Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to peptide ligands capable of binding to TLR3. In particular, the present invention discloses the peptide ligand described herein, and a bicyclic peptide ligand comprising a molecular scaffold, wherein three reactive groups (e.g., cysteine residues) of the peptide ligand form covalent bonds with the molecular scaffold to form two loop sequences. The present invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions, polymer-binding complexes and drug conjugates comprising the peptide ligand, and the use of the peptide ligand in the prevention, suppression or treatment of TLR3-mediated diseases or disorders, such as autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions and cancer. [Background technology]
[0002] Cyclic peptides can bind to protein targets with high affinity and target specificity, and are therefore an attractive molecular class for therapeutic drug development. In fact, several cyclic peptides have already been successfully used in clinical settings, such as the antimicrobial peptide vancomycin, the immunosuppressant cyclosporine, or the anticancer drug octreotide (Driggers et al. (2008), Nat Rev Drug Discov 7 (7), 608-24). Good binding properties result from the relatively large interaction surface formed between the peptide and the target, as well as the reduced conformational flexibility of the cyclic structure. Typically, macrocyclic molecules bind to a surface of several hundred square angstroms, for example, the cyclic peptide CXCR4 antagonist CVX15 (400 Å). 2 (Wu et al. (2007), Science 330, 1066-71), a cyclic peptide having an Arg-Gly-Asp motif that binds to integrin αVb3 (355Å 2 )(Xiong et al. (2002), Science 296 (5565), 151-5), or the cyclic peptide inhibitor upain-1 (603Å) that binds to urokinase-type plasminogen activator. 2There is also Zhao et al. (2007), J Struct Biol 160 (1), 1-10).
[0003] Due to their cyclic configuration, macrocyclic peptide molecules are less flexible than linear peptides, resulting in less entropy loss during binding to the target and higher binding affinity. This reduced flexibility also leads to the fixation of target-specific conformations, increasing binding specificity compared to linear peptides. This effect is exemplified by the potent and selective inhibitory effect of matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8), which loses more selectivity than other MMPs when its ring is opened (Cherney et al. (1998), J Med Chem 41 (11), 1749-51). The favorable binding properties achieved by macrocyclization are even more pronounced in polycyclic peptides with two or more peptide rings, such as vancomycin, nisin, and actinomycin.
[0004] Various research teams have previously attached polypeptides containing cysteine residues to synthetic molecular structures (Kemp and McNamara (1985), J. Org. Chem; Timmerman et al. (2005), ChemBioChem). Meloen and collaborators used tris(bromomethyl)benzene and related molecules for the rapid and quantitative cyclization of multiple peptide loops onto a synthetic scaffold for structural mimicry of protein surfaces (Timmerman et al. (2005), ChemBioChem). Methods for generating candidate drug compounds, wherein the compounds are produced by attaching cysteine-containing polypeptides to a molecular scaffold such as tris(bromomethyl)benzene, are disclosed in WO2004 / 077062 and WO2006 / 078161.
[0005] Combinatorial approaches based on phage display have been developed for generating and screening large libraries of bicyclic peptides against a target of interest (Heinis et al. (2009), Nat Chem Biol 5 (7), 502-7 and WO2009 / 098450). Briefly, a combinatorial library of linear peptides comprising three cysteine residues and two regions of six random amino acids (Cys-(Xaa)6-Cys-(Xaa)6-Cys) is displayed on phage and cyclized by covalently bonding cysteine side chains to a small molecule scaffold.

[0013] [Definition] Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used herein have the same meaning as those to those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art should refer, in particular, to Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 4th ed., Cold Spring Harbor Press, Plainsview, New York (2012); and Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (Supplement 114), John Wiley & Sons, New York (2016) for definitions and terms in the art.
[0014] In this disclosure, the term “amino acid” is used in its broadest sense and means including organic compounds containing amine (NH2) and carboxyl (COOH) functional groups, along with side chains specific to each amino acid (e.g., R group). In some embodiments, amino acids refer to naturally occurring Lα-amino acids or residues. One- and three-letter abbreviations commonly used for naturally occurring amino acids are used herein: A=Ala; C=Cys; D=Asp; E=Glu; F=Phe; G=Gly; H=His; I=Ile; K=Lys; L=Leu; M=Met; N=Asn; P=Pro; Q=Gln; R=Arg; S=Ser; T=Thr; V=Val; W=Trp; and Y=Tyr (Lehninger, AL, (1975) Biochemistry, 2d ed., pp. 71-92, Worth Publishers, New York). The general term “amino acid” further includes D-amino acids, retro-inversoamino acids, and chemically modified amino acids such as amino acid analogs, naturally occurring amino acids not typically incorporated into proteins such as norleucine, and chemically synthesized compounds having properties known in the art to be characteristic of amino acids, such as β-amino acids. For example, analogs or mimetic forms of phenylalanine or proline, which restrict the conformation of peptide compounds as naturally occurring Phe or Pro, are included within the definition of an amino acid. Such analogs and mimetic forms are referred to herein as “functional equivalents” of their respective amino acids. Other examples of amino acids are listed in Roberts and Vellaccio, The Peptides: Analysis, Synthesis, Biology, Gross and Meiehofer, eds., Vol. 5 p. 341, Academic Press, Inc., NY 1983 (these are included herein by attribution). The chemical properties of 20 major amino acids are shown in Table A below. [Table 1]
[0015] The terms “polypeptide” and “peptide” / “peptide ligand” are used interchangeably herein and refer to polymers of amino acid residues as well as their variants and synthetic analogs. Thus, these terms apply to amino acid polymers, where one or more amino acid residues are synthetic or naturally occurring amino acids, such as chemical analogs of the corresponding naturally occurring amino acids, as well as naturally occurring amino acid polymers. Polypeptides may also undergo maturation or post-translational modification processes, including but not limited to glycosylation, proteolytic cleavage, lipidation, signal peptide cleavage, propeptide cleavage, and phosphorylation.
[0016] [Peptides and peptide ligands] The present invention provides peptides that can bind to TLR3. The TLR3-binding peptides described herein may include, for example, peptide ligands comprising the peptide ligand covalently bound to a molecular scaffold (e.g., a molecular scaffold as described in more detail herein) such that two or more peptide loops are formed on the molecular scaffold. A peptide ligand may be directly or indirectly bound to another peptide ligand (e.g., via a linker, spacer, or hinge portion) (i.e., two or more peptide ligands, which may be identical or different, may be bound together) to form a complex as described in more detail herein. A peptide, a peptide ligand, or a complex comprising multiple peptide ligands may be directly or indirectly bound (e.g., via a linker) to one or more effector groups and / or functional groups, such as one or more cytotoxic agents, radiochelators, or chromophores.
[0017] Accordingly, one embodiment provides a peptide ligand comprising a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 366 described herein, or a modified derivative thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[0018] In some embodiments, the peptide can bind to TLR3. In some embodiments, the peptide is specific to TLR3.
[0019] (TLR3-binding peptide) Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of transmembrane proteins that play important roles in the innate immune system by recognizing various pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and initiating immune responses. One member of this family is Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3; also known as CD283, or cluster of differentiation 283), which is known for its ability to detect double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a common viral pathogen-associated molecular pattern.
[0020] TLR3 was first discovered in the late 1990s as a pattern recognition receptor involved in the recognition of viral infection. It is expressed in various immune cells including dendritic cells, macrophages and natural killer cells, as well as in non-immune cells such as epithelial cells.
[0021] The structure of TLR3 consists of an extracellular domain containing leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) responsible for ligand recognition, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular Toll / interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain that initiates downstream signaling pathways upon activation. Unlike other TLRs, TLR3 does not depend on the adaptor molecule MyD88 for signal transduction, but instead utilizes TIR domain-containing adaptor inducing interferon-β (TRIF), which is also known as TICAM-1.
[0022] Upon binding to dsRNA, TLR3 undergoes dimerization (Leonard et al (2008) PNAS 105(1), 258-263), resulting in the recruitment of TRIF to the TIR domain. This triggers a signaling cascade that ultimately activates transcription factors, such as interferon regulators (IRFs) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) (Gosu et al (2019) Sci Rep 9, 3652; Bell et al (2006) PNAS 103(23), 8792-8797). These transcription factors induce the expression of type I interferons (IFNs), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and other molecules involved in antiviral defense.
[0023] TLR3 activation and subsequent production of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines contribute to the antiviral immune response. Type I interferons are important for establishing antiviral status in adjacent cells, inhibiting viral replication, and activating immune cells. Furthermore, TLR3 activation can enhance the antigen-presenting ability of dendritic cells and promote the initiation of adaptive immune responses.
[0024] TLR3s are involved in immune responses to various viral infections, including RNA viruses such as influenza, picornaviruses, and coronaviruses. Their role in antiviral defense makes TLR3s an attractive target for the development of antiviral therapies and vaccine adjuvants. Furthermore, dysregulation of TLR3 signaling is associated with autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammatory conditions.
[0025] In summary, Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is an essential component of the innate immune system, recognizing viral double-stranded RNA and initiating an immune response. Its activation triggers the production of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines, promoting antiviral defense and shaping an adaptive immune response. Studying TLR3 provides valuable insights into host-viral interactions and has potential implications for developing therapeutic interventions against viral infections.
[0026] The therapeutic effect of drugs that bind to TLR3 is understood to depend on whether the binding exerts an agonist or antagonist effect. Over the past few years, numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of TLR3 agonists in enhancing tumor-specific immune responses in mice and patients, particularly in combination with other therapeutic approaches (Le Naour et al (2020) Oncoimmunology 9(1), 1771143). A detailed review of the association between TLRs and oncology can be found in Naour and Kroemer (2023) Oncoimmunology 12(1), 2180237.
[0027] In one embodiment, the peptide ligand is specific to TLR3 (i.e., it binds to it). The peptide ligand may be specific to a particular epitope of TLR3, for example, the soluble ectodomain of human TLR3 (i.e., it binds to it). In some embodiments, the peptide ligand is specific to the membrane-proximal C-terminus of TLR3 (i.e., it binds to it). In some embodiments, the peptide ligand is specific to the inside of the horseshoe of TLR3, in contact with one-third of the β-chains (residues 18-26) of the 27 β-chains of the LRR motif (i.e., it binds to it).

[0110] As described above, those skilled in the art will understand that, when conjugated with the bicyclic peptide ligands described herein, the azide group or each azide group typically reacts with an alkyne group on one of the bicyclic peptide ligands (for example, reacting with the alkyne group contained in the K(PYA) moiety described herein to form a triazolyl group).
[0111] Any of the compounds identified above may be provided, and may also be provided herein, in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
[0112] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art, such as in the fields of peptide chemistry, cell culture and phage display, nucleic acid chemistry and biochemistry. Standard techniques are used in molecular biology, genetics and biochemical methods (Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 3rd ed., 2001, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY; Ausubel et al., Short Protocols in Molecular Biology (1999) 4). th (See ed., John Wiley & Sons, Inc.) (These are incorporated into this specification by attribution.)
[0113] [Numbering] When referring to the amino acid residue positions within the peptide of the present invention, invariant residues are omitted from the numbering, and therefore the numbering of amino acid residues within the peptide of the present invention is as follows: C-X1-X2-X3-C-X4-X5-X6-X7-X8-X9-C (Sequence number 1).
[0114] [Molecular format] N- or C-terminal extensions to a biring core sequence are hyphenated and appended to the left or right side of the sequence. For example, the N-terminal βAla-Sar10-Ala tail is as follows: βAla-Sar10-A-(Sequence ID X) This is shown in the formula, where Sar represents sarcosine and βAla represents β-alanine.
[0115] Unless otherwise specified, all bicyclic peptides are understood to have a C-terminal CONH2 group, with the exception of those containing a C-terminal cysam group lacking a C-terminal CONH2 group (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 130). Furthermore, in certain bicyclic peptides, the C-terminal CONH2 group may be replaced with a COOH group, as shown herein for BCY27058.
[0116] [Reverse peptide sequence] Based on the disclosures of Nair et al (2003) J Immunol 170(3), 1362-1373, it is assumed that the peptide sequences disclosed herein will also be useful in their retro-inverso form. For example, the sequences are reversed (i.e., the N-terminus becomes the C-terminus, and vice versa), and their stereochemistry is also reversed (i.e., D-amino acids become L-amino acids, and vice versa).
[0117] [Bicyclic peptide ligand] The bicyclic peptide ligands referred to herein refer to peptide ligands covalently bonded to a molecular scaffold. Typically, such bicyclic peptides are native or non-native amino acids with two or more reactive groups (e.g., cysteine, homocysteine (hCys, (S)-2-amino-4-sulfanybutyrate), βCys ((R)-3-amino-3-mercaptopropanoic acid), cysteamine (Cystam), or penicillamine (Pen, (R)-2-amino-3-mercapto-3-methylbutyrate), Dap ((S)-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid), or N-alkyl-Dap (e.g., N-methyl-D). The peptide comprises a polypeptide having ap ((S)-2-amino-3-(methylamino)propanoic acid) and capable of forming a covalent bond with a scaffold, and an immanent sequence between the reaction groups, referred to as a loop sequence, because the peptide forms a loop when bound to the scaffold. In this case, the peptide typically comprises at least three cysteine groups (e.g., three cysteine groups), or two cysteine groups and one cystam group, forming at least two loops, most typically two, on the scaffold.
[0118] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the Disclosure provides peptides, peptide ligands, or bicyclic peptide ligands described herein, wherein one or more cysteine or cysteamine residues of one or more polypeptides contained in the peptide, peptide ligand, or bicyclic peptide ligand are replaced with homocysteine (hCys), βCys, penicillamine (Pen), Dap, or N-methyl-Dap. To avoid doubt, in a complex described herein comprising two or more peptide ligands (e.g., two or more bicyclic peptide ligands), each ligand is modified such that, optionally independently, different ligands may be modified or unmodified, and different modified ligands may contain different modifications.
[0119] [peptide pole] As described above, in some embodiments, the peptides and ligands containing them (described in more detail herein) are specific to TLR3. In some embodiments, the complexes (e.g., multimer-binding complexes) contain TLR3-specific peptides and ligands containing them (described in more detail herein).
[0120] As used herein, the term “specific” (e.g., “specific binding”) refers in its broadest sense to a peptide or peptide ligand that binds to its biological target. In some embodiments, a peptide or peptide ligand binds to its biological target in a specific manner; that is, binding to the biological target is not nonspecific. In some embodiments, a peptide exhibiting nonspecific binding is indiscriminate; that is, a peptide can typically bind to multiple different biological species, including the target of interest and off-target binding sites, such as binding sites on cell types other than the target cell type. Therefore, in some embodiments, a peptide or peptide ligand selected or designed to bind specifically to its intended target does not exhibit indiscriminate binding to off-target binding sites.
[0121] In some embodiments, binding to a target is binding to a specific epitope on the target. A peptide or peptide ligand may be designed to be specific to a particular epitope, or it may be identified by a suitable screening method, such as a display technique (e.g., phage display), which can be used to develop high-affinity binders to a given target (e.g., an epitope). Alternatively, a peptide or peptide ligand may be identified by specific binding to a biological target (e.g., a cellular target) without knowledge of the specific epitope to which it binds. In some embodiments, a peptide or peptide ligand that specifically binds to a target or epitope has high affinity for that target or epitope. In some embodiments, the binding affinity of a peptide or peptide ligand to its epitope is determined by its dissociation constant (K). D It can be expressed in terms of Kd. Typically, a peptide or peptide ligand that specifically binds to a biological target has a K concentration of less than 10 μM, e.g., less than 1 μM, relative to that target. D It has. Often, peptides or peptide ligands that specifically bind to a biological target have a nanomolar K to that target. D For example, it may have a concentration of less than 500 nM, less than 250 nM, less than 100 nM, less than 20 nM, less than 10 nM, or even less than 1 nM. Binding affinity can be determined by methods known in the art, such as SPR and competitive assays. Several suitable assays are described in the examples.
[0122] In some embodiments, a peptide or peptide ligand that specifically binds to a biological target has a higher affinity (lower K) for a particular biological target than other biologically binding epitopes. D) has. For example, a peptide or peptide ligand that specifically binds to TLR3 typically binds to TLR3 with higher affinity than other epitopes, e.g., other Toll-like receptors. In some embodiments, a peptide or peptide ligand that specifically binds to a biological target binds to the target with an affinity at least twice as strong as the binding of the peptide to any other off-target binding partner, e.g., at least 5 times, e.g., at least 10 times, e.g., at least 20 times, e.g., at least 50 times, e.g., at least 100 times, e.g., at least 1000 times or more.
[0123] [Advantages of bicyclic peptide ligands] The specific bicyclic peptides of the present invention possess several advantageous properties that allow them to be considered drug-like molecules suitable for injection, inhalation, nasal, ocular, oral, or topical administration. These advantageous properties include: - Species cross-reactivity. This is a typical requirement for preclinical pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic evaluations. - Protease stability. Ideally, bicyclic peptide ligands should exhibit stability against plasma proteases, epithelial ("membrane-anchored") proteases, gastric and intestinal proteases, lung surface proteases, and intracellular proteases. Protease stability needs to be maintained across different species so that bicyclic lead candidates can be developed in animal models and confidently administered to humans. - Desired solubility profile. This is a function of the ratio of charged hydrophilic residues to hydrophobic residues and intramolecular / intermolecular H bonds, which is important for formulation and absorption purposes. - Optimal plasma half-life in circulation. Depending on the clinical indication and treatment regimen, it may be necessary to develop bicyclic peptides for short-term exposure in acute disease management settings, or bicyclic peptides with improved retention in circulation, and therefore optimal for managing more chronic disease states. Another factor driving a desirable plasma half-life is the requirement for sustained exposure for maximum therapeutic efficiency against concomitant toxicology due to sustained exposure of the drug. - Selectivity.

[0128] One particular group of salts consists of salts formed from acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydroiodic acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, citric acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, malic acid, isethionic acid, fumaric acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid (mesylate), ethanesulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, valeric acid, propanoic acid, butanoic acid, malonic acid, glucuronic acid, and lactobionic acid. One particular salt is a hydrochloride salt. Another particular salt is an acetate salt.
[0129] The compound is anionic, or has functional groups that can be anionic (e.g., -COOH is -COO - If it has (possibly), the salt can be formed with an organic or inorganic base to produce a suitable cation. Examples of suitable inorganic cations include alkali metal ions, such as Li + na + and K + , alkaline earth metal cations, for example, Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ , and other cations, such as Al 3+ or Zn + Examples of suitable organic cations include, but are not limited to, the ammonium ion (i.e., NH4). + ) and substituted ammonium ions (e.g., NH3R + NH2R2 + NHR3 + NR4 + Examples of suitable substituted ammonium ions include, but are not limited to, methylamine, ethylamine, diethylamine, propylamine, dicyclohexylamine, triethylamine, butylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperazine, benzylamine, phenylbenzylamine, choline, meglumine, and tromethamine, as well as those derived from amino acids, such as lysine and arginine. A common example of a quaternary ammonium ion is N(CH3)4 + That is the case.
[0130] If the peptides of the present invention contain amine functional groups, they can be reacted with an alkylating agent, for example, according to methods well known to those skilled in the art, to form quaternary ammonium salts. Such quaternary ammonium compounds are within the scope of the peptides of the present invention.
[0131] The peptides of the present invention (including peptide ligands and their complexes) may exist as zwitterions. Such compounds may also be provided in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Suitable salts include COO - Examples include those formed with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid that provides a proton to a negatively charged group, such as a quaternary nitrogen atom, and a counterion to balance the positive charge on a positively charged group, such as a quaternary nitrogen atom. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfonic acid (including methanesulfonic acid and toluenesulfonic acid), ascorbic acid, and citric acid. Hydrochloric acid and sulfonic acid are preferred, and hydrochloric acid is particularly preferred. Alternatively, the zwitterion may be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable base, such as alkali metal (e.g., sodium or potassium) and alkaline earth metal (e.g., calcium or magnesium) hydroxides.
[0132] [Modified derivative] The modified derivatives of peptide ligands described herein are understood to be within the scope of the present invention.
[0133] In some embodiments, the modified derivatives include functional fragments, derivatives, and variants of the sequences described herein.
[0134] As those skilled in the art will understand, a fragment of an amino acid sequence includes deletion variants of such a sequence in which one or more amino acids, for example, at least 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 amino acids are deleted. The deletion may occur at the C-terminus or N-terminus of the reference sequence, or within the reference sequence.
[0135] Derivatives of amino acid sequences include modified sequences, including sequences modified in vivo or ex vivo. Many different protein modifications are known to those skilled in the art and include modifications to introduce novel functions to amino acid residues, modifications to protect reactive amino acid residues, or modifications to couple amino acid residues to chemical moieties such as reactive functional groups on linkers for binding to such amino acid residues. Exemplary modifications that can be made to the provided peptides, ligands, and associated complexes are described in more detail herein.
[0136] Derivatives of an amino acid sequence include addition variants of such a sequence in which one or more amino acids, for example, at least 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 amino acids are added to or introduced into the reference sequence. The addition may occur at the C-terminus or N-terminus of the reference sequence, or within the reference sequence itself.
[0137] Amino acid sequence variants include sequences in which one or more amino acids in a reference sequence, for example, at least 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 amino acids, are replaced by one or more other residues. Amino acid sequence variants include sequences containing naturally occurring amino acids and / or non-natural amino acids.
[0138] The variants, derivatives, and fragments of the above amino acid sequence typically retain at least some of the activity / functionality of the reference sequence. In preferred embodiments, the variants, derivatives, and fragments substantially retain their biological functions as described herein. Thus, in one embodiment, the variants, derivatives, and fragments retain the binding specificity of the reference sequence, i.e., the ability to specifically bind to TLR3. In such one embodiment, the variants, derivatives, and fragments bind to the same epitope as the reference sequence. In another embodiment, the variants, derivatives, and fragments retain the binding affinity of the reference sequence. Preferably, the variants, derivatives, and fragments of the reference sequence have increased / improved activity / functionality compared to the reference sequence.
[0139] In some embodiments, variants, derivatives, or fragments of an amino acid sequence are expressed in terms of their percentage of identity with respect to a reference sequence. Protocols for determining the percentage of identity are routine procedures within the scope of the art. Suitable methods include the CLUSTAL W (Thompson et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 22(22) 4673-4680 (1994)) and iterative modification (Gotoh, J. Mol. Biol. 264(4) 823-838 (1996)); the methods described in Altschul et al., Bull. Math. Bio. 48: 603-16, 1986 and Henikoff and Henikoff, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:10915-19, 1992. In the exemplary method, two amino acid sequences are aligned, and the alignment score is optimized using a gap start penalty of 10, a gap extension penalty of 1, and the Henikoff and Henikoff (ibid.) "blosum 62" score matrices to calculate the percentage of identity as [100 × (T / L)], where T = the total number of identical matches and L = the length of the longer sequence + the number of gaps introduced into the longer sequence to align the two sequences.
[0140] In some embodiments, a variant, derivative, or fragment of a reference sequence has at least 60% identity with respect to the reference sequence, for example, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or more identity with respect to the reference sequence.
[0141] Examples of such appropriate modified derivatives include N-terminal and / or C-terminal modifications; substitution of one or more amino acid residues with one or more unnatural amino acid residues or vice versa; substitution of one or more amino acids (e.g., one or more natural amino acids) with one or more isosterically and / or isoelectronic amino acids; substitution of one or more natural amino acids with one or more isosterically and / or isoelectronic unnatural amino acids or vice versa (e.g., substitution of one or more polar amino acid residues with one or more isosterically or isoelectronic amino acids; substitution of one or more nonpolar amino acid residues with other unnatural isosterically or isoelectronic amino acids); addition of spacer groups; substitution of one or more oxidation-sensitive amino acid residues with one or more oxidation-resistant amino acid residues; and substitution of one or more amino acid residues with alanine. Modifications include substitution of one or more L-amino acid residues with one or more D-amino acid residues; N-alkylation of one or more amide bonds in a bicyclic peptide ligand; substitution of one or more peptide bonds by surrogate bonding; modification of peptide backbone length; substitution of one or more hydrogen atoms on the α-carbon of an amino acid residue with another chemical group; modification of amino acids such as cysteine, lysine, glutamic acid / aspartic acid, and tyrosine with appropriate amine, thiol, carboxylic acid, and phenol-reactive reagents for functionalizing the amino acids; and one or more modifications selected from the introduction or substitution of amino acids having azide or alkyne groups that introduce orthogonal reactivity suitable for functionalization, for example, amino acids having azide or alkyne groups that enable functionalization by moieties having alkyne or azide groups, respectively.
[0142] Amino acid residues can typically be substituted with other amino acid residues having a similar chemical structure, similar chemical properties, or similar side-chain volume ("conservative substitutions"). The introduced amino acid may have similar polarity, hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, basicity, acidity, neutrality, or charge to the amino acid being replaced. Alternatively, a conservative substitution may involve introducing another amino acid, which is aromatic or aliphatic, in place of an existing aromatic or aliphatic amino acid. Conservative amino acid substitutions are well known in the art and can be selected according to the properties of the 20 major amino acids defined in Table A above. If the amino acids have similar polarity, this can also be determined by referring to the hydroxyl scale of the amino acid side chains, which is also well known to those skilled in the art.
[0143] In one embodiment, the modified derivative includes N-terminal and / or C-terminal modifications. In a further embodiment, the modified derivative includes N-terminal modifications using appropriate amino-reactive chemistry and / or C-terminal modifications using appropriate carboxy-reactive chemistry. In a further embodiment, the N-terminal or C-terminal modification includes the addition of an effector group, including but not limited to cytotoxic agents, radiochelating agents, or chromophores.
[0144] In a further embodiment, the modified derivative includes an N-terminal modification. In a further embodiment, the N-terminal modification includes an N-terminal acetyl group. In this embodiment, the N-terminal cysteine group is capped with acetic anhydride or other suitable reagent during peptide synthesis, resulting in a molecule with an acetylated N-terminus. This embodiment offers the advantage of removing a potential recognition site for aminopeptidases and avoiding the possibility of degradation of the bicyclic peptide.
[0145] In another embodiment, the N-terminal modification involves the addition of a molecular spacer group to facilitate the binding of an effector group and the retention of the bicyclic peptide's potency to its target.
[0146] In a further embodiment, the modified derivative includes a C-terminal modification. In a further embodiment, the C-terminal modification includes an amide group. In this embodiment, the C-terminal cysteine group is synthesized as an amide during peptide synthesis, resulting in a molecule with an amidated C-terminus. This embodiment offers the advantage of removing a potential recognition site for carboxypeptidases, thereby reducing the potential for proteolysis of the bicyclic peptide.
[0147] In one embodiment, the modified derivative comprises the substitution of one or more amino acid residues with one or more non-natural amino acid residues. In this embodiment, the non-natural amino acids may be selected to have isosteric / isoelectronic side chains that are not recognized by degradable proteases and have no adverse effect on target efficacy.
[0148] Alternatively, non-natural amino acids with restricted amino acid side chains may be used so that proteolytic hydrolysis of nearby peptide bonds is conformally and sterically inhibited. In particular, these relate to proline analogs, bulky side chains, Cα-disubstituted derivatives (e.g., aminoisobutyric acid, Aib), and cycloamino acids, with simple derivatives being amino-cyclopropylcarboxylic acids.
[0149] In one embodiment, the modified derivative includes the addition of a spacer group. In a further embodiment, the modified derivative includes the addition of a spacer group to the N-terminal cysteine and / or the C-terminal cysteine.
[0150] In one embodiment, the modified derivative includes the substitution of one or more oxidation-sensitive amino acid residues with one or more oxidation-resistant amino acid residues.
[0151] In one embodiment, the modified derivative includes the substitution of one or more charged amino acid residues with one or more hydrophobic amino acid residues. In another embodiment, the modified derivative includes the substitution of one or more hydrophobic amino acid residues with one or more charged amino acid residues. The precise balance between charged and hydrophobic amino acid residues is a crucial characteristic of bicyclic peptide ligands. For example, hydrophobic amino acid residues can affect the degree of plasma protein binding and therefore the concentration of the free, available fraction in plasma, while charged amino acid residues (particularly arginine) can affect the peptide's interaction with the phospholipid membrane on the cell surface. Two of the combinations can affect the half-life, volume of distribution, and exposure of the peptide drug and can be adjusted according to clinical endpoints. Furthermore, the correct combination and number of charged and hydrophobic amino acid residues can reduce irritation at the injection site (when the peptide drug is administered subcutaneously).
[0152] In one embodiment, the modified derivative includes the substitution of one or more L-amino acid residues with one or more D-amino acid residues. This embodiment is thought to increase proteolytic stability due to steric hindrance and the tendency of D-amino acids to stabilize the β-turn conformation (Tugyi et al (2005) PNAS, 102(2), 413-418).
[0153] In one embodiment, the modified derivative includes the removal of any amino acid residue and substitution with alanine. This embodiment offers the advantage of eliminating potential proteolytic attack sites.
[0154] It should be noted that each of the above modifications works to intentionally improve the potency or stability of the peptide. Further potency improvements based on modifications can be achieved through the following mechanisms: - By utilizing the hydrophobic effect and incorporating a hydrophobic moiety that results in a lower dissociation rate, a higher affinity can be achieved. - Incorporating charged groups that utilize long-range ionic interactions results in faster binding velocities and higher affinity (see, for example, Schreiber et al, Rapid, electrostatically assisted association of proteins (1996), Nature Struct. Biol. 3, 427-31). - For example, additional constraints can be incorporated into the peptide by precisely constraining the amino acid side chains to minimize entropy loss during target binding, constraining the torsion angle of the skeleton to minimize entropy loss during target binding, and introducing additional cyclization to the molecule for the same reasons (see Gentilucci et al, Curr. Pharmaceutical Design, (2010), 16, 3185-203 and Nestor et al, Curr. Medicinal Chem (2009), 16, 4399-418 for reviews).
[0155] [Isotope variation] The present invention comprises all peptide ligands of the present invention labeled with pharmaceutically acceptable (radioactive) isotopes, in which one or more atoms are replaced by atoms having the same atomic number but with an atomic mass or mass number different from that commonly found in nature; peptide ligands of the present invention to which a metal chelating group capable of holding the associated (radioactive) isotope is bonded (referred to as an "effector"); and peptide ligands of the present invention in which a specific functional group is covalently replaced by the associated (radioactive) isotope or an isotope-labeled functional group.
[0156] Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the peptide ligand of the present invention are: 2 H(D) and 3 Hydrogen such as H(T), 11 C, 13 C and 14 Carbon such as C, 36 Chlorine such as Cl 18 Fluorine such as F 123 I, 125I and 131 Iodine such as I 13 N and 15 Nitrogen such as N, 15 O, 17 O and 18 Oxygen such as O, 32 P and other phosphorus 35 Sulfur such as S 64 Copper such as Cu 67 Ga or 68 Gallium such as Ga, 90 Yttrium such as Y and 177 Lutetium such as Lu, and 213 It contains bismuth isotopes such as Bi.
[0157] The specific isotope-labeled peptide ligands of the present invention, for example those incorporating radioisotopes, are useful in studies of the tissue distribution of drugs and / or substrates. The peptide ligands of the present invention can further possess valuable diagnostic properties in that they can be used to detect or identify the formation of complexes between labeled compounds and other molecules, peptides, proteins, enzymes, or receptors. Detection or identification methods may use compounds labeled with labeling substances such as radioisotopes, enzymes, fluorescent substances, and luminescent substances (e.g., luminol, luminol derivatives, luciferin, aequorin, and luciferase). Radioisotope tritium, i.e. 3 H(T), and carbon-14, i.e. 14 C is particularly useful for this purpose due to its ease of introduction and the ease of detection.
[0158] Deuterium, that is 2 Substitution with heavier isotopes such as H(D) may result in certain therapeutic benefits stemming from higher metabolic stability, such as an increased in vivo half-life or a reduced required dose, and therefore may be preferable in some situations.
[0159] 11 C, 18 F, 15 O and 13Substitution with positron-emitting isotopes such as 16N may be useful in positron emission tomography (PET) studies to investigate target occupancy.
[0160] The peptide ligand isotope-labeled compounds of the present invention can generally be produced by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, or by processes similar to those described in the attached examples, using appropriate isotope-labeling reagents instead of previously used unlabeled reagents.
[0161] [Molecular scaffolding] In some embodiments, the polypeptides disclosed herein are bound to a molecular scaffold. In one embodiment, the molecular scaffold includes a non-aromatic molecular scaffold. References herein to “non-aromatic molecular scaffold” refer to any molecular scaffold described herein that does not contain aromatic (i.e., unsaturated) carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring systems. Thus, in some embodiments, the polypeptide is bound to a non-aromatic molecular scaffold. In other embodiments, the polypeptide is bound to an aromatic molecular scaffold. Molecular scaffolds are described, for example, in WO2009 / 098450 and the references cited therein, particularly WO2004 / 077062 and WO2006 / 078161.
[0162] As described in the above literature, the molecular scaffold can be a small molecule, such as a small organic molecule.
[0163] In one embodiment, the molecular scaffold may be a macromolecule. In one embodiment, the molecular scaffold is a macromolecule composed of amino acids, nucleotides, or carbohydrates.
[0164] In one embodiment, the molecular scaffold includes reactive groups that can react with functional groups of a polypeptide to form covalent bonds.
[0165] The molecular scaffold may contain chemical groups that form links with peptides, such as amines, thiols, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, nitriles, carboxylic acids, esters, alkenes, alkynes, azides, anhydrides, succinimides, maleimides, alkyl halides, and acyl halides.
[0166] The molecular scaffold of the present invention comprises a chemical group that enables the functional groups of polypeptides in the encoded library of the present invention to form covalent bonds with the molecular scaffold. The chemical group is selected from a broad range of functional groups, including amines, thiols, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, nitriles, carboxylic acids, esters, alkenes, alkynes, anhydrides, succinimides, maleimides, azides, alkyl halides, and acyl halides.
[0167] The scaffolding reactants that can be used on a molecular scaffold to react with the thiol group of cysteine are alkyl halides (also called halogenoalkanes or haloalkanes).
[0168] Examples include bromomethylbenzene or iodoacetamide. Other scaffold reactive groups used to selectively couple compounds to cysteine in proteins include maleimides, αβ-unsaturated carbonyl-containing compounds, and α-halomethylcarbonyl-containing compounds. Examples of maleimides that can be used as molecular scaffolds in the present invention include tris-(2-maleimidoethyl)amine, tris-(2-maleimidoethyl)benzene, and tris-(maleimido)benzene.
[0169] In one embodiment, the molecular scaffold is selected from 1,1',1''-(1,3,5-triazinan-1,3,5-triyl)tripropa-2-en-1-one (triacryloylhexahydro-s-triazine; also known as TATA), 1,3,5-tris(bromoacetyl)hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine (TATB), 2,4,6-tris(bromomethyl)-s-triazine (TBMT), and 2,4,6-tris(chloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TCTZ).
[0170] In a further embodiment, the molecular scaffold is 1,1',1''-(1,3,5-triazinan-1,3,5-triyl)tripropa-2-en-1-one (also known as triacryloylhexahydro-s-triazine (TATA)): [ka] TATA.
[0171] Therefore, after cyclization with the bicyclic peptide of the present invention on the cysteine residue, the molecular scaffold has the following structure: [ka] It has, and also, [ka] This can be represented as forming a tri-substituted 1,1',1''-(1,3,5-triazinan-1,3,5-triyl)tripropan-1-one derivative of TATA, where * indicates a binding site of three cysteine residues.
[0172] In another embodiment, the molecular scaffold is 1,3,5-tris(bromoacetyl)hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine (TATB): [ka] TATB.
[0173] Therefore, after cyclization with the bicyclic peptide of the present invention on a cysteine residue (for example), the molecular scaffold has the following structure: [ka] It has, and also, [ka] This can be represented as forming a tri-substituted 1,3,5-tris(bromoacetyl)hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine derivative of TATB, where * indicates a binding site of three cysteine residues.
[0174] In another embodiment, the molecular scaffold is 2,4,6-tris(bromomethyl)-s-triazine (TBMT): [ka] TBMT.
[0175] Therefore, C i , C ii and C iii After cyclization with the bicyclic peptide of the present invention on a cysteine residue, the molecular scaffold has the following structure: [ka] It has, and also, [ka] This can be represented as forming a tri-substituted 2,4,6-tris(bromomethyl)-s-triazine derivative of TBMT, where * indicates a binding site of (for example) three cysteine residues.
[0176] Details of TBMT and its derivatization, and its use in cyclic peptides, are described in van de Langemheen et al (2016) ChemBioChem 10.1002 / cbic.201600612 (https: / / onlinelibrary.wiley.com / doi / abs / 10.1002 / cbic.201600612).
[0177] In another embodiment, the molecular scaffold is 2,4,6-tris(chloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TCTZ): [ka] TCTZ.
[0178] Therefore, C i , C ii and C iii After cyclization with the bicyclic peptide of the present invention on a cysteine residue, the molecular scaffold has the following structure: [ka] It has the following properties, where * indicates a binding site for (for example) three cysteine residues, forming a tri-substituted 2,4,6-tris(chloromethyl)-s-triazine derivative of TCTZ.
[0179] After cyclization of the bicyclic peptide of the present invention with either TBMT or TCTZ, derivatives of TBMT and TCTZ that form a molecular scaffold are understood to have the same structure as described above. Therefore, when a molecular scaffold that is a derivative of TBMT is referred to herein, the molecular scaffold may also be a derivative of TCTZ.
[0180] [Reactive group] The molecular scaffolds of the present invention can be bonded to polypeptides via functional groups or reactive groups on the polypeptide. These are typically formed from the side chains of specific amino acids found in polypeptide polymers. Such reactive groups may be cysteine side chains, homocysteine side chains (hCys, (S)-2-amino-4-sulfanybutyrate), βCys side chains ((R)-3-amino-3-mercaptopropanoic acid), cysteamine side chains (Cysam, 2-aminoethanethiol), penicillamine side chains (Pen, (R)-2-amino-3-mercapto-3-methylbutyrate), Dap groups ((S)-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid), N-alkyl-Dap groups (e.g., N-methyl-Dap, (S)-2-amino-3-(methylamino)propanoic acid, [Dap(Me)] group), lysine side chains, or N-terminal amine groups or any other suitable reactive groups. Further details can be found in WO2009 / 098450. In one embodiment, all reactive groups are cysteine residues.
[0181] Examples of reactive groups in natural amino acids include the thiol group of cysteine, the amino group of lysine, the carboxyl group of aspartic acid or glutamic acid, the guanidinium group of arginine, the phenol group of tyrosine, or the hydroxyl group of serine. Non-natural amino acids can provide a wide range of reactive groups, including azide, keto-carbonyl, alkyne, vinyl, or aryl halide groups. The terminal amino and carboxyl groups of polypeptides can also function as reactive groups for forming covalent bonds to molecular scaffolds / molecular cores.
[0182] The polypeptide of the present invention comprises at least three reactive groups. The polypeptide may also comprise four or more reactive groups. The more reactive groups used, the more loops can be formed in the molecular scaffold.
[0183] In a preferred embodiment, a polypeptide having three reactive groups is generated. The reaction of this polypeptide with a molecular scaffold / molecular core having three-fold rotational symmetry produces a single product isomer. The generation of a single product isomer is preferred for several reasons. The nucleic acids in the compound library encode only the primary sequence of the polypeptide, but not the isomeric state of the molecule formed during the reaction of the polypeptide with the molecular core. If only one product isomer can be formed, the assignment of the nucleic acid to the product isomer is clearly defined. If multiple product isomers are formed, the nucleic acid cannot provide information about the properties of the isolated product isomer in the screening or selection process. The formation of a single product isomer is also advantageous when a particular member of the library of the present invention is synthesized. In this case, the chemical reaction between the polypeptide and the molecular scaffold produces a single product isomer rather than a mixture of isomers.
[0184] In another embodiment of the present invention, a polypeptide having four reactive groups is generated. The reaction of this polypeptide with a molecular scaffold / molecular core having tetrahedral symmetry produces two product isomers. Even if the two different product isomers are encoded by the same nucleic acid, the isomeric properties of the isolated isomers can be determined by chemically synthesizing both isomers, separating the two isomers, and testing both isomers for binding to a target ligand.
[0185] In one embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the reactants of the polypeptide is orthogonal to the remaining reactants. The use of orthogonal reactants makes it possible to orient the orthogonal reactant to a specific site on the molecular core. The number of product isomers formed can be limited by using a linking strategy that includes orthogonal reactants. In other words, a specific sequence for linking or orienting specific reactants of the polypeptide to specific positions on the molecular scaffold can be usefully achieved by selecting a reactant distinct from or different from those selected for one or more of the at least three bonds.
[0186] In another embodiment, the reactive group of the polypeptide of the present invention reacts with a molecular linker, which can react with a molecular scaffold, and as a result, the linker interposes between the molecular scaffold and the polypeptide in the final bonded state.
[0187] In some embodiments, amino acids in a library or set of polypeptides can be replaced by any native or non-native amino acids. These interchangeable amino acids are excluded if they have functional groups for crosslinking the polypeptide to the molecular core, so that only the loop sequence is interchangeable. The interchangeable polypeptide sequence may be a random sequence, a constant sequence, or a sequence containing both random and constant amino acids. Amino acids with reactive groups are positioned in predetermined locations within the polypeptide, as the positions of these amino acids determine the loop size.
[0188] In one embodiment, a polypeptide having three reactive groups is sequence (X) l Y(X) m Y(X) n Y(X) o The formula comprises, where Y represents an amino acid having a reactive group, X represents a random amino acid, m and n are numbers from 2 to 8 that define the length of the intervening polypeptide segment, which may be the same or different, and l and o are numbers from 0 to 20 that define the length of the adjacent polypeptide segment.
[0189] Alternatively, a molecular scaffold can be attached to a peptide via a covalent interaction using a method other than thiol-mediated bonding. Alternatively, these techniques may be used to modify or attach further portions (such as small molecules of a different purpose than the molecular scaffold) to polypeptides selected or isolated according to the present invention, and in this embodiment, obviously, the bond does not need to be covalent and may include non-covalent bonds. These methods may be used instead of (or in combination with) thiol-mediated bonding by combining them with small molecules having complementary reactive groups to produce phages that present proteins and peptides having non-natural amino acids with the required chemical reactive groups, or by incorporating non-natural amino acids into chemically or recombinantly synthesized polypeptides when the molecules are made after the selection / isolation step. Further details can be found in WO2009 / 098450 or Heinis, et al., Nat Chem Biol 2009, 5 (7), 502-7.
[0190] [Effects and functional groups] A further aspect of the present invention provides a drug conjugate comprising a peptide ligand, a bicyclic peptide ligand, or a polymer-binding complex described herein, conjugated to one or more effectors and / or functional groups.
[0191] Effectors and / or functional groups may be attached, for example, to the N and / or C terminus of a polypeptide, to amino acids within the polypeptide, or to a molecular scaffold.
[0192] A suitable effector group may include an antibody or a portion or fragment thereof. For example, an effector group may include one or more constant region domains in addition to the antibody light chain constant region (CL), antibody CH1 heavy chain domain, antibody CH2 heavy chain domain, antibody CH3 heavy chain domain, or any combination thereof. An effector group may also include the hinge region of the antibody (such a region is typically found between the CH1 and CH2 domains of an IgG molecule).
[0193] In a further embodiment of this aspect of the present invention, the effector group according to the present invention is the Fc region of an IgG molecule. Advantageously, the peptide ligand-effector group according to the present invention comprises or consists of a peptide ligand Fc fusion having a tβ half-life of 1 day or more, 2 days or more, 3 days or more, 4 days or more, 5 days or more, 6 days or more, or 7 days or more. Most advantageously, the peptide ligand according to the present invention comprises or consists of a peptide ligand Fc fusion having a tβ half-life of 1 day or more.
[0194] Functional groups generally include binding groups, reactive groups for the binding of drugs or other entities, and functional groups that assist in the uptake of macrocyclic peptides into cells.
[0195] The ability of peptides to penetrate cells makes them effective against intracellular targets. Targets that can be utilized by peptides with the ability to penetrate cells include transcription factors, intracellular signaling molecules such as tyrosine kinases, and molecules involved in apoptotic pathways. Functional groups that enable cell penetration include peptides, or chemical groups attached to either peptides or molecular scaffolds. For example, peptides such as VP22, HIV-Tat, and those derived from homeobox proteins of Drosophila melanogaster (Antennapedia), as described in Chen and Harrison, Biochemical Society Transactions (2007) Volume 35, part 4, p821; Gupta et al. in Advanced Drug Discovery Reviews (2004) Volume 57 9637. Examples of short peptides that have been shown to be efficient for translocation across the plasma membrane include the 16-amino acid penetratin peptide from the Drosophila Antennapedia protein (Derossi et al (1994) J Biol. Chem. Volume 269 p10444), the 18-amino acid "model amphiphilic peptide" (Oehlke et al (1998) Biochim Biophys Acts Volume 1414 p127), and the arginine-rich region of the HIV TAT protein. Non-peptidic approaches include the use of small molecule mimes or SMOCs that can be readily bound to biomolecules (Okuyama et al (2007) Nature Methods Volume 4 p153). Other chemical strategies involving the addition of guanidinium groups to molecules also enhance cell penetration (Elson-Scwab et al (2007) J Biol Chem Volume 282 p13585). Low molecular weight molecules such as steroids can be attached to molecular scaffolds to enhance uptake into cells.
[0196] One class of functional groups that can bind to peptide ligands includes antibodies and their binding fragments, such as Fab, Fv, or single-domain fragments. In particular, antibodies that bind to proteins capable of increasing the half-life of peptide ligands in vivo can be used.
[0197] In one embodiment, the peptide ligand-effector group according to the present invention has a tβ half-life selected from the group consisting of 12 hours or more, 24 hours or more, 2 days or more, 3 days or more, 4 days or more, 5 days or more, 6 days or more, 7 days or more, 8 days or more, 9 days or more, 10 days or more, 11 days or more, 12 days or more, 13 days or more, 14 days or more, 15 days or more, or 20 days or more. Advantageously, the peptide ligand-effector group or composition according to the present invention has a tβ half-life in the range of 12 to 60 hours. In a further embodiment, it has a tβ half-life of 1 day or more. In yet another embodiment, it is in the range of 12 to 26 hours.
[0198] In one particular embodiment of the present invention, the functional group is selected from metal chelating agents suitable for complexing pharmaceutical-related metal radioisotopes.
[0199] Suitable effectors and / or functional groups also include chromophores and / or fluorophores. Suitable fluorophores are well known to those skilled in the art and include, for example, AlexaFluor compounds (e.g., AlexaFluor 488, etc.) and Bodipy compounds (e.g., Bodipy 558). Effectors and / or functional groups may include those that produce a detectable signal in the presence of a second intermediate (e.g., biotin and various protein antigens). In the case of biotin, the second intermediate may be a streptavidin-enzyme conjugate or a streptavidin-dye conjugate.
[0200] Possible effector groups also include enzymes, such as carboxypeptidase G2 for use in enzyme / prodrug therapy, where the peptide ligand replaces the antibody in ADEPT.
[0201] In one particular embodiment of the present invention, the functional group is selected from drugs, for example, cytotoxic agents for cancer treatment. Suitable examples include alkylating agents, e.g., cisplatin and carboplatin, as well as oxaliplatin, mechloretamine, cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, and ifosfamide; antimetabolites, e.g., purine analogs azathioprine and mercaptopurine or pyrimidine analogs; plant alkaloids and terpenoids, e.g., vinca alkaloids, e.g., vincristine, vinblastine, vinorelbine, and vindesine; podophyllotoxins and their derivatives etoposide and teniposide; taxanes, e.g., paclitaxel (originally known as taxol); topoisomerase inhibitors, e.g., camptothecin:irinotecan and topotecan; and type II inhibitors, e.g., amsacrin, etoposide, etoposide phosphate, and teniposide. Further medications include the immunosuppressant dactinomycin (used in kidney transplants), and antitumor antibiotics such as doxorubicin, epirubicin, bleomycin, and calicheamicin.
[0202] In one further specific embodiment of the present invention, the cytotoxic agent is selected from mytansinoids (e.g., DM1) or monomethyl auristatin (e.g., MMAE).
[0203] In one embodiment, the cytotoxic agent is linked to a bicyclic peptide by a cleavable bond, such as a disulfide bond or a protease-sensitive bond. In a further embodiment, a group adjacent to the disulfide bond is modified to control interference with the disulfide bond, thereby controlling the rate of cleavage and the release of the associated cytotoxic agent.
[0204] Published studies have established the possibility of modifying the sensitivity of disulfide bonds to reduction by introducing steric hindrance on either side of the disulfide bond (Kellogg et al (2011) Bioconjugate Chemistry, 22, 717). Greater steric hindrance reduces the reduction rates by intracellular glutathione and extracellular (systemic) reducing agents, consequently reducing the ease with which toxins are released both intracellularly and extracellularly. Therefore, the optimal choice of disulfide stability in circulation (minimizing undesirable side effects of toxins) for efficient release in the intracellular environment (maximizing therapeutic effects) can be achieved by carefully selecting the degree of interference on either side of the disulfide bond.
[0205] The disruption of either side of the disulfide bond is regulated by introducing one or more methyl groups to either the target entity (in this case, the bicyclic peptide) side or the toxin side of the molecular construct.
[0206] [Synthesis] The peptides of the present invention can be synthesized by standard techniques and subsequently reacted with a molecular scaffold in vitro. Standard chemistry can be used in this process. This allows for the rapid, large-scale production of soluble substances for further downstream experiments or validation. Such methods can be achieved using conventional chemistry, such as that disclosed by Timmerman et al. (above).
[0207] Accordingly, the present invention also relates to the production of polypeptides selected as described herein, wherein the production includes any further steps as described below. In one embodiment, these steps are carried out on a final product polypeptide produced by chemical synthesis.
[0208] Peptides can also be extended to incorporate, for example, another loop, thereby introducing multiple specificities.
[0209] Peptides can be simply chemically extended at their N-terminus or C-terminus, or within a loop, using orthogonally protected lysine (and analogues) with standard solid-phase or liquid-phase chemistry. Activated or activatable N-terminuses can be introduced using standard (bio)conjugation techniques. Alternatively, addition can be performed by fragment condensation or native chemical ligation (e.g., Dawson et al. 1994. Synthesis of Proteins by Native Chemical Ligation. Science 266:776-779), or enzymatically using subtilis ligases (e.g., Chang et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci US A. 1994 Dec 20; 91(26):12544-8 or Hikari et al. Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters Volume 18, Issue 22, 15 November 2008, Pages 6000-6003).
[0210] Alternatively, the peptides may be extended or modified by further conjugation via disulfide bonds. This has the added advantage that the first and second peptides dissociate from each other in the reducing environment of the cell. In this case, a molecular scaffold (e.g., TATA, TATB, or TBMT) may be added during the chemosynthesis of the first peptide to react with three cysteine groups; then, an additional cysteine or thiol may be added to the N or C terminus of the first peptide, so that this cysteine or thiol reacts only with the free cysteine or thiol of the second peptide, forming a disulfide-bonded bicyclic peptide-peptide conjugate.
[0211] Similar techniques can be equally applied to the synthesis / coupling of two bicyclic and two-specificity macrocyclic molecules, potentially generating a tetraspecificity molecule.
[0212] Furthermore, the addition of other functional groups or effector groups can be achieved in the same manner by appropriate chemistry, either by coupling at the N or C terminus, or via the side chain. In one embodiment, the coupling is carried out in such a way as not to interfere with the activity of any of the entities.
[0213] In some embodiments, the synthesis of the peptide ligand described herein may include the solid-phase synthesis of the polypeptide described herein. In some embodiments, the solid-phase synthesis includes Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis (e.g., described in more detail herein). In some embodiments, the synthesized polypeptide is cyclized using the molecular scaffold described herein. In some embodiments, the cyclized ligand is purified, for example, by lyophilization. In some embodiments, the synthesis of the complex described herein includes the reaction of the cyclized polypeptide with a linker described herein. In some embodiments, the reaction of the cyclized polypeptide with a linker includes the reaction of an azide group (e.g., on the linker) with an alkyne group (e.g., on the polypeptide). In some embodiments, the reaction of the azide group with the alkyne group is carried out in the presence of a suitable azide-alkyne cyclization catalyst. In some embodiments, the suitable catalyst includes CuSO4. In some embodiments, the reaction of the azide group with the alkyne group is carried out under an inert atmosphere (e.g., N2). In some embodiments, the reaction between the cyclized polypeptide and the linker involves the reaction between an amine group (e.g., on the polypeptide) and a carboxylic acid group or its activated derivative (e.g., an NHS-ester group) (e.g., on the linker). In some embodiments, the reaction between the amine group and the carboxylic acid group or its activated derivative is carried out in the presence of a suitable coupling agent. In some embodiments, the suitable coupling agent includes a base.

[0232] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the following examples. [Examples]
[0233] [material and method] (Production of bicyclic peptide ligands (general method)) Bicyclic peptides were synthesized on Rink amide resin using standard Fmoc (9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) solid-phase peptide synthesis, either by manual coupling (for large-scale applications) or a Biotage SyroII automated peptide synthesizer (for small-scale applications). After cleavage of the TFA base from the resin, the peptides were precipitated with diethyl ether and dissolved in 50:50 acetonitrile / water. The crude peptide (approximately 1 mM concentration) was then cyclized with 1.3 equivalents of ammonium bicarbonate (100 mM) as the base. Completion of cyclization was determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) or LC-MS. After completion, the cyclization reaction was quenched with N-acetylcysteine (10 equivalents relative to the peptide), and the solution was lyophilized. The residue was dissolved in a suitable solvent and purified by RP-HPLC. Peptide fractions of sufficient purity and accurate molecular weight (confirmed by MALDI-TOF and either HPLC or LC-MS) were pooled and lyophilized. The concentration was determined by UV absorption using the extinction coefficient at 280 nm, based on the extinction coefficient of aromatic amino acids at 280 nM. Examples include Trp and Tyr, as well as unnatural amino acids such as 5FTrp.
[0234] All amino acids are used in their L-configuration unless otherwise specified. References to amino acids with the prefix "d" (i.e., dC or dA) herein refer to amino acids in their D-configuration.

[0247] [Biological data] (SPR binding assay) TLR3 monomer SPR: Surface plasma resonance (SPR) is performed on Biacore T200 or 8K+ to determine the k-type of peptides that bind to TLR3 target proteins. a (M-1 s-1), k d (s-1), and K DThe (M) value was determined. Recombinant human TLR3-Avi[bt]-Fc-Flag-his protein was custom-produced in Hi5 insect cells at Charles River laboratories. The protein was captured on CM5 chips (GE Healthcare) using goat anti-human IgG at a surface density in the range of approximately 1100–1800 RU. Since dsRNAs that bind to TLR3 are known to be pH sensitive (Leonard et al (2008) PNAS 105(1), 258-265), standard SPR screening experiments were performed with 25 mM MES, 100 mM NaCl, and 0.05% Tween 20 acidic running buffer at pH 5.5. In some experiments, binding was confirmed in the neutral pH range using 25 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, and 0.05% Tween 20 buffer at pH 7.4. An 8-fold dilution series of peptides, including a peptide at a maximum test concentration of 30 mM, was prepared in a running buffer with a final dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) concentration of 0.5%. Data were corrected for the DMSO exclusion volume effect. The peptides were injected onto the tip at a flow rate of 90 μL / min at 25°C. All data were double-referenced against blank injection and a reference surface using standard processing procedures. Data were fitted to a 1:1 binding model using either steady-state or kinetic methods where appropriate (in Biacore evaluation software).

[0249] The selected monomeric bicyclic peptides of the present invention were tested in the above SPR binding assay, and the results are shown in Table 4A. [Table 5-1] [Table 5-2] [Table 5-3] [Table 5-4] [Table 5-5] [Table 5-6] [Table 5-7] [Table 5-8] [Table 5-9] [Table 5-10] [Table 5-11]
[0250] The selected polymer-binding complex of the present invention was tested in the above SPR binding assay, and the results are shown in Table 4B. [Table 6]
[0251] (TLR3 reporter assay method) Null or TLR3 cells (Invivogen, hkd-htlr3ni) were added to a 96-well plate (5e4 / well) and conditioned with BCY at 37°C for 48 hours. The supernatant was collected, mixed with QUANTI-Blue solution (rep-qbs), and the absorption was read using a plate reader (Clariostar) (Dobashi et al (2022) Experimental Biology and Medicine 247(21), 917-922).
[0252] The selected peptides of the present invention were tested using the reporter assay described above, and the results are shown in Table 5. [Table 7]
[0253] (MoMac cell binding assay) 1. MoMac generation Human PBMCs were isolated from healthy blood donors by gravity gradient centrifugation on Ficoll-Pacque (GE Healthcare 1714403) and Leukosep tubes (Greiner Bio One 227290) (data shown in Table 6 were generated from a single donor designated as donor 1875 (230110)) and frozen at 5e7 cells / mL. Thawed PBMCs were fertilized in RPMI (Gibco 11875-093) 10% FBS (Corning 35-011-CV) in a T175cm flask at 37°C for at least 2 hours. The culture medium and non-adherent cells were aspirated. The remaining cells (attached monocytes) were added to 20 mL of RPMI + 10% FBS + 100 ng / mL M-CSF (Peprotech 300-25) and incubated at 37°C for 7 days for differentiation into monocyte-derived macrophages. On day 5, RPMI + 10% FBS + 100 ng / mL M-CSF was added again. From days 7 to 10, monocyte-derived macrophages (moMac) were collected by rinsing with cold PBS and gently scraping with a sponge cell scraper. The cells were plated in 96-well round-bottom plates with 100 μL of RPMI + 10% FBS at a rate of 100,000 cells per well and allowed to rest for at least 1 hour in preparation for binding or activation assays.
[0254] 2. MoMac cell binding Differentiated cultured moMac cells are plated in 100 μL of RPMI + 10% FBS medium in a 96-well round-bottom plate, with 100,000 cells per well. Cells are stained with a viability dye, incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes, and washed. Biotin-labeled bicyclic multimer compound is pre-incubated with equimolar concentrations of phycoerythrin-labeled streptavidin at room temperature for 30 minutes. After pre-incubation, the multimer complex, surface-expressed antibodies (CD206, TLR3), and antibody-controlled stains are added to the plated moMac cells and incubated on ice for 90 minutes to prevent internalization. The supernatant is gently tapped and aspirated, and the cells are resuspended in 200 μL / well of FACS buffer (PBS + 2% FBS, 0.5 M EDTA) and immediately analyzed on an Attune Nxt flow cytometer without fixation.
[0255] The selected peptides of the present invention were tested in the MoMac cell binding assay described above, and the results are shown in Table 6. [Table 8]
[0256] The results shown in Table 6 demonstrate that an increase in "maximum gMFI" relative to "untreated gMFI" indicates the binding of a multimer-binding complex. For example, a larger signal indicates the binding of more multimer-binding complexes. It should be noted that all "untreated gMFI" values are the same because all multimer-binding complexes are bound to this single sample. BCY28217 and BCY28221 are unbound controls.
[0257] (Image analysis of monocyte-derived macrophages) Monocyte-derived macrophages, generated by negative magnetic bead enrichment of monocytes from human PBMCs and subsequent M-CSF differentiation, were incubated at 37°C for 90 minutes in the absence or presence of LPS (100 ng / mL), HMW Vacciggrade Poly I:C (10 μg / mL), or non-conjugated bicyclic peptide (1000 nM) (vehicle (BCY), 0.01% DMSO; vehicle (LPS / Poly-IC), 1% dH2O), and in the absence or presence of latex beads. After this time, the cells were fixed / permeabilized and labeled overnight at 4°C with phospho-NF-κB antibody, followed by labeling with AF647-conjugated secondary antibody and Hoechst. Images were acquired by confocal microscopy and are shown herein as Figure 1.
[0258] NF-κB translocation is known to be a crucial step in downstream signaling of TLR3. The data shown in Figure 1 demonstrate an increase in NF-κB translocation levels above background for the bicyclic peptide BCY26435, and importantly, no increase for the unbound bicyclic peptide control. Therefore, this data provides evidence that BCY26435 not only binds to TLR3 but also signals via TLR3. This supports the idea that BCY26435, and other TLR3-binding bicyclic peptides described herein by extrapolation, have biological function in primary cells.
