Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and particularly relates to a melatonin receptor agonist, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof. Background Art
[0002] Melatonin, also known as N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, is an indoleamine neurohormone that exists ubiquitously in living organisms and is mainly secreted by the pineal gland in the human body. It regulates various important physiological functions such as circadian rhythm, sleep, endocrine, immunity, and anti-aging.
[0003] Melatonin is an endogenous agonist of two G protein-coupled receptors (MT1 and MT2), showing high affinity at nanomolar concentrations. Another binding site with lower affinity, MT3, has been identified as quinone reductase 2. MT1 and MT2 receptors produce biological effects through a series of cascade signal transduction actions such as regulating intracellular calcium levels, nitric oxide (NO) release, and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels, and simultaneously coupling the MEK / ERK signal transduction pathway [2]. In the central nervous system, the functional distinction between MT1 and MT2 receptors has only been partially elucidated. Activation of the MT1 receptor can inhibit the firing of neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and promote cardiovascular constriction; while activation of the MT2 receptor can regulate the circadian rhythm and dilate coronary artery blood vessels; the exact biological relationship between the MT3 binding site and melatonin remains unclear, but it has been proven to be involved in the acute inflammatory response in rats and the regulation of intraocular pressure in rabbits.
[0004] Although MT1 and MT2 in the human body are highly homologous, there are significant differences in their distribution and signal pathways in the human body. The physiological functions of MT1 and MT2 also show significant differences: MT1 mainly plays a regulatory role during the rapid eye movement (REM) phase of sleep, while MT2 is mainly responsible for increasing non-REM sleep. However, currently available melatonin drugs on the market lack selectivity between MT1 and MT2 and cannot achieve precise treatment of related diseases. MT1 receptor subtype mRNA expression exists in human peripheral blood granulocytes, while MT2 receptor subtype mRNA expression does not. Therefore, MT subtype-selective drugs contribute to the precise treatment of diseases, improve treatment targeting, reduce drug adverse reactions, and improve drug safety.
[0005] Neurodegenerative diseases (degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, neurodegenerative disease, ND) are a disease state in which neurons in the brain and spinal cord are lost. The brain and spinal cord are composed of neurons. Neurodegenerative diseases are caused by the loss of neurons or their myelin sheaths, and deteriorate over time, leading to dysfunction. Such diseases mainly include Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and neuronal degeneration caused by cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, etc.
[0006] Multiple studies have shown that compared with their peers, the melatonin level in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of Alzheimer's disease patients decreases. After Parkinson's syndrome patients are given levodopa (L-Dopa), the peak time of the nocturnal melatonin level is advanced, and at the same time, the melatonin level in the daytime serum increases. This finding suggests that the neuroprotective effect of melatonin may be closely related to the disease progression process. The occurrence of Huntington's Disease (HD) is most closely related to mitochondria. Melatonin can prevent lipid peroxidation in rat brain tissue and also prevent the death of nerve cells in the hippocampal region.
[0007] The pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases is complex, involving multiple pathological processes such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal damage. Currently, there is no effective treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, and the lesions are irreversible. Only the disease progression can be delayed through symptom relief or disease management. Moreover, the early symptoms of some neurodegenerative diseases are not obvious, which is likely to lead to missed treatment opportunities. Therefore, finding melatonin receptor agonists is of great significance for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Summary of the Invention

The test compound and the positive drug are respectively dissolved in 10 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 990 μL of HBSS buffer (the concentration of all samples is 1.00 mmol / L), and 100 μL / well is taken from each well in a 96-well transparent bottom plate coated with Matrigel. Prepare the samples to be tested: Prepare the samples to be tested at a concentration of 1.00 mmol / L, and place the test samples in another transparent bottom plate. The above two 96-well plates are simultaneously placed in a Flex Station3 bench-top multi-functional microplate reader. Read the absorbance value at room temperature using a Flexstation 3 bench-top multi-mode microplate reader, with the wavelength (excitation: 485 nm; emission: 525 nm; emission cut-off: 515 nm). The antagonistic activity expressed as X±SD (n = 3) is obtained by comparing with the highest antagonistic activity obtained with the highest concentration of melatonin, and it is set to 100%.
