Reactive aqueous two-phase systems for the production and purification of PEGylated proteins

Background: PEGylation, defined as the covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol, allows the synthesis of PEGylated therapeutic proteins with enhanced physicochemical properties. Traditional alkylating N-terminal PEGylation reactions on amine groups involve the use of modified linear mono-methoxy p...

Traditional alkylating N-terminal PEGylation reactions on amine groups involve the use of modified linear mono-methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) molecules looking for the synthesis of mono-PEGylated products.

All reactive systems were able to generate biphasic systems and to PEGylate RNase A. Two 5 kDa and two 20 kDa systems were selected based on the reaction yield percentage and the feasibility of purifying the mono-PEGylated RNase A from the di-PEGylated and native RNase A by contrasting the differences in their partition behaviors. The remnant biological activity was of 94% and of 100% for the mono-PEGylated RNase A purified from the 5 kDa and 20 kDa mPEG systems when compared to the mono-PEGylated conjugate obtained by standard procurement methods. Conclusions: This novel approach using reactive ATPS shows that it is feasible to simultaneously produce and purify PEGylated therapeutic proteins with conserved biological activity and presents another example where reactive ATPS can be successfully implemented.How to cite: Campos-García VR, Benavides J, González-Valdez J.
