Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide compound and its synthesis method and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] Gout is a kind of joint disease caused by uric acid deposition in vivo, and the formation of gout is closely related to the metabolic disorder of uric acid. Uric acid is decomposed from purine material, and purine exists in all tissues of the body. Uric acid is excreted with urine through kidney after blood decomposition, and when uric acid excretion is insufficient, the content of uric acid in vivo is increased, thereby causing gout. URAT1 is a kind of organic anion transporter protein, and the content of uric acid in vivo is increased by reabsorbing uric acid. Therefore, inhibiting the activity of URAT1 can reduce the reabsorption of uric acid, thereby reducing the content of uric acid in vivo, and playing an important role in treating gout. At present, the drugs for treating gout mostly have some side effects such as greater toxicity, so it is of great significance to develop more efficient URAT1 inhibitors for treating gout. SUMMARY

Cells were added to the control and experimental groups, but no cells were added to the blank and zero-adjustment groups. After incubation for 48 h, readings were taken using a microplate reader with an excitation wavelength of 490 nm and an emission wavelength of 525 nm, followed by shaking. Inhibition rate (%) = (Control group - Experimental group / Control group - Blank group) × 100%. Survival rate (%) = (Experimental group - Zero-adjustment group / Control group - Zero-adjustment group) × 100%. Benzbromarone was used as the positive compound in the experiment.
