Abstract
Description
Novel glucocorticoid, preparation method and use thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry technology, and in particular to a novel glucocorticoid, a preparation method thereof, and its use in preparing a medicament for treating glucocorticoid receptor-mediated diseases, including but not limited to various eye diseases, respiratory diseases, autoimmune diseases, skin diseases, kidney diseases, etc. Background Art
[0002] Glucocorticoids, with their anti-inflammatory properties, are widely used to treat inflammatory disorders or diseases, such as respiratory diseases, rheumatic autoimmune diseases, renal diseases, and skin diseases. They can control symptoms and slow disease progression, with significant clinical efficacy. The primary mechanisms of action of glucocorticoids in treating various inflammatory diseases include inhibiting the migration and activation of inflammatory cells such as eosinophils and neutrophils; inhibiting the production of cytokines such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes; inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators; and enhancing β2 receptor responsiveness in bronchial smooth muscle cells. Because glucocorticoid receptors are widely distributed within effector cells, the effects of glucocorticoids are closely dose-dependent. At supraphysiological doses, glucocorticoids exhibit a wide range of pharmacological effects, particularly important ones such as anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and anti-shock effects. However, they can also be associated with numerous adverse reactions, such as obesity, moon facies, buffalo hump, edema, spontaneous fractures, osteoporosis and femoral head necrosis, ulcers, acute gastrointestinal bleeding, insomnia, hirsutism, and decreased immunity, which limit their clinical application. For example, topical glucocorticoids are primarily applied topically. However, long-term, high-dose use can lead to various side effects, including weakened skin barrier function. This can significantly increase systemic exposure, leading to systemic absorption side effects. Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, in particular, affects 30% to 50% of patients receiving long-term glucocorticoid therapy. Currently, there is no effective treatment, and once discovered, glucocorticoid use is the only option.
[0003] Although topical administration of glucocorticoids is the preferred treatment modality, systemic drug levels remain a concern. Commonly used glucocorticoids have a long plasma half-life in the human body after entering the systemic circulation. For example, fluticasone propionate has a half-life of 180 minutes, while dexamethasone and betamethasone have half-lives of 100-300 minutes. Topical administration of glucocorticoids for respiratory diseases via inhalation carries the risk of systemic exposure because some of the drug enters the systemic circulation through the lungs. Topical administration for ocular diseases also carries the risk of some drug entering the systemic circulation due to the low permeability and efficient drainage of the cornea and the presence of eyelid blood vessels. Furthermore, for dermal administration, local injections, and implantable medical devices, there is a significant risk of drug leakage into the systemic circulation. Therefore, when applied topically, glucocorticoids should ideally possess properties that significantly minimize systemic exposure.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need to develop a class of glucocorticoids with high anti-inflammatory activity and low side effects. The compounds described in the present invention (including the compounds themselves, their optical isomers, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates) and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof can be used to treat or alleviate various glucocorticoid receptor-mediated conditions. More specifically, the compounds of the present invention are preferably used to treat at least one glucocorticoid receptor-mediated disease. For example, the compounds of the present invention can be used to treat the following diseases:
[0005] Eye diseases: including but not limited to external eye diseases such as blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, allergic conjunctivitis, epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, scleritis, episcleritis, etc.; anterior eye diseases such as iritis, iridocyclitis, uveitis, etc.; posterior eye diseases such as dry eye, diabetic retinopathy, wet age-related macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularization, posterior uveitis, etc.; postoperative inflammation such as cataract, glaucoma, retinal detachment, strabismus correction, etc.; abnormal corneal wound healing and eye pain.
[0006] Airway diseases; including but not limited to pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiolitis, and respiratory distress syndrome.

This effect can be prophylactic, in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease or its symptoms; and / or therapeutic, in terms of partially or completely stabilizing or curing a disease and / or causing side effects due to the disease. As used herein, "treat" encompasses any treatment of a disease in a patient, including: (a) preventing the onset of a disease or symptom in a patient who is susceptible to the disease or symptom but has not yet been diagnosed with the disease; (b) suppressing the symptoms of a disease, i.e., arresting its development; or (c) alleviating the symptoms of a disease, i.e., causing the disease or symptom to regress.
[0324] In the present invention, an "effective amount" refers to an amount that is effective at the necessary dosage and time to achieve the desired therapeutic or preventive effect. The "therapeutically effective amount" of the substance / molecule of the present invention may vary according to factors such as the individual's disease state, age, sex and weight, and the ability of the substance / molecule to elicit the desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount also encompasses an amount in which the therapeutically beneficial effects of the substance / molecule outweigh any toxic or deleterious consequences. A "prophylactically effective amount" refers to an amount that is effective at the necessary dosage and time to achieve the desired preventive effect. Usually, but not necessarily, since a prophylactic dose is used for a subject before the onset of the disease or in the early stages of the disease, the prophylactic effective amount will be lower than the therapeutically effective amount. In the case of cancer, a therapeutically effective amount of a drug can reduce the number of cancer cells; reduce the size of the tumor; inhibit (i.e., slow down to a certain extent, preferably stop) the infiltration of cancer cells into surrounding organs; inhibit (i.e., slow down to a certain extent, preferably stop) tumor metastasis; inhibit tumor growth to a certain extent; and / or alleviate one or more symptoms associated with cancer to a certain extent.

[0671] 4.2 Model preparation
[0672] Sixty female BALB / c mice were adaptively fed. After one week, 10 mice were randomly selected as a blank control group, and 50 mice were used to establish an asthma model. All 50 model mice were sensitized with 0.2 mL of a sensitizing solution containing 50 μg OVA and 2 mg Al(OH)3 via intraperitoneal injection on days 0, 7, and 14. A control group received an equal volume of saline.
[0673] On days 21-23 after sensitization, mice in the model group and the drug-treated group were challenged with 5% OVA by aerosol for 30 min, and mice in the normal group were challenged with physiological saline by aerosol for the same period of time.
[0674] 4.3 Grouping and Dosing
[0675] 30 minutes before daily stimulation, mice in the blank group and model group were intratracheally administered with 50 μl of normal saline, and mice in the compound 8, 11, 23 and positive drug budesonide groups were intratracheally administered with 50 μl of corresponding drugs, once a day for 3 consecutive days.
[0676] Table 5 Animal grouping and dosage
[0677] 4.4 Airway hyperresponsiveness measurement
[0678] Airway reactivity was measured in each group of mice after the final challenge. Mice were placed in a body scan chamber, and after measuring the baseline expiratory pause (Penh) value, they were challenged with nebulized methacholine. The concentrations of methacholine ranged from 0, 6.25, and 12.5 mg / mL, with a nebulized dose of 100 μL per session for 60 seconds. After each concentration, the mice were observed for signs of hypoxia, such as shortness of breath, head scratching, and irritability. The Penh values were then recorded for 3 minutes, and the average values were taken to compare airway reactivity among the groups.
[0679] 4.5 Sample Collection and Detection of Inflammatory Factors in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid
[0680] After the mouse airway hyperresponsiveness test was completed, the mice were killed by dislocating the cervical vertebrae and fixed on a dissecting dish. The abdomen and chest cavity of the mice were opened, the skin and excess tissue on the neck were cut off, the mouse trachea was exposed, and a small incision was made on the transverse axis of the trachea with small scissors. A 1ml syringe needle that had been processed in advance was inserted and the needle was fixed with surgical thread. 0.5ml of pre-cooled phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was drawn with a 1ml syringe and slowly injected into the mouse lungs, and then slowly aspirated. Each mouse was lavaged once, and a total of about 0.4ml of lavage fluid was collected. The alveolar lavage fluid was centrifuged at 3000rpm for 5min. After centrifugation, the supernatant was packaged and the content of inflammatory factors IL-6 and IL-12 in the alveolar lavage fluid was determined using an ELISA kit.
[0681] 4.6 Statistics
[0682] SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. The measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. One-way ANOVA was used for comparison between groups. LSD test was used for homogeneous variances, and Dunnett-t test was used for unequal variances. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
