Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and particularly relates to a substituted phenyl glycoside compound, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Currently, approximately 50 million people suffer from Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias, and there is no effective treatment. By 2050, the global AD incidence is expected to triple. AD is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the pathological accumulation of two types of protein deposits in the brain, including amyloid-β (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). Oxidative stress plays a key role in Aβ toxicity, and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been observed in dystrophic neurites associated with Aβ plaques in the brains of AD patients. Elevated ROS levels can mediate neuronal damage and synaptic dysfunction, ultimately leading to AD. Neuroprotective therapies aim to prevent or reverse brain damage caused by Aβ and oxidative stress, and are an ideal strategy for effectively alleviating the development of AD.
[0003] Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the first recognized neurotrophic factor, which can enhance neuroprotection, improve learning and memory, and reduce AD-related pathology (Pentz R, et al. The human brain NGF metabolic pathway is impaired in the pre-clinical and clinical continuum of Alzheimer's disease. Mol Psychiatry. 2021, 26(10): 6023-6037. doi: 10.1038 / s41380-020-0797-2.). However, its therapeutic application in AD patients is limited due to poor pharmacokinetics and insufficient blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in developing small molecules with potential NGF-mimetic activity for treating neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, many small molecules with NGF-mimetic activity have entered the clinical trial stage, and small molecules with NGF-mimetic activity may provide new treatment approaches for treating AD.
[0004] In addition, AD is generally regarded as a disease closely related to aging. Drugs with anti-aging effects such as resveratrol, metformin, and curcumin have been reported to have significant neuroprotective effects in AD models (Broderick TL, et al. Neuroprotective Effects of Chronic Resveratrol Treatment and Exercise Training in the 3xTg-AD Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease. Int J Mol Sci. 2020, 21(19):7337. doi:10.3390 / ijms21197337.; Xu Xiaoyan, et al. Metformin activates chaperone-mediated autophagy and improves disease pathologies in an Alzheimer disease mouse model. Protein Cell. 2021, 12(10):769-787. doi:10.1007 / s13238-021-00858-3.; Chen Ziyu, et al. Curcumin mitigates Aβ 33- 42 fibril-induced neuronal injury in the hippocampus. Mater. Today Phys. 2024, 44:101436. doi:10.1016 / j.mtphys.2024.101436.), for example, reducing inflammatory factors, enhancing antioxidant capacity, supporting neuron growth and repair, etc. At the same time, this also indicates a close link between aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, small molecules with anti-aging activity provide a potential direction for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases by promoting neuroprotection.
[0005] Therefore, based on the relationship between neurodegenerative diseases, aging, and NGF, a compound with NGF-mimicking activity and anti-aging effects can be developed. Summary of the Invention

[0131] Compound effect analysis
[0132] I. Bioactivity assay of compounds 1 - 18 on PC12 cells
[0133] 1. Medium preparation
[0134] (1) EM basal medium: High - glucose medium (DMEM) containing 1% (v / v) double antibiotics (10000 U / mL penicillin and 10 mg / mL streptomycin), stored in a 4°C refrigerator for later use.
[0135] (2) CM complete medium: DMEM containing 1% double antibiotics (10000 U / mL penicillin and 10 mg / mL streptomycin), 10% horse serum (HS) and 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), stored in a 4°C refrigerator for later use.
[0136] 2. Steps for the assay of NGF - like activity of PC12 cells
[0137] When the density of PC12 cells reaches 70% - 80% of the culture dish, sub - culture is carried out. The cells are seeded into a 24 - well plate at a density of 50000 cells per well, and 1 mL of CM complete medium is added to each well. Then it is placed in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO 2 for 24 h. 0.5% DMSO is used as the negative control, and NGF (40 ng / mL) is used as the positive control. The test samples (compounds 1 - 18) are prepared into the test concentrations (1, 3, 10 μM) with DMSO. DMSO, NGF and the test samples are respectively mixed with EM medium to prepare solutions with a total volume of 1 mL, replacing the original CM medium in the 24 - well plate. After continuing to culture for 48 h, the morphological changes of the cells are observed and the neurite differentiation rate of PC12 cells is calculated (neurite differentiation rate of cells = number of cells with neurites longer than one - fold of the longest diameter of the cell body / total number of cells in the selected field of view × 100%). Approximately 100 - 200 cells are observed in each field of view. Three fields of view are randomly selected for counting and the average value is taken. The images at the concentration corresponding to the optimal neurite differentiation rate of each compound are integrated. The experimental data are analyzed by one - way ANOVA using GraphPad Prism 8.0 statistical software, and the results are expressed as mean ± standard error (mean ± SEM), with the significance level set at P < 0.05.

After cooling to room temperature, it was stored in a 4 °C refrigerator for later use.
[0146] (5) Preparation of test samples: According to the different polarities of the test samples, they were first dissolved with a quantitative amount of 50% aqueous ethanol solution or ethanol to prepare the required concentrations. The positive control was a 10 μM resveratrol solution prepared with the same solvent, and the negative control was an equal volume of blank solvent. Generally, when measuring the replicative lifespan, the total volume of the sample solution or control was 150 μL.
[0147] 2. Method for measuring the replicative lifespan of K6001 yeast
[0148] (1) Take out the cryopreserved K6001 yeast strain from a -30°C refrigerator, add 5 mL of PBS solution, centrifuge (1500 rpm, 3 min), wash three times to remove the glycerol and culture medium therein, then add 5 mL of galactose liquid medium, and culture at 28°C with constant shaking (160 r / min) for 24 h.
[0149] (2) After the yeast grows to the logarithmic growth phase, take it out from the shaker, mix well, take out 1 mL of yeast solution, centrifuge (1500 rpm, 3 min) three times with 5 mL of PBS to remove the galactose liquid medium therein, observe and count under a microscope using a hemocytometer, and then dilute the yeast solution to a certain concentration for standby.
[0150] (3) Add 5 mL of sterilized glucose solid medium to a sterilized glass petri dish. After the medium solidifies, add the positive control, negative control, and a certain concentration of the test sample solution respectively. After the solvent evaporates, add 4000 yeasts, and spread them evenly with a sterilized spreader, and culture at 28°C for 48 h.
[0151] (4) Observe and count under a microscope (eyepiece 10 times, objective 20 times). Randomly select 40 colonies produced by single yeast cells in each petri dish, count the number of daughter cells produced around the mother cells respectively, and record and analyze by graphing.

[0154] III. Evaluation of the neuroprotective activity of compound 18 in PC12 cells
[0155] 1. Method for determining the neuroprotective activity of PC12 cells
[0156] (1) Determine the cell survival rate in the H 2 O 2 injury model: Inoculate about 5×10 4 PC12 cells in each well of a 24-well plate, and culture in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO 2 for 24 h. Then, change the culture medium to 1 mL of EM medium containing different test samples. In H 2 O 2In the dose-dependent experiment, cells were treated with 0.5% DMSO for 24 h and then cultured with different concentrations of H 2 O 2 for 1 h. Finally, it was determined that H 2 O 2 (0.8 mM) had the most significant effect and was selected as the dose for subsequent studies. To study the neuroprotective effect of compound 18, PC12 cells were treated with compound 18 (1, 3, or 10 μM) for 24 h and with 0.8 mM H 2 O 2 for 1 h. The medium was changed to 500 μL of EM medium containing 200 μg / mL 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), and the cells were cultured for another 2 h. The medium was completely removed, and 200 μL of DMSO was added to each well to dissolve the formed formazan crystals. The generated formazan was detected at 570 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader.
[0157] (2) Determination of cell viability in the Aβ 25-35 injury model: Approximately 5×10 4 PC12 cells were seeded in each well of a 24-well plate and cultured in an incubator at 37 °C and 5% CO 2 for 24 h. Then, the medium was changed to 1 mL of EM medium containing different test samples. In the dose-dependent experiment of Aβ 25-35 , cells were treated with 0.5% DMSO for 0.5 h and then cultured with different concentrations of Aβ 25-35 for 48 h. Finally, it was determined that Aβ 25-35 (30 μM) had the most significant effect and was selected as the dose for subsequent studies. To study the neuroprotective effect of compound 18, PC12 cells were treated with compound 18 (1, 3, or 10 μM) for 0.5 h and with Aβ 25-35 (30 μM) for 48 h. The medium was changed to 500 μL of EM medium containing 200 μg / mL MTT, and the cells were cultured for another 2 h. The medium was completely removed, and 200 μL of DMSO was added to each well to dissolve the formed formazan crystals. The generated formazan was detected at 570 nm using an ELISA reader.
[0158] (3) Determination of ROS in PC12 cells:
[0159] To determine the ROS level in PC12 cells, approximately 5×10 4 PC12 cells were seeded in each well of a 24-well plate. The cells were treated with compound 18 (1, 3, or 10 μM) for 24 h and then with 0.8 mM H 2 O 2Treat for 1 h. Then add 10 μM 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) to each well and incubate for 30 min. Wash the cells with PBS to remove extracellular DCFH-DA, and observe DCF in PC12 cells using a fluorescence microscope.
[0160] (4) Determination of MDA in PC12 cells: To detect the MDA content in PC12 cells, seed 2×10 6 PC12 cells in a 6-cm culture dish containing 5 mL of complete CM medium and culture for 24 h. Then, treat PC12 cells with compound 18 (1, 3, or 10 μM) for 24 h, and then treat with 0.8 mM H 2 O 2 for another 1 h. Lyse the cells with RIPA lysis buffer, centrifuge, centrifuge the cell lysate, and take the supernatant to evaluate the MDA content. Determine the MDA content using an MDA assay kit according to the manufacturer's instructions.
[0161] 2. Analysis of test results
[0162] As Figure 3 shown, compound 18 significantly increased the survival rate of PC12 cells in the presence of H 2 O 2 (0.8 mM) in a dose-dependent manner ( Figure 3 A in); compound 18 significantly reduced the increase in ROS and MDA in H 2 O 2 -induced PC12 cells ( Figure 3 B–D in); compound 18 significantly increased the survival rate of PC12 cells damaged by Aβ 25-35 (30 μM) ( Figure 3 E in). The results indicate that compound 18 can not only inhibit oxidative stress by reducing ROS and MDA, but also protect PC12 cells from Aβ-induced damage, and has significant neuroprotective activity.
[0163] IV. Target identification and mechanism analysis of compound 18 in PC12 cells
[0164] 1. Methods for target identification and mechanism analysis
[0165] (1) Western blot analysis: To extract proteins, cells were lysed in RIPA lysis buffer supplemented with 1% protease and 1% phosphatase inhibitors. Then the samples were centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C, and the supernatant was transferred to a new tube. Protein concentration was determined using a BCA kit, and all samples were denatured at 100 °C for 10 min. Approximately 20 μg of protein from each sample was loaded into each well of a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) gel. After electrophoresis, the proteins were transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane, which was then blocked with 5% skim milk for 60 min. Then the membrane was incubated with diluted primary antibody overnight at 4 °C. After washing, the membrane was incubated with secondary antibody for 45 min. Then a chemiluminescence detection kit was used to visualize protein bands, and ImageJ software was used to quantify the blot density.
[0166] (2) Small interfering RNA (siRNA) experiments: The primer sequences for knocking down INSR and ACTN4 and the negative control (NC) siRNA were as follows: For INSR (NM_017071.2), sense strand: 5'-GUGAAGAGCUGGAGAUGGATT-3' (SEQ ID NO.1), antisense strand: 5'-UCCAUCUCCAGCUCUUCACTT-3' (SEQ ID NO.2); For ACTN4 (NM_031675.2), sense strand: 5'-UUGAAGUGGCUGAGAAAUATT-3' (SEQ ID NO.3), antisense strand: 5'-UAUUUCUCAGCCACUUCAATT-3' (SEQ ID NO.4); For NC siRNA, sense strand: 5'-UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT-3' (SEQ ID NO.5), antisense strand: 5'-ACGUGACACGUUCGGAGAATT-3' (SEQ ID NO.6).

INSR siRNA (150 nM) or ACTN4 siRNA (150 nM) could achieve a transfection efficiency of over 90% and was selected as the dose for subsequent studies. To evaluate the protein levels of INSR and ACTN4 after transfection with different siRNAs, approximately 2×10 6Cells were cultured for 24 h. 2 mL of DMEM containing 4 μL Lipofectamine RNAiMAX was mixed with 2 mL of DMEM containing INSR siRNA, ACTN4 siRNA or NC siRNA (the final concentration of siRNA was 150 nM), and the original medium was replaced with this mixture. After 8 h of transfection, the medium in each well was replaced with 5 mL of DMEM containing compound 18 at a concentration of 10 μM, and the cells were cultured for another 2 h. Cell proteins were extracted from each culture dish and analyzed by Western blotting.
[0167] (3) Cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA): First, approximately 2×10 6 cells were seeded into each 6-cm cell culture dish and cultured for 24 h. Subsequently, the medium was replaced with 5 mL of EM medium containing compound 18 at a concentration of 10 μM and incubated for 4 h. Then, cell proteins were extracted from each group, and the protein concentration was determined using a BCA kit. The control group and the experimental group were both divided into seven equal aliquots. Each aliquot contained 100 μL of protein (2 μg / μL) and was heated at 46, 50, 54, 58, 62, and 66 °C for 3 min. The supernatant of each sample was collected, centrifuged at 12,000 rpm at 4 °C for 20 min, and then each sample was mixed with 5× SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer, denatured at 100 °C for 10 min, and analyzed by Western blotting.
[0168] (4) Drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS): PC12 cell proteins were collected, and their concentration was determined using a BCA kit. Subsequently, the samples were diluted to 2 μg / μL. The protein samples were divided into two equal aliquots and incubated with compound 18 at a concentration of 10 μM or 0.5% DMSO at room temperature for 3 h. After incubation, the control group and the compound 18-treated group were further divided into five equal aliquots. Each sample was treated with pronase E at 500:1, 200:1, 100:1, 50:1 (protein:pronase E = w / w) or an equal volume of TNC buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM CaCl 2 ) at 25 °C for 25 min. After treatment, all samples were mixed with 5× SDS-PAGE protein loading buffer, heated at 100 °C for 10 min, and analyzed by Western blotting. In the dose-dependent experiment, the protein samples were divided into seven equal aliquots and incubated with compound 18 at concentrations of 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 25 μM or 0.5% DMSO at room temperature for 3 h. Each sample was treated with protease E (protein:pronase E = 100:1 w / w) or an equal volume of TNC buffer at 25 °C for 25 min, and the remaining sample treatment methods were the same as above.
[0169] 2. Analysis of Test Results
[0170] As Figure 4 shown, in the siRNA experiment, after transfection with INSR siRNA, the total INSR protein level decreased significantly, confirming the successful knockdown of INSR protein. In addition, INSR siRNA significantly reduced the phosphorylation of INSR protein induced by compound 18 ( Figure 4 A in); in the CETSA experiment, compound 18 enhanced the thermal stability of INSR protein in PC12 cells ( Figure 4 B in); in the DARTS experiment, compound 18 (10 μM) significantly inhibited the degradation of INSR protein in the presence of different concentrations of pronase E, especially 1.0% pronase E ( Figure 4 C in). At the same time, compound 18 increased the stability of INSR protein in a dose-dependent manner ( Figure 4 D in). The results indicate that INSR is the target protein of compound 18 in PC12 cells.
[0171] As Figure 5 shown, in the CETSA experiment, the treatment with compound 18 increased the thermal stability of ACTN4 ( Figure 5 A and B in); in the DARTS experiment, compound 18 (10 μM) significantly inhibited the degradation of ACTN4 protein in the presence of different concentrations of pronase E, especially 1.0% pronase E ( Figure 5 C in). At the same time, after treatment with compound 18, the stability of ACTN4 protein increased in a dose-dependent manner ( Figure 5 D in). The results indicate that ACTN4 is a target of compound 18.
[0172] As Figure 6 shown, the INSR-specific inhibitor (HNMPA-(AM) 3 significantly reduced the phosphorylation of INSR and downstream protein Akt induced by compound 18 ( Figure 6 A in); the PI3K-specific inhibitor LY294002 reversed the increase in the phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt induced by compound 18 ( Figure 6 B in). In the siRNA experiment, transfection with ACTN4 siRNA significantly reduced the levels of ACTN4, p-PI3K, and p-Akt induced by compound 18 ( Figure 6 C in). The results indicate that compound 18 promotes neurite outgrowth by activating the PI3K / Akt signaling pathway through INSR and ACTN4.
