AI Technical Summary
Existing PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, have issues with drug resistance in cancer treatment. The high polarity of the drug molecules leaves room for optimization in terms of tissue distribution and pharmacokinetics. Single-target inhibition modes have limited therapeutic depth in the complex tumor microenvironment. Whether quinoline and its carboxylic acid derivatives can enhance the antitumor activity of PARP inhibitors remains unclear.
We designed and synthesized a PARP inhibitor-quinoline carboxylic acid-coupled derivative compound. By introducing a quinoline carboxylic acid structural unit and coupling it with olaparib, we formed a novel PARP inhibitor derivative with multi-target regulation, which enhanced the effects of DNA damage accumulation and anti-tumor cell proliferation inhibition.
This improved the antitumor activity of PARP inhibitors, optimized the antitumor therapeutic effect at the cellular level, and provided a new structural basis for solving the problem of drug resistance.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of antitumor drug technology, specifically relating to PARP inhibitor-quinoline carboxylic acid coupling derivatives, their preparation methods, and uses. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the DNA Damage Response (DDR) pathway has been considered one of the most promising target systems in cancer therapy. Tumor cells, during rapid proliferation, are highly dependent on the DNA repair system to maintain genomic stability, with PARP family proteins playing a central role in recognizing DNA single-strand breaks, recruiting repair proteins, and initiating the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) is a class of intranuclear enzymes that play a crucial role in DNA single-strand break repair, with PARP1 and PARP2 being particularly important in the BER pathway. When PARP function is inhibited, DNA single-strand breaks are converted into double-strand breaks, thereby inducing a "synthetic lethality" effect in tumor cells deficient in homologous recombination repair (HR). Olaparib, as the first approved PARP inhibitor, has been widely used in the treatment of BRCA1 / 2 mutation-related ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. However, as clinical application has deepened, olaparib has gradually revealed a series of limitations, including: (1) after long-term use, tumor cells develop drug resistance by restoring HR repair or upregulating drug efflux pumps; (2) the drug molecules are highly polar, and there is still room for further optimization in tissue distribution and pharmacokinetic behavior; (3) the single-target inhibition mode has limited therapeutic depth in the complex tumor microenvironment.
[0003] Quinoline and its carboxylic acid derivatives are a class of heterocyclic structural units with a broad research foundation in areas such as antitumor, antibacterial, and kinase inhibition. Previous studies have shown that the quinoline backbone can interact with DNA, topoisomerases, or various protein kinases, and can be introduced as a functional module to achieve multi-target regulation or synergistic pharmacological effects. However, whether quinoline or its quinoline carboxylic acid derivatives can enhance the antitumor activity of PARP inhibitors remains unknown.
[0004] Therefore, constructing a conjugate of a PARP inhibitor with quinoline or its quinoline carboxylic acid derivative in order to improve the antitumor activity and drug resistance of existing PARP inhibitors is a problem facing this field. Summary of the Invention

Experimental Methods The MTT assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory effects of representative compounds linked by different linkers in this invention on the proliferation of different breast cancer cell lines and normal breast cells MCF-10A.

Cells were seeded in 96-well plates at 4000 cells / well for HCC1806, MCF-7, MDA-MB-436, and 4T1, and 3000 cells / well for HCC1937 and MCF-10A. After 24 h of culture, the supernatant was removed, and the drug was prepared as a 10 μmol / mL DMSO stock solution, diluted with complete medium to different concentrations. Subsequently, the supernatant was removed, and complete medium containing different drug concentrations was added, and the cells were cultured for another 72 h. A blank control group and an olaparib positive control group were also included, with triplet wells for each concentration. After co-culture, the supernatant was removed, and 100 μL of MTT solution (5 mg / mL) was added. After incubation at 37°C for 2 h, the supernatant was removed, and 100 μL of DMSO solution was added and shaken thoroughly to dissolve the crystals. The absorbance value was measured at 490 nm using an ELISA reader, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the drug against tumor cells was fitted using GraphPad Prism.

[0110] Experiment Example 3: Cell Proliferation Assay I. Experimental Methods MCF-7 and 4T1 cells were seeded into 12-well plates, each well with a coverslip, and cultured for 48 hours with different concentrations of compound I-9. EdU staining was performed using BeyoClick™ EdU cell proliferation kit (containing Alexa Fluor 47, Shanghai, China). Cells were co-incubated with 10 μM EdU for 2 hours, then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde solution for 15 minutes and stained with Click staining solution. Finally, cells were stained with DAPI and observed under a confocal microscope.
[0111] II. Experimental Results The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure. Compared with the control group, after 48 hours of compound treatment, the proportion of EdU-positive cells in MCF-7 cells and 4T1 cells was significantly reduced, and the proportion decreased with increasing drug concentration. This indicates that the number of cells in the proliferative phase gradually decreased with increasing drug concentration, and that compound I-9 can inhibit cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner.
[0112] As can be seen from the above embodiments and experimental examples, this invention synthesizes a novel PARP inhibitor derivative. This derivative uses the clinical PARP inhibitor olaparib as the core pharmacophore and is constructed by covalent coupling with a quinoline carboxylic acid derivative. The derivative is the compound shown in formula (I) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or hydrate, and its structure includes: a first structural unit with olaparib as the core skeleton, a linker arm L, and a quinoline carboxylic acid fragment R; wherein the structural types and substituents of the linker arm L and the quinoline carboxylic acid fragment R are adjustable. This invention also provides a method for preparing the compound, which is simple in steps, highly versatile, and facilitates structural expansion, making it suitable for constructing compound libraries with different combinations of linkers and quinoline carboxylic acid fragments. The compound can be used to prepare drugs or drug compositions for inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and treating tumor-related diseases, showing excellent application prospects.
