Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to STAT3 inhibitors, PROTAC molecules, their preparation methods and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins belong to the cytoplasmic transcription factor family and are responsible for the transduction of extracellular cytokine and growth factor signals, as well as the activation of gene transcription. STATs have dual functions of signal transduction and transcription activation. When cytokines or growth factors activate their corresponding receptors, STAT proteins are activated, transducing extracellular signals into the cell nucleus, thereby regulating the transcription and expression of related genes (J.Med.Chem.2021,64,8884-8915.). There are seven STAT family members in mammalian cells, including STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5α, STAT5β, and STAT6, which share 20-50% homology. Many genes related to cell cycle control, cell survival, and immune responses are regulated by STAT proteins. STAT3 controls cell cycle progression and anti-apoptosis; therefore, it is most commonly associated with the development and poor prognosis of various human cancers. Besides its involvement in cancer progression, STAT3 is also involved in the development of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, atherosclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, STAT3 has become an attractive therapeutic target for cancer, immune, and inflammatory diseases, and developing inhibitors for STAT3-related disease treatment has become an important direction in drug research. Over the past two decades, numerous compounds that directly inhibit STAT3 activity have been discovered using strategies such as virtual screening and high-throughput screening (Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica, 2018, 53(10):1598-1608). However, no drugs have yet been approved for clinical use.
[0003] In 2001, Sakamoto et al. first proposed the concept of protein hydrolysis target chimeras (PROTACs), demonstrating that the degradation of target proteins (POIs) could be artificially induced through PROTAC technology (Prc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2001, 98(15), 8554-8559.). A PROTAC is a bifunctional molecule composed of three parts: a ligand for binding to the target protein, a ligand for the E3 ubiquitin ligase, and an intermediate chemical linker connecting the two functional ligands. PROTAC molecules can specifically bind to the target protein and induce POI degradation by catalyzing the binding to the E3 ubiquitin ligase through a given E3 ubiquitin ligand ligand. PROTAC technology can not only solve the problems of drug resistance and off-target effects commonly found in current antitumor drug research, but also, designing PROTAC degraders of STAT3 as a new strategy for effectively targeting STAT3 may provide a feasible approach for the treatment of STAT3-related diseases.
[0004] In 2019, Wang Shaomeng's team reported a STAT3 protein degrader designed based on SI-109 [J.Med.Chem.2019,62,24,11280–11300], SD-36PROTAC molecule can effectively degrade STAT3 protein in leukemia cells and inhibit Molm-16 cell proliferation; in 2021, Neamati's team reported a STAT3 protein degrader designed based on Napabucasin (J.Med.Chem.2021,64,3,1626–1648), XD2-149 PROTAC molecule can inhibit STAT3 signal transduction in pancreatic cancer cell lines without causing proteasome-dependent STAT3 degradation; in 2022, Qin Jiangjiang's team reported a STAT3 protein degrader designed based on S3I-201 (Front.Pharmacol.13:944455), SDL-1PROTAC molecule achieved in vitro degradation of STAT3 protein and has good anti-gastric cancer cell proliferation activity. Currently, there are very few applications of PROTAC technology on STAT3 protein. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a PROTAC molecule that can significantly target and degrade STAT3 protein in tumor cells, especially STAT3 protein in non-small cell lung cancer cells. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0039] This invention provides STAT3 inhibitors, PROTAC molecules, their preparation methods, and applications. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this invention clearer and more explicit, the invention is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0040] The pentafluorophenylsulfonamide derivative BP-1-102 is an orally available STAT3-SH2 domain inhibitor and has the greatest potential for clinical application. BP-1-102 has a strong binding affinity for STAT3 (Kd = 504 nM), inhibits the DNA-binding activity of STAT3 (IC50 = 6.8 μM), and can selectively inhibit the growth, survival, migration, and invasion of STAT3-dependent tumor cells, while also inhibiting the growth of MDA-MB-231 and A549 xenograft tumors (PNAS. 109(24) 9623-9628). Currently, there are no reports on its use for the targeted degradation of STAT3 in cancer treatment.
[0041] The inventors conceived of designing and modifying the BP-1-102 molecule as a target protein binding ligand. Based on the predictions of the molecular docking model, they retained the phenylsulfonamide and pentafluorobenzene fragments, which bind well to the binding pocket, while removing the isopropylbenzene fragment. This yielded a novel STAT3 inhibitor as a ligand (POI) for binding to the target protein. Hypothesizing that its carboxyl moiety might be the solvent-exposed region of a linker of varying lengths, they used thalidomide as a ligand for the E3 ligase CRBN and designed and synthesized a series of PROTACs molecules that target and degrade STAT3 proteins via linker linkage.
[0042] Specifically, this invention provides a STAT3 inhibitor, wherein the chemical structural formula of the STAT3 inhibitor is shown in Figure II:

[0048] S2. Dissolve the tert-butyl N-methyl-N-((pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl)glycine salt in dichloromethane, add trifluoroacetic acid, and stir to obtain N-methyl-N-((pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl)glycine;
[0049] S3. Dissolve the N-methyl-N-((pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl)glycine in thionyl chloride and reflux to obtain N-methyl-N-((pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl)glycyl chloride;

[0070] Example 1
[0071] The synthetic route for 4-(2-((2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro-N-tolyl)sulfonamide)acetamido)benzoic acid (STAT3 inhibitor) is as follows:
[0072]
[0073] The specific steps are as follows: 20 mmol of tert-butyl sarcosinate (compound 1 in the synthetic route) and 3 eq of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride (DIPEA) were dissolved in anhydrous acetonitrile and cooled to 0°C. Then, 22 mmol of 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride was added. The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was quenched with water, and the aqueous layer was extracted 2 to 3 times with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution and brine. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous Na2SO4. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography in a mobile phase PE:EA (20:1) to obtain tert-butyl N-methyl-N-((pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl)glycine salt (compound 3 in the synthetic route). The obtained tert-butyl N-methyl-N-((pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl)glycine salt (16.3 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL of DCM and stirred. 50 mL of TFA was added, and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give N-methyl-N-((pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl)glycine (compound 4 in the synthetic route). The obtained N-methyl-N-((pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl)glycine was directly dissolved in sulfoxide, refluxed for 3 hours, and then directly evaporated to dryness for the next step. Add 10 mmol of p-aminobenzoic acid (compound 6 in the synthetic route), 10 mL of dichloromethane, and 30 mmol of triethylamine to a 100 mL round-bottom flask. Add 15 mmol of N-methyl-N-((pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl)glycyl chloride (compound 5 in the synthetic route) dropwise under ice bath conditions. After the addition is complete, remove the ice bath and let the mixture incubate overnight at room temperature. After the reaction is complete, acidify directly with 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid. A solid precipitates; filter and collect the precipitate. Recrystallization from tetrahydrofuran-hexane solution yields 4-(2-((2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro-N-tolyl)sulfonylamino)acetamido)benzoic acid (compound 7 in the synthetic route), i.e., the STAT3 inhibitor.

[0154] Example 12
[0155] Using lung cancer cells H1299 and liver cancer cells HepG2 as test cells, the in vitro antiproliferative activity of compounds against H1299 and HepG2 cells was determined using the CCK-8 assay. An appropriate amount of cells in the logarithmic growth phase were resuspended in culture medium, inverted 10 times to mix, and seeded at a density of 2000 cells / well in 96-well plates (100 μL of cell suspension per well). The plates were incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2. The next day, 100 μL of different concentrations of the test compound prepared with culture medium were added to each well (with a blank control). After incubation for 96 hours at 37°C with 5% CO2, 10 μL of CCK-8 was added to each well, and incubation continued for 2 hours. The OD450 absorbance was read using a microplate reader, and the experiment was repeated three times. Data were analyzed using Graphpad Prism software to determine the IC50. 50 Table 1 shows the IC50 values of the compounds disclosed in this invention for inhibiting the proliferation of H1299 and HepG2 cells. 50 .

[0158] The results in Table 1 show that the PROTAC molecules prepared in Examples 2-11 have different linker chains. PROTAC molecules with shorter linker chains exhibit better inhibitory effects on tumor cell proliferation than those with longer linker chains. It is speculated that this is because the different linker chain lengths result in different spatial structures for the PROTAC molecules. These different spatial structures can form a more suitable spatial relationship with the STAT3 protein, thus producing better adaptability and influencing the formation of the "target protein-PROTAC-E3 ubiquitin ligase" ternary complex, ultimately affecting the selectivity of the molecule for the target protein and ligand.
[0159] Taking the PROTAC molecule S3D1 prepared in Example 2 as an example, the degradation effect of the compound on STAT3 protein in H1299 and HepG2 cells was investigated by Western blot. Experimental method: H1299 and HepG2 cells in logarithmic growth phase were treated with different concentrations of the compound (DMSO as solvent control) and cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 h; or H1299 and HepG2 cells in logarithmic growth phase were treated with 5 μM of the compound and cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 0 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 30 h, 36 h, and 48 h, respectively. Cells were lysed with RIPA lysis buffer, proteins were collected, and sonicated. The expression of STAT3 protein in the cells was detected by Western blot.
[0160] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the results indicate that the PROTAC molecule S3D1 prepared in the embodiments of the present invention can significantly degrade STAT3 protein in H1299 and HepG2 cells. Figure 1 (a) and Figure 2 The results in (a) indicate that, within a certain concentration range, the higher the concentration of PROTAC molecule S3D1, the more significant the degradation effect on STAT3 protein. Figure 1 As shown in (b), at this concentration, PROTAC molecule S3D1 significantly degraded STAT3 protein in H1299 cells within 3 hours. Figure 2 As shown in (b), the degradation effect of PROTAC molecule S3D1 on STAT3 protein in HepG2 cells gradually increased with time.
[0161] It should be understood that the application of the present invention is not limited to the examples above.
