Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to compositions for the prevention, alleviation, or treatment of inflammatory diseases comprising 1-alkyl-5-arylidene-2-selenoxoimidazolidin-4-one and its derivatives. Specifically, the novel compounds of the present invention, 1-alkyl-5-arylidene-2-selenoxoimidazolidin-4-one and its derivatives, can be used as effective compositions for the prevention, alleviation, or treatment of inflammatory diseases.


BACKGROUND ART

Reactive oxygen species, known to increase in the body due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation, ionizing radiation, alcohol and tobacco, excessive stress, pollutants, overeating, and strenuous exercise, are perceived as a necessary evil within the body, contributing to aging, diabetes, allergic diseases, and various other conditions. To reduce reactive oxygen species levels in the body, an increasing number of individuals are consuming dietary supplements or foods containing antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene, lutein, and selenium.


Reactive oxygen species are chemically reactive molecules containing oxygen, encompassing terms such as superoxide anion (O2—), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radical (OH), peroxynitrite (NO3—), and hypochlorite ion (OCl—). When phagocytes, including neutrophils, are activated by invading microorganisms, the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX) complex, which is dispersed in the cell membrane and cytoplasm, assembles to produce reactive oxygen species. These reactive oxygen species play a role in protecting the host from invading microorganisms. However, this process is known to cause host tissue damage and induce inflammation observed in various diseases.


The NOX complex consists of five subunit proteins, gp91phox, p22phox, p47phox, p67phox, p40phox which are normally separate but assemble upon stimulation to produce reactive oxygen species. Reactive oxygen species generated by the NOX complex in phagocytes can induce local inflammation and, due to their high reactivity, may also contribute to cancer development. Reactive oxygen species are implicated as a mechanism for cancer initiation in tissues under chronic inflammatory conditions. The high reactivity of reactive oxygen species can lead to tissue damage, inflammation, and in some cases, cancer, by modifying various substances such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and DNA in tissues.


Several NOX inhibitors have been developed, but it has been reported that there are no drugs specific to any one of the seven isoforms: NOX1, NOX2, NOX3, NOX4, NOX5, DUOX1, and DUOX2. Various isoforms of NOX show differences in expression levels depending on the tissue, leading to ongoing research into the selectivity of each isoform. Overall, inhibiting the generation of reactive oxygen species appears to be the common strategy.


Accordingly, the present inventors have completed the present invention by inhibiting the generation of reactive oxygen species through NOX enzyme inhibition for the fundamental treatment of inflammatory diseases and confirming the therapeutic effect of treating inflammatory diseases by developing novel compounds exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects.

Experimental Example 1
Evaluation of Activity to Inhibit Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species and Spore Germination Through NOX Enzyme Inhibition

The inhibition of NADPH oxidase (NOX), which is involved in the generation of reactive oxygen species in red mold, results in the suppression of normal hyphal growth and the formation of abnormal structures known as short-term conidia, thereby inhibiting germination. The abnormal phenotypes caused by the reduction of reactive oxygen species within the red mold can be easily observed through optical microscopy. Through this method, the ability to inhibit the generation of reactive oxygen species by NOX inhibition was evaluated.


Specifically, to evaluate the activity of the compounds, a 0.1 mM concentration of the compound was added to a spore suspension of minimal medium diluted to 1/5 (MM20). Spores of the wild-type strain GZ3639 of red mold (105 spores/ml) were inoculated into the medium and incubated at 25° C. or 24 hours, followed by microscopic observation. Compounds that exhibited more than 50% inhibition of germination and short-term conidia formation compared to normal germination were selected for further activity evaluation at concentrations of 50 μM, 25 μM, and 10 μM. Among these, compounds showing 95% germination inhibition at 10 μM were further evaluated at concentrations of 5 μM, 1 μM, 0.5 μM, and 0.1 μM. Based on these results, the concentration of the compound at which the spore germination inhibition rate reached 50% (inhibitory concentration 50%, IC50) was determined.


The IC50 evaluation results of the compounds of the present disclosure are shown in Table 2 below. However, Examples in Table 2 below show some compounds which are selected and tested among the compounds of the present disclosure, and the present invention is not limited to the compounds listed in Table 2 below, and compounds not listed in Table 2 also exhibit the activity to inhibit generation of reactive oxygen species and spore germination through NOX enzyme inhibition.

As shown in Table 2, the compounds of the present invention exhibit excellent activity (IC50). In particular, a large number of compounds have an IC50 value of 5 μM or less.


Experimental Example 2
Evaluation of Effect of Inhibiting Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species

It is known that the administration of MPP+ or rotenone to cell lines results in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to mitochondrial inhibition, the activation of NOX enzymes and the like. The excessively generated ROS can induce various inflammatory responses through multiple pathways. The ROS generated in this process react with the CM-H2DCFDA reagent to produce fluorescence, thereby allowing the indirect quantification of ROS.


Specifically, the SH-SY5Y cell line was treated with Compound 1aaa (Compound 1, 10 μM), apocynin (5 μM), or allopurinol (50 μM), and then with MPP+ (2 mM) or rotenone (2 μM) for 24 hours. The effect of each compound to inhibit the generation of reactive oxygen species is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 as a relative percentage to that of the control group.


As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, it has been confirmed that Compound 1aaa of the present invention effectively inhibits the increased generation of reactive oxygen species after exposure of the SH-SY5Y cell line to MPP+ or rotenone.


Experimental Example 3
Experiment to Evaluate Cell Viability

The treatment of cell lines with the toxic substances MPP+ or rotenone induces cytotoxicity due to various inflammatory and immune response abnormalities. The viability of the cells under these conditions can be measured using the MTT assay.


Specifically, the SH-SY5Y cell line was treated with 0.5 μM of Compound 1aaa (Compound 1), 1aca (Compound 24), 1ace (Compound 27), 1ahe (Compound 44) or 1aje (Compound 62) and then with MPP+ (2 mM) or rotenone (2 μM) for 24 hours. Cell viability in the case of being treated with each compound is illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5.


As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, it has been confirmed that Compounds 1aaa, 1aca, 1ace, 1ahe, and 1aje of the present invention significantly inhibit cell death, which is reduced by MPP+ or rotenone, and improve cell viability.

As the transcription factor Nrf-2 enters the nucleus and the expression of genes related to antioxidation increases, the antioxidant capacity of cells increases,


Specifically, the SH-SY5Y cell line was exposed to Compound 1aaa (Compound 1, 10 μM) for 24 hours and then the cells were taken. Thereafter, the nuclear fraction was extracted, then Western blotting was performed to analyze the amount of Nrf-2 in the nucleus, and the results are illustrated in FIG. 6.


As illustrated in FIG. 6, it has been confirmed that the amount of Nrf-2 in the nucleus is increased by about 1.5 times by the treatment with Compound 1aaa of the present invention. Consequently, it can be seen that Compound 1aaa of the present invention activates the cellular antioxidant system by increasing the induction and nuclear import of Nrf-2.


Experimental Example 5
Evaluation of Anti-Inflammatory Activity

To evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of the compounds of the present invention, the morphological changes related to inflammation in cells and the suppression of the expression of inflammatory proteins (IL-1R and COX2) were assessed.


Specifically, BV2 cell lines were treated with compound 1aaa (0.1, 1, 10 μg/ml) for 2 hours, followed by treatment with LPS (10 μg/ml), and then cultured for 24 hours. The morphological changes in the cells treated with the compound were observed, and the results are shown in FIG. 7. Additionally, Western blot analysis was performed to analyze the expression of inflammatory proteins, and the results are shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.


As shown in FIG. 7, LPS stimulated BV cells, inducing the activation of macrophages with a short-branched, rounded morphology, while compound 1aaa of the present invention inhibited the activation of BV2 macrophages in a dose-dependent manner.


Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, compound 1aaa of the present invention significantly suppressed the expression of IL-1β and COX2.


Therefore, it can be concluded that compound 1aaa of the present invention exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the generation of reactive oxygen species through NOX enzyme inhibition.
