Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a novel isoflavone compound and its intermediates, as well as the use of this compound in the preparation of neuroprotective drugs. It belongs to the pharmaceutical field. Background Technology

[0002] Neurons play a crucial role in activities such as learning, thinking, and memory. The gradual decline in neuronal function and viability caused by a variety of pathological factors is a major cause of neurodegenerative diseases. These multifactorial neurodegenerative diseases affect millions of people worldwide. Protein misfolding, mitochondrial damage, and oxidative stress are all present in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD). AD is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder characterized by memory loss and a decline in thinking and behavioral abilities. AD is considered a major cause of dementia, a progressive decline in at least two cognitive domains that leads to an inability to perform normal social and occupational activities. AD typically affects older adults, but it is not a normal aging defect. AD is characterized by amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) aggregation, accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein (p-tau), production of inflammatory mediators, oxidative stress, cholinergic dysfunction, and deficits in synaptic and cognitive function. Genetic factors, environmental factors, and typical lifestyle are part of the etiological factors associated with AD. Currently, Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects more than 50 million people, and this number is projected to reach 150 million by 2050. However, treating AD remains a challenge because its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Many phase III clinical trials targeting Aβ production and accumulation have failed. Recently, clinical trials of Crenezumab (NCT03491150), lanabecestat (NCT02972658), and solanezumab (NCT01900665) were terminated due to a lack of significant efficacy. This systemic failure in the search for new AD drugs has prompted scientists to explore new strategies to combat the disease.

[0003] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a variety of pathological features, such as massive DNA oxidation, severe mitochondrial damage, widespread lipid peroxidation, high levels of neurotoxic trace metals, and elevated Aβ levels. All of these factors increase the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress in the brains of AD patients. Under physiological conditions, ROS homeostasis is strictly regulated by the ROS-generating system and the cellular antioxidant network. The antioxidant defense system includes various enzymes and small molecules, such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), thioredoxin (Trx), thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), the glutathione peroxidase (GPX) family, and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). Studies of human AD have found that the levels of nuclear transcription factors Nrf2, SOD1, CAT, and GPX in the brains of AD patients are significantly lower than in healthy individuals. Due to the lower levels of Nrf2 and these important antioxidant enzymes, the brains of AD patients are more susceptible to ROS attack. In this situation, ROS causes progressive and irreversible damage to the brain. Furthermore, substantial research evidence shows a significant decrease in the level of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) in AD patients, possibly due to reduced ACh production or increased acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Moreover, increased AChE activity further leads to increased and accumulated Aβ levels.

[0004] Direct use of antioxidants such as vitamin E and vitamin C may have a positive effect on AD, but the efficacy of these antioxidants in clinical patients is still in its early stages. Activating Nrf2 to increase the level of antioxidant proteins is considered a better approach to achieving neuroprotection. Nrf2 can induce the expression of approximately 500 genes encoding various cytoprotective enzymes and detoxification proteins. High levels of Nrf2 can improve damage caused by ROS and / or mitochondrial dysfunction. Simultaneously, inhibiting AChE activity can not only increase neurotransmitter levels in the human brain but also reduce the production and accumulation of Aβ, thereby reducing ROS production. Currently, dimethyl fumarate (trade name Tecfidera) and oleanolic acid derivatives (trade name Skyclarys) are used as Nrf2 activators to treat multiple sclerosis and Friedrich's ataxia, respectively. Donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine are AChE inhibitors approved by the FDA for clinical treatment of AD.

[0005] Natural products are a vital source of innovation for new drug discovery. Naturally derived isoflavones, due to their polyphenolic structures, often possess strong antioxidant properties and other multiple physiological functions. Based on the structural characteristics of Nrf2 activators and our previous analysis of the structural characteristics of AChE inhibitors and the AChE protein structure, we designed and synthesized 40 structurally diverse isoflavone compounds and their intermediates (see attached product manual). Figure 6 and 7 (as shown in the figure), and tested the free radical scavenging ability of these compounds, their cytotoxic and protective activities against neuron-like PC12 cells, their activation effect on Nrf2, and their inhibitory activity against AChE. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an isoflavone compound or an intermediate thereof capable of activating Nrf2 and inhibiting AChE. Another objective of this invention is to provide the use of such a compound as a candidate molecule for neuroprotective drugs in neurodegenerative diseases.

[0010] The preparation method of this invention is as per the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1 , 2 The chemical reaction equations shown in 3, 4 and 5 proceed.

[0011] The isoflavone compounds and their intermediates described in this invention (see attached specification) Figure 6 and 7 The optimal preparation method for compounds is carried out through the following steps, which can be generally divided into two types: the preparation of compounds 1-11 is the first method, and the preparation of compounds 12-40 is the second method.

[0012] Preparation of compounds 1-11: Phloroglucinol (3.6 g, 28.6 mmol), various substituted phenylacetonitrs (32.5 mmol), and anhydrous zinc chloride (1.9 g, 13.9 mmol) were dissolved in 40 mL of 1,2-dimethoxyethane and stirred vigorously at room temperature. Hydrogen chloride gas was then slowly and continuously bubbled into the reaction solution until the solution became clear, and the bubbling continued for 30 minutes. The resulting reaction mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. After stirring, the reaction mixture was cooled to below 10 °C, and then 1.4 g of water was slowly added. The reaction continued for 2.5 hours below 10 °C. The solid intermediate ketimine hydrochloride was then obtained by filtration and washed with 1,2-dimethoxyethane (2.6 g) and water (4.4 g).

[0013] The resulting solid was then dissolved in a mixture comprising water (35 g), concentrated hydrochloric acid (3 g), and methanol (1.5 g). After thorough stirring, the mixture was heated to reflux at 110 °C and reacted for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to below 10 °C and stirred for another 2 hours. The resulting mixture was filtered under vacuum to obtain a solid cake, which was washed with (5 g) water. The solid was dried in a fluidized bed dryer at 65 °C for 5 hours to obtain intermediate ketone 1, namely compounds 2, 5, 8, and 9, which could be used directly in the next reaction without further purification.

[0014] Under stirring, a solution of boron trifluoride diethyl ether (6 mmol) was added dropwise to 8 mL of DMF containing intermediate 1 (1 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 53 °C, at which point a mixture of DMF (2 mL) and methanesulfonyl chloride (5 mmol) was slowly added. After the addition was complete, the mixture was maintained at this temperature for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was then heated to 100 °C and allowed to proceed for 7 hours, with the reaction progress monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). After the reaction was complete, the mixture was washed successively with saturated sodium acetate and sodium bicarbonate solutions, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were concentrated under reduced pressure, and the crude products were purified by column chromatography (elution system: dichloromethane:methanol) to give the corresponding pure compounds, namely compounds 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, and 11.

[0015] Preparation method of compound 12-40:

[0016] ① Preparation of intermediate compounds: Under dry conditions, 25 mL of boron trifluoride diethyl ether was added to a round-bottom flask containing the corresponding starting material polyphenol compound (10 mmol) and substituted phenylacetic acid (10 mmol). The mixture was heated to 90 °C and reacted for 6 hours, with the reaction progress monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). After the reaction was complete, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and the reaction mixture was washed with saturated sodium acetate and sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography to obtain the corresponding pure target compounds, namely intermediate compounds 13, 18, 19, 21, 23, and 26.

[0017] ② Preparation of isoflavones: Under dry conditions, boron trifluoride diethyl ether (25 mL) was added to a round-bottom flask containing the corresponding starting material polyphenol compound (10 mmol) and substituted phenylacetic acid (10 mmol). The mixture was heated to 90 °C and reacted for 6 hours, with the reaction progress monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). After the reaction was complete, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature and then further cooled to below 0 °C in an ice bath. At this point, DMF (15 mL) was slowly added dropwise to the reaction solution. After the addition was complete, the mixture was reheated to 53 °C and stirred for 15 minutes. Subsequently, a mixture of methanesulfonyl chloride (50 mmol) and DMF (8 mL) was slowly added dropwise at this temperature. After the addition was complete, the mixture was maintained at this temperature for another 15 minutes, then heated to 100 °C and reacted for 8 hours until the reaction was confirmed to be complete by TLC. After the reaction was complete and cooled, the mixture was washed successively with saturated sodium acetate solution and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (elution system: dichloromethane:methanol) to obtain the purified target compounds, namely isoflavones 12, 14-17, 20, 22, 24, 25 and 27-40.

[0018] Preparation of the polyphenolic reactant, 4-methoxyresorcinol: Hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution (30%, 8.9 mL, 86.7 mmol) and selenium dioxide (SeO2, 350 mg, 3.1 mmol) were added to 100 mL of dichloromethane and stirred thoroughly in an ice bath (0 °C). Then, 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (6.0 g, 39.4 mmol) was added in portions to the reaction mixture. After all the aldehydes were added, the ice bath was removed, and the reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction progress was confirmed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with water (100 mL). The filtrate was extracted three times with dichloromethane, and the combined organic layers were concentrated under reduced pressure. Subsequently, the organic phase was washed successively with 10% sodium bisulfite aqueous solution and saturated sodium chloride solution, and concentrated again under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in 20 mL of methanol and stirred vigorously with 200 mL of saturated sodium carbonate solution at room temperature for approximately 2 hours, with the reaction progress monitored by TLC. After the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 4–5 with 1 M hydrochloric acid and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were concentrated under reduced pressure to give a brown solid (5.2 g, 84% yield) of the target product. TLC confirmed that the product could be used directly in subsequent reactions without further purification.

[0019] Preliminary in vitro antioxidant assays and screening revealed that the product listed in the instructions... Figure 6 and 7 Some of the compounds shown exhibit strong scavenging ability against DPPH and ABTS free radicals (see attached instruction manual). Figure 49 and 50 Compounds 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, and 23-29 (a total of 12 compounds) with the strongest in vitro free radical scavenging ability were selected for cytotoxic activity assays and screening. It was found that all 12 compounds were non-toxic to PC12 cells (rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cells) at a concentration of 5 mM, while at concentrations up to 20 mM, only compound 26-28 showed weak toxicity (see product information appendix). Figure 51 These 12 compounds were further screened using an in vitro neurodegenerative disease cell model (PC12 cells were damaged by a certain concentration of hydrogen peroxide). The results showed that these 12 compounds had significant protective effects on PC12 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (see product manual attached). Figure 52 Compound 29, which exhibited the best protective activity, was selected. Its activation effect on the nuclear transcription factor Nrf2 was determined using a luciferase reporter gene assay. The results showed that its activity was significantly stronger than that of the classic Nrf2 activator tert-butylhydroquinone (THC) at the same concentration. t -BHQ (Instruction manual included) Figure 53Compound 29 also possesses AChE inhibitory activity and is a non-competitive AChE inhibitor (see product manual). Figure 54 Therefore, the isoflavone compounds and their intermediates of the present invention can serve as effective Nrf2 activators and AChE inhibitors, and as lead molecules for the development of neuroprotective and neurodegenerative disease drugs. The isoflavone compounds and their intermediates of the present invention have a simple synthetic process, high product purity, and exhibit strong protective effects on nerve cells, showing excellent application prospects.

The resulting reaction mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. After stirring, the reaction mixture was cooled to below 10 °C, and then 1.4 g of water was slowly added. The reaction continued for 2.5 hours below 10 °C. The intermediate 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)ethylimine hydrochloride solid was then obtained by filtration. This solid was washed with 1,2-dimethoxyethane (2.6 g) and water (4.4 g) and used directly in the next step of the reaction without drying.

[0025] Preparation of Compound 1: A solution of boron trifluoride diethyl ether (6 mmol) was added dropwise to 8 mL of DMF containing 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)ethyl ketone (274 mg, 1 mmol) under stirring. The reaction mixture was heated to 53 °C, at which point a mixture of DMF (2 mL) and methanesulfonyl chloride (5 mmol) was slowly added. After the addition was complete, the mixture was maintained at this temperature for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was then heated to 100 °C and allowed to proceed for 7 hours, with the reaction progress monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). After the reaction was complete, the mixture was washed successively with saturated sodium acetate and sodium bicarbonate solutions, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were concentrated under reduced pressure, and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (elution system: dichloromethane:methanol) to give the corresponding pure compound 1, namely 236 mg of 5,7-dihydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-chroman-4-one.

[0101] The experimental methods and results for determining the free radical scavenging activity, cytotoxic activity, neuroprotective activity, luciferase reporter gene activity, and AChE activity of compounds 1-40.

[0102] (1) In vitro free radical scavenging experiment: 20 mM of the target compound was mixed with 50 mM DPPH solution, the mixture was shaken vigorously and allowed to stand in the dark at room temperature for 30 minutes. The absorbance of the reaction solution was measured spectrophotometrically at 517 nm. The ABTS scavenging ability was determined according to published methods ( Free Radical Biol. Med. 1999, 26, 1231- 1237. The ABTS solution was prepared by oxidizing ABTS (7 mM) with potassium persulfate (2.5 mM) at room temperature in the dark for 12–16 hours, and then diluting it to an absorbance of 0.700 ± 0.020 at 734 nm. 2 mL of the ABTS solution was mixed with 100 mL of the target compound solution, and the absorbance at 734 nm was recorded after 30 minutes. Free radical scavenging results are shown in the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 49 and 50 .

[0103] (2) Cell Culture: PC12 cells are rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cells, derived from the Lanzhou Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. To ensure their growth in vitro is similar to their in vivo growth, the in vitro environment must simulate in vivo conditions. This involves providing the necessary conditions for cell survival, such as culturing in DMEM medium (containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and 2 mM glutamine) in a 5% CO2, 37 ℃, or 95% humidity CO2 cell culture incubator.

[0104] (3) MTT assay: Digested PC12 cells were subjected to a 1×10⁻⁶ t / t assay. 4 Cells were seeded in 96-well plates and cultured for 24 h. Then, cells were treated with different concentrations of compounds and incubated for 24 h. Next, 0.5 mg / mL MTT was added, and the 96-well plates were placed in a CO2 cell culture incubator for 4 h, resulting in the formation of blue-purple formazan. Finally, 100 μL of a triplet solution (10% SDS, 5% isobutanol, and 0.1% hydrochloric acid) was added to dissolve the cells overnight. Absorbance was measured using a microplate reader at 570 nm. Cytotoxic activity results are shown in the instruction manual appendix. Figure 51 .

[0105] (4) Experiment on oxidative damage of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to PC12 cells: PC12 cells were subjected to 1×10 4 Cells were seeded in 96-well plates and incubated with different concentrations of the compound for 24 h. The culture medium containing the compound was then discarded, and the cells were incubated with medium containing hydrogen peroxide (500 μM) for another 24 h. Cell viability was then determined using an MTT assay. Neuroprotective activity is detailed in the product manual. Figure 52 .

[0106] (5) Luciferase reporter gene experiment: pARE-luc plasmid was transformed and amplified by E. coli, and extracted using a high-purity medium-volume kit for later use. The cells to be transfected were seeded in 6-well plates. When the cells grew to about 50%, the pARE-luc plasmid was transfected into PC12 cells using transfection reagent. After incubation with the drug for 24 h, the cells were collected and then lysis buffer (1% Triton X-100, 25 mM Glycylglycine, 15 mM MgSO4, 4 mM EGTA, 1 mM DTT) was added. The cells were then pulverized using an ultrasonic cell disruptor. The protein quantification was 2 mg / mL. Add 200 μL of detection solution (100 μM luciferin, 25 mM M lycylglycine, 15 mM K3PO4, 15 mM MgSO4, 4 mM EGTA, 2 mM ATP, 1 mM DTT) and 10 μL of protein supernatant to each well. Finally, measure the biofluorescence using a fluorescence spectrometer. Luciferase reporter gene activity is shown in the instruction manual appendix. Figure 53 .

[0107] (6) AChE Activity and Kinetic Assay: AChE inhibitory activity was tested according to the method of Ellman et al. (Biochem. Pharmacol., 1961, 7, 2, 88-90.). Each compound (10 mL) was dispensed into 96-well microplates in triplicate and mixed with 190 mL of Ellman's reagent, which included 20 mL of AChE, 140 mL of phosphate buffer at pH = 8 (containing 10 mL of 0.5 mM 5,5-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB)), and 20 mL of ATCh. Control wells contained only ethanol. Enzyme activity was monitored at 412 nm, read every 30 seconds for 10 minutes (linear reaction). To investigate the inhibition type of the most active inhibitor, Ellman's method was performed at multiple substrate and inhibitor concentrations. Data were analyzed using Graph Pad Prism version 9.0, and Ki values ​​were calculated using the standard method of double reciprocal plotting (Lineweaver-Burk). AChE activity and kinetic results are attached to the instruction manual. Figure 54 .

[0108] In vitro free radical scavenging experiments demonstrated that some compounds possess strong free radical scavenging capabilities (see instruction manual). Figure 49 and 50These highly active compounds (compounds 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, and 23-29) were selected for further cytotoxic activity screening experiments. It was found that most compounds showed no toxicity at the experimental concentration of 20 mM (compounds 26-28 showed slight toxicity). (See attached product manual) Figure 51 Neuroprotective activity experiments demonstrated that these compounds exhibited varying degrees of protection against hydrogen peroxide-damaged PC12 cells (see instruction manual). Figure 52 Compound 29 exhibited the highest protective activity among the compounds. Luciferase reporter gene assays showed that compound 29, at the same concentration, was more effective than... t -BHQ (the classic Nrf2 activator) has a much higher Nrf2 activation ability (instructions included). Figure 53 This demonstrates that one of the mechanisms by which compound 29 protects nerve cells is by activating Nrf2. Simultaneously, compound 29 can also non-competitively inhibit AChE (see product manual). Figure 54 This is another mechanism by which it protects nerve cells. In summary, compound 29, as an Nrf2 activator and AChE inhibitor, has great potential for development of neuroprotective drugs or drugs for neurodegenerative diseases.
