    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

    [0224] The following is an explanation of the present invention in combination with specific experiments, which is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

    [0225] As used in the present application (including the attached claims), unless the context otherwise clearly indicates, singular forms of words such as one/a, an and the include their corresponding plural referents.

    [0226] Unless otherwise clearly indicated by the context, the term or is used to refer to the term and/or and may be used interchangeably with the term and/or.

    [0227] The term effective amount or therapeutically effective amount refers to the amount of an active ingredient (such as a compound) which when administered to a subject to treat a disease, or at least one clinical symptom of a disease or disorder, is sufficient to influence the treatment of the disease, disorder or symptom. The therapeutically effective amount may vary depending on the compound, the disease, disorder and/or symptoms of the disease or disorder, the severity of the disease, disorder and/or symptoms of the disease or disorder, the age of the subject to be treated and/or the weight of the subject to be treated. In any given case, the appropriate amount will be apparent to those skilled in the art, or can be determined by routine experimentation. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is an amount of at least one compound and/or at least one stereoisomer thereof, and/or at least one pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, disclosed in the present application, that is effective for the treatment (as defined above) of a disease or disorder in a subject. In the case of a combination therapy, therapeutically effective amount is the total amount of the combined objects used to effectively treat a disease, disorder or condition.

    [0228] The term physiologically compatible salt refers to a salt form which is physiologically compatible (i.e., pharmacologically acceptable), and is substantially non-toxic to the individual to which the compounds of the invention will be administered. Physiologically compatible salts of the compounds of this invention include conventional and stoichiometric acid addition salts or base addition salts formed from suitable non-toxic organic or inorganic acids or inorganic bases.

    [0229] The term intestinal lumen dilatation refers to intestinal dilatation or intestinal canal dilatation. In patients with enteritis, due to various factors such as intestinal damage, mucus exudation, intestinal gas or fluid accumulation, microbial overgrowth and the like, the intestinal lumen is dilated and the intestinal canal is thicker than normal. Recurrent enteritis such as inflammatory bowel disease leading to intestinal canal dilatation, or tumors causing intestinal canal dilatation and intestinal obstruction are common in clinic.

    Example 1: Chemical Synthesis of Polypeptides

    [0231] The synthesis of polypeptide compounds adopts the conventional solid phase synthesis method using a fully automatic polypeptide synthesizer, and the chemical synthesis of the polypeptide is carried out through the processes of resin swelling, deprotection, washing, amino acid activation and condensation.

    [0232] Taking Lys-Glu-Pro-Val-Pro-Gln-Ala-Lys-Pro-Arg-Lys-Val-Ala-Ala-Gln (Compound 1) as an example, the schematic diagram of the solid phase synthesis steps of the polypeptide is shown in FIG. 1.

    Step 1: Preparation of Fully Protected Peptide Resin for Polypeptide

    [0233] (1) Resin swelling: 7.71 g (SD=0.73 mmol/g) of 2-Chlorotrityl Chloride Resin was weighed, added into a synthesis tube with a sieve plate, and swollen with 100 ml of dichloromethane (DCM).

    [0234] (2) Preparation of Fmoc-Gln (Trt)-resin: Fmoc-Gln(Trt)-OH and DIPEA were weighed in a molar ratio of 1:1.78:4.31 of resin, Fmoc-Gln(Trt)-OH and DIPEA respectively and added into the synthesis tube. Nitrogen (N.sub.2) bubbling and shaking were performed at room temperature for 1-3 h, and then the mixture was pumped dry; then the mixture was washed with dimethylformamide (DMF) 5 times, 100 ml each time, and the resin was pumped dry.

    [0235] (3) Removal of Fmoc protecting group: 100 ml of a 20% piperidine-DMF (v/v) solution was added into the reactor, nitrogen was bubbled, and the system was allowed to react for 20 min, pumped dry, then washed with DMF 5 times, at 100 ml/time, 3 min/time, pumped dry, and detected for the Fmoc removal result by the ninhydrin method.

    [0236] (4) Amino acid pre-activation: 15 mmol of Fmoc-protected amino acid, 15 mmol of HOBt, and 15 mmol of DIC was added into a 250 ml beaker, dissolved in 100 ml of DMF, and stirred at room temperature for later use.

    [0237] (5) Amino acid linkage: The activated protected amino acid solution was poured into the reactor, and an appropriate amount of DCM was additionally added to clean the apparatus. Nitrogen was bubbled at room temperature and the system was allowed to react for 1-3 h, and whether the amino acid linkage is complete was detected using the ninhydrin method. If so, the system was pumped dry. The resin was washed with DMF 5 times, at 100 ml/time, 3 min/time, and then pumped dry. The amount of each of the amino acids and condensing agents used is shown in Table 2.

    [0238] (6) After the condensation of the first amino acid was completed, steps (4) and (5) were repeated to extend the peptide chain in the order of amino acids until the coupling of last amino acid was completed.

    [0239] (7) The resin peptide was washed with DMF 4 times, at 150 ml/time, 3 min/time; then washed with DCM 5 times, at 150 ml/time, 3 min/time, and pumped dry.

    Step 2: Cleaving

    [0240] (1) 100 ml of a cleavage agent (TFA:TIPS:H.sub.2O=95:2.5:2.5, v/v) was added into the synthesis tube, nitrogen was bubbled, the system was allowed to react for 1.5-3 h.

    [0241] (2) After the cleavage reaction was completed, the cleavage agent was suction-filtered into a 250 ml round-bottom flask. After vacuum concentration to one-fourth of the original volume of the cleavage agent, 10 times the existing volume of methyl tert-butyl ether was added to precipitate a white solid. The obtained mixture was filtered and washed three times with 50 ml of methyl tert-butyl ether, and then the obtained crude peptide product was placed in a sand core funnel and blowed dry with nitrogen in a fume hood to evaporate the solvent until the crude peptide was in powder form. 9.04 g of crude peptide was obtained with a crude yield of 74.7%.

    Example 2: Experiment on the Efficacy of Polypeptide Compounds in Relieving Colitis

    [0472] Experimental animals: Wild-type AB strain zebrafishes, bred by natural pair mating. Zebrafishes aged 3 days post fertilization (3 dpf). Zebrafishes were kept in fish farming water at 28 C. (water quality: 200 mg of instant sea salt in each 1L of reverse osmosis water, with the conductivity of 450-550 S/cm; pH of 6.5-8.5; and hardness of 50-100 mg/L CaCO.sub.3), the experimental animal use license number is: SYXK (Zhe) 2012-0171, and the breeding management met the requirements of the international AAALAC certification (certification number: 001458).

    Experimental Method

    [0473] (1) Grouping: Polypeptide group: prepared into a stock solution of 20.0 mg/mL with ultrapure water and stored at 20 C.

    [0474] Positive control group: prednisone, as white powder, with batch number C10016501, Shanghai Macklin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd., stored at 4 C.; prepared into a 15.0 mg/mL stock solution with DMSO, and stored in aliquots at 20 C.

    [0475] Normal control group and model control group.

    [0476] (2) Experimental method: 3 dpf wild-type AB strain zebrafishes were randomly selected and placed in a 6-well plate, with 30 zebrafishes in each well (experimental group). Except for the normal control group, all other experimental groups were given TNBS in water to establish the zebrafish model of intestinal mucosal injury. After 2 days of treatment at 28 C., TNBS was removed, and polypeptide compound in water (at concentrations shown in Table 4) was given respectively, and for the positive control, prednisone was 15.0 g/mL. A normal control group (healthy group) and a model control group (intestinal mucosal injury group) were set up at the same time. The capacity of each well (experimental group) was 3 mL. After 2 days of treatment at 28 C., 10 zebrafishes were randomly selected from each experimental group and photographed under a dissecting microscope. NIS-Elements D 3.20 advanced image processing software was used to analyze and collect data, and the intestinal lumen area of the zebrafish was analyzed. The statistical analysis results of this indicator were used to evaluate the efficacy of the samples in relieving colitis. The statistics results were expressed as meanSE. SPSS26.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and p<0.05 indicates statistically significant difference.

    [0477] Experimental results: The results of the efficacy of the polypeptide compound in relieving colitis are shown in Table 4:

    [0478] According to the data in Table 4, it can be known that the polypeptide compound groups including compounds 1, 4, 5, 6, 12 and 15 showed significant statistical differences compared with the model control group (p<0.05; p<0.01; p<0.001), and the effect was better than that of the prednisone group. The experimental results show that the polypeptide compound provided in the present application has the effect of alleviating colitis, which is specifically manifested in significantly alleviating intestinal lumen dilatation.

    [0479] The concentration gradient of the test substances set in this experimental system was 250 g/mL, 500 g/mL, and 1000 g/mL. By counting the intestinal lumen area of the zebrafish after intervention in each group, it can be seen that most of the test substances with the effect of relieving colitis had a more obvious effect at a concentration of 1000 g/mL (p<0.05; p<0.01; p<0.001). When the concentration of the test substance was further increased for intervention, the death phenomenon of zebrafishes was found in the group; therefore, in the subsequent rounds of activity evaluation, each test polypeptide compound was uniformly administered at 1000 g/mL for intervention. The results are summarized in Table 5.

    [0480] According to the data in Table 4 and Table 5, there was a significant statistical difference between the polypeptide groups and the model control group (p<0.05, p<0.010r p<0.001), and the effect was better than that of the prednisone group. Under the experimental conditions, compounds 1, 4-6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 25, 26, 29, 31, 34, 38, 48-51, 53-55, 57, 62, 63, 65-68, 70, 72, 75, 83, 85, 86, 88-90, 92-100, and 103-106 all had a significant effect of alleviating colitis, as manifested by relieving intestinal lumen dilatation (p<0.05); and compounds 7, 8, 11, 14, 16, 17, 19, 21-24, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 36, 37, 39-42, 46, 47, 52, 58, 59, 64, 69, 71, 74, 76, 78-82, 84, 87, 91 and 102 had a certain effect of alleviating intestinal lumen dilatation.

    Example 3: Evaluation of the Therapeutic Effects of Polypeptide Compounds on TNBS-Induced Model of Acute Inflammatory Bowel Disease (UC) in SD Rat

    [0481] Objective: To evaluation the therapeutic effects of polypeptide compounds on TNBS-induced model of acute inflammatory bowel disease in SD rat

    Materials and Methods

    [0482] In this experiment, a rat model of ulcerative colitis was established by administering trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) to laboratory animal male SD rats for a single enema intervention. Acute colitis in rats induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) is an immune response induced by cytokines secreted by Th1 type cells. The colon of animals in the model control group shows the reactivity of obvious atrophy and intestinal wall thickening, and the ratio of colon weight to length increases significantly. Fissure-like ulcer foci are observed on the surface of the intestinal mucosa, and typical granulomas are observed in the submucosal layer and muscular layer, internally accompanied by infiltration of inflammatory cells mainly composed of lymphocytes and plasma cells. At the same time, there is obvious hyperplasia of small blood vessels and connective tissue (fibroblasts), and crypt structure destruction and bleeding are observed around the ulcer foci. This model is simple to establish and has good reproducibility. It is an experimental animal model widely used in evaluating drugs for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The experimental animals (male SD rats) were randomly divided into 6 groups according to body weight parameters on the first day of the experiment, namely normal control group, model control group, positive drug mesalazine treatment group, compound 1 low-dose treatment group, compound 1 high-dose treatment group, compound 6 low-dose treatment group, compound 6 high-dose treatment group and compound 12 treatment group, with 10 rats in each group. On the day of grouping (DO), except for the normal control group which was given the vehicle, the animals in the remaining experimental groups were given TNBS in ethanol by enema to induce the model; the test article and positive control drug treatments were started on the second day of model induction, with the treatment dose being respectively 3.0 mg/kg and 6.0 mg/kg for compound 1, respectively 1.4 mg/kg and 2.8 mg/kg for compound 6, 0.8 mg/kg for compound 12, and 30.0 mg/kg for positive control drug mesalazine, all of which were administered by enema at a frequency of once a day for 14 consecutive days. During the experimental treatment period (D1-D14), the body weight and general clinical observation indicators (including but not limited to food intake, water intake, activity level and defecation, etc.) of the animals in each experimental group were dynamically collected. At the same time, based on the relevant scoring standards for the disease activity index of ulcerative colitis, the reactivity such as the weight loss degree, stool morphology and trait, and bloody stool of the animals in each experimental group after TNBS induction were scored, and the disease activity index (DAI) of ulcerative colitis was calculated, once a day for 14 consecutive days. At the end point of the experiment, colon tissues of animals in each experimental group were collected, and the length and weight of the colon were measured and then the non-autopsy images were collected. Then the colon was cut open along the intestinal wall longitudinally and autopsy images were collected. Based on the Criteria for Scoring Gross Morphological Manifestations of the Colon, the gross damage with respect to colon adhesions, colon ulcers and inflammation of animals in each experimental group was observed and scored. Ulcer images were collected under a stereomicroscope and the area of colon ulcer foci was calculated, followed by routine fixation. According to the statistical analysis results of various pharmacodynamic test indicators, the therapeutic effect of the test polypeptide compound on the ulcerative colitis disease model under the set treatment regimen was evaluated.

    Results and Conclusions

    [0483] In this experimental research system, the animals in the model control group showed obvious disease characteristics of ulcerative colitis, including weight gain inhibition, soft and loose stools, significantly increased ulcerative colitis disease activity index (DAI) score, and macroscopically observed colon atrophy and typical ulcer foci and colon fusion ulcer foci. The test compound 1 had a significant effect of improving the weight gain inhibition of the model animals under the set treatment regimen, and the degree of improvement was statistically significant compared with the weight change degree of the animals in the model control group in the same period (P<0.05), while the test compounds 6 and 12 had no obvious improved therapeutic effect on the weight gain inhibition of the model animals.

    [0484] The DAI score results of the experimental period show that the test compounds 1, 6 and 12 had a significant improvement effect on the disease progression of ulcerative colitis in the model animals under the set treatment regimen. The fecal trait pathological characteristics and weight loss reactivity of the animals in the corresponding treatment groups were significantly alleviated, and the mean DAI scores showed a decrease, which was significantly statistically different from the model control group in the same period (P<0.05). The improvement in treatment effect of compound 1 was the most significant, and the treatment effects of the compounds 1 and 6 were significantly dose-dependent.

    [0485] The results of gross anatomy and colon tissue injury scores at the experimental endpoint show that the test compounds 1, 6 and 12 had obvious therapeutic effects on TNBS-induced gross colon injury status (colonic adhesion, ulcer and inflammation), colon ulcer focus area and abnormal increase in colon weight/length ratio. The degree of improvement was statistically significant compared with the model control group in the same period (P<0.05). The therapeutic effect of the compound 1 was the most significant, and its therapeutic effect was significantly dose-dependent.

    [0486] In this trial, TNBS was used for intervention by enema in male SD rats to induce colonic lesions and establish a rat ulcerative colitis model that conforms to the clinical characteristics of the disease. The next day after model induction, the treatment with test compounds 1, 6 and 12 and positive control drug mesalazine was started. During the treatment period (D1-D14), the changes in the weight, the disease activity index (DAI) score of ulcerative colitis, the score of gross colon damage manifestation (colonic adhesion, ulcer and inflammatory response), the ulcer area of the colon tissue and the ratio of colon weight to length of the experimental animals were monitored to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the test articles on the model of TNBS-induced ulcerative colitis in SD rat. The results showed that:

    [0487] 1) After TNBS induction, the experimental animals showed significant manifestations of ulcerative colitis disease, including significant weight loss, significant increase in ulcerative colitis disease activity index score (DAI score), significant increase in colon adhesion and ulcer score, increase in colon tissue ulcer area and significant increase in colon weight/length ratio, indicating that the rat ulcerative colitis model suitable for the pharmacodynamic study of this experiment was successfully established.

    [0488] 2) The test compound 1 had a significant improvement effect on the weight loss response of the model animals under the set treatment regimen, and the degree of improvement was statistically significant compared with the model control group during the same period (P<0.05), while the test compounds 6, 12 and the positive control drug mesalazine did not show a significant weight improvement effect.

    [0489] 3) The test compounds 1, 6 and 12 had a significant improvement effect on the disease progression of ulcerative colitis in model animals under the set treatment regimen, and their DAI scores showed a significant decrease compared with the model control group during the same period. The therapeutic effect of the test compound 1 was the most significant. At the same time, the treatment improvement effect of the test compounds 1 and 6 was significantly dose-dependent, while the positive control drug mesalazine had no significant effect on the disease symptoms of ulcerative colitis in model animals.

    [0490] 4) The test compounds 1, 6 and 12 had significant therapeutic effects on the gross damage manifestation of the colon in model animals under the set treatment regimen. Compared with the model control group in the same period, their colon adhesion score, colon ulcer and inflammation score and colon tissue ulcer area all showed a significant decrease, and the degree of improvement was statistically significant (P<0.05). The therapeutic effect of the test compound 1 was the most significant, and its improved therapeutic effect was significantly dose-dependent.

    [0491] 5) The test compounds 1, 6 and 12 had a significant improvement effect on the colon atrophy process of model animals under the set treatment regimen. Compared with the model control group in the same period, their colon weight/length ratio was significantly decreased (P<0.05).

    [0492] It can be seen that this experiment established a rat model of ulcerative colitis that conforms to the clinical characteristics of the pathogenesis, and the results of the efficacy evaluation in this model show that the test compounds 1, 6 and 12 all had significant therapeutic effects.

    Experimental Method

    [0494] Cells will be thawed and maintained according to the culture conditions shown in Table 10.

    [0495] Day 1 (cell plating): Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected, resuspended, counted using a cell counter and detected for activity. The cell suspension was diluted according to the required plating density and 90 L of the cell suspension was added into each well of a 96-well plate (the plating density of cell would be adjusted based on historical data or density optimization experiments). While plating, three replicate wells were plated for each cell as TO plates. All 96-well plates were placed in a 37 C., 5% CO.sub.2 thermostatic incubator overnight.

    [0496] Day 2 (medium change): The medium with the corresponding serum concentration was replaced according to the platemap, 90 L per well. Day 2: The TO plate was read and treated with the test compound. 10 L of culture medium was added into each well of the TO plate to make up the total volume to 100 L. 50 L of CellTiter-Glo Reagent was added to each well. The system was mixed and shaken for 5 min to fully lyse the cells. The system was incubated at room temperature for 10 min to stabilize the luminescent signal (note: temperature, cell density, and edge effects can all lead to uneven luminescent signals). Fluorescent signals were detected using EnVision Multi Label Reader. The test compound was configured according to the corresponding molecular weight, C1=91.08 M, diluted C2=9.108 M, and C3=0.9108 M. Cisplatin was diluted as shown in Table 11 to prepare a 10 compound working solution. 10 L of working solution (10) was added to each well, so that the final volume per well of all plates was 100 L. The cells were cultured in a 37 C., 5% CO.sub.2 incubator.

    [0497] On the 5th day, treatment with the test compound was performed for 72 h (plate reading): whether the status of the drug-treated group and the control group is normal was observed under a microscope. 50 L of CTG reagent was added to each well. The system was mixed on a shaker for 5 min to allow cells to fully lyse. The system was incubated at room temperature for 10 min to stabilize the luminescent signal. Fluorescent signals were read using EnVision Multi Label Reader.
