NOYEI. TNF PEPTIDES
The pre~ent in~ention relates to novel peptide~ derived
from tumor necrosis factor (TNF), the preparation thereof
and the u~e thereof as drugs.
Carswell et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 72 (1975)
3666) reported that the ~erum of endotoxin-treated
animals which had previously been infected w~th the
Calmette-Guerin ~train of Mycobacteria (8CG) brought
about hemorrhagic nscro~is in variou~ mou~e tumors. Thi3
activity was ascribed ~o tumor necrosis factor. TNP also
has a cytostatic or cytotoxi~ effect on a l~rgs number of
transformed cell line~ in vitro, whereas normal human and
animal cell lineR are unaffected (~ymphokine Report~ Vol.
2, pp 235-275, Academic Pre~, Naw York, 1981). Rec~ntly,
lS the biochsmical characterization and the gene for human
TNF have bean described (Nature 312 (1984) 724; J. Biol.
Che~. 260 (1985) 2345; Nucl. Acids R~s. 13 (1985) 6361).
It is po~sible to deduce from thi~ data the followLng

substances involved in inflammatory reactions (Pharmac.
Re~. 5 (1988) 129). Animal models have shown that TNF i~
involved in 3eptic ~hock (Science 229 (1985) 869) and
graft-ver~us-host diseas2 (J. Exp. Ned. 166 (1987) 1280).
We have now found that peptide~ with a considerably lower
molecular weight have benefical propertie~.
The present invention relate~ tspeptide~ of the formula I
~-A-B-Tyr-Y I,
where
10 A i~ Ser, Val, Ile or Pro,
B is Gln or Ser,
X is G-NH-CHM-CO-, G-NH-CHM-CO-W-, G-R-NH-CHN-CO- or
-G-R-NH-CHM-CO-W- and
Y is -Z, -NH-CHQ-CO-Z, -V-NH-CHQ-CO-Z, -NH-CHQ-CO-~-Z
or -V-NH-CHQ-CO-U-~
where, in X and Y,
G is hydrog~n or an amino-protective group,
Z i~ OH or NH2 or a carboxyl-protective group or
G and Z togather are also a covalent bond or
-CO-(CH2),-NN- where ~ i~ from 1 to 12,
R, U, V and W are peptide chain~ compo~ed of 1-4
n~tur lly occurring c-a~ino acids, and
N and Q are hydrogens or one of th~ following

(with b being from 1 to 6 and T baing hydrogen or

as well as the salt~ theraof with physiologically toler-
ated acid~.
The peptide~ of the formula I are constructed of L-amino
acid~, but they can contain 1 or 2 D-amino acid~. The
S side-chains of the trifunctional amino acids can carry
protective group~ or be unprotected.
Particularly preferred phy~iologically tolerated acid~
are: hydrochloric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid,
lactic acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid,
acetic acid, formic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid,
malic acid, succinic acid, malonic acid, sulfuric acid,
L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid, pyruvic acid, mucic
acid, benzoic acid, glucuronic acid, oxalic acid, ascor-
bic acid and acetylglycine.
~he novel peptide~ can be open-chain (G = H, amino-
protective group; Z = OH, NH2~ carboxyl-protective group,
M ant Q not connected together) and, in particular, have
a di~ulfide bridge (G = H, amino-protective group;
Z = OH, NH2~ carboxyl-protective group; M ~ Q = -(CH2)C-
S-S-(CH2)d-) or a side-chain bridge (G ~ H, amino-protec-
ti~e group, Z - OH, NH2~ carboxyl-protective group, M + Q
5 - ( CH2 ) ~-~H-CO- (CH2)~- or -(CH2).-~H-CO-(CH2)6-NH-CO-
(CH2)s-) or be linked head-to-tail (G ~ Z = covalent bond
or _CO-~cH2).-N~
~he novel compounds can be prepared by conventional
methods of peptide chemi~try.
Thu~, the peptides can be constructsd ~eguentially from
amino acids or by linking together 3uitable ~m~ller
pept$de fragment~. In the sequential construction, the
pep~id~ chain i~ axtended stepwise, by one amino acid
each tim~, starting at the C ter~inu~. In the case of
fragment coupling, it is po~sible to link together
ZC~05060
4 - O.Z. 0050/40386
fragments of different lengths, these in turn being
obtainable by sequential conctruction from amino acids or
coupling of other fragment~. The cyclic peptides are
obtained, after ~ynthesis of the open-chain peptides, by
a cyclization reaction c~rried out in high dilution.
In the ca~e both of sequential construction and of
fragment couplîng, it i8 neces~ary for the building
blocks to be linked by formation of an amide linkage.
Enzymatic and chemical methods are suitable for thi~.
Chemical method~ for forming amide linkageY are dealt
with in detail by Muller, Nethoden der Organi~chen Chemie
(Nethods of Organic Chemistry) Yol. XV/2, pp 1-364 r

Phase Peptide Synthe~is, pp 31-34, 71 82, Pierce Chemical
Company, Rockford, 1984; Bodanszky, ~lausner, Ondetti,
Peptide Synthe~is, pp 85-128, John Wiley & Sons, New
York, 1976 and other standard works of peptide chemistry.
Particularly preferred are the azide method, the sy~metr-
ical and mixed anhydrid~ method, active esters generated
in situ or pr~formed and ths formation of amide linkage~
using coupling reagents (activator~), in particular
dicyclohexylcArbodiimide (DCC), diisopropylcarbodiimide
(DIC), l-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline
(E~DQ), l-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiLmide
hydrochlor~de (~DCI), n-propanephosphonic anhydride
( PPA), N , N-bi~ (2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)amidophosphoryl
chloride (BOP-Cl), diphenylpho~phoryl azide (DPPA),
Ca~tro'~ r0sgent (BOP), O-benzotriazolyl-N,N,N',N'-tetra-
methyluronium ~alts (H~TU), 2,5-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro-3-
oxo-4-hydroxythiophe~e dioxid~ (Staglich~s reagent;
HOTDO) a~d l,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI). The coupling
reagents can be ~mployed alone or in combination with
additives ~uch as N,N'-dimethyl-4-aminopyridine (DMAP),
~-hydroxybensotriazole (HOBt~, N-hydroxybanzotriazine
3S (HOOBt), N-hydroxy~uccinimidQ (HOSu) or 2-hydroxy-

pyridine.
Wherea~ it is normally possible to dispen~e with
protective groups in enzymatic peptide ~ynthe~is, for
chemical ~ynthesi~ it is nece~sary for there to be
reversible protection of the reactive functional groups
which are not involved in the formation of the amide
linkage on the two reactant~. Three conventional pro-
tective group techniques are preferred for chemical
peptide ~yntheses: the benzyloxycarbonyl (Z), the
t-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) and the 9-fluorenylmethyloxy-
car~onyl (Fmoc) technique~. In each ca~e the protecti~e
group on the ~-~mino group of the chain-extending build-
ing block i~ identified. The side-chain protective groups
on the trifunctional amino acid~ are chosen ~o that th~y
are not nece~sarily eliminated togethar with the ~-amino
protectivs group. A detailed review of amino acid protec-
tive group~ is given by Muller, Methoden der Organischen
Che~ie Vol XV/l, pp 20-906, Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart,
1974.
The building blocks u~ed to construct the peptide chain
can be reactet in ~olution, in suspension or by a msthod
~imilar to that de~cribed by Nerrifield in J. Amer. Che~.
Soc. 85 (1963) 2149. Particularly preferred methods are
those in which peptides are constructed sequ2ntially or
by fragment coupling by u8e of the Z, Boc or Fmoc protec-
tiVQ group technique, in which ca~e the reaction takes
place in ~olution, as well as those in which, ~imilar to
the ~errifield technique, one reactant i8 bound to an
in~oluble polymer$c support (al~o called re~in herein-
after). This typically entails the peptide being con-
structed sequentially o~ the poly~eric ~upport, by u~e of
the Boc or Fmoc protective group technique, with the
growing peptide chain being covalently bonded at the
C ter~inua to the insoluble resin particle~ (cf. Figure~
35 1 and 2 ) . This procedure allow~ reaqents and byproduct~
2005060
~ 6 - 0.2. 0050/40386
to be removed by filtration, and thus recry~tallization
of intermediate~ uperfluous.
The protected amino acid~ can be bonded to any suitable
polym~rs which merely need to be insoluble in ths 801-
vents used and to have a stable phy~ical form whichallows easy fîltration. The polymer must contain a
functional group to which the first protected amino acid
can be firmly linked by a covalent bond. A wide variety
of polymers is suitable for thi~ purpose, for example
cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polymethacrylate, sulfon-
ated polystyrene, chloromethylated copolymer of styrene
and divinylbenzene (Merrifield resin), 4-methylben~-
hydrylamine-resin (MB~A-re~in), phenylacetamidomethyl-
resin (Pam-resin), p-benzyloxybsnzyl alcohol-resin,
benzhydrylamine-re~in (BHA-resin), 4-hydroxymethyl-
benzoyloxymethyl-resin, the re~in u~ed by Breipohl et al.
(Tetrahedron Lett. 28 (1987) 565; from BACHE~), HYCRAM
re~in ~from ORPEGEN) or SASRIN resin (from ~ACHEM).
Solvents ~uitable for peptide ~ynthesis in ~olution are
all those which are inert under the reaction conditions,
in particular water, N,N-dimethylformamide (DNF),
dimethyl sulfoxide (DNSO), acetonitrile, dichloromethane
(DCM), 1,4-dioxana, tetrahydrofuran (THF), N-methyl-2-
pyrrolidone (NMP) and ~ixture~ of the said ~olvent~.
Peptide synthesis on polymeric supports ~an be carriad
out in all inart organic solvents which dissolve the
amino acid derivative~ u~ed; however, solvent which also
have resin-sw~lling propertie~ are preferred, such as
DMF, DCM, NNP, acetoni~rile and D~SO, a~ well a~ mixture~
of tha~e ~olvent~.
After the peptide ha~ been ~ynthesized it i~ cleaved off
the polymeric ~upport. The clea~age conditiona for the
variou~ types of r2sin~ are disclosed in the literature.
The cl~avage reactions most commonly use acid and
2C~05060
- 7 - O.Z. 0050/40386
palladium catalysi~, in particular cleavage in anhydrous
liquid hydrogen fluoride, in anhydrous trifluoromethane-
sulfonic acid, in dilute or concentrated trifluoroacetic
acid or palladium-catalyzed cleavage Ln THF or THE-DCM
mixtures in the pre3ence of a weak base ~uch as morpho-
line. The protective groups may, depending on the choice
thereof, be retained or likewise cleaved off under the
cleavage conditions. Partial deprotection of the peptide
may al~o be worthwhile if the intention i~ to carry out
certain derivatization reactions or a cyclization.
Some of the novel peptides have good cytotoxic proper-
ties. Som~ other~ of the peptide~ have high affinity for
the cellular TNF receptor without, however, having
cytotoxic activity. They are therefore TNF antagoni~t~.
They compete with natural ~NF for binding to the cellular
TNF receptor and thus suppress the TWF effect. The novel
peptides are valuable drug~ which can be employed for
treating neopla~tic di~Qase~ and autoimmuns disease~ as
well a~ for controlling and preventing infection~,
inflammations and transplant re~ection reaction~. Simple
expsriment~ can be u~ed to alucidate the mode of action
of the individual peptides. The cy~otoxicity of the
peptide i~ determined by incubating a TNF-sensitive cell
line in the pre~ence of the peptide. In a second experi-
mental approach, the cell line is incubated with therelevant peptide in the presence of a lethal amount of
~NP. It iB possibla in this way to detect the
TNF-ant~goni~tic effect. In addition, the affinity of the
peptide for the cellular TNP receptor i8 determined in an
in vitro binding experiment.
~he following test ~ystems were used to characterize the
agonistic and antagonistic effect~ of th~ novel p~ptides:
I. Cytotoxicity t2st on TNF-sen~itive indicator cells,
I~. Cytotoxicity antagonis~ t~ on TN~-~ensiti~e
2005060
- 8 - O.Z. 0050/40386
indicator cells,
III. Competitive receptor-binding test on indicator cell~
expressing TNF receptor.
I. Cytotoxicity test
The agonistic effects of the novel peptide~ are
as~essed on the ba~i~ of their cytotoxic effect on
TNF-sensitive cells (e.g. L929, MCF-7, A204, U937).
The test with L929 and MCF-7 was carried out a~
follows~
1. 100 ~1 of culture medium containing 3 to 5 x 103
fre~hly trypsinized, exponentially growing, L929
cells (mou~e) or ~CF-7 cells (human) were
pipetted into the well8 of a 96-well flat-bottom
culture plate. The plate was incubated at 37C
overnight. The air in the $ncubator wa~ saturated
with water vapor and contained 5% COz by volume.
The L929 culture medium contained 500 ml of lx
Earle's NEM (Boehringer Mannheim)~ 50 ml of heat-
inactivated (56C, 30 min) fatal calf serum
(PCS), 50 ml of L-glutamine (200 mM), 5 ml of
lOOx non-essentLal amino acids, 3 ml of lM HEPES
buffer pH 7.2,and 50 ml of gentAmicin (50 mg/ml).
Th~ NCF-7 culture mediu~ contained 500 ml of lx
Dulbecco'~ MEM (~oehringor Mannheim), 100 ml of
heat inactivated (56C, 30 min) FCS, 5 ml of
L-glut~mine and 5 ml of lOOx non-e~sential amino
acids .
2. The next day 100 ~1 of the peptide solution to be
te~ted were added to the cell cultures and
~ub~ected to serial 2-fold dilution. In addition,
some cell control~ (i.e. cell cultures not
treated with peptide dilutio~) and ~o~e rhu-TNF
control~ (i.e. cell cultures treated with recom-
2()05060
g o.Z. 0050/40386
binant human TNF) were al~o made up. The culture
plate wa~ incubated at 37C in an atmosphere of
air saturated with water vapor and containing 53
C02 by volume for 48 h.
3. The percentage of surviving cell~ in the cultures
treated with peptide dilution wa~ determined by
~taining with cry~tal violet. For thi~ purpo~e,
the liquid wa3 removed from the wells of the test
plate by tapping it. 50 ~1 of crystal violet
solution were pipe~ted into each well.
- The composition of the crystal violet solution
wa~ as followss
3.75 g of cry3tal violet
1.75 g of NaCl
161.5 ml of ethanol
43.2 ml of 37% formaldehyde
water ad 500 ml
The crystal violet ~olution wa~ left in the well~
for 20 min and then likewise removed by tapping.
The plates w~re then w~hed 5 time~ by immar~ion
in water in order to remove dye not bound to the
cell~. The dye bound to the cell~ wa~ extracted
by ~dding 100 ~1 of ra~gent solution (50% etha-
nol, 0.1% glacial acetic acid, 49.9% water~ ~o
each well.
4. Th~ pl~tes were shaken for 5 min to obtain a
solution of un~form color in each well. The
surviving cell~ w~re determined by mea~uring the
extinction at 540 nm of tho colored ~olution in
the individual wells.
5. Subsequently, by relating to the cell control,
Z1~05060
- 10 - O.Z. 0050/403~6
the 50~ cytotoxicity value was defined, and the
reciprocal of the sample dilution which requlted
in 50~ cytotoxicity was calculated as the cyto-
toxic activity of the te~t 8ample.
II. Cytotoxicity antagonism te~t
The antagonistic effect of the peptides was assessed
on the ba3is of their property of anta~onizing the
cytotoxic effect of rhu-TNF on TNP-sen~itive cell3
(Q.g. L929, MCP-7, A204, U937). The cytotoxicity
antagoni~m test with L929 and NCF-7 cell~ was
carried out as follows:
1. 100 ~1 of culture medium containing 3 to 5 x 103
freQhly trypsinized, exponentially growing, L929
cells (mou3e) or ~CF-7 cell8 (human) were
pipetted into the wells of a 96-w~ll flat-bottom
culture plate. The plate wa~ incubated at 37C
overnight. The air in the incubator was saturated
with water vapor and contained 5% CO2 by volume.
T~e L929 culture medium contained 500 ml of lx
Earle'~ MEM (Bo~hringer Mhnnheim), 50 ml of heat-
inactivated (56C, 30 min) FCS, 5 ml of L-gluta-
mine (200 m~), 5 ml of lOOx non-es~ential amino
acld~, 3 ml of lN B PES buffer pH 7.2, and 500 ~1
of gent~micin (50 mg/ml).
Th~ ~CF-7 culture medium cont~ined 500 ml of lx
Dulbecco~s MEM (Boehringer ~nnnheim), 100 ml of
heat in~çtiYated (56-C, 30 min) FCS, 5 ml of
L-glutamine (200 m~) and 5 ml of 100~ non-
essential amino acids.
2. The nex~ day lO0 ~1 of the peptide ~olution to be
te~ted were added to the cell cultures and
~ub~ected to ~erial 2-fold dilut~on. Then, 100 ~1
of a rhu-TNP dilution in culture mediu~, which
20050~i0
~ O.Z. 0050/4038b
dilution had an 80-100% cytotoxic effect in the
final concentration in the cell culture, were
added to these cell culture~. In addition, ~ome
cell control~ (i.e. cell culture~ not treated
with peptide ~olution or with rhu-TNF ~olution)
and some rhu-TNF control~ (= cell cultures
treated only wi~h rhu-~NF ~olution) were also
made up. The culture pla~e wa~ then incubated at
37C in an atmosphere of air saturated with water
vapor and containing 5% CO2 by vol~me for 48 h.
3. The percentage of ~urviving cell~ in the cultures
treated with ~ub~tance solution was determined by
~taining with cry~tal violet. For thi~ purpose,
the liquid was removed from tha well~ of the test
plate by tapping it. 50 ~1 of crystal violet
solution were pipetted into each well.
The cry~tal violet solution had the compo~ition
specified in I.3
The crystal violet solution waH left in the well
for 20 ~in and then likewise re~oved by tapping.
The plate~ were then washed 5 ti~e~ by immersion
in water in order to r~move dye not bound to the
cell~. The dye bound to the cells was extracted
by adding 100 ~1 of reagent solution (50~ etha-
nol, 0.1~ glacial acet$c acid, 49.9S waterJ to
each well.
4. The plate~ were shaken for 5 min to obtain a
~olution of uniform color in eAch wall. The
~urviving cells were determined by measuring the
extinction at 540 nm of the colored solution in
the individual well8.
5. Subsequently, by relating to the cell control and
2005060
- 12 - O.Z. 0050/40386
the rhu-TNF control, the 50% antagoni~m value ~as
defined, and the ~ample concentration which
resulted in 50% antagoniqm of rhu-T~F
cytotoxicity at the rhu-TNF concent-ation used
wa~ calculated as antagonistic ac~ivity of the
sample te~ted.
III. Competitive receptor-binding te~t
Both the agonistic and antagonistic effects of
peptide~ are conditional on the latter binding to
the ~NF raceptor. Thi~ means that peptides with an
agoni~tic or antagoni~tic effect compete with
rhu-TNF for binding to the TNF rec~ptor on TNF-
q~n~itive indicator cells (e.g. U937). The ~ompeti-
tive receptor-binding te~t was carried out a~
followss
1. 100 ~1 of medium containing various concentra-
tion~ of the peptide to be te~ted and of rhu-TNF
(= control) were pipetted into the reaction
ve~sels. The medium compri~ed 500 ml of PBS
(Boehringer Msnnheim), 10 ml of he~t-inactivated
~56C, 30 min) PCS and 100 mg of ~odium azide.
2. Subsequently, 100 ~1 of medium cont~ining 1 ng of
~ labeled rhu-~NP (Bolton lactoperoxida~e
method) were placed in the reaction VQE8elB and
mixed. The non-spscific binding (NSB) was deter-
~lned by mixing in the reaction ve~sel~ the
~5I-labQled rhu-TNP (1 ng of ~'I-rhu-TNF in 100 ~1
of med~um) with a 200-fold e~co~s of unlabeled
rhu-TNF (200 ng of rhu-TNF in 100 ~1 of medium).
3. Then 100 ~1 of medium containing 2 x 10~ U937
cells (human) were pipetted into the raaction
v~el~ and mixed. The rea~tion ve~891E (test
volu~e 300 ~1) were incubated at 0C for 90 min.
2C~OS060
- 13 - O.Z. 0050/40386
The reaction mixture~ were remixed after 45 min.
4. After the incubation, the cell~ were centrifuged
at 1800 rpm and 4C for 5 min, washed 3 time8
with medium and transferred quantitatively into
S counting vials, and the cell-bound radioactivity
was determined in a Clini gamma counter 1272
lI,RB ~allac).
5. After the measurement~ had been corrected for the
non-~pecific b~nding, the 50~ compstition value
0 wa8 defined by relating to the overall binding,
and the sample concentration which led to 50~
competition of ~5I-rhu-TNF binding at the125I-rhu-
~NF concentration u~ed was calculated as the
competitive activity of the sampla tested.
~he Examples which follow are intended to explain the
in~ention in more detail. The proteinogenous amino acids
are abbreviated in the Example~ u~ing the conYentional
three-letter code. Other meaning~ are~
Ab~ = 4-aminobutyric acid, Ac - acetic acid,
Bal - ~-al~niné, Hcy = homocysteine, Hly = homolysine,
Orn = ornithine, Dap = 2,3-diaminopropionic acid.

reduced pressure and tran~ferred into a reaction
ve~el of a Teflon HF apparatu3 (from PENINSULA).
Addition of a scavenger, preferably ani~ole (1 ml/g
of re~in), and of a thiol in the ca~e of tryptophan-
containing peptides, to remove the indole formyl
group, preferably ethanedithiol (0.5 ml/g of resin),
was followed by conden~ation in of hydrogen fluoride
(10 ml/g of re in) while cooling with liquid N2. The
mixture was allowed to warm to O-C, and was stirred
at thi~ temperature for 45 min. The hydrogen fluor-
ide wa~ then ~tripped off under reduced pressure and
the residue wa~ wa~hed with ethyl acetate in order
to remove remaining sc~venger. The peptide was
axtract~d with 30~ ~trength acetic acid and
filtered, and the filtrate was fre~ze-dried.
~o prepare peptide hydrazides, the peptide-re~in
(Pam- or N~rrifield resin) wa~ suspended in DME
(15 ml/g of resin), hydrazinQ hydrate (20 equiva-
lent~) was added, and the mixtu~e wa~ ~tirred at
room tRmperature for 2 days. To work up, the reain
wa~ f~ltered off and the filtrate wae evaporated to
dryne~. Th2 residue wa~ crystallized from DNP/~t20
or MeOHl~t2O.
III. Working up of the peptide-res~ns obtained a~ in Ib
The peptid~-ra6in obtainffd as in Ib was dried u~der
reduced pressure and sub~equently ~ub~ected to one
of the following cleav~ge procedurss, depending on
the amino acid compo~ition (W~de, Tregear, Howard
Florey Fmoc-Work~hop Nanual, Nelbourne 1985).
