Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedical polymer materials, and in particular relates to a responsive hydrophilic polymer-wrapped nanoparticle drug-carrying system and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Nanocarriers are nanoscale microcolloid systems that can transport anticancer agents, including small molecule drugs, genes, or macromolecules such as proteins. This allows anticancer drugs to escape normal tissues and accumulate in target lesions, thereby achieving targeted therapy. As a result, the concentration of drugs in target lesions is significantly higher, resulting in more effective treatment and reduced toxicity to normal tissues. In addition, nanocarriers can protect drugs from degradation, prolong their half-life in the circulation and reduce renal clearance, enhance the drug's payload capacity, regulate release kinetics, and improve the solubility of anticancer agents.
[0003] Since the concept of nanomedicine was proposed, it has been studied for a large number of diseases, especially in the efficient transport, diagnosis and imaging of anti-tumor drugs. In the past few years, nanomedicine has undergone a long evolutionary history, from non-targeted to targeted, from simple materials to hybrid systems, and from single technology to combined technology. Regulatory agencies have authorized multiple therapeutic nanoparticle (NPs) systems, such as liposomes, albumin and polymer micelles, for cancer treatment. These NPs can cross biological barriers to continuously release their contents in a targeted manner to maintain appropriate blood drug concentrations. At the same time, how to enhance permeability and prolong retention time to achieve good tumor inhibition and tumor ablation effects is still a challenge facing nanomedicine. Summary of the invention
[0004] The first purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defect that many existing tumor chemotherapy drugs cannot penetrate the blood-brain barrier or blood-tumor barrier to reach the tumor site, resulting in poor tumor inhibition and tumor ablation effects, and to provide a new nano-drug delivery system, which can be used as a loading medium for anti-tumor drugs, so as to achieve the purpose of delivering drugs to penetrate the blood-brain barrier or blood-tumor barrier, inhibit tumor growth and ablate tumors.
[0005] Specifically, the nano drug delivery system provided by the present invention includes a nano core and a hydrophilic polymer shell coated on the surface of the nano core, wherein the nano core is formed by a nano drug having active functional groups, and the hydrophilic polymer shell is formed by a hydrophilic polymer, wherein the hydrophilic polymer includes a carboxyl structural unit, a responsive functional group structural unit and a hydrophilic structural unit, and the responsive functional group on the hydrophilic polymer can form a chemical bond with the active functional group on the nano drug through a chemical reaction so that the hydrophilic polymer is wrapped on the surface of the nano drug to form a nano drug delivery system, and the nano drug delivery system can release the drug by chemical bond breaking under acidic conditions and / or can release the drug by utilizing the tumor microenvironment to respond to chemical bonds.
[0006] The second purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned nano drug delivery system, which comprises subjecting the nano drug and the hydrophilic polymer to a chemical reaction in the presence of a solvent, so that the responsive functional groups on the hydrophilic polymer and the active functional groups on the nano drug form chemical bonds through a chemical reaction, thereby wrapping the hydrophilic polymer on the surface of the nano drug, thereby obtaining the above-mentioned nano drug delivery system.
[0007] The third object of the present invention is to provide the application of the above-mentioned nano drug delivery system in anti-tumor.
[0008] The nano drug delivery system provided by the present invention has good tumor inhibition and tumor ablation effects. The reason for this may be that the hydrophilic polymer shell contained in the nano drug delivery system can significantly improve the blood circulation of the nano drug, providing the nano particles with the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, and the shell is environmentally responsive, improving the tumor enrichment and tumor cell uptake ability of the nano particles, thereby achieving the purpose of inhibiting tumor growth and ablating tumors.

The ultrapure water is replaced three times a day. After the dialysis is completed, a 0.45 μm filter membrane is used to remove the aggregated large-size nanoparticles to homogenize the micelles. The collected nanoparticles are drug-loaded nanoparticles (PTX-CsBNPs) and stored in a refrigerator at 4 ° C for use.
[0083] Application Example 1
[0084] (1) Preparation of nano drug delivery system (PTX / MPC NPs)
[0085] Weigh 2 mg of hydrophilic polymer pMPC-DA and dissolve it in 1 mL of the above-mentioned drug-loaded nanoparticle solution. After it is fully dissolved, adjust the pH value to 7.6 with K2HPO4 solution, stir for 2 h to fully react, and then dialyze with PBS solution with a pH value of 7.6. Collect PTX / MPC NPs and store them in a refrigerator at 4°C for use.
[0086] The particle size and particle surface potential of PTX-CsB NPs and PTX / MPC NPs were measured by a particle size analyzer, and the results are shown in Figure 1 As shown, according to the potential analysis, after encapsulating MPC, the potential of the nanoparticles dropped significantly and was almost uncharged, so it can be considered that the MPC polymer encapsulation was successful. Figure 2 Figure 1 is a transmission electron micrograph of nanoparticles encapsulated with MPC, which also proves the successful encapsulation of MPC. In the figure, PTX-CB represents PTX-CsB NPs, and PTX-MPC represents PTX / MPC NPs, the same below.
[0087] (2) Cytotoxicity assay
[0088] The cytotoxicity of PTX / MPC NPs to U87 cells was tested at pH 6.5 and 7.2. Figure 3 From the results in the figure, it can be seen that PTX / MPC NPs in the simulated tumor acidic environment have stronger cytotoxicity to cells, indicating that the MPC shell will be removed in a weakly acidic environment, exposing positively charged nanoparticles, which are more easily engulfed by cells and release drugs.
[0089] (3) Pharmacokinetics
[0090] When preparing drug-loaded nanoparticles, 1 mg Cy5.5 was added to the DMSO system, dissolved, and then slowly added to 9 mL of ultrapure water using a microinjection pump. The drug-loaded nanoparticles were dialyzed with PBS for 24 h to obtain Cy5.5-labeled drug-loaded nanoparticles, which were then coated with an MPC shell layer.
[0091] After the mice were well adapted to the environment, 6 mice were divided into two groups, with three mice in each group. Cy5.5 fluorescently labeled polymer solution was injected into the tail vein of the mice at a concentration of 5 mg / kg. After the serum clearance half-life t1 / 2, blood was collected from the capillaries around the eyes of the mice. About 50 μL of blood was collected and centrifuged before the blood coagulated. The supernatant was collected and its fluorescence value was measured. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 It can be seen that the half-life of the PTX / MPC group was longer than that of the other three groups, indicating that MPC can effectively prolong the circulation time of nanoparticles in animals.
[0092] (4) Tumor inhibition experiment
