Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chemical medicine, in particular to pyrazole derivatives and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Schizophrenia has an insidious onset, low treatment rates, and a high lifetime prevalence. Currently, approximately 0.3-0.7% of the world's population is affected by schizophrenia during their lifetime, and in 2016, it was estimated that there were over 21 million schizophrenia patients worldwide. Current antipsychotics primarily include typical and atypical antipsychotics. However, due to their potent dopamine receptor blockade, current schizophrenia treatments can cause adverse reactions such as extrapyramidal syndromes (EPS), tardive dyskinesia, and increased prolactin. In the medical field, although a variety of active compounds acting on different targets are available for the treatment of sleep disorders, adverse reactions such as addiction, drug tolerance, and residual effects remain unresolved.

[0003] Traditionally, antipsychotics that block dopamine D2 receptors are referred to as first-generation antipsychotics, or "typical" antipsychotics (such as haloperidol). These drugs have achieved breakthrough results in treating the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, but have failed to address negative symptoms and cognitive impairment. Typical antipsychotics generally have severe EPS side effects and are ineffective for one-third of schizophrenia patients.

[0004] After the 1960s, a series of new-generation antipsychotic drugs were developed, including ziprasidone, risperidone, etc., which are called second-generation antipsychotic drugs, that is, new antipsychotic drugs. Although their pharmacological effects are not completely consistent, they have common pharmacological characteristics, namely, the effects on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors (5-HT 1A、2A、2C ) and norepinephrine (NA) receptors (α1 and α2) with a much higher affinity than for D2 receptors. Their clinical efficacy offers advantages over first-generation antipsychotics. They are equally effective against positive symptoms as traditional antipsychotics, and are also effective against negative symptoms and cognitive impairment, thus possessing a broader spectrum of action. However, these drugs are associated with adverse effects such as QT prolongation, hyperprolactinemia, and weight gain. Therefore, the search for drugs that are effective against both positive and negative symptoms and cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, while also exhibiting minimal side effects, is a current research hotspot.

[0005] The serotonin system plays an important role in regulating the functions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), including emotional control, cognitive behavior, and working memory. Pyramidal neurons and GABA interneurons in the PFC contain several serotonin receptor subtypes with a particularly high density of 5-HT. 1Aand 5-HT 2A Recently, it has been shown that PFC and NMDA receptor channels are 5-HT 1A These two receptors regulate the excitability of neurons in the cerebral cortex, thereby affecting cognitive function. In fact, various preclinical data show that 5-HT 1A R may be a new target for the development of antipsychotic drugs. Atypical antipsychotic drugs (such as olanzapine, aripiprazole, etc.) have an effect on 5-HT 1A The high affinity of R and its low EPS side effects indicate that the serotonin system plays an important role in regulating the functions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), including emotional control, cognitive behavior and working memory. The pyramidal neurons and GABA interneurons of the PFC contain several serotonin receptor subtypes with a particularly high density of 5-HT 1A and 5-HT 2A Recent studies have shown that 5-HT 1A Agonists are associated with atypical antipsychotics and can improve negative symptoms and cognitive impairment. In the treatment of schizophrenia with the atypical antipsychotic clozapine, it was found that 5-HT 2A It plays an important role in all aspects of perception, emotion regulation and motor control. 2A The receptors can normalize the release of dopamine and play an antipsychotic role. 2C The receptor is closely linked to weight gain.

[0006] Pimasserin is a 5-HT 2A High-affinity inverse agonist, 5-HT 2C Antagonist, in vitro experimental results show that it has an effect on 5-HT 2A The affinity of the receptor [inhibition constant (Ki) is 0.4nm] is higher than that of 5-HT 2C High (Ki=16nm), for 5-HT 2B It has no significant affinity (Ki>300nm) for cytokines, dopamine receptors (including D2 receptors), adrenergic receptors, muscarinic receptors, or calcium channel receptors. The drug was approved for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April 2016 under the trade name Nuplazid TM , mainly used to treat Parkinson's mental symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need to find an antipsychotic drug that is effective for both positive and negative symptoms, can improve cognitive impairment, and can prevent extrapyramidal side effects, including tardive dyskinesia and Parkinson's disease; and can reduce weight gain.

[0149] 1.1 Preparation of tert-butyl 4-(3-oxo-4-phenylbutyryl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

[0150] 60% sodium hydride (1.07 g) was added to 15 mL of tetrahydrofuran and cooled to 0°C. Tert-butyl 4-acetylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (3.00 g, 13.198 mmol) and methyl phenylacetate (6.01 g, 39.9 mmol) were slowly added dropwise.

[0234] Example 14 In vitro hERG experiment

[0235] Stably transfected cells were plated on glass slides at a cell density of less than 50% and cultured overnight. The experimental cells were transferred to a 1 ml bath embedded in an inverted microscope stage and perfused with extracellular fluid at a rate of 2.7 ml / min. After stabilization for 5 minutes, the experiment was started. Membrane currents were recorded using a HEKA EPC-10 patch clamp amplifier and a PATCHMASTER acquisition system (HEKA Instruments Inc. D-67466 Lambrecht, Pfalz, Germany). All experiments were performed at room temperature (22-24°C).

[0236] The electrodes (BF150-110-10) were straightened using a P-97 microelectrode puller (Sutter Instrument Company, One Digital Drive, Novato, CA 94949). The inner diameter of the electrodes was 1-1.5 mm, and the water resistance after filling with the internal solution was 2-4 MΩ.

[0237] The electrophysiological stimulation protocol for hERG potassium channels is to first clamp the membrane voltage at -80 mV, then stimulate the cell with a voltage of +20 mV for 2 seconds to activate the hERG potassium channels. The cells are then repolarized to -50 mV for 5 seconds to generate an outward tail current. The stimulation frequency is once every 15 seconds. The current value is the peak tail current.

[0238] In the experiment, the whole-cell recording mode was used to record the channel current. First, the extracellular fluid was perfused (approximately 2 ml per minute) and the recording was continued, and the current was allowed to stabilize (the current decay (Run-Down) was less than 5% within 5 minutes). At this time, the peak value of the tail current was the control current value. Then the extracellular fluid containing the drug to be tested was perfused and the recording was continued until the inhibitory effect of the drug on the hERG current reached a stable state. At this time, the peak value of the tail current was the current value after drug addition. The standard of the stable state is judged by whether the three most recent consecutive current recording lines overlap. After reaching a stable state, if the hERG current recovers or approaches the size before the drug is added after flushing with extracellular fluid, the perfusion test of other concentrations or drugs can continue.
