Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and in particular relates to a ferritin ligand, a ferritin degradation agent, a pharmaceutical preparation and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Iron plays a key role in various metabolic processes and is an essential metal element for maintaining life. However, excessive iron, especially ferrous ions, can lead to cellular iron overload. Reactive oxygen species produced by the Fenton reaction of ferrous ions can cause organ damage. Therefore, iron ions must be properly regulated to maintain iron homeostasis. Ferritin is a 24-mer composed of H subunits and L subunits in different proportions. It is one of the key factors in the iron homeostasis regulation network. When the cell is iron-rich and needs to lower the iron level, the H subunit converts Fe 2+ Oxidized to Fe 3+ Ferritin is transferred to the nucleation site of the L subunit for storage; when the intracellular iron deficiency requires the increase of iron levels, ferritin will be degraded by lysosomal autophagy or ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, releasing the iron ions stored in it. Ferritin is highly expressed in malignant tumor cells and plays an important role in the growth and proliferation of tumor cells. Therefore, the development of a degrader targeting ferritin is expected to become a new strategy for tumor treatment. Summary of the invention

[0178] Preparation of compound 21
[0179] Compound 20 (1mmol) was added with pomalidomide-polyethylene glycol-acid (1.1mmol), HATU (1.5mmol) and 2mL of N,N-dimethylformamide, and trimethylpyridine (1.5mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After the reaction was completed by TLC monitoring, the next step was performed. The reaction solution of the previous step was taken, DBU (1.35mmoL) and mercaptoethanol (1.35mmoL) were added and treated at room temperature for 30 minutes. After the reaction of the raw materials was completed by TLC monitoring, ethyl acetate was added for extraction. After washing with saturated brine, the organic phase was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed in vacuo and concentrated before the next step of reaction was performed. The concentrated product of the previous step was treated with CH2Cl2 / TFA / triisopropylsilane / H2O (47.5 / 47.5 / 2.5 / 2.5, 5mL) solution for 2h. After the solvent was removed in vacuo, compound 21 was obtained after separation and purification by reverse column chromatography.
