Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology and relates to a monoamine oxidase B inhibitor and its pharmaceutical uses. This monoamine oxidase B is a coumarin compound with high activity, high selectivity, high blood-brain barrier permeability, and low neurotoxicity. Background Technology
[0002] Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is a flavoprotein protease located on the outer membrane of mitochondria. In the central nervous system and peripheral tissues, it catalyzes the oxidative deamination of monoamine neurotransmitters (such as dopamine and serotonin). It exists in two subtypes: MAO-A and MAO-B. MAO-B is highly expressed in the striatum of the human brain and is a key enzyme in dopamine metabolism. Abnormally elevated MAO-B activity leads to decreased dopamine levels in the brain, which is one of the core pathological mechanisms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Meanwhile, MAO-B inhibitors can exert neuroprotective effects by reducing β-amyloid protein production and inhibiting neuroinflammation, and also have potential therapeutic value for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
[0003] Currently, MAO-B inhibitors used in clinical practice mainly include irreversible (such as rasagiline and selegiline) and reversible (such as salfedipine), but they still have certain limitations: irreversible inhibitors carry the risk of irreversible inhibition of enzyme activity with long-term use, and some drugs have side effects such as hypertensive crisis and insomnia; the activity and selectivity of reversible inhibitors still have room for improvement, and some compounds have problems such as high synthesis difficulty and insufficient drug-likeness. At the same time, most existing inhibitors have defects such as insufficient blood-brain barrier penetration ability and high neurotoxicity, making it difficult to act on the central nervous system efficiently and safely.
[0004] Coumarin compounds are a class of natural / synthetic derivatives with broad biological activities. Their core structure exhibits good enzyme binding affinity, making them an important framework for the development of MAO-B inhibitors. Various coumarin MAO-B inhibitors have been disclosed in the prior art, but the IC50 values of most compounds are limited. 50 MAO-B inhibitors with values above 100 nM exhibit insufficient inhibitory activity, and some compounds suffer from drawbacks such as poor MAO-A selectivity, cumbersome synthesis procedures, poor blood-brain barrier permeability, and high neurotoxicity, failing to meet clinical drug needs. Therefore, developing a novel MAO-B inhibitor with high activity, high selectivity, simple synthesis, good blood-brain barrier permeability, and low neurotoxicity has significant clinical value and market potential.
[0005] Patent CN116478143A discloses a donepezil derivative with structural formula (I), its preparation method, and its application. Compared with the prior art, the donepezil derivative with formula (I) has the effect of alleviating Alzheimer's disease. It works through multiple pathways, such as inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and inhibiting β-amyloid protein. It can be used as a multi-target drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and has great potential for widespread application. This patent discloses a donepezil derivative with structural formula (I). The compound was described, and its effects on alleviating Alzheimer's disease were disclosed, with the mechanism of action being the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and β-amyloid protein. However, it was not disclosed that this compound could act as a monoamine oxidase B inhibitor. Donepezil, its parent compound, is a drug used to treat Alzheimer's disease (senile dementia), and its core mechanism of action is the reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, which is not the inhibition of monoamine oxidase B.

[0044] Example 3: SH-SY5Y Neurocytotoxicity Experiment Experimental methods:
[0045] SH-SY5Y cells (human myeloid neuroblastoma cell line) are derived from human neuroblastoma cell lines. They express tyrosine hydroxylase, dopamine 2β2 hydroxylase and dopamine transporter, which are specific to catecholamine neurons. They have neuronal cytoplasmic processes. This cell line is widely used in the study of the pathogenesis of nervous system diseases.
[0046] Preparation of complete cell culture medium: The cells are cultured in DMEM high-glucose high-lipid medium. Take a 50ml sterile centrifuge tube, add 10% serum (5ml) and 1% penicillin-antibody (500μL), and then add DMEM medium to make up to 50ml to complete the preparation of complete culture medium.
[0047] Cell culture environment: Place the cells in a culture incubator with 95% air and 5% carbon dioxide, at a temperature of 37℃ and a humidity of 70%-80%.
[0048] The MTT assay was used to detect the cytotoxicity of the compound on SH-SY5Y cells. Frozen cells were removed from liquid nitrogen, thawed in a water bath, and then placed in culture dishes with an appropriate amount of DMEM complete medium. During cell culture, the medium was changed regularly (the red color in the culture medium faded), and the cells were passaged (the cell density in the culture dish was approximately 90%). Once a sufficient cell density was reached, 96-well plates were seeded. Before seeding, the cell suspension was counted using a hemocytometer, and the cell suspension was diluted to 0.7 million cells / ml. 100 μL of cell suspension was added to each well of the 96-well plate, and the plates were incubated for 12 hours.
[0049] Weigh appropriate amounts of the compound and the positive control drugs baicalein and donepezil. Dissolve them with a small amount of DMSO, then dilute with DMEM complete medium to 100 μM, 50 μM, and 25 μM. Discard the original medium. Add 200 μL of the prepared compound solution to each well of a 96-well plate. Add the solution directly to the blank control group. Incubate the 96-well plates in an incubator for 48 hours. After 48 hours, add 10 μL of MTT and wrap the plates with aluminum foil. Incubate in the dark for another 4 hours. Remove the 96-well plates, aspirate and discard the culture medium. Purple crystals will appear at the bottom of the wells. Dissolve the crystals in 150 μL of DMSO solution and measure the absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader. Calculate the cell viability using the formula: Cell viability = A1 / A0, where A1 is the absorbance value of the cells at each concentration, and A0 is the absorbance value of the blank control group.
[0050] The experimental results are shown in Table 2.
[0051]
[0052] Conclusion: Compound 3B is almost non-toxic at a concentration of 25 μM.
[0053] Example 4: Neuroprotective effect of compound 3B Experimental methods:
[0054] Compound 3B was prepared into solutions of different concentrations (0, 6.25, 12.5, and 25 μM) using a small amount of DMSO as a dissolving agent and complete cell culture medium as a solvent. After pretreating SH-SY5Y cells with 200 μL of the prepared compound 3B solution for 5 hours, the culture medium was discarded using a pipette, and then 200 μL of 25 μM Aβ solution was added. 1-42 Cells were incubated for 24 hours, and cell viability was evaluated using the MTT assay. Baicalein and donepezil (25 μM) were used as positive control compounds.
[0055] The experimental results are shown in Figure 1 .
[0056] according to Figure 1 The results show that, compared with untreated cells, cells treated with Aβ... 1-42 The cell viability after treatment decreased to 44%, while compound 3B exhibited good neuroprotective effects in the concentration range of 6.25-25 μM (6.25 μM: 60% ± 0.67; 12.5 μM: 63% ± 1.56; 25 μM: 66% ± 0.67), and this protective effect increased with increasing compound concentration. Furthermore, this neuroprotective effect was slightly higher than that of the positive control compounds baicalein (60% ± 0.89) and donepezil (60% ± 0.22). These findings strongly suggest that compound 3B can effectively inhibit Aβ.1-42 It reduces toxicity and better protects nerve cells.
[0057] Example 5: In vivo toxicity test in mice
[0058] Twelve healthy, newly adult Kunming mice, weighing approximately 18-22g, were selected, with an equal number of males and females. The mice were divided into experimental and control groups and pre-fed in an SPF-grade animal facility for 6 days to allow them to better adapt to the new environment. After 6 days, the mice were fasted but allowed free access to water overnight. The mice were then weighed, and compound 3B was administered to the experimental group at a dose of 2 g / kg. Compound 3B was then prepared into a suspension at a concentration of 30 μL / g using physiological saline. The control group was administered the corresponding dose of physiological saline via gavage. Mice mortality was observed at 6 h, 48 h, and 30 days. During this period, the mice's behavior, motor function, nervous system, respiratory system, digestive and absorptive systems, and skin and fur were examined and recorded. The results of the acute toxicity test in mice are shown in Table 3.
[0059]
[0060] Based on the results in the table, we can draw the following conclusions: Regarding behavior and motor function, mice showed reduced activity initially after administration, but subsequently returned to normal, and were able to quickly receive and respond to appropriate stimuli. Regarding the nervous system, mice exhibited no abnormal movements and were able to react to sudden sounds with a startle reflex. Regarding the respiratory system, observations of respiration and respiratory rate revealed normal breathing and a normal respiratory rate. Regarding the digestive and absorptive system, mice maintained a normal diet after administration, and their weight gradually increased. Furthermore, no abnormalities were observed in the skin and fur of the mice after administration. In conclusion, compound 3B is non-toxic to mice at a dose of 2 g / kg.
