Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the pharmaceutical field, and more particularly to aminothiazole compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, for use as brain-penetrating histamine H2 receptor agonists. Background Technology
[0002] Histamine is an important neurotransmitter and neuromodulator in the central nervous system, participating in the regulation of various physiological functions such as wakefulness, feeding, learning, and memory. Central histamine primarily has three receptors, all of which are G protein-coupled receptors. H1 and H2 receptors are located on the postsynaptic membrane, while H3 receptors are mainly located presynaptic, negatively regulating histamine synthesis and release. Currently, most known histaminergic system functions are mediated by H1 receptors. While H2 receptors are similar to H1 receptors and widely distributed in the brain, their function has been less reported. In recent years, the role of H2 receptors in neuropsychiatric disorders has attracted considerable attention. Studies have found that H2 receptor deficiency may play a crucial role in the development of brain diseases such as schizophrenia, mania, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Parkinson's disease, and ischemic brain injury. H2 receptors may become drug targets for these neuropsychiatric disorders.
[0003] Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness affecting approximately 1% of the global population, imposing a heavy burden on society and the economy. Traditional views hold that abnormal glutamate synaptic transmission, associated with insufficient N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) function, causes positive symptoms (such as hallucinations and delusions), negative symptoms (such as loss of emotion and aphasia), and cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. However, the development of glutamate-based antipsychotic drugs faces many challenges. Further exploration of the glutamatergic neural mechanisms involved in schizophrenia and the search for novel drugs that regulate glutamatergic neural function are of great significance for the treatment of schizophrenia. Studies have found that the absence of histamine H2 receptors in glutamatergic neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex induces schizophrenia-like behavior, and overexpression of H2 receptors can improve schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice. Local intracerebral injection of the histamine H2 receptor agonists betahistazole and azamine can increase the activity of glutamatergic neurons and improve schizophrenia-like behaviors in animals; therefore, H2 receptor agonists have great potential for the treatment of schizophrenia. Meanwhile, preclinical studies have also found that H2 receptor agonists can improve brain diseases such as mania, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Parkinson's disease, and ischemic brain injury.
[0004] Several H2 receptor agonists have been reported so far. Based on their structural type, they can be mainly divided into arylethylamines and arylpropylguanidines (the main compound structures are shown below). Among them, the arylethylamine derivative Betazole, reported in J. Am. Med. Assoc., 1961, 175(10), 908-909, is used clinically for gastric acid secretion function testing. However, it has low selectivity for H1 receptors and cannot cross the blood-brain barrier.
[0005] Literature WO 91 / 10656 and Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1994, 4(16), 1913-1916 reported Amthamine and Amselamine, derived from the histamine H2 receptor partial agonist Dimaprit. They contain 2-aminothiazole and 2-aminoselenoazole cores, respectively, and have H2 receptor agonist activities of pD2 = 6.21 and pD2 = 6.41, respectively. They also show good selectivity for H1 (>1000). However, their pharmacokinetic results show that Amthamine and Amselamine cannot penetrate the brain and are currently only used as research tools.
[0006] The literature J. Med. Chem., 1992, 35, 3239-3246 reported the arylpropylguanidine H2 receptor agonists Impromidine and Arpromidine, with agonistic activities of pD2 = 7.80 and pD2 = 8.00, respectively. The literature ACS. Omega., 2018, 3, 2865-2882 reported the further developed biarylpropylguanidine derivatives UR-AK 381 and SK&F93082, which showed further enhanced H2 receptor agonistic activities, with agonistic activities of pEC... 50 = 8.11, pEC 50 = 7.98, but the strong basicity and polarity of the guanidine group prevent the molecule from crossing the blood-brain barrier.
[0007]
[0008] This invention uses the histamine H2 receptor agonist ansaramine as a lead agent, and optimizes the structure of the terminal amino group to enhance its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This effectively solves the shortcomings of existing H2 receptor agonists that cannot penetrate the brain, and is expected to be used in the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, mania, bulimia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, autism, Parkinson's disease, and ischemic brain injury. Summary of the Invention

[0014] The present invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the aforementioned aminothiazole compounds.
[0015] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to salts prepared by conventional methods, including but not limited to organic acid salts and inorganic acid salts.

It is worth noting that the pharmaceutical use of these compounds is not limited to the preparation of remedies for the aforementioned diseases.
[0018] The therapeutic mechanism of the drug includes: its active ingredient, aminothiazole compounds, increases the activity of glutamatergic neurons by reducing the current Ih mediated by hyperpolarized activated cyclic adenosine monophosphate (HCN) channels on glutamatergic neurons, thereby stimulating histamine H2 receptors. In particular, it has excellent blood-brain barrier permeability and can be used as a brain-penetrating histamine H2 receptor agonist in the preparation of drugs for brain diseases.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a novel class of aminothiazole-based histamine H2 receptor agonists that can penetrate the brain. These compounds and their derivatives exhibit significant agonistic activity against histamine H2 receptors, demonstrating good biological activity in both in vitro and in vivo biological evaluations. Several compounds show H2 receptor agonistic activity superior to or equivalent to that of arsamine, and exhibit excellent blood-brain barrier permeability in pharmacokinetic studies. Therefore, these compounds can be used as histamine H2 receptor agonists in the treatment of diseases related to histamine H2 receptors, including but not limited to the use in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, mania, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bulimia nervosa, autism, Parkinson's disease, and ischemic brain injury.

[0073] Example 19: Histamine H2 receptor agonist activity of aminothiazole compounds Detection Principles: cAMP Assay: Aminothiazole compounds activate adenylate cyclase through H2 receptor-mediated Gs protein signaling, increasing intracellular cAMP levels. The cAMP assay uses a fluorescence reporter system to monitor cAMP levels in real time, thus reflecting the agonistic activity of the compound on the H2 receptor-Gs pathway. BRET Assay: After aminothiazole compounds bind to the H2 receptor, β-arrestin (βarr) is recruited to the receptor. The BRET assay uses bioluminescent resonance energy transfer (BRET) technology to detect the interaction between the H2 receptor and β-arrestin in real time, quantitatively reflecting the degree to which the H2 receptor recruits βarr.
[0074] Detection methods: cAMP assay: HEK293T cells were transfected with H2 receptor and cAMP biosensor plasmid. After 24 h, the cells were seeded into 96-well plates. Overnight, the cells were starved with PBS buffer, incubated with equilibration buffer containing fluorescent substrate, and then serially diluted agonists were added. Fluorescence values were detected using a microplate reader. Data were processed to obtain a curve showing the change in fluorescence value with agonist concentration to reflect the G protein pathway agonist activity of aminothiazole compounds. BRET assay: HEK293T cells were transfected with H2 receptor fused with the RLUC8 tag at the C-terminus and β-arrestin1 plasmid fused with the Venus tag at the N-terminus. After 24 h, the cells were seeded into 96-well plates. Overnight, the cells were starved with D-HANKS buffer, incubated with equilibration buffer containing fluorescent substrate, and then serially diluted agonists were added. Fluorescence values in the 460-480 nm and 515-535 nm channels were detected using a microplate reader. The data were processed to obtain a curve showing the ratio of dual fluorescence values as a function of agonist concentration, which reflects the βarr pathway agonist activity of aminothiazole compounds.
[0075] Detection results: As shown in Table 2, most compounds exhibited strong H2 receptor agonist activity, and the activity of several compounds was equivalent to or better than that of ansaramine; some compounds showed G protein bias.

[0086] 2) Evaluation of blood-brain barrier permeability: Evaluation Methods: SD rats were used as experimental animals. They were fasted for 12 hours prior to the experiment, but allowed free access to water. The SD rats were weighed and divided into one control group and three to four experimental groups (n=3 per group) according to the drug administration time points. Each experimental group received the candidate compound via gavage at 30 mg / kg or 20 mg / kg. The control group received physiological saline instead. At the designated time points (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hours after drug administration), the animals were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate. 0.5 mL of blood was collected from the orbital cavity and added to an EP tube containing disodium EDTA (an anticoagulant). The tube was shaken and centrifuged at 6,000 rpm for 10 min to separate the plasma. After perfusion with physiological saline, brain tissue was dissected, labeled, and stored at -20°C. oCryopreservation for later testing. For plasma, 300 μL of ice-cold methanol containing 200 ng / ml internal standard was added to every 100 μL of plasma. The mixture was vortexed for 1 min, centrifuged at 14,500 rpm for 10 min, and repeated twice. The supernatant was then directly injected into the sample. For brain tissue, the tissue was weighed, minced, and homogenized with 3 times its weight of physiological saline. The process was performed on ice. 300 μL of methanol containing 200 ng / ml internal standard was added to every 100 ml of homogenate. The mixture was vortexed for 1 min, centrifuged at 14,500 rpm for 10 min, and repeated twice. The supernatant was then directly injected into the sample. The concentrations of the test substance in plasma and brain tissue were determined by LC / MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters after administration were calculated using a non-compartmental model in DAS 2.0 software. The pharmacokinetic curves were obtained using Graphpad Prism 9 software.
[0087] Evaluation results: Due to the strong basicity (pKa = 12.24) and low lipid solubility (clogP = 0.53) of the histamine H2 receptor agonist ansaramine, it was not detected in the brains of SD rats after gavage administration, indicating that ansaramine cannot cross the blood-brain barrier via gavage. However, compounds A-3, A15, A17, and A18, after structural optimization, showed significantly improved lipid solubility and excellent blood-brain barrier permeability.
[0088] like Figure 1 As shown in Table 7 (C and D), within 0.5–4 hours, the A-3 content in the rat brain gradually increased with the passage of time after drug administration, while the drug content in the plasma gradually decreased.
[0089] The brain-blood ratios at 0.5 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours were 2.2, 3.8, 7.6, and 17.7, respectively, demonstrating excellent blood-brain barrier permeability.

[0094] like Figure 3 As shown in Table 9 (C and D), within 1-4 hours, the A-17 content in the rat brain generally showed a gradually increasing trend with the passage of time after drug administration, while the drug content in the plasma showed a gradually decreasing trend.
[0095] The brain-blood ratios at 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours were 0.9, 3.2, and 4.3, respectively, demonstrating excellent blood-brain barrier permeability.
[0096] Table 9. Brain and blood concentrations and brain-blood ratio of compound A-17
[0097] like Figure 4 As shown in Table 10 (C and D), within 1-4 hours, the A-18 content in the rat brain remained relatively stable as the administration time progressed, while the drug content in the plasma showed a gradual decreasing trend.
[0098] The blood-brain ratios at 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours were 0.2, 0.4, and 0.3, respectively. Although the blood-brain ratios were low, they still showed a certain degree of blood-brain barrier permeability.
[0099] Table 10. Brain and blood concentrations and brain-blood ratio of compound A-18
[0100] In addition, the blood-brain ratio of several representative aminothiazole compounds was tested at administration times of 0.5 h and 2 h. The results are shown in Table 11. The aminothiazole compounds A-1, A-2, A-7, A-9, and A-14, after structural optimization, showed improved lipid solubility and were able to cross the blood-brain barrier, exhibiting good blood-brain ratios at 0.5 h and 2 h.

[0102] Therefore, the compounds described in this invention, while maintaining histamine H2 receptor agonist activity, also have excellent blood-brain barrier permeability, and can be used as histamine H2 receptor agonists in the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases related to histamine H2 receptors, including but not limited to the treatment of schizophrenia, mania, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bulimia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, autism, Parkinson's disease, ischemic brain injury and other diseases.
[0103] Example 21: Pharmacodynamic evaluation of preferred active compounds 1) Pharmacodynamic evaluation of schizophrenia Evaluation method: A chronic MK-801 (0.2 mg / kg / d, 7 days)-induced schizophrenia drug research model was used, and two different doses of compound A-3 were administered by gavage, followed by evaluation of schizophrenia-related behaviors.
[0104] Evaluation results: MK-801 can induce schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice, such as increased activity in the open field test, decreased social novelty preference in the three-box test, and weakened nesting ability in the nesting test. Figure 5 AD). Compared with the MK-801 model group, the A-3 treatment group showed a significant decrease in motor activity. Figure 5 A, B), increased preference for unfamiliar mice ( Figure 5 C), Improved nest-building ability ( Figure 5 D). The above results indicate that administration of A-3 can improve behaviors associated with positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as MK-801-induced hypermotility and social avoidance, suggesting that A-3 may be a potential drug for the treatment of schizophrenia.
[0105] 2) Pharmacodynamic evaluation of mania Evaluation methods: Amphetamine (Amph) and sleep deprivation are animal models for inducing manic-like behavior in mice. Mice were administered different doses of compound A-3 via gavage after intraperitoneal injection of Amph (3.5 mg / kg) or 24-hour sleep deprivation, and behavioral changes in the open field were evaluated.
[0106] Evaluation results: Intraperitoneal injection of Amph induced hyperactivity in mice, manifested as a significant increase in movement distance and duration. This phenotype could be reversed by the classic antimanic drug Li2CO3 (200 mg / kg, ig). Figure 6 A, B). Compound A-3 significantly reduced hyperactivity in mice at doses of 0.1 mg / kg and above, exhibiting a dose-dependent improvement in the range of 0.1–0.3 mg / kg. Figure 6 A, B). Sleep deprivation induced increased activity in mice during the open field test, and this phenotype could be reversed by the classic antimanic drug Li2CO3 (A, B). Figure 6 C, D). Compound A-3 at doses of 0.1 mg / kg and above can significantly reduce total distance and speed of movement (C, D). Figure 6 C, D).
