Title: Benfotiamine derivatives in the treatment of alzheimer&#39;s disease

Description:
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 16/549,700, filed Aug. 23, 2019, and the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference. 
    
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to the fields of medicine and chemistry, and more to particularly, to benfotiamine derivatives, a method for preparing the same and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Alzheimer&#39;s disease (AD, commonly known as senile dementia) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive and behavioral disorders. It is one of the most common form of elderly dementia primarily with recognition disorder and rapid decay in memory function. The main pathological features of Alzheimer&#39;s disease are senile plaques caused by the deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ) in the brain, neurofibrillary tangles caused by the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, the glucose dysmetabolism in the brain and the loss of neuronal/synaptic junction. Due to long courses of illness and the poor self-care ability of patients, AD brings serious mental and economic burdens to families and the society. However, currently, few medicines in the worldwide can prevent or slow down the progression of this disease. Medicines on the market now for the treatment of AD are symptomatic, which can only control or improve cognitive and functional symptoms for a period of time, but cannot prevent or delay the deterioration of the disease. 
     Benfotiamine, chemical name: S-[2-[[(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl) methyl]formylamino]-1-[2-(phosphonooxy)ethyl]-1-propenyl]ester, the molecular formula: C 19 H 23 N 4 O 6 PS, which can greatly improve low-bioavailability of water-soluble vitamin B 1  and can elevate the thiamine level in the blood and tissues, thereby increasing the curative effect. The present researches on benfotiamine mainly focus on the synthesis method, the crystal form and the application in medicine. Although recent studies have shown that benfotiamine can be used to the preparation of the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer&#39;s disease, for example, the patent application CN2007100411571.X discloses a pharmaceutical composition containing benfotiamine for the treatment of Alzheimer&#39;s disease, no studies have been found on the use of benfotiamine derivatives and medicine uses thereof, particularly the derivatives used in Alzheimer&#39;s disease.

     It can be seen in Table 1, compared with blank control (Comparative Example 1), benfotiamine shows good effect on reducing the generation of Aβ40 and Aβ42 peptides; some benfotiamine derivatives show no significant effect on reducing the generation of Aβ40 and Aβ42 peptides, such as Example 3, Example 21 and Example 22; some benfotiamine derivatives cause even more generation of Aβ40 and Aβ42 peptides, such as Example 7 and Example 23; and some benfotiamine derivatives also show quite good effect on reducing the generation of Aβ40 and Aβ42 peptides. This result indicates that benfotiamine derivatives may have different effects on the generation of Aβ40 and Aβ42 peptides from the cells, and which benfotiamine derivative could inhibit the generation of Aβ40 and Aβ42 peptides is unpredictable. 
     The benfotiamine derivatives show effect on reducing the contents of Aβ40 and Aβ42 secreted by APP/293 cells are listed in Table 2.
