Description

A compound containing a quinolinone skeleton and its application Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to a compound containing a quinolinone skeleton and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The endocannabinoid system (ECS) consists of cannabinoid receptors (CB1, CB2), endocannabinoid ligands (arachidonic acid ethanolamine AEA, 2-arachidonic acid glyceride 2-AG), and cannabinoid ligand hydrolases. CB receptors are the main targets of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the plant cannabis, and have the functions of inhibiting adenylate cyclase activity, activating potassium ion channels, and inhibiting voltage-gated calcium ion channels. The endocannabinoid 2-AG is a full agonist of CB1 and CB2 receptors, which is activated by phospholipid precursors through Ca 2+ Dependent mechanism "on demand" synthesis: Ca 2+ The influx activates phospholipase C (PLC), which hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol (PI) into diacylglycerol (DAG). 2-AG is then generated from DAG by diacylglycerol lipase (DAGL). When 2-AG activates CB receptors on target cells, it is taken up and degraded, terminating the signaling pathway. Monoacylglycerol esterase (MAGL) is responsible for 85% of 2-AG hydrolysis, generating arachidonic acid (AA) and glycerol. AA is then metabolized by downstream hydrolases to produce inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins.

[0003] MAGL is responsible for hydrolyzing 2-AG to produce AA and glycerol and is involved in signal transduction of the endocannabinoid system. MAGL is highly expressed in the brain, adipose tissue, liver, and intestine. Within the brain, MAGL is expressed in the hippocampus, amygdala, and cerebellum. Endocannabinoid signaling plays an important role in these tissues. Therefore, inhibiting MAGL is a promising target for central nervous system disorders, pain, or liver diseases.

[0162] Biological activity testing of compounds

[0163] Example 17 Determination of MAGL inhibitory activity

[0164] 1. Test Principle: Cayman's MAGL Inhibitor Screening Kit provides a simple and efficient method for screening compounds for inhibitory activity against human MAGL. MAGL hydrolyzes an alternative substrate (ethyl 4-nitrophenylacetate in place of 2-AG) to produce a yellow product (4-nitrophenol), which has a maximum absorption at 405-412 nm. The absorbance at this wavelength is measured to quantify the amount of 4-nitrophenol in the hydrolysis product, thereby characterizing enzyme activity.

[0165] 2. Preparation of reagents

[0180] Example 18 Determination of 2-AG concentration in the brain

[0181] ICR male mice (3 / group) were used. The test compound IV-23 was dissolved in 10% DMSO, 10% Tween 80, and 80% normal saline to prepare a dosing solution. The dose of the test compound was prepared at 10 mg / kg, and the dosing volume was 10 ml / kg. The test compound was administered by gavage. After administration of the test compound, the brain was separated at 60 min, 120 min, 240 min, and 480 min, and the cerebral hemispheres were extracted (the control was separated at 0 min). The obtained cerebral hemispheres were frozen on dry ice, and the weight of the frozen tissue was measured. About 100 mg of brain tissue was weighed and homogenized with 9 times the volume of normal saline. After homogenization, the mixture was centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant was divided into aliquots. Each tube was about 50 microliters. The 2-AG concentration in the brain was determined by the Elisa method.

[0182] The results of brain 2-AG concentrations are shown in Table 3, with the unit being ng / g.

[0183] Table 3

[0184] As can be seen from Table 3, compound IV-23 was transferred to the brain by oral administration to ICR male mice. Compared with the control group, these compounds significantly increased the concentration of 2-AG in the brain, and showed significant differences at 60min, 120min, and 240min (p<0.05), indicating that IV-23 acts on the MAGL target, causing an increase in the level of 2-AG in the brain.

[0187] (1) Mobile phase solution: Take 500 mL of Wahaha water, add 2.5 mL of formic acid to it to prepare an aqueous solution containing 0.5% formic acid, mix well, and degas by ultrasonication for 20 minutes.

[0188] (2) Preparation of stock solution: Accurately weigh 2.0 mg of compound IV-23 and dissolve it in water to make a stock solution of 200.0 μg / mL in 10 mL. Accurately weigh 2.0 mg of imipramine hydrochloride and dissolve it in water to make a stock solution of 200.0 μg / mL in 10 mL. Dilute it to 3.000 μg / mL with methanol as the internal standard working solution and store it in a refrigerator at 4°C until use.

[0189] (3) Preparation of standard curve samples: Dilute the IV-23 stock solution with methanol to a series of standard solutions of 30,000, 15,000, 7,500, 3,000, 1,500, 300.0, and 30.00 ng / mL. Accurately pipette 10 μL of the above series of standard solutions, add 50 μL of blank SD rat plasma, add 10 μL of internal standard working solution, mix well, and add 230 μL of methanol.

[0194] As can be seen from Table 4, compound IV-23 has a higher plasma exposure and a longer half-life under different administration methods of intravenous injection and gavage, indicating that compound IV-23 has good pharmacokinetic properties.

[0195] Example 20 Determination of the antidepressant effect of the compound on depressed mice

[0196] ICR male mice were used. After 1 week of adaptation, 12 mice were randomly divided into blank controls and raised normally; the remaining 70 mice were placed in 50 ml centrifuge tubes (with a hole at the end of the tube for the mice to breathe) and restrained for 4 to 8 hours per day, increasing from 4 hours per day to 8.5 hours per day, for 30 consecutive days.

[0197] Model determination:

[0198] The tail suspension test was used to determine whether the mice had adapted to the model (to evaluate the despair behavior of the mice): the posterior 1 / 3 of the mouse's tail was fixed with tape and hung on a stand with the head 15 cm above the ground. The mice were videotaped after 2 minutes of adaptation, and the immobility time of the mice within 4 minutes was counted.

[0199] Grouping and drug administration:

[0200] After model establishment, mice were divided into a model group, a positive drug group (fluoxetine, 8 mg / kg), a low-dose compound IV-23 group (4 mg / kg), and a high-dose compound IV-23 group (8 mg / kg), based on the immobility time during the tail suspension test. Each group consisted of 6-8 mice. The compound was formulated with 10% DMSO, 40% PEG 400, 5% Tween 80, and 45% saline. The administration volume was 10 ml / kg. Dosage was continued for 7 consecutive days. After 7 days, behavioral tests including the tail suspension test, open field test, forced swim test, and sugar preference test were performed.

[0201] The results are shown in Table 5. As shown in Table 5, intraperitoneal injection of compound IV-23 for 7 consecutive days can significantly improve the depressive-like behavior of ICR depressed mice caused by chronic restraint.

[0203] Example 21 Determination of the in vitro anti-nonalcoholic fatty liver effect of the compound

[0204] 1. Instruments and Materials

[0205] (1) Cells and reagents: Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 cells were purchased from the Shanghai Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; fetal bovine serum was purchased from Solebo Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; DMEM high glucose medium, 0.25% trypsin solution, and PBS solution were purchased from Nanjing Key Biotechnology Development Co., Ltd.; DMSO, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and Oil Red O were purchased from Guangdong Xilong Chemical Co., Ltd.

[0206] (2) Main instruments: MULTISKAN MK3 fully automatic microplate reader (Thermo Scientific), vortex shaker (QL-902); centrifuge, BT224 electronic balance (Sartouris, Germany); HB-202 constant temperature water bath (Zhongxi Yuanda, Beijing); BX51 upright microscope (Olympus, Japan); other equipment and instruments include centrifuge tubes, pipettes, straws, etc.

[0207] 2. Experimental methods:

[0208] (1) Cell culture method

[0209] HepG2 cells were seeded in DMEM high-glucose medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and allowed to adhere to the culture medium. Cultured in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO₂ saturated humidity. Depending on cell growth, cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin every 1-2 days for subculture.

[0210] (2) Effect of compound IV-23 on free fatty acid-induced NASH model in HepG2 cells

[0211] HepG2 cells were cultured in 96-well plates. After cell attachment reached 60-70%, they were co-stimulated with free fatty acids (palmitic acid:oleic acid at a molar ratio of 1:2) and varying concentrations of the test drug (Compound IV-23) for 24 hours. Three parallel wells were set up, divided into a blank group, a model group, and a drug-treated group. The blank group was replaced with blank DMEM, while the drug-treated groups were treated with DMEM at concentrations of 5μM and 10μM, respectively.

[0212] (3) Oil Red O staining to observe intracellular lipid droplets

[0213] Oil Red O staining procedures are as follows: cells were washed three times with PBS, fixed with 10% neutral formaldehyde for 30 minutes, washed twice with PBS, stained with Oil Red O at 37°C, incubated for 1 hour at 37°C, discarded the stain, and washed twice with PBS. Under a microscope, neutral lipids within cells are specifically stained red, allowing observation of lipid accumulation in cells.

[0214] 3. Experimental results: Oil red O staining to observe the effect of compound IV-23 on NASH cell model

[0215] The Oil Red O staining results of compound IV-23 are shown in Figure 1. It can be seen that compared with untreated cells, HepG2 cells exposed to free fatty acids (model group) showed higher intracellular lipid accumulation. After treatment with compound IV-23, the aggregation of lipid droplets in HepG2 cells was significantly inhibited. This shows that the compound IV-23 prepared by the present invention can significantly inhibit the lipid accumulation induced by free fatty acids in a dose-dependent manner at 5μM and 10μM, and has the effect of treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

[0216] Example 22 Determination of the Anti-Parkinson's Disease Effect of Compounds in Vivo

[0217] 1. Experimental Methods: Mice were acclimated for 1 week. Five animals were randomly selected from the normal group, not treated, and housed normally. Mice in the remaining four groups were intraperitoneally injected with the solvent or drug once on the first day and with MPTP (15 mg / kg, once every 2 hours, for a total of 4 injections) on the second day. The solvent or drug was injected 1 hour after the second MPTP injection. On the third day, the solvent or drug was injected intraperitoneally once. Behavioral testing was performed 2 hours after drug administration.

[0218] 2. Behavioral Experiment - Rotarod Test: The apparatus was placed 50 cm above the ground. A digital timer was located at the bottom of each partition; when an animal fell, the time was recorded. Mice were trained on the apparatus for a fixed period of time. The rotarod rotated at a speed of 20 rpm. The animals' grip strength was assessed using a rotarod. Mice were trained for two consecutive days before dosing. Behavioral testing used a 7-cm diameter rotating rod at a speed of 20 rpm, with a cutoff time of 180 s.

[0219] 3. Experimental Results: As shown in Figure 2, the average time for the blank mice on the rotarod was 59.26 seconds, while that for the model group was 24.1 seconds, showing significant differences from the blank group and indicating successful model development. The average time for the positive drug JZL184 group was 46.75 seconds, demonstrating some therapeutic effect, but not significantly different from the model group. The average time for the IV-23 (10 mg / kg) group was 53.82 seconds, also significantly different from the model group, indicating that IV-23 (10 mg / kg) significantly improved the motor function of Parkinson's mice.

[0220] Example 23 Determination of the Effect of Compounds on Cholestatic Liver Injury

[0221] 1. Experimental methods:

[0222] (1) Eighteen C57BL / 6J male mice were randomly divided into three groups (n=6) according to body weight after one week of adaptive feeding: control group, model group (0.1% DDC), and IV-26-treated group (12 mg / kg + 0.1% DDC). The control group was fed with normal feed, and the other groups were fed with feed containing 0.1% DDC for 2 weeks. After feeding with feed containing 0.1% DDC for one week, the mice in the treated group were intraperitoneally injected with IV-26 (12 mg / kg, 10 mL / kg) every day for one week, and the control group and the 0.1% DDC group were injected with solvent (10 mL / kg) in the same way for one week. One hour after the last administration, the mice were bled from their orbits, sacrificed, and their livers were dissected. After washing with physiological saline, the surface moisture was absorbed, and the liver lobules were carefully separated and fixed in formalin fixative. The remaining liver was stored at -80 degrees.

[0223] (2) After the blood sample was allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, it was centrifuged at 3000 rpm / min for 10 minutes at 4 degrees Celsius. The upper serum sample was collected and the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT / GPT) and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were detected according to the kit instructions.

[0224] (3) Histopathological examination of mouse liver: The fixed mouse liver tissue was fixed with formalin solution for 24 hours, dehydrated with alcohol, embedded in paraffin, and cut into 5 μm thick sections. The prepared sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin dyes. The sections after HE staining were dehydrated, transparentized, and mounted for observation under a microscope to record the liver tissue pathology.

[0225] 2. Experimental results:

[0226] (1) Effects of IV-26 on serum biochemical parameters in mice with DDC-induced cholestatic liver injury

[0227] Serum ALT and ALP levels are important indicators of liver function and can directly reflect the extent of liver damage. The experimental results, shown in Figure 3, show that compared with the control group, serum ALT and ALP levels in the DDC group were significantly increased, indicating that the livers of mice in the DDC group were severely damaged and that a cholestatic liver injury model was successfully established. Compared with the DDC group, serum ALT and ALP levels in the IV-26-treated group were both reduced. These results demonstrate that the test drug IV-26 significantly ameliorates DDC-induced cholestatic liver injury.

[0228] (2) Effects of IV-26 on liver histopathological changes in mice with DDC-induced cholestatic liver injury

[0229] Pathological changes in the mouse livers were observed microscopically after HE staining. The results are shown in Figure 4. The liver cells in the control group were intact and tightly arranged, with normal structures. The DDC group showed significant inflammatory cell infiltration, hepatocellular necrosis, and morphological changes. Compared with the DDC group, the IV-26-treated group improved liver damage, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, and alleviated hepatocellular necrosis. These results demonstrate that IV-26 ameliorates the histopathological changes in DDC-induced cholestatic liver injury.
