[0033] Example 2

[0034] This example is the application of the coumarin derivative (NP845) prepared in Example 1 for the preparation of an anti-prostate cancer drug.

[0035] This example uses LNCaP cell line as the research object, and the cell line is purchased from Wuhan Punsen Life Science and Technology Co., Ltd.

[0036] The cell counting method (CCK8 method) was used to determine the proliferation inhibition effect of NP845 on LNCaP: 10% fetal bovine serum and 100 U / mL penicillin-streptomycin (1:1) were added to RPMI 1640 medium, LNCaP cells were inoculated in a 96-well plate, and cultured at 37°C in 5% carbon dioxide for 24 hours. The cells were observed to be well attached and growing under a microscope. Different concentrations of NP845 were added and cultured for 12 hours. 1 / 10 volume of cell counting reagent (CCK8) was added and cultured for another 2 hours. The absorbance at 450 nm was read using an enzyme marker.

[0037] Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the inhibition effect of NP845 on the proliferation of LNCaP cells is shown in Figure 1. Figure 4 It can be seen that the ETA positive tool drug atrasentan can significantly inhibit the proliferation of LNCaP cells, and the IC 50 50 of NP845 on LNCaP cell proliferation is 47.71 μM, which is in the same order of magnitude as atrasentan, indicating that NP845 has good in vitro pharmacological activity.

[0038] The experiment shows that the coumarin derivative NP845 can significantly inhibit the proliferation of prostate cancer cells LNCaP in vitro, and the IC 50 50 is 47.71 μM.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] This example is the application of the coumarin derivative (NP845) prepared in Example 1 for the preparation of an anti-prostate cancer drug.

[0041] Western blot was used to determine the inhibitory effect of NP845 on ETA in LNCaP cells: LNCaP cells were inoculated in 96-well plates in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 100 U / mL penicillin-streptomycin (1:1) and cultured at 37°C in 5% carbon dioxide for 24 hours. The cells were observed under a microscope to be well adhered and in good condition. NP845 was added to a concentration of 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 μM, respectively, and cultured for 12 hours. The cells were treated with RIPA lysis buffer, and equal amounts of cells were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The gel was transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, which was blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin and then incubated with 1:1000 diluted ETA primary antibody at room temperature for 2 hours. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody was added and incubated overnight.

[0042] Figure 5 Western blot was used to analyze the inhibitory effect of NP845 on ETA in LNCaP cells. Figure 5 It was found that NP845 inhibited the expression of ETA in LNCaP cells in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that NP845 is a specific inhibitor of ETA.

LNCaP cells were suspended in Matrigel to a concentration of (5 x 10 7 The nude mouse model was divided into four groups, with eight mice in each group. During the 21-day administration period, docetaxel was administered only on days 1, 4, 7, and 9 at a dose of 5 mg / Kg via tail vein injection, while NP845 was administered continuously for 21 days via intraperitoneal injection.

[0046] The tumor was collected 12 hours after the last administration, and the tumor volume was measured along two orthogonal axes using a caliper. In vivo mouse experiments showed that NP845 at a dose of 20 mg / kg in combination with docetaxel significantly inhibited the proliferation rate of the tumor. The concentration of specific antigens in the tumor tissue of each group of nude mice was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

[0047] Figure 7Fig. 6 is a graph showing the tumor volume and serum prostate cancer specific antigen index of nude mice, wherein (A) is a graph showing the tumor volume index of LNCaP cell transplanted tumors treated with NP845, and (B) is a graph showing the tumor specific antigen index. The results show that NP845 can significantly inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and reduce the concentration of specific antigen in tumor tissue. Figure 7 It can be seen that NP845 can significantly inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and reduce the concentration of specific antigen in tumor tissue at a dose of 20 mg / kg, which indicates that NP845 can be used for the treatment of prostate cancer.
