Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drug development technology, specifically to a divalent ligand molecule targeting EGFR and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] EGFR, as the core transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor of the ErbB / HER family, regulates key physiological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Exon 19 deletion (Del746-750) and exon 21 L858R point mutations are major oncogenic mutations, and EGFR is overexpressed in most solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, making it an important target for targeted cancer therapy. However, almost all patients receiving EGFR-TKIs treatment inevitably develop acquired resistance after long-term use, becoming a core bottleneck limiting the efficacy of targeted therapy. The main resistance mechanism is EGFR-dependent resistance, primarily due to EGFR gene mutations, including secondary point mutations such as T790M and C797S, and gene amplification, which weaken the drug's binding ability to the target or enhance EGFR signaling pathway activation. For different types of EGFR resistance, various treatment strategies exist to overcome EGFR resistance. Based on existing resistance mechanisms, potential treatment strategies include the development of fourth-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, combination therapies targeting multiple pathways, and protein-degrading agents. However, developing novel drug molecules to overcome EGFR resistance remains important. Meanwhile, chimeric molecules have become a hot topic in the development of new drugs against EGFR resistance due to their advantages such as overcoming undrugable targets and directly degrading target proteins.

[0003] Multivalent ligand drugs are a novel class of drugs containing multiple action fragments. Their core advantage lies in their ability to simultaneously interact with multiple domains or monomers of the target protein through different structural fragments within the molecule. This multivalent interaction generates binding forces far exceeding those of traditional monovalent drugs (affinity can be increased by several orders of magnitude) and may induce entirely new protein-protein interactions, thereby achieving richer biological effects. These novel interaction modes between multivalent ligand molecules and target proteins give them significant advantages over monovalent drugs in drug development targeting specific targets, achieving pharmacological effects that monovalent drugs cannot achieve in areas such as multifunctional drug regulation, target selectivity, target affinity, novel pharmacological effects, and overcoming drug resistance. For protein dimer / oligomery drug targets, the "multivalent ligand molecule within oligomer" strategy remains the mainstream approach, while the emerging "multivalent ligand molecule between oligomers" strategy exhibits more unique advantages: it is no longer limited to inhibiting the function of a single oligomer, but rather induces interactions between multiple oligomers to produce new polymerized forms, thereby achieving an effect transition from "inhibition" to "isolation" or "degradation".

[0004] In summary, in order to address the resistance problem of traditional EGFR inhibitors (including first-generation reversible inhibitors and second / third-generation irreversible inhibitors) and provide new treatment strategies for cancer patients carrying EGFR mutations, a new class of multivalent ligands targeting EGFR urgently needs to be developed.

[0052] Experimental Example 3: Western Blot Analysis of Proteins I. Experimental Methods This experimental example characterizes the effects of the divalent EGFR ligand molecule obtained in Example 17 on the phosphorylation levels of EGFR and its key downstream signaling pathway proteins in H1975 cells at different concentrations and treatment times. The specific steps include: (1) Cell culture and drug treatment: The HCC827 and NCI-H1975 cells used in this experiment were both obtained from the National Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (NCACC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Cells were proliferated or cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (BasaIMedia, Shanghai, China), supplemented with penicillin and streptomycin antibiotics (1 wt%, P1400, Solarbio) and fetal bovine serum (10 wt%, GeminiBio, West Sacramento, CA, USA), and cultured in a 5% CO2, 37°C cell culture incubator.

[0053] (2) Protein extraction and quantification: All cells used in this experiment were adherent cells. After the drug was applied for a specific time, the culture medium was discarded, and the cells were washed twice with PBS buffer to remove residual serum protein from affecting the assay. The cells were then digested with trypsin, collected, and washed twice more with PBS buffer. After centrifugation, residual liquid was removed as much as possible. An appropriate amount of RIPA lysis buffer was added, and the cells were lysed on ice for 30 min. The cells were then sonicated (5 s / time, 1 s interval, for a total of 5 times). After the cells were fully lysed, the cells were centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 15 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was collected, and the protein concentration was quantified using a BCA protein assay kit. The volume was adjusted to ensure that the protein concentration of the samples was the same. 5× protein loading buffer was added, and the cells were boiled at 100 °C for 10 min to denature the protein. The cells were then frozen and stored at -20 °C.

[0054] (3) Western blot analysis of proteins: Prepare the required concentration of SDS-PAGE gel, place the gel in the electrophoresis tank, and pour in the electrophoresis buffer. Add appropriate amounts of protein sample and pre-stained marker to the gel wells sequentially, and begin electrophoresis. Electrophoresis is first performed at 80 V for approximately 30 minutes until the sample enters the separating gel. Then, adjust the voltage to 120 V and electrophoresis for approximately 60 minutes to separate the sample. After electrophoresis, remove the gel and place it in the transfer buffer. Place a PVDF membrane of similar size to the separating gel in the transfer buffer, and also soak two appropriately sized filter papers in the transfer buffer. Arrange the gel, filter paper, and PVDF membrane in the following order: (black side) sponge → filter paper → gel → PVDF membrane → filter paper → sponge (white side) to form a transfer "sandwich." Remove any air bubbles between the layers and quickly insert the gel into the transfer clamp. Adjust the current to a suitable level (250 mA) and begin transfer. Set the transfer time according to the protein molecular weight. After transfer, the PVDF membrane was removed and placed in TBS / T buffer for 10 min, then transferred to blocking buffer (TBS / T solution containing 5 wt% skim milk powder) and blocked on a horizontal shaker at room temperature for 1.5 h. After blocking, the membrane was washed three times in TBS / T buffer for 5 min each time. Primary antibody was diluted to an appropriate concentration using primary antibody dilution buffer and incubated overnight at 4°C. After primary antibody incubation, the PVDF membrane was washed three times with TBS / T buffer for 5 min each time, followed by incubation with a suitable concentration of secondary antibody on a shaker at room temperature for 1 h. After incubation, the PVDF membrane was eluted three times with TBS / T buffer for 20-30 min each time, then rinsed in TBS / T buffer for 10 min each time. Finally, developing solution was evenly added to the PVDF membrane and exposed on an exposure unit. The resulting Western blot images were quantitatively analyzed using ImageJ software.

[0055] II. Analysis of Experimental Results The characterization results of the effects of the divalent EGFR ligand molecules obtained in Example 17 on the phosphorylation levels of EGFR and its key downstream signaling pathway proteins in H1975 cells at different concentrations and treatment times are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the figure. The results show that the bivalent ligand molecule of EGFR can downregulate the phosphorylation level of EGFR protein in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, further inhibiting the transduction of downstream signaling pathways, downregulating the phosphorylation levels of key target proteins of downstream signaling pathways, AKT and STAT5, thereby inhibiting the survival and proliferation of tumor cells, proving that it can overcome the problem of EGFR drug resistance.
