Abstract
Description
C17 nitrogen-substituted and methylene-substituted oleanane triterpene derivatives and their preparation method and use Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biology and medical technology, and in particular to oleanane triterpene derivatives with nitrogen substitution and methylene substitution at the C17 position, as well as preparation methods and uses thereof. Background Art
[0002] [Corrected 10.03.2025 according to Rule 26] Current research shows that Keap-Nrf2-ARE has a protective effect on cells and is one of the important pathways for the body to maintain redox balance and eliminate the damaging effects of toxic and harmful substances. It plays a vital role in anti-stress, anti-apoptosis, anti-inflammatory response and neuroprotection. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress are associated with the occurrence of many diseases and have therefore become a research hotspot in recent years. Currently, the structures of Nrf2 agonists are mostly derived from the oleanolic acid triterpenoid nucleus, such as 2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleanolic-1,9(11)-diene-28-acid (CDDO), methyl bardoxolone (CDDO-Me; RTA402) and Omaveloxolone (RTA408). However, these molecules only focus on inflammatory treatment through Nrf2 agonism, and have the characteristics of poor inhibitory activity and poor specificity. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop new Nrf2-Leap1 uncouplers with both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Summary of the Invention

[0247] Reagents: Opti-MEM serum-free medium; PEI 40000 transfection reagent; DMEM complete medium.
[0248] Equipment: Cx7Pro high-content rapid imaging platform, etc.
[0249] For each well of cells, dilute 360 ng of Nrf2 phase change probe plasmid with 10 μL of Opti-MEM serum-free medium (Cienry), mix thoroughly to form a DNA dilution solution, and let it stand for 5 minutes. Then, dilute 0.6 μL of PEI 40000 transfection reagent (YEASEN) with 10 μL of Opti-MEM serum-free medium, mix thoroughly to form a PEI 40000 dilution solution, and let it stand for 5 minutes. After mixing the DNA dilution solution and PEI 40000 dilution solution, incubate at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the formation of the DNA-PEI cationic nucleic acid transfection reagent complex. Remove 20 μL of cell growth medium and add 20 μL of the DNA-PEI cationic nucleic acid transfection reagent complex to each well. Shake the culture plate gently to mix. Cells were cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. One hour after transfection, 75 μL of cell growth medium was removed and 75 μL of fresh, prewarmed DMEM (Meilunbio) was added to each well, maintaining a medium volume of 100 μL per well. Eighteen hours after transfection, serially diluted drug (0.0625 nM, 0.125 nM, 0.25 nM, 0.5 nM, 1 nM, 2 nM, 4 nM, 8 nM, 16 nM, 32 nM, 128 nM) was first mixed with prewarmed DMEM. 100 μL of this serially diluted drug medium was then added to each well, bringing the final volume to 200 μL. Six hours after drug addition, 16 randomly selected fields of view per well were imaged using a Cx7Pro high-content rapid imaging platform (Thermo Fisher) at a 20x magnification lens. The number of transfected cells was determined by determining the location of the cell nucleus using the independently expressed NLS-mTagBFP2 in the probe. Calculate the total fluorescence intensity of the Nrf2 phase transition probe phase transition. Count the total fluorescence intensity of the Nrf2 phase transition probe phase transition "droplets" in each cell.

[0264] Test method:
[0265] First, brain tissue homogenate was prepared: an adult male Sprague-Dawley rat was anesthetized with isoflurane and sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The whole brain was removed and washed twice in DPBS. The meninges were stripped and transferred to a 50-mL centrifuge tube containing 10 mL of DPBS. The brain was minced with scissors and divided into ten 1.5-mL centrifuge tubes. Three grinding beads were added to each tube and the mixture was ground at 90 Hz for 60 minutes three times. The ground tissue homogenate was transferred to a fresh 50-mL centrifuge tube, DPBS was added to a total volume of 30 mL, and the mixture was mixed. Next, 20 μL of the test compound was added to a 96-well plate and serially diluted 1:3 in DMSO. Then, 100 μL of brain tissue homogenate, 50 μL of DPBS, and 50 μL of 200 μg / mL vitamin C were added, along with a series of concentration standards as a standard curve. After shaking, the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. Then, 400 μL of MDA working solution was added and the mixture was heated at 100°C for 15 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, centrifuge at 1000g for 10 minutes, aspirate 200μL of supernatant into another new plate, and detect the absorbance at 532nm using a microplate reader. The MDA clearance rate of the compound was calculated by the following formula: MDA clearance rate % = [((A1-A0)-(A2-A0)) / ((A1-A0)-(A3-A0))]*100%, where A1 refers to the absorbance value of the high control group, A2 refers to the sample absorbance value, A3 refers to the low control group absorbance value, and A0 refers to the blank group absorbance value. The data were processed using XLfit5.3.1.3 software, and the IC value of the compound was obtained using a nonlinear fitting formula. 50 The results are shown in Table 3.

[0271] HT-1080 cells (Cat. No. CCL-121, Shanghai Cell Bank, purchased from ATCC) were plated in six-well plates at 4 × 10⁵ / well for 22 hours. HT-1080 cells were treated with a gradient of compound concentrations (1.37 nM to 333 nM, a total of six concentrations) for 1 hour beforehand. The classic ferroptosis inducer RSL3 (Cat. No. HY-100218A, MCE, USA) was then treated with 200 nM for 16 hours. mRNA was extracted and reverse-transcribed into cDNA, and PTGS2 mRNA levels were measured by qRT-PCR (ABI7500, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 (Cat. No. HY-100579, MCE, USA) was used as a positive control.
[0272] 3) Experimental results:
[0273] The IC value of each drug was calculated using the log(agonist) vs. response--Variable slope (four parameters) analysis method in GraphPadPrism. 50 , the results are shown in Table 4.
[0274] Table 4 Interventional effects of the compounds of the present invention on the ferroptosis process
[0275] The results showed that compounds 26, 27, 28 and 29 prepared in the present invention can inhibit ferroptosis, while Omaveloxolone has no such activity.
[0276] The above-mentioned pharmacological experiments demonstrate that the preferred NRF2-Keap1 compounds prepared by the present invention, such as 26, 27, 28, 29, etc., not only maintain Nrf2 agonist activity similar to that of the marketed Nrf2 agonist Omaveloxolone, but also increase the effects of scavenging DPPH free radicals, inhibiting the production of lipid peroxides MDA, or intervening in ferroptosis.
[0277] At the same time, biological in vivo tests have shown that the compounds of the present invention have significant effects on a variety of diseases, including cerebral small vessel disease, mitochondrial encephalopathy, autism spectrum disorder, Rett syndrome, Friedreich's ataxia, stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, schizophrenia, schizophrenia cognitive impairment, Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, epilepsy, Huntington's disease, heart failure, myocardial infarction, renal failure, and renal ischemia. In particular, the compounds have significant effects on diseases such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and can be used to prepare drugs for the prevention or treatment of stroke, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
[0278] Experimental Example 5: Protective Effects of Representative Compounds on Ischemic Stroke Rats
[0279] 1) Reagents: Omaveloxolone, MedChemexpress Biotechnology, USA; Transient Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (tMCAO) suture, Beijing Reward Life Sciences Co., Ltd.; DMAO, Beyotime Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; Solutal, Sigma-Aldrich (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd.; Normal saline, Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.; TTC, Sigma-Aldrich (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd.
[0280] 2) Establishment of cerebral ischemia rat model using tMCAO method:
[0281] Rats were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate (350 mg / kg), fixed in the supine position on the operating table, and the neck was disinfected. A midline incision was made in the neck, and the intermuscular space between the left sternocleidomastoid and sternoglossi muscles was bluntly dissected to expose the common carotid artery. The common carotid artery was extracted with ophthalmic curved forceps and threaded with silk suture for later use. The external carotid artery was isolated between the right digastric muscle and the hyoid bone, and threaded with silk suture for later use. Suture was passed through and tied to the common carotid artery. A small incision was made at the free end of the common carotid artery and a loose knot was tied. A suture was inserted through the incision along the common carotid artery. The suture was slowly advanced until resistance was felt and the pre-tied loose knot was tightened. The body temperature was maintained at 37°C during the operation, and the suture was removed after 1.5 hours. Rats in the sham operation group did not have a suture inserted after vascular isolation, and the other procedures were the same.
[0282] 3) Experimental groups and drug administration:
[0283] Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 230-250g, were randomly divided into a sham-operated group, a model group, an omaveloxolone 3mg / kg group, an omaveloxolone 9mg / kg group, and a compound 283.03mg / kg group. After three days of acclimatization, the rats were injected into the tail vein during modeling. Rats in the sham-operated and model groups received an equal volume of vehicle (10% DMSO + 10% solutal + 80% saline).
[0284] 4) Index detection:
[0285] mNSS score: Neurobehavioral scoring was performed 24 hours after model establishment, mainly to evaluate the neurological function of rats with ischemic stroke from the perspectives of sensation and movement.
[0286] Measurement of cerebral infarct area: Rats were euthanized with an overdose of chloral hydrate. The brains were removed and placed in a -20°C refrigerator for 20 minutes. The brains were then placed in the cerebral trough and sliced to a thickness of 2 mm. The slices were then incubated in a 37°C incubator in a 2% TTC solution, shielded from light, for 15 minutes. After staining, images were taken and analyzed for cerebral infarct area.
[0287] 5) Statistical methods:
[0288] All data in this study are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (mean ± SD) and statistically analyzed using GraphPad Prism 7.0. Differences between groups were assessed using one-way ANOVAs followed by Tukey's test. Behavioral tests were evaluated using the Krystal-Wallis test. Data were considered statistically significant when P < 0.05.
[0289] 6) Experimental results:
[0290] Effects of compound 28 on neurological function in rats with ischemic stroke:
[0291] As shown in Figure 1, Omaveloxolone 3 mg / kg and 9 mg / kg had no effect on the mNSS score of rats with cerebral ischemia. At an equimolar dose to Omaveloxolone 3 mg / kg, Compound 28 (3.03 mg / kg) significantly reduced the mNSS score of rats with cerebral ischemia.
[0292] Effects of compound 28 on cerebral infarction area in rats with ischemic stroke:
[0293] As shown in Figure 2, Omaveloxolone 3 mg / kg and 9 mg / kg had no effect on the cerebral infarction area in rats with cerebral ischemia. At an equimolar dose to Omaveloxolone 3 mg / kg, Compound 28 (3.03 mg / kg) significantly reduced the cerebral infarction area in rats with cerebral ischemia.
[0294] 7) Conclusion: The Nrf2-Keap1 uncouplers of the present invention, such as compound 28, can reduce the cerebral infarction area in rats with ischemic stroke and have a protective effect on neurological damage.

[0296] 1. Materials and Methods
[0297] 1) Main reagents
[0298] 2) Experimental animals and grouping and drug administration
[0299] Female C57BL / 6J mice were randomly divided into five groups: sham operation group, model group, omaveloxolone 5 mg / kg group, omaveloxolone 15 mg / kg group, and compound 635.05 mg / kg, with 8 mice in each group. The mice in the sham operation group and the model group were given the same volume of solvent (10% solutol + 90% saline) twice a day for 42 consecutive days.
[0300] 3) Preparation of Multiple Sclerosis Model - EAE Model
[0301] The EAE model is a commonly used animal model for multiple sclerosis. An EAE (experimental autoimmune encephalosporin) model is established by subcutaneously injecting a mixture of a peptide fragment of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein MOG35-55 and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the back of mice. Pertussis toxin (PTX) is then injected intraperitoneally on the day of immunization and 48 hours later.
[0302] 4) Weight and neurological function score (5-point scale)
[0303] Starting from the day of immunization induction (Day 0), the rats were weighed and neurological function was scored daily. Neurological function scoring criteria (5-point scale): 0, no clinical deficit; 1, partial tail paralysis; 2, complete tail paralysis; 3, partial hindlimb paralysis; 4, complete hindlimb paralysis; 5, forelimb paralysis; 6, death.
[0304] 5) Statistical processing
[0305] All data are presented as mean ± standard error (SEM). Two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's multiple comparison test were used to compare differences in neurological function scores and body weight among the groups. All data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9.0.0 software. P < 0.05 indicated statistical significance.
[0306] 2. Experimental Results
[0307] As shown in Figure 3, omaveloxolone at 5 and 15 mg / kg significantly reduced neurological function scores in EAE model mice, but no significant difference was observed between the two groups, indicating that omaveloxolone 5 mg / kg achieved its maximum effect. At an equimolar dose to omaveloxolone 5 mg / kg, compound 28 (5.05 mg / kg) significantly reduced neurological function scores in EAE model mice, with a greater potency than omaveloxolone 15 mg / kg, achieving statistically significant differences.
[0308] As shown in Figure 4, omaveloxolone at 5 and 15 mg / kg significantly increased the body weight of EAE model mice, but no significant difference was observed between the two groups, indicating that omaveloxolone 5 mg / kg achieved its maximum effect. At an equimolar dose to omaveloxolone 5 mg / kg, compound 28 (5.05 mg / kg) significantly reduced neurological function scores in EAE model mice, with a greater potency than omaveloxolone 15 mg / kg, achieving statistically significant differences.
[0309] 3. Experimental Conclusion
[0310] Compound 28 has a protective effect on the neurological function of multiple sclerosis model mice, and its effect is stronger than that of Omaveloxolone.

[0313] 1) Main reagents
[0314] Omaveloxolone was purchased from MCE Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; Solutal was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd.; and normal saline was purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.
[0315] 2) Animals
[0316] Forty-eight B6SJL-Tg(SOD1 G93A)-1Gur / J transgenic mice (half male and half female) of the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) model were purchased from Shanghai Model Organisms Technology Co., Ltd.

Twelve C57BL / 6J mice were also assigned to the control group. The control and model groups were intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of vehicle (1% DMSO + 4% solutal + 95% saline) once daily for 10 weeks.
[0319] 4) Index detection
[0320] Rotarod test
[0321] The rotarod test is a classic behavioral test for evaluating motor coordination in mice. The rotarod test (Panlab rotarod apparatus, purchased from Harvard Bioscience, USA) was performed twice weekly, with the rotation speed ranging from 4 to 40 rpm. The experimental procedures were as follows: 1. Before the formal experiment, the mice were acclimated to the rotation speed at 12 rpm for 5 minutes twice daily for 3 days. 2. During the formal experiment, three consecutive tests were performed (3 minutes each, with a 30-minute interval between each test). 3. The time the mouse remained on the rotarod was recorded each time, and the longest time spent on the rotarod across the three tests was used as the latency to fall.
[0322] Onset time
[0323] The rotarod test was used to detect the onset time of mice, and the first time the mouse fell from the rotarod within 3 minutes was recorded as the onset date.
[0324] Cage experiment
[0325] The hanging cage test assesses the grip strength and endurance of mice's limbs. This test is performed twice weekly. Each mouse is placed in the center of a wire mesh. The mesh is gently shaken to ensure the mouse's grip is firm. The mesh is then slowly inverted to a horizontal position, and the time the mouse remains suspended is recorded. Each mouse is tested three times, with each test separated by 30 minutes. The maximum value is used as the fall latency.
[0326] 2. Experimental results
[0327] 1) Effect of compound 28 on the onset time of SOD1 G93A mice
[0328] As shown in Figure 5, both 1 mg / kg and 3 mg / kg of omaveloxolone significantly delayed the onset of SOD1 G93A mice, but no significant difference was observed between the two groups, indicating that omaveloxolone 1 mg / kg achieved its maximum effect. At an equimolar dose to omaveloxolone 1 mg / kg, compound 28 (1.01 mg / kg) significantly delayed the onset of SOD1 G93A mice, and its efficacy was superior to that of omaveloxolone 3 mg / kg, achieving statistically significant results.
[0329] 2) Effect of compound 28 on motor coordination ability of SOD1 G93A mice
[0330] As shown in Figure 6, both 1mg / kg and 3mg / kg of omaveloxolone significantly improved the motor coordination of SOD1 G93A mice, as evidenced by a significant increase in fall latency. However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups, indicating that omaveloxolone 1mg / kg achieved its maximum effect. At an equimolar dose to omaveloxolone 1mg / kg, compound 28 (1.01mg / kg) significantly increased the fall latency of mice, with a greater potency than omaveloxolone 3mg / kg, achieving statistically significant results.
[0331] 3) Effect of compound 28 on muscle endurance in SOD1 G93A mice
[0332] As shown in Figure 7, both 1mg / kg and 3mg / kg of omaveloxolone significantly improved the motor coordination of SOD1 G93A mice, as evidenced by a significant increase in fall latency. However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups, indicating that omaveloxolone 1mg / kg achieved its maximum effect. At an equimolar dose to omaveloxolone 1mg / kg, compound 28 (1.01mg / kg) significantly increased the fall latency of mice, with a greater potency than omaveloxolone 3mg / kg, achieving statistically significant results.
[0333] 3. Experimental Conclusion
[0334] Compound 28 can improve the neurobehavior of ALS model mice, and its effect is stronger than Omaveloxolone.
[0335] The above test results show that the C17 nitrogen-substituted and methylene-substituted oleanol triterpene derivatives disclosed in the present invention can be used as a new type of Nrf2-Keap1 uncoupler, with excellent Nrf2 agonist effect, and at the same time have the activity of scavenging DPPH free radicals, inhibiting the generation of lipid peroxide MDA or intervening in ferroptosis to exert antioxidant effects.
