Description
Amino acid compounds and their use in inflammatory diseases
[0001] Priority information
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202410403521.5 filed with the China Patent Office on April 3, 2024, entitled “A class of amino acid compounds and their use in inflammatory diseases of the body”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present invention relates to the field of biological therapy, and in particular, to a class of amino acid compounds and compositions and their application in treating inflammatory diseases of the body. Background Art
[0004] In recent years, the number of patients with inflammatory diseases related to the immune system has been increasing, including psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and allergic diseases such as asthma. Numerous researchers have devoted their efforts to synthesizing and identifying small molecule drugs that can effectively treat these diseases. However, few small molecules have been successfully developed as clinically effective therapies, making the treatment of inflammatory diseases a pressing challenge. The study of inflammatory diseases is inseparable from the understanding of the immune system. Given the rapid activation and proliferation of immune cells upon encountering foreign or self-antigens, the investigation of their cellular metabolism has become a major research focus. Some researchers have demonstrated promising therapeutic effects in mouse tumor models using inhibitors of the glutamine transporter (SLC1A5 / ASCT2); however, these small molecule compounds have yet to become clinically effective in treating human tumors. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of these existing compounds on cancer cell proliferation and their ability to kill cancer cells contradict the goal of treating inflammatory diseases.
[0005] Currently, no researchers have developed highly active, highly selective, and low-toxic compounds and their compositions as inhibitors of glutamine transporters to study their functions and therapeutic effects in inflammatory diseases. Summary of the Invention

Conversely, various features of the invention, which, for brevity, are described in the context of a single embodiment, may also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination.
[0063] Unless otherwise specified, all technical terms used in the present invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs. All patents and publications related to the present invention are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0064] Unless otherwise indicated, the following definitions used herein shall apply. For purposes of the present invention, chemical elements are defined in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, and Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75th edition, 1994. In addition, general principles of organic chemistry may be found in "Organic Chemistry," Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausalito: 1999, and "March's Advanced Organic Chemistry" by Michael B. Smith and Jerry March, John Wiley & Sons, New York: 2007, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0065] Unless otherwise specified or clearly contradicted by context, the articles "a," "an," and "the" as used herein are intended to include "at least one" or "one or more." Thus, as used herein, these articles refer to one or more than one (i.e., at least one) of the objects. For example, "a component" refers to one or more components, i.e., more than one component may be contemplated for use or use in implementing the described embodiments.
[0066] As used herein, the term "subject" refers to an animal. Typically, the animal is a mammal. A subject also refers, for example, to primates (e.g., humans, male or female), cattle, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice, fish, birds, and the like. In certain embodiments, the subject is a primate. In other embodiments, the subject is a human.
[0067] The term "patient" used in the present invention refers to humans (including adults and children) or other animals. In some embodiments, "patient" refers to humans.
[0068] The term "comprising" is an open expression, that is, including the contents specified in the present invention, but not excluding other contents.
[0069] The stereoisomers, tautomers, nitrogen oxides, solvates, metabolites, pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof of the compound of formula (I) of the present invention are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0070] The compounds of the present invention can be purchased commercially, prepared according to known methods, or synthesized according to routes designed using chemical synthesis theory.
[0071] "Stereoisomers" are compounds that have identical chemical constitutions but differ in the way the atoms or groups are arranged in space. Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, conformers (rotamers), geometric (cis / trans) isomers, atropisomers, and the like.
[0072] "Chiral" refers to a molecule that is non-superimposable on its mirror image; "achiral" refers to a molecule that is superimposable on its mirror image.
[0073] "Enantiomers" refer to two non-superimposable isomers of a compound that are mirror images of each other.
[0074] "Diastereoisomers" refers to stereoisomers that have two or more chiral neutral groups whose molecules are not mirror images of each other. Diastereoisomers have different physical properties, such as melting points, boiling points, spectral properties, and reactivities. Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated by high-resolution analytical procedures such as electrophoresis and chromatography, for example, HPLC.
[0075] Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow SP Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., "Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds", John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994.
[0076] Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, meaning they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. When describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to indicate the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and l or (+) and (-) are the symbols used to designate the rotation of plane-polarized light caused by the compound, where (-) or l indicates that the compound is left-handed. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is right-handed. A specific stereoisomer is an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is called a racemic mixture or racemate, which can occur when there is no stereoselectivity or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process.
[0077] Any asymmetric atom (e.g., carbon, etc.) of the compounds disclosed herein can exist in a racemic or enantiomerically enriched form, such as in the (R)-, (S)-, or (R,S)-configuration. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom has at least 50% enantiomeric excess, at least 60% enantiomeric excess, at least 70% enantiomeric excess, at least 80% enantiomeric excess, at least 90% enantiomeric excess, at least 95% enantiomeric excess, or at least 99% enantiomeric excess in terms of the (R)- or (S)-configuration.
[0078] Depending on the choice of starting materials and process, the compounds of the present invention may exist as one of the possible isomers or a mixture thereof, such as a racemate or a mixture of diastereoisomers (depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms). Optically active (R)- or (S)-isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituents may be in the E or Z configuration; if the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl group, the cycloalkyl substituents may be in the cis or trans configuration.
[0079] Any resulting mixture of stereoisomers can be separated into the pure or substantially pure geometric isomers, enantiomers, and diastereomers on the basis of the differences in the constituent physicochemical properties, for example, by chromatography and / or fractional crystallization.
[0080] Any racemate of the resulting final product or intermediate can be separated into its optical antipodes by methods familiar to those skilled in the art using known methods, such as by separating the diastereomeric salts obtained. The racemic products can also be separated by chiral chromatography, such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a chiral adsorbent. In particular, enantiomers can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis, for example, see Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis (2 nd Ed.Robert E.Gawley, Jeffrey Aubé, Elsevier, Oxford, UK, 2012); Eliel, ELStereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); Wilen, SHTables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p.268 (ELEliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972); Chiral Separation Techniques: A Practical Approach (Subramanian, G.Ed., Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, Germany, 2007).
[0081] The term "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" refers to structural isomers with different energies that can be converted into each other through a low energy barrier. If tautomerism is possible (such as in solution), a chemical equilibrium of the tautomers can be reached. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions performed by proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers include interconversions performed by the reorganization of some bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerism is the interconversion of pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-ene-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerism is phenol-keto tautomerism. A specific example of phenol-keto tautomerism is the interconversion of pyridine-4-ol and pyridine-4(1H)-one tautomers. Unless otherwise indicated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention.
[0082] The term "prodrug" as used in the present invention refers to a compound that is converted into a compound represented by formula (I) in vivo. Such conversion is affected by the hydrolysis of the prodrug in the blood or by enzyme conversion to the parent structure in the blood or tissue. The prodrug compound of the present invention can be an ester. In the existing invention, esters that can be used as prodrugs include phenyl esters, aliphatic (C 1-24) esters, acyloxymethyl esters, carbonates, carbamates, and amino acid esters. For example, a compound of the present invention containing a hydroxyl group can be acylated to produce a prodrug form of the compound. Other prodrug forms include phosphate esters, such as these phosphate ester compounds, which are obtained by phosphorylating a hydroxyl group on the parent compound. For a complete discussion of prodrugs, see T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the ACSSymposium Series, Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, J. Rautio et al., Prodrugs: Design and Clinical Applications, Nature Review Drug Discovery, 2008, 7, 255-270, and SJ Hecker et al., Prodrugs of Phosphates and Phosphonates, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2008, 51, 2328-2345.
[0083] "Metabolite" refers to a product resulting from the in vivo metabolism of a specific compound or salt thereof. Metabolites of a compound can be identified using techniques known in the art, and their activity can be characterized using assays such as those described herein. Such products can be obtained by administering the compound through oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, deamidation, esterification, defatting, enzymatic cleavage, and the like. Accordingly, the present invention encompasses metabolites of the compound, including metabolites produced by contacting a compound of the invention with a mammal for a sufficient period of time.
[0084] As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refer to organic and inorganic salts of the compounds of the present invention. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art, as described in S.M. Berge et al., "Describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66: 1-19." Pharmaceutically acceptable salts formed from non-toxic acids include, but are not limited to, inorganic acid salts formed by reaction with amino groups, such as hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, phosphates, sulfates, and perchlorates, and organic acid salts such as acetates, oxalates, maleates, tartrates, citrates, succinates, and malonates, or salts obtained by other methods described in the literature, such as ion exchange.

Water-soluble or oil-soluble or dispersible products can be obtained by quaternization. Alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts further include appropriate, non-toxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium salts and amine cations formed by counter ions, such as halides, hydroxides, carboxylates, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates, C 1-8 Sulfonates and aromatic sulfonates.
[0085] As used herein, a "solvate" refers to an association formed between one or more solvent molecules and a compound of the present invention. Solvents that form solvates include, but are not limited to, water, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, and aminoethanol. The term "hydrate" refers to an association formed when the solvent molecule is water.
[0086] As used herein, the term "treating" any disease or condition, in some embodiments, refers to ameliorating the disease or condition (i.e., slowing or arresting or alleviating the development of the disease or at least one clinical symptom thereof). In other embodiments, "treating" refers to alleviating or improving at least one physical parameter, including physical parameters that may not be perceived by the patient. In other embodiments, "treating" refers to regulating the disease or condition physically (e.g., stabilizing a perceptible symptom) or physiologically (e.g., stabilizing a physical parameter), or both. In other embodiments, "treating" refers to preventing or delaying the onset, occurrence, or worsening of a disease or condition.
[0087] As used herein, "inflammatory disease" refers to any disease, disorder, or condition characterized by excessive inflammatory symptoms, host tissue damage, or loss of tissue function resulting from an excessive or uncontrolled inflammatory response. "Inflammatory disease" also refers to a pathological state mediated by leukocyte influx and / or neutrophil chemotaxis.
[0088] As used herein, "inflammation" refers to a local protective response caused by tissue damage or destruction, which serves to destroy, dilute, or isolate (isolate) harmful substances and damaged tissue. Inflammation is significantly associated with leukocyte influx and / or neutrophil chemotaxis. Inflammation can result from infection with pathogenic organisms and viruses, as well as non-infectious causes such as trauma or reperfusion following myocardial infarction or stroke, immune responses to foreign antigens, and autoimmune responses. Therefore, inflammatory diseases that can be treated with the compounds disclosed herein include diseases associated with specific defense system responses as well as non-specific defense system responses.
[0089] The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound disclosed in the present invention, or a compound listed in the examples; and a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, excipient, carrier, solvent, or a combination thereof.
[0090] It should also be recognized that certain compounds of the present invention may be used therapeutically in free form or, if appropriate, in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof. Some non-limiting embodiments of pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives include pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, salts, esters, salts of such esters, or any other adducts or derivatives that, when administered to a patient in need thereof, directly or indirectly provide a compound of the present invention or a metabolite or residue thereof.
[0091] The pharmaceutical composition disclosed in the present invention can be prepared and packaged as bulk form, wherein a safe and effective amount of the compound shown in formula (I) can be extracted and then administered to the patient in the form of a powder or syrup. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical composition disclosed in the present invention can be prepared and packaged as a unit dosage form, wherein each physically discrete unit contains a safe and effective amount of the compound shown in formula (I). When prepared in unit dosage form, the pharmaceutical composition disclosed in the present invention can generally contain, for example, 0.5 mg to 1 g or 1 mg to 700 mg or 5 mg to 100 mg of the compound disclosed in the present invention.
[0092] As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" means a pharmaceutically acceptable material, mixture, or vehicle that contributes to the consistency of a dosage form or pharmaceutical composition. Each excipient, when combined, must be compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition to avoid interactions that could significantly reduce the efficacy of the disclosed compounds upon administration to a patient and interactions that could render the pharmaceutical composition unpharmaceutically acceptable.

[0162] Compound preparation route:
[0163] The first step of the reaction:
[0164] To a 50 mL round-bottom flask, aryl bromide A (1 mmol, 1.0 equiv), aryl boronic acid compound B (1.5 mmol, 1.5 equiv), tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium (0.05 mmol, 0.05 equiv), potassium carbonate (3 mmol, 3 equiv), and 10 mL of 1,4-dioxane aqueous solution (1,4-dioxane:H2O = 10:1) were added sequentially. Under nitrogen, the mixture was stirred at 100°C for 3 hours. After completion, 20 mL of water was added to terminate the reaction. The reaction solution was extracted with 100 mL of ethyl acetate three times. The organic phases were combined and washed once with 30 mL of saturated brine. The organic phases were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent, yielding the crude product. Purification by flash column chromatography afforded ester C.
[0165] Second step of reaction:
[0166] Compound C was dissolved in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and methanol (volume ratio 1:1), and then an equal volume of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was added dropwise to a final concentration of 1M. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours for hydrolysis to obtain compound D. The tetrahydrofuran and methanol were removed by rotary evaporation, and the pH was adjusted to 5 with 1M hydrochloric acid to precipitate compound D. Product D was extracted with 120mL of ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent to obtain a crude product. Carboxylic acid D was purified by flash column chromatography.
[0167] Reaction step 3:
[0168] In a 50 mL reaction flask, carboxylic acid D (1.0 equivalent) was dissolved in an appropriate amount of solvent, and 2-(7-azabenzotriazole)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (2.0 equivalents) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (4.0 equivalents) were added. After stirring at room temperature for 15 minutes, compound E (1.1 equivalents) was added and stirring was continued at room temperature overnight. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was poured into 200 mL of ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed twice with deionized water and saturated brine. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent to obtain the crude product. Purification by flash column chromatography gave compound F.
[0169] Reaction step 4:
[0170] Compound F was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, and an equal volume of aqueous lithium hydroxide solution was added to give a final concentration of 1 M lithium hydroxide. The hydrolysis reaction was stirred at room temperature, and the reaction progress was monitored by thin-layer chromatography. After the reaction was complete, the tetrahydrofuran was removed by rotary evaporation, and the pH was adjusted to 5 with 1 M hydrochloric acid to precipitate compound G. Product G was extracted with 120 mL of ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent to obtain crude product G.
[0171] Reaction step 5:
[0172] Crude Compound G was dissolved in 1,4-dioxane, and a 1,4-dioxane solution of hydrochloric acid was slowly added dropwise at 0°C to a final concentration of 2 M. The reaction solution was then slowly warmed to room temperature, and the reaction progress was monitored by HPLC-MS. After the reaction was complete, the 1,4-dioxane was removed by rotary evaporation, and the crude product was dissolved in a trace amount of N,N-dimethylformamide and purified by reverse-phase preparative chromatography to obtain product 20.

Count the cells of 1 mL of cell suspension, adjust the cell suspension concentration to 2×10^6 cells / mL, add cytokines for differentiation into Th17 or Tc17 (IL6 working concentration is 20 ng / mL, TGFβ working concentration is 1 ng / mL), cytokines for differentiation into Th2 (IL4 working concentration is 100 ng / mL, anti-IFNγ working concentration is 5 μg / mL), cytokines for differentiation into Th1 (IL2 working concentration is 20 ng / mL, IL12 working concentration is 10 ng / mL), cytokines for differentiation into Treg (TGFβ working concentration is 1 ng / mL), and add 50 μg / mL of peptide MOG35-55 (2D2 genotype mice) or 0.5 μg / mL of peptide OVA257-264 (OT-I genotype mice) and mix well. Obtain the cell fluid of the amino acid compound to be tested.
[0217] (5) When using C57BL / 6 wild-type mice for in vitro culture, it is necessary to coat the cell culture plates with antibodies in advance: dilute anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 in PBS at a working concentration of 5 μg / mL the night before the experiment, and add the dilution to a 96-well plate at 100 μL / well; seal the 96-well plate with sealing film and place it in a 4°C refrigerator, away from light, overnight.
[0218] (6) Childish Isolation of CD4-positive T cells. 8-12 week-old C57BL / 6 wild-type mice housed in an SPF animal care facility were euthanized. The spleen and peripheral lymph nodes were isolated using sterile surgical instruments in a cleanroom. The cells were then placed through a 70 μM filter placed on a 50 mL tube. The tissue was thoroughly triturated using the handle of a 1 mL syringe. All cells on the filter were rinsed into the 50 mL tube with staining buffer and centrifuged at 500 g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded, and 8 mL / mouse of red blood cell lysis buffer was added to the tube to resuspend the cells. After incubation at room temperature for 5 minutes, an equal volume of staining buffer was added and mixed to terminate lysis. The supernatant was then centrifuged at 500 g and the supernatant discarded. The cells were resuspended in 0.5 mL of staining buffer and filtered through a 70 μM flow cytometer tube with a cap. 50 μL of CD4 (L3T4) Microbeads were then added and mixed. The tube was incubated at 4°C in the dark for 15 minutes. Add 4mL staining buffer to the flow tube, centrifuge at 500G and discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells with 1mL staining buffer / mouse, add to the LS column placed on the magnetic stand, wait for the liquid to drip clean, and then add staining buffer three times, 3mL / time. Remove the column, flush the cells into a 15mL tube with staining buffer, centrifuge and discard the supernatant. Dilute the flow cytometry antibodies CD4, CD44, CD62L and CD25 (500μL / mouse) with staining buffer at a ratio of 1:400, resuspend the cells with the antibody dilution solution, incubate at 4℃ in the dark for 30 minutes, and then wash the cells with staining buffer. After resuspending the cells with staining buffer, filter them into the tube using a 70μM flow tube with a cap, and finally sort the cells marked as CD4 positive, CD44 negative, CD62L positive and CD25 negative into the collection tube through a flow sorter to obtain naive cells. CD4-positive T cells.
[0219] (7) C57BL / 6 wild-type mice were selected from naive mice In vitro cell culture of CD4 positive T cells. CD4+ T cells were resuspended in T cell culture medium (concentration: 5 × 10^5 cells / mL), and cytokines for Th17 differentiation were added (IL6 working concentration: 20 ng / mL, TGFβ working concentration: 1 ng / mL, IL1β working concentration: 10 ng / mL, IL23 working concentration: 25 ng / mL), and mixed thoroughly. This gave the cell fluid to be mixed with the amino acid compounds to be tested.
[0220] (8) Divide the cell suspension mixed with the amino acid compound to be tested in the previous step into several 1.5mL EP tubes, 400μL / tube. Dilute the test compound to 100 times the working concentration with T cell culture medium, then add it to the cell suspension and mix thoroughly. 400μL of cell suspension requires 4μL of 100X compound diluent. For the control group, add the same volume of the amino acid compound to the corresponding T cell culture medium and mix thoroughly. Pipette the same volume of liquid as the 100X compound diluent and mix it with the cell suspension. After mixing the liquid in each 1.5mL EP tube, add it to the corresponding 96-well plate, 100μL / well. Place in a 37℃ cell culture incubator and culture for 48 hours or 96 hours.
[0221] (9) 48 hours (whole spleen cells of special genotype mice cultured in vitro) or 96 hours (selected naive spleen cells from C57BL / 6 wild-type mice) After in vitro cell culture of CD4-positive T cells), the cells were resuspended and transferred to a U-bottom 96-well plate, centrifuged at 500G to remove the supernatant, 100 μL T cell stimulation solution (GolgiStop, Ionomycin, PMA) was added to each well, and the cells were placed in a 37°C cell culture incubator for stimulation for 4 hours. The cell plate was removed and the cells were washed with staining buffer, centrifuged at 500G to remove the supernatant, and 50 μL surface antibody dilution solution was added to each well to perform flow cytometry staining on the cells (Live / Dead dilution ratio of 1:4000; according to the cell type, Th is CD25 and CD4; Tc is CD25 and CD8, dilution ratio 1:400), and placed in a 4°C refrigerator away from light for staining for 30 minutes. The cells were washed with buffer, centrifuged at 500G to remove the supernatant, fixed and punched with punching solution for 50 minutes or overnight, washed with 1xPerm, centrifuged at 800G to remove the supernatant, and 50 μL of cytokine (IL17A, IL17F, GM-CSF, IFNγ, IL4, dilution ratio 1:400) or transcription factor (RORγt, FoxP3, Phospho-STAT3, Phospho-STAT5 dilution ratio 1:200) antibody dilution solution was added to each well to stain the cells for 2 hours or overnight, and finally the experimental results were recorded by flow cytometry.
[0222] (10) The experimental results showed that the amino acid compound (administration group) could inhibit the secretion of cytokines IL17A, IL17F, and GM-CSF by Th17 cells (Figure 1-A). The experimental results further showed that the amino acid compound (administration group) could significantly inhibit the expression of RORγt (Figure 1-B) and significantly reduce the phosphorylation of the transcription factor STAT3 (Figure 1-C).
[0223] (11) The experimental results showed that amino acid compounds (administered group) could inhibit the secretion of cytokine IL4 by Th2 cells (Figure 1-D). Since IL4 plays an extremely important role in allergic diseases such as asthma, the results of this experiment revealed that amino acid compounds can slow the occurrence of allergic diseases such as asthma.
[0224] Test Example 2: Application of amino acid compounds in mouse autoimmune model.
[0225] (1) Supplies: Supplies required for in vitro cell culture are as described in Example 1, including 24-well plates, BD brand 1 mL syringes, and ordinary 1 mL syringes.
[0226] (2) Reagents: The reagents required for in vitro cell culture are as described in Example 1, including peptide MOG35-55, pertussis toxin, PBS, DMF, Tween 80, and anesthetic.
[0227] (3) The spleen cells of 2D2 genotype mice were induced to differentiate into Th17 in vitro (for detailed operation, see Test Example 1 above), and IL6, TGFβ, IL1β, IL23 and peptide MOG35-55 were added. The cell solution was added to a 24-well plate at 500 μL / well and placed in a 37°C cell culture incubator. After 34 hours, 20 μM of the amino acid compound to be tested was added and incubated for another 14 hours. The cells were washed out and injected into RAG1 gene knockout mice through the tail vein using a BD brand 1 mL syringe at a rate of 1.5x10^6 cells per recipient mouse, 300 μL / mouse. 24 hours later, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with pertussis toxin using a regular 1 mL syringe, 300 ng of the solvent was PBS / mouse, 200 μL / mouse.
[0228] (4) Administration to mice. PBS, DMF, and Tween80 were thoroughly mixed in a ratio of 88:10:2 and filtered through a 0.22 filter to obtain a PDT solvent. The amino acid compound to be tested was added to the PDT solvent at 250 μg / 200 μL; an equal amount of DMSO was added to the control group. The prepared drug was injected into the mouse via the peritoneal cavity at 200 μL / mouse. The drug was administered daily for 18 consecutive days. After 28 days, the popliteal lymph nodes of the mice were isolated and cell suspensions were prepared for flow cytometry analysis of Th17 cell-related characteristic molecules. 24 hours later, the amino acid compound to be tested was injected into the mouse peritoneal cavity using an ordinary 1 mL syringe at a dosage of 20 μL of drug per mouse per day (drug concentration of 50 mM) for 18 consecutive administrations.
[0229] (5) Starting from the return of cells through the tail vein, the weight of the mice was recorded every day and the clinical disease scores of the mice were observed. Clinical disease scores: healthy state (0 points); weak tail (1 point); slow walking, uncoordinated movement of the left and right hind limbs, and involuntary tremors of the hind limbs (2 points); paralysis of the hind limbs alone (3 points); paralysis of both hind limbs (4 points); paralysis of the forelimbs, or death of the mouse (5 points). On the 28th day after the return of cells through the tail vein, the central nervous system (CNS) of the mice was removed and a single cell suspension was prepared. The proportion and number of cells contained in the suspension were analyzed using flow cytometry.
[0230] (6) The experimental results showed that the disease incidence score of autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in the drug group was significantly lower than that in the control group (Figure 2-A), and the weight loss in the drug group was also significantly lower than that in the control group (Figure 2-B). This shows that amino acid compounds can significantly delay the progression of autoimmune diseases in mice.
