Abstract
Description
A cyclic peptide compound and its uses Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a cyclic peptide compound and its uses, particularly its use in the preparation of medicaments for the prevention, treatment, relief or regulation of diseases mediated by melanocortin receptors. Background Technology
[0002] Melanocortin receptors (MCRs) influence inflammation, immune system responses, metabolism, food intake, and sexual function. There are five types of melanocortin receptors in the human body, named MC1R to MC5R. Significant pharmacological effects can be achieved by modulating these receptors using receptor-specific agonists that activate their function or receptor-specific antagonists that block their function. Many tissues and immune cells in the eye (as well as in other sites such as the intestines and kidneys) express melanocortin receptors, allowing drugs the opportunity to directly activate these naturally occurring pathways to address disease inflammation.
[0003] Melanocortin receptors and their subtypes include: 1) melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R), expressed on normal human melanocytes, melanoma cells, macrophages, and other cells, which is involved in inflammation-mediated processes, hair and skin pigmentation, and other functions; 2) melanocortin receptor 2 (MC2R), expressed on adrenal cells, which mediates steroid production; 3) melanocortin receptors 3 and 4 (MC3R and MC4R), expressed on cells in the hypothalamus, midbrain, brainstem, and peripheral tissues, which are involved in energy homeostasis, feeding behavior, inflammation-mediated processes, and other functions; and 4) melanocortin receptor 5 (MC5R), expressed in widely distributed peripheral tissues, which is involved in the regulation of the exocrine gland system and other functions.
[0004] Despite extensive research and numerous patent applications filed by pharmaceutical companies and medical scientists regarding melanocortin receptor-specific peptides, only bremelanotide (trade name) has been approved in the United States. For sale, for use in premenopausal women with decreased libido; Amerin (under brand name) Three drugs are available for sale, including one for preventing phototoxicity in adult patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria. Currently, there are no drugs on the market for melanocortin receptor-mediated ophthalmic diseases, indicating an unmet clinical need. Summary of the Invention

Conversely, various features of the invention, for brevity, have been described in a single embodiment, but may also be provided individually or in any suitable sub-combination.
[0049] Unless otherwise stated, all technical terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. All patents and publications related to this invention are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0050] Unless otherwise stated, the following definitions shall apply as used herein. For the purposes of this invention, chemical elements are consistent with the periodic table (CAS edition) and the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75th edition, 1994. Furthermore, general principles of organic chemistry can be found in “Organic Chemistry”, Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausalito: 1999, and “March's Advanced Organic Chemistry” by Michael B. Smith and Jerry March, John Wiley & Sons, New York: 2007, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0051] Unless otherwise stated or there is a clear conflict in the context, the articles “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein are intended to include “at least one” or “one or more.” Therefore, these articles as used herein refer to articles for one or more (i.e., at least one) objects. For example, “a component” refers to one or more components, meaning that more than one component may be considered for use or adoption in the implementation of the described embodiments.
[0052] The term "patient" as used in this invention refers to a person (including adults and children) or other animal. In some embodiments, "patient" refers to a person.
[0053] The term "subject" as used in this invention refers to a mammal or other animal. In some embodiments, "subject" refers to a mammal. In some embodiments, "subject" refers to a human (including adults and children).
[0054] The term "comprising" is an open-ended expression, meaning it includes the contents specified in this invention, but does not exclude other aspects.
[0055] "Stereoisomers" are compounds that have the same chemical structure but whose atoms or groups are arranged differently in space. Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, conformational isomers (rotational isomers), geometric isomers (cis / trans) isomers, and hindered isomers, etc.
[0056] A diastereomer is a stereoisomer that has two or more chiral centers and whose molecules are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers have different physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, spectral properties, and reactivity. Mixtures of diastereomers can be separated by high-resolution analytical procedures such as electrophoresis and chromatography, for example, HPLC.
[0057] The stereochemical definitions and rules used in this invention generally follow those of S.P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984), McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994.
[0058] Many organic compounds exist in an optically active form, meaning they possess the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing optically active compounds, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to indicate the absolute configuration of the molecule with respect to one or more of its chiral centers. The prefixes d and l or (+) and (-) are symbols used to specify the plane-polarized light rotation caused by the compound, where (-) or l indicates that the compound is levorotatory. Compounds with the prefix (+) or d are dextrorotatory. A specific stereoisomer is an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is called a racemic mixture or racemate, which can occur when there is no stereoselectivity or stereospecificity in the chemical reaction or process.
[0059] Any asymmetric atom (e.g., carbon, etc.) in the compounds disclosed in this invention can exist in a racemic or enantiomerically enriched form, such as in (R)-, (S)-, or (R,S)- configurations. In some embodiments, each asymmetric atom has at least 50% enantiomeric excess, at least 60% enantiomeric excess, at least 70% enantiomeric excess, at least 80% enantiomeric excess, at least 90% enantiomeric excess, at least 95% enantiomeric excess, or at least 99% enantiomeric excess in the (R)- or (S)- configuration.
[0060] Depending on the choice of starting materials and methods, the compounds of this invention can exist as one or a mixture of possible isomers, such as racemic mixtures and diastereomeric mixtures (depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms). Optically active (R)- or (S)- isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituents may be E or Z configurations; if the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl group, the cycloalkyl substituents may be cis or trans configurations.
[0061] Any mixture of stereoisomers obtained can be separated into pure or substantially pure geometric isomers, enantiomers, and diastereomers based on differences in the physicochemical properties of the components, for example, by chromatography and / or fractional crystallization.
[0062] Unless otherwise indicated, the structural formulas described in this invention include all isomers (e.g., enantiomers, diastereomers, and geometric isomers (or conformational isomers): for example, R and S configurations containing an asymmetric center, (Z) and (E) isomers of double bonds, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, any single stereochemical isomer of the compounds of this invention, or a mixture of its enantiomers, diastereomers, or geometric isomers (or conformational isomers), is within the scope of this invention.
[0063] As used in this invention, the term "prodrug" refers to the conversion of a compound into the compounds represented by the general formulas of this invention in vivo. Such conversion is influenced by the hydrolysis of the prodrug in the blood or its enzymatic conversion into the parent structure in the blood or tissues. The prodrug compounds of this invention can be esters; in existing inventions, esters that can serve as prodrugs include phenyl esters, aliphatic (C1-24) esters, acyloxymethyl esters, carbonates, carbamates, and amino acid esters. For example, a compound in this invention contains a hydroxyl group, meaning it can be acylated to obtain the prodrug form. Other prodrug forms include phosphate esters, such as those obtained by phosphorylation of a hydroxyl group on the parent compound. For a complete discussion of prodrugs, please refer to the following literature: T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Prodrugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the ACSSymposium Series; Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987; J. Rautio et al, Prodrugs: Design and Clinical Applications, Nature Review Drug Discovery, 2008, 7, 255-270; and SJ Hecker et al, Prodrugs of Phosphates and Phosphonates, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2008, 51, 2328-2345.
[0064] Racemic mixtures of any resulting end product or intermediate can be separated into optical enantiomers using known methods, such as by separating their diastereomeric salts. Racemic products can also be separated by chiral chromatography, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using chiral adsorbents. In particular, enantiomers can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis, for example, see Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis (2nd Ed. Robert E. Gawley, Jeffrey Aubé, Elsevier, Oxford, UK, 2012); Eliel, ELStereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); Wilen, SH Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (ELEliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972); Chiral Separation Techniques: A Practical Approach (Subramanian, G. Ed., Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, Germany, 2007).
[0065] 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 in 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. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomer forms of the compounds of this invention are within the scope of this invention.
[0066] The salts mentioned in this invention are pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" is well known in the field, as described in the literature: Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J.

[0349] Biological testing
[0350] Example 1: Compound promotes cAMP production
[0351] This embodiment uses the LANCE Ultra cAMP kit (Revvity, TRF0264) to detect cellular cAMP levels, aiming to analyze the agonistic effects of compounds on MC1R and MC5R in cells. CHO cells overexpressing MC1R and MC5R were cultured in F-12 medium (37°C, 5% CO2) containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 0.2 mg / mL Hygromycin B. Cells were passaged at approximately 80% confluence or subjected to the following experiments. A 1×Stimulation Buffer was prepared according to the LANCE Ultra cAMP kit instructions. The test compounds were serially diluted 10× using the 1×Stimulation Buffer (MC1R starting at 1 nM, MC5R starting at 10 nM; 1:3 dilution, 10 concentrations). Count and dilute the cells obtained from the digestion and resuspending process to the target concentrations (55,000 cells / mL for MC1R and 220,000 cells / mL for MC5R). Add 9 μL of cells to each well of a 384-well plate (500 cells / well for MC1R and 2,000 cells / well for MC5R). Then add 1 μL of the corresponding concentration of compound to each well. Incubate at 37°C for 30 min. Dilute Eu-cAMP to the working concentration with detection buffer and add 5 μL to each well. Use detection buffer to... TM The anti-cAMP antibody was diluted to the working concentration, and 5 μL was added to each well; incubated at room temperature for 1 h. The emission values at 665 nm and 620 nm were detected using a microplate reader (BMG, PHERAstar FSX) under excitation at 330 nm, and the 665 / 620 ratio was calculated. The cAMP production at each concentration was calculated, and curve fitting and EC50 were performed using GraphPad with a 4-parameter method. 50 The calculations are shown in Table 1.

[0353] Example 2: Compound inhibits TNF-α production in mice
[0354] The inhibitory effect of the compound on this pro-inflammatory factor was evaluated by detecting the TNF-α content in mice. Thirty male C57 / 6j mice (5 mice / group) aged 4-6 weeks (Vitollivar) were injected via tail vein with 0.5 mg / kg of the test compound (dissolved in physiological saline, 5 mL / kg); 30 min later, each mouse was injected intraperitoneally with 5 μg LPS (Sigma, L2630); 1 h later, 50 μL of blood was collected via the orbital venous plexus. After the blood was left at room temperature for 30 min, it was centrifuged (4000g, 10 min) to obtain serum. The serum TNF-α content was then detected using a Mouse TNF-α Elisa kit (Invitrogen, ECM008). The TNF-α inhibition rate (%) was calculated using a control group (no compound administered, only LPS induction), as shown in Table 2.
