Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of biochemistry, and in particular to a hypoxia-responsive protein degradation targeting chimera compound and a composition and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Protein degradation targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are an emerging drug development technology. Unlike the "occupancy-driven mechanism" of traditional small molecule inhibitors to regulate their activity, PROTAC can achieve direct chemical knockdown of target pathogenic proteins through an "event-driven mechanism". Specifically, PROTAC technology covalently links the binding ligand of the target protein to the binding ligand of the E3 ligase to obtain a class of bifunctional molecules. This type of molecule can bind to the target protein at one end and bind to the E3 ligase at the other end, eventually forming a ternary complex of the target protein-PROTAC-E3 ligase. Subsequently, the target protein is covalently labeled with ubiquitin (a 76-amino acid protein) and recognized and degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. PROTAC can use low-affinity small molecule ligands (interacting transiently with possible binding sites of POI) or oligonucleotides as protein baits to relieve dependence on targetable pockets and provide a new method for degrading "undruggable" proteins. In addition, PROTACs also demonstrate multiple advantages over traditional small molecule inhibitors, such as their unique catalytic properties, lower dosage, and avoiding compensatory protein expression to overcome drug resistance. In the past few decades, a large number of studies have been devoted to designing new PROTACs to expand the range of target proteins, developing new E3 ligase ligands to broaden the application of PROTACs, and improving the performance of PROTACs from multiple angles.
[0003] Although PROTACs can effectively inhibit protein activity, due to their inherent lack of tissue selectivity, systemic toxicity caused by PROTACs after systemic administration remains an urgent problem to be solved. Selective activation of prodrugs is a promising molecular design strategy that can improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce systemic toxicity. Activatable PROTAC prodrugs remain inert in normal tissues and are only activated and restore their protein degradation activity under the action of specific triggers at the tumor site. This strategy provides a practical method for manipulating the degradation process. Currently, the means for PROTAC prodrug activation are mainly divided into two types: endogenous stimulation (mainly including active molecules overexpressed in tumor sites such as glutathione, hydrogen peroxide and enzymes) and external stimulation (ultraviolet light or visible light, etc.). These activatable PROTACs show great potential in controlling protein degradation.
[0004] Hypoxia is a common feature of most solid tumors, which is the result of uncontrolled cell proliferation, abnormal tumor vascularization and insufficient oxygen supply. Since healthy tissues usually do not contain hypoxic areas, tumor hypoxia can be used as a specific target for selective cancer therapy. In the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, endogenous reductases such as nitroreductase and azoreductase are overexpressed. The upregulation of physiological enzymes such as azoreductase and nitroreductase in hypoxic cancer cells can serve as a unique stimulus for the development of bioreductive prodrugs. To date, several nitroreductase-activated PROTAC prodrugs have been developed, mainly by introducing nitroimidazole groups into VHL E3 ligase ligands, which are inefficient in normal tissues and can be activated by overexpressed nitroreductase in tumor tissues. Although these PROTAC prodrugs show certain tumor inhibitory effects, the nitroimidazole masking group has limited hypoxia selectivity and may produce adverse toxicity in healthy tissues. In addition, due to the heterogeneity of hypoxic areas within solid tumors, the activation efficiency of hypoxia-activated prodrugs is limited, and poor effects have been observed in some clinical trials. Therefore, developing more intelligent hypoxia activation strategies to improve tissue specificity and promote effective prodrug activation is a major challenge in the current PROTAC prodrug design. In addition, most of the currently developed PROTAC prodrugs lack a reporting mechanism for drug activation and therefore cannot provide diagnostic feedback. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present invention designs a hypoxia-responsive PROTAC prodrug based on azobenzene and uses it for PROTAC and photodynamic therapy combined treatment, thereby achieving a more effective anti-tumor effect. The photosensitizer and PROTAC molecules are connected by the hypoxia-activated azobenzene structure, and the resulting PROTAC prodrug maintains low toxicity under normoxic conditions. The azo bond can be reduced and release the photosensitizer and PROTAC molecules in the hypoxic microenvironment, thereby respectively realizing the functions of monitoring the drug release process and inducing the degradation of the bromodomain exodomain (BET) protein. In addition, this degradation inhibits the transcriptional regulation function of BET protein and significantly promotes tumor cell apoptosis. Under the irradiation of near-infrared laser, the photosensitizer transfers energy to oxygen, produces cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, thereby inducing tumor cell damage. In in vivo treatment experiments, it was shown that the therapeutic effect of the prodrug was significantly enhanced when used in combination with photodynamic therapy. This method not only improves the safety of PROTAC, but also enhances the synergistic therapeutic effect on tumors.

[0009] The compounds of the present invention use azo bonds as hypoxia response units, which can respond to the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and activate its protein degradation function, while restoring the fluorescence signal of the photosensitizer to monitor drug release in real time. Under near-infrared light irradiation, the photosensitizer produces reactive oxygen to induce tumor cell apoptosis, thereby achieving photodynamic therapy and PROTAC combined therapy. The compounds of the present invention can solve the problems of systemic toxicity after administration of existing PROTACs drug systems and poor effects in tumor treatment, and can monitor drug release in real time, so they have good practical application value.

[0089] Beneficial technical effects of the present invention:
[0090] The present invention provides a hypoxia-responsive protein-targeted degradation chimera prodrug, which blocks the active site of the PROTAC drug E3 ligase with an azobenzene structure and maintains a non-toxic state in normal tissues. In hypoxic tumors, the azo bond is cut by the reductase, thereby releasing the active PROTAC drug and inducing the degradation of the target protein. At the same time, byproducts such as carbon dioxide and 4-methylene-cyclohexadiene-imine with extremely low toxicity are produced, and no other substances that may be harmful to the body are produced, thereby reducing its toxic side effects on the whole body. This design effectively avoids the damage of PROTAC molecules to normal tissues while achieving selective activation of hypoxic tumors. At the same time, the synthesis method of the PROTAC prodrug is simple, no toxic reagents are introduced, and there is no problem of toxic reagent residues, and the biosafety is high, so it has good practical application value.
[0091] The present invention introduces an activatable photosensitizer into the prodrug, and the intramolecular charge transfer of the photosensitizer is inhibited under normoxic conditions, so that reactive oxygen cannot be generated. This design greatly reduces the phototoxicity of the prodrug and increases the flexibility and safety of the prodrug. The photosensitizer is activated at the hypoxic tumor site, and its fluorescence signal and photosensitivity are also restored, which can be used to monitor drug release in real time.
[0092] The prodrug of the present invention can release PROTAC drugs and photosensitizers simultaneously after being activated in the hypoxic environment of the tumor, wherein the PROTAC molecule can degrade the BET protein through the proteasome pathway, and the photosensitizer can generate reactive oxygen species under the irradiation of near-infrared light, significantly inducing tumor cell apoptosis. The activated prodrug combined with photodynamic therapy can effectively inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells (IC 50 =0.218 μM). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0212] Example 2 Characterization of the release capacity of hypoxia-responsive PROTAC prodrugs
[0213] Experimental procedure: PBS was bubbled with argon for 1 hour to remove oxygen. 50 μM of compound A1 was mixed with 50 mM sodium disulfite (Na 2 S 2 O 4 , a chemical mimetic of azoreductase) and studied its fluorescence spectra at different time points. Figure 1 The image (a) shows that the prodrug itself has almost no fluorescence in the range of 400-800nm. As the reaction time increases, the photosensitizer methylene blue (MB) is released, resulting in a gradual recovery of fluorescence. The above changes can be attributed to the breaking of the azo bond in the prodrug and the occurrence of intramolecular charge transfer. Figure 1 As shown in the picture (b), this reduction process can also be confirmed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. HPLC experimental conditions: Welch Ultisil XB-C18, 5μm, 4.6×250mm chromatographic column, flow rate of 0.5mL / min, detection wavelength: 254nm; analysis method: gradient elution with 30% acetonitrile-water solution (containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) from 0 to 3 minutes, then gradient elution with 30%-95% acetonitrile-water solution (containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid) for 3-13 minutes, then elution with 95% acetonitrile-water solution for 5 minutes, and then gradient elution with 95%-30% acetonitrile-water solution (containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid), and stop detection at 30 minutes. The solvents used in this experiment are all HPLC grade solvents.
[0214] Example 3 In vitro antitumor effect of hypoxia-responsive PROTAC prodrug
[0215] Experimental procedure: Logarithmic phase MCF-7 cells were used for the experiment. The cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at a density of 5000 cells per well and adhered to the wall at 37°C for 24 hours. The cells were divided into different control groups: compound S1 / S2, compound A1 / A2, compound A1 / A2 + hypoxia, and compound A1 / A2 + hypoxia + laser. Different concentrations of compound S1 / S2 and compound A1 / A2 were added to the well plate, and the compound S1 / S2 group and compound A1 / A2 group were incubated under normoxic conditions for 72 hours; the compound A1 / A2 + hypoxia group was incubated in a hypoxic bag for 24 hours, and then incubated under normoxic conditions for 48 hours; the compound A1 / A2 + hypoxia + laser group was incubated in a hypoxic bag for 24 hours, and then irradiated with a 660nm laser at 0.8W / cm 2 The cells were irradiated at a power density of 500 nm for 5 minutes and incubated under normoxic conditions for 48 hours. Subsequently, 20 μL of CellTiter The solution was added and the well plate was incubated in an incubator for 2-4 hours, and then the absorbance was measured using a microplate reader.
[0216] The experimental results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, the IC50 of compound S1 in MCF-7 cells is 0.264 μM, and the corresponding IC50 of compound A1 under normoxic conditions is 2.89 μM. It is inferred that when the hydroxyl group on the VHL ligand is masked by the azobenzene structure, compound A1 cannot effectively degrade the BET protein, so the tumor killing effect is weak. However, when the cells to which the drug compound A1 is added are treated with hypoxia, the hypoxic environment causes the azo group in the prodrug to break, releasing the PROTAC molecule, thereby producing significant cytotoxicity. Subsequently, under the irradiation of near-infrared light, the reactive oxygen species produced by the photosensitizer enhances the tumor therapeutic effect of the drug, and its corresponding IC50 is 0.218 μM. Similarly, the toxicity of the compound A2+hypoxia+laser group is also significantly increased, proving the safety of the drug under normoxic conditions, and photodynamic therapy increases the drug toxicity of the prodrug after activation.
[0217] Example 4: Detection of apoptosis by Annexin V / PI double staining
[0218] The surface of normal cells is composed of lipids that are asymmetrically distributed on the inner and outer leaflets of the plasma membrane. Among them, phosphatidylserine (PS) is usually only distributed in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane and is therefore only exposed in the cytoplasm. However, when apoptosis occurs, PS is exposed on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. Annexin V is a phospholipid-binding protein that can bind to PS. Therefore, fluorescently labeled Annexin V can be used to detect PS exposed to the outside of early apoptotic cells. By co-staining with propidium iodide (PI), Annexin V-PI can distinguish between normal living cells, early apoptotic cells, and late apoptotic cells.
[0219] Cell treatment: MCF-7 cells in logarithmic growth phase were used for the experiment. The cells were cultured at 2×10 5 Cells were seeded at a density of 10 cells per well in a 12-well plate and allowed to adhere to the wall at 37°C for 24 hours. The cells were treated with DMSO, compound S1, or compound A1 (400 nM). The normoxic group was cultured in an incubator for 48 hours, and the hypoxic group was incubated in a hypoxic bag for 24 hours and then incubated under normoxic conditions for another 24 hours. After 24 hours of hypoxia treatment, the laser group was treated with a 660 nm laser at 0.8 W / cm 2 The irradiation was carried out at a power density of 500 nm for 5 minutes.
[0220] Cell collection: Collect the culture medium in a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube for later use. Wash the cells three times with pre-cooled PBS, then digest with 0.25% trypsin (without EDTA) at 37°C, add the previously collected culture medium to terminate the digestion, and prepare a cell suspension solution. Centrifuge at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes and discard the supernatant. Resuspend the cells with 4°C pre-cooled PBS, centrifuge again under the same conditions, and discard the supernatant.
[0221] Cell staining: Staining was performed according to the instructions of ANNEXIN V-FITC / PI apoptosis detection kit. 6 The cells were resuspended in 100 μL Binding Buffer, 5 μL Annexin V-FITC solution was added, mixed and incubated for 5 minutes, then 5 μL propidium iodide solution and PBS (200 μL) were added, mixed and fluorescence detection was immediately performed using a flow cytometer.
[0222] According to the working principle of Annexin V / PI double staining reagent, the scatter plot is divided into 4 quadrants. The lower left quadrant is FITC / PI negative, representing living cells; the lower right quadrant is FITC positive and PI negative, representing early apoptotic cells; the upper right quadrant is FITC / PI positive, representing necrotic cells or late apoptotic cells. Figure 3 It can be seen that the ability of compound A1 to induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells under hypoxia and normoxic conditions is significantly different. Under normoxic conditions, the ability of compound A1 to induce cell apoptosis is comparable to that of the control group DMSO, and there is no obvious cell killing ability. However, under hypoxia, after compound A1 treated MCF-7 cells, a significant increase in apoptotic cells was detected in flow cytometry. After hypoxia treatment, the apoptotic cells were further detected using a 660nm laser at 0.8W / cm -2 The results show that the number of apoptotic cells increased further, proving that the combined treatment of compound A1 and photodynamic therapy can further promote cell apoptosis.
[0223] Example 5 Protein degradation activity test of hypoxia-responsive PROTAC prodrug
[0224] Cell treatment: Logarithmic phase MCF-7 cells were cultured at 5×10 5 Cells were seeded at a density of 10 cells / well in a six-well plate and adhered to the wall at 37°C for 24 hours. The cells were divided into different control groups: compound S1, compound A1 / B1, compound A1 / B1+hypoxia, and compound A1 / B1+hypoxia+laser. Different concentrations (0nM, 10nM, 30nM, 100nM, 300nM, 1000nM) of compound S1, compound A1, and compound B1 were added to the well plate, and the compound S1 group, compound A1, and compound B1 group were incubated under normoxic conditions for 24 hours; the compound A1 / B1+hypoxia group was incubated in a hypoxic bag for 12 hours, and then incubated under normoxic conditions for another 12 hours; the compound A1 / B1+hypoxia+laser group was incubated in a hypoxic bag for 12 hours, and then irradiated with a 660nm laser at 0.8W / cm 2 Irradiate at a power density of 5 minutes, and then continue incubation under normoxic conditions for 12 hours. Extraction of total cell protein: After drug treatment, discard the culture medium and wash the cells three times with cold PBS. Scrape the cells, carefully aspirate the resulting solution, and centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes at 4°C to obtain the cells. Lyse the cells washed with pre-cooled PBS in a pre-lysis buffer (containing 1% protease and phosphatase inhibitors) for 30 minutes, vortexing the cells vigorously several times during the lysis process. After the lysis is completed, centrifuge at 14000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4°C, and collect the supernatant as the total cell protein.
[0225] Protein denaturation: Measure protein concentration using the BCA protein concentration assay kit. After quantification, dilute the protein with protein loading buffer and heat the sample at 100°C for 15 minutes to obtain denatured protein.
[0226] Western blotting (WB):
[0227] 1) Protein electrophoresis: Proteins were separated in 4-12% or 4-20% Bis-Tris SDS-PAGE gel. An appropriate volume of cell whole protein extract was loaded into the lane of the SDS-PAGE gel. After 20 minutes of electrophoresis at 80V, the voltage was adjusted to 120V and the electrophoresis was stopped at the bottom of the gel.
[0228] 2) Transfer: After electrophoresis, remove the gel, cut the PVDF membrane (0.45 μm) of appropriate size and activate the membrane with methanol, then balance it with PVDF membrane balance solution. Install the transfer device in the following order from the negative electrode to the positive electrode: sponge pad, gel, PVDF membrane, sponge pad. After installing the transfer device, place it in the transfer tank, check the liquid level of the solution required for transfer, turn on the power, and complete the transfer after 3 transfer cycles.
[0229] 3) Blocking: Place the membrane in QuickBlock TM Western blocking buffer was added and shaken at room temperature for 30 minutes.
[0230] 4) Primary antibody incubation: After blocking, discard the blocking solution, add the primary antibody diluted to an appropriate concentration, and gently shake on a shaker at 4°C overnight. After incubation, wash the membrane 4 times with TBST, 5 minutes each time.
[0231] 5) Secondary antibody incubation: Add secondary antibody diluted to an appropriate concentration and gently shake the PVDF membrane on a shaker for 1 hour at room temperature. After incubation, wash the membrane 4 times with TBST, 5 minutes each time.
[0232] 6) Development: Prepare ECL developer before development. Spread the PVDF membrane on a clean plastic wrap, add developer to the membrane and leave it in the dark for 1 minute, then image the PVDF membrane on the gel system.
[0233] The degradation activity of PROTAC drug S1 of this example on BRD4 is as follows: In the breast cancer cell line MCF-7, it can be observed in the WB results that PROTAC drug S1 effectively degrades BRD4 at the test concentration (0-1000nM), and the DC50 is 90.23nM. Similarly, the degradation activity of hypoxia-responsive protein degradation chimera prodrug compound A1 / B1 on BRD4 is as follows: In the breast cancer cell line MCF-7, it can be observed in the WB results that PROTAC prodrug A1 / B1 has significantly inhibited BRD4 degradation activity at the test concentration before activation. On the contrary, when MCF-7 cells are treated with hypoxia and near-infrared light, BRD4 protein is significantly degraded, and 100nM of the prodrug can degrade more than half of the BRD4 protein. The results are as follows. Figure 4 shown.
[0234] Example 6 Study on the antitumor activity of compound A1 in vivo
[0235] In order to study the in vivo activation and anti-tumor activity of hypoxia-responsive PROTAC prodrug compound A1, the present invention conducted an in vivo anti-tumor activity study on it. MCF-7 cell line was selected and the experiment was carried out in BALB / c nude mice.
[0236] Experimental animals: BALB / c nude mice (female; 6-8 weeks old) were purchased from Beijing Weitongli Huashi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and housed in the Experimental Animal Center of Tsinghua University. All animal experiments were approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Tsinghua University.
[0237] Tumor model establishment: Take MCF-7 cells in the logarithmic growth phase, add pre-cooled PBS buffer to wash the cells three times, and then digest the cells with 0.25% trypsin. The digested cells are centrifuged at 1000rpm / min for 5 minutes, the precipitate is discarded, and the cells are resuspended with pre-cooled PBS and carefully blown to make a single cell solution. After the cells are counted by a counter, the cell density is adjusted to 1×10 7 cells / mL and put into a centrifuge tube and store on ice. Before inoculating cancer cells, gently wipe the subcutaneous tissue on the right back of the nude mouse with a paper towel sprayed with 75% alcohol. Draw 100μL of cell suspension into a 1mL disposable syringe, exhaust the air, puncture about 1cm forward from the injection site, and perform a single subcutaneous injection. After the injection, slowly withdraw the needle to avoid leakage. Observe the tumor growth daily.
[0238] Dosing: When the tumor volume reaches 60mm 3 The tumor model mice were randomly divided into five groups, namely PBS group, laser group, compound A1 group, PROTAC drug compound S1 group and compound A1 + laser irradiation group. Various drugs were dispersed in the following solution: 1% DMSO + 20% PEG + 5% Tween 80 + 74% dd H 2 O; Dosage: 10 mg / kg; Injection into tail vein, 24 hours after drug injection, 660 nm laser at 0.8 W / cm 2 The irradiation was carried out at a power density of 100 for 10 minutes.
[0239] Experimental Log:
[0240] Tumor size was measured and body weight was monitored every other day. The formula for calculating tumor volume was: tumor volume = length × width × width / 2. After 16 days of monitoring, mice in each group were euthanized and tumors and major organs were collected. The experimental results showed that the mice were in good health during the experiment, and their movements, eating, and excretion were normal.
[0241] The curve of tumor volume change over time in mice in the compound A1 group is shown in Figure 5. From the results of administration, compared with the PBS group, although compound S1 can inhibit tumor growth, the anti-tumor effect is not good, which is mainly due to the lower dosage and frequency of administration. On the contrary, when compound A1 is used in combination with near-infrared light, tumor growth is significantly inhibited. This result shows that the combination of compound A1 and photodynamic therapy can enhance the killing of tumor cells ( Figure 5 The p values used were calculated by t-test, ***p<0.001, **p<0.01. Data are expressed as mean±standard deviation, n=4).
