[0002] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a 15-membered ring quadruple lactone derivative and its application in the treatment of lung cancer and colon cancer. Background Art

[0003] Streptomyces is a global resource for novel lead compounds in drug development, producing novel metabolites with diverse scaffolds and complex structures. Neoantimycin (NAT), a depsipeptide natural product produced by Streptomyces, features a 15-membered lactone nucleus with four ester (peptide) groups attached to a 3-N-formamidosalicylic acid group, two alkyl groups, and a benzyl side chain. The structural differences of the reported new antimycin analogs mainly focus on the hydroxylation or ketolation modification of the C1 position of the molecular mother ring, the length of the alkyl side chain at the C4 / C9 position of the ester (peptide) group, and whether the amino group on the salicylic acid acyl group is N-formyl modified or replaced by a hydroxyl group (Lin, X.; et al. Applying Molecular Networking for Targeted Isolation of Depsipeptides. RSC Adv. 2021, 11(5), 2774–2782; Lin, X.; et al. Compound Discovery and Structure-Activity Relationship Study of Neoantimycins Against Drug-Resistant Cancer Cells. Front. Chem. 2019, 7, 481.).New antimycin compounds generally have important pharmaceutical activities, such as SW-163A and SW-163B, which have immunosuppressive and antifungal activities (Takahashi, K.; et al. SW-163A and B, Novel Imimmosuppressants Produced by Streptomyces Sp. J. Antibiot. 2001, 54(11), 867–873.), prunustatin A, JBIR-04 and JBIR-05 can negatively regulate the expression of tumor cell target protein GRP78 (glucose-regulated protein) (Izumikawa, M.; et al. Novel GRP78 Molecular Chaperone Expression Down-Regulators JBIR-04and-05 Isolated from Streptomyces Violaceoniger. J. Antibiot. 2007, 60(10), 640–644; Umeda, Y.; et al. Absolute Structure of Prunustatin A, a Novel GRP78 Molecular Chaperone down-Regulator. Org. Lett. 2007, 9(21), 4239–4242.). Recently, it has been reported that new antimycin compounds NAT-A, NAT-F, NAT-G and NAT-H have significant inhibitory effects on the cell membrane localization of the key target of carcinogenesis K-Ras and the multidrug resistance of the colon cancer cell line SW620 (Salim, AA; et al.

[0057] Example 1: Preparation of Compounds 1-8 (UAT-F1-J) by Fermentation with Streptomyces conglobatus

[0058] Preparation and isolation of compounds 1-2 (UAT-F1-F2): Actinomycete S. conglobatus ATCC31005 was fermented in a liquid shaker in SGC medium (1 L of medium contained: 30 g soybean meal, 3 g calcium carbonate, 800 mL distilled water, 5 mg cobalt chloride hexahydrate. 200 mL of 25% glucose solution and 2-3 mL of defoamer were sterilized separately and added to 1 L of SGC medium). Fermentation was carried out at 30°C and 220 rpm for 7 days. On the third day of fermentation, the strain was fed 2-fluoroacetylcysteamine benzoic acid thioester and continued to ferment for a total of 36 L. After fermentation, the fermentation broth was supplemented with 0.1% formic acid and extracted three times with equal volumes of ethyl acetate. The extracts were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain an ethyl acetate extract. The ethyl acetate extract was suspended in methanol and extracted three times with equal volumes of n-hexane. The lower layers were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a methanol extract.

[0059] 44.7 g of the methanol extract was subjected to normal phase vacuum column chromatography, eluted with dichloromethane-methanol 50:1, ethyl acetate-petroleum ether gradient elution, and mass spectrometry tracking was used to combine the fractions containing the mass-to-charge ratio m / z 656.3 peak. ODS medium-pressure column chromatography was used for separation, eluted with MeCN / H2O gradient (20%-80%, 180 min), and mass spectrometry tracking and positioning analysis was used to obtain fine fractions containing target compounds 1 and 2; finally, the fractions were separated by semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography (elution system: 78% acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution, YMC C 18 chromatographic column, 10×250 mm, 5 μm, 2 mL / min), to obtain the 15-membered ring quadruple lactone derivatives 1 to 2 (UAT-F1 to F2) of the present invention.

[0112] Example 3: In vitro antitumor activity test of the 15-membered ring quadruple lactone derivatives UAT-B1 to UAT-J of the present invention

[0113] The cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 assay. The sample was dissolved in DMSO to a 10 mM stock solution and stored at low temperature. The concentration of DMSO in the final system was controlled within the range that did not affect the detection activity, and the dilution ratio was 3 nM-20 μM. The above cancer cells in the logarithmic growth phase were cultured in L-15 (SW620) or RPMI-1640 (DLD1, HT-29, NCIH460, A549, H1299, NCM460) containing 10% calf serum to prepare a single cell suspension of 1×10 6 / mL, the suspension was added to a 96-well plate, and 100 μL was added to each well. After culturing in a 5% CO2, 37°C incubator for 24 hours, the test drugs (the fifteen-membered cyclic depsipeptide compound UAT-B1-UAT-J of the present invention and the positive control drug oxaliplatin) of various concentrations were added respectively to make their final concentrations 0.3nM-20μM, and 3 replicates were set up for each sample. The negative control was an equal volume of culture medium and the corresponding DMSO concentration as a solvent control to eliminate the effect of DMSO on cell growth. The positive control drug was oxaliplatin. After incubation in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 72 hours, 10 μL of CCK8 solution was added to each well. After incubation (37°C, 5% CO2) for 40 to 60 minutes, the absorbance value (OD) at 450nm was detected with a microplate reader. The inhibition rate was calculated using the measured OD value, and the IC value of the compound was fitted using GraphpadPrism 8 software. 50 value.

[0114] Experimental cell lines: The tumor cells used include: human colorectal cancer cells with K-RAS target mutations (SW620, DLD1), colorectal cancer cells with non-K-RAS target mutations (HT-29), human non-small cell lung cancer cells with K-RAS mutations (A549, NCIH460), human non-K-RAS mutations (H1299), and normal human small intestinal cells (NCM460) as experimental cell lines.

[0115] The test results are shown in Table 9, which show that compounds UATF1 to UAT-J all have selective anti-tumor activity. Compared with human colorectal cancer cells with non-K-RAS target mutations, compounds UAT-F1 to UAT-J all exhibit stronger inhibitory activity against human colorectal cancer cells with K-RAS target mutations, while compounds UAT-F1 to UAT-J did not exhibit this property for lung cancer cells. In addition, compounds UAT-F1 to UAT-H2 have good inhibitory effects on human colorectal cancer and lung cancer cells (0.04 μM-11.2 μM) and have low toxicity to normal cells.
