Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing, ameliorating, or treating a brain tumor, which includes a novel compound capable of simultaneously inhibiting ANO1 (Anoctamin 1) and EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) as an active ingredient.
[0002] This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0073989, filed June 9, 2023, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0074033, filed June 5, 2024, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND
[0003] Glioblastoma is a primary malignant brain tumor that occurs in adults. It is a highly malignant disease that can lead to death within 3 to 6 months if not treated promptly after diagnosis, and even if treated using various available treatment methods, the average survival period is only 12 to 14 months. In Korea, about 12,000 people are diagnosed with brain tumors each year. Among them, about 9,000 are diagnosed with benign tumors such as meningioma or pituitary adenoma, and about 2,000 are diagnosed with malignant tumors. About 630 malignant tumor patients are diagnosed with glioblastoma each year.
[0004] Since glioblastoma originates from glial cells in brain tissue, it invasively grows into the surrounding brain tissue, so its tumor boundary is not clear and extends further than the actual visual boundary seen by radiological examination or surgery with the naked eye. Glioblastoma is usually located in a region of the brain that cannot be surgically resected due to functional reasons, and radiotherapy also cannot achieve complete remission. In addition, glioblastoma is a poor prognosis incurable disease, and treatment is very difficult due to the lack of effective anticancer agents, as anticancer agents are not easily penetrated into the brain due to the blood-brain barrier. The current standard treatment for glioblastoma is the use of Temozolomide, but long-term treatment can cause side effects and drug resistance, making continuous treatment difficult. Despite many modern medical advances and new drug development, no new therapy has been developed.
[0005] One of the oncogenes that frequently undergoes genetic alteration in glioblastoma patients is the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EGFR is physiologically important, and mutations are observed in more than half of such patients. Various intracellular signaling events occur when EGFR binds to EGF or TNF-α. However, overexpression or overactive mutations of EGFR lead to excessive cell proliferation, which ultimately results in cancer. Among these EGFR mutations, EGFRvIII is a protein characterized by the deletion of amino acids 6 through 273 and is specifically expressed in cancer cells. Although EGFRvIII was first discovered in glioblastoma, it has also been found in cancers of other tissues.
[0006] It has been reported that chloride channel proteins such as Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) and the chloride channel (CLC) family play important roles in the volume control of cancer cells, particularly in the migration and metastasis of glioblastoma cells. ANO1 protein is involved in various physiological functions (pain control, blood pressure control, brain development, water secretion control, etc.). In particular, their anti-cancer effects in various cancer cells (breast cancer, head and neck cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, etc.) have been reported. Inhibition of ANO1 protein in breast cancer exerts its anti-cancer effect through CaMK2 signaling. Furthermore, although ANO1 expression levels are significantly low in the normal brain, it has been reported to be overexpressed in glioblastoma, and inhibition of ANO1 activity suppresses cell migration and metastasis in glioblastoma, thereby suppressing cancer growth in animal models. Additionally, it has been reported that inhibition of ANO1 in glioblastoma stem cells induces the degradation of epidermal growth factor receptor variant 3 (EGFRvIII) protein. These studies suggest that inhibiting ANO1 protein may be a therapeutic strategy for various EGFR mutation-related cancers, including glioblastoma.
[0007] Therefore, both ANO1 and EGFR are potential targets for anti-cancer therapy. However, no therapeutic drugs have yet been found that can exhibit excellent anti-cancer effects through the dual inhibition of ANO1 and EGFR. Summary of the Invention

[0110] Further, another object of the present application is to provide a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating brain tumors, which comprises one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by Chemical Formulas 1 to 6 or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as an active ingredient.
[0111] The compound according to the present application can be used as an inhibitor of calcium-dependent chloride channel Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) for preventing, ameliorating, and / or treating brain tumors. In particular, the compound according to the present application is characterized in that it exhibits an excellent anticancer effect by simultaneously inhibiting the expression or activity of EGFR and ANO1. The preventive and / or therapeutic effect of brain tumors includes not only an effect of inhibiting the growth of brain tumor cells, but also an effect of inhibiting the progression or aggravation of brain tumors caused by migration, invasion, and metastasis.
[0112] In the present application, "EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor)" is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the protein kinase superfamily, which serves as a receptor for epidermal growth factor (EGF) family proteins. EGFR is a key regulator of cell growth, and when its ligand epidermal growth factor (EGF) binds to EGFR, the receptor dimerizes and undergoes tyrosine autophosphorylation, thereby inducing cell proliferation. Overexpression (amplification) or overactivation of EGFR is often observed in various cancers such as colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, and glioblastoma, and somatic mutations associated with EGFR lead to persistent activation of EGFR, resulting in uncontrolled cell division. In particular, EGFR gene rearrangement and EGFR gene amplification are common patterns in various cancers. Among them, the most common extracellular domain mutation is EGFRvIII. EGFRvIII mutation is characterized by a deletion of about 801 base pairs corresponding to exons 2 to 7 of the EGFR gene, and the EGFR protein expressed therefrom lacks 267 amino acids in the extracellular domain. Unlike normal EGFR, which requires ligand binding to be activated, mutant EGFR maintains constitutive activity (PCT gain-of-function mutation). EGFRvIII mutation is particularly prevalent in glioblastoma.
[0113] In the present application, "Anoctamin 1 (ANO1, also known as Transmembrane Protein 16A (TMEM16A))" is a calcium-activated chloride channel (Cl -ANO1 is expressed in various normal cells including epithelial cells, smooth muscle cells, vascular endothelial cells, and neurons, and performs various physiological functions by regulating fluid secretion, muscle contraction, and nociception. However, ANO1 has also been known to be associated with tumor invasiveness and poor prognosis of brain tumors including glioblastoma. In fact, overexpression of ANO1 facilitates signaling pathways that stimulate cancer cell proliferation and migration, and inhibition of ANO1 has been reported to inhibit cell migration and growth. Overexpression of ANO1 also appears to be associated with overexpression of EGFR and STAT3, and it has been reported that inhibition of ANO1 enhances the response of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma to EGFR / HER2-targeted therapy. Thus, ANO1 has attracted attention as a target for cancer treatment; however, an ANO1 inhibitor exhibiting superior anticancer efficacy has not yet been developed. The compound according to the present application effectively inhibits the expression of ANO1 in brain tumor cells, and has been confirmed to more strongly inhibit the migration, proliferation, and metastasis of brain tumor cells than conventional ANO1 inhibitors, and thus can be used to prevent, treat, and inhibit the metastasis of brain tumors. In addition, previous studies on the improvement of EGFR / HER2-targeted therapy efficacy through ANO1 inhibition suggest that the compound according to the present application can enhance the responsiveness of brain tumor cells to EGFR / HER-targeted therapy and inhibit the development of drug resistance.
[0114] In particular, the compound according to the present application simultaneously inhibits the expression of EGFR and ANO1 in brain tumor cells, and thus can exhibit a stronger anticancer effect by simultaneously inhibiting ANO1 and EGFR. The association between ANO1 and EGFR has been well established, as the upregulation of ANO1 is associated with the signaling pathway of EGFR, and it has been reported that, after epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation, remodeling of the phospho-proteome has a significant impact. In addition, in cancer cells, ANO1 can form a functional complex with EGFR to synergistically regulate cell proliferation. Thus, when EGFR and ANO1 are simultaneously inhibited by using the compound according to the present application, the growth of brain tumors can be more effectively inhibited.
[0115] Meanwhile, ANO1 is known to be overexpressed in cancer cells and to contribute to cancer cell migration and tumor metastasis, and it is also known that a tumor microenvironment that promotes tumor metastasis is generated through the signaling of EGFR. Thus, the compound according to the present application can effectively inhibit the metastasis of brain tumors by simultaneously inhibiting ANO1 and EGFR. The term "metastasis" as used herein refers to a condition in which a malignant tumor spreads from an organ of origin to another distant tissue. Thus, the composition according to the present application can inhibit the metastasis of brain tumors, thereby preventing and treating the systemic spread of brain tumors.
[0116] The compound according to the present application or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be used to prevent or treat various cancers.
[0117] In the present application, the term "tumor" is synonymous with "cancer" and refers to a condition that is typically characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, migration and proliferation. Preferably, the cancer according to the present application is a brain tumor. The cancer according to the present application includes primary and recurrent cancers and encompasses both benign and malignant tumors. In the present application, brain tumor refers to any tumor that occurs within the cranium, not limited to a particular type, but includes all tumors that occur in the brain and its surrounding structures. In the present application, brain tumor includes primary brain tumors, recurrent brain tumors and metastatic brain tumors. Furthermore, brain tumor includes astrocytoma, malignant astrocytic carcinoma, glioblastoma, meningioma, pituitary adenoma, schwannoma, acoustic schwannoma and craniopharyngioma, not limited to any particular type.
[0118] In particular, the cancer according to the present application can be a brain tumor that is expected to be improved or treated by simultaneous inhibition of ANOl and EGFR. Preferably, the cancer according to the present application can be a brain tumor that is associated with one or more mutations selected from the group consisting of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and ANOl (Anoctamin 1). That is, the cancer according to the present application can be a brain tumor that has a mutation of EGFR and / or ANOl. The mutation of EGFR and / or ANOl includes amplification of the EGFR and / or ANOl gene, overexpression of the protein, overactivation of the protein and persistent activation of the protein. That is, the cancer according to the present application can be a brain tumor in which the expression or activity of EGFR and / or ANOl is higher than that of normal cells. Alternatively, the cancer according to the present application can be a brain tumor in which the activation state of EGFR and / or ANOl is persistent. Since the compound according to the present application is capable of simultaneously inhibiting the expression and activity of ANOl and EGFR, it can exhibit a particularly excellent anticancer effect on a brain tumor involving a mutation of EGFR and / or ANOl.
[0119] Alternatively, the cancer according to the present application can be a brain tumor that is associated with EGFRvIII (epidermal growth factor receptor variant III) mutation. EGFRvIII mutation is a mutant form in which amino acids 6 to 273 (or exons 2 to 7) of EGFR are deleted, which is characterized in that it remains in an activated state without binding to a ligand (EGF). EGFRvIII is specifically expressed only in cancer cells and is found in about 30% of glioblastomas.
[0120] The compound according to the present application can exhibit one or more effects selected from the group consisting of: (a) inhibiting the proliferation or growth of brain tumor cells; (b) inhibiting the migration of brain tumor cells; (c) inhibiting the metastasis of brain tumors; (d) inhibiting drug resistance of brain tumor to anticancer agents; and (e) enhancing responsiveness of brain tumor cells to anticancer agents.
[0121] The inventors demonstrate by specific examples that brain tumor cells treated with the compound according to the present application exhibit inhibited proliferation, migration, and metastasis (invasiveness), and find that the anticancer effect of the compound is stronger than that of a conventional ANOl inhibitor (CaCCinh-A01).
[0122] Further, since the compound according to the present application can simultaneously inhibit ANOl and EGFR (i.e., dual inhibition), it can exhibit an excellent anticancer effect compared to a single inhibitor of ANOl or EGFR, in particular, by inhibiting ANOl, it can inhibit the development of drug resistance of cancer cells to anticancer agents, and enhance the anticancer efficacy of anticancer agents. For example, the inventors demonstrate by experiments that the ANOl inhibitory effect of the compound according to the present application is superior to that of the conventional ANOl inhibitor CaCCinh-A01, and its anticancer effect is superior to that of the ANOl inhibitor CaCCinh-A01, the EGFR inhibitor Osimertinib, and the combination of Osimertinib and CaCCinh-A01.
[0123] In one embodiment of the present application, the anticancer agent described in (d) and (e) can be a tyrosine kinase-targeted anticancer agent, but is not limited thereto. As used herein, the term "targeted anticancer agent" refers to an agent that exerts an anticancer effect by targeting a specifically altered protein or gene in cancer cells or cancer tissues and interfering with molecular activities involved in cancer growth and development. Preferably, the tyrosine kinase can be one or more selected from the group consisting of: EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase), ROS1 (ROS proto-oncogene 1), BRAF (B-Raf proto-oncogene), HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2), RET (RET proto-oncogene), NTRK1 (neurotrophic tyrosine kinase 1), MET (mesenchymal epithelial transition factor), and NRG1 (neuregulin 1). More preferably, the tyrosine kinase can be EGFR. EGFR includes normal EGFR and mutant EGFR (e.g., EGFRvIII).
[0124] As described in (e), the enhanced responsiveness of cancer cells to anticancer agents means that the inhibition of cancer cell growth and migration by anticancer agents is further enhanced.
[0125] In the present application, the term "enhancing anticancer efficacy" means all actions capable of eventually enhancing the function of an anticancer agent, and includes not only enhancing anticancer effects such as inhibiting tumor growth, inhibiting tumor metastasis, and inhibiting tumor recurrence, but also enhancing anticancer effects by inhibiting drug resistance or tolerance of cancer cells to anticancer agents.
[0126] Accordingly, the compound according to the present application can be used as a compound for combination therapy with a known anticancer agent, preferably a targeted anticancer agent against tyrosine kinase, to enhance anticancer efficacy of a brain tumor anticancer agent.
[0127] For example, the present application provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer, preferably a brain tumor, comprising, as active ingredients, (i) one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by Chemical Formulas 1 to 6, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; and (ii) a targeted anticancer agent against EGFR.

[0129] The composition according to the present application can be in the form of a mixture in which the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the targeted anticancer agent against EGFR are mixed, and can be a preparation for simultaneous administration of the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the targeted anticancer agent against EGFR.
[0130] In addition, the composition according to the present application can be in a form in which the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the targeted anticancer agent against EGFR are each formulated and administered simultaneously, separately, or sequentially. In this case, the composition can be a pharmaceutical composition for combination therapy for simultaneous or sequential administration, which comprises a first pharmaceutical composition containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient, and a second pharmaceutical composition containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of the targeted anticancer agent against EGFR as an active ingredient. In this case, when administered sequentially, the order of administration is not limited, and the administration schedule can be appropriately adjusted depending on the patient's condition, etc.
[0131] That is, when the pharmaceutical composition is a pharmaceutical composition for combination therapy for sequential administration, the composition can be one in which the compound or a salt thereof ("first component") is administered first, and then the targeted anticancer agent against EGFR ("second component") is administered, or vice versa.
[0132] In addition, when the compound according to the present application is administered in combination with an anticancer agent, the compound can be administered simultaneously, separately or sequentially with the anticancer agent, even in the case of sequential administration, the order of administration is not limited, and the administration schedule can be appropriately adjusted depending on the type of cancer, the type of anticancer agent or the condition of the patient.
[0133] The content of the compound in the composition of the present application can be appropriately adjusted depending on the symptoms of the disease, the degree of progression of the symptoms and the condition of the patient, for example, can be 0.0001 to 99.9% by weight, or 0.001 to 50% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition, but is not limited thereto. The content is based on the dry weight obtained by removing the solvent.

The compounds of the present invention were treated at different concentrations of 0, 1, 2 and 4 μΜ. 10 μΐ^of CCK reagent was added and allowed to react for one hour, after which the absorbance was measured at 450 nm.
[0166] The results, as shown in Figure 2, show that the compounds of the present invention, AON-MG23-01 or AON-MG23-02, inhibit the proliferation of U87-MG cells.
[0167] 3. Demonstration of the inhibitory effect of the compounds of the present invention on the cell migration of human glioblastoma cells U87-MG cells, a human glioblastoma cell line, were seeded on SPL ScarBlock (SPL) plates at a density of 8 X 10 4 The cells were treated with DMSO as a control and the compounds of the present invention, AON-MG23-01 or AON-MG23-02, after 24 hours of incubation. The compounds of the present invention were treated at different concentrations of 0, 1, 2 and 4 μΜ. 10 μΐ^of CCK reagent was added and allowed to react for one hour, after which the absorbance was measured at 450 nm.
[0168] The results, as shown in Figure 3, demonstrate that when the compounds of the present invention, AON-MG23-01 or AON-MG23-02, were treated at a concentration of 4 μΜ, the cell migration was inhibited by more than 65% compared to the untreated control.
[0169] 4. Demonstration of the inhibitory effect of the compounds of the present invention on the metastasis of human glioblastoma U87-MG cells, a human glioblastoma cell line, were seeded on SPL ScarBlock (SPL) plates at a density of 8 X 10 4The cells were seeded at a density of 1 cell / well on Matrigel-coated filters (Transwell invasion chamber, Corning), then the cells were treated with the compounds of the present application (AON-MG23-01 or AON-MG23-02; each at 0, 1, 2 and 4 mM) and incubated in a CO2incubator at 37 °C for 24 hours. After completion of the incubation, the cells were fixed and stained using Diff-Quick Stain kit (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan). Images of the stained cells were taken under a microscope, the cells were counted using Image J software, and then statistical analysis was performed.
[0170] Results, as shown in Figure 4, it can be seen that the groups treated with the compounds of the present application AON-MG23-01 or AON-MG23-02 showed a decrease in the degree of penetration of Matrigel compared to the untreated control, indicating that the metastatic ability of the cancer cells was inhibited.
[0171] 5. Demonstration of the effect of the compounds of the present application on the expression of ANOl and EGFR proteins in glioblastoma cell lines It was determined whether the compounds of the present application affect the expression of ANOl and EGFR proteins in glioblastoma cell lines. The human glioblastoma cell line U87-MG was seeded at a density of 1 X 10 6Cells were seeded at a density of one cell in a 60 mm dish, cultured for 24 hours, and then treated with the compounds of the present application (AON-MG23-01 or AON-MG23-02; each at 0, 1, 2, and 4 mM) and cultured for 48 hours. The cultured cells were harvested, and the harvested cells were lysed for Western blotting. Anti-ANO1 antibody (Abeam, ab53212), anti-pEGFR antibody (Cell Signaling, #4407S), anti-EGFR antibody (Cell Signaling, #4267S), and anti-a-tubulin antibody (Santacruz, #SC-5286) were used as antibodies for Western blotting. The protein concentration was quantified using the BSA method (Protein Assay, Bovine Serum Albumin Assay) (Pierce, Cat. 23225). After cell lysis, an equal amount (10 pg) of protein obtained from the lysed cells was subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE, the proteins were separated according to their molecular weights, transferred to a PVDF membrane (Bio-Rad), and then treated with a blocking buffer (5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) buffer containing 0.1% Tween 20; TBS-T) at room temperature for one hour. Thereafter, the PVDF membrane was treated with a primary antibody and reacted at 4°C for 16 hours. The PVDF membrane after the reaction was washed with TBS-T three times. Then, the PVDF membrane was reacted with a horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody at room temperature for one hour, and then visualized using an ECL kit (Bio-rad). The amount of each protein was quantified and analyzed using Image J software.
[0172] As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the protein levels of ANO1 and EGFR were significantly inhibited in cells treated with the compounds of the present application compared to the untreated control, and this protein expression inhibition was dependent on the treatment concentration of the compounds.
[0173] 6. Confirmation of the inhibitory effect of the compounds of the present application on ANO1 activity in a glioblastoma cell line The inhibitory effect on ANO1 ion channel activity was confirmed by measuring the calcium-dependent chloride ion channel activity of the compounds of the present application using patch clamp. To this end, U87-MG cells expressing ANO1 were subjected to patch clamp. The pipette solution consisted of 146CsCl, 5 Ca-EGTA-NMDG, 8 HEPES, 2MgCl2, and 10 sucrose (pH 7.3), and the bath solution consisted of 50NaCl, 10 HEPES, 3KCl, 2CaCl2, 2MgCl2, and 5.5 glucose (pH 7.3). U87-MG cells were cultured on a coverslip for 4 hours, and then treated with AON-MG23-01 or AON-MG23-02 for one hour (at a concentration of 0, 4, and 8 μM). At this time, the calcium-dependent chloride ion channel was activated using 400 mM ATP and a high concentration of calcium, and the calcium-dependent chloride ion channel current was measured in the range of -100 mV to +100 mV.
[0174] As a result, as shown in FIG. 6A, it was confirmed that the group treated with the compound of the present application showed a significant decrease in ANO1 activity compared to the untreated control. In particular, as shown in FIG. 6B, it was confirmed that the group treated with the compound of the present application showed a current density reduction of more than 50% at a membrane potential of +80 mV compared to the untreated control. The results indicate that the compound of the present application can inhibit the activity of the calcium-dependent chloride ion channel ANO1 in the glioblastoma cell line U87-MG cells.

Thereafter, cells were treated with 0, 8, 16 and 32 mM of AON-MG23-05, AON-MG23-06, AON-MG23-07 and AON-MG23-08 derivatives, respectively, and cultured for 48 hours. The cultured cells were harvested and lysed for Western blotting. Anti-ANO1 antibody (Abeam, ab53212), anti-pEGFR antibody (Cell Signaling, #4407S), anti-EGFR antibody (Cell Signaling, #4267S) and anti-ACTIN antibody (sigma, #A2066) were used as antibodies for Western blotting. The protein concentration was quantified using the BSA method (Protein Quantitation Assay, Bovine Serum Albumin Assay) (Pierce, Cat. 23225). After cell lysis, an equal amount (10 pg) of protein obtained from the lysed cells was subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE, the proteins were separated according to their molecular weight, transferred to a PVDF membrane (Bio-rad), and treated with a blocking buffer (5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) buffer containing 0.1% Tween 20, TBS-T) at room temperature for one hour. Then, the PVDF membrane was treated with a primary antibody and reacted at 4°C for 16 hours. The reacted PVDF membrane was washed with TBS-T three times for 10 minutes. Then, the PVDF membrane was reacted with a horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody at room temperature for one hour, and then washed with TBS-T three times for 10 minutes. The washed PVDF membrane was treated with an ECL kit (Thermo, West PicoPlus), reacted, and visualized using a da Vinci-Q (Youngin Lab Plus) device. The amount of each protein was quantified and analyzed using Image J software.
[0202] As a result, as shown in FIGS. 9A to 9D, it was confirmed that the derivatives AON-MG23-05 and AON-MG23-08 reduced the expression of ANO1 and EGFR proteins compared to the untreated control.
[0203] 3. Comparison of the metastasis inhibitory effects of four derivatives of AON-MG23-02 on human glioblastoma The human glioblastoma cell line U87-MG was seeded at 8 Х 10 4The cells were seeded at a density of 1 cell / well on the top of Matrigel-coated filters (Transwell invasion chamber, Corning), then treated with 0, 8, 16 and 32 μM of the inventive compound derivatives AON-MG23-05, AON-MG23-06, AON-MG23-07 and AON-MG23-08, respectively, and incubated in a CO2incubator at 37°C for 24 hours. After completion of the incubation, the cells were fixed and stained using a Diff-Quick staining kit (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan). Images of the stained cells were taken under a microscope, the cells were counted using Image J software, and then statistical analysis was performed.
[0204] As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, it can be seen that the groups treated with the derivatives AON-MG23-05, AON-MG23-06, AON-MK23-07 and AON-MG23-08 showed a reduced degree of penetration of Matrigel compared to the untreated control, indicating that the derivatives inhibited the metastasis of human glioblastoma.
[0205] The above description of the present application is for illustrative purposes only, and those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application pertains will understand that various modifications can be made in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the above-described embodiments should be considered illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
[0206] [Industrial applicability] The present application relates to the use of novel Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) inhibiting compounds for the prevention and treatment of brain tumors. The compounds of the present application are capable of simultaneously inhibiting ANO1 and EGFR in brain tumor cells, and not only exhibit a more effective anticancer effect through the dual inhibition of these two proteins, but also enhance the efficacy of anticancer agents such as anticancer drugs targeting EGFR and inhibit drug resistance when used in combination. Therefore, these compounds can be used as dual-target anticancer agents against ANO1 and EGFR on their own, and as combination agents for EGFR-targeted therapy, and thus are expected to be useful for various applications for the prevention and treatment of brain tumors and have industrial applicability.
