Bioconjug Chem. 2018 Aug 15;29(8):2829-2837. doi: 10.1021/acs.bioconjchem.8b00427. Epub 2018 Aug 3.

Abstract

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) exerts beneficial pharmacological effects in the treatment of various cardiovascular disorders, such as acute congestive heart failure (ADHF). However, the clinical use of ANP is limited to the continuous intravenous infusion owing to its short half-life (2.4 ± 0.7 min). In the present study, we conjugated the glyco-modified ANP with a monoclonal antibody (mAb) or an Fc via chemo-enzymatic glyco-engineering using EndoS D233Q/Q303L. The most potent derivative SG-ANP-Fc conjugate extended the half-life to 14.9 d and the duration of blood pressure lowering effect to over 28 d. This new biologic modality provides an opportunity to develop outpatient therapy after ADHF.
