FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention belongs to the field of drug synthesis, and specifically relates to a four-membered ring derivative inhibitor, a method for preparing the same, and a use thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Dopamine D3 receptor is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family, and is a subtype of the dopamine receptor. It belongs to D2-like inhibitory receptor along with dopamine D2 and D4 receptors. Upon binding to DA, it reduces cAMP level by inhibiting G-protein. D3 receptors are mainly distributed in the mesolimbic system, especially the nucleus accumbens, olfactory tubercle and calleja's islets which are not related to motor function. Highly active D3 receptor modulators may have good anti-schizophrenia activity. D3 receptor is closely related to mood, cognition, spirit, addiction, etc., and can improve the negative symptoms of schizophrenia patients. D3 receptor may play a regulatory role in cognition by regulating the release of acetylcholine and regulating glutamate receptor. Partial agonism of the D3 receptor can improve cognition.
5-Hydroxytryptamine 2A (5-HT2A) receptor is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family, and is a major excitatory receptor subtype of the 5-HT receptor. They are distributed in the center and periphery, and are closely related to spirit, emotion, learning, memory, etc. Highly active 5-HT2A receptor inhibitors have significant anti-schizophrenia effects, and can reduce the side effects of extrapyramidal symptoms.
Schizophrenia is a mental illness with the highest prevalence, with a slow course of disease, is prone to repeated attacks, aggravation or exacerbation, resulting in serious burden and adverse consequences for patients and their families. Psychopaths may experience positive symptoms such as delusion, hallucination and disturbance in thought, language and behavior, negative symptoms such as lack of emotion and expression, poor speech and lack of pleasure, and other symptoms such as cognitive disorder. Although the research, development and clinical application of anti-schizophrenia drugs have developed greatly in the past few decades, both traditional antipsychotics (first-generation) (haloperidol, droperidol, thioridazine, etc.) and atypical antipsychotics (second-generation) (clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, etc.) are effective in treating positive symptoms, while poor in improving negative symptoms and cognitive disorder. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop anti-schizophrenia drugs that can improve not only positive symptoms but also negative symptoms and cognitive disorder. Highly active dopamine D3 receptor modulators can improve negative symptoms, positive symptoms and cognitive disorder in patients with schizophrenia, without the side effects of the first- and second-generation antipsychotics such as extrapyramidal symptoms and weight gain.
Antagonists or partial agonists of D3 receptor have a good efficacy on improving the positive symptoms, negative symptoms and cognitive disorder of schizophrenia. International patent applications WO2007093540, WO2009013212A2, WO2010031735A1 and WO2012117001A1 report D3 receptor and 5HT2A dual modulator compounds, but most of the binding activities Ki of the compounds to D3 receptor and 5HT2A are above 10 nM. Patent application WO2014086098A1 filed by Jiangsu Hengyi Pharmaceutical Co., LTD reports D3 selective inhibitors, but no study on the binding activity to 5HT2A is reported. Cariprazine, a D3 antagonist developed by Gedeon Richter Plc., was available in 2015 and applied for the international patent application WO2005012266A1. Cariprazine has a potent D3 receptor agonist activity, and its use in the treatment of schizophrenia for negative symptoms has significant advantages over existing drugs. However, Cariprazine has weak inhibitory activity on 5-HT2A receptor, resulting in severe side effects of extrapyramidal symptoms (ESP). Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop highly active D3 receptor modulators with optimized 5HT2A binding activity to reduce the side effects of extrapyramidal symptoms and improve the effects on negative symptoms and cognitive improvement in schizophrenia.

4. Experimental Data Processing Method:

    
    


The calcium signal values were determined by FLIPR. The calculated output for each sampling time point in the experiment was the ratio of the 340/510 nm wavelength signals to 380/510 nm wavelength signals. The maximum minus minimum calculation was derived from the ratio signal curve. The percent inhibition rate and ten-point concentration data were fitted to the parametric nonlinear logistic equation by using GraphPad prism to calculate the IC50 values of the compound.

        5.1.1 The animal was put into the shuttle box and adapted for 5 seconds, followed by subjecting to 10 seconds of sound and light stimulation;
        5.1.2 If the animal avoided to the other side during the 10 seconds of sound and light stimulation, then no electric shock would be given, this would be recorded as avoids, and the single training ended;
        5.1.3 If the animal failed to move to the other side after the 10 seconds of sound and light stimulation, then an electric shock would be given, the current intensity was 0.6 mA, the duration was 10 seconds, if the animal avoided to the other side during the 10 seconds of electric shock, then the electric shock would stop, this would be recorded as escapes, and the single training ended;
        5.1.4 If the animal failed to avoid during the 10 seconds of electric shock, then the electric shock would stop, this would be recorded as escape failures, and the single training ended;
        5.1.5 Each animal was trained 30 times a day for a total of 6 days, and returned to the cage after the training.

5.2 Baseline Test and Grouping

    
    


The day before the compound screening test, a baseline test was performed. The test process was the same as 5.1.1 to 5.1.3, and the number of the baseline test was 20. The animals whose number of avoids reached 16 (80%) were grouped according to the number of avoids, 10 animals per group. The first group was administered with the vehicle orally, and the other groups were administered with the corresponding test compounds according to the experimental design.
5.3 Compound Screening Test
The compound was administered orally (5 mL/kg) one hour before the test; The test process was the same as 5.1.1 to 5.1.4, and the number of the test was 20.
6. Data Process:
The following data was collected by the software for data analysis:

    
    
        Number of avoids of the animal;
        Number of escape failures of the animal;
        Escape latency of the animal;
        All measurement data were expressed as mean±standard error (Mean±SEM), and analyzed by Graphpad 6 statistical software. The difference was considered to be significant when p<0.05.
