Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry and antitumor drug technology, specifically relating to a thiocamptothecin derivative, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Camptothecin, a specific inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase I, is an important lead molecule in the development of antitumor drugs. However, it suffers from poor water solubility, easy ring-opening inactivation of the lactone ring, and high dose-limiting toxicity, which severely restricts its clinical application. Current technologies for structural modification of camptothecin mainly focus on side chain modification and oxygen-sulfur substitution. While these modification strategies have improved the instability of the camptothecin lactone ring and high dose-limiting toxicity to some extent, they have not fundamentally solved its water solubility problem. The tumor microenvironment is characterized by weak acidity, high glutathione, and high reactive oxygen species (ROS). Tumor cells are more sensitive to oxidative stress. Developing ROS-mediated therapy that utilizes these characteristics to respond to endogenous stimuli is an important direction for achieving highly effective and low-toxicity antitumor therapy. However, most existing camptothecin derivatives lack the ability to specifically respond to the tumor microenvironment and cannot fully utilize the redox characteristics of tumor tissue to achieve drug release and enhance tumor-suppressive effects. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned deficiencies of camptothecin in existing technologies, this invention provides a thiocamptothecin derivative, its preparation method, and its applications. Specifically, it provides a novel thiocamptothecin derivative, its preparation method, and its antitumor applications. This derivative exhibits controllable synthesis, structural stability, and highly efficient, low-toxicity antitumor activity. When combined with copper ions, it can achieve a stronger tumor-suppressing effect through chemokinetic therapy, demonstrating potential for drug development.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a thiocamptothecin derivative having the following general structural formula:
[0005] Wherein, R is selected from -H or -C(=O)-CH2-X-CH2-C(=O)-O-R1; X is selected from -S-, -O- or -CH2-; R1 is selected from C1-C6 alkyl or optionally benzyl substituted with one -CF3 or -CN.
[0006] Preferably, the thiocamptothecin derivative is one of the following compounds:
[0007] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned thiocamptothecin derivatives, comprising the following steps: (1) An alcohol compound R1-OH and an acid anhydride compound are esterified in dichloromethane in the presence of a catalyst to obtain intermediate A. Wherein, the acid anhydride compound is selected from glutaric anhydride or thioglycolic acid anhydride; R1 is selected from C1-C6 alkyl or optionally benzyl group substituted with one -CF3 or -CN group; X is selected from S or O. (2) Intermediate A is mixed with condensing agent and catalyst in dichloromethane to carry out an activation reaction to obtain an activated system; camptothecin is added to the activated system to carry out an esterification condensation reaction to obtain camptothecin derivative B. Wherein, R is selected from -H or -C(=O)-CH2-X-CH2-C(=O)-O-R1; X is selected from -S-, -O- or -CH2-; R1 is selected from C1-C6 alkyl or optionally benzyl substituted with one -CF3 or -CN; (3) Add an organic solvent to camptothecin derivative B or camptothecin, then add Lawson's reagent, and carry out a reflux reaction under nitrogen protection. Separate and purify to obtain the target thiocamptothecin derivative. or Wherein, R is selected from -H or -C(=O)-CH2-X-CH2-C(=O)-O-R1; X is selected from -S-, -O- or -CH2-; R1 is selected from C1-C6 alkyl or optionally benzyl substituted with one -CF3 or -CN; the organic solvent is xylene or dichloroethane.
[0008] Furthermore, the catalyst is 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP).
[0009] Furthermore, the condensation reagent is 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI·HCl).
[0010] Furthermore, in step (1), the molar ratio of the alcohol compound R1-OH to the acid anhydride compound is 1.5:1.
[0011] Furthermore, in step (2), the molar ratio of intermediate A to camptothecin is 3:1.
[0012] Furthermore, in step (3), when the organic solvent is xylene, the molar ratio of camptothecin derivative B to Lawson reagent is 1:8~16; when the organic solvent is dichloroethane, the molar ratio of camptothecin derivative B to Lawson reagent is 1:3.
[0013] Furthermore, in step (1), the esterification reaction is carried out at room temperature.
[0014] Furthermore, in step (2), the activation reaction condition is activation at room temperature for 30 min; the esterification condensation reaction condition is stirring at room temperature until the reaction is complete.
[0015] Furthermore, in step (3), the heating reflux reaction conditions are 1.5 to 3 h at 80 to 130 °C.
[0016] Furthermore, the purification method is one or both of column chromatography and preparative thin-layer chromatography.
[0017] Thirdly, the present invention provides a complex based on a thiocamptothecin derivative, wherein the complex is composed of the above-mentioned thiocamptothecin derivative and Cu. 2+ Coordination complexes formed through multidentate chelation coordination.
[0018] Fourthly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned complex based on thiocamptothecin derivatives: take the above-mentioned thiocamptothecin derivatives and divalent copper salts, and prepare equal volumes of solutions according to a molar ratio of 1:2; mix the two solutions in equal volumes, stir thoroughly at room temperature, let stand, and remove the solvent by natural drying to obtain the final product.
[0019] Fifthly, the present invention provides the use of the above-mentioned thiocamptothecin derivatives or the above-mentioned complexes based on thiocamptothecin derivatives in the preparation of antitumor drugs.
[0020] Furthermore, the tumor is one or both of lung cancer and colorectal cancer.
[0021] The thiocamptothecin derivatives provided by this invention exhibit inhibitory activity comparable to camptothecin against A549 and HCT116 tumor cells, with significantly reduced cytotoxicity to normal cells. They can catalyze the generation of hydroxyl radicals and efficiently consume GSH in a weakly acidic tumor microenvironment, and can be used to prepare low-toxicity, high-efficiency antitumor drugs, which are chemokinetic therapy (CDT) drugs. Furthermore, the complex formed by combining the thiocamptothecin derivatives with copper ions can further enhance the chemokinetic therapy effect.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. Existing camptothecin derivatives lack redox-sensitive structures and cannot specifically recognize the tumor microenvironment. This invention modifies the camptothecin nucleus by oxygen-sulfur substitution, enabling it to directionally catalyze the generation of hydroxyl radicals under weakly acidic conditions in tumors, while efficiently consuming the highly expressed GSH in tumor cells.
[0023] 2. The thiocamptothecin derivative provided by this invention has comparable inhibitory activity against the proliferation of A549 lung cancer and HCT116 colorectal cancer cells to that of natural camptothecin, but significantly reduced toxicity to normal cells. Traditional camptothecin and its modified products lack cell selectivity and are prone to causing damage to normal tissues, exhibiting dose-limiting toxicity.
[0024] 3. The thiocamptothecin derivative provided by this invention contains thiocarbonyl and hydroxyl coordination sites, enabling it to react with Cu. 2+ By achieving a stable complexation at a 1:2 molar ratio, the resulting coordination complex can further enhance the production of hydroxyl radicals, strengthen the oxidative killing effect, and integrate chemotherapy with chemokinetics, thus expanding the drug's application value. Furthermore, this thiocamptothecin derivative retains the chemotherapeutic activity of camptothecin in inhibiting DNA topoisomerase, while also possessing redox-responsive CDT function, making it suitable for the preparation of low-toxicity antitumor drugs for lung cancer and colorectal cancer.
