Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to a non-covalent CRM1 inhibitor, its preparation method, and its uses. Background Technology
[0002] Protein function depends not only on its correct sequence and structure but also on its correct cellular localization. Besides cancer mutations, abnormal protein localization can also lead to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and the activation of oncogenes, thus contributing to cancer development. Chromosomal region maintenance 1 (CRM1), also known as exportin 1 (XPO1), is overexpressed and is a recognized pathogenic mechanism in cancer development. CRM1 is a broad-spectrum nuclear export protein that mediates the nuclear export of many factors in tumorigenesis and development, including p53, p21, p27, and nucleophosphoryl 1 (NPM1). CRM1 binds to nuclear export signals (NES) via NES binding grooves and mediates their translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm through the nuclear pore complex. Overexpression of CRM1 is highly correlated with tumor grade and prognosis in patients.
[0003] CRM1 inhibitors are broad-spectrum cancer treatments due to their ability to simultaneously inhibit multiple cancer-stimulating pathways. However, the first-generation CRM1 inhibitor, leptomycin B (LMB), failed due to its high toxicity. LMB covalently binds to cysteine residues (C528) in the NES groove and permanently inhibits CRM1, but CRM1-mediated nuclear export is crucial for cell survival; therefore, LMB's high CRM1 inhibitory activity led to safety concerns. Second-generation CRM1 inhibitors, due to their slow and reversible inhibition of CRM1, are less toxic than first-generation CRM1 inhibitors. Among them, celiniso (KPT-330) was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2019 for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and is currently undergoing extensive clinical trials in hematology and solid tumors. Celiniso binds to XPO1, blocking the nuclear export of tumor suppressor proteins and oncogenic proteins, accumulating tumor suppressor proteins in the nucleus and activating them to exert a chemicalbook effect. Simultaneously, blocking the entry of inhibitory proteins into the cytoplasm prevents oncogenic proteins from functioning properly. Under this dual effect, tumor cells undergo apoptosis.
[0004] However, most existing CRM1 inhibitors are covalent CRM1 inhibitors, and compounds capable of blocking protein-protein interactions between CRM1 and other factors in a non-covalent manner have not been fully developed. Non-covalent CRM1 inhibitors are expected to have a wider therapeutic window, lower toxicity, and insensitivity to C528 mutations because they can reversibly bind to the NES binding groove of CRM1 without relying on covalent binding to cysteine at position 528 (C528). However, developing non-covalent CRM1 inhibitors presents a considerable challenge due to the plasticity of the NES groove and the high binding affinity of NES. Summary of the Invention

[0098]
[0099] Take a 100 mL round-bottom flask and add methyl 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoate S2 (2.37 g, 11.00 mmol, 1.1 equiv.), N-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperazine S1 (1.86 g, 10.00 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (1.66 mL, 10.00 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), and ethanol (30 mL) as solvent. Reflux at 80 °C for 4 h. After the reaction is complete, cool to room temperature. Remove the ethanol from the reaction solution by rotary evaporation. Dilute the remaining mixture with dichloromethane and extract with saturated citric acid and saturated brine, respectively. Dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter, and remove the dichloromethane by rotary evaporation. Purify the residue by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether:ethyl acetate = 5:1, v:v) to obtain S3 (pale yellow solid).

After the reaction was complete, the remaining zinc powder was removed by vacuum filtration with diatomaceous earth, and the methanol was removed by rotary evaporation. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane, and the insoluble matter was removed by vacuum filtration with diatomaceous earth. Excess volume was removed by rotary evaporation. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether: ethyl acetate = 5:1, v:v) to obtain S4 (pale yellow solid).
[0101] The S4 obtained in the previous step was placed in a 100 mL (2.23 g, 6.66 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) round-bottom flask and dissolved in dichloromethane (20 mL).

The mixture was allowed to react at room temperature for 2 h. After the reaction was complete, the solution was neutralized to pH 9-10 with a semi-saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution. The organic phase was then extracted with dichloromethane, back-extracted with saturated brine (40 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered under vacuum to remove excess solvent, yielding S7 as a white solid.
[0103] S7 (0.90 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) and S8 (1.08 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) were placed in a thick-walled, pressure-resistant flask equipped with a stir bar.

Insoluble matter was removed by diatomaceous earth filtration, and toluene was removed under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and extracted with semi-saturated brine.

[0104] S9 (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was added to a 50 mL round-bottom flask and dissolved in water (5 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (5 mL). Then, LiOH·H₂O (2.0 mmol, 10.0 equiv.) was slowly added dropwise with stirring to dissolve the dissolved substance. The reaction was carried out overnight at 50 °C with stirring. After the reaction was complete, the solution was neutralized to pH 5.0 with 2N HCl. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane:methanol = 10:1, v:v) to obtain S10 as a white solid.

[0209] The following specific experimental examples demonstrate the beneficial effects of the present invention.
[0210] Experimental Example 1: Inhibitory effect of the compound of the present invention on CRM1
[0211] 1. Experimental Methods
[0212] 1.1 Pull-down experiment:
[0213] To test the CRM1 inhibitory activity of different compounds of this invention, NES sequence protein (MVM) with a 0.5 μM GST tag was used. MVM Immobilized on glutathione agarose beads, 1 μM CRM1 and different concentrations of compounds were combined with immobilized GST-NES. MVMIncubate at 4°C with a total volume of 500 μL for 1.5 hours using pull-down buffer. Centrifuge at 3800 rpm for 1 min at 4°C, discard the supernatant, add pull-down buffer, wash thoroughly by inverting the EP tube, and centrifuge again. Repeat this washing step three times. Separate the bound proteins by SDS / PAGE gel electrophoresis and visualize by Coomassie brilliant blue staining. The pull-down buffer contains 20 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (pH 8.0), 200 mM sodium chloride, 10% (v / v) glycerol, 2 mM magnesium chloride, 0.005% Triton X-100, and 1 mM dithiothreitol.
[0214] 1.2 Micro-heat surge competition difference test (MST):
[0215] MBP-PKI NES (SEQ ID NO.1: NSNELALKLAGLDI) was mutated to CSNELALKLAGLDI (SEQ ID NO.2) to specifically bind to the fluorescent molecule 5-iodoacetamide fluorescein (IAF). The MBP tag was removed by TEV restriction enzyme digestion. To determine the affinity of PKI, different concentrations of CRM1 were co-incubated with 50 nM IAF-PKI (PKI*) and 10 μM Ran-GTP at 25 °C for 1 h. In the competition experiment, different concentrations of the compound were incubated with 350 nM CRM1, 50 nM PKI*, and 10 μM Ran-GTP. After incubation, the samples were measured using a Nano Temper NT.115 instrument at 20% LED power and 60% MST power. The binding affinity of CRM1 was determined using PALMIST software.
[0216] 2. Experimental Results
[0217] The inhibitory activity of the compound of this invention against CRM1 was tested using a pull-down experiment, and the results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in A and 1B. Experimental results ( Figure 1 A) It was found that, except for compound G4, which showed weaker activity against CRM1 than compound B28, all other compounds exhibited better activity against CRM1 than compound B28. This indicates that, compared to compound B28, the larger substituents on the benzene ring of the piperazine linked to the compound effectively inhibit CRM1. Furthermore, comparing the inhibitory activities of compounds G1 and G3 shows that substitution of the CF3 group is more effective than that of the Cl atom; comparing the inhibitory activities of G3 and B28 shows that substitution of the Cl atom is more effective than that of the CH3 group; comparing G8 with G11 or G12 shows that the disubstituted compounds are more effective at inhibiting CRM1 than the monosubstituted compounds, and that di-meta substitution is also possible. G4 almost completely lost its activity against CRM1, indicating that OMe substitution is not allowed at the ortho position on the benzene ring linked to the piperazine. Notably, methylation of the carboxyl group completely eliminated the compound's inhibitory effect on CRM1. Figure 1 B, G1M-G12M).
[0218] The binding affinity of G1, G8, and G9 to CRM1 was determined using the micro-thermal surge (MST) differential competitive method, and the affinity constants KD were 2.3 μM, 3.2 μM, and 4.7 μM, respectively. Figure 1 C Figure 2 A and Figure 2 B).
[0219] Experimental Example 2: Inhibitory effect of the compound of the present invention on tumor cells
[0220] 1. Experimental Methods
[0221] Nuclear export inhibition assay: A549 cells were seeded into 24-well cell culture plates and treated with a specified concentration of compound or DMSO for 4 h. Cells were fixed and permeabilized, blocked, and then incubated with primary antibody, secondary antibody, and Dapi before mounting. The cells were then observed and photographed using an Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope and analyzed using NIH ImageJ software. Anti-NFkB (Proteintech, rabbit) and anti-rabbit (JacksonLab, FITC) antibodies were used at 1:200 and 1:1000 dilutions, respectively.
[0222] Cell heat transfer assay (CESTA): HeLa cells were cultured to 80% confluence in 10 cm culture dishes and collected in PBS containing 1 mm PMSF. Cells were lysed and centrifuged to remove cell debris. The supernatant was incubated with 20 μM compound or DMSO and then heated at different temperatures for 3 min. The heated sample was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was used for sample preparation and Western blot analysis.
[0223] Cell viability assay: In this invention, cancer cells including HeLa, HepG2, Panc-1, A2780, MDA-MB-453, SW480, A549, HUCC-T1, OVCAR-8, and Ishikawa were seeded in 96-well plates (500 cells / well) and cultured overnight at 37°C. The following morning, after cell attachment, 20 μM of the test compound was added to the cells for 72 h. Cells were fixed with 10% (w / v) trichloroacetic acid, stained with sulfanilamide (SRB) for 30 min, and repeatedly washed with 1% (v / v) acetic acid to remove excess dye. 10 mM Tris base solution was added to each well to dissolve the dye. OD values were measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader.
[0224] 2. Experimental Results
[0225] B28 and its compounds G1-G12 exhibited different growth-inhibiting effects on HeLa cells. Their cell growth-inhibiting effects were largely consistent with the inhibitory activities observed in the pull-down assay. Figure 3 A). Among them, compounds G1, G8, and G9 exhibited the strongest inhibitory activity against cell growth. The IC50 values of G1, G8, and G9 in HeLa cells were 14.0 μM, 17.0 μM, and 8.5 μM, respectively. Figure 3 B). Similar to known CRM1 inhibitors, these three compounds can broadly inhibit the growth of cancer cells, such as pancreatic cancer, endometrial cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer. Figure 3 C). Furthermore, the cell heat transfer experiment (CESTA) conducted in this invention showed that these three compounds can improve the thermal stability of CRM1 in HeLa cells. Figure 3 D). Furthermore, compounds G1, G8, and G9 all inhibited nuclear export of CRM1 cargoes from A549 cells or semi-permeable HeLa cells. Figure 3 E and Figure 4 ).
[0226] The cysteine residue at position 528 in the CRM1 NES binding groove (hereinafter referred to as C528) can undergo a Michael addition reaction with certain compounds containing unsaturated bonds, i.e., covalent binding. These small molecules are called CRM1 covalent inhibitors. Non-covalent inhibitors generally occupy the CRM1 NES binding groove through non-covalent interactions such as hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic interactions, and hydrogen bonds, and are therefore called CRM1 non-covalent inhibitors. DTT (dithiothreitol) is a strong reducing agent that can promote the reduction reaction of the unsaturated bonds in covalent inhibitors. By co-incubating DTT, the inhibitor, CRM1, and the NES sequence protein, and verifying the effect through a pull-down assay, if the inhibitor can inhibit the binding of CRM1 to NES without DTT incubation, but loses its inhibitory effect on CRM1 upon the addition of DTT, then the compound is a covalent inhibitor. Conversely, if the inhibitor's inhibitory effect on CRM1 is unaffected in the presence of DTT, then the inhibitor is a non-covalent inhibitor. Therefore, the control experiment with added DTT described above proves that the compound of the present invention inhibits CRM1 as a non-covalent inhibitor.
[0227] In summary, this invention provides a class of compounds that can be used as non-covalent CRM1 inhibitors. These compounds exhibit good inhibitory effects on CRM1 and can be used to inhibit the growth of various cancer cells, showing promising application prospects.
