Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to an antimicrobial peptide mimicry based on adamantane modification and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The discovery and development of antibiotics in the 20th century was a key achievement in the medical field, significantly reducing the incidence and mortality of diseases caused by bacterial infections. However, the widespread proliferation of bacteria resistant to almost all antibiotics on the market renders current treatments ineffective, posing a serious risk. Furthermore, the evolution and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria not only threaten human health but has also become a major threat to global healthcare. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore and develop novel antimicrobial agents to combat infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria.
[0003] Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) are considered potential antimicrobial agents due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and unique membrane disruption mechanism. CAMPs are present in almost all organisms, forming the first line of defense in the innate immune system. Most CAMPs exhibit antimicrobial activity against a wide variety of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. They typically employ an amphiphilic structure, with hydrophilic and hydrophobic residues separating into opposing regions in the presence of a solvent or when interacting with the cell membrane. The mechanism of action for CAMPs primarily involves interaction with the negatively charged components of the bacterial cell membrane, leading to increased cell permeability and ultimately cell death. Due to the difference in the composition of bacterial cell membrane phospholipids, bacterial membranes are considered to be more negatively charged than mammalian membranes, making AMPs selective for bacteria. Because AMPs target fundamentally different characteristics of bacteria that have specific binding sites compared to traditional antibiotics, bacteria are less likely to develop resistance to them. AMPs appear to be promising candidates for antimicrobial drugs; however, they have some significant drawbacks in clinical use, such as potential toxicity to host cells, poor tissue distribution, and sensitivity to proteases. Furthermore, the high cost of synthesizing AMPs is another obstacle to their use as drug candidates. Summary of the Invention

[0030] Preferably, the bacteria or drug-resistant bacteria are selected from any one of the following: drug-resistant bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-positive bacilli, Gram-negative cocci, Gram-negative bacilli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter, Hafnia, Enterobacter schoenleinii, Proteus, Providencia, Yersinia, trophotropic Gram-negative bacilli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, strict anaerobes, mycoplasma, and mycobacteria.
[0031] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, there is an urgent need for innovative molecular structures that can retain the advantages of antimicrobial peptides while circumventing their limitations. In this context, small-molecule antimicrobial peptide mimics that mimic the structure of AMPs show promise as effective antimicrobial agents. These mimics carry a positive charge, facilitating interaction with the negatively charged bacterial cell membrane or DNA. They exhibit hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties similar to AMPs, resisting enzymatic degradation by avoiding peptide bonds recognized by proteases. Furthermore, they are easy to synthesize, unaffected by traditional antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and less prone to developing resistance common to conventional antibiotics. Based on this, this invention designs and synthesizes a series of small-molecule cationic antimicrobial peptide mimics by adding hydrophilic diamines or hydrophobic adamantane to the amino or carboxyl termini or side chains of amino acids such as phenylalanine, tryptophan, isoleucine, cysteine, methionine, and lysine to enhance the amphiphilicity of the amino acids. This invention, through screening for antibacterial activity, studying antibacterial mechanisms, bacterial resistance, stability, anti-biofilm properties, and therapeutic potential against infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria, has discovered that these antimicrobial peptide mimics possess good potential against drug-resistant bacterial infections and can be used to prepare drugs against bacterial or drug-resistant bacterial infections. The bacteria are selected from drug-resistant bacteria (such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant enterococci), Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, streptococci (such as agalactiae, enterococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pyogenes), and Gram-positive bacilli such as anthrax spores. Bacilli, Listeria monocytogenes and Corynebacterium diphtheriae; Gram-negative cocci (such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae) and Gram-negative bacilli, such as Enterobacteriaceae (e.g., Escherichia coli), Haemophilus influenzae, Citrobacter (such as Citrobacter zedoaria and Citrobacter polymorpha), Salmonella and Shigella; as well as Klebsiella pneumoniae (such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytetracycline), Enterobacteriaceae (such as Aeromonas and Polymonas), Hafnia, Enterobacter strychnifolia (such as Enterobacter plastella), Proteus (such as Proteus, Reiterella and Proteus), Providencia, Yersinia, and trophotropic Gram-negative bacilli. In addition, the antibacterial spectrum also includes Pseudomonas aeruginosa (such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Meckiae) and strict anaerobes, such as Clostridium fragilis, Peptococcus, anaerobic streptococci and Clostridium spp.; as well as mycoplasma (such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Mycoplasma hominis and Mycoplasma urogenitalia), and mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
[0032] Compared with the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0033] (1) The present invention changes the amphiphilicity of the backbone by linking hydrophobic groups and cationic groups such as adamantane and fatty amines to the side chain thiol groups of different amino-terminal amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal and cysteine, thereby obtaining adamantane-modified peptides that can treat infectious diseases of sensitive and drug-resistant bacteria.
[0034] (2) The antimicrobial peptide mimics of the present invention (adamantane-modified peptides) can cause cell membrane depolarization and disrupt cell membrane integrity, can kill bacteria rapidly, can inhibit biofilm formation, have certain biofilm clearance activity, and are not prone to inducing bacterial resistance. They have good activity against Gram-positive bacteria and show good antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). They can solve the current problem of lack of drugs against drug-resistant bacteria, and can replace or assist the preparation of drugs for treating infectious diseases caused by various drug-resistant bacteria in clinical use. They can be used to prepare drugs for infectious diseases caused by sensitive bacteria and drug-resistant bacteria. They have high antimicrobial activity, low toxicity, and are not affected by traditional drug resistance mechanisms. Attached Figure Description

[0134] Example 8: Assay of the in vitro antibacterial activity of adamantane-modified peptides
[0135] The purified adamantane-modified peptides A1-A42 from Example 7 were subjected to in vitro antibacterial activity assays. The strains used for the in vitro antibacterial activity assays of the adamantane-modified peptides and control antibiotics included standard strains (including *Escherichia coli* (ATCC 25922, *C. albicans* ATCC 14053), *Staphylococcus aureus* (ATCC 25923, *MRSA* ATCC 43300), *Bacillus subtilis* (ATCC 23875), *Staphylococcus epidermidis* (ATCC 12228), *Enterococcus faecalis* (ATCC 19433, *VRE* ATCC 51299), and *Enterococcus gallinarum* (ATCC 49573), all from the U.S. Culture Collection).
[0136] The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of adamantane-modified peptides and control antibiotics against the tested strains were determined using the standard two-fold dilution method recommended by the National Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (NCCLS). Simply, an appropriate amount of cryopreserved bacterial (or fungal) solution was transferred to fresh MH / SD medium and incubated overnight at 37°C and 180 rpm on a shaker. The bacterial solution was then transferred a second time and incubated on a shaker for another 4-5 hours to obtain bacteria in the logarithmic growth phase. Then, 1×10⁻⁶ [amount missing] was taken... 6CFU / mL bacterial culture was added to 96-well plates at 100 μL per well. Then, the peptide was diluted twice (1-100 μg / mL) to 100 μL per well, twice the final concentration. Fresh culture was used as the negative control. Each concentration was tested in triplicate. After adding the antibiotics, the 96-well plates were incubated at 37°C for 18-24 hours. The results were observed, and the concentration of the cyclic peptide antibiotic at the first clear well after the well that showed visibly turbidity was recorded as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of that cyclic peptide antibiotic against the bacteria. The statistical results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0139] Example 9 Assay of hemolytic activity of mammalian erythrocytes (HC) 50 >100 μg / mL)
[0140] The purified adamantane-modified peptides A1, A3, A7, A8, A11, A12, A19, A20, A21, A22, A23, A24, A25, A26, A27, and A36 from Example 7 were co-incubated with mouse erythrocytes, and the OD of the solution was detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. 490 The absorbance was used to assess the hemolytic activity of cyclic peptide antibiotics.
[0141] First, whole blood from mice was centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was discarded. After washing with PBS, 100% red blood cells were collected and diluted to 8%. The red blood cells were then added to a 96-well plate, and the test peptide solution at a concentration of 100 µg / mL was added. The plate was then incubated in a cell culture incubator for 1 h. After centrifugation at 1500 rpm for 15 min, the supernatant was transferred to another 96-well plate, and the OD was measured using a microplate reader. 490 Finally, according to the formula: Hemolysis rate (%) = (Experimental group OD) 490 - Negative control group OD 490 ) / (Positive control group OD 490 - Negative control group OD 490 Calculate the hemolysis rate of each pseudopeptide by multiplying by 100%.
[0142] like Figure 1 As shown, the hemolysis rates of adamantane-modified peptides A19 and A20 exceeded 80%, while other peptides exhibited weak erythrocyte toxicity. The hemolysis rate of adamantane-modified peptide A8 was less than 5%, and the hemolytic toxicity of peptides A1, A2, A7, A11, A12, A21, A22, A23, A24, A25, A26, A27, and A36 ranged from 10% to 20%.
[0143] Example 10 Cytotoxicity Assay
[0144] The cytotoxicity of the purified adamantane-modified peptides A1, A3, A7, A8, A11, A12, A19, A20, A21, A22, A23, A24, A25, A26, A27 and A36 from Example 7 on mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts was determined.
[0145] Cell viability is defined as the number of viable cells in a sample. Cytotoxicity assays are commonly used in drug screening to detect whether a test molecule affects cell proliferation or exhibits direct cytotoxic effects.
[0146] Dilute the cell suspension in good condition to 5 × 10⁻⁶. 4 After adding cells at a concentration of 100 μL / mL to each well of a 96-well plate, the cells were incubated for 24 h. Then, the adamantane-modified peptide solution was added, and the plate was incubated for another 24 h. Next, 10 μL of 5 mg / mL MTT was added to each well, and the plate was incubated in the dark for 3–5 h. The liquid in the 96-well plate was discarded, and 150 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added to each well. The plate was shaken for 15 min, and the absorbance at 570 nm was measured. The survival rate (%) was calculated using the formula: OD0.05 = OD0.05 of the experimental group. 570 / Control group OD 570 Calculate cell viability by multiplying by 100%.
[0147] like Figure 2 As shown, the cell survival rate after treatment with adamantane-modified peptides A19 and A20 was less than 60%, while other peptides showed weak toxicity to mouse fibroblasts. Cell survival rates after treatment with A8 and A11 were higher than 90%, while cell survival rates after treatment with A1, A2, A7, A12, A21, A22, A23, A24, A25, A26, A27, and A36 ranged from 70% to 90%.
[0148] Example 11: Determination of bactericidal kinetics
[0149] Using the purified adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 from Example 7 as representatives, the effect of cyclic peptide antibiotics on the growth and proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 at different time intervals was determined by colony-forming unit (CFU) counting method. The bactericidal kinetics of the cyclic peptide antibiotics were then represented by plotting the time interval on the x-axis and the logarithm of the colony count per milliliter on the y-axis. Simply put, the logarithmic phase concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ was used... 6CFU / mL of Staphylococcus aureus was added to a 96-well plate, followed by the addition of cyclic peptide antibiotics (final concentration 4×MIC). The plates were co-cultured at 37°C. At time intervals of 0 h, 1 / 6 h, 1 / 2 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, and 8 h, appropriate amounts of bacterial suspension were taken out, diluted appropriately, and 100 μL of the diluted bacterial suspension was evenly spread onto MH solid medium using a spreader. After incubation overnight, colony counting was performed.
[0150] Figure 3 The results showed that at a concentration of 4×MIC, the adamantane-modified peptide A8 could kill bacteria within 2 hours, and the peptide A11 could kill bacteria within 6 hours, both demonstrating rapid bacterial killing ability.
[0151] Example 12 Drug Resistance Determination
[0152] The purified adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 from Example 7 were selected for the following resistance assays. The potential for cyclic peptide antibiotics to induce bacterial resistance was assessed by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 in 21 consecutive measurements. Simply, Staphylococcus aureus in logarithmic growth phase was diluted and added to a 96-well microtiter plate. The MIC was determined using the classic two-fold dilution method, and the concentration in the first well where no turbidity was observed was recorded as the initial MIC0. Then, half a well containing MIC0 was used as the bacterial culture for the next MIC measurement, and the first MIC was determined in the same manner and recorded as MIC1. Subsequently, the MIC values of cyclic peptide antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus were continuously measured in the same manner for 21 consecutive measurements, recorded as MIC21. Finally, a graph was plotted with the number of measurements on the x-axis and the ratio of each MIC value to the MIC0 value on the y-axis to represent the assessment of the development of bacterial resistance induced by cyclic peptide antibiotics. The clinical antibiotic Amoxicillin was used as a control.
[0153] like Figure 4 As shown, in the 21-day bacterial resistance test, the MIC values of adamantane-modified peptide A8 were 6.25–12.5 µg / mL, and the MIC values of adamantane-modified peptide A11 were 3.125–6.25 µg / mL, which were 1–2 times different from the initial MIC. The bacteria did not develop resistance to them.
[0154] The initial MIC for the amoxicillin group was 0.16 µg / mL. The MIC value on day 7 was 8 times the initial value, the MIC value on day 12 was 32 times the initial value, and the MIC value on day 15 was 250 times the initial value.
[0155] Example 13 Effects on bacterial cell membranes
[0156] The effects of the peptides on bacterial cell membranes were evaluated by detecting the disruptive effects of adamantane-modified peptides, represented by the purified A8 and A11 peptides from Example 7, on the cell membrane potential of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and their induction of PI uptake in Staphylococcus aureus.
[0157] 1. The disruptive effect of adamantane-modified peptides on the membrane potential of Staphylococcus aureus
[0158] The disruptive effect of adamantane-modified peptides on the membrane potential of Staphylococcus aureus was determined by the DiOC2(3) fluorescent probe method. Simply, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 was incubated at 37°C for 18 hours, centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes, and the precipitate was collected. The precipitate was washed three times with 10 mM PBS (pH 7.4) containing 0.1% glucose and then resuspended to OD600 = 0.5. Subsequently, an equal volume of 60 µM DiOC2(3) solution was added to the bacterial suspension, and the suspension was incubated at 37°C in the dark for 15 minutes. Then, the bacterial suspension containing DiOC2(3) (50 μL / well) was added to a 96-well microtiter plate, followed by the addition of 50 μL of cyclic peptide antibiotics at different concentrations (ranging from 1 to 8 times the MIC), and incubated for 30 minutes. Finally, the fluorescence of each well was detected using a microplate reader (Synergy NEO2, Agilent), with an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and two emission wavelengths of 530 nm and 630 nm, respectively. 0.1% Triton X-100 was used as a positive control, and PBS was used as a negative control.
[0159] like Figure 5 As shown, adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 disrupt bacterial membrane potential in a concentration-dependent manner, and can completely disrupt bacterial membrane potential at a concentration of 4×MIC.
[0160] 2. Determination of the effects of adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 on bacterial cell membrane integrity disruption
[0161] The disruptive effect of adamantane-modified peptides on bacterial cell membrane integrity was assessed by measuring the uptake of the fluorescent dye propidium iodide (PI) by Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) after treatment with a cyclic peptide antibiotic. Simply, after overnight incubation of Staphylococcus aureus at 37°C, the bacterial culture was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes, washed three times with PBS (10 mM, pH=7.4), and resuspended to 1×10⁻⁶. 9The concentration of CFU / mL was determined. Subsequently, 100 μL of Staphylococcus aureus suspension was thoroughly mixed with an equal volume of cyclic peptide antibiotic solution and incubated at 37°C in a shaker for 1 hour. Then, 10 μL of PI (1 mg / mL) was added and incubated in the dark for 15 minutes for flow cytometry analysis (NovoCyte Quanteon, Agilent). The untreated group served as a negative control; alternatively, 10 μL each of PI (10 µM) and Hoechst 33342 (10 µM) were added and incubated in the dark for 15 minutes for fluorescence inverted microscopy imaging.
[0162] like Figure 6 As shown, after Staphylococcus aureus was treated with adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 at a concentration of 4×MIC, the positive rate of PI detected by flow cytometry was greater than 90%, while the positive rate of PI in Staphylococcus aureus treated with PBS was less than 10%. This indicates that adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 can disrupt bacterial cell membranes.
[0163] like Figure 7 As shown, Staphylococcus aureus treated with adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 exhibited significant red fluorescence, while Staphylococcus aureus treated with PBS did not show any red fluorescence. This indicates that adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 can disrupt the bacterial cell membrane, allowing PI to enter the bacteria.
[0164] like Figure 8 As shown, after co-incubation of Staphylococcus aureus with 4×MIC adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11, cryo-transmission electron microscopy revealed that the Staphylococcus aureus cells in the negative control group (0.9% NaCl) exhibited intact cytoplasmic membranes, while those treated with adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 showed disruption of the bacterial cell membranes, resulting in leakage of contents. This further indicates that adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 exert their antibacterial effects through a membrane disruption mechanism.
[0165] Example 14: Activity assay for inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation
[0166] In this embodiment, the purified adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 from Example 7 were selected for the following determinations.
[0167] The inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) biofilm formation by cyclic peptide antibiotics was determined using the crystal violet method. Simply put, a concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ was used. 6Log-phase Staphylococcus aureus (CFU / mL) was added to a 96-well plate, followed by the addition of adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 at concentrations ranging from 1×MIC to 16×MIC. The plate was then incubated at 37°C. After 24 hours, the surface-dwelling bacteria were removed from the 96-well plate, washed with PBS, fixed with methanol, stained with crystal violet solution for 15 min, and then dissolved in 95% ethanol to determine the OD (octane rating). 570 According to the formula, the biofilm formation inhibition rate (%) = [1 - (experimental group OD] / (experimental group OD)] 570 - Negative control group OD 570 ) / (Positive control group OD570 - Negative control group OD 570 )]×100%.
[0168] like Figure 9 As shown, adamantane-modified peptide A8 inhibited approximately 50% of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation at a concentration of 2×MIC, and completely inhibited biofilm formation at the same concentration. Peptide A11 completely inhibited Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation at a concentration of 1×MIC.
[0169] Example 15 In vivo antibacterial activity assay
[0170] The purified adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 from Example 7 were used as representatives for in vivo antibacterial activity testing. Mouse models of MRSA-infected keratitis and mouse models of pneumonia were established, and the therapeutic effects of adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 in these animal models were evaluated.
[0171] 1. Mouse keratitis model
[0172] To determine the therapeutic potential of adamantane-modified peptides in a mouse model of pneumonia, female Kunming mice were randomly assigned to an untreated control group, a model group, and treatment groups for adamantane-modified peptides A8, A11, and vancomycin. After anesthetizing mice in the model group, A8, A11, and vancomycin treatment groups, 25 μL of OD250 was administered via a nebulizer needle under visual guidance. 600 Mice were injected with a 0.35 μL MRSA (ATCC 43300) bacterial suspension via the trachea. At 2 and 12 h post-infection, mice in the model group received intraperitoneal injections of saline, while the treatment groups were treated with 5 mg / kg of adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11, linezolid (5 mg / kg), and vancomycin, respectively. Twenty-four hours post-infection, all mice were sacrificed, and bacterial colony counting and H&E staining histological examination were performed.
[0173] like Figure 10As shown, adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 (5 mg / kg) effectively reduced the bacterial load in the lungs (colony loads of 2.30 × 10⁻⁶ and 2.30 × 10⁻⁶, respectively) within 24 hours. 6 CFU / mL and 1.77×10 6 CFU / mL, p<0.001), compared with the vancomycin (5 mg / kg) treatment group (colony load 8.05 × 10⁻⁶). 6 The concentration of CFU / mL (p<0.001) was comparable. H&E staining results showed that the alveolar morphology of the adamantane-modified peptide A8 and A11 treatment groups was intact, and no obvious inflammatory cells and capillary congestion were observed. This was similar to the lung characteristics of the linezolid and uninfected groups. In contrast, the alveolar wall capillary congestion and increased inflammatory cells were observed in the model group. The alveolar wall was thickened, the alveolar tissue was reduced, and the capillary congestion and increased inflammatory cells were observed in the model group.
[0174] 2. Mouse pneumonia model
[0175] To test the in vivo antibacterial activity of the peptides in a mouse model of keratitis, Kunming mice were randomly divided into a negative control group, an adamantane-modified peptide A8 treatment group, an adamantane-modified peptide A11 treatment group, and a linezolid control group. After anesthetizing the mice in the model group, treatment group, and linezolid control group, the cornea was scraped with a needle and then infected with 10 μL of MRSA bacterial suspension to establish a keratitis model. Twelve hours post-infection, mice in the adamantane-modified peptide A8, A11, and linezolid control groups were treated with multiple eye drops of 10 μL of 1 mg / mL adamantane-modified peptide A8, A11, and linezolid, respectively. Simultaneously, the model group received 10 μL of 0.9% saline each time. Eight hours after treatment, the mice were sacrificed, and their ocular tissues were collected for bacterial colony counting and H&E staining histological examination.
[0176] like Figure 11 As shown, the bacterial load in the eyeballs of the model group was significantly higher after 8 hours of treatment with saline solution, with an average colony load of 2.93 × 10⁻⁶. 7 CFU / mL, while the ocular bacterial load was significantly reduced after treatment with adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 and linezolid, with average colony loads of 4.83 × 10⁻⁶ CFU / mL. 6 CFU / mL, 7.05×10 6 CFU / mL and 8.05×10 6CFU / mL. There was no significant difference in colony loading between the adamantane-modified peptides A8 and A11 and the positive control group linezolid (p>0.5). H&E staining results showed that the model group had corneal defects and a large number of inflammatory cells, while the adamantane-modified peptides A8, A11, and linezolid treatment groups showed relatively intact corneal epithelial cells and basal layer, with fewer inflammatory cells.
