Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of small molecule drugs, specifically to a compound with mixed-lineage kinase 3 inhibitory activity, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Mixed lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) is a 97 kDa serine / threonine protein kinase, a core member of the MAP3K family. Its molecular structure includes an SH3 domain, a kinase domain, a double leucine zipper, and a CDC42 / Rac interaction binding motif (CRIB). By regulating MAPK signaling pathways such as JNK, p38, and ERK, it is deeply involved in key physiological processes such as cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. Aberrant activation or mutation of MLK3 is closely related to the development of various diseases, especially exhibiting a clear oncogenic driving role in the field of oncology, making it an important target for small molecule drug development.
[0003] In tumor pathology, the pro-cancer function of MLK3 has been confirmed by multiple studies: In glioblastoma, EGFR signaling drives tumor cell invasion through the DOCK180-Rac1-MLK3-JNK axis, leading to a persistently high recurrence rate after surgical resection and a patient survival of only 12-15 months; in breast cancer, MLK3 regulates focal adhesion turnover through phosphopelin, promoting CXCL12-mediated tumor metastasis, and its high expression is significantly associated with the risk of lung metastasis; in gastrointestinal tumors, 21% of microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype tumors have somatic mutations in MLK3, these mutations are concentrated in the kinase domain, possess in vitro transformation ability and in vivo tumorigenic activity, and are associated with KRAS / BRAF wild-type tumors. Furthermore, MLK3 also promotes tumor progression in diseases such as ovarian cancer and acoustic neuroma by aberrantly activating the MAPK pathway, and its inhibitors hold promise as a universal strategy for the treatment of multiple cancers.
[0004] Although the clinical value of MLK3 as a target is clear, significant technical bottlenecks remain in the development of existing inhibitors. Currently reported MLK3 inhibitors are represented by URMC-099, whose in vitro IC50... 50 It has a value of 14 nM and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, but its kinase selectivity is extremely poor, particularly for FLT3 (IC50). 50 =4nM), ABL1 (IC 50 =3nM), LRRK2 (IC 50Multiple kinases, including MLK3 (11 nM), exhibit strong inhibitory activity, leading to significant off-target effects during in vivo application and easily causing side effects such as bone marrow suppression and cardiovascular toxicity, thus limiting their clinical translation. Early patented technologies, such as the multi-lineage kinase inhibitor disclosed in CN1458979A, primarily target neurodegenerative diseases, failing to focus on MLK3's application in cancer treatment and lacking selectivity for MLK family members. Furthermore, while natural derivatives such as licorice-derived DHGA-D can directly bind to MLK3 and inhibit its activity, they are mainly used in anti-inflammatory fields, exhibiting weak anti-tumor activity and low bioavailability.
[0005] From a clinical perspective, existing treatments for MLK3-related tumors have significant limitations: glioblastomas easily develop resistance to radiotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapies, and tumor invasion often makes complete resection impossible; the 5-year survival rate for metastatic breast cancer patients is less than 30%, and there is a lack of targeted drugs targeting the metastatic mechanism; MSI-type gastrointestinal tumors have low sensitivity to chemotherapy, necessitating novel therapeutic drugs with specific targets. Therefore, developing MLK3 small molecule inhibitors with high selectivity, high activity, and favorable pharmacokinetic properties can effectively overcome the technical shortcomings of existing drugs, such as poor selectivity and high toxicity, providing new treatment options for related diseases and possessing significant clinical value and market potential.
