NOVEL TNF PEPTIDES
The present invention relates to novel peptide~ derived
from tumor necro~is factor tTNF), the preparation thereof
and the use thereof as dru~s.
Carswell et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 72 (1975~
3666) reported that the serum of endotoxin-treated
animals which had previously been infected with the
Calmette-Guerin ~train of Mycobacteria (BCG) brought
about hemorrhagic necrosi~ in variou~ mouse tumors. ~his
activity was ascribed to tumor necrosis factor. TNF also
has a cytostatic or cytotoxic effect on a large number of
transformed cell line~ in vitro, whereas normal human and
animal cell lines are unaffected (Lymphokine Report~ Vol.
2, pp 235-275, Academic Press, New York, 1981). Recently,
the biochemical characterization and the g~ne for human
TNF have been described (Nature 312 (1984) 724, J. Biol.
Chem. 260 (1985) 2345, Nucl. Acids Re~. 13 (1935) 6361).
It i~ possible to deduce from thi~ data the following
protein structure for mature human TNFs

The TNF gen~ of cattle, rabbits and mice have also been
described (Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 51
(1986) 597).
BeYide~ its cytotoxic properties, ~NF i~ one of the main

sub~tances involved in inflammatory reaction~ (Pharmac.
Re~. 5 ~1988~ 1293. Animal models have shown that TNF is
involved in septic shock (Science 229 ~1985) 869) and
graft-vers~-ho~t disea~e (J. ~xp. Med. 166 (1987) 1280).
We have now found that peptides with a considerably lower
molecular weight ha~e beneficial properties.
The present invention relàteq to peptide~ of the

A is Val, Leu, Ile or -NH-(CH2)m-CO- (with m being an
integzr from 1 to 12),

or -V-NH-CHQ-CO-U-Z,
where, in X and Y,
G is hydrogen or an amino-protective group,

(with c and d being from 1 to 4, e and f being from
1 to 6 and g being from 1 to 12),
a~ well a~ the ~alt~ thereof with physiologically
tolerated acids.
~he peptide of the formuls I are constructed of ~-amino
acid~, but they can contain 1 or 2 D-a~ino acids. The
side-chains of the trifunctional amino acids can carry
protective group3 or be unprotected.
Particularly preferred phy~iologically tolerated acid~
ares hydrochloric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid,
lactic acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid,
acetic acid, formic acid, male~c acid, fumaric acid,
malic acid, succinic acid, malonic acid, ~ulfuric acid,
L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic àcid, pyruvic acid, mucic
acid, benzoic acid, glucuronic ac~d, oxalic acid, ascor-
bic acid and acetylglycine.
The novel peptide~ can be open-chain (G 3 H, 2mino-
protective group; Z = OH, NH2, car~oxyl-protective sroup
M and Q not connected together) and, in particular, ha~e
a disulfide bridgQ (G z H, amino-protective group;
z D 0~ NH2~ carboxyl-protective group; ~ + Q = -(CH2)C-
S-S-(CH2)d-) or a side chain bridge (G = H, amino-protec-
tive group, Z - OH, NH2, car~oxyl-protectiYe group, ~ ~ Q
= -(CH2),-NH-CO-(CH2)s~ or -(CH2).-NH-CO-(CH2)~-N~-CO-
( CH2 ) ~
The novel compound~ can be prepared by conventional
methods of peptide chemi~try.
~hu~, the pept$des can be con~tructed sequentially from

Z005056
_ 4 _ o z. 0050/40390
amino acids or by linking together suitable smaller
peptide fragments. In the sequential construction, the
peptide chain is extended stepwi~e, by one amino acid
each time, starting at the C terminus. In the case of
coupling of fragments it is possible to link together
fragments of different length~, these in turn being
obtainable by sequential construction from amino acids or
coupling of other fragments. The cyclic peptides are
obtained, after ~ynthesi~ of the open-chain peptide~, by
a cycliza~ion reaction carried out in high dilution.
In the ca~e both of sequential construction and of
fragment coupling it i~ nece~sary for the building block~
to be linked by formation of an amide linkage.
Enzymatic and chemical method3 are suitable for thi~.
Chemical method~ for forming amide linkages are dealt
with in detail by M~ller, Methoden der Organi~chen Chemie
(Method~ of Organic Chemistry) Vol. XV/2, pp 1-364,
Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1974; Stewart, Young, Solid
Phase Peptide Synthe~i~, pp 31-34, 71-82, Pierce Chemical
Company, ~ockford, 1984; Bodan~zky, ~lausner, Ondetti,
Peptide Synthesis, pp 85-128, John Wiley & Sons, New
York, 1976 and other ~tandard works of peptide chemistry.
Particularly preferred are the azide method, the ~ymmetr-
ical and mixed anhydride method, active e8t8r8 generated
in situ or preformed and the formation of amide linkageA
u8ing coupling reagent~ (activator~), in particular
dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), diisopropylcarbodiimide
(DIC), 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline
(EEDQ), l-~thyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide
hydrochloride (EDCI), n-propanephosphonic anhydride
(PPA), N,N-bi~(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)amidopho~phoryl
chloride (BOP-Cl), diphenylpho~phosyl azide (DPPA),
Castro's reagent (BOP), O-benzotriazolyl-~,N,N~,N~-tetra-
methyluron~um 8~1t8 (HBTU), 2,5-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro-3-
3~ oxo-4-hydroxythiophone dioxide (Steglich'3 reagent;

HOTDO) and l,l~-carbonyldiLmidazole (CDI). The coupling
reagents can be employed alone or in combination with
additives such as N,N'-dLmethyl-4-aminopyridine (DMAP),
N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), N-hydroxybenzotriazine
(HOOBt), N-hydroxysuccinLmide (HOSu) or 2-hydroxy-
pyridine.
Where~s it i~ normally po~sible to di~pense with protec-
tive group~ in enzymatic peptide ~ynthesis, for chemical
synthe~i~ it is neceqsary for there to be reversible
protection of the reactive functional groups which are
not involvèd in the formation of the amide linkage on the
two reactant~. Three conventional protective group
technique~ are preferred for chemical peptide synthe~es:
the benzyloxycarbonyl (Z), the t-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc)
and the 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (~moc~ techniques.
In each ca~e the protective group on the -amino group of
the chain-extending building block is identified. The
~ide-chain protective groups on the trifunctional amino
acids are cho~en 80 that they are not necessarily elimin-
ated together with the ~-amino protective group. A
detailed review of amino acid protective group~ i~ gi~en
by ~ller, Nethoden der Organischen Che~ie Vol XV/l, pp
20-906, Thiem~ Verlag, Stuttgart, 1974.
The building blocks used to construct the peptide chain
can be reacted in solution, in suspension or by a method
simllar to that de~cribed by Merrifield in J.Amer. Chem.
Soc. 8~ (1963) 2149. Particularly preferred methods are
those in which peptide~ are constructed ~equentially or
by fragment coupling by use of the Z, Boc or Fmoc protec-
tive group technique, in which case the reaction takesplace in ~olution, a~ well as tho~e in which, similar to
the Nerrifield technique, one reactant i9 bound to an
in~oluble polymeric Rupport ~al~o called re~in herein-
after). ~hi~ typically entails thQ peptide being con-
~tructed ~equentially on the polymeric ~upport, by use of

0~5 ~
- 6 - O.Z. 0050/40390
the Boc or Fmoc protective group technique, with the
growing peptide chain being covalently bonded at the
C terminus to the insoluble resin particle~ (cf. Figures
1 and 2). This procedure allow~ reagent~ and byproducts
to be removed by filtration, and thus recrystallizatio~
of intermediates is superfluou~.
The protected amino acids can bs bonded to ~ny ~uitable
polymers which merely need to be in~oluble in the ol-
vent~ used and to have a table physical form which
allows easy filtration. The polymer mu~t contain a
functional group to which the fir~t protected amino acid
can be firmly linked by a covalent bond. A wide variety
of polymers i8 suitable for thi~ purpose, for example
cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polymethacrylate, sulfon-
ated polystyrene, chloromethylated copolymer of ~tyreneand divinylbenzen~ lMerrifield resin), 4-methylbenz-
hydrylamine-resin (MBHA-resin), phenylac~tamidomathyl-
re~in (Pam-resin), p-benzyloxybenzyl alcohol-resin,
benzhydrylamine-re~in (BHA-resin), 4-hydroxymethyl-
benzoyloxymethyl-re~in, the resin u3ed by Breipohl et al.
(Te~rah~dron Lett. 28 (1987) 565; from ~ACHEM), HYCR~M
re~in (from ORPEG~N) or SASRIN resin (from BACHEM~.
Solv6nts suitable for peptide synth2~is in solution are
all those which are inert under the resction condition~,
in particular water, N,N-di~ethylformamide (DMF),
dimethyl sulfoxida (DMS0), acetonitrile, dichlorome~hane
(DCM), 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran (THF), N-methyl-2-
pyrrolidone (N~P) and mixturea of the said solvents.
Peptide synthesis on polymeric suppor~ can be carried
out in all inert organic solvents which dis~olve ~he
amino acid derivatives u~ed; however, solvents which have
re3in-~welling propsrtie~ are preferred, ~uch a~ DMF,
DCM, NMP, acetonitrLlo and DMS0, as well a~ mixtures of
the~o solvent~.

;~005056
- 7 - O.Z. 00~0/40390
After the peptide has been synthesized it is cleaved off
the polymeric support. The cleavage condition~ for the
various type~ of resins are di~closed in the literature.
The cleavage reactions most commonly use acid and
pa71adium catalysis, in particular cleavage in anhydrous
liquid hydrogen fluoride, in anhydrous trifluoromethane-
sulfonic acid, in dilute or concentrated trifluoroacetic
acid or palladium-catalyzed cleavage in THF or T~F-DCM
mixtures in the presence of a weak ba~e such as morpho-
line. The protective groups may, depending on the choicethereof, be retained or likewi~e cleaved off under the
cleavage conditions. Partial deprotection of the peptide
may also be worthwhile if the intention i8 to carry out
certain derivatization reaction~ or a cyclization.
Some of the novel peptide~ have good cytotoxic proper-
tie~. Some others of the peptide~ ha~e high affinity for
the cellular TNF receptor without, however, having
cytotoxic activity. ~hey are therefore TNF antagonist~.
They compete with natural TNF for binding to the cellular
TNF rereptor and thus ~uppres~ the TNF effect. The novel
peptide~ are valuable drugs which can be employed for
treating neopla tic di~ease~ and autoi~mune diseases a~
well a~ for controlling and preventing infection~
inflammations and transplant re~ection reactions. Simple
experiment~ can be used to elucidate the mode of action
of ths indi~idual peptide~. Th~ cytotoxicity of the
peptid~ is determined by incubating a TNF-~ensitive cell
line in the presence of the peptide. In a ~econd experi-
mental approach, the cell line i8 incubated with the
relevant peptid~ in the presence of a lethal amount of
~NF. It is possible in this way to detect the
$NF-antagon~tic effect. In addition, the affinity of the
peptid~ for the cellular TNF receptor i~ deter~ined in an
in vitro binding experiment.
The follo~ing te~t ~y~tems ware used to ch~r~cterize the

200505~
- 8 - O.Z. 0050/40390
agonistic and antagonistic effects of the novel peptide~:
I. Cytotoxicity test on TNF-sensitive indicator cells,
II. Cytotoxicity antagonism te~t on TNF-~ensitive
indicator cell~,
III. Competitive receptor-binding te~t on indicator cell~
expressing TNF receptor.
I. Cytotoxicity te~t
The agoni~tic effect~ of the novel peptides are
a~sessed on the ba3i~ of their cytotoxic effect on
TNF-~ensitive cells (e.g. L929, MCF-7, A204, U937).
The te3t with L929 and NCF-7 wa~ carried out a~
followss
1. 100 ~1 of culture medium containing 3 to 5 x 103
fra~hly trypsiniz~d, exponentially growing, L929
cell~ (mou~e) or MCF-7 cells (human) were
pipetted into the wells of a 96-well flat-bottom
culture plate. The plate was incubated at 37C
overnight. ThQ air in the incubator was saturated
with water vapor and contained 5% CO2 by volume.
The L929 culture medium contained 500 ml of lx
~arle's MEM (Boehringer ~annheim), 50 ml of heat-
nactivated (5SC, 30 min) fetal calf 8erUm
(FCS), 50 ml of L-gluta~ins (200 mM), 5 ml of
lOOx non-e~sential amino acid~, 3 ml of LN HEPES
buffer pH 7.2,and 50 ml of gentamicin (50 mg/ml).
The MCF-7 culture medium contained 500 ml of lx
Dulbecco's MBM (~oehringer Mannheim), 100 ml of
heat-inactivated t56-C, 30 min) FCS, 5 ~1 of
~-glutamine and 5 ml of lOOx non-e3sential amino
acids.
2. Th~ next day 100 ~1 of the peptide ~olution to be

;~05056
_ g _ o.z. 0050/40390
tested were added to the cell cultures and
sub~ected to serial 2-fold dilution. In addition,
some cell control~ ti.e. cell culture3 not
treated with peptide dilution) and some rhu-~NF
controls (i.e. cell cultures treated with recom-
binant human ~NF~ were also made up. The culture
plate wa~ incubated at 37~C in an atmosphere of
air saturated with water vapor and containing 5%
C02 by volume for 48 h.
3. The percentage of ~urviving cell~ in the cultures
treated with peptLde dilution was determined by
staining with cry~tal viole~. For this purpose,
the liquid wa~ removed from the well~ of the test
plate by tapping it. 50 ~1 of crystal violet
solution were pipetted into each well.
The composition of the crystal violet ~olution
wa~ as follows:
3.75 g of cry~tal violet
1.75 g of NaCl
161.5 ml of ethanol
43.2 ml of 37% formaldehyde
water ad 500 ml
The crystal violet solution wa~ left in the wells
for 20 min and then likewi~e removed by tapping.
The plates were then washed 5 times by immersion
in wat~r in order to remove dy~ not bound to the
cells. Tho dye bound to tha cells was extracted
by adding 100 ~1 of reagent solution (SOS etha-
nol, 0.1~ glacial acetic acid, 49.9~ water) to
each well.
4. The plata~ were ~haken for 5 min to obtain a
~olution of uniform color in each well. The

5 ~ S 6
- 10 - O.Z. 0050/40390
~urviving cells ware determined by mea~uring the
extinction at 540 nm of the colored solution in
the individual wells.
5. 5ubsequently, by relating to the cell control,
the 50% cytotoxicity value was definet, and the
reciprocal of the sample dilution which resulted
in 50~ cytotoxicity was calculated a~ the cyto-
toxic activity of the te~t sa~ple.
II. Cytotoxicity antagonism test
The antagonistic effect of the peptide~ wa3 a~ses~ed
on the basis of their property of antagonizing the
cytotoxic effect of rhu-TNF on TNF ~en~itive cell~
(e.g. L929, ~C~-7, A204, U937). The cytotoxicity
antagonism te~t with L9~9 and MCF-7 cells wa3
carried out as follow~s
1. 100 ~1 of culture medium containing 3 to 5 x 103
fre~hly tryp~inized, exponsn~ially growing, Lg29
cells (mouse! or MCF-7 cell~ (human) were
pipetted into the wells of a 96-well flat-bottom
culture plate. The plate wa~ incubated at 37C
overnight. The air in the incubator wa~ ~aturated
with water vapor and contained 5% CO2 by volume.
The L929 culture medium contained 500 ml of lx
Earle's MEM (Boehringer Ma~nheim), 50 ml of heat-
inactivated (56-C, 30 min) FCS, 5 ml of ~-gluta-
min~ (200 mM), S ml of lOOx non-essential amino
acid~, 3 ml of lM ~EP8S ~uffer pN 7.2, and 500 ~1
of ~entami~in (50 m~/ml).
ThQ N~F-7 culture mediu~ contained 500 ml of lx
DulbQcco's MEM (Boehringer Nannheim), 100 ml of
heat-i~activated (56-C, 30 min) FCS, 5 ml of
L-glutamine (200 mM) and 5 ml of lOOx non-~sen-
tial amino acid~.

~ O.Z. 0050/40390
2. The next day 10~ ~1 of the peptide ~olution to be
te~ted were added to the cell culture~ and
sub~ected to ~erial 2-fold dilution. Then, 100 ~1
of a rhu-TNF dilution in culture medium, which
dilution had an 80-100% cytotoxic effect in the
. final concentration in the cell culture, were
added to these cell cultures. In additlon, ~ome
cell controls (i.e. cell cultures not treated
with peptide solution or with rhu-TNF solution)
and ~ome rhu-TNF controls (= cell cultures
treated only with rhu-TNF solution) were also
made up. The culture plate wa3 then incubated at
37~C in an atmosphere of air ~aturated with water
vapor and containing 5% CO2 by volume for 48 h.
3. ~he percenta~e of surviving cell3 in the cultures
treated with substance solution wa~ determined by
~taining with cry~tal violet. For this purpose,
the liquid wa~ removed from the wells of the test
plate by tapping Lt. 50 ~1 of cry~tal violet
~olution were pipetted into each well.
The crystal violet ~olution had the composition
specif~ed in I.3
The crystal violet solution was left in the wells
for 20 min and then likewisQ removed by tapping.
The plates were then washed 5 time~ by immer~ion
in water in order to remove dye not bound to the
cell~. ~he dye bound to the cells wa~ extracted
by adding 100 ~1 of reagent ~olution (S0~ etha-
nol, 0.1~ glaciAl acetic acid, 49.9% water) to
each well.
4. The plate~ were shaken for 5 min to obtain a
solution of uniform color in each well. The

ZIQ0~0~6
- 12 - O.Z. 0050/40390
surviving cells were determined by mea~uring the
extinction at 540 nm of the colored solution in
the individual well~.
5. Subsequently, by relating to the cell control and
the rhu-TNF control, the 50% antagoni~m value wa~
defined, and the ~ample concentration which
resulted in 50% antagonism of rhu-TNF cytotox-
icity at the rhu-TWF concentration u~ed was
calculated a~ antagonistic activity of the ~ample
te~ted.
III. Competitive receptor-binding te~t
Both the agoni~tic and antagoni~tic effect~ of
peptide~ are conditional on th~ latter binding to
the TMF receptor. Thi~ mean~ that peptides with an
agonistic or antagoni~tic effect compete with
rhu-TNF for binding to the TNF receptor on TNF-
sensitive indicator cells (e.g. U937). ~he competi-
tive receptor-binding te~t wa~ carriad out a~
follow~ 5
1. 100 ~l of medium containing various concentra-
tions of the peptide to b~ te~ted and of rhu-T~F
(= control) were pipetted into the reaction
vessel~. The medium comprised 500 ~1 of PBS
(Boehringer Mannheim), lO ml of heat-inactivatsd
(56C, 30 min) FCS and 100 mg of sodium azide.
2. Sub~equently, lO0 ~l of medium containing 1 ng of
~Z~I-labeled rhu-~NF (Bol~on lactoperoxida~e
method) were placed in the reaction ve~8els and
mixed. The non-specific bindinq (N5B) was deter-
~ined by ~ixing in the reaction ve~8el~ the
l2~I-labeled rhu-TNF (1 ng of l2~I-rhu-TNF in lO0 ~l
of medium) with a 200-fold exce~8 of unl~beled
rh~-TNP (200 ng of rhu-TWF in 100 ~l of medium).

3. Then 100 ~1 of medium containing 2 x 10~ U937
cell~ (human) were pipetted into the reaction
ve~sel~ and mixed. The reaction vessel3 (test
volume 300 ~1) w~re incubated at 0C for 90 min.
The reaction mixtures were remixed after 45 min.
4. After the incubation the cells were centrifuged
at 1800 rp~ and 4C for 5 min, washed 3 times
with medium and transferred quantitatively into
counting vial~, and the cell-bound radioactivity
wa~ determined in a Clini gamma counter 1272
(LXB Wallac).
5. After the mea~uremant~ had ~ee~ corrected for the
non-specific binding, thè 50% competition value
w~ defined by relat~on to th~ overall binding,
and tha ~ample concentration which led to 50%
competition of l25I-rhu-TNF binding at the125I-rhu-
TNF concentratio~ used wa~ calculated as the
competitive activity of the ~ample tested.

II. Working up of peptide-re~ins obtained a~ in Ia
The peptide-resin obtained a~ in Ia was drisd under
reduced pressure and tran~ferred into a reaction
ves~el of a Teflon HF apparatus (from P~NINSULA).
Addition of a scavenger, preferably ani~ole (1 ml/g
of re~in), and of a thiol, in the ca~e of tryptophan-
containing peptide~, to remove the indole formyl
group, preferably ethanedithiol (0.5 ml/g of re~in)~
was followed by condensation i~ of hydrogen fluoride
(10 ml/~ o resin) while cooling with liquid N2. The
mixture waa allowed to wPrm to O-C, and waQ ~tirred
at thi~ temperature for 45 min. The hydrogen fluor-
id~ wa~ then stripped off under reduced pre~aure a~d
the residue wa~ wa~hed with e~hyl acetate in order
to rem~ve remaining 3cavenger. The peptid~ w~
extracted with 30% stren~th acetic acid and
filtered, and the filtrate was freezQ-dried.
To prepare peptide hydr~zides, the peptlde-resin
(Pam- or Merrifield resin) was ~u~pended in DMF
(15 ml/g of re~in), hydrazine hydrate (20 equiva-
lenta) was added, and the mixtur~ w~s stirred at
room t~mpsra~ure for 2 day~. To work up, the reain
was filtered off and the filtrate wa~ evaporated to
dry~ess. The reaidue was cry~tallized from DM~/~t2O
or ~eOH/Et2O.

Subsequently, N-termin~l deprotection and acetylation
were carried out (steps 2-4 and 8-9 as in AIb) and the
t-butyl and Boc protective group~ were eliminated (~tep~
1-6 a~ in AIa). The cyclization on the reain took place

in NMP with the addition of 3.54 g of BOP and 3.5 ml of
dii~opropylethylamine (16 h). The peptide-resin was dried
under reduced pressure. The yield was 7.0 g. The crude
product obtained after HF cleavage a~ in AII was purified
by gel filtration (SEPHADEX~ G-15) and medium pre~ure
chromatography (cf. AIV; 5-20% A; 0.25% min~1). 21 mg of
pure product were obtained.
