Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention pertains to the field of pharmaceuticals, particularly to novel cholic acid derivatives, their process of synthesis, composition comprising of these compounds and use of the compounds for autoimmune diseases. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Bile acids (BAs) are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver by two pathways: classical and alternative pathways. After each meal, bile acids are excreted to the intestinal tract, where they undergo bacteria-mediated transformation to generate a large pool of bioactive molecules. BAs activate GPCR1, and FXR receptors present on innate immune cells, which contribute to maintaining a tolerogenic phenotype in entero-hepatic tissues. Recently published studies have shown that the Clostridium species modified bile may signal liver sinusoidal endothelial cells to secrete CXCL16, a potent chemokine to recruit NK cells and perform anti-tumor surveillance of the liver. Several reports have shown that both dietary and microbial composition may alter the BAs pool and modulate the colonic regulatory T cells expressing the transcription factor RORγ. In addition, individuals with genetic abolition in BAs metabolism have reduced frequencies of colonic regulatory T cells, and which of these individuals are susceptible to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Restoration of the intestinal BAs pool increases the frequency of colonic RORγ+ Treg cell and reduces host susceptibility to inflammatory colitis. Th17 cells play a critical role in host defense against extracellular pathogens. However, Th17 cells with distinct effector functions act as an inducer of autoimmune inflammation/inflammatory conditions in psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and other inflammatory diseases. The pathogenic functions of Th17/T cells and inflammatory cells in autoimmune diseases are mediated by pro- inflammatory cytokines like IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, IL-22, IL-6 etc. In addition, the imbalance between Th17 and Tregs favors the effector functions of Th17 cells, which contribute to the inflammation and exacerbation of autoimmune diseases/inflammatory conditions. Therapies based on the increase in IL-10 production, a major anti-inflammatory cytokine, are novel to control inflammation in autoimmune/inflammatory conditions. These therapies may be implicated to enhance the frequency and functions of regulatory T cells (Tr1, Foxp3+ T regulatory cells, and RORγ+ T regs) while suppressing the functions of proinflammatory T cells like Th17 cells. Based on our results, we propose novel synthetic cholic acid derivatives as potent inhibitors of Th17 and other inflammatory T cells and inducers of IL-10-producing regulatory T cells. Hence, there is a need to have novel compounds having effect on auto immune disorders OBJECT OF THE INVENTION An object of the invention is to design and develop novel synthetic cholic acid derivatives for autoimmune disorders/inflammatory conditions, process of synthesis of the compounds, compositions comprising the said compounds and use of the compounds and treatment comprising the compounds of the present invention. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: The Invention provides a synthetic cholic acid compound for autoimmune disorders/inflammatory conditions comprising the compounds of Formula I Formula I Where X is selected from -OH or -NH-R, R is selected from the group consisting of mono, di-, tri- or tetra-peptide moiety having glutamic acid, wherein the terminal amino group of the glutamic acid is either in the salt form or protected form and the carboxylic acid group in the side chain of the glutamic acid is in the protected form; or R is selected from tetra peptide moiety having leucine, wherein the terminal amino group of the leucine is either in the salt form or protected form, Y is selected from OR, NHR or lysine moiety, wherein both the carboxylic acid group and the side chain amino group of the lysine are protected or in the salt form, R is independently, H or C1 to C6 straight chained or branched alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl groups. R1 and R2 are independently H or OH. The Invention also provides a process of preparing the Cholic Acid Derivatives of compounds of Formula I, comprising the following steps: Preparation of amino-cholic acid: Protection of C24 carboxylic acid of cholic acid to its methyl ester in methanol using p-TSA followed by selective activation of the 3α- hydroxyl functionality of methyl cholate to respective mesylate using methane sulfonyl chloride, triethylamine in DCM followed by substitution using sodium azide in DMF to yield 3β-azido-methyl cholate and further reduction via Staudinger reaction using PPh3 in THF and water.

The present invention provides for pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of compounds of formula (I) as well as pharmaceutically acceptable or present as their free base form. The non- toxic acids which are used to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of above-mentioned base compounds of this invention. Appropriate acids comprise, for example, the inorganic acids such as the Hydrochloride, Hydrobromide, Hydroiodide, Phosphorates, Nitric acid and Sulfuric acid; or organic acids such as Methanesulfonate, Acetate, Fumarate, Saccharate, p-toluenesulfonate, Benzenesulfonate, Lactate, Succinate, Citrate, Tartrate, Succinate, Gluconate, Benzoate, etc. The base addition salts of formula (I) were prepared by using the pharmaceutically acceptable chemical bases. The pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts of those compounds of formula (I) that are acidic in nature and may form non-toxic base salts, such as pharmaceutically acceptable alkali metal cations, like potassium, sodium, and alkali earth metal cations, (e.g., calcium, magnesium), ammonium or water-soluble amine addition salts, like N- methylglucamine, and lower alkanolammonium and other pharmaceutically acceptable organic amine salts. The compounds of present invention may exist in more than one form of crystal structure is called polymorph. The compounds may be existing as crystalline or amorphous form. Without being limited by theory the peptide conjugates (synthesized compounds in the present application) may not be a prodrug. Even though, bile acid itself is known to show similar effect, the amide linked conjugates will not easily get deprotected to give a parent bile acid in the biological system. Infact, the bile acid itself is converted to amino derivative so there is no chance to get the parent bile acid from the active compounds in-vivo. Computational docking results demonstrate that the compounds of the present invention have enhanced therapeutic efficacy. In addition, the peptide conjugates of the present invention 16 and17 are found to be very active. The compounds of the present invention show activity as illustrated in the present invention. B. Process for preparation of the compounds of the present invention In another aspect, the present invention also discloses a process of preparing the compounds of the present invention. The compounds of the present invention may be prepared by the general synthetic schemes 1, presented here below. Synthesis of Cholic Acid Derivatives: 3α-Hydroxyl functionality of cholic acid was converted to β-amino functionality to form the building block required for the synthesis of desired cholic acid-leucine and cholic acid-glutamic acid conjugates (Scheme 1). Scheme 1. Synthesis of steroid backbone. Carboxylic acid at C24 position of cholic acid may be converted to respective ester by overnight stirring of cholic acid in alcohol using an acid catalyst (Scheme 1). The ester may also be obtained by a coupling reaction of carboxylic acid with different alcohols. Selective activation of the C3-α-hydroxyl group of methyl cholate can be carried out using organic sulfonyl chloride which can be further reacted with azide source to yield 3β-azido derivatives. The respective 3β- azido derivatives can be synthesized using Mitsunobutype reaction. Reduction of 3β-azido functionality via Staudinger reaction can be carried out to yield the respective 3-amino-cholic acid derivatives (Scheme 1). For the synthesis of leucine conjugates of cholic acid, tetrapeptides of leucine were prepared and then coupled with cholic acid scaffold. The tetrapeptide Boc-(Leu)4-OBzl can be synthesized from L-leucine 6 in total 7 steps as shown in Scheme 2. Selective protection of carboxylic acid functionality of L-leucine 6 can be achieved using benzyl alcohol in acid catalyst and protection of amino functionality can be achieved using Boc-anhydride to yield the protected monomers 7 and 8, respectively which can be further coupled in polar aprotic solvent using peptide coupling reagents to furnish dipeptide, Boc-(Leu) 2 -OBzl 9 (Scheme 2).

Experimental Biology: Example 1: Efficacy check of cholic acid derivatives using in-vitro Th17 cells differentiation. Step 1: Isolation of Splenocytes and lymph node cells from mice: Inventors used IL-10-GFP mice (6-8 weeks old) for isolating spleen and lymph nodes with prior ethical committee approval. Isolated spleen and lymph nodes were homogenized into single cell suspension and RBCs were lysed in Splenocytes using RBC lysis buffer. Step 2: In vitro differentiation of Th17 cells and effect of cholic acid derivatives on Th17 differentiation Splenocytes and lymph node cells were pooled and seeded in 96 well plates with density of 0.2 million cells/ well. Soluble mouse anti-CD3 (2.0 μg/mL) was added for the activation of T cells. For differentiation of T cells into Th17 cells, recombinant mouse TGF-beta (2.0 ng/mL) and recombinant mouse IL-6 cytokine (25.0 ng/mL) was added. Various cholic acid derivatives were added in individual wells along with Th17 differentiating cytokines at the start of culture. The culture was done for 3 days. Intracellular cytokine staining was done to check the expression of IL-17 and IL-10 cytokine in Th17 differentiated cells. The effect of various cholic acid derivatives was compared to a Th17 control condition. The results are provided at Figure 1 and figure 2. From the figure 1 and figure 2, it may be seen that Spleen and Lymph nodes were isolated from IL-10 GFP mice and their single cell suspension was prepared. Total cells were activated using soluble anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies and differentiated into Th17 cells using recombinant mouse IL-6 and TGF-beta cytokines. Cholic acid derivatives were added at the start of the culture (for details see table 1) with dose 200 μM. Cells were differentiated for 72 hours. IL-17 production was measured by Intracellular cytokine staining and IL-10 was measured as GFP signal by FACS. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001 was calculated by one-way ANOVA. The results of the present invention were arrived by the calculation below and presented at Table 2 below: Here, ‘f10’ refers to ‘percentage change of IL10’. ‘f17’ refers to ‘percentage change of IL17’. ‘f10/17’ refers to ‘efficacy factor’. ‘IL10i’ refers to ‘unintervened levels of IL10’. ‘IL10n’ refers to ‘levels of IL10 post intervention’. ‘IL17i’ refers to ‘unintervened levels of IL17’. ‘IL17n’ refers to ‘levels of IL17 post intervention’. Higher the value of efficacy factor, more active is the compound. Table 2: In-vitro activities of the compound of the present invention Compound Efficacy factor No. ( f10/17) 14 0.976096 15 0.116729 16 4.650073 17 3.140058 18 0.346603 19 1.2372 20 0.478639

Higher the value of efficacy factor (f10/17) more IL-10 and lesser IL-17 production by a compound when given to the in-vitro differentiated CD4 + T cells under Th17 conditions. So, a positive value of f10/17 for a compound indicates that the particular compound is more active, and activity increases as the values of f10/17 increase further and vice versa. Hence, the compounds of the present invention are found to be active. Example 2: DOCKING STUDIES Co-crystal of digoxin bound ROR-γt was taken from Protein Data Bank (Pdb Id- 3B0W). To prepare protein for binding studies, bound ligand digoxin was removed, and missing side chains were added. Hydrogens were added, charges were assigned, and bond orders were corrected using parameters from OPLS 3.0 forcefield. This was followed by protonation of Histidine and complete structure minimization using Polak-Ribière-Conjugate Gradient algorithm implemented in Protein Preparation Wizard module of Schrodinger-2017-2 suite (Schrodinger here after). Coordinates for ligand of interest- various cholic acid derivatives including Cholic acid (CA) and Lithocholic acid (LCA) were taken from PubChem. Structure of Digoxin was extracted from co-crystal of digoxin bound complex-3B0W. Possible conformations of ligands were generated using the LigPrep module in Schrodinger. Molecular docking was accomplished using GlideXp module of Schrodinger-2017-2. Binding free energies of all ligands were computed using Prime MM-PBSA method implemented in Schrodinger. The results are presented at Figure 3 Figure 3 shows the binding energy of Novel compounds of the present invention when compared with known existing compounds such as Lithocholic acid (LCA), Cholic acid (CA) and digoxin (As a positive control). Predicted binding scores indicate that novel CA derivatives have a better affinity towards ROR-γt in comparison to different known compounds and could suppress the activity of the Th17 cells and their respective cytokines. Example 3:In-vitro testing of cholic acid derivatives in blocking of ROR-γt functions. To study the efficacy of the best three synthetic cholic acid derivatives, C-26, C-17, and C-16, shortlisted from the docking and in-vitro differentiation-based assays for Th17 cells, inventors performed luciferase assay to confirm whether these three derivatives can block ROR-γt function in the IL-17 luciferase assay. For which inventors seeded 20,000 HEK 293 per well in a 96-well plate. After overnight culture, those cells were transfected with pMIG-RORyt (80 ng/well), pGL4 mIL172kb promoter (50 ng/well), and pRL-Tk plasmid (Promega, 20 ng/well) separately and in combination using the X-tremeGENE™ 9 DNA Transfection Reagent (Roche). After 24 hours of transfection, test compounds (C-26, C-17, and C-16) were added. Twenty-four hours later, those cells were lyzed and analyzed for Renilla and Firefly measurements using the Dual- Glo® Luciferase Assay System (Promega) with a luminometer (Biotek Multimode plate reader). Renilla luciferase was used to normalize luciferase activity and transfection efficiency. As a result, inventors found that all three synthetic derivatives were able to bind to the ROR-γt element in the IL‑17 promoter efficiently and significantly decreased the luminescence intensity. These results are presented in figure 4. Example 4: Efficacy of cholic acid derivatives in prevention of experimental colitis in mice. Step 1: Experimental Colitis induction and dosing regimen used for cholic acid derivatives treatment in mice: For experimental colitis induction, the inventor gave 2.0 % (w/v) Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) to mice in drinking water for six days. Selected three derivatives (C-26, C-17, and C-16; Dose 100 mg/kg) were given to DSS colitis mice using enema on days 3, 5, and 7. Each enema volume was 150 μl. On day 9, mice were sacrificed, and body parameters for colitis were measured and compared with the control (healthy) and DSS-treated group of animals. Step2: In-vivo study showing protective effect of cholic acid derivatives in experimental colitis: The inventors tested these derivatives (C-26, C-17, and C-16) in experimental colitis and found a delay in the signs of colitis indicated by body weight reduction, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and colon length recovery. Histologically, that derivative suppresses leukocyte infiltration, edema, and inflammation in experimental colitis. The immunological analysis identifies that these derivatives efficiently promote IL-10 while suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-17, and IFN-γ from CD4 + T cells isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes. Altogether, data indicated that bile acid synthetic derivatives effectively mediate protection in experimental colitis. The inventors proposed that these synthetic derivatives could be a promising therapy for colitis and other gut-related pathologies in humans. These results are presented in figure 5 to 10.
