Cyclic dinucleotide prodrug molecule, manufacturing process therefor and application thereof

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of medicines, in particular to a cyclic dinucleotide prodrug molecule, a preparation method of the cyclic dinucleotide prodrug molecule and application of the cyclic dinucleotide prodrug molecule.Background

[0002] Cyclic dinucleotides, a novel class of second messenger molecules found in bacteria and mammals. In mammalian cells, cyclic dinucleotides can bind to stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and stimulate an immune response. It can cause the expression of cell cytokines such as interferon-β and NF-κB, and promote the proliferation, differentiation and maturation of CD8 +< T cells.

[0003] Because cyclic dinucleotides have a powerful immune stimulatory effect, they can be used in the treatment of viral and bacterial infections as well as cancer. Especially, the combination with the traditional immunotherapy can show better anticancer effect. Aduro Inc. and Novartis'ADU-S100currently enters clinical phase II and MK-1454 from MSD has already entered clinical phase I.

[0004] The cyclic dinucleotide has two phosphodiester bonds in the molecular structure. The phosphodiester bond with negative charge causes poor lipid solubility of the drug, which prevents the cyclic dinucleotide from effectively crossing cell membranes. And the phosphodiester bond is easy to be hydrolyzed, thereby causing instability of the drug molecule in the circulatory system.

[0005] Currently, auxiliary materials are mainly adopted for cyclic dinucleotide drug delivery systems. For example, early literature reported that a cyclic dinucleotide synthetase using lentivirus or adenovirus is used to promote an immune response by enzymatically synthesizing the cyclic dinucleotide after entering a cell. But this method has a large risk and is not widely used.

[0006] Delivery of cyclic dinucleotide drugs by using liposomes or lipid nanoparticles, cell penetrating peptides, protein gels containing polycationic amino acids, etc. as carriers have been reported. But the use of such carriers may reduce drug loading efficiency, and the introduction of carriers may cause some potential cytotoxicity.

[0007] The current method for solving the problem of effective uptake of cyclic dinucleotide by cells clinically is intratumoral injection. Although the direct intratumoral injection is reported in the article that the cyclic dinucleotide can be uptaken by the cells, the uptake efficiency is low, so that a larger dose of administration is needed. The administration of the large dose can cause over-activation of the immune system, thereby causing systemic or local inflammatory response.

[0008] Therefore, there are still some problems how to solve the efficient uptake of cyclic dinucleotides by cells.

[0009] WQ2017093933A1 has disclosed a cyclic purine dinucleotide compound, compositions, combinations and drugs containing the compound, and methods for preparing them. The compound disclosed in the prior art can be applied to the treatment of diseases related to the regulation of STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes), such as inflammation, allergic and autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, AIDS, cancer, precancerous syndrome and as an immunogenic composition or vaccine adjuvant. However, the 2'-5' phosphodiester structure of the cyclic purine dinucleotide compound in the prior art has a large EC50 value, and its stability in vivo is poor, and its action time is short, so the therapeutic effect still needs to be improved.

[0010] WO2011005761A1 has disclosed a nucleic acid prodrug, a nucleic acid prodrug containing a chiral phosphorus moiety, and a method for preparing and using the nucleic acid prodrug and the nucleic acid prodrug containing a chiral phosphorus moiety. The compound disclosed in the prior art can have a good application prospect in treating chronic fatigue syndrome, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer and other diseases, but the synthetic method involved in the prior art needs activation, coupling, oxidation, esterification and the like, which is not only complicated in steps, but also low in reaction efficiency.Summary of the Invention

Compared with cddA35 without the exposed negative phosphate charge, the logP value of the cddA35 is -3.43, and the cddA35 is basically free of lipid solubility. And the logP of the compound 8 protected by thioacyl ethyl ester and the compound 16 protected by dimercapto ethanol is 1.93 and 0.85, respectively, so that the lipophilicity is greatly improved, and the compound is favorable for penetrating a cell membrane and entering cells to play an immune stimulator role.Test Example 2Activity assay of two cyclic dinucleotide prodrug molecules in HEK293T cells

[0111] The principle is as follows: dual-fluorescence reporter gene experiments: After entering a cell, the cyclic dinucleotide prodrug molecule passes through thioesterase in the cytoplasm of the cell or a reducing environment, so that thioester bond breakage or disulfide bond breakage is carried out, then an intermediate is obtained, a sulfur atom at a β position can nucleophilically attack a carbon atom at the α position, cyclic thioethane is removed, cyclic dinucleotides with a phosphodiester structure of a parent drug with negative charges are released, the intracellular STING protein is combined and activated, interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) is phosphorylated, phosphorylated IRF3 enters into the nucleus and combined with the promoter region of a interferon-β gene to cause the expression of interferon, and based on these, the interferon gene promoter is introduced into a promoter of firefly luciferase, so that the cell activity of the prodrug molecule can be measured by using a dual-fluorescence reporter gene method.Experimental materials:

[0112] (1) preparing the compound solution: the compound 8 and the compound 16 were dissolved in DMSO, respectively, to obtain a final concentration of 1mM. cddA35 was dissolved in water and similarly prepared at a concentration of 1mM. (2) Plasmid solution preparation: the pcDNA3.1-hSTING-wt plasmid was formulated to have a concentration of 400ng / µL, the pGL3-IFNβ plasmid was formulated to have a concentration of 400ng / µL, and the pGL4.74-Rluc plasmid was formulated to have a concentration of 100ng / µL.

[0113] The test method includes the following steps: HEK293T cells confluence reached about 70%, and the original culture medium is changed to 500mL of a serum-free culture medium opti-DMEM to be transferred. The above component solutions were prepared, which included pcDNA3.1-hsting-wt 2µL, pGL3-IFNβ 1µL, pGL4.74-Rluc 1µL, opti-DMEM medium supplemented 50µL / well, four wells in parallel. The above solution mixture was mixed by adding 50µL of 2 / 50 Lipo2000 transfection solution, the mixture was left to stand at room temperature for 15min and then mixed well, and 1OOµL / well of transfection was added and after 4h 1mL of DMEM medium at 37°C / well was added. After 18h, the medium was further changed to 500mL opti-DMEM with or without serum.8µL (5µM) of the compound 8, the compound 16 or cddA35 and 92µL of opti-DMEMmixed and left for 15min, transfected at 100µL / well. After 4h, 1mL of DMEM medium at 37°C / well was added. After 24h, the dual-fluorescence results were detected, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0114] From the results shown in FIG. 1, it can be seen that the unmodified highly electronegative cyclic dinucleotide cddA hardly crosses cell membranes, and the two cyclic dinucleotide compound 8 and compound 16 protected by phosphotriester provided by the present invention can autonomously cross cell membranes without any transfection reagent, and release the parent drug molecule cddA35 in cytoplasm due to thioesterase or reducing environment, so as to activate STING pathway and cause the expression of interferon.Test Example 3

[0116] The test method includes the following steps: The THP-1-Lucia cells confluency reached about 80%, and the compound 8, the compound 16 and the drug ADU-S100 are directly dissolved into a culture medium according to a certain concentration and added into a 24-well plate, wherein four wells are parallel. The cells were maintained under the culture condition of 37°C and 5% CO 2 for 24h. After the end of the culture, luciferase activity was measured. Wherein, the test results of the type I interferon of the compound 8, the compound 16 and the drug ADU-S100 in the monocyte cell line THP-1 under the action concentration of 10µM are shown in FIG. 2; EC 50 values for the compound 8 and the compound 16 to cause type I interferon expression in THP-1 cell lines were then determined by dose-response curves for serial dilutions at various concentrations, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0117] From the results shown in FIG. 2, it can be seen that both the compound 8 and the compound 16 cause strong expression of type I interferon in the monocyte THP-1 cell line at the action concentration of 10µM without any transfection reagent, and the activity is much higher than that of the drug ADU-S100, which has entered clinical phase II. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the EC 50 values of the compound 8 and the compound 16, which cause type I interferon expression in THP-1 cell line, were 4.4nM and 355nM, respectively. Compared to the EC 50 value of the control drug ADU-S100 (reference compound 2'3' -RR-(A)(A) in patent CN108430503A, the EC 50 value was 41.5µM), the EC 50 values of the compound 16 and the compound 8 were 9430-fold and 117-fold increased, respectively, and the activity was considerably increased.Test Example 4Anticancer Activity assay of the compound 8Experimental materials:

Negative control group: physiological saline solution Positive control group: ADU-S100 (clinical phase II drug) at a dose of 1mg / kg Experimental groups: the compound 8 at a dose of 1mg / kg

[0120] The administration method includes the following steps: the administration was started at the 10 th< day after tumor inoculation growth, and 50microliters / mouse was administered once every two days for a total of three times by intratumoral injection. The growth of tumors in mice was detected by chemiluminescence using the IVIS Spectrum Imaging System. Before imaging, small molecule fluorescein preparation: an appropriate amount of 15mg / mL sodium fluorescein salt was prepared in PBS solution, and sodium fluorescein was ordered from Shanghai Yeasen Biotech Co., Ltd. Oxygen and isoflurane are prepared in advance. Mice were placed in an anesthesia box by intraperitoneal injection of 100µL of fluorescein, and after the animals were anesthetized, the mice were transferred to an imaging chamber in an imager. The posture of the mice was adjusted as needed. The imaging parameters are as follows: automatic exposure, wherein the Binning value is 2, and the F value is 8. The imaging time was chosen to be 10min. After imaging, fluorescence values were converted to photon numbers and the total number of fluorescence photons for each experimental group was counted. The imager is an IVIS Spectrum imaging platform of Perkinelmer company. The results are shown in FIG. 4. In which the numbers in FIG. 4a, FIG.4b, FIG.4c, FIG.4d, FIG.4e and FIG.4f represent the total number of fluorescence photons in the circular region (ROI, region of interest), and FIG. 4g and FIG.4h are statistical graphs of the total number of fluorescence photons for each experimental group, respectively.

[0121] The tumor volume size and survival rate results for each group of mice are shown in FIG. 5. Wherein, the tumor volume is measured by a vernier caliper to obtain the length and width of the tumor, and the tumor volume is calculated according to a formula (volume= length×width×width / 2), and the survival rate= the value of mice with the tumor volume less than 2000 cubic millimeters in each experimental group / the total value of mice in each experimental group.

[0122] From the results shown in FIG. 4 and FIG.5, it can be seen that in the CT-26 mouse tumor model, the growth of the tumor in the mice were only controlled compared to the control drug ADU-S100 at the dose of 1mg / kg, and the tumor in the experimental group by using the compound 8 of the present invention was substantially disappeared, thereby indicating that the compound 8 has a better anti-tumor activity and an effect superior to that of the clinical drug ADU-S 100.
