Lanthionine bridged peptides

It is a basic goal in peptide chemistry to design molecules for medical or industrial application. Design means that naturally occurring peptides which have a biological activity are modified in order to obtain molecules which have advantages over the naturally occurring peptides in different respects. There are several groups of peptides which act as hormones, as neurotoxins or as plant regulating agents. These peptides are usually small, flexible molecules which may optionally have a disulfide bridge.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide peptides which comprise a monosulfide bridge. This thioether bond is also designated as a lanthionine bridge and corresponds with the cystine bridge with the exception that the disulfide bridge is replaced by a monosulfide linkage. Two amino acid residues having the general formula

are designated to be joined into a lanthionine bridge wherein the linkage of the two amino acids has the meaning —RCH—S—HCR′—, wherein R and R′ respectively represent —H, a lower (C

-C

) alkyl or aralkyl group. In a preferred embodiment R and R′ are H. The amino acid termini of the lanthionine structure are designated as Ala

L

if R and R′ are H and Thr

L

when R or R′ are CH

3

. Other β-substituted lanthionine components are designated as substituted Ala

L

derivatives, e.g. βethylAla

L

.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

Thioether bonus of the lanthionine type are known from some fungal toxins and antibiotics, for example from the lantibiotics, as nisin, epidermin, dunamycin or mersacidin. Naturally occurring compounds having the monosulfide bridge always have more than two monosulfide bridges in the molecule.

M. F. Bean et al. have reported in their article “Identification of a Thioether By-product in the Synthesis of a Cyclic Disulfide Peptide by Tandem Mass Spectrometry” as published in the Proceedings of the 11th American Peptide Symposium, ESCOM, (Leiden 1990, p. 443) on a somatostatin analog wherein the internal disulfide bond has been converted to a thioether link. The somatostatin analog with the putative amino acid sequence D-Phe-Ala

L

-Phe-Trp-Lys-Thr-Ala

L

-Thr(ol), wherein the two Ala

L

residues are linked via the thioether bridge, has been described as the by-product which was obtained by the Boc-TFA-preparation of sandostatin analogs. The originally occurring somatostatin derivative has a disulfide bridge.

Although the naturally occurring biological active molecules contain mainly the L-enantiomers of the amino acids, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention at least one of the amino acids forming the lanthionine bridge is the D-enantiomer.

Among the especially preferred peptides of the present invention are: lanthionine-enkephalins [SEQ ID NO:1] having the formula

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention the peptide has the amino acid sequence of endothelin (Schematic Structure A see below) wherein one or two of the naturally occurring disulfide bridges are replaced by a thioether bond. Therefore the compounds can be shown as described by the schematic structures B [SEQ ID NO:22], C [SEQ ID NO:23] and D [SEQ ID NO:24].

The preferred peptides of the present invention will have sequentially overlapping thioether bonds as shown above, if the peptide has two thioether linkages. This means that in the amino acid sequence one lanthionine-bridge is located between the two Ala

rersidues forming the second lanthionine-bridge.

The peptides of the present invention can be used as pharmaceutically active compounds. They can therefore be used in pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one of the peptides of the present invention.

Pharmaceutical formulations of the peptides comprising the peptides of this invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are part of this invention. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” carrier encompasses any of the standard pharmaceutical carriers, such as phosphate buffered saline solution, water, emulsions, such as oil/water emulsions, and various types of wetting agents.

The compounds may be administered intravenously and parenterally using well known pharmaceutical carriers or inert diluents. Oral administration is not preferred because the peptides will tend to be degraded by the enzymes of the alimentary tract.

In respect to pharmaceutical compositions containing the peptides disclosed herein, carrier and other ingredients should be such as not to diminish the therapeutic effects of the peptides.

The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention thus will generally comprise an effective amount of the peptide in a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as water or alcohols which may contain fillers, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents to name but a few conventional carriers, adjuvant and excipients which may be employed.

The injectable compositions are formulated as shown in the art and may contain appropriate dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents identical or similar to those mentioned above.

Depending on the nature of the biologically active peptide they can be used in injection solutions, capsules, tablets, ointments, creams, sprays and suppositories.

A representative example of the peptides of the present invention can be produced according to the following procedure described for the enkephalin [SEQ ID NO:1]

The linear peptide chain was assembled on a methylbenzhydrylamine resin using tert-butoxycarbonyl chemistry with the symmetrical anhydride peptide coupling method. A serine residue was preferably incorporated at position 2 and later on converted to dehydroalanine using disuccinimido carbonate. The S-protecting group (fluorenyl methyl) was selectively removed with piperidine.

A slightly basic milieu, preferably 5% piperidine/dimethylformamide, promoted the Michael addition of the SH-group to the double bond. The amino acid analysis showed 48% conversion of serine. A greater excess of the reagent disuccinimido carbonate would have resulted in an increased yield for these two steps. “Low-high HF cleavage” was used to cleave the peptide from the resin and to remove the protecting groups. Purification of the resultant crude product was achieved by preparative RP-HPLC using a gradient acetonitrile-water elution. The material obtained was further purified and desalted by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-15 column (20% acetic acid/water).

The product was identified by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry. Although the Michael addition is not stereoselective, this reaction resulted in only the (2D, 5L) diastereomer. The other diastereomer expected, (2L, 5L) could not be detected in the reaction mixture. Steric hindrance from the solid support near the SH group may be responsible for the stereoselectivity of the addition reaction. The solid phase synthetic approach allows a rapid assembly of lanthionine-bridged cyclopeptides.

Experimental Procedures

All amino acids were of the L-configuration except as indicated. Protected amino acids were purchased from Bachem, Inc. ACS grade solvents (DCM, DMF, acetonitrile) were purchased from Fisher Scientific and purged with nitrogen, then stored over molecular sieves from Sigma. DIEA (Aldrich) was dried over KOH and distilled from ninhydrin. MBHA resin.HCl (Calbiochem) was swollen in DCM and washed with 5% DIEA/DCM followed by DCM before use. TFA, piperidine, DSC (Aldrich) and DCC (Fluka) were used without further purification. Silica gel for flash chromatography was purchased from Baker.

Peptides were analyzed on precoated silica gel 60F-254 plates (Merck) using (A) chloroform:methanol:acetic acid, 65:35:1; (B) butanol:acetic acid:water, 4:1:5—upper phase. Compounds were visualized by UV, ninhydrin, chlorine/o-tolidine and KMnO

solution. RP-HPLC analyses were performed on a Waters (Model 510 and Waters 484 detector) instrument with a C-18 analytical column.

There is, however, another synthetic method for the production of peptides. It is often desirable to have diastereomeric peptide analogs. The use of diastereomeric mixture of lanthionine units can provide appropriate diastereomeric analogs, separable by chromatography (HPLC). By such routes, two (or four) analogs can be prepared by a single synthetic process. The simultaneous application of the benzyloxycarbonyl, t-butyloxycarbonyl and phenacyl (or methyl, trimethylsilylethyl, etc.) groups defines the synthetic strategy of this invention to prepare

A new application of the PCOR method (Peptide Cyclization on an Oxime Resin) can provide the new cyclic segment containing a defined lanthionine bridge (Scheme 2), where the chain can be elongated at both termini. The process without a lanthionine bridge has been described in more detail by Osapay et al. in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, p. 6046-6051 and Tet. Lett. 1990, 31, p. 6121-6124. The final deprotection step followed by chromatographic purification yields the desired compounds.

Another highly promising pathway involves the synthesis of two protected intermediates, followed by coupling of the two components in generating an optically pure lanthionine. This is proceeded by the synthesis of both the protected serine β-lactone (Arnold et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1988, 110, p. 2237-2241) and the protected cysteine. The latter compound acts as a nucleophile in opening the lactone ring at the site of the methylene group (see Scheme 3).

The β-lactone method is shown in

FIG. 2

wherein also the obtainable yields are given.

Furthermore another route for the synthesis of the protected lanthionine is disclosed where reactions proceed with retention of configuration. This lanthionine derivative is prepared through the ring opening of an aziridine derivative (Wakamiya et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 1982, 55, 3878-3881) by a nucleophile, namely cysteine or any appropriate SH-containing amino acid (Scheme 4).

The Aziridine method is shown in

FIG. 3

wherein also the yields obtainable by said method are given.

Preparation of Lanthionine-opioids

As will be shown later, all of the lanthionine opioids synthesized are superactive both at the μ- and δ-receptor. To investigate structural or pharmacochemical aspects of this new class of opioids, analogs can be synthesized in order to carry out bioassays and conformational analyses of the resulting molecules. Various peptidic or peptidomimetic units can be incorporated into cyclic enkephalin and dermorphin-deltorphin structures including:

The incorporation of methyl group(s) at the β-carbon(s) and effects of chirality at the two main chain units of the lanthionine residue can also be included.

Thus the synthesis of β-methyl lanthionines and β-dimethyl lanthionine results in modifications, which are expected to lead to substantial differences in bioactivity profiles for closely related target molecules. Thus, critical information about the “bioactive conformations” of the analogs can be obtained. In addition, specific residues such as the Gly in the

and the Asp of

can be modified with natural and unnatural amino acids. This family of opioids are most promising for obtaining novel and clinically useful opioid drugs.

Lanthionine-somatostatins

New lanthionine-somatostatin derivatives can be synthesized. First, the cyclic segment with a monosulfide bridge of somatostatin or “key-hexapeptide” (Scheme 2) or other analogs of somatostatin according to the definition of R

1

on a Kaiser-oxime resin has to be prepared. It will be elongated at both termini (D-Phe at the N-terminus and threoninol at the C-terminus) to obtain for example the lanthionine analog of Sandostatin. The same synthetic strategy can be used for the preparation of the lanthionine analog of the native somatostatin tetradecapeptide. Potency and receptor selectivity of both target molecules are promising.

Lanthionine-sandostatin

Lanthionine-somatostatin [SEQ ID NO:2]

Lanthionine-calcitonins [SEQ ID NO:16-21]

It is possible to incorporate the lanthionine as the replacement of the cysteine-cysteine disulfide bridge in the N-terminal loop. The loop can be prepared via the PCOR method (Scheme 5).

The elongation at the C-terminus to get the final calcitonin-analog can be performed by normal classical fragment condensations or by the strategy shown later in the paragraph of lanthionine-oxytocin and -vasopressin synthesis (Scheme 6).

Lanthionine-oxytocins and Lanthionine-vasopressins

The incorporation of a lanthionine bridge to replace the existing disulfide bridge found in natural oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) is another example. This can be accomplished by the synthesis of the lanthionine component prior to its incorporation in the peptide sequence (Scheme 6).

The following examples illustrate the present invention without limiting the scope of the invention thereto.

EXAMPLE 1

a) Preparation of Z-Tyr(Bzl)-Ser-Gly-Phe-Cys(Fm)-MBHA (1)

The remaining amino groups were capped by acetylation. The resulting Boc-Cys(Fm)-MBHA resin (substitution level 0.36 mmol/g, based on picric acid titration) was then deprotected with 30% TFA/DCM (v/v) and neutralized with 1% DIEA/DCM (v/v) solution. The peptide chain was then assembled by consecutive addition of the symmetrical anhydrides (2.5 equiv.) of BocPheOH, BocGlyOH, BocSerOH, and ZTyr(Bzl)OH as well as deprotection steps. The completeness of coupling was monitored by the Kaiser test. Coupling of ZTyr(Bzl)OH was repeated with 1 molar equivalent reagent.

A linear gradient from 15% to 22% acetonitrile over 12 min with a flow rate of 10 mL/min was employed. The appropriate fractions were lyophilized to give a solid product (yield 87 mg). Finally, 30 mg of the product was subjected to gel permeation chromatography (1.5×100 cm Sephadex G-15 eluted with 20% acetic acid). The peptide fractions were pooled and lyophilized.

Bioassays Using Isolated Organ Preparations

All of these assays represent standard procedures which have been well described in the literature.

(1) The GPI (guinea pig ileum) assay was performed according to a modified version of a procedure first developed by Paton. Male guinea pigs (300-450 g) were killed by a blow on the skull and exsanguinated. A 2-3 cm segment of ileum not less than 10 cm from the ileocecal junction was mounted in a 20 ml organ bath. The bath contained Krebs' solution of the following composition (in millimolar concentrations): NaCl, 150; KCl, 4.3; CaCl

. A GRASS E 2B electrode was used as anode with the 1.5 cm platinum wire entirely enclosed within the lumen. The other end of the preparation was tied over a piece of stiff polyethylene tubing (4 cm, 2.5 mm O.D) which projects out of the bath solution and was tied to the strain gauge. Another GRASS E 2B electrode was placed about 5 mm from the intestine and parallel to it to achieve transmural stimulation. Single pulses of 4 msec during were delivered by a Harvard apparatus stimulator at a frequency of 10 min

−1

. Voltages in the range from 3 to 6 V were applied in order to obtain maximal response. Isometric contractions of the ileum were recorded via a Harvard isometric force transducer on a Harvard apparatus biograph which has been calibrated to produce a pen displacement of 1 cm per tension change of 1 g. The results were standardized by expressing the reduction in tension obtained at each dose level as a -percentage of the mean tension produced by at least ten preceding control stimulations. Semilogarithmic plots of percent inhibition as a function of peptide concentration permit the determination of IC50-values which were taken as the intercept of 50% inhibition.

(2) The MVD (mouse vas deference) assay was performed essentially as described by Henderson. Briefly, adult, male albino mice (Swiss Webster 30-50 g) are killed by cervical dislocation and the vas deferentia are dissected out. After removal of extraneous fat and connective tissue, the vas is stripped of its associated blood vessel and the somen is gently expressed from the lumen. The vas is then mounted under 0.5 g tension in a 5 ml organ bath containing warmed (37° C.), oxygenated (95% O

A modified Harvard apparatus stimulator is used to deliver repetitive field stimulation through platinum wire ring electrodes at the top and bottom of the bath, consisting of twin, rectangular pulses (80 V, 0.15 Hz, 10-ms delay, 1.0-ms duration). Contractions of the muscle are recorded via a Hewlett-Packard Model FTA-l-l force transducer connected to a Hewlett-Packard 7702B recorder. Deterimnation of the resuction in the twitch length at various doses permits the construction of log dose-response curves and the determination of IC50 values.

Table 1 shows that the compound according to the invention which has a thioether bond is in both methods, particularily in the most relevant GPI test, more potent than the corresponding —S—S— compound.

Example 6

Using protocols described by Shiller et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1983, 115, p. 864-870, we compared the half-lives of three compounds: Leu

5

-enkephalin, disulfide-enkephalin, and lanthionine-enkephalin. As indicated in Table 2, the lanthionine-enkephalin is much more stable than the other two compounds.

]-enkephalin shows only 40-50% of full agonistic activity after 100 pg dosage in the in vitro assays using GPI and MVD preparations. The lanthionine opioid exhibits 400 times greater bioactivity at the GPI (μ-receptor) and 20 times greater bioactivity at the MVD (δ-receptor) than [Leu

5

]-enkephalin. These values are higher than those of its disulfide bridged counterpart, DCDCE. The lanthionine analog does not show a preference for the μ- or the δ-receptor. The IC

50

ratio (MVD/GPI) is 0.9.

Although the lanthionine-enkephalins according to the invention possess superactivity, they do not seem to have high receptor selectivity. To imporoive thier selectivity, it is possible to introduce one or more alkyl (methy) group(s) in p positions) of the lanthionine segment.

In this case at least one of R

, R

, R

may be alkyl (methyl).

The two lanthionine octapeptides in Scheme 3 are highly potent on both SSTR2 and SSTR4 receptors. They have similar affinities to SSTR4 as sandostatin but their affinities for SSTR2 are slightly decreased. By comparing the IC

50

values for SSTR2/SSTR4 receptors, the disulfide and monosulfide bridged octapeptide alcohols are practically the same. On the contrary, the octapeptide amide has a four times higher selectivity for SSTR4 because its affinity to SSTR2 is decreased. The lanthionine analog of SRIF 14 shows the same binding affinity to SSTR2 as the natural disulfide bridged peptide.
