In vivo study of newly developed albumin-conjugated urate oxidase for gout treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exogenously providing engineered Uox with enhanced half-life is one of the important urate-lowering treatments for gout. The potential of PAT101, a recombinant human albumin (rHA)-conjugated variant, was evaluated and compared as a novel gout treatment through various in vivo studies with PAT101 and competing drugs.

Methods

PAT101 was produced by site-specific conjugation of rHA and Aspergillus flavus Uox (AfUox-rHA) through clickable non-natural amino acid (frTet) and Inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction. In vivo pharmacokinetics, efficacy tests and in vitro immunogenetic assay were performed after single or multiple doses of PAT101 and its competitors in BALB/c mice, transgenic (TG) mice, Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, and non-human primate (NHP).
