Abstract

The invention relates to a targeted micro-bubble contrast agent. Cyclic peptide ligands c (RGDyK) and DSPE-PEG are coupled through covalent bonds to synthesize DSPE-PEG-C (RGDyK), so that PEG derivative (PEG-DSPE) connecting arms are inserted between the ligands and micro-bubbles; and then, the targeted micro-bubble contrast agent with the connecting arms is prepared by ultrasonic oscillation homogenization and in a high-speed shearing method. The targeted micro-bubble contrast agent with the PEG derivative connecting arms inserted between the ligands and the micro-bubbles is advantageous for enhancing adhesion between the ligands and receptors, and capable of effectively increasing formed targeted micro-bubble ligand-receptor pairs, so that bonding between the micro-bubbles and target organs is closer and the transfection efficiency of carrier genes, namely the micro-bubbles, can be further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a targeting microbubble contrast agent and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] As a safe carrier in gene therapy, microbubble contrast agent can effectively carry out targeted gene transfection under ultrasound irradiation, and has become a research hotspot in the field of tumor gene therapy. After the microbubble contrast agent carrying the target gene is injected intravenously, the target tissue is given certain conditions of ultrasound irradiation, which can cause the microbubble in the blood vessel to burst and release the gene, and simultaneously produce "cavitation effect" and "sonic hole effect". It can increase capillary permeability and cell membrane permeability, thereby promoting the release of a large number of genes into target cells. It is safe, non-invasive, and can act on deep tissues and organs. It is a new type of gene targeted delivery technology. Has a broad space for development. ...
