Background
The eutectic solvent is a eutectic mixture formed by a hydrogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor in a certain stoichiometric ratio through hydrogen bond action, has the characteristics of simple preparation, low vapor pressure, good solubility and conductivity, reusability, strong designability, biodegradability and the like, and is often used as a novel green solvent. Since the first report in 2003, the Chinese medicinal composition is gradually favored by researchers. It is worth mentioning that the eutectic solvent can adjust the nucleation and growth rate of the material synthesis process, so that it is of great interest in the field of material synthesis. According to investigation, no report related to the synthesis of a nano material, in particular to the synthesis of a cerium oxide-cobalt hydroxide composite nano material, by using a eutectic solvent composed of L-proline and cerium nitrate hexahydrate is found at present.
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a chronic degenerative disease of the nervous system, one of the world's ten killers '. Clinically, the overall dementia such as dysmnesia, aphasia, disuse, agnosia, impairment of visual spatial skills, dysfunction in execution, and personality and behavior changes are characterized, and the etiology is unknown. Studies have shown that a key symptom of the disease is a reduction in the synthesis of the neurochemical transmitter acetylcholine. However, acetylcholinesterase is a key hydrolase of acetylcholine, and abnormal fluctuations in acetylcholinesterase can directly affect acetylcholine metabolism, thereby disrupting neurotransmission in the brain. Therefore, acetylcholinesterase is regarded as an important target for screening anti-Alzheimer disease drugs at present, and the rapid, high-sensitivity and high-selectivity detection of acetylcholinesterase is very important. Meanwhile, the use of drugs for inhibiting excessive acetylcholinesterase activity will contribute to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases represented by alzheimer's disease. Most of the currently available therapeutic drugs for Alzheimer's disease patients are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as aricept, donepezil, galantamine, tacrine, rivastigmine, etc. Although the above enzyme inhibitor drugs can alleviate or relieve the symptoms of diseases to a certain extent clinically, these drugs also have the defects of weak pharmaceutical activity, high price of imported drugs, obvious side effects, easy occurrence of drug resistance of patients and the like, so that the requirements of treatment cannot be met. The natural products (such as plants, traditional Chinese medicines and the like) have the characteristics of rich resources, safety, effectiveness, environmental friendliness, small toxic and side effects and the like, and are one of the important sources of natural enzyme inhibitors. Therefore, screening enzyme inhibitors from natural products has become an important strategy for the development of new drugs.
In summary, the problem to be solved by the skilled person is how to provide a method for green synthesis of cerium oxide-cobalt hydroxide composite material in eutectic solvent and for rapid, highly sensitive and highly selective detection of acetylcholinesterase and screening of natural inhibitors.

FIG. 1 shows CeO obtained in example 1 of the present invention2-Co(OH)2XRD pattern of the composite. From the figureIt can be seen that the material has CeO present at 2 θ = 28.7, 33.2, 47.6, 56.6, 59.6 and 69.6 °2(PDF cards: 4-593) crystal planes (111), (200), (220), (311), (222) and (400). Meanwhile, co (oh) exists at 2 θ =19.0, 32.6, 37.9, 51.5, 57.9 and 61.6 °2(PDF cards: 3-913) of (001), (100), (101), (102), (110) and (111). The material was confirmed to be CeO2-Co(OH)2A composite material.
FIG. 2 shows CeO prepared by the present invention2-Co(OH)2SEM (A) and TEM images (B) of the composite material. It can be seen that the material is a sheet structure.
FIG. 3 shows CeO obtained by the present invention2-Co(OH)2EDX picture of composite material. As can be seen from the energy spectrum, the material consists of three elements, namely Ce, O and Co.
FIG. 4 shows CeO obtained by the present invention2-Co(OH)2Dark field STEM maps (a) of the composite material and elemental maps (B-G) of the corresponding elements in the material. Wherein B: O-K; c: Co-K; d: Co-L; e: Ce-K, F, Ce-L and G, Ce-M. From the graphs B-G, it can be seen that the material mainly comprises three elements Ce, Co and O, and this result is completely consistent with fig. 3.
III, CeO2-Co(OH)2Composite material for detecting acetylcholinesterase
And (3) incubating the thiocholine compound (sulfobutylcholine, thioacetyl choline or thiopropionyl choline) and acetylcholinesterase with different concentrations for 30-60 min at 37 ℃. Then adding a certain volume of acetate buffer solution, 3',5,5' -Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and the prepared CeO2-Co(OH)2After the composite material is uniformly mixed by vortex, incubating for 5-40 min at room temperature, and testing the absorbance value of the solution at 652 nm, and recording as A2. In the control group, no acetylcholinesterase was added, the same volume of phosphate buffer solution was used instead, and the other conditions were unchanged, and the absorbance value at 652 nm of the solution was measured and recorded as A1. Value of change in absorbance at 652 nm according to solution (Y = A)1-A2) And acetylcholinesterase concentrationThe linear relation of (A) can be used for quantitatively detecting the acetylcholinesterase.
The concentration of acetate buffer solution (composed of acetic acid and sodium acetate) is 0.1M, and the pH value range is 3.5-5.0; the concentration of the phosphate buffer solution (consisting of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, disodium hydrogen phosphate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate) is 100 mM, and the pH value range is 7.0-8.0.
FIG. 5 is a graph showing the visible absorption spectrum of the system after acetylcholinesterase was added to the system at different concentrations. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the absorbance value of the system at 652 nm gradually decreased with the increase of the concentration of acetylcholinesterase (from top to bottom, the concentrations of acetylcholinesterase are 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 mU/mL).
FIG. 6 is a linear relationship diagram between the variation of absorbance value of the system after adding acetylcholinesterase of different concentrations and the concentration of acetylcholinesterase. As can be seen from FIG. 6, there is a good linear relationship between the variation of the absorbance intensity at 652 nm of the system and the concentration of acetylcholinesterase (the concentration interval is 0.2-20 μ g/mL), and the linear regression equation is: y = 0.0801X + 0.296, R2= 0.992 (where Y is the change in the intensity of the absorbance of the system at 652 nm and X is the acetylcholinesterase concentration).
The detection limit =0.084 mU/mL of the method is calculated by taking 3 times of the standard deviation of the blank solution in 10 times as the signal-to-noise ratio, which shows that the method has a wider linear range and a lower detection limit.
FIG. 7 is a graph showing the absorbance intensity of the system after addition of acetylcholinesterase or other interferents. In the figure, the numbers 1 to 17 are as follows: control group, 10 mU/mL acetylcholinesterase, 100 mU/mL alpha-chymotrypsin, 100 mU/mL trypsin, 100 mU/mL lipase, 100 mU/mL pepsin, 100 mU/mL lysozyme, 100 mU/mL uricase, 100 mU/mL glucose oxidase, 0.1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin, 0.1M glucose, 10 mM histidine, 10 mM D-phenylalanine, 10 mM serine, 0.1M potassium ion, 0.1M calcium ion, and 0.1M magnesium ion. It can be seen from the figure that the absorbance value of the system is obviously reduced only in the presence of acetylcholinesterase, and other interferents do not influence the detection of acetylcholinesterase. The invention is proved to have good selectivity when detecting the acetylcholinesterase.
FIG. 8 is the preparation of paper-based acetylcholinesterase sensor and the visual detection of acetylcholinesterase. Firstly, CeO is added2-Co(OH)2The composite was fixed to a filter paper as a test paper, which was seen to be almost colorless. However, the test paper turned dark blue immediately after the TMB solution was applied as an ink drop to the test paper (fig. 8A). Then, a certain volume of analysis solution (containing acetylcholinesterase, thioacetylcholine and phosphate buffer solution) is dropped on the test paper, and it can be seen that the color of the test paper gradually changes from dark blue to light blue along with the increase of the concentration of acetylcholinesterase, so that a paper-based acetylcholinesterase sensor is constructed, and the visual detection of acetylcholinesterase can be realized (fig. 8B).
CeO2-Co(OH)2The mechanism of the composite material for detecting acetylcholinesterase is as follows: CeO (CeO)2-Co(OH)2The composite material has oxidase-like activity and can catalyze hydrogen peroxide to oxidize 3,3',5,5' -Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate blue oxidation state TMB (ox-TMB). However, when acetylcholinesterase and thioacetylcholine are present in the system, CeO is generated due to generation of thiocholine2-Co(OH)2The oxidase activity of (a) is inhibited, resulting in a gradual fading of the system colour with increasing acetylcholinesterase concentration. Based on the method, quantitative analysis and visual detection of acetylcholinesterase can be realized.
Tetra, CeO2-Co(OH)2Composite material for screening acetylcholinesterase inhibitor
Positive group: acetylcholinesterase, thioacetylcholine and 6 alkaloids (commercial acetylcholinesterase inhibitor-neostigmine bromide is selected as verification, and the other 5 alkaloids are derived from active ingredients of natural products, namely berberine hydrochloride, caffeine, camptothecin, evodiamine and matrine respectively) are incubated at 37 ℃ for 30-60 min. Then adding a certain volume of acetate buffer solution, 3',5,5' -tetramethyl benzidine (TMB) and CeO2-Co(OH)2A composite material. And after vortex mixing, incubating at room temperature for 5-40 min, and testing the absorbance value of the solution at 652 nm and recording as Ai.
Blank group: the same volume of phosphate buffer solution was used instead of alkaloid, other experimental conditions were identical to those of the positive group, and the absorbance value of the solution at 652 nm was measured and recorded as A.
Negative group: using phosphate buffer solution to replace alkaloid and acetylcholinesterase, the other experimental conditions are completely consistent with those of the positive group, and measuring the absorbance value of the solution at 652 nm, which is marked as A0。
The inhibition rates of six alkaloids were calculated (inhibition rate = inhibition rate)
) And median Inhibitory Concentration (IC)
50)。
Table 1 shows the inhibition rates of six alkaloids. It can be seen from the table that the commercial inhibitor neostigmine bromide has a significant inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase and is comparable to the value reported in the literature (ACS appl. mater. Interfaces 2013, 5, 3275-3280.). In addition, berberine hydrochloride in the five natural alkaloids has similar inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase to neostigmine bromide, and caffeine, camptothecin, evodiamine and matrine have relatively weak inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase. The results show that the berberine hydrochloride can be used as an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase.
FIG. 9 is a graph of inhibition curves corresponding to different concentrations of neostigmine bromide and berberine hydrochloride. Wherein the concentration corresponding to 50% inhibition is the half Inhibition Concentration (IC) of neostigmine bromide and berberine hydrochloride50) To obtain the IC of neostigmine bromide and berberine hydrochloride502.68 nM and 0.94. mu.M, respectively.
Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by alkaloids: three alkaloids of camptothecin, berberine hydrochloride and evodiamine with relatively high inhibition rate are taken as representatives, and the intermolecular binding mode of the three alkaloids and acetylcholinesterase is analyzed in detail through calculation. FIG. 10 shows acetylcholinesterase crystal protein (RCSB PDB ID: 1DX4), and it can be seen that the crystal protein 1DX4 contains small molecules, so the Binding pocket (Binding pocket) of the protein is clear and the position of the Binding pocket is reliable. Subsequently, molecular docking calculation of acetylcholinesterase and three alkaloids is carried out through molecular dynamics software Amber14 software, and the binding energy is obtained. FIG. 11 is the electrostatic surface focusing diagram (A-C) and the partial diagram (D-F) of the binding pocket of acetylcholinesterase and three small-molecule alkaloids of camptothecin, berberine hydrochloride and evodiamine. Of these, camptothecin, which has the smallest volume among the three alkaloids, can be inserted into proteins but does not fill the entire space, has the weakest binding ability, i.e., -7.65 kcal/mol (FIG. 11A, D). The berberine hydrochloride and the evodiamine have larger volume, can be inserted into a protein binding pocket and occupy most of the binding cavity space, and further form a better geometric matching and physicochemical property binding mode with a plurality of amino acids of the protein conservative binding pocket. Wherein, when the small molecular berberine hydrochloride is combined with the protein combination cavity, the small molecular berberine hydrochloride can form better hydrogen bond action and hydrophobic property matching with the surrounding amino acid, wherein the hydrophobic property combination action is taken as the main action and plays a leading role in the protein combination process, and the combination energy is-9.74 kcal/mol (figure 11B, E). Compared with berberine hydrochloride, evodiamine has no too many atomic systems, and only Y162 can form less polar hydrogen bonding action with the berberine hydrochloride, so that the binding energy is obviously reduced to-8.69 kcal/mol (FIG. 11C, F). In conclusion, the interaction between berberine hydrochloride and acetylcholinesterase is strongest, so that the inhibition effect of berberine hydrochloride is best.
The method is used for detecting the acetylcholinesterase, but the reaction mechanism and the enzyme action substrate of the butyrylcholinesterase are similar to those of the acetylcholinesterase, so the method is also suitable for detecting the butyrylcholinesterase and screening inhibitors.
In conclusion, the invention has the beneficial effects and advantages that:
the detection method established by the invention can realize the detection of the activity of the acetylcholinesterase and the screening of the natural product inhibitor rapidly, sensitively and selectively, and has important guiding significance for the development of medicaments for treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer disease and the like. In addition, the invention has simple preparation process, no need of any modification and marking, low analysis cost and strong applicability.
