The present invention relates to polymyxin derivatives and preparation methods thereof, and the use of the prepared compounds for the production of antibacterial agents, in particular for those with expended antibacterial spectra, increased antibacterial activities, as well as reduced nephrotoxicities, including the use in the preparation of antibacterial agents against “superbugs” carrying the NDM-1 gene, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds as active ingredients. This invention belongs to the field of biomedicine.
Polymyxin was discovered in 1947, it is a general term for a series of cationic antibacterial peptides produced by Bacillus polymyxa. It has different types of structures, for example, types A, B, C, D, E, F, K, M, P, S and T. Their molecular weights are around 1200 D. The common structural features of polymyxins are: consisting of a cyclic heptapeptide, a linear tripeptide, and a side acyl chain linked to the linear tripeptide, wherein the heptapeptide ring is composed of the position-4 amino acid L-Dab (α, γ-diaminobutyric acid), condensed with position-10 amino acid L-Thr (or L-Leu). The main difference between different types of structures lies in the difference of amino acids at the 3, 6, 7 or 10 positions. Their antibacterial spectra are similar. By changing the cell membrane permeability of Gram-negative bacteria, the leakage of intracellular substances leads to bactericidal action.
Polymyxins have narrow antibacterial spectra. They are only effective against Gram-negative bacteria, besides, they have certain nephrotoxicity. Especially after the emergence of new broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs for example, third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems, their clinical use is gradually decreasing. Because in recent years, polymyxin has been found to be effective in the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae, they received clinical attention.
Currently, polymyxin B and colistin (polymyxin E) are used clinically, both of which are multi-component mixtures obtained by bacterial fermentation. According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition) specification of polymyxin B, the content of polymyxin B3 should not exceed 6.0%, the content of polymyxin B1-Ile should not exceed 15.0%. The total content of polymyxin B1, B2, B3 and B1-Ile shall not be less than 80.0%. At present, the compositions of polymyxin in clinical use is complex, the relative contents are uncertain, and they have certain nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity, which brings safety hazards to clinical medication. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to prepare single-component polymyxins and polymyxin derivatives and to study the biological functions of the polymyxins and polymyxin derivatives.
Regarding the chemical preparation method of polymyxin compounds, only those for polymyxin B and E has been reported in the literature, those for other polymyxin compounds are first reported in the present invention. The chemical preparation method of polymyxin B reported in the literature adopted solid phase condensation and liquid phase cyclization strategy. (Sharma S K, Wu A D, Chandramouli N, et al. Solid-phase total synthesis of polymyxin B1. J Pept Res, 1999, 53(5): 501-506, and Magee T V, Brown M F, Starr J T, et al. Discovery of Dap-3 polymyxin analogues for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative nosocomial infections. J Med Chem, 2013, 56(12): 5079-5093). In the reported method, a large amount of solvent is required for liquid phase cyclization, the product is not easily separated and purified, and the yield is about 20%, and the yield in the actual synthesis process is even lower. The polymyxin B1 synthesized by solid phase condensation and solid phase cyclization using Kenner's safety catch method was reperted in literature (de Visser P C, Kriek N M, van Hooft P A, et al. Solid-phase synthesis of polymyxin B1 and analogues via a safety-catch approach. J Pept Res, 2003, 61(6): 298-306), but the total yield was 1.5%. Preparation methods of polymyxin B2 and E2 using solid phase condensation and solid phase cyclization were reported in literature (Wei-Liang Xu, A-Long Cui, Xin-Xin Hu, et al. A new strategy for total solid-phase synthesis of polymyxins. Tetrahedron Letters, 2015, 56(33): 4796-4799.), with a yield of about 25%. WO2013156977A1 reported a method for solid phase synthesis of insulin by a lysine side chain amino linking resin. This invention employs solid phase condensation and solid phase cyclization method by using a protected basic amino acid similar in structure to lysine in Fmoc-AA-OP side chain amino linking resin, to synthesize polymyxin derivatives. In literature (Wei-Liang Xu, A-Long Cui, Xin-Xin Hu, et al. A new strategy for total solid-phase synthesis of polymyxins. Tetrahedron Letters, 2015, 56(33): 4796-4799.) HCTU/DIEA is used as a condensing agent. In the condensation process, DIEA enolizes the β-carbonyl group of the side chain carboxylic acid CH3(CH2)nCOCH2COOH of compound 3-7, which is prone to CH3(CH2)nCOCH2COOH intermolecular condensation reaction, compound 3-7 could not be obtained. The present synthesis method uses DIC/HOBT as a condensing agent, and it is not easy to generate an intermolecular condensation reaction of CH3(CH2)nCOCH2COOH, thereby being able to obtain compound 3-7 without addition of a base as a catalyst. The method has wide application range, avoids a large consumption of solvent by using liquid phase cyclization, is environmentally friendly, has high purity of crude polypeptide, the latter is easy to be separated and purified, the total yield is up to 40%.
Regarding the structural study of the natural components of polymyxins, the structural types of polymyxins A, B, D, E, M, P, S and T of natural origin are currently identified. The structure of many polymyxin natural products that have appeared in the literature has not been completely clarified, or the structure has been proved to be wrong. For example, the amino acid configuration of polymyxin C and F, as well as the structure of side chain acyl group of polymyxin K are all uncertain. Polymyxin A and M were originally thought to be compounds of the same structure. Later sdudy found that the position-3 amino acid configurations of polymyxin A and M were different, and so on (Terabe S, Konaka R, Shoji. J. Separation of polymyxins and octapeptins by high-performance liquid chromatography. J. Chromatogr. A. 1979, 173(2): 313-320. Shoji J, Hinoo H, Wakisaka Y, et al. Isolation of two new polymyxin group antibiotics. Studies on antibiotics from the genus Bacillus. XX). J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1977, 30(12): 1029-1034.). For the first time, this invention systematically synthesized single components with clarified structures in the polymyxin mixture of different structure types.
Regarding the study of the biological function of the single components of polymyxin antibiotics, the proportion of the main polymyxin components in clinical use is different among different brands. There are also dicrepancies of main component proportions even among the different batches of the same brand, resulting in instability of clinical efficacy (He J, Ledesma K R, Lam W Y, et al. Variability of polymyxin B major components in commercial formulations. Int J Antimicrob Agents. 2010, 35(3): 308-310. He H, Li J C, Nation R L, et al. Pharmacokinetics of four different brands of colistimethate and formed colistin in rats. J Antimicrob Chemother. 2013, 68(10): 2311-2317.) The natural components of polymyxin are complex. Tam et al. obtained the polymyxin B1, B2, B3, B4 and B1-Ile by preparative liquid chromatography, and tested in vitro antibacterial activity of single components for the first time. (Tam V H, Cao H, Ledesma K R, et al. In vitro potency of various polymyxin B components. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2011, 55(9): 4490-4491.) Except for the main component B1, B2, E1, E2 in clinical use have reports of antibacterial activity and nephrotoxicity (Roberts K D, Azad M A, Wang J, et al. Antimicrobial Activity and Toxicity of the Major Lipopeptide Components of Polymyxin B and Colistin: Last-Line Antibiotics against Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria. ACS Infect. Dis. 2015, 1(11): 568-575.), research on other components is mostly limited to reports of material discovery, for some components, even the structures were not very certain, systematic studies of the biological functions of each components are missing. The present invention is the first to study the biological function of single components of polymyxin antibiotics, in order to guide the rational and safe use of polymyxins in clinical treatment of bacterial infections.
Regarding the preparation of new derivatives of polymyxin, the present invention has for the first time prepared new derivatives with increased or decreased hydrophobicity of the side acyl chain (altering R0) by changing the length and volume of the side acyl chain, new derivatives with basic or polar amino acid replacing position-1 and/or -3 amino acids (altering R1 and/or R3), new derivatives with a hydrophobic amino acid or a polar amino acid replacing position-2 and/or -10 amino acids (altering R2 and/or R9), new derivatives with a hydrophobic or a basic or a polar amino acid replacing position-5 and/or -8 and/or -9 amino acids (altering R4, R7, R8), new derivatives with a hydrophobic amino acid or a polar amino acid replacing positions-6 and/or -7 amino acids (Changing R5, R6). By changing the number of the amino groups or hydrophobicity of the polymyxin molecules, the antibacterial spectrum is increased or the antibacterial activity increased or the nephrotoxicity lowered.
Regarding the biological function of polymyxin derivatives, the present invention studies the antibacterial activity and nephrotoxicity of polymyxin derivatives. In comparison with some positive controls, some polymyxin derivatives have higher antibacterial activities against Gram-positive bacteria, some have increased antibacterial activities against Gram-negative bacteria, some show reduced nephrotoxicity.
The invention relates to polymyxin derivatives and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a method for preparing a polymyxin derivative by solid phase condensation and solid phase cyclization. The invention also relates to the use of the compounds of the invention in the preparation of antibacterial agents, in particular to the preparation of antibacterial agents with expanded antibacterial spectra, increased antibacterial activity and decreased nephrotoxicity, including the preparation of antibacterial drugs against “superbug” carrying the NDM-1 gene.

Draw out the reaction solution by vacuum. The resin is washed three times with DMF and three times with DCM to give Fmoc-AA-OP-resin.
In the step (2), the coupling synthesis method is as follows: Fmoc-AA-OP-resin obtained by the reaction of the step (1) is treated with 20% piperidine/DMF (2 times, 10 minutes each time) to remove the α-amino Fmoc protector.

Dissolve PyAOP and HOAT in DMF, add to NMM, add to the peptide synthesis tube, reacte at room temperature for 3 h, and draw out the reaction solution by vacuum, wash three times with DMF then three times with DCM to obtain a protected cyclic polypeptide-resin.
In the step (4), the specific method to prepare the crude cyclic basic polypeptide by acid hydrolysis is for example as follows: add an acidolysis solution (TFA:H2O=95:5, volume ratio) to the polypeptide synthesis tube, carry out the acidolysis reaction at room temperature for 120 minutes. Add the acidolysis solution to cold ether (the ratio of TFA lysate to cold ether was 1:20), precipitate the peptide, centrifuge to dry the precipitate to obtain the crude peptide.
In the step (5), the specific method to purify the crude product, form a salt, and lyophilize the product is for example as follows: dissolve the crude product in water, filter through a 0.22 μm pore size filter, and purify by preparative high performance liquid chromatography, the chromatographic packing is 10 μm reversed C18, mobile phase A: 0.1% TFA/aqueous solution, mobile phase B: 0.1% TFA/acetonitrile solution, column dimentions: 22 mm×250 mm, flow rate: 10 mL/min, detection wavelength: 215 nm, using gradient elution and cycle injection purification. Inject crude product solution to the column, collect the fraction corresponding to the main peak in the chromatogram, and evaporate acetonitrile in the fraction to obtain an aqueous solution of the polymyxin derivative, lyophilize the solution to obtain the product.
The final purity achievable by this method is greater than 95.0%, for example greater than 99.0%. The yield was greater than 40.0% based on the charged resin.
