TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medicine, in particular to a coumarin and CDK inhibitor linked protein degrader and a preparation method thereof, and use thereof in the preparation of a drug for preventing or treating a CDK-related disease. BACKGROUND
[0002] Targeted protein degradation is a very promising biological mechanism research tool and treatment method. By directly degrading target proteins, the problem of drug resistance caused by mutations in target proteins can be overcome. In the past two decades, the PROTAC technology has made great progress, and several PROTAC candidate drugs have entered clinical research. However, the PROTAC technology still faces problems such as insufficient drugability of ubiquitin ligase ligands and dependence on the ubiquitin proteasome system, but many substances in cells are not substrates for proteasome clearance.
[0003] Therefore, there is still a need to develop new protein degraders for degrading target proteins. SUMMARY
[0004] The inventors of the present application took CDK9 distributed in the cytoplasm as an example, connected the ligand of CDK9 at the 5,7 positions of 4-phenylcoumarin through different connection modes, and also investigated the substituents at the 4 position of coumarin, obtaining a series of compounds with degradation effect on CDK9. It is clear that CDK9 can be autophagy degraded by recruiting LC3B, and excellent antitumor effect is shown. The present application first provides that coumarin structure connected with CDK9 inhibitor compounds can autophagy degrade CDK9, show antitumor activity, and it can be speculated that cytoplasmic protein binding compounds connected with this type of coumarin structure can also degrade proteins by recruiting LC3B, produce biological effects, and treat and prevent cytoplasmic protein related diseases. Thus, the present application is completed.
[0005] One of the objects of the present application is to provide a protein degrader.
[0006] The second object of the present application is to provide a preparation method of a protein degrader.
[0007] The third object of the present application is to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising a protein degrader.
[0008] The fourth object of the present application is to provide a use of a protein degrader in the preparation of a drug for treating, preventing or improving a CDK-related disease.
[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects of the present application, the following technical solutions are adopted:
[0010] The present application provides, in a first aspect, a protein degrader or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising:
[0011] at least one moiety that can bind to LC3; and,
[0012] at least one moiety that can bind to CDK;
[0013] a linker for covalently linking each of the moiety that can bind to LC3 independently to the moiety that can bind to CDK.
[0014] LC3 refers to microtubule-associated protein 1A / 1B-light chain 3, which is a soluble protein with a molecular weight of about 17 kDa. LC3 is ubiquitously present in mammalian tissues and cultured cells and is a key component of autophagy, a recycling system of eukaryotic cells. It is incorporated into the inner and outer membranes of autophagosomes during autophagosome biogenesis. Therefore, LC3 is a specific marker of autophagy, especially autophagosome formation.
[0015] CDK refers to cyclin-dependent kinase, a family of serine / threonine kinases.
[0016] The structure of the protein degrader of the present application can be represented as:
[0017] LCBM-Linker-POIL;
[0018] wherein: LCBM represents a moiety that can bind to LC3 (LC3 Binding Moiety, abbreviated as LCBM moiety); Linker represents a covalent linking moiety; and POIL represents a moiety that can bind to CDK (Protein Of Interest Ligand, abbreviated as POIL moiety).
[0019] The LCBM moiety and the POIL moiety can each independently be selected from a small molecule compound.
[0020] In some embodiments, the LCBM moiety and the POIL moiety each independently have a molecular weight of about 100 to about 2,000, preferably about 100 to about 1,000, for example about 100 to about 900, about 100 to about 800, about 100 to about 700, about 100 to about 600, about 100 to about 500.
[0021] The LCBM moiety can be linked to one or more POIL moieties, and vice versa. In the case where there is more than one POIL moiety, the POIL moieties can each be independently selected, and can be the same or different between individual POIL moieties. In some embodiments, there are multiple POIL moieties for the same target. Even for the same target, multiple POIL moieties, which can be the same or each different, can be used in one molecule as desired. When more than one POIL moiety is used, the linkers used can each be independently selected as well.

[0084] Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) of the serine / threonine kinase family are the main driving force of cell cycle regulation mechanisms, which can promote the synthesis of cellular DNA and mitosis by phosphorylating key substrates (Siemeister et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 2012; 11(10): 2265-2273.). CDK9 plays an important role in the transcriptional regulation of the apoptosis regulator Mcl-1 and the proto-oncogene MYC, which are associated with the proliferation and survival of tumor cells (Rahaman et al., Endocrine-Related Cancer. 2016; 23(12): T211-T226.). CDK9 signaling is overactive in a variety of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Inhibition of CDK9 can cause cancer cell growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis, which makes CDK9 a potential and attractive target for cancer therapy (Lee et al., Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs. 2019; 28(11): 989-1001.), in addition, CDK9 has also been shown to play an important role in the pathological processes of viral replication, inflammatory response and cardiovascular disease.

According to the amount of cells, the corresponding amount of 1X loading buffer was added, and after lysis, the sample was boiled at 100°C for 20 min. The same volume of sample was taken and subjected to SDS-PAGE. After electrophoresis, the protein on the gel was transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane using a KINFEI fast transfer instrument. According to the size of the protein, the corresponding band was cut off, and the TBST containing 5% skim milk was blocked for 1 h. The primary antibody was incubated at 4°C overnight. The excess primary antibody was washed with TBST for 10 min each time for a total of three times. The secondary antibody was incubated at room temperature for 1 h. The excess secondary antibody was washed with TBST for 10 min each time for a total of three times. Finally, the band was developed and photographed using a Bio-Rad colorimeter. The results are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 . Figure 1 The CDK9 and Mcl-1 protein levels in U-2932 cells treated with different compounds for 24 h were analyzed.
