ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates generally to methods of treating thrombosis, and, more particularly, to such methods using peptides.
The formation of a blood clot within a blood vessel, a process termed thrombosis, is a serious condition which can cause tissue damage and, if untreated, eventually lead to death. Thrombotic formation is dependent upon platelet aggregation. The interaction of blood platelets with the endothelial surface of injured blood vessels and with other platelets is a major factor in the course of development of clots or thrombi.
Various products to prevent formation of such clots are now available, such as asparin, dipyridamole and heparin. These products generally kill or remove platelets, which can eliminate the clot but has the potential serious side effect of causing prolonged bleeding. Moreover, the effect of such products can only be reversed by new platelets being formed or provided.
Platelet aggregation is dependent upon the binding of fibrinogen and other serum proteins to the glycoprotein receptor IIb/IIIa complex on the platelet plasma membrane. GP IIb/IIIa is a member of a large family of cell adhesion receptors known as integrins, many of which are known to recognize an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) tripeptide recognition sequence. One hypothesis for the specificity of interactions between the various receptors and the RGD-containing peptides is that individual receptor specificity is determined by the conformation that the RGD sequence adopts in each individual ligand. Alternatively, the nature of residues flanking the RGD sequence could influence receptor affinity, receptor selectivity and other biological properties.
Inhibition of GP IIb/IIIa receptor binding, and therefore of platelet aggregation, without inhibition of other cell adhesion receptors would be necessary for the prevention of coronary thrombosis. There thus exists a need for a composition able to specifically inhibit the platelet aggregation receptor GP IIb/IIIa and to dissolve blood clots without removing or killing platelets and without causing detrimental side effects such as prolonged bleeding. The present invention satisfies this need and provides related advantages as well.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention provides cyclic RGD or KGD containing peptides which inhibit platelet aggregation without causing prolonged bleeding time. Typically these peptides contain hydrophobic amino acids adjacent to the carboxy terminus of the RGD or KGD sequence. Peptides of this nature are also provided which contain in addition to the hydrophobic amino acid an adjacent positively charged amino acid. Such peptides have a high affinity for the IIb/IIIa receptor and a low affinity for the fibronectin and vitronectin receptors. Such peptides can be administered in a suitable physiologically acceptable carrier to therapeutically treat thrombosis.
Additionally, the invention provides RGD or KGD containing cyclic peptides which do not have a hydrophobic amino acid adjacent to the carboxy terminus.
