Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to iodotyrosine derivatives, in particular Fmoc-3-Iod-tyrosine derivatives and Boc-3-Iod-tyrosine derivatives. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing iodotyrosine derivatives, in particular Fmoc-3-Iod-tyrosine derivatives and Boc-3-Iod-tyrosine derivatives. The present invention also relates to the use of iodotyrosine derivatives, in particular Fmoc-3-Iod-tyrosine derivatives and Boc-3-Iod-tyrosine derivatives, in the synthesis of peptides. Background Technology

[0002] Modifying peptides with 3-iodotyrosine (D / L) is used to have a positive effect on the properties of peptides containing iodotyrosine. In many cases, iodotyrosine is introduced primarily at the N-terminal ends of peptides or small molecules [4]. Due to the lipophilic properties of iodotyrosine, binding properties are improved, which often improves receptor affinity. Examples of peptides or peptide compounds containing iodotyrosine include the theranostic peptide pairs pentissader / pentissapho [5], HA-DOTA-TATE [6], or PSMA I&T [7]. Additionally, substituting tyrosine with iodotyrosine improves the properties of hormones, for example [8].

[0003] In most cases, iod-tyrosine is introduced using commercially available ingredients such as Fmoc-3-Iod-L-tyrosine, Fmoc-3-Iod-D-tyrosine, Boc-3-Iod-D-tyrosine, or Boc-3-Iod-L-tyrosine. The notation "Fmoc" signifies the protecting group fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl. The notation Boc signifies the protecting group tert-butyloxycarbonyl. However, the use of Fmoc-3-Iod-L-tyrosine, Fmoc-3-Iod-D-tyrosine, Boc-3-Iod-D-tyrosine, or Boc-3-Iod-L-tyrosine can be associated with undesirable side reactions because the hydroxyl function at the para position is still sufficiently nucleophilic and can be acylated by the C-terminal activated amino acid. In most cases, this results in the loss of the amino acid, rendering it unusable for binding. In this regard, due to the high reactivity of the nucleophilic hydroxyl function of tyrosine, binding with Fmoc-3-Iod-L-tyrosine, Fmoc-3-Iod-D-tyrosine, Boc-3-Iod-D-tyrosine, or Boc-3-Iod-L-tyrosine has been proven impossible if little or no conversion occurs at this reaction step.

[0004] One way to overcome these disadvantages is to iodide the tyrosine in the final peptide product. This method generally results in two different products consisting of monoiodinated tyrosine residue and diiodinated tyrosine residue [9]. Both products must be separated by reverse-phase chromatography, which makes industrial use difficult. Additionally, this method is not suitable when there is more than one tyrosine unit in the peptide. Furthermore, this method is not suitable for industrial use because the scale of synthesis is clearly limited. Also, the starting materials must be separated.

[0005] Cobb et al.

[10] proposed the direct iodination of fully protected Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-OH in the presence of Ag2SO4 in methanol, which, following saponification, primarily leads to Fmoc-3-Iod-Tyr(tBu)-OMe. This method is considered unsuitable for the larger scale required for industrial use. Amedio et al.

[11] proposed the use of Boc-3-Iod-Tyr(PMB)-OH. In another example, Kiyoyuki et al. used Boc-3-Iod-Tyr(Boc)-OH for the synthesis of cyclic peptides

[12] . Both protected iod-tyrosine derivatives are suitable only for Boc chemistry. Martiny et al. synthesized Fmoc-3-Iod-Tyr(TBDMS)-OH, which proved suitable for introducing iodinated tyrosine into peptides using Fmoc / tBu chemistry

[13] . A disadvantage of this particular compound is its vulnerability to (weak) acids (e.g., hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP)). Due to this vulnerability, the peptide cannot be separated from the resin (e.g., using HFIP) while in a completely protected state. The notation "tBu" means the protecting group "tert-Butyl", the notation "Me" means Metyhl, the notation "boc" means the protecting group tert-Butoxycarbonyl, the notation "PMB" means the protecting group p-Methoxybenzyl, and the notation "TBDMS" means the protecting group "tert-Butyldimethylsilyl". The problem to be solved

[0006] The objective of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages according to the prior art. Iod-tyrosine derivatives, in particular Fmoc-3-Iod-tyrosine derivatives and Boc-3-Iod-tyrosine derivatives, must be provided such that the modification of the peptide by the introduction of iodoc-tyrosine units is prevented without the aforementioned side reactions, and the separation of the peptide thus modified from the resin is not achieved in a protected state. means of solving the problem

[0007] The above problem is solved by the features of claims 1, 9, and 12. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are presented in the features of the dependent claims.

Fig. 1 FIG. 1a illustrates the preparation of a compound according to the present invention of the general formula Ia from a compound of the general formula IIa. Compound IIa is a compound of the general formula II, where SG is Fmoc. The method illustrated in FIG. 1a is an example of the method illustrated in FIG. 1.

In this case, a protecting group is introduced to the N-terminus of the compound of General Formula IV to protect the amine function.

The compound of General Formula II is identical to the compound of General Formula IV except that the N-terminus of the compound of General Formula IV is protected by the protecting group SG. Ambient temperature refers to a temperature of 18 to 25°C. In the case where Fmoc is introduced as a protecting SG in step (a) of FIG. 1, step (a) can be performed under a protecting gas, for example, an argon atmosphere, at ambient pressure and ambient temperature. To introduce Fmoc as a protecting SG, step (a) is preferably performed in this case in a mixture of an aqueous sodium carbonate solution and 1,4-dioxane.

After the preparation of the peptide, unit A derived from the compound of general chemical formula I is isolated, and as a result, a peptide having a 3-iodo-tyrosine unit in which the phenol OH group is not protected is obtained.
