Abstract
Description
Solid-phase synthesis of GLP-1 / GIP dual agonists Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of solid-phase synthesis of polypeptide compounds. More specifically, the present invention provides the use of a dipeptide fragment in the solid-phase synthesis of a polypeptide compound, and a method for solid-phase synthesis of a dipeptide fragment of a polypeptide compound. The dipeptide fragment is selected from the following structures: Gly-Gly, Ile-Aib, Tyr-Aib, Thr-αMePhe, and Glu-Gly. Background Art
[0002] The solid-phase synthesis of polypeptide compounds uses a solid-phase resin carrier as a synthesis platform. Amino acids are connected to the resin carrier one by one according to a predetermined sequence. The synthesized peptide chain is then cut off with a cleavage agent and further purified to obtain a high-purity polypeptide.
[0003] However, when synthesizing peptides with more than 20 amino acids, the content of oligopeptide byproducts, mainly residue deletions, increases significantly and accumulates continuously. Because these oligopeptide byproducts are very similar to the target peptide in molecular weight, solubility, polarity and structure, they bring difficulties to separation and purification.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to continuously improve the synthesis method of long-chain polypeptide compounds in order to increase the synthesis yield and purity of long-chain polypeptide compounds and reduce production costs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for solid-phase synthesis of a dipeptide fragment of a polypeptide compound is provided, wherein the polypeptide compound is a compound of formula AI and has the following structure:
[0006] H-Tyr 1 -Aib 2 -Glu 3 -Gly 4 -Thr 5 -αMePhe 6 -Thr 7 -Ser 8 -Asp 9 -Tyr 10 -Aib 11 -Ile 12 -Aib 13 -Leu 14 -Asp 15 -Lys 16 -Gln 17 -Ala 18 -Gln 19 -Ala 20 -Glu 21 -Phe22 -Val 23 -Lys 24 -Trp 25 -Leu 26 -Leu 27 -Lys 28 -Gly 29 -Gly 30 -Pro 31 -Ser 32 -Ser 33 -Gly 34 -Ala 35 -Pro 36 -Pro 37 -Pro 38- Ser 39 -Lys 40 -NH2 formula AI (SEQ ID NO: 12),
[0007] wherein optionally, at any one lysine selected from positions 16, 24, 28 and 40, the side chain ε-amino group is chemically modified via ([2-(2-amino-ethoxy)-ethoxy]-acetyl)a-(γ-Glu)b-CO-(CH2)c-COOH, wherein each a is independently an integer from 0 to 5, each b is independently an integer from 0 to 5, and each c is independently an integer from 10 to 24,
[0008] The dipeptide fragment is selected from the following structures: Gly-Gly, Ile-Aib, Tyr-Aib, Thr-αMePhe and Glu-Gly.
[0009] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a use of a dipeptide fragment in solid-phase synthesis of a polypeptide compound, wherein the dipeptide fragment is selected from the following structures: Gly-Gly, Ile-Aib, Tyr-Aib, Thr-αMePhe and Glu-Gly, and the polypeptide compound is a compound of formula AI and has the following structure:
[0010] H-Tyr 1 -Aib 2 -Glu 3 -Gly 4 -Thr 5 -αMePhe 6 -Thr 7 -Ser 8 -Asp 9 -Tyr 10 -Aib 11 -Ile 12 -Aib13 -Leu 14 -Asp 15 -Lys 16 -Gln 17 -Ala 18 -Gln 19 -Ala 20 -Glu 21 -Phe 22 -Val 23 -Lys 24 -Trp 25 -Leu 26 -Leu 27 -Lys 28 -Gly 29 -Gly 30 -Pro 31 -Ser 32 -Ser 33 -Gly 34 -Ala 35 -Pro 36 -Pro 37 -Pro 38- Ser 39 -Lys 40 -NH2 formula AI (SEQ ID NO: 12),
[0011] Optionally, at any one lysine selected from positions 16, 24, 28 and 40, the side chain ε-amino group is chemically modified via ([2-(2-amino-ethoxy)-ethoxy]-acetyl)a-(γ-Glu)b-CO-(CH2)c-COOH, wherein each a is independently an integer from 0 to 5, each b is independently an integer from 0 to 5, and each c is independently an integer from 10 to 24.
[0012] Compared with solid-phase condensation coupling using individual amino acids one by one, the present invention uses specific dipeptide fragments for segmented coupling, circumventing difficult sites with low yields and difficult synthesis, reducing amino acid racemization and side reactions, and improving the synthesis yield, with a final yield of up to about 10-about 32%. At the same time, the purity of the crude product and the purity of the pure product of the polypeptide synthesized according to the method of the present invention are both improved, and the purity of the pure product can reach about 94.9-about 99.57%. Moreover, the method of the present invention can achieve stable scale-up production without sacrificing the final yield. For example, the method of the present invention can stably pass multiple batches of verification such as small test batches, pilot batches, toxicology batches, engineering batches, and GMP batches without sacrificing the final yield and crude product purity. It can also be stably scaled up from a 10 mmol laboratory scale to a 50 mmol-300 mmol large-scale production without sacrificing the final yield and crude product purity.
[0013] Compared to the sequential solid-phase synthesis method, which links amino acids 1 to 40 one by one from the C-terminus, the method of the present invention significantly improves the final yield. Compared to the solid-phase synthesis method, which first synthesizes a large fragment containing amino acids 1 to 14 from the C-terminus and then links amino acids 15 to 40 one by one, the large-fragment synthesis method requires a larger amount of fragment (e.g., 4 molar equivalents). The method of the present invention does not require excessive amounts of individual amino acid and dipeptide fragments, thus reducing production costs and improving the final yield.

[0085] The dipeptide fragment is selected from the following structures: Gly-Gly, Ile-Aib, Tyr-Aib, Thr-αMePhe and Glu-Gly.
[0086] In some embodiments, the method for solid phase synthesis of a polypeptide compound using a dipeptide fragment comprises:
[0087] The peptide chain of the formula AI polypeptide compound is prepared by a dipeptide fragment solid phase synthesis method, and
[0088] Then, at lysine 24, the acetyl group was synthesized via ([2-(2-amino-ethoxy)-ethoxy]-acetyl)3-(γ-Glu)1-CO-(CH2) 20 -COOH was chemically modified with the side chain ε-amino group to obtain polypeptide compound P016.
[0089] [Synthesis of peptide chains of polypeptide compounds]
[0090] Solid-phase synthesis methods commonly used to synthesize polypeptide compounds can be used to prepare the polypeptide compounds of Formula AI of the present invention. In the polypeptide solid-phase synthesis method, single amino acids are used as building blocks to construct polypeptide compounds. The C-terminal amino acid of the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound to be connected is pre-amino-protected. The carboxyl group of the amino-protected C amino acid is connected to an insoluble resin support via an appropriate linker. The amino-protecting group is then removed and the peptide is condensed and coupled with an excess of the second amino acid from the C-terminus that has its carboxyl group activated and amino-protected to form a peptide bond (i.e., an amide bond). The condensation coupling of amino acids is repeated in this manner until the desired length of the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound to be synthesized is achieved. An appropriate reagent is then selected to cleave the product from the support resin. The product is then separated and purified by filtration and washing to obtain the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound of Formula AI.
[0091] [Protective Group]
[0092] To achieve controlled synthesis of peptide compounds, it is necessary to protect functional groups on amino acids that are not expected to undergo condensation coupling, such as the free amino group (-NH2) of the amino acid to be linked and polar groups on the side chain (e.g., amino-NH2, carboxyl-COOH, hydroxyl-OH). Free amino groups refer to nitrogen atoms that are not forming amide bonds, including primary amino groups (-NH2) and secondary amino groups (-NH-).
[0093] Protective groups commonly used in solid-phase synthesis of polypeptides can be used in the present invention, as long as they do not affect the stepwise coupling solid-phase synthesis method of the present invention.
[0094] Amino-protecting groups useful in the present invention include hydrocarbonoxycarbonyl groups, such as alkoxycarbonyl groups (e.g., tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc)), alkenyloxycarbonyl groups (e.g., allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc)), aralkyloxycarbonyl groups (e.g., benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc)), silyloxycarbonyl groups (e.g., trimethoxysilylethoxycarbonyl (Teoc)); acyl groups, including carbonyl groups (e.g., phthalimido (Pht), 5,5-dimethyl-cyclohexane-1,3-dione-2-ethylidene (Dde)), sulfonyl groups (e.g., p-toluenesulfonyl (Tos)), haloalkylacyl groups (e.g., trifluoroacetyl (Tfa)); and alkyl groups, including aralkyl groups, such as trityl (Trt), 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl (Dmb), p-methoxybenzyl (Pmb), and benzyl (Bn).
[0095] Hydroxyl protecting groups useful in the present invention include t-butyl tBu.
[0096] Carboxyl protecting groups useful in the present invention include tert-butyloxy OtBu.
[0097] Amide protecting groups useful in the present invention include trityl Trt.
[0098] In some embodiments, lysine Lys uses Boc, Mtt, Alloc, or Dde as a side chain ε-amino protecting group, tryptophan Trp uses Boc as a side chain amino protecting group, serine Ser uses tBu as a side chain hydroxyl protecting group, tyrosine Tyr uses tBu as a side chain hydroxyl protecting group, threonine Thr uses tBu as a side chain hydroxyl protecting group, aspartic acid Asp uses tert-butyloxy OtBu as a side chain carboxyl protecting group, glutamic acid Glu uses tert-butyloxy OtBu as a side chain carboxyl protecting group, and / or glutamine Gln uses Trt as a side chain amide protecting group. Glu(γ-OtBu) indicates that a tert-butyloxy group is attached to the γ-carboxyl group of glutamic acid and is used in the peptide chain synthesis of the polypeptide compound of formula AI; Glu(α-OtBu) indicates that a tert-butyloxy group is attached to the α-carboxyl group of glutamic acid and is used to modify the side chain ε-amino group of lysine.
[0099] In some embodiments, for the lysine at positions 16, 24, 28, and 40, the lysine to be chemically modified with the side chain ε-amino group uses Mtt, Alloc, or Dde as the side chain ε-amino protecting group, and the lysine not to be chemically modified with the side chain ε-amino group uses Boc as the side chain ε-amino protecting group.
[0100] In some embodiments, for the lysine at positions 16, 24, 28, and 40, the lysine to be chemically modified with the side chain ε-amino group uses Mtt as the side chain ε-amino protecting group, and the lysine not to be chemically modified with the side chain ε-amino group uses Boc as the side chain ε-amino protecting group.
[0101] In some embodiments, Mtt is used as the side chain ε-amino protecting group for lysine at position 24, and Boc is used as the side chain ε-amino protecting group for lysine at positions 16, 28, and 40.
[0102] Table 1 Protective groups that can be used in the present invention
[0103] Note: The dot “·” in the protecting group structural formula represents the connection site between the protecting group and the protected group of the amino acid.
[0104] The Boc solid phase synthesis method in which the α-amino group is protected with a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group, the Fmoc solid phase synthesis method in which the α-amino group is protected with a 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group, and a combination of the Boc solid phase synthesis method and the Fmoc solid phase synthesis method can all be used in the present invention.
[0105] Taking the Fmoc solid-phase synthesis method as an example, the peptide chain of the formula AI polypeptide compound can be prepared as shown in the reaction scheme below.
[0106] As shown above, according to the Fmoc solid-phase synthesis method, a C-terminal amino acid with an Fmoc-protected α-amino group is coupled to a resin support via a linker, and the Fmoc protecting group of the C-terminal amino acid attached to the resin is removed. Starting from the rightmost C-terminus of the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound and moving toward the leftmost N-terminus, single amino acids and dipeptide fragments are sequentially connected, wherein the carboxyl group of the amino acid to be connected is condensed with the amino group of the amino acid to be connected, wherein the amino acid to be connected has a carboxyl group to be coupled and an Fmoc-protected amino group.
[0107] In some embodiments, when preparing the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound of formula AI, the C-terminal amino acid (i.e., lysine K at position 40) protected by Fmoc is 40 ) is coupled with the resin support through a linker to obtain Fmoc-K 40 (ε amino protecting group)-linker-resin. Then, K 40 The α-amino group of K was removed by Fmoc protection to obtain 40 (ε amino protecting group)-linker-resin. The second amino acid from the C-terminus (i.e., the amino acid to be connected, Serine S at position 39) with α-amino protected by Fmoc was added. 39 ) carboxyl group and K 40 (εamino protecting group)-linker-resin K 40 (i.e., the amino group of the amino acid to be connected) is coupled to obtain Fmoc-S 39 (Hydroxy Protecting Group)-K 40 (ε amino protecting group)-linker-resin. In this way, starting from the rightmost C-terminus of the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound and moving toward the leftmost N-terminus, i.e., along the direction from amino acid position 40 to amino acid position 1 (C-40→N-01), single amino acids and dipeptide fragments are sequentially condensed to obtain the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound of formula AI.
[0108] Formula AI (SEQ ID NO: 1).
[0109] In the Boc solid phase synthesis method, the reaction route is similar, and the main difference is that the Fmoc protecting group used in the Fmoc solid phase synthesis method is replaced by a Boc protecting group.

[0114] In some embodiments, according to the dipeptide fragment solid-phase synthesis method of the present invention, the polypeptide compound of Formula AI can be divided into six dipeptide fragments and then coupled with 28 single amino acid fragments for a 6+28-fragment coupling. Specifically, amino acids 1-14 are divided into nine fragments, and amino acids 15-40 are divided into 25 fragments. Each dipeptide fragment is sequentially linked to the single amino acid fragment from the C-terminus to the N-terminus. Compared to the 4+32-fragment coupling described below, the 6+28-fragment coupling can achieve superior final yield and crude product purity.
[0115] In some embodiments, the amino acids 1-14 of the formula AI polypeptide compound can be divided into 9 fragments for coupling, specifically the dipeptide fragments Tyr-Aib, Glu-Gly, Thr-αMePhe, Tyr-Aib and Ile-Aib, and 4 single amino acid fragments other than these 5 dipeptide fragments; and the amino acids 15-40 can be divided into 25 fragments for coupling, specifically the dipeptide fragment Gly-Gly, and 24 single amino acids other than this 1 dipeptide fragment, and each dipeptide fragment is coupled one by one with each single amino acid fragment in the order from C-terminus to N-terminus.
[0116] In some embodiments, according to the dipeptide fragment solid-phase synthesis method of the present invention, the polypeptide compound of Formula AI can be divided into four dipeptide fragments and then coupled with 32 single amino acid fragments for 4+32 fragment coupling.

[0118] In some embodiments, in the step of preparing the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound of formula AI, the peptide chain is divided into the following 6 fragments: Tyr 1 -Aib 2 Glu 3 -Gly 4 、Thr 5 -αMePhe 6 、Tyr 10 -Aib 11 、Ile 12 -Aib 13 、Gly 29 -Gly 30 , and the following 28 sites except these 6 fragments are coupled with single amino acids: Thr 7 、Ser 8 、Asp 9 、Leu 14 、Asp 15 、Lys 16 、Gln 17 、Ala 18 、Gln 19 、Ala 20 Glu 21 、Phe 22 、Val 23 、Lys 24 Trp 25 、Leu 26 、Leu 27 、Lys 28 、Pro 31 、Ser 32 、Ser 33 、Gly 34 、Ala 35 、Pro 36 、Pro 37 、Pro 38 、Ser 39 and Lys 40 .
[0119] In some embodiments, in the step of preparing the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound of formula AI, the peptide chain is divided into the following four fragments: Tyr 1 -Aib 2 、Tyr 10 -Aib 11 、Ile 12 -Aib 13 、Gly 29 -Gly 30 , and coupled with single amino acids at the following 32 sites except these 4 fragments: Glu 3 、Gly 4 、Thr 5 、αMePhe 6 、Thr 7 、Ser 8 、Asp 9 、Leu 14 、Asp 15 、Lys 16 、Gln 17 、Ala 18 、Gln 19 、Ala 20 Glu 21 、Phe 22 、Val 23 、Lys 24 Trp 25 、Leu 26 、Leu 27 、Lys 28 、Pro 31 、Ser 32 、Ser 33 、Gly 34 、Ala 35 、Pro 36 、Pro 37 、Pro 38 、Ser 39 and Lys 40 .
[0120] In some embodiments, the free amino group of the dipeptide fragment, in particular the free α-amino group, has an Fmoc protecting group, or has a Boc protecting group, or has both an Fmoc protecting group and a Boc protecting group. The free α-amino group of the dipeptide fragment refers to the α-position nitrogen atom of the dipeptide fragment that does not form an amide bond, including primary amino groups -NH2 and secondary amino groups -NH-.
[0121] In some embodiments, the dipeptide fragment having an Fmoc protecting group is selected from the group consisting of: Fmoc-Gly-Gly-OH, Fmoc-Ile-Aib-OH, Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-Aib-OH, Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-αMePhe-OH and Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-Gly-OH.

[0126] In some embodiments, in the step of preparing the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound of formula AI, the dipeptide fragment having both Fmoc protecting group and Boc protecting group is Boc-Tyr 1 (tBu)-Aib 2 -OH, Fmoc-Glu 3 (OtBu)-Gly 4 -OH, Fmoc-Thr 5 (tBu)-αMePhe 6 -OH, Fmoc-Gly29 -Gly 30 -OH, Fmoc-Tyr 10 (tBu)-Aib 11 -OH and Fmoc-Ile 12 -Aib 13 -OH. The last amino acid to be added is Tyr 1 The Boc protecting group is connected to the amino group -NH2 of the peptide, which increases the stability of the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound of formula AI compared to the case of connecting Fmoc.
[0127] According to the present invention, when preparing the peptide chain of the formula AI polypeptide compound, starting from the rightmost C-terminus of the peptide chain and toward the leftmost N-terminus, that is, along the direction from the 40th amino acid to the 1st amino acid (C-40→N-01), the following dipeptide fragments and single amino acids are sequentially condensed (6+28 fragment coupling): Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-Pro-OH, Fmoc-Pro-OH, Fmoc-Pro-OH, Fmoc-Ala-OH.H2O, Fmoc-Gly-OH, Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-Pro-OH, Fmoc-Gly-Gly-OH, Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, Fmoc-Leu-OH, Fmoc-Leu-OH, Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH, Fmoc -Lys(Mtt)-OH, Fmoc-Val-OH, Fmoc-Phe-OH, Fmoc-Glu(γ-OtBu)-OH, Fmoc-Ala-OH.H2O, Fmoc-Gln (Trt)-OH, Fmoc-Ala-OH.H2O, Fmoc-Gln(Trt)-OH, Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH, Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH, Fmoc- Leu-OH, Fmoc-Ile-Aib-OH, Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-Aib-OH, Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH, Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH, Fmo c-Thr(tBu)-OH, Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-αMePhe-OH, Fmoc-Glu(γ-OtBu)-Gly-OH, Boc-Tyr(tBu)-Aib-OH.

[0129] [Lysine side chain ε-amino modification]
[0130] In some embodiments, in addition to preparing the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound of Formula AI by dipeptide fragment solid phase synthesis, the side chain ε-amino group of lysine is also modified.
[0131] In some embodiments, after the peptide chain of the polypeptide compound of Formula AI is prepared by a dipeptide fragment solid phase synthesis method, the side chain ε-amino group of lysine is further modified.
[0132] In some embodiments, the side chain ε-amino modification of lysine comprises chemical modification of the side chain ε-amino group at any one lysine selected from positions 16, 24, 28 and 40 via ([2-(2-amino-ethoxy)-ethoxy]-acetyl)a-(γ-Glu)b-CO-(CH2)c-COOH, wherein each a is independently an integer from 0 to 5, each b is independently an integer from 0 to 5, and each c is independently an integer from 10 to 24.
[0133] In some embodiments, the modification of the ε-amino group of the lysine side chain comprises:

Preferably, Mtt is used as the protecting group for the ε-amino group of the lysine side chain because, compared with the case where Alloc or Dde is used as the lysine side chain ε-amino protecting group, Mtt as the protecting group for the lysine side chain ε-amino group can increase the final yield of the polypeptide compound of formula AI while maintaining a crude product purity comparable to that when Alloc or Dde is used.
[0135] In some embodiments, 2-(2-amino-ethoxy)-ethoxy]-acetyl is linked by using Fmoc-AEEA-OH, γ-Glu is linked by using Fmoc-Glu(α-OtBu)-OH, and -OC-(CH2)c-COOtBu is linked by using HOOC-(CH2)c-COOtBu, which is converted to -OC-(CH2)c-COOtBu by post-treatment.

[0150] [Reaction conditions for solid phase synthesis]
[0151] Before starting to prepare the peptide chain, the C-terminal amino acid is first linked to a resin as a support via its carbonyl group. The resin that can be used in the present invention is not particularly limited, as long as it has the ability to bind to reactive carbonyl groups and is insensitive to the reagents and reaction conditions of the stepwise condensation coupling and deprotection reactions. Examples of such resins include amino-type resins, such as MBHA resin and Sieber resin; halomethyl resins, such as chloromethyl resins, especially chloromethyl-polystyrene-divinylbenzene polymers, and bromomethyl resins; hydroxymethyl resins; phenol resins; tert-butoxy-carbonyl hydrazide resins; and cross-linked poly-N-acryloyl-pyridine resins.
[0152] In some embodiments, the resin is an amino-type resin, such as MBHA resin and Sieber Resin.
[0153] In some embodiments, the resin has a low substitution value, preferably a substitution value of less than about 5 mmol / g, more preferably a substitution value of less than about 2 mmol / g, even more preferably a substitution value of less than about 1 mmol / g, still more preferably a substitution value of less than about 0.6 mmol / g, or more preferably a substitution value of about 0.3 to about 0.65 mmol / g.
[0154] In some embodiments, swelling of the resin is performed prior to attachment of the C-terminal amino acid to the resin support.
[0155] The swollen resin has a larger network space, allowing the reagent molecules to enter the resin to react with the functional groups and accommodate the growing peptide chain. Optional swelling agents include the following organic solvents: dichloromethane (DCM), LDCM, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), 2-isopropylethylamine (DIEA), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), or any combination thereof, such as DIEA / DCM.
[0156] In some embodiments, optional coupling agents (i.e., condensing agents) include: N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), 1-hydroxy-7-azobenzotriazole (HOAt), 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), 6-chloro-1-hydroxybenzotriazole (Cl-HOBt), or any combination thereof.
[0157] In some embodiments, the coupling agent is optionally used in combination with a suitable solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), for example, in the form of a combination of DIC / HOBt, HOBt / DMF, DIC / HOAt, HBTU / Cl-HOBt, DMF / DIC / HOBt, DMF / DCM / DIC / HOBt.
[0158] In some embodiments, the condensation temperature is 5±5°C to 28±5°C, preferably 10±5°C to 25±5, for example 0-33°C, including both endpoints and any value and subrange within the range of 0-33°C, for example 0°C, 5°C, 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 23°C, 30°C or 33°C.
[0159] In some embodiments, the condensing agent is used in an amount of about 2.0 to about 4.0 molar equivalents relative to the amount of each amino acid or dipeptide to be linked.
[0160] In some embodiments, the deprotecting agent comprises piperidine (PIP), hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), or a combination thereof.
[0161] In some of the described protocols, the deprotecting agent is optionally used in combination with a suitable solvent (eg, DMF or DCM), for example, in the form of a combination of PIP / DMF or HFIP / DCM.
[0162] In some embodiments, after modification of the ε-amino group of the side chain of lysine, post-treatment is further performed, including resin cleavage, product purification and lyophilization, to obtain a pure polypeptide compound.
[0163] In some embodiments, the cracking agent includes trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT), triisopropylsilane (TIS), DODT, phenol (ArOH), MPR, ArSCH3, or any combination thereof; preferably, a cracking system based on TFA, wherein the cracking system based on TFA means that the volume ratio of TFA is about 80-about 95 vol%, and the volume ratio of EDT, TIS, DODT, ArOH, MPR and / or ArSCH3 is about 1-about 10 vol%, with H2O making up the balance. For example,

[0165] TFA:H2O:DODT:TIS=approximately 94.0:2.0:2.0:2.0(V:V:V:V)
[0166] TFA:H2O:EDT:TIS:ArOH=about 92.0:2.0:2.0:2.0:2.0(V:V:V:V:V)
[0167] TFA:H2O:TIS:EDT:ArOH:ArSCH3=approximately 81.5:5:1:2.5:5:5(V:V:V:V:V:V)
[0168] TFA:TIS:H2O:MPR=approximately 94:2.5:2.5:1(V:V:V:V)
[0169] TFA:H2O:EDT:TIS:ArOH=about 86.5:5:2.5:1:5(V:V:V:V:V);
[0170] Preferably, for example,
[0171] TFA:H2O:EDT:TIS:ArOH=about 92.0:2.0:2.0:2.0:2.0(V:V:V:V:V)
[0172] TFA:H2O:TIS:EDT:ArOH:ArSCH3=about 81.5:5:1:2.5:5:5(V:V:V:V:V:V);
[0173] TFA:H2O:TIS:ArOH:ArSCH3=about 84:5:1:5:5(V:V:V:V:V),
[0174] Where V represents the volume ratio.
[0175] In some embodiments, the dried polypeptide compound-resin is cut with a TFA cracking system, then filtered, concentrated, precipitated, and filtered to obtain a cracked intermediate of the polypeptide compound AI with the resin carrier removed; then purified and separated by HPLC, the components collected, classified, salt exchanged, and concentrated to obtain a purified intermediate of the polypeptide compound AI, which was then freeze-dried to obtain the polypeptide compound AI.
[0176] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the reaction reagents, such as swelling agents, condensing agents, deprotecting agents, cleavage agents, and solvents, can be matched, mixed, and diluted according to methods commonly used in the art.

[0233] [Example 6] Dipeptide Fragment Synthesis (6+28 Fragment Coupling)
[0234] The polypeptide compound P016 was prepared in a similar manner to that of Example 1, except that Dde was used as the ε-amino protecting group of lysine at position 24 instead of Mtt in Example 1.
[0235] [Example 7] Dipeptide Fragment Synthesis (6+28 Fragment Coupling)
[0236] The polypeptide compound P016 was prepared by a method similar to that of Example 1, except that after the fragments were coupled to form a peptide chain, the side chain modification portion COOH-(CH2) was first formed. 20 -COO-tBu-Glu(αOtBu)-AEEA-AEEA-AEEA, and then modify the side chain part COOH-(CH2) 20 -COO-tBu-Glu(αOtBu)-AEEA-AEEA-AEEA as a whole was directly coupled to the ε-amino group of lysine at position 24 of the peptide chain.
[0237] The preparation methods and product test results of the polypeptide compound P016 of Examples 1 to 6 are recorded in Table 4 below.
[0238] In Table 4 above, the synthesis yield is calculated by dividing the molar weight of crude P016 by the molar weight of resin. The molar weight of crude P016 is calculated by dividing the mass of crude P016 by the molecular weight of P016, 5198.4. Because crude P016 contains impurities, the synthesis yield may exceed 100%.
[0239] Crude purity refers to the purity of the crude cleavage product.
[0240] The final yield was calculated by dividing the molar weight of the pure peptide P016 after HPLC purification by the molar weight of the resin. The molar weight of the pure peptide P016 was the mass of the pure peptide P016 divided by the molecular weight of P016, 5198.4.
[0241] In Table 4 above, 15←28 refers to coupling from amino acid 28 to amino acid 15 one by one; 31←40 refers to coupling from amino acid 40 to amino acid 31 one by one; 15←40 refers to coupling from amino acid 40 to amino acid 15 one by one; 1←40 refers to coupling from amino acid 40 to amino acid 1 one by one; 1-14 refers to amino acid 1 to amino acid 14 as a whole as a fragment; 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 10-11, 12-13, and 29-30 are dipeptide fragments.
[0242] In the dipeptide fragment synthesis method (6+28 fragment coupling) of Example 1, the peptide chain is first synthesized, and then the side chain ε-amino group of lysine at position 24 is modified. In the peptide chain synthesis, Tyr 1 -Aib 2 Glu 3 -Gly 4 、Thr 5 -αMePhe 6 、Tyr 10 -Aib 11 、Ile 12 -Aib 13、Gly 29 -Gly 30 There are a total of six dipeptide fragments, and Mtt is used to protect the side chain ε-amino group of lysine at position 24, while achieving excellent final yield and crude purity of the polypeptide compound. As can be seen from Table 4 above, Example 2 adopts a one-by-one synthesis method, Example 4 adopts a large fragment condensation method, the fragment synthesis method of Example 3 (4+32 fragment coupling) only uses part of the dipeptide fragment, Example 5 and Example 6 respectively use Alloc and Dde as the side chain ε-amino protecting group of lysine at position 24, and Example 7 first synthesizes the side chain modification part, and then directly couples the side chain modification part to the peptide chain as a whole. The final yields of Examples 2-7 are all significantly lower than the dipeptide fragment synthesis method of Example 1, the crude purity of the polypeptide compound of Example 2 is very low, the crude purity of the polypeptide compound of Examples 3 and 4 is significantly lower than that of Example 1, and the crude purity of the polypeptide compound of Examples 5, 6 and 7 is equivalent to that of Example 1.
[0243] [Example 8] Scale-up experiment of dipeptide fragment synthesis method
[0244] Polypeptide compound P016 was prepared using a method similar to that of Example 1, except that, based on the molar weight of the resin injected, the scale of Example 1 was scaled up from 10 mmol to 50 mmol (pilot batch), 300 mmol (pilot scale batch), and 300 mmol (GMP batch). The test results are reported in Table 5 below. The operating conditions for the pilot scale and GMP batches were essentially the same, with the difference being that the GMP batches were produced in a GMP workshop, requiring more meticulous temperature control and other procedures.
[0245] Table 5 Amplification experiment results
[0246] As can be seen from Table 5 above, the method of the present invention can be stably scaled up to large-scale production of 50 mmol to 300 mmol without sacrificing the final yield and the purity of the pure product.
