Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medicinal chemistry and particularly relates to novel aromatic ring derivatives having amide substitutions and their use for the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment of diseases including, but not limited to, inflammatory or autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, dermatitis, lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, hidradenitis suppurativa, rheumatoid arthritis, and nephritis. [Background technology]
[0002] Janus kinases (JAKs) belong to a family of intracellular non-receptor tyrosine kinases that mediate the signal transduction of most cytokines within cells, including interleukins (ILs), interferons (IFNs), erythropoietin (EPO), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), somatotropin (GH), prolactin (PRL), thrombopoietin (TPO), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF). Because JAK family members mediate various cytokine signaling pathways, currently approved JAK inhibitors (targeting JAK1–3) inevitably cause adverse effects. Therefore, most FDA-approved JAK inhibitors carry a black box warning on their labels, significantly limiting their clinical application. While early JAK inhibitors, such as tofacitinib, have demonstrated favorable therapeutic effects, they all exhibit high inhibitory activity against JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3, resulting in significant adverse effects. The FDA requires tofacitinib to include a black box warning about the risk of thrombosis and death in its labeling. Meanwhile, other JAK inhibitors, such as upadacitinib and baricitinib, are associated with the risk of "serious infections, malignancies, and thrombosis." TYK2, a member of the JAK family, plays a key role in regulating signaling cascades downstream of IL-12, IL-23, and type I interferon receptors. IL-12 and IL-23 are currently considered important cytokines that influence psoriasis disease progression. Furthermore, TYK2-mediated signaling is also associated with various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including arthritis, dermatitis, lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, there is a strong need for novel TYK2 inhibitors with improved efficacy and safety. Summary of the Invention

[0077] Biological assays The present invention will now be further described and explained with reference to the following test examples, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0078] Test Example 1: In vitro cell inhibition assay The inhibitory effect of the compounds of formula (I) according to the present invention on the intracellular TYK2 signaling pathway was evaluated using the following method. Equipment used: SpectraMax Paradigm reader. Methods: In this experiment, the cell growth inhibitory activity of compounds was evaluated by measuring their effects on cell activity in vitro using the TYK2-expressing Ba / F3 cell line. Procedure: CellTiter-Glo buffer was thawed and allowed to warm to room temperature. CellTiter-Glo substrate was allowed to warm to room temperature and dissolved in buffer to prepare CellTiter-Glo standard solution. 98 μL of cell culture medium and 2 μL of gradient diluted compound solution were added to a 96-well flat-bottom clear drug plate. After allowing the drug plate to stand for 10 minutes, 50 μL of CellTiter-Glo standard solution was added. The drug plate was then shaken on an orbital shaker for 2 minutes and allowed to stand at room temperature for an additional 10 minutes. Finally, the luminescence signal was measured using a SpectraMax Paradigm reader. Data analysis: Cell growth inhibition rate data was processed using the following formula: Inhibition rate (Inh%) = 100 - (RLUDrug - RLUMin) / (RLUMax - RLUMin) × 100%. The inhibition rates of various concentrations of compounds were calculated using EXCEL, and the inhibition rate curves were plotted using GraphPad Prism software to calculate the maximum and minimum cell inhibition rates, IC 50 The relevant parameters such as the value were calculated.

[0081] Test Example 2: hERG potassium channel inhibition assay Equipment used: HEKA EPC10 patch clamp amplifier. Methods: In this experiment, the blocking effect of compounds on the current of HEK-293 cell lines stably expressing the hERG channel was measured using the manual patch clamp technique, and the risk of compounds to inhibit the cardiac hERG potassium channel was assessed by fitting concentration-effect relationships.
[0082] Equipment used: SpectraMax Paradigm reader. Methods: In this study, the cardiotoxicity of compounds was evaluated by measuring their inhibitory effects on cellular activity in vitro using expressing cell lines. Procedure: For patch clamp recording, a glass capillary tube was first pulled into the recording electrode using a microelectrode puller. The electrode, filled with intracellular solution, was then attached to the microelectrode holder. Using a microelectrode manipulator under an inverted microscope, the electrode was immersed in the extracellular solution and the electrode resistance (Rpip) was recorded. The electrode was then slowly brought into contact with the cell surface and suctioned by applying negative pressure, forming a GΩ seal. At this point, fast capacitance compensation was performed, and continuous negative pressure was applied to suction and rupture the cell membrane, forming a whole-cell recording mode. Finally, slow capacitance compensation was performed, and experimental parameters, including series resistance (Rs), were recorded. No leak compensation was performed. Drug administration began once the hERG current recorded from the whole cell stabilized. Each drug concentration was allowed to act for approximately 5 minutes (or until the current stabilized) before recording the next concentration. The coverslip with attached cells was placed in a recording chamber under an inverted microscope. A blank control extracellular solution and standard solutions of the test compounds were perfused into the recording chamber using gravity perfusion, with solutions exchanged using a peristaltic pump during recording. Currents measured in each cell in compound-free extracellular solution served as the respective control group. Each concentration was evaluated independently twice. All electrophysiological experiments were performed at room temperature. Data analysis: First, tail current after each drug concentration

TYK2 JH2 pseudokinase, Tb antibody, and tracer standard solutions were prepared using the dilution buffer. 5 μL of the TYK2 JH2 pseudokinase standard solution (final concentration 0.5 nM) was added to a 384-well assay plate and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 30 seconds. 5 μL of the Tb antibody (final concentration 1x) was added to a 384-well assay plate and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 30 seconds. Five microliters of tracer (final concentration 0.5 nM) was added to a 384-well assay plate and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 30 seconds. Incubation was carried out at room temperature for 60 minutes, followed by overnight at 4°C. Finally, the fluorescence signal ratio at 495 nm / 520 nm was measured using an Envision microplate reader (PerkinElmer). Data analysis: XLfit, a software developed by IDBS and integrated into the Microsoft Excel environment, was used to process and analyze the test data. First, the mean reaction signals of the high-signal control group and the low-signal control group were calculated separately. Then, the reaction inhibition rate of each compound well was calculated according to the formula: "Single-well inhibition rate % = 100% - (mean value of high-signal control group - single-well signal value) / (mean value of high-signal control group - mean value of low-signal control group) × 100%." The concentration and corresponding inhibition rate data were then imported into XLfit software, and the Dose Response One Site 205 model in the software was used to fit the inhibition rate-concentration curve with a four-parameter method to obtain the IC value of the compound. 50 The value was calculated.
[0086] [Table 6]
[0087] Conclusion: The selectivity level of the compounds according to the present invention against the JH1 target of JAK1-3 / TYK2 is comparable to that of BMS-986165, and neither exhibits inhibitory activity. Furthermore, their inhibitory activity against JAK1 JH2 is significantly reduced compared to BMS-986165. The compounds according to the present invention have good selectivity against TYK2 JH2 and low off-target effects.
[0088] Test Example 4: In vivo efficacy: imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like mouse model The efficacy of compounds according to the invention in an imiquimod-induced mouse psoriasis-like model can be evaluated using the following method.

The test site on the back of the mouse was shaved and cut into a 2 x 3 cm 2 An area of 1000 mm was exposed. Imiquimod ointment was applied to the dorsal skin of mice for six consecutive days to establish a mouse psoriasis model. From day 1 to day 6, it was administered to different groups of mice according to the experimental protocol. The experimental design of the imiquimod-induced mouse psoriasis-like model is shown in the table below.
[0089] [Table 7]
[0090] On the 7th day, the severity of dermatitis was evaluated and scored on a 5-point scale (0-4) (PASI score). Skin thickness: 0: The skin was smooth and wrinkle-free; 1: There were slight wrinkles on the skin at the edge of the drug application site; 2: There were slight wrinkles all over the skin at the drug application site; 3: The degree of wrinkles at the drug application site was more severe; 4: In addition to a score of 3, the mouse's condition included weight loss or poor condition.

Erythema: 0: The skin was smooth; 1: There was slight redness of the skin at the drug application site; 2: The skin at the drug application site was completely red; 3: The redness at the drug application site was more severe; 4: In addition to a score of 3, the mouse's condition included weight loss or poor condition.
[0091] A comparison of the PASI scores of various compounds in the imiquimod-induced mouse psoriasis-like model is shown in the table below.
[0092] [Table 8] Note: Compared with the model group, *** P<0.001, **P<0.01, data represent the mean PASI score within the group.
[0093] Conclusion: The compound of Example 3 effectively improved psoriasis symptoms in an imiquimod-induced mouse psoriasis-like model with a significant difference (P<0.001) compared to the model group, and showed superior efficacy compared to Benvitimod cream and BMS-986165. Compounds such as Examples 2, 4, 5, 34, 38, 54, 55, 57, 62, 86, and 91 showed similar pharmacological effects to the compound of Example 3, and therefore are not described in detail here for brevity.
[0094] In an imiquimod-induced mouse psoriasis-like model, compounds such as Examples 2, 3, 4, 5, 34, 38, 54, 55, 57, 62, 86, and 91 can effectively improve psoriasis symptoms by oral administration (gavage oral administration, 10 mg / kg, 25 mg / kg, 50 mg / kg, twice daily) with significant differences compared to the model group. Pharmacodynamic studies have shown that there are some differences in the antipsoriatic efficacy of the same compound when administered orally versus topically.
[0095] Test Example 5: In vivo mouse asthma model The efficacy of compounds according to the invention in an OVA-induced mouse asthma model can be assessed using the following method.
[0096] 5.1 Preparation of test samples Test sample: The compound of Example 3 was accurately weighed and dissolved in DMSO to prepare a solution with a concentration of 2 mg / mL.
[0097] 5.2 Model Preparation Thirty female BALB / c mice were bred for the adaptive control group. After one week, 10 mice were randomly selected as blank controls, and 20 mice were used as asthma models. The model mice were intraperitoneally injected with 0.2 mL of a sensitizing solution on days 0, 7, and 14 for sensitization. The sensitizing solution contained 50 μg of OVA and 2 mg of Al(OH)3. The blank control group received the same volume of saline. From the 21st to the 23rd day after sensitization, mice in the model group and the treatment group were stimulated by spraying 5% OVA for 30 minutes, and mice in the blank control group were stimulated by spraying saline for the same period.
[0098] 5.3 Group Assignment and Dosing 30 minutes before stimulation of the mice every day, 50 μL of saline was administered intratracheally to the mice in the blank control group and model group, and 50 μL of the corresponding drug was administered intratracheally to the mice in the Example 3 compound group once a day for three consecutive days. The animal groups and dosages are as shown in the table below.
[0099] [Table 9]
[0100] 5.4 Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) measurement After the final challenge, airway hyperresponsiveness was measured in each mouse group. Mice were placed in a whole-body plethysmograph. After recording baseline enhanced pause (Ph) values, mice were challenged with methacholine nebulization. Methacholine concentrations ranged from low to high: 0, 6.25, and 12.5 mg / mL. Each nebulization was 100 μL for 60 seconds. After each nebulization, mice were observed for signs of hypoxia, such as difficulty breathing, head scratching, or restlessness. Penh values were recorded for 3 minutes, and the average values were used to compare AHRs between each mouse group.
[0101] 5.5 Detection of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid After measuring airway hyperresponsiveness, mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation and fixed on a dissection tray. The mouse's abdomen and thoracic cavity were opened, and the neck skin and excess tissue were removed to expose the mouse trachea. A small incision was made in the transverse axis of the trachea with small scissors, and a 1 mL syringe needle was inserted and secured with surgical suture. 0.5 mL of pre-cooled phosphate buffer solution (PBS) was aspirated with a 1 mL syringe and slowly injected into the mouse lungs, then slowly withdrawn. Each mouse was lavaged once, and a total of approximately 0.4 mL of lavage fluid was collected. The number of inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was measured using a cell counter.
[0102] 5.6 Statistical analysis Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software, and the measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between groups, the LSD test for homogeneous variances, and the Dunnett t-test for heterogeneous variances. Differences were considered statistically significant at P < 0.05.
[0103] 5.7 Results 5.7.1 Effect on Mouse Enhanced Pose (Penh) Value The results are as follows:
[0104] [Table 10] NOTE: Compared to the blank control group, # P<0.05, ### P<0.001 compared with the model group * P<0.05.
[0105] Mice were sensitized with OVA + Al(OH)3 for 3 weeks, then challenged with 5% OVA for 3 consecutive days. Subsequently, the Penh values significantly increased (P<0.001 or P<0.05) compared with the blank control group. This demonstrated that the mouse asthma model was successfully established. Compared with the model group, administration of the compound of Example 3 to mice before stimulation could significantly reduce the enhanced pause (Penh) value (P<0.05).
[0106] 5.7.2 Effects on inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of mice The results are as follows:
[0107] [Table 11] NOTE: Compared to the blank control group, ## P<0.01, ### P<0.001 compared with the model group * P<0.05.
[0108] Mice were sensitized with OVA + Al(OH)3 for 3 weeks, and then challenged with 5% OVA for 3 consecutive days. A significant increase in the number of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was observed (P<0.001 or P<0.01). Pre-administration of the compound described in Example 3 before challenge significantly reduced the number of inflammatory cells (leukocytes, lymphocytes) compared to the model group.
[0109] Test Example 6: 4-week repeated dose toxicity test using rats 6.1 Materials Animals: SD rats, SPF grade, equal numbers of males and females, weighing 200±20g. Test sample: Example 3 formulation cream (2%) based on the preparation of commercially available Benvitimod cream. Positive control: BMS-986165. Reagents: urethane, hematology analyzer reagents, automated clinical chemistry analyzer reagents, automated coagulation analyzer reagents, and electrolyte analyzer reagents. Equipment: electronic balance, hematology analyzer, fully automatic biochemistry analyzer, fully automatic coagulation analyzer, and electrolyte analyzer.
[0110] 6.2 Group Assignment and Dosing Regimen Grouping: The animals were randomly divided into three groups based on body weight: a blank control group, an Example 3 compound group, and a BMS-986165 group, with 10 animals in each group, with an equal number of males and females. Dosing regimen: The Example 3 compound group was topically applied to the skin twice daily, and the BMS-986165 group was administered orally twice daily by force. The administration period was 4 consecutive weeks (28 days). The specific administration regimen is shown in the table below.
[0111] [Table 12]
[0112] 6.3 Observed parameters Daily clinical observations and weight measurements. After the final administration, the rats were fasted for over 16 hours, and the next day they were anesthetized and blood was collected from the abdominal aorta. Blood tests (EDTA-2K anticoagulant), blood biochemistry tests (serum), and coagulation function tests (separated plasma using sodium citrate anticoagulant) were performed. After the rats were euthanized, the tissues and organs were dissected and observed grossly, and the organ weights and indices (heart, liver, spleen, kidney, and thymus) were measured. Skin and lung tissues from the administration site were collected and stained with HE to observe changes in epidermal thickness, inflammatory cells in the skin, and lung lesions.
[0113] 6.4 Results [Table 13] Note: Compared to the blank control: * P<0.05, ** P<0.01. WBC: white blood cells, Lymph: lymphocytes, Mono: monocytes, Gran: granulocytes, PLT: platelets, APTT: activated partial thromboplastin time, TB: total bilirubin.
[0114] The results of blood tests showed that BMS-986165 could significantly reduce the white blood cell count (P<0.01) and platelet count (P<0.05) in rats, while the compound of Example 3 had no significant effect on the white blood cell count (P>0.05). The results of the coagulation function test showed that BMS-986165 could significantly prolong the APTT (P<0.01), while the compound of Example 3 had no significant effect on the APTT (P>0.05). The results of blood biochemistry tests showed that BMS-986165 could significantly increase the total bilirubin (TB) level in serum (P<0.05), while the compound of Example 3 had no significant effect on total bilirubin (P>0.05). Furthermore, the compound of Example 3 showed no significant effects on general condition, body weight, organ index, skin and lung pathology, other hematological, coagulation, and blood biochemistry indices, indicating low toxicity potential. Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention have shown low toxicity potential in skin irritation tests, skin sensitization tests, and oral acute toxicity tests.
