The disclosure herein relates to the development and production of novel antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind to TL1A and are useful in the treatment, prevention, and diagnosis of diseases, disorders, or inflammation, including, for example, autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, atopic dermatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, asthma, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, primary biliary cirrhosis, primary biliary cholangitis, ankylosing spondylitis, and fibrosis, including intestinal fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and liver fibrosis. Some of the elements of the final antibody structure are designed de novo by a computer system and its data training set, without reference to a particular reference molecule.

This invention relates to a novel use of synephrine in the preparation of drugs for treating cholestatic liver disease, belonging to the field of pharmaceutical technology. Cholestatic liver disease is characterized by jaundice and conjugated bilirubin and / or total bilirubin hyperconjugation caused by impaired bilirubin excretion due to various reasons. Its causes include common bile duct stones, pancreatic duct cancer, common bile duct malignant tumors, pancreatic cancer, biliary parasitic diseases, viral hepatitis cirrhosis, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, primary biliary cirrhosis, intrahepatic sclerosing cholangitis, and certain congenital diseases such as Dubin-Johnson syndrome and Rotor syndrome. This invention establishes a mouse cholestasis model using bile duct ligation and administers synephrine by gavage to evaluate its protective effect against liver injury. The results showed that synephrine significantly improved jaundice caused by cholestasis, reduced hepatocellular necrosis and inflammatory infiltration caused by cholestasis, alleviated bile duct dilation, decreased serum total bilirubin (TBIL) and direct bilirubin (DBIL), and reduced the levels of total bile acids (BA) in liver tissue and plasma. Furthermore, the above-mentioned effects of synephrine in improving cholestasis showed a clear dose-dependent effect. This invention reveals for the first time the application of synephrine in cholestatic liver disease, demonstrating good safety and promising clinical development prospects.
