Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a peptide structure that specifically binds to carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX). Specifically, the present invention relates to a high-affinity CAIX-binding peptide structure comprising a CAIX-binding peptide ligand that is specific to CAIX and includes a D-amino acid to enhance stability, and to the use thereof for the diagnosis, prevention, inhibition, or treatment of diseases mediated by CAIX.

[0002] This research was conducted with funding from the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and with support from the National Drug Development Project of the National Drug Development Agency (Project ID: RS-2023-00218641).

[0003] This research was supported by Korea Drug Development Fund funded by Ministry of Science and ICT, Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, and Ministry of Health and Welfare (RS-2023-00218641, Republic of Korea). Background Technology

[0004] Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a compound found in zinc (Zn), which is commonly present in higher vertebrates, including humans. 2+ It is a metalloenzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydration reaction converting carbon dioxide into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions (CO2 + H2O ↔ HCO3 + H +Sixteen isozyme forms of these CAs have been identified, and in humans, they exist in various tissues including the gastrointestinal tract, reproductive tract, nervous system, kidneys, lungs, skin, and eyes. Most CA isozymes are known to be involved in important physiological processes such as respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid (Thiry et al., TRENDS in Pharmacological Sciences , 27 (11): 566-573, 2006).

[0005] Among the CA family, carbonic anhydrous enzyme IX (CAIX) is uniquely expressed very restrictively in normal tissues, whereas it is abnormally overexpressed in the majority of solid tumors; this is reported to be due to strong transcriptional activation by the transcription factor Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF-1), which is induced by hypoxia caused by the excessive proliferation of solid tumors (De Simone et al., Biochimica et Biophysica Acta , 1804 :404-409, 2010; Thiry et al, ditto ).

[0006] Tumor hypoxia arises from the creation of an oxygen-deficient environment as solid tumors grow at a rate exceeding the blood supply capacity of the host vascular system. Even in a hypoxic microenvironment, solid tumors maintain continuous growth and proliferation through various genetic mutations. These hypoxic tumor cells exhibit increased resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy because it is difficult to deliver anticancer agents via the blood, and in the case of radiotherapy, there is a lack of oxygen necessary for the cytotoxic action of radiation-derived free radicals. Furthermore, hypoxic tumor cells induce the overexpression of CAIX on their cell surface, lowering the pH of the extracellular environment through CO2 hydration by the extracellular catalytic domain of CAIX. This resulting acidic tumor microenvironment can promote tumor cell invasion and metastasis and neutralize pH-sensitive agents (Thiry et al., ditto Therefore, tumor hypoxia is generally known as a poor prognostic factor for cancer patients.

[0007] Recently, active research has been conducted to inhibit the growth and proliferation of tumors associated with CAIX by targeting CAIX overexpressed in tumor cells or by disrupting the catalytic activity of CAIX to destroy pH regulation by tumor cells. These studies primarily focus on the development of monoclonal antibodies that bind to CAIX or small molecule inhibitors of the sulfonamide class. However, when targeting solid tumors, monoclonal antibodies with large molecular weights present difficulties in efficient delivery, and small molecule inhibitors of the sulfonamide class are relatively unstable in solution, which limits their usefulness as pharmaceutical compounds.

[0008] Therefore, there is a need to develop novel CAIX-specific binders and inhibitors with high affinity, stability, and suitability for the pharmaceutical use of cancer treatment, including the treatment, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and imaging of cancer. Prior art literature

After confirming that sufficient precipitation had occurred, allyl alcohol (2 equivalents, Cat# 240532, Sigma-Aldrich) was added and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 16 hours. After the reaction, most of the precipitate was filtered through a paper filter, and the resulting solution was concentrated using an evaporator. The gel-like substance was then completely dissolved in a small amount of ethyl acetate, and the solution was stored at 20°C for 16 hours to induce precipitation. The precipitate of the ethyl acetate solution containing the dissolved reactant was filtered through a paper filter, transferred to a separatory funnel, and 100 mL of ethyl acetate was added. The organic layer was washed once with a saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution (Cat# S0341, Samjeon Soonyak Industrial Co., Ltd.), twice with triple distilled water, and once with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution (Cat# S0476, Samjeon Soonyak Industrial Co., Ltd.) using a separatory funnel. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate (Cat# M1806, Samjeon Soonyak Industrial Co., Ltd.) was added to the washed organic layer and dried, and then the solution obtained by filtering the precipitate through a paper filter was concentrated using an evaporator.The concentrated gel-form material was completely dissolved in a minimal amount of DCM, and half of the solution was purified using a column (40 x 210 mm) containing 200 g of silica gel (0.063–0.200 mm, Cat# 1.07734.1000, Sigma-Aldrich). An ethyl acetate : hexane (Cat# 1.07734.1000, Sigma-Aldrich) = 1 : 1 solution was used as the developing solvent. The remaining DCM solution was also purified in the same manner using a silica gel column. The reaction product, Fmoc-D-Orn(boc)-OAll, had an Rf of 0.59 (ethyl acetate : hexane = 1 : 1). The purified solution with this Rf was collected and concentrated using an evaporator to obtain Fmoc-D-Orn(boc)-OAll.

[0105] For the next reaction, to remove the Boc protecting group, Fmoc-D-Orn(boc)-OAll (1 equivalent) was placed in a round-bottom flask, and a TFA : DCM = 1 : 1 mixed solution was slowly poured in at room temperature, mixed, and stirred well for 1 hour. After the reaction, the solution was concentrated using an evaporator. The process of dissolving the concentrated material in DCM and concentrating it again using an evaporator was repeated 3 times. Then, the concentrated material was dissolved in DCM anhydrous (Cat# 270997, Sigma Aldrich), sealed, and stored in a freezer. The molecular weight and purity of the concentrated material were confirmed using LC-MS as in Example 1-1 above, and then used in the next reaction without any special purification process.

[0106] 2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl isothiocyanate (2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl isothiocyanate, pbf-NCS), which is required for the next reaction, was first synthesized as follows.

[0107] A solution of tetrabutylammonium thiocyanate (Bu4NNCS, 5 equivalents, Cat# T1278, TCI) and 2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl chloride (pbf-Cl, 1 equivalent, Cat# BD41320, BLD Pharmatech) dissolved in anhydrous DCM was added to a round-bottom flask, and after adding a reflux condenser, the reaction solution was refluxed (75°C) and reacted for 1 hour. The reaction product pbf-NCS [Rf=0.49 (hexane : DCM = 1 : 1)] was confirmed by TLC. After the reaction was complete, the concentrated gel-like substance was completely dissolved in a minimal amount of DCM and purified using a column (40 x 210 mm) containing 200 g (0.063–0.200 mm) of silica gel. The developing solvent used was ethyl acetate : hexane = 1 : 1. The purified solution with an Rf of 0.49 was collected and concentrated using an evaporator to obtain a clear liquid pbf-NCS. The procedure of this reaction is as follows.

[0108] [Reaction Equation 4]

[0109]

[0110] For the next reaction, the Fmoc-D-Orn-OAll (1 equivalent) synthesized above, pbf-NCS (1.2 equivalents), and DIPEA (10 equivalents) were dissolved in DCM in a round-bottom flask and reacted at room temperature for 1 hour. After the reaction, the solution was concentrated using an evaporator, and the concentrated material was completely dissolved in a small amount of DCM and then purified using a column (40 x 210 mm) containing 200 g (0.063-0.200 mm) of silica gel. Ethyl acetate : hexane = 1 : 1 was used as the developing solvent. The reaction product, Fmoc-D-Orn(SCN(pbf))-OAll, had an Rf of 0.62 (ethyl acetate : hexane = 1 : 1). The purified solution with the corresponding Rf was collected, concentrated using an evaporator, and used for the next reaction.

[0111] In a round-bottom flask, synthesized Fmoc-D-Orn(SCN(pbf))-OAll (1 equivalent) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCl, 2 equivalents, Cat# E7750, Sigma-Aldrich) were dissolved in DCM, and 2 M dimethyl amine in THF (2 equivalents, Cat# 391956, Sigma-Aldrich) was added and reacted at room temperature for 10 minutes. After confirming the molecular weight and purity of the reaction mixture using the LC-MS of Example 1-1, the reaction mixture was concentrated using an evaporator once the reaction was complete. The concentrated substance was dissolved in a mixed solution of ACN and triple-distilled water (1:1) and filtered through a 45 μm syringe filter (Cat# DISMIC-3HP, Advantec), and purified using HPLC as in Example 1-1. The purified substance, Fmoc-D-ADMA(pbf)-OAll, was freeze-dried to obtain it in powder form.

[0112] Finally, under Ar, the synthesized Fmoc-D-ADMA(pbf)-OAll (1 equivalent), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.05 equivalents), and N-methyl aniline (3 equivalents, Cat# M29304, Sigma-Aldrich) in a glass vial were dissolved in anhydrous THF and reacted at room temperature for 1 hour. After confirming the molecular weight and purity of the reactants by LC-MS, the reactants were concentrated using an evaporator. The concentrated material was dissolved in a mixed solution of ACN / triple distilled water (1:1), filtered through a 45 μm syringe filter, and purified under the same HPLC conditions used above. The purified substance was freeze-dried to obtain Fmoc-D-ADMA(pbf)-OH (N-α-Fmoc-N,N-ω-dimethyl-N-ωÆ-(2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl)-D-arginine, Fmoc-r(dimet)-OH, S5 ) was obtained in powder form. S5 The entire synthesis process is as follows.

[0113] [Reaction Equation 5]

[0114]

[0115] 1-2. Synthesis of Solid-Phase Peptides

[0116] Solid-phase peptide chains were synthesized using an automated ultrasonic peptide synthesizer (Liberty Blue™ automated microwave peptide synthesizer, CEM Corporation) or an automated synthesizer (Apex 396, AAPPTEC). Two types of solid-phase resins were used for the synthesis, differing in the C-terminus of the resulting peptides. Rink Amide-ChemMatrix® Resin (0.41 mmole / g, Cat# 7-600-1310, Biotage), used for most materials, has a -CONH2 C-terminus, while 2-Chlorotrityl Chloride Resin has a -COOH C-terminus. Rink Amide-ChemMatrix® Resin can be used directly for synthesis, but 2-Chlorotrityl Chloride Resin (1.07 mmole / g, Cat# GLS210819-48101, BL BioChem) was used after mounting by dissolving the first amino acid (5 equivalents) and DIPEA (10 equivalents) in DCM solvent and reacting for 12 hours under an Ar atmosphere. In an automated ultrasonic peptide synthesizer, a resin swollen in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) was treated with Fmoc-amino acid (5 equivalents), Oxyma Pure (5 equivalents, Cat# cxz021, AApptec), and diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC, Cat# D0254, TCI) (10 equivalents) in NMP solvent. After coupling in NMP solvent at 75°C for 5 minutes, the resin was washed 3 times with NMP, and the Fmoc protecting group was removed by reacting with a piperidine / NMP (v / v = 1:4, 0.1 M OxymaPure) mixed solution at 90°C for 1 minute. After repeating the Fmoc-amino acid synthesis process to connect the beads, the beads were collected from the synthesizer.Similarly, in an automated synthesizer (Apex 396, AAPPTEC), the resin swollen in NMP was treated with Fmoc-amino acid (5 equivalents), TBTU (5 equivalents), and DIPEA (10 equivalents) in NMP solvent and coupled at room temperature for 45 minutes. Afterward, the resin was washed with NMP and DCM, and the Fmoc protecting group was removed by reacting a piperidine / NMP (v / v = 1:4) mixed solution at room temperature for 10 minutes. After repeating the Fmoc-amino acid synthesis process to connect the groups, the beads were collected from the synthesizer. Furthermore, when the materials synthesized in Example 1-1 were used for solid-phase peptide synthesis, the reaction was performed directly manually rather than through instrumental synthesis, and the number of equivalents of the reagents used in the synthesis was reduced to 2 equivalents. In particular, for the synthesis of cyclic peptides, Fmoc-E(OAll)-OH (Cat#36613, GL Biochem) was first introduced, followed by a peptide linkage (cyclization) reaction.

[0117] 1-3. Synthesis of Structures and Functional Groups of Solid-Phase Peptides

[0118] 1-3-1. Cyclic reaction

[0119] The reaction to remove the allyl protecting group from glutamic acid of solid beads synthesized using an automated synthesizer was carried out. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (Pd(PPh3)4, 1 equivalent, Cat# 216666, Sigma-Aldrich) and PhSiH3 (30 equivalents, Cat# 335150, Sigma-Aldrich) were dissolved in DCM solvent under an argon (Ar) atmosphere, placed in a filter-equipped cylinder containing solid beads, sealed with a lid, and reacted for 1 hour while suspended from a 180° shaker at room temperature. Afterward, the beads were washed 3 times with NMP, and then washed at least 5 times with a 0.1M sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (Cat# D3506, Sigma-Aldrich) in NMP solution to remove Pd impurities. Afterward, the beads were washed three times with NMP, and 3 mL of piperidine / NMP (v / v = 1:4) solution was added to remove the N-terminal Fmoc protecting group. The beads were then hung on a 180° shaker at room temperature for 5 minutes, after which the solution was emptied and refilled, and the mixture was reacted for 10 minutes. After the reaction was complete, the beads were washed three times each with NMP, DCM, and then NMP. The cyclization reaction of beads from which both Fmoc and OAll had been removed was carried out by adding an NMP solution mixed with (7-Azabenzotriazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyAOP) (5 equivalents, Cat# 36813, GL Biochem) and DIPEA (10 equivalents), sealing the container with a lid, and then hanging it on a 180° shaker at room temperature for 12 hours. The solid beads after the reaction were washed three times with NMP and DCM and used for the next reaction. An example of a cyclization reaction scheme for the synthesis of cyclic peptides is shown below.

[0120] [Reaction Equation 6]

[0121]

[0122] 1-3-2. Synthesis of Functional Groups

[0123] After the cyclization reaction, the solid-phase peptide requiring the synthesis of a functional group undergoes the following reaction on the beads.

[0124] The introduction of Biotin, DOTA, PSC, TCMC, IB, and sIB functional groups was carried out by removing the Mtt or Dde protecting group from a bead equipped with a peptide containing lysine protected by a 4-methyltrityl (Mtt) or 1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohex-1-ylidene)ethyl (Dde) substituent. The Mtt protecting group was removed by treating with a mixed solution of 1.5% TFA / 2.5% TIPS / 96% DCM at room temperature for 5 minutes each, for a total of 6 times, and the Dde protecting group was removed by mixing hydroxylamine hydrochloride / imidazole (1.3:1, w / w) in NMP solvent and reacting at room temperature for 2 hours twice or for 12 hours once.Subsequently, on beads having amine functional groups from which the protecting group has been removed, Biotin-NHS ester (2 equivalents, Cat# 246201, SY Innovation) or DOTA-tris(tert-butyl ester) (2 equivalents) or DO2Atbu-mono amide mono acid (PSC fitted with 2 tert-butyl protecting groups, 2 equivalents, Cat# C134, Chematech) or S-2-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraaza-1,4,7,10-tetra(2-carbamoylmethyl)cyclododecane (TCMC-NSC, 2 equivalents, Cat# BM02751, A2B chem) or 4-(4-iodophenyl)butanoic acid (IB-OH, 2 equivalents, Cat# BD11901, BLD Pharmatech) or 2-(4-iodophenyl)acetic acid (SIB-OH, 2 equivalents, Cat# BD6173, BLD Pharmatech) was reacted with TBTU (2 equivalents) and DIPEA (10 equivalents) in NMP solvent at room temperature for 1 hour. After the reaction was complete, the beads were washed sequentially three times each with NMP and DCM and used for the next reaction.

[0125] The introduction of zwitteric ion (SZW) functional groups is performed using peptides containing lysine or DAP residues protected by Mtt or Dde. Following the method mentioned above, the Mtt or Dde protecting groups were removed to convert the N-terminus of the peptides synthesized on the beads into a deprotected amine form. Subsequently, 2-bromoacetic acid (30 equivalents, Cat# 17000, Sigma-Aldrich) and DIC (30 equivalents) were dissolved in DMF, added to the beads containing the deprotected amines, and reacted for 3 hours. After the reaction was complete, the beads were washed sequentially three times each with NMP and DCM. Then, the directly synthesized S4 After dissolving (30 equivalents) in triple distilled water, the mixture was placed in beads submerged in DMF along with DIPEA (30 equivalents) and reacted for 12 hours. After the reaction was complete, the beads were washed sequentially three times each with NMP and DCM and used for the next reaction.

[0126] Subsequently, a peptide containing an azido functional group on a solid-phase bead was synthesized by proceeding with a click reaction with 4-ethynylbenzenesulfonamide (Cat# E1130, TCI). Under an Ar atmosphere, a peptide containing an azido functional group on a solid-phase bead (1 equivalent), 4-ethynylbenzenesulfonamide (2 equivalents per azido functional group), CuI (1 equivalent per azido functional group), tris(benzyltriazolylmethyl)amine (TBTA, 2 equivalents per azido functional group, Cat# T2993, TCI), and DIPEA (10 equivalents) were mixed in NMP solvent and reacted at room temperature for 12 hours. After the reaction was complete, the beads were washed 3 times with NMP and at least 5 times with a 0.1 M sodium diethyldithiocarbamate in NMP solution to remove copper impurities. An example of removing an Mtt protecting group from a peptide and introducing an IB functional group and SFA is as follows.

[0127] [Reaction Equation 7]

[0128]

[0129] 1-4. Peptide cleavage, separation, and purification from solid-phase beads

[0130] Beads loaded with dried peptides were treated with a mixed solution of 95% TFA / 2.5% TIPS / 2.5% triple-distilled water at room temperature for 6 hours. The beads were removed using a filter, and the TFA mixed solution containing the peptides was collected in a conical tube and most of the mixed solution was removed by blowing nitrogen gas into it. Subsequently, diethyl ether was added to precipitate the peptides, and the mixture was placed in a centrifuge and spun at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes. After removing the supernatant diethyl ether and the small amount of remaining TFA mixed solution, the remaining solid peptides were vacuum dried.

[0131] The peptides cleaved from solid phase beads were dissolved in a mixed solution of ACN and triple-distilled water (1:1), and insoluble impurities were removed using a 45 μm syringe filter. The solution was then purified and analyzed using the system mentioned in Example 1-1. The solvent conditions and analysis results of the LC-MS are shown in Figures 6a to 6d. The purified peptide solution was desolvated using a freeze-dryer and used in powder form.

[0132] 1-5. Mounting 6OH functional groups on purified peptides

[0133] Purified peptides in powder form containing residues of Lys or DAP and 6OH(Protected)-NHS ( S1) (6 equivalents) and DIPEA (15 equivalents) were dissolved in DMF and reacted for 2 hours under magnetic stirring. After the reaction, impurities were removed using a 45 μm syringe filter, and the reaction was observed and purified using the same system mentioned in Example 1-1. The purified peptide solution was desolvated using a freeze-dryer and then converted into a powder. To remove the acetal protecting group of 6OH (Protected), a mixed solution of 95% (v / v) TFA, 2.5% (v / v), and 2.5% (v / v) TIS water was added to the purified peptide and reacted for 2 minutes. Care must be taken at this time, as exceeding 2 minutes will cause the 6OH group to detach from the Lys or DAP residues. Immediately after the reaction, a mixed solution of ACN and triple-distilled water (1:1) is added, and to neutralize the solution, trimethylamine (Cat# T0424, TCI) is slowly added in an amount equal to the amount of TFA solution added under ice water at 0°C. This solution is purified once again under the same conditions as above, and the obtained peptide solution can be obtained in powder form using a freeze dryer.

[0134] 1-6. Mounting fluorescent dyes (AF488, Cy5) on purified peptides

[0135] After first purifying the peptide requiring the introduction of a fluorescent dye, the fluorescent dye was loaded onto the peptide through click chemistry between the alkyne functional group contained in the peptide chain (introduced using Fmoc-propargyl-Gly-OH (Fmoc-Pra-OH, Cat# 21528, GL Biochem)) and the azido functional group contained in the fluorescent dye. Powdered peptide (1 equivalent), fluorescent dye Alexa Fluor 488 azide (AF488 azide, Cat# 1275, Click Chemistry Tools) or Sulfo-Cyanine5 azide (Cy5 azide, cat# E3330, Lumiprobe) (1 equivalent), 1 M CuSO4 aqueous solution (3 equivalents), and 1 M ascorbic acid (6 equivalents) were reacted under an Ar atmosphere for 1 hour. After the reaction, the progress of the reaction was checked using the LC-MS mentioned in Example 1-1. For the peptide containing the DOTA functional group, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (5 equivalents) was added to remove the copper coordinated to DOTA, and after reacting for 20 minutes, the removal of copper was confirmed by LC-MS. The confirmed peptide was purified using the same system mentioned in Example 1-1. An example of a peptide equipped with a fluorescent dye is as follows.

[0136] [Reaction Equation 8]

[0137]

[0138] Through the synthesis process described above, peptide structures having sulfonamide functional groups that specifically bind to human CAIX were obtained as follows. The HPLC analysis conditions, retention times, and molecular weights observed using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) for each substance are shown in Figures 6a to 6d. The analytical instrument used was LC-MS (1260 Infinity II, Infinity Lab LC / MSD, Agilent), and the data were analyzed using MNOVA (v. 14.2.0, Mestrelab research, Spain). An Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C18 column (4.6 X 50 mm, 2.7 μm) was used as the stationary phase, and the column temperature was maintained at 40°C. In addition, a mixture of acetonitrile (ACN) containing 0.1% TFA and triple distilled water containing 0.1% TFA was used as the mobile phase solvent, and the wavelengths were maintained at 214 and 254 nm and the flow rate at 1 mL / min.

[0364] 1-7. Labeling of Lutetium-175 (Lu-175)

[0365] h For binding affinity experiments for CAIX proteins, some peptide constructs containing DOTA linkers were labeled with lutetium-175 (Lu-175) instead of the isotope lutetium-177 (Lu-177).

[0366] The synthesized peptide construct was dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 2 mM, and lutetium-175 (LuCl3, Cat#450960, Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in sodium acetate buffer solution (pH 5.5) at a concentration of 10 mM. After adding 3 equivalents of lutetium-175 to the peptide construct (1 equivalent) dissolved in DMSO, 500 μL of sodium acetate buffer solution (pH 5.5) was added, and the mixture was reacted in a thermoblock (Cat#B10-48, BLE) at 90 °C for 30 minutes. After the reaction was complete, the solution was cooled to room temperature and purified using a 1260 Infinity II LC system (Agilent) under the following conditions: (1) stationary phase was a Kromasil 100-5-C18 column (10 x 250 mm, 5 μm), (2) mobile phase solvent was a mixture of triple-distilled water with 0.1% acetic acid added and ACN, (3) flow rate was 8 mL / min, and (4) detection wavelengths were 214 and 254 nm.

[0370] 2-1-1. Analysis using BLITZ equipment

[0371] Binding affinity is based on the BLItz® system (Cat# 45-5000, Fort ) which is based on Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) technology. The advanced kinetics module of BLItz Pro ver1.3 software was used. A streptavidin biosensor (Cat# 18-5019, Sartorius) was used for all measurements. Additionally, a protein concentration of 0 nM was used as a reference to correct for non-specific binding and background. First, 10X Octet kinetics buffer (Cat# 18-1105, Sartorius) was prepared to 1X using DPBS (Cat# L0615, Biowest) and used as the analytical buffer solution. Next, the analytical buffer solution was dispensed at a rate of 200 μl / well into 96-well black, flat-bottom polypropylene (Cat# 655209, Greiner Bio-One), and the streptavidin biosensor was immersed in the solution for 10 minutes to perform hydration. Then, after attaching the biosensor to the instrument, the peptide was loaded at a concentration of 1 μM at 2200 rpm for 120 seconds to attach. Subsequently, protein association and dissociation were performed at each concentration at 2200 rpm for 120 seconds, and the kinetics data were analyzed using the global fitting function for K D The value was calculated as the ratio of kd to ka. In addition, the kinetic parameter was obtained by fitting a baseline correction and a 1:1 binding model.

[0372] The results are shown in Fig. 1a. The curves shown in each graph in Fig. 1a represent the experimental results obtained by varying the protein concentration. The protein concentration corresponding to each curve is indicated below the curve. For example, in Graph 2 shown in Fig. 1a, the curve indicated at the very top is h This shows the result value when the concentration of CAIX(nM) is 125 nM, and the graph displayed at the bottom is h This represents the result value when the concentration of CAIX(nM) is 50 nM. The peptide structures are h Compared to CAXII ECD h It showed significantly high selectivity for CAIX ECD.

[0374] The Octet®R8 system (Octet BLI Discovery 13 software) is an instrument based on the same principle as the BLItz® system, and a protein (Cat# CA9-H82E3, ACRO Biosystems) was attached to a streptavidin biosensor (Cat# 18-5019, Sartorius) for analysis. The protein was loaded by diluting it to 300 nM in DPBS (Cat# L001-02, WELGENE) at 1000 rpm for 600 seconds, and subsequently, association and dissociation were performed for 300 seconds and 600 seconds, respectively, at 1000 rpm with the peptide (0.5% DMSO) diluted in DPBS at each concentration. It was confirmed that there was no non-specific binding of peptides to the biosensor at 100 nM of each peptide, and a peptide concentration of 0 nM was used as the reference for background correction. K D The values ​​were obtained in the same way as the BLItz® system, and the results are shown in Figs. 1b and 1c.

On the day of the experiment, the culture medium was removed from flasks containing SK-RC-52 cells cultured at 80% confluency and washed twice with 10 mL of PBS buffer. 1 mL of Trypsin-EDTA was added in an incubator (37°C, 5% CO2, humid conditions, Galaxy 170 S) for 5 minutes, after which the Trypsin-EDTA was neutralized with 9 mL of culture medium. The neutralized cell mixture and an additional 10 mL of culture medium were added to the flask, and the collected cell mixture was placed in a 50 mL tube and centrifuged using a VARISPIN 15R centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 3 minutes. The supernatant of the centrifuged cell mixture was removed, and fresh culture medium was added at 5 x 10⁶ per 200 μL. 5 The cells were diluted to a cell count and dispensed in 200 μL aliquots into 96-well round plates (Cat# 34096, SPL LIFE SCIENCE). After centrifuging at 1000 RPM for 3 minutes using a VARISPIN 15R centrifuge, the supernatant was removed from each well, and 200 μL of a pre-prepared 5 or 10 nM peptide construct solution was added, followed by incubation in an incubator. After 1 hour, the cells were centrifuged at 1000 RPM for 3 minutes using a VARISPIN 15R centrifuge, the supernatant was removed, and the cells were washed with 200 μL of FACS buffer. After washing, 200 μL of FACS buffer was added to each well and mixed with the cells. The cells were then transferred to a 5 mL round-bottom tube equipped with a cell strainer (Cat# 352235, CORNING), and the fluorescence intensity of each cell was measured using a BD Accuri C6 Plus (BD Biosciences). The measured data were analyzed using FlowJo 10.7.1 (BD Biosciences).
