Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biopharmaceutical technology, and specifically relates to substituted pyrimidine hydrazide compounds and their preparation and use. [Background technology]
[0002] The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a member of the bHLH-PAS (bHLH-PER-ARNT-SIM) subfamily of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) superfamily and is a unique ligand-activated receptor in the bHLH-PAS family [Murray et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer, 2014, 14(12), 801-814; Berstene et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer, 2013, 13(12), 827-841]. The cytoplasmic AHR is stimulated by aromatic hydrocarbon xenobiotics, such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), and can translocate to the nucleus to form a heterodimer with the arylhydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT). The AHR / ARNT complex then interacts with xenobiotic response elements (XREs) upstream of AHR-regulated genes, thereby regulating the transcription of the corresponding genes. The AHR can also activate non-XRE-dependent protein-protein interaction pathways.
[0003] The AHR pathway is one of the best-known mechanisms for binding and directing the metabolism of environmental toxins, including regulated cytochrome CYP450 enzymes (e.g., CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP1B1), which can metabolize environmental toxins [(Reyes et al., Science, 1992, 256(5060), 1193-1195; Murray et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer, 2014, 14(12), 801-814)]. Activation of the AHR by environmental toxins has already demonstrated its role in many cellular processes, such as embryonic development, tumorigenesis, and inflammation. The AHR is also expressed in many cells of the immune system, including dendritic cells, macrophages, T-cells, and NK cells, and plays an important role in immunoregulation (Nguyen et al., 2014). (e.g., Front. Immunol., 2014, 5, 511). Classic exogenous AHR ligands such as TCDD induce profound immune inhibition, promote cancer development, and induce tumor growth [Gramatzki et al., Oncogene, 2009, 28(28), 2593-2605; Buiet al., Oncogene, 2009, 28(41), 3642-3651; Esser et al., Trends. Immunol., 2009, 30(9), 447-454].
[0004] Through XRE-dependent and -independent activities, the AHR regulates many important innate and adaptive immune responses. Studies have shown that some AHR agonists can promote the differentiation of Th17 (T-helper cells) and the secretion of IL-17. On the other hand, some AHR agonists can induce the lateral differentiation of Th17 cells into Treg cells and reinforce the inhibitory activity of Tregs [Quintana et al., Nature, 2008, 453(7191), 65-71; Mezrich et al., J. Immunol., 2010, 185(6), 3190-3198;]. Studies have demonstrated that AHR activation can result in the inhibition of macrophage-mediated innate inflammatory responses (e.g., reduced expression of IL-1b, IL-6, IL-12, and TNFalpha induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)) and the inhibition of dendritic cells (reduced activation of dendritic cells and enhanced expression of IL-10) [Kimura et al., J. Exp. Med., 2009, 206(9), 2027-2035; Wang et al., Clin. Exp. Immunol., 2014, 177(2), 521-530; Wei et al., Lab. Invest., 2014, 94(5), 528-535; Nguyen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 2010, 107(46), 19961-19966].
[0005] To establish an effective antitumor immune response, antigen-presenting cells (APCs) must process and present tumor antigens, subsequently activating helper CD4+ T-cells (Th) and cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells (Tc), which act cooperatively to effectively kill tumor cells. Tumor cells have evolved multiple mechanisms to evade immune cytolysis regulated by Th and Tc. One such mechanism is the release of high concentrations of kynurenine and other potential AHR ligands into the tumor microenvironment (TME).
[0006] High concentrations of AHR ligands in the tumor microenvironment (TME) can directly inhibit APCs, Th, and Tc, and further inhibit Tc and Th activity by enhancing the recruitment, generation, and activation of Tregs. Tumors can evade antitumor immune responses through these mechanisms [Opitz et al., Nature, 2011, 478(7368), 197-203]. Therefore, AHR inhibitors can restore antitumor immunity by blocking the AHR-dependent immune escape pathway employed by malignant tumor cells.
[0007] Recent research into tumor immunobiology has revealed that malignant tumor cells employ various immune evasion mechanisms to evade the immune system. Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that blocking or attenuating these mechanisms through therapeutic combinations (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors and vaccines) can optimally restore anti-tumor immune responses. Research data suggests that the use of AHR modulators alone can restore anti-tumor immunity. Due to the unique characteristics of the AHR signaling pathway, AHR inhibitors can be used in conjunction with other tumor immunotherapies, potentially enhancing immunotherapy responses through synergy with other treatment modalities. Clinically, the response rates of individual immune checkpoint inhibitors remain relatively low. Therefore, the development of new anti-tumor immune regulatory targets is of great significance for tumor treatment. AHR is a potentially promising target, and the development of relevant inhibitors offers new avenues for novel anti-tumor therapies. Summary of the Invention

[0147] Efficacy Example 1: Antagonistic effect test of research compounds and AHR in human-derived cell lines The test was performed using the human liver cancer HepG2 cell line, which endogenously expresses the AHR protein (provided by the Stem Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences). CYP1A1 gene expression is regulated by AHR activity, and after AHR activation, it binds to a sequence called the xenobiotic response element (XRE) on the CYP1A1 enhancer, triggering CYP1A1 gene expression. To quantitatively measure the effects of compounds on AHR activity, a regulatory sequence 1200 bp (-1143 to +57) upstream of the CYP1A1 gene promoter was synthesized and inserted into a plasmid vector containing firefly luciferase. The plasmid was then linearized by single enzyme digestion and transfected into HepG2 cells using Lipofectamine 3000. Transfected HepG2 cells were screened with puromycin to obtain stable cell lines. To measure the antagonistic effects of compounds on AHR, firefly luciferase expression was induced using AHR agonists (e.g., L-kynurenine, kynurenic acid, indirubin, TCDD, ITE (2-(1H-Indol-3-ylcarbonyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid methyl ester)), and the cells were treated with different concentrations of the compounds to measure the inhibition of luciferase expression by the compounds.
[0148] Stably transfected HepG2 cells were subcultured in Eagle's minimum essential medium (MEM) at 37°C under 5% carbon dioxide. MEM medium was supplemented with 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 2 mM GlutaMax, 1× non-essential amino acids, 10% Australian fetal bovine serum, 100 U / mL penicillin, and 5 μg / mL puromycin. Before testing, HepG2 cells were subcultured to 5–8 × 10 4Cells were seeded at a density of 1000 / well into 96-well plates and grown for 24–48 h to reach ~90% confluency before drug treatment (the medium did not contain puromycin). Before drug treatment, 2x compound solutions containing different concentrations of AHR agonists were prepared in the same medium, and half of the cell culture medium in the 96-well plate was replaced with the 2x compound solution. The negative control group contained the AHR agonist solution containing only DMSO at the corresponding concentration, and the positive control group contained CH223191 (commercially available) at the corresponding concentration. Each compound (including the positive and negative controls) was tested in two independent replicates. HepG2 cells were lysed using a Promega Steady-Glo Luciferase Detection System 24 h after compound treatment, and luciferase signals were measured using a Tecan Infinite M1000 Pro microplate reader.
[0149] In data processing, each compound was tested in duplicate in each group. The well signal at compound concentration 0 was set to 100%, and the cell signal of untreated agonist was set to 0. The percentage of AHR activity inhibition at different compound concentrations was calculated in turn, and the average values of the repeated data of the two groups were subjected to nonlinear fitting.

Therefore, the compound of formula I of the present invention can be used to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and inhibit the metastasis and invasion of tumor cells.
