Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and specifically relates to a PRMT5 inhibitor compound and its isomers, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound as an active ingredient and its pharmaceutical use in treating diseases, disorders, syndromes or conditions associated with the PRMT5 enzyme. Background Art
[0002] Arginine methylation is a type of histone methylation and one of the most common post-translational modifications in mammals. It is mainly regulated by the PRMT gene family. Arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) regulate arginine methylation in three different forms: monomethylarginine (MMA), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) methylation. There are 9 PRMTs in mammals, which are divided into three types: type I (PRMT1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8; mainly catalyze the production of MMA and ADMA), type II (PRMT5, 9; mainly catalyze the production of MMA and SDMA) and type III (PRMT7; mainly catalyze the production of MMA). PRMTs can methylate histones and a variety of non-histone proteins. Studies have shown that changes in PRMTs enzyme activity, gene mutations or deletions usually lead to abnormal development of animal individuals, and also induce the occurrence, development or metastasis of cancer. Among the many PRMTs, the role of PRMT5 in cancer is increasingly confirmed and has received the most attention.
[0003] Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is a typical type II methyltransferase that transfers methyl groups from SAM to the two ω-guanidine nitrogen atoms of arginine, resulting in ω-NG, NG-disymmetric methylation of protein substrates. It is located in the nucleus and cytoplasm and exerts different functions by modifying histones or non-histones. As an epigenetic enzyme, the most eye-catching feature of PRMT5 is its "synthetic lethality" mechanism.
[0004] The so-called synthetic lethality means that for two genes in a cell, if any one of them mutates alone or does not function, it will not lead to cell death; but if both of them mutate at the same time or cannot be expressed, it will lead to cell death. This principle can be used to selectively kill tumor cells without affecting normal somatic cells.
[0005] In 2016, two articles published in Science reported for the first time the "synthetic lethality" effect of inhibiting PRMT5 in MTAP-deficient tumors. The gene that constitutes synthetic lethality with PRMT5 is methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP), a tumor suppressor gene that is often lost in tumors. Patients with MTAP loss account for about 15% of all solid tumors, including about 15% of non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC, 28% of esophageal cancer, 26% of bladder cancer, and 10% of esophageal and gastric cancer.
[0006] In addition to the synthetic lethal effect, PRMT5 also participates in DNA repair, cell cycle, and transcriptional regulation through methylation modification of the substrate arginine, and has a crucial impact on various cell functions. Currently, research on small molecule inhibitors of PRMT5 has become a hot spot in the development of anti-tumor drugs.
[0007] The results of most clinical trials of first-generation PRMT5 inhibitors that have entered clinical trials are generally not ideal: clinical studies have shown that GSK-3326595 responds to a variety of tumor types. However, 89% of participants reported adverse events, including anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and fatigue. A Phase I clinical trial of JNJ-64619178 showed that intermittent dosing had a maintenance target inhibition effect on tumor patients. In contrast, JNJ-64619178 showed limited / no efficacy in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. Most patients treated with JNJ-64619178 experienced adverse events, including thrombocytopenia, anemia, and nausea. PF-06939999, as a PRMT5 inhibitor, had objective tumor responses in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the neck and non-small cell lung cancer. Cytoreductions were observed in clinical trials, and they were dose-dependent and reversible with dose modifications. The clinical trials of the above-mentioned PRMT5 inhibitors appear to have been stopped.
[0008] In fact, with the exception of Prelude Therapeutics' project, most active projects are dedicated to second-generation PRMT5 inhibitors, namely PRMT5-MTA inhibitors. In cancer cells lacking MTAP, MTA replaces SAM to bind to PRMT5, forming an inactive PRMT5-MTA complex. Second-generation PRMT5 inhibitors bind to the PRMT5-MTA complex and kill cancer cells lacking MTAP while sparing normal cells. This property allows second-generation PRMT5 inhibitors to more specifically target MTAP-deficient cancer cells and potentially reduce the incidence of adverse events.
[0009] Currently, the second-generation PRMT5 inhibitors that have been reported to have entered the Phase I / II clinical research stage include MRTX-1719, SKL-27969, TNG-908, TNG-462 and AMG-193, but no drugs are still on the market; WO2022132914, WO2022115377 and other documents disclose PRMT5 inhibitors, but their selectivity, metabolic stability, permeability and absorbability are poor. Therefore, it is still necessary to develop more effective, active, selective, metabolically stable, permeable, fast-absorbing and pharmacokinetics-friendly PRMT5 inhibitors. Summary of the invention SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0165] Experimental Example 1: Test of the binding ability of the compound of the present invention to PRMT5 protein
[0166] Experimental purpose: To detect the binding ability of compounds to PRMT5 protein by CETSA experimental method
[0167] Background principle: CETSA experiment is a molecular detection method to measure the affinity between drugs and target proteins. The principle is that after the drug binds to the target protein, its structure becomes more stable. If the candidate drug is an inhibitor of PRMT5, the candidate drug can bind to PRMAT5, making the PRMT5 protein more stable. After heating the sample, the PRMT5 protein in the sample will be more easily detected by specific antibodies, and the PRMT5 protein will be more easily detected by Western blot experiments; conversely, the stability of the PRMT5 protein will be worse after heating, and the amount of protein detected will be lower. In this way, the binding ability of the drug to the target protein is evaluated, which is used for the screening of PRMT5 protein inhibitors.
[0168] Specific experimental process:
[0169] Take HCT116 cells in the logarithmic growth phase (cell viability>90%), wash the cells 3 times with PBS, centrifuge at 2000g for 2min; lyse on ice for 30min with cell lysis solution containing protease inhibitor PMSF; use BCA kit to measure the concentration of protein samples. Incubate the samples with candidate drugs, control drugs and control reagents for 30min, heat each group of samples at about 10 set temperature points; restore room temperature, centrifuge the samples at 20000g, collect the supernatant; use sample buffer to heat and denature the protein samples at 100℃ for 10min. After the samples return to room temperature, perform western blot detection on the samples; the protein loading amount is controlled at 20ug. After determining the mutation temperature, the compound concentration gradient is generally set to 9 points, the samples are incubated, and the same operation is performed as above for western blot detection. Protein electrophoresis: the voltage of the concentrated gel is set to 60v, and the voltage of the separation gel is set to 120v; after the electrophoresis is completed, start electrotransfer. The conditions for electroporation were set at 250 mA for 2 h; 5% BSA was blocked for 1 h; specific antibody 1 was added and incubated overnight on a shaker at 4 °C; TBST was washed 4 times, 2.5 min each time; 2 antibodies were incubated on a shaker at room temperature for 1 h; TBST was washed 4 times, 2.5 min each time; ECL was used for development to detect the expression of PRMT5 protein in different groups and at various temperature points. Western blot bands were converted and processed by image J and GraphPad software, and EC was calculated. 50 value.

[0177] Experimental Example 2: Determination of the effect of the compounds of the present invention on the proliferation of HCT116 MTAP- / - cells
[0178] Experimental purpose: The purpose of this test example is to test the effect of compounds on the proliferation of HCT116 MTAP- / - cells.
[0179] Background principle: Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) can methylate a variety of proteins and play an important role in biological processes such as gene expression, splicing and DNA damage repair. Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) often co-deletes with the common tumor suppressor gene CDKN2A in the body, and the proportion of this co-deletion in tumors can reach 9% to 15%. Studies have found that inhibiting PRMT5 has a synthetic lethal effect in MTAP-deficient tumors. Therefore, by detecting the inhibition rate of compounds on the proliferation of HCT116 MTAP- / - cells, it can be used to screen PRMT5 protein inhibitors.
[0180] Specific experimental process:
[0181] Construct HCT116 MTAP knockout cells and screen monoclones. - / - and WT cells, inoculated in 96-well plates, 90uL per well, 1000 cells / well, and incubated overnight at 37°C incubator. On the second day, 10μl of different concentrations of compounds were added, with the highest concentration being 100uM, 10-fold dilution, 9 gradients (DMSO final concentration was 1%), and incubated at 37°C incubator for 7 days. On the 7th day, the old culture medium was aspirated, 110ul of culture medium (the ratio of culture medium to CCK8 was 100:10) was added, and incubated at 37°C for 1-4h. The absorbance was detected at 450nM, and the IC50 was calculated by GraphPad software. The compounds were screened by comparing with positive drugs.
[0182] IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) refers to the half inhibitory concentration of the antagonist being measured. It can indicate the half amount of a drug or substance (inhibitor) in inhibiting certain biological processes (or certain substances contained in this process, such as enzymes, cell receptors or microorganisms). The compound TNG908 described above was used as a positive reference compound.
[0183] The test results are shown in Table 2 below:

This strong inhibitory effect has important application prospects and therapeutic significance for the treatment of diseases or conditions related to PRMT5 inhibition.
[0188] Experimental Example 3: Testing of the inhibitory effect of the compounds of the present invention on PRMT5 enzyme function
[0189] Experimental purpose: To detect the inhibitory effect of compounds on PRMT5 enzyme function by MTase-Glo method
[0190] Background principle: The gene that constitutes the synthetic lethality of PRMT5 is MTAP (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase). MTAP is involved in the metabolism of 2-methylthioadenosine (MTA) and regenerates the methionine required for the synthesis of SAM. The loss of the MTAP gene causes the accumulation of MTA in cells, and MTA competes with the substrate of PRMT5, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), resulting in a decrease in PRMT5 activity. Based on the MTase-Glo method, the methyltransferase (PRMT5) is used to provide SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) with a methyl group to generate SAH. The PRMT5 methyltransferase activity test experiment is carried out in the presence or absence of MTA to screen for selective PRMT5 inhibitors.
[0191] Specific experimental process:
[0192] The MTase-Glo methyltransferase fluorescence method was used to monitor the conversion of s-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to s-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) by the recombinant PRMT5:MEP50 enzyme complex in the presence or absence of 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA). The enzymatic reaction was performed in a white 96-well plate. The reaction buffer contained 20mM bicine (pH 7.60), 25mM NaCl, 1mM DTT and 0.1% (w / v) CHAPS. The test compounds and positive controls were configured according to 10-fold dilutions, 9 concentration gradients, 3 replicates, and the highest concentration was 100uM. In the absence of MTA, the compounds were incubated with a reaction mixture containing 1nM recombinant PRMT5:MEP50 enzyme complex, 2.5uM H41-21 histone peptide and 2.5uM s-adenosylmethionine (SAM) for the experiment. Similarly, in the presence of MTA, the compound was incubated with a mixture of 2nM enzyme complex, 1.5uM MTA, 2.5uM H41-21 histone peptide and 2.5uMSAM. After incubation at room temperature for 5h, TFA was added to each well to terminate the reaction. Subsequently, 5X MTase-GloTM reagent was added to each well and incubated at room temperature to convert the SAH produced in the reaction into ADP. After 10min, MTase-Glo detection solution was added to each well, incubated at room temperature for 30min, and detected by microplate reader.
[0193] IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) refers to the half inhibitory concentration of the antagonist being measured. It can indicate the half amount of a drug or substance (inhibitor) in inhibiting certain biological processes (or certain substances contained in this process, such as enzymes, cell receptors or microorganisms). The compound TNG908 described above was used as a positive reference compound.
[0194] Some test results are shown in Table 3:

[0197] The results showed that the compounds of the present invention have a very strong enzyme function inhibitory effect on the PRMT5.MTA protein complex, with an IC50 value reaching the nM level, which is lower than the positive control drug TNG908, and at the same time has a selectivity higher than TNG908, achieving an unexpected technical effect.
