Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of organic synthesis and imaging technology, in particular to a corrole structured compound and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Endometrial cancer is one of the three major gynecological malignancies, and its incidence rate ranks the second in China (only next to cervical cancer), and shows a rising trend year by year. In developed countries in Europe and America, the incidence rate of endometrial cancer ranks the first among gynecological malignancies. Surgery is the most important treatment, including total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and systematic lymph node dissection. The most common metastasis pathway of endometrial cancer is through the pathway beside the uterus to the pelvic cavity and abdominal para-aortic lymph nodes, so intraoperative pelvic and abdominal para-aortic lymph node resection is to accurately assess the lymph node status. The lymph node metastasis status is the most important prognostic factor of endometrial cancer. Once the patient has lymph node metastasis, the tumor stage is IIIC, and the 5-year survival rate of the patient decreases from 88.6% to 48.7%; at the same time, once there is lymph node metastasis, it indicates that the patient needs to receive postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy. Therefore, for patients with endometrial cancer, the assessment of lymph node status is of great significance for the development of treatment plan and the judgment of prognosis.

[0003] At present, the main methods for evaluating lymph node metastasis in clinical practice include preoperative imaging evaluation, intraoperative visual and tactile exploration and sentinel lymph node biopsy. Imaging evaluation mainly includes MRI, CT and PET / CT. The sensitivity of MRI for evaluating lymph node metastasis is only 44%; the sensitivity of CT for metastatic lymph nodes of 5-9mm is only 45.1%; and the sensitivity of PET / CT for diagnosing metastatic lymph nodes is only 72%, and it is difficult to distinguish inflammation from cancer. Therefore, imaging examination is usually only used as a reference and cannot guide intraoperative lymph node dissection. Intraoperative visual and tactile exploration can only evaluate suspicious lymph nodes with obvious enlargement or obvious changes in texture. In fact, most of the pathologically confirmed metastatic lymph nodes have no obvious morphological changes, and the average maximum diameter is close to that of non-metastatic lymph nodes (14.1mm vs 13mm), so intraoperative visual and tactile exploration cannot guide intraoperative lymph node resection.

[0004] In addition, the gold standard for diagnosing metastatic lymph nodes is pathological diagnosis, but it usually requires the patient to undergo systematic lymph node dissection to remove lymph nodes during surgery, and pathological diagnosis after surgery to determine. But systematic lymph node dissection can cause a series of complications, such as vascular and nerve damage, lymphedema, lymph cysts, lymph leakage and bleeding, etc., which seriously reduce the postoperative quality of life of patients. Studies have shown that about 60-80% of patients do not have tumor metastasis in the relevant lymphatic drainage area, and these patients can not undergo lymph node dissection; that is, most of the patients with endometrial cancer only receive systematic lymph node dissection in order to assess the status of lymph nodes, resulting in a huge "injury". Because postoperative pathological detection has obvious lag, there is an urgent need in clinical practice for a practical method to early judge metastatic lymph nodes during surgery, and then selectively remove metastatic lymph nodes, avoid systematic lymph node dissection, and thus reduce the damage to patients.

[0005] As an important tool for biomedical research and clinical diagnosis, fluorescence imaging has the advantages of high spatial and temporal resolution, real-time dynamic imaging, high sensitivity, non-invasiveness and low cost. At present, fluorescence probes including fluorescein sodium, 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), methylene blue (MB) and indocyanine green (ICG) have been successfully developed and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and are widely used in clinical fields such as human angiography, sentinel lymph node biopsy and fluorescence navigation surgery. However, the excitation wavelength of these probes is relatively short (<900 nm), and with the increase of tissue penetration depth, it will be severely scattered / absorbed by photons and high spontaneous fluorescence in vivo, thereby limiting its application in in vivo biological imaging.

[0006] Recent studies have revealed that fluorescence imaging technology in the second near-infrared window (1000-1700 nm) has unique advantages, including lower photon absorption and scattering, deep tissue penetration ability, and extremely low background fluorescence. These factors collectively enhance the spatial resolution and fluorescence signal intensity of the imaging, making the second near-infrared imaging exhibit great potential in the field of biological in vivo imaging. In recent years, some fluorescence probes capable of imaging tumors in the second near-infrared window have been developed. However, most of these probes belong to targeted "fluorescent constant" probes, which means that they will continuously emit fluorescence signals after combining with tumor recognition groups, resulting in high background fluorescence and false positive rates. To solve this problem, some single-target responsive activatable fluorescence probes have also been developed. Unlike targeted "fluorescent constant" probes, these probes emit almost no fluorescence in normal cells, and fluorescence is only activated when they combine with tumor tissue pathological parameters (such as pH value, viscosity, polarity, active oxygen, oxygen content, and other tumor microenvironment parameters or highly expressed biological enzymes). Therefore, the background fluorescence of this type of probe is significantly reduced. However, since some targets may also be highly expressed in other diseases, and non-target cells or healthy tissues may express a certain level of corresponding biomarkers in complex biological environments, this type of probe also faces the risk of false positives. To solve this problem, it is necessary to further develop multi-target activated fluorescence probes that can detect two or more targets simultaneously to improve the detection specificity of fluorescence probes in distinguishing between tumor tissues and normal tissues.

[0153] Figure 8 The fluorescence spectrum of Cy-pH-NTR probe in different pH (2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0) DPBS solution containing NTR (10 μM) and NADH (500 μM) was determined. The fluorescence excitation wavelength was 808 nm, and the emission wavelength range was 950 nm-1150 nm. The emission slit width was 1.5 nm, and the fluorescence measuring instrument used was Edinburgh FLS1000 fluorescence spectrophotometer, the excitation light source was an external 808 nm semiconductor laser (Changchun Xin Industrial Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd.), and a quartz cuvette (1 cm) was used for emission measurement. As can be seen from the figure, in the DPBS solution containing excess NTR and NADH, the fluorescence emission spectrum intensity of Cy-pH-NTR probe gradually decreases with the gradual decrease of the pH of the PBS solution, and the pKa of the probe is calculated to be 5.2.

[0154] (6) Recognition test of fluorescent probe Cy-pH-NTR to nitroreductase

[0155] Figure 9 The fluorescence spectra of Cy-pH-NTR probe in pH 5.0 DPBS solution containing NADH (500 μM) were measured with the change of NTR concentration (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 μM). The fluorescence excitation wavelength was 808 nm, and the emission wavelength range was 950 nm-1150 nm. The emission slit width was 1.5 nm, and the fluorescence measuring instrument used was an Edinburgh FLS1000 fluorescence spectrophotometer, the excitation light source was an external 808 nm semiconductor laser (Changchun New Industrial Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd.), and a quartz cuvette (1 cm) was used for emission measurement. As can be seen from the figure, in the pH 5.0 DPBS solution containing NADH, the fluorescence emission spectrum intensity of Cy-pH-NTR probe gradually increased with the gradual increase of NTR concentration, and the detection limit of the probe for NTR detection in 5.0 DPBS solution was calculated to be 0.027 μg / mL.

[0156] (7) Test of specific recognition of fluorescence probe Cy-pH-NTR to nitroreductase and acidic environment

[0157] Figure 10 The fluorescence intensity of Cy-pH-NTR probe (10 μM) in acidic (pH 5.0) and weakly alkaline (pH 8.0) DPBS solution after adding different bioactive molecules (100 μM) (Blank, NTR, Glu, VC, GSH, Cys, ATP, L-Lys, L-Try, Na + , Fe 2+ , Cu 2+ , Ca 2+ , K + , H2O2, ONOO - , NO, HClO) was measured. The fluorescence excitation wavelength was 808 nm, and the emission wavelength range was 950 nm-1150 nm. The emission slit width was 1.5 nm, and the fluorescence measuring instrument used was an Edinburgh FLS1000 fluorescence spectrophotometer, the excitation light source was an external 808 nm semiconductor laser (Changchun New Industrial Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd.), and a quartz cuvette (1 cm) was used for emission measurement. As can be seen from the figure, in the acidic DPBS solution, only after adding NTR, the fluorescence increased sharply, while adding other active molecules, while in the weakly alkaline DPBS solution, no matter what bioactive molecule was added, the fluorescence intensity of the probe hardly changed, indicating that the recognition of the probe to NTR and acidic environment was specific.

[0158] (8) Test of cytotoxicity of fluorescence probe Cy-pH-NTR

[0159] Figure 11The cytotoxicity of Cy-pH-NTR probe in human endometrial cancer cells HEC-1-A and USPC-ARK-1, respectively, can be seen from the figure, and the effect on the viability of HEC-1-A and USPC-ARK-1 cells is not great with the increase of Cy-pH-NTR concentration. The operation method is as follows: HEC-1-A and USPC-ARK-1 cells are inoculated in a 96-well plate at an average density of 1 × 10 5 cells / well. After the cells adhere, 0, 5, 10, 20, and 50 μM of Cy-pH-NTR are added, respectively, and incubated for 48 hours. Then, 10% MTT solution is added to each well and incubated for 4 hours. In addition, 200 μL of DMSO is added, shaken well, and the absorbance at 490 nm is recorded by an enzyme label instrument (TECAN, Infinite M200, Germany). The cell viability determination formula is:

[0160] Vr = (A-A0) / (A S -A0) × 100% (equation S3);

[0161] Wherein A is the absorbance of the experimental group, A S is the absorbance of the control group, and A0is the absorbance of the blank group (no cells).

[0162] (9) Biological safety test of fluorescent probe Cy-pH-NTR

[0163] Figures 12 to 15 The figure is related to the blood routine, blood biochemical parameters and H&E staining of different tissues of normal mice (BLAB / c mice, Jisui Yaoke) at different times after tail vein injection of 200 μL of Cy-pH-NTR probe with a concentration of 50 μM, and the change of mouse body weight. It can be seen that the blood routine parameters and blood biochemical parameters of normal mice injected with Cy-pH-NTR probe fluctuate within the normal range within 28 days, and there is no obvious lesion in each tissue organ of the mice after H&E staining. The change trend of the body weight of the mice after injection of the probe is consistent with the change trend of the body weight of the normal mice, indicating that the probe has good biological safety.

[0164] Example 3

[0165] This embodiment is directed to animal model test of the fluorescent probe Cy-pH-NTR obtained in Example 1, which is as follows:

[0166] Construction of tumor-bearing mouse model: for female BLAB / c nude mice (Jisui Yaoke), the USPC-ARK-1 cells after canceling the chemical were made into a cell suspension with a concentration of 1 × 10 7 cells / mL. 200 μL of cell suspension was inoculated subcutaneously in the right of the nude mice, and about a month later, the tumor diameter was lengthened to 5-10 mm to obtain a tumor-bearing mouse model.

[0167] Construction of tumor metastatic lymph node mouse model: for female BLAB / c nude mice (Ji Cui Yao Kang), the complete USPC-ARK-1 cells were made into cell suspension, the concentration was 1 x 10 7 After about a month, the tumor diameter was 5-10 mm, and the metastatic lymph node mouse model was obtained.

[0168] (1) The tumor imaging effect of fluorescent probe Cy-pH-NTR in tumor-bearing mouse model

[0169] Figure 16 The related atlas of the tumor imaging effect of the probe in the tumor-bearing mouse model. By injecting 200 μL of ICG and Cy-pH-NTR fluorescent probe with a concentration of 20 μM through the tail vein, it can be seen that the Cy-pH-NTR probe has good tumor targeting effect. At 48 h, ICG still has fluorescence in the mouse body, but it has disappeared in the tumor site of the mouse. Cy-pH-NTR probe still has sustained fluorescence in the tumor site, indicating that Cy-pH-NTR can be retained and enriched in the tumor site for a long time.

[0170] (2) Comparison of the tumor imaging effect of fluorescent probe Cy-pH-NTR and single-target pH probe NSCy-975 (Guangzhou Yunsan Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.) in tumor-bearing mouse model

[0171] Figure 17 The related atlas of the tumor imaging effect of Cy-pH-NTR and single-target pH probe NSCy-975 in the tumor-bearing mouse model. The mouse model used USPC-ARK-1 cell endometrial cancer subcutaneous model, and 200 μL of pH probe NSCy-975 and Cy-pH-NTR fluorescent probe with a concentration of 20 μM were injected through the tail vein. It can be seen that compared with single-target pH probe NSCy-975, Cy-pH-NTR probe has better tumor targeting effect and retention and enrichment.

[0172] (3) The imaging effect of fluorescent probe Cy-pH-NTR in each organ of tumor-bearing mouse

[0173] Figure 18The relevant atlas of fluorescence of each organ in a tumor-bearing mouse model 48 h after tail vein injection of the probe. The mouse model used a USPC-ARK-1 cell endometrial cancer subcutaneous model (tumor-bearing mice), and 200 μL of Cy-pH-NTR fluorescent probe with a concentration of 20 μM was injected into the tail vein. After 48 h, the mouse was dissected, and each organ of the mouse was removed, including the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and tumor. Near-infrared two-zone fluorescence imaging was used to image each organ, and it was observed that only the tumor had fluorescence, and the other organs did not have fluorescence.

[0174] (4) Fluorescent probe Cy-pH-NTR imaging effect on metastatic lymph nodes in a mouse model of tumor metastatic lymph nodes

[0175] Figure 19 The relevant atlas of the imaging effect of tumor metastatic lymph nodes at different times after injection of the probe into the mouse footpad. The mouse model used USPC-ARK-1 cell endometrial cancer (injection volume of 200 μL) to inject the mouse footpad to construct a tumor metastatic lymph node model, and then 50 μL of ICG and Cy-pH-NTR fluorescent probe with a concentration of 20 μM was injected into the tumor metastatic lymph node model through the footpad. It can be seen that the Cy-pH-NTR probe has a good tumor targeting effect on metastatic lymph nodes and can be lit by metastatic lymph nodes, and the lighting effect and residence time are better than ICG.

[0176] (5) Fluorescent probe Cy-pH-NTR imaging effect on tumors in clinical samples

[0177] Figure 20 and Figure 21 The relevant atlas of near-infrared two-zone imaging of clinical endometrial cancer tumor (TT) and normal endometrial tissue (NT), as well as endometrial cancer metastatic lymph nodes (MLN) and normal lymph nodes (NLN) samples after spraying 50 μL of ICG and Cy-pH-NTR probe with a concentration of 20 μM. It can be seen that the probe successfully turns on the near-infrared two-zone fluorescence only in the tumor and metastatic lymph nodes, and there is almost no fluorescence in normal tissues and normal lymph node samples, but IGC has fluorescence in each tissue, which has greater interference. In addition, after continuous irradiation with 808 nm laser for 30 minutes, the fluorescence intensity of the tumor metastatic lymph node tissue almost did not decrease significantly, indicating that the probe can be used for a long time in the near-infrared two-zone fluorescence imaging of clinical tumor samples.

[0178] The above embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the present application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can be made, which are all within the protection scope of the present application.
