BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The human transcription factor protein p53 induces cell
cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to DNA damage and cellular
stress, and thereby plays a critical role in protecting cells from
malignant transformation. The E3 ubiquitin ligase HDM2 negatively
regulates p53 function through a direct binding interaction that
neutralizes the p53 transactivation activity, leads to export from
the nucleus of p53 protein, and targets p53 for degradation via the
ubiquitylation-proteasomal pathway. Loss of p53 activity, either by
deletion, mutation, or HDM2 overexpression, is the most common
defect in human cancers. Tumors that express wild type p53 are
vulnerable to pharmacologic agents that stabilize or increase the
concentration of active p53. In this context, inhibition of the
activities of HDM2 has emerged as a validated approach to restore
p53 activity and resensitize cancer cells to apoptosis in vitro and
in vivo. HDMX (HDM4) has more recently been identified as a similar
negative regulator of p53, and studies have revealed significant
structural homology between the p53 binding interfaces of HDM2 and
HDMX.
[0004] The p53-HDM2 and p53-HDMX protein-protein interactions are
mediated by the same 15-residue alpha-helical transactivation
domain of p53, which inserts into hydrophobic clefts on the surface
of HDM2 and HDMX. Three residues within this domain of p53 (F19,
W23, and L26) are essential for binding to HDM2 and HDMX. The
present invention provides p53-based peptidomimetic macrocycles
that modulate the activities of p53 by inhibiting the interactions
between p53 and HDM2, p53 and HDMX, or p53 and both HDM2 and HDMX
proteins, and that may be used for treating diseases including but
not limited to cancer and other hyperproliferative diseases.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] Described below are stably cross-linked peptides related to
a portion of human p53 ("p53 peptidomimetic macrocycles"). These
cross-linked peptides contain at least two modified amino acids
that together form an intramolecular cross-link that can help to
stabilize the alpha-helical secondary structure of a portion of p53
that is thought to be important for binding of p53 to HDM2 and for
binding of p53 to HDMX. Accordingly, a cross-linked polypeptide
described herein can have improved biological activity relative to
a corresponding polypeptide that is not cross-linked. The p53
peptidomimetic macrocycles are thought to interfere with binding of
p53 to HDM2 and/or of p53 to HDMX, thereby liberating functional
p53 and inhibiting its destruction. The p53 peptidomimetic
macrocycles described herein can be used therapeutically, for
example to treat cancers and other disorders characterized by an
undesirably low level or a low activity of p53, and/or to treat
cancers and other disorders characterized by an undesirably high
level of activity of HDM2 or HDMX. The p53 peptidomimetic
macrocycles may also be useful for treatment of any disorder
associated with disrupted regulation of the p53 transcriptional
pathway, leading to conditions of excess cell survival and
proliferation such as cancer and autoimmunity, in addition to
conditions of inappropriate cell cycle arrest and apoptosis such as
neurodegeneration and immunedeficiencies. In some instances, the
p53 peptidomimetic macrocycles bind to HDM2 (e.g., GenBank.RTM.
Accession No.: 228952; GI:228952) and/or HDMX (also referred to as
HDM4; GenBank.RTM. Accession No.: 88702791; GI:88702791).
[0006] In one aspect, the present invention provides a
peptidomimetic macrocycle comprising an amino acid sequence which
is at least about 60%, 80%, 90%, or 95% identical to an amino acid
sequence chosen from the group consisting of the amino acid
sequences in Table 1, 2, 3, or 4. Alternatively, an amino acid
sequence of said peptidomimetic macrocycle is chosen from the group
consisting of the amino acid sequences in Table 1. Alternatively,
an amino acid sequence of said peptidomimetic macrocycle is chosen
as above, and further wherein the macrocycle does not include a
thioether or a triazole. In some embodiments, the peptidomimetic
macrocycle comprises a helix, such as an .alpha.-helix. In other

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0053] As used herein, the term "macrocycle" refers to a molecule
having a chemical structure including a ring or cycle formed by at
least 9 covalently bonded atoms.
[0054] As used herein, the term "peptidomimetic macrocycle" or
"crosslinked polypeptide" refers to a compound comprising a
plurality of amino acid residues joined by a plurality of peptide
bonds and at least one macrocycle-forming linker which forms a
macrocycle between a first naturally-occurring or
non-naturally-occurring amino acid residue (or analog) and a second
naturally-occurring or non-naturally-occurring amino acid residue
(or analog) within the same molecule. Peptidomimetic macrocycle
include embodiments where the macrocycle-forming linker connects
the .alpha. carbon of the first amino acid residue (or analog) to
the .alpha. carbon of the second amino acid residue (or analog).
The peptidomimetic macrocycles optionally include one or more
non-peptide bonds between one or more amino acid residues and/or
amino acid analog residues, and optionally include one or more
non-naturally-occurring amino acid residues or amino acid analog
residues in addition to any which form the macrocycle. A
"corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide" when referred to in the
context of a peptidomimetic macrocycle is understood to relate to a
polypeptide of the same length as the macrocycle and comprising the
equivalent natural amino acids of the wild-type sequence
corresponding to the macrocycle.
[0055] As used herein, the term "stability" refers to the
maintenance of a defined secondary structure in solution by a
peptidomimetic macrocycle of the invention as measured by circular
dichroism, NMR or another biophysical measure, or resistance to
proteolytic degradation in vitro or in vivo. Non-limiting examples
of secondary structures contemplated in this invention are
.alpha.-helices, .beta.-turns, and .beta.-pleated sheets.
[0056] As used herein, the term "helical stability" refers to the
maintenance of a helical structure by a peptidomimetic macrocycle
of the invention as measured by circular dichroism or NMR. For
example, in some embodiments, the peptidomimetic macrocycles of the
invention exhibit at least a 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 or 2-fold increase in
.alpha.-helicity as determined by circular dichroism compared to a
corresponding uncrosslinked macrocycle.
[0057] The term ".alpha.-amino acid" or simply "amino acid" refers
to a molecule containing both an amino group and a carboxyl group
bound to a carbon which is designated the .alpha.-carbon. Suitable
amino acids include, without limitation, both the D- and L-isomers
of the naturally-occurring amino acids, as well as non-naturally
occurring amino acids prepared by organic synthesis or other
metabolic routes. Unless the context specifically indicates
otherwise, the term amino acid, as used herein, is intended to
include amino acid analogs.
[0058] The term "naturally occurring amino acid" refers to any one
of the twenty amino acids commonly found in peptides synthesized in
nature, and known by the one letter abbreviations A, R, N, C, D, Q,
E, G, H, I, L, K, M, F, P, S, T, W, Y and V.
[0059] The term "amino acid analog" or "non-natural amino acid"
refers to a molecule which is structurally similar to an amino acid
and which can be substituted for an amino acid in the formation of
a peptidomimetic macrocycle. Amino acid analogs include, without
limitation, compounds which are structurally identical to an amino
acid, as defined herein, except for the inclusion of one or more
additional methylene groups between the amino and carboxyl group
(e.g., .beta.-amino .beta.-carboxy acids), or for the substitution
of the amino or carboxy group by a similarly reactive group (e.g.,
substitution of the primary amine with a secondary or tertiary
amine, or substitution of the carboxy group with an ester).
Non-natural amino acids include structures according to the
following:
##STR00005## ##STR00006## ##STR00007## ##STR00008## ##STR00009##
##STR00010##
[0060] A "non-essential" amino acid residue is a residue that can
be altered from the wild-type sequence of a polypeptide without
abolishing or substantially altering its essential biological or
biochemical activity (e.g., receptor binding or activation). An
"essential" amino acid residue is a residue that, when altered from
the wild-type sequence of the polypeptide, results in abolishing or
substantially abolishing the polypeptide's essential biological or
biochemical activity.
[0061] A "conservative amino acid substitution" is one in which the
amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a
similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar
side chains have been defined in the art. These families include
amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., K, R, H), acidic side
chains (e.g., D, E), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., G, N, Q, S,
T, Y, C), nonpolar side chains (e.g., A, V, L, I, P, F, M, W),
beta-branched side chains (e.g., T, V, I) and aromatic side chains
(e.g., Y, F, W, H). Thus, a predicted nonessential amino acid
residue in a polypeptide, for example, is preferably replaced with
another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Other
examples of acceptable substitutions are substitutions based on
isosteric considerations (e.g. norleucine for methionine) or other
properties (e.g. 2-thienylalanine for phenylalanine).
[0062] The term "capping group" refers to the chemical moiety
occurring at either the carboxy or amino terminus of the
polypeptide chain of the subject peptidomimetic macrocycle. The
capping group of a carboxy terminus includes an unmodified
carboxylic acid (ie --COOH) or a carboxylic acid with a
substituent. For example, the carboxy terminus may be substituted
with an amino group to yield a carboxamide at the C-terminus.
Various substituents include but are not limited to primary and
secondary amines, including pegylated secondary amines.
Representative secondary amine capping groups for the C-terminus
include:
##STR00011## ##STR00012##
[0063] The capping group of an amino terminus includes an
unmodified amine (ie --NH.sub.2) or an amine with a substituent.
For example, the amino terminus may be substituted with an acyl
group to yield a carboxamide at the N-terminus. Various
substituents include but are not limited to substituted acyl
groups, including C.sub.1-C.sub.6 carbonyls, C.sub.7-C.sub.30
carbonyls, and pegylated carbamates. Representative capping groups
for the N-terminus include:
##STR00013##
[0064] The term "member" as used herein in conjunction with
macrocycles or macrocycle-forming linkers refers to the atoms that
form or can form the macrocycle, and excludes substituent or side
chain atoms. By analogy, cyclodecane, 1,2-difluoro-decane and
1,3-dimethyl cyclodecane are all considered ten-membered
macrocycles as the hydrogen or fluoro substituents or methyl side
chains do not participate in forming the macrocycle.
[0065] The symbol "" when used as part of a molecular structure
refers to a single bond or a trans or cis double bond.
[0066] The term "amino acid side chain" refers to a moiety attached
to the .alpha.-carbon in an amino acid. For example, the amino acid
side chain for alanine is methyl, the amino acid side chain for
phenylalanine is phenylmethyl, the amino acid side chain for
cysteine is thiomethyl, the amino acid side chain for aspartate is
carboxymethyl, the amino acid side chain for tyrosine is
4-hydroxyphenylmethyl, etc. Other non-naturally occurring amino
acid side chains are also included, for example, those that occur
in nature (e.g., an amino acid metabolite) or those that are made
synthetically (e.g., an .alpha.,.alpha. di-substituted amino
acid).
[0067] The term ".alpha.,.sup.-.alpha. di-substituted amino" acid
refers to a molecule or moiety containing both an amino group and a
carboxyl group bound to a carbon (the .alpha.-carbon) that is
attached to two natural or non-natural amino acid side chains.
[0068] The term "polypeptide" encompasses two or more naturally or
non-naturally-occurring amino acids joined by a covalent bond
(e.g., an amide bond). Polypeptides as described herein include
full length proteins (e.g., fully processed proteins) as well as
shorter amino acid sequences (e.g., fragments of
naturally-occurring proteins or synthetic polypeptide
fragments).
[0069] The term "macrocyclization reagent" or "macrocycle-forming
reagent" as used herein refers to any reagent which may be used to
prepare a peptidomimetic macrocycle of the invention by mediating
the reaction between two reactive groups. Reactive groups may be,
for example, an azide and alkyne, in which case macrocyclization
reagents include, without limitation, Cu reagents such as reagents
which provide a reactive Cu(I) species, such as CuBr, CuI or CuOTf,
as well as Cu(II) salts such as Cu(CO.sub.2CH.sub.3).sub.2,
CuSO.sub.4, and CuCl.sub.2 that can be converted in situ to an
active Cu(I) reagent by the addition of a reducing agent such as
ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate. Macrocyclization reagents may
additionally include, for example, Ru reagents known in the art
such as Cp*RuCl(PPh.sub.3).sub.2, [Cp*RuCl].sub.4 or other Ru
reagents which may provide a reactive Ru(II) species. In other
cases, the reactive groups are terminal olefins. In such
embodiments, the macrocyclization reagents or macrocycle-forming
reagents are metathesis catalysts including, but not limited to,
stabilized, late transition metal carbene complex catalysts such as
Group VIII transition metal carbene catalysts. For example, such
catalysts are Ru and Os metal centers having a +2 oxidation state,
an electron count of 16 and pentacoordinated. Additional catalysts
are disclosed in Grubbs et al., "Ring Closing Metathesis and
Related Processes in Organic Synthesis" Acc. Chem. Res. 1995, 28,
446-452, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,811,515. In yet other cases, the
reactive groups are thiol groups. In such embodiments, the
macrocyclization reagent is, for example, a linker functionalized
with two thiol-reactive groups such as halogen groups.
[0070] The term "halo" or "halogen" refers to fluorine, chlorine,
bromine or iodine or a radical thereof.
[0071] The term "alkyl" refers to a hydrocarbon chain that is a
straight chain or branched chain, containing the indicated number
of carbon atoms. For example, C.sub.1-C.sub.10 indicates that the
group has from 1 to 10 (inclusive) carbon atoms in it. In the
absence of any numerical designation, "alkyl" is a chain (straight
or branched) having 1 to 20 (inclusive) carbon atoms in it.
[0072] The term "alkylene" refers to a divalent alkyl (i.e.,
--R--).
[0073] The term "alkenyl" refers to a hydrocarbon chain that is a
straight chain or branched chain having one or more carbon-carbon
double bonds. The alkenyl moiety contains the indicated number of
carbon atoms. For example, C.sub.2-C.sub.10 indicates that the
group has from 2 to 10 (inclusive) carbon atoms in it. The term
"lower alkenyl" refers to a C.sub.2-C.sub.6 alkenyl chain. In the
absence of any numerical designation, "alkenyl" is a chain
(straight or branched) having 2 to 20 (inclusive) carbon atoms in
it.
[0074] The term "alkynyl" refers to a hydrocarbon chain that is a
straight chain or branched chain having one or more carbon-carbon
triple bonds. The alkynyl moiety contains the indicated number of
carbon atoms. For example, C.sub.2-C.sub.10 indicates that the
group has from 2 to 10 (inclusive) carbon atoms in it. The term
"lower alkynyl" refers to a C.sub.2-C.sub.6 alkynyl chain. In the
absence of any numerical designation, "alkynyl" is a chain
(straight or branched) having 2 to 20 (inclusive) carbon atoms in
it.
[0075] The term "aryl" refers to a 6-carbon monocyclic or 10-carbon

both R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently alkyl, unsubstituted or

[0119] In some embodiments of the invention, x+y+z is at least 3.
In other embodiments of the invention, x+y+z is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9 or 10. Each occurrence of A, B, C, D or E in a macrocycle
or macrocycle precursor of the invention is independently selected.
For example, a sequence represented by the formula [A].sub.x, when
x is 3, encompasses embodiments where the amino acids are not
identical, e.g. Gln-Asp-Ala as well as embodiments where the amino
acids are identical, e.g. Gln-Gln-Gln. This applies for any value
of x, y, or z in the indicated ranges. Similarly, when u is greater
than 1, each compound of the invention may encompass peptidomimetic
macrocycles which are the same or different. For example, a
compound of the invention may comprise peptidomimetic macrocycles
comprising different linker lengths or chemical compositions.
[0120] In some embodiments, the peptidomimetic macrocycle of the
invention comprises a secondary structure which is an .alpha.-helix
and R.sub.8 is --H, allowing intrahelical hydrogen bonding. In some
embodiments, at least one of A, B, C, D or E is an
.alpha.,.alpha.-disubstituted amino acid. In one example, B is an
.alpha.,.alpha.-disubstituted amino acid. For instance, at least

embodiments, at least one of A, B, C, D or E is
##STR00016##
[0121] In other embodiments, the length of the macrocycle-forming
linker L as measured from a first C.alpha. to a second C.alpha. is
selected to stabilize a desired secondary peptide structure, such
as an .alpha.-helix formed by residues of the peptidomimetic
macrocycle including, but not necessarily limited to, those between
the first C.alpha. to a second C.alpha..
[0122] In one embodiment, the peptidomimetic macrocycle of Formula
(I) is:
##STR00017##
[0123] wherein each R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is independently --H,
alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, arylalkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl,
heteroalkyl, or heterocycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted with
halo-.
[0124] In related embodiments, the peptidomimetic macrocycle of
Formula (I) is:
##STR00018##
[0125] In other embodiments, the peptidomimetic macrocycle of
Formula (I) is a compound of any of the formulas shown below:
##STR00019## ##STR00020## ##STR00021## ##STR00022##
wherein "AA" represents any natural or non-natural amino acid side
chain and "" is [D].sub.v, [E].sub.w as defined above, and n is an
integer between 0 and 20, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 or 500. In some
embodiments, n is 0. In other embodiments, n is less than 50.
[0126] Exemplary embodiments of the macrocycle-forming linker L are
shown below.
##STR00023##
[0127] In other embodiments, D and/or E in the compound of Formula
I are further modified in order to facilitate cellular uptake. In
some embodiments, lipidating or PEGylating a peptidomimetic
macrocycle facilitates cellular uptake, increases bioavailability,
increases blood circulation, alters pharmacokinetics, decreases
immunogenicity and/or decreases the needed frequency of
administration.
[0128] In other embodiments, at least one of [D] and [E] in the
compound of Formula I represents a moiety comprising an additional
macrocycle-forming linker such that the peptidomimetic macrocycle
comprises at least two macrocycle-forming linkers. In a specific
embodiment, a peptidomimetic macrocycle comprises two
macrocycle-forming linkers. In an embodiment, u is 2.
[0129] In the peptidomimetic macrocycles of the invention, any of
the macrocycle-forming linkers described herein may be used in any
combination with any of the sequences shown in Tables 1-4 and also
with any of the R-substituents indicated herein.
[0130] In some embodiments, the peptidomimetic macrocycle comprises
at least one .alpha.-helix motif. For example, A, B and/or C in the
compound of Formula I include one or more .alpha.-helices. As a
general matter, .alpha.-helices include between 3 and 4 amino acid
residues per turn. In some embodiments, the .alpha.-helix of the
peptidomimetic macrocycle includes 1 to 5 turns and, therefore, 3
to 20 amino acid residues. In specific embodiments, the
.alpha.-helix includes 1 turn, 2 turns, 3 turns, 4 turns, or 5
turns. In some embodiments, the macrocycle-forming linker
stabilizes an .alpha.-helix motif included within the
peptidomimetic macrocycle. Thus, in some embodiments, the length of
the macrocycle-forming linker L from a first C.alpha. to a second
C.alpha. is selected to increase the stability of an .alpha.-helix.
In some embodiments, the macrocycle-forming linker spans from 1
turn to 5 turns of the .alpha.-helix. In some embodiments, the
macrocycle-forming linker spans approximately 1 turn, 2 turns, 3
turns, 4 turns, or 5 turns of the .alpha.-helix. In some
embodiments, the length of the macrocycle-forming linker is
approximately 5 .ANG. to 9 .ANG. per turn of the .alpha.-helix, or
approximately 6 .ANG. to 8 .ANG. per turn of the .alpha.-helix.
Where the macrocycle-forming linker spans approximately 1 turn of
an .alpha.-helix, the length is equal to approximately 5
carbon-carbon bonds to 13 carbon-carbon bonds, approximately 7
carbon-carbon bonds to 11 carbon-carbon bonds, or approximately 9
carbon-carbon bonds. Where the macrocycle-forming linker spans
approximately 2 turns of an .alpha.-helix, the length is equal to
approximately 8 carbon-carbon bonds to 16 carbon-carbon bonds,
approximately 10 carbon-carbon bonds to 14 carbon-carbon bonds, or
approximately 12 carbon-carbon bonds. Where the macrocycle-forming
linker spans approximately 3 turns of an .alpha.-helix, the length
is equal to approximately 14 carbon-carbon bonds to 22
carbon-carbon bonds, approximately 16 carbon-carbon bonds to 20
carbon-carbon bonds, or approximately 18 carbon-carbon bonds. Where
the macrocycle-forming linker spans approximately 4 turns of an
.alpha.-helix, the length is equal to approximately 20
carbon-carbon bonds to 28 carbon-carbon bonds, approximately 22
carbon-carbon bonds to 26 carbon-carbon bonds, or approximately 24
carbon-carbon bonds. Where the macrocycle-forming linker spans
approximately 5 turns of an .alpha.-helix, the length is equal to
approximately 26 carbon-carbon bonds to 34 carbon-carbon bonds,
approximately 28 carbon-carbon bonds to 32 carbon-carbon bonds, or
approximately 30 carbon-carbon bonds. Where the macrocycle-forming
linker spans approximately 1 turn of an .alpha.-helix, the linkage
contains approximately 4 atoms to 12 atoms, approximately 6 atoms
to 10 atoms, or approximately 8 atoms. Where the macrocycle-forming
linker spans approximately 2 turns of the .alpha.-helix, the
linkage contains approximately 7 atoms to 15 atoms, approximately 9
atoms to 13 atoms, or approximately 11 atoms. Where the
macrocycle-forming linker spans approximately 3 turns of the
.alpha.-helix, the linkage contains approximately 13 atoms to 21
atoms, approximately 15 atoms to 19 atoms, or approximately 17
atoms. Where the macrocycle-forming linker spans approximately 4
turns of the .alpha.-helix, the linkage contains approximately 19
atoms to 27 atoms, approximately 21 atoms to 25 atoms, or
approximately 23 atoms. Where the macrocycle-forming linker spans
approximately 5 turns of the .alpha.-helix, the linkage contains
approximately 25 atoms to 33 atoms, approximately 27 atoms to 31
atoms, or approximately 29 atoms. Where the macrocycle-forming
linker spans approximately 1 turn of the .alpha.-helix, the
resulting macrocycle forms a ring containing approximately 17
members to 25 members, approximately 19 members to 23 members, or
approximately 21 members. Where the macrocycle-forming linker spans
approximately 2 turns of the .alpha.-helix, the resulting
macrocycle forms a ring containing approximately 29 members to 37
members, approximately 31 members to 35 members, or approximately
33 members. Where the macrocycle-forming linker spans approximately
3 turns of the .alpha.-helix, the resulting macrocycle forms a ring
containing approximately 44 members to 52 members, approximately 46
members to 50 members, or approximately 48 members. Where the
macrocycle-forming linker spans approximately 4 turns of the
.alpha.-helix, the resulting macrocycle forms a ring containing
approximately 59 members to 67 members, approximately 61 members to
65 members, or approximately 63 members. Where the
macrocycle-forming linker spans approximately 5 turns of the
.alpha.-helix, the resulting macrocycle forms a ring containing
approximately 74 members to 82 members, approximately 76 members to
80 members, or approximately 78 members.

Preparation of Peptidomimetic Macrocycles
[0154] Peptidomimetic macrocycles of the invention may be prepared
by any of a variety of methods known in the art. For example, any
of the residues indicated by "X" in Tables 1, 2, 3, or 4 may be
substituted with a residue capable of forming a crosslinker with a
second residue in the same molecule or a precursor of such a
residue.
[0155] Various methods to effect formation of peptidomimetic
macrocycles are known in the art. For example, the preparation of
peptidomimetic macrocycles of Formula I is described in
Schafmeister et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122:5891-5892 (2000);
Schafmeister & Verdine, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122:5891 (2005);
Walensky et al., Science 305:1466-1470 (2004); U.S. Pat. No.
7,192,713 and PCT application WO 2008/121767. The
.alpha.,.alpha.-disubstituted amino acids and amino acid precursors
disclosed in the cited references may be employed in synthesis of
the peptidomimetic macrocycle precursor polypeptides. For example,
the "S5-olefin amino acid" is (S)-.alpha.-(2'-pentenyl) alanine and
the "R8 olefin amino acid" is (R)-.alpha.-(2'-octenyl) alanine.
Following incorporation of such amino acids into precursor
polypeptides, the terminal olefins are reacted with a metathesis
catalyst, leading to the formation of the peptidomimetic
macrocycle. In various embodiments, the following amino acids may
be employed in the synthesis of the peptidomimetic macrocycle:
##STR00028##
[0156] In other embodiments, the peptidomimetic macrocycles of the
invention are of Formula IV or IVa. Methods for the preparation of
such macrocycles are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No.
7,202,332.
[0157] Additional methods of forming peptidomimetic macrocycles
which are envisioned as suitable to perform the present invention
include those disclosed by Mustapa, M. Firouz Mohd et al., J. Org.
Chem (2003), 68, pp. 8193-8198; Yang, Bin et al. Bioorg Med. Chem.
Lett. (2004), 14, pp. 1403-1406; U.S. Pat. No. 5,364,851; U.S. Pat.
No. 5,446,128; U.S. Pat. No. 5,824,483; U.S. Pat. No. 6,713,280;
and U.S. Pat. No. 7,202,332. In such embodiments, aminoacid
precursors are used containing an additional substituent R- at the
alpha position. Such aminoacids are incorporated into the
macrocycle precursor at the desired positions, which may be at the
positions where the crosslinker is substituted or, alternatively,
elsewhere in the sequence of the macrocycle precursor. Cyclization
of the precursor is then effected according to the indicated
method.
Assays
[0158] The properties of the peptidomimetic macrocycles of the
invention are assayed, for example, by using the methods described
below. In some embodiments, a peptidomimetic macrocycle of the
invention has improved biological properties relative to a
corresponding polypeptide lacking the substituents described
herein.
Assay to Determine .alpha.-Helicity.
[0159] In solution, the secondary structure of polypeptides with
.alpha.-helical domains will reach a dynamic equilibrium between
random coil structures and .alpha.-helical structures, often
expressed as a "percent helicity". Thus, for example, alpha-helical
domains are predominantly random coils in solution, with
.alpha.-helical content usually under 25%. Peptidomimetic
macrocycles with optimized linkers, on the other hand, possess, for
example, an alpha-helicity that is at least two-fold greater than
that of a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide. In some
embodiments, macrocycles of the invention will possess an
alpha-helicity of greater than 50%. To assay the helicity of
peptidomimetic macrocycles of the invention, the compounds are
dissolved in an aqueous solution (e.g. 50 mM potassium phosphate
solution at pH 7, or distilled H.sub.2O, to concentrations of 25-50
.mu.M). Circular dichroism (CD) spectra are obtained on a
spectropolarimeter (e.g., Jasco J-710) using standard measurement
parameters (e.g. temperature, 20.degree. C.; wavelength, 190-260
nm; step resolution, 0.5 nm; speed, 20 nm/sec; accumulations, 10;
response, 1 sec; bandwidth, 1 nm; path length, 0.1 cm). The
.alpha.-helical content of each peptide is calculated by dividing
the mean residue ellipticity (e.g. [.PHI.]222obs) by the reported
value for a model helical decapeptide (Yang et al. (1986), Methods
Enzymol. 130:208)).
Assay to Determine Melting Temperature (Tm).
[0160] A peptidomimetic macrocycle of the invention comprising a
secondary structure such as an .alpha.-helix exhibits, for example,
a higher melting temperature than a corresponding uncrosslinked
polypeptide. Typically peptidomimetic macrocycles of the invention
exhibit Tm of >60.degree. C. representing a highly stable
structure in aqueous solutions. To assay the effect of macrocycle
formation on melting temperature, peptidomimetic macrocycles or
unmodified peptides are dissolved in distilled H.sub.2O (e.g. at a
final concentration of 50 .mu.M) and the Tm is determined by
measuring the change in ellipticity over a temperature range (e.g.
4 to 95.degree. C.) on a spectropolarimeter (e.g., Jasco J-710)
using standard parameters (e.g. wavelength 222 nm; step resolution,
0.5 nm; speed, 20 nm/sec; accumulations, 10; response, 1 sec;
bandwidth, 1 nm; temperature increase rate: 1.degree. C./min; path
length, 0.1 cm).
Protease Resistance Assay.
[0161] The amide bond of the peptide backbone is susceptible to
hydrolysis by proteases, thereby rendering peptidic compounds
vulnerable to rapid degradation in vivo. Peptide helix formation,
however, typically buries the amide backbone and therefore may
shield it from proteolytic cleavage. The peptidomimetic macrocycles
of the present invention may be subjected to in vitro trypsin
proteolysis to assess for any change in degradation rate compared
to a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide. For example, the
peptidomimetic macrocycle and a corresponding uncrosslinked
polypeptide are incubated with trypsin agarose and the reactions
quenched at various time points by centrifugation and subsequent
HPLC injection to quantitate the residual substrate by ultraviolet
absorption at 280 nm Briefly, the peptidomimetic macrocycle and
peptidomimetic precursor (5 mcg) are incubated with trypsin agarose
(Pierce) (S/E .about.125) for 0, 10, 20, 90, and 180 minutes.
Reactions are quenched by tabletop centrifugation at high speed;
remaining substrate in the isolated supernatant is quantified by
HPLC-based peak detection at 280 nm. The proteolytic reaction
displays first order kinetics and the rate constant, k, is
determined from a plot of ln[S] versus time (k=-1.times.slope).
Ex Vivo Stability Assay.
[0162] Peptidomimetic macrocycles with optimized linkers possess,
for example, an ex vivo half-life that is at least two-fold greater
than that of a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide, and possess
an ex vivo half-life of 12 hours or more. For ex vivo serum
stability studies, a variety of assays may be used. For example, a
peptidomimetic macrocycle and a corresponding uncrosslinked
polypeptide (2 mcg) are incubated with fresh mouse, rat and/or
human serum (2 mL) at 37.degree. C. for 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24
hours. To determine the level of intact compound, the following
procedure may be used: The samples are extracted by transferring
100 .mu.l of sera to 2 ml centrifuge tubes followed by the addition
of 10 .mu.L of 50% formic acid and 500 .mu.L acetonitrile and
centrifugation at 14,000 RPM for 10 min at 4.+-.2.degree. C. The
supernatants are then transferred to fresh 2 ml tubes and
evaporated on Turbovap under N.sub.2<10 psi, 37.degree. C. The
samples are reconstituted in 100 .mu.L of 50:50 acetonitrile:water
and submitted to LC-MS/MS analysis.
In Vitro Binding Assays.
[0163] To assess the binding and affinity of peptidomimetic
macrocycles and peptidomimetic precursors to acceptor proteins, a
fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) is used, for example. The FPA
technique measures the molecular orientation and mobility using
polarized light and fluorescent tracer. When excited with polarized
light, fluorescent tracers (e.g., FITC) attached to molecules with
high apparent molecular weights (e.g. FITC-labeled peptides bound
to a large protein) emit higher levels of polarized fluorescence
due to their slower rates of rotation as compared to fluorescent
tracers attached to smaller molecules (e.g. FITC-labeled peptides
that are free in solution).
[0164] For example, fluoresceinated peptidomimetic macrocycles (25
nM) are incubated with the acceptor protein (25-1000 nM) in binding
buffer (140 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCL, pH 7.4) for 30 minutes at room
temperature. Binding activity is measured, for example, by
fluorescence polarization on a luminescence spectrophotometer (e.g.
Perkin-Elmer LS50B). Kd values may be determined by nonlinear
regression analysis using, for example, Graphpad Prism software
(GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, Calif.). A peptidomimetic
macrocycle of the invention shows, in some instances, similar or
lower Kd than a corresponding uncrosslinked polypeptide.
In Vitro Displacement Assays to Characterize Antagonists of
Peptide-Protein Interactions.
[0165] To assess the binding and affinity of compounds that
antagonize the interaction between a peptide and an acceptor
protein, a fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) utilizing a
fluoresceinated peptidomimetic macrocycle derived from a
peptidomimetic precursor sequence is used, for example. The FPA
technique measures the molecular orientation and mobility using
polarized light and fluorescent tracer. When excited with polarized
light, fluorescent tracers (e.g., FITC) attached to molecules with
high apparent molecular weights (e.g. FITC-labeled peptides bound
to a large protein) emit higher levels of polarized fluorescence
due to their slower rates of rotation as compared to fluorescent
tracers attached to smaller molecules (e.g. FITC-labeled peptides
that are free in solution). A compound that antagonizes the
interaction between the fluoresceinated peptidomimetic macrocycle
and an acceptor protein will be detected in a competitive binding
FPA experiment.
[0166] For example, putative antagonist compounds (1 nM to 1 mM)
and a fluoresceinated peptidomimetic macrocycle (25 nM) are
incubated with the acceptor protein (50 nM) in binding buffer (140
mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCL, pH 7.4) for 30 minutes at room
temperature. Antagonist binding activity is measured, for example,
by fluorescence polarization on a luminescence spectrophotometer
(e.g. Perkin-Elmer LS50B). Kd values may be determined by nonlinear
regression analysis using, for example, Graphpad Prism software
(GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, Calif.).
[0167] Any class of molecule, such as small organic molecules,
peptides, oligonucleotides or proteins can be examined as putative
antagonists in this assay.
Assay for Protein-Ligand Binding by Affinity Selection-Mass
Spectrometry
[0168] To assess the binding and affinity of test compounds for
proteins, an affinity-selection mass spectrometry assay is used,
for example. Protein-ligand binding experiments are conducted
according to the following representative procedure outlined for a
system-wide control experiment using 1 .mu.M peptidomimetic
macrocycle plus 5 .mu.M hMDM2. A 1 .mu.L DMSO aliquot of a 40 .mu.M
stock solution of peptidomimetic macrocycle is dissolved in 19
.mu.L of PBS (Phosphate-buffered saline: 50 mM, pH 7.5 Phosphate
buffer containing 150 mM NaCl). The resulting solution is mixed by
repeated pipetting and clarified by centrifugation at 10 000 g for
10 min. To a 4 .mu.L aliquot of the resulting supernatant is added
4 .mu.L of 10 .mu.M hMDM2 in PBS. Each 8.0 .mu.L experimental
sample thus contains 40 pmol (1.5 .mu.g) of protein at 5.0 .mu.M
concentration in PBS plus 1 .mu.M peptidomimetic macrocycle and
2.5% DMSO. Duplicate samples thus prepared for each concentration
point are incubated for 60 min at room temperature, and then
chilled to 4.degree. C. prior to size-exclusion
chromatography-LC-MS analysis of 5.0 .mu.L injections. Samples
containing a target protein, protein-ligand complexes, and unbound
compounds are injected onto an SEC column, where the complexes are
separated from non-binding component by a rapid SEC step. The SEC
column eluate is monitored using UV detectors to confirm that the
early-eluting protein fraction, which elutes in the void volume of
the SEC column, is well resolved from unbound components that are
retained on the column. After the peak containing the protein and
protein-ligand complexes elutes from the primary UV detector, it
enters a sample loop where it is excised from the flow stream of
the SEC stage and transferred directly to the LC-MS via a valving
mechanism. The (M+3H).sup.3+ ion of the peptidomimetic macrocycle
is observed by ESI-MS at the expected m/z, confirming the detection
of the protein-ligand complex.
Assay for Protein-Ligand Kd Titration Experiments.
[0169] To assess the binding and affinity of test compounds for
proteins, a protein-ligand Kd titration experiment is performed,
for example. Protein-ligand K.sub.d titrations experiments are
conducted as follows: 2 .mu.L DMSO aliquots of a serially diluted
stock solution of titrant peptidomimetic macrocycle (5, 2.5, . . .
, 0.098 mM) are prepared then dissolved in 38 .mu.L of PBS. The
resulting solutions are mixed by repeated pipetting and clarified
by centrifugation at 10 000 g for 10 min. To 4.0 .mu.L aliquots of
the resulting supernatants is added 4.0 .mu.L of 10 .mu.M hMDM2 in
PBS. Each 8.0 .mu.L experimental sample thus contains 40 pmol (1.5
.mu.g) of protein at 5.0 .mu.M concentration in PBS, varying
concentrations (125, 62.5, . . . , 0.24 .mu.M) of the titrant
peptide, and 2.5% DMSO. Duplicate samples thus prepared for each
concentration point are incubated at room temperature for 30 min,
then chilled to 4.degree. C. prior to SEC-LC-MS analysis of 2.0
.mu.L injections. The (M+H).sup.1+, (M+2H).sup.2+, (M+3H).sup.3+,
and/or (M+Na).sup.1+ ion is observed by ESI-MS; extracted ion
chromatograms are quantified, then fit to equations to derive the
binding affinity K.sub.d as described in "A General Technique to
Rank Protein-Ligand Binding Affinities and Determine Allosteric vs.
Direct Binding Site Competition in Compound Mixtures." Annis, D.

Assay for Competitive Binding Experiments by Affinity
Selection-Mass Spectrometry
[0170] To determine the ability of test compounds to bind
competitively to proteins, an affinity selection mass spectrometry
assay is performed, for example. A mixture of ligands at 40 .mu.M
per component is prepared by combining 2 .mu.L aliquots of 400
.mu.M stocks of each of the three compounds with 14 .mu.L of DMSO.
Then, 1 .mu.L aliquots of this 40 .mu.M per component mixture are
combined with 1 .mu.L at DMSO aliquots of a serially diluted stock
solution of titrant peptidomimetic macrocycle (10, 5, 2.5, . . . ,
0.078 mM). These 2 .mu.L samples are dissolved in 38 .mu.L of PBS.
The resulting solutions were mixed by repeated pipetting and
clarified by centrifugation at 10 000 g for 10 min. To 4.0 .mu.L
aliquots of the resulting supernatants is added 4.0 .mu.L of 10
.mu.M hMDM2 protein in PBS. Each 8.0 .mu.L experimental sample thus
contains 40 pmol (1.5 .mu.g) of protein at 5.0 .mu.M concentration
in PBS plus 0.5 .mu.M ligand, 2.5% DMSO, and varying concentrations
(125, 62.5, . . . , 0.98 .mu.M) of the titrant peptidomimetic
macrocycle. Duplicate samples thus prepared for each concentration
point are incubated at room temperature for 60 min, then chilled to
4.degree. C. prior to SEC-LC-MS analysis of 2.0 .mu.L injections.

Methods and Principles in Medicinal Chemistry.
Binding Assays in Intact Cells.
[0171] It is possible to measure binding of peptides or
peptidomimetic macrocycles to their natural acceptors in intact
cells by immunoprecipitation experiments. For example, intact cells
are incubated with fluoresceinated (FITC-labeled) compounds for 4
hrs in the absence of serum, followed by serum replacement and
further incubation that ranges from 4-18 hrs. Cells are then
pelleted and incubated in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris [pH 7.6], 150 mM
NaCl, 1% CHAPS and protease inhibitor cocktail) for 10 minutes at
4.degree. C. Extracts are centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 15 minutes
and supernatants collected and incubated with 10 .mu.l goat
anti-FITC antibody for 2 hrs, rotating at 4.degree. C. followed by
further 2 hrs incubation at 4.degree. C. with protein A/G Sepharose
(50 .mu.l of 50% bead slurry). After quick centrifugation, the
pellets are washed in lysis buffer containing increasing salt
concentration (e.g., 150, 300, 500 mM). The beads are then
re-equilibrated at 150 mM NaCl before addition of SDS-containing
sample buffer and boiling. After centrifugation, the supernatants
are optionally electrophoresed using 4%-12% gradient Bis-Tris gels
followed by transfer into Immobilon-P membranes. After blocking,
blots are optionally incubated with an antibody that detects FITC
and also with one or more antibodies that detect proteins that bind
to the peptidomimetic macrocycle.
Cellular Penetrability Assays.
[0172] A peptidomimetic macrocycle is, for example, more cell
penetrable compared to a corresponding uncrosslinked macrocycle.
Peptidomimetic macrocycles with optimized linkers possess, for
example, cell penetrability that is at least two-fold greater than
a corresponding uncrosslinked macrocycle, and often 20% or more of
the applied peptidomimetic macrocycle will be observed to have
penetrated the cell after 4 hours. To measure the cell
penetrability of peptidomimetic macrocycles and corresponding
uncrosslinked macrocycle, intact cells are incubated with
fluoresceinated peptidomimetic macrocycles or corresponding
uncrosslinked macrocycle (10 .mu.M) for 4 hrs in serum free media
at 37.degree. C., washed twice with media and incubated with
trypsin (0.25%) for 10 min at 37.degree. C. The cells are washed
again and resuspended in PBS. Cellular fluorescence is analyzed,
for example, by using either a FACSCalibur flow cytometer or
Cellomics' KineticScan.RTM. HCS Reader.
Cellular Efficacy Assays.
[0173] The efficacy of certain peptidomimetic macrocycles is
determined, for example, in cell-based killing assays using a
variety of tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic cell lines and primary
cells derived from human or mouse cell populations. Cell viability
is monitored, for example, over 24-96 hrs of incubation with
peptidomimetic macrocycles (0.5 to 50 .mu.M) to identify those that
kill at EC50<10 .mu.M. Several standard assays that measure cell
viability are commercially available and are optionally used to
assess the efficacy of the peptidomimetic macrocycles. In addition,
assays that measure Annexin V and caspase activation are optionally
used to assess whether the peptidomimetic macrocycles kill cells by
activating the apoptotic machinery. For example, the Cell Titer-glo
assay is used which determines cell viability as a function of
intracellular ATP concentration.
In Vivo Stability Assay.
[0174] To investigate the in vivo stability of the peptidomimetic
macrocycles, the compounds are, for example, administered to mice
and/or rats by IV, IP, PO or inhalation routes at concentrations
ranging from 0.1 to 50 mg/kg and blood specimens withdrawn at 0',
5', 15', 30', 1 hr, 4 hrs, 8 hrs and 24 hours post-injection.
Levels of intact compound in 25 .mu.L of fresh serum are then
measured by LC-MS/MS as above.
In Vivo Efficacy in Animal Models.
[0175] To determine the anti-oncogenic activity of peptidomimetic
macrocycles of the invention in vivo, the compounds are, for
example, given alone (IP, IV, PO, by inhalation or nasal routes) or
in combination with sub-optimal doses of relevant chemotherapy
(e.g., cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, etoposide). In one example,
5.times.10.sup.6 RS4; 11 cells (established from the bone marrow of
a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia) that stably express
luciferase are injected by tail vein in NOD-SCID mice 3 hrs after
they have been subjected to total body irradiation. If left
untreated, this form of leukemia is fatal in 3 weeks in this model.
The leukemia is readily monitored, for example, by injecting the
mice with D-luciferin (60 mg/kg) and imaging the anesthetized
animals (e.g., Xenogen In Vivo Imaging System, Caliper Life
Sciences, Hopkinton, Mass.). Total body bioluminescence is
quantified by integration of photonic flux (photons/sec) by Living
Image Software (Caliper Life Sciences, Hopkinton, Mass.).
Peptidomimetic macrocycles alone or in combination with sub-optimal
doses of relevant chemotherapeutics agents are, for example,
administered to leukemic mice (10 days after injection/day 1 of
experiment, in bioluminescence range of 14-16) by tail vein or IP
routes at doses ranging from 0.1 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg for 7 to 21
days. Optionally, the mice are imaged throughout the experiment
every other day and survival monitored daily for the duration of
the experiment. Expired mice are optionally subjected to necropsy
at the end of the experiment. Another animal model is implantation
into NOD-SCID mice of DoHH2, a cell line derived from human
follicular lymphoma, that stably expresses luciferase. These in
vivo tests optionally generate preliminary pharmacokinetic,
pharmacodynamic and toxicology data.
Clinical Trials.
[0176] To determine the suitability of the peptidomimetic
macrocycles of the invention for treatment of humans, clinical
trials are performed. For example, patients diagnosed with cancer
and in need of treatment are selected and separated in treatment
and one or more control groups, wherein the treatment group is
administered a peptidomimetic macrocycle of the invention, while
the control groups receive a placebo or a known anti-cancer drug.
The treatment safety and efficacy of the peptidomimetic macrocycles
of the invention can thus be evaluated by performing comparisons of
the patient groups with respect to factors such as survival and
quality-of-life. In this example, the patient group treated with a
peptidomimetic macrocyle show improved long-term survival compared
to a patient control group treated with a placebo.
Pharmaceutical Compositions and Routes of Administration
[0177] The peptidomimetic macrocycles of the invention also include
pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives or prodrugs thereof A
"pharmaceutically acceptable derivative" means any pharmaceutically
acceptable salt, ester, salt of an ester, pro-drug or other
derivative of a compound of this invention which, upon
administration to a recipient, is capable of providing (directly or
indirectly) a compound of this invention. Particularly favored
pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives are those that increase the
bioavailability of the compounds of the invention when administered
to a mammal (e.g., by increasing absorption into the blood of an
orally administered compound) or which increases delivery of the
active compound to a biological compartment (e.g., the brain or
lymphatic system) relative to the parent species. Some
pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives include a chemical group
which increases aqueous solubility or active transport across the
gastrointestinal mucosa.
[0178] In some embodiments, the peptidomimetic macrocycles of the
invention are modified by covalently or non-covalently joining
appropriate functional groups to enhance selective biological
properties. Such modifications include those which increase
biological penetration into a given biological compartment (e.g.,
blood, lymphatic system, central nervous system), increase oral
availability, increase solubility to allow administration by
injection, alter metabolism, and alter rate of excretion.
[0179] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this
invention include those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable
inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of suitable acid
salts include acetate, adipate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate,
butyrate, citrate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, formate, fumarate,
glycolate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydrochloride,
hydrobromide, hydroiodide, lactate, maleate, malonate,
methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate,
palmoate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, salicylate,
succinate, sulfate, tartrate, tosylate and undecanoate. Salts
derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal (e.g., sodium),
alkaline earth metal (e.g., magnesium), ammonium and
N-(alkyl).sub.4.sup.+ salts.
[0180] For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds
of the present invention, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers
include either solid or liquid carriers. Solid form preparations
include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, cachets, suppositories,
and dispersible granules. A solid carrier can be one or more
substances, which also acts as diluents, flavoring agents, binders,
preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or an encapsulating
material. Details on techniques for formulation and administration
are well described in the scientific and patent literature, see,
e.g., the latest edition of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences,
Maack Publishing Co, Easton Pa.
[0181] In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid, which is
in a mixture with the finely divided active component. In tablets,
the active component is mixed with the carrier having the necessary
binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the
shape and size desired.
[0182] Suitable solid excipients are carbohydrate or protein
fillers include, but are not limited to sugars, including lactose,
sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; starch from corn, wheat, rice,
potato, or other plants; cellulose such as methyl cellulose,
hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, or sodium carboxymethylcellulose;
and gums including arabic and tragacanth; as well as proteins such
as gelatin and collagen. If desired, disintegrating or solubilizing
agents are added, such as the cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone,
agar, alginic acid, or a salt thereof, such as sodium alginate.
[0183] Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and
emulsions, for example, water or water/propylene glycol solutions.
For parenteral injection, liquid preparations can be formulated in
solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution.
[0184] The pharmaceutical preparation is preferably in unit dosage
form. In such form the preparation is subdivided into unit doses
containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit
dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing
discrete quantities of preparation, such as packeted tablets,
capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. Also, the unit dosage
form can be a capsule, tablet, cachet, or lozenge itself, or it can
be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form.
[0185] When the compositions of this invention comprise a
combination of a peptidomimetic macrocycle and one or more
additional therapeutic or prophylactic agents, both the compound
and the additional agent should be present at dosage levels of
between about 1 to 100%, and more preferably between about 5 to 95%
of the dosage normally administered in a monotherapy regimen. In
some embodiments, the additional agents are administered
separately, as part of a multiple dose regimen, from the compounds
of this invention. Alternatively, those agents are part of a single
dosage form, mixed together with the compounds of this invention in
a single composition.
Methods of Use
[0186] In one aspect, the present invention provides novel
peptidomimetic macrocycles that are useful in competitive binding
assays to identify agents which bind to the natural ligand(s) of
the proteins or peptides upon which the peptidomimetic macrocycles
are modeled. For example, in the p53/HDMX system, labeled
peptidomimetic macrocycles based on p53 can be used in a HDMX
binding assay along with small molecules that competitively bind to
HDMX. Competitive binding studies allow for rapid in vitro
evaluation and determination of drug candidates specific for the
p53/HDMX system. Such binding studies may be performed with any of
the peptidomimetic macrocycles disclosed herein and their binding
partners.
[0187] The invention further provides for the generation of
antibodies against the peptidomimetic macrocycles. In some
embodiments, these antibodies specifically bind both the
peptidomimetic macrocycle and the precursor peptides, such as p53,
to which the peptidomimetic macrocycles are related. Such
antibodies, for example, disrupt the native protein-protein
interaction, for example, binding between p53 and HDMX.
[0188] In other aspects, the present invention provides for both
prophylactic and therapeutic methods of treating a subject at risk
of (or susceptible to) a disorder or having a disorder associated
with aberrant (e.g., insufficient or excessive) expression or
activity of the molecules including p53, HDM2 or HDMX.
[0189] In another embodiment, a disorder is caused, at least in
part, by an abnormal level of p53 or HDM2 or HDMX, (e.g., over or
under expression), or by the presence of p53 or HDM2 or HDMX
exhibiting abnormal activity. As such, the reduction in the level
and/or activity of p53 or HDM2 or HDMX, or the enhancement of the
level and/or activity of p53 or HDM2 or HDMX, by peptidomimetic
macrocycles derived from p53, is used, for example, to ameliorate
or reduce the adverse symptoms of the disorder.
[0190] In another aspect, the present invention provides methods
for treating or preventing a disease including hyperproliferative
disease and inflammatory disorder by interfering with the
interaction or binding between binding partners, for example,
between p53 and HDM2 or p53 and HDMX. These methods comprise
administering an effective amount of a compound of the invention to
a warm blooded animal, including a human. In some embodiments, the
administration of the compounds of the present invention induces
cell growth arrest or apoptosis.
[0191] As used herein, the term "treatment" is defined as the
application or administration of a therapeutic agent to a patient,

purpose to cure, heal, alleviate, relieve, alter, remedy,
ameliorate, improve or affect the disease, the symptoms of disease
or the predisposition toward disease.
[0192] In some embodiments, the peptidomimetics macrocycles of the

meant to include all types of cancerous growths or oncogenic
processes, metastatic tissues or malignantly transformed cells,
tissues, or organs, irrespective of histopathologic type or stage
of invasiveness. A metastatic tumor can arise from a multitude of

[0200] In other or further embodiments, the peptidomimetics
macrocycles described herein are used to treat, prevent or diagnose
conditions characterized by overactive cell death or cellular death
due to physiologic insult, etc. Some examples of conditions
characterized by premature or unwanted cell death are or
alternatively unwanted or excessive cellular proliferation include,
but are not limited to hypocellular/hypoplastic,
acellular/aplastic, or hypercellular/hyperplastic conditions. Some
examples include hematologic disorders including but not limited to
fanconi anemia, aplastic anemia, thalaessemia, congenital
neutropenia, and myelodysplasia.
[0201] In other or further embodiments, the peptidomimetics
macrocycles of the invention that act to decrease apoptosis are
used to treat disorders associated with an undesirable level of
cell death. Thus, in some embodiments, the anti-apoptotic
peptidomimetics macrocycles of the invention are used to treat
disorders such as those that lead to cell death associated with
viral infection, e.g., infection associated with infection with
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). A wide variety of neurological
diseases are characterized by the gradual loss of specific sets of
neurons. One example is Alzheimer's disease (AD) Alzheimer's
disease is characterized by loss of neurons and synapses in the
cerebral cortex and certain subcortical regions. This loss results
in gross atrophy of the affected regions. Both amyloid plaques and
neurofibrillary tangles are visible in brains of those afflicted by
AD Alzheimer's disease has been identified as a protein misfolding
disease, due to the accumulation of abnormally folded A-beta and
tau proteins in the brain. Plaques are made up of .beta.-amyloid.
.beta.-amyloid is a fragment from a larger protein called amyloid
precursor protein (APP). APP is critical to neuron growth, survival
and post-injury repair. In AD, an unknown process causes APP to be
cleaved into smaller fragments by enzymes through proteolysis. One
of these fragments is fibrils of .beta.-amyloid, which form clumps
that deposit outside neurons in dense formations known as senile
plaques. Plaques continue to grow into insoluble twisted fibers
within the nerve cell, often called tangles. Disruption of the
interaction between .beta.-amyloid and its native receptor is
therefore important in the treatment of AD. The anti-apoptotic
peptidomimetics macrocycles of the invention are used, in some
embodiments, in the treatment of AD and other neurological
disorders associated with cell apoptosis. Such neurological
disorders include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) retinitis pigmentosa, spinal
muscular atrophy, and various forms of cerebellar degeneration. The
cell loss in these diseases does not induce an inflammatory
response, and apoptosis appears to be the mechanism of cell
death.
[0202] In addition, a number of hematologic diseases are associated
with a decreased production of blood cells. These disorders include
anemia associated with chronic disease, aplastic anemia, chronic
neutropenia, and the myelodysplastic syndromes. Disorders of blood
cell production, such as myelodysplastic syndrome and some forms of
aplastic anemia, are associated with increased apoptotic cell death
within the bone marrow. These disorders could result from the
activation of genes that promote apoptosis, acquired deficiencies
in stromal cells or hematopoietic survival factors, or the direct
effects of toxins and mediators of immune responses. Two common
disorders associated with cell death are myocardial infarctions and
stroke. In both disorders, cells within the central area of
ischemia, which is produced in the event of acute loss of blood
flow, appear to die rapidly as a result of necrosis. However,
outside the central ischemic zone, cells die over a more protracted
time period and morphologically appear to die by apoptosis. In
other or further embodiments, the anti-apoptotic peptidomimetics
macrocycles of the invention are used to treat all such disorders
associated with undesirable cell death.
[0203] Some examples of neurologic disorders that are treated with
the peptidomimetics macrocycles described herein include but are
not limited to Alzheimer's Disease, Down's Syndrome, Dutch Type
Hereditary Cerebral Hemorrhage Amyloidosis, Reactive Amyloidosis,
Familial Amyloid Nephropathy with Urticaria and Deafness,
Muckle-Wells Syndrome, Idiopathic Myeloma;
Macroglobulinemia-Associated Myeloma, Familial Amyloid
Polyneuropathy, Familial Amyloid Cardiomyopathy, Isolated Cardiac
Amyloid, Systemic Senile Amyloidosis, Adult Onset Diabetes,
Insulinoma, Isolated Atrial Amyloid, Medullary Carcinoma of the
Thyroid, Familial Amyloidosis, Hereditary Cerebral Hemorrhage With
Amyloidosis, Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy, Scrapie,
Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease, Gerstmann Straussler-Scheinker Syndrome,
Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis, a prion-mediated disease, and
Huntington's Disease.
[0204] In another embodiment, the peptidomimetics macrocycles
described herein are used to treat, prevent or diagnose
inflammatory disorders. Numerous types of inflammatory disorders
exist. Certain inflammatory diseases are associated with the immune
system, for example, autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune diseases arise
from an overactive immune response of the body against substances
and tissues normally present in the body, i.e. self antigens. In
other words, the immune system attacks its own cells. Autoimmune
diseases are a major cause of immune-mediated diseases. Rheumatoid
arthritis is an example of an autoimmune disease, in which the
immune system attacks the joints, where it causes inflammation
(i.e. arthritis) and destruction. It can also damage some organs,
such as the lungs and skin. Rheumatoid arthritis can lead to
substantial loss of functioning and mobility. Rheumatoid arthritis
is diagnosed with blood tests especially the rheumatoid factor
test. Some examples of autoimmune diseases that are treated with
the peptidomimetics macrocycles described herein include, but are
not limited to, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM),
Addison's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, antiphospholipid
antibody syndrome (APS), autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune
hepatitis, autoimmune inner ear disease, Bechet's disease, bullous
pemphigoid, coeliac disease, Chagas disease, Churg-Strauss
syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Crohn's
disease, dermatomyositis, diabetes mellitus type 1, endometriosis,
Goodpasture's syndrome, Graves' disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome
(GBS), Hashimoto's disease, Hidradenitis suppurativa, idiopathic
thrombocytopenic purpura, inflammatory bowl disease (IBD),
interstitial cystitis, lupus erythematosus, morphea, multiple
sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, narcolepsy, neuromyotonia, pemphigus
vulgaris, pernicious anaemia, Polymyositis, polymyalgia rheumatica,
primary biliary cirrhosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis,
schizophrenia, scleroderma, Sjogren's syndrome, temporal arteritis
(also known as "giant cell arteritis"), Takayasu's arteritis,
Vasculitis, Vitiligo, and Wegener's granulomatosis.
[0205] Some examples of other types of inflammatory disorders that
are treated with the peptidomimetics macrocycles described herein
include, but are not limited to, allergy including allergic
rhinitis/sinusitis, skin allergies (urticaria/hives, angioedema,
atopic dermatitis), food allergies, drug allergies, insect
allergies, and rare allergic disorders such as mastocytosis,
asthma, arthritis including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis,
and spondyloarthropathies, primary angitis of the CNS, sarcoidosis,
organ transplant rejection, fibromyalgia, fibrosis, pancreatitis,
and pelvic inflammatory disease.
[0206] Examples of cardiovascular disorders (e.g., inflammatory
disorders) that are treated or prevented with the peptidomimetics
macrocycles of the invention include, but are not limited to,
aortic valve stenosis, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction,
stroke, thrombosis, aneurism, heart failure, ischemic heart
disease, angina pectoris, sudden cardiac death, hypertensive heart
disease; non-coronary vessel disease, such as arteriolosclerosis,
small vessel disease, nephropathy, hypertriglyceridemia,
hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, xanthomatosis, asthma,
hypertension, emphysema and chronic pulmonary disease; or a
cardiovascular condition associated with interventional procedures
("procedural vascular trauma"), such as restenosis following
angioplasty, placement of a shunt, stent, synthetic or natural
excision grafts, indwelling catheter, valve or other implantable
devices. Preferred cardiovascular disorders include
atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, aneurism, and stroke.

now occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the
invention. It should be understood that various alternatives to the
embodiments of the invention described herein may be employed in

Example 2
Peptidomimetic Macrocycles of the Invention
[0216] Peptidomimetic macrocycles were synthesized, purified and
analyzed as previously described and as described below
(Schafmeister et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122:5891-5892 (2000);
Schafmeister & Verdine, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 122:5891 (2005);
Walensky et al., Science 305:1466-1470 (2004); and U.S. Pat. No.
7,192,713). Peptidomimetic macrocycles were designed by replacing
two or more naturally occurring amino acids with the corresponding
synthetic amino acids. Substitutions were made at i and i+4, and i
and i+7 positions. Peptide synthesis was performed either manually
or on an automated peptide synthesizer (Applied Biosystems, model
433A), using solid phase conditions, rink amide AM resin
(Novabiochem), and Fmoc main-chain protecting group chemistry. For
the coupling of natural Fmoc-protected amino acids (Novabiochem),
10 equivalents of amino acid and a 1:1:2 molar ratio of coupling
reagents HBTU/HOBt (Novabiochem)/DIEA were employed. Non-natural
amino acids (4 equiv) were coupled with a 1:1:2 molar ratio of HATU
(Applied Biosystems)/HOBt/DIEA. The N-termini of the synthetic
peptides were acetylated, while the C-termini were amidated.
[0217] Purification of cross-linked compounds was achieved by high
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Varian ProStar) on a
reverse phase C18 column (Varian) to yield the pure compounds.
Chemical composition of the pure products was confirmed by LC/MS
mass spectrometry (Micromass LCT interfaced with Agilent 1100 HPLC
system) and amino acid analysis (Applied Biosystems, model
420A).
[0218] Table 4 shows a list of peptidomimetic macrocycles of the
invention prepared.

p53 GRIP Assay
[0225] Thermo Scientific* BioImage p53-Hdm2 Redistribution Assay
monitors the protein interaction with Hdm2 and cellular
translocation of GFP-tagged p53 in response to drug compounds or
other stimuli. Recombinant CHO-hIR cells stably express human
p53(1-312) fused to the C-terminus of enhanced green fluorescent
protein (EGFP) and PDE4A4-Hdm2(1-124), a fusion protein between
PDE4A4 and Hdm2(1-124). They provide a ready-to-use assay system
for measuring the effects of experimental conditions on the
interaction of p53 and Hdm2. Imaging and analysis is performed with

protocol:
[0234] Cell Plating: Trypsinize, count and seed cells at the
pre-determined densities in 96-well plates a day prior to assay.
Following cell densities are used for each cell line in use:

[0236] RKO: 5000 cells/well
[0237] RKO-E6: 5000 cells/well
[0238] HCT-116: 5000 cells/well
[0239] SW-480: 2000 cells/well
[0240] MCF-7: 5000 cells/well
[0241] On the day of study, replace media with fresh media with 11%
FBS (assay media) at room temperature. Add 180 .mu.L of the assay
media per well. Control wells with no cells, receive 200 .mu.l
media.
[0242] Peptide dilution: all dilutions are made at room temperature
and added to cells at room temperature. [0243] Prepare 10 mM stocks
of the peptides in DMSO. Serially dilute the stock using 1:3
dilution scheme to get 10, 3.3, 1.1, 0.33, 0.11, 0.03, 0.01 mM
solutions using DMSO as diluents. Dilute the serially DMSO-diluted
peptides 33.3 times using sterile water. This gives range of
10.times. working stocks. Also prepare DMSO/sterile water (3% DMSO)
mix for control wells. [0244] Thus the working stocks concentration
range .mu.M will be 300, 100, 30, 10, 3, 1, 0.3 and 0 .mu.M. Mix
well at each dilution step using multichannel. [0245] Row H has

Nutlin was diluted using the same dilution scheme as peptides.
[0247] Addition of working stocks to cells: [0248] Add 20 .mu.l of
10.times. desired concentration to appropriate well to achieve the
final concentrations in total 200 .mu.l volume in well. (20 .mu.l
of 300 .mu.M peptide+180 .mu.l of cells in media=30 .mu.M final
concentration in 200 .mu.l volume in wells). Mix gently a few times
using pipette. Thus final concentration range used will be 30, 10,
3, 1, 0.3, 0.1, 0.03 & 0 .mu.M (for potent peptides further
dilutions are included). [0249] Controls include wells that get no

Incubate for 72 hours at 37.degree. C. in humidified 5% CO.sub.2
atmosphere. [0251] The viability of cells is determined using MTT
reagent from Promega. Viability of SJSA-1, RKO, RKO-E6, HCT-116
cells is determined on day 3, MCF-7 cells on day 5 and SW-480 cells
on day 6. At the end of designated incubation time, allow the
plates to come to room temperature. Remove 80 .mu.l of assay media
from each well. Add 15 .mu.l of thawed MTT reagent to each well.
[0252] Allow plate to incubate for 2 h at 37.degree. C. in
humidified 5% CO.sub.2 atmosphere and add 100 .mu.l solubilization
reagent as per manufacturer's protocol. Incubate with agitation for
1 h at room temperature and read on Synergy Biotek multiplate
reader for absorbance at 570 nM. [0253] Analyze the cell viability
