Abstract
Description
Compounds for treating atrial fibrillation TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of pharmaceutical compounds, and particularly relates to a pharmaceutical compound for treating atrial fibrillation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Atrial fibrillation (AF), also known as atrial flutter, is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia with uncoordinated atrial electrical activation and ineffective atrial contraction. The diagnosis of atrial fibrillation is usually electrocardiographic, and single-lead electrocardiogram (≥ 30 s) or grade II lead electrocardiogram (≥ 10 s) shows that P wave disappears, and is replaced by irregularly sized, shaped and timed flutter waves (f waves), and RR interval is absolutely irregular, which can be diagnosed as atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is a common persistent arrhythmia, and the most common symptoms are palpitations, decreased exercise tolerance and chest discomfort, and some patients may also have dizziness, anxiety and increased urine output (Chinese Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation. Chinese Journal of Cardiovascular Disease, 2023, 51(6): 572-618). Combined with severe organic heart disease, such as ventricular hypertrophy and dilatation, valvular damage, old myocardial infarction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, etc., the impact on heart function is more obvious, and it is often the main reason for inducing and aggravating heart failure. According to the duration of atrial fibrillation, the difficulty of converting and long-term maintaining sinus rhythm, and the treatment strategy selection, atrial fibrillation is divided into paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, persistent atrial fibrillation, persistent atrial fibrillation and permanent atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation not only causes discomfort, but also can cause thrombosis, stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest and heart failure, etc. Complications, causing patients to be disabled, repeated hospitalization, increasing the risk of death, greatly reducing the quality of life of patients, affecting the lives of millions of people worldwide, and bringing certain economic burden to the society (Hindricks G, Potpara T, Dagres N, et al. 2020 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of atrial fibrillation developed in collaboration with the European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) [J]. European Heart Journal, 2021, Feb 1, 42(5): 373-498).
[0003] The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age, and the proportion of atrial fibrillation patients in people over 80 years old is almost 10%. With the extension of the life span of the general population and the increase of the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, its prevalence is gradually increasing. According to the research data of global burden of disease (GBD), the number of patients per 100,000 people in North America is about 2364, in Western Europe is about 1880, in Eastern Europe is about 1758, and in East Asia is about 974 (Brundel BJJM, Ai X, Hills MT, et al. Atrial fibrillation [J]. Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2022, Apr 7, 8(1): 21). A survey of 14339 respondents in China showed that the age-standardized prevalence of atrial fibrillation in Chinese adults was about 1.6%, and the prevalence in men, women, urban and rural areas was 1.7%, 1.4%, 1.6% and 1.7% respectively, which increased with age and had significant geographical differences, with a higher prevalence in central regions than in western and eastern regions (Shaobo Shi, Yanhong T, Qingyan Z, et al. Prevalence and risk of atrial fibrillation in China: A national cross-sectional epidemiological study [J]. The Lancet Regional Health-Western Pacific, 2022, Apr 11: 23). Hypertension, obesity, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism and genetic factors are important predisposing factors for atrial fibrillation, and infection, alcoholism, diarrhea, electrolyte imbalance, short sleep duration and other factors are common factors for inducing atrial fibrillation (Sagris M, Vardas EP, Theofilis P, et al. Atrial fibrillation: Pathogenesis, predisposing factors, and genetics [J]. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021, 23(1): 6). These factors often act alone or in combination on the myocardium, stimulate the myocardium to produce reversible or irreversible changes, and thus participate in the occurrence and development of atrial fibrillation.
[0004] Atrial fibrillation is a disease with high morbidity and mortality. Rhythm control and rate control are two main therapeutic measures to improve the symptoms of patients with atrial fibrillation. Rhythm control refers to the restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm. Antiarrhythmic drug therapy for restoring and maintaining sinus rhythm is the main therapeutic measure to improve the symptoms of patients with atrial fibrillation. Drugs for maintaining sinus rhythm include class Ic (sodium channel blockers such as propafenone) and class III antiarrhythmic drugs (potassium channel blockers such as amiodarone, dronedarone, sotalol, etc.). They can achieve the purpose of cardioversion by slowing the conduction velocity and / or prolonging the effective refractory period to terminate reentrant excitation.
[0005] Propafenone has been used in clinical practice for more than 40 years. It is mainly used for the conversion of newly developed atrial fibrillation. Its efficacy is poor for persistent atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. Propafenone can significantly block sodium channels, significantly reduce the depolarization rate of myocardial cells, and has β receptor and potassium channel blocking effects. It also has a weak calcium channel blocking effect. To date, propafenone is still a first-line drug in clinical practice. However, due to its safety concerns, the actual dosage used is relatively low. Propafenone has a rapid effect, with an onset of action at 2-6 h after oral administration and 0.5-2.0 h after intravenous injection, with a conversion rate of 41%-91%. Common adverse reactions of propafenone include intraventricular block, atrial flutter with rapid ventricular rate, ventricular tachycardia, hypotension, and bradycardia after conversion. It should be used with caution in patients with organic heart disease, heart failure, or severe obstructive pulmonary disease (Chinese Society of Cardiac Electrophysiology and Pacing, Chinese Society of Cardiologists, Chinese Alliance of Atrial Fibrillation Center, Expert Working Committee on Prevention and Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation: current understanding and treatment recommendations (2021) [J]. Chinese Journal of Arrhythmia, 2022, 26(1): 15-88).
[0006] Amiodarone is the most effective antiarrhythmic drug, suitable for patients with atrial fibrillation with various cardiac comorbidities. Amiodarone is an iodine-containing compound, along with its active metabolite N-desmethylamiodarone, blocks various ion channels on cardiomyocytes by non-competitively antagonizing α and β receptors. However, due to a series of adverse reactions of amiodarone, it is not suitable for long-term use as a first-choice drug, and in the case of other antiarrhythmic drugs, amiodarone should be avoided as much as possible. The relative risk of adverse reactions of amiodarone is relatively high, the main reason is that it has high lipid solubility, large distribution volume, and is easy to deposit in the lung, liver, kidney, bone marrow, heart, fat and other parts. Therefore, whether oral or intravenous administration can cause varying degrees of liver damage, slow arrhythmia, pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, corneal pigmentation, thyroid function, and hematological abnormalities, and other adverse reactions (Moroi MK, Ruzie HM, Aboujamous NM, et al. Dataset for amiodarone adverse events compared to placebo using data from randomized controlled trials [J]. Data in Brief, 2020, 28: 104835). Pulmonary toxicity of amiodarone is one of the most serious adverse reactions, in the English instructions for amiodarone, it is clear that in some patients with ventricular arrhythmias, 400 mg of amiodarone per day can cause up to 10% to 17% of pulmonary toxicity, about 10% of patients with pulmonary toxicity will be fatal, and a black box warning is given for amiodarone (https: / / www.accessdata.fda.gov / drugsatfda_docs / label / 2010 / 018972s042lbl.pdf).
[0007] Dronedarone is a multi-channel blocker that can inhibit sodium, potassium and calcium ion channels, and also has a β receptor antagonism, which can be used for paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter patients to maintain sinus rhythm. Dronedarone belongs to benzofuran derivatives, which does not contain iodine in its chemical structure, has similar pharmacological properties as amiodarone, and is less effective than amiodarone in rhythm control, but can reduce thyroid toxicity, reduce lipophilicity, shorten half-life, and reduce organ toxicity caused by drug accumulation in organs such as lungs, eyes and thyroid. It is considered to be a drug with efficacy and safety for atrial fibrillation treatment, and was listed in the United States and Europe in 2009. Improving patient prognosis is one of the main reasons why dronedarone is approved for rhythm control in non-permanent atrial fibrillation patients. A multi-center randomized placebo-controlled study (dronedarone effect on cardiovascular events in atrial fibrillation patients) included 4628 patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, and the endpoint event was hospitalization or death of patients for any reason. After 21 months of follow-up, the results showed that dronedarone can significantly improve the end point of cardiovascular hospitalization or all-cause death in atrial fibrillation patients. On the basis of controlling ventricular rate and antithrombotic therapy, dronedarone can significantly reduce the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases in atrial fibrillation patients (Hohnloser SH, Eickels MV, Christophe G, et al. Effect of dronedarone on cardiovascular events in atrial fibrillation [J]. The New England Journal of Medicine, 2009, 360(7): 668-678). The adverse reactions of dronedarone are related to the dose, and the most common adverse reactions are gastrointestinal reactions, causing bradycardia and QT interval prolongation. In 2011, FDA reported a case report of dronedarone causing severe liver damage and even liver failure requiring liver transplantation (Xiaodong X, Donghui Y. Status and Prospect of Dronedarone in Treating Atrial Fibrillation [J]. Adv Cardiovasc Dis, July 2016, 37(4): 368-371). Due to the first-pass effect of the liver, the bioavailability of dronedarone is low, which is 4% without high-fat diet and 15% with high-fat diet.
[0008] Atrial fibrillation patients should first consider the safety of drugs when undergoing long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm therapy, and then consider effectiveness. Based on the current overall treatment situation, there are cases of single use of therapeutic drugs and insufficient treatment rate, and it is urgent to apply safer and more effective atrial fibrillation treatment drugs to clinical practice.
