Abstract
Description
2-Substituted aminobenzothiazole compounds and their uses Technical fields:
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to a series of 2-substituted aminobenzothiazole compounds, their preparation methods, and their use in the preparation of drugs for treating and / or preventing sEH-mediated diseases. Background technology:
[0002] Epoxide hydrolases (EHs) are ubiquitous in nature, found in mammals, plants, and microorganisms. They efficiently catalyze the hydrolysis of epoxides to produce vicinal diols. Eight subtypes of epoxide hydrolases have been identified, including cholesterol 5,6-oxide hydrolase (ChEH), soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), and microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH). Among these, sEH is one of the most extensively studied epoxide hydrolases in recent years, and it represents a potential therapeutic target for many diseases, including hypertension, lung disease, diabetes, pain, inflammation, and other immune system disorders.
[0003] sEH is encoded by the EPHX2 gene, located in the P21-P12 region of human chromosome 8. This gene comprises 18 introns and 19 exons, encoding over 550 amino acids in a total length of 45 kb. sEH consists of two antiparallel 60 kDa subunits, each containing two distinct enzymatic domains. The C-terminus possesses an α / β hydrolase fold structure, acting as a catalytic subunit to hydrolyze epoxides to form the corresponding diols; the N-terminus exhibits phosphatase activity, capable of hydrolyzing various lipid phosphates. sEH is widely distributed in numerous organs of the human body, including the brain, liver, and kidneys, but its content is lower in organs such as the lungs and spleen. In recent years, sEH has also been found in the cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and striatum of the brain.
[0004] Arachidonic acid (AA) is an unsaturated fatty acid that can be metabolized by cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) into inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, lipoxygenins, and leukotrienes. AA can be converted into more bioactive epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) by cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450). EETs have anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and antioxidant effects and participate in the pathophysiological processes of various diseases affecting the immune, nervous, and metabolic systems. Sedimentary epoelectrohydrin (sEH) is the main metabolic enzyme of EETs, rapidly hydrolyzing them into less bioactive dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs), thus affecting the protective effects of EETs. sEH inhibitors can maintain the bioactivity of EETs by increasing the level of endogenous EETs, thereby achieving the goal of treating various diseases.
[0005] Currently, no sEH inhibitors are used clinically. Reported sEH inhibitors in the literature include t-AUCB, AR9281, GSK2256294, and EC5026. GSK2256294, a small-molecule sEH inhibitor discovered by GlaxoSmithKline, is intended for the treatment of diseases such as diabetes and obesity and is currently in Phase II clinical trials. EC5026, a urea-based sEH inhibitor discovered by Bruce Hammock's team, is currently in Phase I clinical trials. Summary of the Invention:

[0190] 2. Determination of the anti-inflammatory effects of compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15, and 16
[0191] Forty-two male Kunming mice (20–25 g) were randomly divided into seven groups: Example 1 group, Example 3 group, Example 10 group, Example 15 group, Example 16 group, celecoxib group, and blank solvent group, with six mice in each group. An inflammatory swelling model was established by subcutaneous injection of 50 μL of 1% λ-carrageenan saline solution into the paw. One hour before modeling, mice were intraperitoneally injected with either a 100 mg / kg solution of the corresponding compound (20 mg / mL, 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80 aqueous solution) or a blank solvent. The initial paw thickness before modeling was taken as 100%, and changes in paw thickness were measured. The degree of paw swelling was statistically analyzed, as shown in Figure 1.
[0192] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16 could significantly inhibit carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice, and their effects were superior to celecoxib.
[0193] 3. Determination of the anti-stroke effect of compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16
[0194] 3.1 Therapeutic effect on acute phase of ischemic stroke
[0195] A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) reperfusion model was established in male SD rats using the suture occlusion method. After 2 hours of ischemia, the suture was removed to restore perfusion. Immediately after the start of reperfusion, rats were injected via the tail vein with 1 mg / kg or 3 mg / kg of the compound solution described in the above examples (1.5 mg / mL, an aqueous solution of 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80), t-AUCB solution (1.5 mg / mL, an aqueous solution of 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80), edaravone injection (commercially available, 20 mL: 30 mg), or a blank solvent, with 8 rats in each group. After 24 hours, the rats were euthanized under 10% chloral hydrate anesthesia, and the brain tissue was harvested and cut into 4-5 consecutive equidistant coronal sections. The brain sections were completely immersed in 2% TTC (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride) solution for staining and photographing, and the infarct volume was calculated, as shown in Figure 2.
[0196] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16 significantly reduced the infarct volume in MCAO rats, with better effects than t-AUCB and edaravone.
[0197] Thirty rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham-operated group, solvent group, compound of Example 3 (3 mg / kg) group, compound of Example 16 (3 mg / kg) group, and t-AUCB (3 mg / kg) group. A MCAO reperfusion model was established as described above, and the drug was administered via tail vein immediately after reperfusion. Twenty-four hours later, ischemic brain tissue was harvested and weighed. PBS buffer was added at a weight-to-volume ratio of 1:9, and the tissue was ground at low temperature for 1 min. The tissue was then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 20 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was collected. The concentrations of TNF-α and IL-1β in the brain tissue were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (referring to the ELISA kit instructions), as shown in Figure 3.
[0198] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 3 and 16 could significantly reduce the levels of inflammatory factors in the brain tissue of MCAO rats, with better effects than t-AUCB.
[0199] 3.2 Long-term therapeutic effects on ischemic stroke
[0200] Seventy-eight male SD rats were used to establish a MCAO reperfusion model and were divided into four groups: sham-operated group, solvent group, compound of Example 3 (3 mg / kg) group, compound of Example 16 (3 mg / kg) group, t-AUCB (3 mg / kg) group, and edaravone (3 mg / kg) group. Eight rats were in the sham-operated group, and the remaining groups each had 14 rats. After ischemia-reperfusion, the rats were administered the drug once daily via tail vein injection (experimental drug same as in 3.1) for two consecutive weeks. Animal survival was recorded daily, and the results are shown in Figure 4. Starting in the third week, the Morris water maze test was conducted. Rats were placed in the water facing the pool wall, and the latency to find the platform within 60 seconds was recorded. Rats that found the platform within 60 seconds were guided to the platform and remained there for 30 seconds. The latency to find the platform was recorded over four days to evaluate the rats' spatial memory ability, and the experimental results are shown in Figure 5.
[0201] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 3 and 16 could improve the survival rate of rats, significantly reduce the escape latency of rats, and enhance their learning and memory abilities, with better effects than t-AUCB and edaravone.
[0202] 4. Determination of the hypoglycemic effect of the compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16
[0203] Forty-eight male BALB / c mice (18–22 g) were randomly divided into eight groups: normal control group, blank solvent group, Example 1 group, Example 3 group, Example 10 group, Example 15 group, Example 16 group, and t-AUCB group, with six mice in each group. Except for the normal control group, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 1% streptozotocin (STZ) solution (pH 4.5, 0.1 mol / L citrate buffer) once daily for five consecutive days at a dose of 50 mg / kg to establish a diabetic model. Starting from the first day of modeling, mice were intraperitoneally injected once daily with either a 10 mg / kg solution of the corresponding compound (6 mg / mL, 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80 aqueous solution) or a blank solvent. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured after two weeks, as shown in Figure 6.
[0204] The results showed that the blood glucose levels in the treated mice were significantly lower than those in the blank solvent group. The compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16 could alleviate STZ-induced hyperglycemia, and the compounds in Examples 3 and 16 were more effective than t-AUCB.
[0205] 5. Determination of the antifibrotic effect of the compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16
[0206] Forty-eight male C57BL6 / J mice (18–22 g) were randomly divided into eight groups: sham-operated group, blank solvent group, Example 1 group, Example 3 group, Example 10 group, Example 15 group, Example 16 group, and t-AUCB group, with six mice in each group. After anesthetizing the mice, the left ureter was ligated and cut to establish a unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model. In the sham-operated group, only the ureter was isolated, without ligation. Starting three days before modeling, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 10 mg / kg of the corresponding compound solution (prepared as in section 4) or blank solvent once daily. Seven days after modeling, the animals were sacrificed, and the kidneys were harvested for Masson staining to examine histopathological changes. The experimental results are shown in Figure 7.
[0207] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16 could significantly reduce the fibrotic area in mouse kidney tissue, with the compounds in Examples 3 and 16 being more effective than t-AUCB.
[0208] 6. Determination of the analgesic effect of the compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16
[0209] 6.1 Determination of analgesic effect
[0210] (1) Male SD rats (200-250g) had their initial mechanical withdrawal reflex threshold (MWT) measured using a Von Frey electronic analgesia meter. The rats were then anesthetized, and the skin was longitudinally incised along the left femur. The muscles were bluntly dissected to expose the sciatic nerve trunk and its distal branches. Surrounding adhesions and the three branches of the sciatic nerve—the tibial, common peroneal, and sural nerves—were separated. The tibial and common peroneal nerves were tightly ligated with silk sutures, while approximately 2-4 mm of the nerve was cut distal to the ligation, preserving and avoiding damage to the sural nerve. This established a selective sciatic nerve branch injury (SNI) pain model. One week after surgery, the MWT was measured to confirm the SNI model.
[0211] After successful model establishment, the SNI model rats were divided into 8 groups: Example 1 group, Example 3 group, Example 10 group, Example 15 group, Example 16 group, EC5026 group, pregabalin group, and blank solvent group, with 6 rats in each group. The rats were administered the corresponding compound solution (1.2 mg / mL, 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80 aqueous solution) or blank solvent by gavage at a dose of 3 mg / kg. With the pre-administration MWT as 100%, the changes in MWT at different time points after administration were measured, and the MWT%-time curve was plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The experimental results are shown in Figure 8.
[0212] (2) Male SD rats (180-220g) were injected intraperitoneally with 1% streptozotocin (STZ) solution (0.1mol / L citrate buffer with pH 4.5) at a dose of 60mg / kg to establish a diabetic model. One week later, fasting blood glucose was measured to be greater than 11.1mmol / L to confirm the diabetic model. Two weeks later, MWT was measured to confirm the diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) model.
[0213] DNP model rats were divided into 7 groups: Example 1 group, Example 3 group, Example 10 group, Example 15 group, Example 16 group, pregabalin group, and blank solvent group, with 6 rats in each group. Each group was administered the corresponding compound solution (1.2 mg / mL, 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80 aqueous solution) or blank solvent by gavage at a dose of 3 mg / kg. The change in MWT at different time points after administration was measured with the pre-administration MWT as 100%, and the MWT%-time curve was plotted. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The experimental results are shown in Figure 9.
[0214] (3) C57BL6 / J mice (18–22 g) were intraperitoneally injected with paclitaxel solution (0.2 mg / mL, solvent: DMSO-PEG400-Tween 80-physiological saline (1:1:1:7, V / V)) at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days, at a dose of 2 mg / kg. MWT was monitored every 4 days after model initiation using a Von Frey fiber optic pain meter to confirm the paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain (PINP) model.
[0215] After successful model establishment, the PINP model mice were divided into 7 groups: Example 1 group, Example 3 group, Example 10 group, Example 15 group, Example 16 group, pregabalin group, and blank solvent group, with 6 mice in each group. Each group was administered the corresponding compound solution (3.75 mg / mL, 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80 aqueous solution) or blank solvent by gavage at a dose of 30 mg / kg. With the pre-administration MWT as 100%, the changes in MWT at different time points after administration were measured, and the MWT%-time curve was plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The experimental results are shown in Figure 10.
[0216] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16 could significantly improve the MWT in SNI rats, DNP rats and PINP mice and relieve neuropathic pain. The compounds in Examples 3 and 16 were more effective than EC5026 and pregabalin.
[0217] 6.2 Measurement of inflammatory factors in the spinal cord
[0218] Thirty SD rats (200-250g) were randomly divided into five groups: Example 3 group, Example 16 group, EC5026 group, blank solvent group, and sham-operated group, with six rats in each group. The SNI model was established according to the method described in section 6.1. In the sham-operated group, only the tibial nerve, common peroneal nerve, and sural nerve were isolated. After successful model establishment, the rats were administered the corresponding compound solution (1.2 mg / mL, 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80 aqueous solution) or blank solvent by gavage at a dose of 3 mg / kg. Two hours after administration, the animals were anesthetized, and their hearts were perfused sequentially with approximately 200 mL of physiological saline and approximately 100 mL of 4% paraformaldehyde. The L4-L6 segment of the spinal cord was harvested, weighed, and added to PBS buffer at a weight-to-volume ratio of 1 g:9 mL. The tissue homogenate was then homogenized at 4°C and centrifuged at 2500 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was collected for later use. The concentrations of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β in rat spinal cord were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (refer to the kit instructions). The results are shown in Figure 11.
[0219] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 3 and 16 could significantly reduce the levels of inflammatory factors in the spinal cord of SNI rats, with better effects than pregabalin.
[0220] 6.3 Effects on motor coordination in rats
[0221] The effects of the compound on motor coordination in rats were evaluated using a rotarod fatigue test. Forty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into seven groups: Example 1 group, Example 3 group, Example 10 group, Example 15 group, Example 16 group, pregabalin group, and a normal control group, with six rats in each group. For the three days prior to the test, rats were trained three times daily at a rotation speed of 10–20 rpm for 5 minutes each time, with a 20-minute interval between training sessions as the fatigue recovery time. On the day of the test, rats were administered the corresponding compound solution (8 mg / mL, 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80 aqueous solution) or a blank solvent via gavage at a dose of 20 mg / kg. The walking time of the rats on the rotarod at a rotation speed of 25 rpm was recorded before and after administration. The walking time of the rats on the rotarod is shown in Figure 12.
[0222] The results showed that the walking time of rats in the pregabalin group was significantly reduced on the rotundus. The compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16 did not affect the walking time of rats on the rotundus, and there were no adverse central nervous system reactions caused by pregabalin.
[0223] 7. Determination of the antidepressant effects of compounds from Examples 1, 3, 10, 15, and 16
[0224] Forty-two male Kunming mice (20-25g) were randomly divided into seven groups: Example 1 group, Example 3 group, Example 10 group, Example 15 group, Example 16 group, blank solvent group, and normal control group, with six mice in each group. The Kunming mice underwent a 10-minute pre-swimming test. Except for the normal control group, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with 0.5 mg / kg lipopolysaccharide saline solution (0.1 mg / mL). Twenty-three hours later, they were subcutaneously injected with either a 10 mg / kg solution of the corresponding compound (6 mg / mL, 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80 aqueous solution) or a blank solvent. One hour later, a forced swimming test was performed for 6 minutes. The immobility time (s) of each group was recorded within the last 4 minutes. The statistical analysis of the immobility time of the mice during forced swimming is shown in Figure 13.
[0225] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16 could significantly reduce the immobility time of mice during forced swimming.
[0226] 8. Determination of the dry eye relief effects of the compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16
[0227] Seventy-two male BALB / c mice (18–22 g) were randomly divided into eight groups: Example 1, Example 3, Example 10, Example 15, Example 16, cyclosporine eye drops, blank solvent, and a normal control group, with nine mice in each group. Except for the normal control group, mice were treated with 0.2% benzalkonium chloride (BAC) saline solution three times daily for 15 days to establish a dry eye model. Intervention treatment was performed using the compound prepared in the above examples (2 mg / mL, 10% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin solution), cyclosporine eye drops (II) (commercially available, 0.4 mL: 0.2 mg), or blank solvent, with 5 μL administered to each eye three times daily for 15 days. Tear secretion and corneal fluorescein staining scores were measured at different time points, as shown in Figure 14.
[0228] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 1, 3, 10, 15 and 16 could significantly alleviate BAC-induced dry eye, increase tear secretion in mice, and alleviate corneal damage, with better effects than cyclosporine eye drops (II).
[0229] Seventy-five male BALB / c mice (18–22 g) were randomly divided into five groups: Example 3 group, Example 16 group, cyclosporine eye drops (II) group, blank solvent group, and normal control group, with 15 mice in each group. A dry eye model and drug administration were performed as described above. Fifteen days later, the mice were sacrificed, and corneas were collected. Six corneas from every three mice were combined into one sample, and three samples were collected from each group for determining the levels of 14,15-EET and 14,15-DHET in the tissue. The remaining corneas were combined into one sample from every four mice, and three samples were collected from each group for determining the concentration of TNF-α in the tissue. The levels of 14,15-EET and 14,15-DHET were determined using LC-MS / MS, and the concentration of TNF-α was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit, following the kit's instructions. Figure 15 shows the levels of 14,15-EET and 14,15-DHET in the tissue, and Figure 16 shows the concentration of the inflammatory factor TNF-α in the tissue.
[0230] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 3 and 16 could increase the level of 14,15-EET in the cornea and reduce the content of 14,15-DHET and TNF-α, and their effects were better than those of cyclosporine eye drops (II).
[0231] 9. Determination of the therapeutic effects of the compounds in Examples 3 and 16 on diabetic retinopathy
[0232] Eighty male C57BL / 6J mice (18–22 g) were randomly divided into five groups: Example 3 group, Example 16 group, t-AUCB group, blank solvent group, and normal control group, with 16 mice in each group. Except for the normal control group, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 1% streptozotocin (STZ) solution (0.1 mol / L citrate buffer, pH 4.5) at a dose of 50 mg / kg, once daily for 5 consecutive days. One week later, a random blood glucose level ≥16.7 mmol / L was considered a successful establishment of a diabetic model, and intervention treatment was initiated using eye drops containing the compounds from Example 3 and Example 16 (1 mg / mL, 10% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin solution) or the blank solvent, administered twice daily, 5 μL per eye each time. Diabetic mice were fed for 6 months to induce retinopathy. After 6 months, the mice were injected intravenously with 0.1 mL of 2% Evans blue saline solution for 2 hours. After cardiac perfusion with 50 mL of saline, retinal tissue was harvested, homogenized, centrifuged, and the supernatant was collected. The absorbance was measured at 620 nm to examine retinal vascular permeability. Separately, retinal tissue was treated with 5% pepsin solution and pepsin to remove excess tissue, obtaining retinal vessels. After PAS staining, microscopic imaging was performed to observe the morphology of retinal vessels and pericytes, and the number of free pericytes in the retina was counted. The experimental results are shown in Figures 17 and 18.
[0233] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 3 and 16 could significantly reduce the permeability of retinal blood vessels in diabetic mice, reduce the number of free pericytes and cell-free vessels in retinal capillaries, maintain vascular homeostasis, and alleviate the symptoms of diabetic retinopathy, with better effects than t-AUCB.
[0234] The distribution of the compounds from Examples 3 and 16 in ocular tissues was studied using Dutch rabbits. Six male Dutch rabbits (1.6–2.4 kg) were divided into two groups of three each. Each group received 50 μL of eye drops containing the compounds from Examples 3 and 16, respectively. The animals were sacrificed 0.5 h after administration, and samples of cornea, aqueous humor, bulbar conjunctiva, iris, vitreous body, choroid, retina, and sclera were immediately collected. The samples were homogenized with 20% methanol at a weight-to-volume ratio of 1:10, and the compound content in the supernatant was determined by LC-MS / MS. The experimental results are shown in Figure 19.
[0235] The results showed that the compounds in Examples 3 and 16 could reach the posterior retinal tissue after being administered as eye drops.
[0236] 10. Effects of the compounds in Examples 3 and 16 on the levels of 14,15-EET and 14,15-DHET in rats.
[0237] Male SD rats (250–300 g) were administered the test compounds of Examples 3 and 16 and EC5026 solution (8 mg / mL, 10% PEG 400 and 10% Tween 80 aqueous solution) by gavage at a dose of 20 mg / kg, with 6 rats in each group. Approximately 0.25 mL of blood was collected from the jugular sinus before administration and at 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 8 h after administration, and placed in EDTA-K2 anticoagulant tubes. The whole blood samples were centrifuged at 1500–1600 rpm for 10 min, and the separated plasma was stored at -40–-20°C. The concentrations of 14,15-EET and 14,15-DHET in rat plasma were determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS). The results are shown in Figure 20.
[0238] The results showed that the compounds in Example 3 and Example 16, as well as EC5026, could significantly increase the level of 14,15-EET and decrease the level of 14,15-DHET in rat plasma, with better effects than EC5026.
[0239] 11. Molecular docking results of EC5026, compounds from Examples 1, 3, and 16 with sEH
[0240] Using sEH cocrystal protein (PDB code: 4OCZ) as the docking model, The 4.5.208 software was used to perform molecular docking of EC5026, compounds from Examples 1, 3, and 16 with sEH, respectively.
[0241] The molecular docking results of EC5026 and sEH are shown in Figure 21. The 3-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl group in the EC5026 structure faces the hydrophobic region inside the cavity of the sEH protein. The phenyl group forms a π-π stacking interaction with the His524 residue, and the fluorine atom at position 3 forms a halogen bond with the Phe267 residue. The two NH groups of the urea fragment form a bidentate hydrogen bond with the Asp335 residue, and the carbonyl oxygen atom forms a hydrogen bond with the Tyr383 and Tyr466 residues, respectively. The (S)-2-methylbutyramide fragment extends into the solvent region.
[0242] The molecular docking results of the compound in Example 1 with sEH are shown in Figure 22. The 4-chlorophenyl group in the compound forms a π-π stacking interaction with the Phe267 residue in the hydrophobic region inside the cavity of the sEH protein; the benzothiazole structure forms an additional π-π stacking interaction with the Trp336 residue, and the nitrogen atom in the thiazole ring forms a hydrogen bond with Gln384; the two NH atoms of the urea fragment form a bidentate hydrogen bond with the Asp335 residue, and the oxygen atom of the urea fragment forms a hydrogen bond with the Tyr383 and Tyr466 residues, respectively; the (4-morpholino)ethyl moiety faces the solvent region.
[0243] The molecular docking results of the compound in Example 3 with sEH are shown in Figure 23. The 4-chlorophenyl group in the compound forms a π-π stacking interaction with the Phe267 residue in the hydrophobic region inside the cavity of the sEH protein; the benzothiazole structure forms an additional π-π stacking interaction with the Trp336 residue; the two NH groups of the urea fragment form a bidentate hydrogen bond with the Asp335 residue, and the oxygen atoms of the urea fragment form hydrogen bonds with the Tyr383 and Tyr466 residues, respectively; the (4-morpholino)ethyl moiety faces the solvent region.
[0244] The molecular docking results of the compound in Example 16 with sEH are shown in Figure 24. The 4-chlorophenyl group in the compound forms a π-π stacking interaction with the Phe267 residue in the hydrophobic region inside the cavity of the sEH protein; the benzothiazole structure forms an additional π-π stacking interaction with the Trp336 residue, and the F atom on the benzene ring forms an additional halogen bond interaction with the Asp335 residue; the two NH atoms of the urea fragment form a bidentate hydrogen bond interaction with the Asp335 residue, and the oxygen atom of the urea fragment forms hydrogen bonds with the Tyr383 and Tyr466 residues, respectively; the (2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)ethyl moiety faces the solvent region, and the ketone carbonyl group forms an additional hydrogen bond interaction with the Ile363 residue.
[0245] Compared to EC5026, the compounds in Examples 1, 3, and 16 not only maintained the key interaction forces equivalent to those between EC5026 and the sEH protein, but their benzothiazole structure also generated additional interaction forces with sEH, enabling them to bind better to the sEH protein and thus exhibiting superior inhibitory activity against sEH.
[0246] In summary, in the compounds of general formula I of this invention, the substituent R... 1 R 2 R 3 R 4 Structural modifications such as m, n, X, and Y are made to enable better binding with sEH, resulting in a good inhibitory effect on sEH and good therapeutic effects on inflammation, stroke, diabetes, fibrosis, pain, depression, and dry eye syndrome. This demonstrates that the interaction of specific substituents with sEH can achieve unexpected effects.
