Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, specifically to an acylhydrazine compound with antitumor activity, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that seriously threatens women's health worldwide. It exhibits extremely high heterogeneity and can be classified into molecular subtypes such as Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-overexpressing breast cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) based on the expression status of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Among these, TNBC, lacking targets for ER, PR, and HER2, is insensitive to endocrine therapy and HER2-targeted therapy, resulting in a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis, making it a challenging area for clinical treatment. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer development and progression, and the discovery of new therapeutic targets and biomarkers, are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

[0003] Ubiquitin-specific protease 16 (USP16), a member of the deubiquitinating enzyme family, is abnormally expressed in breast cancer tissues (especially TNBC) and is closely related to the occurrence and development of breast cancer. Clinical data show that patients with high USP16 expression have shorter disease-free survival and overall survival, and an increased risk of tumor recurrence. This suggests that USP16 is not only a potential prognostic biomarker for breast cancer (especially TNBC), but also a highly promising therapeutic target.

[0004] Preliminary progress has been made in the research of small molecule inhibitors targeting USP16. For example, the compound IU1 can inhibit the deubiquitinating enzyme activity of USP16 by binding to its catalytic domain, effectively inhibiting breast cancer cell proliferation and migration and enhancing chemosensitivity in preclinical models. However, existing USP16 inhibitors (such as IU1) still have significant limitations: on the one hand, their inhibitory activity and selectivity need to be improved, and off-target effects may lead to safety risks; on the other hand, most inhibitors are still in the preclinical research stage, lacking highly targeted and druggable candidate molecules. Therefore, the development of novel USP16 inhibitors with high selectivity and low toxicity remains of significant scientific importance. Summary of the Invention

The acylhydrazine compounds represented by formulas 3b, 3c, 3d, 3f, 3g, 3h, 3j, and 3k all exhibited excellent in vitro anti-breast cancer cell proliferation activity. Among them, the acylhydrazine compounds represented by formulas 3b, 3f, and 3j showed the best activity.

[0085] Example 14: Animal Tumor Suppression Experiment

[0086] First, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. BALB / c mice were housed under standard specific pathogen-free (SPF) conditions. A xenograft tumor model was established by subcutaneously injecting MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells into 6-8 week old BALB / c mice. Tumor formation was examined daily to determine tumor development. Once the tumors reached a certain size, mice were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group (n=5 per group). Mice in the treatment group received an intraperitoneal injection of an aqueous solution of the acylhydrazine compounds shown in formulas 3b, 3f, and 3j at a dose of 50 mpk. Tumor diameter was measured daily using calipers, and mouse weight was recorded. Tumor tissue was harvested on day 21, and the tumor volume change was used to evaluate the antitumor effect of the compound.

[0087] The experimental results are shown in Table 3 and Figures 1-6 As shown, the acylhydrazine compounds represented by formulas 3b, 3f, and 3j all exhibit excellent in vivo antiproliferative activity.
