The present invention does not specifically limit the specific conditions of the end-capping, washing and drying, and the conditions familiar to those skilled in the art may be used.

[0129] After obtaining the peptide resin, the present invention uses a cleavage solution to cleave the peptide resin to obtain a crude peptide. In an embodiment of the present invention, the cleavage solution may include trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), triisopropylsilane (TIS), water and 1,8-octanedithiol (EDT), and the volume ratio of TFA, TIS, H2O and EDT may be 92.4:2.5:2.5:2.5.

[0133] At present, the global DLL3 pipeline has a low concentration and is in an early stage of clinical development (1 project in Phase III, 4 projects in Phase I). The main indications for development are small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and the drug forms are ADC, bispecific antibodies / polyspecific antibodies, and CAR-T. The clinical effect of Rova-T in Phase III is currently not as good as expected, and BMS directly announced that the drug has failed to treat small cell lung cancer. The remaining global pipelines are three antibody projects in Phase I and one CAR-T project in Phase I: the three antibody projects involved, namely Amgen's AMG757, Harpoon's HPN328, and BI's BI764532, all specifically target cancer cells with high DLL3 expression by activating T cells with CD3, and have shown good anti-tumor activity in both preclinical and clinical stages.

[0134] In summary, the current drug development for DLL3 target is still in the early stage, the number of candidate drugs is small, and the indications are mostly concentrated in SCLC, a tumor field with large unmet needs. SCLC accounts for about 15% of lung cancer cases. It proliferates rapidly and is prone to extensive metastasis in the early stage. The 5-year survival rate of most SCLC patients is only 3%. In addition to first-line chemotherapy regimens such as platinum-etoposide, there are almost no other treatment options, and almost all patients will relapse soon after receiving chemotherapy. Therefore, SCLC urgently needs new treatment options. Based on the important role of DLL3 in tumor development and the lag in the current clinical development of this target, finding a ligand that highly specifically targets DLL3, and then using it for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with tumors that overexpress DLL3 will benefit more tumor patients and have important clinical significance and social value. The polypeptide compounds provided by the present invention have significant DLL3 targeting affinity and have significant drug development potential on the DLL3 target.

[0135] In an embodiment of the present invention, the disease associated with the DLL3 target may be a tumor; the tumor may be selected from lung cancer, brain cancer, central nervous system cancer, neuroendocrine tumor, head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, breast cancer, liver cancer, hepatobiliary cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, intestinal cancer, kidney cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, adrenal cancer, skin cancer or melanoma. In an embodiment of the present invention, the lung cancer may be small cell lung cancer or large cell lung cancer; the central nervous system cancer may be glioma, glioblastoma multiforme or neuroblastoma; the head and neck cancer may be head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, pharyngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer or thyroid cancer; the thyroid cancer may specifically be medullary thyroid carcinoma; the breast cancer may be triple negative breast cancer; the intestinal cancer may be colorectal cancer; the kidney cancer may be clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

[0136] In an embodiment of the present invention, the therapeutic drug may include an active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient; the active ingredient is the polypeptide compound described in the above technical solution, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or the pharmaceutical composition described in the above technical solution.

[0137] The technical solutions in the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0144] (3) Coupling: Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH (320 mg, 0.6 mmol, 3 eq) and 2-(1H-benzotriazol L-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU, 193 mg, 0.6 mmol, 3 eq) were dissolved in DMF (20 mL). N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA, 0.208 mL, 1.2 mmol, 6 eq) was added to the resulting reaction solution under ice bath conditions and stirred for activation for 10 min. The resulting activated solution was added to the Fmoc-free resin obtained in step (2) and reacted at room temperature for 1 h. A small amount of the resin was heated with a 5 wt % ninhydrin ethanol solution at 110° C. for 3 min, and the resin became colorless.

[0160] Then, Ac2O (56 μL, 0.6 mmol, 3.0 eq) and DIEA (209 μL, 1.2 mmol, 6.0 eq) were added for end-capping, and the mixture was washed alternately with DCM and EtOH for 3 times, with the volume of DCM and EtOH used for each washing being 10 mL respectively. The mixture was drained and transferred to a vacuum oven, and dried in vacuum at 35°C for 2 h to obtain 0.92 g of Ac-Trp(Boc)-Asp(OtBu)-Cys(Trt)-AC4C-Gly-Asn(Trt)-Thr(tBu)-Asp(OtBu)-Asp(Ot Bu)-Trp(Boc)-Thr(tBu)-Cys(Trt)-Thr(tBu)-Trp(Boc)-MBHA resin, which was directly used in the next reaction.

[0161] (5) Cracking: Based on 10 mL / g resin, a cracking solution (9 mL) was added to the resin (0.92 g) obtained in step (4). The cracking solution included trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), triisopropylsilane (TIS), water and 1,8-octanedithiol (EDT), wherein the volume ratio of TFA, TIS, H2O and EDT was 92.4:2.5:2.5:2.5), and then tris(2-carbonylethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP, 9 mg, 1 mg / mL) was added. The mixture was reacted at room temperature for 2 h, filtered, and washed with the cracking solution (1 mL). The combined filtrate was dropwise added with methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, 50 mL), and the mixture was precipitated under ice bath for 1 h. The mixture was centrifuged, and the solid was collected and washed three times with methyl tert-butyl ether (40 mL) to obtain a white solid. The white solid was transferred to a vacuum drying oven and vacuum dried at 35°C for 2 h to obtain 110 mg of crude peptide.

The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. LC-MS showed that the reaction was complete. The purified solution was purified by Pre-HPLC, concentrated and lyophilized to obtain the target compound HTPM7020-055 as a white solid (15.86 mg). The yield was 14% and the HPLC purity was 95.85%. MS (ESI) m / z: [M+2H] + / 2=870.1.

[0167] Test Example 1 Testing the affinity of peptide compounds for DLL3 targets based on in vitro activity assays

[0168] In this field, in vitro affinity is an important evaluation index for determining the effect of a molecule on a target in the early stages of drug development. This test example uses bio-layer interferometry (BLI) technology to test the affinity of the polypeptide compound of the present invention to the target protein DLL3. The specific steps are as follows:

[0169] The experiment was conducted using an Octet R8 device. Biotin-labeled recombinant human DLL3 protein (AcroBiosystems Inc. Catalog No. DL3-H82E4) was prepared with PBST to a concentration of 20 μg / mL and fixed to the SSA sensor. The program added baseline (60 s), loading (600 s), and baseline (60 s).

[0170] The solidified SSA sensor was subjected to a binding reaction with a polypeptide compound. Specifically, the polypeptide compound was prepared into a mother solution with a concentration of 10 mM using DMSO, diluted to an appropriate concentration using PBST, and then diluted to 7 concentrations by 2 times in a gradient manner. The final concentration of DMSO was controlled within 1% to ensure that the amount of DMSO used did not affect the activity of the protein. The mother solutions of polypeptide compounds with different concentrations and PBST were added to a 96-well plate, and the program was set: Baseline (PBST buffer containing DMSO, 60s), Association (PBST buffer containing DMSO + compound, 90s), Dissociation (PBST buffer containing DMSO, 120s). Each sample well was required to undergo an equilibrium binding and dissociation step. At the same time, the above operation was performed with an SSA sensor without solidified protein as a reference non-specific binding signal.

[0171] After the experiment, Octet high-throughput analysis software Octet Analysis Studio (version 12.2.2.26) was used for analysis. The data processing followed the double subtraction principle, that is, the first step was to subtract the nonspecific binding signal between the SSA sensor and the polypeptide compounds, and the second step was to subtract the nonspecific binding signal between the protein and the PBST buffer containing DMSO. After that, kinetic fitting was performed to obtain the affinity constant KD between the polypeptide compounds and the target protein DLL3.

[0172] Table 3 shows the affinity test results of the peptide compounds with the target protein DLL3. It can be seen from Table 3 that the peptide compounds provided by the present invention have significant targeting affinity for the DLL3 target, and the affinity constants K of most cyclic peptide compounds with the DLL3 target are D <100nM, and some cyclic peptide compounds are difficult to dissociate after binding to the DLL3 target (dissociation rate constant koff <10 -2 1 / s).
