Background technology
Cyclic nucleotide (cAMP and cGMP) is second message,second messenger important in cell, in various cell, regulate many biological activitys, comprise cells grown, break up and divide a word with a hyphen at the end of a line, various biological respinses that gene expression, medium secretion, smooth muscle contraction, neurotransmitter cause, nerve synapse function, lipid and saccharic metabolism etc.Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (phosphodiesterases, PDE) is the only intracellular breakdown approach of cyclic nucleotide, and thus PDE inhibitor is by hindering the decomposition of cyclic nucleotide, thus regulates a series of biological function.PDE extended familys comprise l1 family (PDE1-11) altogether, there is different cAMP and/or cGMP specificity [ FRANCISSH, TURKOIV, CORBINJD.Cyclicnucleotidephosphodiesterases:relatingstru ctureandfunction.ProgNucleicAeidResMolBio, 2001,65:1-52. ].The distribution in vivo (expression in tissue and cell) of PDE is different.The mankind have 44 kinds of PDE at least, wherein PDE4 plays particular importance [ CONTIM in inflammation and immunomodulating, JINSLC.Themolecularbiologyofcyclicnucleotidephosphodiest emses.ProgNucleicAcidResMolBiol, 1999,63:1-38. ].
PDE4 inhibitor can be used as a kind of new medicine and is used for the treatment of the respiratory tract disease caused by inflammation, as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronicobstructivepulmonarydisease, COPD).
Asthma is a kind of respiratory mucosa inflammation, it is characterized in that eosinophils, and TH2 increases relative to TH1 quantity, and the Amount of Mast Cells of activation increases and respiratory tract structure changes.The most effective Therapeutic Method sucks β 2-AR agonist and 17-hydroxy-11-dehydrocorticosterone at present, and this can control the disease of about 95%, but once stop treatment symptom to there will be again.There will be serious glucocorticoid dependence and opposing symptom in addition.PDE4 inhibitor can suppress recruitment and the activation of related inflammation cell, suppress Constituent cell as asm cell, the hypertrophy of epithelial cell and sensation and cholinergic nerve cell and loose [ BarnesPJ.Newdrugsforasthma.NatRevDrugDiscov, 2004,3 (10): 831-44. ].
COPD is the chronic inflammatory disease of a kind of bronchus and pulmonary, this inflammation is because the effect of various protease is as neutrophil elastase (neutrophilelastase, and matrix metalloproteinase (matrixmetalloproteinases NE), MMPs), bronchiolitis and emphysema are shown as.COPD is different from asthma, and its inflammation is by macrophage, neutrophilic granulocyte and CD8
+t lymphocyte causes, and therefore the treatment of COPD focuses on the antagonism of recruitment activation and their products suppressing these cells.Current medicine is very ineffective.PDE4 inhibitor can suppress inflammatory cell, stop the release of proinflammatory medium, improve the release of Anti-inflammatory mediator, reduce ASM cell mitogen, reduce bronchoconstriction, thus play the effect [BarnesPJ.COPD:istherelightattheendofthetunnel .CurrOpinPharmacol, 2004,4 (3): 263-72] for the treatment of COPD.In addition, tissue injury is relevant with the overexpression of MMPs, recent research shows that pro-MMP-1 and pro-MMP-2 that PDE4 inhibitor can suppress to be induced by TNF α effectively secretes [SotoFJ, HananiaNA.Selectivephosphodiesterase-4inhibitorsinchroni cobstructivelungdisease.CurrOpinPulmMed, 2005,11 (2): 129-34].
PDE4 inhibitor can be used as a kind of new medicine and is used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel (IBD), IBD mainly comprises ulcerative colitis (ulcerativecolitis, and clone disease (Crohn'sdisease UC), CD), the two pathogenesis is substantially identical with clinical symptoms, and medicine is also similar.
IBD is the Mucosal Immunity abnormal response caused by many factors.Current treatment is with aminosalicylate and steroid, but this treatment side effect is strong and have steroid leptin suppression.It is effective that experiment shows that PDE4 inhibitor is used for the treatment of IBD in animal model.Inflammation itself can cause tissue injury to change the contraction of blood vessel and intestinal smooth muscle, causes the blood flow of mucosa to reduce, finally causes the permeability of enteric cavity to be lost.This causes stream in intestinal contents, causes inflammatory reaction further, reduces Mucosal blood flow, and tissue injury aggravates.Much mechanism causes the blood flow flowing to intestinal to change: the mucosa angiemphraxis 1. caused by microthrombus; 2. the vasodilation ability caused by proinflammatory medium reduces; 3. the blood vessel caused by proinflammatory medium and intestinal smooth muscle constriction; 4. the vasoconstriction that the intestinal smooth muscle abnormal contraction caused by inflammatory mediator causes.PDE4 inhibitor can improve the above-mentioned situation except 1., improve blood flow, cAMP level can be increased thus the release of suppression proinflammatory medium, make intestinal and relaxing the VSM, thus suppress tissue injury [ BannerKH, TrevethickMA.PDE4inhibition:anovelapproachforthetreatmen tofinflammatoryboweldisease.TrendsPharmacolSci, 2004,25 (8): 430-6 ].
Except above-mentioned disease, PDE4 inhibitor also demonstrates activity in vivo on the animal model of other inflammation, as acute lung injury, septicemia, arthritis, dermatosis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory pain, osteoporosis, kidney disease, allograft rejection reaction and systemic lupus erythematosus etc.
Radix Arnebiae (Radix Lithospermi) is conventional Chinese medicine, and be Boraginaceae herbaceos perennial, Yin Qigen is that purple is gained the name, and is recorded in Shennong's Herbal the earliest, has clearing away heat and cooling blood, invigorate blood circulation, effect of removing toxic substances rash.

Asthmatic rats model has successfully been prepared in this research, research finds, in experimental rat model of asthma acute stage lung tissue, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 produce and increase, and IFN-γ produces minimizing, with neutrophilic granulocyte, lymphocyte, eosinophils, IgE synthesis increases; And gastric infusion Radix Arnebiae (Radix Lithospermi) treatment group (III, IV, V) can reduce the generation of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 in Asthmatic Rat Lung, promote the generation of IFN-γ, alleviate neutrophilic granulocyte, lymphocyte, eosinophils, IgE is synthesized reduce, obviously alleviate rat asthma attack degree.After gastric infusion Radix Arnebiae (Radix Lithospermi), Th cell regulating factor IL-4 declines, and IFN-γ rises, and prompting Radix Arnebiae (Radix Lithospermi) may stop Th0 cell differentiation to be Th2 cell, promotes that Th0 cell differentiation is Thl cell; The generation of IL-5, IL-13 and IgE reduces prompting Radix Arnebiae (Radix Lithospermi) and can also regulate inflammatory reaction, alleviates the generation of I type allergy.
In sum, Radix Arnebiae extract and alkannin derivatives can alleviate airway inflammation, reduce airway hyperreactivity, thus reach the object of control asthma attack.
