Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry technology, specifically relating to chalcone-substituted compounds, their preparation methods, and their use in the preparation of anti-inflammatory drugs. Background Technology

[0002] Inflammation is a complex physiological stress response of the blood vessels in the human body when exposed to harmful factors such as pathogens, physical damage, or chemical irritants. Both acute and chronic inflammation can cause varying degrees of damage to the body. If inflammation is not controlled in time, it may develop into serious diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, and chronic asthma. Therefore, the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs has always been a hot topic in the pharmaceutical field.

[0003] Existing anti-inflammatory drugs, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), with aspirin as a representative, alleviate inflammatory symptoms by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) activity and reducing prostaglandin production. However, long-term use of NSAIDs is often accompanied by gastrointestinal side effects (such as ulcers and bleeding) and kidney damage, limiting their clinical application. Chalcones are a class of flavonoids widely found in natural plants, possessing various biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects. Their anti-inflammatory effect is partly attributed to the inhibition of inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines. However, the bioavailability and efficacy of chalcones used alone still need improvement.

The test drug was prepared by the Pharmaceutical Chemistry Laboratory of the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Anhui Medical University.

[0163] Cell line: RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages, derived from the cell bank of the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Anhui Medical University.

[0164] Experimental methods and results Experiment 1: Effects of chalcone-substituted compounds on LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells Experimental Background Nitric oxide (NO) is a key inflammatory mediator generated by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) during inflammation and is closely related to inflammatory damage. This experiment aims to evaluate the inhibitory effect of chalcone-substituted compounds on NO production.

[0165] Experimental methods Cell culture: RAW 264.7 cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and incubated in an incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2, and saturated humidity.

[0166] Experimental grouping: Cells were grouped at a rate of 2 × 10⁻⁶. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of cells / well in 96-well plates and divided into the following groups after cell adhesion: Untreated control group (blank group); LPS stimulation group (1 μg / mL LPS, inducing an inflammation model); test compound 1-43 (10 μM test compound pretreated for 4 hours, then 1 μg / mL LPS added); positive control group (10 μM aspirin pretreated for 4 hours, then LPS added); NO determination: After 24 hours of culture, 100 μL of cell supernatant from each group was collected, mixed with an equal volume of Griess reagent, incubated at room temperature in the dark for 15 minutes, and the absorbance was measured at 540 nm using a microplate reader.

[0167] Experimental results The experimental results are shown in Figure 1 As shown, the synthesized chalcone-substituted compounds all inhibited NO release at a concentration of 10 μM, and most of the compounds showed stronger NO-inhibiting ability than aspirin.

[0168] Experiment 2: Effects of chalcone-substituted compounds on LPS-induced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in RAW 264.7 cells (ELISA method) Experimental Background Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are important pro-inflammatory cytokines in the inflammatory process, and their overexpression can exacerbate the inflammatory response and tissue damage. This study used ELISA to evaluate the inhibitory effect of chalcone-substituted compounds on the secretion of these cytokines.

[0169] Experimental methods Cell culture and grouping: Same as Experiment 1, cells were cultured at 2 × 10⁶ cells / year. 4 The cells were seeded at a density of cells / well in 96-well plates. Experimental groups included: blank group, LPS stimulation group (1 μg / mL), test compound treatment group (compounds 30 and 37-43, pretreated with 10 μM for 4 hours and then treated with LPS), and positive control group (10 μM).

[0170] ELISA assay: After 24 hours of culture, cell supernatant was collected and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C. Cytokine levels in the supernatant were measured using a commercial TNF-α and IL-6 ELISA kit (R&D Systems). The specific procedure was performed according to the kit instructions: 100 μL of supernatant was added to a pre-coated 96-well plate and incubated at 37°C for 2 hours; after washing, biotin-labeled detection antibody was added and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour; after washing again, streptavidin-HRP working solution was added and incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes; after washing, TMB substrate was added for color development, and the absorbance was measured at 450 nm (reference wavelength 570 nm) after terminating the reaction. The concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 (pg / mL) were calculated based on the standard curve.

[0171] Experimental results The experimental results are shown in Figure 2 As shown, chalcone-substituted compounds inhibited TNF-α expression by approximately 50% at 10 μM, while other chalcone-substituted compounds showed no significant inhibitory effect. Chalcone-substituted compounds all significantly inhibited IL-6 at a concentration of 10 μM, and were superior to chalcone derivatives alone.

[0172] Experiment 3: Acute toxicity study of chalcone-substituted compounds Experimental Background Acute toxicity testing is an important indicator for evaluating drug safety. It is used to determine the potential toxic reactions and toxic dose range after a single dose, providing a safe dosage reference for subsequent pharmacodynamic studies and clinical trials. This experiment evaluates the acute toxicity of compound 43 after a single high-dose administration.

[0173] Experimental methods Laboratory animals and their grouping: Female C57BL / 6 mice (7 weeks old, weighing 19-21 g) were selected and administered the drug (1200 mg / kg, single oral gavage) after 7 days of acclimatization. Administration and observation: Mice in each group were fasted for 12 hours but allowed free access to water. On the first day of the experiment, between 9 and 10 AM, a single dose was administered via gavage. The dose volume was 20 mL / kg body weight. Normal food and water intake were resumed immediately after administration.

[0174] Closely observe the general condition of mice after administration, and record symptoms of poisoning and mortality. Observational indicators include: activity level, coat condition, respiratory rate, food and water intake, fecal characteristics, neurological symptoms (such as tremors, spasms, ataxia, etc.) and other abnormal manifestations. Observations should be conducted at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours after administration, and thereafter twice daily (once in the morning and once in the afternoon) for 14 consecutive days. Weight should be measured and recorded before and daily after administration.

[0175] Experimental results The experimental results are shown in Figure 3 As shown in the figure. During the 14-day observation period, no mice in the treatment group (1200 mg / kg) died, and the mortality rate was 0%. No obvious symptoms of poisoning were observed at any time point after administration. The mice's activity, diet, water intake, fur condition, respiration and fecal characteristics were normal. No abnormal manifestations such as tremors, spasms, salivation, or diarrhea were observed, and their weight remained stable and steadily increased.

[0176] Experiment 4: DSS-induced acute colitis model in mice and evaluation of the anti-inflammatory activity of compound 43 Experimental Background Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis is a classic animal model for studying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mimicking the clinicopathological features of human colitis, including colonic shortening, mucosal ulceration, and extensive inflammatory cell infiltration. This study aimed to evaluate the preventive and therapeutic effects of compound 43 on DSS-induced colitis in mice.

[0177] Experimental methods Laboratory animals and their grouping: Female C57BL / 6 mice (7 weeks old, weighing 19–21 g) were selected and randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 5) after 7 days of acclimatization: Normal control group (drinking distilled water); DSS model group (2.5% DSS aqueous solution for free drinking); Low-dose group of compound 43 (DSS + 43, 25 mg / kg, daily by gavage); The medium-dose group of compound 43 (DSS + 43, 50 mg / kg, daily by gavage); High-dose group of compound 43 (DSS + 43, 100 mg / kg, daily by gavage); Model establishment and drug administration: From day 1 to day 7 of the experiment, except for the normal control group, mice in the other groups had free access to 2.5% DSS (w / v, MW 36–50 kDa) solution. Compound 43 was administered by gavage starting on the day of modeling (Day 0), once daily for 7 consecutive days; the normal control and DSS model groups were given an equal volume of 0.5% CMC-Na suspension.

[0178] Observation and testing: Record weight, stool characteristics, and rectal bleeding daily, and calculate the Disease Activity Index (DAI). Mice were sacrificed on day 8, and colon length was measured.

[0179] Experimental results The experimental results are shown in Figure 4 As shown, mice in the DSS model group experienced a continuous decrease in body weight from day 4 onwards, exhibiting loose stools and visible bloody stools, and a significantly elevated DAI score. The high-dose compound 43 group showed a significantly reduced rate of body weight loss, with a DAI score approximately 50% lower than the model group. Furthermore, the colon in the DSS group was significantly shortened, and the colon length in the treated groups showed varying degrees of relief compared to the DSS group.

[0180] Compounds 1-42 prepared using the methods described in Examples 1-42 were also subjected to acute toxicity studies and anti-inflammatory activity evaluations. The results showed that compounds 1-42 had similar effects to compound 43.

[0181] in conclusion The above experiments show that: Significant in vitro anti-inflammatory activity: Chalcone-substituted compounds significantly inhibited LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells (inhibition rate 60%); Effective inhibition of inflammatory mediators: Chalcone-substituted compounds effectively reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6; High biocompatibility: A single oral administration of 1200 mg / kg to the treatment group did not produce significant acute toxicity in mice, indicating good safety. In vivo anti-inflammatory activity: Chalcone-substituted compound 43 could alleviate inflammatory symptoms in colitis mice, effectively reduce the disease index, reduce weight loss, and alleviate colonic shortening caused by DSS. In summary, chalcone-substituted compounds have high biocompatibility and can exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting various inflammatory mediators (e.g., NO, TNF-α, IL-6). Furthermore, they also exhibited anti-inflammatory effects in in vivo experiments on colitis mice, providing experimental evidence for the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs.
