Tricyclic compounds and use thereof

[0001] The present application is a U.S. National Stage application of PCT/CN2021/078744 filed 2 Mar. 2021, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202010144417.0 filed 4 Mar. 2020 and Chinese Patent Application No. 202010464135.9 filed 27 May 2020, the entire disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.

[0002] The present disclosure relates to a class of tricyclic compounds, in particular to a compound represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

[0003] Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a lysophospholipid signaling molecule derived from a cell membrane, which mainly exerts physiological functions by stimulating some members of the G protein-coupled receptor family, mainly sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs) family At present, five different S1PR subtypes have been identified in mammals, including sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1 or EDG1), sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2 or EDGS), sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 3 (S1PR3 or EDG3), sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 4 (S1PR4 or EDG6) and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 5 (S1PR5 or EDG8). S1PR1-3 are widely expressed in various tissues, S1PR4 is mainly expressed in lymphatic system and blood system, and S1PR5 is mainly expressed in the central nervous system. Lymphocytes sense a S1P concentration gradient through S1PR1, thereby regulating the entry of lymphocytes from secondary lymphoid organs into the lymph and blood circulation. S1PR1 agonists can trigger the endocytosis of S1PR1 on the surface of lymphocytes, make the lymphocytes unable to sense the S1P concentration gradient, prevent the migration of lymphocytes to the lymph and blood circulation, trigger the homing of lymphocytes, reduce the number of lymphocytes in the peripheral circulatory system, and prevent the lymphocytes from reaching the position of inflammatory lesions or grafts, reduces excessive inflammation, and have immunomodulatory effect.

[0004] Autoimmune disease refers to a general term for a class of diseases caused by the body's immune response to autoantigen, causing the immune system to mistakenly attack its own tissues. At present, there are more than 80 kinds of autoimmune diseases that are precisely defined, and excessive inflammatory reaction is a common feature. S1PR1 agonists can effectively reduce excessive inflammation, and can be used to treat or prevent autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease (divided into Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), systemic lupus erythematosus and psoriasis, etc.

[0005] At present, the efficacy studies of S1PR1 agonists in vivo are used to treat or prevent autoimmune diseases. Fingolimod, the first-generation non-selective S1PRs agonist of Novartis, was approved by FDA for relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) in September 2010. Siponimod, the second-generation selective S1PR1 and S1PR5 agonist of Novartis, was also approved by FDA for relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) in March 2019. The discovery and application of novel S1PR agonists holds great promise.

[0039] The compounds of the present disclosure have significant or even unexpected S1PR1 agonistic activity and good bioavailability.

[0040] Unless otherwise specified, the following terms and phrases when used herein have the following meanings. A specific term or phrase should not be considered indefinite or unclear in the absence of a particular definition, but should be understood in the ordinary sense. When a trade name appears herein, it is intended to refer to its corresponding commodity or active ingredient thereof.

[0041] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” is used herein in terms of those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms, which are suitable for use in contact with human and animal tissues within the scope of reliable medical judgment, with no excessive toxicity, irritation, an allergic reaction or other problems or complications, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

[0042] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt of the compound of the present disclosure that is prepared by reacting the compound having a specific substituent of the present disclosure with a relatively non-toxic acid or base. When the compound of the present disclosure contains a relatively acidic functional group, a base addition salt can be obtained by bringing the neutral form of the compound into contact with a sufficient amount of base in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. The pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt includes a salt of sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amine or magnesium, or similar salts. When the compound of the present disclosure contains a relatively basic functional group, an acid addition salt can be obtained by bringing the neutral form of the compound into contact with a sufficient amount of acid in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. Examples of the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt include an inorganic acid salt, wherein the inorganic acid includes, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid, bicarbonate, phosphoric acid, monohydrogen phosphate, dihydrogen phosphate, sulfuric acid, hydrogen sulfate, hydroiodic acid, phosphorous acid, and the like; and an organic acid salt, wherein the organic acid includes, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid, suberic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, phthalic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, and methanesulfonic acid, and the like; and salts of amino acid (such as arginine and the like), and a salt of an organic acid such as glucuronic acid and the like. Certain specific compounds of the present disclosure contain both basic and acidic functional groups, thus can be converted to any base or acid addition salt.

[0043] The pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure can be prepared from the parent compound that contains an acidic or basic moiety by conventional chemical method. Generally, such salt can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base form of the compound with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate base or acid in water or an organic solvent or a mixture thereof.

[0044] The compounds of the present disclosure may exist in specific geometric or stereoisomeric forms. The present disclosure contemplates all such compounds, including cis and trans isomers, (−)-and (+)-enantiomers, (R)-and (S)-enantiomers, diastereomers isomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, and racemic and other mixtures thereof, such as enantiomers or diastereomeric enriched mixtures, all of which are within the scope of the present disclosure. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in substituents such as alkyl. All these isomers and their mixtures are included within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0045] The compound of the present disclosure may contain an unnatural proportion of atomic isotope at one or more than one atom(s) that constitute the compound. For example, the compound can be radiolabeled with a radioactive isotope, such as tritium (³H), iodine-125 (¹²⁵I) or C-14 (¹⁴C). For another example, deuterated drugs can be formed by replacing hydrogen with deuterium, the bond formed by deuterium and carbon is stronger than that of ordinary hydrogen and carbon, compared with non-deuterated drugs, deuterated drugs have the advantages of reduced toxic and side effects, increased drug stability, enhanced efficacy, extended biological half-life of drugs, etc. All isotopic variations of the compound of the present disclosure, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0046] The term “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequent event or condition may occur but not requisite, that the term includes the instance in which the event or condition occurs and the instance in which the event or condition does not occur.

[0047] The term “substituted” means one or more than one hydrogen atom(s) on a specific atom are substituted with the substituent, including deuterium and hydrogen variables, as long as the valence of the specific atom is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is an oxygen (i.e., ═O), it means two hydrogen atoms are substituted. Positions on an aromatic ring cannot be substituted with a ketone. The term “optionally substituted” means an atom can be substituted with a substituent or not, unless otherwise specified, the type and number of the substituent may be arbitrary as long as being chemically achievable.

[0048] When any variable (such as R) occurs in the constitution or structure of the compound more than once, the definition of the variable at each occurrence is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 0-2 R, the group can be optionally substituted with up to two R, wherein the definition of R at each occurrence is independent. Moreover, a combination of the substituent and/or the variant thereof is allowed only when the combination results in a stable compound.

[0049] When the number of a linking group is 0, such as —(CRR)₀—, it means that the linking group is a single bond.

[0050] When one of the variables is selected from a single bond, it means that the two groups linked by the single bond are connected directly. For example, when L in A-L-Z represents a single bond, the structure of A-L-Z is actually A-Z.

[0051] Unless otherwise specified, when a group has one or more linkable sites, any one or more sites of the group can be linked to other groups through chemical bonds. When the linking site of the chemical bond is not positioned, and there is H atom at the linkable site, then the number of H atom at the site will decrease correspondingly with the number of chemical bond linking thereto so as to meet the corresponding valence. The chemical bond between the site and other groups can be represented by a straight solid bond (), a straight dashed bond () or a wavy line

[0052]
For example, the straight solid bond in —OCH₃ means that it is linked to other groups through the oxygen atom in the group; the straight dashed bonds in

[0053]
means that it is linked to other groups through the two ends of nitrogen atom in the group; the wave lines in

[0054]
means that the phenyl group is linked to other groups through carbon atoms at position 1 and position 2;

[0055]
means that it can be linked to other groups through any linkable sites on the piperidinyl by one chemical bond, including at least four types of linkage, including

[0056]
Even though the H atom is drawn on the —N—,

[0057]
still includes the linkage of

[0058]
merely when one chemical bond is connected, the H of this site will be reduced by one to the corresponding monovalent piperidinyl.

[0059] Unless otherwise specified, the term “C_1-6 alkyl” refers to a linear or branched saturated hydrocarbon group consisting of 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The C_1-6 alkyl includes C_1-5, C_1-4, C_1-3, C_1-2, C_2-6, C_2-4, C₆ and C₅ alkyl and the like; it can be monovalent (such as methyl), divalent (such as methylene) or multivalent (such as methine).

Experimental Objective: To Test the Pharmacokinetics of the Compound in CD-1 Mice

Experimental Materials:

[0235] CD-1 mice (male, 20-40 g, 6-10 weeks old, Shanghai BK)

Experimental Operation:

[0236] The standard protocol was used to test the pharmacokinetic characteristics of rodents after intravenous injection and oral administration of the compound. In the experiment, the candidate compound was prepared into a clear solution, and administrated to two mice by single intravenous injection and oral administration. The vehicle for intravenous injection was a 5:95 DMSO and 10% hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin aqueous solution, and the vehicle for oral administration was a 0.5% w/v methylcellulose and 0.2% w/v tween 80 aqueous solution. Whole blood samples within 24 hours were collected, centrifuged at 3200 g for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was separated to obtain plasma samples. Four times the volume of acetonitrile solution containing internal standard was added thereto to precipitate protein. The mixture was centrifuged, and the supernatant was taken, and an equal volume of water was added thereto. Then the mixture was centrifuged and the supernatant was taken for injection. The blood drug concentration was quantitatively analyzed by LC-MS/MS analysis method, and pharmacokinetic parameters, such as peak concentration, tissue distribution, clearance rate, half-life, area under the drug-time curve and bioavailability, were calculated.
