Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with reagents and compositions thereof which reduce blood clot formation.
  • Blood clotting relies upon a series or cascade of activating reactions to produce the ultimate fibrin clot.
  • the cascade leading to fibrin formation may be triggered initially in two different ways - by contact with abnormal surfaces (the "intrinsic pathway") or by traumatization of blood vessels which causes secretion of the lipoprotein known as "tissue factor” or TF (the “extrinsic pathway”).
  • the present invention is primarily concerned with the extrinsic blood clotting pathway.
  • the zymogen form is converted to the fully enzymatically active form FVIIa by factor X and other coagulation proteases through hydrolysis of a single peptide bond Arg 152 - lie 153 .
  • the light chain of 152 amino acid residues contains at its amino terminal part the y- carboxy-glutamic acid (Gla) domain, followed by two epidermal growth factor-like domains (EGF-l and EGF-2) .
  • the heavy chain consists of 254 residues and contains the trypsin- like catalytic domain.
  • FVIIa The function of FVIIa is activation of factor X (FX) by complexation with tissue factor (TF) in the presence of Ca 2+ on a phospholipid membrane surface. Activation of FX to FX a leads to formation of blood clots by the extrinsic pathway. Additionally, the complex FVII a /TF can activate factor IX to factor IX a and lead to clotting through the intrinsic pathway.
  • TF is an integral membrane protein which appears on many cell types. However, cells which constitutively express TF, for example the muscle cells of vessels intima, are not normally exposed to blood (see Edgington et al., Thromb. Haemostas. 66 (1) : 67-69 (1991)). Thus initiation of the extrinsic blood clotting pathway appears to require either the disruption of blood vessel walls (see Almus et al . , Blood 26: 354-360 (1990)) and/or activation of endothelial cells or monocytes to express TF (see Edwards et al . , Blood 5_4: 359-370 (1979) and Bevilaqua et al .
  • TF may also be exposed following injury to blood vessels during thrombolytic therapy, surgery for grafting, mechanical restoration of vessel patency or other similar techniques.
  • TF expression in endothelial cells or in monocytes may be induced during sepsis due to production of tumour necrosis factor- ⁇ or interleukin-1 (see Edwards et al . , supra and Gregory et al., J. Clin. Invest. 76.: 2440-2445 (1985)).
  • One proposed way of providing potential therapeutic agents capable of preventing the primary event in blood clot formation through the extrinsic pathway would thus be to identify peptides derived from the primary structure of FVII which are capable of inhibiting the complex formation between FVII, TF and FX, which is necessary for FX activation.
  • Peptides corresponding to sequence portions between the Gla and EGF-1 domains as well as from the catalytic domain were disclosed in WO91/07432 (Board of Regents, The University of Texas System) as being useful in the treatment of blood clotting disorders. Although inhibition of the FVIIa/TF complex is discussed, those peptides which cause an effect do so by inhibition of the Gla function. Such peptides are therefore unspecific in their action since other physiological proteins have Gla domains. Hence the function of proteins with Gla domains would be disturbed by administration of the disclosed peptides.
  • a particular peptide from the EGF-2 domain was disclosed in WO90/03390 (Corvas, Inc.) as having potential uses in preventing the formation of the fully formed FVIIa/TF complex.
  • the sequence -SDHTGTKRSCR- which is located at amino acids 103-113 of FVII or analogues thereof is said to inhibit the cascade reaction initited by FVIIa/TF complex.
  • Other regions, namely from amino acids 50 to 101 and 114 to 127 in the EGF-2 domain were shown to be inactive in the inhibition of FX activation by FVIIa/TF.
  • WO95/00541 Novartis a number of small peptides from the EGF-1 and EGF-2 domains are disclosed which may be useful in treating blood clotting disorders. Particularly, peptides corresponding to the amino acids 91 to 104 and 114-127 of the FVII sequence are said to be active.
  • the FVII:EGF-2 like domain and in particular the primary binding loop is essential to the tripod interaction.
  • the EGF-2 domain interacts with TF via the C-terminal part of the loop, residues 88-93 and with the catalytic domain via the N-terminal part of the loop, residues 98-103.
  • the EGF-2 domain and in particular the primary binding loop is sandwiched between the cofactor and the catalytic domain (See figure 2) .
  • the interdomain interaction is basically a ligand/receptor interaction.
  • the EGF-2 loop structure is the ligand and the internal receptor in the catalytic domain is defined by residues Leu 263 , Pro 264 , Glu 265 , Phe 268 , Ser 269 , Tyr 357 and Arg 353 .
  • the main interaction is an aromatic stacking involving the side chains of Tyr 101 in the EGF-2 domain and Phe 268 , and Tyr 357 in the catalytic domain (See figure 3) .
  • Gin 100 makes hydrophobic contact with His 115 and Tyr 118 in the EGF-2 domain and Thr 267 in the catalytic domain.
  • the side chain of Arg 100 is incorrectly positioned and disturbs the important interaction between EGF-2 and the catalytic domain.

Appropriate peak fractions were collected, pooled and lyophilised to afford the pure cyclic peptide diastereomers (9.27 mg, isomer 1; 2.70 mg, isomer 2). Anal.
  • This peptide was synthesised using chain assembly (using Fmoc-Orn (Boc) -OH and Fmoc-Tyr (Bu fc ) -OH in the appropriate acylation cycles) , cleavage, deprotection, cyclisation (of the fully deprotected linear precursor at high dilution in basic aqueous solution) and purification methods analogous to those described in Example 6.
  • the following analytical details for the title compound were recorded: Anal.
  • RP-HPLC: t R 15.6 min, 99% purity at 215 nm (Vydac 218TP54, 1 mL/min, 0 to 12% MeCN in 0.1% aq CF 3 COOH over 20 min) .
  • Peptide chain assembly The capped Boc-Abu-resin was then deprotected by treatment with 25 % CF 3 COOH / CH 2 C1 2 during 30 min. After draining, the resin was washed with CH 2 C1 2 and was then reacted with Boc- Tyr(2BrZ)-0H (5 eq) , HOBt (5 eq) , PyBOP (5 eq) and Pr ⁇ NEt (20 eq) in DMF for 2 h. Further peptide chain extension was then achieved similarly by applying alternating deprotection and coupling steps. The amino acid derivatives Boc-Gln-OH, Boc-Glu (OBn) -OH and Boc- Abu-OH were used successively. The Boc-Abu-Glu (OBn) -Gln- Tyr(2BrZ) -Abu-resin was finally obtained after washing with CH 2 C1 2 , Et 2 0 and drying.

Abstract

Cette invention a trait à un composé capable d'interagir avec le récepteur interne du domaine catalytique du facteur VII défini par les restes Leu?263, Pro264, Glu265, Phe268, Ser269, Tyr357 et Arg353¿ ou avec le ligand défini par les restes Cys?98-Cys102¿ du domaine EGF-2 du facteur FVII et ce, afin d'empêcher la formation d'un complexe fonctionnel FVIIa/TF, à l'exclusion du peptide des acides aminés 82 à 128 du facteur FVII et de ses équivalents fonctionnels chez qui des acides aminés de la séquence sont modifiés ou bien sont absents. Elle a, notamment, trait au composé bisulfure-cyclo-[H-Cys-Glu-Gln-Tyr-Cys-OH].
