Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, specifically relating to a STAT3 / HDAC dual-target inhibitor, its composition, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), a non-enzymatic protein with dual functions as an intracellular signal transducer and transcription factor, is continuously activated in approximately 70% of human cancers. STAT3 plays a crucial role in multiple oncogenic pathways and has long been considered a highly promising target for cancer therapy. However, the development of STAT3 inhibitors faces significant challenges due to the lack of typical small-molecule binding pockets inherent to transcription factors.
[0003] Within the structural motif of STAT3, the SH2 domain is involved in initiating the transcription of target genes. Given the indispensable role of the SH2 domain in STAT3 activation and dimerization, small molecule compounds targeting this domain dominate the development of STAT3 inhibitors. Currently, inhibitors targeting the SH2 domain face limitations in further development due to limited efficacy, and most of these inhibitors only interfere with the classic STAT3 activation mechanism by blocking Tyr705 phosphorylation, failing to inhibit Ser727 phosphorylation.
[0004] Unlike Tyr705 phosphorylation, Ser727 phosphorylation mediates oncogenicity through non-canonical STAT3 function. In addition to enhancing the canonical transcriptional function of STAT3, Ser727 phosphorylation also promotes the interaction between STAT3 and GRIM-19, regulates mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), promotes ATP production, and increases oxygen consumption. Ser727 phosphorylation is one of the important causes of RAS-mediated tumorigenesis.
[0005] Given the complementary roles of Tyr705 and Ser727 phosphorylation in cancer development and progression, developing STAT3 inhibitors that simultaneously inhibit both phosphorylation levels holds promise for enhancing anti-tumor efficacy. Although dual-site phosphorylation inhibitors of Tyr705 and Ser727 show greater promise than Tyr705 phosphorylation inhibitors, studies have shown that inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation alone is insufficient to fully block its function. Furthermore, dual-site phosphorylation inhibitors of Tyr705 and Ser727 have exhibited insufficient anti-tumor activity in clinical trials. Therefore, effective strategies are urgently needed to further enhance the anti-tumor function of dual-site phosphorylation inhibitors.
[0006] Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a classic class of epigenetic regulatory proteins. Their abnormal activation is closely related to the occurrence, development, invasion, and metastasis of various malignant tumors, such as prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and malignant melanoma. Currently, the US FDA and NMPA have approved five HDAC inhibitors for the treatment of malignant tumors. Although these drugs have shown significant anti-tumor activity against various hematologic malignancies, their efficacy in treating solid tumors is poor.
[0007] The occurrence and development of tumors is a complex pathological process involving multiple factors, multiple targets, and multiple signaling pathways. Single-target inhibitors suffer from insufficient efficacy and frequent drug resistance in clinical applications. Multi-target drugs designed based on the concept of "polyphacology" offer a new approach to address these issues. Developing single-molecule / dual (multi-target) inhibitors that simultaneously intervene in the functions of HDACs and other key oncogenic proteins to achieve synergistic anticancer efficacy has become a feasible strategy to improve the therapeutic effect of single-target drugs and overcome drug resistance. In recent years, various single-molecule / dual (multi-target) inhibitors that simultaneously intervene in the JAK-STAT3 pathway and HDACs have been reported, including JAK / HDAC inhibitors, STAT3 / HDAC inhibitors, and JAK / HDAC / BRD4 inhibitors. However, to date, no STAT3 / HDAC dual-target inhibitors with both Ser727 and Tyr705 phosphorylation regulation functions have been reported. Such molecules can maximally and directly intervene in STAT3 function while simultaneously addressing the insufficient efficacy of inhibiting STAT3 alone. Summary of the Invention

[0233] Experimental Example 1: Antitumor Cell Proliferation Activity of the Compounds of the Present Invention
[0234] STAT3 is persistently activated in the human colon cancer cell line HCT-116. In this study, OPB-31121, a representative compound that directly targets STAT3 (possessing in vitro and in vivo efficacy and inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation at Tyr705 and Ser727 sites), and the approved HDAC inhibitor SAHA were used as positive controls. The antiproliferative activity of the compounds of this invention, OPB-31121, and SAHA against HCT-116 was evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. Other compounds of this invention have similar beneficial effects to those listed below, but this should not be construed as meaning that the compounds of this invention only possess the following beneficial effects.
[0235] The assay for antitumor cell proliferation activity was performed as follows: HCT-116 cells were cultured in McCoy's 5a medium. HCT-116 cells in logarithmic growth phase (3 × 10⁻⁶ cells) were then... 3Cells were seeded in 96-well plates and cultured overnight (37 °C, 5% CO2). After cell attachment, the cells were co-incubated with solutions of varying concentrations of compounds for 72 h. An appropriate amount of CCK-8 solution was then added to each well, and incubation continued for another 4 h. After incubation, the supernatant was discarded, and the absorbance was measured at 450 nm. The IC50 was calculated using GraphPad Prism9 software. 50 Values. The antiproliferative activity of the preferred compounds against different tumor cells and their cytotoxicity against normal cells were evaluated in the same manner as HCT-116, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0238] As shown in Table 1, all the listed compounds exhibited significant anti-proliferative activity against the HCT-116 cell line, and some compounds showed comparable or even better activity than the positive controls OPB-31121 and SAHA.
[0239] Experimental Example 2: Broad-spectrum anti-tumor cell proliferation activity of the compounds of the present invention
[0240] Using a similar assay method to the above-described tumor cell antiproliferative activity test, the antiproliferative activity of compound 17 against various STAT3-high expressing tumor cell lines (including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies) was further evaluated. Other compounds of the present invention have similar beneficial effects to those listed below, but this should not be construed as meaning that the compounds of the present invention only possess the following beneficial effects.

[0244] Experimental Example 3: SPR Experiment of the Compounds of the Invention
[0245] SPR (Surface Refractive Index) is a common biophysical technique for characterizing the affinity of compounds for target proteins. The principle is that when a small molecule compound flowing through a chip specifically binds to a protein immobilized on its surface, it affects the chip's surface refractive index. This effect reflects the small molecule's affinity for the protein. To confirm that the target molecule can indeed bind to STAT3, we used this technique to examine the binding affinity of compound 17 to STAT3. Other compounds of this invention have similar beneficial effects to compound 17, but this should not be construed as meaning that the compounds of this invention only possess the following beneficial effects.
[0246] The CM5 sensor chip was activated using an activator (containing 400 mM EDC and 100 mM NHS; flow rate 10 μL / min). Subsequently, immobilization buffer (10 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.5) containing STAT3 (50 μg / mL) was injected into the Fc2 sample channel at a flow rate of 10 μL / min to achieve an immobilization level of 3000 RU. The chip was inactivated by ethanolamine-HCl (1 M, flow rate 10 μL / min). Compound 17 was diluted to gradient concentrations using running buffer (1×PBS buffer containing 0.05% Tween-20 and 5% DMSO, pH 7.4) and injected into channels Fc1-Fc2 at a flow rate of 30 μL / min, binding for 90 s followed by dissociation for 210 s.
[0247] Compound 17 in this invention has a high affinity (K) for STAT3. D The concentration was 0.87 μM, confirming that the compound of the present invention is a STAT3 ligand that can directly interact with the STAT3 protein.
[0248] Experimental Example 4: Experiment on the ability of the compound of the present invention to inhibit STAT3 signal transduction
[0249] Phosphorylation at STAT3 Tyr705 and Ser727 sites plays a complementary and synergistic role in cancer development and progression, while p-STAT3 Tyr705 and p-STAT3 Ser727 are biomarkers of the classical and non-classical activation pathways of STAT3, respectively. Therefore, to further characterize that the compounds of this invention can indeed interfere with phosphorylation at Tyr705 and Ser727 sites after binding to STAT3, this experimental example uses Western blotting to examine the ability of compound 17 to inhibit the expression of these two phosphorylation forms. Other compounds of this invention have similar beneficial effects to compound 17, but this should not be construed as meaning that the compounds of this invention only have the following beneficial effects.
[0250] HCT-116 cells in logarithmic growth phase (5 × 10⁻⁶) 6 Cells (per well) were seeded in 6-well plates and cultured overnight (37 °C, 5% CO2). Different concentrations of compound 17 or OPB-31121 solution were added to each well for drug administration, while an equal volume of complete culture medium was added to the blank control wells. Cells were cultured for another 24 h. Cells were collected, proteins were extracted and separated by SDS-PAGE, and transferred to PVDF membranes, incubated sequentially with primary and secondary antibodies. ImageJ software was used to calculate grayscale values and analyze the expression levels of STAT3 phosphorylation or HDAC substrate acetylation.
[0251] Figure 1 This indicates that compound 17 of the present invention can significantly inhibit phosphorylation at Tyr705 and Ser727 sites at concentrations as low as 1.0 μM. Therefore, the compound of the present invention can effectively intervene in intracellular STAT3 signaling by binding to STAT3 and simultaneously inhibiting phosphorylation at Tyr705 and Ser727 sites.
[0252] Experimental Example 5: Detection Experiment of the Inhibition of Intracellular ATP Production by the Compounds of the Present Invention
[0253] Phosphorylation of STAT3 at Ser727 can lead to increased mitochondrial ATP production in tumor cells. Given that compound 17 of this invention can inhibit STAT3 phosphorylation at Ser727, this study used an ATP assay kit to evaluate its inhibitory activity on ATP production in HCT-116 cells. Other compounds of this invention have similar beneficial effects to compound 17, but this should not be construed as meaning that the compounds of this invention only have the following beneficial effects.
[0254] HCT-116 cells were co-incubated with gradient concentrations of compound 17 and OPB-31121 for 24 h. Intracellular ATP production was quantitatively detected using a commercially available ATP assay kit (Beyotime, S0026), and the IC50 inhibitory concentration (IC50) for inhibiting ATP production was calculated. 50 value.
[0255] Figure 2 This indicates that compound 17 of the present invention can dose-dependently block ATP production (IC50) in HCT-116 cells. 50 = 0.73 μM), and its activity is superior to that of the positive control drug OPB-31121 (IC50). 50 = 1.41 μM).

[0257] Most tumors rely on OXPHOS to maintain their energy metabolism and drive disease progression. Given that phosphorylation of STAT3 at Ser727 leads to upregulation of mitochondrial OXPHOS, this study used the Seahorse assay to test the effect of compound 17 on mitochondrial OXPHOS in HCT-116 cells. Other compounds of this invention have similar beneficial effects to compound 17, but this should not be construed as meaning that the compounds of this invention only have the following beneficial effects.
[0258] HCT-116 cells in logarithmic growth phase (1×10⁻⁶) 5 Cells (cells / well) were seeded in XFp culture plates and cultured overnight (37°C, 5% CO2). Cells were co-incubated with different concentrations of Compound 17 solution for 24 h. OCR, basal OCR, maximum OCR, and ATP production rate were analyzed using the Seahorse XFSubOX kit and the Seahorse XFp analyzer.
[0259] Figure 3 This indicates that compound 17 of the present invention can inhibit mitochondrial OXPHOS in a dose-dependent manner. At concentrations as low as 0.33 μM, compound 17 significantly reduces both basal and maximal OCR. Consistent with the results of ATP inhibition experiments, the compounds of the present invention can regulate abnormal energy metabolism in tumor cells by inhibiting phosphorylation at the Ser727 site.
[0260] Experimental Example 7: Activity of the Compounds of the Present Invention in Inhibiting Representative HDAC Isotypes
[0261] The inhibitory effect of compound 17 on representative HDAC isoforms—HDAC1 and HDAC6—was evaluated using a fluorescence method. Other compounds of this invention have similar beneficial effects to those listed below, but this should not be construed as meaning that the compounds of this invention only possess the following beneficial effects.
[0262] The HDAC1 and HDAC6 inhibitory activities of compound 17 were determined using a fluorescence detection method. A 10 mM stock solution of the test compound was prepared from DMSO solution. Enzyme and substrate / trypsin solutions were prepared using buffer solutions. Gradient concentrations of the test compound solutions and enzyme solutions were incubated together in 384-well plates at room temperature for 15 min. Subsequently, the substrate / trypsin mixture was added to the detection plate to prepare the catalytic reaction system. Fluorescence values were read using an Envision microplate reader to calculate the inhibition rate at each concentration. An XL-Fit curve was used to obtain the IC50 values. 50 value.
[0263] Table 3. Inhibitory activity of compounds against other representative HDAC isotypes
[0264] In Table 3: "++++" represents 5-10 nM; "+++" represents 10-50 nM; "++" represents 50-100 nM; "+" represents 100-200 nM.
[0265] As shown in Table 3, compound 17 can significantly inhibit the representative HDAC subtypes HDAC1 and HDAC6. Therefore, the compound of this invention is a dual-target inhibitor of STAT3 / HDAC that combines the phosphorylation regulation functions of Ser727 and Tyr705.
[0266] Experimental Example 8: Detection Experiment of Acetylation Level of HDAC Substrate by Compounds of the Present Invention
[0267] Histone H3 and α-tubulin are substrates of HDAC1 and HDAC6, respectively. To verify the inhibitory effect of compound 17 on HDAC in cells, this experiment used a similar testing method to the above-mentioned experiment on the ability to inhibit STAT3 signaling, and Western blotting was used to determine the effect of compound 17 on the expression of Ac-H3 and Ac-α-tubulin in cells. Other compounds of the present invention have similar beneficial effects to the compounds listed below, but this should not be construed as the compounds of the present invention having only the following beneficial effects.
[0268] Figure 4 This indicates that compound 17 of the present invention can significantly upregulate the expression levels of intracellular Ac-H3 and Ac-α-tubulin at concentrations as low as 2.0 μM. Therefore, compound 17 of the present invention can inhibit the deacetylation of intracellular HDAC substrates, i.e., it has an intracellular HDAC inhibitory effect.
[0269] Experimental Example 9: Detection Experiment of Cell Cycle and Apoptosis by Compounds of the Invention
[0270] Given that both STAT3 and HDACs are involved in tumor cell growth, survival, and proliferation, this experiment used flow cytometry to verify the effect of compound 17 on the cell cycle and apoptosis of HCT-116 cells. Other compounds of this invention have similar beneficial effects to those listed below, but this should not be construed as meaning that the compounds of this invention only have the following beneficial effects.
[0271] HCT-116 cells in logarithmic growth phase (5 × 10⁻⁶) 5Cells were seeded in 6-well plates and cultured overnight (37 °C, 5% CO2), followed by co-incubation for 72 h with OPB-31121, SAHA, or different concentrations of compound 17. Cells were then digested with 0.25% trypsin (without EDTA) and washed twice with PBS. The cell suspension was divided into two aliquots, one for cell cycle analysis. Pre-chilled 80% ethanol was added to this sample, and the cells were fixed overnight at 4 °C. After centrifugation at 1000 xg, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were washed with PBS and resuspended in PBS. RNase A (20 μL) was added to the cell suspension, and the cells were incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. After centrifugation at 1000 xg again, the supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was resuspended in PI staining solution (400 μL). The cells were incubated at 4 °C in the dark for 30 min, and the cell cycle was analyzed using flow cytometry. The other cell suspension was used for apoptosis analysis using annexin V-FITC / PI double staining. Cells were resuspended in binding buffer (400 μL), and annexin V-FITC (5 μL) and PI (10 μL) were added sequentially. After incubation in the dark for 15 min, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.
[0272] Figure 5-7 This indicates that compound 17 in this invention arrests the cell cycle at the G0 / G1 phase and can dose-dependently increase the proportion of cells in the G0 / G1 phase and decrease the proportion of cells in the S phase. Annexin V-FITC / PI double staining results showed that it can dose-dependently increase the proportion of apoptotic cells. When the dose was 0.5 μM, the proportion of apoptotic HCT-116 cells reached 26.30%.
[0273] In summary, the compounds in this invention exhibit excellent anti-proliferative activity against a variety of cancer cells; they can simultaneously inhibit STAT3 and HDAC functions, and also possess Ser727 and Tyr705 phosphorylation regulatory functions. This class of dual-target inhibitors demonstrates significant anti-cancer potential.
