Description

A 3,8-disubstituted adenine derivative, preparation method and application thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, and more specifically, relates to a 3,8-disubstituted adenine derivative and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are the only superfamily of enzymes in the body responsible for the specific hydrolysis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). They catalyze the hydrolysis of 3′-phosphate bonds to generate 5′-AMP and 5′-GMP, respectively. cAMP and cGMP are important intracellular second messengers, regulating diverse signaling pathways, such as various intracellular physiological processes and neurobehavioral functions, through direct interactions with cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and cGMP-dependent protein kinase G (PKG), respectively. To date, nearly twenty PDE inhibitors have been approved for marketing, such as the PDE5 inhibitor sildenafil and the PDE4 inhibitor apremilast. cAMP-specific PDE subtypes include PDE4, PDE7, and PDE8. PDE8 has the highest affinity for its cAMP substrate, with a Km value of 40-150 nM, over 40 times that of PDE4.

[0003] The biological functions of PDE8 are not yet fully understood, but based on its expression, it is speculated that PDE8 plays an important physiological role in various life processes, particularly in brain and thyroid function. Therefore, it may be a suitable therapeutic target for central nervous system diseases. Studies have shown that PDE8B knockout mice have enhanced spatial memory and motor coordination, and that PDE8 levels are overexpressed in the brains of aged rats. These findings suggest that inhibiting PDE8 may enhance cognitive function, prevent age-related motor coordination decline, and treat age-related diseases. Technical issues

[0004] The technical problems to be solved by the present invention are:

[0005] There is little research on PDE8 in the prior art, and no inhibitors with good effects have been found for clinical application. There are only a few studies on PDE8 inhibitors.

This type of inhibitor has different degrees of inhibitory activity on PDE8 enzyme, but its clinical effect is still unknown, and it is impossible to explore the physiological effects of PDE8. Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover PDE8 inhibitors with strong activity, high selectivity and excellent properties to explore the physiological effects of PDE8. Technical Solutions

In the incubation system, the 2 μM working solution was diluted 20-fold to a final concentration of 0.1 μM. The DMSO concentration in the incubation system was ≤ 0.01%.

[0102] (5) Preparation of positive control compound: Dilute 2 mM VIVID stock solution 50-fold with 2 μM analyte working solution. The final concentration of VIVID in the incubation system is 2 μM.

[0103] (2) Experimental methods

[0104] Liver microsomes were incubated in 96-well plates in a 450 μL incubation volume. The medium consisted of 0.1 M Tris buffer (pH 7.4), containing liver microsomes at a final concentration of 0.33 mg / mL, 0.1 μM test drug, 5.0 mM MgCl2, 0.01% DMSO, 0.005% BSA, and 1.0 mM NADPH. Incubation was performed at 37°C. After a 10-minute preincubation, NADPH was added to initiate the reaction. The reaction was terminated by adding 50 μL of the incubation solution to the same volume of methanol at 0, 7, 17, 30, and 60 minutes. The results are shown in Table 6.

[0106] 3. In vivo pharmacokinetic determination of compound 4b

[0107] The time course of the plasma concentration of compound 4b was observed after oral gavage and intravenous injection in rats, and the corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters and absolute bioavailability were estimated. The determination process and results were as follows:

[0108] (1) Measurement process

[0109] Six rats were divided into two groups and administered compound 4b via oral gavage and tail vein injection. Approximately 0.25 mL of blood was collected from the jugular vein 5, 15, 30, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours after administration in the intravenous group and 5, 15, 30, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours after administration in the oral gavage group. The concentration of LWWX22194 in rat plasma samples was determined by LC-MS / MS. PK parameters for each compound were statistically analyzed and calculated (WinNonlin V5.2, Pharsight) to demonstrate the pharmacokinetic properties of the compounds of this invention in rats.

[0110] (2) Measurement results

[0111] After a single intravenous injection of 2.5 mg / kg of compound 4b in rats, the main pharmacokinetic parameters of intravenous administration were: Cmax of 1847 ng / mL, Tmax of 0.083 h, T1 / 2 of 3.78 h, AUC0-T of 4900 hr*ng / mL, AUC0-∞ of 5028 hr*ng / mL, Vz of 2820 mL / kg, Cl of 512 mL / hr / kg, MRT0-t of 3.104 h, and MRT0-∞ of 3.53 h. The results are shown in Table 7 below.

[0113] After oral administration of 10 mg / kg 4b to rats, the main pharmacokinetic parameters of oral administration were: Cmax of 1763 ng / mL, Tmax of 5.33 h, T1 / 2 of 3.34 h, AUC0-t of 22932 hr*ng / mL, AUC0-∞ of 23354 hr*ng / mL, MRT0-t of 6.75 h, MRT0-∞ of 7.10 h, and oral bioavailability of 116.1%. The results are shown in Table 8 below.
