Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to biguanide compounds and use thereof, more particularly, to biguanide derivatives exhibiting excellent effects for inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and inhibition of cancer metastasis and recurrence, a method for preparing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same as an active ingredient. In addition, the present invention relates to a method of prevention and/or treatment of cancer comprising the step of administering an effective amount of the composition to a subject in need thereof.

RELATED ART

Normal cells produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation and hardly produce lactic acid, while cancer cells produce ATP through glycolysis and lactic acid fermentation. Thus, cancer cells, unlike normal cells, require more glucose, and even under aerobic environment, are converted to pro-oncogenic metabolism wherein glucose prefers glycolysis (Warburg effect). Cancer cells use such a metabolic pathway for production of energy source as a main energy source, and thus, cancer cells make an environment where survival, proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis can be actively progressed, and are progressed into malignant cancer. Therefore, if the energy metabolism of cancer cells is inhibited, it will be more likely to overcome narrow treatment area and tolerance problems of the existing target cancer agents, and recently, much concern has been focused on the development of cancer agents targeting metabolic characteristics of cancer cells (Nature Review cancer 2011; 11: 85-95).

Biguanide drugs such as phenformin and metformin are known as a mitochondria complex 1 inhibitor, and known to inhibit oxidative phosphorylation to increase energy stress of cancer cells, thereby inhibiting differentiation and survival of cancer cells. However, since the efficacies are insubstantial, there is a difficulty in development as anticancer agents. The use of phenformin has been thoroughly prohibited since the late 1970's due to the serious side effect of lactic acidosis. Thus, there is a demand for biguanide type material with improved chemicophysical properties, which exhibits more excellent pharmacological action than metformin and does not exhibit side effects like phenformin.

It has been reported that the oxidative phosphorylation capacity of metformin is insignificant, and thus, it is known that the anticancer effect is insignificant even if high dose is used (J. Clin. Invest. 2013; 123:3693-3700). Moreover, since it is absorbed through OCT1, the subject of cancer is limited to liver or pancreas (J Clin Invest. 2013; 123(9):3693-3700). Meanwhile, it is reported that phenformin relatively effectively inhibits oxidative phosphorylation in cancer cells due to the property of the material, to decrease oxygen consumption rate (OCR), thus increasing extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) by the offset reaction. However, it is reported that in a patient group with problems of liver metabolism, lactic acidosis occurs, seriously causing death. As the result, the use as anti-diabetic has been prohibited in most countries including US. Accordingly, there is a demand for development of novel guanidine drugs that may overcome the disadvantages of the existing biguanide drugs, maintain the usefulness of the biguanide drugs and pharmacokinetically improve it, and induce combined effects with the existing drugs.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE

The compounds produced in Examples 1 to 96 were evaluated for their inhibitory activities on cancer cells according to the following method.

Experimental Example 1: Evaluation of Inhibitory Activity Against Cancer Cells

The inhibitory activities of biguanide derivatives against cancer cells were evaluated in the cell line SK-MEL-28 derived from human Melanoma cell, Miapaka-2 cell line derived from human pancreatic cancer cell and HCT116 cell line derived from human colorectal cancer cell by measuring the concentration that inhibits 50% of the growth of the cell lines (the half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC₅₀).

Firstly, SK-MEL-28 cells were grown to be density of 5,000 cells/well in RPMI-1640 media supplemented with 10% (v/v) bovine calf serum, on 96-well plates for 16 hr. To measure the IC₅₀ of each compound, the cells were incubated for 48 hr with the 100 mM PBS stock compounds at an amount of 10 mM, 1 mM, 200 uM, 40 uM, 8 uM, 1.6 uM, 0.32 uM or 0.064 uM; 50 mM PBS and EtOH stock compounds at an amount of 1 mM, 200 uM, 40 uM, 8 uM, 1.6 uM, 0.32 uM and 0.064 uM; and 50 mM DMSO stock compounds at an amount of 100 uM, 25 uM, 6.25 uM, 1.56 uM, 0.39 uM, 0.10 uM and 0.02 uM, respectively. To test the viable cells after incubation with each compound, the cell cultures were incubated additionally for 2 hr in the presence of MTT. The produced formazan crystals were dissolved with dimethyl sulfoxide and then measured by detecting the absorbance at 560 nm.

After the 48 hr incubation, the viable cells were counted on the well plates treated with the compounds of the Examples relative to the count of the viable cells on the non-treated plates, and then was represented as the cell viability (%). By using the cell viability (%) result, the cell viability curve was plotted, and IC₅₀ was calculated from the curve to evaluate the inhibitory activity against cancer cells.

The inhibitory activities of biguanide derivatives against cancer cells of Miapaca-2 cell and HCT116 cell were evaluated according to the substantially same method as described in SK-MEL-28 cell, except that DMEM media supplemented with 10% (v/v) bovine calf serum was used instead of RPMI-1640 media supplemented with 10% (v/v) bovine calf serum for SK-MEL-28 cell.

The experimental results of inhibitory activity against cancer cells are summarized in Table 1 as below.

Experimental Example 2: Evaluation of Inhibitory Activity on Oxygen Consumption Rate (OCR)

The cellular metabolic activity of the compounds on Oxygen Consumption Rate (OCR) was evaluated, because the biguanide drugs have anticancer activity by inhibiting the oxidative phosphorylation of cancer cell.

Compared to phenformin, the more effective compounds were selected by evaluating the inhibitory activity on the cell OCR, after lung cancer cell line A549 (ATCC-American Type Culture Collection) was treated with the compounds of Examples.

A549 cells were inoculated at 5×10³ cells in RPMI1640 media on XF96 cell culture plate and cultured for 24 h (temp; 37° C., 5% CO₂) to make the cell adhere to the plate.

After 24 hr, A549 cells were treated by 10 μM of the compounds or phenformin, and were washed with XF analysis media using Prep station to remove the original media. A549 cells were retreated by compounds or phenformin and incubated for 1 hr (temp; 37° C., Non-CO₂) in Prep station. While incubation in Prep station, sensor cartridge was calibrated for 1 hr. Then, the calibrated sensor cartridge was inserted to the cell plate to analyze OCR.

When OCR of phenformin as a reference drug was set to 100% and OCR of untreated control was set to 0%, the OCR of tested compounds was calculated by converting the measured OCR to be the relative percentage value (%). The results are summarized in Table 1, below.
