Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of aromatic amino acid compounds and preparation method, pharmaceutical composition and application, especially to a kind of aromatic amino acid compounds and preparation method, pharmaceutical composition and application of selective inhibitor drug of butyrylcholine esterase. BACKGROUND

[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive fatal neurodegenerative disease. The clinical manifestations are regressive loss of memory and cognitive function, decline of daily life ability and accompanied by various neuropsychiatric symptoms. Therefore, finding drugs and treatment strategies effective for AD has become a key problem to be solved in the medical field of the whole world.

[0003] The pathogenesis of AD is extremely complex. Although scientists have not yet reached a conclusion on the exact cause of AD, a large number of previous studies have shown that AD is mainly induced by the combined action of genetic factors, aging and external environmental factors. Several hypotheses have been proposed, including cholinergic dysfunction, amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) plaque, neurofibrillary tangle and oxidative stress.

[0004] Acetylcholinesterase (ACh) is a cholinergic transmission medium, widely distributed in peripheral and central nervous system. At the neuron level, cholinergic neurotransmission is mainly regulated by two cholinesterases: acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. In healthy adults, AChE plays a major regulatory role in choline activity, and BuChE plays an auxiliary regulatory role. However, the auxiliary regulatory function of BChE changes with the development of AD, and the BuChE / AChE of patients with late AD increases significantly. BChE replaces AChE to hydrolyze choline. Currently, AChE inhibitors are widely used to restore ACh levels, but patients taking AChE inhibitors may experience side effects such as nausea and vomiting. These adverse outcomes are mainly due to the inhibition of peripheral AChE.

[0005] Currently, there are few high-selective butyrylcholinesterase structural types, and only one is in clinical research. The compound is bisnorcymserine, which is a carbamate structure and a covalent inhibitor of BChE. Currently, there is no reversible BChE inhibitor in clinical trials. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims to provide a kind of aromatic amino acid compounds and preparation method, pharmaceutical composition and application of selective inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase activity, to solve the problems of poor efficacy, obvious adverse reactions and other deficiencies of existing AChE inhibitor drugs in AD, and the single skeleton type and poor selectivity of existing BChE inhibitor drugs.

[0242] (4) Preparation of AChE, BuChE solution: 5000 units of AChE was dissolved in 1 mL of 1% gel solution, and then diluted with water to 100 mL to prepare AChE solution with a concentration of 5 units / mL, which was stored at -20 °C for later use. 5000 units of BuChE was dissolved in 1 mL of 1% gel solution, and then diluted with water to 100 mL to prepare BuChE solution with a concentration of 5 units / mL, which was stored at -30 °C for later use.

[0243] (5) Preparation of test compound solution: The test compound was dissolved in ethanol to prepare a solution with a concentration of 10 -3 M (ethanol did not affect the test results), and then diluted with water to prepare solutions with concentrations of 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 , 10 -8 , 10 -9 M, respectively.

[0244] Before the experiment, all the solutions were warmed to room temperature, and the AChE and BuChE solutions were diluted with water to prepare enzyme solutions with a concentration of 2.5 units / mL. The background ultraviolet absorption was measured using blank buffer (3 mL). 100 μL of test compound solution, 100 μL of DTNB solution, and 100 μL of enzyme solution were added to 3 mL of buffer, and 20 μL of ATC or BTC solution was added to trigger the reaction. The reaction was timed immediately after the addition of ATC or BTC solution, and the test solution was mixed rapidly at the same time. The ultraviolet absorption was measured at 412 nM after 2 min. The blank control group was measured using the same volume of water instead of the test compound solution. All tests were performed in triplicate. The ultraviolet absorption value of the blank control group was taken as 100%, and the absorbance (OD value) of the test compound at each concentration was recorded. The obtained results were calculated using GraphPad Prism™ (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA) software to obtain the corresponding IC 50 values using a non-linear regression analysis model, as shown in Table 1.

Under the same conditions, 20 μM of compounds 18(R) and 22(R) increased cell viability to 73.4% (p<0.001) and 63.0% (p<0.01), respectively. Therefore, the results indicate that compounds 18(R) and 22(R) have a significant effect on Aβ... 1-42 Induced SH-SY5Y cell damage exhibited good neuroprotective effects.

[0279] Example 25: Water Maze Experiment

[0280] Drugs and reagents: Compound 18, Aβ from Beyotime International Co., Ltd. (Shanghai), and tacrine (purity > 95%).

[0281] Instrument: Panlab SMART 3.0 behavioral video analyzer.

[0282] Animals: Adult male ICR mice (8-10 weeks old, weighing 18-22 grams) were purchased from Yangzhou University Medical Center.

[0283] Experimental methods: Forty mice were randomly divided into five subgroups (n=8 per group): (i) blank control group, (ii) sham operation group, (iii) intracranial injection of Aβ as model group, (iv) donepezil plus Aβ as positive control and (v) compound 18 (10 mg / kg) plus Aβ as experimental group.

[0284] A circular pool (diameter 120 cm, height 60 cm) with a platform (diameter 10 cm) for escape was fixed and filled with 40 cm deep fresh water (maintained at 25 °C) to constitute a water maze. It was placed in a bright room. After 5 days of training and memory, a probe test was performed on the 6thday. To assess cognitive function, each mouse was individually trained on a visible platform (marked with a flag, 5 cm high) for 2 days, and then trained in the water maze with a hidden platform (placed 1 cm below the water surface) from the 3rdto 5thday. All mice were trained twice a day, with each trial lasting 90 seconds. The time for each mouse to find the platform (successful escape) was recorded. If the mouse failed to reach the platform within 90 seconds, the test was terminated and the mouse was carefully placed on the platform by hand. Regardless of success or failure, each mouse was kept on the platform for 30 seconds. On the last day (6thday), the platform was removed from the pool and the mice were tested, allowing each mouse 90 seconds to search for the platform. The time and trajectory of the mice to reach the location of the missing platform were recorded. The results of the experiment are shown in Figures 3-5 .

[0285] Results analysis: As shown in Figure 3 , after the first day of intracerebral microinjection of Aβ, although the model group showed a tendency of weight loss on the third day, the weight gain tended to be stable afterwards, indicating that the surgery did not cause significant physical function damage to the mice. The weight gain of the 18(R) administration group was comparable or even slightly higher than that of the control group, indicating the safety of the administration. As shown in Figure 4 , there was no significant difference in the target escape latency (ELT) between the control group and the sham operation group, indicating that the surgery did not affect the passive avoidance impairment of the mice. The results of the Morris water maze test showed that the ELT of the model group was significantly prolonged Figure 4 (P<0.0001,####) compared with the sham operation animal group, indicating that the learning and memory were impaired and the modeling was successful. The treatment groups of 18(R) and donepezil showed a significant decrease in ELT Figure 4 (P<0.0001 and P<0.01, respectively). The results also showed that 18(R) had a better effect on improving the memory and cognitive function of mice than donepezil at the tested dose, which could be attributed to the multifunctional anti-AD activity. Figure 5 The representative trajectory graphs of the mice in each group showed that the trajectories of the mice in the model group were significantly longer and more chaotic than those in the blank group.
