Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly relates to a naphthalimide-platinum (IV) complex capable of reversing the progression of glioma based on Lamp2 mediation and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common invasive primary brain malignancy, and the median survival of current clinical radiotherapy combined with temozolomide chemotherapy is only 12-16 months. Glioma has the characteristics of diffuse infiltration, incomplete surgical resection and easy drug resistance. Cisplatin is a platinum-based DNA alkylating agent, which is a first-line chemotherapy drug for various cancers including glioma. It can inhibit tumor cell division and induce apoptosis-mediated cell death by inducing DNA damage. However, cisplatin induces protective autophagy, which is prone to produce cisplatin resistance in several cancers such as human lung adenocarcinoma, ovarian cancer and GBM. Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation pathway closely related to the drug resistance of tumor chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy, and glioma lacks effective treatment.

[0003] Autophagy promotes the process of immune escape by regulating the PD-1 / PD-L1 checkpoint pathway, MHC class I / II molecules and the proliferation and differentiation of various immune cells in the tumor microenvironment; therefore, inhibiting autophagy can enhance the therapeutic effect of immune checkpoint blockade. It has been reported that inhibiting autophagy can promote glioblastoma cell aging, prevent glioma progression and lead to SASP profile stimulation of anti-tumor immunity. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) play an important role in the tumor microenvironment. TAM mainly has two subtypes: M1 and M2; re-polarizing TAM from M2 to M1 is an effective cancer treatment strategy. A study found that the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) can re-polarize M2 macrophages to M1 phenotype in a mouse laryngeal cancer model in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, anti-tumor drugs targeting autophagy and TAM have become a hot spot of current research. The 1,8-naphthalimide pharmacophore can be embedded in DNA and produce anti-tumor activity through the p53 pathway, lysosome, mitochondrial pathway and the like. Inspired by these related researches and the continuous interest in developing new platinum (IV) drugs, the application complexes a series of naphthalimide-platinum (IV) complexes by combining the active basic fragment naphthalimide with cisplatin or oxaliplatin. The anti-cancer effect of the naphthalimide-platinum (IV) complex is evaluated, and the influence of the naphthalimide-platinum (IV) complex on autophagy and macrophage polarization state is discussed.

[0004] The present application first synthesizes an antitumor lead compound NTCDI-Pt, and then studies its inhibition of lysosome uptake of platinum ions and macrophage-dependent autophagy based on the regulation of lysosome function, and promotion of extracellular secretion of HMGB1 (high mobility group protein B1) to induce M1 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages to inhibit glioma progression, thereby providing a potential strategy for the treatment of GBM. By exploring a new autophagy inhibitor, it is found that cisplatin promotes autophagy and increases the number of lysosomes by up-regulating the expression of Lamp2, so that the lysosome takes up too much platinum ion from the cytoplasm; and platinum (IV) cannot be combined with nuclear DNA to cause glioma drug resistance. The compound NTCDI-Pt down-regulates the expression of Lamp2 by activating TFEB (transcription factor EB) phosphorylation, thereby regulating the function of lysosomes to inhibit the uptake of platinum ions by lysosomes, and increasing the uptake of platinum ions by the nucleus. NTCDI-Pt also inhibits protective autophagy by regulating the nuclear translocation of TFEB; and promotes extracellular secretion of HMGB1 to activate macrophage function to prevent immune escape of Pt chemotherapy drugs.

[0005] The present application first introduces nitrile or chlorine atom modified naphthalimide into the axial ligand of tetravalent platinum, selects two commonly used divalent platinum drugs cisplatin and oxaliplatin, and then compares the influence of different parent platinum cores on antitumor activity.

[0055] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0056] 1. The naphthalimide-platinum (IV) complex NTCDI-Pt has high selectivity for glioma cells. The compound NTCDI-Pt has high antitumor activity and anti-metastasis ability in a glioma mouse in vivo, and has high biological safety.

[0057] 2. The compound NTCDI-Pt exhibits superior platinum uptake and DNA-binding levels in glioma cells compared to cisplatin.

[0058] 3. The compound NTCDI-Pt reduces lysosomal abundance and increases platinum ion uptake; it can regulate TFEB nuclear translocation and inhibit protective autophagy; the compound NTCDI-Pt promotes HMGB1 extracellular secretion, activates macrophage function, and enables macrophages to enter the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype.

[0059] 4. As a platinum-based anticancer lead compound, NTCDI-Pt can effectively increase the nuclear accumulation of platinum ions compared to cisplatin, which initially explains why NTCDI-Pt has higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin. This invention analyzed the abundance of lysosomes in glioma cells treated with NTCDI-Pt. The decrease in LAMP2 expression indicates reduced lysosomal uptake of platinum ions. TFEB establishes a link between autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis; when cells are under stress, TFEB nuclear translocation promotes autophagic flux and lysosomal development.

[0060] 5. Further research into the mechanism of action of the compounds described in this invention shows that NTCDI-Pt inhibits protective autophagy by suppressing TFEB nuclear translocation. Furthermore, experiments in this invention demonstrate that HMGB1 extracellular secretion induced by NTCDI-Pt can effectively activate macrophage function, causing them to enter the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype.

[0061] In summary, the synergistic enhancement of classical DNA damage induced by the compound NTCDI-Pt is due to the increased uptake of platinum ions mediated by decreased lysosomal abundance and the activation of macrophage function. Attached Figure Description

[0117] Test Example 1: In vitro anti-tumor activity test

[0118] The naphthalimide-Pt(IV) complexes (7a, 7b, 9a, 11a, 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b, 16a, 16b) synthesized in the foregoing examples were tested for in vitro anti-tumor activity in colon cancer cells HT-29, HCT-116; liver cancer cells HepG-2, Huh-7; breast cancer cells MCF-7; triple negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231; cisplatin-sensitive lung cancer A549 cells, drug-resistant A549cisR cells; glioma cells U251, U87 by MTT method, and the test results are shown in Table 1, with cisplatin and oxaliplatin as positive controls.

[0119] Table 1 In vitro anti-tumor activity of naphthalimide-Pt(IV) complexes [e]

[0120]

[0121]

[0122] Note: [a] An average of three measurements. [b] FI b (fold increase)isdefined as IC 50 (cisplatin) / IC 50 (NTCDI-Pt),FI c (fold increase)is defined as IC 50 (Oxaliplatin) / IC 50 (NTCDI-Pt),introduced to contrast the antitumor effects withthe positive drugs.;[c]The RF(resistance factor)is defined as the IC 50 valuein A549cisR cells / IC 50 value in A549 cells.

[0123] From the results of Table 1, it can be seen that the present application selects cisplatin and oxaliplatin, two classic antitumor drugs in clinical trials, as reference drugs (Table 1). According to the in vitro biological results, a preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) can be obtained. The naphthalimide classic core has stronger synergistic tumor inhibition activity with cisplatin (11a, 16a-16b) than with oxaliplatin (7a-7b, 9a, 14a-14b, 15a-15b). The activity of the oxaliplatin monosubstituted complexes (7a-7b, 11a, 14a-14b) is higher than that of the oxaliplatin disubstituted complexes (9a, 15a-15b). Among them, the activity of the 4-position chloro-substituted complexes is higher than that of the 3-position nitro-substituted complexes. The reason for this result may be related to the spatial potential drug resistance of platinum drugs. The more axial ligand positions connected, the less likely it is to target lysosomes to exert antitumor activity. Among all the drugs, NTCDI-Pt has significantly higher antitumor efficacy on multiple cancer cell lines, with IC 50 values 11 times lower than commercially available cisplatin and oxaliplatin.

[0124] The resistance factor (RF) is 1.24 μM, which is better than that of cisplatin (RF = 1.39 μM) and oxaliplatin (RF = 1.94 μM). It shows great potential in overcoming cisplatin resistance. At the same time, compared with cisplatin, NTCDI-Pt inhibits the IC 50FI were 3.53 and 4.35, respectively. Compared with oxaliplatin, the IC 50 FI values were 3.87 and 4.88, respectively. Based on the above results, the inventors selected GL261-luc cells for in vivo biological detection of NTCDI-Pt. Meanwhile, U87 and U251 cell lines were selected for in vitro mechanism study.

[0125] Test Example 2: Effect of NTCDI-Pt (16a) on migration ability of glioma cells

[0126] (1) Wound healing experiment

[0127] To evaluate the inhibitory effect of NTCDI-Pt on the migration of glioma cells, the inventors detected the effect of NTCDI-Pt on the migration ability of glioma cells by wound healing experiment. The results are shown in Figure 1 As shown, the inhibitory effect of compound NTCDI-Pt on the migration of glioma cells was significantly higher than that of cisplatin and the combination administration group, and the inhibitory effect was in a concentration-dependent manner.

[0128] (2) Transwell chamber experiment

[0129] To further verify the inhibitory effect of NTCDI-Pt on the migration ability of glioma cells, the inventors detected the effect of NTCDI-Pt on the migration ability of glioma cells by Transwell experiment. The results are shown in Figure 2 As shown, compound NTCDI-Pt had an inhibitory effect on glioma cells, and the inhibitory effect was in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of compound NTCDI-Pt on the migration of glioma cells was significantly stronger than that of cisplatin and the combination administration group, and the inhibitory effect was in a dose-dependent manner.

[0130] Test Example 3: Induction of glioma cell apoptosis by NTCDI-Pt (16a)

[0131] To study the relationship between the anti-tumor activity of NTCDI-Pt and apoptosis, the inventors tested the induction of glioma cell apoptosis by NTCDI-Pt and positive drug cisplatin by Annexin V / PI double staining method. The inventors incubated glioma cells with NTCDI-Pt at concentrations of 0.5 μM, 1 μM and 5 μM and cisplatin at a concentration of 5 μM for 24 hours, collected the cells, and then analyzed the induction of cell apoptosis by the compounds by flow cytometry. The results are shown in Figure 3As shown in A, the proportion of apoptosis of glioma cells induced by NTCDI-Pt is positively correlated with the concentration, that is, the proportion of early apoptosis cells is 37.57% and the proportion of late apoptosis cells is 9.96% when the concentration of NTCDI-Pt is 5 μM, and the proportion of early apoptosis cells is 25.32% and the proportion of late apoptosis cells is 5.70% when the concentration of NTCDI-Pt is 1 μM.

[0132] Test Example 4: Effect of NTCDI-Pt (16a) on in vivo anti-tumor activity

[0133] (1) NTCDI-Pt inhibits the growth of glioma cell orthotopic tumors in mice

[0134] The in vitro experiment proves that NTCDI-Pt has good killing effect on glioma cells. In order to verify the in vivo anti-tumor activity of NTCDI-Pt, GL261 luc cells (murine glioma cells, 150,000 per mouse) were implanted into the brain of six-week-old C57BL / 6j mice to establish an orthotopic glioma animal model. Before implanting the tumor cells, the mice were raised in the same temperature, humidity, food, and water feeding environment. The mice inoculated with GL261 luc cells were observed every other day, and the tumor formation of all mice was checked by live fluorescence imaging of mice on the third day after inoculation (fluorescence was activated by injecting D-luciferin potassium salt before imaging). The mice that failed to form tumors were re-inoculated. On the seventh day after inoculation, the size of glioma in mice was checked by live fluorescence imaging of mice, and the fluorescence value was recorded by taking pictures. According to the size of the fluorescence value, the mice were evenly divided into six groups (10 mice per group), and labeled as the 0th day of administration, including the PBS group, the naphthalimide ligand group (5 mg / kg), the TMZ group (40 mg / kg), the Cis group (4.5 mg / kg 2.95 mg Pt / kg), the Cis+ligand group (4.5 mg / kg 2.95 mg Pt / kg Cis+5 mg / kg ligand), and the NTCDI-Pt group (10.53 mg / kg 2.4 mg Pt / kg). Intraperitoneal injection was given every two days, a total of 5 times, and the state of the mice was observed and the body weight of the mice was measured during the period. After the administration was completed, the mice were observed for two days, then the mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and the brain tissue and internal organs were removed, and the organ index of the mice (the ratio of the weight of each organ to the body weight of the corresponding mouse) was evaluated. The tumor inhibition rate calculation formula is: inhibition rate (%) = [(average fluorescence value of tumor in the PBS control group-average fluorescence value of tumor in the drug treatment group or positive group) / average fluorescence value of tumor in the control group] x 100%).

[0135] The schematic diagram of the in vivo anti-glioma model animal experiment process of NTCDI-Pt is shown in Figure 3 B. From Figure 3The results of in vivo imaging and tumor fluorescence values of C-D can be seen that NTCDI-Pt has the most obvious inhibitory effect on tumor compared with PBS control group, and is slightly better than the positive control drugs TMZ and Cis; followed by Cis+ligand and Cis administration groups. The effect of naphthalimide ligand administration group on inhibiting the progression of glioma is not much different from the control group PBS. It is shown that the main effective structure region of NTCDI-Pt for inhibiting the progression of glioma is not the naphthalimide ligand structure, but closely related to Pt(IV). During the whole animal experiment, except that the body weight of mice in the cisplatin administration group decreased significantly in the later stage, the body weight and organ index of mice in the other groups had no obvious abnormal changes. During the treatment, there was no obvious dehydration, anorexia, movement disorder or other symptoms related to toxicity in the NTCDI-Pt administration group. It is suggested that NTCDI-Pt can inhibit the progression of glioma, and has no strong toxic reaction to mice. Figure 3 C) In the later stage, the body weight and organ index of mice in the other groups had no obvious abnormal changes. During the treatment, there was no obvious dehydration, anorexia, movement disorder or other symptoms related to toxicity in the NTCDI-Pt administration group. It is suggested that NTCDI-Pt can inhibit the progression of glioma, and has no strong toxic reaction to mice. Figure 3 E-F) had no obvious abnormal changes. During the treatment, there was no obvious dehydration, anorexia, movement disorder or other symptoms related to toxicity in the NTCDI-Pt administration group. It is suggested that NTCDI-Pt can inhibit the progression of glioma, and has no strong toxic reaction to mice.

[0136] Test Example 5: NTCDI-Pt (16a) increases nuclear uptake of platinum ions by reducing lysosomal abundance

[0137] To further investigate the reason why NTCDI-Pt shows better activity than cisplatin, the present application measured the absorption and emission wavelengths of NTCDI-Pt, and found that NTCDI-Pt partially accumulates in lysosomes. The role of lysosome function, including autophagy, in GBM cisplatin resistance is crucial for its continued use in the clinic, but how they facilitate antitumor immunity in tumors and macrophages is not clear, and the underlying mechanism is not clear. Therefore, the next step is to analyze the content of platinum in lysosomes and nuclei after incubation with NTCDI-Pt or cisplatin. Compared with cisplatin or cisplatin-BafA1 treatment, NTCDI-Pt has the advantage of rich nuclear accumulation of platinum ions, but the disadvantage of weak lysosomal accumulation is weak( Figure 4 A). The increased nuclear accumulation of platinum may lead to stronger DNA damage effects. Here, the effect of NTCDI-Pt on DNA damage in U87 and U251 cells was analyzed. The results show that, compared with the effects of various ligands, NTCDI-Pt exerts the strongest DNA damage effect( Figure 4 B). Lamp2 is the most abundant component in the lysosomal membrane and is used to determine the abundance of lysosomes. The present application determines the abundance of lysosomes by analyzing the immunofluorescence intensity of Lamp2. The present application observes that Lamp2 significantly increases after cisplatin treatment. Correspondingly, NTCDI-Pt treatment significantly reduces the expression of Lamp2( Figure 4 C). Western blot analysis further confirms that, compared with other drug-treated cells, NTCDI-Pt treatment results in the least expression of Lamp2( Figure 4C). Overall, these observations suggest that NTCDI-Pt promotes accumulation of platinum core by impairing lysosomal abundance.

[0138] Example 6: NTCDI-Pt (16a) inhibits protective autophagy by modulating TFEB nuclear translocation

[0139] In this study, the present application demonstrates that NTCDI-Pt treated glioma cells inhibit lysosomal uptake of platinum ions by modulating TFEB nuclear translocation, reducing lysosomal abundance, and ultimately leading to more platinum ions accumulation in the nucleus. In contrast, cisplatin resistance is caused by increased lysosomal enzyme uptake of platinum ions by cellular protective autophagy. Its possible mechanism is first summarized in Figure 5 A. TFEB links autophagy to lysosomal biogenesis by modulating the expression of genes involved in autophagy. The effect of NTCDI-Pt on autophagic flux in glioblastoma cells was first analyzed. In contrast to the increase in LCII expression after the addition of cisplatin, NTCDI-Pt reduced autophagic flux ( Figure 5 B). To further clarify the inhibitory effect of NTCDI-Pt on autophagy, the present application performed immunohistochemical analysis of LC3II and p62 proteins. Dephosphorylated TFEB, the active form, enters the nucleus and induces autophagy-lysosomal biogenesis. Notably, the subcellular localization of TFEB is strictly controlled by phosphorylation. In addition, the present application also investigated whether the phosphorylation level of TFEB changes ( Figure 5 C). The relative expression level of p-TFEB in glioma tissue was significantly reduced after cisplatin treatment. In contrast, p-TFEB levels were significantly elevated. Further, the present application analyzed the difference in TFEB content between the nucleus and cytoplasm ( Figure 5 D). After cisplatin treatment, more TFEB translocated to the nucleus, and the addition of BafA1 rescued the nuclear accumulation of TFEB. This is consistent with the report. NTCDI-Pt treatment induced the nuclear translocation of TFEB, which explains the inhibition of autophagy and the reduction of lysosomal abundance by NTCDI-Pt.

[0140] Example 7: NTCDI-Pt (16a) activates tumor-associated macrophages by promoting extracellular release of HMGB1

[0141] Glioma is a mixed solid tumor with a large number of infiltrating macrophages. At the end of the in vivo experiment, the present application analyzed Arg1 + macrophage number Figure 6 A). Compared with the untreated group, it was found that NTCDI-Pt could effectively reduce Arg1 +The number of macrophages. Then the present application will be RAW264.7 cells with NTCDI-Pt treated GL261 cells co-cultured, macrophages show obvious M1 polarization Figure 6 B) It is reported that cisplatin can increase the extracellular release of HMGB1 in a dose-dependent manner. Released HMGB1 acts as a damage-associated molecular pattern, sensitizing the immune system to tumor antigens. Therefore, the present application analyzes the changes in the content of HMGB1 in the nucleus and cytoplasm after NTCDI-Pt and cisplatin treatment Figure 6 C) HMGB1 tends to transfer from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This indicates that HMGB1 can be released more extracellularly. The change in the content of HMGB1 in the culture medium after HMGB1 nuclear translocation is analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay Figure 6 D) Glioma cells secrete more HMGB1 in the culture medium. These results indicate that NTCDI-Pt can activate macrophage HMGB1 in a dose-dependent manner. Figure 6 E Briefly describes that NTCDI-Pt triggers the massive release of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the extracellular environment, and the surrounding TAMs are polarized to a pro-inflammatory phenotype.

[0142] In summary, the present application screens the synthesized target compounds for activity to determine the lead compound. Through in vivo and in vitro experiments, the anti-tumor activity of naphthalimide-platinum(IV) complexes is elucidated, and through mechanism research on naphthalimide-platinum(IV) complexes, the anti-tumor mechanism and the influence on the immune metabolism inside the tumor are elucidated. The present application mainly obtains the following conclusions:

[0143] 1. The naphthalimide-platinum(IV) complexes are screened in vitro for activity by MTT method, and the results show that the killing power of the naphthalimide-platinum(IV) complexes on tumor cells is significantly better than that of the positive control drugs cisplatin and oxaliplatin. And it has high selectivity to glioma cells. Through screening, the present application finds the best NTCDI-Pt anti-tumor lead compound.

[0145] 3. By establishing an in vivo glioma solid tumor model, it is found that the compound NTCDI-Pt has a high inhibitory effect on the growth of glioma tumors, and has no effect on the body weight of mice, indicating that NTCDI-Pt has high safety anti-tumor activity.

[0146] 4. In vitro, the molecular mechanism of NTCDI-Pt anti-glioma was explored by cell level. The following conclusions were obtained, (a): NTCDI-Pt reduced lysosome abundance and increased nuclear uptake of platinum ions. (b): The regulation of TFEB nuclear translocation inhibited protective autophagy. (c): NTCDI-Pt promoted the extracellular secretion of HMGB1 to activate macrophage function and make it enter the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype. The synergistic effect of the increased nuclear uptake of platinum ions mediated by the decrease of lysosome abundance and the activation of macrophage function enhanced the inhibition of glioma progression by NTCDI-Pt.
