Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a triazole derivative and its preparation method and use. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, malignant tumors remain one of the main diseases threatening human life. Although cancer treatment has made great strides, cancer has not been fundamentally cured. Although currently available anticancer drugs have a certain degree of efficacy, most of them are cytotoxic drugs and have severe toxicity and side effects. Therefore, it is an urgent task for medical professionals to research new targeting anticancer drugs from the perspective of effective tumor targeting.

[0003] Many cells, mainly from human solid tumors and hematological malignancies, show various abnormal subcellular localizations of oncogenic proteins, tumor suppressor proteins, and cell cycle regulators. For example, certain p53 mutations lead to cytoplasmic matrix localization instead of nuclear localization. This leads to loss of normal growth regulation despite full tumor suppressor function. In other tumors, wild-type p53 is sequestered in the cytoplasm or rapidly degraded, further leading to loss of its suppressor function. Proper restoration of nuclear localization of functional p53 protein normalizes several properties of neoplastic cells, restores sensitivity of cancer cells to DNA damaging agents, and leads to regression of proliferating tumors. Similar data have been obtained from other tumor suppressor proteins, such as forkhead (Sullivar) and c-Abl. Also, the abnormal localization of some tumor suppressor and growth regulator proteins may be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. CRM1 inhibition offers particularly valuable applications in familial cancer syndromes in which a specific tumor suppressor protein (TSP) is ablated or dysfunctional (e.g., Li-Fraumeni syndrome due to deletion of one p53 allele, BRCA1 or BRCA2 cancer syndromes), and the increase in TSP levels achieved by systemic (or local) administration of CRM1 inhibitors leads to restoration of normal tumor suppressor function.

[0004] Specific proteins and RNAs are transported into or out of the nucleus by specific translocators. Those that transport molecules into the nucleus are classified as importins, whereas those that transport molecules out of the nucleus are classified as exportins. Proteins that are transported into or out of the nucleus contain a nuclear localization signal (NLS) or nuclear export signal (NES). These interact with associated export factors. Chromosome maintenance region 1 (CRM1), also called exportin-1 or Xpol, is the main exportin. Blockade of inhibitory proteins and growth regulators by CRM1 inhibitors, such as p53, c-Ab1, p21, p27, pRB, BRCA1, IkB, ICp27, E2F4, KLF5, YAP1, ZAP, KIF5, HDAC4, HDAC5, or nuclear export of forkhead proteins (e.g. FOXO3a). These are involved in gene expression, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and epigenetics. Results show that CRM1 inhibitors can induce apoptosis in cancer cells without affecting normal (non-transformed) cells, even in the presence of activation or growth activation signals. Most of the research on CRM1 function has been carried out with the natural product leptomycin B (LMB). Leptomycin itself is highly toxic to tumor cells, but its strong gastrointestinal toxicity makes it difficult to apply in clinical practice. By deriving LMB to improve drug-likeness, compounds that retain antitumor activity and are tolerated in animal tumor models are obtained. Thus, nuclear export inhibitors have beneficial effects on neoplastic and other proliferative disorders. However, currently, small molecule drug-like CRM1 inhibitors used in vitro and in vivo still have certain deficiencies.

[0005] Besides tumor suppressor proteins, several key proteins involved in various inflammatory processes are also exported by CRM1. These proteins include IkB, NF-kB, Cox-2, RXRa, Commal, HIFI, HMGBI, FOXO, FOXP, etc. The nuclear factor xB (NF-kB / rel) family of transcription activators, named for their ability to induce immunoglobulin x gene expression, can regulate the mRNA expression of various genes involved in inflammation, proliferation, immunity, and cell survival. In basic situations, the NF-kB protein inhibitor, called IkB, binds to NF-kB in the nucleus, and the IKB-NF-kB complex inactivates the transcriptional function of NF-kB. In response to inflammatory stimuli, IkB dissociates from the IkBNF-kB complex, releasing NF-kB and restoring its potential transcriptional activity. Many of the signals that activate NF-kB achieve this by targeting IkB protein hydrolysis (they are "tagged" by phosphorylation of IkB, ubiquitinate it, and then hydrolyze the protein). NF-kB is reactivated by export of the nuclear IkBa-MF-kB complex to the cytoplasm by CRM1, where it dissociates. Ubiquitinated IkB dissociates from the NF-kB complex, restoring NF-kB transcriptional activity. Inhibition of CRM1-induced export by IMB in human neutrophil and macrophage-like cells (U937) not only led to the accumulation of transcriptionally inactive nuclear IkBa-NF-kB complexes, but also prevented early NF-kB activation, even in the presence of cell stimulation. In a different study, LMB treatment suppressed IL-1β-induced NF-KB DNA binding (the first step in NF-kB transcriptional activation), 1L-8 expression, and intercellular adhesion molecule expression in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells. COMMD1 is another nuclear repressor of the transcriptional activity of both NF-kB and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1). Inhibition of CRM1 blocks the nuclear export of COMMD1, leading to increased inhibition of the transcriptional activity of NF-kB and HIF1.

[0006] CRM1 further mediates the transport of retinoid X receptor a (RXRa). RXRa is highly expressed in the liver and plays an important role in regulating bile acid, cholesterol, fatty acid, steroid and xenobiotic metabolism as well as stabilizing the internal environment. During hepatitis, nuclear RXRa levels are significantly decreased, mainly due to inflammation-mediated CRM1 nuclear export of RXRa. In human liver-derived cells, L-1B-induced increase in cytoplasmic RXRa levels can be inhibited by LepB.

[0007] According to the role of CRM1-mediated nuclear export in NF-kB, HIF-1 and RXRa signaling, blockade of nuclear export has potential advantages in many inflammatory processes involving multiple tissues and organs, including the vascular system (vasculitis, arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, atherosclerosis), dermatology and rheumatology (rheumatoid arthritis and related arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthritis, crystalline arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, mixed connective tissue disease, myositis syndrome, dermatomyositis, inclusion body myositis, undifferentiated connective tissue disease, sicca syndrome, scleroderma and overlap syndrome, etc.).

[0008] Suppression of CRM1 affects gene expression by suppressing the activation of a series of transcription factors, including ICp27, E2F4, KL5, YAP1, and ZAP.

[0009] Inhibition of CRM1 has potential therapeutic effects on many dermatological syndromes, including inflammatory skin diseases (atopic, allergic dermatitis, chemical dermatitis, psoriasis), sunburn (ultraviolet (UV) damage), and infection. CRM1 inhibition, the most studied by LMB, shows minimal effects on normal keratinocytes and anti-inflammatory activity on keratinocytes exposed to UV, TNFα, or other inflammatory stimuli. Inhibition of CRM1 can further upregulate the activity of NRF2 (nuclear factor 2-related factor 2), which can protect keratinocytes from oxidative damage. Apoptosis of keratinocytes infected with oncogenic human papillomavirus (PV) strains such as IPV16, but not uninfected keratinocytes, is induced by LMB.

[0010] CRM1 mediates the trafficking of important neuroprotective proteins, which may have potential benefits against neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. For example, CRM1 inhibition can reduce or prevent the neuronal death found in these disorders by (1) forcing nuclear retention of important neuroprotective regulators, such as NRF2, and / or (2) isolating 1XB in the nucleus of glial cells, thereby suppressing the transcriptional activity of NF-kB. Evidence also suggests that abnormal proliferation of glial cells is associated with abnormalities in CRM1 levels or function.

[0011] Full maturation of many viruses requires complete nuclear export, which is primarily mediated by CRM1. Viruses that involve nuclear export in their life cycle and / or that themselves contain CRM1 include human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), adenovirus, simian retrovirus type 1, Borna disease virus, influenza virus (normal, HINL and avian HN1 strains), hepatitis B virus (BV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), human papillomavirus (HPV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Dungee, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, yellow fever virus, West Nile virus, herpes simplex virus (SV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV).

[0012] The HIV-1 Rev protein, which transits the nucleolus and shuttles between the cell nucleus and the cytoplasm, exports unspliced ​​and single-spliced ​​HIV transcripts that contain the Rev response element (RRE) RNA via the CRM1 nuclear export pathway. Inhibition of Rev-mediated RNA export, achieved by CRM1 inhibitors such as LepB or PKF050-638, blocks the HIV-1 transcription process, suppresses the production of new HIV-1 viral particles, and reduces the levels of HIV-1.

[0013] Dengue virus (DENV) is the causative agent of the common arthropod-borne viral disease dengue fever (DF) and the more severe, potentially fatal dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). DHF appears to be the result of an exaggerated inflammatory response to DENV, and NS5 is the largest and most conserved protein of DENV. CRM1 regulates the transport of NS5 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it is mediated through most of its functions. Inhibition of CRM1-mediated NS5 nuclear export leads to altered viral dynamics and reduces induction of the inflammatory chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8), providing a new route to treat DENV and other medically important flaviviruses, including hepatitis C virus-induced disease.

[0014] Other virally encoded RNA-binding proteins exported to the nucleus by CRM1 include the HSVI type intermediate layer protein (P13 / 14 or HUA7), human CMV protein pp65, the SARS coronavirus ORF3b protein, and the RSV matrix (M) protein.

[0015] Interestingly, many of these diseases are related to certain types of human cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) caused by chronic HBV or HCV infection, cervical cancer caused by HPV, and Merkel cell carcinoma associated with MCV. Therefore, CRM1 inhibitors have an advantage over the viral infection process and the neoplastic transformation process caused by these viruses.

[0016] CRM1 regulates the nuclear localization and activity of various DNA metabolic enzymes, including histone deacetylases (HDACs), histone acetyl transferases (HATs), and histone methyltransferases (HMTs).

[0017] CRM1 has also been implicated in other disorders: Lebers disorder, a genetic disorder characterized by degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and vision loss, is linked to an inactivated CRM1 switch, and evidence suggests that neurodegenerative disorders involve abnormal nuclear transport.
