The invention belongs to the technical field of
medicine, and particularly relates to novel application of Plerixafor in preparation of drugs for treating or preventing diseases related to GSDMD
protein. The affinity between Plerixafor and the human GSDMD
protein is detected through an MST technology, and the effects of Plerixafor on the mortality of macrophages of humans and mice and
secretion amount of IL-1 beta
inflammatory factors and the
control effect of Plerixafor on mouse EAE and mouse
sepsis are evaluated through pharmacodynamic tests. It is shown that the mortality of macrophages ofhumans and mice can be reduced significantly by Plerixafor,
secretion of the IL-1 beta
inflammatory factors can be reduced, and Plerixafor has a high
binding force on the human GSDMD
protein; meanwhile, the symptoms of mouse EAE can be alleviated significantly, and the
survival rate of
sepsis model mice can be improved; and it is indicated that Plerixafor is a human GSDMD protein-targeting
drug, the symptoms of MS and
sepsis can be alleviated through prevention of
cell pyrolysis and inflammatory factor release, and therefore Plerixafor can be used as novel and optional drugs for prevention ortreatment of MS, sepsis and other autoimmune diseases and infectious inflammatory diseases, and has a broad development and application value.
