Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to novel 3-azabicycloalkyl derivative compounds having inhibitory activity against ketohexokinase (KHK) and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same as an active ingredient. [Background technology]

[0002] The causes of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, a metabolic disease, are largely known to be the formation of fatty liver, increased inflammation, cell death, etc. As a chronic disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis can gradually progress to liver fibrosis, liver sclerosis, and liver cancer.

[0003] On the other hand, ketohexokinase (KHK) is an enzyme involved in fructose metabolism, and is a type of kinase responsible for the phosphorylation of fructose in fructose metabolism. Unlike glucose metabolism, fructose metabolism is not subject to energy-dependent inhibition, so it induces rapid accumulation of fat in the liver and affects the formation of fatty liver. Therefore, inhibiting ketohexokinase (KHK) can be expected to have an effect of suppressing the formation of fatty liver, which is one of the causes of the onset of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

[0004] In animal experimental models, it has been observed that when ketohexokinase (KHK) activity is suppressed, the overall indicators of metabolic diseases are improved, and no difference in the phenotype of ketohexokinase (KHK) knockout mice was observed compared to normal mice, so it is predicted that there will be no major side effects from ketohexokinase (KHK) inhibition.

[0005] However, because ketohexokinase (KHK) is responsible for phosphorylation using ATP, there is a possibility that inhibiting ketohexokinase (KHK) may inhibit other types of kinases, which has raised many concerns about the safety of KHK inhibitors as a chronic disease treatment. Therefore, it is important that ketohexokinase (KHK) inhibitors have selectivity over other kinases.

[0006] Although research on ketohexokinase (KHK) inhibitors is currently being actively conducted, the reality is that there is still a need for the development of therapeutic agents that can be conveniently used for the prevention or treatment of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, diabetic complications, obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver, and steatohepatitis.

[0175] [Experimental Example] In vitro activity measurement of ketohexokinase inhibitors Ketohexokinase was expressed in E. coli and purified using His tag. The activity of the purified ketohexokinase was measured using the Transcreener ADP2 TR-FRET Red Assay kit from BellBrook Labs. The appropriate concentration of ketohexokinase was reacted with a solution containing ATP and fructose for 15 minutes, and the amount of ADP produced was measured using TR-FRET. To check the activity of ketohexokinase inhibitors, ketohexokinase was first reacted with an appropriate concentration of inhibitor for 30 minutes, and then reacted with a solution containing ketohexokinase substrate for 15 minutes. After the reaction for TR-FRET was allowed to continue for 1 hour, fluorescence was measured using PerkinElmer's Envision instrument. The Envision instrument settings were determined according to the TR-FRET optimization procedure published by BellBrook Labs.

[0176] The results for each concentration of ketohexokinase inhibitor were determined as the ratio of 665 nm wavelength to 615 nm wavelength. At this time, the 665 / 615 ratio value was converted to the ADP concentration based on the ADP standard curve, and the inhibitory activity Ki value was calculated using the Morrison equation in statistical software (Prizm).

[0177] The Ki values ​​of the example compounds obtained through the above experiments are shown in Table 1 below. [Table 1]

[0178] The Ki value indicates the binding affinity between an inhibitor and an enzyme, and the lower the Ki value, the better the inhibitory activity. Therefore, it can be confirmed from the above results that the compounds of the examples of the present invention exhibit excellent inhibitory activity.

[0179] The 3-azabicycloalkyl derivative compound of formula 1 according to the present invention has ketohexokinase (KHK) inhibitory activity and can be effectively used for the prevention or treatment of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, diabetic complications, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver, and steatohepatitis.
