Abstract
Description
A combination of POLθ inhibitor and PARP inhibitor and its application
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application 2024112105506, filed on August 30, 2024. The entire contents of the aforementioned Chinese patent application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to a combination of a POLθ inhibitor and a PARP inhibitor and their application. Background Technology
[0003] PARP inhibitors are cancer therapies targeting poly-ADP-ribose polymerase. They were the first anticancer drugs to be approved for clinical use using the concept of synthetic lethality. Currently approved and investigational drugs include olaparib, niraparib, tapazoli, pamiparib, rucaparib, fluzoparib, sennaparib, and saruparib (AZD5305). However, clinical observations have shown that tumors can develop resistance to PARP inhibitors through various mechanisms, and the hematologic toxicity and other side effects of PARP itself limit its clinical value. Therefore, there is an urgent need for combination therapies that can synergistically enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity.
[0004] POLθ (Polymerase theta) is a member of the A family of polymerases, encoding a protein of approximately 290 kDa. Its unique structure comprises an N-terminal helicase-like domain and a C-terminal DNA polymerase domain, with an amorphous region in between. This structure endows POLθ with special biochemical properties. POLθ is known to promote alternative non-homologous end joining (alt-NHEJ) repair pathways. In cancers with BRCA1 / 2 deficiency or reduced homologous recombination (HR) repair capacity, cells rely more heavily on the alt-NHEJ pathway for DNA repair. On the other hand, single-stranded DNA gaps generated after cell replication are repaired by homologous recombination pathways involving proteins such as BRCA1 / 2. In cells with BRCA1 / 2 gene mutations or loss of function, this repair mechanism is impaired, leading to the accumulation of DNA damage. When these cells are treated with PARP inhibitors, the damage is further aggravated. To address this damage, cells rely on the POLθ-mediated end-joining repair pathway to attempt to close these gaps. Therefore, POLθ inhibitors and PARP inhibitors have the potential for synergistic effects when used in combination in cells with impaired homologous recombination repair function. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the technical problem of the lack of effective combination therapy for cancer treatment using POLθ inhibitors and PARP inhibitors in existing technologies, this invention provides a combination of POLθ inhibitors and PARP inhibitors and its application. This combination has demonstrated good synergistic inhibition in multiple solid tumor models, exhibiting superior and more durable therapeutic effects compared to other PARP inhibitor-based combination therapies. Furthermore, it maintains good and durable therapeutic effects even when the PARP inhibitor dose is reduced to half the clinical dose, demonstrating potential for synergistic enhancement and toxicity reduction.

[0065] Terminology Explanation
[0066] The term "pharmaceutical acceptable" means that something is relatively non-toxic, safe, and suitable for patient use.
[0067] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt obtained by reacting a compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base. When a compound contains a relatively acidic functional group, a base addition salt can be obtained by contacting the compound with a sufficient amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable base in a suitable inert solvent. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, calcium, aluminum, magnesium, bismuth, and ammonium salts. When a compound contains a relatively basic functional group, an acid addition salt can be obtained by contacting the compound with a sufficient amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid in a suitable inert solvent. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include, but are not limited to, hydrochloride, sulfate, trifluoroacetate, formate, and p-toluenesulfonate. For details, see Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use (P. Heinrich Stahl, Camille G. Wermuth, 2011, 2nd Revised Edition).

Cells were cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator.
[0112] (3) On day 7, remove the cell culture plate and add an equal volume of CTG reagent (the CTG reagent needs to be pre-mixed according to the reagent instructions to restore the temperature).

Place the six-well cell plate back into the incubator for culture, and replace the culture medium with fresh drug solution as described above.
[0142] (4) Crystal violet staining: Remove the six-well plate from the incubator, remove the culture medium, and wash with PBS. Fix the cells with 1 mL of 100% methanol per well (at room temperature for 15 minutes). After fixation, wash with PBS to remove the methanol. Stain with 1 mL of 0.1% crystal violet per well for 1 hour. After staining, wash three times with 1×PBS until no background staining is visible. Take photos and record the experimental data.
[0143] Data Analysis: The clonal area of each well was calculated using ImageJ software.

[0211] Experimental results: DLD1 BRCA2 - / - In a colorectal cancer xenograft model study, compound 1 significantly enhanced the efficacy of olaparib at an extremely low dose of 0.5 mg / kg QD. Even when the dose of olaparib was reduced to 25 mg / kg QD (below the clinically relevant dose), the combination with compound 1 at 0.25 mg / kg BID still showed excellent synergistic effects, resulting in significant tumor volume reduction. Furthermore, the combination regimen was effective and safe, and also superior to the olaparib monotherapy group in terms of mouse body weight (see Table 6, Figures 12A and 12B. Data points represent within-group means, and error bars represent standard errors (SEM). "**" indicates p < 0.01).

[0224] Experimental Results: The BR-05-0483E tumor xenograft model is a BRCA1-mutated breast cancer model. In this study, the high and low dose groups of compound 1 showed dose-dependent antitumor activity when used alone. Compared with the olaparib 50 mg / kg monotherapy group, the combination therapy of olaparib 50 mg / kg and compound 1 50 mg / kg showed significantly better antitumor effects than either monotherapy group. After drug withdrawal, the olaparib monotherapy group relapsed quickly, while the combination therapy group remained in a state of tumor regression for about 60 days, significantly delaying relapse.
