Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, and specifically relates to a tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex targeting CRPC based on regulating O-GlcNAc glycosylation and its application. Background Art
[0002] The prostate can secrete a variety of glycoproteins to maintain normal biological functions. The overexpression of glycoproteins in the structure of prostate cancer cells affects the biological processes of cells. These changes in the structure of glycoproteins may become tumor cell biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets.
[0003] It has been reported that compared with healthy subjects, the number of tri- and tetra-antennary N-glycans in the serum and on the surface of tumor cells of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is significantly increased. Furthermore, high expression of highly branched N-glycans enhances malignancy, including cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Therefore, effectively reducing the level of N-glycan branching on the surface of prostate cancer cells will become an important approach for the treatment of androgen-independent prostate cancer.
[0004] Intracellular uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) levels play a key role in the synthesis of highly branched N-glycans, including tri- and tetra-antennary glycans. Increasing intracellular UDP-GlcNAc concentrations increases the expression of highly branched N-glycans on glycoprotein receptors on the surface of tumor cells, enhancing cell invasion and metastasis. Therefore, regulating intracellular UDP-GlcNAc concentrations and reducing the branching level of glycoprotein receptor N-glycans could be an effective approach for enhancing prostate cancer cell sensitivity to cisplatin and for treating CRPC patients. Studies have shown that abnormalities in the hexose biosynthetic pathway (HBP), O-GlcNAc glycosylation, and abnormally high expression of glycosidases UAP1, PGM3, and GFAT are all present in CRPC patients and negatively correlated with survival and disease progression. Therefore, inhibiting and regulating abnormal glycosylation in tumor cells could effectively restore cellular function.
[0005] Platinum complexes play a significant role in cancer chemotherapy, but the clinical application of divalent platinum (Pt(II)) drugs has been limited by their toxic side effects and drug resistance. In recent years, tetravalent platinum (Pt(IV)) anti-tumor drugs have become a research and development focus. Pt(IV) prodrugs are activated upon entry into tumor cells and possess unique DNA binding abilities. Modification of the axial ligands of tetravalent platinum can not only reduce drug toxicity but also improve drug resistance, increase drug accumulation in the body, and enhance drug activity.
[0006] Therefore, the synthesis of novel metal hybrids modified with O-GlcNAc glycosylation that can effectively target proteins is beneficial for reshaping the tumor immune microenvironment and will become an effective strategy to relieve immunosuppression in CRPC. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Based on the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention aims to propose a tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex targeting CRPC based on regulating O-GlcNAc glycosylation. By designing the structure of the compound, four tetravalent platinum hexosamine complexes R3-R6 with symmetrical structures on both sides of the axial direction and eight tetravalent platinum hexosamine complexes R11-R14 and R16-R19 with asymmetric structures on both sides of the axial direction were synthesized to achieve better anti-tumor activity and targeting ability.

[0029] Preferably, when used, when the final concentration of the tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex is 5 μM or 10 μM and the treatment time is 24 hours, it can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, induce pyroptosis or promote apoptosis.
[0030] Furthermore, the tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex of the present invention and gemcitabine (or cisplatin, oxaliplatin) in combination have a synergistic anti-tumor effect. To this end, the present invention also provides the use of the tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex combined with gemcitabine (or cisplatin, oxaliplatin) in the preparation of a drug for inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, inducing pyroptosis or promoting apoptosis, wherein the tumor cells are human prostate cancer cells DU145, PC3, LNCap, VCap or RM-1, or human lung cancer cells A549, human colon cancer cells HCT-116.

[0032] Specifically, when the tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex and gemcitabine (or cisplatin, oxaliplatin) are added and used at one time, they can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, induce their pyroptosis or promote their apoptosis. The molar ratio of the tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex and gemcitabine (or cisplatin, oxaliplatin) is 1: (2-10), and the treatment time is 24-48h; further preferably, the molar ratio of the tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex and gemcitabine (or cisplatin, or oxaliplatin) is specifically 1:2, 1:4, 1:6, 1:8 or 1:10, and the treatment time is 24h.

[0034] Furthermore, the present invention also provides the use of the tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex in the preparation of a drug for inhibiting tumor growth in a mouse-derived metastasis model of prostate cancer. Specifically, the mouse used is a C57BL / 6 mouse.
[0035] Specifically, the tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex can inhibit the metastasis of tumors in a mouse metastasis model of prostate cancer when the dosage is 0.4-0.95 mg / kg / day and the dosage is administered five times.
[0036] Preferably, the tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex can inhibit the metastasis of tumors in a prostate cancer mouse metastasis model when administered at a dosage of 0.81 mg Pt / kg, 0.93 mg Pt / kg, 1.62 mg Pt / kg or 1.86 mg Pt / kg every two days for a total of five times.
[0037] Compared to existing technologies, this invention enhances the selectivity of platinum drugs for prostate cancer cells by glycosylation-modifying them with fluoroacetylhexosamine, a compound that interferes with glucose metabolism. By glycosylation-modifying the tetravalent platinum backbone, this invention exhibits excellent anti-tumor and anti-metastasis properties with virtually no biotoxicity. The compounds designed in this invention enhance the effective binding of the drug to tumor cell DNA, leveraging the exceptional stability of the tetravalent platinum drug structure over divalent platinum drugs to produce an orally administrable anti-tumor drug.

Unless otherwise specified, all reagents mentioned herein are commercially available high-purity reagents that meet the experimental requirements.
[0048] The abbreviations involved in the embodiments of the present invention include: Ac is acetyl, Bn is benzyl, Me is methyl, Bz is benzoyl, DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide, DMF is dimethylformamide, DCM is dichloromethane, Boc is tert-butyloxycarbonyl, DAST is diethylaminosulfur trifluoride, Pyridine is pyridine, HATU is 2-(7-azabenzotriazole)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate, DIPEA is N,N-diisopropylethylamine, NCS is N-chlorosuccinimide, Cis. is cisplatin, Oxp. is oxaliplatin, and AF is amphotericin. Cisplatin, oxaliplatin, palmitic anhydride, succinic anhydride, 2-acetylglucosamine, and 2-acetylgalactosamine are all commercially available products.
[0049] The main design ideas of the test of the present invention are as follows:
[0050] Different tumor cells can express a variety of sugar transporters on their surfaces and have varying sugar requirements. This study designed and synthesized four symmetrically bifunctional glycosylated Pt(IV) aminohexose complexes, R3-R6. By modifying tetravalent platinum with bifunctional glycosylation, we investigated the differences in cytotoxicity and uptake of different glycosylated products by different tumor cells.
[0051] 2. The reduction potential of tetravalent platinum anti-tumor drugs plays a crucial role in their anti-tumor effects. Different axial ligands of tetravalent platinum significantly influence its reduction potential. Therefore, selective axial ligand design can be used to ensure that the tetravalent platinum prodrug is reduced upon reaching the tumor environment, thereby exerting its anti-tumor effect. This invention also designed and synthesized four Pt(IV) hexosamine complexes R11-R14 modified with asymmetric monofunctional glycosyl structures.
[0052] 3. Furthermore, the present invention also modified the naked sugar of tetravalent platinum by improving the glycosylation ligand, designed and synthesized four asymmetric bifunctional glycosyl structure-modified Pt(IV) aminohexose complexes R16-R19, and studied their differences in cytotoxicity and uptake.

[0151] The experimental results in Tables 1 and 2 demonstrate that the tetravalent platinum hexosamine complexes of the present invention exhibited superior overall antitumor activity compared to the positive control drugs cisplatin and oxaliplatin across all cancer cells tested. The overall activity of the symmetrically bifunctionally substituted tetravalent platinum hexosamine complexes R3, R4, R5, and R6 was nearly comparable to that of cisplatin and oxaliplatin, but R3 exhibited slightly superior activity to both cisplatin and oxaliplatin in prostate cancer cells.
[0152] Based on the asymmetric bifunctional tetravalent platinum aminohexose complexes R11, R12, R13 and R14, R11 and R12 have good selectivity for toxicity against liver cancer cells Huh-7 and prostate cancer cells PC3 and DU145. In particular, the tetravalent platinum aminohexose complex R12 substituted with fluoroacetylhexose has better activity in prostate cancer cells than R11 with the same tetravalent platinum core, indicating that the introduction of fluoroacetylhexose can increase the cytotoxicity of tetravalent platinum.
[0153] The overall activity of the asymmetric bifunctionally substituted tetravalent platinum aminohexose complexes R16, R17, R18, and R19 was significantly superior to that of the positive drugs cisplatin and oxaliplatin, especially the IC of R19 in prostate cancer cells. 50 It is worth noting that the RF value of R19 (RF=0.74) is much lower than that of cisplatin (RF=1.64), and the IC50 value of R19 in PC3 and DU145 cells reaches the nanomolar level, indicating that it has high selectivity for androgen-independent prostate cancer cells and has the potential to reverse androgen-independent prostate cancer cells, showing that R19, a quadrivalent platinum anti-tumor drug, may have good prospects in the treatment of prostate cancer.
[0154] Experimental Example 2: Effect of R19 on the Migration Ability of Prostate Cancer Cells
[0155] 1. Wound healing experiment
[0156] In order to verify the inhibitory effect of R19 on the migration ability of prostate cancer cells, the wound healing assay was used to detect the effect of R19 on the migration ability of PC3 prostate cancer cells. Figure 1 As shown, compared with the positive control drugs cisplatin and oxaliplatin, with the increase of drug concentration, the inhibitory effect of R19 on prostate cancer cell migration was significantly stronger than cisplatin and oxaliplatin.
[0157] 2. Transwell chamber experiment
[0158] In order to further verify the inhibitory effect of R19 on the migration ability of prostate cancer cells, the Transwell assay was used to detect the effect of R19 on the migration ability of PC3 prostate cancer cells. Figure 2 As shown, compared with the positive control drug cisplatin, as the drug concentration increases, the inhibitory effect of compound R19 on prostate cancer cell migration is significantly stronger than cisplatin and oxaliplatin. Experimental Example 3: R19 induces apoptosis of prostate cancer cells
[0159] In order to study the relationship between the anticancer activity of tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex R19 and cell apoptosis, the present invention uses the Annexin V / PI double staining method to test the apoptosis of R19 and cisplatin in PC3 cells. PC3 cells were incubated with R19 at concentrations of 5μM and 10μM and cisplatin 10μM for 24 hours, and the cells were collected. Flow cytometry was then used to analyze the apoptosis induced by the compounds. The results are as follows: Figure 3 The apoptotic ratio of R19 was positively correlated with its concentration. That is, at a concentration of 10 μM, the ratio of early apoptotic cells was 15.13%, and the ratio of late apoptotic cells was 8.53%, both higher than 9.02% and 2.71% of cisplatin, respectively. This indicates that R19 has stronger in vitro cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing abilities than cisplatin.
[0160] Experimental Example 4: R19 and Gem combination drug experiment
[0161] In this study, the in vitro antitumor activity of the combination of R19 and Gem (gemcitabine) is shown in Tables 3 and 4. The MTT assay was used to test the resistance of compound R19 and Gem to two human cancer cell lines, DU145 and PC3, at different concentrations. The treatment time was 24 hours. By combining R19 and Gem, this study utilized the synergistic effect of the two drugs together, achieving an objective therapeutic level at low concentrations and exhibiting significant cytotoxicity.
[0162] Table 3 In vitro antitumor activity of R19 combined with Gem
[0163]
[0164] As can be seen from Table 3, in DU145, when R19 (0.5 μM) + Gem (2 μM) = 1:4, an objective therapeutic level can still be achieved, with significant cytotoxicity.
[0165] Table 4 In vitro antitumor activity of R19 combined with Gem
[0166]
[0167] As can be seen from Table 4, in PC3, when R19 (1 μM) + 5-Fu (8 μM) = 1:8, FA = 0.74, which can still reach an objective therapeutic level and has significant cytotoxicity.
[0168] Experimental Example 5: Platinum Uptake by R19 in Prostate Cancer Cells
[0169] The biological activity of a drug is closely related to its accumulation in cancer cells. To study the platinum accumulation of R19 in cells, the present invention added a 10 μM compound to cells and cultured them for 8 hours. The cells were then collected and the corresponding kits were used to separate the organelles and nuclear DNA. After acidification with nitric acid, the platinum content in the cell DNA and several organelles was determined by ICP-MS. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 As shown, the platinum accumulation of R19 in DU145 and PC3 cells was 6 times higher than that of cisplatin and oxaliplatin. 5 The DNA platinum element levels of DU145 and PC3 in the individual cells were 37.65ng Pt and 47.58ng Pt, respectively, which were significantly higher than cisplatin and oxaliplatin by 2-3 times. At the same time, the results of the present invention found that R19 was distributed in a considerable amount in the endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes and mitochondria, and R19 had a higher uptake in the endoplasmic reticulum, indicating that the reason why R19 overcomes androgen-independent prostate cancer is not only because it has a higher binding rate with DNA, but also because the drugs taken in by other organelles also play a role. In addition, in the presence of inhibitors, the cell's uptake of drugs was significantly reduced, which once again proves that the large-scale accumulation of R19 in cells may occur after the glucose transporter crosses the membrane.
[0170] Experimental Example 6: In vivo anti-tumor activity and anti-metastasis effect of R19
[0171] 1. R19 inhibits the growth of orthotopic solid tumors in mice bearing prostate cancer cells
[0172] In vitro experiments have shown that R19 has a good killing effect on prostate cancer cells. In order to verify its efficacy in vivo, the present invention tested the in vivo anti-tumor activity of R19 through tumor-bearing experiments. RM-1 prostate cancer cells were used to implant tumors in the axilla of C57BL / 6 mice to create a solid tumor model. After one week, the average tumor volume of the mice was 80-100 mm 3The mice were randomly divided into the Control group, L10 group (10 mg / kg), oxaliplatin group (2.46 mg Pt / kg), cisplatin group (1.95 mg Pt / kg), cisplatin + L10 group (1.95 mg Pt / kg + 5 mg / kg L10), R19 group (0.93 mg Pt / kg) and R19 group (1.86 mg Pt / kg). The drug was administered intraperitoneally once every two days for a total of five times. The changes in the weight and tumor volume of the mice were recorded every other day. After the last dose, the mice were observed for 5 days. Then, the eye blood was collected from the mice, and the mice were killed by dislocation. The tumors and organ tissues were removed, photographed and the weights were recorded. The results are as follows Figure 5 shown.
[0173] Tumor growth curve ( Figure 5 B) shows that the average tumor volume of the control group on day 13 was 1800 mm 3 , the volume of R19 (1.62 mg Pt / kg) group was 520 mm 3 , which was 75% and 54% lower than that of negative group and oxaliplatin group. Figure 5 C) showed that after treatment with R19 (1.62 mg Pt / kg), the tumor inhibition rate was as high as 80.4%, and the inhibition rate of the R19 (0.81 mg Pt / kg) group was 70.2%, both of which were better than cisplatin (66.9%) and oxaliplatin (53.2%). Figure 5 A) showed that the body weight of mice decreased by 15% after cisplatin treatment, while the body weight of mice after R19 administration was 103% to 106% of that before administration. In addition, the toxicology experiment ( Figure 5 D) shows that R19 has a slight inhibitory effect on the spleen of mice after administration, with no significant effect on other organs. The results show that R19 can effectively inhibit tumor growth in vivo and has little toxicity to mice.
[0174] 2. Distribution of platinum in R19 animal tissues
[0175] In vitro experiments showed that R19 showed good targeting to prostate cancer cells, and the uptake and DNA binding in tumor cells were both high. To verify whether R19 could also target tumor tissues in vivo, the present invention tested the distribution of R19 in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, tumor tissue and blood. Equal amounts of tissues from an orthotopic solid tumor model of prostate cancer mice were taken 5 days after administration, and their distribution in animal tissues was detected by ICP-MS after acidification with nitric acid. The results are as follows: Figure 6 A and Figure 6 As shown in B, the platinum accumulation of R19 in tumor tissues of mice is twice that of cisplatin.
[0176] In addition, it was found that its content in the liver and kidneys was also very high. In order to evaluate whether it has toxic damage to the liver and kidneys, after the animals were finished, the present invention used corresponding detection kits to measure the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (SCr) content and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities in the mice. The results are as follows Figure 6 The levels of BUN, SCr, ALT, and AST in mice treated with cisplatin and oxaliplatin were significantly increased compared with the negative control group, while R19 had almost no effect, indicating that R19 did not cause damage to the liver and kidneys of mice compared with cisplatin and oxaliplatin.
[0177] 3. R19 inhibits lung metastasis in mice bearing prostate cancer cells
[0178] In vitro experiments have shown that R19 has a higher inhibitory effect on the migration of prostate cancer cells. In order to further verify this result, the present invention studied the in vivo anti-tumor metastasis activity of R19. RM-1 prostate cancer cells were implanted into the tail vein of mice to create a lung metastasis mouse model. After seven days, the mice were randomly divided into a control group, an L10 group (10 mg / kg), an oxaliplatin group (2.46 mg Pt / kg), a cisplatin group (1.95 mg Pt / kg), a cisplatin + L10 group (1.95 mg Pt / kg + 5 mg / kg L10), an R19 group (0.93 mg Pt / kg) and an R19 group (1.86 mg Pt / kg). The mice were administered five times every other day by intraperitoneal injection and observed for 5 days after administration.
[0179] The weight of mice was recorded every day. After 5 days of observation, mice in each group were killed by dislocation. The organs were removed, weighed and recorded. Figure 7 As shown. The results showed that the number of lung nodules in the experimental group was significantly reduced compared with the negative control group. After treatment with R19 (0.81 mg Pt / kg), the inhibition rate of lung nodules was 66.37%, and the inhibition rate of R19 (1.62 mg Pt / kg) was 82.01%, both better than the cisplatin group (36.87%) and the oxaliplatin group (17.46%), indicating that R19 inhibited the lung metastasis of mouse prostate cancer to a certain extent. In addition, in the in vivo toxicology experiment, the comparison between the experimental group and the control group showed that there was no significant change in the organ index. Then, HE staining of the lung tissue of the mouse was performed and it was found that ( Figure 7 E), Lung injury was significantly reduced after R19 treatment compared with the positive control drug.
[0180] Experimental Example 7: R19 reduces the expression of O-GlcNAc glycosylation of prostate cancer cell proteins
[0181] In order to study the effect of tetravalent platinum hexosamine complex R19 on O-GlcNAc glycosylation of prostate cancer cell proteins, different concentrations of R19 and positive drugs L10 and cisplatin were used to act on prostate cancer PC3 cells for 24 hours, and Western blotting was used to analyze the O-GlcNAc glycosylation level of proteins in the cells. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, with the increase of R19 concentration, the degree of protein O-GlcNAc glycosylation in PC3 cells decreased significantly in a concentration-dependent manner. The opposite was true for cisplatin. After cisplatin treatment of PC3 prostate cancer cells, the protein O-GlcNAc level was significantly higher than the protein expression level of R19.
[0182] Experimental Example 8: R19 reduces the content of UDP-GlcNAc in prostate cancer cells
[0183] After cellular stress, the degree of protein O-GlcNAc glycosylation changes. This change in O-GlcNAc glycosylation is primarily regulated by OGA and OGT. In addition, the donor UDP-GlcNAc may also contribute to the glycosylation change. The present invention measured the effects of R19 and cisplatin on cellular UDP-GlcNAc concentration and the effect of UDP-GlcNAc concentration on R19's inhibition of anti-tumor cell proliferation.
[0184] The results of Experimental Example 7 showed that R19 significantly reduced O-GlcNAc glycosylation in prostate cancer PC3 cells. R19 may have reduced the content of UDP-GlcNAc in cells through the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, thereby reducing O-GlcNAc glycosylation in cells. Therefore, Experimental Example 8 set up a blank group, a cisplatin group, and an R19 group. The corresponding drug was added at a concentration of 10 μM during cell culture. After 24 hours, the cells were collected and treated to obtain samples containing UDP-GlcNAc. The samples were quantitatively analyzed by HPLC. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 9 As shown in the figure, compared with the blank control group, the UDP-GlcNAc content in the cisplatin group was significantly increased, while the UDP-GlcNAc concentration in the R19 group was significantly decreased, while the concentration of 4F-UDP-GlcNAc was significantly increased. The experimental results show that R19 induces a decrease in the intracellular UDP-GlcNAc content in PC3 cells, thereby reducing the degree of intracellular protein O-GlcNAc glycosylation.
[0185] In addition, the present invention also conducted related experiments such as transporter inhibitor experiments, R19 in vivo anti-tumor immunity evaluation experiments, R19-induced prostate cancer cell apoptosis experiments, R19 expression experiments on phosphorylated histone H2A.X, R19 expression experiments on apoptosis-related proteins, R19 increased p53 stability experiments, and R19-induced prostate cancer cell cycle arrest experiments, which are not listed here one by one. The above experiments lead to the conclusion that the cytotoxicity of the compound R19 synthesized in the present invention relies on the glucose transporter highly expressed on the cell membrane surface to exert its effect across the membrane; R19 enhances the anti-tumor immune effect by reducing the proportion of T-reg cells with immunosuppressive function in mice; R19's in vitro cytotoxicity and ability to induce cell apoptosis are stronger than cisplatin; R19 significantly upregulates the expression of p53, Caspase-3 and phospho-histone H2A-X, enhances DNA damage, and induces apoptosis of prostate cancer cells; R19 increases the stability of p53 by upregulating the protein expression of TXNIP and SGT1, thereby activating the p53 pathway, inducing cell apoptosis and blocking the cell cycle; R19 induces prostate cancer PC3 cells mainly in the G1 / S phase.
[0186] In summary, the present invention modifies platinum drugs with glycosylation using fluoroacetylhexosamine, a compound that interferes with glucose metabolism. This not only achieves platinum drug targeting, but also regulates HBP to effectively reduce the content of UDP-GlcNAc in prostate cancer cells, thereby reducing the presence of highly branched N-glycan on the cell membrane surface, thereby targeting CRPC and enhancing its sensitivity to platinum drugs. The present invention also reaches the following conclusions:
[0187] 1. The present invention synthesized several tetravalent platinum hexosamine complexes with oral potential. Anti-tumor testing revealed that these compounds exhibited excellent selectivity for prostate cancer cells, with R19 in particular demonstrating nanomolar cytotoxicity against androgen-independent prostate cancer cells. 2. R19 exhibited high cellular uptake and DNA binding in prostate cancer cells, and its high platinum accumulation and cytotoxicity were closely related to sugar transporters on the tumor cell membrane surface. 3. R19 exhibited excellent anti-tumor activity and anti-tumor metastasis capabilities in mice with prostate cancer, with virtually no biotoxicity. 4. R19 can reduce the level of UDP-GlcNAc in prostate cancer cells, thereby reducing protein O-GlcNAcylation in prostate cancer cells and inhibiting highly branched N-glycans on the cell membrane surface. 5. R19 increased the expression of key enzymes in the HBP pathway and elevated the level of 4F-UDP-GlcNAc, playing an important role in the fight against prostate cancer.
