1 results about "Endothelial cell apoptosis" patented technology

This invention discloses a mitochondrial uncoupling agent prodrug with endothelial cell targeting, its preparation method, and its application, relating to the field of biomedical technology. The prodrug is covalently coupled to a vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 targeting polypeptide (amino acid sequence FAKELMEEFEKW), a reactive oxygen species-sensitive thioacetate linker, and the mitochondrial uncoupling agent OPC-163493. This invention utilizes the active enrichment effect of the targeting polypeptide on inflamed pulmonary vascular endothelial cells, overcoming the off-target defects of non-specific distribution in existing small molecule drugs; simultaneously, it utilizes the specific cleavage characteristics of the thioacetate linker in a microenvironment rich in reactive oxygen species to achieve precise in-situ drug release. This prodrug can effectively reduce mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation, inhibit endothelial cell apoptosis, significantly reduce pulmonary vascular permeability, and alleviate pulmonary edema, possessing significant clinical application value in the preparation of drugs for treating acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome.
