Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical technology, and in particular to deuterated benzimidazole derivatives and preparation methods and uses thereof. Background Art
[0002] Sleep disorders are caused by a variety of factors (often related to physical diseases), and the normal rhythm of sleep and wakefulness is disturbed, resulting in abnormal sleep quality and quantity and abnormal behavior during sleep. The most common clinical manifestation of sleep disorders is insomnia, which includes many forms, such as difficulty falling asleep, early awakening, poor sleep maintenance, decreased sleep quality, and disordered sleep structure. It is one of the complex series of diseases in neurology. The characteristics of insomnia are that in the appropriate sleep opportunity and environment, it is still difficult to fall asleep and / or sleep maintenance is short; it is difficult to meet the amount of sleep time, which affects the subjective experience of work and social activities the next day. Insomnia has a chronic course, and nearly half of severe insomnia can last for more than 10 years, seriously damaging the patient's physical and mental health. According to statistics from the World Health Organization: 27% of adults in the world have sleep disorders, and about 3,000 people die every day due to sleep disorders. In China, the incidence of insomnia is as high as 38.2%. Insomnia has a great impact on the global economy, environment and human life safety, and sleep issues have attracted the attention of the international community.
[0003] The traditional clinical approach to insomnia is to use sedative hypnotic drugs for treatment, but the sleep induced by these drugs is different from normal sleep, and there are large differences in non-rapid eye movement, rapid eye movement, and dreams. Patients often cannot get enough rest and their fatigue during the day continues to increase. Moreover, these drugs are drugs that control the central nervous system and have been found to be associated with risks such as falls, cognitive impairment, and abnormal behavior at night. Long-term use may lead to tolerance and physiological dependence, and withdrawal symptoms may occur after stopping the drug.
[0004] Orexin, also known as hypocretin, is a type of hormone secreted by the hypothalamus. There are two types of orexin, orexin-A and orexin-B (or hypocretin-1 and hypocretin-2). Studies have shown that the content of orexin is directly related to human hunger and sleep. Activation of the orexin pathway often leads to active central nervous system in the human body and difficulty in falling asleep. Inhibition of this pathway is expected to induce more adequate and effective normal physiological sleep and significantly improve sleep quality. Therefore, dual orexin receptor antagonists are considered to be a new generation of insomnia drugs with great potential, and their research and development field has attracted much attention for many years.
[0005] The dual orexin receptor antagonists currently on the market include: Merck's Belsomra (suvorexant), Eisai's Dayvigo (Lemborexant) and Idorsia's QUVIVIQ (Daridorexant). Compared with traditional sedatives and hypnotics, although dual orexin receptor antagonists improve patients' sleep quality, they all have more serious next-day residual effects and depression. Among them, Belsomra and Dayvigo have caused the FDA to issue safety risk warnings due to the above-mentioned serious side effects. Daridorexant also has related safety risks.
[0006] In recent years, the number of insomnia patients has increased day by day, and there is a great demand for the research and development of new drugs with better efficacy and fewer side effects. The present invention is proposed to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and meet the growing needs of patients. Summary of the invention

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, there is provided an intermediate as shown below, its tautomer, stereoisomer or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:
[0101]
[0102]
[0103] definition
[0104] Unless otherwise specified, D in the present invention represents deuterium ( 2 H).
[0105] Unless otherwise specified, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" or "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to salts that are suitable for contact with mammalian, especially human tissues without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reaction, etc. and commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio within the scope of reasonable medical judgment, such as amines, carboxylic acids and other types of medically acceptable salts of compounds are well known in the art. The salt can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of the present invention, or separately by reacting the free base or free acid with a suitable reagent. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt is preferably a hydrochloride.
[0106] Unless otherwise specified, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the present invention also include "solvates" thereof. The terms "solvate" and "solvate" mean a physical association of a salt of a compound of the present invention with one or more solvent molecules (whether organic or inorganic). The physical association includes hydrogen bonds. In some cases, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid, the solvate will be able to be separated. The solvent molecules in the solvate may exist in a regular arrangement and / or a disordered arrangement. The solvate may contain stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent molecules. "Solvate" encompasses solution phases and separable solvates. Exemplary solvates include, but are not limited to, hydrates, ethanolates, methanolates, and isopropanolates. Solvation methods are well known in the art.
[0107] Unless otherwise specified, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the present invention also include "hydrates" thereof. The term "hydrate" refers to a substance formed in which water molecules are combined with cations or anions in the compound by coordination bonds or covalent bonds, or in which water ions are not directly combined with cations or anions but exist in a certain proportion at a certain position in the solid crystal lattice.
[0108] Unless otherwise specified, the compounds of the present invention also include "prodrugs" thereof, which refers to a drug that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are generally useful and can improve some certain, undesirable physical or biological properties. Physical properties are generally related to solubility (too high or insufficient lipid or water solubility) or stability, while problematic biological properties include too rapid metabolism or poor bioavailability, which may themselves be related to physicochemical properties. For example, they can be bioavailable by oral administration, while the parent is not. Prodrugs also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions compared to the parent drug. An example of a prodrug, but not limited to this, can be any compound of the present invention, which is administered as an ester ("prodrug") to facilitate transmission across cell membranes, where water solubility is detrimental to mobility, but once inside the cell, water solubility is beneficial, which is then metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity. Another example of a prodrug can be a short peptide (polyamino acid) bound to an acid group, where the peptide is metabolized to reveal the active moiety.
[0109] Unless otherwise specified, the compounds of the present invention also include their "solvates". The terms "solvate" and "solvate" mean the physical association of the compounds of the present invention with one or more solvent molecules (whether organic or inorganic). The physical association includes hydrogen bonds. In some cases, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid, the solvate will be able to be separated. The solvent molecules in the solvate may exist in a regular arrangement and / or a disordered arrangement. The solvate may contain stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric solvent molecules. "Solvate" covers solution phases and separable solvates. Exemplary solvates include, but are not limited to, hydrates, ethanolates, methanolates, and isopropanolates. Solvation methods are well known in the art.
[0110] Unless otherwise specified, the compounds of the present invention also include their "hydrates". The term "hydrate" refers to a substance formed by water molecules combining with cations or anions in the compound by coordination bonds or covalent bonds, or by water ions not directly combining with cations or anions but existing in a certain proportion at a certain position in the solid crystal lattice.
[0111] Unless otherwise specified, the term "stereoisomer" refers to compounds with the same chemical constitution but different arrangements of atoms or groups in space. Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, conformers (rotamers), geometric isomers (cis / trans) isomers, atropisomers, etc. Any resulting mixture of stereoisomers can be separated into pure or substantially pure geometric isomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, for example, by chromatography and / or fractional crystallization based on the differences in the physical and chemical properties of the components.
[0112] Unless otherwise specified, the term "geometric isomer (cis / trans) isomer" may contain carbon-carbon double bonds or carbon-nitrogen double bonds in the E or Z configuration, wherein the term "E" represents higher order substituents on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon or carbon-nitrogen double bond, and the term "Z" represents higher order substituents on the same side of the carbon-carbon or carbon-nitrogen double bond (determined using the Cahn-Ingold Prelog priority rules). The compounds of the present invention may also exist as a mixture of "E" and "Z" isomers.
[0113] Unless otherwise specified, the term "tautomer" refers to structural isomers with different energies that can be interconverted through a low energy barrier. If tautomerism is possible (such as in solution), a chemical equilibrium of tautomers can be achieved. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions by proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers include interconversions by reorganization of some of the bonding electrons.
[0114] Unless otherwise indicated, the structural formulas described in the present invention include all isomeric forms (such as enantiomers, diastereomers, and geometric isomers (or conformational isomers)): for example, R, S configurations containing asymmetric centers, (Z), (E) isomers of double bonds, and (Z), (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers of the compounds of the present invention or mixtures of their enantiomers, diastereomers, or geometric isomers (or conformational isomers) are all within the scope of the present invention.
[0115] Unless otherwise specified, the term "treatment" encompasses any treatment of a disease, disorder or condition in a patient, including: (a) inhibiting the symptoms of the disease, disorder or condition, i.e., arresting its development; or (b) relieving the symptoms of the disease, disorder or condition, i.e., causing regression of the disease or symptoms; or (c) ameliorating or eliminating the disease, disorder or condition or one or more symptoms associated with the disease.
