Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology. More specifically, it relates to a class of supersulfur compounds derived from marine fungi, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Sulfur, an essential element for the human body, plays a vital role in maintaining healthy hair, nails, and skin. In recent years, "supersulfides," composed of multiple sulfur atoms held together by elements such as carbon at both ends, have attracted much attention due to their unique biological activities. Studies have shown that these molecules not only have stronger antioxidant effects than vitamin E, but also exhibit various physiological functions such as anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity (Tsutsuki H, Zhang T, Akaike T, Sawa T. Regulation of innate immune and inflammatory responses by supersulfides. Int Immunol. 2024; 36(4):143-154). Of particular note is the significant effect of supersulfides on joint homeostasis and bone regeneration (Maemura M, Morita M, Ogata S, et al. Supersulfides contribute to joint homeostasis and bone regeneration. Redox Biol. 2025; 81:103545.), suggesting their important potential in the field of tissue repair.

[0003] Currently, commonly used skin damage repair drugs, such as recombinant human epidermal growth factor (EGF gel) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), need to be prepared through heterologous expression, which leads to problems such as high production costs, high technical difficulty, and unstable activity.

[0004] Therefore, the development of novel and highly effective tissue repair drugs has become an urgent need in clinical treatment, and supersulfides may provide a new solution for this due to their unique biological properties. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects and shortcomings of existing skin damage repair drugs that rely on heterologous expression for preparation, and to provide a class of supersulfur compounds.

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the supersulfur compound.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide applications of the supersulfur compound.

[0008] Another objective of this invention is to provide a skin damage repair drug.

[0009] The above-mentioned objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] This invention protects a class of supersulfur compounds, characterized in that the supersulfur compounds have the structure shown in formula (I) or (II):

[0011]

[0012] Furthermore, the supersulfur compound is replaced with its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

[0013] The present invention also protects a method for preparing the supersulfur compound, wherein the supersulfur compound is obtained by extraction, separation and purification of fermentation products of fungi derived from the stem of *Acorus calamus*.

[0014] The fungus derived from the stem of the sea calamus is named Aspergillus fumigatiaffinis SYSU-6786, and was deposited at the Guangdong Provincial Center for Microbial Culture Collection on June 18, 2025, with accession number GDMCC No: 66541.

[0015] Furthermore, the preparation method specifically includes the following steps:

[0016] S1. The fungus Aspergillus fumigatiaffinis SYSU-6786 was activated and cultured on a large scale to obtain the fermentation product;

[0017] S2. Soak the fermentation product obtained in step S1 in methanol, filter, remove the solvent from the filtrate to obtain crude extract, add ethyl acetate to extract, remove the solvent from the upper organic layer to obtain extract.

[0018] S3. The extract obtained in step S2 is subjected to silica gel column adsorption, and gradient elution is performed using methanol-water solution as the eluent. The fraction with a methanol-water volume ratio of 30:70 is collected.

[0019] S4. The fraction with a methanol-water volume ratio of 30:70 obtained in step S3 is separated and purified by high performance liquid chromatography to obtain the supersulfur compound.

[0020] Further, in step S3, the gradient elution is performed using methanol-water solution as the eluent, with the methanol-water volume ratios being 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, 40:60, 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 80:20, 90:10, and 100:0.

[0021] Furthermore, the conditions for high performance liquid chromatography in step S4 are as follows: the mobile phase is acetonitrile-water solution containing 0.1 vol% acetic acid, the flow rate is 3 mL / min, the detection wavelength is 254 nm, and the retention time is 0–40 min.

[0022] Further, the volume ratio of the acetonitrile to the aqueous solution containing 0.1 vol% acetic acid is (15-45):(85-55).

[0023] Specifically, the acetonitrile content in the mobile phase increases uniformly, with the volume percentage of acetonitrile gradually increasing from 15% to 45% within 40 minutes.

[0024] Furthermore, according to the method of the present invention, the supersulfur compounds can be distinguished by the elution order of the chromatographic peaks, wherein supersulfur compound (I) has a shorter retention time and elutes before supersulfur compound (II). Within a defined retention time range, the components corresponding to each chromatographic peak can be collected separately, and the structures of the obtained components can then be confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology.

[0025] Further, in step S3, the silica column is a reversed-phase silica column, specifically a Purospher STAR RP-18 column, 10×30cm, 5μm.

[0026] Furthermore, the chromatographic column used in the high-performance liquid chromatography is a semi-preparative column, specifically the Ultimate XB-C18 semi-preparative column, 10×250mm, 5μm; the instrument is an Essentia LC-16.

[0027] Furthermore, in step S1, the activation and expansion culture involves first preparing a seed culture solution and then carrying out fermentation culture.

[0028] Furthermore, the seed culture medium used in the preparation of the seed culture solution is PDB medium.

[0029] Preferably, the seed culture solution is prepared using a culture medium containing 25–35 g / L sea salt and 20–30 g / L PDB culture medium powder.

[0030] Furthermore, the PDB culture medium is a commercially available PDB culture medium.

[0031] Preferably, the seed culture medium is cultured under the following conditions: shaking speed of 100-200 rpm (preferably 150-180 rpm) and constant temperature culture at 25-30℃ for 3-5 days.

[0032] Furthermore, the culture medium used for the fermentation culture is rice culture medium.

[0033] Furthermore, the rice culture medium is prepared by mixing 40-50g of rice with 50mL of 2wt%-3wt% seawater. When needed, it can be sterilized at high temperature according to the above ratio.

[0034] Furthermore, the fermentation culture conditions are static culture at room temperature for 30 to 40 days.

[0035] Furthermore, the solvent removal is achieved by reducing pressure and concentrating the solvent.

[0036] This invention protects the use of the supersulfur compound in the preparation of skin damage repair drugs.

[0037] Preferably, the concentration of the supersulfur compound used on cells is 3–30 μmol / L (μM), more preferably 3.125–25 μM.

[0038] Furthermore, when the supersulfur compound has the structure shown in formula (I), the concentration of the supersulfur compound used on cells is 6 to 15 μM, preferably 6.25 to 12.5 μM.

[0039] Furthermore, when the supersulfur compound has the structure shown in formula (II), the concentration of the supersulfur compound used on cells is 3 to 30 μM, preferably 3.125 to 25 μM, and more preferably 6.25 to 12.5 μM.

[0040] Furthermore, the skin injury includes physical or chemical injury, specifically mechanical injury (such as abrasions, cuts, contusions, fractures, lacerations, punctures, gunshot wounds), temperature-related injury (burns, frostbite), electrical injury, corrosive injury, skin ulcers, etc.

[0041] Furthermore, the repair is to promote the repair and / or regeneration of skin wounds or scars.

[0042] Specifically, the repair promotes the migration and proliferation of HaCaT cells in the keratinocytes of the skin.

[0043] This invention also protects a skin damage repair drug, which includes one or two of the supersulfur compounds.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0045] This invention provides a class of supersulfur compounds that can promote the proliferation and migration of human skin keratinocytes, possessing the potential to repair skin damage and can be used to prepare skin damage repair drugs. Furthermore, these compounds can be obtained using fungi derived from the stems of *Acorus calamus* through modern microbial fermentation engineering technology, facilitating large-scale industrial production and demonstrating broad application potential and development value in the field of skin repair drugs.

[0073] Example 2 Extraction and characterization of supersulfur compounds (I) and (II)

[0074] The supersulfur compounds (I) and (II) of this embodiment can be isolated and purified from the fermentation broth of the fungus strain Aspergillus fumigatiaffinis SYSU-6786, which originates from the stem of Acorus calamus. The specific process is as follows:

[0075] S1. Inoculate the fungus Aspergillus fumigatiaffinis SYSU-6786 into the seed culture medium and culture it on a shaker (25℃, 150-180rpm) to obtain the seed culture solution;

[0076] S2. Inoculate the seed culture medium obtained in step S1 into the fermentation medium and culture it at room temperature for 5 weeks (i.e. 35 days) to obtain the fermentation product.

[0077] S3. Soak the fermentation product obtained in step S2 in methanol for 3 days, filter, take the filtrate and concentrate under reduced pressure and extract with ethyl acetate, take the upper organic layer and concentrate under reduced pressure to obtain crude extract.

[0078] S4. The crude extract obtained in step S3 was adsorbed onto a silica gel column (specifically a Purospher STAR RP-18 reverse silica gel column, 10×30cm) and sequentially eluted with methanol-water solutions of volume ratios of 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, 40:60, 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 80:20, 90:10, and 100:0. The fraction with a methanol-water volume ratio of 30:70 was collected.

[0079] S5. The methanol-water fraction obtained in step S3 with a volume ratio of 30:70 is separated and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC conditions are as follows: mobile phase: acetonitrile-water solution containing 0.1 vol% acetic acid (the volume ratio of acetonitrile to the water solution containing 0.1 vol% acetic acid is (15-45):(85-55), and the acetonitrile content increases uniformly within 0-40 min); column: semi-preparative column Ultimate XB-C18, 10×250 mm, 5 μm; instrument: Essentia LC-16; flow rate: 3 mL / min; detection wavelength: 254 nm; components with retention times of 0-40 min are collected. The first peak appearing within the provided retention time (0-40 min) is supersulfur compound (I), and the third peak is supersulfur compound (II). That is, this invention distinguishes the supersulfur compounds by the elution order of the chromatographic peaks, wherein supersulfur compound (I) has a shorter retention time and elutes before supersulfur compound (II). Within a defined retention time range, the components corresponding to each chromatographic peak can be collected separately, and the structures of the obtained components can then be confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology.

[0090] Example 3: Activity Test of Supersulfur Compounds

[0091] 1. Experimental materials:

[0092] 12-well plates for counting, trypsin, double antibiotics (streptomycin / penicillin), fetal bovine serum, incubator, PBS buffer, cell counting chamber.

[0093] 2. Experimental methods:

[0094] (1) Cell culture: HaCaT cells were cultured in DEME medium containing double antibiotics (streptomycin / penicillin, 1%) and fetal bovine serum (10%). The culture conditions were 37°C and 5% CO2 constant temperature incubator.

[0095] (2) Cell passage: When the cell density reaches 80% to 100%, remove the culture medium, wash gently with preheated PBS, add 2 mL of 0.05% trypsin to digest for 2 to 5 minutes until the cell edges become rounded or partially and completely detach from the culture dish, add 5 mL of fresh complete culture medium to stop digestion, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 2 minutes, discard the supernatant, add fresh complete culture medium to resuspend and passage culture at an appropriate ratio.

[0096] (3) Scratch test

[0097] DMSO was used as a solvent to prepare 10 mM mother liquors of supersulfur compound (I) and supersulfur compound (II).

[0098] Cells were seeded at a density of 15 mg / well in 12-well plates and incubated overnight in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C. The next day, cells were streaked, and each well was gently washed with 500 μL of pre-warmed PBS, followed by photographic recording. Using DMEM medium, 10 mM stock solutions of supersulfur compound (I) and supersulfur compound (II) were diluted to final concentrations of 3.125 μM, 6.25 μM, 12.5 μM, 25 μM, and 50 μM, and added to the 12-well plates, with photographic recording. After 48 h of incubation, the plates were photographed again.

[0099] (4) MTT cell viability / toxicity assay

[0100] Cells were seeded at a density of 5000 cells / well in 96-well plates (margin wells were filled with sterile PBS) and incubated overnight in a 5% CO2, 37°C incubator. The next day, the culture medium was discarded, and the cells were carefully rinsed 1-2 times with PBS. 100 μL of a compound diluted with DMEM medium was added to each experimental well (the compound was diluted with DMSO at a stock concentration of 10 mM, ensuring a final DMSO concentration <1%). Only 100 μL of DMEM medium was added to each negative control well (this was the untreated group, or cn group). Cells were incubated at this temperature for 48 hours, then culture medium containing 1% MTT (5 mg / mL) was added. After another 4 hours of incubation in the dark, the culture medium was carefully aspirated from each well, and 150 μL of DMSO was added to each well. The plates were then shaken at 300 rpm for 10 minutes, and the absorbance was measured at 570 nm. Cell viability was calculated as [(experimental wells - blank wells) / (negative control wells - blank wells)] × 100%. The wells include negative control wells (containing cell-containing culture medium and MTT) and blank wells (containing cell-free and test-substance-free culture medium, MTT, and DMSO).

[0103] Depend on Figure 11 It is evident that supersulfur compound (I) at a final concentration ≤12.5 μM and supersulfur compound (II) at a final concentration ≤50 μM did not exhibit cytotoxicity against human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Furthermore, supersulfur compound (II) significantly improved the survival rate of HaCaT cells at concentrations of 3.125 μM, 6.25 μM, and 12.5 μM.

[0104] In summary, the supersulfur compounds (I) and (II) of this invention have a certain effect on promoting the proliferation and migration of human skin keratinocytes (HaCaT cells), and can be considered as lead compounds for subsequent drug development at appropriate concentrations.
