Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer drug synthesis technology, specifically relating to polymers that induce tumor immunogenic cell death, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Immunogenic cell death (ICD) refers to the transformation of tumor cells from a non-immunogenic state to an immunogenic state after exposure to external stimuli, stimulated by the host's immune response. Typical immunological features of ICD include damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), such as the secretion of calreticulin (CRT), high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the release of tumor-associated antigens. These DAMPs promote dendritic cell (DC) maturation and migration, presenting antigens to T cells and activating the host immune system. Constructing nanocarriers that can directly induce ICD simplifies the composition of nanoplatforms and, due to their own immune function, effectively promotes therapeutic efficacy, making them significant for tumor treatment.

[0003] In situ tumor vaccines utilize antigens released directly from dying tumor cells, overcoming the problem of tumor antigen heterogeneity. By binding immune adjuvants to tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), in situ tumor vaccine formation can be promoted. The most significant advantage of this process is that it eliminates the need for additional antigens, relying instead on the tumor's own antigen library generated after external stimulation, thus saving time and costs. By loading cRGD cyclic peptide-modified nanoparticles with immune adjuvants (such as rethimod R848), they can selectively target tumor cells with high αvβ3 expression on their cell surface (such as melanoma cells B16F10), promoting in situ cancer vaccine formation by enhancing tumor cell internalization.

[0004] Immunosuppressive factors in the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), significantly hinder immunotherapeutic efficacy. TAMs primarily exist in the immunosuppressive M2 form, accounting for 50% of all immune cells in tumor tissue, thus facilitating tumor evasion of immune surveillance. M1-type TAMs are pro-inflammatory and can eliminate tumors by presenting antigens to T lymphocytes. Therefore, polarizing M2-TAMs to the M1 form using polarizing agents (such as R848) is one method for modulating TAMs to remodel the TME.

[0005] Mannose-modified nanoparticles can target tumor markers (TAMs) and enhance polarization by increasing intracellular uptake. Furthermore, tumor cells highly express differentiation cluster 47 (CD47) on their surface, which participates in tumor resistance to macrophage phagocytosis via the CD47 / SIRPα signaling pathway. Therefore, both TAM polarization and CD47 / SIRPα signaling pathway blockade are essential for remodeling the tumor microenvironment (TME).

[0006] Therefore, how to simplify the platform composition by constructing a polymer nanoplatform that can induce ICD on its own, while loading drugs with immune adjuvant function and TAM polarization ability, and modifying the formulation surface with targeting ligands that target tumor cells and TAMs respectively, can be used to construct tumor vaccines in situ in vivo and regulate TME, achieving the dual purpose of coordinating natural and adaptive immunity to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the primary objective of this invention is to provide a polymer that induces tumor immunogenic cell death. This polymer is pH-responsive, capable of self-assembling into polymer nanovesicles, and can be loaded with drugs. Upon application, it can induce tumor ICDs to form in situ tumor vaccines and achieve controlled release of hydrophobic immune adjuvants, polarizing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), making it suitable for tumor immunotherapy.

[0008] A second objective of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the polymer that induces tumor immunogenic cell death.

[0009] A third objective of this invention is to provide the application of the polymer described above that induces tumor immunogenic cell death.

[0010] The fourth objective of this invention is to provide an anti-tumor nanomedicine that, upon application, can induce tumor ICDs to form in situ tumor vaccines and achieve controlled release of hydrophobic immune adjuvants, polarizing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), making it suitable for tumor immunotherapy applications.

[0011] One of the objectives of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0012] A polymer that induces tumor immunogenic cell death, the structure of which is shown in Formula I:

[0013]

[0014] In Formula I, m is an integer from 110 to 120; n is an integer from 70 to 75; and p is an integer from 21 to 79.

[0015] R is a tertiary amine group. sulfide group tertiary amine sulfide group One of them.

[0016] The polymer for inducing tumor immunogenic cell death provided by this invention is an ABC-type block polymer. Block A is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) segment, with the corresponding repeating unit m being an integer from 110 to 120; block B is a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) segment, with the corresponding repeating unit n being an integer from 70 to 75; and block C is a composite segment (P(PPMA-MPA-DEA)) with the corresponding repeating unit p being an integer from 21 to 79. This polymer has a novel chemical structure, can induce tumor immunogenic cell death (ICD), and is responsive to pH. Specifically, at pH 7.4, the molecular weight of the hydrophobic portion of the polymer is 1.5 times or more that of the hydrophilic portion (block A), making it highly suitable for the preparation of polymer nanovesicles (a supramolecular aggregate of amphiphilic molecules self-assembling). Furthermore, the PPMA groups in the polymer can induce tumor immunogenic cell death by grafting active groups. Furthermore, polymer nanovesicles prepared by self-assembly of the polymers of the present invention can be further connected with different target heads to achieve targeting of different cells. Hydrophobic drug adjuvants can also be further encapsulated in the hydrophobic core of the vesicles, thereby not only enriching the functions of the polymer, but also enhancing the anti-tumor effect of the drug.

[0017] To optimize the polymer's immunofunctional structure and application performance, as a preferred embodiment, m is 114, n is 73, and p is 79; R is a tertiary amine thioether group.

[0018] The second objective of this invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0019] A method for preparing a polymer that induces tumor immunogenic cell death includes the following steps:

[0020] (1) Polyethylene glycol-amino is subjected to an amidation reaction with 4-cyano-4-(phenylthiocarbonylthio)pentanoic acid N-succinimide ester to obtain polyethylene glycol-4-cyano-4-(phenylthiocarbonylthio)pentanoamide, denoted as PEG-CPPA.

[0021] (2) PEG-CPPA was polymerized with methyl methacrylate to obtain product A, denoted as PEG-PMMA;

[0022] (3) Reaction of PEG-PMMA with N-propargylmethacrylamide yields product B, denoted as PEG-PMMA-PPPMA;

[0023] (4) PEG-PMMA-PPPMA was reacted with mercaptopropionic acid to obtain product E, which was denoted as PEG-PMMA-P (PPMA-MPA);

[0024] (5) PEG-PMMA-P (PPMA-MPA) is esterified with diethylaminoethanol to obtain product F, which is the polymer that induces tumor immunogenic cell death, denoted as PEG-PMMA-P (PPMA-MPA-DEA).

[0025] The polymer preparation method of this invention uses PEG-CPAA as a chain transfer agent to polymerize methyl methacrylate monomer via living RAFT, obtaining a polymer with controllable molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution. Further, after polymerizing N-propynemylated methacrylamide via living RAFT, a click reaction is carried out with mercaptopropionic acid, followed by an esterification reaction with diethylaminoethanol, yielding a polymer with controllable molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution capable of inducing ICD. This process is simple to operate, has mild process conditions, and facilitates the efficient preparation of polymers.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, in step (1), the molar ratio of the reaction between polyethylene glycol-amino and 4-cyano-4-(phenylthiocarbonylthio)valerate N-succinimide ester is 2:3; in step (2), the molar ratio of the reaction between PEG-CPPA and methyl methacrylate is 1:100; in step (3), the molar ratio of the reaction between PEG-PMMA and N-propyne methacrylamide is 1:25; in step (4), the molar ratio of the reaction between PEG-PMMA-PPPMA and mercaptopropionic acid is 1:50; and in step (5), the molar ratio of the reaction between PEG-PMMA-P (PPMA-MPA) and diethylaminoethanol is 1:100.

[0027] The third objective of this invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0028] The above-mentioned polymers that induce tumor immunogenic cell death are used in the preparation of antitumor nanomedicines.

[0029] The fourth objective of this invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0030] An anti-tumor nanomedicine, the preparation method of which includes the following steps: self-assembling the polymer that induces tumor immunogenic cell death to obtain polymer nanovesicles, then modifying the polymer nanovesicles with a target and loading them with drugs that have immune adjuvant function and polarizing macrophage function, thereby obtaining the anti-tumor nanomedicine.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the self-assembly process is as follows: the polymer that induces tumor immunogenic cell death is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, and then phosphate buffer is added to prepare uniformly distributed polymer nanovesicles by solvent exchange.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the target is mannose and / or cRGD cyclic peptide. cRGD cyclic peptide, also known as C(RGDFK) cyclic peptide, is a five-membered cyclic peptide composed of arginine, glycine, aspartic acid, D-phenylalanine, and lysine, with a ring formed by amide bonds at the beginning and end. It is a melanoma-targeting peptide that binds to α-cells on the surface of tumor cells. v β3 receptor binding can serve as a tool for peptide targeting in certain types of cancer. Mannose is an active substance that can target TAMs, increasing polarization rate by enhancing intracellular uptake.

[0033] As a preferred option, the drug with immune adjuvant function and macrophage polarization function is rethimod R848.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, polymer nanovesicles are modified with a target and loaded with drugs possessing both immunoadjuvant and macrophage-polarizing functions. Specifically, the polymer nanovesicles are uniformly mixed with a polymer containing a target and a drug possessing both immunoadjuvant and macrophage-polarizing functions, and then the antitumor nanomedicine is prepared by solvent displacement. Further, the polymer containing the target is prepared by esterifying mannose and / or cRGD cyclic peptides to the carboxyl terminus of polyethylene glycol.

[0035] This invention does not specifically limit the types of tumor cells targeted by the anti-tumor nanomedicines; in specific applications, adaptive designs can be made for different tumor cells. As a preferred embodiment, the anti-tumor nanomedicine is an anti-melanoma drug.

[0036] The antitumor nanomedicine provided by this invention is prepared using a polymer that induces tumor immunogenic cell death. The antitumor nanomedicine prepared by this invention is a pH-responsive nanomedicine, maintaining stability at pH 7.4. After entering the cell, it first enters the lysosome, escapes from the lysosome, and then targets the mitochondria. The nanocarrier self-regulates metabolic oxidative phosphorylation and GSDMD upregulates pyroptosis, directly inducing tumor ICD. The drug is released at pH 5.0. Specifically, nanoparticles modified with a target that target tumor cells release a drug that can act as an immune adjuvant, activating dendritic cells (DCs) to form an in situ tumor vaccine and activating T cells. Nanoparticles modified with a target that target macrophages release a drug that can polarize macrophages and activate the immune system. Animal experiments in melanoma have confirmed that the antitumor nanomedicine of this invention significantly prolongs the median survival of mice and induces significant tumor cell death. Therefore, the polymer that induces tumor immunogenic cell death and the prepared antitumor nanomedicine of this invention can be effectively applied to tumor immunotherapy, providing a new therapeutic strategy for effectively treating cancer by coordinating adaptive and innate immune responses in time and space using immunoactive nanomaterials.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the comprehensive beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0038] The polymer for inducing tumor immunogenic cell death provided by this invention can induce immunogenic death in various tumor cells, expose tumor-associated antigens, and activate in vivo immune responses. Furthermore, the polymer can self-assemble into immunologically active nanoparticles, effectively simplifying the nanoplatform. In addition, the polymer for inducing tumor immunogenic cell death provided by this invention can be linked to different targets to achieve targeting of different cells, thereby reducing the toxicity of nanomedicines to normal cells and immune cells, achieving reduced toxicity and enhanced efficacy. Simultaneously, the polymer for inducing tumor immunogenic cell death provided by this invention can self-assemble into vesicles, and the hydrophobic core of the vesicles can be loaded with hydrophobic drugs. These hydrophobic drugs can be immunoadjuvants that polarize macrophages, thus giving a single polymer multiple functions, making it highly suitable for tumor immunotherapy applications, and showing broad application value in cancer immunotherapy, especially in the immunotherapy of melanoma.

Specifically, 4.68 g (44.8 mmol) of methacrylamide chloride, 2.057 g (37.4 mmol) of propargylamine, and 463.6 mg (3.8 mmol) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine were weighed. The 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, 463.6 mg, 3.8 mmol) was dissolved in DCM, and the propargylamine (2.057 g, 37.4 mmol) was diluted with 12 mL of DCM. The DMAP solution and methacrylamide chloride (4.68 g, 44.8 mmol) were mixed thoroughly, and then added dropwise to the propargylamine solution under ice-water bath and nitrogen atmosphere. After the addition was complete, the mixture was allowed to return to room temperature, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 24 h. After the reaction was complete, the solution was purified by silica gel column chromatography (mobile phase ratio of n-hexane / ethyl acetate = 5 / 1) to obtain a pale yellow oily liquid PPMA with a yield of 25%.
