All the contents of the aforementioned prior applications are applied to this invention by reference.

[0002] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceuticals, and more specifically to the use of tetrahydronaphthylidine derivatives in the preparation of drugs for preventing and treating adhesion-related diseases. [Background technology]

[0003] Adhesions are a result of tissue damage, and their causes include sharp instruments, mechanical or thermal injury, infection, radiation, ischemia, dehydration, abrasion, foreign body reactions, and tumors. Regardless of the trigger, adhesions are formed by the interaction of three intertwined processes in the body: the fibrinolytic system, extracellular matrix deposition and remodeling, and the inflammatory system. When the gastrointestinal tract suffers biological, physical, or chemical damage, an acute inflammatory response occurs. Tissue ischemia, tissue factor and cytokines, increased vascular permeability, and the release of inflammatory factors cause intestinal and intraperitoneal adhesions. Simultaneously, a large amount of exudate containing fibrinogen and fibrin can deposit, coagulate, and form a fibrous network that concentrates on the surface of the irritated tissue organ and adheres to the surrounding tissue. Under normal circumstances, peritoneal mesothelial cell exudate releases fibrinogen and has a fibrinolytic effect, dissolving and absorbing the cellulose network and reducing adhesion formation. The balance between fibrin deposition and degradation plays a crucial role in normal repair, healing, or adhesion formation, and key factors that cause an imbalance between these two are the degree of local injury and inflammatory response.

[0004] Postoperative adhesions (e.g., intestinal or peritoneal adhesions) can lead to infertility, pain, or ileus, and can increase the difficulty of subsequent abdominal or pelvic surgery. All surgeons must be familiar with the risks and consequences of postoperative adhesions and employ measures to minimize their occurrence as much as possible. Theoretically, adhesion formation can be reduced by decreasing peritoneal damage during surgery, preventing the introduction of reactive foreign bodies, reducing local inflammatory responses, inhibiting coagulation cascades, promoting fibrinolysis, or creating barriers between damaged tissues. However, studies show that regardless of the surgical method chosen, surgeries such as uterine myomectomy typically result in adhesions. The incidence of adhesions after open myomectomy was greater than 90%, but even after laparoscopic myomectomy, the incidence was at least 70%. Using bioabsorbable adhesion-preventing membranes to physically isolate the surgical site from nearby peritoneum or adjacent organs to prevent mutual adhesion is considered one viable approach. The FDA has approved various adhesion prevention membrane products, including membranes made of hyaluronic acid and carboxymethylcellulose (Seprafilm). Clinical studies have shown that patients in a test group who received absorbable medical membranes on wound sites after abdominal surgery had significantly shorter postoperative bowel sound recovery times and expulsion times than patients in a control group who did not receive postoperative intervention. These membranes also exhibited superior postoperative signs and good biocompatibility and safety. These bioabsorbable membranes effectively prevent postoperative adhesions, reduce the risk of secondary surgery, and significantly improve compliance. However, the action of bioabsorbable membranes is limited to the implantation site, requiring surgeons to identify areas prone to adhesion. Adhesion formation may occur slightly away from the surgical site, and the implantation procedure for adhesion prevention membranes is difficult, making their use in laparoscopic surgery challenging.

[0005] Currently, there are many studies evaluating the effectiveness of drugs including recombinant tPA, streptokinase, heparin, low molecular weight heparin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, phosphatidylcholine, vitamin E antioxidant molecules, and corticosteroids in preventing adhesions. These drugs were originally developed to treat conditions other than postoperative adhesions, and the mechanism of adhesion prevention is unclear, and their effects need further investigation. Recent studies have shown that intestinal wounds (incisions, surgical procedures, and hypoperfusion) lead to the disruption of the intestinal mucosal barrier, after which peptic proteases are introduced into the intestinal tissue and visceral lumen. These proteases cause protein hydrolysis damage to the mesothelial surface of the viscera, leading to adhesion formation during the healing of damaged tissue as part of the biological repair process. In long-term research, the inventors have found that certain tetrahydronaphthirizine derivatives, acting as broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitors, can neutralize the activity of digestive proteases excessively released due to damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier during surgery, thereby reducing damage to gastrointestinal tissue, accelerating the recovery of gastrointestinal function, and thus preventing postoperative intestinal adhesions. [Overview of the Initiative]

[0006] One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide the use of tetrahydronaphthirizine derivatives in the preparation of drugs for preventing and treating gastrointestinal injury-related diseases.

[0008] In one specific embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is a hydrochloride salt of a tetrahydronaphthiridine derivative.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, the gastrointestinal injury-related disease refers to adhesions, and in particular includes various adhesions resulting from postoperative abdominal gastrointestinal injury, infection, etc., such as postoperative intestinal adhesions, abdominal adhesions, intercostal adhesions, peritoneal adhesions, uterine adhesions, etc.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, gastrointestinal injury-related disorders may further include complications resulting from postoperative adhesions, such as one or more of female infertility, postoperative ileus, and pain.

[0011] The present invention further provides the use of tetrahydronaphthirizine derivatives in the preparation of drugs that inhibit gastrointestinal protein kinases.

[0012] In one specific embodiment, the gastrointestinal protein kinase is at least one selected from trypsin, MMP9, and TACE.

[0013] In the present invention, "prevention and treatment" means "prevention" and / or "treatment," where "prevention" means avoiding, mitigating, or reducing the risk of the occurrence and development of a disease, and "treatment" means eliminating, blocking, mitigating, attenuating, limiting, suppressing, or inhibiting the symptoms of a disease or the onset, progression, or development of the symptoms of a disease through artificial intervention. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] In this invention, through research, we have discovered that the tetrahydronaphthirizine derivative has a good effect in preventing and treating gastrointestinal injury-related diseases, and can be used in the preparation of drugs that prevent and treat gastrointestinal injury or drugs that inhibit gastrointestinal protein kinases. In particular, we have found that it has a good preventive and therapeutic effect against symptoms and complications of gastrointestinal adhesions, abdominal adhesions, intercostal adhesions, peritoneal adhesions, uterine adhesions, etc. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

After preparation, store at 2-8°C and use within one week.

[0056] 3.4 Preparation of intragastric solution: A fixed amount of the test substance was weighed, and an appropriate amount of sterile ultrapure water was added to prepare a 20% (w / v) mother liquor. An equivalent amount of NaOH was added to adjust the pH to neutral, and the substance was found to be completely dissolved (pH value measured).

[0058] 3.6 Molding: An abdominal adhesion model was created using the filing method. Animals were fasted preoperatively but not watered (>12h). Under inhalation anesthesia, the abdomen was locally dehaired and disinfected with iodine solution. A 3cm incision was made in the midline region of the abdomen of the experimental animals using a scalpel, the cecum was removed, and the serosal layer was repeatedly rubbed with a file on the right side of the ileocecal region until a pinpoint hemorrhage appeared on the surface, creating a wound surface of approximately 0.5cm × 0.5cm. This was returned to the abdominal cavity, and after lavage and administration were completed, the abdominal cavity was closed by suturing one layer at a time with surgical sutures. Three animals from each group were crossed over. A sham surgery control group was set up with only abdominal surgery and no cecal damage.

[0059] 3.7 Administration: A single oral intragastric dose of 12 mL / kg was administered 2 hours before laparotomy. After cecal injury, a single intraperitoneal lavage was performed with 2 mL / animal before abdominal suturing. [Table 9]

The positive drug is tranexamic acid (TXA).

[0064] Solvent: 68.56 g of compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution powder from one bag was taken and dissolved in 1 L of pure water. Then, 44 g of glucose (hydrated) was added so that the glucose content of the solvent became 4% (w / v). After preparation, the solution was stored at 2-8°C and used within one week.

[0065] Solutions for intragastric administration of test substance: A fixed amount of test substance 1 was weighed, and 64 mM and 21 mM solutions were prepared by adding an electrolyte solution. An appropriate amount of NaOH was added to adjust the pH to approximately 7.5, and the mixture was allowed to stand. No precipitation was observed. A fixed amount of test substance 2 was weighed, and a 64 mM clear solution was prepared. An appropriate amount of NaOH was added to adjust the pH to neutral.

[0066] 4.3 Grouping and Administration Two hours before laparotomy, a single oral intragastric dose of 12 mL / kg was administered to both the sham surgery group and the model group. [Table 11]

[0067] 4.4 Molding Before surgery, the animals were fasted but not deprived of water (>12 hours). Under inhalation anesthesia, the abdomen was locally depilated and disinfected with iodine solution. A 3 cm incision was made in the midline region of the abdomen of the experimental animals using a scalpel, the cecum was removed, and the serosal layer on both sides of the ileocecal region was repeatedly rubbed with sterile gauze until pinpoint hemorrhages appeared on the surface to form damaged wounds on the inside and outside of the cecum. The cecum was then returned to the abdominal cavity, and the abdominal cavity was closed by suturing each layer with surgical sutures, disinfecting the area. Sterility was maintained throughout the entire surgical procedure. Four animals from each group were crossed over. The sham surgery group only underwent laparotomy and did not damage the cecum.

[0068] 4.5 Adhesion score Anatomical observations were performed during the 7th postoperative period, and the status of postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions was scored using the Phillips classification criteria. The results are shown in the table below. [Table 12]

[0069] 4.6 Results On the 7th postoperative day, surviving animals from each group were dissected, and the condition of intestinal adhesions was scored using the Phillips classification method. As shown in Figure 4, no abdominal-cecal adhesions were observed in the sham surgery group; in the model rats, large-area intestinal adhesions were observed in multiple locations 7 days after cecal friction molding; compared to the model group, one animal in each tranexamic acid group died postoperatively, the degree of intra-abdominal adhesions was clearly reduced in the 64mM group, and tended to be reduced in the 21mM group; in rats administered with 64mM test substance 1, the site and degree of intra-abdominal adhesions were significantly reduced; in rats administered with 21mM test substance 1, the site and degree of adhesions were reduced; and in rats administered with 64mM test substance 2, the site and degree of intra-abdominal adhesions improved to some extent.
