Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine technology, and particularly relates to an anticoagulant polypeptide and its application in preparing a plasma kallikrein activity inhibitor. Background Art
[0002] Thrombosis is a common cause of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism. In 2010, thromboembolic conditions accounted for a quarter of global deaths, and antithrombotic therapy has become a major challenge in the healthcare field. Currently, the clinical use of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), heparin, and hirudin can effectively target and inhibit the coagulation cascade and platelet aggregation, but they are also associated with the risk of perioperative bleeding. In addition, these therapies cannot completely address the risk of re-thrombosis, highlighting a third mechanism that has not been fully addressed: inflammation.
[0003] Plasma kallikrein (PKa) is a multifunctional serine protease that plays a crucial role in thrombotic inflammation and cardiovascular events. Traditionally, PKa triggers inflammation by cleaving high-molecular-weight kininogen (KNG) to release bradykinin (BK), promoting the release of inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukins (IL). Furthermore, PKa plays a crucial role in the coagulation cascade, converting coagulation factor FXII to its active form (FXIIa). This activation leads to autoactivation of the contact pathway (intrinsic coagulation cascade) and thrombosis. Inhibition of the intrinsic coagulation pathway has been reported to be unrelated to hemostasis (bleeding), and the majority of patients with PKa deficiency do not have hemostatic defects. Therefore, PKa inhibition provides a theoretical target for the development of anti-inflammatory thrombotic drugs; currently, there is no potent anti-inflammatory thrombotic peptide drug that inhibits PKa with a low bleeding risk. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an anticoagulant polypeptide and its use in the preparation of a plasma kallikrein activity inhibitor, which can inhibit plasma kallikrein activity, has good anti-inflammatory thrombotic and stroke drug activity, low bleeding risk and low cytotoxicity, and high safety.

The anticoagulant polypeptide comprises one or more of the following: 1) the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1; 2) a partial fragment of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1, having less than 14 amino acid residues and comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 2. The anticoagulant polypeptide of the present invention can significantly inhibit plasma recalcification time and activated partial thromboplastin time, exhibits excellent anti-inflammatory, thrombotic, and stroke drug activity, and has low bleeding risk, low cytotoxicity, and a high safety profile.
[0017] Furthermore, in vitro experiments demonstrated that the amino acid sequence SD6, as shown in SEQ ID No. 2, can prolong plasma recalcification time and activated partial thromboplastin time, demonstrating a specific inhibitory effect on the intrinsic coagulation pathway. Within a dose range of 0.25 to 4 mg / kg, SD6 can mitigate arterial and cortical venous thrombosis in FeCl3- and photochemically induced mice without affecting bleeding. Furthermore, SD6 also reduced brain inflammation and edema in a mouse model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion ischemic stroke.

[0049] To further illustrate the present invention, an anticoagulant polypeptide provided by the present invention and its application in the preparation of a plasma kallikrein activity inhibitor are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] The materials used in the examples are as follows:
[0051] CW15: CTSVSLGASDPFDY (SEQ ID No. 1), commissioned by GLBiochem (China) to synthesize (purity 98%); SD6: SLGASD (SEQ ID No. 2), commissioned by GLBiochem (China) to synthesize (purity 98%); PKa: purchased from Enzyme Research, USA, HPKa1303.
[0052] Example 1
[0053] In order to detect the effects of SD6 and CW15 on PKa substrate hydrolysis, CW15-50μM, CW15-100μM, CW15-150μM, SD6-34μM, SD6-69μM, SD6-138μM, SD6-276μM7 and control groups were set up and treated as follows:
[0054] CW15-50 μM group: 50 μM CW15 was incubated with 35 nM PKa at 37°C for 3 min;
[0055] CW15-100 μM group: 100 μM CW15 was incubated with 35 nM PKa at 37°C for 3 min;
[0056] CW15-150 μM group: 150 μM CW15 was incubated with 35 nM PKa at 37°C for 3 min;
[0057] SD6-34 μM group: 34 μM SD6 was incubated with 35 nM PKa at 37°C for 3 min;
[0058] SD6-69 μM group: 69 μM SD6 was incubated with 35 nM PKa at 37°C for 3 min;
[0059] SD6-138 μM group: 138 μM SD6 was incubated with 35 nM PKa at 37°C for 3 min;
[0060] SD6-276 μM group: 276 μM SD6 was incubated with 35 nM PKa at 37°C for 3 min;
[0061] Control group: PBS and 35 nM PKa were incubated at 37°C for 3 min.
[0062] After the incubation, 50 μL of 30 nM PKa chromogenic substrate (S-2302; Chromogenix; USA) was added to 50 μL of each mixture, and the OD value was immediately measured using a microplate reader. 405nmKinetic monitoring was performed at the wavelength. Figure 1 A is the activity analysis diagram of CW15 on PKa, and B is the activity analysis diagram of SD6 on PKa.
[0063] To determine the SD6 inhibition constant, two 50 μL aliquots of the above mixture containing SD6 and the control solution were taken. 50 μL of 60 nM PKa chromogenic substrate was added to one aliquot and 50 μL of 30 nM PKa chromogenic substrate was added to the other aliquot. The OD values were immediately measured using a microplate reader. 405nm After obtaining the maximum reaction rate automatically generated by the microplate reader activity analysis, the inhibition constant analysis was performed using the Dixon double reciprocal plot method. The concentration of the inhibitors (CW15 and SD6) was plotted on the x-axis and the reciprocal of the reaction rate was plotted on the y-axis to generate a Dixon calculation image, such as Figure 1 Shown in C is the Dixon calculation diagram of SD6 and PKa used to obtain the inhibition constant Ki.
[0064] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the IC of CW15 50 The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (50%) was about 200 μM ( Figure 1 A), while the IC of SD6 50 The value is about 69μM ( Figure 1 (B) with a molecular weight of only 549 Da; this indicates that SD6 has better PKa inhibitory activity and a smaller molecular weight than CW15. In addition, Dixon diagram analysis showed that SD6 non-competitively inhibited PKa activity with an inhibition constant Ki value of 36.34 μM ( Figure 1 Middle C).
[0065] Example 2
[0066] PKa was immobilized on a CM5 chip (29149603, Cytiva, USA) with a level of 6000 RU. The mobile phase consisted of 0-600 μM SD6 at a flow rate of 30 μL / min and a binding time of 3 min. An increase in the RU value indicated that PKa bound to SD6. Figure 2 shown.
[0067] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that compared with the PBS control, the RU of SD6 at concentrations of 37.5μM, 75μM, 150μM, 300μM and 600μM increased by 7.6, 18.61, 41.33, 85.74 and 224.82, respectively. The association rate constant (Ka), dissociation rate constant (Kd) and equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of the interaction between SD6 and PKa were 8×10 3 M -1 s -1 , 5.11×10-2 s -1 and 6.39 μM, showing a strong binding ability.
[0068] Example 3
[0069] The extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation pathways in the coagulation cascade are involved in hemostasis and thrombosis, respectively. In coagulation assays, PRT and APTT show intrinsic intrinsic coagulation activity, while prothrombin time (PT) measures extrinsic coagulation activity.
[0070] Fresh plasma was randomly divided into four treatment groups: 26 μM, 52 μM, 104 μM and 208 μM, and processed as follows:
[0071] 26 μM group: 10 μL of 26 μM SD6 and 20 μL of fresh plasma were mixed and added to a 96-well plate;
[0072] 52 μM group: 10 μL of 52 μM SD6 and 20 μL of fresh plasma were mixed and added to a 96-well plate;
[0073] 104 μM group: 10 μL of 104 μM SD6 and 20 μL of fresh plasma were mixed and added to a 96-well plate;
[0074] 208 μM group: 10 μL of 208 μM SD6 and 20 μL of fresh plasma were mixed and added to a 96-well plate;
[0075] Then, 50 μL of HEPES (pH 7.4) buffer solution containing 150 mM NaCl was added to each group and incubated at 37°C for 10 min;
[0076] After the incubation, 60 μL of HEPES buffer solution containing 25 mM CaCl2 was added to each group, and the kinetics were immediately monitored in a microplate reader at an absorbance of 650 nm for 30 min. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 As shown in Table 1, Med represents the solvent control group, the upper figure is the kinetic absorbance record value, which reflects the degree of blood coagulation; the lower figure is the quantitative data of the upper figure, which is expressed at the time point corresponding to the maximum reaction rate.

[0080] The effects of 26 μM SD6, 52 μM SD6, 104 μM SD6 and 208 μM SD6 on APTT were determined according to the commercial kit (GMS10178.2, GenMed, USA) and the instructions provided therein. Figure 4 As shown in Table 2, Med represents the solvent control group, the upper figure is the kinetic absorbance record value, which reflects the degree of blood coagulation; the lower figure is the quantitative data of the upper figure, expressed at the time point corresponding to the maximum reaction rate.

[0083] The effects of 52 μM SD6, 104 μM SD6, and 208 μM SD6 on PT were determined according to the commercial kit (STY50101, Steelex, China) and the instructions provided. Figure 5 As shown in Table 3, Med represents the solvent control group, the upper figure is the kinetic absorbance record value, which reflects the degree of blood coagulation; the lower figure is the quantitative data of the upper figure, expressed at the time point corresponding to the maximum reaction rate.

[0085]
[0086]
[0087] Depend on Figures 3 to 5 As shown in Tables 1 to 3, the PRT values of the solvent control group (Med) ( Figure 3 ) was 234±4.04s, while the PRT value of the 208μM SD6-treated group was 406.3±6.44s; the APTT value of the solvent control group (Med) ( Figure 4 ) was 23±1s, while the PRT value of the 208μM SD6-treated group was 41.33±0.88s; the PT value of the solvent control group (Med) ( Figure 5 ) was 30.67±0.33s, while the PRT value of the 208μM SD6-treated group was 30±0.58s; it can be seen that SD6 prolonged the PRT (F 4,10 =133.87, p<0.0001) and APTT (F 4,10 =57.54, p<0.0001), but had no effect on PT (F 3,8 =0.60, p=0.63), indicating that SD6 inhibits the intrinsic coagulation pathway and has the potential not to affect bleeding.
[0088] Example 4
[0089] To evaluate the effect of SD6 on hemolysis, fresh blood samples were centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 min at room temperature. The supernatant was discarded and the obtained red blood cells were divided into 7 groups: positive control (Triton-X100) group, negative control (Control) group, SD6-5 group, SD6-10 group, SD6-20 group, SD6-40 group and SD6-80 group. The red blood cells in each group were 1×10 7 Cells were resuspended in 0.01 M PBS (pH 7.2) at a concentration of 10 cells / mL and treated as follows:
[0090] Positive control group (Triton-X100): incubate the resuspended red blood cells with the positive control Triton-X100 (0.1% v / v) at 37°C for 30 min;
[0091] Negative control group (Control): 200 μL of resuspended red blood cells were incubated with 20 μL of PBS at 37°C for 30 min;
[0092] SD6-5 group: resuspended red blood cells were incubated with 5 μg / mL SD6 at 37°C for 30 min;
[0093] SD6-10 group: resuspended red blood cells were incubated with 10 μg / mL SD6 at 37°C for 30 min;
[0094] SD6-20 group: resuspended red blood cells were incubated with 20 μg / mL SD6 at 37°C for 30 min;
[0095] SD6-40 group: resuspended red blood cells were incubated with 40 μg / mL SD6 at 37°C for 30 min;
[0096] SD6-80 group: The resuspended erythrocytes were incubated with 80 μg / mL SD6 at 37°C for 30 min.
[0097] After the incubation, each group of cells was centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 5 min, and then the light absorbance of the supernatant was measured at a wavelength of 540 nm using an enzyme-labeled instrument. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 6 and as shown in Table 4.

[0125]
[0126]
[0127] Depend on Figures 6-8 As shown in Tables 4 to 6, compared with the PBS-treated group, 5-80 μg / mL SD6 had a significant effect on erythrocyte hemolysis (F 5,12 =1.243, p=0.349, Figure 6 ) and HEK293T cells (F 5,11 =1.918, p=0.171, Figure 7 ) and mouse spleen cells (F 5,12 =1.282, p=0.334, Figure 8 ) had no effect on proliferation.
[0128] Example 5
[0129] The bleeding risk of SD6 was assessed using a tail-docking bleeding mouse model: 8-week-old male C57BL / 6J mice were divided into five groups (positive control (Heparin-1000 U / kg), negative control (Control), SD6-0.25, SD6-1, and SD6-4), with six mice in each group. The mice were treated as follows:
[0130] Positive control (Heparin-1000U / kg) group: intravenous injection of 1000U / kg heparin;
[0131] Negative control (Control) group: intravenous injection of 200 μL PBS;
[0132] SD6-0.25 group: intravenous injection of 0.25 mg / kg SD6;
[0133] SD6-1 group: intravenous injection of 1 mg / kg SD6;

[0138] Depend on Figure 9As shown in Table 7, the tail bleeding time of heparin-treated mice was significantly prolonged (201.5±18.81s) compared with the control mice (113±7.95s), but there was no significant difference in the tail bleeding time of mice treated with 0.25-4 mg / kg SD6 (F 3,20 =1.756, p=0.188), indicating that SD6 has a higher hemostatic safety compared with heparin, an anticoagulant positive drug targeting antithrombin III (AT-III).
[0139] Example 6
[0140] To evaluate the effects of SD6 on thrombosis, three different mouse models were used: a carrageenan-induced tail thrombosis model, a ferric chloride-induced carotid artery thrombosis model, and a Rose Bengal photochemically induced cerebral cortex thrombosis model. These models trigger thrombosis by inducing endothelial cell damage and inflammatory responses.
[0141] 1. Effect of SD6 on carrageenan-induced tail thrombosis in mice
[0142] Six-week-old male BALB / c mice were divided into five groups: positive control (Heparin-1000 U / kg), negative control (Control), SD6-0.25, SD6-1, and SD6-4, with six mice in each group. The mice were treated as follows:
[0143] Positive control (Heparin-1000 U / kg) group: 200 μL of 1% type I carrageenan (CC3171, Coolaber, China) dissolved in 0.9% saline was intraperitoneally injected, followed by an immediate intravenous injection of 1000 U / kg heparin sodium, supplemented every 12 h for a total of three injections;
[0144] Negative control group: 200 μL of 1% type I carrageenan (CC3171, Coolaber, China) dissolved in 0.9% saline was injected intraperitoneally, followed by immediate intravenous injection of PBS, which was replenished every 12 h for a total of three injections;
[0145] SD6-0.25 group: 200 μL of 1% type I carrageenan (CC3171, Coolaber, China) dissolved in 0.9% saline was injected intraperitoneally, followed by an immediate intravenous injection of 0.25 mg / kg SD6, supplemented every 12 h for a total of three injections;
[0146] SD6-1 group: 200 μL of 1% type I carrageenan (CC3171, Coolaber, China) dissolved in 0.9% saline was injected intraperitoneally, followed by an immediate intravenous injection of 1 mg / kg SD6, supplemented every 12 h for a total of three injections;
[0147] SD6-4 group: 200 μL of 1% type I carrageenan (CC3171, Coolaber, China) dissolved in 0.9% saline was injected intraperitoneally, followed by an immediate intravenous injection of 4 mg / kg SD6, supplemented every 12 h for a total of three injections;
[0148] Twelve hours after the last injection of each treatment group, the length of the tail thrombus of each mouse was observed and recorded. Figure 10 As shown in Table 8.

[0151] Figure 10 The results in Table 8 showed that compared with the control group, intravenous injection of 0.25-4 mg / kg SD6 significantly reduced the length of the tail thrombus in mice in a dose-dependent manner (F 3,20 =11.26, p=0.00015). The reduction in the 4 mg / kg SD6 group was comparable to that in the 1000 U / kg heparin group (p=0.5).
[0152] 2. Effect of SD6 on Ferric Chloride-Induced Carotid Artery Thrombosis
[0153] Eight-week-old male C57BL / 6J mice were divided into five groups (6 mice each): a positive control (Heparin-1000 U / kg), a negative control (Control), an SD6-0.25 group, an SD6-1 group, and an SD6-4 group. After anesthesia, a midline incision was performed on the neck to expose and isolate the left common carotid artery (CCA). A 4 mm diameter light shield was placed beneath the artery to reduce background blood flow interference. Subsequently, the following procedures were performed:
[0154] Positive control (Heparin-1000U / kg) group: intravenous injection of 1000U / kg heparin sodium;
[0155] Negative control (Control) group: intravenous injection of PBS;
[0156] SD6-0.25 group: intravenous injection of 0.25 mg / kg SD6;
[0157] SD6-1 group: intravenous injection of 1 mg / kg SD6;
[0158] SD6-4 group: intravenous injection of 4 mg / kg SD6;
[0159] Two minutes after intravenous injection, a piece of filter paper with a diameter of 4 mm was taken from each mouse and soaked in 10% ferric chloride solution and placed on the artery to induce arterial wall lesions for 2 minutes; then the filter paper was removed, and the blood flow was measured and imaged using a real-time laser speckle perfusion (LSP) imaging system (RWD, China) and SIM BFI software (SIM BFI HRPro, Simopto, China). When the color of the blood vessels in the image changed from red to blue, thrombus occlusion was determined. The continuous recording time was fixed at 30 minutes. Mice with an operation time of more than 10 minutes or mice with severe surgical bleeding were excluded from further data analysis. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 11 As shown in Table 9, Figure 11 A is the LSP imaging result, and B is the quantitative image of the corresponding blood flow in Figure A.

[0165] Depend on Figure 11 As shown in Tables 9 and 10, the reduction in blood flow in the carotid artery of mice injected intravenously with 1 mg / kg SD6 and 4 mg / kg SD6 at 10 and 13 minutes after ferric chloride induction was less than that in the control group ( Figure 11 A and B), indicating less thrombosis. The reduction rate of arterial thrombosis in mice treated with 4 mg / kg SD6 was also comparable to that in the heparin group ( Figure 11 (A, B).
[0166] 4. Effects of SD6 on photothrombosis in mouse cerebral cortex
[0167] Eight-week-old male C57BL / 6J mice were divided into five groups: positive control (Heparin-1000 U / kg), negative control (Control), SD6-0.25, SD6-1, and SD6-4, with six mice in each group. The mice were treated as follows:
[0168] Positive control (Heparin-1000U / kg) group: intravenous injection of 1000U / kg heparin, once every 12 hours, for a total of six injections;
[0169] Negative control group: intravenous injection of PBS 200 μL, once every 12 hours, for a total of six injections;
[0170] SD6-0.25 group: intravenous injection of 0.25 mg / kg SD6, once every 12 hours, for a total of six injections;
[0171] SD6-1 group: intravenous injection of 1 mg / kg SD6, once every 12 hours, for a total of six injections;
[0172] SD6-4 group: intravenous injection of 4 mg / kg SD6, once every 12 hours, for a total of six injections;
[0173] Twelve hours after the last injection (day 4), each mouse was intravenously injected with 50 mg / kg of Rose Bengal (330000, Sigma-Aldrich, USA); 1 hour later, the mice were anesthetized and the epidermis was incised along the midline from the eyes down to the neck to expose the skull. A 15.5 mW 562 nm yellow-green laser (R-LG561-100-A5, RWD, China) was used to irradiate the designated area for 6 minutes. On the second day of the CPS process, the skull was exposed again for LSP imaging to select mice with similar blood flow in the target irradiated brain area. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 12 As shown in Table 11, A is the LPS imaging result, and B is the LPS imaging blood flow quantitative graph.

[0176] Depend on Figure 12 As shown in Table 11, severe thrombosis and brain tissue damage occurred on day 1 of photochemically induced thrombosis, likely due to brain inflammation and subsequent activation of the coagulation cascade, which hindered the repair of intracranial damage. However, SD6 and heparin sodium alleviated these effects and accelerated blood flow recovery on day 4. Although blood flow recovery on day 4 was improved in the SD6-treated group (121±2.8 for 0.25 mg / kg, 143.17±3.89 for 1 mg / kg, and 122.33±9.17 for 4 mg / kg) compared to the control group (90.27±4.36), recovery was even better in the heparin-treated group (1000 U / kg), at 169±4.25. Despite these comparisons, precise quantitative analysis to assess the effects on brain tissue recovery was not possible. Overall, SD6 demonstrated a positive effect in reducing thrombosis and the progression of thrombosis.
[0177] Example 7
[0178] Effects of SD6 on tMCAO-induced cerebral ischemia injury
[0179] (1) Eight-week-old male C57BL / 6J mice were divided into five groups: positive control (Ecallantide-4 mg / kg), negative control (Control), SD6-0.25, SD6-1, and SD6-4, with 6 to 8 mice in each group. Each mouse was anesthetized and fixed on a 37°C constant temperature pad. The right CCA, external carotid artery (ECA), and internal carotid artery (ICA) were dissected. The upper end of the right ECA was tied, and a suture (diameter 0.23±0.02 mm, CNONTECH, China) was passed down through the ECA and guided into the ICA to occlude the MCA. 50 minutes after MCAO, the mice were treated as follows:
[0180] Positive control (Ecallantide-4 mg / kg) group: intravenous injection of 4 mg / kg Ecallantide (MCE, USA);
[0181] Negative control (Control) group: intravenous injection of 200 μL PBS;
[0182] SD6-0.25 group: intravenous injection of 0.25 mg / kg SD6;
[0183] SD6-1 group: intravenous injection of 1 mg / kg SD6;
[0184] SD6-4 group: intravenous injection of 4 mg / kg SD6;
[0185] Ten minutes after intravenous injection, the suture was slowly withdrawn to allow blood reperfusion. If mice died within 24 hours after tMCAO or the operation lasted longer than 15 minutes, they were excluded from the endpoint analysis.
[0186] To evaluate neurological function and infarct size 24 hours after tMCAO, the mice were first subjected to Bederson score and grip strength test. Figure 13 As shown in Tables 12 and 13, A is the grip test result and B is the Bederson score result.
[0187] The Bederson neurological function scoring system is as follows: 0 points, no behavioral disorder; 1 point, inability to extend the right forelimb; 2 points, rotation to the right; 3 points, tilt to the right; 4 points, no spontaneous activity with impaired consciousness; 5 points, death.
[0188] Grip strength test: A grip dynamometer (DS2-50N, Sansbio, China) was used to test the grip strength according to the manufacturer's instructions.

[0194] Figure 13 The results in Tables 12 and 13 show that compared with the control group (98.67±7.85gf), the grip strength of the mice in the 0.25mg / kg SD6-treated group (140.29±12.88gf), the 1mg / kg SD6-treated group (154.63±10.76gf), the 4mg / kg SD6-treated group (160.63±9.93gf), and the 4mg / kg Ecallantide-treated group (168.38±10.45gf) was significantly increased ( Figure 13 There was no significant difference between the low-dose (0.25 mg / kg) SD6 group and the high-dose (4 mg / kg) Ecallantide group (p=0.071), indicating that the efficacy was better than the positive control ( Figure 13 In addition, the Bederson neurological function scores of the mice in the 1mg / kg SD6 group and the 4mg / kg SD6 group (1.22±0.55 and 1.44±0.58, respectively) and the Bederson neurological function score of the mice in the 4mg / kg ecallantide group (1.33±0.58) were lower than those in the control group (3.33±0.5), indicating that the neurological function of the mice had recovered ( Figure 13 Middle B).
[0195] (2) After the Bederson score and grip strength test, the mice were killed and the brain sections were stained with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC). Specifically, after the mice were euthanized, the intact brain was immediately removed and placed in a -20°C environment for 3 minutes. Subsequently, 2 mm thick coronal sections were cut using a mouse brain slice mold (Harvard Apparatus, Holliston, MA, USA). These sections were stained with 2% TTC (T-8877, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and imaged after incubation at 37°C for 20 minutes. The cerebral infarction volume was calculated using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, USA) according to the following formula. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 14 As shown in Figure 14.
[0196] Cerebral infarction volume (V) = Sd / T 2, where S represents infarct size, d represents thickness, and T represents linear magnification.

[0199] Depend on Figure 14 As shown in Table 14, TTC staining of mouse brain sections revealed that the infarct area (white area) in the 4 mg / kg SD6-treated group (11.43% ± 2.18%) was not significantly different from the sham-operated group (4.59% ± 0.67%) (p = 0.112), and was more effective than the 4 mg / kg ecallantide-treated group (15.6% ± 3.02%), indicating that SD6 has a substantial protective effect on brain tissue.
[0200] (3) Another part of the brain tissue samples was taken to determine the brain water content by weighing the dry and wet weights or after homogenization, the IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the blood-brain barrier function of tMCAO mice after SD6 injection was analyzed by Evans blue staining. Figures 15 to 17 As shown in Tables 15 to 17.
[0201] ELISA: ELISA detection of IL-6 (DG30062M), IL-1β (DG30045M), and TNF-α (DG30048M) were performed using commercial kits (Dogesce, China) according to the instructions.
[0202] Evans blue staining: To evaluate the protective effect of SD6 on the blood-brain barrier, mice were injected with 200 μL of 0.5% Evans blue staining solution (R20616, China Yuanye Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) immediately after tMCAO surgery and sacrificed 24 hours later. Brain slices were homogenized after imaging, and the supernatant was quantitatively analyzed at 650 nm using a microplate reader. The imaging results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 17 As shown in A, the results of quantitative analysis by enzyme marker at 650nm are as follows Figure 17 As shown in B.

[0213] Depend on Figure 15 As shown in Tables 15 to 17, 24 hours after tMCAO surgery, the inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the mouse brain increased, but after intravenous injection of SD6, the inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were significantly reduced; it can be seen that SD6 can also reduce tMCAO brain inflammation and brain edema and protect the blood-brain barrier.
[0214] Reperfusion injury exacerbates inflammation and may lead to further thrombosis. The mutual deterioration of inflammation and thrombosis in the brains of tMCAO mice exacerbates brain edema and BBB disruption. As a PKa activity inhibitor, SD6 has considerable therapeutic potential. Intravenous injection of 0.25, 1, and 4 mg / kg can reduce brain water content by 1.5, 2.3, and 4 times, respectively ( Figure 16 , Table 19); the amount of Evans blue staining decreased by 1.9, 4.6 and 15.4 times, respectively ( Figure 17 (A-B, Table 18). Brain water content (p = 0.18) and Evans blue staining (p = 0.52) in the 1 mg / kg SD6-treated group were comparable to those in the 4 mg / kg ecallantide-treated group. These findings suggest that SD6 protects mice from tMCAO by inhibiting inflammation and thrombosis, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent for ischemic stroke.
[0215] It can be seen from the above examples that CW15 and SD6 can effectively inhibit PKa activity, thereby achieving the effect of anti-thrombotic inflammation. In vitro, SD6 can prolong the plasma recalcification time and activated partial thromboplastin time, and has a specific inhibitory effect on the intrinsic coagulation pathway. Within the dosage range of 0.25 to 4 mg / kg, SD6 can reduce arterial thrombosis and cortical venous thrombosis in FeCl3-induced and photochemically induced mice, and does not affect bleeding. In addition, SD6 also reduces brain inflammatory damage and cerebral edema in the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion ischemic stroke mouse model. It shows that the anticoagulant polypeptide provided by the present invention has good anti-inflammatory thrombotic and stroke drug activity, and has low bleeding risk and low cytotoxicity, and is relatively safe.
