Technical Field
[0004] This disclosure relates to a phenyl-substituted heterocyclic compound, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0005] Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an age-related structural change in the macula. Patients are mostly over 50 years old, with bilateral involvement occurring sequentially or simultaneously, and progressive vision loss severely impacting their quality of life. RBP4, a key protein for transporting retinol in the body, is synthesized by the liver and transports retinol from the liver to the eye via the bloodstream.

[0236] Example 1: RBP4 Inhibition Effect Test
[0237] Laboratory animals: Mice; Species and strain: ICR SPF grade; Sex and age: Male, 8 weeks old;
[0238] Compounds P3, P4, and P6 prepared in Examples 3, 4, and 6 were dissolved in PBS + 5% DMSO to prepare compound solutions.
[0239] Mice that had been fasted for 8 hours were administered the above-mentioned compound solution via gavage, with a blank control group of mice (administered physiological saline). The dosage was 3 mg / kg. Plasma samples were collected from the animals at 0, 5, and 8 hours after administration (three parallel experiments were conducted). The samples were placed in ordinary centrifuge tubes or coagulation-promoting tubes for 30 minutes, centrifuged at 1000g, and 50-100 μL of serum was collected and stored at -80°C for biochemical analysis within 3 days. The RBP4 protein content in mouse plasma was measured to determine the efficacy of the compound. The results are shown in the table below.
[0240] In the table above, a negative inhibition rate indicates that the RBP4 protein content in plasma has increased compared to before drug administration.
[0241] Example 2: Liver microsomal stability test
[0242] P3, P4, P6 and verapamil hydrochloride prepared in Examples 3, 4 and 6 were dissolved in DMSO to form working solutions.
[0243] Add 358 μL of 0.5587 mg / mL microparticle solution and 40 μL of 8.334 mg / mL NADPH solution to a 96-well incubation plate. Vortex at 800 rpm for 10 seconds, then pre-incubate at 37°C for 10 minutes. The negative sample is prepared with 40 μL of PBS solution. After pre-incubation, add 2 μL of the compound working solution to each well to start the reaction. After mixing, remove 50 μL of the reaction mixture from each well at 0.5, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes and add it to 200 μL of internal standard stop solution to terminate the reaction. The reaction is carried out at 37°C in a water bath at 60 rpm. After mixing by vortexing at 800 rpm for 3-5 minutes, centrifuge at 3220 g for 30 minutes at 4°C. Take 100 μL of supernatant and mix it with 100 μL of ultrapure water (the ratio of supernatant to ultrapure water can be adjusted according to the sample chromatographic peak shape and signal response) and use it for liquid chromatography-mass analysis.
[0244] The internal standard method was used, and the ratio of the sample peak area to the internal standard peak area was used to calculate the remaining percentage (with the ratio of the sample peak area to the internal standard peak area at 0.5 minutes being 100%).
[0245] Plot the natural logarithm of the remaining percentage against the incubation time. The slope of the straight line is the elimination rate constant k. Calculate the half-life t1 / 2 and the clearance rate Clint using the following formulas.
[0246] The results are shown in the table below.

[0254] At specified time points, 50 μL of pre-cooled quenching solution (containing methanol internal standards (100 nM Tolbutamide, 200 nM Labetalol, 100 nM Ketoprofen, 200 nM Imipramine) was added to stop the reaction (Phenacetin: 20 min; Bupropion: 20 min; Diclofenac: 5 min; (s)-Mephenytoin: 20 min; Bufuralol: 20 min; Testosterone: 10 min). The mixture was centrifuged at 3220 g for 45 min at 4 °C. Then, 40 μL of the supernatant was transferred to a new 384-well plate, and 40 μL of water was added for LC-MS / MS analysis.
[0255] Data analysis. The formation of metabolites was analyzed using LC-MS / MS. The inhibition rate percentage (%) was calculated by the decrease in the ratio of metabolite peak area to the solvent control group. Residual activity percentage = (average ratio of test compound or inhibitor / average ratio of solvent control group) x 100%. Inhibition rate percentage = 100% - residual activity percentage.
