HepG2-ARE-C8 cells were used, and when not induced by LPS, the ARE-inducing activity of the compound was examined after the prodrug/prodrug compound was added to act. In addition, cells were pretreated with LPS to generate endogenous ROS, and the effect was continued by adding a gradient prodrug compound to test ARE activity. As shown in fig. 4A, the prodrug had no significant ARE-inducing activity even at the highest concentrations when not activated, and Nrf2 was not activated when the prodrug was not released. After LPS induction, the prodrug releases original drug in cells, ARE induction activity is obviously enhanced, and Nrf2 can be effectively activated at a cellular level (as shown in figure 4B). Furthermore, the induction activity was shown to be enhanced in the concentration dependence of the original drug compound and LPS, and also time-dependent (see FIGS. 4C and 4D). In conclusion, the prodrug can be selectively activated by LPS (LPS) to generate ROS (reactive oxygen species), and active medicaments ARE released so as to activate a Keap1-Nrf2-ARE signal pathway.
3.2.2 LPS-induced prodrug-activated Nrf2 antioxidant System
mRNA levels of Nrf2 and regulatory genes, heme-oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glutamylcysteine ligase (GCLM) and NAD (P) H quinone oxidoreductase 1(NAD (P) H dehydrogenase, quinone 1, NQO-1), were determined by qRT-PCR. RAW264.7 cells were pretreated with LPS (10ng/mL), and the effect was continued by adding prodrug (500nM), and then the gene was detected using the qRT-PCR assay. As shown in fig. 5A-D, prodrug P-168 was able to significantly activate transcription of Nrf2 and its downstream genes under activation of endogenous ROS. Furthermore, protein levels of the above genes were detected by western blotting (fig. 5F), and the experimental results were consistent with mRNA levels of these genes, and LPS-induced prodrug activation significantly increased Nrf2 and downstream antioxidant enzyme protein levels, more potent than the parent drug at the same concentration. Subsequently, to continue to investigate the effect of the prodrug on antioxidant capacity under inflammatory conditions, the GSH/GSSG ratio was examined, an important marker indicative of oxidative stress. As shown in fig. 5E, exposure to LPS resulted in a large decrease in the GSH/GSSG ratio, indicating that LPS can cause oxidative stress, and the addition of prodrug P-168 can restore these indices to almost normal and exhibit concentration dependence.
3.2.3 prodrugs reduce LPS-induced inflammatory factor production in RAW264.7 cells
mRNA levels of IL-1 β and IL-6, which were inhibited by Nrf2, were measured using the qRT-PCR assay. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the expression of IL-1. beta. and IL-6mRNA in RAW264.7 cells was significantly increased after stimulation with 20ng/mL LPS for 8 h. Treatment with prodrug P-168 significantly inhibited the transcription of IL-1. beta. and IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells. Several inflammatory mediators closely related to ROS were subsequently evaluated by ELISA, including IL-1 β, IL-6, TNF- α and NO. All inflammatory factor levels were significantly increased after LPS treatment compared to the control group. The prodrug P-168 shows obvious advantages in inhibiting IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha production, and remarkably reduces the increase of extracellular NO concentration caused by LPS stimulation. In conclusion, the prodrug P-168 can be activated by ROS induced by LPS in RAW264.7 cells, and plays a remarkable role in cytoprotection and anti-inflammation.
In conclusion, it can be seen that:
1. the prodrug P-168 provided by the invention seals polar carboxylic acid groups of an active compound 168, improves fat solubility, and effectively improves membrane permeability and pharmacy;
2. the prodrug P-168 provided by the invention contains three functional fragments: (1) active compound 168, a Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitor with superior activity; (2) a coumarin fluorophore; (3) an ROS activatable phenylboronate group; the compound is reduced under the condition of high ROS, a pharmacophore 168 and a fluorescent group coumarin are released, the expression of Nrf2 and downstream genes thereof is activated, the anti-inflammatory activity is exerted, meanwhile, fluorescence is released to realize visual monitoring, and the reduction of fluorescence intensity indicates that inflammation is relieved;
3. the prodrug P-168 provided by the invention is coupled with H2O2Is more selective than other biologically relevant ROS (e.g., hydroxyl radical, t-butoxy radical, superoxide, hypochlorite anion, and t-butyl hydroperoxide), and H2O2Is the most typical ROS in inflammation, thus ensuring that the prodrug P-168 is not easily interfered with for the selectivity of the visible monitoring of inflammation.
The above-described embodiments are intended to be illustrative of the nature of the invention, but those skilled in the art will recognize that the scope of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.
