Provided are specifically a compound of formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims the benefit and priority to the Chinese Patent No. 201810772374.3 filed with the National Intellectual Property Administration, PRC on Jul. 13, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to a tricyclic compound as a PDE3/PDE4 dual inhibitor, a preparation method thereof, a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound, and use thereof in treating a disease related to PDE3/PDE4, in particular chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).


BACKGROUND

Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are a superfamily of enzyme systems and comprise 11 families, each of which is involved in different signaling and regulates different physiological processes. Among them, PDE3 is a major phosphodiesterase in human airway smooth muscle (ASM), and inhibition of PDE3 increases intracellular cAMP concentration and thus slackening bronchial smooth muscle. PDE4 plays a major regulatory role in the expression of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators, and a PDE4 inhibitor can inhibit the release of harmful mediators from inflammatory cells. Thus, in theory, an inhibitor that inhibits both PDE3 and PDE4 would have both the bronchodilation of a beta-adrenoreceptor agonist and the anti-inflammatory action of an inhaled glucocorticoid. The complementation of dual targeting functions is theoretically more effective than single targeting, and the treatment effect which can be achieved only by combined medication at present is achieved by a single medicament, thus the defect that the physicochemical properties of the ingredients of medicaments used in the combined medication cannot be completely matched is eliminated, the administration mode is simplified, and convenient determination of administration dosage is realized.


It has been reported by Victoria Boswell et al., J. Pharmaco. Experi. Therap. 2006, 318, 840-848 and WO200005830 that compounds RPL554 and RPL565 have long-acting bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory action and physicochemical properties like poor solubility and high plasma clearance, and they are suitable for inhalation administration. However, data also show that their inhibitory activity against PDE4 is unsatisfactory, and the anti-inflammatory effect is not ideal, either. Therefore, there is a need to develop a compound having good inhibitory activity against PDE3/4.

Definitions and Description

Unless otherwise stated, the following terms and phrases used herein are intended to have the following meanings. A particular term or phrase, unless otherwise specifically defined, should not be considered as uncertain or unclear, but construed according to its common meaning. When referring to a trade name, it is intended to refer to its corresponding commercial product or its active ingredient.


The valence of each atom is normal in the compound formed by connecting each group, and the formed compound can exist stably.


The listed linking groups in the present application have the direction for linking. For example, in




embedded image


when the linking group L is —N(R6)C(O)—, the —N(R6)C(O)— links two ends in a direction same as left-to-right reading order to form




embedded image


and when L is —C(O)N(R6)—, the —C(O)N(R6)— links two ends in a direction same as left-to-right reading order to form




embedded image


A combination of the linking group, a substituent and/or a variant thereof is permissible only if the combination can result in a stable compound.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” is used herein for those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problems or complications, and commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.


A pharmaceutically acceptable salt, for example, may be a metal salt, an ammonium salt, a salt formed with an organic base, a salt formed with an inorganic acid, a salt formed with an organic acid, a salt formed with a basic or acidic amino acid, and the like.


The pharmaceutically acceptable salts disclosed herein can be synthesized from a parent compound having an acidic or basic group by conventional chemical methods. In general, such salts are prepared by the following method: the free acid or base form of the compound reacting with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base or acid in water or an organic solvent or a mixture thereof.


The compounds disclosed herein can be in the form of a geometric isomer or stereoisomer. All such compounds are contemplated herein, including cis-isomers and trans-isomers, (−)- and (+)-enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, and racemic mixtures and other mixtures thereof, such as an enantiomer or diastereomer enriched mixture, all of which are included within the scope of the present application. Substituents such as alkyl may have an additional asymmetric carbon atom. All these isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present application.


The compounds and intermediates disclosed herein may also exist in different tautomeric forms, and all such forms are included within the scope of the present application. The term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to structural isomers of different energies that can interconvert via a low energy barrier. For example, a proton tautomer (also referred to as prototropic tautomer) includes interconversion via proton transfer, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. A specific example of the proton tautomer is an imidazole moiety where a proton can transfer between two ring nitrogens. A valence tautomer includes the interconversion via recombination of some bonding electrons.


The compound disclosed herein can be asymmetrical, for example, has one or more stereoisomers. Unless otherwise stated, all stereoisomers are included, for example, enantiomers and diastereoisomers. The compound with asymmetric carbon atoms disclosed herein can be separated in an optically pure form or in a racemic form. The optically pure form can be separated from a racemic mixture or can be synthesized using a chiral raw material or a chiral reagent.


Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers and D and L isomers can be prepared by chiral synthesis or chiral reagents or other conventional techniques. An enantiomer of certain compound disclosed herein can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization using a chiral auxiliary, wherein the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group is cleaved so as to provide the desired pure enantiomer. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as amino) or an acidic functional group (such as carboxyl), the compound reacts with an appropriate optically active acid or base to form a salt of the diastereoisomer, which is then subjected to diastereomeric resolution through conventional methods in the art to get the pure enantiomer. Furthermore, the enantiomer and the diastereomer are generally isolated through chromatography using a chiral stationary phase, optionally in combination with chemical derivatization (e.g., carbamate formation from amines).


The present application also comprises isotopically-labeled compounds which are identical to those recited herein but one or more atoms thereof are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds disclosed herein include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, iodine, and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 13N, 15N, 15O, 17O, 18O, 31P, 32P, 35S, 18F, 123I , 125I and 36Cl.


The compound disclosed herein may contain an unnatural proportion of atomic isotope at one or more of the atoms that constitute the compound. For example, the compound may be labeled with a radioisotope, such as tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I), or C-14 (14C). For another example, hydrogen can be substituted by deuterium to form a deuterated drug, and the bond formed by deuterium and carbon is firmer than that formed by common hydrogen and carbon. Compared with an un-deuterated drug, the deuterated drug has the advantages of reduced toxic side effect, increased stability, enhanced efficacy, prolonged biological half-life and the like. All isotopic variations of the compound described herein, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present application.


Furthermore, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., 2H) may provide certain therapeutic advantages (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirement) resulting from greater metabolic stability and hence may be preferred in some circumstances in which deuterium substitution may be partial or complete, wherein partial deuterium substitution refers to substitution of at least one hydrogen with at least one deuterium. “Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may, but not necessarily, occur, and the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. The term “substituted” means that one or more hydrogen atoms on a specific atom are substituted by substituents which may include deuterium and hydrogen variants, as long as the valence of the specific atom is normal and the compound after substitution is stable. When the substituent is oxygen (i.e., ═O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are substituted. Substitution by oxygen does not occur on aromatic groups.


The term “optionally substituted” means that an atom can be or cannot be substituted by a substituent. Unless otherwise specified, the type and number of the substituent may be arbitrary as long as being chemically achievable.


When any variable (e.g., R) occurs more than once in the constitution or structure of a compound, the definition of the variable in each case is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted by 0-2 R, the group can be optionally substituted by two R at most, and the definition of R in each case is independent. Furthermore, a combination of a substituent and/or a variant thereof is permissible only if the combination can result in a stable compound.


When a variable is a single bond, it means that the two groups are directly linked. For example, in A-L-Z, when L represents a single bond, it means that the structure is actually A-Z.


When a bond of a substituent is cross-linked to two atoms on a ring, the substituent can be bonded to any atom on the ring. For example, structural unit

represents that substitution may occur at any position of cyclohexyl or cyclohexadienyl.


The term “halo-” or “halogen” refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine.


The term “hydroxy” refers to —OH group.


The term “cyano” refers to —CN group.


The term “amino” refers to —NH2 group.


When a substituent is absent, it means that the substituent does not exist. For example, when X is absent in A-X, the structure of A-X is actually A. When it is not specified by which atom the listed substituent is linked to the group to be substituted, the substituent can be linked via any atom of the group. For example, pyridinyl as a substituent can be linked to the group to be substituted through any carbon atom on the pyridine ring.


The term “alkyl” refers to hydrocarbyl with a general formula of CnH2n+1. The alkyl can be linear or branched. For example, the term “C1-6 alkyl” refers to alkyl with 1-6 carbon atoms (for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, 1-methylbutyl, 2-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, neopentyl, hexyl, 2-methylpentyl, etc.).

The term “heterocyclyl” refers to a fully saturated or partially unsaturated (but not fully unsaturated heteroaromatic group) nonaromatic ring which may exist in the form of a monocyclic, bridged cyclic or spiro structure. Unless otherwise specified, the heterocyclyl is usually a 3-7 membered ring containing 1-3 heteroatoms (preferably 1 or 2 heteroatoms) independently selected from the group consisting of sulfur, oxygen and/or nitrogen. Non-limiting examples of heterocyclyl include, but are not limited to, oxiranyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, dihydrofuranyl, pyrrolidinyl, N-methylpyrrolidinyl, dihydropyrrolyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, pyrazolidinyl, 4H-pyranyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, tetrahydrothienyl, dihydropyridazinyl, dihydropyrimidinyl, dihydropyridinyl, dihydroimidazolyl, dihydroisoxazolyl, dihydrotriazolyl, and dihydropyridazinyl.

Experimental Example 1: In Vitro Detection of the Inhibitory Activity of Compounds Against PDE 3A Enzyme

Experimental objective: to determine the AMP/GMP expression based on fluorescence polarization, i.e., to trace binding of AMP/GMP to antibody so as to indicate enzyme activity.


Reagents:

Experimental buffer solution: 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 5 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Brij 35, 1 mM Dithiothreitol (DTT), and 1% DMSO.


Enzyme: recombinant human PDE3A (Gene accession number: NM_000921; amino acid 669-end) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag, with molecularweight being 84 kDa.


Enzyme substrate: 1 μM cAMP


Detection: Transcreener® AMP2/GMP2 antibody and AMP2/GMP2 AlexaFluor633 tracer.


Procedure:





    • 1. The recombinant human PDE3A enzyme and enzyme substrate (1 μM cAMP) were each dissolved in newly-prepared experimental buffer solution;

    • 2. The PDE3A enzyme buffer solution was transferred into reaction wells;

    • 3. The compound which was dissolved in 100% DMSO was added to the reaction wells containing PDE3A enzyme buffer solution by acoustic technique (echo 550; millilambda range) and the mixture was incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature;

    • 4. The enzyme substrate buffer solution was added to the above reaction wells to initiate reaction;

    • 5. The resulting mixture was incubated at room temperature for 1 hour;

    • 6. The detection mixture (Transcreener® AMP2/GMP2 antibody and AMP2/GMP2 AlexaFluor633 tracer) was added to stop the reaction, and the resulting mixture was incubated for 90 minutes while slowly mixing. The measurement range of fluorescence polarization was Ex/Em=620/688.





Data analysis: the fluorescence polarization signal was converted to nM based on AMP/GMP standard curve and the percentage enzyme activity relative to DMSO control calculated by Excel. GraphPad Prism was used for curve fitting (drawing medical icon). The experimental results are shown in Table 1.


Experimental Example 2: In Vitro Detection of the Inhibitory Activity of Compounds Against PDE 4B Enzyme
