Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polypeptide technology, and in particular to a polypeptide, its pharmaceutical salt or its enantiomer, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Cationic antimicrobial peptides, as a novel class of microbial killing agents, differ from traditional antibiotics in their mechanism of action. They target the biofilm system of pathogenic fungi / bacteria. The aggregation of antimicrobial peptide molecules on the biofilm increases biofilm permeability and causes the biofilm to lose its barrier function, thus killing fungi / bacteria. The development of drug resistance requires substantial alterations to the lipid composition of microbial cell membranes; therefore, it is virtually impossible for antimicrobial peptides targeting these membrane activities to develop resistance.
[0003] Cationic antimicrobial peptides are mainly classified into two categories: α-helical and β-sheet antimicrobial peptides. β-sheet antimicrobial peptides include cyclic polypeptides anchored by intramolecular disulfide bonds, such as aprotinins and protectins, as well as polypeptides with covalent bonds from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, such as bacitracin S and bacitracin. Unlike β-sheet antimicrobial peptides, α-helical antimicrobial peptides are more linear molecules that exist in a disordered structure in aqueous media. However, they exhibit an amphiphilic helical state through interactions with hydrophobic cell membranes, such as mothropol, magganin, and meliostepin.
[0004] Cationic antimicrobial peptides possess unique structural sequences, mechanisms of action, and highly effective bactericidal properties, making them different from traditional antibiotics. They are less prone to inducing drug resistance and exhibit virtually no cross-resistance with traditional antibiotics. Therefore, cationic antimicrobial peptides have broad clinical demand as excellent alternatives to traditional antibiotics. Developing new cationic antimicrobial peptides with even better antimicrobial activity remains a key focus in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The polypeptide provided by this invention is based on the amino acid composition Lys D -Leu D -Dab L -Ser D -LeuD -Leu D -Dab L -Thr D -Leu D -Ser D -Dab L -Ala D -Lys D -Ala D -Ala D -Lys D -Leu D -Dab L -Thr D -Leu D -Leu D -Dab L -Ala D -Leu D -Ser D -Ser D It is derived from the antimicrobial peptide (Reference Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2019, 62, 3354-3366, code D102). The derivatization methods include, but are not limited to: substitution of amino acid types, conformational changes, and extension or truncation of peptide sequences. The derived peptide has higher antimicrobial activity, or higher safety and antimicrobial specificity compared to D102.
[0009] The polypeptide provided by this invention has a suitable charge number at a pH value in an aqueous solution in a non-precipitated state, and contains both hydrophobic residues and residues with side-chain basic amino groups. It is amphiphilic and can be induced or pre-formed into a secondary structure (α-helix or β-sheet) that separates the hydrophobic residues from the residues with side-chain basic amino groups.
[0010] The polypeptide provided by this invention exhibits a certain α-helix structure in a hydrophobic environment, while possessing very little α-helix structure in a hydrophilic environment. This structural feature may be significant for the antibacterial activity mechanism of the polypeptide, for example: a) reducing the ability to form polymers in a hydrophilic environment, i.e., self-interaction ability; b) allowing the polypeptide molecule to more easily cross the cell wall and reach the cell membrane of microorganisms. Furthermore, the disruption of the α-helix structure in the hydrophilic environment does not affect the electrostatic attraction between the polypeptide (positively charged) and the cell wall of the microorganism (negatively charged); however, the lack of this specific structure can reduce the affinity of the cell wall surface for the polypeptide (the hydrophobic interaction between the hydrophobic groups in the cell wall and the hydrophobic surface of the polypeptide), thereby allowing the polypeptide to more easily pass through the cell wall and enter the hydrophilic / hydrophobic critical facet of the cell membrane, where the polypeptide is parallel to the membrane surface. Inside the membrane, the polypeptide can be induced into an α-helix structure by the hydrophobic environment of the cell membrane. Because of this α-helix structure, we hypothesize that the nonpolar side of the antimicrobial peptide can interact with the hydrophobic portion of the cell membrane, while the polar groups and positively charged groups on its polar side can interact with the polar (negative) heads of phospholipids on the cell membrane surface.
[0011] When a polypeptide has an α-helix structure, it exhibits characteristics of being net positively charged and amphiphilic. For example, an α-helix polypeptide has a nonpolar or hydrophobic surface on one side of the molecule and a polar or positively charged surface on the other side, i.e., an amphiphilic molecule.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention. In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terminology used is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0044] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods, performed according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in this field or according to the product instructions. Unless otherwise specified, the materials and reagents used in the following examples are commercially available.
[0045] Terminology Definitions and Explanations In general, the terms and phrases used herein have their recognized meanings in the art, which can be found by referencing standard textbooks, journal articles, and knowledge known to those skilled in the art. The following definitions are provided to clarify their specific application in this invention.
[0046] As used herein, the term "amino acid" refers to any natural or non-natural amino acid, whether naturally occurring or synthetically produced, including both L- and D-type amino acids. The term also includes amino acid analogs used in peptide analogs or peptide-like compounds. Furthermore, the term includes modified, non-natural amino acids or synthetic amino acid derivatives, such as diaminobutyric acid (GABA) and diaminopropionic acid (DAP).
[0047] The antimicrobial peptides of this invention are composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Under hydrophobic conditions, the antimicrobial peptides generally exhibit an α-helical conformation. The sequence of the antimicrobial peptides is generally from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus, i.e., from the N-terminus to the C-terminus. Unless otherwise specified, the amino acids are L-type amino acids; when the polypeptide is composed entirely of L-type amino acids, it is called an L-enantiomer. When the polypeptide is composed entirely of D-type amino acids, it is called a D-enantiomer.
[0048] The term “minimum inhibitory concentration” (MIC) refers to the minimum concentration of an antimicrobial agent (e.g., an antimicrobial peptide) required to inhibit bacterial growth or otherwise alter its physiological function under certain conditions (e.g., in a liquid culture medium). The minimum inhibitory concentration for different bacteria can be determined using standard techniques of numerical values in the art.
[0049] The term "minimum hemolytic concentration" (MHC) refers to the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial drug or antimicrobial peptide required to cause hemolysis of blood cells under certain conditions. MHC can be measured using red blood cells (RBCs) from different species, including human red blood cells (hRBCs), as well as red blood cells from rodents and molars.
[0050] The term "therapeutic index" (TI) refers to the ratio of the lowest hemolytic concentration (MHC) of an antimicrobial drug to the lowest inhibitory concentration (MIC). A higher TI value indicates higher antimicrobial specificity.
[0051] The term "microorganism" broadly refers to bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. Specifically, the term can refer to microorganisms that have a lipid bilayer structure or structural components. In a particular embodiment, the membrane is a cell membrane. It typically includes pathogens, fungi, viruses, and protozoa known in the art. Bacteria include Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as families of soft-membrane bacteria such as Mycoplasma (…). Mycoplasma ) and acholestapeptides ( Acholeplasma The types of Gram-positive bacteria that may be susceptible include, but are not limited to, *Escherichia coli*.

[0052] The names of the amino acids and their corresponding abbreviations involved in the following examples are shown in Table 1: Table 1. Abbreviations and names of the amino acids involved in this invention.
[0053] Example 1, Polypeptide The polypeptide provided by this invention is based on the amino acid composition Lys D -Leu D -Dab L -Ser D -Leu D -Leu D -Dab L -Thr D -Leu D -Ser D -Dab L -Ala D -Lys D -Ala D -Ala D -Lys D -Leu D -Dab L -Thr D -Leu D -Leu D -Dab L -Ala D -Leu D -Ser D -Ser D The peptide was derived from an antimicrobial peptide (reference: Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2019, 62, 3354-3366, code D102), and the amino acid composition of the peptide is shown in Table 2.
[0054] The polypeptide SQ-1 is composed of 26 amino acid residues with the sequence Ac-Lys. D -Leu D -Dab D -Ser D -Leu D -Leu D -Dab D -Thr D -Leu D -Ser D -Dab D -Ala D -Lys D -Ala D -Ala D -Lys D -Leu D -DabD -Thr D -Leu D -Leu D -Dab D -Ala D -Leu D -Ser D -Ser D -NH2, such as Figure 1 As shown, polypeptide SQ-1 is an amphiphilic α-helical antimicrobial peptide with one polar surface and one nonpolar surface, as illustrated in the helical diagram ( Figure 1 In diagram 1A, hydrophilic surfaces are represented by hollow arcs, and hydrophobic surfaces are represented by solid arcs. In the spiral mesh diagram ( Figure 1 In section 1B), hydrophobic amino acids are represented by yellow squares. Ac indicates N-terminal acetylation, and NH2 indicates C-terminal amidation. The polar surface of the SQ-1 polypeptide consists of 12 hydrophilic amino acids (5 Dab, 4 Ser, 2 Thr, and 1 Lys) and 3 hydrophobic amino acids (2 Ala and 1 Leu). In contrast, its nonpolar surface contains 9 hydrophobic amino acids (7 Leu and 2 Ala) and 2 hydrophilic amino acids (2 Lys).
[0055] Polypeptide SQ-1 is composed of D-type amino acids. This embodiment also provides its enantiomer (named polypeptide SQ-1L), whose amino acid composition is Ac-Lys. L -Leu L -Dab L -Ser L -Leu L -Leu L -Dab L -Thr L -Leu L -Ser L -Dab L -Ala L -Lys L -Ala L -Ala L -Lys L -Leu L -Dab L -Thr L -Leu L -Leu L -Dab L -Ala L -Leu L -Ser L -Ser L-NH2 is mainly composed of the corresponding L-amino acids. Therefore, SQ-1L is stereochemically completely opposite to the corresponding SQ-1. Numerous studies have shown that enantiomeric peptides are consistent in various physicochemical properties and biological activities; therefore, in the examples below, only experimental data of some representative peptide sequences are presented.
[0056] The helical wheel diagram and helical network diagram of peptide SQ-2 are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0057] Table 2. Amino acid composition of the polypeptides provided in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0058] In Table 2, unless otherwise specified by footnote, a. are all D-type enantiomers. The subscript L after an amino acid indicates that the amino acid is an L-type amino acid; X represents the amino acid Dab. The polypeptides shown in SQ-1 to SQ-17 correspond to the polypeptides shown in SEQ ID NO:1-19 in the sequence listing, respectively. The N-terminus of all polypeptides shown in SQ-1 to SQ-17 in Table 2 is protected with an acetyl group, and the C-terminus is protected with an amide group.
[0059] Example 2: Antibacterial drug susceptibility test (MIC) of the polypeptide provided by the present invention. 2.1 Test strains: There are 3 standard strains: Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC27853).
[0060] 2.2 Experimental Methods: After resuscitation and activation, third-generation strains of each bacterial strain were placed in liquid culture medium and cultured for several hours. The bacterial counts were then performed under a microscope using a counting chamber. The bacterial suspension concentration was adjusted to 1×10⁻⁶ using MH broth medium. 6 CFU / mL, ready for use. Using a micropipette, add 100 μL of MH broth medium to each well of a sterile U-shaped 96-well plate. Add 100 μL of the prepared peptide solution to the first well, mix thoroughly, then add 100 μL from the first well to the second well. Repeat this serial dilution process until the 10th well is reached. After mixing, discard the excess 100 μL of solution. Add 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ CFU / mL to wells 1-11. 6 100 μL of bacterial culture (cfu / mL) was added to well 12 as a blank control. The plate was gently shaken for 2 min and incubated at 37℃ for 18 h. The lowest drug concentration in the wells where no aseptic growth was observed was defined as the MIC. All drugs were tested in triplicate. The MIC range for the target peptide was set at 32 μg / mL–0.0625 μg / mL (final concentration). The final bacterial concentration was 5 × 10⁻⁶.5 cfu / mL.
[0061] 2.3 Experimental Results: The antibacterial effects of representative peptide samples of the SQ-1 series and their control drug D102 on the three bacterial strains are shown in Table 3.
[0062] Table 3. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (μg / mL) of some peptides provided in the embodiments of the present invention against three microorganisms.
[0063] As shown in Table 3, compared with the antibacterial activity of D102, the peptides provided by this invention have a stronger bactericidal effect. In particular, the overall bactericidal effect of this series of antimicrobial peptides is stronger against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli ATCC25922, showing stronger bactericidal specificity.
[0064] Example 3: Hemolysis test of the polypeptide provided by the present invention According to the hemolysis and agglutination test method in Part IV of the 2020 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, the hemolytic reaction of compounds to rabbits was compared and analyzed using an in vitro tube method (visual observation method). The experimental results are shown in Table 4.
[0065] Table 4. Hemolytic values (MHC) of polypeptides in rabbit blood.
[0066] Example 4: Therapeutic index of the polypeptide provided by the present invention To better evaluate the biological activity of peptides, the therapeutic index (TI), a widely used parameter representing the specificity of antimicrobial drugs, was used for comparison. The therapeutic index is calculated from the ratio of MHC (hemolytic activity) to MIC (antimicrobial activity) (TI = MHC / MIC); the higher the value, the stronger the antimicrobial specificity of the peptide. The results are shown in Table 5.
[0067] Table 5. Therapeutic Index (TI) of Peptides
[0068] As shown in Table 5, the therapeutic index of the polypeptide provided by the present invention is significantly larger than that of D102. In particular, the therapeutic index of Escherichia coli ATCC25922 is significantly increased compared to that of D102, which means that the antibacterial specificity is significantly increased.
[0069] Example 5: Toxicity test of the polypeptide SQ-2 provided by the present invention ICR mice were randomly divided into groups of 10 mice each, with an equal number of males and females, and the weight difference between animals in the same group and during the same experiment should not exceed 4 g. Mice in each group were marked with a 5% picric acid solution. The doses that caused 0% (Dn) and 100% (Dm) mortality in animals were determined through preliminary experiments, and five dose groups were established within this range with a suitable group interval (0.8-0.9). Different doses of the test drug were administered via tail vein injection at a dosage volume of 10 mL / kg. Mice were fasted for 16 hours before administration and observed continuously for 14 days after administration. Behavioral status, toxic reactions, and mortality were observed and recorded, and the results were calculated according to the formula: The LD50 was calculated.

[0071] The LD value of peptide SQ-2 was calculated using the probability unit weighted regression method (Bliss method) in SPSS software. 50 It is 16.515 mg / kg.
[0072] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the polypeptide provided by the present invention has excellent antibacterial activity and low toxicity, and can be applied to various stubborn infectious diseases and common infections, serving as an excellent alternative or adjuvant drug to existing antibiotics.
