Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular to a targeted protein degrader using artemisinin analogues as hydrophobic tags, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, breast cancer has become one of the leading causes of death. Currently, the main treatment for breast cancer is traditional chemotherapy, but this still has limitations, such as low bioavailability, significant drug toxicity, and damage to the immune system. Therefore, choosing a more effective treatment is crucial for breast cancer patients. Targeted protein degradation strategies, as a revolutionary drug development strategy, have enormous potential in overcoming drug resistance. Taking estrogen receptor α (ERα) as an example, it plays a crucial role in the development and progression of breast cancer and is an important molecular target for breast cancer treatment. Overcoming drug resistance has become a key criterion for evaluating the efficacy of drugs targeting this target in clinical treatment of breast cancer. For strategies targeting ERα degradation, the ubiquitin-proteasome system is a major degradation pathway. The most representative technology is the protein degradation-targeting chimera (PROTAC), which directly binds to E3 ubiquitin ligase via a ternary complex E3 ligand, causing protein degradation through ubiquitin labeling. A representative ERα degrader, ARV-471, is currently in phase III clinical trials.
[0003] For PROTAC technology, its structural characteristics result in a large molecular weight and a lack of tissue specificity, leading to poor oral absorption and membrane permeability. This poses significant challenges regarding its oral drugability and toxicity. Therefore, its unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties are a major obstacle to its pharmacodynamics. Thus, exploring new degradation strategies, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of various degradation strategies, and studying the mechanisms of action and bioactivity of different types of degradative agents are of great significance for the efficacy of targeted drug therapy. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a targeted protein degrader using artemisinin analogs as hydrophobic tags, along with its preparation method and applications. In this invention, artemisinin analogs serve as hydrophobic groups in bifunctional molecules. For the target protein ligand structure, benzothiophene compounds (targeting ERα), methylpyridinidine compounds (targeting CDK4 / 6), and octanoylaniline isohydroxamic acid compounds (targeting HDAC6) are selected as the basic backbones. Then, hydrophobic tags of artemisinin analogs are added to the compounds via side-chain introduction, resulting in the design and synthesis of ERα-degrading molecules, CDK4 / 6-degrading molecules, and HDAC6-degrading molecules. By selecting linkers of different lengths, the goal is to maintain the binding of the two proteins spatially without affecting their interaction. The influence of artemisinin analogs as hydrophobic tags on different proteins is verified by selecting different target protein ligands.

[0047] This invention introduces a hydrophobic tag that is simple to synthesize and has a high yield. Compared to PROTAC, the resulting target molecule has a smaller molecular weight and superior cell membrane permeability and druggability. By introducing artemisinin-like compounds as hydrophobic tags, a successful technique for selectively degrading target proteins can be achieved. Its modular design strategy allows for broader application of rationally designed binding pockets and may potentially yield active compounds targeting undrugable targets. Furthermore, the discovery that artemisinin-like compounds can serve as a class of hydrophobic tags offers potential for future modular strategies and provides insights and references for developing novel targeted protein degraders.

[0130] Example 10: ER Degradation Activity Assay
[0131] To demonstrate that the hydrophobic-tagged benzothiophene derivatives synthesized in this invention possess the ability to degrade estrogen receptor (ERα), and to analyze the effect of chain length on protein degradation activity, the structural formula of the hydrophobic-tagged benzothiophene derivatives is as follows:
[0132]
[0133] In this embodiment, MCF-7 was treated with raloxifene, artemisinin, and four compounds (RA2, RA3, RA4, and RA6) (10 μM) for 24 h. All proteins were then extracted, and the effects of these compounds on ERα degradation were analyzed by Western blotting, with comparisons made with raloxifene. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.
[0134] pass Figure 1It can be concluded that the series of compounds of this invention have good ERα downregulation activity. All four compounds significantly reduced ERα levels, with compound RA3 exhibiting the highest efficacy, reaching a degradation efficiency of 73.1%. Notably, neither raloxifene nor artemisinin with d-ring shrinkage alone significantly reduced ERα levels, demonstrating the necessity of the conjugated structure in effective degradation. This result also shows that the ERα degradation activity of the compounds is related to their side chain length; when the chain length increases to a certain extent, the degradation activity of the target product decreases. Therefore, an appropriate side chain length is also important for ERα degradation activity. By comparing compounds with adamantyl tags and artemisinin-based tags, it was found that introducing an artemisinin tag can indeed improve the ERα degradation activity of the compounds, verifying the feasibility of artemisinin-based tags as hydrophobic tags.

All proteins were then extracted, and the effect of the compound on CDK6 degradation was analyzed by Western blotting. The structural formula of the hydrophobically tagged methylpyridinidine compound is as follows:
[0137]
[0138] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, PA significantly reduced CDK6 levels in MCF-7 cells, with 10 μM PA inducing CDK6 degradation by 73%.
[0139] Example 12: Determination of HDAC 6 degradation activity
[0140] To demonstrate that the synthesized hydrophobic succinyl aniline isohydroxamic acid compounds have the ability to degrade histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC 6), MCF-7 was treated with compound SA at concentrations of 0.1 μM, 1.0 μM, and 10 μM for 24 h. All proteins were then extracted, and the effect of the compounds on the degradation of HDAC 6 was analyzed by Western blotting.
[0141] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, SA significantly reduced HDAC 6 levels in MCF-7 cells, and 10 μM SA induced CDK6 degradation by 69%.
