Abstract

Over the past three decades, there has been a significant growth in the use of natural products, with approximately 80% of individuals using them for some aspect of primary healthcare. Our laboratories have identified and studied natural compounds with analgesic effects from dry land plants or their associated fungus during the past ten years. Here, we isolated and characterized thirteen betulin analogs and fifteen betulinic acid analogs for their capacity to prevent calcium influx brought on by depolarization in sensory neurons. The in vitro inhibition of voltage-gated calcium channels by the top drugs was then assessed using whole cell patch clamp electrophysiology. In vivo experiments, conducted at two sites, evaluated the best compound in acute and tonic, neuropathic, inflammatory, post-operative and visceral models of pain. We found that the betulinic acid analog inhibited calcium influx in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons by inhibiting N- (CaV2.2) and T- (CaV3) type voltage-gated calcium channels. Moreover, intrathecal delivery of analog had analgesic activity in both spared nerve injury model of neuropathic pain and acute and tonic pain induced by formalin. The results presented herein highlight the potential antinociceptive properties of betulinic acid analog and set the stage for the development of novel non-opioid pain therapeutics based on the triterpenoid scaffold of betulinic acid.

摘要

在过去三十年中,天然产物的使用显著增加,约80%的人在初级医疗保健的某些方面使用它们。在过去十年里,我们的实验室从旱地植物或其相关真菌中鉴定并研究了具有镇痛作用的天然化合物。在此,我们分离并表征了13种桦木醇类似物和15种桦木酸类似物,以评估它们预防感觉神经元去极化引起的钙内流的能力。然后使用全细胞膜片钳电生理学评估了顶级药物对电压门控钙通道的体外抑制作用。在两个地点进行的体内实验评估了最佳化合物在急性和持续性、神经性、炎症性、术后和内脏性疼痛模型中的效果。我们发现,桦木酸类似物通过抑制N-(CaV2.2)型和T-(CaV3)型电压门控钙通道,抑制大鼠背根神经节神经元中的钙内流。此外,鞘内注射该类似物在神经性疼痛的 spared nerve injury 模型以及福尔马林诱导的急性和持续性疼痛中均具有镇痛活性。本文给出的结果突出了桦木酸类似物潜在的抗伤害感受特性,并为基于桦木酸三萜支架开发新型非阿片类疼痛治疗药物奠定了基础。
