Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of synthetic medicinal chemistry in new drug research and development, relates to diaryl-β-lactam compounds, and particularly relates to novel chiral diaryl-β-lactam HDAC / Tubulin bifunctional inhibitors with significant anti-tumor activity, preparation methods, anti-tumor activities in vitro and in vivo, and the use of such compounds, their acceptable pharmaceutical salts, or compound drugs containing them as one of the components in the preparation of drugs for preventing and treating tumor-related diseases. Background Art

[0002] Microtubules are the main components of the cytoskeleton, are essential for cell mitosis, and also play an indispensable role in maintaining cell morphology, cell movement, cell division and proliferation. Malignant tumor cells have extremely active mitosis and metastasis. Therefore, targeting microtubules and disrupting the dynamic balance between tubulin polymerization and depolymerization can selectively inhibit the division and proliferation of tumor cells (Science 2013, 339, 587-590). Although some significant progress has been made in the research on tubulin aggregation inhibitors acting on colchicine, especially the structural modification research on Combretastatin A-4, such as the disodium phosphate of Combretastatin (CA-4P) and the disodium phosphate of BNC105 (BNC105P) have entered phase I and phase II clinical trials respectively, studies have shown that the clinical effects of these drugs are poor and they have certain toxic side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, visual impairment and headache. In addition, there are also deficiencies in prolonging the survival of patients. So far, no such drug has been approved for marketing (J. Med. Chem. 2016, 59, 8685-8711). Therefore, developing tubulin aggregation inhibitors with better anti-tumor activity, higher selectivity and lower toxic side effects is the main direction for the future research and development of such drugs.

[0003] As a key enzyme regulating cell epigenetics, histone deacetylases (HDACs) are highly expressed in multiple tumor cell lines. It is highly correlated with the growth, proliferation, and invasion of tumor cells and is considered one of the most promising targets for cancer treatment (Nat. Rev. Drug Discovery 2012, 11, 384 - 400). The marketed pan-HDAC inhibitors are mainly used for the treatment of hematological malignancies and have poor efficacy in solid tumors. Therefore, HDAC inhibition is often combined with other anti-tumor drugs. Although the combination drug mode can produce a synergistic anti-tumor effect, it will also cause complex and unpredictable pharmacokinetics, poor patient compliance, and even drug-drug interactions. The "one drug, multiple targets" drug mode can effectively overcome these disadvantages and is an ideal alternative treatment mode to traditional "single target, single drug" and combination drug therapy (J. Med. Chem. 2005, 48, 6523 - 6543). A large number of research reports have proven that the design of HDAC dual-target drugs is reasonable and feasible and is also obvious for improving the efficacy of cancer treatment.

[0004] Preclinical studies have shown that the microtubule polymerization inhibitor (vincristine) and the HDAC inhibitor SAHA can produce a synergistic anti-tumor effect in the combined treatment of leukemia. In the MOLT-4 nude mouse xenograft tumor model, the tumor inhibition rate of the vincristine and SAHA combination administration group was significantly higher than that of the two single-drug groups, and the combination administration group also greatly prolonged the survival time of the mice (J. Hematol. Oncol. 2017, 8, 82). In addition, mechanism studies have also shown that microtubulin and HDAC are interrelated and synergistic in the occurrence and development of tumors. In early studies, HDAC mainly catalyzed the deacetylation of histone lysine residues on chromosomes in the nucleus. However, in fact, the catalytic substrates of HDAC are also widely present in the cytoplasm, such as α-tubulin and HSP90. Overexpressed HDAC in tumor cells can cause excessive deacetylation of α-tubulin in the cytoplasm, thereby accelerating the aggregation and disassembly of microtubules and promoting the migration and invasion of tumor cells. Microtubules themselves also have the kinetic characteristics of aggregation and disassembly, and this synergistic process between microtubules and HDAC is very obvious in highly proliferating malignant tumor cells (J. Med. Chem. 2020, 63, 23 - 39). These mechanism studies and the data results of preclinical studies provide a reasonable basis for the design of HDAC / Tubulin dual-target inhibitors.

[0110] Example 10 In Vitro Tubulin Self-Assembly Experiment

[0111] The inhibitory effect of the preferred compound 5a on microtubule aggregation in vitro was tested by turbidimetry. The detection kit was purchased from Cytoskeleton, Inc., USA. The operation steps were as follows: The microtubule aggregation system (0.1 M PIPES, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM GTP, 1 mM EGTA, and 3.4 M glycerol) with pH = 6.6 was pre-incubated on ice in advance. Different concentrations of the test compound 5a were added, and the Colchicine treatment group was set as the positive control and the DMSO (4%, v / v) treatment group was set as the negative control. After adding tubulin (10 mM) to the above system, it was immediately transferred and placed at 37 °C for the aggregation reaction while keeping the temperature constant. The absorbance was measured at 340 nm every 1 minute using a spectrophotometer (Synergy H4 Hybrid) for a total of 30 minutes, and then an absorbance curve was plotted (as Figure 1 shown). The results showed that compound 5a could significantly inhibit microtubule aggregation, and its IC 50 was 5.4 μM (as shown in Table 3).

[0114] Example 11 In Vitro HDAC Inhibitory Activity Test

[0115] The inhibitory activity of the compound on HDACs was tested by enzyme-linked immunofluorescence assay. All enzymatic reactions were carried out at 37 °C for 30 minutes. The compound was diluted to different concentration ranges with 5% DMSO. 5 μL of the compound solution was added to 50 μL of the reaction mixture containing 25 mM Tris, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mg / ml BSA, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, HDAC, and its substrate at pH = 8.0. After the enzymatic reaction was completed, the fluorescence intensity was detected on a SpectraMax M5 microplate reader at an excitation wavelength of 350 - 360 nm and an emission wavelength of 450 - 460 nm. Finally, the IC 50 value of the test compound was calculated by non-linear regression fitting after normalization using Prism GraphPad software. The test results are shown in Table 4. Both 5a and 6a could significantly inhibit the activity of HDAC8, and their IC 50The values are 0.177 μM and 0.288 μM respectively. At the same time, both of them have similar inhibitory activities against HDAC1 as HDAC8, while the inhibitory activities against HDAC6 decrease by 6-fold and 8-fold respectively, indicating that these two compounds are class I HDAC inhibitors.
