Abstract
Description
A compound having a benzamide structure and its preparation method and application
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on March 6, 2024, with application number CN202410254850.8 and invention name “A compound having a benzamide structure, its preparation method and application”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0002] The present application relates to the field of small molecule drugs. Specifically, the present application provides a compound (i.e., a compound having a benzamide structure) that covalently binds to CRBN to inhibit its activity, as well as methods for synthesizing and using such a compound. Background Art
[0003] Cereblon (CRBN) is a conserved 442-amino acid protein located on the short arm of human chromosome 3, p26.3, with a molecular weight of 51 kDa. The CRBN gene has been identified as a candidate gene for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic mild mental retardation (ARNSMR). CRBN is widely expressed in the testes, spleen, prostate, liver, pancreas, placenta, kidney, lung, skeletal muscle, ovary, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes, colon, brain, and retina, with expression significantly higher in brain (including the retina) and testis than in other tissues.
[0004] CRBN, as an important target for anti-tumor and immunomodulatory drugs, has been shown to be effective in treating various hematological malignancies such as multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, skin diseases such as erythema nodosum leprosum, and autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. However, amides are associated with significant side effects, particularly peripheral neuropathy. There is an urgent need to develop CRBN modulators with no teratogenic effects, reduced peripheral neuropathy, stronger immunomodulatory effects, and enhanced anti-tumor activity to improve clinical efficacy, reduce side effects, and facilitate long-term use in patients.
[0005] In recent years, the concept of targeted protein degradation (TPD) has made breakthrough progress, challenging the traditional new drug development strategy of protein inhibitors (Lai AC, et al, Nat Rev Drug Discov, 2017; 16(2): 101). Among them, the protein targeted degradation chimeric (PROTAC) constructed based on the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has become a hot topic in drug research due to its outstanding performance in degrading proteins such as ER, AR, BTK, and EGFR. To date, more than 20 PROTACs have entered clinical research, and Arvinas's ER-targeted ARV-471 has entered Phase III clinical trials.
[0006] The mechanism of action of PROTAC is shown in Figure 1: one end of it is a ligand fragment connected to the target protein (Protein of Interest, POI), and the other end is a ligand fragment connected to the E3 ligase, and the two are connected by a linker. This allows the molecule to shorten the spatial distance between the E3 ligase and the POI through its amphiphilicity, constructing a ternary complex of E3 ligase-PROTAC-target protein, so that the POI is ubiquitinated and then degraded by the 26S-proteasome, releasing the PROTAC molecule to continue to function (Lu W. Innovation (Camb), 2023; 4(3): 100422.).
[0007] Currently, more than 600 E3 ligases are known to function in human cells, but the most commonly used ones are CRBN and VHL. Among them, CRBN is the most commonly used E3 ligase because its ligands (such as thalidomide, pomalidomide, lenalidomide and avadolamine) have a small molecular weight, reasonable drug lipophilicity and reduced HBD / nRotB number, which makes it easier to optimize drugability (Guedeney N et al. Drug Discov Today, 2023, 28(1): 103395). However, the use of CRBN ligand degraders will degrade the neo-substrate, resulting in some off-target toxicity, and may cause the degradation of lymphoid transcription factors such as IKZF1, IKZF3 and SALL4, which has the potential risk of teratogenicity (Steinebach C et al. J Med Chem, 2023; 66(21): 14513). Therefore, researchers have developed a series of new CRBN ligands, such as benzotriazine glutarimide, phenyl glutarimide, aniline glutarimide and phenyldihydrouracil. These CRBN ligands all retain high affinity with CRBN and show certain advantages in improving selectivity. However, since there are no Cys residues commonly used for covalent bonds near the binding pocket between CRBN and the ligand, the new CRBN ligands reported above are all reversible and non-covalent. The reversible CRBN ligands reported in the literature are shown in Figure 2. Traditional CRBN ligands are easily hydrolyzed or degraded by enzymes, which may cause degradation of lymphoid transcription factors and pose a potential risk of teratogenicity. The new CRBN ligand retains affinity with CRBN, improves physical and chemical properties, and has been successfully applied to PROTAC.
[0008] In 2022, Cruite et al. developed a covalent binder targeting the terminal histidine His353 residue of CRBN for the first time based on the SuFEx reaction. They found that the sulfonyl fluoride compound EM12-FS can not only efficiently covalently bind to CRBN but also maintain good stability in plasma and hepatocytes. They also found that this covalent binder has some regulatory functions that non-covalent binders do not have (Cruite JT, et al. RSC Chem Biol, 2022; 3(9): 1105).
[0009] However, since this type of covalent binder still retains the parent nuclear structure of the traditional CRBN ligand, it may still degrade the neo-substrate, causing some off-target toxicity, and may cause the degradation of lymphoid transcription factors such as IKZF1, IKZF3 and SALL4, thereby posing a teratogenic risk.

[0066] Example 11 CRBN protein binding affinity experiment
[0067] The binding affinity of CRBN protein was detected by TR-FRET fluorescence method:
[0068] The Cullin4a / Rbx1 / DDB1 / CRBN E3Ligase Complex TR-FRET Kit rapidly and sensitively monitors the binding of ubiquitin proteins to the E3 complex in solution, resulting from enzymatic ubiquitination. This real-time TR-FRET assay measures the formation of ubiquitin chains with CRBN (or substrate). When no compound binds to CRBN, fluorescence at 665 nm is strong and at 620 nm is weak under excitation at 320 nm. When a compound binds to CRBN, fluorescence at 665 nm increases and at 620 nm decreases under excitation at 320 nm. The inhibition rate of CRBN binding is calculated by comparing the fluorescence intensities at λ = 665 nm and λ = 620 nm (refer to the kit instructions for calculation).
[0069] Experimental process:
[0070] Dilute 10X Reaction Buffer to 1X Reaction Buffer with dd H2O.
[0071] Preparation of 2.5X Mixture: Dispense 100 μL of UBA1, UBE2D1, Cul4a / Rbx1 Complex (neddyl.), DDB1 / CRBN, and TRF-Ubiquitin Mix into 3500 μL of 1X Reaction Buffer, place on ice until needed, and store any unused stock solution in aliquots at -80°C. Add 5 μL / well of the compound working solution dilution to the corresponding wells of the assay plate. Add 5 μL / well of 1X Reaction Buffer (5% DMSO) to the positive control wells and 5 μL / well of 1X Reaction Buffer to the blank control wells. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 1 min. Add 10 μL / well of 2.5X Mixture to the assay plate. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 1 min. Add 1 mL of 10X Mg-ATP to 1 mL of 1X Reaction Buffer. Prepare a 2.5X working solution in the buffer and dispense 10 μL / well of the working solution into the corresponding wells of the test plate; add 10 μL / well of 1X Reaction Buffer to the blank wells and incubate at room temperature for 20 minutes. After incubation, perform HTRF detection using Envision, with excitation at 320 nm and emission at 620 nm and 665 nm, and calculate the binding inhibition rate according to the method in the test kit instructions.
[0072] The results of the inhibition rate of different compounds binding to CRBN are as follows:
[0073] The synthesized target compound was subjected to TR-FRET fluorescence detection test, and EM12-FS and lenalidomide reported in the literature were used as positive drug controls. 50 The IC value is 1480nM, which is consistent with the IC value reported in the literature. 50 =1.5μM (Cruite JT, et al. RSC Chem Biol, 2022; 3(9): 1105), indicating that the accuracy and reliability of the TR-FRET fluorescence detection test in this experiment meet the requirements. The nine target compounds synthesized all have better inhibition rates on the binding of lenalidomide to CRBN and better than the positive control EM12-FS. Among them, w-9 has the best binding to CRBN, with IC 50The activity of the compound provided in the present application is 41nM, which is six times stronger than that of the positive drug EM12-FS. Therefore, the compound provided in the present application can bind to and inhibit CRBN well, and can be used as a ligand of the ubiquitin E3 ligase for targeted protein degradation strategy, or in the preparation of pharmaceutical preparations for preventing or treating diseases caused by abnormal CRBN. The disease is a tumor or an autoimmune disease, and the tumor includes mantle cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, solid tumors, and the autoimmune disease includes rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriasis.
