Heroin overdose and addiction remain significant health and economic burdens in the world today costing billions of dollars annually. Moreover, only limited pharmacotherapeutic options are available for treatment of heroin addiction. In our efforts to combat the public health threat posed by heroin addiction, we have developed vaccines against heroin. To expand upon our existing heroin-vaccine arsenal, we synthesized new aryl and alkyl sulfonate ester haptens; namely aryl-mono-sulfonate (HMsAc) and Aryl/alkyl-di-sulfonate (H(Ds)2) as carboxyl-isosteres of heroin then compared them to our model heroin-hapten (HAc) through vaccination studies. Heroin haptens were conjugated to the carrier protein CRM197and the resulting CRM-immunoconjugates were used to vaccinate Swiss Webster mice following an established immunization protocol. Binding studies revealed that the highest affinity anti-heroin antibodies were generated by the HMsAcvaccine followed by the HAcand H(Ds)2vaccines, respectively (HMsAc> HAc≫HDs2). However, neither the HMsAcnor H(Ds)2vaccines were able to generate high affinity antibodies to the psychoactive metabolite 6-acetyl morphine (6-AM), in comparison to the HAcvaccine. Blood brain bio-distribution studies supported these binding results with vaccine efficiency following the trend HAc> HMsAc≫ H(Ds)2The work described herein provides insight into the use of hapten-isosteric replacement in vaccine drug design.
