Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel thiophenecarboxamide compound having Vanin-1 inhibitory activity, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same and its medical use. Background Art

[0002] Vanin-1 is a molecular chaperone encoded by the PTGES3 gene, which is widely distributed in eukaryotes as a highly conserved protein. Vanin-1 can bind to the Hsp90 protein and promote the stability of the Hsp90 protein and various biological function molecular aggregates, such as estrogen receptor, androgen receptor, and telomerase. It has been found that the substrate of Vanin-1 is pantetheine, and Vanin-1 catalyzes its hydrolysis to produce pantothenic acid and cysteamine (Pitari G et al., Pantetheinase activity of membrane-bound vanin-1: lack of free cysteamine in tissues of vanin-1 deficient mice. FEBS Lett. 2000; 483: 149-154). These products affect various biological processes. Pantothenic acid participates in the anabolic process of coenzyme A, regulates the metabolic processes of fatty acid synthesis and pyruvate oxidation, and cysteamine affects the cellular redox state. Its deficiency leads to resistance to oxidative tissue damage caused by γ-radiation or administration of paraquat, and can prevent or eliminate tissue inflammation (Berruyer C et al., Vanin-1- / - mice exhibit a glutathione mediated tissue resistance to oxidative stress. Mol Cell Biol. 2004; 24: 7214-7224). Vanin-1 deficiency can effectively resist IBD in mouse models (including DSS (dextran sodium sulfate) and TNBS (trinitrobenzenesulfonate) colitis) (Berruyer C, et al., Vanin-1 licenses inflammatory mediator production by gut epithelial cells and controls colitis by antagonizing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ activity. J Exp Med. 2006; 203: 2817-2827). Prior arts such as WO2018011681, WO2016193844, and WO2020114947 have disclosed a series of Vanin-1 inhibitors for treating various diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. In addition, it has been found that Vanin-1 is highly expressed in various tumors, including lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, leukemia, etc. The high expression of Vanin-1 can promote tumor cell migration, upregulate the level and biological activity of androgen receptor, and promote tumorigenesis.

[0003] However, overall, there is still a lack of small molecule compounds that act as effective Vanin-1 inhibitors, and there is also a lack of relatively mature small molecule compound drugs related thereto.

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a novel compound that can be used as a Vanin-1 inhibitor, and this novel compound can effectively prevent and / or treat diseases related to or mediated by Vanin-1. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention prepared a series of thiophenecarboxamide compounds by chemical synthesis methods, and surprisingly found that they have a high affinity for Vanin-1, can efficiently inhibit the catalytic activity of Vanin-1 on the pantetheine substrate, and interfere with the synthetic metabolism process of pantethine and coenzyme A. Based on this action pathway, this series of thiophenecarboxamide compounds have a therapeutic effect on Vanin-1-mediated diseases, especially inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, and have the prospect of being developed into drugs for treating inflammatory diseases in the future.

[0179] 2. Pharmacodynamic evaluation for the acute phase of DSS-induced inflammatory bowel disease

[0180] 2.1 Materials

[0181] Male C57BL / 6J mice at 6 - 8 weeks old, 20 - 22 g per mouse, were purchased from Liaoning Changsheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. All mice were given sterile water and standard feed and were raised in an SPF laboratory. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) was purchased from Dalian Meilun Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0182] 2.2 Model construction and administration

[0183] All mice were adaptively fed for 1 week before the start of the experiment and randomly divided into a normal control group, a model control group, and a treatment group, with 6 mice in each group. Mice in the model group and the treatment group were given 3% DSS aqueous solution to drink freely for 7 days to induce colitis. Mice in the treatment group were given compound III-A orally (10 mg / kg / day) while drinking 3% DSS aqueous solution freely, and the normal control group and the model control group were given an equal volume of solvent by gavage during the same period. The body weight of the mice was monitored daily, and the disease activity index (DAI) of the fecal intestinal function index was scored. Modeling and administration were terminated on the 7th day, and the mice were euthanized the next day after fasting to collect physiological and biochemical indexes to evaluate the pharmacodynamic efficacy of compound III-A in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

[0184] 2.3 Evaluation

[0185] As Figure 1 can be seen, the changes in body weight and DAI scores of mice in the treatment group during the modeling period were significantly lower than those in the model control group, revealing that compound III-A can effectively relieve the physiological function and activity status of mice during inflammatory bowel disease. The colon length of the treated mice was measured, and the results are as Figure 2 shown. The colon length of mice in the treatment group was about 1.8 cm longer than that of mice in the modeling group, almost approaching the colon length of mice in the normal control group. The fecal morphology of the colon in the treatment group was intact, revealing that compound III-A can significantly improve diarrhea and intestinal epithelial mucosal injury in mice during the course of inflammatory bowel disease. Further molecular mechanism results showed that multiple inflammatory factors in the colon of mice in the treatment group, such as IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, and IFN-γ, were significantly lower than those in the model control group, indicating that the compound of the present invention can significantly improve the inflammatory level of the mouse colon, thereby reducing tissue damage caused by inflammatory factors during the course of inflammatory bowel disease ( Figure 3 ). In summary, the compound of the present invention can significantly improve the level of inflammatory factors in the colon during the course of inflammatory bowel disease, relieve colon tissue damage, and thereby improve symptoms such as diarrhea under inflammatory bowel disease, and has an excellent therapeutic effect on inflammatory bowel disease.

[0186] 3. Pharmacodynamic evaluation for the recovery period of DSS-induced inflammatory bowel disease

[0187] 3.1 Materials

[0188] Male C57BL / 6J mice, 6 - 8 weeks old, weighing 20 - 24 g each, were purchased from Liaoning Changsheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. All mice were given sterile water and standard feed and raised in an SPF laboratory. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) was purchased from Dalian Meilun Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0189] 3.2 Model construction and administration

[0190] All mice were adaptively housed for 1 week before the start of the experiment and randomly divided into a normal control group, a model control group, and a treatment group, with 6 mice in each group. For the recovery-phase model, colitis was first induced, and then drug treatment was given to observe the recovery of colitis in mice under drug treatment. Details are as follows: Mice in the model group and the treatment group were given a 4% DSS aqueous solution to drink freely for 7 days to induce colitis. Mice in the treatment group and the model group started to be given normal drinking water on the 8th day; meanwhile, the treatment group started to be given compound III-A (10 mg / kg / day) on the 8th day, and the model group was given a blank solvent in parallel. Subsequently, until the 15th day, the body weight and activity of the mice were monitored daily, and the death of the mice was recorded. Finally, the mice were euthanized, the colon tissues of the mice were collected, and the levels of inflammatory factors in the colon tissues were detected by PCR. At the same time, the colon tissues were fixed for H&E and PAS staining to perform pathological analysis of the inflammatory recovery of the intestinal tract.

[0191] 3.3 Evaluation

[0192] In the treatment group, the hair of the mice gradually returned to normal during the recovery period, and was dark and shiny. Compared with the model control group where the mice were listless, the food intake of the mice in the treatment group was much higher than that of the model control group. In addition, body weight monitoring showed that after DSS was withdrawn, the body weight of the mice in the model control group continued to decline, and the final average body weight decreased by about 40%. While the body weight of the treatment group gradually leveled off and then increased day by day. One mouse in the model control group died on the seventh and eighth days after DSS was withdrawn, and no mouse in the treatment group died ( Figure 4 ). The colon length of the treatment group was much higher than that of the model control group, and the ileocecal valve and feces in the colon were almost close to those of the normal control group, indicating a return to the normal level ( Figure 5A and Figure 5B ). It shows that the compound of the present invention has a significant therapeutic effect on the recovery period of mice with inflammatory bowel disease and can accelerate the recovery and improvement of the state of the mice. The measurement results of inflammatory factors in the colon tissues are as Figure 6 shown. The inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ in the treatment group of mice all returned to near-normal levels, while the colon tissues of the model control group were still at a relatively high inflammatory level. The histopathological sections also indicated that the colon villi and morphology of the mice in the treatment group returned to normal, and there was no obvious inflammatory infiltration. The colon villi of the mice in the model control group were still severely damaged, and there was significant inflammatory infiltration ( Figure 7A and Figure 7B ). The above results show that the compound of the present invention can significantly improve the repair of colon tissues and the inflammatory state of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and has a good therapeutic effect during the recovery period of the disease.
