Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to an estrogen receptor protein targeted degradation chimera derivative based on estratriene structure and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of drug synthesis and application. Background Art
[0002] Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease in women worldwide, and most breast cancer tumors are estrogen receptor alpha (ER) positive at diagnosis, about 60%. Estrogen receptors play an important role in the development of the disease. For example, compared with normal tissue, ER protein levels are increased in the early stages of breast malignancy and in malignant lesions. + Tumor growth is significantly correlated with anti-estrogen therapy, which can block the binding sites of estrogen receptors, thereby inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), approximately 250,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017, and more than 40,000 patients died from it. + / HER2 - Breast cancer accounts for about 70% of breast cancer patients. Such patients can be treated with endocrine blockade therapy in the early stages, but as the disease progresses, the tumor will become resistant to this therapy and will also accumulate many mutations, making treatment difficult.
[0003] In recent years, the incidence of breast cancer has been on the rise, and now ranks first among female malignant tumors. Among breast cancer patients, about 70% present with estrogen receptor ER-positive breast cancer. Therefore, ER is an important target in breast cancer drug research. To date, the primary intervention for the treatment of ER-positive breast cancer is still endocrine therapy that inhibits estrogen levels associated with breast cancer, mainly including selective estrogen receptor modulators (such as tamoxifen, raloxifene) and aromatase inhibitors (such as letrozole, exemestane) and selective ER downregulators. Although endocrine therapy has achieved great results in the treatment of breast cancer patients, it has problems such as toxic side effects, long treatment time and drug resistance.
[0004] The protein hydrolysis targeted chimera PROTAC technology was proposed by Professor Craig M. Crews' team. It is currently a cutting-edge targeted therapy strategy. PROTACs is a hybrid bifunctional molecule with a ligand that can bind to the E3 ligase at one end and a ligand that binds to the target protein (protein of interest, POI) at the other end, with a linker in the middle. The mechanism of action is to recruit the target protein to the vicinity of the E3 ligase through PROTACs molecules, so that the target protein is ubiquitinated and then degraded through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, ultimately achieving the purpose of treating the disease. It can effectively overcome drug resistance by degrading ER in breast cancer cells to exert its therapeutic effect, and is a promising anti-breast cancer drug.
[0005] There are also relatively few types of estrogen receptor protein targeted degradation chimera derivatives at present. The development of a variety of new estrogen receptor protein targeted degradation chimeras to meet the application has always been a research focus, especially the preparation of estrogen receptor protein targeted degradation chimeras with higher activity and stronger specificity. In addition, the current marketed drug Fulvestrant can only degrade 50% of estrogen receptors, which has a low degradation upper limit, limiting the use of this type of compound.

[0084] Related definitions Unless otherwise specified, the following terms and phrases used herein are intended to have the following meanings. A particular term or phrase should not be considered to be uncertain or unclear in the absence of a special definition, but should be understood according to its ordinary meaning. When a trade name appears in this article, it is intended to refer to its corresponding commercial product or its active ingredient.
[0085] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" as used herein refers to those compounds, materials, compositions and / or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with human and animal tissues without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reaction, or other problems or complications, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0086] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt of a compound of the present application, prepared from a compound with a specific substituent found in the present application and a relatively non-toxic acid or base. When the compound of the present application contains a relatively acidic functional group, a base addition salt can be obtained by contacting such a compound with a sufficient amount of a base in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. When the compound of the present application contains a relatively basic functional group, an acid addition salt can be obtained by contacting such a compound with a sufficient amount of an acid in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. Certain specific compounds of the present application contain basic and acidic functional groups, and can thus be converted into either a base or acid addition salt.
[0087] The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present application can be synthesized by conventional chemical methods from parent compounds containing acid radicals or bases. Generally, the preparation method of such salts is: in water or an organic solvent or a mixture of the two, these compounds in free acid or base form are reacted with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate base or acid to prepare.
[0088] The compounds of the present application may exist in specific geometric or stereoisomeric forms. The present application contemplates all such compounds, including cis and trans isomers, (-)- and (+)-enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (Z)-isomers, and racemic mixtures and other mixtures thereof, such as mixtures enriched in enantiomers or diastereomers, all of which are within the scope of the present application. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in substituents such as alkyl. All of these isomers and their mixtures are included within the scope of the present application.
[0089] The compounds and intermediates of the present application can also exist in different tautomeric forms, and all such forms are included in the scope of the present application. The term "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" refers to structural isomers of different energies that can be interconverted via low energy barriers. For example, proton tautomers (also referred to as proton transfer tautomers) include interconversions via proton migration, such as keto-enol and imine-enamine isomerization. The specific example of proton tautomers is the imidazole moiety, in which the proton can migrate between two ring nitrogens. Valence tautomers include interconversions through the reorganization of some bonding electrons. The compounds of the present application can include atomic isotopes of non-natural proportions on one or more atoms constituting the compound. For example, radioactive isotope labeled compounds can be used, such as tritium (2H), iodine-125 (125I) or C-14 (14C). For another example, deuterium can be used to replace hydrogen to form deuterated drugs. The bond between deuterium and carbon is stronger than the bond between ordinary hydrogen and carbon. Compared with undeuterated drugs, deuterated drugs have the advantages of reducing toxic side effects, increasing drug stability, enhancing efficacy, and extending the biological half-life of drugs.

[0165] Test Example 1 Determination of estrogen receptor proteolytic activity The estrogen receptor protein targeted degradation chimeric derivative based on the estratriene structure prepared in the above example was tested for estrogen receptor protein hydrolysis activity, and QDE-003-C in the CN118027003A patent was used as a control. The experimental process is as follows: 1. Take MCF-7 cells in the logarithmic growth phase, plate them into 6-well plates at 1.5×106 / well, and culture them overnight; 2. Add the positive drug and test substance groups with a final concentration of 1 μM (DMSO ratio of 0.1%) and incubate in the incubator for 24 hours; 3. Collect cells from each group and wash once with PBS; add cell lysis buffer containing 1×Protease Inhibitor cocktail and 1×Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail II, lyse thoroughly on ice, centrifuge at 4°C, 14,000 rpm for 10 min, and collect the supernatant.
[0166] 4. After the protein concentration was determined by BCA kit, the Estrogen Receptor alpha protein level was detected by Western blot.
[0167] The test results are shown in Table 1. The Western Blot experimental image diagram of the inhibition of ER protein level in MCF-7 cells by the estrogen receptor protein targeted degradation chimeric derivative based on the estradiol structure is shown in Figure 1-3 , the quantitative graph of protein concentration in WB experiment of ER protein degradation is shown in Figure 4 , Figure 1-3 "17: Fulvestrant 0.1μM" is the control of Fulvestrant. It can be seen that at the same dosage concentration (0.1μM), the ratio of the IntDen value of the estrogen receptor protein (ER) to the internal reference (GAPDH) of the four compounds QDE-FWSQ-3, QDE-FWSQ-4, QDE-FWSQ-12, and QDE-FWSQ-21 is lower than that of the positive control drug Fulvestrant. This proves that its ability to degrade the estrogen receptor in MCF-7 breast cancer cells is higher than that of the positive control drug Fulvestrant.
