FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure belongs to the field of medicine. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a class of deuterated heterocyclic compound acting as a PDE4B inhibitor and use thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a compound represented by Formula I, or a tautomer, stereoisomer, hydrate, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. The compound exhibits favorable phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) inhibitory effect. BACKGROUND
[0003] PDE4 is a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase that is abundantly expressed in most cells and hydrolyzes cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) with a micromolar Km value. PDE4 molecules are involved in a variety of physiological processes, including brain function, mononuclear macrophage activation, neutrophil infiltration, vascular smooth muscle proliferation, and myocardial contraction. It has been reported that PDE4 serves as a target for various inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and rheumatoid arthritis. PDE4 consists of four subtypes: PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C and PDE4D, which are located on chromosomes 19p13.2, 1p31, 19p13.11, and 5q12, respectively. The PDE4 molecules exist in long, short and ultra-short forms based on their molecular size. An X-ray structure of the PDE4 molecule reveals that an active site of the PDE4 molecule can be divided into three sub-pockets: a divalent metal pocket that interacts with a phosphate portion of cAMP; two Q pockets that form hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with an inhibitor; and a solvation pocket (S pocket). PDE4 inhibitors occupy an active site through multiple interactions, including hydrophobic interactions with conserved phenylalanine and isoleucine, and hydrogen bonding with invariant glutamine. The high conservation and structural homology of the PDE4 catalytic domain poses a challenge for the discovery of selective inhibitors of the PDE4 subtypes.
[0004] Clinical studies of the PDE4 inhibitors have been limited by side effects, including nausea and vomiting, which are believed to result from inhibition of the PDE4D subtypes. Likewise, therapeutic indexes of second-generation PDE4 inhibitors, cilomilast and roflumilast, have also been limited by the side effects. Selective inhibition of the PDE4B subtypes may provide a way to achieve therapeutic efficacy while potentially mitigating these adverse events.
[0005] Currently, no drugs targeting a PDE4B inhibitory pathway for the treatment of numerous diseases including fibrosis have been marketed. Therefore, the development of novel compounds capable of inhibiting PDE4B activity is of positive significance for the treatment of such diseases. SUMMARY

[00286] Test Example 1: Enzyme Activity Inhibition Assay of Test Compounds Against PDE4B2 and PDE4D2
[00287] Inhibitory activities of the compounds of the present disclosure against PDE4B2 and PDE4D2 can be detected using AMP-Glo™ Assay kit (Promega, V5011). First, all compounds were prepared as stock solution at 20 or 25 mM in DMSO, followed by 3-fold serial dilution in DMSO on a compound plate to obtain 200xworking solutions. Meanwhile, 200xRolipram (2 mM) was prepared as a positive control, and 100% DMSO was served as a blank control. The compound plate was centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 1 minute. 20 nL of the compound working solution was transferred to a 384-well assay plate (Greiner, 784075) using Echo 550, and the plate was sealed and then centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 1 minute. PDE4B2 enzyme (BPS bioscience, 60042) and PDE4D2 enzyme (BPS bioscience, 60048) were diluted to 2*working solutions using ice-cold PDE assay buffer. 2 pL of 2*PDE4B2 (6.4 pg / pL) or 2*PDE4D2 (4 pg / pL) working solution was added to each well of the 384-well assay plate, and the plate was sealed and then equilibrated at room temperature for 10 minutes. Cyclic-3’,5’-AMP (sigma, A6882) was diluted to a 2xworking solution using PDE assay buffer, and 2 pL of 2xCyclic-3’,5’-AMP (2 pM) working solution was added to each well of the 384-well assay plate, followed by incubation at room temperature for 60 minutes. AMP was detected using the AMP-Glo™ Assay kit (Promega, V5011): 4 pL of AMP-Glo Reagent I was added to each well of the 384-well assay plate, followed by incubation at room temperature for 60 min; then 8 pL of AMP Detection Reagent was added to each well of the 384-well assay plate, followed by incubation at room temperature for 60 minutes. RLU (relative light unit) signals were read using an Envision 2105 instrument. An inhibition rate of the test compounds at different concentrations was calculated as follows: Inhibition (%)=(1-(RLU compound — RLU positive control) / (RLU blank control — RLU positive control))x100%. The experimental results were imported into GraphPad Prism software, and the IC50 value of each compound was calculated by curve fitting. The results demonstrated that the PDE4B2 IC50 value of each compound in the present disclosure was lower than its PDE4D2 IC50 value, indicating significant selectivity. This example exemplarily presents the data of some compounds, as detailed in Table 1.

[00289] The experimental results showed that the compounds of the present disclosure exhibited significant inhibitory activity against PDE4B and can act as a selective inhibitor of PDE4B.
[00290] Test Example 2: Pharmacokinetic Study
[00291] Pharmacokinetic studies were conducted on miniature pigs, and male miniature pigs weighing 10 kg to 12 kg was used. Three miniature pigs in each group were fasted and administered with the compound via oral gavage at 10 mg / kg. Blood samples were collected before the administration, and 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, and 24 hours after the administration. Three additional miniature pigs in each group were administered with the compound via intravenous injection at 3 mg / kg. Blood samples were collected before the administration, and 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, and 24 hours after the administration. Whole blood samples were placed in EDTA-K2 tubes for anticoagulation, then centrifuged (at 1,500g to 1,600 g) at 4 °C for 10 minutes to separate plasma. All the samples were stored at -80°C until analysis. 20 pL of plasma collected at each time point was mixed with 400 pL of acetonitrile-methanol aqueous solution containing internal standard. After vortex mixing, the mixture was centrifuged at 3,700 rpm for 10 minutes. 50 pL of the supernatant was added to 100 pL of water, followed by vortex-mixing. An appropriate amount of the mixed solution was subjected to LC-MS / MS analysis. The main plasma pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using a noncompartmental model.
[00292] The experimental results showed that the compounds of the present disclosure exhibited excellent pharmacokinetic properties.
[00293] Test example 3: Caco-2 Cell Permeability Assay
[00294] Caco-2 cells were seeded onto a 96-well Transwell plate at a density of 1x105 cells / cm2, and the culture medium was refreshed every 4 to 5 days until a confluent cell monolayer was formed on Day 28. Integrity of the Caco-2 cell monolayer was verified using HBSS solution containing 100 pM Lucifer Yellow. Then, the following assays were then carried out in the presence and absence of Elacridar (10 pM). For A-to-B (Apical-to-Basolateral) group, the test compound was added to a donor side of the 96-well Transwell plate at a final concentration of 2 pM, while buffer was added to a receiver side of the 96-well Transwell plate. Then, the plates were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO2 and saturated humidity for 2 hours. At an end of the incubation, samples were collected from both the donor side and the receiver side simultaneously. All the samples were mixed with acetonitrile containing the internal standard, centrifuged at 3,200g for 10 minutes, and the supernatants were collected. Then, a concentration of the compounds was detected by LC-MS / MS. The assay was carried out at the same conditions in B-to-A (Basolateral-to-Apical) group. Finally, Papp (10-6cm / sec) and an efflux rate were calculated in accordance with the following equations: apparent permeability coefficient (Papp)=(volume on receiver side) / (membrane area x incubation time) x (drug concentration on receiver side at end of incubation) / (drug concentration on donor side at start of incubation); and efflux rate (ER)=Papp(B-A) / Papp(A-B).
[00295] The experimental results showed that the compounds of the present disclosure exhibited excellent permeability.
[00296] Test Example 4: Inhibition Assay of Test Compounds on LPS-induced TNF-a Secretion by Human PBMCs
[00297] Fresh blood samples were diluted with an equal volume of PBS (BI, 02-024-01ACS) for later use. 15 mL of Lymphoprep (stem cell, 7851) was added into a 50 mL centrifuge tube, and 30 mL of diluted blood sample was slowly layered onto the Lymphoprep without disturbing the interface. The mixture was centrifuged at 1,000 g for 25 minutes at room temperature with the brake off. The buffy coat containing PBMCs was collected into a new 50 mL centrifuge tube, washed twice with 50 mL of DPBS, and centrifuged at 350 g for 10 minutes. The supernatant was discarded. The cells were resuspended in complete RPMI 1640 medium and adjusted to a density of 1.5x106 cells / mL. A 96-well cell culture plate was taken, and 100 pL of the PBMC suspension was added to each well. The test compounds were prepared as 4x working solutions at a series of concentrations using complete RPMI 1640 medium, and 50 pL of the compound working solution was added to the corresponding wells. Meanwhile, an LPS control group (without the compounds) and a DMSO control group (without LPS and the compound) were set. After the plate was incubated at 37°C in a CO2 incubator for 1 hour, 50 pL of LPS (at a final concentration 0.1 pg / mL) was added to the corresponding wells, and the plate was further incubated in an incubator for 4 hours. After the completion of the incubation, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation. The expression of TNF-a was measured using a Human TNF-a ELISA Kit (Cat: 555212) from BD Biosciences. An inhibition rate of the test compounds on the LPS-induced TNF-a secretion by the human PBMCs was calculated. Based on the inhibition rates at different concentrations of the compounds, IC50 values for the inhibition of the TNF-a secretion by the LPS-stimulated human PBMCs were measured by curve fitting using GraphPad Prism 8 software. This example exemplarily represents the data of some of the compounds, as detailed in Table 2.
