Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, in particular to a piperidine derivative, and a pharmaceutical composition, a preparation method and use thereof.


BACKGROUND

Pain is the most common physical sensation in people's daily life, affecting even more people than diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancers combined. The pathogenesis of pain is diverse, and it accompanies almost all diseases. There is a huge clinical need for anti-inflammatory analgesia. At present, opioid analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) dominate the market of pain treatment and are widely used in areas such as surgical analgesia, advanced cancer analgesia and long-term chronic pain. Opioid analgesics are the main therapeutic drugs for moderate to severe pain in clinical practice, as they take effect quickly, have strong analgesic effect, etc. However, the side effects such as addiction, respiratory depression, constipation, tolerance, and itching limit the use, which also bring forth social problems such as drug dependence and death from abuse. It is a very urgent social need to study and develop a safe and effective analgesic drug without side effects.


For many years, scientists have been trying to find new analgesics for clinical selection, which have the analgesic effect of opioids without their side effects. Medicinal chemists have used a variety of strategies to develop safe and effective drugs to treat pain and opioid addiction. Many new target mechanisms have been discovered and applied to the research and development of novel analgesics. Numerous studies have shown that the analgesic effect of μ-receptor agonists is mediated through activation of Gi signals, whereas side effects such as addiction, respiratory depression, and constipation are regulated by downstream β-arrestin signaling pathway. Therefore, G protein-biased μ-opioid receptor agonists have been an important direction of research in this field in recent years. Biased agonists of μ-receptors, which selectively activate Gi pathway without affecting β-arrestin signaling pathway, provide possibility of developing desirable opioid drugs.


WO2017/161017A1 discloses a class of G protein-biased MOP receptor agonists of benzimidazolone piperidine compounds, which exhibit good analgesic activity in rodent analgesic models, with less associated side effects than morphine. However, the compounds themselves may have deficiencies in terms of druggability, and no further entry into clinical studies has been reported.


Selective KOP receptor agonists and DOP receptor agonists have their own side effects, although they have no side effects mediated by MOP receptor agonists. KOP receptor agonists may mediate the production of side effects such as restlessness, sedation, and polyuria, but they have also been found to be able to reduce the rewarding effect of addictive drugs, and therefore have the potential to be developed as analgesics which overcome opioid dependence. After being activated by agonists, DOP receptors will produce convulsive effect, but also show good analgesic effect on chronic pain. Compared with MOP receptor agonists, after being agonized, DOP receptors are not physiologically dependent and are less abuse-dependent, and they also have anti-anxiety and anti-depression effects. However, up to now, ligand compounds of selective KOP receptors or DOP receptors have not been successfully developed in clinical practice because of their limited analgesic efficacy.


The analgesic effect mediated by NOP receptors is much more complex than that of other opioid receptor family members. The nociceptin/orphanin FQ-NOP receptor system not only inhibits opioid receptor-mediated analgesic effect, but also mediates analgesic effect by reducing hyperalgesia. Studies have shown that NOP receptor agonists have analgesic effect and the effect of regulating addiction caused by MOP agonists, and it is found in non-human primate tests that selective NOP agonists do not cause respiratory depression and potential addiction. RO 64-6198, the first reported small molecule NOP receptor selective agonist, was developed by Roche and exhibited good analgesic effect in non-human primate models and rodent model experiments, without classical opioid-mediated side effects. Schering discloses in WO01/07050A1 a class of piperidinyl-derived compounds that are used as NOP receptor (ORL-1 receptor) agonists for the treatment of cough. Due to the close interaction between nociceptin/orphanin FQ receptors and classical opioid receptors, in recent years, people's attention has gradually shifted to the study of ligand compounds that act simultaneously on double targets.


BU08028 is an analog of buprenorphine. This molecule has relatively high affinity for all four typical kinds of opioid receptors. Results of in vitro experiments have shown that BU08028 is a partial agonist of MOP/NOP receptor, and compared with buprenorphine, BU08028 has higher biological activity for NOP receptor; and in in vivo experiments in non-human primates, compared with buprenorphine and remifentanil, BU08028 shows very high analgesic and anti-anxiety effects, with lower addiction, and more importantly, it does not show remarkable physiological dependence. Nalorphine is a kind of opioids with bifunctional effects of MOP receptor antagonist and KOP receptor agonist, which can inhibit the effect of morphine in vivo and show analgesic activity. Bifunctional molecules with high activity for KOP receptors and low or moderate activity for MOP receptors are less addictive than MOP receptor agonists alone, but they have the side effects of making the patients irritable and being hallucinogenic. Cebranopadol is a MOP/NOP receptor bifunctional agonist. Preclinical data show that Cebranopadol also has partial agonist activity for KOP receptors. Cebranopadol has recently been reported to show reduced tolerance, physiological dependence, and respiratory depression compared with morphine. Patent WO2017/096323A1 discloses AT-121, which is a kind of piperidinyl spirocyclic compound with high affinity for both MOP and NOP receptors, and is a partial agonist of the two receptors. In non-human primate experiments, this molecule shows good analgesic and reinforcing effect of inhibitory efficacy, and has no side effects such as respiratory depression, opioid-induced hypersensitivity and drug dependence.


As can be seen from the existing reports, different opioid receptors have their own pharmacological functional characteristics, and the molecules with bifunctional or multifunctional effects on opioid receptors show unique pharmacological effects. While producing good analgesic efficacy, they can effectively reduce the side effects of traditional opioids such as morphine, such as respiratory depression, constipation, tolerance, addiction, etc., have anti-depression and anti-anxiety effects, and are potentially effective in the treatment of alcohol addiction. However, at present, they are all in the early stage of research, with few successes. On the other hand, there is an urgent social need for analgesic drugs without side effects. Therefore, there is a necessity to conduct more extensive research in the field of new analgesic drugs with multifunctional or bifunctional opioid receptor effects.

The reaction system was 500 μL, and 100 μL of working solution and 5 μL of solution of the compounds (1% DMSO, 99% water) were added to a 96-well deep-well plate, and shaken well (5 min, 500 rpm). 299 μL of reaction solution containing 1 μL CHO-K1 MOP receptor cell membrane (PerkinElmer) (or HEK293-NOP receptor cell membrane, or CHO-K1 DOP receptor cell membrane, PerkinElmer) was added to each well (298 μL of reaction solution containing 2 μL CHO-K1 KOP receptor cell membrane, PerkinElmer, was added in KOP receptor test) and shaken well (5 min, 500 rpm). 100 μL of deuterated ligand was added to each well: [3H]-DAMGO (PerkinElmer) (Fianl conc. 1 nM) (MOP receptor), [3H]-Nociceptin (PerkinElmer) (Fianl conc. 0.5 nM) (NOP receptor), [3H]-U69593 (PerkinElmer) (Fianl conc. 1.5 nM) (KOP receptor), [3H]-DADLE (PerkinElmer) (Fianl conc. 1 nM) (DOP receptor), and shaken well (5 min, 500 rpm). The plate was subjected to incubation at 27° C. for 1 hour. UNIFILTER-96 GF/C filter plate (0.5% PEI) was pre-incubated at 4° C. for 1 hour. The UNIFILTER-96 GF/C filter plate (0.5% PEI) was washed twice (per well) with 1 mL of washing buffer. The mixture solution containing cell membrane was transferred to the UNIFILTER-96 GF/C filter plate (0.5% PEI), which was washed four times with washing buffer, 50 mL each time, followed by drying (55° C., 10 minutes). Then, 40 μL of scintillation cocktail was added to each well, and scintillation counts were read using TopCount to determine the radioactivity bound to the membrane.


Each test compound was tested for binding rate (% Inhibition) at 10 concentrations, its IC50 (the concentration at which 50% of binding is inhibited) was determined by the graph in which the X axis is logarithm of concentration and the Y axis is response count, and the data was processed using Xl-fit 5.3.1 software.

In the present application, the compounds represented by EX3, EX6, EX16, EX17, EX54, EX58, and EX67 show high selectivity and high affinity for MOP receptor and KOP receptor, and such bifunctional agonists, which act on both MOP receptor and KOP receptor, have been reported in existing literatures, to have the potential to reduce the side effects of single-selective MOP receptor agonists, such as addiction, and balance the side effects such as irritability and aversion produced by single-selective KOP receptor agonists through the euphoriant effect produced by agonizing MOP receptor, making it possible to achieve good analgesic effect with fewer side effects; and the compounds represented by EX12B and EX48B show high selectivity and high affinity for MOP receptor and NOP receptor, and such MOPr/NOPr bifunctional agonists can enhance the analgesic effect caused by activating MOP receptor and inhibit dopamine release to reduce addiction, by agonizing NOP receptor, making it possible to develop novel analgesic drugs without addiction.


Test of Agonistic Function of Compounds for MOP Receptor, NOP Receptor (ORL-1 Receptor), KOP Receptor, and DOP Receptor (cAMP Assay):


Opioid receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor, which is mainly coupled with Gi protein. When it is bound to a ligand to be activated, it can inhibit adenylate cyclase activity via Gi protein, thereby reducing intracellular cAMP level.


A cAMP kit (LANCE Ultra cAMP kit, PE) was used to test the agonistic or inhibitory effects of the compounds on four opioid receptors (MOPr, KOPr, DOPr, and NOPr (ORL-1)). cAMP assay is a competitive immunoassay to detect intracellular cAMP accumulation, and the measured signal value is negatively correlated with the concentration of cAMP.


A standard was prepared according to the instructions of the kit. A 384-well cell culture plate was used, and each well was added with 5 μL standard, 5 μL experimental buffer, 5 μL 4×Eu-cAMP tracer working solution, and 5 μL 4×ULight-anti-cAMP working solution. The plate was incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Readings were taken with microplate reader. The excitation wavelength was 330 nm, and the emission wavelengths were 620 nm and 665 nm. The signal ratio of 665 nm to 620 nm was calculated, and a standard curve was made by the ratio and cAMP concentration.


Cell lines (CHO-hMOPr, CHO-hNOPr, HEK293-hKOPr, HEK293-hDOPr) of opioid receptors expressed in a stable transfected manner, cells were digested, centrifuged, re-suspended in an experimental buffer containing 0.5 mM IBMX, counted, and inoculated into a 384-well cell culture plate at a density of 5 μl, about 3000 cells, per well. The compound was diluted with experimental buffer to prepare 4× solution, and 4× compound was added at 2.5 μl per well, and incubated at 37° C. for 10 min. 2.5 μl 4×Forskolin was further added, followed by incubation at 37° C. for 30 min. Then 5 μl 4×Eu-cAMP tracer working solution and 5 μl 4×ULight-anti-cAMP working solution were added sequentially, and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Readings were taken with microplate reader. The excitation wavelength was 330 nm, and the emission wavelengths were 620 nm and 665 nm. The signal ratio of 665 nm to 620 nm, i.e., Ratio (665/620), was calculated.


Endomorphin 1 was selected for MOPr positive compound, Nociceptin for NOPr (ORL-1) positive compound, Dynorphin A 1-10 for KOPr positive compound, and DADLE for DOPr positive compound. The test compound was detected starting from the concentration of 10 μM, in 3-fold dilution, with 10 concentrations, and in a manner of double double-well detection.


The graph was made by Ratio (665/620) and the concentration of compounds, and curve fitting and EC50 calculation were performed using the GraphPad Prism 8.0 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, California USA) software nonlinear regression method.

The results of the testing of cAMP agonistic function of preferred compounds showed that the compounds that were bi-selective for MOP receptor and KOP receptor also showed good agonistic bioactivity for MOP receptor and KOP receptor, and were bifunctional agonists for MOP receptor/KOP receptor. Similarly, the compounds that were bi-selective for MOP receptor and NOP receptor also have good agonistic bioactivity for the two opioid receptors.


Pharmacodynamic Test in Animals-Formalin-Induced Inflammatory Pain Models

The animal models of formalin-induced inflammatory pain were established by Dubuisson and Dennis in 1977. It has been experimentally verified over time that injecting formalin diluted by a certain multiple subcutaneously into the hindfoot paw of rats using a microsyringe can create a sustained injurious stimulus that results in a spontaneous behavioral response of pain in the animals.


Experimental animals: SPF grade male SD rats, 6-7 weeks old, body weight ranged from 160 g to 180 g; using as few animals as possible on the premise of meeting research purposes and scientific standards.

    • Experimental method: 1. before the start of the experiment, all animals were reared adaptively in the animal feeding room for one week to adapt to the environment. The room temperature was kept at 22±2° C., the room was illuminated with light, and strong sound and light stimulation were avoided. The rats were randomly grouped according to the needs of the experiment, 6-8 rats in each group, and numbered. All the test experiments were conducted between 8 am and 12 am. In order to adapt the rats to the formalin test environment, separate groups of rats were placed in experimental test boxes (transparent and visible) for 60 min per day for 3 days.
    • 2. Reagent preparation. The analytically pure formaldehyde aqueous solution was prepared into a 2% formalin solution in a sealed vial for later use (after use, it was placed in 4° C. refrigerator).
    • 3. Preparation of test compound solution. The solvent system was 5% DMSO+10% Solutol+85% saline, and the concentration actually needed was prepared in situ according to the test experimental requirements.
    • 4. Administration mode and modeling. The administration mode in this experiment was subcutaneous injection. Animals were reared in the experimental environment until day 6 when the experiment was carried out, and the body weight of the rats, room temperature, humidity, and routine control parameters were recorded. The rats were administered with drugs according to their body weight. 15 min after administration, 50 μl of 2% formalin solution was subcutaneously injected into the dorsum of the foot of rats for modeling.
    • 5. Evaluation of the models. After formalin injection, the rats were placed in a test box, and the number of movements (the number of foot lifts and licks of the injected foot) of the rats within 60 min after formalin injection, including the number of foot lifts in the early acute phase (Phase I) and the late stressful phase (Phase II) (Phase I (0-9 min), Phase 11(10-60 min)), and the average cumulative number of foot lifts, were counted by computer.

Data Statistics and Analysis:

The measurement data was expressed by mean±standard deviation, all data statistics were carried out by SPSS13.0 statistical software, all data were subjected to homogeneity test for variance, data with homogeneity of variance (p>0.05) were subjected to one-way analysis of variance, and data with differences (p≤0.05) were subjected to LSD multiple comparative analysis, with p≤0.05 meaning having statistically significant differences; data with heterogeneity of variance (p≤0.05) were subjected to Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test, data differences (p≤0.05) were subjected to Mann-Whitney pairwise analysis and comparison, with p≤0.05 meaning having statistically significant differences. Graph was made using GraphPad Prism 8.0 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, California USA) software.


As can be seen from the time-effect curve (FIG. TA), the time-effect curve of EX3, at a dose of 10 mg/kg, within the 0-40 min time interval substantially coincides with the effect curve of the morphine group (mor), and then the time-effect curve gradually approaches that of the model group (model), which suggests that compound EX3 (10 mg/kg) has good analgesic effect within the 0-40 min time interval, comparable to the analgesic effect of morphine (3 mg/kg). As can be seen from the maximum possible analgesic effect curve (FIG. 1B) of statistical analysis, compared with the control group (sham) (100±3.3%), the model group is significantly lower than its mean value, the maximum possible effect is 0±18.33%, and the maximum possible analgesic effect value of the 10 mg/kg dose group of compound EX3 is 94.04±5.81%, significantly higher than that of the model control group (p<0.05). The above experimental results show that compound EX3 has good inhibitory effect on formalin-induced inflammatory pain.


Pharmacodynamic Test in Animals-Spared Nerve Injury Models

Spared Nerve Injury (SNI) animal models are developed to study the pharmacological mechanism of neuropathic pain. The model is established by artificial surgery, which can produce sustained and regenerative pain hypersensitivity on the surgical side to simulate typical symptoms of clinical neuropathic pain disorders. Creation of SNI models: on Day 0 of the experiment, the rat was anesthetized with an anesthesia machine fed with isoflurane, and fixed prone on the operating table, with the lateral gluteal region fully exposed, the left hind limb was shaved and sterilized with alcohol wipe, the skin was cut using surgical scissors in the femur in a direction parallel to the sciatic nerve, the gluteal muscles and biceps femoris muscle were bluntly separated to expose the sciatic nerve trunk, and the surrounding adhesion tissues and fascia were carefully separated. This proceeded until three branches were exposed, i.e., tibial nerve, common peroneal nerve, and sural nerve. For the rats in the surgery group, the tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve were ligated with silk thread, the tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve were cut off respectively, the sural nerve was ensured to be intact, and the muscles and epidermis were sutured layer by layer. After surgery, 60,000 units of penicillin were injected subcutaneously into each rat. The rats were reared in cages, and the administration experiment was carried out on Day 10 after operation. Main test indexes and method: body weight, all animals were weighed once a week and the weights were recorded in detail; measurement of mechanical pain threshold, the animals were placed in a customized multi-unit metal mesh cage for pain testing, the animals were allowed to acclimatize for 10 min, after the animals' grooming and exploratory activities were completed and they acclimatized to the testing environment, electronic Von Frey Hairs (produced by Bioseb, France) were used to stimulate the paw on the pinkie side of the hind limb on the SNI surgical side of the rats, pressure was continuously increased until the rats showed an obvious foot contraction response, the value of Von Frey Hairs at this time was recorded, which was the threshold of mechanical pain response, taking “grams” as the test unit, the test was repeated twice, and then the mean value was taken as the final test index; foot weight-bearing measurement, the weights borne by the two hind limb feet of the rats in the SNI model group were unbalanced, a foot support force measuring instrument (Dynamic Weight Bearing Test, BIO-DWB-DUAL, BIOSEB) was used to measure the weight bearing difference (left foot-right foot) between the two hind limb feet of the animals, measurement was repeated twice, and the mean value was taken as the balance value of the weight bearing difference between the two hind limb feet of the animals. The time points for the mechanical pain threshold and foot weight-bearing testing were before modeling, before administration, and 1, 2, and 4 hours after administration, a total of 5 test points. In the experiment of the present application, rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (8 rats per group) according to the body weight of the animals, and the mechanical pain threshold and base value of foot weight bearing before administration, which were solvent control group (5% DMSO+10% Solutol HS15+85% normal saline), positive control group (Gabapentin, 100 mg/kg, the dose was calculated through conversion based on clinical dose of Gabapentin), and test compound high, medium, and low dose groups (10, 3, and 1 mg/kg). The positive control group was administered orally, which was the same as the administration in clinical practice, the other experimental groups were all administered by subcutaneous injection into the abdomen, and all experimental groups were administered in a single dose. The experimental results were reported by mechanical pain threshold Von Frey Hairs and foot weight bearing difference, and the corresponding analgesic rates were calculated. Relative analgesic rate (%) of Von Frey Hairs=(test value−mean value of control group)/(SNI preoperative base value−mean value of control group)×100; and relative analgesic rate (%) of foot weight bearing=(mean value of control group−test value)/(mean value of control group−SNI preoperative base value)×100. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8.0 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, California USA), and graph was made.


As could be seen from the experimental results (A and C in FIG. 2), the results of Von Frey Hairs test 1 h after administration showed that all three doses of compound EX3 could improve the mechanical pain threshold of the animals to a certain extent, especially the medium dose and the high dose, which were significantly different from the model group (p<0.01), the measured mechanical pain thresholds of the rats in the medium dose group and the high dose group were 7.0±0.1 g and 9.5±0.2 g, respectively, the mean values of relative analgesic rates of Von Frey Hairs were 12.93% and 49.02%, respectively, and the analgesic effect of the high dose group was better than that of the positive control group (Gabapentin, 100 mg/kg, the relative analgesic mean value of Von Frey Hairs was 29.71%). As time progressed, the mechanical pain thresholds of the rats in the test drug groups all decreased in the second hour, but all of them were highly significantly different from the model group (p<0.01), the mechanical pain threshold of the rats in the compound EX3 high dose (10 mg/kg) group was 8.3±0.1 g, and the mean value of relative analgesic rate of Von Frey Hairs was 33.99%, which was close to that of the positive control group (the mean value of relative analgesic rate of Von Frey Hairs in the positive control group was 36.26%).


The weights borne by the two hind feet of SNI model rats were unbalanced. In order to further verify the analgesic effect of compound EX3 for SNI neuropathic pain in rats, the weight bearing difference (left foot-right foot) of two hind feet of the animals was measured in this experiment, and the mean value was taken as the balance value of the weight bearing difference of two hind feet of the animals. The test time points were the same as those in Von Frey Hairs test. As could be seen from the experimental results (B and D in FIG. 2), the balance value of foot weight bearing difference in the animals in the model group was increased significantly after modeling, which was 59.87±1.60 g (3.88±0.56 g before operation). Under the action of drugs, the balance value of weight bearing difference between the hind feet of the rats was decreased significantly, which was most obvious at the time point of the first hour, there were highly significant differences between each experimental group and model group (p<0.01), in the compound EX3 high dose group (10 mg/kg), the balance value of weight bearing difference between the hind feet of the rats was 46.82±1.68 g, and the mean value of relative analgesic rate of foot weight bearing was 22.11%, which was similar to that of the positive control Gabapentin group (the mean value of relative analgesic rate of foot weight bearing in the rats in the positive control group was 20.85%). As time progressed, the analgesic effect of drugs gradually weakened, but was still significantly different from that in the model group (p<0.01), in the second hour, the relative analgesic rate of foot weight bearing in the compound EX3 medium and low dose groups was still maintained at about 10%, the balance value of the weight bearing difference between the hind feet of the rats in the high dose group (10 mg/kg) was 46.54±0.80 g, the mean value of relative analgesic rate of foot weight bearing was 20.03%, which was still maintained at a high level, slightly better than that in the positive control group (the mean value of relative analgesic rate of foot weight bearing was 17.55%), and in the fourth hour, the balance value of the weight bearing difference between the hind feet of the rats in the compound EX3 high dose group was still significantly different from that in the model group (p<0.01), and the mean value of relative analgesic rate of foot weight bearing was 15.38%, which was slightly better than that in the positive control group (the mean value of relative analgesic rate of foot weight bearing was 14.07%).


From the evaluation of SNI neuropathic pain models, it could be seen that compound EX3 could effectively inhibit neuropathic pain in rats, and had good dose dependence, and the analgesic effect was consistent with the metabolic cycle of the drug, and the drug exerted its maximum efficacy in the first hour. Compared with the positive control Gabapentin (100 mg/kg), the high dose group (10 mg/kg) had certain analgesic advantages, had a longer duration of action, and still had good analgesic effect in the fourth hour. Compound EX3 exhibited superior analgesic effect to the positive control Gabapentin at a low dose.


The above results show that the compounds shown in the present application are bi-selective for MOP receptor and KOP receptor, and exert good analgesic effect through this bifunctional action on MOP receptor and KOP receptor, and the inhibition for neuropathic pain is especially far superior to that of the clinical drug Gabapentin.
