Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of oligomeric molecules ("oligomers") containing non-nucleotide phosphorus esters, which are useful as mixtures, particularly in the form of combinatorial libraries, to screen for binding activity to biologically significant targets, including protein targets.
  • Esters with high affinity have value as drug or diagnostic candidates, and such combinatorial libraries thereof have value as products used to identify such candidates.
  • Non-nucleotide phosphorus esters have been incorporated into oligonucleotides as linker groups which connect two separate oligonucleotide sequences.
  • oligonucleotides containing a single non-nucleotide hexaethylene glycol phosphodiester have been described (Durand et al., 1990).
  • the oligonucleotide regions of the molecule were base paired to form a duplex structure, and the non-nucleotide phosphorus ester functioned as a loop to connect the two strands.
  • oligonucleotides have been incorporated into oligonucleotides (Richardson and Schepartz, 1991) to act as tethers of varying lengths which connect two separate oligonucleotide sequences.
  • the tethers enabled the oligonucleotide sequences to bind to non-contiguous regions of an RNA target.
  • Diethylene-glycol phosphodiester and deca-ethylene-glycol phosphodiester moieties have also been incorporated into oligonucleotides for similar purposes (Cload and Schepartz, 1991).
  • Non-nucleotide phosphorus ester oligomers have been used for other functions.
  • oligomeric phosphorus esters possessing substituted alkyl substituents have been synthesized and used as fire retardants (Hardy and Jaffe 1980).
  • Oligomeric phosphorus esters of phenolic compounds have also been described as fireproofing agents (Sase et al ., 1988).
  • non-nucleotide compounds have been used in combination with nucleotides in a combinatorial manner to search for compounds which bind to biological targets.
  • Compounds possessing various backbone elements such as ethylene glycol phosphate, hydroxyproline phosphate, or PNA ("peptide nucleic acid") have been used, and a twelve residue pentamer combinatorial library containing substituted ethylene glycol phosphate residues in combination with nucleotide residues was reported (Ecker, 1994).
  • Other groups have described the assembly of combinatorial libraries of oligomers made from a set of monomers consisting of a side chain and a uniform backbone element (Zuckermann et al . , 1994).
  • the phosphodiester linkages have been substituted with acetal groups (Matteucci et al . , 1993), and the regular deoxyribose element of the backbone has been replaced with a 5-3-ethano-bridged rigid analog, both with the objective of introducing conformational constraint.
  • the oligonucleotides bound with higher affinity to their cognate sequences than did conventional oligonucleotides (Leumann et al., 1993).
  • Combinatorial libraries of oligomers having potential for binding to proteins and other biological targets are valuable products for use in drug screening and other research by pharmaceutical and diagnostic industry members and by investigators in the biological and medical arts. They provide a convenient and rich source of candidates for modulating biologically active agents, particularly proteins, through their binding potential. Thus these products constitute a pool of readily accessible and sophisticated oligomeric constructs and libraries that satisfies this market and thereby makes structures available to research programs which would not otherwise have access to the broad spectrum of candidates they provide.

  • Preferred embodiments include combinatorial mixtures wherein the oligomers are labeled with 32 phosphorus, 35 sulfur, tritium, fluorescein or biotin.
  • a large, highly diverse set of structurally unrelated, derivatized monomers is prepared for incorporation into oligomeric libraries.
  • the libraries are synthesized using combinatorial techniques from subsets of available monomers to generate molecular ensembles from which can be selected those with maximum affinity for the target protein.
  • the number of monomers used in the library synthesis is chosen to exploit the full capability of the screening technology used to identify the best ligand.
  • the nature of the phosphorus linking group in these compounds can be varied at any position to create a greater diversity per unit length of the oligomer than would otherwise be achieved with one type of linkage, such as a phosphodiester or amide.
  • the flexibility of this linkage is also controllable by changing between freely rotatable phosphodiesters, and rotationally constrained phosphoramidates or other esters with bulky groups directly attached to phosphorus.
  • the gross physical characteristics of the molecules can be varied from anionic to neutral to cationic, with all intermediate cases represented.
  • the unique and advantageous aspects of the present invention lie principally in the highly variant set of monomers employed for the synthesis of combinatorial libraries, and the choice of the linking groups in the product oligomers.
  • the monomers fufill two roles: a structural function whereby the molecular geometry and flexibity of the oligomer are controlled, and secondly, they contain appropriate functional groups to bind to protein or other biological targets.
  • the monomers do not contain the sugar or sugar analog element that is found in most other types of oligomers. Instead, any molecule containing two hydroxyl functions may be considered a suitable monomer candidate.
  • control can be excercised over the degree of flexibility in these compounds.
  • constraints can be introduced by either using intrinsically inflexible monomers, or monomers in which the two hydroxy groups are vicinal and the resultant steric congestion limits certain bond rotations.
  • the importance of being able to modulate the conformational freedom of potential drug candidates in order to optimize their binding and selectivity profiles is a well understood principal in medicinal chemistry.
  • conformationally-constrained compounds are desirable as lead molecules in any rational drug design program.
  • the monomers In relation to the ability of the monomers to present appropiate binding groups to protein targets, essentially all common organic functional groups, when suitably protected, are compatible with the condensation chemistry that is employed for synthesizing the oligomers.
  • the monomers used for the synthesis of a library directed against a particular biological target are chosen to contribute to the affinity for the target.
  • the monomers can be subdivided into a range of different categories describing their principal mode of binding, examples being; hydrophobic, hydrogen bond donor, hydrogen bond acceptor, electrostatic cation, and electrostatic anion. Obviously, many monomers contain multiple binding elements and can be assigned to more than one category.
  • each phosphorus linking element connecting the monomer units can be independently modified to both introduce additional binding functionality, and also control the structural flexibility of the oligomers.
  • These linkages can exist either as phosphates, phosphorothioates or phosphoramidates, depending on the oxidation conditions employed for their synthesis.
  • Additional binding groups can be introduced into the oligomers by the oxidation of intermediate H-phosphonate linkages using a diverse range of primary and secondary, simple or highly functionalized amines, an obvious example being amino acids. By using secondary and ⁇ -branched amines, significant rotational constriction of the phosphorus linkage can be achieved, and this constitutes another mechanism for introducing conformational constraint.
  • a primary utility of oligomeric phosphate ester libraries is the screening of such mixtures for binding activity to particular biological targets, including but not limited to proteins, with the objective of identifying therapeutically important molecules.
  • the structures of the oligomers of the present invention that bind with high affinity to a biological target can be deduced using procedures such as that described in commonly assigned, copending U.S. patent application Serial No. 08/223,519, or by the use of encoded libraries similar to those described in Gallop et al . , 1994, or by other methods obvious to those skilled in the art.
  • Glysoaminoglycans are large sulfated oligosaccarides that bind to a range of important regulatory proteins. Work directed at the synthesis of mimetics of these compounds has focused on the preparation of structurally defined heparin oligosaccarides and sulfated dextrans (Lander 1994).
  • Glycosaminoglycans are multiply charged, anionic, sulfated polysaccarides that are typically around 250 saccharide units in length. They are known to modulate a series of biochemical processes by binding to certain polycationic receptor sites on proteins, and play key roles in a conditions as diverse as cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
  • the interaction between the protein and the glycosaminoglycan is mostly electrostatic in nature, and consequently the dissociation constant for these interactions is comparatively large, typically in the range 10 -5 to 10 -8 M.
