Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to an MDM2 dual-site inhibitor and its anti-tumor activity. Background Technology
[0002] Reishi mushroom is the dried fruiting body of two fungi, *Ganoderma lucidum* Karst and *Ganoderma sinese*, belonging to the genus *Ganoderma* of the family Polyporaceae in the class Basidiomycetes. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that reishi mushroom possesses a wide range of physiological activities, such as antitumor, immunomodulatory, antiviral, and central nervous system protection. The chemical composition of reishi mushroom is complex, with over 400 compounds identified to date, mainly including triterpenes, polysaccharides, nucleosides, and sterols, of which over 300 are triterpenoids. The relative molecular mass of reishi triterpenoids is generally between 400 and 600, with complex structures, mostly highly oxidized lanosterane-type compounds. They possess activities such as antitumor, liver protection and detoxification, cholesterol reduction, and anti-HIV activity. Based on the different functional groups and side chain structures, they can be divided into several major categories, including ganoderic acids, alcohols, aldehydes, and lactones.
[0003] Currently, cancer remains a prevalent and common disease, posing a significant challenge to medicine. Chemotherapy is one of the primary methods of cancer treatment, but the low specificity of chemotherapy drugs against both normal and tumor cells, leading to toxic side effects and the development of drug resistance in tumor cells with long-term use, makes the search for novel anticancer drugs with high specificity and low toxicity a hot research direction for future cancer treatment.
[0004] The relationship between the p53-MDM2 signaling pathway and tumors has attracted attention in recent years. Excessive production of p53 protein in the human body can lead to impaired cell function or an increased tendency to form tumors. When p53 protein accumulates, the expression of MDM2 (Mouse Double Minute 2) protein in the downstream signaling pathway increases. The MDM2 structure includes a p53-binding domain, an acidic domain, a zinc finger domain, and a RING domain. Inhibition of the RING domain function leads to ubiquitin accumulation and subsequent ubiquitination and degradation of MDM2 itself. To maintain a balance and stability of p53 protein levels in cells, MDM2 can interact with the transcriptional activation domain of p53 to form a p53-MDM2 complex, thereby inhibiting p53 transcriptional activity. When cells are stimulated, MDM2 expression decreases while p53 expression increases. This increase in p53 induces MDM2 expression at the transcriptional level, forming a negative feedback regulatory loop.
[0005] Ganoderic acid A, a major component of Ganoderma lucidum triterpenes, is abundant and possesses antitumor activity, but it suffers from drawbacks such as low antitumor activity. Structural modification of natural compounds is an effective means of obtaining ideal active compounds and can expand the sources of drugs. Ganoderic acids possess various substituents, such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, and acetyl groups. These groups endow triterpenoids with diverse biological activities and also provide sites for structural modification, allowing for the development of more effective active compounds for anticancer drug development.
[0006] The existing technology, "Xu Yao, Xu Shulai, Liu Zhibin, et al. Research progress on extraction, purification and bioactivity of Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids [J]. Food Industry Technology, 2022, 43(11): 458-464," discloses that triterpenoids extracted from Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies have cytotoxic, inhibitory, and apoptosis-inducing effects on various cancer cells, including human colon HT-29 cancer cells, breast cancer cells, lung cancer cells, and human nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cells. However, the extraction of triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum is costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive.

[0094] Cell viability assay procedures: The cell lines used in this study were purchased from Wuhan Pronosei Life Sciences Co., Ltd. HepG2 cells were cultured in DMEM medium (Sole Pro) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (PAN) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Hyclone) under a humid environment of 37℃ and 5% CO2. SJSA-1 and MCF-7 cell lines were cultured in PRMI 1640 medium (Gibco) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (PAN) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Hyclone). HK-2 cells were cultured in DMEM / F12 (Gibco) (1:1) medium. Cell viability was determined using the MTT assay. The MTT reagent kit was purchased from Beyotime. MCF-7, HepG2, SJSA-1, and HK-2 cells (7×10⁶ cells / year) were cultured in a humid environment of 5% CO2. 3 Cells were seeded per well in 96-well plates and cultured in serum-free medium for 24 hours. Then, they were treated with 0.1% DMSO, 25, 50, or 100 μM ganoderic acid A derivatives (B1-B14), or ganoderic acid A (GAA) for 48 hours (MCF-7, HepG2, HK2) or 72 hours (SJSA-1). After 48 or 72 hours, 10 μL of MTT (5 mg / mL) was added, and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 4 hours. Then, 100 μL of dissolving buffer was added. After complete dissolution of the crystals, absorbance was measured at 540 nm under a microscope. Cell viability was calculated as: [OD value of drug-treated wells - OD value of blank wells] / [OD value of control wells - OD value of blank wells] × 100%.

[0101] Example 16: Inhibitory activity test of compound B14 against the two-site domain of MDM2
[0102] (1) Inhibitory activity test of B14 against the MDM2RING domain
[0103] The effect of different concentrations of compound B14 on MDM2 protein in the HepG2 cell line was determined using Western blotting.
[0104] Western Blot Procedure: HepG2 cells were treated with 12.5, 25, and 50 μM compound B14 for 24 hours. The culture medium was discarded, and the cells were washed three times with pre-chilled PBS. Then, RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime) containing PMSF and a phosphatase inhibitor (Beyotime) was added, and the cells were incubated on ice for 30 minutes to lyse. Cells were collected using a cell scraper and transferred to pre-chilled EP tubes, sonicated on ice for 10 minutes, and then centrifuged at 12000g for 30 minutes at 4°C to extract total protein. The concentration of each sample was calculated using the BCA protein quantification method (BCA kit purchased from Beyotime), and samples of different concentrations were diluted to the same factor using RIPA lysis buffer. Loading buffer was added, and the cells were heated at 100°C for 10 minutes to fully denature the proteins. After centrifugation, the cells were stored at -20°C. Proteins were separated using a 10% SDS-PAGE gel, with 20 μg of protein sample loaded into each well. Stacking gel electrophoresis was performed at 80V, followed by separating gel electrophoresis at 120V. Wet transfer was performed under a constant current of 300 mA to transfer proteins from the gel onto a PVDF membrane. The PVDF membrane was blocked with 5% BSA at room temperature for 2 hours. The membrane was then incubated overnight at 4°C with antibodies MDM2 (abcam, ab16895), P53 (Proteintech, 10442-1-AP), Bcl-2 (CST, 15071S), Bax (CST, 2772T), and β-actin (abcam, ab8226). The membrane was then washed three times with TBST for 10 minutes each time. Incubation with secondary antibody (Beyotime) at room temperature for 2 hours was performed. ECL chemiluminescence imaging solution (Beyotime, BeyoECL-star) was added, and the gel was detected using a gel imaging system (ClinxChemScope, China).
[0105] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2The results in A showed that B14 could significantly degrade MDM2 protein at 50 μM. Figure 2 The B-value in the study showed that the degradation ability decreased after the addition of the protease system inhibitor MG-132 (purchased from MCE, catalog number 149688), indicating that the effect of B14 on MDM2 occurs through the proteasome system, further proving that B14 can inhibit the MDM2RING domain.
[0106] (2) Inhibitory activity test of B14 against the MDM2RING domain
[0107] Homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) was performed using the MDM2HTRF binding kit (PerkinElmer), which included GST Eu crystallization antibody, MI-1061red ligand, Standard, MDM2 protein, dilution buffer #9, and PROTACBinding Buffer. The GST Eu crystallization antibody, MI-1061red ligand, and MDM2 protein were diluted 50-fold with PROTACBinding Buffer, and equal volumes of GST Eu crystallization antibody and MI-1061red ligand were mixed as HTRF reagents. The Standard stock solution was diluted with dilution buffer #9 according to the recommended procedure to obtain a standard curve, with final concentrations of 2000, 400, 80, 16, 3.2, 0.64, 0.128, and 0 nM. The test samples were also diluted with dilution buffer #9 to concentrations of 250, 50, 10, 2, 0.4, 0.08, and 0.016 μM. Following the kit instructions, use a white 384-well plate. Add 5 μL of dilution buffer #9 and 5 μL of PROTAC binding buffer to each well in the negative control group. Add 5 μL of the corresponding sample and 5 μL of MDM2 protein to each well in the standard control and sample groups. Then add 10 μL of premixed HTRF and GST Eu antibody working solution to all wells, with 5 auxiliary wells for each sample. Seal and incubate at room temperature for 4 hours. Use a SpectraMax iD5 microplate reader (Molecular Devices) at an excitation wavelength of 350 nm to measure the values at 665 nm and 620 nm, respectively, and calculate the ratio: Ratio = Signal 665nm / Signal 620nm × 10⁻¹⁰. 4 The IC50 value was calculated by plotting the logarithm of concentration on the x-axis and Ratio on the x-axis. The MDM2-p53 interaction inhibitor Nutlin-3a (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, catalog number 444152) was used as a positive control to determine the in vitro competitive inhibitory effect of the derivative. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0108] Table 1. In vitro competitive inhibition of MDM2 by compound B14
[0109]
[0110] The results in Table 1 show that compound B14 has a certain inhibitory effect on the MDM2-p53 interaction in vitro.
[0111] Figure 2 The results in Table 1 show that B14 can inhibit both the MDM2RING domain and the MDM2-p53 binding domain, thus playing a dual-site inhibitory role.
