More specifically, the invention relates to prodrugs of thalidomide and prodrugs of certain analogs of thalidomide, which comprise a thalidomide or analog component having bound thereto the dipeptide sequence X-pro, wherein "X" is one of a wide variety of amino acids and "pro” represents the imino acid proline.
  • Thalidomide was first described in 1953 by Ciba and subsequently marketed by Chemic Grunenthal as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of epilepsy. The drug proved ineffective for this purpose; nevertheless it did induce good sleep. It achieved wide use in Europe as a "safe” alternative to barbiturates and later was used as an anti-emetic agent in pregnant women. The compound appeared so nontoxic in rodent models that an LD50 could not be established. In 1961, however, limb defects in babies from mothers using thalidomide during pregnancy were described. Thalidomide proved to be a potent teratogen and was removed from the market due to extreme concerns about the threat of handicapping new generations of people by its teratogenic side effects.

  • Proline the only mammalian imino acid, confers unique restraints on the conformation of a peptide chain, and many biologically important peptide sequences contain conserved site location prolines.

  • proline When present inside an a-helix, proline also sterically prevents the amide nitrogen of its C-terminal neighbor from making a hydrogen bond with a carboxyl in the preceding turn of the helix and thus introduces a kink of 20 degrees or more in the ⁇ -helix.

It is believed that only the serine protease DPP-IV can cleave the Pro-Z peptide bond (the bond between proline and any amino acid except proline on the carboxy terminus side of proline). The rate of hydrolysis is further affected by whether proline is in the cis or trans state and which amino acid is positioned to the right (Z); a pro-pro bond cannot be cleaved.

It is preferentially expressed on the cells with CD4* helper/memory (CDx29 ) determinants.

  • DPP-IV is induced in the CL phase following mitogen activation of the T-cell and is essential for the transition from CI to S phase of the cell cycle. In the course of T-cell stimulation in vitro, DPP-IV activity increases by a factor of 4 to 8 with peak activity at day 3 or 4. The expression of cell surface-associated DPP-IV parallels the capacity of the T-cell to produce IL-2. Active-site-specific agents to inhibit the enzyme have shown that membrane bound DPP-IV plays a key role in T-cell mediated immune response.
