Abstract
Description
A phenylacrylamide compound, its preparation method and application Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a phenylacrylamide compound, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Medical data indicates a close relationship between inflammation and the development of tumors. For example, Helicobacter pylori infection tends to increase the risk of stomach cancer; chronic hepatitis may also be a direct cause of liver cancer. Other factors, such as autoimmune enteropathy, are closely related to colon cancer, and fine particulate matter in the air is also a contributing factor to lung cancer. Cancer is defined as a non-infectious disease, similar to heart disease, chronic respiratory diseases, or diabetes. These are mostly long-term chronic diseases with slow progression. The correlation between inflammation and tumors was first proposed by Galenus 1800 years ago, and many studies have confirmed that persistent inflammation can cause lesions to progress from infection or autoimmune inflammation to tumors.
[0003] Phenylacetamide compounds are widely found in bioactive natural products, especially those with hydroxyl substitutions on the benzene ring. These natural products possess a variety of biological activities, such as antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor effects, and have a very broad research prospect. Structural modification of these natural products can help discover lead compounds with stronger tumor-suppressive activity, therapeutic activity for autoimmune diseases and various infectious and non-infectious inflammatory diseases, and lower toxicity than the original natural products. Furthermore, these lead compounds can be developed into antitumor drugs, drugs for treating neurodegenerative diseases, and anti-inflammatory immunomodulatory drugs.
[0004] ACAT1 belongs to the specific thiolase superfamily and is known as acetyl-CoA thiotransferase (ACAT). Many reports indicate that ACAT1 expression is often aberrant in tumor cells and plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and development. The upregulation mechanisms of ACAT1 activity in different human cancer cells warrant further investigation. High ACAT1 expression reduces overall survival; in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells, ACAT1 overexpression leads to ketone body reusability, driving tumor progression and metastasis. Therefore, research on phenylacrylamide derivatives targeting ACAT1 may lead to the discovery of novel antitumor drugs.
[0005] 3-KAT, also known as 3-ketoyl-CoA thiolytic enzyme, has its main biological function in mitochondria where it catalyzes the complete cleavage of long-chain and short-chain fatty acids into acetyl-CoA. In peroxisomes, its substrates are very long-chain fatty acids (≥ C22), long-chain fatty acids, and branched-chain fatty acids. After a limited β-oxidation cycle, the carbon chains are shortened, and the products then enter the mitochondria for further oxidation. Inhibiting 3-KAT can also inhibit the growth of tumors, especially melanoma and glioma.
[0006] Furthermore, natural products based on this structure exhibit multi-target characteristics, and other potential targets are summarized below:
[0007] Caspase-3 is a caspase protein that interacts with caspase-8 and caspase-9. It is encoded by the casp3 gene. Elevated levels of caspase-3, specifically the p17 fragment, in the blood are a hallmark of recent myocardial infarction. Current research suggests that caspase-3 may play an important role in embryonic and hematopoietic stem cell differentiation and apoptosis. Studies have shown abnormally high caspase-3 expression in patients with head and neck cancer and breast cancer; therefore, reducing its expression may be one way to mitigate cancer development and progression.
[0008] Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR): Mutant activation of EGFR is an important factor leading to abnormal biological activities of tumor cells. Among them, the T790M mutation in EGFR is a change in a base pair from cytosine nucleoside (C) to thymine (T), that is, the threonine at position 790 of the EGFR tyrosine kinase is replaced by methionine. This mutation can reactivate EGFR, thereby leading to resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Some derivatives containing phenylacrylic acid and amide have been reported to have EGFR inhibitory activity. AIDD has also verified that such compounds also have inhibitory activity against the T790M mutation.
[0009] Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a class of proteases that play a crucial role in chromosome structural modification and gene expression regulation. Normally, histone acetylation facilitates the dissociation of DNA from histone octamers, relaxes nucleosome structure, and allows various transcription factors and co-transcription factors to specifically bind to DNA binding sites, activating gene transcription. Within the cell nucleus, histone acetylation and deacetylation are in dynamic equilibrium, jointly regulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs).
[0010] Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH2: EZH2 is an enzyme encoded by the human EZH2 gene. Two transcript variants transcribed from this gene have been identified, encoding different subtypes. Gene sequence alterations are fundamentally different from epigenetic modification abnormalities. Once a DNA sequence mutation occurs, the gene is difficult to repair, or the mutated gene product is difficult to eliminate. However, epigenetic modification abnormalities can potentially be reversed by inhibitors of their associated chromatin-modifying enzymes. Therefore, clarifying the mechanism of action of epigenetic modifying enzymes in tumor cells is crucial, thereby providing corresponding therapeutic approaches to prevent epigenetic modification mutations. Currently, there are no marketed EZH2 inhibitors, and five drugs are in Phase I / II clinical trials.
[0011] Src kinase is a non-receptor protein kinase that is widely present in cancer cells and plays an important role in various processes of cell growth and proliferation, such as gene transcription, cell differentiation, migration, angiogenesis, and prevention of apoptosis. Research on Src inhibitors has become a hot topic in anti-tumor drug research. Currently, a number of Src inhibitors are in the clinical research stage.
[0012] Cancer immunotherapy is an increasingly effective cancer treatment strategy. T cells play a key role in immunotherapy, and numerous immune checkpoints are a treasure trove waiting to be explored. Since the efficacy of CTLA-4 and PD-1 / PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies has been confirmed, competition in this monoclonal antibody track has become fierce. Therefore, more attention should be paid to other immune checkpoint targets, whose functions determine the efficacy of immunotherapy.
[0013] T cell survival and development are influenced by TCR signaling, which in turn depends on Src family kinases (SFKs). Lck is an important member of the SFK family and is expressed throughout most of the T cell lifecycle. Furthermore, Lck plays a crucial role in activating the TCR signaling pathway to activate T cells. CSK is a key regulator of SFKs; its phosphorylation of Lck (Tyr505) inactivates Lck, which in turn inhibits T cell activation via the TCR. Therefore, CSK and p-Lck (Tyr505) may be effective targets for future immunomodulatory therapies.
[0014] CD73 is a 5-nucleotide hydrolase that hydrolyzes extracellular adenosine monophosphate (AMP) into adenosine. Adenosine is a potent immunosuppressive molecule that inhibits the activation of CD8-positive T cells, thereby helping cancer cells evade T cell attacks. Tumor-infiltrating NK cells upregulate CD73 expression, and the frequency of these CD73+ NK cells is correlated with tumor size in breast cancer patients. These findings support the idea that tumors can hijack NK cells for immune evasion, and that CD73 expression defines an induced NK cell population with immunomodulatory properties within the tumor microenvironment.
[0015] KIR, or killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor, is a receptor expressed on the surface of NK cells and some T cells. It can specifically recognize MHC-I molecules on the cell surface, thereby exerting an immunomodulatory function.
[0016] LAG-3, lymphocyte activating factor 3 protein, is an immune negative regulatory molecule receptor distributed in activated T cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells that can bind to MHC class II molecules. It has the functions of maintaining homeostasis and participating in immune regulation, and is closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors.
[0017] 4-1BB, also known as CD137, is a member of the TNF family expressed on the surface of activated T cells. It is an inducible T cell surface receptor. 4-1BB and its ligands are another important co-stimulatory molecule in addition to the CD28 / B7 co-stimulatory signaling pathway.
[0018] It is associated with the following in terms of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory immune effects:
[0019] Because phenylacrylamide structures are widely found in polyphenolic secondary metabolites of plants, it possesses strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Its activity in scavenging 1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine free radicals is 2-3 times that of vitamins C and E, and its activity in scavenging superoxide anion free radicals is 10-30 times that of vitamins C and E. Regarding its anti-inflammatory effects, it exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in a carrageenan-induced rat paw edema inflammation model. Its mechanism involves inhibiting the production of interleukin-8 (IL-8) by scavenging intracellular ROS, inhibiting p38 cascade phosphorylation, and upregulating the nuclear factor NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby exerting an anti-inflammatory effect. It also inhibits the activation of the NF-κB inflammatory pathway and p65 acetylation caused by bacterial or viral infections, leading to the massive production and release of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1, TNF-α, and interleukin-6, thus contributing to the treatment of infectious myocarditis and cytokine storms.
[0020] Pathological studies of neurodegenerative diseases Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases have shown that chronic oxidative stress and inflammation lead to neuronal damage. Based on the strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of phenylacrylic acids, they have been found to have good neuroprotective effects. Some clinical and preclinical studies have shown that phenylacrylamide natural products exhibit good therapeutic effects against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. They can improve memory loss and hippocampal cell death following transient global cerebral ischemia. They prevent saturated free fatty acid-induced lipotoxicity by activating SIRT1-regulated mitochondrial function. The mechanism involves reducing ROS production and increasing mitochondrial mass and mitochondrial membrane potential, thus alleviating oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction; and significantly reducing the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, thereby reducing mitochondrial-mediated caspase-dependent apoptosis.
[0021] Although phenylacrylamide derivatives have been shown to have a broad range of activities as described above, their exact mechanisms of action and structure-activity relationships require further investigation. It is necessary to synthesize their structural derivatives and study their drug action and the diseases they can treat, especially inflammation-related (infectious and non-infectious), tumors, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and aging.

[0147] IIC values of phenylacrylamide derivatives targeting ACAT1 and 3-KAT 50 Measurement
[0148] (I) Experimental Methods
[0149] Screening methods for ACAT1 small molecule inhibitors
[0150] ACAT1 catalyzes the reversible formation of acetyl-CoA from two molecules of acetyl-CoA. Its activity is measured by the reaction of ACAT1 with the substrate acetyl-CoA and CoA to produce the product acetyl-CoA. Since acetyl-CoA exhibits specific absorption in a particular spectrum, the increase or decrease in absorption in this specific spectrum reflects the effect on ACAT1 enzyme activity.
[0151] Recombinant ACAT1 protein was expressed and purified using *E. coli*, yielding a concentration of 1 mg / mL. For screening ACAT1 small molecule inhibitors, a buffer solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.1), 20 mM MgCl2, and 40 mM KCl was used. In a 200 μL enzyme catalysis system, 1 μL of recombinant ACAT1 protein, acetyl-CoA substrate to a final concentration of 25 μM, CPM probe to a final concentration of 100 μM, and different concentrations of small molecule inhibitors were added. Detection was performed using a Biotek Synergy H1 microplate reader with excitation light at 355 nm and emission light at 460 nm. Inhibitor IC50 analysis was performed using Prism 7.0 software. 50 The calculation.
[0152] Screening methods for 3-KAT small molecule inhibitors
[0153] Ketoacyl-CoA thiolytic enzymes catalyze the final reaction of fatty acid β-oxidation, using various long-chain fatty acids as substrates, releasing acetyl-CoA and producing acyl-CoA with a two-carbon deficiency. In eukaryotes, ketoacyl-CoA thiolytic enzymes are further divided into mitochondrial and peroxidosomal types. Long-chain ketoacyl-CoA (e.g., ketohexadecyl-CoA; 3-ketohexadecanoyl-CoA) undergoes cleavage of its magnesium-enolate under the catalysis of long-chain thiolytic enzyme I, resulting in a reduction in the long-chain ketoacyl-CoA substrate. This reduction is observed as a decrease in absorbance at a spectrophotometer (303 nm), allowing for quantitative analysis of the activity of long-chain ketoacyl-CoA thiolytic enzymes.
[0154] Mitochondrial protein was extracted from 10 μg of B16F10 cells, and 50 μM Palmityl CoA was added. The mixture was reacted at 37℃ for 15 min, followed by the addition of 2 mM NAD, and then reacted again at 37℃ for another 15 min to obtain 3-KAT protein. For screening 3-KAT small molecule inhibitors, the buffer solution used was 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.1), 20 mM MgCl2, and 40 mM KCl. In a 200 μL enzyme catalysis system, 90 μL of recombinant 3-KAT protein, a final concentration of coenzyme A of 25 μM, and different concentrations of small molecule inhibitors were added. Detection was performed using a spectrophotometer (Flex A-200) at an absorbance of 303 nm, and IC50 analysis of the inhibitors was conducted using Prism 7.0 software. 50 The calculation.
[0155] (II) Experimental Results
[0156] The screening results of the in vitro effects on ACAT1 and 3-KAT activities are shown in Table 1.
[0157]
[0158] As shown in Table 1 above, compounds M1, M2, and M3 have inhibitory activity against both ACAT1 and 3-KAT targets, M6, M8, and M10 have inhibitory activity against ACAT1, and M4, M7, and M9 have strong inhibitory activity against 3-KAT.

[0162] Pharmacodynamic study methods in a mouse LPS-induced cytokine storm model
[0163] Seventy male Balb / c mice were used in the experiment and randomly divided into four groups: a solvent control group, a model group (LPS, 10 mg / kg, intraperitoneal injection (ip)), a positive control group (tocilizumab, 5 mg / kg, intravenous injection (iv)), a prednisone acetate group (prednisone, 5 mg / kg, po, once daily (qd)), an M1 intravenous injection group (3 mg / kg, iv, qd), a low-dose M1 group (30 mg / kg, oral po, qd), and a high-dose M1 group (60 mg / kg, po, qd), with 10 mice in each group. Except for the tocilizumab group, all other treatment groups were administered medication starting on day 0 for 7 consecutive days. The tocilizumab group was administered medication 1 hour before modeling. One hour after the last administration, 100 μL of LPS solution was injected into each mouse via intraperitoneal injection. Modeling was performed on all mice except the solvent control group, resulting in a total of 60 mice with the model. Animal weight was measured daily, and animals were processed 24 hours after modeling for organ index and cytokine levels (a total of 48 types).
[0164] (II) Experimental Results
[0165] The effect of compound M1 on body weight in a mouse model of LPS-induced cytokine storm is shown in Figure 1.
[0166] As shown in Figure 1, the body weight of mice in both M1 gavage groups was better than that in the model group, indicating that M1 has a significant protective effect on LPS-induced cytokine storm model mice.
[0167] The effects of compound M1 on organ indices in a mouse model of LPS-induced cytokine storm are shown in Figures 2A-2C.
[0168] As shown in Figures 2A-2C, the 30 mg / kg M1 administration group significantly reduced the lung index in mice, and the heart index was significantly lower than that in the model group. This indicates that 30 mg / kg M1 can significantly reduce the heart and pneumonia organ indices in mice caused by LPS-induced cytokine storm, and has a significant anti-inflammatory effect on heart and lung damage caused by cytokine storm.
[0169] The effect of compound M1 on cytokine levels in an LPS-induced mouse cytokine storm model is shown in Figures 3A-3D.
[0170] As shown in Figures 3A-3D, in the LPS-induced mouse cytokine storm model, 48 cytokines were detected. Among them, 27 cytokines, including IFN-gamma, IL-1beta, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-4, IL-33, IL-10, IL-9, IL-5, GM-CSF, IL-27, IL-23, IFN-alpha, IL-15 / IL-15R, IL-31, IL-28, IL-1alpha, Rank1, ST2 (IL-33R), IL-7, IL-25, BTC, BAFF, Leptin, IL-7R, IL-2RA, and IL-3, were significantly lower in the 30 mg / kg M1 treatment group at 2h or 24h than in the model group. This group showed superior reduction in some cytokine levels compared to the positive control drug prednisolone acetate, indicating that the 30 mg / kg M1 treatment group... M1 exerted a significant inhibitory effect on inflammatory factors in an LPS-induced cytokine storm model, thereby alleviating cardiac and lung damage and playing a protective role, showing potential for the treatment of cytokine storms and infectious myocarditis.
