Description

Bivalent inhibitors based on heat shock protein 90, their preparation methods and applications Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to inhibitors of heat shock protein 90, specifically to bivalent inhibitors based on heat shock protein 90, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is one of the most important molecular chaperone proteins and a key regulator of protease inhibition in eukaryotic cells under physiological and stress conditions. HSP90 has hundreds of protein substrates, thus participating in many cellular processes beyond protein folding, playing a crucial role in DNA repair, development, immune responses, and neurodegenerative diseases. HSP90 functions in the chaperone cycle by interacting with numerous co-chaperone proteins, regulating the ATPase conformation of the HSP90 dimer during client protein processing. Without ATP binding, HSP90 primarily adopts a V-shaped open conformation. Upon ATP binding, it undergoes a significant ATP-regulated conformational rearrangement, forming a closed state. After ATP hydrolysis, NTDs dissociate, ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are released, allowing HSP90 to return to its open conformation. In summary, under the regulation of ATP, HSP90 interacts with its co-chaperone proteins at different times to maintain different dimer states, thus playing different roles in different parts of the chaperone cycle. Therefore, the dimerization regulation of HSP90 is crucial.

[0003] Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is closely related to the occurrence and development of diseases such as tumors, and is an attractive target for cancer treatment. Small ATP inhibitors designed targeting the ATP binding pocket of HSP90 have shown significant effects in inhibiting HSP90 activity, inducing substrate protein degradation, blocking cell growth, proliferation and signal transduction. However, the high toxicity of these inhibitors limits their use in scientific research and clinical treatment. Therefore, in order to overcome these shortcomings, novel HSP90 inhibitors urgently need to be developed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technologies, a divalent molecule based on ATP inhibitors was designed in order to solve problems such as high toxicity and side effects, thereby enabling it to exert therapeutic effects in clinical treatment.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bivalent inhibitor based on heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), wherein the bivalent inhibitor is a compound with the structural formula shown in Formula I:

[0006] ALB

[0007] Formula I

[0008] Or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or optical isomers.

[0009] Where: A and B are ATP inhibitors of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), and L represents the linker chain.

[0011] The Chinese name for GDA is Gerdemycin; the Chinese name for 17-AAG is Tanspiramycin; the Chinese name for AT13387 is Onaspic; the Chinese name for NVP-AUY922 is Lumispiramycin; the Chinese name for PU-H71 is Zelavispicb; the chemical name for BIIB021 is 1-hydroxytrianetriane beeswaxol; the chemical name for SNX-2112 is 4-[6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-3-(trifluoromethyl)-5,7-dihydroindoleazol-1-yl]-2-[(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)amino]benzamide; and the chemical name for XL-888 is 2-(butyl-2-amino)-4-N-[(1R,5S)-8-[5-(cyclopropanecarbonyl)pyridin-2-yl-8azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-3-yl]-5-methylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxamide.

[0012] Furthermore, the motif structure of L consists of flexible linking groups of PEG-type and alkane-type or rigid linking groups with aryl, heteroalkyl, or heteroaryl groups.

[0013] [Corrected according to Rule 91, May 16, 2025] The specific structural formula is selected from one of the following;

[0014] Where n represents any independent natural number between 1 and 12.

[0015] [Correction 16.05.2025 based on Rule 91] Further, the compound shown in Formula I is DDO-4104 to DDO-4114, and its structural formula is as follows:

[0016] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the aforementioned divalent inhibitor based on heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), the method comprising the following steps:

[0017] (2,4-bis(benzyloxy)-5-isopropylphenyl)(5-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)isoindoline-2-yl) methyl ketone was dissolved in 50 mL of anhydrous DCM. A dicarboxylic acid compound and HATU were added under ice bath conditions, followed by slow addition of Et3N. The mixture was stirred at room temperature. After the reaction was complete, water was added to the reaction solution for extraction. The resulting organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then evaporated to dryness. The crude product was purified by column chromatography. The stoichiometric ratio of (2,4-bis(benzyloxy)-5-isopropylphenyl)(5-(piperazin-1-ylmethyl)isoindoline-2-yl) methyl ketone, dicarboxylic acid compound, HATU, and Et3N was 2:1:2:4.

[0018] The purified crude product was dissolved in a mixed solution of 1,2-dichloroethane and methanol, and ammonium formate was added. The mixture was stirred at 40°C for 10 minutes, and then 10% Pd / C was added. The mixture was stirred at 40°C for another 50 minutes. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the catalyst was removed by filtration through a diatomaceous earth pad. The filtrate was concentrated into a solid, and the solid was extracted three times with CH2Cl2 and water. The organic phases were combined, dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography to obtain a divalent inhibitor based on heat shock protein 90. The stoichiometric ratio of the purified crude product to ammonium formate was 1:80.

[0019] The dicarboxylic acid compounds include heptaic acid, octanoic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, undecanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, 3,3'-oxydipropionic acid, triethylene glycol diacetic acid, 2,4-pyridine dicarboxylic acid, and 4-carboxyphenylacetic acid.

[0020] Another object of the present invention is to provide the use of a bivalent inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) in the preparation of drugs for gastric or colon cancer.

[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The divalent inhibitor molecule of divalent heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) provided by the present invention can effectively inhibit the activity of the molecular chaperone protein HSP90, hinder the folding modification of substrate proteins, and degrade substrate proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. This divalent inhibitor molecule possesses a mechanism of action different from previous HSP90 ATP inhibitors, capable of inducing non-natural dimerization of HSP90 and interfering with HSP90-related protein-protein interactions. Simultaneously, it reduces the heat shock effect induced by HSP90 inhibition, exhibiting potent substrate protein degradation activity, and can be used to prepare therapeutic drugs for gastric cancer, colon cancer, and other related diseases. The present invention also discloses a method for synthesizing this series of HSP90 divalent ATP inhibitor compounds.

[0022] Specifically, there is no existing bivalent strategy for ATP inhibitors. This invention proposes a novel bivalent strategy. Based on the classic ATP inhibitor AT13387, this invention designs a bivalent molecule that can induce the N-terminus of HSP90 to approach, forming a non-natural dimer. This results in a mechanism of action different from classic ATP inhibitors, interfering with the interaction of HSP90-related co-chair proteins and, to some extent, weakening the heat shock effect of ATP inhibitors. It exhibits strong anti-proliferative activity and can exert a tumor growth inhibitory effect, showing great promise for clinical application.

[0133] Fluorescence polarization experiment (FP method)

[0134] Table 1 shows the results of the compounds' competitive binding activity against FITC-GA molecules to HSP90 NTD and their activity in inducing HSP90 NTD dimerization.

[0135] *a:The concentration of HSP90 NTD=10μM, the concentration of compound:protein=1:2

[0136] Note: The structure of the compound is shown in the specific examples.

[0137] As shown in Table 1, the compounds in the examples all exhibited nM-level binding activity to HSP90 NTD and displayed a structure-activity relationship. Shorter chain length molecules showed relatively better binding activity, essentially maintaining a similar level to the positive control compound AT13387. This indicates that the compounds in the examples of this patent retain strong HSP90 binding activity.

[0138] The procedure for testing the competitive binding activity of the compound with HSP90 NTD using the FP method is as follows:

[0139] First, prepare a 50 mL buffer solution containing 20 mM HEPES, 50 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, and 20 mM NaMoO4, and adjust the pH to 7.3-7.4. Then, add 0.01% NP40, 2 mM DTT, and 0.1 mg / mL BGG. Dissolve the test compound (DMSO content less than 10%), HSP90 NTD protein, and probe molecules in this buffer solution. Using a 384-well plate, set up two replicates. Add 20 μL of HSP90 NTD protein solution (final concentration 60 nM), 20 μL of probe molecule solution (final concentration 40 nM), and finally 20 μL of compound solution (maximum final concentration 3 μM, 3-fold dilution, 10 concentration gradients) to each well. For the [probe + protein] control wells, add 20 μL of HSP90 NTD protein solution, 20 μL of probe molecule solution, and 20 μL of the buffer solution for this system. For the [probe] control wells, add 20 μL of probe molecule solution and 40 μL of buffer solution. Incubate the 384-well plate at room temperature (25℃) for 30 min. Collect data using a microplate reader at a wavelength of 405 nm. Analyze the results using GraphPad software.

[0143] As shown in Figure 1, the divalent inhibitor molecules DDO-4105, DDO-4110 and DDO-4113 induce HSP90 dimerization, while the ATP inhibitor does not induce dimerization. The test results show that the compounds induce HSP90 NTD dimerization in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner, and exhibit a typical "Hook" effect at high concentrations.

[0144] As shown in Table 1, the compounds in the examples induced different degrees of dimerization when the compound to protein concentration ratio was 1:2, exhibiting a structure-activity relationship related to the linker chain length. Among them, compound DDO-4113 in the examples showed the strongest effect.

[0145] The operation method for Native-page testing is as follows:

[0146] The native-page dimerization experiment followed standard experimental procedures. The specific procedures included protein extraction, co-incubation with different ratios of protein and compound, sampling at different time points, preparation of non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels, native-page analysis, and result scanning.

[0150] As shown in Figure 2, DDO-4105 induces non-natural dimerization of HSP90 NTD.

[0151] The operation method of crystal structure diffraction is as follows:

[0158] The Co-IP testing procedure is as follows:

[0159] Western blotting experiments were conducted according to standard procedures.

[0164] The operation method of the CCK8 method test is as follows:

[0165] Logarithmically growing cells were cultured in 96-well plates for 24 hours, with 100 μL per well (total number of tumor cells per well: 3000-8000). After 24 hours, different concentrations of the compound were added to the drug-treated groups, diluted with the corresponding culture medium, with 8 concentrations and 3 replicates per group. The control group received the same volume of culture medium as the experimental groups. The plates were then incubated in a cell culture incubator. After 72 hours, the culture medium was discarded, and 100 μL of cell culture medium containing 10% CCK8 was added to each well. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 1-3 hours with gentle shaking, and the optical density (OD) was measured using a microplate reader (reference wavelength 450 nm, detection wavelength 570 nm) until the OD value of the blank control group was >1.2.

[0185] In vivo pharmacodynamic evaluation of compound DDO-4113

[0186] In vivo pharmacodynamic studies of compound DDO-4113 were conducted in balb / c-nu nude mice (5 weeks). Mice were fed standard laboratory rodent diet and water for 5 days under standard conditions (12 / 12h light / dark cycle, 22±3℃, 40% relative humidity). HCT116 cells (5*10⁻⁶ cells) were then subcutaneously injected into the right side of the mice. 6 (Number of tumors). When the average tumor volume reaches approximately 100 mm... 3 Mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (including a control group, high / low dose AT13387 groups, and high / low dose DDO-4113 groups, n=6 in each group). The drugs were administered intraperitoneally every two days (the control group received saline) for 21 consecutive days. Mice mortality was monitored every other day, and tumor volume and nude mouse weight were measured. Mice were considered dead at the end of the 21-day period or when the tumor volume reached 1800 mmHg. 3 Afterwards, the nude rats were euthanized.

[0187] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, high doses (50 mg / kg) of AT13387 exhibited strong toxicity, with mice beginning to die on the 3rd day after administration and all mice dying by the 9th day, showing significant weight loss and demonstrating strong toxicity. High doses (50 mg / kg) of DDO-4113 also resulted in weight loss, but the effect was weaker compared to AT13387, and the survival rate of mice was better than that of AT13387. Low doses (25 mg / kg) of both compounds showed relatively weak toxic side effects.

[0188] As shown in Figure 10, DDO-4113 and AT13387 have similar anti-tumor growth effects at both high and low doses, and can exert a good tumor-suppressing effect.
