Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an antibacterial drug-loading system, a preparation method and an application thereof, and more particularly to a bacteriostatic photocage for photocontrolled rapid release of sulfadiazine, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a Gram-positive pathogenic bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus can cause various fatal infections ranging from skin abscesses to sepsis. Its rapidly evolving drug resistance has made it an ongoing challenge in clinical treatment. Current first-line therapeutic drugs (such as β-lactams, vancomycin) have reduced efficacy due to the widespread presence of drug-resistant genes (mecA, vanA) and the bacterial metabolic dormancy mechanism. There is an urgent need to develop new antibacterial strategies to improve efficacy and reduce side effects. Based on its strong antibacterial properties, sulfadiazine (abbreviated as SD) is widely used in the treatment of local infections such as skin abscesses, postoperative infections and osteomyelitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Especially when combined with silver compounds (such as silver sulfadiazine), it can synergistically enhance the anti-infection effect of burn wounds. However, systemic administration of SD has problems such as dose-dependent crystalluria, nephrotoxicity and insufficient penetration into deep tissues (such as osteomyelitis) due to poor water solubility. There is an urgent need to develop a controlled release system to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity.
[0003] Photocontrolled prodrugs release active molecules by light triggering, which can precisely limit the activation of drugs to the lesion area, providing an innovative strategy for precision treatment. Compared with traditional prodrugs that rely on enzyme or environmental activation, the photocontrolled release system achieves precise spatio-temporal control through local activation, significantly reducing the off-target effect. Sanger reagent (i.e., 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene), as a photodeprotecting group (PPG), has shown unique advantages in the release of amide molecules, but its application in the delivery of sulfonamide drugs has not been reported. Developing an efficient and controllable photocage for photocontrolled release of sulfadiazine, that is, a photocontrolled release system or a photo-responsive drug delivery system, is of great significance for improving the antibacterial treatment effect. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of uncontrollable release and high systemic toxicity of existing SD preparations, and provide a bacteriostatic photocage for photocontrolled rapid release of sulfadiazine. This bacteriostatic photocage is based on a photocontrolled release system of Sanger reagent, realizing the efficient spatio-temporal release of SD and targeted antibacterial.
[0005] The present invention also provides a preparation method of the bacteriostatic photocage for photocontrolled rapid release of sulfadiazine and the application of the bacteriostatic photocage for photocontrolled rapid release of sulfadiazine in the rapid dissociation of sulfadiazine and the bacteriostasis of Staphylococcus aureus.
[0006] The technical concept and principle of the present invention are as follows: The photocontrolled antibacterial photocage based on sulfadiazine-2,4-dinitrobenzene derivative can achieve the effective release of sulfadiazine under ultraviolet light irradiation at 400 nm. The present invention for the first time prepares an antibacterial photocage that can rapidly release sulfadiazine by photocontrol, namely sulfadiazine-2,4-dinitrobenzene derivative, and for the first time applies it to the rapid dissociation of sulfadiazine and the antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.
[0007] The technical solution for the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0009]
[0010] The preparation method of the antibacterial photocage for the rapid release of sulfadiazine by photocontrol of the present invention includes the following steps:

After the reaction, purify and vacuum dry to obtain the sulfadiazine-2,4-dinitrobenzene derivative abbreviated as SD-Py-N + which is the antibacterial photocage for the rapid release of sulfadiazine by photocontrol.
[0012] For the preparation method of the antibacterial photocage for the rapid release of sulfadiazine by photocontrol of the present invention, a further technical solution is that the reaction temperature is preferably 80-90 °C, and the solvent is preferably ethanol.

[0028] Preparation of the antibacterial photocage for photocontrolled rapid release of sulfadiazine in Example 1
[0029] Dissolve 200 mg of 2-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)amino)-N-(4-(N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)sulfamoyl)phenyl)acetamide and 64 mg of (3-bromopropyl)trimethylammonium bromide in 100 ml of ethanol solution; stir for 24 hours under an 85 °C oil bath, nitrogen protection and light avoidance conditions; after the reaction is completed, first concentrate the reaction solution under reduced pressure, then purify the crude product by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane / methanol), and finally dry it under vacuum to obtain 140 mg of an oily substance, which is the pure antibacterial photocage for photoresponsive rapid release of sulfadiazine (its 1 1H-NMR spectrum is shown in Figure 1 ).
[0030] Example 2 High-performance liquid chromatography spectrum and photolysis kinetic curve of the antibacterial photocage for photoresponsive rapid release of sulfadiazine
[0031] Accurately weigh 1.0 mg of SD-Py-N prepared in Example 1, dissolve it in 1 ml of acetonitrile to prepare a stock solution of 1.0 mg / mL. Each stock solution is diluted with a 50% methanol-water mixture to obtain a test sample of 100 μg / mL. The sample is irradiated at 400 nm, and its photoreaction process is monitored by HPLC. The results are as + shown in Figure 2 .
[0032] The above results show that:
[0033] The antibacterial photocage SD-Py-N for photoresponsive rapid release of sulfadiazine + can rapidly release SD under 400 nm light irradiation (about 480 s for complete photolysis).
[0034] Example 3 Study on the inhibitory effect of the antibacterial photocage for photoresponsive rapid release of sulfadiazine on Staphylococcus aureus
[0035] Prepare solutions of unphotolyzed SD-Py-N + , photolyzed SD-Py-N + (treated by 400 nm ultraviolet photolysis) and the control drug SD at 0, 2, 5, 10 μM respectively, and add them to the Staphylococcus aureus 29213 bacterial suspension. After incubating at 37 °C for 1 hour, the bacterial solution is diluted 1000-fold twice and evenly spread on the LB agar plate. The plate is placed in a 37 °C constant temperature incubator for 15 hours, the colony morphology is photographed using a gel imaging system, and the number of colonies on each plate is quantitatively counted by ImageJ software. The results are as Figure 3 shown in
[0036] The above results show that:
[0037] When SD-Py-N +(0 - 10 μM) was co - incubated with Staphylococcus aureus 29213, plated and cultured after 5 - minute illumination at 400 nm. The results showed that the number of colonies in the illuminated group decreased by >80% at a concentration of 10 μM, comparable to the SD control group( Figure 3 ).
[0038] Live / Dead fluorescence imaging results of the antibacterial photocage for photo - controlled rapid release of sulfadiazine in Example 4
[0039] Suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus 29213 were incubated with 10 μM of SD - Py - N + (before UV photolysis), SD - Py - N + +UV (after UV photolysis) and SD at 37 °C for 15 minutes. After incubation, the samples were stained with NucGreen / EthD - III for 10 minutes and imaged using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF). The green channel was excited at 488 nm with an emission range of 520 - 560 nm, while the red channel was excited at 561 nm with an emission range of 580 - 640 nm. The results obtained are as Figure 4 shown.
[0040] The above results indicate that:
[0041] Most of the Staphylococcus aureus 29213 cells treated with SD - Py - N + were viable and only visible in the green channel, indicating that SD - Py - N + had little bactericidal activity. In contrast, when co - incubated with UV - photolyzed SD - Py - N + , a significant increase in red fluorescence was detected, indicating a large number of bacteria died. These results are consistent with the observations of Staphylococcus aureus 29213 cells treated with SD alone, further confirming that the bactericidal activity of photolyzed SD - Py - N + originates from the released SD. This finding highlights the effectiveness of SD - Py - N + as a photo - masking compound for photo - controlled release of active antibacterial agents.

[0043] To evaluate the antibacterial activity of the antibacterial photocage for photo - controlled rapid release of sulfadiazine against Staphylococcus aureus 29213, the IC 50Values. In LB medium, the stock solution of the drug-loaded system (1 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide) was diluted in a 2-fold serial dilution manner to obtain final concentrations ranging from 0.1 μM to 100 μM. In a 96-well plate, 50 μL of the drug-loaded system solution and 50 μL of the bacterial suspension were mixed with 100 μL of LB medium, and the total volume per well was 200 μL. The samples were irradiated with ultraviolet light at 400 nm (200 mW / cm 2 ) for 5 minutes, while the dark controls were protected from light. The plates were incubated at 37 °C for 24 hours, and the OD 600 values were recorded using a microplate reader. The IC 50 values were calculated by non-linear regression analysis, and the results obtained are as shown in Figure 5 .
[0044] The above results indicate that:
[0045] SD-Py-N + showed strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus 29213 after photolysis, with an IC 50 value of 1.8620 μM.
