Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine technology, and specifically relates to the use of the traditional Chinese medicine compound lulutong acid in the preparation of anti-hepatitis B virus drugs. Background Art
[0002] Hepatitis B is a contagious liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Its main transmission routes include blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual transmission. After the HBV enters liver cells, it undergoes viral replication, transcription, and assembly. The virally replicated hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), HBsAg, and HBsAg are released onto the liver cell membrane, stimulating the body's immune system to recognize and react. This antigen-antibody reaction on the liver cell membrane can damage and destroy liver cells, leading to a range of clinical symptoms and potentially chronic infection, with a high risk of developing cirrhosis and liver cancer.
[0003] Currently, commonly used drugs for the treatment of hepatitis B virus include nucleoside analogs and interferon drugs. However, these drugs either have long treatment cycles, are prone to causing drug-resistant mutations in the HBV virus, or have a number of adverse reactions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to continuously develop new therapies and safer and more effective drugs based on existing ones to achieve a functional cure for HBV. As an effective option for disease treatment, Chinese herbal medicines, whether used as prescriptions or monomeric compounds, have a significant role in disease treatment. Currently, various anti-hepatitis B virus prescriptions or monomeric compounds have been proposed in various schemes. These can not only improve patients' liver function and regulate the body's immune function, but also have relatively few side effects and good patient compliance and tolerance.
[0004] Betulonic acid is a triterpenoid compound isolated from the Chinese herbal medicine Liquidambar formosana Hance (the dried mature infructescence of Liquidambar formosana Hance, a plant of the Hamamelidaceae family). Its molecular formula is C 30 H 46 O3, molecular weight is 454.34, and the structural formula is as follows:
[0005]
[0006] Studies have shown that lulutong acid has multiple biological effects such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, and anti-tumor.
[0007] However, there are currently no research reports on the inhibitory effect of HBV replication and transcription, as well as the anti-hepatitis B virus effect of lumefantrine. Summary of the Invention
[0008] In view of this, the primary purpose of the present invention is to provide the use of passutonic acid in the preparation of anti-hepatitis B virus drugs. The present invention determines that passutonic acid has a significant inhibitory effect on hepatitis B virus (HBV), providing a new solution for the development of new drugs against hepatitis B virus. Moreover, as a traditional Chinese medicinal material, passutonic acid has abundant medicinal resources and low cost, and is of great significance to the development of anti-hepatitis B virus drugs.
[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0010] One aspect of the present invention provides the use of lulutong acid in the preparation of anti-hepatitis B virus drugs.

[0013] b: Inhibit the production and replication of hepatitis B virus antigen;
[0014] c: Inhibit the expression of hepatitis B virus mRNA;
[0015] d: Inhibit the expression of HBV transcription factors;
[0016] e: Treatment of hepatitis B.
[0017] Another aspect of the present invention provides an anti-hepatitis B virus drug containing an effective concentration of lulutong acid.
[0018] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0019] Extensive experiments have confirmed that passutonic acid has a significant inhibitory effect on hepatitis B virus (HBV). Passutonic acid can inhibit the production and replication of HBV antigens, the expression of HBV mRNA, and the expression of HBV transcription factors. Furthermore, using a HBV mouse model, passutonic acid has been shown to be effective in treating and controlling HBV, providing new insights into the development of HBV medications.
[0020] In addition, as a traditional Chinese medicine compound, lulutong acid is widely available, easy to extract, and low in cost. More importantly, it has low cytotoxicity and has a significant inhibitory effect on HBV at lower drug concentrations, which is of great significance for the development of new anti-hepatitis B virus drugs.

[0046] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the effective concentration of lulutonic acid is 10 μM or 20 μM.
[0047] More preferably, the effective concentration of the passutonic acid is 20 μM.
[0048] It is understood that the anti-HBV drug described in the present invention may also include any pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and / or carriers. These excipients and / or carriers are auxiliary components used in pharmaceutical formulations, and preferably, are components that can enhance drug absorption by a subject, increase the drug's biological activity, or mitigate the drug's side effects. For example, it can be a solvent (such as water, ethanol, etc.), a solubilizer or co-solvent (such as cyclodextrin, etc.), an emulsifier (such as lecithin, etc.), a colorant, a binder (such as starch, etc.), a disintegrant (such as cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, etc.), a filler (such as lactose, etc.), a lubricant (such as magnesium stearate, etc.), a wetting agent (such as polysorbate, etc.), an osmotic pressure regulator (such as sodium chloride, etc.), a stabilizer (such as ascorbic acid, etc.), a glidant (such as colloidal silicon dioxide, etc.), an anti-caking agent (such as silicate, etc.), a flavoring agent (such as sodium saccharin, etc.), an antioxidant (such as tocopherol, etc.), a gelling agent (such as gelatin, etc.), a buffer (such as phosphate buffer, etc.), and a carrier material (such as microcrystalline cellulose, etc.), but is not limited thereto.

[0050] Furthermore, the anti-HBV drug of the present invention may also include other known active pharmaceutical ingredients with anti-HBV effects, thereby exerting a better anti-HBV effect. Preferably, these active pharmaceutical ingredients are traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, thereby preparing a traditional Chinese medicine compound. It is understandable that these active pharmaceutical ingredients should have an additive or synergistic promoting effect with lulutong acid, and will not produce toxic side effects with lulutong acid. The selection of specific drugs can be carried out by those skilled in the art by methods well known in the art. It should be noted that if it is a traditional Chinese medicine compound, it needs to be carried out in accordance with the traditional Chinese medicine prescription compatibility principle of "monarch, minister, assistant and envoy".

[0061] Example 1 Toxicity test of lulutong acid on HepG2.215 cells
[0062] In this example, the CCK8 cytotoxicity test was used to detect the toxicity of different concentrations of passutonic acid on HepG2.215 cells to preliminarily determine the safe concentration range of passutonic acid on HepG2.215 cells. The specific steps are as follows:
[0063] HepG2.215 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a rate of 20,000 cells per well using DMEM growth medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. When the cells reached approximately 70% confluency, a 10mM stock solution of passepartout acid prepared by dissolving passepartout acid dry powder in DMSO was diluted with DMEM growth medium to different concentrations of 5μM, 10μM, 15μM, 20μM, 25μM, 30μM, 35μM, and 40μM. The medium in the 96-well plate was replaced with 100μL of drug-containing growth medium per well. A control group (given an equal volume of DMSO) and a blank group (without cells) were set up, with three replicates per group. The cells were cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 48 hours. After 48 hours, discard the supernatant and add 100 μL of DMEM growth medium containing 10% CCK8 cytotoxicity detection solution. Continue to culture in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for a suitable time. After that, measure the OD value at 450 nm using a microplate reader. The results are shown in the table. Figure 1 .
[0064] pass Figure 1 It can be seen that lulutong acid has low drug toxicity to HepG2.215 cells within the dosage concentration of 30 μM.
[0065] Example 2 Drug toxicity of thiazolinone to HepG2.215 cells at safe concentrations
[0066] Based on the results in Example 1, flow cytometry was used in this example to further determine the drug toxicity of lulutong acid on HepG2.215 cells at a safe dosing concentration. The specific steps were as follows:
[0067] HepG2.215 cells were plated in a six-well plate in DMEM growth medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, with approximately 500,000 cells per well. When the HepG2.215 cells reached approximately 70% confluency in the six-well plate, 10mM lipoic acid stock solution was diluted with the above medium to different drug concentrations of 5μM, 10μM, 15μM, and 20μM. 100μL of lipoic acid-containing medium was added to the six-well plate. A control group (an equal volume of DMSO) was also set up, with 3 replicates per group. The cells were cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 48 hours. After 48 hours, the cell supernatant and cells were collected, centrifuged and the supernatant discarded. The cells were resuspended in 200μL PBS buffer and stained with 2μL PI dye. The cells were then subjected to flow cytometry to detect cell viability. For results, see [see ]. Figure 2 .
[0068] pass Figure 2 It can be seen that compared with the control group, lulutong acid has extremely low cytotoxicity to HepG2.215 cells at a dosage concentration of less than 20 μM.
[0069] Example 3 Inhibitory effect of different concentrations of lulutong acid on the production of HBsAg and HBeAg in HepG2.215 cells
[0070] Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is the earliest and most important marker of hepatitis B virus infection, and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) is a marker of hepatitis B virus replication. In this example, the inhibitory effect of lulutong acid on the production of HBsAg and HBeAg in HepG2.215 cells at different dosage concentrations was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The specific steps are as follows:
[0071] HepG2.215 cells were plated in 12-well plates and cultured in the same manner as in Example 1. When the HepG2.215 cells grew to a confluency of about 70% in the 12-well plate, the culture medium was discarded and the thiazolinone was diluted to 10 μM and 20 μM with new DMEM growth medium. A control group (DMSO with the same drug volume) was set up at the same time, with 3 replicates per group. The cells were cultured in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 48 hours. The supernatant of the culture medium was then aspirated and the OD value was measured on a microplate reader according to the instructions of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. The results can be found in the table below. Figure 3 .
[0072] pass Figure 3 It can be seen that with the increase of the concentration of lulutong acid, the amount of HBsAg and HBeAg produced by HepG2.215 cells decreased ( Figure 3 a and Figure 3 b) showed significant differences compared to the control group. These results indicate that lulutong acid at 10μM and 20μM concentrations significantly inhibited the production of HBsAg and HBeAg in HepG2.215 cells. Compared to the control group, * indicates a significant difference (P<0.05); ** indicates an extremely significant difference (P<0.01); *** indicates an even more significant difference (P<0.001); and **** indicates an extremely significant difference (P<0.0001).
[0073] Example 4 Inhibitory effect of different concentrations of lulutong acid on mRNA expression in HepG2.215 cells
[0074] The level of HBV mRNA reflects the activity of HBV infection. A high level of HBV mRNA indicates active viral replication and strong infectivity. In this example, the inhibitory effect of different concentrations of lulutonic acid on mRNA expression in HepG2.215 cells was determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The specific steps are as follows:
[0075] The same cell plating and culture method as in Example 3 was used to extract RNA from HepG2.215 cells 48 hours after administration, and then the reverse transcription kit ( Reverse transcription was performed according to the instructions for the Plus All-in-one 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis SuperMix (gDNA Purge). The cDNA was diluted tenfold and used as a template. The qPCR system was configured as follows: 2 μL of diluted cDNA, 7 μL of ddH2O, 10 μL of SYBR, and 0.5 μL of each upstream and downstream primer per well of a 96-well plate. The primer information involved is shown in the following table:
[0076]
[0077] According to the kit ( Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was performed using the qPCR protocol in the SYBR qPCR SuperMix Plus manual. The relative expression of total RNA and pgRNA was calculated using the non-administered control group as a reference to evaluate changes in mRNA expression. For results, see Figure 4 .
[0078] pass Figure 4 It can be seen that compared with the control group, lulutong acid at a concentration of 20 μM has a significant inhibitory effect on the mRNA expression of HepG2.215 cells ( Figure 4 a and Figure 4 b). * indicates significant difference (P<0.05); ** indicates extremely significant difference (P<0.01).
[0079] Example 5 Inhibitory effect of lulutong acid on the expression of HBV transcription factors.
[0080] HBV transcription factors play a very important role in the replication and expression of hepatitis B virus. High or active expression of HBV transcription factors promotes the replication and expression of HBV virus, thereby promoting the development of hepatitis B. In this example, Western blot was used to study the inhibitory effect of lulutonic acid on the expression of HBV transcription factors (PPARγ, PGC1α, HNF4α, and HNF1α). The specific steps are as follows:
[0081] HepG2.215 cells were cultured and administered using the same method as in Example 2. After 48 hours, the cells were harvested, washed twice with PBS, and the supernatant was discarded. 200 μL of protein lysis buffer NP-40 was added to lyse the cells on ice for 40 to 60 minutes, centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 15 minutes, and the supernatant was transferred to another clean EP tube. After the concentration of the supernatant was determined using a BCA kit, protein samples of equal concentration were prepared. The different transcription factor protein bands were then detected by Western blot. The test results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 5 .
[0082] pass Figure 5 It can be seen that lulutong acid has a significant inhibitory effect on the protein expression of HBV transcription factors at the dosage concentration of 10μM and 20μM, and has a certain dose-effect relationship.
[0083] Example 6 Construction of a Hepatitis B Mouse Model to Study the Effect of Lulutong Acid in the Hepatitis B Mouse Model
[0084] In this example, a hepatitis B mouse model was constructed to further study and determine the therapeutic effect of lulutong acid on hepatitis B virus. The specific steps are as follows:
[0085] 1. Construction of Hepatitis B Mouse Model
[0086] 6-8 week-old CL57 mice were injected with HBV AAV8 [HBV-D, ayw] (D#2012) (diluted in PBS) in the orbital cavity twice weekly. Blood was then collected from the orbital cavity, and serum levels of HBsAg and HBeAg were measured to determine if the model was successfully established.
[0087] 2. Drug administration experiment
[0088] The successfully established hepatitis B mouse model was divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received an intraperitoneal injection of 20 μM 100 μL of a 10 μM stock solution of pamoate diluted in PBS, while the control group received the same volume of PBS once a week. Blood was collected from the mouse orbitals every 10 days to measure changes in HBsAg expression in the mouse serum.
[0089] 3. Immunohistochemical detection of HBcAg and HBsAg in mouse liver
[0090] Mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Fresh livers from control and experimental groups were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. The fixed tissue samples were embedded in paraffin, and 3-4 μm sections were prepared. Paraffin sections were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated through a gradient of alcohol to remove the paraffin and restore the tissue to its native state. Sections were treated with antigen retrieval solution. Endogenous peroxidases were inactivated with 3% aqueous hydrogen peroxide, and nonspecific binding sites were blocked with blocking solution. Sections were incubated with primary antibodies (rabbit anti-HbsAg and mouse anti-HbcAg) for 60 minutes at room temperature. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) antibody and goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) antibody) were then added to bind to the primary antibodies. DAB was used as a chromogen to visualize the location of the target antigen under a light microscope.
[0091] See the results Figure 6 and Figure 7 .
[0092] in, Figure 6 The graph shows the changes in HBsAg expression in mouse serum after a period of treatment with lulutong acid. It can be seen that compared with the control group, the HBsAg expression in the serum of hepatitis B mice in the experimental group has a significant decreasing trend.
[0093] Figure 7 The results show the detection of HBcAg and HBsAg in the liver of mice after administration of lulutong acid. It can be seen that compared with the control group, the color expression of cell membrane and cell nucleus in the liver cells of the experimental group of mice was weaker, which shows that the hepatitis B condition of the experimental group of mice treated with lulutong acid was controlled, indicating that lulutong acid has obvious anti-hepatitis B virus effect.
