Description

Detailed description of the invention

[0001] This application claims priority to a prior application filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on April 29, 2022, patent application number 202210476508.3, with the title of the invention "Compounds Having Anti-Androgen Receptor Activity and Uses Thereof." The aforementioned prior application is incorporated into this application by reference in its entirety.

[0002] [Technical Field] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology and specifically relates to compounds having anti-androgen receptor activity and their use.

[0003] [Background technology] The androgen receptor (AR) is a member of the ligand-related transcription factor family, which is also known as the steroid receptor superfamily. The androgen receptor is a steroid hormone receptor that has a ligand-binding domain, a DNA-binding domain, and multiple phosphorylation sites. After binding to the ligand androgen in the body, AR forms an AR dimer, is further phosphorylated, and translocates from the cytoplasm to the cell nucleus, where it mediates the transcription and activation of various pathways.

[0004] AR is widely distributed in many parts and organs of the human body and plays an important role in the progression of many androgen-related diseases, such as cancer, alopecia, and acne.

[0005] Androgens and ARs have been reported in the literature to play important roles in the normal growth of the prostate and prostate cancer, and anti-androgen drugs are already widely used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Furthermore, high serum androgen levels are associated with acne and androgenic alopecia, and anti-androgen therapy has a potential impact on acne and androgenic alopecia. However, androgens are involved in many biological processes, and blocking or inhibiting the binding of androgens to their corresponding receptors can lead to an effective increase in androgen levels in the surrounding environment. This increase in androgen levels in the surrounding environment can affect other androgen-related biological processes and cause undesirable side effects. Currently, inhibiting androgen receptor production is a hot spot in research, and compounds with anti-androgen receptor activity are considered potential therapies for androgen receptor-related diseases.

[0006] Chinese patent application CN03808650.6 discloses curcumin analogs that have activity to inhibit androgen receptor production and can effectively inhibit androgen receptor production in cells, many of which are oily or have less than ideal activity.

[0007] Mental illnesses such as low self-esteem and depression often trouble patients with alopecia, skin diseases, and other conditions, placing a serious psychological burden on them. Therefore, there is an urgent need for novel compounds with good drug discovery potential and other properties such as biological activity.

[0008] [Summary of the Invention] The present invention provides a curcumin derivative that has high bioavailability, good biological activity, acts rapidly, and can maintain a stable physiological concentration in the body for a long period of time.

[0009] The present invention further aims to provide a composition containing the above curcumin derivatives and the use of the above curcumin derivatives in the manufacture of a drug for treating, preventing or ameliorating symptoms or diseases caused by androgen-related disorders.

[0010] The object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions, According to a first aspect, the present invention provides a compound represented by the following formula I, its racemate, stereoisomer, tautomer, solvate, crystal polymorph or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

[0101] The term "androgen" refers to male hormones such as testicular hormones and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a product of testicular hormones transformed with 5-α-reductase. Androgens stimulate or regulate the development and maintenance of male characteristics and other physiological functions in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors and subsequently to androgen / AR regulatory genes (DNA), thereby maintaining, activating, or regulating genes.

[0102] The term "androgen receptor" or "AR" refers to an intracellular receptor that specifically binds to androgens, including testicular hormones and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). ARs include all mammalian androgen receptor conjugates, binding mutants, and crystalline polymorphs.

[0103] The human term "androgenetic alopecia" refers to hair loss symptoms and conditions associated with androgen levels in vivo. Generally, androgenetic alopecia is thought to be caused by the sensitivity of hair follicles or surrounding tissues to androgens, a sensitivity that is hereditary and tends to occur within families. Androgenetic alopecia is associated with several other medical conditions in men, including coronary heart disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, insulin resistance disorders (e.g., diabetes and obesity), and hypertension. In women, alopecia may correlate with an increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), characterized by hormonal imbalances that can lead to menstrual irregularities, acne, excessive body hair (hirsutism), and weight gain. Alopecia is often associated with androgen accumulation or elevated androgen levels in women. Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss in men, and this condition is commonly referred to as androgenetic alopecia. Hair loss is clearly noticeable from both temples. Over time, the hairline recedes into a typical "M" shape. Hair also thins at the crown, often resulting in partial or complete baldness. In women, the hair thins further in various parts of the scalp, and the hairline does not recede. Androgenic alopecia in women rarely causes complete hair loss.

[0104] The term "anti-AR activity" refers to the ability of the compound of the present invention to reduce AR expression in human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP). In this invention, the ability of the compound to reduce AR expression is expressed as the percentage of AR reduction (%). The greater the reduction in AR expression, the stronger the anti-AR activity of the compound; that is, the larger the value of the percentage of AR reduction (%), the stronger the anti-AR activity. The formula for calculating the percentage of AR reduction (%) is: Percentage of AR reduction (%) = (DHT group AR / GAPDH value - test compound group AR / GAPDH value) / DHT group AR / GAPDH value × 100%.

[0105] As used herein, “individual” includes humans and non-human animals. An exemplary human individual includes a human individual suffering from a disease (e.g., a disease described herein) (referred to as a patient) or a healthy individual. “Non-human animals” in the present invention include all vertebrates, e.g., non-mammals (e.g., birds, amphibians, reptiles) and mammals, e.g., non-human primates, livestock and / or domesticated animals (e.g., sheep, dogs, cats, dairy cows, pigs, etc.).

[0106] Beneficial effects The present invention provides a curcumin derivative represented by formula I, which has good prostate tumor cell proliferation inhibitory activity and anti-AR activity. Furthermore, the curcumin derivative of the present invention has good metabolic activity in the body, with AUC and C max All of these factors are relatively high, indicating good drug discovery potential, and they can be used for the prevention and / or treatment of androgen-related disorders. Furthermore, the curcumin derivatives of the present invention also have a good hair growth promoting effect and can effectively increase the number of hair follicles and the length of hair growth.

[0229] Measurement Example 1: Inhibition test of cell viability of the compound of the present invention against human prostate cancer cells. Human prostate cancer cells LNCaP and human prostate cancer cells 22Rvl are present in the bodies of prostate cancer patients, and the androgen DHT can promote the growth of human prostate cancer cells LNCaP. The purpose of using the above cell model was to study the inhibitory effect of the compounds of the present invention on the growth of human prostate cancer cells (human prostate cancer cells LNCaP and human prostate cancer cells 22Rvl) in the presence or absence of DHT.

[0230] Test materials: Measurement compound (obtained by the method of the present invention), human prostate cancer cells LNCaP (American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Cat No: CRL-1740), human prostate cancer cells 22Rvl (American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Cat No: CRL-2505), RPMI 1640 medium (Invitrogen, Cat. No. 11875119), fetal bovine serum (Certified FBS Charcoal Stripped, Biolohivsl Industries, Cat. No. 04-204-1A), penicillin and streptomycin mixture (Solarbio, Cat No: P1400), CellTiter-Glo (CTG) reagent (Promega, Cat#G7573).

[0231] Test Method Human prostate cancer cells LNCaP and 22Rvl in the exponential growth phase were placed under a microscope, and their proliferation status was observed to be good. The culture medium in the culture dish was discarded, 5 mL of trypsin was added, and digestion was carried out for approximately 3 minutes. 10 mL of fresh medium was added to complete the digestion, the cells were thoroughly blown out, and the cells were transferred to a 15 mL centrifuge tube. Centrifugation was performed at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes to collect the cells. The collected cells were resuspended in 11 mL of fresh medium, and 1 mL was measured and counted to check cell viability. An appropriate amount of medium was added to increase the cell density to 1 × 10⁶. 4 The cells were adjusted to cells / mL, inoculated into 96-well plates at 200 μL / well, and incubated overnight in a cell incubator.

[0232] After the cells adhered to the cell wall, the human prostate cancer cell LNCaP group was incubated in 96-well plates with the test compounds (0.1 μM, 0.3 μM, 1 μM, 3 μM, 10 μM, 30 μM) and DHT (1 nM, which induces AR expression) for 5 days. The human prostate cancer cell 22Rvl group was incubated in 96-well plates with the test compounds (0.1 μM, 0.3 μM, 1 μM, 3 μM, 10 μM, 30 μM) for 5 days. After 5 days, the 96-well plates were removed from the incubator and observed under a microscope to ensure there were no abnormalities in the cell condition. The 96-well plates were then equilibrated at room temperature for 30 minutes.

[0233] Cell activity was measured using the CTG method. Before measurement, CellTiter-Glo® Buffer and its primers (collectively referred to as CTG reagents) were thawed and equilibrated at room temperature. Then, 100 mL of Buffer was carefully and uniformly mixed with the primers to form a homogeneous solution. This solution was added to a 96-well plate at a rate of 100 μL / well, incubated in a shaker for 15 minutes, and the fluorescence value of each well was measured. The method for measuring the fluorescence value of each well was as follows: After adding the CTG reagent, fluorescence detection (integration time: 500 ms) was performed using a multimode plate reader (M200Pro, TECAN) of the appropriate instrument according to the supplier's manual to quantify the effect of the inhibitor on cell activity. For data analysis, the test background value was subtracted from all data points. This value was measured in wells containing culture medium but no cells. The data was processed using XLfit software (XLfit 5.2, IDBS, UK) to obtain the IC for each test compound. 50 The values ​​were calculated, and the IC20 was determined for human prostate cancer cells LNCaP and human prostate cancer cells 22Rvl, and for typical compounds of the present invention. 50 The values ​​are shown in Table 1 below.

[0234] [Table 1]

[0235] As can be seen from the test data in the table above, the compound of the present invention has good prostate cancer cell proliferation inhibitory activity and can effectively inhibit the proliferation of prostate cancer cells.

[0236] Measurement Example 2: Measurement test of the effect of the compound of the present invention on the expression of AR protein in human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP). AR is a key factor that modulates the androgen response of prostate cancer cells, and is also a key factor in the androgen response of hair follicles or perifollicular tissues. Reducing AR content can not only downregulate the growth of prostate cancer cells but also inhibit androgenic alopecia. This measurement example measures the effect of the compound of the present invention on the reduction of AR protein expression in human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP) in the presence of DHT. The anti-AR activity of the compound of the present invention in human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP) was analyzed by measuring the reduction of AR protein using Western blotting.

[0237] Test materials: Compound to be measured (obtained by the method of the present invention), human prostate cancer cells LNCaP (American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Cat No: CRL-1740), RPMI 1640 medium (Invitrogen, Cat. No. 11875119), fetal bovine serum (Certified FBS Charcoal Stripped, Biolohivsl Industries, Cat. No. 04-204-1A), BCA protein quantification reagent kit (Thermo, Cat. No. 23225), Color prestained protein marker (Biyuntian, Cat. No. P0069), GAPDH antibody (Millipore, Cat. No. MAB374), AR antibody (CST, Cat. No. 5153).

[0238] Test method: Human prostate cancer cells LNCaP were divided into 4 × 10⁶ cells. 5Cells / mL were inoculated into 6-well plates, with each well containing 2 mL of cells. The plates were incubated overnight in a cell incubator. DMSO and dihydrotestosterone (DHT, 1 nM) were used as control groups. The tests were performed in the presence of DHT (1 nM). After culturing cells in the target compound for a predetermined period, they were collected and lysed using Western blotting techniques known in biochemistry. During the test, separate 6-well plates were set up for the DMSO group, DHT group (1 nM), and target compound group (containing 1 nM DHT). DMSO and DHT (1 nM DHT) were added to the corresponding 6-well plates for the DMSO group and DHT group, respectively. DHT (1 nM) and the target compound (0.6 μM, 1.2 μM, 2.5 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM) were added to the corresponding 6-well plate for the target compound group. After incubating the control and target compound groups for 48 hours, the cells were collected and lysed. Protein concentrations were quantified using a BCA reagent kit, and the samples were stored for use.

[0239] Western blotting was used to measure the AR protein content in each group, with a loading amount of 30 μg for each group's sample. Western blotting analysis is already disclosed in the prior art. Specifically, cells were collected in 2x sodium dodecyl sulfate / polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis buffer, or in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer enhanced with 10 μg / mL benzamidine, 10 μg / mL trypsin inhibitor, and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. Total protein samples (approximately 40 μg) from each cell lysate were separated by electrophoresis onto SDS / PAGE gels. After electrophoretic separation, proteins were delivered from the gel to a nitrocellulose membrane according to standard procedures. Subsequently, the membranes were cultured for 1 hour in phosphate-buffered water supplemented with 0.1% Tween 20 (PBST) with 10% skim milk, and then cultured overnight at 4°C with primary human AR-specific antibody (purchased from BD-Harlingen). After culturing, the membrane was washed three times with PBST buffer for 10 minutes each time, and then alkaline phosphatase-conjugated secondary antibody was added and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. After secondary culture, the membrane was washed again with PBST, and then alkaline phosphatase medium, bromochloroindolyl phosphate, and nitrotetrazole were added to the membrane to bring out the AR protein signal. To ensure the analysis of equal amounts of protein in each sample, a specific antibody for controlling the protein GAPDH (SantaCruz Biotechnology) was retained in a portion of the membrane, and the GAPDH signal was displayed using the second antibody described above. The protein signal intensity (as shown by the bands on the membrane) was measured by hydrometer and analyzed using NIH ImageJ software (NIH1.33). The AR protein signal (relative to GAPDH) in each sample was normalized, and the data is shown as the ratio of the AR grayscale value to the GAPDH grayscale value, specifically shown in Figure 1.

[0240] The above experiments measured the ability of some of the compounds of the present invention to reduce AR expression in human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP) (i.e., anti-AR activity), and compared the anti-AR activity of each compound at multiple concentrations against the DHT group and the DMSO group. The relative efficacy of the anti-AR activity of the compounds of the present invention is shown as the percentage reduction in AR after 48 hours of incubation with the compound at concentrations of 2.5 μM, 5 μM, and 10 μM (containing 1 nM DHT), and the evaluation index is as shown in Table 2 below.

[0241] [Table 2]

[0242] The formula for calculating the percentage reduction in AR (%) is: Percentage reduction in AR (%) = (AR / GAPDH value of the DHT group - AR / GAPDH value of the test compound group) / AR / GAPDH value of the DHT group × 100%.

[0243] The ability of the compounds of the present invention to reduce AR expression in human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP), i.e., their anti-AR activity, is shown in Table 3. The values ​​in Table 3 represent the percentage reduction in AR (%), the concentrations in Table 3 represent the concentrations of the measured compounds, and the more "+" signs there are in the relative efficacy column in Table 3, the better the anti-AR activity of the compound.

[0244] [Table 3]

[0245] In conclusion, DHT can upregulate the expression of AR protein in human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP), and all of the compounds of the present invention can dose-dependently inhibit the expression of AR protein in human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP), i.e., the compounds of the present invention have anti-AR activity. Considering the relative potency as a whole, the compounds of the present invention, in particular compound 7, compound 8, compound 12 hydrochloride, compound 16 hydrochloride, and compound 19 hydrochloride, have remarkable anti-AR activity.

[0246] Measurement Example 3: Study of Pharmacokinetic Properties This measurement example aims to study the single oral administration of each compound solution of the present invention to SD rats, detect the concentration of the active ingredient in plasma, and evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of the drug in the body of the SD rats.

[0247] Experimental materials: Male SD rats (body weight 180 - 220 g, purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., production license number: SCXK (Beijing) 2016 - 0006), experimental compounds (manufactured according to the method of the examples of the present invention), purified water (self - made).

[0248] Experimental method: Male SD rats were randomly grouped (3 rats / group), allowed to freely ingest water during the test period, fasted for more than 12 hours before administration, and fed 4 hours after administration. Oral gavage was performed, and a 0.5% suspension aqueous solution of the experimental compound (calculated by the amount of the experimental compound) at a dose of 50 mg / kg was administered to each group of SD rats. The suspension aqueous solution contained 0.5% test compound, 1% CMCNa, 0.5% Tween 80, and 98% purified water.

[0249] Blood samples were collected into K2EDTA anticoagulant tubes at 0 min before administration, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, and 12 h after administration, and temporarily stored on ice until centrifugation.

[0250] Plasma must be centrifuged within 60 min after blood collection (centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 5 min under the condition of 2 - 8 °C). After centrifugation, the plasma was transferred to a 96 - well plate or a centrifuge tube, transferred in an ice case, and stored at ≤ - 15 °C until LC - MS / MS detection. The LC - MS / MS biological analysis method was adopted to detect the drug concentration in the plasma of SD rats. The non - compartmental model was adopted, and the blood drug concentration - time data were analyzed by WinNonlinTM (Version 8.3, Certara, USA) to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of the drug in the body of the SD rats. The data are shown in Table 4, and the pharmacokinetic curve is shown in Figure 2.

[0251]

Table 4

[0252] From the drug-time curve in Figure 2, compound 10 is shown to be C in rats. max At least, AUC last This is the minimum, and compounds 7 and 8 are C max Although they are similar, compound 8 has a different AUC. last This shows that compound 10 is higher than compound 7. These results suggest that when each compound is administered intragastricly to SD rats at the same dose, compound 10 may have the lowest exposure in the rat body and the worst therapeutic effect, followed by compound 7, and compound 8 is C max and AUC last All of these factors show a significant increase, suggesting that the drug's effects may be the most pronounced.

[0253] As shown by the above results, the compounds of the present invention have significantly improved pharmacokinetic properties. In particular, after administration of the compounds of the present invention, AUC and C max All of these improvements were remarkably significant. Therefore, the compounds of the present invention have good drug discovery potential, and even better therapeutic effects can be obtained at lower doses.

[0254] Measurement Example 4: Hair growth promotion test of the compound of the present invention in alopecia mice Test Objective: The hair growth promoting effect of the compound of the present invention on a mouse model of alopecia was measured.

[0255] Test materials: C57BL / 6 mice (purchased from Beijing SPF Biotechnology Co., Ltd., production license number: SCXK(Beijing) 2019-0010), test compounds (obtained by manufacturing according to the method of the present invention), rosin (Shanghai Yuanye Bio-Technology Co., Ltd., lot number: Y18M10C83144), liquid paraffin (Shanghai Yuanye Bio-Technology Co., Ltd., lot number: Z22S11Y125555), chloral hydrate (Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd., lot number: 20190823, prepared into a 2% chloral hydrate solution with 0.9% sodium chloride solution during use), testosterone propionate (Shanghai Aladdin Reagent Co., Ltd., lot number: T101368, prepared into a 0.5% testosterone propionate solution with soybean oil for injection during use), soybean oil for injection (Tieling Beiya Pharmaceutical Oil Co., Ltd., lot number:国药准字H21024303), paraformaldehyde (Xilong Scientific Co., Ltd., lot number: 1705022), 0.9% sodium chloride solution (Jiangsu Shuanghe Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., lot number: 210322-3C), electronic balance (Beijing Sartorius Instrument Et System Engineering Co., Ltd., model number: BS224 S, GZX-9140MBE), digital display electric constant temperature forced air dryer (Shanghai Boxun Industry Co., Ltd.).

[0256] Test method: Select 8-week-old male C57BL / 6 mice, intraperitoneally inject 2% chloral hydrate (400 mg / kg) to anesthetize them, weigh equal amounts of rosin and paraffin, heat and mix them evenly, apply them to an area of about 2 cm×2.5 cm on the back of the mouse. After the mixture cools and hardens, gently peel off the coagulated hair with tweezers. From this study, animals found to have a deep skin color after hair removal were excluded, among which the above deep skin color indicates that these animals are in the hair growth stage with active hair follicle growth.

[0257] Approved C57BL / 6 mice (3 mice / group) were randomly assigned to a blank group, a model group, a positive control group (7.5% class coterone group), and a test group (including 8 groups of 0.3% compounds and 7 groups of 0.3% compounds). In the blank group, 0.1 mL of physiological saline was applied to the hair loss area once daily in the morning for 17 consecutive days. In the model group, 0.1 mL of 0.5% testosterone propionate solution was applied to the hair loss area once daily in the morning (from the first day for 17 consecutive days), and 0.5 mL of the control solvent was applied to the hair loss area once daily in the afternoon (from the next day for 16 consecutive days). In the positive control group, 0.1 mL of 0.5% testosterone propionate solution was applied to the hair loss area once daily in the morning (from the first day for 17 consecutive days), and 0.5 mL of 7.5% clascoterone solution was applied to the hair loss area once daily in the afternoon (from the next day for 16 consecutive days). In the test group, 0.1 mL of 0.5% testosterone propionate solution was applied to the hair loss area once daily in the morning (from the first day for 17 consecutive days), and 0.5 mL of the control solvent was applied to the hair loss area once daily in the afternoon. A 0.3% test compound solution was applied once daily for 16 consecutive days starting the following day. The test compound solution consisted of 0.3% test compound, 40% DMSO, 30% ethanol, and the remainder being water. The control solvent consisted of 40% DMSO, 30% ethanol, and the remainder being water. The positive control group consisted of 7.5% clascoterone, 40% DMSO, 30% ethanol, and the remainder being water. Hair regrowth in the alopecia areas of mice in each group was observed, and photographs were taken 16 days after the start of topical administration of the test compound solution.

[0258] On day 18 of the experiment, five newly grown hairs were extracted from the bald area on the back of each mouse in each group, and the length of the hairs was measured with calipers. The hair lengths of the mice in each group were statistically analyzed, skin was excised from the bald area of ​​each mouse in each group, and hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE staining) was performed. The morphology of the hair follicles was observed under a microscope, and six fields (×100) were randomly selected from each sample for observation. The average number of hair follicles within each field was calculated. The software used for data statistics was GraphPad 8.0, and the data for each group are all shown as mean ± standard difference (X ± SD), specifically as shown in Table 5 below. Representative photographs of hair growth status and representative HE-stained sections of skin tissue from each group on day 18 are shown in Figure 3.

[0259] [Table 5]

[0260] As shown in Figure 3, the mice in the model group showed poorer hair growth and significantly fewer hair follicles compared to the blank group, demonstrating that a mouse model of alopecia can be formed by applying a 0.5% testosterone propionate solution. Compared to the model group, the mice in the positive control group showed significantly increased hair growth and a remarkable increase in hair follicle count, demonstrating the reliability of the alopecia mouse model. Compounds 7 and 8 of the present invention showed even better hair and hair follicle growth than the positive control group when administered at a daily dose of 1.5 mg, indicating that low doses of the compounds of the present invention have even better alopecia treatment efficacy than high doses of the positive control.

[0261] From the above test data, it can be seen that the compound of the present invention, when administered in relatively small doses, can significantly increase both the hair length and the number of hair follicles in the test group mice, can promote the generation of hair follicles and hair growth in alopecia mice, and has a good hair growth promoting effect.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are also included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
