Description

PROTAC molecule of targeting SARS-CoV-23C protease and application thereof
Technical Field
The application belongs to the field of medicines, and particularly relates to a PROTAC (protein degradation targeting chimeras) compound targeting a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) 3C protease, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, a preparation method of the compound, and application of the compound in preparing a 3-chymotrypsin-like protease inhibitor, particularly an anti-coronavirus medicine.
Background
The pathogenic virus SARS-CoV-2 mainly attacks the lower respiratory tract system of human body and causes viral pneumonia; the medicine also can affect the gastrointestinal tract system, the heart, the kidney, the liver and the central nervous system, seriously threatens the life health and safety of human beings and brings great negative effects to the whole society. As soon as the application is filed, the global cases and the number of deaths are still in a sharp rising situation.
From the characteristics of the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in all regions of the world, the virus has long latent period, high concealment (no symptom infection, latent period infection, light initial symptoms and similar cold), strong infectivity (various infection routes), and brings great difficulty to prevention and treatment. Based on the characteristics of the virus, we need to make preparations for long-term co-existence with SARS-CoV-2, which after widespread, may become endemic in the population. Therefore, the research and development of specific drugs aiming at SARS-CoV-2 will be an important direction for preventing and treating novel coronavirus for a period of time in the future.
The 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3C protease), also called main protease, is a key enzyme in the life cycle of viruses, and firstly releases the protease per se by self-cleavage of polyprotein, and then cuts at more than 11 sites on a peptide fragment to generate various proteins related to replication and transcription. The 3C protease plays an important role in regulating the life cycle of the virus and expressing genes, and has no obvious homology with the protein of the human body, so the 3C protease is an important target for developing the anti-coronary virus medicine.
GC376(CAS 1416992-39-6) is a covalent inhibitor of SARS-CoV-23C protease and inhibits the replication of novel coronaviruses in vitro. However, GC376 has difficulty completely blocking viral replication and cannot completely inhibit the viral infection process. Moreover, the existing structural modification modes for GC376 generally cannot provide GC376 with the capability of completely blocking virus replication, but on the contrary, these modification modes may also result in that GC376 cannot enter the active protein binding domain of 3C protease, cannot interact with the active protein binding domain thereof, and/or change the action mechanism of GC376 and 3C protease, thereby resulting in the loss of the binding capability of GC376 and 3C protease, failing to achieve effective inhibition of 3C protease, and further being difficult to achieve the purpose of completely blocking virus replication.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for a compound based on GC376, which not only can achieve 3C protease inhibitory activity equivalent to or stronger than that of GC376, but also can completely block replication of viruses, particularly novel coronaviruses, and inhibit the infection process thereof.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention combines computational chemistry, fully studies the action modes of GC376 and SARS-CoV-23C protease, and connects specific sites of GC376 and series derivatives thereof with ligands of E3 ubiquitin ligase through specific connecting arms with different properties to form PROTAC (protein degradation targeting chimeras) molecules shown in formula (I). According to the invention, through the use of a specific connecting arm and the modification of a specific group at a specific site of GC376, the binding capacity of GC376 and 3C protease is retained, the obtained compound with a ternary structure can be simultaneously bound with 3C protease and E3 ubiquitin ligase, and ubiquitin molecules are recruited to the surface of 3C protease through E3 ligase to cause the ubiquitination degradation of 3C protein, so that the compound is completely different from GC376 in action mechanismThe purpose of blocking the replication of the virus and inhibiting the infection process of the virus is realized. The cell experiment result shows that the compound can effectively inhibit the activity of the novel coronavirus, and part of the compound can even realize stronger in-vitro inhibition activity of the novel coronavirus than GC376, namely EC 50 The minimum can be 0.08 mu M. Because the action mechanism of the compound is completely different from that of GC376, the compound provides a brand new effective way for blocking the replication and infection of variant viruses, particularly variant novel coronavirus strains.
Specifically, the invention is realized by the following aspects:
in a first aspect, the present invention provides a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof:

As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term "3-chymotrypsin-like protease inhibitor" refers to a compound having 3-chymotrypsin-like protease inhibitory activity. As a non-limiting example, compound GC376 and its derivatives were used as 3-chymotrypsin-like protease inhibitors. As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term "3-chymotrypsin-like protease inhibitor moiety (M) 1 ) "refers to a structural module obtained by substituting one or more hydrogen atoms on a 3-chymotrypsin-like protease inhibitor by a single bond, which is covalently linked to other structural modules by the single bond.
As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term "E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand" or "ligand of E3 ubiquitin ligase" refers to a compound capable of binding to E3 ubiquitin ligase. Without wishing to be bound by theory, E3 ubiquitin ligase ligands in the art can all be used in the present invention. As a non-limiting example, the E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand can be a VHL ligand or a CRBN ligand. As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term "E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand moiety (M) 2 ) "refers to a structural module obtained by substituting one or more hydrogen atoms on the E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand by a single bond, which is covalently linked to other structural modules by the single bond.
Herein, the term "C m-n "means that the moiety modified by the term has m to n carbon atoms (n is greater than m and both are integers). E.g. C 1-6 The moiety representing the modification thereof has 1 to 6 carbon atoms, for example, 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms, 4 carbon atoms, 5 carbon atoms, or 6 carbon atoms.

Vero cells from African green monkey kidney were cultured in DMEM (Gibco, USA) medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco, USA), penicillin at 100U/ml and streptomycin at 0.1 mg/ml.
All infection experiments were performed in the biosafety tertiary (BLS-3) laboratory. 20mM drug was diluted from 2. mu.M to 0.03125. mu.M in a DMEM (1% double antibody) gradient, two-fold. GC376 was used as a positive control and 0.1% DMSO was used as a blank control. Diluted drug was added to 96-well plates at 60 μ L per well. In a 96-well plate to which 60. mu.L of the drug had been added, 60. mu.L of 200TCID 50/100. mu.L of a novel coronavirus (Nature communications, 2020, 11(1), 1-8) was added at a final virus concentration of 100TCID 50/100. mu.L. Incubating at 37 deg.C for 1 hr, washing the plate, adding 100 μ L of incubated virus-drug mixture into each well, setting virus control (only virus and no drug), blank control (no drug and no virus), positive control (GC376), observing cytopathic condition for 72 hr, calculating inhibition rate according to cytopathic condition, and automatically calculating EC by Graphpad 50 .
