The present invention relates to the field of small molecule drugs, and specifically, the present invention provides a small molecule compound that can be used to treat diseases related to PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway.
The immune system plays a vital role in controlling and curing many diseases, such as various cancers, diseases caused by viruses, etc. But the cancer cells can evade or inhibit the immune system in some way to proliferate rapidly. One way is to alter the activator molecules and inhibitory molecules expressed on immune cells. Blocking inhibitory immune checkpoints, such as PD-1, has been proven to be a very effective approach to suppressing cancer cells.
PD-1 is programmed cell death protein-1, also known as CD279. It is mainly expressed in activated T cells and B cells, and its function is to inhibit the activation of cells, which is a normal homeostatic mechanism of the immune system, because excessive T/B cell activation may cause autoimmune diseases, PD-1 is a protective wall of our body. PD-1 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein composed of 268 amino acids, and its structure mainly includes the outer immunoglobulin variable domain, the hydrophobic transmembrane domain and the intracellular domain. The intracellular domain contains two phosphorylation sites, and they are located in the immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibitory motif and the immunoreceptor tyrosine switching motif, respectively, which also proves that PD-1 can negatively regulate T cell receptor-mediated signal. PD-1 has two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, which differ in expression way. PD-L1 is up-regulated in a variety of tumor cells, and it binds to PD-1 on T cells, inhibits T cell proliferation and activation, makes T cells in a state of inactivation, and ultimately induces immune escape.
PD-1/PD-L1 plays an inverse immunomodulatory role. When PD-1 binds to PD-L1, it can cause tyrosine polyphosphorylation in the immunoreceptor tyrosine switch motif domain of T cells, and the phosphorylated tyrosine can bind to the phosphatase protein tyrosinase 2 and protein tyrosinase 1, which can impede the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and also block the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and serine-threonine protein kinase (Akt), thereby inhibiting T lymphocyte proliferation and the secretion of related cytokines. The PD-1/PD-L1 signal inhibits the activation and proliferation of T cells, and at the same time, it can also induce the secretion of cytokines interleukin 2, interferon γ and IL-10. In addition, PD-1/PD-L1 signaling also has a similar immune function on B cells. After PD-1 binds to B cell antigen receptors, the PD-1 cytoplasmic domain interacts with tyrosinase containing a protein tyrosinase 2 binding site, thereby hindering B cell activation.
The immunotherapy based on PD-1/PD-L1 is a new generation of immunotherapy that has attracted much attention. In recent years, a series of surprising findings have confirmed that PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have strong antitumor activity against a variety of tumors. Currently available PD-1/PD-L1 antibody inhibitors include BMS's Ninolumab, Merck's Lambrolizumab and Roche's Atezolizumab. In addition, there are many PD-1/PD-L1 antibody modulators in development, including CureTech's Pidilizumab, GSK's AMP-224 and AstraZeneca's MEDI-4736.
Although tumor immunotherapy is considered to be a new generation of revolution in cancer treatment after targeted therapy, the PD-1 monoclonal antibodies currently on the market and under development have their own shortcomings. They can only be administered by injection and cannot be taken orally. They are unstable in the body, are easily decomposed by proteases, and are prone to immune cross-reaction. Moreover, it is difficult to purify and the production cost is high. Therefore, small molecule modulator of PD-1/PD-L1 interaction is a better option for tumor immunotherapy.
In summary, there is an urgent need in the art to develop novel small-molecule modulator of PD-1/PD-L1 interaction.
The object of the present invention is to provide a novel small-molecule modulator of PD-1/PD-L1 interaction.
