Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and specifically discloses a drug comprising a small molecule compound having a 2-arcarboxylbenzozaza heterostructure and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Pulmonary macrophages (MCs) are resident cells within the alveoli, possessing physiological characteristics such as adhesion, deformability, migration, chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and secretion, serving as the lung's first line of defense. When alveoli are damaged by exogenous substances (including bacteria and toxic chemical gas particles), MCs rapidly migrate to the site of damage, recognize damaged cells or exogenous substances, and release inflammatory mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β, and IL-6. The inflammatory mediators released by MCs cause vasodilation and increased permeability, promoting the aggregation of other inflammatory cells, thereby clearing pathogens and damaged cells. However, excessive inflammation will exacerbate the pulmonary inflammatory response, damaging alveolar epithelial cells and microvascular walls, leading to lung tissue damage, rupture of the alveolar-capillary barrier, and pulmonary edema. Long-term, persistent, and high-intensity inflammatory responses can trigger acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and even death. Therefore, during the period of excessive inflammatory response in inflammatory lung disease, inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory factors by MC can reduce the infiltration of inflammatory cells and lung tissue damage, thereby maintaining the normal structure and function of lung tissue.
[0003] Currently, clinical treatment for the excessive inflammatory response phase of inflammatory lung disease mainly relies on supportive therapies such as mechanical ventilation and fluid management, as well as high-dose corticosteroids and plasma exchange for inflammatory factors. However, in the excessive inflammatory response phase of severe pneumonia, high-dose corticosteroid pulse therapy carries serious complications such as thrombosis and gastrointestinal bleeding, while plasma exchange for inflammatory factors is expensive, requires sophisticated clinical equipment, and is difficult for ordinary hospitals to implement. Therefore, the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs can better meet clinical treatment needs. By inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory factors in MC (myeloid pulmonary artery), the progression of pulmonary inflammation can be controlled at its source, providing strong support for the development of novel treatment strategies for inflammatory lung disease. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art, the present invention provides a drug comprising a small molecule compound having a 2-arcarboxylbenzoza heterostructure and its application.

[0105] Example 6
[0106] In this embodiment, the cytotoxicity of compounds L1-L5 and their inhibitory effect on LPS-induced MH-S cell inflammatory response were detected through the following process.
[0107] The specific process is as follows:
[0108] 1. Detection of the cytotoxicity of compounds L1-L5 to MH-S cells using the CCK-8 assay.
[0109] Detection procedure: MH-S cells (mouse alveolar macrophage cell line) were prepared at a ratio of 5 × 10⁻⁶. 3 Cells were seeded into 96-well plates at the specified density, with 9 groups per plate: one control group (containing only the drug solvent dimethyl sulfoxide) and eight drug-treated groups (containing compounds L1-L5 at concentrations of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 5000 nM, respectively). Each group had 5 replicates. The culture medium was complete (DMEM + 10% (v / v) FBS + 1% (v / v) antibiotics), and the cells were incubated for 24, 48, and 72 hours. At the corresponding time points, 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent was added to each well, and the cells were incubated in the dark for 1 hour. After incubation, the cells were shaken thoroughly on a microplate reader, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured (the higher the number of viable cells, the higher the absorbance).
[0110] Detection results: The IC50 values of each compound for MH-S cell cytotoxicity are as follows (Table 1).
[0111] Table 1. IC50 of compounds L1-L5 on MH-S cytotoxicity 50
[0112] Example Cytotoxicity (nM) L1 2678.75±50.87 L2 1547.59±74.82 L3 1897.11±61.75 L4 2456.94±98.39 L5 3145.88±45.16
[0113] 2. The effects of compounds L1-L5 on LPS-induced inflammatory responses in MH-S cells were detected using ELISA.
[0114] Detection process: MH-S cells were prepared at a ratio of 5 × 10⁻⁶ 6 Cells were seeded in 6-well plates and starved for 8 hours in serum-free medium after cell attachment. A gradient concentration of candidate compounds was added, with the final dose determined according to Test 1, using six non-cytotoxic drug doses: 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 nM. When cells reached 70% confluence, the medium was replaced with serum-free DMEM for another 8 hours of starvation. After 30 minutes of stimulation, 1 μg / mL of LPS (Sigma-L3129) was added for 6 hours of stimulation. Cell supernatant was collected, and the secretion levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF were detected using an ELISA kit (from Linke Biotechnology).
[0115] Test results: such as Figure 11As shown in (A) to (C), the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in the supernatant of LPS-induced MH-S cells were significantly higher than those in the control group. This indicates that compounds L1 to L5 can reduce the LPS-induced increase in TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels, with compound L2 showing the most significant inhibitory effect at the same dose.
[0116] Subsequently, based on the results of the cytotoxicity test of each compound on MH-S cells, a 100 nM dose of the compound that had no cytotoxic effect on the MH-S cell line was selected, and the inhibitory effect of the compound on LPS-induced inflammatory factor expression at this dose was tested. At the same time, the classic anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone (Dex) (MCE-HY-14648) was selected as an anti-inflammatory positive control.
[0117] Detection Procedure: MH-S cells were seeded in 6-well plates with the following solutions: PBS + solvent, LPS + solvent, LPS + L1 100nM, LPS + L2 100nM, LPS + L3 100nM, LPS + L4 100nM, LPS + L5 100nM, and LPS + Dex 100nM. When the cells reached 70% confluence, they were starved for 8 hours in serum-free DMEM medium. Then, the solvent, compounds L1-L5 (100nM), and Dex (100nM) were added for 30 minutes each. Following this, PBS or 100 ng / mL LPS was added for 6 hours. The cell supernatant was then collected, and the secretion levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF were detected using an ELISA kit.
[0118] Test results: such as Figure 11 As shown in (D), the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in the supernatant of LPS-induced MH-S cells were significantly higher than those in the control group. Among them, the inhibitory effect of compound L2 was the most significant at the same dose, and its inhibitory effect on inflammatory factors was not different from that of Dex.
[0119] Specifically: at a dose of 100 nM, the positive control dexamethasone showed inhibition rates (%) of 62.81±2.32, 58.53±1.55, and 63.54±2.38 against TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, respectively; while the test compound L2 at a dose of 100 nM showed inhibition rates (%) of 59.39±3.94, 54.57±1.64, and 61.64±6.56 against TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, respectively, with no statistically significant difference compared to the positive control (Table 2).

[0122] 3. The inhibitory effect of the preferred compound L2 on LPS-induced acute lung injury in mice.
[0123] Establishment of an acute lung injury model: After anesthetizing mice with isoflurane inhalation, the mice were fixed in a supine position on a mouse restraint board. The pharynx of the mice was irradiated with a fiber optic cable, and the tongue of the mice was gently lifted outward with forceps. Tracheal pulsation could be observed through the mouth. At a dose of 10 μL / 10g of mouse body weight, the appropriate volume of LPS solution (final LPS concentration of 4 mg / mL, the control group received an equal volume of physiological saline) was drawn up using a quantitative nebulizer. The quantitative nebulizer was slowly inserted into the trachea to nebulize the corresponding volume of LPS solution. After instilling the LPS solution (or physiological saline), the mice were held upright for about 5 minutes, and then laid supine in the cage to await awakening.
[0124] Intratracheal nebulization administration: The preferred candidate compound L2 was administered via intratracheal nebulization at 2 and 6 hours after LPS instillation at a dose of 0.3 mg / mL, 10 μL / 10g mouse body weight; the Dex positive control group was administered at a dose of 0.3 mg / mL, 10 μL / 10g mouse body weight, and the control and model groups were given only the same volume of solvent.
[0125] Mouse tissue collection: Mice were sacrificed 24 hours after being given LPS. 1 mL of 4% paraformaldehyde (Biosharp-BL539A) was injected into the trachea, and the whole lungs were then immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution for 1 week. After paraffin embedding and sectioning, HE staining was performed to observe the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lungs. The standard Smith scoring method was used to semi-quantitatively score pulmonary edema, alveolar and interstitial inflammation, alveolar and interstitial hemorrhage, atelectasis, and hyaline membrane formation.
[0126] Test results: such as Figure 12 As shown in (A) and (B), compared with the control group (ctrl), HE staining of lung tissue in the model group (LPS) mice showed thickened alveolar walls, inflammatory cell infiltration, and septal edema. After administration of Dex (LPS + Dex 0.3 mg / mL), inflammatory cell infiltration and septal edema in the lung tissue of mice were significantly improved. At the same time, after administration of L2 compound (LPS + L2 0.3 mg / mL), inflammatory cell infiltration and septal edema in the lung tissue of mice were significantly reduced. There was no statistically significant difference in Smith scores between the two groups.
