Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceuticals, and more specifically to compounds that improve the bioavailability of desipramine, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and uses thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] Desipramine is an antidepressant that works by blocking the reuptake of monoamine neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and serotonin, and is used to treat various types of depression. The most common existing dosage form of desipramine hydrochloride is tablets, available in 25 mg and 50 mg doses. When administered orally, it is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and its absorption is not affected by food. It is widely distributed in the body, easily crosses the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, and accumulates in the brain. There is a significant positive correlation between blood concentration and the clinical effect of antidepressant, and in healthy individuals, better results can be obtained with blood concentrations of 115-155 μg / L or higher. Desipramine has a peak time of 4-6 hours and is mainly metabolized in the liver. Initially, 25 mg is administered orally three times a day, gradually increasing to 50 mg three to four times a day, and in patients with severe depression, up to 300 mg per day may be administered. Problems such as low bioavailability, high dosages, and poor patient compliance negatively impact the effectiveness of disease treatment. [Overview of the project]

[0019] The term "prodrug" refers to a functional derivative of the compound of formula (I) that is readily converted to the compound of formula (I) in vivo. Suitable derivatives can be selected and prepared by the prior art, which is well known to those skilled in the art.

[0020] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic salt of the compound of the present invention. Exemplary salts include, but are not limited to, sulfates, citrates, acetates, oxalates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, nitrates, acidic sulfates, isonicotinates, lactates, salicylates, acidic citrates, succinates, maleates, fumarates, glucons, formates, mesylates, and pamoates. “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” may also include another molecule, such as a maleate or other counterion. The counterion stabilizes the charge in the parent compound. “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” may have more than one charged atom, and multiple charged atoms may have multiple counterions.

[0021] If the compound of the present invention is a base, the desired "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" can be prepared by treating the free base with an appropriate method, for example, an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, or phosphoric acid, or an organic acid such as galactopyranoside acids such as acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, salicylic acid, glucuronic acid, or galacturonic acid, α-hydroxy acids such as citric acid or tartaric acid, amino acids such as glutamic acid, aromatic acids such as benzoic acid or cinnamic acid, or sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid.

[0022] If the compound of the present invention is an acid, the desired "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" can be prepared by a suitable method, for example, by treating the free acid with an inorganic or organic base such as an amine, alkali metal hydroxide, or alkaline earth metal hydroxide.

The term "amorphous" refers to a state in which a material lacks long-range order at the molecular level and may exhibit solid or liquid physical properties depending on the temperature. Typically, such materials do not exhibit a distinct X-ray diffraction pattern and exhibit solid properties, but are formally described as liquids. Upon heating, a change in properties occurs from solid to liquid, characterized by a phase transition, usually a secondary phase transition ("glass transition"). The term "crystalline" refers to a solid phase in which a material has an internal structure with regularly arranged molecules and exhibits a distinctive X-ray diffraction pattern with distinct peaks. Such materials also exhibit liquid properties when sufficiently heated, but the change from solid to liquid is characterized by a phase transition, usually a first-order phase transition ("melting point").

[0024] As used herein, the term “polymorph” refers to different solid crystalline phases resulting from the existence of two or more different molecular configurations in the solid state of a particular compound of the present invention. A particular compound of the present invention may exist in multiple crystalline forms, and the present invention is intended to encompass each crystalline form and mixtures thereof.

[0025] As used herein, the term “solvate” refers to a combination or complex of one or more solvent molecules with a compound of the present invention. Examples of solvents for forming solvates include, but are not limited to, water, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, and ethanolamine. Since the compounds of the present invention may exist in a non-solvated form or in a solvated form with a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent such as water or ethanol, the present invention includes both solvated and non-solvated forms.

[0026] The compounds of the present invention may contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes on one or more atoms constituting the compound, and the term “isotope” means having the same number of atoms but having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number that is common in nature. For example, the compounds can be labeled with radioactive isotopes such as deuterium (2H), tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I), or C-14 (14C). All isotopic compositional variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are included within the scope of the present invention. Isotope variants can provide specific therapeutic benefits, such as deuterium enrichment that can extend the half-life in vivo or reduce the required dose, or provide standard compounds that can be used for characterizing biological samples. The isotopic-rich compounds of formula (1) may be prepared using suitable isotopic-rich reagents and / or isotopic-rich compounds without requiring many experiments, by ordinary techniques well known to those skilled in the art, or by methods similar to those described herein in the schemes and examples.

[0036] For preparing pharmaceutical compositions using the compounds of the present invention, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may be solid or liquid. Solid formulations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. The solid carrier may also function as one or more substances that act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, preservatives, tablet disintegrants, or encapsulating materials.

[0037] In powder form, the carrier is a finely ground solid that is mixed with the finely ground active ingredient.

[0038] In tablets, the active ingredient is mixed with a carrier having the necessary adhesive properties in the appropriate proportions and compressed into the desired shape and size.

[0039] Powders and tablets preferably contain 5%, or 10% to about 70%, of the active compound. Suitable carriers include magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, low-melting-point wax, and cocoa butter. The term "formulation" includes the active compound formulated with an encapsulating material as a carrier, where the encapsulating material provides a shell, and here the active ingredient is surrounded by the carrier, with or without, and thus bound to the carrier. Tablets, powders, capsules, and pills can be used as solid forms suitable for oral administration.

[0040] To prepare the suppositories, first, a low-melting-point wax such as fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter slurry is melted, and then the active ingredient is uniformly dispersed in it by stirring. After that, this melted homogeneous mixture is poured into a mold of the appropriate size and cooled to harden.

[0041] Compositions suitable for vaginal administration may exist in the form of vaginal suppositories, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams, or sprays, and may contain an active ingredient in addition to a suitable carrier known in the art.

[0042] Liquid formulations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, such as aqueous solutions or water-propylene glycol solutions. For example, a liquid formulation for parenteral injection may be prepared as a water-polyethylene glycol solution.

[0043] Therefore, the compounds used in the present invention may be prepared as formulations for parenteral administration (e.g., injections such as bolus injection or continuous infusion), and may be present in unit dose form in ampoules, pre-filled syringes, small volume infusion bags, or multi-dose containers together with added preservatives. The composition may take the form of a suspension, solution, or emulsion of an oily or aqueous carrier, and may contain formulation components such as suspending agents, stabilizers, and / or dispersants. The active ingredient may also be in powder form, obtained by sterile isolation of a sterile solid or by freeze-drying a solution, and can be reconstituted with a suitable carrier such as sterile non-pyrogenic water immediately before use.

[0044] An aqueous solution suitable for oral administration may be prepared by dissolving the active ingredient in water and adding the desired colorants, flavoring agents, stabilizers, and thickeners.

[0045] An aqueous suspension suitable for oral administration may be prepared by dispersing a micronized active ingredient in water containing a viscous substance such as natural or synthetic gum, resin, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, or other known suspending agents.

[0046] The invention further includes solid formulations designed to be converted into liquid formulations for oral administration immediately before use. Such liquid formulations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. Such formulations may contain, in addition to the active ingredient, colorants, flavoring agents, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizers, and the like.

[0047] For topical administration to the epidermis, the compounds of the present invention may be prepared as ointments, creams, lotions, or transdermal patches. For example, ointments and creams may be prepared by adding a suitable thickener and / or gelling agent to an aqueous or oily base. Lotions may be prepared using an aqueous or oily base and typically further contain one or more of the following: emulsifiers, stabilizers, dispersants, suspending agents, thickeners, or colorants.

[0048] The solution or suspension can be administered directly into the nasal cavity using conventional methods such as droppers, pipettes, or sprayers. The composition may be in single-dose or multi-dose form.

[0049] Administration to the airways may also be achieved by aerosol, in which the active ingredient is packaged in a pressurized package with a suitable propellant, including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) such as dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, or dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide, or other suitable gases. The aerosol may also appropriately further contain surfactants such as lecithin. The drug dose can be controlled by a stock valve.

[0050] In compositions for administration to the airways (including compositions for intranasal administration), the compounds typically have small particle sizes, for example, on the order of 5 microns or less. Such particle sizes can be obtained by methods known in the art, such as micronization.

[0051] If necessary, a composition suitable for sustained release of the active ingredient can be used.

[0052] Tablets or capsules for oral administration, and liquids and continuous infusions for intravenous administration are preferred compositions.

[0053] More detailed information regarding formulation and administration techniques can be found in the latest edition of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Maack Publishing Co., Easton, PA).

[0054] The amount of the active ingredient in a unit dose formulation may vary depending on the specific use and the effect of the active ingredient, and can be adjusted from 0.01 mg to about 0.1 g. For example, in pharmaceutical use, this drug may be administered three times a day in capsules ranging from 0.01 to about 100 mg, and this composition may further contain other suitable therapeutic agents as needed.

[0055] Treatment method In therapeutic use, the compounds used in this invention are administered at a starting dose of 0.001 mg / kg body weight to 10 mg / kg body weight per day. However, these doses may vary depending on the patient's needs, the severity of the condition being treated, and the compound used. Generally, treatment is started with a dose lower than the optimal dose of the compound, and then gradually increased to achieve the best results. For convenience, the total daily dose may also be divided into several doses throughout the day, if necessary.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0061] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below, but it is clear that the examples described are not all but a part of the examples of the present invention. All other examples that can be obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort based on the examples of the present invention are included within the scope of the protection of the present invention. The ratios of solvents used in the purification steps (e.g., preparative thin-layer chromatography, preparative chromatography, etc.) in the following examples are by volume.

[0062] Example 1 In this example, compound DM-C1, named 1-(((3-(10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine-5-yl)propyl)(methyl)carbamoyl)oxy)ethyl L-tryptophan, was prepared. The synthesis scheme for compound DM-C1 in this embodiment is shown below and specifically includes the following steps. [ka]

[0063] Step 1: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, compound 1 (4.5 g, 16.89 mmol), sodium bicarbonate (3 g, 35.71 mmol), and dichloromethane (60 mL) were added sequentially to the reaction flask. The reaction mixture was cooled to 5°C, and compound 2 (2.58 g, 18.58 mmol) was slowly added dropwise. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred at 5-10°C for 5 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC (thin-layer chromatography) (petroleum ether (PE) / ethyl acetate (EA) = 4 / 1). After monitoring, any undissolved solids were removed by filtration, and the filtrate was collected. The organic phase was washed twice with 1N HCl solution (50 mL), then with saturated brine (50 mL), and the organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The filtrate was filtered, concentrated, and 5.85 g of a colorless oily liquid was obtained and used directly in the next step without purification.

[0064] Step 2: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, compound 4 (2.95 g, 8.72 mmol), sodium iodide (3 g, 20.11 mmol), potassium carbonate (2.78 g, 20.11 mmol), and N,N-dimethylformamide (40 mL) were sequentially added to the reaction flask. After homogeneous stirring of the mixture, compound 3 (2.5 g, 6.70 mmol) was added at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Based on the results of LCMS monitoring (see Table 1 for monitoring conditions), after the reaction was complete, the reaction solution was poured into 400 mL of water. The precipitated oily insoluble material was collected and dissolved in 100 mL of ethyl acetate. The solution was sequentially washed with 100 mL of water and 100 mL of saturated brine, the organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated, and the residue was separated by pre-phase preparative chromatography (PE / EA = 1 / 1) to obtain pale yellow solid compound 5 (630 mg, yield: 14%).

[0065] Step 3: Compound 5 (300 mg, 0.44 mmol), Pd(OH)2 / C (150 mg), and ethanol (5 mL) were added sequentially to the reaction flask. After replacing the atmosphere in the reaction flask five times with a hydrogen balloon, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After the reaction was completed as confirmed by LC-MS monitoring, the filtrate was collected and the filtrate cake was washed twice with ethanol (2 mL x 2). The filtrates were combined and separated by reverse-phase HPLC preparative chromatography (ammonium bicarbonate aqueous solution / acetonitrile system). The separation method is shown in Table 2 below. The prepared solution was directly freeze-dried to obtain a white solid compound DM-C1 (120 mg, yield: 50%). 1 H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.87 (s, 1H), 7.50 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.36 - 7.32 (m, 1H), 7.16 - 6.88 (m, 12H), 6.61 - 6.51 (m, 1H), 3.73 - 3.53 (m, 3H), 3.27 - 3.16 (m, 2H), 3.08 (s, 4H), 3.02 - 2.81 (m, 2H), 2.73 - 2.68 (m, 3H), 1.67 - 1.64 (m, 2H), 1.38 - 1.02 (m, 4H). LCMS: m / z[M+H] +=541.27.

[0066] As can be seen from LC-MS (see Table 3 for detection method) and NMR, the obtained product is a pair of diastereomers (molar ratio approximately 1 / 1) having the following structural formula. [ka]

After the reaction was complete, the undissolved sodium bicarbonate solid was first removed by filtration, and the filtrate was collected. The organic phase was washed twice with 1N HCl solution, then with saturated brine, and the organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The organic phase was concentrated to obtain a colorless oily liquid (13 g, yield: 92.8%), which was used directly in the next step without purification.

[0071] Step 2: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, compound 4 (500 mg, 4.02 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1.73 g, 13.41 mmol), and N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL) were sequentially added to the reaction flask and mixed uniformly. Then, compound 3 (1 g, 2.68 mmol) was added at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was separated by reverse-phase HPLC preparative chromatography (see Table 4), and the separated solution was freeze-dried to obtain DM-C2, a yellow oily liquid (150 mg, yield: 12.2%). The product was detected by LC-MS (see Table 5 for detection method) and NMR. 1 H NMR (400 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 8.03 (t, J = 6.4 Hz, 2H), 7.59 - 7.55 (m, 1H), 7.45 - 7.41 (m, 2H), 7.12 - 7.02 (m, 7H), 6.91 (t, J = 7.2 Hz, LCMS: m / z [M+H] + =459.2.

Stir the reaction at room temperature for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, directly concentrate the reaction solution to obtain a crude product. Separate the crude product by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (water (0.225% formic acid) / acetonitrile system) to obtain compound DM-A1 as a white solid product (260 mg, yield: 52%). 1 H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.19 - 7.03 (m, 6H), 6.96 - 6.84 (m, 2H), 3.98 - 3.59 (m, 3H), 3.33 (m, 2H), 2.89 (s, 2H), 2.69 (s, 1H), 2.37 - 2.14 (m, 2H), 1.69 (m, 3H), 1.51 (m, 1H).

[0094] Experimental Example 1 Pharmacokinetic experiment in SD rats after single administration of DM-A1 and desipramine Pharmacokinetic Experiment: Eighteen SD rats were randomly divided into three groups of six. Each rat weighed between 180 and 200 g, and the test drugs were DM-A1 and desipramine hydrochloride, respectively. The test drug solution was prepared using a carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution (prepared by mixing 5 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide with 95 ml of a 0.5 wt% aqueous solution of carboxymethylcellulose sodium) as the solvent. The dosage and administration method are as shown in the table below. Rats were fasted for at least 12 hours and up to 18 hours before intragastric administration, and fed 4 hours after administration. Fluid intake was not restricted before or after administration. Fasting and fluid intake were not restricted before or after tail vein injection. All administrations were single doses, and the administration volume was 5 mL / kg.

[0095] [Table 14]

[0096] Blood samples were collected before administration (0h) and at 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after administration. Plasma was obtained from the samples, and DM-A1 and desipramine were quantified by LC-MS / MS. The chromatography conditions were as follows: ACE 5 C18 column, 50 × 2.1 mm; mobile phase A: aqueous solution of 0.1% FA, B: ACN containing 0.1% FA, gradient elution, elution procedure: 0 → 0.3 min → 0.7 min → 1.5 min → 1.6 min → 2.1 min, volume percentage of mobile phase A: 70% → 70% → 5% → 5% → 70% ~ 70%, volume percentage of mobile phase B: 30% → 30% → 95% → 95% → 30% → 30%, column temperature: 45°C, flow rate: 0.4 mL / min. The MS conditions were as follows: Ionization mode of DM-A1: Positive / MRM, Q1 / Q3: 396.3 / 378.2, DP: 70V, CE: 15V. Ionization mode of desipramine hydrochloride: Positive / MRM, Q1 / Q3: 266.9 / 236.2, DP: 70V, CE: 21V. The following pharmacokinetic parameters for DM-A1 and desipramine are defined as the area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC). 0-t ), maximum blood concentration (C max), peak hours (T max ), half-life (t 1 / 2 ), clearance (CL), and bioavailability (F) were calculated. The experimental results are shown in the table below.

[0097] [Table 15]

[0098] Experimental results: When DM-A1 was administered intragastricly to SD rats, desipramine was not detected in the plasma. Therefore, desipramine-related parameters were not evaluated or calculated in the DM-A1 group (group 1). The DM-A1-related parameters are shown in the table. On the other hand, desipramine was detected in both the intragastric administration group and the intravenous injection group (groups 2 and 3).

[0099] Experimental Example 2: Pharmacokinetic experiments on single-dose administration of DM-C2, DM-C3, and desipramine to SD rats. Pharmacokinetic Experiment: Fourteen SD rats were randomly divided into three groups. One group consisted of six rats, and the other two groups consisted of four rats each. Each rat weighed between 180 and 200 g, and the test drugs were DM-C2, DM-C3, and desipramine hydrochloride, respectively. The test drug solutions were prepared using a carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution (prepared by mixing 5 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide with 95 ml of a 0.5 wt% carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution) as the solvent. The dosage and administration method are shown in the table below. The rats were fasted for at least 12 hours and up to 18 hours before intragastric administration, and fed 4 hours after administration. Water intake was not restricted before or after administration. All administrations were single doses, and the administration volume was 10 mL / kg.

[0100] [Table 16]

[0101] In this experiment, the dose conversion used desipramine hydrochloride as a baseline, and the doses of the other two test substances were converted using the same molar amount of desipramine. Factors such as the type and purity of the salt were taken into consideration in the calculation process.

[0102] Blood samples were collected before administration (0h) and at 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after administration. Plasma was obtained from the samples, and DM-C2, DM-C3, and desipramine were quantified by LC-MS / MS. The chromatography conditions were as follows. XB-C8 (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 5 μm), Welch; Mobile phase A: 0.1% FA aqueous solution, B: 0.1% FA-containing ACN, gradient elution, elution procedure: 0.01 min → 1 min → 3 min → 4.5 min → 4.51 min → 5.5 min, Volume percentage of mobile phase A: 80% → 80% → 2% → 2% → 80% → 80%, Volume percentage of mobile phase B: 20% → 20% → 98% → 98% → 20% → 20%, Column temperature: 45°C, Flow rate: 0.5 mL / min. MS conditions are as follows: DM-C2 ionization mode: Positive / MRM, Q1 / Q3: 459.43 / 234.3, DP: 58 V, CE: 30 V. Ionization mode of DM-C3: Positive / MRM, Q1 / Q3: 484.4 / 311.4, DP: 90V, CE: 22V. Ionization mode of desipramine hydrochloride: Positive / MRM, Q1 / Q3: 267.4 / 71.9, DP: 80V, CE: 20V.

[0103] The pharmacokinetic parameter of desipramine is the area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC). 0-t ), maximum blood concentration (C max ), peak hours (T max ), half-life (t 1 / 2 ), and the clearance (CL) was calculated.

[0104] The experimental results are shown in the table below.

[0105] [Table 17]

[0106] Experimental results: DM-C2 and DM-C3 were not detected in the plasma samples of the DM-C2 and DM-C3 groups, therefore their related parameters were not evaluated or calculated. On the other hand, desipramine was detected in both the DM-C2 and DM-C3 groups. The table shows the parameters for desipramine. In particular, the AUC in the DM-C3 group was high. 0-t (9882.5 h*ng / mL) and C max All of the values ​​(681.75 ng / mL) are the AUC of the desipramine hydrochloride group. 0-t (4653.33 h*ng / mL) and C max The levels were higher than (400 ng / mL). This suggests that DM-C3 may increase systemic exposure to desipramine in vivo in SD rats.

[0107] Experimental Example 3: Pharmacokinetic experiments on single-dose administration of DM-C3 and desipramine to SD rats. Pharmacokinetic Experiment: Eighteen SD rats were randomly divided into three groups of six. Each rat weighed 180-200g, and the test drugs were DM-C3 and desipramine hydrochloride, respectively. The test drug solutions were prepared using a carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution (prepared by mixing 5ml of dimethyl sulfoxide with 95ml of a 0.5wt% carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution) as the solvent. The dosage and administration method are as shown in the table below. The rats were fasted for at least 12 hours before intragastric administration, and feed was resumed 4 hours after administration. Water intake was not restricted before or after administration. All administrations were single doses, and the administration volume was 10mL / kg, 6mL / kg, and 2mL / kg for each group, in that order.

[0108] [Table 18]

[0109] In this experiment, dose conversion was performed using the dose of desipramine hydrochloride administered intragastricly as a baseline, and the dose of DM-C3 was converted using the same molar amount of desipramine. Factors such as the type and purity of the salt were taken into consideration in the calculation process.

[0110] For intravenous injection, blood samples were collected before administration (0h) and at 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after administration. For intragastric administration, blood samples were collected before administration (0h) and at 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after administration. Plasma was obtained from the samples, and DM-C3 and desipramine were quantified by LC-MS / MS. The chromatography conditions were as follows. YMC Triart C18 column, 5 μm 50 × 2.0 mm; mobile phase A: aqueous solution of 0.1% FA (formic acid), B: ACN containing 0.1% FA (formic acid), gradient elution, elution procedure: 0 → 1.0 min → 1.8 min → 1.9 min → 2.6 min, volume percentage of mobile phase B: 30% → 95% → 95% → 30% → stop, column temperature: 35°C, flow rate: 0.8 mL / min. MS conditions are as follows: DM-C3 ionization mode: Positive / MRM, Q1 / Q3: 484.5 / 311, DP: 98 V, CE: 23 V. Desipramine hydrochloride ionization mode: Positive / MRM, Q1 / Q3: 267.2 / 236.3, DP: 40 V, CE: 22 V.

[0111] The pharmacokinetic parameter of desipramine is the area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC). 0-t ), maximum blood concentration (C max ), peak hours (T max ), average stay time (MRT last ), and the bioavailability (F%) was calculated.

[0112] The experimental results are shown in the table below.

[0113] [Table 19]

[0114] Experimental results: DM-C3 was not detected in the plasma samples of the DM-C3 group, therefore its related parameters were not evaluated or calculated. AUC of the DM-C3 group. last(9984 h*ng / mL) and C max (682 ng / mL) is the AUC for the oral desipramine hydrochloride administration group. last (8964 h*ng / mL) and C max The level was higher than (712.8 ng / mL). The absolute bioavailability of the DM-C3 group (116.84%) was higher than that of the oral desipramine hydrochloride group (104.9%).

[0115] Since DM-C3 was not detected in the DM-C3 group samples, its related parameters were not evaluated or calculated.

[0116] The number of animals No. 2 and No. 8 in the DM-C3 oral administration group and the desipramine hydrochloride oral administration group was abnormal, and individual differences in the animals were thought to lead to detection bias, so they were not included in the parameter calculations.

[0117] In summary, after oral administration of DM-C3 to SD rats, the amount of desipramine produced by metabolism and entering the systemic circulation was greater than the amount produced by oral administration of desipramine hydrochloride. This indicates that DM-C3 can increase the systemic exposure of desipramine in SD rats and improve its oral bioavailability.

[0118] Experimental Example 4: Pharmacokinetic experiments on single-dose administration of DM-D4 and desipramine to SD rats. Pharmacokinetic experiment: Twelve SD rats were randomly divided into two groups of six. Each rat weighed 180-200g, and the test drugs were DM-D4 and desipramine hydrochloride, respectively. The test drug solutions were prepared using a carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution (prepared by mixing 5ml of dimethyl sulfoxide with 95ml of a 0.5wt% carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution) as the solvent. The dosage and administration method are as shown in the table below. The rats were fasted for at least 12 hours, and up to 18 hours, before intragastric administration, and fed 4 hours after administration. Water intake was not restricted before or after administration. All administrations were single doses, and the administration volume was 10mL / kg.

[0119] [Table 20]

[0120] In this experiment, the dose conversion used desipramine hydrochloride as a baseline, and the dose of DM-D4 was converted using the same molar amount of desipramine. Factors such as the type and purity of the salt were taken into consideration in the calculation process.

[0121] Blood samples were collected before administration (0h) and at 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after administration. Plasma was obtained from the samples, and DM-D4 and desipramine were quantified by LC-MS / MS. The chromatography conditions were as follows. ACE Excel5 C18, 2.1x50mm, 5μm; Mobile phase A: Aqueous solution of 0.1% FA and 5mM NH4FA (ammonium formate), B: ACN containing 0.1% FA, gradient elution, elution procedure: 0.01min→0.5min→1.2min→2.0min→2.1min→3.0min, Volume percentage of mobile phase A: 65%→65%→5%→5%→65%→65%, Volume percentage of mobile phase B: 35%→35%→95%→95%→35%→35%, Column temperature: 40℃, Flow rate: 0.5mL / min. MS conditions are as follows: Ionization mode of DM-D4: Positive / MRM, Q1 / Q3: 421.3 / 234.2, DP: 80V, CE: 35V. Ionization mode of desipramine hydrochloride: Positive / MRM, Q1 / Q3: 267.2 / 72.2, DP: 80V, CE: 30V.

[0122] The pharmacokinetic parameter of desipramine is the area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC). 0-t and AUC 0-∞ ), maximum blood concentration (C max ), peak hours (T max ), half-life (t 1 / 2 ), and the clearance (CL) was calculated.

[0123] The experimental results are shown in the table below.

[0124] [Table 21]

[0125] [Table 22]

[0126] Experimental results: Since DM-D4 was not detected in any of the samples in the DM-D4 group, its related parameters were not evaluated or calculated. AUC of the DM-D4 group 0-t (2805 hng / mL) and C max (222.5 ng / mL) is the AUC of the desipramine hydrochloride group. 0-t (1895 hN / mL) and C max The level was higher than (173 ng / mL). When DM-D4 was orally administered to SD rats, the amount of desipramine produced by metabolism and entering the systemic circulation was higher than the amount produced by oral administration of desipramine hydrochloride, indicating that DM-D4 can increase the systemic exposure of desipramine in vivo in SD rats and improve its oral bioavailability.
