Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical pharmaceutical technology, and more specifically, to an imidazo[a]aromatic heteroyl derivative, a pharmaceutical composition, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The abnormalities in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism observed in diabetic patients are a result of abnormal insulin action on target tissues and lead to structural changes in many organ systems, particularly those related to the vascular system. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes is associated with serious long-term complications, including microvascular (such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) and macrovascular (including fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke) disease. Diabetes is not a single disease but a chronic syndrome requiring aggressive and long-term pharmacological treatment to limit its complications, effectively manage them as they develop, and prevent premature death. Therefore, in addition to glycemic control, diabetic patients require continuous medical care, including multifactorial risk reduction strategies.

[0003] Diabetes is classified into four subtypes: Type I, Type II, gestational diabetes, and others (i.e., specific types of diabetes caused by other reasons).

[0004] The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) controls the physiological response to the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and due to the wide range of effects mediated by its activation, including promoting glucose-dependent insulin secretion, increasing insulin biosynthesis, preserving β-cell mass, improving peripheral insulin action, and promoting weight loss, it is a major therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

[0005] GLP-1 receptor agonists play an irreplaceable role in the treatment of diabetes. Since 2005, seven GLP-1 receptor agonists have been approved, including exenatide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, albiglutide, lixisenatide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide. Currently, all approved GLP-1 receptor agonists are peptide agonists; there are no marketed small molecule agonists (the most advanced being in Phase II clinical trials). Compared to peptide agonists, small molecule drugs have significantly better oral bioavailability and are easier to administer, without being restricted by food or timing of administration.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an imidazo-aromatic heterol derivative as a small molecule drug for GLP-1 receptor agonist to promote its application in drug preparation. Summary of the Invention

[0145] Evaluation of GLP-1 receptor agonist activity in experimental cases

[0146] Experimental objective: To test the agonistic activity of the compound on the GLP-1 receptor at the cellular level.

[0147] Experimental Method: This experiment uses ONE-Glo TM The luciferase assay system works by activating the GLP-1 receptor, which activates its downstream signaling pathway, leading to increased cAMP expression. cAMP binds to the CRE, initiating the transcriptional expression of the downstream luciferase gene. The luciferase then reacts with its substrate to emit fluorescence. Therefore, it can be detected via ONE-Glo TM The activity of the compound in activating the GLP-1 receptor was evaluated by detecting the fluorescence signal. First, a stable cell line transfected with the CHO-K1 / CRE-luc / GLP-1 receptor was constructed. The cells were then cultured at 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ cells / year. 5 Cells were seeded at a density of [number] cells / mL in 96-well cell culture plates and cultured for 16 hours. Then, the cells were treated with different concentrations of compounds for 6 hours. The 96-well cell culture plates were then removed, and the specified dose of ONE-Glo was added according to the instructions. TM The reagents were incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes, and the fluorescence signal was measured using an ELISA reader.
