Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to the medical use of the compound Pladienolide B as a ricin toxin protectant. Background Art

[0002] Ricin is a plant glycoprotein extracted from castor beans and is a deadly and highly toxic biological toxin. Ricin consists of two polypeptide chains, A and B, which are connected by a disulfide bond. The toxin B chain contains two galactose or galactose residue binding sites, which can bind to the galactose residue-containing receptors on the cell surface and enter the cytoplasm through endocytosis to exert its toxic effect. Although the current research on the ricin vaccines Rivax® and RVEcTM is progressing well and monoclonal antibodies show obvious effects in neutralizing ricin, so far, no vaccine or monoclonal antibody has been clinically approved and used. Currently, the clinical treatment for ricin poisoning can only rely on symptomatic treatment, and in severe cases, plasma exchange is even required to remove ricin from the body. In addition, the production process of vaccines and antibody drugs is relatively cumbersome, the cost is high, and there are certain requirements for storage methods, which also limits the popularization and application of macromolecular ricin drugs to a certain extent.

[0003] Small molecule inhibitor drugs have good cell membrane permeability and can exert their pharmacological effects both inside and outside cells. In the treatment of ricin poisoning, small molecule ricin inhibitors have relatively broad application prospects. However, although the structure of ricin has been relatively clearly analyzed and there are many clear studies on its druggable targets, the small molecule inhibitors developed for the functional domains of ricin have not yet achieved anti-toxic activities comparable to those of monoclonal neutralizing antibodies. In addition, the poor solubility and large side effects of some small molecule compounds also limit their further research as therapeutic drugs. Although the currently developed small molecule inhibitors have limited pharmacological effects, small molecule drugs are easier to develop as drugs compared to macromolecular vaccines and antibodies. In addition, with the progress and maturity of technologies such as artificial intelligence-assisted drug design and pharmacological effect evaluation, technology empowerment has greatly improved the research and development efficiency of small molecule drugs, and developing more efficient small molecule ricin inhibitors has once again become a hot research direction for combating ricin.

[0004] Currently, although there are some research directions for ricin poisoning, there is still a lack of effective treatment drugs. The existing treatment methods mainly focus on symptomatic supportive treatment, such as maintaining water and electrolyte balance and anti-shock treatment. However, these methods have limited effects on reducing the core toxicity of ricin. Therefore, developing a drug that can effectively combat the toxicity of ricin has important practical significance and clinical needs. Summary of the Invention

[0047] In some embodiments, the diseases or symptoms associated with ricin toxin poisoning include the following aspects: (1) Digestive system: Ricin toxin stimulates the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing severe nausea and vomiting. Excessive vomiting can lead to dehydration and electrolyte disorders. At the same time, patients will experience severe abdominal pain and diarrhea symptoms. In severe cases, it can cause damage and bleeding of the intestinal mucosa, leading to diseases such as enteritis. (2) Cardiovascular system: The toxin damages vascular endothelial cells, increasing vascular permeability. The fluid components in the blood leak into the tissue space, causing edema. For example, pulmonary edema can lead to dyspnea; vascular damage may also cause hypotension, which can develop into shock in severe cases, endangering life. In addition, heart function may also be affected, resulting in diseases such as arrhythmia and heart failure. (3) Nervous system: Poisoned patients will experience headache and dizziness symptoms. In severe cases, it can lead to convulsions, abnormal discharge of brain neurons, and then coma. (4) Urinary system: The kidneys, as important excretory organs, are also attacked by ricin toxin. The toxin damages the filtration and excretory functions of the kidneys, resulting in renal insufficiency, hematuria, proteinuria, and the body's metabolic wastes cannot be excreted normally. (5) Respiratory system: If it is inhalation ricin toxin poisoning, it will directly stimulate the respiratory tract, causing cough and chest pain. Airway inflammation and edema will lead to dyspnea, which can develop into respiratory failure in severe cases, making the body unable to obtain sufficient oxygen supply.

[0048] In the present invention, the effective amount refers to an amount having a prophylactic or therapeutic effect or an amount required to produce a prophylactic or therapeutic effect in a subject. For example, a pharmaceutically prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount refers to the amount of a drug required to produce the desired prophylactic or therapeutic effect, and the prophylactic or therapeutic effect can be reflected by the results of clinical trials, model animal studies, and / or in vitro studies. The pharmaceutically effective amount depends on several factors, including but not limited to: characteristic factors of the treatment subject (such as height, weight, gender, age, and medication history), type of the disease suffered, and severity of the disease suffered.

[0049] In the present invention, the treatment and / or prevention refers to the medical management of a patient for the purpose of preventing, curing, ameliorating or stabilizing a disease, pathological condition or disorder. This term includes active therapies, i.e., therapies specifically aimed at ameliorating a disease, pathological condition or disorder, and also includes etiological therapies, i.e., therapies aimed at removing the cause of the relevant disease, pathological condition or disorder. In addition, the treatment and / or prevention also includes palliative therapies, i.e., therapies designed to relieve symptoms rather than cure a disease, pathological condition or disorder; this term also includes prophylactic therapies, i.e., therapies aimed at minimizing or partially or completely suppressing the development of the relevant disease, pathological condition or disorder; and supportive therapies, i.e., therapies used to supplement another specific therapy aimed at ameliorating the relevant disease, pathological condition or disorder.

[0050] In the present invention, the subjects include, but are not limited to: humans (i.e., males or females of any age group, such as: pediatric subjects (e.g., infants, children, adolescents) or adult subjects (e.g., young adults, middle-aged adults or elderly adults)) and / or non-human animals, such as: mammals, such as: primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys, rhesus monkeys), cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, rodents, cats and / or dogs.

It should be noted that the experimental conditions and results described in the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and should not and will not limit the present invention described in detail in the claims.

[0056] Example 1 Pladienolide B induces cells to be dose-dependent against ricin

[0057] 1. Experimental method

[0058] CCK-8 method was used to detect cell viability: Hela cells were pretreated with different doses of Pladienolide B for 24 h. Passage to 96-well plates. After the cells adhered, ricin with concentrations of 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.12, 1.56, 0.78, 0.39, 0.195, 0.048, 0.024, 0.012, 0.006, 0.003, 0.0015, 0 ng·mL -1DMEM medium without serum, with 3 replicate wells set for each concentration (n = 3). After treating with ricin for 48 h, 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent was added to each well, and the reaction was carried out at 37 °C for 2 h. The absorbance was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader at a wavelength of 450 nm. According to the formula: cell survival rate = [1 - (experimental well - control well) / (control well - blank well)] × 100%, the cell survival rate of each concentration experimental well was calculated, and the survival curve was fitted and plotted.

[0059] 2. Experimental results

[0060] In this example, the anti-toxic efficacy of Pladienolide B was evaluated. Specifically, cells were pretreated with different doses of Pladienolide B for 24 h, and then treated with different concentrations of ricin for 48 h, and the cell viability levels of each group were detected. As can be seen from Figure 1 the results shown, pretreatment with 1 nM Pladienolide B could make cells have a relatively obvious ricin tolerance effect. With the increase in the treatment concentration of Pladienolide B, the ability of cells to resist ricin, especially to tolerate high concentrations of ricin, gradually increased, suggesting that the effect of Pladienolide B in inducing cells to resist ricin was dose-dependent. Among them, when cells were pretreated with 100 nM Pladienolide B, they showed a completely tolerant phenotype to 100 ng / mL ricin, while the cell survival rate of the control group was only 7%. The above results indicate that Pladienolide B can effectively induce cells to resist ricin and has a dose-dependent relationship.

[0061] Example 2 Pladienolide B induces time-dependent resistance of cells to ricin

[0062] 1. Experimental method

[0063] In this example, it was further explored whether different pretreatment times of Pladienolide B affected the anti-toxic phenotype of cells induced by it. The pretreatment time of 100 nM Pladienolide B on cells was set to 0, 6, 12, 24 h, and the specific method for detecting cell viability was as described in the experimental method of Example 1 above.

[0064] 2. Experimental results

[0065] Figure 2 A shows the sensitivity of normal cells to different concentrations of ricin (cells not treated with Pladienolide B); when the pretreatment time of Pladienolide B was 6 h, the cell survival curve began to show a certain rightward shift trend, and its IC 50Increased from 0.19 ng / mL to 0.40 ng / mL, showing an approximately 2-fold increase ( Figure 2 B); when the pretreatment time of Pladienolide B was extended to 12 h, the sensitivity of cells to ricin was significantly reduced, and approximately 50% of the cells still survived under the treatment condition of high-concentration (100 ng / mL) ricin ( Figure 2 C); consistent with the previous results, when the pretreatment time of Pladienolide B was as long as 24 h, ricin had almost no killing effect on the cells ( Figure 2 D). The above results suggest that the anti-toxic effect of Pladienolide B induced in cells has a certain time-dependence.

[0066] The experimental results of the above examples show that Pladienolide B has an effect of effectively inhibiting the toxicity of ricin, can effectively induce cells to resist the toxic effect of ricin, and has a certain dose-dependence and time-dependence.
