[0001] This application claims the benefit and priority of both U.S. Provisional Patent Applications No. 63 / 546372 and No. 63 / 546365, both filed on October 30, 2023. The contents of the aforementioned patent applications are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in the detailed description thereof. Technical Field

[0002] This specification relates to compounds that can be used to regulate cellular physiological functions and homeostasis, as well as methods of their use. Background Technology

[0003] Regulation of physiological functions and cellular homeostasis is essential for the normal development and activity of many human cell lines.

[0004] The role of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in mediating the detoxification of xenobiotic compounds was initially investigated, and the AhR is now known to play an important role in normal cell development and homeostasis. Regulation of the AhR is central to major signal transduction systems and transcriptional programs, and is essential for a variety of physiological functions (Kou Z, Dai W. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor: Its roles in physiology. Biochemical pharmacology. 2021 Mar 1; 185:114428; incorporated herein by reference).

[0005] It is known that the activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and its downstream signal transduction occur through both classical and non-classical pathways in the presence of various exogenous and endogenous ligands (Kou Z, Dai W. Aromatic hydrocarbon receptor: its role in physiology. Biochemical Pharmacology. 1 Mar 2021; 185:114428; Denison MS, Nagy SR. Activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor by structurally diverse exogenous and endogenous chemicals. Annual review of pharmacology and toxicology. 1 April 2003; 43(1):309-34; incorporated herein by reference).

[0006] The retention of inactive AhR complexes with molecular chaperones such as heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) in the cytoplasm is typical of the classical pathway. Upon activation, AhR undergoes a conformational change, releasing the receptor from the chaperone protein and subsequently translating into the nucleus. In the nucleus, AhR heterodimerizes with aryl receptor nuclear transporters (ARNTs) and then binds to xenobiotic response elements (XREs) of target genes, including cytochrome P450 superfamily enzymes Cyp1a1, Cyp1a3, and Cyp1b1, thereby regulating their expression. Thus, CYP1A1 induction has been used as a model system to define the mechanism by which AhR regulates gene expression (Denison MS, Nagy SR. Activation of aryl receptors by structurally different exogenous and endogenous chemicals. Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology. 1 April 2003;43(1):309-34; incorporated herein by reference). AhR's binding to various nuclear transcription factors may lead to non-classical signaling pathways through the binding of non-XRE deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) elements.

[0007] Activation of the AhR pathway is known to occur through a variety of synthetic ligands in nature as well as naturally occurring ligands. Most compounds that activate AhR include planar hydrophobic halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (HAHs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or their related compounds (Denison MS, Nagy SR. Activation of aromatic receptors by structurally different exogenous and endogenous chemicals. Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology. April 1, 2003; 43(1):309-34; incorporated herein by reference). Known exogenous ligands include theaflavins (epigallocatechin gallate), bacterial metabolic byproducts (including indigo), and high molecular weight aromatic hydrocarbons from coal tar (Palermo CM, Westlake CA, Gasiewicz TA. Epigallocatechin gallate inhibits aryl hydrocarbon receptor gene transcription through an indirect mechanism involving binding to a 90 kDa heat shock protein. Biochemistry. April 5, 2005; 44(13): 5041-52; Adachi J, Mori Y, Matsui S, Takigami H, Fujino J, Kitagawa H, Miller CA, Kato T, Saeki K, Matsuda T. Indigo and indigo are potent aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands present in human urine. Receptor ligands present in humanurine. Journal of Biological Chemistry. August 24, 2001; 276(34):31475-8; Furue M, Tsuji G, Mitoma C, Nakahara T, Chiba T, Morino-Koga S, Uchi H. Gene regulation of offilaggrin and other skin barrier proteins via aryl hydrocarbon receptor.Journal of Dermatological Science. November 1, 2015; 80(2):83-8; Hahn ME. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor: a comparative perspective. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Endocrinology. November 1, 1998; 121(1-3):23-53; all cited in this article). Known endogenous ligands include kynurenine, photopigment, lipoxygen A4, bilirubin, kynurenic acid, and 6-formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (FICZ) (Mezrich JD, Fechner JH, Zhang X, Johnson BP, Burlingham WJ, Bradfield CA.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor-dependent induction of cyp1a1 bybilirubin in mouse hepatoma hepa 1c1c7 cells. Molecular Pharmacology. October 1, 1997; 52(4):590-9; DiNatale BC, Murray IA, Schroeder JC, Flaveny CA, Lahoti TS, Laurenzana EM, Omiecinski CJ, Perdew GH.Kynurenic acid is a potent endogenous aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligand that synergistically induces interleukin-6 in the presence of inflammatory signaling. *Toxicological Sciences*, May 1, 2010; 115(1):89-97; Rannug A, Rannug U. The tryptophan derivative 6-formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole, FICZ, a dynamic mediator of endogenous aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling, balances cell growth and differentiation. *Critical Reviews in Toxicology*. August 9, 2018; 48(7):555-74; all cited and incorporated herein by reference.

[0008] As a heterogeneous receptor, various ligand populations can activate the AhR pathway. The aforementioned AhR ligands are known to initiate downstream pathways of differentiation by activating AhR. This variable activation, along with co-activation of other AhR-independent pathways, can lead to detrimental effects seen in ligands such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-dioxin (TCDD) or beneficial effects found in naturally occurring and drug-derived ligands (Larigot L, Juricek L, Dairou J, Coumoul X. AhR signaling pathways and regulatory functions. Biochimie Open. Dec 1, 2018; 7:1-9, incorporated herein by reference). The inherent role of AhR as a regulator of physiological function and homeostasis is influenced by a variety of ligands that generate complex systems in pathway interactors, with downstream effects depending on ligand structure (Rothhammer V, Quintana FJ. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor: an environmental sensor integrating immune responses in health and disease. Nature Reviews Immunology. March 2019; 19(3):184-97, incorporated herein by reference).

[0009] Despite the great potential of AhR pathway regulation in many therapeutic applications, the exploration of novel AhR-activating compounds has historically been limited. This is partly due to the observation that many exogenous ligands are known to induce harmful or undesirable effects through the unintended production of reactive oxygen species (Harmon AC, Hebert VY, Cormier SA, Subramanian B, Reed JR, Backes WL, Dugas TR. Particulate matter containing environmentally persistent free radicals induces AhR-dependent cytokine and reactive oxygen species production in human bronchial epithelial cells. PLOS ONE. 2018 Oct 11;13(10):e0205412, incorporated herein by reference). In these cases, AhR ligands activate the CYP1A1 pathway but not the nuclear factor erythrocyte-associated factor 2 (NRF2) pathway, subsequently upregulating downstream heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX-1), glutamate-cysteine ​​ligase modifying subunit (GCLM), and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase [quinone]1 (NQO1) to attenuate ROS production. Constructive therapeutic pathways that evoke AhR are also known to upregulate FLG and LOR via the OVOL-1 pathway.

[0010] There is a need in the art for one or more compounds that activate AhR. Additionally, there is a need in the art for one or more compounds that activate AhR, wherein AhR discretely regulates pathways that elicit favorable therapeutic outcomes. Furthermore, there is a need in the art for a method of preparing one or more compounds that activate AhR. Moreover, there is a need in the art for compositions containing one or more compounds that activate AhR.

[0046] As used herein, the term 'hydrate' is not particularly limited and should be known or understood by those skilled in the art. A hydrate is a substance containing water or one of its constituent elements. A hydrate can be considered an inorganic salt containing water molecules that are combined in precise proportions to form an integral part of a crystal bonded to a metal center or crystallized together with a metal complex. Such hydrates are also said to contain water of crystallization or water of hydration.

[0047] As disclosed herein, the term 'anhydrous' is not particularly limited in form and should be known or understood by those skilled in the art. An anhydrous form of a substance refers to a compound that contains no water or is substantially free of water. In practice, achieving complete drying is very difficult because anhydrous compounds gradually absorb water from the atmosphere, requiring careful storage. In one embodiment, an anhydrous compound refers to a compound in which water is generally absent from the crystal lattice.

[0048] As disclosed herein, the term 'salt' is not particularly limited and should be known or understood by those skilled in the art. The term includes acid addition salts or base addition salts, in which case an acid or base is present or added to the compound to form its acid addition salt or base addition salt. In one embodiment, for example, but not limited thereto, the compound of formula (I) forms a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

[0052] As used herein, the term "ligand" is not particularly limited and should be known or understood by those skilled in the art. In coordination chemistry, a ligand is an ion or molecule (with a functional group) that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex. This is typically achieved by the ligand donating an electron pair (forming a coordinate bond) to the electronegative central element M. In other words, binding to a metal usually involves the formal donation of one or more ligand electron pairs, typically via a Lewis base. The nature of metal-ligand bonding can range from covalent to ionic. Furthermore, the bond order of metal-ligand bonding can typically range from one to three, with higher bond orders known to exist. Ligands are considered Lewis bases, although some cases involving Lewis acidic "ligands" are known.

[0053] The ligands disclosed herein chelate with silver to form silver complexes. The silver complexes may have one, two, or three ligands bound to silver. Furthermore, when two or three ligands are bound to silver, the ligands may be the same or different. The formed silver complexes may exist in the form of salts. Moreover, the silver complexes may be in anhydrous or hydrated form. Furthermore, when the silver complexes exist in anhydrous or hydrated form, they may also exist as hydrated or anhydrous salts. In the hydrated form of the silver complex, water may bind with the silver metal during complex formation.

The term bidentate ligand is not particularly limited and should be known or understood by those skilled in the art. A bidentate ligand is a Lewis base that can donate two electron pairs (“doubles”) to a metal atom. A bidentate ligand generally refers to a chelating ligand (“chelate” originates from the Greek word meaning “claw”) because it can “grab” a metal atom in two places. It should be noted that the ligands disclosed herein can bind to silver from more than two sites. For example, the ligand can bind from three (tridentate) or four (tetradentate) sites. In the context of this specification, the ligands disclosed herein are at least bidentate ligands. Therefore, the ligands contemplated herein can also be tridentate or tetradentate, and thus have three or four atoms bonded to silver.

[0055] There are no particular restrictions on the position of the atom that donates the lone pair of electrons to bond with silver. As disclosed herein, bonding can be achieved by donating the electron pair from an atom present on or coupled to an aromatic ring of the ligand. The bidentate ligands disclosed herein can have the following nuclear structures: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) .

[0057] The binding of bidentate ligands to silver can occur through multiple different atoms on the ligand. For example, when ligand (i) is present in the silver complex, the lone pair of electrons from the ligand can be generated by A... 1 A 2 D 1 D 2 R 1 R 2 or R 3 Or by A 1 A 2 D 1 D 2 R 1 R 2 or R 3 The structure represented is supplied. Since the ligand is a bidentate ligand, the two electron pairs that donate silver can come from A. 1 A 2 D 1 D 2 R 1 R 2 or R 3 Either or a combination of both. Alternatively, the two electron pairs can be formed by a single functional group, such as -COO. (-) The supply, the functional group can represent A 1 A 2 D1 D 2 R 1 R 2 or R 3 Either of the atoms in the formula (I) can be used. The position of the atoms in the ligand that donate the lone pair is not particularly restricted, as long as the ligand can chelate with silver. Similarly, when ligand (ii) is present in the silver complex of formula (I), the two lone pairs from the bidentate ligand can be donated by either one or both A atoms. 11 A 12 A 13 A 14 R 11 R 12 R 13 or R 14 Supply. Similarly, when ligand (iii) is present in the silver complex of formula (I), the two lone pairs of electrons from the bidentate ligand can be supplied by either one or both A 21 A 22 A 23 A 24 A 25 A 26 A 27 R 21 R 22 or R 23 supply.

The specific chelation site between the ligand and silver may also be influenced by kinetics, thermodynamics, and steric hindrance factors. Therefore, it is more likely that the ligand will bind to silver and form a five- or six-membered ring without adjacent large or sterically hindered portions, rather than when the chelating atoms are more widely separated in the ligand or adjacent to a large or sterically hindered structure.

[0073] In some cases, as mentioned in this article, specific ligands can chelate with silver from more than two sites. For example, and without limitation, ligands... Chelation with silver can begin from two different positions, as shown below, where chelation starting from the N and O atoms of the carboxylic acid moiety is more likely.

Compound 4 was applied topically daily in DMSO three hours after MC903 administration. Body weight was measured daily before administration. On day 7, animals were sacrificed and ear tissue was collected. Half of the tissue was incubated overnight at -20°C in RNAlater for the detection of TSLP and β-actin by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR).

[0136] In a model dominated by barrier dysfunction, starting on day 0, MC903 (in 100% ethanol) was topically applied to the ears of female C57BL / 6 mice at a concentration of 2 nmol for 5 consecutive days. After 5 days of induction, the MC903 application was switched to a maintenance dose of 1 nmol every other day, while compound 4 was topically applied daily 3 hours after MC903 application. Ear thickness and body weight were measured daily before administration. On day 12, mice were sacrificed and ear tissue was collected. Half of the tissue was incubated overnight at -20°C in RNAlater for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) detection of filaggrin (FLG) and GAPDH.

[0137] Compound 4 demonstrated the effect of inhibiting TSLP gene expression in the ear in an inflammation-dominated model. Figure 4 Compound 4 showed results in reducing ear thickness and increasing filaggrin gene expression in a barrier dysfunction model. Figure 5 and 6 middle.

[0138] The results showed that compound 4 significantly reduced ear swelling and TSLP signaling, while significantly increasing gene expression of filaggrin, a barrier protein regulated by AhR, without significantly affecting body weight. Figure 7 ).
