Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the pharmaceutical field, specifically to an anti-inflammatory macromolecular JAK inhibitor that inhibits the expression of pro-inflammatory factors and the JAK pathway, its preparation method, and its application in the prevention and treatment of various acute and chronic inflammatory diseases or diseases related to the JAK signaling pathway. Background Technology
[0002] Inflammation is the body's immune response to various harmful stimuli, such as invading pathogens, damaged cells, and tissue damage. Controlled inflammatory responses benefit the host by defending against infection, promoting tissue repair, and restoring homeostasis. However, uncontrollable acute inflammation and persistent chronic inflammation are inextricably linked to the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as cytokine storms, acute pneumonia, sepsis, acute kidney injury, atherosclerosis, asthma, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, anti-inflammatory treatment is crucial for inflammation-related diseases. Currently available anti-inflammatory drugs include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and biologics. However, clinical studies have shown that most existing anti-inflammatory drugs have serious toxic side effects. For example, glucocorticoids and NSAIDs can cause gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation, acute liver / kidney injury, cardiovascular complications, osteoporosis, diabetes, and avascular necrosis of joints. Biologics may trigger cytokine storms, infections, and malignancies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop next-generation anti-inflammatory drugs to effectively and safely regulate pathological inflammation.
[0003] JAK is a non-receptor tyrosine protein kinase that receives signals from cytokines and transmits them through the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, making it a popular target for inflammation-related diseases. Currently, several JAK inhibitors have been approved for marketing in China, covering indications for various inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and atopic dermatitis. Studies have reported that JAK inhibitors can block the signal transduction of multiple inflammatory factors, effectively inhibiting the occurrence and development of inflammation. Existing JAK inhibitors are mainly in tablet form, such as tofacitinib citrate tablets. However, due to their long treatment duration, patient compliance is poor and side effects are significant. Therefore, the development of novel JAK inhibitors for the treatment of inflammatory diseases is of great significance.
[0004] In recent years, with the rapid development of nanotechnology and materials science, researchers have begun to explore the development of drug-free anti-inflammatory macromolecular materials to treat inflammatory diseases or modulate the inflammatory microenvironment to prevent and treat inflammation-related diseases. For example, natural polysaccharides and their derivatives have shown anti-inflammatory effects in different animal models, but the anti-inflammatory effects of these natural anti-inflammatory materials are limited. By utilizing bioactive molecules for chemical modification, their anti-inflammatory effects can be effectively enhanced, exhibiting strong anti-inflammatory effects. Synthetic glycoproteins and glycopolymers have also been reported to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by neutrophils and macrophages. In addition, considering the pro-inflammatory effects of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during inflammation, materials based on the regulation of the inflammatory ROS microenvironment have also been developed for the treatment of various acute / chronic inflammatory diseases, such as polymers based on Tempol, pinacol phenylborate, and bilirubin-polymer conjugates. These materials have also shown good therapeutic effects in animal models of acute kidney / liver injury, acute / chronic heart disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, colitis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, asthma, atherosclerosis, and inflammatory bone disease. Although these macromolecular therapies have demonstrated promising anti-inflammatory effects in animal studies, their clinical translation remains severely limited. This is due to the complex chemical structures of these materials, the difficulty in precisely modifying their structures, and the challenges of quality control, high synthesis costs, and low reproducibility. Furthermore, the in vivo metabolic behavior and safety profile of these materials remain to be addressed. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel anti-inflammatory macromolecular JAK inhibitors with well-defined chemical structures, flexible functional regulation, predictable hydrolysis / metabolic characteristics, high anti-inflammatory activity, and excellent safety profiles. Summary of the Invention

The generated salt can be further removed by vacuum filtration, the reaction solution can be concentrated by rotary evaporation, or the product can be obtained by direct dialysis and lyophilization, i.e., an amphiphilic polymer in which a hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene or cyanuric chloride backbone is simultaneously coupled with polyethylene glycol and luminol.
[0011] In the above method, the halogenated cyclotriphosphazene is selected from hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene or hexafluorocyclotriphosphazene, and the halogenated 1,3,5-triazine is selected from cyanuric chloride or 2,4,6-tribromo-1,3,5-triazine.
[0012] In the above method, the polyethylene glycol with terminal amino groups has an average molecular weight between 200 Da and 5000 Da.
[0013] In the above method, the acid-binding agent is selected from one or a combination of two of triethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, sodium carbonate, and pyridine.
[0014] In the above method, the organic solvent is selected from one or more of dichloromethane, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and 1,4-dioxane.

[0076] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The results showed that the anti-inflammatory macromolecular JAK inhibitor synthesized in Example 6 was an anti-inflammatory macromolecular JAK inhibitor consisting of one cyanuric chloride backbone coupled with one polyethylene glycol and two 3-amino-phthalamide hydrazides. Figure 11 The results showed that the obtained anti-inflammatory macromolecular JAK inhibitor formed uniform nanomicelle solutions in water through self-assembly.
