Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plasmalogens, and particularly to a preparation method and application of an amide plasmalogen compound. Background Art

[0002] Plasmalogens are a special class of phospholipid representatives, accounting for about 10% of the total cellular phospholipids. They are glycerophospholipids containing vinyl ether bonds, such as plasmenylethanolamine, plasmenylcholine, plasmenylserine, etc. The main characteristics are that they contain a vinyl ether bond at the sn-1 position, and in mammals, they are usually linked to fatty alcohols of c16:0; 18:0 or 18:1, and mostly n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids at sn-2. Most plasmalogens are concentrated in the "lipid raft" structure of biological membranes, participating in cell fusion, ion transport, and cholesterol transport, being rich in organs such as the brain and heart, and at the same time, they can also act as important antioxidants on the plasma membrane to avoid damage to nerve cells.

[0003] Currently, the results of many studies have shown that the decrease in plasmalogen content is related to many diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Zellweger syndrome, etc. Among them, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most common dementia. There is a positive correlation between the severity of Alzheimer's disease and the reduction of plasmalogens. Many animal experiments and clinical trials have also confirmed that plasmalogens can improve the learning ability and memory of patients with mild cognitive impairment, mild Alzheimer's disease, and mouse models.

[0004] Plasmalogens are obtained by chemical synthesis or extraction from animal tissues. For example, the invention patent with the publication number CN110621683B discloses cyclic plasmenylethanolamine and its chemical synthesis method. However, due to the need for a large amount of chemical substances and the generation of potential hazardous waste during the chemical synthesis process, the application of the chemical synthesis method is limited. Plasmalogens can also be prepared from marine animals or animal tissues, and so far, most still rely on extracting lipids from organisms rich in plasma hormones, but the plasmalogen content in these natural materials is very low, only accounting for less than 10% of the phospholipids in the cell membranes of the tissues used, thereby limiting their wide application.

Stir and react for 12 - 15 h, and a solid is obtained after removing the solvent by adding water; the solid is stirred and reacted again in a mixed solution of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and dichloromethane (CH 2 Cl 2 ) (volume ratio is 1:1) for 20 - 30 min, and the addition ratio of the solid to the mixed solution is 150 - 200 mg:5 mL. After removing the solvent, a colorless oil is obtained to obtain Compound 2.

[0050] Among them, the expression of CarF protein includes the following steps:

[0051] Bacterial culture: The myxobacteria and Bacillus subtilis were activated and cultured in test tubes. The culture temperature of the myxobacteria was 30 °C, and that of Bacillus subtilis was 37 °C. The genomic DNA was extracted and the target genes CarF and Mistic were amplified. The plasmid pet28a, CarF, and Mistic were used to obtain the recombinant plasmid pet28a-Mistic-CarF under the action of recombinase.

[0052] The recombinant plasmid pet28a-Mistic-CarF was used for the co-expression of Mistic-CarF in Escherichia coli OverExpreessC43(DE3) cells. The cells were cultured at 37 °C until the OD 600 was between 0.8 and 1.0. Before induction with isopropyl-β-thiogalactoside (IPTG), the culture was ice-bathed for 30 - 40 min. Isopropyl-β-thiogalactoside (IPTG) was added to a final concentration of 0.2 mM to induce the expression of T7-dependent genes. The culture was shaken at 37 °C for 4 - 5 h. Finally, the bacteria were collected and washed.

[0053] Among them, the myxobacteria ( Myxococcus xanthus ), Bacillus subtilis ( Bacillus subtilis ) used for the expression of CarF protein were purchased from the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center, with the preservation numbers CGMCC1.3865 and CGMCC1.8886 respectively. Escherichia coli OverExpreessC43(DE3) and DH5α used for the expression of CarF protein were preserved in this laboratory.

[0054] The medium used for myxobacteria: 5 g of yeast powder, 1.36 g of CaCl 2 and 0.5 mg of vitamin B12 were dissolved in 1 L of water, and then autoclaved at 121 °C for 20 min in a high-pressure sterilizer.

[0055] The media used for Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli: 10 g of NaCl, 5 g of yeast extract, and 10 g of peptone were dissolved in 1 L of water, and then autoclaved at 121 °C for 20 min in a high-pressure sterilizer.

[0056] Among them, the purification of CarF protein includes the following steps:

[0057] The collected bacteria were resuspended in buffer A (20 mM Tris / HCl (pH 8.0) and 150 mM NaCl), and then sonicated on ice to produce a lysate.

[0058] Subsequently, the cell lysate was centrifuged to remove cell debris (4000×g, 4 °C, 15 min), and then added to buffer A containing 1 wt% dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) to dissolve the proteins in the insoluble fraction for 2 - 3 h. Then, insoluble impurities in E. coli were removed (15,000×g, 4 °C, 90 min), and the detergent DPC-soluble fraction was filtered through a 0.45-μm filter membrane using a syringe. Finally, purification was performed by AKTA and HisTrapHP affinity chromatography, and washing was carried out with buffer B (20 mM Tris / HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 700 mM imidazole, and 0.02 wt% DPC) to finally obtain the target protein.

Then, dissolve 480 mg of dodecanedioic anhydride in 16 mL of tetrahydrofuran solution, and add it to the 5'-AMP solution in two portions. After adding, a white suspension is formed, and the suspension is continuously stirred at room temperature for 20 min, and the suspension becomes a clear solution.

[0062] (c) Post-extraction treatment: Add 40 mL of anhydrous ether, and vigorously stir the two-phase mixture for 5 min. Then, allow the two phases to stand still, and carefully remove the upper phase. Repeat the above steps twice. Then, add 7 mL of distilled water, stir, and continue to add 8 mL of hydrochloric acid solution (10 wt%) dropwise while stirring to adjust the pH to 3. Finally, add 80 mL of anhydrous ether for extraction and repeat this step once. Finally, separate the upper layer and transfer it to a Buchner funnel, wash it with 40 mL of anhydrous ether, and dry the final product to obtain Compound 1 (dodecanoic acid - AMP), as Figure 1 shown in the synthetic route of Compound 1.

[0085] d. Incubate the reaction at room temperature (20 °C) for 24 h without shaking or vortexing.

[0086] e. After the reaction is completed, add the resulting protein solution back into the concentrator tube and exchange the buffer 3 times to exchange the protein into the desired buffer (pH 8.0, containing 20 mM Tris and 0.15 M NaCl) and remove free Ni 2+ , as shown in B of Figure 5 and C of 5, and finally obtain a CarF protein with higher purity.

[0090] Dry the 2 mg resuspended solution of Compound 5 under nitrogen and, at 55 °C, use 1 mL of benzene and 2 mL of methanol solution containing 1 wt% H 2 SO 4 for acid hydrolysis overnight. Quench the reaction with 2 mL of 0.2 M KHCO 3 solution, gently mix with 5 mL of n-hexane containing 0.01 wt% BHT, and then centrifuge at 500×g for 3 min. Transfer the upper hexane phase to a separate tube, mix the lower layer with 5 mL of n-hexane again, transfer the upper phase, combine it with the upper hexane phase extracted for the first time, and dry it with nitrogen.

[0091] A triple quadrupole gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyzer (GC-MS; 7890B / 7000C, Agilent, USA) was used, with a DB-5 fused silica capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm); the flow rate of helium carrier gas was 1 mL / min, 1 μL of sample was injected, the column temperature was increased from 60 °C to 270 °C at a rate of 6 °C / min and held for 10 min; the inlet temperature, MSD transfer line, ion source, and quadrupole temperature were set at 250 °C, 280 °C, 230 °C, and 150 °C, respectively; the fixed electron energy was 70 eV, and the mass selective detector scan mode was 40 to 500 m / z.
