Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanoprobe technology, and more specifically, to a near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-mode probe, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Medical imaging technology plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis of diseases. Molecular imaging technologies, including magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence imaging, can image biological processes in living animals and humans at the cellular and molecular level, which is of great significance for clinical disease diagnosis.

[0003] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images tissues by detecting signals generated by changes in external strong radio waves and magnetic fields acting on protons within the tissue. MRI offers numerous advantages, such as strong soft tissue resolution, flexibility in arbitrary tomographic analysis, no radiation damage, multi-parameter examination, and non-invasive, deep-penetration imaging. Therefore, MRI has become one of the most powerful techniques in clinical diagnosis today. In clinical MRI examinations, contrast-enhanced MRI with positive contrast agents is the most widely used. Positive contrast agents enhance signal intensity and improve the signal-to-noise ratio by shortening the longitudinal relaxation time (T1) of protons. Currently, clinically used positive contrast agents are mainly encapsulated in gadolinium (Gd), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe) based contrast agents, with gadolinium-based contrast agents, such as Magnevist, Gadovist, and Eovist, being the most widely used.

[0004] Fluorescence imaging achieves its purpose by detecting the fluorescence generated when a contrast agent absorbs photons. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages such as high sensitivity, high spatiotemporal resolution, non-invasiveness, and no radiation damage. In fluorescence imaging, near-infrared fluorescence (>800nm) imaging, compared to visible light fluorescence imaging (400-800nm), exhibits lower light scattering noise and autofluorescence background, enabling imaging of deep living tissues. Furthermore, the use of near-infrared contrast agents can increase the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity of the imaging, which is of great significance for near-infrared fluorescence imaging.

[0005] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIFI), as individual imaging modalities, each have their own advantages and inherent disadvantages. MRI can achieve multi-planar tomography and deep imaging, but suffers from low resolution; NIFI can achieve high-resolution imaging, but due to limitations in light penetration depth and tissue light scattering, the imaging depth is limited to below millimeters. Multimodal imaging, which allows for the complementary advantages of different imaging modalities, represents a development trend in new imaging technologies.

[0006] Fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-modal contrast agents can achieve fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-modal imaging, overcoming the shortcomings of low fluorescence imaging depth and low resolution of magnetic resonance imaging technology. They organically combine the high sensitivity and high resolution of the former with the large imaging depth of the latter, enabling more realistic, accurate and comprehensive diagnostic results. This is of great significance and has a very broad application prospect.

[0007] However, existing technologies for fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-mode imaging have limited contrast agents and probes. Publicly available quantum dots, rare earth elements, or gold nanoparticles used in this field exhibit significant toxicity and poor biocompatibility. Anthocyanin-based small-molecule organic dyes, as fluorescent dyes, have gained widespread attention in recent years due to their simple structure, easily tunable spectra, and good biocompatibility. Near-infrared fluorescent dyes emitting wavelengths in the 700–1200 nm range possess strong tissue penetration capabilities, and the weak autofluorescence of biological tissues results in low background interference and high analytical sensitivity. However, currently used small-molecule organic dyes for synthesizing fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-mode probes primarily absorb in the visible light band. Furthermore, gadolinium-based contrast agents currently used clinically, such as Magnevist, have a low longitudinal relaxation rate (r1), leading to poor magnetic resonance imaging results. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-mode probe, its preparation method, and its application, aiming to solve the problems of high toxicity, poor biocompatibility, absorption band in visible light, and poor magnetic resonance imaging effect of existing fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-mode imaging contrast agents and probes.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0028] The near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-mode probe of this invention, the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule, uses the IR824Et fragment as the fluorescent responsive group. This group generates a fluorescence signal after being excited by a 750-850nm laser.

Lasers at this wavelength exhibit strong tissue penetration, and autofluorescence and light scattering in blood and tissue are weak within this band, thus providing high sensitivity and a large imaging depth. Furthermore, this probe possesses excellent positive magnetic resonance response characteristics, with a longitudinal relaxation rate (r1) of 28 mM. - 1 s -1 It is the clinically used Magnevis (r1 = 3.97 mM) -1 s -1 7 times that of ).

[0039] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the embodiments of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] This invention provides a near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-mode probe, which is a structure in which a near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule is encapsulated by an amphiphilic molecule. The near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule is used to generate a near-infrared fluorescence signal under laser excitation. The amphiphilic molecule encapsulates the near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule and disperses it in its hydrophobic environment.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule is IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd, and its chemical structural formula is as follows:

[0042]

[0043] The amphiphilic molecule is Brij98, and its chemical structural formula is as follows:

[0044]

[0045] In the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd molecule, the PhDTA fragment is a polydentate ligand, capable of effectively chelating metal ions, and Gd ions can bind tightly to this fragment. The vacant coordination sites of the chelated Gd ions can bind to water molecules, altering the electron distribution of hydrogen atoms in the water molecule. This results in a difference in the NMR signal between the water molecule and the unchelated water molecule under the same magnetic field, achieving the purpose of NMR imaging.

[0046] However, the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd molecule has poor water solubility and cannot be directly applied to organisms. Therefore, it needs to be encapsulated with amphiphilic materials to prepare a water-soluble probe, thereby increasing its biocompatibility. Brij98 is preferred as the encapsulation material. Brij98 has a hydrophobic C18 alkyl chain and a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol structure. The hydrophobic alkyl chain can encapsulate the small molecule dye, while the hydrophilic end is exposed on the outside, increasing water solubility and thus improving biocompatibility.

[0047] The preferred mass ratio of the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule and the Brij98 amphiphilic molecule in the probe is 1:100.

[0048] The near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-mode probe of this invention, the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule, uses the IR824Et fragment as the fluorescent responsive group. This group generates a fluorescence signal after being excited by a 750-850nm laser. This wavelength is near-infrared light, which has stronger penetration ability and weaker tissue absorption and tissue light scattering effects. The PhDTA fragment can tightly complex with the magnetic resonance contrast agent Gd ions, reducing the release of Gd ions and thus reducing toxicity. The Brij98 amphiphilic molecule encapsulates the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule, dispersing it in the hydrophobic environment of the amphiphilic molecule, which can maintain the original optical properties. Moreover, the hydrophilic end of the amphiphilic molecule gives the probe good water solubility and biocompatibility.

[0054]

[0055] The preparation process of the IR824Et-PhDTA dye is as follows: starting from benzoindole 1, an imine is prepared by ethylation with iodoethane. 2; imine 2 was condensed with N-[(3-(anilinomethylene)-2-chloro-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)methylene]aniline hydrochloride 3 to prepare the near-infrared fluorescent molecule IR824Et; aminophenol 4 was deprotonated by sodium hydrogen and then reacted with IR824Et to prepare IR824Et-PhDTA precursor 5. IR824Et-PhDTA precursor 5 was deprotected by tert-butyl protecting group under the action of trifluoroacetic acid to obtain the final product IR824Et-PhDTA dye.

[0056] The preparation principle of the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule is as follows:

[0057]

[0058] The preparation process of the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule is as follows: after deprotonating the IR824Et-PhDTA dye under alkaline conditions, the pH of the system is adjusted, GdCl3 is added, and the mixture is stirred and mixed thoroughly at room temperature to obtain the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule solution.

[0059] The probe is prepared according to the following formula:

[0060]

[0061] The probe was prepared as follows: The solvent was removed from the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule solution by rotary evaporation; 5 mL of water was added, and the pH of the system was adjusted to approximately 12 using 0.1 M NaOH solution to obtain a suspension; the suspension was centrifuged and washed 5 times (5 mL each time) with water; the precipitate was collected, dissolved in 0.5 mL of acetonitrile, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter, and 150 μL of the filtrate was used to dissolve 150 mg of Brij98. After mixing, the solution was added dropwise to 2.85 mL of water to obtain the probe aqueous solution. The preferred mass ratio of the IR824Et-PhDTA-Gd near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-response molecule to the Brij98 amphiphilic molecule is 1:100.

[0062] The preparation method of the near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-mode probe of the present invention is simple to operate and low in cost. The near-infrared fluorescence / magnetic resonance dual-mode probe of the present invention can be applied in the fields of fluorescence and / or magnetic resonance imaging, and has broad application prospects.
