Template-Constrained Cyclic Peptides: Design of High-Affinity Ligands for GPIIb/IIIa
摘要:
Although peptides adopt a large ensemble of conformations in aqueous solution, they are generally believed to bind to a receptor in a unique conformation. Thus, there is considerable interest in devising methods to restrict the conformational freedom of peptides. One such approach involves tying the amino and carboxy terminal ends of the peptide onto a semirigid template that will lock the intervening peptide backbone into a single conformer or a family of related conformers. This general strategy has been tested using the tripeptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), which binds with low affinity to the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa or alpha(IIb)beta(3)) Mimics of RGD are of interest as antithrombotics because of their ability to inhibit the aggregation of platelets. Prior to this study, other workers (Samanen et al. J. Med. Chem. 1991, 34, 3114-3125) prepared a disulfide-containing cyclic pentapeptide that bound to GPIIb/IIIa with an affinity of approximately 0.1 mu M. NMR analysis of the solution conformation of this peptide suggested that replacing the disulfide-containing portion of the cycle with the amino acid m-(aminomethyl)benzoic acid would lead to a more rigid structure. Indeed, introduction of this template into a cyclic ROD-containing peptide resulted in compounds with high affinity for the receptor. Further, systematic inclusion of additional conformational constraints in the form of N-alpha- and C-alpha-alkyl groups led to a peptide with an affinity of approximately 100 pM for binding to the receptor. This peptide also showed good activity in the platelet aggregation assay at oral doses as low as 0.1 mg/kg.

An efficient synthesis of an antithrombotic cyclic peptide antagonist of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, cycle(D-Abu-N-a-methyl-Arg-Gly-Asp-m-(aminomethyl)benzoic acid) has been developed. In the course of this work an efficient and selective method has been developed for the synthesis of derivatives of N-a-methylarginine from Cbz-Gln. The carboxamide of Cbz-Gln is dehydrated to the corresponding nitrile, and the resulting compound is methylated providing Cbz-2-(methylamino)-4-cyanobutyric acid, a diprotected precursor of N-a-methylornithine. At a later point in the reaction sequence the nitrile is reduced to the amine and the resulting N-a-methylornithine derivative is guanylated, converting it to a derivative of N-a-methylarginine.

This invention discloses short chain peptides that have been constrained to adopt an alpha helical conformation and their use as alpha helical scaffolds for directing amino acid side chains into positions analogous to those found in longer chain alpha helical peptides and for attaching peptidic or non-peptidic appendages in order to mimic side chains of longer alpha helical peptides. More particularly the invention discloses alpha helical cyclic pentapeptides and their use as alpha helical scaffolds or macrocyclic alpha helical modules, either alone, or within longer chain peptides or attached to other macrocyclic peptides or attached to non-peptidic structures, for the purpose of mimicking naturally occurring peptides or proteins, and as agonists or antagonists of the biological activity of naturally-occurring peptides or proteins or for the preparation of new materials.
