Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine technology. Specifically, the present invention relates to a GLP-1 / GCG / GIP triple receptor agonist and its use. More specifically, the present invention relates to a compound represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, a pharmaceutical composition and its use. Background Art
[0002] Diabetes is a metabolic disease closely related to obesity and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and its prevalence and incidence continue to increase worldwide. Although glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists such as dulaglutide and semaglutide are currently approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), metabolic diseases are characterized by complications and heterogeneity, especially type 2 diabetes accompanied by multiple complications such as obesity, and the efficacy of single-target treatment options is limited. Acting on multiple targets can improve the effectiveness of treating such diseases. However, combined administration based on multi-drug combinations, such as compound preparations, will complicate drug development and clinical research, but the development of single-molecule multi-target drugs can effectively avoid such problems.
[0003] Based on the effectiveness and safety of GLP-1 receptor agonists, the current research and development strategy is to develop them into single-molecule, multi-target drugs in combination with other intestinal hormones such as glucagon (GCG) and glucose-dependent incretin (GIP). These drugs act simultaneously on multiple targets, balancing the side effects and shortcomings of different targets while maintaining stable pharmacokinetic characteristics, ultimately resulting in therapeutic effects superior to those achieved with a single target. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a GLP-1 / GCG / GIP triple receptor agonist that exhibits strong agonist activity at all three receptors: GLP-1, GCG, and GIP.
[0005] The present invention is accomplished based on the following findings of the inventors:
[0006] Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by intestinal L-cells after a meal. It stimulates pancreatic beta cells to secrete insulin, thereby stabilizing postprandial blood sugar fluctuations. Its blood sugar-lowering effect is glucose concentration-dependent, significantly reducing the risk of hypoglycemia while regulating blood sugar. In recent years, GLP-1-based drugs, such as liraglutide, dulaglutide, and semaglutide, have gradually occupied a very important position in diabetes medications. GLP-1 drugs have the effect of reducing blood sugar and weight loss. The mechanism is that GLP-1 acts on the gastrointestinal tract to delay gastric emptying and intestinal motility, and on the central nervous system to suppress appetite, thereby reducing food intake. However, when used for weight loss, GLP-1 receptor agonists generally require large doses, are prone to gastrointestinal side effects, and have poor tolerability.
[0007] Glucagon (GCG) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by pancreatic α-cells that promotes glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, significantly increasing blood sugar. It also activates lipase, promoting fat breakdown, enhancing fatty acid oxidation, and increasing energy expenditure, resulting in fat and weight loss. While its glucose-raising properties make it useful for treating hypoglycemia, this limits its application in obesity weight loss, particularly in obese individuals with type 2 diabetes.
[0008] Glucose-dependent incretin (GIP) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by intestinal K cells. Both GIP and GLP-1 are incretins, both promoting insulin secretion and lowering blood glucose in a glucose-dependent manner, with GIP's blood glucose-lowering effect being stronger than that of GLP-1. However, diabetic patients exhibit insensitivity to GIP, likely due to receptor tolerance caused by hyperglycemia. Consequently, the use of GIP receptor agonists alone in diabetic patients has not achieved the goal of improving blood glucose.
[0009] Studies have found that the causes of metabolic disorder-related diseases (such as diabetes, obesity, and NASH) are complex, and the efficacy of single-target drugs is relatively limited.
[0010] Based on this, in one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a compound represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

[0220] Example 1: Preparation of polypeptide compound
[0221] 1. Human GLP-1, human GCG, human GIP and various polypeptide compounds (triple receptor agonists) were synthesized according to Table 1 below. The specific polypeptide compound structures are shown in Table 1.
[0222] Table 1 Compound structures of three receptor agonists
[0223]
[0224]
[0225]
[0226] Note: The amino acid code "X" in the sequence column of the above table refers to the unnatural amino acid αMeF(2F) mentioned above.
[0227] The specific steps for preparing a fatty acid side chain modified polypeptide compound are as follows:
[0228] 1) Place the resin in a 150ml reactor and add 50ml of dichloromethane (DCM) to soak for 2 hours. Wash the resin with dimethylformamide (DMF) and then drain it. Repeat this process four times and drain the resin. Weigh the first amino acid (protected) at the Fmoc-C terminus, DCM, and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) and add them to the reactor. Then place the reactor on a shaker at 30°C and react for 2 hours. Block with methanol solution (methanol:DIEA:DCM = 1:1:2) for half an hour, then wash four times with DMF and drain it. Add 20% piperidine solution to the reactor to remove the Fmoc protecting group. After deprotection, wash the resin four times with DMF and drain it.
[0229] 2) Weigh the second amino acid at the C-terminus of Fmoc (protected), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT), and N,N-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) into a reactor and place the reactor on a shaker at 30°C for 1 hour. Test a small amount of resin using the ninhydrin method. If the resin is colored, condensation is incomplete and the reaction should continue. After the reaction is complete, wash the resin four times with DMF and drain. Add a certain amount of 20% piperidine (piperidine / DMF = 1:4) to the reactor and shake on a decolorizing shaker for 20 minutes to remove the Fmoc protecting group from the resin. After deprotection, wash the resin four times with DMF and drain to check for protection.
[0230] 3) Follow the steps to connect amino acids. Use a specially protected Lys residue (the Lys residue attached to the side chain). Protect the N-terminal amino group with Boc anhydride. Remove the special protecting group from the Lys side chain and connect the side chain structure as in step 2. Remove all protecting groups from the peptide using a cleavage reagent and cleave it from the resin for purification.
[0231] 2. The target peptides were separated from impurities by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). The collected target peptides were lyophilized into powder and then analyzed for purity and mass spectrometry. HPLC analysis showed a purity greater than 95%. Mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the molecular weights of the peptides were consistent with the theoretical molecular weights.
[0232] Example 2: In vitro cell activity assay
[0233] The peptide, human GLP-1, human GCG and human GIP were respectively used to act on HEK293 cells expressing GLP-1R, GCGR and GIPR, and the cAMP produced by the receptor cells was detected using a cAMP detection kit (Cisbio, 62AM6PEC). The dose-effect curve was established and the EC value was calculated. 50 The specific steps are as follows:
[0234] 1) Prepare assay buffer: Prepare complete culture medium (DMEM + 10% FBS) by adding 4 / 1000 of 500 mM IBMX stock solution, cAMP-d2 working solution, and anti-cAMP-crytate working solution according to the cAMP assay kit instructions.
[0235] 2) Dilute the test sample to a 500 nM stock solution with Assay buffer, and dilute the human control peptides GLP-1, GCG, and GIP to a 200 nM stock solution. Then, add 20 μL to 80 μL of Assay buffer (5-fold dilution) in a gradient dilution, for a total of 8 compound gradients including the stock solution;
[0236] 3) Preparation of cell suspension: After removing HEK293-GLP-1R, HEK293-GCGR, and HEK293-GIPR cells from liquid nitrogen, they were immediately placed in a 37°C water bath. After complete thawing within 1.5 minutes, the cells were added dropwise to a 15 mL centrifuge tube containing 8 mL of warm culture medium in a clean bench. Centrifuge at 900 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and resuspend the cells in 1 mL of complete culture medium (by pipetting 15 times). Immediately, 20 μL of the suspension was mixed with an equal volume of trypan blue. 20 μL was taken to count the number of viable cells, and the cells were diluted to 4 × 10 with complete culture medium. 5 cells / mL;
[0237] 4) Divide a 384-well plate into areas for GLP-1R cells, GCGR cells, and GIPR cells. Use a 12-channel adjustable dispenser to add 5 μL of the cell suspension to the wells in the corresponding areas. Then, use a 12-channel adjustable dispenser to add a gradient dilution of the test sample (the polypeptide compound prepared in Example 1) and the positive control (human GLP-1, human GCG, or human GIP prepared in Example 1) to the 384-well plate corresponding to the cells, 5 μL per well (two replicate wells with the same concentration sample). Negative control: 10 μL assay buffer / well. Set up three wells per 384-well plate, cover with white sealing film, and place in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for half an hour.
[0238] 5) Immediately before use, dilute the cAMP-d2 working solution and anti-cAMP-crytate working solution 20-fold with the lysis buffer provided in the kit. Add 5 μL of lysis buffer and 5 μL of diluted anti-cAMP-crytate working solution to each well of the negative control. Then, mix the diluted cAMP-d2 working solution and anti-cAMP-crytate working solution in a 1:1 ratio. Add 10 μL per well to the sample group wells, cover with a white lid, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 1 hour or at 4°C overnight.
[0239] 6) Detect the fluorescence values at 665 nm and 620 nm in a multifunctional microplate reader. In GraphPad Prism 6, the signal ratio and sample concentration were nonlinearly fitted using a four-parameter equation to obtain the EC 50 The specific results are shown in Table 2.

[0241]
[0242]
[0243]
[0244] Experimental conclusion: The polypeptide compound of the present invention maintains high agonist activity on GLP-1R, GCGR and GIPR.
[0245] Example 3: Pharmacokinetic Study in Rats
[0246] Pharmacokinetic studies were conducted on the polypeptide compounds prepared in Example 1 using male Sprague Dawley rats. Three male rats were included in each group. The rats had free access to water and were not fasting. A single subcutaneous injection of 50 nmol / kg (specific polypeptide compounds are shown in Table 3) was administered. Plasma was collected at designated days and time points after administration, and the concentrations of the polypeptide compounds in plasma were determined using LC-MS / MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters were derived from the concentration data to describe the pharmacokinetic properties of the polypeptides in rats following subcutaneous injection. The experimental results are shown in Table 3.

[0248]
[0249] Note: T max : peak time; C max : Peak concentration; AUC last : Area under the drug-time curve at time 0-t; AUC INF : Area under the drug-time curve from 0 to ∞; T 1 / 2 : Elimination half-life.
[0250] Experimental conclusion: Except for PT-61, which is poorly absorbed in rats, other peptides are well absorbed in rats, with higher blood concentrations and longer half-lives.
[0251] LY3298176 in Examples 4 to 6 below is tirzepatide, a new drug for type 2 diabetes mellitus available on the market. The Vehicle group is injected with the corresponding vehicle, that is, the Vehicle group does not contain the polypeptide compound compared to the polypeptide compound drug group.
[0252] It should be noted that the significance levels in the following Examples 4 to 6 are the significance analysis results of each group (LY3298176 group and other polypeptide compound groups) and the Vehicle group respectively.
[0253] Example 4: Glucose tolerance assessment in normal C57BL / 6 mice
[0254] This example evaluates the effects of HEC-PT74, HEC-PT75, HEC-PT77, HEC-PT78, HEC-PT80, and HEC-PT82 on glucose tolerance in normal C57BL / 6 mice.
[0255] Experimental Methods: Normal C57BL / 6 mice were randomly divided into eight groups (Vehicle, LY3298176, HEC-PT74, HEC-PT75, HEC-PT77, HEC-PT78, HEC-PT80, and HEC-PT82) based on blood glucose and body weight, with eight mice in each group. Animals in the LY3298176, HEC-PT74, HEC-PT75, HEC-PT77, HEC-PT78, HEC-PT80, and HEC-PT82 groups received subcutaneous injections of the corresponding drug at a dose of 3 nmol / kg. The vehicle group received subcutaneous injections of the corresponding vehicle (PBS solution). Twelve hours after a single dose, animals were fasted for 12 hours and had free access to water. Blood was collected from the tail vein to determine the basal blood glucose level of each group of animals. 2g / kg glucose solution was then intraperitoneally injected, and blood glucose was tested at 15, 30, 60, and 90 minutes after glucose administration. Blood glucose concentration-time curves were drawn based on the blood glucose values measured at different time points, and the AUC of each dose group was calculated. 0~90min As shown in Table 4 and Figure 1 shown.

[0259] Experimental conclusion: After 24 hours of single administration, all treatment groups can improve the glucose tolerance of normal C57 mice. Among them, HEC-PT75, HEC-PT80, and HEC-PT82 are more effective in improving glucose tolerance than the positive control LY3298176.
[0260] Example 5: Glucose tolerance assessment in normal C57BL / 6 mice
[0261] This example evaluates the effects of HEC-PT86, HEC-PT96, HEC-PT112, HEC-PT113, HEC-PT114, and HEC-PT119 on glucose tolerance in normal C57BL / 6 mice.
[0262] Experimental Methods: Normal C57BL / 6 mice were randomly divided into eight groups (Vehicle, LY3298176, HEC-PT86, HEC-PT96, HEC-PT112, HEC-PT113, HEC-PT114, and HEC-PT119) based on blood glucose and body weight, with eight mice per group. Animals in the LY3298176, HEC-PT86, HEC-PT96, HEC-PT112, HEC-PT113, HEC-PT114, and HEC-PT119 groups received subcutaneous injections of the corresponding drug at a dose of 3 nmol / kg. The control group received subcutaneous injections of the corresponding vehicle. Twelve hours after the single administration, the animals were fasted for 12 hours and had free access to water. Blood was collected from the tail vein to determine the basal blood glucose level of each group of animals. 2g / kg glucose solution was then intraperitoneally injected, and blood glucose was tested at 15, 30, 60, and 90 minutes after glucose administration. Blood glucose concentration-time curves were drawn based on the blood glucose values measured at different time points, and the AUC of each dose group was calculated. 0~90min As shown in Table 5 and Figure 2 shown.

[0265] Note: Lowercase letters in the same column indicate significant differences compared with the Vehicle group (P<0.05).
[0266] Experimental Conclusion: After 24 hours of single administration, all treatment groups were able to improve the glucose tolerance of normal C57 mice. Among them, HEC-PT112 and HEC-PT113 were superior to the positive control LY3298176.
[0267] Example 6: In vivo efficacy evaluation in the db / db mouse model
[0268] This example evaluates the effects of HEC-PT74, HEC-PT77, HEC-PT85, and HEC-PT86 on blood glucose in db / db mice.
[0269] Experimental Methods: 7-8-week-old db / db mice were randomly divided into six groups (Vehicle, LY3298176, HEC-PT74, HEC-PT77, HEC-PT85, and HEC-PT86) based on their blood glucose and body weight, with nine mice per group. Animals in the LY3298176, HEC-PT74, HEC-PT77, HEC-PT85, and HEC-PT86 groups received subcutaneous injections of the corresponding drug at a dose of 10 nmol / kg every three days. Animals in the Vehicle group received subcutaneous injections of the corresponding vehicle. Blood glucose levels were measured before each administration.
[0270] Experimental results: HEC-PT74, HEC-PT77, HEC-PT85, and HEC-PT86 groups were able to significantly lower blood sugar levels after administration, with blood sugar levels reaching the lowest level around 24 hours later, and the effect was slightly better than the positive control LY3298176 at the same dose. Compared with Vehicle, the blood sugar levels of mice in the HEC-PT86 group were significantly lower after long-term repeated administration and remained stable for a long time, indicating that its hypoglycemic effect was better than that of the LY3298176 group. Specific data are shown in Table 6 and Figure 3-4 .

[0273] Note: The lowercase letters in the same column indicate significant differences compared with the Vehicle group (P<0.05).
[0274] Experimental Conclusion: Long-term administration of HEC-PT74, HEC-PT77, HEC-PT85, and HEC-PT86 significantly improved blood glucose levels in type II diabetic db / db mice, and the blood glucose-lowering effect was comparable to that of the positive control, LY3298176. HEC-PT86 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in blood glucose-lowering effect compared to LY3298176.
[0275] Example 7: Studies in diet-induced obese C57BL / 6 mice (DIO)
[0276] This example evaluates the effects of long-term repeated administration of HEC-PT77, HEC-PT86, and HEC-PT112 on body weight and food intake in DIO obese mice.
[0277] Experimental Methods: C57 / BL6 mice were randomly divided into a normal (NFD) group and a model (HFD) group at five weeks of age. The normal group was fed a standard maintenance diet, while the other groups were fed a high-fat diet, D12492. Body weight and food intake of the mice were monitored every three weeks. After 16 weeks of feeding, the body weights of the model and normal groups were (49.0±2.3) g and (31.0±2.0) g, respectively, with statistically significant differences between the two groups. The normal group was divided into a control group, and the successfully established model mice were divided into a vehicle group, a semaglutide group, a LY3298176 group, a HEC-PT77 group, a HEC-PT86 group, and a HEC-PT112 group, with 10 mice in each group. Semaglutide, LY3298176, HEC-PT77, HEC-PT86, and HEC-PT112 groups were subcutaneously injected with the corresponding drug; the vehicle group was subcutaneously injected with PBS. After the first dose, the animals were observed for 4 days. Each group was then dosed once every 3 days, with the dose for each group being 10 nmol / kg. Body weight and food intake were measured before each dose. After 3 weeks of dosing, an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was performed. 72 hours after the last dose, the animals were slaughtered and samples collected. Liver weights were recorded, and liver pathology and blood biochemical indicators were measured for each group. The test results are shown in Tables 7-10 and Figure 5 -6.
[0278] Semaglutide is commercially available semaglutide.
