[0070] Definitions and Explanations

[0071] Unless otherwise stated, the following terms and phrases as used herein are intended to have the following meanings. A particular term or phrase should not be considered uncertain or unclear unless specifically defined, but should be understood in its ordinary sense. When a trade name appears herein, it is intended to refer to the corresponding product or its active ingredient.

[0072] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” as used herein refers to compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms that, within the bounds of reliable medical judgment, are suitable for use in contact with human and animal tissues without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, or other problems or complications, in proportion to a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0073] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt of the compounds of this invention, prepared by reacting a compound having specific substituents discovered in this invention with a relatively non-toxic acid or base. When the compounds of this invention contain relatively acidic functional groups, a base addition salt can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of base in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amine, or magnesium salts or similar salts. When the compounds of this invention contain relatively basic functional groups, an acid addition salt can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of acid in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. Certain specific compounds of this invention contain both basic and acidic functional groups, and thus can be converted into either a base or an acid addition salt.

[0074] The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from parent compounds containing acid radicals or bases by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts are prepared by reacting these compounds in free acid or base form with a stoichiometric amount of a suitable base or acid in water or an organic solvent or a mixture thereof.

[0075] Unless otherwise stated, the term "isomer" is intended to include geometric isomers, cis-trans isomers, stereo isomers, enantiomers, optical isomers, diastereomers and tautomers.

[0076] The compounds of this invention can exist in specific geometric or stereoisomeric forms. This invention contemplates all such compounds, including cis and trans isomers, (-)- and (+)- enantiomers, (R)- and (S)- enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)- isomers, (L)- isomers, and racemic mixtures thereof, as well as other mixtures, such as mixtures enriched with enantiomers or diastereomers, all of which are within the scope of this invention. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in substituents such as alkyl groups. All such isomers and mixtures thereof are included within the scope of this invention.

[0077] Unless otherwise stated, the terms "enantiomer" or "optical isomer" refer to stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other.

[0078] Unless otherwise stated, the terms "cis-trans isomers" or "geometric isomers" arise because the single bonds of double bonds or cyclic carbon atoms cannot rotate freely.

[0079] Unless otherwise stated, the term "diastereomer" refers to a stereoisomer of a molecule having two or more chiral centers and being in a non-mirror relationship with each other.

[0080] Unless otherwise stated, "(+)" indicates right-handed rotation, "(-)" indicates left-handed rotation, and "(±)" indicates racemic rotation.

[0081] Unless otherwise specified, use wedge-shaped solid line keys. and wedge-shaped dashed key The absolute configuration of the center of a solid is represented by a straight solid line key. and straight dashed key The relative configuration of the center of a solid is indicated by a wavy line. Indicates wedge-shaped solid line key or wedge-shaped dashed key Or use wavy lines Indicates a straight solid line key Or straight dashed key

[0082] Unless otherwise specified, when a group has one or more connectable sites, any one or more of these sites can be connected to other groups by chemical bonds. The chemical bonds connecting these sites to other groups can be straight solid lines. Straight dashed key or wavy line For example, a straight solid line bond in -OCH3 indicates that the oxygen atom in that group is connected to other groups; The straight dashed bond in the diagram indicates that the group is connected to other groups through both ends of the nitrogen atom in the group; The wavy lines in the diagram indicate that the carbon atoms at positions 1 and 2 of the phenyl group are linked to other groups.

[0083] Unless otherwise stated, the terms "rich in one isomer," "isomer enrichment," "rich in one enantiomer," or "enantiomer enrichment" mean that the content of one isomer or enantiomer is less than 100%, and the content of the isomer or enantiomer is greater than or equal to 60%, or greater than or equal to 70%, or greater than or equal to 80%, or greater than or equal to 90%, or greater than or equal to 95%, or greater than or equal to 96%, or greater than or equal to 97%, or greater than or equal to 98%, or greater than or equal to 99%, or greater than or equal to 99.5%, or greater than or equal to 99.6%, or greater than or equal to 99.7%, or greater than or equal to 99.8%, or greater than or equal to 99.9%.

[0084] Unless otherwise stated, the terms "isomer excess" or "enantiomer excess" refer to the difference between the relative percentages of two isomers or two enantiomers. For example, if one isomer or enantiomer is 90% and the other isomer or enantiomer is 10%, then the isomer or enantiomer excess (ee value) is 80%.

[0085] Optically active (R)- and (S)- isomers, as well as D- and L- isomers, can be prepared by chiral synthesis, chiral reagents, or other conventional techniques. To obtain an enantiomer of a compound of the present invention, it can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization with a chiral auxiliary, wherein the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated, and the auxiliary group is cleaved to provide the desired enantiomer in pure form. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as an amino group) or an acidic functional group (such as a carboxyl group), a salt of the diastereomeric isomer is formed with a suitable optically active acid or base, followed by diastereomeric resolution using conventional methods known in the art, and then the pure enantiomer is recovered. Furthermore, the separation of enantiomers and diastereomeric isomers is typically accomplished by using chromatography employing a chiral stationary phase, optionally combined with chemical derivatization (e.g., from amines to carbamates).

[0086] The compounds of this invention may contain atomic isotopes in non-natural proportions on one or more atoms constituting the compound. For example, the compounds may be labeled with radioactive isotopes, such as tritium. 3 H), Iodine-125 125 I) or C-14 14 C). For example, deuterium can be used to replace hydrogen to form deuterated drugs. The bond between deuterium and carbon is stronger than that between ordinary hydrogen and carbon. Compared with undeuterated drugs, deuterated drugs have advantages such as reduced toxicity, increased drug stability, enhanced efficacy, and prolonged drug biological half-life. All isotopic variations of the compounds of this invention, regardless of radioactivity, are included within the scope of this invention.

[0087] The terms “optional” or “optionally” refer to events or conditions that may occur but are not required to occur as described below, and the description includes both cases where said events or conditions occur and cases where said events or conditions do not occur.

[0088] The term "substituted" means that any one or more hydrogen atoms on a particular atom are replaced by a substituent, which can include deuterium and hydrogen variants, provided that the valence state of the particular atom is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is oxygen (i.e., =O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are replaced. Oxygen substitution does not occur on aromatic groups. The term "optionally substituted" means that it may or may not be substituted, unless otherwise specified, and the type and number of substituents can be arbitrary on a chemically feasible basis.

[0089] "Pharmaceutical composition" means a mixture containing one or more of the compounds described herein or their physiologically / pharmacologically acceptable salts or prodrugs, along with other chemical components, such as physiologically / pharmacologically acceptable carriers and excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration to a living organism, thereby promoting the absorption of the active ingredient and the exertion of its biological activity.

[0090] The term "therapeutic effective amount" means the amount of the compound of the present invention used to treat or prevent a particular disease, condition, or disorder; (ii) to reduce, improve, or eliminate one or more symptoms of a particular disease, condition, or disorder; or (iii) to prevent or delay the onset of one or more symptoms of a particular disease, condition, or disorder described herein. The amount of the compound of the present invention constituting a "therapeutic effective amount" varies depending on the compound, the disease state and its severity, the route of administration, and the age of the mammal to be treated, but may routinely be determined by those skilled in the art based on their own knowledge and the content of this disclosure.

[0091] When any variable (e.g., R) appears more than once in the composition or structure of a compound, its definition is independent in each case. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted by 0-2 Rs, the group can optionally be substituted by at most two Rs, and the Rs in each case have independent options. Furthermore, combinations of substituents and / or their variants are only permitted if such combinations produce a stable compound.

[0092] When the number of a linking group is 0, such as -(CRR)0-, it indicates that the linking group is a single bond.

[0093] When the number of a substituent is 0, it means that the substituent does not exist. For example, -A-(R)0 means that the structure is actually -A.

[0094] When a substituent is vacant, it means that the substituent does not exist. For example, if X is vacant in AX, it means that the structure is actually A.

[0095] When one of the variables is selected as a single bond, it means that the two groups it connects to are directly connected. For example, when L in ALZ represents a single bond, it means that the structure is actually AZ.

[0096] When a substituent can be cross-bonded to two or more atoms on a ring, this substituent can bond with any atom on that ring, for example, structural units. This indicates that the substituent R can be substituted at any position on the cyclohexyl or cyclohexadiene. When the listed substituents do not specify which atom they are attached to the substituted group, such substituents can be bonded to any of their atoms. For example, a pyridyl group as a substituent can be attached to the substituted group through any carbon atom on the pyridine ring.

[0097] When the listed linking groups do not specify their linking direction, the linking direction is arbitrary, for example, The linker group L is -MW-. In this case, -MW- can connect ring A and ring A in the same direction as the reading order from left to right to form a ring. Alternatively, rings A and A' can be connected in the opposite direction to the left-to-right reading order to form a ring. The combination of linking groups, substituents, and / or their variants is permitted only if such a combination produces a stable compound.

[0098] Unless otherwise specified, when a group has one or more connectable sites, any one or more sites of that group can be connected to other groups by chemical bonds. When the chemical bond connection is non-directional and the connectable site contains H atoms, the number of H atoms at that site will decrease accordingly with the number of chemical bonds connected, resulting in a group with a corresponding valence. The chemical bonds connecting the site to other groups can be straight solid line bonds. Straight dashed key or wavy line For example, a straight solid line bond in -OCH3 indicates that the oxygen atom in that group is connected to other groups; The straight dashed bond in the diagram indicates that the group is connected to other groups through both ends of the nitrogen atom in the group; The wavy lines in the diagram indicate that the phenyl group is connected to other groups through the carbon atoms at positions 1 and 2.
