Description

CA 02226l77 l997-l2-30 W O 97/02834 PCTrUS96/11292 ANALOGS OF PARATHYROID HORNONE

Backqround of the Invention n Parathyroid hormone ("PTH") is a polypeptide 5 produced by the parathyroid glands. The mature circulating form of the hormone is comprised of 84 amino acid residues. The biological action of PTH can be reproduced by a peptide fragment of its N-terminus (e.g.
amino acid residues 1 through 34). Parathyroid hormone-10 related protein ("PTHrP") is a 139 to 173 aminoacid-protein with N-terminal homology to PTH. PTHrP
shares many of the biological effects of PTH including binding to a common PTH/PTHrP receptor. Tregear, et al., Endocrinol., 93:1349 (1983). PTH peptides from many 15 different sources, e.g., human, bovine, rat, chicken, have been characterized. Nissenson, et al., Receptor, 3:193 (1993).
PTH has been shown to both improve bone mass and quality. Dempster, et al., Endocrine Rev., 14:690 (1993); and Riggs, Amer. J. Med., 91 (Suppl. 5B):37S
(1991). The anabolic effect of intermittently a~m;n;~tered PTH has been observed in osteoporotic men and women either with or without concurrent antiresorptive therapy. Slovik, et al., J. Bone Miner.
25 Res., 1:377 (1986); Reeve, et al., Br. Med. J., 301:314 (1990); and Hesch, R-D., et al., Calcif. Tissue Int'l, 44:176 (1989).

Detailed Description of the Invention Based on the description herein, the present invention can be utilized to its fullest extent. The following specific examples are to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limitative of the remainder of the 30 disclosure in any way whatsoever. Further, all publications cited herein are incorporated by reference.
Structure PTH(1-34) has been reported to have two amphophilic alpha helical dom~;n~ See, e.g., Barden, et W O 97/02834 PCTrUS96/11292 al., Biochem., 32:7126 (1992). The first ~-helix is formed between amino acid residues 4 through 13, while the second ~-helix is formed between amino acid residues 21 through 29. Some peptides of this invention contain - 5 the substitution of Cha for one or more residues within or near these two regions of PTH(1-34), e.g., Cha7 and Cha11 within the first ~-helix or Cha27 and Cha23 within the second ~-helix.
Also covered by this invention are variants of lo PTH(1-34) with the substitution of Aib for a residue adjacent to the ~-helixes, e.g., Aib16, Aib19, and Aib34;
hArg27 and Nle31, or the substitution of Dpa for the N-terminal residue.

Svnthesis The peptides of the invention can be prepared by standard solid phase synthesis. See, e.g., Stewart, J.M., et al., Solid Phase Synthesis (Pierce Chemical Co., 2d ed. 1984). The following is a description of how [Aib34]hPTH(1-34)NH2 was prepared. Other peptides of the 20 invention can be prepared in an analogous manner by a person of ordinary skill in the art.
The peptide was synthesized on an Applied Biosystems (Foster City, CA) model 430A peptide synthesizer which was modified to do accelerated Boc-25 chemistry solid phase peptide synthesis. See Schnoize,et al., Int. J. Peptide Protein Res., 90:180 (1992). 4-Methylbenz-hydrylamine (MBHA) resin (Peninsula, Belmont, CA) with the substitution of 0.93 mmol/g was used. The Boc amino acids (Bachem, CA, Torrance, CA; Nova Biochem., 30 LaJolla, CA) were used with the following side chain protection: Boc-Arg(Tos)-OH, Boc-Asp(OcHxl)-OH, Boc-Asn(Xan)-OH, Boc-Glu(OcHxl)-OH, Boc-His(DNP)-OH, Boc-Asn-GH, Boc-Val-OH, Boc-Leu-OH, Boc-Ser-OH, Boc-Gly-OH, Boc-Met-OH, Boc-Gln-OH, Boc-Ile-OH, Boc-Lys(ZClZ)-OH, Boc-CA 02226l77 l997-l2-30 W 097/02834 PCTrUS96/11292 Ser(Bzl)-OH, and Boc-Trp(Fm)-OH. The synthesis was carried out on a 0.14 mmol scale. The Boc groups were removed by treatment with 100% TFA for 2 x 1 min. Boc amino acids (2.5 mmol) were pre-activated with HBTU (2.0 mmol) and DI~A (l.o mL) in 4 mL of DMF and were coupled without prior neutralization o~ the peptide--resin TFA
salt. Coupling times were 5 min except for the Boc-Aib-OH and the following residue, Boc-Asn(Xan)-OH, wherein the coupling times were 20 min.
At the end of the assembly of the peptide chain, the resin was treated with a solution of 20%
mercaptoethanol/10% DIEA in DMF for 2 x 30 min. to remove the DNP group on the His side chain. The N-terminal Boc group was then removed by treatment with 100% TFA for 2 x 15 Z min. After neutralization of the peptide-resin with 10% DIEA in DMF (1 x 1 min.), the formyl group on the side chain of Trp was removed by treatment with a solution of 15% ethanolamine/15% water/70% DMF for 2 x 30 min. The partially-deprotected peptide-resin was washed 20 with DMF and DCM and dried under reduced pressure. The final cleavage was done by stirring the peptide-resin in 10 mL of HF containing 1 mL of anisole at 0~C for 75 min.
HF was removed by a flow of nitrogen. The residue was washed with ether (6 x 10 mL) and extracted with 4N HOAc (6 x 10 mL).
The peptide mixture in the aqueous extract was purified on a reversed-phase preparative high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a reversed phase Vydac~ C18 column (Nest Group, Southborough, MA). The 30 column was eluted with a linear gradient (10% to 45% of solution B over 130 min.) at a flow rate of 10 mL/min (Solution A = 0.1% agueous TFA; Solution B = acetonitile contA;n;ng 0.1% of TFA). Fractions were collected and checked on analytical HPLC. Those contA; n; ng pure 35 product were combined and lyophilized to dryness. 62.3 W O 97/02834 PCTrUS96/11292 mg of a white solid was obtained. Purity was >99~ based on analytical HPLC analysis. Electro-spray mass spectrometer analysis gave the molecular weight at 4054.7 (in agreement with the calculated molecular weight of 5 4054-7)-- The synthesis and purification of [Cha7~11]hPTH
(1-34)NH2 was carried out in the same manner as the above synthesis of [Aib34]hPTH(1-34)NH2. The protected amino acid Boc-Cha-OH was purchased from Bachem, CA. The o purity of the final product was >98%, and the electron-spray mass spectrometer gave the molecular weight at 4197.0 (calculated molecular weight is 4196.9).
The full names for the abbreviations used above are as follows: Boc for t-butyloxycarbonyl, HF for hydrogen fluoride, Fm for formyl, Xan for xanthyl, Bzl for benzyl, Tos for tosyl, DNP for 2,4-dinitrophenyl, DMF
for dimethylformamide, DCM for dichloromethane, HBTU for 2-(lH-Benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl uronium hexafluorophosphate, DIEA for diisopropylethylamine, HOAc for acetic acid, TFA for trifluoroacetic acid, 2ClZ for 2-chlorobenzyloxycarbonyl and OcHxl for O-cyclohexyl.
The substituents R1 and R2 ~f the above generic formula may be attached to the free amine of the N-terminal amino acid by standard methods known in the art.
For example, alkyl groups, e.g., C1_12 alkyl, may be attached using reductive alkylation. Hydroxyalkyl groups, e.g., C1_12 hydroxyalkyl, may also be attached using reductive alkylation wherein the free hydroxy group is protected 30 with a t-butyl ester. Acyl groups, e.g., COEl, may be attached by coupling the free acid, e.g., E1COOH, to the free amine of the N-terminal amino acid by m i~;ng the - completed resin with 3 molar equivalents of both the free acid and diisopropylcarbodiimide in methylene chloride r 35 for one hour and cycling the resulting resin through steps (a) to (f) in the above wash program. If the free acid contains a free hydroxy group, e.g., p-CA 02226l77 l997-l2-30 hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, then the coupling should be performed with an additional 3 molar equivalents of HOBT.
Other peptides of this invention can be prepared in an analogous manner by a person of ordinary skill in 5 the art.

Functional Assays A. Binding to PTH Receptor The peptides of the invention were tested for their ability to bind to the PTH receptor present on lo SaOS-2 (human osteosarcoma cells). SaOS-2 cells (American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD; ATCC
#HTB 85) were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium (Sigma, St.
Louis, MO) supplemented with 10~ fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 2 mM glutamine at 37~C in a humidified atmosphere of 15 5% CO2 in air. The medium was changed every three or four days, and the cells were subcultured every week by trypsinization.
SaOS-2 cells were maintained for four days until they had reached confluence. The medium was replaced 20 with 5~ FBS in RPMI 1640 medium and incubated for 2 hrs at room temperature with 10 x 104 cpm mono-l25I-[Nle8~l8, Tyr34(3-125I)] bPTH(1-34)NH2 in the presence of a competing peptides of the invention at various concentrations between 10-1lM to 10-4 M. The cells were 25 washed four times with ice-cold PBS and lysed with 0.1 M
NaOH, and the radioactivity associated with the cells was counted in a scintillation counter. Synthesis of mono-3 18 T 34(3-l25I)] bPTH(1-34)NH2 was c as described in Goldman, M.E., et al., Endocrinol., 30 123:1468 (1988).
The binding assay was conducted with various peptides of the invention, and the IC50 value, (half maximal inhibition of binding of mono-l25I-[Nle Tyr34(3-l25I)]bPTH(1-34)NH2, for each peptide was 35 calculated.

W O 97/02834 PCTrUS96/11292 As shown in Table I, all of the tested peptides had a high binding affinity for the PTH receptor on the SaOS-2 cell.
B. Stimulation of Adenylate Cyclase Activity s The ability of the peptides of the invention to - induce a biological response in SaOS-2 cells were measured. More specifically, any stimulation of the adenylate cyclase was determined by measuring the level of synthesis of cAMP (adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate) as 10 described previously in Rodan, et al., J. Clin. Invest.
72: 1511 (1983) and Goldman, et al., Endocrinol., 123:1468 (1988). Confluent SAOS-2 cells in 24 wells plates were incubated with 0.5 ~Ci [3H]adenine (26.9 Ci/mmol, New England Nuclear, Boston, MA) in fresh medium 15 at 37~C for 2 hrs, and washed twice with Hank's balanced salt solution (Gibco, Gaithersburg, MD). The cells were treated with 1 mM IBMX [isobutylmethyl-xanthine, Sigma, St. Louis, MO] in fresh medium for 15 min, and the peptides of the invention were added to the medium to 20 incubate for 5 min. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 1.2 M trichloroacetic acid (TCA) (Sigma, St.
Louis, MO) followed by sample neutralization with 4 N
KOH. cAMP was isolated by the two-column chromatographic method (Salmon, et al., 1974, Anal. Biochem. 58, 541).
25 The radioactivity was counted in a scintillation counter (Liquid Scintillation Counter 2200CA, PACKARD, Downers Grove, IL).
The respective EC50 values (half maximal stimulation of adenylate cyclase) for the tested peptides 30 were calculated and shown in Table I. All tested peptides were found to be potent stimulators of adenylate cyclase activity, which is a biochemical pathway ~ indicative as a proximal signal for osteoblast proliferation (e.g., bone growth).
