Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of drug synthesis, and in particular relates to a NSD3 degradation agent and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] NSD3 (Nuclear Receptor Binding SET Domain Protein 3) is a histone lysine methyltransferase and a member of the NSD family. NSD3 is involved in epigenetic regulation and mainly affects gene expression by methylating lysine residues in the histone tail. Recent studies have shown that NSD3 plays an important role in many types of cancer, especially in the occurrence, development and metastasis of cancer. Abnormal overexpression or enhanced function of NSD3 is closely related to the occurrence of tumors, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, and hematological malignancies. Therefore, NSD3 has become a potential target for cancer treatment, and the research and development of small molecule inhibitors and degraders for NSD3 has also received widespread attention.

[0003] PROTAC (Proteolysis-Targeting Chimera) technology for targeted protein degradation is an emerging drug design strategy that utilizes the inherent ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in cells to achieve degradation of target proteins. Traditional drug design often focuses on inhibiting the functional activity of proteins, while PROTAC technology is designed by designing a special bifunctional small molecule compound, one end of which can specifically bind to the target protein and the other end can bind to the E3 ubiquitin ligase, thereby causing the target protein to be ubiquitinated and directed to the proteasome for degradation.

[0004] Therefore, developing a PROTAC degrader targeting NSD3 with a novel structure is of great significance for the prevention or treatment of NSD3-related diseases. Summary of the invention

[0105] CCK8 was used to detect the proliferation of NCI-H1703 cells after 72 hours of drug treatment, with Sorafenib as the positive drug. The results are shown in Table 1. The specific operation is as follows:

[0106] (1) Collect cells and count and plate: Remove the upper layer of culture medium from NCI-H1703 cells in the logarithmic growth phase in a 10 cm culture dish with a pipette, wash twice with sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and then add 1 mL of 0.25% trypsin to digest. Incubate in an incubator at 37°C and 5% carbon dioxide for 1 minute, then remove and add fresh RPMI 1640 complete culture medium (containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U / mL penicillin and 100 mg / ml streptomycin) to terminate digestion. Then transfer the mixed cell suspension to a 15 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 400 g for 3 minutes at room temperature. Discard the supernatant, add 4 ml of culture medium to resuspend, disperse the cells into a single cell suspension, and take 20 μL of the cell suspension, add trypan blue solution, mix and dilute, and count to obtain the cell density. Calculate the total number of cells required based on the number of 3000 cells per well in a 96-well plate. Take out the liquid volume corresponding to the required number of cells from the single-cell suspension prepared above, and make up the taken-out cell suspension to the corresponding total volume according to the 100 μL cell suspension volume per well of the 96-well plate. Then mix it evenly again, use a sample pipette to evenly and quickly add the cell suspension to the 96-well plate, add 200 μL PBS solution to the side wells to prevent excessive evaporation of the culture medium volume in the center well, and then quickly transfer it to a 37°C, 5% carbon dioxide incubator for overnight culture.

[0107] (2) On the second day, after observing that the cells have attached to the wall, the compound was prepared into a 10 mM stock solution, and the compound was serially diluted using RPMI 1640 complete medium to obtain 100 μM, 20 μM and 4 μM compound solutions. 100 μL of the above concentrations of compound solution was added to each well of the 96-well plate, and there were 3 parallel wells for each concentration. 3 wells were used as the Control group, with only cells and no drug treatment, and 3 wells were used as the Blank group, with only culture medium without cells or drugs. As the Blank group, these 6 wells were added with an equal volume of fresh RPMI 1640 complete medium when the drug was added. After 72 hours of compound treatment, 20 μL of CCK8 solution (Baoguang Bio, BG0025) was added to each well. The wells were incubated in an incubator at 37°C and 5% carbon dioxide until the solution turned yellow. The absorbance (OD) of the sample was measured at a wavelength of 450 nm using an enzyme reader (BioTek Cytation 3). The cell proliferation inhibition rate was calculated according to the following formula:

[0108] Inhibition rate (%) = (OD Control -OD Compound ) / (OD Control -OD Blank ) × 100%;

[0109] Among them, OD Control : Absorbance reading of wells containing cells, culture medium, CCK-8 solution, but no drug; OD Compound : Absorbance readings of wells containing cells, culture medium, CCK-8 solution, and compound solution; OD Blank : Absorbance readings of wells containing culture medium and CCK-8 solution, but not containing cells or drugs.

[0111]

[0112] a All experiments were repeated at least 3 times.

[0113] As shown in Table 1, ND1, ND2, ND4, ND5, ND8~ND10 all have good proliferation inhibition effects on NCI-H1703 cells, especially ND8~ND10, the inhibition rate of cells at 10 μM exceeds 50%.

[0114] Example 12

[0115] Western blotting was used to detect the degradation effect of the compound on NSD3 in 293T cells overexpressing NSD3. The specific operation is as follows:

[0116] (1) 293T cells in the logarithmic growth phase were digested with 0.25% trypsin and then terminated with DMEM complete medium (containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U / mL penicillin and 100 mg / ml streptomycin). 2×10 6 Cells were plated into one well of a 6-well plate, and transfection was performed after the cells were cultured overnight and adhered to the wall and the cell density reached 60%.

[0117] (2) Change the cell culture medium 1 hour in advance by adding fresh DMEM complete medium solution containing chloroquine (final concentration is 25 mM).

[0118] (3) Prepare transfection system: Prepare solution A and solution B according to Table 2. The whole process should be performed in a clean bench. First, add pure water to a 1.5 ml sterile microcentrifuge tube. Then, use a pipette to accurately transfer the Plvx-V5-NSD3 plasmid solution and CaCl2 solution to the centrifuge tube. Mix well with a vortexer to obtain solution A. Accurately transfer solution B to a new 1.5 ml sterile microcentrifuge tube. Then, place solution B on a vortexer at 1500 rpm to vortex solution B. Evenly add solution A to solution B at a rate of 2 drops / second to prepare DNA-calcium phosphate complex. Remove cells, evenly add DNA-calcium phosphate complex to culture medium, gently mix well, and place in an incubator. After 10 hours, remove cells, replace with fresh culture medium, and continue to culture overnight.

[0120]

[0121] (4) 24 hours after transfection, add culture medium containing the corresponding concentration of compound: prepare the compound into 10 mM stock solution and then use DMEM complete culture medium solution for gradient dilution to prepare a mixed solution containing a final concentration of 10 μM or 5 μM compound, and continue to culture for 24 hours. Then collect the cell sample, use cell lysis buffer (containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors) for lysis on ice, collect the supernatant after centrifugation for 10 minutes, add protein loading buffer and mix well, denature at 100 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes, and use protein immunoblotting to detect the degradation of NSD3 protein. The results are as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.

[0122] Figure 1 The figure is a protein immunoblot diagram of the degradation effect of 10 μM ND1-ND10 compound on NSD3 at the cellular level. BI-9321 is a probe small molecule targeting NSD3, which has a strong affinity binding effect on NSD3. The protein immunoblot experiment results of the present invention use this molecule as a positive control. Figure 1 It can be seen that when the action concentration is also 10 μM, the NSD3 bands of ND1~ND6 basically disappear, indicating that ND1~ND6 have better degradation effects on the long isomer (represented by NSD3-L) and short isomer (represented by NSD3-S) of NSD3 protein than BI-9321; the NSD3 band of ND10 is lighter, and it has a degradation effect comparable to BI-9321; ND7~9 has a degradation effect comparable to BI-9321 on the long isomer of NSD3 protein. It can be seen that the compounds of the present invention have a good degradation effect on NSD3.

[0123] Figure 2The figure is a Western blotting of the effects of ND1 and ND10 compounds on NSD3 in 293T cells transfected with V5-NSD3. Figure 2 It can be seen that the protein imprinting experiment confirmed that 10 μM ND1 and ND10 compounds had significant degradation effects on long and short isomers of NSD3 protein, which was much better than the DMSO treatment group and significantly better than 5 μM, indicating that compounds such as ND1 and ND10 of the present invention have a concentration gradient NSD3 protein degradation effect, and the degradation effect is not caused by toxicity to cells.
