Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a compound with synergistic analgesic effects, its pharmaceutical composition, preparation method, and uses, and more particularly to a small molecule twin compound with synergistic analgesic effects, its pharmaceutical composition, preparation method, and uses. Background Technology

[0002] Pain severely impacts patients' quality of life, making its active and effective treatment crucial. Nefopam is a novel non-opioid, non-steroidal analgesic, unique both chemically and pharmacologically, and unrelated to any currently known analgesics. The exact mechanism of nefopam's analgesic action remains unclear, but current research suggests it primarily acts on pain transmission pathways in the central nervous system. Most researchers believe nefopam, similar to triple receptor (serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine) reuptake inhibitors and anticonvulsants, exerts its analgesic effect by inhibiting synaptic uptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, increasing the inhibitory activity of serotonergic and norepinephrine-depressant pathways, and by modulating calcium and sodium ion channels on the glutamate pathway, thereby reducing the activation of postsynaptic glutamate receptors, such as NMDA receptors.

[0003] Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most important and abundant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human central nervous system. It plays a crucial role in central hyperexcitability associated with nerve injury, acting on inhibitory synapses in the brain by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the presynaptic and postsynaptic plasma membranes. Increased GABA concentrations in the spinal cord have been reported to induce analgesia, while decreased GABA concentrations lead to neuropathic pain. Studies have shown that exogenous GABA can attenuate the response of pain-excited neurons in the nucleus accumbens of normal rats to noxious stimuli, exhibiting GABA receptor-mediated analgesia, suggesting that GABA receptors, along with other neurotransmitters, participate in regulating the activity of the nucleus accumbens. Furthermore, in a paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain model, GABA administration reversed the excitability of rats with neuropathic pain in electrophysiological recordings. These results indicate that GABA plays an important role in the regulation of pain responses.

[0004] Gabapentin, pregabalin, melogabalin, and clegabalin belong to the class of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogues. Originally used as anticonvulsants, they are now first-line drugs for treating neuropathic pain. Gabapentin, pregabalin, melogabalin, and clegabalin work by acting on presynaptic voltage-gated Ca2+. 2+ The α2δ1 subunit of the channel reduces Ca 2+These drugs induce influx, thereby inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters (such as glutamate and norepinephrine) and reducing neuronal excitability. However, only a portion of patients experience pain relief after treatment with these drugs. In addition, gabapentin, pregabalin, merogalaline, and cligabalin have a range of side effects, such as shortness of breath and ataxia. Studies have shown that combination therapy can reduce the toxic side effects and improve efficacy of these drugs.

[0063] Step 1: Synthesis of 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5-methyl-1-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[f][1,4]oxazine-5-bromoonium (1A)

[0064] In a 100 mL round-bottom flask, 10 mL of acetonitrile and nefopam (5.0 g, 20 mmol, 1.0 eq) were added. 2-bromoethanol (5.0 g, 40 mmol, 2.0 eq) was added with stirring. The mixture was stirred at 70 °C and monitored by TLC. After 2 hours, the nefopam reaction was complete. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and excess solvent was removed using a rotary evaporator. 60 mL of ethyl acetate was added, and the mixture was stirred and stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was filtered and dried to obtain 6.5 g of a pale yellow solid, yielding 1A, with a yield of 85.5%. (+)-ESI-MS: m / z 298.1812 (calcd.298.1802 for C 19 H 24 NO2 + [M-Br] + ).

[0112] Example 7: Evaluation of the analgesic effect of nefopam in a carrageenan-induced inflammatory pain model

[0113] Carrageenan-induced inflammatory pain is a widely used animal model for assessing acute inflammatory pain. λ-carrageenan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from red algae, induces local inflammatory responses in animals, such as tissue swelling, congestion, and hyperalgesia. In mice, inflammatory pain induced by a paw injection of 20 μL of 1% carrageenan solution peaked at 3 hours and subsided within 24–72 hours. After modeling, the mechanical withdrawal threshold in mice was significantly lower than baseline, indicating successful induction of inflammatory pain. As shown in the figure, nefopam (1, 3, 5, 10 mg / kg) dose-dependently reduced carrageenan-induced inflammatory pain [F(35, 210) = 21.56, p < 0.0001, ] Figure 5 A; F(4,25)=31.11, p<0.0001, Figure 5 [B] The analgesic and inhibitory rates of nefopam at doses of 1, 3, 5, and 10 mg / kg in inflammatory pain were 36.27%, 59.18%, 77.00%, and 93.15%, respectively, with an ED50 of 50%. 50 The concentration was 1.80 ± 0.59 mg / kg.

[0114] Example 8: Evaluation of the analgesic effect of nefopam in an iodoacetic acid-induced osteoarthritis pain model

[0115] Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease clinically characterized by progressive joint pain. There is an urgent need to explore new and effective treatments for osteoarthritis pain. Iodoacetic acid induces osteoarthritis in mice by digesting cartilage, proliferating inflammatory cells, and destroying cartilage. After injecting 20 μL of 1% iodoacetic acid into the knee joint of mice for 24 hours, the mechanical withdrawal threshold was significantly reduced, indicating a successful establishment of an osteoarthritis pain model. Nefopam (3, 10, 30, 60 mg / kg) showed significant dose-dependent analgesic effects in the osteoarthritis pain model [F(35, 210) = 51.16, p < 0.0001, ] Figure 6 The result was AUC[F(4, 25) = 82.32, p < 0.0001, A]. Figure 6 [B] In iodoacetic acid-induced osteoarthritis pain, the analgesic inhibition rates of nefopam at four doses (3, 10, 30, and 60 mg / kg) were 16.00%, 30.02%, 45.99%, and 57.27%, respectively, with an ED50% (half-maximal effective dose). 50 The value was 38.11 ± 2.08 mg / kg. Figure 6 ).

[0116] Example 9: Evaluation of the analgesic effect of nefopam in a paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain model

[0117] Paclitaxel can induce a peripheral neuropathic pain state characterized by atopic pain and hyperalgesia induced by harmful or harmless stimuli. On day 6, compared with baseline, the mechanical withdrawal threshold of mice in the model group was significantly reduced, indicating that paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain in mice was successfully established. Nefopam (1, 3, 5, 10 mg / kg) reversed paclitaxel-induced mechanical atopic pain in a dose-dependent manner, with analgesic efficacy reaching its peak at 90 minutes after administration [F(35, 210) = 22.60, p < 0.0001, Figure 7 A; F(4,25)=28.55, p<0.0001, Figure 7 B]. The efficacy of nefopam was determined by dose-response curves. 50 The values ​​were 2.40 ± 0.57 mg / kg, and the analgesic inhibition rates were 35.92%, 49.89%, 63.11%, and 81.02%, respectively. Figure 7 ).

[0118] Example 10: Evaluation of the analgesic effect of pregabalin / gabapentin in a carrageenan-induced inflammatory pain model

[0119] λ-Carrageenan is a chemical substance that stimulates inflammation by releasing pro-inflammatory factors, including prostaglandins, leukotrienes, histamine, serotonin, bradykinin, and TNF-α. In mice, a paw injection of 20 μL of 1% carrageenan solution induced a local inflammatory response (peaking at 3 hours and subsiding within 24–72 hours), such as tissue swelling, hyperemia, and hyperalgesia. Three hours after carrageenan injection, the mechanical withdrawal threshold in mice was significantly lower than baseline, indicating successful induction of inflammatory pain. As shown in the figure, pregabalin (3, 6, 12, 24 mg / kg) and gabapentin (25, 50, 75, 100 mg / kg) both reduced carrageenan-induced inflammatory pain in a dose-dependent manner [F(35, 210) = 59.22, p < 0.0001]. Figure 8 A; F(4,25)=158.70, p<0.0001, Figure 8 B; F(35,210)=27.88, p<0.0001, Figure 8 C; F(4,25)=57.77, p<0.0001, Figure 8 [D]. The analgesic and inhibitory rates of pregabalin at doses of 3, 6, 12, and 24 mg / kg in inflammatory pain were 29.26%, 46.86%, 64.06%, and 80.48%, respectively, with an ED50 of 60%. 50 The analgesic and inhibitory rates of gabapentin at doses of 6.80 ± 1.01 mg / kg were 16.15%, 47.20%, 67.86%, and 80.76% in inflammatory pain, respectively, with a median effective dose (ED50) of 6.80 ± 1.01 mg / kg. 50 The concentration was 52.80 ± 1.10 mg / kg. Figure 8 ).

[0120] Example 11: Evaluation of the analgesic effect of pregabalin / gabapentin in an iodoacetic acid-induced osteoarthritis pain model

[0121] Joint pain is a major clinical feature of osteoarthritis, primarily caused by synovial neuroinflammation and subchondral nerve damage. With the occurrence of joint injury, pain develops and gradually leads to loss of joint mobility in osteoarthritis patients. Iodoacetic acid-induced osteoarthritis models have become one of the most popular models for studying the pain process and intervention effects in osteoarthritis, allowing for the assessment of not only the analgesic effects of drugs but also their anti-inflammatory effects. In mice, a significant reduction in the mechanical withdrawal threshold was observed 24 hours after injection of 20 μL of 1% iodoacetic acid into the knee joint, indicating successful establishment of the osteoarthritis pain model. Pregabalin (6, 12, 24, 48 mg / kg) and gabapentin (25, 50, 75, 100 mg / kg) showed significant dose-dependent analgesic effects in the osteoarthritis pain model [F(35, 210) = 65.30, p < 0.0001, ] Figure 9 A; F(35,210)=82.29, p<0.0001, Figure 9 C], the result is AUC[F(4,25)=80.38, p<0.0001, Figure 9 B; F(4,25)=239.90, p<0.0001, Figure 9 [D]. In iodoacetic acid-induced osteoarthritis pain: the analgesic inhibition rates of pregabalin at four doses from low to high (6, 12, 24, and 48 mg / kg) were 23.07%, 32.34%, 44.38%, and 60.36%, respectively, with an ED50% (half-maximal effective dose). 50 The analgesic inhibition rate of gabapentin at four doses (25, 50, 75, and 100 mg / kg) was 23.00%, 45.77%, 61.14%, and 70.00%, respectively, with an ED50% of 14.90 ± 1.09 mg / kg. 50 The concentration was 56.00 ± 30.20 mg / kg. Figure 9 ).

[0122] Example 12: Evaluation of the analgesic effect of pregabalin / gabapentin in a paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain model

[0123] Some evidence suggests that hyperexcitability of dorsal root ganglia and spinal dorsal horn neurons may lead to the development of thermal and mechanosensitive hypersensitivity in animal models of neuropathic pain induced by chemotherapy drugs such as paclitaxel, vincristine, and cisplatin. On day 6, the mechanosensitive withdrawal threshold was significantly reduced in the model group mice compared to baseline, indicating successful establishment of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain in mice. Pregabalin (3, 6, 12, 24 mg / kg) dose-dependently reversed paclitaxel-induced mechanosensitive pain, and the analgesic efficacy peaked at 90 minutes post-administration [F(35, 210) = 28.31, p < 0.0001]. Figure 10 A; F(4,25)=114.00, p<0.0001, Figure 10 B]. Gabapentin (25, 50, 75, 100 mg / kg) also reversed mechanical atopic pain in a dose-dependent manner, with peak analgesic efficacy at 120 minutes post-administration [F(35, 210) = 29.15, p < 0.0001, Figure 10 C; F(4,25)=70.95, p<0.0001, Figure 10 D]. The median effective dose (ED) of pregabalin and gabapentin was obtained through dose-response curves. 50The values ​​were 7.50±2.23 mg / kg and 45.60±0.20 mg / kg, respectively. The analgesic inhibition rates of the four doses were 22.30%, 42.44%, 65.78%, 82.45% and 27.32%, 53.60%, 69.30%, 78.47%, respectively. Figure 10 ).

[0124] Example 13: Evaluation of the analgesic effects of compounds 3 and 4 in a carrageenan-induced inflammatory pain model

[0125] Three hours after injection of carrageenan into the plantar surface of mice, the mechanical withdrawal threshold was significantly lower than baseline, indicating successful induction of inflammatory pain. Administration of compounds 3 and 4 significantly increased the mechanical withdrawal threshold in mice [F(24, 150) = 86.65, p < 0.0001]. Figure 11 A; F(3,20)=100.20, p<0.0001, Figure 11 C]. Both conjugated drugs produced dose-dependent analgesic effects in mice [F(24, 150) = 84.46, p < 0.0001, Figure 11 B; F(3,20)=188.20, p<0.0001, Figure 11 [D]. The analgesic and inhibitory rates of compounds 3 and 4 were 79.16%, 70.46%, and 57.31%, and 93.51%, 69.84%, and 43.09%, respectively, with an ED50 of 100%. 50 The median effective doses (EDS) for compounds 3 and 4 in the inflammatory pain model were 0.52 ± 0.29 mg / kg and 5.95 ± 0.83 mg / kg, respectively. 50 Lower than the ED of nefopam and pregabalin / gabapentin combination 50 (The synergistic anti-nociceptive effects of nefopam and gabapentinoids in inflammatory, osteoarthritis, and neuropathic pain mouse models.

[0126] Example 14: Evaluation of the analgesic effects of compounds 3 and 4 in an iodoacetic acid-induced osteoarthritis pain model

[0127] After administration of compounds 3 and 4, the mechanical withdrawal threshold in mice was significantly increased [F(24, 150) = 84.40, p < 0.0001, Figure 12 A; F(24,150)=38.38, p<0.0001, Figure 12 C]. Both conjugated drugs produced significant, dose-dependent analgesic effects in mice [F(3,20)=85.38, p<0.0001, Figure 12 B; F(3,20)=122.00, p<0.0001, Figure 12 [D]. The analgesic inhibition rates of compound 3 at doses of 1, 5, and 10 mg / kg were 32.50%, 52.82%, and 68.96%, respectively, while those of compound 4 at doses of 1, 5, and 10 mg / kg were 16.42%, 49.07%, and 67.57%, respectively. The median effective dose (ED) of compounds 3 and 4 was [not specified]. 50 The values ​​were 3.41±1.16 and 5.03±0.26 mg / kg, respectively.

[0128] Both conjugate compounds 3 and 4 exhibited improved analgesic activity in a mouse model of osteoarthritis pain, with the half-maximal effective dose (ED50) of the conjugates significantly lower than that of the combined administration. 50 Significantly reduced (The synergistic anti-nociceptive effects of nefopam and gabapentinoids in inflammatory, osteoarthritis, and neuropathic pain mouse models. European Journal of Pharmacology 977(2024)176738. Compound 3 (10.80±1.19 mg / kg) decreased by 3.17-fold; Compound 4 (24.92±6.93 mg / kg) decreased by 4.95-fold. The half-maximal effective dose (ED50) of nefopam monotherapy in this model was significantly reduced. 50 The concentration was 38.11 mg / kg. The synthesis of the conjugate drug compensated for the insufficient efficacy of nefopam monotherapy in treating osteoarthritis pain.

[0129] Example 15: Evaluation of the analgesic effects of compounds 3 and 4 in a paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain model

[0130] After successful establishment of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain in mice, the mechanical withdrawal threshold of the model group mice was significantly reduced. Compounds 3 and 4, administered at doses of 1, 5, and 10 mg / kg, respectively, significantly improved paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain, with analgesic efficacy showing a dose-dependent effect [F(24, 150) = 84.40, p < 0.0001]. Figure 13 A; F(3,20)=60.51, p<0.0001, Figure 13 B; F(24,150)=36.79, p<0.0001, Figure 13 C; F(3,20)=80.61, p<0.0001, Figure 13 [D]. The analgesic inhibition rates of compound 3 at doses of 1, 5, and 10 mg / kg were 46.44%, 64.07%, and 71.34%, respectively, with an ED50% (half-maximal effective dose). 50 The concentration was 1.38 ± 0.05 mg / kg. The analgesic inhibition rates of compound 4 at doses of 1, 5, and 10 mg / kg were 25.41%, 48.80%, and 70.49%, respectively, with an ED50 of 1.38 ± 0.05 mg / kg. 50 The effective dose was 5.28 ± 0.15 mg / kg. The conjugates 3 and 4 demonstrated improved analgesic efficacy in a neuropathic pain model, with an ED50% (half-maximal effective dose) of 5.28 ± 0.15 mg / kg. 50 The ED is much lower than that of combined administration. 50 (The synergistic anti-nociceptive effects of nefopam and gabapentinoidsin inflammatory, osteoarthritis, and neuropathic pain in mouse models.

[0134] Acute toxicity tests are used to determine the median lethal acute LD50 shortly after administration. 50 And the adverse reactions caused. Mice were observed for 7 days after gavage administration of conjugate compound 3 (2000 mg / kg), compound 4 (2000 mg / kg) or physiological saline. After 7 days, no mice in the treated group or the blank group died, and no obvious adverse reactions were observed.

[0135] In summary, conjugates of nefopam and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogs are highly effective and low in toxicity, providing a new approach for clinical analgesia. Compared to traditional compound preparations and combination therapies, conjugates can effectively reduce drug interactions, eliminate the need to consider dosage ratios, are more convenient to take, increase patient compliance, and improve patients' quality of life.
