Synthesis

General. 2-chlorotrityl-chloride resin was purchased from Novabiochem (1.7 meq/g). All Fmoc-protected amino acids and all reagents were purchased from PTI, Novabiochem, Chem-Impex or Sigma-Aldrich. Oasis-HLB cartridges were purchased from Waters. UPLC analysis was conducted on a Waters Acquity UPLC CSH C18 column (50mm x 2.1mm i.d. 1.7μm packing diameter) at 30 degrees centigrade equipped with both a photodiode array detector and an evaporative light scattering detector to determine the identity, purity and ratios of peptide products. Peptides were purified using a preparative HPLC system (Waters) equipped with an XSELECT CSH prep OBD column, 5 µ 150x30 mm.

Loading of Fmoc-Tyr-OAllyl on Trichloroacetimidate Resin:

Synthesized according to the procedure of Albericio et. al.1a In a centrifuge tube, trichloroacetimidate resin (521 mg, 1.40 mmol) was swollen using dry DCM (approx 10 ml) under a nitrogen atmosphere. A solution of Fmoc-Tyr-Oallyl ester1b (1.28 g, 2.80 mmol) in a minimum amount of dry THF (approx 15 mL) was added. The resin was shaken gently for 5 minutes. Boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (35.0 μL, 0.285 mmol) was added and the resin was shaken for 4 hours at room temperature. The resin was washed with THF (5 x 1 minute), DMF (5 x 1 minute) and DCM (5 x 1 minute) and treated with a 1:1 DMF:water solution (3 x 15 minutes) with DMF washes in between, in order to hydrolyse the remaining trichloroacetimidate. The resin was then washed with DMF (5 x 1 minute), dry THF (5 x 1 minute) and EtOAc (5 x 1 minute). The resin was again swollen using DCM (approx 10 mL) then acetylated by treatment with acetic anhydride (5.71 g, 0.285 mmol) and DMAP (0.684 g, 5.60 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) for 45 minutes. The resin was transferred to a filter tube and washed with DMF (5 x 1 minute) then DCM (5 x 1 minutes). The resin was dried for 40 minutes under vacuum using a glass chamber vacuum manifold.

Determination of resin loading. According to the procedure of Lokey et.al.2 A 15 mg sample of the resin was weighed into a 3 mL polypropylene tube. The resin was swollen three times using DCM, followed by washing with DMF (5 x 30 seconds). Next, the resin was treated with 0.5 mL of a 20% piperidine in DMF solution for 5 minutes, draining into a 100 mL volumetric flask. The resin was treated again with 0.5 mL of the 20% piperidine in DMF solution for 10 minutes, collecting the washings into the same volumetric flask. The resin was washed with 0.5 mL of DMF (5 x 30 seconds) and the washings collected in the same volumetric flask. DMF was added until the 100 mL line on the volumetric flask, and the resulting sample was used for a UV/vis absorbance reading at λ = 301 nm. The piperidine-dibenzofulvene adduct that was formed upon fmoc deprotection has a molar extinction coefficient of ε = 7800 L•mol-1•cm-1 and using Beer’s Law the loading value was determined.

General SPPS procedures for room temperature synthesis. Linear peptides were synthesized on the Protein Technologies Symphony Multiplex peptide synthesizer. Preloaded resin (0.1 mmol) was weighed directly into a Symphony reactor vessel. The peptide synthesis was then synthesized on the machine using the following conditions (single coupling): Fmoc-AA-OH (2.5 mL, 5 equiv., 0.2M in NMP), HCTU (1.25 mL, 5 equiv., 0.4M in DMF), DIPEA (1.25 mL, 0.8 M in NMP) at room temperature. DMF washing steps occurred after each step in the coupling. All couplings were repeated twice (double couplings). After each coupling, Fmoc deprotection proceeded with a 20% piperidine/DMF solution followed by successive washes with DMF.

General SPPS procedures for microwave synthesis. Linear peptides were synthesized on the CEM Liberty 1 microwave peptide synthesizer. Preloaded resin (0.1 mmol based on

loading) was weighed directly into a 30 mL microwave reaction vessel or transferred using DCM. The peptide synthesis was then synthesized on the machine using the following conditions (single coupling): Fmoc-AA-OH (2.5 mL, 5 equiv., 0.2M in NMP), coupling reagent (1.0 mL, 5 equiv., 0.5M in DMF), DIPEA (1 mL, 1.0M in NMP), 20 W (power) and 75 oC for 10 minutes. DMF washing steps occurred after each step in the coupling. Single or double (two successive) couplings were completed as specified for each amino acid. After each coupling, Fmoc cleavage proceeded with 20% piperidine/DMF solution followed by successive washes with DMF.

Deallylation and on-resin cyclisation. According to the procedure of Lokey et. al.2 Linear peptide on resin was transferred to 20 mL centrifuge tube. Enough 10% piperidine/DMF (approx 5 mL) was added to swell the resin. The centrifuge tube was then purged with nitrogen and tetrakis (triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (1 equiv.) was added. The tube was purged again with nitrogen, sealed and shaken for 3 hours. The resin was then transferred to a filter tube and washed with the following solutions: THF (5 x 30 seconds), DMF (5 x 30 seconds), 5% DIPEA (volume/volume)/0.05% sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (mass/volume) in DMF (3 x 15 minutes) with DMF (5 x 30 seconds) between each treatment. The resin was then rinsed with DCM and dried for 40 minutes under vacuum before being transferred to a 20 mL centrifuge tube. DMF was added to swell the resin and HOAt (5 equiv.), PyBOP (5 equiv.), and DIPEA (7.5 equiv.) added before being shaken at room temperature overnight. The resin was then transferred to a filter tube and rinsed with DMF (5 x 1 minutes) and DCM (3 x 1 minute) before being dried for 30 minutes under vacuum using a glass chamber vacuum manifold.

Resin cleavage. The dry resin was added to a centrifuge tube. In a second centrifuge tube, 9.5 mL TFA (95%), 0.25 mL TIPS (2.5%) and 0.25 mL of water (2.5%) was added. The solution in the second centrifuge tube was added to the first containing the resin, followed by agitation for 1 hour at room temperature. The solution was then filtered and the eluent collected. The eluent was evaporated under a stream of nitrogen to remove the majority of the TFA. The peptide was purified by MDAP-HPLC and the purified fractions were passed through an Oasis-HLB cartridge to remove TFA and then freeze-dried in 1,4-dioxane to yield a white lyophilisate.

Final compounds are reported with overall yields based on the preloaded resin (0.1 mmol). For example, an overall yield of 5% for a hexa- or hepta-mer is an average of 70-75% per step in the 9-10 step route detailed above. In the case of further transformations (eg. N-methylation on resin) the overall yield is inclusive of an additional step.

Optimisation of Solvent for On-resin N -methylation

General Method for On-resin N -methylation Cyclized peptide-bound resin 11 (236 mg, 0.071 mmol) was added to a 15 mL centrifuge tube and placed under nitrogen. THF (4 mL) was added to swell the resin followed by lithium tert-butoxide (1.42 mL, 3.12 mmol). The centrifuge tube was flushed with nitrogen before being capped and agitated for 40 minutes at room temperature. The resin was transferred to a filter tube using THF and drained. Solvent (as specified, 4.00 mL) was added to the filter tube along with iodomethane (1.00 mL, 16.1 mmol) without draining. The filter tube was securely stoppered and capped on both ends and the solution was agitated again for 1 hour. The resin was rinsed with MeOH (3 x 1 min), and DCM (3 x 1 min) and then dried under vacuum for 5 minutes. The dried resin was then transferred to a 15 mL centrifuge tube and cleaved under the general resin cleavage procedure (95% TFA/2.5% TIPS/2.5% H2O). The crude peptide was purified by MDAP-HPLC and passed through Oasis-HLB cartridge to remove TFA then freeze-dried in 1,4-dioxane to yield a white lyophilisate.

3. Assays

Chemi-Luminescent Nitrogen Detection (CLND) solubility assay

GSK in-house kinetic solubility assay: 5 µL of 10 mM DMSO stock solution of the compound was diluted to 100 µL with pH 7.4 phosphate buffered saline, equilibrated for 1 hour at room temperature and filtered through Millipore MultiscreenHTS-PCF filter plates (MSSL BPC). The

28

Page 29: Abbreviations. · Web viewSupplementary Information Predicting and Investigating the Physicochemical Properties of Macrocyclic Peptides Praew Thansandote, Robert M. Harris, Hannah

filtrate was quantified by a suitably calibrated flow injection Chemi-Luminescent Nitrogen Detection.3 The standard error of the CLND solubility determination was ±30 µM, and the upper limit of the solubility was 500 µM when working from a 10 mM DMSO stock solution.

Artificial Membrane Permeability (AMP) assay

The donor cell contained 2.5 µL of 10 mM sample solution in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer. To enhance solubility, 0.5% hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrin (encapsin) was added to the buffer. The artificial membrane was prepared from 1.8% phosphatidylcholine and 1% cholesterol in decane solution. The sample concentration in both the donor and acceptor compartments were determined by LC-MS after 3 h incubation at room temperature.4 The permeability (logPapp) measuring how fast molecules pass through the black lipid membrane was expressed in nm/s. The average standard error of the assay was around ±30 nm/s which could be higher at the low permeability range.

This AMP assay is the GSK version of the PAMPA published by Kansy et al.5 using phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol for the preparation of the membrane on the filter. The membrane is much thinner (~10 µm instead of 100 µm), thus the experiment takes only 3 hours. Cyclodextrin is used to enhance the solubility of the compounds and HPLC-MS or CLND technology (see description above) is used for the concentration determination of the compounds in the donor and acceptor cells. Both the donor and acceptor cells contain the same pH phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) modeling cellular permeability rather than pH 6.5 that is used for modeling intestinal permeability.

ChromlogD assay

The Chromatographic Hydrophobicity Index (CHI)6 values were measured using a reversed phase HPLC column (Luna C18 (2), Phenomenex, UK) with a fast acetonitrile gradient at a starting mobile phase of pH = 7.4. CHI values were derived directly from the gradient retention times by using a calibration line obtained for standard compounds. The CHI value approximates to the volume % organic concentration when the compound elutes. CHI was linearly transformed into ChromlogD by a least-square fitting of experimental CHI values to calculated ClogP values for over 20,000 research compounds using the following formula: ChromlogD = 0.0857CHI-2.00. The average error of the assay was ±3 CHI units which was equivalent to ±0.25 ChromlogD.

4. Computational modeling

All the cyclic peptides were protonated at pH7.4 using MOE 2012. The pKa of all the compounds were determined using ChemAxons’s Marvin pKa calculator (http:/www.chemaxon.com). The atomic charges of each compound in the dataset were calculated using the MMFF94x force field in MOE. This was followed by minimizing each compound in the MOE database using the MMFF94x force-field. AM1 charges were derived for the minimized conformations of the molecule. This step was followed by generating multiple conformations of each molecule using LowModeMD7 at 300K using Berendsen thermostat. The conformational search was done in vacuum and all the conformations within 20 kcal/mol of the lowest energy conformer were retained. Using this conformational analysis approximately 10,000 conformations were generated for each peptide. The cyclic peptide conformation with the lowest energy was retained for solvation energy calculations. The polar (or the electrostatic) part of the solvation energy (polar solvation energy) was

calculated by numerically solving the Poisson Boltzmann (PB) equation. SVMChromlogD for each compound was predicted by using a model obtained using a Support Vector Regression (SVM) method (GSK’s internal model for predicting ChromlogD).

5. NMR experiments

NMR experiments were carried out on a Bruker AVII+ 600 spectrometer equipped with a 5mm TCI cryoprobe running TOPSPIN 3.2 Software, using standard Bruker pulse sequences.

For the deuterium exchange experiments, a stock solution of 0.77 µL of TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) in 600 µL of D2O was prepared. Aliquots of this stock solution (50 µL) were then added to the NMR samples (1 mg of peptide in 500 µL of CDCl3). The resulting mixture was then immediately shaken for 1 minute and sonicated for 20 seconds. NMR spectra were then recorded at timepoints up to 19 hours with the solutions left at ambient laboratory temperatures (~296K) between the NMR measurements (at 303K).

The CDCl3 NH exchange rates after 19 hours of exchange study were classified on this basis: Fast < 20% intensity remaining. Medium = 20-70% intensity remaining.Slow >70% intensity remaining.

Water exchange rate studies were carried out in a 90% H2O/10% D2O solution at pH 7.6 (50 mM phosphate buffer) and were based on the exchange broadening observed on the NH resonances. The NH assignments were initially carried out at pH 3.8 (20 mM acetate buffer) using ROESY and DIPSI spectra.

The water NH exchange rates were classified on their linewidths in 1H WATERGATE spectra at 303K (1H presaturation with excitation sculpting spectra were used to confirm that the broadenings observed were due to solvent exchange): Fast NH's severely broadened by exchange (linewidths >10Hz).Medium NH's broadened by exchange (linewidths 5-10Hz).Slow NH's relatively unaffected by exchange (linewidths <5Hz).
