Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2021102648447, filed on 4 March 2021. This application incorporates the full text of said Chinese Patent Application. This invention belongs to the field of chemical pharmaceuticals, and more specifically relates to aromatic compounds, methods for preparing them, and their applications. [Background technology]
[0002] The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located at the base of the neck. It secretes hormones known as thyroid hormones, which control the body's basal metabolism and how our bodies use energy. Thyroid hormones regulate important bodily functions such as respiration, heart rate, the central and peripheral nervous systems, body weight, muscle strength, menstrual cycle, body temperature, and cholesterol levels.
[0003] Thyroid hormone receptors (THR) belong to a superfamily of nuclear receptors whose expression is induced by the thyroid hormone T3. The major subtypes of thyroid hormone receptors, THRα-1, THRβ-1, and THRβ-2, primarily mediate the action of thyroid hormones essential for human growth and metabolism. THRβ-1 is widely expressed in all tissues, but more prominently in the brain, thyroid gland, liver, and kidneys, while THRβ-2 is tissue-specific, primarily expressed in the anterior pituitary gland, pituitary gland, retina, developing brain, and inner ear.
[0004] The physiological effects of thyroid hormones affect almost all organ systems. Clinically, these effects manifest as changes in lipid metabolism and impacts on cardiovascular development. Thyroid hormones have beneficial effects such as lowering cholesterol, improving lipid profiles, and treating obesity. Thyroid hormone analogs can improve lipid profiles by lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, increasing the reuptake of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, stimulating reverse cholesterol transport, and lowering plasma triglycerides.
[0005] Since THRβ-1 is the major thyroid hormone receptor isoform in the liver, it is hypothesized that inhibition of normal THRβ-1 activity by its mutants leads to metabolic abnormalities. Furthermore, thyroid hormones also regulate apolipoprotein B, the major protein component of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Several findings suggest that thyroid hormones not only stimulate the lipid oxidation pathway but also inhibit the pathway by which lipid droplets act as lipid storage organelles, thereby promoting the secretion of lipid droplets as part of VLDL liposomes.
[0006] This study showed that patients with low thyroid function had a significantly higher rate of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and advanced fibrosis compared to patients with completely normal thyroid function (NASH: 52.4% vs. 37.2%, advanced fibrosis: 21.0% vs. 10.6%, P<0.01). Furthermore, patients with subclinical hypothyroidism had a significantly higher incidence of NASH and advanced fibrosis compared to patients with low thyroid function (NASH: 57.6% vs. 48.8%; advanced fibrosis: 25.4% vs. 17.9%; P < 0.01). Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone levels were significantly higher in NASH patients compared to the normal group. In addition, thyroid function tests confirmed the presence of several thyroid abnormalities in patients with chronic liver disease. Furthermore, hypothyroidism was not associated with NASH but was associated with other known metabolic risk factors; i.e., hypothyroidism is an independent risk factor for NASH.
[0007] If the harmful effects of thyroid hormone excess can be separated from its potential beneficial effects on cholesterol and lipid reduction, there is hope for the development of new drugs with potent effects. Considering the roughly three stages of progression in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and NASH: namely, fat deposition, hepatitis-hepatocyte death / apoptosis, and fibrosis / cirrhosis, treatment strategies should include at least three aspects: namely, reduction or removal of hepatic fat deposition, control and suppression of persistent hepatitis in the hepatic region / reduction of hepatocyte death, and degradation of fibrous / extracellular matrix formed to halt the progression of fibrosis or reverse the fibrotic process. Degradation of the extracellular matrix to reverse the fibrotic process. Of these three aspects, the reduction or removal of fat deposition and control and suppression of ongoing inflammation / reduction of hepatocyte death are the most important. NAFLD / NASH is essentially metabolic syndrome and is closely related to lipid metabolism disorders, insulin resistance / type 2 diabetes, etc., and at the same time, these metabolic disorders are also closely related to fat deposition and type 2 diabetes. Simultaneously, these metabolic disorders and fat deposition trigger inflammation, which in turn causes hepatocyte death / apoptosis, and hepatocyte death / apoptosis naturally progresses to fibrosis / cirrhosis. Most drugs currently in Phase III clinical trials have a pharmacological mechanism of action that reduces or eliminates fat deposition / degeneration, controls and suppresses persistent inflammation, and reduces hepatocyte death.
[0008] In summary, the development of selective oral small molecule agonists targeting THR-β is a very promising strategy, and there are already two international pioneers in this field. One of them, MGL-3196, a drug candidate from Madrigal Pharmaceuticals (USA), showed promising results in a Phase II clinical trial in patients with biopsy-verified non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). MGL-3196 is a once-daily oral selective agonist targeting the liver-specific thyroid hormone receptor subtype (THR-β). In the clinical trial, the primary clinical endpoint was a statistically significant reduction of ≥30% in liver lipids, measured using MRI-PDFF (non-invasive imaging), which correlated highly with improvement in NASH on liver biopsy. In the MGL-3196 treatment group, statistically significant decreases in ALT and AST were observed, and several other secondary endpoints, including LDL-C, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B, and lipoprotein a, also showed statistically significant improvements. All of these clinical indicators correlated with the clinical status of NASH patients.
[0009] Furthermore, Viking Therapeutics has developed VK2809 (or MB07811), an oral small molecule agonist with selectivity for the thyroid hormone receptor β subtype (THR-β). This drug is currently in Phase II clinical trials in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. As a result, patients treated with VK2809 showed a significant reduction of 20% or more in LDL-C levels. In NAFLD patients, LDL-C levels were significantly reduced and liver fat volume improved after 12 weeks of treatment.
[0010] Due to the remarkable inhibitory effects of MGL-3196 and VK2809 on fat deposition / shedding, the industry predicts that thyroid hormone receptor β subtype (THR-β) agonists will be very promising in the treatment of NAFLD / NASH and metabolic syndrome.
[0011] [ka] However, currently reported THR-β agonists still have limitations, and it is crucial to improve the agonist activity and subtype selectivity of compounds, especially against the THR-α subtype. Compounds currently under investigation still have deficiencies in agonist activity and selectivity. Only when these bottlenecks are overcome can these compounds be expected to become groundbreaking new therapeutic agents for NASH and related liver diseases. [Overview of the project]
[0012] The technical problem that this invention aims to solve is the shortcomings of existing single-structure thyroid hormone receptor THR-β selective agonists. Therefore, this invention provides a type of aromatic compound, a method for preparing the same, and its applications. These agonists exhibit significantly stronger agonist activity against THR-β than the currently studied drug MGL-3196, and are also significantly more selective against the THR-α subtype than MGL-3196. In animal studies using a NASH disease model, certain compounds showed good safety, tolerability, hepatic steatosis-reducing effects, and hepatoprotective effects in mice.

[0197] Example 3 of the effect: Efficacy and safety testing in an animal model of NASH
[0198] When C57BL / 6J male mice were continuously fed a CDAA-HFD diet (choline-deficient levulinic acid amino acid high-fat diet) from 6 weeks of age, a model was successfully created after 6 weeks (42 days). In this model, hepatic triglyceride secretion via VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) was impaired, and the mice developed elevated serum ALT and AST levels, steatosis and inflammation within 3 weeks, and hepatic fibrosis within 5-6 weeks. The CDAA-HFD diet induces hepatic fat deposition and hepatic fibrosis in a short period without the characteristics of metabolic syndrome such as obesity, hyperglycemia, and hypertriglyceridemia, making it extremely useful for NASH disease research projects. In this study, we used this CDAA-HFD model to simulate the pathological processes and physiological states of NASH and to verify the therapeutic effects of compounds on early to mid-stage NASH.
[0199] Specific implementation program: [Table 4] Note: PO is administered orally (enteral administration), qd is administered once daily.
[0200] The groups were divided starting from day 42, when the model was successfully established, and administered according to the 42-day treatment regimen.
[0201] Drug preparation: Each dose group weighed an appropriate amount of sample powder, placed it in a 5 mL centrifuge tube, added an appropriate amount of 0.5% MC, mixed it using vortex shock, and prepared a solution of the corresponding concentration for use.
[0202] The animals' condition was observed and recorded after each administration. In case of death, a gross autopsy was performed, and the internal organs were visually inspected and recorded for any abnormalities. The animals' body weight was measured twice a week during the experiment. Figure 1 shows the body weight curves of animals administered for 42 days.
[0203] 2. Pathological Score: After measuring the body weight of all mice at appropriate time points, they were euthanized with high concentrations of carbon dioxide. Blood was collected by cardiac puncture, and the plasma was centrifuged at 7000 rpm for 10 minutes. Immediately afterward, it was placed on dry ice and stored at -80°C. Subsequently, blood biochemical indicators, including TCHO (total cholesterol) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein), were examined.
[0204] Liver tissue was harvested, weighed, and a portion of the liver (the same area in each animal) was excised. This tissue was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and subjected to histopathological analysis (HE staining and Sirius Red staining): the degree of hepatic fat and inflammatory cell infiltration, fibrosis, and NAS score (for the NAS scoring system, refer to the Chinese Medical Association's "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease" (revised edition, 2010). (Ishak scoring criteria, Journal of Hepatology 47 (2007) 598-607, Grading and staging systems for inflammation and fibrosis in chronic liver diseases.)).
[0205] 3.Statistical analysis Data are represented as mean + SEM. Statistical analysis of differences between groups was performed using SPSS statistical software, specifically one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnett's test. A p-value of less than 0.05 indicates statistical significance between the data of the two groups. In the graphs of this example, * indicates P<0.05, ** indicates P<0.01, and *** indicates P<0.001.
[0206] 4. Experimental Results
[0207] 4.1 Lipid-lowering effect of Compound 1 Figure 2 shows TCHO (total cholesterol), and Figure 3 shows LDL (low-density lipoprotein). Compound 1 showed a significant reduction compared to the normal diet group, the model group, and the fenofibrate group, confirming the liver fat-reducing effect of Compound 1 as a THR-β inhibitor.
[0208] 4.2 Hepatocyte balloon formation and inflammation score of Compound 1 Hepatocyte balloon formation can indicate the severity of hepatic fat accumulation. As shown in Figure 4, compound 1 significantly reduced the hepatocyte balloon score. Another key indicator of NASH is the degree of hepatitis cell infiltration. As shown in Figure 5, compound 1 showed good suppression and reversal of hepatitis, suggesting the potential of compound 1 to treat NASH.
[0209] 4.3 Fibrosis of Compound 1 and NAS score The liver fibrosis score is shown in Figure 6, and the NAS score is shown in Figure 7. Compound 1 significantly improved both the liver NAS score and fibrosis. When the lipid-lowering effect of compound 2 was tested using the same method as above, compound 2 showed a significant reduction compared to the normal diet group, the model group, and the fenofibrate group, confirming that compound 2 effectively reduces liver fat as a THR-β inhibitor. When the hepatocyte balloon-like changes and inflammation scores of compound 2 were tested using the same method as above, compound 2 also showed good hepatitis suppression and recovery effects.

Hematological and blood biochemistry results were also normal. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was ≥300 mg / kg, suggesting a favorable safety profile for compound 1.
[0213] Example of effect 5: hERG test
[0214] The inhibitory effect of compound 1 on hERG potassium current in CHO cells was tested using fully automated membrane clamp QPatch technology.
[0215] Specific implementation program:
[0216] 1. Cell preparation CHO-hERG cells 175cm 2 The cells were cultured in a culture flask, and when the cell density reached 60-80%, the culture medium was removed and the cells were removed. After washing once with mL of PBS (phosphate-buffered saline), digestion was carried out with 3 mL of Detachin. Once digestion was complete, neutralization was performed by adding 7 mL of culture medium, the cells were centrifuged, the supernatant was aspirated, and the cells were resuspended by adding 5 mL of culture medium until the cell density was 2–5 × 10⁶ / mL.
[0217] 2. Electrophysiological Recording Process The single-cell high-impedance sealing and whole-cell patterning processes were all automated using a Qpatch device. After obtaining the whole-cell recording pattern, the cells were clamped at -80mV, a preconditioning voltage of -50mV was applied for 50ms, followed by a depolarizing stimulus of +40mV for 5 seconds, maintaining repolarization to -50mV for 5 seconds, and then returning to -80mV. This voltage stimulus was applied every 15 seconds, recorded for 2 minutes, then added to extracellular fluid and recorded for 5 minutes before initiating the administration process. The highest concentration of compound 1 tested was 40.00 μM, with six other concentrations being tested in the following order: 40.00, 13.33, 4.44, 1.48, 0.49, and 0.16 μM. The final test concentrations did not contain more than 0.2% DMSO, and this concentration of DMSO did not affect hERG potassium channels. The compound concentration was administered starting from the lowest test concentration, for 2.5 minutes at each concentration, and after administering all concentrations consecutively, the positive control compound cisapride was administered. A minimum of 3 cells (n≧3) were tested at each concentration.
[0218] 3. Data Analysis The experimental data was analyzed using GraphPad Prism 5.0 software.
[0219] 4. Experimental Results [Table 5] Note: Cells treated with compound 1 were unable to maintain normal sealing at a concentration of 40 μM. Data at this concentration are not included in the statistics.
[0220] The results showed that compound 1 had little effect on hERG potassium current in CHO cells, suggesting that there are few safety concerns for the heart.
