Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with application date of January 16, 2024, application number 202410061582.8, and name “Polypeptides with modified structures and their applications”. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to a series of polypeptides with modified structures and applications thereof. Specifically, the present invention relates to a series of polypeptides with stapled structures, a pharmaceutical composition containing the series of polypeptides and applications thereof in treating metabolic diseases. Background Art
[0003] Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and insulinotropic peptide (GIP) are incretins, and glucagon (GCG) is secreted by pancreatic α cells. The aforementioned substances can directly or indirectly affect human glucose metabolism and / or lipid metabolism. Therefore, compounds that act on GLP-1, GIP, and GCG have the prospect of being developed into drugs for the treatment of metabolic diseases. For example, the compounds (peptides) that have been marketed and act on GLP-1, such as exenatide, liraglutide, and semaglutide, are drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and / or obesity.
[0004] However, compounds that act on a single GLP-1, GIP or GCG usually have deficiencies in terms of therapeutic areas, therapeutic effects, metabolic behavior, etc., which in turn affect the drugability of the compound or its clinical application after marketing. Therefore, attempts are made to develop compounds that act on multiple targets in order to intervene from multiple mechanisms of action at the same time and achieve better clinical effects. Tirzepatide, a GLP-1 / GIP dual agonist developed by Eli Lilly, has shown superior effects to semaglutide in head-to-head clinical trials and has been approved for marketing; LY3437943, a GLP-1 / GIP / GCG triple agonist developed by Eli Lilly, has also shown good clinical effects in clinical studies and has good development prospects.
[0005] GLP-1R / GIPR / GCGR multiple agonists can activate the molecular mechanism of blood sugar regulation receptors, affect food intake and satiety through different mechanisms, and play a role in maintaining weight homeostasis. At the same time, it was found during the research process that because GLP-1 receptor agonists can promote the incretin effect by stimulating GLP-1 receptors to produce good hypoglycemic and weight loss effects, they can also treat NASH (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) through multi-pathway synergistic effects, suggesting that compounds acting on this target or multiple targets have the prospect of being developed into drugs for the prevention and / or treatment of a series of specific diseases related to abnormal glucose metabolism and / or lipid metabolism. Summary of the invention
[0006] The present invention aims to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and provides a series of polypeptides with modified structures and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The polypeptides in this series show good effects on GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R), GIP receptor (GIPR) and GCG receptor (GCGR) in in vitro experiments and have good drug development prospects.

[0605] Definition and Description
[0606] Unless otherwise specified, the following terms and phrases used herein are intended to have the following meanings. A particular term or phrase should not be considered to be uncertain or unclear in the absence of a special definition, but should be understood according to its ordinary meaning. When a trade name appears in this article, it is intended to refer to its corresponding commercial product or its active ingredient.
[0607] Unless otherwise specified, the “polypeptide”, “peptide” and “polypeptide compound” mentioned in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art to have the same meaning in combination with the context.
[0608] Unless otherwise specified, the "polypeptide sequence" and "peptide chain" mentioned in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art to have the same meaning in combination with the context.
[0609] The “staple”, “staple”, “stapled body” and “staple” mentioned in the present invention, unless otherwise specified, can be understood by those skilled in the art as having the same meaning in combination with the context.
[0610] Unless otherwise specified, the example numbers of the compounds in the present invention remain consistent with the order of the compound numbers, that is, the compounds indicated by "Example 1" and "Compound 1" are compounds with the same structure.
[0611] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" as used herein refers to those compounds, materials, compositions and / or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response or other problems or complications, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0612] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to salts of compounds of the invention, prepared from compounds of the invention having specific substituents with relatively nontoxic acids or bases. When the compounds of the invention contain relatively acidic functional groups, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting such compounds with a sufficient amount of base in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amine or magnesium salts or similar salts. When the compounds of the invention contain relatively basic functional groups, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting such compounds with a sufficient amount of acid in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include inorganic acid salts, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid, bicarbonate, phosphoric acid, monohydrogen phosphate, dihydrogen phosphate, sulfuric acid, hydrogen sulfate, hydroiodic acid, phosphorous acid, etc.; and organic acid salts, such as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid, suberic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, phthalic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, methanesulfonic acid and pamoic acid and the like; also include salts of amino acids (such as arginine, etc.), and salts of organic acids such as glucuronic acid. Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain basic and acidic functional groups, and thus can be converted into either base or acid addition salts.
[0613] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized by conventional chemical methods from parent compounds containing acid radicals or bases. Generally, the preparation method of such salts is: in water or an organic solvent or a mixture of the two, these compounds in free acid or base form are reacted with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate base or acid to prepare.
[0614] "Amino acid" refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function similarly to naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those amino acids encoded by the genetic code, as well as those amino acids that are later modified, e.g., hydroxyproline, γ-carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure (e.g., an alpha carbon bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group) as naturally occurring amino acids, e.g., homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methylsulfonium. Such analogs may have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as naturally occurring amino acids. Amino acid mimetics refer to chemical compounds whose structure is different from the general amino acid chemical structure, but function similarly to naturally occurring amino acids.
[0615] The natural amino acids and their various expressions described herein are well known to those skilled in the art, and their specific corresponding situations are shown in the following table:
[0616]
[0617]
[0618]
[0619] Some other unnatural amino acids, such as 2-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), etc., correspond to the following table:
[0620]

[0631] Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers and D and L isomers can be prepared by chiral synthesis or chiral reagents or other conventional techniques. If one enantiomer of a compound of the present invention is desired, it can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization with a chiral auxiliary, wherein the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group is cleaved to provide the pure desired enantiomer. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as an amino group) or an acidic functional group (such as a carboxyl group), a diastereomeric salt is formed with an appropriate optically active acid or base, and then the diastereoisomers are separated by conventional methods known in the art, and then the pure enantiomer is recovered. In addition, the separation of enantiomers and diastereomers is usually accomplished by using chromatography, which uses a chiral stationary phase and is optionally combined with a chemical derivatization method (for example, a carbamate is generated from an amine).

For example, the compounds may be labeled with radioactive isotopes, such as tritium ( 3 H), iodine-125( 125 I) or C-14( 14C). For another example, deuterium can be used to replace hydrogen to form a deuterated drug. The bond between deuterium and carbon is stronger than the bond between ordinary hydrogen and carbon. Compared with undeuterated drugs, deuterated drugs have the advantages of reducing toxic side effects, increasing drug stability, enhancing efficacy, and extending the biological half-life of drugs. All isotopic composition changes of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are included in the scope of the present invention.

When the chemical bond connection mode is non-positional and there are H atoms at the connectable sites, when the chemical bonds are connected, the number of H atoms at the site will decrease with the number of connected chemical bonds to become a group with the corresponding valence. The chemical bond connecting the site to other groups can be a straight solid bond. Straight dotted key or wavy line For example, the straight solid bond in -OCH3 indicates that it is connected to other groups through the oxygen atom in the group; The straight dashed bond in the group indicates that the two ends of the nitrogen atom in the group are connected to other groups; The wavy lines in the phenyl group represent the connection to other groups through the carbon atoms at positions 1 and 2 in the phenyl group.
