Abstract
Description
Amylin analogs and their medical uses Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a compound having dual agonist effects on human amylin receptor and human calcitonin receptor and its medical use. Background Art
[0002] Amylin is a 37-amino acid peptide secreted by pancreatic beta cells and works with insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. Amylin slows gastric emptying, delaying the entry of sugar from food into the bloodstream, thereby helping to reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes. Amylin also inhibits glucagon secretion, slowing the liver's release of glucose into the bloodstream and thus slowing the rise in blood sugar. Amylin also acts on the brain to promote satiety, thereby reducing food intake. In summary, the synergistic effect of amylin and insulin can help reduce the body's total insulin requirement and control food intake. However, diabetic patients often lack this hormone, resulting in suboptimal blood sugar control. Increasing amylin levels through drug administration may help control blood sugar levels and reduce weight in diabetic patients. However, amylin itself has a short half-life and an unstable physical structure. Under physiological conditions, it easily forms amyloid fibrils, leading to inactivation, making it unsuitable for direct pharmaceutical use. The FDA has approved the amylin analog drug Pramlintide, which greatly changes the property of amylin that easily generates amyloid fibrils by replacing the amino acids at positions 25, 28, and 29 of human amylin with proline.
[0003] However, the half-life of pramlintide is still very low, and the frequency of dosing twice to three times a day makes its compliance very poor. Novo Nordisk developed an amylin receptor and calcitonin receptor agonist, Cagrilintide, which greatly increased the half-life of amylin to about 170 hours by introducing fatty acid chains that can bind to albumin, and increased the dosing frequency to once a week. However, whether it is pramlintide or canagliflozin, they still cannot avoid the problem of molecular instability, hydrolysis and formation of amyloid fibers at physiological pH, which means that they can only be stored in acidic preparations, and are prone to adverse reactions near the injection site during clinical administration. Therefore, it is necessary to improve its stability at physiological pH to produce higher clinical value.
[0004] Amylin receptors (AMYRs) include the insulin-like peptide 1 receptor (AMY1R), the insulin-like peptide 2 receptor (AMY2R), and the insulin-like peptide 3 receptor (AMY3R), which are heterodimers of the calcitonin receptor (CTR) and three receptor activity-modifying proteins, RAMP1, RAMP2, and RAMP3, respectively. The structural characteristics of AMYRs result in insulin-like peptides activating both AMYRs and CTRs. Studies have found that compared to single AMYR agonists, dual AMYR / CTR agonists have a better effect on weight loss.
[0005] The present disclosure aims to provide a compound that exhibits dual agonist effects on the amylin receptor and the calcitonin receptor. Furthermore, compared to existing dual agonists of the amylin receptor and the calcitonin receptor, the compound of the present disclosure exhibits superior in vivo pharmacokinetic properties, improved physical and chemical stability at physiological pH, and enhanced efficacy in lowering blood sugar and reducing weight in vivo.

[1435] In some specific embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, have a reduced tendency to aggregate to form amyloid fibrils. For example, the compounds of the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, have a reduced tendency to aggregate to form amyloid fibrils relative to pramlintide or cagrilintide.
[1436] In some specific embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, have a reduced tendency to aggregate to form amyloid fibrils at physiological pH conditions. For example, the compounds of the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, have a reduced tendency to aggregate to form amyloid fibrils at physiological pH conditions relative to pramlintide or canaglitinide.
[1437] In some specific embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, maintain physical stability for 25 hours or more in a fibrillogenesis assay. For example, the compounds of the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, maintain physical stability for 30 hours, 40 hours, 50 hours, 55 hours, 60 hours, 65 hours, 70 hours, 75 hours, 80 hours, 85 hours, 90 hours, 91 hours, 92 hours, 93 hours, 94 hours, 95 hours, 96 hours or more in a fibrillogenesis assay (including any range between any of the above values).
[1438] In some embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts have improved pharmacokinetic properties. For example, the compounds of the present disclosure or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts have an extended half-life (t 1 / 2 For example, the compounds of the present disclosure or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof have a prolonged half-life (t 1 / 2 ).
[1439] In some embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, have increased chemical stability. For example, the compounds of the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, have increased chemical stability relative to Pramlintide or Cagrilintide.
[1440] As used in this disclosure, the term "chemical stability" refers to the absence of chemical covalent changes in the polypeptide structure compared to the parent (native) polypeptide structure, thereby avoiding the formation of chemical degradation products with potentially lower potency and / or potentially increased immunogenicity. Depending on the type and properties of the parent polypeptide and the environment to which the polypeptide is exposed, a variety of chemical degradation products may be formed. The elimination of chemical degradation is most likely not completely avoided, and increased amounts of chemical degradation products are often seen during the storage and use of polypeptide formulations, as is well known to those skilled in the art. The chemical stability of a polypeptide can be assessed by measuring the amount of chemical degradation products at various time points after exposure to different environmental conditions (the formation of degradation products can often be accelerated, for example, by increasing the temperature). The amount of each individual degradation product is often determined by separating the degradation products according to molecular size and / or charge using various chromatographic techniques (e.g., SEC-HPLC and / or RP-HPLC).
[1441] The present invention modifies the islet amylin, for example, by replacing the amino acid residue at position 14 with Aib, which can effectively improve the physical stability of the polypeptide, reduce the tendency to aggregate to form amyloid fibers; and effectively improve the solubility of the polypeptide under physiological pH conditions. On the other hand, by modifying the amino acid site, the agonist activity of the polypeptide is also significantly improved. For example, replacing the amino acid residue at position 14 with Aib can significantly enhance the agonist activity of AMYR and CTR. Alternatively, replacing the amino acid residue at position 14 with Ala or the amino acid residue at position 13 with Aib can significantly enhance the agonist activity of CTR.
[1442] In some embodiments, the present disclosure can significantly increase the physical and / or chemical stability of the polypeptide, increase the solubility of the polypeptide at physiological pH conditions, and reduce the tendency of the polypeptide to aggregate to form amyloid fibers by performing at least one amino acid substitution in amylin, for example, replacing position 21 with Aib, position 22 with Ala, position 23 with 3-Pal, position 31 with Asp, and / or position 35 with Glu. In some embodiments, amino acid site modification further enhances the agonist activity of the polypeptide on the receptor.
[1443] The present invention can significantly improve the pharmacokinetic properties and prolong the half-life of the polypeptide by selecting specific sites for connecting fatty acid chains in pancreatic amylin, for example, connecting to the amino acid side chain at position 18, 22, 31, 10, 11, or 3.
[1444] In some embodiments, the present disclosure obtains polypeptide analogs with significantly prolonged half-life by selecting specific sites for linking fatty acid chains in amylin, for example, linking to the amino acid side chains at positions 18, 22, and 31.

[1495] In some embodiments, the chemical synthesis method is solid phase synthesis.
[1496] Illustratively, the polypeptide compound provided by the present disclosure is synthesized by a solid-phase method, and the synthesis carrier is Rink-amide MBHA (Xi'an Lanxiao Technology) resin. The α-amino group of the amino acid derivative used in the synthesis process is protected by an Fmoc group (fluorenylcarbonyl), and the side chains of the amino acids are selected from the following protecting groups according to the different functional groups: the cysteine side chain thiol group, the glutamine side chain amino group, and the histidine side chain imidazole group are protected by Trt (trityl), the arginine side chain guanidinium group is protected by Pbf (2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyldihydrobenzofuran-5-sulfonyl), the tryptophan side chain indole group is protected by Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl), the lysine side chain amino group is protected by Boc or Mtt (4-methyltrityl), the threonine side chain hydroxyl group, the tyrosine side chain phenol group, and the serine side chain hydroxyl group are protected by t-Bu (tert-butyl), and the aspartic acid and glutamic acid side chain carboxyl groups are protected by O-tBu (tert-butyl ester), etc. During the synthesis process, the carboxyl group of the C-terminal amino acid residue of the peptide is first condensed onto the high-molecular-weight, insoluble Rink-amide MBHA resin via an amide bond. The Fmoc protecting group on the α-amino group is then removed using a 20% 4-methylpiperidine-in-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution. The solid support is then condensed with the next amino acid derivative in the sequence in excess to form an amide bond, extending the peptide chain. The condensation → wash → deprotection → wash → next amino acid condensation cycle is repeated to achieve the desired peptide chain length. Unless otherwise specified, the peptide is cleaved from the solid support by reacting with a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid: water: triisopropylsilane: mercaptoethanol (91:3:3:3, v:v:v) with the resin. The crude solid peptide compound is then precipitated with methyl tert-butyl ether.
[1497] In some embodiments, the polypeptide compounds provided herein utilize disulfide bonds to form a ring. When X2 and X7 are selected from any of the amino acid residues Cys, hCys, and Pen, the crude polypeptide is dissolved in a mixture of 50% acetic acid and water, and excess iodine is added to oxidize the sulfhydryl groups to form disulfide bonds. The excess iodine is then neutralized with ascorbic acid. After the reaction, the mixed solution is diluted with water and purified using a C-18 reverse-phase preparative chromatography column to obtain a pure polypeptide compound.
[1498] In some embodiments, the polypeptide compounds provided herein utilize a methylene sulfide bridge, a p-xylylenedisulfide bridge, an m-xylylenedisulfide bridge, or an o-xylylenedisulfide bridge to form a ring. When X2 and X7 are selected from any amino acid residues selected from Cys, hCys, and Pen, the crude polypeptide is dissolved in an ammonium bicarbonate buffer containing 50% acetonitrile at a pH of 8.5, and a cyclization reaction is carried out with the aid of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine and diiodomethane, 1,4-bis(bromomethyl)benzene, 1,3-bis(bromomethyl)benzene, 1,2-bis(bromomethyl)benzene, or the like to obtain cyclized products connected by a methylene sulfide bridge, a p-xylylenedisulfide bridge, an m-xylylenedisulfide bridge, or an o-xylylenedisulfide bridge, respectively. Finally, the purified polypeptide compound is separated and purified by a C-18 reverse-phase preparative chromatography column to obtain a pure product.
[1499] In some embodiments, the polypeptide compounds provided by the present disclosure utilize thioether bonds to form a ring. When any one of X2 and X7 is selected from the amino acid residues of Cys, hCys, and Pen and the other position is selected from the amino acid residue of Abu, X2 and X7 are connected by a thioether bridge, and the amino acid residue of Abu is generated by the reaction of hSer (TBDMS) (homoserine (tert-butyldimethylsilane). The resin peptide with hSer (TBDMS) at a specific position is treated with triphenylphosphine and trichloroacetonitrile. After treatment with the dichloromethane solution, the peptide was cleaved from the solid support by reacting with a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid: water: triisopropylsilane: anisole (91:3:3:3, volume ratio) with the resin. The crude peptide was then precipitated with methyl tert-butyl ether to yield a solid crude peptide compound. The crude peptide was dissolved in 30% acetonitrile in ammonium bicarbonate and the pH was adjusted to 8.5. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 12 hours to yield the thioether-bridged cyclized product. The pure peptide compound was then purified using a C-18 reverse-phase preparative chromatography column.
[1500] In some embodiments, the present disclosure uses a biosemisynthetic method to prepare polypeptide compounds. For example, a method similar to that disclosed in patents CN201510459093 and US9732137 for preparing semaglutide (SEQ ID NO: 4) is used. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The alkyl group may be substituted or unsubstituted. When substituted, the substituent may be substituted at any available point of attachment. The substituent is preferably one or more of the following groups independently selected from alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino, halogen, mercapto, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkoxy, heterocycloalkoxy, cycloalkylthio, heterocycloalkylthio, oxo, carboxyl or carboxylate groups. Methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl, haloalkyl, deuterated alkyl, alkoxy-substituted alkyl and hydroxy-substituted alkyl are preferred.
[1523] The term "linker" as used herein includes suitable substituents that can connect a portion, such as a chemical portion, to a polypeptide, such as a polypeptide backbone. Thus, the linker and chemical portion together constitute a substituent. The portion connected to the linker can be any suitable portion.
[1524] The term "treatment" and grammatical variations thereof (e.g., "treated," "treating," "treat") refer to an approach for obtaining a favorable or desired clinical outcome. For the purposes of this disclosure, favorable or desired clinical outcomes include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms, reduction in extent of disease, stabilization of the disease state (i.e., not worsening), delay or slowing of disease progression, improvement or alleviation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or complete), whether detectable or undetectable. "Treatment" may also mean prolonging survival relative to the expected survival time if not receiving treatment. Thus, a subject (e.g., a human) in need of treatment may be a subject suffering from the disease or disorder in question. The term "treating" includes inhibiting or reducing the increase in severity of a pathological state or symptom (e.g., weight gain or hyperglycemia) relative to no treatment, and does not necessarily mean complete cessation of the associated disease, disorder, or condition.
[1525] The term "prevention" and its grammatical variants (e.g., "prevented," "preventing," "prevent") refer to an action intended to hinder or prevent the occurrence of a condition, disease, or disorder, or to alter its pathological condition. Thus, "prevention" may refer to a preventive or prophylactic measure. For the purposes of this disclosure, beneficial or desired clinical outcomes include, but are not limited to, preventing or slowing the symptoms, progression, or occurrence of a disease, whether detectable or undetectable. Thus, a subject (e.g., a human) in need of "prevention" may be a subject that does not suffer from the disease or disorder in question. Thus, the term "prevention" includes inhibiting or slowing the onset of a disease relative to no treatment, and is not necessarily intended to imply permanent prevention of the disease, disorder, or condition in question.
[1526] The "subject" or "patient" of the present application can be a mammal, including a human or a non-human mammal, such as a non-human primate (e.g., an ape, an Old World monkey, or a New World monkey), a livestock animal (e.g., a cow or a pig), a companion animal (e.g., a dog or a cat), or an experimental animal such as a rodent (e.g., a mouse or a rat).
[1527] Different expressions such as “X is selected from A, B, or C”, “X is selected from A, B and C”, “X is A, B or C”, and “X is A, B and C” all express the same meaning, that is, X can be any one or more of A, B, and C.
[1528] The term "fatty acid" refers to a carboxylic acid with a long fatty acid tail (chain), which may be saturated or unsaturated; in some embodiments, the fatty acid in the present disclosure is a C4-C 30 A straight-chain or branched aliphatic group of carboxylic acid.
[1529] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may but need not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. For example, "a heterocyclic group optionally substituted with an alkyl group" means that the alkyl group may but need not be present, and that the description includes instances where the heterocyclic group is substituted with an alkyl group and instances where the heterocyclic group is not substituted with an alkyl group.
[1530] "Substituted" means that one or more hydrogen atoms, preferably up to 5, more preferably 1 to 3 hydrogen atoms, in a group are replaced independently of one another by a corresponding number of substituents. It goes without saying that the substituents are only in their possible chemical positions, and a person skilled in the art can determine (by experiment or theory) which substitutions are possible or impossible without undue effort. For example, an amino or hydroxyl group with free hydrogen may be unstable when combined with a carbon atom with an unsaturated (e.g., olefinic) bond.
[1531] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" as used herein is intended to mean a salt that is not harmful to a patient or subject when administered to the patient or subject. It may be suitably a salt selected from, for example, acid addition salts and basic salts.
[1532] A "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a mixture containing one or more compounds described herein, or their physiologically / pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs, together with other chemical components, as well as other components such as physiologically / pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration to an organism, facilitating absorption of the active ingredient and thereby exerting its biological activity.

[1539] Compound 1
[1540] 1.1.1 Synthesis of polypeptide backbone
[1541] Rink-amide MBHA resin (0.54 mmole / g, 0.1 mmol) was weighed on a balance and placed in a disposable polypropylene solid-phase reaction tube for peptide synthesis. Nitrogen was added and the resin swelled with nitrogen-dimethylformamide (DMF, 10 mL) under nitrogen bubbling for 5 minutes. The DMF was then removed under vacuum and washed with DMF (10 mL). This washing was repeated twice before peptide solid-phase synthesis was performed on a Prelude-X automated peptide synthesizer using the Fmoc / tBu strategy. The condensation reaction was performed in DMF at room temperature for 12 minutes using 10 equivalents of HATU (equivalent to the resin support), 20 equivalents of 4-methylmorpholine, and 10 equivalents of the amino acid residue. The N-terminal Fmoc protecting group was deprotected using a DMF solution containing 25% 4-methylpiperidine at room temperature for two 10-minute reactions. In peptide backbone synthesis, the condensation of the next amino acid after the deprotection of the Aib amino acid residue was repeated three times, each for 25 minutes, to improve the quality of the crude peptide.
[1542] 1.1.2 Selective deprotection of the resin peptide protecting group Mtt and side chain fatty acid modification
[1543] After the above peptide-resin extension is completed, a mixed solution of dichloromethane containing 30% hexafluoroisopropanol (10 mL) is added, and the mixture is shaken at room temperature for 45 minutes and then removed. A mixed solution of dichloromethane containing 30% hexafluoroisopropanol (10 mL) is added again, and the mixture is shaken at room temperature for 45 minutes and then removed. After the reaction, the resin is washed three times with DMF. The lysine side chain is extended using the Prelude-X fully automatic peptide synthesizer, and additional coupling / deprotection cycles involve amino acid building blocks Fmoc-AEEA-COOH and Fmoc-L-Glu-OtBu. In all couplings, 10 equivalents of HATU, 20 equivalents of 4-methylmorpholine and 10 equivalents of amino acid residues are used in DMF for reaction at room temperature for 12 minutes. The N-terminal Fmoc protecting group is deprotected using a DMF solution containing 25% 4-methylpiperidine at room temperature twice for 10 minutes each time. The final resin is washed three times with DCM and DMF respectively, and then 10 equivalents of HOOC-(CH2) are added. 18 A mixture of -COOtBu, 10 equivalents of HATU and 15 equivalents of diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) in DMF (8 mL) was reacted at room temperature for 3 hours to complete the fatty acid modification of the side chain.
[1544] 1.1.3 Product cleavage
[1545] The resin obtained in the previous step was washed three times with DMF and DCM, followed by vacuum drying. Freshly prepared cleavage buffer (trifluoroacetic acid: triisopropylsilane: water: mercaptoethanol = 91:3:3:3, volume ratio) (10 mL) was added and the mixture was shaken at room temperature for 1.5 hours. After the reaction, the mixture was filtered and a large amount of methyl tert-butyl ether was added to the filtrate to precipitate a solid. After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed, and the precipitate was washed twice with methyl tert-butyl ether and centrifuged to obtain a crude linear peptide.
[1546] 1.1.4 Product cyclization
[1547] The crude linear peptide was dissolved in a mixture of 50% acetic acid and water. Twenty equivalents of elemental iodine were added and reacted at room temperature to oxidize the free sulfhydryl groups to disulfide bonds. After ten minutes of reaction at room temperature, the excess iodine was neutralized with 1M aqueous ascorbic acid until the solution became colorless, yielding the crude peptide of Compound 1.
[1548] 1.1.5 Reverse-phase liquid chromatography purification of compound 1
[1549] The crude peptide of Compound 1 was diluted into a mixture of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, 20% acetonitrile, and 25% acetic acid / water. After filtration through a 0.45 μm membrane, the product was separated using a WATERS Prep150 LC reverse-phase HPLC system using buffers A (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, 10% acetonitrile, aqueous solution) and B (0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, 90% acetonitrile, aqueous solution).

The peptide resin containing the hSer (TBDMS) amino acid residue was then treated with a DCM solution (10 mL) containing 10 equivalents of triphenylphosphine and 10 equivalents of trichloroacetonitrile for two hours to yield the chlorinated product. The resin was washed three times with DCM and dried under vacuum. Freshly prepared cleavage buffer (trifluoroacetic acid: triisopropylsilane: water: anisole = 91:3:3:3, volume ratio) (10 mL) was added and the mixture was shaken at room temperature for 1.5 hours.

[1569] 1.4.1 Product cleavage
[1570] The resin obtained after modification of the side chain fatty acids was washed three times with DMF and then DCM, followed by vacuum drying. Freshly prepared lysis buffer (trifluoroacetic acid: triisopropylsilane: water: mercaptoethanol = 91:3:3:3, volume ratio) was then added and the reaction was shaken at room temperature for 1.5 hours.

[1601] 2.1.2 Experimental methods:
[1602] Cell recovery and culture: Remove the 293T cell cryovial from the liquid nitrogen tank and rapidly thaw in a 37°C water bath. Immediately aspirate the cell suspension and add it to a centrifuge tube containing 5 mL of the corresponding culture medium. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. Discard the supernatant, pipette the cells evenly with 10 mL of culture medium, transfer them to a T75 flask, tighten the cap, and place in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for culture until ready to use.
[1603] Transient cell transfection: On the first day, in a clean bench, discard the old culture medium; add 5 mL of PBS to the flask for washing, and discard the PBS; add 2 mL of 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA to the flask to digest the cells. Under a microscope, observe that the cells have detached from the bottom of the flask and most of them have become round. Add approximately 5 mL of culture medium to the flask to terminate the digestion, pipette evenly, and transfer to a 15 mL centrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, add an appropriate amount of culture medium, pipette evenly, and take a small amount of cells for counting. In a 6-well plate, 6 × 10 cells per well were added. 5 Plate the cells and culture them overnight in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. The next day, prepare two EP tubes for each well in a clean bench.

[1685] 2.6 Stability of compounds under neutral conditions (ThT)
[1686] Amylin has a tendency to aggregate to form insoluble amyloid fibrils. Examining its tendency to aggregate to form amyloid fibrils is a commonly used indicator for assessing its stability. This test uses the time it takes for fibril formation (lag time) to assess amyloid fibril formation under mechanical stress.
[1687] Thioflavin T (ThT) is a benzothiazole dye that exhibits enhanced fluorescence upon binding to amyloid fibrils. It is commonly used for the diagnosis of amyloid fibrils. In the presence of amyloid fibrils, thioflavin T emits bright fluorescence with excitation and emission maxima at 450 and 485 nm, respectively. The fluorescence changes linearly over the range of 0 to 2.0 μg / mL amyloid fibrils. Therefore, amyloid fibril formation can be assessed by measuring the fluorescence signal using a microplate reader.
[1688] 2.6.1 Experimental Purpose:
[1689] To assess the propensity of amylin analogs to aggregate to form amyloid fibrils.
[1690] 2.6.2 Experimental methods:
[1691] In a biological safety cabinet, the example compound was ×Adjust to 250 μM in PBS (pH = 7.4), and then add ThT (Sigma-Aldrich) with a final concentration of 1 μM. Then mix it and add it to a 96-well plate (OptiPlate-96, white Opaque 96 well Microplate, Perkin Elmer) at a volume of 200 μL / well, with three replicates for each sample. The fluorescence value change was read using a SpectraMax microplate reader for the first time (oscillation 20s; wavelength: Excitation at 450nm, auto Cutoff and Emission at 485nm) as 0h. Then seal the 96-well plate with a sealing film and place it on a microplate constant temperature oscillator at 37°C and incubate at 960rpm. Subsequently, read the fluorescence signal at different time points according to the initial SpectraMax microplate reader settings, and then continue to oscillate after sealing the plate with a sealing film. Until the end of the experiment. Microsoft Excel and GraphPad Prism 9 were used for analysis.
