Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular relates to the field of small molecule chemical drugs. Background Art

[0002] Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase (eEF2K) is a Ca2+-binding protein encoded by the human eEF2K gene. 2+ / Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. eEF2K can regulate protein synthesis by regulating peptide chain elongation rate through phosphorylation of eEF2 (Thr 56) or autophosphorylation. Recently, more and more studies have shown that enhanced eEF2K activity can often be observed in many types of tumors, including triple-negative breast cancer, melanoma, etc. Activated eEF2K can inhibit protein synthesis, reduce the consumption of cell nutrition and energy, thereby helping tumor cells resist adverse environments and promote their proliferation. Consistent with this hypothesis, more and more studies have reported that inhibiting the expression or activity of eEF2K will impair tumor cell proliferation. Therefore, eEF2K is considered to be a new potential target for cancer treatment, and the research and development of eEF2K-targeted compounds has important clinical significance. However, there are no drugs targeting eEF2K that can be used in the clinic to treat tumors or other diseases, so the development of such compounds has a very broad research prospect.

[0003] At present, most of the reported eEF2K small molecule inhibitors inhibit its ATP site. Among them, the more representative NH125 has the disadvantage of non-specific inhibition of eEF2K; and although A-484954 has a certain selective inhibitory effect on eEF2K, its anti-tumor effect is poor and it is difficult to cause tumor cell death at an effective concentration.

[0109] Example 1: Verification of the eEF2K degradation function and mechanism of compound X or XI

[0110] 1. Cell culture and plating

[0111] The experiment used MDA-MB-231 cell lines with a good condition and a passage number of 12 to 20. The cells were cultured at a rate of 1×10 5 / mL(2×10 4 Pieces / cm 2 ) were seeded at a density of 10 μM in a six-well plate, with each well as a drug intervention group. When the cells grew to a density of 70% to 80%, the serum-free DMEM medium containing 10 μM DMSO solution of compound X or XI (corresponding to the above compounds a1-10 and b1-10, respectively) was replaced in the drug-treated group; the serum-free DMEM medium containing an equal amount of DMSO was added to the control group.

[0112] 2. Cell protein extraction

[0113] After adding the drug, the cells were incubated in a 37°C 5% CO2 cell culture incubator for 48 hours, and then the cell protein was extracted. All operations were performed on ice, specifically including the following steps:

[0114] ① Preparation of protein lysis buffer: Mix Western and IP cell lysis buffer (Biyuntian, P0013) + 1% PMSF (Biyuntian, ST505);

[0115] ② Remove the culture medium and rinse the cells in the six-well plate with 1 ml PBS;

[0116] ③ Add 120 μL of protein lysate to each well and incubate in a 4°C refrigerator for 30 min;

[0117] ④ Use a cell scraper to scrape off the adherent cells and transfer the cells + lysate to a pre-cooled 1.5 mL EP tube at the bottom;

[0118] ⑤ Centrifuge the EP tube containing the collected cells at 4°C, 13,300 rpm for 15 min;

[0119] ⑥ After centrifugation, transfer the supernatant (protein extract) to another 1.5mL EP tube with pre-cooled bottom.

[0120] 3. Sample preparation and Western Blot

[0121] The entire process of sample preparation and Western Blot includes the following steps:

[0122] ① Determination of total protein concentration: The total protein concentration was determined using the BCA colorimetric method. Take 2 μL of protein extract and add it to a 96-well plate, dilute it to 20 μL with PBS, prepare and add 200 μL of BCA working solution, incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes, and measure the absorbance at 562 nm. Do three replicates for each sample well. Use the protein standard provided in the BCA kit (Thermo, 23225) to draw a standard curve, calculate the average total protein concentration of each sample based on the absorbance values ​​obtained, and unify the total protein loading to calculate the loading volume of each sample.

[0123] ② Sample preparation: Add 5x Loading Buffer (Thermo, NP0008) and cell extract to the protein sample in a volume ratio of 1:4, and heat in a 100°C metal bath for 10 min.

[0124] ③ Electrophoresis: Use 14.4g glycine, 3.03g TRIS base, 1g SDS, and pure water to make up to 1L to prepare electrophoresis solution. Add protein sample or 2μL protein marker to each well in sequence, fill the electrophoresis tank with pre-prepared electrophoresis solution, perform electrophoresis at 80V for 30min, and then at 120V for 50min.

[0125] ④ Transfer: Use 14.4g glycine, 3.03g TRIS base, add pure water to 1L to prepare transfer buffer. Form a sandwich system in Transfer Buffer (Tris-Glycine-SDS-ethanol) and transfer to the transfer tank. Fill the tank with pre-prepared transfer buffer and transfer on ice for 95 minutes at 270mA to transfer the protein blot on the gel to the PVDF membrane.

[0126] ⑤ Blocking and cutting: Place the PVDF membrane with the front side facing down immediately after transfer into an incubation box containing 5% skimmed milk powder, shake it at room temperature for 1 hour, then wash it three times with TBST solution, and then cut out the bands at the corresponding positions according to the molecular weight of eEF2K and GAPDH.

[0127] ⑥ Primary antibody incubation: The primary antibody for eEF2K was Human-eEF2K antibody (ABcam, ab45168) diluted 1:1000, and the primary antibody for GAPDH was GAPDH (Servicebio, GB11002) diluted 1:2000. Incubate at 4°C for 15-18h. After primary antibody incubation, rinse three times with TBST to remove unbound residual antibodies on the membrane.

[0128] ⑦ Secondary antibody incubation: The secondary antibody was a rabbit secondary antibody diluted 1:5000 and incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. After the secondary antibody incubation, rinse three times with TBST to remove the unbound residual antibody on the membrane.

[0129] ⑧ Band exposure: Prepare 2 mL of luminescent liquid (New Saimei, P10300), evenly add it on the surface of the PVDF membrane, and use the automatic exposure mode for imaging to obtain the corresponding protein bands.

[0130] 4. Band analysis and statistics

[0131] Image processing and band abundance analysis were performed using Image Lab software, and data summary and statistics were performed using GraphPad software. Two to three independent replicates were performed for each group of results.

[0132] At a dose of 10 μM, compounds a1-a10 had different degrees of degradation effects on eEF2K protein in MDA-MB-231 cells ( Figure 1 ). In MDA-MB-231 and HCC1806 cells, a6 had the most significant degradation effect on eEF2K protein, and degraded eEF2K protein in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, and the effect was prolonged after a6 was washed out ( Figure 2-5 ). And at different concentrations, a6's degradation effect on eEF2K was much better than that of the positive control group (VII) ( Figure 6 ). After pre-treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with NEDD8 activating enzyme inhibitor MLN4924, proteasome inhibitor MG132, eEF2K ligand (VII) or CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand Thalidomide for 6 hours, a6 was added and incubated for 48 hours, and its degradation effect on eEF2K protein was significantly inhibited ( Figure 7 The degradation rates of eEF2K protein in MDA-MB-231 cells at the concentration of 10 μM of the above compounds are summarized in Table 1.

[0133] Example 2: CCK8 assay to detect the inhibitory effect of compound X or XI on MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation

[0134] (1)Planning

[0135] Observe the growth state of MDA-MB-231 cells and select cells in the logarithmic growth phase for the experiment. The cells were digested with trypsin and centrifuged at 800r / min for 5min. Inoculate into 96-well plates, 10,000 cells per well (100μL cell suspension), fill the edge wells with 200μL PBS, and place the 96-well plates in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24h.

[0136] (2) Drug incubation

[0137] The solvent of the compound mother solution is DMSO, and the mother solution concentration is 100mM. The mother solution is diluted to the following concentration gradient (0μM, 10μM, 20μM, 40μM, 80μM, 160μM), and 3 parallels are set for each gradient. In addition, a blank group and a control group are set up (only DMEM complete medium is added to the wells of the blank group; and only MDA-MB-231 cells and DMEM complete medium are added to the wells of the control group). The 96-well plate is placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator and incubated for 72h.

[0138] (3) OD value detection

[0139] The 96-well plate that had been incubated with drugs for 72 h was taken out of the incubator, and 20 μL of CCK8 (5 mg / mL) was added to each well in a biosafety cabinet in the dark. The 96-well plate was placed in the incubator and incubated for 1.5 h, then the 96-well plate was taken out and the absorbance at a wavelength of 450 nm was measured using an ELISA reader.

[0148] Example 3: Molecular docking simulation and molecular dynamics simulation of the binding of a6 to the ternary complex of eEF2K and CRBN.

[0149] Using Software Molecular docking simulation and molecular dynamics simulation were performed using software (2021-4, LLC, New York, NY, USA). The protein crystal structure files of eEF2K (PDB code: 8gm4) and CRBN (PDB code: 4v2z) were downloaded through the PDB database (Protein Data Bank https: / / www.rcsb.org / ). The Protein preparation component of the molecular docking software Maestro 13.5 was used to prepare the above files, and the Tnip-tolide files were processed using the LigPrep component; the Receptor Grid Gener component was used to define the binding site, and the Ligand Docking component was used to perform docking simulations on small molecules and proteins, and Desmond was used for molecular dynamics simulations. The results of molecular docking simulations show that a6 can form key forces with E229, Y236, D274 of eEF2K and F77, W79, and Y101 of CRBN ( Figure 8 ); Molecular dynamics simulation results show that compared with the binding of eEF2K and CRBN, the ternary complex formed after the addition of a6 has a higher stability ( Fig. 9 ).

[0150] Example 4: Detection of the efficacy of a6 in BALB / c nude mice bearing MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumors

[0151] All animal experiments were approved by the Department of Experimental Animal Science of Central South University. MDA-MB-231 cells (1×10 6 / mouse) was suspended in 100 μL DMEM medium and then injected subcutaneously into the right side of 4-week-old female nude mice. Each group had 6-7 mice. Tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into groups. When the tumor size reached 80-90 mm 3 (Volume = length × width 2 ×π / 6), and mice were randomly divided into designated groups for 14 days of treatment. DMSO, compound VII, and a6 were injected intraperitoneally every other day. Mice were randomly divided into designated groups and treated with: (1) vehicle (DMSO), (2) compound VII (20 mg / kg), (3) a6 (10 mg / kg), (4) a6 (20 mg / kg). Tumor volume and mouse body weight were measured every other day.

[0152] Considering that a6 has unusually strong antiproliferative and degradation effects in vitro, we further performed in vivo studies to examine its efficacy in BALB / c nude mice bearing MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumors ( Figure 5A) After the last treatment, mice were sacrificed and dissected, and xenograft tumors were harvested for further analysis. Figure 10-11 As shown, compared with the control group, intraperitoneal injection of a6 can significantly inhibit the growth of MDA-MB-231 tumors. The tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI%) of the 10 mg / kg group was 68.2%, and the TGI% of 20 mg / kg was 85.3%, while the eEF2K inhibitor VII had little inhibitory effect on tumor growth.

[0153] At the same time, a6 (10 mg / kg) and a6 (20 mg / kg) were well tolerated by nude mice. We tested a series of serum biochemical markers of hepatorenal toxicity. At the therapeutic dose, no obvious drug-related toxicity was observed in the xenograft model with a6, and H&E staining showed no obvious pathological damage to important organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney ( Fig.12 ), and no animals died during the treatment period in each group. In conclusion, these data indicate that a6 is effective and safe in vivo in xenograft mouse models.

[0154] To elucidate the molecular changes of a6 in tumors in vivo, we then investigated whether a6 could deplete eEF2K protein in xenograft tumor tissues. Immunoblotting analysis showed that a6 at doses of 10 mg / kg and 20 mg / kg could effectively reduce the level of eEF2K protein in MDA-MB-231 tumor tissues, while VII did not cause a significant decrease in eEF2K expression ( Fig.13 ).

[0155] Example 5: Construction of a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles to enhance the therapeutic effect of a6 against triple-negative breast cancer

[0156] Since a6 has a large molecular weight and poor water solubility, a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles were constructed to enhance the ability of a6 to penetrate the cell membrane, thereby enhancing the anti-triple-negative breast cancer effect of a6.

[0157] (1) Preparation of a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles

[0158] First, 10 μL of 10 mM a6 DMSO solution was quickly added to 1 mL of 60 mM 2-methylimidazole solution under vigorous stirring and stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes. Then, 1 mL of 10 mM zinc nitrate hexahydrate aqueous solution was added dropwise and continued to stir at room temperature. After the reaction was completed, the mixed solution was centrifuged at 16000 rpm, the supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate was redispersed with deionized water to obtain a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles.

[0159] (2) Characterization of a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles

[0160] The particle size and potential of a6@ZIF-8NPs were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis using a Malvern Zetasizer Nano series (Nano ZS, Malvern Instruments). The morphology of a6@ZIF-8NPs was observed using transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (TEM-EDS, Titan G260-300, FEI).

[0161] (3) Determination of cellular uptake of a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles

[0162] MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured at 10 7 The density of cells / mL was placed in a 6-well plate and exposed to the same concentration of a6 or a6@ZIF-8 (1μM, 2μM). The cells were incubated at 37°C for 12h to reach a steady state. Then, the culture medium was discarded, the cells were washed twice with PBS, and then the cells were collected in an EP tube and sonicated at 20wHZ for 2min using a cell sonicator. Finally, the supernatant was collected and the intracellular accumulation of a6 was determined by HPLC.

[0163] (4) CCK8 assay to detect the cell proliferation inhibitory effect of a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles

[0164] Please refer to Example 2 for the detailed method.

[0165] (5) Detection of the degradation effect of a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles on eEF2K

[0166] Please refer to Example 1 for the detailed method.

[0167] Based on the above experiments showing the antitumor effect of a6, we next designed and fabricated a nanocarrier-based system that can deliver a6 to tumor sites ( Fig.14 ). Transmission electron microscopy images show that a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles have an ordered dodecahedral morphology. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis shows that the nanoparticles contain C, O, N and Zn elements. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the structural purity of a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles ( Fig.15 The average particle size of the prepared a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles is about 191.5 nm, and the zeta potential is -25.5 mV ( Fig.16 HPLC detection found that the cell uptake rate of a6@ZIF-8 was 15-20 times higher than that of a6 at the same concentration ( Fig.17 a6@ZIF-8 has a good anti-proliferative ability against MDA-MB-231 and HCC1806, IC 50 Compared with a6, it is reduced by more than 10 times ( Fig.18a6@ZIF-8 can also cause a significant decrease in the expression of eEF2K in MDA-MB-231 and HCC1806 in a dose- and time-dependent manner, which is significantly higher than that of a6 ( Fig.19 ). The above results show that a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles significantly enhance the degradation ability of a6 for eEF2K and its anti-triple-negative breast cancer effect.
