Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to compounds, preparation methods and uses thereof, and in particular to a series of compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for degrading Polθ based on hydrophobic tags, preparation methods and uses thereof. Background Art

[0002] Synthetic lethality provides a new approach for the treatment of mutant genes that were previously considered untargetable in traditional genotype-targeted therapies. DNA polymerase θ (Polθ, encoded by the POLQ gene) plays an important role in the microhomology end-mediated repair pathway. Polθ consists of a C-terminal DNA polymerase domain, an N-terminal ATPase / helicase domain, and a disordered central domain. In homologous recombination-deficient cells, Polθ can perform error-prone DNA synthesis at sites of DNA damage through the microhomology end-mediated repair pathway and is synthetically lethal in homologous recombination (HR)-deficient cancers. Polθ is essentially not expressed in normal cells, but is upregulated in a variety of cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and gastric cancer. In addition, increased Polθ expression is associated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer. The survival of cancer cells lacking HR, NHEJ, or ATM is highly dependent on the activity of Polθ. Therefore, Polθ is an attractive target for novel synthetic lethal therapies in cancers with DNA repair defects. Summary of the invention

[0119] Activity test

[0120] (I) Western blot analysis of the effects of compounds on Polθ expression in MDA-MB-436 cells

[0121] 1. Experimental Methods

[0122] After the MDA-MB-436 cells were treated with the compound, the culture medium was discarded, and the cells were washed with PBS for 2-3 times. Protease inhibitors and RIPA lysis buffer were added in sequence to completely lyse the cells, and then centrifuged (4°C, 12,000g, 10min). The upper layer was the total protein solution obtained. Referring to the instructions of the kit, 7.5% separation gel and 5% concentration gel were prepared according to the molecular weight of the protein to be tested, and SDS-PAGE gel was cast. After adding an appropriate amount of pre-cooled 1× electrophoresis buffer, the previously biomarked sample or total protein extract in the cell was added to the lane (pre-stained protein Maker and sample). 90V stabilized electrophoresis for about 30 minutes. After the sample enters the separation gel, adjust the voltage to 120V and continue electrophoresis. When the target band reaches the appropriate position (refer to the position of the pre-stained protein Maker), the electrophoresis is terminated. Electrophoresis can be terminated when bromophenol blue just runs out, and the mold is transferred. The band of the target protein was stripped out, attached to a PVDF membrane, transferred to the PVDF membrane by electrophoresis, and then blocked with 5% skim milk on a decolorizing shaker for 1 hour. Add the primary antibody, incubate overnight at 4°C, and then wash three times with TBST, each washing time is 10 minutes. Add the secondary antibody, incubate at room temperature for 2 hours, and then wash three times with TBST, each washing time is 10 minutes. Prepare the ECL mixed solution in the dark room in advance according to the ratio of ECLA:ECLB=1:1, then place the treated PVDF membrane face up in the exposure box, add the prepared ECL mixed solution, react for 1-2 minutes, and then discard the reaction solution, adjust the exposure conditions according to the luminescence intensity of the developer, and start exposure.

[0123] 2. Experimental results

[0124] like Figure 1 As shown, the compounds 14a, 14b, 14c, 14e, 14g, 14i, 14k, and 141 disclosed in the present invention showed a concentration-dependent degradation effect on Polθ, and showed a certain degree of degradation effect on Polθ when the administration concentration was 15 μM and the administration time was 24 h. Figure 2 As shown, compound 14k treated MDA-MB-436 cells and showed a Polθ degradation effect. After the cells were pre-treated with a proteasome inhibitor for 4 hours and then treated with compound 14k, the results showed that the degradation effect of compound 14k disappeared, indicating that compound 14k degrades Polθ protein through the proteasome pathway.
