Abstract
The present application provides a novel thyroid hormone ß receptor agonist having better activity, selectivity or safety and represented by formula (I), and use thereof in preventing or treating a disease related to the ß receptor agonist. The disease comprises, for example, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, the liver disease (fatty liver, NASH, NAFLD, etc.), the cardiovascular disease (atherosclerosis, etc.), the thyroid disease (hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, etc.), etc.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to a novel thyroid hormone β receptor agonist, which may be used for treating obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, liver diseases (fatty liver, NASH, NAFLD, and the like), cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis, and the like) and thyroid diseases (hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, and the like).


BACKGROUND

Thyroid hormone is a hormone secreted by a thyroid gland and acts on almost all cells of a human body. Thyroid hormone comprises: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The T4 may be subjected to deiodinination into the T3 by specific deiodinase to be effective. The T3 has a fast and strong action, and a duration shorter than that of the T4, while the T4 has a slow and weak action, and a long duration. Although the specific deiodinase exists in all tissues, more is found in liver and kidney.


The thyroid hormone is necessary for the normal growth and development of the human body. Either insufficient or excessive secretion of the thyroid hormone may cause diseases. Insufficient thyroid hormone will affect physical and mental development, which may lead to cretinism. Adults with insufficient thyroid hormone may suffer from myxedema, In the case of hyperthyroidism nervousness, impatience, tremor, heart rate increase, cardiac output increase and other phenomena occur. The thyroid hormone can promote substance oxidation, increase oxygen consumption, enhance a basal metabolic rate and enhance heat production.


Normally, the central nervous system controls the release of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus, which regulates the secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) by adenohypophysis, and TSH stimulates thyroid cells to secrete T4 and T3. When the concentration of T4 and T3 in the blood increases, the synthesis and release of TSH in the adenohypophysis are inhibited by negative feedback, and the responsiveness of the adenohypophysis to TRH is reduced, thereby reducing the secretion of TSH so that the secretion of thyroid hormones is not too high. However, when the concentrations of the T4 and the T3 in blood are reduced, the negative feedback action on the adenohypophysis is reduced. The increase of the secretion of the TSH prompt the increase of the secretion of the T4 and the T3. In short, a hypothalamus-adenohypophysis-thyroid gland regulation loop may maintain relatively constant secretion of the thyroid hormone.


The biological activity of the thyroid hormone is mediated by thyroid hormone receptors (TRs), which belong to a superfamily of nuclear receptors. The TR has a ligand binding domain, a DNA binding domain and an amino terminal domain. The TR has four subtypes, TRα1, TRα2, TRβ1 and TRβ2 respectively. The TRα1 is mainly found in heart and the TRβ1 is mainly found in liver. The mRNA expression of the TRβ2 is mostly limited to adenohypophysis and the hypothalamus. The thyroid hormone binds to the TRα1, the TRβ1 and the TRβ2 to generate corresponding physiological effects. The thyroid hormone does not bind to the TRα2


Therapeutic benefits, such as treating the obesity, may be achieved by making full use of the advantages of the thyroid hormone in increasing metabolic rate, oxygen consumption and heat release. The hyperthyroidism often results in food intake but the overall increase of a basal metabolic rate (BMR) as well. Hyperthyroidism is often accompanied with a weight loss of about 15%, while hypothyroidism is often accompanied with a weight gain of 25% to 30%. When the T3 is used for treating the hypothyroidism, most patients have the weight gain.


Furthermore, the thyroid hormone can also reduce serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) (Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology 37(2004): 1137-1146). Existing studies have shown that hyperthyroidism significantly reduces total serum cholesterol, which is mainly because the thyroid hormone increases the expression of LDL receptors in liver, thus promoting a process of metabolism of cholesterol to bile acid; hypothyroidism is associated with hypercholesterolemia. Therefore, the thyroid hormone may reduce incidences of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.


When treating diseases with thyroid hormones, due to individual differences, there are often side effects of excessive physiological doses, including heart problems (mainly refers to tachycardia), muscle weakness, excessive weight loss, etc., and long-term use of thyroid hormones may result in bone loss. Thus, it is highly required to develop new novel drugs through structure modification of the thyroid hormone to maintain its beneficial effects and reduce its side effects for the related diseases treatment, such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, liver diseases (fatty liver, NASH. NAFLD, and the like), cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis, and the like), thyroid diseases (hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, and the like), and other related diseases.


A pyridazinone thyroid hormone analogue, represented by structure MGL3196, was patented by Madrigal Pharmaceuticals (CN101228135B), and is currently in phase III clinical trials for NASH and NAFLD treatment. Due to its low activity and poor permeability, an oral dosage of 80 mg to 100 mg per day is required. The dose is significantly higher than other products on the same target.

Compound VK2809, patented by Viking Therapeutics (CN1882327C), is in 2b clinical trial for NASH treatment. Based on phase I clinical data, the compound had safety problems and a relatively narrow therapeutic window. Liver enzyme increase, a symbol of liver injury, was observed. At the same time, cartilage damage was found in preclinical toxicological studies (J. Med. Chem. 2014, 57, 3912-3923). Eprotirome, patented by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co (CN1216857C), was terminated in phase III clinical trial. According to the reported clinical data, there was also an increase in liver enzyme. The cartilage injury was also found in the preclinical toxicological research. For other patents, such as pyridine derivatives (CN102459185) and indole derivatives (WO2002051805), there are only activity data reported without further research going on. There is no product advanced to clinical trial

Example 48 In Vitro Binding Experiment of TRα, or TRβ

In vitro analysis of the compound agonism on TRα or TRβ was performed by peptide recruitment experiment based on time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay. In the experiment, a Europium-anti-GST antibody (Cisbio, 61GSTKLB), a biotin-SRC2-2 co-activated peptide (Sangon Biotech), streptavidin-d2 (Cisbio, 610SADAB), RXRα (Pharmaron), and TRα-LBD (Invitrogen, PV4762), or TRβ-LBD (Invitrogen, PV4764) with a GST tag were used. The Europium-anti-GST antibody indirectly labeled the TRα-LBD, or the TRβ-LBD by binding to the GST tag. The Streptavidin-d2 (Cisbio, 610SADAB) indirectly labeled the SRC2-2 co-activated peptide by binding to a biotin tag. In the case of existence of the RXRα, the TRα-LBD, or the TRP-LBD could form a heterodimer TRα-LBD/RXRα, or TRβ-LBD/RXRα with the RXRα respectively. An agonis bound to the TRα-LBD/RXRα, or the TRβ-LBD/RXRα and led to a conformational change of the TRα-LBD, or the TRβ-LBD, thus improving a recruitment ability of the heterodimer to the SRC2-2 co-activated peptide. Meanwhile, since a distance between the d2-labeled SRC2-2 co-activated peptide and the Europium-anti-GST antibody was reduced, a TR-FRET signal was increased.


Depending on the effect of the compound on TRα or TRO activity at different concentrations, the agonism of the compound can be evaluated

The positive compound MGL3196 was prepared according to the method described in CN101228135B.


Example 49 In Vitro TRα, or TRβ Cell Transfection Experiment

The experiment was designed to evaluate the agonistic effect of the compound on TRα or the TRβ. Coding sequences of TRα-LBD, or TRβ-LBD and RXRα-LBD were inserted into a pBIND plasmid (Promega, E1581). Two expression vectors and reporter vectors (pGL4.35 carried with a stably integrated luciferase reporter gene driven by a GAL4 promoter) (Promega, E1370) were co-expressed in host cells. When the agonist bound to the corresponding chimeric receptor, the chimeric receptor bound to the GAL4 binding site on the reporter gene vector and stimulated reporter gene expression. The agonistic activity of a compound against TRα or TRO can be evaluated by the intensity of the luminescence signal

Step 2: Plate Inoculation and Cell Culture


Second Step: Plate Inoculation and Culture of Cells


1) A tube of hepatocytes of the donor used in the experiment preserved at ultra-low temperature was taken, and the hepatocytes were ensured to be still frozen at low temperature before resuscitation. The hepatocytes were quickly placed in a water bath at 37° C. and gently shaken until all ice crystals were dispersed, and were transferred to a biosafety cabinet after spraying 70 vol % ethanol.


2) Contents of hepatocyte tubules were poured into a 50 mL centrifuge tube containing 50 mL of resuscitation culture medium (with a composition referring to Table 3, directly mixed evenly), and centrifuged at 80 g for 8 minutes. After centrifugation, the resuscitation culture medium was sucked out and an inoculation culture medium was added (with a composition referring to Table 4, directly mixed evenly). The cells were counted by AO/PI staining to obtain a cell suspension with a cell density of 0.2×106 cells per milliliter.


3) The cell suspension above was inoculated into a 96-well plate coated with collagen I, with 100 μL per well. The culture plate was placed in a 5% CO2 incubator with 95% relative humidity to culture for 4 hours to 6 hours.


4) After incubation for 4 hours to 6 hours, the state of the cells was observed under microscope. The culture plate was shaken gently, the inoculation culture medium was sucked out, and 100 μL of incubation culture medium was added into each well (with a composition referring to Table 5). A toxicity test could be carried out after culturing in the incubator for 18 hours to 20 hours.


5) Before administration, the morphology of the cells was observed under microscope. The culture medium in the culture plate was sucked out, and 100 μL of solvent control (DMSO), or test substance working solution was added into each well. Three parallel samples were tested under each condition.


6) The newly prepared working solution or solvent control was used for solution exchange every 24 hours after dosing.


After the working solution acted for 48 hours, the morphology of the cells was observed under microscope for later use.


Step 3: Cytotoxicity Detection


1) A CellTiter-Glo (Promega, article number G9243) reagent stored at −20° C. was melted in a water bath at 37° C.


2) After the cell culture plate obtained above was incubated for 48 hours, 50 μL of CellTiter-Glo solution was directly added into each experimental well.


3) The cell culture plate was vortexed at 400 rpm for 10 minutes, and incubated at room temperature to stabilize a luminescence signal.


After 10 minutes 100 μL of reaction solution was sucked from each well and transferred to a new white nontransparent-bottom flat plate (Corning 96-well plate Cat No. 3917). The


chemiluminescence value of each well was read by a microplate reader (a luminescence value of the white nontransparent-bottom flat plate was recorded as “a luminescence valueblank”; and a luminescence value of the solvent control was recorded as “a luminescence valuesolvent”).


Step 4: Data Processing





Cell viability(%)=[(luminescence valueto-be-tested compound−luminescence valueblank)/(luminescence valuesolvent−luminescence valueblank)]×100%


A curve of the cell viability (%) vs the concentration of the compound was plotted and IC50 of the compound was calculated by fitting the cell viability (%) to the concentration of the compound with GraphPad Prism 8.0.2.






Y=bottom+(top−bottom)/(1+10{circumflex over ( )}((Log IC50−X)×hillslope))


X was the concentration of the compound; and Y was the cell vitality (%).

Example 51 PK Experiment of Cynomolgus Monkeys

The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic behavior of the compound to be tested after single intravenous and intragastric administration, and to study the bioavailability after intragastric administration, providing animal experimental data for clinical studies.


Preparation of solutions for intravenous injection and intragastric administration: an appropriate amount of compound to be tested was accurately weighed, and mixed with a suitable solvent (5 vol % DMSO+10 vol % polyethylene glycol−15-hydroxystearate+85 vol % normal saline). After vortex, or ultrasound processing, a clear and transparent solution (the solution for intravenous injection administration), or a uniform suspension was obtained. The solution administrated by intravenous injection needed to be filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane


Experimental design: before the first dose the cynomolgus monkeys were divided into 2 groups by body weight with 3 male cynomolgus monkeys in each group, where animals in group 1 were given the compound to be tested (1 mg/kg) by single intravenous injection (IV); and animals in the 2rd group were administrated with the compound to be tested (5 mg/kg) by single intragastric administration (PO). The animals were weighed before administration, and dosages were calculated based on the weights of the animals.


Sample collection: a whole blood sample (about 0.2 mL) was collected at a specified time by venipuncture of an upper limb (or other suitable blood collection sites), and the actual blood collection time was recorded in test records. The acceptable error for one acquisition time point within 1 hour after administration is ±1 minute, and the acceptable error for other time points is ±5% of the theoretical time. All blood samples were immediately transferred to a labeled commercial centrifuge tube containing K2-EDTA. After blood sample collection, the blood sample was centrifuged at 4° C. and 3,200 g for 10 minutes, the supernatant plasma was sucked, quickly put in dry ice, and kept in a refrigerator at −70±10° C. for LC-MS/MS analysis. The collection time of both groups was 0.083 hour, 0.25 hour, 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours after administration.


Data processing: Area under the curve (AUC(0-t) and AUC(0-∞)), elimination half-life (T½), peak concentration (Cmax), time to reach maximum plasma concentration (Tmax), etc., were calculated by the non-compartment analysis module in Phoenix WinNonlin 7.0.





Bioavailability(F)=area under the curve AUC(0-t) in the case of PO administration×dosageIV/(area under the curve AUC(0-t) in the case of IV administration×dosagePO)×100%

Criteria for Assessment of Lesions

    • (1) Ballooning degeneration of hepatocytes: a pathological change similar to a vacuole was observed in the hepatocytes. Due to a vacuole-like change, the size of the hepatocytes was increased, and hepatocyte nuclei concentrated or deviated.
    • (2) Infiltration of inflammatory cells: A large number of aggregated inflammatory cells, mainly neutrophils and macrophages, were found around the portal vein area, abdominal vein area, or around the hepatic lobules.
    • (3) Steatosis regular round vacuoles were observed in the hepatocytes of different sizes, and the nuclei of the hepatocytes were located at the edges.


Percentage of Fibrosis


All slices stained with Sirius red were scanned by a Leica Aperio AT2 Brightfield scanner, and then a percentage of Sirius red positive staining area was calculated by the HALO AI system to evaluate the percentage area of the Sirius red in the total liver area scanned.


Results were shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.



FIG. 1 showed the results of fibrosis evaluation, where the efficacy of KH06 was dose-dependent, and they all achieved the effect of reducing the proportion of fibrosis. The efficacy of KH06 at a dosage of 1 mg/kg was better than that of MGL3196 at a dosage of 3 mg/kg.



FIG. 2 showed the results of NAS score, wherein the vertical coordinate of the NAS score was the sum of the score of steatosis, ballooning degeneration and lobular inflammation. Compared with the model group, KH06 was dose-dependent, and all achieved a significant reduction in score Meanwhile, KH06 at 1 mg/kg had the same efficacy as MGL3196 at 3 mg/kg.
