Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology and relates to ( R )-Carvone (i.e., L-carvone) was used as the starting material to prepare 1,10-split-ring guaiacyl sesquiterpene lactone pseudo-natural products and their derivatives through chemical synthesis, and the anti-inflammatory activity of these compounds was tested in an established erythrocyte hemolysis model. Background Art

[0002] Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, nonspecific inflammatory disease of the intestine with two clinical subtypes: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). IBD is more common in young and middle-aged adults. In recent years, the incidence of IBD has been increasing, making it a major threat to intestinal health after colorectal cancer. Furthermore, if the disease persists, patients may develop complications such as intestinal perforation, obstruction, intra-abdominal abscesses, and even toxic megacolon, severely impacting their quality of life and causing significant suffering.

[0003] The NLRP3 inflammasome is an organelle composed of the NLRP3 scaffold, the adaptor protein ASC, and caspase-1. Studies have shown that the NLRP3 inflammasome is closely associated with the development of several major human diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease. Although NLRP3 has gradually become an important target for drug development for inflammatory diseases, no drug has been developed since its discovery.

[0004] Sesquiterpene lactones exhibit significant anti-inflammatory potential due to their ability to target and inhibit key pro-inflammatory molecules involved in diverse inflammatory pathways and prevent or reduce inflammatory tissue damage. Although sesquiterpene lactones represent an important source for the discovery of novel anti-inflammatory compounds, only a few studies have reported on the anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anticancer effects of 1,10-split-ring guaiacolides. In fact, unmodified natural products suffer from numerous deficiencies in their pharmacological activity and drugability. For example, a 1,10-split-ring guaiacolide sesquiterpene lactone (IF-37) reported in "Chemical Constituents and Biological Activities of Four Inula Plants" was found to have low anti-inflammatory activity after experimental evaluation. The concept of pseudo-natural products (PNPs) stems from novel evolutionary strategies aimed at discovering bioactive compounds. However, there are currently no reports on the use of these compounds and their derivatives as active anti-inflammatory ingredients. Summary of the Invention

[0099] (3) Experimental instruments: enzyme-labeled analyzer, etc.

[0100] 6.2 Experimental plan For the red blood cell hemolysis model, hemolysis refers to the rupture or destruction of red blood cells (RBCs), resulting in the release of hemoglobin and other cellular contents into the surrounding environment.

[0101] Erythrocytes were incubated with various concentrations of small molecule compounds (0 µM, 2 µM, 4 µM, 8 µM, and 16 µM) at 37°C for 30 min. Compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5, II-1, III-9, IV-2, V-22, VI-4, or MCC950 (as a positive control) were then stimulated with nigericin at a final concentration of 1 µM for 50 min (i.e., the N+0 µM, N+2 µM, N+4 µM, N+8 µM, and N+16 µM groups in Table 1). In the model group (i.e., the N+0 µM group in Table 1), nigericin induced pyroptosis, leading to cell death and hemoglobin efflux. After treatment, hemoglobin was quantified using a kit. The activity of the small molecule compound was determined based on the proportionality between hemoglobin content and absorbance (OD505).

[0102] Table 1. Experimental groups and treatments

[0103] Note: In Table 1, the total volume of each group is 200 μL, N represents Nigericin, the final concentration of Nigericin in the system is 1 μM, X represents compounds Ⅰ-1, Ⅰ-2, Ⅰ-3, Ⅰ-4, Ⅰ-5, Ⅱ-1, Ⅲ-9, Ⅳ-2, Ⅴ-22, Ⅵ-4 or MCC950 (the solvent for preparing the solution is 0.9% saline), and NS represents 0.9% saline.

[0104] 6.3 Experimental steps S1: Pipette 1 mL of normal saline (0.9% NaCl) and add it to a 1.5 mL EP tube.

[0105] S2: Pipette 100 µL of the lower layer of red blood cells (i.e., the red blood cells separated from the blood) and add them to an EP tube containing 1.5 mL of normal saline.

[0106] S3 was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 min.

[0107] S4 After centrifugation, discard 1 mL of supernatant, add 1 mL of normal saline, and centrifuge again at 3000 r / min for 5 min.

[0108] S5 After centrifugation, the supernatant is discarded and the remaining is the required red blood cells (the red blood cell washing is now completed).

[0109] S6 Prepare suspensions of physiological saline and red blood cells according to the 7 groups of schemes in Table 1.

[0110] S7 Add the small molecule compound to be tested into the red blood cell suspension of the corresponding group at 0 µL, 32 µL, 0 µL, 4 µL, 8 µL, 16 µL, and 32 µL, respectively (so that the final concentrations of the small molecule compound in the Control, 16 µM, N+0 µM, N+2 µM, N+4 µM, N+8 µM, and N+16 µM groups are: 0 µM, 16 µM, 0 µM, 2 µM, 4 µM, 8 µM, and 16 µM, respectively) and incubate at 37°C for 30 min.

[0111] After the S8 incubation, 4 μL of Nigericin was added to the N+0 μM, N+2 μM, N+4 μM, N+8 μM, and N+16 μM groups and incubated at 37 °C for 50 min.

[0112] After the S9 incubation, the cells were centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 3 min.

[0113] S10: Aspirate the supernatant and set aside.

[0114] S11 Detect hemoglobin in the supernatant using a plasma free hemoglobin assay kit (detection conditions: react at 37°C for 20 min after adding the reagent).

[0115] After the S12 reaction was completed, the absorbance at a wavelength of 505 nm was measured using a microplate reader.

[0116] 6.4 Experimental Results like Figure 13 As shown in the experimental results, using the release of hemoglobin from erythrocytes stimulated with nigericin after 30 minutes of co-incubation with MCC950 as a reference (absorbance detection), compounds I-1 (the absorbance value decreased with increasing I-1 concentration, indicating that the concentration of free hemoglobin gradually decreased, indicating that erythrocyte hemolysis was alleviated with increasing I-1 concentration), I-3, II-1 (a comparison of the absorbance values ​​of II-1 at different concentrations revealed that its absorbance value decreased with increasing drug concentration, indicating that II-1 could reduce hemoglobin concentration and thus inhibit erythrocyte hemolysis), III-9, IV-2, and VI-4 all exhibited significant inhibitory effects on erythrocyte hemolysis induced by the induced activation reagent nigericin at a treatment concentration of 4 µM, with inhibitory effects superior to or comparable to those of MCC950. Compounds I-1 and II-1 exhibited the greatest inhibitory effects at treatment concentrations of 2 µM and 4 µM, respectively. These results suggest that 1,10-split-ring guaiacyl sesquiterpene lactone compounds (or 1,10-split-ring guaiacyl sesquiterpene lactone pseudo-natural products) represented by compound Ⅰ-3 and compounds derived therefrom have a certain inhibitory effect on erythrocyte hemolysis and can be used as candidate drug molecules for preventing and / or treating NLRP3 inflammasome-related diseases.

[0117] Figure 13 The results of each parallel experiment in the N+0 μM group fluctuated (OD505 values ​​were high and low), which may be due to the differences in the red blood cells used in the experiments with different small molecule compounds.

[0118] In summary, based on the synthesis of 1,10-split-ring guaiacyl sesquiterpenoid lactone pseudo-natural products and their derivatives, the present invention discovered novel 1,10-split-ring guaiacyl sesquiterpenoid lactone compounds that have a significant inhibitory effect on erythrocyte hemolysis. These compounds have high application value in the development of anti-inflammatory drugs (especially anti-inflammatory drugs for the prevention and / or treatment of NLRP3-related inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease) (e.g., large-scale synthesis and screening of drug molecules with anti-inflammatory activity, and use as active ingredients in the preparation of anti-inflammatory drugs).
