This invention relates to the technical field of
nanomedicine synthesis and discloses a method for synthesizing nanomedicines for the treatment of
rheumatoid arthritis, comprising the following steps: S10: obtaining or preparing high-purity, small-particle-size CaO2 nanoparticles; S20: encapsulating the CaO2 nanoparticles in a ZIF67
system to obtain CaO2@ZIF67; S30: dissolving
methotrexate in
methanol to obtain an MTX additive solution; dissolving CaO2@ZIF67 in
methanol, then adding the MTX additive solution dropwise, and stirring thoroughly; finally, purifying, washing, and
drying the obtained product to obtain CaO2@MTX@ZIF67. Targeting the two main
pathological features of
rheumatoid arthritis, namely
inflammation and hypoxic microenvironment, this invention uses ZIF67-loaded
calcium peroxide combined with
methotrexate to treat the inflammatory sites of
rheumatoid arthritis. The constructed product can inhibit the expression of
tumor necrosis factor-α /
interleukin-6, overcome the hypoxic nature of rheumatoid
arthritis, and achieve the technical characteristics of alleviating inflammatory symptoms and altering
disease progression, low cost, few side effects, and long-term treatment.
