The present invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular relates to forsythiaside sulfate derivatives and a preparation method thereof, as well as pharmacological effects of such derivatives in terms of viral resistance.
Forsythiaside, as an aglycon part of forsythin, is also known as phillygenin, is a main active component of Forsythia suspensa of the genus Forsythia in, the family Oleaceae and has a structure as represented below. Modern pharmacological researches show that forsythiaside has antiviral, antioxidant, lowering blood lipid scavenging free radical, antibacterial, antitumor, anti-inflammatory effect and the like.
Forsythiaside has unstable molecules which is prone to oxidized and easy to change the configuration in an acidic environment. Researches simulating forsythin metabolism through rat enteric bacteria discover that forsythin is easily metabolized by intestinal flora into a new metabolite.

{circle around (3)} Detection Results of Lung Histology
The lungs of the mice in the influenza virus and parainfluenza virus pneumonia model group are mostly congested, suffered from edema lesion; some the lung turn out to be consolidation areas with dark brown appearance, the seriously affected ones appear brownish red hemorrhagic focuses. Microscopically, it can be seen that the interstitial lung, such as bronchi, bronchioles and alveolar walls, are suffered from congestion, edema and lymphocytes, mononuclear cell infiltration. alveolar wall widening, and inflammatory reaction of pulmonary alveoli. After the influenza virus and parainfluenza virus pneumonia mice models are treated with the forsythiaside sulfate, the general pathological changes of the lungs of each group of mice are significantly reduced, and some of the lung tissues are normal in shape and structure; compared with the infection model group, the alveolar septum is thinner, the infiltration number of the mononuclear cells of the alveolar wall and bronchiole wall is less, there is no leakage in the cavity, and the lesions are significantly reduced. As compared with the infection model group, the medium and high dosage groups of the forsythiaside sulfate in treating parainfluenza virus pneumonia have significantly thinner alveolar septum, less infiltration number of mononuclear cells, no leakage in the cavity, and significantly reduced lesions.
