Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, to pan-KRAS inhibitors and their medical uses, and in particular to a class of KRAS-targeted and mutant KRAS G12C 、KRAS G12D Compounds and their medical uses. Background Art
[0002] RAS protein belongs to the small GTPase family and is closely related to the differentiation, proliferation and survival of downstream cells. RAS protein can switch from the inactive GDP-bound conformation to the active GTP-bound state, so that the signal is normally transmitted to the downstream cells. In tumor cells, RAS protein loses its inherent GTPase activity due to point mutations, thereby maintaining the GTP active state, causing abnormal activation of various downstream signals. There are three main types of RAS mutations: HRAS, KARS and NRAS. Among them, KRAS is the most common mutation in the RAS family, present in 22% of human tumors, especially in lung cancer, colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer. KRAS regulates its activity through the exchange mechanism of GTP and GDP. In the activated state (KRAS-GTP), it binds to downstream effector molecules to initiate signal transduction. In the inactive state (KRAS-GDP), it is regulated by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs). The activation of KRAS involves the MAPK / ERK pathway and the PI3K / AKT pathway, which play an important role in cell growth, differentiation and survival. KRAS mutations cover multiple different sites, among which G12C, G12D and G12R mutations are the most common. KRAS and its mutants are potential drug targets. But on the one hand, it lacks a small molecule binder pocket, and on the other hand, it has a high affinity for GTP and GDP, so the development of drugs targeting KRAS and its mutants is a challenging task. In recent years, it has been discovered that there is a binding pocket P110 on the surface of KRAS. KRAS inhibitors can directly target the P110 pocket of the KRAS protein, preventing it from binding to GTP and maintaining the state of binding to GDP. The discovery of this site may break the long-term "undruggability" of KRAS.
[0003] Currently, research on KRAS mutations mainly focuses on the impact of different mutation types on disease prognosis and targeted therapies for these mutations. G12C and KRAS G12DThe development of mutation inhibitors aims to improve the survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, the application of immunotherapy in patients with KRAS mutations is also a research area that has attracted much attention, especially in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. There are many antagonists targeting KRAS developed at home and abroad, but their low selectivity or poor biological activity limits their further in-depth research. So far, there are only two antagonists targeting KRAS. G12C Drugs are on the market, but without KRAS and its KRAS G12D Inhibitors are on the market, so the discovery of novel and highly effective KRAS inhibitors is of great research significance.
[0004] The compound KAL-21404358 can specifically bind to the binding pocket P110 on the surface of KRAS, and after binding, it can disrupt the interaction between KRAS−B-Raf and destroy the KRAS−B-Raf as well as the Akt and Erk signaling pathways. This discovery and the development of related inhibitors will further break the cycle of KRAS, especially the KRAS mutant KRAS G12D On this basis, the P110 site may be an allosteric regulatory site for KRAS, providing a theoretical basis for the development of targeted drugs. The structure of the lead compound KAL-21404358 in this project is as follows:
[0005]
[0006] As the incidence of cancer is increasing year by year, its pathological mechanism is very complex, therefore, it is urgent to find KRAS inhibitors with diverse structures to alleviate cancer. The present invention uses KAL-21404358 as a lead compound and discovers a new type of substituted quinoline compound, which has good selectivity and anti-tumor cell proliferation activity against KRAS and its mutants.

[0075] Some pharmacological tests and results of the compounds of the present invention are as follows:
[0076] Experimental Example 1: Effects of the compounds of the present invention on KRAS wild-type, KRAS G12C Mutant, KRAS G12D Mutant affinity testing.
[0077] 1.1 Experimental Principle:
[0078] Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) principle: A beam of P-polarized light is incident on the end face of a prism within a certain angle range, and a surface plasmon wave will be generated at the interface between the prism and the metal film (Au or Ag). When the propagation constant of the incident light wave matches the propagation constant of the surface plasmon wave, it causes the free electrons in the metal film to resonate, which is called surface plasmon resonance. During analysis, a layer of biomolecule recognition film is first fixed on the surface of the chip, and then the sample to be tested flows over the surface of the chip. If there are molecules in the sample that can interact with the biomolecule recognition film on the surface of the chip, it will cause the refractive index of the gold film surface to change, and ultimately lead to a change in the SPR angle. By monitoring the change in the SPR angle, the concentration, affinity, kinetic constant and specificity of the analyte can be obtained. Here we use molecular interaction technology to detect the synthesized compounds and KRAS protein to obtain the binding ability of the compounds with KRAS protein.
[0079] 1.2 Experimental method: Weigh an appropriate amount of the compound to be tested and add DMSO to prepare a 25 μM solution. Pipette an appropriate amount of the solution into a 96-well plate and dilute it to 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, and 3.125 μM in sequence. At the same time, set DMSO without the compound to be tested as a blank control.

[0087] 2.1 MTT experimental principle and method
[0088] MTT is 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide. It can determine the survival status of cells and is particularly suitable for detecting chemical substances with cytotoxic functions. Succinate dehydrogenase in living cells can make MTT form blue-purple crystalline formazan, and this crystal is precipitated in the protein. In dead cells, there is no such enzyme. This color reaction is mainly carried out on living cells. After the formazan in the cells is decomposed by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), its absorbance is measured by an enzyme marker, which can indirectly reflect the number of living cells. In short, the content of blue-purple crystalline formazan is positively correlated with the number of living cells.
[0089] A549 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and passaged every 2-3 days. The cell culture incubator was set at the following conditions: CO2 concentration: 5%, temperature: 37 o C, Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were used for the experiment.
[0090] A375 cells were cultured in high-glucose DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and passaged every 2-3 days. The cell culture incubator was set at: CO2 concentration: 5%, temperature: 37 o C, Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were used for the experiment.
[0091] LOVO cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and passaged every 2-3 days. The cell culture incubator was set at: CO2 concentration: 5%, temperature: 37 o C, Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were used for the experiment.
[0092] A549 cells, A375 cells or LOVO cells (8 × 10 3Cells were inoculated into 96-well plates (100 μL / well / 100 μL). After incubation for 24 h, the compounds and cisplatin at the concentration to be tested were added and incubated for another 48 h. After the supernatant of the cultured cells was removed, 100 μL of MTT solution containing a final concentration of 0.5 mg / mL was added to each well. The culture plate was placed in an incubator and incubated for another 4 h. After the supernatant of the cells was removed, 100 μL of DMSO was added. After the culture plate was shaken, the absorbance (OD) at 490 nm was measured using an enzyme marker. Cell activity % = OD value of the drug group / OD value of the blank group * 100%.

[0102] 2.3 Results and Discussion
[0103] KRAS affinity experiments show that most of the synthesized new substituted quinoline compounds have ideal affinity for KRAS and its mutant isomers.

Among them, compounds WY2-038, WY2-041 and WY2-069 have the best affinity for KRAS and its mutants. The inhibitory effect on tumor cell proliferation shows that compound WY2-069 has a good inhibitory effect on human lung cancer (A549), human melanoma (A375) and human colon cancer (LOVO) cells, has excellent anti-tumor activity, and is superior to cisplatin, laying the foundation for the development of corresponding targeted anticancer drugs.
