Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the pharmaceutical field and relates to a class of compounds used as specific inhibitors of the voltage-gated sodium ion channel subtype Nav1.8 and their use in treating diseases related to pain associated with the Nav1.8 target. Background Technology

[0002] Pain is the fifth vital sign after breathing, pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature. It is originally a warning mechanism of the body, but when pain becomes persistent, unbearable, or even severely affects normal work and life, it is no longer a simple warning signal, but a disease requiring treatment. Pain is a major reason why people seek medical attention; chronic pain alone affects more than one-fifth of the world's population. Currently, pain has become the third leading health problem after cardiovascular disease and cancer.

[0003] Pain perception is a complex physiological process, but the transmission of pain signals is inseparable from the participation of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs, or Nav). The generation of pain in the human body originates from the conversion of harmful stimuli (mechanical, thermal, cold, and chemical stimuli) into nerve impulses (action potentials) by pain receptors distributed throughout the body's peripheral nerve endings. These impulses are transmitted via afferent nerves to the dorsal root ganglion (DRG), and then via efferent nerves to the central nervous system, thus allowing the perception of pain. Nav plays a role in triggering and transmitting nerve impulse signals, and is the main mediator for the initiation and rise of DRG action potentials. When the cell membrane depolarizes, sodium channels are activated, opening and causing an influx of sodium ions, further depolarizing the cell membrane and leading to the generation of action potentials. Inhibiting Nav can effectively block pain signal transmission and exert an analgesic effect; however, currently used clinical Nav inhibitors (such as lidocaine, carbamazepine, and mexiletine) have significant toxic side effects due to their inhibition of non-pain-related subtypes, limiting their application. Therefore, specifically inhibiting pain-related subtypes is an important direction for developing highly effective and safe analgesics.

[0004] Nav neurons are classified into nine subtypes, namely Nav1.1 to 1.9. Among them, Nav1.7, Nav1.8, and Nav1.9 are the main subtypes involved in action potential generation in the peripheral nervous system. Their involvement in action potentials primarily involves the following process: After the pain signal is transmitted to the dorsal root ganglion, Nav1.7 amplifies the threshold depolarization current, causing the action potential to reach the threshold, which is a crucial step in initiating action potentials in DRG neurons. Subsequently, Nav1.8 is activated, generating an inward current that promotes the rise of the action potential. During this process, Nav1.8 provides the Navs required for sustained action potential discharge. +More than 70% of the current is the main contributor to the rising phase of the action potential. The effectiveness of Nav1.8 as an analgesic target has been verified by genetic, animal model and clinical studies: (1) At the genetic level, human genetic studies have shown that Nav1.8 gain-of-function mutations lead to small fiber neuralgia and erythematous pain, while in rodents, knocking out or knocking down the Nav1.8 channel gene can relieve various inflammatory pain and neuralgia; (2) Nav1.8 inhibitors have significant efficacy in pain animal models. Abbott's A-803467 showed an analgesic effect of more than 50% compared with the model group in carrageenan model, complete Freund's adjuvant model, chronic sciatic nerve compression pain model, spinal nerve ligation pain model and acute mechanical pain model, while Pfizer's PF-01247324 also showed significant pain relief effect in complete Freund's adjuvant model and spinal nerve ligation pain model; (3) Clinical studies have also proven that Nav1.8 is the most effective analgesic target for analgesia. V Nav1.8 inhibitors are effective analgesics, as evidenced by the fact that Vertex's selective Nav1.8 inhibitor, VX-150, met its primary clinical endpoints in three Phase II proof-of-concept (PoC) studies, including those for acute and chronic pain. Furthermore, multiple clinical trials of its next-generation candidate drug, VX-548, have also yielded positive results. These studies strongly demonstrate that Nav1.8 is an effective analgesic target.

[0005]

[0006] However, currently reported small-molecule Nav1.8 inhibitors have significant shortcomings and require further improvement to deliver maximum clinical benefits to patients. First-generation Nav inhibitors, such as A-803467, PF-04531083, VX-150, VX-128, and VX-961, suffer from low activity, poor subtype selectivity, poor pharmacokinetic properties, and low oral bioavailability. Second-generation inhibitor VX-548 also exhibits significant shortcomings in metabolic properties; it is metabolized extremely rapidly in male rats, resulting in very low drug exposure. Furthermore, VX-548 exhibits moderate analgesic activity in animals, requiring further enhancement. These factors may limit the potential clinical application of VX-548, especially given that the majority of participants in its Phase II and III clinical trials were female. Therefore, developing Nav1.8 inhibitors with stronger analgesic activity, higher selectivity, and particularly superior metabolic properties (higher drug exposure) is of great value. Summary of the Invention

[0276] Biological evaluation

[0277] Test Example 1: Nav1.8 Manual Patch Clamp Test

[0278] Experimental objective: To test the inhibitory / blocking activity of the compounds of this invention on sodium ion channel 1.8 (Nav1.8).

[0279] Detection method: Whole-cell manual patch-clamp technique was used to detect the effect of compounds on the Nav1.8 channel current.

[0280] 1. Preparation and analysis of the detected compounds

[0281] Control: Electrophysiological extracellular fluid containing 0.5% DMSO

[0282] Test Compound: Weigh a certain mass of the compound and dissolve it in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to prepare a 20 mM DMSO stock solution. On the day of testing, serially dilute the 20 mM stock solution with extracellular fluid to the final concentration required for detection, ensuring that the DMSO content in the test drug solution does not exceed 0.5%. This concentration of DMSO has no effect on the detected Nav1.8 channel current. For example, to prepare 100 nM and 1 μM compound solutions, the serial dilution method is as follows: First, add 5 μL of the DMSO stock solution to 10 mL of extracellular fluid and dissolve thoroughly to obtain a 10 μM compound solution; then, add 1 mL of the 10 μM compound to 9 mL of extracellular fluid and dissolve thoroughly to obtain a 1 μM compound solution; finally, add 1 mL of the 1 μM compound to 9 mL of extracellular fluid and dissolve thoroughly to obtain a 100 nM compound solution.

[0283] All positive controls in this experiment used VX-150, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 33.45 ± 0.86 nM, consistent with the results reported in the original literature. The negative control used in this experiment was extracellular fluid containing 0.5% DMSO, with a channel current change ≤5% 10 minutes after administration.

[0284] 2. Cell Culture

[0285] (1) Nav1.8 cell line: HEK293 (Flp-In T-Rex-293) cells that stably express human Nav1.8 sodium channel, with the following encoding gene information: NM_001293306.2.

[0286] (2) Culture and passage conditions and methods: Nav1.8 cell lines were cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 37℃ and 5% CO2. Stable Nav1.8 cells were cultured in complete medium containing 10% tetracycline-free fetal bovine serum (HyClone) and 100 μg / mL Hygromycin B in DMEM (Gibco) high glucose. The day before the experiment, when the cells reached approximately 90% confluence, they were digested and passaged. The medium was first aspirated, and the cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) preheated to 37℃. After discarding the PBS buffer, trypsin was added for digestion, and the cells were transferred to centrifuge tubes. The cells were centrifuged at 800 rpm for 3 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in complete medium containing 1 μg / mL Doxcycline. The cells were then passaged into 6-well plates and induced for 20 hours. After 20 hours of induction culture, the cells were isolated and passaged into coverslips coated with poly-L-lysine and cultured for another 1-2 hours before being used for electrophysiological recording experiments.

[0287] 3. Electrophysiological experiments

[0288] (1) The Nav1.8 channel current was recorded at room temperature (23-25℃) using whole-cell voltage clamp technique.

[0289] (2) Whole-cell voltage-clamp recording experiments were performed using an Axon patch 700B patch-clamp amplifier (Molecular Devices), a Digidata 1440A digital-to-analog converter (Molecular Devices), and glass microelectrodes were drawn from glass electrode blanks (World Precision Instruments) using a drawing machine (P97, Sutter). The tip resistance after perfusion with electrode fluid was approximately 1.5-2.5 MΩ. The glass microelectrodes were connected to the patch-clamp amplifier by inserting them into the amplifier probe. Clamp voltage and data recording were controlled and recorded by computer using pClamp 10 software (Molecular Devices), with a sampling frequency of 20 kHz and a filtering frequency of 2 kHz.

[0290] (3) Extracellular and intracellular fluids used in electrophysiological experiments:

[0291] Extracellular fluid formulation (mM): 140 NaCl, 3 KCl, 1 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, 10 HEPES and 20 Glucose, adjusted to pH 7.3 with NaOH.

[0292] Intracellular fluid formulation (mM): 140 CsF, 10 NaCl, 10 HEPES, 1.1 EGTA and 20 Glucose, pH adjusted to 7.3 with CsOH.

[0293] (4) Electrophysiological stimulation protocol: After obtaining whole-cell recordings, hold the cells at -80mV for 4-5 minutes until the intracellular fluid and electrode fluid reach equilibrium, then begin electrophysiological recording. Current stimulation and compound activity assay protocol: Hold the cells at -80mV, apply a 20ms depolarization voltage of +10mV, then repolarize to -80mV at a stimulation frequency of 0.5Hz. Once the Nav1.8 sodium channel current is stable (approximately 1 minute), begin the drug administration process until the cell current no longer changes (compound inhibition reaches steady state). Test at least 3 cells (n≥3) for each compound concentration. After all compounds are tested, administer a single concentration of 1nMVX-548 as a positive control.

[0294] 4. Data Analysis

[0295] Data acquisition, analysis, and processing were performed using pClamp10 (Molecular Devices), GraphPad Prism 5 (GraphPad Software), and Excel (Microsoft). All data are expressed as mean ± standard error (Mean ± SEM). The effect of the compound on the current was calculated using the following formula:

[0296] Inhibition rate (%) = [1 - magnitude of current after drug administration (I)] Drug ) / Magnitude of current before drug administration (I) Control )]×100.

[0304] Test Example 2: Sodium Ion Channel Subtype Inhibition Test

[0305] Inhibition of sodium ion channel 1.5 (Nav1.5) by compounds may cause cardiac side effects. This study tests and evaluates the selectivity of the compounds of the present invention for Nav1.5.

[0306] Nav1.5 cell line: CHL (Chinese hamster lung cells) cells that stably express the human Nav1.5 sodium channel, with the following encoding gene information: NM_198056.2.

[0307] Culture and passage conditions and methods: Nav1.5 stable transgenic cells were cultured in DMEM (Gibco) high-glucose complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and 500 μg / mL G418 (Invitrogen). The day before the experiment, when cells reached approximately 90% confluence, they were digested and passaged. The medium was first aspirated, and the cells were washed with pre-warmed phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 37°C. After discarding the PBS, trypsin was added for digestion, and the cells were transferred to centrifuge tubes. The supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in complete medium containing 1 μg / mL doxcycline. The cells were then passaged into 6-well plates and induced for 20 hours. Afterward, the cells were isolated and passaged into poly-L-lysine-coated coverslips and cultured for another 1-2 hours before being used for electrophysiological recording experiments.

[0308] The testing conditions were the same as those for Nav1.8 in Test Example 1, and the test results are shown in Table 3.

[0312] As shown in Table 3, the compounds of this invention have excellent selectivity (thousands of times) for the sodium ion channel Navl.5, which may cause cardiac side effects, far superior to the compound VX-150 in the Phase II clinical trial. Therefore, it is expected that they will show better safety in clinical trials.

[0313] Test Example 3: hERG Suppression Test

[0314] (1) Cell culture and compound preparation

[0315] hERG-CHO cells were cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 until they reached a maximum confluence of 70-80%. The culture medium (F-12 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 μg / mL G418, and 100 μg / mL hygromycin B) was then discarded, and the cells were washed with 7 mL of phosphate-buffered saline. They were then dissociated in a 37°C incubator for 3 minutes with 3 mL of dissociation reagent, and resuspended in 7 mL of serum-free medium. Finally, the cells were harvested by centrifugation at 800 rpm and adjusted to a concentration of 2-5 × 10⁶ / mL for subsequent automated Qpatch 16X experiments.

[0316] (2) Preparation of compounds.

[0317] First, 10 μL of the stock solution of the compound (20 mM) was added to 4990 μL of extracellular fluid. Then, the extracellular fluid containing 0.2% DMSO was serially diluted 3-fold using a Bravo instrument to obtain 6 test concentrations: 40, 13.33, 4.44, 1.48, 0.49, and 0.16 μM, where the DMSO content did not exceed 0.2%, and this concentration had no effect on the hERG potassium channel.

[0318] (3) Electrophysiological recording process

[0319] The Qpatch 16X fully automated patch-clamp assay was performed. The Qpatch instrument automatically performed single-cell high-impedance sealing and whole-cell pattern formation. After obtaining the whole-cell recording pattern, the cells were clamped at -80 mV. A -50 mV pre-voltage for 50 mV was applied, followed by repolarization to -50 mV for 5 seconds, then back to -80 mV. This voltage stimulation was applied every 15 seconds. A +40 mV depolarization stimulus was then applied for 5 seconds. The assay started at the lowest test concentration of the drug, with each assay lasting 2.5 minutes. At least three cells (n≥3) were tested for each concentration. Cisapride was used as a positive control compound. The test results are shown in Table 4.

[0322] Inhibition of hERG potassium channels may cause cardiac-related side effects in clinical practice. As shown in Table 4, the compounds of this invention do not inhibit hERG potassium channels and exhibit excellent off-target selectivity, indicating a very low likelihood of causing cardiotoxicity.

[0323] Test Example 4: Rat Pharmacokinetic Properties of Compounds

[0324] 1. Experimental methods and conditions: Male SD rats, 3 rats per group, were fasted for 12 hours before the gavage experiment, but allowed free access to water. They were fed uniformly 4 hours after administration of the drug. For intravenous administration, the rats were not fasted.

[0325] The intravenous solvent is 5% DMSO / 10% HS15 / 10% EtOH / 75% physiological saline (volume ratio), with a dosage of 1 mg / kg and an administration volume of 5 mL / kg; the oral solvent is 0.5% CMC-Na (mass fraction), with a dosage of 5 mg / kg and an administration volume of 10 mL / kg.

[0326] 2. Sampling Information: At 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10, and 24 hours after gavage administration, 0.2 mL of blood was collected via the jugular vein and placed in EDTA-K2 tubes. After collection, the whole blood was temporarily stored in an ice-water bath and centrifuged at 11000 rpm for 5 min within 30 min to separate the plasma. The plasma was then frozen at -70℃ for analysis. At 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10, and 24 hours after intravenous administration, 0.2 mL of blood was collected via the jugular vein and placed in EDTA-K2 tubes. After collection, the whole blood was temporarily stored in an ice-water bath and centrifuged at 11000 rpm for 5 min within 30 min to separate the plasma. The plasma was then frozen at -70℃ for analysis. Ice-water bath operation was used. The concentration of the original drug in the samples was quantitatively determined using LC-MS / MS.

[0327] 3. Detection Information: The concentrations of the parent drug in rat / mouse plasma after intravenous administration and gavage administration of the test compound were determined using LC / MS / MS. The plasma pharmacokinetic parameters of the compound in rats were calculated using WinNonlin software under both administration routes, and the bioavailability of the compound in rats was calculated. max The measured maximum blood drug concentration is given by the area under the blood drug concentration-time curve, AUC(0→t), which is calculated using the trapezoidal method. T max The time to peak plasma concentration is given by F / %, which represents oral bioavailability. The results are shown in Table 5 below.

[0328] Table 5. Pharmacokinetic parameters

[0329]

[0330] Pharmacokinetic studies showed that the compounds of this invention exhibited excellent pharmacokinetic properties in rats, significantly superior to VX-548 (the only marketed Nav1.8 inhibitor), a representative second-generation Nav1.8 inhibitor. Table 5 data indicates that the compounds of this invention were well absorbed orally. At the same dose, the drug exposure of compound 25 after oral administration was more than 10 times that of VX-548, with nearly 3 times higher oral bioavailability and a nearly 5-fold longer half-life. In contrast, the drug exposure of compound 30 after oral administration was more than 23 times that of the same dose of VX-548.

[0331] The above pharmacokinetic results indicate that the compounds of the present invention have significantly better pharmacokinetic properties (longer half-life, greater drug exposure, and higher oral bioavailability) than VX-548, a representative second-generation Nav1.8 inhibitor. They are expected to provide patients with greater and more sustained clinical analgesic benefits. Therefore, the novel substituted benzimidazole derivatives of the present invention have significant advantages and better clinical application prospects in the preparation of drugs for the treatment, relief, or prevention of diseases related to the Nav1.8 channel.

[0332] Test Example 5: Analgesic effect of the compound in a rat incision pain model

[0333] The SD rats used in this embodiment of the invention were purchased from Zhejiang Vital River Co., Ltd.

[0334] Establishment of a rat model of postoperative pain: Male rats weighing 200–220 g were used. Rats were anesthetized with isoflurane, and their right hind paw was fixed and wiped with povidone-iodine. At a distance of 1 cm from the heel, the skin and fascia of the foot were longitudinally incised with a scalpel. The toe muscles were lifted with forceps and longitudinally incised 1 cm with a scalpel. The skin was then sutured with 4-0 sutures. 0.3 mL of 25% penicillin was injected intraperitoneally to prevent infection.

[0335] Behavioral testing in rats: Von Frey behavioral tests were performed one day after modeling. Baseline thresholds were first measured after modeling, and rats with a paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) greater than 4g were excluded.

[0336] Experimental group: administered via gavage (solvent: 20% PEG400 + 10% PG + 10% Kolliphor HS15 + 60% double-distilled water, volume ratio), 6-7 rats, tested at 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours after administration. Vehicle group: administered via gavage, 6 rats. Sham group (sham operation group), 9 rats. Each rat was placed in an independent glass partition on a wire mesh for 15 minutes to acclimatize. At the start of the test, the middle of the paw pad of the right paw of the rat was stimulated with fibers of 0.4, 0.6, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 15 g respectively until the rat withdrew its paw. The response corresponding to each fiber was recorded, and the PWT of each rat was calculated. The area under the curve (AUC, g·h) was calculated using Graph software based on the PWT-time curve, and the percentage of maximum possible effect (%MPE) was calculated from the AUC value. The formula is: %MPE = (AUC / g·h) / (G / h) * ... 实验组 -AUC vehicle ) / (AUC Sham -AUC vehicle The results are shown in Table 6 and appendix. Figure 1 As shown.

[0337] Table 6. Results of in vivo drug efficacy evaluation in rats with postoperative pain model

[0338]

[0339] Table 6 shows that the compounds of this invention have significant analgesic effects in a rat postoperative pain model, exhibiting a clear dose-response relationship. Compound 25, at the same dose, showed twice the analgesic effect of VX-548, significantly outperforming VX-548, which may be attributed to the superior metabolic properties of compound 25. In conclusion, this experiment demonstrates that the compounds of this invention can be used to treat postoperative pain. Test Example 6: Analgesic effect of the compound in a humanized mouse postoperative pain model

[0340] In this embodiment of the invention, the humanized mice were constructed by Beijing Biosetu Co., Ltd., and bred and raised in the animal facility of the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

[0341] Construction of a humanized mouse model of postoperative pain: Half male and half female mice, weighing 22–28 g. Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, their right hind paw was fixed, and wiped with povidone-iodine. At a distance of 0.5 cm from the heel, the skin and fascia of the foot were longitudinally incised with a scalpel. The toe muscles were lifted with forceps, and a 0.5 cm longitudinal incision was made with a scalpel. The skin was then sutured with 6-0 sutures. 0.2 mL of 25% penicillin was injected intraperitoneally to prevent infection.

[0342] Humanized mouse behavioral testing: Von Frey behavioral tests were performed one day after modeling. The baseline thresholds after modeling were first measured, and mice with a paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) greater than 0.4g were screened out.

[0343] Experimental group: Mice were administered the drug via gavage (solvent: 20% PEG400 + 10% PG + 10% Kolliphor HS15 + 60% double-distilled water, volume ratio), and tests were conducted at 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours post-administration. Vehicle group: The drug was administered via gavage. Sham group: 5-7 mice per group. Each mouse was placed in an independent glass partition on a wire mesh for 15 minutes to acclimatize. At the start of the test, the middle of the paw pad on the right side of the mouse was stimulated with 0.02, 0.04, 0.07, 0.16, 0.4, 0.6, 1, and 1.4 g of fiber filaments until the mouse withdrew its paw. The response corresponding to each fiber filament was recorded, and the PWT (partial total weight) of each mouse was calculated. The area under the curve (AUC, g·h) is calculated using Graph software based on the PWT-time curve. Then, the percentage of maximum possible effect (%MPE) is calculated from the AUC value. The formula is: %MPE = (AUC / (g·h)) 实验组 -AUC vehicle ) / (AUC Sham -AUC vehicle The results are shown in Table 7 and appendix. Figure 2 As shown.

[0344] Table 7. Results of in vivo drug efficacy evaluation in rats with postoperative pain model

[0345]

[0346] From Table 7 and Appendix Figure 2 It is evident that the compounds of this invention exhibit extremely strong analgesic effects in a humanized mouse postoperative pain model, with a clear dose-response relationship. The analgesic activity of compound 25 is significantly higher than that of VX-548; at the same dose, the analgesic activity of compound 25 is at least twice that of VX-548. This experiment demonstrates that the analgesic effect of the compounds of this invention is significantly superior to that of VX-548.
