Abstract
Description
LP(a) inhibitor compound and application thereof TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of medicine, in particular, the present application relates to a LP(a) inhibitor compound and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are common diseases that seriously threaten human health, especially the health of the elderly. According to the WHO estimate, the number of deaths from cardiovascular diseases each year accounts for one-third of all deaths worldwide. Among them, atherosclerosis-induced cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the world's leading cause of death. For a long time, LDL-C has been used as the primary target for blood lipid intervention of ASCVD, but there is still a high residual risk of cardiovascular events when LDL-C levels are controlled in the ideal range. Studies have shown that elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an independent risk factor for ASCVD.
[0003] Lp(a) is an atherogenic lipoprotein produced in the liver, which is covalently linked by a disulfide bond between an LDL-like particle apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) and an apolipoprotein a [Apo(a)] molecule. Elevated Lp(a) can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by promoting atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and inflammation. Because the level of LP(a) is less affected by postnatal factors, lifestyle interventions such as healthy diet and exercise cannot directly reduce Lp(a) levels, and existing lipid-lowering drugs cannot achieve a significant clinical benefit in reducing Lp(a). Therefore, Lp(a) lipid-lowering therapy has become an important breakthrough point in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. SUMMARY

[0157] Example 1
[0158] Reaction Scheme:
[0159] Experimental Operation:
[0160] Step 1.
[0161] To a solution of tert-butyl (3R)-3-[(2S)-3-(3-bromophenyl)-1-(tert-butoxy)-1- oxopropan-2-yl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (1.0 g, 2.2 mmol, 1 eq) and diphenyl methanimine (518. mg, 2.8 mmol, 1.3 eq) and cesium carbonate (1.4 g, 4.4 mmol, 2 eq) in 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) was added XantPhos (127. mg, 0.2 mmol, 0.1 eq) and Pd2(dba)3 (201. mg, 0.2 mmol, 0.1 eq) portion wise under air protection at room temperature. The resulting residue was stirred at 100 °C overnight under nitrogen protection. The reaction mixture was filtered, the filter cake was washed with ethyl acetate (2 X 50 ml), and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with petroleum ether / ethyl acetate (7:1) to give tert-butyl (3R)-3-[(2S)-1-(tert-butoxy)-3-{3-[(diphenylmethylene)amino]phenyl}-1- oxopropan-2-yl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (890 mg, 68.5% yield).
[0162] LCMS (ESI): [M+H] + = 454.2.
[0163] Step 2.
[0164] To a solution of tert-butyl (3R)-3-[(2S)-1-(tert-butoxy)-3-{3-[(diphenylmethylene)amino]phenyl}-1- oxopropan-2-yl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (800 mg, 1.4 mmol, 1 eq) in tetrahydrofuran (6 mL) was added citric acid (6 mL, 50%) under air protection at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature under nitrogen protection. The reaction mixture was quenched with water at room temperature. The reaction mixture was basified with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution to pH = 8. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 X 70 ml). The combined organic phase was backwashed with saturated brine (2 X 100 ml) and dried over sodium sulfate. The resulting mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by normal phase with petroleum ether / ethyl acetate (3:1) to give tert-butyl (3R)-3-[(2S)-3-(3- aminophenyl)-1-(tert-butoxy)-1-oxopropan-2-yl]pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (550 mg, 91.8% yield).
[0165] LCMS (ESI): [M+H] + = 391.2.
