Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicine, and specifically relates to a novel URAT1 inhibitor containing 3-(1-substituted-phenyl)benzoic acid, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With improved living standards and changes in dietary habits, uric acid levels are rising, and the number of patients with hyperuricemia is also increasing. Due to the lengthy treatment cycles and poor prognostic factors for hyperuricemia and gout, hyperuricemia is gradually becoming the "fourth most common hyperuricemia" after hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. It is the second most common metabolic disease in China, after diabetes, and is closely linked to obesity, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. Approximately 90% of hyperuricemia cases are caused by insufficient renal uric acid excretion, while the remaining 10% are caused by excessive uric acid production due to abnormal purine metabolism. Under normal circumstances, approximately 90% of uric acid in urine is reabsorbed into the blood. Urate transporter 1 (URAT1) is a key protein in uric acid reabsorption in the proximal tubules of the kidneys. Inhibiting URAT1's uric acid reabsorption function promotes uric acid excretion, thereby lowering blood uric acid levels. This is currently the main treatment strategy for hyperuricemia or gout.
[0003] Currently, the URAT1 inhibitors on the market include probenecid, benzbromarone, lecithinide and dotinorel. In addition, the URAT1 inhibitor SHR4640 developed by Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co., Ltd. in China was first applied for listing on January 9, 2025, and is expected to be approved for listing in China within 2025. Probenecid was launched in the United States in 1951. It was originally used to inhibit the renal excretion of drugs. It was later found to have URAT1 inhibitory activity. However, probenecid interacts with multiple drugs, resulting in reduced drug efficacy and limiting its clinical use. Benzbromarone was first approved for listing in Japan in 1978. It can significantly inhibit the reabsorption activity of URAT1. 50 The value is 0.22μM. However, due to the poor selectivity and severe hepatotoxicity of benzbromarone, it has not been marketed in the United States and was withdrawn from the European market in 2003. Resinade, the first selective URAT1 inhibitor, has moderate URAT1 inhibitory activity, IC 50 The uric acid concentration of URAT1 was 7.3 μM. It was launched in the US in December 2015 but has since been withdrawn due to severe nephrotoxicity. With the increasing prevalence of hyperuricemia, existing therapeutics are no longer able to meet clinical needs. Therefore, developing novel URAT1 inhibitors to alleviate clinical drug demand is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0084] Evaluation of URAT1 inhibitory activity in vitro of product A1-8 obtained in the above examples:

Self-developed HEK293T / hURAT1 stably transfected cells were plated at a density of 2×10 5cells / mL cell suspension, 200 μL cell suspension was added to each well of a 96-well plate, and blank group, control group and experimental group were set up, with 5 replicates in each group. HEK293T / hURAT1 cell suspension was added to the control group and experimental group, and no cells were added to the blank group. After culturing for 48 h, 100 μL HBSS (without Cl) was added to the blank group. - ) solution, 100 μL of 6-carboxyfluorescein solution (final concentration 239.48 μmol / L) was added to each well of the control group, and 100 μL of the test compound solution containing 6-carboxyfluorescein (239.48 μmol / L) in each concentration gradient was added to each well of the experimental group. After 1 hour, the working solution was removed by aspiration and 200 μL of HBSS (without Cl - ) solution three times, and lyse each well with 100 μL of 0.5 mol / L NaOH solution for 30 min. In a microplate reader, set the excitation wavelength to 490 nm and the emission wavelength to 525 nm, and read the plate after shaking. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0087]
[0088]
[0089] From the results in Table 1, it can be seen that the compounds A1-8 obtained in the present invention have excellent inhibitory activity against URAT1, especially A2, IC 50 The value was 144.6±27.4μM, which was similar to that of Resinade (IC 50 =119.1±8.30μM), followed by A6, IC 50 The value was 255.8±14.4 μM, which was only twice as effective as that of lesinade. In summary, the novel URAT1 inhibitor containing 3-(1-substituted-phenyl)benzoic acid of the present invention has excellent inhibitory activity against URAT1 and has a clear uric acid-lowering therapeutic effect.
