Abstract

New peptides according to formula (I), A-X-Y-Cys-Z-B, a process for the preparation and its use in the manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations. The new peptides are excellent as immunoregular

Description

NEW PEPTIDES WITH IMMUNOREGUADORBS EFFECTS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to novel peptides, a method for the preparation of peptides and a pharmaceutical preparation containing the peptides. The peptides according to the present invention are excellent as immunoregulatory agents.
There has been a long felt need for new safe immunoregulatory agents in the treatment of many different diseases including malignant diseases, autoimmune diseases and asthma / allergy. The current immunoregulatory agents such as Cyclosporin A and steroids are very potent immunosuppressive agents but also exhibit severe side effects in a dose-dependent manner. The new immunoregulatory agents with greater specificity for the immune system, which shows less side effects, will be of great benefit in the treatment of diseases with a pathological immune response as an important component in the disease process. REF: 24435 PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE The signaling between the cells is to a greater extent, mediated by oligo- or polypeptide Ldos principles, including cytokines, neuropeptides and hormones. A possible form, such as a signal that can be transmitted may involve the activity of the oxidoreductase as measured by the thiol-disulfide interaction of the cysteine residues. This type of action can induce conformational changes of the proteins, which can finally result in a signal to the nucleus of the cell. In this way, redox systems, based on oxidized or reduced cysteines, play important roles in initiating, maintaining and / or deregulating inflammatory responses. The redox systems that are characterized today are the thioredoxin (TR) / thioredoxin reductase (TRR) system (Holmgren et al, 1989, J. Biol. Chem. 264, 13963) and similar systems such as glutaredoxin / glutathione reductase (Bush eller et al., 1992, Biochemistry, 31, 9288) and the disulfide isomerase protein (PDI) systems (Noiva and Lennarz, 1992, J. Biol, Chem., 267, 3553). The TR / TRR system and the related redox systems are potent regulators of different immunological and inflammatory parameters known as the expression of chain α IL-2R (Espinoz-Adelgado et al., 1992, J. Immuno.L., 149, 2961) , modulation of the expression of IFN-gamma activity (Deiss and Kimchi, 1991, Science, 252, 117), differentiation and effector function of lymphocytes (Yodoi and Uchiyama, 1992, Immunol. Today 13, 405-411) , regulation of eosinophil effector functions (Balcewics et al., 1991, J. Immunol., 147, 2170), glucocorticoid receptor activation (Grippo et al., 1985, J. Biol .Chem 260, 93-97) and modulation of the immune response during pregnancy (Clar et al, 1991, J. Reprod. Fert., 93, 525). The active site of TR includes a sequence with a -Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys- motif. The selected virus proteins, for example the products of the gene encoded from the X regions of the human T cell leukemia viruses (Shimotohno et al, 1985, PNAS 82, 302-306) and the human immunoregulatory proteins may have cysteine-containing sequences, which are homologous to such a motif -Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys-. It has been considered that these proteins can either express oxide reductase activity or they can be substrates for such activity or possibly act as inhibitors of such activity. Previously, the peptides based on the sequence of the active site TR rich in cysteine mentioned in the foregoing, have been produced and shown to have biological activities similar to the native protein. Another example of a cysteine-containing peptide with thioredoxin-like activity was obtained from hFSH-β- (81-95) (Grasso et al, 1991, Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology 78, 163). Analogs of humoral thymic gamma2 (THF-gamma2) to be used as immunoregulatory agents in pharmaceutical compositions are described in WO, Al, 9501182 (12.01.95). This document describes two cyclic analogues: Leu-Glu-Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys-Phe-Leu (SEQUENCE OF IDENTIFICATION NO: 34) and Leu-Cys-Ala-Gly-Pro-Cys-Phe-Leu (SEQUENCE OF IDENTIFICATION NO: 35); which are excluded from the present invention. However, this document does not disclose the active importance of cysteine-containing sequences. Peptides have been prepared with cysteine-containing motifs, selected from the structural proteins of the virus, for example retroviral transmembrane protein pl5E and human proteins involved in the regulation of inflammation, for example TGF-β. Then the peptides are modified to obtain optimal immunoregulatory properties.

It has surprisingly been found that the peptides of formulas (I), (II), (III) and (IV) are excellent as immunoregulators, thus having immunostimulatory or immunoinbibrinding effect. The invention in this way provides peptides with advantageous properties for the treatment of diseases where an anergy of the immune response or an aberrant immune response or an ineffective host defense may be suspect. Such diseases include chronic bronchitis, where a reduction in the rate of worsening had previously been reported with immune response modifiers such as Biostim.
(Radermecker, M. et al., Int. J. Immunopharmac., 10, 913-917, 1988; Scheffer, J. et al., Arzneim Forsch / Drug Res. 41, 815-820, 1991), Ribomunyl and Broncho Vaxom (Paupe, J. Respiration 58, 150-154, 1991) as well as with N-acetylcysteine (See Bergstrand, H. et al., J. Free Radie, Biol. Med. 2, 119-127, 1986). Such diseases also include certain forms of malignancies. In this way, numerous research institutes around the world help find ways to stimulate the immune response in patients with various forms of malignancies and numerous reviews in the literature deal with this approach (Stevenson, FK FASEB J 5: 2250-2257, 1991; Melief, CJM Advances in Cancer Research 58: 143-75, 1992; Chen, J. et al., Immunology Today 14:10, 483-86, 1993). To mention some example patients with intracranial tumors (gliomas) present a profound decrease in immunity, possibly due to a defect in the secretion of IL-2 as well as expression of IL-2 receptors in the T cells of these patients (Rosz an, T. et al., Immunology Today 12, 370-374, 1991).
In addition, a significant adjuvant effect in the immunotherapy of melanoma and colon carcinoma has been documented by the Levamisole immunostimulator (Van auwe, J. and Janssen, PAJ: Int. J. Immunopharmac 13, 3-9, 1991) and immunotherapy with IL. -2 in vivo or treatment of patients with killer cells activated by lymphokine with IL-2 ex vivo has caused the regression of cancer in selected patients (Rosenberg, S.A. Immunology Today 9, 58-62, 1988). Malignant diseases where the peptides of the formulas (I), (II), (I "I) and (IV) can be expected to have advantageous effects, including tumors of mesenchymal origin such as sarcomas such as fibrosarcoma, myxosarcoma, liposarcoma, chondrosarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma or cordosarcoma, sarcomas similar to angiosarcoma, endotheliosarcoma, lymphangiosarcoma, synovium.rcoma or mesotheliomas, leukemias and lympholas similar to granulocytic leukemia, monocytic leukemia, lymphocytic leukemia, malignant lymphoma, plasmacytoma, sarcoma of the cellular reticulum or Hodgkins disease, sarcomas similar to leiomisarcoma or rhabdomysarcoma, tumors of epithelial origin (carcinomas) such as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, carcinoma of the gland salivary, carcinoma of the sebaceous gland, adenocarcinoma, papillary carcinoma, papillary adenocarcinoma, cystadencarcinoma, medullary carcinoma, carcinoma s? n differentiate, bronchogenic carcinoma, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, liver-hepator cell carcinoma, carcinoma of the bile duct cholangiocarcinoma, papillary carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, choriocarcinoma, semonoma or embryonal carcinoma, tumors of the central nervous system such as glioma, meningoma, medulloblastoma, schwannoma or ependymoma. In addition, the peptides according to the present invention also have advantageous properties for the treatment of chronic infections such as herpes, aphthous stomatitis and minimal change syndrome where the clinical improvement had previously been reported by the treatment by an immunostimulator such as Levamisole as well as well as other chronic inflammatory diseases in the urinary tract or in the ear, nose or throat, whose benefit is treatment with immunostimulants such as Biostim, Broncho-Vaxom and Ribomunyl, or in HIV infection or AIDS. In addition, a damage, defect or imbalance of the immune response has also been postulated to exist in topical diseases such as atopic dermatitis, rhinitis and asthma (Katz, D.H. Immunology Rewie s 41, 77-108, 1977). Since theoretical considerations suggest that the stimulation of an immune response would possibly be the best way to restore imbalances and autoimmunity (Varela, FJ. "And Cout: .nho, A. Immunology Today 12, 159-166, 1991), the peptides can also be expected to have advantageous properties for the treatment of asthma, rhinitis, atopic dermatitis and autoimmune diseases such as non-obese diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, Sjögren's syndrome, dermatomyositis or multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and possibly psoriasis. the peptides according to the present invention, due to their immune modulating properties, may have advantageous properties as adjuvants in various forms of vaccine preparations.Due to their immune modulating properties, the peptides may also be expected to have favorable properties in inhibit the rejection of organs / transplants.
Finally, the peptides according to the present invention can be expected to have advantageous properties in the treatment of arteriosclerosis, whether or not they will influence an inflammatory process assumed in this condition (Hansson, GK et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 88, 10530, 1991). The peptides according to the present invention are particularly suitable for the treatment of malignancies such as melanoma, mammary carcinoma, gastrointestinal carcinoma, glioma, carcinoma of the bladder and squamous cell carcinoma of the neck and the region of the head; infections such as chronic bronchitis, hepatitis, post-infection anergy and acquired immune deficiencies such as AIDS; post-traumatic immunological anergy; and autoimmune diseases involved such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, arteriosclerosis and psoriasis.
Preparation The peptides according to the present invention can be prepared using the standard solid-phase sequential coupling technique using an automatic peptide synthesizer (see, for example, Jones, J. The Chemical Synthesis of Peptides, pp. 132-156, first edition). , Oxford University Press, 1991 and R. Epton (ed) Innova ion and Perspectives in Solid Phase Synthesis, SPCC (UK) Ltd, 1990). The preparation starts from the amino acid C-terminatl, which can be obtained grafted to a methylbenzene: hydrylamine, benzhydrylamine or chlormethylated resin or other suitable solid support. The other amino acids are grafted step by step, after their side chains have been protected. In this coupling method, the a-amino groups of the amino acids are protected with either the Fmoc or t-Boc methodology. Protective groups for amino acid side chains are well known in the art. The complete protected peptide is released either from the chloromethylated resin by ammoniolysis to obtain the protected amide, or from the methylbenzhydrylamine or benzhydrylamine resins by acidolysis. The peptides according to the invention can be prepared using methods in solution, either by stepwise or fragment condensations (see for example: Jones, J. The Chemical Synthesis of Peptides, pp. 115-131, first edition, Oxford University Press , 1991). A protected alpha amino amino acid is coupled to an appropriately protected alpha carboxyl amino acid (such protection may not be required depending on the chosen coupling method) using diimides, symmetric or asymmetric anhydrides, or other coupling reagents or techniques known to those skilled in the art. . These techniques can be either chemical or enzymatic. The alpha amino and / or alpha carboxyl protecting groups are removed and the next appropriately protected amino acid or amino acid block is coupled to extend the growing peptide. Various combinations of protective groups and chemical and / or enzymatic techniques and assembly strategies can be used in each synthesis. The dimers (peptides of formulas (II), (III) and (IV)) and the peptides containing intramolecular disulfide bonds between the cysteine residues, can be prepared by general oxidation techniques described by Andreu et al. In Methods in Molecular Biology, Peptide Synthesis Protocols vol 35 (Humana Press Inc., Totowa, NJ , 1994) and Ruiz-Gayo et al, 1988, Tetrahedron Letters, 29, 3845-3848, as well as in other reference works known to those skilled in the art. The determinations of the mass spectra of low resolution and exact mass were recorded in Autospec-Q, Fisons Analytical, instrument of sector of double approach equipped with an interface LSIMS.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention will now be described in greater detail with the following examples, which should not be considered as limiting the invention.
Example 1 Synthesis of H-Gly-Pro-Cys-Ile-OH (SEQUENCE OF IDENTIFICATION NO: 1) One resin (0.37 g, 0.22 mequiv / g, 81 μmoles) consisting of a cross-linked polystyrene backbone grafted with polyethylene glycol chains, functionalized with the p-hydroxymethylphenoxyacetic acid linker (Sheppard and Williams, 1982, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res., 20, 451- 454) and Fmocte from Rapp Polymere (Germany) was used for the synthesis of the amino acids Na-Fmoc were from Bachem (Switzerland) and Cys was: protected with a triphenylmethyl group (Trt). The DMF was distilled before being used. The Na-Fmoc amino acids were attached to the peptide-resin as esters 7-aza-1-benzotriazolyl (HOAt) (Carpino, 1993, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 115, 4397-4398). These were prepared, in itself, in the peptide synthesizer of the appropriate amino acid Na-Fmoc (0.32 mmol) and HOAt (65 mg, 0.48 mmol) by the addition of DMF (0.5 ml) and a solution of 1,3-diisopropyl -carbodiimide in DMF (0.39 M, 0.8 ml, 0.312 mmol). After 45 minutes bromophenol blue (Flegel and Sheppard, 1990, J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 536-538) in DMF (0.15 mM, 0.4 ml) is added to the HOAt ester by the synthesizer and the resulting solution It is recirculated through the column. The acylation was monitored (Flegel and Sheppard, 1990, J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 536-538) using the absorbance of bronphenol blue at 600 nm and when the coupling was complete, the peptide-resin was automatically washed with DMF. The coupling times for the different N ^ -Fmoc amino acids were approximately 30 minutes. Deprotection of Na-Fmoc from the peptide-resin was performed by a flow of 20% piperidine in DMF through the column for 12.5 minutes and monitored (Dryland and Sheppard, 1986, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. I , 125-137) using the absorbance of the dibenzofulvene-piperidine adduct at 350 nm. After the deprotection of N-^ - Fmoc was terminated, the peptide-resin was again automatically washed with DMF. After the end of the synthesis and unfolding of the N-terminal Na-Fmoc group, the resin was washed with dichloromethane (5 x 5 ml) and dried under vacuum. The peptide (40 μmol) is then cleaved from the resin (200 mg) and the side chains of amino acids were deprotected with the treatment with trifluoroacetic acid-water-thioanisole-ethanedithic (87.5: 5: 5: 5: 2.5, 20 ml) for 2 h followed by Example 34 Synthesis of H-Leu-Leu-Phe-Gly-Pro-Cyvpe-OH H- u.l? -Pbe-Gly-Pro-Cy »-I] e-OH (homodimer of SEQ ID NO: 8) A solution of the monomer (1.5 mg / ml in 50 nM phosphate buffer, pH = 7.2) containing 5 ppm of copper (II) sulfate is stirred at room temperature for 20 hours.

NT.110: 30) Pharmaceutical preparations The peptides according to the invention can be administered orally, nasally, rectally, intravenously or by inhalation. The dose will depend on the route of administration, the severity of the disease, age and weight of the patient and other factors normally considered by the attending physician, when it determines the regimen and individual dose level as the most appropriate for a particular patient. The pharmaceutical preparations comprising the peptides according to the invention can conveniently be tablets, pills, capsules, syrups, powders or granules for the oral administration of sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions for parenteral administration or suppositories for rectal administration. For the preparation of pharmaceutical preparations containing a peptide according to the present invention in the form of dosage units for oral administration, the active peptide can be mixed with an adjuvant or a carrier, for example lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches such as potato starch, corn starch or amylopectin, cellulose derivatives, a binder such as gelatin or polyvinylpyrrolidone and a lubricant such as magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, polyethylene glycol, waxes, paraffin and the like and then compressed in tablets. If coated tablets are required, the cores prepared as described above, may be coated with a concentrated sugar solution, which may contain for example gum arabic, gelatin, talcum, titanium dioxide and the like. Alternatively, the tablet can be coated with a polymer known to the man skilled in the art, dissolved in an easily volatile organic solvent or a mixture of organic solvents. The edible dyes can be added to these coatings to easily distinguish between tablets containing different active substances or different amounts of the active peptides. For the preparation of soft gelatin capsules, the active substance can be mixed, for example, with a vegetable oil or polyethylene glycol. The hard gelatine capsules may contain granules of the active substance using either the excipients for tablets mentioned above, for example lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches (for example potato starch, corn starch or amylopectin), the cellulose derivatives or gelatin. Also liquids or semi-liquids of the drug can be filled into hard gelatin capsules. The dosage units for rectal application may be solutions or suspensions, or they may be prepared in the form of suppositories comprising the active substance in admixture with a neutral fat base, or rectal gelatin capsules comprising the active substance in admixture with vegetable oil or paraffin oil. Liquid preparations for oral application may be in the form of syrups or suspensions, for example solutions containing a peptide as described herein as the active substance, the remainder being sugar and a mixture of ethanol, water, glycerol and propylene glycol. Optionally such liquid preparations may contain coloring agents, flavoring agents, saccharin and carboxymethylcellulose as a thickening agent or other excipients known to man skilled in the art. Solutions for parenteral applications by injection can be prepared in an aqueous solution of a pharmaceutically acceptable, water-soluble salt of the active substance. These solutions may also contain stabilizing agents and / or buffering agents and may involve the use of surface active agents to improve solubility. Conveniently they can be provided in several dose unit vials. The compounds according to the invention can be formulated in pressurized metered dose inhalers or dry powder inhalers for oral or nasal inhalation or in liquid formulations for nebulization. The active substance is micronized or processed in any other form at particle size suitable for inhalation therapy (mean mass diameter <4 μm). For metered dose inhalers, the micronized substance is suspended in a liquid propellant or a mixture of liquid propellants, which can also act as solvents and fill in a container, which is equipped with a metering or metering valve . The propellants used can be hydrofluoroalkanes (HFA) of different compositions. The most frequently used HFAs are tetrafluoroethane (propellant 134a) and heptafluoropropane (propellant 227). Low concentrations of surfactants such as sorbitan trioleate, lecithin, oleic acid or other suitable substances can be used to improve the physical stability of the preparation. Ethanol or other solvents can be used to increase the solubility of the substances in the propellants.
The active substance can also be supplied by means of a portable inhaler device, suitable for inhaling dry powder. The active substance can be used alone or combined with a suitable carrier substance such as lactose, mannitol or glucose. Other additives may also be included in the powder formulation for various reasons, such as to increase stability. The inhaler can be a single dose inhaler with a presumed dose or a multiple dose inhaler, in which the dose is created by a dosage unit inside the inhaler or is supplied from a presumed dose assembly.
Biological studies The ability of the peptides according to the invention to modulate immune responses can be illustrated by their effectiveness in the late-type hypersensitivity test in animals (DTH) in mice. Both male and female Balb / c mice, obtained from Bomholtsgaard (Denmark) were used with a weight of 18-20 grams. 4-Ethoxymethylene-2-phenyloxazolin-5-one (OXA) (England) and served as the antigen in this test.
The mice were sensitized, Day 0, by epicutaneous application of 150 μl of an absolute ethanol-acetone (3: 1) solution containing 3% OXA on the shaved abdomen. Treatment with the peptide or vehicle (0.9% NaCl) was initiated by oral feeding immediately after sensitization once a day continuously until Day 6. Seven days (Day 6) after sensitization, both ears of all mice were stimulated on both sides by the topical application of 20 μl of 1% OXA dissolved in peanut oil. The thickness of the ear was measured before and 24 or 48 hours after the stimulation using the Oditest spring gauge. The stimuli and measurements were performed under light pentobarbital anesthesia. The intensity of the DTH reactions was expressed according to the formula: tt24 / 48"tt0 ^ m in units, where tO, t24 and t48 represent the thickness of the ear before and 24 or 48 hours after the stimulus respectively, in individual tests (T) The result was expressed as the mean +/- SEM The level of significance between the means of the groups was obtained by the two-tailed Student's t-test The immunoregulatory effect of the peptide is reflected in a significant difference in the increase or decrease in the thickness of the ear when compared to the control.
Discussion The present invention describes peptides that can be expected to have favorable effects for the treatment of various diseases, which affect the immune system including diseases where an anergy of the immune response, an aberrant immune response or peripheral tolerance to pathogens or a deficiency of the ineffective guest for other reasons may be suspect. These types of drugs have an urgent need in the market, instead of or as a complement to more toxic current drugs, for the treatment of many diseases.
