Description

Application of pharmaceutical composition in preparation of candida albicans resistant medicines
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicines, in particular to application of a pharmaceutical composition in preparation of an anti-candida albicans drug.
Background
Candida albicans is a fungus, and causes diseases when the immunity of the human body is low, and can cause shallow and deep infection and even threaten life. It is estimated that over 25 ten thousand patients develop invasive candidiasis annually worldwide with mortality rates of over 40%. Although more than 100 candida species have been found, candida albicans is still considered the most common conditionally pathogenic species, 80% of candida infections are associated with candida albicans, which accounts for about 19% of infections in intensive care units. Thus, candida albicans infection often places a heavy burden on society and economy.
At present, medicines for treating candida albicans are mainly azole medicines and polyene medicines, however, the medicines have the defects of narrow antibacterial spectrum, large toxicity and side effects and the like to different degrees; in addition, the phenomenon of drug resistance of candida albicans is more and more prominent with the long-term and large-scale use of antifungal drugs. The emergence of resistance to candida albicans may be associated with the following causes:
(1) Altering the target molecule: changing the structure of the target protein reduces the drug sensitivity or over-expresses the target protein, thereby causing the drug to fail, such as the mutation of ERG11 gene causes the amino acid sequence of the azole drug target enzyme to change, thereby disabling the azole drug.
(2) Reduction of intracellular drug content: by reducing cell permeability or enhancing cell membrane efflux pump activity, thereby reducing intracellular drug content, such as reduced cytosine permease activity in candida albicans cells, absorption of 5-FC can be reduced, resulting in the development of drug resistance.
(3) Altering metabolic pathways: fungi can increase resistance to drugs by altering metabolic pathways, such as resistance to polyenes, primarily by depleting ergosterols through loss of function mutations in the ergosterol biosynthesis genes, thereby producing alternative sterols that do not interact efficiently with polyenes and therefore have reduced sensitivity to antimycotics.
(4) Cell wall adaptation changes: the Fks1 protein is a catalytic subunit of the glucan synthase complex, and the coding gene thereof is mutated, which is likely to lead to reduced sensitivity to echinocandin.
(5) Formation of candida albicans biofilm: candida albicans biofilm can reduce the entry of drugs into cells, thereby increasing resistance to commonly used antifungal drugs (e.g., fluconazole).
Although the mechanism of drug resistance of candida albicans is known at present, methods for enhancing antifungal effect or reversing drug resistance by influencing the drug resistance mechanism based on the original antifungal are few. Therefore, the enhancement of the antifungal effect of common antifungal agents by exploring novel small molecule compounds, thereby achieving the effect of improving the treatment of candida albicans infection, is an effective means for resisting candida albicans at present.

1. biofilm formation checkerboard experiment
After washing activated candida albicans three times with PBS, the bacterial solution is diluted to 1X 10 by using RPMI1640 culture medium 6 CFU/mL, then plated into 96-well plates with 200. Mu.L per well. Then, the 96-well plate was placed in a constant temperature incubator at 37℃for culturing for 90min, and the plate was designated as an adhesion stage. After 90min of incubation, the 96-well plates were removed, the supernatant was discarded, washed once with sterile PBS, then RPMI1640 medium without or with reagents was added, incubated at 37℃for 24 hours in a constant temperature incubator, and the incubation phase was defined.
Biofilm formation checkerboard experiment: mixed reagents of different concentrations are added during the proliferation phase of biofilm formation.
(1) Chessboard experiments with Dp44mT and Amphotericin B (AMP): dp44mT concentration is 2 μg/mL to 0.008 μg/mL and AMP concentration is 4 μg/mL to 0.0625 μg/mL.
(2) Chessboard experiments with Dp44mT and Nystatin (Nystatin, NYS): dp44mT concentration is 2 μg/mL to 0.008 μg/mL and NYS concentration is 8 μg/mL to 0.125 μg/mL.
(3) Chessboard experiment of Dp44mT and azoles: dp44mT concentration is 2 μg/mL to 0.03125 μg/mL, and azole concentration is 64 μg/mL to 0.25 μg/mL.
Xtt reduction experiments
The 2,3-Bis (2-Methoxy-4-Nitro-5-Sulfophenyl) -2H-tetrazole-5-carboxyanilide (2, 3-Bis- (2-Methoxy-4-Nitro-5-Sulfophenyl) -2H-Tetrazolium-5-Carboxanilide, XTT) assay is a colorimetric method to detect metabolic activity by measuring the reduction of Tetrazolium salt reagent XTT. Fresh 0.5mg/mLXTT and 0.32mg/mL phenazine methosulfate (Phenazine methosulfate, PMS) were prepared half an hour before the biofilm incubation time reached 24 hours, mixed in a 9:1 ratio after vortexing well, then vortexing well and placed protected from light. When the biofilm incubation time reached 24 hours, the media was discarded, then washed three times with PBS to remove the media, then 100. Mu. LXTT-PMS mix was added to each well and incubated at 37℃for 2 hours in the absence of light. After 2 hours, OD was measured 450 . The lowest reagent concentration when the OD value became 20% or less of the original was noted as the lowest biofilm formation inhibitory concentration (Minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration, MBIC).
3. Calculation of fractional inhibitory concentration index (Fractional inhibitory concentration index, FICI)

Wherein, FICI is less than or equal to 0.5 and is synergistic; FICI is more than 0.5 and less than or equal to 1 and is added; FICI < 1 < 4 is no interaction; FICI is greater than or equal to 4.
The results are shown in Table 1 below, MBIC (AMP sheet) MBIC at 2. Mu.g/mL (AMP Union) MBIC at 0.5 μg/mL (Dp 44mT Single) MBIC at 1. Mu.g/mL (Dp 44mT Union) FICI is 0.258 at 0.008 μg/mL, thus providing a synergistic effect. MBIC (Membrane biological Integrated Circuit) (NYS sheet) MBIC at 8 μg/mL (NYS Union) MBIC at 4. Mu.g/mL (Dp 44mT Single) MBIC at 1. Mu.g/mL (Dp 44mT Union) The FICI is 1 at 0.5. Mu.g/mL, and thus has additive effect. MBIC (Membrane biological Integrated Circuit) (azole monomer) MBIC is greater than 64 μg/mL (azole series) MBIC at 0.25 μg/mL (Dp 44mT Single) MBIC at 1. Mu.g/mL (Dp 44mT Union) At 0.5 μg/mL, FICI is 0.503, thus having additive interactions.

Example 2
This example demonstrates that Dp44mT can enhance the mature biofilm disruption effect of commonly used antifungals, with the following experimental steps and results:
after Candida albicans was cultured at 37℃for 24 hours to form a biofilm, the medium was discarded, and then washed three times with PBS, as described above. The prepared RPMI1640 medium containing reagents with different concentrations or no reagent is added into the holes containing the biological film, and then the culture is carried out for 24 hours at the constant temperature of 37 ℃.
(1) Chessboard experiments of Dp44mT and AMP: dp44mT concentration is 256 μg/mL to 1 μg/mL and AMP concentration is 4 μg/mL to 0.0625 μg/mL.
(2) Chessboard experiments of Dp44mT and NYS: dp44mT concentration was 256 μg/mL to 1 μg/mL and NYS concentration was 64 μg/mL to 1 μg/mL.
XTT reduction experiments were used as a determination reagent to determine the lowest biofilm disruption concentration (Minimum biofilm eradication concentration, MBEC) that disrupted candida albicans mature biofilm, and then a fractional inhibition concentration index was calculated.
The results are shown in Table 2 below, MBEC (AMP sheet) MBEC at 4 μg/mL (AMP Union) MBEC at 0.5 μg/mL (Dp 44mT Single) Greater than 256 μg/mL MBEC (Dp 44mT Union) At 128 μg/mL, FICI is 0.375, thus AMP and Dp44mT have the effect of synergistically increasing disruption of mature biofilm. MBEC (MBEC) (NYS sheet) MBEC at 8 μg/mL (NYS Union) MBEC at 2 μg/mL (Dp 44mT Single) Greater than 256 μg/mL MBEC (Dp 44mT Union) At 128 μg/mL, FICI is 0.5, thus NYS and Dp44mT also have the effect of synergistically increasing disruption of mature biofilm.
