Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a compound with AuroraB kinase degradation activity and its applications, belonging to the field of medicinal chemistry technology. Background Technology
[0002] Aurora B kinase is a crucial mitogen-activated protein kinase in cell division. It plays a vital role in cell cycle regulation, chromosome division, spindle assembly, and cytokinesis. Research on Aurora B kinase has not only deepened our understanding of cell biology but also provided potential targets for the treatment of diseases such as cancer.
[0003] Aurora B kinase, a member of the Aurora kinase family, plays a crucial role in cell mitosis. Its main function is to regulate chromosome condensation, centromere-microtubule binding, spindle formation, and cytoskeleton reorganization during cytokinesis by phosphorylating its target proteins. Aurora B kinase forms the chromosome passenger complex (CPC) with proteins such as INCENP, Borealin, and Survivin, locating at the center of the chromosome and translocating to the middle of the spindle and the cell division groove during late cell division, thus ensuring normal cell division.
[0004] Given the importance of Aurora B kinase in cell division and proliferation, inhibiting Aurora B activity can be used to combat the pathological state of rapid cell proliferation, especially in cancer. Aurora B kinase inhibitors are considered promising anticancer drugs for treating various types of cancer, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia. Furthermore, abnormal Aurora B activity is also associated with other proliferative diseases such as psoriasis and atherosclerosis. With in-depth research into Aurora B kinase function, its potential as a cancer therapeutic target is increasingly evident. The development of selective Aurora B inhibitors offers opportunities for precision medicine, enabling effective control of pathological cell proliferation. In addition, combining them with other targeted therapies (such as immunotherapy) can improve treatment efficiency and reduce drug resistance. In the future, with the development of personalized medicine, Aurora B inhibitors are expected to achieve wider clinical application.
[0005] Currently, several Aurora B inhibitors have entered clinical trials. Among them, AZD1152 (Barasertib), developed by AstraZeneca, is a highly selective Aurora B inhibitor; however, due to significant side effects and a narrow therapeutic window, some clinical trials have been temporarily suspended. Other small molecule inhibitors, such as GSK1070916 and CCT137690, are also demonstrating their anti-cancer activity in different stages of trials. Studies have also shown that the combined use of Aurora B inhibitors and chemotherapy drugs can produce a synergistic effect, improving treatment efficacy. Currently, no drugs targeting Aurora B have received market approval.
[0006] In recent years, PROTAC technology has attracted much attention due to its ability to induce protein degradation. Unlike traditional small molecule inhibitors, PROTACs form a ternary complex by binding to the target protein and E3 ligase, thereby labeling and degrading specific proteins. This mechanism provides a new approach for the drug development of Aurora B kinase. Designing PROTACs targeting Aurora B can achieve more efficient protein degradation, which not only improves drug selectivity and efficacy but also reduces drug resistance problems caused by simple inhibition. These PROTAC molecules are expected to play an important role in the treatment of various cancers, with potentially lower dosage requirements and fewer side effects. As an important target for cell division regulation, Aurora B kinase, combined with the development of modern biotechnology, especially the application of technologies such as PROTAC, has a very promising future in cancer treatment. Through further research and development, Aurora B-targeted degradation drugs are expected to provide new options for clinical treatment.
[0007] Chinese patent CN202010699560.6 discloses a compound based on the recruitment of ligands by three E3 ubiquitin ligases—CRBN, cIAP, and VHL—and degradation by known Aurora-A inhibitors. However, its anti-tumor activity is not high enough. Summary of the Invention

[0132] Biological Experiment Section
[0133] 1. Bioactivity assay - Aurora B degradation activity assay.
[0134] Methods: Different concentrations of compound 1-11 (dissolved in DMSO) were added to HCT116 colon cancer cells, and the cells were cultured for 24 h (final DMSO concentration 0.2%). Cells were collected and lysed by sonication using RIPA lysis buffer (containing protease inhibitors). Cells were incubated on ice for 30 min, and quantification was performed using the BCA method. After complete denaturation of the protein samples, the intracellular Aurora B protein level was determined by Western blotting. The specific steps were as follows: Protein samples were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to a PVDF membrane, blocked with 5% skim milk for 1 h, and incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody. After thorough washing with TBST, the membrane was incubated at room temperature for 30 min with secondary antibody, and then exposed for imaging in a chemiluminescence imaging system (Shanghai Tianneng).
[0135] Methods: ImageJ software was used to analyze the grayscale values of the bands, and Graphpad Prism was used to calculate the half-maximal degradation concentration (DC) of the compound on Aurora B protein in HCT116 cells. 50 The values were calculated, and the results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0136] Table 1. DCs of compounds that degrade Aurora B protein 50 value
[0137]
[0138] a comes from at least two independent tests
[0139] Table 1 shows that compounds 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 exhibited more significant degradation effects, DC 50 All values were below 20 nM. Based on this result, compound 1, which showed the best degradation effect, was selected, and the 24-hour DC value of Aurora B protein was further measured in the SW620 colon cancer cell line, A549 non-small cell lung cancer cell line, and HL-60 acute promyelocytic leukemia cell line. 50 value.
[0140] Figure 1 This study revealed the expression levels of Aurora B and its most important substrate, phosphorylated histone H3 serine 10 (pH3S10), in HCT116, SW620, A549, and HL-60 cells after treatment with different concentrations of compound 1 for 24 h, as well as the expression levels of internal references—histone H3 (H3) and β-actin. These results indicate that compound 1 degrades Aurora B protein in a concentration-dependent manner. Based on grayscale values, the concentrations of compound 1 in the dendritic cells (DCs) of cell lines were calculated. 50 The values are shown in Table 2 below, indicating that compound 1 can efficiently degrade Aurora B protein in all four cell lines tested.

[0144] 2. Bioactivity assay—selectivity of compound 1.
[0145] The degradation effect of compound 1 on AuroraA in HCT116, SW620, A549, and HL-60 cell lines was determined by immunoblotting.
[0146] Methods: HCT116, SW620, A549, and HL-60 cells were seeded into six-well plates and cultured. After complete cell adhesion, different concentrations of Compound 1 (dissolved in DMSO solution) were added, and the cells were cultured for another 24 hours (final DMSO concentration: 0.2%). Cells were lysed using RIPA lysis buffer (containing protease inhibitors), and sample protein concentrations were measured. Western blotting was then performed. The experimental procedures were the same as above. Figure 2 Reveal the experimental results.
[0147] from Figure 2It can be seen that in all tested cells, low concentrations of compound 1 did not degrade Aurora A. When the compound concentration increased to 1 μM, Aurora A protein showed a slight decreasing trend, with weaker degradation activity compared to Aurora B.
[0148] 3. Bioactivity assay - cell activity experiment.
[0149] Methods: 10,000 (48 h) or 5,000 (96 h) cells in the logarithmic growth phase were seeded into 96-well plates and cultured. After complete cell adhesion, different concentrations of compound 1 were added, and the cells were cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 48 h or 96 h, respectively. Cell counts were then performed, and the concentration of the compound that inhibited growth by 50% (GI) was calculated. 50 The results are shown in Table 3, indicating that compound 1 can significantly and efficiently inhibit the growth and proliferation of tumor cells.
[0150] Table 3 shows the effect of compound 1 on GI in tumor cells. 50 value

[0152] 4. Bioactivity assay - cell clone formation assay.
[0153] 2000 HCT116 cells, 4000 SW620 cells, and 1000 A549 cells in logarithmic growth phase were seeded into 24-well plates and cultured. After complete cell adhesion, different concentrations of Compound 1 were added, and the cells were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 7 days. After colony formation, the cells were washed with PBS, fixed with anhydrous methanol, stained with crystal violet, destained, and then dried for photographing. The colony number was calculated using ImageJ software. The experimental results are shown below. Figure 3 As shown.
[0154] from Figure 3 As can be seen, in HCT116 cells, compound 1 at concentrations of 6.25 and 12.5 nM significantly inhibited cell colony formation, with inhibition rates of 25.96% (P<0.05) and 58.05% (P<0.01), respectively. In SW620 cells, the inhibition rates of compound 1 at concentrations of 12.5 and 25 nM were 26.28% (P<0.01) and 46.72% (P<0.01), respectively. In A549 cells, the inhibition rates of compound 1 at concentrations of 12.5 and 25 nM were 21.98% (P<0.05) and 55.11% (P<0.05), respectively. In these tumor adherent cell models, low concentrations of the compound significantly inhibited cell colony formation.
[0155] 0.6% agar was spread in 24-well plates as the lower gel and allowed to solidify. 5000 HL-60 cells in logarithmic growth phase were resuspended in complete medium and added at a 1:1 ratio with complete medium containing 0.7% agar (final agar concentration 0.35%). Different concentrations of Compound 1 were added simultaneously, and the mixture was thoroughly added to the 24-well plates with the lower gel. The plates were incubated at 4°C for 10 minutes until semi-solidified, then different concentrations of Compound 1 were added, and the plates were cultured for another 10 days. After fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde, the plates were stained with 0.05% crystal violet, rinsed with water, and air-dried.
[0156] from Figure 4 As can be seen, compared with the adherent cell model mentioned above, compound 1 showed a more significant growth inhibitory effect in HL-60 suspension cells. In HL-60 cells, when the concentration of compound 1 was 1.5625 and 3.125 nM, it significantly inhibited cell colony formation, with inhibition rates of 22.51% (P<0.01) and 29.93% (P<0.01), respectively.
