Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The invention relates to a pyrazoloquinazoline compound, its preparation method and uses. [Previous Technology]
[0002] PLKs (Polo-like kinases) belong to the serine / threonine kinase family. To date, five subtypes have been identified, namely PLK1-5. PLKs are mainly expressed in dividing cells and play a crucial role in cell cycle control and mitosis. Among the PLK family, PLK1 is the most studied and detailed, and its biological activity is best described. The scientific community generally believes that PLK1 is a key kinase guiding mitotic entry, centrosome maturation and separation, bipolar spindle formation, the transition from metaphase to anaphase, and the initiation of cytokinesis. Studies have found that PLK1 is not only highly expressed in various tumor tissues but is also activated by DNA damage and replication stress, which is consistent with the abnormally active proliferation of tumor cells. Knocking out the PLK1 gene using chemical small molecule inhibitors or biological methods can result in a large number of tumor cells arresting in the G2 / M phase, further leading to tumor cell apoptosis. Therefore, PLK1 is considered a promising anti-tumor target, especially given its high expression in various tumor tissues, which suggests potential for broad-spectrum anti-tumor activity. Furthermore, PLK1 expression levels are low in normal cells, suggesting that developing PLK1 inhibitors as anti-tumor drugs may have a favorable safety profile.
[0003] Compared to the high expression of PLK1 in tumor cells, PLK2 and PLK3 are expressed more abundantly in post-mitotic cells such as nerve cells. Therefore, developing PLK1-specific inhibitors may avoid the toxic side effects caused by simultaneous inhibition of PLK2 / 3. The PLK1 inhibitor Volasetib (BI-6727) developed by BI (Boehringer Ingelheim) produced severe toxic side effects in clinical trials due to its lack of selectivity for PLK2 / 3, limiting its efficacy and leading to its failure in phase III clinical trials. As a PLK1-specific inhibitor, the small molecule inhibitor Onvansertib developed by Cardiff Oncology has shown good anti-tumor activity and manageable toxic side effects in several proof-of-concept phase II clinical trials. However, Onvansertib still has many areas for improvement, such as poor membrane permeability resulting in low bioavailability. Moreover, its long half-life (t1 / 2 greater than 24 hours) necessitates intermittent administration during treatment cycles, which, in addition to causing significant toxic side effects, further limits its therapeutic efficacy.

[0214] Experimental Method:
[0215] Use the kinase buffer provided in the kit to dilute the enzyme, substrate, ATP, and inhibitor. Dilute the test compound to 1 mM with 100% DMSO as the first concentration, and then perform a 5-fold dilution to the 8th concentration using a multi-channel pipette, i.e., from 1 mM to 0.013 μM. Prepare working solutions containing 5% DMSO by 20-fold dilution of each concentration point of the compound using 1X kinase buffer. Add 1 μL of the working solution for each concentration gradient to a microplate and set up duplicate wells. Add 2 μl of PLK1 enzyme (15 ng), 2 μl of a mixture of substrate and ATP (20 μM ATP, 0.2 μg / μl Casein protein) to the microplate. At this point, the final concentration gradient of the compound is 10 μM diluted to 0.13 nM. Incubate the reaction system at 25°C for 60 minutes. After the reaction was complete, 5 μl of ADP-Glo reagent was added to each well, and the reaction was continued at 25 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes. After the reaction was completed, 10 μL of kinase detection reagent was added to each well, and the reaction was continued at 25 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. The chemiluminescence was then read using a PerkinElmer Nivo multilabel analyzer with an integration time of 0.5 seconds.
[0216] Data Analysis:
[0217] The original data is converted into inhibition rate by using the equation (Sample-Min) / (Max-Min)*100%. The IC50 value can then be obtained by curve fitting using four parameters (obtained in the log(inhibitor) vs. response -- Variable slope mode in GraphPad Prism).

[0219] In vitro cell proliferation analysis
[0220] The inhibitory activity of the compound on tumor cell proliferation was determined using the MTT assay. HT-29 tumor cells in the logarithmic growth phase were seeded into culture plates at a certain cell volume and cultured for 24 h. Different concentrations of inhibitor were added, and the cells were cultured for another 48 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2. 20 μL of MTT solution was added to each well and the cells were cultured for another 4 h. The cells were then dissolved and crystallized in DMSO, and the OD value was measured at 570 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) instrument to calculate the IC50.
