Description
Dimethylphosphoryl-substituted compounds, methods of making, pharmaceutical compositions, and uses thereof
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024112654700, filed on September 10, 2024, and Chinese Patent Application No. 2024119407920, filed on December 26, 2024. This application incorporates the entirety of the above-mentioned Chinese Patent Applications. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to dimethylphosphoryl-substituted compounds, methods of making, pharmaceutical compositions, and uses thereof. BACKGROUND
[0003] Tumor cells increase the synthesis of oncogenic proteins at the level of translation by interfering with translation initiation factors to meet their need for vigorous proliferation. Therefore, the translation initiation step plays an extremely important role in many oncogenic pathways and can be used as a target for anti-tumor drugs. By pharmacologically activating eIF2a (the a subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2) kinase, the integrated stress response (ISR) of cells can be triggered, resulting in upregulation of eIF2a phosphorylation. Upregulation of eIF2a phosphorylation downregulates the synthesis of somatic proteins while selectively upregulating genes such as activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) to resist, for example, malignant tumor invasion. eIF2a kinases include four serine / threonine kinases, namely HRI (heme-regulated inhibitor kinase, EIF2AK1), PKR (double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase / protein kinase R, EIF2AK2), PERK (pancreatic eIF2a kinase / PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase, EIF2AK3), and GCN2 (general control nonderepressible-2, EIF2AK4).
[0004] According to the data released by the World Health Organization in March 2024, in 2022, 2.3 million women worldwide were diagnosed with breast cancer, and 670,000 people died of breast cancer; in 185 countries, breast cancer is the most common female cancer in 157 countries. Although the drug treatment of breast cancer has made great progress, there are still significant shortcomings in effectiveness and safety. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new drugs for breast cancer treatment with new mechanisms of action.
[0005] Ting Chen et al. reported that the prototype eIF2a kinase HRI activator BTdCPU showed significant anti-tumor activity against MCF-7 human breast cancer xenografts on female nude mice with mild toxicity. However, BTdCPU has the defect of poor in vivo stability. Revital Yefidoff-Freedman et al. reported that the new HRI activator 3r is stable in vivo and can significantly and dose-dependently inhibit the growth of CRL-2813 human melanoma xenografts on male nude mice. However, the physicochemical properties of 3r are not ideal, with too high lipophilicity and insufficient solubility. Its CLogP is as high as 6.20, and according to Lipinski's '5 rules', it is predicted to be poorly druggable. The lipophilic electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group is considered to be the best substituent at the 4-position of the new generation of HRI activators represented by 3r. Jinsook Kwak et al. reported that the bioisosteric squaramide was used to replace the urea functional group in the aforementioned new generation of HRI activators, and tried to use nitro, cyano and methylsulfonyl to replace trifluoromethyl as the 4-position substituent, obtaining target compounds 19 and 40 that can up-regulate eIF2a phosphorylation and its downstream effectors ATF4 and CHOP.
[0006] Coronaviruses are RNA viruses belonging to the family Coronaviridae in the order Nidovirales. According to the serotype and genomic characteristics, they are divided into four genera, i.e., alphacoronavirus, betacoronavirus, gammacoronavirus and deltacoronavirus. Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) belongs to the genus alphacoronavirus and can cause mass mortality of piglets, resulting in huge losses to the global pig industry. Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) belongs to the genus betacoronavirus and is highly infectious to mice. Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) belongs to the genus gammacoronavirus and is the pathogen of chicken infectious bronchitis, which is one of the important diseases in the chicken industry. Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) belongs to the genus deltacoronavirus and has caused great losses to the global pig industry. In addition, PDCoV has the risk of infecting humans. Vaccine immunization is the main means for preventing and controlling the above-mentioned coronaviruses, and there is no specific drug. However, the existing vaccines cannot meet the prevention and control needs in terms of protection efficacy, safety, etc., especially lacking broad-spectrum activity. Therefore, it is urgent to develop broad-spectrum and efficient therapeutic drugs.
[0007] Orthopoxviruses are DNA viruses belonging to the genus Orthopoxvirus in the family Poxviridae. They include variola virus, monkeypox virus, ectromelia virus, vaccinia virus, cowpox virus and TTV (taterapox virus). Viruses in the genus Orthopoxvirus can cause smallpox, monkeypox and other viral infections that seriously endanger human health. Since September 20, 2023, the National Health Commission of China has included monkeypox in the management of Category B infectious diseases and taken prevention and control measures for Category B infectious diseases. On August 14, 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the monkeypox outbreak constitutes an “international public health emergency”. SUMMARY

HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin G (Cat. No. 115-035-003) and goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G (Cat. No. 111-035-003) were purchased from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories.
[0179] Vero cells or LLC-PK1 cells were seeded into 6-well plates and cultured at 37°C and 5% carbon dioxide in a cell incubator to a cell density of 80-90%. The culture solution was discarded, and dimethyl sulfoxide stock solutions (20 mM) of compounds SIPI-25, SIPI-27, and SIPI-28 were diluted to 35 μM, 50 μM, and 15 μM, respectively, with the corresponding cell maintenance solution to a volume of 2 mL per well; 2 μg / mL of a puromycin solution diluted with the corresponding cell maintenance solution was added to label the cells for 1 h at 3, 7, 11, 17, and 23 h after administration, and the cells were collected at 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 h after administration. After the PBS was discarded, the cells were lysed by adding RIPA buffer (150 μL) per well, and the lysate was transferred to a centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was mixed with 5x SDS protein loading buffer (37.5 μL), and the mixture was denatured at 100°C for 10 min. The supernatant was subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis and then transferred to a PVDF membrane. The PVDF membrane was removed and blocked with 5% non-fat milk at room temperature for 2 h. After blocking, the PVDF membrane was washed with TBST on a shaker for 3 times. Puromycin antibody (1:2000 dilution), P-eIF2α antibody (1:2000 dilution), T-eIF2α antibody (1:2000 dilution), and β-actin antibody (1:10000 dilution) were used as primary antibodies, and the PVDF membrane was incubated at 4°C overnight. After incubation, the PVDF membrane was removed and washed with TBST on a shaker for 3 times. The PVDF membrane incubated with puromycin antibody was incubated with HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin G diluted 1:8000 as a secondary antibody, and the PVDF membrane incubated with P-eIF2α antibody, T-eIF2α antibody, and β-actin antibody was incubated with HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G diluted 1:8000 as a secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 h, and then washed with TBST on a shaker for 3 times. The PVDF membrane was incubated in ECL luminescent developing solution for 20 s, and then detected for development on an automatic chemiluminescence image analysis system (Shanghai Tianyi, Tanon 5200 Multi). The results of the puromycin labeling experiment and eIF2α phosphorylation determined by Western blotting after treatment of Vero cells or LLC-PK1 cells with compounds SIPI-25, SIPI-27, or SIPI-28 are shown in FIG. 9 (Vero cells), FIG. 10 (LLC-PK1 cells), FIG. 11 (Vero cells), and FIG. 12 (Vero cells).
