Abstact

Proprotein convertase subtilisin-like/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a key regulator of plasma LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and a clinically validated target for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease. In this paper, we describe a series of novel cyclic peptides derived from an mRNA display screen which inhibit the protein-protein interaction between PCSK9 and LDLR. Using a structure-based drug design approach, we were able to modify our original screening lead 2 to optimize the potency and metabolic stability and minimize the molecular weight to provide novel bicyclic next-generation PCSK9 inhibitor peptides such as 78. These next-generation peptides serve as a critical foundation for continued exploration of potential oral, once-a-day PCSK9 therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
