This application incorporates the entirety of the above-mentioned Chinese patent applications. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the field of medicine, in particular to indole-containing polycyclic compounds, compositions containing the same, and uses thereof. BACKGROUND
[0003] Depression is a common mental disorder that involves long-term low mood, diminished interest or anhedonia, and causes great burden to patients' physical and mental health. Depression is an important risk factor for suicide, and tens of thousands of people lose their lives every year. According to statistics, there are more than 300 million people worldwide with depression. In China, the lifetime prevalence of depression is 6.8%, nearly 95 million Chinese people have suffered from depression in their lifetime, and the disease burden is serious.
[0004] Drugs are the main means to treat depression. Currently, clinically recommended antidepressants include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), norepinephrine and specific serotonin reuptake inhibitors (NaSSAs), norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs), etc. These drugs mainly inhibit the reuptake of monoamine neurotransmitters such as 5-hydroxytryptamine, norepinephrine and dopamine in the central nervous system, and increase the concentration of neurotransmitters between synapses to exert antidepressant effects. Although these drugs have improved tolerability and safety compared to traditional tricyclic antidepressants, they still have the following shortcomings: (1) drug side effects are common, and common adverse reactions include nausea, vomiting and sexual dysfunction, etc.; (2) the onset time of the drug is long, usually requiring continuous administration for 2-4 weeks; (3) the response rate of the drug is insufficient, about 1 / 3 of patients are insufficient for these drugs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new mechanism-based antidepressants in clinical practice.
[0005] Psilocybin and other tryptamine psychedelics have been shown to rapidly and persistently alleviate depressive symptoms in multiple clinical studies. In 2019, Psilocybin was designated as a "breakthrough therapy" by FDA. Currently, Psilocybin is undergoing multi-center clinical trials to further verify its safety, effectiveness and therapeutic dose in treating depression. Patients will quickly experience hallucinations after taking Psilocybin and other tryptamine psychedelics, which will last for 4-6 hours, which limits the drug to be taken in hospitals and requires the supervision of psychologists. In addition, Psilocybin belongs to the first category of psychotropic drugs in China and is strictly controlled.
[0006] Several preclinical studies have shown that modifying the molecular structure of Psilocybin and other tryptamine psychedelics is expected to achieve the separation of rapid antidepressant effect and psychedelic effect, providing a new rapid antidepressant therapy. In the past three years, the molecules modified for tryptamine psychedelics mainly include TBG, AAZ-A-154, IHCH-7086, (R)-70 and 4-F,5-MeO-PyrT, which can exert rapid antidepressant effect in a depressive-like mouse model but avoid producing hallucinations, among which AAZ-A-154 has entered clinical phase I. On the mechanism of action, these compounds mainly act through 5-HT 2A receptor, but the relationship between the intensity of agonism and the hallucinogenic effect or antidepressant efficacy still needs to be explored.

[0176] The present application is further illustrated by the following examples without thereby limiting the present application to the scope of the examples. The experimental methods in the following examples without specific conditions are selected according to conventional methods and conditions, or according to the instructions of the commercial product.
[0177] Preparation of compound 1 of Example 1
[0178] Step one: under 0 degrees and nitrogen protection, lithium aluminum hydride solution 1.0 M (8 mL, 8 mmol, 2.0 eq.) was slowly added dropwise to a THF solution (5 mL) of 3-methylcyclobutene carboxylic acid ethyl ester (500 mg, 4.0 mmol, 1.0 eq.), and the reaction was carried out at 0 °C for 2 h. After the reaction was completed, sodium sulfate decahydrate (740 mg, 2 mmol, 0.5 eq.) was slowly added to the above system at 0 °C to quench the reaction, and then filtered. The filter residue was washed with THF, and the filtrate was combined. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure at low temperature to obtain compound 1-2 (357 mg, 91%).
[0179] Step two: To a solution of compound 1-2 (357 mg, 3.64 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in water / methyl tert-butyl ether (1 mL / 2 mL) was added iodine (1.85 g, 7.28 mmol, 2.0 eq.) and sodium bicarbonate (612 mg, 7.28 mmol, 2.0 eq.) under nitrogen protection. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. After the reaction was completed, the reaction was quenched by the addition of saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution (10 mL). After dilution with water, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether / ethyl acetate = 20 / 1) to give compound 1-3 (652 mg, 80%). LCMS (ESI, m / z): 224.73 [M+H] + .
[0180] Step three: To a solution of 5-methoxytryptamine hydrochloride (367 mg, 1.9 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in DMF (5 mL) was added sodium bicarbonate (325 mg, 3.9 mmol, 2.0 eq.) and compound 1-3 (652 mg, 2.9 mmol, 1.5 eq.) successively at room temperature. After nitrogen replacement, the reaction was stirred at 60 °C for 4 h. After the reaction was completed and cooled to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with water.

[0278] Test Example 1: FLIPR-based test of the 5-HT 2A agonistic activity of the compounds of the present application
[0279] HEK293 cells stably overexpressing 5-HT2A(ATCC-CRL-1573) were cultured and resuspended for counting, then plated at 20000 cells / 20μL per well in a 384-well plate (Greiner-781090) and incubated overnight at 37°C in a 5% CO2incubator. Test compounds and reference compounds were diluted in 3-10 fold serial dilutions with DMSO, and 750nL was transferred to the compound plate using an Echo 555, and 30μL assay buffer (Invitrogen-F10471, Component C) was added. The cell plate was removed from the incubator and the old medium was removed, and 20μL assay buffer and 20μL Fluo-4 Direct TM Loading buffer (Invitrogen-F10471, Component A) was added and incubated for 50 minutes at 37°C in a 5% CO2incubator, followed by 10 minutes at room temperature. 10μL of compound was transferred to the cell plate and the fluorescence values were read using a FLIPR (Molecular Device). The highest concentration point for the reference compound 5-HT was 100nM, and the highest concentration point for the test compounds was 30μM. The DMSO content in the blank wells and the compound wells was 5‰. The data analysis for the 5-HT 2A agonistic activity of the compounds: Sample agonistic activity = 100% x (sample well signal value - average of blank well fluorescence signal) / (average of reference compound highest concentration point fluorescence signal - average of blank well fluorescence signal). The data was fitted using GraphPad Prism 5.0, and the "Dose-response-Stimulation-log(agonist) vs. response - Variable slope" model was selected for fitting analysis, and the EC 50 values and E max values for each test sample were obtained.

[0286] Test Example 2: Anti-depression efficacy test of the compound of the present application
[0287] Method: Depression-like mice were constructed based on the chronic unpredictable mild stimulation model. The mild stimulation included fasting and water deprivation, foot electrostimulation, wet bedding, cage tilting, behavioral restraint, shaking cage and olfaction, and the above seven experiments were randomly performed within one week to achieve unpredictability, and the mice were continuously stimulated for 4 weeks. The mouse strain was C57BL / 6J, 6-8 weeks old, male. The sugar water preference test was designed by using the preference of rodents for sweet taste as an index to detect whether the animal had anhedonia, a symptom of depression. After the animals were fasted for a period of time, pure water and low concentration sucrose water were given at the same time, and the degree of preference of animals for sucrose water (sugar water preference rate) was used as an index to detect whether the animal had anhedonia, a symptom of depression. After the continuous 28-day unpredictable mild stimulation, the depressed mice were randomly divided into a model group, a positive drug group and a compound 1 group. The control group (normal mice) and the model group (depressed mice) were given a vehicle (5% DMSO + 10% Solutol + 85% physiological saline, 1 day 1 time, continuously for 28 days), the positive drug group was given fluoxetine (30 mpk, gavage, 1 day 1 time, continuously for 28 days), and the test compound 1 group (vehicle gavage once a day for the first 27 days, and intraperitoneal injection of 20 mpk of compound 1 once on the 28th day). The sugar water preference rates of the control group, the model group, the fluoxetine group and the compound 1 group were detected 24 hours after the administration of compound 1 (24 hours after the administration ended on the 28th day, the four groups of mice were fasted at the same time for 24 hours).
[0288] Results: As shown in Figure 1, the sugar preference rate of the model group mice was significantly decreased compared with the control group. After 28 days of continuous administration of the positive drug fluoxetine (30 mpk) and once administration of compound 1 (20 mpk), the sugar preference rate of the depressed mice was significantly increased. Compound 1 showed a rapid-acting antidepressant effect.
[0289] As shown in Figure 2, after establishing a depressed mouse animal model by a similar method, the positive drug group was given psilocybin (3 mpk intraperitoneal injection once) or esketamine (10 mpk intraperitoneal injection once), and the rest of the compounds were 20 mpk, intraperitoneal injection once. The sugar preference rate was tested 24 hours after administration. The results showed that the compounds of the application had a rapid-acting antidepressant effect.
[0290] Test Example 3 C57 Male Mouse Head-Twitch Response
[0291] Method: Head-Twitch Response (HTR) refers to the rapid lateral and left-right rotation of the head movement of mice to characterize the hallucinogenic effect. Before the test, high-definition video equipment was installed on an aluminum profile combined rack, and a mouse cage (26.5 cm x 37 cm) was placed under each camera. C57BL / 6J mice were placed in the test environment for 60 min to ensure that the environmental temperature was (23±2)℃ and the humidity was 40%~60%. After environmental adaptation, the mice to be tested were intraperitoneally injected with the corresponding solvent (5% DMSO+10% solutol+85% physiological saline) or compound and immediately started recording. The mice to be tested were placed in the center of the mouse cage, and the mouse behavior within 30 min after administration was recorded using VideoCap V1.27.0.22 software. After each round, the feces and urine were removed and disinfected with 75% alcohol and dried. Three mice were tested for each compound, and each mouse was tested once. After the test, the number of head twitches (HTR) of the mice was counted by two people in a blind manner (non-behavioral test personnel were selected), and the total number of head twitches of each animal in 30 min and the number of head twitches every 10 min were counted. The average value was taken as the final result.
[0292] Results: Compound 1 did not cause the mice to produce head twitch behavior. Other compounds of the application were tested by the same method, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0301] 1. Test procedure: The bidirectional permeability of the test solution containing the test product (transport buffer solution (HBSS, 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) from the apical side to the basolateral side and from the basolateral side to the apical side was detected. The test was incubated at 37°C for 120 minutes, and the control drugs digoxin (5 μM), minoxidil (5 μM) and atenolol (5 μM) were used to detect the transport activity of the system. The concentrations of the test product at the administration end and the receiving end at the beginning and at the end of incubation were quantitatively detected by HPLC-MS / MS, and the apparent permeability coefficient was calculated according to the concentration. The whole test was carried out in two parallel. The integrity of the cell monolayer membrane after 2 hours of incubation was evaluated by the leakage of fluorescein.
[0302] 1.1 Cell culture and seed plate
[0303] 1) Take out 100 mL (for later use) from DMEM culture medium (500 mL / bottle), add 100 mL fetal bovine serum FBS, 5 mL double antibody, 5 mL non-essential amino acid NEAA.
[0304] 2) After the Caco-2 cells are recovered, they are cultured in a culture dish, and the incubator is set to 37°C, 5% CO2, and the relative humidity is ensured to be 95%. After two passages, when the cell confluence reaches 70%-90%, they can be used for inoculation in the Transwell plate.
[0305] 3) Before cell inoculation, 25 mL of cell culture medium is added to the lower layer of the Transwell culture plate. The culture plate can be used for cell inoculation after being incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 1 hour.
[0306] 4) After cell digestion, the cell suspension is transferred to a round-bottom centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 120g for five minutes.
[0307] 5) Resuspend the cells in medium to a final concentration of 3.43 x 10 5 cells / mL. Add 100 μL of the cell suspension to each well of the upper chamber of the 96-well Transwell plate for a final seeding density of 2.4 x 10 5 cells / cm 2 .
[0308] 6) Start medium exchange 48 h after seeding and continue for 14-18 days, changing medium every other day.
[0309] 7) Medium exchange is performed by separating the Transwell chamber from the receiver plate, discarding the 10 mL medium from the receiver plate, then discarding the medium from the Transwell chamber, and finally adding 100 μL fresh medium to each chamber and 10 mL fresh medium to the receiver plate.
[0310] 1.2 Evaluation of monolayer membrane integrity
[0311] 1) Caco-2 cells should be fully confluent and differentiated after 14 days of culture. At this time, they can be used for permeation experiments.
[0312] 2) Measure the electrical resistance of the monolayer membrane using an ohmmeter (Millipore, USA) and record the resistance for each well.
[0313] 3) After the measurement is complete, return the Transwell plate to the incubator.
[0314] 4) Calculation of resistance values: measured resistance x membrane area (cm 2 ) = TEE value (ohms.cm 2 ). If the TEE value is < 230 ohms.cm 2 , the well cannot be used for permeation experiments.
[0315] 1.3 Drug permeation experiments

[0317] 2) Measure the transport rate of the compound from the apical to the basolateral side. Add 100 μL of the donor solution to each well of the upper chamber (apical side) and 300 μL of the receiver solution to each well of the lower chamber (basolateral side).
[0318] 3) Determine the rate of transport of the compound from the basal end to the apical end. Add 100 μL of the receiving end solution to each well of the upper chamber (apical end) and 300 μL of the dosing end solution to each well of the lower chamber (basal end).
[0319] 4) Take 50 μL of the dosing solution and add to 200 μL of the stop solution containing internal standard as the 0 minute dosing sample for analysis.
[0320] 5) Combine the upper and lower transport devices and incubate at 37°C for 2 hours.
[0321] 6) After the incubation is complete, take 50 μL from each well of the upper and lower chambers of the Transwell plate and add to a new sample tube. Add 200 μL of the stop solution containing internal standard to the sample tube, vortex for 10 minutes, and centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes. Take 100 μL of the supernatant and dilute with 100 μL of water before analysis by LC-MS / MS. All samples are prepared in duplicate.
[0322] 7) Evaluate the integrity of the cell monolayer membrane after 2 hours using a leak assay with fluorescein. Dilute the fluorescein stock solution with transport buffer to a final concentration of 100 μM. Add 100 μL of the fluorescein solution to each well of the upper Transwell insert plate and 300 μL of transport buffer to each well of the lower receiving plate. Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes and then remove 80 μL from each well of the upper and lower chambers into a new 96-well plate. Measure the fluorescence using a microplate reader at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and an emission wavelength of 530 nm.
