Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicine and specifically provides a series of preparation methods of camptothecin-7-ethylamine derivatives and their application in the treatment of tumors. Background Art

[0002] Camptothecin is a natural product extracted from the Chinese plant Camptotheca acuminata. It inhibits topoisomerase Top1, particularly the Top1-DNA complex. Camptothecin has significant therapeutic effects on gastric, esophageal, lung, and bladder cancers, making it a broad-spectrum anti-tumor drug. Irinotecan and Topotecan have been approved in many countries for the treatment of various cancers. Belotecan, another camptothecin derivative, has been approved in South Korea for the treatment of SCLC and ovarian cancer. The main drawbacks of camptothecin anti-tumor drugs are their toxicity, poor solubility, and the development of drug resistance in tumor cells.

[0097] For oral administration in the form of tablets or capsules, the active drug component can be mixed with non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binders (e.g., pregelatinized corn starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e.g., lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, sorbitol and other reducing and non-reducing sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium sulfate or dibasic calcium phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc or silica, stearic acid, sodium stearyl fumarate, glyceryl behenate, calcium stearate, etc.); disintegrants (e.g., potato starch or sodium starch glycolate); or wetting agents (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate), coloring and flavoring agents, gelatin, sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums (such as acacia, tragacanth or alginates), buffer salts, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, etc. For oral administration in liquid form, the drug component can be combined with a non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier (e.g., ethanol, glycerol, water), an anti-settling agent (e.g., sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or hydrogenated edible fats), an emulsifier (e.g., lecithin or gum arabic), a non-aqueous carrier (e.g., almond oil, oily esters, ethanol or fractionated vegetable oils), a preservative (e.g., methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid), etc. Stabilizers such as antioxidants (BHA, BHT, propyl citric acid, sodium ascorbate, citric acid) can also be added to stabilize the dosage form.

[0098] Tablets comprising the active compound can be coated by methods well known in the art. The compositions of the present disclosure comprising the compound of formula I as the active compound can also be introduced into beads, microspheres or microcapsules, for example, constructed from polyglycolic acid / lactic acid (PGLA). Liquid preparations for oral administration can take the form of, for example, solutions, syrups, emulsions or suspensions, or they can be presented as dry products reconstituted with water or other suitable excipients before use. Preparations for oral administration can be suitably formulated to release the active compound in a controlled or delayed manner.

[0099] The term "treating" includes inhibiting, alleviating, preventing or eliminating one or more symptoms or side effects associated with the disease, condition or disorder being treated.

[0100] The term "inhibit" is used relative to a control. One skilled in the art will readily determine the appropriate control for each experiment. For example, a reduced response in a subject or cell treated with a compound is compared to a response in a subject or cell not treated with the compound.

[0101] The term "pharmaceutical composition" means a composition comprising a compound of the present disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable ingredient selected from the following depending on the mode of administration and the nature of the dosage form, including but not limited to: carriers, diluents, adjuvants, excipients, preservatives, fillers, disintegrants, wetting agents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, fragrances, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents, lubricants, dispersants, temperature-sensitive materials, temperature regulators, adhesives, stabilizers, suspending agents, etc.

[0102] The term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to a non-toxic but sufficient amount of a drug or medicament that can achieve the desired effect. In embodiments of the present invention, when a patient is treated according to the present invention, the amount of a given drug depends on many factors, such as a specific dosage regimen, the type of disease or condition and its severity, the uniqueness (e.g., body weight) of the patient or host in need of treatment, but, according to specific surrounding circumstances, including, for example, the specific drug, route of administration, the condition to be treated, and the patient or host to be treated, the dosage can be conventionally determined by methods known in the art. Typically, with respect to the dosage used for adult treatment, the dosage is typically in the range of 0.02-5000 mg / day, for example, about 1-1500 mg / day. The desired dosage can be conveniently expressed as a single dose, or simultaneously administered (or in a short period of time) or in divided doses at appropriate intervals, such as two, three, four, or more divided doses per day. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, although the above-mentioned dosage range has been given, the specific effective amount can be appropriately adjusted according to the patient's condition and in conjunction with the physician's diagnosis.

[0103] The term "antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)" refers to a small molecule drug with biological activity connected to a monoclonal antibody through a chemical link. The monoclonal antibody acts as a carrier to transport the small molecule drug into the target cells.

[0104] As used herein, the terms "reduce," "inhibit," "mitigate," or "reduce" are used relative to a control. One skilled in the art will readily determine the appropriate control for each experiment. For example, a reduced response in a subject or cell treated with a compound is compared to a response in a subject or cell not treated with the compound.

[0105] Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials and equipment used in the specific embodiments of the present invention are all known products and are obtained by purchasing commercial products.

[0261] Example 46: Tumor Cell Growth Inhibition Activity

[0262] Human esophageal cancer cells OE33 (human breast adenocarcinoma cells SK-BR-3, or human gastric cancer cells NCI-N87) were cultured in RPMI1640 (Cellmax) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Cellmax). Tumor cells in the exponentially growing phase were diluted with culture medium to 1×105 cells / mL and 100 μL was added to each well of a 96-well cell culture plate. The plates were then returned to a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for overnight incubation.

Three replicates were set for each concentration. For negative controls and blank controls without compound addition, 2 μL of the dilution was added to each well. After sample addition, the cells were returned to a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator and incubated for 72 hours. After incubation, the cell culture plates were removed, the culture medium was aspirated and discarded with a pipette, and 100 μL of culture medium containing 10% CCK-8 was added to each well. The cells were incubated at 37°C for 3 hours. After incubation, the plates were removed, protected from light, and placed on an ELISA plate. The absorbance was measured at 630 nm as the reference wavelength and 450 nm as the measurement wavelength. Based on the absorbance values, IC50 values ​​were calculated using a four-parameter regression in GraphPad (Table 1).
