Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biological analysis detection, and particularly relates to cucurbituril derivatives for drug detection and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Drug abuse (methamphetamine, heroin, ketamine, etc.) directly damages the central nervous system, leading to serious physical dependence and mental dependence. Drug abuse not only leads to individual addiction, nerve damage and organ failure, but also exacerbates social problems including rising crime rates, family breakdown, posing a serious threat to public safety and social stability. Therefore, it is urgent to develop drugs with rapid on-site detection and high-efficiency detoxification functions to support clinical first aid and law enforcement applications.

[0003] At present, drug detection methods mainly include laboratory instrument analysis and rapid screening method; laboratory instrument analysis method (such as chromatography, mass spectrometry and combined technology, etc.) has high detection accuracy, but has defects such as complex pretreatment, dependence on equipment and high cost, which is difficult to meet the needs of pre-hospital emergency and grassroots law enforcement, etc.; rapid screening methods mainly include immunoassay, spectroscopy and chemical colorimetric method; immunoassay is simple to operate, but has defects such as being easily disturbed by environment, low sensitivity (methamphetamine 1000 ng / ml, heroin 300 ng / ml, ketamine 1000 ng / ml), and false positive risk; spectroscopy can non-destructively analyze different phase samples, but has defects such as dependence on standard spectrum library, easy to miss detection and difficult to guarantee the uniformity of the base material; chemical colorimetric method is mature, rapid and intuitive, but has defects such as poor specificity, easy to misjudge low content or similar structures, etc.

[0004] In the clinical treatment of drug poisoning, there is still a lack of specific antagonistic drugs at present, and mainly non-specific means such as promoting metabolism and excretion, neutralizing toxic products and symptomatic support are adopted, which is difficult to achieve efficient clearance of drugs and their active metabolites.

[0005] Cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n]) is a kind of supramolecular host macrocyclic compound with a cavity structure. Due to its excellent water solubility, controllable cavity structure, good biocompatibility and high binding capacity, it has shown wide potential in the fields of materials, environment, information and medicine. At present, a series of structures such as CB[4]-CB

[14] have been developed, and their water solubility and recognition performance have been improved by modification. Such derivatives mainly realize the recognition of drug molecules through mechanisms such as hydrophobic interaction, ionic interaction, π-π stacking and cavity matching. For example, the detection limit of CB[7] for morphine can reach 0.07 μg / L. However, most of the existing CB derivatives rely on complex devices (such as organic field effect transistors) to realize detection, which is not conducive to on-site rapid application and is not conducive to the needs of on-site rapid detection, and the applicability is limited. At the same time, the above recognition is non-specific recognition, and the recognition specificity and affinity need to be improved.

[0006] The current drug detection method generally has the problems of complex operation, high equipment requirement, insufficient sensitivity and specificity, etc., and it is difficult to meet the needs of rapid, intuitive and reliable detection in the scene of first-line law enforcement and emergency treatment. On the other hand, there is a lack of specific drugs that can efficiently remove drugs and their metabolites in the treatment aspect. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new type of recognition and antidote material that integrates rapid visual detection and poisoning antagonistic treatment. SUMMARY

[0007] Therefore, the present application provides a cucurbituril derivative for drug detection and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0008] The present application provides a detection probe for drug detection, and the preparation raw materials thereof include a cucurbituril derivative and a fluorescent molecule.

[0011] The o-cyanobenzaldehyde derivative has any one of the following structures:

[0021] wherein a is 2, 3, 4 or 5.

[0022] The cucurbituril derivative designed by the application integrates CNBA into the cucurbituril structure by using an artificial host (cucurbituril) with good binding performance. Through this unique molecular structure design, we use the (open-ring) cucurbituril host with conformational adaptability and negatively charged carbonyl to realize accurate recognition and efficient binding of various psychoactive drugs, and further integrate CNBA to target the primary amine metabolites, thereby significantly improving the detoxification efficiency of psychoactive drug molecules. Taking specific compounds CNBA-acCB-a, CNBA-Hex-acCB and CNBA-CB[7] as examples, the detection effect of the application on common drugs is verified, and the results show that, compared with Calabadion 2 disclosed in the prior art which only contains a methyl group in the waist, the compound obtained by adding the CNBA structure in the open-ring cucurbituril (such as CNBA-acCB-a) has a significantly improved binding capacity for the three psychoactive drugs, i.e., methamphetamine (METH), ketamine (KET) and heroin (HER) at pH 4.0.

[0074] The present application also provides a method for detecting drugs, comprising: detecting drugs in a sample to be detected by using the detection probe of the present application.

[0075] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following remarkable advantages and positive effects:

[0076] 1. The detection performance is significantly improved:

[0077] Compared with the phenyl, naphthyl open-loop cucurbituril and closed-loop cucurbit[7]uril disclosed in the prior art, the CNBA-acCB, CNBA-Hex-acCB and CNBA-CB[7] designed in the present application achieve double advantages through a unique molecular structure: (1) the hydrophobic cavity composed of the dimethyl bridge and the hexyl glycoluril of the artificial host (cucurbituril) with good binding performance can accurately recognize the psychoactive drug molecules through conformational changes; the negative charge characteristics of the two end carbonyl groups can produce electrostatic attraction with the amino cations of the drugs. The above structure can achieve selective binding of various active drug organic molecules in a water environment, thereby improving the detoxification efficiency; (2) the CNBA is integrated into the cucurbituril structure in the present application, and the detoxification effect on methamphetamine and ketamine is achieved by targeting the primary amine metabolites of drugs.

[0078] 2. Breakthrough in molecular recognition ability:

[0079] The naphthalene ring open-loop cucurbituril disclosed in the prior art (i.e. Calabadion 2) contains only a methyl group at the waist, and the binding constants for the above-mentioned methamphetamine (METH), ketamine (KET) and heroin (HER) at pH 7.4 are (2.00±0.10)×10 6 M -1 、(5.29±0.89)×10 5 M -1 、(3.7±0.47)×10 5 M -1 . The present application optimizes the effect of pH on the binding ability, and it is found that the effect at pH 4.0 is better than that at pH 7.4, so the determination of the binding constant in the present patent is at pH 4.0. Compared with Calabadion 2, the CNBA-acCB-a obtained by adding a cyanobenzaldehyde (CNBA) structure to the naphthalene ring in the present application has significantly improved binding ability for the three common drugs. The binding constants for the active drugs methamphetamine, ketamine and heroin are (2.86±0.23)×10 7 M -1 、(1.70±0.16)×106 M -1 , (7.42 ± 1.70) x 10 5 M -1 On the basis of CNBA-acCB-a, the present application increases cyclohexyl structure in its waist to obtain CNBA-Hex-acCB-a, which has binding constants of (6.27 ± 0.28) x 10 6 M -1 , (1.46 ± 1.14) x 10 5 M -1 for the above-mentioned methamphetamine and heroin, respectively, and a poor fitting relationship with ketamine. In addition, CNBA-CB[7] obtained by introducing CNBA structure into the closed ring cucurbituril CB[7] has good binding efficiency for methamphetamine, with a binding constant of (1.24 ± 0.20) x 10 7 M -1 , and a poor fitting effect with ketamine and heroin. However, overall, the binding ability of CNBA-Hex-acCB-a and CNBA-CB[7] for methamphetamine is superior to Calabadion 2.

[0080] 3. The detection limit (LOD) is better than the currently used immunocolloid gold technology

[0081] Methamphetamine: The sensitivity of CNBA-acCB-a for methamphetamine (i.e. the minimum detection limit, 0.12 μmol / L) is more than 55.83 times higher than that of immunocolloid gold (6.70 μmol / L). The sensitivity of CNBA-Hex-acCB-a for methamphetamine (0.09 μmol / L) is more than 74.4 times higher than that of immunocolloid gold (6.70 μmol / L). The sensitivity of CNBA-CB[7]-a for methamphetamine (0.16 μmol / L) is more than 41.87 times higher than that of immunocolloid gold (6.70 μmol / L).

[0082] Ketamine: The detection sensitivity of CNBA-acCB-a for ketamine (0.24 μmol / L) is 17.54 times higher than that of immunocolloid gold (4.21 μmol / L).

[0083] Heroin: The detection sensitivity of CNBA-acCB-a for heroin (0.21 μmol / L) is 3.86 times higher than that of immunocolloid gold (0.81 μmol / L).

[0084] 4. Multi-modal detection system innovation:

[0085] The developed CNBA-acCB-a⊃R6G, CNBA-Hex-acCB-a⊃R6G and CNBA-CB[7]-a⊃R6G fluorescent probes can realize quantitative detection with a limit of 1.0-2.0 μmol / L, and realize rapid and visual detection of common drug molecules on site.

[0086] 5. Detoxification effect

[0087] In vivo and in vitro experiments found that the developed CNBA-acCB-a host molecule can significantly inhibit methamphetamine-induced cell necrosis, reduce the body temperature of mice caused by methamphetamine, and reduce the behavioral sensitization of mice induced by methamphetamine, showing pharmacological effects of antagonizing acute methamphetamine poisoning.

[0114]

[0115] 1. Synthesis of product 1: To a solution of 4-chloro-2-formylbenzonitrile (1.65 g, 10 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was added ethylene glycol (80 mmol). The mixture was refluxed to generate water, which was removed by a reflux water trap. After the complete reaction of the raw material was confirmed by TLC monitoring, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate.

[0117] 2、CNBA derivative 2 synthesis: To a suspension of potassium carbonate (28.5 mg, 206.2 μmol) in dry dichloromethane (2 mL) was added 11-azido-3,6,9-trioxaundecan-1-amine (20.0 mg, 91.6 μmol) under nitrogen atmosphere and stirred for 10 minutes. Then, a solution of compound 1 (28.7 mg, 137.5 μmol) in dry dichloromethane (1 mL) was added and stirring was continued for 3 hours at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (elution gradient: ethyl acetate in n-hexane 0-50%) to obtain the intermediate product as a brown viscous liquid. This was dissolved in acetonitrile and deprotection reaction was carried out by adding 2 N hydrochloric acid. After completion of the reaction, the system was quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The product was again purified by column chromatography (elution gradient: ethyl acetate / petroleum ether = 1:100 to 1:1) to finally obtain compound CNBA derivative 2 (20 mg, 59.2 μmol, yield 64.7%).

[0153] 2.2 Calculation of binding constant

[0154] At 25℃, 2.0 μmol / L CNBA-acCB-a⊃R6G probe was added to sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.0) in a quartz cuvette. Using a microsyringe, methamphetamine standard solution (0-24 μL), heroin standard solution (0-40 μL), ketamine standard solution (0-60 μL) were added in turn, and each time was balanced for 5 minutes. At an excitation wavelength of 310 nm, the change in fluorescence intensity at 350 nm was recorded. As shown in Figure 1 , with the increase of guest concentration, the fluorescence intensity showed regular enhancement. By nonlinear fitting, the binding constants Ka of CNBA-acCB-a⊃R6G with methamphetamine, ketamine and heroin were calculated to be (2.86±0.23)×10 7 M -1 , (1.70±0.16)×10 6 M -1 , (7.42±1.70)×10 5 M -1 , respectively, indicating that there was a strong interaction between the host and the guest.

[0163] After adding different concentrations of methamphetamine, ketamine and heroin into the CNBA-acCB-a⊃R6G probe solution, the color of the solution changed obviously with the increase of concentration: under ultraviolet light, the fluorescence changed from light yellow to yellow Figure 2 ) fluorescence. The detection limit of naked eye can reach 1.0 μmol / L, which meets the demand of on-site rapid screening.

[0168] At 25℃, 2.0 μmol / L CNBA-Hex-acCB-a⊃R6G probe was added to sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.0) in a quartz cuvette. Using a microsyringe, heroin standard solution (0-80 μL), ketamine standard solution (0-26 μL), and methamphetamine standard solution (0-40 μL) were added in turn, and each time was balanced for 5 minutes. At an excitation wavelength of 527 nm, the change in fluorescence intensity at 553 nm was recorded. As shown in Figure 3 , with the increase of guest concentration, the fluorescence intensity showed regular enhancement. Through nonlinear fitting, the binding constants Ka with methamphetamine and heroin were calculated to be (6.27±0.28)×10 6 M -1 and (1.46±1.14)×10 5 M -1 , respectively, indicating that there was a strong interaction between the host and the guest; while the fitting effect of CNBA-Hex-acCB-a and ketamine was poor, indicating that the host-guest interaction was low.

[0170] Methamphetamine, heroin gradient solution of 0-1.5 μmol / L, respectively, with 2.0 μmol / L CNBA-Hex-acCB-a⊃R6G mixed and placed for 10 minutes. In the range of 0-0.8 μmol / L, the fluorescence intensity and concentration showed good linear relationship. According to the calculation of 3 times the signal-to-noise ratio, the detection limit was 0.09 μmol / L, 0.44 μmol / L, respectively. The sensitivity was improved by 74.4 times and 1.84 times compared with the traditional immunocolloidal gold method. The probe system realized visual detection while maintaining high sensitivity.

[0177] 3.5 Visual detection application

[0178] After adding different concentrations of methamphetamine, ketamine and heroin to the CNBA-Hex-acCB-a⊃R6G probe solution, the color of the solution changed obviously with the increase of concentration: under ultraviolet light, the fluorescence changed from light yellow to yellow Figure 4 ) fluorescence. The detection limit that can be distinguished by naked eye reached 1.0 μmol / L, meeting the needs of on-site rapid screening.

[0180] 4.1 Preparation of probe

[0181] CNBA-CB[7] and rhodamine 6G were mixed at a molar ratio of 1:1 to prepare CNBA-CB[7]⊃R6G complex probe. The probe showed magenta color under visible light and emitted light yellow fluorescence under 365 nm ultraviolet light.

[0182] 4.2 Calculation of binding constant

[0183] At 25 °C, 1.0 μmol / L of CNBA-CB[7]·R6G was placed in a quartz cuvette with sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.0). Using a microsyringe, heroin standard solution (0-10 μL), ketamine standard solution (0-10 μL), and methamphetamine standard solution (0-32 μL) were added in turn, and allowed to equilibrate for 5 minutes after each addition. The fluorescence intensity at 557 nm was recorded at an excitation wavelength of 527 nm. As shown in Fig. A, the fluorescence intensity increased regularly with increasing guest methamphetamine concentration, while there was no significant change in fluorescence intensity after the addition of heroin and ketamine. The binding constant Ka with methamphetamine was calculated by nonlinear fitting to be (1.24 ± 0.20) x 10 Figure 5 7 M -1 , indicating that there is a strong interaction between CNBA-CB[7] and methamphetamine, while CNBA-CB[7] cannot be fitted with heroin and ketamine.

[0184] 4.3 Analysis of detection sensitivity

[0185] 0-1.5 μmol / L of methamphetamine gradient solution was prepared and mixed with 2.0 μmol / L CNBA-CB[7] and allowed to stand for 10 minutes. The fluorescence intensity showed a good linear relationship with the concentration in the range of 0-0.8 μmol / L. The detection limit was calculated to be 0.16 μmol / L according to the 3 times signal-to-noise ratio, which is 41.87 times more sensitive than the traditional immunocolloidal gold method (6.70 μmol / L).

[0186] 4.4 Method validation

[0187] 1.0 μmol / L of methamphetamine solution was determined in parallel for 6 times, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was 0.40%, respectively. The standard addition recovery experiment showed that the average recovery rate in the range of 0.4-0.8 μmol / L was 99.17 ± 2.91 %, 92.78 ± 3.74 %, and 104.58 ± 3.65 % (n=3), respectively, proving that the method is accurate and reliable.

[0189] 4.5 Visual detection application

[0190] ​The color of the CNBA-CB[7]⊃R6G probe solution changed obviously with the increase of the concentration of three drugs: methamphetamine, ketamine and heroin. The color of the solution changed from light yellow fluorescence to yellow fluorescence under UV light Figure 6 ). The detection limit of naked eye reached 1.0 μmol / L, which met the needs of rapid screening on site.

[0191] Example 5: Application of acute poisoning detoxification

[0192] 5.1 CCK-8 detection of cell activity

[0193] HEK-293 cells were treated with CNBA-acCB-a at concentrations of 1, 2, 5 and 10 mm for 24 h, and the cell activity was detected by CCK-8 method. The results are shown in Figure 7 .

[0194] The results showed that the cell activity was still 90% after 24 h treatment with 10 mm, and there was no significant effect on the cell activity after 96 h treatment (90.47 ± 2.71% vs. 85.10 ± 5.29%, P = 0.051). 1.0 mm-methamphetamine, 0.1 mm-heroin and 1.0 mm-ketamine could significantly reduce the activity of HEK-293 cells, while 10.0 mm CNBA-acCB-a treatment could significantly reverse the above-mentioned drug-induced reduction of cell activity (methamphetamine: 80.31 ± 5.08% vs. 69.94 ± 3.17%, P = 0.002. Heroin: 78.97 ± 3.79% vs. 73.10 ± 4.80%, P = 0.041. Ketamine: 80.47 ± 4.15% vs. 74.94 ± 3.98%, P = 0.040).

[0195] 5.2 Detection of body temperature changes by rectal thermometer

[0196] The rectal thermometer was used to detect the body temperature changes of mice, and the results are shown in Figure 8 .

[0197] Results showed that 120 mg / kg CNBA-acCB-a had no significant effect on body temperature of mice (0.5 h: 37.66 ± 0.19 vs. 37.62 ± 0.14, P = 0.615). 1 mg methamphetamine could significantly increase body temperature of mice, and reached the peak at 0.5 h (37.66 ± 0.19 vs. 38.76 ± 0.42, P < 0.001), and then gradually decreased, and the body temperature was still significantly higher than that before the experiment at 2 h (37.80 ± 0.32 vs. 37.26 ± 0.13, P < 0.001). 120 mg / kg CNBA-acCB-a could significantly reduce the increase of body temperature of mice induced by 1 mg / kg methamphetamine, especially at 0.5 h (38.75 ± 0.42 vs. 38.09 ± 0.11, P < 0.001). The body temperature of mice in 120 mg / kg CNBA-acCB-a + 1.0 mg / kg methamphetamine group was still significantly lower than that in 1.0 mg / kg methamphetamine group at 2 h (38.75 ± 0.20 vs. 37.80 ± 0.33, P = 0.009).

[0198] 1.0 mg / kg heroin could significantly increase body temperature of mice, and reached the peak at 0.5 h (38.56 ± 0.30 vs. 37.62 ± 0.14, P < 0.001), and then gradually decreased, and the body temperature was still significantly higher than that before the experiment at 2 h (37.89 ± 0.15 vs. 37.33 ± 0.16, P < 0.001). 120 mg / kg CNBA-acCB-a could significantly reduce the increase of body temperature of mice induced by 1 mg / kg heroin, especially at 0.5 h (38.56 ± 0.30 vs. 38.23 ± 0.22, P = 0.012), and there was no statistical difference in body temperature between the two groups at 2 h (37.90 ± 0.15 vs. 37.85 ± 0.16, P = 0.012).

[0199] 5.0 mg / kg ketamine significantly reduced body temperature in mice, peaking at 0.5 h (36.35±0.28 vs. 37.62±0.14, P<0.001), and then gradually returned to normal. After 2 h, the body temperature was still significantly lower than before the experiment (37.10±0.17 vs. 37.32±0.16, P=0.006). 120 mg / kg CNBA-acCB-a significantly alleviated the hypothermia induced by 5.0 mg / kg ketamine in mice at 0.5 h (36.63±0.20 vs. 36.35±0.28, P = 0.020), with no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 1 h and 2 h (1 h: 36.72±0.24 vs. 36.66±0.28, P = 0.612; 2 h: 37.15±0.11 vs. 37.10±0.17, P = 0.442).

[0200] 5.3 Open field test to detect changes in mouse activity

[0201] Changes in mouse activity were detected using an open field box. Figure 9 ).

[0202] like Figure 9 As shown in Figure A, 1.0 mg / kg methamphetamine significantly increased the motor function of mice, with the distance traveled in the open field box at 15 min being significantly greater than that of the control group (35010.84±9325.29 cm vs. 5442.28±1470.03 cm, P<0.001). 120 mg / kg CNBA-acCB-a had no effect on the motor function of mice (6454.39±738.88 cm vs. 5442.28±1470.03 cm, P<0.068). Furthermore, 120 mg / kg CNBA-acCB-a significantly alleviated the increased viability induced by 1.0 mg / kg methamphetamine in mice (21010.54±6457.70 cm vs. 35010.84±9325.29 cm, P = 0.001).

[0203] like Figure 9 As shown in Figure B, the distance traveled in the open field box by mice in the 1.0 mg / kg heroin group at 15 min was significantly greater than that in the control group (21610.84±7199.81 cm vs. 6454.40±738.88 cm, P<0.001). 120 mg / kg CNBA-acCB-a significantly alleviated the increased activity induced by 1.0 mg / kg heroin in mice (21610.84±7199.81 cm vs. 15410.54±4219.45 cm, P = 0.030).

[0204] As Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 5C, the distance moved in the open field box was significantly lower in the 5.0 mg / kg ketamine group than in the control group (4654.40 ± 1362.91 cm vs. 6454.40 ± 738.88 cm, P = 0.002). Meanwhile, the present study showed that the distance moved was significantly higher in the 120 mg / kg CNBA-acCB-a + 5.0 mg / kg ketamine group than in the 5.0 mg / kg ketamine group (5854.40 ± 1163.26 cm vs. 4654.40 ± 1362.91 cm, P = 0.048).

[0205] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, some improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as falling within the scope of the present application.
