Description

Chiral cannabidiol derivative drugs and their applications Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry technology, specifically relating to the preparation method and application of chiral cannabidiol derivative drugs. Background Technology

[0002] Opioids, including morphine and its synthetic analogues extracted from poppy plants, are a class of drugs with potent analgesic effects. However, they are also highly addictive, making opioid addiction a chronic and relapsing disease that poses a serious challenge to global public health. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 69,000 people die each year from opioid overdoses, and about 15 million people worldwide suffer from opioid dependence. Currently, although various treatment strategies have been proposed, including drug maintenance therapy, withdrawal symptom management, comprehensive detoxification programs, and physical therapy, these methods have shown certain limitations in practical application and are insufficient to meet clinical treatment needs.

[0003] Maintenance therapy is a treatment approach for opioid addiction. Its core principle is to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, reduce opioid cravings, and ultimately achieve detoxification through the use of specific medications. Common medications include: weak opioid receptor agonists, such as methadone, which mimics the effects of morphine, reducing withdrawal symptoms and having a longer duration of action, thus helping to reduce drug-seeking behavior; and μ-opioid receptor (MOR) antagonists, such as naltrexone and naloxone, which reduce the effects of opioids by blocking their binding to receptors, helping patients avoid relapse. However, these treatments are not without drawbacks. They may have limited efficacy and significant side effects. For example, methadone itself is addictive and may lead to new dependence. Furthermore, long-term opioid use can cause neuroinflammation, releasing pro-inflammatory factors and affecting drug dependence and reward mechanisms.

[0004] Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that is gaining increasing attention due to its anti-inflammatory effects in the central nervous system (CNS) and its potential therapeutic applications for substance use disorders. However, CBD's high lipophilicity leads to poor oral bioavailability and significant first-pass metabolism in the liver, requiring higher doses to achieve the desired CNS activity. Furthermore, CBD use may be accompanied by side effects such as drowsiness, sedation, and decreased appetite, which may limit the development of CBD-based drugs.

[0005] To overcome these challenges, researchers are exploring ways to modify cannabidiol (CBD) to treat neuroinflammation and opioid addiction, thereby overcoming the drawbacks of CBD.

[0006] The novel cannabinoid derivative CIAC001 shows potential for anti-neuroinflammatory activity and modulation of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) activity, offering new hope for therapeutic applications. This derivative significantly enhances its anti-inflammatory activity and reduces cytotoxicity by shortening the side chain to two carbon atoms and introducing a triazole structure onto the side chain. CIAC001 is non-addictive, has no significant side effects, and its stronger ability to cross the blood-brain barrier makes it a promising lead compound for the development of drugs targeting the central nervous system. However, the carbon atom in which the triazole is attached to the CIAC001 side chain is a chiral carbon; previous studies have been conducted in the racemic form, failing to consider chiral recognition and exhibiting a short half-life.

[0007] Chiral recognition also plays a crucial role in the biological activity of cannabinoids. Naturally occurring cannabinoids, primarily in the negative conformation, can specifically bind to CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, exerting analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. In contrast, synthetically produced positive conformation cannabinoids cannot effectively bind to cannabinoid receptors.

[0008] Furthermore, by introducing substituents at the C10 position of the CBD molecule, axially chiral cannabinoid derivatives axCBNs were successfully synthesized. Among them, axCBN3, with a hydroxyethyl substituent at the C10 position, showed significantly enhanced affinity for CB1 and CB2 receptors, reaching 66 pM and 93 pM, respectively, representing increases of 335-fold and 160-fold.

[0009] CP55940 and CP56667 are a pair of chiral isomers of noncannabinoid cyclohexylphenols, exhibiting mirror-symmetry in structure. The negative isomer CP55940 demonstrates a significant activity advantage in inhibiting the cannabinoid receptor CB1, with its inhibition constant Ki value being significantly lower than that of the positive isomer CP56667.

[0010] In current drug development, it is no longer permitted to use the racemic form of drugs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop CIAC001 derivatives with different chiralities to enhance its activity and improve its shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

Enantiomer purity of CBD analogs was determined using an ODHOCE-AP039 OD-H chiral column from Daicel. The purity of all compounds exceeded 95%.

[0050] PKM2 kinase activity assay:

[0051] First, 100 μL of PKM2 protein solution at 100 pg / mL was added to a black 96-well plate. Then, 100 μM of FBP (fructose 1,6-bisphosphate) was introduced, and the plate was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. Next, 100 μL of reaction buffer containing 100 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 20 mM MgCl2, 200 mM KCl, 0.1% Tween, 1.8 mM ADP (adenosine diphosphate), 1.2 mM PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate), 0.24 mM β-NADH (β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), and 16 U / mL LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) was added to the protein solution. Then, the drug was introduced at different concentrations, and the plate was incubated for another 40 minutes. Changes in NADH levels are measured by monitoring excitation light at 340 nm and emission light at 460 nm, i.e., by measuring changes in absorbance at these two wavelengths.

[0052] Fluorescent titration:

[0053] PKM2 protein (0.5 μM) was titrated stepwise with the CIAC001 chiral isomer. Fluorescence intensity was recorded at an excitation wavelength of 280 nm and an emission wavelength of 337 nm using an Agilent Technologies Cary Eclipse spectrophotometer. The data were corrected for reference spectra and fitted to a nonlinear least squares equation: F = F0 - F PL ×[LP2]=F0-F PL ×(L T ×P T -((K D 2 / 4+P T 2 / 4+L T ×P T ) 2 -(LT ×P T 2 ×(4×L T +4×P T )) / 4) 0.5 +K D 2 / 4+P T 2 / 4) / (2×L T +2×P T ); where F represents the measured fluorescence intensity; F0 represents the initial fluorescence intensity of PKM2 in the absence of the CIAC001 chiral isomer; F PL It is a parameter used to regulate the molar fluorescence of protein-ligand complexes; K D It is the dissociation constant; L T It is the total concentration of the chiral isomers of CIAC001; P T It is the total concentration of PKM2.

[0054] Cellular thermal displacement analysis:

[0055] BV-2 cells were administered at a rate of 4 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 5 Cells were cultured at a density of 1000 g / cm³. After 24 hours of incubation, the culture medium was removed, and the cells were washed with 3 mL of cold PBS and scraped off for collection. Cells were centrifuged at 1000 g for 5 min at 4 °C, resuspended in cell lysis buffer containing a 1% protease inhibitor mixture, and incubated on ice. Lysates were centrifuged at 12000 g for 15 min at 4 °C, and the supernatant was retained. The supernatant was incubated with 100 μL of MCIAC001 chiral isomer or control solvent at room temperature for 2 h. The lysates were aliquoted into 60 μL portions and heated from 37 °C to 72 °C for 5 min, then cooled at 25 °C for 3 min. The samples were centrifuged at 12000 g for 20 min at 4 °C, and the supernatant was mixed with 2×Laemmli sample buffer and denatured at 100 °C for 8 min for Western blotting analysis using PKM2 antibody.

[0056] Immunoblotting:

[0057] Protein samples were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking in 5% skim milk powder for 1 hour, the membranes were incubated overnight with primary antibody at 4°C. Subsequently, the membranes were washed with TBST buffer for 5 minutes and then incubated with the secondary antibody-HRP (horseradish peroxidase) conjugate for 1 hour at room temperature. The membranes were developed using Super-Signal West Pico chemiluminescent substrates and visualized on a Tanon-5200Multi imaging system. Band density analysis was performed using ImageJ software.

[0058] Molecular dynamics simulation:

[0059] Chiral isomers of CIAC001 were plotted using GaussView 6 software and optimized using Gaussian 09 software with the B3LYP / 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The 3D structure of the PKM2 tetramer was extracted from the crystal structure (PDB ID: 3ME3), and the activator was removed from the structure before docking. Missing hydrogen atoms were added using Maestro software at pH 7.0. AutoDock Vina 1.1.2 was used for molecular docking, with a docking box size of [missing information]. The PKM2 tetramer was fully covered. During docking, the protein was treated as rigid and the ligand as semi-flexible. Based on their affinity for the PKM2 tetramer, the docking posture with the best binding affinity to PKM2 was selected from ten docking postures generated and ranked by AutoDock Vina. The interaction between PKM2 and the CIAC001 chiral isomer was analyzed using LigPlot+ and PyMol software.

[0060] The binding of the CIAC001 chiral isomer to the PKM2 tetramer was further investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The optimal docking posture was selected as the initial structure. The complex, containing TIP3P water molecules and 150 mM KCl, was constructed using the CHARMM-GUI web server. Simulations were performed using the Gromacs 2021.2 program and the CHARMM36m force field. Equilibrium was established for 100 nanoseconds at a temperature of 310.15 K in a isothermal-barotropic (NPT) ensemble. The LINCS algorithm was applied to confine bonds involving hydrogen atoms. The particle mesh Ewald (PME) summation method was used to handle long-range electrostatic interactions. The temperature (310.15 K) and pressure (1 atm) were maintained using the Nose-Hoover Langevin piston method and the Parrinello-Rahman pressure controller.

[0061] Cell culture:

[0062] BV-2 cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. The incubator was maintained at 37°C, 95% humidity, and 5% CO2.

[0063] Subcellular localization of PKM2:

[0064] BV-2 cells were treated with 200 ng / mL LPS and 10 μM CIAC001 chiral isomer for 6 hours. Cells were washed, harvested with ice-cold PBS, and centrifuged at 800 g at 4°C for 5 minutes. Cells were lysed on ice with a mixture of cytoplasmic lysis buffer (10 mM HEPES pH 7.6, 10 mM KCl, 0.5 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1.5 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM DTT) and protease inhibitors for 20 minutes. NP40 was added to the lysis buffer to a final concentration of 0.5%, and the mixture was incubated on ice for 2 minutes. The lysis buffer was centrifuged at 2000 g at 4°C for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was used as the cytoplasmic lysis buffer. The precipitate was washed twice with ice-cold PBS. Nuclear precipitates were lysed on ice for 30 minutes using a mixture of nuclear lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 450 mM NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 0.5% NP-40, and 1 mM DTT) and protease inhibitors. The lysis buffer was centrifuged at 12,000 g at 4 °C for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was used as the nuclear lysis buffer. The nuclear lysis buffer was diluted with low-salt buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6 and 2 mM MgCl2) to achieve a final salt concentration of 150 mM. Total protein concentrations in the nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts were determined by the BCA assay and then normalized. The lysis buffer supernatant was denatured in 2×Laemmli sample buffer at 100 °C for 8 minutes for Western blotting analysis using the appropriate antibodies.

[0065] Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR):

[0066] Total RNA was extracted from cells or mouse brains using the RNeasy Mini kit. Following the manufacturer's instructions, the isolated RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the RT2Easy First Strand cDNA synthesis kit. Subsequent PCR amplification employed synthetic primers, SYBR Green assay, and the TOptical real-time qPCR thermal cycler from Analytick Jena in Jena, Thuringia, Germany. Data analysis was performed using the ΔΔCt method, with Rpl7l1 as an internal control gene. The primer sequences for qRT-PCR are as follows: Rpl7l1 (forward: ACGGTGGAGCCTTATGTGAC; reverse: TCCGTCAGAGGACTGTCTT), IL-1β (forward: CCACCTTTTGACAGTGATGA; reverse: GAGATTTTGAAGCTGGATGCT).

[0067] Nitric oxide (NO) detection:

[0068] BV-2 cells were used at a rate of 5 × 10⁶ cells per well. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of [number] cells per well in 96-well plates. After 24 hours, the medium was removed and replaced with DMEM medium free of FBS and penicillin-streptomycin. LPS (200 ng / mL) and a series of compound concentrations were added. After 24 hours of treatment, 100 μL of the medium was transferred to a flat-bottomed black 96-well microplate. 10 μL of 0.05 mg / mL 2,3-diaminonaphthalene was introduced, followed by incubation in the dark for 15 minutes. The reaction was terminated by adding 5 μL of 3M NaOH to each well. NO inhibition rate was measured using a SYNERGY H1 microplate reader (BioTek Instruments) at excitation and emission wavelengths of 360 nm and 430 nm, respectively. The fluorescence value of the group treated with LPS only was used as a 100% reference.

[0069] Cell morphology determination:

[0070] BV-2 cells were planted at 2.5 × 10⁶ cells per well. 5 Cells were seeded at a density of [number] cells per well in 6-well plates and incubated for 12 hours. Subsequently, cells were treated with 5 μM CIAC001 chiral isomer, with or without LPS (200 ng / mL), for 24 hours. Microscopic images of BV-2 cells were taken using an inverted microscope (Ts2-FL, Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) and analyzed using ImageJ software. Statistical analysis was performed on at least three hundred cells.

[0071] Animal husbandry:

[0072] Male BALB / c mice aged 6-8 weeks and weighing 20-28g were housed in a temperature-controlled environment (21-24°C) following a 12-hour day-night cycle, with lights turned on at 08:00 AM. The mice had free access to standard rodent food and water and were acclimatized to the environment for at least one week before any experimental procedures were performed.

[0073] Conditional position preference (CPP) experiments:

[0074] The CPP experiment was conducted according to the classic 10-day procedure. On days 1 and 2, each mouse was placed in the CPP device for 15 minutes to acclimatize. On day 3 (pretreatment), the time spent in each compartment was recorded to determine preference for either compartment. Mice were divided into three groups: a control group, a 7.5 mg / kg morphine group, and a 7.5 mg / kg morphine + 0.2 mg / kg (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 or (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 group. During the conditioned phase, mice were isolated in compartments for 30 minutes each for 6 consecutive days. Morphine was administered to mice on days 4, 6, and 8, while the control (5 mL / kg) was administered on days 5, 7, and 9. The posttreatment phase was conducted 24 hours after the conditioned phase. Each mouse was placed in the device and allowed to explore freely, and the time spent in each compartment was recorded for 15 minutes. The CPP score is calculated by subtracting the time spent in the control drug pairing compartment from the time spent in the control drug pairing compartment.

[0103] In summary, the synthetic routes for compounds 6a-6d are shown in Figure 1.

[0104] Example 2: In vitro binding experiment of chiral CIAC001

[0105] 1. Allosteric regulatory activity of CIAC001 chiral isomers

[0106] PKM2 was first activated by pre-incubation with FBP for 10 minutes; then, chiral isomers were introduced and their allosteric regulatory effects on PKM2 were assessed using a PKM2-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme coupling assay.

[0107] As shown in Figure 2A, (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 exhibits dose-dependent inhibition of PKM2 enzyme activity, with an IC50 value of [missing information]. 50 The value was 13.3 ± 4.1 μM, and ΔE max The value was 50.7 ± 1.4%, while the enantiomer (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 showed a significantly reduced inhibitory activity against PKM2, with its ΔE... max Only 23.0 ± 3.8%. Both (7R)-(+)-CIAC001 and (7S)-(+)-CIAC001 showed a ΔE of less than 15.0%. maxThe values ​​indicate that they have poor inhibitory activity against PKM2. Therefore, PKM2 has a stereochemical recognition mechanism specific to the enantiomers (7R)-(-)-CIA C001 and (7S)-(-)-CIAC001.

[0108] 2. Measure the binding constant between the small molecule and the target protein.

[0109] Fluorescent titration measures the binding constant of a small molecule to a target protein by assessing the decrease in protein fluorescence during molecular interactions.

[0110] As shown in Figure 2B, the intrinsic fluorescence of recombinant PKM2 protein decreased in a dose-dependent manner with the addition of (7S)-(-)-CIAC001, yielding a dissociation constant KD of 2.4 ± 1.3 μM for the CIAC001-PKM2 interaction (Figure 2B). Conversely, the intrinsic fluorescence of PKM2 induced by (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 decreased by less than 10.0%, highlighting the selective interaction between (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 and PKM2. Furthermore, cellular thermal shift analysis (CETSA) was used to verify the different thermostability effects of (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 and (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 on PKM2. Briefly, the CETSA assay involved incubating cell lysates with or without enantiomers, followed by heating to induce protein denaturation and precipitation. Soluble proteins were then separated from fragments and aggregates. Residual protein was quantified using Western blotting. The combination of (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 reduces the thermal stability of PKM2, which is reflected in the shift in its melting temperature (Tm), ΔT m The value was 4.07 ± 1.10 °C (Figures 2C-2D). (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 failed to affect the phase transition temperature (ΔT) of PKM2. m =1.61±0.35℃), which indicates that PKM2 has different binding differences to the enantiomers of CIAC001 in vitro.

[0111] In summary, in vitro data consistently show that (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 binds to PKM2 better than (7R)-(-)-CIAC001.

[0112] Example 3: Study on the mechanism of chiral CIAC001 recognizing PKM2

[0113] To investigate the stereochemical recognition mechanism between (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 and PKM2, molecular docking experiments were conducted.

[0114] Both (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 and (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 bind to the tetrameric subunit interface of PKM2 (PDB ID: 3ME3, Figure 3A) and form hydrogen bonds with Y390 (Figure 3B). Due to its unique chirality, (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 undergoes π-π stacking with F26 in both subunits, while (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 forms this interaction with only one subunit (Figures 3B-2C). Consistent with the docking results, MM / PBSA binding free energy calculations confirm that (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 has a stronger binding affinity to the PKM2 tetramer, with its ΔG binding The effective value was -62.12 ± 0.41 kcal / mol, lower than its enantiomer's -40.95 ± 0.53 kcal / mol. The role of alanine mutation at the F26 position of PKM2 in the stereochemical recognition of CIAC001 enantiomers was determined. This mutation did not alter the activity level of the wild-type PKM2 (Fig. 3D), but prevented the allosteric inhibition of the mutant PKM2F26A by (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 (Fig. 3E). Furthermore, fluorescence titration data showed that (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 could not bind to the F26A-PKM2 mutant, resulting in no fluorescence quenching (Fig. 3F). (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 docked with the mutant PKM2 lost its binding ability to F26 and Y390, instead forming a hydrogen bond with D354.

[0115] In summary, amino acid F26 is a key residue for chiral recognition of PKM2 by (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 and (7R)-(-)-CIAC001.

[0116] Example 4: In vitro anti-inflammatory activity of chiral CIAC001

[0117] In vivo, stereochemical recognition leads to different biological activities of drugs. In inflammatory responses, PKM2 is overexpressed and translocates to the nucleus, where it collaborates with HIF-1α to control the expression of inflammatory genes, particularly IL-1β.

[0118] As shown in Figure 4A, LPS treatment significantly increased the amount of PKM2 in the cell nucleus. (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 effectively counteracted LPS-induced PKM2 nuclear translocation, while the enantiomer (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 showed a weaker inhibitory effect. To assess the transcriptional effect, IL-1β mRNA levels were monitored 6 hours after treatment with (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 or (7R)-(-)-CIAC001. At a concentration of 10 μM, both isoforms reduced LPS-induced IL-1β mRNA upregulation to the same extent, but (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 showed stronger potency at a concentration of 1 μM (Figure 4B). The increased release of IL-1β led to the upregulation of nitric oxide production, which in turn triggered an inflammatory response. (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 inhibited LPS-induced NO production in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 3.3 ± 0.4 μM (Fig. 4C). However, compared with (7S)-(-)-CIAC001, the anti-neuroinflammatory activity of (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 was reduced by 4-fold (IC50 = 13.2 ± 3.7). Microglia adjust their cellular morphology phenotype according to various stimuli. Untreated BV-2 cells are mainly small and round. Under LPS activation, the cell volume increases and transforms into an amoeboid morphology, and microglia activation is significantly increased (Fig. 4D-4E). (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 significantly counteracted the LPS-induced morphological changes and inhibited microglia activation, while (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 failed to completely reverse microglia activation.

[0119] These results indicate that (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 has superior anti-inflammatory activity compared to (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 due to the difference in stereochemical recognition by PKM2.

[0120] Example 5: Antimorphine Addiction Activity of Chiral CIAC001

[0121] Morphine activates TLR4 receptors in the central nervous system, inducing inflammation and enhancing its reward effect. To confirm the different stereochemical recognitions of (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 and (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 in vivo, the Pavlovian conditioned position preference (CPP) test, a commonly used model for assessing drug addiction, was employed. Mice were trained for six days by associating morphine with a black-and-white room (Fig. 5A). After morphine training, mice developed a significant preference for morphine, with a CPP score of 314 seconds, indicating psychological dependence on morphine (Fig. 5B). Treatment with (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 eliminated the preference for morphine in trained mice, while (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 failed to treat psychological dependence on morphine. Following the CPP test, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) samples were extracted from the mice to measure IL-1β mRNA levels. (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 alleviated the surge in IL-1β caused by morphine, while (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 had almost no effect (Figure 5C).

[0122] Therefore, the stereochemical recognition of CIAC001 is the reason for the difference in efficacy between (7S)-(-)-CIAC001 and (7R)-(-)-CIAC001 in the treatment of morphine addiction.

[0123] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it.
