Design and synthesis of conformationally constrained somatostatin analogs with high potency and specificity for .mu. opioid receptors
摘要:
A series of cyclic, conformationally constrained peptides related to somatostatin were designed and synthesized in an effort to develop highly selective and potent peptides for the mu opioid receptor. The following new peptides were prepared and tested for their mu opioid receptor potency and selectively in rat brain binding assays: D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Orn-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (2, CTOP); D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Arg-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (3, CTAP); D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Nle-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (4); D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Val-Pen-Thr-NH2 (5); D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Gly-Pen-Thr-NH2 (6); D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-Trp-Lys-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (7); D-Tyr-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys-Thr-OH (8); D-PhGly-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (9); and D-PhGly-Pen-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys-Thr-OH (10). The most selective peptide, 2 (CTOP), displayed both high affinity (IC50 = 3.5 nM) and exceptional selectivity (IC50 delta/IC50 mu = 4,000) for mu opioid receptors. Furthermore, 2 exhibited very low affinity for somatostatin receptors in the rat brain (IC50 greater than 24,000 nM), with an IC50 somatostatin/IC50 mu receptor selectivity of 8,750. These conformationally constrained cyclic peptides should provide new insight into the structural and conformational requirements for the mu opioid receptor and the physiological role of this receptor.

describe a new class of potent and selective μ opioid receptorantagonists and demonstrate a new approach for the design of receptor specific ligands by which a low affinity, “non-physiological” activity of a natural peptide hormone is converted to a high potency, receptor selective ligand for that receptor, and, at the same time, eliminates the activity at the natural receptors for the peptide.

Topographically constrained analogues of the highly mu-opioid-receptor-selective antagonist CTAP (H-D-Phe-c[Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Arg-Thr-Pen]-Thr-NH2, 1) were prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis. Replacement of the D-Phe residue with conformationally biased beta-methyl derivatives of phenylalanine or tryptophan (2R,3R; 2R,3S; 2S,3R; 2S,3S) yielded peptides that displayed widely varying types of biological activities. In an effort to correlate the observed biological activities of these analogues with their structures, two-dimensional H-1 NMR and molecular modeling was performed. Unlike the parent (1), which is essentially a pure mu antagonist with weak delta agonist activities in the MVD bioassay, the diastereomeric beta-MePhe(1)-containing peptides exhibited simultaneous delta agonism and mu antagonism by the (2R,3R)-containing isomer 2; mu antagonism by the (2R,3S)-containing isomer 3; weak mu agonism by the (2S,3R)-containing isomer 4; and delta agonism by the (2S,3S)-containing isomer 5. Incorporation of beta-MeTrp isomers into position 1 led to peptides that were mu antagonists (2R,3R), 8; (2R,3S), 9, or essentially inactive (<10%) in the MVD and GPI assays (2S,3R), 10; (2S,3S), 11. Interestingly, in vivo antinociceptive activity was predicted by neither MVD nor GPI bioactivity. When D-Trp was incorporated in position 1, the result (7) is a partial, yet relatively potent mu agonist which also displayed weak delta agonist activity. Molecular modeling based on 2D NMR revealed that low energy conformers of peptides with similar biological activities had similar aromatic pharmacophore orientations and interaromatic distances. Peptides that exhibit mu antagonism have interaromatic distances of 7.0-7.9 Angstrom and have their amino terminal aromatic moiety pointing in a direction opposite to the direction that the amino terminus points. Peptides with delta opioid activity displayed an interaromatic distance of <7 Angstrom and had their amino terminal aromatic moiety pointing in the same direction as the amino terminus.

We have recently reported the synthesis of several cyclic disulfide bridge-containing peptide analogues of dynorphin A (Dyn A), which were conformationally constrained in the putative address segment of the opioid ligand. Several of these analogues, bridged between positions 5 and 11 of Dyn A(1-11)-NH2, exhibited unexpected selectivities for the kappa and mu receptors of the central over the peripheral nervous systems. In order to further investigate the conformational and topographical requirements for the residues in positions 5 and 11 of these analogues, we have synthesized a systematic series of Dyn A(1-11)-NH2 analogues incorporating the sulfydryl containing amino acids L- and D-Cys and L- and D-Pen in positions 5 and 11, thus producing 16 cyclic peptides. In addition, Dyn A(1-11)-NH2, [D-Leu(5)]Dyn A(1-11)-NH2, and [D-Lys(11)]Dyn A(1-11)-NH2 were synthesized as standards. Several of these cyclic analogues, especially c[Cys(5), D-Cys(11)] Dyn A(1-11)-NH2, c[Cys(5), L- or D-Pen(11)]Dyn A(1-11)-NH2, c[Pen(5), L-Pen(11)]Dyn A(1-11)-NH2 and c[Pen(5), L- or D-Cys(11)]Dyn A(1-11)-NH2, retained the same affinity and selectivity (vs the mu and delta receptors) as the parent compound Dyn A(1-11)-NH2 in the guinea pig brain (GPB). These same analogues and most others exhibited a much lower activity in the guinea pig ileum (GPI), thus leading to centrally vs peripherally selective peptides, but showed a different structure-activity relationship than found previously. In a wider scope, this series of analogues also provided new insights into which amino acids (and their configurations) may be used in positions 5 and 11 of Dyn A analogues for high potency and good selectivity at kappa opioid receptors. The results obtained in the GPB suggest that requirements for binding are not the same for the kappa, mu, or delta central receptors.
