Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical pharmaceutical technology, and specifically relates to the preparation and application of a USP5 inhibitor compound. Background Technology

[0002] The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a core mechanism for regulating protein homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), as important components of this system, maintain target protein stability and participate in the fine regulation of various signaling pathways by reversing the ubiquitination modification of substrate proteins. Currently, approximately 100 DUB-encoding genes have been identified in the human genome, belonging to five families: USP, UCH, OTU, MJD, and JAMM / MPN+. The USP family has the largest number of members and exhibits abnormally high expression in various malignant tumors, making it an important target for anti-tumor drug development. Studies have confirmed that small-molecule inhibitors targeting DUBs such as USP7 and UCHL1 have shown good efficacy in hematological malignancies and neurodegenerative diseases, with some already in clinical trials. For example, the invention patent with publication number CN105705504A discloses a deubiquitinase inhibitor and its usage method, providing compounds that can inhibit DUBs and related strategies, which can be used to treat pathogenic infections, inhibit cell proliferation, reduce cell survival rate or inhibit tumor metastasis, and have application prospects in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and their symptoms.

[0003] USP5 is a widely expressed member of the USP family, traditionally believed to primarily participate in the cleavage and recycling of free polyubiquitin chains. In recent years, increasing research has revealed significantly elevated USP5 expression levels in various solid tumors, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and glioblastoma, and its close association with poor prognosis. For example, patent CN118203576A discloses a combined anti-tumor application of a USP5 inhibitor and a PD-1 antibody. This study, using the YTH domain as a key region for YTHDF1 protein ubiquitination modification, screened and obtained the deubiquitinating enzyme USP5 inhibitor WP1130, demonstrating that it negatively regulates PD-L1 expression levels by interfering with YTHDF1 protein homeostasis.

[0004] Although the important role of USP5 in tumorigenesis and development is gradually being recognized, there are currently no approved inhibitors for USP5, nor are there any candidate drugs that have entered the clinical stage. Existing small molecule compounds (such as G9 and Spautin-1) generally suffer from poor metabolic stability and low bioavailability, which severely limits their further application as chemical probes or therapeutic drugs.

[0005] Therefore, developing a class of novel small molecule compounds with good metabolic stability and bioavailability that can efficiently target USP5 and induce tumor cell death is of great scientific significance and clinical application value. Summary of the Invention

[0142] Example of implementation effect 1

[0143] The USP5 enzymatic inhibitory activity of the N-pyridine piperazine compounds prepared in Examples 1-3 was studied, as follows:

[0144] The in vitro enzyme activity of USP was assessed using the Ub-AMC (C-terminal-7-acylamino-labeled ubiquitin protein-4-methylcoumarin-labeled) method. The direct interaction between the small molecule and deubiquitinating enzymes was evaluated to assess the activity of the small molecule, with commercially available USP5 inhibitors WP1130 and USP5-IN-1 used as positive controls. The fluorescent substrate AMC does not emit fluorescence when bound to the ubiquitin chain. When USP cleaves the fluorescent substrate AMC from the ubiquitin chain, AMC emits fluorescence. The degree of inhibition by USP was analyzed by detecting the fluorescence intensity. Experiments were performed in 96-well black polypropylene microplates (TECAN) at a volume of 200 μL. Fluorescence measurements were performed using a multi-functional microplate detector (TECAN) with an excitation wavelength of 345 nm and an emission wavelength of 445 nm. 2 nM of USP5 was added to each well. 1−858Different concentrations of the compound were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour.

After 12 hours, the medium was replaced with different concentration gradients of N-pyridine piperazine compounds (or positive controls WP1130 and USP5-IN-1), and the zero wells were replaced with normal medium. Five replicates were set for each concentration gradient, and the plates were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Cell status and growth changes were observed under a microscope after 24 hours. After 48 hours, tetramethylazoazol blue (Kaiji Biotechnology, 5 mg / mL) solution was added to each well, and the plates were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator.

[0156] The plasma metabolic stability of the N-pyridine piperazine compound T13 prepared in Example 3 was evaluated, and the details are as follows:

[0157] Plasma metabolic stability was assessed using WP1130 as a positive control.

[0158] The specific method for evaluating plasma metabolic stability is as follows: Weigh a sample (2.00 mg), dissolve it in acetonitrile (1.00 ml), and prepare a standard solution with a concentration of 2.00 mg / mL. After sonication, filter through a 0.22 μL filter membrane. Observe the solution with the naked eye until it is clear and free of residue, then set aside. Dilute the 2 mg / mL standard stock solution sequentially to 1 mg / mL, 0.5 mg / mL, 0.25 mg / mL, and 0.125 mg / mL. Optimal elution time and peak shape of the 2 mg / mL standard were determined by adjusting the mobile phase conditions (MeCN / H2O = 95:5). The peak area of ​​samples at different concentrations was measured, and the linear regression equation of the standard curve was calculated.

[0159] SD rat plasma (0.800 mL) was mixed with 40 μL of a 1 mg / mL standard solution to obtain a plasma sample with a concentration of 0.095 mg / mL. Timing was started after adding the standard solution. Subsequently, at 0 h, 0.5 h, 1 h, 1.5 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, and 12 h, 50 μL of plasma sample was collected, and 250 μL of acetonitrile precipitant was added. After vortexing, the sample was centrifuged at 12000 rpm (4℃, 12000 rpm, 12 min). The supernatant was filtered through a membrane and then injected for analysis. The sample concentration at different time points was calculated using the linear regression equation of the standard curve. The results are shown in Table 3.

Then, a certain amount of NADPH was weighed and dissolved in an appropriate amount of magnesium chloride solution to prepare a 2 mM solution. A mixed solution (excluding NADPH) was prepared according to the composition ratio of the experimental incubation system (3 Mm MgCl2-PB solution, 1 μM compound T13, 0.5 mg / mL liver microsomes), and dispensed in 40 μL tubes. For the 0 min sample, 240 μL of internal standard working precipitant was added, followed by 40 μL of NADPH solution (40 μL of magnesium chloride solution was added to the negative control group). For other samples, 40 μL of NADPH solution was added to initiate the reaction (40 μL of magnesium chloride solution was added to the negative control group).
