AI Technical Summary
Existing gemcitabine drugs are difficult to effectively activate histone deacetylase (HDAC) and cathepsin L (CTSL) when treating tumors, resulting in poor anti-tumor effects.
A gemcitabine prodrug that is dually activated by HDAC and CTSL is designed to bind gemcitabine to activator through a specific synthetic route to form a compound with anti-tumor activity. The specific steps include the use of Boc-Lys(Ac)-OH, 4-A morphine, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and EDCI react in DMF solution, then remove the BOC group in CF3COOH, and finally neutralize to neutralization by saturated sodium bicarbonate, and lyophilized to obtain a double activated gemcitabine prodrug. .
The double-activated gemcitabine prodrug showed significant anti-tumor activity on tumor cells with high expression of HDAC and CTSL, and the preparation process was shorter than that of existing nucleotide drugs, suitable for industrial production, and had good application prospects.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nucleoside drugs. Specifically, the present invention relates to a gemcitabine prodrug, a preparation method thereof and an in vitro anti-tumor activity thereof, including the application of the gemcitabine prodrug in the anti-tumor field. The compound and the pharmaceutical composition thereof of the present invention are suitable for treating tumor diseases such as lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. Background Art
[0002] The statements herein merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Gemcitabine (2′, 2′-difluoro-2′-deoxycytidine, dFdC) is a nucleoside analogue with the structural formula shown below. It is clinically used to treat a variety of cancers including pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, etc.
[0004]
[0005] Gemcitabine enters cells through nucleoside transporters and is subsequently activated by phosphorylation by deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) to generate its 5′-monophosphate (dFdCMP), which is then phosphorylated by intracellular kinases to diphosphate (dFdCDP) and triphosphate (dFdCTP). dFdCTP competitively incorporates into DNA chains, causing chain termination, thereby inhibiting DNA synthesis; in addition, dFdCDP and dFdCTP reduce the amount of dCTP generated by inhibiting ribonucleic acid reductase, ultimately causing cell apoptosis. Gemcitabine is rapidly deaminated and converted into inactive 2′,2′-difluorouracil (dFdU) under the action of cytidine deaminase (CDA). Therefore, further modification of the amino group of gemcitabine is of great significance for improving the drug's selectivity for tumor cells, reducing toxicity, and improving bioavailability. Summary of the invention
[0006] Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are key enzymes involved in epigenetic regulation of histones and non-histone proteins. It has been well demonstrated in cancer biology that changes in HDACs expression may play a crucial role in tumor development. At the same time, cathepsin L (CTSL) also plays a key role in multiple stages of tumor progression and metastasis, and upregulation of CTSL is also considered a hallmark of metastatic cancer. Therefore, based on the increased expression of HDAC and CTSL in various tumor cells, gemcitabine prodrugs were designed, which were delivered to tumor cells and selectively released gemcitabine to exert anti-tumor effects.
[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a HDAC and CTSL dual-activated gemcitabine prodrug and its preparation method and application. This series of prodrugs has anti-tumor activity.
[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:
[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a HDAC and CTSL dual-activated gemcitabine prodrug, the structural formula of which is:

[0016]
[0017] In some embodiments, Boc-Lys(Ac)-OH, 4-methylmorpholine, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and EDCI are added to a DMF solution of gemcitabine to obtain a mixed solution, which is stirred at 50-60° C. for 15-20 h in a nitrogen atmosphere, and then extracted, washed and chromatographed to obtain compounds C1 and C6;

[0020] Preferably, the extraction agent used in the extraction is ethyl acetate.
[0021] Preferably, the washing is to wash the organic layer with a sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and a sodium chloride aqueous solution.
[0022] Preferably, compound C1 is dissolved in CF3COOH and diluted with dichloromethane (DCM), the concentration of C1 is 0.2-0.5 mol / L, the concentration of CF3COOH is 0.6-1.2 mol / L, stirred at 15-30°C for 1.5-2.5h, saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution is slowly added dropwise until the solution is neutral, directly freeze-dried, and compounds C2 and C7 are obtained after chromatography. CF3COOH is used to remove the BOC group. It has been found through experiments that the use of saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution as a neutralizing agent can remove excess acid, facilitate freeze-drying, and facilitate the stability of compounds C2 and C7.
[0023] Further preferably, a carboxylic acid containing different substituents is dissolved in DMF, 4-methylmorpholine, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and EDCI are added thereto, and after stirring and mixing, compound C2 is added thereto to obtain a mixed solution, and stirring is continued for 1.5-2.5 hours; in the mixed solution, the concentration of the carboxylic acid containing different substituents is 0.08-0.15 mol / L, the concentration of 4-methylmorpholine is 0.08-0.15 mol / L; the concentration of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole is 0.08-0.15 mol / L; the concentration of EDCI is 0.08-0.15 mol / L; the concentration of C2 is 0.08-0.15 mol / L;
[0024] After the reaction is completed, extraction, washing, drying and column chromatography are performed to obtain compound C3, C4, C5, C8, C9 or C10.

In addition, in addition to the gemcitabine prodrug in the first aspect, other ingredients with anti-tumor effects may also be included.

The experimental results showed that the multiple compounds had obvious anti-tumor activity against the HDAC and CTSL high-expressing strain A549, and generally lost anti-tumor activity against the HDAC and CTSL low-expressing strain Caco-2, showing good selectivity.

[0068] In vitro antitumor activity test of the compounds against HDAC and CTSL high-expressing tumor cell line A549 and low-expressing tumor cell line Caco-2
[0069] A549 cells were grown at 5 × 10 3 Caco-2 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 9×10 cells per well in DMEM 10% FBS medium. 3The cells were inoculated in a 96-well plate at a density of 100 cells / mL in DMEM 20% FBS medium. After 24 hours of growth, the culture medium was removed and the cells were treated with different concentrations of compounds, with gemcitabine as the control drug, and cultured in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 72 hours. The culture medium containing 10% CCK8 was added and placed in the incubator for 0.5-2 hours. The absorbance value was measured at 450nm using an enzyme reader. The half effective concentration (EC50) of each compound was calculated using the software. 50 ), and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0070] Table 2: In vitro anti-tumor activity test results
[0071]
[0072] Conclusion: From the above results, it can be seen that compounds C1, C2, C3, C6, and C7 all showed significant antitumor activity against HDAC and CTSL high-expressing strain A549 cells, and the antitumor activity was better than that of the positive control drug gemcitabine. In HDAC and CTSL low-expressing strains, the compounds showed poor antitumor cell activity. This shows that the compounds have enhanced antitumor activity and selectivity. Therefore, the example compounds can be used as preparations for antitumor drugs.
