Popis: | Noncovalent binding of biopharmaceuticals to human serum albumin protects against enzymatic degradation and renal clearance. Herein, we investigated the effect of mono- or divalent small-molecule albumin binders for half-life extension of peptides. For proof-of-principle, the clinically relevant glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) was functionalized with diflunisal, indomethacin, or both. In vitro, all GLP-1 analogues had subnanomolar GLP-1 receptor potency. Surface plasmon resonance revealed that both small molecules were able to confer albumin affinity to GLP-1 and indicated that affinity is increased for divalent analogues. In lean mice, the divalent GLP-1 analogues were superior to monovalent analogues with respect to control of glucose homeostasis and suppression of food intake. Importantly, divalent GLP-1 analogues showed efficacy comparable to liraglutide, an antidiabetic GLP-1 analogue that carries a long-chain fatty acid. Finally, pharmacokinetic investigations of a divalent GLP-1 analogue demonstrated a promising gain in circulatory half-life and absorption time compared to its monovalent equivalent. |
