[0117] Pharmacological experiments:
[0118] Example 1: Protective effect of compound CXT 1-25 on inflammatory response of LPS-stimulated macrophage Raw264.7
[0119] Method: The frozen cells were taken out from liquid nitrogen and placed in a 37°C water bath immediately. The cells were thawed by gently shaking and 3 mL of pre-warmed complete medium (DMEM + 10% fetal bovine serum + 1% penicillin-streptomycin mixture) was added. After centrifugation at 800g for 3 min, the supernatant was discarded and the cells were resuspended and transferred to a fresh culture dish containing fresh complete medium. The cells were incubated in a 37°C CO2 incubator. In this experiment, the resuscitated cells were considered stable after being subcultured for 2 passages and were used for experiments. Raw264.7 cells are semi-adherent cells, and in the resting state, they are round and several cells aggregate in a "grape-like" shape. When the cells grow to about 90% confluence, they are subcultured. The medium is aspirated and replaced with fresh complete medium. The cells are detached by blowing and collected in a centrifuge tube. After centrifugation at 800g for 3 min, the supernatant is discarded and the cell pellet is resuspended in 1 mL of medium. The cell pellet is gently blown to disperse the cells into single cells, and the cells are inoculated in a culture dish at a ratio of 1:3 and incubated in a 37°C CO2 incubator.
[0120] The cells were uniformly plated in a 96-well plate at a concentration of 5 x 10 5 After 17-24 hours of incubation in a 37°C CO2 incubator, the cells were treated with 1% fetal bovine serum starvation medium for 4 hours. After 4 hours, the medium was replaced with 8% fetal bovine serum maintenance medium, and 10 μL / well of drug was added for 2 hours. Then, 1 μg / mL of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was added for 12 hours. The cell culture medium was collected for subsequent experiments.
[0121] NO content was measured by the Griess reagent method: 1% sulfanilamide solution and 0.1% NED solution were taken and restored to room temperature. 0.1 M sodium nitrite was diluted with complete medium to 100 μM, and then gradient diluted at a ratio of 1:2 to obtain 8 concentration standards. 50 μL / well of sample and standard was added to a 96-well plate, 50 μL / well of 1% sulfanilamide solution was added to the above wells, and incubated at room temperature for 5 min in the dark. 50 μL / well of 0.1% NED solution was added to the above wells, and the color reaction appeared immediately. Incubate at room temperature for 5 min in the dark. Read the absorbance value of the above wells at 525 nm. Linear fitting of the absorbance values of the standards gives the linear equation C=a*A525+b between concentration C and absorbance A525. The NO concentration in each sample was calculated by substituting the sample absorbance value into the above equation.
[0122] The results of the anti-inflammatory effect screening of compound CXT 1-25 on LPS-stimulated macrophages Raw264.7 are shown in Table 1. LPS stimulation can significantly increase the secretion of NO, and 10 μmol / L CXT 1-25 compounds can significantly reduce the secretion of NO, showing obvious anti-inflammatory effect.

[0124] Example 2: Effect of CXT-24 at 3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg on infarct volume in pMCAO rats
[0125] Materials and methods:
[0126] CXT-24 was provided by the Institute of Materia Medica, Peking Union Medical College, with a chemical purity of >99.5%. When prepared, DMSO and 0.5% CMC-Na were added and ultrasonicated for 30 min.
[0127] TTC (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride): A 4% solution was prepared in TTC buffer solution and was produced by Sigma-Aldrich.
[0128] Permanent focal cerebral ischemia model (pMCAO) preparation:
[0129] Male SD rats, weighing 260-280 g, were housed 5 per cage in a room maintained at 23 °C with free access to food and water. The rats were anesthetized with a Zoletil small animal anesthetic machine. The right common carotid artery was exposed through a midline incision in the neck, and the internal and external carotid arteries (ICA, ECA) were carefully separated. The ECA was ligated and cut, and a 0.26 ± 0.01 mm diameter nylon thread with a 0.36 ± 0.02 mm diameter head was inserted into the ICA from the ECA for about 16 mm, reaching the origin of the middle cerebral artery. The thread was then fixed and the excess was cut off, and the ECA opening was ligated and 5 drops of gentamicin were added. The incision was sutured and the rats were returned to the cage. The room temperature was maintained at 23-25 °C throughout the procedure. During the entire operation, the rats were placed on a 37 °C heating plate to maintain body temperature. Drug administration was performed 10 minutes after ischemia.
[0130] Grouping and drug administration:
[0131] The rats were divided into 5 groups of 10 each, namely the solvent control group, the CXT-24 3 mg / kg group, the CXT-24 10 mg / kg group, the CXT-24 30 mg / kg group, and the edaravone group at 30 mg / kg of dextromethorphan; the edaravone group was administered by tail vein injection, and the others were administered by oral gavage.
[0132] Neurobehavioral scoring:
[0133] Behavioral observation was performed 24 hours after ischemia, and the evaluation methods included Bederson and mNSS scoring.
[0134] Measurement of infarct volume:
[0135] The determination of cerebral infarction volume is described in detail in Pharmacological Experimental Methods (Xu Shuyun, 3rd edition, p1066-1067). The rats were decapitated and their brains were removed immediately after 24 hours of ischemia. The olfactory tract, cerebellum and low brain stem were removed, and the brain was cut into 6 pieces in the coronal direction. The brain slices were quickly placed in 5 ml of 1% TTC solution (37°C, dark) for 30 minutes, with the slices being turned over every 5 minutes. After TTC staining, normal tissues were deeply stained red, while infarcted tissues were white. The brain slices of each group were arranged in order and photographed for preservation. The image analysis system software Photoshop was used for processing and statistics to calculate the infarct area of each slice, and finally the infarct volume was calculated.
[0136] The percentage of infarct volume was calculated by the following formula:
[0137] Cerebral infarction volume (%) = (unoperated half-brain volume - unimpaired volume of the operated half-brain) / unoperated half-brain volume x 100%
[0138] Inclusion and exclusion criteria for experimental animals:
[0139] In this experiment, the permanent focal cerebral ischemia model (pMCAO) was used in SD rats. The entire operation (anesthesia) process took about 20 minutes for one rat. All postoperative SD rats could drink water and eat freely after waking up from anesthesia. The main causes of death were bleeding caused by wire insertion and intestinal distension during anesthesia. The exclusion criteria included:
[0140] (1) SD rats died of brain hemorrhage caused by wire insertion within 24 hours after operation;
[0141] (2) SD rats died of intestinal distension caused by anesthesia within 24 hours after operation;
[0142] (3) SD rats whose body weight did not meet the experimental standards.
[0143] Statistical methods:
[0144] All data were statistically analyzed on Graph Prism 8.0.1, and all results were expressed as mean ± SEM. The t-test was used for statistical analysis to compare the differences between groups, and P<0.05 was considered to be a significant difference.
[0145] Experimental results:
[0146] (1) Effect of compound CXT-24 on cerebral infarction volume in SD rats after acute ischemic stroke
[0147] The cerebral infarction volume of SD rats after acute cerebral ischemia for 24 h was (66.08 ± 2.021) %, while after administration of different doses of CXT-24 (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg) and edaravone dextrose (30 mg / kg), the cerebral infarction volume after 24 h was (58.05 ± 6.774) %, (40.04 ± 5.823) %, (49.87 ± 6.463) % and (51.59 ± 6.225) %, respectively. The cerebral infarction volume of each group of compound CXT-24 orally administered was reduced compared with the control group, indicating that administration of compound CXT-24 had a certain therapeutic effect on acute ischemic stroke in SD rats.

[0149] (2) Effect of compound CXT-24 on behavioral deficits of SD rats after acute ischemic stroke
[0150] The Bederson score was used to determine the behavioral score of rats after acute cerebral ischemia. The results showed that the score of SD rats after cerebral ischemia for 24 h was 2.889 ± 0.2003. After administration of different doses of CXT-24 (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg) and edaravone dextrose (30 mg / kg), the behavioral score after 24 h was 2.375 ± 0.1830, 2.182 ± 0.1220, 2.111 ± 0.1111 and 2.250 ± 0.1637, respectively. The results showed that the 10 mg / kg dose group and the 30 mg / kg dose group of compound CXT-24 had significant differences compared with the control group, indicating that administration of compound CXT-24 had a certain effect on improving the behavioral deficits of SD rats after acute ischemic stroke.

[0152] The mNSS score was used to determine the behavior score of rats after acute cerebral ischemia. The results showed that the score of SD rats was 11.44±0.6035 after 24h of cerebral ischemia. After administration of different doses of CXT-24 (3mg / kg, 10mg / kg, 30mg / kg) and edaravone dextrose (30mg / kg), the behavior scores after 24h were 9.500±0.5976, 9.091±0.3921, 8.556±0.8012, and 8.500±0.4226, respectively. This suggests that administration of compound CXT-24 has a certain effect on improving the behavior impairment of SD rats with acute ischemic stroke.

The rats were anesthetized with a Ruiwode general-purpose small animal anesthetizing machine. The right common carotid artery was exposed through a midline incision in the neck, and the internal and external carotid arteries (ICA, ECA) were carefully separated. The ECA was ligated and cut, and a nylon thread with a body diameter of 0.26±0.01mm and a head diameter of 0.36±0.02mm was inserted into the ICA about 16mm from the ECA, reaching the middle cerebral artery. The thread was then fixed and the excess portion was cut off, and the ECA opening was ligated and 5 drops of gentamicin were added, and the incision was sutured and placed back in the cage. The room temperature was maintained at 23-25°C during the entire procedure. During the entire operation, the rats were placed on a 37°C heating plate to maintain body temperature. Drug administration was performed 1 minute after ischemia.

[0162] Behavioral observation was performed 24 hours after ischemia, and the evaluation methods included Bederson and mNSS scores.
[0163] Measurement of cerebral infarction volume:
[0164] The measurement of cerebral infarction volume is described in detail in the pharmacological experimental method (Xu Shuyun, 3rd edition, p1066-1067). After 24 hours of ischemia, the rats were decapitated immediately, and the olfactory tract, cerebellum and low brain stem were removed. The brain was cut into 6 pieces in the coronal direction, and then quickly placed in 5 ml of 1% TTC solution for staining (37°C, dark) for 30 minutes, with turning every 5 minutes. After TTC staining, normal tissues were deeply stained red, and infarct tissues were white. The brain slices in each group were arranged in order, and photographed for preservation. Image analysis system software Photoshop was used for processing and statistics, and the infarction area of each slice was calculated, and finally converted into infarction volume.
[0165] The percentage of infarction volume was calculated by the following formula:
[0166] Cerebral infarction volume (%) = (unoperated half brain volume - unimpaired volume of the operated half brain) / unoperated half brain volume x 100%
[0167] Inclusion and exclusion criteria for experimental animals:
[0168] In this experiment, the permanent focal cerebral ischemia model (pMCAO) of SD rats was used. The whole operation (anesthesia) process took about 20 minutes for one rat. All postoperative SD rats could drink water and eat freely after waking up from anesthesia.

[0172] Statistical method:
[0173] All data were analyzed by Graph Prism 8.0.1, and all results were expressed as mean ± SEM. The differences between groups were compared by t test, and P < 0.05 was considered to be significantly different.
[0174] Experimental results
[0175] Effect of CXT-24 injection on cerebral infarction volume after acute ischemic stroke in SD rats:
[0176] The cerebral infarction volume of SD rats after 24 h of acute cerebral ischemia was (65.68 ± 3.582)%, while after administration of different doses of CXT-24 injection (1 mg / kg, 3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg) and edaravone dextrose (30 mg / kg), the cerebral infarction volume after 24 h was (59.97 ± 2.347)%, (47.91 ± 4.583)%, (38.80 ± 6.849)%, and (50.22 ± 5.419)%, respectively. The cerebral infarction volume of each CXT-24 injection group was lower than that of the control group, indicating that CXT-24 injection had a certain therapeutic effect on acute ischemic stroke in SD rats.

[0183] Example 4: Effect of compound CXT-24 on cell survival rate of neurons injured by oxygen-glucose deprivation / reoxygenation injury
[0184] Experimental grouping:
[0185] A blank control group (Control group), an oxygen-glucose deprivation / reoxygenation injury model group (Model group), and an oxygen-glucose deprivation / reoxygenation injury + test drug group were set up.
[0186] Experimental process:
[0187] (1) SK-N-SH cells were inoculated in a 96-well culture plate at a density of 6.5×10^4 cells / ml, 100μl / well;
[0188] (2) After the cells adhered, the medium in the 96-well plate was discarded (one row was discarded with a row gun, and one row was added), the Control group was added with complete culture medium, 100μl per well, the Model group was added with low-sugar culture medium, 100μl per well, and the neuroprotective agent screening group was added with low-sugar culture medium, 90μl per well. The neuroprotective agent screening group was further added with 10μl of the test compound at a concentration of 100μM. Three replicate wells were set up for each group, and the experiment was repeated 3 times;
[0189] (3) Put into the anoxic chamber and fill with 95% N2+5% CO2, cultivate at 37℃ for 4h;
[0190] (4) Aspirate the culture medium of the 96-well plate (use the gun to aspirate one row and add one row). Add 100 μl of complete culture medium to each well of the Control group. After opening the hypoxia chamber, add 100 μl of complete culture medium to each well of the Model group and add 90 μl of complete culture medium to each well of the neuroprotective agent screening group. Add 10 μl of the neuroprotective agent to be screened at a concentration of 100 μM to the neuroprotective agent screening group.
[0191] (5) Incubate the cells in a cell incubator at 37°C for 4 hours.
[0192] (6) Add 10 μl of MTT (5 mg / ml) to each well and continue the reaction at 37°C for 4 hours.
[0193] (7) Aspirate the culture medium in the 96-well plate and add 150 μl of DMSO to each well. Gently shake the plate to dissolve the crystal product. Measure the optical density (OD) value of each well at a wavelength of 570 nm using an enzyme marker. The OD value reflects the cell survival rate of each neuroprotective agent to be screened. Compounds that have a protective effect on the injury model are determined to be re-screened.
[0194] Calculate the relative cell survival rate of each group compared to the Model group:
[0195] (1) Calculate the cell survival rate of the Model group:
[0196] (Model group OD value / Control group OD value) x 100%
[0197] (2) Then calculate the cell survival rate of each drug compared to the Model group:
[0198] (Drug group cell survival rate - Model group cell survival rate) / Model group cell survival rate x 100%
[0199] Statistical method:
[0200] The statistical analysis method is T-test. P < 0.05 is considered to be significantly different.

[0203] Experimental method:
[0204] CXT-24 was provided by the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, with a chemical purity of >99.5%. When preparing, 0.5% CMC-Na was added, ground, and then ultrasonicated for 30 min.
[0205] (1) Hot plate test of mice
[0206] Male ICR mice were randomly divided by weight the day before the test and acclimated to the equipment for 5 min. On the test day, the hot plate was set to 55.0°C. The animals were gently placed on the hot plate, and the instrument recorded the time at which the animals showed licking the hind foot or jumping behavior within 60 s as the pain threshold. The second test value was recorded 5 min apart, and the drug was given immediately. The animals were gently placed on the hot plate again 30 min after the positive control interval (60 min interval), and the post-dose pain threshold was tested. Animals with a pre-dose pain threshold <5 s or >30 s were excluded, and the post-dose pain threshold was calculated. After the animal experiment, the animals were euthanized using CO2 and disposed of.
[0207] (2) Grouping and drug administration
[0208] There were 5 groups, each with 20-22 animals, and the animals were divided into a solvent control group, a CXT-24 drug administration group (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg), and a positive drug indomethacin group. The drug was administered at a volume of 0.1 mL / 10 g, all by oral gavage.

[0213] The pain threshold of male ICR mice on the hot plate was (8.66±1.07) s in the model group, while after administration of different doses of CXT-24 (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg) and indomethacin (10 mg / kg), the pain threshold was (10.38±1.26) s, (12.59±1.59) s, (15.37±2.38) s, and (14.83±1.35) s, respectively. Compound CXT-24 at doses of 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg significantly increased the pain threshold of mice compared with the control group (p<0.05), suggesting that administration of compound CXT-24 had a certain analgesic effect.

[0218] (1) Acetic acid writhing test in mice
[0219] Seventy-five male ICR mice, weighing 18-22 g, were randomly divided by weight the day before the test. Fifteen minutes after oral administration of CXT-24 at 0.1 mL / 10 g (positive drug at 60 min), 0.6% acetic acid solution was injected intraperitoneally at 0.1 mL / 10 g BW, and the writhing response of the mice was observed within 15 min, including abdominal concave, stretching of the trunk and hind limbs, high buttocks, etc. The latency of the first writhing and the number of writhings were recorded. The experiment was scored by a single-blind experimenter. After the experiment, the mice were euthanized with CO2.
[0220] (2) Grouping and administration

[0226] The pain latency of male ICR mice after injection of 0.6% acetic acid solution was: model group (346.7±44.23) s, and after administration of different doses of CXT-24 (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg) and indomethacin (10 mg / kg), the latency was (450.3±73.45) s, (517.2±68.29) s, (506.7±69.66) s, (747.5±51.92) s, respectively. The pain latency of mice after injection of acetic acid in the 10 mg / kg group of compound CXT-24 administered orally was significantly increased compared with the control group (p<0.05), and the pain latency of mice after injection of acetic acid in the 30 mg / kg group had a trend of increasing compared with the control group (p=0.06), suggesting that administration of compound CXT-24 had certain analgesic effect.

[0228] The writhing times of male ICR mice after injection of 0.6% acetic acid solution were: model group (25.57±4.34) s, and after administration of different doses of CXT-24 (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg) and indomethacin (10 mg / kg), the writhing times were (17.20±4.84) s, (9.93±2.37) s, (8.67±2.90) s, (2.67±1.09) s, respectively. The writhing times of mice after injection of acetic acid in the 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg groups of compound CXT-24 administered orally were significantly reduced compared with the control group (p<0.01), suggesting that administration of compound CXT-24 had certain analgesic effect.

[0230] Example 7: Effect of 10 mg / kg dose of CXT-24 on the neurological function of TBI rats
[0231] Experimental materials and methods:
[0232] CXT-24 was provided by the Institute of Plant Protection, with a chemical purity of >99.5%. When prepared, 0.5% CMC-Na was added and ground uniformly in a mortar.
[0233] Preparation of rat traumatic brain injury model (TBI):
[0234] After isoflurane anesthesia of rats, the scalp was incised 1.5 mm behind the right coronal suture and 2.5 mm lateral to the midline, and a 5-mm-diameter bone hole was drilled. Using a modified Feeney free-fall injury device, a 40-g hammer was dropped from 25 cm to impact the striker, with a 6-mm depth of impact, and the scalp was sutured. The control group of rats was sutured after the scalp was incised and drilled, and the hammer was not struck. Subsequently, the rats were administered drugs according to the grouping at the predetermined time, and the control group and the model group were administered the same amount of 0.5% CMC-Na solution.
[0235] Grouping and administration:
[0236] The rats were divided into 4 groups, 10 rats in each group, namely the control group, the model group, the CXT-24 10 mg / kg double-dose administration group, and the butylphthalide 200 mg / kg group. The administration method was oral gavage. The administration time of the control group, the model group, and the butylphthalide 200 mg / kg group was 0, 24, and 48 h after surgery, and the administration time of the CXT-24 10 mg / kg double-dose administration group was 0, 6, 24, 30, 48, and 54 h after surgery.
[0237] Neurobehavioral score:
[0238] Behavioral observation was performed at 24, 48, and 72 h after modeling, and the evaluation method was mNSS score.
[0239] Rotarod test:
[0240] Rotarod test was performed at 0 h before modeling, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after modeling to evaluate the motor ability of rats. The rats were placed on the rotarod apparatus, the initial speed was 5 rpm, and the speed was uniformly accelerated to 25 rpm within 180 s. The longest latency to fall was recorded, and each experiment was repeated 3 times and the average value was taken.
[0241] Inclusion and exclusion criteria for experimental animals
[0242] SD rats were used in this experiment to establish a traumatic brain injury model (TBI). The entire surgical (anesthesia) process took about 5 minutes per rat. All postoperative SD rats could drink water and eat freely after waking up from anesthesia. The main cause of death was intestinal distension during anesthesia, and the exclusion criteria included:
[0243] (1) SD rats died within 24 h after surgery due to intestinal distension during anesthesia;
[0244] (2) SD rats did not meet the experimental standards.
[0245] Statistical method
[0246] All data were analyzed by Graph Prism 8.0.1, and all results were expressed as mean ± SD. The differences between groups were compared by t test, and P < 0.05 was considered to be significant.
[0247] Results:
[0248] (1) Effect of compound CXT-24 on motor function of SD rats after traumatic brain injury
[0249] The model rats showed a significant decrease in the falling time of the rotating rod (62.46 ± 11.58 s) 24 h after brain injury, which was significantly different from the control group (P < 0.001), indicating that the TBI model in this experiment caused a significant impairment of motor function in rats. After administration of CXT-24 10 mg / kg, the motor function of rats was significantly improved, and the falling time was 85.70 ± 21.30 s, which was significantly increased compared with the model group (P < 0.01); the falling time of the butylphthalide 200 mg / kg group was 69.26 ± 27.43, which showed no significant difference compared with the model group.
[0250] At 72 h after brain injury, the falling time of the rotating rod of the model rats was 114.95 ± 15.89 s, which was significantly lower than that of the control group at 72 h after brain injury (P < 0.001), indicating that the TBI model in this experiment caused impairment of motor function in rats. After administration of CXT-24 (10 mg / kg), the falling time of the rotating rod of rats was increased compared with the model group, but there was no statistical difference, and the falling time was 133.21 ± 24.72 s (P = 0.06); the falling time of the butylphthalide 200 mg / kg group was 118.47 ± 37.93 s, which showed no significant difference compared with the model group. The above results suggest that the CXT-24 10 mg / kg group can protect the motor function injury caused by TBI at 24 h after operation.

[0252] (2) Effect of compound CXT-24 on behavioral deficits of SD rats after brain injury
[0253] The mNSS score was used to determine the behavior score of rats after brain injury. The results showed that the neurological impairment score of model rats increased significantly (7.30±1.06) 24 hours after brain injury, and there was a significant difference compared with the control group (P<0.001), indicating that the TBI model in this experiment caused significant damage to the neurological function of rats. After administration of CXT-24 10 mg / kg, the score was 7.70±0.95; the score of the butylphthalate 200 mg / kg group was 7.80±1.03; compared with the neurological impairment score of model rats, no significant difference was found.
[0254] After 72 hours of brain injury, the neurological impairment score of model rats was 7.50±1.27. Compared with the control group, the neurological impairment score of model rats at 72 hours after brain injury was still significantly increased, and there was a significant difference (P<0.001), indicating that the TBI model in this experiment caused damage to the neurological function of rats. After administration of CXT-24 10 mg / kg, the neurological impairment score of rats was significantly reduced, with a score of 6.40±0.70, which had a significant difference compared with the model group (P<0.05); the butylphthalate 200 mg / kg group was slightly lower than the model group, but did not reach statistical difference. It is suggested that the CXT-24 10 mg / kg group can protect the neurological impairment caused by TBI at 72 hours after operation.

[0256] Example 8 Effect of compound on survival rate of SK-N-SH cells induced by hydrogen peroxide damage
[0257] Experimental grouping
[0258] A blank control group, a hydrogen peroxide damage model group, and a hydrogen peroxide damage + test drug group (neuroprotective agent screening group) were set up.
[0259] Experimental process
[0260] (1) SK-N-SH cells were inoculated in 96-well culture plates at a density of 6.5×10 4
[0261] (2) After the cells adhere to the wall, change the liquid medium, add 100 μl of complete culture medium to the control group, add 90 μl of complete culture medium to the model group, and add 80 μl of complete culture medium to the neuroprotective agent screening group. Add 10 μl of 100 μM of the compound to be screened to the neuroprotective agent screening group. Then add 10 μl of 15 mM of hydrogen peroxide to the model group and the neuroprotective agent screening group. Set 6 replicates for each group, and repeat the experiment 9 times;
[0262] (3) Incubate the cells in a cell incubator at 37°C for 4 h;
[0263] (4) Add MTT (5 mg / ml) at 10 μl / well, and continue to react at 37°C for 4 h;
[0264] (5) Discard the culture medium in the 96-well plate, and add 150 μl of DMSO to each well. After gentle blowing, make the crystalline product fully dissolved. Detect the optical density (OD) value of each well on an enzyme marker at a wavelength of 570 nm. The size of the detected OD value can reflect the cell survival rate of each drug to be screened. Determine the compound having a certain protective effect on the damage model to enter the re-screening.
[0265] Calculate the relative cell survival rate value of each group
[0266] (1) First, calculate the cell survival rate of the model group:
[0267] (Model group OD value / control group OD value) x 100%
[0268] (2) Then, calculate the cell survival rate of each drug relative to the model group:
[0269] (Screening group cell survival rate-model group cell survival rate) / model group cell survival rate x 100%
[0270] Statistical method
[0271] The statistical processing adopts the T-test analysis method. P<0.05 is a significant difference.

[0278] (3) Forced swimming test of rats
[0279] Pre-swimming stage (adaptation stage): the rats were placed in the water tank and swam for 15min. In the first 2-3min, the rats swam or climbed constantly, trying to escape from the water, then the activity decreased, and the state of inactivity or floating appeared intermittently, which was called despair behavior, and the duration of this behavior increased, and the duration of this behavior reached the peak at 5-6min after entering the tank, and the inactivity time accounted for about 80% in the remaining time. After the pre-test, the rats were taken out, wiped with a dry towel, and placed in a drying cage. After the pre-swimming of the next group of animals was completed, the previous group was returned to the feeding cage; all rats were pre-swimming in turn. Test stage: 24h after the pre-test, the formal experiment was carried out, and the rats were placed in the tank again. The cumulative inactivity time of the rats within 5min was observed and recorded; the drug was given 30min before the experiment.

[0306] Experimental method:
[0307] Preparation of bilateral common carotid artery occlusion model (BCCAO) in rats:
[0308] Male SD rats weighing 230-250 grams were placed in a cage of 5 rats each, and the room temperature was maintained at 23°C with free access to food and water. The rats were anesthetized with a Ruiweide general-purpose small animal anesthetic machine (1.5%-2.5% isoflurane), the body temperature was maintained at 37±0.5°C, and the rats were fixed in a supine position on the operating table. The left and right common carotid arteries were exposed through a midline incision in the neck and ligated. The blood supply of the middle cerebral artery was blocked. At the same time, the middle cerebral artery opening was ligated and 5 drops of gentamicin were added, and the incision was sutured and placed back in the cage. The room temperature was maintained at 23-25°C throughout the procedure. During the entire operation, the rats were placed on a heating plate at 37°C to maintain body temperature. On the day after the operation, 5 mL of sugar saline was supplemented per rat, and 5 mL of sugar saline was supplemented per rat in the morning and evening on the second and third days.
[0309] Experimental grouping and administration
[0310] The rats were randomly grouped by weight 7 days after surgery, and divided into 5 groups, 14 rats in each group, namely, sham operation group (control group), solvent CMC-Na group (model group), CXT-24 3 mg / kg group, CXT-24 10 mg / kg group, CXT-24 30 mg / kg group and butylphthalate group 200 mg / kg group, all of which were orally administered by gavage.
[0311] Morris water maze experiment
[0312] Morris water maze experiment: The device is composed of a circular pool, a hidden platform, a camera system and a trajectory analysis system. The diameter of the mouse pool is usually 90-120 cm, the pool is about 0.5 m high, and the inner surface is made of non-reflective material. The pool is divided into four quadrants by four equidistant points on the pool wall, and the hidden platform is placed in the center of one of the quadrants, with a diameter of 10-12 cm, located 1-2 cm below the liquid surface. The liquid surface is turned white by pouring 100 g of titanium dioxide, and the camera system and trajectory analysis system use Shanghai Xinsoft Supermaze+ and its attached image acquisition system.
[0313] Morris water maze experiment includes two stages of positioning navigation and spatial exploration. The positioning navigation experiment lasts for 5 days, and each day is trained twice. Each training puts the animals into the water from an arbitrary quadrant facing the pool wall and starts timing, and lasts for 60 s. If the animal successfully finds the platform within 60 s, it will stay on the platform for 30 s. Otherwise, the experimenter needs to guide it to find the platform and stay for the same time. The spatial exploration experiment is usually carried out 24 hours after the last training. Remove the hidden platform, and put the animals into the pool from the opposite side of the original platform quadrant. Record the number of times the animals cross the original platform location within 60 s, and the time spent in the original platform quadrant, etc. for analysis. After the spatial exploration experiment, put in the platform and mark the platform for visible platform experiment. Put the animals into the four quadrants in turn, and record the time and path of the animals to find the platform, to exclude the influence of vision and swimming speed on finding the platform.
[0314] Statistical method:
[0315] The data were processed by SPSS statistical analysis software and expressed as mean ± standard error (mean ± SEM). Two-way ANOVA and one-way ANOVA analysis were used, and P<0.05 was considered to be significantly different.
[0316] Experimental results:
[0317] 1. Positioning navigation experiment
[0318] (1) Escape latency: With the increase of training days, the escape latency of rats in each group gradually shortened, indicating that rats could learn to find the hidden platform. Compared with the model group, the escape latency of rats in CXT-24 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg treatment groups and batroxobin 200 mg / kg group was significantly shortened, among which the effect of 30 mg / kg treatment group was the most significant.
[0319] (2) Swimming path: The swimming path of rats in the sham operation group gradually tended to be straight, indicating that their spatial learning and memory ability was good. Compared with the model group, the swimming path of rats in CXT-24 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg treatment groups and batroxobin 200 mg / kg group tended to be straight, among which the effect of 30 mg / kg treatment group was the most significant, indicating that their spatial learning and memory ability was enhanced.
[0320] 2. Spatial exploration experiment
[0321] (1) Latency to find platform: The results of spatial exploration experiment showed that the latency to find platform of rats in the sham operation group was 22.14±5.45, the number of platform crossing of rats in the solvent control group was 45.84±5.51, and the number of platform crossing of rats in different dose CXT-24 (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg) and batroxobin (200 mg / kg) treatment groups was 35.33±5.14, 31.90±6.20, 24.73±5.84 and 22.49±4.08, respectively. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the 30 mg / kg dose group of compound CXT-24 and the solvent control group (p<0.05). It is suggested that giving compound CXT-24 has a certain improvement effect on cognitive impairment of SD rats after chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.

[0323] (2)Cross-platform times: Spatial exploration experiment results showed that the number of times of crossing the platform for the sham operation group was 2.0 ± 0.37, and the number of times of crossing the platform for the solvent control group was 0.57 ± 0.23. The number of times of crossing the platform for the rats in the treatment groups given different doses of CXT-24 (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg) and butylphthalide (200 mg / kg) was 1.00 ± 0.23, 1.43 ± 0.43, 2.00 ± 0.41, and 2.08 ± 0.35, respectively. The results showed that the 30 mg / kg dose group of compound CXT-24 had a significant difference compared with the solvent control group (p < 0.05). It is suggested that giving compound CXT-24 has a certain improvement effect on cognitive impairment caused by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in SD rats.

[0325] (3) Target quadrant residence time: Spatial exploration experiment results showed that the target quadrant residence time for the sham operation group was 22.90 ± 2.77, and the target quadrant residence time for the solvent control group was 13.97 ± 1.77. The target quadrant residence time for the rats in the treatment groups given different doses of CXT-24 (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg) and butylphthalide (200 mg / kg) was 14.32 ± 1.85, 20.95 ± 2.03, 21.19 ± 1.76, and 15.22 ± 1.74, respectively. The results showed that the target quadrant residence time of the 10 mg / kg and 30 mg / kg dose groups of compound CXT-24 increased significantly compared with the solvent control group, and the effect of the 30 mg / kg dose group was more significant (p = 0.078). It is suggested that giving compound CXT-24 has a certain improvement effect on cognitive impairment caused by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in SD rats. Table 20.

[0329] Example 12: Effect of 3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, 30 mg / kg doses of CXT-24 on the novel object recognition behavior of rats in a chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model.
[0330] Experimental materials and methods:
[0331] The novel object recognition test (NOR) is a classic behavioral experiment for evaluating the recognition memory ability of rodents. Based on the natural tendency of rodents to explore novel objects, the experiment compares the exploration time of familiar objects and novel objects to evaluate the recognition memory ability of animals.
[0332] Experimental device: a square open box (60 cm x 60 cm x 40 cm) made of opaque material, the bottom is divided into 16 equal-sized squares. Two new and old objects are placed inside, and a camera system and trajectory analysis system are used, Shanghai Xinsoft Supermaze+ and its attached image acquisition system.
[0333] Experimental procedure: One hour before the experiment, rats were moved to the experimental room to acclimate to the environment. The experimental apparatus and objects were wiped with 75% alcohol to remove odor interference. On the first day, rats were placed in the open field box for 5 minutes of free exploration. After the acclimation phase, rats were returned to their home cages. On the second day, two identical objects (Al and A2) were placed symmetrically in the open field box, 10 cm from the walls of the box. Rats were placed in the open field box for 10 minutes of free exploration. The time spent exploring each object (nose touching the object or less than 2 cm from the object) was recorded. After the familiarization phase, rats were returned to their home cages. On the third day, one of the familiar objects (Al) was replaced with a novel object (B), and the position remained unchanged. Rats were placed in the open field box for 10 minutes of free exploration. The time spent exploring each object was recorded. After the test phase, rats were returned to their home cages. The time spent exploring the novel object (B) and the familiar object (A2) during the test phase was calculated. The recognition index (RI) was calculated as follows: RI = (TB-TA2) / (TB+TA2) x 100%, where TB is the time spent exploring the novel object, and TA2 is the time spent exploring the familiar object.
[0334] Statistical methods:
[0335] All data were analyzed using Graph Prism 8.0.1, and all results were expressed as mean ± standard error (mean ± SEM). Statistical analysis was performed using t-test to compare differences between groups. P<0.05 was considered to be a significant difference.
[0336] Experimental results:
[0337] Effect of CXT-24 at doses of 3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, and 30 mg / kg on the novel object recognition behavior of rats with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model
[0338] The novel object recognition index of the sham-operated group of rats with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model was (59.97 ± 3.56)%, and the novel object recognition index of the solvent control group of rats was (54.68 ± 2.45)%. After treatment with different doses of CXT-24 (3 mg / kg, 10 mg / kg, and 30 mg / kg) and dl-3-butylphthalide (200 mg / kg), the novel object recognition indexes were (63.28 ± 2.85)%, (63.31 ± 3.21)%, (50.78 ± 4.03)%, and (64.93 ± 3.78)%, respectively. The novel object recognition indexes of the CXT-24 3 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg treatment groups increased, with the most significant increase in the 3 mg / kg group (p<0.05), indicating that the compound CXT-24 has a certain effect on improving the cognitive ability of rats with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model

[0343] Experimental process
[0344] Liquid nitrogen grinding of tissue protein: The half brain tissue of the rat was ground in liquid nitrogen, and the mortar, spatula, and EP tube were pre-cooled. The rat brain tissue stored at -80°C was placed in the mortar, and one spoonful of liquid nitrogen was added for immediate grinding. The process was repeated three times. After the rat brain tissue was completely ground into powder and mixed evenly, it was loaded into a pre-cooled EP tube and stored at -80°C.
[0345] Protein quantification: 50 mg of ground brain tissue was weighed and added to 200 μL / tube RIPA after cell sonication. The BCA protein concentration determination kit was used for protein quantification. According to the kit instructions, different concentrations of standard were added to the standard curve well at 25 μL / well. The sample was diluted 25 times with PBS, and 25 μL / well was added to the detection well. After 200 μL / well of detection solution A:B was added at a ratio of 1:50 and incubation at 37°C for 30 min, the absorbance value of each well at 562 nm was immediately detected by a microplate reader. The protein concentration was calculated according to the standard curve.
[0346] Western Blot: The extracted protein supernatant was mixed with 5X protein loading buffer and placed in boiling water for 10 min of boiling water bath. After denaturation, it was cooled to room temperature. Prepare 15% separating gel and 5% concentrated gel. The prepared gel was fixed to the electrophoresis tank, and the electrophoresis solution was poured into the reservoir. The prepared protein sample and marker were added to the loading well. After loading, constant voltage electrophoresis was performed at 80V for 30 min, and then constant voltage electrophoresis was performed at 120V to the bottom of the gel, which took about 1.5h. The gel was removed and the target band was cut according to the marker. The same size PVDF membrane and filter paper as the gel were cut. The PVDF membrane was soaked in methanol for a few seconds and then soaked in the transmembrane buffer together with the filter paper. According to the black plate-fiber pad-filter paper-gel-PVDF membrane-filter paper-fiber pad-white plate, they were placed in turn, clamped and placed in the transmembrane instrument. Add enough transmembrane liquid to the transmembrane tank and start transmembrane. After transmembrane, remove the transmembrane clamp and soak the PVDF membrane in TBST containing 5% skim milk powder for 2h at room temperature. Dilute the corresponding primary antibody in blocking solution and incubate the PVDF membrane in the primary antibody incubation solution. Incubate overnight at 4°C. Wash the PVDF membrane with TBST for 3 times, 8 min each time. Dilute the corresponding HRP-labeled secondary antibody in blocking solution and incubate the PVDF membrane in the secondary antibody incubation solution. Incubate for 2h at 37°C on a shaker. Wash the PVDF membrane with TBST for 3 times, 8 min each time. Mix A and B liquids of ECL reagent at a ratio of 1:1, and drop the working solution onto the PVDF membrane. Place it in the developing instrument for development.

[0349] Experimental results
[0350] The effect of CXT-24 on the change of synaptophysin protein content in the brain tissue of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model rats, Western Blot results showed that the gray value statistics of the control group was 1.00±0.67, and the gray value statistics of the model group was 0.66±0.03. Compared with the control group, the synaptophysin protein level of the model group was significantly decreased (p<0.001). The gray value statistics of the 30mg / kg CXT-24 treatment group was 0.80±0.06, which was significantly increased compared with the protein content of the model group (p<0.05). It can be seen that CXT-24 treatment can significantly increase the synaptophysin protein content in the brain of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model rats, and play a therapeutic role by improving synaptic function.

[0373] Example 15: Improvement of cognitive dysfunction in APP / PS1-AD transgenic mice by compound CXT-24 in Morris water maze test and step-down test
[0374] 1. Animal grouping and administration
[0375] Animals: APP / PS1-AD transgenic mice and age-matched control WT mice were bred in our laboratory.
[0376] Grouping and administration: divided into 4 groups, WT solvent control group, n = 8, administered with solvent CMC-Na; APP / PS1 solvent control group, n = 12, administered with solvent CMC-Na; APP / PS1 CXT-24 10mg / kg group, n = 14, administered with CXT-24 10mg / kg; APP / PS1 CXT-24 20mg / kg group, n = 13, administered with CXT-24 20mg / kg. Each group was administered by gavage, the administration volume was 0.1mL / 10g, the administration started from 7 months old, 6 times a week, and the Morris water maze experiment and step-down test were performed at the 19th week of administration.
[0377] 2. Method
[0378] (1) Morris water maze experiment
[0379] The device of the Morris water maze experiment consists of a circular pool, a hidden platform, a camera system and a trajectory analysis system. The mouse pool is 120cm in diameter and is divided into 4 quadrants. The hidden platform is located in the center of one of the quadrants and is 12cm in diameter, located 1cm below the liquid surface. The water temperature in the pool is maintained at 23±1℃ during the experiment. Warm water dissolving titanium dioxide is poured into the pool to make the liquid surface white, which can form a sharp contrast with the black mouse. Adjust the light to make the camera positioning system accurately capture the mouse swimming path. The pool is covered with curtains around the pool, and a certain number of markers are set to provide reference for the mouse's own spatial exploration.
[0380] The Morris water maze experiment is divided into two stages: positioning navigation and spatial exploration. The positioning navigation experiment lasts for 7 days. The mouse is trained 4 times a day, and the mouse is put into the water from an arbitrary quadrant facing the pool wall and the timing starts. If the mouse successfully finds the hidden platform within 60s, the time is recorded as the escape latency, otherwise the latency is calculated as 60s. Whether the mouse finds the platform within 60s or not, it is allowed to stay on the platform for 30s at the end to deepen the memory of the platform position. The spatial exploration experiment is performed on the 8th day. At this time, the platform is removed, and the mouse is put into the water from the opposite quadrant of the previous platform position, and freely explores for 60s. The time spent in the original platform position and the number of times the mouse crosses the platform are recorded.
[0381] After the spatial exploration experiment, the cueing experiment is performed. At this time, the hidden platform is put back into the pool, and a small flag is fixed on it. It is observed whether the animal can directly locate the position of the hidden platform under the prompt of the small flag. If the animal fails to complete this task more than twice, it may have problems in vision, motor ability and escape motivation, etc. The animal is excluded.
[0382] (2) Step-down test
[0383] The apparatus of mouse step-down test consists of test box, electric grid and insulating step-down. The test box is composed of several square compartments with the bottom area of 10x10 cm. Several electric grids are arranged side by side under each compartment and connected with electric stimulator. A 4x4x4 cm insulating step-down is placed in the corner of each compartment for the mouse to avoid electric shock. The step-down test is divided into three stages: adaptation, training and test. On the first day, the mouse is placed on the platform with the face to the corner and allowed to freely explore the compartment for 5 min to adapt to the environment. On the second day, the mouse is again placed on the insulating platform with the face to the corner, and the electric grid is turned on with 62 V and 0.8 mA current. When the mouse jumps off the insulating platform and touches the electric grid with the limbs, it will be shocked. The mouse must jump back to the platform to avoid injury. The training period lasts for 3 min, and the number of electric shocks received by each mouse is recorded. If the number is less than 3, the mouse is pushed off the step-down platform in the last minute to ensure that the number of electric shocks is at least 3 to ensure the training effect. On the third day, the mouse is again placed on the insulating platform, and the time for the mouse to jump off the platform for the first time is observed and recorded as the step-down latency. The number of times the mouse jumps off the platform during the test period is recorded as the error number. After each group of operations, 75% alcohol is sprayed to remove the odor.

[0387] (1) Compound CXT-24 can improve the cognitive dysfunction of APP / PS1 mice in the Morris water maze and step-down test
[0388] The results show that, in the Morris water maze experiment, compared with the WT Control group, the APP / PS1 Control group showed obvious spatial memory impairment, the escape latency in the seven-day positioning navigation training was significantly increased, the number of platform crossings in the spatial exploration stage was significantly reduced, and the platform crossing latency was significantly increased; and after administration, the spatial memory impairment of the APP / PS1 mice was improved to a certain extent, the escape latency in the seven-day positioning navigation training was significantly reduced, the number of platform crossings in the spatial exploration stage was significantly increased, and the platform crossing latency was significantly reduced. In the step-down test, compared with the WT Control group, the latency of the APP / PS1 Control group to jump off the insulating platform was significantly shortened, and the number of errors was significantly increased; after administration, the latency of the APP / PS1 mice to jump off the insulating platform was significantly increased, the number of errors was significantly reduced, and the learning and memory impairment was significantly improved.
[0389] In summary, the results of the present embodiment suggest that compound CXT-24 can improve the cognitive dysfunction of APP / PS1 mice in the Morris water maze and step-down test.

[0391] 1. Preparation of mouse brain tissue frozen sections
[0392] After the animal behavior experiment in Example 1 was completed, the sample was taken. The mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 10% chloral hydrate, and the brain was taken by heart perfusion and decapitation. Half of the brain was fixed in 4% PFA solution for 24 hrs, and then dehydrated in 10%-20%-30% sucrose solution gradient. The soaking volume of PFA and sucrose solution should be at least 5 times the volume of the mouse half brain. After the brain tissue was settled in the 30% sucrose solution, the half brain was taken out and embedded with OCT embedding agent, and stored at -80℃. The embedded half brain was taken out from the -80℃ refrigerator and fixed on the sample holder of the freezing microtome with the help of OCT embedding agent. Adjust the temperature of the freezing microtome box, the temperature of the sample holder and the angle of the sample holder. The embedded brain tissue was cut into sagittal sections with a thickness of 8 μm. The brain slices with complete hippocampal development were collected and flattened on glass slides and stored at -80℃.
[0393] 2. Methods
[0394] (1) Immunofluorescence staining
[0395] The frozen sections were taken out from -80 °C, and after 15 min of equilibration at room temperature, they were rinsed with PBS for 3 times, 3 min each time. The sections were incubated with 10% blocked sheep serum (containing 0.5% Triton-X100 to increase membrane permeability) for 1 hrs to block non-specific binding sites. The appropriate dilution of the primary antibody (prepared in PBS) was added, and the sections were incubated at 4 °C overnight. The primary antibody was discarded, and the sections were rinsed in PBS for 3 times, 3 min each time. The fluorescent secondary antibody was added at a dilution of 1:200, and the sections were incubated at 37 °C for 1 h in the dark. The secondary antibody was discarded, and the Hoechst staining solution was added at a dilution of 1:10000, and the sections were incubated at 37 °C for 15 min in the dark. The sections were rinsed in PBS for 3 times, 3 min each time. The sections were passed through water once, and 90% glycerol was added to the tissue, and a cover glass was added, and nail polish was used to seal the cover glass.
[0396] (2) Fluorescence microscope observation
[0397] The Aβ plaques in the hippocampus and cortex regions of the brain tissue sections, as well as the activation of astrocytes and microglia cells, were observed under 4 and 10 times objectives. Five animals in each group were subjected to immunofluorescence staining of frozen sections, and five brain slices were taken for each animal. At least 4 fields of view were selected for each brain slice for imaging and counting. Image J software was used for image analysis and processing.
