Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and specifically to a pyranone compound. Background Technology

[0002] Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease caused by carbohydrate metabolism disorders. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, accounts for more than 90% of diabetes cases, causing immense suffering to patients. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are currently the main treatment for T2DM and play an important role in clinical application. However, only three alpha-glucosidase inhibitors have been approved by the FDA, all of which are natural products derived from microorganisms.

[0003] Uric acid (UA) is the final product of purine metabolism and is mainly excreted through the kidneys. Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a metabolic disease caused by purine metabolism disorders, primarily due to increased UA synthesis or decreased renal excretion, and is the biochemical basis of gout. Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a key enzyme in uric acid production and has become a good target for anti-hyperuricemia drugs. Clinical epidemiological data also show a close relationship between hyperuricemia and diabetes. In addition to its effects on diabetes itself, the influence of certain hypoglycemic drugs on UA ​​metabolism has attracted considerable attention in the medical community.

[0004] With economic development and improved living standards, the incidence of diabetes and hyperuricemia is increasing year by year, and is showing a trend towards affecting younger people. Currently, most clinically available hypoglycemic drugs have certain side effects. Therefore, it is crucial and holds great potential to explore novel natural products derived from microorganisms and develop drugs that simultaneously lower both blood sugar and uric acid.

[0067] In vitro inhibitory activity of compound Ellagic acid C against α-glucosidase

[0068] Glucosidase, a membrane-bound enzyme of the small intestinal epithelial cells, resides on the microvilli of the brush border cells and plays a crucial role in carbohydrate digestion. Therefore, it can serve as a drug target for the treatment of diabetes. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors competitively inhibit the activity of alpha-glucosidase in the small intestine, delaying or inhibiting glucose absorption in the gut, thereby effectively reducing postprandial blood glucose spikes and regulating blood glucose levels. They play a vital role in suppressing postprandial hyperglycemia.

[0069] This invention describes the in vitro inhibitory activity assay for the compound Ellagic acid C. In an in vitro enzyme reaction system, the compound interacts with the enzyme by adding a substrate, enzyme, and buffer solution. The enzyme's UV absorbance level is then measured using a microplate reader, and its IC50 value is determined accordingly. 50 To determine the in vitro inhibitory activity of the target compound against α-glucosidase.

[0070] Experimental methods

[0071] Set up a 200 μL reaction system. Add 130 μL of PBS buffer to the sample group, followed by 10 μL of Ellagic acid C solution and 10 μL of 0.1 U / mL enzyme solution. Incubate at 37 °C for 20 min, then add 50 μL of 0.5 mM PNPG to each well, incubate at 37 °C for 40 min, and finally stop the reaction by adding 100 μL of Na2CO3 to each well.

[0072] Inhibition rate (%) =

[0079] In vitro inhibitory activity of compound Ellagic acid C against xanthine oxidase

[0080] Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a flavoprotein protease with low specificity, widely distributed in organisms. It effectively catalyzes the conversion of xanthine or hypoxanthine into uric acid, making it a key enzyme in uric acid production. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors reduce uric acid production by inhibiting the activity of xanthine oxidase in the body, and have become a research hotspot in the relief and treatment of hyperuricemia. Currently, the main drugs used clinically to inhibit xanthine oxidase activity include allopurinol and febuxostat, which can cause a series of adverse reactions, such as liver dysfunction, allergic reactions, and acute renal failure. Therefore, xanthine oxidase inhibitors still have great research potential.

[0081] This invention describes the in vitro inhibitory activity assay for the compound ellagic acid C. The assay involves adding a substrate, enzyme, and buffer solution to an in vitro enzyme reaction system to allow the compound to interact with the enzyme. The UV absorbance level of the product uric acid is then measured using a microplate reader, and its IC50 value is subsequently determined. 50 To determine the in vitro inhibitory activity of the target compound against xanthine oxidase.

[0082] Experimental methods

[0083] To establish a 200 μL reaction system, 60 μL of sodium phosphate buffer solution was added to a 96-well microplate, along with 50 μL of samples of different concentrations. Then, 30 μL (or 5 U / L) xanthine oxidase (XO) solution preheated at 25 °C was added and mixed well. After incubation at 25 °C in the dark for 15 min, 60 μL of 150 μM xanthine substrate was added to initiate the reaction. After reacting at room temperature for 5 min, the absorbance was measured at 295 nm.

[0084] Inhibition rate (%) =

[0085] In the formula, As represents the sample group (Ellagic acid C + enzyme + PBS), As represents the control group (enzyme + PBS), Ab represents the blank sample group (Ellagic acid C + PBS), and A1 represents the blank control group (PBS) of the control group, with allopurinol as the positive control.

[0088] As shown in Table 4, the IC50 of the compound Ellagic acid C on xanthine oxidase inhibition is... 50 The IC50 of allopurinol is 0.41 ± 0.09 μg / mL. 50 The concentration was 0.49 ± 0.06 μg / mL, indicating that the compound Ellagic acid C was more active than the positive control drug allopurinol.

[0089] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of specific implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
