Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of polypeptide drug preparation, and specifically relates to a method for synthesizing plecanatide fragments. Background Art

[0002] Chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) are two of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, characterized by infrequent bowel movements, straining, and abdominal pain or discomfort. The prevalence of chronic constipation in adults in my country, including CIC, functional bowel dysfunction, and IBS-C, is 4%-6%. Chronic constipation can lead to secondary psychiatric and psychological disorders, and its impact on patients' quality of life is comparable to that of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart failure.

[0003] Plecanatide is a guanylate cyclase C (GC-C) receptor agonist developed by Synergy Pharmaceuticals in the United States. It was approved by the FDA on January 19, 2017, under the trade name Trulance. Plecanatide is a cyclic polypeptide containing 16 amino acids that can regulate acid and base ions in the gastrointestinal tract, induce fluid transport into the gastrointestinal tract, and increase gastrointestinal motility. It is suitable for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults. Its structural formula is as follows:

[0004]

[0005] In the prior art, the patent with publication number CN104211777A adopts the Fmoc solid phase synthesis method to gradually couple and synthesize the linear peptide resin of plecanatin, and obtain the linear peptide of plecanatin after cleavage, and then oxidize in a step-by-step manner in the liquid phase to obtain plecanatin. During the oxidation process, different deprotection strategies are selected according to the characteristics of the Cys side chain protecting group, and hydrogen peroxide and iodine are used for step-by-step oxidation. However, according to experiments, this synthesis method has the phenomenon of polycondensation of the peptide resin after coupling of some amino acids, resulting in difficulty in synthesizing the linear peptide, low crude product purity, and difficulty in purification. The patent with publication number CN110981939A adopts the Fmoc solid phase synthesis method to gradually or fragment-couple and synthesize the linear peptide resin of plecanatin, wherein Hmb / Dmb is used to protect Gly and Ala amino acids, and a linear peptide is obtained after cleavage, and then hydrogen peroxide and iodine are used in a liquid phase for step-by-step oxidation to form two pairs of disulfide bonds to obtain plecanatin. Although this scheme can improve the polycondensation problem of resin, Hmb / Dmb material is expensive, is unfavorable for cost control, and is difficult to realize industrialized production. Publication number is the patent of CN109354607A, adopts octapeptide fragment and octapeptide resin to obtain hexadecepeptide resin in the presence of condensing agent by solid phase condensation, cracking obtains linear peptide, then forms two pairs of disulfide bonds with hydrogen peroxide and iodine stepwise oxidation in liquid phase, obtains plecanatide, and the plecanatide obtained by this method has a total yield of up to 32.45% after purification, and purity can reach more than 99%. The present invention can greatly shorten the synthesis cycle, avoids the problem that traditional solid phase is progressively coupled to be inefficient, but the fully protected S8-S1 octapeptide fragment, steric hindrance is larger, coupling difficulty, and poor solubility in DMF or DCM is unfavorable for reaction and is carried out, and operation is relatively complicated, and cost is higher. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the coupling difficulties, complex operations, and resin polycondensation problems that occur during the synthesis of plecanatide, and to solve the problems of low purity and low yield after step-by-step coupling and cyclization, the present invention provides a fragment synthesis method of plecanatide, which mainly comprises the following steps:

[0007] (1) A linear plecanapeptide resin was obtained by solid-phase synthesis on Fmoc-Leu-resin according to the peptide sequence of plecanapeptide; wherein S5-S8 were tetrapeptide fragments, and the remaining were corresponding protected amino acids or fragments;

[0008] (2) cleaving the linear plecanatide resin obtained in step (1) to obtain linear plecanatide;

[0010] Furthermore, the linear plecanatin resin obtained in step (1) is: R1-Asn(R2)-Asp(OtBu)-Glu(OtBu)-Cys(R3)-Glu(OtBu)-Leu-Cys(R4)-Val-Asn(Trt)-Val-Ala-Cys(R3)-Thr(tBu)-Gly-Cys(R4)-Leu-resin;

[0014] R3 and R4 are selected from Trt, Acm, StBu or tBu, and R3 and R4 are different.

[0015] Furthermore, the tetrapeptide fragment used in steps (1) S5-S8 is Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-Leu-Cys(R4)-Val-OH; wherein R4 is preferably Trt or Acm.

[0016] Furthermore, the remaining corresponding fragments used in step (1) include S1-S2 or S1-S4. The synthesized S1-S2 fragment is R1-Asn(R2)-Asp(OtBu)-OH, and the S1-S4 fragment is R1-Asn(R2)-Asp(OtBu)-Glu(OtBu)-Cys(R3)-OH;

[0017] in:

[0018] R1 is preferably Fmoc or Boc;

[0019] R3 is preferably Trt or Acm.

[0020] In step (2), the linear plecanatin resin is cleaved and the resin and side chain protecting groups are removed simultaneously to obtain the linear plecanatin: H-Asn-Asp-Glu-Cys(R3)-Glu-Leu-Cys(R4)-Val-Asn-Val-Ala-Cys(R3)-Thr-Gly-Cys(R4)-Leu-OH, wherein when the Cys side chain protecting group is Trt, it can be cleaved during the cleavage process; if it is other protecting groups, it cannot be cleaved.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleavage and stepwise cyclization in steps (2) and (3) mainly include the following steps:

[0022] When R3 and R4 are selected from Trt and Acm, the linear plecanatin resin is subjected to a cleavage reaction with a cleavage reagent and then precipitated to obtain a linear peptide containing a pair of Cys with Acm protecting groups in the peptide sequence; the linear peptide is dissolved, an oxidant is added, and a cyclization reaction is performed to obtain a cyclic peptide; the side chain protecting group Acm on the Cys of the cyclic peptide is removed in an iodine solution, and cyclization is performed to obtain a crude plecanatin peptide; the added oxidant is selected from hydrogen peroxide, DMSO or air.

[0023] When R3 and R4 are selected from Trt and StBu, a linear plecanatin resin is cleaved with a cleavage reagent and then precipitated to obtain a linear peptide containing a pair of Cys with StBu protecting groups in the peptide sequence; the linear peptide is dissolved, an oxidant is added, and a cyclization reaction is performed to obtain a cyclic peptide; 2-mercaptoethanol is added to the cyclic peptide to remove the StBu protecting group; and an oxidant is then added to perform a second cyclization to obtain a crude plecanatin peptide. The oxidant used in the second cyclization is selected from hydrogen peroxide, DMSO, or air.

[0024] When R3 and R4 are selected from Trt and tBu, a linear plecanatin resin is cleaved with a cleavage reagent and then precipitated to obtain a linear peptide containing a pair of Cys with tBu protecting groups in the peptide sequence; the linear peptide is dissolved, an oxidant is added, and a cyclization reaction is performed to obtain a cyclic peptide; TFA, diphenyl sulfoxide, trichloromethylsilane, and anisole are added to the cyclic peptide to remove the tBu protecting groups; an oxidant is then added to perform a second cyclization to obtain a crude plecanatin peptide. The oxidant used in the second cyclization is selected from hydrogen peroxide, DMSO, or air.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleavage reagent in step (2) is selected from trifluoroacetic acid and other components, and the other components are selected from 1-4 of water, phenol, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, and triisopropylsilane, wherein trifluoroacetic acid accounts for more than 90% and the other components each account for 1%-5%.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the resin in step (1) is selected from Wang resin or 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin, and the substitution degree of the obtained Fmoc-Leu-resin is in the range of 0.2-0.5 mmol / g.

[0027] The present invention proposes a fragment synthesis method for plecanatide. The corresponding protected amino acids and the S5-S8 tetrapeptide fragments in the sequence are sequentially added to an Fmoc-Leu resin via solid-phase synthesis. This effectively improves the resin's polycondensation and significantly reduces the difficulty of plecanatide synthesis. Furthermore, the S5-S8 tetrapeptide fragment has good solubility in DMF or DCM, thereby improving the purity and yield of plecanatide. The use of S1-S4 or S1-S2 fragments can reduce the problem of related deletion peptide impurities generated by coupling difficulties of amino acids at the S1 or S4 positions. Pure plecanatide synthesized using the present method can achieve a purity exceeding 99.5% and an overall yield exceeding 45%. Compared with the prior art, the present process effectively alleviates the problem of peptide resin shrinkage during solid-phase synthesis leading to coupling difficulties, reduces the generation of related deletion peptide impurities, and significantly reduces the difficulty of synthesizing and purifying plecanatide. The prepared plecanatide has high purity, high yield, and few impurities, and has broad practical value and application prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0126] Comparative Example 1: Preparation of Plecanapeptide Peptide Resin

[0127] 50.08 g (10 mmol) of the Fmoc-Leu-Wang resin prepared in Example 1 of the present invention with a degree of substitution of 0.20 mmol / g was added to a solid-phase reaction column and washed once with DMF. After swelling the Fmoc-Leu-Wang resin with DMF for 30 minutes, the Fmoc protection was removed with a mixed solution of DMF:piperidine in a volume ratio of 4:1. The resin was then washed six times with DMF. 12.45 g of Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH and 4.05 g of HOBt were weighed and dissolved in the DMF solution. After activation with 4.67 ml of DIC in an ice-water bath, the resin was added to the reaction column containing the resin. After reacting at room temperature for 2 hours, the reaction endpoint was determined using the ninhydrin assay. If the resin was colorless and transparent, the reaction was complete; if the resin developed color, the reaction was incomplete and required further reaction for another hour or repeated addition of a single dose or a different condensation reagent. The ninhydrin assay is suitable for determining the reaction endpoint in subsequent amino acid coupling reactions. Repeat the above steps of removing Fmoc protection and adding the corresponding amino acid coupling, and sequentially insert Fmoc-Gly-OH, Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-Cys(Trt)-OH, Fmoc-Ala-OH, Fmoc-Val-OH, Fmoc-Asn(Trt)-OH, Fmoc-Val-OH, Fmoc-Cys(Acm)-OH, Fmoc-Leu-OH, Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OH, Fmoc-Cys(Trt)-OH, Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OH, Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH and Fmoc-Gly-OH according to the sequence of plecanatide. Moc-Asn(Trt)-OH was used to obtain the peptide resin Fmoc-Asn(Trt)-Asp(OtBu)-Glu(OtBu)-Cys(Trt)-Glu(OtBu)-Leu-Cys(Acm)-Val-Asn(Trt)-Val-Ala-Cys(Trt)-Thr(tBu)-Gly-Cys(Acm)-Leu-Wang resin, weighing 70.50 g. During the linear peptide coupling process, the volume of the peptide resin shrank significantly when coupling the S9-S1 residues, and the coupling was difficult when coupling the S7 residue. The resin was light blue when detected by the ninhydrin method after 2.5 hours of reaction, and no significant improvement was achieved by repeated injection.

[0128] Comparative Example 2: Preparation of linear plecanatide

After mixing evenly, the above peptide resin was added and reacted at room temperature for 2 hours. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was added to 8 times the amount of ice isopropyl ether and precipitated for 1 hour. The mixture was centrifuged and washed with isopropyl ether 4 times. The mixture was dried to obtain 14.91 g of a white solid linear crude peptide with an Acm protecting group at the Cys (7, 15) position of plecanatin.
