TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a salt form of a tricyclic tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative, a preparation method therefor, and medical use thereof, and belongs to the field of pharmacy.


BACKGROUND

Fulvestrant in CSCO guidelines for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment (2020 edition) was adjusted to be a class I recommendation to treat endocrine therapy-naive hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer patients, and fulvestrant+CDK4/6 inhibitor was added as a class II recommendation; in addition, a combination of fulvestrant and the CDK4/6 inhibitor has become a class I recommendation for patients after nonsteroidal AI (NSAI) and steroidal AI (SAI) treatment failures. As the only approved SERD at present, fulvestrant was approved as an injection, which is inconvenient for patients to take. Therefore, the search for a new and more effective SERD not only has great market value, but also brings medication selectivity and convenience for breast cancer patients. SAI439859 from Sanofi is currently in clinical phase III as a new generation of orally available SERD inhibitors; in addition, GDC-9545 from Roche, AZD-9833 from Astrazeneca, and RAD1901 from Radius have all been subjected to phase III. Disclosed patent applications regarding selective estrogen receptor-mediated modulators include WO2014165723, WO2014151899, WO2014141292, WO2014191726, WO2015092634, WO2014135834, WO2014106848, and EP1113007.


PCT application No. WO2021139756A discloses a tricyclic tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative of formula (I) used for a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), which is necessary for the research on a salt and a crystal form thereof in order to meet the requirement of medication,

1. Objective

The objective of this experiment was to determine the inhibitory activity of the compound of the present disclosure on the proliferation of ERα mutant-expressing MCF7 cells.


2. Method
Site-Directed Mutagenesis and Cell Line Construction

The mutant estrogen receptor α (ERα) Y537S of human ERα protein was obtained by site-directed mutagenesis in a two-primer PCR manner using the cDNA of wild-type ESR1 gene (Accession No. NM000125) as a template. The sequences of the primers used in the mutation are as follows (the underlined nucleotides are the sites of mutation): Y537S: F-AAG AAC GTG GTG CCC CTC TCT GAC CTG CTG CTG GAG ATG (SEQ ID NO: 1); R-CAT CTC CAG CAG CAG GTC AGA GAG GGG CAC CAC GTT CTT (SEQ ID NO: 2). The cDNA of the mutant ESR1 was cloned into the lentiviral vector of interest pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-Puro. The lentiviral plasmid bearing the mutant ESR1 gene sequence and the lentiviral packaging plasmid were then transfected into HEK-293T cells (ATCC, CRL-3216) by using Lipofectamine 3000 Transfection Reagent (ThermoFisher Scientific, Cat #L3000075). Forty-eight hours after transfection, the virus-bearing medium supernatant was filtered and ultracentrifuged to obtain a virus precipitate, which was then resuspended in an appropriate amount of medium. The suspension was added to MCF7 cells (ATCC, HTB-22), followed by the addition of polybrene at a final concentration of 8 μg/mL. The mixture was incubated overnight. Two days after transfection, 1 μg/mL puromycin was added to the cell culture liquid for resistance screening. About two weeks later, an MCF7 cell line capable of stably expressing the ERαY537S mutant was obtained.


Cell Proliferation Inhibition Assay

The ERα mutant-expressing MCF7 cells were cultured in an MEM (GE Healthcare, SH30024.01) complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. On the first day of the experiment, the cells were seeded into a 96-well plate with a complete medium at a density of 3,000 cells/well to form 100 μL of cell suspension per well. The plate was incubated overnight in a cell incubator at 37° C. with 5% CO2. The next day, the medium was removed, and 135 μL of an MEM incomplete medium containing 2% fetal bovine serum, and 15 μL of a test compound prepared at different concentrations with the incomplete medium were added to each well. The final concentration of the compound was 9 concentration points obtained by 4-fold serial dilution from 100 nM. A blank control containing 0.5% DMSO was set. The plate was incubated in a cell incubator at 37° C. with 5% CO2 for 144 h. On day 8, the 96-well cell culture plate was taken out. 150 μL of CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega, G7573) was added to each well. The plate was let stand at room temperature for 10 min, and the luminescence signal value was read using a multilabel microplate reader (PerkinElmer, VICTOR 3). The IC50 value for the inhibitory activity of the compound was calculated according to the compound concentration and the luminescence signal value and is shown in Table 3.

On the first day of the experiment, after being digested, the cells were washed once with a phenol red-free DMEM/F12 medium (ThermoFisher, 11039-021) containing 5% charcoal stripped fetal bovine serum (BIOSUN, BS-0004-500), then resuspended, and counted, and the cell density was adjusted to 1.79×105 cells/mL. 280 μL of the cell suspension was added to each well of a 48-well plate (Corning, 3548), and the cells were cultured overnight in an incubator at 37° C. with 5% CO2. The next day, the compound was serially diluted with DMSO and further diluted with a phenol red-free DMEM/F12 medium containing 5% charcoal stripped fetal bovine serum. 20 L of a diluted compound was added to each well of the 48-well plate at final concentrations of 3000, 300, 30, 3, 0.3, 0.03 and 0.003 nM. The 48-well plate was placed in the incubator for 16 to 18 h. A 96-well plate was coated with the capture antibody from the human ERα/NR3A1 total protein assay kit (R&D, DYC5715-5). 1 μg/mL capture antibody was prepared in PBS, and 100 L of the antibody was added to each well of the 96-well plate (Corning, 3590). The plate was placed in an incubator at 26° C. overnight. On day 3, the antibody-coated 96-well plate was washed once with PBS, and 200 μL of PBS containing 1% BSA was added to each well. The plate was incubated in an incubator at 37° C. for 1.5 h to be blocked. The cell culture medium supernatant was discarded. The cells were washed once with PBS, and a cell lysis buffer was added at 60 μL/well. The cell lysis buffer was PBS containing 6 M urea, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% TritonX-100, 1 mM PMSF and a protease inhibitor (Roche, 04693159001). The cells were lysed on ice for 15 min, and 300 μL of PBS containing 1 mM EDTA and 0.5% TritonX-100 was added to each well to dilute the urea to 1 M. The blocking solution in the blocked 96-well plate was discarded, and the diluted cell lysis buffer was added at 100 μL/well. The plate was incubated in a 37° C. incubator for 2 h and washed five times with PBS. A biotinylated assay antibody was diluted to 0.4 μg/mL with PBS containing 1% BSA, and then 100 μL of the assay antibody was added to each well. The plate was incubated in an incubator at 37° C. for 1 h. The plate was then washed five more times, and 100 μL of avidin-HRP diluted 200-fold with PBS containing 1% BSA was added to each well. The plate was incubated at 37° C. for 30 min. Then the plate was washed five more times, and the TMB substrate was added at 100 μL/well. The plate was incubated at room temperature until the color blue appeared, and a stop solution was added at 100 μL/well. OD450 signal readings were taken on a PHERAstar multi-mode microplate reader. The IC50 value for the inhibitory activity of the compound was calculated using Graphpad Prism software. The maximum degradation rate of the compound is the ratio of the level of ERα remaining in the cells after the cells were treated with 3000 nM compound to the level of ERα remaining in cells after the cells were treated with 3000 nM fulvestrant.

2.2. Procedures of Automated Patch Clamp

Stably-expressed HEK293-hERG cell strains were subcultured at a density of 1:4 in an MEM/EBSS medium (10% FBS, 400 μg/mL G418, 1% MEM non-essential amino acid solution (100×), and 1% sodium pyruvate solution) and subjected to an automated patch clamp experiment within 48-72 h after the start of the culture. On the day of the experiment, the cells were digested with 0.25% pancreatin, then centrifuged, collected, and resuspended in an extracellular fluid (140 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CaCl2, 5 mM D-glucose monohydrate, 10 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 298 mOsm) to form a cell suspension. The cell suspension was placed on the cell bank of the Patchliner instrument that transferred the cells to the chip (NPC-16) using a negative pressure controller. The negative pressure drew individual cells to the wells of the chip. When a whole-cell model was formed, the instrument generated hERG currents according to the setting of hERG current voltage program, and automatically perfused the compound solutions from low concentrations to high concentrations. Data were recorded and analyzed using the HEAK Patchmaster, HEAK EPC10 patch clamp amplifier (Nanion), Pathliner software and Pathcontrol HTsoftware, and the current of the compound at each concentration and the current of the blank control were analyzed.
