Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chemical drugs, and relates to tricyclic derivatives, a preparation method thereof and pharmaceutical applications thereof. Specifically, the derivatives are inhibitors of aggrecanase-2 (ADAMTS-5, Aggrecanase-2). The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and uses of the compounds in medicaments for treating diseases such as osteoarthritis. Background Art

[0002] Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative arthritis, is a degenerative disease mainly characterized by joint pain caused by fibrosis, cracking, ulceration and loss of articular cartilage due to multiple factors. It can cause loss of motor ability and pain in patients, and the ultimate result often requires total joint replacement. It is the most common disease in the elderly and obese. At present, the pathogenesis of OA has not been clearly studied. Its main causes include age, obesity and joint injury. Under the action of these factors, the cell metabolism in joint tissues is disordered, cell signal transduction is dysregulated, and catabolic pathways are activated.

[0003] Articular cartilage is mainly composed of chondrocytes and cartilage matrix. Among them, chondrocytes in articular cartilage only account for a small part of the total volume of articular cartilage, and most of it is composed of extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix consists of two macromolecular structures: collagen and proteoglycan. The main reason for the degradation of articular cartilage in osteoarticular diseases is the degradation of collagen and proteoglycan in the extracellular matrix of articular chondrocytes. When the degradation of the extracellular matrix and basement membrane components of articular chondrocytes by proteolytic enzymes is much greater than the synthesis, and the structure of cartilage tissue and subchondral bone changes, it will lead to abnormal joint function. Therefore, aggrecanase is a potential target for developing OA treatment drugs.

[0004] Aggrecanase is a member of the ADAMTS family. It is a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin (TS) motifs and consists of secreted zinc metalloproteinases. Aggrecanase is the main protease responsible for aggrecan cleavage in the early stage of cartilage remodeling. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) starts to participate in this process during disease development and continues the degradation of collagen. Therefore, aggrecanase activity is considered a marker of cartilage degradation during inflammatory joint diseases such as OA.

[0005] The ADAMTS family of secreted zinc metalloproteinases includes nineteen members known to bind to and degrade components of the extracellular cartilage matrix (ECM). Several members of the ADAMTS family have been found to cleave aggrecan, the major proteoglycan component of cartilage: ADAMTS-1, -4, -5, -8, -9, -15, -16, and -18. Since the expression and / or aggrecanase degradation activity of ADAMTS-1, -8, -9, -15, -16, and -18 are rather low, it is believed that ADAMTS-4 (aggrecanase-1) and ADAMTS-5 (aggrecanase-2) are the two major functional aggrecanases.

[0006] Cartilage aggrecanase 1 (ADAMTS-4) and cartilage aggrecanase 2 (ADAMTS-5) are two different cartilage aggrecanases isolated successively from cartilage. These two proteases specifically cleave the aggrecan Glu373-Ala374 bond in the IGD region of the aggrecan core protein. Therefore, these proteases have received the most attention in the pathology of arthritic joint diseases because they are the most effective aggrecanases in vitro. The activity of these aggrecanases is crucial for the metabolic balance between the synthesis and degradation of aggrecan. In normal human bodies, the control mechanism of aggrecan catabolism may be related to endogenous inhibitors such as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIM-3) of aggrecanase. However, the balance between TIMP-3 and ADAMTS-4 synthesis is disrupted in OA patients, and catabolism is greater than anabolism. Some studies believe that this may be due to de novo synthesis of ADAMTS-4 or post-translational activation of ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5. By inhibiting ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5, the degradation of proteoglycans in OA cartilage can be effectively prevented, and the degeneration of cartilage can be prevented.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to discover new ADAMTS inhibitors, particularly new compounds that have inhibitory activity against ADAMTS-5 and ADAMTS-4 and have good biological properties and can be safely applied to the human body. The present invention also provides the necessary tools for preventing and / or treating diseases involving cartilage degeneration, particularly osteoarthritis and / or rheumatoid arthritis.

[0103] Further, the use of the compound or the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention in the preparation of a drug, wherein the drug refers to a drug for preventing and / or treating osteoporosis, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, Paget's disease, abnormally increased bone turnover, periodontal disease, tooth loss, fracture, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, periprosthetic osteolysis, incomplete bone formation, metastatic bone disease, malignant hypercalcemia or multiple myeloma and other diseases.

[0104] Unless otherwise specified, the following terms and phrases used herein are intended to have the following meanings. A particular term or phrase should not be considered indeterminate or unclear without a specific definition, but should be understood in its ordinary meaning. When a trade name appears herein, it is intended to refer to the corresponding product or its active ingredient. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" as used herein refers to those compounds, materials, compositions and / or dosage forms that are within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and animals, without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response or other problems or complications, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0105] The "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" used herein are derivatives of the compounds of the present invention, wherein the parent compound is modified by forming a salt with an acid or a base.

[0106] The prodrugs of the compounds described herein are readily chemically transformed under physiological conditions to convert into the compounds of the present invention. In addition, the prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in the in vivo environment.

[0107] Certain compounds of the present invention may exist in non-solvated form or solvated form, including hydrate form. Generally, the solvated form is equivalent to the non-solvated form and is included within the scope of the present invention.

[0108] The atoms of the compound molecules of the present invention are isotopes. By isotope derivatization, effects such as usually prolonging the half-life, reducing the clearance rate, metabolic stability and enhancing the in vivo activity can be achieved. And, there is included an embodiment in which at least one atom is replaced by an atom having the same number of atoms (proton number) and a different mass number (sum of protons and neutrons). Examples of isotopes included in the compounds of the present invention include hydrogen atoms, carbon atoms, nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, phosphorus atoms, sulfur atoms, fluorine atoms, chlorine atoms, which respectively include 2 H, 3 H, 13 C, 14 C, 15 N, 17 O, 18 O, 31 P, 32 P,35 S, 18 F, 36 Cl. In particular, radioactive isotopes that emit radiation as they decay, such as 3 H or 14 C can be used for pharmaceutical preparations or local anatomical examinations of in vivo compounds. Stable isotopes neither decay or change in quantity nor are radioactive, and thus can be used safely. When the atoms constituting the molecules of the compounds of the present invention are isotopes, the isotopes can be transformed according to general methods by replacing the reagents used in the synthesis with reagents containing the corresponding isotopes.

[0109] For example, the compounds of the present invention may contain non-natural proportions of atomic isotopes on one or more atoms constituting the compound. For example, the compounds can be labeled with radioactive isotopes such as deuterium ( 2 H), iodine-125 ( 125 I) or C-14 ( 14 C). All transformations of the isotopic composition of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are included within the scope of the present invention.

[0110] Furthermore, one or more hydrogen atoms of the compounds of the present invention are replaced by the isotope deuterium ( 2 H). After the compounds of the present invention are deuterated, they have effects such as extended half-life, reduced clearance rate, metabolic stability and enhanced in vivo activity.

[0111] The preparation methods of the isotopic derivatives generally include: phase transfer catalysis methods. For example, the preferred deuteration method uses a phase transfer catalyst (e.g., tetraalkylammonium salts, NBu 4 HSO 4 ). Using a phase transfer catalyst to exchange the methylene protons of a diphenylmethane compound results in a higher level of deuterium introduced than by reduction with deuterosilane (e.g., triethyl deuterosilane) in the presence of an acid (e.g., methanesulfonic acid) or with sodium borohydride in the presence of a Lewis acid such as aluminum trichloride.

[0112] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to any preparation carrier or medium that can deliver an effective amount of the active substance of the present invention, does not interfere with the biological activity of the active substance, and is non-toxic and side-effect-free to the host or patient. Representative carriers include water, oils, vegetables and minerals, paste bases, lotion bases, ointment bases, etc. These bases include suspending agents, thickening agents, transdermal promoters, etc. Their preparations are well known to those skilled in the fields of cosmetics or topical pharmaceuticals.

[0113] The term "excipient" generally refers to the carriers, diluents and / or media required for formulating an effective pharmaceutical composition.

[0114] For a drug or a pharmacological active agent, the term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to a sufficient amount of the drug or agent that is non-toxic but can achieve the desired effect. For the oral dosage forms in the present invention, the "effective amount" of an active substance in the composition refers to the amount required to achieve the desired effect when used in combination with another active substance in the composition. The determination of the effective amount varies from person to person, depending on the age and general condition of the recipient, and also depends on the specific active substance. The appropriate effective amount in a particular case can be determined by those skilled in the art according to conventional tests.

[0115] The terms "active ingredient", "therapeutic agent", "active substance" or "active agent" refer to a chemical entity that can effectively treat a target disorder, disease or condition.

[0116] The terms "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" refer to structural isomers that have different energies and can interconvert through a low energy barrier. If tautomerism is possible (e.g., in solution), a chemical equilibrium of tautomers can be achieved. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions that occur through proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers include interconversions that occur through the reorganization of some bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerism is the interconversion between pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerism is phenol-keto tautomerism. A specific example of phenol-keto tautomerism is the interconversion between pyridin-4-ol and pyridin-4(1H)-one tautomers. Unless otherwise indicated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.

[0117] The compounds of the present invention can exist in specific geometric or stereoisomeric forms. The present invention contemplates all such compounds, including cis- and trans-isomers, (-)- and (+)-enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, and their racemic mixtures and other mixtures, such as enantiomer- or diastereomer-enriched mixtures, all of which mixtures are within the scope of the present invention. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in substituents such as alkyl groups. All such isomers and their mixtures are included within the scope of the present invention.

[0118] The optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers, as well as D and L isomers, can be prepared by chiral synthesis or chiral reagents or other conventional techniques. If one enantiomer of a compound of the present invention is desired, it can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization with a chiral auxiliary, wherein the resulting mixture of diastereomers is separated and the auxiliary group is cleaved to provide the pure desired enantiomer. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as an amino group) or an acidic functional group (such as a carboxyl group), a diastereomeric salt is formed with an appropriate optically active acid or base, and then the diastereomers are resolved by conventional methods known in the art, and then the pure enantiomer is recovered. In addition, the separation of enantiomers and diastereomers is usually accomplished by using chromatography with a chiral stationary phase and optionally in combination with chemical derivatization (such as formation of a carbamate from an amine).

[0119] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequent described event or condition may but does not necessarily occur, and this description includes both the case where the event or condition occurs and the case where the event or condition does not occur.

[0127] The term "halogenated phenyl" means a situation where the hydrogen on the phenyl can be substituted by one or more identical or different halogen atoms. Such examples include, but are not limited to, dichlorophenyl, 3,4-dichlorophenyl.

[0128] "Cycloalkyl" means a monocyclic or polycyclic non-aromatic hydrocarbon ring structure having a specified number of ring atoms. The cycloalkyl may have 3 to 10 carbon atoms, particularly 3 to 7 carbon atoms. The cycloalkyl includes, for example, monocyclic structures such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and cycloheptyl.

[0129] "Heteroaryl" means a monocyclic or fused polycyclic aromatic ring structure containing one or more (preferably 1, 2, or 3) heteroatoms independently selected from O, N, and S and a specified number of carbon atoms. Specifically, the aromatic ring structure may have 5 to 12 ring members, preferably a 5- or 6-membered monocyclic heteroaryl. The heteroaryl may be, for example, a five- or six-membered monocyclic ring or a fused bicyclic structure formed by fused five- and six-membered rings or two fused six-membered rings or, as another example, two fused five-membered rings. Each ring may contain up to four heteroatoms typically selected from nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen. The heteroaryl ring generally contains up to 4 heteroatoms, more typically up to 3 heteroatoms, more typically up to 2 heteroatoms, such as a single heteroatom. In one embodiment, the heteroaryl ring contains at least one ring nitrogen atom.
