Abstract
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 Ca-dependent protein encoded by the human eEF2K gene. 2+ / Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. eEF2K can regulate protein synthesis by regulating peptide chain elongation through phosphorylation of eEF2 (Thr 56) or autophosphorylation. Recently, an increasing number of studies have shown that enhanced eEF2K activity is often observed in many types of tumors, including triple-negative breast cancer and melanoma. Activated eEF2K can inhibit protein synthesis, reduce cellular nutrient and energy consumption, thereby helping tumor cells resist adverse environments and promote their proliferation. Consistent with this hypothesis, an increasing number of studies have reported that inhibiting the expression or activity of eEF2K impairs tumor cell proliferation. Therefore, eEF2K is considered a new potential target for cancer treatment, and the development of eEF2K-targeting compounds has important clinical significance. However, there are no drugs targeting eEF2K that can be used in clinical practice to treat tumors or other diseases. Therefore, the development of such compounds has broad research prospects.
[0003] Currently, most reported small molecule inhibitors of eEF2K inhibit its ATP site. Among them, the more representative NH125 has the disadvantage of non-specific inhibition of eEF2K. While A-484954 has a certain degree of selective inhibition of eEF2K, its anti-tumor effect is poor and it is difficult to cause tumor cell death at effective concentrations. Therefore, it is necessary to discover an eEF2K inhibitor that can effectively kill tumor cells. Summary of the Invention

[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 passage number of 12 to 20 and good condition. 5 / mL(2×10 4 pieces / cm 2 ) were seeded at a density of 10 μM in six-well plates, with each well serving as a drug intervention group. When the cells grew to a density of 70% to 80%, the drug-treated group was replaced with serum-free DMEM medium containing 10 μM DMSO solution of compound X or XI (corresponding to the above-mentioned compounds a1-10 and b1-10, respectively); the control group was supplemented with serum-free DMEM medium containing an equal amount of DMSO.
[0112] 2. Cell protein extraction
[0113] After drug addition, the cells were incubated in a 37°C 5% CO2 cell culture incubator for 48 hours, and then cell protein extraction was performed. All operations were performed on ice, specifically including the following steps:
[0114] ① Preparation of protein lysis buffer: use Western and IP cell lysis buffer (Biyuntian, P0013) + 1% PMSF (Biyuntian, ST505) mixed;
[0115] ② Remove the culture medium and rinse the cells in the six-well plate with 1 ml of 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 1.5 mL 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 Total protein concentration determination: The total protein concentration was determined using the BCA colorimetric method. 2 μL of protein extract was added to a 96-well plate, diluted to 20 μL with PBS, and 200 μL of BCA working solution was prepared and added. After incubation at 37°C for 30 minutes, the absorbance at 562 nm was measured. Three replicates were performed for each sample well. A standard curve was drawn using the protein standard provided in the BCA kit (Thermo, 23225). The average total protein concentration of each sample was calculated based on the absorbance values obtained. The sample volume for each sample was calculated using the standard total protein loading amount.
[0123] ② Sample preparation: Add 5x Loading Buffer (Thermo, NP0008) and cell extract to the protein sample at a volume ratio of 1:4, mix, and heat in a 100°C metal bath for 10 min.
[0124] ③ Electrophoresis: Prepare the electrophoresis solution using 14.4 g glycine, 3.03 g TRIS base, and 1 g SDS, dilute to 1 L with purified water. Add protein sample or 2 μL of protein marker to each well in sequence. Fill the electrophoresis tank with the prepared electrophoresis solution and run the solution at 80 V for 30 min, followed by 120 V for 50 min.
[0125] ④ Transfer: Prepare transfer buffer by adding 14.4g glycine and 3.03g TRIS base to 1L with purified water. Form a sandwich system in Transfer Buffer (Tris-Glycine-SDS-Ethanol) and transfer to a transfer tank filled with pre-prepared transfer buffer. Transfer the protein blot from the gel to the PVDF membrane on ice at 270mA for 95 minutes.
[0126] ⑤ Blocking and cutting: Place the transferred PVDF membrane face down immediately in an incubation box containing 5% skim milk powder, shake at room temperature for 1 hour, then wash 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 15-18 hours. 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, the membrane was rinsed three times with TBST to remove the residual unbound antibody on the membrane.
[0129] ⑧ Band exposure: Prepare 2 mL of luminescent solution (New Saimei, P10300) and evenly add it to the surface of the PVDF membrane. 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. Each group of results was independently repeated two to three times.
[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 showed the most significant degradation of eEF2K protein, and degraded eEF2K protein in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, with the effect lasting even after a6 was washed away ( Figure 2-5 ). And at different concentrations, a6's degradation effect on eEF2K was far superior to 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 effect on eEF2K protein degradation was significantly inhibited ( Figure 7 The degradation rates of eEF2K protein in MDA-MB-231 cells by the above compounds at a concentration of 10 μM 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] MDA-MB-231 cell growth was observed, and cells in the logarithmic growth phase were selected for the experiment. Cells were trypsinized and centrifuged at 800 rpm for 5 minutes. 10,000 cells were seeded into a 96-well plate (100 μL cell suspension) per well. The edge wells were filled with 200 μL of PBS and the 96-well plate was incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours.
[0136] (2) Drug incubation
[0137] The compound stock solution was prepared in DMSO at a concentration of 100 mM. The stock solution was diluted to the following concentration gradient (0 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM, 40 μM, 80 μM, 160 μM), with three replicates per gradient. In addition, blank and control groups were set up (the blank group wells contained only DMEM complete medium; the control group wells contained only MDA-MB-231 cells and DMEM complete medium). The 96-well plates were incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 72 h.
[0138] (3) OD value detection
[0139] The 96-well plate that had been incubated with drugs for 72 h was removed from 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. The 96-well plate was then removed and the absorbance at a wavelength of 450 nm was measured using a microplate 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 the 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 binding sites were defined using the Receptor Grid Gener component, 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 showed that a6 could form key forces with E229, Y236, D274 of eEF2K and F77, W79, and Y101 of CRBN ( Figure 8 ); Molecular dynamics simulation results show that the ternary complex formed after the addition of a6 has higher stability than the binding of eEF2K and CRBN ( Figure 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 Laboratory Animal Science of Central South University. 6 The 100 μL DMEM medium was then injected into the right side of 4-week-old female nude mice. Each group consisted of 6-7 mice. The 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 and treated for 14 days. 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), and (4) a6 (20 mg / kg). Tumor volume and mouse body weight were measured every other day.
[0152] Considering that a6 has an unusually strong anti-proliferative and degradative effect in vitro, we further conducted in vivo studies to examine its efficacy in BALB / c nude mice bearing MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumors ( Figure 5After the last treatment, the mice were sacrificed and dissected, and the xenograft tumors were collected 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 the 20 mg / kg group 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 hepatotoxicity and renal toxicity. At the therapeutic dose, a6 did not observe obvious drug-related toxicity in the xenograft model, and H&E staining showed no obvious pathological damage to important organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys ( Figure 12 ), and no animals died during the treatment period in any group. In conclusion, these data indicate that a6 is effective and safe in vivo in xenograft mouse models.
[0154] To elucidate the molecular changes induced by a6 in tumors in vivo, we then investigated whether a6 could deplete eEF2K protein in xenograft tumor tissues. Immunoblot analysis showed that a6 at doses of 10 mg / kg and 20 mg / kg effectively reduced eEF2K protein levels in MDA-MB-231 tumor tissues, whereas VII did not cause a significant decrease in eEF2K expression ( Figure 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 a 10 mM a6 solution in DMSO was rapidly added to 1 mL of a 60 mM 2-methylimidazole solution under vigorous stirring. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes. Next, 1 mL of a 10 mM zinc nitrate hexahydrate solution was added dropwise, with continued stirring at room temperature. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was centrifuged at 16,000 rpm, the supernatant discarded, and the precipitate 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-8 NPs were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis using a Malvern Zetasizer Nano series (Nano ZS, Malvern Instruments). The morphology of a6@ZIF-8 NPs 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 Cells were plated in 6-well plates at a density of 1 μM cells / mL and exposed to the same concentrations of a6 or a6@ZIF-8 (1 μM and 2 μM). The cells were incubated at 37°C for 12 hours to reach a steady state. The culture medium was then discarded, and the cells were washed twice with PBS. The cells were then collected in EP tubes and sonicated at 20 Hz for 2 minutes using a cell sonicator. 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 detailed method.
[0165] (5) Detection of the degradation effect of a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles on eEF2K
[0166] Please refer to Example 1 for detailed method.
[0167] Based on the above experiments showing the anti-tumor effect of a6, we next designed and fabricated a nanocarrier-based system that can deliver a6 to tumor sites ( Figure 14 Transmission electron microscopy images showed that a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles had an ordered dodecahedral morphology. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis showed that the nanoparticles contained C, O, N, and Zn elements. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the structural purity of a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles ( Figure 15 The average particle size of the prepared a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles was about 191.5 nm, and the ζ potential was -25.5 mV ( Figure 16 HPLC analysis revealed that the cellular uptake rate of a6@ZIF-8 was 15-20 times higher than that of a6 at the same concentration ( Figure 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 ( Figure 18a6@ZIF-8 can also cause a significant decrease in eEF2K expression in MDA-MB-231 and HCC1806 in a dose- and time-dependent manner, which is significantly higher than that of a6 ( Figure 19 The above results indicate that a6@ZIF-8 nanoparticles significantly enhance the degradation ability of a6 for eEF2K and its anti-triple-negative breast cancer effect.
