Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nanomaterial synthesis, specifically relating to a core-shell structured piezoelectric composite material loaded with NO donor nanoparticles and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with its core pathological mechanism being optic nerve damage caused by elevated intraocular pressure. Traditional drug treatments, such as prostaglandin analogs, and surgical interventions, such as trabeculectomy, suffer from poor compliance, significant trauma, or high risks of complications. Focused ultrasound (FUS), as a non-invasive or minimally invasive technique, has been successfully applied clinically in glaucoma treatment, such as trabeculoplasty and ciliary body ablation. FUS uses high-frequency sound waves (0.5-10 MHz) to precisely deposit energy in target tissues (trabecular meshwork, ciliary body), selectively ablating the ciliary body epithelium through localized high temperatures, thereby reducing aqueous humor secretion. However, as an invasive treatment, FUS carries the risk of postoperative hypotension due to over-ablation or persistent inflammation. More importantly, individual differences in the anterior chamber angle structure (such as trabecular meshwork thickness and ciliary body position) can lead to inaccurate energy deposition and unstable efficacy.

[0003] Low-frequency ultrasound (LFUS) has greater penetration and lower energy attenuation compared to high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), allowing it to directly target key glaucoma sites while reducing the thermal side effects of ultrasound. Therefore, LFUS-mediated drug release has unique advantages in glaucoma treatment. Summary of the Invention

The solution is mixed and stirred to form nanoparticles with a functionalized outer layer.

[0013] Preferably, the NO donor drug is sodium nitroprusside.

[0014] The application of the core-shell structured piezoelectric composite material loaded with NO donor nanoparticles, as described above, in the preparation of drugs for treating glaucoma.

[0015] This invention provides a core-shell structured piezoelectric composite material loaded with NO donor nanoparticles, which has the following technical effects: (1) Layered bismuth-based piezoelectric materials With this as its core, its unique Multi-layer structure and The sandwich design endows the material with a permanent built-in electric field and strong piezoelectric catalytic activity, significantly enhancing the mechanical stress-charge conversion capability. The external ultrasonic excitation of the piezoelectric core generates an electrochemical signal, triggering the on-demand release of NO donor drugs. (2) A ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF) shell with high specific surface area is used to efficiently load drugs using its porous structure, thereby further improving the drug loading capacity of the nano-drug delivery system. (3) Coating the ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF) shell with a polydopamine (PDA) coating effectively blocks the non-specific leakage of SNPs, ensuring zero leakage during delivery and extending the cycle half-life. (4) Set up a functional outer layer It enhances the permeability of ocular mucus (extends corneal retention time to 6-8 hours) and improves biocompatibility.

[0016] The core-shell piezoelectric composite material-loaded NO donor nanoparticles provided by this invention achieve a three-in-one function of "ultrasound triggering-targeted retention-long-acting sustained release," serving as an ultrasound-mediated ocular drug delivery system and providing the first low-frequency ultrasound-responsive nanomedicine for glaucoma treatment. Ultrasound waves can penetrate ocular tissues such as the sclera and cornea; low-frequency ultrasound-mediated external devices can enhance drug penetration and reduce the need for injections. More importantly, by adjusting ultrasound parameters such as frequency, intensity, and time, the timing and dosage of drug release can be precisely determined. In summary, this invention, through its innovative design of "piezoelectric core / MOF drug loading / PDA sealing / PEG functionalization," solves three major challenges in glaucoma treatment: poor drug targeting, uncontrollable release, and the need for frequent administration, providing a safe, efficient, and minimally invasive new paradigm for nanotherapy of irreversible blinding diseases.

Gently add the suspension dropwise to the above solution, and the solution changes from colorless to pale yellow. Transfer the mixed solution to a polytetrafluoroethylene-lined high-pressure reactor and hydrothermally react at 120 °C for 12 hours. After the reaction, centrifuge the product at 10000-15000 rpm, wash it three times each with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol, and finally dry it in a vacuum drying oven at 60 °C for 12 hours to obtain the product. Nanosheets; (2) In-situ encapsulation of MOF shell and NO donor loading: Take 50 mg of the product obtained in step (1) Nanosheets were dispersed in 20 mL of methanol and sonicated for 30 minutes. Then, 5 mL of a 100 mM 2-methylimidazolium methanol solution and 5 mL of a 100 mM [unclear - likely a specific compound or solution] were added. A methanol solution was mixed and reacted with stirring at 40°C for 24 hours. After the reaction, the product was collected by centrifugation and washed three times with methanol to obtain BOC@ZIF-8 core-shell nanoparticles (denoted as BOC-MOF); subsequently, sodium nitroprusside was prepared ( SNP (abbreviated as SNP) methanol solution (30-100 mg, 1 mL); then 100 mg of the above-synthesized BOC-MOF nanoparticles were mixed with the SNP solution and stirred overnight. The SNP@BOC-MOF product was collected by centrifugation and washed three times with methanol to finally obtain SNP@BOC-MOF nanoparticles. (3) Modification with dopamine and methoxy polyethylene glycol amino: 20 mg of SNP@BOC-MOF nanoparticles were dispersed in 20 mL of Tris-HCl buffer (pH=8.5), and 10 mg of dopamine hydrochloride was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours to form a polydopamine (PDA) coating layer. The SNP@BOC-MOF@PDA nanoparticles were collected by centrifugation and washed three times with deionized water.

[0026] Figure 8 The SEM and EDX spectra of the final product were used to further demonstrate the successful MOF shell coating and PDA modification on BOC nanorods by observing Bi, Zn, O, Cl, and C.

[0027] Figure 9 The UV-Vis spectra of the SNP solution and the final product at the same mass concentration are shown. By observing the characteristic absorption peak of SNP at 395 nm, it was found that the final product was significantly lower than the free SNP solution, which suggests that the SNP was successfully loaded into the final product.
