Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of natural medicine technology, and in particular relates to the application of compound ZML1 in the preparation of a drug for treating acute drug-induced liver injury. Background Technology
[0002] Diagnostic criteria for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) include: serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥ 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≥ 2 × ULN (especially when accompanied by elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase or after excluding primary skeletal pathological changes); ALT ≥ 3 × ULN and total bilirubin (TB) > 2 × ULN. In addition, improvement in liver function indicators after drug discontinuation; rapid induction of liver injury upon occasional re-administration; and liver function tests are important clues for diagnosing DILI.
[0003] The basic principles of DILI treatment include timely discontinuation of suspected hepatotoxic drugs and avoiding re-use of suspected or similar drugs as much as possible; a thorough weighing of the risks of disease progression due to drug discontinuation versus the risk of further liver damage due to continued use; selection of appropriate drug therapy based on the clinical type of DILI; and emergency liver transplantation may be considered for critically ill patients such as those with acute / subacute liver failure.
[0004] Currently, for severe cases, early acute liver failure, and intrinsic liver injury (DILI) caused by acetaminophen, N-acetylcysteine can be used for treatment; for acute hepatocellular injury-type or mixed DILI, magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate can be used; for patients with significant hypersensitivity or autoimmune signs, and whose biochemical indicators do not improve significantly or continue to worsen after discontinuation of hepatotoxic drugs, glucocorticoids can be used; for cholestatic DILI, ursodeoxycholic acid and S-adenosylmethionine can be used; for mild to moderate hepatocellular injury-type and mixed DILI, silymarin can be used for milder inflammation, while bicyclol and glycyrrhizic acid preparations can be used for more severe inflammation. However, current treatments with these drugs are mainly symptomatic, have a slow onset of action, are not very effective in treating lipid deposition in the liver, and are difficult to reverse liver tissue and cell damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a drug that can effectively improve lipid deposition in the liver and reverse liver tissue and cell damage. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address at least some of the technical problems in the prior art, the present invention provides the use of compound ZML1 in the preparation of a medicament for treating acute drug-induced liver injury. Specifically, the present invention includes the following.
[0006] A first aspect of the present invention provides the use of compound ZML1 in the preparation of a medicament for the prevention or treatment of acute drug-induced liver injury, wherein said compound ZML1 has the structure shown in Formula I:
[0007]
[0008] In some embodiments, the use of compound ZML1 according to the present invention in the preparation of a medicament for the prevention or treatment of acute drug-induced liver injury, wherein the acute drug-induced liver injury includes liver injury caused by prescription or over-the-counter chemical drugs, biological agents, natural medicines, health products and / or excipients.
[0009] In some embodiments, the use of compound ZML1 according to the present invention in the preparation of a medicament for the prevention or treatment of acute drug-induced liver injury, wherein the prevention or treatment comprises at least one of the following:

[0011] (2) Reduce or restore serum aspartate aminotransferase levels;
[0012] (3) Increase or restore the total amount of superoxide dismutase in liver tissue;
[0013] (4) Reduces liver tissue swelling and inflammation;
[0014] (5) Reduce liver parenchymal lesions;
[0015] (6) Reduces lipid deposition;
[0016] (7) Promotes liver damage repair;
[0017] (8) To restore or protect the morphology or function of hepatocytes;
[0018] (9) Restore or protect liver function.
[0019] In some embodiments, the use of compound ZML1 according to the present invention in the preparation of a medicament for the prevention or treatment of acute drug-induced liver injury is described, wherein the prevention or treatment is achieved by administering a therapeutically effective amount of compound ZML1 to a subject.
[0020] In some embodiments, the use of compound ZML1 according to the present invention in the preparation of a medicament for the prevention or treatment of acute drug-induced liver injury, wherein the effective amount is 1-1000 mg / kg.
[0021] In some embodiments, the use of compound ZML1 according to the present invention in the preparation of a medicament for the prevention or treatment of acute drug-induced liver injury, wherein the subject includes mammals.
[0022] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of acute drug-induced liver injury, comprising compound ZML1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[0023] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention includes, wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier comprises at least one of a diluent, filler, absorbent, wetting agent, binder, disintegrant, lubricant, sweetener, preservative, and antioxidant.
[0024] A third aspect of the invention provides the use of compound ZML1 in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of acute drug-induced liver injury in combination with other drugs.
[0025] In some embodiments, the use of compound ZML1 according to the present invention in the preparation of a medicament for the combined treatment of acute drug-induced liver injury with other drugs, wherein the other drugs include at least one of ursodeoxycholic acid, N-acetylcysteine, magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate, glucocorticoids, S-adenosylmethionine, silymarin, bicyclol, glycyrrhizic acid preparations, cholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, deoxycholic acid, lithocholic acid, tauroursodeoxycholic acid, porcine deoxycholic acid, taurocholic acid, glycocholic acid, and arbidol hydrochloride.
[0026] This invention, through in vivo and in vitro experiments, demonstrates that ZML1 can reverse acute liver injury within just a few hours, such as restoring normal hepatocyte morphology, reducing lipid deposition, and rapidly improving the damaged manifestations of various transaminases. In a mouse model of acute liver injury, the use of ZML1 resulted in liver indicators returning to near-normal levels compared to the injured group. Both in vitro and in vivo experimental results of ZML1 were compared with those of ursodeoxycholic acid, the current "gold standard" hepatoprotective drug. ZML1 showed superior therapeutic effects on various injury indicators compared to ursodeoxycholic acid, particularly demonstrating superior efficacy in improving hepatocyte lipid deposition. Therefore, ZML1 possesses excellent drug-like properties for treating acute drug-induced liver injury and protecting the liver, thus showing broad application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0061] Example 1
[0062] The following demonstrates the therapeutic effect of ZML1 on acute drug-induced liver injury at the cellular level.
[0063] 1. Experimental Methods
[0064] 1.1 Cell Culture and Treatment
[0065] Human normal hepatocytes (L02 cells) were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. When the cells reached 90% confluence, they were randomly divided into a control (WT) group, an ethanol-damaged (EtOH) group, and an ethanol-damaged group treated with ZML1 (ZML1) group. The control group was treated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS); the EtOH group was incubated with 1000 mM EtOH solution for 24 h; and the ZML1 group was incubated with 1000 mM EtOH solution for 6 h, followed by incubation with 100 nM ZML1 for another 24 h.
[0066] 1.2 Detection of AST, ALT, and SOD activities in cells
[0067] Each group of cells was washed with ice-cold PBS and resuspended. Cells were homogenized at 4000 rpm / min on ice until fully lysed. Cell lysis buffer was analyzed according to the kit instructions for alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total superoxide dismutase, with each sample tested in triplicate.
[0068] 2. Experimental Results
[0069] The results showed that ZML1 could increase or restore the levels of AST, ALT and SOD in hepatocytes caused by acute drug-induced liver injury.
[0070] Example 2
[0071] The following demonstrates the therapeutic effect of ZML1 on acute drug-induced liver injury in animals.
[0072] 1. Experimental Methods
[0073] 1.1 Animal grouping and treatment
[0074] Eight-week-old male C57BL / 6J mice were acclimatized for three days under conditions of 20-25°C, 50%-55% relative humidity, 12-hour light / 12-hour dark alternation, and free access to food and water. They were then randomly assigned to four groups: a control (WT) group, an ethanol-induced toxicity (EtOH) group, an ethanol-induced toxicity group treated with ZML1 (ZML1), and an ethanol-induced toxicity group treated with ursodeoxycholic acid (ursodeoxycholic acid), with three mice in each group. All animal experiments were conducted in accordance with the National Institutes of Health's Guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. This animal study was reviewed and approved by the Laboratory Animal Welfare and Ethics Committee of Peking University.
[0075] After the adaptation period, mice in the EtOH, ZML1, and ursodeoxycholic acid groups were administered ethanol solution by gavage at a dose of 6 g / kg body weight twice, with an interval of 12 hours. The WT group was administered an equal volume of physiological saline by gavage. Six hours after the last gavage, mice in the ZML1 and ursodeoxycholic acid groups were treated with intraperitoneal injection of the corresponding drug solution (composed of the drug and corn oil) at a dose of 100 mg / kg body weight. The WT and EtOH groups were treated with intraperitoneal injection of an equal volume of corn oil. All mice were kept in a suitable living environment with free access to food and water.
[0076] 1.2 Body weight determination
[0077] From the start of the mouse adaptation period to the end of treatment, the mice's condition was continuously observed. Six hours after the end of treatment, the mice's body weight was weighed and recorded.
[0078] 1.3 Serum Biochemical Analysis
[0079] Six hours after treatment, mice were anesthetized, and blood samples were obtained through the posterior orbital sinus (mouse eye socket). The collected blood was allowed to stand overnight at 4°C, then centrifuged at 3500 rpm / min to separate the serum, which was stored at -80°C for further analysis.
[0080] Serum AST and ALT were detected using corresponding detection kits and according to the manufacturer's instructions.
[0081] 1.4 Determination of Liver Organ Index
[0082] After blood was collected from the eyeballs, the mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation, dissected, and the livers were removed and weighed. The organ index was calculated using the following formula: Organ Index = Liver weight (g) / Mouse body weight (g).
[0083] 1.5 Liver Histological Analysis
[0084] Liver tissue from the same location in each mouse was embedded in paraffin and OCT, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Oil Red O, respectively. Details are as follows:
[0085] For H&E staining, fresh liver tissue was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, dehydrated, embedded in paraffin, and cut into 5 μm sections. The sections underwent a series of treatments, including ethanol fixation, hematoxylin staining, hydrochloric acid-ethanol destaining, eosin staining, alcohol gradient treatment, and xylene treatment, and were then sealed with neutral glue and observed under an optical microscope.
[0086] For Oil Red O staining, fresh liver tissue was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and frozen in OCT. Sections were then cut into 10 μm sections using a cryostat. After rinsing with distilled water and 60% isopropanol, the sections were treated with 60% Oil Red O staining solution, rinsed again with distilled water, restained with hematoxylin, and then the lipid accumulation in hepatocytes was observed under a light microscope. Oil Red O staining was analyzed using software.
[0087] 1.6 Data Statistics and Processing
[0088] This embodiment uses software to perform statistical analysis of experimental data, and the results are expressed as mean ± standard error (Mean ± SEM). Significance analysis among multiple groups of data was performed using ANOVA one-way ANOVA, with significance expressed as *p<0.05, **p<0.01, and ***p<0.001.
[0089] 2. Experimental Results
[0090] The results showed that both ZML1 and ursodeoxycholic acid could treat alcohol-induced acute drug-induced liver injury, restore the increased liver weight-to-body weight ratio, reduce liver swelling, and lower serum AST and ALT levels. Furthermore, both ZML1 and ursodeoxycholic acid could treat parenchymal liver lesions caused by alcohol-induced acute liver injury, improve tissue swelling and inflammation, and alleviate alcohol-induced hepatic lipid metabolism disorders. Moreover, the efficacy of ZML1 was significantly superior to that of ursodeoxycholic acid.
