Description

Application of usnic acid synergistic polymyxin in resistance to gram-negative bacterial infection
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, and particularly relates to application of usnic acid synergistic polymyxin in resistance to gram-negative bacterial infection.
Background
The problem of bacterial resistance has become a global public health problem, and the suppression of bacterial resistance is imminent. In particular, in human medicine and animal clinics in recent years, fewer and fewer clinically available antibiotics are caused by the rapid spread of carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria. In particular, the emergence of multiple drug resistant gram-negative bacteria has resulted in the near clinical unavailability of drugs and a series of public health safety issues. In recent years, various departments of China pay considerable attention to the health sustainable development of livestock and poultry breeding industry, and a series of policies such as ' action plans for suppressing bacterial drug resistance ' (2016-2020), ' action plans for suppressing animal-derived bacterial drug resistance (2017-2020), and the like and ' action plans ' are recently introduced in China to suppress the development of bacterial drug resistance.
The polymyxin antibacterial drugs include polymyxin A, polymyxin B, polymyxin C, polymyxin D and polymyxin E. Among them, polymyxins B and E are clinically used and have strong effects on gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc. Wherein polymyxin E is also called colistin, CAS number 1066-17-7, trade name colistin, colistin and colistin. The clinical application is mainly in the form of sulfate or methanesulfonate, namely polymyxin E sulfate and polymyxin E methanesulfonate. Currently, polymyxin E is considered to be one of the most important antibacterial drugs for clinical treatment of infections such as carbapenem-resistant escherichia coli, multidrug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa, and multidrug-resistant klebsiella pneumoniae.
Clinical application of polymyxin often causes multiple toxic side effects including renal toxicity, neurotoxicity, pulmonary toxicity, skin toxicity and the like, and severely limits the application of polymyxin. The toxic and side effects of polymyxin can be obviously reduced by reducing the using dosage of polymyxin, but the sterilization effect of polymyxin in a body is obviously reduced, the clinical output is reduced, and the generation of drug resistance of polymyxin can be increased. In addition, in recent years, the emergence and spread of polymyxin resistance gene (MCR) plasmids carried by pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli have led to the development of polymyxin resistance by some gram-negative bacteria. These factors severely limit the clinical utility of polymyxin. Therefore, the development of effective polymyxin synergists and the development of compound polymyxin preparations have become important strategies for the clinical treatment of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections.
Usnic acid, CAS number 125-46-2, molecular formula C 18 H 16 O 7 Molecular weight 344.32, structure shown in figure 1. Usnic acid, also known as usnic acid, is isolated from lichen, either from natural usnea. It has been reported that usnic acid has excellent antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (documents: gupta VK, verma S, gupta S, singh)A, pal A, srivastava SK, srivastava PK, singh SC, darokar MP, membrane-damagingpotiall of natural L- (-) -usnic acid in Staphylococcus aureus, eurJClin Microbiol Infect Dis.2012Dec;31 (12):3375-83.). In addition, usnic acid has a certain inhibitory effect on Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) (literature: zhanjing. Usnic acid effects on PEDV replication and PEDV cell culture genetic stability analysis [ D ]]Nanjing university of agriculture, 2020). Usnic acid also has the function of promoting wound healing (the document: wangxiane, guanifeng, luoyuan. Usnic acid has the functions of healing the skin wound of the rat and hyperplasia of scar through PI3K/Akt pathway [ J]Chinese journal of dermatological disease, 2021,35 (10): 1111-1118+ 1131.). Usnic acid and analogues thereof also have biological functions of anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, anti-cancer, improving immunity of the organism (documents: sana. Uighur, johnson, yangxin Yao, gao Xiao, quchang sea, zhang Qian, liuchun, tupeng Fei, chaxinyun, development of chemical components and pharmacological activity of usnic acid and analogues thereof [ J Xinyun]Chinese traditional medicine journal, 2018,43 (19): 3811-3821. ). So far, the antibacterial activity of the usnic acid as an antibacterial adjuvant and a synergistic antibacterial medicament is not reported.

The Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) of different strains on usnic acid, polymyxin B and polymyxin E were determined according to the standard methods of the American society for Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). The specific operation is as follows: selecting a single bacterial colony in BHI broth, culturing the bacteria in a shaking table at 37 ℃ until the bacteria reach the logarithmic phase, and adjusting the concentration of the bacterial liquid to 0.5 McLeod turbidity by using a McLeod turbidimeter for standby. Usnic acid, polymyxin B and polymyxin E were diluted multiple concentration gradients in MHB medium, respectively. Taking 100 μ L of bacterial liquid (the final concentration of bacterial liquid in each hole is 1.0x10) 6 CFUs/mL) were added to a 96-well U-plate followed by the addition of different drugs per well. The final concentration of the usnic acid medicine is 160 mu g/mL, 80 mu g/mL, 40 mu g/mL, 20 mu g/mL, 10 mu g/mL, 5 mu g/mL, 2.5 mu g/mL, 1.25 mu g/mL and 0.625 mu g/mL in sequence; the final drug concentrations of polymyxin B and polymyxin E were each set at 16. Mu.g/mL, 8. Mu.g/mL, 4. Mu.g/mL, 2. Mu.g/mL, 1. Mu.g/mL, 0.5. Mu.g/mL, 0.25. Mu.g/mL, 0.125. Mu.g/mL, 0.0625. Mu.g/mL. The negative control group only contains MHB culture medium; the positive control group contained 100. Mu.L of the bacterial suspension to be tested, and 1. Mu.L of DMSO was added to each well. After the drug is added, the culture plate is placed in an incubator at 37 ℃ for constant temperature culture for 18h, and the result is observed, and the Concentration of the drug contained in the macroscopic clear hole in a 96-well plate is the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). The test results are shown in Table 1.

Figure BDA0004003304530000071
As can be seen from Table 1, the antibacterial activity of usnic acid against gram-negative bacteria such as the tested strains E.coli25922, E.coli B2, ATCC15692, K.pneumoconiae 1202 (ST 11, KPC-2-producer) + pHNSHP45 (mcr-1), E.coli 09B19, E.coli13h1, E.coli GZP080-8, ATCC 19606, salmonella SH16SF0764, etc. is greater than the maximum concentration measured, i.e. > 160. Mu.g/mL; the MIC of polymyxin E to the gram-negative bacteria is 0.25. Mu.g/mL, 8. Mu.g/mL, 1. Mu.g/mL, 8. Mu.g/mL, 4. Mu.g/mL, 8. Mu.g/mL, 0.5. Mu.g/mL, 8.

Polymyxin B and polymyxin E had MICs for both gram positive bacteria ATCC29213, ATCC33591 greater than the maximum concentration tested, i.e., > 16. Mu.g/mL.
2. Combined application antibacterial activity experiment of usnic acid and antibacterial drug polymyxin
The combined application of usnic acid and the antibacterial polymyxin to pathogenic bacteria is used for determining the combined medication index (FICI): the FICI values of strains E.coli25922, E.coli B2, ATCC15692, K.pneumoniae 1202 (ST 11, KPC-2-producer) + pHNSHP45 (mcr-1), E.coli 09B19, E.coli13h1, E.coli GZP080-8, ATCC 19606, salmonella SH16SF0764 and the like when usnic acid is used in combination with an antibacterial agent were determined by a checkerboard method. The specific operation is as follows:
respectively taking 2MIC of antibacterial agent polymyxin E (as A drug) and usnic acid (as B drug) as maximum concentration, diluting to 8-11 concentrations by MHB broth medium ratio,adding MHB broth culture medium containing two drugs with different concentrations 50 μ L along the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of a 96-microporous culture plate, respectively, and adding bacterial liquid of various pathogenic bacteria 50 μ L to obtain final pathogenic bacteria content of 1 × 10 6 And (4) culturing the cells in a CFU/hole at the constant temperature of 37 ℃ for 18-24 h, and observing the result. The MICs of the two drugs used alone and in combination are recorded, and the FICI value (partial inhibitory concentration index) is calculated according to the following formula.
FICI = MIC first drug combination/MIC first drug combination + MIC second drug combination/MIC second drug combination
And (4) judging the standard: FICI is less than or equal to 0.5, and the synergistic effect is achieved; FICI is more than 0.5 and less than or equal to 1, and the additive effect is achieved; 1 < FICI < 2, irrelevant; FICI > 2, antagonistic action. Namely: FICI of usnic acid and polymyxin E = MIC (polymyxin E combination)/MIC (polymyxin E alone) + MIC (usnic acid combination)/MIC (usnic acid alone).
TABLE 2 FICI values of usnic acid in combination with antibacterial agents for E.coli standard strains E.coli25922, E.coli B2, ATCC15692, K.pneumoniae 1202 (ST 11, KPC-2-producer) + pHNSHP45 (mcr-1), E.coli 09B19, E.coli13h1, E.coli GZP08-8, ATCC 19606, salmonella SH16SF0764, etc

the results of the in vitro MIC assay showed that the MIC of usnic acid alone against the gram-negative bacteria was greater than the maximum tested concentration, i.e., > 160. Mu.g/mL. The combination of usnic acid and polymyxin E can improve the antibacterial activity of polymyxin:
when colibacillus standard strain ATCC25922 is combined and used with polymyxin E and usnic acid, the polymyxin E and the usnic acid exert the maximum synergistic effect when the concentration of the usnic acid is 5 mu g/mL and the concentration of the polymyxin E is 0.0625 mu g/mL, and the FICI is 0.28, so that the synergistic effect is judged.
When the clinical escherichia coli E.coli B2 strain and the polymyxin E and the usnic acid are jointly applied, the polymyxin E and the usnic acid exert the maximum synergistic effect when the concentration of the usnic acid is 40 mu g/mL and the concentration of the polymyxin E is 1 mu g/mL, and the FICI is 0.375, the synergistic effect is judged.
When the strain ATCC15692 and polymyxin E and usnic acid were used in combination, the maximum synergistic effect was exhibited when the concentration of usnic acid was 40. Mu.g/mL and the concentration of polymyxin E was 0.5. Mu.g/mL, and the FICI was 0.75, and the result was judged to be additive.
When polymyxin E and usnic acid are applied in combination to K.pneumoconiae 1202 (ST 11, KPC-2-producer) + pHNSHP45 (mcr-1), the maximum synergistic effect is achieved when the concentration of usnic acid is 20 mug/mL and the concentration of polymyxin E is 1 mug/mL, and the FICI is 0.25, the synergistic effect is determined.
When the polymyxin E and the usnic acid are jointly applied aiming at the clinical Escherichia coli E.coli 09b19 strain and the concentration of the usnic acid is 20 mug/mL, the polymyxin E concentration is 1. Mu.g/mL, the two exert the maximum synergistic effect, the FICI is 0.375, and the synergistic effect is judged.
When the polymyxin E and usnic acid are jointly applied to the clinical Escherichia coli E.coli13h1 strain, the polymyxin E and usnic acid exert the maximum synergistic effect when the concentration of usnic acid is 20 mu g/mL and the concentration of polymyxin E is 1 mu g/mL, and the FICI is 0.25, so that the synergistic effect is judged.
When polymyxin E and usnic acid are jointly applied to a clinical escherichia coli E.coli GZP11-15 strain, the polymyxin E and usnic acid exert the maximum synergistic effect when the concentration of usnic acid is 20 mu g/mL and the concentration of polymyxin E is 1 mu g/mL, and the FICI is 0.25, so that the synergistic effect is judged.
When the combination of polymyxin E and usnic acid is applied to ATCC 19606 strain, the maximum synergistic effect is exerted between the concentration of usnic acid 20. Mu.g/mL and the concentration of polymyxin E0.0625. Mu.g/mL, and the FICI is 0.25, the synergistic effect is judged.
When polymyxin E and usnic acid are jointly applied to the clinical Salmonella SH16SF0764 strain, the polymyxin E and usnic acid exert the maximum synergistic effect when the concentration of usnic acid is 20 mu g/mL and the concentration of polymyxin E is 1 mu g/mL, and the FICI is 0.25, so that the synergistic effect is judged.
In conclusion, the usnic acid can remarkably enhance the antibacterial activity of polymyxin against gram-negative bacteria when added in a concentration of 5-40 mug/mL.

The results were as follows:
as shown in fig. 1, for the e.coli B2 strain, polymyxin E and usnic acid alone had no significant effect on bacterial colony count at 24h compared to the control group. When usnic acid and polymyxin E were treated in combination, the number of colonies at 3h of treatment was 2.97Log 10 CFU/mL; at 6h, the number of colonies was 0Log 10 CFU/mL, and the colony number is 0Log until 24h 10 CFU/mL。
As shown in FIG. 2, the colony count was reduced to 5.2Log in the polymyxin E-treated group at 24h as compared with the control group against ATCC25922 strain 10 CFU/mL, usnic acid had no significant effect on bacterial colony count. When the usnic acid and the polymyxin E are treated in a combined mode, the colony number is reduced to 3.8Log at 1h, 3h, 6h, 12h and 24h 10 CFU/mL、3.4Log 10 CFU/mL、3.0Log 10 CFU/mL、0Log 10 CFU/mL、0Log 10 CFU/mL。
As shown in fig. 3, with respect to the e.coli GZP080-8 strain, there was no significant change in the number of colonies at 24h in the polymyxin E-treated group and usnic acid-alone treated group, compared to the control group. When the usnic acid and polymyxin E are treated in a combined mode, the colony number is reduced to 4.7Log at 1h, 3h, 6h, 12h and 24h 10 CFU/mL、4.6Log 10 CFU/mL、3.9Log 10 CFU/mL、0Log 10 CFU/mL、0Log 10 CFU/mL。
Example 3 therapeutic Effect of polymyxin E in combination with usnic acid on the bacterial clearance of wound infection in mice
Female BALB/c mice, weighing 18-20 g, were purchased from Beijing Wintonli Hua, inc. Mice were housed in the animal room of the national veterinary drug safety center of the animal medical college of the university of agriculture, china, at room temperature (25 ± 2 ℃, relative humidity 50 ± 10%, using conventional light, day: night =12h, feeding conventional mice to maintain pellet feed, mice were acclimatized in the animal room for 1 week prior to the official experiment.
After the mice are bred adaptively for 1 week in a laboratory, all the mice establish a skin wound model, and the main steps are as follows: the hair on the back was removed with an electric depilator, and the mice were anesthetized with 4% chloral hydrate by intraperitoneal injection, each administered at 10 mg/kg. Disinfecting the depilated part of the back with alcohol, marking round mark with marking pen, cutting off the skin of the back with high-pressure sterilized ophthalmic scissors, making round wound with diameter of 1cm, and cutting off the skin. Subsequently, mice were infected with e.coli B2 and 10 μ L (1 × 10) was added dropwise to the wound using a micropipette gun 9 CFU/mL) of e.coli B2 bacteria, the amount of infected bacteria per mouse was 1 × 10 7 CFU, control group dropped PBS on wound surface, waited skin to absorb the dropped liquid, and the mouse was observed to be awake. Coli B2 infected mice were further divided into 4 groups, namely a solvent-treated control group, a polymyxin E-treated group, an usnic acid-treated group, and a polymyxin E-combined usnic acid-treated group, each of which was 6 mice. mu.L of physiological saline, 10. Mu.L of polymyxin E (1 mg/mL, corresponding to a dose of 0.5mg/kg body weight for polymyxin E administered to each mouse), 10. Mu.L of usnic acid (40 mg/mL, corresponding to a dose of 20mg/kg body weight for each mouse), 10. Mu.L of polymyxin E (1 mg/mL) + usnic acid (40 mg/mL) (corresponding to a dose of 0.5mg/kg body weight for each mouse and a dose of 20mg/kg body weight for each mouse) were directly added dropwise to the skin infection at 1h and 24h, respectively. After 48h post-infection, mice were sacrificed under anesthesia, the wound and surrounding skin tissue were cut with an autoclave surgical instrument, and subcutaneous adherent tissue was peeled off. Putting the skin tissue into a 2mL grinding centrifuge tube, adding 500 mu L PBS and grinding beads, grinding in a high-temperature low-speed tissue grinding instrument, selecting a skin tissue grinding program, and fully grinding at 4 ℃. Tissue homogenate was diluted to appropriate fold (500 fold): 20 μ L of stock solution was placed in a 2mL centrifuge tube and diluted by 1.98mL sterile PBS. 100 mu L of diluted bacterial liquid is taken and dripped into the polymyxin-containing bacterial liquidE (the final concentration is 2 mu g/mL, and the main purpose is to prevent and control other mixed bacteria pollution in the operation process) on the BHI solid culture medium, uniformly coating the bacterial liquid by using an applicator, culturing for 14-16 h in an incubator at 37 ℃, observing the growth condition of bacterial colonies, and counting.
The results are as follows: as shown in FIG. 4, the average value of the bacterial load of the skin wound of the solvent-treated control group was 7.1Log 10 The average bacterial loads of CFU, polymyxin E and usnic acid treatment groups are respectively 6.5Log 10 CFU and 4.5Log 10 The colony number average value of the CFU, polymyxin E and usnic acid combined treatment group is reduced to 0.87Log 10 And (4) CFU. This indicates that the combined treatment of polymyxin E and usnic acid significantly improves the bacterial clearance to skin wounds compared to the treatment with either polymyxin E or usnic acid alone.
