Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, and particularly relates to a long-chain fatty acyl monoterpenoid compound, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof in preparing a complement inhibitor and an anti-viral pneumonia drug. Background Art

[0002] The complement system, as an important part of the body's immune system, participates in the body's specific and non-specific immune mechanisms. It plays an important role in the body's anti-microbial defense response, dissolution of immune complexes, enhancement of humoral immune response, and mediation of the damaging response of immunopathology. If the complement system is over-activated, it will not only consume a large amount of complement components, reducing the body's anti-infection ability, but also produce a large number of bioactive substances, causing a serious inflammatory response in the body, thus resulting in a pathological damage process. For example, the development process of infectious diseases such as influenza is closely related to the over-activation of complement. Research has found that the direct cell damage caused by the host's viral infection is only one of its pathogenic mechanisms, while the excessive inflammatory response and immune homeostasis imbalance caused by the host's infection and damage, and the resulting cytokine storm are the key factors leading to severe pneumonia and even death. Therefore, regulating the body's immune response to treat viral infectious pneumonia, especially in the prevention and treatment of severe pneumonia, has important clinical significance. Therefore, it is of great value and significance to search for highly effective and low-toxic complement inhibitors from traditional Chinese medicine to treat these diseases related to the over-activation of the complement system.

[0046] II. In vitro anti-complement classical pathway test

[0047] Take 0.1 mL of complement prepared from guinea pig serum and add it to barbital buffer solution (BBS) to prepare a 1:10 (v / v) solution. Then, serially dilute it with BBS to 1:20 (v / v), 1:40 (v / v), 1:80 (v / v), 1:160 (v / v), 1:320 (v / v), 1:640 (v / v), and 1:1280 (v / v) solutions. Take 0.1 mL of 1:1000 (v / v) hemolysin, complement at each concentration, and 2% sheep red blood cells (SRBC), and dissolve them in 0.3 mL of BBS. Mix well, place in a water bath at 37 °C for 30 min, then put it into a low-temperature high-speed centrifuge and centrifuge at 5000 rpm and 4 °C for 10 min. Take 0.2 mL of the supernatant from each tube and place it in a 96-well plate, and measure the absorbance at 405 nm. At the same time, set up a complete hemolysis group (0.1 mL of 2% SRBC dissolved in 0.5 mL of distilled water) in the experiment. Take the absorbance of the distilled water lysed blood vessel as the complete hemolysis standard and calculate the hemolysis rate. Plot the complement dilution on the X-axis and the hemolysis percentage on the Y-axis. Select the lowest complement concentration that reaches a similar high hemolysis rate as the critical complement concentration required to ensure normal hemolysis of the system. Mix the complement at the critical concentration with the test samples at different concentrations, add an appropriate amount of BBS, hemolysin, and 2% SRBC, place in a water bath at 37 °C for 30 min, then put it into a low-temperature high-speed centrifuge, centrifuge at 5000 rpm and 4 °C for 10 min, and then take 0.2 mL of the supernatant from each tube and place it in a 96-well plate, and measure the absorbance at 405 nm. At the same time, set up a test sample control group, a complement group, and a complete hemolysis group in the experiment. After subtracting the absorbance value of the corresponding test sample control group from the absorbance value of the test sample, calculate the hemolysis rate. Plot the test sample concentration on the X-axis and the hemolysis inhibition rate on the Y-axis, and calculate the concentration of the test sample required to inhibit 50% hemolysis (CH 50 ). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0048] Table 1. Inhibitory effects of Compounds 1 and 2 on the classical pathway of the complement system (Mean±SD, n = 3)

[0049]

[0050] Determined by in vitro anti-complement activity assay, the results show that the long-chain fatty acyl monoterpenoid compounds 1 and 2 extracted and isolated in this example have strong inhibitory effects on the classical pathway of the complement system, and the minimum test sample concentrations required for 50% hemolysis are 432.9 μg / mL and 206.9 μg / mL, respectively.

[0051] III. Pharmacodynamic experiment of Compound 2 in the treatment of viral pneumonia

[0052] Thirty-two male BALB / c mice, weighing 14–15 g, were randomly divided into 4 groups according to body weight: a normal control group (abbreviated as Normal), a model group (abbreviated as Model), a compound 2 group (abbreviated as C2), and a positive drug group (the positive drug was oseltamivir, abbreviated as Oseltamivir), with 8 mice in each group.

[0053] All experimental animals were anesthetized with isoflurane gas and then infected by nasal drip with 30 μL of 2LD 50 H1N1 virus solution. In the normal group, 30 μL of 1640 medium was used for nasal drip infection as a control, and the other 3 groups were infected with H1N1 virus solution. Two hours after infection, intragastric administration was carried out. The administration dose of the compound 2 group was 40 mg / kg, which served as a control for the normal and virus-infected groups. The positive drug group was given oseltamivir at a dose of 20 mg / kg, once a day for four consecutive days, and the body weight of the mice was recorded daily. Four days after the mice were infected with the virus, their body weights were measured, blood was taken by cutting the eyeball, the whole lungs were cut off, the bloodstains were blotted dry with filter paper, and the weights were recorded. The upper lobe of the right lung was placed in 10% formalin for pathological evaluation of the mouse lung tissue. The right lung was rinsed clean with normal saline and stored in a -80°C refrigerator. When the frozen lung tissue was to be used, it was homogenized with pre-cooled PBS using a homogenizer, the homogenate was collected and centrifuged, the supernatant was aliquoted and stored at -80°C for later use. It was used for BCA quantification and measurement of indexes such as lung tissue inflammatory factors.

[0054] (1) Effect of compound 2 on the body weight of H1N1 virus-infected mice

[0055] Body weight change is a macroscopic index to evaluate whether a drug has a protective effect on mice with viral pneumonia. The body weight change rate was obtained by dividing the daily body weight of the mice by the body weight on the day of infection, and the body weight change curve was plotted using the daily body weight change rate of the mice. The results showed that the body weight of the mice in the model group decreased the most, and the body weight decrease in each drug-administered group was significantly less than that in the model group. The results are as Figure 2 shown.

[0056] (2) Effect of compound 2 on the lung index of H1N1 virus-infected mice

[0057] The lung index is the ratio of the wet weight of the mouse lung to the body weight. The larger the ratio, the more severe the lung lesion, which is also an important indicator of viral pneumonia. The specific calculation process is as follows: On the fourth day after virus infection, the animals were weighed, blood was taken sufficiently, the lungs were dissected and removed intact, and the surface blood was blotted dry with filter paper and then weighed. This was used as the wet weight of the lungs, and the lung index was calculated. Lung index = wet weight of lungs (mg) / body weight (g).

[0058] The results showed that compared with the model group, the lung index of the mice in the normal group was significantly lower (p < 0.001); after drug administration, the lung indexes of the C2 group and the positive drug group were significantly lower than that of the model group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001), as Figure 3 shown.

[0059] (3) Effect of Compound 2 on the pathological changes in the lungs of mice infected with H1N1 virus

[0060] Take the lung tissue samples in the fixing solution, embed them in paraffin to form tissue blocks with a volume of 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm, cut them into paraffin sections with a width of 5 μm and perform HE staining. Finally, scan the sections with an Olympus VS200 whole slide scanner.

[0061] The pathological examination results showed that in the normal group, the alveolar contours were clear, the structure was complete, there was no bleeding, and there was basically no inflammation; the pathological sections of the model group showed that the alveolar walls were significantly thickened, the alveoli were atrophied and deformed, and a large number of neutrophils and lymphomononuclear cells infiltrated the lung interstitium, with severe inflammation. Both the C2 group and the positive drug group could significantly improve the pathological damage of the lungs. The alveolar contours were relatively clear, the structure was relatively complete, and the infiltration of inflammatory cells was significantly reduced, as Figure 4 shown.

[0062] (4) Effect of Compound 2 on the content of inflammatory factors in the lungs of mice infected with H1N1 virus

[0063] Take the supernatant of the lung tissue homogenate, detect the protein content by the BCA method according to the instruction manual, and determine the contents of MCP-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in the lung tissues of mice in each group in the experiment by the ELISA method according to the kit instruction manual.

[0064] Compared with the model group, the levels of MCP-1, IL-6, and TNF-α in the lung homogenate of mice in the normal group were significantly lower than those in the model group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001); after administration, the levels of MCP-1, IL-6, and TNF-α in the lung homogenate of the C2 group were significantly lower than those in the model group (p < 0.01, p < 0.001, p < 0.01), and the levels of MCP-1, IL-6, and TNF-α in the lung homogenate of the positive drug group were significantly lower than those in the model group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.05). The results are as Figure 5 shown.
