Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to a MYC inhibitor and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] MYC is a transcription factor encoded by the proto-oncogene MYC that regulates key processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, and apoptosis. Its overexpression is found in 70-80% of malignant tumors. Key oncogenic signaling pathways such as Wnt, Ras, and PI3K / Akt all require MYC to mediate their functions. The MYC family consists of three members: c-MYC (i.e., MYC), MYCL, and MYCN. They heterodimerize with MAX, inducing conformational changes and forming DNA-binding regions, thereby binding to the DNA E-box and initiating transcription of MYC-related genes. Because the MYC protein is a master regulator of tumor growth and immune evasion, and because it is widely expressed in all major types of tumors but rarely overexpressed in normal cells, it has long been considered one of the most valuable anti-tumor targets.
[0003] In the resting state, the expression level of MYC is strictly controlled by growth factor-dependent signals. Once MYC is overexpressed, it will lead to the occurrence and development of cancer and make the tumor dependent on MYC. Studies have shown that MYC can stimulate metabolic reprogramming by regulating key enzymes in the metabolic pathways of tumor cells, drive glucose and glutamine metabolism, fatty acid and nucleotide synthesis, and O-GlcNAc modification, and promote the growth and proliferation of tumor cells. At the same time, MYC can regulate the expression of cytokines and immune checkpoints, inhibit the expression of CD4 + It inhibits the activity of various immune cells such as T cells, macrophages and NK cells, thereby mediating tumor immune escape. In addition, overexpression of MYC can also induce tumor angiogenesis. Inhibiting MYC can restore cell cycle checkpoints, repair DNA, and reshape chromatin, thereby blocking tumor cell proliferation, leading to differentiation, aging and apoptosis. In MYC-dependent animal cancer models (including lymphoma, leukemia, osteosarcoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma and lung cancer, etc.), sustained tumor regression can be observed after targeting MYC. Studies have confirmed that the anti-tumor efficacy of targeting MYC is not only related to direct effects on cancer cells, but also related to regulating tumor immunity and intervening in angiogenesis.
[0004] Although targeting MYC holds great promise for cancer treatment, the disordered nature of the MYC protein and its lack of a typical active pocket make the development of small molecule inhibitors directly targeting MYC challenging. To date, no compounds have entered clinical trials. Given the necessity of the MYC-MAX interaction for activating the former's transcriptional regulatory function, intervening in this interaction is an effective strategy for discovering small molecule inhibitors that directly target MYC. However, numerous compounds previously discovered, both domestically and internationally, that directly intervene in MYC function have significant drawbacks, including low in vitro activity, lack of in vivo efficacy, and poor safety. Therefore, the development of novel small molecule inhibitors that directly target MYC and possess in vivo efficacy is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing small-molecule inhibitors that directly interfere with MYC function in terms of anti-tumor efficacy, the present invention provides a novel MYC inhibitor, its preparation method, and its application. Multiple experiments have confirmed that the compounds of the present invention can directly inhibit MYC function, interfere with the MYC-MAX interaction, and exhibit significant anti-tumor activity.

The cells were treated with compound solutions of different concentrations. After the compound acted for 72 hours, the culture medium was discarded, and the cells were gently washed 3 times with PBS. Subsequently, a certain volume of culture medium and MTT solution (5 mg / mL) were added to each well of the culture plate, and the culture was continued for a certain period of time. After the incubation was completed, the 96-well plate was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 3 minutes, the supernatant of each well was discarded, 100 μL DMSO was added to each well, and the cells were shaken on a cell shaker for 10 minutes. After the crystals were fully dissolved, the absorbance OD value was measured at a wavelength of 490 nm using a multifunctional microplate reader to calculate the inhibition rate, IC 50 The values were obtained by fitting with GraphPad Prism 5 software.

[0244] We further evaluated the anti-proliferative activity of the compound on normal human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human gastric epithelial cells (GES-1) using a similar test method for anti-proliferative activity of tumor cells. The results showed that the compound had no toxicity to the above normal cells, or IC 50 Much higher than its IC for tumor cells 50 , so the compound has excellent safety.
[0245] Example 50: In vivo efficacy of the compounds of the present invention
[0246] As previously mentioned, developing inhibitors directly targeting MYC with in vivo efficacy is currently a technical challenge. To further characterize the potential applications of the compounds of this invention, this example evaluated the in vivo antitumor efficacy of Compound 34 in a male BALB / c-nu nude mouse PC-3 tumor model (MYC overexpression). Other compounds of this invention exhibit similar beneficial effects to Compound 34, but this should not be construed as limiting the compounds of this invention to the following beneficial effects.
[0247] Six-week-old male BALB / c-nu nude mice were randomly divided into a control group and a high (100 mg / kg), medium (75 mg / kg), and low (50 mg / kg) dose group of compound 34, for a total of four groups, with six mice in each group. The nude mice were injected subcutaneously into the right unilateral axilla to bear tumors. After tumor formation, the test compound was administered via intraperitoneal injection, while the control group was given normal saline for 21 consecutive days. After the start of treatment, the long and short diameters of the tumors were measured with a vernier caliper every two days to calculate the tumor volume, and the weight changes of the experimental animals were monitored. After the end of treatment, the mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and the tumor tissue was removed, weighed, and photographed.
[0248] In vivo efficacy studies demonstrated that the compounds of the present invention exhibited significant tumor inhibition at high, medium, and low doses, with statistically significant differences and a clear dose-dependency. At a dose of 100 mg / kg, compound 34 exhibited a tumor inhibition rate of nearly 80%. Furthermore, at all doses, the experimental animals showed no weight loss, and HE staining of vital organs revealed no significant toxicity, further demonstrating the compound's safety.
[0249] Example 51: MYC protein degradation experiment of the compounds of the present invention
[0250] Literature indicates that compounds directly targeting MYC and interfering with the MYC-MAX interaction can induce MYC protein degradation. Based on this, to characterize the direct targeting of MYC and the interference with the MYC-MAX interaction by the compounds of the present invention, this example employed a Western blotting (WB) assay to evaluate the ability of compound 34 to induce intracellular MYC protein degradation. Other compounds of the present invention exhibit similar beneficial effects as compound 34, but this should not be construed as indicating that the compounds of the present invention exhibit only the following beneficial effects.
[0251] PC-3 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were harvested, seeded at a specific density into 6-well plates, and cultured overnight in an incubator. Compound 34 was added at a gradient concentration (1, 2, 5, and 10 μM) (a blank control) and cultured for an additional 24 hours. The cells were then digested, centrifuged, and harvested and washed with PBS. RIPA lysis buffer containing 1% PMSF and 2% phosphatase inhibitors was added, sonicated, and centrifuged. The supernatant was collected for BCA quantification. One-quarter volume of 5× SDS-PAGE buffer was added, mixed, and heated at 95°C for 5 minutes. The sample was then ready for Western blotting analysis. A 12% acrylamide gel was loaded, subjected to electrophoresis, transferred, blocked, and washed, then incubated with the primary antibody and incubated overnight at 4°C. The polyvinylidene fluoride membrane was removed, washed, and placed in an incubation chamber containing the secondary antibody for an additional 1 hour. Any residual secondary antibody incubation solution on the membrane was washed clean and evenly coated with developer for development. ImageJ software was used to calculate grayscale values and analyze MYC protein expression levels.
[0252] MYC protein degradation experiments showed that the compounds of the present invention could significantly induce intracellular MYC protein degradation (degradation rate greater than 50%) at all tested concentrations in a dose-dependent manner. Therefore, the compounds of the present invention can directly inhibit MYC function.
[0253] Example 52: Cellular Thermal Shift (CETSA) Experiment of the Compounds of the Invention
[0254] Compounds binding to proteins can affect their thermal stability, an effect that can be characterized using the CETSA assay. This example used CETSA to investigate the direct effect of compound 34 on MYC in cells. Other compounds of the present invention exhibit similar beneficial effects to compound 34, but this should not be construed as limiting the compounds of the present invention to the following beneficial effects.
[0255] PC-3 cells were treated with conventional trypsin to terminate digestion and collect cells. Compound 34 (final concentration 10 μM) was added to the experimental group, and the same volume of 0.5% DMSO was added to the control group. The cells were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes, and the supernatant was discarded. Ethylphenyl polyethylene glycol lysis buffer containing 1% PMSF and 2% phosphatase inhibitors was added, ultrasonicated for 15 seconds, lysed on ice for 20 minutes, and centrifuged at 4°C for 20 minutes. Incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes, the samples were placed on ice. Gradient heating was performed separately, and the heated samples were immediately placed on ice, centrifuged, and the supernatant was taken. 1 / 4 volume of 5×SDS-PAGE buffer was added, and after thorough mixing, the samples were heated at 95°C for 5 minutes using a PCR instrument. After the samples cooled, they were used for WB detection. WB refers to Example 51.
[0256] The results of the CETSA experiment showed that the compounds of the present invention can reduce the thermal stability of MYC, and the thermal shift is obvious, which further reveals the direct effect of the compounds of the present invention on the MYC protein.
[0257] Example 53: Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) experiment of the compounds of the present invention
[0258] To characterize the effects of the compounds of the present invention on the MYC-MAX interaction in cells, this example employed a Co-IP assay to investigate the effects of compound 34 on the MYC-MAX interaction at the cellular level. While other compounds of the present invention exhibit similar beneficial effects as compound 34, this should not be construed as limiting the compounds of the present invention to the following beneficial effects.
[0259] PC-3 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were harvested, seeded at a specific density into 6-well plates, and cultured overnight in an incubator. Compound 34 (final concentration 10 μM) was added to the experimental group, while the control group received the same volume of 0.5% DMSO. The cells were cultured for another 1 hour, digested, centrifuged, and harvested, then washed with PBS. RIPA lysis buffer containing 1% PMSF and 2% phosphatase inhibitors was added, mixed, and lysed on ice for 20 minutes. The supernatant was collected, the protein concentration of the cell lysate was determined by Bradford assay, and the supernatant was diluted to 2 mg / mL with PBS. 4 μL of immunoprecipitation antibody was added to 500 μL of cell lysate, and the cells were gently shaken at 4°C overnight. 20 μL of potein G magnetic bead suspension was added, and the cells were gently shaken at 4°C for another 12 hours. After shaking, the cells were separated on a magnetic rack for 10 seconds, the supernatant discarded, and the potein G magnetic beads washed with PBS. 200 μL of purified water and 50 μL of 5× SDS-PAGE buffer were added, mixed, and heated at 95°C for 5 minutes. After cooling, place on a magnetic stand and separate for 10 seconds, take the supernatant and use it for WB detection. For WB, refer to Example 51.
[0260] Co-IP results showed that the compounds of this invention significantly reduced the accumulation of MAX on magnetic beads, with a statistically significant difference compared to the control group (P < 0.0001), indicating that the compounds can clearly inhibit the MYC-MAX interaction in cells. Since the MYC-MAX interaction is essential for MYC function, the inhibition of the MYC-MAX interaction by the compounds indicates that they can directly inhibit MYC function.
[0261] In summary, the compounds prepared by the present invention have significant in vitro and in vivo pharmacological effects, can directly inhibit MYC function, interfere with MYC-MAX effects, and have good application prospects.
