Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to a class of pyrimidine compounds containing multiple substitutions, pharmaceutical compositions, combination drugs, and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) belongs to the AGC kinase family and is a serine / threonine protein kinase, which can be divided into two isoforms: ROCK1 and ROCK2. Human ROCK1 and ROCK2 proteins are approximately 160 kDa in size and contain an N-terminal serine / threonine kinase domain, a coiled-coil region, an embedded Rho-binding domain (RBD), a C-terminal pleckstrin homology domain (PH), and an embedded cysteine-rich region (CRD). The primary amino acid sequences of ROCK1 and ROCK2 proteins share up to 64% homology, the coiled-coil region shares up to 55% homology, and the kinase domain shares up to 92% homology. More importantly, the primary amino acid sequence homology at the ATP-binding pocket can even reach 100%, making the development of isoform-selective inhibitors of ROCK2 extremely difficult. Therefore, the object of certain embodiments of the present invention is to provide a selective ROCK2 inhibitor.
[0003] Rho is a small GTPase that, in its resting state, binds to guanosine-5'-diphosphate (GDP) to form a heterodimer. Upon stimulation, guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) convert GDP to guanosine triphosphate (GTP). The Rho-GTP heterodimer binds to the RBD domain of the downstream rock, thereby activating it. The activated rock then phosphorylates its substrates, activating them as well. These substrates include myosin light chain (MLC), LIMK kinase 1 / 2, myristylated alanine-rich C-kinase (MARCKS), neurofilament protein (NF-L), collapsing response mediator protein 2 (CRMP2), adducin, and sodium / hydrogen exchanger. In addition to 1, NHE1, etc., ROCK can bind to the myosin-binding subunit of myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP), phosphorylating it and inhibiting MLCP, thereby inhibiting the dephosphorylation of MLC. Activated ROCK can regulate the actin cytoskeleton, further regulating cell shape and various biological functions, such as the formation of stress fibers and focal adhesion complexes, apoptosis, growth and development, fibroblast proliferation, anti-airway and prostate smooth muscle cell proliferation, and cardiomyocyte proliferation. ROCK inhibitors can be used to treat a variety of diseases, including asthma, cancer, erectile dysfunction, glaucoma, insulin resistance, kidney failure, neuropathy, osteoporosis, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
[0004] Over the past two decades, numerous ROCK inhibitors have been designed and synthesized from various scaffolds. Currently, a large number of ROCK inhibitors have entered clinical trials, including AR-13503 (NCT03835884), AT-13148 (NCT01585701), LX-7101 (NCT01528111), AR-12132, and Y-39983 (NCT00515424 and NCT00846989). In addition, several ROCK inhibitors are already on the market. In 1995, Japan approved the marketing of fasudil for the treatment of cerebral vasospasm; in 2014, Japan and China approved the marketing of rapasudil for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension; netarsudil combined with latanoprost to form Rocklatan eye drops was approved by the FDA in 2018 for the treatment of glaucoma; and belumosudil (KD-025) was approved by the FDA in 2021 for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease. In addition to its approved indications, KD-025 can be used to treat a variety of other conditions and has entered clinical trials, such as psoriasis (Phase 2, NCT02852967, NCT02317627, and NCT02106195), generalized scleroderma (Phase 2, NCT04680975 and NCT03919799), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (Phase 2, NCT02688647), cancer (Phase 1, NCT04550663 and NCT04270461), and liver failure (Phase 1, NCT04166942). Beijing Tide Pharmaceutical's small molecule compound TDI-01 and Redx Pharmaceutical's small molecule compound RXC-007, used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, are also currently in Phase 1 clinical trials. Therefore, the search for new highly selective ROCK2 inhibitors for the treatment of various diseases still holds broad market potential. Summary of the Invention

[0050] Table 2 Compound Information The following experimental examples demonstrate the beneficial effects of the present invention.
[0051] Experiment Example 1, Biological Test 1. Experimental Methods Using the Lance Ultra Assay method at Km ATP, the inhibitory activity and IC50 of compounds against two kinase targets, ROCK1 and ROCK2, were tested. 50 The specific method is as follows.
[0052] The initial concentrations for the compound kinase activity assay were 2 μM and 1 μM, respectively. A 100-fold concentrated stock solution was prepared in advance: 97 μL of pure DMSO and 3 μL of 10 mM compound solution were added to the second well of the 384-well Echo plate, and 99 μL of pure DMSO and 1 μL of 10 mM compound solution were added to the other well. A 3-fold serial dilution was performed starting from the two stock solutions, with a total of 6 concentration gradients set. 40 μL of pure DMSO was added to each of the two blank wells as the Max control well and the Min control well, respectively. Then, 200 nL of compound dilution was transferred to the 384-well assay plate using an Echo650 acoustic pipette. Prepare 1× kinase buffer (containing 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Triton X-100, 0.01% BSA, and 2 mM DTT). Add kinase to the buffer to prepare an enzyme solution. Add 10 μL of the enzyme solution to each well of the detection plate. Add 1× buffer without kinase to the negative control wells. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 1 min and incubate at room temperature for 10 min. Dissolve the substrate, ATP, and other reagents in the kinase buffer to prepare a substrate solution. Add 10 μL of the substrate solution to each well. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 1 min and incubate at room temperature for 30 min to complete the enzymatic reaction. Next, prepare 2× antibody stop solution, add 20 μL of stop solution to each well, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 1 min, incubate at room temperature for 60 min, and use an Envision 2104 multi-mode microplate reader to read the fluorescence values at 665 nm and 615 nm respectively. Calculate the homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence signal ratio (665 nm / 615 nm) of the five replicates, and calculate the compound's inhibitory activity according to the formula: Inhibition rate % = (Max signal ratio - Sample signal ratio) / (Max signal ratio - Min signal ratio) × 100, where Min is the signal of the enzyme-free control group and Max is the signal of the DMSO control group. Finally, import the data into Excel, and use the XLFit 5.4.0.8 plugin to calculate the inhibitory activity using the formula Y = Bottom + (Top − Bottom) / (1 + (IC 50 / X)^HillSlope) was used to fit the dose-response curve.
[0053] Table 3 Kinase test conditions 2. Experimental Results Tables 4 and 5 show the ROCK1 / ROCK2 inhibitory activities of certain structural compounds determined by the above-described assays, based on the compound's IC50. 50 The value is classified as " " " " " "and" "." "Refers to IC" 50 Compounds with a value >20 μM; "Refers to IC" 50 Compounds with values of 20 to 10 μM; "Refers to IC" 50 Compounds with values of 10 to 1 μM; "Refers to IC" 50 Compounds with values from 1 to 0.1 μM; "Refers to IC" 50 Compounds with values from 0.1 to 0.01 μM; "Refers to IC" 50 Compounds with a value <0.01 μM.
[0054] Table 4. Kinase activity of compounds against ROCK1 / ROCK2 Table 5. Kinase activity of compounds against ROCK1 / ROCK2 The data above show that the tested compound has an IC50 response to ROCK2. 50 The value is significantly lower than the IC for ROCK1. 50 The value indicates that the compound of the present invention has good selectivity for ROCK2.
[0055] Experiment Example 2, Biological Test 1. Experimental Methods The inhibitory effect of the test compounds on the TGF-β1-induced fibrotic phenotype of rat renal fibroblasts NRK-49F was detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Logarithmically growing NRK-49F cells were seeded in 6-well plates and cultured for 24 h until cell attachment. The culture medium was then replaced with serum-free DMEM for a simultaneous 12 h starvation period. The experiment included a blank control group, a TGF-β1 model group, a compound gradient administration group, and a positive control group. Each group had three biological replicates. The administration groups were pretreated with different concentrations of the test compounds for 2 h. The model and administration groups were continuously stimulated with a final concentration of 5 ng / mL TGF-β1 for 24 h. The blank group was treated with an equal volume of DMSO. After stimulation, the culture medium was discarded, and the cells were washed with pre-cooled PBS. Total RNA was extracted from the cells using the Trizol method, and RNA purity and concentration were detected using Nanodrop. Qualified samples were selected, and genomic DNA was removed and cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription according to the kit instructions. Gapdh was used as an internal control gene, and SYBR Green DNA was used for analysis. The Green quantitative PCR system was used to amplify the fibrosis markers α-SMA and Col1a1 by qPCR. After amplification, melting curves were plotted to verify primer specificity, and the relative expression levels of mRNA of each fibrosis gene were calculated by the 2^-ΔΔCt method.
[0056] 3. Experimental Results Table 6 shows the ability of certain structural compounds to inhibit fibrosis as determined by the above-described assays. Based on their inhibitory ability, the compounds are classified as "..." " " " " "", "This refers to an inhibition rate value of <50%;" "This refers to an inhibition rate value > 50%;" "This refers to an inhibition rate value > 80%;" "This refers to an inhibition rate value > 100%;" "This refers to an inhibition rate value > 200%".
[0057] Table 6. Inhibitory activity of compounds against fibrosis As can be seen from the above data, multiple compounds exhibit significant inhibitory activity against TGF-β1-induced fibrosis at the cellular level, and are superior to marketed ROCK2 inhibitors Benzamide and Belumosudil. This indicates that the compounds of the present invention have a good therapeutic effect on ROCK2-mediated fibrotic diseases.
