Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and relates to natural product drugs, specifically to a chalcone derivative, its preparation method, and its application in the preparation of anti-angiogenic drugs. Background Technology

[0002] Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in the development and progression of various diseases, such as malignant tumors, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic retinopathy, psoriasis, and atherosclerotic diseases. Especially in oncology, abnormally activated angiogenesis not only provides tumors with essential oxygen and nutrients but also promotes their proliferation, invasion, and distant metastasis, becoming a key factor in the formation and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment. Since Judah Folkman proposed anti-angiogenesis as a tumor treatment strategy in the 1970s, this field has rapidly developed into one of the core directions of cancer treatment. Currently, widely used anti-angiogenic drugs in clinical practice mainly fall into two categories: one is monoclonal antibodies targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or its receptors, such as bevacizumab; the other is multi-target small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as sunitinib. However, existing drugs still face many challenges, including primary or secondary drug resistance, significant toxic side effects such as hypertension and proteinuria, and problems such as pathway compensatory activation due to single-target targeting, which severely limit their long-term efficacy and clinical application. Therefore, the development of novel anti-angiogenic drugs has become an important research direction and an urgent clinical need. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a novel anti-angiogenic drug.

[0008] Thirdly, the present invention provides a drug for inhibiting angiogenesis, which is prepared from an active ingredient and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, wherein the active ingredient comprises the chalcone derivatives described in the present invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or stereoisomers thereof.

[0009] Fourthly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the chalcone derivative, comprising the following steps:

[0010] (1) Crush the branches and leaves of the guarful tree, extract them by percolation with an ethanol aqueous solution, concentrate the resulting extract to obtain a crude extract;

[0011] (2) The crude extract is suspended in water and then extracted with petroleum ether. The resulting extract is concentrated to obtain the petroleum ether extract fraction.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The present invention extracts, purifies and separates a novel chalcone derivative from Guafu wood. The compound is an oligomer formed by the combination of 2 chalcone fragments and 2 phenylpropionyl fragments, and has a 6 / 5-5 / 6 ring system. It is a chemical entity with a novel skeleton structure.

[0015] (2) The chalcone derivative prepared in this invention can significantly inhibit the formation of new blood vessels in vascular endothelial cells HMEC-1 and zebrafish at low concentrations, and can be used as a new chemical entity to prepare novel anti-angiogenic drugs.

[0070] Example 1: Preparation of Chalcone Derivatives

[0071] S1. Crush 23 kg of Guafu wood branches and leaves, and extract them four times with 95% (v / v) ethanol aqueous solution. The ratio of ethanol aqueous solution to Guafu wood is 2.0 L: 1 kg each time, and each time for 48 hours. Combine the extracts and concentrate them by vacuum distillation until there is no alcohol taste to obtain 2.6 kg of crude extract.

[0072] S2. The crude extract obtained in step S1 was added to distilled water at a ratio of 4 L of water to 1 kg of crude extract to obtain an aqueous suspension. Then, petroleum ether was added at a volume ratio of 1:1 to water for extraction, and the extraction was performed 5 times. The extracts were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 554 g of the petroleum ether extract fraction.

[0073] S3. The petroleum ether extract obtained in step S2 was subjected to silica gel column chromatography with petroleum ether-ethyl acetate as the eluent. Elution was carried out according to the volume ratio of petroleum ether to ethyl acetate of 100:0, 1000:1, 1000:3, 100:5, 100:1, 100:3, 100:5, 100:10, 100:20, 100:50, 100:100 and 0:100. After analysis by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), similar fractions were combined to obtain 14 main fractions Fr. 1 to Fr. 14.

[0074] S4. The fraction Fr. 11 (26.7 g) obtained in step S3 was concentrated under reduced pressure and then subjected to reverse ODS column chromatography. The methanol-water system was used as the eluent, and elution was carried out according to the elution gradient of methanol to water volume ratio of 40:60, 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 75:25, 80:20, 85:15, 90:10, 95:5 and 100:0 to obtain 10 fractions Fr. 11A~Fr. 11J.

[0075] S5. Collect the eluent fraction Fr. 11J obtained in step S4 with a methanol:water volume ratio of 100:0, concentrate it under reduced pressure, and load it onto a Sephadex LH-20 column. Elute with a dichloromethane-methanol solution with a volume ratio of 1:1 at a flow rate of 1 mL / min. Collect the eluent and analyze it by TLC to obtain 7 fractions Fr. 11Ja~Fr. 11Jg.

[0076] S6. The fifth fraction Fr. 11Je obtained in step S5 was concentrated under reduced pressure, dissolved in methanol, and then purified by reverse preparative HPLC. The chromatographic column was a Cosmosil C18 (10 × 250 mm, 5 μm) column, with acetonitrile-water at a volume ratio of 85:15 as the eluent and a flow rate of 3 mL / min. The eluent with a retention time of 28.5 min was collected and concentrated to obtain the chalcone derivative (colorless flaky crystals, 9.80 mg).

[0078] The chalcone derivatives extracted and separated in Example 1 were detected by ultraviolet, infrared, high-resolution mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the following experimental data were obtained:

[0079] UV (CH3CN) λmax (log ε) 237 (3.33), 285 (3.28) nm;

[0083] 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, 1 H- 1 The H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY NMR spectra are shown in [reference needed]. Figures 1-6 .

[0084] Single crystals of chalcone derivatives were obtained from a mixed solution of ethyl acetate and acetonitrile using a solvent evaporation method. Crystals with good crystal faces and suitable sizes were selected for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis using a Rigaku single-crystal diffractometer with Cu Kα target radiation at λ = 1.54184 Å as the light source. The collected diffraction data were analyzed using SHELXTL 6.14 and Olex 21.3.0 analysis software. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction data are shown in Table 2.

[0094] Example 3: Effects of chalcone derivatives on angiogenesis in HMEC-1 vascular endothelial cells

[0095] 1. Cell culture

[0096] HMEC-1 cells were seeded at a density of 3000 cells per well in 96-well plates and cultured overnight in a humid environment of 37°C and 5% CO2.

[0097] 2. Anti-HMEC-1 cell lumen formation experiment

[0098] HMEC-1 cells suspended in 100 μL of DMEM medium containing different concentrations of the test compounds were seeded into 96-well Matrigel-coated plates. After 6 hours of incubation, tubular structures were observed and photographed using an EVOS XL Core microscope (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The number of branch points was counted using Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software (Media Cybernetics, Rockville, Maryland, USA) to quantitatively analyze lumen formation.

[0099] See results Figure 8 The chalcone derivative prepared in this invention can significantly inhibit angiogenesis in vascular endothelial cells HMEC-1 at low concentrations.

[0100] Example 4: Effects of chalcone derivatives on angiogenesis in zebrafish

[0101] 1. Breeding and rearing of zebrafish embryos

[0102] Male and female transgenic zebrafish strain Tg(fli-1a:EGFP)y1 (characterized by enhanced green fluorescent protein expression in vascular endothelial cells), obtained from the zebrafish screening platform of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, were placed in a breeding box containing E3 embryo culture medium. A transparent plate separated the males and females. After the females laid eggs, the plate was removed, and healthy, normally developing fertilized embryos were collected. The embryos were then cultured in E3 embryo culture medium at 28.5℃. Six hours after fertilization, 0.003% PTU was added to the culture medium to inhibit melanin production, and the culture medium was replaced promptly. Unfertilized or abnormally developing dead embryos were removed.

[0103] 2. Compound intervention

[0104] (1) Solution preparation

[0105] A high-concentration stock solution was prepared by dissolving the chalcone derivative in DMSO. Before use, the stock solution was diluted with E3 embryo culture medium to prepare working solutions of 80 μM and 40 μM for the chalcone derivative.

[0106] (2) Experimental grouping

[0107] The experiment was divided into three groups: a blank control group (containing only E3 embryo culture medium), a compound treatment group (80 μM and 40 μM chalcone derivatives).

[0108] (3) Experimental results

[0109] Twenty-four hours after fertilization, healthy embryos developed to the appropriate stage were selected and randomly assigned to 12-well plates, with 30 embryos placed in each well. The original culture medium was removed, and the prepared chalcone derivative working solution was added to the plate. The culture plate was placed in a constant temperature incubator at 28.5℃ in the dark for 6 hours. After drug administration, the embryos were transferred to E3 culture medium containing 0.02% tricaine solution until the embryos were completely anesthetized. The anesthetized embryos were placed on their sides on a glass slide and fixed with a small amount of 3% methylcellulose.

[0110] Fluorescent images of zebrafish blood vessels were observed and captured using a Leica DMi8 manual fluorescence microscope (Leica Wetzlar GmbH, Germany). Quantitative analysis of intersegmental vessels in each zebrafish embryo was performed using ImageJ software.

[0111] See results Figure 9 The chalcone derivative prepared in this invention can significantly inhibit the formation of new blood vessels in zebrafish.
