Description

Application of formamide compound in preparation of spinal cord tumor resisting medicine and kit

Technical Field

The invention relates to a new application of formamide compounds in pharmacy.

Background

Chordoma is a relatively rare primary tumor, originating from residual spinal cord tissue of the embryo, preferably around the age of 40 to 60 years. Among them, the skull base chordoma is a rare disease, only accounts for one thousandth of the intracranial tumor, occurs in the slope and saddle area of the skull base, and grows slowly and invasively. Epidemiological surveys have shown that the annual incidence of craniofacial chordoma is 0.2-0.8 per million people. The skull base chordoma, due to its special location, can cause serious consequences and even death in deep brain where surrounding tissues are involved. The current treatment means for patients mainly comprise:

1. and (3) operation: radical surgical resection is the only effective treatment at present. However, complete tumor resection is not achieved in nearly 70% of patients.

2. Radiotherapy: among various radiotherapy methods, only proton knives have been proven to have certain efficacy on chordoma at present. However, the proton knife may damage the tissue around the tumor, especially the brain stem and optic nerve. There is still a considerable risk with this approach. In addition, proton knife therapy requires multiple objective factors, such as high cost, making proton knife therapy unavailable to many patients.

3. Medicine preparation: at present, no drug which is really effective on the chordoma is available, including common chemotherapy and targeted therapy;

therefore, the urgent need in the field is to explore new means for treating chordoma, especially to discover a specific drug target, which can effectively treat chordoma patients and meet the needs of clinical application.

Detailed Description

The present invention is described in further detail with reference to the following examples, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and the technical scope of the present invention is defined by the claims.

Example 1

The compounds were tested for their inhibitory activity against the normal cell lines 293-T (human renal epithelial cells) and HL7702 (human hepatocytes) using the CELL TITER-GLO method. The initial concentration of the compound was 100 micromolar, 2-fold dilution, and 3 concentration duplicate wells were assayed, with specific experimental procedures being performed according to the kit instructions. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values for the compounds of the present application are shown in table 1 below.

TABLE 1 half inhibitory concentrations of the compounds of the invention against two normal cell lines

As can be seen from Table 1, compared with positive compounds LY364947 and Vactosertib, the compound GFH-018 disclosed by the application has weak inhibitory activity on human normal renal epithelial cells (293-T) and human normal hepatic cells (HL7702) and has lower toxic and side effects.

Example 2

Compounds were tested for inhibitory activity against UM-Chor1 (human skull base chordoma), MCF7 (human breast cancer cells), U87MG (human glioblastoma cells) using the CELL TITER-GLO method. The initial concentration of the compound was 100 micromolar, 2-fold dilution, and 3 concentration duplicate wells were assayed, with specific experimental procedures being performed according to the kit instructions. The specific results are shown in Table 2 below. TABLE 1 half inhibitory concentrations of the compounds of the invention against two normal cell lines

TABLE 2 half inhibitory concentration of the compounds of the invention against sensitive tumor cell lines

As can be seen from Table 2, the GFH-018 compound expressed in the present application has higher inhibitory activity against UM-Chor1 (human skull base chordoma), MCF7 (human breast cancer cell) and U87MG (human glioblastoma cell) than the positive compounds LY364947 and Vactosertib.
