Description
Method for producing peptide compounds having a ring structure
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a peptide compound having a ring structure by utilizing a ring-closing metathesis reaction.
[0002] In recent years, it has been discovered that some cyclic peptide compounds containing unnatural amino acids have improved metabolic stability and membrane permeability (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). Some of these cyclic peptides have a dipeptide structure containing a medium-sized ring (Patent Document 1). Among these medium-sized rings, those with 5- to 7-membered rings are called Friedinger lactams. Friedinger lactams have the property of being able to change pharmacological activity and metabolic stability by constraining their conformation, and are structures that are sometimes encountered in drug design (Non-Patent Document 3).
[0003] Medium-sized rings are typically formed by ring-closing metathesis reactions using ruthenium-alkylidene complexes, such as the Hoveyda-Grubbs catalyst. When performing this reaction, substrates whose N-terminal amino groups are protected with Boc or Fmoc are typically used (Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5). However, these methods require high dilution conditions (e.g., 0.01 mol / L) or less, as intermolecular reactions compete with the desired ring-closing metathesis reaction (i.e., intramolecular reaction), resulting in poor yields of the target product. On the other hand, when ring-closing metathesis reactions are performed under high dilution conditions, the low substrate concentration reduces the rate of the desired ring-closing metathesis reaction, leading to catalyst deactivation and potentially requiring an increased catalyst amount and an additional catalyst removal step. Furthermore, high dilution conditions require the use of large amounts of solvent, making them unsuitable for mass synthesis, such as the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients, from a productivity perspective.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of these circumstances. In one aspect, an object is to establish a novel ring-closing metathesis reaction for constructing a peptide structure containing a medium-sized ring. In another aspect, an object is to establish a method for performing the ring-closing metathesis reaction under low dilution conditions (e.g., 0.1 mol / L). In another aspect, an object is to establish a method for performing the ring-closing metathesis reaction in high yield. In another aspect, an object is to establish a method for performing the ring-closing metathesis reaction in which the generation of by-products is suppressed. In another aspect, an object is to establish a method for performing the ring-closing metathesis reaction suitable for mass production.
[0007] As a result of extensive investigations aimed at solving the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that, in the presence of a catalyst such as a metal-alkylidene complex, a ring-closing metathesis reaction can proceed while maintaining high intramolecular reaction selectivity even under low dilution conditions by using a substrate that is an amino acid with an unprotected N-terminal amino group.

The pressure inside the reaction vessel was reduced and then restored with nitrogen. The external temperature of the reaction vessel was set to 65°C, and the reaction mixture was heated for 2 hours. A sample of the reaction mixture was taken and analyzed by HPLC. The conversion rate was 98.8%, and no dimer formed by intermolecular reaction was detected. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to around 25°C and then concentrated under reduced pressure. MTBE (3 mL) and 0.5 M hydrochloric acid (3 mL) were added to the resulting concentrate, followed by stirring. The organic layer was then discarded. Potassium carbonate (0.23 g) was added to the resulting aqueous layer with stirring, and the mixture was further stirred. This extraction procedure was repeated three times with the addition of 4-methyltetrahydropyran (3 mL). The resulting organic layers were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure, followed by azeotropic dehydration with 4-methyltetrahydropyran (10 mL). The resulting residue was purified by reverse-phase column chromatography (mobile phase: water / acetonitrile volume ratio 95:5 → 65:35).
