The present invention relates to an N1-cyclic amine-N5-substituted biguanide derivative that inhibits cancer cell proliferation, cancer metastasis and cancer recurrence by activation of AMPK, even when administered in a small dose compared with conventional drugs, and that exhibits excellent therapeutic effects, a method of preparing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition including the N1-cyclic amine-N5-substituted biguanide derivative as an active ingredient.
AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinases) is an enzyme that functions to regulate a metabolic pathway so as to maintain balance between supply of nutrients and demand for energy, and thus maintain energy homeostasis in cells and the whole body. AMPK is activated as a ratio of AMP/ATP in the cells increases due to a hypoxemic state or glucose deficiency. The activated AMPK induces fatty acid oxidation to produce a larger amount of ATP and inhibits anabolisms requiring the use of ATP. AMPK inhibits proliferation of cancer cells and kills the cancer cells by regulating energy metabolism in the cancer cells as well as in normal cells. AMPK activated in the cancer cells shows anticancer activities by phosphorylating mTORC1, p53, fatty acid synthase and the like to regulate the cell cycle, cell polarity, autophagy, apoptosis, etc.
Metformin has been used to treat insulin-independent diabetes mellitus (i.e., type II diabetes mellitus) since, among oral therapeutic agents for treating diabetes mellitus, it is most effective at lowering blood glucose, does not cause hypoglycemia or hyperinsulinemia and can prevent complications. In recent years, metformin has been extensively researched. Also, it was reported that metformin activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) by inhibiting the action of complex 1 of the electron transport system in mitochondria to obstruct intracellular generation of energy, and inhibits activation of the mTOR/S6K1 signaling pathway in which proteins essential for survival are produced to obstruct proliferation of cancer cells and tumor growth (Mol. Cancer Ther. 9(5): 1092-1099 (2010)). Consequently, metformin has received considerable attention as an anticancer agent for regulating cancer cell metabolism. Also, an epidemiological survey confirmed that the incidence of cancer and mortality by cancer were lower for patients treated with metformin (BMJ. 330: 1304-1305 (2005)).
Meanwhile, there is increasing clinical evidence indicating that cancer stem cells take part in recurrence and metastasis of cancer. The cancer stem cells refer to cancer cells that have self-regeneration or differentiation activities which are characteristically innate to stem cells. The cancer stem cells are present in the cancer tissues at a content of 0.2% or less, and are characterized by their slow proliferation. Since many anticancer agents developed so far target cancer cells that proliferate rapidly, the cancer stem cells are resistant to conventional anticancer therapy when cancer stem cells are treated with the anticancer agents, thereby causing poor prognoses. On the other hand, it was reported that metformin prevents the recurrence of cancer as it selectively acts only on cancer stem cells among breast cancer cells and removes the cancer stem cells (Cancer Res. 69(19): 7507-11 (2009)). Also, it was found that metformin prevents the metastasis of cancer by interfering with the motility and invasion of the cancer since it inhibits the expression of Snail1, Slug, Twist, ZEB ½ and TGF-b, which are transcription factors associated with the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and promotes the expression of E-cadherin to prevent cancer cells from leading to the EMT (Cell Cycle 10: 7, 1144-1151 (2011), Cell Cycle 9: 18, 3807-3814 (2010), Cell Cycle 9: 22, 4461-4468 (2010)).
For these reasons, there is need for a biguanide-based substance that exhibits better pharmacological action than conventional metformin and has improved physiochemical properties.

Concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.9 mL, 0.010 mol) was added to a butanol (10 mL) solution containing 3-methylpiperidine (1.00 g, 0.010 mol), and stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes. Sodium dicyanamide (0.99 g, 0.011 mol) was added to the mixed solution, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 24 hours under reflux.
After completion of the reaction was confirmed, sodium chloride formed by filtering the reaction mixture was removed, and the filtrate was then concentrated at a reduced pressure. Ethyl acetate (10 mL) was then added to the concentrate, and stirred at room temperature for an hour. The formed solid was filtered, and the filtrate was washed with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL). The filtrate was dried at a reduced pressure to obtain a white solid target compound (1.34 g, 80.0%).

The compounds synthesized by the methods described in the examples of the present invention were evaluated for effects of AMPK activation and inhibition of cancer cell proliferation according to methods described in the following Experimental Examples.
MCF7 cells derived from human breast cancer cells (purchased from the Korean Cell Line Bank (KCLB)) were used, and AMPK activation effects of the biguanide derivatives were confirmed using an AMPK [pT172] ELISA kit (Invitrogen, Catalog No. KHO0651).
MCF7 cells were cultured in a DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fatal bovine serum (commercially available from Gibco Life Technologies (US)). Thereafter, the cultured MCF7 cells were put into a 6-well plate with approximately 5×105 cells per well, and cultured in an incubator supplied with 5% CO2. Culture media were treated with the derivatives synthesized in the Examples at concentrations of 5, 10 and 50 u M, and then cultured for 24 hours. Metformin was used as the control, and the culture media were treated with 0.05, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 10 mM metformin and then tested in the same manner as described for the derivatives synthesized in the Examples. Subsequently, the cells were lysed according to a method presented in the operation manual of the AMPK [pT172] ELISA kit, and 20 μg of a cell lysate was then yielded through protein assay. Thereafter, the AMPK activation effect was obtained by determining a degree of phosphorylation of a 172nd threonine residue (Thr172) of the AMPKα from the cell lysate according to the method presented in the operation manual of the AMPK [pT172] ELISA kit. A degree of AMPK activation by the biguanide derivatives was exhibited as a degree of AMPKα phosphorylation in cells cultured in the presence of the compounds synthesized in the Examples with respect to a degree of AMPKα phosphorylation in cells cultured without treatment with the biguanide derivatives. A curve graph showing AMPK activation according to the concentration of the treated compounds was plotted based on the obtained AMPK activation results, and a concentration (activation concentration 150, AC150) value of a compound whose AMPK activation reached 150% was calculated using a GraphPad Prism 5.0 program. Similarly, degrees of AMPK activation when the concentrations of the treated biguanide derivatives of Examples 4 to 61 were 10 μM and 50 μM are listed in the following Table 1, and degrees of AMPK activation when the concentrations of the treated biguanide derivatives of Examples 65 to 98 were 5 μM to 10 μM are listed in the following Table 2. Some of the compounds were not measurable for AMPK activation due to cytotoxicity when the concentrations of the treated compounds were 50 μM.
HCT116 cells derived from human colorectal cancer were used, and an effect of inhibiting cancer cell proliferation of the biguanide derivative was confirmed by measuring a concentration value (cell growth inhibition concentration, GIC50) at which cell growth was inhibited by 50% using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reagent.
First, HCT116 cells (purchased from the KCLB) were put on a 96-well plate and cultured in a DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fatal bovine serum (commercially available from Gibco Life Technologies (US)) for 16 hours so that approximately 5,000 cells were counted in each well. Subsequently, to obtain the GIC50 value of each compound, the culture media were treated with 100 μM, 25 μM, 6.25 μM, 1.56 μM or 0.39 μM of the compound, and then cultured for 48 hours. In order to determine whether the cells survived after treatment with the compounds, MTT (commercially available from AMRESCO (US)) was added to the culture media which were then cultured for another 3 hours. Formed formazane crystals were dissolved using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the absorbance of the resulting solution was measured at 560 nm. After the 48-hour culture, a ratio of a living cell count on a well plate treated with the compounds synthesized in the Examples to a cell count cultured on a well plate not treated with the compound was indicated as cell viability (%) according to the concentration of each treated compound. The cell viability (%) was used to plot a cell viability curve graph and calculate a concentration (GIC50) value of the compound at which the growth was inhibited by 50%, thereby confirming the inhibition effect of cancer cell proliferation. Also, the cell growth inhibitions (%) when the concentration of the treated biguanide derivative and metformin as the control was 100 μM (Examples 4 to 61) is listed in the following Table 3, and the cell growth inhibitions (%) when the concentration of the treated biguanide derivative and metformin as the control was 25 μM (Examples 65 to 98) are listed in the following Table 4.
