Description
PEPTOIDS AS LIGANDS FOR MELANOCORTIN RECEPTORS
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to peptoids that have binding activity for melanocortin receptors. Background of the Invention
Melanocortins are peptides originally derived from a larger, precursor protein, i.e. pro-opiomelanocortin. Natural melanocortins share the heptapeptide core sequence Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly. The melanocortins include α-MSH (α- melanocyte-stimulating hormone), β-MSH, γ-MSH, γ-LPH (γ-liprotropin hormone) and ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone).
Melanocortins have a wide range of biological activities. They are known to stimulate pigmentation and corticosteroidogenesis, and they have also been shown to induce excessive grooming behaviour in the rat, to stimulate conditioned active avoidance response, to increase blood pressure and heart rate, to accelerate nerve regeneration and to modulate immune responses.
Five neuropeptide receptors for melanocortins have recently been identified and cloned. These receptors have different distribution patterns, both in presence and abundance, over different tissue types. They belong to the family of so-called G-protein-coupled receptors. Melanocortin receptor 1 (MCR-1) is expressed in melanocytes, whereas MCR-2 is the ACTH receptor expressed in, for example, the adrenal gland. Melanocortin receptors 3, 4 and 5 have been found to be expressed in the central nervous system. The cognate ligands of these receptors have profound neuropharmacological effects, such as facilitated arousal, motivation, attention, memory and learning. The ligands have also been implicated in food-motivated behaviour. A relationship with antipyretic activity has also been disclosed.
Many synthetic analogues of melanocortin have been prepared and suggested to have therapeutic utility, by activation or blocking of one or more melanocortin receptors. In general, such analogues lack specificity (selectivity) for the receptors expressed in the nervous system, and/or they lack sufficient binding affinity or capability to induce or block the receptor-mediated response.
Peptides having melanocortin receptor-binding activity, and selectivity for MCR-3, MCR-4 or MCR-5, are described in WO-A-98/27113 and WO-A-99/54358. While active in vitro, these compounds are peptides that are unlikely to have sufficiently long half-life in plasma that they can be of therapeutic use.
Various strategies for rendering peptides resistant to breakdown in vivo are known. These include the use of D-amino acids and N-substituted amino acids, as in peptoids, but such strategies can severely compromise the specificity and efficacy of the compounds. Summary of the Invention
According to the present invention, novel peptoids having binding affinity for a melanocortin receptor, and in particular the MC3, MC4 or MC5 receptor, comprise the amino acid sequence
AA4- AA5- AA6- DAA7- NAA8- NAA9- AA10
wherein AA4 and AA5 are each absent or an amino acid; AA6 is a basic amino acid; DAA7 is a D-amino acid; NAA8 and NAAg are each N-substituted amino acids; and
AA10 is absent or an amino acid. Surprisingly, it has been found that, provided that NAA8 and NAAg, i.e. positions 8 and 9 (referring to the numbering of the amino acids in ACTH), both contain a peptoid building block, a satisfactory degree of potency is retained. In particular, potency is greater than if either position 8 or 9 alone, or position 7, includes a peptoid building block. Description of the Invention
The term "amino acid" is used herein to describe, not only the 20 naturally occurring amino acids, but also derivatives and peptoid analogues thereof. The skilled man will appreciate that, in accordance with the intention behind this invention, i.e. to minimise loss of activity while increasing half-life, minimum values for each criterion should be retained, e.g. at least as good as for any exemplified compound of the invention. It may be expected that two juxtaposed naturally occurring amino acids will make the compound susceptible to hydrolysis; however, the loss of one or more amino acids from the compound may leave an active structure according to the invention.
In general, the structural characteristics of naturally occurring amino acids will be retained, in terms of the peptide backbone and side-chains, whether in a L-, D- or
N-substituted form. Nevertheless, a variety of aromatic residues may be used, e.g. at position 7. F or Cl as a substituent can promote agonist activity; I as a substituent, or
a naphthalene or pentamethylenephenyl residue, can provide enhanced antagonist activity.
The novel compounds are peptoids because the peptide side-chain at positions 8 and 9 at least is on the N atom, rather than the C atom, of the given amino acid in the peptide backbone. Such peptoid (non-chiral) building blocks may also be present at any other position in the compound.
Certain compounds of the invention are preferred. It is preferred that AA4 (if present) is NNIe, Nle or Gly, that AA5 (if present) is Gly or Asp, that AA6 is NHis, NLys, His or Lys, that DAA7 is D-Nal, D-Phe, D-PmP, D-Thi or D-Pyr, that NAA8 is N-Arg, that NNAg is N-Trp or a homologue thereof, that AA10 (if present) is Gly or Lys, and/or that the compound is cyclised. In general, each preferred feature confers on the novel compound enhanced potency, half-life and/or selectivity.
Peptoids of this invention typically comprise at least three or four residues (corresponding to positions 6-9). Peptoids of the invention can be made by standard procedures. The individual amino acids or analogues thereof are known or can be made by known procedures.
By way of explanation, this invention is based on comparison of the properties of a number of peptides/peptoids that have been synthesised; in particular, four peptoids illustrating the invention have been synthesised, using a robotic synthesiser, and are given as SEQ ID NOS: 1-4. These were then tested.
The tests, as well as synthetic procedures, are described in WO-A-98/27113. That publication also describes therapeutic indications that may be associated with the characteristics that are found in various tests, and appropriate compositions and dosage regimens. In general, compounds of this invention have longer half-lives, but they may be less potent and therefore require higher dosages in order to obtain the same therapeutic effect.
