Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to retinoic acid-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγ) modulators, preparation methods thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing these modulators, and their medical uses in treating RORγ-mediated inflammatory, metabolic and autoimmune diseases. Background Art
[0002] Retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptors (RORs) are a class of ligand-dependent transcription factors that play an important role in a series of physiological and pathological processes such as reproductive development, physiological rhythm regulation, metabolic disorders, inflammation, and immune system regulation. RORs are a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, including RORα, RORβ, and RORγ. RORα is mainly distributed in the liver, skeletal muscle, skin, lung, adipose tissue, kidney, thymus, brain, and blood, and is related to physiological and pathological processes such as hepatic gluconeogenesis, lipid metabolism, and atherosclerosis. RORβ is mainly distributed in the central nervous system, including the brain, retina, and pineal gland, and is mainly related to the processing of sensitive information in the spinal cord, thalamus, and cerebellar cortex. RORγ is highly expressed in the thymus, and is also distributed in the kidney, liver, heart, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, testis, prostate, and pancreas, and is related to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis.
[0003] RORγ includes two subtypes, RORγ1 and RORγ2 (RORγt). RORγ1 is expressed in a variety of tissues including the thymus, muscle, kidney and liver; RORγt is uniquely expressed in immune system cells and plays a key role in thymic generation, the development of several secondary lymphoid tissues and the differentiation of the Th17 lineage. Studies have shown that RORγt is a key regulator of Th17 cell differentiation. Th17 cells are a subtype of T helper cells that produce IL-17 and other proinflammatory cytokines. Th17 cells play a key role in several mouse autoimmune disease models, including encephalomyelitis (EAE) and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). In addition, studies have shown that Th17 cells or their products are associated with the pathology of a variety of human inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and asthma. The main cause of the onset of autoimmune diseases is intolerance to self-antigens and the development of auto-invasive effector T cells that infiltrate tissues. Th17 cells are one of the important driving factors in the inflammatory process of tissue-specific autoimmunity. During the development of the disease, Th17 cells are activated and are responsible for recruiting other inflammatory cells (neutrophils), thereby mediating lesions in target tissues.
[0004] RORγt has been reported as a key regulator of Th17 cell differentiation, and Th17 cells have recently been found to be a subset of T helper cells that preferentially produce the cytokines IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, and IL-22. RORγt induces transcription of genes encoding IL-17A and IL-17F in naive CD4+ T helper cells. Mice deficient in RORγt show very few Th17 cells. Inhibition and deletion of RORγt improve EAE.
[0005] In asthmatic patients, RORγt and IL-17A expression levels have been shown to be increased in saliva, lungs, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, and peripheral blood, and levels are directly correlated with disease severity. In addition to IL-17A, recent studies have shown that another cytokine of the IL-17 family, IL-17F, may play an important role in allergic airway inflammation and therefore has an important influence in airway diseases such as asthma. Overexpression of the IL-17F gene in the airways of mice is associated with airway neutrophilia, cytokine induction, increased airway hyperresponsiveness, and excessive mucus secretion.
[0006] In view of the role that RORγ plays in the pathogenesis of disease, it is desirable to prepare compounds that modulate RORγ activity and are therefore useful in treating RORγ-mediated inflammatory, metabolic, and autoimmune diseases, such as the respiratory diseases asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchitis, allergic diseases including allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis, cystic fibrosis, and lung allograft rejection. Summary of the invention

[0108]
[0109] SR1001 is an inverse agonist of RORγt and is used as a positive reference. Its structure is:
[0110]
[0111] Experimental steps:
[0112] 1. On the first day, cells were plated. 293T adherent cells were digested with 1 mL of trypsin for about 5 minutes. The digested cells were aspirated with a pipette and transferred to a 15 mL centrifuge tube. Centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. The old culture medium was discarded, and the cells were resuspended with fresh culture medium and diluted to the desired density.
[0113] 2. Count cells. Prepare cell suspension at a cell density of 15,000 cells / well. Seed the plate with 100 μL of cells per well. To prevent edge effects, only the middle 60 wells of the 96-well cell culture plate are seeded, and the 36 wells around the plate are filled with 100 μL of PBS per well. Culture the cells in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator.
[0114] 3. Perform transient transfection experiments 24 hours after cell plating. Prepare transient transfection plasmids (i.e. Gal4-RORγ-LBD: 25ng / well; PgL4.3-luc: 25ng / well) and transfection reagents (the concentration of liposome 2000 is 3 times that of DNA).
[0115] 4. After the transfection reagent is diluted, incubate for 5 minutes, mix the transfection reagent and plasmid and incubate for 20 minutes, then add 10 μL to each well. If the transient transfection lasts for more than 5 hours, small molecule compounds (SR1001 or Exp1-Exp34 compounds) can be added.
[0116] 5. If necessary, dilute the compound to be tested 3-fold (100-0.195 μM) with DMEM cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, then aspirate the existing culture medium in the cell culture plate, and then add the prepared compound to be tested and fresh culture medium.
[0117] 6. Then place the cells in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for culture. After about 24 hours, take out the cells, observe the cell growth under a microscope, and take the cell culture plate out of the cell room. Then perform a luciferase dual reporter gene detection experiment.
[0118] 7. First, discard the cell culture medium by aspirating, and then add about 100 μL PBS to wash the residual culture medium. Dilute the 5× cell lysis buffer to 1×, add 20 μL to each well, and then shake for about 20 minutes to lyse the cells.
[0119] 8. Transfer the cells into a white opaque 96-well assay plate. Then use the En Spire Alpha 2390 homogeneous luminescent immunoassay system to test the experimental results: Add the prepared firefly luciferin substrate to detect the cell activity after the compound interference.
