Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of medicine, and relates to a norbornane derivative and the pharmaceutical use thereof. Background Art
[0002] A stroke is a disease characterized by sudden interruption or severe reduction of cerebral blood supply; it can be classified into two major types, namely ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. The common types of the former include embolic cerebral infarction and cerebral thrombosis, which are mainly caused by occlusion of arteries supplying blood to the brain, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue. The common types of the latter are cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage, which are primarily induced by rupture of cerebral blood vessels leading to intracerebral bleeding.
[0003] (+)-Borneol is a norbornane derivative, which is capable of selectively agonizing the a2 GABAA receptor, and has a clear anti-cerebral ischemia effect and a good brain protection effect for cerebral ischemic reperfusion models (Journal of Biomedical Research, 2017, 31(4): 306-314). In addition, it also exhibits pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, anticoagulant activity, anti-myocardial ischemia activity, reversing tumor drug resistance, as well as improving wakefulness and cognitive function in rats subjected to long-term continuous operation.
[0004] As a lipophilic agent, (+)-borneol has a clear effect of promoting drug absorption and penetration across the blood-brain barrier and promoting drug distribution in the brain, but it also suffers from the drawbacks of poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability.

[0087] Step 1): Model preparation: The method for preparing the SD rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was performed with reference to Experimental Methodology of Pharmacology, 4th Edition. Adult male SD rats were subjected to 90 min of cerebral ischemia followed by reperfusion using the intraluminal suture method.
[0088] Step 2): Animal grouping: At 60 min after suture placement, rats with successful model establishment were screened on the basis of neurological deficit scores (10-11 points), and randomly divided into groups, with eight rats per group.
[0089] Step 3): Dosing regimen A single tail vein bolus injection was administered immediately after reperfusion; the experimental endpoint was set at 24 h after administration.
[0090] Step 4): Detection indicators:
[0091] Neurological deficit score: The severity of neurological deficits in animals was scored in a blinded fashion before administration and at 24 h after administration, with a total score of 16 points.
[0092] Infarct area measurement: At 24 h after administration, the animals were decapitated, and the whole brains were harvested. The brain tissues were sliced and immersed in a 1% 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) solution for staining, and then the cerebral infarct area was calculated. 2.2 Data analysis
[0093] The experimental data were expressed as mean±standard deviation (mean±SD) and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 statistical software. Multiple-group comparisons were statistically analyzed by means of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). First, the data were tested for homogeneity of variances, if P<0.05, the data were considered to have unequal variances; if P>0.05, the data were considered to have equal variances. For data with equal variances, multiple comparisons were performed using the LSD test. For data with unequal variances, Dunnett's T3 test was used for statistical analysis. A value of P<0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. Test Example 2 Anti-inflammatory effects of the compounds on neuroinflammatory cell model
[0094] In this study, mouse microglial cells (BV-2 cells) were used to establish an inflammatory cell model via co-stimulation with IFN-y + TNF-a. The in vitro anti-inflammatory effect of the compound was evaluated by analyzing the inhibitory effect of the compound on the mRNA transcription levels of IL-ip and IL-6. 1.

[0095] BV-2 (mouse microglial cells). 2. Experimental method 2.1 Experimental steps
[0096] Step 1): Cell culture: The old medium was removed, followed by one rinse with PBS. Then 0.25% trypsin was added, and the cells were incubated at 37C for 2-3 min. The corresponding culture medium was added to terminate digestion. The cell suspension was gently pipetted with a pipette to dissociate the aggregated cells, transferred to a sterile centrifuge tube, and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min to collect cells. After centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded. The cells were seeded in a 10 cm cell culture dish at a density of 2.5*105 cells per cell culture dish.
[0097] Step 2): Establishment of cellular inflammatory model: After cell seeding, the cells were cultured until reaching 70%-80% confluence under microscopic observation. Compounds at different concentrations were added. After 3 h, TNF-a and IFN-y solutions were added at a final concentration of 10 ng / mL each to establish the TNF-a / IFN-Y-induced cellular inflammatory model. Relevant detections were performed 24 h later.
[0098] Step 3): Detection indicators: Cells were lysed, and RNA was extracted for subsequent experiments or storage at -80C. cDNA templates were obtained by reverse transcription, and the intracellular mRNA transcription levels of IL- ip and IL-6 were detected by qPCR. 2.2 Data analysis

[0106] SD rats, male, weighing about 240 to 260 g. The animals were purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., with the animal production license as follows: SCXK (Beijing) 2021-0011. 3. Experimental method 3.1 Experimental steps:
[0107] (1) Model preparation: The method for preparing the SD rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was performed with reference to Experimental Methodology of Pharmacology, 4th Edition, and a permanent cerebral ischemia model was established by the intraluminal suture method.
[0108] (2) Animal grouping: At 55 min after suture occlusion, neurological deficit scoring was performed (animals with scores of 10-11 points (indicating relatively uniform deficit severity) were selected; those with excessively severe or mild deficits were excluded). Cerebral blood flow was measured using a laser speckle perfusion imager (animals with a decrease of >50% compared with the ipsilateral baseline value were eligible). Animals meeting both criteria were enrolled. Rats with successful model establishment were randomly divided into four groups, with six rats per group, and an additional sham operation group containing six rats was set up. The specific grouping information is as follows: Table 3 Grouping and dosing information Group Dose (mg / kg) n Dosing start time Route of administration / dosing frequency Sham operation - 6 60 min after ischemia IV injection / single dose Model control - 6 60 min after ischemia IV injection / single dose Compound 1 0.4 6 60 min after ischemia IV injection / single dose Compound 5 0.4 6 60 min after ischemia IV injection / single dose Compound 7 0.4 6 60 min after ischemia IV injection / single dose
[0109] (3) Dosing regimen At 60 min after suture occlusion, a single tail vein injection of the solution of Compound 1, Compound 5 or Compound 7 was performed, and a single tail vein injection of vehicle normal saline was performed in the sham operation group and the model control group. The experimental endpoint was set at 24 h after cerebral occlusion.

The brain tissues were sliced and immersed in a 1% 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) solution for staining, and then the percentage of cerebral infarct area was calculated. 3.2 Data analysis
[0113] The experimental data were expressed as mean±standard deviation (mean±SD) and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 statistical software. Multiple-group comparisons were statistically analyzed by means of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). First, the data were tested for homogeneity of variances, if P<0.05, the data were considered to have unequal variances; if P>0.05, the data were considered to have equal variances. For data with equal variances, multiple comparisons were performed using the LSD test. For data with unequal variances, Dunnett's T3 test was used for statistical analysis. A value of P<0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. 4. Experimental results
[0114] The neurological deficit scoring results of rats in each group are shown in FIG. 1 and Table 4. Compared with the sham operation group, rats in the model control group had significant behavioral disorders at 24 h after modeling, with a score of 9.0 at 24 h after modeling (P<0.001). Compared with the model control group, 0.4 mg / kg Compound 1, administered at 1 h after suture occlusion, significantly improved the neurological deficit scores, with an improvement rate of 24.4% (P<0.01), and 0.4 mg / kg Compound 5 and 0.4 mg / kg Compound 7 showed a trend toward improvement in neurological deficit scores, with improvement rates of 11.1% (P>0.05) and 13.0% (P>0.05), respectively.
