The invention belongs to the technical field of medical
chemistry, and particularly relates to a polycyclic
polyketone derivative as well as a preparation method and application thereof in treating
hepatic fibrosis. Six polycyclic
polyketone compounds are obtained from a
fungus M. arundinis HL1 separated from a marine sample in Huilaxian County, Guangdong Province, the series of compounds can significantly inhibit expression of FN,
Collagen I, alpha-SMA and other
fibrosis-
related factors in hepatic stellate cells LX-2, and the compound 2 has a significant inhibition effect at a concentration of 40 [mu] mol / L and has no significant
toxicity. And the compound 2 reduces the p-
Smad2 / 3 level through
dose dependence, does not influence the total
Smad2 / 3 level, and plays an anti-
fibrosis role by inhibiting a TGF-beta /
Smad signal channel. The series of compounds, especially the compound 2, are expected to become anti-
hepatic fibrosis candidate drugs, and provide a brand new chemical skeleton for research and development of low-
toxicity and high-efficiency anti-
hepatic fibrosis drugs.
