[0002] Fibrotic diseases are diseases that can occur in multiple organs. The pathogenesis thereof has not been known to scientists yet. However, in the process of the occurrence of fibrotic reactions in the whole organ, the main manifestations are: necrosis of parenchymal cells of tissues caused by factors such as inflammation and repeated injuries, excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), resulting in the generation of permanent scars and organ failure, and ultimately leading to death. It is common in organ diseases such as liver cancer, kidney disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and heart failure. At present, the incidence of this disease shows an increasing trend year by year, and it has a great impact on the quality of life of patients. Pirfenidone is an orally administered small molecule drug of pyridone derivative type, and is approved by the European Union and the US FDA for the treatment of mild to moderate idiopathic fibrotic diseases.

[0136] Determination of the anti - fibrotic bioactivity of N - aryl - polycyclic - fused[C] - 2 - pyridone derivatives

[0137] The method for determining the anti - fibrotic bioactivity of N - aryl - polycyclic - fused[C] - 2 - pyridone derivatives is as follows: Select mouse embryonic fibroblast NIH3T3 as the research object, use pirfenidone as the positive control, and adopt the MTT method to investigate the inhibitory effect intensity of the synthesized N - aryl - polycyclic - fused[C] - 2 - pyridone derivatives on the proliferation of NIH3T3 cells. Compare the bioactivity differences between pirfenidone and this series of compounds through the IC 50 value.

[0138] The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0139] Using the MTT colorimetric method, mouse embryonic fibroblasts were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37 °C in a humidified cell culture incubator containing 5% CO2. NIH3T3 cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at 10,000 cells per well and cultured for an additional 12 h. After the cells adhered, the medium was replaced with a medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and the products (A1 - A 22 ) of Examples 1 - 21 of N-aryl-polycyclo[C]-2-pyridone derivatives and pirfenidone (as shown in Formula x), and 5 replicates were set for each concentration. After culturing for 48 h, 10% MTT solution (20 μL) was added to each well. After 4 h, the MTT was aspirated, and 100 μL of MTT solubilization solution DMSO was added to each well until the MTT was completely dissolved. After 15 min, the OD value was measured at 570 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reader, and the data was processed using GraphPad Prism 8.0 software to obtain the IC 50 values of pirfenidone and N-aryl-polycyclo[C]-2-pyridone derivatives.

[0140]

[0141] The results are shown in the following table:

[0142]

[0143]

[0144] From the above table, it can be concluded that the N-aryl-polycyclo[C]-2-pyridone derivatives prepared in the examples of the present invention have anti-fibrotic biological activity:

[0145] (1) The activity of most compounds in this series is superior to that of the positive control pirfenidone, and there is no situation where the compound is insoluble and cannot be tested, indicating that this series of compounds helps to improve anti-fibrotic biological activity.

[0146] (2) Generally speaking, the substituents of compound R 2 have a certain promoting effect on biological activity. From the comparison of the activities of substituents at the ortho, meta, or para positions of R 2 , it can be seen that the meta-substituent is superior to the ortho and para positions. Among them, the activities of compounds A2 and A 16 are 33 and 95 times that of pirfenidone, respectively.

[0147] (3) The activity of the compound with R 1 being an amide or ester group is superior to that of a cyano or carboxyl group. Among them, the activities of A 16 and A 21 are 95 times and 85 times that of pirfenidone, respectively, indicating that the introduction of an amide or ester group increases the hydration of the compound, which is beneficial to drug transport and improves the activity of the compound.

[0148] (4) In the compound containing a six-membered ring (A 17 -A 18 ), R 2 are all o-chloroaniline. It can be seen that when R 1 is a single substituent and is an iodine atom-containing aromatic amide, its activity is superior to that of aromatic amide.

[0149] The present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
