Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicine, and more specifically, this invention relates to a combination drug for treating triple-negative breast cancer. Background Technology
[0002] Breast cancer has become the most common malignant tumor in women worldwide, with the highest incidence and mortality rate among female cancers, seriously threatening and harming women's physical and mental health. Different types of breast cancer have significantly different biological characteristics and clinical manifestations. Currently, immunohistochemistry is mainly used clinically to classify breast cancer into four molecular subtypes based on the detection results of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2): luminal A (ER-positive or PR-positive, HER-2-negative, low Ki67 expression), luminal B (ER-positive or PR-positive, HER-2-positive), HER-2 overexpression type (ER and PR-negative, HER-2-positive, Ki67 mostly highly expressed), and basal-like type (ER, PR, and HER-2 all negative). Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), as the most malignant subtype of breast cancer, is characterized by negative ER, PR, and HER-2, and is characterized by high recurrence rate, high early metastasis rate, strong invasiveness, and poor prognosis.
[0003] Currently, chemotherapy is one of the main treatments for breast cancer. Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) have long been recognized as first-line chemotherapy drugs for advanced breast cancer. With the advent of drugs such as paclitaxel, more and more clinicians believe that paclitaxel and cisplatin can also be used as first-line chemotherapy regimens. Nevertheless, the therapeutic efficacy of these chemotherapy drugs still needs further improvement.
[0004] Androgen receptors (ARs) belong to the nuclear receptor family and are ligand-dependent transcription factors. Aberrant regulation of the AR signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the development and progression of prostate cancer; studies have shown that castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) still depends on AR activity. Protein degradation-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), as small molecules capable of inducing target protein degradation, have attracted widespread attention. PROTACs, as bifunctional molecules, consist of a small molecule compound that binds to the target protein (POI), with a linker group introduced at an appropriate position, and then linked to a small molecule compound that binds to ubiquitin proteases. The resulting small probe can simultaneously bind to both the target protein and the ubiquitin protease, thereby promoting the ubiquitination of the target protein. The multiubiquitinated protein can then be recognized and degraded by the proteasome. Using the PROTACs strategy, protein degradation-targeting chimeras (AR PROTACs) capable of targeting and recognizing / binding androgen receptors were prepared. These can regulate androgen receptor levels through the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system, induce androgen receptor degradation, and thus achieve therapeutic effects on androgen receptor-regulated diseases such as prostate cancer.
[0005] However, there are currently no reports of using androgen receptor protein degradation-targeting chimeras to treat triple-negative breast cancer. Summary of the Invention

[0118] Example 1: Efficacy of androgen receptor protein degraders in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (in vitro experiment)
[0119] 1. Experimental Methods
[0120] Triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-453 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were harvested at a concentration of 4 × 10⁻⁶ cells / cells. 3 Cells were seeded at a concentration of [number] cells / well in 96-well plates. The plates were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2, and saturated humidity for 24 or 48 hours. The negative control wells were added with the same volume of RPMI 1640 cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. After incubation for 24 or 48 hours, AR PROTACs compound 162, compound 177, compound 230, compound 259, compound 279, compound 281, compound 282, compound 325, compound 357, compound 400, ARV-110, ARV-766, and the AR inhibitor HC-1119 were added to the 96-well plates, respectively. The concentrations of compounds 177, 230, 259, 279, 281, 282, 325, 357, 400, ARV-110, and ARV-766 were 0 μM, 0.002 μM, 0.005 μM, 0.014 μM, 0.041 μM, 0.123 μM, 0.370 μM, 1.111 μM, 3.333 μM, or 10 μM; the concentrations of HC-1119 were 0 μM, 1.23 μM, 3.70 μM, 11.11 μM, 33.33 μM, or 100 μM.
[0121] After incubating with the drug for 7-10 days, add 10 μL of CCK-8 to each well and continue incubation for 2 hours. Measure the absorbance (OD) of each well using a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm. Calculate the survival rate using Prism software: relative survival rate = (OD value of drug-treated wells / OD value of control wells) × 100%. Alternatively, discard 100 μL of culture medium from each well and add 50 μL of CTG. Shake in the dark for 2 min, incubate for 10 min, and read the values using a microplate reader in Luminescence mode. Calculate the survival rate using Prism software: relative survival rate = (RLU value of drug-treated wells / RLU value of control wells) × 100%.

The plates were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2, and saturated humidity for 24 hours. The negative control wells were added with the same volume of RPMI 1640 cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. After 24 hours of incubation, ARPROTACs compounds 279, 281, and 282, ARV-110, ARV-766, and the PI3K inhibitor Idelalisib were sequentially added to the 96-well plates.
[0147] The concentrations of compounds 279, 281, 282, ARV-110, and ARV-766 were 0 μM, 0.002 μM, 0.005 μM, 0.014 μM, 0.041 μM, 0.123 μM, 0.370 μM, 1.111 μM, 3.333 μM, or 10 μM; the concentrations of Idelalisib were 0 μM, 1.23 μM, 3.70 μM, 11.11 μM, 33.33 μM, or 100 μM.
[0148] After incubating with the drug for 7-10 days, add 10 μL of CCK-8 to each well and continue incubation for 2 hours. Measure the absorbance (OD) of each well using a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm. Calculate the survival rate using Prism software: relative survival rate = (OD value of drug-treated wells / OD value of control wells) × 100%. Alternatively, discard 100 μL of culture medium from each well and add 50 μL of CTG. Shake in the dark for 2 min, incubate for 10 min, and read the values using a microplate reader in Luminescence mode. Calculate the survival rate using Prism software: relative survival rate = (RLU value of drug-treated wells / RLU value of control wells) × 100%. Then, determine the drug combination effect using the Combination Index (CI). The determination criteria are as follows: when CI < 1, it indicates that the combined drug treatment has a synergistic effect.
[0149] 2. Experimental Results
[0150] The results of combined use of compounds 279, 281, 282, ARV-110, ARV-766, and Idelalisib are as follows: Figures 19 to 28 As shown, when the molar ratio of compounds 279, 281, 282, ARV-110, ARV-766, and Idelalisib is 1:270 to 1:3.333, the combined use of these compounds exhibits a synergistic effect in inhibiting the growth of MDA-MB-453 cells, and may be used for the synergistic treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.
