Description

A polypeptide compound and its application

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to the following applications:

[0002] Chinese Patent Application No. 202411449910.8, entitled "A polypeptide compound and its application", was filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on October 17, 2024; Chinese Patent Application No. 202511193394.1, entitled "A polypeptide compound and its application", was filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on August 25, 2025; the entire contents of these documents are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of biomedical technology, specifically to a polypeptide compound and such compounds for the treatment and / or prevention of GLP1R / GIPR-mediated diseases and symptoms.

[0004] Background Introduction

[0005] Incretin hormones are hormones that provide glycemic control in response to food intake. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypepide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are the main incretin hormones secreted by L cells and K cells in the small intestine, respectively, upon ingestion of glucose or nutrients, to stimulate insulin secretion from β cells in the pancreas. GIP and GLP-1 undergo degradation via dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) and rapidly lose their biological activity (see, for example, Y. Sieno et al., Journal of Diabetes Investigation 2013, 4, 108-130).

[0006] The effects of GIP and GLP-1 are believed to be mediated by their specific receptors, namely the GIP receptor (GIPR) and the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R), both belonging to the G-protein-coupled receptor family and manifested in pancreatic β-cells as well as various tissues and organs. GLP-1 activity includes, but is not limited to, stimulating insulin synthesis and secretion, inhibiting glucagon secretion, and suppressing food intake. GIP activity includes, but is not limited to, stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion, increasing β-cell clusters, stimulating glucagon secretion, and reducing gastric acid secretion. See, for example, WO 2016 / 131893.

[0007] Peptide compounds are playing an increasingly important role in the pharmaceutical field due to their unique biological activities and therapeutic potential. These compounds offer new strategies for treating a variety of diseases by mimicking or enhancing the functions of natural peptides in the human body. In particular, peptide compounds show broad application prospects in the treatment of diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome.

[0008] In the field of diabetes treatment, peptide compounds such as GLP-1 receptor agonists have been widely used to increase insulin secretion, lower blood glucose, and have shown cardiovascular protective effects. These peptides, by binding to their corresponding receptors, play a crucial role in regulating blood glucose, promoting insulin secretion, protecting pancreatic β-cells, and controlling weight. Through structural optimization strategies, such as introducing non-natural amino acids, introducing long-chain side chains (e.g., fatty acid modification), and polyethylene glycol conversion, the stability and half-life of these peptides have been significantly improved, enabling them to be used in clinical treatment with longer-acting effects. Furthermore, the development of GIP / GLP-1 dual receptor agonists has provided new therapeutic options for improving glucose-lowering effects and promoting weight loss.

[0009] In the field of weight loss, the application of peptide compounds is also noteworthy. By increasing satiety and reducing food intake, they offer new strategies for the treatment of obesity. GIP / GLP-1 dual receptor agonists have shown superior efficacy in weight loss compared to single agonists, providing new treatment options for obese patients.

[0010] Peptide compounds have also shown potential in the treatment of other metabolic diseases. For example, they offer novel strategies for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) by modulating hepatic lipid metabolism and reducing inflammatory responses.

[0011] In the cardiovascular field, the application of peptide compounds is constantly being explored. Some peptides have the effects of lowering blood pressure, preventing atherosclerosis, and improving cardiac function, providing new possibilities for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

[0012] Furthermore, the applications of peptide compounds in neurodegenerative diseases, tumors, and inflammatory diseases are under continuous research. They exhibit anti-tumor activity by targeting tumor cells or modulating the immune system. In inflammatory diseases, peptide compounds alleviate inflammatory responses by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators.

[0013] With a deeper understanding of the structure and function of these peptide compounds, and continuous advancements in drug design and formulation technologies, we can expect to develop more safe, effective, and long-acting therapeutics to meet the clinical needs for treating metabolic diseases. These peptide compounds, possessing dual agonist activity against both the GLP-1 receptor (GLP1R) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide receptor (GIPR), offer new avenues for treating and / or preventing GLP1R / GIPR-mediated diseases and symptoms. Through precise molecular design and optimization, these compounds hold the promise of becoming effective means of treating a variety of diseases, improving patients' quality of life, and bringing revolutionary changes to the pharmaceutical field.

[0254] General methods for synthesizing side chains

[0255] According to typical embodiments of the compounds disclosed herein, synthesis can be performed using the general reaction schemes and / or examples described below. Given the description herein, it is apparent that the general scheme can be modified by substituting the starting materials with other materials having similar structures, thereby producing correspondingly different products. The subsequent synthetic descriptions provide numerous examples illustrating how variations in starting materials can yield corresponding products. Starting materials are typically available from commercial sources or synthesized using published synthetic methods for synthesizing the compounds of the embodiments of this disclosure. The nature of each substituent can be determined by analyzing the structure of the compound to be synthesized, and, in conjunction with the examples herein, the properties of the final product generally clearly indicate the nature of the desired starting material. Group labels (such as R1, R2) used in the reaction schemes herein are for illustrative purposes only and, unless otherwise stated, do not necessarily correspond in name or function to labels used elsewhere to describe formula (I), the compound, or a portion or fragment thereof.

[0256] Synthesis reaction parameters

[0257] The compounds disclosed herein can be prepared using readily available starting materials by, for example, the general methods and procedures described below. It will be understood that, where typical or preferred process conditions (i.e., reaction temperature, time, molar ratio of reactants, solvent, pressure, etc.) are given, other process conditions may be used unless otherwise specified. Optimal reaction conditions may vary depending on the specific reactants or solvents used, but such conditions can be determined by those skilled in the art through conventional optimization procedures.

[0258] Furthermore, conventional protecting groups may be necessary for those skilled in the art to prevent certain functional groups from undergoing undesirable reactions. Protecting groups for various functional groups, as well as suitable conditions for protecting and deprotecting specific functional groups, are well known in the art. For example, many protecting groups are described in TW Greene and GMWuts (1999), Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, Wiley, New York, and the references cited therein.

[0259] Furthermore, the compounds disclosed herein may contain one or more chiral centers. Therefore, such compounds can be prepared or isolated as chiral pure stereoisomers, i.e., as individual enantiomers or diastereomers, or as mixtures enriched with stereoisomers, if desired. Unless otherwise stated, all such stereoisomers (and mixtures enriched with stereoisomers) are included within the scope of this statement. Chiral pure stereoisomers (or mixtures enriched with stereoisomers) can be prepared using, for example, optically active starting materials or stereoselective reagents well known in the art. Additionally, racemic mixtures of such compounds can be separated using, for example, chiral column chromatography, chiral dissociation agents, etc.
