Description

Ai Saina peptide analogues
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to Ai Saina peptide analogues.
Background
Mammalian GLP-1 is derived from a protoglucagon-like peptide secreted by L cells of the intestinal mucosa, whereas natural analogs of GLP-1, exenatide, developed by Amylin, inc., are found in saliva secretions of exendins, with amino acid sequences that share sequence similarity to several members of the GLP family, have 53% homology to human GLP-1 (7-36).
The expression and activity of human GLP-1 (7-36) in vivo is strictly regulated, and when the second Ala at the N end of the human GLP-1 is hydrolyzed by Dipeptidylpeptidase (DPP), inactive GLP-1 (9-36) is formed, and the metabolite is also an in vivo natural antagonist of GLP-1R. Thus, natural human active GLP-1 has a very short half-life in vivo and a metabolism rate of 2min; in addition, in physiological state, GLP-1 is mainly excreted through kidney, so that clinical application of human GLP-1 is limited. The second amino acid Gly of the non-human artificially synthesized Exenatide is different from Ala of human GLP-1, so that degradation of dipeptidyl peptidase can be effectively resisted; the rigid (PSSGAPPPS) amino acid sequence of the C end of Exenatide can increase the stability of the polypeptide, and the blood sugar reducing capability of Exenatide in vivo is about 1000 times stronger than GLP-1.
Ai Saina peptide (also known as Exenatide or Exenatide, or Ex-4, trade name Byetta) is a polypeptide composed of 39 amino acids and having a molecular weight of 4186.6 and a molecular formula of C 184 H 282 N 50 O 60 S, CAS number 141758-74-9, amino acid sequence is shown below.
His-Gly-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Leu-Ser-Lys-Gln-Met-Glu-Glu-Glu-Ala-Val-Arg-Leu-Phe-Ile-Glu-Trp-Leu-Lys-Asn-Gly-Gly-Pro-Ser-Ser-Gly-Ala-Pro-Pro-Pro-Ser-NH 2 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Produced and sold by Amylin pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly. Ai Saina peptide is approved by FDA in 4 2005 and belongs to medicinal subcutaneous injection preparation, which has the functions of promoting glucose-dependent insulin secretion, recovering first-phase insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon secretion, slowing down the emptying of gastric contents, improving the functions of pancreatic beta cells and the like, and is very suitable for treating type II diabetes; for example, for improving and controlling the glycemia in patients with type II diabetes who are not ideal for metformin and sulfonylurea drug therapy.
Exenatide peptide secondary structure: the Exenatide has irregular curls at the N end, the middle parts are alternately arranged with amino acid residues with side chains with opposite charges on the same side surface, a helix is formed through a salt bridge or a polar hydrogen bond, and the C end is hydrophilic Trp-Cage. The interaction mechanism of Exenatide and GLP-1 receptor has been studied clearly.
A series of different structural designs have been developed to extend the structural half-life of GLP-1 analogues and increase the bioactivity. CN1384755 discloses a novel Exendin agonist preparation and a method for administration thereof, and discloses a compound structure of Exenatide and a preparation method thereof. CN102532303 discloses the modification of the amino group of lysine or the amino group of the N-terminal histidine residue in Exenatide with methoxypolyethylene glycol. CN200980111088 discloses fatty acid-PEG-Exenatide. Patent CN101125207 reports the structural modification of Exenatide to a short peptide. CN105753963a discloses Exenatide analogs with single or multiple point amino acid mutations. CN102397558 discloses that some amino acids in Exenatide are substituted with cysteines and modified with PEG or PEG with methyl substituted terminal.
Despite the efforts made in the development of long-acting pharmaceutical products of Ai Saina peptide analogs, the Ai Saina peptide analogs currently on the market have poor stability and low efficacy, and as the structural and active basis for the development of long-acting pharmaceutical products, innovative modification and research of Ai Saina peptide analogs remains a very important topic.
Based on the above analytical study, we selected Ai Saina peptide as the modified polypeptide sequence of the invention, combined with computer model calculation and combination test, focused on modification of the amino acid sequence at the C-terminal thereof, while adding modified active site for long-acting drug development.

The pharmaceutical test results show that the activity of 32 Ai Saina peptides similar to the activity of stimulating the mouse islet tumor cells RIN-m5F to release cAMP in vitro is obviously higher than that of the unmutated Ai Saina peptide; and the hypoglycemic effect of the subcutaneous injection on db/db model mice is obviously better than Ai Saina peptide. Thus, the Ai Saina peptide analogs can be used to better prevent, treat or alleviate diabetes, obesity and/or complications.
The difference between the 32 Ai Saina peptide analogs of the invention and the unmutated Ai Saina peptide was analyzed using MOE software (Molecular Operating Environment, chemical Computing Group, montreal, canada), and the results indicate that the interaction and bond formation number between the 32 Ai Saina peptide analogs and the receptor of the invention were changed, preferably, the C-terminal amino acid sequence of the 6 Ai Saina peptide analogs Ex-4 (i-vi) formed a novel binding effect, which stabilized the polypeptide alpha helix structure, promoted its binding to the active core structure domain, and improved the bioactivity.
The Ai Saina peptide analogs contemplated by the present invention all exhibit enhanced activity. The Ai Saina peptide Ex-4 and Ai Saina peptide analogs stimulated cAMP release activity in murine islet tumor cells RIN-m5F at different drug concentrations. In vitro biological activity increases in a dose-dependent manner. Preferably, the Ai Saina peptide analog Ex-4 (i-vi) has a higher activity to stimulate cAMP release from the RIN-5mF cells of the pancreatic islet tumors of the mice than other analogs. More preferably, the Ai Saina peptide analogs Ex-4ii, ex-4iii and Ex-4iv have higher cAMP-releasing activity in murine islet tumor cells RIN-m5F than the Ai Saina peptide analogs Ex-4i, ex-4v and Ex-4 vi.
Ex-4 and Ex-4 (i-vi) groups were subcutaneously administered for 0.5h to significantly lower blood glucose levels (P < 0.01); the hypoglycemic effect of Ex-4 can be maintained for 8 hours after single administration, and the blood sugar concentration is obviously increased after 12 hours of administration. The hypoglycemic effect of Ex-4 (i-vi) was maintained for 12h in a single administration, and the blood glucose level of Ex-4 (i-vi) was still lower than that of the model group (P < 0.05) in a single administration for 12 h. Therefore, the six analogues of Ex-4 (i-vi) have the effect of reducing blood sugar, and have longer effect of reducing blood sugar compared with the Ex-4, and particularly the effect of reducing blood sugar of Ex-4ii, ex-4iii and Ex-4iv is more remarkable. Ex-4 (i-vi) has stronger activity than Ex-4, longer efficacy maintaining time and longer half-life.
Compared with Ex-4, the Ai Saina peptide analogue provided by the invention is obtained through an in-vivo hypoglycemic effect test of a db/db mouse with a type II diabetes model, and the Ai Saina peptide and the analogue thereof can obviously reduce the blood sugar level after being subcutaneously administrated for 0.5 h; the hypoglycemic effect of Ai Saina peptide can be maintained for 8 hours after single administration, the blood sugar concentration is obviously increased after 12 hours of administration, and the Ai Saina peptide analogue has high hypoglycemic maintenance time Yu Aisai nano peptide Ex-4 and the hypoglycemic maintenance time reaches more than 10 hours. Preferably, the hypoglycemic effect of the Ai Saina peptide analogue Ex-4 (i-vi) was maintained for 12h in a single administration and the blood glucose level was still maintained lower in the Ex-4 (i-vi) group than in the model group (P < 0.05) in a single administration for 12 h. Therefore, the Ai Saina peptide analogues have the effect of reducing blood sugar, and have longer blood sugar reducing effect compared with Ai Saina peptide Ex-4. Ai Saina peptide analogs are more active than Ai Saina peptides, have longer duration of efficacy and have a longer half-life.
The Ai Saina peptide analogue designed by the invention has long half-life period, good stability and high activity, and can simultaneously maintain good hypoglycemic effect and low toxicity.

Experimental results show that compared with a model group, the blood sugar level (P < 0.01) can be obviously reduced after the Ex-4 and Ex-4 (i-vi) groups are subcutaneously injected for 0.5 h; the hypoglycemic effect of Ex-4 can be maintained for 8 hours after single administration, and the blood sugar concentration is obviously increased after 12 hours of administration. The hypoglycemic effect of Ex-4 (i-vi) was maintained for 12h in a single administration, and the blood glucose level of Ex-4 (i-vi) was still lower than that of the model group (P < 0.05) in a single administration for 12 h. Therefore, the six analogues of Ex-4 (i-vi) have the effect of reducing blood sugar, and have longer effect of reducing blood sugar compared with the Ex-4, and particularly the effect of reducing blood sugar of Ex-4ii, ex-4iii and Ex-4iv is more remarkable. Ex-4 (i-vi) has stronger activity than Ex-4, longer efficacy maintaining time and longer half-life.
