TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and particularly relates to an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor and use thereof.


BACKGROUND

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) belongs to the NOD-like receptors (NLRs) family, also known as “pyrin domain-containing protein 3”. NLRP3 contains three modules which are a pyrin domain (PYD), a nucleotide-binding site domain (NBD), and a leucine-rich repeat (LRR). Upon receiving a stimulus from a sterile inflammatory risk signal, NLRP3 interacts with adaptor apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) and pro-caspase 1 to form an NLRP3 inflammasome. Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome results in the release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18).


Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome usually requires two steps. The first step involves a priming signal, where Toll-like receptors recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) which in turn transmit a signal into the cells to mediate the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby up-regulating the transcription levels of NLRP3 inflammasome-associated components including inactive NLRP3 and pro-IL-1β. The second step involves an activation signal; after a P2X7 receptor and the like receive signal stimulation of ATP, nigericin and the like, an NLRP3 monomer is oligomerized to form an NLRP3 oligomer, and then ASC and pro-caspase 1 are recruited to assemble into an NLRP3 inflammasome complex. This triggers the conversion of pro-caspase 1 to caspase 1, and also the production and secretion of mature IL-1β and IL-1β.


Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome is associated with various diseases, for example, autoinflammatory fever syndromes such as cryo-pyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), sickle cell disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), chronic liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), gout, pseudogout (chondrocalcinosis), type I and type II diabetes and related complications (e.g., nephropathy, retinopathy), neuroinflammation-related disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis, brain infection, acute injury, neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer's disease), atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk (e.g., hypertension), hidradenitis suppurativa, wound healing and scarring, and cancer (e.g., colorectal cancer, lung cancer, myeloproliferative tumors, leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myelofibrosis). Most treatment methods include symptomatic treatment, slowing of the progression of the diseases/disorders, and surgeries as the last treatment means.


Currently, as the varieties of NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors are few, the development of an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor with relatively high activity and better druggability becomes clinical requirements.

The present invention researches the following compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a stereoisomer or a tautomer thereof, and discovers that the compound, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt, the stereoisomer or the tautomer thereof has relatively high biological activity on an NLRP3 inflammasome and has important clinical development value for treating NLRP3-associated diseases.

Test Samples: The compounds of the present invention prepared according to exemplary methods.


THP-1 is Immortalized Human Macrophage Cell Line





    • Test instrument: microplate reader (made from PE)





Test Method:





    • 1. THP-1 cells were cultured in a 1640 complete medium (500 mL 1640+56 mL FBS+560 μL 1000×P/S+2 μL mercaptoethanol) for 3-20 passages of cells.

    • 2. Culture plate coating: 100 μL polylysine solution was added into a 96-well cell culture plate, and the reaction was carried out at 37° C. for 30 min. The solution was discarded, and PBS was washed twice for later use.

    • 3. Induced differentiation of THP-1: THP-1 cells were resuspended in an appropriate amount of complete medium containing 10 ng/mL PMA to enable the cell suspension density to be 5×105 cell/mL, then the cell suspension was added into a 96-well plate at 100 μL/well, and the plate was placed in a carbon dioxide cell incubator at 37° C. and cultured for 16 h overnight.

    • 4. Stimulation of THP-1:

    • a. A serum-free THP-1 culture medium containing LPS was added, and the plate was placed in a carbon dioxide cell incubator at 37° C. and cultured for 3 h, wherein the final concentration of the culture medium was 500 ng/mL.

    • b. The test compounds were prepared into a mother liquor having gradient concentrations by using DMSO, and then the mother liquor was added into the cells. The resulting mixture was uniformly mixed, and finally diluted by 1:1000 times, and the cells were placed in a carbon dioxide cell incubator at 37° C. and cultured for 1 h.

    • c. Nigericin was added to each well at a final concentration of 10 μg/mL, and the plate was placed in a carbon dioxide cell incubator at 37° C. and cultured for 30 min.

    • d. The media in wells were transferred to a new culture plate, and then the plate was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 min. Then the supernatant was transferred to a new 96-well plate.

    • e. The collected cell culture supernatant samples were tested for the content of human IL-1β by using a commercial Elisa kit, as specified in the instructions.





The test results are shown in Table 2 below.
