Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to a hydrogen sulfide prodrug of a coumarin compound and its application. Background Art

[0002] Coumarin compounds have unique properties and reactivity, and have been utilized in numerous fields. The properties and applications of related compounds have been widely explored in the academic community. This class of compounds is a type of substance with significant biological activity, characterized by a small molecular weight, simple synthesis, high bioavailability, wide pharmacological effects, and low toxicity. They have been widely used in research on anti-tumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, etc. Currently, many coumarin compounds in clinical practice have certain toxic and side effects. For example, the coumarin anticoagulant warfarin is prone to cause serious bleeding tendencies when taken in excess, and thrombosis leading to stroke when taken in small amounts; the cholagogue hydroxymethylcoumarin tablets can cause massive bleeding and cholestatic liver injury when taken in excess; long-term use of the Chinese herbal medicine Psoralea corylifolia can damage the liver and kidney functions. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless, flammable, highly toxic acidic gas under standard conditions, with a rotten egg smell at low concentrations. Research shows that H2S, similar to CO and NO, is an important gas signaling molecule in the body. Based on the physiological functions of hydrogen sulfide in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor, and regulating ion channels, introducing hydrogen sulfide is an effective method to achieve reducing toxic and side effects while exerting the physiological functions of hydrogen sulfide itself. However, since hydrogen sulfide gas cannot be directly used for in vivo treatment, how to rationally design H2S prodrugs and enable them to release H2S under appropriate conditions is the key to current research.

[0003] Currently, a variety of hydrogen sulfide prodrugs have been reported, such as the hydrolysis-triggered hydrogen sulfide prodrug demethylthiotriacetate; the thiol-activated hydrogen sulfide prodrug tert-butyl persulfide; the photo-activated hydrogen sulfide prodrug SPD-1; the esterase-triggered hydrogen sulfide prodrug NSAIDs, etc. In addition, hydrogen sulfide detection methods mainly include methylene blue (MB) colorimetry, ion electrode or polarographic electrode methods, gas chromatography (GC-FPD), monobromodiphenyl ether detection methods, and various fluorescence probe methods, etc. The above methods are all independent of release and monitoring, and do not have the ability to monitor H2S in real time in the physiological environment, and there are certain limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0153] Determination of the enzymatic hydrolysis half-life of the compound in Example 21

[0154] 1. Detection of PLE hydrolysis of ZYSO series thioesters and formation of corresponding esters by high performance liquid chromatography

[0155] The ZYSO series solution (100 μL, 500 μM), PBS buffer (4900 μL, pH = 7.4) and PLE (1 mg) were added to a 5 mL sample vial. After sealing with a sealing film, the vial was incubated in a 37 °C water bath. At regular intervals, 200 μL of the solution was taken and transferred to a 2 mL centrifuge tube containing 200 μL of chromatographic methanol. After centrifugation at 13000 rpm for 5 min, the solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane and analyzed by HPLC mobile phase elution (chromatographic column: Agilent, 4.6 mm × 150 mm; mobile phase: ACN acetonitrile (A) and 0.01% HCOOH formic acid / water H2O (B); flow rate: 1.0 mL / min; injection volume: 5 μL. Linear gradient elution: 0 - 15 min, 10% - 90% A.) to analyze the components in the above solution. The original drug released at each time point was calculated according to the standard curve, and the release half-life was calculated therefrom.

[0157] Add blank rat plasma (100 μL), Tris-HCl buffer solution (350 μL, 50 mmol / L, pH = 7.4), and 20 μL of the ZYSO series stock solution (300 μg / mL, methanol) to a 5-mL sample vial to start the reaction. Incubate the mixture at 37 °C, terminate the reaction using saturated EDTA-2Na solution (80 μL), and pipette 150 μL of the solution into a 96-well plate. Measure the fluorescence intensity at a specific wavelength, calculate the amount of the original drug released at each time point according to the standard curve, and thereby calculate its release half-life.

[0158] The results are shown in Table 1, indicating that the formation of the relevant original drugs can be detected for all the above-mentioned compounds, and fluorescence can be basically released at a certain rate to generate hydrogen sulfide under the conditions of esterase and plasma.

It was found during the detection process that all of them had the behavior of releasing H2S, but the release rate was extremely slow (only 120 h was detected in this experiment), and there is a certain development prospect for slow monitoring.

[0163] Example 22 Pharmacodynamic study in an ischemia-reperfusion injury model

[0164] 1. Establishment of an animal ischemia-reperfusion injury model:

[0165] Male C57BL / 6JNifdc mice weighing 25 - 30 g were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham operation group, model group, and different drug administration groups, with 8 mice in each group. The sham operation group was not inserted with a suture, and the middle cerebral artery occlusion model was applied to the remaining groups. Anesthesia was induced with 3% isoflurane and maintained with 0.6% isoflurane after anesthesia. After disinfection, a median incision was made in the neck. Blunt dissection was performed to expose the left common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid artery (ICA), and external carotid artery (ECA). The proximal end of the CCA was separated from the distal end of the ECA and ligated. The CCA was ligated distally, and a suture (Beijing Xinnong Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was inserted and passed through the ICA until the middle cerebral artery (MCA) was blocked. We first made the brains of C57BL / 6JNifdc male mice ischemic for 1 h 20 min, and injected the corresponding drugs at a dose of 100 μmol / kg via the tail vein during ischemia, and then reperfused for 24 h. Other treatments were the same as above. Blood was collected after 24 h, and after blood collection, the mice were sacrificed by spinal cord transection, and the brain tissues were taken for further evaluation. First, the infarct area of the brain tissue was evaluated by TTC staining; subsequently, we further measured the serum LDH level and the brain tissue MDA level to evaluate the drug efficacy.

The infarcted area was not stained, and the normal area was stained red. Then, each pair of slices was photographed, and the cerebral infarct area was calculated by ImageJ. The formula is as follows: infarct volume = sum of infarct areas / total area ( Figure 1 A). The research results showed that after administration of 100 μmol / kg ZYSO02, the drug efficacy was significantly better than that of hymecromone after equimolar administration.

Brain tissues were taken to measure the MDA level in the tissues, and the measurement method is described in the MDA kit (solarbio, Beijing) instruction manual. The LDH level reflects the damage of cell membranes caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury, and the MDA level reflects the peroxidation of membrane lipids caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Calculate the Psoralen released at each time point according to the standard curve of 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin, and calculate its release t 1 / 2 was greater than 120 h.

[0193] (2) C57BL / 6JNifdc male mice were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups. They were injected via the tail vein into a mouse model with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). The dose was 100 μmol / kg. The mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation at 30 min, 1 h, and 2 h respectively. Organs such as the mouse brain, liver, kidney, heart, and spleen were taken, and fluorescence monitoring was immediately carried out on them using an in vivo imaging system for animals (Tanon, ABLX6). The results showed that at 30 min, 1 h, and 2 h, the ZYSO20 group, which was originally non-fluorescent, showed fluorescence compared with the blank group, and showed stronger fluorescence signals in multiple organs compared with the original drug group, indicating that the strategy of fluorescence recovery caused by the release of hydrogen sulfide is indeed somewhat feasible.
