Abstract

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of medicine, in particular to the application of fingolimod in the preparation of a drug for treating hepatolenticular degeneration. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hepatolenticular degeneration (HLD), also known as Wilson disease (WD), is a copper metabolism disorder autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by Atp7b gene mutation. The pathogenic gene Atp7b is located on the long arm of chromosome 13, contains 20 introns and 21 exons, and encodes a P-type copper transport ATPase. Atp7b gene mutation can cause copper excretion disorder in liver cells, and excessive copper is deposited in liver, brain, kidney, cornea and other tissues and organs, and then cause complex phenotypes such as liver damage and neuropsychiatric abnormalities. Since HLD has insidious onset, patients at the initial diagnosis often have multiple clinical manifestations, among which the liver is one of the most commonly involved organs in HLD, and can show various forms such as asymptomatic, acute hepatitis, acute liver failure, chronic hepatitis, and cirrhosis.
[0003] Currently, the treatment of HLD mainly depends on low-copper diet, drug therapy and liver transplantation. It is currently believed that all newly diagnosed patients with hepatolenticular degeneration should start lifelong drug therapy. On the one hand, existing drug therapy is not effective for all patients, and is faced with problems such as low drug therapy compliance and adverse reactions. On the other hand, the development of liver transplantation is often limited by the shortage of donor organs, the high cost and the need for lifelong immunosuppressive therapy. Therefore, the development of new drugs for HLD helps to explore more effective treatment methods, improve the quality of life of patients, and delay the progression of the disease.
[0004] As early as 2007, Lang PA et al. found that ceramide mediated hepatocyte death caused by copper overload through in vivo and in vitro models, and clarified that ceramide has a core function in the process of metabolic diseases and acute poisoning caused by heavy metals. Another study on the detection of serum sphingolipid spectrum in HLD patients also found that the levels of various sphingolipid components in the serum of HLD patients changed significantly. These collectively suggest that sphingolipid metabolism disorder plays an important role in the occurrence and development of HLD.
[0005] FTY720 (2-amino-2-[2-(4-octylphenyl)]-1,3-propanediol hydro-chloride) with the trade name Fingolimod, chemical formula C19H33NO2.HCl, is a synthetic sphingosine analogue modified from a polystictin extracted from Cordyceps sinensis (Ascomycota Cordyceps), which has a wide range of biological activities. In 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved FTY720 as a first-line treatment for relapsing multiple sclerosis. In 2019, it was approved for listing in China. In addition to relapsing multiple sclerosis, based on the regulatory function of FTY720 on sphingolipid biosynthesis, FTY720 has been found to play a therapeutic role in experimental models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, spastic paraplegia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis caused by sphingolipid disorders.
[0006] Currently, the treatment methods for HLD include low-copper diet, drug therapy, and liver transplantation. Among them, drug therapy is divided into two categories: one is to increase the excretion of urinary copper (copper chelator), including D-penicillamine, sodium dimercapto-propane sulfonate, dimercaptosuccinic acid, and trientine; the other is to reduce copper absorption, including zinc agent and ammonium tetrathiomolybdate. The main purpose of low-copper diet and drug therapy is to reduce copper accumulation in the body and reverse copper overload in the body. Liver transplantation can completely correct the underlying genetic defect of hepatolenticular degeneration. However, the current diagnosis and treatment programs still have the following shortcomings.
[0007] (1) The existing drug treatment methods mainly aim to improve the copper overload state to prevent further damage to the liver, but there is a lack of specific drug treatment methods for liver damage caused by copper overload.
[0008] (2) Copper chelators stimulate the transfer of copper from accumulated liver to blood, and then excreted through urine. During treatment, as the level of non-copper albumin-bound copper in the blood increases, it may accumulate in the brain by crossing the blood-brain barrier, leading to worsening of neurological symptoms in patients.
[0009] (3) Liver transplantation surgery has high risk, and it is difficult to find donors, there is a risk of rejection of transplanted organs, and the cost is high. SUMMARY
[0010] The application provides application of fingolimod hydrochloride (FTY720) in preparation of a medicine for treating liver damage of hepatolenticular degeneration, and finds that FTY720 can improve the liver phenotype of a hepatolenticular degeneration mouse by blocking sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signal transduction through in-vivo experiment research, the use of FTY720 in improving the liver symptoms of an Atp7b gene knockout mouse can be used for treating liver-type hepatolenticular degeneration, and the treatment potential of FTY720 on hepatolenticular degeneration is proved, and a new selection is provided for the treatment of hepatolenticular degeneration.
