Description

Application of malic acid in preparation of medicine for preventing and/or treating depression
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and particularly relates to application of malic acid in preparation of a medicine for preventing and/or treating depression.
Background
Depression is a psychologic disorder characterized primarily by persistent mood swings, and is the most common type of mental disorder in modern people. Clinically, the mood is low and the reality is too happy, the mood is low and subsided for a long time, the feeling is from sultriness at the beginning to the final sadness, the people feel alive every day and hopefully afflict themselves, negative, escape and even have suicide tendency and behavior. Meanwhile, patients also suffer from somatization symptoms such as chest distress and shortness of breath, which brings huge economic burden to society and families.
At present, the treatment methods for depression mainly include drug therapy, physical therapy and psychological therapy. Among them, drug therapy is the main therapeutic measure for depression. The first-line antidepressants currently used clinically mainly include selective 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitors (representing the drugs fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, citalopram and escitalopram), 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (representing the drugs venlafaxine and duloxetine), norepinephrine and specific 5-hydroxytryptamine antidepressant drugs (representing the drug mirtazapine), and the like.
However, there are still two problems with the existing depression treatment drugs: firstly, the antidepressant commonly used at present has long onset time, the reaction rate is 40-60%, the remission rate is less than 50%, and the recurrence rate is high. Secondly, most of the current clinically applied antidepressants have large side effects. In addition, most of the existing drugs are drugs for treating depression, and few drugs capable of preventing depression are available at present. Therefore, there is still a need to develop more kinds of drugs for the prevention or treatment of depression, providing more options for the clinical prevention and treatment of depression.
Malic acid is an organic acid with a sour taste, which is naturally found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, malic acid is also one of the byproducts of human metabolism. The structural formula of malic acid is as follows:
Figure BDA0003700785370000011
in the prior art, malic acid is commonly used as a food additive to provide a sour taste; at the same time, it can be added into supplement for relieving chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and improving exercise ability.
However, the action of malic acid on depression and its molecular mechanism have not been reported at present.
Disclosure of Invention

Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention is further illustrated by the following specific examples:
example 1 Effect of malic acid in controlling Depression
This example investigates the effect of malic acid addition to feed on a chronic social frustration stress (CSDS) mouse model. Most depression-related stresses are social in nature, as they have social characteristics, including environmental stress, life events, and personal frustration. Therefore, compared with other animal models of depression, the mouse model of chronic social frustration stress can better simulate the real process of depression caused by social factors, has lasting behavioral and biological changes, and is one of the animal models with better depression research. Through the experiment of the embodiment, the prevention and treatment effect of malic acid on depression can be proved.
1. Laboratory animal
C57BL/6J mice (8 weeks of age, 18-22g body weight) were fed under constant laboratory conditions (12 hours/12 hours light-dark cycle, room temperature 23 + -2 deg.C, relative humidity 55 + -10%). The clear water and the mouse feed are sufficient. All animal handling and experimental procedures were approved by the ethical committee.
2. Experimental method
1. Experimental procedure
Experimental procedure As shown in FIG. 1, 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice were acclimatized, subjected to a Baseline test for sugar water and body weight, and subjected to a chronic social contusion test for a period of 10 days after exclusion of mice with too small natural physique and a preference for sugar-free water, followed by a depressive behavior test (Day, day; baseline, baseline test; trends, normal diet or 2% malic acid feeding; CSDS/CON, chronic social contusion stress or control treatment in the figure).
2. Experiment grouping
C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups, namely:
normal feed + CON group (n = 10), experimental group fed with rat maintenance feed (SPF grade), i.e. feed containing 18% protein and 4% fat sterilized by 60 Co-gamma irradiation and not subjected to CSDS;
a normal feed + CSDS group (n = 10), an experimental group fed with a rat maintenance feed (SPF grade), i.e., a feed containing 18% protein and 4% fat sterilized by 60 Co-gamma irradiation and subjected to CSDS;
2% malic acid + CON group (n = 18), experimental group fed with 2% (w/w) L-malic acid added to a feed containing 18% protein and 4% fat sterilized by irradiation of 60 Co-gamma rays (SPF grade) in rats and mice without CSDS;
group of 2% malic acid + CSDS (n = 14) experimental group of CSDS was carried out with 2% (w/w) L-malic acid added to a rat maintenance feed (SPF grade), i.e., a feed containing 18% protein and 4% fat sterilized by 60 Co-gamma irradiation.
3. Chronic social frustrating stress
Before social frustration, 4-6 months old male CD1 mice with strong aggressivity are screened, and the social frustration strength of the model C57BL/6J mice is ensured. For the screening of a single CD-1 mouse, the whole screening process lasts for 3 days, 1 time per day, 1C 57BL/6J mouse is placed into a breeding cage of the CD-1 mouse per day, and the mouse is taken out after 3 minutes; the C57BL/6J mice were changed daily for a total of 3 days. Screening of CD-1 mice for aggressive behavior is based primarily on two criteria: (1) CD-1 was challenged in a 3 day (3 min per day) screen on C57BL/6J mice for at least two consecutive days; (2) the latency of the initial challenge is within 1 minute.
The social frustration experimental cage (with padding) was prepared the day before the start of molding and the screened CD-1 mice were placed in cages on one side of the isolation barrier one night in advance. After the molding is started, the C57BL/6J mouse is taken as an invader to be placed into a screened CD1 mouse cage every day, and the mouse is exposed for 5-10min, which is called as contact stress. During the contact, the C57BL/6J mice are attacked by the CD1 mice, so as to show evasion, fear and other behaviors. After both were contacted, C57BL/6J mice and CD1 mice were separated by a transparent plexiglass plate with a hole and left for 24 hours as an indirect psychological stress. The above operations were continuously repeated for 10 days. Control C57BL/6J: 2C 57BL/6J mice of the same age group were selected, and the procedure was repeated for 10 consecutive days, with reference to the experiment of the experimental group (which may be understood as replacing the CD-1 mice in the experimental group with the control C57BL/6J mice), with different experimental cages each day.
4. Social interaction experiment
After 24 hours after the social frustration is finished, all groups of C57BL/6J mice are respectively put into a social interactive open field in turn and are allowed to adapt to the environment for 1 hour before detection. And in the video recording stage, starting a camera system to record the track tracking of the C57BL/6J mouse in the open field: firstly, carrying out 2.5-minute trajectory tracking on a CD 1-free mouse; the interval between the two mice is 30 seconds, and a brand-new offensive CD1-1 mouse (which is not used in the stage of social frustration) is placed in the organic glass cover on the side wall of the open field; follow up of the trajectory with CD1-1 mice was done for an additional 2.5 minutes. Software records and analyzes the indexes detected by the experiment, mainly as follows: a. overall trajectory and total travel of the animal; b. the number of times the animal entered different areas (mainly social, corner areas are recorded as needed) and the stay time.
5. Sugar water preference experimental mice were first acclimatized to 1% sugar water for 4 days. The mice were deprived of water for 12 hours, after which time the sugar water and clear water were again placed on the feeding rack and the sugar water and clear water intake of the mice was recorded over a 12 hour period. Sugar water preference = sugar water intake ÷ (sugar water intake + fresh water intake) × 100%.
3. Results of the experiment
As shown in FIG. 2, the sugar preference values of the normal diet + CSDS group were significantly decreased compared to the normal diet + CON group, while the sugar preference values of the 2% malic acid + CSDS group were not significantly different, and thus, it was found that the administration of 2% malic acid had a significant improvement effect on the decrease in sugar preference (anhedonia) of mice caused by social withdrawal (in the figure: sugar preference (%), percentage of sugar preference (%), CSDS, chronic social withdrawal stress; CON, control treatment; vehicle, normal diet; mal,2% malic acid).
As shown in FIG. 3, the interaction Time was significantly shortened in the presence of challenge mice in the normal diet + CSDS group compared to the normal diet + CON group, and the interaction Time was not significantly different in the 2% malic acid + CSDS group, so that it was found that the administration of 2% malic acid significantly improved the reduction in social interaction Time (social avoidance) in mice caused by social frustration (in the figure: time in IZ, time in the interaction zone; vehicle, normal diet; mal,2% malic acid; CON, control treatment; CSDS, chronic social frustration stress; absent, absence of challenge mice; present, presence of challenge mice).
As shown in FIG. 4, the depression susceptibility (depression incidence) was doubled in the 2% malic acid + CSDS group compared to the normal diet + CSDS group, and thus it was found that the administration of 2% malic acid had a depression-resistant effect (Mice%, ratio of Mice; vehicle, normal diet; mal,2% malic acid; resilient, depression-resistant; susceptible, depression-sensitive).
The above examples show that malic acid can improve the sugar water preference of the CSDS mouse model and improve the social avoidance phenomenon of the CSDS mouse model, and thus, the malic acid can prove to have obvious prevention and improvement effects on depression-like behaviors caused by social frustration. Therefore, the malic acid can be used for preparing the medicament for preventing and/or treating the depression and has good application prospect.
