The present invention relates to a compound inducing autophagic degradation of an intracellular molecule.
Autophagy is one of the mechanisms through which intracellular molecules are degraded in cells. This mechanism is found in eukaryotes between yeasts and humans Once autophagy is induced, membrane vesicles called autophagosomes are formed, and then the autophagosomes are fused with lysosomes so that the intracellular molecules taken up in the autophagosomes are degraded.
It is known that autophagy is induced in response to the starvation of cells. In addition, it has been getting revealed that autophagy is also involved in physiological functions such as development and differentiation, and defence mechanisms against infections such as clearance of viruses that have invaded cells.
Research has been conducted for various molecules (e.g., compounds) involved in the control of autophagic degradation of intracellular molecules. For example, Non Patent Document 1 suggests that when the following compound is added to cell cultures, the compound binds to a protein having cysteine, and the protein thus bound is taken into an autophagosome.
Non Patent Document 2 suggests that when the following compound is added to cells expressing halo-tagged EGFP protein, the EGFP protein is taken into an autophagosome and degraded.
The present invention provides the following compound and a medicament comprising the same.

The compound of the present invention was evaluated for its activity of inducing degradation of a target molecule in vitro by the following tests.
HeLa cells stably expressing EmGFP-HaloTag were inoculated to Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and cultured for 24 hours. Then, a test compound (specifically, compounds of Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 11, 13 to 15, 17 to 20, 24 to 27, 29, 32 to 33, 36 to 42, 44 to 46 and 56) was added thereto at the final concentration shown in Table 2, followed by incubation for 24 hours under conditions of 37° C./5% CO2. The cells were washed with PBS three times and treated with a cell lysis solution containing a proteolytic enzyme inhibitor to obtain a cell extract. The cell extract was subjected to SDS-PAGE. After the electrophoresis, GFP and actin were detected by Western blot. The ratio of the GFP/actin value of the drug-treated cells to the GFP/actin value of a control group in drug-untreated cells was regarded as an activity value. A value of 1 or less represents that degradation of EmGFP-HaloTag was promoted.
HeLa cells were inoculated to Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and cultured for 24 hours. Cells overexpressing EmGFP-HaloTag were obtained by transfection with a plasmid pCMV-EmGFP-HaloTag encoding EmGFP-HaloTag. On the next day, a test compound (specifically, compounds of Examples 8, 12, 16, 21 to 23, 28, 30 and 31) was added thereto at the final concentration shown in Table 2, followed by incubation for 24 hours under conditions of 37° C./5% CO2. The cells were washed with PBS three times and treated with a cell lysis solution containing a proteolytic enzyme inhibitor to obtain a cell extract. The cell extract was subjected to SDS-PAGE. After the electrophoresis, GFP and actin were detected by Western blot. The ratio of the GFP/actin value of the drug-treated cells to the GFP/actin value of a control group in drug-untreated cells was regarded as an activity value. A value of 1 or less represents that degradation of EmGFP-HaloTag was promoted.
HeLa cells were inoculated to Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and cultured for 24 hours. A test compound (specifically, compounds of Examples 47 to 52, 59 and 60) was added thereto at the final concentration shown in Table 2, followed by incubation for 24 hours under conditions of 37° C./5% CO2. The cells were washed with PBS three times and treated with a cell lysis solution containing a proteolytic enzyme inhibitor to obtain a cell extract. The cell extract was subjected to SDS-PAGE. After the electrophoresis, Brd4, FKBP12 or MetAP2 and actin were detected by Western blot. The ratio of the Brd4, FKBP12 or MetAP2/actin value of the drug-treated cells to the Brd4, FKBP12 or MetAP2/actin value of a control group in drug-untreated cells was regarded as an activity value. A value of 1 or less represents that degradation of Brd4, FKBP12 or MetAP2 was promoted.
A549 cells were inoculated to Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and cultured for 24 hours. A test compound (specifically, compounds of Examples 57 and 58) was added thereto at the final concentration shown in Table 2, followed by incubation for 24 hours under conditions of 37° C./5% CO2. The cells were washed with PBS three times and treated with a cell lysis solution containing a proteolytic enzyme inhibitor to obtain a cell extract. The cell extract was subjected to SDS-PAGE. After the electrophoresis, Brd4 and actin were detected by Western blot. The ratio of the Brd4/actin value of the drug-treated cells to the Brd4/actin value of a control group in drug-untreated cells was regarded as an activity value. A value of 1 or less represents that degradation of Brd4 was promoted.

Atg5−/− mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells or Atg5+/+ MEF cells were inoculated to Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and cultured for 24 hours. Cells overexpressing EmGFP-HaloTag were obtained by transfection with a plasmid pCMV-EmGFP-HaloTag (SEQ ID NO: 1) encoding EmGFP-HaloTag. On the next day, the compound of Example 56 was added thereto at a final concentration of 10 μM, followed by incubation for 24 hours under conditions of 37° C./5% CO2. The cells were washed with PBS three times and treated with a cell lysis solution containing a proteolytic enzyme inhibitor to obtain a cell extract. The cell extract was subjected to SDS-PAGE. After the electrophoresis, GFP and actin were detected by Western blot. The ratio of the GFP/actin value of the drug-treated cells to the GFP/actin value of a control group in drug-untreated cells was regarded as an activity value. A value of 1 or less represents that degradation of EmGFP-HaloTag was promoted.
The results of Test Example 5 demonstrated that the degradation of a target molecule induced by compound (I) is mediated by autophagy.
