Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, and specifically relates to a class of histone acetylase p300 inhibitors, as well as the preparation and the use thereof.


BACKGROUND ART

Post-translational modifications of histones, such as acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, ADP-ribosylation, ubiquitination, etc., play an important role in the physiological and pathological processes of eukaryotic organisms. Among them, the acetylation modification of histones has received more and more attention in the research field of life science. The acetylation modification of histones has important biological functions in gene transcription regulation, cell differentiation, cell proliferation, cell cycle regulation, cell apoptosis, and the same. The acetylation modification of histones is accomplished by histone acetyltransferase (HAT, also known as histone acetylase). Histone acetyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of acetyl from Acetyl-CoA to the specific lysine epsilon-N. So far, the structures of many histone acetyltransferases have been determined and published. According to the sequence conservation and the distribution position, it can be divided into at least six large families: Gen5/PCAF family, MYST family, p300/CBP family, nuclear receptor co-activator family, TAFII250 family and TFIIC family, etc. The acetylation status of lysines at specific sites of histones is regulated and maintained by histone acetylase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC). The acetylation state of histones directly regulates the interaction between histone and DNA, thereby regulating the interaction between related enzymes in the process of DNA replication, transcription, repair and recombination and DNA. If the balance between both of them is disrupted, the acetylation state of histones regulated by the enzyme will be abnormal, which will seriously affect the life activities of the body and cause diseases such as malignant tumors, heart disease, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders and so on.


Currently, in the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) family, p300 has become a research hotspot. Studies have shown that histone acetyltransferase p300 plays an important role in the occurrence of tumors. The expression of p300 gene is increased in some tumor cells, and the proliferation of tumor cells will be inhibited after the p300 gene is knocked out.


At present, there are more studies aiming at HDAC inhibitors, and even certain inhibitors are marketed as anti-cancer drugs. However, compared with HDAC, there are few studies on HAT inhibitors, especially drug-like inhibitors with high affinity and high selectivity have not yet been reported. As one of the two important antagonistic targets for balancing the in vivo acetylation level, the biological significance and research status of HAT provide us with a valuable opportunity to study new cancer treatment targets and develop novel drugs.


Due to the special biological function of p300/CBP, the research on HAT mainly focuses on the inhibitors of histone acetylase p300. Therefore, the development of a histone acetylase p300 inhibitor with high affinity and high selectivity is of great significance for the treatment of cancer.

Experimental Example 1 Detecting the Inhibitory Activity of Compounds on Histone Acetylase p300
1. Experimental Method

Using the radioisotope FlashPlate technology, the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the compound according to the present invention was detected against histone acetylase p300 (purchased from BPS). The test compounds were gradiently diluted to provide 10 concentrations for detection (single well), and the known histone acetylase p300 inhibitor compound C646 (CAS: 328968-36-1, purchased from Calbiochem) was used as a positive control. Under the catalysis of histone acetylase p300, [3H]—Ac group in the isotope-labeled [3H]-Ac-CoA was transferred to the biotinylated histone polypeptide substrate (purchased from GL Biochem Ltd.), and then the biotinylated histone peptide substrate bound to the streptavidin on the FlashPlate board, so that the isotope was close enough to the FlashPlate board. Thus, the radiation energy of isotope could convert the scintillation fluid coated on the FlashPlate board into photons, that was able to be detected. Detailed procedures were as follows:


(1) Preparation of Solutions
1) Preparation of Reaction Buffer and Stop Solution





    • 1× reaction buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5; 0.01% Tween-20

    • Reaction stop solution: 750 μM Ac-CoA solution





(2) Preparation of Compound Solution
1) Preparation of Compound Solution

Each test compound was dissolved into 10 mM with 100% DMSO, and then each compound was diluted to the desired concentration in Echo 384-well plate. Echo550 instrument was used to transfer 200 nl compound diluted gradiently from Echo384-well plate to 384-well reaction plate, with compound C646 as a positive control. 200 nl of 100% DMSO was transferred into the well as the negative control.


2) Preparation of 2× Enzyme Solution

p300 was added to 1× reaction buffer to form a 2× enzyme solution (the final concentration of enzyme being 0.2 nM).


3) Preparation of 2× Substrate Solution

The peptide substrate and [3H]-Ac-CoA were added to the 1-fold reaction buffer, to form a 2-fold substrate solution (the final concentration of the substrate being 600 nM and 250 nM, respectively).


(2) Experimental Procedures
1) Adding Enzyme Solution to 384-Well Plate

10 μl of 2-fold enzyme solution was added to the wells of 384-well reaction plate. For control wells without enzyme activity, the enzyme solution was replaced with 10 μl of 1-fold reaction buffer. The plate was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 min and incubated at room temperature for 15 min.


2) Adding the Substrate Solution to 384-Well Plate to Start the Enzymatic Reaction

10 μl of 2-fold substrate solution was added to each well of 384-well reaction plate. The plate was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 min, and then reacted at 25° C. for 60 min.


3) Termination of Enzymatic Reaction

10 μl of reaction stop solution was added to each well of 384-well reaction plate to stop the reaction. 25 μL solution was collected from each well of the test plate and transferred to Flashplate, that was placed at room temperature for 1 h. Then, Flashplate plate was washed three times with 0.1% Tween-20 solution.


4) Reading Data with MicroBeta 2


5) Calculating the Inhibition Rate

The data were copied from Microbeta 2. According to the formula: the inhibition rate (%)=(the maximum value−the sample value)/(the maximum value−the minimum value)×100%), the inhibition rate was calculated. The maximum value is the conversion rate of the control DMSO, and the minimum value is the conversion rate of the control without enzyme activity.


The data were imported into Graph Pad Prism5, and the formula “log(inhibitor) vs. response−Variable slope” was used to perform curve fitting, to obtain the half inhibitory concentration (IC50).
