Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, particularly to the field of pharmaceutical chemical synthesis, and specifically refers to a polymethoxy high isoflavone derivative, its pharmaceutical composition and its application. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the main means of treating tumors clinically are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Although it can extend the survival period of patients to a certain extent, its toxic and side effects make the quality of life of patients relatively poor. Traditional Chinese medicine has a unique advantage in anti-tumor because it can regulate the body's own immunity and has few adverse reactions.
[0003] Citrus has the effects of regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, and drying dampness and resolving phlegm. Citrus flavonoids (polymethoxyflavones) are mainly present in the outer skin of citrus fruits and have multiple biological functions, such as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-tumor and immune enhancement. It is safe and non-toxic and has been widely used in medicine, food processing and other aspects. And more and more studies show that citrus flavonoids have good anti-tumor activity, including lymphocytic leukemia, liver cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc. The anti-tumor mechanism mainly includes directly inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells, inducing apoptosis of tumor cells, inhibiting the metastasis of cancer cells, inhibiting angiogenesis, etc.
[0004] Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are a class of flavonoid components with multiple methoxy groups, low polarity, planar structure and strong biological activity. In 1991, the European Committee for Standardization defined PMFs as a class of flavonoids with a methoxy group number ≥ 4. The currently discovered PMFs components mainly include tangeretin, nobiletin, sinensetin, etc. and their derivatives. The structural formulas of tangeretin, nobiletin and sinensetin are shown as follows:
[0005]
[0006] Naturally occurring polymethoxyflavonoid compounds have certain disadvantages in anti-tumor: lack of strong specificity, generally low activity, etc. Taking the molecular skeleton of polymethoxyflavonoid compounds as a structural model, through structural modification and transformation, highly active molecules have attracted the attention of many researchers. The polymethoxy A-ring structure of citrus flavonoids is relatively unique among natural product flavonoids. Currently, only this type of compound has this structure. Therefore, the A-ring polymethoxy structure type is retained in the later new drug design.
[0007] Homoisoflavonoids are a subclass of flavonoid natural products. Compared with flavones and isoflavones, the number of homoisoflavonoid natural products is relatively small. The 16-carbon skeleton in their molecular structure has one more carbon (C9) than that of flavones and isoflavones, and includes two aromatic rings and one oxygen-containing heterocyclic ring. The structural formulas of flavones, isoflavones, and homoisoflavones are as follows:
[0008]
[0009] The structures of such natural products are not planar structures, and their water solubility is greater than that of flavonoid compounds. Summary of the Invention

[0065] Melanoma accounts for less than 5% of all skin cancers, but is the main cause of skin cancer deaths. Melanoma has attracted increasing attention. However, the uncertainty of its targets has led to the inability of its therapeutic drugs to delay the progression of the disease, and only symptomatic treatment is available. After a large number of literature investigations, citrus flavonoids have the characteristics of simple synthesis and good activity and can be used as multi-target drugs, which have attracted our research interest. The B ring of polymethoxy citrus flavonoids has various polymethoxy forms. Among them, in order to simplify the synthesis and save costs, we selected the flavone structure with 6,7,8-trimethoxy structure as the lead compound for structure optimization, hoping to obtain flavonoid compounds with novel structures and further improved activities. According to the synthesis of three compound libraries and the activity tests of 48 compounds, the polymethoxy high isoflavone structure has strong activity in inhibiting melanoma A375 cells. Through cell cycle experiments, it was found that such compounds have obvious arrest on the G2 / M phase of the melanoma cell cycle. Animal experiments showed that compound FD-A6 could significantly inhibit the growth of tumors in tumor-bearing mice. Finally, it can be seen from the results of the tubulin polymerization experiment that polymethoxy high isoflavone compounds inhibit tubulin polymerization. Based on the above experiments, the high isoflavone FD-A6 compound showed the most prominent performance. Description of the Drawings

[0186] (2) Experimental instruments
[0187] Except for the flow cytometer: Agilent Technologies Co., Ltd., the other instruments used are the same as those in the CCK-8 experiment.
[0188] (3) Preparation of main solutions
[0189] The preparation of the A375 cell culture medium is the same as that in the CCK-8 experiment.
[0190] (4) Experimental methods
[0191] 1) The method of cell culture is the same as the operation in Example 4.
[0192] 2) After 24 h, the treatment concentrations of the high isoflavone FD-A6 are set to be 0.2 μM, 0.4 μM, 0.8 μM, and 1.6 μM respectively. Calculate the volumes of the 0.8 mM high isoflavone FD-A6 stock solution added at each concentration to be 0.5 μL, 1 μL, 2 μL, and 4 μL. Add the corresponding volumes of DMSO and the high isoflavone FD-A6 stock solution to the corresponding wells. Then place the cell plate after adding the drug into a cell culture incubator at 37 °C containing 5% CO2 and culture for 24 h.
[0193] 3) Take out A375 cells and observe the cell morphology and cell viability under a microscope. Use a pipette to add 500 μL of PBS solution to the culture dish from which the culture medium has been aspirated for washing. After shaking well, use a pipette to remove the PBS. Add 300 μL of trypsin solution to the culture medium, shake it left and right for 3 - 4 circles, and then place the culture medium in a cell incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for digestion for 30 s. Use a pipette to add 500 μL of PBS solution to the culture dish from which the culture medium has been aspirated for washing. After shaking well, use a pipette to remove the PBS. Add 300 μL of trypsin solution to the culture medium, shake it left and right for 3 - 4 circles, and then place the culture medium in a cell incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for digestion for 30 s. Add 300 μL of PBS solution and use a pipette to pipette the cell pellet into a single-cell suspension. Then place each centrifuge tube on a vortex mixer and add 700 μL of ethanol dropwise while hanging in the air. Place the centrifuge tube flat in a -20 °C refrigerator for fixation for 24 hours.
[0194] 4) Turn on the centrifuge in advance and pre-cool it to 4 °C. Take out the cells fixed at -20 °C for 24 hours and centrifuge them at 500 g for 5 min. After centrifugation is completed, use a pipette to aspirate the supernatant, add 1 mL of PBS for resuspension, centrifuge at 500 g for 3 min, aspirate the supernatant after centrifugation, add another 500 μL of PBS for resuspension, and store it on ice. Use a pipette to add 2.5 μL of RNase (RNA enzyme) to each centrifuge tube respectively, mix well and then place it in an incubator at 37 °C for incubation for 15 min. Subsequently, add 25 μL of propidium iodide (PI) respectively, mix well, and incubate in the dark at room temperature for 15 min. After filtering through a microporous filter membrane, transfer it to a flow cytometry sample loading tube, place it on ice and store it in the dark, and use a flow cytometer to detect the cell cycle distribution.
[0195] (5) The experimental results are as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Table 9 below show.
[0196] Table 9 Data of the number of cells in each cycle after treating A375 cells with different concentrations
[0197]
[0198] The results showed that compared with DMSO, the proportions of A375 cells in G1 phase after treatment with 200 nM, 400 nM, 800 nM, and 1600 nM FD-A6 were 47.55 ± 1.56%, 42.95 ± 1.65%, 40.65 ± 1.80%, and 31.06 ± 1.83% respectively, the proportions of cells in S phase were 27.33 ± 1.40%, 29.23 ± 1.25%, 30.13 ± 1.25%, and 28.98 ± 3.61% respectively, and the proportions of cells in G2 / M phase were 24.76 ± 0.35%, 27.69 ± 0.47%, 29.35 ± 0.70%, and 39.74 ± 2.01% respectively. This indicated that when A375 cells were treated with FD-A6, the cells were arrested in the G2 / M phase, and the higher the concentration of FD-A6, the more obvious the effect of G2 / M phase arrest.

[0201] (1) Reagent materials
[0202] 6-week-old female C57 / BL6J mice: Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.
[0203] (2) Experimental instruments
[0204] The experimental instruments used were the same as those in Example 4.
[0205] (3) Experimental method
[0206] After 5 days of adaptive cultivation of 6-week-old female C57 / BL6J mice, they were subcutaneously injected with a suspension of melanoma A375 cells (8 × 10 5 / 100 μL) prepared with PBS. When the tumor grew to 40 - 50 mm 3 , they were intraperitoneally injected with 20 mg / kg polymethoxyisoflavone FD-A6 every day, and the control group was injected with an equal amount of solvent (normal saline) for 12 consecutive days. The change in tumor volume was measured every 2 - 4 days, and the change in the body weight of the mice was monitored simultaneously. Attached Figure 7 is a graph showing the relationship between the body weight and tumor volume of the mice and the number of days of drug administration.
[0207] (4) Experimental results
[0208] As Figure 7 shown in Figure 7As shown in D, compared with the control group, there was no significant change in the body weight of mice in the polymethoxy isoflavone FD-A6 administration group; FD-A6 significantly inhibited the growth of tumors in tumor-bearing mice. After 8 days of re-administration, there was a significant difference in the tumor volume of mice in the FD-A6 administration group compared with the control group (*p < 0.05). This indicates that the polymethoxy isoflavone FD-A6 disclosed in the present invention can significantly inhibit the growth of tumors in tumor-bearing mice; while exerting an anti-tumor effect, it has no obvious effect on the body weight of tumor-bearing mice.

[0216] (3) Experimental methods
[0217] Operate according to the tubulin kit instructions, and immediately mix the experimental components (select standard, inhibitor or enhancer conditions).
[0218] ① Start the polymerization reaction: Add 5 μL of the blank control group, combretastatin positive control group (100 μM), and FD-A5 (50 μM), FD-A6 (10 μM), FD-A6 (50 μM), FD-B14 (500 μM), FD-C6 (500 μM), FD-C7 (500 μM) (both set with 2 replicates) to a 96-well plate preheated at 37°C. Place the plate back into the warm plate reader for 1 minute, but not more than 1 minute, because the 5 μL volume will evaporate rapidly.
[0219] ③ Then add 50 μL of the tubulin reaction mixture to the corresponding wells to start the polymerization reaction, and immediately place the 96-well plate into the set microplate reader to start counting. Pay attention to operating quickly, use a medium pipetting speed and place the pipette tip on the well wall. This technique avoids bubble formation, which will interfere with the absorbance reading.
[0220] ④ The fluorometer parameters are as shown in Table 10 below.

[0223] (5) Experimental results:
[0224] As Figure 8 shown, this method verified the effect of the designed and synthesized polymethoxyisoflavone compounds on microtubule polymerization. It can be seen from the polymerization curve results that both FD-A5 and FD-A6 significantly inhibited microtubule polymerization, and had a significant impact on the formation of the spindle and the final cell division process.
[0225] In this specification, the present invention has been described with reference to its specific embodiments. However, it is obvious that various modifications and variations can still be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the specification should be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive.
