Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to a compound with PRMT1 degradation activity, its preparation method, and its uses. Background Technology
[0002] Histone methylation is a highly dynamic and reversible process regulated by histone methyltransferases and demethylases. The protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family, as one of the major classes of histone methyltransferases, has catalytic activity dependent on S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) as a cofactor.
[0003] Based on their catalytic products, the PRMT family can be divided into three types (I-III): Type I PRMTs (including PRMT1, PRMT2, PRMT3, PRMT4, PRMT6, and PRMT8) catalyze the methylation of arginine residues to form ω-NG-monomethylarginine (MMA) or ω-NG,NG-asymmetric dimethylarginine (aDMA); Type II PRMTs (PRMT5 and PRMT9) catalyze MMA or ω-NG,N'G-symmetric dimethylarginine (sDMA); while PRMT7 is separately classified as Type III, possessing unique catalytic specificity and only producing MMA. Notably, PRMT1, as the main enzyme of Type I PRMTs, has been reported to account for approximately 85% of cellular aDMA levels. Under physiological conditions, PRMT1 regulates various biological processes, such as gene transcription, maintenance of genome stability, DNA damage response, RNA splicing, RNA metabolism, and signal transduction. However, dysregulation of PRMT1 expression or activity has been shown to be closely related to the development and progression of various diseases, especially cancer.
[0004] Given the profound involvement of PRMT1 in physiological and pathological processes, the development of inhibitors targeting PRMT1 has become a research hotspot in the biomedical field. However, due to the high structural conservation among type I PRMTs, developing PRMT1 inhibitors with both high potency and high selectivity remains a persistent challenge. This limitation has prompted the exploration of alternative strategies such as targeting protein degradation. Among these, protein-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional compounds that can simultaneously bind to both the target protein and an E3 ubiquitin ligase. These compounds can be recognized by the cell's proteasome, inducing the degradation of the target protein and effectively reducing its concentration in the cell. This technology provides a potential pathway to overcome selectivity limitations by completely degrading the target protein.
[0005] Currently, there are no effective PROTAC degraders targeting PRMT1 reported in this field, so there is an urgent need to develop a novel degrader that can target PRMT1. Summary of the Invention
