Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a coumarin skeleton-containing enzymatic light-controlled nitric oxide donor, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Nitric oxide (NO) is endogenously synthesized by NO synthase and widely exists in mammalian tissues and cells. It is indispensable in the cardiovascular system, central nervous system and immune system. However, anything has two sides, and excessive NO can cause toxic side effects, leading to cell death. Therefore, the precise release and amount control of NO are very important for its medical and pharmacological effects. NO donors are a class of precursor drugs that can release NO in vivo, which refers to substances that do not need NOS catalysis to produce NO by themselves or with other substances. Due to its potential application value, more and more NO donors have been developed and applied to the treatment of various related diseases. However, traditional NO donors have many defects in use, such as lack of targeting and tissue specificity, too short drug action time, poor physiological stability, large toxic side effects on the human body, and difficult to grasp and control the effective dose. In recent years, a series of new NO donors have been developed and developed to solve the above problems, increasing the universality and feasibility of NO in clinical treatment, so the synthesis of nitric oxide donor compounds has become a research hotspot in recent years.

[0003] NO donors have been developed and widely used in biological research and clinical treatment. Today, the research trend of NO donors mainly focuses on the synthesis of new NO donors, the development of new application ways of traditional NO donors, the development of NO donor / drug combinations, and the research and development of tissue-specific NO donors. In these four research fields, due to the wide distribution of NO in the body, designing and synthesizing tissue-specific NO donors is the most challenging work. Due to the multiple physiological functions of NO, it is very difficult to develop a single NO donor to regulate a certain physiological function. However, in recent years, people have begun to understand this problem and have come up with some solutions, such as combining NO donors with tissue-specific ligands (especially monoclonal antibodies) to increase the targeting of drugs; in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, this drug can directly reach and act on the diseased site, while avoiding various side effects.

[0004] NO donor is a compound that releases NO after simple enzymatic or other action in vivo. It can effectively overcome the short life and short half-life of NO while storing and transporting it. It can release NO spontaneously or from specific molecular and macromolecular scaffolds under suitable stimulation (i.e. temperature, pH, light). Among them, light is a non-invasive means of regulating NO release, with the advantages of space-time control and adjustable wavelength / intensity of irradiation. Recent literature reports some light-triggered nitric oxide donors, but there are still many shortcomings in light-triggered nitric oxide donors, such as poor control effect on the position and release rate of nitric oxide. High morbidity of diabetes and vascular complications involves a series of risk factors related to oxidative stress and NO functional deficiency. Lysosomal alpha-glucosidase is a brush border membrane-bound enzyme present in the intestinal tract. Alpha-glucosidase in diabetic patients hydrolyzes oligosaccharides to release glucose, ultimately leading to postprandial hyperglycemia. Elevated blood glucose levels lead to accelerated glycosylation, resulting in advanced glycation end products (AGEs); the changes in protein structure and function caused by AGEs are considered to be the main link between diabetes and serious complications. Slowing down glucose absorption in the intestine by inhibiting the activity of alpha-glucosidase to reduce blood glucose is one of the simplest methods for treating diabetes. Long-term hyperglycemia is a characteristic of diabetes, which produces excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion, H2O2, ONOO-, NO, etc. High concentrations of NO produced by iNOS react with ROS to generate reactive nitrogen species (RNS), NO reacts with superoxide anion to generate ONOO-, and with ONOO- to generate NO2. Oxidative stress is the result of increased ROS production and decreased antioxidant systems, and oxidative stress will cause damage only when the antioxidant defense system cannot offset the excess ROS. The activation of oxidative stress produces a series of harmful metabolic processes, such as increased polyol activity, increased formation of AGEs, activation of protein kinase C, etc. In addition, clinical and experimental observations have shown that oxidative stress is the main mechanism for the occurrence of diabetes and complications. It is generally believed that during the postprandial phase, elevated blood glucose and oxidative stress can accelerate the formation of AGEs. Therefore, both hyperglycemia and AGEs are considered to be the main pathological causes of diabetic complications. Through nitric oxide photometry, we can have a clear understanding of the release kinetics, total amount and release rate of nitric oxide, which is of great significance to reveal the correlation between nitric oxide and biological reactions.

[0005] Meanwhile, the coumarin structure contained in the parent unit has certain advantages, and natural coumarin and its derivatives have been experimentally proved to have anti-diabetic activity and certain inhibitory capacity on alpha-glucosidase. Alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase are main target enzymes of coumarin derivatives, and the inhibitory effect can treat hyperglycemia. High-dose coumarin can produce toxicity, such as carcinogenicity and hepatotoxicity. In the existing coumarin derivative molecules, a nitroso group is introduced, NO is released under the condition of light to inhibit alpha-glucosidase, and then the biological activity is improved by the synergistic effect of the coumarin structure to reduce the toxic side effects, so that a compound with potential medicinal value is obtained. SUMMARY

[0108] Example 5 Detection of light-induced nitric oxide release

[0109] The process of light-induced nitric oxide release from solutions of nitric oxide donors I and II was investigated in phosphate buffer at room temperature. As shown in Figure 7 , 9, after 365nm ultraviolet light irradiation, the emission spectrum of the nitric oxide donor I and II solution changed significantly. The absorption peak of the original nitric oxide donor gradually disappeared, and the absorption peak of the product began to appear. After 70-80s of light irradiation, the ultraviolet absorption spectrum gradually tended to be consistent, indicating that the nitric oxide release from nitric oxide donor I was complete at about 80s of light irradiation. The fluorescence emission spectrum was also consistent with the predicted results, and the results are shown in Figure 8 , 10.

[0110] Example 6 Detection of whether nitric oxide is released and the amount of nitric oxide released

[0111] Next, the release of nitric oxide was detected by the Griess method, which is a well-recognized method in the industry. The most commonly used method for analyzing nitrite and nitrate is the Griess reaction. In the Griess reaction, nitrite reacts with sulfanilic acid under acidic conditions to form a diazonium ion, which then couples with α-naphthylamine to form a water-soluble red-violet azo dye with a maximum absorption wavelength at 524 nm. Therefore, the content of NO can be determined by measuring the content of nitrite by the Griess method. First, prepare the Griess reagent, and then prepare different concentrations of sodium nitrite solution and add the Griess reagent. Measure the absorbance at 524 nm, and plot the regression equation of absorbance versus sodium nitrite concentration as follows: Figure 11 .

[0112] Sample testing: Add 3.90 mL of PBS phosphate buffer, 100 μL of sample, and 100 μL of L-cysteine solution to a 10 ml centrifuge tube, respectively. After irradiation, add 1 mL of Griess reagent, and measure the absorbance value at 524 nm after 10 minutes. Substitute the measured absorbance value into the regression equation to obtain the NO release concentration. The concentration of the sample is 20 μM, and the nitric oxide release rate can be calculated. Two different solution environments (1. ethanol / PBS buffer 2. nanoparticle / PBS buffer) were used to test the sample, and the sample was prepared at a concentration of 20 μM.

[0113] Five test conditions were set: 1. Add L-cysteine, no light, room temperature; 2. 10 mW light, room temperature; 3. No light, room temperature; 4. 5 mW light, room temperature; 5. No light, 37°C

[0114] (1) Figure 12 is a scatter plot of the amount of nitric oxide released by Nitric Oxide Donor I in ethanol / PBS buffer under five conditions versus time. It can be seen that the maximum release efficiency of nitric oxide from Nitric Oxide Donor I is 38.00%, and under light conditions, it rapidly reaches a peak value at about 100 s.

[0115] (2) Figure 13 is a scatter plot of the amount of nitric oxide released by Nitric Oxide Donor I in nanoparticle / PBS buffer under five conditions versus time. It can be seen that the maximum release efficiency of nitric oxide from Nitric Oxide Donor I is 36.39%, and under light conditions, it rapidly reaches a peak value at about 10 min.
