Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic compound preparation technology, and in particular to a tryptamine ketone compound, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, nonspecific inflammatory bowel disease that primarily affects the mucosa and submucosa of the colon and rectum. Typical symptoms include recurrent diarrhea, bloody and mucous stools, abdominal pain, tenesmus (a feeling of incomplete bowel movement), and weight loss. Severe cases may be accompanied by fever, anemia, and other systemic symptoms. The lesions typically begin in the rectum and extend continuously towards the proximal colon; the extent of inflammation correlates with disease severity. The etiology is not fully understood, but it is likely related to the interaction of multiple factors, including genetic susceptibility, abnormal activation of the immune system, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and environmental factors such as diet and smoking. Treatment aims to control inflammation, relieve symptoms, and reduce recurrence. Mild to moderate cases are commonly treated with aminosalicylic acid derivatives (such as mesalazine), while moderate to severe or refractory cases require treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants (such as azathioprine), or biologics (such as anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibodies). Developing new drugs for treating ulcerative colitis is a pressing challenge in this field.
[0003] Tryptanthrin is a natural indole alkaloid widely found in medicinal plants such as Isatis indigotica. In recent years, it has become a research hotspot for the treatment of ulcerative colitis due to its significant anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. Studies have shown that tryptanthrin can inhibit intestinal inflammatory responses through multiple targets: (1) blocking key signaling pathways such as NF-κB and STAT3, and reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory factors such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β; (2) regulating the Th17 / Treg cell balance and inhibiting excessive immune responses; and (3) enhancing intestinal barrier function and reducing oxidative stress damage. Animal experiments have shown that tryptanthrin can significantly alleviate the symptoms of colitis induced by sodium dextran sulfate (DSS) in mice, and reduce the disease activity index and histopathological score. To improve efficacy and reduce toxicity, researchers have modified the structure of tryptanthrin and developed a series of derivatives. For example, the introduction of sulfonic acid groups can enhance water solubility, fluorinated derivatives show stronger NF-κB inhibitory activity, and C-6 hydroxyl-substituted derivatives show better antioxidant capacity. Currently, tryptophan offers a potential direction for the development of drugs for ulcerative colitis. Developing anti-ulcerative colitis drugs based on tryptophan is of great significance for the development of novel drug treatments.
[0004] Therefore, the discovery of a novel tryptophanone compound with anti-ulcerative colitis activity, along with its preparation method and applications, is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0168] The NO secretion levels of the compounds obtained in Examples 1-16 were measured respectively:
[0169] RAW264.7 cells were diluted with complete culture medium to a concentration of 2.0 × 10⁶ cells per well. 5 Cells were seeded into 96-well plates. After cell attachment, the supernatant was gently aspirated, and 90 μL of complete culture medium solution of compounds 1–16 (5 μM concentration) was added to each well. After 2 h, 10 μL of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at a concentration of 1 μg / mL was added to each well, and the cells were cultured for another 20 h before collecting the supernatant.
[0170] NO content was determined using the Griess method: 50 μL of cell supernatant was taken from each sample well, and 50 μL of sulfanilamide solution was added. The mixture was reacted in the dark for 10 min. Then, 50 μL of N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine solution was added, and the reaction was continued in the dark for another 10 min. Finally, the absorbance of each well was measured at 562 nm using a microplate reader. The results are shown below. Figure 1 As shown.
[0171] The graphs showing the NO secretion induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharide in the compounds obtained in Examples 1-16 are shown below. Figure 1 As shown. By Figure 1 Compounds 2c, 2d, 2e, 2h, 2j, 2k, and 2l exhibited inhibitory activity against nitric oxide (relative to the inflammation model group, i.e., the LPS group in the figure), demonstrating that these compounds possess anti-inflammatory activity and have the potential to become anti-inflammatory drugs. In particular, 2l showed the most significant inhibition of NO secretion at the same molar concentration, exhibiting significant anti-inflammatory activity and potential for further development.
[0172] MTT assay was performed on compound 2l obtained in Example 12:
[0173] The specific steps are as follows: RAW264.7 cells were prepared with complete culture medium to a density of 1.25 × 10⁶ cells / year. 5 Single-cell suspensions of 100 μL / mL were seeded into each well of a 96-well plate. After culturing the cells under suitable conditions for 24 h, the original culture medium was discarded, and 100 μL of drug solutions of different concentrations were added. The test drugs were prepared with six concentration gradients: 100 μM, 50 μM, 25 μM, 12.5 μM, 6.25 μM, and 3.125 μM (the drug stock solution was prepared with biological grade DMSO to 1 mmol / L, and then serially diluted with culture medium before use). A blank control group and a control group were also established. After culturing for another 20 h, 10 μL of LTT solution was added to each well, incubated for 4 h, and then DMSO was added, followed by shaking for 1 min. Finally, the absorbance (A) of each well at 490 nm was measured using a microplate reader, and cell viability was calculated according to the following formula. The results are shown below. Figure 2 As shown.
[0174] Cell viability (%) = (A-drug group - A-control group) / (A-control group - A-blank group) × 100%.
[0175] The following performance tests were performed on compound 2l obtained in Example 12:
[0176] Animal grouping and administration: Based on the results of MTT and NO secretion detection, tryptophan and compound 2l with good anti-inflammatory activity and low cytotoxicity were selected for the experiment.
[0177] The experimental animals were divided into the following groups: control group, model group, positive control group with added sulfasalazine (dose of 125 mg / kg), tryptophan group (dose of 78 mg / kg), and compound 2l group (dose of 108 mg / kg).
[0178] Model establishment: Sixty male SPF-grade C57BL / 6 mice, aged 6–8 weeks and weighing 18–22 g, were used in the experiment. The mice were acclimatized for one week before the experiment began. The control group mice drank purified water, while the other groups drank 2.5% dextran sulfate sodium solution to induce the formation of the UC mouse model.
[0179] Drug administration: The mice were administered the drug by gavage at the same time as the model was established. The control group and the model group were administered distilled water by gavage, while the sulfasalazine group, TRYP and compound 2l group were administered the corresponding dose of the drug by gavage. The gavage volume was 10 mL / kg, and the administration was repeated for 12 consecutive days.
[0180] Disease Activity Index (DAI) Score: From the first day of animal modeling, the mice's weight, stool consistency, and fecal bloodiness were recorded according to the DAI scoring table to calculate the Disease Activity Index (DAI). Test results are as follows: Figures 3-6 As shown.
[0181] The effect of compound 2l obtained in Example 12 on the histopathological score of colon tissue in UC mice is shown in the figure below. Figure 3 As shown. By Figure 3 It is evident that compound 2l has a better therapeutic effect than the positive control drug sulfasalazine.
[0182] The effect of compound 2l obtained in Example 12 on the body weight of mice with ulcerative colitis is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. By Figure 4 It is evident that, compared to the model group and the sulfasalazine group, mice treated with compound 2l had the highest average weight.
[0183] The effect of compound 2l obtained in Example 12 on colon length in mice with ulcerative colitis is as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown. By Figure 5 and Figure 6 It is evident that, compared to the model group and the sulfasalazine group, mice treated with compound 2l had the longest colon.
[0184] Combination Figures 3-6 It is evident that compound 2l has therapeutic effects on ulcerative colitis and has the potential to be developed into a drug.
