Detailed Description
The surface area of the alveoli in the lung is large, and the surface is distributed with abundant capillaries. The pulmonary inhalation drug preparation can not only ensure that the drug is intensively distributed in the lung and quickly exert the drug effect, but also avoid the first pass effect of the liver and the intestine and improve the bioavailability, is recommended by the world health organization as the first choice preparation for respiratory diseases, and is particularly suitable for quickly treating acute pulmonary diseases.
Due to the poor water solubility of cepharanthine, a common dosage form of cepharanthine as a drug is a tablet, and the administration mode is oral. The patent application with the publication number of CN102475680A discloses a stephanine hydrochloride injection, which is prepared by taking stephanine hydrochloride as a raw material to obtain a water-soluble injection. However, the patient compliance of the injection is poor, professional administration is required, and the drug cannot be locally distributed at the focal site, which is not suitable for the treatment of pulmonary diseases, especially acute pulmonary diseases.
Experiments show that the inhalation can improve the blood concentration of the lung and respiratory tract for preventing and treating the novel coronavirus.
The invention provides a cepharanthine inhalation medicament, which is a dry powder composition or a solution composition prepared from cepharanthine and pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary materials. On the basis, the cepharanthine dry powder inhalation preparation is prepared by taking the dry powder composition as a raw material, or the cepharanthine aerosol inhalation preparation is prepared by taking the solution composition as a raw material.
A Dry Powder Inhalation (DPI) is a preparation which is prepared by preparing cepharanthine and pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary materials into cepharanthine micro Powder (with the particle size of 0.1-25 μm), then forming capsules, vesicles or multi-dose storage forms with a carrier, placing the mixture into a Dry Powder Inhalation device, and inhaling atomized medicine into the lung when a patient breathes autonomously.
The inhalation preparation provided by the invention has the characteristics of targeting the pathological part with the medicine, high local medicine concentration (instead of exposing the whole human body to the high-concentration medicine), small toxic and side effect, high medicine utilization degree, quick response and the like. The dry powder inhalation device involved in the cepharanthine dry powder inhalation formulation comprises four basic functional components, namely: a dosing system, an aerosolization system, a powder degradation system, an aerosol inlet introduction system (available from shanghai yitai balance pharmaceutical co., ltd.). The cepharanthine dry powder inhalation preparation can be prepared into single dosage type, multi-dosage type and reservoir type to meet the requirements of different people and occasions. The cepharanthine used in the present invention can be prepared by any known method.
The present invention will be described more specifically and further illustrated with reference to specific examples, which are by no means intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
Example 1 preparation of Dry powder inhalation preparation
Weighing 1 part by weight of cepharanthine, sieving with a 200-mesh sieve, adding 20 parts by weight of stearic acid, and placing at 65 ℃ to fully dissolve the cepharanthine; adding ethanol solution of polysorbate 80 (mass ratio of polysorbate 80 to ethanol is 1: 4, and mass of polysorbate 80 is 1-3 times of that of cepharanthine), adding appropriate amount of distilled water, and vortexing for 1min to obtain cepharanthine-polysorbate microemulsion.
Dripping 65 deg.C cepharanthine-polysorbate microemulsion into 2 deg.C cold water at a speed of 1 drop/5 s under electromagnetic stirring (1000r/min), and stirring at2 deg.C for 15min to obtain cepharanthine microsphere. Drying the cepharanthine microspheres into cepharanthine micro powder by using a YC-015 experimental spray dryer.
And 4 parts by weight of 200-mesh lactose (used as a carrier of the cepharanthine micropowder) can also be added, and the mixture is fully and uniformly mixed and filled into a capsule of an inhaler to obtain the cepharanthine-polysorbate-lactose micropowder.
EXAMPLE 2 preparation of Dry powder inhalant
Weighing a proper amount of cepharanthine, poloxamer (F127) and citric acid according to the mass ratio of 1:1.5:3, dissolving the mixture in ethanol with a proper volume, uniformly mixing by vortex, drying by nitrogen at 37 ℃, further evaporating by using a rotary evaporator, adding sodium bicarbonate with the weight being 4 times that of the cepharanthine, uniformly mixing, finally adding a certain amount of water to form a nano suspension, and performing spray drying to obtain the cepharanthine micro powder. Wherein citric acid and sodium bicarbonate are used as disintegrating agents. When the preparation is prepared into a preparation for pulmonary administration, the disintegrating agent can be rapidly disintegrated under the action of mucus in respiratory tract after the micropowder enters the lung, micron-sized cepharanthine micropowder particles can be dispersed into nanoscale particles, and the nanoscale drug particles can avoid phagocytosis of macrophages due to small enough particle size, so that the drug effect exerting time of the drug in the lung is prolonged, the administration interval is further prolonged, and the administration times are reduced.
EXAMPLE 3 preparation of Dry powder inhalant
Pulverizing cepharanthine to particle size distribution of 0.1-25 μm with jet mill or rotor-stator colloid mill to obtain cepharanthine micropowder.
Example 4 preparation of Aerosol inhalation formulation
Atomizing inhalation preparation one: regulating physiological saline with acetic acid until pH values are 3.5, 3.0 and 2.5 respectively, using the prepared solution as a solvent, adding cepharanthine into the solvent, preparing cepharanthine solutions with cepharanthine concentrations of 5mg/mL, 10mg/mL and 50mg/mL respectively, after vortex oscillation, completely dissolving the cepharanthine, clarifying the solution, and putting the solution with the pH value of 4.0-5.0 into an inhalation device, thus obtaining the aerosol inhalation preparation.
Atomizing inhalation preparation two: the method comprises the steps of using sulfuric acid to adjust physiological saline to enable the pH value of the physiological saline to be 1.5, using the sulfuric acid as a solvent, adding cepharanthine into the solvent to prepare a cepharanthine solution with the concentration of 5mg/mL, carrying out vortex oscillation, completely dissolving the cepharanthine, clarifying the solution, enabling the pH value to be within the range of 4.5-5.0, and loading the solution into an inhalation device to obtain the aerosol inhalation preparation.
Stephanine is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, has poor solubility in aqueous solution, and is alkaline, so the pH value of the solution is adjusted, the solubility of the solution is improved, acid radical ions in body fluid are selected for trial, and finally, the acetic acid and stephanine sulfate atomization inhalation preparation is successfully prepared.

FIG. 13 shows the results of the Time-of-Addition test of mefloquine hydrochloride on xCoV, indicating that mefloquine hydrochloride exerts an inhibitory effect after xCoV enters cells, but cannot inhibit the entrance of xCoV.
Experimental five, transcriptomics analysis of cepharanthine against xCoV infection
Cepharanthine (CEP) was tested at a concentration of 6.25 μ M and Vero E6 cells were infected with xCoV with an MOI of 0.01. Four groups were set up for the experiment: vero, Vero + Virus, Vero + CEP, Vero + Virus + CEP. After 72h incubation, cell samples were collected and RNA extraction was performed using TRIzol, rRNA was removed using the QIAseq FastSelect-rRNA HMR Kit (Qiagen, product No. 334387), and NEBNext Ultra was usedTMRNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (NEB, product No. E7770L) A mRNA sequencing Library was created and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed using an Illumina Hiseq 2500 sequencing system (Annuodda Biotechnology Co., Ltd.).
FastQC (http:// www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/FastQC /) tool and FASTX _ trimmers in the FASTX toolkit were used to remove low quality data and linker sequences; mapping the trimmed RNA-seq sequence to a reference green monkey genome ChlSab1.1 (GCA _000409795.2) using HISAT2 (v2.1.0); deletion of double-ended data repeats using SAMtools (v 1.5); counting each different gene using HTseq; use of DESeq2 to identify differentially expressed genes between different experimental groups; calculating the False Discovery Rate (FDR) by adjusting the P value by using a Benjamini-Hochberg method; genes with FDR q values <0.05 and | Log2 (fold change) | >1 were considered differentially expressed genes; and (4) drawing a volcanic chart by using a ggplot2 software package of the R language.
Gct format files (including Vero vs. Vero + Virus, Vero + Virus vs. Vero + Virus + CEP) are used as the process files. The gene set includes (1) regulation of heat shock response mediated by heat shock factor 1(HSF1), regulation of cellular pyrogenicity, HSF1 dependent transactivation, HYPOXIA, defense response to viruses, HIF1 targets, adipocyte differentiation and autophagy, available from the MSigDB, KEGG and Reactome databases, (2) up/down regulation genes of viruses, which are differentially expressed genes in the RNA-seq data described above with FDR q values <0.05 and | Log2 (fold change) | > 1. The Normalized Enrichment Score (NES) value and FDR value were obtained from the genome enrichment P values calculated for 1000 permutations using Signal2Noise mode run GSEA4.0.3 (https:// www.gsea-msigdb. org/gsea/index. jsp). The visualization heatmap is drawn by the R software package of GENE-E. And a heatmap is drawn from the MSigDB, KEGG, and Reactome databases to display the selected gene set by pathway patterns.
Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was performed on the genes described above that achieved differential expression using the Metascape tool (https:// Metascape. org). Pathways with P values <0.05 were used as significantly enriched pathways, the most significantly enriched pathway being demonstrated using a bubble map created by R package ggplot2, and the Cytoscape in the Metascape website was used to map the interaction network and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network for each important enriched pathway. And each given gene list was analyzed in detail PPI enrichment using BioGrid and OmniPath.
Transcriptome sequencing analysis suggests that stephanine exerts an anti-coronavirus effect by reversing most deregulated genes and pathways in infected cells, primarily by interfering with cellular stress responses, including the endoplasmic reticulum stress/unfolded protein response and the HSF 1-mediated heat shock response.
The above experiment verifies the effect of cepharanthine by using pangolin coronavirus xCoV, and in view of the homologous relationship between xCoV and SARS-COV-2, it can be inferred that cepharanthine has the same effect on coronavirus, such as novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV. The inhalation administration mode can improve the local medicine concentration, is favorable for improving the bioavailability, and further can deduce that the cepharanthine inhalation preparation can be applied to the preparation of the medicine or the medicine for preventing and/or treating the pangolin coronavirus xCoV.
