Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer and a pharmaceutical composition constructed therefrom, a preparation method and applications thereof, and in particular to an aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer capable of inducing cell pyroptosis and ferroptosis and a pharmaceutical composition constructed therefrom with photoimmunosynergistic therapeutic effect, a preparation method and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is an immune stimulation response induced by necrosis or programmed cell death. During the ICD process, cells produce a series of signal molecules - damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). DAMPs mainly include calreticulin exposed on the cell surface, high migration proteins diffusing out of the cell nucleus, ATP released by cells, and heat shock proteins, etc. They can act as natural immune agonists and bind to pattern recognition receptors on the surface of dendritic cells, promote the maturation of dendritic cells, initiate a series of cellular responses, and ultimately activate innate and acquired immune responses.

[0003] Ferroptosis and pyroptosis are two typical immunogenic cell deaths that can activate or change the immune system. The essence of ferroptosis is the depletion of glutathione, the decrease in the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GPX4), and the inability of lipid oxides to be metabolized through the glutathione reductase reaction catalyzed by GPX4. Pyroptosis is a new type of lytic cell death, which is activated by the gasdermin protein family (GSDM) (including GSDMD, GSDME, etc.). The cleaved GSDM will make holes in the cell membrane, thereby destroying the cell membrane and releasing a large number of pro-inflammatory factors and intracellular substances.

[0004] Pyroptosis and ferroptosis-mediated immunotherapy mainly rely on chemotherapy drugs, but their toxic side effects are serious; Poly(I:C), as an artificial interferon inducer, can induce apoptosis and immunogenic cell death (ICD), but its dosage is high, the immune response rate is low, and the therapeutic window is narrow. Therefore, the clinical application of the above immunotherapy drugs has limitations and cannot meet the needs of high-efficiency and low-toxicity treatment. Summary of the invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: The first purpose of the present invention is to provide an aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer that targets and induces pyroptosis and ferroptosis of tumor cells. The second purpose is to provide a pharmaceutical composition constructed by the aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer that has a synergistic photoimmunological therapeutic effect. The third purpose is to provide a preparation method thereof. The fourth purpose is to provide their pharmaceutical applications.

[0006] Technical solution: The aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer of the present invention has the following structure:

[0007]

[0008] Phototherapy is an interventional treatment method for tumors with adjustable light damage, non-invasiveness and few side effects. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are two reasonable ways to achieve phototherapy. In the photodynamic process, the photosensitizer produces cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light; while in the photothermal process, light energy is effectively converted into thermal energy by the photothermal agent. The reactive oxygen species and photothermal energy produced by the photosensitizer targeting lysosomes make the lysosomal membrane permeabilized and the lysosomal function abnormal, thereby further triggering ICD. The AIE photosensitizer designed in the present invention has shown great advantages in fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy due to its high brightness in the aggregated state, good photostability and large Stokes shift, and has the potential for the design and application of lysosome-targeted drugs.

At the same time, the photosensitizer promotes the release of cell contents and inflammatory cytokines by inducing cell pyroptosis, and can play a synergistic role with the immune agonist Poly (I: C), thereby activating anti-tumor immune responses, promoting the production of tumor-specific antigens and the maturation of dendritic cells, promoting T cell activation and proliferation, and providing systemic anti-tumor immunity. This makes the pharmaceutical composition designed by the present invention an effective, low-side effect, targeted dual-induction drug for tumor cell pyroptosis and ferroptosis.

[0061] Example 2: Evaluation of the photophysical properties of the aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer MTCN-3

[0062] like Figure 2As shown in Figure 2, the DMSO solution (10 μM) of MTCN-3 showed a main absorption peak at 499 nm and a fluorescence emission peak at 760 nm. Figure 3 As shown, MTCN-3 exhibits significant aggregation-induced emission properties in a mixed solution of DMSO and toluene.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, dichlorofluorescein (DCFH) was used as a ROS indicator and 10 mW cm -2 The spectra were recorded immediately after irradiating the mixture of photosensitizer MTCN-3 (10 μM) and DCFH (10 μM) with white light (500-600 nm) for different time periods. The fluorescence of DCFH is excited at 488 nm, which shows that MTCN-3 has excellent reactive oxygen generation ability.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the photothermal behavior of MTCN-3 was evaluated using a 520 nm laser. -2 When the MTCN-3 solution (100 μM) was irradiated with light, the temperature gradually increased from 25°C and reached a maximum temperature of 93.4°C. The photothermal conversion efficiency (η) of MTCN-3 was 24.02%, indicating that MTCN-3 has a photothermal effect in vitro.

[0065] Example 3: Preparation of anti-tumor drug composition M@P for photoimmunotherapy

[0066] (1) Preparation of the anti-tumor drug composition M@P for photoimmunotherapy constructed with the aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizer MTCN-3

[0067] 3 mg MTCN-3 was dissolved in 0.5 mL DMSO, and 1 mg Poly(I:C) was dissolved in 1 mL deionized water. Both solutions were added to 18 mL water and stirred at 1200 rpm. 12 mg DSPE-Hyd-PEG-Folate (wherein the molecular weight of PEG is 2000) was dissolved in 0.5 mL DMSO and ultrasonicated until completely dissolved. Then, it was added to the stirring mixed solution and stirred at 1200 rpm overnight.

[0068] (2) Preparation of anti-tumor drug composition for photoimmunotherapy constructed with aggregation-induced luminescence photosensitizers M1 and D1

[0069] Dissolve 3 mg of photosensitizer M1 or D1 in 0.5 mL of DMSO, and 1 mg of Poly(I:C) in 1 mL of deionized water. Add both solutions into 18 mL of water and stir at 1200 rpm. Dissolve 12 mg of DSPE-Hyd-PEG-Folate (wherein the molecular weight of PEG is 2000) in 0.5 mL of DMSO and sonicate until completely dissolved. Then, add to the stirring mixed solution and stir at 1200 rpm overnight.

[0070] The particle size and particle size distribution of the prepared pharmaceutical composition M@P were detected by dynamic light scattering. Figure 6 As shown, the average particle size of the pharmaceutical composition M@P is about 103.4nm, and its Zeta potential is about 18.85±1.66mV, indicating that it has good nanoassembly ability. In addition, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows that the pharmaceutical composition is uniformly spherical. The prepared pharmaceutical composition maintains good stability in water and PBS (pH 7.4), and the particle size does not change significantly within 7 days.

[0071] Example 4: Targeting evaluation of the pharmaceutical composition M@P

[0072] The cellular imaging and subcellular organelle distribution of the drug composition M@P were studied by colocalization analysis. MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured with the drug composition M@P (80 μg / mL) in a confocal culture dish for 4 h, and then the culture medium was removed and the cells were washed with PBS. A commercial lysosomal green stain was then added and cultured for 10 min. Finally, the cells were washed 3 times with PBS and analyzed under a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Figure 7 As shown, when the pharmaceutical composition M@P is co-stained with a lysosomal stain, the red fluorescence of the pharmaceutical composition M@P overlaps well with the green fluorescence of the lysosomal stain, indicating that the pharmaceutical composition M@P has the ability to target lysosomes; the Pearson correlation coefficient between the pharmaceutical composition M@P and the lysosomal stain is 0.84, further indicating that the pharmaceutical composition M@P has good lysosomal targeting ability.

[0073] Example 5: Evaluation of the phototoxicity of the pharmaceutical composition M@P on cancer cells

[0074] The killing effect of the drug composition M@P on MDA-MB-231 tumor cells was detected by the tetrazolium nitro blue colorimetric method (MTT method). -2 Under the conditions of light (M@P+L group) and darkness (M@P group), MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with the drug composition M@P at different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 μg / mL), and their cytotoxicity was determined ( Figure 8 ). Each group of experiments should be repeated at least 3 times. Under dark conditions, even if the concentration of the drug composition M@P is as high as 80μg / mL, the survival rate of cancer cells and normal cells can still reach more than 80%. However, after laser irradiation, cell viability decreased significantly with the increase of the concentration of the drug composition M@P, and the mortality rate reached more than 80%, indicating that the drug composition M@P has obvious phototoxicity to MDA-MB-231 cells.

[0075] Example 6: Effect of the pharmaceutical composition M@P on cellular lysosomal function

[0076] MDA-MB-231 cells were inoculated in confocal culture dishes and cultured for 24 h. The cells were divided into PBS (control), M@P (dark group), M@P+L (light group, 520 nm, 0.5 W cm -2 The cells were treated with AO (2 μM) for 15 min, washed with PBS three times, and then the fluorescence emission of AO cells was observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope. Fig. 9 As shown, the red fluorescence of lysosomes disappeared in the M@P+L group, confirming that the drug composition M@P can cause lysosomal dysfunction under light.

[0077] Example 7: Effects of the pharmaceutical composition M@P on cell pyroptosis and ferroptosis

[0078] Confocal microscopy was used to observe the morphological changes of cells before and after treatment with the drug composition M@P (520 nm, 0.5 W cm -2 ).like Fig.10 As shown in the figure, when the cancer cells treated with the drug composition M@P were irradiated with light for 3 minutes, the cells swelled, bubbles appeared on the cell membrane and gradually expanded, showing an obvious process of cell pyroptosis. The hallmark of ferroptosis is a decrease in intracellular GSH content and an increase in LPO content. GSH and MDA detection kits were used to detect the content of both in the cells to verify whether ferroptosis occurred. PBS, M@P (dark group) and M@P+L (light group, 520nm, 0.5Wcm -2 , 5min) to treat MDA-MB-231 cells, then collect cells from different groups, freeze-thaw three times at -80℃ and 25℃, centrifuge at 8000rpm for 10min, and take the supernatant for determination. Fig.11 As shown, the GSH content of cells treated with the drug composition M@P decreased and the LPO content increased after illumination, verifying the occurrence of ferroptosis.

[0079] Example 8: Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of the pharmaceutical composition M@P

[0080] The 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model (mouse breast cancer tumor) was established by intratumor injection to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the drug composition M@P. The drug composition M@P solution (10 mg / kg; 10 mg per kg mouse) was injected intravenously into 4T1 tumor-bearing BALB / c mice. Fig.12 As shown in the figure, the fluorescence of the drug composition M@P still accumulated in the tumor site 24 hours after injection, showing a good tumor targeting effect. To further demonstrate the effect of synergistic photoimmunotherapy on systemic anti-tumor immune response, a bilateral axillary 4T1 tumor model was established in mice to evaluate whether photoimmunotherapy can effectively induce specific systemic anti-tumor effects. The growth of primary tumors (treated) and distant tumors (untreated) was monitored to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Fig.13 As shown, 9 days after photoimmunotherapy, the primary tumor was effectively inhibited and the growth of distant tumors was also inhibited. Therefore, the drug composition M@P effectively inhibits distant tumors by triggering systemic immunity through photoimmunotherapy.
