Description

A class of tri-pericyclic compounds, preparation method and use thereof

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application 2024110938483, filed on August 9, 2024. This application incorporates the entirety of the aforementioned Chinese patent application. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry and medicine, and specifically relates to a class of tri-pericyclic derivatives represented by general formula I', pharmaceutically acceptable salts and isomers thereof, a preparation method of the compounds, a pharmaceutical composition containing the compounds, and the use of the compounds in the preparation of drugs for treating and / or preventing Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. BACKGROUND

[0003] With the aggravation of population aging, the number of AD patients will be more and more, and it is estimated that the number of AD patients worldwide will reach 152 million by 2050. However, the currently clinically commonly used anti-AD drugs are mainly neurotransmitter and receptor drugs, which can only relieve symptoms and cannot stop or reverse the pathological progression of AD. Moreover, in the past 20 years, the research and development strategy of anti-AD drugs has mainly focused on removing Aβ deposition and Tau protein, but most of the newly developed anti-Aβ and anti-Tau protein drugs have been discontinued due to insignificant clinical benefits. Although recent studies have shown that antibody drugs for removing β-amyloid protein are expected to slow down the disease progression of early AD patients, but currently antibody drugs are still controversial due to their insignificant efficacy and side effects. In fact, synaptic loss and neuronal apoptosis are the key pathological features of AD. Based on previous studies, it has been proved that by regulating the aging-related signaling pathway, inhibiting neuronal apoptosis, inducing neuronal regeneration, increasing the number of neurons, and restoring the function of damaged neurons, it is expected to become an effective strategy for treating AD. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the defect that the number of effective AD drugs in the prior art is limited, and therefore the present application provides a class of tri-pericyclic compounds, a preparation method and use thereof. The tri-pericyclic compounds of the present application can regulate AKT and downstream signaling pathways, and also have various advantages: reducing neuroinflammation, reducing oxidative stress, protecting neurons, promoting repair of damaged neurons, inhibiting neuronal apoptosis, slowing down cognitive decline in AD, easily passing through the blood-brain barrier, distributing in the brain and having less systemic side effects.

[0470] Example 1 Promoting the survival of nerve cells in vitro

[0471] The reduction of the number of neurons is a hallmark event in the development of Alzheimer's disease. APP / S-KN cells are an ideal cell model for simulating Alzheimer's disease in vitro. The precursor APP of beta amyloid protein is overexpressed in the cells. The inventors used the oxygen-glucose deprivation model to simulate the cell damage caused by Alzheimer's disease in primary cultured neurons and APP / S-KN cells, and observed the effect of NS series compounds on promoting the survival and proliferation of nerve cells.

[0472] 1. Promoting survival of primary cultured neurons injured by oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD)

[0473] Experimental method:

[0474] Primary neuron culture: After the Wistar rat fetus was anesthetized with ether, the abdominal skin was disinfected with 75% ethanol, and the fetus was taken out under sterile conditions, placed in a 100 mm sterile culture dish, and the brain tissue was quickly separated, the tissue was cut into small pieces, and a pre-warmed 0.25% trypsin digestion solution was added, and the digestion was carried out at 37°C for 30 min. After digestion, the brain tissue was transferred to a centrifuge tube, 10 ml of culture medium containing serum (40 ml DMEM + 5 ml FBS + 5 ml HS + 0.5 ml PS + 0.5 ml Glu) was added, and the tissue was gently blown with a fine-bore pipette, filtered with a 200-mesh sieve, and then centrifuged at 800 rpm / min for 5 min. The supernatant was discarded, and an appropriate amount (10-20 ml) of inoculation medium was added, mixed well, and then counted on a counting plate, inoculated, and placed in a 5% CO2 37°C incubator for culture. After 4 hours of cell inoculation, the medium was changed to maintenance medium (48 ml neurobasal + 1 ml B27 + 0.5 ml PS + 0.5 ml Glu). Every 3-4 days, half of the maintenance medium was changed.

[0475] Oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) injury and CCK8 detection: After the culture medium was discarded, 100 μl of normal maintenance medium was added and the culture was continued; the normal culture medium was discarded in the model group and the drug administration group, and the low-sugar culture medium was washed once. 90 μl of low-sugar culture medium and 10 μl of drug solution were added to each well of the 96-well plate, and the culture was carried out in a three-gas incubator (carbon dioxide, 5%, oxygen content 1%, nitrogen 94%). After 3 hours, the low-sugar culture medium was discarded and replaced with normal culture medium, 90 μl of normal culture medium was added to each well of the 96-well plate, and 10 μl of the working solution of the compound to be screened was added. The original culture medium was discarded, 10% CCK-8 solution was added to each well, and the plate was incubated in the incubator for 4 hours. The absorbance (OD value) at 450 nm was measured by a microplate reader to detect the cell survival rate. The percentage increase in cell survival rate after drug administration relative to the model group was calculated.

[0476] Survival rate increase = (OD 给药组 - OD 模型组 ) / OD 给药组 * 100%

[0477] The experimental results are shown in Table 1-1:

[0478] Table 1-1. Effect of NS series compounds (3 μM) on increasing the survival rate of primary neurons in the OGD model

[0479] Table 1-2. Effect of NS series compounds (10 μM) on improving cell survival rate of primary neuron OGD model

[0480] The above experimental results show that the model group (model) can improve the cell survival rate of primary cultured neurons subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation injury.

[0481] 2. Promoting the survival of APP / S-KN cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation injury

[0482] Experimental method:

[0483] APP / SK-N cell culture, lysis and collection: APP / SK-N cells with a confluence of 80%-90% were subcultured and seeded at a density of 2*10 5 6-well plates for Western Blot experiments), and cultured for 24 h. The original culture medium was discarded, and 2 mL of complete culture medium (containing 10% FBSD MEM medium) containing the test compound (final concentration of 3, 10 μM) was added to each well of the 6-well plate. The drug was allowed to act for 48 h. The Control group was added with the same volume of cell culture medium and cultured for the same time.

[0484] The OGD model was established and the CCK8 detection method was the same as above. The percentage of cell survival rate improvement relative to the model group was calculated. Survival rate improvement = (OD 给药组 -OD 模型组 ) / OD 给药组 * 100%

[0485] The experimental results are shown in Table 1-3:

[0486] Table 1-3. Effect of NS series compounds on the survival of OGD model APP / S-KN cells

[0487] The in vitro cell survival screening results show that, compared with the model group, the compounds of the present application can significantly improve the survival of neurons and APP / S-KN cells subjected to OGD injury, and have obvious effects of promoting the survival and regeneration of nerve cells.

[0488] Example 2: In vitro reduction of nerve cell death (apoptosis)

[0489] Apoptosis of neurons is also a hallmark event in the development of late-stage Alzheimer's disease. APP / S-KN cells are an ideal cell model for simulating Alzheimer's disease in vitro. The inventors used the oxygen-glucose deprivation model to simulate cell apoptosis caused by Alzheimer's disease in primary cultured neurons and APP / S-KN cells, and observed the effect of NS series compounds on reducing nerve cell apoptosis.

[0490] 1. Reducing the apoptosis of APP / SK-N cells damaged by oxygen-glucose deprivation

[0491] Experimental method:

[0492] APP / SK-N cell culture and establishment of oxygen-glucose deprivation model are the same as in Example 1.

[0493] Flow cytometry detection of apoptosis: neurons were seeded in a 6-well plate at a density of 5 x 10 5 cells / mL, and after a certain period of culture, they were divided into a blank control group (Control) and an OGD / R group (Model and drugs) for treatment; cell collection: digestion was performed using 0.125% Trypsin, and PBS was used for washing 2-3 times to prepare a single cell suspension, which was centrifuged at 800 rpm for 5 min to precipitate the cells, and the cells were resuspended using 1 x Annexin V binding buffer in the kit, and the cell density was adjusted to 1 x 10 6 cells / mL with a volume of 100 μL; cell labeling: 5 μL of 1 x Annexin V working solution and 1 μL of 1 x PI working solution were added to each 100 μL of cell suspension, and incubation was performed at room temperature for 15 min in the dark; after incubation, 400 μL of 1 x Annexin V binding buffer was added, and the mixture was gently mixed and placed on ice; machine detection: the cell suspension was transferred to a flow detection tube, and machine detection was performed, with FL1 detecting 530 nm excitation light and FL3 detecting > 575 nm excitation light.

[0494] The experimental results are shown in Tables 2-1 and 2-2:

[0495] Table 2-1. Effect of different concentrations of compounds on the apoptosis of APP / SK-N cells damaged by OGD model P<0.05, ##P<0.01 indicates statistical significance compared with the control group. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 indicates statistical significance compared with the model group.

[0497] The above experimental results show that, compared with the model group, the tested compounds of the application can significantly reduce the total apoptosis rate of APP / SK-N cells damaged by OGD, and have a significant anti-apoptotic effect.

[0498] Experimental method:

[0499] The method for culturing primary neurons and establishing the oxygen-glucose deprivation model is the same as that in Example 1.

[0500] The method for detecting apoptosis by flow cytometry is the same as above.

[0507] 1. Improvement of learning and memory in APP / PS1 transgenic mice by NS series compounds

[0508] The APP / PS1 transgenic mouse model is a classic animal model for evaluating learning and memory improvement. The inventors used this whole-body animal model to evaluate the improvement of cognitive dysfunction in APP / PS1 transgenic mice by Example 13 and Example 35 in the water maze test.

[0509] Experimental method:

[0510] Experimental animals: APP / PS1 transgenic mice, 12 months old, purchased from Changzhou Cavens Experimental Animal Co., Ltd. Experimental groups: normal control group (WT group), model group (Model group), Example 13 10 mg / kg group, n=10 in each group; normal control group (WT group), model group (Model group), Example 35 10 mg / kg group, n=10 in each group;

[0511] Morris water maze: The Morris water maze mainly consists of a metal cylindrical pool (pool height 60 cm, diameter 120 cm) and automatic display, monitoring, recording device and safety island (diameter 10 cm platform). The pool wall and platform are pasted with black self-adhesive plastic paper in advance to make them black, so that the pool water appears black, and the water surface is 15 mm higher than the platform, so that the animals cannot reach the platform through hearing and olfaction, in order to detect the animal's memory ability for spatial location. The water temperature is maintained at 25±1℃, and the pool is divided into 4 quadrants (northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest), and the platform is placed in the center of the northwest quadrant. The swimming activity of each mouse is monitored and recorded by a monitor directly connected to a computer for processing and analysis. The positioning navigation experiment is performed continuously for 4 days. Each mouse receives 2 training to find the platform per day, with the head facing the pool wall. The interval between the two training is 10 minutes. The time to find the platform (latency) is recorded, and the results of the two experiments per day are averaged. If the mouse does not find the platform within 90 seconds, the latency is calculated as 90 seconds. Whether the mouse finds the platform within 90 seconds or not, it stays on the platform for 30 seconds. The time to find the platform (latency) index reflects the mouse's learning and memory ability for spatial location. The spatial exploration experiment is performed on the second day after the last training, i.e. on the 5th day. Remove the platform and let the mouse swim freely for 90 seconds to find the platform, and record the time and number of times the mouse crosses the target platform for the first time.

[0512] Results of the experiment:

[0513] As shown in Figures 1-6, in the Morris water maze experiment, Example 13 and Example 35 (10 mg / kg) can significantly reduce the water maze latency of APP / PS1 transgenic mice, reduce the first crossing time during the exploration period, and increase the crossing frequency, showing an obvious effect of improving the cognitive impairment of APP / PS1 mice.

[0514] As shown in Figures 4-6, Example 35 10 mg / kg significantly reduces the water maze latency of APP / PS1 transgenic mice, reduces the first crossing time during the exploration period, and increases the crossing frequency, showing an effect of improving the cognitive dysfunction of APP / PS1 mice.

[0515] 2. Improvement of scopolamine-induced learning and memory impairment in mice by Examples 13, 16 and 35

[0516] The scopolamine-induced dementia mouse model is also a classic animal model for evaluating learning and memory improvement. The inventors used this whole-body animal model to evaluate the improvement of cognitive dysfunction by NS series compounds in the platform test.

[0517] Experimental method:

[0518] Experimental animals: ICR mice, 22-24 g, purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.; APP / PS1 transgenic mice, 12 months old, purchased from Changzhou Cavens Experimental Animals Co., Ltd.

[0519] The jump stand instrument is a square electric shock device, which is divided into 5 compartments. The bottom of each compartment is an iron fence that can carry 36-volt alternating current. An electrically insulated circular rubber platform with a diameter of about 3 cm is placed at a corner of the bottom. Mice can stand on it to avoid electric shock. The four sides are plastic boards, one of which is transparent towards the observer, and the other three are black and opaque. The top is open for taking and placing animals. The mice are placed in one compartment of the jump stand instrument. On the first day, they are adapted for 5 minutes. On the second day, the power is turned on, and the animals are shocked. Training lasts for 3 minutes. Twenty-four hours after training, the jump stand power is turned on, and the mice are carefully placed on the safe platform. The latency of the first jump off the safe platform and the number of shocks within 3 minutes are recorded to determine the passive avoidance response ability of the animals.

[0520] Experimental results:

[0521] In the jump stand experiment of scopolamine-induced dementia mice, Example 35 significantly reduced the number of scopolamine-induced dementia mice jumping off the platform and had a tendency to reduce the latency of scopolamine-induced dementia mice jumping off the platform. Example 13 had a tendency to reduce the number of scopolamine-induced dementia mice jumping off the platform and the latency of scopolamine-induced dementia mice jumping off the platform. Example 16 significantly reduced the number of scopolamine-induced dementia mice jumping off the platform and had a tendency to reduce the latency of scopolamine-induced dementia mice jumping off the platform. All three compounds showed an effect of improving cognitive dysfunction in mice.

[0522] Table 3-1. Effect of compounds on jump stand latency and error number of scopolamine-induced dementia mice n = 10, # p < 0.05 vs. normal control group, * p < 0.05 vs. model group.

[0523] Table 3-2. Effect of compounds on jump stand latency and error number of scopolamine-induced dementia mice n = 10, # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01 vs. normal control group, * p < 0.05 vs. model group.

[0524] The results of the above two whole animal model experiments show that the compounds of the present application, including Example 13, Example 35 and Example 16, can significantly improve the cognitive dysfunction of APP / PS1 transgenic mouse models and scopolamine-induced dementia mouse models.

[0525] Results of acute toxicity experiment of NS series compounds of Effect Example 4

[0526] The NS series compounds show obvious effects of improving cognitive dysfunction, as represented by Example 13, Example 35 and Example 16, and the acute toxicity effects on ICR mice are observed.

[0527] Experimental method:

[0528] Experimental animals: ICR mice, 22-24 g, purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.

[0529] Experimental grouping: The experimental animals were evenly distributed into each group according to the animal weight, with 5 female mice and 5 male mice in each group. They were divided into the Example 13 100 mg / kg group, the Example 13 200 mg / kg group, the Example 13 500 mg / kg group, the Example 13 800 mg / kg group, the Example 35 100 mg / kg group, the Example 35 200 mg / kg group, the Example 35 500 mg / kg group, the Example 35 800 mg / kg group, the Example 16 100 mg / kg group, the Example 16 200 mg / kg group, the Example 16 500 mg / kg group, and the Example 16 800 mg / kg group, totally 12 groups.

[0530] Experimental method: After the experimental animals were grouped, they were given a dose of drugs according to the dosages, with the drug administration volume of 10 ml / kg, and the animal death was observed within 14 days, and the animal death time and reason were recorded.

[0531] Experimental results:

[0532] The body weight of the ICR mice in each administration group steadily increased, and the ICR mice in the Example 13, Example 35 and Example 16 groups had no death within 14 days after the single administration of the three compounds at the dosages of 100 mg / kg, 200 mg / kg, 500 mg / kg and 800 mg / kg, and the LD 50 of the three compounds were all >800 mg / kg.

[0533] Table 5-1, survival of animals in acute toxicity experiment of NS compounds

[0534] The animal survival was observed within 14 days after the administration, and no animal died.

[0535] The above results show that the LD 50 of the Example 13, Example 35 and Example 16 are all >800 mg / kg, while the effective dosage of the Example 13, Example 35 and Example 16 in the behavior is 10 mg / kg, which indicates that the safety window of the active compounds of the embodiments of the present application, including the Example 13, Example 35 and Example 16, is wide, and the acute toxicity effect is not observed.
