Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular relates to the application of an eight-membered selenium-containing benzo[a]azine heterocyclic compound in the preparation of antitumor drugs. Background Technology

[0002] Selenium-containing organic compounds, due to their unique physicochemical properties, have broad research and application value in fields such as medicine, pesticides, and functional materials. Meanwhile, selenium, as one of the essential trace elements for the human body, participates in various redox-related physiological processes, playing an important role in antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-tumor activity, and immune regulation. Studies have shown that introducing selenium atoms into the backbone of organic molecules helps regulate the electronic structure and biocompatibility of molecules, enhancing their biological activity. Therefore, selenium-containing compounds have become one of the important directions in the research of novel drug lead structures.

[0003] Benzoazo heterocyclic compounds are an important class of pharmaceutical heterocyclic skeletons. The synergistic effect between the nitrogen atom and the benzene ring in their structure endows these compounds with excellent pharmacological activities, showing broad application prospects in antitumor, antibacterial and other fields. In the prior art, the structural modification of benzoazo heterocyclic compounds mainly focuses on five- or six-membered ring systems, usually through substituent modification or the introduction of other heteroatoms to improve their biological activity and drug-likeness.

[0004] However, the aforementioned structures still have certain limitations in terms of spatial configuration and molecular flexibility, making it difficult to meet the diverse requirements of complex biological targets for molecular three-dimensional structures. In contrast, eight-membered heterocycles, due to their larger ring strain adjustment space and higher conformational flexibility, show potential advantages in molecular recognition and target binding. However, due to factors such as complex synthetic routes and difficulty in controlling reaction conditions, there are few reports on eight-membered heterocyclic compounds in the current technology, especially compounds containing both selenium atoms and benzo[a]azine heterocyclic skeletons. The related structural types are relatively limited, and research on their biological activities and application prospects is still insufficient. Summary of the Invention

All cells were grown at 37°C and 5% CO2. When the cells reached 80% of the bottom area of ​​the culture dish, they were digested with trypsin and passaged. Cells in good logarithmic growth phase were selected for subsequent experiments.

[0030] MTT solution preparation: Weigh MTT powder using an analytical balance and prepare a 5 mg / mL MTT working solution with PBS buffer. Prepare fresh before use.

[0031] Compound 3c was dissolved in DMSO (final DMSO concentration <0.1%). It was then serially diluted to the required working concentration using culture medium before the experiment. Tumor cells in the logarithmic growth phase were used at a concentration of 5 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 3 Cells were seeded at a density of 1 / mL in 96-well plates and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours. After cell attachment, the original culture medium was discarded, and 100 μL of culture medium containing compound 3c was added to each well as the experimental group. The concentration gradients of the experimental groups were 0.78, 1.56, 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μM. Cisplatin was used as a positive control, and each well was divided into 6 replicates. After culturing for another 48 hours, 10 μL of MTT solution (5 mg / mL) was added to each well and incubated for 4 hours. The supernatant was discarded, and then 150 μL of DMSO was added to each well. The plates were shaken at room temperature for 10 minutes, and the absorbance of each well was measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader.

A small amount of the activated strain was then picked, dissolved in sterile water, and shaken well to prepare a concentration of 5 × 10⁻⁶ mg / mL. 5 CFU / mL bacterial suspension. In a 96-well plate, add 188 μL of the corresponding culture medium and 2 μL of the stock solution of the test compound to the first well. Perform a 2-fold serial dilution in the 96-well plate, and finally add 10 μL of the test bacterial suspension to each well, so that the final concentrations of the test compound added to the 96-well plate are 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1 μg / mL, respectively. Chloramphenicol was used as a positive control, 0.5% DMSO as a negative control, and empty culture medium as a blank control. Each experiment was repeated three times. After incubation at 37℃ for 3 days, observe the turbidity of the bacterial suspension in the 96-well plate. The minimum concentration at which the culture medium becomes clear is the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the compound.
