Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to triterpenoid glycoside saponins, their preparation methods, and their application as adjuvants in vaccines. Background Technology

[0002] The prevention and control of infectious diseases is crucial to ensuring public health security. Vaccines are considered an effective tool against infectious diseases. However, modern vaccines, while highly safe, often have low immunogenicity, leading to the important concept of adjuvants. Adjuvants are substances that can stimulate the immune system and enhance the immunogenicity of vaccines, without having specific antigenic activity themselves. Saponins are a class of glycosides whose aglycones are triterpenoids or spirostane compounds, belonging to plant-derived adjuvants. However, because saponins can damage cell membranes and cause hemolysis of erythrocytes, their application as adjuvants is limited. To reduce saponin toxicity, more effective and less toxic saponins are being extensively studied, while other types of saponins and their derivatives and complexes are also being continuously explored.

[0003] QS (qS) are saponins extracted from the soap tree and are a class of effective adjuvants frequently used in vaccines. Saleh et al. prepared equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) using three adjuvants: Motanide ISA-206, mineral oil, and QS, and inoculated them into mice to test the vaccine's effect in reducing viral dispersibility. The results showed that the conversion rate of CTLs continued to increase up to 30 days after a second vaccination. Furthermore, ELISA and cellular complement fixation assays demonstrated that QS was the optimal vaccine adjuvant. Oliveira et al. used inactivated rabies virus (RV) as the antigen and employed B. atropine inactivated spores (BA-IS), QS, and a combination of both as adjuvants to combat rabies. The results showed that both BAIS and QS increased antibody titers, while the combination of the two doubled the antibody titer.

[0004] Because QS has been found to be a mixture of at least nearly a hundred structurally related saponin glycosides, their isolation and separation are typically very difficult. QS-21 is currently the most widely reported adjuvant, used as a potent adjuvant in clinical vaccines. QS-21 is a triterpenoid saponin with a fatty chain, isolated in 1992 by American chemists Kensil et al. from plants in the Rosaceae family. It possesses extremely strong immunomodulatory activity, inducing the response of exogenous antigens in cellular T lymphocytes (CTLs) and the production of antigen-specific antibodies, and enhancing cellular immune responses. The structure of QS-21 is extremely complex; its sugar chain, fatty chain, and aglycone are among the most structurally complex of saponins to date. Furthermore, the absolute configuration of the chiral center of the fatty chain is not yet fully determined, and the fatty chain readily undergoes intramolecular transfer in aqueous solution, reaching a certain isomer equilibrium. Therefore, the synthesis of QS-21 presents a significant challenge. Simultaneously, QS-21 can induce hemolysis and has certain systemic and local toxic side effects. To reduce its toxicity, QS-21 is often combined with other components to form adjuvant systems, thereby improving vaccine reactivity. Studies have found that using ALF liposomes to bind MPLA and QS-21 as adjuvants against HIV gp 140 protein can effectively increase serum antibody titers. Other studies have used a subcutaneous delivery technology—nanopatch—to form an adjuvant complex with QS-21. Results showed that, compared to traditional intramuscular injection, nanopatch significantly reduces the dosage of antigen and QS-21 used and induces higher IgG titers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the above, the present invention provides a triterpenoid glycoside saponin compound, its preparation method, and its application in vaccines. The triterpenoid glycoside saponin compound has good adjuvant activity, high tolerability, and low toxicity. It can be used in combination with other adjuvant compounds in vaccines to enhance the immunogenicity of vaccines. At the same time, the preparation process of the triterpenoid glycoside saponin compound of the present invention is time-saving, low-cost, and high-purity, and can be used for stable and efficient production, thereby comprehensively improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0096] The technical solution of the present invention will be further illustrated below through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0097] Unless otherwise stated, all technical terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0098] The "stereoisomers" described in this invention refer to compounds that have the same chemical structure but whose atoms or groups are arranged differently in space. Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, conformational isomers (rotational isomers), geometrical isomers (cis / trans) isomers, and hindered isomers, etc.

[0099] Depending on the choice of starting materials and methods, the compounds of this invention can exist as one or a mixture of possible isomers, such as racemic mixtures and diastereomeric mixtures (depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms). Optically active (R)- or (S)- isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituents may be E or Z configurations; if the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl group, the cycloalkyl substituents may be cis or trans configurations.

[0100] Any mixture of stereoisomers obtained can be separated into pure or substantially pure geometric isomers, enantiomers, and diastereomers based on differences in the physicochemical properties of the components, for example, by chromatography and / or fractional crystallization.

[0101] Unless otherwise indicated, the structural formulas described in this invention include all isomers (e.g., enantiomers, diastereomers, and geometric isomers (or conformational isomers): for example, R and S configurations containing an asymmetric center, (Z) and (E) isomers of double bonds, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, any single stereochemical isomer of the compounds of this invention, or a mixture of its enantiomers, diastereomers, or geometric isomers (or conformational isomers), is within the scope of this invention.

[0102] Racemic mixtures of any resulting end product or intermediate can be separated into optical enantiomers using known methods, such as by separating their diastereomeric salts. Racemic products can also be separated by chiral chromatography, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using chiral adsorbents. In particular, enantiomers can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis, for example, see Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis (2nd Ed. Robert E. Gawley, Jeffrey Aubé, Elsevier, Oxford, UK, 2012); Eliel, ELStereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); Wilen, SH Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (ELEliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972); Chiral Separation Techniques: A Practical Approach (Subramanian, G.
