Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a zwitterionic polypeptide modified paclitaxel derivative, a prodrug nanocarrier micelle and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Paclitaxel is a natural secondary metabolite from Taxus. It has a specific effect on the multiple ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and breast cancer in recent years. It stabilizes microtubules by promoting the polymerization of tubulin dimers and preventing them from depolymerizing, thereby inhibiting the normal dynamic reorganization of the microtubule network and affecting the cell function split during the interphase and mitotic phase. In addition, paclitaxel can also cause abnormal arrangement of microtubule 'bundles' and affect the division of tumor cells. However, paclitaxel has poor water solubility and is not easily absorbed by the human body, which limits its therapeutic effect. In 1992, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved paclitaxel injection (Taxol) for clinical use, which added castor oil to improve its water solubility, but it produced serious nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity after administration. In 2005, the albumin-bound paclitaxel preparation (Abraxance) began to be used in clinical practice, but it has the disadvantages of high cost, short half-life and fast elimination.
[0003] Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a paclitaxel preparation with low cost, long half-life and slow elimination. SUMMARY

[0031] The effects of the present application are as follows:
[0032] 1. The zwitterionic polypeptide used in the present application contains a thiol group at one end, which is connected to the chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel through 2,2'-dithiodipyridine as a bridge in the form of a chemical bond. The chemical bond is sensitive to GSH and can be broken in the high-concentration GSH environment of tumor tissues, so that the hydrophobic anticancer drug is rapidly released. The prodrug nanocarrier micelle prepared in this way has the advantages of high drug loading and good GSH response and rapid on-demand controlled release characteristics in tumor cells.
[0033] 2. The zwitterionic polypeptide used in the present application contains amino groups and carboxyl groups in the side chain, and the ratio of amino groups to carboxyl groups is 1:1.

After being modified to paclitaxel to form a prodrug and then being prepared into a prodrug nanocarrier micelle, the toxicity of the hydrophobic anticancer drug at normal tissues can be reduced, the blood circulation time of the hydrophobic anticancer drug in the body can be prolonged, and the prodrug nanocarrier micelle has good in-vivo biocompatibility.
[0034] 3、The surface of the prepared prodrug nano-drug-loaded micelles is modified with a layer of zwitterionic polypeptide, which forms a dense water layer, so that the affinity between the nano-micelles and normal cells is very low, and the nano-micelles have a slightly positive surface potential under the slightly acidic conditions of tumors due to the pH sensitivity of the zwitterionic polypeptide, so that the affinity of the nano-micelles to tumor cells is significantly higher than that to normal cells, so that the prodrug nano-drug-loaded micelles have better tumor targeting in the mouse body due to the pH responsiveness of the polypeptide.
[0035] 4、The particle size of the prepared prodrug nano-drug-loaded micelles can be controlled below 200nm, so that the high permeability and retention effect of tumors can be used to improve the enrichment amount of hydrophobic anticancer drugs at the tumor site, thereby obtaining a very good tumor inhibition effect.

[0049] The inventors found that researchers have attempted different nano delivery systems to improve the water solubility and anti-tumor activity of paclitaxel, including drug delivery systems such as micelles, liposomes and nanocrystals. The method of using nano drug carriers to encapsulate or chemically bond paclitaxel to deliver paclitaxel has improved the bioavailability of paclitaxel to some extent, but there are still problems of insufficient bioavailability and generally low drug loading. The prodrug strategy can effectively improve the poor physicochemical properties of the therapeutic drug, such as poor stability and low solubility. The nano-particle drug delivery system has obvious advantages in long circulation time, effective tumor targeting and controllable drug release. The prodrug-based nano drug-loaded micelles integrate the advantages of the prodrug strategy and the nano carrier, and exhibit particularly high drug loading and low toxic side effects, which can provide a new solution to the problems of poor water solubility and low drug loading commonly faced by paclitaxel. In addition, in order to induce the effectiveness of paclitaxel, i.e. the anti-tumor activity of paclitaxel, the prodrug-based nano micelles based on paclitaxel must be bioactivated to the active parent paclitaxel drug in the body, especially in tumor cells, which requires that the prodrug-based nano micelles based on paclitaxel can rapidly release the active parent paclitaxel drug on demand in tumor cells. In addition, the prodrug-based nano micelles based on paclitaxel can also be used to encapsulate hydrophobic anticancer drugs, which can significantly improve the poor solubility and large toxic side effects of hydrophobic anticancer drugs, further improving the bioavailability and tumor inhibition effect of hydrophobic anticancer drugs.
[0050] Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to Examples, but those skilled in the art will understand that the following Examples are only used to illustrate the present application and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of the present application. If specific conditions are not specified in the Examples, they are carried out under conventional conditions or according to the manufacturer's recommendations. If the reagents or instruments used are not specified by the manufacturer, they are all conventional products that can be purchased on the market.
[0051] Example 1
[0052] The present embodiment provides a zwitterionic polypeptide-modified paclitaxel derivative, and a prodrug nanocarrier micelle formed by loading doxorubicin therein, and a preparation method thereof, as shown in the following scheme, specifically comprising: Figure 1
[0053] (1) 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid (118 mg, 0.56 mmol) and paclitaxel (1144 mg, 1.34 mmol) were added to a round-bottom flask containing 12 mL of dichloromethane. After sealing, stirring was performed at room temperature for 1 h, and then 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (276 mg, 1.34 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (28 mg, 0.22 mmol) were added. After sealing, refluxing was performed for 48 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was concentrated, and column chromatography was performed to purify the mixture. After purification, the target product paclitaxel dimer (PTX-S-S-PTX) was obtained.
[0054] (2) In a round-bottom flask containing 1 mL of dichloromethane, PTX-S-S-PTX (37 mg, 0.02 mmol) and dithiothreitol (7 mg, 0.04 mmol) were added. After sealing, stirring was performed at room temperature for 1 h, and then triethylamine (8 mg, 0.08 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture. After sealing, refluxing was performed under N2 for 12 h. After the reaction was completed, the organic phase was removed and washed, dried, filtered, and concentrated. Finally, the concentrated solution was precipitated by petroleum ether to obtain the target product mercaptanized paclitaxel (PTX-SH).
[0055] (3) In a round-bottom flask containing trifluoroacetic acid, the molar ratio of the trifluoroacetic acid to 2,2'-dithiodipyridine was 3000:1. Zwitterionic polypeptide (EK)3-C composed of glutamic acid (E) and lysine (K) and 2,2'-dithiodipyridine were added, and the molar ratio of the zwitterionic polypeptide (EK)3-C to 2,2'-dithiodipyridine was 1:3.5. After stirring under N2 for 20 min, sealing was performed, and reaction was performed at room temperature for 4 h. After the reaction was completed, the solution was concentrated, and precipitated by cold ether to obtain a polypeptide derivative containing a disulfide bond ((EK)3-C-SS-PY). In a round-bottom flask containing 3 mL of methanol, (EK)3-C-SS-PY and PTX-SH were added, and the molar ratio of (EK)3-C-SS-PY to PTX-SH was 1:4. Glacial acetic acid was added to adjust the pH to 6.0. After stirring under N2 for 20 min, sealing was performed, and reaction was performed at room temperature for 12 h. After the reaction was completed, the solution was concentrated, and precipitated by cold petroleum ether to obtain the zwitterionic polypeptide-modified paclitaxel derivative (E-SS-P).
[0056] The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of E-SS-P is shown in the following figure, Figure 2 Figure 2 On the E-SS-P nuclear magnetic spectrum, the characteristic peaks of PTX-SH appeared at chemical shifts of 1.1, 3.1, 3.6 and 7.46-8.13 ppm, which indicated that PTX-SH was successfully connected to (EK)3-C. In addition, the disappearance of peaks at 5.7 and 6.3 ppm further proved the successful synthesis of E-SS-P.
[0057] (4) 5 μL of triethylamine was added dropwise to 1 mL of methanol solution containing 186 μg of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX-HCl), and it was treated in the dark. Then it was ultrasonically treated for 1 h to obtain a DOX methanol solution. A 10 mg / mL E-SS-P methanol solution was prepared, and then the above-mentioned DOX methanol solution and E-SS-P methanol solution were mixed in a molar ratio of 1:5, and ultrasonically treated for 3 h at room temperature in the dark. After ultrasonic treatment, the above-mentioned mixture was added dropwise to 1.5 mL of water, and then dialyzed against water in a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cut-off of 500, using 0.5 L of water each time, and dialyzed for 8 h each time, for a total of 3 times. After dialysis, E-SS-P-DOX drug-loaded micelles were obtained.
[0058] The prepared nanomicelles were characterized, as shown in Figures 3 to 8
[0059] The critical micelle concentration value of E-SS-P was determined by fluorescence spectrophotometry, as shown in Figure 3 The inflection point of the curve is the critical micelle concentration value of the E-SS-P blank micelle aqueous solution, and the calculated critical micelle concentration of the blank micelles is 40.74 μg / mL. The size of the critical micelle concentration value is related to the ratio of the hydrophilic end and the hydrophobic end. At this time, in E-SS-P, one end is the zwitterionic peptide (EK)3-C molecule, and the other end is the modified paclitaxel, and the molar ratio of the two is 1:1.
[0060] The doxorubicin and E-SS-P-DOX drug-loaded micelles were scanned by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, as shown in Figure 4 The highest absorption peak of doxorubicin is about 480 nm, and the highest absorption peak of the drug-loaded micelles is about 520 nm. The absorption peak of doxorubicin is red-shifted, indicating that the E-SS-P-DOX drug-loaded micelles successfully encapsulate doxorubicin.
[0061] The blank micelles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 The E-SS-P micelles have regular morphology and are approximately spherical, with an average particle size of 24.99 nm and a relatively uniform particle size distribution.
[0062] The effect of different pH on the zeta potential of E-SS-P-DOX drug-loaded micelles was determined by laser particle size analyzer, as shown in Figure 7 As shown, the Zeta potential of E-SS-P-DOX micelles at pH 7.4, 6.5 and 5.5 is -7.3, 5.0 and 16.5 mV, respectively. These results show that the surface potential of E-SS-P-DOX micelles is reversed from negative to positive in the weakly acidic environment of tumor tissue compared with the pH in normal tissue, which can enhance the uptake of E-SS-P-DOX micelles by cells to some extent, and further deliver more antitumor drugs to the tumor site. The reason for this result is that the dissociation of carboxyl groups causes E-SS-P-DOX micelles to carry a small negative charge at pH = 7.4, while under weakly acidic conditions, the dissociation of carboxyl groups of E-SS-P-DOX micelles is inhibited and the protonation of amino groups is enhanced, so that the Zeta potential of E-SS-P-DOX micelles is positive.
[0063] Figure 8 E-SS-P-DOX drug-loaded micelles were placed in phosphate buffer solutions with GSH concentrations of 0.1 mM, 1 mM and 5 mM, and the hydrodynamic particle size was tested by a particle size potential instrument. As can be seen from the figure, the hydrodynamic particle size of E-SS-P-DOX micelles was measured to be 190 nm, 396 nm and 955 nm at GSH levels of 0.1 mM, 1 mM and 5 mM, respectively. It was found by comparison that the hydrodynamic particle size of E-SS-P-DOX micelles gradually increased as the GSH concentration increased. This is mainly because the breakage of -SS- caused by the increase of GSH concentration, which in turn caused the destruction of E-SS-P-DOX micelles. This result shows that E-SS-P-DOX micelles have the characteristics of rapid on-demand controlled release in tumor cells.

[0137] Experimental Example 1 In vivo tumor inhibition experiment in mice
[0138] I. Experimental method
[0139] Kunming female mice (body weight 18-22 g) were inoculated with cervical cancer cells (U14). U14 cells were inoculated into the abdominal cavity of healthy Kunming female mice, and after 5-7 days, the ascites was taken out under sterile conditions, and the cell number was diluted to 5 x 10 6U14 cells were subcutaneously injected into the right hind leg of Kunming female mice at a dose of 200 μL (2.5 mg / mL). Three days after tumor inoculation, the mice were randomly divided into five groups, each group of six mice, namely Saline group, free PTX group, free DOX group, E-SS-P group and E-SS-P-DOX group. The mice were administered by tail vein injection every other day at a dose of 200 μL (2.5 mg / mL, calculated by the concentration of DOX). The body weight and tumor size of the mice were recorded every day during the experiment. On the 15th day, the mice were sacrificed after anesthesia and photographed, and the tumors were dissected and weighed.
[0140] II. Experimental results
[0141] The in vivo tumor inhibition experiment results are shown in Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 .
[0142] Figure 9 Figure 1 is the change in body weight of mice injected with the prepared prodrug nanocarrier micelles for 14 days in vivo. In the experiment, it can be observed that the body weight of mice injected with free DOX decreased significantly after the 8th day of administration, while the body weight of mice injected with E-SS-P-DOX micelles and normal saline did not show a significant downward trend. From the mouse weight experiment, it can be shown that the prepared E-SS-P-DOX micelles have lower toxicity compared to free doxorubicin.
[0143] Figure 10 Figure 2 is the change in tumor volume of mice injected with the prepared nanomicelles for 14 days in vivo. In the experiment, it can be observed that after 7 tail vein injections, as shown in the figure, the tumor volumes of the Saline, PTX, DOX, E-SS-P micelles and E-SS-P-DOX micelles groups were 1289.3 mm 3 , 789.3 mm 3 , 370.8 mm 3 , 569.3 mm 3 and 20.9 mm 3 , respectively. The tumor inhibition rate of the E-SS-P-DOX micelles group was 98.4%, which indicates that the E-SS-P-DOX micelles have good tumor inhibition performance.
[0144] Figure 11 Figure 3 is a photograph of the tumor site of mice injected with the prepared nanomicelles for 14 days in vivo. From Figure 10 and Figure 11 , it can be shown that the prodrug nanocarrier micelles have good tumor inhibition effect.
[0145] Experimental Example 2 Plasma clearance experiment
[0146] I. Experimental process:
[0147] The E-SS-P-DOX prodrug nanocarrier micelles prepared in Example 1 were used for plasma clearance experiment, which was mainly used to observe the content change of drug in the blood of mice over time. 150 μL of E-SS-P-DOX micelles and DOX (2.5 mg / kg (mass of DOX / mass of mouse)) containing normal saline were injected into the mice through the tail vein respectively. From the initial time of drug injection, 100 μL of blood samples were collected by the method of orbital blood collection at 2 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 9 h, 12 h and 24 h respectively. Then, the blood samples were centrifuged to separate the serum part of the supernatant. After that, the fluorescence intensity values of the serum samples were accurately measured and recorded by fluorescence spectroscopy at a specific excitation wavelength of 480 nm and an emission wavelength of 595 nm. The relative contents of E-SS-P-DOX micelles and DOX in the serum at the corresponding time were calculated.
[0148] II. Experimental results:
[0149] The results are shown in Figure 12 The graph shows that the prodrug nanocarrier micelles modified by the zwitterionic polypeptide have a longer blood circulation time in mice than free doxorubicin hydrochloride.
[0150] Example 3 in vitro release experiment
[0151] The E-SS-P-DOX prodrug nanocarrier micelles prepared in Example 1 were used for in vitro release experiment.
[0152] The E-SS-P-DOX micelles containing 100 μg of DOX were added to the dialysis bag with a molecular weight cut-off of 1500, and then the dialysis bag was immersed in PBS buffer solution with GSH concentrations of 0.1 mM, 1 mM and 5 mM respectively. Every 30 min, 2 mL of sample was taken out in PBS buffer solution with different GSH concentrations, and then the corresponding volume and GSH concentration of PBS buffer solution was added.
[0153] The results are shown in Figure 13 As shown in the graph, when the GSH concentration was 0.1 mM, 1.0 mM and 5.0 mM respectively, the cumulative release amount of E-SS-P-DOX micelles in 48 h was 20.6%, 46.2% and 81.3% respectively. As the GSH concentration increased from 0.1 mM to 1.0 mM and then to 5.0 mM, the cumulative release amount of E-SS-P-DOX micelles in 48 h increased from 20.6% to 46.2% and then to 81.3%, which indicated that E-SS-P-DOX micelles could be effectively reduced by GSH in the tumor microenvironment, thereby achieving the specific release of PTX and DOX. The experimental results showed that E-SS-P-DOX micelles had the characteristics of fast on-demand controlled release in tumor cells.
