Technical Field
[0003] The present invention relates to a series of nitrogen-bridged heterocyclic compounds and preparation methods thereof, and particularly to compounds represented by formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Background Art
[0004] The complement system, composed of over 50 precisely regulated proteins, is a crucial component of the body's innate immunity and serves as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity. The complement system is activated primarily through three pathways: the classical pathway (CP), the lectin pathway (LP), and the alternative pathway (AP).
[0005] All three activation pathways are centered around the formation of C3 convertase and C5 convertase. By cleaving C3 and C5, they generate corresponding bioactive fragments, further amplifying the complement response. These fragments modify target surfaces and promote processes such as phagocytosis, inflammation, and immunomodulation. The process from contact with the activation initiator to the generation of C3 convertase (and subsequent cleavage of C3) can be considered the front-end reactions of these activation pathways. Although the front-end reactions of these activation pathways vary, they share a common terminal pathway: the generation of C5 convertase, which cleaves C5 to form the C5b fragment, which sequentially reacts with C6, C7, C8, and C9 to ultimately form the membrane attack complex (MAC), exerting a cytolytic effect.
[0006] Complement Factor B acts on the AP pathway. Inhibiting Factor B activity can prevent AP pathway activation without interfering with the CP and LP pathways, thereby reducing the risk of infection caused by increased complement system inhibition. Currently, there are no small molecule Factor B inhibitors on the market. Novartis' Factor B inhibitor LNP023 is in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of diseases such as PNH, IgAN, and C3G. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new small molecule inhibitors of the complement system Factor B, increase clinical research and validation, and use them in the treatment of various diseases caused by complement abnormalities, providing new treatment options for unmet clinical needs.

Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in substituents such as alkyl groups. All such isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
[0144] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "enantiomer" or "optical isomer" refers to stereoisomers that are mirror images of one another.
[0145] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "cis-trans isomers" or "geometric isomers" arises from the inability to rotate freely about double bonds or single bonds forming ring carbon atoms.
[0146] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "diastereomer" refers to stereoisomers that have two or more chiral centers and that are not mirror images of each other.
[0147] Unless otherwise indicated, "(+)" indicates dextrorotatory, "(-)" indicates levorotatory, and "(±)" indicates racemic.
[0148] Unless otherwise specified, use a solid wedge key. and dotted wedge key To indicate the absolute configuration of a stereocenter, use a straight solid bond and straight dashed key Indicate the relative configuration of stereocenters with a wavy line Indicates a wedge-shaped solid key or dotted wedge key Or use a wavy line Indicates a straight solid bond or straight dashed key
[0149] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" refers to isomers of different functional groups that are in dynamic equilibrium at room temperature and can readily interconvert into each other. If tautomerism is possible (e.g., in solution), chemical equilibrium of the tautomers can be achieved. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions that occur via proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers include interconversions that occur via the reorganization of some bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the interconversion between pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one. Tautomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
[0150] Unless otherwise indicated, the terms "enriched in one isomer", "isomerically enriched", "enriched in one enantiomer" or "enantiomerically enriched" mean that the content of one isomer or enantiomer is less than 100%, and the content of that isomer or enantiomer is greater than or equal to 60%, or greater than or equal to 70%, or greater than or equal to 80%, or greater than or equal to 90%, or greater than or equal to 95%, or greater than or equal to 96%, or greater than or equal to 97%, or greater than or equal to 98%, or greater than or equal to 99%, or greater than or equal to 99.5%, or greater than or equal to 99.6%, or greater than or equal to 99.7%, or greater than or equal to 99.8%, or greater than or equal to 99.9%.
[0151] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "isomer excess" or "enantiomeric excess" refers to the difference between the relative percentages of two isomers or two enantiomers. For example, if the content of one isomer or enantiomer is 90% and the content of the other isomer or enantiomer is 10%, the isomer or enantiomeric excess (ee value) is 80%.
[0152] The compounds of the present invention may contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute the compound. For example, the compounds may be labeled with radioactive isotopes, such as tritium ( 3 H), iodine-125( 125 I) or C-14( 14 C). For example, deuterated drugs can be formed by replacing hydrogen with heavy hydrogen. The bond between deuterium and carbon is stronger than the bond between ordinary hydrogen and carbon. Compared with non-deuterated drugs, deuterated drugs have advantages such as reduced toxic side effects, increased drug stability, enhanced efficacy, and prolonged drug biological half-life. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are included within the scope of this invention.
[0153] The terms "optional" or "optionally" mean that the subsequently described event or circumstance may but need not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not.
[0154] The term "substituted" means that any one or more hydrogen atoms on a particular atom are replaced by a substituent, which may include deuterium and hydrogen variants, as long as the valence state of the particular atom is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is oxygen (i.e., =O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are replaced. Oxygen substitution does not occur on aromatic groups. The term "optionally substituted" means that it may be substituted or unsubstituted, and unless otherwise specified, the type and number of substituents can be any on the basis of chemical achievable.
[0155] When any variable (e.g., R) occurs more than once in a compound's composition or structure, its definition in each case is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 0-2 Rs, the group may optionally be substituted with up to two Rs, and each R has independent options. For example, if a group is substituted with 0 Rs, the group is unsubstituted. Furthermore, combinations of substituents and / or variants thereof are permitted only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
[0156] When the substituents listed do not specify through which atom they are connected to the substituted group, such substituents can be bonded through any atom thereof. For example, a pyridyl substituent can be connected to the substituted group through any carbon atom on the pyridine ring.
[0157] Unless otherwise specified, when a group has one or more connectable sites, any one or more sites of the group can be connected to other groups through chemical bonds. When the chemical bond connection mode is non-positional and there are H atoms at the connectable sites, when the chemical bond is connected, the number of H atoms at the site will decrease accordingly with the number of connected chemical bonds, and become a group with a corresponding valence. The chemical bond connecting the site to other groups can be a straight solid bond. Straight dotted key or wavy lines For example, the straight solid bond in -OCH3 indicates that it is connected to other groups through the oxygen atom in the group; The straight dashed bond in the group indicates that the two ends of the nitrogen atom in the group are connected to other groups; The wavy line in the phenyl group indicates that it is connected to other groups through the carbon atoms at positions 1 and 2 in the phenyl group; Indicates that any linkable site on the piperidinyl group can be connected to other groups through a chemical bond, including at least In these four connection methods, even if an H atom is drawn on -N-, Still includes For groups connected in this way, when one chemical bond is connected, the H at that site will be reduced by one and become a corresponding monovalent piperidine group.
[0158] When a variable (e.g., R) is substituted on one ring of a polycyclic ring system, unless otherwise specified, the variable (e.g., R) is designated as substituted on that ring and not on other rings of the polycyclic ring system, e.g., represents that ring A and ring B are fused together, substituent R1 is a substituent of ring A, and substituent R2 is a substituent of ring B, It means that the five-membered ring in the spirocyclic system is replaced by n Rs.
