[0075] I. Definitions

[0076] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Also, relevant terms and laboratory procedures used herein are terms and conventional procedures widely used in the corresponding fields. Meanwhile, to better understand the present invention, definitions and explanations of relevant terms are provided below.

[0077] As used herein and unless otherwise stated, the term "about" or "approximately" means within plus or minus 10% of a given value or range. In cases where an integer is required, the term means within plus or minus 10% of a given value or range, rounded up or down to the nearest integer.

[0078] In the description herein, reference to "some embodiments", "some embodiments" or "some implementation manners" describes a subset of all possible embodiments. However, it can be understood that "some embodiments" can be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0079] As used herein and unless otherwise stated, the terms "comprising", "including", "having", "containing", including their grammatical equivalents, should generally be understood as open-ended and non-restrictive, e.g., not excluding other unlisted elements or steps.

[0080] The compounds described in the present application can be asymmetric, for example, having one or more stereoisomers. Unless otherwise stated, all stereoisomers are included, such as enantiomers and diastereomers. The stereoisomers include geometric isomers (such as cis, trans structures) and optical isomers (such as enantiomers), and the therapeutics are composed of monomers, racemates, racemic mixtures and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Compounds containing asymmetric carbon atoms in the present application can be isolated in optically pure form or in racemic form. The optically pure form can be resolved from the racemic mixture or synthesized by using chiral starting materials or chiral reagents. Racemates, diastereomers and enantiomers are all included within the scope of the present application.

[0081] The small molecule drugs used in the present application also include tautomeric forms. Tautomeric forms result from the exchange of a single bond with an adjacent double bond along with the migration of a proton.

[0082] The numerical ranges herein refer to each integer within the given range. For example, "C 1-3 " means that the group can have 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms or 3 carbon atoms; "C 3-6 " means that the group can have 3 carbon atoms, 4 carbon atoms, 5 carbon atoms or 6 carbon atoms.

[0083] When any variable (such as Rn ) When it appears more than once in the composition or structure of a compound, its definition in each case is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted by 1 - 5 Rs, the group may optionally be substituted by up to 5 Rs, and each R in each case has independent options. In addition, combinations of substituents and / or their variants are only permitted if such combinations result in stable compounds.

[0084] As used herein, the term “halogen” refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.

[0085] As used herein, the term “alkyl” refers to saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, which are straight - chain or branched - chain groups containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably alkyl groups containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Non - limiting examples include methyl, ethyl, n - propyl, and isopropyl.

[0086] As used herein, the term “heterocyclic group” or “heterocycloalkyl” refers to saturated or partially unsaturated monocyclic or polycyclic cyclic hydrocarbon substituents containing 3 to 20 ring atoms, wherein one or more ring atoms are heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or S(O) m (where m is an integer from 0 to 2), but does not include ring moieties of - O - O -, - O - S -, or - S - S -, and the remaining ring atoms are carbon.

[0087] As used herein, the term “substituted” means that one or more hydrogen atoms in a group, preferably up to 5, more preferably 1 - 3 hydrogen atoms, are independently replaced by a corresponding number of substituents. It goes without saying that substituents are only in their possible chemical positions, and those skilled in the art can determine (by experiment or theory) what substitutions are possible or impossible without undue effort. For example, an amino or hydroxyl group with a free hydrogen may be unstable when bonded to a carbon atom with an unsaturated (such as olefinic) bond.

[0088] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to salts formed by corresponding amine compounds and inorganic acids or organic acids, or salts formed by corresponding carboxylic acid compounds and alkali metals or alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Among them, inorganic acids include but are not limited to hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc.; organic acids include but are not limited to acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, benzoic acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p - toluenesulfonic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, gluconic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, etc.; alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts include but are not limited to sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium salts, etc.; organic amine salts include but are not limited to salts composed of ammonia, methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, isopropylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, tert - butylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, morpholine, piperidine, piperazine, amino acids, etc.

[0089] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutical composition" means a composition comprising a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable ingredient selected from the group consisting of, but not limited to: carriers, diluents, adjuvants, excipients, preservatives, fillers, disintegrants, wetting agents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, fragrances, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents, lubricants, dispersants, thermosensitive materials, temperature regulators, adhesives, stabilizers, suspending aids, etc., depending on the mode of administration and the nature of the dosage form.

[0090] The drugs or pharmaceutical compositions of the present application can be administered orally, topically, parenterally or mucosally (e.g., sublingually, by inhalation or rectally) in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The oral route is generally preferred. The active agent can be administered orally in the form of capsules, tablets, etc. (see Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition).

[0091] For oral administration in the form of tablets or capsules, the active pharmaceutical ingredient can be combined with non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binders (e.g., pregelatinized corn starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose); fillers (e.g., lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, sorbitol and other reducing and non-reducing sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium sulfate or calcium hydrogen phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc or silica, stearic acid, sodium stearyl fumarate, behenin, calcium stearate, etc.); disintegrants (e.g., potato starch or sodium starch glycolate); or wetting agents (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate), coloring agents and flavoring agents, gelatin, sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums (such as gum arabic, tragacanth or alginates), buffer salts, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, etc. For oral administration in liquid form, the pharmaceutical ingredient can be combined with non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable inert carriers (e.g., ethanol, glycerol, water), anti-settling agents (e.g., sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or hydrogenated edible fats), emulsifiers (e.g., lecithin or gum arabic), non-aqueous carriers (e.g., almond oil, esters of fatty acids, ethanol or fractionated vegetable oils), preservatives (e.g., methyl p-hydroxybenzoate or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid), etc. Stabilizers such as antioxidants (BHA, BHT, propyl gallate, sodium ascorbate, citric acid) can also be added to stabilize the dosage form.

[0092] Tablets containing the active compound can be coated by methods well known in the art. The compositions of the present application containing the compound of formula I as the active compound can also be incorporated into beads, microspheres or microcapsules, for example, constructed from polyglycolic acid / lactic acid (PGLA). Liquid formulations for oral administration can take the form of, for example, solutions, syrups, emulsions or suspensions or they can be presented as dry products to be reconstituted with water or other suitable excipients before use. Formulations for oral administration can be suitably formulated to provide controlled or delayed release of the active compound.

[0093] The term "patient" refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, more preferably a human.

[0094] The term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to a sufficient amount of a drug or agent that is non-toxic but capable of achieving the desired effect. In embodiments of the present invention, when treating a patient according to the present invention, the amount of a given drug depends on many factors, such as the specific dosing regimen, the type and severity of the disease or disorder, the uniqueness of the subject or host to be treated (e.g., body weight), however, depending on the specific circumstances, including for example the specific drug employed, the route of administration, the disorder being treated, and the subject or host being treated, the dosage can be routinely determined by methods known in the art. Generally, for adult therapeutic use, the dosage typically ranges from 0.02 - 5000 mg / day, for example about 1 - 1500 mg / day. The required dosage can conveniently be presented as a single dose, or as simultaneous doses (or within a short period of time) or as divided doses at appropriate intervals, for example two, three, four or more divided doses per day. Those skilled in the art will understand that, although the above dosage ranges are given, the specific effective amount can be appropriately adjusted according to the circumstances of the patient in combination with the physician's diagnosis.

[0095] As used in this application, the term "treatment" includes inhibiting, alleviating, preventing or eliminating one or more symptoms or side effects associated with the disease, disorder or condition being treated.

[0096] The use of the term "inhibit" as used in this application is relative to a control. Those skilled in the art will readily determine the appropriate control for each experiment. For example, the reduced response in a subject or cell treated with a compound is compared with the response in a subject or cell not treated with the compound.

The next day, the compound was diluted with the medium to 10000 nM, 2000 nM, 400 nM, 80 nM, 16 nM, 3.2 nM, 0.64 nM, 0.13 nM, and 2 μL of the diluted compound was added to the 96-well cell culture plate at each concentration, with 3 replicates for each concentration. 2 μL of the diluent was added to the negative control wells without the compound and the blank control wells. Dxd was detected at the same concentration as the positive control for screening. After adding the samples, it was placed back in an incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO 2Continue to incubate in the incubator for 72 h. After incubation, take out the cell culture plate, aspirate and discard the culture medium in the plate with a pipette, add 100 μL of culture medium containing 10% CCK-8 to each well, and incubate at 37 °C for 3 h. After incubation, take out the culture plate, keep it away from light, place it in an ELISA plate, select 630 nm as the reference wavelength and 450 nm as the measurement wavelength to measure the absorbance. According to the absorbance value, use four-parameter regression in GraphPad to calculate the IC 50 value (Table 1).

[0148] For the IC 50 value, where "++++" means 10 nM > IC 50 ; "+++" means 100 nM > IC 50 ≥ 10 nM; "++" means 500 nM > IC 50 ≥ 100 nM; "+" means 1000 nM > IC 50 ≥ 500 μM.
