The Influence of Disulfide, Thioacetal and Lanthionine-Bridges on the Conformation of a Macrocyclic Peptide
Chemistry (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)(2024)
摘要
Cyclisation of peptides by forming thioether (lanthionine), disulfide (cystine) or methylene thioacetal bridges between side chains is established as an important tool to stabilise a given structure, enhance metabolic stability and optimise both potency and selectivity. However, a systematic comparative study of the effects of differing bridging modalities on peptide conformation has not previously been carried out. In this paper, we have used the NMR deconvolution algorithm, NAMFIS, to determine the conformational ensembles, in aqueous solution, of three cyclic analogues of angiotensin(1-7), incorporating either disulfide, or non-reducible thioether or methylene thioacetal bridges. We demonstrate that the major solution conformations are conserved between the different bridged peptides, but the distribution of conformations differs appreciably. This suggests that subtle differences in ring size and bridging structure can be exploited to fine-tune the conformational properties of cyclic peptides, which may modulate their bioactivities. Does the bridge matter? We have compared the solution conformations of lanthionine, disulfide and thioacetal-bridged cyclic analogues of angiotensin(1-7). Despite the different bridging structures, the major conformations are found to be conserved for the macrocyclic core. image
