Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of natural medicines and medicinal chemistry, specifically to a class of pyranocarbazole oximes and pyranocarbazole nitroketone derivatives. The invention also discloses methods for preparing these derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions, and their uses in treating inflammation-related diseases. Background Technology
[0002] Inflammation is the body's self-protective response to harmful internal and external stimuli, and it is generally classified into acute and chronic inflammation based on its course. Acute inflammation has a rapid onset and short duration, while chronic inflammation lasts longer, sometimes for months or years. Although inflammation can be beneficial to the body to some extent, excessive or prolonged inflammatory responses often exacerbate the development of many diseases, such as autoimmune diseases. Currently, anti-inflammatory drugs used clinically are mainly divided into two categories: steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (SIADs) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, these drugs have problems such as uncertain efficacy, significant side effects, and high cost. Therefore, actively searching for safe, effective, and long-term usable anti-inflammatory drugs has always been a hot topic of concern for medical professionals.
[0003] Pyranocarbazole alkaloids possess a wide range of biological activities. This invention introduces oxime and nitroketones into the pyranocarbazole alkaloid core to obtain a series of derivatives. Pharmacological experiments have confirmed that these derivatives can significantly inhibit NO production by LPS-stimulated Raw264.7 macrophages, suggesting that this type of compound has significant anti-inflammatory activity, thus completing this invention.

[0038] The compounds represented by general formulas I and II in this invention underwent anti-inflammatory pharmacological experiments. Inflammation is a complex biological process that plays a crucial role in various human diseases. The latest theories of inflammatory response suggest that pathogens or non-infectious factors can activate endothelial cells in the body, releasing large amounts of inflammatory mediators and pain-inducing substances, including histamine, prostaglandin PGE2, leukotrienes, and nitric oxide (NO); and by activating specific receptors on the surface of immune cells, releasing inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukins, and interferons. The release of various inflammatory mediators and inflammatory factors is a significant cause of inflammatory responses.
[0039] Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory macrophage models are among the most commonly used in vitro models for inflammation research, characterized by low requirements for model establishment, ease of technique mastery, high reliability, and good reproducibility. LPS activates the immune system, particularly macrophages, by releasing various pro-inflammatory mediators. Macrophages recognize LPS, activating downstream intracellular signaling cascades, leading to the production of several inflammatory mediators and cytokines (including NO), thereby mediating inflammation. Therefore, in this study, an LPS-stimulated Raw 264.7 macrophage model was used to detect the anti-inflammatory activity of compounds.
[0040] The inventors have discovered that the compounds of general formulas I and II provided by this invention exhibit excellent anti-inflammatory activity in the inflammatory response induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation of macrophages.
[0041] Pharmacological experiments have shown that the compounds represented by general formulas I and II have a good protective effect against inflammatory responses induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharides and can be used to prepare drugs for the prevention and / or treatment of inflammatory responses.
[0042] The preferred inflammatory diseases are selected from a variety of common inflammatory reactions, such as respiratory system inflammation, musculoskeletal system inflammation, skin inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.
[0043] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides the use of the compound described in the first aspect or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the preparation of an anti-inflammatory drug.
[0044] The inflammation mentioned is selected from respiratory system inflammation, musculoskeletal system inflammation, skin inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Attached Figure Description

[0121] Pharmacological experiments:
[0122] Experimental Example 1: Protective effect of compound CST 1-25 on the inflammatory response of LPS-stimulated macrophages Raw264.7
[0123] Methods: Frozen cells were quickly removed from liquid nitrogen and placed in a 37°C water bath, gently shaken to thaw, and 3 mL of preheated to room temperature complete culture medium (DMEM + 10% fetal bovine serum + 1% penicillin-streptomycin mixture) was added. After centrifugation at 800g for 3 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended and transferred to a culture dish containing fresh complete culture medium. The cells were incubated at 37°C in a CO2 incubator. In this experiment, revived cells were considered stable after two passages before being used in experiments. Raw264.7 cells are semi-adherent cells, appearing round at rest, with several cells clustered in a "grape-like" shape. Cells were passaged when they reached approximately 90% confluence. The culture medium was discarded, fresh complete culture medium was added, and the cells were detached by pipetting. The cell suspension was collected in a centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 800g for 3 min. Discard the supernatant and collect the cell pellet. Add 1 mL of culture medium to resuspend the cell pellet. Gently pipette to disperse the cell pellet into single cells. Inoculate the cells into culture dishes at a ratio of 1:3 and incubate in a CO2 incubator at 37°C.
[0124] Cells were divided at ρ = 5 × 10 5 Cells / mL were evenly seeded into 96-well plates and incubated at 37°C in a CO2 incubator for 17-24 hours before proceeding with the next operation. The cell culture medium was then replaced with starvation medium containing 1% fetal bovine serum (FBS) for 4 hours. After 4 hours, the cell culture medium was replaced with maintenance medium containing 8% FBS, and 10 μL / well of the drug was added for 2 hours of treatment. Then, 1 μg / mL of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was added for 12 hours of stimulation. The cell culture medium was collected for subsequent experiments.
[0125] NO content was determined using the Griess reagent method: 1% sulfanilamide solution and 0.1% NED solution were prepared and brought to room temperature. 0.1M sodium nitrite was diluted to 100 μM with complete culture medium, and then serially diluted 1:2 to obtain eight standard concentrations. 50 μL / well of sample and standard solutions were added to each well of a 96-well plate. 50 μL / well of 1% sulfanilamide solution was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at room temperature in the dark for 5 min. 50 μL / well of 0.1% NED solution was added to each well; the color reaction should appear immediately, and the plate was incubated at room temperature in the dark for 5 min. The absorbance at 525 nm was recorded from each well. A linear fit was performed on the absorbance of the standard solutions to obtain the linear equation C = a*A525 + b between the concentration C and the absorbance A525. The NO concentration in each sample was then calculated by substituting the sample absorbance into the equation.
[0126] The results of screening for the anti-inflammatory effects of compound CXT 1-25 on LPS-stimulated Raw264.7 macrophages are detailed in Table 1. LPS stimulation significantly increased NO secretion by cells, while 10 μmol / L CXT 1-25 significantly reduced NO secretion, demonstrating significant anti-inflammatory effects.
