Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a pyrrolidine derivative and its application in medicine. Background Art
[0002] Mammalian cells primarily repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), homologous recombination (HR), and microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ or alt-EJ) pathways to ensure genomic stability. DNA polymerase theta (Polθ or POLQ) is a key component of the MMEJ pathway and is involved in DNA double-strand break repair.
[0003] Polθ is one of 15 DNA polymerases in the human genome, consisting of a C-terminal family A DNA polymerase and an N-terminal superfamily 2 (SF2) type DNA helicase, separated by a long and poorly conserved central domain of unknown function.
[0004] Pol θ is barely expressed in normal tissues but is highly expressed in a variety of tumor types, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, HNSCC, and lung cancer. When DNA end resection occurs, in the presence of BRCA2, BRCA2 not only recruits the recombinase RAD51 to the DSB to promote HR, but also inhibits repair pathways such as MMEJ. When homologous recombination-mediated repair is impaired (HR deficiency), such as in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, Pol θ is highly expressed and directs DSB repair toward alt-EJ, initiating the DNA repair process of MMEJ. In the case of HR deficiency, inhibition of Pol θ leads to cell death through the accumulation of toxic RAD51 intermediates and inhibition of the alt-EJ repair pathway (Jia Zhou, et al. A first-in-class polymerase theta inhibitor selectively targets homologous-recombination-deficient tumors. Nature Cancer, 2021: 598–610).
[0005] Polθ is therefore an attractive novel synthetic lethality therapeutic target in cancers with DNA repair defects. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present invention aims to provide a new pyrrolidine derivative having an inhibitory effect on Polθ and its application in preparing antitumor drugs.
