Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to a smart antimicrobial peptide that precisely identifies Gram-negative bacteria through phage receptor-specific recognition characteristics, gravitates towards the inflammatory environment, and triggers the self-assembly of nanostructures within the inflammatory microenvironment. This peptide is suitable for treating deep tissue infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, particularly biofilm-associated infections (such as catheter infections and chronic wounds), and its physical membrane-breaking mechanism can circumvent the target resistance problem of traditional antibiotics. Background Technology

[0002] The existing technology has the following drawbacks:

[0003] The drug resistance dilemma: Traditional antibiotics (such as β-lactams) work by inhibiting a single metabolic target, and bacteria are prone to developing drug resistance through gene mutations (such as the production of β-lactamases).

[0004] The pain points of antimicrobial drugs and current antimicrobial peptides are shown in Table 1:

[0005] Table 1

[0006]

[0007] Non-specific killing: Conventional self-assembled antimicrobial peptides (such as RAD16-II) destroy microbial membranes through electrochemical interactions, without distinguishing between Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and mammalian cells, resulting in hemolytic activity >20% and dysbiosis (experiments show that the survival rate of Bifidobacteria is <40%).

[0008] Insufficient environmental responsiveness: Existing materials (such as pH-sensitive polymers) lack pathogen-specific recognition capabilities and are easily neutralized and inactivated by serum proteins.

[0009] Therefore, it is necessary to design an antimicrobial peptide that possesses the following properties:

[0010] It specifically binds to the outer membrane protein (OmpC / LamB) of Gram-negative bacteria or the core polysaccharide region (Kdo residues) of LPS; it triggers self-assembly under low pH (≤6.5) or high ROS (≥50μM) conditions at the infection site, and circumvents enzymatic resistance through a physical membrane rupture mechanism.

[0011] Based on this, the present invention designs a therapeutic intelligent chemotactic-responsive self-assembling nano-antimicrobial Peptides (CRISAN-AMPs) that has a chemotactic effect on the inflammatory microenvironment, accurately identifies Gram-negative bacteria, is triggered in the inflammatory environment, and exerts a precise bactericidal effect against various pathogenic bacteria.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] The antimicrobial peptide (TCR-SAMP) in this embodiment includes the following functional modules:

[0057] Targeted module: The sequence KPRSVS or its variants (allowing 1-2 conservative substitutions such as K→R) is coupled to the self-assembled module via (Gly)3 flexible linkers, with a binding constant KD≤10. -8 M (SPR measurement).

[0058] Among them: Receptor binding profile: In addition to OmpC / LamB, it can recognize the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) core polysaccharide region (Kdo residues). Among them: Variant definition: Allows 1-2 amino acid substitutions in the KPRSVS sequence (conserved substitutions such as K→R).

[0099] The antimicrobial peptide structure of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. Wherein:

[0100] 1. Targeting Module

[0101] Core sequence: KPRSVS

[0102] Variants range: Allows 1-2 conservative substitutions (e.g., K→R, S→T), maintaining KD≤10 with OmpC / LPS. -8 M

[0103] Binding site:

[0104] OmpC: binds to the negatively charged regions on the surface of outer membrane proteins via positively charged residues (K / R) in KPRSVS.

[0105] LPS core region: hydrophobic residues (V / S) inserted into the acyl chain of the Kdo sugar chain.

[0106] 2. Connector

[0113] 4. Chemotaxis module

[0114] Histidine enrichment region: HHHHRR

[0115] pH response: In the low pH environment of inflammation, histidine protonation (pKa≈6.0) induces a conformational change. ROS-sensitive group: Methionine can be selected → oxidized to sulfoxide by H2O2, triggering depolymerization.

[0116] 5. Stability Modification

[0117] N-terminal PEG4: Reduces immune recognition of D-amino acids: such as DV replacing L-Valine, resisting protease hydrolysis.

[0118] Summarize:

[0119] H2N-PEG4 is the linker between the amino (N-terminus) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains, providing stability and water solubility. KPRSVS is a targeting module containing a variety of charged and hydrophobic amino acids, potentially for specific biorecognition. (Gly)3 is the linker segment, composed of glycine, which is flexible and promotes structural stability. VLVLKRKR and HHHHRR are self-assembling modules that may play an important role in nanostructure formation, aiding in the self-assembly of nanofibers. COOH is the carboxyl group (C-terminus), the ending part of this peptide chain, which is typically linked to other molecules via peptide bonds.

[0120] Overall performance characteristics: Receptor-locked (OmpC / LPS) precise sterilization avoids broad-spectrum killing, protects and maintains ecological balance; flexible linkers enhance binding freedom; variant compatibility covers strain variations to improve targeting specificity; physical membrane disruption avoids resistance to multiple membrane mutations; synergistic sensitization restores sensitivity to traditional antibiotics; anti-biomembrane breakthrough overcomes extracellular polymer barriers to avoid drug resistance; chemotactic enrichment reduces systemic toxicity; stability modification prolongs in vivo half-life and promotes clinical safety.

[0173] 1.2 Membrane disruption and self-assembly:

[0174] Targeted activation: KLKLLQL binds to bacterial LPS or tumor cell membranes, accumulating locally.

[0175] pH responsiveness: Tumor / inflammation targeting, HHHHRR protonates in an acidic environment (pH 6.0), enhancing positive charge density and triggering drug release or membrane penetration.
