Definitions

  • the present invention relates to new analogues of Cyclolinopeptide A, in particular analogues having a cyclic formula derived from the sequence of Cyclolinopeptide A, which sequence is extended between any two amino acid residues with a defined cystine derivative residue. Additionally, the invention relates to the analogues of the invention for use as a medicament, in particular for use as an immunosuppressive agent. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the analogues of the invention for the preparation of a medicament for immunosuppressive treatment, to pharmaceutical preparations comprising an analogue of the invention, and a method of treating a mammal, including man, in need of immunosuppressive treatment.
  • Cyclolinopeptide A was first isolated from linseed cake by Kaufmann H.P. and Tobschirbel A., in 1959 (Chem. Ber., 92.
  • Immunosuppressive treatment of a patient in need thereof requires large amounts of the immunosuppressive agent used.
  • Cyclolinopeptide A is synthesized according to the method used in our previous patent application, 60-70% of the linear peptide is lost during the cyclization. It is evident that large scale production of Cyclolinopeptide A is very expensive, and industrial production of Cyclolinopeptide A is thus deferred.
  • Cyclolinopeptide A having a cyclic formula derived from the sequence of Cyclolinopeptide A
  • cystine derivative residue is located between the amino acid residues Leu and Phe in the formula of Cyclolinopeptide A. In fact the location of said cystine derivative residue in the sequence of Cyclolinopeptide A was randomly chosen. Thus it can be expected that the immunosuppressive activity of
  • Cyclolinopeptide A is retained irrespective of between which two amino acid residues in the sequence thereof the cystine derivative residue is introduced.
  • an analogue of the invention for use as a medicament.
  • an analogue of the invention for the preparation of a medicament for immunosuppressive treatment.
  • a method of treating a mammal, including man, in need of immunosuppressive treatment comprising administering to said mammal a pharmacologically effective amount of an analogue of the invention.
  • a pharmaceutical preparation comprising an analogue of the invention together with pharmaceutically acceptable carrier(s), excipient(s) and/or diluent(s).
  • the amount of an analogue of the invention to be administered to a mammal in need of immunosuppressive treatment has to be decided by a physician who is experienced in immunosuppressive therepy.
  • the pharmaceutical preparation comprising an analogue of the invention can be formulated into oral preparations or preparations for infusion using pharmaceutically acceptable carrier(s), excipient(s) and/or diluent(s) suitable for such preparations, but keeping in mind that said analogue is insoluble in water.
  • the pharmaceutical preparation can e.g. comprise an analogue of the invention in a pharmacologically effective amount suspended in an olive oil.
  • analogues of the invention have immunosuppressive activity, which is comparable to that of Ciclosporin (also called Cyclosporin A) and Cyclolinopeptide A. Accordingly, the analogues of the invention are to be used in medicaments for immunosuppressive treatment of mammals, including man, for all indications where immunosuppressive treatment is warranted.
  • immunosuppressive treatment for the prevention of allograft rejection after organ transplantation and bone marrow transplantation, prophylactic or therepeutic treatment of graf t-versus-host-disease (GHHD), and autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and diabetes mellitus.
  • GHHD graf t-versus-host-disease
  • SLE systemic lupus erythematosus
  • RA rheumatoid arthritis
  • Fig. 1 shows a graph of the inhibition of PPIase activity by Cyclosporin A.
  • Fig. 2 shows a graph of the inhibition of PPIase activity by CLA, LA, and 1-Mpa-LA-Cys-NH 2 .
  • CLA analogues of the invention can be produced by any known method in the art of peptide chemistry, whereby a linear peptide is formed, which is then subjected to an oxidation step in order to cyclize two cysteine related residues, whereby a sulphur bridge is formed between said residues, thus forming a cystine derivative residue.
  • linear linopeptide (LA) analogues can thus be synthesized in conventional manner e.g. by step wise coupling of one amino acid residue to the next in liquid phase, e.g. according to the method of Law, H.B. & Du Vigneaud, V.:J. Am. Chem. Soc. 82 (1960) 4579-4581; Zhuze, A.L., Jost, K. Kasafirek, E. & Rudinger, J . : Coll. Czechoslovak Chem Commun. 29 (1964) 2648-2662, modified by Larsson L.-E., Lindeberg, G., Melm, P. & Pliska, V.: J . Med. Chem.
  • the filtrate was evaporated and the residue freeze-dried from 1% acetic acid in water.
  • the product was then purified by reversed phase liquid chromatography on a column filled with Vydac 20-25 ⁇ (Separation Group, CA, USA) in a suitable system containing acetonitrile in 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid water solution.
  • the samples collected from the column were analyzed by analytical HPLC (Varian 5500, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) equipped with a Bondapak C 18 column
  • the peptide was prepared according to the general description of synthesis. 3-Mercaptopropionic acid CS-(p-methoxy-)benzyl] was used for position 1.
  • the peptide was prepared according to the general description of synthesis. 3-Mercaptopropionic acid [S-(p-methoxy-)benzyl] was used for position I and Boc-D-cysteine
  • the peptide was prepared according to the general description of synthesis. 2-Hydroxy-3-mercaptopropionic acid was used for position I. Purity (HPLC):97.5%
  • the peptide was prepared according to the general description of synthesis using amino acids of D-configuration.
  • PPIase peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase
  • PPIase is probably identical to cyclophilm, a recently discovered mammalian protein which binds tightly to Cyclosporin A.
  • the pig kidney cortex was homogenized in equal volume of saccharose (0.2 M) and centrifuged 60 min. at 10,000 x g. The supernatant was adjusted to pH 5.5 by addition of 1 M acetate buffer, pH 4.0. The precipitate was discarded and the supernatant was brought to pH 7.0. The extract was brought to 40% saturation of ammonium sulphate. To the supernatant obtained after 15 min. centrifugation at 20,000 x g solid sodium sulphate was added to get a final saturation of 60%. The precipitate obtained by centrifugation was dissolved in a small volume of 10 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.6 and dialysed 24 h. against the same buffer.
  • the dialysed solution was loaded onto a DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column, that had been previously equilibrated with the same buffer and eluted without changing the buffer.
  • the eluate rich in PPIase activity passed through the column in one active peak.
  • the active fractions were applied on a CM-Sephadex C-50 column and eluted with a linear gradient of KCl (0-1.2 M) as one active peak.
