Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention belongs to the biomedical field, and specifically relates to a hydantoin compound having PPARα / δ dual agonist activity and its medical use as a PPARα / δ dual agonist. [Background technology]
[0002] Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors (PPARs) are a family of nuclear receptors that contain subtypes, PPARα, PPARδ, and PPARγ, respectively. Studies have shown that activation of PPARs plays a positive role in improving metabolic diseases, cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, organ regeneration, retinopathy, or tumors (Mol.Cells., 2012, 33, 217; J. Biomed. Sci., 2017, 24, 5; J. Med. Chem., 2017, 55, 4027; Endocr. J., 2007, 54, 347). The development and application of PPARs agonists is a potential therapeutic strategy to intervene in various diseases mentioned above. However, PPARγ agonists have been proven to have the risks of weight gain, edema, bone fractures, and potential heart failure. Therefore, the development of selective PPARα / δ dual agonists may provide a safe and effective novel route for the treatment of the above diseases.
[0003] The PPARα / δ dual agonist currently under clinical development is GFT505 (Elafibranor), developed by Genfit, France. GFT505 has undergone multiple clinical trials in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cholestatic cholangitis, and kidney disease. Unfortunately, the mid-term analysis of a Phase 3 clinical trial for anti-non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) showed that the results were essentially ineffective (NCT02704403), and the reasons for the poor clinical trial results may be related to the low PPARα / δ agonist activity of GFT505, its poor metabolic stability, and its short half-life.
[0004] In summary, there is a strong need for the clinical development of highly active PPARα / δ dual agonists with excellent pharmacokinetic properties. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Object of the invention: The present invention provides a novel hydantoin compound to solve the problems existing in conventional PPARs agonists. The hydantoin compound of the present invention has strong agonistic activity against PPARα and PPARδ, and very weak agonistic activity against PPARγ, and therefore has excellent selectivity and good pharmacokinetic properties. Therefore, such compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, deuterated compounds or solvates can be applied to the preparation of PPARα / δ dual agonists.
[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a medical use of the above-mentioned hydantoin compounds as PPARα / δ dual agonists. Such compounds and their pharma- ceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, deuterated compounds or solvates can be applied to the preparation of drugs for preventing or treating PPARα and / or PPARδ mediated diseases.

Depending on the degree of the disease and the dosage form, the dose may deviate from this range.
[0022] Considering that the α,β-unsaturated ketone structure in GFT505 molecule may cause the stability of liver microsome to deteriorate, the present inventors have replaced the α,β-unsaturated ketone fragment in GFT505 molecule structure with a hydantoin fragment to design and synthesize the hydantoin compound of the present invention. Surprisingly, by measuring the agonist activity of the hydantoin compound against PPAR, it has been found that by replacing the α,β-unsaturated ketone structure with a hydantoin fragment, a series of compounds with much stronger agonist activity against PPARα and PPARδ than GFT505 can be obtained, and it is particularly surprising that the agonist activity of the preferred compound of the present invention (e.g., compound 1) against PPARα / δ can reach picomolar level. It should be noted that compound 1 is the first PPARα / δ dual agonist whose agonist activity against both PPARα and PPARδ can reach picomolar level. In addition, the compounds of the present invention have a much greater stability to human liver microsomes than GFT505, and have excellent in vivo pharmacokinetic properties.
[0023] Beneficial Effects: The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art: (1) The present invention provides a novel hydantoin compound having a strong agonistic effect on both PPARα and PPARδ. For example, Compound 1 has an EC 50 Both reach picomolar levels and have balanced agonist activity, making it the most potent and balanced PPARα / δ dual agonist to date. In comparable test systems, its activity is significantly superior to PPARα / δ dual agonists reported in the literature, such as the Phase 3 clinical trial drug GFT505 and the currently reported compound H11, which has the best activity (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2022, 65, 2571-2592).
[0024] (2) By analyzing the co-crystal structure of PPARδ and compound 1, it is found that in addition to forming important hydrogen bond interactions between the carboxylic acid group and three important amino acid residues His323, His449, and Tyr473 of PPARδ, compound 1 also has multiple special "water bridge" hydrogen bond interactions between the hydantoin ring structure in the compound and the amino acids Thr289, Thr292, and Cys285 of PPARδ. Such a completely new binding mode may be the reason why the hydantoin derivative-based PPARα / δ dual agonist of the present invention has strong agonistic activity and high selectivity.
[0025] (3) The compounds of the present invention have better in vivo pharmacokinetic properties than the Phase 3 clinical trial drug GFT505. Therefore, the compounds of the present invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used to prepare PPARα / δ dual agonists, and further can be used to prepare drugs for preventing or treating PPARα and / or PPARδ mediated diseases.
[0026] (4) The compounds of the present invention show very high selectivity for the activation of PPARγ and PPARα / PPARδ, and show significantly better selectivity than GFT505. Among them, the selectivity of compound 1 for PPARγ is even 2000 times higher. However, it is known that activation of PPARγ leads to weight gain, edema, bone fracture and heart failure (Toxicol. Sci., 2006, 90, 269). Therefore, the compounds of the present invention have potential advantages in terms of safety. In addition, the compounds of the present invention do not have significant agonistic effects on any of the other nuclear receptors, suggesting high selectivity for PPARα / δ.
[0027] (5) In NASH mouse model, cholestasis mouse model and liver fibrosis mouse model, the compound of the present invention (e.g., compound 1) has anti-NASH, anti-cholestasis and anti-fibrosis effects at very low doses that are superior to the PPARα / δ dual agonist GFT505 under clinical study, and has very good safety.The compound of the present invention is shown to have very good clinical application prospects.
[0028] (6) The hydantoin compounds of the present invention are ingeniously designed, have simple structures, are produced from inexpensive and readily available raw materials, and have safe and environmentally friendly synthesis processes, which facilitate large-scale production.

[0036] Synthesis of intermediate A-3 Under argon protection, intermediate A-2 (2.4 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in acetic acid (10 mL), and a suspension of sodium cyanate (3.9 g, 60 mmol) in acetic acid (20 mL) was added and stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction system was heated to 100°C and reacted with stirring for 12 hours. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, water (50 mL) was added, and the mixture was extracted with EA (50 mL x 3), and the organic phase was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution (50 mL x 1).

[0185] Example 124 Measurement of PPARα / PPARδ / PPARγ agonist activity of compounds by a method using the GAL4 hybridization reporter gene Cos-7 cells (African green monkey kidney fibroblasts, common tool cells) were cultured in 10 cm cell culture dishes in DMEM complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. When the cells had grown to approximately 70% confluency, they were prepared for transfection. First, the plasmid working solution was prepared, and the operation is as follows: 15 μg of pGL4.35-9×Gal4 UAS plasmid (purchased from Beijing Promega) and 15 μg of pBIND-Gal4-PPARα (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-PPARδ (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-PPARγ (LBD) plasmid (J. Chem. Inf. Model., 2020, 60, 1717) and 60 μL of transfection reagent (HighGene, purchased from Wuhan Aibo Taike Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) were added to 2 mL of Opti-MEM, and the working solution for plasmid transfection was obtained after standing at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then, the above working solution was combined with 8 mL of DMEM complete medium and added to the cell culture dish to perform cell transfection. Four hours after transfection, the cells were digested and resuspended, and seeded into a 96-well plate at 25,000 cells per well. After 24 hours of adhesion culture, the test compounds and positive drugs prepared in complete medium at appropriate test concentrations were added to the 96-well plate. During the measurement, the PPARα agonist activity of GW7647 (purchased from MCE) at a final concentration of 10 nM was taken as 100%, the δ agonist activity of GW501516 (purchased from MCE) at a final concentration of 10 nM was taken as 100%, and the PPARγ agonist activity of Rosiglitazone (purchased from Adamas) at a final concentration of 1 μM was taken as 100%. After the drug was allowed to act for 16 hours, the medium was discarded, 100 μL of reporter gene dissolving solution (purchased from Shanghai Biyuntian Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was added, and the cells were lysed by shaking for 15 minutes. 10 μL of the dissolving solution was then aspirated and added to a white opaque 384-well plate, and another 10 μL of reporter gene dissolving solution (purchased from Shanghai Biyuntian Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was added. After mixing and reaction, the biofluorescence was detected by a multi-function microplate reader, and the corresponding median effective concentration (EC 50) value is calculated. In this experiment, the PPARα / δ agonist GFT505 in phase 3 clinical trials and the potent PPARα / δ agonists 5c (ACS Med. Chem. Lett., 2019, 10, 1068) and H11 (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2022,65, 2571-2592) reported in the literature were used as positive control compounds, and the experimental results are shown in Table 2.
[0186] [Table 2] TIFF0007640809000143.tif154167The experimental results (Table 2) show that the compounds of the present invention have significant PPARs agonist activity. For example, compounds 1, 3, 29, 33, 41, 43, 45, 61, 75, 101, etc. have EC values of 100 to 1500 for PPARα and PPARδ agonist activity. 50 The values all reached nanomolar levels, and compound 1 (PPARα:EC 50 = 0.7 nM; PPARδ:EC 50 =0.4 nM) is the EC 50 All of the values were at the nanomolar level, and had very good selectivity for PPARγ (selectivity over 2000-fold). The above results demonstrated that the compounds of the present invention are potent and highly selective PPARα / PPARδ dual agonists.
[0187] Example 125 Evaluation of metabolic stability of compounds to human liver microsomes A 500μM acetonitrile solution of the compound was prepared and diluted with 0.1M potassium phosphate solution to a 1.5μM drug working solution. The drug working solution was co-incubated with a human liver microsome working solution with a final concentration of 0.75mg / mL and an NADPH solution (final concentration of 550μM). The incubation was stopped by adding acetonitrile solution at 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. The amount of the compound remaining in the system at each time point was detected by LC / MS, and the absolute value of the slope k was measured by plotting the natural logarithm of the percentage of the remaining amount of the compound versus time, and the formula: T 1 / 2 The calculation was made using the formula (half-life) = ln2 / k = 0.693 / k. The experimental results are shown in Table 3.
[0188] [Table 3] As can be seen from the experimental results (Table 3), compound 1 has very good metabolic stability to human liver microsomes, and its metabolic stability to human liver microsomes is much better than that of GFT505 under comparable test conditions. Other compounds of the present invention also have excellent metabolic stability to human liver microsomes.
[0189] Example 126 In vivo pharmacokinetic evaluation of compound 1 in rats Animals: Six male SD rats, SPF grade, were obtained from Beijing Weitong Lihua Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. Grouping: Rats were divided into two groups, 3 rats per group, one was given oral administration and the other was given intravenous administration. The oral administration group was given 10 mpk, and the intravenous administration group was given 2 mpk. Experimental method: After administration to the intravenous administration group via tail vein injection, approximately 0.25 mL of blood was collected from the orbit at 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours, respectively. After blood collection, sodium heparin anticoagulant was added promptly, and the blood was placed on ice after collection. The rats in the oral administration group were fasted for 12 hours before administration and fed after 4 hours administration. After oral administration to the rats, approximately 0.25 mL of blood was collected from the orbit at 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours, respectively. After blood collection, sodium heparin anticoagulant was added promptly, and the blood was placed on ice after collection. All samples were centrifuged at 6000 r / min in a low-temperature centrifuge for 3 minutes to obtain plasma, and the content of the compound in the plasma was measured by LC-MS / MS-18, and the relevant pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated based on the plasma concentration data at different time points. The experimental results are shown in Table 4.
[0190] [Table 4] As can be seen from the experimental results (Table 4), the oral half-life of compound 1 was 6.72±1.39 hours, and the bioavailability of the compound was 104.70±0.17%, indicating that compound 1 has good pharmacokinetic properties. Other compounds of the present invention also have good in vivo pharmacokinetic properties.
[0191] Example 127 High selectivity of compound 1 for PPARα / δ The agonistic effect of Compound 1 on common nuclear receptors was measured by a method using the GAL4 hybridization reporter gene. The reporter gene plasmids of different nuclear receptors were constructed by referring to the method in the reference (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2022, 65, 2571-2592). The transfection working solution of different nuclear receptors was prepared and added to COS-7 cells. The preparation method of the transfection working solution is as follows: The constructed pBIND-Gal4-PPARα (LBD) (or pBIND-Gal4-PPARδ (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-PPARγ (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RARα (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RARγ (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RARβ (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RORα (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RORγ (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-ROR ...β (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RORβ (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RORα (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RORβ (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RORβ (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RORα (LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RORβ (LBD pBIND-Gal4-FXR(LBD) or pBIND-Gal4-RXRα(LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RXRγ(LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-RXRβ(LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-VDR(LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-LXRα(LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-LXRβ(LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-THβ(LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-PXR(LBD) plasmid or pBIND-Gal4-CAR(LBD) plasmid), and 15 μg of pGL4.35-9×Gal4 UAS plasmid (purchased from Beijing Promega) and 60 μL of transfection reagent (HighGene, purchased from Wuhan Aibo Taike Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) were added to 2 mL of Opti-MEM, and the working solution was obtained after standing at room temperature for 15 minutes. The agonist status of compound 1 against various kinds of nuclear receptors at a concentration of 1 μM was measured.
[0192] As can be seen from the experimental results (Table 5), Compound 1 has no significant agonistic effect on non-PPARs nuclear receptors at a concentration of 1 μM, and has a weak agonistic effect on PPARγ, so Compound 1 is considered to have high selectivity for the nuclear receptors PPARα / δ. Other compounds of the present invention also have similar effects. [Table 5]
[0193] Column 128 Compound 1 could effectively activate PPARα / δ downstream target gene expression in the liver and skeletal muscle of mice.
[0194] C57 mice were divided into three groups, 6 mice per group, namely, control group, low dose group (0.03 mg / kg), and high dose group (0.1 mg / kg). Compound 1 or the same volume of solvent control was administered to each group of mice according to the dose, and administered intragastrically for three consecutive days. On the third day of administration, the mice were euthanized and dissected to obtain materials. The liver and skeletal muscle were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen for subsequent experiments. After extracting RNA from the liver and skeletal muscle, the upregulation fold of PPARα / δ downstream target gene expression was measured. As can be seen from the results (Table 6), Pdk4, Acox1, Vlcad, and Angptl4 were significantly upregulated in the liver, and Pdk4 and Angptl4 were significantly upregulated in the skeletal muscle, with a certain dose-dependence. This suggested that compound 1 could act as a dual agonist PPARα / δ in the mouse body. Some of the other compounds of the present invention also have similar effects. [Table 6]
[0195] Example 129 Compound 1 could effectively reduce serum triglyceride levels in mice. Animals: 48 male C57 mice, SPF grade, 8 weeks old, weighing approximately 20 g, were purchased from Beijing Weitong Lihua. All animals maintained a 12-h alternating circadian rhythm and had free access to food. Equipment: Animal weighing scale, fully automatic biochemical analyzer Drugs: Compound 1, positive drug GFT505 (PPARα / δ dual agonist, currently in phase 3 clinical trials for anti-NASH, preparation method see CN100548960C), positive drug fenofibrate (PPARα agonist, clinically used to treat hypertriglyceridemia, purchased from Aladdin Reagents) and positive drug pemafibrate (PPARα agonist, commercially available in Japan to treat hypertriglyceridemia, preparation method see Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 2007, 17).
[0196] Experimental procedure 1. Animal Grouping and Dosing After one week of conventional breeding, the mice were divided into five groups according to their body weight: control group, positive drug fenofibrate (30 mg / kg) group, positive drug pemafibrate (1 mg / kg) group, positive drug GFT505 (1 mg / kg) group, and compound 1 (1 mg / kg) group. The control group was administered with the solvent control CMC-Na every day, and each group was administered with the corresponding drug every day, intragastrically administered for five consecutive days, during which water and food were allowed to be consumed ad libitum. The body weight of each group was measured every day, and the body weight, hair, feces, and activity status were carefully observed and recorded. 2. Material acquisition On the fifth day of dosing, 2 hours after dosing, mice were bled via the orbit and euthanized. 3. Measurement of serum triglycerides The whole blood was left at room temperature for 2 hours, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes, and serum was collected and sent to a ServiceBio Biotechnology Co., Ltd. automated biochemistry analyzer to measure the triglyceride (TG) level in the serum. 4. Experimental Results As can be seen from the results of FIG. 1, compound 1 can significantly reduce the triglyceride level in mouse serum. The triglyceride-lowering effect of compound 1 at a dose of 1 mg / kg is significantly stronger than that of GFT505 and pemafibrate at the same dose, and is superior to fenofibrate, a common clinical lipid-lowering drug. This suggests that compound 1 can be used to prevent and treat metabolic diseases such as hypertriglyceridemia. Other compounds of the present invention also have similar effects.
[0197] Example 130 Ameliorative effect of compound 1 on α-naphthylisothiocyanate-induced cholestasis in mice Animals: 25 male C57 mice, SPF grade, 8 weeks old, weighing approximately 20 g, purchased from Beijing Weitong Lihua. All animals maintained a 12-hour alternating circadian rhythm and had free access to food. Equipment: Animal weighing scale, fully automated biochemical analyzer, inverted microscope, microtome Reagents: Compound 1, positive drug GFT505, α-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT).
[0198] Experimental procedure 1. Animal Grouping and Dosing After one week of conventional breeding, the mice were divided into five groups according to their body weight: a control group, a model group, a positive drug GFT505 (30 mg / kg) group, a low dose (0.03 mg / kg) group of Compound 1, and a high dose (0.1 mg / kg) group of Compound 1. All mice had normal intake of food and water. The modeling and administration flow is as follows: 6 hours before modeling, each group was administered with the corresponding dose and type of compound for intragastric administration, and the control group and model group were administered with an equivalent volume of solvent control. During modeling, each group was intragastricly administered with 80 mg / kg dose of ANIT, except for the control group, and the control group was administered with an equivalent volume of solvent control. Then, administration was continued once a day for 2 days. The body weight of each group of mice was measured every day, and their body weight, hair, feces, and activity were carefully observed and recorded. 2. Material acquisition 48 hours after ANIT administration and modeling, the mice were euthanized and their livers were harvested. The right lobule of the liver was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for HE staining section. The remaining liver tissue was quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen for subsequent detection of other indicators.
[0199] 3. Serological detection Whole blood was left at room temperature for 2 hours, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes, and serum was collected. Serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TBil), and total bile acids (TBA) were measured. 4. Liver Tissue Sectioning After fixing, the tissues were sent to Wuhan Servicebio Technology Co., Ltd. for HE-stained sections. 5. Detection of alkaline phosphatase in the liver The activity was measured using a tissue and blood alkaline phosphatase (AKP / ALP) activity detection kit (BC2145) purchased from Beijing Soraibo Technology Co., Ltd. The liver tissue stored at -80°C was removed and placed in liquid nitrogen, and approximately 0.1 g of liver tissue was quickly excised, thoroughly crushed with 1 mL of extraction solution, centrifuged at 4°C and 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was taken for measurement. Detection was performed according to the method in the product instructions. The data was corrected for the sample protein concentration, and the catalytic production of 1 μmol phenol per milligram of protein per minute at 37°C was defined as one enzyme activity unit.
[0200] 6. Experimental Results The results in Figure 2 show that compound 1 can effectively improve intrahepatic cholestasis caused by ANIT. In the model group, the whole liver was yellow, with a large number of bleeding spots and yellow crystalline substances, and the serum was yellowish brown. After administration of compound 1, the mouse liver recovered to a red state, with no obvious bleeding spots, and the serum was pale yellow. At a dose of 0.03 mg / kg, the improvement ability of compound 1 on the general observation of the liver and the color of the serum was equivalent to the effect of 30 mg / kg GFT505.
[0201] Figure 3 shows the results of mouse serology. As shown in the figure, compound 1 can dose-dependently significantly down-regulate serum ALT, AST, TBil and TBA levels in ANIT-induced cholestasis model mice. Serum ALP also showed a tendency to decrease to some extent. At a dose of 0.1 mg / kg, compound 1's liver enzyme lowering effect, total bilirubin lowering effect and total bile acid lowering effect were equivalent to those of 30 mg / kg GFT505, which indicated that compound 1 can effectively alleviate cholestasis and has a strong hepatoprotective effect.
[0202] Figure 4 shows the detection of ALP levels in mouse liver. Because the increase in serum ALP was small in the ANIT model, the level of ALP in liver tissue was also detected. As shown in Figure 4, compound 1 could significantly down-regulate the level of intrahepatic ALP. Note that the intrahepatic ALP-lowering effect of compound 1 at two doses was slightly better than that of 30 mg / kg GFT505. In addition, the anti-cholestatic effect of compound 1 was evaluated by pathological study means. As shown by HE staining (FIG. 5), compound 1 could dose-dependently reduce the number and area of intrahepatic necrotic regions, suggesting that compound 1 has a good effect on liver damage.
[0203] In summary, it was suggested that compound 1 has a strong therapeutic effect on the mouse cholestasis model, that compound 1 has a therapeutic effect on cholestasis liver disease, and can be used to prepare a preventive and therapeutic drug for cholestasis liver disease such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Other compounds of the present invention also have similar effects.

The control group was administered control feed (TP36225 MCS), and the remaining groups were administered modeling feed (TP36225 MCD). All mice were allowed to drink water normally and were modeled for 6 weeks. 2. Administration After 4 weeks of modeling, the positive drug GFT505 group was intragastrically administered with GFT505 at 10 mg / kg every day, the compound 1 group was intragastrically administered with compound 1 at 0.1 mg / kg every day, and the control group and model group were intragastrically administered with an equivalent volume of control solvent every day.

The weight of each group of mice was measured every day, and their weight, hair, feces and activity were carefully observed and recorded.
[0206] 3. Material acquisition After 2 weeks of administration, the mice were fasted for 6 hours without water restriction, blood was collected from the orbit, and the mice were euthanized to collect the liver. The right lobule of the liver was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for HE and oil red staining sections. A portion of the liver tissue was divided into two and quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen in preparation for the detection of other indicators. 4. Measurement of Biochemical Indicators The whole blood was left at room temperature for 2 hours, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes, and serum was collected. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum were measured using an automated biochemistry analyzer. 5. Liver Tissue Sectioning After fixing, the tissue was sent to Wuhan Servicebio Technology Co., Ltd. for HE-stained sections, picrosirius red-stained sections, and oil red-stained sections.
[0207] 6. Liver Tissue RNA Extraction and q-PCR Detection The liver tissue stored at -80°C was removed and placed in liquid nitrogen, and about 10 mg of liver tissue was quickly excised, and about 500 μL of pre-cooled RNA extraction reagent (Nanjing Nuo Weizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. R401-01) was added, and homogenized with a tissue homogenizer. The precipitated RNA was extracted according to the method in the product manual. The solid RNA was dissolved in an appropriate amount of DEPC-treated water. The RNA concentration was quantified using NanoDrop, and the Nuo Weizan company's reverse transcription reagent was added according to the manual, and the mRNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA using a general PCR device. Finally, the upstream and downstream primers of the target gene, q-PCR reagent (SYBR Green), and cDNA were added to a 96-well plate dedicated to q-PCR, and amplified and quantified using a q-PCR device. The ΔΔ value was used to characterize the difference in gene expression, and data processing and statistical testing were performed using related software. 7. Extraction and Detection of Liver Tissue Triglycerides The liver tissue stored at -80°C was removed and placed in liquid nitrogen, and approximately 10 mg of liver tissue was quickly excised, 300 μL of methanol was added, and the tissue was homogenized and dissolved. An additional 600 μL of chloroform was added, and the tissue was shaken overnight at room temperature to extract the lipid-soluble substances in the tissue. The tissue was centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was collected. The measurements were performed according to the Japan WAKO Triglyceride Detection Kit (290-63701), and the final results were corrected to milligrams of triglyceride per gram of liver tissue.
[0208] 8. Experimental Results The results in Figure 6 show that compound 1 at a dose of 0.1 mg / kg down-regulates the serum ALT and AST levels of NASH model mice. Note that compound 1 at 0.1 mg / kg has a slightly better liver enzyme lowering effect than GFT505 at 10 mg / kg, which indicates that compound 1 has a very strong liver protective effect in NASH model.
[0209] The anti-NASH effect of compound 1 was observed by pathological study means. As shown by the results of HE staining (Figure 7), compound 1 could reduce the occurrence of inflammatory infiltration in the liver lobule of mice. As shown by the results of Picrosirius Red staining (Figure 8), compound 1 could reduce collagen deposition in the liver of mice. As shown by the results of Oil Red staining (Figure 9), compound 1 could reduce the number and area of lipid droplets in the liver of mice. In particular, compound 1 at a dose of 0.1 mg / kg was superior to GFT505 at 10 mg / kg in reducing lipid accumulation.
[0210] Figure 10 is the detection of triglyceride content in mouse liver. The results show that compound 1 can reduce the triglyceride accumulation in liver tissue induced by HF-CDAA modeling. Compound 1 at a dose of 0.1 mg / kg has a better reducing effect on hepatic triglyceride than GFT505 at 10 mg / kg.
[0211] To further detect the effect of compound 1 in reducing liver inflammation and fibrosis in NASH model mice, the mRNA expression status of related inflammatory factors and fibrosis-related cytokines in liver tissue was measured (see Table 7 for gene primer sequences).The experimental results are shown in Figures 11 and 12. [Table 7]
[0212] The results in Figure 11 show that compound 1 can suppress the increase in the mRNA levels of Tnf, Ccl2, Ccl5 and Cd11b induced by HF-CDAA, which indicates that compound 1 has a strong anti-inflammatory effect in the NASH model. The results in Figure 12 show that compound 1 can suppress the increase in the mRNA levels of Acta2, Tgfb1, Col1a1 and Col3a1 induced by HF-CDAA, which indicates that compound 1 has an anti-fibrotic effect in the NASH model.
[0213] As can be seen from the above results, compound 1 can significantly improve the pathological condition of NASH mice at a dose of 0.1 mg / kg, reduce liver enzyme levels, and inhibit the occurrence and progression of liver inflammation and fibrosis, and has a therapeutic effect equivalent to that of GFT505 at a dose of 10 mg / kg. The effect of 0.1 mg / kg of the compound is superior to that of GFT505 at 10 mg / kg in reducing liver lipid accumulation. It has been suggested that compound 1 has a therapeutic effect on fatty liver disease such as NASH, and can be used to prepare preventive and therapeutic drugs for chronic liver diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), metabolic fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and alcoholic fatty liver disease (ALD). Other compounds of the present invention also have similar effects.
[0214] Example 132 Compound 1 ameliorates carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic fibrosis in mice model Animals: Thirty male C57 mice, SPF grade, 8 weeks old, weighing approximately 20 g, were purchased from Beijing Weitong Lihua. All animals maintained a 12-hour alternating circadian rhythm and had free access to food. Equipment: Animal weighing scale, microtome, fully automated biochemical analyzer, inverted microscope Reagents: Compound 1, positive control GFT505, carbon tetrachloride (purchased from Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.), sunflower oil (purchased from Shanghai Yuanye Biological Technology Co., Ltd.).
[0215] Testing Procedure: 1. Animal grouping and modeling After one week of conventional breeding, the mice were randomly divided into five groups according to their body weight: control group (Oil), model group (CCl4), positive drug GFT505 (10 mg / kg) group (CCl4+GFT505), low dose (0.03 mg / kg) group of compound 1 (CCl4+1 low dose), and high dose (0.1 mg / kg) group of compound 1 (CCl4+1 high dose). The mice were given food and water normally, and the model was constructed for three weeks. The model group and each treatment group were injected with 25% CCl4 oil solution at a dose of 2 mL / kg twice a week, and the control group was injected with the same volume of oil solvent. 2. Administration Administration was started at the same time as modeling, and the CCl4+GFT505 group was intragastrically administered with GFT505 (10 mg / kg) every day, the CCl4+1 low dose group was intragastrically administered with compound 1 (0.03 mg / kg) every day, the CCl4+1 high dose group was intragastrically administered with compound 1 (0.1 mg / kg) every day, and the control group and model group were intragastrically administered with the same volume of control solvent every day. All mice administered for 3 weeks were able to normally consume food and water. The weight of each group of mice was measured every day, and their weight, hair, feces, and activity were carefully observed and recorded. 3. Material acquisition 24 hours after the sixth injection of CCl4, the animals were dissected to obtain materials. Blood was taken from the orbit, and the animals were euthanized to harvest the liver. The right lobule of the liver was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for HE and picrosirius red staining sections. A portion of the liver tissue was divided into three parts and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen in preparation for subsequent detection of other indicators. 4. Liver Tissue Sectioning The pretreated tissues were sent to Wuhan Servicebio Technology Co., Ltd. for HE-stained and picrosirius red-stained sections. 5. Detection of hydroxyproline in liver tissue. The liver tissue stored at -80°C was removed and placed in liquid nitrogen, and approximately 200 mg of liver tissue was quickly excised. Hydroxyproline in the liver tissue was detected according to the method in the product manual (Beijing Soraibao Technology Co., Ltd., BC0255).
[0216] 6. Experimental Results The results in FIG. 13 showed that carbon tetrachloride modeling could significantly increase the hydroxyproline content in the liver, while administration of compound 1 could dose-dependently decrease the hydroxyproline content in the liver of the model mice, and the effect of compound 1 at a dose of 0.1 mg / kg was superior to that of GFT505 at 30 mg / kg.
[0217] The anti-hepatic fibrosis effect of compound 1 was observed by pathological study means. Compound 1 could reduce inflammatory infiltration in mouse liver as shown by HE staining results (Figure 14). Compound 1 could significantly reduce collagen deposition in mouse liver as shown by picrosirius red staining results (Figure 15). Compound 1 at a dose of 0.1 mg / kg was more effective than GFT505 at 10 mg / kg in improving collagen deposition in mouse liver.
[0218] In summary, it has been shown that compound 1 has a protective effect on liver fibrosis mouse models, compound 1 has a therapeutic effect on liver fibrosis-related diseases, and can be used to prepare preventive and therapeutic drugs for liver fibrosis-related diseases and liver cirrhosis, etc. Other compounds of the present invention also have similar effects.
[0219] Example 133 Co-crystal structure of compound 1 in complex with PPARδ protein A plasmid expressing a protein containing the PPARδ-LBD region (reference: Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 2022, 65, 2571-2592) was transformed into E. coli BL21, and after culture amplification, IPTG was added at 4 ° C to induce protein expression. After dissolving E. coli, the supernatant was collected and purified by a nickel column. The purified protein was dissolved in a solution containing 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl and 10% glycerol at pH 8.0. A DMSO solution of compound 1 at a final concentration of 2 mM was added to the protein solution at a concentration of 7 mg / mL. Complex cocrystals of compound 1 and PPARδ protein were grown at 16 ° C, and the crystallization solvent was a mixed solvent containing 0.5 M sodium citrate, 19% PEG3350 and 20% glycerol at pH 5.5. The crystals were quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen and later used for data collection. X-ray diffraction data were collected at beamline BL02U of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility by the X-ray crystallography facility platform of National Protein Research Facility Base (Tsinghua University). The data were processed by HKL2000 and solved by molecular replacement using the Phenix program, and the search model was PDB code 3SP9. Modeling and refinement were performed using coot software and PHENIX software. The experimental results are shown in Figure 16. As can be seen from the results, the binding pattern of compound 1 and PPARδ protein is similar to the endogenous ligand fatty acid, and the carboxylic acid moiety of compound 1 had hydrogen bond interactions with His323, His449 and Tyr473 of the protein. Unlike other small molecule ligands, the hydantoin ring moiety of compound 1 could form hydrogen bond interactions with Cys285, Thr289 and Thr292 of PPARδ protein through multiple ``water molecular bridges'', respectively. Such specific agonist interaction with PPARδ protein may be an important reason for compound 1's strong agonist activity and high selectivity.
