Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of chemical drugs, and particularly relates to a BTK protein degrader with a silicon-containing group as a hydrophobic tag, a preparation method, a pharmaceutical composition and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a member of the cytoplasmic non-receptor tyrosine kinase TEC family, which plays an important role in the growth, development, proliferation and differentiation of B cells, and is also a therapeutic target for B cell malignancies. Although the mainstream BTK inhibitors (Ibrutinib, Acalabrutinib, Zanubrutinib) have excellent therapeutic effects in clinical practice, like other targeted drugs, acquired drug resistance is gradually shortening the application range of these molecules, especially the mutation of the key site C481. The development of BTK degraders may be a solution.
[0003] The hydrophobic tag (Hyt) bifunctional molecule is composed of a target protein ligand, a linker and a hydrophobic group. By connecting a large and hydrophobic group to a small molecule that can bind to the target, such a double-headed molecule, after binding to the target, will be mistakenly considered by the intracellular protein repair mechanism as a misfolded part of the target protein, and then it can be folded by chaperone proteins and further degraded by proteasomes. The hydrophobic group in the Hyt molecule is often small in molecular weight, and thus may have higher solubility and drugability. The development of degraders based on hydrophobic tags is still in the exploratory stage. On the one hand, there are fewer reported hydrophobic tag fragments, and there is still a lot of room for optimization in terms of degradation activity and physicochemical properties. On the other hand, the exact degradation mechanism has not been clearly defined. Therefore, exploring more hydrophobic fragments with high activity and excellent physicochemical properties and clarifying their corresponding degradation mechanisms are crucial for the development of hydrophobic tag fragments based on clinical applications.
[0004] The hydrophobic fragments used in the currently reported hydrophobic tag degraders include adamantane, menthol, norbornene, Boc arginine, carborane, fluorenyl, etc. However, these conventional hydrophobic tag degraders have relatively low degradation effect, poor liver microsomal metabolic stability, poor solubility and are difficult to be orally administered, making them difficult to be used for further treatment and development in clinical practice. There is a need for the development of new hydrophobic tag degraders with better liver microsomal stability and oral administration to meet the clinical needs. SUMMARY

[0138] 2) Compound 2 was evaluated for liver microsomal metabolic stability, and non-silicon-containing group hydrophobic tag compound 11 was used as a comparison, and Diclofenac was used as a positive control.
[0139] The specific method for evaluating the stability of liver microsomal metabolism is as follows: the liver microsomes are taken out from the-80°C refrigerator and placed on a 37°C water bath constant temperature oscillator for pre-incubation for 3 min, and then thawed for use. Then a certain amount of NADPH is weighed, and a proper amount of magnesium chloride solution is added to dissolve into a 2 mM solution for use. The incubation system mixture solution (without NADPH) is prepared according to the composition ratio of the experimental incubation system (3 mM MgCl2-PB solution, 1 μM test compound, 0.5 mg / mL liver microsomes), and is divided into 40 μL / tube.
[0140] The 0 min sample is added with 240 μL of internal standard working precipitant, and then 40 μL of NADPH solution (40 μL of magnesium chloride solution is added to the negative control group), and the other samples are added with 40 μL of NADPH solution to start the reaction (40 μL of magnesium chloride solution is added to the negative control group), and then incubated in a 37°C water bath for 5 min, 15 min, 30 min and 60 min, and then 240 μL of internal standard precipitant is added, and 40 μL of NADPH solution is added to the positive control group to start the reaction, and then incubated in a 37°C water bath for 5 min and 15 min, and then 240 μL of internal standard precipitant is added. All the samples are vortexed and centrifuged to take 150 μL of supernatant, and then vortexed after 150 μL of water is added, and then analyzed by LC-MS / MS. It is found by analysis and calculation that compound 2 shows clearance efficiency in two species of humans and mice. And it is significantly stable in the BTK protein degrader comparative example 11 with a non-silicon group as a hydrophobic tag. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0142]
[0143] The oral bioavailability of compound 2 is evaluated.
[0144] The specific method for evaluating the oral bioavailability is as follows: after the rats are fasted overnight, three are orally administered (10 mg / kg), and three are administered via the tail vein (1 mg / kg), and then blood is taken at 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h and 8 h, and then placed in pre-heparin sodium tubes, and then vortexed to mix the blood and heparin sodium, and then centrifuged (4°C, 3000 rpm, 10 min) to obtain plasma, and then 50 μL of the plasma sample is taken, and then 50 μL of diluent (50% methanol / water) and 250 μL of methanol precipitant are added, and then vortexed and centrifuged (4°C, 12000 rpm, 10 min), and then the supernatant is filtered and stored for LC-MS / MS detection. The results (Table 3) show that compound 2 has good oral bioavailability of 17.9%.

[0146]
[0147] From Table 2 and the results of the evaluation test of the oral bioavailability of Compound 2, it can be seen that the present application is optimized in terms of hydrophobic tag type and linker type, and the selected Compound 2 can exert higher metabolic stability and in vivo bioavailability.
[0148] 3) In vivo pharmacodynamics PD experiment was evaluated in a xenograft model, and the mice received a single oral dose of Compound 2 (10 mg / kg). The mice were euthanized at the designated time points (0 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours) after oral administration, and the tumor tissues were harvested for Western blotting analysis. The data are shown in Table 4, and the results show that Compound 2 significantly reduces BTK expression within 6 hours, and the effect lasts up to 48 hours. These findings indicate that the degrading agent 2 can maintain BTK degradation in vivo for a long time.
[0149] Table 4 PD data
[0150]
[0151] 4) In vivo pharmacodynamic evaluation of Compound 2, MOLM-13 cells were selected to establish a xenograft model.
[0152] The specific method is as follows: MOLM-13 cells were injected into NOD / SCID mice. Two days after cell injection, the mice were divided into three groups, Compound 2 oral administration group 1 (5mpk, 6 mice, daily administration), Compound 2 oral administration group 2 (10mpk, 6 mice, daily administration), and control group (6 mice).
[0153] After 18 days, the body weight of the mice in the administration group and the body weight of the mice in the control group did not fluctuate significantly and the mice were not significantly abnormal, indicating that Compound 2 was safe and well tolerated, and the tumor weight and tumor volume of the mice in the administration group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the tumor inhibition rate ((1-administration group tumor weight / control group tumor weight)*100%) is shown in Table 5. The results show that Compound 2 has a strong in vivo therapeutic effect.
