Description

Novel saturated heterocyclic substituted heteroaryl-carbonohydrazonoyl dicyanide compounds and uses thereof

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel saturated heterocyclic substituted heteroaryl-carbonohydrazonoyl dicyanide compound and its use.

[0002] Tau protein is a microtubule-associated protein (MAP) primarily expressed in the axons of neurons. It stabilizes microtubules and exhibits molecular diversity through phosphorylation. In humans, six isoforms of tau are generated by alternative splicing of mRNA, which involves insertions of 29 or 58 amino acid residues at the N-terminus and three or four repeats (called microtubule-binding domains) at the C-terminus.

[0003] In healthy neurons, tau stabilizes microtubules by promoting axonal growth and neuronal polarization. Pathologically, when hyperphosphorylated, tau detaches from microtubules, accumulating and aggregating within the cytoplasm. Hyperphosphorylation and / or aggregation of tau proteins leads to abnormal accumulation of these tau proteins in neurons, which has been implicated as a cause of various neurodegenerative diseases. Abnormal tau protein aggregation also occurs in tauopathies. While the precise role of this tau protein aggregation in the progression of tauopathies is not yet known, it appears to be similar to aggregation commonly observed in other neurodegenerative brain diseases.

[0004] The TDP-43 protein, primarily located in the nucleus, is known to be involved in gene expression by binding to DNA or RNA, inhibiting gene transcription, and regulating RNA splicing and translation. Under pathological conditions, mutations in the TDP-43 protein within the nucleus can cause it to migrate to the cytoplasm and form abnormal aggregates.

[0005] Thus, it is known that tau protein and / or Tdp-43 protein, alone or in combination, are hyperphosphorylated and / or aggregated in neurons to cause various degenerative brain diseases including tauopathies such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. In particular, it has been reported that when tau protein and Tdp-43 protein aggregate in combination to cause tauopathy, the progression and severity of tau pathology are accelerated and aggravated. However, the specific mechanisms by which diseases mediated by these tau proteins and / or Tdp-43 proteins transmit signals and exhibit toxicity have not yet been elucidated, and no clear treatment or therapeutic agent is yet known to treat these diseases. Therefore, the present inventors have completed and provided an invention that can be applied to tau protein and / or Tdp-43 protein-related proteinopathies. Prior art related to the present invention includes Mol. Neurodegeneration, 2009, 4: 13, Biophys. J., 2006, 90: 3739-3748, J. Biol. Chem., 1995, 270: 7679-7688, J. Neuril. Neurosurg.

[0220] In the present invention, the term "cyclo or cyclic" refers to a structure in which both ends of an organic compound skeleton are connected to form a ring. The inventors of the present invention have confirmed that when the heteroaryl side terminal in the heteroaryl-carbonohydrazonoyl-dicyanide structure is substituted with a saturated heterocyclyl, there is an excellent effect in inhibiting the aggregation and hyperphosphorylation of tau protein and / or Tdp-43.

[0221] In the present invention, the term “chain or cyclic alkyl group” means a monovalent linear or branched or cyclic saturated hydrocarbon residue consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms, having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Examples of such alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, 2-butyl, 3-butyl, pentyl, n-hexyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and the like.

After 48 hours, the nuclei in the cells were stained with Hoechst (at a concentration of 2 μg / mL), and the BiFC fluorescence intensity was automatically quantified using Operetta (Perkin Elmer), and the stained nuclei in each well were counted from the entire plate. The group treated only with Forskolin, which induces tau aggregation, was set as a reference point with 100% tau aggregation, and the effect was confirmed by the formula "BiFC fluorescence intensity by the compound synthesized according to the example of the present invention / (fluorescence intensity of the control group treated only with Forskolin, which induces tau aggregation - fluorescence intensity of the untreated control group) × 100". In addition, the degree of cytotoxicity induced by the newly synthesized compound was also calculated by the formula "(number of stained nuclei in the group treated with the compound / number of stained nuclei in the group treated with Forskolin) × 100", using the group treated only with Forskolin as a reference with 100% viability.

[1306] Experimental Example 6: Inhibitory effect of novel compounds on CYP isoenzyme activity

[1307] The inhibitory effect on CYP isoenzyme activity by compounds prepared according to Examples 1 to 46 was confirmed. Specifically, human liver microsomes (0.25 mg / mL), 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4), a cocktail of substrate drugs of five drug-metabolizing enzymes (Phenacetin 50 μM, Diclofenac 10 μM, S-mephenytoin 100 μM, Dextromethorphan 5 μM, and Midazolam 2.5 μM), and compounds were added at concentrations of 0 or 10 μM, respectively, and pre-incubated at 37°C for 5 minutes. After adding the NADPH generation system solution, the mixture was further incubated at 37°C for 15 minutes. Afterwards, the reaction was terminated by adding an acetonitrile solution containing an internal standard (Terfenadine), and after centrifugation for 5 minutes (14,000 rpm, 4℃), the supernatant was injected into an LC-MS / MS system to simultaneously analyze metabolites of the substrate drug, thereby evaluating the drug-metabolizing enzyme inhibition ability.

[1308] The metabolites of each CYP isoenzyme marker drug generated through the above reaction were analyzed using a Shimadzu Nexera XR system and TSQ vantage (Thermo). The HPLC column used was a Kinetex C18 (2.1 × 100 mm, 2.6 μm, particle size; Phenomenex, USA), and the mobile phases used were (A) distilled water containing 0.1% formic acid and (B) acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid, and the gradient program shown in Table 6 below was applied.

[1314] Experimental Example 7: Pharmacokinetic Study of a Novel Compound

[1315] The pharmacokinetics of the compounds prepared according to Examples 1 to 46 were studied using an experimental animal model. Specifically, 7-8 week-old SD rats (Coatech, Hana Sangsa Co., Ltd.) weighing approximately 250 to 300 g were purchased and maintained in a small animal simple breeding room set at a temperature of 22±2℃, a relative humidity of 50±5%, a lighting period of 12 hours (lights on at 8:00 AM and lights off at 8:00 PM), and an illumination intensity of 150 to 300 lux. During the entire experimental period, feed and RO water were provided ad libitum, and fasting was performed for 16 hours before oral drug administration. After preparing the drugs under the conditions shown in Table 7 below, the drugs were administered intravenously (IV) or orally (PO). Blood transfusions were collected in 500 μL aliquots into tubes containing heparin sodium and centrifuged at 8,000 rpm for 6 minutes at 2 to 8°C to obtain plasma. Twenty μL of the obtained serum was added to 180 μL of acetonitrile containing an internal standard, vortexed, and centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 5 minutes at 4°C. The resulting supernatant was analyzed by LC-MS / MS. The HPLC and MS conditions used for the analysis are shown in Tables 8 and 9, respectively.

[1325] Experimental Example 8: Analysis of the cognitive function improvement effect of a novel compound in a tau genetically modified animal model (TauP301L-BiFC Tg mouse).

[1326] Compounds 6, 16, and 20 were orally administered five times a week at a concentration of 10 mg / kg to 8.2-month-old tau transgenic animal models (TauP301L-BiFC tg mice) for a total of 19 weeks (n=10 / group). The vehicle-treated group of TauP301L-BiFC mice and WT mice of similar age were used as controls. To confirm the effects of drug administration on cognitive and motor functions, three behavioral tests (Novel Objective Recognition test, Y-maze test, Balance beam test) were performed, and the results of these tests and each were as follows.

[1327] (1) Novel Objective Recognition test: To evaluate the object recognition memory ability of mice, they were allowed to explore two identical objects (Old-Old) for 10 minutes in a 40cmx40cm box. The next day, one object was replaced with a new object (Old-New) and the mice were allowed to explore for another 10 minutes. The time it took for the exploration behavior toward the existing object and the new object was measured. Mice with normal object recognition ability (Recognition index) took a long time to explore the new object, whereas mice with low object recognition ability could not distinguish the new object. The object recognition index values ​​were as follows. (RI, Vehicle= 0.48, ns, #20= 0.59, p<0.05, #6= 0.66, p<0.0001, #16= 0.58, p<0.05). In TauP301L-BiFC mice, the effects of drugs #20, #6, and #16 on improving object recognition function were confirmed compared to the vehicle group.

[1328] (2) Y-maze test: The Y-maze test was performed to evaluate the spatial working memory ability of mice. Video recordings were used to measure whether the mice spontaneously alternated between the three branches of the Y-maze for a certain period of time. An increase in the spontaneous alternation ratio was considered to indicate improved working memory ability. The spontaneous alternation ratios were as follows. (Alteration ratio (%), vehicle = 60.7%, #20 = 70.8%, p<0.05, #6 = 71.1%, p<0.05, #16 = 76.4%, p<0.001). In TauP301L-BiFC mice, the spatial working ability improvement effect of drugs #20, #6, and #16 was confirmed compared to the vehicle group.

[1329] (3) Balance beam test: The Balance beam test was performed to evaluate the balance and motor coordination ability of the mice. The time taken to pass through a bar that was 50 cm high and 80 cm long and the number of times the feet went out of the bar during the passage were measured. (Average time taken to pass the bar (sec), vehicle = 10.5 s, ##20 = 8.0 s, ns, #6 = 7.9 s, ns, #16 = 6.7 s, p<0.05), (Average number of times the feet went out of the bar (n), vehicle = 1.5, ##20 = 0.7, p<0.01, #6 = 1.1, ns, #16 = 0.8, p<0.05). The effects of drugs #20, #6, and #16 on improving balance and motor ability were confirmed in TauP301L-BiFC mice compared to the vehicle group.

[1330] The experimental process and results described above are shown in Figure 1.

[1331]

[1332] Experimental Example 9: Analysis of the effect of a novel compound on improving tau pathology in a tau genetically modified animal model (TauP301L-BiFC Tg mouse).

[1333] After oral administration of compounds 6, 16, and 20 and completion of behavioral experiments, 13.2-month-old TauP301L-BiFC mice were sacrificed, and [1] brain tissue was extracted and [2] brain lysate was purified.

[1334] [1] First, brain tissue extraction, BiFC fluorescence imaging of brain tissue, and immunofluorescence of tau phosphorylation antibodies were performed as follows. TauP301L-BiFC mice were perfused with 0.9% saline and fixed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 4% paraformaldehyde (pH 7.4). The brains were extracted and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS at 4°C for 48–72 hours. For cryoprotection, the brains were transferred to PBS containing 30% sucrose and stored at 4°C until they settled. For cryosectioning, the brains were frozen in OCT (Tissue-TEK) and serially sectioned using a brain tissue slicer. Tissue sections of 30 μm thickness were stored in 0.05% sodium azide in PBS at 4°C.

[1335] Brain tissue sections (n=10 per group) were mounted on slides and stained with Sudan Black B solution (70% ethanol containing 0.05% Sudan Black B) for 10 min to reduce autofluorescence, washed three times with PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100, and then washed with distilled water. For nuclear staining, brain tissue sections were stained with Hoechst (0.5 μg / mL) for 30 min. BiFC fluorescence (λ ex =460-490nm and λ em =500-550 nm) images were acquired. For quantitative analysis, the average BiFC-fluorescence intensity was measured in the somatosensory cortex (layer V) and hippocampal CA1, and the habenular region was used as a control region to reduce background fluorescence differences between brain samples. Regions of interest were marked using ImageJ software (NIH), and fluorescence intensity values ​​were calculated, and data are presented as the mean fluorescence intensity and standard deviation of brain tissue images of 10 mice per group.

[1336] Tau-BiFC fluorescence imaging results of four regions of total brain tissue (hippocampus (CA1), sensory cortex, cerebellum, and brainstem) showed that the levels of Tau-BiFC fluorescence, which are indicated by the formation of initial oligomers and aggregates of tau aggregation, were as follows.

[1337] (1) Hippocampus (CA1), vehicle = 100%, #20= 79%, p<0.05, #6= 80%, p<0.05, #16= 72%, p<0.001.

[1338] (2) Sensory cortex (SCTX), vehicle = 100%, #20= 72%, p<0.05, #6= 73%, p<0.05, #16= 66%, p<0.01.

[1339] (3) Cerebellum (CB), vehicle = 100%, #20= 64%, p<0.05, #6= 68%, ns, #16= 76%, ns

[1340] (4) Brain stem, vehicle = 100%, #20= 60%, p<0.05, #6= 62%, p<0.05, #16= 60%, p<0.05.

[1341] In TauP301L-BiFC mice, the inhibitory effects of compounds 6, 16, and 20 on tau oligomer formation and improvement of tau pathology compared to vehicle were confirmed, and this is shown in Figure 2.

[1342]

[1343] To measure the degree of tau phosphorylation seen in tau pathology as well as tau oligomer formation, immunofluorescence staining using a tau phosphorylation antibody was performed. For brain tissue immunofluorescence image analysis, brain tissue slices (n=10 per group) were stained with AT8 (pS202 / T205) antibody (1:200), and the primary antibody was detected using Alexa Flour 633-labeled anti-mouse secondary antibody (1:500). Fluorescence images (λ) were captured using an Axio Scan.Z1 (ZEISS). ex=620-640nm and λ em =650-700nm) was obtained.

[1344] The AT8 fluorescence imaging results of two brain tissue regions (hippocampus (CA1) and sensory cortex) were as follows.

[1345] (1) Hippocampus (CA1), vehicle = 100%, #20= 72%, p<0.01, #6= 81%, p<0.05, #16= 76%, p<0.01.

[1346] (2) Sensory cortex (SCTX), vehicle = 100%, #20= 54%, p<0.0001, #6= 63%, p<0.001, #16= 57%, p<0.0001.

[1347] In TauP301L-BiFC mice, the improvement of tau pathology through inhibition of tau phosphorylation by compounds 6, 16, and 20 compared to vehicle was confirmed, and this is shown in Figure 3.

[1348]

[1349] [2] To verify the tau pathology inhibitory efficacy of the drug confirmed through brain tissue imaging, the brain lysate was purified and immunoblotted using a tau antibody on the soluble and insoluble fractions. The brain was weighed, and RIPA lysis buffer containing the corresponding dose of protease and phosphatase inhibitors was added to the brain tissue. The tissue was then homogenized, incubated at 4°C for 2 hours, and centrifuged at 13,200 rpm for 20 minutes at 4°C. After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected as the RIPA-soluble fraction and stored at -80°C. To prepare the RIPA-insoluble fraction, the remaining pellet was washed once with RIPA lysis buffer containing 1 M sucrose, then incubated with 2% SDS solution (1 mL per 1 g of tissue) at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was then centrifuged at 13,200 rpm for 1 min at room temperature, and the supernatant was collected as the RIPA-insoluble fraction and stored at -80°C.

[1350] For tau immunoblot analysis, 20 μg of RIPA-soluble brain tissue samples were separated on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to PVDF membranes. RIPA-insoluble samples were diluted 10-fold in 2% SDS solution, and 20 μL of each sample was loaded onto an SDS-PAGE gel. Total and phosphorylated tau levels were detected with anti-tau antibody Tau5 and anti-phosphorylated tau antibodies pS199 and pS396. Band intensities were quantified using ImageJ software (NIH).

[1351] The results of two types of tau phosphorylation immunoblots using RIPA-soluble brain lysates were as follows.

[1352] (1) pS199: vehicle = 100%, #20= 60%, p<0.05, #6= 48%, p<0.01, #16= 24%, p<0.001.

[1353] (2) pS396: vehicle = 100%, #20= 71%, p<0.05, #6= 60%, p<0.01, #16= 40%, p<0.001.

[1354] Immunoblot results using brain lysates from TauP301L-BiFC mice confirmed the improvement of tau pathology through inhibition of tau phosphorylation by compounds 6, 16, and 20 compared to vehicle in the soluble fraction.

[1355] Total tau immunoblot results using RIPA-insoluble brain lysate were as follows.

[1356] Total tau (Tau5): vehicle = 100%, #20= 23%, p<0.0001, #6= 14%, p<0.0001, #16= 20%, p<0.0001.

[1357] Immunoblot results using brain lysates from TauP301L-BiFC mice confirmed the improvement of tau pathology through inhibition of insoluble tau aggregate formation by compounds 6, 16, and 20 compared to vehicle in the insoluble fraction.

[1358] The results of the above experiment are shown in Fig. 4.
