Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and particularly relates to a class of tetrahydroberberine derivatives and their applications. Background Art
[0002] Ferroptosis is a regulated form of cell death characterized by the accumulation of intracellular lipid peroxides to lethal levels, and this process depends on the participation of iron. Different from other types of cell death (such as apoptosis or necrosis), ferroptosis is mainly triggered by the imbalance of intracellular redox homeostasis, especially the peroxidation reaction of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in cell membranes. Iron acts as a catalyst, exacerbating the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus further promoting the process of lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis has received extensive attention due to its involvement in various diseases, especially in neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and ischemic organ injuries, especially in pathological conditions such as acute kidney injury (AKI). Given that ferroptosis has a unique molecular mechanism, it has become a potential therapeutic target for regulating cell death, especially in diseases where the traditional apoptosis mechanism is insufficient to play a role. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop inhibitors related to ferroptosis. Summary of the Invention

[0144] Example 5 Pharmacology Part
[0145] 1. PI Detection
[0146] PI (Propidium Iodide) is a nuclear dye that can penetrate the cell membrane that has lost integrity and bind to nucleic acids to emit red fluorescence. PI cannot enter living cells because their cell membranes are intact. In dead cells, the integrity of the cell membrane and nuclear membrane is reduced, allowing PI to enter the cells and stain. Therefore, PI can be used as an indicator to distinguish between living and dead cells. HK-2 cells (cell source: purchased from the Chinese Cell Bank) in the logarithmic growth phase were seeded in 6-well plates at 300,000 cells per well. The next day, when the cell density reached about 60%, the drug was administered. After 24 h of drug administration, the supernatant was collected, and then the cells were washed twice with cold PBS, digested with 1 ml of trypsin, collected, and centrifuged. Subsequently, 300 μL of 1×Binding Buffer was added to each sample, and then 2.5 μL of PI dye was added. After mixing and resuspending the cells, they were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 10 min, and then filtered and analyzed by flow cytometry.

[0150] 2. Cell Viability Assay
[0151] HK-2 cells (cell source: purchased from the Chinese Cell Bank) were seeded into 96-well plates and treated with the drug and Erastin for 24 h. After treatment, the medium was replaced with fresh medium (DMEM / F12 medium with 10% FBS (KeyGen Biotech, Nanjing, China)), and 10 μl of CCK-8 was added to each well. The 96-well plates were incubated at 37 °C for 1 h, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader. The absorbance is proportional to the cell survival rate.

[0153]
[0154] a The EC50 values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation of repeated measurements. b Emax is the highest value of cell viability calculated from the EC50 curve (the maximum concentration is 500 nM).
[0155] 2. Detection of Lipid Peroxidation
[0156] BODIPY 581 / 591C11 is a fluorescence ratio probe for lipid oxidation, which can be used to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells and cell membranes, and is usually used to indicate the level of lipid peroxidation in living cells. HK-2 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were seeded in 6-well plates at 300,000 cells per well. The next day, when the cell density reached about 60%, the drugs were administered. After 24 h of drug administration, the supernatant was collected, and the cells were washed twice with cold PBS, digested with 1 ml of trypsin, collected and centrifuged. A certain amount of 10 mM C11 BODIPY 581 / 591 stock solution was added to make the final concentration reach 10 μM. Incubate at 37 °C for 30 min. The fluorescence reading ratio measured at the emission wavelengths of 590 nm / 510 nm reflects the level of cell lipid peroxidation.
[0157] The results are as Figure 1 shown. It can be seen from the figure that Compounds 20, 21, 30, and 31 can effectively reduce the ROS values in Erastin-treated HK-2 cells at concentrations of 5 nM, 10 nM, and 20 nM.
[0158] 3. Detection of MDA
[0159] Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a natural product of lipid oxidation in organisms. When oxidative stress occurs in animal or plant cells, lipid oxidation occurs. Some fatty acids are gradually decomposed into a series of complex compounds after oxidation, including MDA. The reaction of MDA with thiobarbituric acid (TBA) can produce a color reaction of a red product, and then colorimetry is used for quantitative detection of MDA in cell lysates. HK-2 cells after drug treatment for a specific time were collected with a cell scraper, rinsed once with PBS, and the liquid was collected and centrifuged at 2500 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was discarded.
[0160] Total protein extraction: Resuspend the collected cells with pre-cooled PBS, transfer them into a 1.5 ml tube, centrifuge at 2500 rpm for 5 min, discard the supernatant, centrifuge at 15000 rpm for 30 s, and aspirate the residual liquid with a pipette. Add 10 μL of protease inhibitor (purchased from TargetMol) and 10 μL of phosphatase inhibitor to 980 μL of RIPA buffer, add an appropriate amount of RIPA lysis buffer according to the cell pellet and mix well, place on ice for lysis, vortex vigorously every 10 minutes. After 30 min, centrifuge at 4 °C and 15000 rpm for 20 min, collect the supernatant, and take 1 μL of the sample to detect the protein concentration by the BCA method. Add 0.1 ml of lysis buffer into a centrifuge tube or other appropriate container as a blank control, add 0.1 ml of the above different concentration standards to make a standard curve, and add 0.1 ml of the sample for determination; then add 0.2 ml of MDA detection working solution. After mixing, heat at 100 °C or in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
[0161] Cool to room temperature in a water bath and centrifuge at 1000 g for 10 minutes at room temperature. Take 200 μL of the supernatant and add it to a 96-well plate, and then measure the absorbance at 532 nm with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. Calculation of MDA content: For cell samples, after calculating the MDA content in the sample solution, the MDA content in the original sample can be expressed by the protein content or tissue weight per unit weight, etc.
[0162] The results are as Figure 2 shown. It can be seen from the figure that compounds 20, 21, 30, and 31 can effectively reduce the MDA value in HK-2 cells after Erastin treatment at concentrations of 5 nM, 10 nM, and 20 nM.
[0163] 4. Renal injury model
[0164] Animal model: Intraperitoneally inject a folic acid solution at 200 mg / kg, then administer the drug by gavage. After 72 h, sacrifice the mice, collect the serum and kidneys. Fix one kidney in PUFA for 24 hours, embed it in paraffin and section it, and perform HE staining and PAS staining. Freeze and thaw the other kidney repeatedly in liquid nitrogen, then perform tissue homogenization, extract RNA, and perform QPCR (Real-time Quantitative PCR Detecting System).
[0165] The results are as Figure 3 shown. It can be seen from the figure that compounds 20, 21, 30, and 31 can effectively treat acute kidney injury induced by folic acid.
[0166] The results are as Figure 4As shown, it can be seen from the figure that compounds 20, 21, 30, and 31 can effectively reduce the mRNA expression of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in mice with acute kidney injury.
[0167] The results are as Figure 5 shown. It can be seen from the figure that compounds 20, 21, 30, and 31 can effectively reduce the mRNA expression of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in mice with acute kidney injury.
[0168] 5. Serum creatinine detection
[0169] Creatinine (CRE) is a product of muscle metabolism and is mainly excreted through glomerular filtration. Under normal circumstances, the content of creatinine in the body is basically stable. The creatinine concentration in the blood can be used as one of the indicators for detecting glomerular filtration function. Creatinine is specifically acted on by creatinine enzyme to generate creatine, and creatine is successively acted on by creatine kinase and sarcosine oxidase to generate hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide reacts with the chromogenic agent to present a purple color. This colored substance has a large absorption peak at 546 nm, and then the creatinine content is calculated.
[0170] Sample preparation: Tissue sample: Take about 0.1 g of tissue sample, grind it with 1 mL of extraction solution, transfer all the crude extract to an EP tube, centrifuge at 12000 rpm at room temperature for 10 min, and the supernatant is to be measured. Liquid sample: Clear liquid can be directly detected; if it is turbid, centrifuge and take the supernatant for detection. Then detect it on the machine.
[0171] The results are as Figure 6 shown. It can be seen from the figure that compounds 20, 21, 30, and 31 can effectively reduce the content of serum creatinine (SCR) in mice with acute kidney injury.
[0172] 6. Urea nitrogen detection
[0173] Urea is the end product of the decomposition of nitrogen-containing compounds in organisms and is decomposed and converted into ammonia under the catalysis of urease. Blood urea nitrogen is one of the main indicators of renal function. Urea nitrogen in the sample is co-boiled with diacetyl monoxime and thiosemicarbazide in a ferric chloride-phosphoric acid solution to form a red diazine compound. The depth of its color is proportional to the content of urea nitrogen. The diacetyl monoxime method is used to determine the urea nitrogen content.
[0174] Sample treatment:
[0175] 1. Tissue: Add distilled water according to the ratio of mass (g): volume of distilled water (mL) of 1:5 - 10 (it is recommended to weigh about 0.1 g and add 1 mL of distilled water), homogenize, centrifuge at 25 °C and 10000 g for 10 min, and take the supernatant for measurement.
[0176] 2. Cells: According to the ratio of the number of cells (104 cells): the volume of distilled water (mL) of 500 - 1000:1 (it is recommended to add 1 mL of distilled water to 5 million cells), break the cells by ultrasonic wave in an ice bath (power 300 w, ultrasonic wave for 3 seconds, interval for 7 seconds, total time 3 min); then centrifuge at 4°C and 10000 g for 10 min, take the supernatant and place it on ice for further measurement.
[0177] 3. Serum or other liquids: Detect directly.
[0178] The results are as Figure 7 shown. It can be seen from the figure that compounds 20, 21, 30, and 31 can effectively reduce the content of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in mice with acute kidney injury.
[0179] In summary, after the modification of THB, a series of related derivatives have been obtained, and the cell activities of most compounds have been significantly improved compared with THB. Among them, the EC50 values of compounds 20, 21, 30, and 31 have been improved by about 100 times compared with the activity of THB, showing a significant improvement. Moreover, compounds 20, 21, 30, and 31 also show therapeutic effects in the mouse model of acute kidney injury, and can effectively reduce the contents of KIM-1, NGAL, SCR, and BUN. In addition, the tissue analysis of mice with acute kidney injury also shows that compounds 20, 21, 30, and 31 have a protective effect on the kidneys.
