Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a peptide amide compound having an analgesic effect, a preparation method thereof and use in medicine.

BACKGROUND

Opioid drugs have been used for the treatment of pain for thousands of years and play a physiological role primarily by binding to the known three classical opioid receptors μ, δ and κ. These three receptors are members of the G-protein coupled receptor family, mainly distributed in the central nervous system, and also in many peripheral tissues. One of the most classic drugs is morphine, which exerts an analgesic effect mainly through the action of μ opioid receptors.

In addition, commonly used clinical analgesics include other μ opioid receptor drugs, such as traditional opioids represented by dihydromorphinone and fentanyl.

However, μ opioid receptor drugs produce a variety of side effects after long-term use, such as tolerance, dependence and respiratory depression, and effects on gastrointestinal motility, which not only increases the cost of treatment, but also affects the cycle for patient to recover. Some non-opioid injections, such as acetaminophen and NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), have limited use and dosage due to their poor analgesic effect. In addition, they have certain side effects, such as acetaminophen increases liver toxicity, and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) cause various gastrointestinal diseases.

With the increasing pressure of life and work in modern society and the arrival of the elderly society, and in view of the critical role of the opioid receptors for the treatment of different types of pain, the search for new opioids with high analgesic activity and low toxic side effects has important scientific and social significance.

Studies have found that by using K opioid receptor agonists, K opioid receptors can be used as targets for intervention to treat pain and prevent a wide variety of diseases and conditions. For example, in 1993, Woold et al. described the use of κ opioid receptor agonists for the treatment of pain sensitization (Anasthesia and Analgesia, 1993, 77, 362-379); in 1999, Wu et al. proposed κ opioid receptor agonists as targets for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (Circulation Res 1999, 84, 1388-1395); in 2003, Kaushik et al. described the neuroprotective effects of κ opioid receptor agonists (J. Postgraduate Medicine 2003, 49 (1), 90-95); in 2004, Potter et al. described the use of κ opioid receptor agonists in ocular disorders and ocular pain (Pharmacol. Exp. Ther 2004, 209, 548-553); in 2005, Wikstrom et al. described the use of κ agonists in the treatment of uremia and opium-induced pruritus (J. Am. Soc. Nephrol 2005, 16, 3742-3747.); in 2006, Bileviciute-Ljungar et al. evaluated the properties of κ opioid receptor agonists for inflammatory diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (Rheumatology 2006, 45, 295-302); in 2006, Lembo evaluated the use of κ opioid receptor agonists in gastrointestinal diseases (Diges. Dis. 2006,24, 91-98); in 2006, Jolivalt et al. described the role of the κ opioid receptor agonist acimadrine in rodent diabetic neuropathy (Diabetologia 2006, 49 (11), 2775-2785); in 2008, Schteingart, Claudio, D et al. from Cara Therapeutics Co., Ltd. evaluated the effects of κ opioid receptor agonists on visceral pain, pH-sensitive nociceptor activation-related pain, and capsaicin-induced eye pain in WO2008057608A2.

Biological Test Examples

Test 1: Agonist Activity on Human κ-Opioid Receptors

Forskolin can stimulate the release of cAMP from a human κ-opioid receptor-overexpressing cell line, OPRK1 cells (DiscoveRx), and κ-opioid receptor agonists can inhibit the cAMP release stimulated by forskolin. By detecting the inhibitory effect of the test compound on the cAMP release stimulated by forskolin, the agonistic activity of the compound on the human κ-opioid receptor can be determined. First, a certain concentration of forskolin and different concentrations of the test compound were incubated with human κ-opioid receptor overexpressing cell lines. A cAMP immunoassay (LANCE®, PerkinElmer) based on time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) was used to determine cAMP levels in the stimulated OPRK1 cells. The specific method is as follows:

OPRK1 cells (DiscoveRx) that highly express human κ-opioid receptors were cultured in McCoy's 5A (Gibco 16600-082) medium containing 10% FBS (Gibco 10099-141). On the day of the experiment, the cells in the exponential growth phase were washed and separated with PBS/5 mM EDTA, collected by centrifugation, resuspended with Stimulation Buffer and counted. The concentration of cells was adjusted to 3*10⁵ cells/ml. DMSO was used to dissolve Forskolin and the test compound respectively, so that the mother liquor concentration each was 10 mM, and then diluted Forskolin to 4 M with Stimulation Buffer, and different concentrations of the test compound (the concentrations were 80, 16, 3.2, 0.64, 0.128, 0.0256, 0.00512, 0.001024, 0 μM) was added, 5 μl per well was added to a 384-well plate. 5 μl of cell suspension was added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 30 min. Subsequently, 5 μl of 4×Eu-cAMP tracer working solution (50-fold dilution of Eu-cAMP stock solution with cAMP Detection Buffer) and 5 μl of 4×Ulight-anti-cAMP working solution (150-fold dilution of ULight-anti-cAMP stock solution with cAMP Detection Buffer) were added to each well, and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. 384-well plates were assayed for cAMP levels using a microplate reader (Perkin Elmer, Envision) TR-FRET method. The obtained data were processed and fitted to EC50 using the origin 7.5 software. The human κ-opioid receptor agonistic activity of the compound of the present invention was measured through the above experiments, and the measured EC50 values are shown in Table 1.

Stimulation Buffer preparation method: 14 mL 1*HBSS (invitrogen, cat. #14025-092), 75 μL 1 M HEPES (Invitrogen, cat. #15630-080), 30 μL 250 mM IBMX was dissolved in DMSO (Sigma, cat. #17018) and mixed with 200 μL 7.5% BSA Stabilizer. pH of the solution was adjusted to 7.4 with 0.1 N NaOH and make up to 15 mL with 1*HBSS.

Test 2: Mouse Hot Plate Experiment

18-22 g of female C57 mice were purchased from Chengdu Dashuo Experimental Animal Co., Ltd. The temperature of the hot plate instrument was set to 56° C., and after reaching 56° C., the temperature was stabilized for 30 minutes before experiment. The animals were placed in a hot plate test in order to observe the reaction of licking the hind feet, which was used as an indicator of pain response. The time from the entry of the animal to the hot plate to the heat-induced licking of the hind feet was recorded. Animals that meet the inclusion criteria (response time to lick the hind foot is less than 25s) are included in the group number. The animals were grouped by baseline threshold, with 10 in each group. Compounds of different concentrations were administered subcutaneously at 10 ml/kg, and a detection was carried out after 15 minutes of administration, with 30 seconds as the cut-off time, and the reaction time was recorded. The results were analyzed statistically, and the % MPE value was calculated according to the formula: % MPE=(T_n−T₀)/(30−T₀), (T_n is the time for the animal to lick the hind foot after administration, T₀ is the time for the animal to lick the foot before administration) The experimental results are shown in Table 2.

Test 3: Mouse Writhing Experiment

Intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid in mice can cause writhing in mice. Writhing response refers to mice that exhibit typical behavioral responses that are characteristic of contraction or extension of abdominal muscles. The analgesic activity of the compound can be reflected by detecting the inhibitory effect of the compound on the writhing behavior of mice caused by acetic acid. The specific method is as follows:

8-week-old ICR mice (purchased from Chengdu Dashuo Biotechnology Company, license number: SCXK (Sichuan) 2008-24 (NO: 51203500002150)). Mice were randomly divided into groups of 10 animals, half male and half female; fasting but freely accessible to water for 12 h before the experiment. On the day of the experiment, 1.0 mg/kg of the test compound was administered intravenously, and the control group was given a blank reagent. 15 minutes after the administration, a 0.6% (v/v) acetic acid solution was intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 0.4 mL/mouse. The number of mouse writhing in 15 min and 6 h after acetic acid injection was recorded respectively, and the percentage inhibition to acetic acid-caused writhing in mice by the compound was calculated respectively. The analysis results are shown in Table 3.

Percent inhibition %=(number of writhing in the control group−number of writhing in the administration group)/number of writhing in the control group.
