Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry technology, and in particular relates to bicyclic small molecule TNF-α inhibitors, their preparation methods, and uses. Background Technology
[0002] Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, nonspecific inflammatory bowel disease that is most common in young patients. Clinical manifestations include acute, persistent or recurrent diarrhea, mucopurulent bloody stools accompanied by abdominal pain, tenesmus and varying degrees of systemic symptoms. Patients may experience extraintestinal manifestations related to the skin, mucous membranes, joints, eyes, liver and gallbladder. It takes a long time to cure and may even be incurable for life (Chinese consensus on diagnosis and treatment in inflammatory bowel disease (2018, Beijing) [J]. J Dig Dis, 2021,22(6): 298-317). Eight to ten years after the onset of UC, patients experience increased oxidative stress due to chronic inflammation, leading to DNA damage and a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer, with a cancer risk as high as 18% (Short SP, Pilat JM, Barrett CW, et al. Colonic Epithelial-Derived Selenoprotein P Is the Source for Antioxidant-Mediated Protection in Colitis-Associated Cancer [J]. Gastroenterology, 2021, 160(5): 1694-708.e3). Furthermore, according to literature (Zhang B, Wang HE, Bai YM, et al. Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with higher dementia risk: a nationwide longitudinal study [J]. Gut, 2021(70): 85-919), long-term chronic intestinal inflammation also increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
[0003] Currently, with the improvement of people's living standards, the incidence of UC and related colorectal cancers is rising rapidly.
[0004] However, the pathogenesis of UC remains unclear. Current research suggests that the disease has a certain genetic predisposition, patients often experience immune imbalances, and it is closely related to a variety of environmental factors (Piovani D, Danese S, Peyrin-Biroulet L, et al. Environmental Risk Factors for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: An Umbrella Review of Meta-analyses [J]. Gastroenterology, 2019,157(3): 647-59.e4).
[0005] Clinically, UC is mainly treated with traditional small molecule drugs, such as salicylates like mesalazine, corticosteroids like prednisone, dexamethasone, and budesonide, as well as non-specific immunosuppressants like imidazole-mercaptopurine. However, these drugs can easily lead to abnormal liver function, leukopenia, thrombosis, and increased risk of malignant tumors, and patients still cannot be effectively cured even after years of long-term medication. In addition, oral small molecule targeted drugs, Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of UC, such as tofacitinib (approved in 2018) and utpatinib (approved in 2022). However, these JAK inhibitors are prone to causing risks such as heart disease, malignant tumors, and thromboembolism (Núñez P, Quera R, Yarur A J. Safety of Janus Kinase Inhibitors in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases [J]. Drugs, 2023, 83(4): 299-314). Therefore, in 2021, the FDA issued a black box warning about tofacitinib. Ozanimod, a selective oral dual agonist targeting sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 and receptor 5 (S1PR1 / S1PR5), was approved by the FDA in 2021 for the treatment of UC, but its mechanism of action is still unclear and may affect patients' cardiovascular function or cause upper respiratory tract infections (Paik J. Ozanimod: A Review in Ulcerative Colitis [J]. Drugs, 2022, 82(12): 1303-13).
[0006] Over the past decade, numerous studies have demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is the most effective target for treating ulcerative colitis (UC). However, currently, no small-molecule inhibitors that inhibit TNF-α production for UC are available on the market. The only FDA-approved drugs targeting TNF-α for UC treatment are large-molecule antibody inhibitors, such as infliximab, adalimumab, and golimuumab. These drugs can effectively control the disease, but long-term injections can easily lead to antibody formation and severe drug resistance. Furthermore, their manufacturing processes are complex, quality standards are difficult to establish, and the drugs are expensive.
[0007] Therefore, UC, as a major and refractory inflammatory and immune chronic disease in the global medical field, faces the urgent technical challenge of developing oral small molecule TNF-α inhibitors for the treatment of UC, given that traditional small molecule drugs cannot effectively control it.

Except for the normal control group, all other groups were given free access to 2.5% DSS solution for 7 days (the normal control group received blank drinking water), after which all groups received blank drinking water. The 2.5% DSS solution was prepared as follows: 3 g of DSS powder (MP Biomedicals, USA, molecular weight 36000-50000) was dissolved thoroughly in 100 mL of mouse drinking water. The DSS solution was freshly prepared and changed every other day.
[0062] (3) Effects of Compound 31 on General Signs and Body Weight in DSS-Induced Acute UC Mice In the normal control group, mice were active, had glossy fur, gained weight steadily, and had normal, oval or spindle-shaped stools. Mice in the DSS model group gradually began to show reduced spontaneous activity, sluggish responses, decreased appetite, and lethargy; throughout the experiment, their weight showed a downward trend. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1In the diagram, Con represents the Control group (normal control group), Model represents the DSS group (model control group), Mes represents the positive control mesalazine group, 104 represents group 104 (i.e., positive control 2), H represents the high-dose group of compound 31, M represents the medium-dose group of compound 31, and L represents the low-dose group of compound 31. At the end of the experiment, the average body weight of the DSS model group was significantly lower than that of the normal control group (p < 0.001). Compared with the model group, mice in the different doses of compound 31 and the positive drug mesalazine group showed significantly milder symptoms, a significantly slower rate of weight loss, increased activity, increased food intake, and significantly better mental state. The weight loss in the high-dose group of compound 31 was significantly lower than that in the model group (p < 0.05; p < 0.01).
[0063] (4) Effect of compound 31 on DAI score in DSS-induced acute UC mice During the experiment, the stool quality of each mouse was assessed, including loose stools and bloody stools, and a bloody stool score was determined. Loose stools began to appear in mice on day 3 after drinking DSS, and by day 5, significant bloody stools, mucus stools, or mucopurulent bloody stools appeared. As the experiment progressed, the disease symptoms gradually worsened, with some animals experiencing severe bloody stools and significant weight loss. At the end of the experiment, the bloody stool score of the DSS model group was significantly higher, while the bloody stool scores of mice in all other treatment groups were lower than those in the DSS model group. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 In the table, Con represents the Control group (normal control group), Model represents the DSS group (model control group), Mes represents the positive control mesalazine group, 104 represents group 104 (i.e., positive control 2), H represents the high-dose group of compound 31, M represents the medium-dose group of compound 31, and L represents the low-dose group of compound 31. The hematochezia score in the high-dose group of Example 31 was significantly lower than that in the model group (p < 0.01). The evaluation criteria for DAI are shown in Table 5.
[0064] Table 5: DAI Scoring Details (5) Effect of Compound 31 on Serum Levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 in DSS-Induced Acute UC Mice Blood was collected from mice, and serum was separated. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 in the mouse serum were detected by ELISA. The results showed that the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 in the serum of the model group mice were significantly higher than those in the normal group. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 in the serum of mice in each dose group of Compound 31 (Example 31), the 104 group, and the mesalazine group were all lower than those in the model group. Furthermore, with increasing dosage of Compound 31, the levels of these inflammatory factors in the serum of mice with acute UC showed a significant decreasing trend. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 In this context, con represents the Control group (normal control group), dss represents the DSS group (model control group), mes represents the positive control mesalazine group, 104 represents the 104 group (i.e., positive control 2), H represents the high-dose group of compound 31, M represents the medium-dose group of compound 31, and L represents the low-dose group of compound 31. Figure 3 In the text, * indicates p < 0.05; ** indicates p < 0.01; *** indicates p < 0.001.
[0065] (6) Effects of Compound 31 on the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 mRNA in colon tissue of DSS-induced acute UC mice After dissection of the mice, a segment of the colon from the same location was taken from each mouse, and total RNA was extracted from the tissue. qPCR was used to detect the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 mRNA in the mouse colon tissue. The results showed that the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 mRNA in the colon tissue of the model group mice was significantly higher than that in the normal group. The expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 mRNA in the colon tissue of mice in each dose group of compound 31 (Example 31), group 104, and group mesalazine were all lower than those in the model group, and showed a clear dose-dependent effect with increasing dose of compound 31. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 In this context, con represents the Control group (normal control group), dss represents the DSS group (model control group), mes represents the positive control mesalazine group, 104 represents the 104 group (i.e., positive control 2), H represents the high-dose group of compound 31, M represents the medium-dose group of compound 31, and L represents the low-dose group of compound 31. Figure 4 In the text, * indicates p < 0.05; ** indicates p < 0.01; *** indicates p < 0.001.
[0066] (7) Effect of Compound 31 on Colon Length in DSS-Induced Acute UC Mice After dissection, the colon of each mouse was harvested, and its length was measured. The results showed that the colon of the normal control group mice was longer, with smooth and even intestinal mucosa, and no abnormalities. In the DSS model group mice, the colon showed subtle or obvious bleeding, higher hardness and swelling, and some mice even had large segments of blood-soaked material in their colons. The colon length was significantly shorter than that of the normal control group. In Example 31, all compound dosage groups, the 104 group, and the mesalazine group inhibited colon shortening to varying degrees, and their colon lengths were significantly higher than those in the model group. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 In this context, Con represents the Control group (normal control group), Model represents the DSS group (model control group), Mes represents the positive control mesalazine group, 104 represents group 104 (i.e., positive control 2), H represents the high-dose group of compound 31, M represents the medium-dose group of compound 31, and L represents the low-dose group of compound 31. Figure 5 It can be seen that the differences between the high-dose group and the model group in Group 104 and Compound Example 31 were statistically significant (p < 0.05; p < 0.01).
[0067] (8) Effect of Compound 31 on Colonic Pathological Changes in DSS-Induced Acute UC Mice Mice were dissected and partial colon tissue was isolated. After fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde, the tissue was embedded in paraffin and sectioned. The sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The sections were observed under an upright white light microscope, and the pathological changes in the colon were scored using a double-blind semi-quantitative method. The scoring criteria are shown in Table 6. The final histopathological score of colon was the sum of the scores for ulceration, inflammation, granulation tissue, lesion depth, and fibrosis in Table 6.
[0068] Table 6: Scoring criteria for HE-stained colon tissue In the normal control group: the mucosa of the mouse colon tissue protruded into the intestinal lumen to form folds, which were abundant. The lamina propria contained numerous densely packed intestinal glands. The muscularis mucosae separated the lamina propria from the submucosa, which was loose connective tissue. The muscularis mucosae had a clear structure, uneven thickness, and no obvious pathological changes were observed. In the DSS model group: the mouse colon tissue showed significant pathological changes, including moderate to large-scale ulcers, loss of mucosal epithelial and intestinal gland structures, extensive proliferation of connective tissue, and infiltration of numerous inflammatory cells, mainly lymphocytes, into the submucosa. Occasionally, small focal infiltrations of granulocytes into the muscularis mucosae were observed. Intestinal glands were significantly dilated, and the mucosal epithelial cells were flattened and showed hydropic degeneration, with loose and pale cytoplasm. A small number of neovascularizations were observed in some samples, suggesting the formation of granulation tissue. These results are consistent with the typical pathological features of UC. The colonic disease scores of mice in the compound 31 group, group 104, and mesalazine group at all dosages were significantly improved. Furthermore, with increasing dosage of compound 31, the colonic disease scores of mice with acute UC showed a significant decreasing trend. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 In this text, Con represents the Control group (normal control group), Model represents the DSS group (model control group), Mes represents the positive control mesalazine group, 104 represents group 104 (i.e., positive control 2), H represents the high-dose group of compound 31, M represents the medium-dose group of compound 31, and L represents the low-dose group of compound 31. Figure 6 In the text, * indicates p < 0.05; ** indicates p < 0.01; *** indicates p < 0.001; and **** indicates p < 0.001. From... Figure 6 It can be seen that, compared with the positive drug mesalazine group and group 104, the high-dose group in Example 31 showed more significant recovery of colon tissue.
[0069] In a DSS-induced acute inflammatory bowel disease model in mice, the compound of Example 31 showed good therapeutic effects on DSS-induced acute enteritis. Compounds of Example 31 at concentrations of 1, 3, and 10 mg / kg all alleviated the model-induced weight loss and pathological scores in mice, inhibited fecal hemorrhage, and reduced colonic shortening. They also reduced the levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 in mouse serum and the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-23 in colonic tissue, exhibiting a certain dose-dependent effect. The 10 mg / kg compound of Example 31 showed the best efficacy, with overall efficacy superior to the positive control drugs mesalazine (50 mg / kg) and 104 (10 mg / kg).
