Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a polypeptide compound with anti-inflammatory activity, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease with a high incidence and disability rate, imposing a heavy burden on patients, families, and society. According to literature reports, there are currently over 500 million OA patients worldwide, accounting for approximately 15% of the adult population. With the increasing aging of the population, the prevalence of OA is gradually rising. Currently, the first-line treatment for early-stage OA is topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), while moderate to severe OA patients primarily rely on oral NSAIDs and selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors to control symptoms. These treatments mainly focus on short-term benefits, but long-term use can lead to adverse reactions such as cardiovascular toxicity, gastrointestinal bleeding, and liver and kidney damage. Given the limitations of existing treatments, developing safe and effective drugs that target the pathological mechanisms of OA and improve the joint microenvironment is crucial.

[0003] Apoptosis of articular chondrocytes and activation of innate inflammatory pathways play crucial roles in the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). STING, a key receptor for inflammation-induced senescent damage in articular chondrocytes, recognizes cyclic dinucleotides in the cytoplasm, recruits TBK1 kinase and IRF3 transcription factor, leading to IRF3 phosphorylation and dimer formation, inducing the expression of type I interferon and inflammatory factors, and driving the inflammatory response. STING deficiency or mutation can delay the inflammatory response and cartilage degradation in spontaneous osteoarthritis and alleviate joint damage in an adult mouse DMM model, suggesting that STING may be a novel therapeutic target for OA. An ideal drug delivery system can improve drug efficacy while reducing dosage and side effects. Peptide drugs, due to their broad applicability, high safety, and significant efficacy, are currently widely used in the treatment of diseases such as asthma, allergies, and pain. Peptide drugs targeting STING have great potential as an alternative to traditional anti-inflammatory drugs for arthritis, and no reports have yet been published on their use.

[0051] A third aspect of the invention provides the use of the aforementioned anti-inflammatory polypeptide compound or its pharmaceutical salt in the preparation of a medicament for treating knee or osteoarthritis.

[0052] This invention induces an osteoarthritis (OA) model in mice through medial meniscectomy. At weeks 6 and 12 post-treatment, three-dimensional and coronal images of the medial tibial plateau of mice were scanned using Micro-CT. The OARSI score of the mouse knee osteoarthritis was assessed based on HE and Safranin-Fix-Green staining. IHC detection revealed that targeting the synthesized peptide SIP-2 reduced the expression of MMP13 and COL2A1 positive cells in cartilage tissue. The present invention's peptide effectively alleviates articular cartilage damage in the mouse OA model, promotes cartilage matrix synthesis, and inhibits osteophyte formation.

[0053] The medicinal salts refer to salts formed by small-molecule acidic or basic compounds and polypeptides. These salts generally increase the solubility of the polypeptides, and the formed salts do not significantly alter the activity of the polypeptides. For example, acids that can typically form salts with the polypeptides of this invention include hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, and citric acid; bases that can form salts with the polypeptides of this invention include alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, ammonium, and carbonates.

[0054] The anti-inflammatory effects of the polypeptide compounds of the present invention can be verified by conventional experimental methods, such as cell experiments. In the specific embodiments of the present invention, cell experiments such as quantitative real-time PCR are preferred. Through this experiment, it was found that the polypeptide compounds of the present invention have in vitro anti-inflammatory effects.

[0055] The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition, wherein the aforementioned polypeptide compound with anti-inflammatory activity is used as the active pharmaceutical component, and can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment.

[0056] The pharmaceutical composition may contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, excipients or carriers, preferably in unit dose form, such as tablets, films, pills, capsules (including sustained-release or delayed-release forms), powders, granules, syrups or emulsions, sterilized solutions for injection, suspensions or lyophilized powder injections, aerosols or liquid sprays, automated dropper injection devices or suppositories.

[0057] The active pharmaceutical component in the pharmaceutical composition may be combined with a non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier, such as ethanol, glycerol, water, or a combination thereof. The anti-inflammatory polypeptide compounds of the present invention are preferably prepared using sterilized aqueous solutions for injection.

[0058] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be administered via methods of administration well known to those skilled in the art, such as oral, rectal, sublingual, pulmonary, transdermal, iontophoresis, vaginal, and intranasal administration. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are preferably administered parenterally, such as subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously.

[0059] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0060] The polypeptide compounds provided by this invention can target STING to produce an anti-inflammatory effect and can be used to treat knee osteoarthritis.

[0061] This invention utilizes the second messenger 2',3'-cGAMP to stimulate mouse RAW264.7 cells, constructing a STING immune signaling pathway activation model. RT-qPCR analysis showed that SIP-2 reduced cGAMP-induced Ifnβ gene expression in a dose-dependent manner. Further Western blot analysis revealed that SIP-2 effectively reduced the activation of STING-related innate immune signaling pathways through the STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling axis. Similarly, further validation was conducted in mouse primary chondrocytes, showing that SIP-2 may reduce STING expression in articular cartilage and delay articular cartilage degeneration. In a mouse DMM model, the OARSI scoring system was used to quantitatively score cartilage degeneration, subchondral bone changes, and osteophyte formation. Combined with IHC analysis at weeks 6 and 12, the results indicated that SIP-2 significantly slowed the degenerative process of the knee joint in mice with osteoarthritis (OA).

[0316] Test animals: 36 male C57BL / 6 mice, aged 8-9 weeks, purchased from Changzhou Kevins Company.

[0317] Experimental drugs: Model group (n=12), low concentration (1 mg / kg, n=12), high concentration (10 mg / kg, n=12).

[0318] The method for constructing a medial meniscus instability (DMM)-induced arthritis model is as follows: Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and fixed supine on the operating table. The left knee joint was routinely prepared and disinfected. Using sterile surgical instruments, the skin and subcutaneous tissue were sequentially incised through the medial side of the patella, and the patellar ligament was gently separated to expose the knee joint. The anteromedial meniscal ligament and medial collateral ligament were cut, and the medial meniscus was freed to induce instability in the left knee joint. The incision was sutured and disinfected with povidone-iodine.

[0319] The experimental mice were divided into three groups: model group (n=12), low-concentration group (1 mg / kg, n=12), and high-concentration group (10 mg / kg, n=12). The dosing regimen was as follows: Figure 20 ( Figure 20 The diagram shows the dosing regimen for SIP-2 treatment of arthritis lesions in mice. As shown, the drug was administered via the tail vein after DMM surgery, once every 3 days. Joint tissues were collected at 6 and 12 weeks of treatment for histological evaluation.

[0320] Experimental results: Compared with the DMM model group, the SIP-2 treatment group (10 mg / kg) showed wider knee joint space and significantly reduced sclerotic cartilage thickness, such as...

Figure 25 This is a schematic diagram of the osteophyte grading and scoring in the SIP-2 model of osteophyte formation at the knee joint of the DMM model. Figure 26 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the quantification of osteophyte levels in the knee joint generation of the DMM model using SIP-2. Figure 27 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the quantitative effect of SIP-2 on osteophyte formation in the knee joint of a DMM model. The figure shows that SIP-2 effectively improved osteophyte formation in DMM model mice. Morphological observation of cartilage tissue revealed changes in cartilage morphology. HE staining showed that, compared to the model group, SIP-2 treatment resulted in restored smooth cartilage surface, reduced hypertrophic chondrocytes, tidal line displacement, reduced cartilage lesions and defects in the distal femur, intact cartilage tissue, and a significant increase in the OARSI score.
