Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to a class of quinoline compounds having dual inhibitory effects on aurora kinase B and epidermal growth factor receptor and their uses. Background Art
[0002] Cancer, as one of the major global public health problems, seriously affects social development. The primary goal of cancer treatment is to inhibit the migration and proliferation of malignant tumor cells. Clinical means such as chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, and immunotherapy have been widely used.
[0003] Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors have shown good efficacy in clinical practice, especially in the treatment of cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). For patients carrying EGFR mutations (such as L858R, Exon 19 deletion mutations), EGFR inhibitors (such as gefitinib, erlotinib) usually have a remission rate of about 50 - 70% in the initial treatment stage of NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations, and the progression-free survival reaches 9 months. Although EGFR inhibitors are effective in the early stage, patients develop acquired resistance after 9 - 13 months of use. The most common resistance mechanism is the EGFR T790M mutation. The research and development of specific inhibitors based on resistant targets is one of the key ways to improve the survival rate of malignant tumor patients. The third-generation EGFR inhibitor osimertinib designed for the EGFR T790M mutation can form a covalent bond between its acrylamide group and the cysteine residue C797 in the ATP-binding pocket of the EGFR T790M mutation, and this binding is irreversible; the molecular skeleton of osimertinib has good flexibility and can adapt to the steric hindrance limitation of the ATP-binding pocket after the T790M mutation. Therefore, the remission rate of osimertinib is 80%, and the progression-free survival is 18.9 months. Unfortunately, however, some patients develop other resistance mechanisms (such as the C797S mutation) after use, resulting in a reduced treatment effect.
[0004] Aurora kinase B (Aurora-B) is a serine-threonine kinase that is mainly involved in chromosome condensation, segregation, and cytokinesis. During cell division, Aurora-B is located at the metaphase spindle and helps separate two daughter cells when cytokinesis is completed. Due to its importance for chromosome stability and the cell division process, abnormal activation or overexpression often leads to changes in chromosome number and structure, causing cells to lose control during mitosis. This chromosomal instability usually results in cell malignant transformation. Aneuploid cells, which mean cells containing abnormal numbers of chromosomes, are found in 90% of human malignant tumor cells and may be caused by functional defects such as mitotic checkpoints and chromosomal cohesion, and these defects have all been found to be related to the overexpression of Aurora-B. Therefore, Aurora-B has been established as a target for cancer treatment. Studies have found that knocking down Aurora-B expression inhibits the activation of the mTOR / ULK1 pathway, stimulates autophagy in osteosarcoma cells, and inhibits their metastasis and proliferation. Further research has found that in drug-resistant tumor cells, Aurora-B promotes the development of drug resistance in malignant tumor cells through multiple pathways: 1. The CDK7-Aurora-B pathway is upregulated in two types of AML cells resistant to FTL3 inhibitors, and Aurora-B and cyclin-dependent kinases 2 / 4 / 6 together slow down cell metabolic activities, thus enhancing the adaptability to FTL3 inhibitors; 2. Aurora-B and MYC activate each other to enhance the proliferative ability of malignant tumors; 3. Aurora-B inhibits apoptosis in malignant tumor cells through the AKT / PI3K pathway; and in the above studies, the combination of Aurora-B inhibitors restores the drug sensitivity of tumor cells and effectively improves the drug resistance of tumor cells. Given the multi-faceted connection between Aurora-B and drug resistance, the development of multi-target small molecule drugs targeting Aurora-B provides new possibilities for improving tumor drug resistance.
[0005] So far, corresponding drug resistance mechanisms have been found for the first to third generation single-target EGFR inhibitors in clinical practice. The inhibition of only a single pathway will promote the activation of related pathways, suggesting that when treating tumors with complex pathogenic mechanisms, a treatment strategy that simultaneously inhibits multiple targets should be chosen. Through literature research, it has been found that the EGFR inhibitor pelitinib, the Aurora-B inhibitor AL8326, and anlotinib all have a quinoline as the core structure. Therefore, in this study, quinoline was used as the molecular backbone, and through computer-aided drug design methods, the reasonable design and modification of quinoline substituents were carried out to construct quinoline-based Aurora-B / EGFR dual-target inhibitors.
[0006] Accordingly, the objective of the present invention is to provide quinoline-derived dual inhibitors of Aurora-B / EGFR, which have improved selectivity for osimertinib-resistant non-small cell lung cancer malignancies. Summary of the Invention

[0055] Experimental materials: EGFR was purchased from Carna, adenosine triphosphate, MgCl2 and MnCl2 were purchased from Sigma, and the EGFR detection kit was purchased from Revvity. The Aurora-B IC 50 was tested on behalf of BioDuro-Sundia (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd.
[0056] According to the instructions of the HTRF kinEASE TK / STK kit, prepare the stock solutions of TK / STK-Substrate-biotin, streptavidin-XL665, TK / STK antibody-cryptate, and EGFR / Aurora-B. Dilute each kinase stock solution with 1-fold kinase buffer as needed to prepare working solutions with the concentrations required for the enzymatic steps. Each test compound was diluted with 1-fold kinase buffer to ensure that the DMSO concentration in the solution was ≤2%, and then serially diluted 8 times by a factor of 3 to generate 9 concentration gradients in the enzymatic step, with each working concentration being 2.5 times the final concentration (range: 10 μM). The measurements were performed in white 96-well microplates using blanks and control compounds.
[0057] Calculate the ratio of the two fluorescence intensities. The inhibition rate of each compound against the kinase at a given concentration is expressed as (Ratio 待测化合物 -RatioHigh Control ) / (Ratio Low Control - Ratio High Control ), where Ratio Low Control and Ratio High Control are the release rates of the negative control well and the blank control well, respectively. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration value (IC 50 ) of each compound was determined from the dose-response curve obtained by GraphPad Prism9 software.
[0058] Table 1 IC 50
[0059] of the compounds against Aurora-B and EGFR 50 As shown in Table 1, a total of 8 target compounds were synthesized for the current compounds. After structural confirmation and purity verification, the inhibitory activities of the 8 target compounds and anlotinib against Aurora-B and EGFR were determined using homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) technology. For EGFR, the inhibition rates of the series of compounds showed varying degrees of decrease compared with anlotinib. Among them, the inhibitory activities of 14, 15, 16, 18, and 20 against Aurora-B were superior to anlotinib, and the IC
[0060] of 16 was 0.833 μM.
[0061] Example 15: The CCK-8 method (Cell Counting Kit-8) was used in this experiment to detect the in vitro cell anti-proliferation activity of the target compounds.
[0062] Construction of drug-resistant cells: The osimertinib-resistant strain H1975 was induced and established by the method of continuous induction with low concentration increment to ensure that the H1975 cell line could still grow at an osimertinib drug concentration of 5 μM. The drug-resistant strain showed characteristics of slow proliferation, less apoptosis, high migration, and invasion ability.
[0063] Preparation of complete medium: The proportion of the complete medium for osimertinib-resistant H1975 cells was 89% basal medium + 10% fetal bovine serum + 1% penicillin-streptomycin double antibody.
[0064] Dilution of the compound solution: Prepare a stock solution of the drug to be tested at an equal concentration of 20 mM. Add the required volume of dimethyl sulfoxide. To ensure complete dissolution, ultrasonic, vortex, heating and other means can be used to accelerate dissolution. When in use, dilute it to concentrations such as 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 μM with complete medium in a laminar flow hood, mix well and set aside.
[0065] Seeding plates: Take tumor cells in the logarithmic growth phase, digest them with trypsin, remove the old medium after centrifugation; add 1 mL of complete medium and resuspend. Take 10 μL of the cell suspension into a new EP tube, dilute it with 90 μL of complete medium, transfer it to a cell counting plate, count the cells, and adjust the cell concentration to 5x10 4 / mL, inoculate 100 μL per well into a 96-well plate; place the 96-well plate in a cell incubator at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for 24 hours until the cells adhere to the wall; Adding drugs: Aspirate the old medium, wash once with PBS, and then add the pre-prepared drug solutions of each concentration at 100 μL per well to the 96-well plate. Set 3 replicates for each concentration. The control group adds an equal volume of complete medium containing 1‰ DMSO and continue to culture in the cell incubator for 24 hours; Adding CCK-8 reagent: Aspirate the old medium, wash once with PBS, and add 100 μL of basal medium + 10 μL of CCK8 reagent to each well in a light-proof environment. Cover with tin foil and continue to incubate in the incubator for 2 hours; Measure the OD value at 450 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader.
[0066] Experimental data processing Calculate the cell growth inhibition rate according to the following formula: Inhibition rate = 1 - [(experimental group - blank group) / (control group - blank group)] * 100% Based on the inhibition rates of the drug on the cell proliferation rate at different concentrations, fit the IC of the compound through GraphPad Prism 8 software 50 curve and obtain the IC 50 value.
[0067] Table 2 Inhibition rates of the compound on osimertinib-resistant NSCLC cells
[0068] As shown in the results of Table 2, compound 20 exhibited the most significant inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 2.47 μM, significantly superior to other compounds. Compounds 17 (8.83 μM) and 16 (11.53 μM) also showed moderate activity, while the IC50 values of the remaining compounds (such as 13, 18, etc.) were mostly distributed in the range of 13 - 15 μM. Compound 20 was superior to compound 5b (2.83 ± 0.24 μM) designed by Kshipra S. Karnik et al. ( Bioorganic Chemistry 107 (2021) 104612 ); The structural formula of compound 5b is as follows: .
[0069] Example 16 We compared the quinoline derivatives disclosed in Example 17 of the prior art (publication number: CN1446212A, publication date: October 1, 2003) and the molecular docking binding situation of Example 17 with Aurora-B (as Figure 1 shown). It can be seen that there are only two hydrogen bond binding interactions between this compound and Aurora-B, which is less than the number of hydrogen bond bindings of anlotinib and compounds 14, 16, etc. of the present invention. In addition, the results of our in vitro enzyme activity experiments showed that when the carbon chain length of the side chain at the 7th position of the quinoline compound was 3, it would affect the stability of the hydrogen bond binding interaction with ARG81, resulting in a decrease in the inhibitory activity of the small molecule against Aurora-B.
