Detailed Description of the Invention
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to a Chinese patent having application number 202310060807.3, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on January 17, 2023, and having the disclosure title "CYP11A1 INHIBITOR COMPOUND, AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR AND USETHEREOF," and application number 202310019758.9, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on January 6, 2023, and having the disclosure title "CYP11A1 INHIBITOR COMPOUND, AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR AND USETHEREOF," and application number 202310019758.9, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on June 7, 2023, and having the disclosure title "CYP11A1 INHIBITOR COMPOUND, AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR AND USETHEREOF," each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The present application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese patent application number 202310670257.7 bearing the title "US ETHEREOF". [Technical field] The present disclosure relates to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis, in particular to CYP11A1 (cytochrome P450 monooxygenase 11A1) inhibitor compounds, and methods for preparing and using the same, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, which can be used to treat steroid hormone-dependent diseases.
[0002] [Background technology] Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor of the genitourinary system in elderly men. Its incidence and mortality rates rank second and fifth, respectively, among the overall incidence and mortality rates of male malignancies worldwide, first and third, respectively, among men in Europe and the United States, and sixth and seventh, respectively, among men in China. In recent years, due to the aging of China's population and other factors, the incidence and mortality rates of prostate cancer have shown a significant upward trend, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly severe. GLOBOCAN2020 data show that approximately 115,000 new cases of prostate cancer were reported in China in 2020, accounting for 4.7% of all male malignancies. In the United States in 2019, new cases of prostate cancer accounted for 20% of new male cancer patients that year.
[0003] For patients with stage I to III prostate cancer, existing standard treatments include surgery and radiation therapy. Treatment outcomes for early stage prostate cancer (stage I / II) are relatively good, with a 5-year disease-free progression period of up to 90%. However, the cure rate for advanced prostate cancer is extremely low. Currently, the 5-year survival rate for advanced prostate cancer is only 30%.
[0004] Steroid hormone binding to cognate receptors regulates the growth of most prostate and breast cancers. In patients with stage IV or high-risk prostate cancer, androgen ablation by surgery or chemical castration can effectively control disease progression. First-generation antiandrogen therapies, such as flutamide and bicalutamide, are used to treat this stage of prostate cancer.
[0005] Most prostate cancer patients eventually develop castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Castration reduces plasma testosterone levels, but the disease still progresses. This is characterized by high expression of the androgen receptor (AR), and trace amounts of androgens in the body can still activate androgen receptor (AR) signaling, thus resulting in continuous activation of the AR pathway.
[0006] Currently, there are limited treatment options for CRPC. Abiraterone and enzalutamide are new therapies developed for the continuous activation of androgen receptors in CRPC, and can treat advanced CRPC by further inhibiting androgen synthesis or blocking the binding of trace amounts of androgen to the receptor in the body.
[0007] However, a significant proportion of prostate cancer patients are insensitive to abiraterone or enzalutamide. Furthermore, most patients who initially respond develop new resistance within 1–2 years of abiraterone or enzalutamide therapy. However, most abiraterone-resistant or enzalutamide-resistant tumors still express highly persistently activated AR.
[0008] Adrenal and prostate cancers themselves can synthesize pregnenolone, progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, and their derivatives, which can then be converted into more active androgens that bind and activate AR. Increased pregnenolone levels in patients treated with abiraterone are thought to be the primary mechanism driving resistance, particularly in tumors with point mutations in the androgen receptor. All steroid hormones in the body are derived from the conversion of a single precursor (cholesterol) to pregnenolone. This reaction step, catalyzed by cytochrome P450scc (cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, also known as cytochrome P450 monooxygenase 11A1, CYP11A1), is the rate-limiting first step in a series of monooxygenation reactions to catalyze steroidogenesis, whereby the CC in 20R,22R-dihydroxycholesterol (20R,22R-DiOHCH) is cleaved, converting cholesterol to pregnenolone. Studies have shown that inhibiting CYP11A1 can rapidly reduce blood steroid hormone levels below the detection limit. By simultaneously supplementing the body with glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, the body's normal physiological functions can be effectively prevented from being affected by steroid hormone deficiency.
[0009] CYP11A1 belongs to the steroid CYP gene family. CYP11A1 is overexpressed in several types of cancer and is associated with cancer resistance. Inhibition of the CYP11A1 enzyme can inhibit the synthesis of all steroid hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, which promote breast cancer progression, and androgen, which promote prostate cancer progression, thus completely inhibiting the progression of steroid hormone-dependent tumors. This makes it a promising therapeutic target.

For example, if X is described as "selected from the group consisting of X1, X2, and X3," this also means that a statement that X is X1 and / or a statement that X is X1 and / or X2 is fully described. Furthermore, when Markush groups or alternative language are used to describe features or examples of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art should understand that any combination of any subgroup of elements or individual elements within the Markush group or alternative language can also be used to describe the present disclosure. Thus, for example, if X is described as "selected from the group consisting of X1, X2, and X3" and Y is described as "selected from the group consisting of Y1, Y2, and Y3," this means that a statement that X is X1, X2, or X3, and Y is Y1, Y2, or Y3 is fully described.

The exact proportion of tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. Tautomeric reactions (i.e., reactions that provide tautomeric pairs) can be catalyzed by acids or bases. Exemplary tautomeric reactions include ketone-enol, amide-imide, lactam-lactim, enamine-imine, and enamine-(different enamine) tautomerization reactions.
[0059] It should also be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the properties, or the sequence of bonding of their atoms, or the arrangement of their atoms in space are referred to as "isomers." Isomers that have different arrangements of their atoms in space are referred to as "stereoisomers."
[0060] Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are called "diastereomers," while stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are called "enantiomers." When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, when the compound is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers can exist. Enantiomers can be characterized by the absolute configuration of their asymmetric center and described by the R and S ordering rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the way the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light, designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., (+)- or (-)-isomers, respectively).

In some embodiments, treatment can be administered after one or more signs or symptoms of a disease have developed or been observed. In other embodiments, treatment can be administered in the absence of signs or symptoms of a disease. For example, treatment can be administered to a susceptible subject before the onset of symptoms (e.g., based on a history of symptoms and / or exposure to a pathogen) to delay or prevent the onset of a disease. Treatment can be continued after symptoms have subsided, for example, to delay or prevent recurrence.
[0066] An "effective amount" of a compound described herein refers to an amount sufficient to elicit a desired biological response (i.e., to treat a condition). As will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, the effective amount of a compound described herein can vary depending on factors such as the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the condition being treated, the mode of administration, and the age and health of the subject. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is a therapeutically effective amount. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is for prophylactic treatment. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is the amount of a compound described herein in a single dose. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is the total amount of a compound described herein in multiple doses.
[0067] A "therapeutically effective amount" of a compound described herein is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in treating a condition or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound refers to an amount of a therapeutic agent that, alone or in combination with other therapies, provides a therapeutic benefit in treating a condition. The term "therapeutically effective amount" can include an amount that improves overall treatment, reduces or avoids symptoms, signs, or causes, and / or enhances the therapeutic effectiveness of another therapeutic agent.

[0073] To prolong the effect of a drug, it is usually desirable to reduce absorption from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be achieved by using a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The absorption rate of a drug depends on the dissolution rate, which in turn depends on the crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a drug form for parenteral administration can be achieved by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
[0074] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active ingredient is mixed with at least one of the following inert pharmaceutically acceptable substances: excipients or carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and / or (a) fillers or extenders, such as starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid; (b) binders, such as carboxymethylcellulose, alginate, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and gum arabic; (c) humectants, such as glycerol; and (d) disintegrants, such as agar, calcium carbonate, and the like. The formulation may be mixed with (a) an aqueous solution of calcium, potato starch or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, (b) an anticoagulant such as petrolatum, (c) an absorption promoter such as quaternary ammonium compounds, (d) a wetting agent such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, (e) an absorbent such as kaolin and bentonite, and (f) a lubricant such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycol, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets, or pills, the dosage form may contain a buffering agent.
[0075] The active ingredient may be in the form of microcapsules with one or more of the above-mentioned excipients. Tablets, sugar-coated tablets, capsules, pills, and granules in the form of solid dosage forms may be prepared by using coatings and shells (such as enteric coatings, release-controlling coatings, and other coatings known in the field of pharmaceutical preparations). In such solid preparations, the active ingredient may be mixed with at least one inert diluent (such as sucrose, lactose, or starch). Conventionally, such dosage forms may contain other substances other than inert diluents, such as tableting lubricants and other tableting aids, such as magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose.

[0171] Test Example 1 In the synthesis of all vertebrate steroid hormones, the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone is the first and rate-limiting step. This conversion reaction is catalyzed by a unique cytochrome P450scc (CYP11A) and is carried out by the C 22 -Hydroxycholesterol and C 20 ,C 22 -dihydroxycholesterol and C 20 ,C 22 -C in dihydroxycholesterol 20 -C 22 CYP11A1-catalyzed cleavage of a carbon-carbon single bond involves a two-step sequential monooxygenation reaction to generate one molecule of pregnenolone and one molecule of 4-methylvaleraldehyde. Therefore, the inhibitory effect of compounds on CYP11A1 was identified by detecting their ability to inhibit pregnenolone synthesis.
[0172] To detect the ability of compounds to inhibit CYP11A1, we determined the ability of various compounds to inhibit pregnenolone biosynthesis by detecting the concentration of pregnenolone using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Abnova Pregnenolone ELISA Kit, KA1912). The human adrenocortical carcinoma cell line NCI-H295R (Procell, CL-0399) was used as an enzyme source because it has been demonstrated to express all essential steroid synthetases. To determine the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of CYP11A1 inhibition by various compounds, compounds were added to NCI-H295R cell cultures, and after incubation, the concentration of pregnenolone in the culture supernatant was determined.
[0173] 95 μl of NCI-H295R cells were harvested and cultured overnight in a 96-well culture plate in a cell incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 using specialized cell culture medium (Procell, CM-0399). Then, 5 μl / well of various concentrations of test compounds in DMSO (Sigma, D8418) was added, followed by 24-hour incubation. The final concentrations of the test compounds were 1000 nM, 333.33 nM, 111.11 nM, 37.04 nM, 12.35 nM, 4.12 nM, 1.37 nM, 0.46 nM, and 0 nM. After incubation, the cells were centrifuged to obtain 80 μl / well of cell culture supernatant, which was diluted 1:8 with cell culture medium. The concentration of pregnenolone therein was then determined by ELISA. A standard curve was constructed using pregnenolone standards during ELISA detection. Experiments were performed using replicate wells. ELISA well plates were coated with anti-pregnenolone rabbit polyclonal antibody. 50 μl / well of diluted culture supernatant or standard or reference substance was added to the ELISA plate strip, followed by 100 μl of pregnenolone-HRP conjugate solution. The plate was incubated at room temperature at 200 rpm on a plate shaker (QILINBEIER, QB-9002) for 1 hour. The plate was then washed three times with 300 μl of wash solution each time and tapped dry on absorbent paper. 150 μl of TMB substrate was added. The plate was incubated at room temperature on a plate shaker for 10-15 minutes, after which 50 μl of stop solution was added. Absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader (PerkinElmer, 2105). IC was determined using GraphPad Prism software. 50 values were calculated. Inhibition rate (%) = 100% - (readout 化合物 -Average reading 陽性対照 ) / (average read ブランク対照 -Average reading 陽性対照 )×100%. [Table 1]
[0174] Test Example 2 To detect the ability of compounds to inhibit CYP11A1, we determined the ability of various compounds to inhibit testosterone biosynthesis by detecting the concentration of testosterone (Abnova Testosterone ELISA Kit, KA6502) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Similarly, the human adrenocortical carcinoma cell line NCI-H295R (Procell, CL-0399) was used as the enzyme source. Compounds were added to NCI-H295R cell cultures. After incubation, the testosterone concentration in the culture supernatant was determined.
[0175] 95 μl of NCI-H295R cells were harvested and cultured overnight in a 96-well culture plate in a specialized cell culture medium (Procell, CM-0399) in a cell incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. 5 μl / well of various concentrations of test compounds in DMSO (Sigma, D8418) was then added, followed by incubation for 24 hours. The final concentrations of the test compounds were 1000 nM, 333.33 nM, 111.11 nM, 37.04 nM, 12.35 nM, 4.12 nM, 1.37 nM, 0.46 nM, and 0 nM. After incubation, the cells were centrifuged to obtain 80 μl / well of cell culture supernatant, in which the testosterone concentration was determined by ELISA. A standard curve was generated using testosterone standards during ELISA detection. Experiments were performed with replicate wells. ELISA well plates were coated with anti-testosterone monoclonal antibodies. 25 μl / well of culture supernatant or standard solution or reference substance was added to the ELISA plate strip, followed by 200 μl of testosterone-HRP conjugate solution. The plate was incubated at room temperature at 200 rpm on a plate shaker (QILINBEIER, QB-9002) for 1 hour. The plate was then washed three times with 300 μl of washing solution each time and tapped dry on absorbent paper. 200 μl of TMB substrate was added. The plate was incubated at room temperature on a plate shaker for 15 minutes, and then 100 μl of stop solution was added. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader (PerkinElmer, 2105). IC was determined using GraphPad Prism software. 50 values were calculated. Inhibition rate (%) = 100% - (readout 化合物 -Average reading 陽性対照 ) / (average read ブランク対照 -Average reading 陽性対照 )×100%. [Table 2]
