Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry technology, specifically relating to a mitochondrial-malonic acid-diquinoline chloride compound, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Rotenone derivatives are a class of isoflavone compounds with insecticidal activity extracted from plants such as *Rotenone*. Since 1932, 47 rotenone compounds have been extracted and isolated from these plants. These compounds exhibit insecticidal activity by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration through the inhibition of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Studies have shown that rotenone can reduce environmental pollution, stimulate plant growth, and effectively delay the development of pesticide resistance in pests. However, rotenone is easily decomposed and inactivated under conditions such as sunlight, oxygen, and high temperature, which greatly limits its application. To reduce the limitations of rotenone, its structure can be modified or chemically modified to construct targeted prodrugs. Designing highly effective and low-toxicity rotenone derivatives and improving their biological activity is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] Recent studies have found that rotenone has inhibitory effects on various tumor cells, including lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colon cancer cells. As an anticancer substance, rotenone can induce apoptosis in various cancer cells, including human breast cancer cells, B lymphocytes, promyelocytic leukemia cells, human neuroblastoma cells, and lung cancer cells. Therefore, the anticancer mechanism of rotenone targeting mitochondria is a research topic worthy of in-depth investigation, and rotenone is considered a very promising anticancer lead compound. However, when the dose of rotenone exceeds the effective concentration, it can cause damage to the heart, lungs, and nervous system, and can also induce Parkinson's syndrome, thus posing a significant obstacle to the practical application of rotenone. Therefore, how to structurally modify or chemically modify rotenone to increase its stability while retaining its anticancer activity and enabling it to target tumors, thereby reducing its toxic side effects on other tissues, especially the nervous system, and improving its biological activity, is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a mitochondrial-targeting rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride compound, its preparation method, and its applications. Using malonic acid as a bridging molecule, this invention covalently binds the rotenone derivative rotenol to the mitochondrial-targeting molecule dequinoline chloride to obtain an anticancer prodrug molecule—rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride. This prodrug promotes drug accumulation in the mitochondria of cancer cells. Given that dequinoline chloride has a significant apoptosis-promoting function, the synergistic effect of rotenol and dequinoline chloride induces the production of large amounts of reactive oxygen species within cancer cells, thereby exhibiting high anticancer activity and achieving highly effective and low-toxicity anticancer treatment.

After the reaction is completed, remove the solvent to obtain the residue, add the compound 1 solution to the residue, add triethylamine dropwise and carry out the second oil bath reaction. After the reaction is completed, remove the solvent, wash and dry to obtain compound 2.

[0011] S3. Compound 2, 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole were placed in a container, and a second solvent was added under a protective gas atmosphere to carry out the first activation reaction. After the reaction was completed, a dequinoline chloride solution was added to adjust the pH of the system to 9 and carry out the third oil bath reaction. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was filtered, concentrated, recrystallized and dried to obtain the mitochondrial-targeted rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride compound.

[0012] Preferably, in S1, the mass-to-volume ratio of rotenone, the first solvent, sodium borohydride, and water is 270-330 mg: 8-12 mL: 120-140 mg: 8-12 mL.

[0013] Preferably, in S1, the room temperature reaction time is 3-5 hours, and the first solvent is methanol.

[0014] Preferably, in S2, the mass-to-volume ratio of malonic acid, 1,4-dioxane, thionyl chloride, compound 1, and triethylamine is 40-60 mg: 10-12 mL: 100-110 μL: 230-240 mg: 60-70 μL; the compound 1 solution is obtained by mixing the compound and N,N-dimethylformamide at a mass-to-volume ratio of 237 mg: 10 mL.

[0015] Preferably, in S2, the temperature of the first oil bath reaction is 100-120℃, and the reaction time is 12-15h; the temperature of the second oil bath reaction is 60-80℃, and the reaction time is 12-15h.

[0016] Preferably, in S3, the mass-to-volume ratio of compound 2, 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, the second solvent, and dequinoline chloride is 70-80 mg:120-140 mg:120-130 mg:25-30 mL:65-80 mg; the dequinoline chloride solution is obtained by mixing dequinoline chloride and methanol at a mass-to-volume ratio of 76 mg:7 mL; the second solvent is methanol.

[0017] Preferably, in step S3, the temperature of the first activation reaction is 0-4℃ and the time is 4-6h; the pH of the system is adjusted to 9 using N,N-diisopropylethylamine; and the temperature of the third oil bath reaction is 37℃ and the time is 20-24h.

[0019] Preferably, the cancer includes lung cancer, cervical cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, or colon cancer.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0021] (1) This invention uses malonic acid as a bridging molecule to covalently bind rotenone derivative rotenol to mitochondrial-targeting molecule dequinoline chloride, thus obtaining an anticancer prodrug molecule – rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride. This prodrug can promote the accumulation of drugs in the mitochondria of cancer cells. Given that dequinoline chloride has a significant apoptosis-promoting function in cancer cells, the synergistic effect of rotenol and dequinoline chloride promotes the production of a large amount of reactive oxygen species in cancer cells, thereby exhibiting high anticancer activity. In addition, since the cell membrane potential of cancer cells is much higher than that of normal cells, the positively charged dequinoline chloride can more easily enter the cytoplasm of cancer cells under the impetus of the cell transmembrane potential, giving the prodrug tumor-targeting function and ultimately achieving highly effective and low-toxicity anticancer effects.

[0022] (2) This invention starts with the raw material rotenone and uses a reduction reaction to obtain its derivative rotenol. Subsequently, it is covalently linked with malonic acid through an esterification reaction to obtain the rotenol-malonic acid intermediate. Under suitable conditions, another free carboxyl group in this intermediate will further react with the amino group on dequinoline chloride to generate the rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride prodrug molecule.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] Cytotoxicity test of rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride compound.

[0065] Different concentrations of the intermediate product and the rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride compound were co-incubated with cells for 48 h. The killing effects on three types of cancer cells—human lung cancer cells (A549), human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), and human liver cancer cells (HepG-2)—were detected using the tetramethylazazole salt colorimetric method. The intermediate product and the final product, rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride compound, gradually reduced cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 was defined as the 50% inhibitory concentration, i.e., the concentration at which cell viability was half that of the control sample. A lower IC50 indicates higher cytotoxicity of the drug.

[0066] Figure 10 This is a graph showing the cell survival rate of three human cancer cell lines after treatment with the rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride compound of this invention. 50 Values ​​were calculated using GraphPadPrism 9.0. The vertical axis provides the viable cell fraction (%), and the horizontal axis provides log[concentration] (μM). Cells were treated for 48 h. Cytotoxicity was assessed by the MTT assay. These results are from a representative assay from one of three independent trials. Data are characterized as mean ± SD. Figure 10 In the figure, A is the survival rate of compound 1 against three types of cancer cells: A549, HeLa, and HepG-2, and B is the survival rate of rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride against three types of cancer cells: A549, HeLa, and HepG-2.

[0067] from Figure 10The results show that (1) for the three cancer cells A549, HeLa, and HepG-2, the cell survival rate decreased with increasing drug concentration regardless of the type of cancer cell, indicating a clear dose-dependent relationship between cell survival rate and drug concentration; (2) by observing the inhibitory effects of different drugs on cancer cells, it can be seen that the cytotoxicity of the rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride compound is the strongest, while the cytotoxicity of the intermediate product is weaker. This is because the final product is not only coupled with rotenol, but also with dequinoline chloride. Both drugs can target the mitochondria in cancer cells and can play a synergistic role to a certain extent, enhancing the toxicity of the drugs. Different types of cancer cells have different inhibitory rates on cells. For example, the inhibitory effect of the rotenol-malonic acid-dequinoline chloride compound on HepG-2 cells is more obvious than that on A549 cells. This may be because the mechanism by which this prodrug promotes apoptosis in HepG-2 cells is different from that in other cells such as A549, resulting in different results. However, overall, this prodrug has a good inhibitory effect on several types of cancer cells.
