Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to antagonists of the neuropeptide neurokinin-1 (NK1 or NK-1) receptor.
Background Art
[0002] Tachykinins are peptide ligands of the neurokinin receptors. Neurokinin receptors such as NK1, NK2 and NK3 are involved in various biological processes. They are found in the mammalian nervous system and cardiovascular system, and in surrounding tissues. Therefore, the regulation of such receptors has been studied for the possible treatment or prevention of various mammalian diseases. Examples of typical neurokinin receptor agonists and their uses include US5760018 (1998) (pain, inflammation, migraine and vomiting), US5620989 (1997) (pain, nociception and inflammation), WO95 / 19344 (1995), WO 94 / 13639 (1994) and WO 94 / 10165 (1994). Other types of NK1 receptor antagonists include Wu et al., Tetrahedron 56, 3043-3051 (2000); Rombouts et al., Tetrahedron Letters 42, 7397-7399 (2001); and Rogiers et al., Tetrahedron 57, 8971-8981 (2001).
[0003] US7049320 provides an effective and selective NK1 antagonist, (5S,8S)-8-[{(1R)-1-(3,5-bis-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-ethoxy}-methyl]-8-phenyl-1,7-diazaspiro[4.5]dec-2-one (compound represented by formula (I)), which can be in the form of a free base or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and is suitable for formulations for parenteral administration, having advantageous therapeutic and pharmacological properties and good metabolic stability.
Chemical Formula
[0004] US9101615 provides prodrugs of compounds of formula (I), i.e., prodrugs and salts thereof, in which the free amine (or two amines) of the compounds of formula (I) are replaced by a group selected from -Y and -X, wherein Y is -P(O)(OH)2, -S(O) n1 R 1 , -C(O)(C 1-6 alkyl)X, -C(O)(C 1-6 Alkyl)(aryl) and -C(O)OR 4 X is selected from the group consisting of -NR 2 R 3 , -P(O)(OH)2 and -S(O) n1 R is selected from the group consisting of: 1 is H or C 1-6 alkyl; R 2 is H or C 1-6 alkyl; R 3 is H or C 1-6 alkyl; R 4 is H or C 1-6 n1 is 0-4. The prodrugs can be used in appropriate liquid formulations (with or without a parenteral carrier for delivery) to treat patients in need thereof. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In another aspect, drug-induced hemolysis is caused by massive destruction of red blood cells induced by immune factors after the drug enters the human body. Clinically manifested hemolytic symptoms include anemia, jaundice, soy sauce-like urine, etc. Drug-induced hemolytic anemia can be classified into the following three types: (1) leading to drug-induced immune, antibody-mediated hemolytic reactions; (2) the action of drugs on red blood cells with genetic enzyme deficiencies (e.g., G6PD deficiency); (3) drug-induced hemolytic reactions to abnormal hemoglobin. The key to treating such diseases is to stop using the relevant drugs and control the occurrence of hemolysis in order to prevent the occurrence of complications. To solve the problem of the low solubility of the compound represented by formula (I) at physiological pH, researchers used a co-solvent-based formulation containing captisol, propylene glycol, and ethanol to significantly improve the solubility of compound 1. However, the co-solvent-based formulation shows a significant hemolytic effect after intravenous administration. CN102573475 discloses an improved formulation containing polyethylene glycol 15-hydroxystearate and medium-chain triglycerides. However, even when the compound represented by formula (I) is prepared as a prodrug containing phosphate, the hemolytic effect of the pharmaceutical composition has not been completely solved.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0006] The present application provides a new NK1 antagonist prodrug compound that is effective in treating various physiological disorders, conditions, and diseases and has minimal side effects.

All changes in the isotope composition of the compounds of the present application, whether radioactive or not, are included within the scope of the present application.
[0051] Furthermore, substitution with heavier isotopes (such as deuterium (i.e., 2 H), etc.) can provide certain therapeutic advantages due to higher metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced required dosage), and thus may be preferred under certain circumstances where deuterium substitution may be partial or complete. Partial deuterium substitution is shown by replacing at least one hydrogen with at least one deuterium.

[0139] 1.3 Experimental steps 1) The test compounds in Table 3 were each prepared in a 30 mM stock solution containing DMSO for later use. 2) The 30 mM stock solution was diluted to Solution I at a concentration of 1600 μM with a DMSO solution. Next, the 1600 μM Solution I was diluted to the diluted standard solution II at a concentration of 16 μM with acetonitrile (ACN). 3) In this experiment, seven time points of 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes were set, and two parallel samples were used at each time point. For each compound, two sample groups were set. 75 μL of plasma and 5 μL of the diluted solution II prepared above at a concentration of 16 μM were added to each group. The reaction system was incubated at 37 °C until the set time to stop the reaction with 300 μL of an ACN solution containing an internal standard. The reaction mixture was centrifuged at 3700 rpm for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was collected for analysis. 4) Preparation of the standard curve: The pre-diluted 1600 μM Solution I was diluted to Solution III at 1.5 μM / mL with acetonitrile as the standard curve to be used later. The standard curve concentrations were set at 0.32, 0.8, 1.6, 4.0, 8, 12, 16, and 42 μM. After dilution of each concentration of the standard curve, 75 μL of plasma was added to each concentration point of 5 μL at final concentrations of 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5 μM, respectively.

Example
[0157] According to Step 1-2 of Example 1, the target compound was prepared. Next, under a nitrogen atmosphere, Compound 3 (6.65 g, 8.67 mmol, 1 equivalent) was dissolved in dichloromethane (200 mL) in a 500 mL one-neck flask, and trifluoroacetic acid (9.89 g, 86.7 mmol, 10.0 equivalents) was slowly added while cooling with ice water. The reaction mixture was stirred until the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was concentrated to obtain 2.29 g of an oily substance, which was purified by a reverse-phase silica gel column (C18) (Solution A: 20 mmol aqueous solution of NH4HCO3, Solution B: acetonitrile), then adjusted to pH = 1-2 with 1 M phosphoric acid, extracted with dichloromethane, washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to obtain 2.7 g of the target product.

Chemical formula
[0159] Test Example 7: Solubility By referring to the solubility test method of Test Example 1, the solubility of the compound of Example 19 at different pH values was measured. The data are as follows: Table 7
Table 7
[0160] Test Example 8: Hemolytic effect Red blood cells (RBC) were collected from the jugular vein or central ear artery of rabbits (10 ml of EDTA whole blood). The blood was placed in an Erlenmeyer flask containing glass beads and shaken for 10 minutes to remove fibrinogen, obtaining defibrinated blood. Approximately 10 times the volume of sodium chloride solution was added to the defibrinated blood, then shaken well and centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant was removed, and the precipitated red blood cells were washed 3 times with sodium chloride injection according to the above method until the supernatant was observed to be colorless. The obtained red blood cells were prepared into a 2% (v / v) suspension by injecting sodium chloride for later use.
[0161] Test samples (the compound of Example 5 and the compound of Example 19) were each dissolved in PBS (pH 7.4 or pH 5), filtered, and solutions of 0.4 mg / ml, 0.8 mg / ml, 1.2 mg / ml, 1.6 mg / ml, and 2 mg / ml were prepared for later use.
[0162] To test with the supernatant, a certain amount of the test sample solution was added to the above hemoglobin.
[0163] When the solution in the test tube is transparent and red, and there are no cells remaining at the bottom of the test tube or only a small amount of red blood cells remaining, it indicates that hemolysis has occurred. When all red blood cells have settled and the supernatant is colorless and transparent, it indicates that no hemolysis has occurred. If there is a brownish-red or reddish-brown flocculent precipitate in the solution and it does not disperse even after gently inverting 3 - 5 times, it indicates that red blood cell coagulation may occur. If the sample is further observed under a microscope and the red blood cells appear to be aggregated, coagulation has occurred. The hemolytic effect of the compounds of the present disclosure was determined by using this method.
[0164] Conclusion: The compound of Example 19 has no hemolytic effect at a concentration up to 2 mg / ml, and the compound of Example 5 has a hemolytic effect at a concentration of 0.04 mg / ml or higher.
[0165] Test Example 9: Hemolytic Action of Rolapitant Emulsion By referring to the method described in CN102775401A, loperitant emulsion was prepared (formulation: 4.4% polyethylene glycol 15 hydroxystearate, 1.1% medium-chain triglyceride, and 0.66% soybean oil), and for later use, it was adjusted to 0.18 mg / ml, 0.09 mg / ml, 0.045 mg / ml, 0.023 mg / ml, 0.011 mg / ml, 0.056 mg / ml, and 0.028 mg / ml with PBS.
[0166] The hemolytic effect was determined by referring to the method of Test Example 8.
[0167] Conclusion: Rolapitant emulsions showed hemolytic effects at all concentrations.
