Abstract
Description
Protacs targeting bcl-xl protein and uses thereof TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to PROTACs targeting Bcl-xL protein and uses thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Members of the BCL-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) gene family play a central role in regulating programmed cell death by controlling pro- and anti-apoptotic intracellular signals (Czabotar, P.E., et al., Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 15, 49-63 (2014)). Anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family proteins such as BCL-2, BCL-XL, BCL-w, and Mcl-1 have been shown to be highly expressed in a variety of diseases, particularly BCL-xL protein is specifically highly expressed in a variety of senescent cells (He, et al., Nat Commun 11, 1996 (2020)). Currently, although the anti-aging effect of BCL-2 family inhibitors has been verified in a variety of preclinical models, it also has significant on-target hematotoxicity, including thrombocytopenia (Cang, et al., Journal of Hematology & Oncology 8, 129 (2015)). Therefore, it is necessary to develop more sophisticated and novel strategies to improve its efficacy and specificity for senescent cells and reduce toxicity.
[0003] The concept of PROTAC (Proteolysis targeting chimeras) was first proposed by Professor Craig Crews' team at Yale University in 2001. PROTAC molecules are composed of three parts: a target protein (POI) ligand, a linker, and an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand. PROTAC is a heterobifunctional chimeric molecule that targets POI on one end and recruits E3 ubiquitin ligase on the other end, forming a ternary complex in the shape of a dumbbell. PROTAC molecules mediate transient interactions between E3 ligase and POI, and E3 ubiquitin ligase attaches ubiquitin to POI, marking it as a defective or damaged protein, which is then recognized and degraded by the proteasome. The main advantages of PROTAC technology include event-driven (rather than the usual occupancy-driven) activity, targeting undruggable proteins, overcoming drug resistance, and low dosage, which is expected to improve many limitations of traditional inhibitors. Because the earliest use of peptides to verify human-induced intracellular protein degradation required a molecular weight that was too large, cell-penetrating peptides were needed to improve cell permeability. Therefore, PROTAC technology developed slowly from 2001 to 2011. With the continuous discovery of small molecule E3 ligase ligands, PROTAC technology has developed rapidly. For example, mouse double minute 2 protein (MDM2), cellular inhibitor of apoptosis (cIAP), von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL), and cereblon (CRBN) have been successfully used in small molecule PROTAC, and ARV-110 and ARV-471 based on CRBN have been used in clinical studies. However, due to the large molecular weight of PROTAC molecules, which do not meet the "drug-like five rules", leading to poor drugability, drug development based on this technology often has poor pharmacokinetic parameters in vivo, and there are challenges of low cell permeability and oral bioavailability, which require the screening of different E3 ligase ligands and careful optimization of the structure. At the same time, the overall degradation efficiency of PROTAC depends not only on the affinity of the target protein ligand and the type of E3 ligand, but also on the appropriate linker. A large amount of data shows that the length, composition, rigidity, and connection site of the linker are important for the formation of the PROTAC active ternary complex, degradation activity, and target selectivity. The design of the linker can further enhance potency by reducing free energy or limiting biologically active conformations. Optimizing the structure-activity relationship (SAR) within the linker will provide opportunities to adjust the pharmacokinetic properties of protein degraders. However, there is no universally applicable design strategy for the design and optimization of linkers, which often start with short and simple alkane or polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains, and then iteratively adjust their related properties.In summary, PROTAC is a powerful method to overcome the current obstacles in drug development, but further molecular design and optimization are needed in the future to gradually summarize the rules to improve the physicochemical properties and further explore the effectiveness and safety of PROTAC in the clinic. The target of PROTAC can be widely laid out, and the market is huge. With the continuous progress and improvement of this technology, PROTAC can become a successful therapy like small molecule inhibitors, mAbs and immunotherapy, so that more patients with diseases can benefit from it.
[0004] Senescence is a major risk factor for physiological deterioration, increased incidence of chronic diseases, and age-related mortality (Lopez-Otin et al., Cell 153, 1194-1217 (2013)). During senescence, senescent cells accumulate in multiple tissues and cause tissue dysfunction (van Deursen et al., Nature 509, 439-446 (2014); McHugh et al., J Cell Biol 217, 65-77 (2018)). Senescent cells also secrete a variety of pro-inflammatory factors, known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which leads to age-related physical decline (Coppe et al., PLoS Biol 6, 2853-2868 (2008); Coppe et al., Annu Rev Pathol 5, 99-118 (2010)). Elimination of senescent cells has emerged as an attractive potential approach to ameliorate age-related diseases and improve health (Xu et al., Nat Med 24, 1246-1256 (2018); Baker et al., Nature 479, 232-236 (2011); Baker et al., Nature 530, 184-189 (2016)). However, due to the complexity and heterogeneity of senescent cells, it remains challenging to specifically and effectively eliminate multiple types of senescent cells (Kirkland et al. J Am Geriatr Soc 65, 2297-2301 (2017); Lozano-Torres et al., Nature Reviews Chemistry 3, 426-441 (2019)). Existing studies have shown that the Bcl-2 anti-apoptotic pathway plays a key role in maintaining the survival of senescent cells (Zhu et al., Aging Cell 14, 644-658 (2015), Chang et al., Nat Med 22, 78-83 (2016)). Compounds that selectively kill senescent cells, known as “senolytics”, have attracted considerable interest. BCL-xL inhibitors can effectively kill senescent cells as senolytics (Zhu et al., Aging Cell 15, 428-435 (2016)). Bcl-xL inhibitors induce senescent cells to undergo apoptosis by relieving the anti-apoptotic mechanism that is critical for senescent cells to maintain survival, achieving the effect of eliminating senescent cells in vitro and in vivo, which shows great potential in the treatment of multiple senescence-related diseases such as osteoarthritis, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic nephropathy, etc.
[0005] The structural modification of BCL-xL protein inhibitors combined with E3 ligase ligands to form PROTAC can effectively combine the advantages of both. On the one hand, it can specifically induce apoptosis of senescent cells, and on the other hand, it can effectively reduce the hematological toxicity of BCL-xL protein inhibitors, while optimizing the overall molecular structure to meet the effectiveness and safety of clinical application, providing a new idea for the treatment of a series of senile and aging-related diseases.
