Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and specifically relates to a polycyclic compound and its isomers, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as a MAT2A inhibitor, a preparation method thereof, a pharmaceutical composition, and use thereof in preparing a compound for treating the cancer in a subject suffering from the cancer. Background Art

[0002] Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) (also known as S-adenosylmethionine synthetase) is a cellular enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM or AdoMet) from methionine and ATP; this catalysis is considered to be the rate-limiting step of the methionine cycle. SAM is an propylamine donor in polyamine biosynthesis and the major methyl donor for DNA methylation, and is involved in gene transcription and cell proliferation as well as the generation of secondary metabolites.

[0003] The three isoforms of human MAT include MAT1 and MAT3, which are expressed in liver tissue, while MAT2A is ubiquitously expressed in human cell types and is the predominant form in human tumors. Crystal structure and mechanistic studies have shown that despite their 85% identity in amino acid sequence, their mechanisms of action differ significantly. MAT2A forms functional homodimers in its purified active form and binds to the regulatory protein MAT2B. MAT2B regulates the activity of MAT2A by increasing the sensitivity of MAT2A to inhibition by the ADOMet product, but does not provide significant rate enhancement. Cellular localization studies have shown that MAT2A is present in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Nuclear condensation of MAT2A has been reported to occur during replication and the subsequent G2 phase, satisfying the high methylation requirements of DNA and histone methylation processes in the nucleus during the S phase. The activity of ADOMet in transmethylation reactions has been identified as a rate-limiting factor in the development of lung cancer stem cells, making MAT2A and related enzymes of the methionine cycle targets for anticancer drugs. Methionine for ADOMet production by MAT2A comes from dietary sources or the polyamine cycle, where 5-methylthio-D-ribose 1-phosphate produced by S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine phosphorylase is recycled to methionine. MAT2A protein expression has been reported to be increased in cancers such as colon cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric cancer, blood and liver cancer. Approximately 15% of human cancers show deletion of the MTAP (S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine phosphorylase) gene and therefore lack the methionine recycling pathway for polyamine synthesis. Loss of MTAP in chr9p21 often includes loss of the CDKN2a tumor suppressor gene locus. Comprehensive genetic lethality studies of MATP- / - cancer cells have shown that these cancer cells have increased sensitivity to inhibition of MAT2A, PRMT5 and PRMT1.

[0004] In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), downregulation of MAT1A and upregulation of MAT2A occur, which is called MAT1A:MAT2A switch. The switch accompanied by upregulation of MAT2B leads to lower SAM content, which provides a growth advantage for liver cancer cells. Since MAT2A plays a vital role in promoting the growth of liver cancer cells, it is a target for anti-tumor therapy. Recent studies have shown that silencing by using small interfering RNA substantially inhibits the growth of liver cancer cells and induces apoptosis. See, for example, T. Li et al., J. Cancer 7 (10) (2016) 1317-1327.

[0005] Some MTAP-deficient cancer cell lines are particularly sensitive to inhibition of MAT2A, Marjon et al. (Cell Reports 15(3)(2016) 574–587). MTAP (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase) is an enzyme widely expressed in normal tissues that catalyzes the conversion of methylthioadenosine (MTA) to adenine and 5-methylthioribose-1-phosphate. Adenine is salvaged to produce adenosine monophosphate, and 5-methylthioribose-1-phosphate is converted to methionine and formate. Due to this salvage pathway, MTA can serve as an alternative purine source when de novo purine synthesis is blocked, for example, by antimetabolites such as L-alanosine.

[0006] In other cancers lacking MTAP deletion, including hepatocellular carcinoma and leukemia, MAT2A is dysregulated. J. Cai et al., Cancer Res. 58 (1998) 1444-1450; TS Jani et al., Cell. Res. 19 (2009) 358-369. Silencing MAT2A expression by RNA interference can produce antiproliferative effects in various cancer models, H. Chen et al., Gastroenterology 133 (2007)

[0007] 207-218; Q. Liu et al. Hepatol. Res. 37 (2007) 376-388.

[0008] Many human and mouse malignant cells lack MTAP activity. MTAP deficiency is not only present in tissue culture cells, but also in primary leukemias, gliomas, melanomas, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), bladder cancer, astrocytomas, osteosarcomas, head and neck cancer, myxoid chondrosarcomas, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, soft tissue sarcomas, non-Hodgkin lymphomas and mesothelioma. The gene encoding human MTAP is located in region 9p21 on human chromosome 9p. This region also contains the tumor suppressor genes p16INK4A (also known as CDKN2A) and p15INK4B. These genes encode p16 and p15, which are inhibitors of cyclin D-dependent kinases cdk4 and cdk6, respectively.

[0009] Alternatively, the p16INK4A transcript can be an alternative reading frame (ARF) spliced ​​into a transcript encoding p14ARF. p14ARF binds to MDM2 and prevents degradation of p53 (Pomerantz et al. (1998) Cell 92: 713-723). The 9p21 chromosome region is of interest because it is often homozygous deleted in a variety of cancers, including leukemia, NSLC, pancreatic cancer, glioma, melanoma, and mesothelioma. Deletions usually inactivate more than one gene. For example, Cairns et al. ((1995) Nat. Gen. 11: 210-212) reported that after studying more than 500 primary tumors, almost all of the deletions identified in these tumors involved a 170kb region containing MTAP, p14ARF, and P16INK4A. Carson et al. (WO99 / 67634) reported that there is a correlation between the stage of tumor development and the homozygosity loss of the gene encoding MTAP and the gene encoding p16. For example, it is reported that the loss of the MTAP gene rather than p16INK4A indicates cancer in the early stages of development, while the loss of the genes encoding p16 and MTAP indicates that cancer is in a more advanced stage of cancer development. In some osteosarcoma patients, the MTAP gene is present at diagnosis, but is missing at a later time point (Garcia-Castellano et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 8 (3) 2002 782-787).

[0010] WO2018039972 discloses MAT2A enzyme inhibitors for treating cancer; WO2021158792 mentions MAT2A inhibitors for treating autoimmune diseases or inflammatory diseases; WO2018045071 describes MAT2A enzyme inhibitors for treating diseases or conditions mediated by overexpression of MAT2A; CN202080014106.0 also discloses the compound 3-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-5-(pyridin-3-ylamino)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7(4H)-one for treating MTAP-deficient non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients in need; CN114874207A discloses MAT2A inhibitors with a 6-in-6 ring core; CN113999232A discloses polycyclic compounds that inhibit MTAP-deficient cancer cells.

[0011] Finding effective MAT2A inhibitors is an important direction for the current development of tumor targeted drugs. Summary of the invention SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0164] Experimental Example 1: Binding ability test of the compound of the present invention to mat2a protein

[0165] Experimental purpose: To detect the binding ability of the compound to MAT2A protein by CETSA experimental method

[0166] Background principle: The CETSA experiment is a molecular detection method to measure the affinity between drugs and target proteins. The principle is that after the drug binds to the target protein, its structure becomes more stable. Use candidate drugs to treat cell or tissue samples. If the candidate drug is an inhibitor of MAT2A, then the candidate drug can bind to MAT2A, making the MAT2A protein more stable. After heating the sample, the MAT2A protein in the sample will be more easily detected by specific antibodies, and the MAT2A protein will be easier to detect through Western blot experiments; conversely, the stability of the MAT2A protein will be worse after heating, and the amount of protein detected will be lower. In this way, the binding ability of the drug to the target protein is evaluated, which is used for the screening of MAT2A protein inhibitors.

[0167] Specific experimental process:

[0168] Take HCT116 cells in the logarithmic growth phase (cell viability>90%), wash the cells 3 times with PBS, centrifuge at 2000g for 2min; lyse on ice for 30min with cell lysis buffer containing protease inhibitor PMSF; use BCA kit to measure the concentration of protein samples. Incubate the samples with candidate drugs, control drugs and control reagents for 30min, heat each group of samples at about 10 set temperature points; restore room temperature, centrifuge the samples at 20000g, collect the supernatant; use sample buffer to heat and denature the protein samples at 100℃ for 10min. After the samples return to room temperature, perform western blot detection on the samples; the protein loading amount is controlled at 20ug. After determining the mutation temperature, the compound concentration gradient is generally set to 9 points, the samples are incubated, and the same operation is performed as above for western blot detection. Protein electrophoresis: the voltage of the concentrated gel is set to 60v, and the voltage of the separation gel is set to 120v; after the electrophoresis is completed, start electrotransfer. The conditions of electroporation were set at 250 mA for 2 hours; 5% BSA was blocked for 1 hour; specific antibody 1 was added and incubated overnight on a shaker at 4°C; TBST was washed 4 times, 2.5 minutes each time; 2 antibodies were incubated on a shaker at room temperature for 1 hour; TBST was washed 4 times, 2.5 minutes each time; ECL was used for development to detect the expression of TYK2 protein in different groups and at various temperature points. Western blot bands were converted and processed by image J and GraphPad software, and EC50 was calculated.

[0169] EC50 is the concentration for 50% of maximal effect (EC50), which refers to the drug concentration that can cause 50% of individuals to be effective. AG270 (Compound 153 reported in CN201780066270.4) of Angios Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. was used as a positive reference compound.

[0170] The EC50 values ​​of each compound are classified according to the following description:

[0171] “+” indicates that the EC50 value is greater than 100 μM;

[0172] “++” indicates that the EC50 value is less than 100 μM and greater than 10 μM;

[0173] "+++" indicates that the EC50 value is less than 10 μM.

[0175]

[0176]

[0177] EC50 experimental data show that the compounds of the present invention have good binding ability with MAT2A protein. Compared with the positive control drug AG270 (prepared according to the preparation method of compound 153 reported in CN201780066270.4), the compounds of the present invention have comparable or even stronger binding ability with MAT2A protein.

[0178] Experimental Example 2: Effect of the compounds of the present invention on HCT116 MTAP - / - Cell proliferation assay

[0179] Experimental purpose: The purpose of this test case is to test the effect of compounds on HCT116 MTAP - / - Cell proliferation effect.

[0180] Background: Methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) is considered a synthetic lethal target in cancers that lack the methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) gene. The MTAP gene is adjacent to the CDKN2A tumor suppressor and is co-deleted with CDKN2A in approximately 15% of cancers. Therefore, the effects of compounds on HCT116 MTAP were tested. - / - The inhibition rate of cell proliferation is used for screening of MAT2A protein inhibitors.

[0181] Specific experimental process:

[0182] Construct HCT116 MTAP knockout cells and screen monoclones. - / - and WT cells, inoculated in 96-well plates, 90uL per well, 1000 cells / well, and incubated overnight at 37°C. On the second day, 10μl of compounds of different concentrations (DMSO final concentration was 1%) were added and incubated at 37°C for 10 days. On the 10th day, the old culture medium was removed, 110ul of culture medium (the ratio of culture medium to CCK8 was 100:10) was added, and incubated at 37°C for 1-4h. The absorbance was detected at 450nM, and the IC50 was calculated by GraphPad software. The compounds were screened by comparing with positive drugs.

[0183] IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) refers to the half inhibitory concentration of the measured antagonist. It indicates the half amount of a drug or substance (inhibitor) in inhibiting a certain biological process (or certain substances contained in this process, such as enzymes, cell receptors or microorganisms). AG270 from Angios Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. was used as a positive reference compound.

[0184] The test results are shown in Table 6 below, where the IC50 values ​​of each compound are classified according to the following description:

[0185] +++ less than 100 nM, ++ between 100 nM and 10 μM, + greater than 10 μM.

[0186] The test results are shown in Table 6 below:

[0187] Table 6: IC50 experimental data

[0188]

[0189]

[0190] The results show that the compounds of the present invention can inhibit HCT116 MTAP-null cells, and the IC50 value reaches nM level, which is equivalent to or less than the positive control drug AG270. This strong inhibitory effect has important therapeutic significance for the treatment of symptoms or diseases related to MAT2A inhibition.

[0191] Experimental Example 3: Determination of the effect of the compounds of the present invention on the function of MAT2A protease

[0192] Experimental purpose: The purpose of this test case is to test the ability of the compound to inhibit the function of MAT2A protease.

[0193] Background Principle: The metabolic enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) plays an important role in metabolism and epigenetics because it is the main producer of the universal methyl donor s-adenosylmethionine (SAM). ATP and L-Met generate SAM and phosphate groups under the action of MAT2A. Therefore, after compound incubation, the ability of the compound to inhibit the enzyme function of MAT2A is evaluated by detecting the amount of SAM generated, which is used for the screening of MAT2A protein inhibitors.

[0194] Specific experimental process:

[0195] MAT2A protein expression: Full-length MAT2A was cloned into the pET24N vector with an n-terminal (His) 6x tag and a tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease cleavage site. The constructed vector was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), and the cells were shaken to an OD of 0.6, and 1mM IPTG was added and cultured at 18°C ​​for 16h. The cells were collected, ultrasonically disrupted, and the supernatant was taken by centrifugation. The protein was purified by Ni-NTA, and the protein concentration and purity were determined after dialysis. SAM assay: Reaction system: add 91-x ul of 50mM TrisHCl pH 7.5, 1.5uL (10 / 3M) of KCl, 1.5uL (1M) of MgCl2, 1uL (100mM) of ATP, 1uL (80mM) of L-Met, 1uL (30Mm PH7.67) of EDTA, 1uL 5% BSA, 2uL of the above DMSO-dissolved drugs, x uL of MAT2A protein. The experimental groups were prepared with different drug concentrations, 2uL (100x) was taken out and added to the reaction system, reacted at 37°C for 18h, and solvent control group and blank control group were set up respectively. The reaction was terminated, 40uL of the system was taken out, and 4uL 10% SDS was added to quench the reaction. IC50 was calculated by GraphPad software, and the compounds were screened by comparing with positive drugs.

[0196] The test results are shown in Table 7 below, where the IC50 values ​​of each compound are classified according to the following description:

[0197] +++ is less than 10 nM, ++ is between 10 nM and 1 μM, and + is greater than 1 μM.

[0198] The test results are shown in Table 7 below:

[0199] Table 7: IC50 experimental data

[0200]

[0201]

[0202] The results show that the compounds of the present invention have a very strong inhibitory effect on the protease function of MAT2A, and the IC50 values ​​all reach the nM level, which is lower than the positive control drug AG270. This strong inhibitory effect has important therapeutic significance for the treatment of symptoms or diseases related to MAT2A inhibition.

[0203] The above examples are only representative. It can be seen from the above examples that the compounds of the present invention are ideal and highly effective MAT2A inhibitors, and can be expected to be used for treating or preventing symptoms or diseases related to MAT2A inhibition.
