Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a triptolide prodrug, a precursor compound thereof, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the global population aging process, the incidence of stroke shows an upward trend. It is predicted that by 2030, the number of stroke cases will increase to 23 million, and the number of deaths is expected to reach 7.8 million. According to a report by the American Heart Association (AHA), approximately 87% of strokes are ischemic strokes (IS), which is the most common type of stroke currently. However, there is still a lack of rapid and accurate diagnostic methods clinically, resulting in many patients not being able to obtain an accurate diagnosis in a timely manner after the onset, thus missing the best treatment opportunity (usually the thrombolysis time window within 3 - 4.5 hours after the onset). Accurately identifying early ischemic lesions and evaluating the severity of the condition are important challenges faced in current clinical diagnosis and treatment.

[0003] In the treatment of ischemic stroke, although thrombolytic drugs (such as alteplase) and mechanical thrombectomy and other thrombolytic treatment methods can effectively restore blood supply to the penumbra of cerebral ischemia, the reperfusion process (CIR) may trigger secondary pathophysiological damage, including oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, thereby aggravating brain tissue damage and neurological dysfunction. Therefore, if rapid diagnosis can be achieved during the CIR process and combined with drug treatment, it will significantly improve the treatment effect of ischemic stroke.

[0004] The ischemia / reperfusion process will lead to an increase in the level of oxidative stress, generating a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially substances such as peroxynitrite (ONOO - ) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl). These reactive oxygen species will directly damage the DNA, proteins, and lipid membranes of neurons, resulting in neuron death. It is worth noting that peroxynitrite anion (ONOO - ) as a highly toxic reactive oxygen and nitrogen species is generated in large amounts in ischemic brain injury and forms a positive feedback with the inflammatory microenvironment, further exacerbating cell damage and inflammatory responses. Therefore, how to effectively utilize and scavenge ONOO - is of great significance for promoting nerve function recovery. Developing a diagnostic and therapeutic agent based on the activation response of the stroke inflammatory microenvironment will contribute to the rapid diagnosis and precise treatment of ischemic stroke.

[0005] Natural products, due to their complex and diverse chemical structures and remarkable biological activities, have become an important source for new drug research and development. Celastrol is an important bioactive natural product extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f., and it shows great potential and clinical value in clinics due to its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Research has shown that celastrol has a therapeutic effect on ischemic stroke through mechanisms such as anti-inflammation, antioxidant, and neuroprotection. However, due to its poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and the potential for adverse reactions such as liver and kidney damage caused by long-term use, its clinical application is limited. It is worth noting that the prodrug strategy can improve the physicochemical properties of drugs, achieve targeted release, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect and reducing toxic side effects. As a typical near-infrared fluorescent dye, hemicyanine dyes have advantages such as high tissue penetration depth, low light damage, and low background autofluorescence interference, and can be used for fluorescence imaging of biological tissues in vivo. Therefore, adopting the prodrug strategy and using the endogenous ONOO in stroke - as a trigger to develop highly selective, highly efficient, low-toxic diagnostic and therapeutic prodrugs to achieve selective release of active drugs in the brain is of great significance for the efficient treatment of ischemic stroke.

[0078] Example 8: Spectral Properties of the Tripterygium Precursor Drug of the Invention

[0079] The tripterygium precursor drug of the invention and the fluorophore (Compound 4) were respectively dissolved in a DMSO / PBS (v:v = 1:1) mixed solution, and the concentration of the detection solution was 10 μM. The ultraviolet spectral data of the compound of the invention before and after adding the ONOO− solution and the fluorophore (Compound 4) were measured using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer, and the data in the range of 200 - 900 nm were collected. The fluorescence spectral changes of the tripterygium precursor drug of the invention before and after adding the ONOO− solution and the fluorophore (Compound 4) were detected by fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence properties were studied using 721 nm as the excitation wavelength, and the fluorescence emission spectral data in the range of 721 - 900 nm were collected by a fluorescence spectrometer, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0080] Figure 1 are the ultraviolet fluorescence spectra of the tripterygium precursor drug of the invention and the fluorophore (Compound 4) (10 μM) in a DMSO / PBS (v:v = 1:1) mixed solution. Among them, Figure 1 a is the ultraviolet spectrum of Compound I in a DMSO / PBS (v:v = 1:1) mixed solution before and after adding the ONOO− solution; Figure 1 b is the fluorescence spectrum of Compound I in a DMSO / PBS (v:v = 1:1) mixed solution before and after adding the ONOO− solution; Figure 1c is the ultraviolet fluorescence spectrum of fluorophore (4) in a DMSO / PBS (v:v = 1:1) mixed solution.

[0081] The results show ( Figure 1 ): For the prodrug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention in a DMSO / PBS (v:v = 1:1) mixed solution, the maximum ultraviolet absorption peak is at 630 nm ( Figure 1 a), which proves that the prodrug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention can absorb photon energy in the near-infrared light region. The maximum ultraviolet absorption of fluorophore (Compound 4) in a DMSO / PBS (v:v = 1:1) mixed solution is at 721 nm. Under excitation at 721 nm, fluorophore (Compound 4) exhibits near-infrared fluorescence at 762 nm ( Figure 1 c). After adding ONOO⁻ solution (10 μM) to the prodrug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention in a DMSO / PBS (v:v = 1:1) mixed solution, the ultraviolet absorption peak redshifts to 731 nm, and the fluorescence at 762 nm increases instantaneously (10.14 times) ( Figure 1 b), which is consistent with the emission peak of fluorophore (Compound 4). In addition, it shows that the prodrug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention has high sensitivity to ONOO - .

[0082] Example 9: Response ability of the prodrug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention to ONOO - Response ability

[0083] The fluorescence spectroscopy method was used to detect the time responsiveness of the prodrug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention to ONOO - . The specific method is to mix the compound of the present invention with ONOO - (10 μM) and measure the change in fluorescence intensity over time. Figure 2 This is the fluorescence emission spectrum diagram of the response ability of the compound of the present invention to ONOO - ; among them, Figure 2 a is the fluorescence spectrum measured over time of the prodrug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. (10 μM) in a DMSO / PBS (v:v = 1:1) mixed solution; Figure 2 b is the fluorescence spectrum measured over time of the prodrug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. (10 μM) in a DMSO / PBS (v:v = 1:1) mixed solution after adding ONOO⁻ (10 μM); the excitation wavelength is 721 nm, and the emission wavelength is 721 - 900 nm.

[0084] The results show ( Figure 2 ), that when ONOO - is added, the generated fluorescence increases with the extension of time, proving the rapid response characteristic of the prodrug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention to ONOO - . The fluorescence activated by the prodrug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention can remain stable for a long time within 3 hFigure 2 b), which proves that the fluorophore released in response to this compound has good fluorescence stability.

[0085] Example 10: Specific response ability test of the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention to ONOO - Specific response ability test

[0086] The specific response ability of the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention to ONOO was detected by fluorescence spectroscopy. - For analyzing the response selectivity of various substances (including various anions, cations, oxidizing substances, reducing substances) and ONOO in the physiological environment to the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention, at room temperature, the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention was respectively added to the corresponding bioanalytes (such as Na - 、K + 、K + 、Cu 2+ 、Fe 2+ 、Zn 2+ 、Mn 2+ 、Ca 2+ 、Mg 2+ 、I - 、glutathione (GSH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), glucose (Glu), sodium ascorbate (VcNa)) and ONOO - for incubation, and then fluorescence spectroscopy was performed.

[0087] Figure 3 The fluorescence intensity (mean ± standard deviation, n = 3) after incubation treatment for 3 h of the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention (10 μM) in DMSO solution with 1 mM corresponding bioanalytes (such as Na + 、K + 、Cu 2+ 、Fe 2+ 、Zn 2+ 、Mn 2+ 、Ca 2+ 、Mg 2+ 、I - 、glutathione (GSH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), glucose (Glu), sodium ascorbate (VcNa)) and 10 μM ONOO - is shown.

[0088] The results show that ( Figure 3 ), when different interfering ions were respectively added to the solution of the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention, the fluorescence intensity did not show obvious changes; however, when ONOO - was added, the solution showed strong fluorescence, proving that the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention has good response specificity to ONOO - .

[0089] Example 11: Test of the neuroprotective effect of the lead drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention at the cellular level

[0090] First, the cytotoxicity of the lead drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention was detected by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) in vitro toxicity experiment. One bottle of PC12 cells (rat adrenal medulla pheochromocytoma differentiated cell line, from the Shanghai Institute of Cell Biology, China), which were in the exponential growth phase and in good condition, was digested and made into a cell suspension with a concentration of 1×10 4 cells / mL. After plating in a 96-well plate, it was incubated at 37°C in the dark for 24 h. Then, the lead drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention, celastrol, and fluorophore (Compound 4) (0, 0.0078, 0.0156, 0.0313, 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 μM) were added. After continuing to culture for 24 h, MTT was added and reacted for 4 h, then the supernatant was discarded. After adding 100 μL of DMSO, the absorbance value at 490 nm was detected and the cell survival rate was calculated.

[0091] The glycemia-oxygen deprivation / reperfusion (OGD / R) model was used to induce the inflammatory response of PC12 cells. Celastrol was selected as the positive control drug to study the therapeutic effect of the lead drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention.

[0092] PC12 cells in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into a 96-well plate at a density of 1×10 4 cells / well / 100 μL and incubated for 24 h. The culture medium was replaced with sugar-free DMEM complete medium and continued to be incubated in an anaerobic incubator (95% N2 + 5% CO2 mixed gas) for 6 h. After 6 h, the cells were reoxygenated, and then the culture medium was replaced with DMEM complete medium. The cells were treated with complete medium containing different concentrations (0, 0.0078, 0.0156, 0.0313, 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 μM) of the lead drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. in the present invention, celastrol, and fluorophore (Compound 4) and incubated for 24 h to initiate and maintain reperfusion. After adding MTT and reacting for 4 h, the supernatant was discarded. After adding 100 μL of DMSO, the absorbance value at 490 nm was detected and the cell survival rate was calculated.

[0093] Cell survival rate formula:

[0094] Survival rate (%) = (OD value of the experimental group - OD value of the blank control group) / (OD value of the control group - OD value of the blank control group) × 100%

[0095] Among them, the OD value refers to the optical density value. The OD value of the experimental group is the absorbance value of the treated cells, the OD value of the control group is the absorbance value of the untreated cells, and the OD value of the blank control group is the absorbance value of the culture medium.

[0096] The oxygen-glucose deprivation / reperfusion (OGD / R) model was used to induce an inflammatory response in PC12 cells. Celastrol was selected as a positive control drug to study the anti-apoptotic effect of the tripterygium wilfordii pre-drug of the present invention. PC12 cells in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated in 6-well plates at a density of 5×10 5 cells / well / 1000 μL and incubated for 24 h. The medium was replaced with sugar-free DMEM complete medium and incubated in an anaerobic incubator (95% N2 + 5% CO2 mixed gas) for another 6 h. After 6 h, the cells were reoxygenated, and then the medium was replaced with DMEM complete medium. The cells were treated with complete medium containing different concentrations of the tripterygium wilfordii pre-drug of the present invention (0, 0.25, 0.5 μM) and celastrol (0.25 μM) and incubated for 24 h to initiate reperfusion and maintain it. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis in each group.

[0097] Figure 4 This is the test result graph of the neuroprotective effect of the tripterygium wilfordii pre-drug of the present invention at the cellular level; among them, Figure 4 a shows the survival rates of PC12 cells treated with the tripterygium wilfordii pre-drug of the present invention, fluorophore (Compound 4), and celastrol at different concentrations (0, 0.0078, 0.0156, 0.0313, 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 μM). Figure 4 b shows the survival rates of PC12 cells treated with OGD / R and incubated with the tripterygium wilfordii pre-drug of the present invention, fluorophore (Compound 4), and celastrol at different concentrations (0, 0.0078, 0.0156, 0.0313, 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 μM) for 24 h. Figure 4 c shows the apoptotic flow cytometry analysis of PC12 cells treated with OGD / R and incubated with the tripterygium wilfordii pre-drug of the present invention and celastrol (0.5 μM) at different concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5 μM) for 24 hours. Figure 4 d shows the quantitative analysis of apoptotic cells in each group. (Mean ± standard deviation, n = 3).

[0098] The results showed ( Figure 4 ) that after treatment with the tripterygium wilfordii pre-drug of the present invention at a dose of up to 1 μM, the cell viability of PC12 cells could reach 80% ( Figure 4 a). After treatment with OGD / R, the cell viability decreased significantly. After incubation with the tripterygium wilfordii pre-drug of the present invention, fluorophore (Compound 4), and celastrol, the tripterygium wilfordii pre-drug of the present invention had a better effect on improving the cell viability of PC12 cells than celastrol and fluorophore (Compound 4) at the same dose (0.125 - 0.75 μM) ( Figure 4b), showing that the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention can effectively improve the cell viability after OGD / R injury. Further, the neuroprotective effect of the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention on PC12 cells treated with OGD / R was verified by flow cytometry analysis. The results of Annexin V-FITC / propidium iodide (PI) double staining showed that the apoptosis rate of PC12 cells treated with OGD / R was relatively high, and the apoptosis rate was significantly reduced after treatment with the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention, and the effect was significantly better than that of celastrol( Figure 4 c, d). It was proved that the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention has a good protective effect on OGD / simulated ischemic stroke.

[0099] Example 12: Selective imaging test of the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention in OGD / R model

[0100] The selective imaging ability of the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention in the OGD / R model was evaluated by confocal fluorescence imaging. The experimental groups were divided as follows: PBS group, the compound group of the present invention, OGD / R group, OGD / R + 0.25 μM compound group of the present invention, OGD / R + 0.5 μM compound group of the present invention. The sugar oxygen deprivation model (OGD / R) was used to induce the inflammatory response of PC12 cells to study the selective imaging effect of the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention in the OGD / R model. PC12 cells in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated in a confocal dish at a density of 5×10 4 cells / well / 1000 μL and incubated for 24 h. The culture medium was replaced with sugar-free DMEM complete medium and incubated in an anaerobic incubator (95% N2 + 5% CO2 mixed gas) for another 6 h. After 6 h, the cells were reoxygenated, and then the culture medium was replaced with DMEM complete medium. The cells were treated with complete medium containing different concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5 μM) of the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention and incubated for 2 h to initiate reperfusion and maintain it. The PBS group and the compound group of the present invention without OGD / R treatment were used as controls. After washing 3 times with PBS, the nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33342 and then confocal microscopy was performed. Figure 5 is the result diagram of the selective imaging test of the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention in the OGD / R model. Among them, Figure 5 a shows the selective imaging of the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention after OGD / R treatment of PC12 cells, scale bar = 50 μm, Figure 5 b is Figure 5 the quantitative analysis of a.

[0101] The results showed ( Figure 5 ), that the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention itself did not produce fluorescence, but after OGD / R treatment, its fluorescence signal was significantly enhanced and showed an obvious concentration dependence ( Figure 5 a, b). It was proved that the pre-treatment drug of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention has a relatively wide cell selective imaging ability.

[0102] Example 12: Test on the organelle-targeting ability of the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention

[0103] The co-localization experiment was used to evaluate the organelle-targeting ability of the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention. PC12 cells were seeded into confocal dishes. After incubation for a period of time, the fresh complete medium was changed, and the cells were stimulated with LPS, and then treated with the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention. The culture medium was discarded and the cells were washed with PBS. MitoTracker Green (MTG, a mitochondrial-specific dye) and LysoTracker Green (LTG, a lysosome-specific dye) were added successively for incubation, followed by washing with PBS, and then incubated with Hoechst33342 to stain the cell nuclei. Finally, confocal microscopy was used to take pictures.

[0105] The results showed ( Figure 6 Figs. a, b, c, d, e and f in

[0106] that the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention had good co-localization with MTG and LTG (Person co-localization coefficient = 0.83), demonstrating the dual-targeting ability of the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention in mitochondria and lysosomes.

[0107] Model establishment of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO): Mice were fasted 12 h before surgery, and the anesthetic was 2.5% tribromoethanol. The anesthetized mice were placed supine on the operating table, and the four feet of the mice were fixed to ensure smooth breathing. The hair on the neck of the mice was removed with scissors, the common carotid artery, internal carotid artery and external carotid artery were separated, and a thread embolism was inserted into the middle cerebral artery and fixed. After 1 h of ischemia, the thread embolism was removed, and normal saline / the tripterygium pre-drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention (3.8 μmol / kg) was immediately injected into the tail vein. The mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:

[0108] 1) Sham group, i.e., the sham operation group: The mice were only separated the blood vessels but not inserted the thread embolism, and 3.8 μmol / kg of Compound I of the present invention was injected into the tail vein;

[0111] The changes in the fluorescence signal in the brains of mice were observed in real - time (5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h) using a small animal imager. Meanwhile, the brain tissues were taken out at specific time points after drug administration for ex - vivo fluorescence imaging analysis to comprehensively evaluate the fluorescence imaging ability of the tripterygium wilfordii pre - drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention and its targeting to ischemic brain tissues.

[0112] Figure 7 It is the fluorescence imaging test result diagram of the mouse model of cerebral ischemia - reperfusion with the tripterygium wilfordii pre - drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention; among them, Figure 7 a is the fluorescence imaging of the mouse model of cerebral ischemia - reperfusion injected with the tripterygium wilfordii pre - drug for diagnosis and treatment of the present invention, the mice in the Sham group, and the mice in the normal Control group.

[0115] Model establishment of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO): Mice were fasted for 12 h before surgery, and the anesthetic was 2.5% tribromoethanol. The anesthetized mice were placed supine on the operating table, and the four feet of the mice were fixed to ensure smooth breathing. The hair on the neck of the mice was removed with scissors, the common carotid artery, internal carotid artery and external carotid artery were separated, and a suture was inserted into the middle cerebral artery and fixed. After 1 h of ischemia, the suture was withdrawn, and normal saline / celastrol (3.8 μmol / kg) / the lead drug for treating and diagnosing Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention (3.8 μmol / kg) was immediately injected into the tail vein. To evaluate the therapeutic effect of the lead drug for treating and diagnosing Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention in vivo, the mice were randomly divided into four groups:

[0116] 1) sham group, i.e., the sham operation group: The blood vessels of the mice were only separated but no suture was inserted, and 200 μL of normal saline was injected into the tail vein;

[0117] 2) MCAO group, and 200 μL of normal saline was given to the experimental mice after model establishment;

[0118] 3) MCAO+celastrol group: Celastrol 3.8 μmol / kg / d was injected into the tail vein of the modeled mice, and the drug was administered twice in total for 48 h of treatment;

[0119] 4) MCAO+Compound I of the present invention group, and Compound I of the present invention 3.8 μmol / kg / d was injected into the tail vein of the modeled mice, and the drug was administered twice in total for 48 h of treatment. After two consecutive days of treatment, Longa score was performed to evaluate the neurological deficit.

[0120] Subsequently, the mice were anesthetized and the brain tissues were taken out, TTC staining was performed to measure the infarct volume, and at the same time, the pathological structure of the brain tissue and the morphological changes of neurons were observed by H&E staining to comprehensively evaluate the therapeutic effect of the lead drug for treating and diagnosing Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. of the present invention.

Among them, Figure 8 a is the TTC staining picture of the cerebral coronal section of each group of mice. Figure 8 b is the statistical chart of the cerebral infarct volume of each group of mice (mean±standard deviation, n = 3). Figure 8 c is the neurological function score of each group of mice (mean±standard deviation, n = 6).

[0122] The results show ( Figure 8 ), compared with the sham group, the neurological function score of the mice in the MCAO group was significantly increased, and large-area infarction appeared in the brain tissue ( Figure 8a, b). The neurological function scores of the mice in the MCAO + celastrol group and the MCAO + Compound I of the present invention group were significantly reduced, and the improvement effect of the MCAO + Compound of the present invention group was more obvious ( Figure 8 c). The TTC staining results showed that after MCAO modeling, treatment with the compound of the present invention could significantly reduce the cerebral infarction volume, and the effect was better than that of the MCAO + celastrol group. Figure 8 a, b). The above results demonstrated that the present compound has good brain protection effects, can significantly reduce the cerebral infarction area, improve the pathological structure of cerebral ischemic mice, and provide a new potential strategy for the treatment of cerebral ischemic diseases.
