Abstract
Description
A class of aromatic heterocyclic compounds, their preparation methods and applications
[0001] Cross-reference to related applications
[0002] This application claims priority and benefit to International Patent Application No. PCT / CN2024 / 140826, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on December 20, 2024, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and more specifically, to a class of aromatic heterocyclic compounds, as well as methods for preparing and using said compounds. Background Technology
[0004] Antihypertensive drugs are a class of medications that control blood pressure and treat hypertension. They can prevent damage to target organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys caused by long-term high blood pressure and reduce the risk of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke. Based on their mechanism of action, antihypertensive drugs can be classified into: diuretics, alpha-blockers, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers (CCBs), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and combination preparations, etc.
[0005] In hypertensive patients receiving long-term ACEIs or ARBs, the "aldosterone escape" phenomenon leads to a rebound in aldosterone levels after an initial decrease, which is associated with end-organ damage. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), after suppressing plasma aldosterone levels, can lead to an increase in aldosterone levels through compensatory mechanisms, thus limiting their efficacy. Furthermore, the adverse reactions of steroidal MRAs are mostly related to renal impairment or hyperkalemia, which is particularly detrimental to patients with renal damage, thus limiting their clinical application.
[0006] Aldosterone, a component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), plays a crucial role in regulating fluid and electrolyte homeostasis and is also a significant factor in end-organ damage in various cardiovascular and renal diseases. Elevated aldosterone levels are a major cause of hypertension, leading to water and sodium retention, increased blood volume, and consequently, hypertension. Furthermore, elevated aldosterone can further contribute to cardiovascular and renal events such as inflammation, organ damage, and fibrosis. Therefore, lowering aldosterone levels may be an effective strategy for managing hypertension and diseases caused by elevated aldosterone.
[0007] Aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) is a mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme that obtains molecular oxygen and electrons from NADPH via adrenocortical ferredoxin reductase (AdR) and adrenocortical ferredoxin (Adx), catalyzing a three-step oxidation sequence to convert 11-deoxycorticosterone (11-DOC) into aldosterone via the intermediates corticosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone. CYP11B2 is a key enzyme in the final three steps of aldosterone biosynthesis. Inhibiting CYP11B2 can prevent aldosterone formation and reduce its level in circulating plasma, thus showing promise as an effective strategy for treating diseases caused by hyperaldosteronism. Therefore, in recent years, blocking aldosterone biosynthesis with aldosterone synthase inhibitors has been explored as an alternative approach, and the development of aldosterone synthase inhibitors is of great significance in the treatment of cardiovascular and renal diseases.
[0008] Currently, the development of CYP11B2 inhibitors is in the clinical development stage. For example, baxdrostat, lorundrostat, and BI-690517 have completed Phase II clinical trials. Clinical trial results show that patients with refractory hypertension treated with baxdrostat (structural formula shown below) experienced dose-related reductions in blood pressure. An international multicenter Phase III clinical trial has been initiated to evaluate efficacy and safety in subjects with uncontrolled hypertension receiving two or more medications. In addition, Phase II or III clinical trials are underway for patients with essential aldosteronism and chronic kidney disease complicated by hypertension. Other studies have shown that lorundrostat met the pre-specified primary efficacy endpoint in pivotal Phase III and Phase II clinical trials for uncontrolled and refractory hypertension, demonstrating good safety and tolerability. No CYP11B2 inhibitors have yet been approved for marketing. Therefore, the discovery of effective and safe CYP11B2 inhibitors remains crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0174] Biological Experiment Examples
[0175] Experimental Example 1: Assay for human aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) inhibitory activity
[0176] Experimental reagents and instruments: Aldosterone kit (Cisbio, Cat#64ALDPEG); Envision microplate reader (PerkinElmer)
[0177] Experimental Principle and Methods: In the human body, aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) converts 11-deoxycorticosterone (11-DOC) into aldosterone through a series of metabolic processes. In this experiment, a stable G402 cell line overexpressing human CYP11B2 was constructed in vitro (see reference: Valentín-Goyco J, et al. Selectivity of osilodrostat as an inhibitor of human steroidogenic cytochromes P450. J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 2023, 231:106316.). Using 11-deoxycorticosterone (11-DOC) as a substrate, the test compound was added, and after co-incubation, the supernatant was collected. The aldosterone content in the supernatant was then detected by HTRF, and the inhibitory effect of the compound on aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) was calculated.
[0178] Experimental Procedure: 11-Deoxycorticosterone (11-DOC) was added to wells (10,000 cells / well) that had been plated one day in advance. Then, compounds diluted to different gradients were added to the corresponding wells and mixed thoroughly. A control well was also included. The final concentration of DMSO was 0.1%. The plates were incubated at 37°C / 5% CO2 for 24 hours. The collected supernatant was added to 384-well plates (10 μL / well), along with 5 μL of acceptor working solution and 5 μL of donor antibody. The plates were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 min and incubated at room temperature for 60–120 min. Finally, the fluorescence signal ratio at 665 nm / 615 nm was read using an Envision microplate reader (PerkinElmer).
[0179] Experimental data processing method: GraphPad Prism 5 software was used for test data processing and analysis. First, the average response signals of the high-signal and low-signal control wells were calculated separately. Then, the inhibition rate of each compound well was calculated using the formula: "Inhibition rate per well % = 100 - (Average signal value of high-signal control group - Signal value per well) / (Average signal value of high-signal control group - Average signal value of low-signal control group)". The concentration and corresponding inhibition rate data were then imported into Prism 5 software. The inhibition rate-concentration curve was fitted using the log(inhibitor) vs. response – Variable slop method in the software, and the IC50 of the compound was calculated. 50 value.

Using 11-deoxycortisol as a substrate, the test compound was added, and the cells were incubated together. The supernatant was then collected. The cortisol content in the supernatant was then detected using HTRF, and the inhibitory effect of the compound on 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) was calculated.
[0186] Experimental Procedure: 11-Deoxycortisol (11-Deoxycortisol) was added to wells plated one day in advance (10,000 cells / well). Then, compounds diluted to different gradients were added to the corresponding wells and mixed thoroughly. A control well was also included. The final concentration of DMSO was 0.1%. The plates were incubated at 37°C / 5% CO2 for 24 hours. The collected supernatant was added to 384-well plates (10 μL / well), along with 5 μL of Acceptor working solution and 5 μL of Donor Antibody. The plates were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 min and incubated at room temperature for 60–120 min. Finally, the fluorescence signal ratio at 665 nm / 615 nm was read using an Envision microplate reader (PerkinElmer).
[0187] Experimental data processing method: GraphPad Prism 5 software was used for test data processing and analysis. First, the average response signals of the high-signal control wells and the low-signal control wells were calculated separately.
