Description

Application of p-benzoquinone or derivatives thereof in preparation of anti-coronavirus medicines and medicines
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to application of p-benzoquinone and derivatives thereof in preparation of a coronavirus infection resistant medicament.
Background
Coronaviruses belong to the single positive strand RNA virus, and the family of coronaviruses mainly includes novel coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2), SARS coronaviruses (SARS-CoV), middle east respiratory syndrome coronaviruses (MERS-CoV), HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, and HCoV-HKU. Coronaviruses commonly cause respiratory and intestinal diseases, neurological symptoms, and myocarditis. The infection of these diseases seriously affects the health of people. The repeated outbreaks of coronaviruses suggest that human beings have little knowledge about their studies, and the development of drugs for treating new coronaviruses is imminent.
The main protease of coronavirus, also called 3C-like protease (3CLpro), is a hydrolase expressed in the genome nsp5 at the 5' end of coronavirus and mainly functions to cleave at least 11 sites on the polyproteins pp1a and pp1ab, which need to be processed into mature functional protein after being hydrolyzed; the 3C-like protease (3CLpro) is a cysteine protease that recognizes sequences with Leu and Glin at positions P2 and P1, respectively. In addition, the substrate binding site of the 3C-like protease (3CLpro) is highly conserved and plays a key role in mediating virus replication and transcription, so the 3CL protease can be used as an ideal target point for designing and screening the anti-coronavirus medicines.
P-benzoquinone and its derivatives are typical Michael acceptor structures, can react with cysteine sulfydryl, can act as a free radical scavenger, and can protect enzymatic activities of catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase from being damaged. We are keenly aware that the michael acceptor structure of p-benzoquinone and its derivatives may inhibit the activity of cysteine proteases, where we demonstrate that p-benzoquinone and its derivatives can inhibit the enzymatic activity of the major protease 3Clpro of coronaviruses, especially novel coronaviruses. Through examining the relevant data, no report about p-benzoquinone and its derivatives as the inhibitor of the coronavirus main protease 3Clpro is found.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims at the problem that relevant inflammatory diseases such as lung, respiratory tract and intestinal tract diseases, nervous system symptoms, myocarditis and the like caused by coronavirus lack of effective prevention and treatment medicines, and points out the application of p-benzoquinone and derivatives thereof in preparing anti-coronavirus inflammatory medicines.
The invention aims to provide p-benzoquinone and derivatives thereof serving as inhibitors of coronavirus 3C-like protease (3CLpro) and application thereof in preparing medicaments for preventing and/or treating novel coronavirus infection. The technology of the invention is based on the three-dimensional structure of the novel coronavirus 3CLpro to carry out drug design, and thousands of compounds including a natural product library, a clinical compound library and an antiviral drug library are virtually screened to obtain the compound which can possibly inhibit the novel coronavirus 3 CLpro. We then performed enzyme activity assays using a commercially available 3CLpro fluorescent probe construction method and used for inhibitor screening.
By screening the medicines according to the scheme, the invention discovers that the compounds shown in the following general formula 1 have the inhibition effect on SARS-CoV-23 CL protease:
Figure BDA0002698889290000031
wherein R is1-4Can be hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl or halogen;
wherein R is1-4 must be one hydrogen.
Preferably, the compound of formula 1 may be thymoquinone (formula 2),
Figure BDA0002698889290000032
formula 2 the above compounds have significant inhibitory effect on the novel coronavirus 3C-like protease (3CLpro), which indicates that the compounds can effectively inhibit the activity of the novel coronavirus 3C-like protease. Furthermore, given the high similarity of coronavirus main proteases reported in the literature, we theorize that this class of compounds is also effective in inhibiting the activity of other coronavirus main proteases, especially for SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-HKU. Preferably, the p-benzoquinone and its derivatives having an inhibitory effect also include various optical isomers, hydrates thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof with acids. The compounds of formula I can be used in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants for the preparation of medicaments for the treatment and prophylaxis of novel coronavirus infections. The adjuvant comprises diluent, excipient, filler, binder, humectant, disintegrating agent, absorption enhancer, surfactant, adsorption carrier, lubricant, and synergist. The medicine can be made into injection, tablet, pill, capsule, suspension or emulsion. The administration route can be oral, percutaneous, intravenous or intramuscular injection.
