Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to a scutellarein compound, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a global human health problem. With the extension of human lifespan, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease is also increasing continuously. It is estimated that by 2050, the number of global Alzheimer's disease patients will reach 152 million. AD is a slowly progressive and ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disease, bringing huge economic and emotional pressures to patients and their families. Unfortunately, current drug-based treatments can only moderately improve learning and memory, and there is no effective treatment method to reduce or stop the progression of AD. Therefore, developing new therapies for AD has become a major challenge in modern medicine. Although the pathogenesis of AD is not fully understood, it is closely related to the pathological development of AD, including abnormal accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ), tau protein, reactive oxygen species (ROS), metal ions, and neuroinflammation, etc.
[0003] Aβ is produced by proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP). β-site APP cleavage enzyme (BACE) cleaves the N-terminus of the protein, and then γ-secretase cleaves the carboxyl-terminal fragment (CTFβ) of the protein to form Aβ peptide. The amyloid hypothesis holds that during the development of AD, Aβ-peptide sequentially transforms from an α-helical structure into a β-sheet structure, monomer, oligomer, and finally forms fibrils in the process of AD development. The accumulation of Aβ aggregates accelerates the progression of AD by stimulating a series of neurotoxic pathways such as apoptosis, inflammation, synaptic and neuronal damage. As the main pathological marker of AD, inhibiting Aβ deposition is considered a potential treatment strategy for AD.
[0004] Due to the high demand for oxygen in the brain and the lack of antioxidant defense system, the brain is very vulnerable to oxidative stress (OS). A large amount of evidence shows that excessive generation of ROS leads to OS, and OS plays a key role in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of AD. OS in the early stage of AD may be necessary to initiate other pathological mechanisms of AD, such as Aβ- and tau-induced neurotoxicity. Therefore, scavenging or preventing the formation of ROS may help to stop the progression of AD. As a neuroinflammatory disease, neuroinflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AD.
[0005] In November 2019, GV-971 (sodium oligomannate), an original anti-AD new drug jointly developed by the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai Green Valley Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in China, was approved for marketing. GV-971 (mannooligosaccharic acid) treats AD by reshaping the balance of the gut microbiota, inhibiting the abnormal increase of specific metabolites of the gut microbiota, and reducing peripheral and central inflammation. Another example is aducanumab (trade name Aduhelm), an Alzheimer's new drug developed by Biogen and approved by the FDA in 2021. Clinical studies have shown that it can selectively bind to β-amyloid protein, thereby clearing the β-amyloid protein accumulation in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. It can be seen from the recently approved drugs that drugs targeting anti-inflammation and inhibiting Aβ deposition have great potential.
[0006] On the other hand, in view of the complex pathogenesis and pathological manifestations of AD, multi-target-directed ligands (MTDLs) combine two or more related pharmacophore fragments and act on multiple pathogenic pathways of AD simultaneously, showing better efficacy than single-target drugs, which may open up a new treatment approach for the treatment of AD.
[0007] Traditional Chinese medicine in China has a certain function in the prevention and treatment of AD. As early as 1436, the medicinal plant Erigeron breviscapus, which is used to treat cerebral palsy folk, was included in the book Compendium of Materia Medica of Yunnan. Erigeron breviscapus, also known as Erigeron breviscapus var. scaberulus, is a plant of the genus Erigeron in the Compositae family. It is used as medicine with its roots or whole herbs. It is mainly distributed in the southwestern region of our province and has the effects of dispelling wind and cold, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals to relieve pain, etc. Scutellarin, also known as scutellarin (Scu), is the most important active ingredient of the traditional Chinese medicine Erigeron breviscapus, accounting for more than 90% of the content of scutellarin. Its chemical name is 4,5,6-trihydroxyflavone-7-glucuronide (the structural formula is shown in formula (a)).
[0008] It has been confirmed in the prior art that scutellarin has a variety of pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and myocardial protection. Studies have found that scutellarin can relieve the 25-35 damage to the learning and memory ability of AD rats induced by Aβ, significantly reduce the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), monoamine oxidase (MAO), IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the brain tissue of AD rats, and can inhibit the apoptosis of neurons, showing the effect of improving cognition. Scutellarin acts on Aβ 42Combination can effectively inhibit oligomerization and fiber formation, reduce the cytotoxicity of Aβ oligomers on SH-SY5Y cells, and has a beneficial effect on intervening in the development or progression of AD-like neuropathology. However, scutellarin has poor pharmacokinetic properties. Its solubility in water is only 0.16 mg / mL, it is rapidly eliminated in vivo, and its biological half-life is only (2.27 ± 0.58) min. The poor solubility and low bioavailability of scutellarin greatly limit its clinical application. The in vivo metabolism study of scutellarin found that scutellarin is hydrolyzed to scutellarein in the intestine. Its oral bioavailability is 3 times that of scutellarin and it has better biological activity compared with scutellarin.
[0009]
[0010] In this study, a series of compounds were designed and synthesized by modifying scutellarein, with the expectation of designing drug molecules with multi-target anti-AD effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and inhibition of Aβ deposition. Summary of the Invention

If tautomerization is possible (such as in solution), a chemical equilibrium of tautomers can be achieved. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions carried out through proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers include interconversions carried out through the reorganization of some bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the interconversion between pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerization is phenol-ketone tautomerization. A specific example of phenol-ketone tautomerization is the interconversion between pyridin-4-ol and pyridin-4(1H)-one tautomers. Unless otherwise indicated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.
[0073] "Nitrogen oxides" in the present invention refer to when a compound contains several amine functional groups, one or more nitrogen atoms can be oxidized to form N-oxides. Specific examples of N-oxides are N-oxides of tertiary amines or N-oxides of nitrogen atoms in nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The corresponding amine can be treated with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or a peracid (such as peroxycarboxylic acid) to form N-oxides (see Advanced Organic Chemistry, Wiley Interscience, 4th edition, Jerry March, pages). In particular, N-oxides can be prepared by the method of L.W. Deady (Syn. Comm. 1977, 7, 509-514), where, for example, in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane, the amine compound is reacted with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA).
[0074] "Prodrug" represents a compound that is converted in vivo into the compound represented by formula (I). Such conversion is affected by the hydrolysis of the prodrug in the blood or enzymatic conversion in the blood or tissues into the parent structure. The prodrug compounds of the present invention can be esters. In existing inventions, esters that can serve as prodrugs include phenyl esters, aliphatic (C 1-24 ) esters, acyloxymethyl esters, carbonates, carbamates, and amino acid esters. For example, a compound in the present invention contains a hydroxyl group, and it can be acylated to obtain a compound in the prodrug form. Other prodrug forms include phosphate esters, such as these phosphate ester compounds are obtained by phosphorylating the hydroxyl groups on the parent body. A complete discussion of prodrugs can be found in the following references: T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, J. Rautio et al., Prodrugs: Design and Clinical Applications, Nature Review Drug Discovery, 2008, 7, 255-270, and S.J.

[0184] Experimental Example 1: Determination of Aβ by ThT binding assay 1-42 Aggregation inhibition assay
[0185] Experimental principle: Thioflavin T (ThT) is a benzothiazole dye and is the most commonly used dye for detecting amyloid aggregation. ThT can specifically recognize the fibrillar structure generated during the aggregation of Aβ and bind to it, showing enhanced fluorescence. The fluorescence intensity is related to the aggregation degree of Aβ aggregates. Therefore, by detecting the fluorescence intensity with a fluorescence spectrophotometer or a multifunctional microplate reader, the inhibition of compound on Aβ 1-42 self-aggregation can be calculated.
[0186] 1. Experimental materials
[0187] Compounds: Compounds S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8 in Examples; Scutellarein in the comparative example
[0188] 2. Experimental method
[0189] All compounds were screened at a concentration of 50 μM, and 3 replicate wells were set up for the experiment, with the experiment being conducted independently 3 times.
[0190] Mix 10 μL of a series of test compounds (50 μM, final concentration) or PBS with 10 μL of Aβ 1-42(25 μM, final concentration) was incubated at 37 °C in the dark for 24 h. After incubation, 20 μL of the sample was extracted into a black 96-well plate, diluted to 200 μL with 180 μL of glycine-sodium hydroxide buffer (50 mM, pH 8.5) containing 5 μM ThT, and the fluorescence intensity was measured using a multi-functional microplate reader after gently shaking at low speed for 5 min. (The excitation wavelength was 450 nm and the emission wavelength was 490 nm).
[0191] The percentage inhibition of self-induced aggregation (I Aβ1-42 , %) was calculated using the following formula.
[0192] I Aβ1-42 (%) = 1 - (Fs / F0) × 100%
[0193] Fs: Fluorescence intensity of the sample group after background subtraction; F0: Fluorescence intensity of the blank group after background subtraction.
[0194] 3. Experimental results, see Table 1 and Figure 1 .
[0195] Table 1. Inhibitory effects of different compounds on Aβ 1-42 self-induced aggregation
[0196]
[0197] From the experimental results in Table 1, it can be seen that except for compound S1, the inhibitory rates of the other compounds on self-induced Aβ 1-42 aggregation were all greater than 50% at a concentration of 50 μM. In particular, compound S7 had a stronger inhibitory activity on Aβ 1-42 than the positive control scutellarin. Based on the fact that Aβ 1-42 deposition plays a very important role in the formation and progression of AD, the S series compounds of this invention application have great potential in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

[0200] Compounds: Compounds S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8 of the examples; Scutellarin of the comparative example
[0201] 2 Experimental methods
[0202] In this experiment, the mouse macrophage-like cell line (RAW264.7) was used as a model. First, the cytotoxicity of the compounds to RAW264.7 was tested by the MTT method (the maximum drug concentration was 500 μM) to exclude the interference of the compounds on cell growth activity. The drug concentration was taken when the cell viability > 90%, and the Griess method was used to measure the NO content in the culture medium.
[0203] (1) Detection of the effects of various compounds on the viability of RAW264.7 cells by MTT method
[0204] In each well of a 96-well plate, inoculate 100 μL of RAW264.7 cell suspension (cell density is 5×10 3 cells / well), place it at 37 °C and 5% CO2, and administer the drug after culturing for 24 h. Set the background wells, test groups, and blank group to have 3 replicate wells each. Add 8 different concentrations of the sample solution to the test groups (add DMEM medium to the blank group). After continuing to culture for 24 h, add 20 μL of MTT solution (5 mg / mL) to each well. After incubating in the incubator for 4 h to form crystals, aspirate the supernatant, add 150 μL of DMSO to each well, place it on a shaker and shake at low speed for 15 min to fully dissolve the crystals. Measure the absorbance of each well at 490 nm on an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader, and calculate the cell survival rate according to the following formula.
[0205] Cell survival rate = (OD s - OD r ) / (OD0 - OD r ) × 100%
[0206] OD s : Absorbance of the sample group; OD r : Absorbance of the background group; OD0: Absorbance of the blank group.
[0207] (2) Detection of the effects of various compounds on the release of NO from LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells by Griess method
[0208] In each well of a 96-well plate, inoculate 100 μL of RAW264.7 cell suspension (cell density is 5×10 4 cells / well), place it at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in an incubator. After culturing for 24 h, first add LPS (1 μg / mL) and let it act for 1 h, then administer the drug. After continuing to culture for 24 h, transfer 50 μL of the cell supernatant to another 96-well cell culture plate, add 50 μL of each of Griess A and B reagents, react in the dark for 10 min, and measure the OD value at 540 nm. Calculate the concentration of NO according to the standard curve made with NaNO2.
[0209] Set up a blank group (add DMEM medium, no LPS stimulation), an LPS model group (add DMEM medium, with LPS stimulation), a positive drug group (scutellarin, with LPS stimulation), and a test group (10 μM drug, with LPS stimulation), each with 3 replicate wells.
[0210] 3 Experimental results
[0211] Detection of the effects of various compounds on the viability of RAW264.7 cells by MTT method
[0212] It was obtained through MTT experiments that when the concentration of compounds S1 - S8 was 10 μM, the cell survival rate was greater than 90%. Therefore, under this condition, the determination of the NO expression rate of S1 - S8 was carried out.
[0213] (1) Detection of the effect of each compound on the release of NO from LPS - induced RAW264.7 cells by the Griess method
[0214] Table 2. Effects of different compounds on the release of NO from LPS - induced RAW264.7 cells
[0215]
[0216] The experimental results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 2 , it can be seen from the experimental results that S1, S2, S3, and S4 in the compounds have weak inhibition on NO expression, while S6, S7, and S8 have relatively prominent inhibitory effects on NO, all stronger than the positive control drug scutellarin. Especially compound S7 has an inhibition of NO reaching 50%. The NO experiment confirmed that the scutellarin - modified S - series compounds of this invention application have good anti - inflammatory effects and can effectively counteract the process of Alzheimer's disease through the anti - inflammatory pathway.
[0217] Experimental Example 3 Determination of antioxidant activity - Determination of ABTS free radical scavenging ability
[0218] Experimental principle: 2,2'-azino - bis(3 - ethylbenzothiazoline - 6 - sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) is mixed with potassium persulfate solution to form a blue - green ABTS + cationic free radical. In the presence of an antioxidant, the free radical is scavenged, resulting in the fading of the solution. Then, the change in the absorbance value of this reaction solution at 734 nm is measured. The smaller the absorbance of the reaction solution, the stronger the scavenging ability of the free radical scavenger. Using this principle, the antioxidant activity of the compound can be determined.
[0219] 1 Experimental materials
[0220] Compounds: Examples S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8; Comparative example scutellarin
[0221] 2 Experimental methods
[0222] All compounds and the positive control drug were prepared into test solutions with concentrations of 400, 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, and 6.25 μM by the equal - ratio dilution method using DMSO as the solvent. The experiment was set with 3 replicate wells and independently repeated 3 times.
[0223] Accurately weigh 38.4 mg of ABTS powder, dissolve it in deionized water and make up the volume to 10 ml to obtain a 7 mmol / L ABTS solution for standby. Weigh 13.4 mg of potassium persulfate, dissolve it in deionized water and make up the volume to 10 ml to obtain a 4.96 mmol / L potassium persulfate solution for standby. Mix the ABTS solution and the potassium persulfate solution in a ratio of 1:1, and react in the dark at room temperature for 16 h, then dilute it with deionized water about 23 times. The ABTS solution is prepared and used immediately to make the absorbance value of this solution at 734 nm be 0.7 ± 0.02, and obtain ABTS + working solution.
[0224] Take 20 μL of a series of compounds to be tested or DMSO, mix it evenly with 180 μL of ABTS solution or deionized water, react in the dark at room temperature for 6 min, and then measure the absorbance at 734 nm with an enzyme-labeled instrument.
[0225] Use the following formula to calculate the scavenging rate (I ABTS , %).
[0226] I ABTS (%) = (1 - (A s - A r ) / A0) × 100%
[0227] A0: Absorbance of the blank group; Ar: Absorbance of the reference group; As: Absorbance of the sample group.
[0228] The experimental results are shown in Table 3 and Figure 3 , and it can be seen from the experimental results that all the compounds have stronger DPPH scavenging ability than scutellarin, especially compounds S4 and S7. Oxidation is the initiating core event of Alzheimer's disease and an important inducing factor for its subsequent occurrence and development. Antioxidation has a positive effect on intervening in the process of Alzheimer's disease. The S series of compounds modified from scutellarin in this invention application have very excellent antioxidant effects and can actively combat the occurrence and progression of Alzheimer's disease.

[0230]
[0231] The inventors of the present invention designed and synthesized novel drug molecules targeting multiple targets for Alzheimer's disease, and evaluated their activities of inhibiting Aβ protein deposition, anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation. From the summary of experimental results (Table 4), it can be seen that the compounds of the present invention, Compounds S1-S8, have multiple target activities such as inhibiting amyloid aggregation, reducing NO expression, and scavenging free radicals, and can counteract the progression of Alzheimer's disease through the above targets. In particular, Compound S7 has better effects of inhibiting amyloid aggregation, reducing NO expression, and scavenging free radicals than the control drug scutellarin, and has great potential for development into a drug for Alzheimer's disease.
