Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and specifically relates to a CDK12 / 13 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a pharmaceutical composition containing these compounds, and the use of these compounds or compositions for preparing drugs for treating CDK12 / 13-mediated diseases. Background Art
[0002] Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of protein kinases that catalyze serine / threonine phosphorylation and are closely related to the cell cycle and transcription. They have been confirmed to be oncogenic drivers. 21 subtypes of CDKs have been found. Different CDK subtypes have different functions, but they have highly similar ATP binding pockets. Therefore, although many reported pan-CDK inhibitors have significant anti-tumor effects, they also have problems such as large toxic side effects, which seriously limit their clinical application. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop selective CDK inhibitors.
[0003] Studies have shown that CDK12 and CDK13 play a series of important biological functions in gene transcription regulation, participation in pre-mRNA splicing, promotion of cell proliferation and differentiation, and DNA damage response. With the continuous deepening of the pathogenic mechanism and genomic research of breast cancer and other tumors, studies have found that CDK12 and CDK13 are abnormally expressed or mutated in a variety of cancers, which are closely related to their occurrence and development. CDK12 / 13 is expected to become a new biomarker and a new target for personalized treatment of breast cancer and prostate cancer patients. By inhibiting CDK12 / 13 kinases, the sensitivity of tumor cells to DNA damaging drugs can be enhanced, and genomic instability can be increased, thereby effectively inhibiting tumor growth. Therefore, the development of CDK12 / 13 inhibitors has become a potential new strategy for tumor treatment. Summary of the invention

Experimental Example 1 Cell proliferation inhibition activity test
[0058] MTT assay to detect the 48h IC of drugs on breast cancer cells 50 Value: The experiment set up solvent control group and drug experimental group. Each drug experimental group set up 8 concentrations, and each concentration set up 3 parallel wells. Each experiment was repeated three times. In the 96-well plate, the cell concentration added to each well was 1×10 5 100 μL of cell suspension containing 3×10 cells / mL, i.e., each well contains 3×10 3When inoculating, pay attention to make the cells evenly distributed in each well. To prevent liquid evaporation, cells are not inoculated in a circle of wells around the 96-well plate, and PBS is added to keep it moist. After the cells adhere, 100 μL of the target compound of different concentrations is added to each well in the drug experimental group. The 96-well plate was placed in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for continued culture, and the culture was terminated after 72 hours. After the cells were treated with drugs for 48 hours, the 96-well plate was taken out, and the MTT solution was added to each well. After continuing to incubate in the cell culture incubator for 4 hours, the absorbance value (A) of each well was measured at 570nm on an automatic microplate reader. The inhibition rate was calculated by the formula. A linear regression analysis was performed on the inhibition rate against the drug concentration, and the IC was calculated using the linear equation. 50 The test results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and the experimental results were statistically analyzed using SPSS15.0 software, with P < 0.05 indicating a significant difference. The results are shown in Table 1.
