Abstract
Description
Peptide epoxy ketone compound and preparation method and application thereof TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly relates to a peptide epoxy ketone derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and application thereof in pharmacodynamics. BACKGROUND
[0002] The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is the major pathway for specific protein degradation in eukaryotes and is involved in almost all life processes in cells. The proteasome is a highly complex supramolecular complex composed of 20S catalytic core particles (CPs) and 19S regulatory particles (RPs). The 20S proteasome is a 700 kDa cylindrical-shaped multi-catalytic protease complex containing 28 subunits organized into four rings. In yeast and other eukaryotes, seven different a subunits form the outer ring and seven different β subunits make up the inner ring. The a subunits serve as binding sites for the 19S (PA700) and 11S (PA28) regulatory complexes, as well as a physical barrier to the internal proteolytic chamber formed by the two β subunit rings. Thus, in vivo, the proteasome is thought to exist as a 26S particle (26S proteasome). The 20S complex contains three active subunits (β1 with chymotrypsin-like activity, β2 with trypsin-like activity, and β5 with chymostatin-like activity). In vivo experiments have shown that inhibition of the β5 subunit of the 20S complex of the proteasome can easily be correlated with inhibition of the 26S proteasome. Cleavage of the amino-terminal prosequences of the active site β subunits during particle formation exposes the amino-terminal threonine residue that serves as a catalytic nucleophile. The subunits responsible for catalytic activity in the proteasome thus have an amino-terminal nucleophilic residue, and these subunits belong to the N-terminal nucleophile hydrolase family (where the nucleophilic N-terminal residue is, for example, Cys, Ser, Thr, and other nucleophilic moieties). This family includes, for example, penicillin G acylase (PGA), penicillin V acylase (PVA), glutamine PRPP amidotransferase (GAT), and bacterial glycosyl asparaginases. In mammals, most cells and tissues express a "constitutive proteasome". When cells are stimulated by IFN-γ, TNF-α, oxidative stress, inflammatory insults, etc., the β1i / low molecular weight protein (LMP2), β2i / multi-catalytic endopeptidase complex 1 (MECL-1), and β5i / LMP7 subunits are induced intracellularly, replacing the β1, β2, and β5 subunits in the constitutive proteasome, and assembling into a new proteasome. Because the β1i, β2i, and β5i subunits enhance the ability of the proteasome to generate peptides that bind to major histocompatibility complex 1 (MHC-1), the newly assembled proteasome is called the immunoproteasome. This substitution of subunits also changes the cleavage specificity of the 20S proteasome, with decreased caspase-like activity and increased chymotrypsin- and trypsin-like activities of the immunoproteasome, resulting in more peptides that can bind to MHC-1.
[0003] The basic expression of immunoproteasome in most non-immune cells is very low, and the expression is disordered in various autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis. Immunoproteasome inhibitors selectively inhibit the activity of immunoproteasome, and play a therapeutic role by affecting antigen presentation function, inhibiting T cell activity and related cytokine secretion to selectively block the expression of immunoproteasome subunits, so that immunoproteasome is considered as a therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases. ONX-0914 is the first reported tripeptide epoxy ketone β5i selective immunoproteasome inhibitor. Cells exposed to ONX0914 for a long time can inhibit the expression of LMP2 and LMP7, and block autoimmunity. KZR-616 is a selective immunoproteasome inhibitor developed on the basis of ONX0914, and has better solubility than ONX-0914. It is the only immunoproteasome inhibitor for injection currently entering clinical trials. Immunoproteasome inhibitors are expected to become a new choice for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to develop immunoproteasome inhibitors with higher selectivity as less toxic therapeutic drugs. SUMMARY

The proteasome is human red blood cell 20S proteasome, which is purchased from Enzo (BML-PW8720-0050). The buffer solution is purchased from Enzo (BML-KI340-0020). The experimental system is 16 μL, in which the substrate is 8 μL, the proteasome is 4 μL (0.8 ng), the final concentration is 50 μM, the drug (inhibitor) is 4 μL, and the final concentration is 1 × 10 -5 M, and the last concentration is 0 M, and the actual configuration concentration is 4 × 10 -9 M. The specific experimental process is as follows: -5 M ~ 9.75 × 10 -9 M.

Most of the compounds have strong activity inhibition effect on LMP7 (β5i) subunit at 1 μM concentration.
[0233] Table 1 Inhibition rates of compounds 37-54 and KZR-616 on LMP7 (β5i) subunit enzyme activity
[0234] The key to the development of selective immunoproteasome inhibitors is the high selectivity to immunoproteasome, and the consideration of the activity inhibition of active subunits on immunoproteasome, so as to reduce adverse reactions while achieving good efficacy. Subsequently, using the above (I) intracellular immunoproteasome inhibition activity test scheme, the IC 50 values of compound 37 on LMP7 (β5i) subunit and MECL-1 (β2i) subunit were further tested, and the IC 50 values of compound 37 on β5 and β2 subunit enzyme activity were tested using the above (II) tissue type proteasome inhibition activity test scheme, and the corresponding selectivity (β5 / β5i, β2 / β2i) was calculated. The results are shown in Table 2. Compound 37 has good inhibition effect on LMP7 (β5i) subunit and MECL-1 (β2i) subunit. Compared with KZR-616, compound 37 has lower inhibition activity on β5 and β2 subunits, and shows better selectivity.

[0236] II. In vivo efficacy of compounds 37-54 in mouse ulcerative colitis
[0237] Ulcerative colitis is a chronic nonspecific, non-infectious, inflammatory intestinal disease mainly involving the colorectal mucosa and submucosa, which can highly affect the patient's life and lead to long-term complications. The dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse intestinal inflammation model is the most widely used chemical-induced mouse ulcerative colitis model. By dissolving DSS in drinking water, acute ulcerative colitis or chronic colitis is induced, mouse intestinal epithelial cells are damaged, non-specific immune cells release cytokines, and ultimately the integrity of the mucosal barrier is destroyed, and animals show obvious weight loss, loose stools, blood in the stool and granulocyte infiltration, which is extremely similar to human ulcerative colitis in clinical symptoms and pathological characteristics.
[0238] 1) In vivo efficacy of compounds 37-54 in mouse ulcerative colitis by intraperitoneal injection
[0239] 6-7 weeks old female C57BL / 6 mice (purchased from Jiangsu Huacheng Xinnuo Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.) were randomly divided into groups (6 mice per group), including compound 37 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 38 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 39 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 40 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 41 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 42 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 43 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 44 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 45 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 46 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 47 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 48 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 49 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 50 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 51 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 52 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 53 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), compound 53 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), positive drug Mesalazine oral treatment group (100 mg / kg), positive drug KZR-616 intraperitoneal injection treatment group (15 mg / kg), model (ulcerative colitis model group, DSS), and blank (normal control group).
[0240] Preparation of test compounds and KZR-616: The drug was weighed, dissolved in PEG400, and then physiological saline was added to a concentration of 3 mg / mL (PEG400:H2O = 1:9, V / V). Mesalazine was directly dissolved in physiological saline to a final concentration of 10 mg / mL.
[0241] Each group of mice continuously and freely drank 3% DSS solution to construct an acute ulcerative colitis model, and the treatment group was treated with compounds once a day. The normal control group of mice normally drank sterile water. During the entire experiment, the state and blood in stool of the mice were observed every day. After 9 days, the mice were euthanized, dissected, and the colon tissue was taken to measure the length of the distance from the anus to the ileocecal junction, and the results were recorded and plotted.
[0242] The results showed that the colon length of mice in the acute ulcerative colitis group was significantly shorter than that of the normal control group (Figure 1). This indicates that the mouse model of acute ulcerative colitis was successfully established. Among them, mice in the treatment groups of compounds 39, 41-47, and 53 were in poor condition and died 3-6 days after administration. Mice in the other compound treatment groups were in good condition during the treatment period. The treatment results showed that mice in the treatment groups of compounds 37 and 51 had the longest average colon length, exhibiting superior in vivo efficacy compared to Mesalazine and KZR-616.
[0243] 2) Oral in vivo efficacy of compound 37 in mice with ulcerative colitis
[0244] Six- to seven-week-old female C57BL / 6 mice were randomly divided into four groups (n=6 per group): Modle (ulcerative colitis model group, DSS), 37 (25 mg / kg, po, qd) oral treatment group (25 mg / kg), 37 (50 mg / kg, po, qd) oral treatment group (50 mg / kg), Mesalazine (100 mg / kg, po, qd) positive control group (100 mg / kg), KZR-616 (10 mg / kg, ip, qd) positive control group (10 mg / kg), and Blank (normal control group). Preparation of the test compound: Compound 37 was weighed, dissolved in PEG400, and then physiological saline was added to concentrations of 2.5 mg / mL and 5 mg / mL (PEG400:H2O = 2:8, V / V). Preparation of KZR-616: Weigh the drug, dissolve it in PEG400, and then add physiological saline to a concentration of 2 mg / mL (PEG400:H2O = 1:9, V / V). Preparation of Mesalazine: Dissolve Mesalazine directly in physiological saline to a final concentration of 10 mg / mL.
[0245] In the establishment of an acute ulcerative colitis model, mice were given free access to 3% DSS solution continuously, while the therapeutic compound was administered once daily. Mice in the normal control group received sterile water normally. Throughout the experiment, the mice were weighed daily, and their condition and fecal bleeding were recorded. After 9 days, the mice were euthanized, dissected, and colonic tissue was taken and laid flat on white paper. The distance from the anus to the ileocecal junction was measured, recorded, and plotted.
[0246] The results showed that from day 5 onwards, all mice in the untreated ulcerative colitis group developed severe diarrhea and bloody stools. Simultaneously, the mice exhibited significant lethargy, loss of appetite, drowsiness, and disheveled, dull fur. Compared to the normal control group, the colon length in the acute ulcerative colitis group was significantly shortened (Figure 2). These results indicate that the acute ulcerative colitis mouse model was successfully established.
[0247] As shown in Figure 2, the treatment results show that the treatment group compound 37 has good oral treatment effect, and the colon length of the 50mg / kg dose group shows a pharmacodynamic effect comparable to that of the KZR-616 intraperitoneal injection treatment group at a dose of 50mg / kg, indicating that the compound of the present application can be developed into an oral preparation in the future, which has more important convenience for taking than KZR-616, and has important clinical significance.
[0248] Three, in vivo efficacy of mouse systemic lupus erythematosus
[0249] Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease, which is more common in women of childbearing age. Its etiology is not very clear, and it is speculated that it may be related to the immune dysfunction caused by the combined action of genetic factors and environmental factors. Its course is repeated and involves various systems of the body, and the most vulnerable is the kidney. Studies have shown that lupus nephritis is the main factor leading to renal failure and death in SLE patients. The commonly used SLE model internationally is female SPF MRL / lpr mice, which is also the most classic animal model.
[0250] MRL / Lpr mice, as a representative animal model for studying the pathogenesis of lupus, spontaneously develop lupus symptoms similar to human disease at about 16 weeks of age. Due to the absence of the Fas gene, these mice have a lymphoproliferative gene, resulting in a decrease in T cell mortality, lymph node enlargement, and failure of autoreactive lymphocytes to be cleared through the apoptosis pathway, thereby producing autoimmune disease symptoms, which are very similar to human SLE. The lupus-like phenotype of the MRL / Lpr model is mainly manifested as lymph node enlargement, splenomegaly, production of autoantibodies, and immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis, with increased urinary protein and plasma urea nitrogen.
[0251] 1) Experimental scheme
[0252] The systemic lupus erythematosus model mice were MRL / lpr female mice, 4-6 weeks old, 18-20g. The new generation of immunoproteasome inhibitor KZR-616 was used as a positive control. The model mice were divided into 5 groups, 7 in each group. They were model control group, compound 37 oral group (50mg / kg), compound 37 oral group (100mg / kg), compound 37 intraperitoneal injection group (10mg / kg), KZR-616 intraperitoneal injection group (10mg / kg). The body weight, skin lesions and lymph nodes were observed and scored regularly. Urine was collected before and after drug administration to detect urinary protein. After the experiment, the mice were dissected, and the spleen, liver and kidney were weighed to calculate the spleen, liver and kidney indices, and the splenomegaly, hepatomegaly and nephromegaly were investigated.
[0253] 2) Dosing regimen
[0254] The intragastric administration scheme is as follows: a certain amount of compound 37 is accurately weighed into a centrifuge tube, and then dissolved in a certain volume of polyethylene glycol (400), after ultrasonic dissolution and dissolution, normal saline is added (polyethylene glycol: normal saline = 20:80, v:v), the final concentration of the compound in the 50mg / kg group is 5mg / mL, and the final concentration of the compound in the 100mg / kg group is 10mg / mL, and the intragastric administration is 10μL / g of body weight, and the administration frequency is once a day.
[0255] The intragastric administration scheme is as follows: a certain amount of compound 37 is accurately weighed into a centrifuge tube, and then dissolved in a certain volume of polyethylene glycol (400), after ultrasonic dissolution and dissolution, normal saline is added (polyethylene glycol: normal saline = 20:80, v:v), the final concentration of the compound in the 50mg / kg group is 5mg / mL, and the final concentration of the compound in the 100mg / kg group is 10mg / mL, and the intragastric administration is 10μL / g of body weight, and the administration frequency is once a day.
[0256] 3) Body weight change rate
[0257] The body weight change of each group is shown in FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the body weight of the KZR-616 group decreased significantly, and after 2 times of administration per week for 4 consecutive weeks, in vivo toxicity occurred. The body weight of the compound 37 oral and injection groups decreased slightly. In addition, during the entire treatment period, one mouse in the KZR-616 group died at the 2nd week and the 4th week, respectively, while no death occurred in the compound 37 injection group and the 100mg / kg oral treatment group, and the mice were in good condition. These results show that the compound 37 has good in vivo efficacy and safety compared to KZR-616.
[0258] 4) Skin lesion score
[0259] The scoring system is as follows: 1) skin redness, bleeding; 2) hair loss and skin dryness; 3) edema; 4) epidermal shedding / erosion; 5) lichen sclerosus plaques. The score for each item is as follows: normal = 0 points; mild = 1 point; moderate = 2 points; severe = 3 points. The severity of skin damage is determined according to the total score of each evaluation symptom.
[0260] Skin lesion scores were performed periodically before and after administration, and the results are shown in Table 3. The results indicate that intraperitoneal injection of compound 37 at 10 mg / kg effectively controlled the severity of skin lesions without causing mouse mortality, demonstrating significantly better therapeutic efficacy than the KZR-616 injection group (10 mg / kg). Similarly, the oral administration group also showed significant therapeutic effects, further indicating that the compound described in this invention can be developed into an oral formulation with greater convenience of administration compared to KZR-616, and has significant clinical implications.
[0261] Table 3. Skin lesion scores of compound 37 in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus. Note 1: Compared with the healthy control group: #### P<0.0001; 2. Compared with the model control group: **** P<0.0001.
[0262] 5) Urine protein test
[0263] In acidic media, the pyrogallol red-molybdate complex (CBB) binds to the protonated basic amino groups of proteins, causing a color change from brown to blue, with a maximum absorption peak at 595 nm. The increase in absorbance at 595 nm is directly proportional to the protein concentration in the sample. The protein concentration in the sample is determined based on this absorbance change. The Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute urine protein quantification kit (catalog number: C035-2-1, CBB method) was used. The CBB working solution of the kit was diluted: CBB reagent: double-distilled water = 1:4, i.e., a 5-fold dilution. Specific testing methods are shown in Table 4.
[0264] Table 4. Methods for measuring urinary protein
[0265] After each group is prepared, mix thoroughly, let stand for 5 minutes, measure the absorbance of each tube at a wavelength of 595 nm and a light path of 1 cm using double-distilled water, and calculate the urinary protein concentration in the sample according to the following formula:
[0266] The urine protein of each group of mice was determined before and after administration, and the results are shown in Table 5. The results show that at the end of treatment (6W), the urine protein level of the compound 37 injection group (10 mg / kg) was significantly reduced relative to the KZR-616 injection group (10 mg / kg); in addition, unexpectedly, the compound 37 oral group (100 mg / kg) also significantly reduced the urine protein level relative to the KZR-616 injection group (10 mg / kg). And similarly, the above results further indicate that compound 37 has better in vivo efficacy and is expected to be developed into an oral immunological protein inhibitor, which has more important convenience for taking relative to KZR-616, and has important clinical significance.

Compared with the model control group: *** P <0.001, **** P <0.0001; 3. Compound 37 oral group (100 mg / kg) compared with KZR-616 injection group (10 mg / kg), P <0.0001; 4.

[0268] Four, in vivo efficacy of mice with rheumatoid arthritis
[0269] (I) In vivo efficacy of the compound
[0270] 1. Experimental method
[0271] Chronic inflammatory pain is one of the most common types of clinical pain conditions. Adjuvant arthritis (AA) is an animal experimental model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) recognized at home and abroad, and is also one of the ideal animal models for studying early immune disorders. The 24-hour AA model can observe obvious symptoms and immune and pathological reactions, such as redness, swelling, heat of the affected joint, and immune dysfunction, etc. The secondary reaction period is caused by immune inflammation caused by immune dysfunction, accompanied by long-term chronic pain. In this experiment, single male Wistar rats were used to subcutaneously inject complete Freund's adjuvant into the right toe to activate the body's specific immune system and cause damage to its own tissues, and to establish a Wistar rat adjuvant arthritis model. After the model was successfully established, rats with a total score of 2 or more on the arthritis index score of both hind limbs were selected as model rats. According to the score, the rats were divided into a model control group, a test drug 37 oral group (50 mg / kg, 100 mg / kg), and a celecoxib group (50 mg / kg). Each group had 8 rats. Oral administration was performed once a day for 14 consecutive days. The toe volume measuring instrument was used to detect the toe swelling degree before administration, 7 days and 14 days after administration (3 hours after administration). The drug efficacy was evaluated by calculating the difference between the rat foot swelling on day 0 and the foot swelling after 7 days and 14 days of administration. The smaller the difference, the lower the degree of foot swelling, and the better the drug efficacy.
[0272] 2、Experimental results
[0273] The results are shown in Table 6. After 7 days of administration, the compound 37 oral 100 mg / kg group can significantly alleviate the swelling degree of the primary lesion right foot, which is comparable to the positive control celecoxib, and also has good therapeutic effect on the secondary lesion left foot. After 14 days of continuous administration, the compound 37 oral 50 mg / kg group and the 100 mg / kg group have significant therapeutic effect on the primary lesion right foot, and the 100 mg / kg group is more effective in relieving foot swelling and better than the celecoxib group. For the secondary lesion left foot, the compound 37 oral 100 mg / kg group also has good therapeutic effect. These results show that compound 37, as a new type of oral immunoproteasome inhibitor, has good therapeutic effect on rheumatoid arthritis, and the high-dose group of compound 37 shows better in vivo efficacy than celecoxib.

[0275] (ii) In vivo efficacy of pharmaceutically acceptable salts
[0276] 1、Model preparation
[0277] Preparation of immunogen: Under sterile conditions at 4℃, Immunization Grade Bovine Type II Collagen (CII, 2 mg / mL) was mixed with an equal volume of Freund's incomplete adjuvant IFA on ice (1:1) to emulsify (i.e. 1 mg CII per 1 mL), and then injected with a syringe double-push for 20 min, and prepared immediately before use.
[0278] The rats were injected intradermally with 0.2 mL of the mixture (0.1 mL of the mixture at the root of each hind limb) at the root of the tail for 2-3 cm, and then immunized again after 7 days. Each rat was injected with 0.2 mL of the 1:1 emulsion of CII and IFA. The blank control group was injected with an equal volume of normal saline.
[0279] 2. Grouping and administration regimen
[0280] After the second immunization, the rats were observed daily for the onset of the disease. Rats with a total score of 2 or more in the hind limbs (about 14 days after the first immunization) were randomly grouped according to the foot volume for administration. After grouping, the rats were immediately administered by gavage or subcutaneous injection, once a day for 14 days, or three times a week for two weeks. The end of the test was 14 days after administration. The grouping and administration information is as follows:
