Tripeptide derivatives and their application in assaying enzymes

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to tripeptide derivatives which are very easily split by certain enzymes of the enzyme class 3.4.21., more particularly factor Xa. Therefore, the new tripeptide derivatives are intended to be used as substrates for quantitatively assaying the said enzymes, more particularly factor Xa.
BACKGROUND ART
Factor Xa is a proteolytic enzyme which is formed in the blood coagulation cascade by activation of the proenzyme factor X and which, together with phospholipid and calcium ions, proteolytically splits factor II (prothrombin) at two points of the peptide chain and converts the said factor into factor IIa (thrombin) which finally causes coagulation. In certain pathological disorders, e.g. liver diseases, vitamin deficiency, etc., and in the dicoumarol therapy, the formation of factor X is reduced. In hereditary disturbances in the synthesis of factor X the formation of factor Xa is, of course, also reduced correspondingly. Therefore, it is important to have at one's disposal a direct enzymatic assay method which allows factor Xa to be assayed photometrically in blood plasma in a simple and accurate manner.
The main methods for assaying factor Xa are the following:
(a) Biological assay method [cf. "Thrombosis and Bleeding Disorders", Nils U. Bang, Georg Thieme Verlag, p. 196 (1971)]: Factor X is activated to factor Xa by means of venom of Russel viper and calcium ions. In a onestep operation prothrombin is activated to thrombin by factor Xa in the presence of factor V and phospholipids, and thrombin converts indicator fibrinogen into fibrin. The clotting time is measured. The required factors II and V and fibrinogen are supplied by a substrate which is free from factor X. The clotting time is influenced by the degree of activation of factor X. The activation degree, under otherwise constant conditions, is a function of the concentration of factor X in the sample. This biological method allows no more than a rough assay to be carried out since the clotting time is read off subjectively by the experimentator. Furthermore, manipulated plasma is required during the preparation of which mistakes can occur. Moreover, the fibrinogen which is acting as an indicator is not formed directly, but via activated thrombin (indirect method).
(b) Biochemical mehod [cf. "Thrombosis and Bleeding Disorders", N.U. Bang, Georg Thieme Verlag, p. 196/7 (1971)]: If the factor X preparations to be tested are sufficiently pure, a more accurate assay method can be applied. Esnouf and Williams (1962) have shown that factor Xa has an esterase activity and hence splits synthetic amino acid esters. However, 50 to 100 .mu.g of factor X are required for this assay. On the other hand, lower concentrations of factor Xa can be determined by using carbobenzoxy-phenylalaninep-nitrophenyl ester and measuring the quantity of p-nitrophenol released per time unit. This assaying method has the following disadvantages: The ester used undergoes an autohydrolysis at the applied pH of 8 and, moreover, is not specific for factor Xa since it responds also to many other enzymes. The ester is not soluble in water so that acetone is required. As a result of all these disadvantages this assaying method is inaccurate and costly.
(c) The published German patent application OS No. 25 52 570 discloses tetrapeptide derivatives which are intended to be used as substrates for assaying factor Xa. B z-Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-pNA.HCl is disclosed as an example of a tetrapeptide derivative which is split by factor Xa with formation of p-nitroaniline. The formation of p-nitroaniline can be followed spectrophotometrically. This method of assaying factor Xa is somewhat more accurate than the above-described biological and biochemical assaying methods.
However, the tetrapeptide derivatives described in German patent application DE-OS No. 25 52 570 are not sufficiently soluble in aqueous media to allow the assay of factor Xa to be carried out at substrate saturation. In the case where extremely low concentrations of factor Xa have to be determined, e.g. in pathological plasma, the said tetrapeptide derivatives are not sufficiently sensitive to allow reasonably accurate measuring values to be obtained. If the quantity of factor Xa to be measured were increased by adding a further quantity of plasma, a precipitation of the tetrapeptide substrate would take place under the influence of plasmaproteins, and as a result it would be impossible to perform the enzyme assay.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
Now, new tripeptide derivatives were found which are very easily soluble in aqueous media and which have a surprisingly high sensitivity to factor Xa.
The tripeptide derivatives of the invention have the following general formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 represents an alkanoyl group which has 2 to 8 carbon atoms and which may carry an amino group in the .omega.-position, a phenylalkanoyl group which has 2 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkanoyl radical and the phenyl radical of which may be substituted with an amino group in the p-position, a cyclohexylcabonyl group which may be substituted with an aminomethyl radical in the 4-position, a benzoyl group which may be substituted with methyl, amino or halogen, e.g. Cl or Br, in the o- or p-position, an alkoxycarbonyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the alkoxy group, a benzyloxycarbonyl group which may be substituted with methoxy, methyl or chlorine in the p-position, an alkanesulfonyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a phenylsulfonyl group which may be methylated in the p-position or an .alpha.-naphthylsulfonyl group,
R.sup.2 represents a straight-chained or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 6, preferably 1 to 4, carbon atoms, a hydroxyalkyl radical having 1 to 2 carbon atoms, an alkoxyalkyl radical having 1 to 2 carbon atoms in the alkyl and 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkoxy, a benzyloxyalkyl radical having 1 to 2 carbon atoms in the alkyl, an .omega.-carboxyalkyl or .omega.-alkoxycarbonylalkyl radical which has 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the alkyl and the alkoxy group of which is straight-chained or branched and has 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an .omega.-benzyloxycarbonylalkyl radical having 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the alkyl, or a cyclohexyl-, cyclohexylemthyl-, 4-hydroxycyclohexylmethylphenyl-, benzyl-, 4-hydroxybenzyl- or imidazol-4-yl-methyl radical,
R.sup.3 represents a straight-chained or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
R.sup.4 represents hydrogen or a methyl or ethyl radical, and
R.sup.5 represents an amino group which is substituted with aromatic or heterocyclic radicals and which is capable of being split off hydrolytically with formation of a coloured or fluorescent compound H--R.sup.5.
Preferably, the strongly basic guanidino group of arginine is stabilized, e.g. by protonation with a mineral acid such as HCl, HBr, H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 or H.sub.3 PO.sub.4, or an organic acid such as formic, acetic, propionic, lactic, citric, oxalic, tartaric, benzoic, phthalic, trichloroacetic or trifluoroacetic acid. The nature of protonation has no influence whatsoever on the sensitivity (susceptibility) of the tripeptide substrate to the enzymes.
The removable chromogenic group represented by R.sup.5 in formula I can be, e.g., a p-nitrophenylamino, 1-carboxy-2-nitrophen-5-yl-amino, 1-sulfo-2-nitrophen-5-yl-amino, .mu.-naphthylamino, 4-methoxy-.mu.-naphthylamino, 5-nitro-.alpha.-naphthylamino, quinon-5-yl-amino, 8-nitro-quinon-5-yl-amino, 4-methyl-coumar-7-yl-amino or 1,3-di(methoxycarbonyl)-phen-5-yl-amino group (derived from 5-amino-isophthalic acid dimethyl ester).
The tripeptide derivatives of formula I can be prepared according to methods known per se which are described hereinafter:
(1) The chromogenic group R.sup.5 is attached to the carboxy group of the C-terminal arginine, whilst its .alpha.-amino group is protected by a protective group, e.g. a carbobenzoxy or tert.-butoxycarbonyl group, and the .delta.-guanidyl group of arginine is protected by protonation, e.g. with HCl, nitration or tosylation. The C-terminal group R.sup.5 -serves also as a protective groups during the stepwise building up of the peptide chain. The remaining protective groups can be removed selectively as needed in order to attach the next amino acid derivatives until the desired peptide chain is completely built up. Finally, the remaining protective groups can be entirely removed without group R.sup.5 -being affected (cf. e.g. Miklos Bodansky et al., "Peptide Synthesis", Interscience Publishers, p. 163-165, 1966).
(2) First of all, the peptide chain is built up (according to Bodansky, loc. cit.) whilst the C-terminal carboxyl group of arginine is protected by a usual ester group, e.g. a methoxy, ethoxy or benzyloxy group. The ester groups can be removed by alkaline hydrolysis, except for the tert.-butoxy group which has to be removed selectively by means of trifluoroacetic acid. If the .delta.-guanidyl group of arginine is protonated, the said ester group is removed by trypsin, no racemization taking place in this case. Thereafter, the chromogenic group R.sup.5 is introduced. If the .delta.-guanidino group of arginine is protected by a nitro or tosyl group and the N-terminal .alpha.-amino group of the tripeptide derivative is protected by a carbobenzoxy group or a p-methyl, p-methoxy or p-chloro-benzyloxycarbonyl group, or a tert.-butoxy group, all these protective groups are removed simultaneously. The removal can be achieved by treating the protected tripeptide derivative with anhydrous HF at room temperature, and as a result all the above-mentioned amino and .delta.-guanidino protective groups are removed. The removal can also be carried out by treatment with 2N HBr in glacial acetic at room temperature if the protected tripeptide derivative does not contain any nitro or tosyl as protective groups.
The tripeptide derivative of formula I are substantially more readily soluble in water than the tetrapeptide derivatives described in German patent application DE-OS No. 25 52 570 and thus allow the enzyme assays to be carried out at substrate saturation required for obtaining reliable measuring results. Besides, the tripeptide substrates of formula I are significantly more sensitive than the tetrapeptide derivatives disclosed in German patent application DE-OS No. 25 52 570 and can, therefore, also be used for assaying extremely low concentrations of factor Xa.
The published Dutch patent application OS No. 76 07 433 discloses tripeptide derivatives having the general formula H--D--A.sub.1 --A.sub.2 -A.sub.3 -NH--R(A.sub.1, A.sub.2, A.sub.3 =amino acid radicals) which have a high sensitivity to enzymes of enzyme class E.C. 3.4.21., e.g. thrombin and plasmin. This high sensitivity is attributed to the fact that the N-terminal D-amino acid has an unsubstituted .alpha.-amino group. Indeed, if the .alpha.-amino group of the N-terminal D-amino acid is substituted, i.e. if the hydrogen in the formula is replaced by a protective or blocking group, e.g. by benzoyl or carbobenzoxy, the sensitivity of the tripeptide derivative to enzymes of enzyme class 3.4.21. is drastically reduced. On the grounds of these findings one could have expected that the new tripeptide derivatives of formula I wherein the .alpha.-amino group of the N-terminal D-amino acid carries a protective or blocking group would not or only slightly be split by enzymes of enzme class 3.4.21. However, contrary to all expectations, the new tripeptide substrates surprisingly have a very high sensitivity to factor Xa.
A further advantage of the tripeptide substrates of the invention as compared to the tetrapeptide derivatives disclosed in German patent application DE-OS No. 25 52 570 resides in the fact that their synthesis is simpler and less costly.
The tripeptide substrates of the invention can be used for quantitively assaying certain enzymes of enzyme class E.C. 3.4.21. (c. "Enzyme Nomenclature", Elsevier Scientific Publishing Company, Amsterdam, 1973, p. 238 ff.), e.g. factor Xa in blood plasma, and via factor Xa also for the quantitative assay of other biologically important factors, e.g. factor X (proenzyme of factor Xa), antifactor Xa (=antithrombin III or heparin cofactor) or heparin in blood plasma.
These various assays can be carried out in the manner described hereinafter:
(1) Assay of factor Xa and factor X:
Citrated human plasma is used and first activated with Russel viper venom (RVV=Russel viper venom) in order to convert factor X present in the plasma into factor Xa. The following reagents are used:
Buffer: TRIS-imidazole buffer, pH 8.4, ionic strength 0.3;
RVV: Freeze-dried Russel viper venom preparation (furnished by Laboratoire Stago, 92600 Asniers s/Seine, France), dissolved in 2 ml of buffer containing CaCl.sub.2 at a concentration of 0.015 M
Substrate--Cbo-D-Leu-Sar-ARg-pNA.AcOH, dissolved in distilled H.sub.2 O, concentration: 2.times.10.sup.-3 M.
A test cuvette is charged with 0.2 ml of RVV reagent heated to 37.degree. C. and then with 0.02 ml of human citrated plasma. The two components are immediately mixed and then incubated for 60 seconds at 37.degree. C. The resulting activation mixture is diluted with 1.6 ml of buffer heated to 37.degree. C. and mixed with 0.2 ml of 2.times.10.sup.-3 M substrate solution. Then, the change in the optical density of the mixture caused by the released p-nitroaniline is measured, spectrophotometrically at a wave length of 405 nm. The measured increase in the optical density per minute is directly proportional to the quantity of factor Xa present in the activated plasma. The measured increase in the optical density per minute is also a measure for the quantity of factor X present in the starting plasma since as a result of the activation a given quantity of factor X is converted stoichiometrically into the corresponding quantity of factor Xa.
(2) Assay of antifactor Xa:
A test is prepared by diluting citrated human plasma with TRIS-imidazole buffer at a ratio of 1:10. 100 .mu.l of a heparin solution in TRIS-imidazole buffer (containing 3 USP units of heparin per ml of buffer) are added to 100 .mu.l of the diluted plasma, and the mixture is incubated for 2 minutes at 37.degree. C. 100 .mu.l of a solution of factor Xa preparation "Diagen" (furnisher : Diagnostic Reagents, Thame, Great Britain) containing 8.5 units of factor Xa per ml are added to the incubate. The mixture is incubated for 3 minutes at 37.degree. C. The incubate is diluted with 0.6 ml of TRIS-imidazole buffer heated to 37.degree. C. and immediately mixed with 100 .mu.l of a 2.times.10.sup.-3 m solution of Cbo-D-Leu-Sar-ARg-pNA.AcOH (substrate) in distilled water heated to 37.degree. C.
In a parallel experiment a blank test sample is prepared in the same manner, but using the same volumetric quantity of buffer instead of diluted plasma.
The increase in the optical density at 405 nm is measured spectrophotometrically for both samples (test sample and blank sample). The difference between the increase in the optical density of the blank sample per minute (.DELTA.OD.sub.blank /min.) and the increase in the optical density of the test sample per min. C.alpha..sub.test /min.) is a measure for the quantity of factor Xa inhibited by the antifactor Xa-heparin complex and hence a measure for the quantity of antifactor Xa (=antithrombin III) present in the plasma.
(3) Assay of heparin in blood plasma:
A test sample is prepared by diluting plasma of a heparin-treated patient with TRIS-imidazole buffer at a ratio of 1:10. The diluted plasma is incubated for 1 to 2 minutes at 37.degree. C. 100 .mu.l of a solution of factor Xa preparation "Diagen" (furnisher : Diagnostic Reagents, Thame, Great Britain) containing 8.5 units of factor Xa per ml are added to 200 .mu.l of the incubate, and the mixture is incubated for 3 minutes at 37.degree. C. The incubate is diluted with 0.6 ml of TRIS-imidazole buffer heated to 37.degree. C. and immediately mixed with 100 .mu.l of a 2.times.10.sup.-3 M solution of Cbo-D-Leu-Sar-Arg-pNA.AcOH (substrate) in distilled water.
In a parallel experiment a blank test sample is prepared in the same manner, but using the same quantity of corresponding diluted normal plasma (heparin-free) instead of the diluted heparinized plasma.
The increase in the optical density per minute at 405 nm is measured spectrophotometrically for both samples. The difference between the increase in the optical density of the blank sample per minute (.DELTA.OD.sub.blank /min.) and the increase in the optical density of the test sample per minute .DELTA.OD.sub.test /min.) is a measure for the inhibitory activity of the heparin bound to heparin-cofactor (antithrombin III).
Antifactor Xa (=heparin-cofactor or antithrombin III) alone inhibits factor Xa but slowly so that only small quantities of factor Xa are inhibited within a short incubation period (e.g. 3 minutes). However, if antifactor Xa enters into contact with heparin, the two components form a complex which is a rapid inhibitor of factor Xa and which will completely combine with factor Xa within a short incubation time (e.g. 3 minutes).
Since the inhibition of factor Xa is proportional to the quantity of heparin present, as long as sufficient antifactor Xa is present, the quantity of heparin present in the patient's plasma can be determined by means of a calibration curve established with normal plasma and increasing quantities of added heparin on the grounds of the potentiating action of the added heparin.
In the measurement of the quantity of the coloured split product H--R.sup.5 (p-nitroaniline) released in the reaction between factor Xa and the tripeptide derivatives (substrates) of the invention advantage is taken of the fact that the split product has an UV spectrum which differs from that of the substrate and is shifted towards higher wave lengths. The substrates of the invention have an absorption maximum at about 310 nm and a molar extinction coefficient of about 13,000. The absorption of the substrate at 405 nm is virtually nil. The split product H--R.sup.5, i.e. p-nitroaniline, formed by enzymatic hydrolysis of the substrate has an absorption maximum at 380 nm and a molar extinction coefficient of about 13,200. At 405 nm the extinction coefficient is only moderately reduced, i.e. to about 10,400.
In the case of substrates which contain a .beta.-naphthylamino, 4-methoxy-.beta.-naphthylamino, coumar-7-yl-amino or isophthalylamino group as the chromogenic group, the quantity of split product H--R.sup.5 released by factor Xa is measured by fluorescence-spectrophotometry. In a test system comprising factor Xa, buffer and substrate the energy-poorer emitted light is continuously measured at 400 to 470 nm after the fluorescent split product has been continuously excited by energy-richer light at 300 to 400 nm. The quantity of split product formed per time unit is a measure for the existing factor Xa activity. According to definition 1 .mu.mole of split product formed per minute corresponds to 1 enzyme unit of factor Xa, as based on a given substrate.
The sensitivity of the above-described assaying methods can be further increased by converting the split product H--R.sup.5, before measurement of its quantity, into a more intensely coloured compound by coupling with a diazo compound in the case where R.sup.5 is a p-nitrophenylamino, 1-carboxy-2-nitro-phen-5-yl-amino, 1-sulfo-2-nitro-phen-5-yl-amino, 5-nitro-.alpha.-naphthylamino or 8-nitro-quinon-5-yl-amino group.

In a 250 ml three-necked flask 16.0 g (47 mM) of 5 Cbo-Arg-OH.HCl, which has been dried in vacuo over P.sub.2 O.sub.5, were dissolved in 90 ml of abs. HMPTA at 20.degree. in the absence of humidity. To the resulting solution there was added at room temperature first a solution of 4.74 g (47.0 mM) of Et.sub.3 N in 10 ml of HMPTA and then portionwise 16.4 g (100 mM) of p-nitrophenyl isocyanate (100% excess). After a reaction time of 24 hours at 20.degree. the major portion of HMPTA was removed by distillation in vacuo. The residue was extracted several times with 30% AcOH. The residue was discarded. The combined AcOH extracts were futher purified by passing them through a column of "Sephadex G-15" equilibrated with 30% AcOH and eluted with 30% AcOH.

The values of the factor Xa activity given in Table 4 were determined experimentally in the manner described hereinafter:
For determining the activity of bovine factor Xa 1.8 ml of TRIS-imidazole buffer having a pH of 8.4 and an ionic strength of 0.3 was well mixed at 37.degree. C. with 0.025 ml of an aqueous solution of factor Xa preparation "Diagen" (furnisher: Diagnostic Reagents Ltd., Thame, Great Britain) obtained by dissolving the contents of one vial in 0.5 ml of water. To the mixture there was added 0.2 ml of a 2.times.10.sup.-3 M aqueous solution of a substrate of the invention. Thereafter, the quantity of split product H--R.sup.5 in nanomoles released per minute was determined, and the corresponding value of 1 ml of factor Xa solution was calculated.
For determining the activity of human factor Xa 0.01 ml of normal citrated plasma was mixed with 0.20 ml of a solution of Russel viper venom in TRIS-imidazole buffer having a pH of 8.4 and an ionic strength of 0.3 and containing 15 mmoles of CaCl.sub.2 per ml. The mixture was incubated for 75 seconds at 37.degree. C. in order to activate factor X present in the plasma and convert it completely into factor Xa. To the incubate there was added first 1.40 ml of TRIS-imidazole buffer (pH 8.4, ionic strength 0.3) heated to 37.degree. C. and then 0.40 ml of a 2.times.10.sup.-3 M aqueous solution of a substrate of the invention. Thereafter, the quantity of split produce H--R.sup.5 in nanomoles released per minute was determined, and the corresponding value for 1 ml of citrated plasma was calculated.
