[0049] Table 1

[0050]

[0051]

[0052] Example 1

[0053] This example is used to illustrate the affinity test of the compounds shown in Formula (1) to Formula (9) to LIF (leukemia inhibitory factor).

[0054] The affinity test uses a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument (model Biacore 8K), and the specific steps include:

[0055] The system temperature is set to 25℃, the flow rate is set to 10 μL / min, and the 1×PBS-P buffer is passed until the baseline is stable. A CM5 chip is selected, and the coupling of LIFR is operated according to the NHS / EDC coupling method, and the coupling steps are as follows: (a) Activation: 900 s of sample injection at a flow rate of 10 μL / min, and a mixture of NHS / EDC (0.1M NHS and 0.4M EDC, mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1 before use, and used immediately) is used to activate the carboxyl groups of the dextran on the chip surface; (b) Immobilization: a solution of LIFR at 20 ng / μL is prepared using a sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.5), and 1200 s of sample injection is performed at a flow rate of 10 μL / min; (c) Blocking: 900 s of blocking is performed using 1M ethanolamine hydrochloride, and the coupling process is completed.

[0056] The compound to be detected was dissolved in PBS-P buffer (1.0x PBS, pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.05% tween-20) to prepare a concentration gradient of 0.01 μM, 0.0195 μM, 0.039 μM, 0.078 μM, 0.156 μM, 0.3125 μM, 0.625 μM, 1.25 μM, and EC359 was used as a positive control for kinetic constant analysis. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0057] Table 2

[0058]

[0059] As shown in Table 2, the compounds represented by formula (1) to formula (8) have an affinity for LIF comparable to that of the positive control; indicating that the compounds represented by formula (1) to formula (8) have different degrees of binding affinity for LIF.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] This example is used to illustrate the in vitro safety (cytotoxicity) test of the compounds represented by formula (1) to formula (9).

[0062] The in vitro safety test uses the CCK-8 method to detect NRK-49F cytotoxicity, and the specific steps include:

[0063] NRK-49F cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at a density of 5x10 4 cells / well, and 100 μL of DMEM / F12 (containing 10% FBS and 1% double antibody) cell culture solution was added to each well. After incubation in a 37°C cell culture incubator for 24 h, the culture solution was replaced with DMEM / F12 (containing double antibody) cell culture solution containing 1.5 ng / mL, 3 ng / mL, 6 ng / L, 12.5 ng / mL, 25 ng / mL, 50 ng / mL, and 100 ng / mL of the compound represented by formula (1) prepared in advance, and incubation was continued for 48 h. The old culture solution was carefully removed and replaced with fresh DMEM / F12 (containing 1% double antibody) cell culture solution, and 10 μL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well, which was incubated at 37°C for 0.5 h. The OD 450nm was read using a microplate reader, and the relative cell survival rate was calculated.

[0064] The compounds represented by formula (2) to formula (9) were tested for cytotoxicity according to the above method, and the results are shown in Figure 1 and 2 .

[0065] From Figure 1 and Figure 2It can be seen that the compound shown in formula (6) is highly toxic, while the compounds shown in formula (1), formula (2), formula (3), formula (4), formula (5), formula (7), formula (8) and formula (9) have better safety.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] This example illustrates that the compound shown in formula (4) can prevent the progression of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice.

[0068] (1) The methods for preparing a bleomycin-induced mouse pulmonary fibrosis model include:

[0069] Healthy male C57BL / 6J mice aged 5 weeks with an average weight of 20 g were selected and acclimatized for 7 days. Then, a physiological saline solution containing bleomycin was injected intratracheally at a dose of 2.5 mg / kg / day. The model was successfully established when the mice exhibited huddling and lying down, weight loss, and inflammatory infiltration and collagen deposition in the lung tissue pathology examination on the 7th day of culture.

[0070] (2) Feeding methods for bleomycin-induced mouse pulmonary fibrosis model:

[0071] Model group: The group model constructed in step (1) is divided into groups and fed with the compound shown in formula (4) at a rate of 30 mg / kg / day.

[0072] Blank control group: fed the same amount of blank solvent (physiological saline) as the model group.

[0073] Solvent control group (sham surgery group): fed the same amount of blank solvent (physiological saline) as the model group.

[0074] (3) Lung tissue was taken 21 days later for Masson staining to verify the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, by Figure 3 It can be seen that formula (4) can significantly inhibit the progression of pulmonary fibrosis.

[0075] Example 4

[0076] This example illustrates that the compounds shown in formulas (1) to (4) can inhibit the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in rat kidney fibroblasts (NRK-49F) stimulated by TGF-β1.

[0077] The specific method is as follows:

[0078] NRK-49F cells were inoculated in DMEM / F12 mixed medium containing 10% FBS and 1% double antibody, and cultured in a 5% CO2 incubator. NRK-49F cells cultured for 24 h were divided into a negative control group (mixed culture with sterile PBS buffer), a positive control group (mixed culture with only 8 ng / mL human recombinant TGF-β1 protein (rhTGF-β1)), and four drug administration groups (mixed culture with 50 ng / mL compounds represented by formula (1) to formula (4) and 8 ng / mL rhTGF-β1, respectively). The four drug administration groups were replaced with DMEM / F12 (containing 1% double antibody) cell culture solution containing 50 ng / mL compounds represented by formula (1) to formula (4) configured in advance 2 h in advance. After 2 h, the positive control group and the drug administration group were added with 8 ng / mL of rhTGF-β1, and continued to be cultured for 48 h. The supernatant was discarded, the cells were washed with PBS for 3 times, the cells were collected, the mRNA was extracted, and the mRNA expression level of fibrosis-related proteins in the extracellular matrix of NRK-49F cells was detected by RT-qPCR. The results are shown in Table 1. Figure 4

[0079] Comparative Example 1

[0080] The same method as in Example 4 was used, except that five drug administration groups were set up, and the cultured NRK-49F cells were mixed with 10 ng / mL compound represented by formula (6), 50 ng / mL compound represented by formula (5), and compounds represented by formula (7) to formula (9), respectively. The remaining steps were the same as in Example 4, and the results are shown in Table 2. Figure 4

[0081] From Table 2, it can be seen that the compounds represented by formula (1), formula (3), and formula (4) can effectively inhibit the expression of Figure 4 in the extracellular matrix of NRK-49F, thereby effectively improving the fibrosis caused by TGF-β1 stimulating NRK-49F cells. Col1a1, Fn, Acta2, Lif, Lifr Example 5

[0082] This example is used to illustrate that the compounds represented by formula (1) to formula (4) can inhibit the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in rat kidney fibroblasts (NRK-49F) stimulated by LIF.

[0083] The specific method is as follows:

[0084]

[0085] ​​​NRK-49F cells were inoculated in DMEM / F12 mixed medium containing 10% FBS and 1% double antibody and cultured in a 5% CO2 incubator. NRK-49F cells cultured for 24 h were divided into a negative control group (mixed with sterile PBS buffer for culture), a positive control group (mixed with 12 ng / mL human recombinant LIF protein (rhLIF) for culture only), and four drug administration groups (mixed with 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 ng / mL compounds represented by formula (1) to formula (4) and 12 ng / mL rhLIF, respectively). The four drug administration groups were replaced with DMEM / F12 (containing 1% double antibody) cell culture solution containing 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 ng / mL compounds represented by formula (1) to formula (4) configured in advance 2 h in advance, and 12 ng / mL rhLIF was added to the positive control group and the drug administration group 2 h later. Continue to culture for 48 h, discard the supernatant, wash the cells with PBS for 3 times, collect the cells, extract the protein, and use Western Blot to detect the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in the extracellular matrix of NRK-49F cells. The results are shown in Figures 5-6 .

[0086] Comparative Example 2

[0087] The same method as in Example 5 was used, except that the drug administration groups of the compounds represented by formula (5) to formula (9) were set up, and the NRK-49F cells after culture were mixed with 1, 5, 10 ng / mL formula (6), 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 ng / mL compounds represented by formula (5), formula (7) to formula (9) for culture, and the remaining steps were the same as in Example 5. The results are shown in Figures 7-8 .

[0088] From Figures 5-8 It can be seen that, compared with formula (5) to formula (9), the compounds represented by formula (1), formula (2), formula (3) and formula (4) can effectively inhibit the expression of COL1A1, LIFR, α-SMA and LIF, thereby effectively improving the fibrosis caused by LIF stimulating NRK-49F cells.

Kidneys were removed in a clean biosafety cabinet, rinsed with sterile, ice-cold physiological saline to remove blood cells, minced with ophthalmic scissors, and then digested with type IV collagenase at 37°C until a paste-like consistency was achieved. Digestion was terminated by adding PBS buffer containing 10% FBS. The cells were centrifuged at 500 rpm for 2 minutes at 4°C, the supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was resuspended in 5 mL of 32% Percoll solution. The cells were centrifuged at 2000g at 4°C for 10 minutes, with a slow deceleration (increase rate 9, decrease rate 5). The supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in DMEM / F12 (containing 1% penicillin and antibiotics), centrifuged at 500 rpm for 2 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in DMEM / F12 cell culture medium containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin and antibiotics. The resuspended solution was transferred to culture dishes and cultured at 37°C for subsequent experiments.

Two hours before treatment, the four drug-treated groups were replaced with DMEM / F12 (containing 1% penicillin antibody) cell culture medium containing the compounds shown in formulas (1)-(4) at concentrations of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 ng / mL. Two hours later, 8 ng / mL rhTGF-β1 was added to the positive control group and the drug-treated groups, and the cells were cultured for another 48 hours. The supernatant was discarded, the cells were washed three times with PBS buffer, and the cells were collected. mRNA was extracted, and the mRNA expression level of fibrosis-related proteins in the extracellular matrix of mouse primary renal tubular epithelial cells was determined by RT-qPCR.

Kidneys were removed in a clean biosafety cabinet, rinsed with sterile, ice-cold physiological saline to remove blood cells, minced with ophthalmic scissors, and then digested with type IV collagenase at 37°C until a paste-like consistency was achieved. Digestion was terminated by adding PBS buffer containing 10% FBS. The cells were centrifuged at 500 rpm for 2 minutes at 4°C, the supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was resuspended in 5 mL of 32% Percoll solution. The cells were centrifuged at 2000g at 4°C for 10 minutes, with a slow deceleration (increase rate 9, decrease rate 5). The supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in DMEM / F12 (containing 1% penicillin and antibiotics), centrifuged at 500 rpm for 2 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in DMEM / F12 cell culture medium containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin and antibiotics. The resuspended solution was transferred to culture dishes and cultured at 37°C for subsequent experiments.

[0099] Once the cells reached a suitable density, primary mouse renal tubular epithelial cells were divided into a negative control group (cultured with sterile PBS buffer), a positive control group (cultured with 12 ng / mL rhLIF only), and four drug-treated groups (cultured with compounds of formulas (1)-(4) at concentrations of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 ng / mL and 12 ng / mL rhLIF, respectively).
