Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicine, specifically relating to a novel ligand compound that binds to the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase protein. Background Technology
[0002] Protein degradation is a highly regulated process essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) enables the selective identification and removal of damaged, misfolded, or excess proteins. UPP removes defective proteins and is characterized by ATP dependence, high efficiency, and high selectivity. Its catalytic component is the ubiquitin-derived E3 ligase, but it requires the prior recruitment of the protein to be degraded. PROTACs technology is designed based on the UPP principle, linking the target protein ligand and the E3 ligase ligand with appropriate chemical bonds. This allows for the recognition of the target protein and enhances the binding affinity of the E3 ligase to the target protein, thereby targeting ubiquitination and forcing the degradation of the target protein. It also features high catalytic activity, high efficiency, and high selectivity.
[0003] Multiple ubiquitin molecules are covalently linked to terminal lysine residues via E3 ubiquitin ligase to label proteins for proteasomal degradation. The protein is then digested into small peptides and ultimately into its constituent amino acids, which serve as building blocks for new proteins. Defective proteasomal degradation is associated with a variety of clinical conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophy, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
[0004] Cerebellum protein (Cereblon) is a thalidomide-binding protein and part of the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein complex. It acts as a substrate receptor, selectively targeting ubiquitinated proteins. Cereblon is encoded by the human CRBN gene. Cereblon, along with DNA damage binding protein 1 (DDBl), Cullin-4A (CUL4A), and the Cullin-1 regulator (ROCI), forms the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. This complex can ubiquitinate a range of proteins, but the specific mechanism is not yet fully understood. Cereblon is currently a commonly used E3 ligase in PROTACs technology.
[0005] This invention discloses a novel class of spirocyclic compounds that can serve as effective CRBN ligands. Furthermore, they can be used to synthesize corresponding bifunctional PROTACs that target protein degradation chimeras, which can be used to treat various medical conditions, especially abnormal cell proliferation.

[0182] 2. Experimental Methods
[0183] The compound powder was dissolved in DMSO, and the compound was serially diluted with ECHO and added to a 384-well reaction plate to make the final concentration of DMSO in the entire reaction system (10.0 μL) 1.0%. An equal amount of DMSO was added as a control.
[0184] CRBN / DDB1 protein was diluted twice to the desired final concentration (5.0 nM) using 20 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, 20 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.08% bovine serum albumin, and pH 7.0 buffer. 5.0 μL of the diluted CRBN / DDB1 protein was added to a 384-well plate containing the added compounds. The plate was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute and then placed on a microplate shaker at 25°C. o Pre-incubate at 250 rpm for 15 minutes at C. Dilute Anti-6His-Tb crypate Gold and FITC-labeled thalidomide analogue to twice the desired final concentration using 20 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate, 20 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.08% bovine serum albumin, and pH 7.0 buffer. The final concentration of Anti-6His-Tb crypate Gold was 0.2 nM, and the final concentration of FITC-labeled thalidomide analogue was 50.0 nM, yielding a mixture of Anti-6His-Tb crypate Gold and FITC-labeled thalidomide analogue. Add 5.0 μL of this mixture to a 384-well plate, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 1 minute, and then incubate on a microplate shaker at 25°C. o Incubate at 250 rpm for 30 minutes at C. After the reaction, read the fluorescence signal values in the 384-well plate using a microplate reader (Ex = 337 nm Em = 520 / 490 nm).
[0185] 3. Data Analysis
[0186] The solvent group (containing 5.0 nM CRBN / DDB1, 0.2 nM Anti-6His-Tb crypate Gold, 50.0 nM FITC-labeled thalidomide analogue and 1.0% DMSO) served as the negative control, and the reaction buffer group (containing 0.2 nM Anti-6His-Tb crypate Gold, 50.0 nM FITC-labeled thalidomide analogue and 1.0% DMSO) served as the blank control.
[0187] The formula for calculating the percentage of remaining activity at each concentration is as follows:
[0188] Remaining vitality (%) = 100% × (Flu)化合物组 -Flu 空白对照 ) / (Flu 阴性对照 -Flu 空白对照 )
[0189] Then, the IC was calculated by fitting the dose-effect curve using GraphPad 6.0. 50 value.

[0195] 2. Experimental Methods
[0196] Mix 6.1 mL of 200 mM disodium hydrogen phosphate aqueous solution with 3.9 mL of 200 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution to obtain 200 mM PB buffer (pH 7.0). Take 600 μL of 200 mM PB buffer and 3 μL of 10% Tween 20 aqueous solution, add to 5397 μL of deionized water, and mix well to obtain a detection buffer with pH 7.0.
[0197] Using the detection buffer solution prepared above, press the desalting column Zeba TM Follow the instructions in the Spin Desalting Columns instructions (Thermo Scientific, #89882) to perform buffer replacement on the protein storage solution; after replacement, use a microplate reader (BMG PHERAstar FSX) to measure the OD value of the protein solution. 280nmThe UV absorbance was measured, and the concentration after displacement was calculated. Based on the measured concentration, the protein was diluted to 10 μM with detection buffer, and DMSO was added to a final concentration of 1%, for a total volume of 300 μL. After short-term centrifugation at room temperature, the protein was ready for use.
[0198] Dissolve the dry compound powder in DMSO, then dilute the compound to 100 μM with the above-mentioned detection buffer, and adjust the DMSO to a final concentration of 1%, for a total volume of 100 μL. Centrifuge the compound solution at 15,000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature, and then collect at least 75 μL of the supernatant for later use.
[0199] Clean the MicroCal PEAQ-ITC ITC instrument according to the instrument's procedure. After cleaning, perform a water droplet test to check the instrument's cleanliness and condition. During sample titration, add the protein sample to the sample cell and the compound solution to the titrator. Set the instrument temperature to 25°C, Reference Power (ucal / s) to 5.00, feedback mode to "High," and stirring speed to 750 rpm. Perform 19 drops in total. Discard the first drop and continue titrating the remaining 18 drops at 2 µL / 4 s intervals, equilibrating for 150 s between each drop. After titration, clean the instrument. Perform the water droplet test again to ensure the instrument is clean and in good condition. Then, perform the control titration. Prepare the compound as described above and add it to the titrator; separately prepare 300 µL of detection buffer containing 1% DMSO and add it to the sample cell. Set the instrument parameters as above and perform the titration.
