage sequences of such enzymes are well-documented.
- Kopecek, et al. (U.S. Patents No. 5,037,883 and 5,258,453) describe the use of polymeric carriers attached to drugs with a linking chain that is cleaved by intracellular enzymes. This method, however, is limited by the necessity of the polymeric carrier-linking chain-drug conjugate to be taken into the cell before enzymatic cleavage can occur. Particularly, these patents describe a polymer with a targeting moiety wherein degradation of the drug-carrier linkage occurs via intracellular lysosomal hydrolysis. The technology of Kopecek further relies on chemically linking drugs to preformed polymers.
- sulfated polyanionic polysaccharides such as heparin
- synthetic organic sulfated polymers such as polystyrene sulfonate, sulfated polyvinyl alcohol, or polyethylene sulfonate
- the tissue- targeting component of the Thorpe invention is the endothelial cell-binding binding portion of heparin and similar polymers.
- the active agents are randomly conjugated to pre-formed polymers. Furthermore, these polymers are not inherently water soluble, nor are they taught to extend drug residence time.
- the biologically releasable bonds linking the active agent to the polymer in Thorpe are generally hydrolyzable, and are not disease specific. Thorpe does not describe drug releasing conditions which would lead to tissue-localized high concentrations of the active agent.
- Other groups have described alternating co-polymers of PEG that result in water- soluble polymers for drug delivery.
- Zalipsky, et al. U.S. Patents No. 5,219,564 and 5,455,027) describe a linear preformed polymer of PEG and the amino acid lysine to yield functional pendant groups (such as the terminal carboxyl group of lysine) at regular intervals. However, these methods do not describe methods of providing drug attachment along the polymer backbone at regular intervals.
- the concept of enzymatically cleavable linking groups which would provide site-directed drug delivery is not disclosed.
