Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to a variety of camphorol-modified peptide compounds, preparation methods thereof, and their applications in pharmaceuticals and disease treatment. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the incidence of thrombotic diseases, especially ischemic stroke, has been increasing. The recurrence of stroke patients will lead to the aggravation of existing neurological dysfunctions, disability, and a significant increase in mortality, seriously threatening human health. Therefore, the drug treatment of thrombotic diseases is the focus and hotspot of ischemic stroke treatment.
[0003] Ischemic stroke, also known as stroke, triggers multiple mechanisms in its development, including the activation of glutamate receptors, assisting glutamate release and calcium ion influx, thereby activating nitric oxide, cysteine protease, and protease. This causes inflammation, the generation of free radicals, and protein damage leading to neuronal cell apoptosis (Rogalewski et al., 2006). Several other key features of stroke include blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage, oxidative stress, cytokine-mediated toxicity, excitotoxicity, and neuronal function loss (Kuriakose and Xiao, 2020). The simultaneous activation of multiple pathways makes the treatment of ischemic stroke and neurological function damage challenging.

[0053] [Compound]
[0054] The treatment of thrombotic diseases, especially those occurring in the brain, is relatively complex. Due to the existence of the blood-brain barrier, many thrombolytic drugs cannot penetrate the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain. In addition, a large number of free radicals generated during the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion process can also damage brain tissue and cause impaired brain function. Therefore, compounds that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and have a brain-protective effect are very important for the treatment of brain thrombotic diseases.
[0055] Generally, the "blood-brain barrier" refers to the barrier between the cerebral capillary wall and glial cells that forms between the plasma and brain cells and the barrier between the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid formed by the choroid plexus, and these barriers can prevent certain substances from entering the brain tissue from the blood.
[0056] The present application provides a bornane-modified peptide compound or a prodrug, tautomer, optical isomer, geometric isomer, solvate or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that can be used for thrombotic diseases. The compound includes a bornane moiety and a polypeptide moiety covalently coupled (chemically covalently bonded) to the bornane.
[0057] As used herein, the term "polypeptide" refers to a compound formed by dehydration condensation of three or more amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Polypeptides can be prepared by chemical synthesis or by proteolytic hydrolysis. The types of amino acids in polypeptides can include, but are not limited to, natural or unnatural amino acids such as L-amino acids, D-amino acids, α-amino acids or β-amino acids.
[0058] In some embodiments, the compound has the structure shown in Formula I:
[0059]
[0060] Wherein, L represents a linker, and P 1 represents the polypeptide moiety.
[0061] Existing studies have shown that inflammation is a potential therapeutic target for ischemic stroke, and it can interact with factors such as excitotoxicity and oxidative stress to form a vicious cycle pathway, leading to aggravated injury, and further resulting in enlarged infarcts, damaged nerve cells, brain edema, etc.
[0062] Bornane (or borneol) is a small molecule bicyclic monoterpene compound with good lipophilicity, which can easily cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain to exert its anti-inflammatory and brain-protective effects. The bornane moiety in the compound shown in Formula I can improve the lipophilicity of the compound, facilitate the compound to cross the blood-brain barrier, and exert anti-inflammatory and brain-protective effects.
[0063] In some embodiments, the bornane is (-)-borneol. In some embodiments, the bornane is (+)-borneol, which can inhibit the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α (Tumor Necrosis Factor-α) and IL-1β (Interleukin-1β) and pro-inflammatory proteins such as COX-2 (Cyclooxygenase-2) and iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase) during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, and activate the γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAa) receptor, blocking the above vicious cycle pathway, thereby reducing apoptosis and necrosis of cells, protecting the blood-brain barrier, reducing brain edema, and thus alleviating ischemia-reperfusion injury.
[0064] The linker is used to connect the bornane alcohol moiety and the polypeptide moiety. In some embodiments, the bornane alcohol is connected to the polypeptide moiety via a cleavable or non-cleavable linker L. In some embodiments, the bornane alcohol is connected to the polypeptide moiety via a cleavable linker L. Under appropriate cleavage conditions, the compound shown in Formula I is cleaved to release free bornane alcohol and / or polypeptide, thereby exerting a therapeutic effect.
[0065] In some embodiments, the bornane alcohol is bonded to the linker L via an ester bond. In some embodiments, the linker L forms an ester bond connection with the hydroxyl group of the bornane alcohol. In some embodiments, the linker L is bonded to the N-terminus of the polypeptide moiety via an amide bond.
[0066] In some embodiments, the linker L is -C(=O)-.
[0067] In some embodiments, the compound has the structural formula shown in Formula II:
[0068]
[0069] Wherein, 0 and 1 represent the number of H; when the number of H is 1, -NH- represents the imino group at the N-terminus of the polypeptide moiety; when the number of H is 0, N represents the ring nitrogen atom at the N-terminus of the polypeptide moiety; P represents the polypeptide residues of the polypeptide moiety other than the N-terminal -N(H) 0,1 - other than.
[0070] In the compounds provided by the present disclosure, the polypeptide moiety is derived from a polypeptide having thrombolytic activity and / or free radical scavenging activity.

[0071] In some embodiments, the polypeptide of the polypeptide moiety has thrombolytic activity. In some embodiments, the polypeptide of the polypeptide moiety has free radical scavenging activity. In some embodiments, the polypeptide of the polypeptide moiety has both thrombolytic and free radical scavenging activities, and synergistically acts with bornane alcohol in vivo to simultaneously achieve the effects of dissolving thrombus, anti-inflammation, and eliminating free radicals.
[0072] In some embodiments, the polypeptide moiety includes a polypeptide fragment that is Pro-Ala-Lys, Ala-Lys-Pro, or Lys-Ala-Pro from the N-terminus to the C-terminus.

[0092]
[0093]
[0094] The borneol-modified peptide compound provided by the present disclosure has suitable physical properties, can penetrate the blood-brain barrier well, and can self-degrade in the brain to release borneol and the polypeptide with thrombolytic activity, playing the roles of thrombolysis, anti-inflammation and free radical scavenging. The two work synergistically to reduce cell necrosis and tissue damage, and play a role in protecting against cerebral ischemia.
[0095] [Preparation method]
[0096] The present disclosure provides a preparation method of the aforementioned compound, including: preparing an intermediate including an ester bond from borneol and a coupling agent under reaction conditions, and sequentially bonding the intermediate with corresponding amino acids, and purifying to obtain the compound.
[0097] As used herein, the term "coupling agent" refers to a class of substances having at least two reactive groups, and the reactive groups can participate in chemical reactions and form chemical bonds, thereby combining two substances.
[0098] In some embodiments, the coupling agent can be phenyl chloroformate 4-nitrophenyl ester.
[0099] In some embodiments, solid-phase peptide synthesis techniques can be used to sequentially bond intermediates with corresponding amino acids. Solid-phase peptide synthesis techniques are well-known and can be practiced proficiently by those skilled in the art. In this method, the synthesis of the peptides in the compounds of the present disclosure can be carried out by sequentially binding the desired amino acid residues one by one to the growing peptide chain according to the general principles of the solid-phase method. These methods are disclosed in a number of references, including Merrifield, R.B., Solid phase synthesis (Nobel lecture). Angew Chem 24:799-810 (1985); and Barany et al., The Peptides, Analysis, Synthesis and Biology, Volume 2, Gross, E. and Meienhofer, J. editors, Academic Press 1-284 (1980).
[0100] In the chemical synthesis of peptides, the reactive side-chain groups of each amino acid residue are protected with suitable protecting groups to prevent chemical reactions at this site before the protecting groups are removed. For example, when reacting at the carboxyl group of an amino acid or fragment, the α-amino group is protected with a protecting group (e.g., 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc), tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)), and then the α-amino protecting group is selectively removed, thereby allowing subsequent reactions at this site.
[0101] Orthogonal protecting groups can be used as appropriate to prepare polypeptides containing side chains, for example, Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OH, Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, Fmoc-Arg(pbf)-OH.
[0102] Any suitable reagent can be used to cleave the compound from the solid phase, for example, a combination of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), triisopropylsilane (TIS), and water. The final product is precipitated by adding cold ether and collected by filtration.
[0103] Purification can be carried out using any one of the known methods in the prior art, such as reverse-high performance liquid chromatography.
[0104] Although the synthesis is mainly described with reference to solid-phase peptide synthesis methods, it should be understood that other chemical and synthetic methods can be employed to prepare the compounds of the present invention.

[0353] 14.6 Experimental methods
[0354] The MCAO (middle cerebral artery occlusion) reperfusion model was made with reference to the Longa method. Food was withheld 12 hours before surgery, and free access to water was allowed. The rats were anesthetized by inhaling isoflurane. A midline cervical incision was made to expose the common carotid artery (CCA), external carotid artery (ECA), and pterygopalatine artery. A suture thread (specially purchased suture thread, Beijing Xinong, A2636 - A4 suitable for rats weighing 250 - 280 g, and marked at 20 mm) was inserted through the incision of the right ECA in all rats. The pterygopalatine artery was briefly clamped to prevent misinsertion. The length of the suture thread was about 18 - 20 mm from the bifurcation of the CCA, depending on the body weight of the animal. The right middle cerebral artery was embolized, and then the skin was sutured. The end of the suture thread was fixed to the skin. After 2 hours of ischemia, the suture thread was carefully withdrawn to form reperfusion. In the sham operation group, the suture thread was not inserted, and the other steps were the same as those in the operation group. The body temperature was maintained at (37 ± 0.5) °C during ischemia and 2 hours after reperfusion. The criteria for a successful model were that the rats showed left limb paralysis, unstable standing, and circling to one side when the tail was lifted after the anesthesia was lifted. After the rats woke up, they were scored according to the Zea - Longa 5 - point scoring standard: 0 points represented no neurological deficit symptoms; 1 point represented incomplete extension of the contralateral forelimb; 2 points represented circling towards the hemiplegic side when walking; 3 points represented falling towards the hemiplegic side when walking; 4 points represented inability to walk spontaneously and consciousness disorder; 5 points represented death. A cumulative score of 1 point and above was considered a successful model; any score of 5 points, subarachnoid hemorrhage found during dissection, or no neurological deficit symptoms (0 points) were considered failed models.
[0355] The animals were randomly grouped according to the scores, and the number of valid animals in each group was not less than 8. At 1 hour after ischemia, 20% propylene glycol aqueous solution, positive control drug (edaravone 8 mg / kg + dextrancamphor sulfonic acid 2 mg / kg), and the test article at 5 μmol / kg were injected into the rats in each group via the tail vein. At 24 hours after administration, the neurological deficit signs of the animals were scored according to the Zea - Longa five - point method to evaluate the drug efficacy. 2,3,5 - triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining was used to determine the cerebral infarction volume. The animals were decapitated after excessive inhalation of carbon dioxide, and the rat brains were quickly removed and placed in ice - saline for 10 minutes. Coronal sections with a thickness of 2 mm were evenly cut in a brain trough and quickly placed in a 2% TTC solution (37 °C) for staining for 30 minutes, and then fixed with 4% paraformic acid. After 24 hours, digital photos were taken with a digital camera, input into a computer, and the infarct area was calculated using image - processing software (ADOBE, PHOTOSHOP). The pink area was normal brain tissue, and the white area was the infarct area. To reduce the influence of cerebral ischemia - hemisphere edema on the results, the infarct volume was calculated by subtracting the volume of the normal tissue on the ipsilateral side from the volume of the normal tissue on the contralateral side of the injury, and the results were expressed as a percentage of the infarct volume. The cerebral infarction rate = (volume of normal tissue on the contralateral side - volume of normal tissue on the ipsilateral side) / volume of normal tissue on the contralateral side × 100%. All statistical processes were performed using GraphPad Prism software.
[0356] 14.7 Experimental Results
[0357] 14.7.1 Effects of the Test Drugs on the Neurological Symptom Behavior of Rats with Acute Cerebral Ischemia
[0358] After cerebral ischemia, the anesthetized rats showed varying degrees of focal neurological dysfunction after waking up, manifested as weakness in the left lower limb, circling to the left when walking straight, falling to the left or even unable to walk severely, and even developing consciousness disorders. When the tail was lifted, it was manifested as flexion and adduction of the left forelimb, and straightening and rotation to the right of the hind limb. After cerebral ischemia, obvious neurological injury symptoms appeared in the animals of the model group, and the neurological function score increased significantly (P<0.05). Table 4 shows the number of surviving animals and the scores of the behavioral evaluation after the experiment. It can be seen that compared with the solvent group, the behavioral scores of the test article groups were significantly reduced, indicating that the test article could significantly improve the neurological symptom behavior function of rats with acute cerebral ischemia. The behavioral scores of compounds PDC-1 and PDC-3 were basically equivalent to those of the positive control group, indicating that PDC-1 and PDC-3 could significantly improve the neurological symptom behavior function of rats with acute cerebral ischemia.
[0359] 14.7.2 Effects of the Test Drugs on the Infarct Volume of Rats with Acute Cerebral Ischemia
[0360] After staining, the normal brain tissue showed a whole rose red color, while the infarcted tissue showed a white color and the boundary was distinct. Except for the sham operation group, obvious infarct lesions appeared in the brains of rats in other groups. Table 4 shows the cerebral infarction rates of the experimental animals. Compared with the solvent group, the cerebral infarction rates of the test article groups were significantly reduced, indicating that the test article could significantly reduce the infarct volume of rats. The cerebral infarction rates of compounds PDC-1 and PDC-4 were lower than those of the positive control group, indicating that PDC-1 and PDC-4 significantly improved cerebral tissue infarction and the effect was better than the positive control drug.

[0363] Values are expressed as mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA and Dunnett's multiple comparisons test were used for analysis. Compared with the sham operation group, *P<0.05; compared with the solvent group, #P<0.05.
[0364] In summary, compound PDC-1 can effectively prevent the occurrence of motor disorders and cerebral tissue infarction in rats with cerebral ischemia.
[0365] Example 15: Detection of the Continuous Administration Therapeutic Effect of Camphenol Polypeptide Conjugate on Stroke Rats
[0366] The method for making the MCAO reperfusion rat model, the model scoring criteria are basically the same as those in Example 14, with the differences being: the ischemia time is 1 h, and the drug is administered via the caudal vein of the rat. After ischemia reaches 2 h, the suture is carefully withdrawn to form reperfusion.
[0367] The animals were randomly grouped according to the model scores, and the animal grouping and drug administration methods are shown in Table 5 below:
[0368] Table 5
[0369]
[0370]
[0371] The first drug administration was performed 1 h after ischemia. A 20% propylene glycol aqueous solution, a positive control drug (edaravone 8 mg / kg + dextrancamphor 2 mg / kg), and the test article at 5 μmol / kg were respectively injected into the caudal veins of the rats in each group, and then the drug was continuously administered for 5 days. The neurological deficit signs of the animals were scored according to the Zea-Longa five-point method standard 1 h after modeling (d0, starting score), and the scores were also taken at the same time points on the 1st day (d1, i.e., 24 h after reperfusion), the 2nd day (d2), the 3rd day (d3), the 4th day (d4), the 5th day (d5), and the 6th day (d6) after modeling. The decrease rate of the Zea-Longa score at the end point of the experiment was calculated to investigate the drug efficacy.
[0372] Figure 13 The effects of the test drugs on the neurological symptom behavior of rats with acute cerebral ischemia are shown. Among them, the decreases in the PDC-1, PDC-2, PDC-7, and PDC-10 groups at the end point compared with the starting score of the solvent group were 0.58, 0.64, 0.89, and 0.92 respectively, showing a trend of improving the neurological symptom behavior of rats.
[0373] In addition, the rat brain tissues were stained and the cerebral infarction rate was calculated using the same method as in Example 14 to investigate the effects of the test drugs on the cerebral infarction volume of rats with acute cerebral ischemia. The results are shown in Table 6. It can be found that obvious infarction foci appeared in the brains of the rats after modeling, and the cerebral infarction rate of the rats in the solvent group was significantly higher than that in the sham operation group. After 5 days of continuous drug administration treatment, the positive control drug, PDC-1, and PDC-2 could effectively relieve the cerebral infarction volume, and there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).

[0375]
[0376] The numerical values represent mean ± SD. Analyzed by One-way ANOVA and Dunnett's multiple comparisons test, *P < 0.05 compared with the vehicle group.
