Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and relates to natural product derivatization and new applications, in particular to a derivative of the A-ring and E-ring of pseudotaraxasterol and its application. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of living standards and the aggravation of social aging, the prevalence of diabetes has risen rapidly globally. Existing drugs still have certain limitations. For example, some patients do not respond well to existing drugs or cannot effectively control blood sugar; some drugs may cause side effects such as hypoglycemia and weight gain, affecting patient compliance. With the development of precision medicine, the demand for drugs for specific patient groups has increased. Therefore, the research and development of new anti-diabetic drugs has important market demand.
[0003] α-Glucosidase is one of the starch hydrolase enzymes, and it is also known as α-glucosidase hydrolase or glucosyltransferase (GTase). It hydrolyzes the α-glucosidic bond of the substrate from the non-reducing end of the polysaccharide to produce α-D-glucose, thereby increasing blood sugar in the human body. α-Glucosidase inhibitors delay the absorption of carbohydrates by inhibiting α-glucosidase on the brush border of the small intestinal mucosa, reducing postprandial hyperglycemia. The main characteristics are stable blood sugar lowering, high safety, and the ability to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular complications. It is one of the few oral hypoglycemic drugs that can intervene in impaired glucose tolerance. Common α-glucosidase inhibitors have various side effects, and it is of great significance to discover new α-glucosidases.
[0004] Pseudotaraxasterol, also known as psi-taraxasterolh or pseudotaraxasterol, is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid compound of the ursane type, which is widely present in Compositae plants, such as Taraxacum, Aster, etc. In recent years, it has received extensive attention due to its various biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis, anti-tumor, AChE inhibitory, anti-parasitic and other activities. Due to the low natural content and difficult purification of this compound, there are few reports on its structural derivatization and activity research.
[0005] Through retrieval, the following publicly available documents related to the present invention's patent application were found:
[0006] 1. Patent: Yang Hao, Li Xiang, etc. A derivative of pseudotaraxasterol, its preparation method and application, application number 2023111552565.5. This patent is the previous research of this research group, which discloses a series of derivatives of pseudotaraxasterol esterified at the 3-position hydroxyl group and their applications. However, the present invention synthesizes novel A-ring oxime derivatives and novel E-ring derivatives for the first time, and the structures are completely new.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2023, 301: 115778. This article reported the isolation of compounds such as pseudotaraxasterol from the plant Cirsum ehrenbergii, but their structures are different from those of the present invention, and it did not mention that pseudotaraxasterol and its derivatives have hypoglycemic and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities.

[0042] 3. The process for preparing the pseudo-taraxasterol derivatives obtained in the present invention is simple and has a high yield. The preparation of its derivatives does not require conditions such as anhydrous and anaerobic, and the reaction yield is high and the time used is short.
[0043] 4. Pseudo-taraxasterol is a natural product widely distributed in various plant-based foods or traditional Chinese medicines such as dandelions.

[0142] α-Glucosidase Inhibition Experiment of Compounds 1 - 16 in Example 14
[0143] Weigh potassium dihydrogen phosphate and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, and prepare a 50 mM buffer solution (pH = 6.8) with water.

Dissolve the test compound and positive control with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to the required concentration.
[0144] Divide the test system into a blank group, a control group, a compound blank group, and a compound test group. The specific grouping is as follows:
[0145] Table 1 α-Glucosidase reaction system
[0146]
[0147] In the above experimental steps, add the above reagents to a 96-well microplate in sequence, incubate at 37 °C for 5 minutes, add the substrate after incubation is completed, and continue to incubate for 30 minutes. Measure the absorbance value (OD) at 405 nm with an enzyme-labeling instrument. The inhibition calculation is as follows, as shown in Formula 1:
[0148]
[0149] In the above formula, OD4 is the absorbance value of the compound test group, OD3 is the absorbance value of the compound blank group, OD2 is the absorbance value of the control group, and OD1 is the absorbance value of the blank group. Each experiment is carried out in parallel 3 times under the same conditions, and each parallel experiment has 2 parallel replicates. The result obtained is the average value of the total number of times, and the error value SD between each data is obtained.
[0150] The inhibition results of the compound on α-glucosidase activity are shown in Table 2.
[0151] Table 2 Inhibition activity of the compound on α-glucosidase activity
[0152]
[0153] Note: a All results of α-glucosidase are the average value of three experiments ± SD; b Acarbose is used as the positive control.
[0154] Table 2 results show that natural pseudotaraxasterol 1 has good α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, but poor solubility. Therefore, in the present invention, its derivatives were prepared by derivatization. Oxidation was carried out at the 3-position of ring A (compound 2) or an oxime was prepared (compound 3). Further, the oxime was prepared into an oxime ether (compounds 4-5) or an oxime ester (compounds 6-8, 16). Among them, the oxime ester derivatives all have good activity, and the succinate ester has the highest activity (IC 50 = 5.21 μM), indicating that the introduction of an oxime ester on ring A can improve the activity. After oxidizing the 20,21-double bond, the activity decreased significantly (IC 50 > 50 μM for compound 10). After further converting the 20,21-epoxy group into a 21-ketone (compound 11), the activity increased (IC 50 = 14.75 μM). After further derivatizing the carbonyl group into an oxime (compound 12), the activity increased (IC 50 = 11.71 μM), slightly higher than that of pseudotaraxasterol. After further derivatizing the oxime into an oxime carboxylate, there were significant differences in activity. It is speculated that the derivatization at the 21-position into an oxime becomes an important site for binding to the enzyme, and the hydrogen bond donor (functional group with hydrogen) is an essential group for activity. Therefore, the oxime (compound 12) and the oxime succinate ester (compound 14) are beneficial to improving the activity, while the activity of compound 13 decreased. However, the oxime ether is helpful to improve the activity, such as compound 15 (IC 50 = 5.09 μM), which is 45 times more active than the positive control acarbose (IC 50 = 230.60 μM). Two representative compounds 15 and 16 were selected, and their IC 50 curves are shown in Figure 14 、 15 . Therefore, the synthesized pseudotaraxasterol ring A and ring E oxime derivatives of the present invention can be used as lead compounds for new hypoglycemic drugs and can also be used as α-glucosidase inhibitors, with the potential to be developed into new drugs.
[0155] In summary, the present invention for the first time found that the pseudotaraxasterol ring A and ring E derivatives have good α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. All derivatives are new compounds, and their activities were discovered for the first time. In addition, pseudotaraxasterol is a natural product, widely distributed in plant-based foods or traditional Chinese medicines, and has high safety. Therefore, the discovery of the new activities of pseudotaraxasterol and its derivatives has good practical application value.
