Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceuticals and relates to a class of oleanolic acid derivatives and lapatinib conjugates, and their preparation methods and applications. Background Art

[0002] Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer. Clinically, breast cancer can be divided into three subtypes according to the hormone receptor status: luminal A and luminal B types, HER2-positive type, and triple-negative breast cancer. Among them, the proportion of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer is about 15% to 20%. At present, HER2 has become a suitable target for anti-breast cancer drug discovery and research. Although the application of trastuzumab has significantly improved the overall survival of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, about 30% of patients have drug resistance, resulting in ineffective treatment or tumor recurrence. Therefore, improving multi-drug resistance is very necessary for breast cancer treatment.

[0003] Pentacyclic triterpenoids (PTs) are a class of plant natural products composed of three terpene units, with anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral activities. The biological functions of pentacyclic triterpenoid compounds are very extensive, but their action intensity is weak and their bioavailability is low. Therefore, their clinical applications are very limited. To solve this problem, the structure of pentacyclic triterpenoids is modified, and pentacyclic triterpenoid conjugates synthesized by connecting with another modified molecule through an appropriate linker: such as oleanolic acid derivatives and rhodamine conjugates, betulinic acid and aromatic amine conjugates. The conjugates have better activity and selectivity than the parent pentacyclic triterpenoids, thereby being able to improve the anti-cancer activity of the compounds.

[0004] Currently, studies have confirmed that the combined use of oleanolic acid derivatives and the HER2 inhibitor trastuzumab can produce a synergistic effect, reverse the drug resistance of trastuzumab, and increase the drug efficacy (Menendez J A, Vellon L, Colomer R, et al. [J]. ANNALS OF ONCOLOGY, 2005, 16(3): 359 - 371.). However, this method of combining two single drugs has more side effects, higher toxicity, low bioavailability, and rapid metabolism. Therefore, we chose to design and synthesize conjugates of oleanolic acid derivatives and the HER2 inhibitor lapatinib. The conjugates can deliver the two drugs to the same cell (such as tumor cells) simultaneously, reduce multi-drug resistance, and improve bioavailability. In addition, since disulfide bonds can be targeted and cleaved by GSH in tumor cells to release two free compounds, disulfide compounds were selected as the linker of the conjugate to synthesize the conjugate of the two as a prodrug for targeted release in anti-tumor cells.

[0075] Application Example 1

[0076] Evaluation of the synergistic effect of the two drugs in the conjugate of the present invention on tumor cells:

[0077] MTT assay:

[0078] MDA-MB-231 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were prepared into a single-cell suspension with a cell density of 5×10 4 / mL. It was inoculated into a 96-well plate at a volume of 100 μL / well. After inoculation, it was placed in an incubator and cultured for another 24 h. After the cells adhered to the wall, the cell state was observed under a microscope. If the cells grew normally and were evenly distributed in the wells, they were placed in a laminar flow hood. The old medium was aspirated with a pipette, and fresh complete medium containing different concentrations of drugs was added and cultured for another 48 h. After the drug treatment was completed, the old medium was aspirated, and 100 μL of serum-free medium with a final concentration of 0.05 mg / mL of MTT was added to each well. It was incubated in the dark for 4 h. After incubation, the liquid in the wells was aspirated, and 100 μL of DMSO was added to dissolve the formed formazan. The absorbance at 37 °C and 490 nm was measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader, and the cell viability was calculated according to the following formula:

[0079] Cell survival rate (%) = (A 实验 - A 空白 ) / (A 对照 - A 空白 ) × 100%

[0080] where A 实验 is the absorbance of the drug-treated group; A 对照 is the absorbance of the control group without drug treatment; A 空白 is the absorbance of the background.

[0081] The biological effects of Lp-1 and N-4 in MDA-MB-231 cells were determined by the above MTT method, and the dose-effect curves were plotted as Figure 3 shown.

[0082] The following are the concentrations corresponding to a 50% inhibition rate of the drug and the combination index (CI) of the combined drug:

[0083] <![CDATA[IC 50 > Lp-1 20 (uM) N-4 44 (uM) Lp-1 + N-4 10 (uM) CI 0.79

[0084] The above results show that Lp-1 and N-4 have a concentration-dependent anti-proliferative effect and exhibit a synergistic effect in inhibiting tumors.
