Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polypeptide synthesis, and particularly to a solid-phase synthesis method of linaclotide. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are three main process routes for the purification of crude linaclotide peptide: The first method uses a one-step oxidation strategy to form three pairs of disulfide bonds. This method first synthesizes the linaclotide resin, then cleaves the linaclotide resin to remove all protecting groups and the resin solid phase carrier to obtain a crude linear linaclotide peptide, and finally uses an oxidation system to perform a one-step oxidation reaction on the crude linear linaclotide peptide to complete the construction of three pairs of disulfide bonds. Although this method is simple to operate and only uses one-step oxidation to form three pairs of disulfide bonds, it cannot avoid the occurrence of disulfide bond mismatches, resulting in a low final yield. The second method uses a synthetic method for the complete selective formation of three pairs of disulfide bonds. Its characteristics are the use of different protecting groups in solid-phase synthesis, cleavage to obtain crude linaclotide peptide, and finally all of them are formed in the liquid phase through a distributed removal and oxidation strategy to form three pairs of disulfide bonds. However, this method uses three different cysteine ​​side chain protecting groups and completes the three-step oxidation in the liquid phase. Iodine is used in the liquid phase oxidation process, which not only greatly increases the risk of chromatographic column contamination in the subsequent purification process, but also uses less solvent than the solid phase oxidation, while the liquid phase reaction consumes more solvent. The third method adopts a strategy that combines fragment condensation with step-by-step oxidation. First, a hexapeptide fragment is synthesized, cyclized to obtain a fragment containing a pair of disulfide bonds, and then condensed with another fragment peptide resin to obtain a linaclotide peptide resin containing a pair of disulfide bonds. After cleavage, a crude linaclotide peptide containing a pair of disulfide bonds is obtained. After step-by-step oxidation, the cyclized crude linaclotide is obtained, and then purified to obtain linaclotide. This method uses fragment condensation and step-by-step oxidation. Due to the exchange of disulfide bonds, products with mismatched disulfide bonds will still be formed during the directional oxidation process. Not only is the operation complicated and costly, but the yield is also low, making it unsuitable for scale-up production. In summary, the existing synthesis methods have significant deficiencies in product yield, process simplicity, and large-scale production. Therefore, developing a solid-phase synthesis process for linaclotide has important practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a solid-phase synthesis method of linaclotide, which not only significantly improves the total yield of linaclotide by optimizing the solid-phase synthesis process, but also improves the purity of the crude linaclotide peptide by optimizing the structure and composition of the high-performance liquid chromatography column.

[0150] Experimental example:

[0151] 1. Substitution test of Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-Wang resin

[0152] The Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-Wang resins prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 were collected, and the substitution degrees of the Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-Wang resins prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 were determined using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer.

[0154] 2. Yield

[0155] Figure 1 The solid-phase synthesis process flow chart for linaclotide is shown below. The actual yields of the linaclotide peptide resin and crude linaclotide peptide prepared in Examples 1-2 were weighed, and the crude linaclotide peptide yield was calculated: Yield (%) = Actual crude linaclotide peptide yield / Theoretical yield × 100%.

[0156] The actual yield of the linaclotide peptide resin prepared in Example 1 was 65.39 g, and the actual yield of the crude linaclotide peptide was 4.59 g; the actual yield of the linaclotide peptide resin prepared in Example 2 was 66.83 g, and the actual yield of the crude linaclotide peptide was 4.64 g. Figure 2 is the crude peptide yield of linaclotide prepared in Example 1-2. The crude peptide yield of linaclotide prepared in Example 1 is 98.3%, and the crude peptide yield of linaclotide prepared in Example 2 is 99.4%.

[0157] 3. Purity

[0158] The purity of the crude linaclotide prepared in Examples 1-2, as well as the linaclotide prepared in Examples 3-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3, was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The results are shown in Table 2. Table 2 shows the purity (%).

[0159] Table 2 Purity (%)

[0160]

[0161] As shown in Table 2, the purity of Examples 3-5 of the present invention is higher than that of Examples 1-2. This is because Examples 3-5 use high-performance liquid chromatography to purify crude linaclotide peptide to obtain linaclotide, while Examples 1-2 do not purify the crude linaclotide peptide. This shows that the use of high-performance liquid chromatography to purify crude linaclotide peptide can effectively improve the purity of linaclotide.

[0162] The purity of Examples 3-5 was higher than that of Comparative Example 1 because, in the purification of crude linaclotide peptide, Comparative Example 1 used a prepolymerization solution prepared by mixing methyl methacrylate, methanol, 1-dodecanol, and azobisisobutyronitrile to fill the chromatographic column, which was then used for purification of crude linaclotide peptide after a water bath reaction; while Examples 3-5 also added allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate to the prepolymerization solution. The purity of Example 3 was higher than that of Examples 4 and 5 because the amounts of allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate used were different. The purity of Examples 3-5 was higher than that of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 because Examples 3-5 used allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate in combination, while Comparative Example 2 used only allyl benzoate and Comparative Example 3 used only allyltriethoxysilane. This shows that compared with the use of allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate alone, the synergistic use of allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate to prepare a prepolymer solution to fill the chromatographic column and then use it for the purification of crude linaclotide peptide after water bath reaction can effectively improve the purification effect of crude linaclotide peptide and enhance the purity of linaclotide.

[0163] The higher purity of Examples 6-7 than that of Example 3 is due to the further introduction of methylheptenol into the prepolymerization solution in Examples 6-7; the higher purity of Example 6 than that of Example 7 is due to the different amounts of methylheptenol used; and the higher purity of Examples 6-7 than that of Comparative Example 4 is due to the fact that Comparative Example 4 only introduced methylheptenol into the prepolymerization solution without using allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate. This indicates that further introducing methylheptenol into the prepolymerization solution, then filling the prepolymerization solution into a chromatographic column, and then using it for purification of crude linaclotide after a water bath reaction can further improve the purity of linaclotide.

[0164] 4. Purification stability of chromatographic columns

[0165] To evaluate the stability of the chromatographic columns used in the purification of crude linaclotide peptide in Examples 3-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4, crude linaclotide peptide prepared in Example 1 was used as the test sample. The crude linaclotide peptide was injected 10 times according to the purification methods described in Examples 3-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4, respectively. The resulting linaclotide was collected and tested for purity. Dead time was calibrated using the solvent peak. The relative standard deviation (%) of the column retention factor was calculated as follows: standard deviation of retention factor / arithmetic mean of retention factor × 100%. Retention factor = (retention time of target compound - dead time) / dead time. The results are shown in Table 3. Table 3 shows the relative standard deviation (%).

[0166] Table 3 Relative standard deviation (%)

[0167]

[0168] As shown in Table 3, the relative standard deviations of Examples 3-5 are lower than those of Comparative Example 1. This is because, in the purification of crude linaclotide peptide, Comparative Example 1 uses a prepolymer solution prepared by mixing methyl methacrylate, methanol, 1-dodecanol, and azobisisobutyronitrile to fill the chromatographic column, which is then used for purification of crude linaclotide peptide after a water bath reaction; while Examples 3-5 also add allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate to the prepolymer solution. The relative standard deviation of Example 3 is lower than that of Examples 4 and 5 due to the different amounts of allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate used. The relative standard deviations of Examples 3-5 are lower than those of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 because Examples 3-5 use allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate in combination, while Comparative Example 2 uses only allyl benzoate and Comparative Example 3 uses only allyltriethoxysilane. This shows that compared with the use of allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate alone, the synergistic use of allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate to prepare a prepolymer solution to fill the chromatographic column and then use it for the purification of crude linaclotide peptide after water bath reaction can effectively improve the purification stability of the chromatographic column for crude linaclotide peptide, thereby achieving a better purification effect for crude linaclotide peptide.

[0169] The relative standard deviations of Examples 6-7 were lower than those of Example 3 because Examples 6-7 further introduced methylheptenol into the prepolymerization solution; the relative standard deviation of Example 6 was lower than that of Example 7 due to the different amounts of methylheptenol used; and the relative standard deviations of Examples 6-7 were lower than those of Comparative Example 4 because Comparative Example 4 only introduced methylheptenol into the prepolymerization solution without using allyltriethoxysilane and allyl benzoate. This suggests that further introducing methylheptenol into the prepolymerization solution, then filling the prepolymerization solution into a chromatographic column, and then using it for purification of crude linaclotide peptide after a water bath reaction can further improve the chromatographic column's stability in purifying crude linaclotide peptide, thereby further enhancing the purification efficiency of crude linaclotide peptide.
