Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry technology, specifically relating to a compound and its composition that can bind to cell division cycle protein 20 (Cdc20), and also to a protein degrading agent based on a compound that can bind to cell division cycle protein 20 (Cdc20) as an E3 ubiquitin ligand ligand and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Cancer has become one of the leading causes of death worldwide, seriously threatening human health. Currently, commonly used cancer treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy, all of which have made significant progress, greatly improving the survival of cancer patients. With the development of molecular biology and related technologies, scientists have gained a deeper understanding of the occurrence, development, and related targets of tumors. The view that "malignant tumors are a type of cell cycle disease" has also gained widespread acceptance. Therefore, anti-tumor drugs targeting cell cycle regulation, designed based on this view, have become a research hotspot in the field of oncology.

[0003] The cell cycle is a fundamental process of cellular life, divided into: G1 phase (pre-DNA synthesis), S phase (DNA synthesis phase), G2 phase (post-DNA synthesis phase), and M phase (mitosis phase). Precise regulation of the cell cycle is essential for ensuring genomic stability and normal cellular function, involving a complex information network system. Cell cycle regulation mechanisms are closely related to tumorigenesis; many cell cycle regulatory proteins are altered and inactivated during tumorigenesis, leading to genomic instability, typically manifested as gene mutations, gene deletions, gene rearrangements and translocations, as well as centrosome amplification and chromosomal aberrations. Genomic instability results in uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. Based on this theory, many drugs have been developed to inhibit different stages of the cell cycle for tumor treatment.

[0004] During cell division, cells continuously produce new proteins and degrade old ones. Protein degradation typically occurs via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. This pathway involves three enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2), and ubiquitin-ligating enzyme (E3). Through this reaction, the protein binds to a polyubiquitin chain and is then degraded via the 26S proteasome. The SCF complex (Skp1 / Cullin / F-box protein) and the Anaphase promoting complex / cyclosome (APC / C) are two E3 ubiquitin ligases that play key roles in cell cycle regulation. APC / C is the largest E3 ubiquitin ligase, composed of at least 14 subunits and one co-activator. Upon activation by cyclin 20 (Cdc20) or Cdc20 homologue 1 (Cdh1), it forms two distinct E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, APC. Cdc20 or APC Cdh1 APC Cdc20 APC / C regulates cell cycle progression by disrupting key cell cycle regulators during the transition from metaphase to anaphase, with APCCdh1 playing a crucial role in the M and G1 phases. APC / C participates in the degradation of various proteins, including cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases, via the ubiquitin-proteasome system, promoting cell cycle progression. Cdc20 is a positive regulator of APC / C, directly binding to substrates and presenting them to APC / C, thereby enabling substrate degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

[0005] Furthermore, Cdc20 is also a crucial component of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). As an important molecular monitoring mechanism within the cell cycle checkpoints, the SAC is complex, primarily composed of serine / threonine protein kinases (budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles-1, BUB1), mitotic arrest deficient-2 (MAD2), and Cdc20. During mitosis, the SAC precisely regulates the dynamic balance between kinetic chordates and microtubules, ensuring that after chromosome replication, genetic material is stably and accurately distributed to each daughter cell. The SAC effectively prolongs mitosis, promoting correct chromosome attachment to the spindle microtubules. Cdc20, as a key gene regulating cell cycle progression, can activate the cell cycle APC / C during mitosis, thereby inducing chromosome separation and entering the later stages of mitosis. When chromosome segregation is abnormal, SAC is activated. The MAD2-MAD1 complex in the cytoplasm interacts with free O-MAD2, transforming into C-MAD2, which then binds to Cdc20. This C-MAD2 then forms the HCC complex with BubR1 / MAD3-BUB3, which effectively inhibits APC. Cdc20 The activity of the chromosomes prevents them from separating further. Only after all chromosomes are properly aligned can the cell continue to divide and form daughter cells.

[0006] The human Cdc20 gene (cell division cycle 20homolog, also known as p55CDC) is located in the human chromosome 1p34.1 region, and its genome sequence contains 11 exons and 10 introns. The human Cdc20 protein consists of 499 amino acid residues and contains 7 repeat sequences of WD40. Studies have shown that Cdc20 is undetectable in the G1 phase of mitosis, begins to appear and accumulate in late S phase, reaches its peak in G2 / M phase, and remains active until late mitosis. Cdh1 It ubiquitinates and degrades Cdc20. In recent years, as the functions of Cdc20 in ubiquitination and degradation of proteins and its interaction with spindle assembly checkpoints have been gradually revealed, its role in cell cycle and cell proliferation has become increasingly important. Therefore, research on Cdc20 has received more and more attention and in-depth study.

[0007] With the continuous development and progress of clinical molecular biology, the high expression of cyclin 20 (Cdc20) in various malignant tumors has been identified as an important biological factor promoting tumorigenesis and development. Studies have reported that Cdc20 expression in various tumor tissues, including breast cancer, colon cancer, gastric cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, rectal cancer, and liver cancer, is significantly higher than in normal tissues; moreover, its expression level is closely related to the pathological severity and prognosis of tumor patients, with higher Cdc20 expression levels associated with greater risk. Currently, many substrates of Cdc20 have been reported, some of which are proteins directly involved in regulating cell cycle processes, such as securin, cyclin A, cyclin B, and transcription factor E2F1. Cdc20 Ubiquitination of cell cycle proteins such as securin and cyclin B degrades them, disrupting normal cell division. Therefore, designing small molecule inhibitors targeting Cdc20 to disrupt the interaction between Cdc20 and its substrate may achieve anti-tumor effects.

[0008] The development of novel target protein chimeric degradation molecules (PROTACs) is a field of great interest in current drug development. PROTACs consist of three parts: a target protein ligand, an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand, and a linker chain. They can recognize the target protein and the E3 ubiquitin ligase through the target protein ligand and the E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand, respectively, leading to polyubiquitination of the target protein, thereby enabling the target protein to be recognized and cloned by the proteasome. Currently, PROTACs mainly use small molecule E3 ubiquitin ligase ligands. These novel PROTACs can rapidly diffuse into cells, have higher affinity for the target protein, and stronger metabolic stability (Meng Yifan et al., Research progress of small molecule PROTACS that induce protein degradation; Guangdong Chemical Industry; 2018, 45(05), 125-126). PROTACs, as bifunctional molecules, consist of a small compound that can bind to the target protein (POI), with a linker group introduced at the appropriate position, and then linked to a small molecule compound that can bind to E3 ubiquitinase. The resulting small molecule probe can bind to both the target protein and E3 ubiquitinase simultaneously, thereby ubiquitinizing the protein. The multiubiquitinated protein can be recognized and degraded by the proteasome. More than 600 E3 ubiquitinases have been discovered, but currently, only a limited number such as MDM2, clAP-1, CRBN, and VHL are most commonly used in the design of PROTACs (Xu Pengfei et al., Research progress of small molecule PROTACs that induce protein degradation, Chinese Journal of New Drugs [J]. 2017, 26(22)). The key advantage of this protein degradation technology compared to small molecule ubiquitin ligase inhibitors is that PROTACS exhibits specific sensitivity to drug resistance targets. Unlike simple small molecule inhibitors, PROTACs affect enzyme activity and non-enzyme function by clearing target proteins (Zou Y, Ma D, Wang Y. The PROTAC technology in drug development[J]. Cell Biochem Funct, 2019, 37(1): 21-30). After entering the cell, the POI ligand in the structure of PROTAC molecules can specifically bind to the corresponding target protein, while the other end can recruit E3 ligase to form a POI-PROTAC-E3 ligase ternary complex, in which E3 ligase can mediate ubiquitination of POI by ubiquitin-binding enzyme E2. After the ternary complex dissociates, the ubiquitin-tagged POI is recognized and degraded by the proteasome, thereby selectively reducing the level of the target protein. Furthermore, PROTACs can be recycled multiple times in the cell and can be repeatedly used in vivo, achieving good therapeutic effects at low doses.

[0009] APC Cdc20The complex is the largest E3 ubiquitin ligase in vivo, and Cdc20 is highly expressed in various tumor tissues. Therefore, APC... Cdc20 It has the potential to be used as a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase for the development of protein degrading agents. Currently, only two small-molecule inhibitors of CDc20 have been reported: TAME and Apcin. TAME is a non-specific inhibitor; it works by disrupting the binding of Cdc20 to APC / C, and it can also disrupt the binding of Cdh1 to APC / C. Apcin is currently the only reported Cdc20-specific inhibitor, which works by specifically inhibiting the binding of the substrate to Cdc20. However, its binding affinity to Cdc20 is low (in the hundreds of micromoles), and its antitumor activity is very weak. Therefore, developing highly active, specific Cdc20 ligands for antitumor activity and for the development of protein degrading agents are of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0233] The present invention will be described below through specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0234] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods.

[0235] Unless otherwise specified, all materials and reagents used in the following examples are commercially available.

[0236] The following lists the definitions of various terms used in this application. These definitions apply to the terminology used throughout this specification and claims, unless otherwise limited individually or as part of a larger group in particular cases.

[0237] The term “stereoisomer” as used in this article refers to compounds that have the same chemical composition but different spatial arrangements of atoms or groups, including “diastereomers” and “enantiomers”.

[0238] The term "diastereomer" as used herein refers to a stereoisomer having two or more chiral centers and whose molecules are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers possess different physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, spectral characteristics, and reactivity. In the presence of resolving agents or chromatography, mixtures of diastereomers can be separated using high-resolution analytical steps such as electrophoresis and crystallization, in the presence of chiral HPLC columns.

[0239] The term "enantiomer" as used herein refers to two stereoisomers of a compound that do not overlap as mirror images of each other. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is called a racemic mixture or racemate, which can occur during chemical reactions or processes where stereoselectivity or stereoorientation has ceased.

[0240] The term "alkyl" as used herein includes both branched and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups and has a specified number of carbon atoms, generally from 1 to 12 carbon atoms. For example, the term C1-C6 alkyl as used herein refers to an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. When C0-Cn alkyl is used in conjunction with another group herein, taking (phenyl)C0-C4 alkyl as an example, the specified group is where the phenyl group is directly bonded by a single covalent bond (C0) or linked by an alkyl chain having a specified number of carbon atoms (in this case, from 1 to 4 carbon atoms). Examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to: methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, 3-methylbutyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, and sec-pentyl.

[0241] The term "alkoxy" as used herein refers to a carbon atom having a specified number of carbon atoms connected by oxygen bridges, such as an "alkyl" atom as defined herein. Examples of alkoxy groups include, but are not limited to, methoxy, ethoxy, 3-hexyloxy, and 3-methylpentoxy.

[0242] The term "heterocyclic alkyl" as used herein refers to a 5- to 8-membered saturated ring, a partially unsaturated ring, or an aromatic ring containing 1 to 4 heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S, with the remaining ring atom being carbon; or a 7- to 11-membered saturated ring, a partially unsaturated ring, or an aromatic heterocyclic system and a 10- to 15-membered tricyclic system containing at least one heteroatom selected from N, O, and S in a polycyclic system, and each ring in the polycyclic system containing at most about 4 heteroatoms independently selected from N, O, and S. Unless otherwise specified, the heterocycle may be attached to a group that substitutes at any heteroatom and carbon atom to produce a stable structure. When specified, the heterocycles described herein may be substituted at a carbon or nitrogen atom, provided that the resulting compound is stable. The nitrogen atom in the heterocycle may optionally be quaternized. Preferably, the total number of heteroatoms in the heterocyclic group is not greater than 4, and preferably the total number of S and O atoms in the heterocyclic group is not greater than 2, more preferably not greater than 1. Examples of heterocyclic groups include: pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, pyranyl, etc.

[0243] The term "aryl" or "heteroaryl" as used herein refers to a stable 5- or 6-membered monocyclic or polycyclic ring comprising 1 to 4, or preferably 1 to 3, heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S, with the remaining ring atom being carbon. When the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl exceeds 1, these heteroatoms are not adjacent to each other. Preferably, the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl is not greater than 2. Particularly preferred is that the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl is not greater than 1. The nitrogen atom in the heterocycle may optionally be quaternized. When specified, these heteroaryls may also be substituted with carbon or non-carbon atoms or groups. Such substitution may include fusion with a 5- to 7-membered saturated cyclic group optionally comprising 1 or 2 heteroatoms independently selected from N, O, and S, thereby forming, for example, [1,3]dioxazolo[4,5-c]pyridyl. Examples of heteroaryl groups include, but are not limited to: pyridyl, indolyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, furanyl, phenylthio, thiazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, isoxazolyl, quinolinyl, pyrroleyl, pyrazolyl, benzo[b]phenylthio, isoquinolinyl, quinazolinyl, quinoxalinyl, thiophene, isoindolyl, and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinoline.

[0244] The terms “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” and “salt of a compound” used herein are interchangeable and both refer to derivatives of the disclosed compound, wherein the parent compound is prepared by the addition of a non-toxic acid or its base to form a salt. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, non-toxic acid addition salts: salts formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid, or with organic acids such as acetic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid.
