Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology. Specifically, the present invention relates to an oleanolic acid derivative acting on farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and a preparation method and use thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to 12-O-fatty acid ester oleanolic acid compounds and a preparation method and use thereof, as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, diastereoisomers, preparation methods of these compounds, and the use of these compounds in drugs for regulating FXR activity and for treating and / or preventing FXR-mediated diseases. These FXR-mediated diseases include, but are not limited to, metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis, and hepatobiliary diseases such as cholestasis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Background Art

[0002] The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) was discovered as an orphan nuclear receptor in 1995. In 1999, it was found that bile acids can activate FXR at physiological concentrations. As a receptor for bile acids, FXR maintains the balance of bile acids in the body by regulating the expression of genes involved in bile acid metabolism. In addition, FXR is also involved in the metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates. As a drug target, FXR is expected to provide new treatment options for diabetes, hyperlipidemia, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and even tumors and infectious diseases.

[0003] A variety of primary and secondary bile acids at physiological concentrations can activate FXR, among which chenodexycholic acid (CDCA) has the strongest agonist effect. However, the direct use of CDCA for related biological regulation and disease treatment is limited by its poor solubility and high toxicity. Based on the steroid structure, the FXR agonist 6-ethylchenodeoxycholic acid (6-ECDCA) was discovered. 6-ECDCA, also known as obeticholic acid (OCA), was approved by the FDA in 2016 for the treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis and is the first approved new drug targeting FXR. In addition, representative compounds of non-steroidal FXR agonists include GW4064 discovered earlier and Tropifexor and Nidufexor in clinical trials. Since potent FXR agonists in clinical trials can lead to side effects such as increased high-density lipoprotein and itching, there has been an increase in research on partial FXR agonists and even antagonists recently.

[0004] Existing studies have shown that since there are many downstream genes of FXR, selectively regulating some of the genes that are closely related to a certain disease can treat the disease and reduce side effects. Therefore, small molecule compounds that act on FXR and have a selective regulatory effect, also known as selective bile acid receptor modulators (SBARMs), can be used to develop molecules for the treatment of metabolic diseases and hepatobiliary diseases.

[0005] Plants containing oleanolic acid (OA) can be used to treat liver diseases in traditional medicine, and OA has also been approved in China for liver protection and auxiliary treatment of viral hepatitis (through mechanisms such as reducing alanine aminotransferase). In recent years, OA has also been found to have a selective regulatory effect on FXR [Liu W, Wong C. Phytotherapy Research 2010, 24: 369-373.], and can alleviate the symptoms of cholestasis in model animals by antagonizing FXR. However, OA is not very active, so we developed 12-substituted OA analogs based on the structure of this type of pentacyclic triterpenes after modification, which significantly enhanced the effect on FXR and had a selective regulatory effect on downstream genes. Disclosed in the present invention are 12-O-fatty acid ester oleanolic acid compounds that act on FXR, and their preparation methods and applications to FXR-related diseases. Summary of the invention

[0096] Experimental Example 2 Pharmacodynamics experiment of the compound of Example 8 on blood glucose in type 2 diabetic KKAy mice

[0097] Spontaneous type 2 diabetic KKAy mice, female (purchased from the Animal Center of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) were used for animal experiments. According to the insulin tolerance test, the mice were randomly divided into two groups according to the percentage of blood glucose decrease in 40 minutes, fasting blood glucose, body weight, plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels.

[0098] The two groups of KKAy mice were respectively the negative control group (Con group), which was gavaged with water (0.05 ml / 10 g body weight); the compound group, which was gavaged with drugs (0.05 ml / 10 g body weight, dose of 100 mg / kg, 200 mg / kg). The control group, the obeticholic acid (OCA) group, was gavaged with drugs (0.05 ml / 10 g body weight, dose of 10 mg / kg) once a day for 42 consecutive days. During the experiment, the body weight was measured regularly and the amount of food and water intake was recorded every day.

[0099] Fasting blood glucose and random blood glucose levels were measured during the 1st to 5th week of administration.

[0100] Insulin tolerance test (ITT) was performed at 3 and 5 weeks after administration.

[0101] Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at the 2nd and 4th week of administration.

[0102] Blood HbA1C was measured at 4 and 5 weeks after administration.

[0103] The drug was stopped and the animals were processed at the 6th week of administration. The liver tissue was taken and weighed. Various biochemical indicators were tested. The specific results are shown in Figure 1 .

[0104] In summary, Example 8 has a reducing effect on the non-fasting blood glucose, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels of KKay mice, and has an improving effect on insulin tolerance and oral glucose tolerance.
