Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a novel compound having prostaglandin E2 receptor inhibitory activity, its applications, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compound, and methods of using the compound to treat or prevent diseases. Background Technology
[0002] Prostaglandins (PGs), like thromboxanes, are physiologically active substances known as prostaglandins and are lipids with a prostaglandin backbone. Under the action of phospholipase A2, arachidonic acid is released from cell membrane phospholipids to biosynthesize prostaglandins such as PGs. Based on the type of oxygen atoms and double bonds attached to their five-membered rings, prostaglandins are classified into groups A to J. Furthermore, based on the number of double bonds on the side chains of the prostaglandin backbone, prostaglandins are classified into groups 1 to 3. For example, prostaglandin E (PGE) includes PGE1, PGE2, and PGE3, which differ from each other in the number of double bonds on their prostaglandin backbone side chains.
[0003] Regarding prostaglandins, PGG2 is biosynthesized from arachidonic acid under the action of cyclooxygenase I (COX-I) or cyclooxygenase II (COX-II), and then PGH2 is generated from PGG2. Subsequently, based on the difference in the breaking of interatomic bonds, PGD2, PGE2, and PGF are generated. 2α The production of each prostaglandin occurs under the action of specific enzymes, which are known to be tissue-specific. Among prostaglandins, PGE2 is generally considered to play a role in various important biological activities, and through specific receptors, it participates in the regulation of the immune system, as well as vasodilation, blood pressure reduction, and uterine contractions. Like other PG receptors, the PGE2 receptor is a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor. The abbreviation for PGE2 receptor is EP, and four subtypes of EP have been identified (EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4). Each subtype is involved in various phenomena in the body. That is, EP1 participates in intracellular calcium metabolism. 2+ With increasing concentration, EP2 and EP4 contribute to increasing cAMP levels, while EP3 contributes to decreasing cAMP levels.
[0004] On the other hand, cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Tumors consist of abnormally proliferating malignant cancer cells and a functionally supporting microenvironment. The tumor microenvironment is composed of a complex set of cellular, extracellular matrix components, and signaling molecules, established by altering the information exchange between stromal cells and tumor cells. As tumor volume increases, it leads to the production of various factors, such as angiogenic factors (promoting blood vessel growth), which can aid tumor growth or help evade the host's immune response. Within this microenvironment, PGE2 functions as an immunomodulatory factor produced within the tumor. The EP receptors of PGE2, particularly EP2 and EP4, are abnormally overexpressed in several types of cancer, especially gastrointestinal (GI) cancers and pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, overexpression of PGE2 and / or EP2 and / or EP4 is closely associated with cancers such as esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Moreover, it is well known that, from an epidemiological perspective, PGE2 signaling is primarily involved in the information exchange between tumor cells and stromal cells, creating a microenvironment favorable for tumor growth. It is worth noting that some tumor cells overexpress EP2 and / or EP4, thereby PGE2 signaling can directly induce tumor cell proliferation.
[0005] In addition, PGE2 antagonists, such as EP2 and / or EP4 antagonists, have been reported to be effective against chronic inflammatory diseases and neurodegenerative diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury.
[0006] Against this technological backdrop, a study on a prostaglandin E2 receptor antagonist that can be used clinically in various ways is underway (Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2013-0092579), but is still incomplete. Summary of the Invention
