Summary for Patent: 9,617,302
Title:Peptide compounds for inhibition of platelet aggregation
Abstract: The invention relates to a peptide compound and its pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting platelet aggregation and preventing/treating thrombogenic diseases. The invention develops pentapeptides and hexapeptides derived from snake venom C-type lectin-like proteins (CLPs) fragments, which can inhibit platelet aggregation and have antithrombotic activity without hemorrhagic tendency. Accordingly, they can be used as potential agents for the prevention and therapy of thrombogenic diseases.

Assignee: NATIONAL TAIWAN UNIVERSITY (Taipei, TW)
Application Number:14/126,808
Patent Claims:1. A peptide compound consisting of the amino acid sequence selected from the group of Arg-Lys-Trp-Phe-Val-Ala (SEQ ID NO: 13), Arg-Lys-Trp-Val-Asn-Tyr (SEQ ID NO: 14), Cys-Lys-Trp-Met-Asn-Val (SEQ ID NO: 15), Cys-Lys-Trp-Ala-Asn-Val (SEQ ID NO: 18), Cys-dLys-Trp-Met-dAsn-Val (SEQ ID NO: 20), Arg-Thr-Trp-Glu-Asn-Val (SEQ ID NO: 21), Asn-Gln-Trp-Leu-Ser-Ala (SEQ ID NO: 22), Thr-Glu-Trp-Leu-Asn-Met (SEQ ID NO: 23) and Asn-Gln-Trp-Leu-Ser-Arg (SEQ ID NO: 24).

2. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising a peptide compound of claim 1, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier.

3. The compositions of claim 2, which further comprises a second active agent.

4. The compositions of claim 2, wherein the second active agent is a Platelet aggregation inhibitor.

5. The composition of claim 2, wherein the second active agent is heparin, aspirin, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, abciximab, tirofiban, eptifibatide, dipyrimamole or cilostazol or a mixture thereof.

6. The composition of claim 2, which can be administered systemically or topically.

7. The composition of claim 2, which can be used by intravenous, intramuscular, intrastemal injection, intravitreal injection, infusion, inhalation, transdermal administration, oral administration, rectal administration and intra-operative instillation.

8. A method for inhibiting platelet aggregation, comprising administering an effective amount of a peptide compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 to a subject in need of such treatment.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the platelet aggregation is collagen-induced aggregation.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the platelet aggregation is caused by interacting with GPVI.

11. A method for treating thrombogenic diseases, comprising administering an effective amount of a peptide compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 to a subject in need of such treatment.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the thrombogenic disease is thrombosis, venous thrombosis, established peripheral arterial disease, thrombophlebitis, arterial embolism, coronary and cerebral arterial thrombosis, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, stroke, cerebral embolism, renal embolism, pulmonary embolism and other embolism- or thrombosis-related afflictions produced by but not limited to procedural or surgical interventions.

13. The method of claim 11, which is for the prevention treatment of embolism or thrombosis during percutaneous coronary interventions, placement of coronary stents, coronary angioplasty, coronary endarectomy, carotid endarectomy, or due to platelet-aggregation complications related to atherosclerosis, inflammation, exposure of blood to artificial devices, drug effects.

14. A method for treating sepsis, tumor metastasis or inflammatory arthritis, comprising administering an effective amount of a peptide compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 to a subject in need of such treatment.
