Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical and pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to an aromatic compound, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located at the base of the neck. It releases hormones called thyroid hormones, which control the body's basal metabolism and thus regulate how our bodies use energy. Thyroid hormones regulate important bodily functions, including: breathing, heart rate, the central and peripheral nervous systems, weight, muscle strength, menstrual cycle, body temperature, cholesterol levels, and more.

[0003] Thyroid hormone receptor (THR) receptors belong to a nuclear receptor superfamily that can be induced to express by thyroid hormone T3. The major THR receptor subtypes, THRα-1, THRβ-1, and THRβ-2, are primarily responsible for mediating the effects of thyroid hormones and are crucial for human growth, development, and metabolism. THRβ-1 is widely expressed in all tissues, but is particularly prominent in the brain, thyroid gland, liver, and kidneys, while THRβ-2 is expressed in a tissue-specific manner mainly in the anterior pituitary gland, hypothalamus, retina, developing brain, and inner ear.

[0004] The physiological effects of thyroid hormones influence almost every organ system. Clinically, these effects manifest as alterations in lipid metabolism and influences on cardiovascular development. Thyroid hormones have beneficial effects such as lowering cholesterol, improving lipid profiles, and treating obesity. Thyroid hormone analogs can improve lipid profiles by lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol reuptake, stimulating reverse cholesterol transport, and lowering plasma triglycerides.

[0005] Since THRβ-1 is an isoform of the major thyroid hormone receptor in the liver, the suppression of normal THRβ-1 activity by its mutants suggests a possible metabolic disorder. Furthermore, thyroid hormones also regulate apolipoprotein B, a major protein component of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Some studies have shown that, in addition to stimulating lipid oxidation pathways, thyroid hormones inhibit lipid droplets as a lipid storage pathway and promote the partial secretion of lipid droplets as liposomes of VLDL.

[0006] Studies have shown that patients with hypothyroidism had a significantly higher incidence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and advanced fibrosis compared to patients with completely normal thyroid function (NASH, 52.4% vs 37.2%; advanced fibrosis, 21.0% vs 10.6%; P < 0.01). Furthermore, patients with subclinical hypothyroidism had a significantly higher incidence of NASH and advanced fibrosis compared to patients with low thyroid function (NASH, 57.6% vs 48.8%; advanced fibrosis, 25.4% vs 17.9%; P < 0.01). Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were significantly higher in NASH patients than in the normal control group. In addition, thyroid function tests confirmed several thyroid dysfunctions in patients with chronic liver disease. Moreover, hypothyroidism was not associated with NASH or other known metabolic risk factors, indicating that hypothyroidism is an independent risk factor for NASH.

[0007] If the harmful effects of excessive thyroid hormones can be separated from their potential beneficial effects in lowering cholesterol and blood lipids, it is hoped that new, potent drugs can be developed. Considering the roughly three-stage progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and NASH: fat deposition, hepatitis-hepatocyte death / apoptosis, and fibrosis / cirrhosis, treatment strategies should include at least three aspects: reducing or eliminating hepatic fat deposition; controlling and suppressing persistent inflammation in the liver area / reducing hepatocyte death; and preventing the progression of fibrosis or degrading existing fibrosis / extracellular matrix to reverse the fibrotic process. Of these three aspects, reducing or eliminating fat deposition and controlling and suppressing persistent inflammation / reducing hepatocyte death are of paramount importance. NAFLD / NASH is fundamentally a metabolic syndrome closely related to lipid metabolism disorders, insulin resistance / type 2 diabetes, etc. Simultaneously, these metabolic disorders and fat deposition lead to inflammation; inflammation leads to hepatocyte death / apoptosis; and hepatocyte death / apoptosis naturally progresses to fibrosis / cirrhosis. Most drugs currently in Phase III clinical trials operate on the principle of reducing or eliminating fat deposition / degeneration, controlling and suppressing persistent inflammation, and reducing hepatocyte death.

[0008] In summary, developing selective, orally administered small-molecule agonists targeting THR-β is a promising strategy, and two international pioneers have already taken the lead in this area. Among them, MGL-3196, a candidate drug from Madrigal Pharmaceuticals in the United States, achieved positive results in a phase II clinical trial in patients with biopsy-confirmed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). MGL-3196 is a liver-specific, THR-β-selective agonist administered orally once daily. In the clinical study, the change in the percentage of liver fat measured using MRI-PDFF (a non-invasive imaging test) as the primary clinical endpoint showed statistically significant positive results, with a reduction of more than 30% in liver fat, and a high correlation with the improvement of NASH on liver biopsy. Statistically significant reductions in ALT and AST were observed in patients treated with MGL-3196, and several other secondary endpoints, such as LDL-C, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B, and lipoprotein a, also showed statistically significant improvements. These clinical indicators are all associated with the clinical condition of NASH patients. The drug entered Phase III clinical trials in 2019.

[0009] In addition, Viking Therapeutics has developed VK2809 (or MB07811), an oral small molecule agonist with thyroid hormone receptor β subtype (THR-β) selectivity. This drug is currently undergoing a phase II clinical trial in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Results show that patients treated with VK2809 experienced a significant decrease in LDL-C levels of 20% or more. A 12-week course of treatment significantly reduced LDL-C levels in patients with NAFLD and improved liver fat content.

[0010] Due to the significant effects of MGL-3196 and VK2809 in reducing fat deposition / degeneration, industry experts predict that thyroid hormone receptor β subtype (THR-β) agonists have great potential in the treatment of NAFLD / NASH and metabolic syndrome.

[0011]

[0012] However, currently reported THR-β agonists still have limitations, the most important being improving the agonistic activity and subtype selectivity of the compounds, especially the selectivity for the THR-α subtype. Compounds currently under investigation still suffer from insufficient agonistic activity and selectivity. Only by overcoming these bottlenecks can these compounds hope to become breakthrough new therapies for NASH and related liver diseases. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is the structural limitation of existing selective thyroid hormone receptor (THR-β) agonists. To address this, this invention provides an aromatic compound, its preparation method, and its applications. This type of agonist exhibits significantly stronger THR-β agonistic activity than the currently clinically investigated drug MGL-3196, and its selectivity for THR-α subtypes is also significantly higher than that of MGL-3196. In animal experiments using a NASH disease model, some compounds have demonstrated good safety, tolerability, and hepatoprotective effects, including reducing liver fat in mice.

[0249] Example 3: Efficacy and safety testing in NASH animal models

[0250] Male C57BL / 6J mice were fed a CDAA-HFD diet (choline-deficient L-amino acid high-fat diet) starting at 6 weeks of age, and the model was successfully established after 6 weeks (42 days). This model impairs hepatic triglyceride secretion through VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein), leading to elevated serum ALT and AST levels, steatosis and inflammation within 3 weeks, and liver fibrosis occurring at 5-6 weeks. The model progresses to cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and liver failure within 24 weeks. The CDAA-HFD diet can induce hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in a short period without exhibiting the characteristics of metabolic syndrome such as obesity, hyperglycemia, and hypertriglyceridemia, making it highly valuable for NASH disease research projects. In this case, the CDAA-HFD model was used to simulate the pathological process and physiological state of NASH to test the therapeutic effects of compounds on early and mid-stage NASH.

[0277] CHO-hERG cells were cultured in 175 cm² flasks. Once the cell density reached 60–80%, the culture medium was removed, and the cells were washed once with 7 mL of PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline). Then, 3 mL of Detachin was added for digestion. After complete digestion, 7 mL of culture medium was added to neutralize the cells, followed by centrifugation. The supernatant was aspirated, and the cells were resuspended in 5 mL of culture medium to ensure a cell density of 2–5 × 10⁶ / mL.

[0278] 2. Electrophysiological recording process

[0279] The single-cell high-impedance sealing and whole-cell pattern formation processes were all automated by the Qpatch instrument. After obtaining the whole-cell recording pattern, the cells were clamped at -80 mV. Before applying a 5-second +40 mV depolarization stimulus, a 50-millisecond -50 mV pre-voltage was applied, followed by repolarization to -50 mV for 5 seconds, and then back to -80 mV. This voltage stimulus was applied every 15 seconds. After recording for 2 minutes, extracellular fluid was applied for 5 minutes of recording, and then the drug administration process began. The highest test concentration of compound 1 was 40.00 μM, with a total of 6 concentrations: 40.00, 13.33, 4.44, 1.48, 0.49, and 0.16 μM. The DMSO content in the final test concentration did not exceed 0.2%, and this concentration of DMSO had no effect on the hERG potassium channel. The compound concentration was administered starting from the lowest test concentration, with each test concentration administered for 2.5 minutes. After all concentrations were administered, the positive control compound Cisapride was given. At least 3 cells (n≥3) should be tested for each concentration.

[0283] compound Maximum test concentration (μM) Maximum inhibition rate (%) IC50 (μM) Cisapride 3 98.9 0.023 Compound 1 13.3 20.7 >13.3

[0284] Note: Cells could not maintain normal sealing at a concentration of 40 μM for compound 1, and data at this concentration were not included in the statistics.

[0285] The results showed that compound 1 had little effect on the hERG potassium current in CHO cells, suggesting that it is unlikely to have any cardiac safety issues.
