Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sensitizing drugs for tumor chemotherapy, and specifically relates to a nano preparation of natural products for enhancing chemotherapy, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38) is a topoisomerase I inhibitor that can induce DNA damage and apoptosis in tumor cells by interfering with processes such as DNA replication, transcription, recombination, and repair. Although SN38 has potent antitumor activity, its poor physicochemical properties, including low water solubility, inefficient oral absorption, and severe systemic toxicity, have hindered its clinical translation. Low oral bioavailability means that it can only be administered intravenously, and poor water solubility also makes this process difficult.

[0003] In recent years, numerous attempts have been made to load SN38 into nanocarriers to overcome its shortcomings. However, the rigid chemical structure of such molecules often results in low drug encapsulation efficiency and premature drug leakage from the nanocarriers, resulting in suboptimal drug delivery efficiency and a high risk of toxicity. These limitations have significantly hindered the clinical translation of SN38-loaded nanoparticles. Therefore, designing a highly efficient and low-toxic drug delivery system for SN38 delivery remains a hot topic of research. Prodrug strategies are also gaining increasing attention as a viable approach to overcome the shortcomings of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs. Well-designed prodrugs can significantly improve the poor physicochemical properties of the parent drug, thereby enhancing its oral absorption and bioavailability. Most importantly, rational prodrug design can minimize adverse reactions associated with the parent drug, such as reducing toxicity to normal tissues, improving therapeutic safety, and enhancing patient tolerability. However, while the prodrug strategy offers great promise, it also presents numerous challenges. An ideal anticancer prodrug should exhibit good chemical stability before reaching its target. More importantly, within the tumor, the prodrug should be selectively and rapidly activated to release the drug.

[0004] However, prodrug activation requires at least a minimum effective concentration of the free drug, which greatly limits its clinical application. Therefore, how to fully unleash the anti-tumor potential of SN38 is a key issue that needs to be addressed in the construction of prodrug-based drug delivery methods. Summary of the Invention

[0053] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto in any way.

[0054] The present invention discloses that the inventors have discovered that inserting a tumor-sensitive chemical linker, such as a disulfide bond, into a conjugate can effectively manage the off-target toxicity of anticancer drugs through tumor-selective prodrug activation. The inventors also discovered that the BCL2 protein family plays a decisive role in the anti-apoptotic process of cells. This protein can inhibit cell death caused by a variety of cytotoxic factors. Overexpression of BCL2 can enhance the resistance of tumor cells to many cytotoxins. The inventors have found that galangin can selectively bind to the BCL2 family anti-apoptotic proteins to inhibit their expression. At the same time, galangin can significantly enhance the anti-tumor effect of SN38.

[0055] Therefore, the present inventors arrived at the following present invention based on these findings.

[0058] Specifically, the SN38-9-fluorenylmethanol small molecule prodrug designed in the present invention connects SN38 and 9-fluorenylmethanol with a π-electron conjugated structure through a disulfide bond that breaks in response to reduction. It can stably exist in the form of a prodrug in the blood circulation and normal tissues, and quickly break under the abnormally high reducing environment in tumor cells, thereby achieving the tumor-responsive release of SN38, significantly improving the anti-tumor effect of SN38 while reducing toxic side effects, achieving a "toxicity reduction" effect.

The resulting product is separated and purified by preparative liquid phase to obtain SN38-9-fluorenemethanol small molecule prodrug IV.

The resulting mixture is then slowly added dropwise to 2 mL of deionized water. Uniform DiR-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles (DiR-FSSN / GA nanoparticles) spontaneously form. Remove the organic solvent by rotary evaporation at 25°C.

[0109] Example 6 Colloidal Stability Test of PEG-Modified SN38-9-Fluorenylmethanol Small Molecule Prodrug Nanoparticles

[0110] 1 mL of each of the prodrug nanoparticles prepared in Example 2 and Example 3 was taken out and added to 20 mL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) containing 10% fetal bovine serum. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 12 h, and the particle size changes were measured by dynamic light scattering at predetermined time points (0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, and 12 h). The results are shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown in the figure, the nanoparticle colloid has good stability and the particle size does not change significantly within 12 hours. That is, in the presence of inorganic salts, the constructed SN38 prodrug nanoparticles can exist in a relatively stable form, which is conducive to more drugs being enriched in the tumor site through blood circulation and achieving better therapeutic effects.

[0111] Example 7 In vitro release test of PEG-modified SN38-9-fluorenylmethanol small molecule prodrug and galangin co-assembled nanoparticles

[0112] (1) Release of SN38

[0113] Using PBS buffer at pH 7.4 containing 20% ​​tetrahydrofuran as the release medium, the in vitro release of SN38 in nanoparticles co-assembled with SN38-9-fluorenylmethanol small molecule prodrug and galangin was investigated. 0.82 mL of FSSN / GA nanoparticles (SN38 content of 200 μg / mL) prepared in Example 3 was added to 30 mL of the release medium. Samples were taken at set time points at 37°C, and the concentration of released SN38 was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. A certain concentration of dithiothreitol (DTT, 10 mM) was added to the release medium to investigate the release of the nanoparticles under reducing conditions. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the disulfide-bridged nanoparticles are reduction-responsive and can quickly release SN38 under the action of DTT.

[0114] (2) Release of galangin

[0115] Using PBS buffer at pH 7.4 containing 20% ​​tetrahydrofuran as the release medium, the in vitro release of galangin from nanoparticles co-assembled with SN38-9-fluorenemethanol small molecule prodrug and galangin was investigated. 125 μL of FSSN / GA nanoparticles prepared in Example 3 (with a galangin content of 200 μg / mL) were added to 30 mL of the release medium. Samples were taken at set time points at 37°C, and the concentration of released galangin was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. A certain concentration of dithiothreitol (DTT, 10 mM) was added to the release medium to investigate the release of the nanoparticles under reducing conditions. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the disulfide-bridged nanoparticles are reduction-responsive and can quickly release galangin under the action of DTT.

[0116] Example 8 Cytotoxicity of PEG-modified SN38-9-fluorenylmethanol small molecule prodrug nanoparticles

[0117] The MTT assay was used to investigate the toxicity of PEG-modified SN38 prodrug self-assembled nanoparticles to mouse breast cancer cells (4T1), mouse colon cancer cells (CT26), and mouse fibroblasts (3T3). 4T1 cells and CT26 cells were cultured at 2×103 The cells were seeded in a 96-well culture plate at a density of 100 cells / well. After culturing for 12 hours, the cells were treated with different concentrations of GA solution, SN38 solution, FSSN / GA solution, FSSN nanoparticles prepared in Example 2, and FSSN / GA nanoparticles prepared in Example 3 (same concentration of SN38 and / or GA) for 48 hours. 5 mg / mL of MTT (20 μL / well) was then added and incubated at 37°C for 4 hours. The culture medium was replaced with DMSO (200 μL / well) to dissolve the generated formazan. Finally, the ultraviolet absorbance at 490 nm was measured using a microplate reader. Using 3T3 cells as a cell model, the same method was used to verify the cytotoxicity of SN38 solution, FSSN nanoparticles prepared in Example 2, and FSSN / GA nanoparticles prepared in Example 3 to normal cells.

[0118] The results are as follows Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in Figure 2, when combined with non-toxic concentrations of GA, the cytotoxicity of the FSSN / GA nanoparticle-treated group was significantly higher than that of the FSSN nanoparticle-treated group, confirming the sensitizing effect of GA on FSSN nanoparticles. It is worth noting that compared with the FSSN / GA solution, FSSN nanoparticles exhibited stronger in vitro antitumor activity, mainly due to their efficient cellular uptake and rapid intracellular drug release. In addition, as Figure 10 As shown, FSSN NPs and FSSN / GA NPs showed less cytotoxicity towards 3T3 cells, highlighting their good biocompatibility.

[0119] Example 9 Cellular Uptake of PEG-Modified SN38-9-Fluorenylmethanol Small Molecule Prodrug Nanoparticles

[0120] 4T1 cells were cultured at 2 × 10 5 Cells were seeded at a density of 1 μg / well in 12-well plates and incubated for 24 hours. The culture medium was then replaced with fresh medium containing Cy3 solution, Cy3-PEG-modified FSSN nanoparticles (FSSN-Cy3 nanoparticles) prepared in Example 4, and Cy3-PEG-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles (FSSN / GA-Cy3 nanoparticles) prepared in Example 5 (Cy3 concentration in each medium was 4 μg / mL), and incubation was continued for 0.5 hours or 2 hours, respectively. After washing, fixation, or digestion, the cells were analyzed using a flow cytometer (BD, East Rutherford, NJ, USA).

[0121] like Figure 11As shown, the uptake efficiency of Cy3-PEG-modified FSSN nanoparticles and Cy3-PEG-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles by 4T1 cells was found to be much higher than that of the solution, and this efficiency was time-dependent. Importantly, there was no significant difference between Cy3-PEG-modified FSSN nanoparticles and Cy3-PEG-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles, indicating that nanoparticle co-assembly did not hinder cellular uptake of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were effectively internalized into cells via concentration-independent endocytosis. Therefore, the highly stable Cy3-PEG-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles and Cy3-PEG-modified FSSN nanoparticles exhibited significantly higher cellular uptake efficiency than the Cy3 solution, facilitating tumor cell uptake of the prodrug nanoparticles and subsequently resulting in a superior tumor inhibitory effect.

[0122] Example 10 Pharmacokinetic Study of PEG-Modified SN38-9-Fluorenylmethanol Small Molecule Prodrug Nanoparticles

[0123] Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-220 g were randomly divided into three groups, each consisting of six rats. The in vivo pharmacokinetic behavior of DiR-modified FSSN nanoparticles (DiR-FSSN nanoparticles) prepared in Example 4 and DiR-PEG-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles (DiR-FSSN / GA nanoparticles) prepared in Example 5 were investigated. DiR solution, DiR-modified FSSN nanoparticles, and DiR-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles were injected intravenously via the tail vein at a dose of 1 mg / kg of DiR. Blood samples (0.5 mL) were collected from the ophthalmic vein at 2, 5, 15, 30, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours after injection. Plasma was obtained by centrifugation (8000 rpm, 3 min), and DiR plasma concentrations were quantified using a microplate reader with excitation at 748 nm and emission at 790 nm.

[0124] The plasma drug concentration-time curves of these compounds are as follows Figure 12 As shown, the DiR solution is rapidly cleared from the body in vivo. In contrast, DiR-modified FSSN nanoparticles and DiR-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles have a longer circulation time in the blood, resulting in a higher AUC at the same DiR dose compared to the DiR solution. In addition, compared with DiR-modified FSSN nanoparticles, DiR-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles exhibited better pharmacokinetic behavior, which may be related to their enhanced stability. This shows that DiR-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles can effectively prolong the circulation time of SN38 in the blood and exhibit unique advantages in in vivo administration, which may be conducive to the accumulation of drugs in tumor tissues mediated by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, thereby fully exerting the drug efficacy.

[0125] Example 11 Tissue Distribution Experiment of DiR-Modified SN38-9-Fluorenemethanol Small Molecule Prodrug Nanoparticles

[0126] 4T1 cell suspension was inoculated into BALB / c mice. When the tumor volume reached 400 mm 3 At 1 mg / kg, mice were injected via the tail vein with a DiR solution, DiR-modified FSSN nanoparticles prepared in Example 4 (DiR FSSN nanoparticles), and DiR-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles prepared in Example 5 (DiR-FSSN / GA nanoparticles). Tumors and major organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney) were removed. Fluorescence intensity was then analyzed using an IVIS imaging system.

[0127] like Figure 13 As shown, the fluorescence signals of DiR-modified FSSN nanoparticles and DiR-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles were much stronger than those of the DiR solution and were primarily distributed in the liver and tumor tissues. Notably, at 12 hours after treatment with an equal dose of DiR, the fluorescence intensity of DiR-PEG-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles at the tumor site was stronger than that of DiR-modified FSSN nanoparticles. The stronger fluorescence intensity of DiR-modified FSSN / GA nanoparticles may be related to their superior colloidal stability and in vivo circulation advantages. This suggests that prolonged circulation time can promote the accumulation of prodrug nanoassemblies in tumors through the EPR effect.

[0128] Example 12 In vivo antitumor experiment of PEG-modified SN38-9-fluorenylmethanol small molecule prodrug nanoparticles

[0129] The anti-tumor effect of nanoparticles was evaluated using 4T1 tumor-bearing female BALB / c mice as an in vivo model. 100 μL of 4T1 cell suspension (5×10 7 / mL) to establish a tumor-bearing model. When the tumor volume reached 100mm 3 Mice were randomly divided into six groups, each containing five mice: a control group (PBS), GA solution, FSSN / GA solution, SN38 solution, FSSN nanoparticles prepared in Example 2, and FSSN / GA nanoparticles prepared in Example 3. Dosing was performed every other day for a total of five doses, with each dose containing the same concentration of SN38 (4 mg / kg) and / or GA (25 mg / kg). Tumor volume and body weight were monitored daily. Mice were sacrificed after the final treatment, and tumor tissue was obtained.

[0130] like Figure 14As shown, compared with the control group, the FSSN / GA solution and the SN38 solution exhibited comparable, moderate tumor growth delays. The SN38 solution exhibited significant body weight loss at day 12, indicating significant systemic toxicity. This suggests that the prodrug strategy can largely avoid the off-target toxicity of SN38, and that galangin-mediated chemosensitization is expected to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the SN38 prodrug. Furthermore, compared with FSSN nanoparticles, FSSN / GA nanoparticles exhibited significant tumor growth inhibition. This suggests that the optimal antitumor efficacy of FSSN / GA nanoparticles is attributed to the GA-mediated sensitization and the multiple therapeutic advantages of the prodrug nanosystem, including prolonged blood circulation, efficient cellular uptake, and redox-sensitive drug release. Finally, the therapeutic safety of the nanoparticles was preliminarily investigated. Compared with the GA solution, the FSSN and FSSN / GA nanoparticle groups did not cause significant weight loss after the end of treatment, as assessed by changes in mouse body weight, demonstrating a good safety profile during treatment.

[0131] like Figure 15 As shown, based on the promising therapeutic effects of the dual nanococktail observed in an orthotopic 4T1 tumor model, we expanded our studies to an orthotopic CT26-Luc colorectal tumor model to further evaluate its efficacy. Tumor progression was monitored by bioluminescence imaging, providing real-time assessment of tumor suppression across treatment groups. Mice intravenously injected with FSSN / GA NAs demonstrated the strongest antitumor response, as evidenced by a significant decrease in bioluminescence signal over time. In terms of survival, FSSN / GA NAs demonstrated a significant survival advantage, with a median survival of 41 days in the treated group, significantly longer than in any other group. In contrast, mice treated with FSSN NAs alone had a median survival of only 24 days, indicating that the addition of GA to NAs significantly enhanced the therapeutic effect through GA-mediated chemosensitization and improved tumor accumulation. Notably, the commercially available irinotecan liposomal Onivyde produced only a modest survival benefit compared to the PBS control, with median survival of 15 days versus 8 days, respectively. In conclusion, the prolonged survival in the FSSN / GA NAs treatment group highlights the potential to improve outcomes in an aggressive colorectal tumor model.

[0132] The above results indicate that the galangin-mediated prodrug nanoassembly of the present invention can be used as an efficient and safe combined treatment model, which can effectively alleviate the systemic toxicity of SN38 while enhancing the anti-tumor effect, and can be used for precision cancer chemotherapy for tumor treatment.
