Description

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202210152310.X, filed on February 18, 2022, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and particularly to the field of pharmaceutical chemical synthesis. Specifically, it refers to a novel use of a derivative based on the strychnine saponin class structure and its pharmaceutical composition in the preparation of drugs for treating diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Background Technology

[0004] Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bunge is a common traditional Chinese medicine. It is the dried tuber of the plant, belonging to the Liliaceae family. It is used to relieve thirst and internal heat, dispel pathogenic factors, and reduce edema of the limbs, and is a commonly used yin-nourishing herb. Its extracts have been shown to possess diuretic, anti-diabetic, anti-platelet aggregation, antifungal, and metabolic regulatory activities, and also exhibit inhibitory effects on cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase. The main chemical components of the extract include steroidal saponins, biphenylpyranones, polysaccharides, and lignins. Among these, steroidal saponins include anemarrhena saponins AI, A-II, A-III, A-IV, BI, B-II, and B-III, as well as malcosanoside 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-galactopyranoside B, degalactoside, F-glycine saponin, and isosmilax saponin. In addition, it also contains Anemarrhena asphodeloides polysaccharides A / B / C / D, cis-cylindrical resin phenol, monomethyl-cis-cylindrical resin phenol, oxidized-cis-cylindrical resin phenol, 2,6,4'-trihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, p-hydroxyphenyl crotonol, vinyl pentadecanoate, β-sitosterol, mangiferin, nicotinic acid, nicotinamide and pantothenic acid, etc.

[0005] Mitochondrial function and behavior are central to human physiology. Mitochondria perform a variety of interconnected functions, producing ATP and many biosynthetic processes, while also contributing to cellular stress responses such as autophagy and apoptosis. Mitochondria form a dynamic, interconnected network, tightly bound together with other cellular compartments. Furthermore, mitochondrial functions extend beyond cell boundaries, influencing the physiology and organization of organisms by regulating intercellular communication. The mitochondrial respiratory chain is primarily composed of mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes, and deficiencies in these enzyme complexes are a significant cause of mitochondrial diseases (approximately 30%-40% of mitochondrial diseases are due to mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme deficiencies). The structure and function of the human respiratory chain supercomplex: oxidative phosphorylation is performed stepwise by five respiratory chain protein complexes located on the inner mitochondrial membrane. These five protein complexes are complex I (NADH dehydrogenase), complex II (succinate dehydrogenase), complex III (cytochrome c reductase), complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase), and complex V (ATP synthase).

[0006] Therefore, it is not surprising that mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic disorders. The literature also reviews the progress of mitochondrial biology and discusses its relevance to human diseases (doi:10.1016 / j.cell.2012.02.035.). Currently, many small molecule drugs target respiratory chain complexes and act on multiple indications, providing various options for disease treatment. The number of drugs currently available targeting respiratory chain complexes for various indications includes: cancer, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases, immune diseases, coronavirus infection, inflammation, metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, intestinal diseases, autism, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, stroke, and chronic fatigue syndrome, among others.

[0007] Small molecules acting on mitochondria can maintain the complex in an active state and allosterically regulate its activity and electron transport efficiency. This also contributes to the overall structural stability of the complex, thereby reducing the generation of mitochondrial ROS (superoxide radicals) caused by electron leakage. Based on the regulation of complex activity, it is possible to achieve overall regulation of energy metabolism pathways within the cell and even the entire organism, as well as influence epigenetic modifications of the genome.

[0008] Stroke, commonly known as apoplexy, includes ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction) and hemorrhagic stroke (cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage). According to the World Health Organization, stroke is defined as damage to cerebral blood vessels and focal (or systemic) brain tissue caused by various factors, resulting in clinical symptoms lasting more than 24 hours or death. It is characterized by high morbidity, disability, recurrence, and mortality rates. Stroke is the leading cause of death among Chinese residents.

[0009] Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease, is a chronic, progressive degenerative disease affecting the upper and lower motor neurons and the muscles of the trunk, limbs, and face they innervate. It commonly manifests as progressive muscle weakness, atrophy, and fasciculations due to combined damage to both upper and lower motor neurons. Clinically, it presents as progressive skeletal muscle weakness, atrophy, fasciculations, bulbar palsy, and pyramidal tract signs. Early symptoms are mild and easily confused with other diseases; patients may only experience weakness, muscle twitching, and fatigue. Gradually, these symptoms progress to generalized muscle atrophy and difficulty swallowing, eventually leading to respiratory failure. The main theories regarding the causes of motor neuron damage are: 1. Accumulation of neurotoxic substances, such as glutamate buildup between nerve cells, eventually causing damage; 2. Free radical damage to nerve cell membranes; 3. Deficiency of nerve growth factor, preventing nerve cells from continuously growing and developing. Currently, Rilutek is the only internationally recognized drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and it is crucial to start its use as early as possible. Simultaneously, international research is exploring the use of Rilutek in combination with neurotrophic factors, antioxidants such as vitamin E and vitamin C, as well as creatine and CoQ10, for protective treatment of ALS, but this requires further confirmation through clinical trials.

[0010] Neurodegenerative diseases are divided into acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases. Acute neurodegenerative diseases mainly include stroke, brain injury (BI), and epilepsy; chronic neurodegenerative diseases mainly include Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), different types of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and Pick's disease. The causes of neurodegenerative diseases are mainly in the following four aspects: 1. Oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is caused by excessive production of free radicals and / or failure to clear them in time, resulting in an imbalance between oxidation and antioxidation in the body, leading to cell and tissue damage. Free radicals are atoms or groups with unpaired electrons, including hydroxyl radicals, superoxide anions, nitric oxide, etc. In recent years, oxidative damage to nerve tissue has been found in neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, PD, and ALS; 2. Mitochondrial dysfunction. AD patients have mtDNA defects and abnormal oxidative phosphorylation in their brains. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot hybridization revealed mtDNA breaks, base deletions, and mistranslation mutations in the brain tissue of sporadic AD patients. Electron microscopy confirmed an increased number of mitochondria with abnormal structure, including lamellar bodies and crystalline inclusions. Furthermore, impaired mitochondrial function in AD patients leads to insufficient neuronal energy supply and the release of large amounts of ROS, inducing oxidative stress damage, calcium imbalance, and ultimately triggering neuronal apoptosis. 3. Excitotoxicity. High glutamate concentrations in the intercellular space can produce toxins on neurons, leading to neuronal degeneration, aging, and death. This excitotoxic effect of glutamate is closely related to the occurrence and development of various neurodegenerative diseases and is one of the important mechanisms leading to neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases. 4. Immune inflammation. Numerous studies have shown that inflammation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of AD. The innate immune system is a natural immune defense function formed during phylogenetic development and evolution. Compared to another specific immune response, it can rapidly react to various harmful substances to protect the body. Activation of the innate immune system itself is a double-edged sword. Long-term and uncontrolled stimulation by harmful substances (such as aggregated Aβ) can trigger the innate immune system and cause damage to the brain.

[0011] COVID-19, or Coronavirus Disease 2019 for short, is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by infection with the novel coronavirus, as named by the World Health Organization (WHO). On March 11, 2020, the WHO assessed the current COVID-19 outbreak and declared it a global pandemic. The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 pneumonia are primarily fever, fatigue, and dry cough, often accompanied by hypoxia. About half of the patients develop respiratory distress within a week, and severe cases rapidly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, uncorrectable metabolic acidosis, and coagulation disorders. Currently, prevention methods for COVID-19 mainly involve vaccination and isolation. Treatment medications include Paxlovid, Azvudine tablets, Monopravir capsules, Sanhan Huashi granules, and Qingfei Paidu decoction.

[0012] The search for highly effective, selective, low-toxicity, and readily permeable novel drugs remains extremely challenging. Preventing, reducing, and treating COVID-19 infection, lowering mortality rates, and eliminating sequelae are of paramount importance. Lowering free radical levels in the brain is considered a therapeutic approach; compounds of the anemarrhenasaponin class have been shown to reduce free radical levels and protect mitochondria, enabling them to utilize oxygen more effectively.

[0013] Therefore, the development and rational use of compounds for the treatment of diseases caused by abnormalities in the mitochondrial respiratory chain are of great practical value. Summary of the Invention

TsCl (210.5 g, 1.10 mol, 1.0 eq) was dissolved in pyridine (600 mL) and slowly added to the reaction solution under N2 protection. The reaction solution was naturally heated to room temperature (23–28 °C). After stirring for 4 h, 105 g of pyridine (200 mL) solution of TsCl (0.55 mol, 0.5 eq) was added to the reaction solution under N2 protection at room temperature. After the addition was complete, the reaction was allowed to proceed overnight at room temperature (23–28 °C). The system turned wine red and was stirred at room temperature (23–28 °C) for 48 h. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was slowly dripped into water (65L) at 0-10℃. A large amount of solid precipitated out. The mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with 500mL of PE:EA (50:1) mixed solvent. The obtained solid was dried under vacuum (40-50℃ water bath) for 8 hours to obtain 451g of solid, which is intermediate 13.

Heat the reaction mixture to 55 °C and maintain this temperature for 16 hours. Monitor the reaction by TLC (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate = 15:1) until complete. Then, pour the reaction mixture into 1 L of ice water and stir for 30 minutes. Filter and wash the filter cake with water to give 7 g of white solid.

After the reaction is complete, pour the reaction mixture into 150 mL of water and stir for 30 minutes. Filter the reaction mixture and wash the filter cake with water to obtain 5.5 g of a white solid.

[0351]

[0352] TMSN3 (0.12 g, 1.1 eq, 2 eq) and DBU (0.32 g, 0.21 mmol, 4 eq), followed by N2, were added dropwise to a DMF suspension (6 mL) containing 15 (0.3 g, 0.52 mmol, 1 eq) at 30–35 °C. The resulting reaction solution was heated to 80–90 °C and reacted for 16–20 hours. After TLC detection showed that 5 had essentially disappeared (PE:EA = 10:1), the reaction solution was cooled to 30–35 °C. The reaction solution was then transferred to 20 mL of water at 0–10 °C and stirred for 5–10 minutes, followed by filtration. The filter cake was purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluting PE:EA, to give 0.13 g of solid, intermediate 16, with a yield of 56%.

[0353] Step 6 Intermediate 7

[0364] Intermediate 18 (28 g, 1.0 eq) was dissolved in DCM (300 mL), and intermediate 12 (13.1 g, 1.5 eq), T3P (35.3 g, 2.0 eq) and NMM (11.2 g, 2.0 eq) were added. The mixture was reacted at room temperature for 16 h. TLC detection (DCM / MeOH (5% ammonia-methanol) = 20 / 1). After the reaction was complete, the reaction solution was washed with (250 mL) water, and the aqueous phase was extracted with DCM (100 mL x 2). The combined organic phases were dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and purified by column chromatography (DCM / MeOH (5% ammonia-methanol) = 45 / 1 to 15 / 1) to obtain approximately 17 g of crude product of Example 13A. This crude product was dissolved in approximately 120 mL of dichloromethane, and then acetonitrile (200 mL) was added. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to approximately 100 mL and stirred in an ice bath for 2 hours, resulting in the precipitation of a large amount of white solid. The reactants were filtered, the filter cake was dried, and then placed in pure water (150 mL) at room temperature and stirred overnight. After filtration and drying, Example 13A (12.2 g) was obtained.

The autoclave was purged with N2 four times at 28–35℃, followed by purging with H2 four times at the same temperature. Finally, the H2 pressure was maintained at 2.5–3MPa, and the mixture was stirred at 28–35℃ for 48 hours. TLC (PE:EA = 20:1) was performed to detect the disappearance of the starting material. After the reaction was complete, a layer of diatomaceous earth was placed on a vacuum filtration funnel, and the mixture was filtered under reduced pressure to remove Pd / C from the reaction solution.

[0723] Example 43 Compound Activity Test

[0724] Experiment 1. Detection of the protective effect of small molecule compounds against oxygen deprivation (OGD)-induced damage in primary cultured neurons of rats.

[0725] Experimental and Analytical Methods: Pregnant rats at 15 days of gestation were ordered, and fetal brains were dissected (E15-16). Primary cortical neurons were cultured in neuronal medium in 48-well plates for 14 days (DIV 14) for oral glucose-depletion (OGD) experiments. During the OGD experiment, the neuronal culture medium was replaced with glucose-free anaerobic medium (95% N2 / 5% CO2 equilibration), and neurons were treated with OGD in the OGD chamber. Then, the medium was replaced with normal neuronal culture medium, and the cells were incubated in a 95% air / 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours before neuronal activity analysis. Hoechst 33342 and Propidium iodide staining were performed, and high-content fluorescence microscopy was used for imaging. Twenty random, non-overlapping images were taken from each repeat well using Thermo Scientific software. TMThe total number of neurons and the number of dead neurons were counted using HCS StudioCell Analysis Software. The standard deviation and standard error were calculated using the obtained data, and a T-test analysis was performed to calculate the p-value to determine if there were any significant differences.

[0726] Compound preparation: Thirteen small molecule compounds from Examples 1 to 20 were diluted with DMSO to a stock solution of 0.5 mM. 1 μL of the stock solution was added to each well of a 48-well plate to a final concentration of 1 μM (0.5 ml of culture medium). 1 μL of DPQ (stock solution 10 mM) was added to the positive control compound and 1 μL of DMSO (negative control) was added to the culture medium 24 hours before the OGD experiment. The same concentration was added to the sugar-free and anaerobic culture medium and the subsequent normal neuronal culture medium.

[0727] Result: As Figure 1 As shown in the results of this OGD experiment, the proportion of dead cells in neurons without OGD was 10.32%, while the proportion of dead cells in the negative control with DMSO was 52.31%, with an injury rate of approximately 42%. The proportion of dead cells in the positive control with DPQ was 22.22%, demonstrating a very significant protective effect against neuronal damage.

[0732]

[0733] Result: As Figure 2 As shown, Examples 2, 7, 13, and 14A significantly protected against hydrogen peroxide-induced neurotumor cell damage.

[0734] Experiment 3. Detection of the protective effect of small molecule compounds against L-cysteine-induced neuronal excitotoxicity.

[0735] Experimental and analytical methods: Before the experiment, 24-well cell culture plates were pretreated with Poly-D-lysine and placed overnight in a cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. SD rats at 18 days of gestation were ordered, and the fetal brains (E18-19) were dissected. Primary hippocampal neurons were cultured in 24-well plates using neuronal culture medium and serum-free medium. After culturing in a cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 19 days (DIV19), the test compound (final concentration 1 μM) and the positive control AP5 [(2R)-amino-5-phosphatric acid (ester)] (final concentration 100 μM) were added. After 24 hours of culture, L-Cystine (400 μM) and NaHCO3 (10 mM) were added. After another 18 hours, hoechst3342 (2.5 μg / ml) was added for cell staining. Cells were incubated in an incubator for 15 minutes, and photographed using a high-content fluorescence microscope. Six random, non-overlapping images were taken from each repeat well. The total number of neurons and the number of dead neurons were counted using ImageJ software. The obtained data were used to determine whether there were differences between the drug-treated group and the control group.

[0736] Compound preparation: The 32 small molecule compounds from Examples 1 to 19A were diluted with DMSO to a 1 mM stock solution. 1 μl of the stock solution was added to 1 ml of culture medium in each well of a 24-well plate to a final concentration of 1 μM. 100 μl of AP5 was added as the positive control compound (100 mM stock solution), and 1 μl of DMSO was added as the negative control.

[0737] Result: As Figure 3 As shown, the proportion of dead neurons in the control group without L-Cystine (400 μM) and NaHCO3 (10 mM) was 20.12%, while the proportion of dead neurons in the negative control group with DMSO was 87.62%, with a damage rate of approximately 67.5%. The proportion of dead neurons in the positive control group with AP5 was 27.58%, indicating that AP5 had a very significant protective effect against neuronal excitotoxicity. The results of experiments with the addition of the above four small molecule compounds showed that compounds in Examples 1, 1A, 2, 4B, 6, 10, 13, and 13B had a protective effect against L-Cystine (400 μM)-induced neuronal excitotoxicity.

[0778] Basis for concentration determination

[0779] After communicating with the client based on the results of concentration exploration, it was determined that the maximum detection concentration for evaluating the anti-inflammatory effects of "Example 5" and "Example 6" was 2.5 μM.

[0780] Model making

[0781] LPS was used to treat normal 3dpf transgenic neutrophil fluorescent zebrafish by yolk sac injection to establish a zebrafish inflammation model.

[0782] Experimental methods

[0783] 1. Determine the maximum detection concentration (MTC) for "Example 5" and "Example 6".

[0784] Healthy, uniformly developed transgenic neutrophilic fluorescent zebrafish (3 days post-fertilization, 3dpf) were selected under a microscope and placed in six-well plates. Thirty zebrafish were randomly selected from each well, with a volume of 3 mL per well. LPS was injected into the yolk sac to establish a zebrafish inflammation model. "Example 5" and "Example 6" were administered water-soluble at concentrations of 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 200 μM, respectively. A normal control group (i.e., zebrafish treated with fish farming water) and a model control group were also set up. After incubation at 28°C for 3 hours, zebrafish mortality was observed and recorded. The number of dead zebrafish in each experimental group was counted to determine the maximum detectable concentration (MTC) of "Example 5" and "Example 6" for zebrafish.

[0785] 2. Evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of "Example 5" and "Example 6".

[0786] Healthy, uniformly developed transgenic neutrophil fluorescent zebrafish (3 days post-fertilization, 3dpf) were selected under a microscope and placed in a six-well plate. Thirty zebrafish were randomly selected from each well, and the volume of each well was 3 mL. LPS was injected into the yolk sac to establish a zebrafish inflammation model. The zebrafish in "Example 5" and "Example 6" were administered water-soluble solutions at concentrations of 0.28, 0.83, and 2.5 μM, respectively; indomethacin was administered at a concentration of 80 μM. A normal control group (i.e., zebrafish treated with fish farming water) and a model control group were also established. After culturing in an incubator at 28°C for 3 hours, 10 zebrafish were randomly selected from each group for observation, photography, and image saving under a fluorescence microscope. Image analysis was performed using Nikon NIS-Elements D 3.10 advanced image processing software to calculate the number of inflammatory neutrophils (N) in the zebrafish. Statistical results were expressed as mean ± SE. The statistical analysis results of the number of inflammatory neutrophils in the zebrafish were used to evaluate whether "Example 5" and "Example 6" had significant anti-inflammatory effects on LPS-induced inflammation in zebrafish. The formulas for calculating the anti-inflammatory effects of "Example 5" and "Example 6" are as follows:

[0787] Inflammation reduction rate (%) = ((N(model control group) - N(test sample group)) / N(model control group))*100%

[0788] Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA and Dunnett's T-test, and p < 0.05 indicated a significant difference.

[0789] Experimental results

[0790] 1. MTC

[0791] The maximum solubility of "Example 5" in DMSO is 20 mM, and the maximum DMSO concentration that zebrafish can tolerate is 1%. Therefore, the maximum detectable concentration for evaluating the anti-inflammatory effect of "Example 5" is 200 μM. At concentrations of 200, 100, 50, and 10 μM, 30 zebrafish died, with a mortality rate of 100%. At a concentration of 5 μM, 3 zebrafish died, with a mortality rate of 10%. At a concentration of 2.5 μM, the zebrafish were in good condition and no drug was precipitated. Therefore, the maximum detectable concentration for evaluating the anti-inflammatory effect of "Example 5" is 2.5 μM.

[0792] The maximum solubility of the drug in DMSO in "Example 6" is 20 mM. The maximum DMSO concentration that zebrafish can tolerate is 1%. Therefore, the maximum dosing concentration for evaluating the anti-inflammatory effect of "Example 6" is 200 μM. In "Example 6", 30 zebrafish died at concentrations of 200, 100 and 50 μM, with a mortality rate of 100%; 4 zebrafish died at concentrations of 10 and 5 μM, with a mortality rate of 13.33%; at a concentration of 2.5 μM, the zebrafish were in good condition and no drug was precipitated. Therefore, the maximum detectable concentration for evaluating the anti-inflammatory effect of "Example 6" is 2.5 μM.

[0793] The maximum detection concentrations for "Example 5" and "Example 6" were determined based on the results of concentration exploration; that is, the maximum detection concentration for evaluating the anti-inflammatory effects of "Example 5" and "Example 6" was 2.5 μM. See Table 3 for details.

[0794] Table 3. Statistics on the number of zebrafish that died at the detection concentration in "Example 5" and "Example 6" (n=30)

[0795]

[0796]

[0797] 2. Anti-inflammatory effect

[0798] As shown in Table 4, Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, where Figure 4 The dashed area represents neutrophils at the site of inflammation. The number of neutrophils at the site of inflammation in the model control group (18) was significantly lower than that in the normal control group (3), p < 0.001, indicating the successful establishment of the LPS-induced transgenic neutrophil fluorescent zebrafish inflammation model. The number of neutrophils at the site of inflammation in the 80 μM indomethacin group (6) was significantly lower than that in the model control group, p < 0.001, with an anti-inflammatory effect of 67%, demonstrating that indomethacin has a significant anti-inflammatory effect on inflamed zebrafish.

[0799] In “Example 5”, at concentrations of 0.28, 0.83, and 2.5 μM, the number of neutrophils in the inflammatory sites of zebrafish were 12, 7, and 6, respectively, and the anti-inflammatory effects on zebrafish were 33%, 61%, and 67%, respectively. Compared with the model control group (18), the p values ​​of the 0.28, 0.83, and 2.5 μM concentration groups were all <0.001, suggesting that “Compound 3” has a significant anti-inflammatory effect on inflamed zebrafish at concentrations of 0.28–2.5 μM.

[0800] "Example 6": When the concentrations are 0.28, 0.83, and 2.5 μM, the numbers of neutrophils in the inflammatory sites of zebrafish are 12, 8, and 7 respectively, and the anti-inflammatory effects on zebrafish are 33%, 56%, and 61% respectively. Compared with the model control group (18), the p values of the 0.28, 0.83, and 2.5 μM concentration groups are all < 0.001, indicating that "Compound 4" has a significant anti-inflammatory effect on inflamed zebrafish at a concentration of 0.28 - 2.5 μM.

[0801] Table 4. Quantitative results of the effects of each experimental group on zebrafish inflammation (n = 10)

[0802]

[0803]

[0804] Experimental conclusion

[0805] Under the conditions of the experimental concentrations, both Example 5 and Example 6 have significant anti-inflammatory effects on inflamed zebrafish.

[0806] Experiment 5: Pharmacodynamic study of the compound on the rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (MCAO) injury model

[0807] The effects of the compound on the mouse cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (MCAO) injury model were evaluated using neurological function scores and cerebral infarction areas. The results showed that the test compound had a protective effect on mouse cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (MCAO) injury.

[0822]

[0823] MCAO Model Making

[0824] Mice were fasted overnight before surgery, but water was permitted. They were pre-anesthetized in an isoflurane gas anesthesia machine induction chamber with an isoflurane concentration of 2.5%. After the mice showed no response when their hind paws were clamped with dissecting forceps, they were transferred to the anesthesia mask, and the isoflurane concentration was reduced to 1.5%. The mice's body temperature was maintained at approximately 37°C during surgery using a thermometer and rectal thermometer. The hair on the mice's necks was shaved while they were supine. After disinfecting the skin with iodine and alcohol, an incision was made in the midline of the neck. The tissue was bluntly dissected, and the common carotid artery (CCA) was exposed under a stereomicroscope. A ligation was made proximal to the CCA using 6-0 braided suture. The external carotid artery (ECA) and internal carotid artery (ICA) were dissected superiorly. A permanent ligation and a temporary ligation were made distal to the ECA. A loose ligation was made at the carotid sinus. The ECA vessel wall was cut at this point, and a suture plug (Beijing Xinong Technology Co., Ltd., A5-162020) was inserted. The loose ligation was then tightened to secure the suture plug. The ECA was melted using an electrocautery pen, the external carotid artery ligation was released, and a suture was inserted into the ICA until cerebral blood flow dropped to approximately 10% of baseline. The suture occluded the middle cerebral artery (MCA) for 30 minutes, after which the suture was removed, the vascular stump was cauterized, and the CCA ligation was released. The neck skin was sutured, and the mouse was placed in an intensive care cage, maintaining its postoperative body temperature at 37°C until tissue collection.

[0825] Cerebral blood flow measurement: The mouse head was fixed under stereotaxic guidance, the hair on the head was shaved, and a midline incision was made. The periosteum of the skull was removed, and the fiber optic cable of the laser Doppler flowmeter was glued to a position at Bregma AP 1.0 mm, ML 5.0 mm. Intraoperative blood flow changes in the middle cerebral artery were recorded. Successful modeling was defined as a decrease in cerebral blood flow to 80%-90% of baseline.

[0826] Drug preparation

[0827] Media: saline

[0828] Solvent: 20% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin

[0829] Preparation of PK sample: First, calculate the minimum daily drug dosage m2 based on the total weight of each group of mice and the dosage. Weigh slightly more than m2 of P2 into a bottle, and calculate the solvent volume v2 according to the drug administration volume of 10 mL / kg. Add 20% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin solution (v2) to the bottle, vortex for one minute, sonicate for 15 minutes, and vortex again for one minute until completely dissolved.

[0830] Solvent: 20% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin

[0831] Preparation of PK Samples: First, calculate the minimum daily drug dosage (m3) based on the total weight of each group of mice and the dosage. Weigh slightly more than m3 of P3 into a mortar and granulate. Calculate the solvent volume (v3) based on a drug dosage of 10 mL / kg, and measure v2 of the solvent using a syringe. Add 2-3 drops of solvent to the mortar and grind for 5 minutes. After the solvent has evaporated, add another 2-3 drops of solvent and grind for another 5 minutes, repeating this process three times. Then, wash the compound in the mortar thoroughly with solvent in small amounts several times, and add it to a suitable sample vial using a clean glass dropper. Sonicate for 15 minutes, then vortex for 5 minutes until homogeneous and free of large particles.

[0832] Detection indicators and methods

[0833] Weight: Record the weight of mice on the day before surgery and 24 hours after surgery.

[0834] Neurological function assessment: Longa behavioral scores were performed on mice 2 hours and 24 hours after surgery.

[0835] Longa behavioral scoring criteria:

[0836] 0 points: No symptoms of neurological damage;

[0837] 1 point: Unable to fully extend the opposite forepaw;

[0838] 2 points: Turn in circles to the opposite side;

[0839] 3 points: Leaning to the opposite side;

[0840] 4 points: Unable to walk on their own, loss of consciousness.

[0841] Forelimb grip strength test

[0842] Forelimb grip strength tests were performed on mice 24 hours before and 24 hours after surgery. The mice were placed on a grip strength meter and actively pulled the grip strength sensing rod. The peak grip strength was recorded. The measurements were repeated three times and the average value was taken.

[0843] Infarct area

[0844] Twenty-four hours post-surgery, mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and euthanized by decapitation. The entire brain was dissected, rinsed twice with physiological saline, and placed under a coronal facial model. The anterior 1 mm olfactory bulb and posterior 4 mm cerebellum were removed. The brain was then cut into four 2 mm slices. The brain slices were stained with 1% TTC solution at 37°C in the dark for 20 min, then transferred to 4% PFA and stored at 4°C in the dark for 48 hours before photography. The volume of cerebral infarction and edema was measured using ImageJ software.

[0845] Cerebral edema volume = (volume of the injured hemisphere - volume of the contralateral hemisphere) / volume of the contralateral hemisphere * 100%

[0846] Corrected infarct volume = (Volume of contralateral hemisphere - (Volume of injured hemisphere - Volume of white infarct area)) / Volume of contralateral hemisphere * 100%

[0847] statistics

[0848] Data from each group were analyzed using Graghpad Prism 7.0, and experimental results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. One-way ANOVA was used to compare whether there were statistically significant differences between groups; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

[0849] Experimental results

[0850] like Figure 7 As shown, during MCAO surgery, cerebral blood flow in each group (n=3) decreased to about 10% of baseline, indicating that the model was successful and could be evaluated for efficacy.

[0851] like Figure 8 As shown, the body weight of all groups decreased after surgery, but there was no significant difference in body weight among the groups of mice that underwent MCAO surgery.

[0852] like Figure 9 As shown, the grip strength of the forelimbs of mice in all groups decreased significantly after surgery. Among them, the sham-operated group and the MCAO model group showed significant differences (P<0.001), the MCAO model group and the positive control drug edaravone group showed significant differences (P<0.001), and the MCAO model group and the drug No. 3 group showed significant differences (P<0.001).

[0853] like Figure 10 As shown, the neurological deficit scores of the MCAO model group 2 hours after surgery were significantly different from those of the No. 2 and No. 3 drug groups (P<0.05); the neurological deficit scores of the MCAO model group 24 hours after surgery were significantly different from those of the positive control drug edaravone group and No. 3 drug group (P<0.05).

[0854] like Figure 11 As shown, TTC staining results indicated that the cerebral infarction volume in the MCAO model group was significantly different from that in the positive control drug edaravone group (P<0.001), drug 2 (P<0.001), drug 3 (P<0.001), drug 4 (P<0.01), and drug 5 (P<0.01).

[0855] like Figure 12 As shown, TTC staining results indicated that the cerebral edema volume in the MCAO model group was significantly different from that in the positive control drug edaravone group (P<0.01), drug 2 (P<0.001), drug 3 (P<0.001), drug 4 (P<0.001), drug 5 (P<0.05), and drug 6 (P<0.05).

[0856] Experiment 6 evaluated the effect of Example 6 in an LPS-induced mouse depression-like model.

[0857] LPS was used to induce peripheral and central inflammation in mice, thereby causing depressive-like symptoms. Changes in depression-related behavioral indicators in mice after drug administration were detected. The results showed that Example 6 (ND) had an antidepressant effect in mice.

[0870]

[0871] Establishment of LPS-induced depression-like model

[0872] Modeling method: LPS (2 mg / kg, ip, QD) was injected into mice on days 1, 2, and 3 to induce peripheral and central inflammation. The ND drug test group was given pre-protection 2 hours before LPS injection (ND 30 mg / kg, po, QD), and forced swimming, tail suspension, and sucrose preference tests were performed on day 4.

[0873] Preparation of test drugs and model inducers

[0874] Solvent (0.5% CMC-Na solution): Take 0.5g of white CMC-Na solid powder and add it to 100ml of double-distilled water. Vortex until dissolved. The prepared solution should be stored in a sealed container at 4°C. This solution can be stored for one month, but if mold is found, it must not be used in experiments and must be prepared again.

[0875] During the experiment, the test compounds and model inducers were prepared fresh for each use. The specific preparation methods are shown in Table 9.

[0876] Table 9. Preparation of Solvents and Test Reagents

[0877]

[0878] Detection indicators and methods

[0879] General observation involves observing and recording the animal's living conditions.

[0880] Forced swim test (FST)

[0881] Mice were placed in a transparent glass cylinder (diameter: 23 cm; height: 31 cm) containing 15 cm of water, with the temperature maintained at 24 ± 1 degrees Celsius. The free-time test (FST) lasted 6 minutes, during which a high-definition camera was used to record the process. Professional testing software calculated the immobility time of the mice. After the test, the mice were immediately returned to their cages, and care was taken to keep them warm.

[0882] Sugar water preference test (SPT)

[0883] Before testing, mice were trained by placing two bottles of 1% (w / v) sucrose solution in each cage. After 24 hours, one of the bottles was replaced with pure water. After acclimatization, mice were fasted and deprived of water for 10-24 hours before testing. Two pre-weighed water bottles were placed in each cage, one containing 1% (w / v) sucrose solution and the other containing pure water. After 12 hours, both bottles were weighed again, and the consumption of sucrose solution and pure water by each mouse was recorded.

[0884] Sugar water preference index % = Sugar water consumption / (Sugar water consumption + Pure water consumption) × 100%.

[0885] Tail suspension test (TST)

[0886] After acclimatization, the mice were attached to a suspension bar with their tails attached, their heads approximately 20-25 cm above the ground, for about 6 minutes. A high-definition camera recorded the event, and behavioral analysis software was used to identify and count the time the mice remained still. The mice were returned to their cages after the experiment.

[0887] statistics

[0888] Experimental results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. One-way ANOVA was used to compare whether there were statistical differences between groups.

[0889] Experimental results

[0891] like Figure 13 As shown, the FST immobility time results for each group of mice indicated that the cumulative immobility time in Example 6 (ND) was significantly lower than that in the LPS group. **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001.

[0892] SPT

[0893] like Figure 14 As shown, the results of the sugar water preference rate in the SPT of mice in each group indicated that Example 6 (ND) did not show a significant increase compared to the LPS group. *, P<0.05; ***, P<0.001

[0894] TST

[0895] like Figure 15 As shown, the TST immobility time results of each group of mice indicated that the cumulative immobility time in Example 6 (ND) was significantly lower than that in the LPS group. *, P<0.05; ***, P<0.001

[0896] Conclusion: Compound Example 6 (ND) showed good antidepressant effects in FST and TST experiments.

[0897] Experiment 7. Evaluation of the effect of compound Example 20A in LPS-induced mouse peripheral and central inflammation models.

[0917] Modeling method: LPS (2 mg / kg, ip, QD) was injected into mice on days 1, 2, and 3 to induce peripheral and central inflammation. The ND drug test group was given the drug 2 hours before LPS injection for pre-protection (ND 30 mg / kg, po, QD). After the experiment, plasma and brain tissue of mice were collected for the analysis of inflammatory factors and peroxidases.

[0918] Preparation of test drugs and model inducers

[0919] Solvent (0.5% CMC-Na solution): Take 0.5g of white CMC-Na solid powder and add it to 100ml of double-distilled water. Vortex until dissolved. The prepared solution should be stored in a sealed container at 4°C. This solution can be stored for one month, but if mold is found, it must not be used in experiments and must be prepared again.

[0920] During the experiment, the test compounds and model inducers were prepared fresh for each use. The specific preparation methods are shown in Table 12.

[0924] General observation involves observing and recording the animal's living conditions.

[0925] Animal-based

[0926] Serum: Mice were anesthetized with 1% sodium pentobarbital, and blood was collected by enucleation into EP tubes. The tubes were incubated at 4°C for 1 hour and then centrifuged at low temperature. The supernatant was collected and then frozen in liquid nitrogen.

[0927] Hippocampal tissue: Mice were anesthetized with 1% sodium pentobarbital and then perfused with cold PBS. The brain was then removed and the tissue was frozen in liquid nitrogen in EP tubes on ice.

[0928] Measurement of oxidative stress-related indicators

[0929] Frozen plasma was collected and tested for various indicators using reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection kits, hydrogen peroxide detection kits, and nitric oxide detection kits. The specific operating procedures are the same as the instructions for each kit.

[0930] Frozen hippocampal tissue was collected, and RIPA tissue lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors was added. The tissues were thoroughly homogenized and lysed. After low-temperature centrifugation, the supernatant was collected, and protein quantification was performed using a BCA protein quantification kit. All tissue samples were adjusted to a uniform protein concentration, and various indicators were measured using reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydrogen peroxide, and nitric oxide (NO) detection kits. Specific operating procedures are the same as those specified in the kit instructions.

[0935] Experimental results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. One-way ANOVA was used to compare whether there were statistical differences between groups.

[0936] Experimental results

[0937] Oxidative stress related indicators

[0938] like Figures 16-23 As shown, the results of detecting key indicators of oxidative stress in the serum and hippocampus of mice in each group showed that the ROS level, H2O2 concentration, and NO concentration in the serum of Example 20A (ND) were significantly improved compared with those in the LPS group, indicating that Example 20A (ND) has a good antioxidant effect. *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01.

[0939] Inflammatory factor markers

[0940] like Figures 24-29 As shown, the results of the detection of important inflammation-related indicators in the serum and hippocampal tissue of mice in each group indicated that Example 20A only affected IL-1β in serum and IL-10 in the hippocampus, suggesting that Example 20A (ND) has an anti-inflammatory effect. *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01.

[0941] Experiment 8: Determination of the binding strength of small molecule compounds to the mitochondrial respiratory chain supercomplex.

[0942] Experimental and Analytical Methods: HEK293 cells were cultured under 5% CO2 conditions, and the mitochondrial respiratory chain supercomplex I1III2IV1 was purified from them. The supercomplex was chemically covalently coupled to the surface of a metal chip, and solutions of small molecules at different concentrations were passed through the chip. Changes in the reflectance of the metal surface were monitored using SPR technology on a Biacore 8K plus analyzer, and corresponding response curves for small molecule binding were plotted. The binding strength (KD value) between the small molecules and the human mitochondrial respiratory chain supercomplex I1III2IV1 was calculated using the built-in fitting software of the Biacore 8K plus instrument.

[0943] Compound preparation: Small molecule compounds from Examples 1A, 13B, 23, 24, 25, and 26 were dissolved in ddH2O to prepare 10 mM stock solutions. The Example 13B stock solution was then serially diluted with 10 mM HEPES (pH=7.4) solution to 1.5625 µM, 0.78125 µM, 0.390625 µM, and 0.1953125 µM. Similarly, the Example 1A stock solution was serially diluted with 10 mM HEPES (pH=7.4) solution to 6.25 µM, 3.125 µM, 1.5625 µM, 0.78125 µM, 0.390625 µM, and 0.1953125 µM. For measurement, 200 µL of each concentration of small molecule solution was passed through the surface of the metal chip.

[0944] The results are as follows Figures 30a to 32b As shown, the binding strength of small molecules to respiratory chain complex I reached a very high level. Experiment 9. Detection of the catalytic activity of small molecule compounds promoting SMP (submitochondrial particles).

[0945] Experimental and Analytical Methods: HEK293 cells were cultured under 5% CO2 conditions, and mitochondria were purified from them. SMPs (submitochondrial particles) were obtained by sonication of the mitochondria. SMPs were incubated with different concentrations of small molecule compounds or a control drug (Rotenone, 2 μM) for 10 minutes, followed by the addition of 500 μM NADH. NADH absorbance was measured using an Enspire multimode microplate reader, and enzyme activity curves showing the decrease in NADH concentration catalyzed by SMP were plotted. Linear fitting was performed, and the maximum reaction rate of SMP was calculated. The addition of 1 mM FeCN to the normal NADH catalytic system of SMP caused a short circuit in the electron pathway from NADH to coenzyme Q. In the presence of FeCN and Rotenone, the NADH concentration decrease curve was also measured, and linear fitting was performed to calculate the maximum reaction rate at the flavin site of SMP.

[0946] Compound preparation: Small molecule compounds from Examples 25A, 26A, 41A, 27A, 42A, 29A, 32A, 33A, 34A, and 35A were dissolved in ddH2O to prepare 10 mM stock solutions. Then, the small molecules were serially diluted with 10 mM Tris buffer to 0.075, 0.1, 0.133, 0.178, 0.237, 0.316, 0.422, 0.563, 0.75, and 1 µM for SMP catalysis experiments.

[0947] The results are as follows Figure 33 As shown, in the catalytic experimental system, the control group exhibited catalytic activity, and Rotenone completely blocked the dehydrogenation reaction of NADH, indicating that the reaction system was effective. Small molecule compounds within 1 µM (Examples 25A, 26A, 41A, 27A, 42A, 29A, 32A, 33A, 34A, and 35A) had no significant effect on the activity of SMP. However, high concentrations of small molecule compounds (Examples 25A, 26A, 41A, 27A, 42A, 29A, 32A, 33A, 34A, and 35A) had a significant impact on the activity of SMP.

[0948] Experiment 10. Detection of small molecule compounds promoting mitochondrial stress in HPAEC cells.

[0949] Experimental and analytical methods: HPAEC cells (human pulmonary artery endothelial cells) were purchased from ATCC and passaged four times under 5% CO2 conditions before being transferred to Seahorse cell culture plates, approximately 20,000 cells per well. After cell attachment, HPAEC cells were incubated with 0.5 and 1 μM of Example 13B for 48 hours. The oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of each well was measured using a Seahorse XFe96 analyzer, and OCR curves were plotted. After the measurement, the total protein content in each well was determined using BCA, and the OCR curves were corrected.

[0950] The results are as follows Figure 34As shown, in the resting state (time: 0-20 minutes), the five compounds had almost no effect on cellular oxygen consumption. The addition of oligomycin, an inhibitor of complex V, prevented the consumption of the proton gradient; the high proton gradient inhibited the activity of complex I, leading to a decrease in oxygen consumption rate, but the reduction was almost identical between the different small molecules and the control group. The addition of the uncoupling agent FCCP caused a sharp drop in the proton gradient and a significant increase in oxygen consumption. All small molecules increased the rate of increase in oxygen consumption, reflecting that these small molecules can enhance the sensitivity of complex I to the sharp drop in the proton gradient, prompting complex I to more strongly increase the electron transport rate. Finally, the addition of Rotenone (an inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I) and Antimycin (an inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport chain complex III) completely blocked electron transport, reducing the oxygen consumption rate to its lowest value; the small molecules had no effect on blocking electron transport.

[0951] Experiment 11. Detection of small molecule compounds protecting HPAEC cells from SARS-CoV-2 Spike-induced ROS production.

[0952] Experimental and analytical methods: HPAEC cells (human pulmonary artery endothelial cells) were purchased from ATCC and passaged four times under 5% CO2 conditions before being transferred to MatTek cell imaging dishes, approximately 50,000 cells per dish. HPAEC cells were incubated with Spike (SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, 8 μg / mL) for 24 hours, or pre-incubated with Example 13B (0.25, 0.5, 1 μM) for 6 hours before incubating with Spike (8 μg / mL) for 24 hours. Mitochondria were then stained using MitoSox Red, PKMDR, and MitotrackerGreen mitochondrial fluorescent probes, and cell fluorescence confocal images were captured using a Leica stimulated emission depletion super-resolution confocal fluorescence microscope (STED). Subsequently, ImageJ was used to measure the fluorescence intensity of cells in different groups. The standard deviation and standard error were calculated using the obtained data, and a T-test analysis was performed to calculate the p-value to determine whether there were significant differences.

[0953] Results: After Spike was added to HPAEC cells, mitochondrial ROS was significantly increased compared to the control group (brighter red fluorescence). Figures 35a to 35b As shown, after protecting mitochondria with small molecule compounds in Examples 13B, 33, and 34, the addition of Spike resulted in a significant decrease in mitochondrial ROS. Using the PKMDR / MTG value as an indicator of the transmembrane potential difference per unit mass of mitochondria, small molecule compounds in Examples 13B, 33, and 34 showed a protective effect on the mitochondrial transmembrane potential difference.

[0954] Experiment 12. Detection of the effect of small molecule compounds on improving atherosclerosis in APOE mice

[0955] Experimental and Analytical Methods: Six-week-old male APOE- / - mutant B6J mice and WT B6J mice were purchased and acclimatized in the housing for two weeks. At eight weeks of age, all groups except the Vehicle and WT groups were fed a high-fat diet (Research Diets, D12492). At nine weeks of age, the Control group was given a 10% cyclodextrin solution, while the other groups were administered different concentrations of small molecule compounds orally every two days. After one month of treatment, approximately 500 mL of blood was collected from the orbital vein of the APOE mice. After centrifugation, the supernatant plasma was collected and sent for analysis of total cholesterol (CHOL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. After 16 weeks of high-fat feeding, the APOE mice were sacrificed, and the aortic arch was dissected for sampling. Mouse aortic arches were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and then the internal arterial plaques of the aortic arch were stained with Oil Red chromatograph. The stained aortic arch was then imaged using a Zeiss stereomicroscope. The images were analyzed using ImageJ to determine the overall area of ​​the longitudinal section of the aortic arch and the area of ​​the orange-red plaques, calculate the plaque area ratio, and perform a T-test to calculate the p-value to determine whether there were significant differences.

[0956] Compound treatment: Small molecule compounds from Examples 13B, 37, 38, 39, and 40 ( Figures 36a to 36d The solution was added to a 10% cyclodextrin solution to achieve a final concentration of 12 mg / mL. Then, it was serially diluted with 10% cyclodextrin solution to 6, 3, and 1.5 mg / mL.

[0957] The results are as follows Figures 36a to 36dAs shown, the total cholesterol level in the serum of APOE mice in the Control group was close to 800 mg / dL after high-fat feeding, while the total cholesterol level in the serum of WT genotype mice was only about 100 mg / dL. Administration of small molecule compounds (Examples 13B, 37, 38, 39, and 40) all reduced the total cholesterol level in APOE mice. Meanwhile, small molecule compounds (Examples 13B, 37, 38, 39, and 40) had virtually no effect on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in APOE mice, while the trend of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was almost identical to that of total cholesterol. This indicates that small molecule compounds (Examples 13B, 37, 38, 39, and 40) primarily reduced harmful LDL while maintaining beneficial HDL. Oil Red staining of the APOE aortic arch clearly showed that the orange-red plaque area in the treatment group was significantly less than that in the Control group, which was statistically significant. The above results demonstrate that the small molecule compounds in Examples 13B, 37, 38, 39, and 40 can reduce serum LDL levels, thereby inhibiting the occurrence of atherosclerosis.

[0958] Experiment 13. Water Maze in AD Rats

[0959] Experimental and Analytical Methods: Human APP mutant protein was introduced into SD rat embryos using CRISPR Cas9 technology to obtain a transgenic AD rat model. This strain of rats showed amyloid protein deposition in the brain starting at 2 months of age and exhibited certain behavioral impairments at 5 months of age. To verify the treatment effect, medication was administered from 7 months of age to 13 months of age, and a water maze test was performed to verify the improvement in spatial memory. The water maze test consisted of three phases: Phase 1 (1 day): Adaptation phase. A 15cm diameter escape platform was placed in a 1.8m diameter pool. Four spatial markers (circles, triangles, squares, and crosses) were placed on the pool walls to indicate the cardinal directions. Rats were sequentially placed into the clear water along the pool walls, with the water level 1cm below the escape platform. The rats easily found the escape platform, climbed onto it, and were rescued from the water maze, thus learning the basic rules of the water maze. Phase 2 (4 days): Training phase. The pool setup remains unchanged, but the water level is raised 1 cm above the escape platform, and ink is poured in to turn the water black, making the escape platform invisible. Each day, rats are placed into the pool from the four cardinal directions (east, south, west, and north). They are rescued after successfully climbing onto the escape platform. If the rat cannot find the platform within 90 seconds, it is guided to climb onto it and stand for 15 seconds before being rescued. The third stage, lasting one day, is the testing stage. The escape platform is removed, and the rat is placed back in along the pool wall. Rats with strong spatial memory will repeatedly navigate to the original escape platform location. The latency to the platform upon first arrival, the number of times the rat traverses the platform, the average distance to the platform, and the time spent in the target quadrant are recorded.

[0960] Results: A total of three groups of mice were included: the WT group (n=13), the model group (AD group) (n=7), and the drug-treated group (Example 13B group) (n=11). The latency period for the first arrival at the plateau was as follows: Figure 37a ), number of platform visits (e.g.) Figure 37b ), and the average distance from the platform (e.g. Figure 37c ), the time spent in the target quadrant (e.g.) Figure 37d In terms of indicators such as ( ), the rats in the drug-treated group showed improved behavioral performance compared to the model group. Figures 37e to 37g The display shows heatmaps of the movement trajectories of rats in each group in the pool.

[0961] Experiment 14. T-maze of AD rats

[0962] Experimental and Analytical Methods: Human APP mutant protein was introduced into SD rat embryos using CRISPR Cas9 technology to obtain a transgenic AD rat model. This strain of rats showed amyloid protein deposition in the brain starting at 2 months of age and exhibited certain behavioral impairments at 5 months of age. To verify the therapeutic effect, medication was administered from 7 months of age to 15 months of age, and a T-maze test was performed to verify its improvement on working memory. The T-maze has four phases: I. Adaptation Phase: Food is placed in both arms, and both valves are open. Each rat is trained twice. The next phase begins when all rats have consumed food from both sides within 5 minutes in both tests. II. Forced Selection Phase: One valve is closed, allowing the rat to consume food from the opposite side. Then, the opposite valve is closed again, allowing the rat to consume food from the other side. This constitutes one training session. Each animal is trained four times daily for three days. III. Self-Selection Phase: One valve is partially closed, allowing the rat to consume food from the opposite side. Then, all valves are opened; if the rat moves to the other side, it can consume the food there. If the rat moves to the same side, it receives no food and is confined to that side for 30 seconds. This constitutes one training session. Each animal is trained four times per day until the accuracy rate exceeds 75% for two consecutive days, at which point the animal proceeds to the next stage. IV. Delayed Self-Selection Test Stage: This stage is essentially the same as Stage III, except that an interval is added before the self-selection begins after the forced selection ends. The intervals are set to 1.5 min, 3 min, and 10 min. Each interval is tested four times.

[0963] Results: A total of three groups of mice were included: WT group (n=3), model group (AD group) (n=2), and drug-treated group (Example 13B group) (n=6). Figure 38 As shown, there was no significant difference between the model group and the drug-treated group at 1.5 min and 3 min, but at 10 min, the working memory of the model group was significantly weakened, while the working memory of the drug-treated group remained intact.

[0964] Experiment 15. Nesting behavior in AD mice

[0965] Experimental and Analytical Methods: This experiment used transgenic mice introduced in Example 13B of APP / P, with C57BL / 6J as the background mice. The phenotype of this model mouse was characterized by cognitive behavioral changes at 3 months of age, the appearance of senile plaques at 5 months of age, and the formation of numerous senile plaques at 12 months of age. One symptom of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is inability to care for oneself, and nesting behavior reflects the self-care level of mice. At the start of the experiment, 10 rectangular pieces of paper were neatly arranged in order in the mouse cages. Normal mice would tear the paper into pieces and build a nest, while mice with severe AD symptoms would not tear the paper to build a nest. Scores were given based on the degree of tearing and the completeness of the nest; higher scores indicated better nesting behavior and a higher level of self-care.

[0966] Results: In this experiment, medication was administered starting at 2 months of age. Nesting behavior scoring was performed at 3 and 6 months of medication. Four small molecules were tested, as described in Examples 23, 24, 25, and 26. Results are as follows... Figure 39a and 39b The results showed that the nest-building behavior of the model group was significantly reduced compared to the WT group, and Example 25 showed the most significant improvement in nest-building behavior.

[0967] Experiment 16. Water Maze in AD Mice

[0968] Experimental and Analytical Methods: This experiment used transgenic mice introduced in Example 13B of APP / P, with C57BL / 6J as the background mice. The phenotype of this model mouse was characterized by cognitive behavioral changes at 3 months of age, the appearance of senile plaques at 5 months of age, and the formation of numerous senile plaques at 12 months of age. The water maze experiment was divided into three stages: Stage 1 (1 day): Adaptation stage. An 8cm diameter escape platform was placed in a 1.2m diameter pool. Four spatial markers (circles, triangles, squares, and crosses) were placed on the pool walls to indicate the four cardinal directions. Rats were sequentially placed into the clear water along the pool walls, with the water level 1cm below the escape platform. The mice easily found the escape platform, climbed it, and were rescued from the water maze, thus learning the basic rules of the water maze. Stage 2 (4 days): Training stage. The pool setup remained unchanged, but the water level was raised to 1cm above the escape platform, and ink was poured in to make the water black, obscuring the escape platform. Each day, mice were placed into the pool from the four cardinal directions and rescued after successfully climbing the escape platform. If the platform is not found within 90 seconds, the rat is guided to climb onto it and stand for 15 seconds before being rescued. The third stage, lasting one day, is the testing stage. The escape platform is removed, and the rat is placed back in along the pool wall. Rats with strong spatial memory will repeatedly move between the original escape platform location. The number of platform movements and the time spent in the target quadrant are recorded.

[0969] Results: In this experiment, medication was administered starting at 2 months of age. Spatial memory was assessed using the water maze test 6 months after administration. Four small molecules were tested in Examples 23, 24, 25, and 26. Results are as follows: Figure 40a and 40b The results show that the spatial memory ability of the model group is significantly weakened compared to the WT group, while the improvement of spatial memory ability in Example 25 is the most obvious in terms of indicators such as the number of platform shuttles and the dwell time in the target quadrant.

[0970] Experiment 17. Light and Dark Box for AD Mice

[0971] Experimental and Analytical Methods: This experiment used transgenic mice introduced in Example 13B of APP / P, with C57BL / 6J as the background mice. The phenotype of this model mouse was cognitive behavioral changes at 3 months of age, the appearance of senile plaques at 5 months of age, and the formation of numerous senile plaques at 12 months of age. The principle of the light-dark box experiment is that mice have a natural tendency to move towards darkness; when placed in a light box, they will spontaneously enter the connected dark box. However, in this experiment, the dark box was equipped with an electric stimulation mechanism, and the mice would be shocked upon entering. Thus, normal mice stopped entering the dark box after being shocked several times, while AD mice did not remember being shocked upon entering and would continue to enter. Therefore, the latency period before the mice spontaneously enter the dark box after being placed in the light box reflects the strength of the mouse's memory of the electric shock; the later the mice enter the dark box, the stronger their memory of the electric shock.

[0972] Results: In this experiment, medication was administered starting at 2 months of age. Spatial memory was assessed using the water maze test 6 months after administration. Four small molecules were tested in Examples 23, 24, 25, and 26. Results are as follows: Figure 41 The results showed that the model group had a significantly weaker memory of electric shock compared to the WT group, while the two small molecules in Examples 23 and 25 could effectively enhance the model mice's memory of electric shock.

[0973] Experiment 18. TDP43 A315T mouse lifespan

[0974] Experimental and analytical methods: This experiment used TDP43 A315T Transgenic mice, a strain that mimics the pathogenesis of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). These mice typically begin to die around day 90, reaching a median mortality rate around day 120. Our experiment consisted of two groups: a model group and a treatment group. The model group received no treatment, while the treatment group received the drug starting on day 60, testing the small molecule Example 13B at a dose of 40 mpk. Each group contained 20 mice. The date of death and body weight of each mouse were recorded, and body mass curves and survival curves were plotted.

[0975] Results: Body weight is an important indicator of ALS disease progression. Figure 42aAs shown, the body weight of the model group mice began to decrease significantly at week 13, while the weight of the drug-treated group mice did not begin to decrease significantly until week 16. Figure 42b The survival curves shown indicate that the model group mice began to die en masse from day 90, with a median mortality rate of approximately 120 days, and all mice died by day 140. In contrast, the drug-treated group only began to die after day 100, with mass mortality starting after day 120, a median mortality rate of 135 days, and all mice died by day 150. These results demonstrate that the small molecule Example 13B can effectively prolong TDP43. A315T The survival time of transgenic mice suggests that this small molecule may effectively prolong the survival time of ALS patients.

[0976] Experiment 19. SOD G93A Mouse gait analysis

[0977] Experimental and analytical methods: This experiment used SOD. G93A Transgenic mice, this strain of mice mimics the pathogenesis of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), exhibiting significant motor dysfunction with increasing age. Gait analysis is a behavioral analysis method for assessing motor dysfunction. Mice with motor dysfunction show a significantly reduced stride length. Our experiment consisted of two groups: a model group and a drug-treated group. The model group received no drug, while the drug-treated group received the drug starting on day 60, testing for the small molecule Example 13B at a dose of 40 mpk. Ten mice were used in each group, and the stride length of each mouse was measured at week 19.

[0978] result: Figure 43 The results showed that the stride length of the mice in the drug-treated group was much greater than that of the mice in the model group, indicating that the small molecule Example 13B significantly improved the motor ability of SODG93A mice.

[0979] Experiment 20. SOD G93A Mouse open field

[0980] Experimental and analytical methods: This experiment used SOD. G93A Transgenic mice, a strain that mimics the pathogenesis of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), exhibit significant motor dysfunction with increasing age. Calculating average movement speed in an open field is a behavioral analysis method for assessing motor dysfunction. Mice with motor dysfunction show a significantly reduced average movement speed. Our experiment consisted of three groups: a WT group, a model group, and a drug-treated group. The WT group consisted of normal mice, the model group received no drug, and the drug-treated group received the drug starting on day 60, testing for the small molecule Example 13B at a dose of 40 mpk. Ten mice were in each group, and the experiment was conducted weekly from week 14 until week 19.

[0981] result: Figure 44The results showed that, over the 6 weeks of testing, the average movement rate of mice in the drug-treated group was significantly higher than that of mice in the model group, indicating that the small molecule Example 13B significantly improved SOD levels. G93A The motor ability of mice.

[0982] Experiment 21. DSS mouse enteritis model

[0983] Experimental and Analytical Methods: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate whether the test substances (Examples 13B, 33, and 34) administered orally multiple times via gavage had a therapeutic effect on ulcerative colitis induced by 3.0% sodium dextran sulfate (DSS) in mice. Sixty healthy mice were randomly divided into six groups of ten mice each, based on their body weight: a normal control group, a model group, a positive control group, and groups containing different types of test substances (Examples 13B, 33, and 34, all at 80 mpk). Mice other than the normal control group were given free access to 3.0% DSS solution for 8 consecutive days to induce the ulcerative colitis model. The normal control group was given free access to autoclaved filtered water. Drug administration began on the day of model initiation, with the test substances administered orally via gavage at the designed dose once daily for 9 consecutive days. During the administration period, the mice's body weight was monitored daily, and the shape of their feces and the presence of bleeding were observed. The day after the last administration, following deep CO2 anesthesia, blood was drawn from the heart, and plasma was collected and stored at -80°C. Subsequently, the abdominal cavity was opened, the liver was removed, and stored at -80°C. Finally, the entire colon was harvested, its length was measured, photographed, and after being dissected along the mesenteric side, the colonic contents were washed with physiological saline and weighed. A portion of the lesion tissue was fixed in 10% formalin and subjected to HE staining for histopathological observation; the remaining colonic tissue was stored at -80°C.

[0984] Result: (1) As Figure 45a As shown, the effects on the general condition of DSS colitis mice: Four days after 3.0% DSS modeling, the model animals successively showed abnormalities such as loose stools, bloody stools, and weight loss, which gradually worsened thereafter; the model group mice also showed symptoms of reduced appetite, fatigue, emaciation, piloerection, and dull hair. 720mg / kg of the positive drug SASP and the test substance (Example 13B, Example 33, Example 34) both had certain ameliorative effects, but by the experimental endpoint, weight loss and abnormalities such as loose stools and bloody stools still occurred. (2) As Figure 45b As shown, the effects on colon weight and length in DSS colitis mice were as follows: After free access to 3.0% DSS solution, the colon of mice showed atrophy, which was manifested as shortening of colon length and reduction in weight; both the positive control drug and the test substance could inhibit colon atrophy in mice; the test substances (Examples 13B, 33, and 34) could increase the colon weight and length of DSS mice and inhibit colon atrophy in mice.

[0985] Experiment 22. TNBS rat enteritis model

[0986] Experimental and Analytical Methods: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate whether repeated oral gavage administration of the test substance (Examples 13B, 36, and 37, all at 80 mpk) had a therapeutic effect on 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced ulcerative colitis in rats. All rats except the normal control group were fasted for 24 hours (water was allowed). After anesthesia with isoflurane, 0.5 mL / rat of TNBS ethanol solution (18 mg TNBS / rat) was administered rectally via a latex tube. The tube was inserted approximately 8 cm into the rectum. After the tube was removed, the rats remained anesthetized and held in a tilted position for 15 minutes. The normal control group rats did not undergo rectal intubation stimulation. After the animals regained consciousness, they were randomly divided into groups, and drug administration began immediately (D1). The blank control group and the model group received the same amount of solvent via oral gavage once daily for 7 consecutive days (D1-D7). The animals' condition, fecal condition (presence of loose stools or bloody stools), and body weight were monitored daily. The day after the last administration (D8), the animals were deeply anesthetized with CO2, euthanized, and dissected. The entire colon was harvested, dissected along the mesenteric side, and the colonic contents were washed with physiological saline. The colon was weighed and its length was measured. The ulcer surface was measured using ImageJ software. The gross condition of the colon was observed and photographed. Tissue from the lesion site was fixed in formalin and subjected to HE staining for histopathological observation.

[0987] Result: (1) As Figure 46a As shown, the effects on the general condition of rats with TNBS-induced ulcerative colitis: rats had loose stools on the second day after TNBS modeling; the modeled rats also had symptoms of reduced appetite, fatigue, emaciation, piloerection, and dull hair. The stools of some rats improved in the later stages of drug administration, but some rats still had loose stools until the end of the experiment, and a few rats had obvious abdominal distension in the later stages of the experiment; (2) Figure 46b As shown, the effects on colon weight and length in rats with TNBS-induced colitis: Based on the combined results of colon weight per unit length (colon weight / colon length) and colon ulcer area in rats, it can be seen that the test substances (Examples 13B, 36, and 37) can all reduce colon weight per unit length and colon ulcer area in rats, with Example 13B showing a more significant effect.

[0988] Experiment 23. Decreased blood glucose in DB mice

[0989] Experimental and Analytical Methods: The leptin receptor gene (OB-R), also known as the diabetes gene (Diabetes Gene, db), is closely related to obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and lipid metabolism disorders. The course of this disease is greatly influenced by genetic background. Topical insulin cannot control the increase in blood glucose and hepatic gluconeogenesis. Leptin gene mutant mice were constructed using gene editing and embryo injection techniques. Blood glucose monitoring of homozygous mice revealed a significant difference in blood glucose levels compared to wild-type controls, making them suitable for type II diabetes research. These mice exhibited a blood glucose spike of 30 mmol / L starting at 8 weeks of age, while normal background mice had blood glucose levels of only around 6 mmol / L. We administered the drugs starting at 8 weeks of age, using small molecules from Examples 28, 29, and 30, all at 80 mpk, via gavage once daily. Twenty mice were used in each group, and blood glucose was monitored weekly from 8 weeks of age until sacrifice at 20 weeks of age.

[0990] Results: The results are as follows Figure 47 The results show that Examples 28 and 29 both have a certain blood sugar lowering effect, but Example 30 has the best blood sugar lowering effect, reaching the level of normal background mice.

[0991] Experiment 24. DIO mice showed a decrease in body weight and body fat percentage.

[0992] Experimental and Analytical Methods: The DIO model is a high-fat diet-induced obesity model. This experiment used mice of two strains, C57BL / 6J and C57BL / 6N, fed a high-fat diet containing 60% fat. Mice were switched to a high-fat diet at 7 weeks of age to establish the model. The high-fat diet was maintained for 5 months until the mice reached a weight of over 50g. Drug administration was then initiated, and weight was recorded weekly. Body fat percentage was measured every two weeks using an Echo MRI small animal body composition analyzer. We tested the weight-loss effects of five small molecules in Examples 33, 34, 35, 36, and 37, at a dose of 80mpk, administered by gavage every two days.

[0993] Result: As Figures 48a to 48d As shown, Examples 34 and 35 exhibited the best weight loss effects, reducing the weight of obese model mice from over 50g to approximately 35g, a level comparable to normal mice. Examples 33, 36, and 37 also showed weight loss effects, reducing weight to around 40g. Regarding body fat percentage, all the small molecules effectively burned fat and reduced body fat percentage in the mice; Examples 34 and 35 again demonstrated the best fat-burning effect, followed by Examples 33, 36, and 37.

[0994] Experiment 25. NOD-Scid immunodeficient mice were inoculated with Raji-Luc hematologic malignancies.

[0995] Experimental and Analytical Methods: The objective of this experiment was to test the in vivo killing effect of six small molecules on hematologic malignancies. Eighty 8-week-old female NOD-Scid immunodeficient mice were used as inoculation mice for Raji-Luc cells. In vivo fluorescence imaging was performed on day 9 post-inoculation. Based on fluorescence intensity, the 60 mice with the highest mid-range fluorescence intensity values ​​were selected for subsequent experiments. After the first in vivo imaging, drug administration began, with a dose of 100 mpk administered once daily by gavage. The small molecules tested were those from Examples 25A, 25B, 28, 38, 39, and 40, with 10 mice in each group. In vivo imaging was performed twice weekly after the start of drug administration to observe the development of hematologic malignancies in mice.

[0996] Result: As Figure 49 As shown, the control group exhibited very high fluorescence intensity, while the dosing groups showed a significant decrease in fluorescence intensity. Groups 28 and 38 were excessively toxic, with all cells dying within 21 days, resulting in no fluorescence values. Examples 25A, 25B, 39, and 40, however, demonstrated relatively good tumor-killing effects.

[0997] Experiment 26. Detection of cell proliferation using small molecule compounds

[0998] Experimental and analytical methods: Cells were seeded into capped 96-well cell culture plates. The highest concentration of the test compound was 10 μM, diluted 3-fold to a series of test concentrations. Cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 72 hours. The DMSO concentration was 0.5%. 100 μL of culture medium was removed from each well. 100 μL of reagent (Celltitute Glo assay kit) was added to each well, and the plate was shaken on a plate shaker (protected from light) for 2 minutes. The culture plates were incubated at room temperature (protected from light) for 30 minutes. Chemiluminescence values ​​were recorded using a multi-plate reader. The experimental results are as follows:

[1001] The table shows the cell proliferation analysis of U937 (histiocytic lymphoma cells), OCI-LY3 (human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells), U2932 (human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells), and HT cells (human mixed lymphoma cells). The table shows that the compounds of this invention have an inhibitory effect on lymphoma cell proliferation. Specifically, Example 2A showed the best inhibitory activity against U937 cells, while Example 13A showed the best inhibitory effect on the proliferation of OCI-LY3 and HT cells. "—" in the table indicates no data was available.

[1002] Experiment 27. PD mouse model

[1003] Experimental and Analytical Methods: C57BL / 6 mice were used in this experiment and divided into 5 groups: a normal control group (no MPTP injection), a model group (MPTP-treated), and treatment groups for the three small molecules (Examples 13B, 25A, and 25B). Drug administration began simultaneously with modeling. Modeling lasted for 5 days, followed by intraperitoneal injection of 30 MPTP for 15 days, and then 80 MPTP for 15 days. At the endpoint, after cardiac perfusion, the brain was harvested and fixed in PFA. After complete fixation, it was transferred to sucrose for dehydration, and after complete dehydration, it was embedded in OCT, sectioned, and stained with TH. The detection index was the number of TH-positive cells in the substantia nigra. The more positive cells, the better the protective effect of the small molecules against MPTP damage.

[1004] Results: Each group consisted of 12 mice, and the statistical results are as follows: Figure 50 As shown in the T-test, **: p < 0.01, #: p < 0.05. Compared with the model group, only the Example 13B group showed statistical difference among the three small molecules, indicating that Example 13B has a good protective effect on substantia nigra neurons.

[1005] Experiment 28. COVID-19 pseudovirus infection cell model

[1006] Experimental and analytical methods: First, HEK293T cells were used to culture SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviruses that possessed only infectious ability but not replication ability. After collecting the pseudoviruses from the supernatant, normal HEK293T cells with ACE2 receptors on their surface were used as the infection targets for pseudovirus infection. After infection, the mitochondria in HEK293T cells underwent fragmentation, which could be monitored by mitochondrial fluorescent staining (mitotracker red), indicating that the cells were damaged by the pseudovirus; this was the model group. In the experimental group, cells were incubated with 300 nM of Example 13B for 1 hour before pseudovirus infection to test the protective effect of the small molecule Example 13B against viral infection.

[1007] Results: The results are as follows Figure 51The results showed that, compared with the normal control group (without pseudovirus infection), the mitochondria in the model group cells were significantly fragmented, while the mitochondria in the experimental group cells were not fragmented, indicating that the small molecule Example 13B has a good protective effect against the infection of the novel coronavirus pseudovirus.

[1008] Experiment 29. Rat model of acute traumatic brain injury (TBI)

[1009] Experimental and Analytical Methods: Male SD rats were used to establish a traumatic brain injury (TBI) rat model. Rats were randomly divided into three groups: a solvent control group (8 rats), a test substance Example 13B (80 mpk, 10 rats), and a test substance Example 26 (80 mpk, 9 rats). Drug administration began immediately after TBI surgery, administered by gavage once daily for 7 consecutive days. The endpoint (day 7) was the collection of brain tissue to detect the percentage of apoptotic cells in the hippocampus and adjacent injury areas.

[1010] Result: As Figure 52 The flow cytometry results showed that the early apoptosis rate and total apoptosis rate in the brains of rats in the test substance Example 13B (80 mpk) and test substance Example 26 (80 mpk) groups were significantly lower than those in the solvent control group (P < 0.05). Under this experimental system, repeated intravenous administration of test substances Example 13B and Example 26 significantly improved neurological function damage and brain cell apoptosis in rats with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI), and promoted the recovery of motor ability and neurological function.

[1011] Experiment 30. In vitro killing effect on pancreatic cancer cells

[1012] Experimental and Analytical Methods: We used Mia paca-2 cells as our research subject. This cell line is a pancreatic cancer cell line and is widely used in drug sensitivity testing. We performed drug sensitivity tests on 11 small molecules, with the highest concentration being 10 μM. After 3-fold dilution, we obtained a concentration gradient of 7 points. Cell viability was detected using Celltiter Glo, and dose-response curves were plotted using Graphpad Prism.

[1013] Results: The drug sensitivity curve is as follows: Figure 53 As shown, a lower IC50 value indicates greater sensitivity to the small molecule. It can be observed that Miapaca-2 cells showed the highest sensitivity to Example 26A.

[1014] Experiment 31. Inhibition of excessive urination in DB animals

[1015] Experimental and Analytical Methods: The leptin receptor gene (OB-R), also known as the diabetes gene (Diabetes Gene, db), is closely related to obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and lipid metabolism disorders. The course of this disease is greatly influenced by genetic background. Topical insulin cannot control the increase in blood glucose and hepatic gluconeogenesis. Leptin gene mutant mice were constructed using gene editing and embryo injection techniques. Blood glucose monitoring of homozygous mice of this strain revealed a significant difference in blood glucose levels compared to wild-type controls, making it suitable for type II diabetes research. These mice exhibited enormous urine output, hundreds of times that of normal mice, thus mimicking patients with frequent urination. The experiment was divided into three groups: a model group (no medication, diseased mice with high urine output), a control group (no medication, normal mice without disease), and an experimental group (administered Example 1A, 80 mpk, by gavage every two days). The control group consisted of 2 mice, and the other two groups consisted of 3 mice each. The small molecule used was Example 1A. Starting from week 8, we continuously treated the mice with the medication for 5 weeks and then observed the urine output in each cage. The larger the urine-soaked area in the cage, the greater the urine output of the mice in that cage.

[1016] Result: As Figure 54 As shown in the cage photographs, the urine-soaked area in the cages of the three-cage model group mice was the largest, while the urine-soaked area in the cages of the control group mice was almost invisible. The urine-soaked area in the cages of the drug-treated group mice was significantly reduced compared to the model group mice. This indicates that Example 1A has the function of inhibiting urinary frequency.

[1017] Experiment 32. Cardiovascular inflammation relief in APOE mutant mice fed a high-fat diet.

[1018] Experimental and Analytical Methods: Six-week-old male APOE- / - mutant B6J mice and WT B6J mice were purchased and acclimatized in the housing for two weeks. At eight weeks of age, all groups except the Vehicle and WT groups were fed a high-fat diet (Research Diets, D12492). At nine weeks of age, the Control group was given a 10% cyclodextrin solution, while the other groups were administered different small molecule compounds orally every two days (Examples 13B, 33, 36, and 37). After 16 weeks of high-fat feeding, the APOE mice were sacrificed and the aortic arch was dissected. A fixed weight of 100 mg / mouse aortic vascular epithelial tissue was analyzed using MSD (Multifactorial Determination) to determine the expression levels of various inflammatory factors, including IL-10, IL-1β, and KC / GRO.

[1019] Result: As Figures 55a to 55cAs shown, all three types of inflammatory factors showed a decreasing trend under the intervention of small molecules, with the decrease in Example 13B being the most significant, indicating that the small molecules shown have an anti-cardiovascular inflammatory effect.

[1020] Experiment 33. Example 13B: Pharmacological experiment on the effect of subthreshold hypnotic doses of sodium pentobarbital on sleep in mice.

[1021] Experimental and Analytical Methods: The effect of a single oral gavage administration (Example 13B) on the sleep latency and duration of sleep induced by a subthreshold hypnotic dose of sodium pentobarbital in ICR mice was investigated to determine whether the test substance has a hypnotic effect, and a pharmacodynamic comparison was made with the positive control drug diazepam. After acclimatization, 50 qualified animals were selected according to their body weight for the experiment and randomly divided into 5 groups using an Excel randomization method: blank control group, positive control group (diazepam), and high, medium, and low dose groups of the test substance, with 10 animals in each group. Animals in each group were given the prescribed drug solution and solvent. One hour after administration, each group of animals was intraperitoneally injected with the maximum subthreshold dose of sodium pentobarbital (a preliminary experiment was conducted to determine the maximum subthreshold hypnotic dose of sodium pentobarbital). The sleep latency, the number of animals falling asleep within 30 minutes (those whose righting reflex disappeared for more than 1 minute), and the duration of sleep for each mouse were recorded.

[1022] Result: As Figure 56a and 56b As shown, 1 mg / kg diazepam significantly shortened the sleep latency in mice. Compared with the blank control group, small molecule compounds in Examples 13B, 39, and 40 all shortened the sleep latency in mice, showing a quantitative-response relationship, but without statistical significance. Furthermore, the effects of small molecule compounds in Examples 13B, 39, and 40 in shortening the sleep latency in mice were significantly weaker than those of 1 mg / kg diazepam. Compared with the blank control group, the positive control group, administered 1 mg / kg diazepam, significantly prolonged the sleep of mice. Compared with the blank control group, small molecule compounds in Examples 13B, 39, and 40 prolonged the sleep time in mice, but without statistical significance. Furthermore, the effects of small molecule compounds in Examples 13B, 39, and 40 in prolonging the sleep time in mice were significantly weaker than those of 1 mg / kg diazepam.

[1023] In this specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments thereof. However, it will be apparent that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, this specification should be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.
