Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of small molecule drugs. Specifically, the present invention provides a small molecule compound that can be used to treat diseases related to the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway. Background of the Invention

[0002] The immune system plays a vital role in controlling and curing many diseases, such as various cancers and diseases caused by viruses. However, cancer cells can often evade or suppress the immune system in some ways, thereby multiplying rapidly. One of the ways is to change the activation and inhibition molecules expressed on immune cells. Blocking inhibitory immune checkpoints, such as PD-1, has proven to be a very effective way to inhibit cancer cells.

[0003] PD-1 is programmed cell death protein-1, also known as CD279. It is mainly expressed in activated T cells and B cells, and its function is to inhibit cell activation, which is a normal self-stabilizing mechanism of the immune system. Because excessive T / B cell activation can cause autoimmune diseases, PD-1 is a protective wall for our body. PD-1 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein composed of 268 amino acids. Its structure mainly includes the outer immunoglobulin variable region, the hydrophobic transmembrane region, and the intracellular region. The intracellular region contains two phosphorylation sites, which are located in the immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibitory motif and the immunoreceptor tyrosine conversion motif, which also proves that PD-1 can reversely regulate T cell receptor-mediated signals. PD-1 has two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, which are expressed differently. PD-L1 is upregulated in a variety of tumor cells. It binds to PD-1 on T cells, inhibits T cell proliferation and activation, and makes T cells inactive, ultimately inducing immune escape.

[0004] PD-1 / PD-L1 plays a reverse immunomodulatory role. When PD-1 binds to PD-L1, it can cause tyrosine polyphosphorylation in the tyrosine conversion motif domain of the T cell immune receptor, and the phosphorylated tyrosine can bind to the phosphatase protein tyrosinase 2 and protein tyrosinase 1. This can hinder the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases, and can also block the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and serine-threonine protein kinase (Akt), thereby inhibiting T lymphocyte proliferation and the secretion of related cytokines. While PD-1 / PD-L1 signals inhibit T cell activation and proliferation, they can also cause the secretion of cytokines interleukin 2, interferon γ, and IL-10. In addition, PD-1 / PD-L1 signals also have similar immune functions on B cells. When PD-1 binds to the B cell antigen receptor, the PD-1 cytoplasmic region interacts with tyrosinase containing the protein tyrosinase 2 binding site, thereby hindering the activation of B cells.

[0005] PD-1 / PD-L1-based immunotherapy is a new generation of immunotherapy that has attracted much attention. In recent years, a series of surprising research results have confirmed that PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitors have strong anti-tumor activity against a variety of tumors. Currently available PD-1 / PD-L1 antibody modulators include BMS's Ninolumab, Merck's Lambrolizumab, and Roche's Atezolizumab. In addition, there are many PD-1 / PD-L1 antibody modulators under development, including Cure Tech's Pidilizumab, GSK's AMP-224, and AstraZeneca's MEDI-4736.

[0006] Although tumor immunotherapy is considered to be a new generation of revolution in cancer treatment after targeted therapy, the PD-1 monoclonal antibodies currently on the market and under development have their own defects, including only being injected and not orally administered, being unstable in the body, being easily decomposed by proteases, being prone to immune cross-reactions, being difficult to purify and having high production costs, etc. Therefore, small molecule regulators of the PD-1 / PD-L1 interaction are a better choice for tumor immunotherapy.

[0007] In summary, there is an urgent need in this field to develop novel small molecule regulators of PD-1 / PD-L1 interaction. Summary of the invention
