Definitions
- Vancomycin is considered to be the last line of defense against many serious bacterial infections. The finding of vancomycin resistance strains of pathogenic bacteria is alarming; it portends the rise of multidrug resistant pathogens that would be untreatable with currently available drugs. The fear is that we will, in effect, return to the pre-antibiotic era unless new antibiotics are developed soon.
- lantibiotics There is a small, structurally novel class of antibiotics called lantibiotics (Class I bacteriocins) which can be divided into 5 subclasses based on differences in their chemistry and biosynthesis: Type A(I), Type A(II), Type B, Two-Component and those of unknown structures.
- This class of antibiotics has been known for decades but has not been extensively tested for their potential usefulness in treating infectious diseases even though many lantibiotics are known to be both potent and have a broad spectrum of activity, notably against gram positive species. The principal reason for this is the general difficulty of obtaining these molecules in sufficient, cost effective amounts to enable their testing and commercialization.
- Nisin A ( Figure 1) provides a good example of a lantibiotic, and of the number and types of chemical complexities associated with lantibiotics.
- Lantibiotics are rich in the sulfur-containing amino acids, lanthionine (Lan, ala-S-ala) and, frequently, 3-methyl- lanthionine (MeLan, abu-S-ala).
- Lan consists of alanine residues that are connected via thioether bridges to create ring structures that are critical for bioactivity. Typically there are 3-5 such rings on a lantibiotic, and often many of the rings overlap with each other.
- Lan and MeLan are believed to invariably have the maso-stereochemistry.
- Lan and MeLan residues there may be other post-translationally modified amino acids (Figure 2) found in lantibiotics, such as 2,3-didehydroalanine (Dha), 2,3 didehydrobutyrine (Dhb), unsaturated lanthionine derivatives such as S-amino vinyl-D-cysteine (AviCys) and S-amino- D-methylcysteine, as well as D-alanine, 2-oxopro ⁇ ionyl, 2-oxobutyryl, and hydroxypropionyl residues.
- the ring structures made by Lan and MeLan may be overlapped (e.g., rings D and E), further adding to the complexity of the molecule.
- Gram positive bacteria are responsible for biosynthesis of the known lantibiotics. They make the mature molecule using a series of sequential enzymatic steps that act on a ribosomally synthesized prepropeptide.
- the genes responsible for encoding the modifying enzymes are typically clustered on an 8-10 Kb DNA fragment that may reside on the chromosome, a plasmid, or as part of a transposon.
- Type A(I) lantibiotics all the serine and threonine residues in the ribosomally synthesized prepeptide encoded by the lanA gene are dehydrated by an enzyme encoded by the lanB gene and these dehydrated amino acids are involved in the formation of thioether linkages to a nearby cysteine residue that is situated more toward the carboxyl end of the molecule. This reaction is catalyzed by the protein expressed by the lanC gene.
- the C-terminal cysteine is decarboxylated by the enzyme expressed by the lanD gene and converted into an S-amino vinyl-D-cysteine.
- the leader sequence of the modified prepropeptide is then cleaved by an extracellular protease encoded by lanP to produce mature antibiotic.

- Nisin A produced by Streptococcus lactis
- the long-term, widespread use of Nisin A without the development of significant resistance has provided a strong impetus to develop additional lantibiotics for various applications.
- Nisin A Large scale production of Nisin A is performed using a fermentation process that has been refined over the years.
- a purification protocol for Nisin A has recently been filed as a US patent (USPA 2004/0072333). The protocol utilized a cocktail of expensive proteases followed by column chromatography. However, there is no published, commercially viable procedure for the purification of Nisin A. This demonstrates the current interest in finding an adequate method of producing pure Nisin A and other lantibiotics for therapeutic applications.
- Molecules belonging to this group and Type B lantibiotics use only a single multiheaded enzyme, LanM, to accomplish the formation of the Dha, Dhb, Lan, and MeLan residues.
- LanM multiheaded enzyme
- a third option for commercial scale production of lantibiotics using the lan gene cluster cloned into appropriate expression vector(s) and a non-sensitive host is unlikely due to the complexity of the system and the likely need for differentially regulating expression of the various genes involved.
- the lan gene cluster for gallidermin has been cloned into Bacillus subtilis in an attempt to improve production of this particular lantibiotic.
- this strategy did not result in greatly increased yields and will not be suitable for all lantibiotics since gene regulatory sites are known to vary from species to species.
- the composition of the molecules is not limited to the normal set of physiological amino acids; it is possible to design amino acid analogs and incorporate them using well-established solid phase synthesis methods. Parallel synthesis can also be brought to bear, thereby dramatically increasing the number of substrate candidates. Because the approach is performed entirely in vitro, many of the concerns that arise from in vivo syntheses of bioactive molecules are eliminated. For example, degradation of products during fermentation would not be a concern, nor would the cytotoxic effects of the bioactive molecule on the producer microorganism be of concern.
- orthogonal lanthionines with potentially suitable protecting groups have been designed for SPPS using different approaches, such as the Michael addition of cysteine to preformed Dha. Probert et ah, (1996) Tetrahedron Letters. 37, 1101-1104. This method led to a 1:1 mixture of diastereomers and, hence, was shown to have little commercial value.
- the ring opening of serine lactone with protected cysteines has also been reported but this led to a mixture of lanthionines and thioesters.
- the ring opening of aziridines has been investigated but was shown to produce regioisomeric mixtures due to opening of the aziridine at the a and ⁇ position.

- a characteristic of many protecting groups is that they can be removed readily, i.e., without the occurrence of undesired secondary reactions, for example by solvolysis, reduction, photolysis, by the use of organometallic catalysis such as organopalladium and organocobalt catalysts, or alternatively under physiological conditions.
- protecting groups are known in the art.

- the amino terminal protecting groups are selected from the group consisting of Fmoc, Alloc, and IvDde.
- the carboxy terminal protecting groups are selected from the group consisting of propargyl ester and benzyl ester.
- the orthogonally protected intramolecular bridge is an orthogonally protected lanthionine or lanthionine derivative.

- the intramolecularly bridged polypeptides of the invention can be synthesized by any means providing for the use and incorporation of orthogonally protected intramolecular bridges, including, but not limited to, solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), solution phase peptide synthesis, native chemical ligation, intein-mediated protein ligation, and chemical ligation, or a combination thereof.
- SPPS solid phase peptide synthesis
- the intramolecularly bridge polypeptides of the invention are synthesized using a modified version of standard SPPS.
- the intramolecularly bridged polypeptides of the invention may be synthesized by either manual SPPS or by using commercially available automated SPPS synthesizers.
- the subsequent amino acid to be added to the peptide chain is protected on its amino terminus with Boc, Fmoc, or another suitable protecting group, and its carboxy terminus is activated with a standard coupling reagent.
- the free amino terminus of the support-bound amino acid is allowed to react with the subsequent amino acid, coupling the two amino acids.
- the amino terminus of the growing peptide chain is deprotected, and the process is repeated until the desired polypeptide is completed.
- intramolecularly bridged peptides may be synthesized by incorporating differentially protected orthogonal intramolecular bridges into standard SPPS.
- the portions of the polypeptide chain that are not part of the intramolecular bridge may be synthesized by standard SPPS techniques known in the art.
- amino terminally Fmoc- or Boc-protected amino acids are utilized.
- Fmoc-based SPPS is used.
- the differentially protected orthogonal intramolecular bridges are incorporated into the polypeptide chain through selective deprotection of its active amino and carboxy groups.
- the methods of the invention may be used to synthesize an intramolecularly bridged polypeptide having a single intramolecular bridge as shown in general Formula III:
- L represents covalently bound amino acid side chains
- D and E are amino terminus protecting groups
- G is a carboxy terminus protecting group.
- the intramolecular bridge is coupled through its free carboxy terminus to a peptide chain attached to a solid support, or directly to the solid support. Additional amino acids are coupled to the free amino terminus of the intramolecular bridge following its deprotection (removal of E).
- the protecting group (G) on the remaining carboxy group of the intramolecular bridge is removed and the carboxy group is coupled to the free amino terminus of the polypeptide chain so formed. Additional amino acids may optionally be subsequently added to the remaining amino group.
- D is selected so that the reaction conditions for the removal of protecting group D do not result in the removal of E or G and/or of the amino protecting group of the amino acids of the remainder of the polypeptide chain.
- D is selected so that it can be selectively cleaved under conditions that do not remove E, G, and/or Fmoc.
- D and G are selected so that the conditions for the removal of Fmoc do not result in the cleavage of D or G.
- amino protecting group E is equivalent to the amino protecting group of the amino acids of the polypeptide chain that are not part of the intramolecular bridge. Therefore, where, for example, Fmoc-based SPPS is used, E is preferably Fmoc.
- Solid support refers to any solid phase material upon which a polypeptide is synthesized. Solid support encompasses terms such as "resin”, “solid phase”, and “support”.
- a solid support may be composed of organic polymers such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyfluoroethylene, polyethyleneoxy, and polyacrylamide, as well as co-polymers and grafts thereof.
- a solid support may also be inorganic, such as glass, silica, controlled-pore-glass (CPG), or reverse-phase silica with suitable groups on which the amino acids can be attached and cleaved in a facile manner.
- the configuration of a solid support may be in the form of beads, spheres, particles, granules, or a surface. Surfaces may be planar, substantially planar, or non-planar. Solid supports may be porous or non-porous, and may have swelling or non-swelling characteristics. A solid support may be configured in the form of a well, depression or other vessel. A plurality of solid supports may be configured in an array, addressable for robotic delivery of reagents, or by detection means including scanning by laser illumination and confocal or deflective light gathering. Many solid supports are commercially available. The coupling of the first amino acid to the solid support may be monitored for completion by assays known in the art.
- Fmoc amino acids are used in the synthesis of the polypeptide chain.
- Fmoc amino acids are commercially available or can be synthesized by methods known in the art. Additional amino acids may be added to the polypeptide chain using standard SPPS methodology. Where, for example, Fmoc amino acids are used, the Fmoc amino protecting group of the C-terminal amino acid, once coupled to the resin, can be removed by, for example, exposure to 20% piperidine in DMF. The next Fmoc amino acid may be coupled to the polypeptide chain using standard coupling chemistry. Amino acids having reactive side chains may be protected with suitable protecting groups so their side chains remain protected throughout the synthesis of the intramolecularly bridged polypeptide of interest. The steps of coupling and deprotection may be repeated as desired using the appropriate amino acids. This completes the synthesis of X 3 of general formula III.
- the intramolecular bridge is coupled to the growing polypeptide chain through standard coupling chemistry. Alternatively, if the intramolecular bridge falls at the C- terminal end of the intramolecularly bridged polypeptide, the intramolecular bridge may be coupled directly to the resin through its free carboxy group. Protecting group E is then selectively removed under appropriate conditions, for example using 20% piperidine in DMF where E is Fmoc. Referring to general formula III, R 2 is now coupled to the polypeptide chain. One or more amino acids may be subsequently added to the polypeptide chain through sequential coupling and deprotection (X 2 of general formula III).
- G is either a propargyl group, which may be cleaved using dicobalt- octacarbonyl in dichloromethane, or benzyl ester, which may be cleaved using a hydrogenation protocol that uses palladium on charcoal and cyclohexadiene in dichloromethane.
- Protecting group D may then be selectively deprotected under appropriate conditions.
- D is either Alloc, which may be cleaved using 20 mol% Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 and 20-25 equivalents PhSiH 3 in dichloromethane, or ivDde, which can be cleaved by 2-10% hydrazine in DMF.
- the intramolecularly bridged polypeptide may be subsequently lengthened through sequential coupling and deprotection of additional amino acids (X 1 in general formula III).
- Intramolecularly bridged polypeptides with multiple rings in series, i.e. having more than one intramolecular bridge may be similarly synthesized using a single differentially protected intramolecular bridge.
- differentially protected intramolecular bridge differing from each other only by their protecting groups, may be used to synthesize a polypeptide having multiple rings.
- Multiple differentially protected intramolecular bridges varying in their side chain structure (e.g. Lan and MeLan), may also be used to incorporate different intramolecularly bridged moieties.
- the protecting groups on such subsequent bridges may be the same or different than the protecting groups on the first intramolecular bridge incorporated into the polypeptide chain.
- the intramolecularly bridged polypeptide with multiple rings in series is synthesized by completely incorporating a first intramolecular bridge into the polypeptide chain, forming the first ring structure, removing the terminal amino protecting group, optionally extending the polypeptide chain through sequential coupling and deprotection of additional amino acids, completely incorporating a second intramolecular bridge (same or different than the first intramolecular bridge) through its carboxy terminus, optionally extending the polypeptide, and repeating these steps as desired to synthesize the target intramolecularly bridge polypeptide.
- more than one orthogonally protected intramolecular bridge must be used. While the side chain structures of the multiple orthogonally protected intramolecular bridges may be the same or different, the protecting groups must be differentially orthogonally protected to permit the selective deprotection of their respective amino and carboxy groups. The number of such bridges depends on the number of overlapping or embedded rings.
- L 1 and L 2 represent covalently bound amino acid side chains (L 1 may be the same or different than L 2 ), D, M, E 5 and Q are amino terminus protecting groups, and G and T are carboxy terminus protecting groups; wherein D and M are cleavable only under different conditions; wherein E and Q may be cleaved under the same conditions; wherein E and Q are cleaved under conditions different from those that will cleave D and those that will cleave M; and wherein G and T are cleavable only under different conditions.
- amino protecting groups E and Q are equivalent to the amino protecting group of the amino acids of the polypeptide chain that are not part of the intramolecular bridge. Therefore, where, for example, Fmoc-based SPPS is used, E and Q are preferably Fmoc, but are not so limited. In such a situation, E and Q may also be, for example, Boc.
- an intramolecularly bridged polypeptide containing two overlapping rings may be synthesized by first coupling of the C-terminal amino acid to a solid support. Additional amino acids may be optionally added to the polypeptide chain using standard SPPS methodology. In a preferred embodiment, Fmoc amino acids are used in the synthesis of the polypeptide chain. Amino acids having reactive side chains may be protected with suitable protecting groups so their side chains remain protected throughout the synthesis of the intramolecularly bridged polypeptide of interest. The steps of coupling and deprotection may be repeated as desired using the appropriate amino acids. The intramolecular bridge of general formula V is then coupled to the growing peptide chain through its free carboxy group, and E is subsequently cleaved.
- D and G remain unaffected.
- E is Fmoc.
- One or more amino acids may then optionally be sequentially coupled to the free amino terminus of the polypeptide by cycling through coupling and deprotection steps in accordance with standard SPPS.
- the intramolecular bridge of general formula VI is coupled to the growing peptide chain through its free carboxy group, and Q is subsequently cleaved.
- D, G, M, and T remain unaffected.
- Q is Fmoc.
- one or more amino acids may then optionally be sequentially coupled to the free amino terminus of the polypeptide.
- G is then cleaved using appropriate deprotection chemistry and the resulting free carboxy group is coupled to the free amino terminus of the polypeptide chain.
- Protecting groups D, M, and T remain unaffected.
- protecting group D is removed under suitable conditions, exposing a free amino group.
- Protecting groups M and T remain unaffected during the cleavage of D. Additional amino acids may then optionally be coupled to the free amino group at the N-terminus of the polypeptide.
- T is cleaved under suitable conditions and the resulting free carboxy group is coupled to the free amino terminus of the polypeptide chain.
- an intramolecularly bridged polypeptide containing two embedded rings may be similarly synthesized using two differentially protected orthogonal intramolecular bridges of general formulas V and VI.
- the synthesis of intramolecularly bridged polypeptide containing two embedded rings is comparable to the synthesis of an intramolecularly bridged polypeptide containing two overlapping rings, differing only in the order of deprotection and coupling of the intramolecular bridges of formulas V and VI.
- the intramolecular bridge of formula V is coupled to the free amino terminus of a peptide chain linked through its carboxy terminus to a solid support, or the intramolecular bridge of formula V is coupled directly to the solid support.
- E is subsequently cleaved, and one or more amino acids may then optionally be sequentially coupled to the free amino terminus of the polypeptide by cycling through coupling and deprotection steps in accordance with standard SPPS.
- the intramolecular bridge of general formula VI is coupled to the growing peptide chain through its free carboxy group, and Q is subsequently cleaved. Again, one or more amino acids may then optionally be sequentially coupled to the free amino terminus of the polypeptide.
- T is then cleaved using appropriate deprotection chemistry and the resulting free carboxy group is coupled to the free amino terminus of the polypeptide chain.
- protecting group M is removed under suitable conditions, exposing a free amino group. Additional amino acids may then optionally be coupled to the free amino group at the N-terminus of the polypeptide.
- G is cleaved under suitable conditions and the resulting free carboxy group is coupled to the free amino terminus of the polypeptide chain.
- Protecting group D may then be cleaved under appropriate conditions, and the polypeptide chain further extended through the sequential coupling of additional amino acids.
- a polypeptide having two overlapping rings, and 3 additional rings in series may be synthesized by combining the methods disclosed for the synthesis of intramolecularly bridged polypeptides containing overlapping rings with the methods disclosed for the synthesis of intramolecularly bridged polypeptides having rings in series.
- the progress and accuracy of the synthesis may optionally be monitored by various techniques known in the art, including, but not limited to, Maldi and LC-MS.
- the intramolecularly bridged polypeptide is cleaved from the solid support under suitable conditions.
- a TFA/thioanisole/water/phenol/ethanedithiol (82.5/5/5/2.5) cocktail may be used. Progress of the cleavage reaction may be monitored periodically by LC-MS or another suitable technique. Dependent on the side chain protecting groups selected, their cleavage may be effected during cleavage of the polypeptide from the resin, or alternatively in a separate step.
- the final product may be isolated by, for example, precipitation from cold ether, and purified by known methods including, but not limited to, reverse phase HPLC.
- the intramolecularly bridged polypeptides of the invention may be analyzed structurally and for biochemical function by known techniques. Structural analysis may be achieved by techniques including, but not limited to, 2-dimensional NMR and X-ray crystallography. Intramolecularly bridged polypeptides have been successfully analyzed structurally using 2-dimensional NMR TOCSY acquired at 60 ms mixing time (Braunschweiler & Ernst (1983), Journal of Magnetic Resonance 53, 521-528) and NOESY acquired at 200 ms, 400 ms, 450 ms.

- the methods of the invention are used to synthesize lantibiotics.

- the structural analysis Nisin A and analogs thereof synthesized by the methods of the invention may be aided by comparison to the three dimensional structure of biologically produced Nisin A, previously determined by Van De Yen et al. by NMR (1991, European Journal of Biochemistry 202, 1181-1188). From the amino acid assignments made from this earlier covalent structure determination work, it is possible to quickly characterize the covalent linkages and identify all the relevant long range NOEs for the structural determination of Nisin A and analogs thereof synthesized by the methods of the invention.
- DPOLT is a platform technology that arose from a multidisciplinary approach. There are several advantages that make this technology so desirable. First and foremost, it will enable quick synthesis and screening of a substantial number of candidate lantibiotics and other bioactive peptides for their potential application in the realm of therapeutics without having to devote large amounts of time and expense to devising fermentation and purification methods for their analysis. There are approximately 50 lantibiotics containing overlapping thioether bridges, with more being discovered each year, that may be synthesized by the methods disclosed herein.
- lantibiotics include Type A(I) lantibiotics Nisin A, Nisin Z, Subtilin, Ericin S, Ericin A, Streptin, Epidermin, [Vall-Leu6]-epidermin, Gallidermin, Mutacin 1140, Mutacin B-Ny266, Mutacin III, Mutacin I, Pep5, Epilancin K7, and Epicidin 280; Type A(II) lantibiotics Lacticin 481, Variacin, Mutacin II, StreptococcinA-FF22, Salivaricin A, [Lys2-Phe7]-salivaricin A, Plantaricin C, Sublancin 168, and Butyrivibriocin OR79A; Type B lantibiotics Cinnamycin, Duramycin, Duramycin B, Duramycin C, Curamycin C, Ancovenin, Mersacidin, Actagardine, Ala(O)-actagardine, and Subtiloc
- DPOLT allows the site specific substitution of amino acids and their analogs, even in a combinatorial library approach, which provides an optimal method for finding new and improved therapeutic agents for their intended purpose.
- DPOLT is the only existing technology for the synthesis of molecules with overlapping rings, and has the potential to make a variety of bioactive molecules, besides lantibiotics, for use in various applications.
- DPOLT enables in vitro production, e.g., of structurally complex lantibiotics (including those with overlapping ring structures) to be made in a commercially viable fashion using routine solid phase peptide synthesis methods.
- DPOLT provides two significant advantages in the screening and development of new lantibiotics for commercial applications: fermentation approaches are clearly preferable from the standpoint of cost of materials for production, but the time and effort required to optimize such methods may be prohibitive during the initial stages of drug discovery. In addition, as in the case of Nisin A, purification of high yield fermentations may not be readily achieved. Purification of the final product, typically, is not a significant problem in SPPS. DPOLT has the advantage of allowing screening of a large number of potentially useful compounds in a rapid fashion for clinical testing. For compounds that look promising, DPOLT provides a fast path to market, and also indicates those molecules that could be served by providing the necessary time and effort to develop fermentation methods.
- DPOLT will allow the quick and efficient elimination of these from consideration.
- DPOLT depends on solid phase peptide synthesis, it will be simple to screen and develop analogs with improved characteristics, such as those that overcome bacterial resistance.
- the method can be applied to other lantibiotics and peptides of interest and to identify ones that have functionally desirable and economically favorable characteristics.

- Lantibiotic drugs have enormous potential, and will most likely be well received by the medical community. Although the market for antibiotic usage remains high and will remain so as long as there are infectious diseases, the overall lifecycle for most antibiotics is short, due to mutation and bacterial resistance.
- the benefits of the lantibiotic class of antibiotic drugs is that they have a proven track record of being relatively resistant to bacterial adaptation and have been found to have potent bactericidal activity against a number of bacterial pathogens resistant to other antibiotics.
