Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention pertains to the application of polypeptides, specifically relating to a cyclic polypeptide SEQ ID NO:1 with anti-inflammatory activity, the amino acid sequence of which is CRYYLWLQVQSC-NH2, and the polypeptide is cyclized at both ends with disulfide bonds. Background Technology

[0002] Inflammatory skin problems such as sensitivity, itching, erythema, and atopic dermatitis are common symptoms that plague a large population. The core pathophysiological process behind these problems is an abnormal immune response, in which the TH2 immune response, particularly the inflammatory pathway initiated by alarmins derived from keratinocytes, plays a key role.

[0003] TSLP is a key initiation factor released by epithelial cells in response to stimulation and is considered the "master switch" for the TH2 immune response. TSLP can activate dendritic cells, thereby driving Th2 cell differentiation and producing a series of core effector cytokines, including interleukin-13 (IL-13) and interleukin-31 (IL-31). IL-13 is a major effector factor that leads to IgE production by B cells, promotes inflammation, and directly inhibits the expression of skin barrier proteins. IL-31 is recognized as the "itch factor," which can directly act on sensory neurons to induce intense itching. Scratching further damages the skin barrier, creating a vicious cycle. In addition, another alarming molecule, interleukin-33 (IL-33), can also be released by damaged keratinocytes, directly activating innate lymphoid cells 2 (ILC2s) and mast cells, rapidly amplifying the T2 immune response. TSLP, IL-13, IL-31, and IL-33 together constitute a complex inflammatory network, synergistically driving skin sensitivity and inflammatory states such as redness, swelling, and itching (see: Zhu Congcong, Pan Huijun, Zhu Quangang, Mechanism of Th2-related inflammatory factors in the pathogenesis of eczema [J], Journal of Pharmaceutical Practice, 2019, 37(1):9-13; Duca Emanuela, Sur Genel, Zaharic Teodora-Maria et al., Immunological Implications in Atopic Dermatitis [J]. International Journal of Celiac Disease, 2021, 9(2):65-67; ​​Napolitano Maddalena, Vico Francesca di, Ruggiero Angelo et al., The hidden sentinel of the skin: An overview on the role of interleukin-13 in atopic dermatitis). Frontiers in Medicine, 2023, 10; Nakajima Saeko, Tie Duerna, Nomura Takashi et al., Novel pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis from the view of cytokinesin mice and humans[J]. Cytokine, 2021, 148:155664-155664; Dubin Celina, Duca Ester Del, Guttman-Yassky Emma, ​​The IL-4, IL-13 and IL-31 pathways in atopic dermatitis, Expert Review of Clinical Immunology, 2021, 17(8):835-852.

[0004] The treatment and care of inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis is a significant challenge in the fields of dermatology and functional skincare products. Their pathogenesis involves a complex network of cytokines, among which thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-13 (IL-13), interleukin-31 (IL-31), and interleukin-33 (IL-33) are recognized as core pathogenic factors driving itching, inflammation, and damage to the skin barrier.

[0005] Currently, interventions for this disease have the following limitations: At the level of active ingredients in skincare products, traditional plant extracts (such as dipotassium glycyrrhizate and bisabolol) mostly exert their effects through non-specific mechanisms, with unclear targets and limited efficacy. While novel synthetic peptides or biotechnological ingredients that have emerged in recent years attempt to target specific pathways, existing technologies mostly focus on single or a few targets. Examples include peptides that specifically inhibit the binding of TSLP to its receptor (CN116120405A), antibody fragments targeting IL-13 and TSLP (HK40078586A), cyclic dipeptides targeting TSLP and IL-33 (CN119185094A), or peptide immunogens that specifically target IL-31 (CN201880079547.1). These are all single-pathway or dual-pathway inhibition strategies. At the clinical treatment level, from topical glucocorticoids and calcineurin inhibitors to recent biologics (such as dupilumab, which targets IL-4Rα and mainly blocks IL-4 / IL-13 signaling) and JAK inhibitors, there is also the problem of focusing on a single or limited pathway, making it difficult to fully cover other key factors such as TSLP / IL-31.

[0006] Given the complexity and redundancy of the inflammatory network in atopic dermatitis, the aforementioned single-target strategies offer limited improvement. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field to develop a single active ingredient capable of simultaneously inhibiting the core cytokine networks of TSLP, IL-13, IL-31, and IL-33. Developing such safe and effective ingredients with multi-target mechanisms of action suitable for topical skin application has become a significant and unmet technological requirement.

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. While any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein may be used to practice or test the invention, preferred methods and materials are described herein. For the purposes of this invention, the following terms are defined.

[0020] As used herein, the term "about" means a quantity, level, value, dimension, size, or amount that differs from that of a reference by as much as 30%, 20%, or 10%. Percentages used herein, unless otherwise stated, are by weight.

[0021] Throughout this specification and claims, unless otherwise required, the words “comprising” and its variations “containing” and “including” shall be understood to mean including the said whole or step, or a group of whole or steps, but not excluding any other whole or step, or other group of whole or steps.

[0022] This invention is based on the unexpected discovery that the cyclic polypeptide SEQ ID NO:1 (amino acid sequence CRYYLWLQVQSC-NH2, with disulfide bonds cyclized at both ends) can effectively inhibit key cytokines closely related to skin immune responses and sensitivity, including thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-13 (IL-13), interleukin-31 (IL-31), and interleukin-33 (IL-33). In vitro experiments show that the cyclic polypeptide SEQ ID NO:1 can inhibit the above four key cytokines closely related to allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis. Based on this unique multi-target inhibitory effect, this cyclic polypeptide has important application value in the preparation of drugs or skin care products for the prevention and / or treatment of Th2 immune-related diseases such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, allergic asthma, and allergic rhinitis.

[0023] Cyclic polypeptides

[0024] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiency of the single target of active ingredients in the prior art, and to provide a single active ingredient that can simultaneously inhibit multiple key cytokines such as TSLP, IL-13, IL-31 and IL-33, so as to meet the needs of the skin care field for highly effective and multi-pathway soothing of sensitive skin.

[0025] Therefore, the present invention provides a cyclic polypeptide SEQ ID NO:1 with the amino acid sequence CRYYLWLQVQSC-NH2, and the polypeptide having disulfide bonds cyclized at both ends.

[0026] The cyclic polypeptide sequence of the present invention begins (N-terminus) and ends (C-terminus) with cysteine ​​(C), and the C-terminus is in an amidated form (-NH2). This provides a structural basis for the formation of head-to-tail disulfide cyclization, namely, the formation of a cyclic disulfide bond through the oxidation of the thiol group (-SH) of the N-terminal cysteine ​​and the thiol group of the C-terminal cysteine.

[0027] In this invention, in vitro experiments have shown that the cyclic polypeptide SEQ ID NO:1 can effectively inhibit key cytokines closely related to skin immune responses and sensitivity, including thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-13 (IL-13), interleukin-31 (IL-31), and interleukin-33 (IL-33). This cyclic polypeptide SEQ ID NO:1 can simultaneously inhibit these four key cytokines closely related to allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, the molecular formula of the cyclic polypeptide is C1 71 H 103 N 19 O 17S2, purity ≥97.88%, molecular weight 1558.6 Da.

[0029] In a specific implementation, a cyclic polypeptide SEQ ID NO:1 provided by the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, with the amino acid sequence CRYYLWLQVQSC-NH2, is used, and the polypeptide is cyclized at both ends with disulfide bonds.

[0030] The synthesis method of cyclic peptides is as follows: MBHA series amino resins were used for solid-phase peptide synthesis using the Fmoc strategy. The Fmoc strategy was employed to protect the amino acids one by one until the N-terminal Cys condensation was complete. After removing the N-terminal main chain modification groups, the peptide was cleaved from the solid-phase support using the TFA cocktail method to obtain the crude peptide. Iodine oxidation was used to bridge the two Cys thiol groups, forming a pair of intramolecular disulfide bonds. The product was separated and purified using a C18 reversed-phase column under the TFA system to obtain the target product collection solution. The collection solution was then freeze-dried to obtain the final product.

[0031] Product purity and molecular weight are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0032] Figure 1 The HPLC spectrum of the cyclic polypeptide SEQ ID NO:1 of this application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the retention time of the main peak of the target peptide (SEQ ID NO:1) was 10.142 min according to HPLC detection, and the purity of the peptide was 97.88% according to the peak area normalization method.

[0033] Figure 2 The LCMS spectrum of the cyclic polypeptide SEQ ID NO:1 of this application is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the target polypeptide (SEQ ID NO:1) has the molecular formula C 71 H 103 N 19 O 17 S2 has a theoretical molecular weight of 1558.84 Da. As shown in the figure, the main signal peak detected by mass spectrometry is at a mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) of 780.3 Da, which corresponds to the divalent hydrogen ion [M+2H] of the polypeptide. 2+ Based on this mass-to-charge ratio, the experimentally measured molecular weight was calculated to be 1558.6 Da. This is consistent with the theoretical molecular weight, confirming that it is indeed the target polypeptide.
