Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to, but is not limited to, the art of drug chemistry, and more particularly to chiral arylpropionic acid derivatives, drug compositions thereof, and their use. [Background technology]

[0002] Loxoprofen sodium, whose chemical name is 2-[4-(2-oxocyclopentan-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]propionate sodium, is the first propionic acid precursor-type nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Developed and researched by Nippon Sankyo Co., Ltd., loxoprofen sodium tablets were marketed in Japan in July 1986 under the trade name Loxonin, and marketed in China in 1999, with JAKEN JA Pharmaceutical's Chinese trademark name being "Lesong". The commercially available drug is available in various dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, granules, patches, and gels, and loxoprofen sodium dihydrate was selected as the API for these various dosage forms. [ka]

[0003] Loxoprofen is a weakly active prodrug that requires metabolism in the liver after oral administration, and its therapeutic effect is exerted once it is converted to the active ingredient. After local administration, loxoprofen is thought to be metabolized by carbonyl reductase in the skin and subcutaneous muscle tissue. Loxoprofen has two chiral centers and four chiral isomers, and currently, loxoprofen sodium is marketed as a racemic mixture. However, the differences in the pharmacological effects of the four isomers of loxoprofen have not been reported in the literature. After oral administration, loxoprofen is rapidly absorbed, and the plasma concentrations of loxoprofen and its metabolites reach peak levels 30-50 minutes later, with plasma protein binding rates of 97% and 93%, respectively. A single local administration of 1% loxoprofen (100 mg) resulted in 10% of the dose being transferred into the body within 12 hours.

[0004] After loxoprofen is metabolized, the carbonyl group is reduced to a hydroxyl group, resulting in a structure containing three chiral centers and eight isomers, with the trans-OH metabolite being one of the active metabolites. The specific differences in pharmacological effects of the diastereoisomers corresponding to the active metabolite containing the three chiral centers have not been reported in the literature.

[0005] We will conduct detailed studies on several isomers and then develop efficient, fast-acting nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug derivatives through structural modification. [Overview of the project]

[0094] Example 9: Effect on the proliferative activity of HFLS-RA cells Grouping and Sample Concentrations: The experiment was divided into two groups: a blank control group (Group 1 for CCK-8 detection at 0 hours and Group 2 for CCK-8 detection at 72 hours; neither group contained the test product or TNF-α), a TNF-α group (only TNF-α was added without the test product, with a final TNF-α concentration of 10 ng / mL), a test product group (test products were DSC4801-DSC4826 and controls 1-3; the structures of controls 1-3 were based on the synthetic parts of the comparative examples; the final concentrations of each test product and TNF-α for cell incubation were 100 μg / mL and 10 ng / mL, respectively), and a positive control group (final concentrations of methotrexate and TNF-α for cell incubation were 1 μg / mL and 10 ng / mL, respectively).

[0095] Co-incubation: HFLS-RA cells are taken during the logarithmic growth phase, and 3 × 10⁻¹⁶ cells are incubated. 4Cells were inoculated into 96-well culture plates at a density of cells / ml, with an inoculation volume of 100 μL per well. After inoculation, the cells were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours (cell adhesion confluence reached approximately 25%). An appropriate amount of each sample solution was added according to the final concentration of the group and sample, and three duplicate wells were created for each group. Before sample addition (0 hours), CCK-8 detection was performed on group 1, the blank control group, and CCK-8 detection was performed on the remaining groups after incubation in the incubator for 72 hours.

[0096] Detection and Calculation: The culture medium was discarded, and 100 μL of medium containing 10% CCK-8 solution was added to each well. The cultures were incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. Absorbance (OD value) was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader, and the cell proliferation rate was calculated according to the following formula. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0097] The formula is: Cell proliferation rate = [OD (72h) -OD (0h) ] / OD (0h) It is ×100%, and in the formula, OD (0h) This shows the OD value at 0 hours, OD (72h) This shows the OD value at 72 hours.

[0098] [Table 1]

[0099] As can be seen from Table 1, the TNF-α group significantly promoted the proliferation of HFLS-RA cells compared to the blank control group (P<0.001). The positive control group and the test product groups (compounds DSC4801-DSC4826 and controls 1-3 according to the present invention) were all able to significantly suppress TNF-α-induced HFLS-RA cell proliferation compared to the TNF-α group (P<0.001). The compounds according to the present invention showed a significantly higher level of suppression of TNF-α-induced HFLS-RA cell proliferation compared to control groups 1, 2, and 3 (P<0.001). As a result, it was shown that the compounds according to the present invention can exert an anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing HFLS-RA cell proliferation and are significantly superior to control compounds 1, 2, and 3.

[0100] Example 10: Effects of HFLS on cytokine secretion in RA The experiment was divided into three groups: a blank control group (without test product or TNF-α), a TNF-α group (final TNF-α concentration for cell incubation was 10 ng / mL), and test product groups (a total of eight groups: DSC4801, DSC4807, DSC4810, DSC4813, DSC4821, DSC4826, and control groups 1 and 3, with final concentrations of 100 μg / mL and 10 ng / mL for each test product and TNF-α for cell incubation, respectively).

[0101] HFLS-RA cells were taken during the logarithmic growth phase, and 5 × 10⁻⁶ cells were taken. 4 At a density of individual cells / ml 96 wells The cells were inoculated into culture plates, with an inoculation volume of 200 μL per well. After inoculation, the cells were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 2 hours. An appropriate amount of each sample solution was added according to the final concentration of the group and sample, and three duplicate wells were created for each group. After continuing incubation for 48 hours, the cell supernatant was collected, and the content of IL-6 and IL-8 in the supernatant was detected using an ELISA reagent kit. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0102] [Table 2]

[0103] As can be seen from Table 2, TNF-α significantly induces the expression of IL-6 and IL-8 inflammatory factors in HFLS-RA cells compared to the blank control group (P<0.001). The compound according to the present invention significantly suppresses the expression of IL-6 and IL-8 inflammatory factors in HFLS-RA cells induced by TNF-α compared to the TNF-α group, control group 1, and control group 3 (P<0.001). As a result, the compound according to the present invention is shown to exert an anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing the expression of IL-6 and IL-8 inflammatory factors, and is significantly superior to control compounds 1 and 3.

[0104] Example 11 Distribution in joint tissue Thirty-six healthy male SD rats weighing 200 ± 20 g were prepared. They were housed at room temperature of 20-26°C, humidity of 40-70%, and a light-dark cycle of 12 hours / 12 hours, and were allowed to feed freely during this time. After adaptive rearing for three days, the SD rats were randomly divided into four groups (A / B / C / D), with nine rats per group. Within each group, they were further randomly divided into three time groups, with three rats per time group. Each group was orally administered intragastricly by suspension of the test substance (each test substance suspended in 1% MS). Of these, group A received 3 mg / kg of DSC4813, group B received 2.94 mg / kg of DSC4821, group C received 2.47 mg / kg of control 1, and group D received 2 mg / kg of control 2 (loxoprofen). Three rats were anesthetized and executed in each group at 0.5 hours, 1 hour, and 2 hours after administration. The left and right ankle joints were then dissected, the skin around the joints was removed, and tissues around the ankle joints (including medial and lateral collateral ligaments, medial and lateral deltoid ligaments, fascia, tendons, and synovial membrane) were collected and weighed. After cutting, the joint tissue samples were subjected to sonic extraction using 10 mL of methanol. The extraction time was 20 minutes. After extraction, the samples were placed in EP tubes, sealed, and stored at -20°C for measurement. The substances to be measured were detected by LC-MS / MS (trans-OH forms of the compound were detected in groups A / B / C, while loxoprofen and all isomers with the carbonyl group reduced to OH were detected in group D. The results for group D represent the sum of the concentrations of loxoprofen and all isomers with the carbonyl group reduced to OH). The results are shown in Figure 1.

[0105] As can be seen from Figure 1, the compounds DSC4813 and DSC4821 according to the present invention showed significantly improved distribution at joint sites after oral intragastric infusion compared to controls 1 and 2 (P<0.001). Therefore, it was estimated that the compounds DSC4813 and DSC4821 according to the present invention have good anti-arthritis effects and are superior to control compounds 1 and 2.

Those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is as defined in the claims.
