The application requires the priority of No. the 60/163rd, 911, the U.S. Provisional Application of on November 5th, 1999 application.
Background of invention
Invention field
The present invention relates to peptide analogues and peptide mimics that beta sheet destroys peptide, described peptide analogues and peptide mimics are suitable for using in the body treatment mammalian proteins matter conformation disease, for example Alzheimer's and prion disease.More particularly, the present invention relates to new type of peptides analog and peptide mimics, comprise the Pharmaceutical composition of a kind of in described peptide analogues and the peptide mimics or their mixture, and relate to and be used to prevent, treat or detect obstacle or the disease relevant: be folded into amyloid or the sedimental paraprotein of amyloid sample or it has the precursor of pathogenic beta sheet structure with following composition.
Description of related art
Having accumulated mass data shows: several different obstacles have identical molecular basis, and promptly protein conformation changes (Thomas etc., Trends Biochem.Sci. 20: 456-459,1995; Soto, J.Mol.Med.77:412-418,1999).These protein conformation diseases comprise Alzheimer's, prion correlation obstacle, SA, serpin defective obstacle, Huntington disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Soto 1999, see above).The sign of protein conformation obstacle is that the primary structure of normal protein does not change, but secondary structure and tertiary structure change.Conformational change albumen may cause disease (Thomas etc., 1995, see above) by direct toxicity activity, the biological function that lacks normal folded protein or inappropriate transportation.Under the virose situation of described albumen, described albumen usually in Different Organs self-association and the deposition become amyloid fibrils, cause tissue damage (Thomas etc., 1995, see above; Kelly, Curr.Opin.Struct.Biol. 6: 11-17,1996; Soto, 1999, see above).
Alzheimer's (AD) is destructive neurodegenerative disease, it is characterized in that losing short-term memory, disorientation and judgment and inferential capability and weakens.AD is a most common dementia in the elderly population.According to estimates, there is influence (Teplow, the Amyloid that is subjected to AD above 2,005 million peoples to some extent in the whole world 5: 121-142,1998).The sign of AD is that soluble protein aggregation body (being called amyloid) is deposited in brain essence and the cerebral blood vessel wall.The main component of amyloid is the 4.3KDa hydrophobic peptide that is called amyloid beta peptide (A β), described peptide as the part of a kind of longer precursor protein (APP) by chromosome 21 coding (Selkoe, Science 275: 630-631,1997).Genetics, biochemistry and the neuropathology evidence strong hint of the accumulation of past 10 years: amyloid plays an important role in the early stage pathogenesis of AD, and may trigger this disease (Soto etc., J.Neurochem. 63: 1191-1198,1994; Selkoe, 1997, see above; Teplow, 1998, see above; Sisodia and Price, FASEB J. 9: 366-370,1995; Soto, Mol.Med.Today 5:343-350,1999).
Amyloid is a generic term, describes fibrillation aggregation (Serpell etc., Cell Mol.Life Sci. with common structure motif (being the beta sheet conformation) 53: 887,1997; Sipe, Ann.Rev.Biochem. 61: 947-975,1992).Described aggregation shows the specific stain characteristic, comprises with the ability of sending green birefringent light behind the congo red staining, and the ability of binding fluorescent dyes thioflavine S (Sipe, 1992, see above; Ghiso etc., Mol.Neurobiol. 8: 49-64,1994).Have to surpass 12 kinds of etiologic etiological human diseasess of difference and be characterised in that amyloid extracellular deposition in different tissues, cause cellular damage, organ dysfunction is unusual and dead.Relate in the disease of amyloidosis at these, outstanding is Alzheimer's, prion correlation obstacle (being also referred to as TSE) and SA (table 1).Amyloid fibrils is made up of proteolytic fragments normal or the mutator gene product usually.Have and surpass 16 kinds of different albumen (table 1) that relate to amyloid deposition in different tissues (Ghiso etc., 1994, see above).
The basic problem that amyloid forms is a protein folding, the wherein main soluble peptide that curls at random take the beta sheet conformation flock together (Kelly, 1996, see above; Soto, 1999, see above).The formation of amyloid is such: between the amyloid generation intermediate of conformational change hydrophobic interaction takes place, described intermediate structurally forms the beta sheet conformation when peptide interaction.Hydrophobicity it seems that for inducing the monomer that causes gathering to interact be important, and the beta sheet conformation may determine the gathering order in the amyloid fibrils.In the effort that suppresses amyloid fibrils formation, come separately this two specific character by the design short synthetic peptide, described short synthetic peptide has and the sequence homology in the peptide territory that relates to conformational change and the hydrophobicity of similarity degree, but the tendency of taking the beta sheet conformation very low (be called beta sheet and destroy peptide) (Soto etc., 1996, see above; Soto etc., 1998, see above).Target is the peptide that design has following ability: specificity generates peptide in conjunction with amyloidosis, generates the compound (Soto, 1999, see above) of the stability stablize physiology conformation, the unusual conformation of the described peptide of destruction.

At present, design beta sheet and destroyed peptide relates separately to Alzheimer's and prion disease with blocking-up pathogenetic a and the middle conformational change that occurs of prion protein (PrP).Formerly technology shows: destroy the peptide conformation change that peptide (being called iA β 1 and iA β 5) suppresses to cause amyloid formation with 11 residues and the 5 residue beta sheets of A β center hydrophobic region homology, and at the preformed fibrillation of dissolution in vitro (Soto etc., Biochem.Biiophys.Res.Commun. 226: 672-680,1996; Soto etc., Nature Med. 4: 822-826,1998).In addition, in cell culture experiments, described 5 residue peptide can be prevented owing to forming the neuronal death that the oligomerization A beta structure be rich in beta sheet causes (Soto etc., 1998, see above).In addition, by using intracerebral injection A β 1-42 to induce the amyloidosis rat model, formerly technology shows: inject described 5 residue beta sheets altogether and destroy peptide minimizing brain A β deposition, and block the deposition (Soto etc. of rat brain Central Plains cellulose starche sample pathology fully, 1998, see above).At last, inject described beta sheet destruction peptide after eight days at injection A β and can decompose preformed A β fibrillation in the rat brain in vivo, cause the size of amyloid deposition to reduce (Sigurdsson, Frangione, Soto, the manuscript of submission).What is interesting is, destroy peptide by beta sheet and remove the relevant brain tissue damage of amyloid protein recovery, comprise that neuron shrinkage and microglia cell activate.
Also design beta sheet and destroyed the conformational change that peptide is caused by prion (PrP) with prevention and recovery.According to same principle and use PrP sequence 114-122 as template, formerly technology shows: when synthetic one group of beta sheet destroyed peptide, 13 residue peptide (iPrP13) showed high activity (Soto, 1999, see above).Use several cell in vitro to cultivate and the interior inhibition activity of testing of body, the result spells out: might not only prevent PrP c→ PrP ScTransform, more meaningfully recover contagiosity PrP ScConformation arrives and PrP cSimilar biochemistry and configuration state (Soto etc., the manuscript of submission).
The extensive use small peptide is as the medicine in the medical science (Rao etc., C.Basava and G.M.Anantharamaiah, editor Boston:Birkhauser, 181-198 page or leaf, 1994).Yet because enzymatic degradation causes peptide drug oral bioavilability difference and acting duration weak point in the body, the development of peptide medicine is subjected to strong restrictions (Fauchere and Thurieau, Adv.Drug Res. 23: 127-159,1992).Producing the progress that proteolysis is had on the peptide analogues of hyposensitivity (as false peptide and peptide mimics) more in recent years, increasing the possibility (Fauchere and Thurieau, 1992, see above) of the useful medicine that obtains peptide structurally associated female with it.Improve peptide the stability of protease has not only been increased the half life of described compound in blood circulation, and increase its ability of on varying level, being transported or absorbing (comprising intestinal absorption and blood-brain barrier permeability), because transhipment and absorb seems highly to depend on time (Fauchere and Thurieau that film or barrier are exposed to various bioactivators, 1992, see above).

In Fig. 1, shown the vague generalization peptide backbone, wherein highlighted the possible target of chemical modification. Possible target comprises following: (1) modifies the terminal and C end (target a and target b) of N of described peptide; (2) change side chain (target c), this is usually directed to 49-Phe ,82-Ser,115-Arg,144-Met,145-Asn ,161-Arg,169-Met Human Connective tissue growth factor; (3) modify alpha-carbon atom (target d), comprise methylate, alkylation and dehydrogenation; (4) replace the L-residue with the D-residue, change chirality; (5) end to end cyclisation; (6) introduce amido link and replace (target e), namely change the atom that participates in peptide (or acid amides) key. Rear a kind of derivative is called as false peptide or amido link substitute.
Native peptides usually is subjected to the synergy of selectivity endopeptidase and non-specific exopeptidase and degrades. Endopeptidase usually is present in tissue and the cellular compartment, peptide is transformed into the fragment of two or more non-activities. Exopeptidase generally is present among blood and the peripheral organ, and complete peptide or their segment degradation are become amino acid in groups, and therefore peptide is disappeared from blood circulation. Free amine group group or carboxylic group in the exopeptidase identification polypeptide. Therefore, modifying these groups usually weakens or has eliminated the exopeptidase degraded. The peptide cyclisation causes lacking the free terminal group end to end, also therefore minimizes the cutting of exopeptidase. On the other hand, endopeptidase identification participates in the atom of amido link. Therefore, amido link replaces the degradation that can obviously reduce endopeptidase. Modify alpha-carbon atom and usually obtain same effect. Because great majority (if not all) exopeptidases and endopeptidase are stereospecific, so replace the stability that natural L-amino acid causes obviously increasing peptide with the D-stereoisomer. At last, peptide mimics has complete resistance to PD usually, and usually can orally give.Design beta sheet by the chemical modification leader peptide and destroy peptide analogues
From 5 residue alzheimer's peptide for inhibiting (iA β 5, Seq.LPFFD-also is expressed as Leu Pro Phe Phe Asp) and 13 residue prion peptide for inhibiting (iPrP13, Seq. DAPAAPAGPAVPV-also is expressed as Asp Ala Pro Ala Ala Pro Ala Gly Pro Ala Val Pro Val) beginning, design modification as mentioned below. Use is by synthetic peptides that uses in the present invention of standard method open and incorporated herein by reference such as Bergmann. (Bergmann ﹠ Zervas, Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft (1932)65:1192-1201)
A) modify the terminal and C end of N.Terminated acetylated or the deamination of N is given the protection to many aminopeptidases digestion, and the existence that replaces the acid amides of C terminal carboxyl groups or alcohol prevents from the cutting of several carboxypeptidases to comprise the cutting of Carboxypeptidase A and protaminase.The peptide sequence of change that comprises above-mentioned modification is as follows, and wherein ac is acetylization, and am is amidatioon, and des is a deamination, and alc is alcoholization.
