Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical drugs, and in particular to a small molecule boron-10 carrier, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous increase in the incidence of malignant tumors and their high mortality rate worldwide, the treatment of malignant tumors has become a major challenge facing the field of human health. Currently, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are the main means of treating malignant tumors. However, compared with traditional radiotherapy, boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has demonstrated its unique advantages, such as high selectivity, local high-efficiency lethality, and suitability for the treatment of complex parts, thus helping to solve the problem of tumor targeted radiotherapy. As an emerging binary tumor-targeted radiotherapy mode, the key to the success of BNCT lies in the use of boron carriers and thermal (epithermal) neutron beams. BNCT has shown good therapeutic potential for primary or recurrent malignant tumors that are resistant to conventional therapies. BNCT uses biocompatible boron delivery agents to deliver boron-10 ( 10 B) atoms selectively gather into cancer cells; then the tumor tissue is irradiated with thermal neutrons, which triggers the neutrons to interact with the tumor cells. 10 B occurs 10 B (n,α)7Li nuclear reaction, 10 B captures thermal neutrons to form a composite nucleus 11 B, 11 B rapidly splits into alpha particles (4He) and lithium-7 (7Li) atoms, generating 2.4 MeV of energy. 10 B-atom compounds selectively accumulate in cancer cells, so this radiotherapy can selectively damage tumor cells while having little effect on surrounding healthy cells. BNCT greatly reduces the side effects associated with traditional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

[0003] However, BNCT therapy still faces many difficulties and challenges in practical application. First, it is necessary to develop more tumor-selective and effective BNCTs that can deliver effective BNCTs to tumor tissues. 10B dose (~20μg / g) of boron delivery agent. Secondly, such boron-containing drugs must remain in the tumor tissue for a long enough time and be cleared from the surrounding normal tissues to achieve the ideal effect of a boron drug ratio of greater than 3:1 in the tumor to normal tissue. Although the DNA damage caused by BNCT is very serious, some tumor cells may still repair the damaged DNA chains through their own DNA repair mechanisms. These repair mechanisms include pathways such as non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination repair (HRR). Possible reasons include: (1) Tumor cells have a complex DNA repair system that can sense and repair DNA damage. The role of these repair mechanisms is to maintain the stability of the genome; (2) The high-energy particles generated by BNCT usually cause severe DNA double-strand breaks, but not all breaks are fatal. Some breaks may be easier to repair or only cause partial DNA damage. Such damage may not immediately lead to cell death, and cells may survive with the help of DNA repair mechanisms; (3) Tumor cells often have higher genomic instability and adaptability. Especially in the face of treatment-induced DNA damage, tumor cells have better repair and survival capabilities than normal cells. Therefore, it is urgent to combine BNCT with chemotherapy or other therapies for BNCT treatment of malignant tumors. 10 BPA boron medicine is approved by FDA for marketing. 10 BPA boron drugs have the disadvantages of poor tumor selectivity, poor water solubility, short blood half-life, low drug enrichment in tumor tissues, and short retention time. In addition, a large amount of excipients such as fructose are used during the treatment process. The infusion of high-dose fructose in the body can easily lead to insulin resistance in diabetic patients and increased uric acid levels in patients with hyperuricemia and gout, which brings serious health risks to some tumor patients, which seriously limits the therapeutic effect of BNCT. Therefore, the development of a new water-soluble small molecule boron-10 carrier that can not only significantly improve the therapeutic effect of BNCT, but also inhibit DNA damage repair and reduce related biological toxicity has become an urgent need in the field of BNCT treatment of malignant tumors. Summary of the invention

The solvent is then spin-dried, and then purified by HPLC to obtain compound 2; Compound 2 was dissolved in a mixed solution of dichloromethane and trifluoroacetic acid, reacted at room temperature, dried by rotary evaporation, the compound was precipitated, and the remaining solvent was naturally evaporated to obtain a first crude product; a phenylboronic acid derivative was dissolved in DMF, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-O-(7-azabenzotriazole-1-yl) urea hexafluorophosphate and N,N-diisopropylethylamine were added, reacted at room temperature for 30 minutes, the first crude product was added, reacted at room temperature overnight, the solvent was dried by rotary evaporation, and then purified by HPLC to obtain a second crude product; the second crude product was dissolved in a methanol solution containing 20% ​​N,N-diethylaniline, reacted at room temperature for 2 hours, the solvent was dried by rotary evaporation, precipitated with ether, and the residual solvent was naturally evaporated, and then separated by HPLC to obtain compound 3; Compound 3 was dissolved in DMF, and then N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-O-(7-azabenzotriazole-1-yl) urea hexafluorophosphate and N,N-diisopropylethylamine were added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 30 minutes. N-(2-aminoethyl)maleimide hydrochloride was added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature overnight. The solvent was spin-dried and purified by HPLC to obtain an intermediate product. The intermediate product was dissolved in anhydrous acetonitrile and added 10 BSH, reacted at room temperature overnight, and purified by HPLC to obtain 4F-phenylboronic acid-maleimide-selenocysteine-nitroimidazole- 10 BSH, i.e. 4F-PBA-L-Se-Se-MTZ- 10 BSH.
