BACKGROUND ART

In the case of Alzheimer's dementia, which is manifested by fatal dysfunction of the nervous system and motor impairment, due to a lack of understanding of the pathological phenomenon, existing therapeutic agents are mainly acetylcholinesterase inhibitors that alleviate the worsening of symptoms. According to continuous research on pathological phenomena, recently, with the development of therapeutic agents for degenerative brain diseases, there has been a so-called paradigm shift that moves from symptom alleviation to the development of a novel target protein inhibitor, and at the center of this, there are protein kinases, which are intracellular signaling proteins that control the apoptosis and necrosis of nerve cells.


In a representative signaling system, the MAPK pathway, which controls cell apoptosis, unlike approximately 10 similar isozymes, it is known that the c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 (JNK3) isoform is concentrated in brain tissue and thus is deeply related to the apoptosis of nerve cells, and is distributed in pyramidal neurons (yellow) located in the CA1 and CA2 parts of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, causing apoptosis due to overexpression of c-Jun, which is one of the intraneuronal substances, the degree of phosphorylation by JNK3, and the hyperactivation of JNK3.


First, JNK3 phosphorylates and activates amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is a precursor of Aβ as the main cause of Alzheimer's dementia, to be located in the cell membrane and to promote conversion into Aβ42. Particularly, the endocytosis of phosphorylated APP in this process is known to be a critical step in Aβ42 production. Second, it is noteworthy that Tau, which is the main ingredient of NFT found in brain cells of Alzheimer patients, is also phosphorylated by JNK. In addition, it was reported that neurodegeneration induced by APP/Aβ is attenuated (neuroprotection) in JNK3 gene-deleted animal models (Tg2576/PSM146L transgenic mice), showing that JNK3 also mediates the production and toxicity of Aβ, and a JNK3 inhibitor can be effectively used as an AD therapeutic agent.

Based on this, the present invention was completed.

In addition, the acid addition salt according to the present invention may be prepared by evaporating a solvent or excess acid from the above mixture and then drying it, or by suction-filtering the precipitated salt.


In addition, a pharmaceutically acceptable metal salt may be prepared using a base. An alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt is obtained by, for example, dissolving a compound in an excess of alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide solution, filtering an insoluble compound salt, and evaporating and drying the filtrate. Here, it is pharmaceutically suitable to prepare a sodium, potassium, or calcium salt as a metal salt. The corresponding silver salt is obtained by reacting an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt with a suitable silver salt (e.g., silver nitrate).

Compound 12a (25 mg, 0.043 mmol) was dissolved in MC (1.072 mL), 20% TFA (v/v) (268 μL) was added, and then the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. After confirming the termination of the reaction, the resulting product was concentrated with MC three times. The resulting concentrate was dissolved in THF (1.15 mL, 0.1M), TEA (40 μL, 0.230 mmol) was added, and cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride (10.43 μL, 0.1.15 mmol) was slowly added and stirred. After confirming the termination of the reaction, the resulting product was extracted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and washed with water and brine. After drying water with anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), filtration and concentration were performed. Purification and separation were performed through column chromatography, thereby obtaining Compound 16a (44 mg, 66.8%).

Compound 16a (23.3 mg, 0.040 mmol), which had been obtained in the previous experiment, was diluted in ammonia in 7N-methanol (0.91 mL) and then stirred at room temperature for 3 days. It was able to be confirmed that the initial ethyl ester develops into methyl ester, and an amide is formed from the methyl ester. After confirming the completion of the reactor, the resulting product was extracted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and the organic layer was washed with water and brine. After removing water with anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and concentrating the solvent, the resulting solution was purified by column chromatography using MC and MeOH (MC:MeOH=20:1) as mobile phase, thereby obtaining Compound 20a (13.8 mg, 81.9%).

Synthesis was carried out using methylamine in 33% ethanol (1.75 mL) instead of an ammonia solution in the same synthesis method as above, and an organic layer was washed with water and brine. After removing water with anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and concentrating the solvent, the resulting solution was purified by column chromatography using MC and MeOH (MC:MeOH=20:1) as mobile phase, thereby obtaining Compound 24.
