Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to a novel cancer PROTAC compound based on unstable amino acids or a pharmaceutically acceptable small molecule thereof and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] In 2001, Raymond Deshaies, Craig Crews and others proposed the concept of PROTAC and successfully designed and synthesized the first batch of peptide PROTACs for the degradation of methionyl aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP-2). In 2019, ARV-110, developed by industry pioneer Professor Crews, officially entered the clinical trial stage as the world's first PROTAC drug, and protein degradation targeting chimera PROTAC (Proteolysis targeting chimeria) has received more and more attention.

[0003] PROTAC consists of three parts: a ligand that binds to the E3 ligase to guide protein degradation; a ligand that binds to the target protein to guide the targeted positioning of small molecules; and a linker responsible for the chimera of the two ligands. After the PROTAC molecule enters the cell, the target protein (Protein of Interest, POI) ligand in its structure can specifically bind to the corresponding target protein, while the other end can recruit the E3 ligase to form a POI-Linker-E3 ligase ternary complex, in which the E3 ligase can mediate the polyubiquitination of -POI, and the ubiquitin-tagged POI is recognized and degraded by the proteasome. PROTAC compounds are a technology based on protein degradation caused by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The technical principle is as shown in the attached Figure 1 shown.

[0004] Theoretically, PROTAC is an event-driven pharmacological action mode. This process does not require the target protein ligand to occupy the binding site for a long time. Only the brief formation of the ternary complex is required to instantaneously complete the ubiquitination of the target protein, and the PROTAC molecule can be recycled multiple times in the cell. Therefore, compared with traditional small molecule inhibitors and large molecule antibodies, PROTAC has obvious advantages and is expected to target those difficult-to-drug proteins for drug development. It may also have the advantages of small dosage, low toxicity, independence from affinity, high selectivity, and overcoming drug resistance caused by target protein mutations / overexpression.

[0005] With the continuous deepening of research on PROTAC technology, according to the different structures of Linkers, it can be divided into alkyl chains and PEG chains. There are also more rigid alkynyl bipiperidine rings, spiro rings or bridge rings containing nitrogen atoms as Linkers to limit the flexibility and freedom of PROTAC molecules. The commonly used Linker length is generally 4-15 carbon atoms (or heteroatoms). Researchers have found that the length of the Linker structure itself and the structure at the molecular level have a very important influence on the activity of PROTAC drugs. In addition, depending on the target, the length of the Linker has different effects on the degradation activity. However, there is currently no general rule for Linker structure design. In addition, Click chemistry is often used in the Linker of PROTAC molecules to connect molecules at both ends due to its milder reaction conditions and higher efficiency.

[0006] The E3 ligases currently reported in the literature that are used in PROTACs are mainly CRBN, VHL, cIAP, and MDM2. The E3 ligases with better effects and the highest frequency of use are mainly CRBN (60.1%) and VHL (30.1%). Among them, the ligands of CRBN are mainly lenalidomide, pomalidomide and its analogs, and the ligands of VHL are mainly VHL-L. In the process of PROTAC research and development, Dr. Craig Crews of Yale University took the lead in making a key breakthrough. The PROTAC small molecule they designed can recognize the estrogen receptor at one end, and the other end interacts with the ubiquitin ligase VHL, resulting in the ubiquitination and degradation of the estrogen receptor, thereby preventing the growth of breast tumors. At the same time, the Bradner group at Harvard Medical School also designed a PROTAC compound that uses CRBN ubiquitin ligase to degrade the transcription factor BRD4, which plays an important role in cancer. Both studies successfully inhibited tumors in mouse models, overcoming a major obstacle to the use of protein knockdown methods for treatment. Since then, PROTAC has received widespread attention from the biomedical and industrial communities as an emerging technology, especially Arvinas, which recently had two PROTAC compounds show good Phase II clinical results. Unlike the "occupancy-driven" mode of traditional small molecule inhibitors to inhibit protein function, PROTAC adopts an "event-driven" pharmacological mode of action, which means that only a catalytic amount of drugs is needed to degrade the target protein in the cell, providing a new way to discover inhibitors of difficult-to-drug targets.

[0007] Although PROTAC technology has made great progress in recent years, there are still some problems: (1) PROTAC drugs have a large molecular weight and are difficult to penetrate the cell membrane; (2) The length of the linker and the binding position will affect the degradation ability of PROTAC; (3) As one of the components of PROTAC, E3 ubiquitin ligase plays a vital role. Although E3 ligase is a large protein family, more than 600 E3 ligases have been found to play a role in human cells, but currently only VHL, CRBN, IAPs, and MDM2 are E3 ligase ligands that can be truly used for PROTAC design. The lack of available E3 ligases and ligands has limited the development of PROTAC technology. (4) Although VHL, CRBN, IAPs, and MDM2 have been used in PROTAC so far, they all lack the regulation of the degradation rate of the target protein, because too fast or too slow degradation of the protein may be harmful in some cases; (5) In addition, the two most commonly used ubiquitin ligases VHL and CRBN in PROTAC also have some defects, such as their low activity in some cells, which may not be easy to use for tumor treatment, such as blood cancer, brain cancer, lung cancer and kidney cancer. Therefore, how to make PROTAC more generally applicable remains a key and urgent issue.

[0008] Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) belongs to the ErbB family and is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that plays a key role in cell proliferation, differentiation and motility. Homodimerization or heterodimerization of EGFR and other ErbB family members activates the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain, thereby initiating intracellular signal transduction. Overexpression or activating mutations of EGFR are associated with the manifestation of many types of cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, head and neck cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. It has been determined that activating mutations in the EGFR tyrosine kinase domain are oncogenic drivers of NSCLC. EGFR mutations are common driver gene mutations in NSCLC, and different EGFR mutations have different sensitivities to different EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). The first-generation EGFR inhibitors mainly include Gefitinib and Erlotinib, which can effectively inhibit EGFR (Del19) and EGFR (L858R) mutants, but the first-generation inhibitors often produce EGFR (T790M) resistance mutations after one year of use, thereby reducing the binding of the inhibitors; the second-generation EGFR inhibitors mainly include Afatinib and Dacomitinib, which can not only inhibit EGFR (Del19) and EGFR (L858R) mutants, but also inhibit EGFG (T790M) mutants, but because they have no selectivity for wild-type EGFR (WT), they often have greater side effects; the third-generation inhibitors mainly include Osimertinib (Olmutinib), which solves the problem of the second-generation inhibitors, that is, it does not affect EGFR (WT) and inhibits EGFR (Del19), EGFR (L858R) and EGFG (T790M) mutants, but with the extension of the medication time, EGFR (C797S) resistance mutations will be generated. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new targeted drugs that can overcome the drug resistance of EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

[0009] Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor-type tyrosine kinase that consists of an extracellular domain, a single-pass transmembrane domain, and an intracellular kinase domain. The extracellular domain of ALK includes two methyldopa-A5 protein-receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase (MAM) domains, a low-density lipoprotein (LDLa) domain, and a glycine-rich extracellular domain (G-rich); a single transmembrane (TM) domain located between the extracellular and intracellular parts; and an intracellular tyrosine kinase (PTK) domain. FAM150 is the ligand of ALK, and when the ligand binds to the extracellular domain, the receptor protein-tyrosine kinase is activated by inducing receptor dimerization or oligomerization. The possible mechanism of ligand and dimer-induced ALK activation involves the phosphorylation of one or more membrane-proximal tyrosine residues (Tyr 1078, 1092, 1096, and 1131), followed by sequential phosphorylation until the active form of ALK is formed.

[0010] Fusion and rearrangement of the ALK gene are important causes of many cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). The proportion of ALK fusion mutations in non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma is 3-5%, and the proportion in China is about 5.3%. The incidence is higher in non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma, young patients (less than 60 years old) and non-smokers. ALK fusion is the second largest NSCLC molecular subtype after EGFR mutation, and the corresponding targeted drugs are completely different from EGFR molecular subtypes. ALK can fuse and rearrange with a variety of paired genes, resulting in its constitutive activation. The most common fusion occurs in echinoderm microtubule-associated protein 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK). To date, several ALK-TKIs have been approved for the treatment of ALK-positive NSCLC patients, including the first-generation ALK-TKI crizotinib, the second-generation ALK-TKIs ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib and ensartinib, and the third-generation ALK-TKI lorlatinib. Unfortunately, patients treated with ALK-TKIs will develop drug resistance and cause disease progression. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop new targeted drugs that overcome drug resistance in ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

[0011] Studies have found that when Gly or Pro is located at the N-terminus of a protein, the protein becomes unstable and can be degraded by the E3 ligase ZYG11B / ZER1 or GID4 through the ubiquitin proteasome system. Summary of the invention

[0012] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a novel and unique PROTAC small molecule, which uses the cell's own degradation pathway to specifically degrade the L858R / T790M double-mutated EGFR receptor tyrosine protein kinase and EML4-ALK fusion protein. The PROTAC small molecule uses single amino acids such as Pro and Gly as ligands of E3 ligases GID4, ZYG11B, etc., and the other end is bound to the target protein EGFR (L858R / T790M) or EML4-ALK through an analog (BA) of the ligand Brigatinib. The two ligands are then connected by PEG linkers of different lengths. Such a chemical molecule connects the E3 ligase to EGFR (L858R / T790M) or EML4-ALK, so that EGFR (L858R / T790M) and EML4-ALK are ubiquitinated and degraded by the proteasome.

In addition, ALK was first discovered in a subtype of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), so it was named anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK).

[0090] Example 1 N degron pathway

[0091] PROTAC small molecules synthesized using the N degron pathway start with single amino acids Pro, Gly, etc., and are fused to BA through PEG linkers of different lengths. Through this Pro(Gly)-PEG(1-4)-BA small molecule intermediate bridge, E3 ligases such as GID4, ZYG11B / ZER1 are connected to EGFR(L858R / T790M) or EML-ALK, which causes EGFR(L858R / T790M) or EML-ALK to be ubiquitinated and significantly reduce its level, thereby inhibiting NSCLC growth. A major advantage of protein degradation is that, unlike typical enzyme inhibition-based methods, it only requires transient drug-target interactions, rather than direct inhibition of kinase activity. Our improvements to the existing commonly used PROTACs are: (1) a very small degradation signal (such as a single amino acid Pro, Gly) significantly reduces the size of the PROTAC compound to increase cell permeability and effectiveness; (2) by comparing PEG linkers of different lengths, there are different degrees of degradation effects on the target protein, so as to find the shortest linker to achieve the best degradation effect; (3) the E3 ligases GID4 and ZYG11B used are widely expressed and highly active E3 ubiquitin ligases; (4) by replacing different amino acids (such as Pro, Gly, etc.), these small molecules with only N-terminal differences change the degradation rate due to the use of different E3 ligases, thereby optimizing the regulation of protein stability. Our goal is to use the smallest degradation signal - a single amino acid and to design novel PROTAC small molecules by replacing different amino acids, thereby improving cell permeability and achieving better therapeutic effects, as well as better controlling the level of EGFR double mutant protein through unique adjustable degradation capabilities, see Figure 2 .

[0092] Example 2 PROTAC structures targeting EGFR or ALK based on N degradation subpathway

[0093] Brigatinib is a selective ALK inhibitor, and existing studies have found that it can also inhibit IGF-1R, FLT3, and EGFR. [1] Brigatinib with one methyl group and one piperidine removed (i.e., BA) can also bind to EGFR mutants (see Figure 3 A), so we designed PROTAC as follows: BA was used as the ligand of EGFR or ALK, and amino acids Pro, Gly, and Lys were used as the ligands of E3 ligases, respectively, and BA and Pro / Gly / Lys were connected by three PEG linkers (Lysine Lys was used as a degrader of the UBR family, which we have reported before). [2]As a positive control, ornithine (Orn) was used as a negative control because it is not an amino acid in the N degron pathway (see Figure 3 B).

[0096] Example 3 Degradation of wild-type and different mutant EGFR by Pro(Gly, Orn)-PEG3-BA

[0097] Immunoblotting experiments were performed to determine whether Pro(Gly)-PEG3-BA reduced the level of wild-type EGFR(WT) protein: A549 and H1299 cells expressing endogenous EGFR(WT) genes were plated in 12-well plates and treated with Pro-PEG3-BA, Gly-PEG3-BA, Lys-PEG3-BA (positive control), and Orn-PEG3-BA (negative control). After each PROTAC was treated with 6 different concentrations of 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 20 μM for 72 hours, the cells were lysed with RIPA for 30 minutes, and the BCA protein was quantified. At each concentration, 50 μg of protein samples were used for immunoblotting experiments to detect the protein level of EGFR(WT) at different drug concentrations.

[0098] Immunoblotting experiments were performed to determine whether Pro(Gly)-PEG3-BA reduced the protein level of EGFR(Del19) single mutants: PC9 cells expressing the endogenous EGFR(Del19) gene were plated in 12-well plates and treated with Pro-PEG3-BA, Gly-PEG3-BA, Lys-PEG3-BA, and Orn-PEG3-BA, respectively. After each PROTAC was treated with 6 different concentrations of 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 20 μM for 72 hours, the cells were lysed with RIPA for 30 minutes, and the BCA protein was quantified. At each concentration, 50 μg of protein samples were used for immunoblotting experiments to detect the protein level of EGFR(Del19) at different drug concentrations.

[0099] Immunoblotting experiments were performed to determine whether Pro(Gly)-PEG3-BA reduced the protein level of the EGFR(L858R / T790M) double mutant: H1975 cells expressing the endogenous EGFR(L858R / T790M) gene were plated in 12-well plates and treated with Pro-PEG3-BA, Gly-PEG3-BA, Lys-PEG3-BA, and Orn-PEG3-BA, respectively. After each PROTAC was treated with 6 different concentrations of 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, and 20 μM for 72 hours, the cells were lysed with RIPA for 30 minutes, and the BCA protein was quantified. At each concentration, 50 μg of protein samples were used for immunoblotting experiments to detect the protein level of EGFR(L858R / T790M) at different drug concentrations.

[0100] Immunoblotting showed that Pro-PEG3-BA, Lys-PEG3-BA, Gly-PEG3-BA, Orn-PEG3-BA and BA had no effect on the protein levels of EGFR(WT) and EGFR(Del19). Pro-PEG3-BA and Lys-PEG3-BA showed that they could reduce the protein level of EGFR(L858R / T790M) at 10 μM, and Gly-PEG3-BA showed that it could reduce the protein level of EGFR(L858R / T790M) at 20 μM, while Orn-PEG3-BA and BA had no effect on the protein level of EGFR(L858R / T790M) (see Figure 4 ).

[0101] Therefore, the PROTAC we designed can specifically degrade the EGFR (L858R / T790M) double mutant.

[0102] Example 4 Determination of the effect of Pro-PEG(1-4)-BA with different lengths of PEG linkers on EGFR(L858R / T790M) and EML-ALK

[0103] We selected the better PROTACs with Pro as E3 ligase ligand and designed linkers of different lengths: Pro-PEG1-BA, Pro-PEG2-BA, Pro-PEG3-BA, Pro-PEG4-BA (see Figure 5 A), and each PROTAC was used to treat H1975 or H3122 cells with 6 different concentrations of 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 20 μM for 72 hours. Immunoblotting showed that Pro-PEG1-BA had no effect on the protein level of EGFR (L858R / T790M), while Pro-PEG2-BA, Pro-PEG4-BA and Pro-PEG3-BA could reduce the protein level of EGFR (L858R / T790M) at 20 μM (see Figure 5 B), Pro-PEG1-BA, Pro-PEG2-BA, Pro-PEG3-BA and Pro-PEG4-BA were able to reduce the protein level of EML-ALK at 1 μM (see Figure 5 C), while Pro-PEG3-BA showed the best degradation effect and could reduce the protein level of EGFR (L858R / T790M) at 10 μM (see Figure 5 B), similarly, Pro-PEG3-BA had the best degradation effect on EML-ALK at 1 μM (see Figure 5 C) Our results show that the PROTAC molecule with three PEG3 linkers has the best effect on target protein degradation

[0104] Example 5 Determination of the effects and degradation rates of different PROTACs on EGFR (L858R / T790M) and EML-ALK

[0105] H1975 cells were treated with different concentrations of Pro-PEG3-BA, Gly-PEG3-BA, and Lys-PEG3-BA, and immunoblotting determined that the DC50 of Pro-PEG3-BA for EGFR (L858R / T790M) was 69% at 13.50 μM and 20 μM, the DC50 of Gly-PEG3-BA was 43% at 20 μM, and the DC50 of Lys-PEG3-BA was 52% at 19.66 μM and 20 μM (see Figure 6A and 6C). CCK-8 cell proliferation assay found that the above four compounds can significantly reduce cell activity, among which Pro-PEG3-BA IC50: 8.8μM, Gly-PEG3-BA IC50: 20.74μM, Lys-PEG3-BA IC50: 18.56μM and BA IC50: 0.89μM (see Figure 6 B and 6C).

[0106] Comparison of the degradation rates of EGFR (L858R / T790M) by Pro-PEG3-BA, Gly-PEG3-BA, and Lys-PEG3-BA: We treated H1975 cells with 20 μM of the above three PROTACs for 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h, and found that the time for the three PROTACs to degrade EGFR (L858R / T790M) at 20 μM was Pro-PEG3-BA: ~12 h, Gly-PEG3-BA: ~24 h, Lys-PEG3-BA: ~48 h (see Figure 6 D).

[0107] H3122 cells were treated with different concentrations of Pro-PEG3-BA, Gly-PEG3-BA, and Lys-PEG3-BA, and immunoblotting determined that the DC50 of Pro-PEG3-BA on EML-ALK was 96% at 0.42 μM and 10 μM, the DC50 of Gly-PEG3-BA was 98% at 0.5 μM and 10 μM, and the DC50 of Lys-PEG3-BA was 91% at 1.32 μM and 10 μM (see Figure 6 E and 6G). CCK-8 cell proliferation assay found that the above four compounds can significantly reduce cell activity, among which Pro-PEG3-BA IC50: 0.156μM, Gly-PEG3-BA IC50: 0.843μM, Lys-PEG3-BA IC50: 5.298μM and BA IC50: 0.303μM (see Figure 6 F and 6G).

[0108] Comparison of the degradation rates of Pro-PEG3-BA, Gly-PEG3-BA, and Lys-PEG3-BA on EGFR (L858R / T790M): We treated H3122 cells with 5 μM of the above three PROTACs for 0, 0.25, 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. We found that the time for the three PROTACs to degrade EML-ALK at 5 μM was Pro-PEG3-BA: ~0.75 h, Gly-PEG3-BA: ~0.25 h, and Lys-PEG3-BA: ~3 h (see Figure 6 H)

[0109] Our results show that PROTAC designed by replacing different unstable amino acids Gly, Pro, and Lys can regulate the degradation rate of the target protein.

[0110] Example 6 Determination of the effect of Pro-PEG3-BA on cell cycle and apoptosis of EGFR (L858R / T790M) double mutant and EML-ALK positive NSCLC cells

[0111] Evaluation of the effect of Pro-PEG3-BA on the cell cycle and apoptosis of EGFR (L858R / T790M) double mutants: H1975 cells were treated with different concentrations of 0, 10, and 20 μM Pro-PEG3-BA for 72 h. Flow cytometry analysis showed that Pro-PEG3-BA treatment could effectively block the G1 phase of cells and significantly inhibit the proportion of cells in the S phase and G2 phase ( Figure 7 A-7C). H1975 cells were treated with different concentrations of 0, 10, and 20 μM Pro-PEG3-BA for 72 h. Flow cytometry analysis showed that Pro-PEG3-BA treatment could effectively induce early and late apoptosis of cells (see Figure 7 D and 7E).

[0112] Evaluation of the effect of Pro-PEG3-BA on the cell cycle and apoptosis of ALK-positive NSCLC cells: H3122 cells were treated with different concentrations of 0, 5, and 10 μM Pro-PEG3-BA for 48 h. Flow cytometry analysis showed that Pro-PEG3-BA treatment could effectively block the G1 phase of cells and significantly inhibit the proportion of cells in the S and G2 phases ( Figure 7 F-7H). H3122 cells were treated with different concentrations of 0, 5, and 10 μM Pro-PEG3-BA for 48 h. Flow cytometry analysis showed that Pro-PEG3-BA treatment could effectively induce early and late apoptosis of cells (see Figure 7 I and 7J).

[0113] Our results show that PROTACs based on unstable amino acids can effectively block cell cycle progression and promote apoptosis.
