Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical science, and more specifically, relates to the application of compounds in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Background Technology
[0002] Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are a collective term for diseases of the heart, blood vessels, and cerebral blood vessels. They are a group of diseases caused by insufficient blood supply due to blood vessel blockage, resulting in tissue damage. They include myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure, coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke, peripheral arterial vascular disease, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism, and are the leading cause of death worldwide.
[0003] Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident, is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by the sudden rupture or blockage of blood vessels in the brain, leading to brain tissue damage. It includes ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, with ischemic strokes accounting for 85% of cases. Current treatment strategies for ischemic stroke primarily focus on two aspects: first, improving cerebral blood circulation, including intravenous thrombolytic enzymes, arterial thrombectomy, and anticoagulation; and second, using neuroprotective agents such as edaravone (ED) and butylphthalide (NBP) to protect nerve tissue by scavenging free radicals and preventing oxidative damage. Despite these current treatment strategies, the mortality rate of ischemic stroke remains high, necessitating better treatment options. Only by rapidly restoring blood supply to the ischemic area can the neurological deficit after ischemia be minimized. While thrombolytic therapy can quickly restore blood supply to the ischemic area, its narrow time window and numerous contraindications significantly limit its clinical application. Therefore, promoting the establishment of collateral circulation and angiogenesis is crucial for the recovery of neurological function. Early collateral circulation in ischemic stroke depends on the opening of the original vascular network, which varies from person to person and is difficult to intervene in. Later collateral circulation establishment depends on angiogenesis. Angiogenesis helps blood flow bypass the blocked segment to reach brain tissue, improving blood perfusion in the ischemic area and reducing infarct volume. It also promotes neuronal remodeling and functional recovery. Therefore, we develop novel compounds based on mechanisms that promote angiogenesis. In addition, the ability of drug molecules to cross the blood-brain barrier is also a crucial factor in alleviating cerebrovascular lesions in cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, developing drug molecules that can more easily cross the blood-brain barrier is a common aspiration in this field.
[0004] Ischemic myocardial infarction (MI) refers to acute, severe, and persistent ischemic necrosis of the myocardium in the affected area due to a sudden reduction or interruption of coronary blood supply. It is one of the most common causes of heart failure (HF). After a myocardial infarction, the heart undergoes a series of compensatory and pathological remodelings, including myocardial fibrosis, inflammatory responses, and ventricular dilation. These pathological changes are the core mechanisms in the development and progression of heart failure. Although modern medical treatments have significantly reduced the acute mortality rate of myocardial infarction, the incidence of post-infarction heart failure remains high, with approximately 20% of patients progressing to heart failure within five years. This high incidence, along with the complex course, high recurrence rate, and severe impact on patients' quality of life of heart failure itself, constitutes a significant socioeconomic and public health burden.
[0005] Currently, drug treatment for ischemic myocardial infarction and its resulting heart failure mainly includes antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs, beta-blockers, and aldosterone inhibitors. These drugs can reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, delay ventricular remodeling, and improve long-term prognosis to some extent, but their main effects are still focused on symptom control and long-term prognosis improvement, with limited effects on repairing existing myocardial damage and microcirculatory disorders.
[0006] Against this backdrop, promoting angiogenesis and alleviating ischemic damage have become important directions in treatment. The core pathological process after myocardial infarction is irreversible necrosis of cardiomyocytes caused by ischemia and the resulting ventricular remodeling. By promoting angiogenesis, local blood perfusion in the ischemic area can be enhanced, microcirculatory disturbances can be improved, and thus the necessary oxygen and nutrient support can be provided to cardiomyocytes. In addition, the formation of new blood vessels not only directly improves blood supply, but also creates a more suitable microenvironment for myocardial repair, which helps promote the survival and functional recovery of cardiomyocytes. Therefore, treatment strategies targeting angiogenesis and the mechanisms of ischemic damage relief not only have the potential to overcome the limitations of existing drug therapies, but also provide new possible avenues for improving the overall treatment outcomes of ischemic myocardial infarction and heart failure.

[0165] The definition of "treatment" as described here is the same as that mentioned above.
[0166] 3. Beneficial effects Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) Existing positive drugs mostly prevent or treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as ischemic stroke by inhibiting nerve cell death through neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. This invention discovers a new compound within the general formula range of Formula I, especially Formula II-a, Formula II-b, Formula II-c and Formula II-d. Cell experiments show that it has neuroprotective effects, as well as promoting angiogenesis and protecting against ischemic-like damage. The anti-ischemic damage and the promotion of angiogenesis work synergistically to achieve the purpose of preventing or treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as ischemic stroke.
[0167] (2) Animal experiments further demonstrate that, in a mouse tMCAO stroke model, the application of compound II-b of this invention can significantly reduce the percentage of cerebral infarction volume in mice with cerebral ischemia; compound II-b provides an effective solution for the prevention and treatment of stroke. In a rat pMCAO ischemic stroke model, compound II-b of this invention can significantly reduce the cerebral infarction volume in rats.
[0168] (3) Animal experiments have further shown that the application of compound II-b of the present invention can significantly improve myocardial function in mouse models of ischemic myocardial infarction and its induced chronic heart failure. Compound II-b provides an effective solution for the prevention and treatment of ischemic myocardial infarction and its induced chronic heart failure.
[0169] (4) Flavonoids such as apigenin not only promote angiogenesis, but also have a better protective effect against OGD / R-induced damage than stroke drugs. However, because apigenin has difficulty crossing the blood-brain barrier, its brain / blood distribution coefficient is small. In contrast, compounds such as those shown in Formula II-b have a stronger ability to cross the blood-brain barrier than apigenin and existing positive drugs (such as butylphthalide), making them ideal drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially stroke.
[0170] (5) Cell experiments in the embodiments of the present invention show that, in the OGD / R injury model, the compound shown in Formula II-c has the same protective effect on vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) and the effect of alleviating damage caused by oxygen and glucose deprivation as the compound shown in Formula II-b.
[0171] (6) Cell experiments in the embodiments of the present invention show that, in the OGD / R injury model, the compound shown in Formula II-d has the same effect as the compound shown in Formula II-b in promoting epithelial cell proliferation, protecting vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC), protecting myoblasts (H9c2), and alleviating damage caused by oxygen and glucose deprivation.
[0172] (6) Based on the effects of compounds within the general formula range of Formula I, especially those shown in Formula II-a, Formula II-b, Formula II-c and Formula II-d, on promoting angiogenesis and protecting against ischemic-like injury, the compounds shown in Formula I and pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds shown in Formula I, especially those containing the compounds shown in Formula II-a, Formula II-b, Formula II-c and Formula II-d, are beneficial in improving collateral circulation, restoring blood oxygen supply, achieving blood supply, and thus inhibiting heart and brain injury, providing a synergistic prevention and / or treatment solution for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially chronic heart failure, myocardial infarction and stroke.

[0254] Example 3 Specific experimental methods Vascular endothelial cell proliferation experiment HUVEC or HBMEC cells were seeded at 3000 cells / well in 96-well plates and cultured for 24 h. Subsequently, the culture medium was replaced with Ham's F-12K containing 0.2% FBS + 50 ng / mL heparin sodium for 6 h of starvation. After 6 h, the test compound was added and the cells were cultured for another 48 h. After 48 h, cell proliferation was assessed using the CTG method (Cell Titer-Glo Luminescent Assay, DD1101-02, Novizan).
[0255] OGD / R (Oxygen-glucose deprivation / reperfusion) induced vascular endothelial cell injury experiment HUVEC cells were seeded at a rate of 4000 cells / well in 96-well plates and cultured normally for 24 h. After 24 h, the culture medium was replaced with sugar-free DMEM (11966025, Gibco) containing the test compound, and the plates were placed in an anaerobic incubator. After 4 h, the culture medium was replaced with normal culture medium containing the test compound, and the plates were placed in a normal incubator for another 24 h. Cell viability was assessed using the CTG method.
[0256] Alternatively, H9c2 cells were seeded at 4000 cells / well in 96-well plates and cultured normally for 24 h. After 24 h, the culture medium was replaced with sugar-free DMEM (11966025, Gibco) containing the test compound, and the plates were placed in an anaerobic incubator. After 12 h, the culture medium was replaced with normal culture medium containing the test compound, and the plates were placed in a normal incubator for another 12 h. Cell viability was then assessed using the CTG method.
[0257] Tubular structure formation experiment The culture medium for HUVEC cells was changed to Ham's F-12 K medium containing 1% FBS + 50 ng / mL heparin sodium, and the cells were starved for 3 h.
[0258] Adhesive application: Apply Matrigel (354230, Corning) at 50 μL per well of the 96-well plate and let it stand at 37 ℃ for 30 min to allow the adhesive to solidify.
[0259] Preparation of the test compound: Prepare the test compound at a 10-fold concentration, adding 11 μL of 10× test compound to each well.
[0260] After digesting and starving HUVEC cells, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, resuspend in Ham's F-12 K medium containing 1% FBS and 50 ng / mL heparin sodium, and count the cells.
[0261] Seed cells at a density of 10,000 cells / well, with 100 μL of cell suspension per well, and incubate at 37 °C for 6 h.
[0262] Six hours later, Calcein AM (C2012, Beyotime) was added for staining, and the images were taken with an Olympus IX73 microscope (4× objective).
[0263] Neural stem cell proliferation experiment First, 3500 cells / well were seeded into 96-well plates. The following day, the test compound was added for treatment. After 48 h of treatment, the degree of cell proliferation was detected using the CTG method.
[0264] Neural synapse growth SHSY-5Y neural cells were seeded at 50,000 cells / well in 10% FBS MEM / F12 medium in 24-well plates and cultured for 24 hours. The following day, the cells were treated with the test compound in 1% FBS MEM / F12 medium. After 24 hours of compound treatment, cell morphology was observed under an inverted microscope, and images were taken at random from 10 fields of view per well. To determine neurite growth, the lengths of the five longest neurites in each well were calculated using ImageJ plugins, and the average neurite length was statistically analyzed from data obtained from at least three independent replicate experiments.
[0265] Preparation of a mouse model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion and transient middle cerebral artery embolism (tMCAO) After modeling, C57BL / 6J mice were randomly divided into four groups: the Veh group (solvent 5% NMP + 50% PEG400 + 45% PG), the EW238 group (2.0 mg / kg, 6.0 mg / kg), and the NBP (positive control drug, butylphthalide) group (6.0 mg / kg). Administration was via tail vein injection, once daily for three consecutive days. Brain samples were then harvested for TTC staining.
[0266] Establishment of a mouse model of transient middle cerebral artery embolism (tMCAO model): (1) Before the tMCAO surgery, the mice were fasted for 12 h but allowed to drink water. Then they were anesthetized by inhalation of isoflurane (4% for induction, 2% for maintenance), fixed in a supine position, and a midline incision was made in the neck to expose the right common carotid artery (CCA), external carotid artery (ECA) and internal carotid artery (ICA).
[0267] (2) Ligate the proximal ends of the ECA and CCA with sutures, and use sutures to keep the distal end of the CCA ready. Temporarily clamp the ICA with a miniature arterial clamp.
[0268] (3) Make a small incision 3 mm from the bifurcation of the ECA, insert a 2 mm silicone-coated suture plug through the incision, and gently push the suture plug (Huayang, 14-3003). Open the arterial clamp on the ICA and allow the suture plug to enter the middle cerebral artery (MCA) along the ICA. Secure the suture plug with a spare suture. The distance from the bifurcation of the CCA to the point of resistance (the origin of the middle cerebral artery) is approximately 8 mm.
[0269] (4) Use the spare suture at the distal end of the CCA to tie and fix the suture plug and the CCA, and then suture.
[0270] (5) During reperfusion, mice were anesthetized with isoflurane (4% for induction, 2% for maintenance), the cervical suture incision was opened, the suture plug was gradually pulled out until it was completely removed from the ECA, the ECA stump was electrocoagulated with an electrocoagulator, the cervical incision was sutured again, and povidone-iodine was applied for disinfection. After the operation, the animals were kept at body temperature by irradiating with a heater for 4 hours, and were kept in individual cages for 24 hours without food but without water.
[0271] Intravenous administration began 2 hours after modeling, once daily for 3 days. On the 4th day, the brain was harvested for TTC staining.
[0272] Measurement of cerebral infarction area The intact brain tissue was frozen at -20 °C for 20 min, and coronal slices were cut from the forebrain into 6 slices, each slice being 2 mm thick.
[0273] Brain slices were placed in six-well plates containing 0.2% TTC solution (prepared with physiological saline) and incubated at 37 °C in the dark for 15 min. The plates were then removed, and the brain slices were gently turned over with forceps to ensure even contact with the staining solution. After 15 min, the TTC staining solution was aspirated, and the brain slices were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde solution. Images were taken after 30 min, and the images were analyzed using Image Pro Plus image analysis software to determine the area of cerebral infarction. Normal brain tissue areas were shown in red, while infarcted and surrounding areas were shown in white. Raw data required included the area of the healthy hemisphere, the area of normal tissue in the affected hemisphere, and the infarct area for each brain slice. The percentage of cerebral infarction area (%) = infarct area / total brain tissue area.
[0274] Preparation of mouse models of ischemic myocardial infarction and its induced heart failure A model of ischemic myocardial infarction and its induced heart failure was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Two groups were established: a model group (Veh) and an EW238 group. EW238 was administered to mice half an hour before surgery. After administration, the behavioral signs and survival status of mice in each group were recorded daily for 4 weeks. The administration was intraperitoneal injection, 2 mg / kg / time, twice daily, using 0.5% DMSO + 8% PEG400 + 8% β-cyclodextrin as the solvent. Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and left ventricular shortaxis shortening rate (FS) were continuously observed using echocardiography to evaluate the protective effect of EW238 on the mouse model.
[0275] To evaluate cardiac contractile function in mice and the effect of EW238, the survival rate of mice was recorded at 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after surgery. Echocardiography was performed on mice in each group on the 3rd day after surgery.
[0276] Blood brain concentration test method Pharmacokinetic Experiment Experimental animals: C57BL / 6J mice, male, purchased from Shanghai Lingchang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Administration: 2-3 male C57BL / 6J mice were administered intravenously after fasting overnight. The dosage of apigenin was 6 mg / kg and EW238 was 10 mg / kg, respectively, using 5% NMP + 50% PEG400 + 45% PG as a solvent. The administration volume was 2 mL / kg. Sample collection Blood collection: Blood was collected from the inferior vena cava or heart of each animal (approximately 0.1 mL at each time point). The collected blood was placed in pre-cooled EDTA-K2 tubes and kept on ice until centrifugation.
[0277] Plasma preparation: Blood samples were centrifuged at approximately 4°C and 3,200 g for 10 minutes to prepare plasma. Plasma was collected separately and transferred to pre-labeled 96-well plates or polypropylene tubes, rapidly frozen with dry ice, and stored at -60°C or below until LC-MS / MS analysis.
[0278] Brain tissue collection: After perfusion with physiological saline, the brain was rinsed with physiological saline and placed on soft absorbent paper to drain any remaining fluid. The brain was then weighed and transferred to pre-labeled test tubes, and homogenized under ice-cold conditions with PBS*1 at a ratio of 1:3 (1 gram of tissue to 3 ml of buffer). After final homogenization, all homogenates were stored at approximately -80°C until LC-MS / MS analysis.
[0279] Sample processing and testing: 1) Add 20uL of plasma sample to 400uL of acetonitrile or methanol containing internal standard (100ng / mL) for precipitation, then vortex mix at 800 rpm for 10 minutes, and centrifuge at 4°C and 3220×g for 15 minutes. 2) Add 400 μL of acetonitrile or methanol containing internal standard (100 ng / mL) to 40 μL of brain homogenate sample for precipitation, then vortex mix at 800 rpm for 10 minutes, and centrifuge at 4°C and 3220×g for 15 minutes. 3) Take 50 µL of the supernatant solution after treatment 1) or 2) and transfer it to a clean 96-well plate. Centrifuge at 4°C and 3220×g for 5 minutes. Then inject the supernatant directly for LC-MS / MS analysis. Analysis and detection were performed using an LC-MS / MS-DS_TQ7500 or LC-MS / MS_CT_Triple Quad 6500 plus instrument.
[0280] Statistical analysis All data are expressed as mean ± SEM. All charts were created using GraphPad Prism 8.4.0. Left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fractional shortening were analyzed using t-tests; animal survival rates were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier tests; other data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA combined with Turkey post-hoc tests. P A value <0.05 is considered statistically significant.

[0297] Figure 17In the tMCAO model, the blank control group (Veh), EW238 treatment group (2 mg / kg, 6 mg / kg), and NBP treatment group (6 mg / kg) were administered intravenously once daily for 3 consecutive days. The resulting graphs and statistical diagrams show the representative and statistical areas of cerebral infarction. Figure 17 ).Depend on Figure 17 It can be seen that, compared with the Veh group, EW238 can significantly reduce the infarct area in the ischemic zone. At 6 mg / kg, EW238 showed better reduction of infarct area than butylphthalide (NBP) compared with the NBP group.

[0300] like Figure 19 As shown, the survival rate of the Veh group decreased significantly in the early stage of myocardial ischemia, with a survival rate of only 16.67% on day 6, while EW238 could significantly prolong the survival time of mice, with a survival rate of 100% as of Day 21.
[0301] In addition, the mice were carefully observed in the experiment. It was found that the mice in the Veh group had dark fur, consumed less food and water, and had relatively less activity. The mice also experienced difficulty breathing. However, after treatment with EW238, the mice showed a significant increase in activity, had neat and shiny fur, did not experience difficulty breathing, and remained aggressive at night.

[0314] Example 4 Preparation of EW254
[0315] This invention synthesizes the target compound through the above steps: , EW254.
[0316] The specific steps for preparing the compound are as follows: 1. Synthesis of M1
[0317] SM (60.74 g, 352 mmol, 1.0 eq.) was added to a 2 L three-necked round-bottom flask, followed by 880 mL of bottled acetone. The mixture was purged with argon three times. Potassium carbonate (345.81 g, 2.47 mol, 7.0 eq.) was added at room temperature, followed by cooling to 0 °C and dropwise addition of dimethyl sulfate (200 mL, 2.12 mol, 6.0 eq.) (the system became a grayish-white suspension). After the reaction was complete, the mixture was refluxed in an oil bath at 65 °C for 5 h (the system became a grayish-white suspension). The reaction endpoint was determined by TLC (20% EA / PE; Rf=0.3). After the starting material was confirmed to have disappeared, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, filtered through a diatomaceous earth layer, and the solid was washed with EA (3 × 200 mL). The filtrate was concentrated, and the crude product was dissolved in 500 mL of EA and poured into 1 L of water. The organic phase was separated, and the aqueous phase was washed again with EA. Extraction was performed using 3×300 mL of the solution, and the organic phase was dried and concentrated to obtain compound M1 (88.60 g, pale orange powder, 100% yield).
[0318] 1H NMR(500 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 6.10 (s, 1H), 3.96 (s, 1H), 3.88 (s,1H), 3.82 (s, 1H), 3.80 (s, 2H). 13 C NMR (126 MHz, CDCl3) δ 166.99, 162.56, 158.63, 105.96, 90.61, 58.57, 56.00, 55.45, 52.30. HRMS (ESI-MS): Calcd for C 11 H 14 O5[M+H] + =227.0919, found: 227.0915. 2. Synthesis of M2
[0319] M1 (10.24 g, 44.2 mmol, 1.0 eq.) was added to a 500 mL three-necked round-bottom flask and dissolved in 150 mL of dry DCM. The mixture was stirred at -78 °C under argon protection, and the reaction solution was white and turbid. Boron trichloride (58 mL, 57.5 mmol, 1.3 eq.) was added, and the reaction solution became grayish-white and turbid. The reaction was slowly brought back to room temperature for 4 h. The reaction endpoint was determined by TLC (20% EA / PE; Rf=0.8). The reaction was cooled to 0 °C, and 30 mL of methanol was slowly added to quench the reaction. The reaction was directly evaporated to dryness, dissolved in 100 mL of DCM, and 200 mL of water was added. The organic phase was separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted again with DCM (2×100 mL). The organic phases were combined and washed with 200 mL of saturated NaCl.

[0350] Solvent: HS-15 is solid at room temperature and needs to be melted in a 45°C water bath (5 min) beforehand. Sequentially pipette 2% DMSO + 7% HS-15 + 7% PEG400 + 84% physiological saline into 50 mL centrifuge tubes and vortex to mix.
[0351] 3. Experimental Design (1) Adaptation phase: Animals adapt to the experimental environment for 7 days; animal weight is recorded before the experiment and they are randomly divided into 6 groups.
[0352] (2) Pre-experiment preparation stage: Disinfect surgical instruments and experimental environment 2 days before the experiment; (3) pMCAO modeling method: Skin preparation: On the day of the experiment, rats were anesthetized with acetaminophen (3 mL / kg). After anesthesia, the neck was prepared by opening the neck tissue layer by layer to expose and free the common carotid artery and experimental blood vessels. A suture is applied proximally to the external carotid artery (ECA), and two ligations are made distally, 2-5 mm apart. The vessel is then cut between the two distal ligation points. A slipknot is applied proximally to the common carotid artery (CCA). The ECA is pulled downwards until it is nearly parallel to the CCA. Blood flow is blocked distally to the internal carotid artery (ICA) using a microscopic hemostatic clip. A small incision is made before the ECA ligation point, and a silicone-tipped suture plug (product model: 2634A5, head diameter 0.34±0.02mm, purchased from Beijing Xinong Technology Co., Ltd.) is inserted along the CCA to the microscopic hemostatic clip. The hemostatic clip is then opened, and the suture is slowly inserted upwards along the ICA.
[0353] Slowly insert the suture until the suture mark reaches the intersection of ECA and CCA, then stop inserting the suture and ligate the ECA at the upper end of the ligation site. Cut off any excess suture. At the same time, loosen the carotid artery live knot and suture directly. Then place the mouse on a warming pad.
[0354] (4) Administration of the test substance: Groups 1 to 4: The first dose was administered 2 hours after ischemia, followed by a second dose 6 hours later (Day 0). Subsequently, the dose was administered daily at 8-hour intervals in a BID pattern for a total of 7 consecutive days, with the last dose on Day 6.
[0355] 4. Sampling at the endpoint TTC staining for cerebral infarction: a) Cardiac perfusion for brain harvesting: The rat's thoracic cavity was fully opened to expose the heart. Surrounding fatty tissue was cleared using ophthalmic and dissecting forceps to expose the aorta. An injection needle was inserted into the left ventricle near the apex. Upon successful insertion, blood return was observed with each heartbeat. The auricle was opened, and pre-cooled saline was infused using a peristaltic pump at a rate of approximately 20 mL / min for a total of 7 minutes. Continuous blood flow from the right atrium and gradual blood loss from the liver were observed.
[0356] b) Brain harvesting: Open the skull, observe the internal carotid artery at the suture insertion site for bleeding, and take photographs for documentation. Animals with brain hemorrhage should be removed from the group.
[0357] c) Staining: The brain was placed in a -80°C freezer for about 3 minutes. Using a rat brain mold and a scalpel, 6 coronal sections were cut from the olfactory bulb to the back, with a thickness of about 2 mm. The sections were collected in cryovials and thoroughly mixed with 2% TTC staining solution. The sections were then stained in a 37°C water bath for about 10 minutes. After staining, the brain sections were removed and photographed.
[0358] d) Infarct Area Analysis: ImageJ software was used to calculate the infarct area, providing images of the infarcted tissue region. The raw data should include the area of the healthy hemisphere, the area of normal tissue in the affected hemisphere, and the infarct area for each brain tissue segment. Infarct area percentage (%) = infarcted area / total brain tissue area.
[0359] 5. Experimental Data Processing All raw data were entered into Excel and statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 10.2. The results are expressed as Mean ± SEM and statistical differences between groups were analyzed using one-way ANOVA.
[0360] 6. Inspection Results like Figure 23 The figure shows the effect of EW238 (Formula II-b) on a rat model of permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO model), where: Figure 23 The infarct area of rats in the model group, positive drug group (NBP, 4 mg / kg), and EW238 group (6 mg / kg) was measured as follows: A. TTC staining reflects the ameliorative effect of different drug administration groups on the infarct area of pMCAO model rats. B. Statistical analysis of infarct area in different drug administration groups. The results showed that the infarct area in the model group was significantly increased, while treatment with NBP or EW238 significantly reduced the infarct area of rats (p<0.01). Compared with the NBP group, the EW238 group showed a better trend in reducing the infarct area, which indicates that the test compound EW238 has a potential therapeutic effect in improving ischemic stroke.
