AI Technical Summary
Existing covalent inhibitors are difficult to target lysine residues with high selectivity, and they are prone to covalently binding to non-target proteins in the biological environment, resulting in low selectivity and hindering the development of covalent inhibitors targeting lysine.
The method employs a hydroxyoxime compound that is selectively covalently modified with lysine residues after oxidation, and controls reactivity through an oxidation-induced strategy to ensure that covalent binding only occurs after the target protein has bound.
This method achieves highly selective covalent modification and labeling of lysine residues, enhancing the development potential of targeted lysine inhibitors, which exhibit good kinase inhibitory activity and anti-tumor cell proliferation activity.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of chemical biology molecular probes and chemical medicine, in particular, hydroxamic acid compounds and their application in covalently binding to lysine residues of proteins. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, the development of covalent inhibitors has achieved excellent results and is applied to the treatment of various diseases. Targeted covalent inhibitors can covalently bind to target proteins and have a long-lasting effect on target protein function. Therefore, targeted covalent inhibitors have the advantages of long-lasting drug efficacy, low drug dosage, and high selectivity. Most of the covalent inhibitors marketed in recent years target covalent cysteine residues. For example, the anticancer drug neratinib covalently binds to the 797th cysteine of EGFR through acrylamide. However, cysteine is very low in abundance in the human proteome, accounting for only 1.9% of amino acid residues in the human proteome. Many ligand binding sites lack accessible cysteine; and with further research, we have found that highly active cysteine is prone to acquired drug resistance due to mutation. For example, the C797S cysteine mutation in EGFR is a common drug resistance mechanism.
[0003] Therefore, the development of targeted covalent inhibitors faces two difficulties. One is that the targetable amino acid is limited to cysteine, which is low in abundance. The other is that the mutation of highly active cysteine leads to acquired drug resistance. In order to solve the above problems, in recent years, researchers have turned their attention to lysine residues, which are 3 times more abundant than cysteine residues in the human proteome and are more conservative and less prone to mutation. Researchers have analyzed and quantified more than 9,000 lysine residues using co-crystal technology and isoTOP-ABPP technology to find that AURKA kinase can covalently bind to lysine residue K162. However, compared with the abundant lysine residues in the human proteome, the number of identified covalent lysine residues is relatively small, and no targeted lysine covalent inhibitor has been approved for marketing. Therefore, it is urgent to find and identify other high-abundance covalent amino acid residues to develop more targeted lysine covalent inhibitors.
[0004] In past research, scientists have been committed to developing covalent probes that can highly selectively bind to lysine residues by continuously improving and innovating chemical strategies. However, some existing lysine probes, such as aryl sulfonyl fluoride warheads, have too high chemical reactivity and can bind to lysine, tyrosine, and serine, which are not highly selective and specific for lysine. On the other hand, some existing lysine probes directly covalently bind to non-target protein lysine residues due to their high reactivity after entering the biological environment. The process of existing lysine probes approaching target proteins lacks control, resulting in low selectivity for target proteins. These factors hinder the development of targeted lysine covalent inhibitors. SUMMARY
[0005] Based on this, the present application provides a class of hydroxamic acid compounds which can selectively covalently modify and label lysine residues after oxidation.

[0193] Example 22 Probe compound M1 oxidation-induced labeling of pure protein
[0194] The probe M1 was prepared into a probe stock solution with a concentration of 1 mM using DMSO, and NaIO4 was prepared into an oxidant stock solution with a concentration of 2 mM using PBS. Bovine albumin (BSA) pure protein was prepared into a solution with a concentration of 0.5 mg / mL using PBS.
[0195] Oxidation scheme A (pre-mixing): The M1 probe stock solution and the oxidant stock solution were mixed, and after 2 hours of reaction, 2 μL of DMSO or 2 μL of the reaction solution was added to the BSA pure protein solution, which was then incubated in a constant temperature shaker at 37°C for 2 hours.
[0196] Oxidation scheme B (incubation first and then oxidation): 1 μL of DMSO or 1 μL of the M1 probe stock solution was added to the pure protein solution and incubated for 2 hours, and then 1 μL of the NaIO4 stock solution was added and incubated in a constant temperature shaker at 37°C for 2 hours.
[0197] After incubation, the sample solution was added with click chemistry reagents (0.5 μL of 10 mM TBTA, 0.5 μL of 100 mM TCEP, 0.5 μL of 100 mM CuSO4, and 0.5 μL of 10 mM TAMRA-N3 solution), and the mixed sample was placed in a rotary shaker for reaction at room temperature for 2 hours. After adding 6 μL of 5x SDS loading buffer, 15 μL of the sample solution was separated by SDS-PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and after electrophoresis at a constant voltage of 90 V for 30 min, the voltage was adjusted to 110 V for electrophoresis for 60 min. Finally, a biomacromolecular interaction imager was used for scanning and imaging.
[0198] The results are shown in Table 1. Figure 1As shown: When probe M1 was premixed with an oxidant and then added to oxidation scheme A of purified BSA protein, probe M1 did not produce a clear labeled band. Only when probe M1 was first incubated with purified BSA protein and then added to oxidation scheme B (induced by NaIO4) did probe M1 show a clear labeling effect on purified BSA protein. This indicates that hydroxamic acid molecules can only react with protein amino acid residues after oxidation induction, and that the covalent linkage with amino acid residues can only be achieved after the hydroxamic acid molecules are incubated with the protein for a period of time and come into proximity to the amino acid residues, followed by induction with the oxidant. It is speculated that the reason for this phenomenon is that the nitrosocarbonyl intermediate generated after the oxidation of hydroxamic acid has a short lifespan and high reactivity. If there are no nearby amino acid residues for the nitrosocarbonyl intermediate to react with it when it is generated, it will immediately react with surrounding water molecules and become inactive, unable to react with amino acid residues.
[0199] Example 23 Effect of Oxidizing Agent on Marking Effect
[0200] In this embodiment, five oxidants were selected: tert-Butyl Hypochlorite (BuOCl), H2O2, NaIO4, [Bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene (PIFA), and chloramine T. The probe M1 was oxidized and reacted with purified BSA protein according to oxidation scheme B described in Example 22, and the oxidation effect was visualized by fluorescence imaging.
[0201] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, under the same concentration (final concentration of oxidant is 200 μM, final concentration of M1 is 100 μM) and oxidation time, NaIO4 and chloramine T have better oxidation effects on probe M1, with NaIO4 showing the best effect and the best labeling effect on pure BSA protein.
[0202] Example 24: Effect of Hydroxyxamic Acid Structure on Labeling Efficacy
[0203] This example compares the differences in labeling effects of M1 and M2 on purified protein after oxidation induction. Probes M1 and M2 at the same concentration (final concentration 100 μM) were added to a BSA purified protein solution and incubated for 2 hours. Then, NaIO4 at twice the probe concentration was added and incubated for another 2 hours. Click reagent was then added, and fluorescence imaging was performed after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The detailed method is the same as in Example 22.
[0204] The results are as follows Figure 3As shown, neither probe Ml nor M2 can produce a labeled band without oxidation induction. After oxidation induction, only probe Ml produces a strong labeled band, while probe M2 does not produce a significant labeled band. It can be seen that the specific structure of hydroxamic acid molecules has a great influence on the labeling effect.
[0205] Example 25 Labeling of proteins in cell lysate after oxidation induction of compound Ml
[0206] Cell MDA-MB-231, Bxpc-3, Daudi, A549 and AGS cells were prepared into cell lysate. Taking MDA-MB-231 cells as an example, the specific experimental steps are as follows:
[0207] The culture medium of MDA-MB-231 cells growing to 90% in a 10 cm culture dish was discarded, and the cells were washed twice with 2 mL of PBS added to the wall of the culture dish. Then, 1 mL of trypsin was added to digest the cells until the cells were spherical under a microscope and no longer adhered to each other. Then, 1 mL of serum-containing medium was added to quench the digestion reaction. The cell solution was collected in a 5 mL sample tube, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 3 min to precipitate the cells, and the supernatant was discarded. Then, 1 mL of PBS was added and gently shaken to resuspend the cells in PBS. The cell solution was transferred to a 1.5 mL sample tube. The sample tube was placed in an ice box and ultrasonically broken in a cell ultrasonic crusher. The parameters were set as 3 s on and 3 s off, power 15%, and ultrasonic time 3 min. After ultrasonic treatment, the sample was centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C in a high-speed centrifuge. The obtained supernatant was the cell lysate, and the bottom precipitate was discarded.
[0208] Take 200 μL cell lysate, add 2 μL DMSO or probe Ml (final concentration 100 μM) and react at 37°C for 2 h, then add NaIO4 (final concentration 500 μM) and react at 37°C for 4 h. After filtration by ultrafiltration membrane spin column, add TAMRA-N3, TBTA, TCEP, CuSO4 (final concentrations are 100 μM, 100 μM, 1 mM, 1 mM respectively) and incubate at 37°C for 2 h in a constant temperature shaker to complete the click reaction of protein-probe complex with fluorescent group TAMRA-N3. Add 1 mL pre-cooled methanol and place the sample at -20°C for more than 30 min (or overnight) to precipitate the protein. Then place the sample in a high-speed centrifuge at 4°C, 14000 rpm, and centrifuge at low temperature and high speed for 15 min. Discard the supernatant and invert the sample tube to dry the protein. Then add 40 μL 1x SDS loading buffer, and sonicate the sample in an ultrasonic cleaner for a few minutes to promote protein dissolution, then heat at 95°C for 15 min. After high-speed centrifugation at 14000 rpm for 30 s, take 20 μL sample solution and add it to the gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE, 10% separation gel) sample well, and after electrophoresis at 90V for 30 min, adjust to 110V constant voltage electrophoresis for 60 min. Finally, scan and image using a multifunctional biomolecular imager.
[0209] The results are shown in Table 1: Figure 4 Compound Ml has obvious labeling effect on the cell lysate of MDA-MB-231, Bxpc-3, Daudi, A549 and AGS cells after oxidation induction.
[0210] Example 26 Protein identification analysis of compound Ml on MDA-MB-231 cell lysate
[0211] MDA-MB-231 cells were prepared into cell lysate according to the method in Example 25. The cell lysate was treated with probe M1 (final concentration 100 μM) and reacted at 37°C for 2 h, followed by reaction with NaIO4 (final concentration 500 μM) at 37°C for 4 h. After ultrafiltration through a spin column, the lysate was reacted with Biotin-N3, TBTA, sodium ascorbate, and CuSO4 (final concentrations 100 μM, 100 μM, 1 mM, and 1 mM, respectively) by gentle shaking. Pre-cooled methanol was added, and the mixture was incubated at -20°C for 2 h. Subsequently, the precipitated protein was collected, centrifuged, and dissolved. After incubation with streptavidin beads at room temperature for 2 hours, the protein was washed with 1% SDS and PBS. The beads were suspended in 500 μL of 6M urea PBS, and 25 μL of 200 mM DTT and 25 μL of 25 mM NH4HCO3 were added. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 30 min. Add 25 μL of 500 mM IAA and incubate in the dark at room temperature for 30 min. Then remove the supernatant and wash the beads with 1 ml of PB. Add 150 μL of 2M urea, 1 mM CaCl2 and 1 μL of trypsin (1 μg / μL) to 50 mM NH4HCO3, incubate overnight at 37°C, desalt on a C18 column, and analyze by LC-MS / MS.
[0212] Jie Ruru Figure 5 As shown, probe M1 bound to a total of 43 highly reliable target proteins. Among these 43 highly reliable proteins, three proteins belonging to the eukaryotic mitochondrial porin family were successfully targeted: voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1 (VDAC1), voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1 (VDAC2), and voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1 (VDAC3). VDACs play a central role in cell lifespan and apoptosis. VDACs are expressed at higher levels in cancer cells than in normal cells, thus making them potential targets for cancer chemotherapy.
[0213] Example 27 Target Validation by Drop-down / Western Blotting
[0214] To confirm the target proteins that probe M1 binds to, VDAC1, BIP (Endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BIP), PLK1 (Serine / threonine-protein kinase PLK1) were selected for Pull-down / WB experiment verification in this example.
[0215] MDA-MB-231 cells were prepared into cell lysate according to the method in Example 25, and the cell lysate was treated with probe M1 (final concentration 100 μM), and reacted at 37°C for 2 h, and then reacted with NaIO4 (final concentration 500 μM) at 37°C for 4 h. After filtration by ultrafiltration membrane spin column, fresh pre-mixed click chemistry mixture (100 μM biotin-N3 from 10 mM DMSO stock solution, 100 μM TBTA from 10 mM freshly prepared DMSO stock solution, 2 mM sodium ascorbate from 200 mM freshly prepared deionized water stock solution, 1 mM CuSO4 from 100 mM freshly prepared deionized water stock solution) was added. The reaction was further incubated for 2 hours under gentle mixing before the addition of pre-cooled methanol (-20°C) for precipitation. The precipitated protein was then collected by centrifugation (14000 rpm x 10 min, 4°C), and dissolved in PBS containing 1% SDS. After incubation with streptavidin beads for 4 hours at room temperature, the beads were washed with PBS containing 1% SDS (3 x 1 mL) and PBS (3 x 1 mL), respectively. 50 μL (2 x) SDS loading buffer was added and heated at 95°C for 30 minutes, and the sample was separated by SDS-PAGE (12% gel), and the target protein was verified by standard Western blotting method.
[0216] As shown in Figure 6 , probe M1 induced by NaIO4 oxidation can successfully pull down VDAC1, BIP and PLK1 in MDA-MB-231 cell lysate, while probe M1 without NaIO4 oxidation induction cannot produce labeled pull-down. This shows that VDAC1, BIP and PLK1 are indeed the target proteins of probe M1, and also shows that M1 can bind to target proteins through oxidation induction strategy, and the oxidation induction strategy can successfully label proteins at the lysate level.
[0217] Example 28 Modification site analysis of compound M1 on HEK293T cell lysate
[0218] (1) Preparation of cell lysate: discard the culture medium of HEK293T cells grown to 90% in a 10 cm culture dish, add 2 mL of PBS to the cell wall to wash the cells, repeat the washing twice. Centrifuge the cells at 1000 rpm for 3 min to collect the cells, add 1 mL of PBS to gently shake the cells, resuspend the cells in PBS, and place the sample tube in an ice box. Ultrasonic cell disrupter is set at 3 s on and 3 s off, power 15%, and ultrasonic time 3 min. After ultrasonic, the sample is centrifuged at high speed in a high-speed centrifuge at 4°C and 14000 rpm for 15 min. The supernatant obtained is the cell lysate.
[0219] (2) Probe and oxidation incubation: The prepared cell lysate is divided into two equal parts, each 500 μL, and 5 μL of 10 mM probe M1 is added to each part, and incubated in a constant temperature homogenizer at 37°C for 2 h. Add 5 μL of 50 mM oxidant NaIO4 solution and oxidize for 4 h.
[0220] (3) Alkylation: Add 12.5 μL of DTT stock solution and incubate at 75°C for 30 min. Add 25 μL of IAA stock solution and incubate in the dark for 30 min.
[0221] (4) Protein precipitation and trypsin digestion: Add 540 μL of MeOH and 135 μL of CH3Cl, mix well and stand at -20°C for 30 min. Centrifuge at 1700 g for 20 min, discard the supernatant, and place the sample tube in a 37°C constant temperature homogenizer for a few minutes to dry the protein. Add 400 μL of (NH4)2CO3 solution, place the sample in an ice box, and ultrasonic for 6-15 s until the protein is fully suspended in the solution. Add 5 μL of trypsin and incubate at 37°C in a constant temperature homogenizer for 12 h. Add 2 μL of trypsin and continue to incubate at 37°C in a constant temperature homogenizer for 2 h. High-speed centrifuge at 14000 g for 5 min, and dry the supernatant in a high-temperature vacuum dryer to obtain 200 μL of polypeptide sample.
[0222] (5) Desalination: Activate the HLB SPE chromatographic column with 1 mL of HPLC-acetonitrile and 2 mL of HPLC-H2O, add 200 μL of polypeptide sample and desalt with 1 mL of HPLC-H2O, and finally elute the polypeptide with HLB-A reagent. Dry the polypeptide eluate in a vacuum centrifuge at 45°C until completely dry.
[0223] (6) Click reaction: each polypeptide sample was mixed with 20 μL HPLC-H20 and 10 μL HPLC acetonitrile. One sample was added with 1 μL Light Az-UV-Biotin stock solution, 4 μL sodium ascorbate, 1 μL TBTA and 4 μL CuSO4, respectively. Another sample was added with 1 μL Heavy Az-UV-Biotin stock solution, 4 μL sodium ascorbate, 1 μL TBTA and 4 μL CuSO4, respectively. The samples were incubated at 37 °C for 2 h in the dark, mixed with 120 μL streptavidin binding buffer, and centrifuged at 14,000 g for 5 min. The supernatants of the two samples were combined and transferred to a new sample tube.
[0224] (7) Enrichment of protein: 100 μL streptavidin beads were washed twice with 1 mL streptavidin binding buffer by gentle shaking and centrifugation at 1,700 g for 3 min. The combined sample and washed beads were added to 10 mL streptavidin binding buffer, and incubated at room temperature for 2 h in the dark.
[0225] (8) Washing of beads: the beads were centrifuged at 1,700 g for 3 min, and the supernatant was discarded. 10 mL streptavidin binding buffer was added, and the sample was gently inverted for 5 min before centrifugation. The above step was repeated twice. 10 mL streptavidin washing buffer was added, and the sample was gently inverted for 5 min before centrifugation. The above step was repeated twice. 1.2 mL light release buffer was added, and the beads were dispersed in the solution by gentle shaking. The sample tube was placed under a 365 nm UV light for 2 h. The sample was centrifuged at 2,000 g for 4 min, and the supernatant was concentrated to 200 μL by a vacuum centrifuge.
[0226] (9) Desalting and sample preparation: an HLB SPE column was activated with 1 mL HPLC-acetonitrile and 2 mL HPLC-H20. 200 μL polypeptide sample was added and desalted with 1 mL HPLC-H20. Finally, HLB-A reagent was added to elute the polypeptide. The polypeptide eluate was dried to completion by a vacuum centrifuge at 45 °C. The dried polypeptide was dissolved in 12 μL 0.1% formic acid by ultrasonic for several minutes. The sample was centrifuged at 14,000 g for 15 min, and 10 μL supernatant was used for LC-MS / MS test.
[0227] The results are shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Table 1-Table 2: The binding site heat map of probe M1 in the lysate of HEK293T cells Figure 7 shows that probe M1 only has modification on K, and the selectivity is between 0.8-1, indicating that the binding of probe M1 to lysine residues has high selectivity. The binding site selectivity and analysis effectiveness of probe M1 are shown in the Venn diagram Figure 7The B) in the figure shows that the selectivity of probe M1 to lysine is more than 90% and the profiling efficiency is also more than 90%, and the high profiling efficiency also indicates the high accuracy of the analysis data.
[0228] In addition, the proteins and specific sites bound by probe M1 were analyzed by proteomics analysis software pFind, and the results showed that probe M1 hit a total of 7241 lysines Figure 8 ), most of which were not annotated, and 662 lysines were annotated as functional lysines. Most of these functional lysines were post-translational modification lysines, and about 7% of the sites were binding sites. These functional binding sites include ATP binding sites, GTP binding sites, NADP + binding sites, CoA binding sites, Mn 2+ binding sites, 3', 5'-cyclic AMP binding sites (Table 1), indicating that M1 can enter the pockets of various proteins, and widely enter the binding pockets of various proteins and bind to the active sites. Compared with more than 3000 lysines identified by STP lysine probe reported by Hacker et al., about 6500 lysine sites identified by M1 are not bound by STP, and M1 has a significant complementary effect on identifying lysines in proteome.
[0229] M1 identified 2499 different proteins, of which 101 proteins were included in Drugbank, and most of the proteins identified by M1 were not in Drugbank. These proteins show a more extensive class distribution than the smaller part of DrugBank proteins containing ligand lysine, which are mainly enzymes. Non-DrugBank proteins with ligand lysine include transcription factors and scaffold proteins that are considered difficult to target with small molecules.
[0230] Among the annotated sites hit by M1 (Table 2), DDX6_K141, DTYMK_K19, ALDH18A1_K311, HSP17B12_K72, CDK2_K129, and MTHFD1_K56 are functional sites of the corresponding proteins, which can affect the function of the protein.
[0231] In summary, the simple structure of M1 allows it to easily enter the binding pockets of various proteins and bind to proteins that are difficult to target, identify their unexplored lysine residues, and facilitate a deeper understanding of protein conserved lysine and the development of covalent inhibitors targeting lysine.

[0236] Example 29 Site validation by site mutation and pull-down / western blot
[0237] Wild / mutant proteins were expressed in HEK293T cells, cell lysate was prepared according to the method of Example 28, and the cell lysate was treated with probe M1 (final concentration 100 μΜ) and reacted at 37 °C for 2 h, then reacted with NaIO4 (final concentration 500 μΜ) at 37 °C for 4 h. After filtration by ultrafiltration membrane spin column, fresh pre-mixed click chemistry mixture (100 μΜ biotin-N3, 100 μΜ TBTA, 2 mM sodium ascorbate, 1 mM CuSO4) was added. Before adding pre-cooled methanol (-20 °C) for precipitation, the reaction was further incubated for 2 hours under gentle mixing. Subsequently, the precipitated protein was collected by centrifugation (14000 rpm x 10 min, 4 °C), and dissolved in PBS containing 1% SDS. After incubation with streptavidin beads at room temperature for 4 hours, the beads were washed with PBS containing 1% SDS (3 x 1 mL) and PBS (3 x 1 mL), respectively. 50 μL (2 x) SDS loading buffer was added and heated at 95 °C for 30 min, and the sample was separated by SDS-PAGE, and the target protein was verified by standard western blot method.
[0238] The results are shown in Figure 9 Figure 6. After mutation of PGK1_K131, PGK_K323 and CDK5_K33 to arginine, the labeling of the corresponding proteins by probe M1 was significantly reduced, indicating that the nitrosyl carbonyl intermediate generated after oxidation of probe M1 can effectively label lysine residues in the whole proteome.
[0239] Example 30 Protein labeling of probe EH1 / EH2 in H3255 cell lysate
[0240] According to the experimental method of Example 25, H3255 lysate was treated with 100 μΜ probe EH1 or EH2 for 2 h, 5 x NaIO4 oxidation for 4 h, and then filtered to remove the oxidant and perform click reaction, followed by fluorescence scanning imaging.
[0241] The results are shown in Figure 10 Figure 7. Among the two probes, EH1 has a stronger labeling effect.
[0242] Example 31 Protein identification and Pull-down / WB experiment of probe EH1 in H3255 cell lysate
[0243] This example identified the target proteins labeled by probe EH1, and the experimental method referred to Examples 26 and 27.
[0244] The results (Table 3) showed that some of the proteins hit by EH1 were kinases, including AURKA (Aurora kinase A), PAK1 (Serine / threonine protein kinase PAK1), CDK1 (Cyclin-dependent kinase 1), etc.
[0245] The results of the Pull-down / WB experiment ( Figure 11 ) showed that EH1 had no obvious labeling effect on EGFR without the addition of NaIO4 oxidation induction; while after NaIO4 oxidation, EH1 could successfully label and pull down EGFR. This indicated that after oxidation induction, EH1 could covalently bind and pull down EGFR.

[0249] Example 32 Inhibition activity test of probes EH1 / EH2 on EGFR kinase
[0250] Z'-LYTE TM The inhibition of the probes on EGFR kinase was tested by the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method, and the parent inhibitors were used as control compounds. Z'-LYTE TM The biochemical assay used a FRET-based coupled enzyme format based on the differential sensitivity of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptides to proteolytic cleavage. The peptide substrate was labeled with two fluorophores - one at each end - to form a FRET pair. Compounds were tested at 5.1 x 10 -9 M diluted three times to 1 x 10 -4 M. The plates were measured on an EnVision Multilabel Reader (Perkin Elmer). Curve fitting and data presentation were performed using Graph Pad Prism version 4.0.
[0251] The results are as follows Figure 12As shown, probe EH1 exhibited a superior inhibitory effect (IC50 ≈ 2.3 nM) against the EGFR (L858R) mutant compared to Erlotinib (IC50 ≈ 3.9 nM); probe EH2 showed a comparable inhibitory effect (IC50 ≈ 3.3 nM) against the EGFR (L858R) mutant to Erlotinib. This indicates that the addition of the hydroxamic acid group to the Erlotinib core preserves the inhibitory activity of the parent compound against EGFR kinase, and because EH1 has a better covalent binding effect to EGFR kinase, it can further enhance the inhibitory effect of EH1 on EGFR and its mutants.
[0252] Example 32: Labeling and Site Identification of Probe EH1 at the Pure Protein Level
[0253] AURKA was identified in H3255 lysis buffer using EH1. This example verifies the binding of EH1 to AURKA. The AURKA protein was labeled with 1 μM and 10 μM EH1 (5×NaIO4) according to the method of Scheme B in Example 22.
[0254] result( Figure 13 The results showed that EH1 could label AURKA protein at concentrations as low as 1 μM, and produced a strong label at 10 μM, confirming the binding of EH1 to AURKA.
[0255] Furthermore, in order to determine the binding site of EH1 to AURKA and to explore whether EH1 can be used to analyze the conserved lysine sites of AURKA, this example used 100 μM EH1 (5×NaIO4) and purified AURKA protein for site identification.
[0256] result( Figure 14 The results show that EH1 binds to K258 of AURKA. In AURKA, D256 is labeled as the proton acceptor active site, and E260 and N261 are labeled as ATP binding sites. The K258 identified by EH1 is located in the active pocket formed by AURKA_D256-N261, indicating that EH1 can covalently bind to lysine residues in the active pocket after oxidation.
[0257] Example 33: Protein Identification and Verification of XH1 in Cell Lysate
[0258] XH1 is a hydroxamic acid compound obtained by modifying the structure of the broad-spectrum kinase ligand XO44. In this embodiment, the protein identification experiment of XH1 in cell lysate was verified according to the aforementioned method.
[0259] The cells were incubated with probe XH1 (100 μM) in K562, AGS, and MDA-MB-231 cell lysates for 2 hours, oxidized for 4 hours to remove the oxidant NaIO4, and then subjected to a click reaction for 2 hours, followed by fluorescence scanning imaging.
[0260] result( Figure 15 A) shows that XH1 can indeed produce a mark after oxidation.
[0261] Pull-down / LC-MS / MS experiment (probe concentration selected as 100 μM) results ( Figure 15 B) shows that among the identified proteins, probe XH1 identified 75, 31, and 39 different protein kinases in K562, AGS, and MDA-MB-231 cell lysates, respectively, demonstrating the probe's broad binding ability to protein kinases. Furthermore, XH1 identified 73 unique kinases, highlighting the uniqueness of XH1 at the kinase binding level and its potential to expand our coverage of kinases.
[0262] Analysis of the identified proteins revealed the presence of CDK family kinases such as CDK1, CDK2, CDK6, and CDK9, indicating that these probes possess good labeling capabilities for CDK family kinases. CDK1 plays a crucial role in the eukaryotic cell cycle by regulating the centrosome cycle and mitosis initiation; CDK1 can also promote the G2-M transition and regulate G1 progression and G1-S transition by binding to multiple interphase cyclins; abnormal CDKs can lead to cell proliferation, genomic and chromosomal instability, thereby contributing to the development, progression, and invasiveness of human cancers. Therefore, CDKs could serve as a novel and effective target for cancer treatment.
[0263] This embodiment further confirmed the binding of XH1 to the target proteins AURKA and SRC using a pure protein labeling experiment, and further confirmed the successful binding of XH1 to the target protein CDK1 using a pull-down / WB experiment. Figure 16 These experimental results demonstrate that the oxidative induction strategy following the integration of hydroxamic acid groups with the backbone of a broad-spectrum kinase inhibitor allows for the analysis of kinases throughout the entire proteome, thereby providing a global map of ligand-catalyzed lysines within the kinaseome.
[0264] Example 34 Cell proliferation inhibition rate test
[0265] 96-well plates were seeded with 8000-10000 cells per well (MDA-MB-231 seeding density was 8000 / well, Daudi, K562 cells seeding density was 10000 / well), and incubated in 37°C incubator for 24 hours. Fragment compounds M3-M19 (final concentration 5 μM) were added to each well, each sample well was set up a duplicate well, the last column was a cell-free blank control, and incubated for 48 hours. 30 μL CCK8 reagent was added to each well, and incubated for 4 hours. The 96-well plates were placed on the plate reader of the microplate reader to measure the absorbance at 450 nm and 650 nm (Synergy HI), and the cell growth inhibition rate VR = (A-A0) / (As-A0) x 100% was calculated, wherein A was the absorbance value of the experimental group (containing cells and fragments), As was the absorbance value of the control group (containing cells and DMSO), and A0 represented the absorbance value of the blank group (without cells). Finally, the software Graphpad Pris was used to calculate the cell growth inhibition rate and plot the graph.
[0266] The results are shown in Table 1: Figure 17 The proliferation inhibition activity of the compound on Daudi cells was better than that on MDA-MB-231 and K562 cells.
