The present disclosure relates to a fused ring diimide derivative, a preparation method and use thereof, and is in the field of medicinal chemistry.
The diimide compound is an important class of substances in the field of medicinal chemistry with many pharmacological activities of interest.
When the diimide is fused with some fused rings, a unique planar structure with a greatly reduced molecular volume can be formed. In addition, the planar structure can be embedded between the base pairs of DNA double strands, resulting in unwinding of DNA double helix. Therefore, the diimide is of unique value in treating cell proliferative diseases, such as cancer. The fused rings fused with diimide can be various fused rings with conjugated unsaturated structures which can be carbocyclic or heterocyclic, such as naphthalene, anthracene and pyridocarbazole, etc. Many compounds with these structures have been reported to possess anti-tumor activities, but fewer of them have entered the clinical stage.
Amonafide is one of the representative compounds, in its molecular structure, the naphthalene ring is cycled with the diimide ring to form a planar structure. Amonafide has been reported to have cytotoxic activity against various cancers, such as colon cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer and leukemia, etc. Antisoma has advanced Amonafide to clinical phase III for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, but the development was ultimately terminated due to poor efficacy.
At present, other fused cyclic diimide compounds are still being investigated in the art for better potential active drugs, however, finding compounds with stronger activity than Amonafide remains difficult.

Objective: To test the anti-proliferative activity of the compound of the present disclosure against various tumor cells.
Test compounds: Compounds I-01, I-02, I-03, I-04, I-05, I-08, I-10, I-12, I-15, I-17, I-18 and I-20; positive drug: Amonafide; and comparative compounds: 1d and 1. The Compound 1d refers to “1d” described in Journal of Cancer Molecules (2010,5 (2): p 41-47) and the Compound 1 refers to “Compound 1” described in Journal of Experimental Therapeutics and Oncology (2005,5: p 15-22), both Compounds 1d and 1 were prepared according to the method in the literature. The positive drug Amonafide is commercially available.
Test cells: human colon cancer cells (HT-29, COLO 205), human lung cancer cells (NCI-H460, A549) and human leukemia cells (HL-60, U-937).
Test method: each tumor cell was tested separately. Cells were incubated in medium at 37 for 24 hours before use. The cells growing in an exponential growth phase were harvested and treated with trypsin to prepare a cell suspension, the cell suspension was centrifuged, then the cell pellet was resuspended in a small amount of fresh medium as a cell stock. The cell stock was diluted to required cell concentrations. The concentrations of each cell are as shown in Table 1:
The test was carried out on 96-well plates; blank control groups, cell control groups and compound treatment groups were set up. In the blank control groups, only 10% PBS was added to each well, while in the cell control groups and the compound treatment groups, 100 μL of cells at the above concentration were added to each well, and then each well was filled with 200 μL of 10% PBS. The plates were placed in an incubator overnight. In the compound treatment groups, 100 μL of each test compound at different dilution concentrations was added to each well, the dilution concentrations of the compounds are as shown in Table 2.
After the addition of the drug to each well was completed, the plates were cultured in an incubator for 96 hours, 22 μL of resazurin sodium solution (Alarm blue, SIGMA R7017) was added to each well. The plates were returned to the incubator for another 4 hours of incubation and then shaken for 10 seconds after being taken out. The fluorescence value of each well were recorded at 530/590 nm.
The above operations were repeated three times.
The IC50 value of each test compound was calculated by Prism7 software. IC50 was divided into different grades according to values, that is, SS: <1 μM; S: 1-5 μM; A: 5-10 μM; B: 11-20 μM; C: 21-50 μM; D: 51-100 μM; E: >100 μM. The main results are as shown in Table 3.
It can be seen from the test result that the anti-tumor activity of the compounds of the present disclosure is generally better than that of the positive drug Amonafide. As shown by the comparison between the compounds of the present disclosure and similar compounds, the overall inhibitory activity of the compounds of the present disclosure on tumor cells is significantly better than that of the Compound 1d and the Compound 1. Especially for colon cancer cells, the activity of some preferred compounds (such as Compounds 1-03 and 1-04) is 50 times more than that of similar compounds.
Both Compound 1d and Compound 1 are structurally modified compounds of Amonafide, they are obtained by modifying the alkylamino group on the right side of Amonafide, but their overall anti-tumor activity is inferior to that of Amonafide under the test condition of the present disclosure.
The difference in activity between the compounds of formula I of the present disclosure and Compound 1d as well as Compound 1 suggests that, in the modification of alkylamino group on the right side of Amonafide, it is very important for the improvement of activity to introduce a heteroatom (R1) and separate the heteroatom (R1) from the heteroatom (R2) connected to right-side carbonyl group with a carbon chain or a carbon ring.
Although the foregoing has been described the present disclosure in detail with the general description and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present disclosure, and these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure as claimed.
