Peptide nanotube aligning side chains onto one side

A novel pseudo cyclic penta-β-peptide composed of a β-naphthylalanine, two β-alanines, and a sequence of ethylenediamine-succinic acid (CP5ES) is synthesized and investigated on peptide nanotube (PNT) formation. When the PNT is formed with the maximum number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the cyclic peptides, the sequence enables the alignment of the side chains, naphthyl groups, on one side of the PNT. Microscopic and spectroscopic observations of CP5ES crystals reveal that CP5ES forms rod- or needle-shaped molecular assemblies showing exciton coupling of the Cotton effect and predominant monomer emission, which are different from a reference cyclic tri-β-peptide composed of a β-naphthylalanine and two β-alanines. Insertion of a sequence of ethylenediamine-succinic acid into β-amino acids in the cyclic skeleton is therefore suggested to be effective to make the side chains aligning on one side of the PNT.

The structurally related peptides neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) are endogenous agonists of the NPY receptor (YR) family, which in humans comprises four functionally expressed subtypes, designated Y1R, Y2R, Y4R and Y5R. Nonpeptide antagonists with high affinity and selectivity have been described for the Y1R, Y2R and Y5R, but such compounds are still lacking for the Y4R. In this work, the structures of the high affinity selective (R)-argininamide-type Y1R antagonists BIBP3226 and BIBO3304 were linked via the guanidine or urea moieties to give homo-dimeric argininamides with linker lengths ranging from 31 to 41 atoms. Interestingly, the twin compounds proved to be by far less selective for the Y1R than the R-configured monovalent parent compounds. The decrease in selectivity ratio was most pronounced for Y1R versus Y 4R subtype, resulting in comparable affinities of bivalent ligands for Y1R and Y4R (e.g. UR-MK177 ((R,R)-49): Ki = 230 nM (Y1R) and 290 nM (Y4R)). With a Ki value of 130 nM and a Kb value of 20 nM, UR-MK188 ((R,R)-51) was superior to all Y4R antagonists known to date. The S,S-configured optical antipodes of UR-MK177 and UR-MK188 (UR-MEK381 ((S,S)-49) and UR-MEK388 ((S,S)-51)) were synthesized to investigate the stereochemical discrimination by the different receptor subtypes. Whereas preference for R,R-configured argininamides was characteristic of the Y1R, stereochemical discrimination by the Y4R was not observed. This may pave the way to selective Y4R antagonists.
NG-Acyl-argininamides as NPY Y1 receptor antagonists: Influence of structurally diverse acyl substituents on stability and affinity

experimental part, p. 6292 - 6304 (2010/10/19)
NG-Acylated argininamides, covering a broad range of lipophilicity (calculated log D values: -1.8-12.5), were synthesized and investigated for NPY Y1 receptor (Y1R) antagonism, Y 1R affinity and stability in buffer (NG-deacylation, yielding BIBP 3226). Broad structural variation of substituents was tolerated. The Ki (binding) and Kb values (Y1R antagonism) varied from low nM to one-digit μM. Most of the compounds proved to be sufficiently stable at pH 7.4 over 90 min to determine reliable pharmacological data in vitro. Exceptionally high instability was detected when a succinyl moiety was attached to the guanidine, probably, due to an intramolecular cleavage mechanism.

The present invention provides aminoside tetracyclic anthraquinones represented by formula (I) or formula (II), wherein the piptides are introduced to connect tetracyclic anthraquinones and fatty acid saturated or unsaturated in order to make the anticancer agents to be absorbed and released selectively; meanwhile some water-solubility groups are also introduced into the branched chain, aminosaccharide and tetracyclic moiety of the compounds to improve the water-solubility. The present invention also provides the preparative method and the use thereof as pharmaceutically active components for treating the diseases cured by aminoside tetracyclic anthraquinone, for example cancer, such as intestines, liver, gastric, breast, lung, ovary, prostate, brain glioma, lymph, skin, pigment, thyroid gland, multiple bone marrow cancer and leukemia.
