Background

Increasing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in vivo has many applications in various hypertension, vascular congestion, or heart disease in mammals. Attempts to increase cGMP in vivo to treat various cardiovascular diseases or enhance sexual ability have led to the use of phosphodiesterase (phosphodiesterase) inhibitors 5, 6 and 9 (phosphodiesterases are enzymes that break down cGMP) (see, e.g., KeravisT, Lugnier c.br J pharmacol.2012; 165: 1288-305) or compounds that increase cGMP production such as nitroglycerin/nitrate and natriuretic peptides.

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) act through the natriuretic receptor a (npra), and c-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) act through the natriuretic receptor b (nprb) (see, e.g., Silver MA, curr. opin. nephrol. hypertens.,2006, vol.15, 14-21; Yoshibayashi m. et al, eur.j. endocrinol.,1996, vol.135,265-268) to increase intracellular cGMP, which is also reflected in some degree by an increase in blood cGMP. When a natriuretic receptor ligand binds to a natriuretic transmembrane receptor with an intracellular guanylate cyclase domain, guanylate cyclase activity is activated, resulting in an increase in intracellular cGMP, expression of various physiological activities, and an increase in blood cGMP.

An increase in cGMP has a beneficial effect on hypertension and/or vascular fluid congestion and/or heart disease. Intracellular cGMP is broadly referred to as an intracellular second messenger, which is responsible for mediating extracellular signals (from natriuretic peptides such as ANP, BNP, CNP, urodilantin, and nitrous oxide) into intracellular actions. This has been well tested in controlling vascular smooth muscle tone. It is well known that an increase in intracellular cGMP in vascular smooth muscle cells relaxes smooth muscle and lowers blood pressure.

ANP and BNP are known agents for controlling blood pressure and cardiac load in patients with heart disease. In japan, human anp (hanp) is clinically used as a therapeutic agent for acute heart failure, while in the united states, BNP is clinically used as a therapeutic agent for congestive heart failure. The medical use of existing natriuretic peptides is limited by their short half-life and limited activity to provide sufficient cGMP and are typically administered by continuous intravenous infusion.

ANP, BNP and CNP are peptides having a cyclic structure necessary for their activity, which is possible due to the presence of disulfide bonds. ANP is a 28 amino acid peptide produced in and secreted from atrial cells. The peptide exhibits diuretic action in the kidney and relaxes and dilates vascular smooth muscle in blood vessels. In addition, ANP antagonizes the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and vasopressin. These effects reduce the overall load on the heart by lowering blood pressure and body fluid volume. Indeed, in congestive heart failure and the like, secretion of ANP is promoted with an increase in atrial filling pressure, and ANP alleviates the symptoms of congestive heart failure via the above-described actions.

BNP is a 32 amino acid peptide that is first found in the brain, but later is found to be produced and secreted mainly in cardiac myocytes. The secretion of BNP is increased in a heart failure patient, and BNP alleviates various symptoms associated with heart failure via the above-described actions.

In addition to vasodilation and regulation of blood pressure and vascular fluid by diuresis, ANP and BNP also have a variety of physiological activities. For example, the effects of ANP on inflammation and associated endothelial barrier failure caused by bacterial infection have been reported (see, e.g., Xing j., et al, j.appl.physiol.,2011,110(1), 213-224).

There is a need for natriuretic peptides with enhanced half-life and activity. The present disclosure seeks to meet this need and provide further related advantages. For example, the present disclosure provides novel compositions having surprisingly enhanced activity as measured by an increase in cGMP.

Detailed Description

The present disclosure relates to natriuretic peptide derivatives, or compositions thereof, having unexpectedly superior ability to increase blood cGMP and/or intracellular cGMP in vivo compared to native peptides, such as Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) or Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) or C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). As described above, ANP, BNP and CNP are peptides having cyclic structures necessary for their activities, which are possible due to the presence of disulfide bonds. Natriuretic peptide derivatives of the present disclosure can also have intramolecular disulfide bonds (between two cysteine residues) forming a cyclic structure. Intramolecular disulfide bonds can form spontaneously in dilute solution or with a suitable oxidizing agent. The formation of intramolecular disulfide bridges can be confirmed by HPLC/MS analysis.

As used herein, an addition derivative or extension derivative refers to a peptide derivative in which the main backbone amino acid sequence of the peptide remains the same but additional functional groups and/or amino acids are added to the main amino acid sequence using one or more reactive moieties in the main amino acid sequence, providing an addition derivative or extension derivative. The adduct derivatives or extended derivatives differ from truncated and/or substituted peptide derivatives in which one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence of the main backbone of the peptide have been removed and/or replaced by different functional groups and/or amino acids, respectively.

It is believed that changes in the amino acid sequence of a peptide may have unpredictable consequences for its biological activity, and changes that retain peptide activity are not obvious and unpredictable. The present disclosure describes specific structural alterations of naturally occurring Natriuretic Peptide (NP). As used herein, a naturally occurring natriuretic peptide is referred to throughout as the "parent peptide" or "parent NP", non-limiting examples of which are SEQ ID1 (human ANP), 19 (rodent ANP), 41 (human BNP), and 57 (human CNP). In short, specific alterations in the parent NP result in a surprising unexpected enhancement or increase in potency compared to the parent NP in vivo, while other alterations result in a loss of activity, as measured by the blood cGMP response.

As used herein, the term "potency" refers to the increase in blood cGMP immediately (0-2 hours) after bolus administration relative to an equivalent dose of the parent native peptide.

As used herein, the term "apparent receptor depletion" is synonymous with "receptor depletion" and refers to the loss of the ability of the peptide to have a "sustained effect" (as seen from elevated blood cGMP) at a later time (i.e., 6 hours and later).

As used herein, the term "sustained effect" is synonymous with "sustained elevation of cGMP" and refers to the ability of the peptide to maintain elevated blood cGMP levels for at least 6 hours following a single bolus administration of the natriuretic peptide.

As used herein, the term "consisting essentially of … …" refers to a composition that includes the recited component as well as other components, provided that the other components do not materially affect the basic characteristics of the composition (e.g., bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and/or inhibition of activity of the induced active ingredient).

As used herein, the term "about" in describing dimensions, measurements, durations, amounts, etc., means a possible difference of +/-5%.

As used herein, the term "fatty acyl" refers to any acyl group derived from fatty acids, including saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. For example, a typical fatty acyl group derived from an unsaturated fatty acid has the formula H2a-b(C)a(O) -, where "a" can be 12 to 24 (e.g., 14 to 24, 16 to 24, 18 to 24, 20 to 24, 22 to 24, 12 to 22, 12 to 20, 12 to 18, 12 to 16, 12 to 14, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, or 24), "b" can be 1, 3, 5, or 7 (e.g., 1, 3, or 5; 1 or 3; or 1). This formula represents fatty acyl groups derived from saturated branched and unbranched fatty acids and fatty acids having a degree of unsaturation from none (i.e. b ═ 1) to 3 (i.e. b is 3 when the fatty acid carbon chain contains one double bond, b is 5 when the fatty acid carbon chain contains two double bonds and b is 7 when the fatty acid carbon chain contains three double bonds). For example, the natriuretic peptide derivative of formula (I) can have the formula H2a-b(C)a(O)-(B)x-(G)3NP, where "a" is from 12 to 24 and "b" may be 1, 3, 5 or 7. In some embodiments, a typical fatty acyl group derived from a saturated fatty acid has the formula CH3(CH2)nC (o) -, which contains 12 to 24 carbon atoms (i.e., when n is an integer of 10 to 22). As an example, the natriuretic peptide derivative of formula (I) may have the formula CH3(CH2)nC(O)-(B)x-(G)3NP where n is 10 to 22 (e.g. 12 to 22, 14 to 22, 16 to 22, 18 to 22, 20 to 22, 10 to 20, 10 to 18, 10 to 16, 10 to 14, 10 to 12, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 or 22). In some embodiments, n is 10 to 14, 12 to 16, 14 to 18, 16 to 20, 18 to 22, or 14 to 16. In some embodiments, the fatty acyl group contains 12 or 18 carbon atoms (i.e., n is 10 or 16). In certain embodiments, the fatty acyl group contains 14 or 20 carbon atoms (i.e., n is 12 or 18). In certain embodiments, the fatty acyl group contains 16 or 22 carbon atoms (i.e., n is 14 or 20). In certain embodiments, the fatty acyl group contains 18 or 24 carbon atoms (i.e., n is 16 or 22).

In this specification, letters in all disclosed sequences represent the conventional single letter amino acid code for naturally occurring amino acids, with upper case codes indicating L amino acids and lower case codes indicating D-amino acids. For example, glycine may be represented by G, lysine may be represented by K, and arginine may be represented by R.

By using the iso-growth power law with an index of 0.7 (i.e., the dose in other species-mouse dose/((mouse body weight/average body weight of other species))0.7) 15mg/Kg in mice is equivalent to about 7.5mg/Kg rat dose, about 2.5mg/Kg dog dose and 1.5mg/Kg human dose. As used herein, a 15mg/Kg mouse dose is understood to be equivalent to about a 7.5mg/Kg rat dose, which is equivalent to about a 2.5mg/Kg dog dose, which is equivalent to about a 1.5mg/Kg human dose, as presented in the relevant data examples.
