Drug-Like Properties In Macrocycles Above Mw 1000: Backbone Rigidity Versus Side-Chain Lipophilicity
ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION(2020)
摘要
Large macrocyclic peptides can achieve surprisingly high membrane permeability, although the properties that govern permeability in this chemical space are only beginning to come into focus. We generated two libraries of cyclic decapeptides with stable cross-beta conformations, and found that peptoid substitutions within the beta-turns of the macrocycle preserved the rigidity of the parent scaffold, whereas peptoid substitutions in the opposing beta-strands led to "chameleonic" species that were rigid in nonpolar media but highly flexible in water. Both rigid and chameleonic compounds showed high permeability over a wide lipophilicity range, with peak permeabilities differing significantly depending on scaffold rigidity. Our findings indicate that modulating lipophilicity can be used to engineer favorable ADME properties into both rigid and flexible macrocyclic peptides, and that scaffold rigidity can be used to tune optimal lipophilicity.
