Description

多肽化合物及其制备方法与应用 技术领域
本发明涉及生物医药领域,特别是涉及一种多肽化合物及其制备方法与应用。
背景技术
自从1962年从铃蟾皮肤中分离获得由22个氨基酸组成的铃蟾抗菌肽之后,人们已从两栖动物皮肤中发现了多种抗菌肽。1980年在美国天蚕体内发现了第一个昆虫来源的抗菌多肽,以后在微生物、水产动物、脊椎动物、哺乳动物中也陆续发现具有抗菌防御功能的多肽分子。生物体产生抵御致病微生物的肽类分子被统称为“抗菌肽”,或被称为宿主“防御素”。“抗菌肽”或“防御素”构成了宿主抵抗外来病原菌感染的第一道防线,保护宿主自身不受致病微生物的侵害。
抗菌肽(antibacterial peptide)的特征是由氨基酸组成的肽分子,氨基酸数目少于100,常携带正电荷,具有确定的抗菌活性。目前发现的生物体产生的天然抗菌肽有抑制革兰氏阳性菌、革兰氏阴性菌、真菌、病毒、寄生虫等功能。抗菌肽最为吸引人关注的优点包括:大多数抗菌肽的氨基酸数目在15-45个氨基酸之间,作用靶点为细菌的细胞膜,对宿主无毒或低毒,无耐药性,具有良好的热稳定性及生物安全性。与人类友好伴生的益生菌乳酸菌产生的乳链菌肽(Nisin)是目前研究得最为清楚的抗菌肽,Nisin是由34个氨基酸组成的直链肽分子,它对引起食品腐败的革兰氏阳性菌中的葡萄球菌、链球菌、微球菌具有良好的抑制生长作用,被美国、欧盟、中国的食品药品监督管理局批准作为食品添加剂应用于食品保存。
以往发现的抗菌肽均是自然界生物体产生的天然抗菌肽,根据报道多为单链形态的多肽分子,自然界中也偶出现相同或不同的抗菌肽通过肽链之间的二硫键相连接的形态,但自然界中的抗菌肽分子呈现共聚多价的形态至今未见报道。
由于抗菌肽不产生耐药性,具有良好的生物安全性、环境安全性等,从而吸引了科学家以天然抗菌肽为先导化合物进行各种方式的分子改良,以期获得更为高效的抗菌效果、更长久的稳定性、更良好的生理适应性,更易于应用于日常或临床实施,更便于人工合成的抗菌肽。

本发明杂环肽分子的制备方法分为两部分,第一部分为直链肽poly-B m-K-Cyclic-A n的合成,第二部分为K-(Cyclic-A n)环肽的制备。杂环肽合成过程如下:
一、直链肽poly-B m-K-Cyclic-A n的合成:
首先采用手工固相Fmoc/tBu合成法,以H-CTC树脂(取代值为约0.6mmol/g)为起始原料,从多肽的C端向N端逐一添加缩合氨基酸,延长肽链直至完成线性直链poly-B m-K-Cyclic-A n目标肽链的合成。所用的氨基酸原料可以是L型氨基酸,也可以是D型氨基酸;氨基酸的D型与L型互为镜像异构体,即以氨基酸的碳原子为中心,羧基在上,氨基在左为L型氨基酸,氨基在右为D性氨基酸,自然界存在的氨基酸均为L型氨基酸。
首先用1.5倍当量的Fmoc-AA A1-OH,3eq DIPEA(Diiso-propylethylamine,二异丙基乙胺)与树脂进行接枝引入C端第一个氨基酸残基,反应时长1小时。用DMF洗涤树脂6次,洗净树脂后用甲醇对树脂上未反应的活性位点进行封闭。然后,采用25%PIPE(Piperidine,六氢吡啶)/DMF(Dimethyl Fromamide,N,N-二甲基甲酰胺)(v/v)去除N端Fmoc保护基使N端成为自由氨基(2次,每次10分钟)。用3倍当量的Fmoc-AA A2-OH/HOBt(1-Hydroxybenzotriazole,1-羟基苯并三唑)/DIC(N,N’-Diisopropylcarbodiimide,N,N’-二异丙基碳二亚胺)与树脂接枝引入C端第二个氨基酸残基。如此反复依次连接缩合氨基酸Fmoc-AA An-OH完成线性Cyclic-A n链的合成。其后采用合成的氨基酸原料顺序为Fmoc-Lys(Dde)-OH,然后进行poly-B m肽链的合成,Fmoc-AA B1-OH,Fmoc-AA B2-OH,……Fmoc-AA Bm-OH直至完成poly-B m肽链的合成。
线性直链肽的每一步氨基酸缩合反应完成之后用纯DMF洗涤树脂6次,并且每次缩合反应完成之后采用Kaiser Test检测缩合效率,若氨基酸缩合反应显示不完全,重复缩合反应一次。
二、K-(Cyclic-A n)环肽的制备:
线性直链肽poly-B m-K-Cyclic-A n合成完成之后,其N端采用Boc酸酐进行封端(4eq Boc 2O,8eq DIPEA,30分钟),随后采用2%肼/DMF(v/v)去除环化处赖氨酸(Lys)K残基的侧链Dde保护基以释放出Lys侧链氨基(2次,每次15分钟)。
树脂用纯DMF清洗6遍后抽干,用1%TFA(Trifloroacetic Acid,三氟乙酸)/DCM(Dichloromethane,二氯甲烷)(v/v)对树脂进行切割将直链肽分子从树脂上裂解释 放出来。获得的直链肽分子poly-B m-K-Cyclic-A n的N端以及其它氨基酸残基的活泼侧链基团均已被保护,呈Boc-AA Bm-K-AA An,仅有赖氨酸(Lys)K的侧链氨基及肽链C端的羧基呈现裸露状态适宜进行分子内的缩合反应。由于得到的多肽分子纯度较高直接用于下一步的环化反应。
用少量的DMF溶解以上制备的保护直链肽分子,通过DCM将其浓度稀释到10 -3M以下。加入1.2eq的BOP/HOBT后,用DIPEA将溶液调节至碱性,环化过程开始。环化反应持续6-12个小时,用质谱对环化过程进行跟踪(环化为脱水反应,环化后分子量减少18Da),直至反应进行完全。通过旋蒸除去溶剂后,使用切割试剂(三氟乙酸:1,2-乙二硫醇:苯甲硫醚:苯酚:H 2O:三异丙基硅烷=68.5:10:5:3.5:1,v/v)将多肽侧链保护基去除,30℃下切割3小时。切割溶液加入大量冷的无水乙醚使多肽沉淀析出,离心获得多肽沉淀。用乙醚洗涤沉淀数次后干燥即得到目标(poly-B m)-K-(Cyclic-A n)杂环肽的粗品。
杂环肽分子的纯化及表征:
采用HP1100型(美国安捷伦公司)反相高效液相色谱仪对杂环肽粗品进行纯化。色谱柱填料:Agela C18(10μm,

K-Cyclic-A n是由疏水氨基酸为主要组成部分,先形成直链肽链,然后其末端的羧基端与赖氨酸K的侧链上Dde保护的氨基缩合最后形成环肽结构。疏水氨基酸包括:苯丙氨酸(Phe F)、缬氨酸(Val V)、亮氨酸(Leu L)、异亮氨酸(Ile I)、蛋氨酸(Met M)、色氨酸(Trp W)、脯氨酸(Pro P)、丙氨酸(Ala A)、甘氨酸(Gly G)中的一种或几种。由疏水氨基酸为主的Cyclic-A n肽链组成中可在其任意位置参入任意其它类别的氨基酸。Cyclic-A n肽链形成的环肽可全部由单一种类的疏水性氨基酸组成,也可以全部由任意种类的疏水性氨基酸混合组成。n为K-(Cyclic-A n)环肽所包含的氨基酸数目,适宜范围为4-15,最佳范围为6-12。
线性直链肽K-Cyclic-A n合成完成之后,其N端采用Boc酸酐进行封端(4eq Boc 2O,8eq DIPEA,30分钟),随后采用2%肼/DMF(v/v)去除环化处赖氨酸(K,Lys)残基的侧链Dde保护基以释放出Lys侧链氨基(2次,每次15分钟)。
树脂用纯DMF清洗6遍后抽干,用1%TFA/DCM(v/v)对树脂进行切割将直链肽分子从树脂上裂解释放出来。获得的直链肽分子K-(Cyclic-A n)的N端以及其它氨基酸残基的活泼侧链基团均已被保护,呈Boc-K-AA An,仅有赖氨酸(K,Lys)的侧链氨基及肽链C端的羧基呈现裸露状态适宜进行分子内的缩合反应。由于得到的多肽分子纯度较高直接用于下一步的环化反应。
用少量的DMF溶解以上制备的保护直链肽分子,通过DCM将其浓度稀释到10 -3M以下。加入1.2eq的BOP/HOBT后,用DIPEA将溶液调节至碱性,环化过程开始。环化反应持续6-12个小时,用质谱对环化过程进行跟踪(环化为脱水反应,环化后分子量减少18Da),直至反应进行完全。通过旋蒸除去溶剂后,使用切割试剂(三氟乙酸:1,2-乙二硫醇:苯甲硫醚:苯酚:H 2O:三异丙基硅烷=68.5:10:5:3.5:1,v/v)将多肽侧链保护基去除,30℃下切割3小时。切割溶液加入大量冷的无水乙醚使多肽沉淀析出,离心获得多肽沉淀。用乙醚洗涤沉淀数次后干燥即得到目标K-(Cyclic-A n)杂环肽的粗品。
按照上述方法得到本发明的环肽,其中表2中仅列出部分合成得到的环肽片段的氨基酸序列,由于环肽中的K是与Cyclic-A n末端的氨基酸羧基端缩合形成,且K是与直链肽poly-B m的连接点,因此将K默认为环肽的起点,并测得其质谱分子量。

    poly-B m-K-Cyclic-A n-H-CTC树脂的N端采用Boc酸酐进行封端,随后去除环化处赖氨酸(K,Lys)残基的侧链Dde保护基以释放出Lys侧链氨基;对树脂进行切割将直链肽分子从树脂上裂解释放出来,获得N端以及其它氨基酸残基的活泼侧链基团均已被保护、仅有赖氨酸(K,Lys)的侧链氨基及肽链C端的羧基呈现裸露状态的直链肽分子poly-B m-K-Cyclic-A n,进行分子内的缩合环化反应,然后将侧链基团的保护基去除,重结晶即得到目标(poly-B m)-K-(Cyclic-A n)杂环肽的粗品,最后采用高效液相色谱(HPLC)纯化所述粗品,获得纯度>98%的多肽化合物(poly-B m)-K-(Cyclic-A n)。
  13. 权利要求1-7任一所述多肽化合物在制备抗菌药物中的应用。
  14. 根据权利要求13所述应用,其特征在于,所述抗菌为杀灭引起烧伤或创伤的创面常见的感染致病菌及真菌或抑制其生长。
  15. 根据权利要求13或14所述应用,其特征在于,所述抗菌包括杀灭原核微生物中的细菌(包括球菌、杆菌、螺旋菌等,或革兰氏阴性菌和阳性菌)、放线菌(包括支原体、衣原体、立克次氏体)、蓝藻(包括蓝球藻、念珠藻、颤藻等)或抑制其生长。
  16. 根据权利要求13或14所述应用,其特征在于,所述抗菌包括杀灭真核微生物中的真菌(包括酵母菌,霉菌、青霉菌、黏菌等)和原生致病微生物(包括阿米巴变形虫等)或抑制其生长。
  17. 根据权利要求13或14所述应用,其特征在于,所述抗菌为杀灭金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠埃希菌、铜绿假单胞菌、鲍曼不动杆菌或抑制其生长;尤其是杀灭屎肠球菌(Enterococcus faecium)、金黄色葡萄球菌(Staphylococcus aureus)、肺炎克雷伯氏菌(Klebsiella pneumoniae)、鲍曼不动杆菌(Acinetobacter baumannii)、铜绿假单胞菌(Pseudomonas aeruginosa)、大肠杆菌(Enterobacter species)等耐药细菌及耐药真菌或抑制其生长。
