Description

Tetrahydronaphthylidine STING inhibitors and their pharmaceutical uses Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, specifically relating to tetrahydronaphthidine STING inhibitors and their pharmaceutical uses. Background Technology

[0002] The cGAS-STING signaling pathway plays a crucial role in mediating cytoplasmic DNA immune responses. Circular GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is a DNA sensor that recognizes abnormal dsDNA in the cytoplasm. Upon recognition of dsDNA, cGAS forms a dimer cGAS-DNA complex, which synthesizes 2',3'-cGAMP using ATP and GTP. 2',3'-cGAMP, acting as a second messenger, specifically binds to the "V"-shaped pocket formed by the interferon-stimulated regulatory factor (STING) dimer, inducing oligomerization activation of the STING protein. Activated STING translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus and recruits TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1). TBK1, in turn, phosphorylates STING and recruits interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), leading to the production of type I interferon (IFN) and other cytokines, thereby generating an immune inflammatory response. Aberrant activation of the STING pathway can lead to the development of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (Nature Immunology, 2017, 18(7):716-724), such as AGS syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, Bloom syndrome, SAVI disease, sepsis, Parkinson's disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, pneumonia, chronic nephritis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, psoriasis, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Therefore, STING inhibitors hold promise for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. However, existing STING inhibitors are few in number, have weak activity, and poor drug-like properties (Cell Reports 2018, 25, 3405–3421; ACS Med. Chem. Lett. 2019, 10(1), 92-97; Nature 2018, 559, 269-273; EP3556362; PNAS 2021, 118(24):e2105465118; WO2021138434). For example, the STING palmitoylation inhibitor H-151 (Nature 2018, 559, 269-273; EP3556362) has weak activity and poor metabolic stability, making it difficult to absorb orally (Bri J Pharmacol, 2021, 178, 4907-4922). To date, no STING inhibitor has been approved for marketing. In conclusion, there is a very urgent clinical need to develop novel STING inhibitors. Summary of the Invention

[0294] Evaluation of the inhibitory activity of the compound on the STING signaling pathway in THP1-Dual cells

[0295] Experimental Principle: THP1-Dual is a commercially available dual reporter gene assay cell line for the NF-κB and IRF signaling pathways. The transcriptional activity of the IRF signaling pathway can be evaluated by detecting secreted luciferase. This cell line also expresses cGAS and STING proteins; the introduction of exogenous 2',3'-cGAMP directly activates the STING signaling pathway, thereby enhancing IRF transcriptional activity. Therefore, exogenous 2',3'-cGAMP is used to activate the intracellular STING-IRF signaling pathway. After adding compounds to intervene in the STING signaling pathway, the inhibitory activity of the compounds on STING is evaluated by detecting secreted luciferase.

[0296] Experimental reagents and materials: heat-inactivated serum (Biological Industries), 1640 medium (Biological Industries), penicillin-streptomycin dual antibody (Biological Industries), THP1-Dual TM Cells (InvivoGen), 2',3'-cGAMP (Targetmol, stock solution prepared at 1 mg / mL), Opti-MEM (Gibco), Lipo6000 (Beyotime), QUANTI-Luc TM (InvivoGen).

[0297] Experimental methods: (1) Cell seeding: Centrifuge, resuspend and count THP1-Dual cells in good growth condition. Mix the cell suspension with the pre-prepared 2',3'-cGAMP working solution (e.g., mix 2 μg of 2',3'-cGAMP stock solution with 4 μL of Lipo6000 in 0.5 mL of Opti-MEM and let stand at room temperature for 10 min before use) to prepare a culture medium solution with a 2',3'-cGAMP concentration of 2 μg / mL and a cell concentration of 400,000 cells / mL. Add 100 μL to a 96-well plate as the experimental wells; and add the corresponding cell solution without 2',3'-cGAMP to the control wells. (2) Cell drug delivery: Prepare a 10 mM stock solution of the test compound, and dilute it with culture medium in a gradient to the test concentration. Add 100 μL of the drug solution to the experimental wells, and add 100 μL of culture medium to the control wells and model wells. After incubating in an incubator for 16–18 hours, the samples were tested. (3) Detection: QUANTI-Luc was placed in an incubator for 16–18 hours. TMThe powder was prepared into a detection solution with purified water according to the instructions, aliquoted and stored at 4℃. 10 μL of the detection solution was added to a white, opaque 384-well plate. The 96-well plate containing cultured cells was taken out, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 min using a microplate centrifuge, and 4 μL of the supernatant was taken and added to the 96-well plate containing the detection solution. Chemiluminescence was detected using an ELISA reader. (4) Data processing: The inhibition rate of the compound at a fixed concentration was calculated using the following formula: Inhibition rate of a compound at a certain concentration = 1 - (Chemiluminescence value of the compound well at a certain concentration - chemiluminescence value of the control well) / (Chemiluminescence value of the model well - chemiluminescence value of the control well) × 100%; then, the half-maximal inhibitory rate (IC50) of the compound was calculated by fitting the curve based on the inhibition rate of the compound at each concentration. 50 (Value). Experimental results: The inhibitory activity of the compound on the STING signaling pathway in THP-1Dual cells activated by 2',3'-cGAMP stimulation is shown in Table 2.

[0298] The test results (Table 2) show that the tetrahydro-1,7-naphthidine compounds of the present invention (such as I-1, I-2, I-8, I-14, I-15, I-16, I-18, I-21, I-26, I-30, I-31, I-33, I-36, I-37, I-38, etc.) have strong STING inhibitory activity against 2',3'-cGAMP-stimulated THP-1Dual cells. The IC50 values ​​of some compounds are also shown. 50 The value is less than 30 nM. Surprisingly, tetrahydro-1,6-naphthidine compounds (such as I-4) have very weak activity.

[0301] Pharmacokinetic evaluation of the compound in rats

[0302] Experimental animals: 3 male SD rats, SPF grade, obtained from Beijing Vital River.

[0303] Experimental Methods: Three rats were used in the oral administration group, with an oral dose of 20 mg / kg. Rats were fasted for 12 hours before oral administration and fed 4 hours after administration. Approximately 0.2 mL of blood was collected from the orbital sinus at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours after oral administration. Dipotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) was added immediately after blood collection for anticoagulation, and the collected blood was placed on ice. All samples were centrifuged at 18000g for 7 minutes in a low-temperature centrifuge to separate plasma. The content of compounds in the plasma was detected by LC-MS / MS, and relevant pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated based on the blood drug concentration data at different time points. The experimental results are shown in Table 3.

[0304] Experimental results show that compounds I-2, I-10, and I-15 have relatively long oral half-lives (T0). 1 / 2 The high oral exposure (AUC) and high concentration of oral toxicities suggest that the above compounds have favorable pharmacokinetic properties. Other compounds of the present invention also exhibit favorable pharmacokinetic properties.
