Description

(54) OLIGOPEPTIDES (71) We, RECKITT & COLMAN PRODUCTS LIMITED, a British Company, of P.O. Box 26, 1/17 Burlington Lane London W4, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: This invention relates to peptides, to processes for their preparation and to therapeutic compositions thereof.

The symbols used herein for amino-acid derivatives are those customarily used in peptide chemistry such as are set out in Biochem. J. 126, 773 (1972). All amino-acid residues are of the natural or L-configuration unless specified otherwise.
The invention also provides therapeutic compositions comprising a compound of the formula, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salt thereof, in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
The compounds of the invention exhibit pharmacological activity when tested in the transmurally stimulated mouse vas deferens preparation described in Henderson G, Hughes J, Kosterlitz H, Brit. J. Pharmacol. 46, 764-766, (1972). Types of drug which show activity in this test include local anaesthetics, smooth muscle depressants, adrenegeric neuron blocking agents, presynaptic a-receptor stimulants, ss-stimulants and narcotic agonists. The compounds of the invention may therefore have use in man where such types of drug are employed. Additionally since the compounds are peptides they may be used as intermediates in the preparation of further peptides which include such amino-acid sequences.
The compounds of the invention may be prepared by the standard methods of peptide chemistry.
Thus they may be produced by sequential coupling, usually from C-terminus, of suitably protected and activated amino acids by either classical solution methods or solid phase procedures, or by coupling fragments consisting of suitably protected peptides, Details concerning the selection of protecting groups and methods for their incorporation as well as suitable reaction conditions for forming amido (peptide) linkages and removal of protecting groups may be found in the following references: (a) Houben Weyl Methoden der Organischen Chemie Vol. 16 Parts I and II Synthese von Peptiden (Thiem 1974) (b) Schrdder & Lübke "The Peptides" Academic Press (1965) Thus the compounds of formula I may be prepared by condensing a compound of formula II Y-M,-OH II where Y is a N-protecting group and M1 is a protected amino acid or peptide residue, with a compound of formula III H-M2-Q III where M2 is a protected amino acid or peptide residue and Q is a carboxyl protecting group. The coupling of II and III may be achieved by the standard methods of peptide synthesis either with or without isolation of the activated component corresponding to the compound of formula II. The removal of either of the protecting groups Y or Q from the coupled product affords a further compound analogous to respectively formula III or formula II which can be further coupled with respectively a compound of formula II or III.
This process is then repeated until the desired peptide is constructed.
The invention is illustrated by the following non-limiting Examples in which temperatures are in degrees centigrade.

Abu = D-a-aminobutyric acid m.p.'s are of hydrochlorides Cpm = cyclopropylmethyl Aib = a-aminoisobutyric acid In the above mentioned test method of Henderson et al male albino mice (OLA MFI strain) are killed by a blow on the head and the vasa deferentia removed and set up in an isolated organ bath of 22 ml volume. A 'twitch' response is produced by low frequency ((1.1 Hz) stimulation with 0.1 msec rectiliniar pulses. The response is depressed by a large number of different pharmacologically active agents (local anaesthetics. smooth muscle depressants, adrenergic neuron blocking agents. presynaptic α-receptor stimulants, -stimulants and narcotic agonists) but it is possible to differentiate between depression of twitch produced by narcotic agonists and depression produced by other mechanisms. by repeating the test in the presence of a narcotic antagonist naloxone [The test has been shown to be an extremely specific method of detecting narcotic agonist and antagonist activity (Hughes J, Kosterlitz H, Leslie F M. Brit. J. Pharmacol 51. 139-140.)].
A test compound is dissolved in distilled water to produce a stock solution of concentration l mg/ml. Serial dilutions are carried out using Krebs solution to produce concentrations of 10 tig, l Iig and o.l Fg/ml. The compound is tested by adding between 0.1-0.3 ml of the solutions to the organ bath. A dose response curve is then drawn and compared with that for dihydromorphine. In this test H-Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-NH i-Am possessed approximately 11 times the activity of dihydromorphine calculated on a weight basis whilst Me-Tvr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-NH i-Am has approximately 9 times the activity.
The compounds of the invention have also been screened for antidiarrhoeal activity according to the method of Boura. A.L.A., Fitzgerald. A.E., Brit. J. Pharmac., 26, 307 (1966). In this test H-Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-NH i-Am when administered i.v. to mice had an ED50 of 4.7 mg/Kg whilst Me-Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-NH i-Am had an ED50 of 0.39 mg/Kg.
The therapeutic compositions may be in a form suitable for oral administration or in a form suitable for parenteral administration. Such oral compositions may take the form of capsules. tablets. granules or liquid preparations such as elixirs, syrups or suspensions.
Compositions intended for parenteral administration may be in the form if sterile preparations such as solutions in water or salinc.
For the purposes of convenience of accuracv of dosing the compositions are advantageously employed in a unit dosage form.
