TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the isolation and therapeutical application of some novel lignan derivatives. These derivatives have the formula (A) wherein R.sub.1 represents H, C.sub.1-8 alkyl, --OCOR, wherein R.sub.2 represents OH, COO.sup.--, wherein R represents H, C.sub.1-8 alkyl.
The discovery of thromboxane A.sub.2 (TXA.sub.2) and prostacyclin (PGI.sub.2) has generated a great deal of interest in these highly potent derivatives of arachidonic acid (AA). TXA.sub.2 is the major cyclo-oxygenase product derived from AA in blood platelets. It is an extremely potent platelet aggregator, vasoconstrictor and bronchoconstrictor. PGI.sub.2 is produced by vascular endothelium and has potent biological actions opposing those of TXA.sub.2. Normally there is a homaeostatic balance maintained between TXA.sub.2 and PGI.sub.2. However, in some pathological conditions (e.g. thrombosis), the normal balance is upset allowing the detrimental properties of TXA.sub.2 to predominate. Thus, drugs that inhibit TXA.sub.2 formation or action may have a potential as antithrombotic agents.
Cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors (e.g. aspirin) have been criticized for their alleged capability of suppressing the synthesis not only of TXA.sub.2 but also of PGI.sub.2, a powerful antiaggregatory and vasodilator substance. The use of the more recently introduced thromboxane (TX) synthase inhibitors has been questioned on the basis of a possible proaggregatory activity of prostaglandin endoperoxides (PGG.sub.2, PGH.sub.2) accumulating after the block of TX synthase. TXA.sub.2 receptor antagonists have the advantage of inhibiting the pro-aggregatory action of both TXA.sub.2 and prostaglandin endoperoxides and also of antagonizing the effects of these agonists on smooth muscle cells. However, they do not suppress platelet activation mediated by TXA.sub.2 -independent agonists (high dose collagen, thrombin).
Drugs with combined TX synthase inhibitory and TXA.sub.2 receptor antagonistic properties may overcome several of the shortcomings of the pharmacological classes discussed above. Indeed, while TX synthase inhibition enhances the endogenous synthesis of antiaggregatory prostaglandins (PGI.sub.2 and PGD.sub.2), TXA.sub.2 receptor antagonism prevents accumulated endoperoxides from activating platelets and smooth muscle cells. The summation of these effects may theoretically lead to an increase of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) in platelets and smooth muscle cells, a phenomenon associated with strong platelet inhibition and smooth muscle relaxation.
The prior drugs belong to these inhibitors are ridogrel and picotamide. Hoet et al. reported that ridogrel inhibited thromboxane A.sub.2 synthetase with an IC.sub.50 of 5 nM, which is 130 times less than that inhibiting thromboxane receptor, with an IC.sub.50 of 2 .mu.M (Blood, 75, 646-53, 1990). Ridogrel never simultaneously achieves double actions at the same blood concentration. Gresele et al. reported that picotamide might have therapeutic action at concentration as high as 100 .mu.M, the side effect might become apparent. (Thromb. Haemost. 61, 479-84, 1989). It is therefore important for us to search for new drugs with high efficacy, lower side effect by inhibiting thromboxane synthetase and thromboxane receptor, for the therapy of thrombosis.
When an excessive amount of oxygen free radicals are produced or defense mechanisms are impaired, highly reactive free radicals tend to set off chain reactions. There is now an increasing amount of evidence that oxidative damage is a major contributor to the etiology of degenerative diseases, including aging, brain dysfunction, cancer, AIDS, and cardiovascular diseases.
Lipid peroxidation not only causes alterations in the structure of the membrane but also rises to reactive lipid epoxides, lipid hydroperoxides, lipid alkoxyl and peroxyl radicals, and enals. It is undoubted that transition metals as catalysts, iron or copper, are involved in both initiation and propagation of lipid peroxidation. Free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation may be critically important in two unique pathophysiological events.
In recent years, there has been much evidence linking atherogenesis with free radical-mediated oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Oxidatively modified, which is different from native LDL in both surface charge and by the presence of aldehyde-lysine adducts, has been recognized and enhanced uptaken by a scavenger receptor of macrophaqe, leading to formation of lipid-laden foam cells, one of the first stages of atherogenesis. According to in vivo and in vitro studies, classical chainbreaking antioxidants are suggested to be beneficial for protecting LDL against lipid peroxidation, therefore, preventing occurrence of atherogenetic events.
BHA (t-Butylhydroxyanisole) or BHT (t-butylhydroxytoluene) are artificial antioxidants as food additive; however, their safety are considerable. On the other hand, .alpha.-tocopherol is used as a natural antioxidant. .alpha.-Tocopherol is unfavourably used for food additive, because it has some defects such as its a fat-soluble vitamin; its cost is quite high; its antioxidative action on fatty oils is lower than BHA (t-butylhydroxyanisole) or BHT (t-butylhydroxy toluene); so it can not substitute artificial antioxidant. It is therefore important for seaching artificial antioxidants with lower cost, and water soluble.
Medicinal plants have been widely used as traditional remedies in oriental countries for hundreds of years. Recently, in a large scale screening test, we have found that cinnamophilin, a new lignan (FIG. 1), isolated from Cinnamomum philippinense, possessed both TX synthase inhibitory and TXA.sub.2 receptor antagonizing properties. Lu et al. reported the isolation of other alkaloids (not cinnamophilin) from the root of this plant (Yakagaku Zasshi 87, 1278, 1967). In this study, the pharmacological effect of cinnamophilin was determined in vitro in human platelets, rat isolated aorta and guinea-pig isolated trachea and in vivo in mice and guinea-pigs.

Inhibiting Activity on Platelet Aggregation
A. Preparation of aggregation inducing agent
1. Collagen (bovine tendon) in 15 mM aqueous acetic acid was homogenized at 4.degree. C. to form a well dispersed suspension in 1 mg/ml and stocked at -70.degree. C. Before using, it was thawed and well homogenized.
2. PAF was dissolved in CCl.sub.4 and stocked at 20.degree. C. Before using, it was diluted with deionized water.
3. Adenosine (ADP) and sodium arachidonate (AA) were dissolved in deionized water for use.
B. Preparation of platelets
A suspension of platelets was prepared according to the reported method. EDTA (100 mM) and the blood obtained from rabbit's ear vein were mixed in the ratio of 1:4, and immediately centrifuged (120.times. g) at room temperature for 10 minutes. Platelet-rich plasma was subjected to further centrifuge (500.times. g) for another 10 minutes. After the plasma was removed, the platelets in the lower layer were suspended in the Tyrode solution containing EDTA (2 mM) and bovine serum albumin (3.5 mg/ml), and subjected to centrifuge (500.times. g) again for 10 minutes. The platelets obtained were suspended in a Tyrode solution containing no EDTA, and was adjusted to about 4.5.times.10.sup.8 cells/ml by a cell counter. 1 mM of calcium ion (Ca.sup.2+) was added to the suspension. 30 minutes after the addition, the experiment was conducted. The composition of Tyrode (nM): NaCl (136.9), KCl (2.7), NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 (0.4), NaHCO.sub.3 (11.9), glucose (11.1).
C. Platelet aggregation and ATP release reaction test
The method reported by Born (J. Physiol. 168, 178, 1963) was used to determine the platelet aggregation by a Lumi-aggregometer (Model 1020, Payton, Canada). Platelet suspension (0.4 ml) was added into a small glass tube coated with silicone, and stirred at 900 rpm with a small magnetic stirrer. Unless otherwise specified, the antagonist was added 1 minute before the inducing agent, and all the reactions were carried out at 37.degree. C. The aggregation was calculated by following formula:
aggregation (% )=(light absorption before adding inducing agent-light absorption after adding inducing agent)/(light absorption before adding inducing agent-light absorption of Tyrode solution).times.100%
Relaxing effect of aortic vascular contraction, and tracheal contraction.
A. Rat Aortic Contraction
Wistar rats of either sex weighing 250 g to 300 g were killed by a blow to the head. The thoracic aorta was isolated and excess fat and connective tissue were removed. Vessels were cut into rings of about 5 mm in length and mounted in organ baths containing 5 ml Krebs solution of the following composition (mM): NaCl (118.4), KCl (4.7), CaCl (1.9), MgSO.sub.4 (1.2), KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 (1.2), NaHCO.sub.3 (25.0) and glucose (11.7). The tissue bath solution was maintained at 37.degree. C. and gassed with 95% O.sub.2 :5% CO.sub.2 mixture. Two stainless steel hooks were inserted into the aortic lumen, one was fixed while the other was connected to a transducer. Aortae were equilibrated in the medium for 90 min with three changes of Krebs solution and maintained under an optimal tension of 1 g before specific experimental protocols were initiated.
Contraction was recorded isometrically via a force-displacement transducer connected to a Grass polygraph. Aortae were allowed to preincubate for 15 minutes with cinnamophilin before generating the cumulative concentration-response curve with each agonist for 15-30 min at 3 min intervals. Results are expressed as a percentage of the maximal control response for each agonist.
B. Guinea-pig tracheal contraction
Tracheae from guinea-pigs were dissected out, transferred to a dish containing Krebs solution and cut transversely between the segments of cartilage. Several of these, usually about 5, were tied together so as to form a chain, which was then mounted in Krebs solution at 37.degree. C., gassed with 95% O.sub.2 plus 5% CO.sub.2. One end of the chain was attached to a fixed pin in the bath and the other to a transducer connected to a Grass polygraph. Resting tension of each tissue was set at 1 g, Tracheae were allowed to equilibrate for at least 1 hr and washed-periodically.
Cumulative concentration-response curves were obtained by application of various concentrations of spasmogens for 15-18 min at 3 minutes intervals. Tracheal rings were pre-incubated with cinnamophilin for 15 min, then various concentrations of spasmogens were added for 15-18 min at 3 min intervals. Results were expressed as percentage of the maximal control response for each agonist.
C. Antioxidation assay
Peroxidation of rabbit brain vesicular membrane lipids was assayed as previously described. Rabbit brain was homogenized in 25 mM tris-(hydroxymethy)aminomethane HCl containing 0.15M potassium chloride, pH 7.5 (10% wt/vol), and centrifuged at low speed (1.000.times. g for 15 minutes). The test agent (dissoved in 5 .mu.l dimethyl sulfoxide) was added to the supernatant fraction (0.5 ml), which was then incubated with 220 .mu.M adenosine diphosphate and 2 .mu.M ferric chloride at 37.degree. C. for 1 hr. The control supernatant was not incubated. The reaction was terminated by adding 0.4 mL of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance reagent (0.02 % trichloroacetic acid and 0.8% thiobarbituric acid) and boiled for 1.5 minutes. The sample was acidified with 2.3N HCl (0.5 mL), extracted with 1-butanol (1 mL), and centrifuged at 3,000 g for 5 minutes.
The absorbency of the butanol phase was determined at 532 nm in a spectrophotometer and the amount of malondialdehyde present was determined by linear regression analysis of standard curve.
In some experiments, the cinnamophilin was found potentially to inhibit the platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid (AA), ADP, collagen, U-46619, A-23187. A potential inhibition was observed in U-46619 induced platelet aggregation. Cinnamophilin also found to inhibit second phase aggregation of human platelet-rich plasma caused by ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and adrenaline (Table 1). The compounds were found to inhibit markedly the rabbit platelet aggregation which was induced by 100 .mu.M AA, 1 .mu.M U-46619, 10 .mu.g/ml collagen, 0.1 U/ml thrombin, 20 .mu.M ADP, 2 ng/ml PAF, 0.5% DMSO as control (Table 2). 0.03-10 .mu.M of cinnamophilin was found to inhibit markedly the TXA.sub.2 formation caused by AA, and simultaneously increase PGE.sub.2 and cAMP levels (Table 3). Cinnamophilin was found also to inhibit the rat aortic contraction induced by U-46619 at 7.3.+-.0.2 pA2 comparing to 0.5% DMSO as control (Table 4). It also was found to inhibit the guinea-pig tracheal contraction which was induced by U-46619 at 5.2.+-.0.1 pA2(Table 5). Cinnamophilin also inhibited the phasic contractions induced by noradrenaline and high potassium (80 mM) (Table 6).
By antioxidation assay cinnamophilin was found to be a potential antioxidation capable comparing to 0.5% DMSO as control. The absorbency of the butanol phase was determined at 500 nm in a spectrophotometer shown as Table 7 and FIG. 2, 20 .mu.M of cinnamophilin was found the antioxidation capable lower than .alpha.-tocopherol at the same concentration, but a potential antioxidation capable comparing to 0.5% DMSO as control. 40 .mu.M cinnamophilin possesses potential inhibitory effect on fatty oil peroxidation.
