Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to 4-substituted phenylacetamide compounds, their preparation methods and applications, and particularly to compounds with substituted pyridine, substituted pyrazine, and substituted pyrimidine skeletons, their preparation methods and applications. Background Technology

[0002] The balance of sphingolipids in the human body is closely related to tumors, and targeting the sphingolipid pathway is a novel approach to developing anticancer drugs. Ceramide (Cer), sphingosine (Sph), and sphingosine-1-phosphosine (S1P) are all sphingolipids in the body. They not only participate in the composition of cell membranes but also act as lipid signaling molecules involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Studies have shown that Cer / Sph promotes apoptosis, while S1P promotes cell survival; their imbalance promotes tumor development and progression. Sphingolipid research typically uses the term "sphingolipid-rheostat" to describe the balance and transformation among these three components. Therefore, targeting the sphingolipid signaling pathway and regulating the "sphingolipid-rheostat" has become a new direction for developing antitumor drugs.

[0003] SphK catalyzes the phosphorylation of Sph to S1P and is a key rate-limiting enzyme controlling the spholipid-variable rheostat. Inhibition of SphK can increase the Cer / Sph ratio, which promotes apoptosis, and decrease S1P, which promotes cell survival, thereby producing an anti-tumor effect. SphKs have two subtypes, with SphK1 being widely reported as an oncogene. However, due to the contradictory key physiological functions of SphK2, related pathological research and drug development have been severely hampered. Nevertheless, the important role of SphK2 in promoting tumorigenesis has been unanimously recognized by researchers in recent years, especially with its selective inhibitor ABC294640 currently in Phase II clinical development, which strongly promotes research on the related mechanisms of SphK2.

[0004] Currently, there are few reported highly effective and selective SphK2 inhibitors. However, studies have shown that targeting SphK2 exhibits superior antitumor activity compared to targeting SphK1. Nevertheless, the crystal structure of SphK2 remains unknown, and no SphK2 inhibitors have been approved for marketing globally. Furthermore, most reported SphK2 inhibitors are limited by low potency, low specificity, structural homogeneity, and limited availability, which significantly hinders research on the sphingolipid signaling pathway and the development of related therapeutic drugs. Although ABC294640 has been widely used in biological research, it still suffers from low enzyme activity.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel, highly efficient, and highly selective SphK2 inhibitors to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0065] Example 2: Preparation of the series of compounds shown in formula (I): When X=N, it is a pyrazine ring;

[0066] Step (1) is the same as in Example 1.

[0067] (2) 0.88 g (5.00 mmol) of 2-hydroxy-5-bromopyrazine (compound A1), 0.76 g (6.00 mmol) of benzyl chloride with different substituents (compound B1), 2.07 g (15.00 mmol) of potassium carbonate, and 0.08 g (0.50 mmol) of potassium iodide were placed in a 50 mL round-bottom flask containing 20 mL of acetone. The mixture was heated to reflux at 65 °C for 2 h, and the reaction endpoint was detected by TCL. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the reaction was quenched with water, and the mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were combined and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate: petroleum ether = 1:16) to give 1.23 g of pale yellow powder (compound C1), with a yield of approximately 80.45-94.34%. (3) 1.32 g (5.00 mmol) of compound C1, 1.66 g (6.00 mmol) of compound G, 1.46 g (15.00 mmol) of potassium acetate, and 0.07 g (0.10 mmol) of [1,1-bis(diphenylphosphine)ferrocene]palladium dichloride were placed in a 50 mL round-bottom flask containing 20 mL of mixed solvent (ethanol:water = 1:1). Under nitrogen protection, the mixture was heated to reflux at 85 °C for 2 h, and the reaction endpoint was detected by TCL. The ethanol in the mixed solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the reaction was quenched with water, and the mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were combined and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluting agent: ethyl acetate:petroleum ether = 1:6) to give 1.48 g of pale yellow powder (compound D1), with a yield of approximately 81.33-94.56%.

[0068] (4) Weigh 1.67 g (5.00 mmol) of compound D1 and 1.00 g (25.00 mmol) of sodium hydroxide, place them in a 50 mL round-bottom flask containing 20 mL of mixed solvent (methanol:water = 1:1), heat under reflux at 50 °C for 3 h, and then use a TCL to detect the reaction endpoint. Remove methanol from the mixed solvent under reduced pressure, and add an appropriate amount of 1 mol·L⁻¹. -1 The pH was adjusted to neutral or acidic with hydrochloric acid solution until a pale yellow solid precipitated. The solid was filtered and the filter cake was dried naturally to give 1.36 g of pale yellow solid (compound E1), with a yield of approximately 71.14-84.98%.

[0069] (5) Dissolve 0.32 g (1 mmol) of compound E1 in 5 mL of dichloromethane, add 0.29 g (1.5 mmol) of EDCI and 0.03 g (0.2 mmol) of DMAP, and react at room temperature for 1 h. Then add (1 mmol) of different types of amines (see Table 2), and react overnight at room temperature (25 °C). Detect the reaction endpoint by TLC, extract with ethyl acetate, and dry with water and Na2SO4. Separate and purify by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane:methanol = 40:1), recrystallize from ethyl acetate, and a white solid precipitates. Dry under vacuum to obtain the target product series (I), with a yield of approximately 65-85%.

Then add (1 mmol) of different types of amines (see Table 1), and react overnight at room temperature (25 °C). Detect the reaction endpoint by TLC, extract with ethyl acetate, and dry with water and Na2SO4. Separate and purify by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane:methanol = 60:1), recrystallize from ethyl acetate, and a white solid precipitates.
