Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical technology, specifically relating to an albumin-bound BODIPY derivative for boron neutron capture therapy, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary targeted radiotherapy technique based on the principle of nuclear reaction. Its basic principle is to utilize non-radioactive boron-10 (… 10 B) The high capture cross-section of isotopes for thermal neutrons, when 10 After B accumulates in tumor cells, it is then exposed to a superheated neutron beam. 10 B. Neutron capture generation 11 B, followed by nuclear fission, produces alpha rays with high energy transfer density. 4 He) and recoil lithium core ( 7 Li). The range of these two types of rays is only 5-9 μm, which is smaller than the diameter of a single tumor cell, so they can precisely kill tumor cells while minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues.
[0003] The clinical efficacy of BNCT is highly dependent on the performance of the boron carrier. An ideal boron carrier for BNCT should meet the following requirements: (1) low non-neutron irradiation toxicity; (2) high tumor selectivity: the ratio of intratumoral boron concentration to normal tissue boron concentration (T / N) and the ratio of intratumoral boron concentration to blood boron concentration (T / B) should both be greater than 3:1; (3) ideal metabolic kinetics: slow metabolism within the tumor and rapid metabolism in normal tissue and blood; (4) good water solubility, facilitating large-volume administration via intravenous injection. Currently, the only boron carrier used in clinical research is disodium mercaptododecanoate (Na2B). 12 H 11While both hydroxylamine (BSH) and 4-dihydroxyboron-L-phenylalanine (BPA) are effective treatments, they also have limitations. BSH lacks active targeting, has a low tumor uptake rate, and cannot achieve T / N and T / B values greater than 3 simultaneously. Although BPA can be taken up by tumor cells via the L-amino acid transporter (LAT1), its over-reliance on LAT1 is also a drawback. In tumors with low LAT1 expression levels (such as pancreatic cancer and ovarian cancer), the efficacy of BPA becomes very limited. In addition, there are significant individual differences in LAT1 expression levels, which means that even in tumor types traditionally considered to have high LAT1 expression (such as head and neck cancer and glioma), some patients cannot achieve ideal treatment results due to insufficient LAT1 expression. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a class of albumin-bound BODIPY derivatives and their isotope products. BODIPY is coupled with the albumin non-covalent binder 4-(p-iodophenyl)butyric acid (IP), and can be further coupled with BSH. Utilizing the EPR effect of albumin, tumor-targeted delivery of boron-containing modules (BODIPY or BSH) can be achieved. The albumin delivery system does not rely on specific amino acid transport proteins, but rather utilizes the biological characteristics prevalent in solid tumors, making it a broad-spectrum boron carrier platform. Furthermore, the imaging monitoring of boron distribution using BODIPY can be applied to integrated diagnosis and treatment of BNCT (Boron-Neuro-Traumatic Brain Tissue Catalysis).

[0046] Using compound 5 as a starting material, the amino group was protected with benzyloxycarbonyl, and the methyl group outside the BODIPY ring was oxidized to an aldehyde group with pyridinium chlorochromate.

BSH was introduced through Michael addition of the mercapto group to maleimide, thus synthesizing IP-BDP-BSH.

The results show that the yellow fluorescence in MOC-1 cells became increasingly stronger during the co-incubation period of 0.5 h to 12 h after drug administration, with the strongest fluorescence intensity at 12 h. This indicates that the uptake of IP-disulfo-BDP and IP-BDP-BSH by MOC-1 cells increased in a time-dependent manner.

[0137] (1) Quantitative analysis of the uptake of IP-disulfo-BDP and IP-BDP-BSH by MOC-1 cells using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).
[0138] MOC-1 cells in logarithmic growth phase were digested with 0.25% trypsin, the trypsin was neutralized with culture medium, centrifuged, the supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in culture medium to a density of 1×10⁶ cells / year. 6 A cell suspension of 5 × 10⁶ cells / mL was seeded into 12-well plates, with 5 × 10⁶ cells / mL per well. 5Cells were dispersed evenly by shaking and incubated in a constant temperature incubator for 12 h. Cells were observed to adhere well and grow well. IP-disulfo-BDP, IP-BDP-BSH, and BSH were prepared into 100 μM drug solutions using culture medium. The original culture medium was removed from the 12-well plates, and 1 mL of the prepared drug solution was added to each well. After shaking, the plates were placed in a constant temperature incubator, and MOC-1 cells were co-incubated with the drug-containing medium for 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 h, with 5 parallel wells at each time point. After incubation, the drug-containing medium was removed, and cell growth was observed in the wells. Each well was rinsed with 500 μL PBS three times, and the PBS was removed. 1 mL of digestion buffer (concentrated nitric acid:concentrated sulfuric acid = 1:1, v:v) was added to each well, the plates were capped, and digestion was carried out at room temperature for 72 h. After digestion, deionized water was added to each well to a final volume of 3 mL. The solution was then filtered into EP tubes using a 5 mL syringe and a 0.22 μm pore size polyethersulfone membrane. The boron concentration in the solution of the EP tubes was determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The boron uptake of cells after co-incubation with the drug-containing culture medium for different time periods was calculated using the following formula: Cellular boron uptake (ng B / 10) 6 (cells) = (boron content in the treatment group - boron content in the control group) / cell number. The results are shown in Figure 14. The results indicate that the boron uptake of IP-disulfo-BDP by MOC-1 cells showed a slow increasing trend within the test range, reaching exactly 20 ng B / 10 at 2 h. 6 Cells, reaching peak at 12h (23 ng B / 10) 6 The boron uptake of IP-BDP-BSH by MOC-1 cells also showed a slow upward trend, exceeding 20 ng B / 10 at 0.5 h. 6 Cells, reaching peak at 12 h (43 ng B / 10) 6 The uptake of IP-disulfo-BDP and IP-BDP-BSH by MOC-1 cells showed a time-dependent increase, consistent with the uptake observed under fluorescence microscopy. Furthermore, the uptake of IP-disulfo-BDP and IP-BDP-BSH by MOC-1 cells was significantly superior to that of BSH at all time points.
[0139] (2) ICP-OES quantitative analysis of the uptake of IP-disulfo-BDP and IP-BDP-BSH by SAS cells
[0140] The uptake of IP-disulfo-BDP and IP-BDP-BSH by SAS cells was quantitatively determined using the same method. The results are shown in Figure 15. The results showed that the uptake of IP-disulfo-BDP by SAS cells reached 50 ngB / 10 at 0.5 h. 6 The number of cells exceeded 20 ng B / 10. 6 Cells showed a slow upward trend in uptake from 0.5 to 4 hours with prolonged co-incubation time, and the upward trend slowed further from 4 to 12 hours, reaching the maximum uptake value (73 ng B / 10) at 12 hours. 6 The uptake of IP-BDP-BSH by SAS cells increased slowly over 0.5–4 h, surged sharply between 4–8 h, and then slowly increased again to a maximum of 144 ng B / 10⁻¹⁰ between 8–12 h. 6 Cells. The uptake of IP-disulfo-BDP and IP-BDP-BSH by SAS cells showed a time-dependent increase, consistent with the uptake observed under fluorescence microscopy. Furthermore, the uptake of IP-disulfo-BDP and IP-BDP-BSH by SAS cells was significantly superior to that of BSH at all time points.

[0142] Evaluation of boron distribution in tumor-bearing mice using IP-disulfo-BDP synthesized in Example 2:
[0143] In this embodiment, the BPA-fructose complex (BPA-F, with a molar ratio of BPA to fructose of 1:1.125) was purchased from Zhongbo (Xiamen) Medical.
[0144] Fifty-two 6-7 week old male C57BL / 6 black mice, weighing 20-22 g, were selected and acclimatized for one week. MOC-1 subcutaneous tumors were implanted in the nape of the neck. Seven days after implantation, a spherical protrusion approximately 0.3 cm in diameter appeared on the skin at the implantation site, indicating successful establishment of the MOC-1 subcutaneous tumor model in mice. The tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into 13 groups (n = 4). One group received a tail vein injection of PBS as a blank control group, six groups received a tail vein injection of IP-disulfo-BDP (600 mg / kg, 0.75 mmol / kg), and the remaining six groups received a tail vein injection of BPA-F (309 mg / kg, containing 0.75 mmol / kg BPA). Mice in each group were euthanized by cervical dislocation at the corresponding time after drug administration. Blood was collected by removing the eyeballs. The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, brain, tumors, blood, adjacent muscle and skin tissues were dissected and removed. A total of 10 organs or tissues were collected from each mouse. The liver was placed in a 50 mL centrifuge tube, and the other organs or tissues were placed in 15 mL centrifuge tubes. All organs or tissues were weighed. 5 mL of concentrated nitric acid was added to each centrifuge tube containing liver and blood, and 2 mL of concentrated nitric acid was added to each centrifuge tube containing heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys, brain, tumors, adjacent muscle and skin. After digestion at 90°C for 2.5 h, the liquid in the centrifuge tube containing liver and blood was diluted to 10 mL with purified water, and the liquid in the centrifuge tube containing other organs or tissues was diluted to 5 mL with purified water. All test sample liquids in the centrifuge tubes were filtered through a 0.22 μm pore size polyethersulfone filter membrane into EP tubes. The boron content of each organ was determined using ICP-OES. The boron content of each organ of the mouse after drug administration was calculated according to the following formula: Organ boron content (μg B / g) = (Bron content of organs in the drug administration group - Boron content of organs in the blank group) / Organ mass.
[0145] As shown in Figure 16, within 0.5–2 h, IP-disulfo-BDP was mainly distributed in the liver, lungs, kidneys, tumors, and blood. The liver and kidneys, as important metabolic organs, distributed large quantities of the compound through their metabolism. Boron concentrations in the lungs and blood continuously decreased during this period, while the boron concentration in the tumor remained between 6 and 8 ppm, reaching a maximum of 7.2 ± 0.5 ppm at 2 h, demonstrating a certain accumulation and retention capacity in the tumor. After 2 h, IP-disulfo-BDP was continuously metabolized, and the boron concentrations in various organs and tissues continued to decrease. After binding to albumin, IP-disulfo-BDP can endow it with a certain tumor accumulation and retention capacity, exhibiting slow metabolism within tumors and rapid metabolism in normal organs and tissues. At the same dosage, BPA-F was mainly distributed in the kidneys and tumors. The boron concentration in the tumor reached a maximum of 9.0 ± 2.4 ppm at 2 h, while the boron concentration in other organs or tissues hardly exceeded 5 ppm. After 2 h, the boron in the tumor and other organs and tissues was rapidly cleared.
[0146] A significant difference analysis was performed on the boron concentrations of IP-disulfo-BDP and BPA-F in tumors, and the results are shown in Figure 17. The results showed no significant difference between IP-disulfo-BDP and BPA-F within the tumor over a period of 0.5–12 h. The T / N and T / B values were obtained by comparing the boron concentrations in the tumor with those in muscle and blood. The positive control drug BPA-F showed T / N and T / B values exceeding 3 at 2 h, as did IP-disulfo-BDP, meeting the requirements for boron carriers in BNCT. The fact that both drugs achieved similar tumor boron concentrations and T / N and T / B values at the same dosage indicates that IP-disulfo-BDP has similar effects to BPA-F, but with a broader spectrum.

[0148] Evaluation of boron distribution in tumor-bearing mice using IP-BDP-BSH synthesized in Example 3:
[0149] In this embodiment, BSH (disodium mercaptododecylene) was purchased from Katchem, Czech Republic.
[0150] Fifty-two 6-7 week old male C57BL / 6 black mice, weighing 20-22 g, were selected and acclimatized for one week. A mouse MOC-1 subcutaneous tumor model was constructed using the same method as in Example 9. The tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into 13 groups (n = 4). One group received a tail vein injection of PBS as a blank control group, six groups received a tail vein injection of IP-BDP-BSH (141 mg / kg, with a boron dose of 20 mg B / kg), and the remaining six groups received a tail vein injection of BSH (34 mg / kg, with a boron dose of 20 mg B / kg). Mouse organs and tissues were treated using the same method as in Example 9, and the boron content of each organ and tissue was determined using ICP-OES.
[0151] As shown in Figure 18, IP-BDP-BSH was widely distributed in the liver, lungs, kidneys, and blood at 0.5 h. The boron concentration in these organs showed a strict decreasing trend over time, especially in the liver and blood, indicating that IP-BDP-BSH was rapidly cleared from these organs. The boron concentration within the tumor remained relatively stable at around 10 ppm from 0.5 to 2 h, reaching a maximum of 13.1 ± 1.6 ppm at 1 h, indicating that IP-BDP-BSH could stably persist within the tumor for approximately 2 h, demonstrating a certain ability to accumulate and remain in the tumor. At the same dosage, the boron distribution trend of BSH in various organs and tissues was similar to that of IP-BDP-BSH. At 0.5 h, it was mainly distributed in the liver, lungs, kidneys, and blood, with less distribution in other organs and tissues. The boron concentration in each organ and tissue showed a strict decreasing trend over time. When IP-BDP-BSH binds to albumin, it can prolong the accumulation of albumin in tumors and slow down intratumoral metabolism, while metabolism in normal organs and tissues remains rapid. Conjugating IP-BDP to BSH can improve the tumor targeting, accumulation, and retention capabilities of BSH to some extent.
[0152] A significant difference analysis of boron concentrations in tumors using IP-BDP-BSH and BSH was performed, and the results are shown in Figure 19. The results showed significant differences in boron concentrations between IP-BDP-BSH and BSH in tumors from 0.5 to 4 hours. The T / N and T / B values were obtained by comparing the boron concentration in the tumor with those in muscle and blood. The T / N value of the positive control drug BSH remained above 3 from 0.5 to 1 hour, then continuously decreased, while the T / B value showed a continuous upward trend but never exceeded 3. The T / N and T / B values of IP-BDP-BSH both exceeded 3 at 2 hours, meeting the requirements for boron carriers in BNCT, while the T / N and T / B values of BSH did not simultaneously exceed 3 at any time point. This indicates that conjugating IP-BDP with BSH can endow BSH with certain tumor targeting and accumulation, thus meeting the requirements for BNCT irradiation.

[0154] The in vivo safety of IP-disulfo-BDP and IP-BDP-BSH synthesized in Examples 2 and 3 was evaluated in mice:
[0155] The reagent kit in this embodiment was purchased from Nanjing Jiancheng Biotechnology Research Institute Co., Ltd.
[0156] Fifteen male C57BL / 6 mice, aged 6–7 weeks and weighing 20–22 g, were selected and randomly divided into three groups (n = 5) after one week of acclimatization. The first group received a tail vein injection of 200 μL PBS as a blank control; the second group received a tail vein injection of 600 mg / kg IP-disulfo-BDP; and the third group received a tail vein injection of 141 mg / kg IP-BDP-BSH. Fourteen days after administration, the mice were anesthetized with ether, and blood was collected by enucleation. The blood was incubated at 4°C for 12 h, then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C, and the supernatant serum was separated. Serum samples were collected, and serum ALT and AST levels were measured according to the instructions for the Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) test kits to assess liver function after drug administration. Serum samples were also collected, and serum BUN and Cr levels were measured according to the instructions for the Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine (Cr) test kits to assess kidney function after drug administration. As shown in Figure 20, there were no significant differences in ALT, AST, BUN, and Cr levels in the serum of mice in the IP-disulfo-BDP group, IP-BDP-BSH group, and control group. The dosage administered in this experiment did not cause an increase in serum transaminase, urea nitrogen, creatinine, or other indicators in mice, indicating that IP-disulfo-BDP and IP-BDP-BSH had no significant toxic effects on the liver and kidneys of mice within 14 days after administration, and had certain tissue compatibility and safety.
[0157] This invention designs and synthesizes a class of albumin-bound BODIPY derivatives. These compounds use BODIPY as the core, introducing the albumin-free non-covalent binder 4-(p-iodophenyl)butyric acid (IP) into the molecule. BSH can be further introduced to provide additional boron sources. Utilizing the EPR effect of albumin, tumor-targeted delivery to boron-containing modules (BODIPY or BSH) can be achieved. This strategy does not rely on specific amino acid transporters and exhibits broad-spectrum targeting. Simultaneously, the imaging capabilities of BODIPY enable both therapeutic and diagnostic functions for BNCT (Brain-Neuro-Traumatic Cognitive Therapy), providing a new molecular tool for the integrated diagnosis and treatment of BNCT.
[0158] Theranostics is a crucial direction in precision medicine, its core concept being the integration of diagnostic and therapeutic functions onto a single molecular platform to achieve "what is seen is what is treated." In the field of boron non-invasive tumor therapy (BNCT), the development of theranostics-based boron carriers has significant clinical implications: firstly, real-time monitoring of boron drug distribution in vivo via fluorescence or radionuclide imaging allows for optimization of neutron irradiation timing, improving treatment efficacy; secondly, it enables the assessment of tumor heterogeneity in boron drug uptake, screening for suitable BNCT patients and achieving personalized treatment.
[0159] Fluoroboropyrrole (BODIPY) fluorescent dyes possess excellent photophysical properties, such as high molar extinction coefficient, high fluorescence quantum yield, good photostability, and easily modifiable chemical structures. The application of BODIPY in BNCT will... 10 B, introduced into the BODIPY structure, not only achieves... 10 The delivery of B can also monitor the distribution of boron in tumor tissue in real time, providing a visualization tool for the precise implementation of BNCT; and realize the targeted delivery of BODIPY-type boron carriers using albumin.
