[0002] Currently, oral administration is the most commonly used form of drug delivery. However, oral administration faces limitations due to the physiological barriers of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as physical barriers such as the solubility and permeability of the drug itself, resulting in unsatisfactory oral administration of many drugs. Oral administration of nanoparticles can improve drug solubility and membrane permeability, thereby enhancing oral absorption of drugs to a certain extent.

[0003] PLGA has good biocompatibility and biodegradability and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for use in drug delivery systems. Research on oral drug delivery systems based on PLGA nanoparticles is relatively extensive and can encapsulate a variety of drugs, including hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs.

[0005] Liposomes are closed vesicles with a double-layer membrane structure composed of amphiphilic molecules such as phospholipids. They are widely used in drug delivery, cosmetics, vaccines, and other fields. Liposomes have been widely used due to their high biocompatibility.

[0006] CN102697721A discloses a salidroside block copolymer lipid nanoparticle preparation, which is mainly made of phospholipids and / or cholesterol and a block copolymer. The block copolymer is selected from PLGA and its derivatives.

[0007] CN103768012A discloses a method for preparing a curcumin lipid nanoparticle suspension or nanoparticles. One part by weight of curcumin and 5 to 20 parts by weight of an amphoteric biodegradable polymer are dissolved in an organic solvent to form a lipid phase solution; a surfactant is dissolved in water to form an aqueous phase solution; the lipid phase solution and the aqueous phase solution are mixed through a microchannel to form particles, and the organic solvent is removed to obtain a curcumin lipid nanoparticle suspension.

[0008] CN112220932A discloses a VCAM-1 monoclonal antibody-tanshinone IIA nanostructured lipid carrier. The VCAM-1 monoclonal antibody-tanshinone IIA lipid nanoparticles are made from 10 parts by mass of tanshinone IIA, 84-89 parts by mass of glycerol monostearate, 0-5 parts by mass of polyethylene glycol monostearate, 0.5 parts by mass of monoamino-terminated polyethylene glycol stearate, and 0.5 parts by mass of VCAM-1 monoclonal antibody.

Steps 1) and 2) can be performed in any order. A detailed description is provided below.

[0120] Formation of an organic phase free of drug molecules

[0121] In step 1'), PLGA is dissolved in an organic solvent to obtain an organic phase. The organic solvent is selected from one or more of ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, acetone, chloroform, and dichloromethane, preferably dichloromethane or chloroform, and more preferably dichloromethane. The mass volume ratio of PLGA to organic solvent can be 15 to 30 mg / mL, preferably 20 to 30 mg / mL, and more preferably 25 to 28 mg / mL.

[0122] Forming an aqueous phase

[0123] In step 2'), an aqueous phase containing a stabilizer is formed. Specifically, the stabilizer is dissolved in water to form an aqueous phase. The stabilizer is selected from polyvinyl alcohol and / or Pluronic F127. The stabilizer is preferably polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) having a molecular weight of 5 to 200 kDa, preferably 30 to 100 kDa, and more preferably 30 to 70 kDa. The concentration of the stabilizer in the aqueous phase can be 1.5 to 3.5 mg / mL, preferably 2 to 3 mg / mL, and more preferably 2 to 2.5 mg / mL.

[0124] Formation of PLGA nanoparticle aqueous solution

[0125] In step 3'), the organic phase is added to the aqueous phase and mixed by oscillation or ultrasound. The organic solvent is then removed and the precipitate is separated to obtain PLGA nanoparticles (without drug molecules). The precipitate is then resuspended in PBS to obtain a PLGA nanoparticle aqueous solution. The volume ratio of the organic phase to the aqueous phase is 1:8-15, preferably 1:9-13, and more preferably 1:9-11. The organic phase can be added dropwise to the aqueous phase. Preferably, ultrasonic mixing is performed, and the ultrasonication is continued for 8-15 minutes, preferably 10-15 minutes. After the ultrasonication, stirring is continued for 8-12 hours. The organic solvent can then be removed by rotary evaporation. The separation method can be centrifugation, and the centrifugal speed can be 8000-15000 r / min, preferably 10000-15000 r / min, and more preferably 12000-13000 r / min. The obtained PLGA nanoparticles are resuspended in PBS to obtain a PLGA nanoparticle aqueous solution.

[0126] Formation of a thin film containing drug molecules

[0127] In step 4'), phospholipids, cholesterol, targeting modification materials and drug molecules are mixed in an organic solvent, and then the organic solvent is removed to obtain a thin film.

[0128] The organic solvent is selected from one or more of ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, acetone, chloroform, and dichloromethane. Preferably, the organic solvent is a mixed solvent of chloroform and methanol, with a volume ratio of 3 to 4:1. According to one embodiment of the present invention, phospholipids, cholesterol, targeting modification materials, and drug molecules are sequentially added to the organic solvent and mixed. After uniform mixing, the organic solvent is removed using a rotary evaporator to obtain a film.

[0129] Formation of targeted lipid nanoparticles B

[0130] In step 5'), an aqueous solution of PLGA nanoparticles is added to the film, shaken or sonicated, and then filtered to obtain targeted lipid nanoparticles. Ultrasound is preferred.

The resulting solution is then filtered through a filter membrane with a diameter of less than 0.5 μm, preferably a 0.22 μm filter membrane, to obtain targeted lipid nanoparticles B.

[0131] <Application>

[0132] The present invention also provides the use of the targeted lipid nanoparticles as described above in the preparation of a drug for treating myocardial ischemia. The drug molecule used in the targeted lipid nanoparticles is tanshinone IIA or a salt thereof (e.g., sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate). The targeted lipid nanoparticles of the present invention can better improve cellular uptake. Moreover, compared with non-targeted lipid nanoparticles, the targeted lipid nanoparticles can improve the intestinal epithelial cell absorption efficiency of the lipid nanoparticles. At the same time, by regulating the hardness of the nanoparticles, the intestinal epithelial cell uptake of the nanoparticles can also be significantly regulated. Constructing nanoparticles with controllable hardness and receptor targeting can improve transmembrane transport efficiency.

[0156]

By comparing Example 3 and Example 4, it can be seen that as the molecular weight of PLGA increases, the Young's modulus increases. This shows that the present invention can produce lipid nanoparticles with controllable hardness.

[0175] Application test case

[0176] 1. Uptake Efficiency

[0177] 1.1 Experimental methods

[0178] Caco-2 cells were plated at 2×10 5 Cells were seeded into 12-well plates at 100 μL / well and cultured for 48 hours. The culture medium was discarded, and Caco-2 cells were incubated with different fluorescently labeled lipid nanoparticles for 2 hours, with triplicate wells per group. The solution was then discarded, and the cells were washed three times with PBS. The cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin, harvested, washed twice with PBS, and resuspended in 500 μL of PBS. The cells were then filtered through a 200-mesh nylon cloth and quantified using flow cytometry.

[0179] The lipid nanoparticles used were those of Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, and Example 5, respectively. The liposomes of Preparation Example 1 were compared, and the targeted lipid nanoparticles (FD-PLGA30K-LP) of Example 6 were also tested. The relationship between lipid nanoparticles of different hardness and cellular uptake was investigated. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 1 A shown and Figure 1 As shown in B. Figure 1 In B, “*” indicates P < 0.05, “***” indicates P < 0.001, and “****” indicates P < 0.0001.

[0180] 1.2 Experimental Results

[0181] Depend on Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1, the lipid nanoparticle group (PLGA30K-LP) improved the cellular uptake of liposome LP compared to the LP group (derived from Comparative Preparation Example 1). Compared to the non-targeted lipid nanoparticles (PLGA30K-LP), the fructose-modified targeted lipid nanoparticles (FD-PLGA30K-LP) significantly improved the intestinal epithelial cell absorption of lipid nanoparticles.

[0182] Depend on Figure 1 B shows that the uptake of lipid nanoparticles varies with the mass ratio of PLGA to phospholipid PC. The hardest-working PLGA15K-LP (5:1) (PLGA to PC mass ratio of 5:1; Young's modulus of 173.67 MPa) exhibits the lowest uptake, while the harder PLGA15K-LP (1:1) and PLGA15K-LP (2:1) (Young's moduli of 310.67 MPa and 348.33 MPa, respectively) exhibit higher uptake. These results indicate that the uptake of lipid nanoparticles increases with increasing hardness. Therefore, adjusting the hardness of lipid nanoparticles can improve their cellular uptake.

[0183] 2. In vivo anti-myocardial ischemia efficacy

[0184] 2.1 Experimental methods

[0185] Coronary artery ligation was used to establish the model. Using ICR mice as the model, the mice were anesthetized (sodium pentobarbital, intraperitoneal injection), fixed in the supine position with tape, and assisted breathing was performed using a small animal ventilator; a small horizontal skin incision was made between the 3rd and 4th intercostal spaces at the left sternal border, and the heart was exposed after separating the underlying muscles; under an in vitro microscope, the left anterior descending artery was ligated with 8-0 silk suture; the reduction in myocardial activity on the anterior wall of the left ventricle indicated that the ligation was successful. The sham-operated group (n=8) used the same surgical method except for the ligation. 3 days after the operation, the surviving ICR mice were randomly divided into 7 groups (n=7): sham-operated group (Sham group), model group (Model group), sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate group (STS group), sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate liposome group (i.e., LP group, LP derived from Comparative Preparation Example 2), MD-PLGA-LP group (derived from Example 7) (20 mg·kg by oral gavage) -1 ·d -1 ) and administered intragastrically for three consecutive days. Cardiac function was then assessed using echocardiography. Simultaneously, myocardial tissue from the ischemic and marginal ischemic zones of the post-MI heart failure group was obtained and HE staining was performed to examine the effect of improving cardiac pathology.

[0186] Echocardiography was used to determine the phenotype of heart failure after myocardial infarction and the effects of each preparation group on cardiac function. Figure 2 The results of HE staining of myocardial tissue are shown in Figure 3 shown.

[0187] 2.2 Experimental Results

[0188] Depend on Figure 2 Compared with the Sham group, the ventricular cavity of the Model group mice was enlarged and the ventricular wall was thinned. Compared with the Model group, the ventricular cavity of the STS group, LP group, and MD-PLGA-LP group mice was reduced to varying degrees, and the ventricular wall was thickened to varying degrees. The ventricular remodeling effect of the LP group and MD-PLGA-LP group was better than that of the STS group. Compared with the LP group, the ventricular cavity of the MD-PLGA-LP group was more significantly reduced, the ventricular wall was thickened, and the ventricular remodeling effect was better.

[0189] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that the cardiomyocytes of the blank control group (normal saline group, i.e., Sham group) mice were normal in morphology, with no cell edema, no inflammatory cell infiltration in the intercellular matrix, and uniform myocardial fiber staining. Compared with the blank control group, the cardiomyocytes of the model group mice were irregular in morphology, with enlarged nuclei and darker colors, disordered myocardial fiber arrangement, and even myocardial fiber rupture and widened intercellular spaces. Compared with the model group, myocardial damage in different drug administration groups was alleviated to varying degrees, with more normal cardiomyocyte morphology, more regular myocardial fiber distribution, and reduced intercellular spaces and inflammatory cell infiltration to varying degrees. Among them, the effect of the MD-PLGA-LP group was better. It can better improve myocardial ischemia.

Any modification, improvement, or substitution that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential content of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
