The present invention relates to novel amphipathic cyclic peptides, stable self-assembled nanostructures comprising the same, and methods of making the same.

Particulate drug delivery systems are structures in the form of emulsions, liposomes, and nanoparticles that are prepared using oils, lipids, surfactants, or natural and synthetic polymers. Numerous studies on the manufacture, characterization and drug encapsulation of particulate drug delivery systems And the possibility as a drug delivery vehicle has been sufficiently proved. As a representative example, liposome and polymerome are most commonly used. In addition, there are nano emulsion, solid lipid nanoparticle, and supergroup modified nano particle, and in recent years, there have been used a dispersion system, a supramolecule, a polymer, Studies on the nanostructure formation and function expression of soft materials such as liquid crystal have been actively conducted.

Self-assembly is a fundamental technology of nanotechnology, which allows the reproducible nanostructures to be spontaneously formed by artificially controlling the forces that push or pull each other among molecules. These self-assembly techniques are likely to be developed through technological convergence in the fields of biochips, nanotubes, electronic materials and new materials used in disease diagnosis, and nanostructures necessary for the manufacture of highly integrated semiconductors.

Peptide-based self-assembly materials are expected to be used in the development of new nanomaterials, particularly in the field of nanobiotechnology, because of their excellent cognitive ability to specific molecules, various chemical properties, and biocompatibility. In addition, peptides have the same chemical structure as proteins, but have several advantages, including the fact that they are shorter in length, easier to synthesize and mass-produce than proteins, and have wider chemical diversity. However, peptides and peptide epitopes are not typically structured due to short chain lengths and thermodynamic instability, which may limit their usefulness when accurate and stable bases are required, such as in the case of specific molecular recognition.

Various types of peptide amphipathic substances have been developed to date and have been reported to be useful in many biological applications. Despite the unique properties of the cyclic molecule, all peptide amphoteric substances developed so far have a linear peptide molecule Is used. However, nanostructures self-assembled from linear peptide amphipathic substances also tend to be limited in their structural stability because the linear peptides generally have unstable bases.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention prepared an amphipathic substance using a cyclic peptide to prepare a stable self-assembling peptide nano-structure, that is, Or peptidic nano structure capable of mimicking or replacing various biological functions of natural proteins through the improvement and enhancement of existing properties and can be used as a drug carrier.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

An aspect of the present invention relates to a cyclic amphipathic peptide comprising the following structural formula (1).

[Structural formula 1]

R 1 -X m -W n -Y o

In the above formula 1,

Each of X and Y is the same or different and is selected from arginine, tryptophan, cysteine, histidine, isoleucine, methionine, serine, valine, alanine, glycine, leucine, proline, phenylalanine, tyrosine, asparagine and glutamine, Glutamine, and serine,

Wherein R is arginine,

W is tryptophan,

Each of l, m, n and o is independently an integer of 2 to 20.

According to the present invention, the cyclic amphipathic peptide comprising the [structural formula 1] is more preferably an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2.

Further, a method for producing a cyclic amphipathic peptide according to the present invention is characterized by comprising the following steps.

(a) synthesizing a peptide linked to a solid phase, the method comprising the steps of: preparing Arg (pbf) -OH or Gly-OH in which the amino acid sequence of the first amino acid sequence is protected with a protecting group;

(b) synthesizing an amino acid at the terminal of Arg (pbf) -OH or Gly-OH in order to prepare a chain peptide comprising the peptide represented by the structural formula 1;

(c) removing the protecting group at the terminal of the last amino acid of the chain-like peptide sequence and cyclizing it.

In the preparation method according to the present invention, the protecting group of step (a) may be 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc), 2- (phenylsulfonyl) ethoxycarbonyl, trimethylsilylethoxycarbonyl ), 4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenylsulfonyl (Mtr), formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, phenylacetyl, benzoyl, tolyl, phenoxyacetyl, methoxycarbonyl, Butylcarbamate (t-Boc), 2-iodoethoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl (Aloc), carboxybenzyl (CBZ) , 4-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl (MOZ) and 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, and more preferably 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc).

In addition, in the production method according to the present invention, the chain-like peptide of step (b) may have the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2.

Furthermore, in the preparation method according to the present invention, the method of synthesizing the amino acid at the terminal of Arg (pbf) -OH or Gly-OH protected with the protecting group of step (b) can be carried out through repetition of the amide bond. Specifically, water (H 2 O) molecules are released between the amino terminal (N-terminal) of the first amino acid connected to the solid phase and the carboxy terminal (C-terminal) of the newly introduced amino acid, Type peptide can be produced.

In addition, in the production method according to the present invention, the reaction for removing the terminal protecting group of the last amino acid for cyclizing the chain-like peptide of the step (c) can be removed by using piperidine. Specifically, the cyclic amphipathic peptide can be obtained by removing the chain-like peptide connected to the solid phase from the resin and then removing the protecting group at the terminal amino acid.

Meanwhile, the method of removing the chain-like peptide from the resin may be a mixed solvent in which acetic acid, trifluoroethanol, and dichloromethane are mixed at a ratio of 2: 2: 6.

In addition, it is preferable that the protecting group of the amino acid terminal is removed by adding piperidine to dimethylformamide (DMF).

Another aspect of the present invention relates to a self assembled double nanocarrier comprising the cyclic amphipathic peptide, wherein the form is characterized by being in the form of micelles or vesicles.

Conventional linear peptide amphipathic substances tend to agglomerate into irregular entities whereas the amphiphilic cyclic peptides of the present invention form an extended basin along the axis so that hydrophilic and hydrophobic units are stacked together in a two- By connecting the indole rings, regular spheres in the form of micelles or vesicles are formed.

The self-assembled double-nanotransporter has a diameter of 10 to 100 nm. When the size is less than 10 nm, there is a problem that the nanotransducer exits the intravascular space or is easily discharged through elongation. It is accumulated in the liver or the nanocransporter can be removed by macrophages.

The self assembled two-nanotransporter can be used as a drug delivery system capable of delivering various drugs.

At this time, when the hydrophobic drug is loaded, the delivery efficiency of the drug is further improved as a carrier of the drug.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to the imaging agent for diagnosing a disease comprising the self-assembled two-nanocatalyst.

The imaging agent may be used by enclosing one species selected from the group consisting of MRI and CT contrast agents in the nanocarrier.

At this time, the MRI contrast agent is a complex substance of a paramagnetic substance, gadolinium and manganese, and one kind selected from the group consisting of Gd-DTPA, Gd-DTPA-BMA, Gd-DOTA, Gd- , The PET contrast agent is one species selected from the group consisting of radioactive isotopes 18 F, 124 I, 64 Cu, 99 m Tc and 11 In, and can be introduced into the nanotransporter as a chelate DOTA and DTPA complex.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following examples and experimental examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited by the following examples and experimental examples, but the following examples and experimental examples are illustrative of the present invention.

< Example  1> Cyclophilin  A-1 ( CyPA -1)

Step 1: Fmoc - Arg ( pbf ) - OH  or Gly - OH Manufacturing

The first amino acid of the peptide sequence of the present invention, Fmoc-Arg (pbf) -OH or Gly-OH, was preferentially synthesized in the solid phase 2-chlorotrityl resin.

Step 2: Linear Fmoc - Arg - Arg - Arg - Gly - Ser - Tri - Ser - Gly Manufacturing

The synthesis of amino acids using the amino bond after the Fmoc-Arg (pbf) -OH obtained in the above Step 1 was synthesized using a Tribute ™ peptide synthesizer of Protein Technologies, Inc.

In this step, peptides were synthesized using amino acids with Fmoc and a protecting group. Particularly, an amide bond (H 2 O) is bonded between the amino terminal (N-terminal / -NH 2 ) of the amino acid synthesized in the resin and the carboxy terminal (C-terminal / -COOH) (-CO-NH-). &Lt; / RTI &gt;

Step 3: annular Of peptide  Produce

The Fmoc protecting group at the amino terminus of the last amino acid of the chain-like peptide sequence is removed in order to synthesize the synthesized chain peptide as a cyclic peptide. (AcOH) / trifluoroethanol (TFE) / dichloromethane (MC) were mixed at a ratio of 2: 2: 6 in order to separate the peptide from the resin. After 1-2 hours, the solvent was filtered through the filtration method, and the remaining solid resin was discarded and only the filtrate was taken. The same procedure was repeated 3 times. Hexane was added to the filtrate, and acetic acid remaining in the filtrate was removed by azeotropic distillation. The peptide with a protecting group is obtained by adding MC and hexane and evaporating it in the form of a white powder while sequentially repeating the process. Thereafter, a linear peptide and a peptide having a protecting group attached thereto in order to cyclize the peptide of the white powder 2 to 10 times DIPEA was added to 5 to 10 mL of DMF proportional to the number of moles and then transferred to a syringe. To obtain a diluted condition at a high magnification, a DMF solution containing a peptide was added to a mixed solution of PyBOP and HOBt in DMF at a low speed of 0.02 to 0.10 mL per minute through a syringe pump while stirring the solution. The amount of PyBOP and HOBt added was 1 to 5 times as much as the number of moles of the peptide. After the addition was completed, stirring was continued for 5 hours or more for sufficient reaction. DMF was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in MC. Then, a mixture of tert -butyl methyl ether / hexane was added to the mixture to make powder, and the obtained powder and solution were separated three times. The obtained material was treated for 3-4 hours to remove the protecting group by removing the protective group mixed solution of Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA) / Triisopropylsilane (TIS) / Water (H 2 O) at a ratio of 95: 2.5: 2.5 Respectively. A certain amount of tert -butyl methyl ether was added to the mixture to remove the protecting group. The protecting group elimination mixed solution and tert -butyl methyl ether were completely removed by blowing with an inert gas (Ar 2 ) after the reaction. The synthesized linear and cyclic peptides were purified by reversed-phase HPLC and the synthesis was confirmed by comparing the molecular weights using a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. The concentration of synthesized peptides was calculated from the molar extinction coefficient of tryptophan at 280 nm using a spectrophotometer.

< Example  2> Cyclophilin  A-2 ( CyPA -2)

Instead of using the structural formula R 1 -X m -W n -Y o in the first embodiment, a new integer value such as l + 1 or l-1, n + 1 or n-1 is assigned to the l and n values Cyclophilin A-2 was prepared by the same method except that

< Experimental Example  1> Characteristic experiment

(1) Transmission electron microscopy ( TEM )

The cyclic peptide of Example 1 according to the present invention was dissolved in water (5-50 [mu] M) and the nanostructure of these peptides was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

As shown in FIG. 2, it can be seen that as the control group 1, the linear peptide amphipathic substance liPA-1 is an irregularly shaped nano-aggregate (see FIG. 2a), whereas in contrast, the cyclic peptide amphipathic The material cyPA-1 (Example 1) was observed as a regular shaped spherical object having a diameter of about 11 nm (Fig. 2B).

Also, as control 2, a similar tendency was observed during the self-assembly of liPA-2, a linear peptide amphipathic material, and cyPA-2 (Example 2), a cyclic peptide amphipathic material of Example 2 according to the present invention (Figures 2c and 2d).

However, aggregates of the control (liPA-2) exhibited an irregular shape, whereas agglomerates of Example 2 (cyPA-2) were observed to have a homogeneous population of spherical bodies (diameter of about 11 nm).

(2) Atomic force microscope ( AFM ) Measure

The atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to investigate whether chain length affects self-assembly behavior.

Examination by atomic force microscopy (AFM) further proved the shape and homogeneity of the spheres (Figure 2e).

Thus, it can be clearly seen from this that the self-assembly behavior of the linear and cyclic peptide amphipathic substances is significantly different from each other. Linear Peptide Amphipathic materials tend to agglomerate into irregular bodies, while cyclic peptide amphipathic materials form regular spheres.

(3) Circular light dichromaticity  Spectroscopy ( CD ) Measure

In order to examine the self-assembling behavior of the cyclic peptide amphipathic substances of Examples 1 and 2 and the linear peptide amphoteric substances of Controls 1 and 2 according to the present invention through the digestion of peptides, Circular Dichroism Were measured.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, it was confirmed that the circular dichroism spectroscopic spectrum of Example 2 (cyPA-2) and control (liPA-2) according to the present invention had a definite minimum ellipticity of 200-203 nm . This means that the peptides are present mainly in disordered coil states and do not have a well defined secondary structure, and the two peptides strongly represent the negative band at about 223-224 nm. These bands are judged to be the behavior of tryptophan expected from the exciton bond generated by aromatic chromophores in which indoles are stacked together.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 3A, the temperature-dependent CD spectra of control group 2 (liPA-2) showed a sharp linear decrease of the average residue ellipticity at 224 nm. At the high temperature (84 ° C), the normalized cohesion was reduced to 62% compared to the normalized cohesion at 4 ° C, whereas the ellipticity at 223 nm for Example 2 (cyPA-2) And the cohesion was maintained at about 82% even at a high temperature of 84 DEG C (see FIG. 3B).

Thus, it has been found that the cyclic peptide amphipathic material according to the present invention forms nanostructures that are more rigid and superior in thermal stability than linear peptide amphipathic materials, even though they use the same cohesive mechanism as linear peptide amphipathic materials.

(4) Fluorescence spectroscopy ( Fluorescence spectroscopy )

On the other hand, since the indole chromophore in tryptophan is very sensitive to the characteristics of the local environment, the intrinsic fluorescence of tryptophan can be used to investigate changes in the protein conformation and interaction with other molecules. In order to measure the fluorescence generated from the tryptophan residue, fluorescence generated by excitation at 280 nm was measured. This was done by using fluorescence spectrophotometry at various concentrations of peptides to determine the minimum threshold concentration at which peptides synthesized nanostructures begin to self-assemble.

As a result of graphically showing fluorescence intensities at 350 nm as a function of peptide concentration in the graphs of FIGS. 3C and 3D, both of the control 2 (liPA-2) and the inventive example 2 (cyPA-2) A significant increase in tryptophan fluorescence was observed at concentrations ranging from 20 μM to 20 μM. Above a certain concentration, the fluorescence intensity of the two peptides increased sharply, and it was determined that this discontinuous intensity change probably reflected the onset of aggregation and the critical aggregation concentration (CAC).

In addition, the CAC of the peptides was calculated using the intersection of the linear regression lines. As a result, the CAC values for liPA-2 and cyPA-2 were 5.7 μM and 3.3 μM, respectively. The CAC values for the cyclic peptide amphipathic material were slightly lower than the CAC values for the corresponding linear peptide amphoteric material, but the difference was not significant.

Meanwhile, in the case of Example 2 according to the present invention, the molecular length is about 2.5-3.0 nm, which depends on the peptide donor. When the molecular length is fitted to the spherical micelle model, the diameter of the observed spherical nano- ) Of about 5-6 nm in diameter. Also, the diameter of the self-assembled spherical nano-body of Example 1 (cyPA-1) according to the present invention is also well suited to the vesicle model.

The follicular model is in good agreement with the molecular length of the peptides. The cyclic peptides form a basin extending along the axis, linking the hydrophilic and hydrophobic units and the indole rings of tryptophan stacked on each other in a bilayer structure, Were found to be in good agreement with the CD data.

Thus, in view of the molecular length of the cyclic peptide amphipathic substance according to the present invention, not only is it self-assembled into a specifically small two-ply follicular nanostructure, but also the unique self-assembly of the cyclic peptide amphipathic substance according to the present invention, The assembly behavior, the high thermal stability and the formation of a considerably small follicle structure appears to be due to their constrained structure and the entropy advantage of the ring phase during the self-assembly process.

< Experimental Example  2> Cytotoxicity test ( Cytotoxicity Assay )

After identifying the self-assembly behavior of linear and cyclic peptide amphipathic substances, it is important to examine how these amphipathic substances interact with mammalian cells and to obtain their differentiated cytotoxicity patterns in potential cellular applications Do. For this purpose, in order to confirm the presence or absence of toxicity in the cells of the synthesized peptides, WST-1 assay was used in HeLa cells.

Cell lines of subcultured HeLa cells were subjected to cytotoxicity tests. HeLa cells were subcultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) to obtain 10 4 cells. Various concentrations of peptides were added thereto, followed by incubation. After a certain period of time, WST-1 solution was added , And the cytotoxicity was obtained by measuring the absorbance at 450 nm after 4 hours.

As a result, as shown in Fig. 4, both the cyclic peptide cyPA-2 according to the present invention and the linear peptide, liPA-2, as a control group, were not found to be toxic within the test concentration range, .

It has been found that this similar level of cytotoxicity prevents the free diffusion of each of the amphipathic components to the cell surface and that the cytotoxicity of the peptide amphipathic substances is highly proportional to their CAC, It is believed that the CACs of the amphipathic cyclic peptide and the linear peptide are similar.
