Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular relates to a compound and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social interaction impairments, delayed language development, and repetitive behaviors. In recent years, the prevalence of ASD has steadily increased, making it a global public health concern. Although the etiology of ASD remains unclear, studies have shown that it is closely linked to multiple mechanisms, including genetic factors, abnormalities in the neurotransmitter system, and immune dysfunction.

[0003] Currently, clinically available medications for the treatment of core symptoms of autism are limited, primarily focusing on controlling comorbid symptoms (such as aggressive behavior, anxiety, and irritability). Risperidone and aripiprazole are currently FDA-approved medications for the treatment of irritability associated with autism. However, their use is limited by adverse effects (such as weight gain, metabolic disturbances, and extrapyramidal reactions) and their limited effectiveness in improving core ASD symptoms. Therefore, developing new, safer, and more effective medications to address clinical needs has become an important research direction in this field.

[0004] Topiramate is an anti-epileptic drug with a multi-target mechanism of action, acting through multiple mechanisms, including modulation of glutamatergic and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitter systems, inhibition of sodium channels, and enhancement of GABA activity. This application explores a dosing regimen based on topiramate that can improve core symptoms of ASD, with the goal of providing a novel, more potent compound. Summary of the Invention

[0108]

[0109] Test example

[0110] This test example discloses a drug efficacy test on the compound of the present application in improving valproic acid (VPA)-induced autism in rats.

[0111] 1. ASD model establishment

[0112] Wistar rats were induced with valproic acid (VPA) at 12.5 days of gestation to induce autism. Pregnant females were intraperitoneally injected with either VPA (500 mg / kg) or saline (10 mL / kg) and then returned to their original cages. Offspring of both sexes born to VPA-treated dams with one of four tail abnormalities (short tail, mid-curved tail, short curved tail, or double curved tail) were enrolled in the ASD model. Offspring born to VPA- or saline-treated dams were weaned and housed separately by sex at 21 days of age. The offspring were randomly divided into a blank control group (pregnant rats not treated with VPA), a model group (ASD model), control groups 1-2 (ASD model), and compound groups 1-14 (ASD model), with 6 rats per group (3 females and 3 males), for a total of 18 groups.

[0113] 2. Dosage regimen

[0114] Rats in the blank control group and model group were orally gavaged with 10 mL / kg of normal saline. Rats in the comparative example 1 group were orally gavaged with 3 mg / kg of topiramate. Rats in the comparative example 2 group and compound 1-14 groups were orally gavaged with equimolar amounts (dosage calculated based on 3 mg / kg of topiramate) of the compound in comparative example 2 and compounds 1-14, respectively. Dosing was performed once daily from day 21 to day 50 (a total of 29 days).

[0115] 3. Test results

[0116] 3.1 Behavioral testing: open field test

[0117] The day after treatment, an open field test was conducted. Rats were randomly placed in an opaque acrylic square open field (100 × 100 × 45 cm). The bottom of the box was divided into a central and peripheral compartment. Before the test, the rats were allowed to explore the environment for 1 minute. Afterward, the rats were placed in the center of the field and their spontaneous activity was measured for 1 hour. The time spent in the center and peripheral compartments, as well as the number of times the rats groomed, was recorded. The rats' spontaneous locomotor activity was tested to assess their emotions. The time spent in the center and peripheral compartments was used to assess fear and anxiety, while excessive and abnormal grooming behavior was used to assess repetitive and aggressive behavior.

[0118] Table 1 Open field test results

[0119]

[0120] According to the results of the open field test, the compounds of the present invention can significantly improve the behavioral abnormalities of VPA-induced autism model rats. The central residence time and combing times of the compound 5-14 group were restored to levels close to those of the blank control group, and the effects were significantly better than those of the comparative example 1 and comparative example 2 groups.

[0122] After the behavioral experiment, the anesthetized rats were perfused with the heart. The hippocampal tissue was quickly isolated and frozen in liquid nitrogen. The collected tissue was homogenized and the supernatant was used to determine the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE).

[0124]

[0125] As can be seen from the above table, the SOD activity and AChE levels of the compound 1-14 group of the present invention were significantly different from those of the model group (P < 0.001). Among them, the SOD activity and AChE levels of the compound 5-14 group returned to the normal range, and the improvement effect was significantly better than that of the comparative example 1 group and the comparative example 2 group (P < 0.05), showing excellent neuroprotective effects and providing important candidate molecules for the development of new autism treatment drugs.

[0126] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
