Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and specifically relates to a class of materials containing stimulus-responsive linkers, heat shock protein inhibitors and high photothermal conversion efficiency, a pharmaceutical composition for mild photothermal therapy of tumors, and its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] In the 21st century, even in developed countries, cancer, caused by environmental and other factors, remains a major health problem facing humanity. To date, in vivo tumor treatments, such as in vivo radiation, chemotherapy, biotherapy, and targeted therapy, have been widely explored. However, these treatments are subject to high surgical risks, significant postoperative adverse reactions, and the development of drug resistance to these drugs, significantly limiting their application. Selecting a safe and effective treatment approach is crucial. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising tumor treatment technology based on the principle that photothermal materials absorb near-infrared (NIR) light and convert it into heat to treat tumors. NIR light, with wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to 1300 nm, has a penetration depth of up to 10–15 mm and can penetrate tissue well with little to no damage. It offers advantages such as minimal invasiveness, low side effects, specific targeting of tumor cells, and a lack of significant drug resistance.

[0003] Although photothermal therapy (PTT) has been recognized as a leading therapeutic strategy in both clinical and preclinical settings, it still faces several pressing challenges. Excessively high temperatures can increase cellular levels of heat shock proteins, leading to heat resistance in tumor cells and potentially significantly reducing PTT's efficacy. Furthermore, uncontrolled heat diffusion can pose a threat to surrounding healthy tissue. In certain tumor treatments (particularly in the brain), damage to surrounding normal tissue can lead to loss of critical bodily functions or even death. The difficulty in preventing heat diffusion can also trigger adverse inflammation. High-temperature thermal ablation can also produce several adverse biological effects. Firstly, because PTT operates above 50°C, it primarily forces cell death through necrosis, leading to the release of cell debris and intracellular biomolecules. This can cause severe local inflammation, further damage surrounding normal tissue, and increase the risk of tumor metastasis. Secondly, such excessively high temperatures can impair the immune responses of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) that stimulate anti-tumor immunity, potentially impairing the immune system's ability to conquer cancer. To overcome these problems, low-temperature PTT has been proposed. Most mild PPTs are performed at temperatures below 48°C. It eliminates bacteria or tumors without causing much damage to normal tissues and promotes wound healing at low temperatures. A large number of studies have shown that low-temperature PTT can achieve unique therapeutic effects, enabling it to be used in biomedicine.

[0004] Compared to normal tissues and organs, the tumor microenvironment exhibits unique characteristics: tumors are rich in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), glutathione (GSH), acidic conditions (low pH), and lack oxygen. Stimuli-responsive linkers were selected as the linkers for the heat shock protein inhibitor APO and photosensitizer, which react with hydrogen peroxide and glutathione overexpressed in tumors, achieving on-demand release of APO and photosensitizer in tumor cells.

[0005] In view of the above advantages, a class of compounds containing stimulus-responsive linkers, heat shock protein inhibitors and photosensitizers were constructed. They have a high photosensitizer loading rate and can accurately attack tumor tissue without damaging surrounding normal tissues. By inhibiting overexpressed Hsp90, the heat resistance of tumor cells is reduced, and they can exhibit good mild photothermal therapy (MT-PTT) effects, reducing the thermal damage of high temperature to normal tissues around the tumor, greatly improving the tumor treatment effect. Summary of the Invention

[0175] Example 3 Preparation method of micro-nano structure

[0176] Taking the self-assembled micro-nanostructure of compound I-1 as an example, I-1 was dissolved in DMSO (or an organic solvent such as ethanol) to prepare a 2mM storage solution. A small amount of the storage solution was added to 2mL of deionized water to prepare nanoparticles. 10μL was added dropwise to a copper grid and observed and photographed under a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The micro-nanostructure with the morphology of vesicles was clearly observed. Figure 4 That is the transmission electron microscopy result, Figure 5 The particle size distribution of the DLS was found to be about 60-140 nm in size.

[0177] Experimental Example 1 In vitro photothermal effect and photothermal stability of compound Ⅰ-1

[0178] Take 3 mL of each of the 4 groups of samples and add them to the cuvette, then seal it.

[0179] Sample No. 1 was 3 mL of deionized water;

[0180] Sample No. 2 is 10 μM Ⅰ-1, and the specific preparation method is to add 15 μL Ⅰ-1 stock solution (2 mM, dissolved in DMSO) to 3 mL of deionized water;

[0181] Sample No. 3 is 20 μM Ⅰ-1, and the specific preparation method is to add 30 μL Ⅰ-1 stock solution (2 mM, dissolved in DMSO) to 3 mL of deionized water;

[0182] Sample No. 4 is 25 μM Ⅰ-1, and the specific preparation method is 3 mL deionized water plus 45 μL Ⅰ-1 stock solution (2 mM, dissolved in DMSO).

[0183] Irradiate each sample with 808nm laser for 5 minutes, and record the temperature data every 10 seconds with a thermal imager. Plot the temperature corresponding to the time in Origin. Figure 6 The temperature of sample No. 1 remained almost unchanged within 5 minutes, rising only 0.5°C; the temperature of sample No. 2 rose from room temperature 24°C to 38°C, a temperature increase of 14°C; the temperature of sample No. 3 rose from room temperature 22.3°C to 45.9°C, a temperature increase of 23.6°C; the temperature of sample No. 4 rose from room temperature 22.5°C to 50.1°C, a temperature increase of 27.6°C.

[0184] This indicates that compound I-1 has an excellent photothermal effect. At the same time, we calculated the photothermal conversion efficiency of compound I-1 and found that its photothermal conversion efficiency is 41.7%, which also indicates that compound I-1 has an extremely excellent photothermal effect.

[0185] Experimental Example 2 Comparison of in vitro photothermal effect and photothermal stability of compound I-1 before and after H2O2 and GSH response

[0186] The working concentrations of the compounds after the response of H2O2 and GSH were prepared at the same concentrations, and sample No. 3 was selected to test the photothermal stability experiment under the same conditions. Figure 7 As shown, the two samples were irradiated with an 808nm laser for 10 minutes, then heated from room temperature and allowed to cool naturally to room temperature. They were then irradiated with an 808nm laser for 10 minutes, followed by a natural cooling cycle, and repeated five times. The results showed that the compound reacting with H2O2 and GSH exhibited better photothermal effects, superior photothermal conversion efficiency, and better photothermal stability than the original compound.

[0187] This demonstrates that Compound I-1 not only exhibits excellent photothermal effects, but also exhibits enhanced photothermal effects, superior photothermal conversion efficiency, and improved photothermal stability compared to the original compound after responsiveness to H₂O₂ and GSH, demonstrating the potential application of stimuli-responsiveness. Other compounds of the present invention exhibit similar properties.

[0188] Experimental Example 3 Cell Imaging Experiment

[0189] The nuclear dye Hoechst33342 (100 nM), lysosomal dye Lyso-Green (75 nM) and I-1 (8 μM) were added to the cell culture medium for 30 minutes of cell staining. After staining, the cells were rinsed twice with PBS and observed and photographed under a confocal fluorescence microscope. Figure 8 As shown, it shows that compound I-1 can be effectively taken up by cells.

[0190] Experimental Example 4: Intracellular Photothermal Effect Detection Experiment

[0191] HeLa cells were cultured in 96-well plates, with 10 cells per well. 4 After 24 hours, different concentrations of I-1 (0.1 μM to 100 μM) were added to the cells. After the plates were placed in an incubator for 24 hours, the cells were stained with the live cell dye Calcein-AM and the dead cell dye EthD-I for 20 minutes. Subsequent observation under a fluorescence microscope revealed that almost all cells were alive, demonstrating that compound I-1 itself has minimal toxicity.

[0192] like Figure 9 As shown, the cells in the cell well plate for phototoxicity detection were irradiated with an 808nm laser for 6 minutes and observed and photographed under a fluorescence microscope. It was found that when the concentration of Ⅰ-1 was greater than 15μM, 100% of the cells were dead, proving that compound Ⅰ-1 had a strong photothermal killing ability on cancer cells under laser irradiation and had an excellent photothermal effect.

[0193] Combining the results of the laser irradiation group and the dark toxicity group shows that the compound itself has minimal toxicity, but its photothermal effect under mild conditions has a significant killing effect on tumor cells, demonstrating excellent anti-tumor efficacy. Other compounds of the present invention also have similar photothermal therapeutic effects under mild conditions.

[0194] Experimental Example 5 Photoacoustic Imaging Test in Mice

[0195] First, a mouse tumor model was constructed. 10 7 HeLa cells, allowing tumors to grow to a volume of 60 mm 3 200 μL of Ⅰ-1 (200 μg) was injected into mice via the tail vein. The three-dimensional photoacoustic tomography system was used to monitor the mice at different times. Figure 10 As shown in Figure 2, the fluorescence of the mouse tumor site gradually increased over time within 2-8 hours after injection. Figure 11 As shown in the histogram, photoacoustic signals were consistently present at the tumor site over time, up to 24 hours. This example demonstrates the excellent tumor targeting properties of Compound I-1 and its excellent photoacoustic signal. Furthermore, the nude mice experienced no seizures or convulsions within 24 hours, demonstrating the near-total toxicity and high safety of Compound I-1.

[0196] Experimental Example 6: Photothermal Imaging Experiment in Photothermal Therapy in Mice

[0197] The experimental group of mice were injected with 200 μL of Ⅰ-1 (200 μg) through the tail vein. The tumor site of the mice was irradiated with 808 nm laser for 10 minutes. At the same time, the photothermal imager was used to continuously take pictures. The low-power laser was used to irradiate the tumor site to keep the temperature below 45°C. Under the irradiation of the laser, the tumor site was heated to 43°C. Figure 12 It can be seen that the temperature of the tissue around the tumor did not increase, indicating that the use of Ⅰ-1 for mild photothermal therapy can avoid the damage to surrounding tissues caused by high temperature, and is safer than traditional photothermal therapy.

[0198] Experimental Example 7: Photothermal therapy experiment in mice

[0199] Nude mice were divided into five groups. Group 1 received saline injection without laser irradiation; Group 2 received saline injection and laser irradiation for 10 minutes; Group 3 received 200 μL of Ⅰ-1 (200 μg) without laser irradiation; Group 4 received 200 μL of Ⅰ-1 (200 μg) via the tail vein and irradiated the tumor site with an 808 nm laser for 10 minutes. Group 5 received APO and photosensitizer coated with F127 and laser irradiated. Tumor volume in each group was measured daily with a vernier caliper for 22 days.

[0200] like Figure 13 , Group 4 nude mice after photothermal treatment, the tumor volume before photothermal treatment was 40mm 3 After photothermal treatment, the tumor ruptured slightly on the second day. As time went by, no obvious tumor growth was observed. The ruptured part of the tumor began to heal. On the 18th day, the ruptured part was completely healed with a small scar. Figure 14 The tumors of mice in the experimental group (Group 4) were eliminated after laser irradiation, while the tumor volumes of mice in the control group (Groups 1, 2, 3, and 5) continued to increase. Figure 15 There was no abnormal change in the body weight of mice in both the experimental and control groups, and no obvious side effects of Ⅰ-1 were observed. Figure 17 Twenty-two days after the experiment, mice in the experimental group were dissected, and the hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys were sectioned and stained with H&E. No significant damage was observed in major tissues and organs. This demonstrates that I-1 possesses excellent, gentle photothermal therapeutic capabilities, does not damage internal organs, has minimal side effects, and is relatively safe and reliable.

[0201] These experiments demonstrate that compound I-1 exhibits excellent photothermal tumor-killing efficacy under mild conditions under 808nm laser irradiation, with high safety, and has broad application prospects in clinical photothermal therapy for cancer. Other compounds of the present invention have also been shown to exhibit similar photothermal therapeutic effects.

[0202] Test Example 8 Safety test of compound Ⅰ-1 in mice

[0203] Ten female Kunming mice were selected, 5 of which were injected with 200 μL of Ⅰ-1 (200 μg) through the tail vein, and 5 were injected with normal saline. After 24 hours, blood samples were collected from the mice for blood routine and liver function tests. Figure 16 As shown, routine blood tests, including mean corpuscular hemoglobin, red blood cell volume distribution width, hematocrit, and mean platelet volume, were all within normal ranges. Liver function tests, including albumin, transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, and blood glucose, were also within normal ranges. These results demonstrate that Compound I-1 has a high safety profile, does not cause liver damage in the short term, and is relatively safe and reliable.
