Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention claims priority to a Chinese patent application bearing application number 2022103445529 and title "1,4-diheterocyclyl-substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic ring compounds and their uses" filed with the China Patent Office on March 31, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of chemoprevention, specifically to 1,4-diheterocyclyl-substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic ring compounds and their uses. [Background technology]
[0003] 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) is a metabolite of arachidonic acid produced by enzymes of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 4A and 4F families. Cyp4a12 is the main enzyme producing 20-HETE in mice, while the enzymes that produce 20-HETE in rats include Cyp4a1, Cyp4a2, and Cyp4a3. The main enzymes that produce 20-HETE in humans are CYP4A11 and CYP4F2 (PNAS 2017, 114-3181-3185; Onco Targets Ther. 2013; 6: 243-255; Hypertension. 2008;51:1393-1398).
[0004] 20-HETE can promote vascular smooth muscle contraction, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and cell proliferation (Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens 26: 74-82, 2017). Several studies have demonstrated that 20-HETE expression levels are significantly elevated in various diseases, including hypertension, stroke, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, acute renal failure, chronic kidney disease, polycystic kidney disease, tumor growth and metastasis, and end-organ damage and fibrosis (J Lipid Res 54: 786-793, 2013, Pharmacol Ther 125: 446-463, 2010).
[0005] 20-HETE also plays an important role in the development and progression of obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Preclinical animal models have shown a correlation between 20-HETE levels and weight gain, as well as metabolic syndrome (hyperglycemia, diabetes, diabetes-related retinopathy, and nephropathy) [Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 302(5):E500-9, 2012., Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 315(5):R934-r44, 2018.] Clinical studies have shown that urinary and plasma 20-HETE levels are related to body mass index (BMI) and are elevated in patients with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome (Other Lipid Mediat 100-101:15-21, 2013., Prostaglandins Other Lipid Mediat 123:68-77, 2016. Free Radic Biol Med 46(2):263-70, 2009.).
[0006] In 2017, Garcia et al. discovered that GPR75 is a 20-HETE receptor and reported a proximal signaling mechanism for 20-HETE that causes hypertension and vascular dysfunction (Circ Res 2017; 120:1776-1788). Approximately 650,000 individuals were sequenced to identify individuals with rare protective mutations. Individuals with at least one inactive copy of the G protein-coupled receptor 75 (GPR75) gene had a lower body mass index (BMI), weighed approximately 12 pounds less than individuals without the mutation, had a 54% lower risk of obesity, and showed improved diabetes parameters, including lower blood glucose levels.
[0007] In a high-fat diet model, knocking out the GPR75 gene in mice conferred resistance to weight gain and improved blood glucose control. Inhibiting GPR75 may offer a therapeutic strategy for obesity (Science 373, eabf8683, 2021).
[0008] Given the important role of the 20-HETE / GPR75 pathway in the development and progression of these diseases, 20-HETE ligand generation inhibitors or GPR75 receptor antagonists may be potential treatment options for various metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes. HET0016 is a highly active and selective 20-HETE inhibitor with a 20-HETE inhibitory activity of 8.9 nM, without affecting the activity of other arachidonic acid metabolic pathways, such as cyclooxygenase and epoxygenase. However, its low solubility and short half-life have prevented it from entering clinical development (Drug Metabolism & Disposition 36: 2324-2330, 2008). Recently, 20-SOLA, which has better water solubility, has been used as a 20-HETE antagonist in animal studies as a tool drug for the treatment of related diseases. 20-SOLA can normalize blood pressure in Cyp4a14- / - hypertensive mice (J Pharmacol Exp Ther 363: 412-418, 2017.), and also reduces high-fat diet-induced weight gain and improves hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia in Cyp4a14- / - mice (Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol. 315: 934-944, 2018). Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] Although 20-HETE is associated with the onset and progression of various diseases, there are currently no effective 20-HETE inhibitors in clinical trials. In response to this, the present invention provides 1,4-diheterocyclyl-substituted aromatic or aromatic heterocyclic compounds that can effectively inhibit the production of 20-HETE and have high activity, high selectivity, and favorable pharmacokinetic properties, and can treat various diseases associated with 20-HETE by inhibiting the production of 20-HETE.

[0049] In the compounds described herein, when any variable (e.g., R) occurs more than once in any constituent, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Similarly, combinations of substituents and variables are permissible so long as the compound is stable. Lines drawn from substituents to ring systems indicate that the indicated bond may be attached to any substitutable ring atom. If the ring system is polycyclic, it is intended that such bonds be attached only to any suitable carbon atom adjacent to the ring. It will be understood that those skilled in the art will be able to select substituents and substitution patterns for the compounds of the present invention to provide compounds that are chemically stable and can be easily synthesized from readily available starting materials using techniques in the art and the methods described below. When a substituent is itself substituted with multiple groups, it is understood that these groups may be on the same or different carbon atoms as long as the structure is stable.
[0050] As used herein, the term "alkyl" is intended to include both branched and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having the specified number of carbon atoms. For example, the definition of "C1-C6" in "C1-C6 alkyl" is intended to include groups having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 carbon atoms arranged in a straight or branched chain. For example, "C1-C6 alkyl" specifically includes methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, tert-butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, and hexyl.

[0058] The present invention includes the free form of compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II), as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers thereof. The term "free form" refers to an amine-based compound in non-salt form. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts encompassed include not only the exemplary salts of the specific compounds described herein, but also all representative pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the free form of compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (II). The free form of a specific salt of the compound can be isolated using techniques known in the art. For example, the free form can be regenerated by treating the salt with a suitable dilute aqueous alkali solution, such as dilute aqueous NaOH, potassium carbonate, ammonia, or sodium bicarbonate. While the free forms differ somewhat from their respective salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, such acid and alkali salts are otherwise pharmaceutically equivalent to their respective free forms for purposes of the present invention.
[0059] The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from the compounds of the present invention containing an alkaline or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Typically, salts of alkaline compounds are prepared by ion exchange chromatography or by reacting the free alkali with a stoichiometric amount or excess of the desired salt form of an inorganic or organic acid in a suitable solvent or solvent combination. Similarly, salts of acidic compounds are formed by reaction with a suitable inorganic or organic alkali.
[0060] Thus, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include conventional non-toxic salts of the compounds of this invention formed by reaction of an alkaline compound of this invention with an inorganic or organic acid. For example, conventional non-toxic salts include salts derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and the like, as well as salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, succinic acid, glycolic acid, stearic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, pamoic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, phenylacetic acid, glutamic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, 2-acetyloxybenzoic acid, fumaric acid, toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, oxalic acid, isethionic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, and the like.
[0061] When the compound of the present invention is acidic, a suitable "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt prepared from a pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic alkali, including inorganic alkali and organic alkali. Salts prepared from inorganic alkali include aluminum salts, ammonium salts, calcium salts, copper salts, iron salts, ferrous salts, lithium salts, magnesium salts, manganese salts, manganous salts, potassium salts, sodium salts, zinc salts, etc. Ammonium salts, calcium salts, magnesium salts, potassium salts, and sodium salts are particularly preferred. In salts derived from pharmaceutically acceptable organic non-toxic alkalis, the alkalis include primary amines, secondary amines, and tertiary amines, and substituted amines include naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, and alkaline ion exchange resins, such as arginine, betaine, caffeine, choline, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, diethylamine, 2-diethylaminoethanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, aminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-ethylmorpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, glucosamine, histidine, hydroxocobalamin, isopropylamine, lysine, methylglucosamine, morpholine, piperidine, acridine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tripropylamine, tromethamine, and the like.
[0062] Berg et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," J. Pharm. Sci. '77:66:1-19, describes in more detail the preparation of these and other exemplary pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0063] Under physiological conditions, deprotonated acidic moieties such as carboxy in the compounds can become anionic; this charge can be counterbalanced by protonated or alkylated alkaline moieties such as tetravalent nitrogen atoms bearing an internal cation, resulting in the compounds of the invention being potential internal salts or zwitterions.
