Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing a compound represented by the following general formula (I) or a salt thereof, which has a KDM5 inhibitory activity. [Background technology]

[0002] Eukaryotic DNA resides in the cell nucleus in the form of chromatin, a complex with histone proteins. Histone proteins undergo modifications such as methylation, acetylation, and phosphorylation by various enzymes, and these modifications are known to induce chromatin reorganization and transcriptional changes. Epigenetic modifications, including histone methylation, reversibly regulate gene expression without altering the nucleic acid sequence and play an important role in physiological processes.

[0003] KDM5 proteins belong to the JARID histone demethylase family and demethylate the trimethylated lysine 4 residue of histone H3 (H3K4me3). Mammals, including humans, have four subfamily members: KDM5A, KDM5B, KDM5C, and KDM5D. Each subfamily contains five conserved domains: JmjN, ARID, JmjC, PHDs, and the C5HC2 zinc finger. The KDM5 family is widely distributed in blood cells and various organs in the body, and is particularly highly expressed in cancer tissues. Epigenetic abnormalities in cancer cells are known to contribute to their proliferation and metastasis, and KDM5 inhibitors have been reported to be effective against cancer cells. The involvement of epigenetic abnormalities, including histone modifications, has also been reported in other pathological fields, such as neuropsychiatric and metabolic disorders. Therefore, compounds with KDM5 inhibitory activity may be useful for ameliorating epigenetic abnormalities and preventing and treating these diseases.

[0004] As a related art of the present invention, WO 2016 / 057924 reports that the compound of formula (A) is useful as an inhibitor of one or more demethylases such as KDM5.

The evaluation was performed in a dark room, with the light intensity adjusted to approximately 20 lux near the experimental apparatus. To allow the animals to acclimate to the evaluation environment, the mice were moved to the evaluation room at least one hour before the start of the test. This test was conducted over three days. On the first day, for acclimatization to the experimental apparatus, the mice were placed in a cage and allowed to move freely for 10 minutes. On the second day, for the acquisition trial, two identical objects (familiar objects) were placed on the cage in the same manner for 10 minutes. The two objects were placed apart on a line parallel to the long side of the cage. The distance between the object and the two adjacent inner walls is 10 cm. In the test trial on the third day, one of the objects used in the acquisition trial is replaced with a new object of a different color and shape, and the animal is allowed to behave in the same way for 10 minutes. The test trial begins 24 hours after the acquisition trial (acceptable range: 23 to 25 hours). The exploration time for each object is measured from the video images recorded in the test trial. The total exploration time and novel object recognition rate are calculated from the exploration times for the familiar and novel objects using the following formula:

[0191] MCF-7, T47D, and MBA-MB231 human breast cancer cells are purchased from ATCC after authentication. Cells are cultured for a maximum of 10–12 passages and then replaced with earlier-passage cells stored in liquid nitrogen since purchase. Cells are grown adherently in high-glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 1% penicillin / streptomycin, 2 mM L-glutamine, and 10% inactivated fetal bovine serum. Cells are maintained in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. They are passaged periodically by removing the DMEM, washing with PBS, and detaching the cells with an appropriate amount of trypsin / EDTA.

[0192] For clonogenicity testing, cells were exposed to X-rays using an MLG300 / 6-D instrument (Gilardoni) set at 200 V and 6 mA to achieve an equivalent absorbed dose of 1 cGy / s 1 h after treatment. Cells were then harvested, counted, and diluted in growth medium containing the compound. An appropriate number of cells was seeded in quadruplicate, depending on the doubling time of the cell line and the radiation dose. 24 h after seeding, the compound-supplemented medium was replaced with fresh DMEM, and the cells were cultured for 14 days (sufficient time for at least six cell divisions). After this growth period, the cells were washed twice with PBS, then fixed and stained with an appropriate volume of a solution consisting of 0.3% methylene blue and 80% ethanol at room temperature for 30 minutes. After washing the cells twice with dd water, the plates were imaged colorimetrically using a ChemiDoc XRS+ imaging system (Bio-Rad). Radiation dose-response curves for DMSO and compound samples to X-rays were calculated using the survival rates. The plating efficiency and survival rate are calculated as follows: Plating efficiency = number of counted colonies / number of seeded cells Viability = plating efficiency / plating efficiency of mock sample

[0193] For cytotoxicity testing, Cell Counting Kit-8 (#CK04, DOJINDO) was used according to the manufacturer's instructions. MCF-7T47D or MDA-MB231 cell suspensions (5000 cells / 100 μL / well) were dispensed into 96-well plates. After 24 hours, compounds or DMSO were added to the growth medium and the cells were irradiated. 48 hours after irradiation, 10 μL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate and the cells were again cultured for 1 hour. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a VICTOR2 1420 reader (Perkin Elmer).

[0194] An example of a test method for evaluating the pharmacological activity of the present compounds includes a test using primary cultured human hepatocytes (PHH) for the inhibition of hepatitis B virus antigen (HbsAg). For example, the effectiveness of the present compounds in a PHH assay can be evaluated using the following method.

[0195] Primary cultured human hepatocytes (PHH) (Bioreclaimation IVT) are seeded onto collagen-coated flasks using plating medium (Life Technologies) containing William's Medium E supplemented with 1% penicillin / streptomycin, 4 pg / mL human recombinant insulin, 2 mM GlutaMAX, 15 mM HEPES, 1 µM dexamethasone, 5% fetal bovine serum, and 0.2% antibiotic mixture. After 4 hours of incubation at 37°C, cells were switched to maintenance medium (Life Technologies) containing William's medium E supplemented with 0.5% penicillin / streptomycin, 6.25 pg / mL human recombinant insulin, 6.25 pg / mL human transferrin, 6.25 ng / mL selenite, 1.25 mg / mL bovine serum albumin, 5.35 pg / mL linoleic acid, 2 mM GlutaMAX, 15 mM HEPES, 0.1 µM dexamethasone, 2% fetal bovine serum, 2% DMSO, and 0.2% antibiotic mixture. The next day, PHHs were infected with genotype D (AD38-derived) HBV at 500 genome equivalents per cell in maintenance medium supplemented with 4% PEG8000 (Promega). After 24 hours of incubation, cells were washed three times with William's medium E and fresh maintenance medium was added. Three days after infection, infected PHH cells were seeded at a concentration of 65,000 cells / well into collagen-precoated 96-well plates in a final volume of 125 μl of maintenance medium (Life Technologies) containing serially diluted compounds or DMSO (final concentration 1%). Compound-containing medium was replenished every 2 to 3 days. After 12 days of culture, HBsAg secreted into the supernatant was measured using a multiplex chemiluminescence (Mesoscale discovery, MSD) assay using an HBsAg-specific capture and detection antibody pair. EC50 values ​​were calculated by fitting the dose-response curve to a four-parameter equation.

[0196] An example of the test method for evaluating the pharmacological activity of the present compound is the evaluation system for improving depressive symptoms in a social defeat stress model.For example, the effectiveness of the present compound in a social defeat model can be evaluated using the following method.

[0197] Eight-week-old male DBA / 2 mice were used in the experiment. Social defeat stress was administered to the mice. The test mice were placed in a cage with highly aggressive CD-1 mice for five minutes. During this time, the CD-1 mice unilaterally attacked the test mice (physical stress). After five minutes, the CD-1 mice and the test mice were separated by a transparent acrylic board and maintained for 24 hours (psychological stress). This process was repeated for five consecutive days. Compounds or solvents were orally administered two hours before social defeat stress every day. Afterwards, social interaction tests and sucrose preference tests were performed.

[0198] In the social interaction test, a CD-1 mouse was placed in a 42 cm square box (target area) as a novel mouse. A test mouse (DBA / 2 mouse) was placed in the box, and the time spent in the target area for 3 minutes was measured using a video tracking system (Any-Maze software). Depressed animals showed reduced contact time with the novel mouse.

[0199] In the sucrose preference test, a bottle containing a 1% sucrose solution and regular water is given simultaneously. The amount of sucrose solution and regular water consumed over a 4-hour period is measured, and the percentage of sucrose water consumed (sucrose preference) is used as an index of anhedonia. Animals normally prefer sweet sucrose, but in animals in an anhedonic state, which is a state of depression, sucrose preference is reduced.
