Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of small molecule drugs, specifically, the present invention provides small molecule compounds that can be used to treat diseases associated with the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway. [Background technology]
[0002] The immune system plays an important role in controlling and treating many diseases, including various cancers, diseases caused by viruses, etc. However, there are many ways in which cancer cells can evade or modulate the immune system through several pathways to proliferate rapidly. Here, one way is to modify the activating and inhibitory molecules expressed on immune cells. Blocking regulatory immune checkpoints such as PD-1 proves to be a very effective way to inhibit cancer cells.
[0003] PD-1 is programmed cell death protein-1, also known as CD279. It is mainly expressed on activated T cells and B cells, and its function is to regulate cell activation, which is a normal homeostatic mechanism of the immune system, and excessive T / B cell activation can cause autoimmune diseases, so PD-1 is the body's defense wall. PD-1 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein consisting of 268 amino acids, and its structure mainly includes the outer immunoglobulin variable region, the hydrophobic transmembrane region and the intracellular region. The intracellular region contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine regulatory motif and an immunoreceptor tyrosine switch motif, which also proves that PD-1 can inversely regulate signaling through the T cell receptor. PD-1 has two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, and their expression is different. PD-L1 is upregulated in various tumor cells, binds to PD-1 on T cells, regulates T cell proliferation and activation, puts T cells into an inactivated state, and ultimately induces immune evasion.
[0004] PD-1 / PD-L1 plays an inverse immunoregulatory role. After binding of PD-1 and PD-L1, it can cause tyrosine polyphosphorylation at the immunoreceptor tyrosine switch motif domain in T cells, and the phosphorylated tyrosine can bind to the phosphatases protein tyrosinase 2 and protein tyrosinase 1. This regulates T lymphocyte proliferation and associated cytokine secretion by blocking the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and further blocking the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and serine-threonine protein kinase (Akt). PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling inhibits T cell activation and proliferation while simultaneously inducing the secretion of cytokines interleukin-2, interferon-gamma, and IL-10. In addition, PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling also has a similar immune function on B cells, and after PD-1 binds to the B cell antigen receptor, the cytoplasmic region of PD-1 blocks B cell activation by interacting with the protein tyrosinase, which contains a tyrosinase 2-binding site.
[0005] PD-1 / PD-L1-based immunotherapy is a new generation of immunotherapy that has attracted much attention. In recent years, a series of surprising research results have confirmed that PD-1 / PD-L1 modulators have strong antitumor activity against various tumors. Currently available PD-1 / PD-L1 antibody inhibitors include Ninolumab from BMS, Lambrolizumab from Merck, and Atezolizumab from Roche. In addition, CuR e A number of PD-1 / PD-L1 antibody modulators are in development, including Tech's pidilizumab, GSK's AMP-224 and AstraZeneca's MEDI-4736.
[0006] Tumor immunotherapy is considered to be a new generation revolution in cancer treatment after targeted therapy. However, the currently marketed and researched PD-1 monoclonal antibodies have their own defects, including that they can only be administered by injection, cannot be taken orally, are minutely stable in the body, are easily degraded by proteases, are prone to immune cross-reaction, are difficult to purify, have high production costs, etc. Therefore, small molecule modulators of PD-1 / PD-L1 interaction are a better option for tumor immunotherapy or viral infection treatment. In summary, there is an urgent need in the art to develop novel small molecule modulators of the PD-1 / PD-L1 interaction. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
