Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, in particular to an indole ethylamine derivative and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] NAFLD (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) refers to acquired metabolic stress liver injury with excessive deposition of fat in liver cells as the main feature, except for alcohol and other clear liver damage factors. In recent years, with the development of social economy and the change of lifestyle, NAFLD has become the most common chronic liver disease in the world, affecting people's health, and has become an important public health problem in China in recent years. NAFLD is harmful and there is no effective targeted drug in clinical practice. Finding effective drugs for treating NAFLD is an urgent need for clinical medicine.

[0003] Excessive accumulation of triglycerides, free fatty acids, diglycerides, oxidized sterols and other lipids in hepatocytes is the main factor of NAFLD. The essence of NAFLD is the imbalance of lipid metabolism in the liver, mainly manifested in the increase of lipid entering the liver and the decrease of metabolized lipid. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) is an important factor in regulating metabolic syndrome, and also an important factor in regulating lipid metabolism. PPARα is highly expressed in the liver and is involved in fatty acid uptake, binding, oxidation and lipid transport. PPARα can directly regulate carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1). CPT1 is a rate-limiting enzyme for fatty acid beta-oxidation, thereby regulating the process of hepatic fatty acid beta-oxidation, which provides a new idea for the treatment of NAFLD. Therefore, we speculate that the dual activator of PPARα / CPT1 has great practical significance in the treatment of NAFLD.

[0004] Indole derivatives exist widely in nature, most of which have biological activity and are widely used in the fields of pesticides, medicines, dyes, feed, food and additives. Obtaining indole derivatives by organic synthesis method is also a current research hotspot. Chinese patent document with publication number CN113292476A discloses sulfanilamide indole derivatives, a preparation method and application thereof. The general formula of the sulfanilamide indole derivative is shown in the following formula (left). Such compounds have good inhibitory activity against gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, especially against Staphylococcus aureus, and are less likely to develop drug resistance and have low cytotoxicity. Chinese patent document with publication number CN115368289A discloses an antitumor bisindole methane derivative compound, a preparation method and application thereof. The structural formula of the bisindole methane derivative is shown in the following formula (right). Such bisindole methane has significant antitumor activity and can efficiently kill multiple types of cancer cells.
