Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a heterocyclic compound, an intermediate, and a preparation method and use thereof.


BACKGROUND

ATP receptors are classified into two main families, the P2Y-purinoreceptors and P2X-purinoreceptors, according to the molecular structure, transduction mechanism and pharmacological properties. The P2X-purinoreceptors are a family of ATP-gated cation channels, and several subtypes have been cloned, including six homomeric receptors (P2X1, P2X2, P2X3, P2X4, P2X5 and P2X7) and three heteromeric receptors (P2X2/3, P2X4/6 and P2X1/5). The P2X3 receptor has been found to be expressed particularly in the primary afferent nerve fibers of “hollow viscera”, such as the lower urinary tract and respiratory tract.


Cough is the main symptom of respiratory diseases, and is observed in 70-80% of patients in outpatients of the respiratory department. With increasing prevalence of COPD, IPF, etc., there's also an increasing demand for treatment of cough as it is the main manifestation of most respiratory tract diseases. Cough, as a defensive nervous reflex of the body, is beneficial to the removal of respiratory secretions and harmful factors. However, frequent and violent cough will seriously affect the work, life and social activities of patients.


Few P2X3 antagonists specifically targeting cough have been developed, and one project that advances rapidly at present is the Roche AF-219 project, which, in the newly completed phase II clinical trial, shows a relatively good efficacy for refractory cough but poses serious dysgeusia.


At present, no drug is available on the market that can treat various conditions including chronic cough via the P2X3-inhibiting route. Therefore, the development of new compounds capable of inhibiting the activity of P2X3 is of great significance for treating diseases.


SUMMARY

The present invention aims to solve the technical problem of the insufficiency of P2X3 antagonist in the prior art, and thus provides a heterocyclic compound, an intermediate, and a preparation method and use thereof. The heterocyclic compound disclosed herein has high antagonistic activity against P2X3, good selectivity, low toxicity, good metabolic stability and small influence on taste.


The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem by the following technical embodiments.


The present invention provides a heterocyclic compound of formula I, or a stereoisomer, a geometric isomer, a tautomer, a nitrogen oxide, a hydrate, a solvate, a metabolite, an ester, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a prodrug thereof,

Dosage ranges suitable for human individuals may be determined, for example, using data obtained from animal studies and cell culture assays. In certain embodiments, the compound disclosed herein may be prepared as medicaments for oral administration.


An effective or therapeutically effective amount or dosage of a medicament (e.g., the compound disclosed herein) refers to the amount of the medicament or compound that causes improvement of symptoms or prolongation of survival in an individual. Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the molecule can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., by measuring LD50 (the dosage lethal to 50% of the population) and ED50 (the dosage therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio of toxic to therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and can be expressed as LD50/ED50. Medicaments that exhibit high therapeutic indexes are preferred.


An effective or therapeutically effective amount is the amount of the compound or pharmaceutical composition that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, physician or other clinicians. The dosage is preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include ED50 with minimal or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending on the dosage form employed and/or the administration route utilized. The correct preparation, administration route, dosage and time interval between administrations should be selected based on methods known in the art while taking the specificity of the individual condition into account.


The dosage and time interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active moiety sufficient to achieve the desired effect; i.e., the minimum effective concentration (MEC). The MEC for each compound will vary, but can be estimated, for example, from in vitro data and animal experiments. The dosage necessary to obtain MEC will depend on the individual characteristics and administration route. In the case of topical administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of drugs may not be related to the plasma concentration.


The amount of the medicament or composition administered may depend on various factors, including the gender, age and weight of a subject being treated, the severity of affliction, the administration route and the judgment of the prescribing physician.


When required, the composition disclosed herein may be presented in a package or with a dispensing device containing one or more unit dosage forms containing active ingredients.

Definitions and General Terms

Unless otherwise stated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. All patents and publications referred to herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.


Unless otherwise stated, the following definitions used herein should be applied. For the purposes of the present invention, the chemical elements are in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements (CAS version), and the “Handbook of Chemistry and Physics”, 75th edition, 1994. In addition, general principles of organic chemistry can be found in the descriptions of “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, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.


The term “include”, “includes” or “including” is open-ended, i.e., including what is meant by the present invention, but not excluding other aspects.


The term “stereoisomer” refers to compounds having the same chemical structure, but different spatial arrangements of the atoms or groups. Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, conformers (rotamers), geometric isomers (cis/trans), atropisomers, and the like.


The term “enantiomer” refers to two isomers of a compound that do mot overlap but are mirror images of each other.


The term “diastereoisomer” refers to stereoisomers having two or more chiral centers and whose molecules are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers have different physical properties, such as melting points, boiling points, spectral properties, and reactivities. Mixtures of diastereomers can be separated by high resolution analytical procedures such as electrophoresis and chromatography (e.g., HPLC).


The stereochemical definitions and rules used herein generally follow 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.


Any asymmetric atom (e.g., carbon, etc.) of the compound disclosed herein can exist in a racemate or enantiomer enriched form, e.g., the (R)-, (S)- or (R,S)-configuration. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom has at least 0% 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.


Any resulting mixture of stereoisomers may be separated into pure or substantially pure geometric isomers, enantiomers and diastereomers depending on the differences in the physicochemical properties of the components, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization.


The term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to structural isomers having different energies that are interconvertible by a low energy barrier. If a tautomer is possible (e.g., in solution), the chemical equilibrium of the tautomer can be reached. For example, a proton tautomer, also known as a prototropic tautomer, includes the interconversion by proton transfer, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. A valence tautomer includes the interconversion by recombination of some bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the interconversion of the pentan-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerization is phenol-keto tautomerization. A specific example of phenol-keto tautomerization is the interconversion of pyridin-4-ol and pyridin-4(1H)-one tautomers. Unless otherwise indicated, all tautomeric forms of the compound disclosed herein are within the scope of the present invention.


In general, the term “substituted” means that one or more hydrogen atoms in a given structure are substituted with a particular substituent. Further, when the group is substituted with one or more substituents described above, the substituents are independent of each other, that is, the one or more substituents may be different from each other or the same. Unless otherwise indicated, the substitution of a substituent may occur at various substitutable positions of the substituted group. When more than one position in a given structure can be substituted with one or more substituents selected from particular groups, the substitution of the substituents may occur at various positions, identically or differently.


As will be understood by those skilled in the art,

On the day of the experiment, the medium was discarded and the cells were washed in an FLIPR buffer (each 30 mL buffer contains 0.3 mL of probenecid (Thermo, P36400), 0.6 mL of 1 M HEPES (Invitrogen, 15630080) and 29.1 mL of HBSS (Invitrogen, 14065056)). Each well was added with 20 μL of 0.5× Calcium 6 fluorescent dye (Molecular Devices, R8190) and then was subjected to dye-loading incubation at 37° C. for 1.5 h. Each well was added with 10 μL of test compound (which was dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM and serially diluted with buffer) or vehicle, and then was left to equilibrate for 30 min at room temperature. The cell plate was then placed in the FLIPR for baseline fluorescence measurements (excitation at 485 nm and emission at 525-535 nm). An agonist (BZ-ATP (Sigma, B6396) at a final concentration of 2.5 μM) or a vehicle (ultrapure water) was then added at 10 μL/well, fluorescence values were measured for 2 min at 1-second intervals, and finally the output fluorescence counts were analyzed.

As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the compounds disclosed herein exhibit good inhibitory activity against P2X3, wherein most of the compounds show stronger inhibitory activity than that of positive compound 2, and some of the compounds show stronger inhibitory activity than that of positive compound 1. Compounds with stronger inhibitory activity than that of positive compound 2 are preferred, and compounds with stronger inhibitory activity than that of positive compound 1 are more preferred.


Example B: Evaluation of In Vitro P2X2/3 Receptor Selectivity

The selectivity of the compounds disclosed herein for the P2X2/3 receptor was determined using the FLIPR (fluorescence imaging plate reader) method, showing that the compounds were inhibitors for the intracellular calcium increase induced by the activation of hP2X2/3 (heterodimeric receptors formed by human purinergic P2X receptors subtype 2 and subtype 3, Accession No. NM_002559.4 for P2X2 and Accession No. NM_002559.4 for P2X3) expressed in HEK293 cells (human renal epithelial cell line, ATCC).


HEK293 cells that stably express hP2X2/3 were cultured in DMEM high glucose medium containing 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum, Gibco, 10099-141), 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco, 15140-122) and 1 mg/mL G418 (Invitrogen, 10131027) in a cell incubator at 37° C., 5% humidity. Cells at 250000 cells/mL were seeded into a 96-well plate (25000 cells/well) 18-24 h prior to the FLIPR experiment and then incubated overnight in a cell incubator. On the day of the experiment, the medium was discarded and the cells were washed in an FLIPR buffer (0.3 mL of probenecid (Thermo, P36400), 0.6 mL of 1 M HEPES (Invitrogen, 15630080) and 29.1 mL of HBSS (Invitrogen, 14065056) per 30 mL of buffer). Each well was added with 75 μL of 1 mM Fluo-4 AM fluorescent dye (Thermo, F14202) and then was subjected to dye-loading incubation at 37° C. for 1.0 h. The 96-well plate was then washed once with buffer, added with a buffer containing a test compound or a vehicle at 50 μL per well and then incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The cell plate was then placed in the FLIPR for baseline fluorescence measurements (excitation at 485 nm and emission at 525-535 nm). An agonist (BZ-ATP (Sigma, B6396) at a final concentration of 5. μM) or a vehicle (ultrapure water) was then added at 50 μL/well, fluorescence values were measured for 2 min at 1-second intervals, and finally the output fluorescence counts were analyzed.


The IC50 values obtained by the above method are shown in Table 2.

Example C: Activity Test in Citric Acid Only Cough Models

Male Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs (300-350 g) were placed in an animal atomization box, and then the door of the atomization box was closed while the ultrasonic atomizer (Guangdong Yuehua) was turned on. 17.5% citric acid gas was introduced into the atomization box at a maximum atomization rate (about 2 mL/min) for 20 s, and coughs of the animals within 10 min were continuously observed from the time of the start of atomization. During the 10-min observation, coughs of the animals were counted manually, and the number of coughs were judged according to cough postures of the guinea pigs, such as abdominal twitching, mouth opening, and head inclining downward abruptly. The number of coughs during the first 5 min and that during 10 min were recorded, and the cough latency of the guinea pigs, namely the time from the initiation of citric acid induction to the appearance of the first cough, was also recorded.

Example D: Activity Test in ATP-Citric Acid Cough Models

Male Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs (300-400 g) were placed into a whole-body plethysmography box to adapt for 3-5 min, then ATP atomization is carried out for 2 min, and 3 min later, 5 min of citric acid atomization was followed, with all atomization rates being about 300 uL/min. The number of coughs and the cough latency of the animals within 10 min from the start of the citric acid atomization were recorded. During the 10-min observation, coughs of the animals were counted manually, and the coughs were judged according to cough postures of the guinea pigs, such as abdominal twitching, mouth opening, head inclining downward abruptly and the like. The number of coughs during 10 min were recorded, and the cough latency of the guinea pigs was also recorded.


The animals were divided into a vehicle group, a dextromethorphan (63 mg/kg) positive group, an AF-219 (30 mg/kg) positive group and Example 173 compound (3, 10, 30 mg/kg) administration groups, and all the compounds were orally administered. Except that dextromethorphan was administered 40 min before ATP-citric acid exposure, the remaining compounds were administered 2 h before ATP-citric acid exposure.

Example E: In Vitro Cytotoxicity Assay

In vitro cytotoxicity assay for the compounds disclosed herein was performed in HepG2 cells using the CCK-8 method. HepG2 cells (Beina Bio) in the logarithmic growth phase were collected, the concentration of cell suspension was adjusted, and then the cells were plated on a 96-well cell culture plate at 50,000 cells/well. The cells were then incubated overnight in a cell incubator of 5% humidity at 37° C., and after 80-90% cell confluence was achieved, test compounds or vehicle (DMSO) at various concentration gradients were added after medium change. The plate was incubated in a cell incubator of 5% humidity at 37° C. for 48 h. After the treatment, the medium in the plate was discarded. The plate was washed twice with PBS, added with CCK-8 working solution (Beyotime) at 100 μL per well, and then incubated at 37° C. for 1.5 h away from light. Absorbance at OD450nm was measured for each well on a microplate reader, and CC50 value of each compound was analyzed and calculated.


The CC50 values obtained by the above method are shown in Table 6.

Example F: Test of In Vitro Metabolic Stability

The in vitro metabolic stability of the compounds disclosed herein was determined through incubation of liver microsomes of various species. A proper amount of test compound was added into a liver microsome reaction system (1 mg/mL liver microsome protein, 25 U/mL glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase, 1 mM NADP, 6 mM D-glucose 6-phosphate and 5 mM MgCl2), and then the mixture was incubated in a water bath kettle at 37° C. to start the reaction. At each time point, 100 μL of the reaction mixture was added into a centrifuge tube containing 400 μL of internal standard working solution (containing a 200 ng/mL solution of dexamethasone, diclofenac, tolbutamide and labetalol in acetonitrile) precooled at 0° C. so as to terminate the reaction, and the mixture was then centrifuged at 10,000 g for 10 min at 4° C. The supernatant was collected for LC-MS assay so as to obtain the values of in vitro metabolic half-life of the test compounds in liver microsomes of various species.


The T1/2 values obtained by the above method are shown in Table 7.

Example G: Two-Bottle Dysgeusia Test

Male SD rats (SPF grade, aged 6-8 weeks) were subjected to adaptive drinking training for 3 days after warehousing, and the specific training content was as follows: animals were fed in separate cages, and two bottles of water (both were common drinking water) were placed in each cage; during the adaptive training, drinking water was completely prohibited at night every day (drinking water bottles were removed out) and then resupplied during 8:30 am to 5:30 pm; and the operation was repeated for 3 days, the positions of the two bottles of water were changed every day, and the animals could eat freely during the whole adaptive training period. All drinking water bottles were removed out 20 h before the start of the formal experiment, and all the animals were deprived of water until the start of the experiment. In the experiment, all the animals were randomly grouped and then subjected to a single intraperitoneal injection of a test compound or a vehicle before water was resupplied. The administration time was determined according to the Tmax of the test compound. Then the animals were placed in separate cages, and two bottles of drinking water (one bottle of normal drinking water and one bottle of 0.3 mM quinine water) were provided. The water intake of the animals was observed within 15 min, statistical analysis was performed based on quinine water intake/normal water intake, and positive compound 2 was used as the dysgeusia positive control.
