Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, specifically to a protein degrader targeting KDM5 and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Histone lysine-specific demethylase 5 (KDM5) utilizes the cofactors α-ketoglutarate and Fe... 2+ KDM5 exhibits a mechanism-dependent ability to demethylate and trimethylate methyl groups at H3K4 sites, thereby regulating gene expression and transcriptional activity. In addition to its classic histone demethylase activity, KDM5 also possesses non-catalytic functions independent of enzyme activity, which play crucial roles in the occurrence and development of various diseases. Therefore, simultaneously targeting both the enzymatic and non-enzymatic functions of KDM5 may be a superior strategy for its effective development as a drug target. Targeted protein degraders are heterobifunctional molecules that recruit disease-related proteins to E3 ubiquitin ligases, utilizing the ubiquitin-proteasome mechanism to degrade target proteins, achieving dual regulation of protease and non-enzymatic functions. While KDM5-targeted degraders have been reported, their degradation efficiency is low due to the use of different KDM5 ligands or E3 ligase ligands, limiting their clinical application. Given the importance of KDM5 in disease treatment, there is an urgent need to develop safe, efficient, and structurally novel KDM5 degraders to provide a material basis for innovative drug research targeting KDM5.

[0032] The preparation method specifically includes the following steps: Compound KD-22 (200 mg, 0.33 mmol) obtained in Example 21 was added to methanol (8 mL) and 10% palladium on carbon (55% water, 30 mg), and reacted overnight under hydrogen atmosphere.

It was a white solid with a yield of 76%. 1 H NMR (600 MHz, DMSO- d 6) δ 12.90 (d, J = 15.4 Hz, 1H), 11.12 (s, 1H), 7.83 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.76 (d, J= 4.3 Hz, 1H), 7.72 – 7.68(m, 1H), 6.37 (d, J = 7.2 Hz, 1H), 6.10 (d, J = 6.0 Hz, 2H), 5.75 – 5.68 (m,1H), 5.14 (dd, J = 12.9, 5.4 Hz, 1H), 4.12 – 4.06 (m, 1H), 3.99 – 3.87 (m,1H), 3.67 – 3.58 (m, 1H), 3.56 – 3.47 (m, 1H), 3.32 – 3.27 (m, 1H), 3.13 –3.06 (m, 1H), 3.00 – 2.86 (m, 4H), 2.77 (q, J = 6.9 Hz, 2H), 2.63 – 2.58 (m,2H), 2.58 – 2.52 (m, 1H), 2.10 – 1.96 (m, 2H), 1.80 – 1.67 (m, 1H), 1.64 –1.59 (m, 2H), 1.37 – 1.31 (m, 2H), 1.30 – 1.24 (m, 4H), 1.22 (d, J = 6.6 Hz, 6H). Experimental example: (1) Evaluation of the degradation activity of PROTACs targeting KDM5A and KDM5B degradation in paclitaxel-resistant MDA-MB-231 cells (MDA-MB-231 / PTX) To evaluate the degradation ability of KDM5-targeting protein degraders on KDM5A and KDM5B, this invention selected paclitaxel (PTX)-resistant MDA-MB-231 / PTX cells with high KDM5A and KDM5B expression for screening. The compound was set at a concentration of 3.0 μmol / L, and after treating MDA-MB-231 / PTX cells for 24 h, cellular protein samples were collected for Western blotting experiments.
[0033] Experimental results are as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure. The results showed that KD-14, KD-19, and KD-22 exhibited degradation activity against KDM5A and KDM5B. Figure 1(See Figures A and B). Further, three concentration gradients of 1.0 μmol / L, 3.0 μmol / L, and 10.0 μmol / L were set up for the three compounds to verify their degradation activities for KDM5A and KDM5B. The results showed that compound KD-22 exhibited the strongest degradation activity.
[0034] To further refine the time-gradient administration of the most active compound, KD-22, MDA-MB-231 / PTX cells was developed. Dosing times were set at seven time points: 0 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 16 h, 20 h, and 24 h. MDA-MB-231 / PTX cells were co-incubated with 3 μmol / L KD-22 for different durations, and cell samples were collected. The levels of KDM5A and KDM5B were then detected using immunoblotting. Similarly, based on the optimal degradation times of the two proteins, a gradient administration was implemented at seven concentrations: 10 nmol / L, 30 nmol / L, 100 nmol / L, 300 nmol / L, 1000 nmol / L, 3000 nmol / L, and 10000 nmol / L. The corresponding concentrations of KD-22 were co-incubated with cells for the optimal degradation time, and cell samples were collected. The levels of KDM5A and KDM5B were then detected using immunoblotting.
[0035] Experimental results are as follows Figure 2 As shown in the figure. The results show that the optimal degradation times for KD-22 of KDM5A and KDM5B are 12 h and 6 h, respectively. Figure 2 (Figure A). Meanwhile, KD-22 can effectively degrade KDM5A and KDM5B in a dose-dependent manner, with a half-maximal degradation concentration (DC). 50 The values were 31.6 nmol / L (12 h) and 22.4 nmol / L (6 h), respectively. Figure 2 (B and 2C). The above data indicate that KD-22 is a highly efficient and promising dual-targeting degrader, laying an important foundation for further research on its mechanism of action and anti-TNBC activity.
[0036] (2) Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of KD-22 on paclitaxel-resistant triple-negative breast cancer KDM5A and KDM5B are key genes mediating TNBC resistance to PTX. Studies have found that KDM5A and KDM5B can activate Tenascin C in a non-methyltransferase-dependent manner, promoting tumor invasion and metastasis. Therefore, inhibitors targeting only KDM5A and KDM5B enzyme activity may not completely inhibit TNBC migration and drug resistance, while simultaneously targeting the degradation of KDM5A and KDM5B holds promise for reversing TNBC resistance to PTX and inhibiting TNBC migration. To this end, this invention established the PTX-resistant 4T1 cell line 4T1 / PTX, and then used this cell line to construct a 4T1 mouse orthotopic TNBC model. When the tumor volume reached 60 mm... 3 Subsequently, mice were administered different concentrations of KD-22 (25 mg / kg and 50 mg / kg) via gavage, and tumor size was measured daily. When the tumor volume in the untreated model group reached 1000 mm², the tumor growth was considered complete. 3 Afterwards, the experiment was terminated, and tumor, liver, spleen, kidney, heart, and lung tissues were removed.
[0037] Experimental results are as follows Figure 3 As shown. The results showed that KD-22 exhibited good activity against PTX-resistant TNBC in vivo ( Figure 3 (Figures A-D), but it showed no significant toxicity to vital organs in mice. Figure 3 Figure E-I). Histopathological examination results showed that KD-22 can effectively inhibit lung metastasis of cells (Figure E-I). Figure 4 (Figure A) and Ki67 expression in tumor tissue ( Figure 4 Figure B), to alleviate tumor-induced splenomegaly ( Figure 3 (See Figure F in the middle). The above results indicate that KD-22 can inhibit the migration and resistance of PTX-resistant TNBC.
[0038] (3) Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of KD-22 on acute liver injury KDM5A and KDM5B are upregulated in acute liver injury in humans and mice, promoting the progression of acute liver injury. This invention first used the CCK8 assay to detect the 48-h cytotoxicity of KD-22 on normal mouse hepatocytes AML12 and human hepatocytes LX-2, and then examined the effects of safe concentrations of KD-22 on LPS / D-GalN-induced expression of inflammatory factors and liver injury markers alanine aminotransferase (AST) and aspartate aminotransferase (ALT).
[0039] Experimental results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in the figure. The results showed that KD-22 did not exhibit significant toxicity to either mouse or human hepatocytes at concentrations below 50 μmol / L. Figure 5(See Figures A and B). Furthermore, KD-22 can reduce the expression of LPS / D-GalN-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-β, and IL-6 (see Figures A and B). Figure 5 (Figures C-H) KD-22 simultaneously reduced AST and ALT levels in cells, and at the same concentration, it was more effective than the positive control drug TK-129. Figure 5 (Figure I-L)
[0040] This invention further established an LPS / D-GalN-induced liver injury model in 6-8 week old male C57 mice and investigated the effect of KD-22 on its survival rate within 24 hours. Liver samples from these mice treated with different drugs for 6 hours were harvested for morphological observation and eosin methylene blue staining.
[0041] Experimental results are as follows Figure 5 As shown. The results showed that KD-22 could increase the survival rate of mice with LPS / D-GalN-induced liver injury in a dose-dependent manner ( Figure 6 (Figure A) KD-22 can alleviate LPS / D-GalN-induced liver necrosis ( Figure 6 (Figure B) and reducing the area of damage in liver tissue ( Figure 6 (Figures C and D). KD-22 is superior to dexamethasone (DEX), a positive drug in the clinical treatment of acute liver injury, in improving mouse survival rate and histopathology.
