Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology and specifically relates to an EZH2 ligand derivative with anti-tumor activity, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound. It also relates to a method for preparing the compound and its use in preparing a drug for treating and / or preventing tumors. Background Art

[0002] Recent advances in cancer immunotherapy have emphasized the immune system's ability to control tumors, yet only a small fraction of patients respond to current immunotherapies. Emerging evidence suggests that targeting epigenetic factors that promote tumor progression and suppress immune cell activity can enhance anti-tumor immunity by reshaping the tumor microenvironment (TME). Recent studies have uncovered pleiotropic functions of the enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) in both tumor and immune cells, suggesting that EZH2 inhibition offers a promising approach to enhance existing immunotherapies and improve outcomes for patients with certain cancers.

[0003] EZH2 is a histone methyltransferase and catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). EZH2 catalyzes the mono-, di-, and tri-methylation of lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3), a histone mark associated with compact chromatin and transcriptional repression. EZH2 plays a role in the normal biology of multiple cell types, including immune cells. Dysfunctional EZH2 has been implicated in the development and progression of multiple cancer types in mice and humans and can promote immune evasion by inhibiting intratumoral antigen presentation, immune cell migration, and enhancing the suppressive activity of CD4+ T regulatory cells (Tregs). These functions make EZH2 an attractive therapeutic target that could complement existing immunotherapy approaches.

[0004] Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional small molecules in which the target protein ligand and the E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand are linked together by a linker to form a triplet compound. As a potential therapeutic approach, proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) can target specific proteins for degradation. Proteolysis targeting chimeras are specific biological functional molecules, usually consisting of a compound molecule that binds to the protein target, a ligand that recruits the E3 ubiquitin ligase, and a linker. PROTAC-induced selective polyubiquitination of the target protein and subsequent degradation on the proteasome. Compared with traditional small molecule inhibitors, PROTACs have multiple advantages, including the ability to exert their effects without binding to the active site of the target protein, the ability to degrade difficult-to-drug targets, and their event-driven and catalytic nature. They can act at lower doses, and therefore have great potential, particularly in the development of anti-cancer drugs. Summary of the Invention

[0173] Example 36 Preparation of EZH2 Series 9 Compound E-4W-2PB5(T) (Series 9, n=2)

[0174]

[0175] Compound E-4W-2PB5 (series 8, n=2) was dissolved in ethyl acetate and an excess of 5M / L HCl in ethyl acetate was added with stirring. TLC confirmed the complete reaction. The reaction system was then distilled under reduced pressure and the pH was adjusted to 9-10 with saturated sodium bicarbonate. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was dried to yield E-4W-2PB5T.

[0176] By adopting the preparation method of Example 29, with the same feed ratio and operation, using compounds E-4W-3PB5 (series 8, n=3) and E-4W-4PB5 (series 8, n=4) as raw materials, compounds E-4W-3PB5T and E-4W-4PB5T of series 9 can be obtained.

[0177] The synthesis of series 10 compounds was carried out by referring to the synthesis method of series 5 compounds to obtain compounds MP-EC-2, MP-EC-3, and MP-EC-4, respectively.

[0178] Example 37

[0179] SU-DHL-6 cells in logarithmic phase growth were digested with trypsin and plated in 96-well plates at a density of 5000 cells / well. 24 hours later, they were treated with a gradient of compound concentrations (0–30 μM). The number of viable cells was determined 48 hours after administration using CCK-8 at a wavelength of 450 nm. IC was calculated using GraphPad Prism 8.0.1. 50 The results are shown in Table 1.

[0180] Experimental results show that compounds based on thalidomide (Tha) are less effective. The toxicity of this series of compounds increases with increasing chain length, but the activity is low when the chain length is 5 PEG. In addition, the cytotoxicity of PROTACs based on Bestatin derivatives (including B4 and B5) is generally better than that of PROTACs based on thalidomide. The cytotoxicity of PROTACs based on VHL is relatively low, but the activity of E-5CH2-V1 is much higher than that of other compounds. Among the molecules based on MDM2 ligands, the cytotoxicity of the compound is closely related to its chain length, and E-3P / 4P-MDM2 has stronger cytotoxicity.

[0181] Example 38 Western Blot Detection of Changes in Related Proteins

[0182] (1) Digest and collect cells that have grown logarithmically and have reached a confluence of 90%, add fresh culture medium to adjust the cell concentration, and then count them using a cell counting plate. Evenly inoculate the cells in a large dish and culture them in an incubator for 24 hours. Replace the culture medium containing drugs and continue to culture them in an incubator for 48 hours. After waiting for the end of culture, collect the cells and wash them twice with PBS. After washing, add an appropriate amount of RIPA lysis buffer according to the number of cells. Add phosphatase inhibitors and whole enzyme inhibitors to the lysis buffer in advance, and add PMSF in time. PMSF is an irreversible inhibitor of serine proteases that can inhibit serine proteases (trypsin and chymosin), as well as cysteine ​​proteases and acetylcholinesterase, thereby preventing protein degradation. After adding the lysis buffer, use a vortex oscillator to mix the cells and lyse the proteins on ice to prevent protein degradation. Lyse on ice for 20 minutes. After lysis, use a 4℃ centrifuge to centrifuge at 11500 rpm for 10 minutes. Wait for the centrifugation to end and aspirate the supernatant, which is protein; (2) This experiment uses the BCA method to detect protein content. Under alkaline conditions, the protein converts Cu 2+ Reduction to Cu + , Cu +It forms a purple-blue complex with the BCA reagent, measures its absorbance at 562 nm, and compares it with the standard curve to calculate the concentration of the protein to be tested; (3) Add the corresponding volume of 6× Loading buffer to the quantified protein sample according to its volume. Before use, add DTT to the 6× Loading buffer. DTT can open the disulfide bond on the cys, making it a linear peptide, which is convenient for the antibody to recognize and bind to specific sites. Use a vortex oscillator to mix the sample and place it in a 100℃ water bath for 5-10 minutes to fully denature the protein. If the amino acid composition of a protein contains a large number of hydrophobic amino acids (tryptophan W, alanine A, valine V, leucine L, isoleucine I, proline P, phenylalanine F, etc.), the protein is very hydrophobic and will easily form aggregates after being boiled. For such a protein rich in hydrophobic amino acids, it can be incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, or 60°C for 30 minutes instead of boiling in a 100°C water bath for 5-10 minutes; (4) Prepare SDS-PAGE gel and load the prepared sample; (5) Place the PVDF membrane in anhydrous methanol for 30 seconds to activate the PVDF membrane. Then soak the membrane in wet transfer solution. Place the sponge, filter paper and PVDF membrane in the white side of the electrotransfer clamp in sequence, and then place the gel, filter paper and sponge in sequence to make a sandwich structure. Avoid bubbles between the gel and the membrane. Insert the sandwich structure into the electrotransfer tank and place the electrotransfer device in an ice box mixed with ice and water to avoid excessive heat generated during the transfer process, which may cause transfer failure. Use 300mA to transfer the protein for 2 hours; (6) After the protein transfer is completed, open the sandwich structure, stain the membrane with Lichunhong to check the transfer effect and use pure water to clean the membrane. Cut the membrane according to the molecular weight of the protein, then dry the PVDF membrane with filter paper and use methanol for secondary activation again. After activation, clean the surface methanol with pure water, then put it into 5% skim milk and block it on a shaker for 2 hours; (7) Use TBST solution to clean the milk on the blocked membrane. Use 5% BSA liquid to dilute the primary antibody according to the dilution ratio specified in the antibody manual to prepare the required antibody. Then place the PVDF membrane in TBST on a wet box for primary antibody incubation, and place the wet box in a 4℃ refrigerator overnight to incubate the primary antibody; (8) Remove the wet box and wash the membrane three times with TBST on a shaker, each time for 5 minutes. Select different secondary antibodies according to the primary antibody manual. Place the washed membrane on the wet box again and add secondary antibody liquid and block it at room temperature for two hours; (9) Expose the target band using a gel imager.

[0183] The experimental results are as follows Figure 1-2The CRBN series of compounds showed poor degradation of EZH2, with only E-4P-Tha and E-4W-3P-B5 showing specific degradation. Within the VHL2 series, with the exception of E-5CH2-V2, the degradation of the other compounds was poor. Due to the high toxicity of VHL1, the administered concentration was reduced after 48 hours of exposure. Furthermore, the degradation activity of the compounds was examined at 72 hours. Results showed slight degradation of E-5CH2-V1 after 72 hours of administration. Within the VHL series, E-5CH2-V2 and E-5CH2-V1 affected EZH2 expression, but their degradation capacity was limited. Within the MDM2 series of compounds, with the exception of EP-MDM2, all other compounds showed varying degrees of EZH2 degradation.

[0184] Example 39 Detection of cell apoptosis and MMP by flow cytometry

[0185] (1) Mitochondrial membrane potential: Take 100,000-600,000 cells and resuspend them in 0.5 mL of cell culture medium, which may contain serum and phenol red. Add 0.5 mL of JC-1 staining working solution and mix by inverting several times. Incubate in a cell culture incubator at 37°C for 20 minutes. During the incubation period, prepare an appropriate amount of JC-1 staining buffer (1X) by adding 4 mL of distilled water to every 1 mL of JC-1 staining buffer (5X) and place it in an ice bath. After the incubation at 37°C, centrifuge at 600g for 3-4 minutes at 4°C to pellet the cells. Discard the supernatant, taking care not to remove the cells as much as possible. Wash twice with JC-1 staining buffer (1X): Add 1 mL of JC-1 staining buffer (1X) to resuspend the cells, centrifuge at 600g for 3-4 minutes at 4°C to pellet the cells, and discard the supernatant. Resuspend the cells in 1 mL of JC-1 Staining Buffer (1X). Centrifuge at 600g for 3-4 minutes at 4°C to pellet the cells. Discard the supernatant. Resuspend the cells in an appropriate amount of JC-1 Staining Buffer (1X) and analyze using a flow cytometer.

[0186] (2) Apoptosis: After stimulation of cell apoptosis, centrifuge at 1000 g for 5 min, discard the supernatant, collect the cells, gently resuspend the cells in PBS and count them. Take 50,000-100,000 resuspended cells, centrifuge at 1000 g for 5 min, discard the supernatant. Add 5 μL of Annexin V-FITC and mix gently. Add 10 μL of propidium iodide staining solution and mix gently. Incubate at room temperature (20-25°C) in the dark for 10-20 min, then place in an ice bath.

[0187] The experimental results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, E-3P-MDM2 can significantly induce mitochondrial depolarization at high concentrations, and as time goes by, the compound significantly induces cell apoptosis. This also indicates that the compound induces SU-DHL-6 cell apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway.
