Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and specifically relates to asiatic acid PROTACs and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Protein degradation targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are a new type of drug with broad prospects. Its structure is similar to a dumbbell and consists of three parts: an E3 ligase ligand (E3 ligand), a target protein ligand (POI ligand), and a linker connecting the two. One end of the PROTACs molecule binds to the target protein, and the other end binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase. The E3 ubiquitin ligase "sticks" a small protein called ubiquitin to the target protein, marking the target protein as a defective or damaged protein, and then uses the 26S proteasome in the cell to specifically recognize and degrade the marked target protein. The E3 ligand is responsible for recruiting the E3 ligase, while the POI ligand recognizes and binds to the target protein. Therefore, inside the cell, the PROTACs molecule forms a ternary complex of POI:PROTAC:E3 ligase. In the patient's body, the POI ligand of PROTACs binds to the target protein, and the E3 ligand binds to the substrate binding region of the E3 ubiquitin ligase in the cell. The target protein is "pulled" to the side of the E3 ubiquitin ligase through the Linker, and the target protein is degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome (UPS) system. PROTACs molecules do not need to be highly chimeric with the highly active region of the target. They can achieve degradation of the target molecule through weak binding interactions with low bond energy such as some special intermolecular forces. Because PROTACs-mediated protein degradation has a unique driving model and huge therapeutic potential, this technology is currently mainly used in drug development, and some PROTACs have entered the clinical trial stage.
[0003] PROTAC drugs have many advantages over traditional small molecule drugs, as follows:
[0004] 1. The design of PROTAC drugs is not limited by Lipinski's five-fold rule.
[0005] 2. The pharmacological effects of traditional small molecule drugs rely on occupancy of key sites on the target protein (occupancy-driven), that is, they work by binding to the active sites of enzymes or receptors. This requires the drug to maintain a certain concentration in the body and has high requirements for small molecule binding sites. PROTACs can achieve degradation at any position of the target protein. Its pharmacological mechanism is to activate potential targets to achieve pharmacodynamic effects. Studies have shown that very high drug concentrations are not required during the pharmacodynamic process, the requirements for binding sites are relatively low, and the efficacy is good.
[0006] 3. Approximately 50% of proteins in the human body are associated with human diseases, such as cancer. However, only about 20% of proteins can be bound by traditional small molecules. In theory, PROTACs can bind to any part of a protein.
[0007] 4. Compared with traditional small molecules, PROTACs have advantages in terms of drug resistance. In theory, PROTACs can better tolerate mutations in target proteins.
[0008] 5. PROTACs are more durable and have stronger inhibitory power than traditional drug molecules.
[0009] Furthermore, asiatic acid, a major component of the triterpene extract of the natural plant Centella asiatica, possesses an ursane-type skeleton structure. Since its discovery in 1979 as a treatment for skin wounds, studies have shown that asiatic acid possesses a variety of benefits, including anti-irritation properties, skin repair, collagen synthesis inhibition, keratinization improvement, and skin cell stimulation.

[0108] Example 7: In vitro anti-tumor activity test (IC50) of the asiatic acid PROTACs compound of the present invention
[0109] The asiatic acid PROTACs compounds of the present invention were tested for their ability to inhibit tumor cell proliferation using the conventional CCK-8 assay. When tumor cells (B16 cells (mouse skin melanoma cells)) grew to 80%-90% of the culture dish, the cells were digested from the culture dish, centrifuged, and resuspended in fresh DMEM / 1640 complete medium. The cells were counted under a microscope, and the cell suspension was diluted to 50 cells / μL. A circle of sterile PBS was placed on the outermost perimeter of a 96-well plate, 100 μL per well, and 100 μL of the diluted cell suspension was placed in each well of the remaining wells. The plate was then incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. After 24 hours, the medium in the 96-well plate was aspirated, and the drug was diluted with fresh complete medium in a certain concentration gradient and then added to the 96-well plate in sequence. After 48 hours, the medium containing the drug was removed, and CCK-8 liquid diluted with culture medium (100 μL culture medium + 10 μL CCK-8) was added. The cells were incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 30-40 minutes. The absorbance was measured at OD450 on a microplate reader, and the inhibition rate was calculated based on the absorbance at OD450. The data were used to calculate the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) using SPSS software.
[0110] The calculation formula is as follows:
[0111] Inhibition rate = [(Ac-As) / (Ac-Ab)] × 100%
[0112] As: absorbance of experimental wells (containing cells, culture medium, CCK-8 solution, and drug solution);
[0113] Ac: absorbance of control well (containing cells, culture medium, and CCK-8 solution, but no drug);
[0114] Ab: absorbance of blank wells (containing culture medium and CCK-8 solution, but not cells or drugs).
[0115] Experimental Results: To further evaluate the in vitro antitumor activity of the target compound, B16 cells (mouse skin melanoma), MCF-7 cells (human breast cancer), A549 cells (lung cancer), and HELA cells (cervical cancer) were used as test tumor lines, with Asiatic acid A serving as the control group. The test results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Overall, the Asiatic acid PROTAC compound exhibited superior antitumor activity compared to the Asiatic acid derivative itself. Based on the IC50 values and compound structure, A2 was selected as the dosing group for further western blotting studies.

[0121] Example 8: Degradation efficiency test of the asiatic acid PROTACs compound of the present invention on the target protein
[0122] The protein degradation efficiency of the asiatic acid PROTAC compounds of the present invention was tested using a conventional Western blotting method. Based on the existing in vitro anti-tumor activity test data (IC50), the degradation efficiency of the asiatic acid PROTAC compounds against the target protein STAT3 was further tested. MCF-7 cells were treated with PROTAC compounds with better activity and different structures to observe the degradation efficiency of the target protein STAT3.
[0123] Experimental results: After the initial screening at the protein level ( Figure 1 ), A2 showed good STAT3 degradation efficiency.
[0124] Example 9: Degradation efficiency test of target protein by different concentrations of A2 in the asiatic acid PROTACs compound of the present invention
[0125] Through the previous testing of the asiatic acid PROTACs compound on the target protein degradation efficiency, A2 showed good STAT3 degradation efficiency. Therefore, different concentrations of A2 were used to treat MCF-7 cells to study the target protein degradation efficiency at different concentrations and explore whether the degradation of STAT3 is dependent on the treatment concentration of A2. The test method used was conventional Western blotting.
[0126] Experimental results: The degradation of STAT3 is concentration-dependent on A2 ( Figure 2 ).
[0127] Example 10: Degradation efficiency test of target protein by A2 at different action times in the Asiatic acid PROTACs compound of the present invention
[0128] Because PROTACs are time-dependent in their degradation of target proteins, MCF-7 cells were treated with A2 for varying durations. Conventional Western blotting was used for the assay.
[0129] Experimental results: A2 can increase the degradation efficiency of target protein STAT3 by prolonging the time ( Figure 3 ).
[0130] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. In other words, equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
