Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, specifically to a phenylspirocyclohexane long-acting ester derivative, its preparation method, and its uses. Background Technology
[0002] Prodrugs, the active pharmaceutical ingredients of a drug, typically undergo biotransformation in vivo to release the active drug. The use of prodrugs offers several advantages in drug development and therapy. Prodrugs can improve drug bioavailability by enhancing the drug's solubility, stability, and absorption. This can lead to better therapeutic outcomes and more predictable drug delivery. Furthermore, prodrugs can be designed to minimize side effects by targeting the release of the drug to specific tissues or cells. This targeted delivery helps reduce the exposure of non-target tissues to the active drug, thereby reducing adverse reactions. Additionally, prodrugs can improve the chemical stability of the drug, leading to better formulation and storage.
[0003] An important aspect of prodrug development includes prolonging the duration of action: prodrugs can be designed to prolong or sustain the release of the active drug, resulting in a more durable therapeutic effect and potentially reducing the frequency of dosing. A significant benefit may be improved patient compliance or increased patient acceptance, leading to better adherence to medication regimens. Furthermore, it can simplify medication regimens and reduce the burden of medication use.
[0004] Despite these advantages, the design and development of prodrugs requires a thorough understanding of the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and metabolism of the parent drug. Furthermore, the chemical structure of the parent drug itself can severely limit the design and feasibility of prodrugs.
[0005] The recently developed Cebranopadol (GRT-6500) (trans-6′-fluoro-4′,9′-dihydro-N,N-dimethyl-4-phenylspiro[cyclohexane-1,1′-(3′H)-pyran[3,4-b]indole]-4-amine) is an analgesic nociceptin / orphanone FQ peptide (NOP) and opioid receptor agonist (WO 2004 / 043967, WO 2008 / 040481, WO2012 / 016703, WO 2012 / 016699, WO 2012 / 016695, WO 2012 / 016698, WO 2012 / 016697, WO2013 / 007361) developed by Grundenthal. Its structural formula is as follows:
[0006] ,
[0007] Cebranopadol exhibits potent analgesic effects in various rat models of acute and chronic pain, including tail-flicking, rheumatoid arthritis, bone cancer, spinal cord ligation, and diabetic neuropathy, with potency 100–1000 times greater than morphine. In these rat models of neuropathic pain, the analgesic effect of cebranopadol is co-mediated by NOPR and classical opioid receptors. Pharmacokinetic studies show that cebranopadol has a half-life of 4.5 h in rats and an oral bioavailability of 13–23% [J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2014, 349, 535-548]. In non-human primates, cebranopadol's analgesic effect is 5 times that of fentanyl, with an analgesic ED... 50 Ten times the recommended dose does not affect respiratory function. Cebranopadol is addictive, but less so than fentanyl, suggesting a potential for abuse [Anesthesiology. 2021, 135, 482-493]. Currently, cebranopadol is in clinical development in various dosage forms, including oral, immediate-release, and film-coated tablets. In rat tail-flick experiments, intravenous administration of 12 μg / kg cebranopadol provided analgesia for approximately 7 hours; however, severe pain typically could not be relieved in such a short time.
[0008] Therefore, any improvement in prolonging the duration of action of cerebranopadol would be a major breakthrough in medicine, while also providing a more economical treatment system. Prodrug approaches are widely used to prolong the duration of action of rapidly eliminated drugs. Clinically successful examples include haloperidol decanoate, zuclothiasol decanoate, fluphenazine decanoate, paliperidone palmitate, and aripiprazole lauroyl. Broekkamp, C. Letal. (J. Pharm. Pharmacol, Vol. 40, 434, 1988) proposed a long-acting mechanism of action for ester-form prodrugs. They are esterified with fatty acids of varying carbon numbers, leading to increased lipophilicity of the prodrug. Therefore, when the prodrug is injected intramuscularly, the release rate decreases, and the duration of action is prolonged. Ester-form prodrugs are hydrolyzed in vivo by esterases, resulting in an increase in the parent compound. Esterases are present in many tissues and organs, such as blood, brain, liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, and muscles. It has been reported that ester prodrugs and parent compounds have the same pharmacological effects and safety profiles (Gelders, Y. Get al., Int. Clin. Psychopharmacol, Vol. 1, 1, 1986). Summary of the Invention
[0009] This invention modifies the structure of phenylspirocyclohexane to prepare a prodrug with long-acting properties. This type of drug is formulated into a preparation suitable for intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous injection. After intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous injection, it forms a drug reservoir in the body, from which the drug is slowly, continuously, and stably released and converted into phenylspirocyclohexane, thereby exerting a long-acting effect. Specifically, it aims to provide a Cebranopadol ester with a longer duration of action and the same activity as Cebranopadol, thereby expanding its clinical application for patients affected by severe pain.

[0025] .
[0026] According to the present invention, the synthetic compounds of Formula I or their solvates can be formulated into various pharmaceutical preparations to provide a long-lasting therapeutic effect. In this regard, the phenylspirocyclohexane ester derivatives of Formula I can be mixed with a selected oil carrier to form a parenteral formulation, whereby the release rate of the target drug, i.e., phenylspirocyclohexane, may be slowed down due to factors such as increased solubility of the target drug in oil. Therefore, longer dosing intervals can be set due to the prolonged duration of action of the target drug. Different dosage forms can then be formulated as needed. Suitable dosage forms for the compounds of Formula I can be oral formulations or injectable oily formulations using sesame oil, soybean oil, or peanut oil as injection carriers. Injectable oily formulations can be administered via intraventricular, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or spinal routes. Nalbuphine prodrugs can also be formulated and administered via transdermal, oral, sublingual, or local routes, such as pastes, ointments, or suppositories.
[0027] This invention provides for the use of compositions of compounds of Formula I or solvates thereof in the preparation of pain medications. The pain refers to one or more of chronic pain, nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain, malignant pain, or inflammatory pain.
[0028] The key points of this invention are:
[0029] This invention discloses a novel phenylspirocyclohexane monoester prodrug derivative, formulated into an injection solution using an oil-based carrier. Upon injection, it cleaves to release phenylspirocyclohexane and a safe and biodegradable component of hexanoic acid, decanoic acid, lauric acid, or palmitic acid. These components not only possess the potent analgesic activity of the original drug but also minimize side effects associated with traditional anesthetics, such as addiction and respiratory depression. Compared to oral phenylspirocyclohexane formulations, this invention offers significant advantages: 1) Long-acting, meaning that when administered parenterally (e.g., intramuscularly), the dosing interval can be changed from every 6 hours to several days or even longer; 2) Overcoming the low first-pass effect of oral administration, resulting in high bioavailability; 3) Caco-2 cell toxicity assays show that the compound of this invention has virtually no toxic effect on this cell type.

[0132] Example 21: Detection of toxicity in Caco-2 cells
[0133] The MTT assay is a commonly used method for detecting the impact of samples on cell survival and growth. MTT is a yellow dye, its full name being 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide. The detection principle is that succinate dehydrogenase present in the mitochondria of living cells can reduce MTT to formazan, a water-insoluble, blue-purple crystal that deposits in the cell; dead cells do not have this function. Formazan is dissolved in DMSO solution, and its absorbance is measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader at 490 nm or 570 nm. Within a certain cellular range, the number of viable cells is directly proportional to the amount of formazan formed. Referring to the values of the blank control group, the number of viable cells in the experimental group can be indirectly reflected. The specific experimental steps are as follows:
[0134] 1) Take Caco-2 cells that are in normal growth stage and in the logarithmic growth phase, digest them with trypsin to form a single cell suspension, and adjust the concentration of the Caco-2 cell suspension to 1×10⁻⁶. 4 cell / mL;
[0135] 2) Spread the cell suspension evenly into a 96 cell culture plate, add 100 μL to each well, and fill the edge wells with 100 μL of PBS buffer. Incubate the plate at 37°C in a 5% CO2 cell culture incubator.
[0136] 3) After 24 hours of culture, observe the cell state under a microscope; the cells show uniform monolayer growth. Carefully aspirate the old culture medium from each well and add different concentrations of Cebranopadol and its compounds I-1 to I-4 to each well. The final concentrations of Cebranopadol and its compounds I-1 to I-4 in each experimental group were 2.3, 18.56, 74.1, 148.2, 296.4, and 592.8 μmol / L, respectively. Each concentration group had three replicates. Control wells (containing an equal volume of Caco-2 cell suspension, without drug administration) and zeroing wells (containing no cells, no drug administration, and 100 μL of an equal volume of culture medium) were also included. The cells were then placed in a cell culture incubator for further culture.
[0137] 4) After culturing for 4 hours, discard the old culture medium, add fresh culture medium, and add 20 μL of MTT solution (5 mg / mL) to each well of the 96-well plate under dark conditions, and incubate in an incubator.
[0138] 5) After incubating for 4 h, gently remove the 96-well plate from the incubator, carefully aspirate the liquid from each well, add 150 μL of DMSO solution, and shake on a shaker at 37 °C for 10–15 min to completely dissolve the blue-purple crystals.
[0139] 6) Use an ELISA reader to measure the absorbance (OD) value of each well at a wavelength of 490 nm, and calculate the cell inhibition rate of each experimental group:
[0140] The results showed that after 4 hours of treatment with Cebranopadol and its compounds I-1 to 4 at concentrations of 2.3, 18.56, 74.1, 148.2, 296.4, and 592.8 μmol / L, the survival rate of Caco-2 cells could still reach over 80%, indicating that the drugs had almost no toxic effects on the cells within this uptake time and concentration range.
[0141] Example 22: In vivo pharmacokinetic study.
[0142] One male beagle of ordinary grade was used. The dogs were fasted for 12 hours prior to administration, but had free access to water. The formulation from Example 21 was administered intramuscularly at a dose of 0.16 mg / kg Cebranopadol (equivalent to 0.21 mg / kg, 0.24 mg / kg, 0.25 mg / kg, and 0.33 mg / kg for compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, and I-4, respectively). Blood samples (approximately 1.0 mL) were collected from the beagle's forelimb vein before administration and at 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 96, 144, and 168 hours after administration. The blood was placed in a heparinized centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, and the plasma was separated and stored at -80°C for analysis.
[0143] Plasma sample preparation: The sample was prepared in an ice bath. Take 40 μL of methanol, 15 μL of internal standard (bicalutamide 2.6 μg / mL, dissolved in 50% methanol), add 300 μL of plasma sample, vortex mix, add 5 mL of ethyl acetate, vortex mix, centrifuge at 9000g for 3 min, take the organic phase and evaporate to dryness under vacuum, redissolve in 150 μL of methanol, and inject 20 μL for analysis.
[0144] Experimental results: Pharmacokinetic curves of each formulation in beagle dogs showed that the compounds of the present invention could be released stably, achieving a long-acting release effect.
