The invention belongs to the field of medical use, and specifically relates to the use of IRAK4 inhibitor in the preparation of drugs for preventing or treating ALI/ARDS diseases and related diseases thereof.
Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute progressive hypoxic respiratory failure caused by various intrapulmonary and extrapulmonary pathogenic factors other than cardiogenic. ALI/ARDS has the same pathophysiological changes, which are two stages of the same disease. ALI represents the early stage and the relatively mild stage, while ARDS represents the more serious stage in the later stage. A variety of risk factors can induce ALI/ARDS, which are mainly divided into intrapulmonary factors (direct factors): such as severe lung infection, gastric content inhalation, lung contusion, inhalation of toxic gases, drowning, oxygen poisoning, etc., and extrapulmonary factors (indirect factors): such as severe infection, severe non-chest trauma, acute severe pancreatitis, massive blood transfusion, extracorporeal circulation, diffuse intravascular coagulation, etc.
At present, studies have found that the pathogenesis of acute lung injury is relatively complex. Apart from the direct damage of some pathogenic factors to pulmonary capillaries and lung tissue, more are pulmonary capillary endothelial cells and alveolar epithelial cells damage caused by uncontrolled lung inflammatory response indirectly mediated by a variety of inflammatory cells (such as macrophages, neutrophils, lymphocytes, etc.) and their released inflammatory mediators and cytokines (such as tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin interleukin -6(IL-6)), interleukin-8 (IL-8), etc.), the permeability alveolar and pulmonary capillary is increased, leading to pulmonary edema and hyaline membrane formation. Due to alveolar edema and alveolar collapse, severe ventilation/blood flow ratio imbalance is caused, especially intrapulmonary shunt is significantly increased, resulting in severe hypoxemia. Pulmonary vasospasm and pulmonary microthrombosis formation trigger pulmonary hypertension.
Under the action of toxin factors, mononuclear macrophages (AM) can secrete more than 100 kinds of cytokines or inflammatory transmitters, such as TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, etc. In addition, AM can also activate vascular endothelial cells (EC) to produce IL-1, IL-8 and PAF, and release oxygen free radicals, proteases and various cytokines. The above factors are chemotactic factors of granulocytes and directly or indirectly participate in lung injury. IL-8 makes granulocytes degranulate through strong chemotactic effect on granulocytes, produces oxygen free radicals, proteases and other transmitters; increases the penetration of granulocytes into endothelial cell layer; promotes granulocytes through direct or indirect ways enter the interstitial gap and inflammatory area. IL-1 can promote the production of superoxide anions, and can activate neutrophils, increase the levels of protein differentiation antigens CD11 and CD12 expressed on the cell surface, and stimulate lung capillary endothelial cells to increase their surface intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (TCAM 1), leading to the interaction between white blood cells and endothelial cells, promoting the aggregation and adhesion of neutrophils (PMN), and releasing lysosomal enzymes, elastase and a large number of reactive oxygen species and superoxide ions, this can cause damage to vascular endothelial cells and alveolar epithelial cells.
Neutrophil (PMN) activation is the main cause of lung endothelial cell damage. Under normal circumstances, the number of PMN in the lung interstitium is quite small. In the early stage of ALI caused by various reasons, lung cells can produce a variety of direct chemotactic PMN substances, such as platelet activating factor (PAF), tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), complement C5a, etc. The above chemotactic substances can activate PMN, making a large number of PMN migrate and “sequester” in the pulmonary circulation, it adheres to the surface of pulmonary capillaries and releases a series of harmful substances that damage endothelial cells, such as PMN elastase and collagenase, toxic oxygen products (oxygen free radicals), PAF, etc. In addition to direct adhesion and damage to endothelial cells, PMN can also directly enter the alveolar cavity, causing epithelial damage and alveolitis. The permeability increases after endothelial and epithelial injury, allowing protein-rich fluid to leak into the stroma and alveolar cavity.
TNF-α is the initiator of ALI, which can play a role by inducing the production of NO, endothelin, oxygen free radicals, polypeptide transmitters, lipid transmitters and adhesion molecules, etc. As a proinflammatory factor, neutrophils can be adsorbed and stayed in the damaged part of lung tissue, combined with EC, and then transferred to lung parenchyma. Studies have shown that PMN adhesion to pulmonary capillary EC is an important way to cause ALI. In addition, TNF-α can cause lung injury through the following ways: TNF-α binds to TNF receptors in lung tissue, impairs lysosomes, and enzyme leakage causes lung injury; TNF-α stimulates granulocyte adhesion, “respiratory burst” and secondary cell degranulation, releasing protease, PAF and oxygen free radicals; stimulating mononuclear macrophages to produce IL-1, interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) to cause tissue damage; TNF-α directly acts on EC to damage it, resulting in increased capillary permeability and thrombosis formation.
At present, the main therapeutic drugs for ALI/ARDS include anti-inflammatory drugs (glucocorticoids), antioxidants (N-acetylcysteine and propylcysteine), anticoagulant drugs (aspirin), antifungal drugs (ketoconazole), etc. However, all drugs have certain limitations in clinical application or need further clinical verification. Therefore, up to now, there is still a lack of effective drugs for ALI/ARDS treatment.
Interleukin-1 receptor kinase 4(IRAK4) is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase, which plays an important role in activating the immune system. It is a key factor downstream of interleukin (IL)-1β family receptor and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway. After it binds to MyD88, it activates IRAK1 or IRAK2, thereby transmitting signals to the downstream, thereby activating NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, it causes the expression and secretion of various inflammatory cytokines and anti-apoptosis molecules (such as TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, etc.). CA-4948, BAY-1834845, BAY-1830839, BMS-986126, and PF-06650833 are currently several IRAK4 inhibitors that are in the clinical development stage. They inhibit the activity of IRAK4 kinase to inhibit the activity of various inflammatory cytokines in the downstream signaling pathway mediated by IRAK4. They are mainly used in the treatment of cancer, inflammatory diseases, lupus erythematosus, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and other autoimmune diseases. At present, there is no report of IRAK4 inhibitor for the treatment of ALI/ARDS.

In addition, Table 1 above also shows the IC50 results of the compounds.
It can be known from above Table 1:
Experimental animals: female Balb/c mice, SPF grade, 36 mice, aged 6-7 weeks, purchased from Shanghai Xipuer-Bikai Laboratory Animal Co., Ltd. Experimental method: The mice with balanced weight were randomly divided into 6 groups: normal group, model group, dexamethasone group, compound 146 group, compound 41 group and compound 450 group, and were respectively orally given vehicle, dexamethasone 10 mg/kg, compound 146 150 mg/kg, compound 41 75 mg/kg, compound 450 100 mg/kg (purchased from abmole China), and the administration volume was 10 ml/kg, the normal group and the model group were given the same volume of vehicle (5% DMSO+15% Solutol+80% PBS). After 0.5 h of administration, all animals except the normal group inhaled 3% isoflurane for anesthesia, LPS(Sigma, 1750 ug/kg) was given by using a nebulizer (Aeroneb®Rev.B 30-192) via tracheal atomization to induce ALI/ARDS model. LPS induced model was given again after 6 hours, and the dose was the same as that of the first administration. After 24 hours from LPS induced model, all mice were weighed, the animals used were anesthetized and the alveolar lavage fluid was collected, the lower cell pellets were collected after centrifugation, and the cells were resuspended, fixed with methanol and stained with Wright-Giemsa, and the eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes were counted by an optical microscope. The mice were euthanized with excess carbon dioxide. After the maximum blood volume was collected from the heart, the left lung was fixed with neutral formaldehyde and embedded in paraffin, sliced and HE staining, photographed to observe the lung injury and score. The data were represented by mean±standard error (Mean±SEM), the differences between groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA/Dunnett test, and p<0.05 was considered to have significant differences.
Lung pathology scoring criteria: {circle around (1)} alveolar congestion; {circle around (2)} hemorrhage; {circle around (3)} neutrophil infiltration into airspace or vascular wall; {circle around (4)} alveolar wall/thickness formed by hyaline membrane. Each category was scored on a scale of 0 to 4: 0=no damage, 1=damage field ratio<25%, 2=25% <damage field ratio≤50%, 3=50% <damage field ratio≤75%, 4=diffuse damage, and pathological score was completed by professional and technical personnel using blind method. Experimental results: Table 2 shows the results after 24 hours of acting.
