Description
FIELD

The subject matter herein generally relates to a technical field of chiral compound synthesis, and particularly to chiral or racemic pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives, preparation method, and application thereof.


BACKGROUND

A benzodiazepine skeleton is an important structural unit in drug molecules, and its derivatives usually have a wide range of pharmacological activities. With the benzodiazepine skeleton as the key parent nucleus, a series of promising small molecules have been developed for different pathological features. As a structural analog, pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives have received widespread attention from synthetic chemists due to their potential pharmacological activities, and the study on the preparation method of the pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives occupies an extremely important position in the research and development of new drugs. In 1969, Santilli's research group prepared the pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives for the first time, and the preliminary activity screening experiments showed that they have a certain degree of sedative activity and also exhibit antispasmodic effects [Kim, D. H.; Santilli, A. A. J. Med. Chem.1969, 12, 1121-1122.] Subsequently, scientific researchers synthesized a variety of pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives with different structures, and found that they have different biological activities. For example, the compounds provided by Seto's research group in 2005 have a strong inhibitory effect on the neurokinin receptor NK1 (KB=0.480 nM), which could increase an effective bladder capacity of guinea pigs, and show good potential for the treatment of urinary incontinence [Seto, S.; Tanioka, A.; Ikeda, Ni; Izawa, S. Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2005, 13, 5717-5732.]. In 2008, Schulz's research group reported that a kind of pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives can effectively inhibit kinase PDK1, and some of these compounds have particularly outstanding inhibitory effects on kinase PDK1, with the IC50 value reaching a picomolar level [Schulz, M.; Burgdorf, L. T. ; Finsinger, D.; Blaukat, A.; Greiner, H.; Esdar, C.; Kreysch, FL-G.; Henzler, T. PCT Int. Appl. 2008. US 20080318934 A1, 20081225.]. In 2012, Ding's research group designed and synthesized a series of pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives, and found that these derivatives have good in vitro inhibitory effects on EGFR protein and its clinically relevant mutants, with the inhibitory activity of some of these derivatives on EGFRL858R/T790M reaching a nanomolar level (IC50=14 nM); at the same time, this type of derivatives can also inhibit the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer cells H1975 and HCC827 [Xu, S.; Zhang, L., Chang, S.; Luo, J; Lu, X.; Tu, Z.; Liu, Y.; Zhang, Z.; Xu, Y; Rena, X.; Ding, K. Med. Chem. Commun. 2012,3, 1155-1159]. The pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives designed and synthesized by Cuevas-Cordobes and Almansa-Rosales in 2017 have a strong affinity to the substructure α2δ of the voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC), especially have strong inhibitory effects on α2δ−1; in addition, this type of derivatives can also effectively inhibit phenylephrine transporters (NET); dual inhibitory effects make this type of derivatives have good application prospects in the treatment of brain injury and related diseases [Cuevas-Cordobes. F.; Almansa-Rosales, C. PCT Int. Appl. 2017, WO 2017191304 A1, 20171109.].


Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a stubborn disease faced by modern medicine, and there is still a lack of effective treatments and drugs. MDD induces nervous system dysfunction, disrupts the functions and structural connections of neural circuits for regulating emotions. Glucocorticoids (GCs) and their receptors (GR) are important signaling molecules for emotion regulating response. Chronic stress and HPA dysregulation promote neuroinflammation, which leads to an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as NF-κB. The inflammation and UPA axis dysfunction induced by MDD would further induce neural synaptic plasticity. The process of neuroplasticity is controlled by regulatory proteins, and cofilin-1 is one of the key regulators, therefore, GR, NT-κB, and cofilin-1 are considered as key targets for the treatment of MDD.


In summary, the pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives, which have structural similarities with benzodiazepines, possess broad biological activities, and have potential research value. Although some progress has been made in their synthesis, the asymmetric catalytic method for constructing such derivatives has not yet been reported. Therefore, the development of effective asymmetric synthesis methods is of great significance for enriching the structures of such derivatives and for drug development.

Embodiment 5: Evaluation of Antidepressant Activity of Pyrimidine-Fused Diazepinone Derivatives
(1) Cell Culture and Establishment of Depression Model

PC12 cells are purchased from Procell Life Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China). All cell culture reagents are purchased from Life Technologies (Grand Island, Nebraska, USA). Cells are cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Gibco, USA) including 10% fetal calf serum (Gibco, USA) at 37° C. in an incubator including 5% CO2.


Corticosterone (CORT)-induced PC12 cells are usually used to establish the depression model in vitro. The PC12 cells are treated with 600 μM corticosterone for 24 hours, at such corticosterone concentration, cell viability is reduced to 60% and can be used for subsequent vitro experiments.


(2) Cell Viability Measurement

Cell viability is measured by using MTT [3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide]. Detailed steps include: inoculating 1×105 cells into each well of a 96-well plate, after culturing for 24 hours for stabilization, adding 600 μM corticosterone, treating the cells for 24 hours, then removing culture medium including the corticosterone, and adding culture medium including drugs (e.g., compounds of the present disclosure/fluoxetine) at different concentrations for treating the cells for 12, 24, and 48 hours respectively, then adding MTT and incubating the cells at 37° C. for 4 hours, and measuring an absorbance of the cells in a microplate reader (BIO-RAD, USA) at 570 nm, the results are shown in FIG. 2 and Table 3. Table 3 shows the cell viability results of 24 h culture when a drug concentration is 0.625 uM.


(3) Western Blotting

PC12 cells are lysed in RIPA lysis solution including 1% phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) on ice for 30 minutes, the supernatant solution is collected and centrifuged, and the protein concentration of the supernatant solution is measured by a BCA assay kit (Beyotime, Shanghai). Protein samples are loaded onto 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and then further transferred to PVDF membrane (Millipore, MA, USA). The PVDF membrane is blocked with 5% non-fat milk and then incubated with a single primary antibody at 4° C. overnight. After washing with Tris-buffered saline containing Tween-20 (0.1%) (TBST), the PVDF membrane is incubated with secondary antibodies at room temperature. The PVDF membrane is analyzed by ECL reagents (Beyotime, Shanghai) and a BIO-RAD ChemiDoc XRS system. Protein band intensity is performed by Image J software (The National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). The results are shown in FIG. 3.


(4) Hoechst and PI Staining

PC12 cell apoptosis is detected by Hoechst and PI staining. Hoechst can bind to cell nucleus of living cells, while PI (propidium iodide) can bind to the nucleuses of dead cells. The PC12 cells are plated in 12-well plates, and after being treated with drugs for 48 hours, the PC12 cells are stained with the nuclear dye Hoechst. The PC12 cells are washed twice with PBS and continued to be incubated with 10 mg/L Hoechst in the incubator for 20 min, For PI staining, the PC12 cells are incubated with a working solution including PI (final concentration 1 μg/mL) at room temperature for 10 min at 4° C. The PC12 cells are observed and photographed by a fluorescence microscope (Zeiss, Germany), and the results are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Blue fluorescence (white background) represents living cells, and red fluorescence (black background) represents dead cells.

Note: a uses a concentration of 0.625 uM, and the value is an average value of three independent experiments; b is corticosterone; c is a positive control drug.


Cell survival rates at different drug concentrations (e.g., 20 uM, 10 uM, 5 uM, 2.5 uM, 1.25 uM and 0.625 uM) are measured by a MIT method at different times (12 h, 24 h and 48 h) according to the present disclosure, and the measurement results are shown in FIG. 2. Normal cells are taken as a blank control (control), corticosterone treated group (CORT) is taken as a control group, and DMSO+control are taken as solvent control group. A in FIG. 2 shows the results of drug effects at different concentrations after 12 hours of culture; B in FIG. 2 shows the results of drug effects at different culture times when the drug concentration is 0.625 uM. It can be seen from the figure that, corticosterone reduces the survival rate of PC12 cells to about 60%, and adding the compound (S)-I11 of the present disclosure and the positive drug fluoxetine can effectively reduce the death rate of cells caused by CORT, and the effect of the compound of the present disclosure is more significant than that of the positive drug fluoxetine, making the cells tend to normal cells. In addition, it can be seen from B of FIG. 2 that, the positive drug fluoxetine takes 48 hours to exert its effect, while the compound (S)-I-11 of the present disclosure shows excellent effect in 12 hours (as shown in A and B of FIG. 2).


The results of Hoechst and PI methods show that, the corticosterone causes PC12 cell death, which is manifested by a decrease in blue fluorescence number and an increase in red fluorescence number, while the compound (S)-I-11 has a similar effect to fluoxetine and can reduce cell death, which is manifested by an increase in blue fluorescence number and a decrease in red fluorescence number (as shown in C and D of FIG. 2, the concentration used is 1.0 uM).


The pathogenesis of MDD is related to HPA axis hyperactivity, synaptic remodeling, and inflammation. GR, cofilin-1, and NF-κB play key roles in the pathogenesis of MDD. The results show that, compounds (S)-I-17 and (R)-I-9 in the embodiments exhibit the same effects as fluoxetine, and can promote the expression of GR during depression and inhibit the overexpression of cofilin- and NF-κB proteins (as shown in A and B of FIG. 3); and compounds (S)-I-17 and (R)-I-9 can reverse the massive apoptosis of the PC12 cells caused by corticosterone (as shown in C and D of FIG. 3). These results further prove that compounds (S)-I-17 and (R)I-9 have good antidepressant activity in vitro.


In addition, it can be seen from FIG. 4 that, compound (S)-I-10 yields a higher number of blue fluorescence than (R)-I-9 and a lower number of red fluorescence than (R)-I-9 (as shown in A in FIG. 4); and compared with (R)-I-9, (S)-I-9 can better increase the survival rate of the PC12 cells (as shown in B of FIG. 4). (S)-I-14 and (5)-I-1 can increase the survival rate better than their corresponding racemates (as shown in C and D of FIG. 4). These results indicate that, the pyrimidine-fused diazepin.one compounds with the (S)-configuration may have better antidepressant effects than the (R)-configuration compounds and their corresponding racemates.


Combined with Table 3 and the accompanying drawings, it is shown that the pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives of the present disclosure have good antidepressant effects, and even the antidepressant activity of some compounds is better than that of the positive control drug fluoxetine; Moreover, the antidepressant activity of the compounds introduced into the vinyl moiety in the present disclosure is significantly better than that of the compounds without the vinyl moiety.


Embodiment 6: Experiment on Mouse Depression Model of the Pyrimidine-Fused Diazepinone Derivatives

A chronic depression model is induced in mice by intraperitoneal injection of reserpine 0.4 mg/kg for 14 days. A tail suspension test (TST), a forced swimming test (FST), a sucrose preference test (SWP), and an open field test (OFT) are used as criteria to evaluate degree of depression. After the chronic depression model is established, fluoxetine is used as a positive control drug, and the compound of the present disclosure is used for treatment for 14 days, to determine the antidepressant effect of the compound of the present disclosure; a single dose is used to determine the onset time of the compound.


Experimental Steps

Tail suspension test (TST): fix approximately 1 cm from an end of a tail of a mouse with tape and hang it. Use a camera to record the mouse's activities within 6 minutes, and statistically analyze the mouse's immobility time within last 4 minutes.


Forced swimming test (FST) place the mouse alone in a glass jar (height 20 cm, diameter 14 cm) with a water depth of 15 cm, water temperature (25±1)° C., let the mouse swim for 6 minutes, and observe and record the immobility time of the mouse in the water within last 4 minutes.


Sucrose preference test (SWP): Rodents are born with a strong preference for sweets. When the mouse is provided with two drinking devices with free choices of sucrose solution and ordinary water, the 24-hour sugar water consumption is calculated. Sucrose preference ratio (%)=sugar water consumption/(sugar water consumption+pure water consumption)×100%.


Open Field Experiment (OFT): the experiment is carried out in a quiet environment. The mouse is placed in a center of a bottom of a 40×40 cm box, and a video behavior analysis system is used to observe and record the activities of the mouse in the open field test box for 15 minutes.



FIG. 5 illustrates the experimental results of the derivatives of the present disclosure on reserpine-induced depression model mice. A is the mouse tail suspension test; B is the mouse forced swimming test; C is the mouse sucrose preference test; D is the mouse open field test; F is the single dose mouse tail suspension test; F is single dose forced swimming experiment


Normal mice without MDD are used as a blank control (control), and mice with MDD without medication are used as a control group (expressed as “-” in A of FIG. 5 to D of FIG. 5; expressed as “depression” in E of FIG. 5 and F of FIG. 5).


The results indicate that: compared with the diseased control group, pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives of the present disclosure can significantly reduce the immobility time of TST (as shown in A of FIG. 5) and the immobility time of EST (as shown B in FIG. 5) of the mice with MDD, can restore the mice's preference for sucrose (as shown C in FIG. 5), and can increase a moving distance of the mice in the central zone (as shown. D in FIG. 5), thus making them tend to normal mice, which is consistent with the influence trend of the positive drug fluoxetine, and the effect is more significant than the positive drug fluoxetine, which indicates that the compounds of the present disclosure has a better antidepressant effect than the positive drug fluoxetine.


Further, it can be seen from E of FIG. 5 and F of FIG. 5 that, the pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives of the present disclosure can produce obvious antidepressant effects 24 hours after administration, which makes the depressed mice behave line normal mice (as shown in FIG. 5), and it is significantly better than the onset time of fluoxetine; and the effect lasts for 144 hours (as shown in F in FIG. 5), thereby indicating that the antidepressant effect of the compounds of the present disclosure is rapid and lasting.


Based on the above results, it s indicated that the pyrimidine-fused diazepinone derivatives of the present disclosure have excellent, rapid-acting antidepressant effects and long-lasting effects.
