Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry technology, specifically relating to a CRBN small molecule ligand compound based on a pyridazine-glutarimide core skeleton (PDG), its composition and its application, and also to a protein degrading agent based on a CRBN small molecule ligand compound based on a pyridazine-glutarimide core skeleton (PDG) and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Cereblon (CRBN) is the substrate receptor protein of the CRL4CRBN isoform of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. It, along with DDB1 (Damage-specific DNA Binding protein 1), zinc finger domain protein RBX1, and Cullin4 (Cul4) scaffold protein, forms the DDB1–Cul4–Rbx1–CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, which determines the substrate specificity of the CRL4 E3 ubiquitin ligase. It is widely expressed in the cytoplasm, nucleus, and peripheral membranes of the prostate, liver, pancreas, placenta, kidney, lung, peripheral blood leukocytes, and brain. E3 ubiquitin ligases specifically recognize substrate proteins and induce polyubiquitination of these proteins. This leads to the degradation of ubiquitinated substrate proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, thereby affecting various physiological activities such as cellular energy metabolism, membrane potential regulation, and transcription factor degradation.
[0003] In 2010, Ito et al. first confirmed that the direct target of thalidomide is CRBN, a substrate receptor protein of an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Following increasing evidence indicating that immunomodulators exert their antitumor effects by targeting CRBN, three articles in the same issue of *Science* in 2014 [34-36] elucidated at the molecular level that immunomodulators exert their anti-multiple myeloma effects through a protein ubiquitination degradation mechanism. The CRL4CRBN (CUL4-Roc1-DDB1-CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligase is composed of Cullin-4A (Cul4A) protein, regulator of cullins 1 (Roc1) protein, damaged DNA binding protein 1 (DDB1) protein, and CRBN (cereblon) protein. Cul4A functions as a scaffold, while Roc1 contains a ring finger domain associated with E2 ubiquitin-binding enzymes. CRBN acts as a substrate receptor within this domain, directly binding to specific substrates and mediating their ubiquitination. This ubiquitin ligase labels specific proteins via ubiquitin (Ub). Ubiquitin-labeled proteins are recognized as damaged or defective by the proteasome, leading to their hydrolysis. The interaction of immunomodulators with this E3 ubiquitin ligase activates its activity, which is fundamental to the cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects of immunomodulators.
[0004] The ubiquitination-proteasome degradation pathway is a common and important endogenous protein degradation process that requires several consecutive steps: 1. ATP provides energy to covalently bind the C-terminus of ubiquitin to the cysteine residue of E1 ubiquitin activator; 2. E1 ubiquitin activator transfers ubiquitin to E2 ubiquitin conjugate, which then transfers ubiquitin to the -NH2 residue of the target protein's lysine residue; 3. E3 ubiquitin ligase recruits the substrate protein and catalyzes the binding of ubiquitin on E2 ubiquitin conjugate to the substrate protein; 4. The 26S proteasome specifically recognizes the ubiquitin-tagged substrate protein and hydrolyzes it.
[0005] When immunomodulators such as thalidomide bind to CRBN, they activate the activity of E3 ubiquitin ligase, which in turn recruits the substrate proteins IKZF1 / IKZF3 (Ikaros / Aiolos are zinc finger transcription factors that play an important role in blood cell differentiation). Subsequently, the E3 ubiquitin ligase, the substrate proteins IKZF1 / IKZF3, and the immunomodulator form a stable ternary complex, thereby transferring ubiquitin to the substrate proteins IKZF1 / IKZF3, which then leads to the degradation of IKZF1 / IKZF3 by the 26S proteasome. IKZF1 and IKZF3 are essential transcriptional regulators for the proliferation and development of B cells and T cells [John LB, Ward AC. The ikaros gene family: transcriptional regulators of hematopoiesis and immunity[J]. Molecular immunology, 2011, 48(9):1272-1278. and Dijon M, Bardin F, Murati A, et al. The role of ikaros in human erythroid differentiation[J]. Blood, 2008, 111(3):1138-1146]. Under normal circumstances, IKZF3 inhibits the gene encoding IL-2 in T cells and stimulates the expression of IRF4 (a transcription factor that has a stress response to infection). Therefore, the degradation of IKZF1 and IKZF3 directly reduces the expression of transcription factors such as IRF4 and Myc, thereby exerting cytotoxic effects on myeloma cells. On the other hand, the degradation of IKZF1 and IKZF3 increases the expression of IL-2 in T cells, thereby activating the immune response of T cells and inhibiting the function of B cells, achieving tumor killing and tumor proliferation inhibition. At the same time, it reduces the expression of tumor necrosis factor TNF and promotes the secretion of the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. This imbalance leads to apoptosis of multiple myeloma cells. Based on this, in recent years, protein degradation-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) designed using the chemical structures of amine immunomodulators such as thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide have emerged continuously.
[0006] PROTAC, or Proteolysis Targeting Chimera, is a bifunctional molecule consisting of three parts: an E3 ligand unit that binds to a specific E3 ubiquitin ligase, a target protein ligand unit that binds to the target protein, and a linker connecting the two ligands. PROTAC recruits a specific E3 ubiquitin ligase to form a [E3 ubiquitin ligase-PROTAC-target protein] ternary complex, inducing polyubiquitination of the target protein by the recruited E3 ubiquitin ligase, thereby causing degradation of the target protein via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
[0007] Currently, over 100 proteins have been successfully degraded by PROTAC. These targets include (1) kinases, such as RIPK2, BCR-ABL, EGFR, HER2, c-Met, TBK1, CDK2 / 4 / 6 / 9, ALK, Akt, CK2, ERK1 / 2, FLT3, PI3K, BTK, Fak, etc.; (2) BET proteins, such as BRD2 / 4 / 6 / 9; (3) nuclear receptors, such as AR, ER, etc.; (4) other proteins, such as MetAp-2, Bcl-xL, Sirt2, HDAC6, Pirin, SMAD3, ARNT, PCAF / GCN5, Tau, FRS2, etc. It even includes transcription factor regulatory proteins such as Pirin, epigenetic-related proteins such as PCAF / GCN5, and KRAS-G12C, which are considered "undruggable targets".
[0008] In the development of PROTACs, CRBN ligands are the most widely used E3 ubiquitin ligands. By selecting different target protein ligands and CRBN ligands, the designed PROTAC molecules can achieve different effects. However, in reality, there are too few CRBN ligands available to meet the needs of PROTAC development. In view of the problems of immunomodulatory drug resistance, the limited number of CRBN ligands and lack of structural diversity, and the poor chemical stability, easy epimerization in vivo, large number of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, poor solubility, and poor binding activity of widely used amine CRBN ligands, there is an urgent need to develop more CRBN ligands to solve the above problems.
