Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry, in particular to an application of Epiandrosterone in preparing a medicine for resisting coronavirus inflammation, and more particularly relates to Epiandrosterone or an effective inhibitor of coronavirus papain-like protease PLPro.
Background
Coronaviruses belong to the order of nested viruses, the family of coronaviruses, the genus of coronaviruses, and are a large group of viruses widely existing in nature, and the genome is the largest among currently known positive-strand RNA viruses. Meanwhile, the coronavirus is an RNA virus with a cyst membrane and a genome which is a single-segment positive-strand RNA virus, the genome of the coronavirus is simply composed of one RNA strand, genetic information is carried by RNA, and after the virus enters a host cell, a ribosome of the host can be directly utilized to produce proteins required by virus replication without a transcription process.
Coronaviruses can be classified into four types according to host, serotype gene sequence and structure: alpha, beta, gamma and delta, and no antigen cross reaction exists among different classes; of these four classes, the α and β classes only infect mammals, and the γ and δ classes mainly infect birds. In recent decades, many outbreaks of coronavirus, such as SARS, MERS and COVID-19, caused by coronavirus infection seriously affect human health and even take human life. The repeated outbreaks of coronaviruses suggest that humans are poorly understood about their research and the development of drugs for treating coronaviruses is imminent.
The papain (PLPro) is a hydrolase expressed on a genome nsp3 at the 5' end of the coronavirus, and mainly has the function of cleaving a specific tetrapeptide structure LXGG between nsp1-2, nsp2-3 and nsp3-4 on a polyprotein pp1a which needs to be hydrolyzed into a mature functional protein; in addition, papain has the additional function of detaching ubiquitin from host cells, which protects coronaviruses and thus circumvents the immune response inherent to the host. Therefore, the papain is crucial to the life cycle of the virus and can be used as an ideal target for designing and screening anti-coronavirus medicines. The gene sequence analysis of different coronaviruses shows that the papain of the coronaviruses has high similarity, and the medicine with the inhibiting ability is suitable for the papain of the coronaviruses.
In recent years, "computer-aided drug design" (CADD) has become an important method and tool for modern drug research and development. Therefore, the CADD method has been widely applied to the discovery and optimization of lead compounds. Computer-assisted high-throughput virtualization has become a common computer-assisted drug discovery method. The principle is that a chemical structure capable of being combined with a specific disease target protein is searched in millions of small molecule compound libraries by a molecular docking method through a supercomputer, and efficient and reliable small molecule lead compounds are provided for further molecular, cell, animal and clinical research. In conclusion, the small molecular compound designed and synthesized by using the papain plpro as a target and combining the CADD and biological activity test tests at various levels has important practical significance for developing antiviral drugs.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims at the problem that related inflammatory diseases such as lung, respiratory tract and intestinal diseases, nervous system symptoms, myocarditis and the like caused by coronavirus lack of effective prevention and treatment medicines, and points out the application of Epiandrosterone and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in preparing anti-coronavirus inflammatory medicines.
The technology of the invention takes a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) as a model, carries out drug design based on a three-dimensional structure of novel coronavirus pawpaw-like protease (SARS-CoV-2PLPro), and theoretically screens thousands of compounds including a natural product library, a clinical compound library and an antiviral drug library to obtain the compound which can inhibit the novel coronavirus PLPro. Then, we used the SARS-CoV-2 papain inhibitor screening reagent box constructed in the previous stage to perform experimental screening on these compounds through enzyme activity test.
Through drug screening according to the scheme, the invention discovers that Epiandrosterone shown as the following formula I has an inhibiting effect on novel coronavirus PLPro.
The compound has obvious effect of inhibiting novel coronavirus papain (PLPro), has the inhibition rate of more than 90 percent on SARS-CoV-2 papain at the concentration of 25 mu M, and has IC50The value was 6.010. mu.M, indicating that Epiandrosterone is effective in inhibiting the activity of the novel coronavirus papain. Furthermore, based on the high similarity of coronavirus papain-like proteases shown by sequence analysis, we reasoned that this class of compounds can also effectively inhibit the activity of other coronavirus papain-like proteases, especially against SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-HKU 1.
Preferably, Epiandrosterone having an inhibitory effect also includes various optical isomers, hydrates thereof. 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, wetting agent, disintegrating agent, absorption enhancer, surfactant, adsorption carrier, lubricant, and synergist conventional in pharmaceutical field. The medicine can be made into injection, tablet, pill, capsule, suspension or emulsion. The administration route can be oral, percutaneous, intravenous or intramuscular injection.

Example 2: inhibitory capacity of compound Epiandrosterone on novel coronavirus papain-like protease
The specific implementation process is as follows:
1) storing the stock solutions of SARS-CoV-2 papain and substrate peptide in a refrigerator at-80 deg.C;
2) melting SARS-CoV-2 papain in a freezing plate (-4 to 4 ℃) at room temperature, diluting 1uL into 98uL borax borate buffer solution (PH 7.4), and adding into a detection plate;

5) the fluorescence emission at 496nm after and before 342nm excitation of each group incubation was counted. The fluorescence change values before and after incubation in the control group (group with inhibitor concentration of 0) were taken as 100, and the Residual activity values (Residual activity) were obtained from the fluorescence change values in the different inhibition groups. The logarithmic value of the inhibitor concentration (logc (inhibitor)) is plotted on the abscissa and the corresponding Residual activity value (Residual activity) is plotted on the ordinate using GraphPad Prism6 software. The results are shown in FIG. 2, giving the IC of the inhibitor50The value is obtained. Table 1 lists the data on the inhibition activity of Compound 1 against SARS-CoV-2 PLpro. IC (integrated circuit)50The formula is calculated as Y is 100/(1+10^ ((X-Logic)50) Y) where Y represents the remaining activity fraction, X represents the common logarithm of the inhibitor compound concentration, a refers to the power algorithm. FIG. 2 is a graph showing the ratio of the concentration of various inhibitors to the activity of the inhibitory enzyme, and the inhibitory activity of the compound can be obtained as expressed by the concentration of the inhibitor at which the activity of the inhibitor is half inhibited.
