Problems solved by technology

[0005] Although both glycine and cysteine ​​have obvious brain protective effects, the peripheral doses of glycine (800mg / kg) and cysteine ​​(500mg / kg) are too large, resulting in severe side effects, which limit their clinical application

Embodiment 1

[0047] [Example 1] This patent takes L-phenylalanine-L-alanine-L-cysteine-glycine tetrapeptide (FACG) as an example to illustrate the preparation process of solid-phase synthetic peptides as follows:

[0048] 1. Synthesis of Complex I Fmoc-Gly-resin:

[0049] The tripeptide of this patent uses the method of solid-phase synthesis, weighs 10.7g of 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin (2-Chlorotrityl Chloride Resin) with a degree of substitution of 0.4mmol / g, puts the resin into a polypeptide reaction tube, and adds Dichloromethane (DCM) 160.5ml, shaken for 30 minutes; filter the DCM solvent through a sand core, add 12mmol of Fmoc-Gly-OH amino acid, and then add 40mmol of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA), Finally, a small amount of dimethylformamide (DMF) was added to dissolve, and shaken for 1 h. Alternately wash 6 times with DMF and DCM. Add 160.5ml of 20% piperidine (piperidine is dissolved in DMF solution), take out the piperidine after 5 minutes, add 160.5ml of 20% piperidine aga...

Embodiment 2

[0069] [Example 2] Cytotoxicity test of the patent synthetic peptide on primary cortical neurons

[0070] In this example, the primary cortical neurons cultured for 10 days were used as the experimental object to establish an isolated glucose-oxygen deprivation (OGD) model of cortical neurons. In the case of OGD injury, the neurons were treated with 500 μM of each synthetic peptide. Use cck8 to evaluate the viability of cells, so as to judge whether each synthetic peptide has a protective effect on neurons. The synthetic peptide used in this embodiment is as follows:

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to a synthetic peptide and use thereof in preparing a drug for treating the cerebral injury. An amino acid sequence of the synthetic peptide is X1-X2-L-Ala-(L-Cys-Gly)n-X3 (I), wherein X1 is none or L-Phe, X2 is none or L-Cys, X3 is none or L-Phe, and when X1 and X3 are simultaneously none, n is less than or equal to 8. The animal experiment shows that the synthetic peptide can pass through a hemato encephalic barrier to directly reach cerebrum by virtue of an intravenous administration way at an extremely low dosage and can be hydrolyzed into free glycine and cysteine under the effect of cerebral proteolytic enzymes so as to play a role in protecting nerves and reducing the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, thereby realizing a purpose of treating stroke.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and in particular relates to a synthetic peptide and its application in preparing medicine for treating brain injury. Background technique [0002] Glycine is the amino acid with the simplest chemical structure, but it has complex functions. Glycine is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, playing an important role in controlling neuronal excitability. Animal experiments have found that glycine has obvious neuroprotective effects, and it has also been found in some clinical trials that glycine can significantly improve cognitive dysfunction and dementia, especially as a conventional neuroleptic for the treatment of schizophrenia. In addition to this, glycine can also treat heart damage and stroke. [0003] L-cysteine ​​is a neuromodulatory substance and an antioxidant with neuroprotective effects. At the same time, it is also an important synthesis unit of...
