[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, but these embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0021] Example 1: Preparation of compound Aglatestate F

[0022] A method for preparing a limonene compound includes the following steps:

[0023] (1) Take 50 parts of the branches and leaves of the horse kidney fruit, crush them, use 200 parts of 95% industrial methanol, extract them 4 times at room temperature, each time for 5 days, and recover the alcohol and concentrate to obtain 5 parts of extract.

[0024] (2) The crude extract was subjected to silica gel column chromatography with a gradient elution of petroleum ether to acetone in a volume ratio of 9:1 to 1:1. 100 fractions of each gradient were eluted. Silica gel thin-layer chromatography was used to detect the different eluted fractions. Fractions with the same thin-layer chromatographic results were combined to obtain seven fractions based on their thin-layer chromatographic performance: Fr.1, Fr.2, Fr.3, Fr.4, Fr.5, Fr.6, and Fr.7.

[0025] (3) Fr.6 was subjected to MCI column chromatography with a methanol to water volume ratio of 1:1 to 9:1 as an eluent gradient. The fractions were combined according to their thin-layer chromatographic properties and were divided into four subfractions: Fr.6a, Fr.6b, Fr.6c, and Fr.6d. Fr.6b was subjected to reverse column chromatography with a methanol to water volume ratio of 1:1 to 9:1 as an eluent gradient and was divided into nine subfractions: Fr.6b.1, Fr.6b.2, Fr.6b.3, Fr.6b.4, Fr.6b.5, Fr.6b.6, Fr.6b.7, Fr.6b.8, and Fr.6b.9.

[0032] Example 3: Anti-dengue virus infection activity verification

[0033] In order to further verify the beneficial effects of the compounds described in the present application, the dengue virus inhibitory activity of the compound Aglatestate F on Syrian hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells was studied, and the specific experiment was as follows:

[0034] (1) MTT method was used to detect the cytotoxicity of the drug: the Syrian hamster kidney cell (BHK-21) line was inoculated into 96-well microplates (5 x 10 3 ​cells), 37℃, 5% CO2 for 24 hours. After the cells grow into a monolayer, the culture supernatant is discarded, and DMEM medium containing a gradient dilution of the test compound is added, with three replicate wells for each concentration, and normal cell controls, solvent controls, and blank controls are set up. After 2 days of culture, 10 μL of 5 mg / mL MTT is added to each well, and incubation is continued in a 37℃ constant-temperature incubator for 4 hours. 100 μL of supernatant is discarded, 160 μL of DMSO solution is added, and shaking is continued at 37℃ for 15 minutes. After the crystals are completely dissolved, the OD value is detected by a Bio-TEK enzyme label meter (detection wavelength 490 nm). A dose-response curve is plotted according to the experimental results, and the 50% inhibition of cell growth concentration (CC 50 ) value is calculated using the Reed & Muench method.

[0035] (2) Virus plaque assay to detect the effect of the compound on the virus plaque: BHK-21 cells are plated at 2×10 5 cells / well in a 12-well plate and incubated overnight at 37℃ in a 5% CO2 incubator. The virus-free control group is added with DMEM medium, the drug group and the virus group are added with DENV-2 (MOI=0.01), and after 2 hours of adsorption at 37℃, the supernatant is removed and washed twice with PBS. The drug group is added with 1 mL of maintenance medium containing aglaiastatin (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 μM), and the virus group is added with 1 mL of maintenance medium containing DMSO. After 48 hours of culture, the supernatant is removed and stored at -80℃. BHK-21 cells are plated at 2×10 5 cells / well in a 12-well plate and incubated overnight at 37℃ in a 5% CO2 incubator. The supernatant is discarded, and the cells are washed with PBS. 300 μL of the supernatant sample is added to each well. After 2 hours of adsorption at 37℃ in an incubator, the supernatant is removed and washed with PBS. 1 mL of mixed medium of 4% FBS DMEM medium and 2% low-melting-point agarose is added to each well. After solidification, the plate is placed in a 37℃ incubator and incubated for 6-7 days. 4% paraformaldehyde is used for fixation for 30 minutes, and the agarose cover is discarded by inversion. 1% crystal violet staining solution is used for staining for 20 minutes, and the plate is washed with flowing water. The plate is air-dried at room temperature. The number of plaques is counted by enzyme-linked plaque assay (CTL), and a dose-response curve is plotted according to the experimental results. The EC 50 of the test sample is calculated.

[0036] (3) Anti-DENV efficacy evaluation: The therapeutic index (TI) is the ratio of the 50% inhibition concentration of the drug on cells (CC 50 ) to the 50% effective concentration of the drug on viruses (EC 50 ), which represents the safety of the drug. The larger the value, the safer the drug.

[0037] (4) The experimental results show that the compound has good inhibitory effect on dengue virus BHK-21 cell infection at non-toxic concentration, and the anti-dengue virus effect EC 50 = 1.290 ± 0.170 and the selectivity index is higher than that of the positive drug ribavirin (antiviral drug), so the compound Aglatestate F has good prospects for developing anti-dengue virus drugs.
