Description

Glycyrrhetinic acid-gold complex and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of small molecular compound medicines, and particularly relates to a glycyrrhetinic acid-gold complex, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Tendinopathy (tendinopathy) is a series of pathological changes occurring in injured or diseased tendons, and clinical symptoms are mainly manifested by pain and stiffness, hypofunction and decreased exercise tolerance. As one of the more common diseases of the current rehabilitation medical science and orthopedics clinic, the incidence of tendinosis has a rising trend year by year on the global scale, and is particularly frequently sent to athletes. Nowadays, tendinosis treatment includes drug or injection treatment, physical treatment based on exercise strategies, shock wave therapy, tendon load management, and the like, and is mostly focused on the aim of alleviating symptoms, and meanwhile, poor prognosis effect is often caused by being limited by poor self-repairing ability of tendons, so that an insufficient physical and psychological burden and economic stress are brought to patients and families thereof.
It is generally considered that the inflammatory reaction is a core link of the occurrence of tendinosis, and mechanical injury and other multiple factors together cause tendon inflammation states, so that the steady state of the normal physiological system of tendons is destroyed, and finally, the collagen disorder and extracellular matrix deposition of tendon tissues are caused, thereby seriously affecting the tendon functions, and the tendinitis is regarded as simplification of tendinosis classification in histopathology. The existing research shows that the damage related molecular pattern (DAMP) theory has applicability to tendinosis, which is a non-exogenous infectious inflammation, and is believed to release endogenous danger signals, called siren, after cell damage, activate innate immune responses, and further directly or indirectly activate adaptive immune responses, causing inflammation. High mobility group box B1 (HMGB 1) is one of the key siren, which is distributed in the nucleus in physiological state, and released to extracellular stimulus immune cells to secrete inflammatory mediators after cell damage, producing inflammatory response. HMGB1 has been found in tenocytes and has been found to be involved in the development and progression of tenopathy inflammation.
The licorice has mild taste and has the effects of regulating the middle warmer, regulating the functions of the medicines, and has long administration history. The main chemical components of the liquorice have multiple pharmacological activities, can play roles of enhancing macrophage functions, regulating cellular immunity and resisting viruses, and are widely applied to clinical treatment of liver diseases. Notably, recent studies have found that both are natural inhibitors of HMGB1, and that direct binding to HMGB1 inhibits its expression and thus inhibits inflammation. At present, the related report of glycyrrhetinic acid for treating tendinosis is not yet seen.
The exploration of metal ions and bioactive materials thereof in bone tissue engineering is reported in numerous studies, which predicts a considerable prospect for treating bone diseases. Auranofin is a classical oral medicine for treating rheumatoid arthritis, shows excellent anti-inflammatory effect of gold complex, and also suggests possibility of applying gold element to the field of orthopedic diseases. At present, no report on the treatment of tendinosis by gold complexes is available.

15 Wistar rats weighing 90-110 g are selected, and after 1 week of adaptive feeding, the rats are randomly divided into 3 groups: the control group, tendinosis model group, administration group, model group and administration group were intragastric with ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (0.5% CMC-Na solubilizing aid) at a dose of 800mg/kg, and the blank control group was intragastric with 0.5% CMC-Na once daily for two weeks. Two weeks later, a drug treatment was given in which the administration group was given by intraperitoneal injection of the glycyrrhetinic acid-gold complex GA-Au (5 mg/kg) of the present invention prepared in the above example 1, once a day, and the blank control group and the model group were given by intraperitoneal injection of 0.5% CMC-Na, and after two weeks of treatment, rats were anesthetized, and then they were subjected to abdominal aortic blood collection and rat tendon tissue collection.
(2) Immunohistochemical detection
Rat patellar tendon tissue is taken, fixed by 4% paraformaldehyde, gradually dehydrated by ethanol, then subjected to xylene transparentization, paraffin embedding, slicing and wax removal. Antigen retrieval treatment is then performed, followed by blocking. And adding corresponding primary antibodies and secondary antibodies, and finally performing DAB color development treatment. After completion, the image was observed and photographed using a microscope.
(3) Kit for detecting expression level of GSH and MDA in rat serum
After the rat is obtained, the plasma is kept at normal temperature for 4 hours, and the supernatant is obtained after centrifugation (3000 rmp, 15 min) and is treated according to the corresponding operation steps of the kit.
2. Results
The results in FIG. 8A show that the tendon tissue structure of the rats in the control group is complete and the collagen arrangement is compact; the collagen fibers of the model group are arranged in disorder, cavitation occurs, and the cell nucleus is circular; compared with the model group, the GA-Au administration group has more compact collagen arrangement, and is loose but has no fracture deformation compared with the blank group. The GSH and MDA kit results of fig. 8B-C show that the serum GSH of the model rats is consumed and the lipid peroxidation product MDA accumulates, which is alleviated after administration, indicating that GA-Au inhibits oxidative stress in the progression of tendinopathy. The results in FIG. 8D show that inflammatory factor IL-1β levels were also inhibited in the serum of rats in the dosing group compared to the modeling group. The immunohistochemical results of fig. 8E show high expression of HMGB1 in the building block and inhibition of HMGB1 expression after administration. The above results demonstrate that GA-Au inhibits the expression of HMGB1 and improves the progression of tendinosis in rats.
In conclusion, the 18 beta-glycyrrhetinic acid gold complex can inhibit the expression of HMGB1 in vivo and in vitro, has the functions of resisting oxidative stress and inflammation, and provides a basis for the pharmacological action of the complex in treating tendinosis.
Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
