Abstract
Description
Use of sulfonamide compounds as drugs for treating cancer Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry and relates to the medical use of sulfonamide derivatives, and particularly to the use of a sulfonamide compound as an anti-neuroblastoma drug for preparing a cancer treatment drug. Background Art
[0002] Neuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most common extracranial malignant tumors in children. It originates from the neural crest cells of the sympathetic nervous system and is prone to occur in the adrenal glands (Non-Patent Document 1). It has an insidious onset and is prone to metastasis. The mortality rate of high-risk cases is high, seriously threatening the life and health of children. Clinically, there are great differences in the prognosis of children at different stages. In low-risk children under the age of 18 months, the tumor often regresses naturally or can be cured with chemotherapy alone; however, the prognosis of children with tumors with unfavorable pathological types, risk factors such as MYCN gene amplification, 11q abnormalities, or distant metastasis is extremely poor (Non-Patent Document 2). Although current treatment options include comprehensive measures such as surgery, chemoradiotherapy, and biological therapy, there are still disadvantages such as difficulty in eradicating small lesions, large toxic side effects, and easy drug resistance, which greatly reduce the treatment effect and are a major problem in clinical pediatric surgery. Therefore, the development of a new, safe and effective drug for the treatment of neuroblastoma is urgent.
[0003] WD40 repeat domain protein 5 (WDR5) belongs to the WD40 protein family and is a protein containing a circular seven-bladed β-propeller domain. WDR5 is highly conserved across different vertebrates, with approximately 90% sequence identity. WDR5 was first discovered to regulate osteoblast differentiation and promote bone formation during skeletal development. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have revealed the biological functions of WDR5, finding that it not only regulates biological behaviors such as cell proliferation, division, apoptosis, signal transduction, gene transcription, and DNA damage repair under physiological conditions, but is also highly correlated with the occurrence and development of various tumors, making it a popular choice as a target for tumor treatment.
[0004] WDR5's most important function in vivo is epigenetic regulation. As a member of the histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex, it regulates histone methylation levels and activates target gene transcription. Dysfunction of WDR5 can upregulate the expression of multiple tumor-promoting factors and activate tumor-related signaling pathways, thereby enhancing tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, and drug resistance, driving the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). WDR5 also acts as a cofactor for the myelocytokine viral oncogene homolog (Myc). As a transcription factor, Myc regulates the transcription of downstream genes by binding to the promoter regions of target genes. This function is limited by Myc's ability to localize to chromatin. Studies have found that approximately 80% of Myc binding to its downstream target gene sequences requires WDR5. Disruption of the WDR5-Myc binding significantly diminishes Myc's ability to induce pluripotent stem cells, thus making WDR5 a key player in Myc-driven tumorigenesis. This mechanism has been confirmed in a variety of Myc-related tumors. In glioblastoma and neuroblastoma, WDR5 can promote the binding of Myc to the coactivator protein-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) promoter, enhancing the proliferation and self-renewal ability of tumor cells. In neuroblastoma, WDR5 co-localizes with N-Myc in the double minute homology gene 2 (MDM2) promoter region, activating MDM2 transcription and inhibiting the expression of the tumor suppressor protein p53. In cholangiocarcinoma, WDR5 maintains high levels of HIF-1α in the body through epigenetic regulation, while also increasing HIF-1α expression through Myc in the transcriptional process, promoting EMT, metastasis, and invasion of tumor cells.
[0005] There are two interaction sites on the surface of WDR5: the WDR5 binding domain (WBM) and the WDR5 interaction domain (WIN). The WBM is a shallow, relatively hydrophobic binding pocket primarily composed of Asn225, Tyr228, Leu240, Phe266, Val268, and Gln289. Proteins such as retinoblastoma binding protein 5 (RBBP5), C-myc, L-myc, N-myc, and KAT8-regulated NSL complex subunit 2 (KANSL2) all interact with WDR5 through this site. The WIN is an arginine-binding pocket composed of amino acids Ala65, Ser91, Asp107, Phe133, Tyr191, Tyr260, and Phe263. Proteins such as mixed lineage leukemia 1-4 (MLL1-4), KAT8-regulated NSL complex subunit 1 (KANSL1), H3, methylphosphoguanosine phosphate binding protein (MBD3), and kinesin heavy chain member 2A (KIF2A) have been reported to interact with WDR5 through this site. Key biological functions of WDR5 rely on the mediation of these two sites, such as direct binding with RBBP5 and SET1 / MLL, and indirect binding with ash2 (lack, small, or homolog)-like (Drosophila) protein (ASH2L) and dpy-30 homolog protein (DPY30), which then assemble into a complex with histone methyltransferase catalytic activity, epigenetically regulating the transcription of target genes (non-patent literature 4). Furthermore, WDR5 interacts with the transcription factor Myc, recruiting Myc to chromatin and enhancing its binding to target gene promoter regions, greatly enhancing its tumor-promoting function (non-patent literature 5, 6). Therefore, targeting the WBM or WIN sites on the surface of WDR5 to design specific protein-protein interaction blockers has become the main strategy for the development of new WDR5 inhibitors.
[0006] Currently, it has been reported that protein-protein interaction blockers designed and developed for the WIN site of WDR5 have strong affinity and good drugability, but their application is limited to the treatment of MLL gene translocation rearrangement leukemia and is not effective for solid tumors. There are few studies on WBM site blockers. Stephen's research team at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the United States has conducted multiple rounds of optimization and modification, and the obtained compound No. 12 can specifically bind to the WBM site and interact with the K of WDR5. D The value was 0.10±0.01 μM (Non-patent Documents 7 and 8), but its antitumor effect was not evaluated.
[0007] In summary, the design and synthesis of highly active candidate compounds that specifically block the interaction between WDR5 and Myc for the treatment of diseases such as neuroblastoma has important research significance and application prospects, and is an important direction for potential drug targets and the search for lead compounds.

[0212] Test Example 3: Structural analysis of the complex between some compounds disclosed herein and WDR5
[0213] The complex structure of some compounds 2 in the present disclosure was elucidated by the following method:
[0214] Protein crystal preparation: WDR5 expression vector-containing Rosetta2 competent cells were cultured in a 37°C shaking incubator until the OD value reached 0.6-0.8. IPTG was added to a final concentration of 0.1 mM and cultured at 16°C for 20 hours before harvesting. Cells were disrupted using a high-pressure cell disruptor and centrifuged at high speed for 30 minutes. The supernatant was collected after adding 10 mL of Ni-NTA affinity chromatography gel resin and binding was allowed to proceed at 4°C with stirring for 1 hour. The supernatant was then centrifuged and treated with a decontamination buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM imidazole, 1 mM TCEP) and an elution buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 300 mM imidazole, 1 mM TCEP) to obtain the initial target protein. High-purity WDR5 protein was then obtained using anion exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography columns, respectively. The sample was then collected and protein purity was verified by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
[0215] The obtained highly pure WDR5 protein was concentrated to 11 mg / mL using an ultrafiltration tube and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 30 minutes. Crystallization buffer was prepared: 0.1 M Bis-Tris, pH 5.8, 0.2 M ammonium acetate, and 30% (w / v) pEG3350. Crystallization conditions were optimized using a 24-well hanging drop plate. 1 mL of buffer was used per well. The two solutions were mixed at a ratio of 1.5 μL crystallization buffer and 1.5 μL protein solution. After 2-3 days in an 18°C incubator, crystals grew in a flake-like shape. Crystals of the WDR5-active compound complex were obtained by immersion.
[0216] Detection and analysis: The diffraction data of the crystals were collected at the microcrystal complex beamline BL18U1 of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). The collected data were processed using HKL3000, including steps such as data point selection, indexing, correction, integration, data merging and normalization, to generate MTZ files. The WDR5 empty protein crystal structure resolved by our laboratory was used as a template, and the Phaser module in CCP4 was used for molecular replacement to generate the initial structural coordinates. COOT was used for model construction and optimization, and then Phenix was used to further optimize the model, and the R factor in the structural parameters was repeatedly reduced to less than 0.25. The results are shown in Figure 1.
[0217] Test Example 4: In vitro efficacy test of some compounds of the present disclosure on acute myeloid leukemia, hepatoma cell lines and pancreatic cancer cell lines
[0218] Compound preparation: Accurately weigh the compound and dissolve it in DMSO to a 10 mM stock solution for later use. Dilute the compound to a final concentration of 10 μM in MEM or RPMI 1640 medium with a final DMSO concentration of 0.1%. Transfer the compound to a 96-well plate for subsequent experiments.
[0219] Cell Counting Kit-8 test (CCK-8): Hep3B, Huh-7, MV4-11, and Mia-Paca2 cells were seeded into 96-well cell culture plates at a seeding volume of 2 x 10 cells per well. 4 Each well was incubated with the corresponding compound and DMSO control for 72 hours. Then, 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent was added to each well and incubated at 37°C for another 2 hours. The absorbance of the cells was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader.
[0220] Detection and analysis: Collect the absorbance data corresponding to the cells in each well and calculate the corresponding inhibition rate. See Table 3 for details.

[0227] Test Example 6: Efficacy test of some compounds disclosed herein on the IMR32 CDX mouse neuroblastoma model
[0228] This test case studied the efficacy of Compound 1 and Compound 2 in a neuroblastoma model. Human neuroblastoma IMR32 cells were cultured in a monolayer in vitro and routinely digested and passaged twice a week using trypsin-EDTA. When the cell saturation reached 80%-90%, the cells were harvested, counted, and the inoculation concentration was adjusted to 10,000,000 cells / animal. The cells were inoculated subcutaneously on the upper right back of the animal and allowed to grow until the tumor grew to approximately 120 mm. 3 Animals were randomly divided into groups and dosed according to body weight and tumor volume. Animal body weight and tumor volume were measured twice a week. Efficacy data were expressed as tumor volume (TV), tumor inhibition rate (TGI), and relative volume (T / C). Specific experimental data are as follows:

Compared with the vehicle control group, the low, medium, and high dose groups of the disclosed compounds all demonstrated significant antitumor efficacy with a favorable dose-response relationship, with TGIs reaching 85.5%, 107.1%, and 107.1%, respectively. In some animals in the high and medium dose groups, tumors completely disappeared in the late stages of dosing. This demonstrates the significant efficacy of the disclosed compounds in the IMR32 human neuroblastoma model.
[0233] Test Example 7: Efficacy test of some compounds disclosed herein on Hep3B CDX mouse hepatoma model
[0234] This test case studied the efficacy of compound 2 in a liver cancer model. Human liver cancer Hep3B cells were cultured in a monolayer in vitro and routinely digested and passaged twice a week using trypsin-EDTA. When the cell saturation reached 80%-90%, the cells were harvested, counted, and the inoculation concentration was adjusted to 10,000,000 cells / animal. The cells were inoculated subcutaneously on the upper right back of the animal and allowed to grow until the tumor grew to approximately 110 mm. 3 Animals were randomly divided into groups and dosed according to body weight and tumor volume. Animal body weight and tumor volume were measured twice a week. Efficacy data were expressed as tumor volume (TV), tumor inhibition rate (TGI), and relative volume (T / C).

[0242] Test Example 9: Protein Binding Rate Test of Some Compounds Disclosed
[0243] The plasma protein binding rates of Compound 1 and Compound 2 in human plasma were determined using equilibrium dialysis. A semipermeable membrane was used to separate the left and right chambers. A drug-containing protein solution was added to the left chamber, while a blank buffer solution was added to the right chamber. Unbound free drug was allowed to freely pass through the semipermeable membrane. After a certain incubation period, equilibrium was reached between the two chambers, and the free drug concentrations were equal. The plasma protein binding rate was calculated by measuring the drug concentrations on both chambers. The results are shown in Table 8:
