Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a ligand molecule of G protein-coupled receptor 84 (GPR84). The ligand molecule of the present invention has an antagonistic activity of GPR84, can competitively inhibit the activation of the receptor by an agonist of GPR84, and can be used to treat various diseases related to high expression or hyperexcitability of GPR84, such as multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, organ fibrosis, arthritis and the like.


BACKGROUND TECHNIQUE

GPR84 is a G protein-coupled receptor discovered in 2001. It is coupled to the Gi pathway and can be activated by medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) with a chain length of C9-C14. After activation, GPR84 can inhibit adenylyl cyclase and reduce the production of cAMP. GPR84 is expressed in a variety of tissues or organs, such as heart, lung, kidney, liver, bone marrow, fat, etc., especially in myeloid cells related to the innate immune system, including monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils in the peripheral blood, and microglia in the central nervous system. Under physiological conditions, the expression of GPR84 in leukocytes and adipocytes is low, but acute inflammatory stimuli (such as lipopolysaccharide LPS, TNFα, or inflammatory responses associated with many diseases) can induce a significant upregulation of GPR84 expression. The activation of GPR84 can enhance the phagocytosis of macrophages, promote the chemotaxis of immune cells, increase the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-12 p40), thereby amplifying the body's inflammatory response; in contrast the knockout of GPR84 resultes in decreased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, and TNF) in macrophages, along with increased secretion of Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) in T cells. The above studies have confirmed the pro-inflammatory role of GPR84 in the body's metabolic regulation and immune response, and subsequent studies have revealed that GPR84 is related to the development of various inflammatory and metabolic diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS, Glia 2007, 55, 790-800), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, J. Med. Chem. 2020, 63, 13526-13545), organ fibrosis (J. Clin. Med. 2020, 9, 4, Am. J. Pathol.2018, 188, 1132-1148), arthritis (Curr. Opin. Clin. Nutr. Metab. Care 2011, 14, 322-327) and the like. Therefore, GPR84 is a potential target for the treatment of the above diseases, and GPR84 antagonists are expected to be used in the treatment of these diseases.


To date, only the patents of Galapagos (Belgium) and Liminal (Canada) report GPR84 antagonists. The compounds from Galapagos have tetrahydroisoquinolinopyrimidinone (or pyridone) as a core (WO2013092791, WO2014095798, WO2015197550, WO2016169911). The representative compound GLPG1205, a GPR84 negative allosteric agent with high activity (J. Med. Chem. 2020, 63, 13526-13545), was previously entered into phase II clinical study as a candidate drug for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, but the trial was terminated due to a lack of significant difference in efficacy from the placebo group. The compound is undergoing a second phase II clinical evaluation for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. PBI-4050 and PBI-4547 from Liminal are non-selective GPR84 antagonists, and their structures are 3-n-pentyl phenylacetate sodium and 3,5-di-n-pentyl phenylacetate sodium, both of which are analogues of fatty acids. The antagonistic activities on GPR84 are at the micromolar level, and they have agonistic activity on fatty acid receptors GPR40 and GPR120. The phase II clinical trial of PBI-4050 for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has been completed, and the phase II/III clinical trial for the treatment of Alström is currently underway; and PBI-4547 is undergoing phase I clinical study as a drug candidate for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.


Nan fajun et al. have reported a class of GPR84 antagonists with a phosphodiester structure having high activity (WO2018161831), in which both ester groups are tricyclic structures. The representative compound XYF573c can significantly alleviate the symptoms of DSS-induced enteritis in mice and the effect is better than that of sulfasalazine at the same dose. In addition, tissue distribution studies show that XYF573c can be selectively distributed in the intestinal tract (AUC0-8h=24447.42 h*ng/mL, oral administration: 5 mg/kg), while the exposure in peripheral blood is relatively low (AUC0-8h=666.53 h*ng/ml, oral administration: 5 mg/kg), so XYF573c mainly acts on the up-regulated GPR84 in intestinal immune cells and inhibits the inflammatory response mediated by GPR84 to treat enteritis, and its distribution in peripheral blood shows that it can also work in part by inhibiting the migration of peripheral immune cells. The targeted intestinal distribution of such GPR84 antagonists suggests their suitability for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, but their poor oral absorption limits their application in the treatment of diseases such as organ fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, arthritis and the like.


The oral absorption of compounds is closely related to the lipid-water partition coefficients (e.g., CLogP, ALogP), and the CLogP of compounds with better drug-like properties needs to be less than 5 (Lipinski's Rule-of-Five), while the CLogP of XYF573c is 6.419, which is still a large space for optimization. In the phosphodiester structure of the original GPR84 antagonist, both ester groups are strongly lipophilic tricyclic structures, and this symmetric structural feature not only limits the expansion of the chemical space of the compounds. but also greatly hampers the optimization of the drug-like properties of the compounds (e.g., CLogP, ALogP, etc.).

Synthesis of intermediate G1M. The starting material G1 (200 mg, 0.78 mmol), and 4,5-dicyanoimidazole (184 mg, 1.56 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous dichloromethane, and bis (diisopropylamino) (2-cyanoethoxy) phosphine (0.495 ml, 1.56 mmol) was added dropwise under argon protection at 20° C., and reacted at 20° C. for 5 h. Then pH was adjusted to 7 with saturated NaHCO3. The mixture was concentrated and extracted with dichloromethane. After the aqueous phase was back-extracted three times, the mixture was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and subjected to silica gel column chromatography (PE:AcOEt=15:1-10:1) to obtain intermediate G1M (280 mg, 78%, colorless liquid).

Synthesis of Compound LSX448. The intermediate G1M was dissolved in anhydrous dichloromethane, tetrazole (43 mg, 0.63 mmol) and G2 (0.097 ml, 0.63 mmol) were added and reacted for 4 h. Then tert-butyl hydroperoxide (70% in water) (0.094 ml, 0.63 mmol) was added and reacted for 1 h. The mixture was neutralized with saturated sodium sulfite solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. After the aqueous phase was back-extracted three times, the mixture was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and subjected to silica gel column chromatography (PE:AcOEt=10:1-2:1) to get the intermediate G1N. G1N was redissolved in anhydrous dichloromethane, and 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene (0.094 ml, 0.63 mmol) was added and reacted for 30 mins. The mixture was adjusted to pH 7 with 1 mol/L HCl, and extracted with ethyl acetate. After the aqueous phase was back-extracted three times, the mixture was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated, and subjected to silica gel column chromatography (DCM:MeOH=15:1-10:1), and dried by rotary evaporation to obtain the target compound LSX448 (35 mg, 10%, white solid). 1H NMR (d6-DMSO, 400 MHZ): δ 7.46 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 7.31-7.20 (m, 6H), 7.08 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 3.87 (m, 2H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 1.45 (m, 2H), 1.24-1.14 (m, 10H), 0.78 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H).

EXAMPLE 6
(1) Purpose of the Experiment

GPR84 antagonistic activity of the compounds of the invention was determined.


(2) Material Source

The human GPR84 cell line was obtained by transfecting a HEK293 cell line with a plasmid encoding GPR84 and Gα16 proteins. Fluorescent dye Fluo-4AM was purchased from Invitrogen.


(3) Test Principle

Intracellular Ca2+ ion is a very important second messenger of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. When combined with Gα16 protein-coupled GPR84 and agonist, intracellular Ca2+ ion concentration can be significantly increased. Fluo-4 is a Ca2+ ion-specific fluorescent probe that binds quantitatively to Ca2+ ions and emits fluorescence. Therefore, the agonistic or antagonistic activity of the compound can be detected in a 96-well or 384-well flat-bottomed microplate using a fluorescence assay.


Detection of receptor inhibitory effect by GPR84 antagonist: After incubated with fluorescent dye Fluo-4, GPR84 cells were incubated with different concentrations of antagonistic compounds for a period of time to occupy the binding site of agonist to GPR84 (antagonistic binding site). A certain concentration of agonist (6-n-octylaminouracil, 6-OAU) was added to compete with the antagonist compound for binding sites. A light source with a wavelength of 485 nm was used for excitation and changes in the fluorescence intensity of the dye caused by changes in intracellular calcium concentration at 525 nm was detected. The half-inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the compound was calculated by using GraphPad PRISM software.


(4) Experimental Process

Preparation of HBSS: 0.4 g/L KCl (5.4 mM), 0.12 g/L Na2HPO4.12H2O (0.3 mM), 0.06 g/L KH2PO4 (0.4 mM), 0.35 g/L NaHCO3 (4.2 mM), 0.14 g/L CaCl2 (1.3 mM), 0.10 g/L MgCl2.6H2O (0.5 mM), 0.05 g/L MgSO4 (0.6 mM), 8.0 g/L NaCl (137 mM). The above ingredients were weighed and dissolved in ultrapure water. pH was adjusted to 7.4 by using hydrochloric acid or NaOH solution. The mixture was filtered and stored at 4° C. for one month.


Preparation of calcium buffer: 560 mM D-glucose (100×) aqueous stock solution and 250 mM 1,2-diphenyl-4-(2-phenylsulfinyl) ethyl-3,5-pyrazolidinedione (1000×) stock solution were firstly prepared. Then BSA (0.5 g), 560 mM D-glucose stock solution (1 mL) and 250 mM 1,2-diphenyl-4-(2-phenylsulfinyl)ethyl-3,5-pyrazolidinedione stock solution (100 μL) were added to 100 mL HBSS to a final concentration of 0.5% BSA, 5.6 mM D-glucose, 250 μM 1,2-diphenyl-4-(2-phenylsulfinyl) ethyl-3,5-pyrazolidinedione and mixed. The buffer was prepared on site.


Preparation of dye: 2 mM Fluo-4 AM (1000×, purchased from Invitrogen) in DMSO (1 μL) and 3% Cremophor EL (100×, purchased from SigmaAldrich) in PBS (10 μL) were mixed, and then 1 mL of calcium buffer was added and mixed well.


The cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at a density of 4×104 cells/well. After 24 hours of culture, the culture medium was removed, and 40 μL of Fluo-4AM fluorescent staining solution was added to each well and incubated in a 37° C. incubator for 40 minutes. After the dye was aspirated and discarded, 50 μL of the tested compound was added and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. 25 μL of 6-OAU (the effective concentration after dilution is around the EC80 of the agonist) was added to stimulate on the Flex Station III microplate reader, and real-time change value of Fluo-4AM dye fluorescence intensity caused by the change of intracellular calcium ion flow (excitation wavelength 485 nm, detection wavelength 525 nm).

b CLogP was calculated by ChemBioDraw software (Ultra 12.0) of CambridgeSoft Company, USA. The structures used in the calculations were all the free acid forms of the compounds.




c ALogP was calculated by Maestro software (version 11.2) of Schrödinger Company, USA. All compounds were calculated based on the ionization state at pH = 7. And the data of ALogP and CLogP of compound LSX431 were quite different due to the protonation of nitrogen atom of phosphoramide.







(6) Analysis of Results

The results in Table 1 show that the IC50 values of the compounds of the present invention are all less than 10 μM, the IC50 values of some compounds are 0.1-1 μM, and the IC50 values of some compounds are even less than 100 nM, indicating that the compounds of the present invention can be used as GPR84 antagonists. In addition, compared with the existing compound XYF573c (IC50=26.2 nM, CLogP=6.419, ALogP=6.80), 30 compounds have a CLogP between 5 and 6, 37 compounds have a CLogP less than 5, 47 compounds hava an ALogP between 5 and 6, and 26 compounds have an ALogP less than 5, which are significantly lower than the CLogP and ALogP of XYF573c.


EXAMPLE 7
(1) Purpose of the Experiment

The tissue distribution experiment of compounds XYF573c and LSX472a of the present invention in ICR mice was carried out, and their distribution in plasma and organs and oral exposure (AUC0-8h) were compared.


(2) Source of Material

ICR mice were purchased from Shanghai Experimental Animal Research Center.


(3) Test Principle

The concentrations of the compounds in plasma and various organs of ICR mice were detected by LC-MS.


(4) Experimental Process

During the experiment, the mice were fasted for more than 12 hours, had free access to water, and provided with food 2 hours after administration.


Both compounds XYF573c and LSX472a were administered orally, the dose was 5 mg/kg, and the solvent was DMSO/0.5% HPMC (5/95, v/v), N=3.


At 0.5 h, 2 h and 8 h after oral administration, about 20 μL of mouse heart blood, portal vein plasma or 20 mg of liver, lung, and ileum tissues were taken in clean centrifuge tubes, 200 μL of MeOH/ACN (50/50, v/v) was added and spun in a vortex mixer for 1 min. The mixtures were centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 5 min and 20 μL of supernatants were mixed with 20 μL of ACN/water (1/1, v/v) and quantified by LC-MS.


The values of AUC0-8h were calculated by trapezoidal method based on the concentrations of the compound at 0.5 h, 2 h and 8 h.


(5) Experimental Results

A reduction in cLogP is essential to improve the oral absorption of the compound. The cLogP of the compound LSX472a of the present invention is 5.51, which is 0.9 lower than that of XYF573c. This change is also demonstrated by a 13-fold increase in oral exposure (Plasma AUC0-8h) of LSX472a compared to XYF573c (FIG. 1 and Table 1). Moreover, exposure of LSX472a in the intestinal tract (such as Ileum) was significantly increased compared to XYF573c.
