Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of synthesis and application technology of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, specifically relating to a tetrahydropyrrole derivative for anti-breast cancer, its preparation method, application and drug. Background Technology
[0002] Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, and drug treatment is the primary approach. With in-depth research, anti-breast cancer drugs have evolved from traditional chemotherapy drugs to targeted therapy, endocrine therapy, and novel molecular drugs, among other directions.
[0003] Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are widely found in natural products and possess a variety of pharmacological activities, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds account for approximately 82% of marketed small molecule drugs, and in 2023 alone, 13 nitrogen-containing heterocyclic drugs were approved by the FDA for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer, migraines, and postpartum depression. Therefore, nitrogen-containing heterocycles represent a class of pharmacophores with diverse pharmacological activities.
[0004] Tetrahydropyrrole is a five-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycle, often used as a base side chain in the design of new drugs. For example, the estrogen receptor antagonist lasofoxifene, used to treat hormone-dependent breast cancer, and the telomerase / telomere inhibitor Braco-19, as well as G9a and GLP histone methyltransferase inhibitor UNC0638, which have anti-triple-negative breast cancer activity, all contain a tetrahydropyrrole group. Furthermore, fusion of tetrahydropyrrole with other heterocycles also exhibits antitumor activity. For example, acetylardeemin, a compound fused with tetrahydropyrrole and an indole ring, has significant inhibitory activity against breast cancer and doxorubicin-resistant breast cancer.
[0005] Currently, a large number of marketed anti-breast cancer drugs are used in clinical practice. However, issues such as drug resistance and toxic side effects severely limit drug screening in clinical settings. Therefore, designing and developing more structurally novel anti-breast cancer drugs is of great significance.

The original culture medium was discarded, and 100 μL of DMSO was added to each well, followed by shaking for 15 min. The absorbance (OD) of each well was measured at 490 nm using a microplate reader. The inhibition rate (%) of the drug against tumor cells was calculated, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated using OriginPro software. 50 Values. See Table 1 for the results.
[0065] Table 1. Antitumor activity of compounds TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4
[0066] According to the detection results in Table 1, compounds TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4 all showed certain inhibitory activities against MCF-7 breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cells, and doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7 / ADR breast cancer cells. 50 The values are all less than 30 µmol·L -1 .
[0067] The inhibitory activity assay of breast cancer cells MCF-7 showed that, compared with the positive control drug 4-hydroxytamoxifen (TAM), the IC50 of the four compounds was significantly higher. 50 Although the value is less than 16 µmol·L -1 However, it is still lower than TAM. In the inhibitory activity assay of triple-negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231, compound TP1 showed inhibitory activity almost equivalent to the positive control drug, indicating the feasibility of compound TP1 as an active ingredient for treating triple-negative breast cancer. In the inhibitory activity assay of doxorubicin-resistant breast cancer cells MCF-7 / ADR, compounds TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4 all showed excellent anti-tumor cell activity. Among them, compound TP4 had an IC50 value of [missing information]. 50 The value was 8.4 ± 1.5 μmol·L. -1 Its inhibitory activity was nearly five times that of the positive control drug 4-hydroxytamoxifen, making it a potential candidate active ingredient for the treatment of drug-resistant breast cancer. Meanwhile, compounds TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4 showed no significant toxicity to non-tumorigenic breast epithelial cells MCF-10A, while 4-hydroxytamoxifen exhibited some toxicity.
[0068] The above results indicate that the tetrahydropyrrole derivative provided by the present invention has anti-breast cancer activity and can be used as a candidate drug for anti-breast cancer treatment.
