Description

1,4-naphthoquinone derivative and method for producing the same

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel 1,4-naphthoquinone derivative, a method for producing the same, and uses thereof.

[0002] NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme involved in various biochemical reactions in the body, and its oxidized form (NAD + ) and reduced form (NADH). NAD + It is necessary for glycolysis, which is the process by which cells break down sugars to create energy, and fatty acid oxidation, which creates energy from fat. NADH is essential for cellular metabolism, such as serving as a substrate used in the electron transport chain when mitochondria synthesize ATP. As aging or certain diseases progress, intracellular NAD + It is well known that the amount of NAD is rapidly reduced. + Increased activity of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), which repairs DNA damage using NAD as a substrate + It is closely related to the decrease in the activity of enzymes involved in the production of NAD in cells. + Research continues to find treatments for various diseases by increasing or at least maintaining the amount of NAD + How to regulate the salvage pathway, a biosynthetic process, NAD + How to supply synthetic precursors, activating enzymes that use NADH to produce intracellular NAD + NAD is being studied in various ways, including how to increase its concentration. + The synthetic precursor supply method has been reported to have limitations, such as low bioavailability and the salvage pathway modulation method has limited effect duration.

[0003]

[0004] NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is a protein that maintains cellular homeostasis by removing external substances or oxidative stress. It is expressed in all tissues of the human body and exists at relatively low levels under normal conditions. However, it is known that the activity and expression of NQO1 are significantly increased in various diseases such as obesity, steatohepatitis related to metabolic disorders, muscle diseases, degenerative neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and diseases caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. Meanwhile, NQO1 converts NADH to NAD through its enzymatic activity. + can be converted to and increased NAD + can induce effects such as improvement of cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial function through sirtuins and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). As a specific example, substrate compounds of NQO1, including β-Lapachone, can induce effects such as improvement of cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial function through sirtuins and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). + It shows therapeutic effects on various diseases such as metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, age-related diseases, mitochondrial diseases, inflammatory diseases and fibrotic diseases such as obesity, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, cancer, kidney disease, hypertension, hearing loss, heart disease, pulmonary fibrosis, MELAS syndrome and primary sclerosing cholangitis through increase. By utilizing the phenomenon of increased activity and expression of NQO1 in disease states, intracellular NAD + Although some attempts have been reported to treat diseases through effective increases in , their therapeutic effects are limited, and there is a growing need for new, more effective and safer substrate compounds.

[0005] Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles found in most eukaryotic cells, including animals, plants, and fungi. They generate cellular energy (adenosine triphosphate, ATP) through aerobic respiration. Mitochondria also play a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, including cell signaling, cell differentiation, apoptosis, the cell cycle, and growth control. Furthermore, mitochondrial dysfunction is well-known to be closely associated with various diseases, including metabolic diseases, muscle diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and mitochondrial diseases. Among these, over 300 mitochondrial diseases are caused by mutations in nuclear DNA (nDNA) or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which directly disrupt the expression and function of mitochondrial complex proteins. ATP synthesis disorders are the most common cause. Except for Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), all mitochondrial diseases have no approved treatments yet, and patients receive symptomatic treatment with antioxidants and vitamin cocktails. LHON is caused by a deficiency of mitochondrial complex I. Idebenone, a known NQO1 substrate, is approved in Europe under the brand name Raxone for treatment. Idebenone is known to treat the disease by inducing ATP synthesis by bypassing the dysfunction of mitochondrial complex I by transferring electrons obtained through reduction by NQO1 to mitochondrial complex III. However, existing compounds still have limitations in terms of bioavailability, target selectivity, and safety, and thus the development of more effective and improved novel drugs is necessary. Therefore, based on the characteristics of increased NQO1 activity and expression associated with various diseases mentioned above, intracellular NAD + There has been a need to develop novel drugs that optimize the ability of electron transport to the mitochondrial electron transport chain.

[0032] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" as used herein means a formulation of a compound that does not cause serious irritation to an organism to which the compound is administered and does not impair the biological activity and physical properties of the compound.

[0429] Example 44: NQO1 activity assay (cytochrome c reduction)

[0430] In order to analyze the efficacy of the evaluation substances on NQO1 activity, a previously known method (Kang-Sik Seo, Jin-Hwan Kim, Ki-Nam Min, Jeong-A Moon et al. KL1333, a novel NAD +This study was performed with some improvements on the previous method (a modulator, improves energy metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction in MELAS fibroblasts. Front. Neurol. 9:552 (2018)). More specifically, human NQO1 recombinant protein was used after diluting 1 / 100 of the reagent at 1 mg / ml, NADH was used after dissolving in 0.01 N NaOH at 20 mM, and cytochrome C was used after dissolving in distilled water at 7.5 mM. To verify the specificity of the enzymatic reaction, the results were corrected using ES936, an NQO1 selective inhibitor. The reaction buffer used in the experiment was 50 mM Tris-HCl containing 0.14% BSA. The reagents were prepared in advance, and 200 μl of the reaction buffer was dispensed into a 5 ml round tube without touching the wall, equal to the number of drugs to be evaluated for activity. NQO1, NADH, and cytochrome c were added to the wall of a tube containing 200 μl of reaction buffer without mixing them. The final concentrations of each reagent added to the 200 μl of reaction buffer were 10 ng NQO1, 0.4 mM NADH, and 75 nM cytochrome c. Care was taken to ensure that the test substances did not mix with the buffer, and the final concentrations were 0.2, 1, and 5 μM. Since the enzyme reaction was initiated simultaneously with the mixing of each reagent, the tube was gently vortexed immediately after the addition of all reagents, and 180 μl per sample was dispensed into a 96-well plate without delay. The absorbance was measured at 550 nm, and the effect of the test substances on NQO1 enzyme activity was quantitatively analyzed based on the rate of change in absorbance according to the reduction of cytochrome c. The related results are presented in Table 1.
