TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of anti-tumor drug development, and particularly relates to an anti-tumor drug compound targeting mitochondrial topoisomerase I and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mainly exists in the nucleus and mitochondria, and is a carrier of genetic information. DNA is closely related to the growth, development and canceration of organisms, and thus is the most common target of anti-tumor drugs. Further twisting of double helix DNA forms a tertiary structure of DNA, and supercoiling is the main form of the tertiary structure of DNA. According to the twisting direction, supercoiled DNA can be divided into positive supercoiling and negative supercoiling. When DNA is in a "relaxed" state, the two strands of the double helix usually twist along the middle axis in a way that one turn is placed every 10.4-10.5 base pairs to produce supercoiling. If the twisting direction of DNA is consistent with the rotation direction of the double helix, it is called positive supercoiling, and vice versa.
[0003] As a carrier of genetic information, DNA mainly exists in a supercoiled state in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. DNA supercoiling plays a crucial role in the normal growth and proliferation of cells, and its supercoiled state needs to be regulated by topoisomerases. During the processes of transcription, replication and gene expression, the DNA double helix needs to be constantly converted between supercoiled and uncoiled states, and all these physiological processes need the regulation of DNA topoisomerases. Topoisomerases can change the topological structure of DNA by repeatedly breaking and connecting the phosphodiester bonds of DNA through two consecutive transesterification reactions. The activity of topoisomerases in normal cells is strictly controlled, but in tumor cells, the activity is in a high level of expression state, so topoisomerases are a new drug target. SUMMARY

[0090] (1) UV-visible absorption spectrum of the drug MitoA and its stability
[0091] A test mother liquor of the drug obtained in Example 1 at a concentration of 1 mmol / L in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was prepared for use.
[0092] It was added to a deionized water solution, shaken well, diluted to 10 μmol / L of the drug working solution, and the solution was transferred to a cuvette using ultrasonic equipment to remove air bubbles. The UV-visible absorption spectrum of the solution was determined, and the UV-visible absorption spectrum is shown in Figure 2 .

[0128] Specifically, the co-localization of the mitochondrial channel luminescence mode was studied using MitoTracker Deep Red FM and MitoA, and a high co-localization coefficient (Pearson coefficient: 0.71) was observed, indicating effective mitochondrial targeting accumulation, and the co-localization coefficient of MitoA and MitoTracker Deep Red FM is shown in Figure 11 , the results show that drug MitoA specifically targets mitochondria.
[0129] (9) Cell toxicity test of drug MitoA
[0130] Prepare a test stock solution of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) containing the drug obtained in Example 1 at a concentration of 1mmol / L for later use.
[0131] Prepare a test stock solution of 0.9% physiological saline containing drug CDDP at a concentration of 2mmol / L for later use.
[0132] Cell toxicity was determined by MTT method, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0133] S1: The experimental cells were placed in a culture incubator at 37℃, 5% CO2 saturated humidity, and grown to the logarithmic phase, 0.25% trypsin was used to collect cells, the concentration of cell suspension was adjusted, and the cell density was about 1.0×10 4 / mL, 100mL per well was inoculated into a 96-well plate, and the cell density was about 3-5×10 3 / well. Incubate in a 37℃, 5% CO2 saturated humidity incubator for 24h.
[0134] S2: Add drugs. Add drugs at different concentration gradients. Perform three parallel samples for each concentration. The positive control group (culture medium, cells, different concentrations of CDDP, MTT, DMSO) is incubated at 37℃ and 5% CO2 saturated humidity for 44 hours. The experimental group (culture medium, cells, different concentrations of MitoA, MTT, DMSO) is incubated at 37℃ and 5% CO2 saturated humidity for 44 hours. The blank group (culture medium, cells, MTT, DMSO) is incubated at 37℃ and 5% CO2 saturated humidity for 44 hours.
[0135] S3: Add 20 μL of MTT solution (5 mg / mL, i.e., 0.5% MTT) to each well and continue culturing for 4 h.
[0136] S4: Terminate the culture, discard the culture medium in the wells, add 150 mL of DMSO to each well, and place on a shaker at low speed for 30 min to fully dissolve the crystals. Detect the OD value of each well at 595 nm wavelength using an ELISA reader, and determine the related cell proliferation inhibition rate and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50). 50 The growth inhibition rate is calculated using the following formula: Growth inhibition rate = 1 - [OD] 实验 / OD 空白 By plotting the inhibition rate against drug concentration, a dose-response curve can be obtained, such as... Figure 12 As shown; calculate IC from it. 50 The values are shown in Table 1.
