Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular to a cyclic metal organogold (III) complex and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of clinical cancer treatment, chemotherapy remains an important means of combating malignant tumors. Although platinum-based drugs, represented by cisplatin, are widely used in chemotherapy for various malignant tumors, metal complexes have shown unique advantages in cancer chemotherapy due to their structural diversity and controllable biological effects. Among them, gold (III) complexes are particularly regarded as potential candidate drugs to overcome cisplatin resistance and toxic side effects. At the same time, in order to improve the stability of gold (III) complexes, the research focus has been on stabilizing the metal center through the rational design of ligands. The application of ring metallization strategy (introducing carbon-metal σ bonds) and strong field chelating ligands (such as C^N type donors) has been proven to be an effective way to enhance the redox stability of complexes. In addition, the research team has previously used isoquinoline alkaloids as ligands to verify their anticancer potential in platinum, ruthenium and other metal complexes, which has provided a foundation for the subsequent design of gold (III) complexes.
[0003] Currently, some gold (III) complexes have shown excellent antitumor activity in in vitro and in vivo models. In particular, cyclic metallized gold (III) complexes containing strong electron donor auxiliary ligands have further demonstrated excellent stability and significant antitumor effects. Based on previous research on isoquinoline alkaloid ligands, the concept of natural active molecular ligands and gold (III) centers has become an important practical direction for the development of gold (III) antitumor complexes.
[0004] However, the development of existing gold (III) complexes still faces key limitations: their inherent chemical instability is prominent, they are easily reduced under physiological conditions, and they have problems such as photosensitivity and kinetic instability, resulting in a lack of reliable in vivo antitumor efficacy pharmacological data for this type of compound, which seriously restricts further development; at the same time, the serious toxic side effects of traditional platinum drugs and the problem of tumor cells easily developing drug resistance have not been effectively solved, limiting their efficacy and application.

[0060] The following experiments, conducted based on the above description, investigated the in vitro inhibitory activity of cyclic metallo-organogold (III) complexes against various cancer cell lines, specifically including: 1. Cell lines and cell culture The cell lines used in the experiment were: mouse triple-negative breast cancer cells (4T1 cells), human triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 cells), human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), mouse colon cancer cells (CT-26), and mouse melanoma cells (B16-F10).
[0061] 4T1 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% sodium pyruvate, 100 U / mL penicillin, and 100 μg / mL streptomycin; MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U / mL penicillin, and 100 μg / mL streptomycin; CT-26 and B16-F10 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U / mL penicillin, and 100 μg / mL streptomycin. All media were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. The growth of 4T1, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, CT-26, and B16-F10 cells was observed using an inverted microscope. Cells were passaged using 0.25% trypsin, and cells in the logarithmic growth phase were used for experiments.
[0062] 2. Preparation of the solution of the organometallic (III) complex of the analyte ring Five test ring-metal organogold complexes, Au-1, Au-2, Au-3, Au-4, and Au-5, were prepared according to the methods described in Examples 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 of this invention, respectively. The products were all recrystallized twice from dichloromethane, and their purity was ≥95%. N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) stock solutions (2 mmol / L) of the test ring-metal organogold complexes Au-1, Au-2, Au-3, Au-4, and Au-5 were sequentially diluted to five concentration gradients (20 μmol / L, 10 μmol / L, 5 μmol / L, 2.5 μmol / L, 1.25 μmol / L, and 0.625 μmol / L) using RPMI-1640 or DMEM medium, with a final DMF concentration ≤1%, to test the inhibitory effects of different compounds on the growth of various cancer cells at different concentrations.
[0063] 3. Cell growth inhibition assay First, logarithmically growing 4T1 cells, MDA-MB-231 cells, MCF-7 cells, CT-26 cells, and B16-F10 cells were digested with trypsin and then cultured in medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum to prepare cell suspensions. 180 µL of each suspension was seeded into 96-well plates as experimental groups, ensuring a cell density of 1000-10000 cells / well. The edge wells were filled with sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Next, the cells were incubated in a 5% CO2, 37℃ incubator for 24 hours until 4T1 cells, MDA-MB-231 cells, MCF-7 cells, CT-26 cells and B16-F10 cells covered 60%~70% of the bottom of the experimental group wells in monolayer. 20µL of a solution of a certain concentration of the test ring metal-type organogold complex (Au-1, Au-2, Au-3, Au-4 and Au-5) was added to each well, with 5 replicates for each concentration. Next, the cells were incubated in a 5% CO2, 37°C incubator for 48 hours and observed under an inverted microscope. Then, add 20 µL of MTT solution (concentration of 5 mg / mL) to each well and incubate for another 4 h in an incubator; Subsequently, the culture was terminated, and the culture medium in the wells was carefully aspirated. 150 µL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added to each well to fully dissolve the formazan precipitate formed in 4T1, MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, CT-26, and B16-F10 cells after the addition of MTT solution. After vortexing to mix, the optical density of each well was measured using a microplate reader at a wavelength of 570 nm (reference wavelength 630 nm). Density (OD) values were measured, and zeroing and control wells were set up. The zeroing wells included culture medium, 20 µL of MTT solution (concentration of 5 mg / mL) and 150 µL of DMSO. The control wells included 4T1 cells, MDA-MB-231 cells, MCF-7 cells, CT-26 cells and B16-F10 cells with the same number and condition as the experimental group, DMF at the same concentration as the experimental group, 20 µL of culture medium, 20 µL of MTT solution (concentration of 5 mg / mL) and 150 µL of DMSO.
[0064] Finally, the number of viable cells is determined based on the measured OD value; the higher the OD value, the stronger the cell activity. The inhibition rate of the compound on cancer cell growth is calculated using the formula: Cell growth inhibition rate = (OD value - OD value) / (Cell growth inhibition rate = OD value - OD value) 对照组 -OD 实验组 The inhibition rate data at five concentration gradients were fitted using the Bliss method to determine the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 value, in μmol / L) of the cyclic metallo-organogold complex against cancer cells.
[0065] Based on the above information, the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0066] Table 1. IC50 values (μmol / L) of Au-1~Au-5 and cisplatin against five cancer cell lines.
[0067] The IC50 values of cisplatin in Table 1 50The values are derived from existing technology. Based on in vitro growth inhibition activity tests on cancer cells (4T1 cells, MDA-MB-231 cells, MCF-7 cells, CT-26 cells, and B16-F10 cells), the cyclic metalloid organogold complexes Au-1~Au-5 exhibited varying degrees of antitumor activity, with the best activity against CT-26 colon cancer cells (IC500). 50 The values ranged from 1.03 μM to 9.98 μM. Au-1 showed the best inhibitory activity against all five cancer cell lines, with an IC50 value of [missing value]. 50 The values range from 1.03 μM to 6.98 μM, and are all lower than the IC50 of cisplatin. 50 The value further proves that the cyclic metal organogold (III) complex of the present invention exhibits good in vitro antitumor activity against colon cancer cells and has potential medicinal value.
[0068] In addition, the present invention also conducted physiological stability experiments on cyclic organometallic gold (III) complexes, specifically including: 10 μL of Au-1 DMF stock solution (2 mmol / L) was added to 1 mL of TBS solution and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h and 48 h. After incubation, the changes were detected using a Waters Alliance e2695 HPLC system. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0070] 10 μL of Au-3 DMF stock solution (2 mmol / L) was added to 1 mL of TBS solution and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h and 48 h. After incubation, the changes were detected using a Waters Alliance e2695 HPLC system. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0071] 10 μL of Au-4 DMF stock solution (2 mmol / L) was added to 1 mL of TBS solution and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h and 48 h. After incubation, the changes were detected using a Waters Alliance e2695 HPLC system. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0072] 10 μL of Au-5 DMF stock solution (2 mmol / L) was added to 1 mL of TBS solution and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h and 48 h. After incubation, the changes were detected using a Waters Alliance e2695 HPLC system. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown.
[0073] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, after 24 h and 48 h of treatment, no other obvious peaks of other components appeared in the cyclic organometallic gold (III) complexes of the present invention, indicating that the cyclic organometallic gold (Au-1, Au-2, Au-3, Au-4 and Au-5) complexes are stable in physiological buffer solutions, which further verifies the application of the cyclic organometallic gold (III) complexes provided by the present invention in the preparation of antitumor drugs.
[0074] Therefore, by employing the above-mentioned cyclic metal organogold (III) complex and its preparation method, the present invention significantly inhibits the proliferation of colon cancer cells and exhibits high physiological stability, providing technical support for the development of a new generation of anti-tumor metal drugs.
