Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid-phase polypeptide preparation technology, specifically to a tetrapeptide-30, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) processes, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is widely used in the dissolution and coupling reactions of amino acids due to its excellent solubility. However, DMF has been clearly classified as a reproductive toxicant and has environmental accumulation properties, posing a potential threat not only to the health of operators but also to ecological and environmental safety.

[0003] Although various solvents have been developed to replace DMF in existing technologies, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), there are still many limitations, mainly including: 1. Imbalance between toxicity and economy: Although NMP is less toxic than DMF, it is still considered to have reproductive hazards and is more expensive; while solvents with lower toxicity, such as anisole, are not good at dissolving Fmoc-protected amino acids when used alone, which can lead to a decrease in coupling efficiency and limit their application in SPPS. 2. Low reaction efficiency: Existing SPPS mostly adopts batch operation, and the reaction process relies on diffusion mass transfer mechanism, which leads to long time consumption for key steps such as coupling and deprotection. Especially when preparing long-chain or complex peptides, the overall cycle can be extended to several days, which significantly affects production efficiency. 3. Poor adaptability of solvent systems: Current alternative solvents are insufficient in terms of swelling capacity of peptide resins, making it difficult to meet the reaction space required for the preparation of long-chain peptides. At the same time, they have poor compatibility with advanced preparation processes such as continuous flow, which limits the integration and automation of the process. 4. High purification difficulty: Byproducts are easily generated during the reaction process, and some solvents are difficult to remove, resulting in limited purity of the target product. Multiple purification steps are required, which not only increases the complexity of the operation, but also increases the overall cost and environmental burden. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a tetrapeptide-30, its preparation method, and its application to overcome the deficiencies in the existing technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a technical solution: A method for preparing tetrapeptide-30, wherein the sequence of tetrapeptide-30 is as follows: H-Pro-Lys-Glu-Lys-OH includes the following steps: S100. The resin is loaded into a continuous flow reaction system and pretreated with a green solvent; S200. The coupling and deprotection steps of four Fmoc-protected amino acids are completed sequentially through a continuous flow reaction system to obtain the final peptide chain; The amino acids protected by Fmoc are, in order: Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OH, Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, and Fmoc-Pro-OH; S300. The final peptide chain is cleaved to obtain the tetrapeptide-30; The green solvent is a mixed solution of N-formylmorpholine and anisole in a volume ratio of 1:1.

[0006] Preferably, in step S100, the resin includes at least one of CTC resin and ClT resin, with a substitution value of 0.4 mmol / g to 3.0 mmol / g.

[0007] Preferably, in step S100, the flow rate of the continuous flow reaction is 1-3 mL / min, the reactor temperature is 25℃-40℃, the ultrasonic power is 100 W-400 W, and the residence time is 30 min-60 min.

[0008] Preferably, in step S200, the flow rate of the continuous flow reaction is 1 mL / min - 3 mL / min, the reactor temperature is 25℃ - 40℃, the ultrasonic power is 100 W - 140 W, and the residence time of the coupling reaction is 10 min - 30 min.

[0009] Preferably, in step S200, the coupling agent in the coupling step includes at least one of 5-(hydroxyimino)-1,3-dimethyl-1,3-thiazine-2,4,6-trione and N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide.

[0010] Preferably, in step S300, after the final peptide chain is cleaved, the tetrapeptide-30 is obtained by purification using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

[0011] Column: Yuexu LP-C18; Mobile phase: water; Gradient: 100% water, 1-15 min; Flow rate: 1 ml / min; Injection volume: 5 μL; Detection wavelength: 215nm.

[0012] The present invention also provides a tetrapeptide-30, wherein the purity of the tetrapeptide-30 is ≥98%.

[0013] On the other hand, the present invention also provides the application of tetrapeptide-30 in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and diagnostic reagents.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. Precise formulation with green solvent: A 1:1 volume ratio of low-toxicity, biodegradable NMF and anisole is used, combining strong polarity with moderate hydrophobicity, making it a complete replacement for DMF. This mixed solvent improves the solubility of Fmoc amino acid monomers, activating agents, and resins, poses no reproductive toxicity risk, and has lower volatility than DMF. 2. Synergistic enhancement of process: By combining the laminar shear effect and ultrasonic cavitation of the continuous flow reactor, the mass transfer limitations of traditional batch reactions are overcome, shortening the coupling reaction time of tetrapeptide-30 and reducing the incidence of side reactions. 3. Verification of universality: The solvent system performed well in the synthesis of tetrapeptide-30, with a coupling efficiency of over 95% for each coupling. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a synthesis roadmap under implementation; Figure 2 The NMR spectrum of tetrapeptide-30, a product from one embodiment, is shown below. Figure 3 Screenshot showing the effects of tetrapeptide-30 in the Meili Xiuxing app. Detailed Implementation

[0016] To better illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0017] In the embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used are commercially available unless otherwise specified.

[0018] To replace the traditional toxic solvent DMF, this invention systematically screens combinations of low-toxicity, biodegradable, and green solvents. By comparing four core indicators—solubility, resin swelling, coupling efficiency, and side reaction rate—the optimal solvent system was determined (test results are summarized in Tables 1-5).

[0019] Example 0 (Performance verification of green solvent NFM / An): To verify the solvent's universality, model reactions were used to test the performance of NFM / An: 1. Solubility test of green solvent; The solubility of the green solvent (NFM / An) for amino acids, coupling reagents, and reaction byproducts was tested.

[0020] Known poorly soluble amino acids Fmoc-Phe-OH, the classic coupling reagent combination OxymaPure / DIC (ethyl cyanohydroxyimino ester / N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide), OxymaB / DIC (5-(hydroxyimino)-1,3-dimethyl-1,3-thiazine-2,4,6-trione / N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide), HATU / DIPEA (O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylurea hexafluorophosphate / N,N-diisopropylethylamine), PyAOP / DIPEA ((7-azabenzotriazol-1-oxy)tripyrrolidinephosphine hexafluorophosphate / N,N-diisopropylethylamine), and the coupling reaction byproduct DIU (diisopropylurea) were selected as references for preliminary screening at a concentration of 0.5%. The solubility of these materials in DMF and NFM / An (1:1, v:v) was tested under M conditions, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0021] Table 1. Solubility of amino acids, coupling reagents, and DIU in green mixed solvents. In the table, unless the concentration is specified as 0.125 M, the solubility is monitored at a concentration of 0.5 M and the mixture is irradiated with ultrasound at 30 °C for 10 minutes.

[0022] As shown in Table 1, the solubility of NFM / An in Fmoc-Phe-OH and OxymaPure / DIC is comparable to that of DMF.

[0023] The solubility of NFM / An for DIU is 125 M, consistent with that of DMF. DIU can be prevented from precipitating by subsequent dilution.

[0024] 2. Resin swelling test; The swelling degree of the CTC resin (substitution value 0.4 mmol / g-3.0 mmol / g) used in this patent was measured under ultrasound at 30°C.

[0025] In solid-phase peptide synthesis, resin swelling is a key characteristic of the solvent.

[0026] Resin swelling energy: (1) Increase the resin volume and internal pores to enhance the mass transfer of reactants to the resin; (2) Improve the diffusion of reactants inside the resin and their contact rate with the reaction sites; (3) Improve the elution efficiency of by-products and excess reagents; (4) Reduce collisions between resin microspheres to prevent breakage.

[0027] Therefore, the swelling degree of the solvent on the resin needs to be tested before it is used in the reaction, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0028] Table 2. Swelling degree of resin in solvent (ml g) -1 ) a test In the table, NFM / An was added to CTC resin (i.e., P-2CTC-Cl resin, 1.0 g) to make its final volume 10 mL. After swelling under ultrasonic conditions at 30 °C for 30 min, the resin volume was measured. The average value was taken from three measurements.

[0029] 4 mL . g -1 Insufficient swelling; 4-7 mL . g -1 For sufficient swelling; >7 mL . g -1 This is due to excessive expansion.

[0030] As shown in Table 2, the swelling degree of CTC resin in NFM / An is 5.0 mL·g. -1 Within the ideal range (4 mL·g) -1 -7 mL·g -1 ).

[0031] 3. Coupling reaction rate test: Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) involves multiple steps, and solvents and process enhancement techniques (ultrasonic / vibration conditions) can both affect its performance.

[0032] Given the advantages of ultrasound-assisted technology, such as high energy utilization, low amplification difficulty, and low equipment cost, and the fact that it is currently a blank in green solvent SPPS, this test combines a novel green solvent (NFM / An) with ultrasound-assisted technology to test the performance of this scheme in the multi-step SPPS process.

[0033] Coupling is a key step in SPPS, and the solvent has a significant impact on the coupling rate, thus it can be used as an important indicator of solvent performance.

[0034] This test uses the standard method of the Pedersen team: Fmoc-Gly-OH reacts with CTC resin loaded with tripeptide H-Pro-Phe-Ala-2-CTC-PS, and samples are taken at regular intervals to analyze the conversion rate to determine the rate.

[0035] Based on this method, the performance of the ultrasound-assisted green solvent NFM / An in the coupling step was tested. Specifically, the kinetic conversion rate of Fmoc-Gly-OH coupled to PFA-CTC (i.e., Pro-Phe-Ala-CTC peptide-resin, that is, the tripeptide Pro-Phe-Ala linked to CTC resin) was measured. After removing Fmoc, washing the resin, and cleaving the peptide, the conversion of the tripeptide to the tetrapeptide was quantified by HPLC analysis. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0036] Table 3. Coupling kinetic conversion data under different conditions In the table: NFM / An a This refers to the molecular ratio of 1.3 eq. DIC / OxymaB / AA being 1:1:1 under ultrasonic conditions, where AA refers to amino acids.

[0037] NFM / An b This refers to the molecular ratio of 1.3 eq. DIC / OxymaB / AA being 1:1:1 under vibration conditions.

[0038] NFM / An c This refers to the molecular ratio of 1.3 eq. DIC / OxymaB / AA being 1:0.2:1 under ultrasonic conditions.

[0039] The coupling reaction rate on the resin is negligible due to the concentration of activated amino acids, and can be approximated as a pseudo-first-order reaction of the NH2 group of the resin peptide: ; In the formula k obs - Apparent reaction rate constant (min) -1 ); a0 - The conversion rate of raw materials when the reaction is complete (%); t - reaction time (min); y - Raw material conversion rate (%) at the corresponding time point.

[0040] Table 4. Fitting results of the dynamic model As shown in Table 4, the pseudo-first-order reaction model fits well in all cases (R0). 2 >0.95). NFM / An exhibits the highest apparent rate constant (k... obs = 0.5563 min -1 The final conversion rate (98.3%) was comparable to that of DMF.

[0041] Ultrasonic enhancement significantly increased the coupling rate (compared to vibrational conditions) and promoted reaction kinetics. Even under the catalytic concentration of OxymaB (k obs = 0.2546 min -1 The rate is still higher than that of DMF or vibration conditions.

[0042] In summary, NFM / An is an excellent green solvent, with a coupling rate significantly higher than that of the control group (DMF), and ultrasound assistance effectively enhances the reaction rate in the green solvent.

[0043] 4. Side reaction control test; Epimerization is a common side reaction in solid-phase peptide synthesis, which can reduce yield and increase purification difficulty.

[0044] The side reaction rate was tested using the epimerization model peptide Fmoc-Phg-Pro-NH2. This reaction utilizes the active and easily isomerized α-hydrogen in Phg and the steric hindrance of Phg / Pro to compare the degree of isomerization under different conditions. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0045] Table 5 Epimerization rate of Fmoc-Phg-Pro-NH2 coupling under green solvent conditions a In the table, all reactions are carried out in the solution phase.

[0046] DL (%) is (Fmoc-D-Phg-Pro-NH2) / (Fmoc-D-Phg-Pro-NH2+ Fmoc-L-Phg-Pro-NH2)×100.

[0047] After synthesizing Fmoc-D-Phg-Pro-NH2 using Fmoc-D-Phg-OH as the starting material, its position in HLPC was determined.

[0048] OxymaB is 5-(hydroxyimino)-1,3-dimethyl-1,3-thiazine-2,4,6-trione, and OxymaPure is ethyl (hydroxyimino)cyanocyanate.

[0049] The DIC / 1.3eq.OxymaB combination exhibits a diastereomeric rate of 2.5% in NFM / An, which is lower than that of DMF or pure NFM.

[0050] The DIC / 0.6eq.OxymaB combination had the lowest epimerization rate in NFM / An (1.2%), while other combinations had higher rates (>3%) in NFM / An.

[0051] The NFM / An green solvent system has passed the quadruple verification of solubility, swelling, reaction efficiency, and side reaction control, and is particularly suitable for the synthesis of tetrapeptide-30, providing a basis for process design in subsequent examples.
