Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to a novel phenylspirocyclohexane compound and its pharmaceutical composition, specifically to a Cebranopadol analog with excellent water solubility and stability. Background Technology
[0002] The discovery of novel prodrugs has become an indispensable part of the current pharmaceutical industry. Prodrugs are alternative forms of drugs used to improve the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties of drugs. Prodrugs are administered in an inactive or less active form and are subsequently converted into their active form through the subject's normal metabolic processes, such as hydrolysis or other chemical reactions.
[0003] Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, or a similar experience, associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Opioid analgesics are currently recognized as the most effective analgesics for moderate to severe pain, and are recognized by the World Health Organization as standard medications in the three-step analgesic ladder for cancer pain management, as well as first-line drugs for controlling acute pain. Traditional opioids are the most effective analgesics, but their abuse is the most challenging issue. Ideally, opioid analgesics should target pain tissue, act only on pain pathways without activating addiction pathways, and simultaneously alleviate the negative emotions induced by pain. Therefore, scientists have dedicated themselves to the research of low-addiction opioid analgesics from all fields of pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacology.
[0004] 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, WO 2012 / 016703, WO 2012 / 016699, WO 2012 / 016695, WO 2012 / 016698, WO 2012 / 016697, WO 2013 / 007361) developed by Grundenthal. Its structural formula is as follows: , Cebranopadol demonstrated potent anti-nociceptive and anti-hypersensitivity effects in several rat models of acute and chronic pain, with ED50 values of 0.5-5.6 μg / kg after intravenous administration and 25.1 μg / kg after oral administration. Compared with selective MOP receptor agonists, cebranopadol was more effective in chronic neuropathic pain models than in acute nociceptive pain models.
[0005] Physicochemical properties, therapeutic effective dose, and route of administration all affect the pharmacokinetic characteristics of drug molecules. The therapeutic effective dose of a particular drug is fixed. Nevertheless, changing the route of administration may reduce the drug dose if a new route provides higher bioavailability. For example, given suitable physicochemical properties, a drug with poor oral bioavailability and requiring a high dose can be formulated for lower parenteral administration due to its improved bioavailability. However, different routes of administration are generally only possible when the physicochemical properties of a given drug molecule are suitable for a new dosage form. The physicochemical composition of many existing drugs limits their oral administration, resulting in high doses and unfavorable pharmacokinetic characteristics. Therefore, efforts have been made to modify the physicochemical properties of existing drugs and / or their formulations.
[0006] Drugs with poor solubility often exhibit poor bioavailability, which can hinder drug development and necessitate high doses to achieve therapeutically effective blood levels. For example, Tricor® (fenofibrate) is marketed as 300 mg capsules. Reducing the particle size to a fine powder increases drug solubility and allows for dose reductions down to 200 mg. With the addition of surfactants to the fine powder, formulations similar to the 300 mg and 200 mg doses can be obtained using only 160 mg tablets. Another bioequivalent formulation containing drug nanoparticles allows for an effective dose of 145 mg. Thus, by increasing its solubility, Tricor® significantly reduces the dose (by more than 100%), thereby improving bioavailability. However, while there are examples demonstrating that particle size reduction improves solubility, the inherent conditions of oral administration (e.g., the limited aqueous medium in the gastrointestinal tract) may limit improvements in the solubility and bioavailability of certain drugs.
[0007] Another technique for increasing solubility is to form molecular complexes with insoluble / poorly soluble drugs and more soluble molecules, such as cyclodextrin. Itraconazole (Sporanox®), voriconazole (Vfend®), and ziprasidone (Geodon®) are examples of successful applications of this technique. However, this application typically requires a large excess of cyclodextrin relative to the amount of drug being dissolved and may not provide the desired increase in solubility for the entire drug sample (e.g., 10 mg of itraconazole, 200 mg of voriconazole, or 20 mg of ziprasidone require 400 mg, 3200 mg, or 294 mg of cyclodextrin, respectively).
[0008] While the importance of discovering new drugs cannot be overstated, the ability to improve the physicochemical properties of existing drugs is also beneficial. Therefore, there remains a significant and unmet need for improved drugs, such as prodrugs of existing drugs.
[0009] WO2013 / 007361 discloses the crystalline polymorphs of cebranopadol and cebranopadol solvates, which can be distinguished by X-ray diffraction. It further reports that the crystalline polymorphs can interconvert, for example, in the presence of a solvent or upon application of heat or mechanical energy. However, this behavior (the occurrence of morphological changes) can be detrimental, for example, for dosage forms such as tablets, as it can lead to solid-state changes in the dosage form, typically resulting in different solubility and pharmacokinetic properties. Therefore, such changes may require strict temperature control of the dosage form, especially in summer. Furthermore, this solid-state change can lead to regulatory and commercial disadvantages.
[0010] Furthermore, cebranopadol has been reported to have poor solubility, requiring very small doses. The oral bioavailability of cebranopadol is only 13–23% (J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2014, 349, 535–548). However, due to its low water solubility, cebranopadol suffers from inadequate intestinal absorption, limiting its dosage forms and routes of administration. Although efforts have been made to address these issues, such as the fat emulsion administration of cebranopadol (CN115813856) and compositions containing soluble cebranopadol (EP3253374), the dosage forms and routes of administration for cebranopadol remain limited in this application.
[0011] The prior art compounds in these references do not contain methyl dihydrogen phosphate (or phosphate, monoester, or diester group) or methyl diacid (diacid monoester or monosalt) groups linked to N-1 nitrogen; therefore, the compounds of this invention represent novel material components. The applicant's application 202511687899.3 is incorporated herein by reference. This part dramatically increases the utility of the parent compound through prodrug modification, which dramatically increases the maximum systemic exposure of the parent molecule in preclinical human exposure models. The inventors believe that no substance in the prior art references can be considered as a disclosure or indication of the invention of a novel compound and its use in the treatment of pain.
[0012] This invention describes specific azaindole prodrugs that are highly effective in improving the oral efficacy of parent molecules used as pain medications, particularly centrally active analgesics. The parent molecules are relatively insoluble and subject to dissolution-limited or solubility-absorption-limited conditions, meaning that as the dose increases beyond a maximum level, less and less drug dissolves and is absorbed into the circulation; instead, it is eliminated from the body as waste. Improvements must be provided by prodrugs because they significantly increase drug levels in the body, thus providing greater efficacy against dual nociceptor / orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) receptors and μ-opioid peptide (MOP) receptors (dual NMR) agonists. Therefore, the highest exposure fold is required. Because using prodrugs allows for greater drug absorption to the target, drug burden, patient costs, and dosing intervals can be reduced. Prodrugs with these properties are difficult to identify; successful prodrug designs disclosed in the literature are neither straightforward nor have feasible clarification pathways. There is no clear explanation of existing techniques regarding which prodrug chemistry is most effective. The following discussion and data will demonstrate that the prodrugs described in this invention have unexpectedly good effects. They release the parent drug very rapidly and efficiently, increasing exposure levels higher than many reported prodrugs.
[0013] In certain circumstances, prodrug strategies or methods can be used to significantly enhance drug efficacy by improving drug properties or overcoming inherent pharmacological or pharmacokinetic defects. Prodrugs differ from formulations because chemical modifications result in entirely new chemical entities that, when administered to a patient, regenerate the parent molecule in vivo. Numerous prodrug strategies exist that provide conditions for modulating the regeneration of the parent drug, the physical, pharmacological, or pharmacokinetic properties of the prodrug, and functional groups that can be linked to prodrug modifications. However, none of these publications teaches the methods used to produce the specific prodrugs invented herein. Numerous reviews and discussions on prodrug strategies have been published; the following is an incomplete list: 1) Phosphate moiety in FDA-approved pharmaceutical salts and Prodrugs: Drug DevRes. 2022;83:1059–1074; 2) FimH Antagonists - Phosphate Prodrugs Improve Oral Bioavailability. J. Med. Chem, 2016:1-86; While some techniques are known to have specific applications, such as improving solubility or absorption, prodrug development remains largely empirical. Therefore, it is often necessary to study numerous strategies or chemical modifications and evaluate the resulting compounds in biological models to determine and measure the success of prodrug strategies.

Then 440.00g of anhydrous sodium sulfate was added. The reaction was carried out at 25–35°C for 24 hours. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was filtered, the filtrate was concentrated to dryness, and 220 ml of isopropyl ether was added twice to obtain 230.00 g of black oily substance (intermediate one).
[0036] Add 1000 ml of lithium phenylene solution (1.5 M n-butyl ether solution) to a 3000 ml reaction flask, cool to 0–5 °C, and protect under nitrogen. Then, dissolve 230.00 g of intermediate one in 440 ml of dibutyl ether and slowly add the solution dropwise to the reaction flask, ensuring the addition temperature does not exceed 20 °C, under nitrogen protection. After the addition is complete, heat to room temperature (25–30 °C) and stir for 1 hour. After the reaction is complete, wash once with 440 ml of saturated ammonium chloride solution, wash three times with 440 ml x 3 ml of water, concentrate to dryness at 90 °C, and wash once with 220 ml of isopropanol. Cool to room temperature and dissolve completely in 220 ml of isopropanol. Adjust the pH to 3–4 with 25% isopropanol hydrochloride solution. The mixture was cooled to 0–5 °C and allowed to crystallize for 1 hour. It was then filtered, washed with cold isopropanol (0.5 V), washed with methyl tert-ethyl ether (1.0 V), and dried at 60 °C to give 131.00 g of white solid (intermediate II). The total yield of the two steps was 32.77%.

The organic phase was washed once with 700 ml of 5% sodium chloride solution. The organic phase was concentrated to dryness, and 600 ml of toluene and 250 ml of water were added and stirred until the layers separated; the aqueous phase was discarded. The organic phase was concentrated to remove half of the solid, cooled to 0–5 °C, and crystallized for 5 hours.

[0150] Test Example 2: pKa2 determination of compound I-1.
[0151] In solution, depending on pH, compound I-1 will exist in a diacidic, monobasic, or dibasic state, as represented by the following formula. The pharmaceutical relevance of pKa1 is limited because most physiologically acceptable solutions at these pH values will ensure the ionization of diacidic substances.

Therefore, within a pharmaceutically relevant pH range, compound I-1 will exist in a balance between monobasic and dibasic states.
[0152]

[0155] The pKa2 of compound I-1 is approximately 6.54, indicating that at a physiological pH of 7.4, compound I-1 will exist primarily as a diion, thus ensuring high solubility.
[0156] Test Example 3: Chemical Stability.
[0157] Following oral administration, compounds I-1 and I-7 are exposed to a wide pH range in the gastrointestinal tract, being acidic in the stomach and neutral in the colon. Furthermore, hydrolytic enzymes are present in the body, such as pepsin and pancreatic enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract. These enzymes have natural digestive functions, serving as digestive agents for large molecules used as nutrients, but they can also bind to and hydrolyze drug compounds. Therefore, compounds I-1 and I-7 must possess a certain degree of stability.
[0158] 1. Stability at different pH levels.
[0159] Following the steps in the 2025 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, hydrochloric acid solutions with pH 1.2 and phosphate buffer solutions with pH 4.5, 6.8, and 7.4 were prepared and refrigerated for later use. Compounds I-1 and I-7 were accurately weighed and dissolved separately in ultrapure water using ultrasonication to obtain 1.0 mg / mL solutions of compounds I-1 and I-7. 0.1 mL of each (1.0 mg / mL) solution was added to a 10 mL volumetric flask using a pipette, and then diluted with hydrochloric acid and phosphate buffer solutions of different pH values. The volumetric flasks were incubated at 37°C in a water bath, and samples were taken periodically, filtered through a filter membrane, and then injected for analysis. The peak areas of compounds I-1 and I-7 were measured by HPLC, and the degradation rate constants were calculated using a first-order kinetic model.

[0163] Accurately weigh compounds I-1 and I-7, dissolve them in ultrapure water, and dilute to obtain a 0.2 mg / mL solution of compounds I-1 and I-7 for later use. Dilute the prodrug solution with prepared artificial gastric and small intestinal fluids, following the same steps as above. Calculate the stability of compounds I-1 and I-7 in artificial small intestinal and gastric fluids using HPLC analysis.

Both solutions were rapidly administered to female rats via the tail vein at a dose of 0.5 mg cerebranopadol per kilogram of body weight. Jugular venous blood was collected periodically under mild ether anesthesia, and serum cerebranopadol concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results are shown below. Figure 9 When compounds I-1 and I-7 were injected, Cebranopadol was detected in vivo in 3 minutes after the injection of compound I-1, and in 7 minutes after the injection of compound I-7, indicating that compounds I-1 and I-7 can be rapidly converted into Cebranopadol.

[0182] Test Example 6: Toxicity detection of Caco-2 cells.
[0183] The Caco-2 cell line, derived from human colon cancer, can spontaneously differentiate into epithelial cells under appropriate culture conditions, forming absorptive intestinal cells with typical morphology. Their morphology and permeability are similar to intestinal epithelial cells, and they express various active transport proteins, including amino acid transporters and P-gp efflux pump proteins. This model effectively simulates in vivo intestinal tissue absorption and is now widely used in studies of oral drug absorption. The MTT assay is a commonly used method to detect the influence 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. Its detection principle is that succinate dehydrogenase present in the mitochondria of living cells can reduce MTT to formazan, a blue-purple crystal that is insoluble in water and deposits in the cell; dead cells do not have this function. Formazan is dissolved in DMSO solution, and then 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 living cells is directly proportional to the amount of formazan formed. The experimental group's viable cell count can be indirectly reflected by comparing it with the control group's values. The specific experimental steps are as follows: 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; 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. 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 and I-7 to each well. The final concentrations of Cebranopadol and its compounds I-1 and I-7 in each experimental group were 1.92, 15.47, 61.75, 123.5, 247, and 494 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. 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. 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. 6) Use an ELISA reader to detect the absorbance (OD) value of each well at a wavelength of 490 nm, and calculate the cell inhibition rate of each experimental group.
[0184] The results showed that after 4 hours of treatment with Cebranopadol and its compounds I-1 and I-7 at concentrations of 1.92, 15.47, 61.75, 123.5, 247, and 494 μmol / L, the survival rate of Caco-2 cells remained above 90%, indicating that the drugs had almost no toxic effects on the cells within this uptake time and concentration range.
