Definitions
- This invention relates to novel procedures for synthesising peptides and to novel reagents for use in these procedures.
- the invention also provides kits of reagents for use in carrying out the procedures of the invention.
- Peptides. are linear polymers derived from amino acids and generally have the formula
- a , A ... A are the residues of the amino acids making up the peptide.
- Such amino acids may be represented by the formulae
- Peptides may additionally include sub-units derived from imino acids (also termed "heterocyclic amino acids”) such as, for example, proline. These sub-units may be represented by the formula
- amino acids that form the sub-units of proteins. These amino acids, which in nature are of the L-configuration, have been described as "naturally occurring amino acids”.
- the side chain R may be a hydrocarbyl group, for example an an alkyl or aryl group, as in alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine and phenylalanine.
- the residue R may contain polar, but non-ionizable groups, as in. asparagine, glutamine, threonine and serine, or ionizable groups, such as in aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine, arginine, histidine, tyrosine, tryptophan and cysteine.
- Peptides may be synthesised by two distinct routes, biological and chemical. This invention is concerned with the second route.
- next amino acid precursor is added and couples with the N-terminal benzyloxycarbonyl-proteced amino acid precursor:
- any reactive groups (other than the -NH_ group and -COe group) which might enter into undesired side reactions need to be protected from attack by other active species.
- the Merrifield strategy utilises an N-protected amino acid HOOC.A.NHProt (XI) which is converted to an activated form e.CO.A.NHProt (XII) Traditionally tertiary butoxycarbonyl (tBoc) has been the protective group of choice.
- the initial (C-terminal) amino acid NH_.A n .C00H is covalently bonded to a resin via its carboxyl group. This may be achieved by reacting a resin having free -CH-C1 groups with a protected amino acid caesium salt
- Resin.CH 2 0.CO.A n .NH 2 (XIV) and the resin particles, with the nth amino acid attached, are reacted with the next (n-l ' )th activated protected amino acid e.C0.A n_1 .NHProt (XII 1 ) which is to form the (n-l)th amino acid of the desired peptide, i.e.
- tertiary butoxy oxycarbonyl (tBoc) has been the protective group of choice.
- this protective group requires the use of strong acids in both deprotection and final cleavage.
- acid-stable protecting moieties e.g. benzyl groups
- protecting moieties for protecting the side chains of amino acids such as the basic amino acids (Lys, His and Arg) .
- the peptide chain is built amino acid-by-amino acid starting with the one intended to be the carboxyl or C-terminal residue of the peptide chain.
- This C-terminal amino acid is covalently bonded via its -C00H group to an insoluble resin support.
- a chloromethylated polystyrene resin is most often used because the benzyl ester group formed with the C-teminal amino acid may be readily cleaved.
- the next amino acid to be used in the peptide chain being formed after having its amino group blocked with a t-butyloxycarbonyl (t-Boc) group, is activated with a coupling activator, such as dicyclohexyl- dicarbondiimide (DCC) , and coupled to the deprotected amino group of the amino acid attached to the resin - (H 2 NCHRC00-CH 2 -Resin XVIII' )
- a coupling activator such as dicyclohexyl- dicarbondiimide (DCC)
- the t-Boc group is then removed by treatment with trifluoracetic acid, and after neutralisation the growing peptide chain attached to the resin is ready for addition of the next amino acid precursor. This sequence is repeated until a peptide chain having the required structure is synthesized. Having the growing peptide chain attached to resin particles large enough to be separated from a liquid phase by filtration, simplifies removal of excess reagents and washing of the resin particles in the many repetitious steps involved, and makes the procedure more convenient for the synthesis of larger peptides and proteins. When the peptide chain is complete, it is cleaved from its resin support by a reaction that does not affect the peptide linkages. Typically, hydrogen fluoride is utilized for cleaving the peptide from the resin.
- Fmoc fluorenylmethoxy carbonyl
- the tBoc and the Fmoc systems require the use of respectively stringent acidic conditions and basic conditions in order to remove the tBoc and Fmoc protective groups.
- strong acids such as trifluoroacetic acid have to be used and bases such as, for example, piperidine in DMF, are required in the Fmoc system.
- bases such as, for example, piperidine in DMF.
- the use of trifluoroacetic acid in order to remove the tBoc protective group is particularly troublesome as the repeated contacting of the resin particles at each cycle with the trifluoroacetic acid reagent causes degradation of the resin.
- activated protected amino acids symmetrical anhydrides
- Such systems require the use of reagents which are relatively stable because supplies of all the reagents necessary to synthesise a desired peptide need to be stored for relatively long periods.
- activated protected amino acids are generally unstable and susceptible to decomposition in the presence of even trace amounts of water and many commercially available activated protected amino acids are prohibitively expensive.
- the tBoc and Fmoc procedures require the use of an excess of the activated protected amino acid reagent in each cycle in order to ensure that the N-terminal amino acid residues of the resin-bound peptide chain react to completion with said reagent.
- the reagent needs to be present in a mole ratio of at least 4 moles of reagent per mole of N-terminal amino residues. As each mole of reagent is formed of two moles of amino acid, this represents a requirement for an 8x excess of amino acid starting material.
- the present invention overcomes the problems associated with prior art solid state peptide synthesis procedures by binding the first amino acid of the desired peptide to a resin via its amino group, activating the carboxyl group of the thus-coupled amino acid and utilising a carboxy-protected amino acid reagent to produce a peptide bond by nucleophilic attack on the activated carboxy group of the bound amino acid. Subsequent amino acids are coupled in a similar manner.
- reactive side chains of the carboxy- protected amino acid may be protected (if necessary) by known procedures.
- the carboxy-protective groups utilised in accordance with the invention are O-silyl ester groups.
- amino acids having O-silyl ester protective groups are novel and form a further aspect of the invention.
- the present invention in its process aspects, is based on the realisation that distinct advantages ensue from the synthesis of peptides by a procedure in which an initial amino acid forming the N-terminus of the desired peptide forms the starting point for the step-wise synthetic route, the carboxyl group of this amino acid is activated and the activated carboxy group is reacted with the free amino group of a carboxy-protected amino acid.

- the solid phase procedure for the synthesis of a peptide of predetermined structure by the process of the present invention typically involves the following steps:
- Trialkylsilyl esters of amino acids are most conveniently prepared according to the invention by the reaction of a trialkylsilyl chloride with an N-blocked amino acid.
- Many N-blocked amino acids may be obtained commercially, however in general they may be prepared in the well known manner from the corresponding amino acid.
- a t-Boc amino acid may be produced by reacting an amino acid with di-t-butyldicarbonate.

- reaction mixture is then acidified to pH 3 with citric acid or IN HCl and extracted 2 x with ethyl acetate.
- the organic phase is then evaporated to isolate the t-Boc-protected amino acid.
- the individual amino groups generally require different blocking groups so that only the amino group destined to form the peptide bond is subsequently de-blocked.
- the £-amino group is preferably blocked with a benzyloxycarbonyl group prior to blocking the ⁇ -amino group with t-Boc. This may be achieved by forming a copper complex with the ⁇ -NH_ and C00H groups, reacting with benzyloxycarbonyl chloride (Z-chloride) and then decomplexing and reacting with t-butyl dicarbonate as described above.
- Amino acids having additional carboxyl groups are preferably in the form of their benzyl esters.

- the reaction between the N-protected amino acid and the trialkylsilyl chloride is effected in an inert solvent, preferably an aprotic solvent such an ether, for example diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran or in dimethyl formamide.
- an inert solvent preferably an aprotic solvent such an ether, for example diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran or in dimethyl formamide.
- the trialkylsilyl chloride neat or dissolved in the solvent, is added dropwise over a period of time to a solution of the N-t-Boc blocked amino acid in a reaction vessel chilled in a cold water or water-ice bath.
- the reaction medium preferably contains a tertiary amine, e.g. triethyl amine, pyridine or imidazole, to serve as a scavenger for the hydrogen chloride formed during the course of the reaction.
- the reaction mixture is generally allowed to stand for about an hour to permit the reaction to reach completion. If the reaction mixture had been cooled, it may at this stage be permitted to warm to room temperature.
- the solid tertiary amine hydrochloride, formed during the course of the reaction, may then be separated, most conveniently by filtration. Removal of the solvent from the filtrate under reduced pressure gives an almost theoretical yield of highly pure trialkylsilyl ester of the N-protected amino acid.
- the silylation reaction is preferably carried out in an aprotic solvent in the presence of one equivalent of base (triethylamine, pyridine or imidazole).
- base triethylamine, pyridine or imidazole
- diethyl ether is the preferred solvent.
- Dimethylformamide is preferred for production of the t-butyldimethylsilyl esters.

- the trialkylsilyl ester of the intermediate peptide precursor is readily cleaved with methanol or methanol/acetic acid and the liberated carboxylic acid group activated for coupling with a conventional activator such as DCC/HOBT. This sequence is repeated until a peptide chain of the required structure is formed. Then, the trialkylsilyl ester at the C-terminal end of the chain is cleaved and the N-blocking group removed with hydrochloric acid/diethyl ether to liberate the peptide. In order to prepare a pure peptide product, it is generally necessary to isolate and/or separate unreacted reagents from one or more of the intermediate peptide precursors produced during the course of the synthesis.
- Tyr-Ala-Ala-Phe-Leu-OH and Ala-Ala-OH were prepared using the liquid phase procedure described above.
- the trialkysilyl ester of the initial amino acid in the peptide chain to be formed is bound via its amino group to the insoluble resin.
- the resin is a polystyrene resin bearing a -CH DC0C1 substituent, e.g.
- the carboxyl group is then deprotected by cleaving the trialkylsilyl ester with methanol or methanol/acetic acid, and the thus liberated carboxy group activated with DCC/HOBT.
- a trialkylsilyl ester of a second amino acid is added, and the amino group of the second amino acid couples with the activated carboxyl group of the first amino acid, which remains bound to the resin. This sequence of reactions is repeated until a peptide chain of the desired structure is formed.
- the last trialkylsilyl ester is cleaved with methanol or methanol/acetic acid, and the peptide is liberated from the resin under acidic conditions e.g. HBr/acetic acid, trifluoromethanesulphonic acid (TFMSA) in trifluoracetic acid (TFA) and HP.
- the reagents and reaction condition utilized are milder than those customarily utilized (in the present process, methanol may be used to cleave the protecting group; (c.f. the Merrifield procedure: trifluoroacetic acid is used to remove the N-t-Boc blocking group and Sheppard's Fmoc system: the base piperidine is used to remove the N-terminal blocking group) .
