Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to a deuterated polycyclic compound, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Interfering with the binding of endogenous steroid hormones to their receptors to achieve anti-tumor effects using hormonal drugs is an important approach in the treatment of endocrine cancers such as prostate and breast cancer. Many patients respond very well to treatment initially, achieving good disease control. However, over time, acquired drug resistance inevitably develops, ultimately leading to disease recurrence and progression. The mechanisms of acquired drug resistance are generally complex, and disease progression is often the result of multiple factors.

[0003] Prostate cancer is a common malignancy of the male genitourinary system. Androgen receptor (AR) signaling, driven by androgens (testosterone and dihydrotestosterone), promotes the growth and proliferation of prostate cancer cells, playing a crucial role in disease progression. Therefore, inhibiting testicular androgen synthesis, thereby reducing androgen levels in the body, through medication or surgery, can effectively inhibit prostate cancer cell growth and achieve disease regression. This treatment, known as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), is the standard of care for prostate cancer. However, because the adrenal glands and prostate cancer cells also produce androgens, prostate cancer can continue to progress after a period of ADT, even though circulating androgen concentrations remain low. This is also known as castration resistance. Currently approved treatments for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), in addition to AR inhibitors such as enzalutamide, are primarily abiraterone. Abiraterone is a CYP17 enzyme inhibitor that inhibits tumor growth by preventing the adrenal gland from synthesizing androgens such as pregnenolone, further shutting off the production of androgens needed by tumor cells. Although abiraterone is very effective in the early stages, drug resistance inevitably develops. At this time, the available treatment options for these patients with CRPC progression are very limited, so new mechanisms of therapy and drugs are urgently needed. Studies on CRPC progression have shown that activation of the AR signaling pathway still plays an important role in tumor growth at this time, and AR gene amplification and AR mutations lead to increased AR affinity for endogenous hormones other than testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, which is one of the important reasons for AR signaling pathway activation. Therefore, deeply shutting off AR signaling pathway activation in CRPC by inhibiting the synthesis of most or even all steroid hormones is a very promising prostate cancer treatment.

[0004] The synthesis of all steroid hormones in the human body, including glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and sex hormones, is derived from the same precursor, cholesterol. The entire process is a series of complex transformations catalyzed by P450 cytochromes and hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases, ultimately resulting in the various hormones needed by the human body. In the first step of these transformations, the CYP11A1 enzyme catalyzes the side chain cleavage oxidation reaction of cholesterol. Therefore, inhibiting the catalytic activity of CYP11A1 can effectively cut off the body's use of cholesterol to synthesize various hormones, thereby blocking various hormone-mediated physiological functions. CYP11A1 has therefore become a potential target for the treatment of endocrine cancers such as prostate cancer and breast cancer.

[0005] Currently, no drug has been approved for this target, and there is a strong demand for the development of highly active CYP11A1 inhibitors. Summary of the Invention

[0068] In the following examples, the characterization methods used are as follows.

[0069] H NMR spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR):

[0070] The NMR spectra of the reaction products and intermediates ( 1 H NMR spectra were obtained on a Bruker AVANCE III HD400 / 500 in Germany. Sample preparation is as follows: In a clean, dry glass NMR tube, completely dissolve an appropriate amount of sample in approximately 0.5 mL of a deuterated solvent. Most compounds have good solubility in DMSO-d6, making it the preferred deuterated solvent. DMSO-d6 readily solidifies at relatively low room temperatures and requires a hair dryer to dissolve it before loading. Other suitable deuterated reagents, such as CDCl3 and CD3OD, can also be used depending on testing needs. Tetramethylsilane (TMS) was used as the internal standard for testing at room temperature, with a chemical shift of 0 ppm.

[0110] Pregnenolone and testosterone biosynthesis inhibition experiments were conducted using the NCI-H295R cell line. NCI-H295R cells were revived and cultured in complete DMEM medium. Once cells were in good condition, they were added to a 96-well plate at a concentration of 95 μL per well (60,000 cells / well) and incubated overnight in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. After the cells adhered, the diluted test compound was added to the 96-well plate in duplicate according to a concentration gradient, with 5 μL added to each well. Positive and blank controls were treated with equal volumes of complete DMEM medium containing the same DMSO content, mixed by vortexing, and incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 48 hours. After incubation, 50 μL of the supernatant from the centrifuged culture medium sample was collected and quenched with 50 μL of ice-pure methanol. Subsequently, 150 μL of 100 mM hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 50% methanol (containing 2 ng / mL verapamil) was added. The sample was vortexed for 5 minutes and reacted in a 60°C water bath for 1 hour. After centrifugation, the secretion of pregnenolone and testosterone was analyzed by LC-MS / MS. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9 software and IC was calculated. 50 IC values ​​of some compounds against CYP11A1 obtained by inhibition of pregnenolone and testosterone biosynthesis 50 See Table 2. "Preg" is the abbreviation for Pregnenolone, "Test" is the abbreviation for Testosterone, and "NT" is the abbreviation for "Not Tested," meaning it has not yet been tested. The positive compound is Example 185 in patent WO2018115591, and its structure is as follows:
