Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tumor cell inhibitor technology, and in particular to a tumor cell inhibitor, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, thyroid cancer is classified into different subtypes based on its morphological characteristics and pathological tissue origin. Among these, 95% are differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) originating from thyroid follicular epithelial cells, including papillary carcinoma (PTC) and follicular carcinoma (FTC). PTC is the most common histological subtype, accounting for approximately 90% of differentiated thyroid cancers. Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) originates from parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland and belongs to the neuroendocrine tumors of the thyroid gland, exhibiting a certain familial genetic predisposition. Undifferentiated thyroid cancer (ATC), also known as anaplastic thyroid cancer, is one of the most malignant and deadliest malignant tumors currently known, with a median survival of only 3-6 months. ATC is a rare subtype of thyroid cancer, accounting for 1%-2% of all malignant thyroid tumors. It can develop from follicular cells or dedifferentiate from DTC.

[0003] Currently, traditional treatment strategies mainly consist of three steps: surgery, radioactive iodine (I-I), and radioactive iodine (I-I). 131 I) Treatment, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression therapy. Most patients with diabetic thyroid cancer (DTC) have a relatively good overall prognosis after surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, and TSH suppression, with a 10-year survival rate exceeding 90%. However, a small number of patients experience disease progression. During follow-up, it was observed that 20% of patients relapsed within 10 years, and approximately 10% developed cervical lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis. Radioactive iodine resistance is one of the main characteristics of thyroid cancer progression. It refers to the inability of papillary thyroid carcinoma cells to take up radioactive iodine during the first or subsequent radioactive iodine therapy in PTC patients. The presence of iodine resistance often indicates a poor prognosis; the 10-year survival rate for these patients is less than 10%, and treatment options are limited. The disease progresses rapidly, posing significant challenges to clinicians. Furthermore, due to the dedifferentiated phenotype and high invasiveness of acute thyroid cancer (ATC), many patients are no longer candidates for surgical resection, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are often ineffective. 131 The efficacy of I is not ideal, and its treatment poses a great challenge to clinicians.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new treatment strategies for patients with advanced thyroid cancer in order to improve the overall prognosis of these patients. Summary of the Invention

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms used in the following embodiments have the same meanings as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs. The experimental reagents used in the following embodiments are all conventional biochemical reagents unless otherwise specified; and the experimental methods described are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified.

[0042] As described in the background, there is an urgent need to find new treatment strategies for patients with advanced thyroid cancer to improve the overall prognosis of thyroid cancer patients. With the progress of tumor molecular biology research and the in-depth study of the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer, molecular targeted therapy has become a hot research topic. Multi-target receptor tyrosine drugs can inhibit multiple signaling pathways of thyroid cancer and also can resist angiogenesis, greatly improving the plight of patients with advanced and late-stage thyroid cancer who have no available drugs. With the in-depth study of the molecular mechanisms of thyroid cancer, more and more cancer proteins are expected to become potential targets for thyroid cancer treatment, providing new candidate drugs.

[0043] It has been reported in the related art that many sequence similarity 20 family protein C (Fam20C) substrates are related to tumor cell apoptosis and metastasis, including insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs), osteopontin (OPN), several extracellular proteases and serine protease inhibitors. Fam20 plays an important role in the secretion pathway of phosphorylated proteins and proteoglycans.

[0044] The human genome encodes three Fam20 paralogs: Fam20A, Fam20B, and Fam20C. Among them, Fam20A lacks the active site residues critical for kinase activity, binds ATP in a catalytically inactive manner, and is therefore a pseudokinase. Fam20B phosphorylates xylose residues to regulate proteoglycan synthesis. Fam20C is a true Golgi tyrosine kinase and a secreted protein with kinase activity that can phosphorylate a series of secreted proteins involved in biomineralization, lipid homeostasis, wound healing, cell adhesion, and migration. Its structure and function have been extensively studied in recent years, and it can phosphorylate the Ser-X-Glu / pSer motif. Studies have shown that Fam20C plays an important role in the occurrence and development of malignant tumors such as breast cancer, lung cancer, and glioma, and inhibition of Fam20C can effectively inhibit the progression of triple-negative breast cancer. Related art verified the inhibitory effect of FL-1607 (the structural formula thereof is shown in Figure 1 a) on Fam20C and the proliferation inhibitory activity on breast cancer cells in 2016. In 2021, a class of Fam20C inhibitors was reported in the related art, among which compound 3r (the structural formula thereof is shown in Figure 1 b) has the best activity, which exhibits proliferation inhibitory activity on three breast cancer cells with IC 50 values between 5.986 μM and 10.335 μM.

[0045] In addition to high expression in breast cancer cells, the inventors' previous studies found that Fam20C is also highly expressed in thyroid cancer and is closely related to malignant biology. Further biological experiments showed that knocking down Fam20C can significantly inhibit the proliferation and invasion of thyroid cancer cells, which also suggests that it can be a potential target for thyroid cancer treatment.

[0046] To verify the above guess, in the previous experiment, the inventors used Fam20C inhibitor 3r to treat DTC cell lines, and found that it can significantly inhibit the progression of thyroid cancer through in vivo and in vitro experiments. However, when using 3r to treat ATC cells with higher malignancy, it was found that the anti-tumor effect was not good.

[0047] Therefore, the present application provides a tumor cell inhibitor and its preparation method and application, which has a high inhibitory effect on ATC cells with higher malignancy, and has a good anti-tumor effect.

[0048] The present disclosure will be further described in detail below in combination with specific examples.

[0069] ESI-MS: 538.2 [M+H] + , see Figure 5

[0070] Example 4. Cell proliferation experiment (CCK-8)

[0071] I. Experimental operation:

[0072] (1) In this experiment, four thyroid cancer cell lines, BCPAP, BHT101, K1 and KTC, were selected. All cell lines were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and the culture generation was within 20 generations. If the cell culture dish was observed and the cell growth was fused to 70-80% and the growth state was good, further processing could be carried out. The supernatant culture medium was carefully aspirated with a pipette, and an appropriate amount of PBS buffer was added to the culture dish to gently shake off the residual culture medium. The trypsin was added and observed under a microscope. When most of the cells were digested to the state of floating away from the wall, the digestion was terminated.

[0073] (2) The cells after termination of digestion were moved to a centrifuge tube, the centrifuge speed was set to 800 rpm for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded and the bottom cell precipitate was reserved. The prepared culture medium was added again, among which 1640 culture medium was used for BCPAP, K1 and KTC, and DMEM culture medium was used for BHT101. The cells were suspended by uniform blowing. The whole process should not be blown out too much air bubbles to cause cell breakage. After blowing, the cell concentration in the cell suspension was counted and diluted to an appropriate concentration for plating.

[0074] (3) A sterile 96-well plate was taken and 100 μL of cell suspension was added to the plate. Each cell line was divided into three groups, namely blank control group, compound 3 (tumor cell inhibitor) group and compound 3r (compound shown in Figure 1

[0075] ​​​(4) After culturing for 24 hours, observe the 96-well plate under a microscope. If the cells adhere well, proceed to the next step. Prepare culture media with different drug concentration gradients according to experimental needs (the concentration gradients of compound 3r group and compound 3 group are 0, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 μM, respectively). Pipette out the original culture medium of the 96-well plate, add an appropriate amount of PBS to wash away the residual culture medium, add the experimental drug culture medium, and then place it in an incubator for further culture.

[0076] (5) After the culture is completed, remove the experimental drug culture medium and add the prepared reagent (100 μL serum-free culture medium + 10 μL CCK8 reagent per well) to each well. Place the cells in an incubator and culture for 1-4 h. Take out the 96-well plate and use an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader to detect the absorbance value and record the results.

[0077] II. Experimental Results:

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, compounds 3 and 3r exhibited inhibitory effects on the proliferation of all four cell lines. In BCPAP, KTC, and BHT101 cells, compound 3 at a concentration of 20 μM showed significantly better inhibitory effects on proliferation than compound 3r, with an inhibition efficiency of approximately 80% (p<0.001).

[0079] Example 5: Cloning Experiment

[0080] I. Experimental Procedure:

[0081] (1) In this experiment, two cell lines, BCPAP and BHT101, were selected. Cell culture dishes were observed. If the cells grew to 70%-80% and were in good condition, further treatment could be carried out.

[0082] (2) Carefully remove the supernatant culture medium with a pipette, add an appropriate amount of PBS buffer to the culture dish and gently shake to remove the culture medium residue. After adding trypsin, observe quietly under a microscope. The digestion can be stopped when most of the cells have been digested to the point of floating off the wall.

[0083] (3) Transfer the cells after digestion to centrifuge tubes, set the centrifuge speed to 800 rpm for 5 min, discard the supernatant and keep the cell pellet at the bottom, add the prepared culture medium again, and evenly pipette to suspend the cells, then dilute them to 400 cells / ml and set aside for plating.

[0084] (4) Take out a disposable sterile 24-well plate and place it in a laminar flow hood for later use. Add 500 μL of cell suspension to the plate to ensure 200 cells per well. Each cell line is divided into 3 groups: blank control group, compound 3 group, and compound 3r group. Each group has 3 replicates. After adding the samples, place the plate in an incubator for culture.

[0085] (5) Put the 24-well plate under the microscope to observe, if the cells adhere well, the next step can be performed. According to the experimental requirements, configure different drug culture medium, pipette out the original 24-well plate culture medium, add appropriate PBS to wash the residual culture medium, add experimental drug culture medium, and then put it into the incubator for continuous culture for about 10 days.

[0086] (6) Suck out the culture medium in the hole, wash the residual culture medium with normal saline for 2-3 times, add 4% paraformaldehyde to cover the hole bottom, and fix it at room temperature for half an hour.

[0087] (7) Pour out the paraformaldehyde, add crystal violet staining, wash the crystal violet with tap water after 20 minutes, invert the 24-well plate to dry and count.

[0088] II. Experimental results:
