Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention is in the field of medicine, and in particular, relates to the treatment of overexpression or abnormal activity of JAK kinase and SYK kinase. Use of a tricyclic heteroaryl group in the manufacture of a medicament for treating a disease associated with genitalization This relates to the use of compounds. [Background technology]
[0002] JAK kinase (Janus kinase), or Janus kinase, has four subtypes: JAK1 kinases, including JAK2 kinase, JAK3 kinase, and TYK2 kinase (Tyrosine kinase 2) JAK1 kinase, JAK2 kinase, and TYK2 are types of non-transmembrane non-receptor tyrosine kinases. Kinases are widely present in various tissues and cells, and JAK1 kinase is involved in the expression of inflammatory signals such as IL-6 and IFN. JAK2 kinase is involved in the signal transduction pathway of cytokines such as IL-3, IL-5, and EPO. JAK3 kinase is present only in the bone marrow and lymphoid system and can mediate the production of IL-2, IL-4, and TYK2 kinase can be involved in the signal transduction pathways of IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21. Involved in the signal transduction pathways of IFN-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-12. JAK kinase inhibitors inhibit JAK -STAT (Signal transducers and activators of transcription) signaling pathway By specifically inhibiting this, the cascade amplification of the above cytokines is inhibited, resulting in immune regulation. It is involved in processes such as:
[0003] SYK kinase (Spleen tyrosine kinase), or spleen tyrosine kinase, is a SYK kinase is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase present in the substrate. It is widely expressed in leukocytes, fibroblasts, and vascular endothelial cells, is overexpressed in B lymphocytes, and is involved in tumor and autoimmune diseases. Dectin-1 / ITAM plays an important role in the regulation of immune disease by antigen-stimulated immune cells. In normal B cells, intracellular immune receptor tyrosinase activity is mediated by the classical pathway. When the ITAM is phosphorylated by antigen-induced BCR cross-linking, the cytoplasmic S YK kinase is the first target of ITAM recruitment and activation, and activated SYK kinase This enzyme then activates the transcription factor NF-κB through a CARD9-dependent pathway, leading to the release of a series of inflammatory factors. This pathway also activates caspase-8, which then converts IL-1β into IL-1β. CARD9-independent pathway NLRP3 signaling pathway SYK kinase also plays a role in the maturation of IL-1β. Therefore, SYK kinase is an important factor in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. It is also a target.
[0004] Psoriasis is a chronic, relapsing, immune-mediated, inflammatory skin disease. varies significantly around the world, ranging from 0.5% to 3.15% in the United States, 0.75% to 2.9% in Europe, and 0.85% to 2.9% in China. reported a psoriasis prevalence of 0.123% in 1984 and a prevalence of 0.47% in 6 cities in 2008. In 2017, the prevalence of psoriasis in the four southwestern provinces was reported to be 0.5%, and the number of psoriasis patients in China was approximately 60. Psoriasis can occur at any age, and there is no gender predilection. Approximately two-thirds of patients have 4 The disease develops before the age of 0, and in most patients, symptoms are milder in the summer than in the winter.
[0005] The etiology and onset mechanism of psoriasis have not been fully elucidated, and various genetic, immunological, and environmental factors are thought to be involved. It may be involved in the development of HIV-1, and multiple immune cells, mainly T lymphocytes, are involved in this process. The immune response causes excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and inflammation of synovial cells and chondrocytes. The typical clinical manifestations of psoriasis are localized or widespread scaly erythema or plaque. Psoriasis can occur in conjunction with other system disorders, for example with damage to internal organs and joints. Severe cases may be associated with metabolic syndrome and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. There is an increased risk of contracting the disease.
[0006] Psoriasis is classified into three types based on clinical symptoms and pathological features: (1) plaque psoriasis; It is often acute in onset. Typically, a rash with a sharp border and irregular shape appears. There is inflammatory redness around the area. The area is slightly wet and thickened. The surface is covered with multiple layers of silvery white scales. The scales peel off easily and are covered with a light, translucent film with a slight reddish tint after removal. When the film is removed, small spots of bleeding (Auspitz) are seen. Skin breakdown is common on the extensor surfaces of the legs and feet. Some patients experience varying degrees of itching. (2) Pustular psoriasis, which is classified into generalized and palmoplantar types. Generalized pustular psoriasis is characterized by erythema on the skin. It is a group of shallow sterile pustules that may coalesce to form a lake of pus. It is often seen on the flexed sides of the limbs and in wrinkled areas, and the oral mucosa may also be affected at the same time. Acute onset or sudden exacerbation often presents with chills, fever, joint pain, general discomfort, white It is accompanied by systemic symptoms such as elevated blood counts. There are multiple cyclical episodes, with periods of remission and Palmoplantar pustulosis is limited to the hands and feet and occurs symmetrically. (3) Erythrodermic psoriasis, psoriasis Also known as dermabrasion, this is a severe form of psoriasis. Rather than applying large doses of glucocorticoids and tapering them too quickly or stopping the drugs suddenly, It is often characterized by diffuse redness, swelling, and scaling of the skin over the entire body. It is accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, and discomfort, and the superficial lymph nodes become swollen and the white blood cell count increases. (4) Psoriatic arthritis, also known as psoriatic arthritis. Psoriasis patients have the same symptoms as rheumatoid arthritis. It simultaneously causes joint damage such as the above, affecting large and small joints throughout the body, but it is most common in the interphalangeal joints of the fingers and toes. Joint involvement is most characteristic. The joints become red and painful, and the skin around the joints also becomes red and swollen. Joint symptoms often worsen or improve at the same time as skin symptoms. It is negative.
[0007] To date, there is no specific treatment for psoriasis, and the main treatments are topical treatments and physical therapy. Local treatment includes many treatments such as external drug treatment, systemic therapy, and Chinese herbal medicine treatment. , physical therapy, etc. Topical medications are mainly vitamin D3 analogues, glucocorticoids, Anthralin, bitechoic acid gel and cream, cokes, immunosuppressants, and other topical Medications such as tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, 0.03% camptothecin ointment, 5% salicylic acid Ointments, etc. Systemic treatments include methotrexate, tretinoin, cyclosporin, etc. porin, tacrolimus, mycofenate, e.g. etanercept, infliximab These include chemotherapeutic agents, biologics, and antibiotics. For moderate to severe cases, they are used as a single treatment. When this is insufficient, combination, alternating or sequential treatments are usually used. The effect is remarkable, but the therapeutic dose and toxic dose of methotrexate are very close, and The main side effects of the drug are teratogenicity, and adverse reactions to cyclosporine A include nephrotoxicity, hypertension, Adverse reactions to tacrolimus include nausea, vomiting, weakness, muscle fibrillation, and urinary tract irritation. Similar to cyclosporine A, mycophenolate esters have adverse reactions to gastrointestinal It has many side effects, including rash, anemia, and leukopenia, and is at risk of inducing infection and tumors. The recurrence rate is high and the long-term treatment effect is insufficient.
[0008] Atopic dermatitis (AD) is also known as hereditary allergic dermatitis. It is an allergic skin disease characterized by itching and polymorphous skin rash, which occurs at different ages. It is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin disease with different clinical manifestations. Since it often coexists with other atopic diseases such as rhinitis and asthma, it is considered a systemic disease. The prevalence of AD has gradually increased worldwide over the past 30 years, with the prevalence of AD increasing among children in developed countries. The prevalence of AD in China is 10% to 20%, and the increase in the prevalence of AD in China is comparable to that in Western developed countries, Japan, and South Korea. The number of school-age adolescents (6-20 years) in 1998 was 1.2%. The total prevalence of AD among preschool children (aged 1-7 years) in 10 cities in 2002 was 0.70%. The prevalence rate among children aged 3-6 years in the Shanghai area was 2.78% in 2012, and reached 8.3% in 2014. In 12 cities in our country, the prevalence of AD in children aged 1-7 years reached 12.94%, and the prevalence of AD in children from January to December was 30.48%. reached %.
[0009] The onset of AD is closely related to genetic and environmental factors. The mechanism of its onset is unclear. Although it is not certain, factors such as immune abnormalities, skin barrier dysfunction, and skin flora disorders are currently thought to be contributing to the onset of the condition. AD usually begins in infancy, and patients before the age of one year are at high risk for Alzheimer's disease. It accounts for approximately 50% of the body, shows a chronic course, and manifests clinically in a wide variety of ways. The most basic characteristics are The symptoms are dry skin, chronic eczema-like skin lesions, and pronounced pruritus. Patients may also have other allergic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Furthermore, chronic inflammation can lead to neurological disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis in chronic patients. The risk of developing cardiovascular disease and lymphoma is significantly increased.
[0010] Current treatments for AD include basic treatment (avoidance of contact hypersensitivity, etc.), topical medication (topical glucocorticoids), and and calcium-regulated neuronal phosphatase inhibitors), systemic treatment (oral antihistamines, immunosuppressants, etc.), These include topical medications, steroids, glucocorticoids, ultraviolet light therapy, and antibacterial therapy. Step therapy for mild and moderate cases is typically used. Existing treatments can alleviate symptoms, but they have certain limitations and many adverse reactions. The need for rapid action, relief of itching, and prevention of recurrence remains unmet.
[0011] Lupus erythematosus (LE) is a typical autoimmune connective tissue disease. Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) , systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lupus erythematosus profundus (LEP), neonatal lupus It is classified into subtypes such as non-leukemia (NLE) and drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DIL).
[0012] Discoid lupus erythematosus primarily affects the skin and is the mildest form of lupus erythematosus. In a small number of cases, there is mild visceral damage, and in a small number, systemic lupus erythematosus Although the majority of patients are asymptomatic, it is difficult to completely eliminate the condition. Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus is a rare and unique intermediate form of the disease, characterized by the appearance of skin lesions. The disease occurs repeatedly, and most patients have visceral lesions, but few are severely affected. Joint pain, muscle pain, recurrent low fever, and in a small number of patients, nephritis and changes in the blood system may also occur. Lupus erythematosus is also known as lupus erythematosus, profundus lupus, and intermediate lupus erythematosus. It is unstable in nature and can exist alone or later develop into discoid lupus. It may transform into systemic lupus erythematosus, or may occur simultaneously with systemic lupus erythematosus. Neonatal lupus erythematosus is characterized by cutaneous loop erythema and congenital cardiac conduction blockade. It is self-limiting and generally resolves by 4-6 months of age, but is not always associated with cardiac disease. Drug-induced lupus erythematosus is characterized by fever, joint pain, muscle pain, facial rash, oral ulcers, and Tumors are the main symptom, and serositis is also possible. The condition gradually improves after drug discontinuation, and severe patients may need to undergo drug treatment. This may be done.
[0013] Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease. It is an immune disease and the most severe of the various types of lupus erythematosus. It is characterized by damage to multiple organs in the body, repeated relapses and remissions, and the presence of large amounts of autoantibodies. The main clinical feature is that if treatment is not given in time, it can cause irreversible damage to the affected organs. The prevalence of SLE varies greatly depending on the region, but currently, Meanwhile, the prevalence of SLE worldwide is 0-241 people per 100,000 people, 30-70 people per 100,000 people in mainland China, and The male-to-female prevalence ratio is 1:10-12. The specific cause of SLE is not completely clear. However, multiple causes, including genetic, infectious, endocrine and environmental factors, are involved in combination. It is caused by the exposure of the immune system to apoptotic cells and the clearance of immune complexes. Defects in immune regulatory mechanisms are also important factors in the development of SLE. Increased T-cell helper activity, defective B-cell inhibition, and conversion of Th1 cells to Th2 cells B cell hyperactivation and the production of pathogenic autoantibodies are also contributing factors. Drug-induced steroids such as phenytoin sodium, penicillamine, quinidine, and Inderal May directly cause and progress lupus. Many SLE patients present with multisystem involvement. A small number of patients develop lupus erythematosus from other types of lupus, and some At the same time, other connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma, dermatomyositis, and Sjögren's syndrome may develop, and various It forms a comprehensive syndrome.
[0014] Current drug treatment for SLE is based on glucocorticoids and hydroxychloroquine. However, treatment with these drugs can lead to infections, liver and kidney dysfunction, and metabolic disorders. There may be side effects such as flu, which may require a reduction in dosage or discontinuation of the drug, and the progression of the disease may be delayed. Currently, there are no drugs that can inhibit SYK, and new drugs are being continuously developed. The kinases and JAK kinases are located upstream of two different signaling pathways that induce SLE, respectively. Therefore, SYK-JAK dual channel inhibitors are expected to be an effective approach for treating SLE. Currently, there are no approved JAK-SYK dual-target inhibitors on the market. The JAK-SYK dual-target inhibitor R333, which was approved for this indication, was discontinued due to a Phase II clinical trial failure. Development was announced to be terminated on October 24, 2013.
[0015] Therefore, autoimmune diseases, particularly psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, lupus erythematosus, etc. There is a need for the development of novel drugs that are useful for the treatment of immune-mediated skin diseases and autoimmune connective tissue diseases. There are. Summary of the Invention

[0048] 2. Test drug Acceptor: Compound (I) Positive control: dexamethasone (Dex) Solvent: 0.4% Tween 80 / 0.5% methylcellulose.
[0049] 3. Test Animals Seventy female Balb / c mice, 5–6 weeks old.
[0050] 4. Study Groups and Dosage Schedule The animals were randomly grouped into seven groups based on their body weight on the day before the start of the experiment, as detailed in Table 2. We divided it.
[0051] [Table 3]
[0052] modeling: The animals were shaved on the back one day before application to create an exposed skin area of approximately 2 cm x 3 cm. Mice were treated with 62.5 mg of 5% imiquimod cream at fixed time points daily for 14 days. The normal control group was treated with IMQ on the bare back and right ear of the mice. Vaseline was applied to the right ear at fixed times daily.
[0053] 5. Test Results 5.1 Effect of Compound (I) on Skin Thickness in IMQ-Induced Mice Skin thickness was measured every day from the start of the experiment until the end of the experiment. The skin thickness was measured by pressing the skin on the back of the mouse with the thumb of the left hand in the same direction as the mouse's body. The subcutaneous tissue was pinched with the index finger and the digital thickness gauge (BK-3281, manufacturer) was held in the right hand. Using a car (Shanghai Niohui), the left hand was placed 1 cm from the pinched area (near the center of the model area). The thickness of the skin wrinkles was measured so that the actual thickness was halved (skin thickness = measured value / 2).
[0054] The experimental results showed that the 5% imiquimod clonidine was significantly increased in the model group compared with the normal control group. After 14 days of continuous stimulation with Ream, skin thickness increased significantly. Compound (I) (3 mpk, 10 mpk, 30 mpk and 60 mpk) and dexamethasone (3 mpk) Both treatments significantly inhibited the increase in skin thickness (all five groups, model group P < 0.001 v s), as detailed in Table 3.

The scores were 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 points for each; suprapapilla: 0.5 points; and telangiectasia: 0.5 minutes.
[0068] To measure epidermal thickness, stained skin sections were first scanned with a Leica Aperio CS2 scanner. The scanned images were then analyzed using HALO analysis software. The skin epidermis was defined as an annotation layer in the software's "typing" template. The annotation layer is used to divide the epidermis into two lines, one above the other, and the thickness of the line is defined as the layer thickness. The skin thickness of each section was calculated at approximately 200 points, including the "thickness" option. expressed as a value.
[0069] The results of the experiment showed that in Group 1 (normal control group), the skin structure was completely visible under the microscope, and the cell morphology was The skin of the model group (Group 2) was normal and no obvious abnormal changes were observed. Abscesses, hyperkeratosis or hypokeratosis, thickening of the spinous layer, and moderate to severe inflammatory cell infiltration Compared with the normal control group 1, the 5% imiquimod cream was administered for 14 consecutive days. When stimulated with compound (I) (60 mpk), the pathological score of the skin tissue increased significantly. Treatment with samethasone (3 mpk) significantly improved the pathological scores of skin tissue in the model mice. (Compound (I) 60 mpk group: P < 0.01 vs. model group; dexamethasone group: P < 0.001 vs. model group) Compared with the normal control group (Group 1), the epidermal thickness of the skin in the model group (Group 2) was significantly increased. Treatment with compound (I) (30 mpk and 60 mpk) and dexamethasone (3 mpk) Compound (I) 2 significantly reduced the thickness of the epidermis of the model mice (P < 0.05 vs. The details are shown in Table 7.

[0085] The results of the experiment showed that OXA stimulation did not significantly affect the body weight of the mice. At the end point, compound (I) (3 mpk, 10 mpk, 30 mpk and 60 mpk) There was no significant effect on body weight. After dexamethasone treatment, the mice lost a significant amount of weight. The details are shown in Table 10.
[0086] [Table 11]
[0087] 5.2 Effect of Compound (I) on Skin Thickness in Mice with OXA-Induced Atopic Dermatitis The skin thickness (1.5 cm × 1.5 cm modeling area) was measured using a Mitutoyo digimatic indicator (M Using the Itsutoyo Digimatic Indicator, Model ID-C, USA, from the 1st to the 22nd day When skin thickness measurement and OXA immunostimulation were performed on the same day, skin thickness was measured once every two days. Priority was given to measuring skin thickness.
[0088] According to the experimental results, after OXA immunostimulation, the dorsal skin of mice (modeling area 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm) ) significantly increased in thickness. From the 17th day, compound (I) (30 mpk and 60 mpk) The increase in skin thickness in the modeling area was significantly inhibited compared with the 30 mpk group (17 and 22 days). Day 17 and 22 of the 60 mpk group: P < 0.05 vs. model group; Day 17 and 22 of the 60 mpk group: P < 0.01 vs. model group). From day 7, zolanin significantly inhibited the increase in skin thickness compared to the model group (day 7: P <0.01 vs. model group; 17 and 22 days: P<0.001 vs. model group).

[0094] 5.4 Skin epidermal thickness measurement and pathology scoring At the end of the study, tissue from the modeling area was collected and skin pathology scores and epidermal thickness were evaluated. For the measurement, hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed.
[0095] After the mice were sacrificed, the dorsal skin was removed and fixed in 10% neutral formalin for 24 hours. After dehydration, the skin sections were embedded in paraffin and cut into 4 μm sections. Staining with osmoticum revealed inflammatory cell infiltration and tissue changes in the stratum corneum, epidermis, and dermis under a microscope. The pathological scoring criteria were based on the aggregation of inflammatory cells and edema. The degree of dilation of the capillaries is rated as 1 mild, 2 moderate, or 3 severe points. It was classified as 2 points, severe 3 points.
[0096] The specific scoring criteria for inflammatory cell aggregation are: (1) 1 point is mild: inflammatory cells appearing in the dermis area; (2) 2 points is moderate: the inflammatory cell area in the dermis is only <10%. (3) 3 points is severe: the area of inflammatory cells in the dermis of the skin is ≥ 50%. And so it became.
[0097] The specific scoring criteria for skin edema are: (1) 1 point is mild: several areas at the junction of the epidermis and dermis are swollen; Edema is observed in some areas, but the length of the edema cell aggregates is less than 10% of the length of the dermis-epidermis boundary. (2) 2 points: moderate: edema cells occupy 10% to 50% of the borderline between the dermis and epidermis; (3) 3 points: severe: edematous cells occupy more than 50% of the length of the border between the dermis and epidermis.
[0098] The specific evaluation of capillary dilation is as follows: (1) 1 point is mild: Capillaries are dilated in 1-3 places; (2) 2 points for moderate: 3-6 capillary dilations; (3) 3 points for severe: more than 6 capillaries This resulted in the capillaries expanding.
[0099] To measure epidermal thickness, stained skin sections were first scanned with a Leica Aperio CS2 scanner. The scanned images were then analyzed using HALO analysis software. The skin epidermis was defined as an annotation layer in the software's "typing" template. The annotation layer is used to divide the epidermis into two lines, one above the other, and the thickness of the line is defined as the layer thickness. The skin thickness of each section was calculated at approximately 100 points, including the "thickness" option. expressed as a value.
[0100] The experimental results showed that the skin in the modeled area showed inflammatory cell aggregation, edema, and capillary dilation. According to the pathological scoring criteria mentioned in the experimental method, The chemical score reached 6.8. Compared with the model group, compound (I) (10 mpk, 30 mpk, and 60 m Treatment with pk significantly reduced the pathological score of the skin in that area (P<0.01 vs. model group). Dexamethasone treatment significantly reduced the pathological scores (P < 0.001 vs. model group). XA stimulation significantly increased the thickness of the epidermis in the modeled area on the back of the mice. In comparison with the control, compound (I) (10 mpk, 30 mpk, and 60 mpk) significantly reduced the epidermal thickness. Dexamethasone treatment increased the epidermal The thickness was significantly reduced (P < 0.001 vs. model group), as detailed in Table 14.
