Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to a class of SSTR5-TGR5 ​​dual-effect compounds, and a pharmaceutical composition with the class of compounds as active components. The compounds are used for preventing and treating diseases related to SSTR5 and TGR5. Background Art

[0002] Gastrointestinal endocrine cells release a variety of gastrointestinal hormones in response to nutritional factors and external stimuli, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY), glucagon (GCG), gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) and cholecystokinin (CCK), etc. These gastrointestinal hormones have important physiological functions in regulating physiological functions in the body. Among them, GLP-1 is secreted by intestinal endocrine L-cells (Physiol Rev 87:1409–1439, 2007). It can promote insulin release and inhibit glucagon production in a blood sugar-dependent manner on pancreatic islets, inhibit β-cell apoptosis, and promote β-cell proliferation; it can delay gastric emptying when acting on the stomach; it can increase the utilization of glucose and reduce the utilization of fatty acids when acting on the heart, and play a myocardial protective function; it can inhibit appetite and promote nerve cell growth when acting on the brain, and play a neuroprotective function; it can reduce liver sugar and liver fat when acting on the liver, and resist fibrosis; it can promote energy metabolism when acting on muscle and adipose tissue. Therefore, drug development based on GLP-1 has been successfully applied to type 2 diabetes and obesity, and has shown positive therapeutic effects in clinical trials of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). GLP-2 is secreted by endocrine L cells (Annu. Rev. Physiol. 2014. 76: 561–83), which can promote intestinal absorption of nutrients, promote the growth of small intestinal villi and crypts, and its analogs have been successfully used in the treatment of short bowel syndrome and have shown positive therapeutic effects in inflammatory bowel disease. PYY is secreted by intestinal endocrine L cells and is mainly related to diet control. It is currently used to develop treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes. GIP is secreted by endocrine K cells and mainly acts on the pancreatic islet glucose-dependent insulin release and promotes β-cell proliferation. GCG is secreted by endocrine L cells and mainly plays a role in regulating blood glucose homeostasis. In summary, these gastrointestinal hormones play an important role in energy metabolism and are potential therapeutic strategies for chronic metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic liver fibrosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and gastrointestinal diseases.

[0003] Takeda G protein receptor 5 (TGR5) is widely expressed on endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract. When TGR5 receptor is activated, it can promote the release of gastrointestinal hormones GLP-1, GIP, GLP-2, PYY, and GCG through a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent pathway; therefore, TGR5 agonists can be used in the development of drugs for chronic metabolic diseases and gastrointestinal diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty hepatitis, obesity, and inflammatory bowel disease (Digestive and Liver Disease 46 (2014) 302–312). SSTR5 is widely distributed in the gastrointestinal tract, and its endogenous ligand is somatostatin. When somatostatin binds to SSTR5 (somatostatin receptor 5), it activates SSTR5, thereby inhibiting the release of insulin and gastrointestinal hormones GLP-1, GLP-2, PYY, GIP, and CCK (Results Probl Cell Differ, DOI 10.1007 / 400_2009_29). SSTR5 antagonists can relieve this effect and promote the release of insulin and gastrointestinal hormones GLP-1, GLP-2, PYY, GIP and CCK; they are potential therapeutic strategies for chronic metabolic diseases and gallbladder-related diseases.

[0004] Further studies have shown that when GLP-1 levels increase, activating the GLP-1 receptor in the body will promote the secretion of somatostatin, which in turn activates SSTR5 and antagonizes the secretion of GLP-1. This negative feedback regulation prevents GLP-1 levels from increasing significantly (JCI Insight. 2021; 6(4): e143228.). In addition, GLP-1 is rapidly degraded by the DPP4 enzyme in the body, with a half-life of only 1-2 minutes. DPP4 inhibitors can significantly increase GLP-1 levels. In vivo studies in mice have found that TGR5 agonists, SSTR5 antagonists, and DPP4 inhibitors have significant synergistic effects on increasing GLP-1, and can achieve supratherapeutic levels of GLP-1 (Diabetes 2018; 67: 309–320, ACS Pharmacol. Transl. Sci. 2018, 1, 3-11); similarly, since GLP-1, GLP-2, and GCG are all processed from the same precursor, proglucagon (GASTROENTEROLOGY 2007; 132: 2131–2157), theoretically, GCG and GLP-2 will also be greatly increased; similarly, TGR5 agonists can promote the release of GIP, SSTR5 antagonists can relieve the inhibition of GIP release, and DPP4 inhibitors can prevent the hydrolysis and inactivation of GIP, so the combination of the three can theoretically also achieve a significant increase in GIP.

[0222] Pharmacological Examples:

[0223] Pharmacological Example 1: In vitro SSTR5 antagonistic activity test of compounds

[0224] Test method: Calcium flow detection method

[0225] 1) Experimental principle: After the receptor binds to the ligand and is activated, it can cause the activation of Gα16 protein, which in turn activates phospholipase C (PLC) to produce IP3 and DAG. IP3 can bind to IP3 receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria in the cell, thereby causing the release of intracellular calcium. Therefore, measuring the changes in intracellular calcium can be used as a method to detect the activation state of hSSTR5. Fluo-4 / AM is a calcium fluorescent probe indicator used to measure calcium ions. As a non-polar, lipid-soluble compound, after entering the cell, under the action of cellular lipolytic enzymes, the AM group dissociates and releases Fluo-4; because Fluo-4 is a polar molecule and is not easy to pass through the lipid bilayer membrane, it can keep Fluo-4 in the cell for a long time. Finally, the level of Gα protein activation can be reflected by measuring the excited fluorescence intensity. Somatostatin, an agonist of SSTR5, can excite SSTR5 receptors and greatly increase the calcium flow response. The SSTR5 antagonist to be tested can inhibit the agonist activity of the SSTR5 receptor, reducing the calcium flow response of the receptor stimulated by the agonist.

[0226] 2) Experimental steps:

[0227] (1) hSSTR5-CHO-Gɑ16 and mSSTR5-CHO-Gɑ16 cell lines (purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA)) stably expressing hSSTR5 or mSSTR5 receptors were seeded at a density of 30,000 cells / well in a 96-well plate and cultured overnight in a 37°C incubator.

[0228] (2) Aspirate the culture medium, add 40 μl / well of freshly prepared dye, and incubate in a 37°C incubator for 45 min.

[0229] (3) Aspirate and discard the dye, wash once with freshly prepared calcium buffer, and then replace with 50 μl calcium buffer.

[0230] (4) Dilute the agonist Somatostatin-14 with calcium buffer and mix well.

[0231] (5) Detection with Flextation instrument. Starting from the 15th second, the instrument automatically adds 25 μl of pre-prepared agonist and finally reads the fluorescence value at 525 nm. Agonist EC 50 The agonist concentration was 9.7 nM, and 100 nM agonist concentration was selected to detect antagonist activity.

[0232] (6) Dilute the positive control antagonist and the test compound with calcium buffer and mix them evenly; wherein the positive control antagonist is 4-(8-((2,6-diethoxy-4'-fluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)methyl)-3-oxo-2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]dec-2-yl)benzoic acid, which is from the article ACS Med.Chem.Lett.2018,9,1082-1087.

[0233] (7) Aspirate and discard the dye, wash once with freshly prepared calcium buffer, and then replace with 50 μl of 10-fold concentration gradient diluted antagonist.

[0234] (8) Detection using a Flextation instrument. Starting from the 15th second, the instrument automatically adds 25 μl of a pre-prepared 100 nM agonist and finally reads the fluorescence value at 525 nm.

[0235] The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0236] Pharmacological Example 2: TGR5 agonist activity test of compounds

[0237] The cells were seeded in a 100 mm cell culture dish and cultured for 24 h. After digestion with trypsin, they were resuspended in serum-free DMEM and IBMX (final concentration 0.5 mmol / L) was added. 3 Cells / well / 5μL cell density were inoculated into 384-well plates, and then 5μL of compounds with different concentrations (0-10μmol / L) were added and mixed evenly, and incubated at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes. Finally, 5μL of diluted cAMP-d2 and 5μL of anti-cAMP-Cryptate were added, and centrifuged and mixed evenly. Reacted at room temperature in the dark for 1h. Finally, the Envision2101 multi-function microplate reader was used to read the data. The data was plotted using GraphPad software to obtain the EC50 value. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
