Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of molecular biology and biomedicine, specifically to a thiazole compound, a deSUMO and / or deubiquitinase inhibitor, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Abnormalities in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway are a significant factor leading to the dysregulation of protein homeostasis. In this process, deubiquitinating enzymes, responsible for removing ubiquitin chains from protein substrates, are crucial. Abnormal activity or expression of these enzymes can cause functional changes in key oncogenic / tumor suppressor proteins, directly or indirectly leading to tumor development and malignant progression. Therefore, the discovery and research of small molecule inhibitors targeting deubiquitinating enzymes has become a hot topic in anti-tumor drug candidate research. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification process involving the attachment of a small protein called SUMC (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier) to a lysine residue of a target protein. This process regulates various important functions in cells, such as protein localization, stability, activity, and participation in signal transduction pathways. SUMOylation is similar to ubiquitination, and it can be reversible; SUMOylation or ubiquitination of proteins can be removed by specific deSUMOylating or deubiquitinating enzymes, restoring the protein to its unmodified state. DESI2 (desumoylating isopeptidase 2) is a novel gene obtained through large-scale sequencing, possessing both deSUMOylating and deubiquitinating enzyme activities. Specifically, DESI2 has been shown to achieve Lys48 and Lys63-specific deubiquitinating enzyme activity. Reports indicate that the DESI2 gene interacts with the AKT / mTOR signaling pathway, further influencing tumor cell proliferation; however, its mechanism of action remains unclear.
[0003] Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) plays a crucial role in hematopoietic regulation and is essential for the signaling of hematopoietic receptors. The JAK2-V617F mutation, leading to constitutive kinase activation, is the most common genetic event in myeloporotic neoplasms (MPNs). It is present in over 95% of polycythemia vera (PV) and approximately 50% of essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) cases. A percentage of MPN patients progress to secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML), characterized by significant genetic heterogeneity. This heterogeneity makes sAML insensitive to conventional chemotherapy, lacking effective treatment options and associated with poor prognosis and high relapse rates. Currently, despite advances in understanding pathogenesis and the availability of new therapies (e.g., hematopoietic stem cell transplantation), the 5-year overall survival rate for patients with secondary AML remains below 30%. JAK1 / 2 kinase inhibitors (e.g., ruxolitinib) have shown clinical benefit as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy. However, their clinical application is limited by their cytotoxicity to normal cells due to inhibition of wild-type (wt) JAK2. Furthermore, long-term treatment with JAK2 kinase inhibitors can lead to inhibitor-resistant cells, as the JAK2 pathway is reactivated via a JAK2-dependent heterodimer complex, which resists inhibitors and leads to the accumulation of phosphorylated JAK2, further activating downstream proliferation signaling. Therefore, developing a novel strategy to target and degrade mutant JAK2 using intracellular degradation mechanisms could provide greater clinical benefit to patients.
[0004] This patented technology research revealed that the de-SUMOylating and deubiquitinating enzyme DESI2 is a key factor regulating the stability of the JAK2-V617F protein. DESI2 is highly expressed in hematologic malignancies such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), MPN, and AML, and also highly expressed in various malignant solid tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), low-grade glioma (LGG), pancreatic cancer (PAAD), and renal cancer. However, it is not expressed or is expressed at low levels in major organs, suggesting the therapeutic potential of DESI2 inhibitors and the possibility that they may not cause serious complications. Currently, there are no marketed drugs targeting DESI2. Summary of the Invention

[0075] This specific embodiment also proposes the use of one or more of the above-mentioned thiazole compounds, or one or more of the thiazole compounds obtained by the above-mentioned synthesis method, in the preparation of drugs for inhibiting tumor cells.
[0076] This invention, through extensive and in-depth research, has discovered that deSUMOylases and deubiquitinates significantly affect the stability of JAK2 protein and its V617F mutant form, which are highly expressed in hematological malignancies. Biochemical, cell biological, clinical database analyses, primary patient sample testing, and various in vivo animal model experiments were conducted on DESI2 deSUMOylases and their inhibitors, and this invention was completed based on these findings. In the following examples, unless otherwise stated, reagents were obtained from commercial suppliers (e.g., Aldrich Chemical, Biotech, or TCI) and used without further purification.
[0077] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0078] The following describes embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. Where specific techniques or conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they are performed according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in this field or according to the product instructions. Reagents or instruments used, unless otherwise specified, are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially.
[0079] Hematologic malignancies are among the most common types of cancer. Despite significant advancements in modern medicine, the survival rate and quality of life for patients with hematologic malignancies remain poor. The V617F mutation, leading to constitutive activation of the non-receptor tyrosine kinase JAK2, is the most common malignant event in multiple myeloma (MPN). AML secondary to MPN is genetically heterogeneous and insensitive to traditional chemotherapy drugs, resulting in a long-term lack of effective treatments and a poor prognosis. Existing JAK1 / 2 kinase inhibitors such as ruxolitinib offer clinical benefits, but the toxicity of inhibiting wild-type JAK2 to normal cells limits their clinical application, and small-molecule inhibition of JAK2 kinase activity easily leads to drug resistance. In recent years, increasing research has shown that epigenetic modifications such as ubiquitination and SUMOylation are important factors regulating protein stability. Therefore, discovering new epigenetic modifiers and utilizing the body's own protein degradation system to target and degrade mutant-activated JAK2 is a novel strategy to improve safety and overcome inhibitor resistance. Based on this, the following series of studies are proposed.
[0080] Due to limited existing research on the mechanism of DESI2, we first conducted an in-depth study on its mechanism of action, determining that DESI2 maintains the stability of the JAK2-V617F protein through de-SUMOylation and deubiquitination. Furthermore, by constructing DESI2 knockout cell lines and xenograft tumor models, we verified the effect of DESI2 on the in vivo proliferation of JAK2-V617F-driven leukemia cells. Based on this, we first designed and synthesized a series of novel DESI2 inhibitors and tested their degradation ability against JAK2-V617F. Based on this degradation effect, we continuously modified the compounds to obtain those with optimal activity.
[0081] Next, we used pure enzyme activity assays to test the effects of a series of thiazole derivative DESI2 inhibitors and the optimal compound on DESI2 enzyme activity and IC50. 50 We also compared the degradation effect of the optimal compound on JAK2-V617F in cell lines before and after DESI2 knockout. Including this assay helps eliminate false positive results due to off-target effects or toxicity. More importantly, we also tested the anti-proliferative effects of representative DESI2 inhibitors, 03-012, on various DESI2-overexpressing and prognostic solid tumors, demonstrating the wide range of applications for DESI2 inhibitors.
[0082] Furthermore, we examined the therapeutic effects of the optimal DESI2 inhibitor compound on primary cells from clinical patients and mouse xenograft tumor models. This allows for preliminary assessment of the compound's clinical potential before formal clinical trials. This newly introduced technique not only addresses the issue of differences between cell lines and real-world clinical settings but also, combined with the aforementioned improvements and adjustments, further enhances the likelihood of the compound's clinical application.
[0083] Example 1. DESI2 is a novel epigenetic modifier of JAK2-V617F that directly interacts with JAK2.
[0084] To identify epigenetic modifiers affecting the stability of JAK2-V617F protein, we first overexpressed JAK2-V617F in HEK293T cells. After 48 hours, cells were collected, and JAK2 antibody was added to the cell lysis buffer, followed by overnight incubation at 4°C. Protein A / G magnetic beads were then added to the cell lysis buffer to enrich JAK2 protein. 2× protein loading was added, and the mixture was incubated at 95°C for 8 minutes to dissociate the protein from the magnetic beads. The prepared samples were separated by SDS-PAGE, and silver staining was used to preliminarily determine whether the target band was successfully enriched. After excising the target band, the protein was detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in Figure A, after enriching JAK2 protein using immunoprecipitation (IP), DESI2 was simultaneously enriched as the most abundant peptide (Top 1) with high strength and confidence. This result indicates a direct binding between DESI2 and JAK2, potentially representing a novel component of the JAK2 complex.
[0085] To further confirm this binding, we performed Western blot (WB) assays on the IP-treated samples. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in Figure B: In cell lines overexpressing JAK2-V617F, endogenous DESI2 was significantly enriched after IP administration, and conversely, IP administration of DESI2 also significantly enriched JAK2-V617F protein. Further... Figure 1 In C, in human JAK2-V617F + Endogenous Co-IP experiments were performed in AML cell lines, demonstrating a significant interaction between endogenous DESI2 and JAK2. These results further indicate a binding interaction between DESI2 and JAK2. More importantly, we observed this interaction in human JAK2-V617F... + Endogenous IP and Western blot experiments were performed in (HEL) and JAK2-WT(K562) AML cell lines to detect the binding of DESI2 to JAK2. The results showed that the binding had significant mutation selectivity. Figure 1 D).
[0086] Example 2. DESI2 is highly expressed in hematologic malignancies and various malignant solid tumors, and affects patient prognosis and survival.
[0087] DESI2 is a de-SUMOylating and deubiquitinating enzyme involved in epigenetic modifications, but research on it is currently limited. We first analyzed public clinical bioinformatics databases, revealing high DESI2 expression in various cancer types, particularly hematologic malignancies such as AML, MPN, and DLBCL. A comprehensive analysis of multiple clinical sample databases showed that high DESI2 expression often leads to poorer prognostic survival. Figure 2 and 3 This suggests the potential of DESI2 as a therapeutic target for hematologic malignancies and various solid tumors. Furthermore, we designed experiments to examine the anti-proliferative effects of 03-012 on various DESI2-overexpressing and prognostic-related solid tumors (such as DLBCL, COAD, and PAAD), demonstrating the broad application scenarios of DESI2 inhibitors. Figure 3 E).
[0088] Example 3. Knocking out DESI2 disrupts the proliferation of leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo by degrading JAK2 protein.
[0089] DESI2 possesses both SUMOylase and deubiquitinase activities. To elucidate the effects of DESI2 binding to JAK2, we first knocked down (KD) or knocked out (KO) DESI2 in JAK2-V617F mutant-driven HEL and UKE-1 cell lines. Then, Western blotting was used to detect JAK2 protein levels and proteins related to downstream JAK2 signaling pathways. The results are shown in the figure: both KD and KO-DESI2 significantly downregulated JAK2 protein levels, further affecting the activation of its downstream STAT3 / 5 signaling pathway and significantly inhibiting cell proliferation. Figure 4 A-4D).
[0090] Considering the important role of JAK2 in hematological malignancies, we overexpressed Luciferase in HEL, HEL-SCR, and DESI2 KD HEL cells. The background fluorescence values of the four cell lines showed no significant difference. Figure 4 E). Next, the four cell lines were respectively injected with 1×10 6 Cells were injected into NSG mice via tail vein (n=6), and the body weight, fluorescence value, and survival time of each mouse were recorded regularly. Results showed that the fluorescence value (corresponding to tumor burden) of the KD group was significantly lower than that of the control group, with a significantly prolonged survival time and more stable body weight. Figure 4(F-4I). The above experiments confirm that DESI2 plays an important role in tumor cell proliferation by affecting the stability of JAK2 protein, which further suggests the potential of DESI2 as a therapeutic target for hematological malignancies.
[0091] Example 4. DESI2 mediates the stability of the JAK2 protein by de-SUMOylating and deubiquitinizing the K962 site.
[0092] Next, to investigate the mechanism by which DESI2 stabilizes JAK2 protein, given that DESI2 knockdown significantly reduces JAK2 protein levels, we assessed the JAK2 mRNA level in HEL cells after DESI2 knockdown using q-PCR. The results showed that the JAK2 mRNA level was almost unaffected. Figure 5 A). We further investigated the changes in the half-life of JAK2 protein in the presence of cyclohexylimide (CHX, a protein synthesis inhibitor in eukaryotes). We found that in the KD-DESI2 cell line, CHX treatment significantly shortened the half-life of JAK2 protein. Figure 5 B) This indicates that the DESI2-induced degradation of JAK2 occurs through a post-translational pathway.
[0093] To further investigate the specific stages at which DESI2 affects JAK2 protein stability, the proteasome inhibitor MG132 was applied to DESI2-knockdown cells, and JAK2 protein levels were found to be restored. Figure 5 C). Furthermore, we observed that in DESI2 knockdown cells, both JAK2 polyubiquitination and SUMOylation levels were significantly increased (C). Figure 5 D). To rule out off-target effects, we treated cells with the SUMOylation inhibitor ML-792. The results showed that ML-792 significantly reduced the SUMOylation and ubiquitination levels of JAK2 in SCR cell lines, but had no effect on the SUMOylation and ubiquitination levels of JAK2 after DESI2 knockdown. Figure 5 E).
[0094] Furthermore, the public database (SUMOplot) was modified using LC-MS and SUMOylation. TM Analysis showed that DESI2 may function by de-SUMOylating and deubiquitinizing lysine residues at K962 and K970 sites of JAK2. Figure 5F). We first constructed JAK2 K962A, K970A, and Double Mutant (DM) overexpression plasmids, transfected HEK-293T SCR and DESI2-KD cells, and performed ubiquitin-pulldown assays. The results showed that when the K962 site of JAK2 was mutated, DESI2 knockdown could no longer increase the ubiquitination level of JAK2. Figure 5 These results indicate that DESI2 mediates the stability of the JAK2 protein by SUMOylating the K962 site of JAK2.

[0313] HEL cells were used at a rate of 5 × 10 5 Cells were seeded into each well of a 24-well plate and cultured using 1 ml of culture medium. The compounds were dissolved in pure dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at a stock solution concentration of 10 mM. The DMSO solution was serially diluted three-fold from 10 μM to three different concentrations, with 1 μL added to each well. 1 μL of diluted DMSO solution was added to each negative control well.

[0317] Example 25. Inhibitory level and in vitro functional verification of DESI2 inhibitor on enzyme activity.
[0318] The enzyme activity assay buffer was prepared by adding 40 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 20 mM magnesium chloride (MgCl2), 0.1 mg / ml bovine serum albumin (BSA), and 50 μM dithiothreitol (DTT). The compounds were dissolved in pure DMSO to a stock solution concentration of 10 mM. The DMSO solutions were serially diluted three-fold from 100 μM to a total of six concentrations. Each diluted compound was then diluted 1:20 with the enzyme activity assay buffer, and 1 μL was added to each well, with two replicates per concentration. 1 μL of the 1:20 diluted DMSO solution was added to both the negative and positive control wells. The 2.5× substrate / ATP working solution was prepared by adding 2 μL of the enzyme activity assay buffer and 0.5 μg / μL of the substrate peptide to each well. Prepare a 2.5× enzyme reaction working solution containing 2.5 ng / μl DESI2 recombinant protein enzyme activity test buffer. Add 2 μl of the 2.5× enzyme reaction working solution to each well, and add only 2 μl of enzyme activity test buffer to the negative control well. Seal the plate and centrifuge, then incubate at room temperature for 1 hour. After the reaction, add 5 μl of the detection reagent to each well and incubate at room temperature for 40 minutes. Measure the final luminescence signal. Calculate the average values of the positive and negative wells as the positive control value (Signal) and negative control value (DOS). Calculate the inhibition rate of the working well signal value (Signaltest) according to the formula Inhibition rate = (Signalp.negDOSignal) / (Signal.-Signal.)×100%. Plot the concentration-inhibition rate curve using non-linear fitting in GraphPadtestDOSne8Prism software, and calculate the IC50. 50 and DC 50 value( Figure 6 Compared to its analogues, WWQ-03-012 inhibits DESI2 enzyme activity (IC50). 50 =47.3 nM), enhancing the polyubiquitination level of JAK2 and significantly promoting the degradation of mutant JAK2 protein (DC). 50 =543.6 nM) while having no effect on wild-type protein and blocking its downstream signaling pathways, thereby exerting a higher anti-proliferative efficacy in leukemia cells. Furthermore, our DESI2 knockout experiment ruled out the off-target effects of WWQ-03-012, meaning that its JAK2 degradation activity is dependent on DESI2.
[0319] Example 26. Antiproliferative efficacy of DESI2 inhibitors on primary cells from MPN patients
[0320] Next, we evaluated the growth-inhibitory effects on different preclinical cell models by testing the therapeutic potential of its primary DESI2 inhibitor, WWQ-03-012. Compared with the FDA-approved JAK1 / 2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, WWQ-03-012 significantly inhibited the proliferation of two JAK2-V617F-driven cell lines (HEL and Ba / F3-JAK2-V617F) after 24 or 72 hours of treatment, with little effect on normal human PBMCs. Figure 7 These results (A and 7B) also indicate that our compound is more effective against JAK2 mutant cells. We then compared the therapeutic effect of WWQ-03-012 on three MPN (MPN#1-#3) patient samples after 72 hours of treatment, and the results showed that WWQ-03-012 demonstrated higher potency than Ruxolitinib in preclinical samples. Figure 7 C). Furthermore, we found that WWQ-03-012 was more effective than our previously developed inhibitor XL-106C in two JAK2-V617F-positive MPN patient samples (MPN #4 and #5). These results suggest that blocking DESI2 may be a more effective treatment strategy. Figure 7 D).
[0321] Example 27. Therapeutic effect of DESI2 inhibitor on AML mouse model
[0322] Female NSG mice, approximately 6 weeks old, were selected (purchased from Southern Model Biotechnology). All animals were housed in a designated pathogen-free facility and used in accordance with Tongji University's animal care regulations. In vivo studies were approved by the Tongji University Ethics Committee. 3 × 10⁶ HEL-Luc cells were used. 6 / Injected into mice via tail vein only, when the fluorescence value reaches 5×10 6 Upon successful model establishment, the animals were randomly divided into a blank (solvent) control group, a treatment group, and a positive control group, with 5 mice in each group (n=4 or 5) for efficacy studies. The DESI2 inhibitor was administered via HKI suspension (0.5% methylcellulose / 0.4% Tween 80 dissolved in ddH2O) twice daily via intraperitoneal injection (ip) twice daily (BID). The control group received a specific dose of the solvent via injection. Ruxolitinib (a JAK1 / 2 inhibitor, ip, QD), a marketed drug, was used as the positive control group. Body weight and tumor growth were measured periodically after DESI2 inhibitor administration, with body weight measured every 2 days and fluorescence imaging every 3 days. Results showed that the DESI2 inhibitor 03-012 significantly inhibited tumor cell proliferation in vivo, with effects comparable to the marketed drug Ruxolitinib, and had no significant effect on animal body weight. Figure 8A-8D).
[0323] The compounds involved in this embodiment, including the degradation detection data of compounds in all embodiments, are as follows: Figure 9 As shown, some compounds exhibit good degradation effects on JAK2-V617F, DC 50 Below 1 μM, the ordinate represents the relative protein expression level of JAK2-V617F.
[0324] In summary, the technical solution of this invention first discovers DESI2, a novel regulator of JAK2-V617F protein stability, and verifies its function and mechanism in in vitro and in vivo models. Then, by designing, synthesizing, and improving the structure of DESI2 inhibitors, testing the degradation effect of these compounds on JAK2-V617F protein, and combining this with direct enzyme activity detection, several effective DESI2 inhibitors for degrading JAK2 mutant proteins are provided. The inclusion of primary clinical patient samples and mouse xenograft tumor treatment models indicates the potential of DESI2 inhibitors for clinical application. The combination and synergistic effect of these technical approaches give this invention significant technical advantages.
