TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmacotherapy, in particular to a carborane-containing isoflavone derivative and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Flavonoids are an important class of natural products, widely exist in plants such as celery, parsley, red pepper, chamomile, mint and ginkgo leaves, and exist in the form of glycosides and free bodies. Flavonoids, in structure, refer to a series of compounds in which two benzene rings with phenolic hydroxyl groups are connected to each other through a central three-carbon atom. According to the oxidation degree of the central three-carbon chain, the connection position of the B ring, and whether the three-carbon chain forms a ring, the main natural flavonoids can be divided into flavones, isoflavones, flavonols, dihydroflavones, chalcones, aurones, etc.
[0003] At present, many flavonoid drugs are being applied in clinical treatment. For example, Shuxuening tablets, which contain flavones and biflavones, are used for the treatment of coronary heart disease and angina pectoris; Licoxin, a fully synthetic ethoxy flavone, is used in clinic to dilate coronary vessels and increase coronary flow. In addition, some of them have also entered the clinical trial stage, such as quercetin for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (NCT 04685590); Lariciresin for the treatment of secondary lymphedema of lower extremities (NCT 04360889); Fustin for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (NCT 05416515), etc.
[0004] Isoflavones are an important class of flavonoid natural products. Due to their structural similarity to diethylstilbestrol, they can bind to estrogen receptors and have estrogen-like effects, such as genistein, biochanin A, and daidzein (Whitten PL et al., Environmental Health Perspectives, 2001, 109, 5-20.). In recent years, the activity of isoflavones in anti-tumor research has also attracted much attention. Due to the multi-target characteristics of natural products, they have unique therapeutic potential for tumor, a multi-factor induced systemic disease. According to related pharmacodynamic and clinical studies, many flavonoids are effective for breast cancer, prostate cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, etc., and also show significant synergistic effect in combination with marketed anticancer drugs, enhancing the efficacy.
[0005] Formononetin, a potent fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGFR2) inhibitor, has an IC 50about 4.31 μM, effectively inhibits cell proliferation and tumor growth by blocking the Akt signaling pathway in breast cancer cells; at the same time, it inhibits tumor angiogenesis, and can overcome the drug resistance of traditional vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -targeted angiogenesis inhibitors (Xiaoyu Wu et al., Oncotarget, 2015, 6, 42.). In addition, studies have shown that formononetin can regulate multiple signaling pathways, such as the Janus kinase / signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK / STAT) signaling pathway, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase / protein kinase B (PI3K / AKT) signaling pathway, and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 / 2 (ERK1 / 2) signaling pathway in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), inhibiting cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. When combined with other chemotherapeutic drugs such as bortezomib, LY2940002, U0126, sunitinib, epirubicin, doxorubicin, temozolomide, metformin, etc., it can produce a synergistic effect to enhance the anti-cancer effect of formononetin and related drugs (Kai-Ching Tay et al., Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019, 10, 820.). Psoralen isoflavone is also an important bioactive compound that can inhibit the expression of downstream genes of the transcription factor protein family nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and inhibit the proliferation and migration of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. At the same time, it can significantly reverse the proliferation of NSCLC cell lines induced by p65 overexpression (Zihan Lin et al., Phytomedicine, 2023, 110, 154627.).
[0006] However, based on the characteristics of multi-targets of natural products, there are also some drawbacks, such as the site and mechanism of active action are not clear enough, which limits the further development of natural product drugs. Therefore, it is of great significance to reasonably modify the structure of natural products, improve their targeting, and clarify their distribution in the body. SUMMARY
[0007] In view of the defects of isoflavone compounds in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a carbon-borane-containing isoflavone derivative and a preparation method and use thereof, which shows anti-tumor activity in related cancer cell lines.
[0008] To achieve this purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0011] wherein R 1 and R2 each independently selected from a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a benzyloxy group, a methoxy group, a sulfonylfluorooxy group; X is selected from a carbonyl group, a methylene group, CH-OH;
[0012] X-Y is selected from a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond; Y-Z is selected from a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond.
[0013] The "carborane" in the present application is a polyhedral structure composed of CH and BH vertices, preferably a icosahedral closed-loop dodecaborane structure (C2B 10 H 12 Due to the low polarity of B-H bond, carborane has a high hydrophobic property, which is beneficial to enhance the transport of small molecules across the cell membrane and the blood-brain barrier; at the same time, as an inorganic structure, carborane can avoid being degraded by enzymes in the body, so it has high stability under biological conditions. In addition, the detection background of boron element in the body is extremely low, which provides favorable conditions for analyzing the distribution and pharmacokinetic properties of carborane-modified compounds in the body. The present application connects carborane with natural isoflavone compounds with anti-tumor activity, which can overcome the drawbacks of unclear active site and mechanism of isoflavone compounds, improve the targeting property, and can be used in combination with boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) to achieve precise positioning treatment and inhibit tumor growth and migration.

[0156] Experimental methods
[0157] K562 / ADR cells, a type of chronic leukemia cell line in good logarithmic growth phase, were seeded in six-well plates at a density of 2 × 10⁶ cells per well. 5The cells were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours. After incubation for 24 hours with different concentrations (3 and 10 μM) of compounds ZYR-FA-4 and ZYR-FA-13, the cells were lysed with 1×SDS gel loading buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 6.8), 100 mM DTT, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, and 0.1% bromophenol blue). Cell lysates were denatured by heating in a boiling water bath and subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane using a wet transfer system. The PVDF membrane was then blocked at room temperature in blocking buffer (5% skim milk powder diluted in TBST). After blocking, the membrane was incubated overnight at 4°C with the corresponding anti-MDR1 primary antibody (1:1000, #13342, CST) and anti-GAPDH primary antibody (1:2000, #5174, CST). After washing, the bands were immersed in secondary antibody buffer according to the primary antibody species (mouse or rabbit), and incubated on a shaker at room temperature for 1 hour. Finally, the membrane was developed using Immobilon Western HRP Substrate Luminal Reagent and photographed using a Western Blot imaging system.
[0158] Experimental results
[0159] like Figure 1 As shown, compared with K562 cells, K562 / ADR cells exhibited high expression of MDR1, as demonstrated by compound ZYR-FA-4 in the example. Figure 1 A) and ZYR-FA-13 ( Figure 1 B) Significantly inhibited the multidrug resistance protein MDR1 in K562 / ADR cells, with the inhibitory effect being concentration-dependent.
