Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine technology and more specifically relates to an indolebenzamide derivative and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the cancer mortality rate has risen from 12% to 16.8%, becoming the second leading cause of death worldwide. According to the 2022 Global Cancer Statistics, the top five cancers by mortality rate are lung cancer (18.7%), colorectal cancer (9.3%), liver cancer (7.8%), female breast cancer (6.9%), and stomach cancer (6.8%). Cancer is caused by the malignant growth of normal cells in the body after abnormal mutations. These abnormal cells are unregulated by normal cell growth and continue to proliferate rapidly, independent of the body's control mechanisms. Uncontrolled proliferation of malignant cells leads to tumor formation. Cancer cells in malignant tumors can break through the boundaries of the primary tumor and spread through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to other parts of the body, forming metastases, further invading and damaging healthy tissue. The spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body through metastasis is a key sign of cancer's progression to advanced and malignant stages and a major challenge to treatment. For the 10 most common cancer types, the relative five-year survival rate for early detection ranges from approximately 34.2% to 100%, while the rate of local recurrence after surgery or radiotherapy is less than 16.1%. However, if advanced cancer frequently recurs or metastasizes, its 5-year relative survival rate will drop to a range of 2.5% to 30.2%.

[0003] Currently, the treatments for tumors include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Surgical treatment is the standard treatment for early-stage cancer, but due to the lack of sensitivity of early detection technology, most patients are diagnosed at or eventually progress to the late stage, and tumors in certain parts of the body may be difficult to surgically remove. Although surgery can remove the primary tumor, it cannot guarantee the complete eradication of all cancer cells. Small tumors may remain or metastasize to other parts of the body, leading to cancer recurrence or metastasis. Immunotherapy treats cancer by regulating the immune system and is used as a single therapy or in combination with many other treatment options to improve its efficacy, but its current clinical application is still effective. In addition, chemotherapy and radiotherapy have large side effects and are mostly not suitable for the treatment of advanced cancer cases. Therefore, more effective treatment strategies are urgently needed in clinical practice.

[0004] In clinical treatment, therapeutic drugs for cancer patients are still relatively scarce. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore new and effective drugs for cancer patients to improve the effectiveness of clinical cancer treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0108] 1) When the cell density reaches approximately 800-100% and the cells are in good condition, digest the cells, count them, and seed them into a transparent 96-well plate at a density of 1000 cells / 100 μL per well. Do not seed the outermost wells of the 96-well plate with cells. Add 300 μL of PBS to prevent evaporation of the culture medium in the inner wells and incubate in a CO2 incubator for 24 h.

[0109] 2) After 24 hours of culture, the cells were observed to have adhered well to the wall. The 96-well plate was removed and 50 μL of culture medium containing the corresponding drug concentration was added to each well of the experimental group and 50 μL of culture medium was added to each well of the control group. Three replicates were set up for each treatment group and the cells were placed in a CO2 incubator for another 96 hours of culture.

[0110] 3) After 96 hours of drug treatment, remove the 96-well plate, add 10 μL of Bimake Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) to each well in the dark, and incubate in a CO2 incubator for 1 hour;

[0111] 4) Observe the color of the culture medium. When it turns orange, remove the 96-well plate, remove any bubbles from the wells, and measure the OD value of each well at 450 nm (OD450 value) using a multifunctional microplate reader.

[0112] 5) Cell viability was calculated using the formula: Cell viability (%) = (OD450 value of the experimental group - OD450 value of the blank control group) / (OD450 value of the control group - OD450 value of the blank control group) * 100%, where the OD450 value of the blank control group is the OD450 value of the culture medium without cells or drugs.

[0113] (3) Plate colony formation experiment

[0114] 1) Based on the cell growth rate, 1000 cells were seeded per well in a 6-well plate and cultured in a CO2 incubator for 24 h.

[0115] 2) After 24 hours of culture, if cells were well attached, remove the 6-well plate and add complete medium containing the corresponding drug concentration (fresh complete medium for the Veh group) to the 6-well plate. Set up three replicate wells for each treatment group and continue culturing in a CO2 incubator.

[0116] 3) Complete medium containing the corresponding drug concentration was replaced every 3 days (Veh group was treated with fresh complete medium);

[0117] 4) After 10 days of culture, remove the 6-well plate, discard the original culture medium, wash three times with PBS, add 1 mL of warmed 4% paraformaldehyde to each well, and fix at room temperature for 15 minutes;

[0118] 5) After fixation, discard the fixative solution, wash three times with PBS, add 1 mL of crystal violet dye to each well, and stain at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes;

[0119] 6) After recovering the crystal violet dye, wash it with ultrapure water and place the 6-well plate in a fume hood with the lid open to air dry.

[0120] 7) Scan the 6-well plate using a printer and count the number of cell colonies using Image J.
