Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the pharmaceutical field, specifically relating to 3-amino-5-phenyl-pyrazole derivative microtubule inhibitors, their preparation, and pharmaceutical uses. Background Technology

[0002] Malignant tumors are among the most serious diseases threatening human health. Their incidence rate is second only to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, making them the second leading cause of death worldwide. Furthermore, their mortality rate surpasses that of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, ranking first among all diseases. Therefore, finding and developing new drugs to treat tumors is a major challenge. Because microtubules play a crucial role in the proliferation and division of tumor cells, tubulin has become a relatively ideal target for anti-tumor drugs.

[0003] Microtubules play crucial roles in various cellular processes, including spindle formation, cell shape maintenance, and intracellular transport. Their function in mitosis makes them attractive targets for anticancer drugs. Microtubule-targeting agents disrupt microtubule formation, thereby inhibiting cancer cells from entering the G2 / M phase and ultimately leading to apoptosis. Therefore, tubulin inhibitors are widely used in cancer treatment. Currently, all marketed tubulin inhibitors bind to paclitaxel or vincristine binding sites on tubulin. These compounds have the advantage of high antitumor activity and effectiveness against a variety of cancers. However, these compounds also have significant toxic side effects and are prone to inducing drug resistance.

[0004] Microtubule inhibitors based on colchicine binding sites can overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and possess therapeutic advantages over those based on taxane and vinca alkaloid binding sites. For example, they have good water solubility and can be administered orally. Furthermore, they are less prone to multidrug resistance. To date, many microtubule inhibitors based on colchicine binding sites have been discovered as effective anticancer agents. Some of these have already reached clinical trials, demonstrating the great potential of colchicine-based antitumor drug analogs. 3-Amino-5-phenyl-pyrazole derivatives, based on the structure-activity relationship of colchicine-based microtubule inhibitors, introduce a five-membered heterocyclic pyrazole ring and hold promise for the treatment of various cancers. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Furthermore, the pharmaceutical composition further includes pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, preferably selected from one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients.

[0019] A fourth object of the present invention is to provide the use of the aforementioned 3-amino-5-phenyl-pyrazole derivatives or the aforementioned pharmaceutical compositions in the preparation of microtubule inhibitors.

[0020] A fifth object of the present invention is to provide the use of the aforementioned 3-amino-5-phenyl-pyrazole derivatives or the aforementioned pharmaceutical compositions in the preparation of medicaments for treating tumors.

[0125] Example 23 Anti-proliferation experiment on tumor cells

[0126] The antiproliferative activity of the compound described in this invention against five tumor cell lines: MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, A549, HT-29, and HeLa was tested. Methods: Cells were digested, counted, and prepared to a concentration of 5 × 10⁻⁶. 4 Add 100 μL of cell suspension per well to a 96-well plate (3-5 × 10⁶ cells / mL). 3 (cells). 96-well plates were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours. The drug was diluted to the required concentration with complete culture medium, and 100 μL of the corresponding drug-containing medium was added to each well. The 96-well plates were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 48 hours. 20 μL of MTT (5 mg / mL) was added to each well, and the plates were incubated for another 4 hours. The culture medium was discarded, and 150 μL of DMSO was added to each well to dissolve the drug. The plates were gently mixed by shaking for 10 minutes. The OD value of each well was read using a microplate reader at λ = 570 nm. The test results were analyzed using a Graphpad Prism 6. The test results for representative compounds are shown in Table 1.

[0129]

[0130] These results indicate that the compounds of this invention have a significant inhibitory effect on tumor cells, and are superior to the positive control drugs paclitaxel (PTX) and Combretastatin A-4 (CA-4), suggesting their potential use in cancer treatment.

[0131] Example 24: Inhibition of Tubulin Polymerization

[0132] The inhibitory activity of compound 5b on tubulin polymerization was tested.

[0133] Methods: The compound was prepared in five concentration gradients (2, 10, 50, 250, and 1250 nM), with each concentration biologically replicated three times. 2 mg / mL tubulin (cytoskeleton) was resuspended in PEM buffer [80 mM PIPES (pH 6.9), 0.5 mM EGTA, 2 mM MgCl2] and 15% glycerol, and then pre-incubated on ice with the compound or solvent DMSO for 5 minutes. Before detecting the tubulin polymerization reaction, PEG containing GTP (guanosine triphosphate) was added to a final concentration of 3 mg / mL. Fluorescence was detected once per minute at 360 nm using a multi-functional fluorescent microplate reader, with continuous fluorescence detection at 450 nm for 60 minutes. A blank control group (0.1% DMSO + PEM) was set up. The test results were analyzed using Graphpad Prism 6. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0134] The results show that compound 5b in this invention can effectively inhibit the aggregation of tubulin, and its inhibitory activity is comparable to that of the positive control drug CA-4, further indicating that the target of compound 5b is the colchicine site of tubulin.

[0137] Example 25: Inhibitory activity of compound 5b of the present invention against the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cell xenografts in nude mice.

[0138] Seventy-two four-week-old female Balb / c nude mice, weighing 17-19g, were provided by Jiangsu Huachuang Xinno Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. Cultured TNBC breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells were collected, centrifuged, resuspended in PBS, and counted. An equal volume of the PBS-resuspended cells was mixed with an ABW (Absorbent Polymerase Injection) mixture to adjust the cell suspension concentration to 3 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 7 0.2 mL of the tumor cells were injected subcutaneously into the right axilla of each nude mouse. The long and short diameters of the xenograft tumor in the nude mice were measured using calipers, and the tumor volume was calculated as (V = length (mm) × width (mm) × width (mm) / 2). Fourteen days after tumor cell inoculation, the tumors grew to 100 mm. 3At approximately 2000 mmol / L, nude mice were randomly divided into 8 groups of 9 mice each. Paclitaxel 5b was dissolved in a mixture of 10% DMSO, 2% Tween 80, 10% PEG300, and 78% saline. The model group received an equal volume of the solvent intraperitoneally every two days for 21 days. The positive control group received 10 mg / kg paclitaxel intraperitoneally every two days for 21 days. The experimental groups received 5 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, and 20 mg / kg of compound 5b intraperitoneally every two days for 21 days. Tumor volume and mouse weight were recorded every two days. After 21 days of treatment, the nude mice were sacrificed, and the tumors were surgically removed and weighed. The tumor growth inhibition rate (%) was calculated, and the results were analyzed using Graphpad Prism 6. Statistical analysis between groups was performed using a t-test.

[0139] Experimental results showed that compound 5b effectively inhibited tumor growth in nude mice, significantly reducing tumor volume. Figure 2 In the drug A), at doses of 5 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, and 20 mg / kg, the tumor inhibition rates of compound 5b were 27.01%, 36.07%, and 68.95%, respectively. Figure 2 (B in the middle).
