The pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of DA-3030 (recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, rhG-CSF, recently manufactured by Dong-A research laboratory of Dong-A Pharmaceutical Company) were compared with reported data in the literature. After intravenous(i.v.) administration of DA-3030, at dose of 5, 10 and 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg to rats, some pharmacokinetic parameters, such as terminal half-lives(1.05, 1.19 and 1.83 hr, respectively) and clearance (84.0, 54.8 and 45.5 mι/hr/kg, repectively), were dose-dependent. This could be due to the saturable metabolism of DA-3030 in rats. Similar results were also reported. After subcutaneous(s.c.) and intramuscular(i.m.) administrations of DA-3030, 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg to rats, the extent of bioavailability(absolute bioavailability) were incomplete; the values were 23.3 and 18.2% after s.c. and i.m. injections, respectively, due to the degradation of DA-3030 by protease. After 7-consecutive day i.v. administrations of DA-3030, 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg/day, to rats, the plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters of DA-3030 were not significantly different from those in single administration. In mice and dogs at DA-3030 dose of 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, the plasma concentrations of DA-3030 were also declined rapidly with terminal half-lives of 1.31 and 1.15 hr, respectively. DA-3030 was highly concentrated in the kidney after i.v. administration of DA-3030, 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, to rats, and the results were similar to those obtained using radiolabelled rhG-CSF in the literature. Above data indicate that DA-3030 has similar properties to rhG-CSF manufactured by other companies in view of pharmacokinetics.

목 적 : 신생아 호중구 감소증이 합병된 신생아 패혈증 환아의 치료에 있어서 부가적으로 rhG-CSF(recombinant human granulocye colony-stimulating factor)를 투여함에 있어서 서로 다른 용량의 rhG-CSF를 투여함으로써 나타나는 신생아 패혈증에 합병된 호중구 감소증의 치료와 환아들의 생존율에 미치는 영향을 평가, 비교하려고 하였다(group I/II형 연구). 방 법: 1995년 10월부터 1996년까지 신생아 호중구 감소증이 합병된 신생아 패혈증 환아는 모두 10명으로 이들에게는 $10{\mu}g/kg$을 피하주사 하였고(rhG-CSF $10{\mu}g/kg$ 투여군), 1996년 10월부터 1997년 9 월까지는 신생아 호중구 감소증이 합병된 신생아 패혈증 환아는 모두 12명으로 이들에게는 rhG-CSF를 $5{\mu}g/kg$ 피하주사 하였다(rhG-CSF $5{\mu}g/kg$ 투여군). 각 군의 호중구 증가 정도와 임상적 결과를 서로 비교하였다. 결 과 : RhG-CSF $10{\mu}g/kg$ 투여군은 조발형 신생아 패혈증 1명과 지발형 신생아 패혈증 9명으로 이루어졌고, 모두에게 호중구 감소증이 합병되었다. rhG-CSF $5{\mu}g/kg$ 투여군은 조발형 신생아 패혈증 1명과 지발형 신생아 패혈증 11명이 대상이 되었고, 이들 모두 호중구 감소증이 합병되었다. 두 군간에 출생체중, 재태주령, 항생제 사용, 신생아 패혈증 시기에 기계적 환기요법 투여, 승압제로 dopamine 투여 또는 다른 지지적 요법의 투여에 있어서 차이가 없었다. rhG-CSF 투여 전의 순 호중구 수(ANC)는 rhG-CSF $10{\mu}g/kg$ 투여군이 $1,065{\pm}89$($mean{\pm}SEM$), $5{\mu}g/kg$ 투여군이 $1,053{\pm}131$로 차이가 없었다. 투여 후의 ANC의 증가는 rhG-CSF $10{\mu}g/kg$ 투여군과 $5{\mu}g/kg$ 투여군에서 각각 투여 후 24시간에 7배, 6배, 투여 후 48시간에 10배, 6배, 투여 후 72시간에 8배, 4배, 투여 후 120시간에 8배, 4배로 투여 전에 비하여 두 군 모두에서 각 시간에 의미 있는 증가를 보였다(repeated measure ANOVA와 Kruskall-Wallis test, within subjects effect). 그러나 두 군 간의 차이는 투여 후 48시간에 ANC 최고치에서만 의미 있는 차이를 보였다(student t-test와 Wilcoxon rank sum test). 단핵구 수도 이 기간 동안 의미 있게 증가하였으나 정상범위를 넘지는 않았다. rhG-CSF $10{\mu}g/kg$ 투여군에서 1명의 환아가 자의 퇴원하였고, 1명의 환아가 사망하여 신생아 패혈증에서 회복하여 문제없이 퇴원한 생존율은 자의 퇴원 환아를 제외한 9명 중 8명으로 88.9％였고, rhG-CSF $5{\mu}g/kg$ 투여 군은 12명 중 10명이 생존하여 생존율은 83.3%였다. 두 군 모두에서 특별한 독성이나 부작용은 관찰되지 않았다. 결 론 : RhG-CSF의 투여는 호중구 감소증이 합병된 극심한 신생아 패혈증 환아에서 호중구의 증가를 일으켰다. 두가지 투여 용량에 따르는 효과는 거의 동일하였으며, 단지 투여 후 48시간에 ANC 최고치에서만 의미 있는 차이가 있었다. 두 군의 생존율은 80%이상이었다. 이와 같은 호중구 감소증이 합병된 신생아 패혈증에서 rhG-CSF의 투여 효과는 골수 억압이나 호중구 소모에 의하여 호중구 감소증이 합병된 신생아 패혈증에서 시기적으로 적절히 투여하면 효과적인 치료를 이룰 수 있다는 것을 시사한다. 향후 rhG-CSF의 효능과 부작용에 대하여 무작위 대조실험이 필요시 된다.

The pharmacokinetics of CJ-50001 (recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, developed by R&D center of Cheil Jedang Corp.) were investigated in rats and dogs. The serum concentrations of CJ-50001 were measured by a sandwich enzyme immunoassay. After single intravenous (iv) administration of Cf-50001 to rats at a dose of 5 $\mu$g/kg, the mean terminal half-life and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) were 0.96 h and 124.497g . h/ml, respectively. After single subcutaneous (sc) administration at the same dose, maximum serum concentration was observed at about 2 hours after administration, and the mean terminal half-life, AUC and the bioavailability were 1.11 h,63.58$\mu$g . h/ml and 51.07%, respectively. In repeated dosing studies, CJ-50001 was administered iv and sc to rats at a daily dose of 5$\mu$g/kg for 7 days. The pharmacokinetic parameters, such as mean AUC and terminal half-life, were no significantly different from those of single administration. Following single iv and sc administration of CJ-50001 to dogs at a dose of 5 $\mu$g/kg, mean AUCs were much higher than those of rats, due to the decreased clearence (CL). After sc administration to dogs, maximum serum concentration was observed at 2~4 hours after administration and the bioavailability was 54.60%.

Administration of 3 type KGCs [recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF)] to mice with cyclophosphamide (CPA)-induced neutropenia for 4 consecutive days from the day after the CPA dosing (100 mg/kg) resulted in a dose dependent increase in the peripheral blood neutrophil count 6 hours after the final KGC injection. Within the KGC dose range of 0.1 to 40$\mu$g Per mouse Per day, there was a sigmoidal relationship between the logarithm of the dose and the peripheral blood neutrophil count (relative value for neutrophil count of the basal dose) in the treated mice. The sigmoidal relationship of test KGC preparations shows that there is a saturation point in terms of efficacy. Compared with e(fact of KGC-Orange, Green, and Blue, KGC-Orange recovers neutrophils more effectively than the others do.

Neutropenia is a major dose-limiting factor in cancer chemotherapy diminishing its usefulness and increase patient's susceptibility to infectious disease. Some recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factors(rhG-CSFs) are in use to reduce the risk of this serious side effect. In this study, we examined the pharmacological properties of DA-3030, a rhG-CSF expressed in E. coli. DA-3030 100 and $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, i. v., had no significant effect on the central nervous, gastrointestinal system in mice and cardiovascular system in rabbits, but it slightly inhibited the spontaneous motility of isolated nonpregnant uterus in rats. It also had no influence on excretion of urinary electrolytes. DA-3030 administered for successive 3 days increased the blood WBC count in zymosan air pouch inflammed rats and in normal rats. These results indicate that DA-3030 has little side effects in animals.

The pharmacokinetics of recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) following intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of HM1041l-lyo and HM10411-liq (lyophilized and liquid formulations of rhG-CSF, recently under development by Hanmi Pharmaceutical Company) were studied in rats, and compared with that of Filgrastim (conventional formulation of rhG-CSF on market). The plasma concentration of rhG-CSF was quantified using a specific ELISA. The pharmacokinetic parameters of rhG-CSF, after i.v., i.m. and s.c. administration of Filgrastim, HM1041l-lyo and HM1041l-liq to rats at a rhG-CSF dose of $10\;{\mu}g/kg$, were almost identical among the three formulations. No dose-dependency was observed in the pharmacokinetic parameters of rhG-CSF following i.v. administration in the dose range of $5{\sim}100\;{\mu}g/kg$. rhG-CSF, after i.v. administration of the three preparations at a dose of $10\;{\mu}g/kg$ to rats, was detected at low levels in all of the body tissues with highest tissue/plasma ratio of $0.46{\sim}0.51$ for the kidney at 30 min after the administration. The pharmacokinetics of rhG-CSF, after i.v. administration to mice at a dose of $10\;{\mu}g/kg$, were comparable among the three formulations. In conclusion, HM10411-lyo and HM10411-liq exhibited similar pharmacokinetics for rhG-CSF with Filgrastim regandless of animal species. Considering the fact that HM10411 series, contrary to Filgrastim, are proteins lacking a methionine residue, the methionine moiety in rhG-CSF molecule does not appear to influence the pharmacokinetics of the protein significantly.

인간 과립구 성장인자(hG-CSF)는 골수에서 생산되는 단백질로 호중구의 분화 및 생성을 촉진시키는 역할을 한다. 현재 재조합 hG-CSF는 암화학요법에 의한 호중구감소증, 골수이식시 호중구 감소증, 재생불량성 빈혈에 수반되는 호중구 감소증 등으로 적응증이 확대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 OmpA signal sequence를 삽입하여 인간 과립구 성장인자(hG-CSF)가 분비발현되도록 고안된 T7 promoter 에 의하여 발현되는 pYRCl 발현백터를 제조하였다. E. coli BL2l (pYRCl) 발현시 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양하는 경우 많은 양의 봉입체(aggregates)를 형성한다. 이에 비하여 $10\mu$M ucose를 포함하는 변형된 MBL배지에서 10 g/$\ell$IPTG를 유도물질로 7시간동안 $25^{\circ}C$에서 배양하였을 때 전체 periplasm단백질의 15%가 soluble rhG-CSF이었다. 또한, 유가식 배양방법을 사용하여 E. coli BL2l(pYRCl)에서 soluble rhG-CSF의 생산조건을 조사하였다. 유가식 배양에서 rhG-CSF의 발현량이 비증식속도를 $0.43 h^{-1}$ 에서 0.14 $h^{-1}$ 으로, 유도 배양시간을 최적화함으로써 rhG-CSF의 발현량이 4.4mg/$\ell$에서 24mg/$\ell$ 로 증가하였다.

조혈촉진 cytokine인 Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)는 골수세포를 자극하여 granulocyte로 증식, 분화시키는 기능을 가지며, 현재 아주 고가의 치료제로 사용되고 있다. 인간 G-CSF (hG-CSF)를 아직 시도되지 않은 누에 유래 세포주인 BM5 세포에서 발현시키고 생산 효율을 높이기 위해 hG-CSF cDNA를 변형하였다. hG-CSF의 cDNA의 endoplasmic reticulum (ER) signal sequence 부분을 누에의 소포체에서 분비되는 단백질인 prophenoloxidase (PPAE), protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)와 bombyxin (BX)에서 유래한 누에특이 ER signal sequence로 대체한 hG-CSF의 cDNA 함유 벡터를 구축하였다. 이들 벡터를 사용하여 형질전환한 BM5 세포의 배양액에 분비된 G-CSF 단백질을 western blot으로 분석하여 발현을 확인하였다. 누에특이 ER signal sequence들로 대체된 hG-CSF cDNA를 포함하는 벡터에 의한 hG-CSF 단백질 생산이 인간 G-CSF cDNA가 든 벡터에 의한 hG-CSF의 생산보다 월등히 효율적이었다. 또한, PPAE-signal sequence를 포함하는 hG-CSF 단백질은 배양배지에서 형질전환 4일 후에 최고에 달하였고, 7 일째까지 비슷한 양이 배지 내에서 검출되었다. 이상의 결과는 인간유래 유전자가 곤충세포 내에서 발현 될 때 인간유래 유전자 보다는 곤충 유전자발현 시스템에 맞게 변형했을 경우 더 효율적인 단백질 발현을 얻을 수 있음을 보여 준다.

Recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) regulates proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells and modulates function of the mature hematopoietic cells. In the previous study, we reported that hGM-CSF could be produced in transgenic rice cell suspension culture, termed rhGM-CSF. In the present study we examined the single and repeated dose toxicity of rice cells-derived hGM-CSF in SD rats. During single dose toxicity study for 7 days, there were no any toxic effects at any dose of from 10 to $1000{\mu}g/kg$. The lethal dose ($LD_{50}$) was not found in this range. Moreover, repeated dose toxicity study of 14-days period and at the doses of 50 and $200{\mu}g/kg$ (i. v.) of rhGM-CSF did not show any changes in food and water intake. There were also no significant changes in both body and organ weights between the control and the test groups. The hematological and blood biochemical parameters were statistically not different in all the groups. These results suggest that rhGM-CSF has no toxicity in SD rats.

Recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) is a glycoprotein and hematopoietic growth factors that regulates the proliferation of myeloid precursor cells and activates mature granulocytes and macrophages. In a previous study, we reported that hGM-CSF could be produced in transgenic rice cell suspension culture, termed rhGM-CSF. In the present study, we examined the repeated dose toxicity of rhGM-CSF in SD rats. The repeated dose toxicity study was performed at each dose of 50 and 200 ${\mu}g/kg$ subcutaneous administration of rhGM-CSF everyday for 28-days period. The results did not show any changes in food and water intake. There were also no significant changes in both body and organ weights between the control and the tested groups. The hematological and blood biochemical parameters were statistically not different in all groups. These results suggest that rhGM-CSF may show no repeated dose toxicity in SD rats under the conditions.
