Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine technology, and in particular relates to a triazolothiadiazole compound and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] There are many ways of programmed cell death, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy. Ferroptosis is a new type of non-apoptotic programmed cell death caused by excessive accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxides discovered in 2012. This cell death mode is characterized by the fact that when the free iron in the cell increases, on the one hand, more reactive oxygen species will be produced through the Fenton reaction, oxidizing polyunsaturated fatty acids on the cell membrane into lipid peroxides; on the other hand, lipid peroxides can be further catalyzed into toxic lipid free radicals, leading to cell death. Ferroptosis has been found to be highly correlated with human diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, tissue damage during cold exposure, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and cancer. Inducing ferroptosis is a very promising method for treating malignant tumors. It has shown synergistic effects with cancer immunotherapy and can even kill drug-resistant and metastatic tumor cells.
[0003] Ferroptosis has attracted great interest because it has become a very promising target for cancer treatment. So far, it has been found that ferroptosis is regulated by at least three major redox-related systems, including the cysteine-glutathione (GSH)-glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) system, the guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) system, and the ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1)-CoQ system. 10 system. Among them, FSP1-CoQ 10 FSP1 inhibits ferroptosis by synergizing with GSH-GPX4. FSP1 inhibits ferroptosis by reducing ubiquinone to ubiquinol or vitamin K to hydroquinone. Studies have shown that inhibiting FSP1 can affect FSP1's ability to reduce lipid peroxides, thereby inducing cell ferroptosis and effectively preventing tumor recurrence. Therefore, the development of FSP1 inhibitors is of great significance for cancer treatment.
[0004] Although FSP1 inhibitors show great promise in tumor treatment, there are still certain challenges in developing small molecule inhibitors targeting FSP1. Not only are there few FSP1 inhibitors, but there are also no reports of FSP1 inhibitors entering clinical research. The reported FSP1 inhibitors mainly include NPD4928, iFSP1, icFSP1, FSEN1, FSEN3, etc. These reported FSP1 inhibitors have shown the efficacy of inducing ferroptosis in several cancer cell lines, but their inhibitory effects on FSP1 are not strong enough, and their pharmacokinetic properties are poor, making them unsuitable for in vivo use; in addition, they exhibit off-target effects at high concentrations. Therefore, new FSP1 inhibitors with improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties are urgently needed to fully explore the potential of FSP1 as a tumor treatment target. Summary of the invention

[0095] Inhibitory activity of the compound of test example 1 on FSP1
[0096] The enzyme reaction was prepared using TBS buffer (50 nM Tris-HCl and 150 nM NaCl), which included the test molecules P1-P6 and 50 nM non-myr-FSP1, 200 nM NADH, and FSEN3 as a positive control. Then, 100 μM of fluoroquinone sodium salt (Sigma, cat. no. R7017) was added to the reaction system, and the fluorescence intensity (F) was measured every minute at 37°C using a SpectraMax iD5 microplate reader and SoftMax Pro v.7 software, with an excitation wavelength / emission wavelength of 540 / 590 nm. The IC was calculated using an equal volume of DMSO and a control reaction without fluoroquinone. 50After the experiment, GraphPadPrism 9 software was used for curve fitting and IC 50 The calculation results are shown in Table 1:
[0097] Table 1 Inhibitory activity of compounds on FSP1 protein
[0098] Compound <![CDATA[IC 50 (μM)]]> Compound <![CDATA[IC 50 (μM)]]> Compound <![CDATA[IC 50 (μM)]]> P1 0.05±0.02 P2 0.18±0.05 P3 0.035±0.016 P4 0.09±0.07 P5 0.07±0.00 P6 0.19±0.06 FSEN3 0.15±0.09
[0099] As can be seen from Table 1, the triazolothiadiazole compounds of the present invention have good inhibitory activity against FSP1. The FSP1 inhibitory activity of compounds P2 and P6 is comparable to that of FSEN3, and the FSP1 inhibitory activity of compounds P1, P3, P4, and P5 is better than that of FSEN3.
[0100] Compounds P3 and FSEN3 with the best enzyme inhibitory activity were selected for molecular docking with FSP1. Compounds P3 and FSEN3 both adopted similar binding modes. The predicted binding modes are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. Figure 1 It can be seen that the 4-methoxyphenyl ring of compounds P3 and FSEN3 is sandwiched by NAD+ and Val50, forming a bond π-π stacking interaction. Both compounds P3 and FSEN3 form hydrogen bonds with amino acid residue Ala295 through the nitrogen atom of the triazole ring. In addition, their R1 side chains extend into the hydrophobic pocket occupied by UQ1. Compared with FSEN3, the thiadiazole ring of compound P3 can form an additional hydrogen bond with Lys355. In addition, the 4-(piperazine-1-acyl)benzoic acid methyl ester side chain of compound P3 exhibits obvious π-π stacking interactions with Tyr296, presenting a t-shaped structure, which are the main reasons for its enhanced inhibitory effect on FSP1.

[0102] FSP1 inhibitors can enhance RSL3-induced ferroptosis in cancer cell lines from different tissues, such as human non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549, human fibrosarcoma cell line HT1080, and human osteosarcoma cell line U2OS. Therefore, these three tumor cell lines were selected to determine whether the compounds can enhance RSL3-induced ferroptosis. A549, HT1080, and U2OS cells were cultured to a cell density of about 80%, the cells were digested and centrifuged, and the cells were resuspended and counted in 1 mL of fresh culture medium, and then the cells were inoculated into a 96-well plate at a number of 5000 cells / well. The 24 wells on the upper and lower edges were not inoculated with cells, and 200 μL PBS was added; the 96-well plate was placed in a cell culture incubator for culture. After about 12 hours, the cells were completely attached to the wall and drug treatment was performed. 1 μM of the test compounds P1 and P3 were added to all wells, and FSEN3 was used as a positive control; after adding the test compounds, RSL3 was set to a concentration gradient of 0, 0.01 μM, 0.03 μM, 0.05 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.3 μM, 0.5 μM, 1 μM, 3 μM, 5 μM, and 10 μM, and added to the well plate in sequence, and 2 replicate wells were set for each concentration; after adding RSL3 and the test compounds, cell death was observed. After about 5 hours, the 96-well plate was taken out and the CellTiter The cells in the well plate were lysed by the Glo kit, and after thorough mixing, the cell ATP level was quantified by measuring the fluorescence value on the microplate reader (TECAN), and the relative viability was evaluated by the ATP reading value; GraphPad was used for data processing to calculate the effect of the test compound on cell viability by inhibiting FSP1 combined with RSL3. The results are shown in Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 It can be seen that in human non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549, human fibrosarcoma cell line HT1080 and human osteosarcoma cell line U2OS, compounds P1 and P3 can significantly promote RSL3-induced ferroptosis.
[0103] Test Example 3 Effects of compounds on cellular lipid peroxidation by inhibiting FSP1 combined with RSL3
[0104] Since FSP1 exerts anti-ferroptosis activity by reducing RTA molecules such as CoQ or VK, and CoQ and VK can inhibit the propagation stage of phospholipid peroxidation and thus inhibit phospholipid peroxidation, the inhibition of FSP1 will theoretically promote the occurrence of phospholipid peroxidation. Based on this, the intracellular lipidROS level was detected by flow cytometry. A549, HT1080, and U2OS cells were cultured to a cell density of about 80%, digested and centrifuged, and resuspended and counted in 1 mL of fresh culture medium, and then the cells were inoculated into a 24-well plate at a number of 20,000 cells / well; the 24-well plate was placed in a cell culture incubator for culture, and after about 12 hours, the cells were completely attached to the wall, and drug treatment was performed, and the corresponding concentration of DMSO was added to the control wells, and 2.5 μM RSL3 (inducing ferroptosis) and 1 μM of the test compounds P1 and P3 were added to the experimental wells; after adding RSL3 and the test compounds, cell death was observed, and after about 5 hours, a final concentration of 5 μM BODIPY 581 / 591C11 dye was added, and cultured at 37°C for 30 minutes; the 24-well plate was taken out, the cells were digested and centrifuged, washed once with HBSS, and then resuspended in HBSS and transferred to a flow tube; after sufficient mixing, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (BD FACS The signal from the oxidation probe was counted through the FITC channel to determine the level of lipid peroxidation in the cells. At least 5 × 10 3 cells; Flowjo was used for data processing to calculate the effect of the test compound on cellular lipid peroxidation by inhibiting FSP1 combined with RSL3. The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 It can be seen that when the cells were co-incubated with compounds P1, P3 and RSL3, the content of lipid peroxides increased significantly compared with cells treated with RSL3 alone, indicating that compounds P1 and P3 can enhance RSL3-induced lipid peroxidation.
[0105] Test Example 4 Effect of Compounds on HT1080 Cell Viability by Inhibiting FSP1
[0106] Assuming that adding a lethal dose of RSL3 to cells can induce ferroptosis, if VK, a substrate of FSP1, is added exogenously at this time, FSP1 can provide a continuous supply of VKH2 by reducing VK, thereby enabling tumor cells to resist a lethal dose of RSL3. To prove this hypothesis, ferroptosis was induced by adding 2μM RSL3 to HT1080 cells, and at the same time, gradient concentrations of VK were added. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4It can be seen that about 0.3μM VK can keep cells alive. VK inhibits ferroptosis depends on the ability of intracellular FSP1 to reduce VK. If 2μM RSL3 and 0.3μM VK are added to keep cells alive and then FSP1 inhibitors are added exogenously to inhibit VK reduction, the cells will die because VK cannot be reduced. Using this system, the IC value of FSP1 inhibitors on FSP1 at the cellular level can be determined by adding different concentration gradients of FSP1 inhibitors. 50 , and it can also be demonstrated that the inhibitor can specifically target FSP1.
[0107] HT1080 cells were cultured until the cell density reached about 80%, and the cells were digested and centrifuged, and the cells were resuspended and counted in 1 mL of fresh culture medium, and then the cells were inoculated into a 96-well plate at a number of 5000 cells / well. Because the culture medium in the side wells of the 96-well plate evaporated quickly, the 24 wells on the upper and lower edges were not inoculated with cells, and were filled with 200 μL PBS; the 96-well plate was placed in a cell culture incubator for culture, and after about 12 hours, the cells were completely attached to the wall, and drug treatment was performed, and 2 μM RSL3 (inducing iron) was added to all wells. Death) and 0.3μM vitamin K (inhibit ferroptosis, vitamin K is reduced and regenerated by endogenous FSP1 in the cell to provide a continuous supply of reduced vitamin K, i.e. VKH2); after adding RSL3 and vitamin K, the test compounds P1, P3-P5 and positive control drugs iFSP1 and FSEN3 were set to 12 different concentration gradients and added to the well plate in sequence, and 2 replicates were set for each concentration; after adding the compounds, the cell death was observed, and after about 7h, the 96-well plate was taken out, and the cells in the well plate were lysed using the CellTiter Glo kit. After sufficient mixing, the cell ATP level was quantified by measuring the fluorescence value on the microplate reader (TECAN), and the relative viability was evaluated by the ATP reading; GraphPad was used for data processing to calculate the IC 50 The results are shown in Table 2:
