TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to a substituted benzamide derivative, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Homeobox (HOX) genes are a family of highly conserved transcription factors, with the core feature of containing a homeodomain, which regulates the spatiotemporal expression of specific genes in the processes of embryonic axial patterning, organogenesis and cell fate determination. The human HOX gene network contains four gene clusters (HOXA~D), among which HOXA1 plays a key role in early development, such as hindbrain segmentation, cranial neural crest cell specification and heart morphogenesis. HOXA1 protein contains two main functional domains: one is the C-terminal homeodomain, which is responsible for binding to DNA and regulating the transcription of downstream target genes; the other is the N-terminal hexapeptide motif, which can mediate heterodimerization with Pbx protein, thereby enhancing the DNA binding specificity and transcriptional activity.
[0003] HOX genes are usually lowly expressed or strictly regulated in adult tissues, but abnormal activation of HOXA1 has been confirmed to be closely related to the malignant progression of various cancers. In breast cancer, high expression of HOXA1 can drive oncogenic transformation by activating the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), Janus kinase / signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK / STAT) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, and its high expression is significantly associated with poor prognosis. In lung cancer and liver cancer, HOXA1 can promote tumor invasiveness by regulating the epigenetic state of MEIS3 enhancer, and is also related to immune escape. In prostate cancer and ovarian cancer, HOXA1 promotes tumor metastasis by participating in the non-coding RNA regulatory network. In leukemia, the oncogenic activity of HOXA1 is related to the JAK3 / STAT5B mutation-driven pathway. In addition, members of the HOXA cluster can interact with various cofactors and chromatin remodeling complexes, thereby affecting the epigenetic state and transcriptional output of cancer cells. Importantly, high expression of HOXA1 can lead to cisplatin resistance by activating downstream survival pathways, and silencing HOXA1 can effectively reverse this chemotherapy resistance.
[0004] In view of the oncogenic properties of HOXA1, targeting this transcription factor becomes a highly potential anti-tumor therapeutic strategy. There are mainly two ways to inhibit HOXA1: indirectly regulating its expression, or directly destroying its protein function. The indirect strategy usually involves regulating epigenetic regulatory factors or upstream signaling pathways, for example, inhibition of the menin-KMT2A complex can inhibit the transcription of the HOX gene cluster, thereby reducing the expression of HOXA. Notably, the menin inhibitor SNDX-5613 has been approved for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. The direct targeting strategy targets the functionally essential domains of HOXA1 protein, especially the homeodomain and the N-terminal hexapeptide motif, both of which are essential for its transcriptional activity. Although progress has been made in indirect regulation, there is currently no report on small molecule inhibitors directly targeting HOXA1.
[0005] The present study aims to obtain a class of compounds with tumor inhibitory activity by studying compounds directly targeting the functional domains of HOXA1. SUMMARY

[0105] Example 1 The HOXA1 protein structure was predicted using AlphaFold 3.0. Protein pretreatment followed standard procedures: all co-crystallization water molecules were removed, and potential structural issues were corrected using the "CleanProtein" and "PrepareProtein" modules in Discovery Studio software (including simulating missing ring regions, removing alternative conformations, adding hydrogen atoms, and specifying protonation states at pH 7.0). The active site was defined using spatial coordinates (X = -2.551 Å, Y = 14.504 Å, Z = -4.580 Å), with a docking sphere radius of 9 Å. Compound F2 underwent total energy minimization before docking, and structure-based virtual screening was performed using the LibDock module in Discovery Studio 3.0. The conformation of F2 at the docking site, the two-dimensional interaction between F2 and HOXA1, and a schematic diagram of the interaction are shown below. Figure 1 As shown.
[0106] Example 2 HepG2 cells were seeded in 12-well plates in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. The cells were transfected with the designated luciferase reporter gene plasmid using Lipofectamine™ 3000 (Thermo Fisher, catalog number L3000008) according to the manufacturer's instructions, with pTK-Renilla as the internal control plasmid. Twenty-four hours after transfection, cells were treated with 20 μM compound F2 for 48 hours as the experimental group, and an equal volume of medium was used to treat cells for 48 hours as the control group. After cell lysis, luciferase activity was measured using a dual-luciferase assay kit (Promega, Madison, Wisconsin, USA, catalog number E1910).
[0107] The results show that... Figure 2 As shown, F2 has a good inhibitory effect on the transcriptional activity of HOXA1.
[0108] Example 3 Lung cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer are among the most common and deadliest malignant tumors worldwide, and HOXA1 is highly expressed in these tumor types. Therefore, this invention evaluated the antiproliferative activity of 26 synthetic compounds (F2, F2-1~F2-25) at a concentration of 20 μM against four human cancer cell lines (HepG2 liver cancer cells, NCI-H1975 lung cancer cells, HCT116 colorectal cancer cells, and MCF-7 breast cancer cells), using cisplatin as a positive control.
[0109] Cells were seeded at a density of 3000 cells per well in 96-well plates with 100 μL of culture medium per well, and each sample was divided into 3 replicates. Cells were cultured under standard conditions: 37 ℃ in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. HepG2 and MCF-7 cells were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. HCT116 cells were cultured in McCoy's 5A medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin; NCI-H1975 used 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin; After culturing for 12 h, 20 μM of the compound was added to each well, and the culture was continued for 48 h. Then, 10 μL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well, and the mixture was incubated at 37 °C in the dark for 2 h. Finally, the absorbance was measured at 450 nm, and the antiproliferative activity of the compound was calculated using software. For compounds (F2-15, F2, F2-16, F2-10) exhibiting significant anti-proliferative activity, IC50 analysis was performed. 50 Measurement: HepG2, MCF-7, and HCT116 cells were seeded at a density of 4000 cells / well in 96-well plates and cultured at 37 °C for 12 h. The test drugs were prepared to concentrations of 100 μM, 50 μM, 25 μM, 12.5 μM, 6.25 μM, 3.125 μM, 1.56 μM, and 0.78 μM using the corresponding 2:1 dilution method with the appropriate medium. The original culture medium was discarded, and 100 μL of the corresponding concentration of drug-containing medium was added to each well. The cells were cultured at 37 °C for 48 h. Then, 10 μL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well, and the cells were incubated at 37 °C in the dark for 2 h. Finally, the absorbance was measured at 450 nm, and the IC50 of the compounds was calculated using software. 50 Value, per IC 50 The values were obtained through three independent experiments, and the results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the results indicate that the compounds used in the test exhibited dose-dependent antiproliferative activity.
[0110] HepG2 and MCF-7 were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin.
[0111] HCT116 cells were cultured in McCoy's 5A medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin.
[0112] Example of effect 4 To evaluate the efficacy of F2-15 combined with cisplatin in killing cancer cells, colorectal cancer patient-derived xenografts (PDX) and triple-negative breast cancer PDX were subcutaneously transplanted into 6-week-old female nude mice (nu / nu). On day 12 after subcutaneous tumor transplantation, when the tumor volume reached 150-200 mm³, the mice were randomly divided into four groups: a solvent control group (saline), a cisplatin group (1 mg / kg), an F2-15 group (20 mg / kg), and a cisplatin (1 mg / kg) + F2-15 (20 mg / kg) combination group. Tumor volume was measured according to the xenograft experimental protocol.
[0113] Drug administration began on day 12 after subcutaneous tumor transplantation. Cisplatin was administered via intraperitoneal injection every two days, while group F2-15 received intraperitoneal injection once daily. Mice were sacrificed on day 25, and liver and kidney weights were measured.
[0114] All animal experimental procedures were strictly performed in accordance with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Guidelines for the Feeding and Use of Laboratory Animals (2011, National Academy of Sciences Press).
[0115] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, F2-15 significantly inhibited tumor growth and made the colorectal cancer PDX model and the triple-negative breast cancer PDX model sensitive to cisplatin.
[0116] Plasma toxicity analysis: After treatment, blood was collected retroorbitally under isoflurane anesthesia. After blood coagulation, the blood was centrifuged at 3000×g for 10 minutes. Toxicity indicators (alanine aminotransferase ALT, aspartate aminotransferase AST, total protein TP, blood urea nitrogen BUN, creatinine), albumin (ALB), total bilirubin (TBIL), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and total bile acids (TBA)) were measured on an automated clinical chemistry analyzer using standardized commercial kits to assess liver function. Renal function was assessed by analyzing creatinine (CRE) and uric acid (UA) levels.
[0117] The body weight (L), liver weight (M), and kidney weight (N) of mice treated with F2-15, as well as the levels of ALT (O), AST (P), TP (Q), ALB (R), TBIL (S), ALP (T), TBA (U), CRE (V), and UA (W) in blood samples (n=5) were measured and analyzed, and compared with the solvent group. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, compound F2-15 exhibits good safety.
[0118] Xenograft tumor specimens were prepared into paraffin-embedded blocks and cut into 4 μm thick sections. After dewaxing with xylene and rehydration with graded ethanol, the sections were autoclaved with citrate buffer for antigen retrieval. The sections were then treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide at room temperature for 10 minutes to inhibit endogenous peroxidase activity, followed by blocking with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) at room temperature for 1 hour. The sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody, washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and then incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 hour. The sections were developed with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB, G1212, Servicebio) for 2–5 minutes, counterstained with hematoxylin, and observed and imaged under a Nikon microscope at 40× magnification.
[0119] The primary antibodies used included: HOXA1 antibody (HUABIO, catalog number ER63703, dilution ratio 1:1000), tubulin antibody (ABclonal, catalog number A6830, dilution ratio 1:1000), rabbit IgG (ABclonal, catalog number AS014, dilution ratio 1:3000), and mouse IgG (ABclonal, catalog number AS003, dilution ratio 1:3000).
[0120] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown, F2-15 significantly reduced the expression of HOXA1 and the proliferation marker Ki67, while increasing the staining of Caspase-3 in the cisplatin-treated group.
