Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine technology, and in particular to a compound for targeted degradation of SHP2, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Src homology 2 domain protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP2) is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 encoded by the PTPN11 gene. PTPN11 is the first non-receptor oncogene in the PTPs family and is widely expressed in the cytoplasm of various cell types and tissues. Its activation and inactivation mutations are believed to be associated with a variety of solid tumors, including melanoma, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and colon cancer. SHP2 is involved in a variety of important signal transduction processes in cell biology, participates in the regulation of T cell signals, inhibits T cell activation, and promotes tumor cell escape. At present, SHP2 inhibitors (JAB-3312) have entered clinical phase III and are used in combination with KRAS inhibitors to treat non-small cell lung cancer. In addition, SHP2 protein-targeted hydrolysis chimeric complexes (PROTACs) have also been developed. However, PROTACs targeting SHP2 degraders have low selectivity, drug resistance, and systemic toxicity in vivo, and their drug efficiency is low. This makes it impossible for these PROTAC molecules to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.

[0003] Photodynamic therapy is widely used in drug delivery due to its advantages such as non-invasiveness, simple remote control, and high spatiotemporal resolution. In traditional photodynamic therapy, photosensitizers produce highly active 1 O2 or ROS, which can react with proteins, leading to amino acid oxidation or backbone cleavage. 1 O2 is highly active, it is locally reactive and can only react with proteins within the nanometer range. Compared with traditional PROTAC molecules, photodegradation targeting chimeras (PDTACs) consist of three functional modules, a targeting ligand that binds to the protein of interest (POI), a photosensitizer (PS) that produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light irradiation, and a linker that connects the first two parts. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a PDTAC compound for targeted photodegradation of SHP2, which not only has the advantages of non-invasiveness, simple remote control, and high spatiotemporal resolution, but also solves the problems of systemic toxicity and drug resistance of traditional PROTAC molecules.

[0004] In addition to utilizing the advantages of PDTAC, in order to increase the permeability of the chimera to cells, we also used bioorthogonal reactions to click in situ within the cell, thereby better degrading the SHP2 protein, greatly improving the selectivity and spatiotemporal controllability of PDTAC, and providing a strategy for efficient and selective degradation of SHP2. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, the present invention discloses a PDTAC molecule for targeted photodegradation of SHP2, a preparation method and an application thereof, and finds that Bodipy-SHP2 can rapidly degrade SHP2 after light activation, and exhibits obvious phototoxicity and low dark toxicity in tumor cell lines such as Hela, with excellent spatiotemporal controllability, providing a strategy for efficient and selective degradation of SHP2.

[0006] The PDTAC compound we designed and synthesized for targeted photodegradation of SHP2 is not only non-invasive, simple to remotely control, and has high spatiotemporal resolution, but also solves the problems of systemic toxicity and drug resistance of traditional PROTAC molecules.

[0007] In addition, we also used the SPAAC bioorthogonal reaction (Click) to functionalize SHP2-05 with azide (N3) to synthesize the SHP2-05-N3 (05-N3) molecule. Then we connected a DBCO to the photosensitizer to synthesize Bodipy-DBCO (B-DBCO) and CE6-DBCO (C-DBCO). When it enters the cell, it will undergo a bioorthogonal reaction with the N3 tag on the SHP2 protein, thereby bringing the photosensitizer and SHP2 protein closer and achieving the function of photodegradation.

[0008] The present invention provides a compound represented by the general formula (IV) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof: , The compound is composed of SHP2 inhibitor SHP2-05, photosensitizer BODIPY or CE6 and linker, which can specifically recognize SHP2 and label it, so that SHP2 can be recognized and photodegraded. The compound for targeted photodegradation of SHP2 has high specificity and good efficacy, and can be used to prepare anti-tumor drugs, which can produce highly active 1O2 or ROS, thereby effectively reducing the protein level of SHP2 in tumor cells and producing photodynamic therapy, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells.

[0009] For compounds II and IV for targeted photodegradation of SHP2, the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions: (1) Preparation of Compound II: ; Commercially available p-hydroxybenzaldehyde was reacted with 2,4-dimethylpyrrole and then complexed with boron trifluoride ether to obtain intermediate 9, which was then subjected to nucleophilic substitution with 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid 3-azidopropyl ester, Staudinger reduction, and NIS iodination to obtain intermediate 12, which was finally reacted with DBCO-NHS active ester to obtain Bodipy-DBCO.

[0010] (2) Preparation of compound IV: ; Intermediate 9 was subjected to nucleophilic substitution with 4-alkyn-1-yl-4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid pentyl ester and NIS iodination to obtain intermediate 15, which was then subjected to click chemistry reaction with intermediate 7 and the Boc protecting group was removed by trifluoroacetic acid to obtain the target compound Bodipy-SHP2.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Compared with traditional PROTACs, the PDTAC molecules synthesized in the present invention have a high degree of spatiotemporal controllability, which can significantly reduce the potential off-target effects of PROTACs, and can efficiently and selectively degrade SHP2 protein to induce tumor cell death; (2) These chimeras consist of a ligand that targets the protein of interest, a photosensitizer, and a linker that connects the first two parts. In photodynamic therapy, ROS generated by PS, especially singlet oxygen (1O2), react promiscuously with biomolecules including proteins. 1 O 2 POIs have short lifetimes and diffusion distances, which limit their effective range to within tens of nanometers where they are generated. To exploit this local reactivity, targeting ligands bound to POIs can direct most of the light-induced 1 O 2 Acting on the target protein. 1 O 2 It has high reactivity to amino acid oxidation or backbone cleavage, and POI may be inactivated or even degraded; (3) In terms of molecular structure design, we chose SHP2-05 as the targeting ligand of PDTAC. It is the ligand of the previously reported SHP2 PROTAC molecule SHP2-D26. It has a high affinity for SHP2 and can be used to target SHP2 protein. Then we chose two molecules, pyrrole boron (Bodipy) and porphyrin (CE6), as photosensitizers. They are both relatively mature photosensitizers that have been reported in articles to produce singlet oxygen after illumination. Through the results of biological activity experiments, we found that Bodipy has a stronger effect than CE6. Secondly, the length of the linker is also critical. In the end, we chose to use a relatively short linker to connect the ligand and the photosensitizer; (4) In addition, we also used the SPAAC bioorthogonal reaction to functionalize SHP2-05 with azide (N3) to synthesize the SHP2-05-N3 (05-N3) molecule. When 05-N3 enters tumor cells, it can target and bind to the SHP2 protein, making SHP2 carry the N3 tag. Then we connected a DBCO to the photosensitizer to synthesize Bodipy-DBCO (B-DBCO) and CE6-DBCO (C-DBCO). When it enters the cell, it will react with the N3 tag on the SHP2 protein to bring the photosensitizer and SHP2 protein closer, thus achieving the function of photodegradation. There are two advantages of using bioorthogonal reactions. First, the originally large PDTAC chimera molecule can be split into two smaller molecules, making it easier to enter the cell; second, the original PDTAC molecule is connected to a larger molecule on SHP2-05. Such modification may weaken the binding ability of SHP2-05 with SHP2 protein. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Example 3 Verification of the degradation ability and selectivity of PDTAC on SHP2 protein in vitro (1) The ability of B-DBCO and B-SHP2 to produce singlet oxygen in vitro was indirectly verified by the reduction of DPA ( Figure 3 ); (2) Immunoblotting experiments clarified whether these PDTACs could photodegrade SHP2: We used Coomassie blue-based Bradford protein assay to monitor the photodegradation process. The chimeras were heated at 37°C for 4 h in PBS buffer containing 0.1 g / mL SHP2 protein to allow SHP2-05 to accurately target the SHP2 protein. Then, they were irradiated with a laser at a wavelength of 520 nm or 650 nm for 15 min and verified by SDS-PAGE. The results showed that, except for the bioorthogonal reaction between C-DBCO and 05-N3, all chimeras could significantly degrade SHP2 and showed concentration-dependent degradation of the chimeras ( Figure 4 ); (3) Verify the selectivity of the chimera at the protein level: 0.1 g / mL of fetal bovine serum albumin (BSA) was added to the above protein system. The chimera selectively degraded SHP2 without significantly degrading BSA. These results demonstrate that the ligand-targeted photoinduction strategy can effectively and selectively degrade SHP2 ( Figure 5 ).

[0025] Example 4 Verify the ability of PDTAC to degrade SHP2 protein at the cell lysate level (1) Since PDTAC has good photolytic activity and selectivity at the protein level, we tried to use light-induced PDTAC to degrade SHP2 in cell lysates. At the same time, we wanted to verify whether the photodegradation of PDTAC was achieved through cellular pathways (such as the proteasome and lysosome system) or through the action of light-induced ROS; (2) Cell thermal shift assay to verify whether PDTAC molecules enhance the thermal stability of SHP2: Cell thermal shift assay (CTSA) showed that B-SHP2 indeed increased the thermal stability of SHP2, which ensured the targeted binding of the chimera B-SHP2 to SHP2 in living cells ( Figure 6 ); (3) Western Blot (WB) analysis of cell lysates confirmed that both Bodipy chimeras could significantly degrade SHP2 after 15 min of illumination, and showed a clear concentration dependence ( Figure 7 ); (4) Western Blot analysis of cell lysates verified that the degradation of SHP2 was also related to the irradiation time when the chimera concentration was fixed. In the absence of light irradiation, the level of SHP2 was completely unaffected, indicating that the degradation was the result of light-induced ROS. However, C-SHP2 did not show obvious degradation activity, which we speculated was because the binding ability of C-SHP2 to SHP2 was significantly reduced ( Figure 8 ).

[0026] Example 5 Verification of the photodegradation ability of PDTAC on SHP2 protein at the cell level (1) Confocal experiments confirmed that B-SHP2 effectively binds to SHP2 in living cells ( Fig. 9 ); (2) WB analysis of the photodegradation of intracellular SHP2 by PDTAC. As expected, SHP2 was also degraded by B-SHP2 or 05-N3 and B-DBCO irradiation, depending on the irradiation time and chimera concentration. In addition, the bioorthogonal degradation effects of 05-N3 and B-DBCO were superior to those of B-SHP2. It was observed that the chimeras without light irradiation did not affect SHP2 levels, once again confirming the key role of light-induced ROS in this living cell protein degradation ( Fig.10 , Fig.11 ); (3) Confocal experiments verified that PDTAC molecules can degrade SHP2, and the biorthogonal degradation effects of 05-N3 and B-DBCO are better than those of molecules that directly connect PS and ligands using a linker ( Fig.12 ).

[0027] Example 6 SHP2 photolysis induces cell death and activation of inflammation-related genes (1) MTT experiments evaluated the phototherapy-induced cell death of MV4-11 cells with high SHP2 expression and Hela and HL-7702 cells with low SHP2 expression. The results showed that the PDTAC molecule had a higher phototherapy effect in MV4-11 cells with high SHP2 expression, with an IC50 of only 22 nM ( Fig.13 ); (2) q-PCR experiments investigated whether PDTAC affects SHP2 downstream signaling: We treated MV4-11 cells with PDTAC molecules or DMSO vehicle and monitored the levels of glutaminase (GLS) and NLRP3 transcripts. Some literature reports that knocking out the SHP2 gene promotes glutamine hydrolysis and glutathione production by upregulating glutamine metabolism-related genes such as glutaminase (GLS). The NLRP3 inflammasome stimulates SHP2 translocation to mitochondria and promotes SHP2 interaction with adenine nucleotide translocase 1 (ANT1) and its dephosphorylation, which is a central molecule controlling mitochondrial permeability transition. This mechanism prevents the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential and the subsequent release of mitochondrial DNA and reactive oxygen species, thereby preventing excessive activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. The results showed that GLS and NLRP3 were significantly upregulated in cells treated with PDTAC molecules, and increased with increasing light exposure time. At the same time, we also found that the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-18 was upregulated. This was because after SHP2 was degraded, the negative regulation of SHP2-NLRP3 was destroyed, resulting in uncontrolled activation of inflammasomes and inducing a large amount of IL-18 production ( Fig.14 ); (3) Confocal experiments found that PDTAC exists in various organelles, with the highest concentration in mitochondria. The positive charge on the photosensitizer Bodipy skeleton may make it easier for positively charged molecules to penetrate the mitochondrial membrane, thereby enriching them in mitochondria ( Fig.15 ).
