Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, and in particular to a mono- and di-magnoliol monomer derivative, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Bi-magnolignan (BiM) is a lignan-based natural product isolated from the dried leaves of the traditional medicinal plant Magnolia officinalis. This molecule possesses a unique bibenzofuran skeleton, which can be considered as two identical monomers linked by a C-C bond. The monomers have a bibenzofuran core structure with allyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups substituted on the aromatic ring. Compared to structurally similar magnolol compounds, BiM has a more complex molecular structure and larger molecular size, and its unique structure may affect its biological activity and pharmacokinetic properties. Current research on the biological activity of BiM mainly focuses on its cytotoxic effects. Research by Ma Wenzhe's group shows that BiM has broad-spectrum inhibitory effects on tumor cells from various tissues, with an IC50 ranging from 0.4 to 7.5 μM, while exhibiting low toxicity to normal cells, demonstrating some selectivity. Drug-likeness assessments indicate that BiM has good drug development potential, and the molecule possesses moderate blood-brain barrier penetration ability, providing a theoretical basis for the application of BiM in central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
[0003] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system, clinically manifested as memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, visuospatial impairment, and behavioral and personality changes. Drug therapy is currently the main clinical treatment for AD; however, the efficacy of existing drugs is not ideal, only alleviating the patient's mental symptoms and failing to halt disease progression. Therefore, the development of anti-AD drugs is urgently needed. The pathological features of AD include amyloid plaques formed by the abnormal deposition of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) formed by the hyperphosphorylation and accumulation of tau protein. With a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of AD, we have found that formaldehyde (FA) plays a key role in several pathogenic hypotheses. Pathological FA accumulation accelerates the formation of amyloid plaques and NFTs by promoting Aβ oligomerization and tau protein phosphorylation, while Aβ inhibition of ADH-5 inversely induces FA accumulation, creating a vicious cycle. Excessive fatty acids (FAs) can also promote Ca2+ influx, increasing ROS production and inducing oxidative stress; and by inhibiting COX activity, they can block the electron transport chain, thereby reducing ATP synthesis and inducing neuronal death. Furthermore, FAs can also promote AD development by inhibiting ChAT activity and reducing ACh levels.
[0004] Therefore, the search for effective compounds with anti-FA effects provides a new approach for the development of anti-AD drugs, which has important theoretical significance and practical value. Summary of the Invention

Example 6 This example provides a series of mono- and di-homonasin monomeric derivatives (16a~16h), and the reaction equations and preparation methods are as follows:
[0046] In a 100 mL round-bottom flask, phenolic acid compounds (6.1 mmol, 13a-h), imidazole (12.2 mmol), and DMAP (0.61 mmol) were added. Under nitrogen protection, 20 mL of DCM was added, stirred to dissolve, and the mixture was placed in an ice bath. TBSCl (7.3 mmol) was added at 0 °C. The ice bath was removed, and the reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 3 h. After the reaction was complete as monitored by TLC, the mixture was extracted three times with DCM. The organic phases were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under vacuum to obtain the crude product. The crude product was then purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the intermediate product (14a-h). (The equivalent amounts of imidazole, DMAP, and TBSCl were increased proportionally according to the number of hydroxyl groups in the phenolic acid structure.) The intermediate (14a-h, 0.62 mmol) was added to a reaction tube, followed by 2.5 mL of DCM, stirred to dissolve, and placed in an ice bath. At 0 °C, EDCI·HCl (1.0 mmol), DMAP (0.075 mmol), and compound 9 (0.25 mmol) were added sequentially. The ice bath was removed, and the reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 1 h. After the reaction was complete as monitored by TLC, it was extracted with DCM. The organic phase was washed sequentially with 0.1 M dilute hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution, and saturated brine, then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The crude product was concentrated under vacuum and purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the intermediate (15a-h).
[0047] The intermediate (15a-h, 0.19 mmol) was added to a reaction tube and dissolved by stirring with 2.0 mL of THF under nitrogen protection. Then, 1 M TBAF in THF (0.42 mmol) was added dropwise, and the reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 20 min. After the reaction was complete as monitored by TLC, the reaction was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride solution, and the mixture was extracted three times using EA. The organic phases were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under vacuum to obtain the crude product, which was then purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the product (16a-h). (The amount of TBAF equivalent was increased proportionally according to the number of hydroxyl groups in the phenolic acid structure.)

Activity test 1. Cells were treated with 0.3 mM FA to establish an FA injury model, and the cell rescue effect of the compound magnolol monomer derivative of this invention on cell damage was further evaluated. The CCK-8 experimental results are shown in Table 1.
[0048] Table 1
[0049] As shown in Table 1, compared with the model group, the derivatives of this invention all improved the viability of damaged cells to varying degrees. Among them, derivatives 16c, 16f, and compound 9 exhibited the strongest cytoprotective effects, increasing cell viability by 120.3%, 116.6%, and 67.3%, respectively, with significantly better protective effects than the natural product BiM. BiM not only failed to provide protection but also further reduced cell viability. These results indicate that the derivatives obtained by selectively modifying the structure of the natural product BiM can effectively antagonize FA-induced neurocytotoxicity.
[0050] 2. The monomeric derivative of magnolol improves FA-induced damage in Caenorhabditis elegans. This study established a FA (fat-induced toxicity) injury model in *Caenorhabditis elegans* to further verify the protective effect of the target compound and screen its optimal concentration. Synchronized N2 nematodes were incubated to the L1 stage and then inoculated onto NGM agar plates with different treatments. When the nematodes reached the L2 stage, they were collected using M9 buffer and washed three times. After natural sedimentation, the supernatant was discarded. 20 mM FA solution was added, and the nematode density was adjusted. 100 μL of the suspension was pipetted into 96-well plates, and the nematode motility index was detected using a wMicroTracker system, with data collected every 2 h until the nematodes died. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, treatment with derivatives 16c, 16f, and compound 9 delayed nematode mortality in a concentration-dependent manner, and each compound exhibited the best protective effect at a concentration of 30 μM.
[0051] Furthermore, to compare the protective efficacy of each compound at its optimal concentration, derivatives 16c and 16f, monomer 9, and BiM were compared at a concentration of 30 μM. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the survival curve of the 16c treatment group was significantly better than that of the other groups, exhibiting the strongest protective effect (p<0.01). This is consistent with the results of the aforementioned CCK-8 experiment. In summary, treatment with 30 μM of 16c, 16f, and compound 9 can effectively improve the survival rate of nematodes exposed to FA. To ensure consistency in subsequent experiments, a concentration of 30 μM was chosen for further research on the target compounds.
[0052] 3. The monomeric derivatives of magnolol and ligustilide reduce FA levels in nematodes. Pathological FA accumulation can directly damage synaptic function and induce AD-like pathological symptoms. Therefore, whether candidate compounds can effectively reduce abnormally elevated FA levels in nematodes is a key efficacy indicator for assessing their potential anti-AD activity. This study used the fluorescent probe NA-SF to detect FA levels in nematodes.
[0053] Synchronized N2 nematodes were incubated to the L1 stage and then inoculated onto NGM agar plates with different treatments, and cultured at 20 °C to the L3 stage. The nematodes were collected and washed using M9 buffer. Then, 12 mM FA was added, and the nematodes were cultured for another 4 h. After this, the FA solution was discarded, and the washing was repeated three times with M9 buffer. Similarly, CL4176 nematodes were cultured at 15 °C for 36 h, then incubated at 25 °C for another 36 h to the L3 stage. The nematodes were collected and washed. Then, 20 μM NA-SF solution was added for staining. N2 and CL4176 nematodes were incubated at 20 °C and 25 °C, respectively, for 30 min. After this, the staining solution was discarded, and the washing was repeated three times with M9 buffer. The nematodes were then anesthetized with sodium azide, mounted on agarose slides, and observed and photographed under an upright fluorescence microscope in GFP mode. Quantitative analysis was performed using ImageJ. The fluorescence results are shown below. Figure 3 As shown, where Figure 3 In the image, A represents the FA fluorescence image of N2 nematode. Figure 3 In this context, B represents the quantified value of FA fluorescence intensity. Compared with untreated N2 nematodes, 12 mM FA treatment led to a sharp increase in FA levels within the nematodes, while treatments with derivatives 16c, 16f, monomer 9, and BiM reversed the abnormal increase in FA levels caused by acute FA exposure to varying degrees. Among them, derivative 16c and compound 9 showed comparable effects, exhibiting the strongest FA scavenging activity. p <0.001) Furthermore, to investigate the ability of the target compound to regulate endogenous FA levels under pathological conditions, FA levels in the AD model nematode CL4176 were measured. Fluorescence chromatogram is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, where Figure 4 In the image, A represents the FA fluorescence images of N2 and CL4176 nematodes. Figure 4 In this context, B represents the quantified value of FA fluorescence intensity. Experimental results show that the basal FA level of CL4176 nematodes is significantly higher than that of wild-type N2 nematodes. Treatment with the above compounds significantly reduced the abnormal endogenous FA level in CL4176 nematodes. Derivative 16c and monomer 9 still showed outstanding performance in endogenous FA scavenging. p <0.001).
[0054] The experimental results above indicate that derivatives 16c, 16f, monomer 9, and BiM can not only effectively reverse the increase in exogenous FA levels caused by acute FA exposure, but also significantly reduce the accumulation of endogenous FA in the AD model nematode. The regulatory effects of these candidate compounds on FA homeostasis suggest their potential as anti-AD drugs.
[0055] 4. The monomeric derivative of magnolol delays the paralysis process of CL4176 nematodes. The anti-AD effect of the target compound was validated using Aβ-transgenic nematodes through multidimensional phenotypic verification. After temperature induction, CL4176 nematodes expressed human Aβ1-42 in body wall muscle cells and exhibited a rapid paralysis phenotype. The paralysis experiment method is as follows: Synchronized CL4176 nematodes were incubated to the L1 stage and then inoculated onto NGM agar plates with different treatments, and cultured at 15 °C for 36 h. Subsequently, at least 25 nematodes from each group were transferred to new 3 cm NGM agar plates coated with OP50 bacterial zones, and the temperature was raised to 25 °C to induce Aβ expression. Paralysis data were recorded every 2 h starting 24 h after temperature rise until all nematodes were paralyzed. The criterion for determining the paralysis phenotype was: when the tail of the nematode was gently plucked with a platinum wire, the nematode only retained the ability to respond to mechanical stimulation in its head and could not complete whole-body movement.
[0056] The result is as follows Figure 5 As shown, where, Figure 5 In the image, A represents a typical microscopic image of the CL4176 nematode in its normal and paralyzed states. Figure 5 In the figure, B represents the paralysis analysis of CL4176 nematodes. Treatment with derivatives 16c, 16f, compound 9, and BiM effectively delayed the paralysis time of CL4176 nematodes. Among them, derivative 16c showed the best effect, delaying the final paralysis time by 8 hours compared with untreated nematodes.
[0057] 5. The monomeric derivative of magnolol improves cognitive dysfunction in CL2355 nematodes. CL2355 nematode is an Aβ transgenic nematode whose phenotype more closely resembles the typical pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). CL2355 nematodes express human Aβ1-42 in neurons, mimicking the cognitive impairment caused by abnormal Aβ aggregation. Its typical behavioral phenotype is a deficiency in benzaldehyde chemotaxis. Chemotaxis experiments are as follows: Synchronized Aβ transgenic nematodes CL2355 and the control strain CL2122 were incubated to the L1 stage and then inoculated onto NGM agar plates with different treatments. After incubation at 15 ℃ for 36 h, the temperature was increased to 25 ℃ and incubated for another 36 h to reach the L3 stage. A 6 cm NGM agar plate without OP50 was divided into two parts: a trap zone (T) and a normal zone (N). 2 μL of 0.1% benzaldehyde ethanol solution and 2 μL of 0.25 M sodium azide solution were added to the center of the T zone, and 2 μL of ethanol solution and 2 μL of 0.25 M sodium azide solution were added to the corresponding position in the N zone as controls. Subsequently, at least 25 nematodes from each group were picked and placed in the center of the agar plate, incubated at 25 ℃ for 30 min, and the number of nematodes in each quadrant was observed and recorded; the chemotactic index (CI) was calculated as [(T-N) / (T+N)]×100%.
[0058] The experimental results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, compared with the control strain CL2122 (which does not express Aβ), the chemotactic index of CL2355 nematodes was significantly reduced (p<0.001), confirming its cognitive-behavioral deficits. However, after treatment with the candidate compound, the chemotactic index of CL2355 nematodes showed varying degrees of recovery, indicating that its benzaldehyde chemotactic deficit was effectively improved. Notably, after treatment with derivative 16c, the chemotactic index of CL2355 nematodes almost returned to normal levels. This experimental result strongly supports the conclusion that the candidate compound has a neuroprotective effect on the AD model nematode.
[0059] 6. The monomeric derivative of magnolol reduces the expression level of Aβ in CL4176 nematodes. The Aβ mRNA level in the Aβ transgenic nematode CL4176 was detected using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, treatment with derivative 16c, compound 9, and BiM resulted in varying degrees of downregulation of Aβ mRNA levels in CL4176 nematodes, with 16c exhibiting the most significant downregulation (p<0.01). This result indicates that the aforementioned compounds can exert anti-AD effects by inhibiting Aβ mRNA transcription in transgenic nematodes, thereby reducing the expression of their toxic proteins.
[0060] 7. The monomeric derivative of magnolol reduces the level of Aβ oligomer protein in GMC101 nematodes. Following temperature induction, GMC101 expressed human Aβ1-42 in body wall muscle cells, forming Aβ oligomers. This study used Western blot to detect the protein levels of Aβ oligomers in nematodes. Results are as follows... Figure 8 As shown, no specific bands were detected in the control strain CL2122, which does not express Aβ, while Aβ oligomers such as tetramers, pentamers, and hexamers were clearly formed in GMC101 nematodes. Further comparative analysis revealed that, compared with untreated GMC101, treatment with derivatives 16c and 16f significantly reduced the protein levels of Aβ pentamers and hexamers in nematodes. This indicates that 16c and 16f can effectively inhibit Aβ oligomerization, reduce the formation of highly neurotoxic aggregates, and thus exert a neuroprotective effect.
[0061] In summary, this invention provides a series of novel monoclonal derivatives of magnolol. Activity screening results in SH-SY5Y cells showed that these derivatives effectively antagonized FA-induced cytotoxicity. In a *C. elegans* model, they significantly improved the survival rate of nematodes exposed to FA and reduced FA levels in nematodes, demonstrating a good FA detoxification effect. Furthermore, in an AD model of nematodes, these derivatives also delayed the progression of paralysis, improved cognitive dysfunction, and reduced Aβ expression and accumulation, exhibiting significant neuroprotective effects.
