Abstract
Description
A type of RMBL resin and its preparation method and application in solid-phase peptide synthesisTechnical field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid-phase peptide synthesis technology, featuring the preparation of the specially designed RMBL resins, namely a kind of intramolecular acyl transfer linker loaded resins, and its application in solid-phase peptide synthesis.
[0002] Background technology
[0003] Peptides, with great physiological activity and biocompatibility, are an important class of compounds in nature. Peptide drugs have advantages of better safety, reliability and targeting specificity compared to small molecule drugs. Nowadays, solid-phase peptide synthesis strategy has become the main method for peptide synthesis since its invention in 1963, and most common peptide sequences can be efficiently synthesized utilizing this method. Because of the tendency of natural peptides to be degraded by enzymes, thus losing their activity, it has become a research hotspot to improve metabolic stability of peptide drugs. Inspired by the unique structures of cyclic peptide natural products, researchers have developed a variety of strategies to improve stability of peptides, among which cyclization and insertion of unnatural amino acids are the two predominant ones. It has been verified that pharmacokinetic parameters of peptides, namely serum stability, membrane permeability and oral bioavailability, can be significantly enhanced upon introduction of sterically hindered amino acids into the native sequences.
[0004] Sterically hindered amino acids consist of two major categories. The first is N-alkylated amino acids, among which N-methylated amino acids occupies the majority. According to existing researches, reactivity of secondary amines with carboxylic acids is only 1 / 10 to 1 / 100 of that of primary amines, making it challenging to achieve condensation with ideal efficiency under conventional SPPS conditions such as DIC / HATU. The other type isα, α-disubstituted amino acids represented by Aib, Ac3c, Ac5c, etc. Steric hinderance of acyl transfer increases dramatically whenα-C is double substituted, thus decreasing condensation efficiency. Currently, accelerating the formation of sterically hindered amide bonds via generation of more active intermediates is the simplest method to improve condensation efficiency, while limitations still exist. For example, the condensation reagent BTC, which is commonly utilized for construction of N-methyl amide bonds, needs to be dissolved in anhydrous THF, and carboxylic activation process should be conducted at 0℃before the in-situ generated acyl chloride is transferred to the resin for subsequent condensation at room temperature. Severe conditions, poor controllability, demands for low temperatures and multi-step complex operations make it inconducive to industrial production. As a consequence, it’s of great importance to develop a mild, controllable and easy-to-handle strategy for the synthesis of sterically hindered peptides.Summary of the invention
[0005] This invention solves the problem of low condensation efficiency caused by two-phase acyl transfer process in conventional SPPS by developing a new type of intramolecular acyl transfer linker (RMBL) loaded resin. The proposed linker comprises two essential components, respectively a peptide synthesis handle and multiple carboxyl activating sites, allowing acyl transfer to proceed in an intramolecular manner. This invention is applied to solid-phase peptide synthesis, especially for the syntheses of two typical sterically hindered peptide categories. The technical proposal of this invention is presented as follows.
[0006] A kind of intramolecular acyl transfer linker (RMBL) loaded resin, the structure of which comprises two essential components, respectively a peptide synthesis handle and multiple carboxyl activating sites. Structure of the resin is presented in Formula (I) .
[0007] Connecting H to gives AM resin, preferably selected from any one of AM resin, AM PEGA resin and AM PEGMatrix resin. When RMBL needs to be cleaved from the resin: connecting H to gives cleavable resin, preferably selected from any one of Rink resin, HMPA resin and HMPB resin.
[0008] Ribosome-Mimicking Bifunctional Linker (RMBL) refers to a functional group connected to
[0009] R1 can be short PEG chains or short peptides, or be set directly to none. When C-terminus of R1 ends up with-COOH, it can be connected to via amide condensation. When N-terminus of R1 ends up with-NH2, it can be connected to backbone Lys of RMBL via amide condensation. R1 can be preferably selected from any one of the structures below:
[0010] R2 is the peptide anchoring point, preferably selected from any one of the structures below:
[0011] R3 is an activating reagent analogs-containing fragment. When C-terminus of R3 is-COOH, it can be connected to backbone Lys of RMBL, andβ-Ala can be inserted as spacers before connection of activators. R3 is preferably selected from any one of the structures below:
[0012] Brief synthetic route of the intramolecular acyl transfer linker loaded resin (RMBL resin) is presented as below:
[0013] Preferably, a specific synthetic route of the intramolecular acyl transfer linker loaded resin (RMBL resin) is presented as below:
[0014] (1) The resin is selected as the starting material. After pre-swelling, R1 is connected to it to afford compound 1.
[0015] (2) Fmoc of compound 1 is removed, followed by connection of Fmoc-Lys (Mtt) -OH to it to afford compound 2.
[0016] (3) Fmoc of compound 3 is removed, followed by connection of Fmoc-Lys (Fmoc) -OH to it to afford compound 3.
[0017] (4) Fmoc of compound 3 is removed, followed by connection of R3 to it to afford compound 4.
[0018] (5) Mtt of compound 4 is removed, followed by connection of R2 to it to afford RMBL resin.
[0019] Average amino substitution degree of RMBL resin measured by amino substitution degree determination method is 0.27~0.39 mmol / g.
[0020] Preferably, resin with R3=-β-Ala-Lys (Lys- (-β-Ala-HOBt-C) 2) 2 is named as HOBt RMBL resin, and resin with R3=-β-Ala-Lys (Lys- (-β-Ala-Oxyma-C) 2) 2 is named as Oxyma RMBL resin.
[0021] RMBL resins mentioned above are applicable to solid-phase peptide synthesis.
[0022] Synthetic route of peptides utilizing HOBt / Oxyma RMBL resins developed in this invention is presented as below:
[0023] n represents the number of amino acids in the peptide, n>1; Rn represents side chain R group of the nth amino acid, and Rn-1 represents side chain R group of the (n-1) th amino acid.
[0024] Preferably, peptides to be synthesized can be common peptides, model peptides containing N-methyl orα, α-disubstituted amino acids, and natural products of sterically hindered peptides and their derivatives.
[0025] Compared to current peptide synthesis technologies, this innovation has following advantages:
[0026] The intramolecular acyl transfer linker (RMBL) loaded resin (namely RMBL resin) developed in this invention can be directly applied to solid-phase peptide synthesis using standard operating methods. In each coupling cycle, no additional activating reagent is required except for DIC. Acyl transfer process is launched on resin via an intramolecular mechanism, which makes condensation efficiency much higher than that of conventional methods, especially for the two aforementioned categories of sterically hindered peptides. Reagents involved in the whole peptide synthesis procedure do not require anhydrous treatment and the operating protocol is compatible with various experimental conditions. Most peptides can be synthesized with high purity under mild conditions at room temperature when the reaction time is set to 2 h per aa.
