Imidazole fused ring compound, pharmaceutical composition, preparation method and application thereof

[0001] This application claims priority to prior applications No. 202410444043.2, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on April 12, 2024, entitled “Imidazole-fused-ring compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, preparation methods, and uses thereof”; and No. 202510420941.9, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on April 3, 2025, entitled “Imidazole-fused-ring compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, preparation methods, and uses thereof”. The entire contents of the aforementioned prior applications are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention belongs to the field of medicine, and in particular relates to a class of imidazole fused ring compounds, a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0003] Tachykinin receptors are targets of a family of structurally related peptides collectively designated "tachykinins," including substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA), and neurokinin B (NKB). Tachykinins are synthesized in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues, where they exert a variety of biological activities. Three tachykinin receptors are currently known, designated neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor, neurokinin-2 (NK-2) receptor, and neurokinin-3 (NK-3) receptor. NK-1 receptors, NK-2 receptors, and NK-3 receptors have been identified in different species. NK-1 receptors and NK-2 receptors are expressed in a variety of peripheral tissues, and NK-1 receptors are also expressed in the CNS, while NK-3 receptors are primarily expressed in the CNS.

[0004] The NK-3 receptor, encoded by the TACR3 gene, is involved in regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. TACR3 knockout or mutant mice exhibit abnormal reproductive organ development, low sex hormone levels, and severely reduced reproductive capacity. Carrying TACR3 gene mutations can lead to abnormal gonadotropin release, resulting in sexual infantilism and infertility. A significant proportion of familial hypogonadism is caused by TACR3 gene mutations.

[0005] Kisspeptin / neurokinin B / dynorphin (KNDy) neurons participate in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) signaling pathway, promoting estrogen production through the GnRH neuron-pituitary-sex organ pathway. This signaling pathway is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism, thereby maintaining hormone levels within a reasonable range. KNDy neurons are also involved in thermoregulatory signaling pathways, releasing NKB ligands that bind to NK-3 receptors in the median preoptic nucleus (MPN). This regulates body temperature within a certain range by inhibiting shivering and vasoconstriction and promoting sweating and vasodilation. In menopausal women, decreased estrogen levels lead to a loss of this negative feedback mechanism, leading to overactivation of KNDy neurons and the release of large amounts of endogenous NKB ligands, which bind to NK-3 receptors in the MPN. This leads to sweating, vasodilation, and symptoms of hot flashes. Therefore, the development of antagonists targeting KNDy neurons and the MPN NK-3 receptor has the potential to be effective in treating symptoms such as hot flashes.

[0006] In the CNS, NK-3 receptors are expressed in regions including the medial prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, and amygdala. Furthermore, NK-3 receptors are expressed on dopaminergic neurons. Activation of the NK-3 receptor has been shown to regulate the release of dopamine, acetylcholine, and serotonin, suggesting the therapeutic utility of NK-3 receptor modulators in treating a variety of conditions, including psychotic disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, schizophrenia, and obesity, pain, or inflammation.

[0007] Although a large amount of meaningful research has been conducted in this field, there is still a need to continue researching and developing more effective small molecule NK3R receptor antagonists. The present invention provides a NK3R receptor antagonist with a novel structure, and it is found that compounds with such a structure have good activity and can effectively treat a series of CNS and peripheral diseases.
