Problems solved by technology

In the prescription science of traditional Chinese medicine, the principle of "junchen, adjuvant" is emphasized in the composition of prescriptions. The drugs contained in the prescription can be divided into main drugs and auxiliary drugs, that is, monarch and minister drugs and adjuvant drugs. Better therapeutic effect, or weaken the toxicity of drugs such as monarchs and ministers, although its composition is complex, but the functional status of various drugs is clear; in modern Western medicine, many diseases have also adopted "cocktail" therapy, although the composition is very clear , but the status of the functional role of each drug is unclear

Embodiment 1

[0034] Under normal pressure (1 standard atmospheric pressure), add 20mL of PEG-200 to two 100mL Erlenmeyer flasks, stir and heat to 200°C, then add 20mg of sublimated sulfur solid powder to the two volumetric flasks , Keep heating and stirring to make it fully mixed until the dark yellow color does not change. Then add 60mL and 20mL ultrapure water at room temperature (effective temperature range: 18-28°C, optimum temperature: 25°C) to obtain sulfur concentrations of 0.25mg·mL -1 and 0.50mg·mL -1 , PEG are 25% and 50% target products respectively, and the average particle size of the nanoparticles in the products is in the range of 640-950nm, as shown in Table 1. The product can be stored in the form of a sol in an aqueous solution at 2-20° C., that is, nano-sulfur hydrosol (Nano-S).

Embodiment 2

[0040] Using the nano-sulfur hydrosol a prepared in Example 1, and copper sulfate with different mass concentrations at normal pressure, after reacting for 2 hours at 37°C, centrifuge at 20000 × g to get the supernatant, and titrate the amount of copper in the supernatant, And calculate the amount of copper captured by nano-sulfur. The result is as figure 2 As shown, the nano-sulfur hydrosol a prepared in Example 1 can reach 2.84mg·mg to the capture amount of copper -1. It shows that our nano-sulfur hydrosol has a good adsorption capacity for copper.

[0041] With nano-sulfur hydrosol a prepared in Example 1, A375 malignant melanoma cells and MCF-7 breast cancer cells were treated with different doses (cell concentration range: 3~10×10 4 cell mL -1 , optimal cell concentration: 8×10 4 cell mL -1 ). After 24 hours, the viability of the cells was detected, and the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) value was calculated. The result is as image 3 As shown, the nano-su...

[0043] With the nano-sulfur hydrosol a prepared in Example 1, in the form of 2 μg·mL -1 (Effective mass concentration range: 0.5 μg mL -1 ~3μg·mL -1 , preferred mass concentration: 2μg·mL -1 ) doses to treat A375 malignant melanoma cells and MCF-7 breast cancer cells respectively (cell concentration range: 3~10×10 4 cell mL -1 , optimal cell concentration: 8×10 4 cell mL -1 ), 12 hours later, the culture medium was centrifuged at 20000×g to remove nano-sulfur, the supernatant was added to the cell culture system, and different doses of cisplatin were added to continue the treatment for 24 hours, and then the content of cisplatin in the cells and the survival rate of the cells were detected. The result is as Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the short-term treatment of low-dose nano-sulfur can significantly increase the absorption of cisplatin in A375 malignant melanoma cells and MCF-7 breast cancer cells, and can also significantly enhance the anti-tumor activity of cisplatin.

Abstract

The invention discloses application of nano sulfur hydrosol serving as an anti-tumor 'adjuvant drug' and belongs to the fields of active nano materials and medicines. The nano sulfur hydrosol has high biocompatibility and safety, and prepared nano sulfur can be preserved in a liquid phase in the form of sol and facilitates development of a variety of dosage forms, and thus the application range is greatly widened. After a product performs high-temperature reaction, the sterility level can be achieved only by ensuring that added water is sterile without subsequent treatment. The nano sulfur hydrosol serving as the anti-tumor 'adjuvant drug' is clear in mechanism, namely suppresses tumor growth through efficient copper ion capture, so that copper transporters of tumor cells are null, the tumor cells are forced to perform compensatory high expression of the copper transporters so as to facilitate absorption of the drug represented by cisplatin, and thus the anti-tumor activity of the nano sulfur hydrosol is improved. The good 'adjuvant drug' is provided for combined tumor chemotherapy and has the advantages and potential on the aspects of dosage form development, deep processing and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of active nanomaterials and medicine, and in particular relates to the application of a nanometer sulfur hydrosol as an antitumor "adjuvant drug". Background technique [0002] Tumor is one of the important diseases that threaten human health. Over the years, researchers have done many different aspects of work on its treatment, especially chemotherapy, and have achieved certain results. However, the current research focus of chemotherapy is to design drugs to selectively kill or inhibit tumor cells. Clinical studies have found that tumors are rich in copper. In response to this rule, researchers have designed copper-containing compounds and complexes, expecting to use copper as a bait to enrich tumor cells with more drugs and achieve selective treatment. However, recent studies have found that tumor cells are enriched in copper because they require copper for their survival and development. Therefore, depriving tum...
