Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an Aurora A protein degrader, specifically, an HSP90-based Aurora A protein degrader. The present invention also relates to an HSP90-based Aurora A protein degrader, a preparation method, and an application thereof, belonging to the technical field of targeted drugs. Background Art
[0002] Aurora kinases are a class of serine / threonine kinases, encompassing three isoforms: Aurora A, B, and C. Aurora kinases are essential for mitosis, participating in processes such as centrosome maturation and separation, spindle assembly and stability, chromosome condensation, and midplate polymerization. Aurora A kinase is highly expressed in breast, colon, pancreatic, bladder, ovarian, and prostate cancers, and is associated with poor prognosis. Designing targeted anti-tumor drugs targeting Aurora A kinase activity holds significant clinical value.
[0003] Aurora A can bind to c-MYC and N-MYC oncoproteins, thereby protecting them from proteasomal degradation in a non-catalytic manner (Otto T et al. Cancer Cell, 2009, 15(1):67; Dauch D et al. Nat Med, 2016, 22(7):744). The Aurora A inhibitor MLN-8237 can slightly reduce N-MYC protein levels in the treatment of N-MYC-expressing neuroblastoma, but this effect is relatively limited. Clinically, MLN-8237 has poor efficacy in patients with N-MYC-amplified neuroblastoma (Gustafson W C et al. Cancer Cell, 2014, 26(3):414).
[0004] In addition, Aurora A can stabilize spindle microtubules and induce a stem-like phenotype in breast cancer cells, promoting cell resistance (Toya M et al. Nat Cell Biol, 2011, 13(6):708; Zheng F et al. Nat Commun, 2016, 7(1):10180), indicating that Aurora A kinase inhibitors may not completely eliminate the kinase-independent oncogenic function. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies that can effectively disrupt both the kinase-dependent and -independent effects of Aurora A.
[0005] To overcome this problem, using PROTACs (Proteolysis targeting chimeras) to degrade AuroraA is a feasible method. PROTACs are bifunctional molecules that contain three parts: a ligand for the target protein (POI), a linker, and an E3 ubiquitin ligase that recruits the ligand. PROTACs induce POI to approach the E3 ligase to form a ternary complex of POI-PROTAC-E3 ligase, causing POI to be ubiquitinated and degraded by the proteasome. However, PROTACs may cause POI to be promiscuously degraded in many tissues and organs, resulting in adverse side effects (Bondeson DP et al. Nat Chem Biol, 2015, 11(8):611). Therefore, it is very important to enhance the targeting ability of PROTACs.
[0006] Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), which is highly expressed in tumors, is a member of the HSP protein family with a molecular weight of 90 kDa. HSP90 is overactivated and abnormally expressed in tumor cells induced by some oncogenes and their products, and is involved in tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, etc. Approximately 30% of E3 ligases in the human body bind to HSP90 (Taipale M et al. Cell, 2012, 150(5):987). This provides a theoretical basis for the strategy of targeting Aurora A kinase degradation mediated by HSP90. At the same time, HSP90 stabilizes Aurora A in tumor cells, maintains high expression of Aurora A, helps tumor cells adapt to adverse environments, and enhances their resistance to treatment. Studies have shown that the HSP90 inhibitor 17-AAG effectively reduces Aurora A levels in HEL and HCT-116 in a dose-dependent manner (Wang F et al. Hematol Oncol, 2023, 41(3):474; Park JH et al. J Mol Med, 2008, 86:117).
[0007] In recent years, researchers have proposed a combined therapy approach that simultaneously inhibits Aurora A and HSP90 to treat breast cancer and acute megakaryocytic leukemia (Fiskus W et al. Breast Cancer Res Tr, 2012, 135:433; Wang Fet al. Hematol Oncol, 2023, 41(3):474). However, combined inhibition of Aurora A and HSP90 can only inhibit protein function, rather than eliminate the protein itself, which can easily lead to drug resistance, especially target mutations or pathway activation. In contrast, PROTACs can mark and completely degrade the target protein, making it less likely to produce residual function or restore activity.
[0008] Chinese patent CN 112062768 A discloses a small molecule with Aurora kinase degradation activity, its preparation method and application. This scheme selects three E3 ubiquitin ligase recruiting ligands, CRBN, cIAP and VHL, and the Aurora A inhibitor MLN-8237, and obtains 12 Aurora-A protein degraders through linker connection. However, the activity of the degraders is still not ideal, and the types of E3 ubiquitin ligase ligands tried are also limited. Summary of the Invention

[0182] In order to prove the effect of the technical solution provided by this application, the following is the activity verification experiment and results of the compound provided by this application.
[0183] 1. Antiproliferative activity against tumor cells
[0184] The anti-tumor effects of the compounds of the present invention were evaluated by screening activity at a concentration of 10 μM in five malignant tumor cell lines (including the cervical cancer cell line Hela, the breast cancer cell line MCF7, the chronic myeloid leukemia K562, the T lymphocytic leukemia Jurkat, and the lung cancer cell line A549) (Table 1). The compounds showed inhibitory advantages in the A549 (lung cancer) and MCF7 (breast cancer) cell lines, with flexible linkers containing 14-15 atoms showing better inhibitory effects.

[0188] (a) Mean, n=3; (b) MLN-8237 and BIIB021 were mixed at a ratio of 0.5:0.5 to obtain a mixture of 1 for combined use.
[0189] 2. Inhibitory effect on tumor cells and drug-resistant tumor cells
[0190] The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of XH series compounds on non-resistant tumor cells MCF7 and A549, as well as resistant tumor cells A549 / PTX was evaluated. 50 ), the results are shown in Table 2. The anti-tumor activity of the XH series compounds is generally better than that of the positive drug MLN-8237. Among them, XH-14 has the best inhibitory effect on A549, IC 50 The value is 0.294μM, which is nearly 3 times higher than that of MLN-8237.
[0191] Phase II clinical drug MLN-8237 showed certain activity in some clinical trials, but had a low objective response rate (ORR), especially in children and adolescents, where the ORR was less than 5% for monotherapy; in the treatment of resistant breast cancer, despite partial remission, disease progression (PD) was still the main reason for discontinuation. Existing PROTACs targeting Aurora A have a good inhibitory effect on non-resistant tumors, but their efficacy in resistant cells has not yet been clarified. The inventors evaluated the IC of a new PROTAC designed based on the HSP90 / E3 complex on resistant cells using a paclitaxel-resistant NSCLC cell model. 50The XH series of protein degraders demonstrated superior antitumor activity compared to the active drug MLN-8237 in the A549 / PTX-resistant tumor model, suggesting that protein degradation strategies have more potent tumor-killing effects than simple inhibition. However, degraders did not show significant advantages over combination therapy, possibly due to limited bioavailability caused by their inherent physicochemical properties and impaired drug uptake and enhanced efflux caused by overexpression of ABC transporters in drug-resistant tumor cells.

[0196] 3. Determination of Aurora A kinase degradation effect of XH-14
[0197] The degradation effect of XH-14 series compounds on Aurora A kinase in MCF7 and A549 cells was determined by Western blot. Figure 11 ,in, Figure 11 (A) Endogenous Aurora A protein levels in MCF7 cells after 6 hours; (B) Endogenous Aurora A protein levels in A549 cells after 6 hours; (C) Concentration-dependent expression of Aurora A protein in cells after 6 hours of XH-14 treatment; Half-maximal degradation concentration (DC) of A549 cells after 6 hours of XH series compound treatment 50 Value Reference Figure 12 It can be seen that in A549 cells, XH-14 has the best degradation effect on Aurora A at 0.5 μM. The maximum degradation ability of XH series compounds on Aurora A protein in A549 cells is D max Value Reference Figure 13 , it can be seen that DC 50 120nM, D max It is 91.5%.
[0198] 4. Verification of XH-14-induced ternary complex formation
[0199] The core mechanism of the ubiquitination process lies in the formation of a stable ternary complex, in which the synergistic binding of the target protein, PROTAC, and E3 ligase is the key to achieving selective degradation. Taking XH-14 as an example, the endogenous Aurora A protein complex was successfully captured through immunoprecipitation experiments with alpaca-derived nanomagnetic beads, and HSP90 protein was detected in the complex precipitate. The specific coprecipitation of HSP90 confirmed that XH-14 can induce the formation of the HSP90 / E3-XH-14-Aurora A ternary complex ( Figure 14 ), where (A) Compound XH-14 induces the formation of an HSP90 / E3-XH-14-Aurora A ternary complex in MCF7 cells; (B) Compound XH-14 induces the formation of an HSP90 / E3-XH-14-Aurora A ternary complex in A549 cells. It can be seen that this complex recruits E3 ubiquitin ligases to promote ubiquitination of Aurora A, ultimately leading to its degradation by the proteasome. This reveals the dynamic process of PROTAC-mediated target protein degradation at the molecular level.
