Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to, but is not limited to, the field of medicinal chemistry, particularly to a class of macrocyclic polypeptide compounds or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, stereoisomers or solvents and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and also to their use in PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitor drugs. Background Technology
[0002] PD-1 (programmed death receptor 1), also known as CD279 (differentiation cluster 279), is an important immunosuppressive molecule, belonging to the type I transmembrane protein family and the immunoglobulin superfamily. PD-1 contains a proximal membrane immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibitory unit and a long-range membrane tyrosine-based switching motif. It modulates the immune system's response to human cells by downregulating the immune system and by inhibiting T-cell inflammatory activity, thereby promoting self-tolerance. PD-1 is mainly expressed on activated CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells, promoting T-cell maturation. Two ligands for PD-1 have been identified: PD-L1 and PD-L2. PD-L1, also a type I transmembrane protein, is mainly expressed on antigen-presenting cells, B cells, T cells, epithelial cells, muscle cells, and endothelial cells. PD-L1 ligands are abundant in a variety of human cancers. The interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 leads to a reduction in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, a decrease in T-cell receptor-mediated proliferation, and suppression of the immune system in cancer, pregnancy, tissue transplantation, and autoimmune diseases.
[0003] The immune mechanism can be reversed by inhibiting the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1. Evidence suggests that interfering with or blocking this interaction can weaken or eliminate immunosuppression. Currently, the development of PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitors mainly focuses on monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies such as Nivolumab, Lambrolizumab, Atezolizumab, Durvalumab, and Avelumab are already marketed domestically and internationally, showing significant therapeutic effects in treating diseases such as non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma that do not respond well to conventional treatments. Compared to monoclonal antibody research and development, progress in peptide inhibitors in this field has been slow. Therefore, researching and developing inhibitors that inhibit the PD-1 / PD-L1 interaction has significant clinical implications.
[0004] There is still a need in this field for peptide inhibitors with novel structures. Summary of the Invention

[0261] Example 13: Animal Model Experiment of Sepsis
[0262] Several rats were selected for surgical modeling using the classic cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) method. Preoperatively, the rats were anesthetized with ether. After skin preparation, a longitudinal incision of approximately 2-3 cm was made slightly to the right of the midline of the rat's abdomen under aseptic conditions. The abdominal cavity was opened, and the intestines were dissected and exposed. The cecum was ligated approximately 0.5-1 cm from its free distal end. A perforation was then made at the midpoint of the ligated cecum, ensuring complete penetration of the intestinal wall. Subsequently, 1 mL of sterile saline was injected distal to the ligated cecum to expel a small amount of intestinal contents. All intestinal tracts and other internal organs were returned to the abdominal cavity, and the cavity was closed layer by layer by suture, followed by disinfection of the incision. Postoperatively, the rats were returned to sterilized cages and allowed free access to food. One day later, surviving rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, with at least 6 rats in each group. One group served as a blank control (administered with water for injection twice daily), three groups served as experimental drug groups (DSC1923 and DSC2016 groups were administered 700 mg / kg twice daily, and DSC1939 group was administered 1 g / kg once every two days), and one group served as an antibiotic (cefminox) group (administered 200 mg / kg twice daily). Survival rates were assessed over 6 weeks. The survival rate was 14.2% (1 / 7) in the blank control group, 62.5% (6 / 8) in the DSC1923 group, 57.1% (4 / 7) in the DSC2016 group, 57.1% (4 / 7) in the DSC1939 group, and 87.5% (7 / 8) in the antibiotic (cefminox) group. This experiment demonstrates that the compound of the present invention has a therapeutic effect on sepsis in rats. Furthermore, because its mechanism is significantly different from that of antibiotics and it has the effect of inhibiting PD-1 and PD-L1, it can be understood that it exerts its unique pharmacological effect through the immune system.

The viral DNA content in mouse serum was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The viral load was measured after approximately 10 μg of the plasmid had reached a stable plateau. 4 ~10 5 The administration of drugs began when the viral load reached 10 copies / ml. Experimental mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, with at least 6 mice in each group. One group served as the blank control group (administered with water for injection once daily), three groups served as the experimental drug groups (DSC1914 and DSC2027 groups were administered 0.5 mg / kg once daily, and DSC2041 group was administered 0.75 mg / kg every two days), and one group served as the entecavir group (administered 0.07 mg / kg once daily). Viral load was assessed after 20 days. The viral DNA content in mouse serum was detected by PCR; the level in the blank control group remained at 10. 4 ~10 5 copies / ml, DSC1914, DSC2027 and DSC2041 groups were 10 copies / ml, respectively. 3 ~10 4 Level, entecavir group is 10 2 ~10 3 Level. This experiment demonstrates that the compounds of this invention have a therapeutic effect against chronic HBV, possibly exerting their unique pharmacological effects by regulating the immune system through the inhibition of PD-1 and PD-L1.
