Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmacy, and in particular to a heteroindole derivative and a synthesis method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The human genome encodes 20 CDKs, most of which have been identified in their evolutionary relationships. CDKs are divided into two subfamilies: cell cycle-related CDKs (CDK1-7 and 14-18) and transcription-related CDKs (CDK7-13, 19, and 20). Different CDKs interact with different cell cycle proteins to regulate cell cycle stages or perform other functions. Among them, CDK9 is closely related to the occurrence and development of a variety of tumors, and intervention in CDK9 can affect the biological functions of tumor cells. Mechanistically, inhibition of CDK9 can block the phosphorylation of RNAPIICTD, induce downregulation of MYC and Mcl-1 protein levels, and promote apoptosis of tumor cells. Currently, due to the toxicity, lack of specificity, or drug resistance of early-developed CDK9 inhibitors, there are no drugs targeting CDK9 on the market. Therefore, the development of new small molecule inhibitors targeting CDK9 can provide candidate compounds for CDK9-related disease treatment drugs. Summary of the invention

The weight of mice in each group was recorded every day. After the drug administration, the nude mice were killed, the tumors were removed, photographed and weighed.

[0103] After constructing a common HCT116 cell mouse tumor model, when the tumor initially grows to 50 mm 3 After that, the drug was started. The results of the pharmacodynamic experiment were as follows Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that after 14 days of intraperitoneal injection of 25 mg / kg, the tumor volume of mice increased slowly compared with the control group, and the final peeled tumor weight also had a statistical difference. At the same time, the weight changes of mice after administration were also within the normal range.
