Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to a polyaromatic ring compound that reduces Lp(a) levels, its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer or isotopic label, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof and their applications. Background Technology
[0003] Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and is closely related to cardiovascular disease, seriously threatening human health. In the human body, blood lipids must bind with apolipoproteins to form lipoproteins in order to dissolve in the blood and be transported to tissues for metabolism. Lipoproteins include: chylomicrons (CM), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and lipoprotein (Lp(a)).
[0004] Lp(a) readily deposits on blood vessel walls and can lead to the formation of atherosclerotic lesions through various mechanisms, its atherogenic effect being comparable to that of LDL-C. Furthermore, Lp(a) also has a thrombotic effect. Lp(a) is synthesized in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream, primarily depositing in vascular tissue and aortic valve leaflets. The lipid composition of Lp(a) is similar to that of LDL; however, Lp(a) contains a specific apolipoprotein, apo(a), which is bound to apo B100 disulfide bonds. Apo(a) is a highly glycosylated hydrophilic protein with structural polymorphism, accounting for 25%–40% of the total Lp(a) protein, and is key to Lp(a)'s role in causing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
[0005] While some progress has been made in the development of drugs for treating cardiovascular diseases, it remains necessary to further develop cardiovascular drugs that meet clinical needs. Invention Overview

[0053] When a substituent is described using a conventional chemical formula written from left to right, it also includes chemically equivalent substituents obtained when the structural formula is written from right to left. For example, CH2O is equivalent to OCH2.
[0054] The terms “optional / arbitrary” or “optionally / arbitrarily” mean that the event or situation described below may or may not occur, including both the occurrence and non-occurrence of the event or situation. For example, “optionally substituted alkyl” means “unsubstituted alkyl” (an alkyl group not substituted by a substituent) or “substituted alkyl” (an alkyl group substituted by a substituent).
[0055] The C1-C used in this article n Including C1-C2, C1-C3, ..., C1-C nFor example, the term "C1-C6" alkyl refers to a moiety having 1-6 carbon atoms. Therefore, "C1-C6 alkyl" refers to an alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms, i.e., the alkyl group is selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, and tert-butyl, etc. The term "alkyl" herein refers to an optionally substituted straight-chain or optionally substituted branched aliphatic hydrocarbon.
