NP19 [[BMS-1001类似物]]在H22肝癌小鼠模型中的体内抗肿瘤活性[3]
鉴于NP19在黑色素瘤B16-F10肿瘤模型中具有良好的体内抗肿瘤效果，且PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂具有广谱的抗肿瘤活性，我们进一步利用H22肝癌模型BALB/c小鼠对复方NP19的体内抗肿瘤效果进行了评价。每只小鼠右侧皮下注射80万个H22细胞。当肿瘤体积达到约100 mm3时，随机选取小鼠，通过腹腔注射NP19或载体溶液治疗14天。如图8所示，NP19在25 mg/kg剂量下具有显著的体内抗肿瘤功效，TGI为76.5%（图8A， 8B, 8C）。此外，NP19没有引起明显的体重减轻（图8D），表明该化合物耐受性良好。

NP19 [[BMS-1001类似物]]在B16-F10小鼠黑色素瘤模型中的体内抗肿瘤活性[3]
为了确定新合成化合物的体外抗pd -1/PD-L1活性是否可以转化为体内功效，我们在小鼠黑色素瘤B16-F10肿瘤模型上测试了化合物NP19的抗肿瘤活性。选择NP19进行体内疗效研究，是因为与更有效的化合物NP2或同样有效的化合物NP12相比，NP19易于合成且细胞毒性较小（表9）。我们将携带黑色素瘤的BALB/c小鼠分别以载药对照和NP19 （25 mg/kg、50 mg/kg、100 mg/kg）灌胃治疗，每天1次，持续15天。如图6所示，治疗15天后，NP19治疗显著抑制了黑色素瘤的生长。

NP19的体内药代动力学性质[[BMS-10016的类似物]][3]
由于化合物NP19在体外表现出较高的药效，接下来通过静脉注射和口服给药来评估雄性Sprague-Dawley大鼠的药代动力学（PK）谱。表8总结了关键po和静脉给药PK参数。单次静脉给药1 mg/kg化合物NP19后，NP19的半衰期（t1/2）为1.5±0.5 h，清除率（CL）为0.9±0.2 L/h/kg，表观分布体积（Vss）为2.1±0.5 L/kg。NP19口服给药剂量为10 mg/kg时，观察到NP19的口服吸收（Tmax = 0.6±0.2 h）、长半衰期（t1/2 = 10.9±7.7 h）和口服生物利用度（F = 5%）。此外，在大鼠中未观察到明显的不良反应。NP19经口服灌胃后的半衰期（10.9 h）比静脉注射的半衰期（1.5 h）长得多；这可能是由于NP19的高亲脂性（logP = 7.9）或水溶性差。结果，NP19表现出翻转式药代动力学。这种翻转式的药代动力学有时会发生在水溶性较差的化合物中，如利巴米胺（43），由于水溶性较差（7.6 μg/mL），其t1/2 (p.o)/t1/2 （i.v）比为13.5。另一个例子是李建明等（44）报道的亲脂化合物IAT（一种水溶性为19 μg/mL的抗微管蛋白剂），其t1/2 (p.o.)/t1/2 （i.v.）的比值为~ 5，类似于NP19 [t1/2 (p.o.)/t1/2 (i.v.) = 7.1]。由于化合物NP19的口服生物利用度较低，我们推测需要高剂量才能提供足够的药物浓度以显示抗肿瘤功效。因此，我们进一步研究了化合物NP19的体内活性。

Pharmacokinetic Study in Male Sprague–Dawley Rats[3]
Male Sprague–Dawley rats (200–220 g) were used to study the pharmacokinetics of compound NP19 [an analog of BMS-1001]. Diet was prohibited for 12 h before the experiment, but water was freely available. Blood samples (0.3 mL) were collected from the tail vein into heparinized 1.5 mL polythene tubes at 0.0833, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h after oral (10 mg/kg) or intravenous (1 mg/kg) administration of compound NP19. The compound was dissolved in 5% DMSO and 95% PEG-300 for intravenous administration or suspended in 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) for oral administration. The samples were immediately centrifuged at 3000g for 10 min. The plasma as-obtained (100 μL) was stored at −20 °C until analysis. PK parameters were determined from individual animal data using noncompartmental analysis in DAS (Drug and statistics) software. Instruments and analytical conditions for PK studies: A UPLC-MS/MS system with ACQUITY I-Class UPLC and a XEVO TQD triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Waters Corp., Milford, MA, USA), equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) interface, was used to analyze the blood samples. The UPLC system was comprised of a Binary Solvent Manager (BSM) and a Sample Manager with Flow-Through Needle (SM-FTN). Masslynx 4.1 software (Waters Corp.) was used for data acquisition and instrument control. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes of m/z 555.35 → 181.03 for NP19 and m/z 237 → 194.1 for carbamazepine were utilized to conduct quantitative analysis.

In Vivo Efficacy Study in Mouse B16F10 Melanoma Model[3]
BALB/c mice, aged 6–8 weeks old, were used to study the inhibition effect of NP19 [an analog of BMS-1001]on subcutaneous transplanted model of melanoma cells. Murine B16F10 melanoma cells growing in a logarithmic growth phase were suspended in PBS at a density of 2 × 106 per mL. Each mouse was inoculated subcutaneously with 200 μL containing 4 × 105 cells. After tumors reached approximately 100 mm3 in volume, mice were divided into four groups randomly (n = 10) and treated with NP19 (25, 50, 100 mg/kg) and vehicle, respectively. The drugs were administered via intragastric gavage once a day for 15 days. The vehicle group was administered with 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na). Animal activity and body weight were monitored during the entire experiment period to assess acute toxicity. Mice were sacrificed 16 days after the initiation of the treatment, and the tumor tissue and major organ (liver, spleen, thymus, and kidney) samples were collected. The harvested tumor tissue and organs (liver, kidney) were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, processed into paraffin routinely, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and captured by microscope. Tumor growth inhibition value (TGI) was calculated using the formula: TGI(%) = [1 – Wt/Wv] × 100%, where Wt and Wv are the mean tumor weight of treatment group and vehicle control.

In Vivo Efficacy Study in Mouse H22 Hepatoma Tumor Model[3]
6–8 weeks old male BALB/c mice were used. A total of 8 × 105 H22 cells were inoculated into the right flank of each mouse according to protocols of tumor transplant research. NP19 [an analog of BMS-1001]was dissolved in 5% DMSO, 40% PEG-200 and 55% saline solution to produce desired concentrations. Mice in control groups were injected intraperitoneally with 200 μL of vehicle solution only. Tumor volume was measured every 2 days with a traceable electronic digital caliper and calculated using the formula a × b2 × 0.5, where a and b represented the larger and smaller diameters, respectively. The mice were sacrificed after the treatments and tumors were excised and weighed.

Antibodies targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint achieved spectacular success in anticancer therapy in the recent years. In contrast, no small molecules with cellular activity have been reported so far. Here we provide evidence that small molecules are capable of alleviating the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint-mediated exhaustion of Jurkat T-lymphocytes. The two optimized small-molecule inhibitors of the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction, BMS-1001 and BMS-1166, developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb, bind to human PD-L1 and block its interaction with PD-1, when tested on isolated proteins. The compounds present low toxicity towards tested cell lines and block the interaction of soluble PD-L1 with the cell surface-expressed PD-1. As a result, BMS-1001 and BMS-1166 alleviate the inhibitory effect of the soluble PD-L1 on the T-cell receptor-mediated activation of T-lymphocytes. Moreover, the compounds were effective in attenuating the inhibitory effect of the cell surface-associated PD-L1. We also determined the X-ray structures of the complexes of BMS-1001 and BMS-1166 with PD-L1, which revealed features that may be responsible for increased potency of the compounds compared to their predecessors. Further development may lead to the design of an anticancer therapy based on the orally delivered immune checkpoint inhibition.[1]

Blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint pathway with monoclonal antibodies has provided significant advances in cancer treatment. The antibody-based immunotherapies carry a number of disadvantages such as the high cost of the antibodies, their limited half-life, and immunogenicity. Development of small-molecule PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors that could overcome these drawbacks is slow because of the incomplete structural information for this pathway. The first chemical PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have been recently disclosed by Bristol-Myers Squibb. Here we present NMR and X-ray characterization for the two classes of these inhibitors. The X-ray structures of the PD-L1/inhibitor complexes reveal one inhibitor molecule located at the center of the PD-L1 homodimer, filling a deep hydrophobic channel-like pocket between two PD-L1 molecules. Derivatives of (2-methyl-3-biphenylyl)methanol exhibit the structures capped on one side of the channel, whereas the compounds based on [3-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-6-yl)-2-methylphenyl]methanol induce an enlarged interaction interface that results in the open "face-back" tunnel through the PD-L1 dimer.[2]
