Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention is in the pharmaceutical field and specifically relates to a series of compounds that can be used to lower uric acid. [Background technology]

[0002] Xanthine oxidase (XO) is an important target for the drug treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. In the human body, hypoxanthine is metabolized to xanthine, which is further metabolized to produce uric acid, and XO plays a crucial role in the formation of uric acid. When the activity of XO is inhibited, the conversion between hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid is inhibited, and the concentration of uric acid in human serum is reduced. Therefore, inhibiting the activity of XO is the key to inhibiting uric acid production.

[0003] Generally, hyperuricemia is defined as blood uric acid levels exceeding 420μmol / L in men and 360μmol / L in women. Currently, hyperuricemia is the second most common metabolic disease after diabetes, and is a serious threat to human health. Hyperuricemia is not only an important biochemical factor in causing gout, but is also closely related to the development of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, obesity, and insulin resistance. According to the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data, the prevalence of gout among US adults was 3.9% (approximately 8.3 million people) during 2007-2008 (Zhu Y, Pandya BJ, Choi HK. Prevalence of Gout and Hyperuricemia in the US General Population: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2008[J]. Arthritis Rheum, 2011, 63(10): 3136-3141). A meta-analysis shows that the overall prevalence of hyperuricemia in China is 13.3% and gout is 1.1% (Liu R, Han C, Wu D, et al. Prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout in mainland China from 2000 to 2014: A systematic review and meta-analysis [J]. Biomed Research International, 2015: 1-12).Over the past few decades, the incidence of gout has gradually increased due to the prevalence of comorbidities that promote hyperuricemia (hypertension, obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, etc.) (Khanna D, Fitzgerald JD, Khanna PP, et al. American College of Rheumatology Guidelines for Management of Gout. Part 1: Systematic Nonpharmacologic and Pharmacologic Therapeutic Approaches to Hyperuricemia[J]. Arthritis Care & Research, 2012, 64(10):1432-1446).

[0004] The ever-increasing incidence of hyperuricemia and gout is a serious threat to human health, and early intervention and treatment are necessary. However, the currently available uric acid lowering drugs are very limited, and they have obvious toxicity and side effects, leading to poor patient compliance. Currently, the drugs for treating hyperuricemia and gout are mainly divided into three categories: urate / anion transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitors, xanthine oxidase inhibitors, and urate oxidase inhibitors.

[0005] URAT1 inhibitors primarily act on the urate transporter in the renal proximal tubule to inhibit the reabsorption of uric acid and increase its excretion, thereby lowering the concentration of uric acid in the body. Drugs in this category include benzbromarone, lesinurad, and probenecid. Benzbromarone is an effective uric acid excretion enhancer and has been approved for sale in many countries, but not in the United States. Due to severe liver toxicity, benzbromarone has been withdrawn from the market in some European countries since 2003. Due to racial differences in benzbromarone-related liver-related adverse events, the Chinese Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Hyperuricemia and Gout (2019) recommends benzbromarone as the first-choice uric acid lowering drug. Lesinurad was approved for sale in the United States in 2015, and its instructions carry a black box warning that it may cause acute renal failure and cardiovascular disease (potentially fatal), and is far less effective than benzbromarone, so it must be used in combination with allopurinol. Probenecid is listed as the first choice uric acid excretion enhancer in monotherapy for uric acid lowering in the US guidelines, but its use is restricted due to several significant interactions with some commonly used medications (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, β-lactams, heparin, etc.).

[0006] Xanthine oxidase inhibitors mainly include allopurinol and febuxostat. Allopurinol has been widely used clinically since its marketing approval by the US FDA in 1966. Currently, the drug is still recommended as the first-line drug for gout treatment in most countries' gout guidelines. However, allopurinol is poorly effective, only inhibiting reduced XO and not oxidized XO, and related studies have revealed that even when allopurinol is used at the maximum dose, the treatment endpoint achievement rate in subjects is less than 50% (Robert M, Douglas CA, Scott B. Less than half of patients treated with high-Dose allopurinol reach serum uric acid target[J]. ACR / ARHP Annual Meeting, 2017, Abstract Number: 1120). It can also cause skin rashes and other rare but fatal side effects such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, with a mortality rate of approximately 10-30% (Bocquet H, Bagot M, Roujeau JC. Drug-induced pseudolymphoma and drug hypersensitivity syndrome (drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms: DRESS [J]. Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 1996, 15 (4): 250-257)).In clinical practice, allopurinol has been reported to cause acute liver failure, so allopurinol should be used with caution when treating patients with hyperuricemia complicated by liver disease (Imai H, Kamei H, Onishi Y, et al. Successful living-donor liver transplantation for cholestatic liver failure induced by allopurinol: case report [J]. Transplantation Proceedings, 2015, 47 (9): 2778-2781). Other side effects of allopurinol include stomach discomfort, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, decreased white blood cells and platelets, headache, fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, painful urination, hematuria, itching, and lethargy.

[0007] Febuxostat is a non-purine XO inhibitor created by Teijin Ltd. that can inhibit the oxidized and reduced forms of XO, and is clearly more active than allopurinol. It was launched in Europe in 2008 and in the United States in 2009. As the clinical application of febuxostat continues to expand, cardiovascular adverse events occurring when treating hyperuricemia have been increasingly reported, and due to its cardiovascular toxicity (such as the risk of sudden death), the US Food and Drug Administration required the addition of a black box warning of risks to its instruction manual, and in 2019, the prescription information was adjusted, changing it from a first-line drug to a second-line drug. In March 2018, the New England Journal of Medicine published the results of a study of 6,190 gout patients. After a mean of 32 months of treatment, the researchers found that the febuxostat and allopurinol groups had similar overall risk of adverse cardiovascular events (HR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.87 to 1.23), but the febuxostat group had higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality rates than the allopurinol group. Patients in the febuxostat group had a 34% increased cardiovascular mortality rate (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.73) and a 22% increased all-cause mortality rate (HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.47). The most common cause of cardiovascular death was sudden cardiac death, occurring in 83 patients (2.7%) in the febuxostat group and 56 patients (1.8%) in the allopurinol group (William B, Kenneth G, Michael A, et al. Cardiovascular safety of febuxostat or allopurinol in patients with gout [J]. The New England Journal of Medicine, 2018, 378: 1200-1210). Febuxostat may also cause severe gastrointestinal side effects, renal side effects, and liver dysfunction.

[0008] Pegloticase is the main urate oxidase drug currently on the market and is administered by intravenous injection. The FDA has multiple black box warnings for this drug, including severe allergic side effects in 20-40% of patients. Its efficacy is mediocre, with only 47% of patients reaching the treatment endpoint of <0.36 mmol / L.

[0009] In the past few decades, the development of drugs for treating hyperuricemia and gout has progressed slowly, but with the gradual increase in incidence, the development of drugs for treating hyperuricemia and gout has attracted more and more researchers' attention. The design of new drugs targeting xanthine oxidase has been widely emphasized, and various compounds have entered clinical trials, but they still face many problems, such as high toxicity and side effects, and more research is needed. Therefore, effective and low-toxicity XO inhibitors have great potential for development and application value. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
