Description

Use of alpha-methyl tyrosine or its derivative
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to application of alpha-methyl tyrosine or derivatives thereof.
Background
The technology of T cell therapy developed in recent years for expressing a tumor-specific chimeric antigen receptor (Car) by using a genetic engineering technology has been rapidly advanced. Car T shows good killing activity, targeting property and durability in clinical and clinical tests, provides a new effective solution for treating tumors, shows huge application potential and development prospect, and is evaluated as the greatest research breakthrough in 2017 by the American clinical oncology society. The FDA approved the nova pharmaceutical kymoriah for treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in relapsed or refractory children and young adults on 31/8 in 2017, and a second CAR T therapy yescata on the market on 18/10 in 2017. The marketing of these products has made Car T cell therapy attractive to the world population.
The CAR-T cell technology is designed based on the principle that T cells do not need to rely on MHC molecules and Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs), a single chain antibody (scFv) recognizing a Tumor Associated Antigen (TAA), a transmembrane costimulatory domain (such as CD28 and CD4-1BB) and an activation motif of T cells are integrated, T lymphocytes are transfected by a gene transduction method, and genetically modified T cells enhance the ability to bind to tumor cells by expressing the single chain antibody, and simultaneously activate T cells, proliferate and activate their cytotoxic activity, thereby enabling them to specifically recognize and kill tumor cells.
Although Car T cell therapy has made great progress in the field of tumor therapy, it has major side effects during the course of therapy: such as Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, off-target effects, and the like. Among them, CRS is currently the most common and serious side effect of immune reaction after CAR-T cell injection, and can cause significant increase in blood cytokine levels, fever, headache, diarrhea, nausea, tachycardia, hypotension, hypoxia, seizure, confusion, and the like, and in severe cases, can cause multiple organ failure and death of patients. The mechanism by which Car T causes the release of cytokines in large amounts is not well defined and may include overactivated Car-T cells, dead tumor cells, activated macrophages (and other innate immune cells) and vascular endothelial cells, among others. Currently, drugs for preventing and treating cytokine release syndrome in clinic are mainly tolizumab (tocilizumab) which is an antibody against interleukin 6(IL-6), etanercept (etanercept) which is an antibody against tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and the like. However, these antibodies are expensive and have very limited effectiveness.
Alpha-methyl tyrosine is a chemically synthesized tyrosine hydroxylase small-molecule inhibitor, and the structure of the alpha-methyl tyrosine is shown as a formula I.
Figure BDA0002007290570000021
It can restrict the synthesis of catecholamine substances by inhibiting the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase, but no report about the influence of alpha-methyl tyrosine on CRS is found.
