The application discloses THK01 and derivatives thereof, a preparation method and application of the THK01 and the derivatives in preparation of anti-inflammatory drugs, and relates to the following steps: a series of chemical reactions, including
Wittig reaction, Diels-
Alder reaction, Cadogan reaction, Fischer indole synthesis reaction,
demethylation reaction, reduction reaction and
click chemistry reaction, are carried out on ortho-nitrobenzaldehyde containing specific substituents, so that THK01 structural modification derivatives with different substituents are obtained. The THK01 structural modification derivatives are synthesized in various routes, and the reaction success rate is high.
In vitro and
in vivo experiments show that the compounds can significantly inhibit the production of NO and inflammatory reactions at a low concentration, and can effectively treat
inflammatory bowel disease and H1N1
virus-induced
acute pneumonia in an
animal model. The findings provide valuable candidate compounds and new treatment strategies for developing new, safe and efficient anti-inflammatory drugs.
