Abstract
Description
Integrin ligand and use thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and in particular relates to an integrin ligand and its use. Background Art
[0002] Cancer is a major cause of death from disease. Studies have shown that the tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in the development and metastasis of tumor cells. Among these, the adhesion molecule family plays a key role in the tumor microenvironment. Integrins are a type of surface cell adhesion molecule, consisting of 24 different integrins, composed of 18 α-subunits and 8 β-subunits. Integrin αvβ6 is an αvβ6 heterodimer formed by the binding of integrin αv and integrin β6. Its main structure consists of three domains: a cytoplasmic domain, an extracellular domain, and a transmembrane domain. Existing studies have shown that αvβ6 integrin can promote cell invasion and migration during metastasis and inhibit apoptosis. αvβ6 integrin can also regulate the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and activate TGF-β1. Accumulating evidence from in vitro studies suggests that αvβ6 integrin may promote cancer progression. Therefore, considering the role of integrin αvβ6 in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression and TGF-β1 activation, integrin αvβ6 is attractive as a tumor biomarker and potential therapeutic target.
[0003] The in vivo delivery of therapeutically effective compounds, such as drug compounds, to desired cells and / or tissues remains a challenge in drug product development. Currently, in the field of drug delivery, there remains a need for stable and effective targeting ligands that can selectively target cells or tissues, which can be used to facilitate the targeted delivery of transported molecules (e.g., therapeutically active compounds or ingredients) to specific cells or tissues. Indeed, in the drug development process, there is a general need for targeting ligands that can be conjugated to one or more selected transported molecules (e.g., one or more drug products or other payloads) to facilitate the delivery of the transported molecules to desired cells or tissues in vivo. In addition, there is a need for compounds that target integrin αvβ6 that are suitable for conjugation to transported molecules to deliver the transported molecules to cells expressing integrin αvβ6 in vivo. For certain transported molecules, such as therapeutic oligonucleotide-based compounds (e.g., antisense oligonucleotides or RNAi agents), a targeting ligand capable of targeting integrin αvβ6 is required, which can be conjugated to the oligonucleotide-based compound to deliver the therapeutic agent to cells and / or tissues expressing integrin αvβ6 and promote the entry of the therapeutic agent into the cell by receptor-mediated endocytosis, pinocytosis or other means.
[0004] Chinese patent CN201880070813.4 discloses an αvβ6 integrin ligand having serum stability and affinity for integrin αvβ6. The αvβ6 integrin ligand can be used to target cells expressing integrin αvβ6 in vitro, in situ, ex vivo, and / or in vivo. It comprises the structure:
[0005] Chinese patent CN201980028704.0 discloses an integrin targeting ligand having serum stability and affinity for αvβ3 integrin and / or αvβ5 integrin, and suitable for conjugation to a transported molecule, such as an oligonucleotide-based therapeutic agent (e.g., an RNAi agent), to facilitate delivery of the transported molecule to cells and tissues, such as tumor cells, which express integrin αvβ3, integrin αvβ5, or both integrin αvβ3 and integrin αvβ5, comprising the structure:
[0006] Currently, research on integrins as targeting ligands is still very scarce. The development of new integrin ligands is of great value and significance for drug delivery and disease treatment.

[0132] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "enantiomer" or "optical isomer" refers to stereoisomers that are mirror images of one another.
[0133] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "cis-trans isomers" or "geometric isomers" arises from the inability to rotate freely about double bonds or single bonds forming ring carbon atoms.
[0134] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "diastereomer" refers to stereoisomers that have two or more chiral centers and that are not mirror images of each other.
[0135] Unless otherwise indicated, "(+)" indicates dextrorotatory, "(-)" indicates levorotatory, and "(±)" indicates racemic.

[0139] Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers, as well as D and L isomers, can be prepared by chiral synthesis or chiral reagents or other conventional techniques. If one enantiomer of a compound of the present invention is desired, it can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization with a chiral auxiliary, wherein the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group is cleaved to provide the pure desired enantiomer. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as an amino group) or an acidic functional group (such as a carboxyl group), diastereomeric salts are formed with an appropriate optically active acid or base, followed by diastereomeric resolution by conventional methods known in the art, and then the pure enantiomers are recovered. In addition, the separation of enantiomers and diastereomers is typically accomplished using chromatography, which employs a chiral stationary phase and is optionally combined with a chemical derivatization method (e.g., formation of carbamates from amines).
[0140] The compounds of the present invention may contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes on one or more atoms constituting the compound. For example, the compound may be labeled with a radioactive isotope, such as tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I), or C-14 (14C). As another example, deuterated drugs may be formed by replacing hydrogen with heavy hydrogen. The bond formed by deuterium and carbon is stronger than the bond formed by ordinary hydrogen and carbon. Compared to non-deuterated drugs, deuterated drugs have advantages such as reduced toxic side effects, increased drug stability, enhanced therapeutic efficacy, and extended drug biological half-life. All isotopic composition changes of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are included within the scope of the present invention.

[0142] The term "substituted" means that any one or more hydrogen atoms on a particular atom are replaced by a substituent, which may include deuterium and hydrogen variants, as long as the valence state of the particular atom is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is oxygen (i.e., =O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are replaced. Oxygen substitution does not occur on aromatic groups. The term "optionally substituted" means that it may be substituted or unsubstituted, and unless otherwise specified, the type and number of substituents can be any on the basis of chemical achievable.
[0143] When any variable (e.g., R) occurs more than once in a compound's composition or structure, its definition at each occurrence is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 0-2 Rs, the group may be optionally substituted with up to two Rs, with each occurrence of R being an independent choice. Furthermore, combinations of substituents and / or their variants are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
[0144] When the number of a linking group is 0, such as -(CRR)0-, it means that the linking group is a single bond.
[0145] When the number of a substituent is 0, it means that the substituent does not exist, for example, -A-(R)0 means that the structure is actually -A.
[0146] When a substituent is vacant, it means that the substituent does not exist. For example, when X in AX is vacant, it means that the structure is actually A.
[0147] When one of the variables is selected from a single bond, it means that the two groups it connects are directly connected. For example, when L in ALZ represents a single bond, it means that the structure is actually AZ.
[0148] When a substituent's bond can cross-link to two or more atoms in a ring, the substituent can be bonded to any atom in the ring, e.g. The substituent R can be substituted at any position on the cyclohexyl group or cyclohexadiene. When the listed substituent does not specify the atom through which it is bonded to the substituted group, the substituent can be bonded through any atom. For example, a pyridyl substituent can be bonded to the substituted group through any carbon atom on the pyridine ring.
[0149] When the linking group is listed without specifying its linking direction, its linking direction is arbitrary, for example, The connecting group L is -MW-, in which case -MW- can connect ring A and ring A in the same direction as the reading order from left to right to form You can also connect ring A and ring A in the opposite direction of reading from left to right to form Combinations of linkers, substituents, and / or variations thereof are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

[0151] In some embodiments, the αβ ligand is linked to the transported molecule without the use of an additional linker. In some embodiments, the αβ ligand is designed with a readily available linker to facilitate attachment to the transported molecule. In some embodiments, when two or more RNAi agents are included in the composition, the two or more RNAi agents can be linked to their respective targeting groups using the same linker. In some embodiments, when two or more RNAi agents are included in the composition, different linkers are used to link the two or more RNAi agents to their respective targeting groups.
[0152] Unless otherwise specified, when a group has one or more connectable sites, any one or more sites of the group can be connected to other groups through chemical bonds. When the chemical bond connection mode is non-positional and there are H atoms at the connectable sites, when the chemical bond is connected, the number of H atoms at the site will decrease accordingly with the number of connected chemical bonds, and become a group with a corresponding valence. The chemical bond connecting the site to other groups can be a straight solid bond. Straight dotted key or wavy lines For example, the straight solid bond in -OCH3 indicates that it is connected to other groups through the oxygen atom in the group; The straight dashed bond in the group indicates that the two ends of the nitrogen atom in the group are connected to other groups; The wavy lines in the phenyl group represent the connection to other groups through the carbon atoms at positions 1 and 2 in the phenyl group.
