Description

The present application claims the right of the priority of Chinese patent application 2021107442008 filed on Jul. 1, 2021. The contents of the above Chinese patent application are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to an imidazole compound, an intermediate thereof, and a use thereof.


BACKGROUND

With the development of human society and the increasing aging of the population, deaths caused by thrombotic diseases currently account for 52% of the total deaths worldwide. The number of patients with thrombotic diseases continues to increase, and the incidence of thrombotic diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral thrombosis is on the rise, seriously threatening people's health.


Thrombus refers to the coagulation of blood components (platelets, coagulation factors) in the human body in blood vessels or heart chambers to form abnormal blood clots. Thrombus formed due to slow blood flow, abnormal blood components, or increased blood viscosity can lead to acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, and other diseases of the heart, brain, and pulmonary circulation. It is also a common complication in surgical operations, threatening human life. The formation mechanism of thrombus and the factors influencing thrombus formation are quite complex. The formation of thrombosis is mainly related to six factors: (1) changes in the vascular wall; (2) changes in the tunica intima of the vascular wall; (3) changes in blood flow speed; (4) changes in platelets; (5) changes in the state of blood coagulation; (6) changes in hemorheological factors, etc.


Antithrombotic drugs typically include antiplatelet drugs, anticoagulants, and thrombolytic drugs. TXA2 (Thromboxane A2) is a bioactive substance produced by platelets that strongly constricts blood vessels and causes platelet aggregation. Prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) and prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) form TXA2 under the action of TXA2 synthase. The pharmacological mechanism of TXA2 synthase inhibitors is to inhibit platelet aggregation by inhibiting TXA2 synthase.


Ozagrel is the world's first marketed potent thromboxane A2 (TXA2) synthase inhibitor. It is an antithrombotic drug first marketed in 1988 through joint research by Ono and Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. of Japan and is available in two medicinal forms, sodium salt (CAS: 189224-26-8) and monohydrochloride salt (CAS: 78712-43-3). The active ingredient of its sodium salt form was initially marketed under the trade name Xanbao and commonly used to treat acute thrombotic cerebral infarction and dyskinesia associated with cerebral infarction; its monohydrochloride salt is used to treat bronchial asthma and angina pectoris.


The antithrombotic drug Ozagrel is widely used in clinical practice with clear efficacy, but the metabolic stability of this active ingredient is poor and its distribution in brain tissue is limited.


CONTENT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

The existing antithrombotic drug Ozagrel has poor metabolic stability and low distribution in brain tissue. For this reason, the present disclosure provides an imidazole compound, an intermediate thereof, and a use thereof. The imidazole compound of formula I of the present disclosure is based on the antithrombotic drug Ozagrel as a precursor. Through structural modification, its drug-like properties are improved, especially increasing the distribution of the drug in brain tissue, thereby enhancing its pharmacodynamic activity in the treatment of acute thrombotic cerebral infarction and dyskinesia associated with cerebral infarction.


The present disclosure provides a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;

Effect Example 1: Analysis of the result of the experimental study of the inhibitory effect of the test compounds on platelet aggregation


1. Experimental Method 1
1.1 Grouping

Several experimental groups were established, including a blank control group, an AA (arachidonic acid) model control group, and various test compounds. Each test compound had three concentration groups: 10−3 M, 10−4 M, and 10−5 M. The data from the blank and model control group were shared among the different drug concentration groups as a control.


1.2 Preparation of Rat Test Plasma

Male SD rats were anesthetized with 3% chloral hydrate (300 mg/kg) through intraperitoneal injection. After being fixed in a supine position, the skin of the neck was cut about 3 cm, bluntly separated with a hemostat, and the trachea was exposed after the common carotid artery was separated. The distal end of the common carotid artery was ligated with a fine thread, and the proximal end was clamped with an arterial clamp for vascular intubation. After the intubation was fixed, the artery clamp was opened, and the blood was placed into a blood collection tube containing 3.8% trisodium citrate so that the blood was mixed well with the 3.8% trisodium citrate in a volume ratio of 9:1.


The prepared anticoagulant blood was mixed well and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 500 rpm, then the upper layer of plasma was aspirated to obtain platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and the PRP was centrifuged again for 5 minutes at 3,000 rpm. The supernatant was discarded, and the platelet precipitate was obtained, which was washed once with Ca2+-free HEPES-Tyrode's buffer, then centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded, and the platelets were resuspended with Ca2+-free HEPES-Tyrode's buffer to obtain the washed platelets.


1.3 Inhibitory Effect of the Test Compound on AA-Induced Platelet Aggregation in Rats In Vitro

First, 300 μL of Ca2+-containing HEPES-Tyrode's solution was taken into the test cup, put into the test wells, and calibrated by pressing the “PPP” key. Subsequently, 240 μL of the washed platelets were added to the test cup, then added with 30 μL of different concentrations of drug solution, incubated for 10 minutes at 37° C. in a preheated bath, and then put into the test wells. 3 μL of 100× CaCl2 solution (final concentration of 0.2 g/L) and 30 μL of inducer (final concentration of AA of 800 μM) were added to the test wells, and then the “Start” key was pressed immediately. The maximum aggregation rate was recorded every 60 s. The measurement was repeated three times for each concentration for 10 minutes, and the aggregation curve was plotted.


The platelet aggregation inhibition rate was calculated with the following formula:





Inhibition rate (%)=(maximum aggregation rate in the model control group−maximum aggregation rate in the administration group)/maximum aggregation rate in the model control group×100%


1.4 Statistical Method

All data were expressed as mean±standard deviation (mean±SD). SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data. Intergroup data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, with P<0.05 considered as statistically significant and P<0.01 considered as highly significant.

2. Experimental Method 2
2.1 Grouping

Several experimental groups were established, including a blank control group, an AA model control group, and various test compounds. Each test compound had three concentration groups: 10−3 M, 10−4 M, and 10−5 M.


2.2 Preparation of Rabbit Test Plasma

Rabbits were anesthetized with a 20% urethane solution (5 mL/kg body weight) through intraperitoneal injection. After being fixed in a supine position, the skin of the neck was cut about 6 cm, bluntly separated with a hemostat, and the trachea was exposed after the common carotid artery was separated. The distal end of the common carotid artery was ligated with a fine thread, and the proximal end was clamped with an arterial clamp for vascular intubation. After the intubation was fixed, the artery clamp was opened, and the blood was placed into a blood collection tube containing 3.8% trisodium citrate so that the blood was mixed well with the 3.8% trisodium citrate in a volume ratio of 9:1.


The prepared anticoagulant blood was mixed well and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 500 rpm, and the upper layer of plasma was aspirated, then platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was obtained, and the remaining anticoagulant blood was centrifuged for 15 minutes at 3,000 rpm, followed by aspirating the supernatant to obtain platelet-poor plasma (PPP).


2.3 Inhibitory Effect of the Test Compound on AA-Induced Platelet Aggregation in Rabbits In Vitro

First, 300 μL of PPP was added to the test cup and put into the test wells, and calibrated by pressing the “PPP” key. Subsequently, 240 μL of the washed platelets were added to the test cup, then added with 30 μL of different concentrations of drug solution, incubated for 10 minutes at 37° C. in a preheated bath, and then put into the test wells. 3 μL of 100× CaCl2) solution (final concentration of 0.2 g/L) and 30 μL of inducer (final concentration of AA of 80 M) were added to the test wells, and then the “Start” key was pressed immediately. The maximum aggregation rate within 4 minutes was measured. Measurements were repeated five times for each drug concentration.


The platelet aggregation inhibition rate was calculated with the following formula:





Inhibition rate (%)=(maximum aggregation rate in the AA model control group−maximum aggregation rate in the administration group)/maximum aggregation rate in the AA model control group×100%


2.4 Statistical Method

All data were expressed as mean standard deviation (mean b SD). SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data. Intergroup data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, with P<0.05 considered as statistically significant and P<0.01 considered as highly significant.

Effect Example 2: Experimental study on the effects of therapeutic administration (i.v.) of the test compound on cerebral ischemic injury caused by middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion in the rat brain


I. Experimental Method
1. Establishment of the Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion/Reperfusion (MCAO/R) Model in Rats

Male SD rats weighing 250 to 300 g were taken, and the rats in each group fasted for 12 hours before modeling, while water was not restricted. According to the method of Longa et al.[1], a rat model of MCAO/R was established by occluding the blood flow of internal carotid artery using the thread embolization method. The rats were anesthetized with 3% chloral hydrate (300 mg/kg, 1 mL/100 g body weight) through intraperitoneal injection and fixed in the supine position on the operating table. A midline incision was made in the neck, and the right common carotid artery was isolated using forceps and threaded for later use. The external and internal carotid arteries were isolated from the bifurcation of the common carotid artery. A single thread was threaded through the internal carotid artery, and two threads were threaded through the external carotid artery. Both distal and proximal ends were ligated, and the middle part of the ligation site was cut using ophthalmic scissors. The proximal main trunk of the external carotid artery was isolated and reserved for later use. The prepared cotton thread was used to half-ligate the common carotid artery (tying a slipknot), and the thread prepared for the internal carotid artery was tightened with hemostatic forceps, temporarily occluding the blood flow of the internal carotid artery. A small incision at the proximal main trunk of the external carotid artery was made using ophthalmic scissors, and then, the fishing line was held with straight forceps, inserted from this incision, and slowly advanced through the isolated proximal main trunk of the external carotid artery towards the intracranial direction of the internal carotid artery. The advancement was stopped at a predetermined position, and then the thread of the internal carotid artery that was tightened with the hemostatic forceps was loosened. The predetermined position referred to the point where, starting from the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and advancing about 18 mm, resistance was encountered, indicating that all blood supply to the Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) has been occluded. Another thread was threaded and tightened around the proximal main trunk of the external carotid artery and the fishing line that had already been inserted into the predetermined position. The half-ligated thread on the common carotid artery was then loosened, and the skin was subsequently sutured. After 2 hours of ischemia, a small section of the fishing line was pulled out. If the rat showed intense struggling or twisting, it was considered a successful reperfusion. After rats in the blank control group were anesthetized, only the bifurcation of the internal and external carotid arteries was exposed without the occlusion of the MCA.


2. Animal Grouping and Administration

Successfully modeled rats (neurological function score of 3 after reperfusion) were taken and divided into 20 groups (8 rats for each) according to the random number table method. The groups were divided into a model control group, three dose groups (high, 12 mg/kg, 2.4 mg/mL; medium, 6 mg/kg, 1.2 mg/mL; low, 3 mg/kg, 0.6 mg/mL) for each of the six test compounds, and a positive drug Ozagrel group (6 mg/kg, 1.2 mg/mL), respectively. Both blank and model control groups were administered equal volumes of mixed solvents, and the rats in each group were administered by tail vein injection (i.v.) 2 hours after reperfusion, once a day for 3 consecutive days, with a volume of 0.5 mL/100 g body weight.


3. Effect of Therapeutic Administration on the Neurological Function Score in MCAO/R Rats

Ten minutes after the last administration, the neurological function of the animals was graded according to the modified Bederson scoring method. The standard is as follows[2]:

    • 0 point: no neurological symptoms;
    • 1 point: when the rat is suspended by lifting its tail, the forelimb on the surgical side of the rat was flexed and pressed against the chest wall;
    • 2 points: on a smooth plane, when the rat is pushed from the surgical side to the opposite side, the resistance is less than when it is moved to the same side;
    • 3 points: the animal moves around or in circles when moving freely;
    • 4 points: flaccid paralysis, no spontaneous movement of limbs.


4. Effect of Therapeutic Administration on Cerebral Infarction Rate and Brain Water Content in MCAO/R Rats

After Bederson scoring, the rats were executed by cervical dislocation, and the whole brain was removed and weighed. After weighing, the whole brain was placed in a −20° C. refrigerator for 20 minutes. Four coronal cuts were made at the optic chiasm and 2 mm before and after it. The five cut brain slices were immersed in a phosphate buffer solution containing 1% TTC, and incubated in a 37° C. water bath in the dark for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of incubation, the brain slices were taken out, arranged in order, and photographed with a digital camera. The pale area (infarct area) and the non-pale area (normal area) were separated, weighed, and recorded as the weight of the pale area and the weight of the non-pale area, respectively. The sum of the two weights was recorded as the wet weight of the brain tissue. The infarct percentage is calculated as follows[3]:





Infarct percentage(%)=weight of pale area/(weight of pale area+weight of non-pale area)×100%


The stained brain tissues were dried for 24 hours at 110° C. in an oven, weighed, and recorded as the dry weight of the brain tissues. The brain water content was calculated by comparing the dry weight of the brain with the wet weight of the brain[4]:





Brain tissue water content(%)=(1−dry weight of brain tissue/wet weight of brain tissue)×100%.


5. Statistical Method

All data were expressed as Mean±SD and statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics v22.0 software, and intergroup data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. P<0.05 is considered as statistically significant and P<0.01 is considered as highly significant. Data results were plotted using Graphpad Prism 5.0 software. (Note: The blank control group is not included in the statistical test of neurological function scores and cerebral infarction area).

III. Experimental Conclusion

Under the conditions of this experiment, each test compound can significantly reduce the infarct area after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats at medium and high doses. Low dose of 13 can also significantly reduce infarct size. High dose of 11 can significantly reduce neurological deficits in rats. Low and medium doses of 19 and 17, and low dose of 11 did not significantly improve cerebral edema in rats. Medium and high doses of 13 can significantly prolong the coagulation time of rats. The result shows that intravenous administration of the test drugs can improve MCAO/R-induced cerebral ischemic injury in rats, with high doses of 19 and 11 being more advantageous in reducing the infarct area (with the smallest mean infarct rate), and high dose of 11 being more advantageous in improving the neurological function scores of the rats.


Effect Example 3: Pharmacokinetic and blood-brain barrier (BBB) studies of compounds after single intravenous (IV) and oral (PO) administration in SD rats


I. Experimental Method
1. Experimental Method of Gavage Administration in Rats

The experimental method of administration by gavage injection in rats: SD rats weighing 180 to 220 g were fasted for 12 hours prior to the experiment, with free access to water. After administration, food and water were withheld for 4 hours. After this 4-hour period, the rats were allowed free access to water, and food was provided after 8 hours. The drugs were administered at a set dose. N=3, blood samples were taken before administration, and 5 minutes, 0.25 hours, 0.5 hours, 0.75 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, and 24 hours after administration, respectively, and placed into sodium heparin anticoagulant tubes. The tubes were centrifuged for 1 hour at 4° C. and at 8000 rpm for 5 minutes, and the plasma was then separated and stored in centrifuge tubes at −70° C. for analysis.


2. Experimental Method for Intravenous Administration to Rats

The experimental method of intravenous administration to rats: SD rats weighing 180 to 220 g were fasted for 12 hours prior to the experiment, with free access to water. After administration, food and water were withheld for 4 hours. After this 4-hour period, the rats were allowed free access to water, and food was provided after 8 hours. The drugs were administered at a set dose. N=3, blood samples were taken before administration, and 5 minutes, 0.25 hours, 0.5 hours, 0.75 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, and 24 hours after administration, respectively, and placed into sodium heparin anticoagulant tubes. The tubes were centrifuged for 1 hour at 4° C. and at 8000 rpm for 5 minutes, and the plasma was then separated and stored in centrifuge tubes at −70° C. for analysis.


3. Data Processing

The plasma concentration-time data were processed using the Phoenix® WinNonlin® 8.0 program to calculate pharmacokinetic parameters.


Among them, Cmax and Tmax are measured values, the elimination rate constant k of the tail section of the C-t curve is obtained from the linear regression of LnC-t, and the value of AUC0-4 is calculated by the trapezoidal area method, and the area under the curve from 0 to ∞ time is AUC=AUC0-4+Ct/k.

III. EXPERIMENTAL CONCLUSION

When five samples of Ozagrel, 11, 15, 17, 18, and 19 were administered intravenously at 1 mg/kg, the T1/2 and AUC(0-∞) of 11, 15, 17, and 18 were significantly increased in the whole body blood circulation system as compared to that of Ozagrel, suggesting that the metabolic stability of the new compounds is more superior. In the brain tissue, the T1/2 and AUC(0-∞) of 11, 15, 17, and 18 were significantly increased, indicating that the new compounds are more abundant in the brain tissue, which is more conducive to exerting better efficacy.


When five samples of Ozagrel, 11, 15, 17, 18, and 19 were administered orally at 6 mg/kg, the T1/2 and AUC(0-∞) of 11, 15, 17, and 18 were significantly increased in the whole body blood circulation system as compared to that of Ozagrel, suggesting that the metabolic stability of the new compounds is more superior. In the brain tissue, the T1/2 and AUC(0-∞) of 11, 15, 17, and 18 were significantly increased, indicating that the new compounds are more abundant in the brain tissue, which is more conducive to exerting better efficacy.
