Abstract
Description
A class of diene-based long-chain compounds that act on ACLY, their preparation methods and applications Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, specifically to a class of diene-based long-chain compounds that act on ACLY, their preparation methods, and uses. Background Technology
[0002] ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) plays a crucial role in glucose and lipid metabolism. Acetyl-CoA (Ac-CoA), produced in mitochondria, cannot directly cross the mitochondrial membrane into the cytoplasm. However, Ac-CoA enters the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle). Citrate produced in the TCA cycle is transported to the cytoplasm via citrate transport proteins on the mitochondrial membrane. In the cytoplasm, citrate and CoA (CoA) are catalyzed by ACLY to produce acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate, consuming one molecule of ATP. The biological functions of acetyl-CoA in vivo can be summarized in three aspects: In the fatty acid synthesis pathway, it can be carboxylated by acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) to form malonyl-CoA, which is then further processed by related fatty acid synthases to ultimately produce fatty acids; acetyl-CoA is also a precursor in the mevalonate pathway, which synthesizes farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), which participates in cholesterol synthesis; additionally, acetyl-CoA provides raw materials for acetylation reactions, participating in the acetylation of various proteins, including histones. ACLY participates in lipid synthesis and epigenetic regulation in the body by regulating acetyl-CoA.
[0003] Hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are all related to increased lipid synthesis levels. ACLY, as the main enzyme that produces Ac-CoA in the cytoplasm, provides raw materials for lipid synthesis and is a key link in lipid synthesis. The drug Bempedoic acid (ETC-1002), which acts on ACLY, can significantly reduce the level of lipid synthesis in the liver.
[0004] Metabolic remodeling is the most common and primary characteristic of cancer cells. This is because the rapid growth of cancer cells requires large amounts of energy and macromolecules, and their metabolism undergoes significant changes to meet this demand. Since cancerous tissue often develops into irregularly shaped masses, it becomes extremely difficult for cancer cells to obtain lipids from surrounding blood vessels. Their own de novo lipid synthesis is usually at a high level, serving as the main source of lipids required for proliferation. Abnormal epigenetic regulation is another major characteristic of cancer cells. As a key link in epigenetic regulation, histone acetylation plays a crucial role. Elevated histone acetylation levels result in loose chromatin structure, indicating a state of transcriptional activation; conversely, low histone acetylation levels result in tight chromatin structure, indicating a state of transcriptional repression. Studies have shown that the occurrence of many cancers is closely related to elevated histone acetylation levels. Acetyl-CoA, catalyzed by ACLY, is both a raw material for lipid synthesis and participates in histone acetylation. Research indicates that ACLY is highly expressed in various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and liver cancer, and high ACLY expression is closely related to poor prognosis in these cancers.
[0005] In conclusion, the development of ACLY inhibitors holds promise for the clinical treatment of metabolic diseases and cancer. Summary of the Invention

[0156] Test Example 1: ACLY Enzyme Activity Test
[0157] 1.1 Instruments, Materials and Principles
[0158] Instrument: Envision (PerkinElmer, USA)
[0159] Materials: Acl—human ACLY / acly / ATP citrate lyase protein (His tag) purchased from Sino Biological; kinase assay kit ADP-GLO (Promega #V9102).
[0160] Experimental Principle: In this experiment, the ATP-dependent citrate lyase ACL catalyzes the conversion of citrate to acetyl-CoA, which in turn produces malonyl-CoA, a precursor molecule for fatty acid synthesis. This reaction is accompanied by ATP consumption; therefore, the ADP-Glo Kinase Assay (#V9102) can be used to detect changes in ATP, indirectly reflecting the inhibitory effect of the compound on the ACL enzyme activity. This kinase assay kit can quantitatively determine the amount of ADP produced by the ACL enzyme activity. (First, the compound, enzyme, and substrate are co-incubated at 37°C for half an hour. Then, the ADP-Glo AK reagent is added and incubated for another half hour to terminate the reaction and consume the remaining ATP. Next, the kinase assay reagent is added (which converts ADP to ATP while simultaneously using a coupled luciferase / luciferin reaction to detect the newly synthesized ATP) and incubated for another half hour. The value is read using Envision.)
[0161] 1.2 Methods
[0162] The ADP-Glo luminescence assay was used for determination. It quantitatively detects the amount of ADP to reflect the activity of the ACLY enzyme; the amount of ADP detected by the ACLY-catalyzed enzymatic reaction is proportional to the amount of ADP detected by the luminescence signal. First, the compound was diluted in 10% DMSO. Then, 1 μL of the diluted compound was added to 5 μL of the reaction mixture, resulting in a final DMSO concentration of 2%. The ACLY-catalyzed enzymatic reaction was carried out at 37°C for 30 min. The 5 μL reaction mixture contained the following components: 40 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM DTT, ATP, CoA, and Sodium Citrate and ACLY. After the enzymatic reaction, 2.5 μL of ADP-Glo reagent was added to each reaction mixture and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, 5 μL of the kinase detection reagent was added and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. The luminescence signal was detected using Envision (PerkinElmer, USA).
[0163] Data processing: For test activity dose dependence of compounds, IC 50 The value is obtained by nonlinearly fitting the sample activity to the sample concentration. The calculation software used is Graphpad Prism 7, and the fitting model is a sigmoidal dose-response (variable slope). For most inhibitor screening models, the bottom and top of the fitted curve are set to 0 and 100, respectively. Generally, each sample is tested in duplicate (n≥2), and the results are expressed as standard deviation (SD) or standard error (SE).

[0170] Test Example 2: Hepatic Primary Cell Lipid Synthesis Inhibition Activity Test
[0171] 2.1 Materials, Instruments and Principles
[0172] Materials and instruments: primary liver cells, C14-labeled sodium acetate, PBS, HG-DMEM medium, potassium hydroxide, methanol, chloroform, scintillation solution, 12-well cell plates, isotope detector, cell culture incubator.
[0173] Experimental Principle: Acetyl-CoA, produced by the cleavage of citrate by ACLY, is a fundamental module in lipid synthesis. After primary mouse hepatocytes have been starved and depleted of their intracellular energy reserves, insulin stimulation promotes the absorption of extracellular glucose for cellular utilization and enhances de novo lipid synthesis. C14-labeled sodium acetate is converted intracellularly into isotope-labeled acetyl-CoA. The lipids involved in synthesis can also be isotopically labeled, allowing for the quantitative determination of cellular lipid synthesis activity.
[0174] 2.2 Methods
[0175] Gelatin was deposited in 12-well plates, and primary mouse hepatocytes (300,000 / mL) were seeded into the plates. After 6 hours, the plates were replaced with serum-free HG-DMEM. The next day, the test compound was added to treat the cells, and 10 nM insulin was added to stimulate lipid synthesis. 975 μL of substrate C14-labeled sodium acetate solution was added, and the plates were incubated for 4 hours. Each well was washed three times with 1 mL of PBS, and the plates were dried. 600 μL of KOH solution was added to each well to lyse the cells for 1 hour. 480 μL of the lysate was transferred to a 2 mL EP tube, and 1 mL of extraction buffer (chloroform:methanol (v:v) = 2:1) was added. The plates were then rotated for 10 hours. The remaining lysate was used for protein concentration determination. The suspension was centrifuged at 2500g for 10 min, and the lower layer (chloroform layer) was transferred to a new 2 mL EP tube. Place the tube in a fume hood to evaporate the chloroform, add 1000 μL of scintillation fluid to each tube, and read the values.
