Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of polypeptide drugs, in particular to a stapled peptide with improved broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bacteria are widely present in human and nature. In the case of invasion of various pathogenic bacteria into human body and low collective resistance, bacterial infectious diseases may occur. For example, acute gastroenteritis, pneumonia, folliculitis, and the like, and in severe cases, gangrenous deep abscesses and the like may be infected. In order to ensure human health and improve the quality of life, a large number of antibacterial drugs have been developed and applied to the clinical treatment of bacterial infectious diseases. Among them, antibacterial peptides are widely used in clinical treatment. Antibacterial peptides are a kind of basic polypeptide substances found and isolated from insects, higher plants, mammals, bacteria, fungi and other organisms, which have antibacterial activity induced. They have broad-spectrum and high-efficiency bactericidal activity on bacteria. However, most of the antibacterial peptides have the problems of poor stability, strong drug resistance and the like. At present, solving the clinical use difficulty of antibacterial peptides and improving the in-vivo stability have become one of the research hotspots.

[0003] Existing studies have shown that the clinical use of some antibacterial peptides can be improved and side effects can be reduced by structural modification, gene fusion and the like. One of the modification methods is to introduce two unnatural amino acids containing α-methyl and α-alkenyl during the solid-phase synthesis of the peptide chain, and to cyclize the stable α-helix structure conformation of the all-carbon scaffold under the catalysis of the cyclization agent, thereby synthesizing the stapled peptide. The stapled polypeptide after modification significantly increases the affinity with the target and also significantly improves the cell permeability. The stapled modification technology can not only make the antibacterial peptide more stable to in-vivo proteases, but also can improve the activity and increase the clinical use. At present, the stapled technology has been a strategy that can effectively improve the activity, increase the protein stability and stabilize the polypeptide chain structure, which has been widely applied in drug chemistry for disease intervention. However, there are still problems such as drug resistance and side effects in clinical treatment. The application of all-carbon scaffold to form side chain ring structure to modify the activity conformation of α-helix peptide, i.e. stapled peptide, is the most direct and effective method to overcome these difficulties.

[0004] CN113651874A, published on November 16, 2021, discloses a stapling peptide with inhibitory effect on the growth and reproduction of Candida, and a preparation method and application thereof. The peptide chain is synthesized by Fmoc solid-phase synthesis method in a DIC-oxime condensation system according to the straight-chain peptide template Aurein1.2: Ac-GLFDIIKKIAESF-NH2 amino acid sequence, and on the basis of retaining key amino acid residues, S5 is used to replace the original amino acid at a specific position, and the straight-chain peptide is connected to the resin. After olefin metathesis reaction and ring closure in Grubbs I reagent dichloroethane solution, the target stapling peptide is obtained by cutting off the resin. However, the present inventors have noticed from the numerous information and literature reports in the prior art that human chemotatic protein, known for its antibacterial activity, is an inactive precursor protein with 163 amino acid residues, which can be widely expressed in various epithelial cells, and plays an important role in the chemotaxis of immune cells, the differentiation and metabolic function of adipocytes, and glucose metabolism function. In human chemotatic protein, a short peptide with 7 residues after tandem repeat sequence (Chem-KVL) was found to have strong broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, which has the highest density of hydrophobic residues and positively charged residues in the entire protein.

[0005] In the present patent, the tandem repeat short peptide (Chem-KVL) is designed to be stapled and modified to make its structure more stable. The i and i+4 position amino acids are replaced by S5 at the key residue position of the peptide chain, and the stapling peptide with stable structure is obtained after ring closure. However, there is no report on the stapling peptide with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity prepared by the present application and its preparation method and application. SUMMARY
