Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicine, and specifically to camptothecin derivatives having a series of novel structures, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof.
Background Art
[0002] Camptothecin (CPT) is a natural product first extracted from the Chinese plant Camptotheca acuminata by American scientists Wall and Wani. It is a water-insoluble and cytotoxic quinoline alkaloid with broad antitumor activity. As its mechanism of action, it is thought to bind to topoisomerase Top1 and DNA to form a complex, inhibit the activity of Top1, block DNA replication and protein synthesis, and lead to apoptosis. Camptothecin has significant therapeutic effects on gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, cardiac cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, primary liver cancer, acute and chronic granulocytic leukemia, choriocarcinoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, etc. Despite its excellent antitumor activity, only two camptothecin compounds, irinotecan (useful for colorectal cancer and small cell lung cancer (SCLC)) and topotecan (useful for lung cancer and ovarian cancer), have been globally developed as antitumor agents so far. Another camptothecin derivative, beletecan, is only approved in Korea as a therapeutic agent for SCLC and ovarian cancer. Camptothecin is hindered from wider application in tumor treatment due to its cytotoxicity, poor solubility, and drug resistance.
[0003] Therefore, there is a need to develop camptothecin derivative-based drugs with low toxicity, water solubility, and drug resistance, which have broad application value.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0063] I. Definitions In the present invention, scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings generally understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise specified. Further, the related terms and experimental procedures used herein are terms widely used in their respective fields and normal steps. In addition, to better understand the present invention, the definitions and explanations of related terms are provided below.
[0064] As used herein and unless otherwise specified, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," and "containing" should generally be understood as open-ended and non-limiting, including their grammatically equivalent forms, and do not exclude other elements or steps not recited, for example.
[0065] The compounds according to the present invention may be asymmetric and may have, for example, one or more stereoisomers. Unless otherwise specified, all stereoisomers such as enantiomers and diastereomers are included. The stereoisomers include geometric isomers (e.g., cis and trans structures) and optical isomers (e.g., enantiomers), and are therapeutic agents consisting of single entities, racemates, racemic mixtures, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Compounds containing an asymmetric carbon atom according to the present invention can be isolated in optically pure form or in racemic form. The optically pure form can be isolated from a racemic mixture or synthesized using chiral starting materials or chiral reagents. Racemates, diastereomers, and enantiomers are included within the scope of the present invention.
[0066] The compounds of the present invention also include tautomeric forms. Tautomeric forms result from the exchange of a single bond with an adjacent double bond and involve the movement of one proton together.
[0067] The numerical ranges herein refer to individual integers within the specified range. For example, "C1~C6" means that the group may have 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms, 4 carbon atoms, 5 carbon atoms, or 6 carbon atoms, and "C3~C6" means that the group may have 3 carbon atoms, 4 carbon atoms, 5 carbon atoms, or 6 carbon atoms.
[0068] The term "substituted" means that any one or more hydrogen atoms on a particular atom or group are replaced by a substituent, provided that the valence of the particular atom or group is normal and the resulting compound is stable. Unless otherwise specified, the type and number of substituents are arbitrary as long as they are chemically feasible.
[0069] When any variable (e.g., Rn) appears one or more times within the composition or structure of a compound, its definition is independent in each case. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 1 to 5 Rs, the group may be optionally substituted with up to 5 Rs, and in each case the R has an independent choice. Further, combinations of substituents and / or their variants are permitted only if such combinations result in a stable compound.

Preferably, it contains 3 to 12 ring atoms, 1 to 4 of which are heteroatoms, more preferably, it contains 3 to 8 ring atoms, most preferably, it contains 3 to 8 ring atoms, and still more preferably, it is a 3- to 8-membered heterocyclyl containing 1 to 3 nitrogen atoms, optionally substituted with 1 to 2 oxygen atoms, sulfur atoms, or oxo groups, and includes nitrogen-containing monocyclic heterocyclyl groups, nitrogen-containing spiroheterocyclyl groups, or nitrogen-containing fused heterocyclyl groups.
[0072] The term "heterocycloalkyl group" refers to a saturated ring substituent containing a heteroatom on the ring skeleton, where one or more (preferably 1 to 4 or 1 to 3 or 1 to 2) of the ring atoms are heteroatoms selected from N, O, S.
[0073] The term "aryl group" means a 6- to 14-membered all-carbon monocyclic or fused polycyclic (i.e., rings sharing adjacent carbon atom pairs) group having a conjugated π electron system, preferably 6 to 12 members such as, for example, phenyl group and naphthyl group.
[0074] The aryl group may be substituted or unsubstituted. When substituted, the substituents are preferably, independently, one or more groups selected from alkyl group, alkenyl group, alkynyl group, alkoxy group, alkylthio group, alkylamino group, halogen, sulfhydryl group, hydrogen group, nitro group, cyano group, cycloalkyl group, heterocycloalkyl group, aryl group, heteroaryl group, cycloalkoxy group, heterocycloalkoxy group, cycloalkylthio group, heterocycloalkylthio group, carboxy group or carboxylic acid ester group.
[0075] The term "alkoxy group" refers to -O-(alkyl group) and -O-(unsubstituted cycloalkyl group), and the definition of the alkyl group is as described above. Non-limiting examples of alkoxy groups include methoxy group, ethoxy group, propoxy group, butoxy group, cyclopropoxy group, cyclobutoxy group, cyclopentyloxy group, cyclohexyloxy group. The alkoxy group may be optionally substituted or unsubstituted.

[0077] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the event or circumstance described thereafter may occur, but does not necessarily occur, and the description includes both the case where the event or situation occurs and the case where it does not occur. For example, "a heterocyclic group optionally substituted with an alkyl group" means that the alkyl group may or may not be present, and the description includes the case where the heterocyclic group is substituted with an alkyl group and the case where the heterocyclic group is not substituted with an alkyl group.
[0078] "Substituted" means that one or more hydrogen atoms in the group, preferably up to 5, more preferably 1 to 3 hydrogen atoms, are each independently substituted with the corresponding number of substituents. The substituents are present only at chemically possible positions, and it is obvious that those skilled in the art can determine (by experiment or theory) possible substitutions or impossible substitutions without undue effort. For example, an amino group or a hydroxy group having a free hydrogen may become unstable when bonded to a carbon atom having an unsaturated (e.g., alkene-like) bond.

[0088] The term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" means an amount of a drug or agent that is non-toxic but sufficient to achieve the desired effect. In embodiments of the present invention, when treating a patient in accordance with the present invention, the amount of a given drug to be administered depends on many factors such as the specific administration protocol, the type and severity of the disease or medical condition, and the specificity of the subject or host in need of treatment (e.g., body weight). However, the dosage can be routinely determined by methods known in the art depending on, for example, the specific drug employed, the route of administration, the medical condition being treated, and the particular circumstances surrounding the subject or host being treated. Generally, when used for the treatment of adults, the dosage typically ranges from 0.02 to 5000 mg / day, for example, about 1 to 1500 mg / day. This required dosage can be conveniently expressed as a single dose or as divided doses administered simultaneously (or over a short period) or at appropriate intervals, for example, 2, 3, 4 or more divided doses per day. Although the above dosage ranges are indicated, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the specific effective amount can be appropriately adjusted according to the condition of the patient and in conjunction with the diagnosis of the physician.

Tumor cells in the exponential growth phase were diluted with the medium to 1×10 5 cells / mL, and 100 μL per well was added to a 96-well cell culture plate, and then returned to an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for overnight culture. The next day, the test compound and the control compound were diluted with the medium to 10,000 nM, 2,000 nM, 400 nM, 80 nM, 16 nM, 3.2 nM, 0.64 nM, and 0.13 nM, respectively. After dilution, 2 μL of the diluted compound was added to each well of the 96-well cell culture plate, and three replicate wells were set up for each concentration. For the negative control group and the blank control group without the added compound, 2 μL of the diluent was added per well. After the addition was completed, it was returned to an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 and continuously incubated for 72 hours. After the incubation was completed, the cell culture plate was taken out, and the medium in the plate was aspirated and removed with a pipette. Then, 100 μL of the medium containing 10% CCK-8 was added to each well and incubated at 37°C for 3 hours. After the incubation was completed, the culture plate was taken out, shielded from light, placed on an ELISA plate, and the absorbance was measured with 630 nm as the reference wavelength and 450 nm as the measurement wavelength. The IC 50 value was calculated from the absorbance value using the four-parameter regression method of GraphPad (Tables 1 - 3). SN38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin) and 10CPT (10-hydroxycamptothecin) were used as the control compounds. For the IC 50 value, "++++" indicates that the IC 50 <50 nM, "+++" indicates that the IC 50 is 10 - 100 nM, "++" indicates that the IC 50 is 100 - 500 nM, and "+" indicates that the IC 50 >500 nM.
