Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology and relates to diphenylmethane derivatives, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Heart failure (HF) is considered the end-stage of various cardiovascular diseases, characterized by poor prognosis and high mortality. HF primarily occurs in elderly patients over 60 years of age, but can sometimes occur in younger patients who have survived acute myocardial infarction (MI). HF can be triggered by a variety of factors, including coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, diabetes, a family history of heart disease, obesity, chronic lung disease, or the use of cardiac toxins. Ischemic heart disease caused by impaired myocardial perfusion is considered the most common cause of HF. Despite advances in the combined use of several drugs (including RASi, beta-blockers, MRA, and SGLT2 inhibitors) to treat HF, no single drug can reduce mortality in HF.

[0003] Sodium-hydrogen exchanger 1 (NHE1) is encoded by the SLC9A1 gene and belongs to the mammalian Na+ / H+ exchanger (NHE) gene family of membrane transporters. The NHE family has been reported to contain at least nine isoforms, all functioning to exchange extracellular Na+ for intracellular H+. NHE1 is the only isoform present in cardiomyocytes and regulates sodium and calcium ion homeostasis. Animal studies have shown that NHE1 gene knockout has a cardioprotective effect during ischemia and reperfusion, with better recovery of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular systolic pressure (LVDP), and coronary blood flow. This makes NHE1 a promising target for cardioprotective activity.

[0004] Current clinical treatments for heart failure are effective, but overall, they are not satisfactory. Developing more anti-heart failure drugs and improving patient cure rates remain urgent scientific challenges. Summary of the Invention

[0167] Example 1

[0168] Synthesis of intermediate III in step A1

[0169] The structural formula of intermediate III is:

[0170]

[0171] At room temperature, 5-bromo-2-chlorobenzoic acid (0.5 g, 2.1 mmol) was placed in a 25 mL three-necked flask, and 5.0 mL of dichloromethane (DCM) was added and stirred until homogeneous. Then, 0.1 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was added, and thionyl chloride (0.31 mL, 4.3 mmol) was added dropwise under ice bath (0 °C). After the addition was complete, the temperature was raised to 40 °C and the mixture was refluxed. After a half-day test showed no remaining starting material, the reaction solution was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain a colorless liquid, which was directly added to the next reaction. The obtained acyl chloride was placed in a 25 mL three-necked flask, and 5.0 mL of nitrobenzene was added and stirred until homogeneous. Under ice bath (0 °C), aluminum trichloride (0.6 g, 4.3 mmol) and phenol (0.2 g, 2.1 mmol) were slowly added to the mixture, and the temperature was raised to 60 °C. The reaction was monitored by TLC. After the reaction was monitored to complete, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature. A small amount of crushed ice was slowly added to quench the reaction, followed by 10.0 mL of saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and stirring for 10 min. 2 mL of hydrochloric acid (10 M) was slowly added for acidification, and dichloromethane (10.0 mL × 3) was added to extract the reaction solution. The organic layers were combined, and the dichloromethane was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to obtain a yellow oil. 10 mL of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (2 M) was added to the yellow oil and stirred. The extraction was repeated three times with 10 mL of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (2 M). The aqueous layers were combined, and the pH was adjusted to approximately 2 by acidification with hydrochloric acid (10 M).

[0376] Cardioprotective activity experiments were conducted on the diphenylmethane derivatives prepared in the above examples:

[0377] I. In vitro cytotoxicity test

[0378] The effect of the diphenylmethane derivative of Formula I according to the present invention on the in vitro inhibition of the survival rate of normal rat cardiomyocyte cell line H9c2 was investigated.

[0379] 1. Cell Culture

[0380] Using DMEM medium as the basal culture medium, a cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum was prepared. The cells were cultured in a 37°C incubator containing 5% CO2. The culture medium was changed daily. When the cells reached 80%-90% confluence, the original culture medium was discarded, the cells were washed once with PBS, digested with 0.25% trypsin, and passaged according to experimental requirements.

[0381] 2. Drug preparation

[0382] The required volume of DMSO was calculated based on the compound's molecular weight and the mass weighed to prepare a stock solution of the same concentration (100 mM), which was then stored at 4°C.

[0383] 3. Experimental Procedure

[0384] (1) Cell seeding: Take cells in good growth condition during the logarithmic growth phase, digest the cells with 0.25% trypsin, then disperse them into a single cell suspension by pipetting with culture medium. After counting, seed them into a 96-well plate at an appropriate density (3000 cells / well), 100 μL / well, and incubate in a saturated humidity, 37℃, 5% CO2 incubator.

[0385] (2) Drug treatment: After 24 hours of cell culture, four different concentration gradients of drug were added according to experimental needs, 100 μL per well, with three replicates per group and a blank group per plate. In this experiment, the test drug was diluted to the corresponding concentration gradients of 100 μM, 30 μM, 10 μM, and 3 μM and added for 48 hours. After drug addition, the cells were cultured in a 5% CO2, 37℃ constant temperature cell culture incubator for the corresponding time, and the cell state was observed under an inverted microscope.

[0386] (3) Color development and colorimetric analysis: After the drug reaches the action time point, discard the drug, add 100 μL of CCK8 solution to each well, and continue incubation for 1 h; place the 96-well plate in a microplate reader, detect the absorbance (OD) value of each well at a wavelength of 450 nm and compare it with the blank group.

[0387] (4) Data analysis: Calculate the cell proliferation rate and inhibition rate of each group.

[0388] Cell viability % = (Average OD value of test group / OD value of blank group) × 100%

[0389] Inhibition rate = (1 - average OD value of test group / OD value of blank group) × 100%

[0390] Calculate the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the drug. 50 IC50 was calculated using GraphPad Prism statistical analysis software based on the drug's effective concentration and its growth inhibition rate on cells. 50 value.

[0391] The results of the compounds inhibiting the activity of the normal rat cardiomyocyte cell line H9c2 are shown in the table below.

[0392] Table 1. Inhibitory activity of compounds in rat normal cardiomyocyte H9c2 cells.

[0393]

[0394] Using an IC50 value of 10 μM as the cutoff, it can be concluded that most of the compounds have low toxicity to the normal rat cardiomyocyte cell line H9c2.

[0395] II. In vitro enzyme inhibitory activity

[0396] Cultured cardiomyocytes were seeded at 10,000 cells / well in 96-well plates and incubated for 24 hours. The next day, the culture medium was removed, and the cells were washed several times with Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS, SH30268.01, Hyclone). Subsequently, HBSS containing 5 mmol / L BCECF-AM, 20 mmol / L NH4Cl, and the test compound were added to the cells, and the cells were incubated in the dark at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 30 minutes. At the end of the culture, the buffer was removed, and the cells were washed twice with HBSS for 5 minutes each time, with 100 μL of HBSS added to each well to prevent cell drying. Fluorescence of BCECF-AM (excitation, 488 nm; emission, 535 nm) was detected using a microplate reader (BioTek). All doses were set in triplicate, and IC50 was calculated using a GraphPad Prism 9 for nonlinear fitting. 50 The values ​​are shown in the table below.

[0400] The compound's effect on the IC50 of NHE1 testing 50 The values ​​were all significantly lower than those of the positive control and compounds 32 and 33 (compounds 32 and 33 are currently known compounds), especially compound 23, whose IC50 value for NHE1 was significantly lower. 50 With a value below 1 μM, it exhibits good targeting activity.

[0401] III. Cell Protection Assay

[0402] The protective effect of compound 23 was evaluated in a glucose-deficiency-induced H9c2 cell injury model. Cultured cardiomyocytes were digested with trypsin and reseeded in 96-well plates at a density of 3000 cells per well. Compounds (0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30, and 100 μmol / L) were added to the cells and incubated for 48 h. After removing the culture medium, the cells were washed once with PBS, and then DMEM medium without glucose was added to induce cell injury for 24 h. Cardiomyocyte viability was measured at 450 nm using a CCK-8 assay. All doses were used in triplicate. Nonlinear fitting was performed using GraphPad Prism 9, and the results are shown below. Figure 1 And as shown in the table below, where Figure 1 A represents the effect of compound 23 on the survival rate of normal rat cardiomyocytes; Figure 1 B represents the effect of compound 23 on the protective effect of glucose-deficiency-induced cells; Figure 1 C represents the effect of cariporide on the protective effect of glucose-deficiency-induced cells; Figure 1 D represents the effect of empagliflozin on the protective effect of glucose-deficiency-induced cells.

[0404]

[0405] NA: Not detected

[0406] The results showed that all compounds could increase glucose-deficiency-induced cell viability.

[0407] In particular, compound 23 can increase glucose deficiency-induced cell viability at a low concentration (1 μM), indicating that compound 23, as an NHE1 inhibitor, can protect cardiomyocytes from glucose deficiency-induced damage at a low concentration.

[0408] IV. Surface Plasmon Resonance Analysis (SPR)

[0409] The in vitro binding affinity between NHE1 and compound 23 was assessed using a Biacore 1K surface plasmon resonance (SPR, USA). Briefly, NHE1 protein was diluted with sodium acetate buffer (50 μg / mL in 10 mM pH 4.5 sodium acetate) and infused into the CM5 biosensor chip at a rate of 10 μL / min for 7 min. Uncoupled protein was washed with ethanolamine hydrochloride. The compound was serially diluted with buffer (1×PBS-P) containing 5% DMSO, with the protein-to-small-molecule contact and dissociation time set at 90 seconds and a flow rate of 30 μL / min. Finally, the data were analyzed using Biacore assessment software, and a 1:1 binding model was used for curve fitting. The results are shown below. Figure 2 As shown in the figure. SPR experiments showed that the compounds could effectively bind to the NHE1 protein. Only data for compound 23 are shown in the figure; similar results were observed for other compounds.

[0410] V. In vivo pharmacodynamic experiments

[0411] Male C57BL / 6J mice were purchased from Hunan SJA Laboratory Animal Co., Ltd. Animals were housed under specific pathogen-free conditions with a 12-hour light-dark cycle, a temperature of 25°C, and a humidity of 55%, with free access to water and food. All experimental procedures were approved by the Laboratory Animal Welfare and Ethics Committee and the Animal Management Committee of Central South University (IRB Approval No.: CSU-2024-0304). For pressure overload induced HF using isoproterenol infusion, mice (8 weeks old) were divided into 6 groups (n=6), including a sham-operated group (1) control group, (2) model group, (3) ISO + Cariporide (10 mg / kg, once daily), (4) ISO + EMPA (30 mg / kg, once daily), (5) ISO + high-dose compound 23 (30 mg / kg, once daily), and (6) ISO + low-dose compound 23 (10 mg / kg, once daily). The compounds were administered by gavage. Except for the control group, mice were subcutaneously injected with isoproterenol twice daily for two weeks at the following doses: 40 mg / kg on days 1-2, 20 mg / kg on days 3-7, and 10 mg / kg on days 8-14. Mice in the sham-operated group were subcutaneously injected with saline. After the experiment, in vivo cardiac ultrasound was performed under mild anesthesia using a Vevo 2000 high-resolution imaging system (SonicsVisual) via transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to assess cardiac function. The heart was imaged in a two-dimensional parasternal short-axis view, and M-mode echocardiography of the mid-ventricle was recorded at the papillary muscle level. Diastolic and systolic left ventricular diameters were measured. Fractional shortening and ejection fraction were calculated. Figure 3 As shown. Among them Figure 3 A represents the effect of compound 23 on the left ventricular ejection fraction in an isoproterenol-induced heart failure model. Figure 3 B represents the left ventricular shortening fraction.

[0412] The results showed that compound 23 significantly inhibited pressure overload-induced heart failure (HF) induced by isoproterenol infusion after 14 days of administration. It effectively reduced the severity of HF induced by isoproterenol in C57BL / 6J mice, increased left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular shortening fraction, and showed no significant change in body weight compared to the control group. Furthermore, no animals died during the experiment, demonstrating that compound 23 has no significant toxicity. This fully demonstrates that compound 23 is an effective inhibitor of NHE1.
