Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of natural product preparation and medicine, in particular to a flavonoid glycoside derived from golden chrysanthemum and its application in preparing medicines for treating hyperlipidemia and fatty liver. Background Art
[0002] Golden Chrysanthemum is a type of chrysanthemum. As an ancient large chrysanthemum variety, it has a delicate and sweet fragrance and has been produced and sold as chrysanthemum tea in recent years. Originally cultivated in Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province, Golden Chrysanthemum is now also grown in large quantities in Anhui, Jiangsu, Qinghai, and other regions. Research reports indicate that Golden Chrysanthemum has antibacterial, antioxidant, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory properties. The unique pharmacological effects of its active ingredients, polysaccharides, caffeic acid derivatives, and flavonoids, have also been extensively studied.
[0003] Due to the unique physiological activities of flavonoids, research on their activity and chemical structure modification is ongoing. Isolation from natural medicinal and edible resources is also an important avenue for flavonoid discovery. Currently, chemical modification of the C2, C3, C7, C8, C3' (or C5'), and C4' residues of flavonoids is the main focus of structural modification. By introducing functional groups such as halogens, aryls, alkyls, sulfonic acids, phosphates, amino groups, and carboxyl groups, the chemical structure is altered, thereby improving physicochemical properties such as lipid solubility, water solubility, and stability, thereby enhancing bioactivity and bioavailability.
[0004] Apigenin-7-O-(6”-O-malonylglucoside)-β-D-glucoside (structural formula below, hereinafter referred to as AMG), also known as Apigenin-7-O-6”-malonylglucoside, CAS: 86546-87-4, has been isolated from chamomile, Huangshan tribute chrysanthemum, small yellow chamomile, lupine, salt-loving grass, Antarctic moss, and tenuifolia. It has been reported to exhibit antioxidant, liver damage relief, and anti-tumor cell proliferation activities.
[0005] The structural formula of apigenin 7-O-(6"-O-malonyl)-β-D-glucoside is as follows:
[0006]
[0007] Through searching, we found the following publications related to the patent application of this invention:
[0008] 1. Journal article: Isolation, identification and stability of acylated derivatives of apigenin7-O-glucoside from chamomile (Chamomilla recutita[L.]Rauschert). Phytochemistry, 2004, 65(16), 2323-2332. It was isolated and extracted from chamomile using a polyamide column combined with high performance liquid chromatography, but there is no research on its activity.
[0009] 2. Journal article: Identification of major flavonoids inpetals of edible chrysanthemum flowers and their suppressive effect on carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury in mice. Food Science and Technology Research (2009), 15(5), 499-506. The compound was isolated and extracted from a Japanese chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.forma esculentum Makino, cv Kotobuki) and has antioxidant activity and activity in alleviating carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury.
[0010] 3. Identification of the phenolic components of chrysanthemum flower (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat). Food Chemistry (2010), 120(1), 319-326. A series of compounds, including this compound, were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. No information on the efficacy of the study was available.
[0011] In the prior art, apigenin 7-O-(6"-O-malonyl)-β-D-glucoside has antioxidant, liver damage alleviation, and anti-tumor cell proliferation activities, but does not have lipid-lowering and fatty liver alleviation activities. The present invention provides a new application of this compound for the treatment of lipid-lowering and fatty liver. Fatty liver disease is essentially different from liver damage. Fatty liver disease generally requires a "second hit," which affects metabolism and promotes the deposition of triglycerides in the liver, such as a high-fat diet, obesity, and insulin resistance, which is the "first hit" in the pathogenesis process; signal transduction processes, such as extracellular cytokines, adipokines, bacterial endotoxins, mitochondrial dysfunction and / or endoplasmic reticulum stress, or further progression to fatty liver disease, activation of inflammatory cascades and fibrosis are called the "second hit." To date, there are no effective methods or drugs for curing fatty liver disease on the market.
[0012] In addition, in the prior art, apigenin 7-O-(6"-O-malonyl)-β-D-glucoside has been isolated from chamomile, Huangshan tribute chrysanthemum, small yellow chamomile, lupine, salt-loving grass, Antarctic moss, and fine-leaved true moss, but there is no report on its isolation from golden chrysanthemum, and there is no report on its chemical synthesis.

[0106] Example 4 Evaluation of Pancreatic Lipase Inhibitory Activity of AMG
[0107] Pancreatic lipase allows the breakdown products of dietary fat to be reabsorbed by the body, thereby inhibiting fat production. Most marketed pancreatic lipase inhibitors can cause side effects, such as diarrhea and stomach cramps, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, identifying new pancreatic lipase inhibitors with strong inhibitory activity and high safety from natural food-derived plant species is of great significance.
[0108] The inhibitory activity of active monomers at different concentrations on pancreatic lipase was detected by microplate assay, using orlistat as a positive control and 4-methylumbelliferyl oleate as a substrate. The method is as follows:
[0109] (1) Preparation of buffer solution: Dissolve Tris powder in ultrapure water, adjust the solution pH to 8.0 after constant volume, and obtain a Tris-HCl buffer solution with a system concentration of 13 mM.
[0110] (2) Preparation of compounds: Weigh the compound to be tested and dissolve it in DMSO reagent to obtain a test solution with a final concentration of 20 mM.
[0111] (3) Preparation of pancreatic lipase test solution: The reaction system uses 1 mg / mL pancreatic lipase working solution, that is, after weighing pancreatic lipase powder, add Tris-HCl buffer and place on ice until use.
[0112] (4) Preparation of substrate: 4-Methylumbelliferyl oleate was dissolved in DMSO to form a 5 mM solution, and then diluted with Tris-HCl to form a 0.1 mM substrate solution.
[0113] (5) Preparation of stop solution: Weigh citric acid and sodium citrate, add distilled water to dissolve them respectively, and mix the two solutions to prepare a reaction stop solution with a pH of 4.2 and a concentration of 0.1 mM.
[0114] (6) Pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity test system: Compound test group (A): 50 μL substrate solution + 10 μL test solution + 25 μL enzyme solution + 100 μL sodium citrate + 15 μL Tris-HCl; Compound blank group (B): 50 μL substrate solution + 10 μL test solution + 100 μL sodium citrate + 40 μL Tris-HCl; Control group (C): 50 μL substrate solution + 25 μL enzyme solution + 100 μL sodium citrate + 25 μL Tris-HCl; Blank group (D): 50 μL substrate solution + 100 μL sodium citrate + 50 μL Tris-HCl.
[0115] Tris-HCl buffer, substrate solution, and test solution of varying concentrations were sequentially added to a 96-well microtiter plate and thoroughly mixed. The enzyme solution was then added to initiate the reaction. After incubation at 25°C for 30 minutes, 100 μL of sodium citrate was added to each well to terminate the reaction. The absorbance (OD) was then immediately measured using a microplate reader at 340 nm and 460 nm emission wavelengths. The Tris-HCl buffer was pH 8.0. The results are from three independent experiments, each with two replicates.
[0116] The inhibition rate of pancreatic lipase activity was calculated as follows: inhibition rate / % = 1-(OD A -OD B ) / (OD C -OD D )]×100%.
[0117] Table 1 Effects on inhibition of pancreatic lipase activity
[0118]
[0119] Note: a The data are the mean of three independent experiments. b Orlistat was used as a positive control and the test concentration was 0.08 μM.
[0120] As can be seen from Table 1, the flavonoid AMG has pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity, and the inhibition rate can reach more than 80% at 250 μM, but the inhibitory activity is weaker than that of the positive control orlistat at 0.08 μM.
[0121] Example 5 Effect of AMG on lipid content in HepG2 cells
[0122] First, the cytotoxicity of 250μM and 50μM AMG on HepG2 cells was evaluated. No significant cytotoxicity was observed at these concentrations. Oil Red O staining was then used to evaluate the lipid-lowering activity of AMG at different concentrations. Lovastatin was used as a positive control. The specific method is as follows:
[0123] HepG2 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were taken and cultured in DMEM low-glucose medium at a cell density of 1×10 5The cells were seeded with 2 mL / mL in a 6-well plate, 2 mL per well, and cultured in a 37°C incubator overnight. After the cells adhered, the supernatant was discarded, the cells were washed once with 1×PBS, starved with serum-free DMEM high-glucose medium for 24 hours, washed once with 1×PBS, and HepG2 cells were induced with the prepared long-chain fatty acid (FFAS) inducer to establish a fat accumulation model for 24 hours. A drug control group (inducer + test substance + cells), a negative control group (inducer + DMSO + cells), and a blank control group (DMEM low-glucose medium solution containing only 1% BSA) + a positive control group (inducer + lovastatin + cells) were set up. Three replicate wells were set up for each concentration, and 10 μL of dilution containing different concentrations of the test substance was added to each well. The cells were placed in a carbon dioxide incubator and cultured for another 24 h, then washed three times with 1× PBS, fixed with 2 mL per well of 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min, washed three times with 1× PBS, and treated with 2 mL per well of 60% isopropanol for 5 min to increase cell permeability. The cells were stained with 2 mL per well of Oil Red O for 1 h in the dark at room temperature. The cells were washed four times with distilled water, and then 1 mL of isopropanol was added to each well for binding for 10 min. The cells were washed out by shaking, and the absorbance was measured at 492 nm using a microplate reader.
[0124] Table 2 Effects on lipid content in HepG2 cells
[0125]
[0126] Note: a The data are the mean of three independent experiments; bLovastatin was used as a positive control.
[0127] As shown in Table 2, flavonoid AMG has the ability to significantly reduce the cell fat content induced by sodium oleate and sodium palmitate at the cellular level, and its effect in reducing fat content is more obvious than that of the positive control lovastatin at the same concentration.
[0128] Example 6 AMG staining experiment on lipid content of HepG2 cells
[0129] The test method is the same as in Example 5, and the results are as follows Figure 7 As shown in the results, AMG still has good lipid-lowering activity at a concentration of 0.2 μM, and the activity at this concentration is comparable to that of 10 μM lovastatin.
[0130] Example 7 Study on the activity of AMG in lowering blood lipids and treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in mice
[0131] (1) The in vivo activity evaluation method for hyperlipidemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease model mice is as follows:
[0132] (a) Establishment of mouse model
[0133] The experimental animals were three-week-old male Kunming mice purchased from Beijing Weitonglihua Animal Experiment Technology Co., Ltd. Tyloxapol is a non-ionic surfactant and oligomerization inducer that can cause dyslipidemia and liver damage. Tyloxapol can increase TC, TG, and LDL-C levels, reduce HDL-C levels, and increase ALT and AST activities, indicating the formation of fatty liver. In addition, tyloxapol can also inhibit the activity of lipase, thereby affecting the clearance of TG, and can be used to induce hyperlipidemia in mice. Therefore, when mice are injected with tyloxapol for 24 hours, the blood lipid level in the body rises to the highest level, which can cause a large amount of fat to accumulate in the liver in a short period of time, causing a significant increase in blood lipid levels. It can be used to screen drugs for the treatment of fatty liver.
[0134] In the experiment, AMPK (Adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase), an AMP-dependent protein kinase, is a key molecule in regulating biological energy metabolism; AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide1-β-D-ribofuranoside), an AMPK activator, is used to study the mechanism of action of this model.
[0135] (b) Drug preparation
[0136] The compound was first dissolved in 5% Tween 80 solvent volume, and then physiological saline was added to make up to the various concentrations. The compound was shaken until it was dissolved without precipitation.
[0137] (c) Animal grouping
[0138] After one week of adaptive feeding with a normal diet, 42 mice were randomly divided into seven groups, with six mice in each group. These groups included a normal mouse group, a model mouse group (tyloxapol + an equal volume of diluent), a high-dose group (tyloxapol + AMG 200 mg / kg), a medium-dose group (tyloxapol + AMG 100 mg / kg), a low-dose group (tyloxapol + AMG 50 mg / kg), a positive control group (tyloxapol + fenofibrate 100 mg / kg), and an AMPK-positive control group (tyloxapol + AICAR 100 mg / kg).
[0139] (d) Mouse experimental process
[0140] Both the model and treatment groups were induced with intraperitoneal injection of 500 mg / kg tyloxapol (0.2 mL) per mouse. Approximately 30 minutes later, the model group mice were administered an equal volume of tyloxapol solvent. The treatment group mice were gavaged with an oral volume of 0.1 mL / 10 g (0.2 mL per mouse). The high-, medium-, and low-dose groups received AMG 200 mg / kg, 100 mg / kg, and 50 mg / kg, respectively. The positive control group received fenofibrate 100 mg / kg and AICAR 100 mg / kg, respectively. Twenty-four hours later, the mice were bled by eye removal. Plasma was allowed to rest on ice for a period of time and then centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes to collect serum. Tissues, including the liver, spleen, and epididymal fat, were rapidly dissected and cleaned with saline until no blood was visible on the surface of the organs. The organs were then blotted dry with filter paper and weighed. A portion of the liver from each group of mice was taken from the hepatic lobule and immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde fixative for subsequent liver section staining with H&E and Oil Red O. The remaining liver, spleen, epididymal white fat, and other tissues were stored in a -80°C freezer until use.
[0141] (2) Effects of AMG on various indicators in mouse serum
[0142] Blood lipid levels are closely related to cardiovascular metabolic diseases. Increased levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C, and decreased HDL-C often indicate the presence of dyslipidemia. As shown in Table 3, the high, medium, and low dose groups of AMG administration were 200, 100, and 50 mg / kg, respectively, fenofibrate was 100 mg / kg, and AICAR was 100 mg / kg. Compared with the normal group of mice, the model group mice had significantly increased levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C in the serum, and significantly decreased levels of HDL-C, showing the distinct characteristics of hyperlipidemia. After administration, serum levels of TC, TG, and LDL-C decreased, while HDL-C levels increased, and related indicators were restored. The results of the administration showed that the TC and TG levels of the model group mice were approximately 5 times and 8 times higher than those of the normal group, respectively. After administration of the extract at 200, 100, and 50 mg / kg, TC and TG levels were significantly restored, with a stronger effect than the positive control fenofibrate.
[0143] Furthermore, elevated ALT is a key marker of acute liver cell damage. AST levels are normally low in the blood. Once tissues and organs such as the liver are damaged or diseased, the body releases more AST into the blood. As shown in Table 3-9, compared with the normal group, serum ALT and AST levels in the model group mice were significantly elevated, indicating severe liver cell damage. Treatment with the drug significantly reduced serum ALT and AST levels in the mice, indicating recovery from liver damage.
[0144] Table 3 Effects of AMG on serum TG, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, ALT and AST in mice
[0145]
[0146]
[0147] Note: Data are mean ± SEM (n = 6). Compared with the model group, there were significant differences: ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.05, *P < 0.01.
[0148] (2) Effect of AMG on serum SOD activity in mice
[0149] Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important enzyme molecule that has the effect of scavenging free radicals in the human body. Its activity level can reflect the body's ability to eliminate free radicals. Low SOD content in the body means that the body's ability to eliminate harmful superoxide anion free radicals is reduced, which will cause damage to the liver cell membrane and lead to liver cell degeneration and necrosis. Since SOD can dismutate O2 into H2O2, once O 2- Produced in large quantities in the body, SOD rapidly and specifically captures O 2- , forming the first line of defense against free radical damage to the body. Therefore, SOD can effectively reduce the free radical content in the blood, reduce the burden on the liver, and improve liver function. Figure 8 As shown in the results, after tyloxapol administration, the SOD activity level in the model group decreased significantly, while the SOD activity in the AMG 200 mg / kg administration group was significantly improved, indicating that it has a significant effect on improving blood lipids in hyperlipidemic mice, has significant lipid-lowering activity and antioxidant capacity, and can reduce the burden on the liver to a certain extent.
[0150] (3) Effect of AMG on liver steatosis in mice
[0151] like Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the liver morphology and appearance of the normal group mice were obviously darker in color. The liver color and state of the model group after tyloxapol stimulation were yellower and the liver was obviously enlarged compared with the normal group. After administration of AMG, the liver returned to normal color, and the liver index also gradually returned to normal with the administration concentration ( Figure 10 ), indicating that AMG has the effect of alleviating the liver color, morphology and liver index of fatty liver; in addition, liver HE staining ( Figure 11 ), the liver lobule cells of the normal group were arranged regularly, while the liver cells of the model group were arranged irregularly, and the inflammatory cell infiltration and fatty degeneration were significantly aggravated, with a large number of white fat vacuoles; by staining the liver lobule sections with oil red O ( Figure 12) found that the liver lobule structure in the normal group was normal, while the liver of the model group had a large amount of red lipid accumulation. After administration, the pathological state of the liver lobule structure was significantly improved. Even at a concentration of 200 mg / mL, the effect on the liver was stronger than that of the positive control group, tyloxapol.
[0152] (4) Effects on biochemical indicators in the liver
[0153] As shown in Table 4, compared with the normal group, the model group mice showed slightly elevated levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C in the liver, while HDL-C levels decreased. Administration of high, medium, and low doses of AMG (200, 100, and 50 mg / kg) decreased TC, TG, and LDL-C levels in the liver, while increasing HDL-C levels. Furthermore, compared with the normal group, the model group mice showed significantly elevated levels of ALT and AST in the liver, which were significantly reduced after compound administration.
[0154] Table 4 Effects of AMG on TG, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, ALT and AST in mouse liver
[0155]
[0156]
[0157] Note: Data are mean ± SEM (n = 6). Compared with the model group, there were significant differences: ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.05, *P < 0.01.
[0158] (5) Effects on MPO activity in the liver
[0159] Myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the liver is an enzyme related to the development of liver disease. Inflammation or liver disease in the body will increase the activity of MPO. Experiments have confirmed that the activity of MPO in the liver of patients with fatty liver increases. Figure 12 It can be seen that the extract has a significant reducing effect on MPO levels after administration. The reduction in MPO levels means that AMG can play a positive role in the regulation of liver inflammation.
[0160] (6) Effects on inflammatory factor IL-6 in the liver
[0161] A series of pathological conditions induced by NAFLD will lead to changes in the expression of many related inflammatory factors in the body, including interleukin 6 (IL-6), an important inflammatory factor that has both anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory properties. IL-6 can act as an important metabolic regulator in lipid metabolism. It can mediate inflammatory reactions, participate in the inflammatory damage process, and further damage liver cells. Increased levels of inflammatory factors are a common phenomenon in liver damage, and their expression gradually increases as the degree of fatty liver gradually worsens. IL-6 has the effect of accelerating protein synthesis in liver cells in emergency situations, and its increased level is related to the liver's decreased ability to clear inflammatory factors. For example Figure 13 As shown in the results, after administration of 200, 100 and 50 mg / kg AMG, IL-6 levels decreased by 23.68%, 22.44 and 18.03%, respectively, indicating that it can slow down the increase of inflammatory factors caused by liver damage, indicating that it has the effect of treating non-alcoholic fatty liver inflammation and liver damage.
[0162] (7) Effects of AMG on epididymal fat in mice
[0163] like Figure 14 As shown in the results, compared with the normal group, the epididymal fat in the model group increased significantly. After administration of AMG, the size of epididymal white adipose tissue was reduced. Analysis of the epididymal white adipose tissue index (ratio to body weight) of mice showed that high dose (200 mg / kg) significantly improved the increase of epididymal white fat in mice ( Figure 15 ).
[0164] These results demonstrate that AMG inhibits pancreatic lipase activity in vitro and reduces intracellular lipid accumulation. In vivo, it significantly reduces elevated serum and liver biochemical markers such as triglycerides (TG), TC, LDL-C, ALT, and AST, alleviates the decrease in HDL-C, and improves hyperlipidemia to a certain extent. It also increases serum SOD activity in mice and improves the elevated activity of liver inflammatory factors IL-6 and MPO caused by fat accumulation. It also restores liver morphology, steatosis, inflammation, and oxidative damage in mice. Furthermore, it improves the enlargement of epididymal adipose tissue. Therefore, these in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that AMG has a positive impact on the treatment of hyperlipidemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, posing a valuable opportunity for further development and application.
