Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of anticancer drugs, and in particular to an indole-3-aryl ketone derivative, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and poses a serious threat to human health. Although significant progress has been made in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment in recent years, existing therapies, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, still have many limitations and challenges. For example, many chemotherapy drugs have poor selectivity and produce serious toxic side effects on normal tissues and organs while killing tumor cells; tumor cells are prone to multidrug resistance, leading to treatment failure; some targeted drugs are only effective against specific gene mutations or specific types of tumors, and have a limited scope of application; and the response rate of immunotherapy varies greatly among different cancer types and patients, and may be accompanied by immune-related adverse reactions. Therefore, the development of new, highly effective, low-toxic drugs with broad-spectrum anti-cancer activity remains an urgent need and a major challenge in the current field of anti-tumor drug research and development.

[0003] Among the numerous chemical backbones with potential anti-tumor activity, indole compounds have attracted considerable attention due to their broad biological activity. Indole derivatives from both natural and synthetic sources have been shown to inhibit tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis through various mechanisms. Among them, the indole-3-one structural unit is considered an important pharmacophore, present in many biologically active molecules.

[0004] Researchers are modifying the indole-3-one skeleton in hopes of obtaining derivatives with increased activity, improved selectivity, or novel mechanisms of action. While some compounds with indole-3-one or indole-like structures have been reported to exhibit inhibitory activity against specific tumor types, they often lack broad-spectrum anticancer properties, making them inadequate for combating multiple cancers. Therefore, the development of indole-3-aryl ketone derivatives with broad-spectrum and highly effective antitumor activity is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a class of indole-3-aryl ketone derivatives and their use in the preparation of drugs for preventing and / or treating cancer. The indole-3-aryl ketone derivatives have excellent inhibitory activity against various types of human cancer cells.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The present invention provides an indole-3-aryl ketone derivative, wherein the indole-3-aryl ketone derivative is selected from one or more of compounds I-VI, and has the following structural formula: .

[0007] The indole-3-aryl ketone derivative is preferably compound I, compound II, compound V or compound VI; The indole-3-aryl ketone derivative is further preferably compound I, having the following structural formula: .

[0008] The above preferred compounds have good inhibitory activity against cancer cells and are better than the positive control cisplatin.

[0009] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the indole-3-aryl ketone derivative, which is as follows: Compound M1, Compound M2, and Compound M3 are mixed, cesium carbonate is added, and the mixture is reacted at room temperature under 460 nm light for 8-20 hours, and the compounds I-VI are separated by column chromatography; The compound M1 is acenaphthenequinone; the compound M3 is trifluoroethanol or hexafluoroisopropanol; The structural formula of the compound M2 is as follows: 、 、 、 、 or .

[0010] Preferably, the molar volume ratio of the compounds M1, M2 and M3 is 2-4 mmol: 1-3 mmol: 15-30 mL; and the amount of cesium carbonate added is 2-3 times the molar amount of compound M1.

[0011] The present invention also provides the use of the indole-3-aryl ketone derivative in preparing a drug for preventing and / or treating cancer, wherein the cancer is at least one of breast cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer, leukemia, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioma, osteosarcoma, ovarian cancer, kidney cancer and skin cancer.

[0012] Preferably, the cancer is breast cancer.

[0013] Preferably, the indole-3-aryl ketone derivative, its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, stereoisomer, metabolite or prodrug can also be used as a pharmaceutical active ingredient.

[0014] Preferably, the active pharmaceutical ingredient is used in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Compounds I-VI can be used directly or in the form of a pharmaceutical composition. These can be administered orally or by injection to patients in need of treatment, and can be formulated into various pharmaceutical forms for use, thus providing a wide range of applications.

[0015] As a further description of the above scheme: the mass fraction of the active ingredient of the medicine is 0.1%~99%; preferably, the mass fraction of the active ingredient of the medicine is 0.1%~20%.

[0016] Currently marketed indole anticancer drugs (such as indirubin and sunitinib) all contain an indole or oxidized indole backbone. Their mechanisms of action involve inhibition of kinase activity, interference with tubulin polymerization, or induction of apoptosis. This suggests that the indole ring system is an effective carrier of anticancer activity. The type of substituent at the C-3 position of the indole significantly influences anticancer activity. The present invention introduces an aromatic ketone group at the C-3 position of the indole. The electronic effects of the aromatic group modulate target affinity, significantly enhancing anticancer activity. The steric hindrance of the aromatic substituent can influence molecular conformation. For example, ortho-substitution may enhance the ability to fit into the hydrophobic pocket of the target. This provides the structural foundation for the broad-spectrum anticancer activity of the compounds provided by the present invention.

[0017] Compared with the existing technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present invention screens the activity of indole-3-aryl ketone derivatives and discovers for the first time that indole-3-aryl ketone derivatives (compounds I-VI) have excellent inhibitory activity against various types of human cancer cells, providing an alternative for broad-spectrum anticancer drugs.

[0018] In addition, the synthesis process provided by the present invention is simple to operate, has fewer by-products, high yield, and is environmentally friendly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] Example 2 Antitumor Activity Test of Indole-3-aryl ketone Derivatives The CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell growth inhibition. The CCK-8 assay, also known as the Cell Counting Kit-8, is a commonly used assay for detecting cell proliferation and cytotoxicity. The CCK-8 assay is based on the compound WST-8 (2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfonate phenyl)-2H-tetrazolium monosodium salt). In the presence of the electron carrier 1-Methoxy PMS (menadione phosphate), WST-8 is reduced by intracellular mitochondrial dehydrogenases to produce a highly water-soluble orange-yellow formazan product. The amount of formazan produced is proportional to the number of viable cells, and the color intensity reflects cellular metabolic activity. The absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader indirectly reflects the number of viable cells. Therefore, the CCK-8 assay can be used to assess cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, or the cellular effects of drugs.

[0038] Compounds (I-VI) were dissolved in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). DMSO was then used to prepare solutions with concentrations of 50 μM, 10 μM, 1 μM, 500 nM, 100 nM, 50 nM, 10 nM, and 5 nM, respectively. These solutions were used as test solutions.

[0039] Human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and HCC1937 (4×10 3 Cells were seeded into 96-well plates (99 μL of culture medium per well) and incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours. Then, 1 μL of test solution (I-VI) was added to each well. For the control group, only 1 μL of DMSO was added to the cell cultures. After incubation for 72 hours, 10 μL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well and gently mixed to avoid bubbles. Incubation continued for another hour. The absorbance of each well was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader. The average OD value was calculated and compared with the control group (untreated cells) to analyze changes in cell proliferation or toxicity. The percentage of the absorbance of the experimental group relative to the control group represents the cell viability or proliferation level, with the control group assumed to be 100%. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0040] Table 3 IC50 of indole-3-aryl ketone derivatives (I-VI) on human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and HCC1937 50 (μM)

[0041] The results are shown in Table 3. All indole-3-aryl ketone derivatives (Compounds I-VI) have good anti-tumor activity. Among them, Compound I exhibits the strongest inhibitory activity against breast cancer at a concentration of less than 10 μM, which is more active than the clinical chemotherapy drug cisplatin.
