SDH, a novel diarylheptane compound, is a potential treatment for inflammatory bowel disease by restoring epithelial barrier function

Background: The global prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing, and mucosal healing is the preferred treatment target of IBD. Sodium (aS,9 R)− 3-hydroxy-16,17-dimethoxy-15-oxidotricyclo[12.3.1.12,6]nonadeca-1(18),2,4,6(19),14,16-hexene-9-yl sulfate hydrate (SDH) is a novel diary...

description Background: The global prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing, and mucosal healing is the preferred treatment target of IBD. Sodium (aS,9 R)− 3-hydroxy-16,17-dimethoxy-15-oxidotricyclo[12.3.1.12,6]nonadeca-1(18),2,4,6(19),14,16-hexene-9-yl sulfate hydrate (SDH) is a novel diarylheptane compound, which is designed to treat IBD. Hence, we investigated the potent therapeutic activity of SDH against IBD and explored the underlying mechanisms, and determined if SDH is a safe and well-tolerated oral therapeutic for IBD treatment. Methods: We characterized its therapeutic properties in vitro and in vivo using Caco-2 cell monolayer and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)- or 2,4,6-trinitro-benzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis models. We conducted nonclinical toxicology and safety pharmacology research, including general toxicity, toxicokinetics, pharmacokinetics, metabolism and plasma protein binding, cardiovascular safety pharmacology, central nervous system safety pharmacology, respiratory safety pharmacology, fertility and early embryonic development toxicity, reverse mutation assay, chromosomal aberration assay and micronucleus test. Results: The results showed that SDH promoted expression of tight junction proteins, and protected the integrity and permeability of the epithelial barrier in both cell and animal models. Moreover, lower doses of SDH showed the similar or better efficacy than cyclosporine A (CsA) and mesalazine in DSS- or TNBS-induced colitis animals. Furthermore, our results identified that SDH has satisfactory safety in these studies we tested. In summary, SDH restored the epithelial barrier through tight junction proteins and was expected to be a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of IBD.
