Description

Cyclic antimicrobial peptides
The application be that December in 2006 21 days, application number are 200680053281.0 the applying date, denomination of invention divides an application for the application for a patent for invention of " cyclic antimicrobial peptides ".
Invention field
The present invention relates to ring-type cationic peptide and the application in the treatment infected by microbes thereof.
Background of invention
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP) has formed the basis of eukaryote immunity, and the first line of defence of opposing microbial destruction skin and mucomembranous surface is provided.The example of natural AMP comprises alexin and cathelicidin peptide family.The length of these AMP, sequence and configurations, but their topmost common ground are that molecule is little, band cation net charge and both sexes structure.Also from various bacteria, fungus, plant,, cation antimicrobial peptide little without isolating spinal animals and spinal animals, so it seems that antimicrobial peptide also in procaryotic defence, brought into play effect.
Natural AMP shows the broad spectrum of activity of resisting gram-positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria, yeast, fungus and enveloped virus.Pathogenic microorganism be it seems not to be had to obtain the resistance to these cationic peptides, and similarly, AMP has conservatively experienced the evolution of several thousand as important natural immunity host defense molecule.Therefore be understood that, AMP has become the potential goal in research for the therapeutic agent of multi-infection.Yet AMP is faced with technical challenge, and it is high in the recombination system production cost, has potent chemotaxis and inflammatory biological function, and these have all hindered natural AMP becomes therapeutic agent.
In our common pending application, we have shown is rich in some alkaline residue, as lysine or arginic linear peptides, has antimicrobial acivity, particularly antifungal activity.Yet, still also need to can be used in the medicine for the treatment of and prophylaxis of microbial infection.

With regard to common term, the term " peptide " that the present invention uses refers to a plurality of amino acid residues that couple together by peptide bond.This term can with peptide and protein Alternate, and same meaning.
In one embodiment of the invention, cyclic peptide is selected from:
K-K-K-K-K-K-K
R-R-R-R-R-R-R
The peptide that peptide of the present invention is normally synthetic.Peptide can be separate, the peptide of purification or their variant, these can be external synthetic, for example by the solid-phase peptide synthetic method, by enzymatic peptide, synthesize or by recombinant DNA technology.
In aspect the present invention more specifically, provide the method for preparation according to peptide of the present invention, the method comprises that reaction by peptide and coupling agent is by the peptide cyclisation shown in formula (I) or formula (II).
Coupling agent can be any can be between two ends (C-terminal and N-terminal) amino acid residue of the peptide of linear forms, for example between two amino acid backbones or side chain, form the reagent of peptide bond.On the selection of coupling agent, can affect the efficiency of coupling, thereby affect the output of cyclic peptide.Table 1 has shown coupling agent used in method of the present invention, and the technical staff will recognize that other known coupling agent also can be for the present invention.Preferred coupling agent is HATU-O-(7-azo BTA-1-yl)-N, N, N', N'-tetramethylurea hexafluorophosphoric acid ester.
Preferably, the reaction between peptide and coupling agent is to occur in alkali to exist in situation.Alkali can include, but are not limited to N-methylmorpholine (NMM) or diisopropylethylamine (DIEA).Preferably, reaction occurs under alkaline pH, and for example pH is between 8.5-9.Before peptide and coupling agent reaction, peptide can be modified into to the peptide that comprises blocking group.Blocking group can comprise: Pbf(2,2,4,6; 7-pentamethyl Dihydrobenzofuranes-5-sulfonyl), the tBu(tertbutyl ether), Mtr(methoxy trimethylbenzene sulfonyl) and, Pmc(2; 2,5,7,8-pentamethyl benzo dihydropyran-6-sulfonic acid chloride); Mbh(4,4-dimethoxy-benzyl hydride, 4; 4-dimethyloxybenzylhydride), Tmob(2,3; 4-trimethoxy benzyl), the Aloc(allyloxycarbonyl), the Fmoc(9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) and the Boc(tertbutyloxycarbonyl).After the reaction with coupling agent, can remove blocking group by the cracking under solutions of weak acidity, for example under the existence of trifluoracetic acid (TFA) solution.
In the skeleton cyclization process of peptide, the peptide of linear peptides C-terminal contacts with the activated group of coupling agent, and, along with reaction is carried out, on this amino acid whose α carbon, forms keto-enol formula intermediate.Therefore, when from ortho position carbon, removing activated group, enol (enol) (or enol, alkenol) intermediate can cause the formation of two kinds of enantiomers, and has formed peptide bond.The coupling agent one that passes through to use is activated, this racemization, be the formation of the diastereomer of the formation (for example dextrorotatory form and levorotatory form (namely being respectively d and l isomer)) of single amino acid enantiomer and peptide as a whole, just can occur on the cyclisation position.Owing to wishing that peptide of the present invention is pure enantiomer, therefore should reduce or avoid the generation of undesirable diastereomer.In order to reduce and avoid the generation of this diastereomer, and the peptide of producing pure diastereomer, peptide of the present invention can be modified to the peptide that comprises the achirality part, and this part has been avoided the racemization of peptide in the cyclization process.
Therefore of the present invention more preferably aspect in, the peptide of peptide of the present invention or method of the present invention definition is modified to and comprises the part of avoiding forming in cyclization process the diastereomer of peptide." racemic peptide " that the present invention uses referred to before the peptide cyclisation, comprises the optical isomer separately of a certain amount of (normally equivalent) PEPC end amino acid, for example the peptide of dextrorotation and left-handed form (namely being respectively d and/or l isomer).The part that is introduced into peptide is generally achirality aminoacid, can be aminoacid or the amino acid analogue of natural formation.Achirality aminoacid can be selected from glycine, Beta-alanine, 3-alanine, 4-Aminobutanoicacid, 5-aminovaleric acid and 6-aminocaprolc acid.In one embodiment of the invention, at C-terminal, peptide is modified into and comprises achirality aminoacid, for example glycine.
Except as mentioned above peptide of the present invention being modified into to C-terminal, comprise a part, the ratio of two kinds of enantiomer that form in the cyclization process of peptide depends on several factors, as solvent, cyclization time (incubation time) and the temperature of using in cyclization process (namely with the coupling agent reaction), and be used to promoting the activated group of cyclisation.
The invention still further relates to the peptide of the cyclisation that can obtain by method of the present invention.
In one embodiment of the invention, cyclic peptide comprises the aminoacid sequence that is selected from following amino acid sequences:
K-K-K-K-K-K-K
R-R-R-R-R-R-R
O-O-O-O-O-O-O
