Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medicine, and more specifically, to semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase inhibitors.

Background Art

[0002] Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) is an amine oxidase containing a dopamine quinone group, belonging to the semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase family, and is also called vascular adhesion protein-1, VAP-1. In the animal body, it is mainly encoded by the AOC3 gene. The SSAO content in mammalian smooth muscle cells, adipocytes, and endothelial cells is relatively rich, and it is also expressed in various organs such as the vascular system, cartilage, and kidney. In mammals, SSAO can be divided into two types: membrane-bound and soluble. The enzyme activity varies greatly among different species and different tissues of the same species. SSAO catalyzes the metabolism of endogenous or dietary amines to aldehydes, accompanied by the production of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia.

[0003] The natural metabolic substrates in the body are mainly aliphatic amines and aromatic amines. Here, methylamine (MA) and aminoacetone are recognized as physiological substrates of SSAO, and are catalyzed to formaldehyde and pyruvaldehyde respectively. In endothelial cells, SSAO exists in the form of vascular adhesion protein-1 and mediates the process of adhesion and infiltration between leukocytes and endothelial cells.

[0004] According to a large number of studies, SSAO and its metabolites have been confirmed to be closely related to inflammation-related diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and its complications, obesity, stroke, chronic kidney disease, retinopathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, pain caused by arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease. SSAO / VAP-1 plays an important role in cancer biology, and it has been reported that small molecule inhibitors of SSAO / VAP-1 can affect the number of bone marrow cells of angiogenesis factors in melanoma and lymphoma. According to recent studies, it has been suggested that abnormal functions of SSAO play a role in the occurrence and development of liver diseases such as fatty liver. Fatty liver disease accompanied by inflammation develops into non-alcoholic fatty liver after progression, and a certain proportion of patients will further develop liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer after a certain period.

[0005] Considering that the function of SSAO plays an important role in the pathological processes of various inflammation-related diseases, finding effective inhibitors has very important value and significance for controlling diseases caused by abnormal SSAO.

In this method, recombinant human SSAO protein or mouse SSAO protein or rat SSAO protein (provided by Eli Lilly and Company) is used. The enzyme activity detection kit MAO-Glo assay kit (V1402) was purchased from Promega Corporation. Prepare an enzyme reaction buffer (50 mM HEPES, 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl 2 , 1.4 mM MgCl 2 , 0.001% Tween-20, pH 7.4). Dissolve the test compound in DMSO and dilute it with a 3-fold concentration gradient. When detecting SSAO, the final concentration of the test compound in a 10 μl reaction system is 1 μM to 0.05 nM. The content of DMSO in the detection reaction is 1%. After diluting the DMSO solution of the test compound with the enzyme reaction buffer at a volume ratio of 1:25, add 2.5 μl to each well of the detection plate, and add two duplicate wells for each concentration. Add SSAO protein diluted with 5 μl of the enzyme reaction buffer to each well, and the final concentration in a 10 μl reaction system is 10 nM to 80 nM. Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes. Add 2.5 μl of the reaction substrate diluted with 5 μl of the enzyme reaction buffer to each well, and the final concentration in a 10 μl reaction system is 10 μM. After reacting at room temperature for 120 minutes, add 10 μl of the detection reagent to each well. Incubate at room temperature for 20 minutes, and read and detect with a Synergy Neo 2 plate. The numerical value is converted to an inhibition rate according to the following formula.

[0073] Inhibition rate = (Signal positive - Signal test ) / (Signal positive - Signal negative ) × 100% Signal positive is the positive control without the detection compound, Signal negative is the negative control without the detection compound and SSAO, Signal testThese are the detected values of the concentrations of various compounds.

The test compound is dissolved in DMSO and diluted with a three-fold concentration gradient. When detecting AOC1, the final concentration of the test compound in a 10 μl reaction system is 100 μM to 5 nM. The content of DMSO in the detection reaction is 1%. After diluting the DMSO solution of the test compound with the enzyme reaction buffer at a volume ratio of 1:25, 10 μl is added to each well of the detection plate. Prepare a 4× substrate mixture with the enzyme reaction buffer (containing 400 μM putrescine, 4 U / ml HRP, and 4 μM Amplex UltraRed), and add 10 μl to each well. Add 20 μl of AOC1 protein diluted with the enzyme reaction buffer to each well, and the final concentration in a 40 μl reaction system is 0.4 nM.

Calculate the enzyme activity with the increased values from the 10th minute to the 30th minute for each well. The numerical value is converted to the inhibition rate with the following formula for the detection value.

[0076] Inhibition rate = (Signal positive − Signal test ) / (Signal positive − Signal negative ) × 100% Signal positive is the positive control without the detection compound, Signal negative is the negative control without the detection compound and AOC1, and Signal test is the detection value for each concentration of various compounds. Fit a four-parameter curve to calculate the IC 50 data. For compounds with an inhibition rate less than 50% within the test range of the compound, the IC 50 value is reported to be higher than the highest test concentration.

[0080] Biological Test Example 5: Detection of Compounds that Inhibit SSAO / VAP-1 Enzyme Activity in Mouse / Rat Models The MAO-Glo kit (Promega, V1402) is used to measure the activity of SSAO in animal tissues. After administering the test compound to the animals, the SSAO enzyme activity is calculated by measuring the activity of monoamine oxidase in an animal tissue homogenate that is not sensitive to the MAO inhibitors Clogyline and Pargyline. At different target administration concentrations, the compounds of the present invention are orally administered to rats, and the same volume of vehicle is orally administered to the animals in the control group. Tissues of the animals' plasma, brain, retina, small intestine, lung, liver, and kidney are collected respectively 24 hours after administration (before collecting the small intestine, lung, liver, and kidney, the animals are perfused systemically with PBS), and stored in a -80 °C refrigerator until removed for analysis. Each tissue portion is homogenized with a tissue homogenate lysate (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% Triton X-100, and 1x Roche Complete protease inhibitor tablet). The homogenized tissue fluid is centrifuged at 12,000 rpm at 4 °C for 30 minutes to remove tissue debris.

[0081] A mixture of 5 μl of the supernatant and 2 μl of Clogyline (10 μM) and Pargyline (10 μM) is co-incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes, then 2 μl of the substrate is added to the MAO-Glo detection kit and reacted at room temperature for 60 minutes. According to the kit instructions, the detection reagent is added to stop the reaction. Biotek NeO 2 Read the fluorescein data with a Biotek Neo Analyzer. The monoamine oxidase activity in tissues not sensitive to the MAO inhibitor represents the activity of SSAO. The inhibition rate of the compound is calculated by comparing the SSAO activity of the administered animals with the percentage of the activity of the animals in the control group.

[0082] The detection results show that the compounds of the present invention can effectively inhibit the activity of SSAO in different tissues in the animal body after administration. The results are shown in Tables 2 and 3.

[0083] Table 2. Percentage of remaining SSAO activity 24 hours after single administration of the compound (SSAO activity (%)) [Table 9] The data in the table are presented as mean ± SEM, with N = 3.

[0085] Biological Test Example 6: Pharmacodynamic study of SSAO compounds in an eye inflammation-related disease model Twenty-two rats (7 - 8 weeks old, 220 - 250 g) are divided into three groups: a control group (6 rats), a model group (8 rats), and an administration group (8 rats). For the model group and the administration group, a single footpad injection of 8 μg / 100 μl lipopolysaccharide (Sigma - Aldrich - L 2 880) is used to induce eye inflammation. One hour before induction, the rats are grouped according to body weight, and the compound of Example 4 (6 mg / kg, 10 ml / kg) or vehicle (10 ml / kg) is orally administered respectively. Twenty-four hours after induction, aqueous humor is collected, the eyeballs are enucleated and the retinas are separated, and the protein concentration and cell count in the aqueous humor are detected to quantitatively evaluate eye inflammation, and the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) method is used to verify the changes in the expression of inflammation-related genes in the retina of the eye.

[0086] Method for measuring the cell amount and protein concentration in aqueous humor: After diluting and mixing 10 μl of aqueous humor with 40 μl of PBS, 25 μl is mixed with 75 μl of PBS and centrifuged at 300 g for 5 minutes at 4°C. According to the method described in the Protein Detection Kit (BCA Protein Assay Kit, Pierce - 23227), 55 μl of the supernatant is carefully aspirated to measure the protein concentration. After resuspending the remaining sample, 40 μl of the cell suspension is taken. 100 μl of 1% FBS / PBS is added, and after removing cell debris with a NovoCyte 3130 flow cytometer, the remaining viable cells are analyzed and counted.

[0087] Compared with the control group, the total protein concentration in the aqueous humor of the model group was significantly higher (mean ± SEM: 9730.04 ± 1232.30 μg / ml vs. 3147.42 ± 404.79 μg / ml), and the cell number was significantly increased (mean ± SEM: 48.28 ± 21.46 cells * 10^4 / ml vs. 2.69 ± 0.45 cells * 10^4 / ml), indicating the successful induction of an eye inflammatory disease model.

[0088] Compared with the model group, the protein concentration in the administration group was decreased (mean ± SEM: 7275.44 ± 622.66 vs. 9730.04 ± 1232.30 μg / ml), and the cell number was significantly decreased (mean ± SEM: 5.07 ± 0.80 cells * 10^4 / ml vs. 48.28 ± 21.46 cells * 10^4 / ml), indicating that Example 4 of the compound can significantly reduce the symptoms of eye inflammation-related diseases. As shown in Figure 1, Example 4 can significantly alleviate the eye inflammation-related symptoms in a rat LPS-induced inflammatory disease model. Figure 1A shows the change in protein concentration (μg / ml) in the aqueous humor, and Figure 1B shows the change in cell number (*10^4 / ml) in the aqueous humor.

[0089] Measurement of the expression level of inflammation-related genes in the retina of the eye:

[0090] 1) Primers were synthesized, and the information is as follows.

Table 11

[0091] Compared with the control group, the gene expression levels of ALOX5AP, SOCS3, and TLR7 in the model group are significantly increased. As shown in Figure 2, compared with the model group, the gene expression levels of ALOX5AP, SOCS3, and TLR7 in the administration group are significantly decreased. After analysis, the gene expressions of ALOX5AP, SOCS3, and TLR7 are all regulated by the NFkB signaling pathway, and the NFkB signaling pathway is a very important molecular signaling pathway in inflammatory diseases.

[0092] Example 4 in Figure 2 can significantly reduce the expression levels of A. ALOX5AP, B. SOCS3, and C. TLR7, which are inflammation-related genes in the retina in a rat LPS-induced inflammatory disease model.
