Description

[0001] This application claims priority to the earlier application filed on May 7, 2022, with the China National Intellectual Property Administration, patent application number 202210489648.4, entitled "Stilbene Derivatives as AhR Agonists and Their Uses Thereof," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the pharmaceutical field, and more specifically to stilbene derivatives as AhR agonists and their uses. Background Technology

[0003] The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) belongs to the b-HLH-PAS (period-aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-single-minded, Pre-Arnt-Sim) subfamily within the basic helix-loop-helix (b-HLH) superfamily. It is distributed in various tissues and cells throughout the body, with the highest expression levels in the spleen, stomach, ovary, and placenta. It is also highly expressed in immune cells, particularly in certain CD4+ cells. + T cell subsets, such as some hematopoietic stem cells, bone marrow-derived dendritic cells, and CD4+, etc. + It is most highly expressed in Th17 cells, while it is less expressed in B cells and CD4 cells. + Treg cells express the lowest levels of IL-17. Overactivation of Th17 cells and increased IL-17 secretion are associated with various chronic inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and asthma. Treg cells play a crucial role in suppressing autoimmune diseases, transplantation, and graft-versus-host disease. Studies have demonstrated that the balance between Th17 and Treg cells is vital for host immunity and tolerance. For example, research has shown a close relationship between the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) and an imbalance of Th17 / Treg cells.

[0004] Further research into AhR has revealed that the imbalance in Th17 / Treg differentiation may be related to AhR in the body. AhR is a cytoplasmic transcription factor involved in regulating drug metabolism, cell growth and differentiation, and is closely related to the occurrence of immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases. Activated AhR can regulate the differentiation of Th17 and Treg cells in vivo. Numerous experiments have demonstrated that AhR is associated with the occurrence of immune-mediated diseases, such as asthma, smoking-related inflammatory lung diseases, atopic dermatitis, chronic kidney disease, Sjögren's syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease.

[0005] Common AhR agonists include ITE, TCDD, and FICZ. TCDD, the earliest discovered AhR agonist, can regulate T cell differentiation balance; however, its environmental and in vivo toxicity limits its clinical application. Benvitimod, the first marketed aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist, is a next-generation anti-inflammatory drug used to treat various major autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis, eczema, purulent colitis, and various allergic diseases. As the first marketed AhR agonist, benvitimod's activity still needs improvement, and it is easily oxidized under light, making it difficult to store. Clinical application requires novel, improved compounds and compositions with better efficacy, higher bioavailability, and greater stability. Summary of the Invention

[0423] 6. Drug permeability test

[0424] Test Procedure

[0425] Test drugs: 1.2% (w / w) Compound 2# cream; 1.2% (w / w) Compound 6# cream; 1.0% (w / w) Benzenemod cream;

[0426]

[0427] (1) Preparation of semipermeable membrane: Take the prepared semipermeable membrane out of the refrigerator;

[0428] (2) Preparation of receiving solution: Measure 100 mL of polyethylene glycol 400 solution, add physiological saline to make up to 250 mL, mix well, store at 4℃, and preheat to 32℃ before each addition to the receiving cell.

[0429] (3) In vitro diffusion test: Using a transdermal drug diffusion apparatus, the prepared semipermeable membrane was fixed between the supply and receiving pools and circulated in a constant temperature water bath at 32℃. After equilibration for 30 minutes, the receiving solution was replaced to remove the air in the lower layer. Approximately 0.5g of cream was evenly added to the supply pool and spread evenly. The magnetic stirring speed was 600r / min. 1mL of sample solution was taken from the receiving pool at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours, and an equal amount of isothermal fresh receiving solution was added at the same time.

[0430] The actual sampling times were 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours, with 1 mL samples directly placed into the liquid chromatography vial. An equal volume of fresh, isothermal receiving solution was added simultaneously. Drug permeation rate was calculated using liquid chromatography.

[0431] Cream - Diffusion Test - Rabbit Skin

[0432] Test Procedure

[0433] (1) Preparation of isolated rabbit skin

[0434] (2) Preparation of receiving solution: Measure 100 mL of polyethylene glycol 400 solution, add physiological saline to make up to 250 mL, mix well, store at 4℃, and preheat to 32℃ before each addition to the receiving pool.

[0435] (3) In vitro transdermal test: Using a transdermal drug diffusion tester, the treated rabbit skin was fixed between the supply and receiving pools, with the stratum corneum facing the supply pool. The skin was circulated in a constant temperature 32℃ water bath for 30 minutes to equilibrate. The receiving solution was then replaced, and the air under the skin was expelled. The surface liquid was blotted dry with filter paper. 0.5g of cream was added evenly to the supply pool and spread evenly. The mixture was magnetically stirred at 600r / min. At 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, and 24 hours, 1mL of sample solution was taken from the receiving pool and placed in a liquid chromatography vial. Simultaneously, an equal volume of fresh, isothermal receiving solution was added. The drug permeation rate was calculated using liquid chromatography.

[0436] The results of the 24-hour drug permeability test are as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

[0437] like Figure 6 As shown, in both experimental systems, the 24-hour drug permeation rates of the three creams showed a consistent trend: the marketed control drug benzenemod > 2# > 6#. The results indicate that the creams prepared from compounds 2# and 6# of this invention have lower transdermal absorption, lower blood exposure, and milder systemic adverse reactions compared to the marketed control drug benzenemod.
