In this method, the first solvent and the third solvent are each independently selected from halogenated solvents. The second solvent is an ether solvent.

[0212] In a certain aspect, the present invention relates to a method for producing an amino acid loaded on a resin for solid-phase synthesis, the method comprising a step of bringing a resin for solid-phase synthesis swollen in a solvent comprising a first solvent into contact with (i) a solution comprising an amino acid and a second solvent, or (ii) a solution comprising an amino acid, a second solvent, and a third solvent. In this method, the first solvent and the third solvent are each independently selected from halogenated solvents. The second solvent is an ether solvent.

[0213] In the solid-phase method, in order to efficiently load amino acids on the resin for solid-phase synthesis, the resin for solid-phase synthesis is usually swollen with a solvent prior to the loading reaction of amino acids on the resin. In the present invention, a solvent containing a first solvent selected from halogenated solvents is used to swell the resin for solid-phase synthesis. Examples of the first solvent specifically include DCM, DCE, chloroform, chlorobenzene, and carbon tetrachloride, of which DCM is preferred. If the first solvent contains another solvent in addition to a halogenated solvent, any solvent, such as MeTHF, MTBE, CPME, THF, IPE, DME, diethyl ether, or dioxane, can be contained in addition to the halogenated solvent. As a solvent contained in addition to the halogenated solvent, MeTHF, MTBE, and CPME are preferred. For these solvents, dehydrated solvents are preferably used for the purpose of suppressing the degradation of the resin for solid-phase synthesis. The dehydrated solvent may be a commercially available dehydrated solvent that can be purchased from a commercial supplier, or a solvent that has been dehydrated beforehand by any method. The swelling of the resin for solid-phase synthesis can be performed by adding a solvent containing the first solvent to a container such as a column containing the resin, and maintaining this state at any temperature, for example, room temperature, for any period of time, for example, 5 minutes to 24 hours, during which the container may be shaken. Once the swelling of the resin is complete, the solvent is preferably discharged from the container by filtration or the like.

[0214] In a certain aspect, once the resin for solid-phase synthesis has sufficiently swelled, the amino acids can be loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by bringing the resin for solid-phase synthesis into contact with a solution containing the amino acids and a second solvent. The loading of the amino acids on the resin for solid-phase synthesis is usually performed by linking the carboxyl groups of the amino acids to the linker atom groups contained in the resin. The second solvent is an ether solvent such as MeTHF, MTBE, CPME, THF, IPE, DME, diethyl ether, or dioxane, of which MeTHF, MTBE, and CPME are preferred. The solution preferably does not contain any solvents other than the second solvent. The contact of the resin for solid-phase synthesis with the solution containing the amino acids and the second solvent can be performed, for example, by adding a solution containing the amino acids and the second solvent to a container such as a column containing the resin, and maintaining this state at any temperature, for example, room temperature, for any period of time, for example, 10 minutes to 24 hours, during which the container may be shaken. The concentration of amino acids in the solution is not particularly limited, but preferred examples include the range of 0.01 mol/L to 2.0 mol/L. If an acid is produced by the loading reaction between a linker atom group and an amino acid, a base such as DIPEA can be added to the solution to capture the acid.

[0215] In another aspect, once the resin for solid-phase synthesis has sufficiently swelled, the amino acids can be loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by bringing the resin for solid-phase synthesis into contact with a solution containing the amino acids and a mixed solvent of the second solvent and the third solvent. The second solvent is an ether solvent such as MeTHF, MTBE, CPME, THF, IPE, DME, diethyl ether, and dioxane, of which MeTHF, MTBE, and CPME are preferred. The third solvent is a halogenated solvent such as DCM, DCE, chloroform, chlorobenzene, and carbon tetrachloride, of which DCM is preferred. The mixing ratio of the second solvent with the third solvent is not particularly limited, but their volume ratio is preferably in the range of 1:1 to 1:10, and examples thereof specifically include second solvent:third solvent=1:1, 1:2, 1:5, and 1:10. Preferred combinations of the second solvent and the third solvent include MeTHF and DCM, MTBE and DCM, CPME and DCM, MeTHF and DCE, THF and DCM, and WE and DCM. The solution preferably does not contain any solvents other than the second solvent and the third solvent. The contact of the resin for solid-phase synthesis with a solution containing the amino acids and the mixed solvent of the second solvent and the third solvent can be performed, for example, by adding a solution containing the amino acids and the second solvent or third solvent, then adding the third solvent or second solvent, or adding a solution containing the amino acids and the mixed solvent of the second solvent and the third solvent, to a container such as a column containing the resin, and maintaining this state at any temperature, for example, room temperature, for any period of time, for example, 10 minutes to 24 hours, during which the container may be shaken. The concentration of amino acids in the solution is not particularly limited, but preferred examples include the range of 0.01 mol/L to 2.0 mol/L. If an acid is produced by the loading reaction between a linker atom group and an amino acid, a base such as DIPEA can be added to the solution to capture the acid.

[0216] According to the present invention, which uses a specific solvent for the swelling of the resin for solid-phase synthesis and the subsequent loading of amino acids on the resin, the amino acids can be linked to the resin at a very high loading ratio or reaction conversion ratio, such as a loading ratio or reaction conversion ratio of 90% or more, 91% or more, 92% or more, 93% or more, 94% or more, 95% or more, 96% or more, 97% or more, 98% or more, 99% or more, or about 100%.

[0217] The resin for solid-phase synthesis used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it can be used for the synthesis of peptide compounds by the solid-phase method. Examples of such resin for solid-phase synthesis specifically include those that can be removed under acidic conditions, such as a CTC resin, a Wang resin, a SASRIN resin, a trityl chloride resin (Trt resin), a 4-methyltrityl chloride resin (Mtt resin), and 4-methoxytrityl chloride resin (Mmt). The resin can be appropriately selected according to the functional group on the amino acid used. For example, if a carboxyl group (main-chain carboxyl group or side-chain carboxyl group typified by Asp or Glu) or a hydroxy group on an aromatic ring (phenolic hydroxyl group typified by Tyr) is used as the functional group on the amino acid, a trityl chloride resin (Trt resin) or a 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin (CTC resin) is preferably used as the resin. If an aliphatic hydroxy group (aliphatic alcoholic hydroxyl group typified by Ser and Thr) is used as the functional group on the amino acid, a trityl chloride resin (Trt resin), a 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin (CTC resin) or a 4-methyltrityl chloride resin (Mtt resin) is preferably used as the resin. In the present specification, resin is sometimes referred to as resin.

[0218] The type of polymer constituting the resin is also not particularly limited. In the case of a resin composed of polystyrene, either 100-200 mesh or 200-400 mesh may be used. The cross-linking ratio is not particularly limited, but 1% cross-linked with DVB (divinylbenzene) is preferred. Examples of the type of polymer constituting the resin include TentaGel (registered trademark) and ChemMatrix (registered trademark).

[0219] In a certain aspect, the amino acid to be loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis in the present invention may be a natural amino acid or a non-natural amino acid. If the amino acid to be loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis is a non-natural amino acid, the amino acid is preferably a non-natural N-substituted amino acid. The non-natural amino acid can contain an aminocarbonyl group such as mono-C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkylaminocarbonyl, di-C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkylaminocarbonyl, and 4- to 8-membered cyclic aminocarbonyl. Examples of such aminocarbonyl group specifically include dimethylaminocarbonyl, 1-azetidinylcarbonyl, 1-pyrrolidinylcarbonyl, 1-piperidinylcarbonyl, 1-piperazinylcarbonyl, 4-morpholinylcarbonyl, 3-oxazolidinylcarbonyl, 1,1-dioxidothiomorpholinyl-4-ylcarbonyl, and 3-oxa-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-ylcarbonyl, and these groups are preferably present on a side chain. The amino acid to be loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis preferably has its amino group protected with a protective group.

[0220] The amino acid is loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by a carboxyl group bound to the carbon atom at the , , or -position of the amino group. Examples of amino acids loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by a carboxyl group bound to the carbon atom at the -position of the amino group include aspartic acid and derivatives thereof. Specifically, the case in which it is loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by the carboxyl group present in the side chain of aspartic acid corresponds to the case in which it is loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by the carboxyl group bound to the carbon atom at the -position of the amino group. In addition, examples of amino acids loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by a carboxyl group bound to the carbon atom at the -position of the amino group include glutamic acid and derivatives thereof. Specifically, the case in which it is loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by the carboxyl group present in the side chain of glutamic acid corresponds to the case in which it is loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by the carboxyl group bound to the carbon atom at the -position of the amino group. Other natural amino acid residues and the N-substituted amino acid residues thereof are usually loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by a carboxyl group bound to the carbon atom at the -position of the amino group.

[0221] In a certain aspect, the non-natural amino acid loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by a carboxyl group bound to the carbon atom at the -position of the amino group is aminocarbonylated aspartic acid, 2-aminobutanoic acid, or an N-substituted form thereof. Here, aminocarbonylated aspartic acid is aminocarbonylated (CONRR) at the free carboxyl (COOH) group bound to the carbon atom at the -position of the amino group of aspartic acid. Examples of aminocarbonylated aspartic acid specifically include dialkylaminocarbonylated aspartic acid such as dimethylaminocarbonyl, in other words, aspartic acid in which the R and R are independently alkyl groups, and aspartic acid aminocarbonylated with the N atom of a saturated heterocyclic ring containing an N atom (e.g., azetidine ring, morpholine ring, pyrrolidine ring, piperidine ring, and azepane ring), in other words, aspartic acid in which R and R together with the N atom to which they are bound form a saturated heterocyclic ring, and these can be N-substituted forms, such as N-alkyl forms including N-methyl and N-ethyl forms.

[0222] In a certain aspect, the non-natural amino acid loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis by a carboxyl group bound to the carbon atom at the -position of the amino group is aminocarbonylated glutamic acid, or an N-substituted form thereof. Here, aminocarbonylated glutamic acid is aminocarbonylated (CONRR) at the free carboxyl (COOH) group of glutamic acid. Examples of aminocarbonylated glutamic acid specifically include dialkylaminocarbonylated glutamic acid such as dimethylaminocarbonyl, in other words, aspartic acid in which the R and R are independently alkyl groups, and glutamic acid aminocarbonylated with the N atom of a saturated heterocyclic ring containing an N atom (e.g., azetidine ring, morpholine ring, pyrrolidine ring, piperidine ring, and azepane ring,), in other words, aspartic acid in which R and R together with the N atom to which they are bound form a saturated heterocyclic ring, and these can be N-substituted forms, such as N-alkyl forms including N-methyl and N-ethyl forms.

[0223] In a certain aspect, the first solvent used for swelling the resin for solid-phase synthesis and the third solvent used for loading the amino acids on the resin are preferably the same solvent. That is, if a mixed solvent of the second solvent and the third solvent is used in the reaction for loading the amino acids on the resin for solid-phase synthesis, the third solvent can be the same solvent as the solvent used for swelling the resin for solid-phase synthesis. If the first solvent and the third solvent are the same solvent, DCM is preferred as the solvent.

[0224] In a certain aspect, the solution containing an amino acid and the second solvent can be a solution obtained by an extraction operation including the use of a second solvent, which is performed after the deprotection reaction of the protective group for the amino acid's carboxyl group prior to step 1, and a subsequent optional dehydration operation.

[0225] In another aspect, the solution containing an amino acid, a second solvent, and a third solvent can be a solution obtained by further adding a third solvent to a solution obtained by an extraction operation including the use of a second solvent, which is performed after the deprotection reaction of the protective group for the amino acid's carboxyl group prior to step 1, and a subsequent optional dehydration operation.

[0226] If the amino acid to be loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis is provided as an amino acid in which the carboxyl group or both the amino and carboxyl groups are protected with a protective group, the protective group of the carboxyl group needs to be removed for deprotection prior to the loading reaction on the resin to prepare for linkage with the linker atom group of the resin. In the present invention, by subjecting the amino acid produced after the deprotection reaction for that purpose to an extraction operation including the use of a second solvent, a solution containing the amino acid and the second solvent to be used for the loading reaction on the resin for solid-phase synthesis can be obtained without isolating or purifying the amino acid. Alternatively, by adding a third solvent to the solution containing the amino acid and the second solvent thus obtained, a solution containing the amino acid, the second solvent, and the third solvent to be used for the loading reaction on the resin for solid-phase synthesis can be obtained. After the extraction operation, a dehydration operation may be performed, for which a desiccant such as Na.sub.2SO.sub.4, MgSO.sub.4, or CaCl.sub.2) is preferably used. When isolating and purifying deprotected amino acids, operations such as solvent distillation and azeotropic dehydration are required, and as such, the amino acids are kept in solution for a long time, which promotes their degradation. This tendency is even more pronounced in large-scale synthesis, where the amount of solvent and reagents is increased. By using the above method of the present invention, which does not involve the isolation and purification of deprotected amino acids, it is possible to avoid such problems and to effectively link to the subsequent loading reaction. For the removal of the protective group for the carboxyl group, known methods, such as those described in Greene's, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (5th edition, John Wiley & Sons 2014), can be used. After the deprotection reaction, any operation commonly used in the present art, such as a reaction stopping operation, a back-extraction operation in which the target product is once transferred to an aqueous layer, or a washing operation of the organic or aqueous layer, may be included before or after the extraction operation including the use of a second solvent. If a back-extraction operation is performed, the solution containing the amino acid and the second solvent can be obtained by adding an acid (e.g., phosphoric acid) and the second solvent to the aqueous layer from which the organic layer after the back-extraction operation has been removed, and extracting the product.

[0227] If the carboxyl group of the amino acid is protected with a protective group, the protective group is preferably removable by an acid. Examples of such protective group specifically include t-Bu, trityl, methoxytrityl, and cumyl. As the acid capable of removing the protective group, the acids in the acidic conditions described in Greene's, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (5th edition, John Wiley & Sons 2014), and those described in WO 2020/111238 can be used.

[0228] In a certain aspect, the present invention further includes a step of elongating one or more arbitrary amino acids to the amino acid loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis. This step allows to obtain a peptide compound with the desired amino acid sequence. Methods known in the present art can be used for this step, and for example, the methods described in WO 2013/100132, WO 2018/225851, and WO 2018/225864, or the method described in the Solid Phase Synthesis Handbook published by Merck on May 1, 2002 can be applied.

[0229] In a certain aspect, the peptide compound of the present invention produced by the solid-phase method is a linear peptide compound, which, in addition to the conditions for the total number of natural and non-natural amino acids described above, contains at least one N-substituted amino acid residue, preferably at least two (specifically 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 25, or 30, preferably 5, 6 or 7, with preferred ranges of 2 to 30, 3 to 30, 6 to 20, 7 to 19, 7 to 18, 7 to 17, 7 to 16, 7 to 15, 8 to 14, and 9 to 13), and contains at least one amino acid residue that is not N-substituted. Examples of the percentage of N-substituted amino acids in such peptide compound include 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 60% or more, 70% or more, and 80% or more of the total number of amino acids constituting the peptide compound. The N-substituted amino acid residue in the present invention may be a non-natural N-substituted amino acid residue other than proline.

[0230] In a certain aspect, the present invention also relates to a method for producing a cyclic peptide compound, which further includes a step of obtaining a linear peptide compound, a salt thereof, or a solvate thereof produced by the solid-phase method, a step of removing the resin for solid-phase synthesis, and a step of cyclizing the C-terminus group and the N-terminus group of the peptide compound to form a cyclic portion.

[0231] For both the step of removing the peptide compound from the resin for solid-phase synthesis and the step of cyclizing the C-terminus group and the N-terminus group of the peptide compound to form a cyclic portion, methods known in the present art can be used, and for example, the methods described in WO 2013/100132, WO 2018/225851, and WO 2018/225864, or the methods described in the Solid Phase Synthesis Handbook published by Merck on May 1, 2002 can be applied.

[0232] In a certain aspect, the number of N-substituted amino acids in the cyclic portion of the cyclic peptide compound is preferably 2 or more or 3 or more, more preferably 4 or more, 5 or more, or 6 or more, still more preferably 7 or more, particularly preferably 8 or more, and 20 or less, 15 or less, 14 or less, 13 or less, 12 or less, 10 or less, and 9 or less are also preferred examples. In the present specification, examples of the number of N-substituted amino acids in the cyclic peptide compound include 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 60% or more, 70% or more, and 80% or more of the number of amino acids constituting the cyclic portion.

[0233] The compound of the present invention, the salt thereof, or the solvate thereof includes all stereoisomers of the compound of interest obtained through each of the reaction steps described above (e.g., enantiomers, diastereomers (including cis and trans geometric isomers)), racemates of the isomers, and other mixtures. For example, the compound of the present invention may have one or more asymmetric points, and the present invention includes racemic mixtures, diastereomeric mixtures, and enantiomers of such compound.

EXAMPLES

[0237] The contents of the present invention are further described by the following Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these contents. All starting materials and reagents were obtained from commercial suppliers or synthesized using known methods.

[Quantitation Method]

[0238] The method for evaluating the loading ratio on the resin for solid-phase synthesis was calculated based on the reaction conversion ratio shown below. That is, the reaction conversion ratio for the loading reaction was calculated based on the amount of reduction obtained by comparing the amount of amino acids in the reaction solution before the start of the loading reaction and the amount of amino acids in the reaction solution after the end of the loading reaction. The amount of amino acids was calculated by measuring the amino acid concentration in the reaction solution by the method shown below. Specifically, the solution after the end of the loading reaction was filtered, 5 L of the filtrate was diluted with 1 mL of acetonitrile, and then 1 L of the diluted solution was used for HPLC measurements. If an aspartic acid derivative was used as the amino acid, the calculation was made according to the following formula.

Reaction Conversion Ratio (%)={(area of aspartic acid derivative before start of loading reaction)(area of aspartic acid derivative after end of loading reaction)}100/area of aspartic acid derivative before start of loading reaction

[0239] The yield in the loading reaction was calculated by the Fmoc quantitation method or by a method of performing a deresination treatment on the resin after the loading reaction and measuring the weight of the recovered amino acids (isolation method).

[0240] The Fmoc quantitation method is a method in which the Fmoc groups of Fmoc amino acids loaded for solid-phase synthesis are removed and the amount of Fmoc is calculated from the absorbance of free dibenzofulvene. The operations for the Fmoc quantitation method are as follows.

[0241] Approximately 15 mg of dried resin was weighed precisely and made up to 100 mL by adding a 20% piperidine DMF solution. After shaking for 30 minutes or more, approximately 1 mL of the solution was measured by a spectrophotometer.

[0242] The yield determined by the Fmoc quantitation method was calculated according to the following formula.

Loading rate=((absorption value at 289.8 nm wavelength)/6089)100000/(weight of weighed dry resin)

Yield (Fmoc quantitation method)=(total weight of dry resin)(loading rate)(molecular weight of loaded amino acid)100/(weight of loaded amino acid)

[0243] Operation for isolation method: A resin for solid-phase synthesis loading amino acids was swollen with DMF. The above resin for solid-phase synthesis was mixed with a DCM solution containing TFA to perform a deresination reaction of the amino acids loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis. The resin for solid-phase synthesis and the solution were separated, and the solvent of the solution was distilled off to measure the weight of the amino acids loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis. The yield for the isolation of the amino acids loaded on the resin for solid-phase synthesis was calculated based on the weight of amino acids used in the loading step and the weight of amino acids recovered in the above operation.

[0244] Yield for amino acid isolation: Calculated by subtracting the residual amount of the solvent (such as DCM, TFA, or DMF) used in the reaction or isolation operation from the dry weight of the amino acids obtained. The residual solvent was measured under the NMR conditions 1 or 2 and calculated by the method shown below.

[0245] Residual amount of DCM: 5 mg of cleaved amino acids was weighed precisely and dissolved in 700 L of DMSO-d.sub.6 to prepare a sample, and then .sup.1H-NMR was measured. Using the aromatic ring region originating from the Fmoc group (: 7.90-7.29, 8H, m) as a standard, the residual amount of solvent contained in the amino acids was calculated from the integral ratio of DCM (: 5.76, 2H, s) using the following formula.

Weight % of residual DCM to amino acids=((84.93 (DCM molecular weight))(integral ratio of DCM when integral value of aromatic ring region of amino acid is 1))100/((84.93 (DCM molecular weight))(integral ratio of DCM when integral value of aromatic ring region of amino acid is 1)+(molecular weight of amino acid))

[0246] Residual amount of DMF: 5 mg of cleaved amino acids was weighed precisely and dissolved in 700 L of DMSO-d.sub.6 to prepare a sample, and then .sup.1H-NMR was measured. Using the aromatic ring region originating from the Fmoc group (: 7.90-7.29, 8H, m) as a standard, the residual amount of solvent contained in the amino acids was calculated from the integral ratio of DMF (: 7.95, 1 H, s) using the following formula.

Weight % of residual DMF to amino acids=((73.09 (DMF molecular weight))(integral ratio of DMF when integral value of aromatic ring region of amino acid is 1))100/((73.09 (DMF molecular weight))(integral ratio of DMF when integral value of aromatic ring region of amino acid is 1)+(molecular weight of amino acid))

[0247] Residual amount of TFA: 5 mg of cleaved amino acids and 5 mg of an internal standard substance were weighed precisely and dissolved in 700 L of DMSO-d.sub.6 to prepare a sample, and then .sup.19F-NMR was measured using the internal standard substance (: 76.0, 6F, s) as a standard, and the residual amount of solvent contained in the amino acids was calculated from the integral ratio of TFA (: 89.4, 3F, s) using the following formula.

Weight % of residual TFA contained in amino acids=((weight of internal standard substance)(114.02(molecular weight of TFA))(6(number of fluorine atoms in internal standard substance))(integral value of TFA)100)/((weight of amino acids)(258.12 (molecular weight of internal standard substance))(3 (number of fluorine atoms in TFA))(integral value of internal standard substance))
