[0002] This disclosure describes novel α2 adrenergic receptor (α2AR) agonists and their uses. In particular, this disclosure describes novel imidazole-containing compounds and their derivatives. These compounds may be useful as α2AR agonists for the treatment or prevention of diseases. [Background technology]
[0003] The α2-adrenergic receptor (α2AR) family, as part of G protein-coupled receptors, plays a crucial role in the biological functions of many central nervous system (CNS) systems. α2ARs are important in regulating neurotransmitter release and therefore influence a range of central physiological processes. Agonists targeting these receptors, such as clonidine and dexmedetomidine, have been successfully used to treat several conditions, primarily within the CNS. Relevant applications include the treatment of hypertension, sedation in intensive care, and the treatment of issues such as agitation associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
[0004] Clonidine was initially developed to manage hypertension. Subsequently, it was found that clonidine induces sedation by activating α2ARs in the presynaptic and postsynaptic centers of the locus coeruleus (LC), a nucleus in the dorsomedial pons. Dexmedetomidine was later developed and approved as a sedative, particularly in adult patients who were initially intubated and mechanically ventilated in intensive care settings, due to its superior α2AR selectivity and pharmacokinetic properties more suitable for sedation.
[0005] Clonidine, in addition to its antihypertensive and sedative effects, is also approved for epidural use under the brand name Duraclon, representing a significant advance in the treatment of cancer pain. The analgesic mechanism is broadly attributed to the diffusion of clonidine into the spinal cord and the activation of α2AR in the dorsal horn, thereby attenuating pain transmission to higher CNS centers. Due to this central action, α2AR agonists exert significant analgesic effects and are an important method of pain management.
[0006] However, the application of α2AR agonists to analgesic treatment is fraught with difficulties, primarily due to the range of other biological side effects they can cause in the central nervous system. Duraclon has been shown to induce centrally mediated sedation, hypotension, bradycardia, and suppression of its application, which persist throughout the analgesic treatment process. Such sedative effects significantly limit the doses that can be safely administered. As a result, while α2AR agonists such as clonidine and dexmedetomidine are considered important for pain treatment in both academic research and clinical settings, their sedative effects pose a major obstacle to their widespread use in medical applications.
[0007] Therefore, it is desirable to develop a new class of α2AR agonists that can provide substantial therapeutic benefits in pain management, such as reduced sedative effects, thereby expanding the range of therapeutic alternatives to address broadly unmet medical needs.

[0034] Various publications, articles, and patents are cited or referenced in the background art and throughout this specification. Each of these references is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Discussions of documents, acts, materials, apparatus, articles, etc., included herein are intended to provide context for this disclosure. Such discussions do not constitute any and all of the prior art relating to this disclosure.
[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to whom this disclosure relates. Otherwise, any specific terms used herein have the meanings set forth herein.
[0036] As used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include multiple references (one or more) unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0037] Unless otherwise specified, the term "at least" preceding a set of elements should be understood to refer to all elements of that set. For example, "at least A, B, and C" means that each of A, B, and C exists. The term "at least one" preceding a set of elements should be understood to refer to a single element of the set, or any combination of two or more elements of the set. For example, "at least one of A, B, and C" means that only A exists, only B exists, only C exists, both A and B exist, both A and C exist, both B and C exist, or each of A, B, and C exists. Depending on the context, "at least one of ~" preceding a set of elements can also include situations where one or more of the elements exist in greater than one form. For example, "at least one of A, B, and C" can also include situations where A exists alone, or overlapping with one or more of elements B and C.
[0038] As used herein, the conjunctive term "and / or" between multiple enumerated elements is understood to encompass both individual and conjectural choices. For example, when two elements are joined by "and / or," the first choice refers to the applicability of the first element without the second element. The second choice refers to the applicability of the second element without the first element. The third choice, constitutively, refers to the applicability of the first and second elements together. Any one of these choices is understood to fall within its meaning and therefore satisfy the requirements of the term "and / or" as used herein. The simultaneous applicability of two or more choices is also understood to fall within its meaning and therefore satisfy the requirements of the term "and / or."
[0039] Unless otherwise specified, any numerical values, such as concentrations or concentration ranges, described herein should be understood in all cases to be modified by the term “approximately.” Therefore, numerical values typically include ±10% of the listed values. For example, the description “10 times” includes 9 times and 11 times. Where used herein, the use of numerical ranges explicitly includes all possible substitutions and combinations of subranges, all individual numerical values within that range, integers and values within such ranges, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0040] As used herein, “Subject” means any animal that is treated or has been treated by the methods described herein, such as mammals, in particular humans. As used herein, the term “mammal” encompasses any mammal. Examples of mammals include, but are not limited to, cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, cats, dogs, mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, non-human primates (NHPs) such as monkeys and apes, and humans.
[0041] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt of a target compound that is safe and effective for topical use in mammals and possesses the desired biological activity. pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of acidic or basic groups present in a particular compound. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include, but are not limited to, hydrochlorides, hydrobroms, hydroiodides, nitrates, sulfates, bisulfates, phosphates, acidic phosphates, isonicotinates, carbonates, bicarbonates, acetates, lactates, salicylates, citrates, tartrates, propionates, butyrates, pyruvates, oxalates, malons, pantothenates, bitartrates, ascorbicates, succinates, maleates, gentisinates, fumarates, glucons, glucarons, saccharates, formates, benzoates, glutamates, methanesulfons, ethanesulfons, benzenesulfons, p-toluenesulfons, and pamoates (i.e., 1,1'-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate)) salts. Certain compounds used in this disclosure can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with a variety of amino acids. Suitable base salts include, but are not limited to, aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc, bismuth, and diethanolamine salts. For a review of pharmaceutically acceptable salts, see Berge et al., 66 J.Pharm.Sci.1-19(1977), which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0042] As used herein, the term “alkyl” means a saturated, monovalent, unbranched, or branched hydrocarbon chain. Alkyl groups may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more suitable substituents. Examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (e.g., n-propyl, isopropyl), butyl (e.g., n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl), and pentyl (e.g., n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl). Alkyl groups may have a specified number of carbon atoms. Where a number appears as a subscript after the symbol “C”, the subscript more specifically defines the number of carbon atoms that a particular alkyl group may contain. For example, “C1-C 10 "Alkyl" or "C 1-10 The term "alkyl" is intended to include alkyl groups having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 carbon atoms. Furthermore, for example, "C1-C8 alkyl" or "C 1-8 "Alkyl" refers to an alkyl group having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 carbon atoms.
[0043] As used herein, the term “alkenyl” refers to an unbranched or branched hydrocarbon chain containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond. The alkenyl group may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more suitable substituents. Examples of alkenyl groups include ethenyl, propenyl, and butadienyl (including 1,2-butadienyl and 1,3-butadienyl). Where a number appears as a subscript after the symbol “C”, the subscript more specifically defines the number of carbon atoms that the particular alkenyl may contain. For example, “C2-C 10 "Alkenil" or "C 2-10 The term "alkenyl" is intended to include alkenyl groups having 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 carbon atoms. Furthermore, for example, "C2-C8 alkenyl" or "C 2-8 "Alkenyl" refers to an alkenyl having 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 carbon atoms.
[0044] As used herein, the term “alkynyl” refers to an unbranched or branched hydrocarbon chain containing at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. The alkynyl group may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more suitable substituents. The term “alkynyl” also includes groups having one triple bond and one double bond. Where a number appears as a subscript after the symbol “C”, the subscript more specifically defines the number of carbon atoms that the particular alkynyl may contain. For example, “C2-C 10 "Alkinyl" or "C 2-10 "Alkynyl" is intended to include alkynyl groups having 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 carbon atoms.

[0045] As used herein, the term “cycloalkyl” refers to any stable monocyclic or polycyclic saturated hydrocarbon ring system. Cycloalkyl groups may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more suitable substituents. Cycloalkyl groups may have a specified number of carbon atoms. For example, “C3-C6 cycloalkyl” or “C 3-6"Cycloalkyl" refers to cycloalkyl groups having 3, 4, 5, or 6 ring carbon atoms, including cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl. Polycyclic cycloalkyls include bridging ring structures, fused ring structures, and spiro ring structures, where all ring atoms are carbon atoms. A "spiro ring" is a polycyclic ring system in which two rings share one carbon atom, typically called a "spiro atom," which is a quaternary carbon atom. A "fused ring" is a polycyclic ring system in which two rings share two adjacent atoms called "bridgehead atoms," i.e., the two rings share one covalent bond so that the bridgehead atoms are directly bonded. A "bridging ring" is a polycyclic ring system in which two rings share three or more atoms, with the bridgehead atoms separated by a bridging containing at least one atom. Examples of cycloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, and cyclooctyl.
[0046] As used herein, the term “aryl” refers to any carbon-based aromatic group, including but not limited to phenyl, naphthyl, anthracenyl, and phenanthranil.

The aryl group may be substituted or unsubstituted with one or more suitable substituents. The aryl group may have a monocyclic structure (i.e., monocyclic formula) or a polycyclic structure (i.e., polycyclic formula, e.g., bicyclic or tricyclic). For example, the aryl group may be a monocyclic aryl group, e.g., phenyl.
[0047] The term “heterocyclyl” encompasses stable monocyclic and polycyclic hydrocarbons containing at least one heteroatom ring member, such as sulfur, oxygen, or nitrogen, whose ring structure is saturated or partially unsaturated, unless the ring system is entirely aromatic. The heterocyclyl group may be unsubstituted or may be substituted with one or more suitable substituents on one or more carbon atoms and / or nitrogen heteroatoms of the heterocyclyl. Heterocyclyls may include monocyclic (i.e., monocyclic) or polycyclic (i.e., polycyclic, e.g., bicyclic) structures. Polycyclic heterocyclyls include bridging ring structures, fused ring structures, and spiro-ring structures, where at least one ring atom of at least one ring of the polycyclic ring system is a heteroatom, e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur, as defined above. The heterocyclyl ring can be bonded to the parent molecule at any suitable heteroatom (typically nitrogen) or carbon atom of the ring. The term "4- to 9-membered monocyclic or bicyclic heterocyclil" includes a 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9-membered monocyclic or bicyclic ring structure containing at least one heteroatom ring member selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur, or independently selected from oxygen and nitrogen, and optionally containing 1 to 3 additional heteroatoms independently selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur, or independently selected from oxygen and nitrogen, provided that the ring structure is saturated or partially unsaturated, but not entirely aromatic.

Where a number appears as a subscript after the symbol “C”, the subscript more specifically defines the number of carbon atoms that the particular heterocycle may contain, in addition to the heteroatoms that the particular heterocycle may contain. For example, “C1-C 10 "Heterocyclyl" or "C 1-10A "heterocyclyl" is intended to contain a heterocyclyl group having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 carbon atoms. Furthermore, for example, "C1-C8 heterocyclyl" or "C 1-8 "Heterocyclyl" refers to a heterocyclyl having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 carbon atoms.

[0050] As used herein, the term “heteroaryl” includes stable monocyclic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons containing at least one heteroatom ring member, such as sulfur, oxygen, or nitrogen. Heteroaryl groups may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more suitable substituents. Heteroaryls may have monocyclic (i.e., monocyclic) or multicyclic (i.e., polycyclic, e.g., bicyclic or tricyclic) structures. Each ring of a heteroaryl group containing heteroatoms may contain one or two oxygen or sulfur atoms and / or one to four nitrogen atoms, provided that the total number of heteroatoms in each ring is four or less and each ring has at least one carbon atom. Heteroaryl groups that are polycyclic, e.g., bicyclic or tricyclic, must contain at least one fully aromatic ring, but the other fused rings may be aromatic or non-aromatic. For example, in the case of a bicyclic heteroaryl, the fused rings completing the bicyclic group may contain only carbon atoms and may be saturated, partially saturated, or unsaturated. Heteroaryls can be bonded to the parent molecule at any available nitrogen or carbon atom on any ring of the heteroaryl group. In some embodiments, the term “heteroaryl” refers to five or six-membered monocyclic groups and nine or ten-membered bicyclic groups having at least one heteroatom (O, S, or N) on at least one of the rings, and the heteroatom-containing rings typically have one, two, or three heteroatoms, such as one or two heteroatoms selected from O, S, and / or N. Heteroaryl groups may be unsubstituted or may be substituted with one or more suitable substituents on one or more of the carbon and / or nitrogen heteroatoms of the heteroaryl. The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms of the heteroaryl may optionally be oxidized (i.e., N → O and S(O)r, where r is 0, 1, or 2).
[0051] When a number appears as a subscript after the symbol "C", the subscript more specifically defines the number of carbon atoms that a particular heteroaryl can contain, in addition to the heteroatoms that the particular heteroaryl can contain. For example, "C1-C 10 "heteroaryl" or "C 1-10The term "heteroaryl" is intended to include heteroaryl groups having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 carbon atoms.

[0069] In accordance with the conventions used in this technical field, [ka] In the structural formulas of this specification, is used to represent the bonding site of a group, site, or substituent to the core, backbone, or parent molecule structure.
[0070] If it has been shown that the bond to the substituent intersects with a bond connecting two atoms in the ring, then such a substituent can bond to any atom on the ring.
[0071] As used herein, the term “substituted” with respect to any organic radical (e.g., alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroaryl, aryl, heterocyclyl, etc.) means that at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by a non-hydrogen group, provided that all normal valencies are maintained and the substitution results in a stable compound. When a particular group is “substituted,” it may have one or more substituents, such as 1 to 5 substituents, 1 to 3 substituents, or 1 to 2 substituents, independently selected from a list of substituents. The term “independently,” when used with respect to substituents, means that if two or more such substituents are possible, such substituents may be the same or different from one another. Suitable examples of substituents include, but are not limited to, alkyl, halo, haloalkyl, alkoxy, amide, hydroxy, hydroxyalkyl, amino, carboxyl, ester, oxo, and cyano.
[0072] If any variable appears two or more times in any component or formula of a compound, its definition in each appearance is independent of its definition in every other appearance. Therefore, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0 to 3 R groups, this group may be optionally substituted with up to 3 R groups, and in each appearance, R is selected independently of the definition of R.
[0073] The terms "optional" or "optionally" mean that the described event or situation may occur but is not required, and such description includes situations in which the event or situation may or may not occur. For example, "optionally substituted heterocyclyl" means that substituents may or may not be present, and such description includes situations in which the heterocyclyl group is substituted with an appropriate substituent and the heterocyclyl group is not substituted with any substituent.
[0074] Those skilled in the art will recognize that, in certain embodiments, the compounds described herein may have one or more chiral carbon atoms in their structure. Any chemical formula, as used herein, in which a bond is shown only as a solid line and not as a solid wedge bond or hashed wedge bond, or which is shown to have a specific arrangement (e.g., R or S) around one or more atoms, each assumes a possible stereoisomer or a mixture of two or more stereoisomers. Stereoiomers include enantiomers and diastereomers. Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other and cannot be superimposed. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a racemate or racemic mixture. Diastereomers (or diastereoisomers) are stereoisomers that are not enantiomers, i.e., they are not related as mirror images, and arise when two or more stereoisomers of a compound have different stereoconfigurations in one or more equivalent stereocenters and are not mirror images of each other. Substituents (e.g., alkyl, heterocyclyl, etc.) may contain stereocenters in either an R configuration or an S configuration.
[0075] Certain examples include chemical structures containing the terms (R) or (S). When (R) or (S) is used in the name or chemical representation of a compound, it is intended to mean that the compound is a single isomer at its stereocenter having an established absolute configuration of either (R) or (S).
[0076] Stereochemically pure isomers can be obtained by techniques known in the art in consideration of this disclosure. For example, diastereoisomers can be separated by physical separation methods such as fractional crystallization and chromatography, and enantiomers can be separated from each other by selective crystallization or chiral chromatography of diastereoisomer salts with optically active acids or bases. Pure stereoisomers can also be prepared synthetically from suitable stereochemically pure starting materials or by using stereoselective reactions.
[0077] The compounds described herein can also form tautomers. The term "tautomer" refers to a compound that is an interchangeable form of a particular compound structure, in which the substitution of hydrogen atoms and electrons changes. Tautomers are constituent isomers of chemical compounds that readily interconvert, usually resulting in the rearrangement of protons (hydrogen). Thus, the two structures can reach equilibrium through the movement of π electrons and atoms (usually hydrogen). All tautomers and mixtures of tautomers of the compounds described herein are included in the scope of this disclosure.
[0078] The compounds described herein may exist in solvated and unsolvated forms. The term “solvate” means the physical association of a compound described herein with one or more solvent molecules, for example, by hydrogen bonding. Solvent molecules in a solvate may exist in regular and / or irregular arrangements. A solvate may contain either stoichiometric or unstoichiometric amounts of solvent molecules. “Solvate” encompasses both solution-phase solvates and isolateable solvates. The compounds described herein may form solvates with water (i.e., hydrates) or common organic solvents. Exemplary solvates include, but are not limited to, hydrates, ethanolates, methanelates, and isopropanolates. Methods of solvation are generally known in the art.
[0079] All isotopes of atoms present in the compounds described herein, including intermediates and final products, are also included within the scope of this disclosure. Isotopes include atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers. Common examples of hydrogen isotopes include, but are not limited to, deuterium and tritium. Carbon isotopes include, 13 C and 14 C is included.
[0080] This disclosure further includes isotope-labeled compounds. An “isotope-labeled” or “radiolabeled” compound is a compound of this disclosure in which one or more atoms are replaced or substituted by atoms having atomic masses or mass numbers different from those typically found in nature (i.e., naturally occurring). Isotope-labeled compounds can generally be prepared by the prior art known to those skilled in the art, or by processes similar to those described herein, using appropriate isotope-labeling reagents instead of unlabeled reagents used in other methods.
[0081] As used herein, the names of compounds are intended to encompass all possible existing isomeric forms of the compound, including stereoisomers (e.g., enantiomers, diastereomers, racemates or racemic mixtures, and any mixtures thereof).
[0082] In a general embodiment, the disclosure relates to a method for treating or preventing a disease in a subject requiring such treatment, comprising administering a therapeutically effective dose of a peripherally selective α2AR agonist to the subject.
[0083] In some embodiments, a peripherally selective α2AR agonist activates at least one subtype of α2AR, particularly α2A AR, α2B AR, or α2C AR.
[0084] In some embodiments, the diseases include glaucoma, pain, spasticity, nasal congestion, rosacea, rhinitis, anesthesia, presbyopia, acute kidney injury, insomnia, inflammatory diseases, and cancer.
[0085] In certain embodiments, the disease is selected from pain, rosacea, spasticity, and aging.
[0086] In some embodiments, treatment with a peripherally selective α2AR agonist has less sedative effect than treatment with a non-peripherally selective α2AR agonist, at similar or equivalent dosages.
[0087] In some embodiments, the peripherally selective α2AR agonist includes an α2AR activating moiety covalently bound to the peripherally distributed portion.
[0088] In another general embodiment, the disclosure provides a peripherally selective α2AR agonist comprising an α2AR activating moiety covalently bound to a peripherally distributed portion, and its use in the treatment or prevention of disease.
[0089] In some embodiments, the diseases include glaucoma, pain, spasticity, nasal congestion, rosacea, rhinitis, anesthesia, presbyopia, acute kidney injury, insomnia, inflammatory diseases, and cancer.
[0090] In a particular embodiment, the disease is pain.
[0091] Pain, as a complex and multidimensional sensory and emotional experience, presents a significant challenge to human health. It is not only a major symptom of physical illness but also a significant factor affecting quality of life and causing considerable physical and mental distress to patients. The key components of pain are neuropathic pain and nociceptive pain. Neuropathic pain is caused by lesions or diseases of the somatosensory nervous system. Neuropathic pain can be divided into central neuropathic pain and peripheral neuropathic pain. Central neuropathic pain includes spinal cord injury, post-stroke pain, and MS pain, while peripheral neuropathic pain includes diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, HIV-related pain, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, and postoperative neuropathic pain. Currently, first-line treatments include gabapentinoids, tricyclic antidepressants, and norepinephrine / serotonin reuptake inhibitors. While these drugs can alleviate pain to some extent, the side effects of long-term use still lead to a decline in patients' quality of life. Second-line therapies such as opioate receptor agonists not only have side effects but also high addiction rates and cause many social impacts, and are not adequately meeting the demand for neuropathic pain treatment.
[0092] Alpha-2-arsenic agonists such as clonidine and dexmedetomidine are considered important methods for treating pain in academic research and clinical applications. Scientists have found that intrathecal administration of alpha-2-arsenic agonists can effectively reduce pain. However, there are limitations to the therapeutic benefits of alpha-2-arsenic agonists. Existing alpha-2-arsenic agonists are often associated with a variety of biological reactions, including sedation, hypotension, bradycardia, drowsiness, dizziness, depression, orthostatic hypotension, constipation, nausea, stomach upset, dry mouth (xerostomia), dry nasal mucosa, impotence, fluid retention, edema, and pupil dilation. These other biological effects, particularly sedation, limit the doses that can be safely administered, thereby limiting the broad usefulness of these drugs in long-term pain management. This not only affects the patient's quality of life but also limits the applicability of these drugs to various types and levels of pain symptoms. These biological effects, particularly sedation, have a serious impact on the application of alpha-2-arsenic agonists in the field of medical use.
[0093] Therefore, there is a need to develop novel α2AR agonist compounds to treat pain by reducing sedation. Our research aims to make a significant contribution to the field of pain management by providing not only more effective but also safer long-term non-opioid alternatives. The compounds and methods described herein may be useful in addressing such unmet needs.
[0094] As used herein, “effective amount” means the amount of a composition or compound that elicits a biological or medical response in a tissue system or subject as sought by a researcher, veterinarian, physician, or other professional, which may include relief of symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition being treated. The effective amount may vary depending on various factors such as the subject’s physical condition, age, weight, health status, and the specific disease, disorder, or condition being treated. The effective amount can be readily determined by those skilled in the art in consideration of this disclosure.
[0095] In a particular embodiment, the effective amount refers to an amount of the composition or compound described herein that is sufficient to activate α2AR. In another particular embodiment, the effective amount refers to an amount of the composition or compound described herein that is sufficient to treat or prevent a disease or alleviate symptoms associated with a disease.
[0096] In some embodiments, the pain is nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain such as peripheral neuropathic pain, or mixed pain.
[0097] In some embodiments, neuropathic pain includes cancer-related pain, diabetic neuropathy, post-infectious neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy, immune-mediated neuropathy, HIV-related pain, post-stroke pain syndrome, phantom limb pain, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, and metabolic, endocrine, and toxic neuropathy, chronic post-surgical pain, traumatic peripheral nerve injury, locked-in syndrome, and hereditary neuropathy.
[0098] In some embodiments, the pain is postoperative pain.
[0099] In some embodiments, the peripherally selective α2AR agonist includes an α2AR activating moiety covalently bound to the peripherally distributed portion.
[0100] In another general embodiment, the Disclosure relates to a method for treating or preventing a disease in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering a therapeutically effective dose of a peripherally selective α2AR agonist to the subject, wherein the peripherally selective α2AR agonist comprises an α2AR activating moiety covalently bound to a peripherally distributed portion.
[0101] In some embodiments, the diseases include glaucoma, pain, spasticity, nasal congestion, rosacea, rhinitis, anesthesia, presbyopia, acute kidney injury, insomnia, inflammatory diseases, and cancer.
[0102] In some embodiments, the disease is glaucoma or cancer.
[0103] In some embodiments, the disease is pain.
[0104] In some embodiments, the pain is nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain such as peripheral neuropathic pain, or mixed pain.
[0105] In some embodiments, neuropathic pain includes cancer-related pain, diabetic neuropathy, post-infectious neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy, immune-mediated neuropathy, HIV-related pain, post-stroke pain syndrome, phantom limb pain, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, and metabolic, endocrine, and toxic neuropathy, chronic post-surgical pain, traumatic peripheral nerve injury, locked-in syndrome, and hereditary neuropathy.
[0106] In some embodiments, the pain is postoperative pain.
[0107] In some embodiments, treatment with a peripherally selective α2AR agonist results in fewer side effects than treatment with a non-peripherally selective α2AR agonist, at similar or equivalent dosages.
[0108] In some embodiments, treatment with peripherally selective α2AR agonists does not cause side effects.
[0109] The following embodiments apply to all of the general embodiments described above.
[0110] In some embodiments, side effects include sedation, decreased heart rate, and decreased blood pressure, with sedation being a particularly significant side effect.
[0111] As used herein, the term "non-peripherally selective α2AR agonist" refers to a compound that readily distributes to the CNS after administration to a subject and binds to and activates α2AR receptors in both the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. Examples of non-peripherally selective α2AR agonists include, but are not limited to, dexmedetomidine and clonidine.
[0112] While not bound by theory, if an α2AR agonist binds to α2AR in the central nervous system and activates α2AR, the α2AR agonist may cause the aforementioned side effects in patients, including sedation, decreased heart rate, blood pressure, depression, bradycardia, orthostatic hypotension, constipation, nausea, stomach upset, dry mouth (xerostomia), nasal dryness, impotence, fluid retention, edema, and pupil dilation.
[0113] As used herein, the term “peripherally selective α2AR agonist” refers to a compound that exerts its effects primarily outside the central nervous system (CNS) because it is typically hindered by the blood-CNS barrier. The blood-CNS barrier, a physical barrier between the blood and the CNS, protects the CNS from both toxic and pathogenic agents in the blood. The blood-CNS barrier includes the blood-brain barrier, the blood-spinal cord barrier, and the blood-CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) barrier. By significantly hindering entry into the CNS, compounds can act on the rest of the body with few or no side effects associated with their effects on the brain or spinal cord. Examples of peripherally selective α2AR agonists include, but are not limited to, the compounds described herein, such as those of formula (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), or (II) as described herein.
[0114] Peripherally selective α2AR agonists primarily bind to or activate α2AR outside the CNS, and therefore produce fewer or no of the aforementioned side effects compared to non-peripherally selective α2AR agonists. This invention addresses an unmet need and has developed a series of peripherally selective α2AR agonists.
[0115] In some embodiments, peripherally selective α2AR agonists bind to α2AR at Ki values in the ranges of 250 nM to 1000 nM, 50 nM to 250 nM, 10 nM to 50 nM, or less than 10 nM. In some other embodiments, peripherally selective α2AR agonists activate α2AR at EC50 values in the ranges of 250 nM to 1000 nM, 50 nM to 250 nM, 10 nM to 50 nM, or less than 10 nM.
[0116] Non-peripherally selective α2AR agonists and peripherally selective α2AR agonists can be distinguished in terms of their permeability across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Drugs that specifically target the central nervous system (CNS) must first cross the BBB. In contrast, peripherally selective drugs exert their effects mainly outside the CNS because they are primarily hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The blood-brain barrier (BBB) substantially limits the entry of these drugs into the CNS, resulting in a dominance of drug concentrations outside the CNS compared to inside. The BBB permeability of a compound can be measured using any method known in the art. For example, one experimental measure of BBB permeability is Kp, which is the concentration of the drug in the brain divided by its concentration in the blood.
[0117] As used herein, “Kp” or “B / P ratio” refers to the ratio of the concentrations of a compound in the brain and blood. Kp is often calculated as “logBB,” which refers to the logarithmic ratio of the concentrations of a compound in the brain and blood. Kp is a common value used to describe permeability across the blood-brain barrier. In some embodiments, a compound is considered “peripherally selective” if, upon administration to a subject, its Kp is less than 0.4, 0.2, 0.1, 0.05, 0.02, or 0.01.
[0118] Kp,uu,brain is another common numerical value used to describe permeability across the blood-brain barrier. As used herein, "Kp,uu,brain" or "Kp,uu" refers to the unbound brain-to-plasma partition coefficient. This represents the ability of a drug to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) after systemic administration. Kp,uu provides a more accurate measure of the distribution equilibrium of unbound fractions in the brain and plasma.
[0119] Any method known in the art can be used to measure Kp,uu,brain. One example is the area under the curve (AUC) method, which calculates the AUC of the unbound drug concentration-time profile in both brain and plasma after a single dose. Another example is steady-state concentration, which uses the steady-state unbound concentration of the drug in brain interstitial fluid (C_u,brain,ss) and plasma (C_u,plasma,ss).
[0120] In some embodiments, a compound is considered “peripherally selective” if, at the time of administration to a subject, its Kp,uu,brain is less than 0.4, 0.2, 0.1, 0.05, 0.02, or 0.01. In some further embodiments, a compound is considered “peripherally selective” if, at the time of administration to a subject, its Kp,uu,brain is less than 0.05, 0.02, or 0.01.
[0121] In some embodiments, peripherally selective α2AR agonists include an α2AR activating moiety covalently bound to the peripherally distributed portion.
[0122] In certain embodiments, the α2AR activating moiety is a non-peripherally selective α2AR agonist or another peripherally selective α2AR agonist.

[0124] As used herein, a functional derivative of an α2AR agonist refers to any compound derived from an α2AR agonist by a chemical reaction. Examples of derivatives include, but are not limited to, salts of acids or bases, prodrugs, and compounds containing protected functional groups such as hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl, or carbonyl groups.
[0125] In certain embodiments, the α2AR activating moiety is a non-peripherally selective α2AR agonist, such as dexmedetomidine, brimonidine, and clonidine.
[0126] In certain embodiments, the α2AR activating moiety is dexmedetomidine.
[0127] As used herein, the term “peripheral distribution portion” refers to a portion that can increase or improve the peripheral selectivity of an α2AR agonist. In some embodiments, peripheral selectivity is increased or improved so that the α2AR agonist is a peripherally selective α2AR agonist.
[0128] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the peripheral distribution portion may be the following chemical fragments. • Type A fragments; those that can increase the overall molecular polarity of a compound or decrease its overall lipophilicity; • Type B fragments: those that can increase the overall molecular weight or molecular size of a compound; and • C-type fragments: those containing substrate elements for efflux transporters.
[0129] In some embodiments, the peripheral distribution portion is a type A fragment.
[0130] In certain embodiments, the A-type fragment increases the total number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds (H bonds) within a compound, such as an H-bond donor and an H-bond acceptor. In preferred embodiments, the A-type fragment is an H-bond donor.
[0131] In certain embodiments, the A-type fragment increases the overall molecular polarity of the compound. For example, such an A-type fragment may contain a polar functional group or a charged group. Examples of polar functional groups include, but are not limited to, hydroxyl groups, amine groups, amide groups, sulfonamide groups, carboxyl groups, ether groups, imine groups, hydroxylamine groups, ester groups, aldehyde groups, ketone groups, nitro groups, phosphoric acid groups, thioether groups, and sulfone groups. Examples of charged groups include, but are not limited to, quaternary ammonium compounds, carboxylic acids, and organic acids such as sulfonic acids.
[0132] In certain embodiments, the A-type fragment reduces the overall lipophilicity of the compound. Examples of such A-type fragments include, but are not limited to, alkyl or acyl groups added to functional groups such as hydroxyl and amino.
[0133] In certain embodiments, the A-type fragment is not capable of assisting in the formation of a tertiary amine or an intramolecular H bond.
[0134] In some embodiments, the peripheral distribution portion is a type B fragment.
[0135] In certain embodiments, the B-type fragment is a bulky group that can increase the overall molecular weight and molecular size of the compound. Examples of such B-type fragments include, but are not limited to, long alkyl chains, polyethylene glycol (PEG), large aromatic groups, and extra cyclic or heterocyclic groups.
[0136] In some embodiments, the peripheral distribution portion is a C-type fragment.
[0137] In certain embodiments, the C-type fragment comprises a substrate element of an efflux transporter, and the efflux transporter is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter, a breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) transporter, or a multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2) transporter. As used herein, the term “efflux transporter substrate element” refers to a fragment that makes the compound a substrate for an efflux transporter. In other words, the term “efflux transporter substrate element” refers to a fragment that is a substrate for an efflux transporter.
[0138] In certain embodiments, the C-type fragment includes a P-gp substrate element.
[0139] While not bound by theory, P-gp efflux is a significant limiting factor for blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Any method known in the art can be used to determine whether a compound is a P-gp substrate. For example, P-gp substrates can be identified using the efflux ratio obtained from an in vitro P-gp assay, MDCK-MDR1. A compound is considered a P-gp substrate if its efflux ratio is greater than 2, 5, 8, 10, 50, or 100.
[0140] Alternatively, there are several rules for determining potential P-gp efflux substrates. • The total number of N atoms and O atoms (N+O) ≥ 8; • Molecular weight (MW) greater than 400; and / or Acids with pKa > 4. In contrast, if a compound is a base with N+O<4, MW<400, and / or pKa<8, it is a non-substrate of P-gp.
[0141] Certain structural modifications can improve P-gp efflux by removing steric hindrance to hydrogen bond donor atoms through the bonding of bulky groups or demethylation of nitrogen atoms, and by improving hydrogen bond potential through the removal of adjacent electron-withdrawing groups or the introduction of hydrogen bond groups such as amides.
[0142] In certain embodiments, the substrate element of P-gp includes one or more of the above-described structural modifications.
[0143] In a particular embodiment, the P-gp substrate element is [ka] Selected from.
[0144] In certain embodiments, the C-type fragment contains a substrate element of the BCPR transporter.
[0145] In certain embodiments, the C-type fragment contains a substrate element of the MPR2 transporter.
[0146] In certain embodiments, the C-type fragment does not contain substrate elements for uptake transporters such as LAT1, GLUT1, MCT1, CAT1, CNT2, OATP, PEPT1, PEPT2, and OCT.
[0147] In some embodiments, the peripheral distribution portion reduces and / or minimizes brain exposure to a peripherally selective α2AR agonist.
[0148] In certain embodiments, the peripheral distribution portion reduces passive intercellular BBB permeability by increasing topological polar surface area (TPSA), increasing molecular weight, increasing polarity, or by adding hydrogen bonds, particularly hydrogen bond donors.
[0149] In a particular embodiment, the peripheral distribution portion involves introducing an acidic group to a peripherally selective α2AR agonist.
[0150] In certain embodiments, the peripheral distribution portion includes a substrate element of P-gp, which increases P-gp efflux by increasing lipophilicity, increasing hydrogen bond receptors, removing steric hindrance around hydrogen bond receptors, or removing electron-withdrawing groups adjacent to hydrogen bond receptors.
[0151] In certain embodiments, the peripheral distribution portion is designed to make the compound a bisubstrate for both P-gp and BCRP.

[0352] Step 3: 240 ml of pyridine, 12.1 g (39.5 mmol, 1.0 equivalent) of compounds 1-3, and 55.1 g (197.5 mmol, 3.0 equivalents) of triphenylmethyl chloride were added to a 50 mL reaction flask. The mixture was stirred at 50°C for 2 hours until completion was confirmed by LC-MS. After concentration under reduced pressure, the residue was subjected to column chromatography (DCM-DCM:MeOH=92:8) to obtain 4.5 g of compounds 1-4 in 20.8% yield.
[0353] Step 4: 52 ml of DCM was added to a 100 ml reaction flask, followed by 1.3 g (2.37 mmol, 1.0 equivalent) of compound 1-4, 594 mg (7.11 mmol, 3.0 equivalents) of methoxyammonium chloride, 2.45 g (18.96 mmol, 8.0 equivalents) of DIPEA, 640 mg (4.74 mmol, 2.0 equivalents) of HOBT, and 999 mg (5.21 mmol, 2.2 equivalents) of EDCI.

[0354] Step 5: 18 mL of DCM and 900 mg (1.56 mmol, 1.0 equivalent) of compounds 1-5 were added to a 50 mL reaction flask along with 9 mL of TFA. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours until LC-MS indicated completion. After vacuum concentration, the residue was subjected to column chromatography to obtain 670 mg of compound 1, achieving a yield of 98.5%. 1 H NMR:(400MHz DMSO)δ 14.33(s,2H),11.79(s,1H),9.00(d,J=0.9Hz,1H),7.67(d,J=7.8Hz,1H),7.60(s,1H),7.46(t,J=7.7Hz,1H),7.35(d,J =7.7Hz,1H),7.17-7.06(m,2H),6.94(s,1H),6.70(d,J=7.2Hz,1H),5.91(s,1H),3.69(s,3H),2.26(s,3H),2.13(s,3H). LC-MS:[M-TFA+1] + =336.2
[0355] Step 6: Compound 1 was separated by chiral HPLC to obtain Compound 1-A and Compound 1-B. A 30 × 250 mm column packed with CHIRALPAK® IG (particle size 10 μm) was used as the chiral stationary phase. A mixture of 60% volume mobile phase A and 40% volume mobile phase B was used as the mobile phase. *Mobile phase A: 0.2% NH3 in hexane + MeOH *Mobile phase B: 0.2% NH3 in EtOH+MeOH The operating conditions are as follows: Temperature: Ambient temperature Flow rate: 25mL / min Detection: UV 214nm
[0356] 500 mg of compound 1 was isolated by column chromatography.

[0458] Step 4: In a 25 mL bottle, 10 mL of THF and 497 mg (2.81 mmol, 1.0 equivalent) of 510-3 were cooled to -80°C under nitrogen. After adding LDA (3.37 mL, 3.37 mmol, 1.2 equivalents), 731 mg (2.95 mmol, 1.05 equivalents) of 823-78-9 in 2 mL of THF were added. The mixture was warmed to room temperature overnight, quenched, and purified by column chromatography to obtain 670 mg of 510-4 in a yield of 68.9%.

[0482] Biological assays Example 1. FLIPR assay of α2AAR This experimental protocol included cell seeding and a FLIPR assay using an α2AAR (α2A-adrenergic receptor) cell line hosted on HEK293 cells. The growth medium used was DMEM (11965-092, Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS (FSP500, Excell), 300 μg / mL G418 (10131-027, Gibco), and 2 μg / mL blastosidine S HCl (BS) (A11139-03, Gibco). On day 1, the culture medium was removed to initiate the cell seeding process, followed by rinsing the cells with DPBS (21-031-CVC, Corning). The cells were then treated with 0.05% EDTA-trypsin (25300-062, Gibco), incubated at 37°C for 1-2 minutes, and monitored under an inverted microscope. The cells were detached, resuspended in growth medium, and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature. After discarding the supernatant, the cell pellet was divided into 10 × 10 5 The cells were resuspended in growth medium to a concentration of cells / mL. This suspension was added to a 384-well plate (Jul 38, 2019, Greiner) at a rate of 20 μL / well and incubated overnight at 37°C in 5% CO2.
[0483] On day 2, the FLIPR assay was initiated by preparing an assay buffer containing 20 mM HEPES (15630-106, Invitrogen), 1 × HBSS (14025-076, Invitrogen), and 0.5% BSA (B2064, Sigma). A 250 mM probenecid solution was prepared in this buffer. Fluo-4 Direct® Loading Buffer was prepared by dissolving Fluo-4 Direct® crystals (F10471, Invitrogen) in the FLIPR Assay Buffer and adding probenecid. The buffer was then vortexed and left to stand in the dark for 5 minutes. For the FLIPR procedure, the agonist active substance test compounds were serially diluted and transferred to a 384-well compound plate (25-Jan-39, Greiner). Next, the cell plates were treated with 2× Fluo-4 Direct® loading buffer and incubated in a 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C for 50 minutes, followed by 10 minutes at room temperature. Subsequently, FLIPR assay buffer was added to the compound plates, and then the plates were centrifuged.
[0484] Cell plates were analyzed for fluorescence signaling using the FLIPR Tetra+ System. For agonist testing, a reference compound was added to the cell plate and fluorescence was measured. Max-Min calculations were started from Read1 up to the maximum acceptable value. Data were analyzed using Prism software to calculate the activation rate for agonists and the inhibition rate for antagonists. The results were then fitted using a specific model to determine the EC of the agonists. 50 We made that decision.
[0485] The experimental protocol utilized various reagents and equipment, including penicillin / streptomycin (100×) (SV30010, Hyclone), poly-L-lysine hydrobromide (P1399, Sigma), and different types of 384-well plates such as 384-well PP 2.0 microplates (PP-0200, LABCYTE) and 384-well low dead-volume microplates (LP-0200, LABCYTE). The use of specific reference compounds, such as UK14304, was also essential to the assay.
[0486] Example 2. α2AAR binding assay The α2AR binding assay was performed using a stable HEK293 cell line specifically constructed by WuXi AppTec to target α2AAR. This assay primarily focused on the binding activity of the radioligand [3H]-RX 821002 (PerkinElmer, NET1153250UC) to α2AAR, with a membrane concentration of 0.5 μg / well and a radioligand concentration of 0.5 nM. The equipment essential for this assay includes, all sourced from Perkin Elmer: Unifilter-96 GF / C filter plates (Perkin Elmer, 6005174), 96-well conical polypropylene plates (Agilent, 5042-1385), TopSeal-A sealing film (Perkin Elmer, 6050185), MicroBeta2 reader (CNLL0153, Perkin Elmer, 1310887), and cell harvester (UNIFILTER-96, Perkin Elmer, 1951369). Both the assay buffer and wash buffer consist of 50 mM Tris-HCl at pH 7.4 (Tris base, Sigma, T1503-1KG).
[0487] The procedure began with the preparation of the test compound, reference compound, and yohimbine (Sigma, Y3125), and 1 μL of each was transferred to an assay plate by 8-step 4-fold serial dilutions. In this assay, 100 μL of membrane stock (0.5 μg / well) and 100 μL of 0.5 nM [3H]-RX 821002 were added to each well. After sealing, the plates were agitated at room temperature for 1 hour. Subsequently, Unifilter-96 GF / C filter plates were pre-immersed in 0.3% PEI (Sigma, P3143) for at least 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then filtered and washed four times with cold wash buffer using a Perkin Elmer Cell harvester. After filtration, the plates were dried at 50°C for 1 hour. The next step involved sealing the bottom of the filter plate wells with Perkin Elmer Unifilter-96 backing seal tape and adding 50 μL of MicroScint-O cocktail (PerkinElmer, 6013611) to each well. The top of the plate was then sealed with TopSeal-A sealing film. Captured 3H was quantified using a Perkin Elmer MicroBeta2 Reader. The inhibition rate was calculated using the following formula: Inhibition Rate = (1 - (Assay Well Mean LC) / (Mean HC - Mean LC)) × 100%. Finally, the data were analyzed using Prism 5.0 software with a "log(inhibitor) vs. reaction--variable gradient" model. This comprehensive process accurately assessed the binding affinity of the compound to α2AAR.
[0488] The results of the α2AAR FLIPR assay and binding assay are shown in Table 3 below.

[0494] Example 3. MDR1-MDCK permeability assay MDR1-MDCK II cells (obtained from Piet Borst at the Netherlands Cancer Institute) were fermented from day 4 to day 7 for confluent cell monolayer formation, with a total dose of 3.33 × 10⁴ cells. 5 Cells were seeded at a concentration of 1 / mL onto a polycarbonate membrane (PC) in a 96-well insert system.
[0495] α2AR agonists selected from Table 3s were diluted to a concentration of 2 μM in transport buffer (HBSS containing 10.0 mM Hepes, pH 7.4) from DMSO stock solution (DMSO < 1%) and applied to the apical or basal outer side of a cell monolayer. Digoxin was used as a positive control for P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates, and clonidine, dexmedetomidine, phaldomidine, and brimonidine were used as negative controls. The transmittance of the test compound in the A-to-B direction and / or B-to-A direction was measured in duplicate. Digoxin was tested in duplicate in the A-to-B and B-to-A directions at 10.0 μM. Plates were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37.0 ± 1.0 °C for 2.5 hours using 5.0% CO2 at saturated humidity without shaking. In addition, the efflux ratio of each compound was measured. Test compounds and reference compounds were quantified by LC / MS / MS analysis based on the peak area ratio of the sample / IS.
[0496] Following the transport assay, the integrity of the cell monolayer was determined by applying a Lucifer Yellow rejection assay. After removing buffer from both the apical and basal chambers, 75 μL of 100 μM Lucifer Yellow was added to the transport buffer, and 250 μL of transport buffer was added to both the apical and basal chambers, respectively. The plates were incubated at 37.0°C for 30 minutes at 5.0% CO2 and 95.0% relative humidity without shaking. After 30 minutes of incubation, a 20 μL Lucifer Yellow sample was taken from the apical side, followed by the addition of 60 μL of transport buffer. Then, an 80 μL Lucifer Yellow sample was taken from the basal side. The relative fluorescence units (RFU) of Lucifer Yellow were measured at 425 / 528 nm (excitation / emission) using an Envision plate reader.
[0497] The apparent transmittance coefficient Papp (cm / s) was calculated using the following formula: Papp = (dCr / dt) × Vr / (A × C0) In the formula, dCr / dt is the cumulative concentration of the compound in the receiver chamber as a function of time (μM / s), and Vr is the volume of solution in the receiver chamber (0.075 mL at the tip and 0.25 mL at the base). A is the surface area for transport, i.e., 0.143 cm² for the area of the single layer. C0 is the initial concentration (μM) in the donor chamber.
[0498] The emission ratio was calculated using the following formula: Emission ratio=Papp(BA) / Papp(AB)
[0499] The results of the MDR1-MDCK permeability assay are shown in Table 4 below.

[0501] Example 4. In vivo drug distribution The binding affinity of various compounds, including clonidine HCl, dexmedetomidine HCl, 1-B HCl, and 44-B HCl, to plasma proteins was evaluated using warfarin as a control. The experiment utilized HT dialysis plates (HTD 96 b) and dialysis membranes with molecular weight cutoffs of 12–14 kDa. Plasma was derived from male C57BL / 6J mice treated with EDTA-K2 as an anticoagulant. The experimental procedure began with plasma thawing in cold tap water, followed by centrifugation at 3220 × g for 5 minutes to remove blood clots, and adjustment of pH to 7.4 ± 0.1.
[0502] The dialysis membranes were first hydrated in ultrapure water for approximately 1 hour, and then treated in a 20:80 ethanol-water mixture for 20 minutes. These prepared membranes can be used immediately or stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. The membranes were rinsed with ultrapure water before use.
[0503] The test compound and control compound were prepared at a concentration of 400 μM by diluting the stock solution with DMSO. The working solution was further diluted to prepare a 2 μM loading matrix solution, which was then thoroughly mixed. For the assay, 50 μL aliquots of these solutions were dispensed into a sample collection plate in double repeats and balanced with blank PBS to a final volume of 100 μL per well. A stop solution containing acetonitrile, tolbutamide, and labetalol was added, the sample was mixed, and cooled to 2–8°C.
[0504] During dialysis, 100 μL aliquots from the loading matrix were placed on the donor side of the dialysis well and mixed with an equal volume of PBS on the receiver side, and incubated at 37°C for 4 hours. After dialysis, samples were collected from both sides, equilibrated to 100 μL with the corresponding blank fluid, treated with stop solution, vortexed, and centrifuged to prepare for LC-MS / MS analysis.
[0505] Data analysis included calculating the proportions of unbound, bound, and recovered compounds after dialysis. The unbound rate was calculated as the ratio of the peak area of the compound on the receiver side to the internal standard, reflecting the proportion that passed through the membrane. The bound rate was the complement of the unbound rate and represented the fraction retained on the donor side. The recovery rate was determined from the ratio of peak areas on both sides of the membrane, evaluating the dialysis efficiency in retaining the compound. These metrics provided insights into the amount of compound released, bound, and recoverable, elucidating its behavior in the dialysis system. The results for plasma protein binding ratios are shown in Table 5.

[0507] The binding affinity of various compounds, including clonidine HCl, dexmedetomidine HCl, 1-B HCl, and 44-B HCl, to brain proteins was evaluated using propranolol as a control. For the initial preparation of the dialysis membrane, brain homogenate was thawed in a water bath at room temperature and then heated at 37°C for 10 minutes. The dialysis apparatus used was manufactured by HT Dialysis LLC, and consisted of an HT-Dialysis plate (model HTD 96 b) and dialysis membranes with molecular weights of 12-14 kDa.
[0508] The membranes underwent comprehensive pretreatment, including hydration in ultrapure water at room temperature for approximately 1 hour. They were then separated and immersed in a 20:80 ethanol:water solution for approximately 20 minutes. After this treatment, the membranes were either used immediately or stored at 2–8°C for up to 1 month, with a final rinse in ultrapure water before experimental use.
[0509] For compound preparation, the test substance and control substance were first dissolved, and a 400 μM working solution was prepared by mixing 4 μL of stock solution with 96 μL of DMSO. Next, 3 μL of the prepared solution was thoroughly mixed with 597 μL of matrix, and these working solutions were further diluted to 2 μM with a blank matrix.
[0510] During the assay, 50 μL aliquots of 2 μM compound-matrix mixture were dispensed in triples into a sample collection plate. Each aliquot was paired with an equal volume of blank PBS, and the total volume was standardized to 100 μL per well with a matrix-to-PBS ratio of 1:1. The samples were stabilized at T0 by adding a stop solution containing 500 μL of acetonitrile with 250 nM tolbutamide and labetalol to each well. The samples were then shaken at 800 rpm for 10 minutes and stored at 2–8°C.
[0511] The dialysis procedure included assembling the dialysis machine according to the manufacturer's specifications, filling the donor side of the dialysis well with matrix aliquots, and performing dialysis for 4 hours at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2.
[0512] After dialysis, 50 μL of sample was collected from both the receiver and donor sides into a new 96-well plate. The volume was adjusted to 100 μL by adding an equal volume of the opposite blank matrix or PBS. The samples were prepared for LC-MS / MS analysis after thorough apex treatment and centrifugation. Blank control samples were prepared and processed in the same manner as the test conditions.
[0513] Data analysis included calculating the proportions of undiluted unbound and bound fractions, as well as recovering the compounds. The undiluted unbound fraction was determined using the following formula: Undiluted unbound fraction = 100 × 1 / D / ((1 / (F / T)-1)+1 / D) (where D is the dilution factor (10)). The undiluted binding fraction was calculated as 100 - undiluted unbound fraction. The recovery rate was calculated using the following formula: Recovery rate = 100 × (F+T) / T0 (where F and T represent the peak area ratio of the compound to the internal standard on the receiver and donor sides, respectively, after 4 hours of incubation). The brain protein binding results are shown in Table 6.
[0514] [Table 46]
[0515] Male C57BL / 6J mice were used in the in vivo distribution assay. Brain, spinal cord, and serum samples were collected for drug distribution calculations.
[0516] Before commencing the experiment, the mice were allowed to acclimate to the laboratory for at least three days. During this period, their general health was assessed by veterinary staff or other authorized personnel. The mice were divided into groups of up to four per cage, placed in polysulfone cages, and used certified aspen wood shavings or corn cob bedding. This bedding was regularly tested for environmental contaminants by the manufacturer. The laboratory environment was carefully controlled to maintain a temperature range of 20–26°C, relative humidity of 40–70%, and a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark cycle, although this cycle could be interrupted for research-related activities. Temperature and humidity were continuously monitored by a Vawasala ViewLinc monitoring system.
[0517] For administration, the appropriate amount of compound was accurately weighed and mixed with the appropriate volume of solvent to obtain a clear solution. This process may require vertex treatment or sonic treatment in a water bath. The formulation was administered to animals within 4 hours of preparation. Samples were then collected from each formulation for dose verification using either LC / UV or LC-MS / MS analysis.
[0518] For administration after the facility's SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), oral gastric tube feeding was used, and the dose volume was based on the animal's body weight measured on the morning of the administration day. Compounds such as clonidine HCl at 5 mg / kg, dexmedetomidine HCl at 5 mg / kg, compound 1-B at 5 mg / kg and 80 mg / kg, and compound 44-B at 5 mg / kg and 80 mg / kg were administered in a 20% HP-β-CD aqueous solution, and samples were planned to be collected at 0.5, 1, 2, and 8 hours post-administration.
[0519] Blood was collected from the saphenous vein or another suitable site, and approximately 0.1 mL per time point was collected in a pre-chilled, commercially available EDTA-K2 tube. The samples were kept on moist ice until centrifuged at 4°C and 3,200 g for 10 minutes. The plasma was then transferred to a pre-labeled 96-well plate or polypropylene tube, rapidly frozen on dry ice, and stored at -60°C or below until LC-MS / MS analysis.
[0520] Brain and spinal cord tissues were immediately collected, washed with cold saline, dried, and weighed. These samples were homogenized in a cold 15 mM PBS (pH 7.4):MeOH = 2:1 solution with a tissue-to-buffer ratio of 1:9. The homogenates were divided into two aliquots, one for immediate LC-MS / MS analysis and the other for backup, stored at -70±10°C. This comprehensive method ensures detailed and standardized collection and analysis of pharmacokinetic data in a controlled and scientifically rigorous manner.
[0521] The inventors have proposed the formula AUC ratio = tissue AUC 0-last / plasma AUC 0-last The AUC ratio was calculated using the following formula: LogBB = log 10 (Brain AUC) 0-last / plasma AUC 0-last ), LogSB=log 10 (Brain AUC) 0-last / spinal cord AUC 0-last ), Kp = brain AUC 0-last / plasma AUC 0-last And Kp,uu,brain = AUCb,u / AUCp,u = AUCbrain / AUCplasm × (fu,brain / fu,plasma). The results of drug distribution in vivo are shown in Table 7.
[0522] [Table 47]
[0523] Example 5. Efficacy test for partial nerve injury in mice Fifty male C57BL / 6 mice weighing 20–30 g were subjected to partial nerve injury (SNI) surgery, with six mice undergoing sham surgery and the remainder undergoing SNI surgery. Several days after SNI surgery, all animals were subjected to mechanical allodynia testing to obtain baseline paw withdrawal threshold (PWT). To evaluate the efficacy of the test compound, eligible mice with a baseline PWT < 0.6 g were randomly assigned to different groups (solvent group and test compound group) based on baseline PWT and six sham mice (eight mice per group) in the sham group.
[0524] After arriving at the animal facility, the animals were allowed to acclimate to the environment for 3 to 7 days. Three days before the first mechanical allo-pain test, the animals were allowed to acclimate to the test environment for 15 minutes per day.
[0525] Aseptic techniques were used by all surgeons, and all surgical instruments, including scissors, sharp forceps, scalpels, sterile cotton pads, needles, and metal clips, were sterilized before surgery. The animals were anesthetized with Zoletil 50 (50 mg / kg, 2.5 mL / kg, intraperitoneal administration) and xylazine hydrochloride (8 mg / kg, 2.5 mL / kg, intraperitoneal administration), pinched with toes to ensure complete anesthesia before incision, and eye ointment was applied to the rodents' eyes to prevent corneal drying. The hair on the posterior thigh was closely shaved, and the skin at the surgical site was swabded three times alternately with beta-zine and 70% ethanol, then dried. The biceps femoris muscle was incised to expose the sciatic nerve and its terminal branches, and the cutaneous nerve, general cervical nerves, and tibial nerve were severed by incising the biceps femoris muscle, leaving the cutaneous nerve intact. The wound was closed in layers, and the skin was sutured. Surgical instruments were cleaned and sterilized using a glass bead sterilizer after surgery. Animals recovering from anesthesia with a warming pad were subcutaneously injected with 1 mL of sterile saline to prevent dehydration, and were returned to their home cages once they were fully awake and able to move.
[0526] On day 11, the animals were individually placed in plastic enclosures with mesh bottoms to allow full foot access. For three consecutive days, the mice were adapted for 15 minutes daily. Baseline measurements of mechanical allodynia were performed on day 14. Animals that did not exhibit allodynia (PWT > 0.6g) were excluded, leaving 24 eligible animals (PWT < 0.6g). These were then randomly divided into three groups based on baseline PWT, in addition to 6 Siamese mice to form the Siamese group, resulting in a total of four groups of 6-8 mice each.
[0527] The therapeutic interventions for compounds 1-B, 10-B, 44-B, 45-B, 46-B, 47-B, 121, 136, 118, 156, and 175 at doses ranging from 1 mg / mL to 20 mg / mL were administered orally (po) at a dose of 1 mg / mL. Positive controls were administered subcutaneously at 1 mg / kg of morphine and po at 3 mg / kg of pregabalin, both prepared in 20% HP-β-CD solution. Compounds 1-B, 10-B, 44-B, 45-B, 46-B, and 47-B are active enantiomers of compounds 1, 10, 44, 45, 46, and 47, respectively, while compounds 121, 136, 118, and 156 are racemic mixtures. The solutions were vortexed to ensure complete and homogeneous mixing. The dose administered to mice was 10 ml / kg.
[0528] Mechanical allodynia testing was performed on the left hind limb of mice that had been individually placed in plastic enclosures with mesh bottoms for complete foot access and allowed to acclimate for 15 minutes prior to the test. After acclimatization, the midfoot hind limb was probed using eight Von Frey filaments of logarithmically increasing stiffness (0.02g (2.36), 0.04g (2.44), 0.07g (2.83), 0.16g (3.22), 0.4g (3.61), 0.6g (3.84), 1g (4.08), 1.4g (4.17)). The filaments were applied perpendicularly to the plantar surface of the paw pad with a force sufficient to cause slight buckling, and contact was maintained for 6–8 seconds. The test was performed at 5-second intervals to clearly distinguish the response to the previous stimulus, and a clear withdrawal or flinch when the filament was removed indicated a positive response, clearly indicating the response to the previous stimulus. The walking response was deemed ambiguous, prompting repeated stimulation. Following the Dixon up-down method, the test was initiated with a 0.16g (3.22g) filament, and the force of subsequent filaments was adjusted up or down according to the mouse's response. The maximum force used was a 1.4g (4.17g) filament, and the criterion for a positive response was a clear retraction or flinching of the foot immediately after filament removal.
[0529] The data were plotted in Prism 8.0 (Graph Pad Software, Inc.) using one-way or two-way ANOVA, followed by Dunnett or Tukey multiple comparisons, or by t-tests, followed by two-tailed comparison tests. The results are shown in Figures 1A to 1H.
[0530] Example 7. Efficacy of a mouse model of bone cancer pain. The animals were allowed to acclimate to the environment for 3-7 days after arrival at the facility. Male C3H / He mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of a combination of Zoletil 50 (50 mg / kg) and xylazine hydrochloride (8 mg / kg) and placed in a supine position. The right hind limb was shaved and sterilized. A minimal incision was made in the right hind leg, the patellar ligament was cut, and the cecum of the distal femur was exposed. The proximal part of the femur was perforated with a 0.3 mL injection needle. 2 × 10 4NCTC-2472 cells were suspended in a pellet consisting of 2 mL of cell stock by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 4 minutes, washed twice with 2 mL of PBS, and then 2 × 10⁶ cells were prepared. 6 A 10 μL suspension containing (resuspended in PBS at a concentration of cells / mL) was slowly injected into the medullary lumen of the femur. Control animals received a 10 μL PBS injection (day 0). The animals were then allowed to acclimate to the test environment for a further 3 days before baseline PWT measurements were initiated.
[0531] On day 14, baseline measurements of mechanical allodynia were performed. Animals that did not exhibit allodynia (PWT > 0.6 g) were excluded. The remaining eligible animals were then randomly assigned to four groups based on their baseline PWT values, as outlined in Section 5.1. The animals received a single injection of test compounds at a dose of 10 mL / kg based on body weight, including oral pregabalin 3 mg / kg, subcutaneous morphine 1 mg / kg, oral 44-B 1 mg / kg, and oral 1-B 20 mg / kg and oral 44-B 20 mg / kg. Mechanical allodynia tests were performed at various post-administration time points as indicated by the different experimental requirements for the sham drug group and the solvent group. Each mouse was placed in a separate plastic enclosure with a mesh floor to allow free access to its feet and acclimate for 15 minutes prior to the test. Mechanical allodynia tests were performed and analyzed as described in the SNI model of Example 6. The results are shown in Figures 2A–2D.
[0532] Example 8. Evaluation of efficacy in a postoperative pain model in mice. Upon arrival at the facility, the animals were adaptively fed for 3–7 days. Furthermore, for 3 days prior to surgical procedures, all animals were placed in the test environment and allowed to acclimate for at least 15 minutes each day.
[0533] Aseptic techniques were strictly followed by all surgeons. All surgical instruments, including scissors, sharp forceps, scalpels, sterile cotton pads, needles, and metal clips, were sterilized before use. The animals were anesthetized with Zoletil 50 (50 mg / kg, 2.5 mL / kg, intraperitoneal) and xylazine hydrochloride (8 mg / kg, 2.5 mL / kg, intraperitoneal). Deep anesthesia was confirmed by pinching the toes before making the incision. To prevent corneal dryness, eye ointment was applied to the animals' eyes. The plantar surface of the left hind foot was washed three times alternately with betadine and 70% ethanol, and the surface was air-dried. A 0.5 mm longitudinal incision was then made through the skin and fascia from 2 mm proximal to the heel towards the toes. The plantar muscles were incised longitudinally, preserving the origin and insertion points. Hemostasis was achieved with gentle pressure, and the skin was closed with two mattress sutures. After surgery, all surgical instruments were cleaned and re-sterilized using a glass bead sterilizer. The animals were allowed to recover from anesthesia on a heated recovery pad and orally hydrated with 1 mL of sterile saline to prevent dehydration. Once fully awake and moving, the animals were returned to their home cages.
[0534] On postoperative day 1, all animals, including those in the naive group, were evaluated for mechanical allodynia using a touch sensory assessment device. Surgical animals that did not show allodynia (PWT > 0.6g) were excluded, leaving only 24 eligible surgical animals. These were randomly assigned to three groups based on their baseline PWT, forming a total of four groups, including the naive group.
[0535] The test compounds were administered to the animals: morphine at 3 mg / mL subcutaneously, 1-B HCl at 10 mg / mL orally, and 44-B HCl at 10 mg / mL orally, all at a dose of 10 mL / kg based on body weight. Naive animals were also evaluated, but no treatment was administered. Mechanical allodynia tests were performed and analyzed as described in the SNI model of Example 6. The results are shown in Figures 3A to 3C.
[0536] Example 9. In vivo efficacy study of treatment with the MC38 syngeneic model of subcutaneous colorectal cancer in female C57BL6 / J mice. The objective of this study is to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of a test skin sample for the treatment of MC38, a syngeneic model of subcutaneous colorectal cancer, in female C57BL6 / J mice. The mice are female Mus musculus C57BL6 / J, with an average age of 6–8 weeks, supplied by Beijing HFK Bioscience Co., LTD. The cages are polysulfone IVC cages maintained at a temperature of 20–26°C and humidity of 40–70%. The light cycle is 12 hours light, 12 hours dark. The mice are given free access to a standard rodent diet and are irradiated. They are also given free access to softened and filtered RO (reverse osmosis) water, which is autoclaved and filtered.
[0537] The study was designed according to the table below, using clonidine and compound 1-B HCl as the control and test samples, respectively. Due to poor mouse condition caused by high doses, the doses of clonidine in group G2 and 1-B HCl in group G4 were adjusted from 5 mg / mL to 2 mg / mL and from 10 mg / kg to 5 mg / kg, respectively, starting from day 4. The detailed design and formulation are shown in Table 8.
[0538] [Table 48]
[0539] MC38 cancer cells were maintained in vitro at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 air using DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 50 μg / mL hygromycin B. Cells in the exponential growth phase were collected and quantified by a cell counter before tumor inoculation. For tumor development, MC38 tumor cells (1 × 10⁶) were mixed with PBS in 0.1 mL of PBS. 6 (1) was injected subcutaneously into the right posterior flank region of each mouse. Randomization was performed on mice with an average tumor size of approximately 121.36 mm. 3 The study began when the target number of mice reached a certain level. Thirty mice were enrolled in the study. All animals were randomly assigned to five test groups, with six mice in each group. Randomization was performed using the "consistently matched distribution" method. The date of randomization was designated as day 0.
[0540] Treatment was initiated on the same day as randomization (Day 0) for each study design. After tumor cell inoculation, animals were checked daily for morbidity and mortality. During routine monitoring, animals were checked for the effects of tumor growth and treatment on behavior, including motility, food and water consumption, weight gain / loss (weight was measured twice weekly after randomization), loss of eye / coat luster, and any other abnormalities. Mortality and observed clinical signs were recorded in detail for each individual animal. Tumor volume was measured twice weekly after randomization using calipers in two dimensions, and the volume was expressed in mm³ using the following formula: V = (L × W × W) / 2 (where V is tumor volume, L is tumor length (longest tumor dimension), and W is tumor width (longest tumor dimension perpendicular to L)). Dosage and measurements of tumors and weight were performed in a clean bench. Weight and tumor volume were measured using StudyDirector® software (version 3.1.399.19).
[0541] All animals' body weight was monitored throughout the study, and animals that lost more than 20% of their body weight on the day of randomization were euthanized. Meanwhile, if the tumor volume was 3000 mm³, 3 If the threshold was exceeded, individual mice were euthanized. To prevent cannibalism, any animal showing ulceration or necrotic tumors was immediately isolated, housed alone, and monitored daily before euthanasia or until tumor regression was complete. Mice were rapidly euthanized if a) the tumor ulcerated and the ulcer diameter exceeded 5 mm, or if pus or necrosis was observed, or b) the tumor volume, including metastases, impaired the animal's normal physiological abilities, such as orientation, access to food or water, etc.
[0542] Body weight during randomization is shown in Figure 4A. Tumor growth in each treatment and control group is shown in Figure 4B. On day 17, mice were sacrificed, and tumors were removed and measured. The data are shown in Figure 4C. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI) and T / C were calculated based on tumor size data on day 17, the last day of treatment administration. Tumor volume is shown as mean ± SEM, and T / C% is expressed as TGI% = tumor volume of treatment group ÷ tumor volume of control group × 100%. TGI% = (1 - T / C) × 100%. The results of the pharmacodynamic analysis are shown in Table 9.
[0543] [Table 49]
[0544] Example 10. Spontaneous motor activity in mice This study evaluated the effects of clonidine, brimonidine tartrate, compound 1-B HCl, and compound 44-B HCl on the spontaneous motility activity of male C57BL / 6 mice. First, the mice were acclimatized to the test environment for 8 hours the day before the experiment, followed by at least 2 hours of acclimatization on the day of the experiment. The mice were then randomly divided into groups of 6 based on body weight to ensure a balanced distribution for administration of the drugs dissolved in 20% HP-β-CD water. On the day of the experiment, in one study, a fresh dose of clonidine at 1 mg / kg and compound 1-B HCl at concentrations of 1 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, and 20 mg / kg were prepared and administered orally in a volume of 10 mL / kg. In the other study, a fresh dose of clonidine at 1 mg / kg, a dose of brimonidine tartrate at 1 mg / kg, and compound 44-B HCl at 1 mg / kg were prepared and administered orally in a volume of 10 mL / kg.
[0545] Spontaneous motility activity was monitored by placing mice in the center of a test chamber and measuring the distance moved every 5 minutes for 60 minutes using a video tracking system. The test started at T=0 minutes immediately after administration of the solvent or compound and ended at T=60 minutes. For data analysis, Prism 8.3.0 software was used to analyze distance variability over different time points using two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparison test, and to assess the total distance covered by the groups using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test. A significance level of p<0.05 was established to determine statistical significance. As shown in Figure 5, no significant sedation was observed after treatment with compound 1-B HCl at 1 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, and 20 mg / kg in the first assay, and with compound 44-B HCl at 1 mg / kg in the second assay. However, clonidine at 1 mg / kg in the first assay and brimonidine tartrate at 1 mg / kg in the second assay resulted in significant sedation. The total distances between 0 and 60 minutes in the two tests are shown in Figures 5A and 5B.
[0546] Example 11. Effects on the motor function of mice After arriving at the facility, the animals were allowed to acclimate for one week. The day before starting rotarod training, the mice were randomly assigned to groups based on body weight to ensure homogeneity between groups in terms of body weight before any treatment was administered.
[0547] Training on the rotor rod was conducted two days before the trial phase. On the first training day, mice received three trials on the rotor rod at a speed of 6 rpm, each lasting 120 seconds, with a 30-minute interval between trials. If a mouse fell before the 120 seconds were completed, it was immediately returned to the rotor rod to complete the training period. The training on the following day consisted of one trial at the same speed of 6 rpm, but the duration was extended to 300 seconds. Mice that fell before the 300-second mark were similarly returned to the rotor rod and continued until the training time was full.
[0548] On the day of the experiment, mice were orally administered 10 mL / kg based on their body weight. The treatment included a solvent, clonidine (1 mg / kg), and 44-B HCl at three different doses (1 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, and 20 mg / kg). The time of compound administration was defined as time 0.
[0549] Rotarod tests were performed at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after administration, with each session lasting 300 seconds at a speed of 6 rpm. The primary indicator was the latency time until the mouse fell off the rotarod, which was used as an indicator of the compound's effect on motor function.
[0550] The data was recorded in Microsoft Excel and then analyzed using GraphPad Prism. Statistical significance was assessed at a threshold p-value of less than 0.05, indicating a significant difference between treatment groups.
[0551] The detailed analysis method is described below. First, the data is evaluated for normal distribution and homogeneity of variance. If the data follows both a normal distribution and homogeneity of variance, a t-test is applied to comparisons involving two datasets, and a one-way ANOVA is used for analyses involving multiple datasets. If the data exhibits a normal distribution but heterogeneity of variance, Welch's t-test is used for two datasets, and a nonparametric test is used for multiple datasets. If the data does not fit a normal distribution, the Mann-Whitney test is applied to two datasets, and the Kruskal-Wallis test is applied to multiple datasets. The results are shown in Figures 6A-6D.
