Abstract

beta -Defensins (I). beta -Defensins of formula (I) are new Z1-CLHLQLLALKCCKI-Z2 (I). Z1 : optionally substituted amino group with at least one additional Cys; Z2 : peptide residue of up to 20 amino acids having at least two further adjacent Cys residues, or carboxy or a carboxy derivatives, with Z1 and Z2 same or different. An independent claim is also included for a pharmaceutical composition containing (I) as active ingredient. ACTIVITY : Antibiotic; antibacterial; antifungal; antitumor. Typically the preferred compound with Z1 = amino and Z2 = carboxy, has minimum inhibitory concentration 1-10 Microg/ml against various pathogens (no more details). MECHANISM OF ACTION : None given in the source material.

Description

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein neues β-Defensin, das hBD-3, gemäß Anspruch 1, Arzneimittel enthaltend das erfindungsgemäße β-Defensin sowie Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen β-Defensins.The present invention relates to a novel β-defensin, the hBD-3, according to claim 1, medicament containing the β-defensin according to the invention and use of the β-defensin according to the invention.

Defensine sind Polypeptide mit antibiotischer Wirkung. Aufgrund der zunehmenden Antibiotikaresistenz, insbesondere von pathogenen Mikroorganismen, ist es dringend erforderlich, das Arsenal der antibiotisch wirksamen Substanzen zu ergänzen, um diese Mikroorganismen erfolgreich zu bekämpfen. Defensine werden in Säugern in verschiedenen Geweben und Organen exprimiert.Defensins are polypeptides with an antibiotic effect. Due to the increasing resistance to antibiotics, especially pathogenic ones Microorganisms, it is imperative to keep the arsenal of antibiotic effective substances to supplement these microorganisms successfully fight. Defensins are found in mammals in various tissues and organs expressed.

Das der Erfindung zu Grunde liegende technische Problem bestand darin, weitere humane wirksame Defensine als körpereigene Abwehrstoffe (z. B. als antimokrobielle oder antitumorale Substanz) zur Verfügung zu stellen, die unter anderem als Arzneimittel beim Menschen eingesetzt werden können.The technical problem on which the invention is based consisted of further effective human defensins as the body's own antibodies (e.g. as antimocrobial or antitumor substance) to be made available under other than medicines can be used in humans.

Erfindungsgemäß gelöst wird das angesprochene technische Problem durch das β-Defenin der Formel
Z1-CLHLQLLALKCCKI-Z2
wobei
Z1 gleich Z2 oder verschieden sind,
Z1 einen substituierten oder unsubstituierten Aminorest mit mindestens einem weiteren Cys bedeutet,
Z2 ein Peptidrest von bis zu 20 Aminosäuren ist und mindestens zwei weitere unmittelbar benachbarte Cys oder eine Carboxylgruppe oder eine derivatisierte Caboxylgruppe bedeutet.
According to the invention, the technical problem addressed is solved by the β-defenin of the formula
Z 1 -CLHLQLLALKCCKI-Z 2
in which
Z 1 are the same as Z 2 or are different,
Z 1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted amino radical with at least one further Cys,
Z 2 is a peptide residue of up to 20 amino acids and means at least two further immediately adjacent Cys or a carboxyl group or a derivatized caboxyl group.

Fig. 1 zeigt einige Aminosäuresequenzen von den bekannten humanen α- Defensinen hD-1 und hD-6, sowie den β-Defensinen hBD-1 und hBD-2. Das erfindungsgemäß besonders bevorzugte Defensin ist hBD-3 (Seq ID. No 1). Fig. 1 shows some amino acid sequences of the known human defensins α- HD-1 and HD-6, as well as the β-defensins hBD-1 and hBD-2. The defensin which is particularly preferred according to the invention is hBD-3 (Seq ID. No 1).

Fig. 2 zeigt die dazugehörige cDNA Sequenz (Seq ID. No 2) des erfindungsgemäßen β-Defensins hBD3. Fig. 2 shows the corresponding cDNA sequence (SEQ ID. No 2) of the inventive β-defensin hBD3.

Die minimale Hemmkonzentration mit minimum inhibitory concentration hBD-3 gegenüber verschiedenen Mikroorganismen wurde analysiert, dabei sind Werte von 1-10 µg/ml bei verschiedenen Keimen beobachtet worden.The minimum inhibitory concentration with minimum inhibitory concentration hBD-3 against various microorganisms was analyzed, values of 1-10 µg / ml has been observed with various germs.

Das erfindungsgemäße Arzneimittel enthält also das überraschenderweise in der Leber gefundene hBD-3 als wirksamen Bestandteil, als erfindungsgemäßes β- Defensin. Dem Fachmann sind gegebenenfalls zur Formulierung der β-Defensine als Arzneimittel einsetzbare Hilfs- und Trägerstoffe geläufig. Die β-Defensine können in Mengen eingesetzt werden, die durch ihre therapeutische Breite definiert sind. Typischerweise werden sie in Mengen von 0,1 µg bis 100 mg eingesetzt.The medicinal product according to the invention surprisingly contains that in the HBD-3 found in the liver as an effective component, as a β- Defensin. The person skilled in the art may be required to formulate the β-defensins Auxiliaries and carriers that can be used as medicinal products are common. The β-defensins can be used in amounts defined by their therapeutic breadth are. They are typically used in amounts of 0.1 µg to 100 mg.

Die Formulierungen des erfindungsgemäßen β-Defensin als Lösung für intravenöse, intramuskuläre, subkultane und topische Applikationen sind bevorzugt. Das erfindungsgemäße β-Defensin insbesondere kann als antibiotisch und antitumoral wirksame Substanz eingesetzt werden. Das antibiotische Spektrum des erfindungsgemäßen β-Defensins ist weit und reich, zum Beispiel zur Behandlung von Infektionen durch multiresistente Erreger wie Streptokokkus, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Escherichia, Staphylokokkus und Candida. The formulations of the β-defensin according to the invention as a solution for are intravenous, intramuscular, subcultaneous and topical applications prefers. The β-defensin according to the invention in particular can be considered antibiotic and antitumor active substance can be used. The antibiotic spectrum of the β-defensin according to the invention is wide and rich, for example for Treatment of infections by multi-resistant pathogens such as streptococcus, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Escherichia, Staphylococcus and Candida.
