Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medicine, in particular to GLP-1 receptor agonists, a preparation method thereof and the application thereof in medicine. BACKGROUND
[0002] The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor is one of the most concerned drug targets for treating type II diabetes and obesity. GLP-1 receptor agonists not only promote insulin secretion, inhibit glucagon secretion and reduce blood sugar, but also delay gastric emptying and suppress appetite, thereby reducing body weight. The GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide can reduce the glycosylated hemoglobin level close to 1.8% and reduce body weight by more than 15%, and is considered to be a revolutionary product for treating obesity. In 2022, the global sales of semaglutide reached 10.8 billion US dollars, and the expected sales in 2023 will exceed 20 billion US dollars.
[0003] However, the existing GLP-1 receptor agonists are all macromolecular polypeptide drugs, which have the limitations of poor medication compliance, low production capacity, high treatment cost, etc. Small molecule drugs can undoubtedly make up for the shortcomings of peptide drugs due to their advantages of convenient oral use, easy production and low price. In recent years, the research on small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonists has become a front hot spot in the pharmaceutical field.

The ice bath was removed, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. After the reaction was complete as monitored by TLC, methanol was added to quench the reaction. The mixture was then directly stirred with silica gel and purified by Flash column chromatography to obtain compound 32-1 (2.8 g, 13.6 mmol).

The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was monitored by TLC until complete. The reaction solution was washed three times with NH4Cl aqueous solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, mixed with silica gel, and purified by Flash column chromatography to obtain compound 32-2 (3.6 g, 11.2 mmol).

Under nitrogen protection, the mixture was cooled to -78 °C for 10 min, followed by slow dropwise addition of n-butyllithium (4.5 mL, 11.2 mmol). The mixture was stirred at -78 °C for 30 min. Then, 3,3-difluorocyclohexanone (1 g, 10 mmol) was slowly added. After the addition was complete, the mixture was slowly heated to room temperature and stirred for 3 h. After the reaction was monitored by TLC until complete, the reaction was quenched with ammonium chloride aqueous solution (10 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (twice, 30 mL each time). The combined organic phases were washed twice with saturated brine (10 mL each time). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and purified by Flash column chromatography to give compound 32-3 (500 mg, 1.43 mmol).

DAST (1.15 g, 7.15 mmol) was slowly added dropwise, and the reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 2 h. After the reaction was monitored by TLC until complete, the reaction was quenched by adding saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution (10 mL). The organic phase was washed twice with saturated brine (5 mL each time), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and purified by Flash column chromatography to give compound 32-4 (285 mg, 0.81 mmol).
[0335] Step 5: Synthesis of (2-fluoro-4-(1,3,3-trifluorocyclobutyl)phenyl)methane-d2-ol (32-5)
[0336] Compound 32-4 (285 mg, 0.81 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (2 mL), and CsF (370 mg, 2.43 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was monitored by TLC until complete. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (30 mL), washed three times with saturated brine (5 mL each time), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give compound 32-5 (190 mg, 0.8 mmol).

[0474] Biological tests
[0475] Example 1: Evaluation of GLP-1 receptor agonist activity
[0476] 1) Testing Principle
[0477] This experiment uses cAMP Hunter TM The CHO-K1 GLP1R Gs cell line (DiscoverX, 95-0062C2) overexpresses wild-type GPCRs coupled to Gs. Under the influence of the compound, the downstream signaling pathway of GLP-1R is activated, leading to an increase in cAMP levels. CAMP levels in the cells were detected using an HTRF (uniform time-resolved fluorescence) cAMP assay kit (CisBio) to reflect the activity of the compound in activating the GLP-1 receptor. This method involves a competitive immunoassay between naturally occurring cAMP produced by the cells and exogenous cAMP labeled with dye d2. Tracker binding is indicated by anti-cAMP activity using a cryptotate-labeled mAb. A specific signal (i.e., energy transfer) is inversely proportional to the cAMP concentration in the standard live assay sample.
[0478] 2) Test methods
[0479] The test compound was dissolved in DMSO to prepare a stock solution with an initial concentration of 10 mM. For small molecule compounds, the initial concentration was 0.2 mM, diluted 4-fold, and diluted 10 times. DMSO was used as a solvent control. 100 nL of the test sample (Echo) at different concentrations was added to each well of a 384-well plate, with two replicates for each sample.
[0480] cAMP Hunter TMCHO-K1 GLP1R Gs cells were digested, centrifuged, and resuspended in analytical buffer (5 mM HEPES, 0.01 mM IBMX, 0.1% BSA, 1×HBSS). The viable cell density was adjusted to 1 x 10⁻⁶ cells / cells. 5 Cells / mL. Add 10 μL of cells to each well of a 384-well plate, centrifuge at 600 rpm for 3 min, and incubate at room temperature for 60 min.
[0481] Add 5 μL of 4X Eu-cAMP tracer solution and 5 μL of 4X ULight to each well. TM - Anti-cAMP solution. After centrifugation at 600 rpm for 3 min, incubate at room temperature for 60 min. Use an Envision multi-label plate reader to read changes in the HTRF signal using 330 nm excitation and 615 nm luminescence.
[0482] Raw data were converted to nM cAMP by interpolation from the cAMP standard curve, and the percentage of effect relative to the saturation concentration of the full agonist GLP-17-37 (10 nM) contained in each plate was determined. EC50 was performed on the agonist dose-response curves analyzed using a curve fitting procedure with a four-parameter logarithmic dose-response equation. 50 Confirmed, results are shown in Table 1.

The compound was administered to rats via single gavage and single intravenous injection in a solvent of 10% DMSO + 50% PEG400 + 40% Saline, with three animals per route of administration. The gavage dose was 5 mg / kg, and the intravenous dose was 1 mg / kg. Whole blood samples were collected within 24 hours. Plasma samples were obtained by centrifugation at 2000 g / min for 10 min at 4℃. 50 μL of plasma sample was taken, and 5 μL of internal standard solution (100 ng / mL rameltein 50% methanol aqueous solution) was added. A certain amount of methanol was added to precipitate proteins, followed by vortexing at 2500 rpm for 1 min. Finally, the mixture was centrifuged at 17000 g for 10 min at 4℃, and 180 μL of the supernatant was collected for quantitative analysis of plasma drug concentration using LC-MS / MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using Phoenix WinNonlin 8.4 software based on the plasma drug concentration data at different time points, providing T0. 1 / 2 C max AUC last The parameters Cl_obs, Cl_F_obs, F, and their average values are shown in Table 2 below.
