Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology and relates to the use of atetomodil or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and treatment of interstitial lung disease and related lung injury. Background Technology
[0002] Interstitial lung disease (ILD), also known as diffuse parenchymal lung disease, is a group of chronic respiratory diseases with complex etiologies and highly heterogeneous pathological manifestations. These diseases primarily affect the lung interstitium, alveolar epithelial cells, pulmonary capillary endothelium, and alveolar spaces, gradually leading to structural destruction of lung tissue and irreversible damage to gas exchange function.
[0003] Interstitial lung diseases include connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease, occupational / environmental exposure-induced pulmonary fibrosis, drug-induced lung injury, and allergic pneumonia. Common clinical features of these diseases include progressively worsening exertional dyspnea and dry cough. Pulmonary function tests often show restrictive ventilatory dysfunction with reduced diffusion capacity. High-resolution chest CT scans reveal diffuse ground-glass opacities, reticular formation, and honeycomb-like interstitial changes in both lungs. Patients experience impaired long-term quality of life, and progressive cases have a high mortality rate.
[0004] Among them, progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD) is a clinical phenotype of ILD with extremely poor prognosis. It is not limited by the underlying cause and is characterized by the continuous progression of pulmonary fibrosis on chest imaging and the progressive deterioration of lung function. Patients experience progressive worsening of dyspnea symptoms and a significantly shortened survival period, making it a key focus and challenge in the current clinical diagnosis and treatment of ILD.
[0005] Current clinical treatment for ILD primarily focuses on anti-inflammatory and non-specific anti-fibrotic therapies. While these can slow disease progression in some patients to a certain extent, they are insufficient to completely halt the disease progression in most cases and cannot reverse existing irreversible lung tissue damage. Therefore, developing more medication strategies that can reverse existing irreversible lung tissue damage and effectively halt the progression of ILD is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide the use of atemotoxin or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt in the preparation of medicaments for the prevention and treatment of interstitial lung disease and related lung injury.

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention will be further illustrated below through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way.
[0050] The iotomod used in the following experimental examples is from Beijing Zhaoyan New Drug Research Center Co., Ltd., product model SNT20140425. The drug dosage in all experimental examples is based on the actual effective dose of iotomod in the product.
[0051] Experimental Example 1
[0052] Pharmacodynamic studies of atormode in animal models of lipopolysaccharide-induced interstitial lung disease
[0053] (1) Experimental animals: SPF grade C57BL / 6 mice (6-8 weeks old, weight 20g±2g) were selected and fed with ordinary feed for 7 days in an animal room (room temperature: 24±1℃, humidity: 50±10%, 12-hour light-dark cycle) (free access to food and water).
[0054] (2) Animal grouping: Mice were randomly divided into 7 groups according to their body weight: sham operation group, lipopolysaccharide group (LPS), lipopolysaccharide + prednisolone acetate group (LPS + 5 mg / kg PA), lipopolysaccharide + mycophenolate mofetil group (LPS + 33.3 mg / kg MMF), lipopolysaccharide + iotomod low-dose group (LPS + 0.3 mg / kg iotomod), lipopolysaccharide + iotomod medium-dose group (LPS + 0.6 mg / kg iotomod), and lipopolysaccharide + iotomod high-dose group (LPS + 1.2 mg / kg iotomod), with 10 animals in each group.
[0055] (3) Modeling and administration: Except for the sham-operated group, a lipopolysaccharide-induced interstitial lung disease animal model was established by intratracheal infusion of lipopolysaccharide (5 mg / kg) into mice for 5 consecutive days. The administration was carried out in the above manner starting on the first day of modeling, with the sham-operated group and the lipopolysaccharide group given an equal volume of solvent control (0.5% CMC-Na).
[0056] (4) Indicator detection: The experiment ended on day 15. The pharmacodynamic evaluation of lung inflammation and fibrosis was carried out using lung weight index (lung weight / body weight × 1000), lung function, HE and Masson staining results.
[0057] (4.1) The lung index statistics of each group of mice are as follows: Figure 1 As shown (compared to the sham surgery group), This represents p < 0.001; compared with the lipopolysaccharide group, This means p < 0.001. This means p < 0.01. (p < 0.05). As shown in the figure, all three dose groups of atemotomid significantly reduced the lung index of the model animals. The 0.6 mg / kg atemotomid group showed the best effect, almost approaching the level of the sham-operated group, and was superior to the positive control drugs mycophenolate mofetil and prednisolone acetate.
[0058] (4.2) The statistical results of various lung function indicators of mice in each group are as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, atemotoxin at a dose of 0.6 mg / kg can increase tidal volume and minute ventilation and reduce respiratory interval in mice.
[0059] (4.3) HE staining images and inflammation scores of lung tissue from each group of mice are shown below. Figure 3 As shown (compared to the sham surgery group), This represents p < 0.001; compared with the lipopolysaccharide group, (Representing p < 0.001), as shown in the figure, etanercept can significantly reduce inflammatory damage in the lungs of model animals.
[0060] (4.4) Masson staining images and inflammation scores of lung tissue from each group of mice are shown below. Figure 4 As shown (compared to the sham surgery group), This represents p < 0.001; compared with the lipopolysaccharide group, This means p < 0.01. (Representing p < 0.001), as shown in the figure, atetomod can significantly reduce the degree of fibrosis in the lungs of model animals.
[0061] The above findings suggest that atorvastatin has a significant ameliorative effect on the treatment of lipopolysaccharide-induced interstitial lung disease.
[0062] Experimental Example 2
[0063] Pharmacodynamic study of atorvastatin in an animal model of lipopolysaccharide-induced interstitial lung disease based on prednisolone acetate.
[0064] (1) Experimental animals: SPF grade C57BL / 6 mice (6-8 weeks old, 20g±2g) were selected and fed with ordinary feed for 7 days in an animal room (room temperature: 24±1℃, humidity: 50±10%, 12-hour light-dark cycle) (free access to food and water).
[0065] (2) Animal grouping: Mice were randomly divided into 6 groups according to their body weight: sham operation group, lipopolysaccharide + prednisolone acetate group (LPS + 2.5 mg / kg PA), lipopolysaccharide + prednisolone acetate + mycophenolate mofetil group (LPS + 2.5 mg / kg PA + 50 mg / kg MMF), low-dose lipopolysaccharide + prednisolone acetate + iotomodil group (LPS + 2.5 mg / kg PA + 0.3 mg / kg iotomodil), medium-dose lipopolysaccharide + prednisolone acetate + iotomodil group (LPS + 2.5 mg / kg PA + 0.6 mg / kg iotomodil), and high-dose lipopolysaccharide + prednisolone acetate + iotomodil group (LPS + 2.5 mg / kg PA + 1.2 mg / kg iotomodil), with 10 animals in each group.
[0066] (3) Modeling and administration: Except for the sham-operated group, a lipopolysaccharide-induced interstitial lung disease animal model was established by intratracheal infusion of lipopolysaccharide (5 mg / kg) into mice for 5 consecutive days. The administration was carried out in the above manner starting on the first day of modeling, with the sham-operated group and the lipopolysaccharide group given an equal volume of solvent control (0.5% CMC-Na).
[0067] (4) Indicator detection: The experiment ended on day 15. The pharmacodynamic evaluation of lung inflammation and fibrosis was carried out using lung weight index (lung weight / body weight × 1000), lung function, HE and Masson staining results, as well as the content of C-reactive protein and salivary glycan antigen in serum.
[0068] (4.1) The lung index statistics of each group of mice are as follows: Figure 5 As shown (compared to the sham surgery group), (p < 0.05) As shown in the figure, compared with the model group treated with prednisolone acetate alone and the group treated with prednisolone acetate in combination with mycophenolate mofetil, the combination of iotomodil and prednisolone acetate at doses of 0.3 mg / kg and 0.6 mg / kg both reduced the lung index of mice to some extent.
[0069] (4.2) The statistical results of various lung function indicators of mice in each group are as follows: Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the combined administration at doses of 0.6 mg / kg and 1.2 mg / kg increased tidal volume and minute ventilation in mice, and the 1.2 mg / kg dose group significantly reduced respiratory intervals, showing better effects than mycophenolate mofetil.
[0070] (4.3) HE staining images and inflammation scores of lung tissue from each group of mice are shown below. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the improvement in lung inflammation in the 0.6 mg / kg dose group was significantly better than that of prednisolone acetate alone, and the effect was comparable to that in normal mice.
[0071] (4.4) Masson staining images and inflammation scores of lung tissue from each group of mice are shown below. Figure 8 As shown (compared to the sham surgery group), This represents p < 0.05; compared to the model group, (p < 0.05). As shown in the figure, the combined administration at doses of 0.6 mg / kg and 1.2 mg / kg significantly reduced the deposition of fibrous collagen in the lungs of mice with interstitial lung disease and alleviated pulmonary fibrosis.
[0072] (4.5) The results of C-reactive protein levels in the serum of mice in each group are as follows: Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the combined administration at doses of 0.6 mg / kg and 1.2 mg / kg reduced C-reactive protein in mouse serum.
[0073] (4.6) The results of the salivary glycan antigen levels in the serum of mice in each group are as follows: Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the combined administration at doses of 0.6 mg / kg and 1.2 mg / kg can reduce the level of salivary glycan antigen in mouse serum.
[0074] The above findings suggest that combining prednisolone acetate with atorvastatin can produce a more effective treatment for ILD.
[0075] Experimental Example 3
[0076] Pharmacodynamic studies of etanercept in animal models of radiation-induced interstitial lung disease
[0077] (1) Experimental animals: SPF grade C57BL / 6 mice (6-8 weeks old, 20g±2g) were selected and fed with ordinary feed for 7 days in an animal room (room temperature: 24±1℃, humidity: 50±10%, 12-hour light-dark cycle) (free access to food and water).
[0078] (2) Animal grouping: Mice were randomly divided into 7 groups according to their body weight: sham operation group, 75Gy irradiation group, 75Gy irradiation + prednisolone acetate group (75Gy + 5mg / kg PA), 75Gy irradiation + mycophenolate mofetil group (75Gy + 33.3mg / kg MMF), 75Gy irradiation + low dose of iotomodil group (75Gy + 0.3mg / kg iotomodil), 75Gy irradiation + medium dose of iotomodil group (75Gy + 0.6mg / kg iotomodil), and 75Gy irradiation + high dose of iotomodil group (75Gy + 1.2mg / kg iotomodil), with 10 animals in each group.
[0079] (3) Modeling and drug administration: Except for the sham-operated group, mice were anesthetized and fixed in a supine position in an irradiator, with the lower left lung exposed. A high-dose 75 Gy concentrated irradiation was performed once to establish an irradiation-induced interstitial lung disease animal model. Drug administration was started 24 h after modeling, with the sham-operated group and the irradiated group receiving an equal volume of solvent control (0.5% CMC-Na).
[0080] (4) Indicator detection: The experiment ended on day 43. The efficacy of the drug was evaluated by lung weight index (lung weight / body weight × 1000), survival rate, lung function and C-reactive protein. The number of white blood cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils and monocytes in the blood of the animals was measured by a fully automated blood cell analyzer.
[0081] (4.1) The lung index statistics of each group of mice are as follows: Figure 11 As shown in the figure, by the end of the experiment on day 43, all mice in the prednisolone acetate group had died, while only 3 animals survived in the model group, mycophenolate mofetil group, and 0.3 mg / kg iotomod group, with a survival rate of 30%. In contrast, the survival rate of the 0.6 mg / kg group reached 70%, and the survival rate of the 1.2 mg / kg group was 50%. High doses of iotomod significantly improved the survival rate of mice.
[0082] (4.2) The lung index statistics of each group of mice are as follows: Figure 12 As shown (compared to the sham surgery group), This represents p < 0.001; compared to the irradiated group, This means p < 0.01. (p < 0.001) As shown in the figure, all three doses of atemotomid significantly reduced the lung weight index of the animals, while the lung weight index of mycophenolate mofetil animals did not show a significant improvement compared to the model group.
[0083] (4.3) The statistical results of various lung function indicators of mice in each group are as follows: Figure 13 As shown in the figure, all three doses of atemotomid can enhance the respiratory rate and reduce the respiratory interval in the model animals, and have a significant improvement in lung function. The lung function indicators of the 1.2 mg / kg group are close to those of the sham-operated group.
[0084] (4.4) The blood cell test results of each group of mice are as follows: Figure 14 As shown (compared to the sham surgery group), This means p < 0.05. This represents p < 0.001; compared to the irradiated group, (p < 0.001). As shown in the figure, all three doses of atemotoxin significantly reduced monocytes, while the low and high doses significantly reduced neutrophils.
[0085] (4.5) The results of plasma C-reactive protein levels in mice in each group are as follows: Figure 15 As shown in the figure, low to medium doses of atemotoxin reduced inflammation in the model animals.
[0086] The above findings suggest that atemotome has a significant effect on the treatment of radiation-induced interstitial lung disease.
