TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of fused pyrimidine compounds or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt and preparation method and application thereof, belong to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cdc48 (Cell Division Cycle 48) was first isolated and identified in 1982 by Moir et al. in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is an ATPase. It was named because of its close relationship with cell cycle arrest. Later, Koller and Brownstein found a mammalian homolog, which was named p97 or Valosine Containing Protein (VCP). Mammalian p97 is composed of six identical subunits, each consisting of an N-terminal domain, a D1 domain, a D2 domain and a C-terminal extension, with a molecular weight of 92KD. Studies have shown that the D1 domain is involved in oligomerization and hexamer assembly, and is the main factor for the stability of the hexamer. The D1 and D2 domains of each subunit contain conserved ATP binding (Walker A) and hydrolysis (Walker B) sequences, as well as a second homologous region (SRH) necessary for efficient hydrolysis. Therefore, p97 contains 12 ATPase active sites. However, under physiological conditions (37℃), the D1 domain only shows weak ATPase activity, while the D2 domain has strong ATPase activity.
[0003] P97 is one of the most abundant proteins in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, which is involved in many cellular processes, including ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) mediated protein degradation, endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation (ERAD), nuclear membrane fusion after mitotic completion, Golgi reorganization, transcription activation and autophagy, cell cycle control, apoptosis and chaperone activity. P97 is involved in various protein quality control pathways, and the most studied is its role in ERAD. P97 transfers misfolded polyubiquitinated proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen to the cytosol, and then transports them to the proteasome for degradation.
[0004] Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is an important transcription factor. NF-κB is involved in the regulation of a variety of genes and plays an important role in physiological and pathological processes through the regulation of inflammation, apoptosis and immune response. In the basic state, the NF-κB heterodimer composed of proteins p50 and p65 is combined with inhibitor protein I-κBα (NF-κB inhibitor α) or related proteins to maintain an inactive state and prevent the NF-κB dimer from entering the nucleus to bind to DNA. The activation of the transcription factor requires the degradation of I-κBα, which depends on p97. When cells are stimulated by factors such as bacteria, viruses, inflammatory factors, tumor necrosis factor, radiation and drugs, as part of the signal cascade, both p65 and I-κBα are phosphorylated. After phosphorylation, Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase CRL1β-TrCP ubiquitinates I-κBα to recruit p97. p97 binds to polyubiquitinated I-κBα and dissociates from NF-κB, which is then degraded by 26S proteasome. The dissociated NF-κB dimer translocates to the nucleus to regulate its target genes.
[0005] Studies have shown that siRNA-induced p97 knockdown can cause ER stress and activate UPR, leading to apoptosis through UPS inhibition and caspase activation. p97 is highly expressed in various solid and hematological tumors, such as non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and leukemia, and plays an important role in maintaining cellular protein homeostasis. P97 inhibition can preferentially kill cancer cells with high protein synthesis load. Given the important role of p97 in ERAD and NF-κB regulation, targeting p97 inhibition can retain most of the efficacy of proteasome inhibitors but with less toxicity compared to inhibiting proteasome function. However, although a variety of p97 inhibitors have been developed, most of them cannot be developed into drugs. Therefore, there is a need to develop compounds suitable for inhibiting p97 activity and having good drugability for the treatment of tumors. SUMMARY

[0157] Example 9 In vitro p97 inhibition experiment
[0158] P97 converts the chemical energy produced by ATP hydrolysis into mechanical energy to perform its function, and is involved in a series of cellular processes. Therefore, inhibiting the ability of p97 to hydrolyze ATP can inhibit its function, thereby exerting a pharmacological effect. The synthesized compounds of the present application are ATP competitive inhibitors of the D2 domain of p97, which can competitively bind to the ATP binding site of the D2 domain to inhibit ATP hydrolysis. Therefore, we screened the inhibitory activity of the series of compounds on p97 by detecting the generation of ADP using ATP as a substrate.
[0159] 1. The determination scheme is as follows:
[0160] (1) Accurately weigh the compounds V1-V17 to be tested, dissolve in DMSO to make the concentration 10 mM. After dilution 20 times with DMSO and then 25 times with water, a drug solution with a concentration of 20 μM is obtained. Take this as the starting concentration, dilute 3 times, a total of 9 concentration points, and the tenth concentration point is the blank control group. Compound CB-5339 is the positive control, and water containing 1% DMSO is used as the solvent control.

[0171] Example 10 Study on the proliferation inhibition activity of compounds on tumor cells
[0172] According to the experimental results of the inhibition activity of p97 in Example 9, the compounds with IC 50 values less than 0.2 μM for p97 inhibition were further tested for their proliferation inhibition effect on colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116 cells and multiple myeloma cell line RPMI-8226 cells.
[0173] 1, The determination scheme is as follows:
[0174] The HCT-116 cell line is derived from ATCC, and the culture conditions are 5A (GIBCO #16600082) + 10% FBS, 5% CO2; the A549 cell line is derived from ATCC, and the culture conditions are F-12K (GIBCO #21127022w / o HEPS) + 10% FBS, 5% CO2; the RPMI-8226 cell line is derived from ATCC, and the culture conditions are RPMI-1640 (GIBCO #11875119w / o HEPS) + 10% FBS + 25mM HEPES, 5% CO2.
[0175] HCT-116, A549, and RPMI-8226 cell suspensions in logarithmic growth phase were added to 384-well plates at a volume of 18 μL per well, with cell counts of 600, 400, and 2000 cells / well, respectively. The edges were sealed with PBS or basal medium, and the plates were incubated for 24 h. Then, 2 μL of different concentrations of the compound (initial concentration 10 μM, 3-fold dilution) were added to each well. Control wells contained no drug, and zeroing wells contained neither cells nor drug. The plates were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 72 h. Next, 20 μL of Cell Titer Glo assay reagent was added to each well, and the plates were incubated for 10 minutes. The fluorescence intensity of each well was measured using a microplate reader, and the cell inhibition rate was calculated using the following formula. The IC50 value for each compound was calculated using GraphPad Prism 8.0 software. 50 value.

[0177] 2. The experimental results of the study on the inhibitory activity of tumor cells on proliferation are shown in Table 3.
[0178] Table 3 shows the antiproliferative activity of some compounds against HCT-116 and RPMI-8226 cell lines.
[0179]

[0181] The results in Table 3 show that multiple compounds have different IC50 values for HCT-116 and RPMI8226 cells. 50 Compounds with concentrations below 1.0 μM all exhibited good inhibitory activity. In the proliferation inhibition experiment of the colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116, compounds V2 (0.7 μM) and V15 (0.7 μM) showed the same inhibitory effect on HCT-116 cell proliferation as CB-5339 (0.7 μM). However, compound V14 showed better inhibitory activity, with an IC50 value below 1.0 μM. 50 The value was only 0.4 μM; in the results of inhibiting the proliferation of multiple myeloma cell line RPMI-8226, compounds V2, V14, and V15 showed better inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of only 0.4 μM. 50 The values were 0.3 μM, 0.8 μM and 0.5 μM, respectively, which were better than the positive control CB-5339 (0.9 μM).
[0182] In the following PK experiment of V15, it was found that it was partially metabolized into V14 in vivo, so further activity screening of V14 and V15 was carried out in multiple cell lines, and the cell line culture conditions and the number of cells plated per well in 384-well plates are shown in Table 4, and the anti-proliferative activity of compounds V14 and V15 on multiple cell lines is shown in Table 5.

[0191] 1. The determination scheme is as follows:
[0192] (1) Weigh a certain amount of the compound to be tested, dissolve it in DMSO to make its concentration 10 mM, then add Acetonitrile / H2O (1:1, v:v) to obtain a working solution with a concentration of 100 μM.
[0193] (2) Take the liver microsomes (20 mg protein / mL) from the -80°C refrigerator, place them on a 37°C water bath constant temperature oscillator for 3 min of pre-incubation, and thaw for use.

[0201] 2. The experimental results of the liver microsomal stability study are shown in Table 7.
[0202] Table 7 Stability of compounds V14, V15, and CB-5339 in liver microsomes of different species
[0203]
[0204] As can be seen from Table 7, compound V15 is metabolized relatively quickly in liver microsomes of five species, and the T 1 / 2 of V15 in human liver microsomes is only 13.3 min, and the T 1 / 2 in mouse, dog, and monkey liver microsomes is even less than 10 min. However, the T 1 / 2 of compound V14 in human, dog, and monkey liver microsomes is greater than 120 min, showing good stability. These results show that V14 in rat plasma in the pharmacokinetic experiment is likely to be produced by the metabolism of V15 in liver microsomes.
[0205] Example 12 Pharmacokinetic study
[0206] 1. The determination scheme is as follows:
[0207] The preparation method of the drug solution is as follows: a certain amount of V14, V15 and CB-5339 is precisely weighed into a glass bottle, dissolved in a certain volume of DMSO and polyoxyethylene castor oil, after the solution is clear, add normal saline (DMSO: castor oil: normal saline = 5:5:90, v:v) and adjust pH = 4, ultrasonic dissolution, so that its final concentration is 0.5 mg / mL (for injection) and 2 mg / mL (for oral administration). 6 SD male rats, weighing 220±20g, are randomly divided into two groups, and the compounds V14, V15 and CB-5339 are given by tail vein injection at a dose of 1.00 mg / kg and oral administration at a dose of 10 mg / kg, respectively. Blood samples are collected before administration and at 2 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h and 24 h after administration, about 0.20 mL of blood is taken from the orbit and placed in a centrifuge tube containing heparin, and centrifuged at 4°C (6800g, 6 min). After centrifugation, 20 μL of plasma sample is taken, 200 μL of propranolol / glibenclamide-acetonitrile solution containing 10 ng / mL is added for protein precipitation, vortexed for 5 min, then the above sample is placed in a centrifuge and centrifuged at 5500g for 10 min. 150 μL of supernatant is taken, 150 μL of water is added for dilution, and 20 μL of sample is taken after vortexing. The sample is analyzed by LC / MS / MS, and the pharmacokinetic parameters are calculated using Winonlin software. The remaining plasma samples are stored in a -80°C refrigerator.
[0208] 2. The results of the pharmacokinetic study experiment are shown in Table 8.
[0209] Table 8. PK results of SD rats after single dose oral and tail vein injection of compounds V15 and CB-5339
[0210]
[0211] As shown by the results in Table 8, the elimination half-life of compound CB-5339 by oral and tail vein is 1.23 h and 0.38 h, respectively. After single dose oral administration of 10 mg / kg CB-5339, the C max and AUC 0-inf values in plasma are 444 ng / mL and 796 ng·h / mL, respectively, and the oral bioavailability is 20%. After oral or tail vein injection of V15, V15 is rapidly metabolized to V14 in vivo. The oral half-life of V14 in plasma is 3.52 h, and the tail vein half-life is 3.83 h, which is much higher than that of CB-5339. The T max of V14 in plasma is 0.25 h, which is half of that of CB-5339, and the oral absorption speed is faster. After single dose oral administration of 10 mg / kg V15, the C max and AUC 0-infThe values were 1070 ng / mL and 1412 ng-h / mL, respectively, which were much higher than the plasma drug concentration of CB-5339. The oral bioavailability of V15 was calculated to be 29.7% based on the results of V14 alone.
[0212] Example 13 In vivo toxicity study
[0213] 1. The experimental scheme is as follows:
[0214] A certain amount of compound V15 was weighed and ultrasonically dispersed in sodium chloride injection containing 0.3% CMC-Na. The concentration of V15 was prepared to be 10 mg / mL, and the concentration of CB-5339 was prepared to be 5 mg / mL.
[0215] Each group of mice was given intragastrically (ig) once a day, respectively, as control group (blank solvent), V15 (50 mg / kg), V15 (100 mg / kg), CB-5339 (50 mg / kg), CB-5339 (100 mg / kg). The volume of administration was 0.1 mL / 10 g of animal body weight, and the administration was continuous for 15 days. The size of the tumor was measured with a vernier caliper. The tumor volume (TV) was calculated as: V = (length x width 2 ) / 2.
[0216] The results of the change in body weight of mice after continuous administration are shown in Table 2. Figure 1 The results show that no obvious toxic side effects were observed for compound CB-5339 at a dose of 50 mg / kg during the in vivo experiment. However, when the dose of CB-5339 was 100 mg / kg, significant weight loss and other side effects were observed on the 4th day, and all died on the 8th day. However, when the dose of compound V15 was 50 mg / kg and 100 mg / kg, no obvious weight loss and other side effects were observed after 15 days of continuous administration, indicating that compound V15 had no obvious toxicity at a dose of 100 mg / kg and showed good safety.
