Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a macrocyclic sodium channel modulator, in particular a Nav1.8 channel modulator. BACKGROUND

[0002] Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) mediate the selective influx of sodium ions into excitable cells and play an important role in initiating and propagating the action potential. Voltage-gated sodium channels are ubiquitous in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and are also found in skeletal and cardiac muscle.

[0003] Nav's form a subfamily of the voltage-gated ion channel superfamily and comprise nine isoforms, designated Nav1.1-Nav1.9. The nine isoforms have different tissue localizations. Nav1.4 is the major sodium channel of skeletal muscle, and Nav1.5 is the major sodium channel of cardiac cells. Nav's 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 are primarily localized to the peripheral nervous system, while Nav's 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.6 are neuronal channels found in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. The functional behavior of the nine isoforms is similar, but differs in specific aspects of voltage dependence and kinetic behavior.

[0004] Nav1.8 voltage-gated sodium channels are believed to play a role in a variety of diseases, including neuropathic pain, chronic itch, and inflammatory pain sensation.

[0005] There is still a need for effective inhibitors of Nav1.8 sodium ion channel activity that have selective activity against the Nav1.8 sodium ion channel. Accordingly, the compounds of the present invention are useful for the treatment and prevention of diseases, disorders and conditions involving the Nav1.8 receptor and the Nav1.8 voltage-gated sodium ion channel.

[0138] 4. Electrophysiological experiment

[0139] (1) Liquid for electrophysiological experiment

[0140] Extracellular solution: 140 mM NaCl, 3.5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2·6H2O, 2 mM CaCl2·2H2O, 10 mM D-Glucose, 10 mM HEPES, 1.25 mM NaH2PO4·2H2O, pH 7.4 adjusted with NaOH.

[0141] Intracellular solution: 50 mM CsCl, 10 mM NaCl, 10 mM HEPES, 60 mM CsF, 20 mM EGTA, pH 7.2 adjusted with CsOH.

[0142] (2) Patch clamp detection

[0143] The voltage stimulation protocol for whole-cell patch-clamp recording of sodium currents is as follows: After whole-cell sealing, the cell voltage is clamped at -120 mV. First, the voltage is stepped from -130 mV to -10 mV in 10 mV increments, held for 5 s, and then a 0 mV depolarization pulse is applied to obtain the half-inactivated voltage (Vhalf). The resting state and half-inactivated state of sodium currents are detected using a dual-pulse mode. First, a first depolarization pulse (TP1) is applied to 0 mV for 50 ms to detect the resting state sodium current. Then, the voltage is adjusted to Vhalf, held for 5 s, then restored to -120 mV, held for 20 ms, and then a second depolarization pulse (TP2) is applied to 0 mV for 50 ms to detect the half-inactivated state sodium current. Finally, the clamp voltage is restored to -120 mV. Data is collected repeatedly every 20 s to observe the effect of the drug on the peak sodium current in the two different states. The test data were acquired by the EPC 10 amplifier (HEKA) and stored in the PatchMaster (HEKA) software.

[0144] The patch-clamp procedure begins by using a microelectrode puller to draw a glass capillary into a recording electrode. The electrode, filled with intracellular fluid, is then placed into a microelectrode holder. Under an inverted microscope, the microelectrode manipulator is used to immerse the electrode in the extracellular fluid, and the electrode resistance (Rpip) is recorded. Next, the electrode is slowly brought into contact with the cell surface, and negative pressure is applied to aspirate and create a high-resistance seal (GΩ). Fast capacitance compensation is then performed, and continued negative pressure is applied to rupture the cell membrane, establishing a whole-cell recording mode. Finally, slow capacitance compensation is performed, and experimental parameters such as series resistance (Rs) are recorded. No leakage compensation is applied.

[0145] Once the sodium current recorded in whole cells stabilized, drug administration began. Each drug concentration was administered for 5 minutes (or until the current stabilized) before moving to the next concentration. A coverslip containing cells was placed in a recording bath under an inverted microscope. Blank control solution and working solution of the test compound were administered sequentially from low to high concentration through the recording bath using gravity perfusion, while a peristaltic pump was used for fluid replacement during recording. The current detected in the solution without the compound served as a control for each cell. Each concentration was measured independently in duplicate using at least two cells. All electrophysiological experiments were performed at room temperature.

[0146] 5. Data Analysis

[0147] First, the peak sodium current after each drug concentration was applied was recorded. compound Peak current of blank control control Normalize, and then calculate the inhibition rate corresponding to each drug concentration under different states, i.e. The inhibition rate of each concentration was averaged.

[0148] The dose-effect curve was fitted using Hill equation: Y = Bottom + (Top-Bottom) / (1+10^((LogIC 50 -X)*HillSlope)), where Bottom and Top represent the minimum and maximum values of inhibition, respectively, X represents the logarithmic value of compound concentration, Y represents the Peak-current compound / Peak-current Control The numerical value, IC 50 represents the drug concentration that produces a half-inhibitory effect, and HillSlope represents the Hill coefficient.

[0160] Test article preparation: The appropriate amount of test article was weighed into a vial and dissolved in DMSO. The test article was then diluted with extracellular solution to achieve a final concentration of 30 μM, 10 μM, 3 μM, 1 μM, and 0.3 μM. The final concentration of DMSO in each of the working solutions was 0.3%.

[0161] 2. Cell Culture

[0162] The HEK-293 cell line stably expressing hERG potassium channel was purchased from Creacell (Cat. No. A-0320).

The cell density must not exceed 80% to maintain the electrophysiological activity of the cells.

[0163] Before patch clamp assay, cells were detached with TrypLE Express and resuspended in extracellular solution at a concentration of 4 x 105 cells / mL. TM Express, 4 x 105 cells were plated onto coverslips in 24-well plates (final volume: 500 μL) and incubated for 18 hours before testing. 3

[0167] ​Patch-clamp assay: The voltage stimulation protocol for whole-cell patch-clamp recording of hERG currents is as follows: After whole-cell sealing, the cell membrane voltage is clamped at -80 mV. The clamp voltage is depolarized from -80 mV to -50 mV and maintained for 0.5 s (as leakage current detection), then stepped to 30 mV and maintained for 2.5 s, and then rapidly restored to -50 mV and maintained for 4 s to excite the tail current of the hERG channel. Data is collected every 10 s to observe the effect of the drug on the hERG tail current. A 0.5 s stimulation at -50 mV is used as the leakage current detection. Experimental data are acquired using an IPA amplifier (Sutter Instrument) and stored in SutterPatch (with IgorPro) software.

[0168] The patch-clamp procedure begins by using a microelectrode puller to draw a glass capillary into a recording electrode. The electrode, filled with intracellular fluid, is then placed into a microelectrode holder. Under an inverted microscope, the microelectrode manipulator is used to immerse the electrode in the extracellular fluid, and the electrode resistance (Rpip) is recorded. Next, the electrode is slowly brought into contact with the cell surface, and negative pressure is applied to aspirate and create a high-resistance seal (GΩ). Fast capacitance compensation is then performed, and continued negative pressure is applied to rupture the cell membrane, establishing a whole-cell recording mode. Finally, slow capacitance compensation is performed, and experimental parameters such as series resistance (Rs) are recorded. No leakage compensation is applied.

[0169] Once the hERG current recorded in whole cells stabilized, drug administration began. Each drug concentration was administered for 5 minutes (or until the current stabilized) before moving to the next concentration. Multiple concentrations were measured for each test compound. A coverslip containing cells was placed in a recording bath under an inverted microscope. Blank control solution and working solution of the test compound were perfused sequentially from low to high concentration through the recording bath using gravity perfusion, with fluid exchange performed using a peristaltic pump during recording. The current detected in the compound-free solution for each cell served as its control group. Each concentration was measured independently in triplicate using at least three cells. All electrophysiological experiments were performed at room temperature.

[0172] The dose-response curve was fitted using the Hill equation: Y = Bottom + (Top - Bottom) / (1 + 10^(LogIC)) 50- Bottom + (Top - Bottom) * (X / HillSlope)), where Bottom and Top are the minimum and maximum values of the inhibition, X is the logarithm of the compound concentration, and Y is the peak tail current compound / Peak tail current Control Value, IC 50 represents the drug concentration that produces half-maximal inhibition, and HillSlope represents the Hill coefficient.
