Abstract
Description
[Corrected 30.12.2024 according to Rule 26] Kinase inhibitors, compositions and applications based on tumor microenvironment activation Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biopharmaceutical synthesis technology, and in particular to a kinase inhibitor based on tumor microenvironment activation, a composition and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Kinases play a crucial role in regulating a wide range of cellular processes, paving the way for the development of kinase inhibitors as therapeutic agents for a wide range of conditions, including cancer. Cancer treatment is challenging because it is difficult to kill cancer cells while minimizing or eliminating normal cells. Killing or otherwise adversely affecting normal cells during cancer treatment can cause adverse side effects in patients. Therefore, improving drug targeting, minimizing drug toxicity, and avoiding effects on normal cells are key challenges in cancer drug development.
[0003] Protein kinase inhibitors are enzyme inhibitors that block the action of protein kinases. Protein kinases add a phosphate group to proteins in a process called phosphorylation, which can turn the protein on or off, affecting its activity and functional level. Protein kinase inhibitors are able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and are used to treat brain metastases and / or leptomeningeal disease; chemotherapy drugs rarely cross the BBB, and the long-term side effects of radiation therapy can be devastating.
[0004] Furthermore, water solubility is a crucial physicochemical property of small organic molecule drugs and a key issue in their development. Good water solubility contributes to enhanced efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties. In medicinal chemistry, improving drug water solubility through chemical structure modification is a fundamental approach to addressing the fundamental nature of solubility.

[0129] Sample solution, legumain, and assay buffer were added to a sample tube at a volume ratio of 1:1:2 (30 μL of sample solution, 30 μL of legumain and 60 μL of assay buffer) and mixed thoroughly. The remaining sample was analyzed by HPLC at various time points (0 h, 5 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, and 20 h) and compared to the digestion products. A 10 μL injection volume was used.
[0130] 2.1 Enzyme digestion results
[0131] As shown in Figure 1, the enzymatic cleavage chromatogram of sample compound S1 by Legumain is shown. The results show that at 1 hour, compound S1 has been completely cleaved by Legumain enzyme to obtain compound D1. The subsequent HPLC charts at 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 20 hours are the same as the result of 1 hour in Figure 1, and are not repeated here. Using the same method, the above enzymatic cleavage test was also performed on the compounds provided by the present invention. The results show that the other 22 compounds provided in Table 1 can be completely cleaved by Legumain under the above conditions within 1 hour, completely releasing the corresponding small molecule drugs. This indicates that the 23 compounds with similar structures to the 23 compounds provided by the present invention can be cleaved by Legumain in vivo and release the corresponding small molecule drugs, thereby targeting tumor cells for treatment.
[0132] The results of this enzymatic digestion experiment showed that the enzymatic digestion efficiency of compounds S1-S23 in Table 1 of the present invention reached 100% within 1 hour. This efficiency was significantly higher than that of compounds disclosed in the prior art (such as compound S1 disclosed in Chinese invention patent CN104262455B, which serves as the control compound S0 of the present invention and has a structure shown below). The enzymatic digestion efficiency of this compound was 80% within 2 hours, which is lower than that of compounds S1-S23 of the present invention.

[0134] Example 6: Solubility experiment of compound:
[0135] 5.0 mg of each of the 23 compounds in Table 1 were accurately weighed and dissolved in 0.25 mL of sterile water for injection until the compound was completely dissolved into a clear solution. After standing at room temperature for 8 hours, there was still no change. The solubility of the 23 compounds was calculated and shown in Table 2 below.
[0136] Table 2: Solubility of Compound 1-Compound 23
[0137] Example 7: Compound Stability Test
[0138] As shown in the compound in Table 1, 23 groups of 2.0 mg of compound were accurately weighed, and 0.1 mol / L citric acid buffer (pH was 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.4) was added to dissolve it in 0.5 mmol / L clarified solution. The chemical stability of the sample at different pH values was detected at 0 h, 4 h, and 8 h. After the sample was placed for 30 min under different pH conditions, HPLC and LCMS were used to detect the chemical stability. It was found that the sample was substantially unchanged when the sample was placed under neutral or weakly acidic conditions for 8 h, and when the pH was 7.4 and the sample was placed for 8 h, a small amount of impurities appeared in the sample, which was detected to be a ring-opening product of maleimide. The above stability test results indicate that the compound samples provided by the present invention with structures similar to 23 compounds in Table 1 are very stable under neutral or weakly acidic conditions.

[0142] 3) Add 2.5 μL of kinase solution (2 times the final concentration) to the compound wells and positive control wells respectively; add 2.5 μL of 1× Kinase buffer to the negative control wells.
[0143] 4) Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 30 seconds, shake to mix, and incubate at room temperature for 60 minutes.

[0152] 3. Experimental Results
[0153] The test results obtained through the above test process are shown in Table 3 below:
[0154] Table 3: IC values of kinase inhibitory activity of compound D1, fretinib, and staurosporine detected by ADP-Glo method 50 The analysis results
[0155] As shown in Table 3, the inhibitory activity of fractinib against AXL is within 1 nM, and the inhibitory activity of staurosporine against FLT3 is within 1 nM, which is consistent with the reported selectivity of fractinib and staurosporine for kinases. Compound D1 is significantly more active than fractinib against the kinases Met and VEGFR, with particularly high activity against the kinase AXL, significantly doubling the activity of compound D1 compared to fractinib.
[0156] Example 9: Cytotoxicity study of fretinib, compound D1 and compound S1 on B16F10 cells
[0157] 1. Experimental steps
[0158] 1) Collect logarithmic phase B16F10 cells (B16F10 mouse skin melanoma cells), adjust the cell suspension concentration, add 100 μL to each well, and adjust the density of the cells to be tested to 5000 cells / well when plating (fill the edge wells with sterile PBS).
[0159] 2) Incubate at 37°C with 5% CO2 until the cell monolayer fills the bottom of the wells (96-well flat-bottom plate). Add the drug in a concentration gradient. The final drug concentration ranges from 0 to 100 μM, with a total of 7 concentration points. Dilute the drug serially, adding 100 μL per well, with triplicate wells.
[0160] 3) Incubate at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 48 hours and observe under an inverted microscope.
[0161] 4) Add 20 μL MTT solution (5 mg / ml, i.e., 0.5% MTT) to each well and continue incubation for 4 hours. If the drug reacts with MTT, centrifuge and discard the culture medium. Carefully rinse with PBS 2-3 times before adding the MTT-containing culture medium.
[0162] 5) Terminate the culture and carefully remove the culture medium from the wells.
[0163] 6) Add 150 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide to each well and shake at low speed for 10 minutes to fully dissolve the crystals. Measure the absorbance of each well at OD490 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
[0164] 7) Set up zero-adjustment wells (culture medium, MTT, dimethyl sulfoxide) and control wells (cells, drug dissolution medium of the same concentration, culture medium, MTT, dimethyl sulfoxide) at the same time.
[0165] 8) Inhibition rate calculation formula: Inhibition rate = OD 样品 -OD 调零孔 / OD 对照孔 -OD 调零孔
[0166] 9) Using the logarithmic concentration as the X-axis and the percentage inhibition rate as the Y-axis, the dose-effect curve was fitted using the log (inhibitor) vs. response-variable slope analysis software GraphPad Prism 5 to obtain the IC50 value of each compound on the enzyme activity.
[0167] 2. Experimental Results
[0168] As shown in Figures 2-4, the inhibition curves of compound D1 and fractinib are consistent, and the toxicity of compound D1 to B16F10 cells is stronger than that of fractinib, and the toxicity of compound S1 is lower than that of compound D1 and fractinib. The above phenomenon shows that the therapeutic effect of compound D1 released after compound S1 targets and enters tumor cells is better than that of existing drugs.
[0169] Example 10: Cytotoxicity study of compound S1, fretinib and compound D1 on A549 cells
[0170] 1. Experimental steps

[0172] 2) Incubate at 37°C with 5% CO2 until the cell monolayer fills the bottom of the wells (96-well flat-bottom plate). Add the drug in a concentration gradient. The final drug concentration ranges from 0 to 100 μM, with a total of 7 concentration points. Dilute the drug serially, adding 100 μL per well, with triplicate wells.
[0173] 3) Incubate at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 48 hours and observe under an inverted microscope.
[0174] 4) Add 20 μl of MTT solution (5 mg / ml, i.e., 0.5% MTT) to each well and continue incubation for 4 hours. If the drug reacts with MTT, centrifuge and discard the culture medium. Carefully rinse with PBS 2-3 times before adding the MTT-containing culture medium.
[0175] 5) Terminate the culture and carefully remove the culture medium from the wells.
[0176] 6) Add 150 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide to each well and shake at low speed for 10 minutes to fully dissolve the crystals. Measure the absorbance of each well at OD490 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
[0177] 7) Set up zero-adjustment wells (culture medium, MTT, dimethyl sulfoxide) and control wells (cells, drug dissolution medium of the same concentration, culture medium, MTT, dimethyl sulfoxide) at the same time.
[0178] 8) Inhibition rate calculation formula: Inhibition rate = OD 样品 -OD 调零孔 / OD 对照孔 -OD 调零孔
[0179] 9) Using the logarithmic concentration as the X-axis and the percentage inhibition rate as the Y-axis, the dose-effect curve was fitted using the log (inhibitor) vs. response-variable slope analysis software GraphPad Prism 5 to obtain the IC50 value of each compound on the enzyme activity.
[0180] 2. Experimental Results
[0181] As shown in Figures 5-7, compound D1 has stronger toxicity to A549 cells than fragrinib, indicating that compound S1 provided by the present invention has better effect on tumor cells than fragrinib, a drug used in the prior art, and has a higher targeting effect.
[0182] Examples 9 and 10 illustrate that compound D1 and its similar structures are more toxic than fretinib in B16F10 cell and A549 cell models, and compound S1 has a better effect on tumor cells in the above two cell models than fretinib used in the prior art, reduces damage to normal cells, and improves the targeted effect of treatment.

[0227] Example 15: Toxicity assays of Fractinib, Compound D1, Niraparib, Rucaparib, Palbociclib, S1, S18, S19, and S20
[0228] Experimental purpose: To understand the acute toxicity of the drug of the present invention by determining the MTD experiment of intravenous administration in mice.
[0229] Experimental drugs: Fractinib, compound D1, Niraparib group, Rucaparib group and Palbociclib, S1, S18, S19 and S20 were dissolved in DMSO and then diluted with normal saline to the corresponding dose during the experiment.
[0230] Animals: BALB / C mice (purchased from Shanghai Lingchang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), weighing 19-21 g, all female.
[0231] Methods and Results: 84 female BALB / C mice, weighing 19-21 g, were randomly divided into 14 groups of 6 mice each. Each mouse received a single intravenous injection of 0.2 ml of saline, fractinib, compound D1, niraparib, rucaparib, palbociclib, S1, S18, S19, and S20, as indicated in Table 8. Each mouse received a high-dose dose, and the mice were observed for 17 days. Animals were observed daily for signs of erect piloerection, matted luster, lethargy, hunched back, or hyperreactivity. Body weight and mortality were recorded. Blood samples were collected for complete blood counts on days 3, 5, and 14. On day 14, the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, spleen, and pancreas were dissected and analyzed for hematoxylin and eosin staining.
[0232] Table 8: Comparison of mortality rates of mice receiving different doses of compound injections and saline
[0233] In summary, it can be seen that when the compounds S1, S18, S19 and S20 provided by the present invention are in the same dose 50 μmol / kg group, compared with the Frozenib, Niraparib, Rucaparib and Palbociclib groups, the animals did not show erected hair, dullness, lethargy, hunchback, overreaction or death. In the high dose 200 μmol / kg group, no death occurred. This further shows that the toxicity of the albumin-conjugated drug is significantly reduced than that of the unconjugated drug, and the therapeutic window index is greatly improved.

[0266] Animals: Forty beagle dogs were randomly divided into four groups, with 10 dogs in each group, half male and half female.
[0267] Experimental Methods: Four groups were administered normal saline, 9, 18, and 36 mg / kg of Compound S1, respectively, once weekly for four weeks. This was followed by a four-week recovery period with no drug administration. The following examinations were performed: general observation, body weight, food intake, clinical pathology (including hematology, blood biochemistry, and coagulation), temperature, electrocardiogram, ophthalmological examination, urine, gross anatomy, organ weights, bone marrow smears, histopathological examination, and toxicokinetics.
[0268] The experimental results showed that animals tolerated all doses well, and the HNSTD dose was 36 mg / kg.
[0269] It should be noted that, as used herein, an "effective amount" refers to an amount of a component sufficient to produce the desired response. The specific effective amount depends on a variety of factors, such as the specific condition being treated, the patient's physical condition (e.g., weight, age, or gender), the duration of treatment, co-administered therapies (if any), and the specific formulation used. "Effective amount" also refers to an amount at which the kinase inhibitors described herein are not significantly outweighed by their toxic or adverse effects.
[0270] In the present disclosure, the therapeutically effective amount of the compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be equivalent to the therapeutically effective amount of a conventional drug molecule D. In some cases, due to the coupling of the linker disclosed in the present disclosure (i.e., group A), it has a higher activation efficiency and anti-tumor effect. Therefore, the therapeutically effective amount of the compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is lower than the therapeutically effective amount of a conventional drug molecule D. In summary, the above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
