Nitrogen mustard compound containing hydroximic acid group and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medicines, in particular to a nitrogen mustard compound containing hydroximic acid groups, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Nitrogen mustard drugs, such as chlorambucil, bendamustine hydrochloride, and the like, are alkylating antineoplastic drugs which are the earliest in clinical use and have outstanding curative effects. Such drugs have highly active properties. Because chlorine atoms in chloroethyl are easy to be removed to form carbonium ions, intramolecular cyclization reaction is further carried out to form highly active ethylene imine ions. The nitrogen mustard can react with nucleophilic groups of other macromolecules in vivo, such as carboxyl, amino and sulfhydryl of protein, amino and hydroxyl of nucleic acid, phosphate radical and the like, and is subjected to alkylation modification. Nitrogen mustards readily covalently bind to the seventh nitrogen of guanine, creating cross-links within double strands of DNA or cross-links of different bases within the same strand of DNA. The nitrogen mustard is a cell cycle nonspecific medicine, has poor selectivity when being used as an antitumor medicine, has serious side effects and influences clinical use.
Currently, targeted therapy has become an important direction for cancer therapy, and a single-drug and target-target therapy mode is mostly adopted. However, unlike general diseases, tumors depend not only on the transmission of a receptor or a signaling pathway for their growth and survival, which makes strategies that act solely on a target do not completely kill tumor cells and are prone to drug resistance. Therefore, the combination of multiple drugs is a main means of clinical cancer treatment, and although the expected therapeutic effect can be achieved to a certain extent, the multiple drugs are easy to interact with each other, such as affecting the absorption and metabolism of the drugs, and even if the drugs do not interact with each other, the drugs cannot be combined together with the dosage when the drugs are applied independently.
The search and discovery of effective non-cytotoxic antitumor drugs is a key point of the current antitumor drug chemical research, and in recent years, Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) becomes a new target for designing antitumor drugs. Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Histone Acetyltransferases (HATs) are a broad class of mutually antagonistic proteases found in eukaryotic cells, which together regulate acetylation of terminal amino acid residues of histones to equilibrium. Acetylation and deacetylation of histones is a means of regulating gene transcription, and the degree of acetylation of histones affects gene expression by affecting chromatin structure. HDACs are overexpressed in tumor cells, thereby inhibiting the expression of certain cancer suppressor genes. A number of documents indicate that inhibiting HDAC activity is effective in inhibiting tumor cell growth, metastasis and invasion. HDAC inhibitors have become important targets for anti-tumor effects.
The inventor creatively introduces a hydroximic acid structure with HDAC inhibitory activity into a chlorambucil structure, and synthesizes a series of novel nitrogen mustard compounds containing hydroximic acid groups, wherein the nitrogen mustard compounds have the antitumor activity of the nitrogen mustard group and the inhibitory activity on HDAC. The results of evaluation on the activity of in vitro anti-tumor cells, the influence on the monoclonal formation of the tumor cells, the influence on the tumor cell cycle and the influence on the apoptosis of the tumor cells show that the anti-tumor activity of the compound in the patent is improved by 5 to 18 times compared with that of the parent drug chlorambucil.
