Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis technology, and particularly relates to an ultrasonically responsive conjugate based on hydroxyl radicals and its application. Background Technology
[0002] To combat cancer, a wide variety of small-molecule chemotherapy drugs have been developed. These drugs are widely applicable, highly toxic, and economical to use. However, small-molecule drugs also suffer from significant systemic toxicity and poor pharmacokinetics, causing unnecessary suffering for patients. To reduce these toxicities, improving drug selectivity is a common approach, making the development of spatiotemporally controllable prodrug release systems crucial.
[0003] Traditional methods involve selectively activating and releasing non-toxic prodrugs at the tumor site. Among these, exogenous stimulation therapies, such as radiotherapy and photodynamic therapy, offer advantages such as non-invasiveness and spatiotemporal control, showing great promise. Ultrasound, a novel exogenous stimulation therapy, enters the body non-invasively via mechanical sound waves. Through cavitation, it forms bubbles in the liquid, generating a large number of free radical reactive substances. Compared to the relatively mature radiotherapy, it offers advantages such as greater penetration depth and greater safety. However, current ultrasound response structures are relatively limited, and most rely on sound-sensitive agents and reducing substances such as riboflavin and NADH, restricting its application in vivo. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydroxyl radical-based ultrasonically responsive conjugate and its application. The conjugate in this invention can capture hydroxyl radicals generated by ultrasound without the need for an ultrasound sensitizer and release the target molecule through an elimination reaction. Experimental screening revealed that m-phenylene diether structures are the optimal ultrasonically responsive groups.

The resulting molecule is called a prodrug. This prodrug can be a small molecule or used in a polymeric drug delivery system. This prodrug can capture hydroxyl radicals generated by ultrasonic cavitation under conditions without a sonic sensitizer and release the target molecule through an elimination reaction. Experimental screening revealed that m-phenylenediether structures are the optimal ultrasonic responsive groups. Attached Figure Description

[0243] Example 5: Verification of the Free Radical Mechanism
[0244] Compound 12 was selected as a model structure to verify the mechanism of ultrasonic response of 3,5-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol structures.
[0245] (a) Isopropanol capture experiment
[0246] Isopropanol, a hydroxyl radical scavenger, was used to quench hydroxyl radicals generated by ultrasound. This verified that the ultrasonic response of the 3,5-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol structure is mediated via hydroxyl radicals. A stock solution of model compound 12 was dissolved in PBS and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter to prepare a 100 μM sample solution. Different amounts of isopropanol were added to obtain sample solutions with isopropanol concentrations of 0‰, 1‰, 3‰, and 5‰. 600 μL of the sample solution was placed in a 1.5 mL headspace cap vial. The vial was placed in the center of the physiotherapy probe, and ultrasound coupling agent was applied around the vial before ultrasound treatment. The ultrasound duty cycle was set to 50%, the ultrasound frequency to 1 MHz, and the treatment time to 10 min. Three replicates were prepared for each group. The ultrasound-treated samples were incubated at 37℃ for 2 h and then analyzed by HPLC. Specific test conditions and parameters are as follows:
[0247] 1. Detection wavelength: 275 nm
[0248] 2. Test temperature: 40˚C
[0249] 3. Elution gradient: Water (0.1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (90:10, v / v) to Water (0.1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (10:90, v / v), 10 min; Water (0.1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (10:90, v / v) to Water (0.1‰% TFA): Acetonitrile (90:10, v / v), 5 min; Water (0.1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (90:10, v / v), 5 min.
[0250] 4. Flow rate: 1 mL / min
[0251] 5. Data collection time: 20 min
[0252] 6. Injection volume: 20 μL
[0253] The results are as follows Figure 14 As shown, the release of compound 12 was gradually and completely suppressed as the isopropanol equivalent increased, indicating that the ultrasonic response was suppressed as the hydroxyl radicals were suppressed.
[0254] (ii) Fenton reaction
[0255] The use of hydroxyl radicals generated by Fenton's reagent further verified that the ultrasonic response of the 3,5-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol structure is caused by hydroxyl radicals. A certain amount of stock solution of model compound 12 (denoted as 2Ome-ABA) was dissolved in PBS and diluted with PBS to prepare a 20 μM sample solution. Different amounts of ferrous sulfate, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, and hydrogen peroxide were added to the solution, with the molar ratio of the three fixed at 1:1:10. According to the ratio of hydrogen peroxide to substrate compound 12, the samples were divided into four groups: 0.2 eq, 1 eq, 2 eq, and 5 eq, denoted as groups 3-6. A group containing 1 eq of ferrous sulfate and disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate without hydrogen peroxide was designated as group 1, and a group containing 1 eq of hydrogen peroxide without ferrous sulfate or disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate was designated as control group 2. The samples were filtered through a 0.22 μm filter to obtain test samples of different groups. 600 μL of each sample was placed in a headspace vial and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Three replicates were set up for each group. The incubated samples were analyzed by HPLC. The specific test conditions and parameters are as follows:
[0256] 1. Detection wavelength: 275 nm
[0257] 2. Test temperature: 40˚C
[0258] 3. Elution gradient: Water (0.1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (90:10, v / v) to Water (0.1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (10:90, v / v), 10 min; Water (0.1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (10:90, v / v) to Water (0.1‰% TFA): Acetonitrile (90:10, v / v), 5 min; Water (0.1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (90:10, v / v), 5 min.
[0259] 4. Flow rate: 1 mL / min
[0260] 5. Data collection time: 20 min
[0261] 6. Injection volume: 20 μL
[0262] The results are as follows Figure 15 As shown, the target product was gradually released as the equivalent of Fenton's reagent increased, while the control group did not release any product, indicating that hydroxyl radicals can trigger a response.
[0263] (III) Ultrasonic Intermediate Capture
[0264] An attempt was made to capture the intermediate product of hydroxyl radical addition to the aromatic ring. Compound 15 was used in the experiment. A certain amount of stock solution of model compound 15 was dissolved in PBS, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter to prepare a 100 μM sample solution. 600 μL of the sample solution was placed in a 1.5 mL headspace cap vial. The vial was placed in the center of the physiotherapy instrument probe, and ultrasonic coupling agent was applied around the vial before ultrasonication. The ultrasonic duty cycle was set to 50%, the ultrasonic frequency was set to 1 MHz, and the time was 10 min. The ultrasonically treated sample was incubated at 37℃ for 0 h, 1 h, and 2 h, respectively, and then analyzed by HPLC. The specific test conditions and parameters are as follows:
[0265] 1. Detection wavelength: 254 nm
[0266] 2. Test temperature: 40˚C
[0267] 3. Elution gradient: Water (1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (90:10, v / v) to Water (1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (10:90, v / v), 10 min; Water (1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (10:90, v / v) to Water (1‰% TFA): Acetonitrile (90:10, v / v), 5 min; Water (1‰ TFA): Acetonitrile (90:10, v / v), 5 min.
[0268] 4. Flow rate: 1 mL / min
[0269] 5. Data collection time: 20 min
[0270] 6. Injection volume: 20 μL
[0271] The results are as follows Figure 16 As shown, with increasing incubation time, the peak of the intermediate gradually disappears, while the target product gradually increases.
[0272] Further testing was performed using high-resolution mass spectrometry. A certain amount of stock solution of model compound 15 was dissolved in PBS, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter to prepare a 100 μM sample solution. 600 μL of the sample solution was placed in a 1.5 mL headspace cap vial. The vial was placed in the center of the physiotherapy device probe, and ultrasound coupling agent was applied around the vial before ultrasound treatment. The ultrasound duty cycle was set to 50%, the ultrasound frequency to 1 MHz, and the treatment time to 10 min. The ultrasound-treated sample was characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The results are as follows: Figure 17 As shown, the intermediate resulting from the addition of hydroxyl radicals to the benzene ring was captured, confirming that the mechanism is indeed a hydroxyl radical process.
