Background Art
[0004] Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors are activated by a closely related group of peptide agonists called the "NPY family", which have different affinities for each receptor subtype. NPY, peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY), and pancreatic polypeptide (PP), all 36 amino acids in length, are agonists of the NPY receptor family. NPY is a neurotransmitter that is synthesized, co-stored, and released together with norepinephrine and epinephrine. NPY is one of the most abundant and widely distributed peptides in the central nervous system (CNS) of humans and rodents, and is expressed in brain regions associated with feeding and stress. In the peripheral nervous system, NPY-containing neurons are mainly sympathetic. PYY is mainly synthesized and released by enteroendocrine cells. Cleavage of NPY and PYY by endopeptidase, dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), generates NPY and PYY, which are selective ligands for the Y2 and Y5 subtypes of the NPY receptor family. PP is found in pancreatic islet cells that are different from those that mainly store insulin, glucagon, or somatostatin. Five different NPY receptors have been identified to date, and four of them are understood to be relevant to human physiology. Receptors Y1, Y2, and Y5 preferentially bind NPY and PYY, while the Y4 receptor preferentially binds PP. The Y2 and Y5 receptors are also strongly activated by NPY3-36 and PYY3-36. In general, ligands of the NPY family have variable selectivity for each NPY receptor isoform. 3~36 3~36
[0005] , PYY3-36 has been previously reported to have moderate to stable selectivity for the Y2 isoform. Each of these receptors is linked to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase via pertussis toxin-sensitive Gαi.
[0006] PYY is secreted from endocrine L-cells in response to food, especially after fat intake. 1~36 3~36 3~36 3~36 The acute effects on feeding are also shown to translate into dose-dependent effects on body weight in ob / ob mice, DIO mice, and Zucker fa / fa mice (Pittner RA et al. Int J Obes relat Metab Disord 2004 Aug;28(8):963 - 71). In addition, PYY 3~36 has also been shown to improve insulin-mediated glucose disposal and insulin sensitivity in rodents (Vrang N et al., Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol Aug;291(2):R367 - 75) . Bariatric surgery results in an increase in circulating PYY immunoreactivity (le Roux CW e t al., Ann Surg 2006 Jan;243(1);108 - 14), and appears to play a role in postoperative weight loss . Considering its role in the control of appetite and food intake, and its anti-secretory and absorption-promoting effects in the mammalian gastrointestinal tract, PYY may be effective in the treatment of obesity and related conditions, as well as many gastrointestinal disorders. However, the therapeutic utility of PYY
[0007] itself is limited by its rapid metabolism and resulting short circulating half-life (Torang et al., Am.J.Physiol.Regul.Integ r.Comp.Physiol. 310:R866 - R874(2016)). 3~36 Therefore, it is desirable to obtain PYY analogs or derivatives thereof with improved metabolic stability and pharmacokinetic profiles for PYY3 - 36. The slow in vivo half-life 3~36 of itself limits its therapeutic potential. (Torang et al., Am.J.Physiol.Regul.Integ r.Comp.Physiol. 310:R866 - R874(2016)).
[0008] Thus, it is desirable to obtain PYY analogs or derivatives thereof with improved metabolic stability and pharmacokinetic profiles for PYY3 - 36. The slow in vivo half-life Such derivatives having ductility provide regulation of the Y2 receptor with a longer duration of action and would be suitable as therapeutic agents for subjects in need of such regulation.

Chemical formula
[0128] The cyclic PYY peptide PYY 3~36 acts as an agonist of the Y2 receptor to inhibit food intake and is an endogenous hormone secreted by L cells in the distal intestine. Considering its role in the regulation of appetite and food intake , as well as its antisecretory and absorption-promoting effects in the mammalian gastrointestinal tract, PYY 3~36 3~36 may be effective in the treatment of obesity and related conditions, as well as many gastrointestinal disorders. However, the therapeutic usefulness of PYY itself as a therapeutic agent is limited by its rapid 3~36 Limited by metabolism and short circulation half-life. Thus, the present invention, in a broad sense, relates to PY Y 3~36 modified PYY peptides that extend the half-life of the peptide and reduce peptide metabolism in vivo. 3~36 The present invention relates to complexes.
[0129] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the modified PYY 3~36 peptide is a cyclic PYY peptide. The terms "cyclic PYY peptide", "cyclic PYY analog", and "cyclic PY 3~36 Y Y 3~36 peptide analog" can be used interchangeably.
[0130] As used herein, the term "NTSC-PYY" is intended to describe an N-terminal to side chain cyclic analog of PYY.
[0131] The peptide sequences described herein are described according to normal convention, with the N-terminal region of the peptide on the left and the C-terminal region on the right. Although amino acid isomeric forms are known, unless otherwise explicitly indicated, the L-form amino acids are shown. For convenience in describing the molecules of the present invention, conventional and unconventional abbreviations (both single and three-letter codes) and functional moieties of various amino acids are used. These abbreviations are well known to those skilled in the art, but for clarity, they are listed below: A = Ala = alanine; R = Arg = arginine; N = Asn = asparagine; D = Asp = aspartic acid; βA = βAla = β-alanine; C = Cys = cysteine; hC = hCys = homocysteine; E = Glu = glutamic acid; Q = Gln = glutamine; G = Gly = glycine; H = His = histidine; I = Ile sn = asparagine; D = Asp = aspartic acid; βA = βAla = β-alanine; C = Cys = cysteine; hC = hCys = homocysteine; E = Glu = glutamic acid; Q = Gln = glutamine; G = Gly = glycine; H = His = histidine; I = Ile sn = asparagine; D = Asp = aspartic acid; βA = βAla = β-alanine; C sn = asparagine; D = Asp = aspartic acid; βA = βAla = β-alanine; C = Cys = cysteine; hC = hCys = homocysteine; E = Glu = glutamic acid; Q = Gln = glutamine; G = Gly = glycine; H = His = histidine; I = Ile =Isoleucine; L = Leu = Leucine; K = Lys = Lysine; Nle = Norleucine; F = Phe = Phenylalanine; P = Pro = Proline; S = Ser = Serine; T = Th r = Threonine; W = Trp = Tryptophan; Y = Tyr = Tyrosine, and V = Val = Valine.
[0132] For convenience, the numbering rule of amino acid residues used when naming the NTSC-PYY peptide of the present invention follows that of hPYY 3~36 . The specific amino acid substitutions introduced into the NTSC-PYY peptide for the natural residues at the corresponding positions of hPYY 3~36 are indicated by the appropriate amino acid code followed by the position of the substitution. Thus, "S4" within the NTSC-P YY peptide refers to the peptide in which the corresponding natural lys4 residue of hPYY is substituted with serine . Similarly, "hC31" within the NTSC-PYY peptide refers to the peptide in which the corresponding natural val31 residue of hPYY 3~36 is substituted with homocysteine . Further amino acid substitutions occurring within the NTSC-PYY peptide are described according to this rule and will be recognized as such by those skilled in the art. 3~36 and refers to the peptide in which the corresponding natural val31 residue of hPYY is substituted with homocysteine. Further amino acid substitutions occurring within the NTSC-PYY peptide are described according to this rule and will be recognized as such by those skilled in the art. and will be recognized as such by those skilled in the art.
[0133] Also for convenience, the naming rule used for the NTSC-PYY peptide of the present invention starts from the N-terminal residue involved in the cycle and proceeds in the left-to-right direction, incorporating the amino residues involved in the cycle together with the linking group(s) therebetween . In all cases, the N-terminal amino acid residue of the cycle is linked to the linking group via its α-amino functional group, which in turn connects to the side chain residue of the amino acid at position 31 of the NTSC-P YY peptide. Thus, "Cyclo-(I3 " is linked to the linking group via its α-amino functional group, which in turn connects to the side chain residue of the amino acid at position 31 of the NTSC-PYY peptide. Thus, "Cyclo-(I3 YY peptide. Thus, "Cyclo-(I3 "-m-COPhCH2-hC31)" is used to describe the cycle of NTSC-PYY peptides where the α-amino functionality of Ile3 is acylated with a meta-toluoyl acid residue, and its methyl group is further linked to the side chain of the hCys31 residue by a thioether bond . Similarly, "cyclo-(K4-CO(CH2)2NHCOCH2-hC31)" is used to describe the cycle of NTSC-PYY peptides where the native Ile3 residue is deleted and the α-amino functionality at the N-terminus of Lys4 is acylated with a 3 -acetamidopropanoyl group, and the acetamidomethylene carbon of which is connected to the side chain of the hCys31 residue by a thioether bond.
[0134] Lysine residues can be incorporated at various positions in the hP YY 3~36 sequence to provide a convenient functionality handle for further derivatization. Lysine residues can be modified to bind to monoclonal antibodies either directly or indirectly . In the case of indirect binding to monoclonal antibodies, the lysine residue can be modified to include a linker that allows the cyclic PYY peptide to bind to the monoclonal antibody . Those skilled in the art will recognize that related analogs can be used effectively in the same way and are contemplated herein .

[0225] Synthesis The compounds of formula I in the present invention can be synthesized according to general synthetic methods known to those skilled in the art. The following description of the synthesis is for illustrative purposes only and is in no way intended to limit the present invention.
[0226] The NTSC cyclic PYY (NTSC-PYY) analogs or derivatives of the present invention can be synthesized by various known conventional procedures for forming successive peptide linkages between amino acids, using an automated peptide synthesizer, conventional bench synthesis, or a combination of both approaches, preferably by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) as generally described by Merrifield (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1963, 85, 2 149 - 2154). Conventional procedures for peptide synthesis involve the condensation between the free amino group of one amino acid residue (with other reactive functional groups suitably protected) and the free carboxyl yl group of another amino acid (with its reactive functional groups also suitably protected).

[0227] The automated peptide synthesis methodology is described by Yu (J. Org. Chem., 1992, 57, 478 1~4784) and has been recently improved by Palasek (J. Pept. Sci., 2007, 13, 143~148). Preferably, by applying microwave heating it can be carried out at room temperature or high temperature.
[0228] The compound (C-terminal amide) of the present invention can be conveniently prepared using the N-α-Fmoc protected amino acid methodology in which the carboxy terminus of a suitably protected N-α-Fmoc protected amino acid is coupled onto a conventional solid phase resin using a suitable coupling agent. Suitable conventional commercially available solid phase resins include Rink amide MBHA resin, Rink amide AM resin, Tentagel S RAM Resin, Fmoc-PAL-PEG PS resin , SpheriTide Rink amide resin, ChemMatrix Rink resin, Sieber amide resin, TG Sieber resin, and the like. Subsequently, the resin-bound Fmoc-amino acid may be deprotected by exposure to 20% piperidine in either DMF or NMP, and this treatment serves to selectively remove the Fmoc protecting group. Subsequently, additional Fmoc-protected amino acids are successively coupled and deprotected, thereby generating the desired resin-bound, protected peptide. In certain cases, it may be necessary to utilize an orthogonal reactive protecting group for another amine in the peptide sequence that will withstand the Fmoc deprotection conditions. Protecting groups such as 4-methyltrityl (Mtt) or 4- methoxytrityl (Mmt) are both removable by 1% TFA / DCM treatment or, preferably, allyloxycarbonyl (alloc; removable by Pd(PPh 3)4 / PhSiH3 treatment), 1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxo cyclohex-1-ylidene)ethyl (Dde; removable by treatment with 2-3% hydrazine / DMF), and 1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohex -1-ylidene)-3-methylbutyl (ivDde; removable by treatment with 2-3% hydrazine / DMF) can be effectively used in such cases.
[0229] In conventional peptide synthesis methodologies, the reactive side chains of α-amino acids are generally protected through synthesis with suitable protecting groups to render them inert to the coupling and deprotection protocols. Multiple protecting groups for amino acid side chains are known in the art, but this specification In the present specification, the following protecting groups are most preferred: serine, threonine, glutamic acid, asparagine, tert-Butyl (t-Bu) for glycine, tyrosine, and asparagine, glutamine, and cysteine. Trityl (Trt) for tryptophan, homocysteine, and histidine; and lysine ε-amino group is tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc); Ginine is 2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl ( These protecting groups can be deprotected by treatment with strong acids such as concentrated trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). are removed.
[0230] Upon completion of SPPS, the resin-bound, side-chain protected peptide was deprotected and triisopropylated. Propylsilane (TIPS), water, phenol, and carbocations such as anisole Using a cleavage cocktail consisting primarily of (TFA) along with various combinations of scavengers The peptide / cocktail filtrate is then precipitated with cold ether. The crude solid peptide is isolated by cleavage of the Sieber resin-bound protected peptide. In the particular case of tides, cleavage of the protected peptide from the resin leads to side-chain deprotection. Repeated treatment with 1-2% TFA in DCM without further oxidization can be advantageously used to isolate the product. Once complete, further manipulation of the protected peptide can be carried out in solution phase reactions. Finally, the protected peptide was globally deprotected using a separate treatment with a cleavage cocktail. The crude peptide thus obtained can then be reacted with 1,000 sucrose to obtain a 1,000 sucrose ester, which can be protected and precipitated as described above. Low concentrations (approximately 100%) of acetonitrile or ethanol in a predominantly aqueous solvent system containing organic cosolvents <4mg / mL). If the pH of the solution is raised to >5, the peptide then dissolves intramolecularly. Through a cyclization reaction, the corresponding crude NTSC PYY analog of the present invention is formed. In this way, the formed NTSC PYY analog can be purified using purification techniques generally known in the art. A preferred method of peptide purification used herein is reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The purified peptide is then characterized by liquid chromatography / mass spectrometry (LC / MS).

A) Synthesis of Resin-Bound C-Terminal Amide Peptide The protected peptidyl resin can be synthesized on a 0.1 mmol scale using the above-described Fmoc strategy as shown in Scheme 1 using a CEM Liberty Blue Microwave Peptide Synthesizer with low loading Rink amide resin, preferably Fmoc-PAL-PEG PS resin (about 0.16 - 0.2 meq / g, supplied by Applied Biosystems). Standard Fmoc-protected amino acids (supplied by Novabiochem (EMD Millipore), Bachem, Peptides International, or Chem-Impex) are used as coupling agents with For resin filling using DIC / Oxyma and a reaction temperature of approximately 90 °C for 4 minutes can be coupled 5-fold in excess. Fmoc-Arg(Pbf)-OH is double-bonded at 90 °C for 4 minutes each and Fmoc-His(Trt)-OH can be coupled using a two-step protocol of 4 minutes at room temperature followed by 8 minutes at 50 °C. Single Fmoc deprotection can be carried out at 90 °C for 1.5 minutes using 20% piperidine in DM F (deprotection solution). .

The reaction completeness can be determined by the Kaiser ninhydrin test (Kaiser, et al ., Anal. Biochem., 1970, 34, 595 - 598). If the coupling is determined to be incomplete, the coupling can be repeated with fresh reagents . .

[0277] General procedure for synthesizing bromoacetylated cyclic thioether peptides Schemes 9, 10, and 11 all show various routes to the bromoacetylated cyclic thioether pep tides of the present invention. In Scheme 9, the thioether bridge is formed by the reaction of a thiol-containing amino acid side chain in the peptide sequence with the bromoacetyl group at the amino terminus of the peptide. Scheme 10 illustrates a similar approach to Scheme 9, but with a separate PEG spacer inserted between the lysine side chain and the bromoacetyl group. Scheme 11 illustrates another class of bromoacetylated cyclic thioether peptides in which the bridge is formed by the reaction of a thiol nucleophile at the amino terminus of the peptide with a bromoacetyl group covalently attached to the lysine side chain within the peptide sequence.
[0278] A. Synthesis of resin-bound C-terminal amide peptides The protected peptide on the resin can be synthesized on Sieber amide or R ink amide resin using the FMOC strategy. Standard FMOC-protected amino acids (Novab iochem (supplied by EMD Millipore), Bachem, Peptides International, or Chem-Impex) can be coupled at room temperature or elevated temperature with a 3- to 6-fold excess relative to the resin loading using DIC / Oxyma, HBTU / DIPEA, or HATU / NMM as coupling agents. Double couplings can be performed for high purity and especially for amino acids attached to α-N-alkylated amino acids. For peptides containing the psi-(R35,Y36) modification, Fmoc-Arg(Pbf) Ψ[CH2N(Boc)]Tyr(t-Bu)-OH can be coupled at 3-fold excess using HATU and NMM in DMF for 1 hour at room temperature.
[0279] B. Bromoacetylation Procedure for Resin-Bound Peptides The lysine to be bromoacetylated can be orthogonally protected with any of the alloc, ivDDE, or DDE protecting groups. After completion of the linear sequence on the resin, the orthogonally protected lysine may be deprotected (for alloc, Pd(Ph3)4 and phenylsilane in DCM ; for DDE or ivDDE, 2% hydrazine in DMF), and the amino group can be bromoacetylated under various conditions such as 1) reacting with a large excess of bromoacetic anhydride in DMF in a microwave reactor at 50 °C for 5 minutes (by which point the reaction can generally be determined to be complete by the Kaiser ninhydrin test), 2) reacting with a large excess of bromoacetic anhydride in DMF or DCM in the presence of a base such as TEA or DIPEA at room temperature, or 3) coupling with bromoacetic acid using DIC or DIC / Oxyma.
[0280] C. Peptide Cleavage Procedure from Resin Once SPPS is completed, the resin is washed thoroughly with DMF and then with DCM and dried can be. Using the Sieber amide resin - bound peptide, the dried resin is treated with a 1 - 2% TFA solution in DCM (10 mL) for 5 - 10 minutes and then filtered. This treatment can be repeated several more times, using a fresh cocktail for each treatment. Then, the filtrates are combined and concentrated to obtain the protected crude peptide as a yellow foam. Next, this foam is treated with cleavage cocktail TFA / phenol / H2O / TIPS (88 / 5 / 5 / 2) or TFA / water / TIPS (95:2.5:2.5), or TFA / phenol / H2 O / TIPS / DTT (84 / 10 / 2.5 / 2.5 / 1) and heated in a microwave reactor at 38 °C for 30 - 45 minutes or at room temperature for 2 - 3.5 hours. The crude peptide can be precipitated in cold diethyl ether. The peptide / ether suspension can be centrifuged and the ether layer decanted. The peptide pellet can be resuspended in ether, centrifuged, and decanted, and this process can be repeated 3 times. The crude peptide thus obtained can be dried under a gentle nitrogen stream. Alternatively, the Sieber amide or Rink amide resin - bound peptide can be treated with the cleavage cocktail as described above without pretreatment with 1 - 2% TFA in DCM to obtain a fully
[0281] deprotected peptide. deprotected peptide.
[0282] D. Peptide Cyclization (Thioether Formation) Procedure The crude free thiol - and bromoacetamide - containing peptides are optionally added with EDTA and It may be dissolved in deoxygenated MeCN / water or EtOH / water at a concentration of 4 to 10 mg / mL. . Then, the pH of the peptide solution can be raised to about 7 to 9 by adding any base such as NaHCO3, NaOH, DIPEA, or TEA, and the resulting solution is stirred at room temperature for 0.25 to 2.5 hours.
[0283] Alternatively, the crude peptide can be purified by HPLC, the peptide fractions can be combined, basified to about pH 7 to 9, and optionally stirred at room temperature for 0.25 to 2.5 hours in the presence of EDTA. After acidification, the reaction solution can be concentrated at room temperature to remove the organic solvent, and then subjected to HPLC purification.
[0284] E. Peptide purification procedure The cyclization reaction mixture is acidified with TFA, the solution is concentrated to remove most of the organic co-solvent (MeCN or EtO H), and then the resulting solution can be directly purified by preparative HPLC on a reverse-phase column. The mobile phase consists of buffer A (0.1% TFA in water) and buffer B (0.1% TFA in MeCN) with an initial concentration of 0 to 20% B to a final concentration of 40 to 90% B, and the elution is a gradient elution, and the run time can be in the range of 20 to 60 minutes. UV detection can be monitored at 220 and 254 nm. The product-containing fractions can be analyzed by HPLC using a Waters T3 Atl antis C18 column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) on an Agilent 1100 HPLC system. The pure fractions can be combined, concentrated to remove most of the organic phase, and then lyophilized.

[0294] General procedure for the synthesis of bromoacetylated cyclic triazole-linked peptides Bromoacetylated cyclic triazole-linked peptides can be synthesized according to the procedure shown in Scheme 13. The linear protected peptide on the resin can be synthesized in a similar manner as described for cyclic thioether peptides in Scheme 10, except that L-azido-lysine may be incorporated into the triazole formation and the N-terminal residue may be 4-pentynoic acid. The Fmoc is removed with 20% piperidine in DMF and then reacted with bromoacetic anhydride. The linear sequence may be fully deprotected (TFA / TIPS / water: 95% / 2.5% / 2.5%) and the crude peptide is precipitated in cold ether. , may be recovered by centrifugation and purified by preparative RP-HPLC. Purified linear peptides are cyclized in the presence of CuSO4 / TBTA and NaASrb in a buffer solution (such as HEPES, MOPS) to obtain cyclic triazole-linked peptides, which can be purified by preparative RP-HPLC as described in Scheme 1, Step E. This can be done.
[0295] One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that alternative classes of cyclic triazole-linked peptides beginning with a linear sequence where the N-terminal residue is an azidocarboxylic acid (e.g., 5-azidopentanoic acid) and the residue at position 30 or 31 is an alkynyl amino acid (e.g., 2-amino-7-octynoic acid) can be synthesized in a manner similar to that described above. This can be done.
