Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly relates to a dual-target conjugate synthesized based on a PARP1 inhibitor and Rigosertib, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most malignant tumors worldwide. To date, there are numerous treatment strategies for BC, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy. However, the cure rates of both early and advanced BC remain unsatisfactory. In addition, triple-negative cancer (TNBC), characterized by negative expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein (HER-2), is one of the most aggressive subtypes of BC. Therefore, its complex pathological characteristics determine that TNBC is insensitive to the above-mentioned therapies, resulting in low survival rates and high morbidity in TNBC patients. Currently, the treatment of TNBC is limited to traditional chemotherapy, but this approach cannot eliminate the disease or avoid the systemic toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs. Therefore, the development of new and potent targeted drugs to treat TNBC is urgent.
[0003] BRCA1 and BRCA2 proteins play important roles in homologous recombination (HR) repair and double-strand break (DSBs) repair. However, BRCA1 / 2 deletion or mutation in TNBC inactivates HR and makes HR dependent on poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) to complete DNA repair. Therefore, TNBC patients with BRCA mutations or HR repair defects can benefit from PARP1 inhibitors. To date, the reported PARP inhibitors (PARPis), such as Olaparib (Ola), Niraparib and Fluzoparib, have shown significant therapeutic effects on TNBC patients with BRCA mutations. However, about 80% of TNBC patients do not have BRCA mutations, which cannot benefit from the synthetic lethal strategy, limiting the further application of PARPis. Drug combination strategies can enhance the anti-cancer efficacy of PARPis by using two or more drugs, but this strategy is often limited by drug dosage uncertainty, pharmacokinetics complexity or unpredictable drug interactions. Another strategy is to conjugate the pharmacophore of PARPis with other targeted drugs to construct multi-target drugs. Recently, a large number of multi-target molecules have been reported, such as dual PARP and CDK6 inhibitors, dual PARP and EZH2 inhibitors, dual PARP and PI3K inhibitors, etc. These multi-target molecules are more potent than PARPis in inhibiting BRCA wild-type TNBC in vitro and in vivo. Obviously, the development of multi-target molecules based on PARPis provides a method for treating BRCA wild-type TNBC.
[0004] The RAS / RAF / MEK / ERK mitogen-activated signaling cascade pathway plays a crucial role in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, and is highly expressed in many aggressive cancers, including TNBC. Therefore, disrupting the signal transduction between RAS proteins and downstream effectors may help develop new anti-TNBC drugs. A RAS analog (Rigosertib) has been reported, which can effectively block the downstream signaling pathways regulated by RAS and exert anti-cancer effects. In addition, these studies have shown that Rigosertib exhibits strong anti-proliferative efficacy in BRCA wild-type cancer cell lines (such as MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and SKOV-3). Therefore, it is attractive to construct multi-target molecules based on Rigosertib and provide ideas for the design of some anti-TNBC drugs.
[0005] Based on this, the inventors combined the pharmacophores of Ola and Rigosertib in one molecule to design and synthesize an anti-TNBC candidate. Subsequently, relevant biological tests were performed to verify whether the obtained compound exerts anti-cancer effects through a multifunctional mechanism.
[0006] Summary of the invention

Good results have been achieved in the test of anti-BRCA wild-type triple-negative breast cancer, and can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

Example 4 In vitro cytotoxicity assay: Experimental method: All test cells were seeded into 96-well plates and treated with different compounds for 72 hours. Before the experiment, the test compounds were dissolved in DMSO and diluted to the required concentration with PBS. After incubation, 20 μL of MTT (5 mg / mL) was added to each well and incubated for another 4 hours. The formed formazan was further dissolved in 100 μL of DMSO, and the absorbance at 570 nm was recorded by a microplate reader. IC 50 The values were calculated using GraphPad Prism software.
[0036] Experimental results: The in vitro antitumor activity of target compounds 13a to 14c was evaluated by MTT assay using BRCA1 mutant breast cancer cell lines (HCC1937, MDA-MB-436) and BRCA wild-type TNBC cell lines (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468). The human normal breast cell line (MCF-10A) was selected to study its potential cytotoxicity to normal tissue cells. After 72 h of incubation, the cytotoxicity of the tested compounds is listed in Table 1. Olaparib showed strong antiproliferative activity against BRCA-deficient cells, with an IC of 1.54 in HCC1937. 50 The value is 5.37 μM, and the IC 50 was 4.25 μM; however, it showed moderate inhibitory activity in BRCA wild-type cells. The IC 50 The value is 25.46 μM, and the IC of MDA-MB-468 50 The value was 14.76 μM. The effects of compounds 13a~14c on these TNBC cells (IC 50 values ranged from 0.75 to 4.85 μM) were greater than Ola (IC 50 The values ranged from 4.25 to 25.46 μM), indicating that 13a~13c showed strong antiproliferative activity against both BRCA wild-type and BRCA1-deficient breast cancer cells. In particular, 13b showed significant cell activity in MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, HCC1937, and MDA-MB-436, with IC 50The values were 0.75, 1.24, 1.7 and 0.97 μM, respectively, and were more effective than Ola. In addition, the physical mixture of 3 and 11b also showed enhanced cellular activity against the tested cancer cells compared with Ola. In addition, the potential toxicity results against the human normal breast cell line MCF-10A showed that all tested compounds had good safety at the cellular level.

Example 5 Test of compound activity on PARP1: Experimental Methods: The effect of the test compounds on PARP1 activity was determined by histone-based ELISA assay using the PARP1 Colorimetric Assay Kit (BPS Bioscience, catalog number 80580). The histone mixture was added to a 96-well plate and allowed to adhere overnight, followed by the addition of blocking buffer (200 μL) and washing with PBST. The test compound (25 μL) and PARP enzyme in PARP buffer (20 μL, 1.0 ng / uL) were then added sequentially. After incubation for 60 min at room temperature, the wells were washed twice with PBS, and 20 μL of streptavidin-HRP blocking buffer was added for another 30 min at room temperature. Finally, the wells were washed twice with PBST, and the colorimetric HRP substrate (100 μL / well) was added. After incubation for 20 min, 100 μL of sulfuric acid (2 M) was added to each well. The absorbance at OD450 nm was recorded by a microplate reader, and the IC was calculated by GrapPad Prism software. 50 value.
[0039] Experimental results: With Ola and 3 as controls, the effect of 13b on PARP1 was studied by ELISA. Figure 1 As shown, 13b showed good efficacy against PARP1, with an IC 50 The value was 112.2 nM, which was comparable to Ola (IC50, 39.5 nM) and 3 (IC 50 , 57.2 nM), indicating that 13b inherited the inhibitory activity of Ola on PARP1.
[0040] Example 6 Cell apoptosis test: Experimental method: MDA-MB-231 cells (3.0×10 5Cells were seeded into six-well plates (5 μM cells / well) and allowed to adhere overnight. Cells were then treated with PBS, 11b (5 μM), 3 (5 μM), a mixture (3+13b, 5+5 μM, or 13b (5 μM)) for 24 h. Thereafter, cells were harvested, stained with Annexin V-FITC and PI, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Apoptosis data were analyzed by FlowJo, and representative images of three independent experiments are shown.
[0041] Experimental results: To further determine the effect of compound 13b on cell death, MDA-MB-231 cells were stained with Annexin-V FITC and PI and analyzed by flow cytometry. Figure 2 A, After incubation with 11b (5 μM), 3 (5 μM), mixed groups (3+13b, 5+5 μM, or 13b (5 μM) for 24 h, 5 μM 3, 11b, mixed groups, or 13b induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells, with apoptosis values of 21.14%, 31.1%, 43.94%, and 48.26%, respectively. It is worth noting that 13b induced the highest apoptosis rate, which was about 2.3 or 1.6 times higher than 3 and 11b, but only about 1.1 times higher than the mixture ( Figure 2 B). In conclusion, 13b has a great potency in inducing apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells compared with monotherapy or combination therapy, which may be partly attributed to its strong anticancer ability.
[0042] Example 7 DNA Comet Assay: Experimental method: MDA-MB-231 cells (3.0×10 5 Cells were seeded into six-well plates (5 μM cells / well) and allowed to adhere overnight. Cells were then treated with PBS, 11b (5 μM), 3 (5 μM), a mixture (3+11b, 5+5 μM, or 13b (5 μM)) for 24 h. Thereafter, cells were collected and processed according to the instructions of the Comet Assay Kit (Beyotime, C2041S), and DNA images were recorded by laser confocal microscopy. The experimental results are representative images of three independent experiments.
[0043] Experimental results: Figure 2 A, After 24 h of treatment with 3 (5 μM), cells were collected for DNA electrophoresis analysis, and cells treated with 11b (5 μM), mixed groups (3+11b, 5+5 μM, or 13b (5 μM) were used as controls. Figure 2As shown in B, cells treated with 3 showed a modest increase in comet-like tails compared to untreated cells, indicating that single treatment with 3 did not significantly induce severe DNA damage in MDA-MB-231 cells. However, treatment with 11b resulted in a 1.7-fold increase in comet-like tails compared to 3, indicating that 11b was more potent than 3 in inducing DNA damage ( Figure 3 ). In general, the length of the comet tail is positively correlated with DNA damage. In addition, the results of the comet assay showed that the comet-like tails of the mixed group and 13b were 2.4 and 6.2 times higher than those of 3, respectively. The study showed that both the mixed group and 13b induced more severe DNA damage than 3 or 11b, which was beneficial to their anticancer activity.
[0044] Example 8 Detection of related protein expression in RAS-RAF pathway: Experimental methods: MDA-MB-231 cells (3.0×105 cells / well) were seeded into six-well plates and allowed to adhere overnight. The cells were then treated with PBS, 11b (5 μM), 3 (5 μM), a mixture (3+11b, 5+5 μM, or 13b (5 μM) for 24 h. Thereafter, the cells were collected and lysed with cell lysis buffer. The concentration of total protein was determined by BCA protein assay kit (P0010S), and equal amounts of total protein were separated by SDS-PAGE gel. Afterwards, the tested proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, blocked with 5% skim milk powder, and labeled with the designated primary antibodies and horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibodies.
[0045] Experimental results: Blocking the signaling cascade between RAF and RAF can effectively interfere with the expression of its downstream effectors, including the phosphorylation of MEK and ERK. Considering the importance of the MAPK pathway in regulating the biological activity of cancer cells, we examined the effect of 13b on the expression levels of key proteins involved in the MAPK pathway. Figure 4 The results showed that 11b had no significant effect on the expression level of RAS in MDA-MB-231 cells, but it could effectively reduce the expression level of CRAF compared with the untreated group, which may benefit from Rigosertib. In addition, 3 had no activity on the expression levels of RAS and CRAF, indicating that 3 is not an inhibitor or activator of these proteins. The mixed group (3+11b) or 13b significantly inhibited the expression of CRAF protein, but had little effect on RAS protein. Figure 3As shown in A and B, 11b treatment for 24 h significantly reduced the phosphorylation of MEK and ERK 1 / 2 (p-MEK, p-ERK1 / 2) compared with untreated cells, but had no significant effect on the expression of total MEK or ERK 1 / 2. As mentioned above, 3 had no significant activity on p-MEK and p-ERK1 / 2, but its activity was enhanced when it was combined with 11b or combined with 11b into one entity. Taken together, these findings suggest that 13b can interfere with signal transduction in the MAPK pathway, thereby providing powerful anticancer activity.
[0046] Example 9 Detection of related protein expression in mitochondrial apoptosis pathway: Experimental method: Same as Example 8 Experimental results: Mitochondria play a vital role in maintaining cell homeostasis. In order to study the effect of 13b on the mitochondrial apoptosis signaling pathway, Western blot analysis of apoptosis-related proteins was performed. MDA-MB-231 cells were incubated with 13b (5 μM) for 24 h and collected for Western blot analysis. 3 (5 μM), 11b (5 μM) and mixed groups (3+11b, 5+5 μM") were used as controls ( Figure 5 A and B). In general, the Bcl-2 family (such as Bax and Bcl-2) is important for high mitochondrial membrane potential, however, 24 h treatment with 3, 11b, mixed group (3+11b), or 13b significantly altered the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in MDA-MB-231 cells compared with the control group, showing upregulation of Bax and downregulation of Bcl-2. In addition, compared with the untreated group or the 3-treated group, 11b, mixed group (3+11b), and 13b effectively promoted the expression level of cleaved PARP in MDA-MB-231 cells, indicating that 11b, mixed group, and 13b were more potent than 3 in inducing DNA damage. In addition, the changes in Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved PARP promoted the release of cytoplasmic Cyt c and initiated the caspase cascade pathway, which was conducive to cell apoptosis. In summary, these results indicate that 13b activates the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis pathway and induces apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells.
[0047] Example 10 In vivo anti-tumor effect detection: Experimental method: MDA-MB-231 cells (0.1 mL, 5×10 6 When the tumor volume reached approximately 200 mm 3At the time of the experiment, mice were randomly divided into five groups and intraperitoneally injected with saline, Ola (20 mg / kg), 11b (23 mg / kg), a mixture (Ola+11b, 20+23 mg / kg), or 13b (38 mg / kg) every two days for 28 days. Body weight and tumor volume were measured every two days. After the last dose was completed, the tumor solids were collected and weighed. The tumor volume was obtained by the following formula: V (mm 3 )=L×W 2 / 2, L is the length and W is the width.
[0048] Results: We evaluated the in vivo antitumor efficacy of 13b in MDA-MAB-231 xenografts. 3 Afterwards, 15 BALB / c nude mice were randomly divided into five groups and intraperitoneally injected with saline, Ola (20 mg / kg), 11b (23 mg / kg), mixed groups (Ola+11b, 20+23 mg / kg), or 13b (38 mg / kg). The drugs were administered every two days for 28 days. During the test period, tumor volume and body weight were measured every two days. Figure 6 As shown in A-D, the tumor volume of the control group grew rapidly during treatment, reaching approximately 920 mm3. However, at a dose of 20 mg / kg, Ola showed moderate inhibitory efficacy on the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells, with a tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) of 38.5%. In addition, at the same dose, the anticancer activity of 11b (TGI, 51.8%) was higher than that of Ola. 13b (38 mg / kg) further enhanced the efficacy (TGI, 61.3%), even exceeding the combination group (Ola+11b, 20+23 mg / kg; TGI, 56.7%), which indirectly explains why 13b achieved greater anticancer activity than Ola or 11b monotherapy. In addition, no significant effect on body weight was found between the test group and the control group, indicating that these tested compounds were well tolerated and biocompatible. In summary, these results indicate that 13b shows great potential as a promising candidate for the treatment of MDA-MB-231.
