实验参考方法

Cell experiment:

Appropriate quantities of Hycanthone (1 to 100 μg) in 10 mL maintenance medium are added to plastic flasks (75 cm2) containing approximately 3×107 LLC-MK2 cells in monolayer, which are then incubated at 35°C for 24 h. Maintenance medium is decanted, and 2 mL influenza virus is added onto cell monolayers and incubated at 35°C for 2 h. The multiplicity of infection is approximately 1.0. Inoculum is removed and 10 mL maintenance medium is added to each flask, which is then incubated at 35°C for 24 h. Supernatant fluid is decanted, centrifuged at 100,000 g for 1 h, dialyzed against HCI-KCI buffer (pH 2.0) at 4°C for 24 h, and then dialyzed against two changes of phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.1) at 4°C for 24 h. Fluids are passed through filters to obtain sterile preparations. Samples are stored at -80°C until assayed for interferon activity[2].

Animal experiment:

Female outbred Swiss albino mice used as definitive hosts weigh 18 to 20 g at the time of infection. Hycanthone is administered at 0.01 mL/g body weight intramuscularly by splitting the dose into the two hind legs, so that each mouse receives 80 mg/kg body weight of the free base. Treatments are usually performed during the 8th week after infection[1].

产品描述

Hycanthone is an effective antischistosomai drug.

Hycanthone at 20 mg/mL or more is progressively more detrimental to cell viability. Results reveal that increased concentrations of Hycanthone, ranging from 0.1 to 10 μg/mL, progressively reduces viral interferon yields as much as 73% compare to that of controls[2].

Results show that the incorporation of tritiated thymidine into TCA-precipitable material of adult sensitive worms undergo a progressive decrease after treatment with Hycanthone. Immature worms are totally unaffected by Hycanthone at all times tested. Male worms treated with Hycanthone show signs of a possible partial recovery from the initial low levels of incorporation. The incorporation of tritiated leucine by drug-sensitive worms treated with Hycanthone is inhibited by 40 to 50% in the first four days after treatment. Results show that, 7 days after Hycanthone treatment, both ribosomal RNA species are reduced by at least 80% with respect to untreated worms, with some indication of a possible accumulation of heavier precursor molecules[1].

Hycanthone Inhibits Inflammasome Activation and Neuroinflammation-Induced Depression-Like Behaviors in Mice

Biomol Ther (Seoul) 2023 Mar 1;31(2):161-167.PMID:36203404DOI:10.4062/biomolther.2022.073.

Despite the various medications used in clinics, the efforts to develop more effective treatments for depression continue to increase in the past decades mainly because of the treatment-resistant population, and the testing of several hypotheses- and target-based treatments. Undesirable side effects and unresponsiveness to current medications fuel the drive to solve this top global health problem. In this study, we focused on neuroinflammatory response-mediated depression which represents a cluster of depression etiology both in animal models and humans. Several meta-analyses reported that proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were increased in major depressive disorder patients. Inflammatory mediators implicated in depression include type-I interferon and inflammasome pathways. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of neuroinflammatory cascades underlying the pathophysiology of depression, we introduced Hycanthone, an antischistosomal drug, to check whether it can counteract depressive-like behaviors in vivo and normalize the inflammation-induced changes in vitro. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment increased proinflammatory cytokine expression in the murine microglial cells as well as the stimulation of type I interferon-related pathways that are directly or indirectly regulated by Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) activation. Hycanthone treatment attenuated those changes possibly by inhibiting the JAK-STAT pathway and inflammasome activation. Hycanthone also ameliorated depressive-like behaviors by LPS. Taken together, we suggest that the inhibitory action of Hycanthone against the interferon pathway leading to attenuation of depressive-like behaviors can be a novel therapeutic mechanism for treating depression.

Molecular basis for Hycanthone drug action in schistosome parasites

Mol Biochem Parasitol 2020 Mar;236:111257.PMID:32027942DOI:10.1016/j.molbiopara.2020.111257.

Hycanthone (HYC) is a retired drug formerly used to treat schistosomiasis caused by infection from Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium. Resistance to HYC was first observed in S. mansoni laboratory strains and in patients in the 1970s and the use of this drug was subsequently discontinued with the substitution of praziquantel (PZQ) as the single antischistosomal drug in the worldwide formulary. In endemic regions, multiple organizations have partnered with the World Health Organization to deliver PZQ for morbidity control and prevention. While the monotherapy reduces the disease burden, additional drugs are needed to use in combination with PZQ to stay ahead of potential drug resistance. HYC will not be reintroduced into the schistosomiasis drug formulary as a combination drug because it was shown to have adverse properties including mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic activities. Oxamniquine (OXA) was used to treat S. mansoni infection in Brazil during the brief period of HYC use, until the 1990s. Its antischistosomal efficacy has been shown to work through the same mechanism as HYC and it does not possess the undesirable properties linked to HYC. OXA demonstrates cross-resistance in Schistosoma strains with HYC resistance and both are prodrugs requiring metabolic activation in the worm to toxic sulfated forms. The target activating enzyme has been identified as a sulfotransferase enzyme and is currently used as the basis for a structure-guided drug design program. Here, we characterize the sulfotransferases from S. mansoni and S. haematobium in complexes with HYC to compare and contrast with OXA-bound sulfotransferase crystal structures. Although HYC is discontinued for antischistosomal treatment, it can serve as a resource for design of derivative compounds without contraindication.

Hycanthone: a frameshift mutagen

Science 1971 Jun 4;172(3987):1058-60.PMID:5573958DOI:10.1126/science.172.3987.1058.

Rapid spot-test screening of antischistosomal agents reveals that Hycanthone is a potent frameshift mutagen while the closely related compound, miracil D, is nonmutagenic in Salmonella. Both Hycanthone and miracil D are frameshift mutagens for T4 bacteriophage during growth in Escherichia coli.

Resistance of schistosomes to Hycanthone and oxamniquine

Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz 1989 Oct;84 Suppl 1:38-45.PMID:2638729DOI:10.1590/s0074-02761989000500005.

Genetic crosses between phenotypically resistant and sensitive schistosomes demonstrated that resistance to Hycanthone and oxamniquine behaves like a recessive trait, thus suggesting that resistance is due to the lack of some factor. We hypothesized that, in order to kill schistosomes, Hycanthone and oxamniquine need to be converted into an active metabolite by some parasite enzyme which, if inactive, results in drug resistance. Esterification of the drugs seemed to be the most likely event as it would lead to the production of an alkylating agent upon dissociation of the ester. An artificial ester of Hycanthone was indeed active even in resistant worms, thus indirectly supporting our hypothesis. In addition, several lines of evidence demonstrated that exposure to Hycanthone and oxamniquine results in alkylation of worm macromolecules. Thus, radioactive drugs formed covalent bonds with the DNA of sensitive (but not of resistant) schistosomes; an antiserum raised against Hycanthone detected the presence of the drug in the purified DNA fraction of sensitive (but not of resistant) schistosomes; a drug-DNA adduct was isolated from hycanthone-treated worms and fully characterized as hycanthone-deoxyguanosine.

Lucanthone and its derivative Hycanthone inhibit apurinic endonuclease-1 (APE1) by direct protein binding

PLoS One 2011;6(9):e23679.PMID:21935361DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0023679.

Lucanthone and Hycanthone are thioxanthenone DNA intercalators used in the 1980s as antitumor agents. Lucanthone is in Phase I clinical trial, whereas Hycanthone was pulled out of Phase II trials. Their potential mechanism of action includes DNA intercalation, inhibition of nucleic acid biosyntheses, and inhibition of enzymes like topoisomerases and the dual function base excision repair enzyme apurinic endonuclease 1 (APE1). Lucanthone inhibits the endonuclease activity of APE1, without affecting its redox activity. Our goal was to decipher the precise mechanism of APE1 inhibition as a prerequisite towards development of improved therapeutics that can counteract higher APE1 activity often seen in tumors. The IC(50) values for inhibition of APE1 incision of depurinated plasmid DNA by lucanthone and Hycanthone were 5 µM and 80 nM, respectively. The K(D) values (affinity constants) for APE1, as determined by BIACORE binding studies, were 89 nM for lucanthone/10 nM for Hycanthone. APE1 structures reveal a hydrophobic pocket where hydrophobic small molecules like thioxanthenones can bind, and our modeling studies confirmed such docking. Circular dichroism spectra uncovered change in the helical structure of APE1 in the presence of lucanthone/Hycanthone, and notably, this effect was decreased (Phe266Ala or Phe266Cys or Trp280Leu) or abolished (Phe266Ala/Trp280Ala) when hydrophobic site mutants were employed. Reduced inhibition by lucanthone of the diminished endonuclease activity of hydrophobic mutant proteins (as compared to wild type APE1) supports that binding of lucanthone to the hydrophobic pocket dictates APE1 inhibition. The DNA binding capacity of APE1 was marginally inhibited by lucanthone, and not at all by Hycanthone, supporting our hypothesis that thioxanthenones inhibit APE1, predominantly, by direct interaction. Finally, lucanthone-induced degradation was drastically reduced in the presence of short and long lived free radical scavengers, e.g., TRIS and DMSO, suggesting that the mechanism of APE1 breakdown may involve free radical-induced peptide bond cleavage.
