Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and specifically relates to a tetraphenylethylene compound and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the number of clinical drug-resistant bacterial infections is increasing and the mortality rate is gradually rising. The therapeutic effect of traditional antimicrobial drugs on drug-resistant bacterial infections is becoming increasingly limited and can no longer meet the needs of modern clinical treatment. Therefore, it is urgent to find new antimicrobial drugs that have a different mechanism of action from existing antimicrobial drugs and are not easy to induce bacterial resistance to cope with this dilemma.

[0003] Traditional methods for pathogen detection mainly include bacterial culture and morphological observation, which have poor timeliness. Fluorescent probes can quickly and accurately detect the presence of pathogens. However, fluorescent probes with traditional structures generally have the defect of aggregation quenching effect, which greatly limits their effectiveness. Luminescent molecules with aggregation-induced emission characteristics can overcome the aggregation quenching effect and have become powerful fluorescent tools for pathogen detection and antibacterial treatment. Fluorescent antibacterial drugs have the characteristics of both antibacterial compounds and fluorescent probes. They can be used to treat bacterial infections, and can also be used to clarify the mechanism of action of antibacterial drugs, detect pathogen infections, and track the uptake of antibacterial drugs in organisms. Therefore, the development of fluorescent antibacterial drugs can provide new ideas for solving the problem of bacterial resistance. Summary of the invention

[0073] The present invention includes free forms of compounds of formula I, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers thereof. Some specific exemplary compounds of the present invention are amine compounds in non-salt form, i.e., "free forms". Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from compounds of the present invention containing a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Typically, salts of basic compounds are prepared by ion exchange chromatography or by reacting a free base with a stoichiometric amount or excess of an inorganic or organic acid in the desired salt form in an appropriate solvent or a combination of multiple solvents. Similarly, salts of acidic compounds are formed by reacting with an appropriate inorganic or organic base.

[0074] Therefore, the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include conventional non-toxic salts of the compounds of this invention formed by reacting alkaline compounds of this invention with inorganic or organic acids. For example, conventional non-toxic salts include salts derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, etc., and also include salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, succinic acid, glycolic acid, stearic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, pamoic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, phenylacetic acid, glutamic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, 2-acetoxy-benzoic acid, fumaric acid, toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, oxalic acid, isethionic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, etc.

[0075] If the compound of the present invention is acidic, then suitable "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refer to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic bases including inorganic bases and organic bases. Salts derived from inorganic bases include aluminum salts, ammonium salts, calcium salts, copper salts, iron salts, ferrous salts, lithium salts, magnesium salts, manganic salts, manganous salts, potassium salts, sodium salts, zinc salts, etc. Ammonium salts, calcium salts, magnesium salts, potassium salts and sodium salts are particularly preferred.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSAN315 and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSANCTC 10442 were provided by Qingyuan Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University.

[0171] The specific operations are as follows:

[0172] The strain to be tested was inoculated into MHA medium and incubated in a 37°C incubator for 24 h. An appropriate amount of bacteria was picked up with a sterile inoculation loop and dispersed in PBS buffer and its OD 600 was adjusted to 0.1. Finally, the suspension was diluted with MHB to a density of about 1×10 6 CFU / mL. The compound to be tested was dissolved in DMSO / H2O to a 1 mg / mL stock solution, diluted with MHB and added to the bacterial suspension to make the working concentration of the compound on the 96-well plate 0.19-25 μg / mL. The 96-well plate was placed in a 37°C constant temperature incubator and incubated for 24 hours. The MIC value of the compound was determined by measuring OD600 with an enzyme reader. The experiment was repeated at least twice.

[0173] The antibacterial activity results are shown in Table 1. Among them, compounds TK07, TK09, TK24, and TK38 showed excellent in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria (including drug-resistant bacteria) (MIC=0.39-6.25μg / mL); compounds TK25, TK26, and TK35 showed excellent in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (including drug-resistant bacteria), and the antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria was weaker than that against Gram-positive bacteria; among them, compound TK24 showed the best broad-spectrum antibacterial activity.

[0177] Example 16 In vitro cytotoxicity test

[0178] In this example, the CCK-8 method was used to determine the cytotoxicity of compound TK24 on mouse fibroblasts (NTCT clone 929) and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293). 50 The specific method is as follows:

[0179] The cells in good condition were inoculated into a 96-well plate containing 100 μL of DMEM medium (containing 10% fetal bovine serum), placed in a 37°C (5% CO2) incubator for 24 hours, and then the medium was carefully removed. The compound TK24 solution prepared with DMSO / DMEM was slowly added to the experimental group wells to make the working concentration on the 96-well plate 3.125-100 μg / mL. The control group was not treated with drugs, and the blank group only contained culture medium. After continuing to culture for 24 hours under the same conditions as above, 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent was added to each well, and after continuing to incubate for 1 hour, the absorbance value at 450nm was recorded on the Biotek multi-function microplate reader. The final cell viability calculation formula: % cell viability = [(Abs 样品 -Abs 阴性对照 ) / (Abs 阳性对照 -Abs 阴性对照 )] × 100. This experiment was performed with at least two biological replicates.

[0180] The results are as follows Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, after the cells were treated with 50 μg / mL of compound TK24, the survival rates of NCTC clone 929 cells and HEK293 cells remained at 65.67±4.14% and 78.36±3.99%, respectively. 50 The values ​​were all greater than 50 μg / mL, indicating that it has low cytotoxicity to mammalian cells and high biosafety.

[0181] Example 17 SYTOX Green Test

[0182] This example studies the cell membrane permeability of the compound to Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus ATCC29213, MRSANCTC10442) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli ATCC25922, K. pneumoniae ATCC10031) by testing the fluorescence intensity change of the cell nucleic acid dye SYTOX Green. The specific operation is as follows:

[0183] Take a single colony and culture it in 25mL of MHB for 6-8h (37℃, 220rpm), then wash the bacteria 3 times with PBS buffer (5000rpm, 5min), prepare a bacterial suspension (OD600=0.2), add 0.3μM SYTOX Green dye under light-proof conditions, evenly disperse it in the suspension and add it to a 24-well plate. Monitor the fluorescence of the mixture using a Biotek multi-function microplate reader (excitation wavelength 504nm, emission wavelength 523nm). After the fluorescence signal stabilizes, different concentrations of compounds (dissolved in DMSO) are added to the experimental group to make their working concentrations 4 and 8 times the MIC, respectively, and the positive control group is treated with 0.5% Triton solution. Continue to monitor and record the changes in fluorescence intensity for about 1h. The experiment was repeated at least twice.

[0184] In this example, SYTOX Green staining was used to study the membrane-permeabilizing effect of compound TK24. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, after adding 4× and 8× MIC concentrations of compound TK24 to the bacterial solution of S. aureus ATCC29213, MRSANCTC10442, E. coli ATCC25922 and K. pneumoniae ATCC10031 containing SYTOX Green dye, the fluorescence intensity in the mixed solution increased significantly with the increase of drug concentration, while the fluorescence intensity of the control group (not treated with drug) remained basically unchanged. The results show that compound TK24 can damage the integrity of bacterial cell membranes, thereby achieving a bactericidal effect.

[0185] Example 18 Drug resistance development trend assessment test

[0186] This experiment was used to evaluate the tendency of MRSANCTC10442 and E. coliATCC25922 to develop resistance to compound TK24. The initial MIC values ​​of the compounds against the two bacteria were tested on a 96-well plate, and the control group drugs were norfloxacin and amoxicillin. The next day, the bacteria in the sub-inhibitory concentration treatment wells were selected to prepare a suspension (1×10 6 CFU / mL) for the next MIC value determination, and so on, repeat the test 21 times. A change in MIC value greater than 4 times is defined as bacterial resistance to the compound.

[0187] Test results such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, on the 12th day, the MIC value of ciprofloxacin to MRSANCTC10442 increased to 32 times, indicating that MRSANCTC10442 quickly developed resistance to ciprofloxacin. The MIC value of compound TK24 remained within 4 times within 21 days, indicating that MRSANCTC10442 is not likely to develop bacterial resistance to compound TK24 ( Figure 3a); On the 9th day, the MIC value of amoxicillin against E. coli ATCC25922 increased to 8 times, while the MIC value of compound TK24 remained within 4 times within 21 days, indicating that E. coli ATCC25922 quickly developed resistance to amoxicillin, but was not easy to develop resistance to compound TK24 ( Figure 3 b). The above results indicate that compound TK24 is not likely to induce drug resistance in bacteria and has great potential in clinical applications.

[0188] Example 19 Evaluation of in vivo antibacterial activity

[0189] The in vivo efficacy evaluation experiment has been approved by the Experimental Animal Center of South China Agricultural University and was conducted in accordance with the policy of the Ministry of Health. Female C57BL / 6 mice of appropriate age (6-8 weeks) and uniform weight (18-20g) were selected, and an immunosuppressive mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (100 mg / kg), with one day between each injection, for a total of 3 injections. S. aureus ATCC29213 inoculated on the MHA plate was evenly dispersed in 25 mL of MHB and cultured overnight (37°C, 220 rpm), and the bacteria were washed 3 times with PBS buffer (5000 rpm, 5 min) to prepare a bacterial suspension (OD600 = 1.0). After the mice were anesthetized with 2.5% avertin anesthetic (500 mg / kg), the right cornea of ​​the mouse was scratched with a sterile needle under a microscope, and the bacterial suspension (20 μL) was dripped into the injured corneal surface to establish a corneal infection model in mice. The next day, the infected mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (5 mice in each group) and treated with the corresponding solution (5% vancomycin, 0.3% compound TK24, 0.5% compound TK24 or 5% glucose) 4 times a day for 3 consecutive days. Finally, the mice were euthanized, the right cornea of ​​the mice was collected, and the number of live bacteria on the cornea was counted using the MHA plate counting method. This experiment was performed using SPSS25.0 software for independent sample t-tests, and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

[0190] The experimental results are as follows Figure 4As shown, compared with the negative control group, both the experimental group and the positive control group can significantly reduce the number of S. aureus ATCC29213 in the infected cornea. After treatment with 5% vancomycin, it was reduced by 5.89 log (p < 0.05); after treatment with 0.3% and 0.5% compound TK24, it was reduced by 3.74 log (p < 0.05) and 5.64 log (p < 0.05), respectively. These results show that under the condition that the therapeutic concentration is 10 times lower than that of vancomycin, 0.5% compound TK24 showed a therapeutic effect comparable to vancomycin in the treatment of the S. aureus ATCC29213 corneal infection model in mice, and after reducing the dose, 0.3% compound TK24 still showed an excellent bactericidal effect, with a bactericidal rate of 99.9%. It can be seen that compound TK24 has excellent in vivo antibacterial activity.

[0191] Example 20 Laser confocal imaging experiment

[0192] The "lighting up" effect of compound TK24 on MRSANCTC10442, E.coliATCC25922, A.baumannii R2889 and K.pneumoniaeATCC10031 was observed by laser confocal microscopy. Take appropriate amount of bacteria and place them in MHB for shaking culture for 6-8h (37°C, 220rpm). Wash twice with PBS buffer and adjust the OD value of the bacterial solution to 1.0, add compound TK24 prepared with DMSO to a final concentration of 10μM in the bacterial suspension. Incubate in a 37°C incubator for 30min. After incubation, wash twice with PBS buffer and resuspend. Pipette 2μL of bacterial solution onto a glass slide and observe its fluorescence image under a laser confocal microscope with an excitation wavelength of 405nm.

[0193] Compound TK24 can generate fluorescent signals after interacting with bacteria, and has the ability to "light up" bacteria. Figure 5 As shown, compound TK24 was incubated with MRSANCTC10442, E. coli ATCC25922, A. baumannii R2889 and K. pneumoniae ATCC10031 for 30 minutes and then observed under a laser confocal microscope. The results showed that compound TK24 could interact with all four bacteria to produce visible fluorescence. Among them, all Gram-positive bacteria could be "lit up" and the fluorescence signal was the strongest. In contrast, the fluorescence signal of Gram-negative bacteria was unevenly distributed, and some bacterial cells failed to be stained. Under the same conditions, the staining degree of Gram-positive bacteria was better than that of Gram-negative bacteria. Compound TK24 can quickly "light up" bacteria, causing them to emit visible fluorescence signals visible to the naked eye in a short time, providing a powerful tool for pathological studies of bacterial infections and applied to bacterial diagnosis and treatment.
