Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a GLP-1 / GCG dual agonist compound and its use. The compound is a dual agonist compound of glucagon (GCG) receptor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. Background Art

[0002] GLP-1 is a 37 amino acid peptide that stimulates insulin secretion, protects pancreatic beta cells, and inhibits glucagon secretion, gastric emptying, and food intake, leading to weight loss. GLP-1 is known as an incretin; incretin receptor signaling plays a key physiologically relevant role in glucose homeostasis. In normal physiology, GLP-1 is secreted from the intestine after a meal. These incretins enhance the physiological response to food, including satiety, insulin secretion, and nutrient disposal.

[0003] The most common side effects of GLP-1 analogs are the inability to achieve full glycemic control and weight loss, while GCG alone has very modest glucose-lowering ability in patients with type 2 diabetes. Native GLP-1 can be rapidly inactivated by the ubiquitous protease DPP IV and can therefore only be used for short-term metabolic control.

[0004] GCG, also known as glucagon, anti-insulin or insulin B, is a hormone secreted by the α cells of the pancreas of vertebrates along with insulin. It opposes insulin and plays a role in increasing blood sugar.

[0005] New studies have shown that GLP-1 / GCG receptor dual agonist compounds not only have better blood sugar control, but also have the effects of significantly reducing body weight and treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a GLP-1 / GCG receptor dual agonist compound with better activity. Summary of the invention

[0062] Example 2 Activity determination

[0063] 1. GLP-1 activity determination method

[0064] GLP-1R, under the stimulation of its specific agonist, can activate the intracellular adenylate cyclase pathway, increase the cAMP level, and ultimately lead to the production and release of insulin. By stimulating the cell line stably transfected with GLP-1R with the test substance, the intracellular cAMP level of the cell increases rapidly. The relative light unit (RLU) after each dose of cell stimulation is measured by chemiluminescence, and then the EC50 of the agonist is calculated. This activity determination method is currently a common GLP-1 receptor agonist activity detection method at home and abroad.

[0065] The CHO-K1 cell line stably expressing GLP-1R was used to stimulate the stably transfected cells with different concentrations of agonists. The EC of the agonist was calculated by measuring the relative light units after stimulation at each dose. 50 value.

[0066] 2. GCG activity determination method

[0067] GCG-R, under the stimulation of its specific agonist, can activate the intracellular adenylate cyclase pathway, increase the cAMP level, and ultimately lead to the production and release of insulin. By stimulating the cell line stably transfected with GCG-R with the test substance, the intracellular cAMP level of the cell increases rapidly. The relative light unit (RLU) after each dose of cell stimulation is measured by chemiluminescence method, and then the EC50 of the agonist is calculated.

[0073] The test animals were male cynomolgus monkeys. Two cynomolgus monkeys were used for each compound, and the dose was 0.2 mg / kg. Blood was collected from the vein before drug administration (0h) and 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 8h, 12h, 18h, 24h, 48h, 96h, 144h, and 168h after administration. The plasma samples were separated by centrifugation, and the blood drug concentrations of the corresponding compounds in the plasma samples were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The half-life of the compound after subcutaneous (SC) administration is shown in the table below: Compound <![CDATA[t 1 / 2 (h)]]> Compound 6 124.6 Compound 10 136.1
