Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a class of compounds having KIF18A inhibitory activity, and uses thereof as KIF18A inhibitors and for treating cancer. Background Art
[0002] The kinesin family, a superfamily of microtubule-associated molecular motor proteins, plays a central role in numerous physiological processes in eukaryotic cells, including organelle transport, spindle assembly, chromosome segregation, and intracellular signaling. Among them, KIF18A (kinesin-like protein 18A), a member of the kinesin-8 subfamily, is an ATP-dependent motor protein localized to the plus ends of mitotic spindle microtubules. Its unique molecular structure, comprising an N-terminal motor domain, a central rod domain, and a C-terminal tail domain, precisely regulates mitotic progression through mechanisms such as microtubule dynamics inhibition, chromosome oscillation regulation, and spindle length maintenance.
[0003] In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that KIF18A plays a key role in the occurrence and development of tumors: in a variety of solid tumors such as breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer, the KIF18A gene is abnormally highly expressed and is significantly correlated with tumor grade, lymph node metastasis, and poor patient prognosis; its overexpression can not only accelerate the mitotic process of tumor cells and enhance cell proliferation ability, but also promote the migration and invasion of tumor cells by regulating cytoskeleton dynamics; in addition, abnormal expression of KIF18A can also lead to chromosome segregation errors, aggravate the genomic instability of tumor cells, and induce tumor cells to develop resistance to chemotherapy drugs such as taxanes.
[0004] Given the central role of KIF18A in tumor cell proliferation and survival, the development of highly effective inhibitors has become a cutting-edge focus in anti-tumor drug research and development. Amgen's AMG-650, the world's first KIF18A inhibitor to enter clinical trials, is being evaluated for triple-negative breast cancer and platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian cancer and has been granted FDA Fast Track designation. AMG-650 binds with high affinity to the ATP-binding pocket of KIF18A, inhibiting its microtubule-depolymerizing activity and demonstrating significant anti-tumor activity in animal models.
[0005]
[0006] Currently, there are no approved drugs based on the KIF18A inhibition pathway in the world. Therefore, developing a new KIF18A inhibitor compound to provide a new solution for cancer treatment has important clinical significance and market potential. Summary of the Invention
