Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to medicinal chemistry, in particular to a cinnoline-2-oxide compound and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of mammals. GABA can regulate the substance of nerve conduction accordingly, so it is widely used to treat various diseases, such as pain, Alzheimer's disease, multi-infarct dementia, stroke, epilepsy, anxiety, itching or depression. In nature, there are two types of GABA receptors, one is GABA A GABA receptor A R), which is a member of the ligand-gated ion channel superfamily, and the other is GABA B GABA receptor B R), which is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. GABA in mammals A The receptor subunits that have been discovered include α1-6, β1-4, γ1-3, δ, ε, θ and ρ1-2. Among them, the α subunit, β subunit and γ subunit form a complete functional GABA receptor. A The receptor is essential, and the alpha subunit is essential for benzodiazepines Compounds and GABA A Receptor binding is crucial.
[0003] In GABA A The drug that binds to the receptor allosteric binding site can be a positive allosteric modulator (or positive allosteric modulator) that increases receptor activity, a negative allosteric modulator (or negative allosteric modulator) that decreases receptor activity, or a neutral allosteric modulator (a compound that binds to the allosteric binding site but does not modulate receptor activity) that does not change receptor activity. Studies have shown that GABA containing the α2 subunit A Receptor (α2-GABA A Receptors) may be involved in certain pain states, and positive allosteric modulators of these receptors may be effective analgesics. A The regulatory activity of GABA receptors is currently A Modulators (such as benzodiazepines Therefore, the search for GABA is the main source of side effects (such as sedation, addiction, drowsiness, and amnesia). A receptors interact with α1-GABA A New compounds with fewer receptor-related side effects would have great therapeutic potential.
[0004] Studies have shown that orally active α2-GABAA The receptor positive allosteric modulator AZD7325 can mediate CYP3A4 enzyme induction, causing drug-drug interactions (D. Zhou, Z. Lu, Journal of Clinical Pharmacy & Therapeutics, 2014, 39 (4): 404-410). This may in turn cause adverse effects on drug metabolism, cause drug side effects, and reduce the safety of drug use. For example, if the test substance is a CYP enzyme inducer in clinical practice, it will reduce the exposure of itself (autoinduction) or other co-administered drugs (CYP enzyme substrates) in the body, thereby reducing the efficacy of the drug; at the same time, due to the promotion of the formation of metabolites, it may increase the risk of metabolite-related toxicity and adverse reactions; in addition, it can also promote the prodrug to generate more active metabolites, thereby increasing the risk. Summary of the invention
[0005] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for treating α2-GABA A The invention discloses a cinnoline-2-oxide compound which has good positive regulatory activity on the receptor and can reduce the side effects of the drug by reducing the potential of activating the pregnane X receptor (PXR), and a preparation method and use thereof.

The supernatant was taken and the above steps were repeated. The supernatant was centrifuged at 4°C (33800g; Thermo, rotor: A27-8x50) for 60min, and the precipitate was resuspended in Tris buffer (50mMTris-HCl, 10mMMgCl2, 0.5mM EDTA, 10% glycerol). The protein content was determined (BCA (bicinchoninic acid) protein quantification test method based on copper ion reduction method, BCA kit purchased from Pierce), 1mL aliquots were prepared, and stored at -80°C.
[0236] Radioligand competition binding assay: This assay was performed in a 200 μL system (96-well plate) containing 100 μL of cell membranes. 3 The concentration of H-flunitrazepam was 1 nM and the concentration of the test compound was 1 x 10 -5 -10 -6 M range. Flumazenil was used as a control. 1 μL 2mM flumazenil (final concentration 10 μM) was added to the low signal control well (Low control, LC), and 1 μL dimethyl sulfoxide was added to the high signal control well (High control, HC). The final concentration of the target membrane protein was 5 μg / well. The storage solution of all test compound samples was 10 mM dimethyl sulfoxide solution. The sample working concentration was to dilute all samples to 0.2 mM with dimethyl sulfoxide, and then perform 4-fold continuous gradient dilution, for a total of 8 concentration gradients. Seal the 96-well plate with a sealing film and incubate it on a shaker at room temperature for 1 hour. At the same time, soak the GF / C filter plate with a plate soaking buffer (0.3% PEI (polyethyleneimine, purchased from: Sigma-Aldrich, model: P314), stored at 4°C) for at least 0.5 hours. After the incubation, the cells were collected on the GF / C filter plate using a cell harvester and washed 4 times with a plate washing buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, stored at 4°C). After drying in a 50°C oven for 1 hour, the bottom of the dried GF / C filter plate was sealed with a membrane and the residual radioactivity of the membrane was detected by liquid scintillation counting. 50 μL of scintillation fluid was added to each well and sealed.

A receptor cell lines, GABA concentration is 0.05-0.07 μM (about EC 2~4 );For the expression of α2-GABA A receptor cell lines, GABA concentration is 0.10-0.11 μM (about EC 7~8 ). The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used for electrophysiological experiments. The method can be referred to the method reported in the literature (Nickolls, SA, et al. British Journal of Pharmacology, 2018, 175: 708-725). The composition of the extracellular solution (ECS) for electrophysiology is as follows: 150mM NaCl, 5mM KCl, 2.5mM CaCl2, 1mM MgCl2, 10mM HEPES and 10mM glucose (pH 7.4); the formula of the electrode internal solution (ICS) for electrophysiology is as follows: 140mM CsCl, 11mM EGTA, 10mM HEPES, 2mM CaCl2, 1mM MgCl2, 4mM MgATP, 2mM TEA (pH 7.3). GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) powder was prepared into a stock solution with pure water and then diluted in ECS; the compound was first prepared into a 4mM stock solution with dimethyl sulfoxide and then gradually diluted into the corresponding concentration of GABA-ECS. All solutions were freshly prepared before electrophysiological testing.
[0241] Electrophysiological signals were collected using an EPC 10 amplifier and PatchMaster software (HEKA) or an Axon 700B amplifier and Clampex software (AXON). Recording electrodes were made of borosilicate glass with an electrode resistance of 4 to 6 MΩ. Extracellular drug delivery was performed using an ALA-VC-8PG TM System. A single independently grown cell was selected, and the glass electrode was well sealed with the cell before breaking the membrane to form a whole-cell mode. The cell membrane potential was clamped at -60mV and recorded in Gap-free mode. During the experiment, extracellular fluid was first applied to the cell for about 20 seconds. After the baseline (I prebaseline ) stabilized, the extracellular fluid was switched to GABA-ECS. At this point, the current induced by GABA (I gaba After about 10 to 20 seconds, when the current is stable, the extracellular fluid is switched to a mixed solution of the compound and GABA-ECS until the current (I treatment Finally, the solution was switched to the extracellular solution and the test was terminated after recording for 20 to 40 seconds. gaba -I prebaseline ) Only cells with an absolute value greater than 40 pA and a relatively stable current within 10 to 20 seconds were used for compound testing.
[0242] α1-GABA A R and α2-GABA A The experimental results of the positive allosteric regulation of R were analyzed using PatchMaster v2x90.1 or PatchMaster v2x90.3 software (EPC 10 amplifier) and Clampex 10.6 software (Axon 700B amplifier). The current value of each stage was calculated as the average value of the current after stabilization under the corresponding conditions. We defined the control current as I gaba -I prebaseline , the current after compound treatment is defined as I treatment -I prebaseline The allosteric modulatory activity of the compound is expressed as a percentage and calculated according to the following formula: Functional activity = [(I treatment -I gaba ) / (I gaba -I prebaseline)] × 100%. If the value is negative, it means that the regulatory effect of the test compound on the GABA receptor is reverse allosteric regulation. If the value is positive, it means that the regulatory effect of the test compound on the GABA receptor is positive allosteric regulation. For the convenience of comparison, the positive compound CVL-865 (ie, Example 4 of WO2014091368A1) is used as the reference compound for normalization, that is, positive allosteric regulation activity = [functional activity of the compound / functional activity of the reference compound] × 100%.
[0243] Effects of each compound on α2-GABA A Receptor affinity activity and α1-GABA A , α2-GABA A The results of the positive allosteric regulation activity of the receptor are shown in Table 3 below.
[0244] It should be noted that under different detection systems, the absolute values of the functional activities of the compounds will have certain differences and are not comparable. Therefore, in order to facilitate comparison, the present invention simultaneously detects the control and the compounds involved under the same detection system, and uses the positive compound CVL-865 as a reference for normalization, that is, positive allosteric regulatory activity = [functional activity of the compound / functional activity of the reference compound] × 100%. The specific results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0260] 2) DPX2 cells were cultured in T-75 cell culture flasks at 37° C., 5% CO 2 , and 95% relative humidity. When the cell confluence reached 80-90%, the cells were passaged and plated.
[0261] 3) Rinse the cells in the T-75 flask with 10 mL of PBS. Remove the liquid and add 3-5 mL of trypsin to digest the cells. Incubate at 37°C until the cells are detached and suspended, then add excess complete medium to inactivate trypsin.
[0262] 4) Transfer the cell suspension to a centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 150 g for 5 minutes. After removing the supernatant, resuspend the cells in culture medium to a final concentration of 4.0 × 10 5 cells / mL. Take 100 μL of the cell suspension and add it to a 96-well cell plate. Place the cell plate in a 37°C, 5% CO2, 95% incubator for 24 hours.

[0264] 1) Prepare the stock solutions of the test compound and the inducer (control drug) with DMSO, and prepare the working solutions of the corresponding concentrations with the administration medium at 37°C. The final concentrations of the positive control drug rifampicin are 1μM, 10μM and 20μM, respectively, and the final concentration of the negative control drug propranolol is 10μM. The blank control is 0.1% DMSO, and the final working concentrations of the test compound are 1μM and 10μM. The final concentration of DMSO is 0.1%.
[0265] 2) Take out the cell culture plate from the incubator, remove the liquid, add 100 μL of working solution to each well, replace the working solution prepared with new dosing culture medium every 24 hours, and put the cell culture plate back into the incubator for incubation for 48 hours.
[0266] 3) Observe the cell morphology and monolayer integrity to ensure that the cell quality meets the experimental standards.

Take out 10μL GF-AFC Substrate and add it to 10mL Assay Buffer to form a 2× reaction solution. Then add 10mL PBS to dilute it to a 1× reaction solution. TM Transfer all Luciferase Transfer Assay Substrate powder to ONE-Glo Luciferase Assay Buffer.
[0270] 3) Take the cell culture plate out of the incubator and remove the working solution of the dosing medium in each well. Wash the cell culture plate once with preheated PBS and use a multi-channel pipette to add 1×CellTiter-Fluor TM The cell viability assay reagent reaction solution was added to each well of a 96-well cell culture plate at 50 μL and incubated in a 37°C incubator for 30 minutes.
[0271] 4) Take out the cell culture plate from the incubator, cool it to room temperature, and use a microplate reader to measure fluorescence at an excitation wavelength of 400 nM and an emission wavelength of 505 nM.
[0272] 5) Use a multi-channel pipette to transfer ONE-Glo TM Luciferase detection reagent was added to each well of a 96-well cell culture plate at 50 μL, and the plate was gently shaken to mix the reagents in the wells. After 5 minutes, the fluorescence value of each well was read using an ELISA reader.
[0273] 3.4 Data Analysis
[0274] All calculations were performed using Microsoft Excel.
[0275] 1) Cell viability (%) can be calculated by the following formula:
[0276] Cell viability (%) = (RFU 受试化合物 / RFU 空白对照 )×100
[0277] 2) Normalized luciferase activity was determined by RLU / RFU, where RFU represents the activity of the luciferase enzyme using CellTiter-Fluor TM Relative fluorescence values of compounds at different concentrations measured by cell viability assay reagent (triplicate), RLU means using ONE-Glo TM The relative fluorescence values of the compounds at different concentrations measured by luciferase assay reagent (triplicate). The RLU and RFU data of the blank control are the average values of the three replicates of the blank control samples.
[0278] The mRNA fold induction was determined by the following formula:
[0279] Induction fold = (RLU 受试化合物 / RFU 受试化合物 ) / (RLU 空白对照 / RFU 空白对照 )
[0280] 3) The control percentage (%) of the test compound and the positive compound (rifampicin) can be calculated by the following formula: Control percentage (%) of the test compound and the positive compound = (induction multiple 受试化合物 / Induction multiple 阳性对照组 )×100. The specific results are shown in Table 5 below.
