Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medicine, and relates to a 4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolin-4-one derivative and its application as an ATX enzyme inhibitor and its application in the preparation of a drug for treating and / or preventing diseases caused by abnormality of the ATX-LPA functional axis, in particular, in the preparation of a drug for treating and / or preventing fibrotic diseases and cancer. BACKGROUND

[0002] Autotaxin (ATX) is an enzyme with lysophospholipase D activity, and the process of hydrolyzing lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to generate lysophosphatidate (LPA) is the main source of LPA in the human body in pathological conditions. In particular, in fibrotic and tumor lesion tissues, ATX is highly expressed, producing high concentrations of LPA, which, by binding to its receptors (LPAR 1~6 ), activates Rho / Rock, TGF-β / Smads, MAPK, VEGF, and other signaling pathways, thereby accelerating the occurrence and development of fibrosis, inflammation, cancer, and other diseases. Therefore, inhibiting the activity of ATX and blocking the generation of LPA from the source are effective ways to treat serious diseases such as fibrosis and tumors.

[0003] With the continuous deepening of research on the ATX target, great progress has been made in the development of new inhibitors, especially in the field of fibrotic diseases and cancer. Currently, the indole drug PAT-409 (WO2015077503) developed by Blade Therapeutics is used for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and has entered the clinical phase II research stage; the 3H-imidazol[4,5-b]pyridine drug IOA-289 (CN107428752) developed by iOnctura and the long alkyl chain-containing substrate analogue 2-carba-Cpa (US2011086820) developed by Ochanomizu University are in the clinical I / II phase research stage, and are suitable for fibrosis and solid tumors, etc. In addition, BBT-877 (phase II) developed by Boehringer Ingelheim and Bridge Biotherapeutics, and FTP-198 (phase I) developed by Hytharrx are also in the clinical research stage, but the chemical structures of the two have not been disclosed.

[0004] In recent years, there are very few patent reports on ATX inhibitors, especially non-competitive allosteric inhibitors. Among them, patent WO 2024 / 180520 reports a class of 2-indolone compounds, patent WO 2024 / 201308 reports a class of 1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-one compounds, and the unit reports a class of N-arylindole compounds in patent CN116396205. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a 4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolin-4-one derivative with novel structure, excellent drug-like properties and outstanding activity, and its application as a non-competitive ATX enzyme allosteric inhibitor, and its application in the preparation of drugs for treating and / or preventing diseases caused by abnormalities in the ATX-LPA functional axis, especially in the preparation of drugs for treating and / or preventing fibrotic diseases and cancer.

[0182] I. Inhibition of Autotaxin (ATX) enzyme activity

[0183] 1. Preparation of enzyme activity assay buffer: 1.51 g of Tris, 238 mg of MgCl2, 277 mg of CaCl2 and 25 mg of Triton X-100 were added to 230 mL of double distilled water, and the solids were completely dissolved by stirring. The pH was adjusted to 7.4 with dilute hydrochloric acid, and the volume was made up to 250 mL with a volumetric flask, and the solution was stored at 4°C.

[0184] 2. Preparation of compound stock solutions: All compounds and the positive drug (PAT-409) were dissolved in DMSO to prepare a 4 mM stock solution, which was stored at -20°C.

[0185] 3. Enzyme activity inhibition test

[0186] The above-obtained stock solutions of the test compounds and the positive drug (PAT-409) were diluted to 8 concentrations, and 10 μL of each solution was added to each well of a 96-well plate. Then, 20 μL of an ATX (1 μg / mL) solution was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. Next, 20 μL of a 1 μM FS-3 solution was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. Then, the 96-well plate was placed on a microplate reader to read the fluorescence value (λ ex / λ em = 487 / 520 nm). The results were input into GraphPad Prism software, and the IC 50 values of the compounds were calculated by fitting. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0188]

[0189] Note: A < 10, 10 < B < 100, 100 ≤ C ≤ 1000

[0190] The experimental results show that the compounds of the present application have good inhibitory activity against ATX enzyme (IC 50 values less than 1000 nM are considered to have strong activity). The IC 50 values of the example compounds are all less than 1000 nM, and the IC 50 values of some of the compounds are less than 10 nM. In particular, the IC 50 = 4.5 nM) and 8 (IC 50= 0.97 nM), 9 (IC 50 = 2.4 nM), 11 (IC 50 = 3.1 nM) and the like have better inhibitory activity on ATX enzyme than the positive control PAT-409 (IC 50 = 4.9 nM).

[0191] II. In vitro anti-tumor cell proliferation activity study

[0192] The example compounds of the present application were screened for in vitro anti-MCF-7 breast cancer cell proliferation activity.

[0193] 1. MCF-7 cells in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into 96-well plates to control the cell density at 10 4 cells / well, so that the cells were evenly distributed in the wells. The cells were incubated in an incubator overnight to adhere to the wall.

[0194] 2. The next day, the old culture medium was removed, and 200 μL of culture medium (90% DMEM-H + 10% FBS) containing different concentrations (30 μM, 10 μM, 1 μM, 333 nM, 111 nM, 37 nM, 12 nM, 4 nM) of the test sample (the compounds prepared in the above examples) was added to each well, while a blank control group (0.1% DMSO) and a positive drug group (PAT-409) were set up, and each group had 3 parallel wells. The cells were incubated in the incubator for 72 h.

[0195] 3. After the cells were treated with the drugs for 72 h, MTT solution (5 mg / mL, 20 μL / well) was added to the 96-well plate, and the plate was incubated in the incubator for 4 h. The supernatant was removed, and DMSO (150 μL / well) was added to dissolve the formazan crystals.

[0196] 4. The absorbance value of each well at 492 nm was read by an enzyme-labeled instrument. The experimental results were input into GraphPad Prism software, and the IC 50 values of the compounds were calculated by fitting. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0197] As can be seen from Table 1, most of the compounds of the present application showed moderate anti-proliferation activity on breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Among them, compounds 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15 and 16, like the positive control PAT-409, have an IC 50 value of 10 nM to 100 nM for in vitro anti-MCF-7 cell proliferation activity.

[0198] III. In vivo anti-pulmonary fibrosis experiment

[0199] 1. Modeling

[0200] C57BL / 6J mice were housed and acclimated to the environment for one week under standard SPF laboratory conditions. The mice were then weighed and randomly divided into four groups: Ctrl (control), BLM (model), positive drug group (BLM + PAT-409), and test group (BLM + 8), with eight mice in each group. All mice were fasted and had free access to water the night before modeling.

[0201] C57BL / 6J mice were anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of 4% chloral hydrate (10 mL / kg). After the righting reflex disappeared, the mouse's upper incisors were suspended from a rubber band. The mouse's tongue and jaw were grasped with forceps, the mouth was gently opened, and bleomycin solution (4 U / kg) was dripped into the mouse's trachea using a pipette. After the instillation was complete, asthmatic breathing could be heard. The mouse was suspended from the rubber band for 10-15 minutes. Finally, the mouse was returned to its cage and allowed to recover.

[0202] 2. Administer medication

[0203] Preparation of drug solution: First, the drug (compound prepared in the above example) or control drug was added to 1% DMSO and 50% PEG 400 and sonicated for 5 minutes. Then, 5% Tween 80 and 44% saline were added and sonicated for 5 minutes. The drug-containing preparation was finally clear and transparent.

[0204] Dosage: The test group (Compound 8) was administered 60 mg / kg via oral gavage, the positive drug group (PAT-409) was administered 60 mg / kg via oral gavage, and the control group and model group were administered blank preparation via oral gavage.

[0205] Dosage time: Starting from the first day of model establishment, the drug was administered for 21 consecutive days. The mice were given once a day, and their body weight, hair glossiness, and autonomous activity were recorded.

[0206] 3. Masson staining of lung tissue

[0207] After 21 days of continuous administration, the mice were killed, and the lung tissues of the mice in each experimental group were taken for Masson staining to compare and observe their pathological changes.

[0208] The experimental results are as follows Figure 1 As shown, in the BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis model, alveolar walls were significantly thickened and collagen deposition was severe. However, after treatment with Compound 8, collagen deposition was significantly reduced compared to the BLM group, and alveolar walls returned to normal thickness. These results demonstrate that Compound 8 can counteract bleomycin-induced changes in lung tissue morphology and inhibit the production of lung collagen, thereby exerting its anti-fibrotic effect.
