Four series of molecular hybrids (37 final products) of neo-tanshinlactone, a natural product extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, and known PD-1/PD-L1 interaction inhibitors were prepared as possible chemotherapeutic agents against triple negative breast cancer. Screening using a homogenous time-resolved fluorescence method resulted in three lead compounds (MZ52 IC50 74 ± 4 nM; MZ58 IC50 134 ± 17 nM; MZ61 IC50 225 ± 19 nM). With less T cell cytotoxicity and effects in activating CD8+ T cells in a T cell proliferation assay and a functionality experiment, MZ58 was selected as the best candidate for animal experiments. MZ58 exhibited antitumor effects in a subcutaneous transplantation tumor model as well as effects in reducing T cell exhaustion. In conclusion, after in vivo and in vitro experiments, we successfully acquired an effective candidate (MZ58) showing antitumor effects with low cytotoxicity toward T cells as well as the ability to activate CD8+ T cells and reduce T cell exhaustion.
Proteolysis targeting chimera and application thereof

Paragraph 0048-0050, (2021/07/14)
The invention provides a proteolysis targeting chimera and application thereof. According to a technical scheme in the invention, a novel PROTAC degradation agent compound 21a is developed on the basis of a BMS-37 small molecule. The novel PROTAC degradation agent compound 21a is an example of degrading membrane proteins on the basis of a ligand binding to the extracellular domain of a PD-L1 protein, and can effectively degrade PD-L1 in various malignant tumor cells. In-vivo research results show that after treatment with the compound 21a, the compound 21a can significantly reduce the level of the PD-L1 in tumors, promote infiltration of CD8T cells and significantly inhibit growth of mouse colorectal cancer MC-38 cells. The PROTAC molecule is expected to be one of novel and alternative strategies for cancer immunotherapy.

Two series of novel o-(biphenyl-3-ylmethoxy)nitrophenyl compounds (A1-31 and B1-17) were designed as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors. All compounds showed significant inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 2.7 to 87.4 nM except compound A17, and compound B2 displayed the best activity. Further experiments showed that B2 bound to the PD-L1 protein without obvious toxicity in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells. Furthermore, B2 significantly promoted interferon-gamma secretion in a dose-dependent manner in vitro and in vivo. Especially, B2 exhibited potent in vivo anticancer efficacy in an LLC-bearing allograft mouse model at a low dose of 5 mg/kg, which was more active than BMS-1018 (tumor growth inhibition rate: 48.5% vs 17.8%). A panel of immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry assays demonstrated that B2 effectively counteracted PD-1-induced immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment, thereby triggering antitumor immunity. These results indicate that B2 is a promising PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor worthy of further development.
