The present application relates to the application of open-cage
borane compounds in the preparation of immunosuppressants, belonging to the technical field of biological
medicine. The open-cage
borane compounds of the present application include
nest borane compounds and / or
spider web borane compounds, and the pharmaceutically acceptable solvates or pharmaceutically acceptable complexes of the
nest borane compounds and the
spider web borane compounds. The open-cage
boron clusters of the present application have
dehydrogenase-like activity, can catalyze the
dehydrogenation reaction of hydroxyl-containing organic substrates in a
biological system, promote the conversion of NAD(P) + to NAD(P)H, further improve the
intracellular oxidation-
reduction ratio, induce
cell redox stress, and further reshape the metabolic pattern of HSCs from the source, promote the differentiation of immune cells to immunosuppressive
phenotype, and play an immunosuppressive role.
