Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of plant chemistry and pharmaceutical technology, and in particular, relates to chlorahololides H, J, L and chlorajaponilide E, a medicine or a pharmaceutical composition containing the chlorahololides H, J, L and chlorajaponilide E, and also relates to a preparation method of the chlorahololides H, J, L and chlorajaponilide E and an application of the chlorahololides H, J, L and chlorajaponilide E in preparing a medicine or a pharmaceutical composition for treating chronic inflammatory diseases. Background Art
[0002] Inflammasomes are a class of protein complexes that play an important role in immune regulation and inflammatory processes. As an intracellular signaling platform, inflammasomes can sense and respond to intracellular and extracellular stimuli, including microbial infection, cell damage, and environmental stress. Among them, the NLRP3 inflammasome is a member of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) family, and members of this family play an important role in sensing and regulating endogenous and exogenous signals in host cells. The NLRP3 inflammasome is composed of multiple components, including NLRP3 protein, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), and pro-cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1 (pro-caspase-1). The NLRP3 inflammasome is activated when it is infected by microorganisms, cell damage, or other stress stimuli. The signals that activate the NLRP3 inflammasome usually involve disorders in the intracellular and extracellular environment, such as intracellular K + Ion loss, Ca 2+ Signaling, accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial dysfunction and lysosomal rupture, etc. After activation, NLRP3 inflammasome cleaves pro-caspase-1 to generate biologically active caspase-1, which further promotes the maturation and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β (interleukin-1β) and IL-18 (interleukin-18), thereby inducing inflammatory effects.
[0003] Abnormal activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes is associated with the occurrence and development of a variety of inflammatory-related diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, type II diabetes, etc. Therefore, regulation of NLRP3 inflammasomes has become a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of these chronic inflammatory diseases. The development of inhibitors of NLRP3 inflammasome activation assembly provides a new treatment for related diseases. MCC950 has been widely studied as a specific small molecule inhibitor of NLRP3 inflammasomes. Its potential application in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis has attracted widespread attention and even entered the Phase II clinical trial stage. However, due to the problem of liver toxicity, it ultimately failed to pass the clinical trial.
[0004] As an important source for the development of drug lead compounds, natural products play an indispensable role in drug research and development. It is of great significance to find NLRP3 inflammasome small molecule inhibitors with both low toxicity and high activity from natural products. Many plants in the genus Chloranthus are called "four tiles". They are commonly used in folk medicine to treat trauma, snake bites, and rheumatic joint pain. They are Chinese herbal medicines with important clinical value. There is great potential in finding natural products with therapeutic effects on chronic inflammatory diseases.

[0061] Example 5: NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitory activity of chlorahololides H, J, L and chlorajaponilide E
[0062] Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a stable cytoplasmic enzyme that exists in all cells and is quickly released into the cell culture fluid when the cell membrane is damaged. After activation, NLRP3 inflammasomes will eventually lead to cell pyroptosis, cell membrane rupture, and LDH release into the cell culture fluid. The level of intracellular NLRP3 inflammasome activation can be monitored by measuring the LDH content in the cell culture fluid. Therefore, in this embodiment, a NLRP3 inflammasome activation model was constructed using mouse mononuclear macrophages J774A.1, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and nigericin. For specific methods, please refer to Xing, Jie Zhang, et al., 2021, Leojaponin inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation through restoration of autophagy via upregulating RAPTORphosphorylation, Journal of Ethnopharmacology 278 (2021) 114322.
[0063] The specific experiment is as follows: mouse mononuclear macrophage J774A.1 (purchased from Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences) was cultured at 2×10 5Cells were seeded at a density of 10 cells per well in a 24-well plate, each well containing 500 μL of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, Gibco) supplemented with 8% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco) and cultured overnight in a CO2 incubator (Thermo Scientific) containing 5% CO2 and a constant temperature of 37°C. After overnight culture, the culture medium was removed. Subsequently, 500 μL of 200 ng / mL LPS (Shanghai Biotech Co., Ltd.) dissolved in Opti-MEM medium (Thermo Scientific, Eugene, OR, USA) was added to each well to stimulate the cells for 3.5 hours. Then, the culture medium was aspirated, and 500 μL of 10 μM compounds chlorahololides H, J, L and chlorajaponilide E dissolved in Opti-MEM medium were added, 500 μL of 0.1 μM MCC950 (Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.) dissolved in Opti-MEM medium was added as a positive control, and 500 μL of 1 μL / mL DMSO dissolved in Opti-MEM medium was added as a negative control, and the cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator for 30 min. Finally, the culture medium was aspirated, and 500 μL of 10 μM nigericin (Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.) dissolved in Opti-MEM medium was added to each well to stimulate the cells for 1 hour. After inflammasome activation and compound treatment, the cell culture supernatant (120 μL) was collected in a 96-well plate, and 60 μL of LDH detection working solution (Shanghai Biyuntian Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was added, mixed, and incubated at room temperature in the dark for 30 min. The absorbance was measured at 490 nm, and the LDH release inhibition rate was calculated according to the following formula: LDH release inhibition rate (%) = (OD of DMSO treated group) 490 nm – Sample Group OD 490 nm ) / DMSO treatment group OD 490 nm ×100%. Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) of compounds chlorahololides H, J, L and chlorajaponilide E on NLRP3 inflammasome activation 50 ) was tested as follows: different concentration gradients (10 μM, 5 μM, 2.5 μM, 1.25 μM and 0.625 μM) were set for each compound, and the LDH release inhibition rate of the compound at different concentrations was tested respectively, and then the IC of the compound was calculated by nonlinear regression analysis using GraphPad Prism 7.0 software.50 Value. The cell viability was detected by MTT method to exclude the toxic effects of compounds chlorahololides H, J, L and chlorajaponilide E on cells. For specific experimental methods, please refer to Xing, Jie Zhang 2021 (ibid.). All experiments were repeated at least 3 times, and the experimental data were analyzed and calculated using GraphPadPrism7.0.
[0064] The experimental results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Chlorahololides H, J, L and chlorajaponilide E have significant NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitory activity at a concentration of 10 μM. The IC values of these compounds were further tested. 50 values, were 8.73 μM, 6.15 μM, 3.03 μM and 2.99 μM, respectively.

The LPS and nigericin treatment groups were operated as follows: the culture medium was removed, and 200 μL of 200 ng / mL LPS dissolved in Opti-MEM medium was added to each well to stimulate the cells for 3.5 hours, then the culture medium was aspirated, and 200 μL of the compound chlorajaponilide E (1 μM, 3 μM, and 9 μM) dissolved in Opti-MEM medium and DMSO (negative control, 1 μL / mL) were added to each well, and the cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator for 30 min. Finally, the medium was removed and 200 μL of 10 μM nigericin dissolved in Opti-MEM medium was added to each well to stimulate the cells for 1 hour. The untreated group was operated as follows: the medium was removed and 200 μL of Opti-MEM medium was added to each well. The group treated with chlorajaponilide E (9 μM) alone was operated as follows: the medium was removed and 200 μL of Opti-MEM medium was added to each well. After 3.5 hours, the medium was aspirated and 200 μL of 9 μM compound chlorajaponilide E dissolved in Opti-MEM medium was added to each well.
[0074] After the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes in the LPS and nigericin treatment groups, the supernatant was removed and 100 μL of 3 μg / mL PBS-prepared propidium iodide (PI, Shanghai Bio-Tech Co., Ltd.) and 0.5 μg / mL Hoechst 33342 (Shanghai Bio-Tech Co., Ltd.) were added as dyes to stain macrophages J774A.1. The staining was carried out at room temperature for 15 min and photographed with a fluorescent inverted microscope (Axio Observer3, Zeiss; Oberkochen, Germany). PI dyed pyroptotic cells red, and Hoechst 33342 dyed cell nuclei blue. The same operation was performed on the other two groups of experimental cells. All experiments were repeated at least 3 times. The experimental data were analyzed and calculated using GraphPad Prism7.0. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences between the groups. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. When P<0.05, it is statistically significant and there is a significant difference.
[0075] The results are as follows Figure 2 and 3 As shown. Figure 2 It can be seen that compared with the untreated group, the LPS and nigericin treatment groups can significantly increase the proportion of PI staining, indicating that the number of pyroptotic cells has increased significantly. However, there is no difference between the cells treated with chlorajaponilide E (9 μM) and the untreated group, indicating that the compound chlorajaponilide E does not cause pyroptosis in J774A.1 cells. In addition, in the LPS and nigericin treatment groups, compared with the negative control DMSO, chlorajaponilide E can reduce the proportion of J774A.1 cell pyroptosis in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that the compound can effectively inhibit cell pyroptosis caused by NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Figure 3 This is a quantitative graph of chlorajaponilide E inhibiting pyroptosis of J774A.1 cells. In the LPS and nigericin treatment groups, compared with the negative control DMSO, the pyroptosis of J774A.1 cells was inhibited after the administration of chlorajaponilide E (1μM, 3μM and 9μM), P<0.001, indicating that chlorajaponilide E can significantly inhibit the pyroptosis of J774A.1 cells induced by LPS and nigericin.
