Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of natural medicine chemistry, and relates to a preparation method of a monobenzylisoquinoline alkaloid and its application in the prevention or treatment of diseases such as pain, anxiety, and depression. Background Art
[0002] Menispermum dauricum DC. is a plant of the genus Menispermum in the family Menispermaceae. Its rhizome is a traditional Chinese medicine, also known as Beidougen. Clinically, it is commonly used to treat tonsillitis, rheumatoid arthritis, diarrhea, dysentery, gastroenteritis, cardiovascular diseases, and thrombosis diseases, etc. The main components of Menispermum dauricum roots are isoquinoline alkaloids, and they exhibit a wide range of biological activities, such as anti-arrhythmia, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor, etc. The isoquinoline alkaloids in Menispermum dauricum roots mainly include various subclasses such as bisbenzylisoquinoline, benzylisoquinoline, aporphine, protoberberine, and morphinan. Among them, the content of bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids is relatively high, accounting for more than 85% of the lipophilic alkaloids, represented by dauricine and daurisoline.
[0003] Based on the optical sensor's label-free cellular integrative pharmacology (CLIP) technology is a new type of phenotypic screening technology. Its principle is that when cells are stimulated by the external environment (such as the binding of drug small molecules to receptors), many physiological behaviors generated by the cells will bring about a redistribution of the internal mass of the cells. This change in mass distribution is detected by a resonant waveguide grating (RWG) biosensor, and the output signal is the change in the reflection wavelength, thus forming a visual dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) signal. Its experimental operation process can be carried out on the Epic system. The CLIP technology has the characteristics of label-free (receptors and compounds do not need to be labeled), unbiased (phenotypic screening), high-throughput, non-invasive, and high spatiotemporal resolution (the change in reflection wavelength within the entire measurement time range), so it has been widely used in many fields, including the screening and discovery of active molecules of natural products.
[0004] Menispermum dauricum roots are rich in isoquinoline alkaloids. In view of the important pharmacological activities of isoquinoline alkaloids widely reported at present, it is very meaningful to discover novel active isoquinoline alkaloids from Menispermum dauricum roots in combination with CLIP technology.

[0035] (1) Extraction of medicinal materials: Weigh 100kg of Sophora flavescens medicinal materials, add 1000L of 70% ethanol, soak for 24h, heat and reflux at 60℃ for 2h, filter to obtain extract 1, add 1000L of 70% ethanol to the filtered residue, heat and reflux at 60℃ for 2h, filter to obtain extract 2, add 1000L of 70% ethanol to the filtered residue, heat and reflux at 60℃ for 2h, filter to obtain extract 3, combine extracts 1~3, concentrate to 50L to obtain Sophora flavescens extract.
[0036] (2) Preparation of total alkali: Add 1% dilute sulfuric acid to the extract of Sophora flavescens to adjust the pH to between 2 and 3. Then add the same volume of ethyl acetate as the extract after acid adjustment and extract for the first time. Allow to stand and separate into layers to obtain ethyl acetate extract layer 1 and acid water layer 1. Then add 0.2% dilute sulfuric acid to the acid water layer 1 to adjust the pH to between 2 and 3. Then add the same volume of ethyl acetate as the extract after acid adjustment and extract for the second time to obtain ethyl acetate layer 2 and acid water layer 2. Then add 1% dilute sulfuric acid to the acid water layer 2 to adjust the pH to between 2 and 3. Then add the same volume of ethyl acetate as the extract after acid adjustment and extract for the third time to obtain ethyl acetate layer 3 and acid water layer 3. In the acidic aqueous layer 3, ammonia solution with a mass concentration of 25%–28% was added to adjust the pH to between 9 and 10. Then, the same volume of n-butanol as the alkali-adjusted sample was added for extraction. After standing and separation, n-butanol layer 1 and alkali aqueous layer 1 were obtained. Then, ammonia solution with a mass concentration of 25%–28% was added to the alkali aqueous layer 1 to adjust the pH to between 9 and 10. Then, the same volume of n-butanol as the alkali-adjusted extract was added for a second extraction, resulting in n-butanol layer 2 and alkali aqueous layer 2. Then, ammonia solution with a mass concentration of 25%–28% was added to the alkali aqueous layer 2 to adjust the pH to between 9 and 10. Then, the same volume of n-butanol as the alkali-adjusted extract was added for a third extraction, resulting in n-butanol layer 3 and alkali aqueous layer 3.

[0038] (4) The fraction F6 obtained in step (3) was prepared by reversed-phase preparative HPLC. The chromatographic column was a C8CE stationary phase (particle size 10 μm, diameter and height 100 × 250 mm), and the flow rate was 300 m / s. The flow rate was mL / min, and the mobile phase was methanol (A) and water (B, containing 0.03% ammonia solution with a mass concentration of 25%–28%). The elution gradient was 0–30 min, 10%–95%A (linear gradient), 30–40 min, 95%A (volume ratio), resulting in 8 sub-fractions: F6-1 (RT: 2–7 min), F6-2 (RT: 7–11 min), F6-3 (RT: 11–13 min), F6-4 (RT: 13–17 min), F6-5 (RT: 17–22 min), F6-6 (RT: 22–27 min), F6-7 (RT: 27–31 min), and F6-8 (RT: 31–35 min).
[0039] (5) The fraction F6-6 obtained in step (4) was prepared by preparative HPLC. The chromatographic column used C18CE stationary phase (particle size 7 μm, diameter and height 10 × 250 mm), the flow rate was 3 mL / min, the mobile phase was methanol (A) and water (B) (each containing 0.05% triethylamine acetate (the volume ratio of acetic acid to triethylamine is 1:3)), the elution gradient was 0-10 min, 20%-60%A (linear gradient), 10-25 min, 60%A, 25 min-40 min, 90%A (volume ratio), and fractions F6-6-1 (RT: peak corresponding to 18 min), F6-6-2 (RT: peak corresponding to 19.5 min), F6-6-3 (RT: peak corresponding to 21 min), and F6-6-4 (RT: peak corresponding to 22.5 min) were obtained. The obtained fraction F6-6-4 was then passed through a C18HCE stationary phase (particle size 7 μm, diameter and height 10 × 250 mm), with mobile phases A and B being methanol and water (each containing 0.2% formic acid by volume). The elution gradient was 0–40 min, 0% A–90% A (linear gradient). Compound I was collected according to the peak (RT: the peak corresponding to 15 min).

Rsc Advances 2019, 9 (26)). 15073-15083; SNC162 (catalog number: 1529) and SDM25N (catalog number: 1410) were purchased from Tocris; DMEM high-glucose culture medium (catalog number: C11995500BT) was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific; fetal bovine serum (catalog number: 04000101A) was purchased from Shenyang Huibai Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; balanced salt solutions HBSS (catalog number: 14065-056) and HEPES (catalog number: 15630-080) were purchased from Gibco. The detection platform was a Corning Epic® third-generation imager, and the signal detected was the wavelength shift caused by dynamic mass resetting (DMR).
[0048] HEK293-delta cells in logarithmic growth phase were seeded into Epic® 384-well (total 384 wells) biosensor microplates. The volume of cell suspension seeded per well was 40 µL, and the number of cells seeded per well was 2.5 × 10⁶. 4 Each 384-well plate was incubated in a cell culture incubator (air containing 5% CO2, 37°C) for 22-24 h. When the cell confluence reached approximately 95%, the culture medium in each well of the 384-well microplate inoculated with HEK293-delta cells was aspirated, and 30 µL of HBSS buffer (containing 20 mM HEPES) was added to each well. The plate was then equilibrated on an EpicR high-throughput high-content activity screening system before the experiment was performed.
[0049] The experiment is conducted in the following three steps:
[0050] (1) Activation experiment: First, a baseline of 2 min was established. Then, different final concentrations (100 μM, 50 μM, 25 μM, 12.5 μM, 6.25 μM, 3.125 μM, 1.563 μM, 0.781 μM, 0.391 μM, 0.195 μM, 0.098 μM, 0.049 μM, 0.024 μM) of compound I (10 µL) were added to different wells.

The dose-response curve of compound I was a monophasic "S"-shaped curve that reached a saturation response, corresponding to EC50. 50 The value is 2.5 ± 0.3 μM.
[0051] (2) Desensitization experiment: HEK293-delta cells were pretreated for 1 h with 10 µL of compound I (10 µL) at different final concentrations (100 μM, 50 μM, 25 μM, 12.5 μM, 6.25 μM, 3.125 μM, 1.563 μM, 0.781 μM, 0.391 μM, 0.195 μM, 0.098 μM, 0.049 μM, 0.024 μM) for 2 min. A baseline of 2 min was established. Then, 10 µL (fixed final concentration of 400 nM) of Delta receptor-specific agonist SNC162 was added to each well. The results after 1 h were monitored and are shown in Figure 6. Compound I completely desensitized the DMR response signal (Compound I_SNC162) of Delta receptor agonist SNC162, showing a dose-dependent effect. Its IC50 value was 10 µL. 50 The value was 45.3 ± 5.5 μM.

A 2-min baseline was established, and then 10 µL (fixed final concentration of 50 μM) of compound I was added to each well. The results after 1 h were monitored, as shown in Figure 6. The Delta receptor selective antagonist SDM25N completely inhibited the DMR response signal of compound I on HEK293-delta cells (SDM25N_CompoundI) in a dose-dependent manner. Its IC50 value was 10 µL / min. 50 The value was 0.31 ± 0.09 μM, indicating that the compound is a Delta agonist.
[0053] Current research indicates that opioid Delta receptors are associated with conditions such as pain, anxiety, and depression. The compounds of this invention have a different core structure from existing Delta agonists, making them important for pharmacological research and clinical applications in diseases such as pain, anxiety, and depression.
