Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant drug development technology, and specifically relates to a resveratrol imine derivative, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Resveratrol, chemically named 3,4',5-trihydroxy-1,2-diphenylethylene, has the molecular formula C2. 14 H 12 O3, with a molecular weight of 228.23 and CAS number 501-36-0, has the structure shown in Formula 1. Resveratrol was first discovered and extracted by Japanese scientists in 1939 from the roots of the poisonous plant *Resveratrol alatus*. Resveratrol is widely found in various plants, such as grapes, *Polygonum cuspidatum*, peanuts, and mulberries, and is a natural antitoxin secreted by plants in response to adverse conditions or pathogen invasion. Resveratrol exists in plants in both free and glycoside-bound forms, with the trans isomer exhibiting stronger biological activity.

[0003]

[0004] Resveratrol, a non-flavonoid polyphenol containing a stilbene structure, possesses various biological activities, including anti-aging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and cardiovascular protection, and its development and utilization are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Studies have shown that 600 mg / kg resveratrol can maintain gut health in laying hens under tBHP-induced oxidative stress by downregulating the mRNA expression levels of NF-κB and TNF-α, thereby mitigating the decline in laying performance and ovarian function caused by oxidative stress. Meng et al., through transcriptome and 16S rRNA sequencing analysis, found that adding resveratrol to the diet of sows may alleviate weaning-induced diarrhea and intestinal inflammation in weaned piglets by improving intestinal gene expression and regulating gut microbiota. These studies indicate that high-dose resveratrol can exert its anti-stress enteritis effect in livestock and poultry by regulating oxidative stress, inflammation-related signaling pathways, and gut microbiota.

[0005] However, resveratrol has an unstable structure, is easily oxidized, and its double bonds are highly photosensitized, readily transforming into a less active cis structure under ultraviolet light irradiation. It also has low polarity, poor water solubility, and low oral bioavailability (approximately 12%), requiring relatively large doses to achieve effective concentrations in plasma or tissues. Therefore, rapid absorption, low bioavailability, and poor water solubility are key factors limiting the clinical use of resveratrol. Given that resveratrol possesses certain anti-stress enteritis activity in livestock and poultry, the high in vivo dosage is only due to its low bioavailability and poor water solubility. If its structure can be modified by introducing characteristic groups into its core, it is hoped that resveratrol derivatives with better biological activity and higher bioavailability can be obtained.

[0006] Molecular hybridization refers to the chemical synthesis of two active molecular fragments to form a new active compound. Molecular hybridization can enhance the pharmacological activity of active molecules, improve drug stability, and reduce toxic side effects; it also provides more possibilities for drug design. Summary of the Invention

[0052] 190 μL of a pre-prepared 100 μmol / L DPPH solution was added to each well of a 96-well plate, followed by 10 μL of compounds 1-4 (resveratrol imine derivatives prepared in Examples 2-3) at a final concentration of 5–50 μmol / L. A control group was also included, maintaining a total volume of 200 μL. The reaction was allowed to proceed in the dark at room temperature for 30 min, and the absorbance was measured at 517 nm. The DPPH radical scavenging rate was calculated as follows: DPPH scavenging rate = [1 - (Am - An) / As] × 100%. Am represents the OD value of the sample group, An represents the OD value of the methanol solution, and As represents the OD value of the negative control group. A curve was plotted with the concentration of the resveratrol imine derivative as the x-axis and the scavenging rate corresponding to each resveratrol imine derivative concentration as the y-axis.
