Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical formulations, in particular to pharmaceutical formulations of imidazolinone compounds, their preparation methods and their uses. [Background technology]
[0002] DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is an enzyme complex composed of the Ku70 / Ku80 heterodimer and the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs). This enzyme complex can only be activated to perform its corresponding functions involving DNA (George et al., 2019). As a serine / threonine protein kinase, DNA-PK is a member of the PIKK (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase) family. It not only plays an important role in intracellular DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair and intracellular DNA recombination, or antibody DNA rearrangement (V(D)J recombination), but is also involved in physiological processes such as chromosome remodeling, transcriptional regulation, and telomere maintenance.
[0003] The combined use of DNA-PK inhibitors with DNA-damaging antitumor therapies (e.g., IR and chemotherapy agents) may improve therapeutic efficacy. Although the use of DNA-PK inhibitors may inhibit the DNA repair function of normal cells to some extent, normal cells still have a variety of complementary DNA repair pathways; in addition, facing enormous DNA replication pressure and lacking effective DNA repair methods, tumor cells are therefore highly sensitive to DNA-PK inhibitors. Furthermore, inhibiting DNA-PK activity in tumor cells can enhance the killing effect of other antitumor therapies on tumor cells.
[0004] The patent (application number: PCT / CN2021 / 087912) describes a novel DNA-PK inhibitor having the structure represented by formula (A). This inhibitor has a good inhibitory effect on DNA-PK activity and may be useful for the preparation of antitumor drugs. There is a need to prepare a DNA-PK inhibitor-containing formulation with good drug dissolution rate and stability. [ka] Summary of the Invention
