Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry technology, and relates to an HPK1 kinase inhibitor, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and small-molecule targeted drugs are the main methods used to treat cancer. Unfortunately, for many forms of cancer or tumors, surgical resection is often not a feasible option, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy, while killing tumor cells, also damage healthy cells. Furthermore, the instability of the tumor cell genome promotes mutations in tumor cells, leading to rapid changes in the cancer genome and resistance to drugs specifically targeting tumors, making cancer treatment extremely difficult. In recent years, a novel strategy for cancer treatment has emerged: leveraging the patient's own immune system to kill tumor cells and enhancing the body's anti-tumor immunity. One approach involves inhibiting negative regulators of the immune response that maintain peripheral tolerance, causing the tumor to be recognized as a non-self antigen, thereby overcoming the immune escape of tumor cells.
[0003] Hematopoietic progenitor cell kinase (HPK1) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP4K) family of Ste20 serine / threonine kinases, also known as MAP4K1. It is primarily expressed in hematopoietic cells (such as T cells, B cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells, and macrophages), playing a negative regulatory role in T and B cells. Inhibition of HPK1 kinase activity can enhance the ability of immune cells to kill tumor cells, making HPK1 a highly valuable target in tumor immunology. HPK1 kinase is not expressed in major organs, suggesting that HPK1 kinase inhibitors may not cause any serious complications. Summary of the Invention
