The present invention relates to the field of medicine, and particularly to a novel 5-hydroxyl-1,7-naphthyridine compound substituted by aryl or heteroaryl, a preparation method thereof and a pharmaceutical use thereof.
Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) is a section of transcriptional activator containing basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) and PAS (Per/Arnt/Sim) that responds to the hypoxia conditions by mediating a series of gene regulation in biological cells. (Chowdhury, R., Hardy, A, Schofield, C. J., The human oxygen sensing machinery and its manipulation, Chem. Soc. Rev., 2008, 37, 1308-1319; Kaelin, W. G., Jr., Ratcliffe, P. J., Oxygen sensing by metazoans: the central role of the HIF hydroxylase pathway, Mol. Cell, 2008, 30, 393-402; Schofield, C. J., Ratcliffe, P. J., Oxygen sensing by HIF hydroxylases, Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol., 2004, 5, 343-354).
In 1992, during the study of erythropoientin (EPO, an erythropoiesis-stimulating hormone), Wang et al. found the transcriptional activator that stimulates the generation of EPO in hypoxic cells, and thus named it Hypoxia Inducible Factor, abbreviated as HIF. HIF is essential for cellular adaptation and survival to hypoxia, and the experiments show that under the effect of HIF, cells can still survive even if the oxygen content in the cells is reduced to 1% from normal 20%.
HIF consists of two subunits, HIF-α and HIF-β. HIF-α contains an oxygen-dependent degradation domain (abbreviated as ODDD), which is a key element unit in response to cellular oxygen content. HIF-α can form a stable dimer with HIF-β. After this dimer enters the nucleus, it activates the expression of important enzymes or enzyme systems such as glucose metabolism-related enzymes, GLUT-1, erythropoietin and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and thus resists the cell hypoxia conditions. HIF-β is a type of aryl hydrocarbon nuclear translator (abbreviated as ARNT), which forms a heterodimer with HIF-α to activate transcription of downstream genes.
To date, three HIF-α subtypes have been discovered, HIF-1α, HIF-2α, and HIF-3α, respectively. HIF-1α, first discovered by Wang in 1995, is widely expressed in human and mouse bodies. HIF-2α was isolated and identified in 1997, which has a protein sequence with 48% similarity to that of HIF-1α and therefore has the similar functions to HIF-1α, however, HIF-2α is only expressed in lung, endothelium and carotid artery. HIF-3α is a newly discovered HIF-α subtype, and little research has been done on it yet.
Studies have shown that the expression of HIF-α in cells is not affected by oxygen content, but HIF-α cannot stably exist in the cells having normal oxygen content, and has a half-life of only 5 minutes. HIF-α can only be stable under hypoxic conditions and thus play the normal function of activation of downstream transcription factors. In the cells having normal oxygen content, the prolyl at positions 402,564 in the ODDD region of HIF-α was oxidized by prolyl hydroxylase to form 4-hydroxyprolyl, so that HIF-α cannot be dimmed with HIF-β, but soon binds to pVHL protein and then be degraded, and therefore cannot play an anti-hypoxia function. Prolyl hydroxylase (also abbreviated as PHD or EGLN), which plays a key role in the degradation of HIF-α, is a 2-oxoglutatone (2-OG)-dependent oxygenase. With 2-OG and divalent iron ions as prosthetic groups, PHD transfers an oxygen atom to the 4-position of the prolyl molecule to form a hydroxyprolyl, and meanwhile converts 2-OG into one carbon dioxide molecule and succinic acid. Both 2-OG analogs and divalent nickel, cobalt and manganese ions can antagonize the oxidation of prolyl in HIF-α by PHD, and inhibit the degradation of HIF-α, so that HIF-α can successfully be dimmed with HIF-β, and thus stimulates the downstream transcription factors, and ultimately plays an anti-hypoxia function. Studies have found that PHD has three subtypes: PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3. Further studies suggest that inhibition on PHD1 can help to treat skeletal muscle cell degradation, can protect myofibroblasts under ischemic conditions, treat inflammatory enteritis and colitis, and treat heart failure and ischemia in patients with heart disease and kidney disease. However, no study has shown that the other two PHD subtypes have difference in functions.
One of the important roles of HIF is to activate the expression of erythropoietin (EPO) in living organisms. As a glycoprotein hormone, EPO can stimulate red blood cell proliferation, differentiation and maturation. EPO on the one hand can stimulate bone marrow hematopoietic function, timely and effectively increase the number of red blood cells, thereby enhancing the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. On the other hand, EPO can enhance the body's oxygen binding, transport and supply capacity, and improve hypoxia conditions. Under normal physiological conditions, EPO is mainly synthesized and secreted by the kidney, therefore, a patient with kidney failure will suffer from ischemia because EPO cannot be normally synthesized in the body. In the late 1980s, Amgen company first successfully achieved industrialization of EPO and gradually applied EPO to the patients with anemia caused by chronic kidney failure, AIDS, cancer and chemotherapy. However, with the huge development of EPO generation and application, exogenous EPO administration still faces several problems: 1, EPO is expensive, and is a great burden especially for the patients who need long-term use. 2, as a macromolecule glycoprotein, EPO also has the characteristics of low bioavailability, short half-life in the organism, easy to be hydrolyzed by the enzyme in the gastrointestinal tract, so EPO must be frequently administrated by injection, which limits the probability of patient's self-administration, and brings great inconvenience to the patients. 3, Industrially synthetic EPO still cannot avoid the immunogenicity and the product has certain medication risks.
Due to these problems in the use of exogenous macromolecule EPO, it will be very promising to replace exogenous EPO and bring the patients more choices by developing small molecule HIF prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors to inhibit the HIF-α degradation, thereby stimulating the generation of endogenous EPO in human body.
So far, two HIF prolyl hydroxylases, Akebia's AKB-6548 and Fibrogen's FG-4592, have been introduced into the clinical phase II study. (Refer to WO 2012170377A1, US2010331374A1, US2010305097A1, US2007299086A1, US2004254215A1, US2007298104A1, US2009082357A1, US2010113444A1, WO2013134660, WO2010059552A1).

The complete medium for culture of Experimental hepatoma cells Hep3B (China Center for Type Culture Collection, CCTCC) was MEM (Cat# GNM 41500, GIBCO, provided by Hangzhou Genom Biopharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd) supplemented with 10% serum FBS (Cat#10099-141, GIBCO) and 1% P/S (Cat#GNM15140, provided by Hangzhou Genom Biopharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd). Cells were cultured in a 37° C., 5% CO2 incubator. Experimental reagents included dimethyl sulfoxide (for molecular biology, >=99.9%, Catalog # D8418) purchased from Sigma. The ELISA kit was purchased from Quantikine IVD ELISA, Human Erythropoietin (R&D, DEP00). The test control AKB-6548 was prepared by the inventors or obtained by commercial purchase. The test substance was stored at −20° C. in the dark.
The test substance and the positive control substance were fully dissolved in sterile water or dimethylsulfoxide under dark conditions and prepared into a stock solution at a concentration of 10−1 mol/L or 10−2 mol/L. Each of the stock solutions was stored at −20° C. MEM medium containing 0.5% FBS was used as a diluent to dilute the stock solution of the test substance, to prepare a diluted test substance at a concentration of 100 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L. To a 96-well culture plate was added 200 μl/well (1.5 or 2.0×104 cells/well) of hepatoma cells Hep3B complete medium suspension and incubated overnight at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 incubator. The solution in the 96-well culture plate was removed and the cells were washed once with the MEM medium containing 0.5% FBS. 200 μl/well of the test substance was added in the dark, at a dose of 100 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L, and each dose set 2 wells, a test well and a spare well. A cell control well was prepared by replacing the test solution with the diluent (without test substance and solvent). A solvent control well was prepared by replacing the test solution with the diluent containing the corresponding concentration of solvent (dimethylsulfoxide) (without test substance). They were cultured in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37° C. for 24 hours. The supernatant was absorbed as a sample and cryopreserved at −20° C. for use. 100 μl/well of stop solution was added. OD value was detected by microplate reader A450 nm-A600 nm. The expression level of EPO (mIU/mL) promoted by the test substance was obtained according to the standard curve. The test results are shown in the following table:
The biological activity test results show that compared to the positive control FG-4592, the compounds of the present invention have a more significant promotion effect on intracellular EPO expression, and most of the intracellular EPO levels reach more than 1.5 times of that of the positive control FG-4592.
The interaction between hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1α and VBC complex (von Hippel-Lindau protein-Elongin B-Elongin C, VBC) was detected by Fluorescence polarization (FP) method, to measure the enzyme inhibitory activity of the HIF Prolyl hydroxylases 2 (PHD2) inhibitor compounds.
To a NETN (20 mM Tris.HCl, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% NP-40, 1 mM PMSF) buffer containing 200 μM ascorbic acid, 20 μM α-ketoglutaric acid, 100 μM FeCl2 was added FAM-HIF (556-575) at a final concentration of 1 μM in the dark. Subsequently, the desired concentration of the test compound or the positive compound was added (the compound was replaced by the buffer in the negative control and the positive control). Finally, PHD2 was added at a final concentration of 0.5 μg/μl (PHD2 was replaced by the buffer in the negative control). They were mixed well and allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes in the dark followed by 95° C. water bath for 1 minute, and then the reaction was terminated. After the temperature drops to room temperature, the sample was prepared well for use. EBC buffer (50 mM Tris.HCl, 120 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP-40) was added to the corresponding wells of a black 96-well test plate. A GST-VBC complex was added to the corresponding test wells at a final concentration of 300 nM (using the wells containing only EBC buffer as blank wells). Subsequently, the corresponding PHD2 prolyl hydroxylation reaction sample was added in the dark as a substrate with a final concentration of 100 nM. After mixing well, the lateral and longitudinal fluorescence intensity values were measured using a full-wavelength multifunctional microplate reader (TECAN infinite M1000) at an excitation wavelength of 407 nm and an emission wavelength of 518 nm.
The fluorescence polarization (mP) was calculated:
mP=1000×(lateral value−G factor×longitudinal value)/(lateral value+G factor×longitudinal value)
wherein, lateral value=lateral fluorescence intensity value of test well−lateral fluorescence intensity value of blank well,
longitudinal value=longitudinal fluorescence intensity value of test well−longitudinal fluorescence intensity value of blank well,
PHD2 inhibition rate (%) of the test compound was calculated according to the following formula:
Inhibition rate (%)=1−(mP test well−mP negative control well)/(mP positive control well−mP negative control well).
The IC50 was calculated using the non-linear regression data analysis method of Graphpad Prism 4.0 software (Golden software, Golden, Colo., USA). The results show that the compounds of the present invention have significant inhibitory effect on HIF prolyl hydroxylase.
80 male Balb/c mice were divided into 11 groups, with 8 animals for each drug group, 10 animals for blank control group. Drug group: AKB-6548, 100 mg/kg, oral administration, once a day×3; FG-4592, 25 mg/kg, oral administration, once a day×3; EPO, 100 IU/kg, Day 1 and Day 3, subcutaneous injection, as positive control groups. Each of the compounds of the present invention was orally administrated at 25 mg/kg, once a day×3. Four hours after the last administration, orbital blood of all animals were collected and treated with EDTA-K2 anticoagulant, and reticulocytes (RETIC) were counted with a blood cell automated analyzer. The results show that the counts of the control compounds and the compounds of the present invention are higher than those of the normal animals (p<0.01).
