AI Technical Summary
In the prior art, iridoaldehyde-type triterpenoid Iridobelamal A has significant inhibitory activity against non-small cell lung cancer, but its cytotoxicity to normal lung epithelial cells limits its clinical application. Flavonoid components in Belamcanda chinensis, such as Belamcanda glycoside, still exhibit toxicity when used alone, making it difficult to reduce toxicity and achieve synergistic effects through component combination.
By combining Iridobelamal A with iris dichotin in a molar ratio of 1:2 to 1:5, adding iris dichotin B, and using a nanoliposome carrier preparation method including thin film dispersion and sonication, nanoliposomes were formed for the preparation of an anti-non-small cell lung cancer drug.
While reducing the toxicity of iris aldehyde triterpenoids to normal lung cells, it enhances antitumor activity by neutralizing the toxicity of triterpenoids, regulating the tumor microenvironment, protecting normal cells, improving bioavailability, enhancing targeted delivery of the components, and reducing toxic side effects.

[0050] Example 1
[0051] 10 kg of dried Belamcanda chinensis was coarsely pulverized and extracted twice with 10-15 times its volume of 75% ethanol, each time for 6 days. The filtrates from the two extractions were combined, and the solvent was recovered under reduced pressure to obtain a concentrated alcohol extract, yielding approximately 3467.0 g of total extract. The concentrated alcohol extract was then extracted sequentially with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol (10 L each × 3 times). The extracts were combined and concentrated to obtain the following fractions: petroleum ether layer (CSS 6.8 g), ethyl acetate layer (CSY 1557.1 g), n-butanol layer (CSZ 403.2 g), and aqueous phase (CSW 1403.5 g). Each fraction was then concentrated under reduced pressure.
[0052] 1500g of CSY was fully dissolved and mixed with an equal amount of silica gel powder (80-100 mesh). The mixture was loaded onto a silica gel column and eluted using a chloroform-methanol gradient system (50:1, 30:1, 20:1, 10:1, 8:1:5:1, 1:1). The column was then rinsed with methanol and water. Fractions were collected according to column volume and combined into 11 fractions (Fr.Y1-Y11) based on TLC and HPLC analysis. Fraction Fr.Y3 was concentrated under reduced pressure to recover the solvent and yielded a pale yellow solid. After repeated washing with alcohol and filtration, compound 5 (2460.0 mg) was obtained as a pale yellow amorphous powder. Fraction Fr.Y8 precipitated a white solid and, after repeated washing with alcohol and filtration, yielded compound 8 (316.4 mg).
[0053] A large amount of pale yellow solid precipitated from fraction Fr.Y1. To facilitate subsequent separation, the precipitated solid was filtered, dried, and stored. A portion of the solid was repeatedly washed with alcohol and filtered to obtain a white powder, compound 6 (480.0 mg). The remaining filtrate (estimated weight 375.3 g) was eluted with a silica gel column using a petroleum ether-ethyl acetate gradient (10:1, 8:1, 5:1, 2:1, 1:1). The fraction collected under a 2:1 gradient elution precipitated yellow crystals, which was compound 7. The remaining fractions were analyzed by TLC and HPLC and combined into seven sub-fractions, Sub.Fr.Y1-1 to Sub.Fr.Y1-7. Sub.Fr.Y1-4 (62.0 g) was repeatedly eluted with silica gel column and Sephadex LH-20 gel column to obtain compound 9 (144.3 mg). Sub.Fr.Y1-5 (68.2 g) was analyzed by silica gel column and ODS column, and the fractions were combined into 11 sub-fractions (Sub.Fr.Y1-5-1 to 11) by TLC and HPLC. Among them, Sub.Fr.Y1-5-3 was analyzed by silica gel column, ODS column, and then HPLC (80% methanol-water, 210 / 254 nm) to obtain compound 4 (50.1 mg, t R =45min);
[0054] 380g of CSZ was dissolved in low-concentration ethanol-water solution and then loaded onto a D101 macroporous resin column. The solution was eluted sequentially with water, 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 95% ethanol. The eluted fractions were collected and concentrated under reduced pressure to recover the solvent, yielding extracts of each fraction. CSZ-D101-30% E (83.5g) was eluted with a silica gel column using a chloroform-methanol gradient (20:1→1:1), yielding nine fractions, Sub.Fr.Z1-Z9. Sub.Fr.Z5 (5.5g) was eluted with both silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 gel columns to obtain compound 13.

The membrane was then sonicated (300 W, 15 min, ice bath). Homogenization was performed using microfluidics (10000 psi, 3 times) to obtain a liposome suspension (particle size 105 ± 10 nm), which was a ternary nanoliposome assembly.
[0082] Comparative Example 1
[0083] Oral preparation of Iridobelamal A monomer: The amount of the corresponding active ingredient is the same as in Example 3. Specifically, 21.2 μmol of Iridobelamal A obtained by the method in Example 1 above is added to 5 mL of 10% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) aqueous solution and vortexed for 30 min to form an inclusion complex, thus obtaining the Iridobelamal A monomer group.

[0090] Comparative Example 5
[0091] The oral preparation of the drug composition is basically the same as in Example 3, except that the iris flavin is replaced with iris flavin A (compound 6), iris flavin B (compound 7), iris flavin (compound 8), and wild iris flavin (compound 9), respectively, to obtain binary groups of compound 6, compound 7, compound 8, and compound 9, respectively.
[0092] Experiment 1: Tumor-bearing lung cancer mouse model experiment:
[0093] Experimental methods:
[0094] 1. Animal Model Construction
[0095] SPF-grade female BALB / c mice (5 weeks old, weighing 18-22g) were selected and subcutaneously inoculated with A549 cells (1×10⁻⁶). 7 Apply 0.2 mL of the solution to the left forearm axilla until the tumor reaches a size of 50 mm. 3 The mice were then divided into groups of n=10. The specific grouping details are as follows:
[0096] Model group: administered physiological saline.
[0097] Example 2 group: using a binary injection (Iridobelamal A: Iridobelamal = 1:3).
[0098] Example 3 group: Iris flavin medium-dose binary group, administered orally.
[0099] Example 4 group: Iris flavin low-dose binary group, administered orally.
[0100] Example 5 group: high-dose iris flavin binary group, administered orally.
[0101] Example 6 group: ternary mixed group, administered orally.
[0102] Example 7 group: Ternary nanoliposome group, administered orally.
[0103] Positive control group: Cisplatin was administered at a dose of 60 mg / kg via intraperitoneal injection.
[0104] 2. Dosing regimen
[0105] The oral administration group received daily gavage at a dose of 200 μL / kg; the injection group received intraperitoneal injection every other day, with the entire experiment lasting 30 days. Dosage was calculated based on the active ingredient, with Iridobelamal A fixed at 21.2 μmol and iris dichotin adjusted proportionally (iris dichotin was 42.4 μmol in Example 4; 63.6 μmol in Example 3; and 106 μmol in Example 5). The ternary group consisted of iris dichotin B 21.2 μmol + Iridobelamal A 21.2 μmol + iris dichotin 63.6 μmol.
[0106] 3. Indicator Testing
[0107] The long diameter (a) and short diameter (b) of the tumor are measured every 3 days, according to the formula V = ab. 2 / 2 Calculate tumor volume. After the last administration, mice were sacrificed, tumors were removed and weighed, and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated according to the formula. The correct formula for calculating the tumor inhibition rate should be: Tumor inhibition rate (%) = (1 - average tumor weight of the treatment group / average tumor weight of the model group) × 100.
[0108] Experimental results:
[0109] Regarding changes in tumor volume, the ternary nanoliposome group in Example 7 showed the best tumor-suppressing effect, with a tumor volume of 125±15 mm on day 30. 3 The value was significantly lower than that of other groups (P<0.001).
[0110] The average tumor weight in the model group mice was 1.82 ± 0.21 g (n = 10). The tumor inhibition rate was recalculated according to the formula as follows: Example 7 group (ternary nanoliposomes): (1 - 0.32 / 1.82) × 100 ≈ 82.4%;
[0111] Example 6 (ternary mixture group): (1-0.41 / 1.82)×100≈77.5%;
[0112] Example 3 group (medium-dose binary group): (1-0.48 / 1.82)×100≈73.6%;
[0113] Example 5 group (high-volume binary group): (1-0.50 / 1.82)×100≈72.5%;
[0114] Example 4 (low-volume binary group): (1-0.49 / 1.82)×100≈73.1%;
[0115] In terms of tumor weight comparison, the tumor weight of the Example 7 group was the lowest (0.32±0.05g), which was 22% lower than that of Example 6 (0.41±0.06g) and better than the positive control group (cisplatin, 0.47±0.06g).
[0116] The experimental results show that the ternary nanoliposome group (Example 7) significantly inhibited tumor growth by enhancing targeted delivery, and its effect was better than that of the ternary mixed group (Example 6) and the binary group (Examples 3-5). This demonstrates the key role of nano-formulation in synergistic anti-tumor activity.
[0117] Experiment 2: In vitro A549 cell model experiment:
[0118] Experimental methods:
[0119] 1. Cell Culture and Drug Delivery
[0120] A549 cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 1 × 10⁶ cells per well. 4 Cells were individually treated with the drugs from each example and comparative example, with drug concentration gradients ranging from 0 to 100 μmol / L. Grouping was the same as in the mouse model, with the addition of comparative examples 1-5 (monomers and alternative combinations).
[0121] 2. MTT assay
[0122] After incubation for 48 hours, MTT (5 mg / mL) was added, and after 4 hours, the crystals were dissolved in DMSO and measured at 490 nm (A). Cell viability and IC50 value were calculated according to the formula: viability (%) = (drug-treated group A - blank group A) / (control group A - blank group A) × 100.
[0123] Experimental results:
[0124] IC50 value comparison (the lower the IC50 value, the stronger the inhibitory effect):
[0125] Example group:
[0126] Example 7 (ternary nanoliposomes): 10.2 ± 0.7 μmol / L;
[0127] Example 6 (ternary mixture): 12.5 ± 1.1 μmol / L;
[0128] Example 3 (medium-dose binary group): 18.3 ± 1.5 μmol / L;
[0129] Example 2 (binary injection): 18.6 ± 1.4 μmol / L;
[0130] Examples 4 / 5 (low / high amount binary): 21.4±1.8 / 20.9±1.7 μmol / L;
[0131] Comparative example group:
[0132] Comparative Example 1 (Iridobelamal A monomer): 18.5 ± 1.6 μmol / L;
[0133] Comparative Examples 2-3 (irisdichotin B monomer): >100 μmol / L (no inhibition);
[0134] Comparative Example 4 (monomers of compounds 6-9): >100 μmol / L (no inhibition);
[0135] Comparative Example 5 (compounds 6-9): 28.7-35.2 μmol / L (all worse than Example 3);
[0136] The experimental results show that the ternary nanoliposomes (Example 7) have a strong inhibitory effect on A549, while the iris flavonoid monomer (Comparative Example 2) has no inhibitory effect on A549. The substitution of flavonoid combination (Comparative Example 5) affects the inhibitory effect of Iridobelamal A monomer on A549. It can be seen that the combination of Iridobelamal A and iris flavonoid has the effect of enhancing the apoptosis-inducing effect of triterpenoids on tumor cells.
[0137] Experiment 3: In vitro BEAS-2B cell model experiment:
[0138] Experimental methods:
[0139] 1. Toxicity assessment
[0140] BEAS-2B cells (normal human lung epithelial cells) were seeded in 96-well plates, and the drug administration regimen was the same as in the A549 experiment. Cell viability at 48 h was detected by the MTT assay, and the IC50 value was calculated (a higher IC50 value indicates lower toxicity).
[0141] Experimental results:
[0142] IC50 value comparison (higher is safer):
[0143] Example group:
[0144] Example 7 (ternary nanoliposomes): >200 μmol / L;
[0145] Example 6 (ternary mixture): 152.3 ± 10.6 μmol / L;
[0146] Example 5 (high-volume binary): 69.7 ± 7.2 μmol / L;
[0147] Example 3 (medium-volume binary group): 85.4 ± 5.8 μmol / L;
[0148] Example 4 (low-level binary group): 63.1 ± 5.3 μmol / L;
[0149] Example 2 (binary injection): 76.2 ± 6.1 μmol / L;
[0150] Comparative example group:
[0151] Comparative Example 1 (Iridobelamal A monomer): 11.3 ± 1.1 μmol / L (most toxic)
[0152] Comparative Examples 2-3 (irisdichotin B monomer): 22.5±1.8 / 23.2±1.9 μmol / L
[0153] Comparative Example 4 (monomers of compounds 6-9): 18.5-20.9 μmol / L
[0154] Comparative Example 5 (compounds 6-9): 42.3-48.7 μmol / L (all lower than Example 3)
[0155] The experimental results show that the ternary nanoliposomes (Example 7) exhibited the lowest cytotoxicity to normal cells (IC50 > 200 μmol / L), significantly superior to other groups. The combination of Iridobelamal A and iris flavin at a molar ratio of 1:2 to 1:5 effectively neutralized the toxicity of triterpenes to normal lung cells (BEAS-2B) while maintaining antitumor activity against non-small cell lung cancer cells (A549). The addition of irisdichotin B (Examples 6-7) further mitigated the toxicity of Iridobelamal A.
[0156] Experiment 4: Verification of the oxidative damage neutralization mechanism:
[0157] 1. Experimental Methods:
[0158] Four groups were set up using the BEAS-2B cell model:
[0159] Group A: Blank control group;
[0160] Group B: Iridobelamal A monomer (20 μM);
[0161] Group C: Iridobelamal A + Iridobelamal (20 + 60 μM);
[0162] Group D: Iridobelamal A + irisdichotin B (20 + 60 + 20 μM);
[0163] Detection indicators: reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity;
[0164] 2. Experimental Results:
[0165] ROS level (percentage relative to the blank group):
[0166] Group B: 285±21%;
[0167] Group C: 142±15%;
[0168] Group D: 108±8%;
[0169] SOD activity (U / mg protein):
[0170] Group B: 12.3±1.4;
[0171] Group C: 25.6±2.0;
[0172] Group D: 32.8±2.3;
[0173] GSH-Px activity (U / mg protein):
[0174] Group B: 9.8±0.9;
[0175] Group C: 20.1±1.6;
[0176] Group D: 26.9±1.9;
[0177] Statistical difference: p<0.05 between group D and group C;
[0178] The experimental results show that irisdichotin B restored the ROS level of the ternary combination to near normal (108%) and significantly increased the activities of SOD and GSH-Px (28% and 34% higher than the binary combination), indicating that it neutralizes oxidative damage induced by Iridobelamal A by activating the antioxidant system.
