Selective targeting of human TET1 by cyclic peptide inhibitors: Insights from biochemical profiling. Bioorg Med Chem 2024; 99:117597. [PMID: 38262305 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2024.117597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET) enzymes are Fe(II)/2OG-dependent oxygenases that play important roles in epigenetic regulation, but selective inhibition of the TETs is an unmet challenge. We describe the profiling of previously identified TET1-binding macrocyclic peptides. TiP1 is established as a potent TET1 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.26 µM) with excellent selectivity over other TETs and 2OG oxygenases. TiP1 alanine scanning reveals the critical roles of Trp10 and Glu11 residues for inhibition of TET isoenzymes. The results highlight the utility of the RaPID method to identify potent enzyme inhibitors with selectivity over closely related paralogues. The structure-activity relationship data generated herein may find utility in the development of chemical probes for the TETs.

Abstract
Noncanonical G protein activation and inactivation, particularly for the Gαi/s protein subfamilies, have long been a focus of chemical research. Combinatorial libraries were already effectively applied to identify modulators of the guanine-nucleotide exchange, as can be exemplified with peptides such as KB-752 and GPM-1c/d, the so-called guanine-nucleotide exchange modulators. In this study, we identified novel bicyclic peptides from a combinatorial library screening that show prominent properties as molecular switch-on/off modulators of Gαi signaling. Among the series of hits, the exceptional paradigm of GPM-3, a protein and state-specific bicyclic peptide, is the first chemically identified GAP (GTPase-activating protein) modulator with a high binding affinity for Gαi protein. Computational analyses identified and assessed the structure of the bicyclic peptides, novel ligand-protein interaction sites, and their subsequent impact on the nucleotide binding site. This approach can therefore lead the way for the development of efficient chemical biological probes targeting Gαi protein modulation within a cellular context.

Abstract
The recent shift toward increasingly larger drug modalities has created a significant demand for novel classes of compounds with high membrane permeability that can inhibit intracellular protein-protein interactions (PPIs). While major advances have been made in the design of cell-permeable helices, stapled β-sheets, and cyclic peptides, the development of large acyclic β-hairpins lags far behind. Therefore, we investigated a series of 26 β-hairpins (MW > 1.6 kDa) belonging to a chemical space far beyond the Lipinski "rule of five" (fbRo5) and showed that, in addition to their innate plasticity, the lipophilicity of these peptides (log D 7.4 ≈ 0 ± 0.7) can be tuned to drastically improve the balance between aqueous solubility and passive membrane permeability.

A Pt(IV)-conjugated brain penetrant macrocyclic peptide shows pre-clinical efficacy in glioblastoma. J Control Release 2022; 352:623-636. [PMID: 36349615 PMCID: PMC9881056 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2022.10.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive primary malignant brain tumor, with a median survival of approximately 15 months. Treatment is limited by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) which restricts the passage of most drugs to the brain. We previously reported the design and synthesis of a BBB-penetrant macrocyclic cell-penetrating peptide conjugate (M13) covalently linked at the axial position of a Pt(IV) cisplatin prodrug. Here we show the Pt(IV)-M13 conjugate releases active cisplatin upon intracellular reduction and effects potent in vitro GBM cell killing. Pt(IV)-M13 significantly increased platinum uptake in an in vitro BBB spheroid model and intravenous administration of Pt(IV)-M13 in GBM tumor-bearing mice led to higher platinum levels in brain tissue and intratumorally compared with cisplatin. Pt(IV)-M13 administration was tolerated in naïve nude mice at higher dosage regimes than cisplatin and significantly extended survival above controls in a murine GBM xenograft model (median survival 33 days for Pt(IV)-M13 vs 24 days for Pt(IV) prodrug, 22.5 days for cisplatin and 22 days for control). Increased numbers of γH2AX nuclear foci, biomarkers of DNA damage, were observed in tumors of Pt(IV)-M13-treated mice, consistent with elevated platinum levels. The present work provides the first demonstration that systemic injection of a Pt(IV) complex conjugated to a brain-penetrant macrocyclic peptide can lead to increased platinum levels in the brain and extend survival in mouse GBM models, supporting further development of this approach and the utility of brain-penetrating macrocyclic peptide conjugates for delivering non-BBB penetrant drugs to the central nervous system.

Abstract
Non-proteogenic amino acids and functionalized peptides are important motifs in modern drug discovery. Here we report that AlaB can serve as universal building blocks in the synthesis of a diverse collection of modified amino acids, peptides, and proteins. First, we develop the synthesis of AlaB from redox-active esters of aspartic acid resulting in a series of β-boronoalanine derivatives. Next, we show that AlaB can be integrated into automated oligopeptide solid-phase synthesis. AlaB is compatible with common transformations used in preparative peptide chemistry such as native chemical ligation and radical desulfurization as showcased by total synthesis of AlaB -containing ubiquitin. Furthermore, AlaB reagents participate in Pd-catalyzed reactions, including C-C cross-couplings and macrocyclizations. Taken together, AlaB synthons are practical reagents to access modified peptides, proteins, and in the synthesis of cyclic/stapled peptides.

Abstract
Bridged peptide macrobicycles (BPMs) from natural resources belong to types of compounds that are not investigated fully in terms of their formation, pharmacological potential and stereo-chemical properties. This division of biologically active congeners with multiple circular rings, has merits over other varieties of peptide molecules. BPMs form one of the most hopeful grounds for establishment of drugs because of their close resemblance and biocompatibility to proteins, and these bio-actives are debated as feasible realistic tools in diverse biomedical applications. Despite huge potential, poor metabolic stability and cell permeability limit the therapeutic success of macrocyclic peptides. In this review, we have comprehensively explored major bicyclic peptides sourced from plants and mushrooms including βs-leucyl-tryptophano-histidine bridged and tryptophano-cysteine bridged peptide macrobicycles. The unique structural features, structure activity relationship, synthetic routes, bioproperties and therapeutic potential of the natural BPMs are also discussed.

Abstract
Cyclic and macrocyclic peptides constitute advanced molecules for modulating protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Although still peptide derivatives, they are metabolically more stable than linear counterparts, and should have a lower degree of flexibility, with more defined secondary structure conformations that can be adapted to imitate protein interfaces. In this review, we analyze recent progress on the main methods to access cyclic/macrocyclic peptide derivatives, with emphasis in a few selected examples designed to interfere within PPIs. These types of peptides can be from natural origin, or prepared by biochemical or synthetic methodologies, and their design could be aided by computational approaches. Some advances to facilitate the permeability of these quite big molecules by conjugation with cell penetrating peptides, and the incorporation of β-amino acid and peptoid structures to improve metabolic stability, are also commented. It is predicted that this field of research could have an important future mission, running in parallel to the discovery of new, relevant PPIs involved in pathological processes.

Abstract
There has been an increased interest in and activity for the use of peptide therapeutics to treat a variety of human diseases. The number of peptide drugs entering clinical development and the market has increased significantly over the past decade despite inherent challenges of peptide therapeutic discovery, development, and patient-friendly delivery. Disparities in interpretation and application of existing regulatory guidances to innovative synthetic and conjugated peptide assets have resulted in challenges for both regulators and sponsors. The Symposium on Development and Regulatory Challenges for Peptide Therapeutics at the 40th Annual Meeting of the American College of Toxicology held in November of 2019 focused on the following specific topics: (1) peptide therapeutic progress and future directions, and approaches to discover, optimize, assess, and deliver combination peptide therapeutics for treatment of diseases; (2) toxicological considerations to advance peptide drug-device combination products for efficient development and optimal patient benefit and adherence; (3) industry and regulatory perspectives on the regulation of synthetic and conjugated peptide products, including exploration of regulatory classifications, interpretations, and application of the existing guidances International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) M3(R2) and ICH S6(R1) in determining nonclinical study recommendations; and (4) presentation of the 2016 Health and Environmental Sciences Institute's Genetic Toxicology Technical Committee working group assessment of genotoxicity testing requirements. Perspectives were shared from industry and regulatory scientists working in the peptide therapeutics field followed by an open forum panel discussion to discuss questions drafted for the peptide therapeutics scientific community, which will be discussed in more detail.
