Description

Application of caffeic acid and derivatives thereof in preparation of medicines for treating clostridium difficile infection
Technical Field
The invention discloses a new application of caffeic acid and a derivative thereof, in particular relates to an application of caffeic acid and a derivative thereof in preparing medicines for treating clostridium difficile infection, and belongs to the technical field of medical pharmacy.
Background
Clostridium difficile is a gram-positive anaerobic bacillus that is widely distributed in the human, animal gut and environment. Clostridium difficile was originally identified as part of the healthy infant flora in 1935 and its relationship to human disease was not revealed until the 70 s of the 20 th century. The frequency and severity of clostridium difficile infection has increased worldwide over the last decade, becoming one of the most common hospital-acquired infections. Clostridium difficile has been reported as a major cause of neonatal enteritis in piglets since 2000. This pathogen is transmitted by the faecal route, and potential hosts include asymptomatic carriers, infected patients, environmental pollution and animal intestinal tracts (canine, feline, porcine, avian). Clinical manifestations vary from asymptomatic carrier status to life threatening colitis and cause death.
Clostridium difficile infection is mainly caused by the spread of spores, dormant cells that are highly resistant to environmental conditions. After bile acids reach the gut, which plays an important role in the induction of germination of clostridium difficile spores, primary bile acids generally stimulate germination of clostridium difficile spores, while secondary bile acids in the colon inhibit this process. When the intestinal microbial balance is disrupted, clostridium difficile begins to dominate and colonize the large intestine, and some patients develop symptoms of clostridium difficile infection. Clostridium difficile produces several toxins during disease onset, tcdA, tcdB, which is considered the most predominant causative agent, and binary toxins (CDT) produced in some strains. During clostridium difficile infection, once the toxin is secreted, tcdB binds to the receptor and will enter the colonic epithelial cells to cause inflammatory chemokine and cytokine production, neutrophil influx, tight junctions destruction and ultimately cell death. Currently, vancomycin or non-daptomycin is generally used for treating clostridium difficile infection (the main function of the non-daptomycin is to prevent recurrent infection), but drug-resistant strains are inevitably generated along with a large amount of long-term use of antibiotics. Thus, there is a great clinical need to find new anti-infective strategies and new drugs to treat clostridium difficile infection.
Caffeic acid, known as 3, 4-dihydroxycinnamic acid, is widely used in Chinese herbal plants such as eucommia ulmoides, honeysuckle, etc. Caffeic acid has antiinflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral effects, and can be used for treating diseases related to oxidative stress, inflammation and viral infection. The caffeic acid derivative caffeic acid phenethyl ester has abundant resources, but the resource utilization rate is very low at present, and some natural plants rich in caffeic acid phenethyl ester are not fully developed and utilized. Therefore, the development of caffeic acid and derivatives thereof as a novel antitoxic drug has very important significance.

Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples, which are not in any way limiting, and any modifications or alterations of the invention, which are easily realized by a person skilled in the art, will fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention without departing from the technical solutions of the invention.
Example 1
Caffeic acid and its derivatives can be used as clostridium difficile toxin inhibitor and in preparation of medicine for treating clostridium difficile infection, and can be used for any pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Example 2
Caffeic acid and its derivatives are used as clostridium difficile toxin inhibitors for preparing medicines for treating infectious diseases.

Caffeic acid and its derivatives are used as clostridium difficile toxin inhibitors for the treatment of infectious diseases caused by bacteria, in particular infections caused by clostridium difficile.
Test example 1
Effect of caffeic acid and its derivative phenethyl caffeate on TcdB-mediated cell rounding
Hela cells were seeded in 96-well plates and experiments were performed after overnight cell growth had occurred. Caffeic acid and its derivative caffeic acid phenethyl ester were pre-incubated with TcdB for 1h to post-treat cells, toxin alone treatment was used as a control group, and cell morphology changes were observed.

Toxin TcdB was diluted with 10mm Tris buffer ph7.5, the diluted toxin was pre-incubated with phenethyl caffeate for 1h, and instrp 6 was added to react at 37 ℃ for 6h. After the reaction, samples were collected and treated with SDS loading buffer to detect the occurrence of self-cleavage by the toxin.
The results show that: 4 μg/mL of phenethyl caffeate inhibited self-cleavage of TcdB (see FIG. 2).

Test example 4
Protection of clostridium difficile infected mice by caffeic acid derivative phenethyl caffeate
4.1 establishment of a model of Clostridium difficile infected mice
Male C57BL/6 mice (18-22 g) of 6-8 weeks old are adaptively fed for 3 days, free feeding and drinking water are carried out during the period, then the drinking water is replaced by 0.5g/L cefoperazone sodium, the pretreatment is carried out for 5 days, after normal drinking water is given for 2 days, clostridium difficile infection diarrhea models of the mice are established by adopting an oral and gastric lavage mode.
4.2 changes in body weight of mice after treatment with phenethyl caffeate
The cefoperazone sodium pretreated mice were randomly divided into healthy control groups, clostridium difficile infection + in vivo solvent treatment groups, clostridium difficile infection + phenethyl caffeate treatment groups. The clostridium difficile infection + phenethyl caffeate treatment group is infused with 100mg/kg phenethyl caffeate after bacterial infection of mice for 2 times/day, wherein the clostridium difficile infection + in-vivo solvent treatment group is infused with the corresponding in-vivo solvent in the same time, the healthy control group does not perform any treatment, and the weight change condition of the mice in different treatment groups is counted after continuously observing for 5 days.
The results show that: healthy control mice continue to gain weight over 5 days; mice in the infected group continuously decrease in body weight 3 days before infection, and increase in body weight on days 4 and 5; the mice in the treatment group had a weight loss 2 days before, and a weight gain from day 3 and a magnitude of the gain was greater than that in the infection group, indicating that caffeic acid phenethyl ester had a protective effect on mice in clostridium difficile diarrhea model (see figure 4).
4.3 fecal colony colonization conditions
Mice were sacrificed on day 3 post infection, faeces from each group were weighed and ground to make tissue homogenates, which were diluted in sterile PBS and plated on CCFA agar bacteria culture plates, and colony counts were performed after incubation at 37 ℃.
The results show that: colony colonization in mouse feces was significantly reduced after treatment with phenethyl caffeate compared to the infected group (see figure 5).
In conclusion, the study successfully establishes a clostridium difficile infected mouse model in a mode of gastric lavage infection of clostridium difficile, discovers that caffeic acid phenethyl ester reduces diarrhea degree of clostridium difficile infected mice and inhibits colonial colonization in feces, and lays a foundation for developing new clostridium difficile infected medicines.
