Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and more particularly to compounds for resisting type 2 diabetes and uses thereof. Background Art

[0002] There are currently a large number of diabetes treatments on the market, but even the most commonly used first-line drug, metformin, has a variety of side effects ranging from mild to severe, leading to poor patient compliance. This indicates that monotherapy with diabetes drugs cannot provide satisfactory blood sugar level management and treatment of other comorbidities. Therefore, the treatment of diabetes is often achieved through combination therapy with drugs with different mechanisms of action. However, this strategy may be affected by the problems associated with polytherapy, such as some side effects, toxicity, and unnecessary drug-drug interactions. Therefore, there is still a strong demand for new drugs with better therapeutic effects and reduced adverse reactions.

[0003] Traditionally, drug design has aimed to selectively target a single receptor. However, this approach is now considered outdated, and over the past few years, most drug design efforts have focused on developing compounds that can exert multiple physiological effects, particularly for diseases with complex etiologies such as cancer, inflammation, central nervous system disorders, and diabetes. A strategy that can be considered to address these needs is to select single molecules that regulate different targets, which may have the potential to improve efficacy and balance safety compared to single-target agents. The design of such multi-target ligands must focus on selecting appropriate targets.

[0004] Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a naturally occurring glucose-lowering peptide and a substrate for dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4). Therefore, inhibiting DPP4 can effectively increase GLP-1 concentrations, thereby lowering blood glucose. DPP4 degrades GLP-1 by acting on the alanine-8 recognition site of GLP-1(7-37) and GLP-1(7-36)NH2. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors (DPP4Is) act on DPP4 and are compounds optimized by mimicking the structure of peptide substrates. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that GLP-1 and DPP4I may have similar effects. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) directly affect the incretin system by mimicking the effects of endogenous GLP-1, while DPP4i increase active incretin levels by preventing DPP4 from degrading endogenous incretins. Although the market prospects for incretin-targeted treatments for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) appear promising, certain limitations, such as the repeated injections required for GLP-1R peptide agonists and the various side effects of DPP4i treatment, may prevent drugs targeting incretin effects from fully realizing their therapeutic potential. This has prompted efforts to identify functional molecules. Developing new drugs with novel mechanisms of action to treat T2DM has become both a key and difficult task in current clinical research. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the significant side effects of existing diabetes medications, the present invention has designed an oral GLP-1R agonist to reduce these side effects. This oral GLP-1R agonist can simultaneously inhibit DPP4, thereby improving patient compliance, increasing medication convenience, and reducing drug side effects. The compound is a small molecule with dual efficacy as a GLP-1R agonist and a DPP4 inhibitor. Another object of the present invention is to provide the use of a compound of formula A in the preparation of a diabetes medication.

The temperature is raised to 35°C, activated for 5h, and then 1.32mmol 2-bromoethylamine hydrobromide and 2.42mmol triethylamine are added to react overnight. After the reaction is completed, the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain a yellow oil. 5mL of water is added to dissolve the water-soluble impurities, and 10mL of ethyl acetate is added for extraction. The organic layer is taken and washed with 10mL of saturated sodium bicarbonate, 10mL of dilute hydrochloric acid, and then washed twice with 10mL of saturated sodium chloride. The mixture is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate for 2h and concentrated under reduced pressure. A poor solvent is added to promote precipitation to obtain a crude product of compound 1.

[0041] In the preparation method of small molecule compound 3, step 2 specifically involves the following: 1.51 mmol (2,4-difluorophenyl)piperazine, 1.36 mmol 8-bromo-7-(2-butynyl)-3-methylxanthine, 3.02 mmol anhydrous potassium carbonate, and 0.15 mmol potassium iodide are added sequentially to 10 mL N,N-dimethylformamide at room temperature and reacted at 80°C for 12 hours.

Then, 2.0 mmol of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 0.2 mmol of potassium iodide are added and the reaction is carried out at 80°C for 6 hours. A spot plate is used to monitor the reaction progress during the reaction. After thin-layer chromatography (TCL) confirms the completion of the reaction, the mixture is filtered and the filtrate is cooled to approximately 18°C. Stirred on a magnetic stirrer for 2 hours, a yellow solid precipitates. This solid is filtered again, dried under vacuum, and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to obtain compound 3 as a pale yellow powder.

Then, 2.0 mmol of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 0.2 mmol of potassium iodide are added and the reaction is carried out at 80°C for 6 h. A spot plate is used to monitor the reaction progress during the reaction. Upon completion of the reaction by TLC, the reaction is filtered, and the filtrate is cooled to approximately 18°C and stirred on a magnetic stirrer for 2 h.

[0047] In some embodiments, GLP-1R and DPP4 are targeted to design dual-action small molecules that may be effective as GLP-1R agonists and DPP4 inhibitors.
