Description

This application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 202010299076.4 titled “novel series of immune agonists”, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Apr. 15, 2020, and Chinese Patent Application No. 202010595158.3 titled “novel series of immune agonists”, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Jun. 24, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to a series of novel small molecule immune agonists for a Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and use thereof, and relates to the interdisciplinary field of medicinal chemistry and immunology.


BACKGROUND

Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) belongs to a natural immune system of animals and plays an important role in the defense and treatment of microbial infections and tumor treatment1,2.


TLR7 can be activated by synthetic small chemical molecules as ligands, and at the same time induce immune cells to produce immune cell factors IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and the like. Representative small molecule agonists for TLR7 include: Imiquimod (https://www.drugs.com/cdi/imiquimod-cream-aldara.html, FDA approved for clinical antiviral and cancer treatment), and Resiquimod (R848) (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Resiquimod, for applied researches on various innate immunity).


The main side effect of TLR7 agonists is the potential toxicity associated with systemic medication. Excessively active TLR7 agonists may trigger a fatal and severe cytokine storm, which therefore limits their clinical applicability; while the weakly active TLR7 agonist is unable to achieve the required immunotherapy effect. In order to overcome such a defect, it is necessary to develop novel TLR7 agonists to achieve normal immune activation and targeted immune activation.


In the present application, based on the discovery of an alkynyl derivative of purine as a TLR7 agonist, a series of novel TLR7 agonists are synthesized, some of which have incorporated with targeting effects to achieve local immune activation, such as tumor localization microenvironment, and at the same time has the effect of inhibiting tumor cells, as well as protecting and amplifying immune cells.


Technical Problems

It is one of the objectives of embodiments of the present application to provide a series of novel immune agonists, aiming to provide a series of novel small molecule immune agonists for a Toll-like receptor 7, the use thereof in activating and amplifying immune cells and lymphocytes, in preparing immunomodulatory drugs, small molecule immune anti-tumor drugs, and macromolecular immune anti-tumor drugs.

Beneficial Effects

In the present application, a potent TLR7 agonist, that is, an alkynyl derivative of purine GY100, is accidentally discovered. Based on this discovery, a series of immune agonists containing a five-membered heterocycle having three nitrogens are synthesized. Through further exploration and optimization, a series of novel immune agonists are obtained. These novel immune agonists not only have good immune activation effects, but also can be coupled with other targeted compounds and drugs to produce a new generation of dual-function immune targeted agonists. On the basis of maintaining or strengthening the original targeting effect, this series of novel immune agonists are also incorporated with immune activation effect, and can amplify the number of immune cells as well. These series of novel multifunctional immune targeted compounds are directed to new directions for immunotargeted drugs. It has been known that the major side effect of many classic anticancer drugs or the targeted drugs is immunosuppression, and viral infections reduce lymphocytes. The multifunctional immune targeted compounds of the present application have the above-mentioned beneficial effects, and have important values in anti-tumor and anti-viral aspects.

HEK-Blue™ hTLR7 cells (purchased from InvivoGen) in a logarithmic growth phase were taken, with a growth medium (Gibco, C11995500BT, Invivo Gen, ant-nr) discarded. The cells were gently rinsed twice by an appropriate amount of 37° C. PBS (Hyclone, SH30256.01), a rinsed PBS was discarded. Thereafter, the cells were added with 2-5 mL of 37° C. PBS, incubated for 1 to 2 minutes, and then scraped by a cell scraper and gently pipetted to be dispersed into a single cell suspension. A hemocytometer was adopted to count the cells and a cell concentration was calculated. After that, a HEK-Blue™ Detection solution (purchased from Invivo Gen) was adopted to adjust the cell concentration of the cell suspension to 2.5×104/180 μL per well for cell plating on a 96-well cell culture plate. The HEK-Blue™ hTLR7 cells were stimulated according to the designed series of GY compound or drug concentrations (0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, 1 μM, 5 μM, 15 μM, and 30 μM), with 3 replicate wells for each concentration, and were incubated at 37° C., 5% carbon dioxide for 6-16 hrs. After the incubation, the absorbance value was read at 650 nm with a full-wavelength microplate reader (BioTek-Epoch), as listed in Table 2.

Example 3 Detection of Growth Inhibitory Effect or Amplification Effect of a Series of GY Compounds or Drugs on Cells by CCK8 Method

Murine breast cancer 4T1 cells (Kailian Biotech, KG338) in a logarithmic growth phase were selected and washed with PBS, digested with 0.25% trypsin (including EDTA), stopped digestion with a DMEM complete medium, then centrifuged, and resuspended to form a suspension of 4T1 single cells. Cells were counted using a hemocytometer and a cell concentration was calculated. A DMEM complete medium was used to adjust the cell suspension to a target concentration, and thereafter, the cells were plated on a 96-well cell culture plate according to 4×103/100 μl, per well. After adherering to the wall, the 4T1 cells were stimulated according to the designed concentration gradients of the series of GY compounds or drugs, with each concentration being provided with 3 replicate holes. The 96-well cell culture plate with 4T1 cells seeded and dosing was placed in the cell incubator, and incubated at 37° C., 5% carbon dioxide for 24 hrs (or 36, 72 hrs). After the incubation time was over, 10 μL of CCK8 reagent was added to each well and incubated for 1-2 hrs at 37° C. A full-wavelength microplate reader was adopted to test an OD value at 450 nm wavelength.

The series of GY compounds in the present application coupled with the targeted drug have the dual-functional effect of immune activation and targeted inhibition of specific targets. On the basis of inducing immune cells to produce immune cell factors, such series of GY compounds have different growth inhibition effects for different tumor cells.


The series of GY compounds in the present application coupled with the targeted drug has the effect of amplifying immune cells.


The multifunctional immune targeted compound formed by the immune agonist coupled with the targeted drug described in the present application has both the effect of activating immune cells and the effect of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. For the coupling product of the same original drug, although the coupling site completely maintains the functional group and structure of the original drug, the inhibitory function of cancer cells is maintained or changed. The level of effect on the same or different cells under standard experimental conditions (such as the CCK8 method) has unexpected effects.


For example, for the derivative coupled with Ibrutinib, a series of GY conjugate and a series of SZU conjugate produced significantly different unexpected effects in K562 cells and leukemia WEHI-3 cells.


The compounds involved in the present application also have unexpected effects on immune cells activation. For example, based on the same immune agonist GY109 as a precursor agonist, the resulting conjugates GY132, GY137, GY131 and GY133 all show different immune activation effects. These effects vary according to different coupling compounds. Although the rules are worthy of in-depth mechanism research, the present application provides a practical technique and example for creating such characteristic compounds.


In summary, in the present application, a potent TLR7 agonist, that is, an alkynyl derivative of purine GY100, is accidentally discovered. Based on this discovery, a series of immune agonists containing a five-membered heterocycle having three nitrogens are synthesized. Through further exploration and optimization, a series of novel immune agonists are obtained. These novel immune agonists not only have good immune activation effects, but also can be coupled with other targeted compounds and drugs to produce a new generation of dual-function immune targeted agonists. On the basis of maintaining or strengthening the original targeting effect, this series of novel immune agonists are also incorporated with immune activation effect, and can amplify the number of immune cells as well. These series of novel multifunctional immune targeted compounds are directed to new directions for immunotargeted drugs. It has been known that the major side effect of many classic anticancer drugs or the targeted drugs is immunosuppression, and viral infections reduce lymphocytes. The multifunctional immune targeted compounds of the present application have the above-mentioned beneficial effects, and have important values in anti-tumor and anti-viral aspects.
