AI Technical Summary
Existing stroke treatments such as NBP and Eda have limitations in their ability to combat cerebral ischemia. NBP has a lack of significant therapeutic effect, Eda has poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability, and while 1400W has iNOS inhibitory activity, it has a weak ability to improve cerebral blood flow and has failed to achieve the ideal anti-cerebral ischemia effect.
Novel iNOS inhibitors containing amidine groups with neuroprotective functions were designed and synthesized. Compounds BN-1 and BN-4 were prepared through steps such as amide condensation, nucleophilic substitution and addition-elimination reaction. Combining the advantages of existing drugs, selective iNOS inhibition and neuroprotection were achieved, which can be used to prepare drugs for the prevention and treatment of stroke.
Compound BN-4 exhibited good iNOS inhibitory activity and neuroprotective ability in an ischemic stroke model, improved cell survival rate, and was superior to existing drugs. It also had good pharmacokinetic properties and drug-likeness, and significantly improved cerebral infarction and neurological function recovery.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a compound, in particular to a novel amidine-containing iNOS inhibitor with neuroprotective function and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Stroke, also known as cerebral apoplexy (Mol. Basis. Dis., 2020, 1866(4): 165260.), is caused by the obstruction or rupture of cerebral blood vessels, resulting in insufficient or interrupted cerebral blood flow supply, thereby causing brain tissue damage (J. Clin. Neurosci., 2021, 93: 174-182.). The symptoms of stroke can vary from patient to patient, and common symptoms include sudden onset of limb weakness, numbness or weakness, sudden onset of speech difficulty, difficulty understanding, visual loss or blurring, and severe headache, dizziness, loss of balance ability, etc. (Neurol. India, 2021, 69(2): 272-283). Stroke is a serious condition that usually requires emergency treatment.
[0003] Stroke is divided into ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke (Lancet, 2020, 396(10258): 1223-1249.). Among them, ischemic stroke refers to an acute cerebral vascular disease caused by multiple reasons of vascular damage, occlusion damage to the blood oxygen supply of the brain, ischemic and anoxic necrosis of the brain tissue, resulting in neurological impairment of the patient (Circulation, 2018, 137(12): e67-e492.). With the rapid increase in the aging population and the increasing incidence of cardiovascular disease, the incidence of acute ischemic stroke continues to rise, causing a significant burden on health (J. Stroke Cerebrovasc., 2022, 31(4): 106274.). In Western countries, its incidence is about 10 times that of hemorrhagic stroke. Stroke is the second most common cause of death and the third most common cause of disability in the world. Globally, the absolute number of deaths and disabilities caused by stroke has been increasing, placing a growing burden on low- and middle-income countries (Int. J. Mol. Med., 2022, 49(2): 1-9).
[0004] Current clinically used drugs, such as neuroprotective agent NBP and free radical scavenger Eda, show certain efficacy in anti-cerebral ischemia, but each has significant limitations. NBP has multi-target anti-cerebral ischemia activity, but its therapeutic effect is not outstanding (Neurosci. Lett., 2012, 516(2): 247-252); Eda needs to be administered by intravenous injection due to poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability, which increases the treatment cost and inconvenience. 1400W, as a highly selective iNOS inhibitor, shows good iNOS inhibitory activity in cell experiments, but its ability to improve cerebral blood flow is weak, and it fails to achieve ideal anti-cerebral ischemic effect (Neurochem. Res., 2011, 36: 476-486.).

Cells were then pretreated with a compound for 1 h, followed by stimulation with LPS (1 μg / mL) for 6 h. The culture supernatant was removed, and 100 μL of NOS assay buffer was added to each well. Then, 100 μL of NOS analysis reaction solution (5% 0.1 mM NADPH, 0.2% DAF-FM DA, 39.8% MilliQ water, 50% NOS analysis buffer, 5% L-arginine solution) was added to each well and incubated at 37 °C for 2 h. Fluorescence was measured using a Bio-Tek fluorescent plate reader at excitation at 495 nm and emission at 515 nm.
[0117] B. Evaluation of iNOS inhibitory activity at enzyme levels (hemoglobin capture method)
[0118] a. Add 20 μL of the analyte buffer [compound (4 μM-50 nM) + HEPES buffer stock solution (100 mM)] to a 96-well plate and heat the plate in an incubator at 37°C for about 30 minutes.
[0119] b. Add 10 μM L-arginine to HEPES buffer (100 mM, 10% glycerol, pH 7.4), which also contains 100 μM NADPH, 10 μM tetrahydrobiopterin and 4 μM human oxyhemoglobin.

[0125] 2. Experimental Results
[0126] like Figure 3The cell experiment results show that compounds BN-4, CN-1 to CN-4, and CH-2 can significantly inhibit NO production in Raw 264.7 cells, indicating that they have certain iNOS inhibitory activity. The enzyme level experiment results in Table 1 show that the IC 50 value of compound BN-4 is 0.1707 μM, which is the best in the series of compounds and is basically the same as the positive control 1400W.

[0130] Example 24: Evaluation of single dose on cerebral infarction area and recovery of neurological function of tMCAO cerebral ischemia model rats
[0131] 1. Experimental method
[0132] A. Preparation of rat tMACO model: In order to manufacture embolism model, nylon wire with diameter of 0.234 mm is selected, and the top end of the nylon wire is made thicker and is burned to a smooth ball with diameter of about 0.35 mm. A marker is made on the nylon wire at a distance of about 20 mm from the top end. The nylon wire is cleaned with 75% alcohol and is placed in 2500 U / mL heparin saline for use. The rats are anesthetized using a gas anesthesia machine (the anesthetic dose should not be too large to prevent the rats from dying due to excessive anesthesia), and the rats are fixed on the experimental table with their heads upward. An incision is made in the middle of the neck, and the skin is cut open using surgical scissors. The skin tissue is carefully torn open to find the blood vessels in the neck of the rat. First, the right common carotid artery (CCA) is found, and the right external carotid artery (ECA) and internal carotid artery are separated upward using a surgical thread. The two ends are ligated, and the thyroid superior artery and occipital artery, two branches of the external carotid artery, are cut. The ECA is doubly ligated near the CCA bifurcation about 6 mm away. A microartery clamp is used to clamp the blood vessel at the proximal end of the right common carotid artery, and a live knot is left at the proximal end of the right external carotid artery near the bifurcation. A V-shaped micro-incision with a diameter of about 0.2 mm is made between the proximal end of the ECA ligation and the common carotid artery bifurcation. The nylon wire head is gently inserted from the incision, and the knot is gently tightened. The internal carotid artery is cut between the two ligation lines to make it consistent with the direction of the internal carotid artery. The artery clamp is loosened, and the nylon wire is sent along the ECA and ICA into the cranium. The insertion depth is about 18 mm to 20 mm, and the resistance is stopped when the resistance is encountered. The nylon wire head is located at the beginning of the MCA, the blood flow of the MCA is blocked, the silk thread is tightened, the incision is sutured, and the tail of the nylon wire is left outside the body. After 2 h of ischemia, the modeling rats are anesthetized using a gas anesthesia machine. In order to perform reperfusion after ischemia, the top of the nylon wire needs to be returned to the micro-incision. The head end is gently pulled back into place using surgical forceps, and a slight resistance can be felt. At this time, the blood supply of the middle cerebral artery of the rat is restored, and the MCAO rat modeling is completed. At this time, the prepared drug is immediately injected into the tail vein for administration.
[0133] B. Detection index:
[0134] a. Measurement of cerebral infarction volume (TTC staining method): After the rat tMCAO model is established, the rats are sacrificed by anesthesia at 24 h or 72 h, and the head is dissected to remove the brain tissue. The brain tissue is quickly placed in the fresh layer of the refrigerator for 15 min to make the brain hard for slicing. The brain is cut into 5 pieces with uniform thickness, and then the brain slices are quickly placed in 5 mL of PBS buffer solution containing 2% TTC prepared in advance. The brain slices are wrapped with tin paper and placed in an oven for 37°C incubation for 15 min. During this process, the brain slices are turned over every 2 minutes to ensure uniform staining. After 15 min of incubation, the brain slices are removed, and the pale area (infarction area) and non-pale area (normal area) are separated using an ophthalmic forceps. The infarction percentage is calculated by Image pro-plus 6.0 as follows:
[0135] Infarction percentage (%) = pale area / (pale area + non-pale area) x 100%
[0136] Infarction area inhibition rate (%) = model group infarction percentage (%) - administration group infarction percentage (%) / model group infarction percentage (%) x 100
[0137] b. Longa neurological function rating: Before modeling, 2h and 24h after reperfusion administration, the animal's neurological function defects were graded according to Longa's method, and the standard was as follows:
[0138] 0 points: normal neurological function;
[0139] 1 point: mild neurological dysfunction: when lifting the tail, the animal's left forelimb flexes;
[0140] 2 points: moderate neurological dysfunction: when walking on a smooth surface, the animal turns to the left side;
[0141] 3 points: moderate neurological dysfunction: in a stationary state, tilt to the left;
[0142] 4 points: decreased consciousness, no spontaneous movement of limbs;
[0143] 5 points: no response to stimulation or death.
[0144] C. Inclusion and exclusion criteria of tMCAO model
[0145] Inclusion criteria: Longa score of 1-3 points;
[0146] Exclusion criteria: Longa score less than 1 point and score higher than 3 points; concurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage found when taking the brain; no ischemic lesion found by TTC staining; death within 72h of ischemia-reperfusion.
[0147] Statistical method: The neurological function defect grading score data is represented by median, and the rest of the data is represented by Mean ± SD; The statistical difference between groups of neurological function defect grading score data is analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann Whitney U test, and the statistical difference between groups of the rest of the data is analyzed by One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test, P value less than 0.05 is considered to have significant difference.
[0148] 2. Experimental results
[0149] We selected some compounds that performed well at the cellular and enzyme levels for single-dose in vivo experiments. Each group of compounds was administered at an equal molar dose of NBP 5mg / kg. For example, Figure 4As shown, compared with the model group, each group of compounds can significantly reduce the cerebral infarction volume induced by tMCAO model. The average cerebral infarction area of the model group was 44.29%, and the BN-1 (9.98 mg / kg), CN-1 (10.41 mg / kg), BN-4 (9.61 mg / kg), CN-4 (10.03 mg / kg), CH-1 (6.42 mg / kg), NBP (5 mg / kg), 1400W (6.58 mg / kg) and NBP+1400W (5 mg / kg+6.58 mg / kg) groups were 24.34%, 25.97%, 20.96%, 25.62%, 29.14%, 28.54%, 30.98%, 25.51%, respectively, as shown in the figure. Among them, BN-4 has the best activity, and the cerebral infarction volume inhibition rate is 51.19%, which is higher than that of BN-1 group (45.04%), CN-1 group (41.36%), CN-4 group (42.15%) and CH-1 group (34.20%). And the BN-4 group is also better than the NBP (35.58%), 1400W (30.05%) and the single and combined administration groups (42.40%). At 2h, 26h after ischemia, the neurological behavior scores of each group were evaluated, and at 24h after ischemia, BN-1, CN-1, BN-4, CN-4, CH-1 and NBP groups, and NBP+1400W combined administration group can significantly improve the neurological function score of rats. Among them, the BN-4 group has the most significant effect (P<0.0001 vs MCAO group), which is better than the equimolar BN-1, CN-1, CN-4, CH-1 group and NBP and 1400W single or combined administration group.
[0150] Example 25: Evaluation of cerebral infarction area and neurological function recovery of tMCAO cerebral ischemia model rats after multiple administrations
[0151] 1. Experimental method
[0152] Basically the same as in Example 24, three times of administration at 2h, 24h and 48h after ischemia.
[0153] Neurological function score: A. mNSS B. Corner test
[0154] A. mNSS: The neurological function status of tMCAO model at 24h and 72h after ischemia was evaluated by mNSS. The score was 0-14 points, including motor, sensory, reflex and balance tests. The normal state was scored as 0 points, and the maximum defect was scored as 14 points. The cumulative score of 10-14 points, 5-9 points and 1-4 points was severe, moderate and mild injury, respectively.
[0155] B. Corner Test: The purpose is to evaluate sensorimotor function in rats. This test is performed 24 and 72 hours after ischemia in rats. Two wooden boards (35cm × 25cm × 1.2cm) are prepared beforehand, joined together at one side, with the included angle not exceeding 35°. A small opening is left at the joint to allow light to pass through and attract the rat to crawl towards the corner. The rat is placed in front of the opening, head facing the board. As the rat enters the corner, the boards on either side stimulate it to turn to face the opening. Each test is repeated 10 times, recording the number of times the rat turns to the left. In healthy, non-acute cerebral ischemia rats, the probability of turning left and right is approximately equal; however, in ischemic rats, the probability of turning to the healthy side increases. The CT score R / 10% is calculated.
[0156] 2. Experimental Results
[0157] Based on the excellent performance of BN-4 in the single-dose tMCAO model, we further evaluated the in vivo efficacy of BN-4 through multiple dosing. Figure 5 As shown, the average infarct area in the model group was 35.64%, while that in the BN-4 (9.61 mg / kg) and NBP (5 mg / kg) groups was 16.62% and 23.30%, respectively. Compared with the model group, both BN-4 and NBP significantly reduced cerebral infarction induced by the tMCAO model. BN-4 showed the best activity, with an infarct volume inhibition rate of 53.68%, significantly higher than the NBP group (38.21%), indicating that compound BN-4 has a better inhibitory effect on cerebral infarction than NBP. At 24 h and 72 h after ischemia-reperfusion, the mNSS and corner test scores were assessed in each group. At 24 h after ischemia, the BN-4 group significantly improved rat mNSS behavior and corner test scores, superior to the NBP group. At 72 h after ischemia, both the BN-4 and NBP groups significantly improved rat mNSS behavior and corner test scores, still superior to NBP.
[0158] Example 26: In vitro stability test and water solubility
[0159] 1. Experimental Methods
[0160] A. Rat plasma and liver microsomal stability test
[0161] The test compound was configured to a final concentration of 200 μM in 1% DMSO / rat plasma solution, incubated at 37°C on a shaker, and sampled at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 h, respectively, and analyzed by HPLC to observe the degradation of the original compound. The test compound was configured to a final concentration of 200 μM in 1% DMSO / PBS solution, and the corresponding proportion of rat liver microsomes was added, with the proportion of organic phase not exceeding 1%, and incubated at 37°C on a shaker. The samples were taken at 0, 10, 30, 60 and 120 min, respectively, and analyzed by HPLC to observe the degradation of the original compound. The experiment was repeated three times.
[0162] B. Water solubility experiment
[0163] To determine the water solubility of the compound, it was dissolved in distilled water at different concentrations, and a standard curve was established using high-performance liquid chromatography. When complete dissolution was not possible, the maximum solubility of the compound in water was determined.
[0164] 2. Experimental results
[0165] Since BN-4 exhibited the best anti-cerebral infarction and improved neurological score in rats, it was selected as the preferred compound for further study. First, the stability of BN-4 in rat plasma and liver microsomes was tested, and the results are shown in Figure 6 BN-4 was slowly degraded in rat plasma or liver microsomes, with a half-life of about 23 h in rat plasma and a half-life of more than 120 min in liver microsomes, indicating that BN-4 was relatively stable in vitro. In addition, as shown in Figure 7 compared with NBP, BN-4 showed excellent water solubility. The solubility test by HPLC showed that the solubility of NBP in water was 0.25 mg / mL, while the solubility of BN-4 in water was 30 mg / mL, which was more than 100 times higher.
[0166] Example 27: Pharmacokinetics of compound BN-4 in rats in vivo
[0167] 1. Experimental method
[0168] The selected compounds were pharmacokinetic studied in SD rats. Rats (230-250g, 3 animals per time point) were administered BN-4 (10 mg / kg) and 1400W (6.8 mg / kg) intravenously. Blood samples (1.0 mL) were collected at 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 h after intravenous injection and placed in centrifuge tubes containing heparin sodium. Plasma was separated by centrifugation at 4°C. Plasma samples were extracted with acetonitrile containing a universal internal standard (carbamazepine). Samples were centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 20 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was collected for analysis. The concentrations of compounds in plasma were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and non-compartmental analysis was performed using WinNonlin software.
[0169] 2. Experimental Results
[0170] To further investigate the pharmacokinetics of BN-4 in vivo, we studied the pharmacokinetic parameters of BN-4 in whole blood after intravenous injection and compared them with those of 1400W. The experimental results showed that the C60 of BN-4... max AUC 0-∞ The values were 11.21 ± 2.85 nmol·mL, respectively. -1 and 16.47±1.27h·nmol·mL -1 All were above 1400 W (9.81 ± 2.85 nmol·mL). -1 and 5.07±0.38h·nmol·mL -1 This indicates that BN-4 has a higher in vivo distribution compared to intravenous administration of 1400W, potentially leading to better therapeutic effects. Furthermore, BN-4's T... 1 / 2 MRT 0-t and MRT 0-∞ The values were 5.21 ± 0.46 h and 1.62 ± 0.36 mL·h, respectively. -1 ·kg -1 and 1.91±0.49 mL·h -1 ·kg -1 All are higher than 1400W T 1 / 2 (2.79±0.13h, 0.96±0.19mL·h -1 ·kg -1 1.11±0.22 mL·h -1 ·kg -1 This indicates that BN-4 has a longer blood retention time compared to 1400W. Finally, we investigated the blood-brain distribution of BN-4 and 1400W. At the same molar concentration, the blood-brain ratios of BN-4 and 1400W were 27.36% and 10.96%, respectively, indicating that BN-4 has a better ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (Table 2).
