Embodiment 1

[0046] Preparation and structure identification of the compounds of the present invention.

[0047] Three compounds will be used as examples (structures are shown below):

[0048]

[0049] experimental method:

[0050] (1) The preparation method of compound 1 is as follows:

[0051] (1) Take the dried herbaceous stems of Ephedra herbaceae, dry them at 50°C, pass through a 65-mesh sieve after crushing, and take the ephedra powder under the sieve for later use;

[0052] (2) Add 50 times its weight of ethanol with a weight percentage concentration of 70% to the ephedra powder for ultrasonic-assisted extraction. The extraction temperature is 25°C, the extraction time is 0.5 h, and the ultrasonic frequency is 40 KHz. Filter and remove the solvent to obtain The extract is ready for use;

[0053] (3) The product in step (2) was dissolved in distilled water, ultrafiltered and centrifuged for 0.5 h, the lower layer solution was taken, concentrated under reduced pressure, the solv...

Embodiment 2

[0067] The compound of the present invention inhibits the interaction between the RBD region of the SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus Spike protein and the ACE2 receptor.

[0068] Experimental method: Competitive binding inhibition experiment. Add 100 μl of 0.5 μg / ml SARS-Cov-2 RBD recombinant protein dissolved in coating solution (50 mM carbonate buffer, pH 9.6) to a 96-well microplate, and place at 4°C overnight. The next day, rinse three times with 300 μl washing solution (phosphate buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween 20, pH 7.4) to remove uncoated proteins. Then add 300 μl of blocking solution (washing solution containing 2% bovine serum albumin, pH 7.4) and block at 37°C for 1h. After washing three times, 50 μl of different concentrations of the test compound was mixed with 50 μl of 0.12 μg / ml biotinylated ACE2, added to the 96-well plate, and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. After washing three times, 100 μl of streptavidin-labeled horseradish peroxidase was added to each w...

Embodiment 3

[0071] The compound of the present invention promotes the dissociation of the RBD region of the SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus Spike protein and the ACE2 receptor complex.

[0072]Experimental method: Competitive binding inhibition experiment. Add 100 μl of 0.5 μg / ml SARS-CoV-2 RBD recombinant protein dissolved in coating solution (50 mM carbonate buffer, pH 9.6) to a 96-well microplate, and place at 4°C overnight. The next day, rinse three times with 300 μl washing solution (phosphate buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween 20, pH 7.4) to remove uncoated proteins. Then add 300 μl of blocking solution (washing solution containing 2% bovine serum albumin, pH 7.4) and block at 37°C for 1h. After washing three times, 50 μl of 0.12 μg / ml biotinylated ACE2 was added to the 96-well plate and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. After washing three times, 50 μl of the compound to be tested at a concentration of 25 μM was added to the 96-well plate and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. After washing t...

Abstract

The invention discloses the use of a compound capable of inhibiting the interaction between coronavirus Spike protein and ACE2. The structure is as follows, and the use of this type of compound in the preparation of medicines for treating and / or preventing SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus infection. At the same time, the compound can not only inhibit the interaction between coronavirus Spike protein and ACE2 protein with IC50<1μM, but also promote the dissociation of Spike‑ACE2 complex. At the cellular level, it can effectively inhibit the invasion of the new coronavirus SARS‑CoV‑2 pseudovirus, with IC50<2μM. The compound can specifically bind to the RBD region of the Spike protein, with KD<6 μM, indicating that this type of compound has a very positive effect on the preparation of drugs for treating and / or preventing coronavirus infection.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to pharmaceutical use, in particular to compounds capable of inhibiting the interaction between coronavirus Spike protein and ACE2. Background technique [0002] A virus SARS-CoV-2 is a new type of coronavirus, and the novel coronavirus pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 was named COVID-2019 by WHO. So far, there is no effective way to treat this infectious disease. Therefore, there is a need to produce vaccines or antibody drugs to fight against this disease or to screen new drugs for the treatment of coronavirus disease. [0003] The Spike protein of the coronavirus helps the virus recognize and enter target cells. Many research groups have shown that SARS-CoV-2 uses the homotrimeric Spike (S) glycoprotein to bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) through its receptor-binding domain (RBD), which is further processed by human proteases. Proteolytic activation mediates cell infection. Targeting the interaction betw...
