Background
Angiogenesis or hyperplasia (angiogenesis) refers to the process by which blood vessels (such as capillaries and minute arteries and veins) existing in the body generate new blood vessels by budding or splitting.
Angiogenesis is beneficial and necessary in maintaining many of the normal physiological processes of the body such as tissue embryonic development, healing and repair of traumatic wounds, and the like; however, excessive angiogenesis or hyperplasia can also lead to pathological changes in the body. For example, in vivo, proliferation, diffusion, metastasis and recurrence of tumor, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), ocular fundus disease, Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), inflammatory response, autoimmune diseases, and the like are closely related to angiogenesis or hyperplasia.
The key to the proliferation and growth of blood vessels in vivo is the ability of the lined vascular endothelial cells to divide, proliferate and migrate directionally into the wall of the existing blood vessel. The most important and most potent vascular endothelial cell division-promoting or vascular proliferation substance known to date is vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF). VEGF, also known as vascular permeability factor (VRF), encodes a VEGF/VRF protein as reported by two research groups in 1989 and in the journal of American Science.
VEGF acts to promote the growth and migration of vascular endothelial cells, angiogenesis and increase vascular permeability by binding specifically to VEGF receptors (VEGF-R1, VEGF-R2) on vascular endothelial cells. The importance of VEGF and its receptor-mediated vascular proliferation has been well documented in studies with VEGF knockout mice: because mouse embryos die from the inhibition and abnormality of vascular proliferation when only one portion of the VEGF gene is knocked out, when only 11 to 12 days have elapsed.
VEGF and its receptor mediated angiogenesis and vascular infiltration promotion play a key role in the occurrence and pathological progression of blindness-induced fundus diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and the like. The age-related macular degeneration mostly occurs in more than 50 years old, the prevalence rate increases with the age, and the clinical symptoms of the disease are manifested as central hypopsia and rapid disease progression, and the disease is an important disease causing blindness of the elderly. Diabetic macular edema is a serious disease that endangers tens of millions of middle-aged salary vision today.
The main pathological manifestations of age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema are atrophic degeneration of macula and peripheral tissues, destruction of visual cells, drusen formation, and exudative macular degeneration in severe cases, accompanied by subretinal neovascularization, bleeding and exudation. In the past, laser therapy and photodynamic therapy are commonly adopted for blindness fundus diseases caused by age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema and the like, although the symptoms can be temporarily relieved, the recurrence rate is high, and the disease course cannot be prevented from progressing.
Since 2005, various VEGF inhibitors have been clinically used to treat exudative macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema with a more desirable therapeutic effect, and the conventional therapy has been recommended by the National Eye Institute (NEI).
To date, the drugs on the market for VEGF inhibitors approved by the FDA in the united states for the treatment of ocular fundus diseases associated with angiogenesis mainly include the following three major classes:
pegaptanib sodium injection (Pegaptanib, trade name Macugen), was co-developed by Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc, and Pfizer Inc, in 2004 and obtained us FDA approval for marketing at 12 months. The pegaptanib sodium is a single-stranded RNA analog modified by PEG, and the unique three-dimensional structure of the pegaptanib sodium enables the pegaptanib sodium to specifically bind to VEGF and inhibit the activity of the VEGF.
(II) an antibody or antibody derivative that antagonizes VEGF. Only Ranibizumab (Chinese trade name: Norethic, English trade name: Lucentis) developed by Genentech company which is currently approved by the US FDA to be marketed in the medicines is used for treating blindness-causing fundus diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. Ranibizumab is homologous to another antibody drug Bevacizumab (Bevacizumab, trade name Avastin) drug that has been previously developed by Genentech corporation for marketing indications: both are derived from murine mAb A4.6.1, with homology of the variable region above 99%. Bevacizumab is a full length antibody with a molecular weight of about 149kd, whereas ranibizumab is an Fab fragment with a molecular weight of about 48 kd. Like Avastin, ranibizumab can be combined with VEGF with high affinity, competitively block VEGF signal pathway, inhibit neovascularization and promote the absorption of the exudate in the macular region. Clinical studies initiated by Genentech showed that the visual acuity of 95% of "wet" AMD affected eyes stabilized or improved after 2 years of patient treatment with ranibizumab. Because of this excellent therapeutic effect, ranibizumab was approved by the FDA in the united states and marketed in 6 months 2006. Ranibizumab is further approved in the United states for treating a plurality of indications such as diabetic macular edema, macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion, choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathological myopia and the like, and is a mainstream medicament for treating fundus diseases related to angiogenesis such as AMD at present.
In china, ranibizumab was approved by the chinese drug administration in 2011 for the treatment of AMD.
(III) VEGF receptor-Fc fusion proteins. The medicine is formed by fusing a VEGF receptor extracellular domain and a human immunoglobulin-Fc segment, and a representative medicine is Aflibercept (trade name: Eylea) developed by American Regeneron company. The aflibercept is formed by fusing the 2 nd domain of the extracellular region of a VEGF-R1 receptor, the 3 rd domain of the extracellular region of a VEGF-R2 receptor and the Fc segment of human immunoglobulin IgG 1. The affinity of VEGF-Trap to VEGF is higher than the natural affinity of its receptor to ligand, and the binding of VEGF-R to VEGF in human body can be competitively inhibited. Aflibercept has been approved by the FDA in the united states since 2011 for the treatment of blindness-causing fundus diseases including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema, and is now overtaking ranibizumab in the approved range of clinical indications and in multiple marketing fields around the world.
Cupresscept (Conbercept) developed by Chengdu Kanghong pharmaceutical group GmbH in China is also a VEGF receptor-Fc fusion protein. The combretastatin cypress western-style product is very similar to aflibercept in medicine structure and is formed by fusing VEGF-R1 extramural 2-th domain, VEGF-R2 extramural 3-th and 4-th domains and Fc segment of human immunoglobulin IgG 1. Cupressus occidentalis is approved by China CFDA in 2013 to treat diseases such as senile fundus macular degeneration, and clinical phase III research is also being carried out in the United states at present.
In summary, VEGF inhibitor drugs that are currently approved worldwide for the treatment of fundus diseases such as AMD/DME all belong to the Fab fragment of VEGF mab or VEGF receptor-antibody Fc fusion protein. The monoclonal antibody-Fab fragment such as ranibizumab has the advantage of easy and rapid penetration to focus after fundus injection to exert drug effect due to small molecular weight; however, the half-life of the monoclonal antibody-Fab fragment in the eye is only 2-3 days, which is shorter than that of the intact antibody, thereby increasing the number of administrations and the economic burden on patients. VEGF receptor-Fc fusion protein drugs such as aflibercept and combretastatin have higher binding affinity for their ligands than their natural receptors (VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2); after fundus injection, the half-life period in eyes is 3-5 days, which is slightly longer than that of ranibizumab, so the injection has the advantages of high drug effect, low drug administration frequency and the like. However, aflibercept and combretastatin are also combined with other growth factors such as VEGF-B, VEGF-C, PLGF (central growth factor) so as to increase the potential risk of adverse drug reactions inconsistent with the treatment purpose (specifically blocking VEGF mediation).
Compared with Fab fragment or Fc fusion protein, the complete and full-length antibody such as Avastin has the advantages of both Fab fragment and Fc fragment, has the advantages of long half-life in vivo, low administration frequency and the like, and is clinically expected to be used for treating angiogenesis eye diseases such as AMD/DME and the like with lower dose or lower injection frequency. Both pre-clinical and clinical study data in recent years show that the full-length antibody, Avastin, is not really inferior to ranibizumab or aflibercept for its efficacy in the treatment of AMD/DME. Avastin, however, has not been approved by the FDA or other drug administration for the treatment of other indications than malignancies, such as ophthalmic indications; the ophthalmic use of Avastin in the treatment of AMD/DME is referred to as "off-label use" or "off-label use". There are many differences in drug formulations, dosages, manufacturing and testing release criteria, product packaging, etc. for the treatment of oncological indications and ophthalmic indications such as AMD/DME. Drugs for treating ophthalmic indications such as AMD/DME require fundus injection, the pH and osmotic pressure of the drug should be close to that of tears, and insoluble particulate matter should be controlled at very low amounts, except that sterility is strictly maintained; avastin for the treatment of tumors does not take into account these features and requirements of ophthalmic drugs in its manufacture and packaging. In addition, in order to reduce the cost of fundus injection, patients or doctors usually package large-package Avastin (4 ml or 20ml in each bottle) into small parts for sharing, and the patients often have the safety risk of infection or inflammation after receiving the packaged drugs for fundus injection.
The anti-angiogenesis drugs for treating AMD/DME are commercially available for tens of millions of patients, and the patients need to be repeatedly administrated for a plurality of times throughout the year, and the existing anti-angiogenesis ophthalmic drugs of ranibizumab, aflibercept and combaiccept do not meet the market demand; on the other hand, the three drugs currently on the market are not effective in all AMD/DME patients. Therefore, there is still a need to develop new or safer and more effective anti-angiogenesis ophthalmic drugs in clinic and on the market.

The term "monoclonal antibody (mab)" as used herein refers to an immunoglobulin derived from a pure line of cells, having the same structural and chemical properties, and being specific for a single antigenic determinant. Monoclonal antibodies differ from conventional polyclonal antibody preparations (typically having different antibodies directed against different determinants), each monoclonal antibody being directed against a single determinant on the antigen. In addition to their specificity, monoclonal antibodies are also advantageous in that they are obtained by hybridoma or recombinant engineered cell culture, and are not contaminated with other immunoglobulins. The modifier "monoclonal" indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method.
The term "humanized monoclonal antibody" as used herein is a monoclonal antibody in which the amino acid sequence of a murine monoclonal antibody is replaced, in whole or in large part, with the amino acid sequence of an adult immunoglobulin, except for the complementary-determining regions (CDRs), including the framework regions in the variable region, to minimize the immunogenicity of the murine monoclonal antibody by genetic engineering means.
The terms "antibody" and "immunoglobulin" as used herein are heterotetrameric proteins of about 150000 daltons having the same structural features, consisting of two identical light chains (L) and two identical heavy chains (H). Each light chain is linked to a heavy chain by one covalent disulfide bond, while the number of disulfide bonds varies between heavy chains of different immunoglobulin isotypes. Each heavy and light chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain has a variable domain (VH) at one end. Followed by a plurality of constant regions. Each light chain has a variable domain (VL) at one end and a constant domain at the other end; the constant region of the light chain is opposite the first constant region of the heavy chain, and the variable region of the light chain is opposite the variable region of the heavy chain. Particular amino acid residues form the interface between the variable regions of the light and heavy chains.
The term "variable" as used herein means that certain portions of the variable regions of an antibody differ in sequence, which results in the binding and specificity of each particular antibody for its particular antigen. However, the variability is not evenly distributed throughout the antibody variable region. It is concentrated in three segments in the light and heavy chain variable regions that become Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs) or hypervariable regions. The more conserved portions of the variable regions are called Framework Regions (FR). The variable regions of the heavy and light chains of an antibody each comprise four FR regions, which are in a substantially β -sheet configuration, connected by three CDRs which form a connecting loop, and in some cases may form part of a β -sheet structure. The CDRs in each chain are held together tightly by the FR regions and form the antigen binding site of the antibody with the CDRs of the other chain. Antibody constant regions are not directly involved in binding an antibody to an antigen, but they exhibit different effector functions, such as participation in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) of an antibody.
The invention provides an ophthalmic pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of the humanized antibody or the derivative thereof as described in the invention, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and other components, so that the biological preparation meets the special dosage specification and technical requirements of ophthalmic preparations.

In specific embodiments of the present invention, the specification of insoluble microparticles, osmotic pressure, pH and injection volume of the ophthalmic pharmaceutical composition is described. Generally, the concentration of the fusion protein in a preparation for clinical use is 0.01mg/mL to 100mg/mL, and the specific dose depends on the form of the preparation, clinical needs, and the like. Typically, intravitreal injections include administration of about 0.01mg to 10 mg; the maximum limit of the number of the particles in the ophthalmic injection of the invention is as follows: the number of particles with the diameter of more than 10 mu m in each preparation is less than 6000, and the number of particles with the diameter of more than 25 mu m in each preparation is less than 600; or the number of particles with the diameter of more than 10 mu m is less than 25 particles/ml, and the number of particles with the diameter of more than 25 mu m is less than 3 particles/ml. The osmolarity osmotic pressure of the ophthalmic drug composition of the invention should be isotonic with the tears, generally 285-310 mOsmol/kg; the pH value of the ophthalmic medicine composition is about 5.5-6.5 so as to be as close to the lacrimal fluid as possible; the ophthalmic medicine composition is administrated by adopting an intravitreal injection mode, the administration volume is required to be small, and the medicine concentration meets certain requirements.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" as used herein means that the antibodies and compositions do not produce allergic or other untoward reactions when properly administered to an animal or human. As used herein, a "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" should be compatible with, i.e., capable of being blended with, the antibody proteins of the present invention without substantially reducing the effectiveness of the pharmaceutical composition. Specific examples of some substances that may serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or components thereof include sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches, such as corn starch and potato starch; vegetable oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and cocoa butter; polyhydric alcohols such as propylene glycol, glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, and polyethylene glycol; alginic acid; emulsifiers, such as Tween; a stabilizer; an antioxidant; pyrogen-free sterile water for injection; a physiological saline solution; phosphate buffers, and the like.

The dosage, time and frequency of administration of the drug to be administered to a patient will be determined by the physician in the practice of the invention, depending on the type, age, weight and general condition of the patient, the mode of administration and the like.
In the following examples and the description of the drawings, the antibody or its derivative in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is represented by the symbol hPV19K for convenience of description. hPV19K monoclonal antibody is a tetramer consisting of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains, wherein hPV19K monoclonal antibody light chain has the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9, hPV19K monoclonal antibody heavy chain has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 10, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

EXAMPLE 2 development of pharmaceutical formulations of hPV19K monoclonal antibody for eye
In order to reduce the number of insoluble particles in an ophthalmic hPV19K monoclonal antibody injection and prevent non-specific inflammation of eyes, carriers such as saccharides (such as sucrose) and emulsifiers (such as polysorbate, tween 80 or tween 20) are added intentionally in the development of a hPV19K monoclonal antibody pharmaceutical preparation to reduce mutual aggregation of antibody macromolecules. 8 different formulas are preliminarily designed in the development of the pharmaceutical preparation, hPV19K monoclonal antibody is respectively dissolved in liquids of different formulas containing different concentrations of Tween and sucrose, and insoluble particles in each solution are detected after the solutions are respectively placed for 1 hour and 14 hours. FIG. 2 shows the results of the detection of insoluble particles in pharmaceutical preparations containing hPV19K mAbs with different formulations.
And then, respectively adjusting the sodium chloride content and the ratio of the buffer solution in the hPV19K monoclonal antibody drug preparation sample containing the formula 8 to obtain an injection preparation primary sample. The osmotic pressure of the injection preparation sample is detected to be 300 mOsmol/kg; the pH value is 5.5-6.5; the insoluble microparticles were: the number of particles with a diameter of >10 μm was 5.8 particles/ml and the number of particles with a diameter of >25 μm was 0.3 particles/ml. Thereafter, after the injection preparation sample was left at 25 ℃ for 6 months, the number of insoluble microparticles measured again was 312 particles/ml for those having a diameter of >10 μm and 11 particles/ml for those having a diameter of >25 μm.
On the basis of the research results, hPV19K monoclonal antibody injection which contains 8 different optimized formulas (code number: YF20161201-YF20161208) and is intended for fundus drug administration is further designed.

The height of Subretinal High Reflective Material (SHRM) in the OCT image was determined. The experiment was ended on day 33 (D33).
And (3) test results:
1) fluoroscopy (FFA)
All animals were examined by fundus photography and fluoroscopy before molding, and no obvious abnormality was observed in the results. Fundus photography and fluorography examination were performed after the model was made in D15, D24 and D31, and FIG. 9 is a photograph of fundus photography and middle and late stage fluorography of cynomolgus monkey before and after the administration of the hPV19K monoclonal antibody injection solution group, the ranibizumab injection solution group and the Corpaticep injection solution group. The damage caused by visible laser photocoagulation spots and photocoagulation is removed by photographing the fundus of the eyes of each group of animals, and no other abnormality is seen.
Meanwhile, reading grading and related measurement are carried out on fundus fluorography pictures of D15, D24 and D31 after modeling, and the 4-level facula number, the 4-level facula rate and the 4-level facula leakage area are calculated.
a.4-order spot number and 4-order spot improvement rate
No significant difference in the number of 4-stage spots was observed between groups 2 weeks after molding (D15) (p > 0.05). 7 days after administration (D24), the vehicle control group, the test article (hPV19K monoclonal antibody ophthalmic injection) low, medium and high dose groups, the 4-grade spot numbers (number) of the ranibizumab ophthalmic injection group and the combispu ophthalmic injection group are respectively 4.8 +/-2.8, 1.8 +/-2.1, 2.4 +/-2.4, 1.3 +/-2.7, 1.9 +/-2.3 and 0.8 +/-1.4, and the 4-grade spot improvement rates (%) are respectively 16.7 +/-38.9, 69.9 +/-33.4, 66.2 +/-38.4, 82.4 +/-36.69.1 +/-35.3 and 87.4 +/-25.5. 14 days after administration (D31), the vehicle control group, the test article (hPV19K monoclonal antibody ophthalmic injection) low, medium and high dose groups, the 4-grade spot numbers (number) of the ranibizumab ophthalmic injection group and the combisipu ophthalmic injection group are respectively 4.7 + -2.9, 1.8 + -2.1, 1.3 + -1.7, 1.0 + -2.2, 1.4 + -1.9 and 0.8 + -1.3, and the 4-grade spot improvement rates (%) are respectively 20.8 + -39.6, 69.9 + -33.4, 78.8 + -31.4, 85.9 + -28.8, 77.1 + -28.1 and 87.4 + -24.0. The 4-order spot improvement per eye for each group of animals is shown schematically in fig. 10.

The fluorescence leakage area per eye and improvement for each group of animals is shown in FIG. 11. The average reduction amount and improvement rate of fluorescence leakage per eye of the test article (hPV19K monoclonal antibody eye injection) high-dose group 7 days after administration are higher than those of (p >0.05) ranibizumab injection group and the test article (hPV19K monoclonal antibody eye injection) low-dose and medium-dose groups. 14 days after administration, the average decrease amount and improvement rate of fluorescence leakage per eye of the test article (hPV19K monoclonal antibody eye injection) high dose group are higher than those of (p >0.05) ranibizumab injection group, combaicipu monoclonal eye injection group and test article low and medium dose group.
2) Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
All animals were examined by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) prior to molding and the results showed no obvious abnormalities in all animals. After the model is manufactured, OCT examinations are performed on D15, D24, and D31, and the maximum height of abnormal high reflectance signal material (SHRM) under the photosensitive retina above the retinal pigment epithelium layer in the OCT image corresponding to the 4-order spot is determined from the D15 fluorescence angiography examination result.
The average height, reduction and improvement (mean standard deviation) of the SHRM per eye of each group of animals before dosing (2 weeks after molding, D15), 7 days (D24) and 14 days (D31) are shown in Table 9.
TABLE 9 average height per eye SHRM, average height reduction and improvement rate for each group of animals
2 weeks after molding (D15), the vehicle control group, the test product (hPV19K monoclonal antibody ophthalmic injection) low, medium and high dose groups, the average height per eye (mum) of SHRM of each group of animals in the ranibizumab injection group and the Corbescept ophthalmic injection group are 212.7 +/-39.4, 250.5 +/-70.6, 246.3 +/-78.9, 249.5 +/-53.5, 246.1 +/-69.5 and 241.9 +/-89.2 respectively, and no significant difference (p >0.05) exists among the groups.
The vehicle control SHRM was not significantly changed at 7 and 14 days after administration, and was significantly reduced in each of the other groups. 7 days after administration (D24), the test product (hPV19K monoclonal antibody eye injection) is in low, medium and high dose groups, and the average height of SHRM per eye of the ranibizumab injection group and the combaici cypress eye injection group is significantly lower than that of the vehicle control group (p < 0.05); the average height reduction of SHRM per eye and the improvement rate (%) of SHRM height of each group are significantly higher than those of the vehicle control group (p < 0.05).
At 14 days after administration (D31), the test article (hPV19K monoclonal antibody eye injection) is in low, medium and high dose groups, and the average height of SHRM per eye of the ranibizumab injection group and the combaici cypress eye injection group is significantly lower than that of the vehicle control group (p < 0.05); the average height reduction of SHRM per eye and the improvement rate (%) of SHRM height of each group are significantly higher than those of the vehicle control group (p < 0.05). The average height reduction amount and the improvement rate of the SHRM per eye of the test article (hPV19K monoclonal antibody eye injection) high dose group are slightly higher than (p >0.05) ranibizumab injection group, combaicipip eye injection group and test article low and medium dose group.
The comprehensive analysis of the fluorescence contrast examination and the optical coherence tomography results shows that the hPV19K monoclonal antibody eye injection in each dosage group can obviously inhibit the cynomolgus monkey choroidal neovascularization, reduce the number of 4-level light spots, and improve the 4-level light spot leakage area and the SHRM height. In addition, the curative effect of the hPV19K monoclonal antibody eye solution which is injected with 1/10 dose (0.05 mg/eye) in a single time for inhibiting the choroidal angiogenesis and leakage of the cynomolgus monkey is similar to the curative effect of a commercial reference product ranibizumab injected with 0.05 mg/eye or the curative effect of the commercial reference product ranibizumab injected with 0.05 mg/eye, and the ophthalmic solution shows excellent in-vivo activity.
