Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and more specifically, relates to a class of HDAC inhibitors, their preparation methods, and the application of such compounds in the preparation of drugs for treating or preventing cancer. Background Technology
[0002] Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a class of proteases that regulate gene expression and protein function by deacetyling histone and non-histone lysine residues. There are currently four main classes and 18 different subtypes of HDACs. Class I includes four subtypes: HDAC1, 2, 3, and 8; Class II includes six subtypes: HDAC4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10; and Class IV contains only one subtype: HDAC11. Classes I, II, and IV are structurally homologous; while Class III includes seven subtypes (SIRT1-7), which have no structural homology with the first three classes. HDAC inhibitors inhibit the growth and survival of various tumor cells in vitro. Several HDAC inhibitors, represented by chidamide, have been approved for clinical use as monotherapy or in combination for the treatment of relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, large B-cell lymphoma, and breast cancer.
[0003] Recent studies have shown that, in addition to their functions in tumor cells, specific HDAC subtypes can regulate tumor immunity. For example, inhibiting HDAC1 and 2 upregulates NKG2D expression, enhancing the tumor-killing ability of NK cells (Molecules, 2021, 26(13):3952); inhibiting HDAC3 upregulates CXCL10-mediated immune cell infiltration (CancerImmunol Res, 2023, 11(5):657); inhibiting HDAC6 downregulates inflammasome-mediated IL1β release (Int J MolMed, 2024, 53(1):1-14); and HDAC10 regulates NK cell function by modulating CXCL10 expression (Proc NatlAcad Sci, 2021, 118(30):e2102718118). HDAC inhibitors can also regulate the tumor immune microenvironment and have anti-tumor effects by inhibiting angiogenesis. Different HDAC subtype inhibitors also have different regulatory effects on other important immune cells such as T cells. HDAC inhibitors targeting different subtypes can enhance the efficacy of tumor immunotherapy drugs, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies, and overcome drug resistance to these drugs. Therefore, developing drugs with selective inhibitory effects on specific HDAC subtypes can effectively improve the therapeutic efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors and has significant clinical value.

[0021] Further forms of the compound
[0022] "Pharmaceutical acceptable" here means that a substance, such as a carrier or diluent, will not destroy the biological activity or properties of a compound and is relatively non-toxic. For example, when given to an individual, a substance will not cause unwanted biological effects or interact with any of its components in a harmful manner.
[0023] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a form of a compound that does not cause significant irritation to the administered organism and does not diminish the compound's biological activity and properties. In some specific aspects, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are obtained by reacting a compound of a general formula with an acid or base, wherein said acid or base includes, but is not limited to, those found in Stahl and Wermuth, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use 1. st Acids and bases in Ed. (Wiley, 2002).
[0024] It should be understood that references to pharmaceutically acceptable salts include solvent-added forms or crystalline forms, especially solvates or polymorphs. Solvates contain stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric solvents and are selectively formed during crystallization with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, etc. A hydrate is formed when the solvent is water, or an alcohol is formed when the solvent is ethanol. Solvates of compounds of general formula (1) are readily prepared or formed according to the methods described herein. For example, hydrates of compounds of general formula (1) are readily prepared by recrystallization from a mixture of water and organic solvents, including but not limited to tetrahydrofuran, acetone, ethanol, or methanol. Furthermore, the compounds mentioned herein can exist in both solvated and non-solvated forms. In summary, for the purposes of the compounds and methods provided herein, the solvated form is considered equivalent to the non-solvated form.
[0025] In other specific embodiments, compounds of general formula (1) are prepared in various forms, including but not limited to amorphous, pulverized, and nano-particle forms. Furthermore, compounds of general formula (1) include crystalline forms and can also be polymorphic. Polymorphs comprise different lattice arrangements of the same elemental composition of the compound. Polymorphs typically have different X-ray diffraction spectra, infrared spectra, melting points, densities, hardness, crystal forms, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Different factors such as recrystallization solvents, crystallization rates, and storage temperatures may cause a single crystal form to dominate.
[0026] In another aspect, compounds of general formula (1) may possess a chiral center and / or axial chirality, and thus appear as racemates, racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomers, and single diastereomers, and cis-trans isomers. Each chiral center or axial chirality will independently produce two optical isomers, and all possible optical isomers and diastereomer mixtures, as well as pure or partially pure compounds, are included within the scope of this invention. This invention means including all such isomeric forms of these compounds.
[0027] The compounds of this invention may contain atomic isotopes in non-natural proportions on one or more atoms constituting the compound. For example, the compounds may be labeled with radioactive isotopes, such as tritium. 3 H), Iodine-125 ( 125 I) and C-14 14 C). For example, deuterium can be used to replace hydrogen atoms to form deuterated compounds. The bond between deuterium and carbon is stronger than that between ordinary hydrogen and carbon. Compared with undeuterated drugs, deuterated drugs generally have advantages such as reduced toxicity, increased drug stability, enhanced efficacy, and prolonged drug half-life in vivo. All isotopic variations of the compounds of this invention, regardless of radioactivity, are included within the scope of this invention.
[0028] Unless otherwise specified, any atom in the compounds described in this invention refers to its stable-state isotope. Unless otherwise specified, when a site on the molecular structure is chosen as "H" or "hydrogen", that site should be understood as having a natural abundance of hydrogen isotopes. Similarly, unless otherwise specified, when a site is chosen as "D" or "deuterium", that site should be understood as having a deuterium isotope abundance of at least 3000 times its natural abundance (the natural abundance of deuterium isotopes is 0.015%).
[0029] In this invention, "isotope enrichment factor" means the ratio of the isotope to its natural isotope.
[0030] More preferably, the deuterium abundance at each deuteration site of the deuterated compound in this invention is at least 3500 times its natural abundance (52.2% deuterium enrichment). More preferably, at least 4500 times (67.5% deuterium enrichment). More preferably, at least 5000 times (75% deuterium enrichment). More preferably, at least 6000 times (90% deuterium enrichment). More preferably, at least 6333 times (95% deuterium enrichment). More preferably, at least 6466.7 times (97% deuterium enrichment). More preferably, at least 6600 times (99% deuterium enrichment). More preferably, at least 6633.3 times (99.5% deuterium enrichment).

[0186] Female C57BL6N mice (6 weeks old, 18-22g) were provided by Vital River Pharmaceuticals Ltd. in China and used after one week of quarantine and acclimatization. All animals were housed in a room at 23±2℃ and 50±5% relative humidity, with artificial lighting from 08:00 to 20:00 daily and ventilation 13-18 times per hour.
[0187] Mouse colon cancer MC38 cells were routinely cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator using 1640 containing 10% fetal bovine serum. After passage, cells were harvested when the desired cell count was reached. 2 × 10⁻⁶ cells were subcutaneously injected into the right side of C57BL6N mice. 6 MC38 cells formed a tumor, and the tumor grew to 100 mm. 3 After administration, animals were randomly divided into groups and administered the drug. Tumor volume was measured using calipers on days 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, and 21 post-administration. The tumor growth inhibition capacity of the compound was evaluated using the tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) formula: 1 - (tumor volume on day 28 of the administered group - tumor volume on day 1 of the administered group) / (tumor volume on day 28 of the control group - tumor volume on day 1 of the control group). The toxicity of the compound was evaluated based on mouse body weight and condition.
[0188] The groups are as follows:
[0189] 1) Solvent control group; 2) PD-1 group; 3) BDO group; 4) Chidamide group; 5) Compound 4 group; 6) Compound 5 group; 7) PD-1 + BDO group; 8) Compound 4 + PD-1 + BDO combination group; 9) Compound 5 + PD-1 + BDO combination group; 10) Chidamide + PD-1 + BDO combination group, 6 mice in each group. The results are shown in Table 13 below.

[0191]
[0192] Notes: BDO indicates anti-VEGF antibody; PD-1 indicates anti-PD-1 antibody; IV indicates intravenous administration; IP indicates intraperitoneal administration; PO indicates oral administration; QD indicates once-daily administration; QW indicates once-weekly administration; PR indicates partial remission (tumor volume shrinks by more than 30% relative to the initial volume after the completion of the dosing cycle); CR indicates complete tumor regression.
[0193] The in vivo experimental results above show that the compounds of this invention, in combination with PD-1 and BDO, have a good inhibitory effect on the MC-38 in vivo tumor model. Compounds 4 and 5 alone can slow or eliminate tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice. Particularly in the triple combination group, compound 4 + PD-1 + BDO (group 8) caused complete tumor regression in 83.3% (5 / 6) of mice, and compound 5 + PD-1 + BDO (group 9) caused complete tumor regression in 66.7% (4 / 6) of mice, significantly better than Chidamide + PD-1 + BDO (group 10, 1 / 6, only one mouse achieved partial remission).
