Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to a PRMT5 inhibitor compound, its stereoisomers, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and also relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound as an active ingredient and its pharmaceutical use in the treatment of diseases, disorders, syndromes or afflictions related to the PRMT5 enzyme. Background Art
[0002] Arginine methylation is a type of histone methylation and one of the most common post-translational modifications in mammals, mainly regulated by the PRMT gene family. Arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) regulate arginine methylation in three different forms: monomethylarginine (MMA), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) methylation. There are a total of 9 PRMTs in mammals, which are divided into three types: type I (PRMT1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8; mainly catalyzing the formation of MMA and ADMA), type II (PRMT5, 9; mainly catalyzing the formation of MMA and SDMA), and type III (PRMT7; mainly catalyzing the formation of MMA). PRMTs can methylate histones and a variety of non-histones. Studies have shown that changes in the enzymatic activity of PRMTs, gene mutations or deletions usually lead to abnormal development of animal individuals, and at the same time induce the occurrence, development or metastasis of cancer. Among many PRMTs, especially the role of PRMT5 in cancer has been increasingly confirmed and has received the most attention.
[0003] Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is a typical type II methyltransferase that transfers a methyl group from SAM to the two ω-guanidino nitrogen atoms of arginine, resulting in ω-NG, NG-disymmetric methylation of the protein substrate. It is located in the nucleus and cytoplasm and plays different functions by modifying histones or non-histones. As an epigenetic enzyme, the most attractive aspect of PRMT5 is the "synthetic lethality" mechanism.
[0004] The so-called synthetic lethality means that for two genes in a cell, when any one of them is mutated or does not function alone, it will not cause cell death; while when both are mutated or cannot be expressed, it will lead to cell death. Using this principle, selective killing of tumor cells can be achieved without affecting normal somatic cells.
[0005] In 2016, two articles published in *Science* first reported the "synthetic lethality" effect of inhibiting PRMT5 in MTAP-deficient tumors. The gene that forms synthetic lethality with PRMT5 is methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP), which is a tumor suppressor gene and is often deleted in tumors. Patients with MTAP deletion account for approximately 15% of all solid tumors, including approximately 15% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 28% of esophageal cancer, 26% of bladder cancer, and 10% of esophagogastric cancer.
[0006] In addition to the synthetic lethality effect, PRMT5 also participates in DNA repair, cell cycle, and transcriptional regulation through methylation modification of the substrate arginine, and has a crucial impact on various cellular functions. Currently, the research on small molecule inhibitors of PRMT5 has become a hot topic in anti-tumor drug development.
[0007] The results of clinical trials of most first-generation PRMT5 inhibitors entering clinical trials are generally not ideal: Clinical studies have shown that GSK-3326595 has responses to various tumor types. However, 89% of the participants reported adverse events, including anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and fatigue. The phase I clinical trial of JNJ-64619178 showed that intermittent dosing had a maintaining target inhibition effect on cancer patients. In contrast, JNJ-64619178 showed limited / no efficacy in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. Most patients treated with JNJ-64619178 had adverse events, including thrombocytopenia, anemia, and nausea. PF-06939999, as a PRMT5 inhibitor, had an objective tumor response in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and non-small cell lung cancer. Cytopenia was observed in clinical trials, and they were dose-dependent and reversible dose modifications. The clinical trials of the above PRMT5 inhibitors seem to have been halted.
[0008] In fact, except for the project of Prelude Therapeutics, most active projects are dedicated to second-generation PRMT5 inhibitors, namely PRMT5-MTA inhibitors. In cancer cells lacking MTAP, MTA replaces SAM to bind to PRMT5, forming an inactive PRMT5-MTA complex. Second-generation PRMT5 inhibitors bind to the PRMT5-MTA complex, killing cancer cells lacking MTAP while sparing normal cells. This property allows second-generation PRMT5 inhibitors to more specifically target MTAP-deficient cancer cells and may reduce the incidence of adverse events.
[0009] Currently, the second-generation PRMT5 inhibitors that have been reported and entered the clinical phase I / II study include MRTX-1719, SKL-27969, TNG-908, TNG-462, AMG-193, etc., but no drugs have been marketed yet; documents such as WO2022132914 and WO2022115377 disclose PRMT5 inhibitors.

[0315] Experimental Example 1: Test for the Binding Ability of the Compounds of the Present Invention to PRMT5 Protein
[0316] Experimental Purpose: To detect the binding ability of the compound to PRMT5 protein by the CETSA experimental method
[0317] Background Principle: The CETSA experiment is a molecular detection method for measuring the affinity of a drug for a target protein. The principle is that after the drug binds to the target protein, its structure becomes more stable. When using a cell or tissue sample treated with a candidate drug, if the candidate drug is an inhibitor of PRMT5, then the candidate drug can bind to PRMAT5, making the PRMT5 protein more stable. After heating the sample, the PRMT5 protein in the sample will be more easily detected by a specific antibody, and the PRMT5 protein will be more easily detected by Western blot; conversely, after heating, the stability of the PRMT5 protein will be worse, and the amount of protein detected will be lower. Thus, the binding ability of the drug to the target protein is evaluated for the screening of PRMT5 protein inhibitors.
[0318] Specific experimental procedures: HCT116 cells in the logarithmic growth phase (cell viability > 90%) were taken, washed 3 times with PBS, and centrifuged at 2000g for 2 min; lysed on ice for 30 min with cell lysis buffer containing protease inhibitor PMSF; the protein concentration of the protein sample was measured using a BCA kit. The samples were incubated with the candidate drug, control drug, and control reagent for 30 min respectively, and heated at about 10 set temperature points for each group of samples; restored to room temperature, centrifuged the samples at 20000g, and collected the supernatant; the protein samples were heated and denatured at 100 °C for 10 min using sample buffer. After the samples were restored to room temperature, western blot detection was performed on the samples; the protein loading amount was controlled at 20 μg. After determining the mutation temperature, the compound was set with a concentration gradient of generally 9 points, the samples were incubated, and the above operations were performed for western blot detection. Protein electrophoresis: The voltage of the stacking gel was set at 60 v, and the voltage of the separating gel was set at 120 v; after electrophoresis, electrotransfer was started. The electrotransfer conditions were set at 250 mA for 2 h; blocked with 5% BSA for 1 h; added with specific primary antibody and incubated overnight on a shaker at 4 °C; washed 4 times with TBST, 2.5 min each time; incubated with secondary antibody on a shaker at room temperature for 1 h; washed 4 times with TBST, 2.5 min each time; developed using ECL to detect the PRMT5 protein expression levels at different groups and each temperature point. The western blot bands were processed by image J and GraphPad software to calculate the EC 50 value.
[0319] EC50, the half-maximal effective concentration, refers to the drug concentration that can cause 50% of individuals to be effective. The PRMT5 inhibitors TNG908 and TNG462 were used as positive reference compounds, and the preparation method was referred to the examples in the patent document WO2022026892.

[0321] Experimental Example 2: Determination of the effect of the compound of the present invention on the proliferation of HCT116 MTAP- / - cells
[0322] Experimental purpose: The purpose of this test example is to test the effect of the compound on the proliferation of HCT116 MTAP- / - cells.
[0323] Background principle: Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) can methylate a variety of proteins and plays an important role in biological processes such as gene expression, splicing, and DNA damage repair. Methionine adenosylphosphate phosphorylase (MTAP) is often co-deleted with the common tumor suppressor gene CDKN2A in the body, and the proportion of this co-deletion in tumors can reach 9% - 15%. It has been found that inhibiting PRMT5 has a synthetic lethal effect in MTAP-deficient tumors. Therefore, by detecting the inhibition rate of the compound on the proliferation of HCT116 MTAP- / - cells, it can be used for the screening of PRMT5 protein inhibitors.
[0324] Specific experimental procedure:
[0325] Construct HCT116 MTAP knockout cells and screen monoclonal cells. HCT116 MTAP - / - and WT cells in the logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into 96-well plates, 90 μL per well, 1000 cells per well, and left standing overnight in a 37°C incubator. The next day, 10 μL of compounds with different concentrations were added, with the highest concentration being 100 μM, diluted 10-fold, with 9 gradients (the final concentration of DMSO was 1%), and incubated in a 37°C incubator for 7 days. On the 7th day, the old culture medium was aspirated, and 110 μL of culture medium (the ratio of culture medium to CCK8 was 100:10) was added and incubated at 37°C for 1 - 4 h. The absorbance was measured at 450 nM, and the IC50 was calculated by processing with GraphPad software. By comparing with the positive drug, the compound was screened.
[0326] IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) refers to the half inhibitory concentration of the measured antagonist. It can indicate the half amount of a certain drug or substance (inhibitor) in inhibiting certain biological procedures (or certain substances included in this procedure, such as enzymes, cell receptors, or microorganisms). The compounds TNG908 and TNG462 described above were used as positive reference compounds. The test results are shown in Table 2:
[0327] Table 2
[0328]
[0329] The test results show that the representative compounds of the present invention have good inhibitory effects on HCT116 MTAP - / - cells, comparable to or better than the positive control, while having a weak inhibitory effect on HCT116 WT cells and having excellent selectivity.
[0330] Experimental example 3: Test of the inhibitory effect of the compounds of the present invention on the function of PRMT5 enzyme
[0331] Experimental purpose: To detect the inhibitory effect of compounds on the function of PRMT5 enzyme by MTase-Glo method
[0332] Background principle: The gene that constitutes synthetic lethality with PRMT5 is MTAP (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase). MTAP is involved in the metabolism of 2-methylthioadenosine (MTA) and regenerates methionine required for the synthesis of SAM. The deletion of MTAP gene causes the accumulation of MTA in cells, and MTA competes with the substrate S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) of PRMT5, resulting in a decrease in PRMT5 activity. Based on the MTase-Glo method, taking advantage of the property that the methyltransferase (PRMT5) provides a methyl group from SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) to the substrate to generate SAH, the PRMT5 methyltransferase activity test experiment is carried out in the presence or absence of MTA to screen for selective PRMT5 inhibitors
[0333] Specific experimental procedure:
[0334] The MTase-Glo methyltransferase fluorescence method was used to monitor the conversion of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) by the recombinant PRMT5:MEP50 enzyme complex in the presence or absence of 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA). The enzymatic reaction was carried out in a white 96-well plate. The reaction buffer contained 20 mM bicine (pH 7.60), 25 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, and 0.1% (w / v) CHAPS. The test compounds and positive control were prepared, diluted 10-fold, with 9 concentration gradients and 3 replicates, and the highest concentration was 100 μM. In the absence of MTA, the compounds were incubated with the reaction mixture containing 1 nM recombinant PRMT5:MEP50 enzyme complex, 2.5 μM H41-21 histone peptide, and 2.5 μM S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) for the experiment. Similarly, in the presence of MTA, the compounds were incubated with the mixture composed of 2 nM enzyme complex, 1.5 μM MTA, 2.5 μM H41-21 histone peptide, and 2.5 μM SAM. After incubation at room temperature for 5 h, the reaction was terminated by adding TFA to each well. Subsequently, 5X MTase-GloTM reagent was added to each well and incubated at room temperature to convert SAH generated in the reaction into ADP. After 10 min, MTase-Glo detection solution was added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 30 min, and then detected by a microplate reader
[0335] IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) refers to the half-inhibitory concentration of the antagonist being measured. It can indicate the half amount of a certain drug or substance (inhibitor) in inhibiting certain biological processes (or certain substances included in this process, such as enzymes, cell receptors, or microorganisms). Using the compounds TNG908 and MRTX1719 described above as positive reference compounds, the test results are shown in Table 3:
[0336] Table 3
[0337]
[0338] The results show that the compounds of the present invention have a very strong inhibitory effect on the function of PRMT5 protease, and the IC50 values all reach the nM level, equivalent to or less than the positive drug. This strong inhibitory effect has important therapeutic significance for the treatment of diseases or disorders related to PRMT5 inhibition.
