Description

Dolastatin derivatives and preparation methods and applications thereof

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 2024100521163, filed on January 12, 2024, and cites the full text of the aforementioned Chinese patent application. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to dolastatin derivatives and preparation methods and applications thereof. Background Art

[0003] Dolastatin-10 is a natural product isolated from the marine animal Aplysia. It is a linear decapeptide-like natural cytotoxic protein composed of 4 amino acids. It has extremely strong inhibitory activity on cellular microtubule aggregation, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation and tumor growth.

[0004] Due to its extremely limited natural source, various synthetic dolastatin-10 derivatives (also known as auristatins) have been extensively studied. Among them, dolastatin-10 derivatives synthesized from the tubulin-related inhibitors MMAE (monomethyl auristatin E) and MMAF (monomethyl auristatin F) are widely used as ADC payloads in the research and development of various antibody-drug conjugates. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a series of dolastatin derivatives and their preparation methods, as well as their applications in the preparation of anti-tumor drugs (ADCs) and antibody-drug conjugates.

[0006] Specifically, the present invention optimizes the N-terminus or C-terminus of the dolastatin structure, including dimethylation, replacement, cyclization, and other modifications to the N-methylvaline residue at the N-terminus of dolastatin, or modification of the phenylethyl backbone at the C-terminus of dolastatin. These compounds exhibit potent inhibitory activity against tubulin aggregation, leading to tumor cell apoptosis, and are therefore promising for the development of antibody-drug conjugates and tumor treatment.

[0007] Studies have shown that the N-terminal N,N-dimethylvaline of dolastatin-10 can be modified or replaced without significantly affecting its activity. In addition, the C-terminal phenylethyl group can also be modified without significantly affecting its biological activity.

Furthermore, the relevant terms and laboratory procedures used herein are those widely used in the relevant fields and routine procedures. To facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, definitions and explanations of relevant terms are provided below.

[0059] As used herein and unless otherwise specified, the terms "comprises," "includes," "has," "contains," and their grammatical equivalents should generally be understood as open-ended and non-limiting, e.g., not excluding other unlisted elements or steps.

[0060] The compounds of the present invention may be asymmetric, for example, having one or more stereoisomers. Unless otherwise indicated, all stereoisomers are included, such as enantiomers and diastereomers. The stereoisomers include geometric isomers (such as cis, trans structures) and optical isomers (such as enantiomers), and are therapeutic substances consisting of monomers, racemates, racemic mixtures and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds of the present invention containing asymmetric carbon atoms can be isolated in optically pure form or racemic form. Optically pure forms can be resolved from racemic mixtures or synthesized by using chiral raw materials or chiral reagents. Racemates, diastereomers, and enantiomers are all included within the scope of the present invention.

[0061] The compounds of the present invention also include tautomeric forms, which result from the exchange of a single bond with an adjacent double bond accompanied by the migration of a proton.

[0062] As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refer to salts formed between the corresponding amine compounds and inorganic or organic acids, or between the corresponding carboxylic acid compounds and alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, or between the corresponding carboxylic acid compounds and organic amines. Inorganic acids include, but are not limited to, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like; organic acids include, but are not limited to, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, benzoic acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, gluconic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, and the like; alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium salts; and organic amine salts include, but are not limited to, salts composed of ammonia, methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, isopropylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, tert-butylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, morpholine, piperidine, piperazine, and amino acids.

[0063] As used herein, "precursor" refers to a compound that, after entering the human body via an appropriate administration route, undergoes metabolism or simple chemical changes within the patient's body to transform into the compound of Formula 1 of the present invention and its corresponding salt. Precursors of the compound include, but are not limited to, various carboxylic acid esters, carbonates, phosphates, sulfates, sulfonates, amino acid esters, gluconates, and various amides, acetals, hemiacetals, and carbonate amides.

[0065] When any variable (e.g., Rn) occurs more than once in a compound's composition or structure, its definition at each occurrence is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 1-5 Rn, the group may be optionally substituted with up to 5 Rn, with each occurrence of Rn being an independent choice. Furthermore, combinations of substituents and / or their variants are permitted only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

[0066] The term "alkyl" refers to a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group, which is a straight or branched chain group containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably an alkyl group containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms, more preferably an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and most preferably an alkyl group containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Non-limiting examples include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, 2,2-dimethylpropyl, 1-ethylpropyl, 2-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, n-hexyl, 1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl, 1,1,,2-trimethylpropyl, 1,1-dimethylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, 2-ethylbutyl, 2-methylpentyl, 3-methylpentyl, 4-methylpentyl, 2,3-dimethylbutyl, n-heptyl, 2-methylhexyl, 3-methylhexyl, 4-methylhexyl, 5-methylhexyl, 2, 3-Dimethylpentyl, 2,4-dimethylpentyl, 2,2-dimethylpentyl, 3,3-dimethylpentyl, 2-ethylpentyl, 3-ethylpentyl, n-octyl, 2,3-dimethylhexyl, 2,4-dimethylhexyl, 2,5-dimethylhexyl, 2,2-dimethylhexyl, 3,3-dimethylhexyl, 4,4-dimethylhexyl, 2-ethylhexyl, 3-ethylhexyl, 4-ethylhexyl, 2-methyl-2-ethylpentyl, 2-methyl-3-ethylpentyl, n-nonyl, 2-methyl-2-ethylhexyl, 2-methyl-3-ethylhexyl, 2,2-diethylpentyl, n-decyl, 2,2-diethylhexyl, 2,2-diethylhexyl, and various branched-chain isomers thereof. More preferred are lower alkyl groups containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, non-limiting examples of which include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, 2,2-dimethylpropyl, 1-ethylpropyl, 2-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, n-hexyl, 1-ethyl-2-methylpropyl, 1,1,2-trimethylpropyl, 1,1-dimethylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, 2-ethylbutyl, 2-methylpentyl, 3-methylpentyl, 4-methylpentyl, 2,3-dimethylbutyl, and the like.

Methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl, haloalkyl, deuterated alkyl, alkoxy-substituted alkyl and hydroxy-substituted alkyl are preferred.

[0067] The term "heterocyclyl" refers to a saturated or partially unsaturated monocyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbon substituent containing 3 to 20 ring atoms, one or more of which is a heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or S(O)m (wherein m is an integer from 0 to 2), but excluding the ring portion of -OO-, -OS-, or -SS-, and the remaining ring atoms are carbon. Preferably, it contains 3 to 12 ring atoms, of which 1-4 are heteroatoms; more preferably, it contains 3 to 8 ring atoms; most preferably, it contains 3 to 8 ring atoms; further preferably, it contains 1-3 nitrogen atoms, 3-8 membered heterocyclyl, optionally substituted by 1-2 oxygen atoms, sulfur atoms, or oxo groups, including nitrogen-containing monocyclic heterocyclyl, nitrogen-containing spiroheterocyclyl, or nitrogen-containing fused heterocyclyl.

It goes without saying that the substituents are only in their possible chemical positions, and those skilled in the art can determine (by experiment or theory) possible or impossible substitutions without undue effort. For example, an amino or hydroxyl group with free hydrogen may be unstable when combined with a carbon atom with an unsaturated (e.g., olefinic) bond.

[0070] Refers to the chemical bond connection.

[0071] Drug or pharmaceutical composition

[0072] The medicaments or pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be administered orally, topically, parenterally, or mucosally (e.g., buccally, by inhalation, or rectally) in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The oral route is generally desirable. The active agent can be administered orally in the form of capsules, tablets, and the like (see Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition).

[0073] For oral administration in the form of tablets or capsules, the active drug component can be mixed with non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binders (e.g., pregelatinized corn starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e.g., lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, sorbitol and other reducing and non-reducing sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium sulfate or dibasic calcium phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc or silica, stearic acid, sodium stearyl fumarate, glyceryl behenate, calcium stearate, etc.); disintegrants (e.g., potato starch or sodium starch glycolate); or wetting agents (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate), coloring and flavoring agents, gelatin, sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums (such as acacia, tragacanth or alginates), buffer salts, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, etc. For oral administration in liquid form, the drug component can be combined with a non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier (e.g., ethanol, glycerol, water), an anti-settling agent (e.g., sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or hydrogenated edible fats), an emulsifier (e.g., lecithin or gum arabic), a non-aqueous carrier (e.g., almond oil, oily esters, ethanol or fractionated vegetable oils), a preservative (e.g., methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid), etc. Stabilizers such as antioxidants (BHA, BHT, propyl citric acid, sodium ascorbate, citric acid) can also be added to stabilize the dosage form.

[0074] Tablets comprising the active compound can be coated by methods well known in the art. The compositions of the present invention comprising the compound of formula I as the active compound can also be introduced into beads, microspheres or microcapsules, for example, constructed from polyglycolic acid / lactic acid (PGLA). Liquid preparations for oral administration can take the form of, for example, solutions, syrups, emulsions or suspensions, or they can be presented as dry products reconstituted with water or other suitable adjuvants before use. Preparations for oral administration can be suitably formulated to release the active compound in a controlled or delayed manner.

[0075] The term "treating" includes inhibiting, alleviating, preventing or eliminating one or more symptoms or side effects associated with the disease, condition or disorder being treated.

[0076] The term "inhibit" is used relative to a control. One skilled in the art will readily determine the appropriate control for each experiment. For example, a reduced response in a subject or cell treated with a compound is compared to a response in a subject or cell not treated with the compound.

[0077] The term "pharmaceutical composition" means a composition comprising the compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable ingredient selected from the following depending on the mode of administration and the nature of the dosage form, including but not limited to: carriers, diluents, adjuvants, excipients, preservatives, fillers, disintegrants, wetting agents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, fragrances, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents, lubricants, dispersants, temperature-sensitive materials, temperature regulators, adhesives, stabilizers, suspending agents, etc.

[0078] The term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to a non-toxic but sufficient amount of a drug or medicament that can achieve the desired effect. In embodiments of the present invention, when a patient is treated according to the present invention, the amount of a given drug depends on many factors, such as a specific dosage regimen, the type of disease or condition and its severity, the uniqueness (e.g., body weight) of the patient or host in need of treatment, but, according to specific surrounding circumstances, including, for example, the specific drug, route of administration, the condition to be treated, and the patient or host to be treated, the dosage can be conventionally determined by methods known in the art. Typically, with respect to the dosage used for adult treatment, the dosage is typically in the range of 0.02-5000 mg / day, for example, about 1-1500 mg / day. The desired dosage can be conveniently expressed as a single dose, or simultaneously administered (or in a short period of time) or in divided doses at appropriate intervals, such as two, three, four, or more divided doses per day. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, although the above-mentioned dosage range has been given, the specific effective amount can be appropriately adjusted according to the patient's condition and in conjunction with the physician's diagnosis.

[0079] The term "antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)" is a drug conjugate that connects a biologically active small molecule drug (toxin) to a monoclonal antibody through a chemical link. The monoclonal antibody acts as a carrier to transport the small molecule drug into the target cells.

[0080] The term "antibody" as used herein is used in the broadest sense and specifically encompasses monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, dimers, multimers, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies) and antibody fragments, as long as they exhibit the desired biological activity. Antibodies can be murine, human, humanized, chimeric or derived from other species. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that can recognize and bind to specific antigens. Target antigens typically have multiple binding sites, also known as epitopes, which are recognized by CDRs (complementary determining regions) on a variety of antibodies. Each antibody that specifically binds to a different epitope has a different structure. Therefore, an antigen can have more than one corresponding antibody. Antibodies include full-length immunoglobulin molecules or immunologically active portions of full-length immunoglobulin molecules, i.e., molecules that contain an antigen binding site that immunospecifically binds to a target antigen or a portion thereof, including but not limited to cancer cells or cells that produce autoimmune antibodies associated with autoimmune diseases. The term "antibody" is an immunoglobulin molecule that can bind to a specific antigen. It includes two light chains with lighter molecular weight and two heavy chains with heavier molecular weight. The heavy chain (H chain) and the light chain (L chain) are connected by disulfide bonds to form a tetrapeptide chain molecule.

[0081] As used herein, the term "toxin," also referred to as a "cytotoxic drug moiety" or "small molecule drug," refers to a compound that has a tumor cell-killing effect. Examples of the cytotoxic drug moiety include at least one of an anti-tubulin agent, a DNA intercalator, a DNA topoisomerase inhibitor, a DNA synthesis inhibitor, an RNA polymerase inhibitor, a splicesome inhibitor, a proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC), and an immunomodulator.

[0082] As used herein, the terms "reduce," "inhibit," "mitigate," or "reduce" are used relative to a control. One skilled in the art will readily determine the appropriate control for each experiment. For example, a reduced response in a subject or cell treated with a compound is compared to a response in a subject or cell not treated with the compound.

[0187] Test Example 2: In vivo tumor growth inhibition activity of ADC

[0188] ADC in vitro inhibitory activity test method: NCI-H292 lung cancer cells were cultured in monolayer in vitro. When the cell saturation reached 80%-90%, they were digested with trypsin-EDTA, centrifuged and the supernatant was discarded. The cells were resuspended in PBS and the cell suspension was adjusted to an appropriate concentration. NCI-H292 cells (2-10×10 6 cells / 0.1 mL) were subcutaneously inoculated into BALB / c nude mice, and the animals and transplanted tumor growth were regularly observed. 3 Animals were randomly divided into groups of 6 per group based on tumor volume and body weight. The drug was administered intravenously once a day and monitored until day 22. The experimental groups are shown in Table 2 below. Tumor long diameter (a) (mm), short diameter (b) (mm) (mm) and mouse body weight were measured twice weekly with a vernier caliper. Tumor volume (V) was calculated according to the following formula: V = 1 / 2 × a × b 2 (mm 3 ), where a and b represent tumor length and width, respectively. Growth curves were plotted, and tumors were removed and weighed. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism software based on the data of tumor volume and weight of tumor-bearing mice at the end of the experiment to generate tumor inhibition results (Figures 5 and 6).
