Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the pharmaceutical field, specifically relating to aminothiazole compounds and their use as androgen receptor antagonists. It includes aminothiazole compounds or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, prodrugs, isomers, metabolites, or pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, as well as their use as androgen receptor antagonists in the preparation of drugs for treating prostate cancer and androgenic alopecia. Background Technology
[0002] Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor of the male urinary system. Traditional androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can effectively slow disease progression by lowering testosterone levels and inhibiting androgen signaling pathways through surgery or medication. However, after 18–24 months of ADT, most prostate cancer patients develop castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), in which the disease continues to progress even with low testosterone levels, resulting in limited survival and posing a serious threat to human health.
[0003] In recent years, androgen receptor (AR) antagonists have been considered one of the key directions in the treatment of prostate cancer. They are not only of great significance in delaying the progression of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) to CRPC, but also can significantly improve the treatment prognosis of CRPC patients.
[0004] Currently, several small molecule compounds targeting the AR ligand binding pocket (LBP) have been successfully marketed. Among them, the second-generation AR antagonist enzalutamide has significantly improved the treatment efficacy of CRPC and has gained widespread clinical recognition. However, the development of acquired resistance at the LBP binding site has greatly reduced the clinical benefits of these drugs.
[0005] The inventors further analyzed the structure of the AR dimerization interface and discovered a novel binding pocket (DIP) (ACS Cent. Sci. 2023, 9, 675-684). Based on this pocket, a lead molecule with certain AR antagonistic activity was obtained through virtual screening and structural modification (J. Med. Chem. 2024, 67, 17520-17541). Building on this, the inventors systematically optimized the structure of the lead molecule and conducted in-depth analysis of its structure-activity relationship, thereby developing a series of novel aminothiazole derivatives.

[0127] Example 10: Evaluation Experiment of Androgen Receptor Transcriptional Ability
[0128] Detection principle: Androgen receptors, as transcription factors, require binding to androgen response elements to exert their transcriptional activity. In androgen-dependent prostate cancer cells (LNCaP), the promoter ARR2PB, which exhibits a strong response to the androgen receptor (AR), was stably transfected. Since the expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) depends on ARR2PB, a stable LNCaP-ARR2PB-eGFP expression model was constructed. After treatment with compounds at different concentration gradients, the fluorescence intensity values directly reflected the transcriptional activity of AR, thus revealing the strength of the compounds' antagonistic ability against the androgen receptor.
[0129] Testing steps: LNCaP-ARR2PB-eGFP cells were cultured in RPMA-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum until they reached 80% confluence. The cells were then passaged and cultured for another 4-5 days in RPMA-1640 medium containing 5% fetal bovine serum (without androgens). The cells were then fed at 3.5 × 10⁻⁶ cells / day. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of 10 cells / well into 96-well plates. After cell adhesion the following day, each well was treated with 5 nM dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and different concentration gradients of the test compound. After incubation for 72 hours, fluorescence intensity near 530 nm was detected using a multi-mode microplate reader under 485 nm excitation light. The average value of the 5 nM DHT wells was taken as 0%, and the blank culture group was taken as 100% for normalization of the transcriptional repressive activity of the compound. IC50 was then calculated. 50 The values were obtained by fitting using GraphpadPrism 8.0.2 software, with enzalutamide as a positive control.
[0130] Detection results: As shown in Table 3, most compounds exhibited strong AR transcriptional repression activity.
[0131] Table 3. AR transcriptional repressive activity of relevant compounds "++++" represents <100nM; "+++" represents 100-500nM; "++" represents 0.5-1μM; "+" represents >1μM.
[0132] Example 11: Test of the inhibitory activity of representative compounds on the proliferation of AR-positive prostate cancer cells LNCaP
[0133] Detection principle: MTT assay is a commonly used method for assessing cell proliferation inhibition. In live cells, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome C in mitochondria reduce MTT to water-insoluble blue-purple formazan crystals, and the amount produced is positively correlated with the number of live cells. LNCaP cells are an AR-positive androgen-dependent prostate cancer cell line; therefore, AR antagonists can effectively inhibit LNCaP cell proliferation by blocking androgen receptor signaling. In this experiment, MTT solution was added to treated LNCaP cells to generate formazan crystals, which were then dissolved using DMSO or a triple solution. The optical density (OD value) of the solution was measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader, which directly reflects the number of live cells, thus assessing the inhibitory effect of the drug on LNCaP cell proliferation.
[0134] Testing steps: First, LNCaP cells grown to the logarithmic growth phase were collected and diluted, and seeded at a density of 3000 cells per well in 96-well clear plates. After 24 hours of culture, once cell adhesion was complete, 10 μL of the diluted compound solution was added to each well. A cell-free control group and a solvent control group containing only culture medium were also included. After 72 hours of further cell culture, 10 μL of 5 mg / mL MTT solution was added to each well, and the cells were incubated for 2 to 4 hours. Then, 100 μL of a triple solution was added overnight to dissolve the formazan crystals. Finally, the OD values were measured at 570 nm and 620 nm using a microplate reader, and the cell proliferation inhibition rate was calculated based on the results.
[0135] Test results: As shown in Table 4, all tested compounds exhibited significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation of LNCaP cells, which were superior to enzalutamide, demonstrating excellent therapeutic potential at the cellular level.

[0137] Example 12: Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay for the effect of compounds on AR F876L / T877A activity of mutants
[0138] Detection principle: PC3 is an AR-negative prostate cancer cell line. Transfecting these cells with the pCMV-AR, ARR2PB-Luc, and Renilla plasmids allowed for the quantitative assessment of the activity of compounds against mutant AR. Luc is a firefly luciferase, whose expression is regulated by the transcriptional activity of AR downstream of the ARR2PB promoter. The Renilla plasmid encodes Renilla luciferase and was used to correct for transfection efficiency. By comparing the expression ratios of firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase, the interaction between transcription factors and target promoters could be quantitatively analyzed.
[0139] Testing steps: After digesting and centrifuging cells in the logarithmic growth phase, resuspend them in 10 mL of phenol red-free RPMI 1640 medium. Count the cells and adjust the cell suspension concentration. Seed the cells into 96-well plates with a white background, 10,000 cells per well (75 μL total volume). Incubate at 37°C for 24 hours. Transfect according to the transfection reagent instructions. Add 0.1 μg of total DNA and 0.25 μL of transfection reagent to each well, pre-mixed with 25 μL of Opti-MEM serum-depleted medium and incubated for 30 min before adding to the 96-well plates. The co-transfected DNA was divided into three categories: plasmids expressing the nuclear receptor, plasmids containing the corresponding promoter expressing firefly luciferase, and Renilla plasmids expressing Renilla luciferase. The Renilla transfection ratio was 1 / 20 of the total DNA, and the ratio of the nuclear receptor to its corresponding promoter plasmid was 3:1. Place in an incubator for static culture (pGL4.18-ARR2PB-Luc is AR) F876L / T877A The promoter, pGL4.18-mmTV-Luc, is used for both MR and PRDRAM. After 24 hours, the culture medium containing the transfection reagent was aspirated, and 90 μL of fresh phenol red-free 1640 medium was added to each well. A concentration gradient of the drug and the corresponding hormone was added to each well, with a hormone control group and a blank control group included. 24 hours after administration, fluorescence values were measured according to the kit instructions. The ratio of firefly luciferase to Renilla luciferase in each well was calculated, and the activator / inhibitor ratio of the corresponding compound was calculated. IC50 50 The values were obtained by fitting using Graphpad Prism 8.0.2 software.
[0140] Test results: As shown in Table 5, after transfection with AR F876L / T877A Subsequently, enzalutamide changed from an antagonist to a partial agonist, and several of our compounds exhibited strong antagonistic activity, suggesting its potential application value in the treatment of drug-resistant prostate cancer.
