Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims priority from the following application: CN2021114005918 filed November 19, 2021; CN2022106482638 filed on June 8, 2022
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a series of staple-containing polypeptides and uses thereof. Specifically, the present disclosure discloses polypeptides having the sequences shown in formulas (I-1) to (I-5). [Background technology]
[0003] Overweight and obesity are serious health problems facing all humanity. They are often accompanied by other diseases, such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, kidney disease, and certain cancers. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines obesity as one of the top 10 chronic diseases. Obesity, along with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, are known as the "deadly quartet" and are likely to become the leading cause of death in the 21st century. WHO data indicates that the prevalence of obesity in China was approximately 6.2% in 2016. Furthermore, the Lancet published a 2016 survey report on global adult weight status. The survey found that the number of obese adults worldwide has exceeded the number of healthy adults, making China the country with the largest obese population in the world, surpassing the United States. The number of people suffering from diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and other diseases caused by overweight and obesity is increasing year by year, and the age groups affected are becoming younger.
[0004] Glucagon (GCG) is a hormone secreted by the pancreas and binds to the glucagon receptor (GCGR) to exert physiological functions. Glucagon promotes blood glucose levels by increasing gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Furthermore, GCG can also reduce fatty acid synthesis and lipolysis in hepatic adipose tissue. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone secreted by intestinal L-cells. It can reduce body weight by suppressing appetite and reducing food intake, as well as by increasing energy expenditure and promoting thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. Induction of GCG activity while maintaining the efficacy of GLP-1 agonists can further enhance insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells, promote brown adipose tissue metabolism, enhance fatty acid β-oxidation in the liver and reduce lipid and cholesterol production, improve cardiomyocyte survival, and accelerate lipid metabolism and reduce fat content in white adipose tissue. The synergistic effect of dual GLP-1 / GCG targets is likely to improve blood glucose levels and reduce weight more effectively than single-targeting. Therefore, research into GLP-1 / GCG dual-targeting drugs in the treatment of obesity and related diseases is of great importance. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The term "treating" includes preventing, slowing, arresting, or reversing existing symptoms or the progression or severity of a patient's condition.
[0024] Unless otherwise specified, the term "isomer" is intended to include geometric isomers, cis or trans isomers, stereoisomers, enantiomers, optical isomers, diastereomers, and tautomers.
[0025] The compounds disclosed herein may exist in specific geometric or stereoisomers. The present disclosure contemplates and encompasses all such compounds, including cis and trans isomers, (-)- and (+)-enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, diastereoisomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, and racemic mixtures and other mixtures, such as mixtures enriched in enantiomers or diastereoisomers, all of which are encompassed within the scope disclosed herein. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may also be present in substituents such as alkyl. All of these isomers and their mixtures are encompassed within the scope disclosed herein.
[0026] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "enantiomers" or "optical isomers" refer to stereoisomers that are mirror images of one another.
[0027] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "cis-trans isomers" or "geometric isomers" result from the inability to freely rotate about a double bond or a single bond between ring-forming carbon atoms.
[0028] Unless otherwise specified, the term "diastereomer" refers to stereoisomers in which there are two or more centers of chirality in the molecules and the molecules are not mirror-images of each other.
[0029] Unless otherwise specified, "(+)" denotes the dextrorotatory isomer, "(-)" denotes the levorotatory isomer, and "(±)" denotes the racemate.
[0030] Unless otherwise specified, [ka] and [ka] indicates the absolute configuration of the stereocenter, [ka] and [ka] indicates the relative configuration of the stereocenters, [ka] teeth, [ka] or [ka] or [ka] teeth, [ka] and [ka] Shows.
[0031] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "enriched in one isomer," "enriched in an isomer," "enriched in one enantiomer," or "enantiomerically enriched" mean less than 100% isomer or enantiomer, and that isomer or enantiomer is present in an amount of 60% or more, or 70% or more, or 80% or more, or 90% or more, or 95% or more, or 96% or more, or 97% or more, or 98% or more, or 99% or more, or 99.5% or more, or 99.6% or more, or 99.7% or more, or 99.8% or more, or 99.9% or more.
[0032] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "isomeric excess" or "enantiomeric excess" refer to the difference in relative proportions of two isomers or two enantiomers. For example, if one isomer or enantiomer is present in an amount of 90% and the other isomer or enantiomer is present in an amount of 10%, the isomeric or enantiomeric excess (ee) is 80%.
[0033] Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers, or D- and L-isomers, can be prepared using chiral synthesis or chiral reagents or other conventional techniques. When obtaining one enantiomer of some compounds disclosed herein, the pure desired enantiomer can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization of a chiral auxiliary, followed by separation of the resulting diastereomeric mixture and cleavage of the auxiliary. Alternatively, if the molecule contains a basic (e.g., amino) or acidic (e.g., carboxyl) functional group, the compound can be reacted with an appropriate optically active acid or base to form a diastereomeric salt, which can then be diastereoisomerically resolved by methods conventional in the art to obtain the pure enantiomers. Furthermore, enantiomers and diastereoisomers are typically separated by chromatography using chiral stationary phases, optionally with chemical derivatization (e.g., formation of carbamates from amines).
[0034] The compounds disclosed herein may contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute the compounds. For example, the compounds may contain tritium ( 3 H), iodine-125( 125 I), or C-14( 14 In another example, hydrogen may be substituted with deuterium to form a deuterated pharmaceutical. The deuterium-carbon bond is stronger than a normal hydrogen-carbon bond. Compared to non-deuterated pharmaceuticals, deuterated pharmaceuticals offer the advantages of reduced toxic side effects, improved drug stability, enhanced efficacy, and a longer biological half-life of the drug. All variations in the isotopic composition of the compounds disclosed herein, whether radioactive or not, are included within the scope of this disclosure.
[0035] When the direction of the linking group is not indicated, the direction of the linking is arbitrary. For example, [ka] When the linking group L is -MW-, -MW- is attached to ring A and ring B in the same direction as reading from left to right, [ka] and is attached to ring A and ring B in the reverse reading order from left to right, [ka] Combinations of linking groups, substituents, and / or variables thereof are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
[0036] Unless otherwise specified, if a group has one or more bondable sites, one or more sites of the group can be bonded to other groups by chemical bonds. If the bonding position of the chemical bond is variable and there is an H atom at a bondable site, when the bondable site with an H atom is bonded to a chemical bond, the number of H atoms at that site decreases as the number of bonded chemical bonds increases, and the group becomes a group of the corresponding valence. The chemical bond between that site and other groups is [ka] For example, the straight solid line of -OCH3 indicates that the group is bonded to another group via the oxygen atom of that group, [ka] The straight dashed line indicates that the group is bonded to another group via both ends of the nitrogen atom of the group, [ka] The wavy lines indicate that the group is attached to another group through the 1- and 2-carbon atoms of the phenyl group.
[0037] Unless otherwise specified, "C 1-3 The term "alkyl" is used to refer to a straight or branched chain saturated hydrocarbon group composed of 1 to 3 carbon atoms. 1-3 Alkyl groups include C 1-2 and C2-3 Included are alkyl groups and the like. They may be monovalent (e.g., methyl), divalent (e.g., methylene), or polyvalent (e.g., methenyl).
