Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist compound, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Overactivation of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) promotes pathophysiological processes associated with multiple physiological systems, including the heart, vascular system, adipose tissue, and kidneys. Evidence from animal models suggests that MR activation is an inducer of renal oxidative stress and a key mediator of renal inflammation and fibrosis. A link between MR activation and insulin resistance exists in patients with primary aldosteronism, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure. In the hypothalamus, MR activation may increase sympathetic nerve drive. Activation of the MR in vascular smooth muscle cells may contribute to vascular oxidative stress, aging, and stiffness.

[0003] Mineralocorticoids, represented by aldosterone, play a crucial role in the development of diabetic nephropathy by mediating inflammatory responses. Significantly elevated plasma aldosterone levels are frequently observed in patients with impaired renal function, suggesting their important role in the pathogenesis and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Studies have shown that abnormalities in the aldosterone-mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) signaling pathway can induce oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, further exacerbating renal hemodynamic disturbances, promoting renal cortical and medullary fibrosis, and thus causing damage to renal structure and function. Furthermore, excessive aldosterone can synergistically interact with angiotensin II (Ang II), leading to decreased vascular compliance and endothelial dysfunction, thereby inducing ventricular arrhythmias, renal fibrosis, proteinuria, and the progression of nephropathy, extensively affecting vital target organs such as the heart and kidneys. Further research has found that physiological concentrations of aldosterone can downregulate insulin receptor mRNA expression and inhibit the binding capacity of insulin in human monocyte precursor cells. In patients with primary aldosteronism, the number of insulin receptors in their adipocytes is reduced by about 34%, and the expression of insulin receptor genes is reduced by about 54%, indicating that aldosterone may also participate in glucose metabolism disorders by affecting the insulin signaling pathway.

[0004] Traditional steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, such as spironolactone and eplerenone, are widely used to treat hypertension, chronic heart failure, and primary aldosteronism. However, due to their steroidal skeletal structure, they exhibit non-specific effects on sex hormone receptors, often causing adverse reactions such as gynecomastia, sexual dysfunction, and menstrual irregularities. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetic properties and tissue selectivity of steroidal MRAs are limited, restricting their further clinical application. In contrast, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (NSAIDs) have shown better safety and efficacy. For example, Finerenone, developed by Bayer, binds more selectively to MR receptors and exhibits strong anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in kidney and heart tissues. In patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, it significantly reduces the risk of renal function deterioration and cardiovascular events, with a lower incidence of side effects, especially sex hormone-related adverse reactions. However, the variety of existing NSAIDs remains limited, and there is still a need to develop novel NSAIDs with novel structures, higher safety profiles, and stronger targeting to meet the clinical needs of treating cardiorenal and cardiovascular diseases.

[0038] Table 1 shows the target product information obtained from different aryl aldehyde substitutes, among which the structural characterization of M78 is as follows: Figures 4-6 As shown.

[0039] Table 1 Target Products Example 5: Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonistic activity test The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a member of the steroid nuclear receptor superfamily, primarily mediating hormone-induced inflammation and fibrosis, including aldosterone. MR activity can be indirectly reflected by the expression of its target genes, such as FN and COL-III. Therefore, in in vitro cell models, MR pathway activation is induced by aldosterone stimulation, followed by treatment with different test compounds to observe their inhibitory effects on downstream target protein expression, thus assessing MR antagonistic activity. Finerenone is a new generation of nonsteroidal antagonist MR antagonist; its high selectivity and low side effects make it an ideal positive control for screening MR inhibitory drugs.

[0040] NRK-52e cells were seeded in 6-well plates and pre-cultured for 24 hours in DMEM / F12 low-serum medium containing 1% fetal bovine serum after reaching 70%–80% confluence. Cells were then divided into six groups for treatment: the NC group served as a negative control, receiving no aldosterone or other drugs; the Aldo group received 150 nM aldosterone to activate the MR pathway; the Aldo (150 nM) + Fin (10 μM) group served as a positive control, receiving both aldosterone and fenelazol; and the remaining groups received 150 nM aldosterone and 10 μM of different test compounds listed in Table 1, respectively. Cells were collected after 48 hours of treatment, lysed, and total protein was extracted. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression levels of fibronectin (FN), type III collagen (COL-III), and β-actin.

[0041] Western blot results show as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, the aldosterone treatment group (Aldo group) significantly upregulated the expression of FN and COL-III, indicating successful activation of the MR pathway. The fenelazol treatment group (Aldo+Fin group) effectively inhibited the expression of the above proteins, verifying its positive control effect as an MR antagonist. Among the synthesized compounds tested, the treatment groups M29, M71, M76, M77, M78, M79, and M80 all significantly downregulated the expression levels of FN and COL-III, and some of the inhibitory effects were close to or better than the positive control fenelazol, suggesting that these compounds may have strong MR antagonistic activity. In particular, the M78 (Aldo+M78) group showed the most significant inhibition of FN and COL-III expression, performing similarly to or even slightly better than the positive control fenelazol group. β-actin expression was relatively stable, indicating that the protein loading in each group was basically consistent, and the experimental results were highly comparable.
