Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology, and particularly relates to a compound irpelacerin C, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in the preparation of anti-inflammatory drugs. Background Art

[0002] Casuarina equisetifolia L., also known as horsetail tree or hairy beard, is a deep-rooted tree of the Casuarina family. It was introduced to China over 80 years ago. Native to Australia and the Pacific Islands, it is cultivated in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian provinces of China. The traditional medicinal properties of Casuarina equisetifolia were first documented in the Xinhua Compendium of Materia Medica. Its bark, branches, leaves, and seeds are all used medicinally, primarily to treat colds and coughs, hernias, diarrhea caused by cold and dampness, urinary incontinence, and athlete's foot.

[0003] Microorganisms are a rich resource for natural product research. Advanced genome sequencing technologies reveal that microorganisms possess greater biosynthetic capabilities than previously anticipated. Plant endophytes, a highly diverse group of organisms, are considered an excellent option for sustainable agricultural development. They are gaining increasing attention due to their widespread distribution, variability, and diverse and novel chemical compositions. Among them, endophytic fungi, present in nearly every plant species, are widely considered a significant source of active natural compounds. They offer new avenues for sustainable development in medicine, agriculture, and industry, representing a valuable treasure trove worthy of exploration.

[0004] Inflammation is the immune system's first response to external stress and injury and serves as a protective mechanism. It is often accompanied by localized symptoms of redness, swelling, fever, and pain, and in extreme cases, can be fatal. Inflammation is generally characterized by the production and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), nitric oxide (NO), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The vast majority of currently developed anti-inflammatory drugs, primarily glucocorticoids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), are designed to inhibit the production and secretion of these proinflammatory cytokines. Due to their widespread clinical use, these drugs have been found to have adverse effects that can be detrimental to the body. Glucocorticoids can inhibit the expression of proinflammatory genes, but they carry the risk of initiating and exacerbating infections. Furthermore, long-term, high-dose use of glucocorticoids in clinical practice can lead to Cushing's syndrome, sodium and water retention, and an increased risk of hypertension. NSAIDs achieve their antipyretic and analgesic effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) activity, thereby blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins. Because prostaglandins protect the gastric mucosa, the use of NSAIDs can cause a variety of gastrointestinal reactions, including loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and even severe myocardial infarction and stroke. Under the principle of rational medication, safer drugs should be used whenever possible. Therefore, identifying natural compounds with no toxic side effects and good efficacy to replace traditional anti-inflammatory drugs is a major challenge that needs to be addressed in the clinical treatment of inflammatory diseases.

[0005] Natural products have stronger pharmacological activity and lower toxicity, and can be used as potential resources for the development of natural anti-inflammatory drugs. Although natural products have limited therapeutic effects on the severe symptoms of certain chronic diseases, they are more effective in relieving mild pain in the early stages of these diseases. Current studies have found that natural products with anti-inflammatory activity include polysaccharides, flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenes, natural pigments, plant volatile oils, quinones and other compounds. In order to discover natural products with significant activity, this application isolated an endophytic fungus Irpex laceratus SC4004 from a sample of the medicinal plant Casuarina equisetifolia. By isolating and purifying the solid fermentation product of rice of this strain, we obtained a new squalene-type triterpenoid compound, which can inhibit the production of nitric oxide (NO) and has the potential to be developed into an anti-inflammatory drug.

The potato glucose liquid culture medium is prepared by the following method per liter: 200g of potatoes are boiled in 1000mL of pure water for 20 minutes, 20g of glucose, 3g of KH2PO4, 1.5g of MgSO4, and 10mg of vitamin B1 are added after filtering, and water is added to make up to 1000mL, and the culture medium is sterilized.

4. The preparation method according to claim 3, characterized in that The high performance liquid phase purification was performed using a YMCpack ODS-A / AQ column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile / water in a volume ratio of 78:22 at a flow rate of 2 mL / min to obtain the compound irpelacerin C. R =62min.

5. The preparation method according to claim 3, characterized in that The step a of preparing a solid fermentation culture of the Casuarina endophytic fungus Irpex laceratus SC4004 comprises the following steps: on a clean bench under sterile conditions, the Irpex laceratus SC4004 strain is transferred to a sterilized potato glucose liquid culture medium, and cultured on a shaking table at 28°C and 150 r / min for 7 days to obtain a fungal seed liquid, 90 mL of water is added to every 100 g of rice, and the rice culture medium is obtained by sterilization, the cultured seed liquid is poured into the sterilized rice culture medium, and the culture is incubated at 28°C for 30 days. After fermentation is completed, a solid fermentation culture is obtained.

6. Use of the compound irpelacerin C according to claim 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in the preparation of an anti-inflammatory drug.

7. An anti-inflammatory drug, characterized in that The invention comprises the compound irpelacerin C or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to claim 1 as an active ingredient.

8. Use of the endophytic fungus Irpex lacerates SC4004 from Casuarina equisetifolia in the preparation of the compound irpelacerin C according to claim 1.
