Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology and relates to a tricyclic ubiquitin-specific protease 1 inhibitor, its preparation method, uses, and pharmaceutical composition. Background Technology

[0002] Ubiquitination is a reversible process involving the deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) family, which regulates various cellular processes by deubiquitinizing substrates. DUBs are encoded by approximately 100 human genes and are divided into six families, the largest of which is the ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) family, comprising over 50 members. DUBs act on the ubiquitin-protease system, cleaving the isopeptide bond between lysine residues and the C-terminus of UBQ, influencing cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA damage responses, tumor suppression, development, and metastasis.

[0003] USP1 (Ubiquitin-specific protease 1) is a member of the USP family, a cysteine ​​isopeptidase containing a triplet structure of Cys90, His593, and Asp751. Human USP1 consists of 785 amino acids. USP1 itself is inactive; it only acquires full enzymatic activity after binding to the cofactor UAF1 (USP1-associated factor 1, a cofactor containing a WD40 repeat sequence that binds to and regulates USP1 activity) to form a heterodimeric complex. This complex stabilizes the replication fork, plays a role in DNA damage repair, and is located in the cell nucleus.

[0004] USP1 is highly expressed in cancers such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer, and its expression is also elevated in other cancers. USP1 overexpression is associated with BRCA1 deficiency in breast / ovarian cancer. The USP1 / UAF1 complex deubiquitinates monoubiquitinated PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) and monoubiquitinated FANCD2 (Fanconianemia group complementary group D2), both of which play important roles in the translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) and Fanconi anemia (FA) pathways, respectively. These two pathways are essential for repairing DNA damage caused by DNA cross-linking agents such as cisplatin and mitomycin C (MMC). The USP1 / UAF1 complex also deubiquitinates FANCI (Fanconi anemia complementation group I). The importance of these findings was further confirmed experimentally, namely that mice lacking USP1 are highly sensitive to DNA damage. Interestingly, USP1 expression is significantly increased in many cancers. Blocking USP1 to inhibit DNA repair can induce apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells and enhance the sensitivity of lung cancer cells to cisplatin. These findings suggest that USP1 is a promising target for chemotherapy in certain cancers.

[0005] Therefore, the development of novel USP1 inhibitors holds promise for providing entirely new options and treatment methods for a variety of malignant diseases, including cancer. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel USP1 inhibitor compound with good inhibitory activity against USP1. This type of compound exhibits good inhibitory activity against the USP1 kinase, thereby enhancing the body's immune response against various tumors. Furthermore, this type of compound can also be used to treat or prevent USP1-mediated diseases, especially cancer. This type of compound shows good inhibitory activity against various cancer cells and has good drug-like properties.

[0250] Pharmacological activity evaluation

[0251] Example 27 Biochemical detection of USP1 activity

[0252] The efficacy of the compounds of this invention against USP1 was evaluated using an in vitro kinase assay. The experiment employed the Fluorescence assay method. Compound sample powder was dissolved in DMSO to prepare a stock solution. This stock solution was diluted 100-fold to the required initial concentration and then transferred to 384-well Echo plates (Echo Qualified 384-Well Polypropylene Microplate 2.0, Clear, Flat Bottom). The compound was serially diluted to the set concentration points using an automated micropipette (Precision PRC384U). Wells on the Echo plate containing only DMSO were used for negative and positive control wells. 200 nmL of the compound was transferred from the diluted Echo 384-well plate to the 384-well reaction plate using an ultrasonic nanoliter liquid handling system (Echo550). The kinase buffer consisted of 50 mM Tirs-HCl (pH 7.8), 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.01% BSA, 0.01% Tween-20, 1 mM DTT, and ddH2O. 10 μL of reaction buffer containing His6-USP1 / His6-UAF1 was added to each of the compound wells and negative control wells in a 384-well plate. For the positive control wells, 10 μL of reaction buffer without His6-USP1 / His6-UAF1 was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. Then, 10 μL of reaction buffer containing the substrate Ubiquitin Rhodamine 110 Protein was added to each well. The final reaction volume was 20 μL. The final concentrations of each component in the reaction system were as follows: His6-USP1 / His6-UAF1 = 0.05 nM, Ubiquitin Rhodamine 110 Protein = 300 nM, and DMSO concentration = 1%. After adding the substrate solution, immediately place the reaction plate in a Paradigm microplate reader and read the signal change values ​​(Ex480 / Em540) over 30 minutes.

[0253] The inhibition percentage is calculated based on the following formula:

[0254] Inhibition rate (%) = (maximum value - sample value) / (maximum value - minimum value) × 100%.

[0255] Copy the values ​​from the ELISA reader and calculate the slope value, where the maximum value represents the negative control reading and the minimum value represents the positive control reading. Use Y = Bottom + (Top - Bottom) / (1 + (IC)) 50 The formula / X)^HillSlope) is fitted to a curve to obtain IC. 50 Value, Y is the inhibition rate, and X is the compound concentration.
