Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to a substituted aza-uracil compound, a pharmaceutical composition and uses thereof. Background Art
[0002] Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a serious chronic liver disease characterized by hepatocyte fatty degeneration, inflammation, and fibrosis, which can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer. Currently, the number of NASH patients worldwide is increasing dramatically. Existing treatments primarily rely on lifestyle interventions and adjunctive medications targeting metabolic syndrome (such as insulin sensitizers and antioxidants), but these have limited efficacy and are unable to reverse the disease progression.
[0003] Thyroid hormones (THs) are essential regulatory molecules for normal growth and development, as well as for maintaining metabolic homeostasis. By binding to thyroid hormone receptors (THRs), THs promote growth and metabolism, enhance nervous system excitability, accelerate heart rate, and increase heat production. THs are involved in the development and maintenance of brain function, influencing various activities such as neuronal and glial cell differentiation, myelination, and neurogenesis. In the liver, THs regulate hepatic lipid metabolism through multiple pathways, profoundly affecting energy expenditure, fat oxidation, and cholesterol metabolism. THRs are primarily composed of two isoforms, THR-α and THR-β. THR-α is abundant in the brain and heart, while THR-β is expressed at higher levels in the liver, regulating lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory responses. Studies have shown that THR-β plays an important role in regulating triglycerides and cholesterol, improving insulin sensitivity, promoting liver regeneration, and reducing apoptosis. THR-β not only regulates the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) pathway and promotes the liver's absorption of HDL particles, but also enhances the ability of LDL to enter the liver through interaction with the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), promotes the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids by upregulating cytochrome P450 enzyme 7A1 (CYP7A1), and inhibits triglyceride synthesis by downregulating the transcription factor sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1). Therefore, activation of THR-β can significantly promote liver fat clearance, inhibit fibrosis, and improve metabolic disorders, making it an important target for the treatment of NASH. However, first-generation thyroid hormone analogs (such as T3 or T4) cannot be used clinically due to side effects on the heart (mediated by THR-α) (such as tachycardia and arrhythmias).
[0004] Based on this, the development of a highly active and selective THR-β agonist can provide a more comprehensive and effective treatment strategy for the prevention and treatment of NASH. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a substituted aza-uracil compound, a pharmaceutical composition and its use.

The compound with better agonist rate was selected to determine the EC50 of THR-β and THR-α.
[0188] The specific testing process is as follows:
[0189] (1) Preparation of compound dose gradient solution
[0190] Agonism Assay: Compounds were prepared in DMSO to a stock concentration of 10 mM. Each compound was then diluted from the stock concentration to a working concentration (5 mM) in DMSO. Using an Echo pipetting system, 20 nL of the diluted compound solution was transferred to a 384-well assay plate (Corning-4512) at a 100% DMSO concentration. Positive control wells were treated with 20 nL of the highest concentration of triiodothyronine, while negative control wells were treated with 20 nL of DMSO. The final 20 μL DMSO concentration was diluted to 0.1%.
[0191] EC50 Assay: Compounds were prepared in DMSO to a stock concentration of 30 mM. Control compounds were diluted in DMSO from the stock concentration to the working concentration. 10 μL of compound was added to column 1 of a 384-well LDV plate, and 10 μL of DMSO was added to columns 2 through 10 to prepare compound dilution solutions in the 384-well LDV plate. Compounds were diluted 3-fold using a Bravo liquid handling system. 5 μL of compound was transferred from column 1 to column 2 and mixed. 5 μL of compound was then transferred from column 2 to column 3 and mixed. This was followed by dilutions to column 10. According to the experimental design, 20 nL of these diluted compound solutions were transferred to a 384-well assay plate (Corning-4512) using an Echo pipetting system. The DMSO concentration was 100%. 20 nL of the highest concentration of triiodothyronine was added to the positive control wells, and 20 nL of DMSO was added to the negative control wells. The final 20 μL solution was diluted to 0.1% DMSO.
[0192] (2) Preparation of 4×THR-β working solution
[0193] Dilute the THR-β protein to 4× the working concentration in buffer, resulting in a protein concentration of 4 nM. According to the experimental design, add 5 μL of the protein solution to the corresponding wells of the assay plate containing 20 nL of compound. Add 5 μL of blank buffer to the negative control wells. The THR-β protein concentration is 4 nM, and the DMSO content is 0.4%. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 1 minute.
[0194] (3) Preparation of 4×SRCs (steroid receptor coactivator) working solution
[0195] Dilute SRCs to a 4x working concentration in buffer, now a concentration of 400 nM. Add 5 μL of the prepared SRCs solution to the corresponding wells of the assay plate containing 20 nL of the test compound and 5 μL of THRs protein (test compound diluted 500-fold, DMSO content 0.2%). Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 1 minute, seal the membrane, and incubate at 25°C for 30 minutes.
[0196] (4) Preparation of detection reagents
[0197] Dilute mAb Antibody GST-Eu cryptate and Streptavidin-XL665 in buffer to a 2× working mixture. Add 10 μL of this 2× working mixture to the corresponding wells of the assay plate (Streptavidin-XL665 to SRCs concentration ratio of 1:16) with a final DMSO content of 0.1%. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 1 minute. Read continuously for 30 minutes using an Envision microplate reader using the following detection program: Homogeneous TRF Laser 384665 nm / 620 nm.
[0198] (5) Result analysis
[0199] The percent activation (%) of the compound at each concentration was calculated relative to the luminescent signal in the positive and negative control wells included in each assay plate. The high control wells contained 1 μM triiodothyronine, which was used as 100% activation, and the low control wells contained 0.1% DMSO, which was used as 0% activation. Using XL-fit, the four-parameter logistic dose-response equation was used to determine whether the data from each run met the experimental criteria, and the compound concentration required for 50% activation (EC50) was calculated.

[0208] (1) Tissue cell lysis: digest with trypsin, collect cells by centrifugation and then lyse. 6 Add 0.1 mL of lysis buffer to each cell, mix well, and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
[0209] (2) Lysate treatment: Transfer an appropriate amount of supernatant to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, heat at 70°C for 10 minutes, and centrifuge at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature. The supernatant is used for enzymatic assay.
[0210] (3) Preparation of working solution: Mix 4 mL of reagent R1 and 1 mL of reagent R2 in a ratio of 4:1.
[0211] (4) Standard dilution: Use distilled water, physiological saline, or a liquid consistent with the sample buffer to dilute the 4 mM glycerol standard to 1000, 500, 250, 125, and 62.5 μmol / L, and set up a 0 concentration control reaction tube.
[0212] The 5 mM cholesterol standard was diluted with anhydrous ethanol to 2500, 1250, 625, 312.5, 156.2, and 562.5 μmol / L, and a 0 concentration control reaction tube was set up.
[0213] (5) Determination of TG and TC concentrations: After adding the sample, incubate at 25°C for 15 minutes. Zero the tubes with distilled water and a working solution. Measure the OD value of each tube, plot a standard curve, and calculate the TG and TC concentrations.
[0214] The test results are shown in Table 2 below:

[0217] In the table, a represents the standard deviation of three experiments.
[0218] As shown in Table 2, compared with the blank control experiment, compounds I-1, I-5, I-8, and I-15 can significantly reduce the TG and TC levels in HepG2 cells after acting on them. Among them, the improvement effects of compounds I-1 and I-5 on TG and TC are comparable to those of MGL-3196.
[0219] In summary, the substituted aza-uracil compounds provided by the present invention have agonist activity on THR-β protein, and some compounds have agonist activity on THR-β protein comparable to that of MGL-3196, or even exhibit higher selectivity, and can effectively reduce triglycerides and cholesterol in tissue cells. They have good application prospects as THR-β agonists and in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and / or treatment of diseases mediated by THR-β activity (such as NASH, etc.).
