Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer materials, and in particular to polythiocarbamate and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous cell signaling molecule, plays an important role in various physiological and pathological processes. Recent studies have shown that H2S can influence tumorigenesis by affecting tumor cell proliferation, energy metabolism, and drug resistance. Therefore, H2S has become a promising tumor imaging and signaling molecule and a potential multifunctional therapeutic agent.

[0003] Research has shown that the production of high-concentration H2S is often assisted by gaseous delivery of H2S donors. When exposed to stimuli such as reactive oxygen species, pH, external light, and highly active enzymes, various small molecule or polymeric H2S donors degrade and release H2S. However, H2S produced by exogenous donors may react with stimuli, reducing its levels and resulting in inefficient H2S delivery and failure to exert its intended biological function. Given the crucial role of H2S in regulating physiological and pathological processes, developing novel polymeric H2S donors that can specifically amplify H2S signals at lesions is of great significance, yet also presents significant challenges.

[0084] Performance testing:

[0085] 1) Structural characterization:

[0086] a) The H NMR spectra of Compound 1, Compound 2, Polymer 1 and polythiocarbamate in Example 1 are as follows Figures 1 to 4 shown.

[0087] Depend on Figures 1 to 4 It can be seen that the average degree of polymerization (DP) of the polythiocarbamate in Example 1 is 11, that is, n=11, m=114.

[0088] b) Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) of polymers 1 to 3 in Examples 1 to 3 is shown in FIG. Figure 5 shown.

[0089] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that the molecular weights of polymers 1 to 3 with different polymerization degrees are uniform and stable.

[0090] 2) Preparation of nanoparticles:

[0091] a) Preparation of blank nanoparticles: 10 mg of the polythiocarbamate (H2S-PTC-PEG) prepared in Example 1 was dispersed in 1 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and slowly added dropwise to 9 mL of ultrapure water. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h, then transferred to a dialysis bag (MWCO 3500) and dialyzed in ultrapure water for 24 h to remove DMSO, thereby obtaining H2S-responsive nanoparticles (denoted as SNPs).

[0092] b) Preparation of drug-loaded nanoparticles: 1 mg of H2S-responsive hemicyanine probe (p-Cy) or doxorubicin prodrug (p-DOX) was dispersed in 1 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and 10 mg of the polythiocarbamate (H2S-PTC-PEG) described in Example 1 was added. After mixing, the mixture was slowly added dropwise to 9 mL of ultrapure water. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h, and then transferred to a dialysis bag (MWCO3500). The DMSO was removed by dialysis in ultrapure water for 24 h to obtain a nanoprobe (denoted as SNP) that specifically amplifies the H2S signal at the tumor site. p-Cy ) or nanoparticles (denoted as SNPs p-DOX The concentration of p-Cy or p-DOX was determined by detecting UV absorption at 590 nm and 480 nm using a multifunctional microwell assay plate analysis system.

[0093] 3) Responsiveness of nanoparticles:

[0094] Nanoparticle size changes: Nanoparticle SNP (0.02 mol / L) was incubated in PBS buffer or PBS buffer containing NaHS (sodium hydrosulfide, 2 mmol / L) for 24 h. The particle size changes of SNP under different conditions were tested. Figure 6 shown.

[0095] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that the nanoparticles SNP are uniform in size and well dispersed in PBS buffer, but after incubation with NaHS, the degradation of the polymer is triggered, resulting in the disaggregation of the nanoparticles SNP. The structure of the nanoparticles is completely destroyed and becomes irregular aggregates.

[0096] 4) Imaging effect experiment:

[0097] a) Nanoprobe SNP p-Cy Selectivity for different cells: SNPs observed by CLSM p-CyIntracellular fluorescence images after co-incubation with CT26 (H2S-rich tumor cells), Hepa 1-6 (H2S-deficient tumor cells), and L929 (fibroblasts). The test results are as follows: Figure 7 (Nanoprobe inSNP p-Cy As a control, inSNP p-Cy It refers to the nanoparticles formed by self-assembly of p-Cy encapsulated by non-responsive polythiocarbamate (Ctrl-PTC-PEG) prepared by replacing compound 2 with 4-methylbenzyl alcohol).

[0098] Depend on Figure 7 It can be seen that: p-Cy Co-incubated CT26 and Hepa 1-6 cells showed strong red fluorescence signals (CyOH), while the non-responsive control particles inSNP p-Cy In both CT26 and Hepa 1-6 cells, very weak fluorescence signals were observed, which were consistent with the SNP p-Cy The co-incubated normal cells L929 also showed weak fluorescence signals, indicating that SNP p-Cy It can specifically activate p-Cy in tumor cells.

[0099] b) Nanoprobe SNP p-Cy Distribution in the body and its NIR fluorescence imaging effect on tumors: Since colon cancer selectively upregulates the enzyme cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), which produces H2S, the concentration of H2S is much higher than that in other tissues. Therefore, an in situ colon cancer model was constructed to investigate the SNP p-Cy The in vivo imaging capability of the mouse was investigated (SNP was injected into the tail vein of the mouse). p-Cy or inSNP p-Cy ), the test results are as follows Figure 8 shown.

[0100] Depend on Figure 8 It can be seen that: SNP p-Cy Colorectal tumors were clearly visualized, while fluorescence was barely detectable in other tissues; p-Cy Compared with mice treated with SNP p-Cy The fluorescence observed in very small colorectal tumors (about 2 mm) of mice with SNPs was stronger. p-Cy The fluorescence can be selectively restored at the tumor site, which has the potential to perform NIR fluorescence imaging of small tumors in mice.

[0101] 5) Treatment effect experiment:

[0102] a) Killing effect of nanoparticles on MCF-7 or MCF-7 / ADR cells: MCF7 cells, doxorubicin-resistant cells (MCF7 / ADR) or epithelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured with drug-loaded nanoparticles (SNPs) containing different DOX concentration gradients (0.025 μg / mL, 0.05 μg / mL, 0.1 μg / mL, 0.5 μg / mL, 1 μg / mL, 5 μg / mL, 10 μg / mL, 25 μg / mL, 50 μg / mL and 100 μg / mL). p-DOX or inSNP p-DOX ) were co-cultured for 24 h, and then the activity of tumor cells in each experimental group was detected by thiazole blue colorimetry (MTT method). The test results were as follows Figure 9 shown.

[0103] Depend on Figure 9 It can be seen that: SNP p-DOX It can effectively kill MCF7 and MCF7 / ADR cells, but shows low cytotoxicity in normal cells (HUVEC), indicating that SNP p-DOX Indeed, it is possible to selectively activate the prodrug in tumor cells and overcome MDR by upregulating H2S levels in tumor cells.

[0104] b) Mechanism of action of endogenous H2S elevation in MDR treatment: MCF-7 / ADR cells (1×10 5 cells / well) were seeded on a circular slide and p-DOX or inSNP p-DOX The cells were incubated with a medium containing 4 μg / mL DOX in the nanoparticles for 12 h, and the distribution of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in MCF7 / ADR cells was observed by CLSM. The test results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 10 (Nanomedicine inSNP p-DOX As a control, inSNP p-DOX It refers to the nanoparticles self-assembled by p-DOX encapsulated by non-responsive polythiocarbamate (Ctrl-PTC-PEG) prepared by replacing compound 2 with 4-methylbenzyl alcohol).

[0105] Depend on Figure 10 It can be seen that: PBS group and inSNP p-DOX The P-gp of the group is mainly distributed on the cell membrane, while SNP p-DOX The P-gp of the group was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm, which may be due to the SNP p-DOX Amplifying H2S signals in MCF7 / ADR cells causes mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to insufficient ATP supply and interruption of P-gp transport to the cell membrane, indicating that SNP p-DOXThe induced H2S elevation can cause mitochondrial dysfunction and affect P-gp function.

[0106] c) In vivo anti-tumor therapy test: 15 NOD / SCID mice implanted with an orthotopic MCF-7 / ADR breast cancer model were selected. When the tumor volume reached 100 mm 3 Afterwards, the mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, with 5 mice in each group, and 100 μL of PBS, inSNP, and 100 μL of PBS were injected into the tail vein. p-DOX (5 mg / kg DOX, 100 µL) or SNP p-DOX The mice were treated with 5 mg / kg DOX (100 µL) every other day for a total of 5 times for a total of 22 days. During the entire treatment process, the tumor volume was measured with a vernier caliper every two days, and the weight changes of the mice in each experimental group were detected. The test results are shown in the figure below. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The formula for calculating tumor volume is as follows: Volume (mm 3 ) = 0.5 × length × width 2 .

[0107] Depend on Figure 11 It can be seen that: p-DOX Treated mice showed negligible tumor growth inhibition, likely due to the inSNP p-DOX The SNP group was unable to respond to H2S degradation and did not cause an increase in H2S levels, thus failing to overcome drug resistance and thus exhibiting a weaker inhibitory effect on tumor growth. p-DOX The tumor volume of mice in the treated group was significantly reduced.

[0108] Depend on Figure 12 It can be seen that: using SNP p-DOX The body weight of the treated mice was not significantly different from that of the other groups after treatment, which suggests that SNP p-DOX There is no obvious toxic side effect on mice, that is, polythiocarbamate has good biocompatibility.

[0109] In addition, the test found that the performance of the polythiocarbamates in Examples 2 and 3 was very close to that of the polythiocarbamate in Example 1.
