Description

Pyridine compounds as SARM1 enzyme activity inhibitors and their applications Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to compounds that can be used to inhibit SARM1 enzyme activity and the use of these compounds in treating and / or preventing neurodegenerative or neurological diseases or conditions associated with SARM1 enzyme activity. Background Art

[0002] Neurodegenerative diseases are a class of diseases that can severely harm humans, causing devastating damage, such as progressive neuronal cell death. Among the primary neurodegenerative diseases, known are central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington's disease, as well as peripheral nervous system diseases such as diabetes. While most are associated with aging, the incidence of these diseases increases with age, although some also occur in middle-aged individuals or even younger.

[0003] As a result of research on brain structure and function, the effects of neurotransmitters and neurotrophic factors have been gradually elucidated, but many local causes of neurodegeneration are still unclear. Only for Parkinson's disease, the relationship between this disease and the special neurotransmitter, i.e., dopamine, has been elucidated, and the precursor of dopamine, L-dopa, has been used as a medicine to alleviate neurological symptoms and restore neurological function. However, L-dopa cannot inhibit the development of neurodegeneration, and gradually loses its effect as the disease progresses, i.e., dopamine-based neuronal cell degeneration and defect. Similarly, Alzheimer's disease is also caused by the degeneration and defect of multiple nerve cells such as acetylcholine-based neurons, monoamine-based neurons, etc., and as medicines for the treatment of this disease, cholinesterase inhibitors have been put on the market or are being developed. However, the L-dopa for the treatment of Parkinson's disease is still limited to symptomatic treatment, to temporarily improve neurological symptoms.

[0004] Therefore, there is a lack of effective therapeutic drugs for neurodegenerative diseases.

[0005] Studies have found that axonal damage occurs in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, accidental injuries, and other neurological diseases. Axonal degeneration can cause structural necrosis and functional disorders in the peripheral nervous system, ultimately leading to acquired or hereditary degenerative diseases of the central nervous system.

[0006] Although there is currently no very effective pharmacological method that can accurately assess the weight of the morbidity caused by axonal degeneration, it has been found in histopathological studies that significant axonal damage degradation has been observed in the early stages of various neuropathies such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and peripheral neuropathy, indicating that axonal degeneration plays an important role in the development of neuropathy (Fischer et al., Neuro-degenerative Diseases, 2007, 4:431-442). Therefore, by weakening or even blocking axonal degeneration, maintaining the integrity of neuronal structure and function may be a therapeutic solution that benefits various nervous system diseases.

[0007] In the absence of effective therapeutic drugs for neurodegenerative diseases, the existing technology urgently needs to research and develop new compounds, especially small chemical molecules, including compounds that have effects on axonal degeneration. Summary of the Invention

[0008] After long-term research, the present inventors unexpectedly discovered a class of compounds with significant SARM1 enzyme activity inhibition, and found that the compounds can be used to treat or prevent diseases or conditions related to SARM1 enzyme activity, including improving axonal degeneration, and for treating or preventing neurodegenerative diseases and related conditions.

[0009] The SARM1 (Sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1) protein is composed of three domains: the ARM (Armadillo / HEAT repeat) domain at the nitrogen terminus, two tandem SAM (Sterile alpha motif) domains, and the TIR (Toll / Interleukin Receptor) domain at the carbon terminus. In addition, there is a mitochondrial localization signal peptide at the nitrogen terminus.

[0010] It is known that in wild-type neurons, axonal injury induces NAD + Depletion and axonal degeneration; SARM1 knockout inhibits axonal degeneration, and NAD + Maintained at normal levels, indicating that SARM1 promotes NAD + consumption, exacerbating axonal degeneration.

[0011] The Milbrandt team at the University of Washington School of Medicine prepared the TIR domain of SARM1 (SARM1-TIR) and found that it has NAD + Hydrolase activity. Further rigorous E. coli expression and purification experiments and cell-free expression systems were used to obtain high-purity SARM1-TIR, ultimately proving that SARM1-TIR can catalyze NAD + Produces adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose (ADPR) and cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose (cADPR).

[0012] SARM1 is a multifunctional signaling enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of multiple substrates to NAD + , NADP + and NA to generate signal molecules cADPR, ADPR and NAADP. In a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, SARM1 is activated, leading to NAD + Depletion of SARM1 can activate a new cell death mechanism; knocking out SARM1 can inhibit axonal degeneration and disease progression, and is therefore considered a potential drug target for related neurological diseases, including TBI, AD, CIPN, ASL, etc.

[0013] In the present disclosure, the inventors prepared full-length SARM1 for NAD enzyme activity experiments, and used it to screen and obtain compound molecules with enzyme activity inhibitory ability of the present invention.

[0014] Therefore, based on the above findings, in a first aspect, the present invention provides compounds of formula (I) that can be used as inhibitors of SARM1 enzyme activity:

[0071] When any variable occurs more than one time in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-3 R groups, then said group may be optionally substituted with up to three R groups, and at each occurrence R is independently selected from the definition of R. Furthermore, combinations of substituents and / or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

[0246] Preparation of test compounds:

[0247] The test compounds were prepared at a stock concentration of 200 uM or 10 mM (in DMSO) and further diluted to the desired compound concentration for in vitro SARM1 enzyme assays and inhibitor screening.

[0248] Expression and purification of SARM1 protein

[0249] (1) Plasmid construction

[0250] The gene sequence of SARM1 protein was amplified by PCR, and the PCR amplification product was constructed into the pcDNA3.1-HIS-C plasmid. The above construction was completed by Youbao Bio (Hunan, China).

[0251] (2) Plasmid transfection

[0252] HEK293 cells were cultured in a 10 cm dish using DMEM, and the next day the cells were transfected with 15 μg of pcDNA3.1-SARM1-HIS-C expression plasmid.

[0253] (3) Cell collection and protein extraction

[0254] 48 hours after transfection, cells were collected and the SARM1 protein expressed in the cells was obtained by diginotin cleavage for in vitro activity assays.

[0255] The cells were digested with trypsin-EDTA and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. The cells were washed once with PBS and then resuspended in PBS containing 100 μM diginotin (0.6 mL PBS / 10 cm2 of cells) for 5 minutes. The cells were then treated with trypan blue and observed under a microscope, indicating that >90% of the cells had been lysed. The cells were then centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes, and the supernatant containing SARM1 protein was collected.

[0256] Biological Activity Example 2: In vitro biochemical test for inhibition of SARM1 enzyme activity (IC 50 ):

[0257] First, 200 μM of the compound was added to a 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) solution containing 0.05 μg / ml SARM1, and then half was added to an equal volume of 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) solution containing 0.05 μg / ml SARM1 and mixed. The drug was diluted 6 times in this way, with final concentrations of 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125 μM, or 200, 50, 12.5, 3.125, 0.78, 0.195, 0.049 μM. The control group was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes without adding inhibitors.

[0258] Then, 50 μM NAD and 50 μM PC6 as substrates and 50 μM NMN as an activator were added to the SARM1 protein after incubation with the inhibitor and reacted at room temperature for 30 minutes. The concentrations of each component are the final concentrations in the reaction system.

[0259] During the reaction, PC6 fluorescence kinetics were monitored using a microplate reader, with excitation and emission wavelengths at 390 nm and 520 nm, respectively. The reaction rate was used to represent protein activity, and the 50% inhibitory concentration (50%) was calculated. Higher reaction rates indicate greater protein activity and lower compound inhibition efficiency.

[0260] The dosage curve of compounds inhibiting SARM1 NAD enzyme activity was prepared using the above method.

[0266] Mouse DRG explant culture

[0267] Dorsal root ganglia were dissected from two-month-old C57BL / 6 male mice and placed in a 35 mm culture dish containing pre-chilled HBSS buffer. Excess tissue from each dorsal root ganglion was removed using a scalpel and dissected into 2-3 explants. These were seeded into wells of a 96-well plate coated with 100 ng / mL Matrigel (Corning). 100 μL of DRG culture medium (Neurobasal medium (Gibco) containing 2% B-27 (Gibco), 1% GlutaMax (Gibco), and 10 ng / mL NGF (MCE)) was added and the plates were cultured in a 37°C incubator for one week. The medium was changed on the fourth day, and experiments were performed on the eighth day.

[0268] Axonal Wallerian degeneration assay

[0269] Dissolve 0.1 μL of 10 mM test compound in 100 μL DRG culture medium to prepare a new medium containing 10 μM test compound. The medium in the 96-well plate was aspirated and added to the new medium containing the test compound. The culture medium was then incubated with the DRG explants in a 37°C incubator for 2 hours to protect them. After incubation, axons were severed in an area adjacent to the tissue explant using a glass electrode. Brightfield images of axons in the same area were taken at 0 and 24 hours using a 20x microscope (Olympus). Axonal integrity was assessed using an in-house developed script.

[0270] The compounds of the present invention exhibited neuroprotective effects in an explant axon Wallerian degeneration assay at a concentration of 10 μM, and were classified according to the degree of protection: extreme protection (A) > 50% and partial protection (B) 20%-50%. The results are listed in Table 2 below.
