Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of liposome preparation, in particular to an anticancer targeted nanoliposome and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Paclitaxel, as a broad-spectrum antitumor drug, inhibits cancer cell division by stabilizing microtubule protein, but its clinical application has been limited for a long time due to defects in physicochemical properties and delivery efficiency. Existing preparations are mainly divided into two categories:
[0003] 1. Solvent injection (such as Taxol) )
[0004] Paclitaxel is solubilized by polyoxyethylene castor oil (Cremophor EL) and anhydrous ethanol, and this solvent system causes severe allergic reactions (incidence > 30%), which requires pre-treatment with antihistamines and glucocorticoids. More importantly, the non-specific distribution of paclitaxel leads to systemic toxicity, bone marrow suppression (incidence of neutropenia 85%) and neurotoxicity (62% of peripheral neuropathy), which significantly reduces patient tolerance.
[0005] 2. Common liposomes / albumin nanoparticles (such as Abraxane) )
[0006] Although the use of sensitizing solvents is avoided, there are still three major bottlenecks:
[0007] Strong passive targeting dependence: only relying on the high permeability and retention effect (EPR) of solid tumors to accumulate, the penetration rate of low vascularization or high interstitial pressure tumors (such as pancreatic cancer) is less than 5%;
[0008] Rapid systemic clearance: the surface of the liposome is easily adsorbed by plasma opsonin and rapidly cleared by the reticuloendothelial system (RES), with a plasma half-life of < 2 hours;
[0009] Therefore, it is necessary to design an anticancer targeted nanoliposome to solve the problems of strong passive targeting dependence and insufficient stability of existing paclitaxel preparations. SUMMARY

[0036] In one aspect, in some embodiments of the present application, an anti-cancer targeting nanoliposome comprises the following components in mass fraction:
[0037] Paclitaxel 1-10 parts, phospholipid 65 parts, cholesterol 10-30 parts, DSPE-PEG2000 5-15 parts, folic acid-PEG-DSPE 2-8 parts, trehalose 1-3 parts and mannitol 4-6 parts.
[0038] Preferably, paclitaxel 5 parts, phospholipid 65 parts, cholesterol 20 parts, DSPE-PEG2000 10 parts, folic acid-PEG-DSPE 5 parts, trehalose 2 parts and mannitol 5 parts.
[0039] Specifically, the paclitaxel, phospholipid (DSPE), cholesterol, DSPE-PEG2000, folic acid-PEG-DSPE, trehalose and mannitol can be directly purchased, and the PEG molecular weight in the folic acid-PEG-DSPE is 2000.
[0040] It can be understood that the folate ligand in the folate-PEG-DSPE can mediate active targeting, improve the uptake of the cancer cells for the present application; the PEG layer can resist RES phagocytosis, prolong the plasma half-life, improve the stability, and the cholesterol-strengthened membrane structure further improves the stability of the present application.
[0041] On the other hand, as Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a preparation method of an anti-cancer targeted nanoliposome comprises the following preparation steps:
[0042] Paclitaxel, DSPC, cholesterol, DSPE-PEG2000 and folate-PEG-DSPE are added into an ethanol-ether mixed solvent for stirring until dissolved to obtain a lipid solution;
[0043] The lipid solution is subjected to rotary evaporation, and after the end, nitrogen sweeping and vacuum drying are performed to obtain a lipid film;
[0044] The citrate buffer is preheated, the lipid film is added into the preheated citrate buffer for gradient hydration, and after the end, the hydrated liquid is subjected to ultrasonic treatment, followed by constant temperature oscillation to obtain a lipid suspension;
[0045] The lipid suspension is subjected to gradient extrusion to obtain a liposome;
[0046] The mannitol and trehalose are mixed and then added into the liposome for stirring until dissolved, followed by freeze-drying to obtain the anti-cancer targeted nanoliposome.
[0047] Specifically, the volume ratio of ethanol to ether in the ethanol-ether mixed solvent is 4:1.
[0048] Specifically, when paclitaxel, DSPC, cholesterol, DSPE-PEG2000 and folate-PEG-DSPE are added into an ethanol-ether mixed solvent for stirring until dissolved: paclitaxel, DSPC, cholesterol, DSPE-PEG2000 and folate-PEG-DSPE are placed in a glass flask, an ethanol-ether mixed solvent is added, and magnetic stirring is performed in a 40°C water bath until complete dissolution to form a clear lipid solution.
[0049] Specifically, when the citrate buffer is preheated, it is preheated to 55°C.
[0050] Specifically, the citrate buffer contains 0.5% by mass of trehalose.
[0051] Specifically, when the mannitol and trehalose are mixed and then added into the liposome for stirring until dissolved, the stirring speed is 300 rpm.
[0052] Specifically, the anti-cancer targeting nanoliposomes are added with 25℃ water for injection, vortexed for 10s, and left for 10 minutes.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature of the rotary evaporation is 35℃, and the rotation speed is 120rpm.
[0054] Specifically, the solution is transferred into a rotary evaporator, and evaporated to a viscous gel state at 35℃ and 120rpm.
[0055] It can be understood that the lipid molecules are orderly self-assembled by low-temperature controllable evaporation, and the safe conversion of the solvent and the pre-forming of the membrane structure are simultaneously completed. Under the condition of precise temperature control at 35℃, the ethanol-ether mixed solvent (boiling point <40℃) is preferentially volatilized, so that the phospholipid molecules are gradually oriented and arranged under the condition of low shear force; when the system reaches a viscous gel state, the lipid molecules have formed a stable lamellar mesophase structure.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the nitrogen flow rate of the nitrogen sweeping is 2L / min, and the sweeping time is 10 minutes.
[0057] It can be understood that the nitrogen sweeping can first forcibly remove the residual ether / ethanol solvent between the lipid molecule layers, so that the residual amount is sharply reduced and the pharmacopoeia safety threshold (ICH Q3C limit) is broken; secondly, an inert gas barrier is formed to block the thermal oxidative degradation path of the phospholipid unsaturated bond (such as the acyl chain of DSPC), so that the peroxide value is controlled to be <0.1meq / kg; at the same time, the hydrodynamic stability of the lipid lamellar mesophase is maintained to avoid phase separation caused by high-temperature evaporation, and the directional embedding rate of the folate-PEG-DSPE ligand in the gel network is ensured to construct a complete targeted molecular interface in the subsequent gradient hydration.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature of the vacuum drying is 25℃, the vacuum degree is -0.1MPa, and the drying time is 2 hours.
[0059] It can be understood that by 25℃ low-temperature vacuum drying (-0.1MPa for 2 hours), three key effects are achieved under the premise of avoiding the degradation of the heat-sensitive targeting ligand: first, the residual solvent (ether / ethanol) between the lipid gel layers is deeply detached to <50ppm of the safety limit by means of the negative pressure environment, and the organic solvent toxicity risk is completely eliminated; secondly, the lipid molecules complete the solid-state conversion from the lamellar mesophase to the stable amorphous film under the condition of low thermal energy, and a dense lipid structure with uniform thickness and surface free energy <40mN / m is formed; at the same time, the β-fold conformation integrity of the folate-PEG-DSPE ligand is maintained, so that the hydration exposure efficiency of the targeting head end is improved in the subsequent hydration process, and a molecular foundation is laid for constructing a high-activity tumor targeting interface.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the solid-liquid ratio of the lipid film to the citrate buffer is 12:1 (mg / ml), the concentration of the citrate buffer is 0.1M, and the pH of the citrate buffer is 5.0.
[0061] It can be understood that, by using 0.1M citrate buffer (pH 5.0, containing 0.5% trehalose) as a hydration medium, the key functions are achieved through a triple synergistic mechanism: the citrate precisely maintains the system pH at 5.0±0.2 in a weakly acidic environment, avoiding the hydrolysis of the ester bond of paclitaxel (72h degradation rate >15% at pH>7) and enhancing the order of the lipid bilayer through protonation (membrane microviscosity is increased by 40%); simultaneously, 0.5% trehalose as a pre-embedded protective agent forms a hydrogen bond network with the polar head of phospholipids, effectively inhibiting the fusion of liposomes during hydration and increasing the proportion of single-layer structures; meanwhile, the citrate ion weakly coordinates with the C2' benzoyloxy group of paclitaxel (binding constant Ka=1.2×10 3 M-1), synergistically reducing drug leakage rate, and constructing a high-stability carrier matrix for subsequent targeted delivery.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the gradient hydration is specifically: adding 1 / 3 volume of the citrate buffer to the lipid film, vortexing for 1 min, then standing in a water bath at 55°C for 10 min, after which 1 / 3 volume of the citrate buffer is added again, vortexing for 30 s, and then adding the remaining 1 / 3 volume of the citrate buffer, vortexing for 30 s.
[0063] It can be understood that, through the step-by-step hydration strategy, a triple synergistic effect is achieved: the first vortexing causes the preheated buffer (55°C) to efficiently strip the lipid film to form primary vesicles, and the standing stage eliminates multilayer structures through heat-induced molecular reorganization; the stepwise addition of the remaining buffer in combination with vortexing shear continuously reduces the interlamellar curvature tension of the liposomes while avoiding mechanical damage, thereby increasing the proportion of single-layer liposomes; simultaneously, the pre-protection mechanism of trehalose is activated, and its hydroxyl groups form a dynamic hydrogen bond network with the polar head of phospholipids, reducing the leakage rate of paclitaxel and laying a structural foundation for constructing a high-uniformity targeted delivery system.
[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the power of the ultrasonic treatment is 100W, and the ultrasonic time is 90s; the temperature of the constant-temperature oscillation is 40°C, the rotation speed is 200rpm, and the oscillation time is 30min.
[0065] Specifically, the hydration liquid is placed in an ice water bath, and a probe ultrasonic instrument (titanium alloy probe with a diameter of 6mm) is used: power 100W, pulse mode (work for 30s / pause for 30s), for a total of 3 cycles. Subsequently, it is transferred to a constant-temperature oscillator, set to 40°C, 200rpm, and oscillated for 30min.
[0066] It can be understood that, through the cascade effect of ice bath pulse ultrasound and constant temperature oscillation, the multilayer liposome aggregates are instantaneously broken under the cavitation effect of the titanium alloy probe, the ice water bath environment synchronously quenches the ultrasonic heat effect, and the amide bond of the folate ligand is protected from breaking; then, the oscillation homogenization stage is entered, the critical metastable state region of 40℃ which is higher than the DSPC phospholipid phase transition temperature (Tm=55℃) is accurately controlled, the ordered rearrangement of the lipid molecules is completed through the Brown motion induced by low-frequency shearing, the particle size is converged under the premise of zero high-pressure damage, and the encapsulation rate of paclitaxel is locked by using the thermal-induced molecular dense packing effect, so as to realize the lossless precision control forming of the nano-targeting system.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the gradient extrusion is specifically that the lipid suspension is extruded 3 times at a temperature of 50℃ and a membrane pore size of 0.45 μm, then the lipid suspension is extruded 3 times at a temperature of 40℃ and a membrane pore size of 0.22 μm, and finally the lipid suspension is extruded 3 times at a temperature of 35℃ and a membrane pore size of 0.1 μm.
[0068] Specifically, the lipid suspension and the extruder (containing a polycarbonate membrane) are preheated to 50℃, the lipid suspension is extruded 3 times through a polycarbonate membrane with a pore size of 0.45 μm at a pressure of 0.5 MPa, then the temperature of the lipid suspension and the extruder (containing a polycarbonate membrane) is reduced to 40℃, the lipid suspension is extruded 3 times through a polycarbonate membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm at a pressure of 0.8 MPa, and finally the temperature of the lipid suspension and the extruder (containing a polycarbonate membrane) is reduced to 35℃, and the lipid suspension is extruded 3 times through a polycarbonate membrane with a pore size of 0.1 μm at a pressure of 1 MPa.
[0069] It can be understood that, through the temperature-pore size synergistic regulation of three-stage gradient extrusion, three precision control effects are realized under the mechanical stress of step-by-step pressure increase: 50℃ high temperature softens the lipid bilayer, and cooperates with 0.45 μm large pore size to efficiently break the residual aggregates; 40℃ intermediate temperature transition stage induces the ordered rearrangement of lipid molecules through a 0.22 μm pore size, eliminating the bimodal distribution of particle size; 35℃ low temperature environment combined with 0.1 μm micro-pore extrusion completes the convergence of particle size under the condition of increased rigidity of the solid-state membrane, while the low temperature inhibits the shearing heat effect, so that the retention rate of the folate ligand covalent bond is improved, and finally the high-quality nanoliposomes with double guarantees of monodispersity and targeting integrity are obtained.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the freeze-drying is specifically that the liposomes are placed in -8℃ ethanol for freezing for 30 minutes, taken out, dried at -45℃, 0.05 mbar for 24 hours, and then warmed to 25℃, 0.001 mbar for 12 hours.
[0071] It can be understood that the three-stage gradient freeze-drying process realizes four key performances: the pre-freezing stage realizes the glass transition of the liposome suspension in an ethanol bath far below the eutectic point temperature (-38℃), forming micron-level connected channels to avoid ice crystal damage; the main drying stage maintains -45℃ below the mannitol-fucrose eutectic point (-32℃), and the free water is sublimated under 0.05 mbar high vacuum, and the residual ether molecules are simultaneously entrained and removed; the analytical drying stage is warmed to 25℃ and uses 0.001 mbar ultra-high vacuum to completely desorb the bound water, increase the specific surface area of freeze-drying, reduce the reconstitution time, and at the same time improve the conformational retention rate of the folate ligand, realize the long-term stable storage and transportation of the targeted nanoliposomes.
