Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine and relates to a 1,3,5-trisubstituted indole derivative and its application as an ATX inhibitor in the treatment of tumors and fibrotic diseases and in promoting hair growth in mammals. Background Art

[0002] Autotaxin (ATX) is a secretory glycoprotein that can hydrolyze LPC (Lysophosphatidylcholine) into choline and lipid signaling molecule LPA (Lysophosphatidate). The ATX-LPA functional axis plays an important role in fibrotic diseases and tumor diseases. Selective inhibition of ATX can effectively control the progression of tumors and fibrosis. In recent years, the research on ATX inhibitors has gradually entered a mature stage. The compound Zirixetastat (WO2014202458A1) entered Phase III clinical research in 2019 for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). In addition, drugs such as BBT877 (patent number not disclosed), X-165 (WO2015154023) and PAT-409 (WO2016028686A1) are in Phase I or Phase II clinical research.

[0003] Domestic research on ATX inhibitors is mainly based on simple site modification based on atom replacement (Zirixetastat parent core imidazopyridine structure analogues), that is, the development of Me-too drugs, such as five-membered and six-membered fused ring parent core pyrazolopyridine compounds (WO2019158107, CN202210530649.9), imidazopyridazine compounds (CN202010658085.8), five-membered and five-membered fused ring parent core imidazothiazole compounds (CN202111348160.1), but generally speaking, there are few reports on innovative structural exploration. Previously, 5-thiazolylindole compounds (CN202010043108.4) were reported as ATX inhibitors with novel structures (optimal compound IC 50 The value was less than 1 nM), although it showed excellent anti-fibrotic activity, the activity needs to be further improved.

[0004] Hair loss is an important public health issue. Numerous studies and survey results show that the quality of life and psychological state of patients with hair loss are significantly affected. Hair loss has become a problem for a large number of young people today, and improving the problem of hair loss is urgent. The current clinical methods for improving hair loss mainly include medication and surgical treatment, but both have significant limitations and disadvantages. Although oral and topical medications (such as minoxidil, finasteride, etc.) are relatively inexpensive and can temporarily relieve the symptoms of hair loss, they have many problems such as large side effects, slow onset, unstable efficacy, and recurrence of the disease after discontinuation of medication. Surgical treatment is fast in effect, but the cost is high, and because the surgery uses autologous single hair follicles and hair follicle units for transplantation, the number is limited and the survival rate is unstable. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore new, safe and effective ways to treat hair loss. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a 1,3,5-trisubstituted indole derivative and its application as an ATX inhibitor in the treatment of tumors and fibrotic diseases and in promoting hair growth in mammals.

[0266] Study on the anti-fibrotic activity of the compounds of the present invention in vivo

[0268] (1) Modeling

[0269] The mice were anesthetized with 4% chloral hydrate and fixed in supine position. The operator held the lower lip with one hand and pulled the mouth open with forceps. The tongue of the mouse was pulled out with the other hand and pressed against the lower lip. The operator then held the mouse tracheal cannula and inserted it into the trachea through the mouth of the mouse. The drug (bleomycin hydrochloride, 4U / kg) in the syringe was slowly pushed out. The tracheal cannula was then carefully pulled out.

[0270] (2) Administration

[0271] Preparation of drug solution: First, add the drug to 1% DMSO and 50% PEG 400 and ultrasonicate for 5 minutes, then add 5% Tween 80 and 44% normal saline and ultrasonicate for 5 minutes. The drug-containing preparation finally becomes clear and transparent.

[0272] KM mice were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the random number table method: control group (Control), bleomycin group (Model), bleomycin + compound 3 (3) group, 12 mice in each group (the latter two groups were modeled with bleomycin according to the pre-experimental dose), and samples were collected on the 28th day. The mice were weighed once a day to adjust the dosage. The test group was gavaged once a day (compound 3, 40 mg / kg), and the control group and model group were gavaged with blank preparations. The drug was started from 24 hours after modeling (the first day) and stopped on the 28th day. Food but water were not allowed for 12 hours before sampling.

[0273] (3) Masson staining of lung tissue

[0274] After sampling, the lung tissue was fixed with 10% formalin, embedded in paraffin and sectioned. The collagen deposition in the lung tissue was observed by Masson staining. Figure 1 shown.

[0275] Masson staining showed that there was obvious collagen fiber deposition in the bleomycin group (Model), and compound 3 could reduce the aggregation of collagen fibers. The above results suggest that compound 3 has a good protective effect on mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

On the second day of depilation, mice with clean depilation and intact skin were selected and randomly divided into the Control group, Model group, 3 (30 mg / kg) and 3 (60 mg / kg) dose groups. Mice in the Model group, 3 (30 mg / kg) and 3 (60 mg / kg) dose groups were smeared with 0.2 mL of 0.1% testosterone (prepared with 50% ethanol) every day to establish a testosterone-induced pathological hair loss model; mice in the Control group were smeared with 50% ethanol. 30 minutes after the application of testosterone, drugs were given according to the groups (the experimental groups were gavagely administered compound 3 at doses of 30 mg / kg and 60 mg / kg, respectively), and the Control group and the Model group were given an equal amount of normal saline once a day for 21 consecutive days (see Figure 2 ).

[0278] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the hair growth of mice on the 15th and 21st days of administration was as follows: Figure 2 The experimental results showed that the hair length of the Model group was significantly lower than that of the Control group; while the hair length of mice treated with compound 3 (30 mg / kg) and 3 (60 mg / kg) was significantly higher than that of the Model group.

[0279] From the above description, one skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications to the invention to adapt to various usages and conditions.

[0280] No unacceptable toxic effects were observed when the compounds of the invention were administered in accordance with the present invention.
