CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0139609 filed on Oct. 16, 2014 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The following disclosure relates to an indolizino[3,2-c]quinoline derivative, pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, method for preparing the same and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cystic fibrosis containing the same as an active ingredient.

BACKGROUND

Heterocyclic compounds are regarded as one of the most important compounds in various fields, including material chemistry as well as biochemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry. Particularly, in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, aromatic heterocyclic compounds have been used as key skeletons. Among such heterocyclic compounds, those having a 5,6-heteroaromatic cycle pattern are reported to provide biological activities, such as antibacterial, antiviral and anticancer activities. They are also reported to provide various pharmacological functions depending on the substitution pattern around an aromatic ring.

A cystic fibrosis conductance transmembrane regulator (CFTR) is a kind of carriers controlling the transport of anions, is expressed by various cell types including absorptive and secretory epithelial cells, and functions to control other ion channels and activity of protein as well as the flow of anions passing through a membrane. CTFR-mediated diseases include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dry eye syndrome or Sjogren's syndrome in addition to cystic fibrosis.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. have reported modifiers for cystic fibrosis conductance transmembrane regulator having various structures through US Patent Application No. 2011-0257233, U.S. Pat.

No. 5,155,255 discloses a method for preparing 8-methyl-7-(1-oxopropyl)indolizino[1,2-b]quinoline-9(11H)-one and International Patent Publication No. WO1992/007856 discloses the features of an indolizino[1,2-b]quinolinone compound, which merely shows pharmaceutical activity to viral infections due to the above-mentioned structural difference. Thus, there is no report about the compounds having an indolizino[3,2-c]quinoline skeleton disclosed herein.

Particularly, as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, the compounds according to Examples 12 and 27 show no toxicity even at a high concentration of 100 μM and thus are expected to be useful as stem cell activators.

Test Example 2.3 Migration Assay

Adipose-derived stem cells are implanted into a 96-well plate in a number of 3×104/well and cultured for 24 hours. Then, media change into high-glucose DMEM is carried out and the cells are cultured overnight. After starvation, a mechanical wound is made and the cells are treated with each of the compounds according to Examples at a different concentration (0.1, 1, 10, 50 μM), Next, the cells are incubated for 24 hours and 48 hours under the conditions of 37° C. and 5% CO2. Then, the Incucyte zoom (Essen Bioscience, USA) is photographed from the time point of treatment with each compound at an interval of 1 hour to analyze the migration of ASC.

It can be seen from the migration assay of adipose-derived stem cells that each of the compounds according to Examples 12 and 27 has migration ability for adipose-derived stem cells, which is shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. As can be seen from the foregoing, the compound according to the present disclosure stimulates proliferation and migration of adipose-derived stem cells, which suggests that the compound according to the present disclosure can be used as a composition for stimulating proliferation of stem cells and as a stem cell activator.

Test Example 3 Determination of Effect Upon CFTR Chloride Ion Channel Activity

FRT cells expressing mutant trifunctional protein (TFP) specific to human cystic fibrosis conductance transmembrane regulator (CFTR) and iodide ions are cultured in the Coon's modified F-12 culture medium for 48 hours on a 96-well plate. Each well of the plate containing the cultured cells is washed three times with 200 μl of PBS buffer, and then 100 μl of PBS buffer is added to each well. The indolizino[3,2-c]quinoline derivative according to each Example is introduced to each well to a final concentration of 30 μM, followed by reaction for 10 minutes. After the completion of the reaction, the 96-well is mounted to a FLUOstar Omega microplate reader (BMG LABTECH) and 100 μl of NaI solution is added to each well. Then, YFP fluorescence reduced by the iodide ions introduced to the cells through CFTR is recorded at an interval of 0.4 seconds for 24 seconds in total, thereby evaluating the effect of each compound upon CFTR activity.

The effect of each indolizino[3,2-c]quinoline derivative upon CFTR chloride ion channel activity is calculated as an activity ratio based on the CFTR activity maximized by a well-known CFTR agonist, forskolin. The results are shown in the following Table 2.

TABLE 2 Activity ratio Compound (%) Ex. 1  85 Ex. 5  93 Ex. 10 63 Ex. 12 44 Ex. 13 83 Ex. 14 82 Ex. 15 98 Ex. 17 50 Ex. 21 66 Ex. 33 37 Ex. 38 31

Particularly, it can be seen that the compounds according to Examples 1, 5, 10, 13, 14, 15 and 31 have a high activity ratio and stimulate water secretion in the bowel. Therefore, the compounds according to the present disclosure can be used as an agent for preventing or treating diseases caused by degradation of activity of cystic fibrosis conductance transmembrane regulator, such as cystic fibrosis, dry eye syndrome or constipation.
