Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical compound preparation technology, specifically relating to a 5-(1H-indol-6-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carboxylhydrazine derivative, its preparation method, and its uses. Background Technology

[0002] Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in men, with high incidence and mortality rates. In recent years, the number of prostate cancer cases has been steadily increasing, making it a significant type of common male malignant tumor. Prostate cancer typically has an insidious onset, with atypical early symptoms, and middle-aged and elderly men are the primary susceptible population. Current clinical treatments mainly involve surgery, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy. However, the proportion of patients who can undergo radical surgery is limited, and androgen deprivation therapy eventually leads to drug resistance in most patients, progressing to castration-resistant prostate cancer. Traditional chemotherapy drugs also suffer from insufficient selectivity, high toxicity, and a tendency to induce drug resistance, limiting further improvements in treatment efficacy.

[0003] Nur77 is a product of the immediate early gene and can be induced by various stimuli, including growth factors, cellular stress, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and pro-apoptotic drugs. Studies have shown that Nur77 expression is low in normal tissues but high in various solid tumors, including prostate cancer. Its expression level is closely related to the occurrence, progression, and treatment response of prostate cancer. Existing literature indicates that pyrimidine indole derivatives exert anti-tumor effects by regulating the expression or function of Nur77, thereby blocking tumor cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis. This suggests that Nur77 has potential important drug target value in prostate cancer. However, there are currently few drugs targeting Nur77 regulation, therefore, there is an urgent need to develop more safe, effective, and well-targeted prostate cancer treatment strategies and drugs to improve patient prognosis and survival rates.

[0051] The three compounds prepared above were subjected to anti-prostate cancer related experiments, as detailed below.

[0052] The in vitro anti-prostate cancer activity and toxicity of these compounds were evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. Seven concentrations (0.78125 M, 1.5625 M, 3.125 M, 6.25 M, 12.5 M, 25.0 M, and 50 M) were set up. The compounds were diluted to the corresponding concentrations with serum-free medium before administration. Cell viability was measured after 48 hours, and the IC50 was calculated. 50 The values ​​were calculated, with different cell types representing normal human prostate epithelial cells RWPE-1, prostate cancer cells PC-3, and C4-2B. The results are shown in Table 1. YY-6 exhibited significant inhibitory effects on prostate cancer cells PC-3 and C4-2B, while showing relatively low toxicity to normal prostate epithelial cells.

[0053] Table 1. CCK-8 assay for screening compounds for cytotoxicity. The results above show that YY-6 has the best effect. Next, we will use flow cytometry to detect apoptosis of YY-6, a compound with good anti-cancer activity and low toxicity to normal cells.

[0054] PC-3 cells were treated with 1.5M and 3M YY-6 for 24 h, respectively. Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry to evaluate the pro-apoptotic effect of YY-6. The flow cytometry results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, YY-6 can significantly induce apoptosis in prostate cancer cells.

[0055] Studies have shown that Nur77 plays a crucial role in regulating the growth, survival, and apoptosis of prostate cancer cells, making it a potential therapeutic target for prostate cancer. To investigate whether YY-6 exerts its effects through Nur77, Western blotting was used to detect its influence on Nur77 expression. PC-3 cells were treated with 0.75M, 1.5M, and 3M YY-6 for 3 hours, with an equal amount of dimethyl sulfoxide added as a control. Nur77 protein expression levels were detected by Western blotting, with GAPDH used as an internal control to analyze the regulatory effect of YY-6 on Nur77 expression. The results are as follows: Figure 2 The results show that, compared with the control group, YY-6 can downregulate the protein expression of Nur77 in a concentration-dependent manner.

[0056] To further clarify the association between YY-6-induced Nur77 downregulation and apoptosis, a PC-3 cell line stably overexpressing Nur77 was constructed, with GAPDH used as an internal control. Subsequently, PC-3 and PC-3-Nur77-OE cells were treated with 2M YY-6 for 12 h, and the cleavage level of PARP protein was detected by Western blotting. Results are as follows: Figure 3 The results show that under Nur77 overexpression conditions, YY-6-induced PARP cleavage is significantly reduced. Figure 3 It can be seen that the upregulation of Nur77 can partially reverse the YY-6-mediated apoptosis effect.
