[0095] The animal and human liver microsomes used in this test system were purchased from Xenotech, Corning or other qualified suppliers and stored in a freezer below -60°C before use.

[0096] Experiment Introduction:

[0097] Test and control compounds were incubated with animal and human liver microsomes at 37 ± 1°C for a specified period of time, with a maximum incubation time of 60 minutes. Samples were removed at designated time points and the reaction was terminated with acetonitrile or other organic solvent containing an internal standard. After centrifugation, the resulting supernatant was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS).

[0098] Experimental methods:

[0099] 1. Preparation of buffer

[0100] Dissolve 73.21 g of dipotassium phosphate trihydrate and 10.78 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in 4000 mL of ultrapure water. Adjust the pH of the solution to 7.40 ± 0.10 using 10% phosphoric acid or 1 M potassium hydroxide, with a final concentration of 100 mM.

[0101] 2. Preparation of working solution

[0102] The test sample powder is prepared into a stock solution of a certain concentration using DMSO or other organic solvents, and then further diluted with a suitable organic solvent.

[0103] The control compounds testosterone, diclofenac, and propafenone were prepared as 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO and then further diluted in appropriate organic solvents.

[0104] 3. Preparation of Liver Microsome Solution

[0105] Dilute each microsome to a 2x working solution using 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer. The final concentration of microsomes in the reaction system is 0.5 mg / mL.

[0106] 4. Preparation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) regeneration system

[0107] Weigh an appropriate amount of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) and isocitrate (ISO) powder, dissolve in magnesium chloride solution, and vortex to mix thoroughly. Add an appropriate amount of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and gently invert the solution to mix thoroughly. The final concentrations in the reaction system are: 1 mM NADP, 1 mM magnesium chloride, 6 mM ISO, and 1 unit / mL IDH.

[0108] 5. Preparation of Stop Solution

[0109] The stop solution is prepared with acetonitrile or other organic solvent containing an internal standard (tolbutamide or other suitable compound) and stored in a refrigerator at 2-8°C.

[0110] 6. Incubation Process

[0111] Incubations will be performed in 96-well plates. Prepare eight incubation plates, designated T0, T5, T15, T30, T45, T60, Blank60, and NCF60. The first six plates correspond to reaction time points of 0, 5, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes, respectively. In the Blank60 plate, no test or control compound is added, and a sample is taken after 60 minutes of incubation. In the NCF60 plate, potassium phosphate buffer is used instead of the NADPH regeneration system solution and incubated for 60 minutes. All conditions are replicated in triplicate.

[0112] Mix the microsomes with the test article or control compound, then preincubate the Blank60, T5, T15, T30, T45, and T60 plates (excluding T0 and NCF60) in a 37°C waterbath for approximately 10 minutes. Add the stop solution to the T0 plate, followed by the NADPH regeneration system working solution. In the NCF60 plate, 98 μL of potassium phosphate buffer was added to each well to initiate the reaction. After the preincubation period, 98 μL of the NADPH regeneration system working solution was added to each well of the Blank60, T5, T15, T30, T45, and T60 plates to initiate the reaction. The reaction temperature was 37 ± 1°C, and the final reaction volume was 200 μL. The reaction system contained 0.5 mg / mL microsomes, 1.0 μM substrate, 1 mM NADP, 6 mM ISO, and 1 unit / mL IDH.

[0113] The reaction was terminated by adding cold stop solution containing internal standard to the reaction plate at 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes, respectively.

[0114] All reaction plates were shaken and centrifuged at 3220 × g for 20 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was diluted to a certain ratio and then analyzed by LC-MS / MS.

[0115] Sample analysis

[0116] Sample analysis was performed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) without a standard curve or quality control samples. Semiquantitative determination was performed using the ratio of the analyte peak area to the internal standard peak area. Analyst software (Sciex, Framingham, Massachusetts, USA) was used for analyte and internal standard retention times, chromatogram acquisition, and chromatogram integration.

[0117] The CV of the internal standard peak area in each matrix should be within 20% for each analytical run.

[0118] Data Analysis

[0119] The in vitro elimination rate constant ke of the compound was obtained by converting the ratio of the compound to the internal standard peak area into a residual rate using the following formula:

[0120] CLint(mic) = 0.693 / T1 / 2 / microsomal protein content (microsomal concentration during incubation mg / mL)

[0121] CLint(liver) = CLint(mic) × amount of microsomal protein in the liver (mg / g) × liver weight to body weight ratio

[0122] According to the wellstir model, the hepatic intrinsic clearance and hepatic clearance can be converted using the following formula.

[0123] CL(liver)=(CLint(liver)*Qh) / (CLint(liver)+Qh)

[0124] The parameters in the formula are shown in Table 7 below.

[0128] Experimental Example 5: Pharmacokinetic Test in Mice

[0129] In this experiment, the pharmacokinetic behavior of the test compound was investigated in BALB / c mice after intravenous (IV) and oral (PO) administration.

[0130] On the day of administration, the actual body weight of the mice was weighed and the administration volume was calculated. There were 3 mice in each group, and the compound was tested in two groups, one group was administered with a single intravenous injection, and the other group of mice was administered with a single oral gavage. Whole blood samples were collected at the specified time (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 24h after administration) by orbital bleeding. After blood sample collection, it was immediately transferred to a labeled commercial sample tube containing K2-EDTA (0.85-1.15mg), followed by centrifugation (3200xg, 4°C, 10 minutes) and plasma was collected. The plasma was transferred to a pre-cooled centrifuge tube, quick-frozen in dry ice, and then stored in an ultra-low temperature freezer at -60°C or lower until LC-MS / MS analysis.

[0131] Plasma concentrations were determined using LC-MS / MS. Plasma drug concentration data for the compound of Formula (I) were analyzed using WinNonlin Version 6.3 (Pharsight, Mountain View, CA) pharmacokinetic software using a non-compartmental model. The relevant pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using the linear-log trapezoidal method. The results are shown in Table 9.

After blood sample collection, it was immediately transferred to a labeled commercial sample tube containing K2-EDTA (0.85-1.15 mg), followed by centrifugation (3200xg, 4°C, 10 minutes) and plasma was collected. The plasma was transferred to a pre-cooled centrifuge tube, quick-frozen in dry ice, and then stored in an ultra-low temperature freezer at -60°C or lower until LC-MS / MS analysis. 20 μL of plasma sample or brain tissue homogenate was added to 80 μL of internal standard solution (50 ng / mL propafenone in acetonitrile), the plate was sealed with a film sealer at 165°C, oscillated with a micro-oscillator (maximum vibration speed) for 10 minutes, and centrifuged at 4000 rpm in a low-speed desktop centrifuge for 20 minutes. 10 μL of the supernatant was removed and added to 90 μL of acetonitrile. After vortex mixing, the plate was sealed with a film sealer at 165°C. After vortex mixing, 1 μL of the supernatant was taken for LC-MS / MS analysis. The plasma drug concentration data of the compound were processed using WinNonlin Version 6.3 (Pharsight, Mountain View, CA) pharmacokinetic software using a non-compartmental model. The relevant pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using the linear logarithmic trapezoidal method. The experimental results are shown in Table 10.
