Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of organic chemistry, and in particular to a functionalized diblock copolymer and a preparation method and uses thereof, which mainly include tumor imaging probe reagents and tumor therapeutic drug preparations. Background Art
[0002] Malignant tumors (cancer) have become one of the main threats to human life and are increasing year by year.
[0003] At present, cancer treatment includes surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and other treatment methods. Surgical resection is the most effective means of treating early solid tumors. Surgeons usually rely on preoperative imaging diagnosis, intraoperative clinical experience (including visual discrimination and touch sensation, etc.), and other clinical auxiliary means to judge the tumor boundary and perform resection of the lesion during the surgical operation. However, since tumors are basically heterogeneously distributed tissues and different types of tumors have different boundary characteristics, it is difficult to accurately judge the tumor boundary during surgery. Therefore, excessive surgical resection may seriously affect the patient's postoperative quality of life (for example, total mastectomy for breast cancer; failure to retain healthy parathyroid glands during thyroid cancer surgery; anal retention problems caused by low rectal cancer surgery, etc.), and insufficient resection is prone to recurrence (for example, high recurrence rate caused by incomplete resection of non-invasive bladder cancer transurethral resection). Therefore, accurately judging the boundary of the tumor lesion during surgery has become a key factor for the success of surgery.
[0004] During the tumor resection operation, surgeons usually need to decide whether to perform lymph node dissection and remove the cancerous tissue that may metastasize based on the preoperative imaging diagnosis and the patient's pathological stage. Usually, the doctor will choose to remove the patient's tissue, and during the operation (the patient is still under anesthesia), send the specimen to the pathology department for sampling, and after a rapid frozen pathological diagnosis, the results will be fed back to the surgeon so that he can decide the scope and extent of the relevant tissue removal. Generally speaking, the entire rapid frozen pathological examination process takes about 45 minutes to several hours. During this period, the medical team and medical resources in the operating room are all on standby, and the patient's waiting in the operating room also increases the risk of infection and prolonged anesthesia time. Therefore, in addition to the judgment of the tumor boundary, clinically, a faster and more accurate pathological judgment method for tumor spread tissue during the operation is also needed to shorten the operation time, accurately remove the cancer spread tissue, reduce late recurrence or spread, and prolong the patient's postoperative survival.
[0005] In summary, intraoperative imaging technology for solid tumors and cancer metastasis tissues has great clinical significance. However, intraoperative specific imaging of cancer tissues is still a big challenge. The main difficulties and corresponding current clinical development strategies are as follows:
[0006] 1) The hardware should meet the requirements for use in an operating room.
[0007] Currently, widely used imaging technologies in clinical practice, such as X-ray scanning, CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), ultrasound, and PET-CT (positron emission computed tomography) are mainly used for preoperative tumor imaging diagnosis. Due to many reasons such as hardware requirements (such as volume) and application requirements (such as electromagnetic fields, etc.), these imaging technologies are limited to real-time imaging diagnosis on the operating table and during surgery. In the prior art, intraoperative ultrasound imaging technology is limited in its application in open tumor surgery because it requires contact for imaging. Moreover, its imaging technology itself is based on tissue morphology, and both false negatives and false positives are high. In brain tumor surgery, MRI preoperative scanning and construction of surgical coordinate information are also used intraoperatively in clinical practice. However, this technology may affect the navigation quality of the surgery due to deformation or displacement of the tissue from image acquisition to surgery.
[0008] Compared with the above-mentioned imaging technologies, technologies based on fluorescence imaging have the advantage of better real-time surgical applications. First, the near-infrared light source commonly used in fluorescence imaging technology has a stronger penetration ability in tissues than light sources such as visible light and ultraviolet light, and is less affected by the main absorption chromophores inside the tissue, such as hemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin, and water. It can penetrate about 1 cm of tissue and has very important application value in tissue optical detection, especially in superficial tissues. Secondly, the hardware implementation of fluorescence imaging can be relatively flexible. It can be designed as a movable white light and fluorescence operating table imaging system, or it can be designed as a small sterile probe with an external display screen, which can realize white light and fluorescence endoscopic imaging systems for minimally invasive surgery in the body. Both hardware designs have been approved by the FDA and EMA (e.g., SPYImaging system; Endoscopic fluorescence imaging system; da Vinci surgical robot system) has been successfully applied in clinical surgery. Using the fluorescence microscope system, after intravenous injection of indocyanine green (ICG) during surgery, within 20 minutes, angiography (neurosurgery, vascular surgery, ophthalmology, etc.) can be performed using the characteristics of ICG that can excite fluorescence under near-infrared light. Methylene blue is also an approved fluorescent imaging agent and is used in some surgical operations.
[0009] 2) The technology used should be specific for tumor tissue.
[0010] The main requirements for achieving tumor specificity are: first, the targeted tumor type must have some specific characteristics. Some of the most widely recognized characteristics are: specific surface receptors of cancer cells corresponding to specific tumors (such as folic acid, Her2 / Neu, EGFR, PSMA and other receptors); characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (specific metabolites, proteases; or the acidic characteristics of the cancer cell interior (pHi: 5.0-6.0) or the interstitial fluid between cells (pHe: 6.4-6.9), which originates from the lactic acid metabolites produced after the cancer cells quickly take up glucose). Secondly, the above-mentioned specific characteristics should be used as targets for precise positioning by the developed imaging technology to effectively achieve specific aggregation of imaging agents at the tumor site. The usual means of achieving aggregation at the tumor site are: using the specific receptors of cancer cells to achieve specific binding of imaging agents to them; using the acidity or other characteristics of the tumor microenvironment to retain and enrich imaging agents at the tumor site through chemical means; using the high permeability and retention effect (EPR) of tumor tissue to achieve selective local enrichment of some nanoparticles.
[0011] 3) The imaging agent used must be safe and can be degraded or cleared from the body within a short period of time after use. There should be little tissue residue and no adverse reactions. If a metabolic reaction occurs, the metabolites of the imaging agent should be harmless to the body.
[0012] The main clinical transformation of intraoperative imaging technology for solid tumors uses the following technical means:
[0013] 1) Folic acid-fluorescent imaging molecule conjugates: On Target Laboratories has currently started clinical trials for intraoperative imaging of lung cancer and ovarian cancer. Its advantage is that for the selected tumor type, the target selection strategy is clear (except for individual tissues, the expression level of folate receptors in normal tissues is very low, but it is overexpressed on the surface of some tumor cells). Its disadvantage is that the application range is relatively narrow (it can only be used for specific tumors with high expression of folate receptors), and from the perspective of its imaging principle and clinical data, the quality of tumor-specific imaging is somewhat defective (background contrast; the boundary between tumor and healthy tissue cannot be clearly imaged). The reason may be that the imaging molecules that normally circulate in the body (not bound to tumor receptors) can fluoresce under the irradiation of the excitation light source, causing background fluorescence, or false positive images of non-tumor sites ("off-target" phenomenon, for example, some healthy tissues such as kidneys also have different degrees of folate receptors), or due to the heterogeneity of tumors mentioned above, the folate expression level of tumor tissues may not be completely uniform, thus causing image quality defects. Judging from clinical data, background clearance is related to the dosage, and it basically takes 24 hours to 4 days to clear the background. The effect of tumor imaging (cancer / normal tissue ratio, TNR, is 2-3 times) is average.
[0014] 2) Antibody (mAB)-fluorescent imaging molecule conjugates: There are currently several clinical studies for intraoperative imaging navigation of brain gliomas (mAB targeting EGFR receptors, Cetuximab) and colorectal cancer, lung cancer, etc. (targeting CEA receptors). Compared with the design of folic acid-fluorescent imaging molecule conjugates, the antibody molecules used for targeting have good biocompatibility, a very long in vivo circulation cycle (3-7 days), and a clear target and binding mechanism for the selected tumor type. Its disadvantages are also obvious. The very long circulation time of antibody molecules will also cause high background fluorescence. There are also other problems, such as a relatively narrow application range (can only be used for tumors with high expression of specific receptors), false positive images of non-tumor sites (the selected target may exist in healthy tissues), and the heterogeneous characteristics of tumors mentioned above. From the clinical and animal research data, the effect of tumor imaging of this technology (cancer / normal tissue ratio, TNR, is 2-5 times) is acceptable, but the image is usually accompanied by strong background fluorescence.
[0015] 3) Peptide-fluorescent imaging molecule conjugates: In view of the characteristics of several tumor cells and tumor microenvironment mentioned above, peptides can be used to selectively target fluorescent imaging molecules to the tumor site. Currently, there are several designs in the direction of research and development and clinical transformation: R.Tsien and Avelas Biosciences, Inc. use a special U-shaped peptide combination design, in which one end of the peptide is positively charged under physiological conditions (the end of this peptide segment is linked to the fluorescent imaging molecule), and the other end of the peptide is negatively charged under physiological conditions. The two segments of the peptide are connected by a connector, which can be cut by the protease present in the tumor microenvironment. After the disconnection, the peptide with the fluorescent imaging molecule presents a positive charge, which can be attracted by the negative charge on the surface of the cancer cell and adsorbed on the surface. Later, it enters the cancer cell through the cell endocytosis mechanism, and the imaging agent molecules that enter the cancer cell can emit fluorescence under the irradiation of the excitation light source. It can be seen that this type of imaging agent needs to enter the body within a limited time (even after adding a long-circulating PEG molecule, the half-life is only more than 20 minutes), and the time window for completing this series of actions is not sufficient, resulting in poor imaging results (the cancer / normal tissue ratio is 2-3 times). Donald M. Engelman's team at Yale University proposed a different design, which conjugates fluorescent molecules with a polypeptide. The signal targeted by the polypeptide is the acidic characteristics of the tumor microenvironment. Under normal physiological conditions, the polypeptide is negatively charged and becomes neutral in an acidic environment. Under neutral conditions, the lipophilicity of the polypeptide increases, driving the polypeptide to deposit on the surface of cancer cells, transmembrane and other behaviors, and achieving specific enrichment of fluorescent molecules at the tumor site. From the results of in vivo imaging, this technology achieves tumor imaging quality (TNR is about 6), but the error range of the reported data is too large and the effect is poor. Lumicell's design is to connect the fluorescent imaging molecule and another molecule that can absorb fluorescence through a polypeptide. The selected polypeptide can be cut under the catalysis of some common proteases in the tumor microenvironment (such as Cathepsin K, L, S), so that the fluorescent molecule and the molecule that actively absorbs fluorescence are separated and then fluoresce in the presence of an excitation light source. Such a design can reduce the background fluorescence during the circulation process, because the entire imaging agent molecule does not fluoresce before reaching the tumor microenvironment. By connecting a PEG, the circulation time can be achieved to about 24 hours, and the quality of tumor imaging (TNR ratio is 3-5) is poor. In addition, another disadvantage of this technology is whether the selected polypeptide sequence can achieve highly specific tumor targeting.
[0016] 4) Nanoparticle-fluorescent molecule imaging agent: In the field of medical imaging, nanoparticles are widely used, and the main categories are liposome nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, and polymer nanoparticles. Definity(R) is a phospholipid liposome approved by Lantheus Medical (now BMS) in 2001, which is used to stabilize perfluoropropane (C3F8) bubbles and is used as an ultrasound imaging agent. There are many types of inorganic nanoparticles (silicon dioxide; iron oxide; quantum dots; carbon nanotubes, etc.). The difficulty in the clinical application of inorganic nanoparticles is usually safety, and it is usually difficult to achieve specific tumor fluorescence imaging by introducing fluorescent groups only through chemical modification of the surface of nanoparticles. U.Wiesner et al. successfully promoted several early clinical studies, using small-size (5-20nm) SiO2 nanoparticles so that the nanoparticles used can be cleared from the kidneys to improve safety, and the core of the nanoparticles is embedded with fluorescent molecules, and the surface of the nanoparticles introduces specific targeting groups, which can achieve specific tumor fluorescence imaging. The fluorescent molecules introduced by this method can overcome the possible defects of fluorescence quenching due to aggregation of conventional nanoparticle-fluorescent molecule conjugates, but the reported half-life is short (10-30 minutes), the tumor imaging effect is acceptable, and the TNR is 5-10 (the reported data has a large error range), but the liver absorption is very high (the tumor / liver ratio is about 2). The author believes that although small-sized nanoparticles (less than 20nm) can be cleared by the kidneys, their clinical risks (such as diffusion through the BBB to the brain, etc.) cannot be ruled out. The typical structure of polymer nanoparticles is the use of amphiphilic diblock polymers, such as PEG-PLGA, PEG-PEG-Glutamate, and PEG-Aspartate, which are several types of removable (PEG) / degradable (another block) polymers that are currently being carried out in clinical work. Based on the previous work of Langer et al. on pH-responsive polymer microspheres (the polymer main chain contains amino groups that can be protonated at around pH 6.5), Kim et al. introduced PEG blocks to construct pH-responsive amphiphilic diblock copolymers, which achieved the dissolution of nanoparticles in the weakly acidic environment of the tumor (the inner core of the nanoparticles ionizes in an acidic environment, generating charge repulsion that destroys the energy balance of the amphiphilic assembly).

[0128] In a specific embodiment of the present application, in formula III, m3 = 22 to 1136, n3 = 10 to 500, p3 = 1 to 50, q3 = 0, and r3 = 0. In the products (e.g., polymer particles) prepared by these polymers, the fluorescent molecules distributed in the hydrophobic core do not emit light under certain excitation conditions (e.g., when near-infrared is used as the excitation light source) due to the FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) effect. After administration to an individual, the drug can be enriched in a target site (e.g., a tumor site) through EPR (Enhanced Permeation and Retention) passive targeting (or other tissue uptake methods). Since the target site has a special pH environment (e.g., an acidic environment), the protonable group (i.e., the A3 group) can be protonated within this pH range, and the charge repulsion generated by the protonation and the increase in the solubility of the polymer drive the dispersion of the polymer particles. The FRET effect of the fluorescent group carried by the discrete single polymer chain segment is weakened or even completely eliminated, and the polymer molecules in a discrete state enriched in the target site can emit fluorescence under certain excitation conditions (e.g., when near-infrared is used as the excitation light source).
[0129] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the chemical structural formula of the functionalized diblock copolymer is shown as one of the following:

In the products (e.g., polymer particles) prepared by these polymers, the fluorescent molecules distributed in the hydrophobic core do not emit light under certain excitation conditions (e.g., when near-infrared is used as the excitation light source) due to the FRET effect. The addition of hydrophilic / hydrophobic groups (i.e., E3 groups) increases the stability of the polymer particles, enhances the FRET effect of the polymer particles (more complete fluorescence quenching), and changes the acidity sensitivity of the polymer particles. After administration to an individual, the target site (e.g., tumor site) can be enriched through EPR passive targeting (or other tissue uptake methods). Since the target site has a special pH environment (e.g., acidic environment), the protonable group (i.e., A3 group) can be protonated within this pH range. The charge repulsion generated by its protonation and the increase in the solubility of the polymer drive the dispersion of the polymer particles. The fluorescent groups carried by the discrete single polymer chain segments have a weakened or even completely eliminated FRET effect. The polymer molecules in the discrete state enriched in the target site can emit fluorescence under certain excitation conditions (e.g., when near infrared is used as the excitation light source). The experimental results show that compared with the polymer without the hydrophobic group E3, Example 6.1.5 introduces 20 -C9H 19 The polymer (IB015-038-01) of this embodiment achieved highly specific tumor fluorescent labeling (TNR=13) of tumors in tumor-bearing mice in the in vivo imaging experiment. Figure 8 and 9 Other experimental results show that after the introduction of the hydrophilic side chain -C2H4-OH (Example 11.2.5), the emission of the polymer connected with ICG undergoes a large blue shift (as shown in the attached Figure 5 The reason is that the hydroxyl groups of the hydrophilic side chains improve the relative hydrophilicity of the hydrophobic block and provide a hydrogen bond with the oxygen of the -C(=O)- of the ester bond on the polymer main chain, which makes the polymer more compact in the core. This compact aggregation state causes the change of the molecular state of ICG, which in turn causes the change of its emission wavelength. In the in vivo imaging experiment, the polymer of Example 11.1.5 (IB015-055-01, the number of -C2H4-OH modifications is 24) was used to achieve highly specific tumor fluorescent labeling (TNR=21) of tumors in tumor-bearing mice, as shown in the attached figure.

[0151] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the chemical structure of the functionalized diblock copolymer is as follows:
[0152]
[0153]

[0155] +r 3,B )=1~200.
[0156] In another preferred embodiment of the present application, m3=44-226, n3=50-200, p3=0.5-5, r3=10-40.
[0157] In a specific embodiment of the present application, in formula III, m3 = 22 to 1136, n3 = 10 to 500, p3 = 0.5 to 50, q3 = 1 to 500, and r3 = 0. In the products (e.g., polymer particles) prepared by these polymers, the fluorescent molecules distributed in the hydrophobic core do not emit light under certain excitation conditions (e.g., when near infrared is used as the excitation light source) due to the FRET effect, and the delivery molecule group (i.e., the D3 group) is connected to the main chain of the functionalized diblock polymer. After being administered to an individual, the drug can be enriched in the target site (e.g., tumor site) through EPR passive targeting (or other tissue uptake methods). Since the target site has a special pH environment (e.g., acidic environment), the protonable group (i.e., A3 group) can be protonated within this pH range. The charge repulsion generated by the protonation and the increase in the solubility of the polymer drive the dispersion of the polymer particles. The fluorescent groups carried by the discrete single polymer chain segments have a weakened or even completely eliminated FRET effect. The polymer molecules in the discrete state enriched in the target site can emit fluorescence under certain excitation conditions (e.g., when near-infrared is used as the excitation light source). In addition to the fluorescent molecular groups carried by the polymer particles, the delivery molecular groups connected to the side chains can continue to hydrolyze into corresponding molecules under the specific pH conditions of the target site after the polymer is disintegrated. These molecules can play a corresponding role in the target site. For example, the delivery molecule group can be a group corresponding to 5-ALA, which can provide 5-ALA molecules after hydrolysis. 5-ALA can be efficiently enriched in cancer cells with accelerated metabolism within a few hours, complete biosynthesis to form Protoporphyrin (after Protoporphyrin enters cancer cells, it stays / "traps" in cancer cells for a long time because its metabolism process is blocked). At this time, under the irradiation of near-infrared or 400nm excitation light, it can efficiently emit fluorescence. On the basis of the existing ICG fluorescent molecules (780nm excitation), dual wavelengths are separately excited for fluorescence, and the fluorescence image of the tumor site is enhanced or the boundary is confirmed or whether it is cancerous or not. In addition, 5-ALA is a proven precursor of photodynamic therapy drugs. In this embodiment, we creatively introduce and deliver 5-ALA, which not only enhances the effect of tumor-specific imaging, but also performs photodynamic therapy of the tumor site while implementing tumor imaging. In addition to the fluorescent molecular groups carried by the polymer particles, the water-insoluble anticancer drugs connected to the side chains form a water-soluble, safe and stable drug injection preparation. On the one hand, this drug preparation greatly increases the solubility of hydrophobic drugs in the blood and reduces their direct contact with the blood, thereby improving the stability of the drug in the body, reducing the toxic side effects of the drug in the body, and retaining the high anti-tumor activity of the drug itself.After the polymer dissolves, it can continue to hydrolyze into corresponding molecules under the specific pH conditions of the target site. These molecules can play a corresponding role at the target site. For example, the delivery molecule group can be a group corresponding to SN-38, which can provide SN-38 after hydrolysis, overcoming the shortcomings of low drug loading and strong side effects of traditional hydrophobic anti-tumor drug delivery systems, improving drug safety and achieving the effect of killing cancer cells. In addition, nucleic acid drugs can also be chemically connected or delivered by physical action on the side chain to form a nano-preparation of nucleic acid drugs, which can significantly improve the in vivo stability of nucleic acid drugs. After the polymer dissolves, it can continue to hydrolyze (corresponding to chemical connection) or release (corresponding to physical action delivery) into corresponding nucleic acid drug molecules under the specific pH conditions of the target site to exert drug efficacy at the lesion site.
[0158] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the chemical structure of the functionalized diblock copolymer is as follows:

[0162] Among them, m3=22~1136, preferably 44~226, n3=10~500, preferably 30~200, p3=0.5~5, q3=0~500,

[0164] In another preferred embodiment of the present application, m3=44~226, n3=50~200, p3=0.5~5, q3=50~200.
[0165] The functionalized diblock copolymer provided in the present application usually has a lower critical micelle concentration, thereby reducing the difficulty of preparing the polymer self-assembled particles, thereby ensuring that the obtained polymer particles have good solution stability and blood stability. For example, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the functionalized diblock copolymer can be <50μg / mL, <45μg / mL, <40μg / mL, <35μg / mL, <30μg / mL, <25μg / mL, <20μg / mL, <16μg / mL, <14μg / mL, <12μg / mL, <10μg / mL, ≤9μg / mL, ≤8μg / mL, ≤7μg / mL, ≤6μg / mL, ≤5μg / mL, ≤4μg / mL, or a smaller critical micelle concentration.
[0166] The second aspect of the present application provides a polymer particle, which is prepared by the functionalized diblock copolymer provided by the first aspect of the present invention. The above-mentioned functionalized diblock copolymer can be used to form polymer particles. The fluorescent molecules distributed in the hydrophobic core of the polymer particles do not emit light under certain excitation conditions (for example, when near infrared is used as an excitation light source) due to the FRET effect. After being administered to an individual, it can be enriched in the target site (for example, a tumor site) through EPR passive targeting (or other tissue uptake methods). Since the target site has a special pH environment (for example, an acidic environment), the protonatable group can be protonated within this pH range, and the charge repulsion and water solubility generated by its protonation become stronger, driving the discreteness of the polymer particles. The fluorescent groups carried on the discrete single polymer chain segments have a weakened FRET effect or even completely eliminated. The polymer molecules in a discrete state enriched in the target site can emit fluorescence under certain excitation conditions (for example, when near infrared is used as an excitation light source). For example, the pH environment can be 6.5-6.8, which can correspond to the interstitial fluid of tumor cells, and at least part of the polymer particles can reach the target site and be in the interstitial fluid of the cells; for another example, the pH environment can also be 4.5-6.5, which can correspond to the endosomes or lysosomes in tumor cells, and at least part of the polymer particles can interact with the cells (e.g., tumor cells) in the target site, and enter the interior of the cells through the endocytosis mechanism, thereby reaching the above-mentioned pH environment. The polymer particles prepared by the functionalized diblock copolymer provided in the present application can be fully diffused in the target site to achieve clear fluorescent edges, and the functionalized diblock copolymers and / or polymer particles can be degraded in vivo. After implementation in an individual, the polymer particles or nanoparticles that fail to be targeted to the tumor site through the EPR effect cycle can be engulfed and degraded by the body's immune system (mainly macrophages, etc.) (although PEG cannot be completely degraded in vivo, PEG molecules with a molecular weight lower than 40,000Da (e.g., Roche's long-acting interferon, The Chinese product name is Pegasys, which has been approved for safe clinical use for more than ten years. The PEG involved has a molecular weight of 40,000 Da, which can be effectively cleared by the kidneys after circulating in the body, while polylactide can be gradually metabolized through hydrolysis, and some of it can be cleared by the kidneys. The polymer particles targeted to the target site through the EPR effect are dissolved into free functionalized diblock copolymer molecules. Under the pH conditions of the target site and the presence of various enzymes, they can be degraded into PEG (which can be circulated and cleared by the kidneys) and degradable block (polylactide) polymers with gradually smaller molecular weights (subsequently gradually circulated and metabolized, and some polymers can be cleared by the kidneys). These degradation pathways can improve the safety of the drug system for imaging probe applications or drug delivery system applications that are implemented (dosing) in a single or multiple times. We provided the results of in vivo animal imaging observations, showing that the block copolymers used achieved clear fluorescent imaging of tumor tissues soon after injection into the living body. After about ten days of follow-up observations, we found that the fluorescence (it is inferred that the reason for the appearance of fluorescence is that some nanoparticles are captured by the reticuloendothelial system (RES), engulfed by macrophages and other cells, and then protonated and dissolved into separate polymer segments) presented during injection into other parts (liver, kidney, pancreas, etc.) almost completely disappeared, which strongly demonstrated the biodegradation and clearance performance we designed.
[0167] The polymer particles provided in the present application may be nanosized. For example, the particle size of the polymer particles may be 10-200 nm, 10-20 nm, 20-30 nm, 30-40 nm, 40-60 nm, 60-80 nm, 80-100 nm, 100-120 nm, 120-140 nm, 140-160 nm, 160-180 nm, or 180-200 nm.
[0168] In the polymer particles provided in the present application, the polymer particles can also be modified with targeting groups, and these targeting groups can generally be modified on the surface of the polymer particles. Suitable methods for modifying the targeting groups on polymer particles should be known to those skilled in the art. For example, generally speaking, the targeting group can be connected to the T end of the functionalized diblock copolymer molecular structure. These targeting groups can generally increase the targeting efficiency of nanoparticles to liver tumors based on the EPR effect (or other tissue uptake methods). These targeting groups can be various functional molecules including but not limited to (monoclonal) antibody fragments (e.g., Fab, etc.), small molecule targeting groups (e.g., folic acid, carbohydrate compounds), polypeptide molecules (e.g., cRGD, GL2P), nucleic acid aptamers (aptamers), etc., and these functional factors can have targeting functions (e.g., functions targeted to tumor tissues). In a specific embodiment of the present application, the targeting group is selected from -GalNac (N-acetylgalactosamine).
[0169] The third aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing polymer particles provided in the second aspect of the present application. Based on the knowledge of the chemical structure of the functionalized diblock copolymer, a suitable method for forming polymer particles should be known to those skilled in the art, for example, it may include: dispersing an organic solvent including the above-mentioned functionalized diblock copolymer in water, self-assembling to provide the polymer particles; or reversing this process, dispersing water in the organic solvent of the above-mentioned functionalized diblock copolymer. During the above-mentioned dispersion process, appropriate operations can be performed to fully mix the system, for example, it can be performed under ultrasonic conditions. For another example, during the self-assembly process, it can usually be performed by removing the organic solvent from the reaction system, and the method for removing the organic solvent can specifically be a solvent volatilization method, an ultrafiltration method, etc. For another example, the CMC of a polymer is related to the ratio of the hydrophobic block to the hydrophilic block of the polymer. The higher the ratio of the hydrophobic block, the smaller its CMC. When E1, E2, and E3 are long-chain hydrophobic side chains, their content is inversely proportional to the size of the CMC; when E1, E2, and E3 are hydrophilic side chains, their content is proportional to the size of the CMC. For another example, the particle size of polymer particles can usually be adjusted by using an extrusion instrument or a microfluidic device (equipment such as a homogenizer and NanoAssemblr).
[0170] The fourth aspect of the present application provides the use of the functionalized diblock copolymer provided in the first aspect of the present application, or the polymer particles provided in the second aspect of the present application in the preparation of pharmaceutical preparations and / or reagents, so that the formed polymer nanoparticles are used as a drug delivery system, and the polymer particles can be used as a carrier to deliver drugs or imaging probe molecules. As described above, the product (e.g., polymer particles) prepared by the functionalized diblock copolymer provided in the present application has passive (enriched at the tumor site through the general EPR effect of nanoparticles) or active targeting (enriched at the tumor site through the targeting groups modified on the surface of the nanoparticles and the specific binding effect with the specific receptors on the tumor surface) function. After administration to an individual, since the target site has a special pH environment (e.g., an acidic environment), the protonable groups can be protonated within this pH range, and the charge repulsion and water solubility generated by the protonation become stronger, driving the discreteness of the polymer particles. The fluorescent groups carried by the discrete single polymer chain segments have a weakened or even completely eliminated FRET effect. The polymer molecules in a discrete state enriched at the target site can emit fluorescence under certain excitation conditions (e.g., when near-infrared light is used as the excitation light source), thereby achieving specific luminescence of the target site (e.g., the tumor site), and can thus be used as targeted imaging probes. In addition to the application of imaging probes, these polymer particles can be used to prepare targeting agents. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned polymer particles can be used to prepare a polymer particle-based drug delivery system to deliver various drug molecules.
[0171] In the pharmaceutical preparation or reagent provided by the present invention, polymer particles can usually be used as carriers to deliver drugs or imaging probe molecules. The functionalized diblock copolymer can be used as a single active ingredient or combined with other active components to jointly constitute an active ingredient for the above-mentioned purposes.
[0172] The fifth aspect of the present application provides a composition, comprising the functionalized diblock copolymer provided in the first aspect of the present application, or the polymer particles provided in the second aspect of the present application. As described above, the composition can be a targeting agent, and in a specific embodiment of the present application, the composition can be an imaging probe.
[0173] The composition provided in the present application may also include at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which generally refers to a carrier for administration, which itself does not induce the production of antibodies harmful to the individual receiving the composition, and has no excessive toxicity after administration. These carriers are well known to those skilled in the art, for example, relevant content about pharmaceutically acceptable carriers is disclosed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Pub. Co., NJ 1991). Specifically, the carrier can be a combination of one or more including but not limited to saline, buffer, glucose, water, glycerol, ethanol, adjuvants, etc.
[0174] In the composition provided by the present application, the functionalized diblock copolymer can be a single active ingredient, or it can be combined with other active ingredients and used in combination. The other active ingredients can be various other drugs and / or agents, which can usually act together with the above-mentioned functionalized diblock copolymer at the target site. The content of the active ingredient in the composition is usually a safe and effective amount, which should be adjustable for those skilled in the art. For example, the amount of the active ingredient applied usually depends on the weight of the subject, the type of application, the condition and severity of the disease.
[0175] The composition provided in the present application can be adapted to any form of administration, and can be parenteral administration, for example, can be pulmonary, nasal, rectal and / or intravenous injection, more specifically can be intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intraarticular, intraperitoneal, pulmonary, oral, sublingual, nasal, transdermal, vaginal, bladder perfusion, uterine perfusion, intestinal perfusion, local application after craniotomy, or parenteral administration. Those skilled in the art can select a suitable formulation form according to the administration mode, for example, the formulation form suitable for parenteral administration can include but is not limited to solution, suspension, reconstituted dry preparation or spray, etc., and for another example, the formulation form can be administered by inhalation in the form of an inhalant.
[0176] The sixth aspect of the present application provides a treatment or diagnosis method, comprising: administering to an individual an effective amount of the functionalized diblock copolymer provided in the first aspect of the present application, or the polymer particles provided in the second aspect of the present application, or the composition provided in the fifth aspect of the present application. The "effective amount" generally refers to an amount that can achieve the desired effect after an appropriate administration period, for example, imaging, treatment of diseases, etc. The above-mentioned function of pH response and degradation under corresponding pH conditions, further extended chemical modification of the functionalized diblock copolymer, can also bring about a delivery molecule with a coordinated effect, which is bonded to the polymer molecule through a degradable chemical bond, and can be matched with a unique terminal group (targeting group, a group that can improve systemic immunogenicity) to become a unique (block copolymer-transporter bond). In a specific embodiment of the present application, after use, better intraoperative tumor boundary identification, more precise removal of tumor lesions and metastatic tissues can be achieved, and during the implementation of intraoperative imaging, the local delivery of the transporter can be used to better kill cancer cells, reduce the recurrence rate, and improve the patient's postoperative survival rate.
[0177] The functionalized diblock copolymers or polymer particles provided in the present application can significantly improve the safety of tumor imaging probe agents and / or tumor drug preparations (tumor imaging probe agents are mostly used once; while tumor drug preparations are usually administered multiple times). For the diblock copolymers (Formula III compound PEG-PLA copolymers) provided by the present invention, PEG can be safely removed from the human body (Adegen (R), Oncaspar (R) and other therapeutic enzymes modified with PEG with a molecular weight of 5K for multi-site modification, and interferon, granulocyte colony stimulating factor, antibody Fab fragments and other biomacromolecules modified with PEG with a molecular weight of 12-40K have been clinically approved and have been safely used clinically for more than ten years), and the component polymer (PLGA) of the other block can be gradually degraded under physiological conditions (hydrolysis; enzymes).
[0178] The functionalized diblock copolymer or polymer particle provided in the present application can realize high-quality imaging of tumor imaging probe reagents specific to the site of solid tumors, and is sensitive to pH changes in the tumor site (a change in fluorescence signal ΔpH10–90% only requires about 0.2-0.3 pH units), with a high signal-to-noise ratio, clear boundaries, and a long half-life. In vivo imaging data show that once the imaging probe used is enriched into the tumor, it can have a very long intratumoral retention and duration (more than several days), giving tumor imaging surgery a longer observation window and solving the problem of real-time intraoperative navigation using fluorescence imaging technology.
[0179] The functionalized diblock copolymer or polymer particles provided in the present application can achieve in vivo labeling of cancerous lymph nodes after administration, and in vivo imaging and ex vivo dissection can show significantly fluorescent lymph nodes. This discovery is of great significance for the intraoperative determination of lymph node cancer metastasis during future tumor resection surgery, and can have a significant positive impact on the patient's surgical prognosis and survival. In addition to intravenous injection, the specific mode of administration can be local injection, such as local injection around the areola or subcutaneous tissue in breast cancer resection, local injection of intraperitoneal tissue in abdominal tumor surgery, and local subcutaneous or intramuscular injection in melanoma resection and treatment surgery.
[0180] The functionalized diblock copolymers, polymer particles, or compositions provided in the present application can be conveniently administered locally, for example, by bladder instillation, uterine instillation, intestinal instillation, local administration to the brain after craniotomy, etc. After the polymer particles used are in sufficient contact with the local tumor tissue, the polymer particles can be absorbed by the tumor tissue, thereby achieving imaging and treatment of the tumor tissue.
[0181] The functionalized diblock copolymer or polymer particle provided in the present application can introduce precursor molecules (for example, precursor molecules of photodynamic therapy drugs, more specifically 5-ALA precursor molecules, etc.) that can be cut off by the tumor microenvironment (for example, weak acid, microenvironment-specific protease, etc.) on the polymer based on the characteristics that nanoparticles can fully diffuse into the microenvironment of solid tumors. The side chain is cut off from the main chain of the polymer and restored to a clinically approved drug molecule (for example, 5-ALA, etc.), thereby achieving intraoperative image enhancement of the tumor site. While implementing imaging, the designed imaging probe reagent utilizes the light source for implementing intraoperative imaging, realizes photodynamic therapy of tumor tissue during tumor resection surgery, reduces the damage of other photodynamic therapies to normal tissues, kills uncut cancer tissues during tumor tissue resection, reduces postoperative recurrence, and prolongs survival time.
[0182] In summary, the functionalized diblock copolymer or polymer particles provided in the present application can be widely used in the fields of tumor imaging, tumor treatment, etc. It not only has good safety, but also realizes faster and adjustable (by changing the number of tubular energy groups) degradation and clearance of polymers under acidic conditions, but also has excellent specific high-quality imaging effects at the targeted site, with the characteristics of high signal-to-noise ratio, clear boundaries, long half-life, etc., which solves the problem of real-time intraoperative navigation of fluorescence imaging technology, and thus has good industrialization prospects.

[0347] Injection of imaging agent: Imaging agent No. IB015-050-01 (Example 10.1.5) was used at a dose of 2.5 mg / kg and injected into mice via the tail vein.
[0348] In vivo fluorescence imaging observation: After injection, at different time points, an in vivo fluorescence imaging system (PerkinElmer, model: IVIS spectrum CT, origin: the United States, using the ICG optical filter combination pre-set by the device, and each shot was taken with fixed shooting parameters) was used to monitor the tumor enrichment and in vivo distribution of the fluorescent probe in vivo. 24 hours after injection, strong fluorescence signal enrichment appeared in the tumor site. After in vivo fluorescence imaging, the mice were killed and the main organs were removed for fluorescence intensity quantification to characterize their tissue distribution. The results are as follows: Fig.10 shown.
[0349] 16.2 Determination of the ratio of tumor to healthy tissue (muscle) after administration of imaging agent (IB015-050-01, structure corresponding to Example 10.1.5)
[0350] After administration, mice were killed 24 hours later and samples were collected. Tumors, muscles, and major organs (heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys) were imaged for fluorescence imaging. After imaging, the same size of image information region (ROI, Region of Interst) was used to delineate the areas of different tissues and measure the total and average values of fluorescence intensity (typical imaging results and values can be found in Fig.10), and then the TNR (tumor / healthy tissue ratio) was calculated using “total light intensity of tumor ROI” / “total light intensity of muscle ROI”.
[0351] The results are as follows Fig.11 (Table) It can be seen that the fluorescence intensity of the tumor increased rapidly from 0 to 24 hours after administration, and the tumor / muscle (TNR) ratio can reach 12.2 times within 24 hours after administration. The numerical values in the chart can also be calculated that the lymph node / muscle ratio with stronger fluorescence intensity is about 12.1 times.
