AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

While existing tubulin inhibitors, such as Plinabulin, have shown some efficacy in clinical trials, they still require combination therapy with other drugs and have issues with metabolic instability and safety. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel tubulin inhibitors that combine high activity, microtubule-specific recognition, and high safety.

Method used

Based on the parent structure of piperazine dione derived from Plinabulin, a class of 2,5-piperazine dione compounds were synthesized by altering or extending the benzene ring region and the tert-butylimidazolium region in the structure. Their structures were then optimized by Aldol condensation to obtain compounds with excellent antitumor activity.

Benefits of technology

Some compounds showed better antitumor activity than Plinabulin, improved lipophilicity and salt-forming solubility, and have good development prospects.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a class of 2,5-piperazindione compounds with antitumor activity, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Plinabulin is a diketopiperazine-based microtubule inhibitor synthesized by Hayashi et al. based on the structure of the natural product (-)-Phenylahistin isolated from marine Aspergillus pyrolyticus and its structure-activity relationship study. The Plinabulin action site is located between the α- and β-microtubule subunits, close to the colchicine action site, but not within the groove of the colchicine binding site.

[0003] Early mechanistic studies showed that plinabulin, as a vascular endothelial agent (VDA), disrupts tumor blood supply by targeting tumor vascular endothelial cell microtubules. It received Phase I clinical trial approval from the US FDA in 2006 for patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma. In 2019, the immune mechanism of plinabulin (activation of dendritic cells) was published in *Cell Reports*. This was a significant achievement resulting from six years of research by the Wanchun Pharmaceuticals research team in collaboration with Harvard Medical School and the University of Basel Medical School. This study demonstrated that plinabulin is an original drug based on a novel mechanism and a novel target (first-in-class). In June 2020, Wanchun Pharmaceuticals announced that the interim analysis of the PROTECTIVE-2 (Study 106) Phase III clinical trial of plinabulin for chemotherapy-induced severe neutropenia met its primary endpoint. Meanwhile, due to its good efficacy against CIN, Plinabulin received Breakthrough Therapy designation from both the Chinese NMPA and the US FDA in September 2020. However, it failed to gain market approval due to insufficient data from the 106 trial. In September 2024, the results of the DUBLIN-3 Phase III trial were released. Compared with docetaxel, the combination of Plinabulin / docetaxel significantly improved overall survival (OS HR = 0.81), progression-free survival (PFS HR = 0.79), objective response rate (ORR 14% vs 9%), 2-year and 3-year OS rates (median OS extension of 2.6 months in the non-squamous subgroup (11.4 vs 8.8 months), and OS benefit of 4.8 months in patients with ≥4 treatment cycles), and reduced grade 4 neutropenia by 82% (p<0.0001). The results showed that the combination group had better anti-cancer efficacy, which was clinically and statistically significant.

[0004] Although Plinabulin has shown some efficacy in clinical trials, further clinical trials involving its combination with other drugs are still needed. Therefore, in-depth research into its derivatization and structure-activity relationship is expected to yield microtubule inhibitors that possess high activity, microtubule-specific recognition, metabolic stability, and high safety. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a class of 2,5-piperazindione compounds with antitumor activity, their preparation methods, and applications. Based on the piperazindione parent structure of Plinabulin, this invention optimizes the structure by altering or extending the benzene ring and tert-butylimidazole regions, resulting in the preparation of a series of compounds. In vitro cell experiments revealed that some of these compounds exhibit superior inhibitory activity against different tumor cells compared to Plinabulin, providing a reference for the development of novel microtubule inhibitors and holding significant importance for future clinical applications.

Permeabilize with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 15 min (to enhance antibody permeability), then wash three times with PBS (5 min each time), incubate with 0.1% Tween for 5 min, and then rinse twice with PBS (5 min each time).

[0232] 4) Non-specific binding blocking: Add 5% FBS to cover the glass slide, block in a humidified chamber at 37°C for 60 min, and rinse with PBS to remove excess blocking solution.

[0233] 5) Antibody incubation system: For primary antibody reaction, dilute the primary antibody 1:100 with blocking buffer, incubate 10-20 μL / piece in a humidified chamber at 4°C overnight, and wash three times with PBS; for secondary antibody labeling, dilute the fluorescent secondary antibody 1:100 under light-protected conditions, incubate at 37°C for 60 min, and wash three times with PBS after each antibody incubation (5 min / time).

[0234] 6) Nuclear staining and mounting: Stain cell nuclei with DAPI in the dark, and seal the edges of the slide with nail polish as a mounting medium.

[0235] 7) Microscopic examination and acquisition: Observe the slides with a camera-mounted fluorescence microscope and acquire images.

[0236] Results and Analysis: The core mechanism of action of microtubule inhibitors lies in interfering with the dynamic assembly process of cellular microtubules, thereby affecting microtubule-dependent physiological activities by inhibiting spindle formation during mitosis and cytoskeleton function. In this experiment, lung cancer NCI-H460 cells were used as a model. Plinabulin (14.5 nM) and compound AC-15 (12.5 nM) were treated for 24 h. Cells were then stained with DAPI (blue fluorescent labeling of cell nuclei) and β-tubulin antibody (green fluorescent labeling of microtubules). Merge represents the overlap of DAPI and β-tubulin fluorescence. Figure 1 Lung cancer NCI-H460 cells were treated with Plinabulin (72.5 nM) and its derivative AC-15 (62.5 nM) for 24 h, followed by staining with DAPI (blue fluorescent labeling of cell nuclei) and β-tubulin antibody (green fluorescent labeling of microtubules). Merge represents the overlap of DAPI and β-tubulin fluorescence. Figure 2 ).

[0237] The test compound AC-15 and the control drug Plinabulin were compared at IC5 50 Concentrations (AC-15: 12.5 nM; Plinabulin: 14.5 nM, see...) Figure 1 ) and 5 times IC 50 Concentrations (AC-15: 62.5 nM; Plinabulin: 72.5 nM, see...) Figure 2 The microtubule inhibition effect was observed under these conditions. Fluorescence microscopy (blue-stained nuclei, green-labeled tubulin distribution) showed that untreated cells exhibited typical regular morphology, intact nuclear structure, and uniform fluorescence, with the microtubule network arranged radially in an orderly manner. In the high-concentration treatment group, cell morphology significantly changed to irregular round shapes, nuclear membrane integrity was disrupted, and the radial structure of microtubules disintegrated and its density sharply decreased, showing obvious shrinkage. In the low-concentration group, some nuclear morphology was observed to be disrupted, but no significant changes in microtubule structure were found. The experiment confirmed that both compounds AC-15 and plinabulin significantly reduced microtubule fluorescence intensity, suggesting that both can effectively inhibit the microtubule polymerization process and disrupt its normal network, with the high-concentration group showing a particularly significant effect.

[0238] Example 30: Experiment on the effect of compound AC-15 on cell cycle distribution

[0239] The cell cycle is the cyclical process by which cells complete one division and initiate the next, consisting of G1 phase (pre-DNA replication preparation), S phase (DNA synthesis), G2 phase (pre-division check phase), and M phase (mitosis phase, chromosome separation dependent on spindle traction). Microtubule inhibitors disrupt microtubule homeostasis, interfering with spindle assembly and function, thereby blocking tumor cell proliferation. This experiment uses specific fluorescent staining of DNA with propidium iodide (PI), followed by flow cytometry analysis of DNA content to perform cell cycle analysis. In this experiment, NCI-H460 cells were treated with compounds AC-15 (62.5 nM) and plinabulin (72.5 nM), and the flow cytometry results (e.g., ...) were analyzed. Figure 3 The results showed that both significantly induced G2 / M phase arrest, with the AC-15 group achieving an arrest rate of 74.34%, significantly higher than the 59.49% in the plinabulin group. This indicates that at the same concentration, the derivative AC-15 has a stronger cell cycle arrest effect. This phenomenon is consistent with the structural damage results induced by high drug concentrations in microtubule immunofluorescence, further verifying the mechanism by which the derivative AC-15 interferes with mitotic processes by inhibiting microtubule function.
