The human transcription factor protein p53 induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to DNA damage and cellular stress, and thereby plays a critical role in protecting cells from malignant transformation. The E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 (also known as HDM2) negatively regulates p53 function through a direct binding interaction that neutralizes the p53 transactivation activity, leads to export from the nucleus of p53 protein, and targets p53 for degradation via the ubiquitylation-proteasomal pathway. Loss of p53 activity, either by deletion, mutation, or MDM2 overexpression, is the most common defect in human cancers. Tumors that express wild type p53 are vulnerable to pharmacologic agents that stabilize or increase the concentration of active p53. In this context, inhibition of the activities of MDM2 has emerged as a validated approach to restore p53 activity and resensitize cancer cells to apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. MDMX (MDM4) has more recently been identified as a similar negative regulator of p53, and studies have revealed significant structural homology between the p53 binding interfaces of MDM2 and MDMX. The p53-MDM2 and p53-MDMX protein-protein interactions are mediated by the same 15-residue alpha-helical transactivation domain of p53, which inserts into hydrophobic clefts on the surface of MDM2 and MDMX. Three residues within this domain of p53 (F19, W23, and L26) are essential for binding to MDM2 and MDMX.
There remains a considerable need for compounds capable of binding to and modulating the activity of p53, MDM2 and/or MDMX. Provided herein are p53-based peptidomimetic macrocycles that modulate an activity of p53. Also provided herein are p53-based peptidomimetic macrocycles that inhibit the interactions between p53, MDM2 and/or MDMX proteins. Further, provided herein are p53-based peptidomimetic macrocycles that can be used for treating diseases including but not limited to cancer and other hyperproliferative diseases.
Described herein are stably cross-linked peptides related to a portion of human p53 (“p53 peptidomimetic macrocycles”). These cross-linked peptides contain at least two modified amino acids that together form an intramolecular cross-link that can help to stabilize the alpha-helical secondary structure of a portion of p53 that is thought to be important for binding of p53 to MDM2 and for binding of p53 to MDMX. Accordingly, a cross-linked polypeptide described herein can have improved biological activity relative to a corresponding polypeptide that is not cross-linked. The p53 peptidomimetic macrocycles are thought to interfere with binding of p53 to MDM2 and/or of p53 to MDMX, thereby liberating functional p53 and inhibiting its destruction. The p53 peptidomimetic macrocycles described herein can be used therapeutically, for example to treat cancers and other disorders characterized by an undesirably low level or a low activity of p53, and/or to treat cancers and other disorders characterized by an undesirably high level of activity of MDM2 or MDMX. The p53 peptidomimetic macrocycles can also be useful for treatment of any disorder associated with disrupted regulation of the p53 transcriptional pathway, leading to conditions of excess cell survival and proliferation such as cancer and autoimmunity, in addition to conditions of inappropriate cell cycle arrest and apoptosis such as neurodegeneration and immunedeficiencies. In some embodiments, the p53 peptidomimetic macrocycles bind to MDM2 (e.g., GenBank® Accession No.: 228952; GI:228952) and/or MDMX (also referred to as MDM4; GenBank® AccessionNo.: 88702791; GI:88702791).

All publications, patents, and patent applications mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent, or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
The novel features of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. A better understanding of the features and advantages of the present invention will be obtained by reference to the following detailed description that sets forth illustrative embodiments, in which the principles of the invention are utilized, and the accompanying drawings of which:
As used herein, the term “macrocycle” refers to a molecule having a chemical structure including a ring or cycle formed by at least 9 covalently bonded atoms.
As used herein, the term “peptidomimetic macrocycle” or “crosslinked polypeptide” refers to a compound comprising a plurality of amino acid residues joined by a plurality of peptide bonds and at least one macrocycle-forming linker which forms a macrocycle between a first naturally-occurring or non-naturally-occurring amino acid residue (or analog) and a second naturally-occurring or non-naturally-occurring amino acid residue (or analog) within the same molecule. Peptidomimetic macrocycle include embodiments where the macrocycle-forming linker connects the a carbon of the first amino acid residue (or analog) to the α carbon of the second amino acid residue (or analog). The peptidomimetic macrocycles optionally include one or more non-peptide bonds between one or more amino acid residues and/or amino acid analog residues, and optionally include one or more non-naturally-occurring amino acid residues or amino acid analog residues in addition to any which form the macrocycle. A “corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide” when referred to in the context of a peptidomimetic macrocycle is understood to relate to a polypeptide of the same length as the macrocycle and comprising the equivalent natural amino acids of the wild-type sequence corresponding to the macrocycle.
As used herein, the term “stability” refers to the maintenance of a defined secondary structure in solution by a peptidomimetic macrocycle as measured by circular dichroism, NMR or another biophysical measure, or resistance to proteolytic degradation in vitro or in vivo. Non-limiting examples of secondary structures contemplated herein are α-helices, 310 helices, β-turns, and β-pleated sheets.
As used herein, the term “helical stability” refers to the maintenance of α helical structure by a peptidomimetic macrocycle as measured by circular dichroism or NMR. For example, in some embodiments, a peptidomimetic macrocycle exhibits at least a 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 or 2-fold increase in α-helicity as determined by circular dichroism compared to a corresponding uncrosslinked macrocycle.
The term “amino acid” refers to a molecule containing both an amino group and a carboxyl group. Suitable amino acids include, without limitation, both the D- and L-isomers of the naturally-occurring amino acids, as well as non-naturally occurring amino acids prepared by organic synthesis or other metabolic routes. The term amino acid, as used herein, includes, without limitation, α-amino acids, natural amino acids, non-natural amino acids, and amino acid analogs.
The term “α-amino acid” refers to a molecule containing both an amino group and a carboxyl group bound to a carbon which is designated the α-carbon.
The term “β-amino acid” refers to a molecule containing both an amino group and a carboxyl group in a β configuration.
The term “naturally occurring amino acid” refers to any one of the twenty amino acids commonly found in peptides synthesized in nature, and known by the one letter abbreviations A, R, N, C, D, Q, E, G, H, I, L, K, M, F, P, S, T, W, Y and V.

In still other embodiments, the amino group(s) of a β-amino acid analog is substituted with a protecting group, e.g., tert-butyloxycarbonyl (BOC group), 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (FMOC), tosyl, and the like. In yet other embodiments, the carboxylic acid functional group of a β-amino acid analog is protected, e.g., as its ester derivative. In some embodiments the salt of the amino acid analog is used.
A “non-essential” amino acid residue is a residue that can be altered from the wild-type sequence of a polypeptide without abolishing or substantially altering its essential biological or biochemical activity (e.g., receptor binding or activation). An “essential” amino acid residue is a residue that, when altered from the wild-type sequence of the polypeptide, results in abolishing or substantially abolishing the polypeptide's essential biological or biochemical activity.
A “conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., K, R, H), acidic side chains (e.g., D, E), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., G, N, Q, S, T, Y, C), nonpolar side chains (e.g., A, V, L, I, P, F, M, W), beta-branched side chains (e.g., T, V, I) and aromatic side chains (e.g., Y, F, W, H). Thus, a predicted nonessential amino acid residue in a polypeptide, for example, is replaced with another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Other examples of acceptable substitutions are substitutions based on isosteric considerations (e.g. norleucine for methionine) or other properties (e.g. 2-thienylalanine for phenylalanine, or 6-Cl-tryptophan for tryptophan).
The term “capping group” refers to the chemical moiety occurring at either the carboxy or amino terminus of the polypeptide chain of the subject peptidomimetic macrocycle. The capping group of a carboxy terminus includes an unmodified carboxylic acid (ie —COOH) or a carboxylic acid with a substituent. For example, the carboxy terminus can be substituted with an amino group to yield a carboxamide at the C-terminus. Various substituents include but are not limited to primary and secondary amines, including pegylated secondary amines. Representative secondary amine capping groups for the C-terminus include:
The capping group of an amino terminus includes an unmodified amine (ie —NH2) or an amine with a substituent. For example, the amino terminus can be substituted with an acyl group to yield a carboxamide at the N-terminus. Various substituents include but are not limited to substituted acyl groups, including C1-C6 carbonyls, C7-C30 carbonyls, and pegylated carbamates. Representative capping groups for the N-terminus include, but are not limited to, 4-FBzl (4-fluoro-benzyl) and the following:
The term “member” as used herein in conjunction with macrocycles or macrocycle-forming linkers refers to the atoms that form or can form the macrocycle, and excludes substituent or side chain atoms. By analogy, cyclodecane, 1,2-difluoro-decane and 1,3-dimethyl cyclodecane are all considered ten-membered macrocycles as the hydrogen or fluoro substituents or methyl side chains do not participate in forming the macrocycle.
The symbol when used as part of a molecular structure refers to a single bond or a trans or cis double bond.
The term “amino acid side chain” refers to a moiety attached to the α-carbon (or another backbone atom) in an amino acid. For example, the amino acid side chain for alanine is methyl, the amino acid side chain for phenylalanine is phenylmethyl, the amino acid side chain for cysteine is thiomethyl, the amino acid side chain for aspartate is carboxymethyl, the amino acid side chain for tyrosine is 4-hydroxyphenylmethyl, etc. Other non-naturally occurring amino acid side chains are also included, for example, those that occur in nature (e.g., an amino acid metabolite) or those that are made synthetically (e.g., an α,α di-substituted amino acid).
The term “α,α di-substituted amino” acid refers to a molecule or moiety containing both an amino group and a carboxyl group bound to a carbon (the α-carbon) that is attached to two natural or non-natural amino acid side chains.
The term “polypeptide” encompasses two or more naturally or non-naturally-occurring amino acids joined by a covalent bond (e.g., an amide bond).

In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and thus occur as racemates and racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, individual diastereomers and diastereomeric mixtures. All such isomeric forms of these compounds are included unless expressly provided otherwise. In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein are also represented in multiple tautomeric forms, in such instances, the compounds include all tautomeric forms of the compounds described herein (e.g., if alkylation of a ring system results in alkylation at multiple sites, the invention includes all such reaction products). All such isomeric forms of such compounds are included unless expressly provided otherwise. All crystal forms of the compounds described herein are included unless expressly provided otherwise.
As used herein, the terms “increase” and “decrease” mean, respectively, to cause a statistically significantly (i.e., p<0.1) increase or decrease of at least 5%.
As used herein, the recitation of a numerical range for a variable is intended to convey that the variable is equal to any of the values within that range. Thus, for a variable which is inherently discrete, the variable is equal to any integer value within the numerical range, including the end-points of the range. Similarly, for a variable which is inherently continuous, the variable is equal to any real value within the numerical range, including the end-points of the range. As an example, and without limitation, a variable which is described as having values between 0 and 2 takes the values 0, 1 or 2 if the variable is inherently discrete, and takes the values 0.0, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, or any other real values ≥0 and ≤2 if the variable is inherently continuous.
As used herein, unless specifically indicated otherwise, the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or” and not the exclusive sense of “either/or.”
The term “on average” represents the mean value derived from performing at least three independent replicates for each data point.
The term “biological activity” encompasses structural and functional properties of a macrocycle. Biological activity is, for example, structural stability, alpha-helicity, affinity for a target, resistance to proteolytic degradation, cell penetrability, intracellular stability, in vivo stability, or any combination thereof.
The term “binding affinity” refers to the strength of a binding interaction, for example between a peptidomimetic macrocycle and a target. Binding affinity can be expressed, for example, as an equilibrium dissociation constant (“KD”), which is expressed in units which are a measure of concentration (e.g. M, mM, μM, nM etc). Numerically, binding affinity and KD values vary inversely, such that a lower binding affinity corresponds to a higher KD value, while a higher binding affinity corresponds to a lower KD value. Where high binding affinity is desirable, “improved” binding affinity refers to higher binding affinity and therefoere lower KD values.
The term “in vitro efficacy” refers to the extent to which a test compound, such as a peptidomimetic macrocycle, produces a beneficial result in an in vitro test system or assay. In vitro efficacy can be measured, for example, as an “IC50” or “EC50” value, which represents the concentration of the test compound which produces 50% of the maximal effect in the test system.
The term “ratio of in vitro efficacies” or “in vitro efficacy ratio” refers to the ratio of IC50 or EC50 values from a first assay (the numerator) versus a second assay (the denominator). Consequently, an improved in vitro efficacy ratio for Assay 1 versus Assay 2 refers to a lower value for the ratio expressed as IC50(Assay 1)/IC50(Assay 2) or alternatively as EC50(Assay 1)/EC50(Assay 2). This concept can also be characterized as “improved selectivity” in Assay 1 versus Assay 2, which can be due either to a decrease in the IC50 or EC50 value for Target 1 or an increase in the value for the IC50 or EC50 value for Target 2.
The details of one or more particular embodiments of the invention are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features, objects, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.

In other embodiments, D and/or E in the compound of Formula I are further modified in order to facilitate cellular uptake.

In specific embodiments, the α-helix includes 1 turn, 2 turns, 3 turns, 4 turns, or 5 turns. In some embodiments, the macrocycle-forming linker stabilizes an α-helix motif included within the peptidomimetic macrocycle.

Where the macrocycle-forming linker spans approximately 1 turn of an α-helix, the linkage contains approximately 4 atoms to 12 atoms, approximately 6 atoms to 10 atoms, or approximately 8 atoms. Where the macrocycle-forming linker spans approximately 2 turns of the α-helix, the linkage contains approximately 7 atoms to 15 atoms, approximately 9 atoms to 13 atoms, or approximately 11 atoms.

Preparation of Peptidomimetic Macrocycles
Peptidomimetic macrocycles can be prepared by any of a variety of methods known in the art. For example, any of the residues indicated by “$” or “$r8” in Table 1, Table 1a, Table 1b, or Table 1c can be substituted with a residue capable of forming a crosslinker with a second residue in the same molecule or a precursor of such a residue.
Various methods to effect formation of peptidomimetic macrocycles are known in the art. For example, the preparation of peptidomimetic macrocycles of Formula I is described in Schafmeister et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122:5891-5892 (2000); Schafmeister & Verdine, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122:5891 (2005); Walensky et al., Science 305:1466-1470 (2004); U.S. Pat. No. 7,192,713 and PCT application WO 2008/121767. The α,α-disubstituted amino acids and amino acid precursors disclosed in the cited references can be employed in synthesis of the peptidomimetic macrocycle precursor polypeptides. For example, the “S5-olefin amino acid” is (S)-α-(2′-pentenyl) alanine and the “R8 olefin amino acid” is (R)-α-(2′-octenyl) alanine. Following incorporation of such amino acids into precursor polypeptides, the terminal olefins are reacted with a metathesis catalyst, leading to the formation of the peptidomimetic macrocycle. In various embodiments, the following amino acids can be employed in the synthesis of the peptidomimetic macrocycle:
In other embodiments, the peptidomimetic macrocyles are of Formula IV or IVa. Methods for the preparation of such macrocycles are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,202,332.
Additional methods of forming peptidomimetic macrocycles which are envisioned as suitable include those disclosed by Mustapa, M. Firouz Mohd et al., J. Org. Chem (2003), 68, pp. 8193-8198; Yang, Bin et al. Bioorg Med. Chem. Lett. (2004), 14, pp. 1403-1406; U.S. Pat. No. 5,364,851; U.S. Pat. No. 5,446,128; U.S. Pat. No. 5,824,483; U.S. Pat. No. 6,713,280; and U.S. Pat. No. 7,202,332. In such embodiments, aminoacid precursors are used containing an additional substituent R— at the alpha position. Such aminoacids are incorporated into the macrocycle precursor at the desired positions, which can be at the positions where the crosslinker is substituted or, alternatively, elsewhere in the sequence of the macrocycle precursor. Cyclization of the precursor is then effected according to the indicated method.
Assays
The properties of peptidomimetic macrocycles are assayed, for example, by using the methods described below. In some embodiments, a peptidomimetic macrocycle has improved biological properties relative to a corresponding polypeptide lacking the substituents described herein.
Assay to Determine α-Helicity
In solution, the secondary structure of polypeptides with α-helical domains will reach a dynamic equilibrium between random coil structures and α-helical structures, often expressed as a “percent helicity”. Thus, for example, alpha-helical domains are predominantly random coils in solution, with α-helical content usually under 25%. Peptidomimetic macrocycles with optimized linkers, on the other hand, possess, for example, an alpha-helicity that is at least two-fold greater than that of a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide. In some embodiments, macrocycles will possess an alpha-helicity of greater than 50%. To assay the helicity of peptidomimetic macrocyles, the compounds are dissolved in an aqueous solution (e.g. 50 mM potassium phosphate solution at pH 7, or distilled H2O, to concentrations of 25-50 μM). Circular dichroism (CD) spectra are obtained on a spectropolarimeter (e.g., Jasco J-710) using standard measurement parameters (e.g. temperature, 20° C.; wavelength, 190-260 nm; step resolution, 0.5 nm; speed, 20 nm/sec; accumulations, 10; response, 1 sec; bandwidth, 1 nm; path length, 0.1 cm). The α-helical content of each peptide is calculated by dividing the mean residue ellipticity (e.g. [Φ]222obs) by the reported value for a model helical decapeptide (Yang et al. (1986), Methods Enzymol. 130:208)).
Assay to Determine Melting Temperature (Tm).
A peptidomimetic macrocycle comprising a secondary structure such as an α-helix exhibits, for example, a higher melting temperature than a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide. Typically peptidomimetic macrocycles exhibit Tm of >60° C. representing a highly stable structure in aqueous solutions. To assay the effect of macrocycle formation on melting temperature, peptidomimetic macrocycles or unmodified peptides are dissolved in distilled H2O (e.g. at a final concentration of 50 μM) and the Tm is determined by measuring the change in ellipticity over a temperature range (e.g. 4 to 95° C.) on a spectropolarimeter (e.g., Jasco J-710) using standard parameters (e.g. wavelength 222 nm; step resolution, 0.5 nm; speed, 20 nm/sec; accumulations, 10; response, 1 sec; bandwidth, 1 nm; temperature increase rate: 1° C./min; path length, 0.1 cm).
Protease Resistance Assay.
The amide bond of the peptide backbone is susceptible to hydrolysis by proteases, thereby rendering peptidic compounds vulnerable to rapid degradation in vivo. Peptide helix formation, however, typically buries the amide backbone and therefore can shield it from proteolytic cleavage. The peptidomimetic macrocycles can be subjected to in vitro trypsin proteolysis to assess for any change in degradation rate compared to a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide. For example, the peptidomimetic macrocycle and a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide are incubated with trypsin agarose and the reactions quenched at various time points by centrifugation and subsequent HPLC injection to quantitate the residual substrate by ultraviolet absorption at 280 nm. Briefly, the peptidomimetic macrocycle and peptidomimetic precursor (5 mcg) are incubated with trypsin agarose (Pierce) (S/E˜125) for 0, 10, 20, 90, and 180 minutes. Reactions are quenched by tabletop centrifugation at high speed; remaining substrate in the isolated supernatant is quantified by HPLC-based peak detection at 280 nm. The proteolytic reaction displays first order kinetics and the rate constant, k, is determined from a plot of In[S] versus time (k=−1× slope).
Ex Vivo Stability Assay.
Peptidomimetic macrocycles with optimized linkers possess, for example, an ex vivo half-life that is at least two-fold greater than that of a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide, and possess an ex vivo half-life of 12 hours or more. For ex vivo serum stability studies, a variety of assays can be used. For example, a peptidomimetic macrocycle and a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide (2 mcg) are incubated with fresh mouse, rat and/or human serum (2 mL) at 37° C. for 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours. To determine the level of intact compound, the following procedure can be used: The samples are extracted by transferring 100 μl of sera to 2 ml centrifuge tubes followed by the addition of 10 μL of 50% formic acid and 500 μL acetonitrile and centrifugation at 14,000 RPM for 10 min at 4±2° C. The supernatants are then transferred to fresh 2 ml tubes and evaporated on Turbovap under N2<10 psi, 37° C. The samples are reconstituted in 100 μL of 50:50 acetonitrile:water and submitted to LC-MS/MS analysis.
In Vitro Binding Assays.
To assess the binding and affinity of peptidomimetic macrocycles and peptidomimetic precursors to acceptor proteins, a fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) issued, for example. The FPA technique measures the molecular orientation and mobility using polarized light and fluorescent tracer. When excited with polarized light, fluorescent tracers (e.g., FITC) attached to molecules with high apparent molecular weights (e.g. FITC-labeled peptides bound to a large protein) emit higher levels of polarized fluorescence due to their slower rates of rotation as compared to fluorescent tracers attached to smaller molecules (e.g. FITC—labeled peptides that are free in solution).
For example, fluoresceinated peptidomimetic macrocycles (25 nM) are incubated with the acceptor protein (25-1000 nM) in binding buffer (140 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCL, pH 7.4) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Binding activity is measured, for example, by fluorescence polarization on a luminescence spectrophotometer (e.g. Perkin-Elmer LS50B). Kd values can be determined by nonlinear regression analysis using, for example, Graphpad Prism software (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, Calif.). A peptidomimetic macrocycle shows, In some embodiments, similar or lower Kd than a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide.
In Vitro Displacement Assays to Characterize Antagonists of Peptide-Protein Interactions.
To assess the binding and affinity of compounds that antagonize the interaction between a peptide and an acceptor protein, a fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) utilizing a fluoresceinated peptidomimetic macrocycle derived from a peptidomimetic precursor sequence is used, for example. The FPA technique measures the molecular orientation and mobility using polarized light and fluorescent tracer. When excited with polarized light, fluorescent tracers (e.g., FITC) attached to molecules with high apparent molecular weights (e.g. FITC-labeled peptides bound to a large protein) emit higher levels of polarized fluorescence due to their slower rates of rotation as compared to fluorescent tracers attached to smaller molecules (e.g. FITC-labeled peptides that are free in solution). A compound that antagonizes the interaction between the fluoresceinated peptidomimetic macrocycle and an acceptor protein will be detected in a competitive binding FPA experiment.
For example, putative antagonist compounds (1 nM to 1 mM) and a fluoresceinated peptidomimetic macrocycle (25 nM) are incubated with the acceptor protein (50 nM) in binding buffer (140 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCL, pH 7.4) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Antagonist binding activity is measured, for example, by fluorescence polarization on a luminescence spectrophotometer (e.g. Perkin-Elmer LS50B). Kd values can be determined by nonlinear regression analysis using, for example, Graphpad Prism software (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, Calif.).
Any class of molecule, such as small organic molecules, peptides, oligonucleotides or proteins can be examined as putative antagonists in this assay.
Assay for Protein-Ligand Binding by Affinity Selection-Mass Spectrometry
To assess the binding and affinity of test compounds for proteins, an affinity-selection mass spectrometry assay is used, for example. Protein-ligand binding experiments are conducted according to the following representative procedure outlined for a system-wide control experiment using 1 μM peptidomimetic macrocycle plus 5 μM hMDM2. A 1 μL DMSO aliquot of a 40 μM stock solution of peptidomimetic macrocycle is dissolved in 19 μL of PBS (Phosphate-buffered saline: 50 mM, pH 7.5 Phosphate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl). The resulting solution is mixed by repeated pipetting and clarified by centrifugation at 10 000 g for 10 min. To a 4 μL aliquot of the resulting supernatant is added 4 μL of 10 μM hMDM2 in PBS. Each 8.0 μL experimental sample thus contains 40 pmol (1.5 μg) of protein at 5.0 μM concentration in PBS plus 1 μM peptidomimetic macrocycle and 2.5% DMSO. Duplicate samples thus prepared for each concentration point are incubated for 60 min at room temperature, and then chilled to 4° C. prior to size-exclusion chromatography-LC-MS analysis of 5.0 μL injections. Samples containing a target protein, protein-ligand complexes, and unbound compounds are injected onto an SEC column, where the complexes are separated from non-binding component by a rapid SEC step. The SEC column eluate is monitored using UV detectors to confirm that the early-eluting protein fraction, which elutes in the void volume of the SEC column, is well resolved from unbound components that are retained on the column. After the peak containing the protein and protein-ligand complexes elutes from the primary UV detector, it enters a sample loop where it is excised from the flow stream of the SEC stage and transferred directly to the LC-MS via a valving mechanism. The (M+3H)3+ ion of the peptidomimetic macrocycle is observed by ESI-MS at the expected m/z, confirming the detection of the protein-ligand complex.
Assay for Protein-Ligand Kd Titration Experiments.
To assess the binding and affinity of test compounds for proteins, a protein-ligand Kd titration experiment is performed, for example. Protein-ligand Kd titrations experiments are conducted as follows: 2 μL DMSO aliquots of a serially diluted stock solution of titrant peptidomimetic macrocycle (5, 2.5, . . . , 0.098 mM) are prepared then dissolved in 38 μL of PBS. The resulting solutions are mixed by repeated pipetting and clarified by centrifugation at 10 000 g for 10 min. To 4.0 μL aliquots of the resulting supernatants is added 4.0 μL of 10 μM hMDM2 in PBS. Each 8.0 μL experimental sample thus contains 40 pmol (1.5 μg) of protein at 5.0 μM concentration in PBS, varying concentrations (125, 62.5, . . . , 0.24 μM) of the titrant peptide, and 2.5% DMSO. Duplicate samples thus prepared for each concentration point are incubated at room temperature for 30 min, then chilled to 4° C. prior to SEC-LC-MS analysis of 2.0 μL injections. The (M+H)1+, (M+2H)2+, (M+3H)3+, and/or (M+Na)1+ ion is observed by ESI-MS; extracted ion chromatograms are quantified, then fit to equations to derive the binding affinity Kd as described in “A General Technique to Rank Protein-Ligand Binding Affinities and Determine Allosteric vs. Direct Binding Site Competition in Compound Mixtures.” Annis, D.

Assay for Competitive Binding Experiments by Affinity Selection-Mass Spectrometry
To determine the ability of test compounds to bind competitively to proteins, an affinity selection mass spectrometry assay is performed, for example. A mixture of ligands at 40 μM per component is prepared by combining 2 μL aliquots of 400 μM stocks of each of the three compounds with 14 μL of DMSO. Then, 1 μL aliquots of this 40 μM per component mixture are combined with 1 μL DMSO aliquots of a serially diluted stock solution of titrant peptidomimetic macrocycle (10, 5, 2.5, . . . , 0.078 mM). These 2 μL samples are dissolved in 38 μL of PBS. The resulting solutions were mixed by repeated pipetting and clarified by centrifugation at 10 000 g for 10 min. To 4.0 μL aliquots of the resulting supernatants is added 4.0 μL of 10 μM hMDM2 protein in PBS. Each 8.0 μL experimental sample thus contains 40 pmol (1.5 μg) of protein at 5.0 μM concentration in PBS plus 0.5 μM ligand, 2.5% DMSO, and varying concentrations (125, 62.5, . . . , 0.98 μM) of the titrant peptidomimetic macrocycle. Duplicate samples thus prepared for each concentration point are incubated at room temperature for 60 min, then chilled to 4° C. prior to SEC-LC-MS analysis of 2.0 μL injections. Additional details on these and other methods are provided in “A General Technique to Rank Protein-Ligand Binding Affinities and Determine Allosteric vs. Direct Binding Site Competition in Compound Mixtures.” Annis, D.

Binding Assays in Intact Cells.
It is possible to measure binding of peptides or peptidomimetic macrocycles to their natural acceptors in intact cells by immunoprecipitation experiments. For example, intact cells are incubated with fluoresceinated (FITC-labeled) compounds for 4 hrs in the absence of serum, followed by serum replacement and further incubation that ranges from 4-18 hrs. Cells are then pelleted and incubated in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris [pH 7.6], 150 mM NaCl, 1% CHAPS and protease inhibitor cocktail) for 10 minutes at 4° C. Extracts are centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 15 minutes and supernatants collected and incubated with 10 μl goat anti-FITC antibody for 2 hrs, rotating at 4° C. followed by further 2 hrs incubation at 4° C. with protein A/G Sepharose (50 μl of 50% bead slurry). After quick centrifugation, the pellets are washed in lysis buffer containing increasing salt concentration (e.g., 150, 300, 500 mM). The beads are then re-equilibrated at 150 mM NaCl before addition of SDS-containing sample buffer and boiling. After centrifugation, the supernatants are optionally electrophoresed using 4%-12% gradient Bis-Tris gels followed by transfer into Immobilon-P membranes. After blocking, blots are optionally incubated with an antibody that detects FITC and also with one or more antibodies that detect proteins that bind to the peptidomimetic macrocycle.
Cellular Penetrability Assays.
A peptidomimetic macrocycle is, for example, more cell penetrable compared to a corresponding uncrosslinked macrocycle. Peptidomimetic macrocycles with optimized linkers possess, for example, cell penetrability that is at least two-fold greater than a corresponding uncrosslinked macrocycle, and often 20% or more of the applied peptidomimetic macrocycle will be observed to have penetrated the cell after 4 hours. To measure the cell penetrability of peptidomimetic macrocycles and corresponding uncrosslinked macrocycle, intact cells are incubated with fluorescently-labeled (e.g. fluoresceinated) peptidomimetic macrocycles or corresponding uncrosslinked macrocycle (10 μM) for 4 hrs in serum free media at 37° C., washed twice with media and incubated with trypsin (0.25%) for 10 min at 37° C. The cells are washed again and resuspended in PBS. Cellular fluorescence is analyzed, for example, by using either a FACSCalibur flow cytometer or Cellomics' KineticScan® HCS Reader.
Cellular Efficacy Assays.
The efficacy of certain peptidomimetic macrocycles is determined, for example, in cell-based killing assays using a variety of tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic cell lines and primary cells derived from human or mouse cell populations. Cell viability is monitored, for example, over 24-96 hrs of incubation with peptidomimetic macrocycles (0.5 to 50 μM) to identify those that kill at EC50<10 μM. Several standard assays that measure cell viability are commercially available and are optionally used to assess the efficacy of the peptidomimetic macrocycles. In addition, assays that measure Annexin V and caspase activation are optionally used to assess whether the peptidomimetic macrocycles kill cells by activating the apoptotic machinery. For example, the Cell Titer-glo assay is used which determines cell viability as a function of intracellular ATP concentration.
In Vivo Stability Assay.
To investigate the in vivo stability of the peptidomimetic macrocycles, the compounds are, for example, administered to mice and/or rats by IV, IP, PO or inhalation routes at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 50 mg/kg and blood specimens withdrawn at 0′, 5′, 15′, 30′, 1 hr, 4 hrs, 8 hrs and 24 hours post-injection. Levels of intact compound in 25 μL of fresh serum are then measured by LC-MS/MS as above.
In Vivo Efficacy in Animal Models.
To determine the anti-oncogenic activity of peptidomimetic macrocycles in vivo, the compounds are, for example, given alone (IP, IV, PO, by inhalation or nasal routes) or in combination with sub-optimal doses of relevant chemotherapy (e.g., cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, etoposide). In one example, 5×106 RS4; 11 cells (established from the bone marrow of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia) that stably express luciferase are injected by tail vein in NOD-SCID mice 3 hrs after they have been subjected to total body irradiation. If left untreated, this form of leukemia is fatal in 3 weeks in this model. The leukemia is readily monitored, for example, by injecting the mice with D-luciferin (60 mg/kg) and imaging the anesthetized animals (e.g., Xenogen In Vivo Imaging System, Caliper Life Sciences, Hopkinton, Mass.). Total body bioluminescence is quantified by integration of photonic flux (photons/sec) by Living Image Software (Caliper Life Sciences, Hopkinton, Mass.). Peptidomimetic macrocycles alone or in combination with sub-optimal doses of relevant chemotherapeutics agents are, for example, administered to leukemic mice (10 days after injection/day 1 of experiment, in bioluminescence range of 14-16) by tail vein or IP routes at doses ranging from 0.1 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg for 7 to 21 days. Optionally, the mice are imaged throughout the experiment every other day and survival monitored daily for the duration of the experiment. Expired mice are optionally subjected to necropsy at the end of the experiment. Another animal model is implantation into NOD-SCID mice of DoHH2, a cell line derived from human follicular lymphoma, that stably expresses luciferase. These in vivo tests optionally generate preliminary pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and toxicology data.
Clinical Trials.
To determine the suitability of the peptidomimetic macrocycles for treatment of humans, clinical trials are performed. For example, patients diagnosed with cancer and in need of treatment can be selected and separated in treatment and one or more control groups, wherein the treatment group is administered a peptidomimetic macrocycle, while the control groups receive a placebo or a known anti-cancer drug. The treatment safety and efficacy of the peptidomimetic macrocycles can thus be evaluated by performing comparisons of the patient groups with respect to factors such as survival and quality-of-life. In this example, the patient group treated with a peptidomimetic macrocyle can show improved long-term survival compared to a patient control group treated with a placebo.

Methods of Use
In one aspect, provided herein are novel peptidomimetic macrocycles that are useful in competitive binding assays to identify agents which bind to the natural ligand(s) of the proteins or peptides upon which the peptidomimetic macrocycles are modeled. For example, in the p53/MDMX system, labeled peptidomimetic macrocycles based on p53 can be used in a MDMX binding assay along with small molecules that competitively bind to MDMX. Competitive binding studies allow for rapid in vitro evaluation and determination of drug candidates specific for the p53/MDMX system. Such binding studies can be performed with any of the peptidomimetic macrocycles disclosed herein and their binding partners.
Further provided are methods for the generation of antibodies against the peptidomimetic macrocycles. In some embodiments, these antibodies specifically bind both the peptidomimetic macrocycle and the precursor peptides, such as p53, to which the peptidomimetic macrocycles are related. Such antibodies, for example, disrupt the native protein-protein interaction, for example, binding between p53 and MDMX.
In other aspects, provided herein are both prophylactic and therapeutic methods of treating a subject at risk of (or susceptible to) a disorder or having a disorder associated with aberrant (e.g., insufficient or excessive) expression or activity of the molecules including p53, MDM2 or MDMX.
In another embodiment, a disorder is caused, at least in part, by an abnormal level of p53 or MDM2 or MDMX, (e.g., over or under expression), or by the presence of p53 or MDM2 or MDMX exhibiting abnormal activity. As such, the reduction in the level and/or activity of p53 or MDM2 or MDMX, or the enhancement of the level and/or activity of p53 or MDM2 or MDMX, by peptidomimetic macrocycles derived from p53, is used, for example, to ameliorate or reduce the adverse symptoms of the disorder.
In another aspect, provided herein are methods for treating or preventing a disease including hyperproliferative disease and inflammatory disorder by interfering with the interaction or binding between binding partners, for example, between p53 and MDM2 or p53 and MDMX. These methods comprise administering an effective amount of a compound to a warm blooded animal, including a human. In some embodiments, the administration of one or more compounds disclosed herein induces cell growth arrest or apoptosis.
As used herein, the term “treatment” is defined as the application or administration of a therapeutic agent to a patient, or application or administration of a therapeutic agent to an isolated tissue or cell line from a patient, who has a disease, a symptom of disease or a predisposition toward a disease, with the purpose to cure, heal, alleviate, relieve, alter, remedy, ameliorate, improve or affect the disease, the symptoms of disease or the predisposition toward disease.

Peptidomimetic macrocycles were synthesized, purified and analyzed as previously described and as described below (Schafmeister et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122:5891-5892 (2000); Schafmeister & Verdine, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122:5891 (2005); Walensky et al., Science 305:1466-1470 (2004); and U.S. Pat. No. 7,192,713). Peptidomimetic macrocycles were designed by replacing two or more naturally occurring amino acids with the corresponding synthetic amino acids. Substitutions were made at i and i+4, and i and i+7 positions. Peptide synthesis was performed either manually or on an automated peptide synthesizer (Applied Biosystems, model 433A), using solid phase conditions, rink amide AM resin (Novabiochem), and Fmoc main-chain protecting group chemistry. For the coupling of natural Fmoc-protected amino acids (Novabiochem), 10 equivalents of amino acid and a 1:1:2 molar ratio of coupling reagents HBTU/HOBt (Novabiochem)/DIEA were employed. Non-natural amino acids (4 equiv) were coupled with a 1:1:2 molar ratio of HATU (Applied Biosystems)/HOBt/DIEA. The N-termini of the synthetic peptides were acetylated, while the C-termini were amidated.
Purification of cross-linked compounds was achieved by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Varian ProStar) on a reverse phase C18 column (Varian) to yield the pure compounds. Chemical composition of the pure products was confirmed by LC/MS mass spectrometry (Micromass LCT interfaced with Agilent 1100 HPLC system) and amino acid analysis (Applied Biosystems, model 420A).
The following protocol was used in the synthesis of dialkyne-crosslinked peptidomimetic macrocycles, including SP662, SP663 and SP664. Fully protected resin-bound peptides were synthesized on a PEG-PS resin (loading 0.45 mmol/g) on a 0.2 mmol scale. Deprotection of the temporary Fmoc group was achieved by 3×10 min treatments of the resin bound peptide with 20% (v/v) piperidine in DMF. After washing with NMP (3×), dichloromethane (3×) and NMP (3×), coupling of each successive amino acid was achieved with 1×60 min incubation with the appropriate preactivated Fmoc-amino acid derivative. All protected amino acids (0.4 mmol) were dissolved in NMP and activated with HCTU (0.4 mmol) and DIEA (0.8 mmol) prior to transfer of the coupling solution to the deprotected resin-bound peptide. After coupling was completed, the resin was washed in preparation for the next deprotection/coupling cycle. Acetylation of the amino terminus was carried out in the presence of acetic anhydride/DIEA in NMP. The LC-MS analysis of a cleaved and deprotected sample obtained from an aliquot of the fully assembled resin-bound peptide was accomplished in order to verifying the completion of each coupling. In a typical example, tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) and triethylamine (2 ml) were added to the peptide resin (0.2 mmol) in a 40 ml glass vial and shaken for 10 minutes. Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (0.014 g, 0.02 mmol) and copper iodide (0.008 g, 0.04 mmol) were then added and the resulting reaction mixture was mechanically shaken 16 hours while open to atmosphere. The diyne-cyclized resin-bound peptides were deprotected and cleaved from the solid support by treatment with TFA/H2O/TIS (95/5/5 v/v) for 2.5 h at room temperature. After filtration of the resin the TFA solution was precipitated in cold diethyl ether and centrifuged to yield the desired product as a solid. The crude product was purified by preparative HPLC.
The following protocol was used in the synthesis of single alkyne-crosslinked peptidomimetic macrocycles, including SP665. Fully protected resin-bound peptides were synthesized on a Rink amide MBHA resin (loading 0.62 mmol/g) on a 0.1 mmol scale. Deprotection of the temporary Fmoc group was achieved by 2×20 min treatments of the resin bound peptide with 25% (v/v) piperidine in NMP. After extensive flow washing with NMP and dichloromethane, coupling of each successive amino acid was achieved with 1×60 min incubation with the appropriate preactivated Fmoc-amino acid derivative. All protected amino acids (1 mmol) were dissolved in NMP and activated with HCTU (1 mmol) and DIEA (1 mmol) prior to transfer of the coupling solution to the deprotected resin-bound peptide. After coupling was completed, the resin was extensively flow washed in preparation for the next deprotection/coupling cycle. Acetylation of the amino terminus was carried out in the presence of acetic anhydride/DIEA in NMP/NMM. The LC-MS analysis of a cleaved and deprotected sample obtained from an aliquot of the fully assembled resin-bound peptide was accomplished in order to verifying the completion of each coupling. In a typical example, the peptide resin (0.1 mmol) was washed with DCM. Resin was loaded into a microwave vial. The vessel was evacuated and purged with nitrogen. Molybdenumhexacarbonyl (0.01 eq, Sigma Aldrich 199959) was added. Anhydrous chlorobenzene was added to the reaction vessel. Then 2-fluorophenol (1 eq, Sigma Aldrich F12804) was added. The reaction was then loaded into the microwave and held at 130° C. for 10 minutes. Reaction may need to be pushed a subsequent time for completion. The alkyne metathesized resin-bound peptides were deprotected and cleaved from the solid support by treatment with TFA/H2O/TIS (94/3/3 v/v) for 3 h at room temperature. After filtration of the resin the TFA solution was precipitated in cold diethyl ether and centrifuged to yield the desired product as a solid. The crude product was purified by preparative HPLC.

For co-crystallization with peptide 46 (Table 2b), a stoichiometric amount of compound from a 100 mM stock solution in DMSO was added to the zebrafish MDMX protein solution and allowed to sit overnight at 4° C. before setting up crystallization experiments. Procedures were similar to those described by Popowicz et al. with some variations, as noted below. Protein (residues 15-129, L46V/V95L) was obtained from an E. coli BL21(DE3) expression system using the pET15b vector. Cells were grown at 37° C. and induced with 1 mM IPTG at an OD600 of 0.7. Cells were allowed to grow an additional 18 hr at 23° C. Protein was purified using Ni-NT Agarose followed by Superdex 75 buffered with 50 mM NaPO4, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM TCEP and then concentrated to 24 mg/ml. The buffer was exchanged to 20 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 50 mM NaCl, 2 mM DTT for crystallization experiments. Initial crystals were obtained with the Nextal (Qiagen) AMS screen #94 and the final optimized reservoir was 2.6 M AMS, 75 mM Hepes, pH 7.5. Crystals grew routinely as thin plates at 4° C. and were cryo-protected by pulling them through a solution containing concentrated (3.4 M) malonate followed by flash cooling, storage, and shipment in liquid nitrogen.
Data collection was performed at the APS at beamline 31-ID (SGX-CAT) at 100° K. and wavelength 0.97929 Å. The beamline was equipped with a Rayonix 225-HE detector. For data collection, crystals were rotated through 180° in 1° increments using 0.8 second exposure times. Data were processed and reduced using Mosflm/scala (CCP4; see The CCP4 Suite: Programs for Protein Crystallography. Acta Crystallogr. D50, 760-763 (1994); P. R. Evans. Joint CCP4 and ESF-EACBM Newsletter 33, 22-24 (1997)) in space group C2 (unit cell: a=109.2786, b=81.0836, c=30.9058 Å, α=90, β=89.8577, γ=900). Molecular replacement with program Molrep (CCP4; seeA.Vagin & A. Teplyakov. J. Appl. Cryst. 30, 1022-1025 (1997)) was perfomed with the MDMX component of the structure determined by Popowicz et al. (2Z5S; see G. M. Popowicz, A. Czarna, U. Rothweiler, A. Szwagierczak, M. Krajewski, L. Weber & T. A. Holak. Cell Cycle 6, 2386-2392 (2007)) and identified two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Initial refinement of just the two molecules of the zebrafish MDMX with program Refmac (CCP4; see G. N. Murshudov, A. A. Vagin & E. J. Dodson. Acta Crystallogr. D53, 240-255 (1997)) resulted in an R-factor of 0.3424 (Rfree=0.3712) and rmsd values for bonds (0.018 Å) and angles (1.698°). The electron density for the stapled peptide components, starting with Gln19 and including all of the aliphatic staple, was very clear. Further refinement with CNX (Accelrys) using data to 2.3 Å resolution resulted in a model (comprised of 1448 atoms from MDMX, 272 atoms from the stapled peptides and 46 water molecules) that is well refined (Rf=0.2601, Rfree=0.3162, rmsd bonds=0.007 Å and rmsd angles=0.916°).

Peptide solutions were analyzed by CD spectroscopy using a Jasco J-815 spectropolarimeter (Jasco Inc., Easton, Md.) with the Jasco Spectra Manager Ver.2 system software. A Peltier temperature controller was used to maintain temperature control of the optical cell. Results are expressed as mean molar ellipticity [θ] (deg cm2 dmol-1) as calculated from the equation [θ]=θobs·MRW/10*l*c where θobs is the observed ellipticity in millidegrees, MRW is the mean residue weight of the peptide (peptide molecular weight/number of residues), l is the optical path length of the cell in centimeters, and c is the peptide concentration in mg/ml. Peptide concentrations were determined by amino acid analysis. Stock solutions of peptides were prepared in benign CD buffer (20 mM phosphoric acid, pH 2). The stocks were used to prepare peptide solutions of 0.05 mg/ml in either benign CD buffer or CD buffer with 50% trifluoroethanol (TFE) for analyses in a 10 mm pathlength cell. Variable wavelength measurements of peptide solutions were scanned at 4° C. from 195 to 250 nm, in 0.2 nm increments, and a scan rate 50 nm per minute. The average of six scans was reported.

Thermo Scientific* BioImage p53-MDM2 Redistribution Assay monitors the protein interaction with MDM2 and cellular translocation of GFP-tagged p53 in response to drug compounds or other stimuli. Recombinant CHO-hIR cells stably express human p53(1-312) fused to the C-terminus of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and PDE4A4-MDM2(1-124), a fusion protein between PDE4A4 and MDM2(1-124). They provide a ready-to-use assay system for measuring the effects of experimental conditions on the interaction of p53 and MDM2. Imaging and analysis is performed with a HCS platform.
CHO-hIR cells are regularly maintained in Ham's F12 media supplemented with 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin, 0.5 mg/ml Geneticin, 1 mg/ml Zeocin and 10% FBS. Cells seeded into 96-well plates at the density of 7000 cells/100 μl per well 18-24 hours prior to running the assay using culture media. The next day, media is refreshed and PD177 is added to cells to the final concentration of 3 μM to activate foci formation. Control wells are kept without PD-177 solution. 24 h post stimulation with PD177, cells are washed once with Opti-MEM Media and 50 μL of the Opti-MEM Media supplemented with PD-177 (6 μM) is added to cells. Peptides are diluted from 10 mM DMSO stocks to 500 μM working stocks in sterile water, further dilutions made in 0.5% DMSO to keep the concentration of DMSO constant across the samples. Final highest DMSO concentration is 0.5% and is used as the negative control. Cayman Chemicals Cell-Based Assay (−)-Nutlin-3 (10 mM) is used as positive control. Nutlin was diluted using the same dilution scheme as peptides. 50 μl of 2× desired concentrations is added to the appropriate well to achieve the final desired concentrations. Cells are then incubated with peptides for 6 h at 37 C in humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. Post-incubation period, cells are fixed by gently aspirating out the media and adding 150 μl of fixing solution per well for 20 minutes at room temperature. Fixed cells are washed 4 times with 200 μl PBS per well each time. At the end of last wash, 100 μl of 1 μM Hoechst staining solution is added.

A xenograft study was performed to test the efficacy of SP315, SP249 and SP154 in inhibiting tumor growth in athymic mice in the MCF-7 breast cancer xenograft model. A negative control stapled peptide. SP252, a point mutation of SP154 (F to A at position 19) was also tested in one group; this peptide had shown no activity in the SJSA-1 in vitro viability assay. Slow release 90 day 0.72 mg 17β-estradiol pellets (Innovative Research, Sarasota, Fla.) were implanted subcutaneously (sc) on the nape of the neck one day prior to tumor cell implantation (Day −1). On Day 0, MCF-7 tumor cells were implanted sc in the flank of female nude (Crl:NU-Foxn1nu) mice. On Day 18, the resultant sc tumors were measured using calipers to determine their length and width and the mice were weighed. The tumor sizes were calculated using the formula (length×width2)/2 and expressed as cubic millimeters (mm3). Mice with tumors smaller than 85.3 mm3 or larger than 417.4 mm3 were excluded from the subsequent group formation. Thirteen groups of mice, 10 mice per group, were formed by randomization such that the group mean tumor sizes were essentially equivalent (mean of groups±standard deviation of groups=180.7±17.5 mm3).
SP315, SP249, SP154 and SP252 dosing solutions were prepared from peptides formulated in a vehicle containing MPEG(2K)-DSPE at 50 mg/mL concentration in a 10 mM Histidine buffered saline at pH 7. This formulation was prepared once for the duration of the study. This vehicle was used as the vehicle control in the subsequent study.
Each group was assigned to a different treatment regimen. Group 1, as the vehicle negative control group, received the vehicle administered at 8 mL/kg body weight intravenously(iv) three times per week from Days 18-39. Groups 2 and 3 received SP154 as an iv injection at 30 mg/kg three times per week or 40 mg/kg twice a week, respectively. Group 4 received 6.7 mg/kg SP249 as an iv injection three times per week. Groups 5, 6, 7 and 8 received SP315 as an iv injection of 26.7 mg/kg three times per week, 20 mg/kg twice per week, 30 mg/kg twice per week, or 40 mg/kg twice per week, respectively. Group 9 received 30 mg/kg SP252 as an iv injection three times per week.
During the dosing period the mice were weighed and tumors measured 1-2 times per week. Results in terms of tumor volume are shown in
For SP154, in the group dosed with 40 mg/kg twice a week 2 mice died during treatment, indicating that this dosing regimen was not tolerable. The dosing regimen of 30 mg/kg of SP154 three times per week was well-tolerated and yielded a TGI of 84%.
For SP249, the group dosed with 6.7 mg/kg three times per week 4 mice died during treatment, indicating that this dosing regimen was not tolerable.
All dosing regimens used for SP315 showed good tolerability, with no body weight loss or deaths noted. Dosing with 40 mg/kg of SP315 twice per week produced the highest TGI (92%). The dosing regimens of SP315 of 26.7 mg/kg three times per week, 20 mg/kg twice per week, 30 mg/kg twice per week produced TGI of 86, 82, and 85%, respectively.
For SP252, the point mutation of SP154 which shows no appreciable activity in in vitro assays, dosing with 30 mg/kg three times per week was well-tolerated with no body weight loss or deaths noted. While TGI of 88% was noted by Day 32, that TGI was reduced to 41% by Day 39.

Peptidomimetic macrocyles are first dissolved in neat N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA, Sigma-Aldrich, 38840-1L-F) to make 20× stock solutions over a concentration range of 20-140 mg/mL. The DMA stock solutions are diluted 20-fold in an aqueous vehicle containing 2% Solutol-HS-15, 25 mM Histidine, 45 mg/mL Mannitol to obtain final concentrations of 1-7 mg/ml of the peptidomimetic macrocycles in 5% DMA, 2% Solutol-HS-15, 25 mM Histidine, 45 mg/mL Mannitol. The final solutions are mixed gently by repeat pipetting or light vortexing, and then the final solutions are sonicated for 10 min at room temperature in an ultrasonic water bath. Careful visual observation is then performed under hood light using a 7× visual amplifier to determine if precipitate exists on the bottom or as a suspension. Additional concentration ranges are tested as needed to determine the maximum solubility limit for each peptidomimetic macrocycle.
Results from this Example are shown in
Peptidomimetic macrocycle precursors were prepared as described in Example 2 comprising an R8 amino acid at position “i” and an S5 amino acid at position “i+7”. The amino acid at position “i+3” was a Boc-protected tryptophan which was incorporated during solid-phase synthesis. Specifically, the Boc-protected tryptophan amino acid shown below (and commercially available, for example, from Novabiochem) was using during solid phase synthesis:
Metathesis was performed using a ruthenium catalyst prior to the cleavage and deprotection steps. The composition obtained following cyclization was determined by HPLC analysis to contain primarily peptidomimetic macrocycles having a crosslinker comprising a trans olefin (“iso2”, comprising the double bond in an E configuration). Unexpectedly, a ratio of 90:10 was observed for the trans and cis products, respectively.
