Stability Test for Crystal Type A in Different Solvents
A certain number of aliquots of 50 mg of Crystal type A were weighed out, and added with 0.3 to 0.4 mL single or mixed solvent as listed below respectively, and the mixture was stirred at 25° C. After being stirred for 3 days, the samples were centrifuged and the solid in all samples were collected. XRPD was used to determine the crystalline state. The results were shown in Table 2.
Solid Stability Test for Crystal Type A Under the Conditions of High Temperature, High Humidity and Strong Illumination
A sample of Crystal type A (about 10 mg) was weighed out, placed at the bottom of a glass vial and spread into a thin layer. The sample placed at 60° C. and 92.5% relative humidity was sealed with aluminum foil at the vial mouth, and the aluminum foil was pricked to ensure that the sample was fully exposed to the ambient air; the sample placed under strong illumination (5Klux) was sealed with a screw cap. The samples placed under different conditions were sampled and tested on the 10th day. The test results were compared with the initial test results on the 0th day. The test results are shown in the following Table 3:
Evaluation of In Vitro Activity
Cell PARylation Analysis
HCC1937 cells were seeded into a 965-well plate at 4×104 cells/well and cultured in a 37° C. incubator overnight. After the cells were treated with the test compound for 30 minutes, they were treated with 1 mM hydrogen peroxide for 10 minutes. Cells were washed twice with 200 UL of precooled PBS and fixed with 100 ul of precooled methanol/acetone (7:3) for 30 minutes in an ice bath. After being air-dried, they were blocked with PBS-Tween-20 blocking solution (0.05%) with 5% nonfat dry milk dissolved at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cells and anti-PAR 10H antibody in a ratio of 1:100 were incubated in a blocking solution at room temperature for 1 hour and then washed with PBS-Tween-20 for three times, and added into a blocking solution containing goat anti-mouse fluorescein-5 (6) thiocyanate (FITC)-based secondary antibody and 1 μg/mL DAPI to be incubated at room temperature in the dark for 1 hour. After being washed with PBS-Tween-20 for three times, the data was analyzed using a fluorescent microplate counter (Flexstation III, Molecular Device). PARP enzyme assay (according to the instruction of HT universal PARP1 colorimetric assay kit). Histones were packaged in a 96-well plate and incubated overnight at 4° C. After being washed with 200 UL PBST solution for three times, the plate was blocked with blocking solution, incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature and washed with PBST solution for three times. The compounds to be tested were added to the well plate and then 20 ml of diluted PARP1 (1 nM) or 20 ml of PARP2 (3 nM) was added to the reaction system and incubated for 1 or 2 hours. A mixed of streptavidin-HRP (1:50) (50 μl) was added to the well plate and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes, and washed with the PBST buffer for three times. 100 ml (HRP) (Chemiluminescent Substrate A and Substrate B (1:1)) was added to the well plate. Read immediately onto a microplate reader (Envision, PerkinElmer).
Anti-Proliferation Test
MDA-MB-436 and MDA-MB-231 cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at a density of 500 and 2000 cell per well, respectively, and cultured overnight. The medium was RPMI 1640 containing 10% (v/v) FBS and 1% (v/v) penicillin-streptomycin. They were treated for 8 days after the compound to be tested was added. Cell viability was measured by CCK8 kit. Specifically, 10 UL CCK8 reagent was added to each well and incubated in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37° C. for 3 hours. After shaking for 10 minutes, the light absorbance (OD value) was measured with a Flexstation III (Molecular Device) at 450 nm.
For the test of compound combinations (in combination with DNA damage drugs), the PF50 value was used to calculate the synergistic effect of the drug. PF50=[IC50 of the tested compound]/[IC50 of the compound at a fixed DNA damage drug concentration]. Temozolomide (TMZ) was used as DNA damage drug in this study.
IC50 data of inhibition of MDA-MB-231/436 cell proliferation by Compound 1 and ABT888 when used singly and synergistically with TMZ are shown in Table 4 below:
In vitro screening test results of the compounds of the present invention
Compound 1 shows a strong inhibitory effect on BRAC mutant MDA-MB-436 cell line and shows good synergistic effect combined with TMZ.
