Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicine, and specifically relates to quinoline compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, stable isotope derivatives, isomers, solvates or polymorphs thereof, and also relates to preparation methods, pharmaceutical compositions and medical uses of the above compounds. Background Art

[0002] New blood vessel formation is divided into angiogenesis and angiogenesis. The former refers to the process of angioblasts differentiating into blood cells and mature endothelial cells to form new blood vessels during embryonic development, and the latter refers to the process of existing capillaries sprouting to form new blood vessels. New blood vessel formation mainly occurs in physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, wound healing, ovarian corpus luteum formation, and tumors. In 1971, Judah Folkman first proposed that angiogenesis is an important process for the growth and proliferation of solid tumors. When the tumor diameter reaches about 0.2-2.0mm, it will be hypoxic. In the absence of angiogenesis, the tumor volume will be limited. Therefore, targeting tumor angiogenesis is an effective treatment for various cancers.

[0003] Angiogenesis is controlled and regulated by endogenous active factors and a variety of proteins. There are about 30 known endogenous pro-angiogenic factors and about 30 known endogenous anti-angiogenic factors. Among them, the endothelial vascular growth factor and its receptor (VEGF / VEGFR) family are the most studied pro-angiogenic regulatory factors, which have the function of inducing endothelial cell differentiation and angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) belongs to the homodimeric glycoprotein family and is essential for angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and pathological angiogenesis during embryonic development. VEGF is involved in regulating the occurrence and development of many diseases, such as tumor growth and metastasis, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, rheumatoid arthritis, myocardial ischemia, preeclampsia, etc. Studies have found that there are five main receptors that VEGF ligands bind to: VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, neuropilin-1 (NP-1) and neuropilin-2 (NP-2). Among them, three vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3) belong to receptor tyrosine kinases, which are mainly expressed in vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells and highly expressed in most tumor cells. After VEGF binds to VEGFR, it activates the tyrosine kinase in the intracellular domain of VEGFR and phosphorylates intracellular tyrosine residues, thereby activating the intracellular signal transduction pathway and playing a regulatory role. Therefore, inhibiting VEGFR activity and blocking its signal transduction can effectively inhibit angiogenesis inside the tumor, thereby achieving the effect of inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis and controlling tumor growth. As an important anti-tumor target, the FDA has approved 12 VEGFR small molecule inhibitors, and the NMPA has approved 3 VEGFR small molecule inhibitors independently developed in China.

[0004] VEGFR inhibitors are not effective in treating tumors due to the development of drug resistance. For example, patients with renal cell carcinoma often develop primary or acquired drug resistance within one year of treatment. Secondly, the VEGFR inhibitors on the market still have certain adverse reactions. Therefore, it is still necessary to develop the next generation of drugs to overcome drug resistance and reduce adverse reactions. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new type of small molecule compound that acts on VEGFR, which can block the VEGF / VEGFR pathway and can prevent or treat diseases related to the VEGF / VEGFR pathway, such as having a potent angiogenesis inhibitory effect and anti-tumor activity, and has an improving, preventing and treating effect on various other diseases accompanied by abnormal proliferation of new blood vessel formation.

[0006] The present inventors have found through research that the compound having the following general formula (I) can act on the VEGF / VEGFR pathway, significantly inhibit the activity of protein kinases such as VEGF, and has a significant anti-tumor effect.
