Description: APROTININ ANALOGUES FIELD OF INVENTION The present invention relates to aprotinin analogues, a method of producing the analogues and their use in the preparation of medicaments. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Aprotinin (also known as bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, BPTI) is a basic protein present in several bovine organs and tissues, such as the lymph nodes, pancreas, lungs, parotid gland, spleen and liver. It is a single-chain polypeptide of 58 amino acid residues with the following amino acid seguence Arg Pro Asp Phe Cys Leu Glu Pro Pro Tyr Thr Gly Pro Cys Lys Ala Arg lie lie Arg Tyr Phe Tyr Asn Ala Lys Ala Gly Leu Cys Gin Thr Phe Val Tyr Gly Gly Cys Arg Ala Lys Arg Asn Asn Phe Lys Ser Ala Glu Asp Cys Met Arg Thr Cys Gly Gly Ala The amino acid chain is cross-linked by three disulphide bridges formed between Cys(5) and Cys(55), Cys(14) and Cys(38) and Cys(30) and Cys(51), respectively. The isoelectric point of aprotinin is quite high (approximately pi 10.5) . This is mainly caused by a relatively high content of the positively charged amino acids lysine and arginine. The three-dimensional structure of the aprotinin molecule is very compact which makes it highly stable against denaturation at high temperatures, or by acids, alkalis or organic solvents, or against proteolytic degradation (cf. B. Kassell, Meth. Enzym. 19, 1970, pp. 844-852). Aprotinin is known to inhibit various serine proteases, including trypsin, chymotrypsin, plasmin and kallikrein, and is used therapeutically in the treatment of acute pancreatitis, various states of shock syndrome, hyperfibrinolytic haemorrhage and myocardial infarction (cf., for instance, J.E. Trapnell et al, Brit. J. Surer. 61. 1974, p. 177; J. McMichan et al. , Circulatory shock 9., 1982, p. 107; L.M. Auer et al., Acta Neurochir. 49, 1979, p. 207; G. Sher, Am. J. Obstet. Gvnecol. 129, 1977, p. 164; and B. Schneider, Artzneim.-Forsch. 26, 1976, p. 1606) . Administration of aprotinin in high doses significantly reduces blood loss in connection with cardiac surgery, including cardiopul onary bypass operations (cf., for instance, B.P. Bidstrup et al. , J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surα. 97, 1989, pp. 364-372; W. van Oeveren et al. , Ann. Thorac. Surα. 44. 1987, pp. 640-645). Certain aprotinin analogues are known, e.g. from US 4,595,674 disclosing aprotinin analogues and derivatives wherein Lys(15) is replaced with Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, lie, Met, Arg, L- -butyric acid, L-norvaline, L-norleucine, , dehydroalanine or L- homoserine. EP 238 993 discloses aprotinin analogues wherein Lys(15) is replaced with Arg, Val, lie, Leu, Phe, Gly, Ser, Trp, Tyr or Ala, and wherein Met(52) is furthermore replaced with Glu, Val, Leu, Thr or Ser. EP 307 592 discloses aprotinin analogues wherein one or more of the amino acids in position 15, 16, 17, 18, 34, 39 and 52 are replaced with another amino acid residue. WO 89/01968 discloses a method of producing aprotinin or aprotinin analogues in yeast and specifically discloses analogues lacking one or two amino acid residues at the N-terminal end and in which Lys(41) and/or Arg(42) is replaced with another amino acid residue, in particular Ser. EP 339 942 discloses aprotinin analogues wherein one or more of the amino acids in position 1, 2, 12-19, 38, 41 and 42 are deleted or replaced with another amino acid residue. The amino acid substitutions described in these references are mainly found in the protease-binding region of the aprotinin molecule with a view to changing the protease-inhibition profile of aprotinin except for the substitution of Me (52) according to EP 238 993 and the substitution of Lys(41) and/or Arg(42) according to WO 89/01968 which are carried out to facilitate the production of aprotinin in E___ coli and yeast, respectively. RATIONALE OF THE INVENTION It has previously been described that after intravenous injection of native aprotinin in animals or human volunteers, the plasma level of the inhibitor decreases rather quickly owing to distribution in the extracellular fluid and subseguently accumulation in the kidneys (I. Trautschold et al., in K. Heinkel and H. Schόn (Eds.): Pathoqenese. Diaαnostik, Klinik und Therapie der Erkrankungen des Exokrinen Pankreas, Schattauer, Stuttgart, 1964, p. 289; E. Habermann et al., Med. Welt £4 . (29), 1973, pp. 1163-1167; H. Fritz et al., Hoppe-Seylers Z. Physiol. Chem. 350, 1969, pp. 1541-1550; and H. Kaller et al., Eur. J. Drug Metab. Phar acokin. 2, 1978, pp. 79-85) . Following glomerulus filtration, aprotinin is almost quantitatively bound to the brush border membrane of the proximal tubulus cells. Aprotinin is then reabsorbed into micropinocytic vesicles and phagosomes followed by a very slow degradation in phagolysosomes. This type of transport has been suggested to be representative for peptides in general (M. Just and E. Habermann, Navnyn-Scmiedeberαs Arch. Pharmacol. 280, 1973, pp. 161-176; M. Just, Navnyn-Schmiedeberqs Arch. Pharmacol. 287, 1975, pp. 85-95) . Macroscopic and histopathological examination following administration of aprotinin reveal changes in the renal tissues of rats, rabbits and dogs after repeated injections of relatively high doses of aprotinin (Bayer, Trasylol, Inhibitor of proteinase; E. Glaser et al. in "Verhandlungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Innere Medizin, 78. Kongress", Berg ann, Mύnchen, 1972, pp. 1612-1614). The nephrotoxicity (i.a. appearing in the form of lesions) observed for aprotinin might be ascribable to the accumulation of aprotinin in the proximal tubulus cells of the kidneys. This nephrotoxicity makes aprotinin less suitable for clinical purposes, in particular those requiring administration of large doses of the inhibitor (such as cardiopulmonary bypass operations) . It would therefore be of considerable interest to produce aprotinin analogues with a reduced nephrotoxicity compared to native aprotinin. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an aprotinin analogue with reduced nephrotoxicity, wherein, to provide a reduced positive net charge, at least one positively charged amino acid residue outside the protease-binding site is removed or replaced with a neutral or negatively charged amino acid residue, and/or wherein at least one negatively charged amino acid residue is inserted or added, and/or wherein at least one neutral amino acid residue is replaced with a negatively charged amino acid residue, and/or wherein, to provide reduced stability, one or more amino acid residues are deleted, added or replaced with one or more other amino acid residues. In the present context, the term "reduced positive net charge" is understood to include analogues with a lower positive net charge than that of native aprotinin (which has a positive net charge of +6) as well as with no net charge or a negative net charge. It should be noted that the net charge of aprotinin may vary according to pH, and that the terms "positive net charge", "negative net charge", "positively charged" or "negatively charged" are used about the charge of the molecule at a neutral pH. The term "protease-binding site" is intended to indicate the amino acid residues which are important for protease inhibition, i.e. the amino acid residues which are in intimate contact with the protease by binding to amino acid residues at or close to the active site of the enzyme. These are currently understood to include (and are, in the present context defined as) the amino acid residues in position 12-18 and 34-39 (cf. H. Fritz and G. Wunderer, Artznei .-Forsch. 33(1) , 1983, p. 484). It is preferred to remove, insert or replace amino acid residues outside the protease-binding site only in order to avoid substantially changing the protease inhibition profile of the analogue of the invention compared to that of native aprotinin. It has surprisingly been found that aprotinin analogues with a reduced positive net charge have a significantly lower nephrotoxicity than native aprotinin. One reason for the lower nephrotoxicity may be that aprotinin analogues with a lower positive net charge have a reduced binding affinity for the surface of the proximal tubuli (brush border membrane) so that they are excreted to a large extent in the urine. This explanation is consistent with the findings of H. Fritz et al., op. cit. who report that chemically modified aprotinin derivatives (tetramaleoyl- and pentamaleoyl derivatives) which are less basic than native aprotinin do not bind to an isolated brush border fraction, but are excreted quantitatively in urine. On the other hand, the chemically modified aprotinin differs greatly from aprotinin and other native proteins in that it contains derivatives of amino acids which are not found in any naturally occurring macromolecules. One should therefore not discount the possibility that the lack of accumulation in the kidneys of the chemically modified derivatives may be ascribed to changed properties of the modified derivatives other than the reduced positive net charge. Other peptides have been found to bind to the brush border with less affinity and capacity than aprotinin in spite of containing positively charged amino acids and/or having a positive net charge. This indicates that the positive net charge of aprotinin is not the only explanation for the binding and accumulation of aprotinin in the proximal tubulus cells (M. Just et al. , 1st. S mp. Physiol., Prop. Pharmacol. Ration.: Kininoαenases, Schattauer, Stuttgart 1973, pp. 1163-1167). Furthermore, it has surprisingly been found that aprotinin analogues with reduced thermal stability do not accumulate in kidney tissue to the same extent as native aprotinin. As described above, the three-dimensional arrangement of aprotinin is very compact which is believed to make the inhibitor highly stable against denaturation and proteolytic degradation. Thus, the accumulation of aprotinin in the kidneys may also be a result of the extraordinary stability of the inhibitor. It is therefore possible that the substitution of one or more amino acid residues in the aprotinin molecule may result in the formation of aprotinin analogues with a reduced stability compared to the native molecule. In the present context, "reduced stability" may, for selection purposes, be expressed as reduced thermal stability of the analogue in aqueous solutions at a pH of about 4-10. The in vivo effect of such reduced stability may be to make the analogue more accessible to degradation, e.g. proteolytic degradation, resulting in faster elimination of the analogue from the proximal tubuli. It is currently believed that the reduced nephrotoxicity of the analogues of the invention may reside in a combination of a reduced positive net charge and a reduced stability of the molecule. A contributory cause of damage to the kidneys arising from the administration of native aprotinin may be that aprotinin accumulates on the glomerulus membranes due to affinity for negatively charged structures on the membrane surface. This may result in an enlarged pore size of the glomerulus and consequently an increased permeability to larger molecules, e.g. albumin, which in turn may lead to protein overloading of the kidneys. It is likely that the aprotinin analogue of the invention may have a less damaging effect on the pore size of the glomerulus membrane than native aprotinin due to a decreased affinity for negatively charged structures on that membran . Furthermore, it has been observed in some cases that administration of aprotinin leads to an anaphylactoid response. It has been hypothesized that this anaphylactoid response is related to the release of histamine which may have been provoked by the positive net charge of aprotinin. It is therefore envisaged that the anaphylactoid response presumed to be associated with administration of native aprotinin may be reduced or even eliminated by the administration of the aprotinin analogue of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the invention, any of the positively charged amino acid residues outside the protease-binding site might be replaced with either the negatively charged amino acid residues Glu or Asp or with any one of the neutral amino acid residues Ala, Cys, Phe, Gly, His, lie, Leu, Met, Asn, Pro, Glu, Ser, Thr, Val, Trp or Tyr. However, in order to avoid inactive analogues or analogues with an inappropriate three-dimensional structure arising from an undesired folding of the molecule, it is preferred to select substitutions which are identical to amino acid residues in corresponding positions, of other protease inhibitors or in domains of larger structures exhibiting a high degree of homology to native aprotinin. In other words, the selection of substituent amino acid residues is preferably based on an analysis of molecules which are homologous to aprotinin. It should be noted that, concomitantly with the amino acid substitution(s) directly contributing to a reduction in the positive net charge, one or more other amino acid substitutions may be carried out which do not in themselves result in a reduced positive net charge, but which may be required in order to produce an active analogue with an appropriate three-dimensional structure. Accordingly, in a more specific aspect, the present invention relates to an aprotinin analogue which has the general formula R 1 Asp Phe Cys Leu Glu Pro Pro R 2 Thr Gly Pro Cys Lys Ala Arg lie lie R 3 Tyr Phe Tyr R 4 Ala R 5 Ala Gly Leu Cys R 6 Thr Phe Val Tyr Gly Gly Cys Arg R 7 R 8 R 9 Asn R 10 Phe R 11 Ser Ala Glu Asp Cys Met R 2 Thr Cys Gly Gly Ala (I) wherein R 1 is a dipeptide selected from the group consisting of Arg-Pro, Glu-Pro, Asp-Pro, Ala-Pro, lie-Pro, Thr-Pro, His-Pro, Leu-Pro, Gly-Pro and Ser-Pro, Pro or a peptide bond, R 2 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Tyr, Glu, Asp, Ser, Thr, Ala and Val, R 3 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Arg, Glu, Asp, Leu, Ser, Ala, Gin and Thr, R 4 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Asn, Glu and Asp, R 5 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Lys, Glu, Asp, Thr, Val, Ala, Ser, Phe, Gin and Gly, R 6 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Gin, Glu, Asp, Val and Ala, R 7 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Ala, Asp, Glu and Gly, R 8 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Lys, Glu, Asp, Asn, Ser, Thr and Ala, R 9 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Arg, Glu, Asp, Ser, Asn, Leu, Gly, Gin, Met and Thr, R 10 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Asn, Glu and Asp, R 11 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Lys, Glu, Asp, Leu, Tyr, Ala, Val, Thr, Ser, Pro, His and lie, and R 12 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Arg, Glu, Asp, Gin, Ala, Asn, His, Gly, Ser and Thr, with the proviso that at least one of the amino acid residues R 1 -R 12 is different from the corresponding amino acid residue of native aprotinin. Apart from these internal substitutions in the aprotinin molecule, it may be possible to add a peptide containing one or more negatively charged amino acid residues (i.e. Glu or Asp) at the N- or C-terminal end of the aprotinin molecule in order to provide the requisite reduction in the positive net charge. It may further be possible, in order to provide a reduction in the stability of the molecule, to add one or more neutral amino acid residues to the N- or C-terminal end of the molecule. Such additions may be done either to the native aprotinin molecule or in addition to other modifications as indicated above. If it is desired to change the protease-inhibition properties of the aprotinin analogue apart from reducing its nephrotoxicity, it is possible additionally to modify the analogue in the protease-binding site. For instance, it has previously been demonstrated (cf. H.R. Wenzel and H. Tschesche, Anqew. Chem. Internat. Ed. 20, 1981, p. 295) that aprotinin(l- 58, Vall5) exhibits a relatively high selectivity for granulocyte elastase and an inhibitory effect on collagenase, aprotinin (1-58, Alal5) has a weak effect on elastase, and aprotinin (1-58, Glyl5) exhibits an outstanding antitrypsin activity and surprisingly also inhibits kallikrein. Furthermore, it may be possible to modify the inhibitory effect of aprotinin concomitantly with reducing the positive net charge by replacing one or more positively charged amino acids in the protease-binding site by neutral or negatively charged amino acid(s) . Thus, the present invention further relates to an aprotinin analogue which has the general formula II R 1 Asp Phe Cys Leu Glu Pro Pro R 2 Thr Gly Pro Cys R 13 R 14 R 15 R 16 R 17 R 3 Tyr phe Tyr R 4 Ala R 5 Ala Gly Leu Cys R 6 τhr phe R 18 Tyr R 19 Gly Cys R 20 R 7 R 8 R 9 Asn R 10 Phe R 11 Ser Ala Glu Asp Cys Met R 12 Thr Cys Gly Gly Ala (II) wherein R 1 -R 12 are as defined above, R 13 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Lys, Arg, Glu, Leu, Met, Tyr and Phe, R 14 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Ala and Gly, R 15 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Arg, Ala, Gly, Lys, Leu, Met, Phe, Tyr, lie and Asn, R 16 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of lie, Met, Leu, Phe, Thr and Glu, R 17 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of lie, Leu, Lys, Gin, Glu, Ser, Arg, Thr and Asn, R 18 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Val, Thr, Leu, Ser, Tyr, Gin, His, Pro, Phe, Asn, lie and Lys, R 19 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Gly, Thr and Ser, and R 20 is an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of Gin, Lys, Met, Asn, Leu, Gly and Glu, with the proviso that at least one of the amino acid residues R 1 -R 12 and at least one of the amino acid residues R 13 -R 20 are different from the corresponding amino acid residue of native aprotinin. Examples of currently favoured aprotinin analogues of the general formula (I) are an analogue wherein R 1 is Glu-Pro, R 5 is Glu, R 8 is Glu, R 11 is Glu, and R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 6 , R 7 , R 9 , R 10 and R 12 are as in the native aprotinin sequence; or wherein R 1 is Glu- Pro, R 9 is Glu, R 11 is Glu, and R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 10 and R 12 are as in the native aprotinin sequence; or wherein R 9 is Glu, R 11 is Glu, and R , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 0 and R 12 are as in the native aprotinin sequence; or wherein R 2 is Ser, R 4 is As R 5 is Thr, R 6 is Glu, R 8 is Asn, R 12 is Glu, and R 1 , R 3 , R 7 , R R 10 , and R 11 are as in the native aprotinin sequence; or where R 2 is Ser, R 3 is Leu, R 7 is Gly, R 8 is Asn, R 9 is Gly, R 10 is Gi R 11 is Tyr, and R 1 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , and R 12 are as in the nati aprotinin sequence; or wherein R 1 is a peptide bond, R 9 is Se R 11 is Glu, and R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 10 and R 12 are as in t native aprotinin sequence; or wherein R 1 is a peptide bond, is Ser, R 11 is Ala, and R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 10 and R 12 a as in the native aprotinin sequence; or wherein R 1 is a pepti bond, R 2 is Ser, R 4 is Asp, R 5 is Thr, R 6 is Glu, R 8 is Asn, R is Glu, and R 3 , R 7 , R 9 , R 10 and R 11 are as in the native aprotin sequence; or wherein R 1 is a peptide bond, R 4 is Asp, R 5 is Th R 6 is Glu, R 12 is Glu, and R 2 , R 3 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 and R 11 are as i the native aprotinin sequence; or wherein R 1 is a peptide bond R 2 is Ser, R 7 is Gly, R 8 is Asn, R 9 is Gly, R 12 is Glu, and R 3 R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 10 and R 11 are as in the native aprotinin sequence or wherein R is a peptide bond, R 9 is Ser, R 12 is Glu, and R 2 R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 10 and R 11 are as in the native aprotini sequence; or wherein R 1 is a peptide bond, R 9 is Glu, R 12 i Glu, and R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 10 and R 11 are as in th native aprotinin sequence; or wherein R 1 is a peptide bond, is Glu, R 9 is Ser, R 12 is Glu, and R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 10 an R 11 are as in the native aprotinin sequence; or wherein R is peptide bond, R 5 is Glu, R 9 is Glu, R 12 is Glu, and R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 6 R 7 , R 8 , R 10 and R 11 are as in the native aprotinin sequence. In another aspect, the invention relates to a DNA construc encoding an aprotinin analogue according to the invention. Th DNA construct of the invention may be prepared synthetically b established standard methods, e.g. the phosphoamidite metho described by S.L. Beaucage and M.H. Caruthers, Tetrahedro Letters 22, 1981, pp. 1859-1869, or the method described b Matthes et al., EMBO Journal 3, 1984, pp. 801-805. According t the phosphoamidite method, oligonucleotides are synthesized e.g. in an automatic DNA synthesizer, purified, annealed ligated and cloned in suitable vectors. Alternatively, it is possible to use genomic or cDNA coding fo native aprotinin (e.g. obtained by screening a genomic or cDN library using synthetic oligonucleotide probes) and modified a one or more sites corresponding to the site(s) at which it is desired to introduce amino acid substitutions, e.g. by site- directed mutagenesis using synthetic oligonucleotides encodin the desired amino acid sequence for homologous recombination i accordance with well-known procedures. In a still further aspect, the invention relates to recombinant expression vector which comprises a DNA construc of the invention. The recombinant expression vector may be an vector which may conveniently be subjected to recombinant DN procedures, and the choice of vector will often depend on th host cell into which it is to be introduced. Thus, the vecto may be an autonomously replicating vector, i.e. a vector whic exists as an extrachromosomal entity, the replication of whic is independent of chromosomal replication, e.g. a plasmid. Alternatively, the vector may be one which, when introduce into a host cell, is integrated into the host cell genome an replicated together with the chromosome(ε) into which it ha been integrated. In the vector, the DNA sequence encoding the aprotinin analogu of the invention should be operably connected to a suitabl promoter sequence. The promoter may be any DNA sequence whic shows transcriptional activity in the host cell of choice an may be derived from genes encoding proteins either homologou or heterologous to the host cell. Examples of suitabl promoters for directing the transcription of the DNA encodin the aprotinin analogue of the invention in mammalian cells ar the SV 40 promoter (Subramani et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 1 , 1981, pp. 854-864) , the MT-1 (metallothionein gene) promote (Palmiter et al., Science 222, 1983, pp. 809-814) or th adenovirus 2 major late promoter. Suitable promoters for use i yeast host cells include promoters from yeast glycolytic gene (Hitzeman et al., J. Biol. Chem. 255, 1980, pp. 12073-12080; Alber and Kawasaki, J. Mol. Appl. Gen. 1 , 1982, pp. 419-434) o alcohol dehydrogenase genes (Young et al., in Geneti Engineering of Microorganisms for Chemicals (Hollaender et al, eds.), Plenum Press, New York, 1982), or the TPIl (US 4, 599, 5311) or ADH2-4C (Russell et al., Nature 304, 1983, pp. 652-654) promoters. Suitable promoters for use in filamentous fungus host cells are, for instance, the ADH3 promoter (McKnight e al., The EMBO J. 1, 1985, pp. 2093-2099) or the tpiA promoter. The DNA sequence encoding the aprotinin analogue of the 0 invention may also be operably connected to a suitable terminator, such as the human growth hormone terminator (Palmiter et al., op. cit. ) or (for fungal hosts) the TPIl (Alber and Kawasaki, op. cit. ) or ADH3 (McKnight et al., op. cit.) promoters. The vector may further comprise elements such as polyadenylation signals (e.g. from SV 40 or the adenovirus 5 Elb region) , transcriptional enhancer sequences (e.g. the SV 40 enhancer) and translational enhancer sequences (e.g. the ones encoding adenovirus VA RNAs) . The recombinant expression vector of the invention may further comprise a DNA sequence enabling the vector to replicate in the host cell in question. An examples of such a sequence (when the host cell is a mammalian cell) is the SV 40 origin of replication, or (when the host cell is a yeast cell) the yeast plasmid 2μ replication genes REP 1-3 and origin of replication. The vector may also comprise a selectable marker, e.g. a gene the product of which complements a defect in the host cell, such as the gene coding for dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) or one which confers resistance to a drug, e.g. neomycin, hygromycin or methotrexate, or the Schizosaccharomyces pombe TPI gene (described by P.R. Russell, Gene 40, 1985, pp. 125- 130. The procedures used to ligate the DNA sequences coding for the aprotinin analogue of the invention, the promoter and the terminator, respectively, and to insert them into suitable vectors containing the information necessary for replication, are well known to persons skilled in the art (cf., fo instance, Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laborator Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, New York, 1989). 5 The host cell into which the expression vector of the inventio is introduced may be any cell which is capable of producing th aprotinin analogue of the invention and is preferably eukaryotic cell, such as a mammalian, yeast or fungal cell. The yeast organism used as the host cell according to th 10 invention may be any yeast organism which, on cultivation, produces large quantities of the aprotinin analogue of th invention. Examples of suitable yeast organisms are strains o the yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyce kluyveri, Schizosaccharomyces pombe or Saccharomyces uvarum. 15 The transformation of yest cells may for instance be effecte by protoplast formation followed by transformation in a manne known per se. Examples of suitable mammalian cell lines are the COS (ATCC CR 1650) , BHK (ATCC CRL 1632, ATCC CCL 10) or CHO (ATCC CCL 61) 20 cell lines. Methods of transfecting mammalian cells an expressing DNA sequences introduced in the cells are describe in e.g. Kaufman and Sharp, J. Mol. Biol. 159 , 1982, pp. 601 621; Southern and Berg, J. Mol. Apiol. Genet. 1 , 1982, pp. 327 341; Loyter et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79 , 1982, pp 25 422-426; Wigler et al., Cell 14, 1978, p. 725; Corsaro an Pearson, Somatic Cell Genetics 2, 1981, p. 603, Graham and va der Eb, Virology 52, 1973, p. 456; and Neumann et al., EMBO J 1, 1982, pp. 841-845. Alternatively, fungal cells may be used as host cells of th 30 invention. Examples of suitable fungal cells are cells o filamentous fungi, e.g. Aspergillus spp. or Neurospora spp., i particular strains of Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus niger The use of Aspergillus spp. for the expression of proteins described in, e.g., EP 272 277. The present invention further relates to a method of produci an aprotinin analogue according to the invention, the meth comprising culturing a cell as described above under conditio conducive to the expression of the aprotinin analogue a recovering the resulting analogue from the culture. The medium used to cultivate the cells may be any conventiona medium suitable for growing mammalian cells or yeast organisms depending on the choice of host cell. The aprotinin analogu will be secreted by the host cells to the growth medium and ma be recovered therefrom by conventional procedures includin separating the cells from the medium by centrifugation o filtration, precipitating the proteinaceous components of th supernatant or filtrate by means of a salt, e.g. ammoniu sulfate, purification by a variety of chromatographi procedures, e.g. ion exchange chromatography or affinit chromatography, or the like. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutica composition comprising an aprotinin analogue of the inventio together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier o excipient. In the composition of the invention, the aprotini analogue may be formulated by any of the established methods o formulating pharmaceutical compositions, e.g. as described i Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1985. The composition ma typically be in a form suited for systemic injection o infusion and may, as such, be formulated with sterile water o an isotonic saline or glucose solution. In a yet further aspect, the present invention relates to th use of an aprotinin analogue of the invention for th manufacture of a medicament with reduced nephrotoxicit compared to native aprotinin and/or a medicament which, o administration, gives rise to a reduced incidence o anaphylactoid reactions compared to those experienced wit native aprotinin. As noted above, it has been found that native aprotini administered in doses approximating clinical doses exhibits deleterious effect on the kidneys. This effect may arise fro the extraordinarily high stability and relatively high positiv net charge of the aprotinin molecule. The aprotinin analogue o the invention is therefore contemplated to be advantageous t use for the therapeutic applications suggested for nativ aprotinin, in particular those which necessitate the use o large aprotinin doses. Therapeutic applications for which th use of the aprotinin analogue of the invention is indicated a a result of its inhibition of human serine proteases, e.g. trypsin, plasmin, kallikrein, elastase and cathepsin G, includ (but are not limited to) acute pancreatitis, inflammation, thrombocytopenia , preservation of platelet function, orga preservation, wound healing, shock (including shock lung) an conditions involving hyperfibrinolytic haemorrhage. A high dos of aprotinin is indicated during and after cardiopulmonar bypass operations; the lower nephrotoxicity of the presen aprotinin analogue is therefore of particular interest for thi application and possibly in other surgery involving (major) loss of blood, as is the possibly reduced risk of causin anaphylactoid response due to the lower positive net charge o the analogue. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention is further described in the following example with reference to the appended drawings, wherein Pig. 1 shows the construction of a synthetic aprotinin gen from oligonucleotide sequences; Fig. 2 shows the construction of plasmid pKFN-1503; Pig. 3 is a graph showing the inhibitory activity in urine an kidneys after administration of aprotinin analogues wit different net charges and thermal stability; Pig. 4 shows the inhibitory activity in urine 3 hours a administration of aprotinin analogues with different charges; Pig. 5 shows the inhibitory activity in kidneys 3 hours af administration of aprotinin analogues with a different ther stability; and Fig. 6 shows the accumulation of inhibitory activity in kidn after administration of aprotinin analogues with differ thermal stability. The accumulation index is calculated as inhibitory activity after 3 hours divided by the inhibit activity after 1 hour.

Example 15 Toxicological Screening of Aprotinin Analogues by Single-Dose Intravenous Administration to Wistar Rats Material The following aprotinin analogues with a reduced positive net charge and thermal stability compared to recombinant aprotinin (1-58) were selected for toxicological screening: KFN-1512, KFN-1514, KFN-1544, KFN-1545, KFN-1547, KFN-1660, and KFN-1661 Their main characteristics as seen from a toxicological poin of view, are shown in Table 1. Data for recombinant aprotini are shown for comparison. The denaturation temperature is show as an indication of biological stability. Table 1. General Information Design On Day 1 of the screening of each analogue, groups of 2 male and 2 female rats received 33, 100, 300, or 900 mg analogue/kg body weight. Two similarly constituted control groups received physiological saline or physiological saline acidified with hydrochloric acid to an approximate pH 4.5. The latter solution served as vehicle. The dose volume was 10 ml/kg body weight in all cases. The rats were observed for 7 days and killed on Day 8. At autopsy the kidneys were weighed and prepared for histopathology. Response variables are shown in the heading of Table 2. Results Results from individual screenings are summarized in Table Data for recombinant aprotinin are included for comparis (dosage: 11-300 mg/kg) . KFN-1512 could not be dissolved required for administration of the top dose (900 mg/kg) . A single animal died at 900 mg KFN-1545/kg. Apart from this fatalities were seen. No histopathological kidney change was seen aft administration (300 mg/kg body weight) of KFN-1512, KFN-154 KFN-1545, and KFN-1660. Furthermore, no histopathologic kidney change was seen after administration of 900 mg/kg bo weight of KFN-1514, KFN-1547, and KFN-1661. Thus all analogu had no-toxic-effect levels concerning histopathological kidn change of 300 mg/kg or above, as compared to 11 mg/kg f aprotinin. With respect to the other response variables the analogue equaled or were superior to aprotinin. Table 2 No-toxic-effect levels by response variable, mg/kg 10 1. ? Top Dose 300 mg/kg ? Low Dose 31 mg/kg Conclusion The toxicity profile of aprotinin analogues assessed by single dose intravenous screening in Wistar rats was improved to varying degree as compared to the toxicity profile o aprotinin. All aprotinin analogues had no-nephrotoxic-effee levels of 300 mg/kg or more. KFN-1514 had an overall no-toxic effect level of 900 mg/kg, equaling the top dose. Example 16 Elimination and Distribution of Recombinant Aprotinin and Aprotinin Analogues Materials Recombinant authentic aprotinin and the analogues produced according to Examples 1-7 were dissolved in 0.9% NaCl in order to obtain a dose volumen of 1 μl/g rat. The concentrations of the injection solutions were controls analyzed by methods given in the method section. Methods Female Wistar rats, weighing 200-230 g were used. Aprotinin and analogues were tested in two different models, 1) anaesthetized and 2) unanaesthetized rats. Anaesthetized rats The rats were anaesthetized by in ~ raperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium. The carotid artery and the jugular vein were exposed and cannulated with polyethylene catheters (PE-50, Intramedic) . The carotid catheter was connected to a perfusor (B. Braun) for infusion of 3.8 ml 0.9% NaCl/h, and to a blood pressure transducer. Changes in blood pressure were recorαed by using a chart recorder (Kipp & Zonen, BD 9) . The analogues were administered as bolus injections over 15 seconds through the jugular catheter. Blood samples were obtained from the carotid catheter at 3, 10, 20, 40, and 60 minutes after administration. The samples (0.45 ml) were collected in 3 ml test tubes containing 50 μl 0.13 M sodium citrate and centrifuged. Plasma was stored at -20°C until analysis. Sixty minutes after administration the rats were killed with an excessive dose of pentobatbital sodium and the kidneys and liver were removed, weighed , and stored at - 80°C. Unanaesthetized rats An oral dose of 2 ml destilled H 2 0 was given prior to the administration of analogues. The analogues were given intravenously as bolus injections into a tail vein by using an intravenous catheter (Venflon 22 G, Viggo-Spectramed, Helsingborg, Sweden) . After administration, the catheter was flushed by 0.5 ml 0.9% NaCl and removed. A plaster was applied on the injection site in order to avoid bleeding from the tail. The rat was then placed in a metabolism cage in order to collect the urine produced. After 3 hours the rat was killed by administration of C0 2 /0 2 (9/1) into the cage, and the kidneys and liver were removed and stored at -80°C until analysis. During the C0 2 -administration, the rat emptied the urinary bladder and, after the rat was removed, the metabolism cage was rinsed with 0.9% NaCl in order to obtain a total urine-NaCl volume of 25 ml. Preparation of homogenates One kidney (approx. 1 g) and approximately 2 g liver tissue were placed in separate 10 ml plastic test tubes and 2 ml 0.9% NaCl were added. The tissues were homogenized 5 in by using a High Intensity Ultrasonic Processor (Model VC50, solics & Materials Inc. Danbury CT, USA) . The kidney and liver homogenates were then diluted with saline in order to obtain a total volume of 10-25 and 4 ml, respectively. Methods of analysis The levels of aprotinin and analogues in plasma, liver homogenates and injection solutions were measured photometrically on a Cobas Fara II (Roche) . Briefly, plasma, homogenates or injection solutions were precipitated with acid in order to remove other kallikrein inhibitors than aprotinin. The kallikrein inhibitory activity in the sample were measured by using kallikrein from porcine pancreas (Sigma K 3627) and the chromogenic substrate S2266 (Kabi) . The levels in kidney homogenates and urine were measured by the same method, except for the precipitation step which was omitted, since the intrinsic kallikrein inhibitory activity in the diluted homogenates and urine was negligible. Separate standard curves were employed for each analogue in each medium. Study Design 14 groups of anaesthetized and 14 groups of unanaesthetized rats were studied. A dose of 1.56 μmoles (approximately 10 mg) aprotinin or aprotinin analogue per kg body weight were administered to each rat. Basal data on the 28 groups are given in table III. Table III BW: Body weight (g) . KW: Kidney weight (g) LW: Liver weight (g) . A: anaesthetized rat model U: Unanaesthetized rat model. Statistical evaluation Spearman's rank sum correlation test was used for the statistical evaluation. Table 4 Aprotinin Analogues: Content of Inhibitory Activity in Kidneys and Urine after i.v. Administration to Rats 10 1 The kidney accumulation index is calculated as the content of inhibitory activity after 15 3 hours divided by the content after 1 hour 2 Measurement by differential scanning calorimetry in 20 M 2-(N-Morpholino)ethane sulfonic acid, pH 5.5 Results Analogues in Kidneys and Urine The total content in kidneys (in percent of dosage) after 1 and 3 hours and in urine after 3 h is shown in Fig. 3 and Table IV. It appears that great differences between the analogues were found. As regards aprotinin, the content in kidneys 1 hour after administration was approximately 20% of the dose, whereas the content increased to more than 40% after 3 hours. The excretion of aprotinin in urine was neglible. In order to evaluate whether the excretion in urine after 3 hours was associated with the net charge of the analogues, the degree of correlation between these figures was calculated. The content in urine was found to be strongly correlated with the net charges of the analogues (cf. Fig. 4) . Table V Stability of analogues In order to study the stability of the analogues in kidney tissue, one kidney from 14 anaesthetized rats (one from each group) was divided into two pieces of identical weight. One piece was stored at 37°C and the other piece at 4°C. After 4 hours, the tissues were homogenized and the content of analogues was measured. A stability index was defined as the content in the piece stored at 37°C divided by the content in the piece stored at 4°C. The stability indices are given in table VI showing that rAprotinin, KFN 1514, KFN 1544, seem to be the most stable compounds as compared to e.g. KFN 1660 which appears to be more unstable. The stability of analogues has also been studied by the determination of their denaturation temperature. The denaturation temperatures were found to be highly correlated with the content in kidney tissue 3 hours after administration (Fig. 5) and with the accumulation indices (Fig. 6) , but not with urine excretion. These data suggest that the net charge may be of importance for the excretion in urine, but of minor importance for the concentration and accumulation in kidneys. On the other hand, the renal accumulation seems to be related to the denaturation temperature and to the stability of analogues in kidney tissu It is, however, likely that the concentrations in kidn tissue, when measured 1 hour after administration, were chan due to degradation or redistribution. Thus, it is possible th the concentrations measured e.g. 10 min after administrati would correlate with the net charge. Conclusions The following conclusions were made: 1) All analogues tested were taken up by the kidneys but varying degrees. The accumulation in the kidneys seemed to related to the thermostability and the stability in kidn tissue, but not to the net charge of the molecules. 2) The excretion in urine seemed to be associated with the charge of the analogues, but not with the stability.
