Solid-Phase-Based Synthesis of Ureidopyrimidinone–Peptide Conjugates for Supramolecular Biomaterials
摘要:
Supramolecular polymers have shown to be powerful scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. Supramolecular biomaterials functionalized with ureidopyrimidinone (UPy) moieties, which dimerize via quadruple hydrogen-bond formation, are eminently suitable for this purpose. The conjugation of the UPy moiety to biologically active peptides ensures adequate integration into the supramolecular UPy polymer matrix. The structural complexity of UPy-peptide conjugates makes their synthesis challenging and until recently low yielding, thus restricted the access to structurally diverse derivatives. Here we report optimization studies of a convergent solid-phase based synthesis of UPy-modified peptides. The peptide moiety is synthesized using standard Fmoc solid-phase synthesis and the UPy fragment is introduced on the solid-phase simplifying the synthesis and purification of the final UPy-peptide conjugate. The convergent nature of the synthesis reduces the number of synthetic steps in the longest linear sequence compared to other synthetic approaches. We demonstrate the utility of the optimized route by synthesizing a diverse range of biologically active UPy-peptide bioconjugates in multimilligram scale for diverse biomaterial applications. 1 Introduction 2 Divergent Synthesis 3 Convergent Synthesis 4 UPy-Amine Strategy 5 UPy-Carboxylic Acid Strategy 6 Conclusion
challenge. By taking advantage of the emerging PROteolysis-TArgetingChimeras (PROTACs) approach, we have synthesized a potentPROTACdegrader PP-C8 based on the noncovalent dual inhibitors of CDK12/13 and demonstrated its specificity for CDK12 over CDK13. Notably, PP-C8 induces profound degradation of cyclin K simultaneously and downregulates the mRNA level of DNA-damage response genes. Global proteomics
细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶 12 (CDK12) 在 DNA 损伤反应基因转录中起着至关重要的作用,最近已被证实是癌症治疗中的一个有希望的靶点。然而,现有的 CDK12 抑制剂会有效抑制其最接近的同种型 CDK13,这可能会导致潜在的毒性。因此,开发对 CDK13 具有同种型选择性的 CDK12 抑制剂仍然是一个挑战。通过利用新兴的 PROteolysis-TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) 方法,我们合成了一种基于 CDK12/13 的非共价双重抑制剂的强效 PROTAC 降解剂PP-C8 ,并证明其对 CDK12 的特异性优于 CDK13。值得注意的是,PP-C8同时诱导细胞周期蛋白 K 的深度降解并下调 DNA 损伤反应基因的 mRNA 水平。全球蛋白质组学分析显示PP-C8对 CDK12-cyclin K 复合物具有高度选择性。重要的是,PP-C8与 PARP 抑制剂在三阴性乳腺癌

A range of norbornane based amphiphiles, which possess a rigid ‘kink’ in the centre of amphiphiles, were accessed via a concise four step synthesis. The self-assembly properties of these novel compounds were then investigated and the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), hydrodynamic diameter (DH) by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and their morphology by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryoTEM) and negatively stained transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were determined. These compounds while possessing similar CAC values (50–70 μM) exhibited a wide variety of particle size (60–140 nm) and morphologies, including vesicles, cigar-shaped aggregates and rod-like micelles. Considering the similarities in molecular structure we have proposed that the unique nature of the molecular ‘kink’ is affecting molecular assembly in which subtle changes in molecular structure have large ramifications on aggregate size and morphology.

A convenient method to prepare supramolecular bioconjugates in a facile and scalable manner is by a modular approach, whereby self-assembling units and peptides are coupled using oxime chemistry. We here report syntheses of bioactive ureidopyrimidinone-based peptide conjugates, and their resultant self-assembly into fibrous structures.

The present invention is directed to particle comprising a supramolecular complex comprising a monofunctional and/or a bifunctional subunit comprising a quadruple hydrogen bonding unit, an apolar linker, an urea group, and a polyethyleneglycol linker. The monofunctional subunits comprise a functional group. The particles are very suitable as drug delivery system as they bind and enter the cell and may have slow release properties.
