Description

Phenylaminopropanamide derivatives and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same

[0001] The present invention relates to a phenylaminopropanamide derivative and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, which can be used as an MAO-B inhibitor and for the prevention or treatment of diseases induced by oxidative stress.

[0002] Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. It is estimated that approximately 6.3 million people worldwide develop the disease, affecting approximately 1 in 1,000 people. While it typically occurs more frequently in older adults, it is now also affecting younger individuals. Because Parkinson's disease progresses slowly, it is difficult to distinguish from other conditions, making early detection challenging. Clinically, it is characterized by unusual symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, postural instability, stooped posture, freezing of gait, depression, sleep disturbances, urinary incontinence, and dementia.

[0003] Although the cause of Parkinson's disease is unknown, it is known to be a disease caused by a deficiency of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is caused by the destruction of nerve cells in the brain that secrete it. The most widely developed and used medication is levodopa therapy, which is commonly administered by administering levodopa, which is converted to dopamine in the body. While levodopa is the most effective treatment for Parkinson's disease, it can sometimes cause a decrease in drug-related effects or various movement disorders during treatment. Other medications used include COMT inhibitors and MAO-B inhibitors, which work to maintain dopamine concentration in the brain by inhibiting dopamine metabolism.

[0004] MAO-B plays a crucial role in dopamine metabolism in the brain and is known to suppress neuronal damage. While there is no clear evidence that MAO-B inhibitors actually slow the progression of Parkinson's disease, it is known to play a key role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease caused by MPTP or similar environmental toxins, and inhibiting MAO-B is known to have a protective effect against dopaminergic neuronal degeneration or death. Furthermore, animal and clinical studies have shown that MAO-B inhibitors, unlike other drugs, have a brain-protective effect.

[0005] The most representative approved MAO-B inhibitor is selegiline, prescribed as a treatment for Parkinson's disease. However, it is metabolized into amphetamine in the body when taken, causing liver toxicity. As an irreversible inhibitor, it carries various side effects. Azilect, containing rasagiline, was first marketed in Israel in 2005 and has recently been released in over 50 countries, including Europe and the United States. Azilect has no amphetamine side effects and is said to be more effective than other dopaminergic drugs. However, rasagiline, like selegiline, is an irreversible MAO-B inhibitor. While it exhibits excellent MAO-B inhibition, it also carries safety concerns. Therefore, drugs that are both effective and reversibly inhibit activity are being developed to address these shortcomings. However, no notable reversible inhibitors are currently available.

[0006]

[0007] Oxidative stress is a representative cause of diseases that appear in humans living in a rapidly changing modern society, and is caused by pollutants, pollutants, bad eating habits, or mental stress.

[0008] Cytochrome P450 (hereinafter referred to as CYP) is an enzyme involved in drug metabolism, such as breaking down substrates such as drugs absorbed from outside the cell. It is distributed evenly throughout body cells, mainly existing in the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Cytochrome P450 is not a single form, but a complex form composed of several isoenzymes with different molecular structures, such as CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A. The activities of these CYP isoenzymes show various differences between individuals. This difference in enzyme activity between individuals is mainly due to various genetic polymorphisms, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and acquired factors such as food, cytokines, hormones, and various drugs are also related. These differences in CYP isoenzyme activity reflect individual differences in blood drug concentrations and can lead to serious adverse effects, depending on the drug type. Therefore, assessing the activity of CYP isoenzymes can be applied not only in academic fields such as drug interaction studies and genotype-based phenotype studies, but also in industrial applications such as new drug development.

[0016] The present invention aims to provide a novel phenylaminopropanamide derivative, a method for preparing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same.

[0017] In addition, the present invention seeks to use a pharmaceutical composition comprising the novel phenylaminopropanamide derivative for the prevention or treatment of diseases induced by MAO-B inhibitors and oxidative stress.

[0018] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a phenylamino propanamide derivative represented by the following chemical formulas 1 and 2.

[0031] The novel phenylaminopropanamide derivative of the present invention has an excellent effect of selectively inhibiting MAO-B and has excellent CYP enzyme activity, and thus can be used for the prevention or treatment of diseases related thereto, more specifically, diseases induced by oxidative stress.

[0032] The present inventors have developed KDS2010, a new, selective candidate substance that reversibly binds to the active site of MAO-B to minimize the side effects of existing drugs and minimizes off-target activity that causes other neurological side effects besides the target.

[0033] The candidate substance KDS2010 was confirmed to be able to continuously improve cognitive function over a long period of time by not activating the in vivo alternative mechanism even when administered long-term. Furthermore, when administered to genetically modified experimental mice with Alzheimer's disease, cognitive function was restored through various behavioral experiments. Furthermore, a long-term administration test at a low dose also confirmed superior cognitive function improvement efficacy. Clinical trials are currently underway, and to enable rapid entry into global clinical trials, it is necessary to identify backup compounds for the candidate substance and expand research into other indications. To minimize clinical risks, the inventors are conducting research to identify backup compounds with excellent MAO-B inhibition. A total of 37 backup compounds were synthesized, and optimization was required to identify a representative backup compound with inhibitory efficacy and pharmacological activity comparable to KDS2010.

[0034]

[0035] The figure below shows that the number of carbon atoms in the A portion of candidate material KDS2010 is 1 or 2, but in the present invention, the number of carbon atoms in that portion is limited to 0.

[0180] <Experimental Example 2: Evaluation of CYP activity inhibition>

[0181] The CYP enzyme inhibition ability was tested for the same 7 compounds as in Experimental Example 1 above to evaluate pharmacological activity, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0182] To confirm the applicability of compounds according to embodiments of the present invention as drugs for actual in vivo administration, CYP activity inhibition was determined. Specifically, for the compounds of the present invention, activity inhibition was evaluated using the P450-Glo™ Assays (Promega) kit targeting five isoenzymes, 2C19, 2D6, 2C9, 1A2, and 3A4, which are reported to account for more than 90% of total metabolism by CYP.

[0183] The 10 mM compound was diluted 250-fold in luciferin-free water and 12.5 μL was added to a 96-well white plate. Each CYP isoenzyme and corresponding substrate were mixed in a potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) to prepare a 4-fold concentrated CYP reaction solution (for 1A2, 0.5 pmol 1A2, 400 mM potassium phosphate, 400 μM luciferin-ME; for 2C9, 0.5 pmol 2C9, 100 mM potassium phosphate, 400 μM luciferin-H; for 2C19, 0.25 pmol 2C19, 200 mM potassium phosphate, 40 μM luciferin-H EGE; for 2D6, 0.25 pmol 2D6, 400 mM potassium phosphate, 120 μM luciferin-ME EGE; for 3A4, 0.1 pmol 3A4, 400 mM potassium phosphate, Luciferin-IPA 12 μM) was prepared and 12.5 μL was added to a 96-well plate and pre-incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. After that, 25 μL of NADPH generation system solution was added and reacted at 37°C for the incubation time according to the CYP isozyme (10 minutes for 1A2 and 3A4, 20 minutes for 2C19, and 30 minutes for 2C9 and 2D6). Then, 50 μL of luciferin detection reagent was added and incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes under light protection. Luminescence signals were measured using a SpectraMax®i3 microplate reader from Molecular Devices, and well-known inhibitors for each CYP isoenzyme (lansoprazole for 2C19, quinidine for 2D6, sulfaphenazole for 2C9, α-naphtoflavone for 1A2, and ketoconazole for 3A4) were used as positive controls.The activity inhibition capacity for each CYP isoenzyme was converted into % activity relative to the negative control group to which the compounds were not added.
