DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] Mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2) and mouse double minute 4 homolog (MDM4) have shown promise as therapeutic targets for the treatment of various cancers. MDM2 and MDM4 are negative regulators of the p53 tumor suppressor gene via both E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and inhibition of p53 transcriptional activation. Further, because disruption of the protein-protein interaction between p53 and MDM2 or MDM4 can result in the death of senescent cells, the development of MDM2 and MDM4 inhibitors presents an opportunity for the treatment of diseases or disorders associated with the proliferation of senescent cells. A wide variety of diseases are associated with senescence, including cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory diseases, auto-immune diseases, metabolic diseases, pulmonary diseases, ophthalmic diseases, otic diseases, renal diseases, and dermatological diseases. Specific examples include type 2 diabetes, Huntington’s disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and hyperlipidemia.

[0045] Cyclic peptides have emerged as potentially useful MDM2 and/or MDM4 inhibitors. Small molecule inhibitors of the MDM2/p53 protein-protein interaction and/or the MDM4/p53 protein-protein interaction are attractive as potential therapeutics for cancer. Beta hairpin regions are frequently found in nature as a means to display residues essential to protein-protein recognition. These beta hairpin regions of natural proteins can be simulated by carefully designed cyclic peptides, making cyclic peptides potentially useful as inhibitors of difficult to access targets, such as MDM2 and MDM4.

[0046] Despite their promise as therapeutic agents, the utility of cyclic peptides can be limited by poor pharmacokinetic properties, particularly poor cellular permeability, low solubility, and high clearance. There is a need for MDM2 inhibitors and MDM2/MDM4 dual inhibitors with improved pharmacokinetic properties such as improved cellular permeability for treating disease.

[0047] The present disclosure describes cyclic peptides which overcome the pharmacokinetic challenges of poor solubility and poor cell permeability. Specifically, the present disclosure provides cyclic peptides which have been optimized to enhance cell permeability and solubility. [0048] Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, are cyclic peptides useful as MDM2 inhibitors. In certain embodiments, the cyclic peptides disclosed herein are useful as MDM2/MDM4 dual inhibitors. In certain embodiments, cyclic peptides comprise nine to eleven amino acids independently selected from amino acid residues that are not charged at physiological pH, at least one amino acid residue with a side chain comprising a moiety selected from an ether, an ester, a carbonate, an amide, a carbamate, and a urea, and a first and a second beta hairpin region. In certain embodiments, cyclic peptides are further characterized by one of the following: at least four amino acid residues comprising rings independently selected from optionally substituted monocyclic carbocycle and optionally substituted monocyclic heterocycle, wherein at least one of the monocyclic carbocycle and monocyclic heterocycle are substituted; at least four amino acid residues with side chains selected from -alkylene-(monocyclic carbocycle) and -alkylene-(monocyclic heterocycle), wherein the monocyclic carbocycle and monocyclic heterocycle are independently optionally substituted; and at least three amino acid residues comprising rings independently selected from optionally substituted phenyl and optionally substituted monocyclic heteroaryl.

[0049] In certain embodiments, the cyclic peptides disclosed herein display high cellular permeability and potent inhibition of MDM2 in both biochemical and cellular assays. In certain embodiments, the cyclic peptides disclosed herein display high cellular permeability and potent inhibition of MDM2 and MDM4 in both biochemical and cellular assays. In certain embodiments, the cyclic peptides disclosed herein hold therapeutic potential for the treatment of cancer.

Definitions

[0050] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. [0051] As used herein, the singular form “a”, “an” and “the” includes plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. [0052] As used herein, the abbreviations for amino acids are conventional and can be as follows: alanine (A, Ala); arginine (R, Arg); asparagine (N, Asn); aspartic acid (D, Asp); cysteine (C, Cys); glutamic acid (E, Glu); glutamine (Q, Gin); glycine (G, Gly); histidine (H, His); isoleucine (I, lie); leucine (L, Leu); lysine (K, Lys); methionine (M, Met); phenylalanine (F, Phe); proline (P, Pro); serine (S, Ser); threonine (T, Thr); tryptophan (W, Trp); tyrosine (Y, Tyr); valine (V, Val). Other amino acids include citrulline (Cit); homocysteine (Hey); hydroxyproline (Hyp); ornithine (Om); and thyroxine (Thx). Examples of amino acids that are not charged at physiological pH include, but are not limited to, alanine, asparagine, cysteine, glutamine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine.

[0053] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a cyclic peptide comprising a certain number of amino acid residues is a cyclic peptide wherein the cyclic peptide’s backbone contains the recited number of amino acid residues. In other words, each of the amino acid residues is endocyclic. For example, for the purposes of this disclosure, the following would be considered a cyclic peptide comprising ten amino acid residues: considered a cyclic peptide comprising ten amino acid residues, not a cyclic peptide comprising

[0054] “Contiguous” amino acid residues are those endocyclic amino acids that are covalently bound in series without intervening endocyclic atoms. The following is an example of two contiguous proline residues wherein one is D and the other contrast, the following is an example of two proline residues that are not contiguous:

[0055] Where a number of contiguous amino acid residues separate a first and second beta hairpin region, e.g., at least three contiguous amino acids, the number refers to the number of residues starting from the C-terminus of the first beta hairpin region terminating at the N- terminus of the second beta hairpin region and/or the number of residues starting from the C- terminus of the second beta hairpin region terminating at the N-terminus of the first beta hairpin region. For example, the following illustrates an embodiment wherein the two beta hairpin regions are separated by three contiguous amino acid residues starting from the C-terminus of the first beta hairpin region terminating at the N-terminus of the second beta hairpin region and three contiguous amino acid residues starting from the C-terminus of the second beta hairpin region terminating at the N-terminus of the first beta hairpin region: illustrates an embodiment wherein the two beta hairpin regions are separated by three contiguous amino acid residues starting from the C-terminus of the first beta hairpin region terminating at the N-terminus of the second beta hairpin region and two contiguous amino acid residues starting from the C-terminus of the second beta hairpin region terminating at the N-terminus of the first beta hairpin region:

[0056] “Adjacent” residues are covalently bound to each other through an N- or C-terminus. Amino acid residues that are not adjacent to one another, have at least one amino acid or other atom separating the amino acid residues from the other on both the N-terminal and C-terminal sides. For example, for the following structure: , the valine residue is adjacent to the serine residue, however the valine is not adjacent to the cysteine residue and the serine residue is adjacent to both the valine and cysteine residue.

[0057] The term “Cx- _y ” when used in conjunction with a chemical moiety, such as alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl is meant to include groups that contain from x to y carbons in the chain. For example, the term “Ci- ₆ alkyl” refers to substituted or unsubstituted saturated hydrocarbon groups, including straight-chain alkyl and branched-chain alkyl groups that contain from 1 to 6 carbons. The term -Cx- _y alkylene- refers to a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene chain with from x to y carbons in the alkylene chain. For example -Ci- ₆ alkylene- may be selected from methylene, ethylene, propylene, butylene, pentylene, and hexylene, any one of which is optionally substituted.

[0058] “Alkyl” refers to substituted or unsubstituted saturated hydrocarbon groups, including straight-chain alkyl and branched-chain alkyl groups. An alkyl group may contain from one to twelve carbon atoms (e.g., Ci-12 alkyl), such as one to eight carbon atoms (Ci-8 alkyl) or one to six carbon atoms (Ci- ₆ alkyl). Exemplary alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, /er/-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, septyl, octyl, nonyl, and decyl. An alkyl group is attached to the rest of the molecule by a single bond. An alkyl group is optionally substituted by one or more substituents such as those substituents described herein. [0059] “Alkenyl” refers to substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon groups, including straight- chain or branched-chain alkenyl groups containing at least one double bond. An alkenyl group may contain from two to twelve carbon atoms (e.g., C2-12 alkenyl). Exemplary alkenyl groups include ethenyl (i.e., vinyl), prop-l-enyl, but-l-enyl, pent-l-enyl, penta-l,4-dienyl, and the like. An alkenyl group is optionally substituted by one or more substituents such as those substituents described herein.

[0060] “Alkynyl” refers to substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon groups, including straight-chain or branched-chain alkynyl groups containing at least one triple bond. An alkynyl group may contain from two to twelve carbon atoms (e.g., C2-12 alkynyl). Exemplary alkynyl groups include ethynyl, propynyl, butynyl, pentynyl, hexynyl, and the like.

Pharmaceutical Formulations

A cyclic peptide of the present disclosure is formulated in any suitable pharmaceutical formulation. A pharmaceutical formulation of the present disclosure typically contains an active ingredient (e.g., a cyclic peptide disclosed herein), and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers, including but not limited to: inert solid diluents and fillers, diluents, sterile aqueous solution and various organic solvents, permeation enhancers, solubilizers, and adjuvants. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical acceptable carriers or excipients are selected from water, alcohol, glycerol, chitosan, alginate, chondroitin, Vitamin E, mineral oil, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

Pharmaceutical formulations are provided in any suitable form, which is determined based on the route of administration. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein can be formulated in dosage form for administration to a subject. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for oral, intravenous, intraarterial, aerosol, parenteral, buccal, topical, transdermal, rectal, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraosseous, intranasal, intrapulmonary, transmucosal, inhalation, and/or intraperitoneal administration. In some embodiments, the dosage form is formulated for oral administration. For example, the pharmaceutical composition can be formulated in the form of a pill, a tablet, a capsule, an inhaler, a liquid suspension, a liquid emulsion, a gel, or a powder. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition can be formulated as a unit dosage in liquid, gel, semi-liquid, semi solid, or solid form.

The amount of each cyclic peptide administered will be dependent on the mammal being treated, the severity of the disorder or condition, the rate of administration, the disposition of the cyclic peptide and the discretion of the prescribing physician In some embodiments, an effective dosage is provided in pulsed dosing (i.e., administration of the compound in consecutive days, followed by consecutive days of rest from administration).

In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition for oral administration containing at least one cyclic peptide disclosed herein and a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for oral administration. The composition is in the form of a solid, liquid, gel, semi-liquid, or semi-solid. In some embodiments, the composition further comprises a second agent.

In some embodiments, this disclosure provides a solid pharmaceutical composition for oral administration containing: (i) a cyclic peptide disclosed herein; and (ii) a pharmaceutical excipient suitable for oral administration. In some embodiments, the composition further contains: (iii) a third agent or even a fourth agent. In some embodiments, each compound or agent is present in a therapeutically effective amount. In other embodiments, one or more compounds or agents is present in a sub-therapeutic amount, and the compounds or agents act synergistically to provide a therapeutically effective pharmaceutical composition.

Pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure suitable for oral administration can be presented as discrete dosage forms, such as hard or soft capsules, cachets, troches, lozenges, or tablets, or liquids or aerosol sprays each containing a predetermined amount of an active ingredient as a powder or in granules, a solution, or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, an oil-in water emulsion, or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion, or dispersible powders or granules, or syrups or elixirs. Such dosage forms can be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy, which typically include the step of bringing the active ingredient(s) into association with the carrier. In general, the composition are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient(s) with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired presentation. For example, a tablet can be prepared by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient(s) in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with an excipient such as, but not limited to, a binder, a lubricant, an inert diluent, and/or a surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets can be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered cyclic peptide moistened with an inert liquid diluent.

Also contemplated in the subject methods is the use of a sub- therapeutic amount of a cyclic peptide disclosed herein for treating an intended disease condition.

The amount of the cyclic peptide disclosed herein administered will vary depending upon the intended application {in vitro or in vivo ), or the subject and disease condition being treated, e.g., the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration and the like, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art.

In some embodiments, therapeutic efficacy is measured based on an effect of treating a proliferative disorder, such as cancer. In general, therapeutic efficacy of the methods and compositions disclosed herein, with regard to the treatment of a proliferative disorder (e.g. cancer, whether benign or malignant), may be measured by the degree to which the methods and compositions promote inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, the inhibition of tumor vascularization, the eradication of tumor cells, the reduction in the rate of growth of a tumor, and/or a reduction in the size of at least one tumor. Several parameters to be considered in the determination of therapeutic efficacy are discussed herein. The proper combination of parameters for a particular situation can be established by the clinician. The progress of the method disclosed herein in treating cancer (e.g., reducing tumor size or eradicating cancerous cells) can be ascertained using any suitable method, such as those methods currently used in the clinic to track tumor size and cancer progress. The primary efficacy parameter used to evaluate the treatment of cancer by the method and compositions disclosed herein preferably is a reduction in the size of a tumor. Tumor size can be figured using any suitable technique, such as measurement of dimensions, or estimation of tumor volume using available computer software, such as FreeFlight software developed at Wake Forest University that enables accurate estimation of tumor volume. Tumor size can be determined by tumor visualization using, for example, CT, ultrasound, SPECT, spiral CT, MRI, photographs, and the like. In embodiments where a tumor is surgically resected after completion of the therapeutic period, the presence of tumor tissue and tumor size can be determined by gross analysis of the tissue to be resected, and/or by pathological analysis of the resected tissue.

In some desirable embodiments, the growth of a tumor is stabilized (i.e., one or more tumors do not increase more than 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20% in size, and/or do not metastasize) as a result of the method and compositions disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a tumor is stabilized for at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or more weeks. In some embodiments, a tumor is stabilized for at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or more months. In some embodiments, a tumor is stabilized for at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more years. Preferably, the method disclosed herein reduces the size of a tumor at least about 5% (e.g., at least about 10%, 15%, 20%, or 25%). More preferably, tumor size is reduced at least about 30% (e.g., at least about 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, or 65%). Even more preferably, tumor size is reduced at least about 70% (e.g., at least about 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%). Most preferably, the tumor is completely eliminated, or reduced below a level of detection. In some embodiments, a subject remains tumor free (e.g. in remission) for at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or more weeks following treatment. In some embodiments, a subject remains tumor free for at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or more months following treatment. In some embodiments, a subject remains tumor free for at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

7, 8, 9, 10, or more years after treatment.

In some embodiments, the efficacy of the method disclosed herein in reducing tumor size can be determined by measuring the percentage of necrotic (i.e., dead) tissue of a surgically resected tumor following completion of the therapeutic period. In some further embodiments, a treatment is therapeutically effective if the necrosis percentage of the resected tissue is greater than about 20% (e.g., at least about 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100%), more preferably about 90% or greater (e.g., about 90%, 95%, or 100%). Most preferably, the necrosis percentage of the resected tissue is 100%, that is, no tumor tissue is present or detectable.

The efficacy of the method disclosed herein can be determined by a number of secondary parameters. Examples of secondary parameters include, but are not limited to, detection of new tumors, detection of tumor antigens or markers (e.g., CEA, PSA, or CA-125), biopsy, surgical downstaging (i.e., conversion of the surgical stage of a tumor from unresectable to resectable), PET scans, survival, disease progression-free survival, time to disease progression, quality of life assessments such as the Clinical Benefit Response Assessment, and the like, all of which can point to the overall progression (or regression) of cancer in a human. Biopsy is particularly useful in detecting the eradication of cancerous cells within a tissue. Radioimmunodetection (RAID) is used to locate and stage tumors using serum levels of markers (antigens) produced by and/or associated with tumors (“tumor markers” or “tumor-associated antigens”), and can be useful as a pre-treatment diagnostic predicate, a post-treatment diagnostic indicator of recurrence, and a post-treatment indicator of therapeutic efficacy. Examples of tumor markers or tumor-associated antigens that can be evaluated as indicators of therapeutic efficacy include, but are not limited to, carcinembryonic antigen (CEA), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), CA-125, CA19-9, ganglioside molecules (e.g., GM2, GD2, and GD3), MART-1, heat shock proteins (e.g., gp96), sialyl Tn (STn), tyrosinase, MUC-1, HER-2/neu, c-erb-B2, KSA, PSMA, p53,

RAS, EGF-R, VEGF, MAGE, and gplOO. Other tumor-associated antigens are known in the art. RAID technology in combination with endoscopic detection systems also can efficiently distinguish small tumors from surrounding tissue (see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,932,412).

In additional desirable embodiments, the treatment of cancer in a human patient in accordance with the method disclosed herein is evidenced by one or more of the following results: (a) the complete disappearance of a tumor (i.e., a complete response), (b) about a 25% to about a 50% reduction in the size of a tumor for at least four weeks after completion of the therapeutic period as compared to the size of the tumor before treatment, (c) at least about a 50% reduction in the size of a tumor for at least four weeks after completion of the therapeutic period as compared to the size of the tumor before the therapeutic period, and (d) at least a 2% decrease (e.g., about a 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% or 90% decrease) in a specific tumor- associated antigen level at about 4-12 weeks after completion of the therapeutic period as compared to the tumor-associated antigen level before the therapeutic period. While at least a 2% decrease in a tumor-associated antigen level is preferred, any decrease in the tumor- associated antigen level is evidence of treatment of a cancer in a patient by the method disclosed herein. For example, with respect to unresectable, locally advanced pancreatic cancer, treatment can be evidenced by at least a 10% decrease in the CA19-9 tumor-associated antigen level at 4- 12 weeks after completion of the therapeutic period as compared to the CA19-9 level before the therapeutic period. Similarly, with respect to locally advanced rectal cancer, treatment can be evidenced by at least a 10% decrease in the CEA tumor-associated antigen level at 4-12 weeks after completion of the therapeutic period as compared to the CEA level before the therapeutic period.

With respect to quality of life assessments, such as the Clinical Benefit Response Criteria, the therapeutic benefit of the treatment in accordance with this disclosure can be evidenced in terms of pain intensity, analgesic consumption, and/or the Karnofsky Performance Scale score. The treatment of cancer in a human patient alternatively, or in addition, is evidenced by (a) at least a 50% decrease (e.g., at least a 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% decrease) in pain intensity reported by a patient, such as for any consecutive four week period in the 12 weeks after completion of treatment, as compared to the pain intensity reported by the patient before treatment, (b) at least a 50% decrease (e.g., at least a 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% decrease) in analgesic consumption reported by a patient, such as for any consecutive four week period in the 12 weeks after completion of treatment as compared to the analgesic consumption reported by the patient before treatment, and/or (c) at least a 20 point increase (e.g., at least a 30 point, 50 point, 70 point, or 90 point increase) in the Karnofsky Performance Scale score reported by a patient, such as for any consecutive four week period in the 12 weeks after completion of the therapeutic period as compared to the Karnofsky Performance Scale score reported by the patient before the therapeutic period.

The treatment of a proliferative disorder (e.g. cancer, whether benign or malignant) in a human patient desirably is evidenced by one or more (in any combination) of the foregoing results, although alternative or additional results of the referenced tests and/or other tests can evidence treatment efficacy.

In some embodiments, tumor size is reduced as a result of the method disclosed herein preferably without significant adverse events in the subject. Adverse events are categorized or “graded” by the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), with Grade 0 representing minimal adverse side effects and Grade 4 representing the most severe adverse events. Desirably, the method disclosed herein is associated with minimal adverse events, e.g. Grade 0, Grade 1, or Grade 2 adverse events, as graded by the CTEP/NCI. However, as discussed herein, reduction of tumor size, although preferred, is not required in that the actual size of tumor may not shrink despite the eradication of tumor cells. Eradication of cancerous cells is sufficient to realize a therapeutic effect. Likewise, any reduction in tumor size is sufficient to realize a therapeutic effect.

Detection, monitoring and rating of various cancers in a human are further described in Cancer Facts and Figures 2001, American Cancer Society, New York, N.Y., and International Patent Application WO 01/24684. Accordingly, a clinician can use standard tests to determine the efficacy of the various embodiments of the method disclosed herein in treating cancer. However, in addition to tumor size and spread, the clinician also may consider quality of life and survival of the patient in evaluating efficacy of treatment.

In some embodiments, administration of a cyclic peptide disclosed herein provides improved therapeutic efficacy. Improved efficacy may be measured using any method known in the art, including but not limited to those described herein. In some embodiments, the improved therapeutic efficacy is an improvement of at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 100%, 110%, 120%, 150%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 600%, 700%, 1000% or more, using an appropriate measure (e.g. tumor size reduction, duration of tumor size stability, duration of time free from metastatic events, duration of disease-free survival). Improved efficacy may also be expressed as fold improvement, such as at least about 2-fold, 3- fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 6-fold, 7-fold, 8-fold, 9-fold, 10-fold, 20-fold, 30-fold, 40-fold, 50-fold, 60- fold, 70-fold, 80-fold, 90-fold, 100-fold, 1000-fold, 10000-fold or more, using an appropriate measure (e.g. tumor size reduction, duration of tumor size stability, duration of time free from metastatic events, duration of disease-free survival).

Measuring inhibition of biological effects of MDM2 and/or MDM4 can comprise performing an assay on a biological sample, such as a sample from a subject. Any of a variety of samples may be selected, depending on the assay. Examples of samples include, but are not limited to, blood samples (e.g. blood plasma or serum), exhaled breath condensate samples, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, sputum samples, urine samples, and tissue samples. A subject being treated with a cyclic peptide disclosed herein may be monitored to determine the effectiveness of treatment, and the treatment regimen may be adjusted based on the subject’s physiological response to treatment. For example, if inhibition of a biological effect of MDM2 and/or MDM4 inhibition is above or below a threshold, the dosing amount or frequency may be decreased or increased, respectively.

Cyclic Peptide Synthesis

Step 1: Loading of 2-Chlorotrityl Resin

Fmoc-Xaa (10 mmol) was dried in a vacuum desiccator over DrieRite ^® overnight. The dried amino acid was dissolved in dry DCM (50 mL) containing DIPEA (40 mmol) dried over molecular sieves. The reaction mixture was sonicated until Fmoc-Xaa was completely dissolved. 2-chlorotrityl resin (5 g) was added under a stream of N2, and the reaction mixture was shaken for 4 hours. The resin was treated with a solution of 1 :2: 17 MeOH/DIPEA/DMF (15 mL) and shaken (3 x 15 minutes). The resin was washed with DMF (3 x 15 mL) followed by DCM (3 x 15 mL). The extent of resin loading was calculated by UV quantification of Fmoc release following deprotection.

Step 2: Amino Acid Coupling Fmoc-Xaa (4 equivalents), DIPEA (6 equivalents), and HATU (3.8 equivalents) were added to the resin in DMF (2 mL) and the reaction mixture was shaken at room temperature for 1 hour. The resin was washed with DMF (3 x 3 mL) followed by DCM (3 x 3 mL).

Step 3: On-Resin Fmoc Deprotection

The resin was treated with a solution of 20% 4-methyl-piperidine in DMF (3 mL) and shaken at room temperature for 20 minutes. Alternatively, the resin was treated with a solution of 2% piperidine and 2% DBU in DMF (3 mL) and shaken at room temperature for 10 minutes, twice. The resin was washed with DMF (3 x 3 mL) followed by DCM (3 x 3 mL).

Step 4: Peptoid Coupling

A 2:1 solution of 1M bromoacetic acid/0.5M DIC in DMF was activated with shaking for 20 minutes at room temperature. The resulting precipitate was allowed to settle and the supernatant was collected and shaken with the deprotected resin for 20 minutes at room temperature. The resin was washed with DMF (3 x 3 mL) followed by DCM (3 x 3 mL). The resin was treated with treated with a 1M solution of amine in DMF and shaken for 1 hour at room temperature. Step 5: Peptide Cleavage

To cleave the completed linear peptide, the resin was treated with 5 resin volumes of 30% HFIP in DCM and shaken for 1 hour. The resin was washed with 5 resin volumes of DCM. The resin was treated with 5 resin volumes of 30% HFIP in DCM and shaken for 30 minutes.

Step 6: Cyclization with COMU

The dried linear peptide was dissolved in MeCN (2 mL) containing DIPEA (9 equivalents), and the resulting solution was added dropwise to a solution of 1:10 MeCN/DCM containing COMU (4 equivalents) to a final concentration of 1 mg crude peptide per mL. The reaction mixture was shaken at room temperature for 16 hours until complete cyclization was achieved as monitored by LCMS. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum.

Step 7: Purification of Peptides

By-products of COMU cyclization were removed via mass-directed purification on a Waters HPLC system equipped with an Xbridge BEH C18 OBD 130A 5 pm, 10x250 mm column eluting with H20/MeCN modified with 0.1% FA. Peptide purity was analyzed by HPLC-MS on a Waters HPLC system and Waters 3100 mass spectrometer equipped with a CORTECS T3 2.7 pm 4.6x50 over a gradient of H20/MeCN modified with 0.1% FA.
