Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a method for preventing or treating a neurodegenerative disease or alleviating the symptoms of a neurodegenerative disease, which comprises administering to an individual in need thereof a prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount of a thiamine pyrophosphokinase (TPK) agonist. [Background technology]
[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common degenerative disease of the central nervous system. The large number of patients, prolonged disease course, prolonged survival time before patients lose the ability to live independently, and lack of effective preventive and therapeutic drugs place a huge economic and psychological burden on individuals, families, and society as a whole. According to reports, China spent US$167.74 billion on AD prevention and treatment in 2015, a figure projected to reach US$507.49 billion by 2030. In 2018, the world spent over US$10 trillion on dementia, primarily AD, accounting for more than 1% of global gross domestic product (GDP). Among the world's top 10 serious diseases, AD is the only one lacking effective preventive and therapeutic drugs. It has already become a serious disease that severely impacts the health systems and sustainable economic development of major economies, including China.
[0003] AD is a multi-pathophysiological disease characterized by neuronal loss, glial cell activation, and characteristic extracellular beta-amyloid (Aβ) deposition resulting in senile plaques, as well as neurofibrillary tangles resulting from the hyperphosphorylation of intracellular tau protein. Synaptic loss, impaired cerebral glucose metabolism, and oxidative stress are also constant pathological changes in the AD brain, and the decline in cerebral glucose metabolism in patients is closely related to cognitive impairment. Because the pathogenetic mechanism is unclear, there is still a lack of effective treatments for AD. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present inventors have discovered that impaired glucose metabolism may be one of the early preclinical features of AD. The intracellular glucose metabolism in AD patients manifests as a significant decrease in the activity of three key enzymes (pyruvate dehydrogenase, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and transketolase) that primarily depend on thiamine diphosphate (TDP) as a coenzyme. Multicenter clinical studies have demonstrated that decreased TDP levels in AD patients are a unique and common phenomenon with good diagnostic value, while patients with vascular dementia and frontotemporal dementia do not exhibit thiamine metabolic disorders. Combined clinical and experimental studies have further demonstrated that decreased TDP is the cause of impaired cerebral glucose metabolism. The present inventors have discovered through their research that of four known thiamine metabolism-related genes, only the expression of thiamine pyrophosphokinase (TPK), a key enzyme responsible for converting thiamine to biologically active TDP, is significantly inhibited, and that the inhibition of TPK expression is specific to AD. Therefore, TPK agonists can be used to prevent or treat neurodegenerative diseases (particularly Alzheimer's disease).
[0005] In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for preventing or treating a neurodegenerative disease or alleviating a symptom of a neurodegenerative disease, comprising administering to an individual in need thereof a prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount of a thiamine pyrophosphokinase (TPK) agonist.
[0006] In another aspect, the present invention provides the use of a TPK agonist in the manufacture of a medicament for preventing or treating a neurodegenerative disease or alleviating the symptoms of a neurodegenerative disease.
[0007] In another aspect, the present invention provides a TPK agonist for preventing or treating a neurodegenerative disease or alleviating a symptom of a neurodegenerative disease.
[0008] The neurodegenerative disease is preferably Alzheimer's disease, and more preferably, the Alzheimer's disease is Alzheimer's disease in which the individual's TPK enzyme activity is reduced, TPK expression levels are reduced, and / or TDP levels are reduced.
[0009] In another aspect, the present invention relates to TPK agonists having novel structures. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0319] Step 1: A 100 mL three-neck flask was charged with zinc powder (0.65 g, 0.01 mol, 1.0 eq.) and anhydrous THF (30 mL). The system was flushed with nitrogen three times. Ethyl bromoacetate (135b) (1.67 g, 0.01 mol, 1.0 eq.) was added via syringe. After the addition was complete, a solution of one grain of iodine in THF (3 mL) was added via syringe and the system was heated to reflux. Under reflux, a solution of 135a (1.78 g, 0.006 mol, 0.6 eq.) in anhydrous THF (15 mL) was added via syringe. After the addition was complete, the reaction was maintained at reflux for 6 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, water was added to quench the reaction. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane:methanol=70:30), and the target product was collected. The solvent was removed by spin evaporation to give a pale yellow gel-like solid 135A (1.26 g, yield: 34.3%).
[0320] Step 2: A 100 mL three-neck flask was charged with 135A (0.93 g, 0.00253 mol, 1.0 eq.) and anhydrous THF (10 mL). The flask was protected with nitrogen gas and cooled in an ice-salt bath. When the temperature was lowered below 0°C, a THF solution of lithium aluminum hydride (6.3 mL, 0.00253 mol, 1.0 eq.) was added dropwise via syringe. Obvious heat was released and a large amount of bubbles were generated. The temperature of the system was controlled by adjusting the rate of addition. After the addition was complete, the reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 hour. The reaction was then filtered to remove the solids, and the filtrate was concentrated to give 135B (0.7 g, 85.4% yield) as an oil.
[0321] Step 3: A 100 mL single-neck flask was charged with 135B (0.7 g, 0.00216 mol, 1.0 eq.) and dichloromethane (10 mL) and stirred to dissolve. Dess-Martin reagent (0.92 g, 0.00216 mol, 1.0 eq.) was added under stirring and the reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was completed and washed twice with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The layers were separated, and the DCM layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filter cake was washed with DCM. The solvent was removed from the filtrate to give yellow oil 135C, which was used directly in the next step.
[0322] Step 4: A 100 mL three-neck flask was charged with 135c (1.6 g, 0.007 mol, 1.0 eq.), triethylamine (2.08 g, 0.021 mol, 3 eq.), and DCM (10 mL), protected with nitrogen gas, and placed in an ice bath. When the system temperature had cooled to 0 °C, a solution of methanesulfonyl chloride (0.96 g, 0.0084 mol, 1.2 eq.) in DCM (2 mL) was added dropwise via syringe. After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction was then completed, filtered to remove solids, and concentrated to give 135D, which was used crude in the next step.
[0323] Step 5: The crude 135D obtained in the previous step was dissolved in DMF (20 mL). 7-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroquinolin-2(1H)-one (1b) (1.14 g, 0.007 mol, 1.0 eq.) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (2.9 g, 0.021 mol, 3 eq.) were added to the mixture, and the mixture was reacted at 100 °C for 2 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, a large amount of water was added, and the product was extracted with EA. The extract was concentrated and initially purified by column chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane:methanol = 80:20). The desired product components were collected and concentrated to give crude 135E (2.9 g, 100% yield) as a yellow solid.
[0324] Step 6: A 100 mL single-neck flask was charged with 135E (2.9 g, 0.00774 mol, 1.0 eq.) and a solution of hydrogen chloride in dioxane (15 mL, 4 mol / L) and the mixture was reacted at room temperature for 1 h. After filtration, the filter cake was washed with DCM and dried to give a white solid 135F (0.93 g, 38.8% yield).
[0325] Step 7: A 100 mL single-neck flask was charged with 135F (0.38 g, 0.00124 mol, 0.5 eq.), DCM (10 mL), and triethylamine (0.125 g, 0.00125 mol, 0.5 eq.) and stirred to dissolve. After dissolution, 135C (0.8 g, 0.00248 mol, 1.0 eq.) and acetic acid (0.177 g, 0.00496 mol, 2.0 eq.) were added and stirred for 1 hour. Sodium triacetylborohydride (1.05 g, 0.00496 mol, 2.0 eq.) was added and the mixture was allowed to react at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction was completed, filtered, the filter cake was washed with DCM, the filtrate was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and water, and the layers were separated, the organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was removed, and the crude product was initially purified by column chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane:methanol=1:1) to collect the target product components, which were then concentrated to obtain a pseudo-white solid 135G (0.57 g, yield: 91.9%).
[0326] Step 8: A 100 mL one-neck flask was charged with 135G (0.26 g, 0.000448 mol, 1.0 eq.) and EA (5 mL), stirred to dissolve, and a solution of hydrogen chloride in dioxane (0.6 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 30 min, filtered, and the filter cake was washed with EA. The filter cake was separated (eluent: methanol:0.5% formic acid aqueous solution = 80:20) to give the title compound 135 (white solid) (0.02 g, yield: 9.5%).
