Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of medicinal chemistry and pharmacotherapeutic technology, specifically relating to a phenylpiperazine derivative or its pharmaceutical salt, its preparation method, and its application in the preparation of pain-relieving drugs. Background Technology

[0002] Pain is a common clinical symptom, affecting approximately 500 million people annually with various forms of pain. Currently, the most commonly used analgesics in clinical practice fall into two main categories: narcotic analgesics that directly activate opioid receptors and antipyretic analgesics, primarily nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). While these drugs have good clinical efficacy, they also have significant side effects, such as the addictive potential of opioids and the gastrointestinal side effects of NSAIDs. Furthermore, chronic and neuropathic pain cannot be effectively controlled with existing medications.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of related disciplines and the application of new technologies, some progress has been made in the research of various receptors and their selective ligands related to pain transmission. TRPV1, highly expressed in primary sensory neurons, is a non-specific cation channel that can be activated by hydrogen ions (pH < 5.5), high temperature (> 42°C), and other endogenous and exogenous ligands, playing an important role in the body's perception of temperature and pain. TRPV1 activation causes calcium ion influx, leading to the release of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide from nerve endings, thereby triggering pain. Downregulating TRPV1 expression or using TRPV1 antagonists can effectively prevent TRPV1 activation, inhibit the transmission of pain signals from peripheral nerves to the central nervous system, and alleviate pain caused by various nerve injuries. Research on TRPV1 antagonists has become one of the most promising directions in analgesic drug research. Some TRPV1 antagonists have the side effect of elevated body temperature, limiting the clinical progress of this class of drugs. Developing novel TRPV1 antagonists without the side effect of elevated body temperature is a research hotspot in this field. Based on this, this application was developed. Summary of the Invention

Preferably, it is an alkyl group containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms; more preferably, it is an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms; more preferably, it is an alkyl group containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and most preferably, it is methyl. Non-limiting examples include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, etc., and their various branched isomers. The alkyl group can be substituted or unsubstituted. When substituted, the substituent can be substituted at any usable linking point, preferably by one or more of the following groups, independently selected from halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, nitro, alkyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, heterocyclic, aryl, and heteroaryl groups.

[0051] "Cycloalkyl" refers to a saturated or partially unsaturated monocyclic or polycyclic cyclic hydrocarbon substituent comprising 3 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 3 to 12 carbon atoms, and more preferably 3 to 10 carbon atoms. Non-limiting examples of monocyclic cycloalkyl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexyl, cyclohexenyl, cyclohexadienyl, cycloheptyl, cyclohepttrienyl, cyclooctyl, etc.

[0052] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the event or circumstance described below may, but does not have to, occur. This description includes situations in which the event or circumstance may or may not occur. For example, "optionally alkyl-substituted heterocyclic group" means that an alkyl group may, but does not have to, be present.

[0144] The TRPV1 inhibitory activity and in vivo analgesic activity of the compounds in this invention can be determined using the assay system described below. The following biological test examples illustrate this invention.

[0145] The experimental methods used in the test examples of this invention are generally performed under standard conditions or according to the conditions recommended by the product manufacturer. Reagents not specifically attributed are commercially available and commonly used.

[0146] Test Example 1: Arousal activity of the compound of the present invention on hTRPV1-HEK293 stable transgenic cells

[0147] The hTRPV1 inhibitory activity of the compounds of this invention was determined using the following method:

[0148] hTRPV1-HEK293 stable cells were converted at 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ 4Seeds were placed at a density of / wells into 96-well plates and cultured overnight in a cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. Fluo-3AM calcium ion fluorescent probe was loaded at room temperature. First, a 2mM DMSO stock solution of Fluo-3AM was prepared. The Fluo-3AM solution was diluted with HBSS (Hank's balanced salt solution) to prepare a 5μM Fluo-3AM working solution. 10μL of the working solution was added to each well of the cell plate and incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. Then, 50μL of HBSS containing 1% fetal bovine serum was added to each well, and the plate was incubated for another 40 minutes. Cells were washed four times with Tyrode's solution, and 40 μL of a 100 nM compound solution was added to each well. Three replicates were set up for each sample concentration. An equal volume of N-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-4-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)piperazine-1-carboxamide (BCTC) was added to the positive control group, while Tyrode's solution was added to the negative control group. After incubation at 37°C for 30 minutes, capsaicin (50 nM) was applied for stimulation. The absorbance at λex = 488 nm and λex = 540 nm before and after capsaicin stimulation was measured to characterize cytoplasmic calcium ion concentration. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0149] Inhibition rate = (Difference in blank group - Difference in experimental group) / Difference in blank group (Difference = Difference in fluorescence value before and after capsaicin administration)

[0150] Table 1: hTRPV1 receptor inhibitory activity

[0151]

[0152] The chemical structures corresponding to the compound codes in Table 1 are the same as those in the examples.

[0153] Test results show that all compounds of this invention have significant inhibitory activity against TRPV1 at different concentrations. Among them, compounds I-17, I-19, I-20 and I-21 have strong inhibitory activity, comparable to the positive control BCTC.

[0154] Test Example 2: The in vivo analgesic activity of the compounds of the present invention can be determined using two mouse pain model assay systems as described below:

[0155] (1) Acetic acid-induced writhing test

[0156] Ten-week-old male Kunming mice (clean-grade, 22-25g) were fasted for 12 hours prior to the experiment and randomly divided into groups of six based on body weight. The compound of this invention was administered by gavage 30 minutes before the test, at a dose of 30 mg / kg. The blank control group received an equal volume of 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution. During the test, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 0.6% acetic acid solution, and the number of writhing responses (abdominal retraction, hind limb extension, and hip elevation) observed within 15 minutes was recorded.

[0157] (2) Capsaicin-induced mouse foot-licking experiment

[0158] Ten-week-old male Kunming mice (clean-grade, 22-25g) were fasted for 12 hours prior to the experiment and randomly divided into groups of six based on body weight. The compound of this invention was administered by gavage 30 minutes before the test, at a dose of 30 mg / kg. The blank control group received an equal volume of 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution. During the test, 20 μl of capsaicin solvent (1.6 μg / 20 μl) was injected subcutaneously into the dorsal side of the right hind paw using a microsyringe. The cumulative time of paw licking within 5 minutes after capsaicin injection was observed and recorded.

[0159] (3) Hot water bath-induced tail retraction experiment in mice

[0160] Ten-week-old male Kunming mice (clean-grade, 22-25g) were fasted for 12 hours prior to the experiment and randomly divided into groups of six based on body weight. The compound of this invention was administered by gavage 30 minutes before the test, at a dose of 30 mg / kg. The blank control group received an equal volume of 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution. During the test, one-third of the mouse tail was immersed in a 52°C water bath. The tail retraction response time was observed and recorded before and 30 minutes after administration. The heat injury response was expressed as the maximal possible effect percentage (MPE%), calculated as: MPE% = (response time after administration - baseline response time) / (cutoff time - baseline response time) × 100% (where the cutoff time was 12 seconds to avoid tissue damage).

[0161] The experimental results are shown in Table 2. Table 2 shows that the preferred compound described in this invention exhibits high analgesic effects in all three pain models, comparable to the analgesic effect produced by the positive control BCTC.

[0162] Table 2 shows the analgesic activity of some compounds in three mouse pain models.

[0163]

[0164]

[0165] Test Example 3: The effects of some compounds of this invention on mouse body temperature can be determined using two mouse pain model assay systems as described below:

[0166] Ten-week-old male Kunming mice (clean-grade, 22–25 g) were fasted for 12 hours prior to the experiment and randomly divided into groups of six based on body weight. The test compound group and the positive control BCTC group were administered the compound by gavage at a dose of 30 mg / kg. The control group received an equal volume of 0.5% CMC-Na. Body temperature was measured in all mice before administration and at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after administration. Results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0167] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the body temperature of mice in the positive control BCTC group was significantly elevated, while the compound described in this invention did not have the side effect of elevated body temperature and has higher safety.
