Description
PYRIDOTHIOPHENE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID DERIVATIVE, PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR AND USE THEREOF TECHNICAL FIELDThe present disclosure relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to a pyridothiophene-2-carboxylic acid derivative, a preparation method therefor, and use thereof. BACKGROUNDBranched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase kinase (BCKDK) is associated with various human diseases. In addition to regulating the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), BCKDK can also enhance MEK / ERK signaling associated with malignant proliferation of cancer.BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) are essential amino acids in the human body, accounting for about 40% of the essential amino acids in healthy subjects. They must be obtained through a balanced diet and play an important role in nutrient sensing and cell signaling.Branched-chain amino acids are toxic in excess, but are necessary for protein synthesis and cell signaling processes. Branched-chain amino acids are converted by the branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT) into the α-keto acid form: α-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC / ketoleucine), 2-keto-3-methylpentanoic acid (KMV / ketoisoleucine), and α-ketoisopentanoic acid (KIV / ketovaline). Branched-chain keto acids (BCKAs) are then oxidized and decarboxylated by a branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex. This complex consists of multiple copies of BCKDH Ela / p tetramer, BCKDH E2, and BCKDH E3 subunits. This complex is regulated by the inhibitory phosphorylation mediated by a BCKDH kinase (BCKDK), and the same phosphorylation site is dephosphorylated by a phosphatase PPM1K. Inhibiting complex phosphorylation promotes BCKDH activity, thereby promoting irreversible catabolism of BCKAs (Lynch CJ, Adams SH: Branched-chain amino acids in metabolic signalling and insulin resistance. Nat Rev Endocrinol 2014, 10:723-36.). The absence of BCKDK in mice confirms this regulation, as BCKDK-deficient mice exhibit enhanced BCKDH activity in various tissues (Joshi MA, Jeoung NH, Obayashi M, Hattab EM, Brocken EG, Liechty EA, Kubek MJ, Vattem KM, Wek RC, Harris RA: Impaired growth and neurological abnormalities in branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase kinase-deficient mice. Biochem J 2006, 400:153-62.).Insufficient catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) is associated with insulin resistance, diabetes, congenital heart defect, and heart failure. Circulating branched-chain amino acids and their breakdown products, branched-chain α-keto acids (BCKAs), are also indicators of the onset of diabetes. The α-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex is a rate-limiting step in the breakdown and clearance of branched-chain amino acids; while BCKDK phosphorylates E1α subunits of BCKDH, thereby inhibiting its function.In recent years, although there have been some early studies related to BCKDK, such as WO2020056155A, WO2020261144A, WO2020261205A, WO2022175959A, and WO2023100061A, there remains a need to develop novel and effective BCKDK inhibitors for the treatment of diseases or disorders associated with elevated BCAA concentrations.
