Abstract
Description
A PCSK9 cyclic peptide inhibitor, its preparation method and uses Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a PCSK9 cyclic peptide inhibitor, or its stereoisomer, racemate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as well as its preparation method and uses. The compound provided by this invention has excellent PCSK9 inhibitory activity and can be used to treat diseases such as hyperlipidemia. Background Technology
[0002] Proprotein convertase subtilisin / kexin type 9 (PCSK9), also known as neuronal apoptosis-regulating convertase 1 (NARC-1), is a pro-proprotein convertase belonging to the subtilisin (S8) family of serine proteases. It is expressed in cells capable of proliferation and differentiation, including hepatocytes, renal interstitial cells, ileal and colonic epithelial cells, and embryonic telencephalon neurons. Studies have found that PCSK9 plays a role in the differentiation of hepatocytes and nerve cells. It not only specifically acts on cholesterol biosynthesis or uptake, but circulating PCSK9 can also directly bind to the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) on the surface of hepatocytes, being phagocytosed by hepatocytes along with LDLR. This promotes the degradation of LDLR in hepatocytes, hinders its recycling, and thus increases the level of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) in plasma. Elevated LDL-C expression is closely related to dyslipidemia and cardiovascular diseases in humans. Summary of the Invention

[0069] Optically active (R)- and (S)- isomers, as well as D- and L- isomers, can be prepared by chiral synthesis, chiral reagents, or other conventional techniques. To obtain an enantiomer of a compound of the present invention, it can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization with a chiral auxiliary, wherein the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group is cleaved to provide the desired enantiomer in pure form. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as an amino group) or an acidic functional group (such as a carboxyl group), a salt of the diastereomeric isomer is formed with a suitable optically active acid or base, followed by diastereomeric resolution using conventional methods known in the art, and then the pure enantiomer is recovered.

Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, conformational isomers (rotational isomers), geometric isomers (cis / trans isomers), and hindered isomers, etc.
[0071] The terms "tautomer" or "tautomer form" refer to structural isomers with different energies that can interconvert through a low energy barrier. If tautomerism is possible (e.g., in solution), chemical equilibrium can be achieved for the tautomer. For example, proton tautomers (also called prototropic tautomers) involve interconversions via proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers involve interconversions via the rearrangement of some bonding electrons. A specific example of a keto-enol tautomer is the interconversion between pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one. Another example of tautomerism is phenol-keto tautomerism. A specific example of a phenol-keto tautomer is the interconversion between pyridine-4-ol and pyridine-4(1H)-keto.

[0078] Some compounds of this invention may exist in non-solventized or solvated forms, including hydrated forms. Generally, solvated and non-solventized forms are equivalent and both are included within the scope of this invention.
[0079] The atoms in the compounds of this invention are isotopes. Isotope derivatization can typically prolong half-life, reduce clearance rate, stabilize metabolism, and enhance in vivo activity. Furthermore, one embodiment is included, wherein at least one atom is replaced by an atom having the same number of atoms (protons) but different mass numbers (protons and neutrons). Examples of isotopes included in the compounds of this invention include hydrogen atoms, carbon atoms, nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, phosphorus atoms, sulfur atoms, fluorine atoms, and chlorine atoms, each comprising... 2 H, 3 H, 13 C 14 C 15 N、 17 O、 18 O、 31 P, 32 P, 35 S, 18 F, 36Cl. In particular, radioactive isotopes that emit radiation as they decay, such as 3 H or 14 C can be used for local anatomical examination of pharmaceutical preparations or compounds in vivo. Stable isotopes neither decay nor change with quantity and are not radioactive, therefore they can be used safely. When the atoms constituting the compounds of this invention are isotopes, the isotopes can be converted according to common methods by replacing the reagents used in the synthesis with reagents containing the corresponding isotopes.
[0080] For example, the compounds of the present invention may contain atomic isotopes in non-natural proportions on one or more atoms constituting the compound. For example, the compounds may be labeled with radioactive isotopes, such as deuterium. 2 H), Iodine-125 125 I) or C-14 14 C). All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, regardless of radioactivity, are included within the scope of the present invention.
[0081] Furthermore, one or more hydrogen atoms in the compound of the present invention are coated with the isotope deuterium ( 2 The compounds of this invention, after being substituted with H), have the effects of prolonged half-life, reduced clearance rate, metabolic stabilization, and increased in vivo activity.
[0082] The preparation methods of the isotope derivatives typically include phase-transfer catalysis. For example, a preferred deuteration method employs a phase-transfer catalyst (e.g., tetraalkylammonium salt, NBu4HSO4). Using a phase-transfer catalyst to exchange the methylene protons of a diphenylmethane compound results in the introduction of higher levels of deuterium than reduction with deuterated silanes (e.g., triethyldeuterated silane) in the presence of an acid (e.g., methanesulfonic acid) or with Lewis acids such as aluminum trichloride using sodium deuterated borate.
[0083] For pharmaceuticals or pharmacologically active agents, the term "effective amount" or "therapeutic effective amount" refers to a sufficient quantity of a drug or agent that is non-toxic but achieves the desired effect. For the oral dosage forms of this invention, the "effective amount" of one active substance in the composition refers to the quantity required to achieve the desired effect when used in combination with another active substance in the composition. The determination of the effective amount varies from person to person, depending on the recipient's age and general condition, as well as the specific active substance. A suitable effective amount in any given case can be determined by a person skilled in the art through routine testing.
[0084] The terms “active ingredient,” “therapeutic agent,” “active substance,” or “active agent” refer to a chemical entity that can effectively treat a target disorder, disease, or symptom. Detailed Implementation
