TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of medicines, and particularly relates to a ROCK inhibitor, and a preparation method therefore and use thereof.


BACKGROUND

Idiopathic interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and diffuse pulmonary interstitial disease with unknown cause and its pathological change is common interstitial pneumonia, and it mainly shows manifestation of common interstitial pneumonia according to histopathology and imageology examinations. The disease condition progresses irreversibly due to the complex pathogenesis of the disease, and early diagnosis is difficult; the survival rate of patients diagnosed with the disease is remarkably decreased over time, and the 3-year survival rate is 50%, and the 5-year survival rate is only 20%, which is lower than that of most cancers (such as leukemia, breast cancer, colon cancer, uterine tumor and renal cancer), and therefore the disease is called “non-cancerous cancer”. At present, there is no definitely significantly effective therapeutic drug for IPF. According to the results of randomized control clinical trials in recent years and the actual clinical conditions in China, drugs such as pirfenidone and nintedanib can be used as appropriate. Only IPF patients with mild to moderate pulmonary dysfunction are recommended to be treated by nintedanib, while whether IPF patients with severe pulmonary dysfunction can benefit from treatment by nintedanib and the course of treatment still need to be further discussed.


Rho GTPase was discovered in 1985, and it belongs to the Ras superfamily and has 25% homology to Ras. At present, Rho GTPase members found in mammalian tissue cells are mainly Rho (A, B, C), Rac (1, 2, 3), Cdc42 (Cdc42Hs/G25K, TC10, Tcl), Rho D, Rho G, Chp (1, 2), Rnd (Rho E/Rnd3, Rnd1/Rho6, Rnd2/Rho7), Rho H/TTF, Rif, Wrch1 and Rho BTB (1, 2), where Rho (A, B, C) is one of the most important members of Rho GTPase. Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK), also called Rho-associated kinase, belongs to serine/threonine protein kinase, and it has a molecular mass of about 160 kD and is a Rho downstream effector molecule which is studied most detailedly in terms of functional study at present. ROCK includes ROCK1 (ROKβ, p160-ROCK) and ROCK2 (ROKα) subtypes. The amino acid sequences of the two subtypes are 65% identical, with a high degree of similarity (92% identity) in the kinase domain. ROCK is distributed throughout the body, and in comparison, ROCK1 is more highly expressed in non-neural tissues (blood, small intestine, thymus, etc.), while ROCK2 is more highly expressed in brain, heart and colon.


ROCK is involved in occurrence of various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, ischemic stroke, heart disease, diabetic nephropathy, ocular diseases, tumors, nerve injury diseases, radiation damage, autoimmune diseases and the like. For example, the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway is involved in NAD(P)H oxidase activation and induces oxidative stress, inducing cardiac microvascular damage and C-reactive protein-induced atherothrombosis; high glucose can activate Rho/ROCK pathway, induce the expression of visceral adipokine and type I procollagen in cardioblast, and cause the hyperproliferation of cardioblast and thus induce diabetic cardiomyopathy; activation of Rho/ROCK signaling pathway can regulate NF-κB signaling pathway, up-regulate inflammatory genes and induce the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy; Rho/ROCK signaling pathway changes biofilm permeability and affects metastasis of cancer cells; in the case of spinal cord injury, Rho is activated, inducing atrophy of growth cones and thereby causing axonal regeneration disorder and simultaneously inducing inhibition against neuron growth by chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan.


In addition, the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway is involved in the occurrence and progression of fibrosis diseases. Activation of Rho/ROCK signaling pathway can increase the level of ischemic myocardial fibrosis, and heart tissues of an acute myocardial fibrosis rat show significantly increased Rho and ROCK expression. Activation of Rho/ROCK signaling pathway can induce phosphorylation of actin, initiating cellular fibrosis. Both in vivo and in vitro experimental results demonstrate that cardiopulmonary physiological and pathological damage caused by exposure to radiation over a period of time is associated with fibrosis induced with the involvement of Rho/ROCK pathway. Formation of endothelial adhesion fibronectin and focal adhesion, decreased endothelial cell migration and endothelial dysfunction due to ionizing radiation are associated with actin scaffold reorganization and stress fiber formation induced by activation of Rho/ROCK signaling pathway.


With respect to lung injury by IPF, primarily alveolar epithelial cells (ACEs) are the targets, and the death of ACEs triggers wound healing responses including innate immune activation, vascular leakage and extravascular coagulation, fibroblast recruitment, proliferation and activation, synthesis and cross-linking of extracellular matrix, alveolar collapse and epithelial regeneration. ROCK signals can fundamentally regulate the activities of these cells involved in the healing response, particularly those of epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. The key role of ROCK in these responses further suggests the potential of ROCK inhibitors for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.


Currently, no drugs that treat numerous disorders including fibrosis through inhibition of ROCK are available on the market. The development of new medicaments requires careful optimization of the chemical and biological properties of the lead compounds. Further, the compounds must have desired pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. This laborious development process typically requires extensive experimentation. In many cases, the process of determining the optimal compound often requires the preparation of thousands of structurally similar compounds. Therefore, the development of a novel backbone compound having inhibitory effect on ROCK1 and/or ROCK2 kinases by improving a ROCK kinase inhibitor is of positive significance for the treatment of the above-mentioned diseases.

Meanwhile, it is also found that the compounds disclosed herein have relatively low cytotoxicity and good pharmacokinetic property, and experiments also show that the compounds disclosed herein have relatively proper metabolic stability and are promising in druggability.


1. In Vitro Evaluation of ROCK2 Kinase Activity

ROCK2 activity screening. ROCK2 activity was detected using a 96-well (Cisbio) time-resolved fluorometric assay. The assay for ROCK2 was performed in the following assay buffer: 5 mM MgCl2 (Sigma), 1 mM DTT (Sigma) and 1× kinase buffer. The kinase buffer was used for dilution. 7.5 μL of ROCK2 kinase (Invitrogen, PV3759) was added to a 96-well microplate to reach a final concentration of 0.4 ng/μL, and then 0.25 μL of test compound (DMSO content: 1% (volume fraction)) was added. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 0.5 h. To start the reaction, the kinase buffer was used to mix ATP (Aladdin) and the substrate STK-substrate 2-biotin. 7.5 μL of the mixed solution was added to the microplate to reach final concentrations of 6.739 μM and 1 μM.
