Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis agents, and more specifically to a compound having an indazole group, a THRβ receptor agonist, and its uses. Background Technology
[0002] The biological activity of thyroid hormones is mediated by the thyroid hormone receptor (THR). The THR forms a heterodimer with retinoid receptors, which act as ligand-inducible transcription factors. The THR regulates gene expression through interactions with DNA response elements and various nuclear co-activators and co-repressors. The thyroid hormone receptor originates from two separate genes, α and β. The main thyroid receptor isotypes are α1, α2, β1, and β2. THR isotypes can differ in their contribution to specific biological responses. The THRβ isotype is primarily expressed in brain and liver tissues and is responsible for feedback regulation of the HPT axis and lipid-lowering effects. Selective activation of the THRα isotype is associated with adverse effects on the heart and bone. Therefore, selective activation of the THRβ isotype in liver tissue is beneficial.
[0003] The physiological effects of thyroid hormones influence almost every organ system. Clinically, these effects manifest as changes in metabolic rate, alterations in lipid metabolism, and characteristic effects on cardiovascular development. Thyroid receptors that bind thyroid hormones are classified into three subtypes: α1, β1, and β2. Recent studies have shown that TRβ1 plays an important role in regulating TRH (thyrotropin-releasing hormone) and thyroid hormones in the liver. TRβ2 plays a major role in regulating TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) in the liver (J. Clin. Invest, 1999, Vol 104, 291-300). MGL-3196 is a selective thyroid hormone receptor β (THRβ) agonist used to treat non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Clinical studies have shown that MGL-3196 has good effects in promoting intrahepatic lipid clearance, improving magnetic resonance proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF), and achieving remission of MASH (metabolism-associated steatohepatitis), and improvements in the degree of liver tissue inflammation and fibrosis have been observed in some patients. However, MGL-3196 still has some limitations in clinical application. Some subjects experienced adverse events, such as diarrhea, nausea, hypertension, and mild thyroid dysfunction. Therefore, further improvement and development are needed. Summary of the Invention
