Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to a drug delivery system targeting the blood-brain barrier and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Glioma is one of the common malignant tumors, most of which are primary intracranial malignant tumors. It has the characteristics of high morbidity, high mortality, low cure rate and high recurrence rate, and is one of the current difficulties in tumor treatment. At present, the treatment of glioma is mainly surgery plus chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, due to the infiltrative and aggressive growth of glioma, the margin between the tumor and normal tissue is not clear. Therefore, the treatment effect of surgery and radiotherapy alone is not good, the prognosis is poor, and recurrence is very easy. Due to the existence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), most drugs have difficulty entering the brain to exert the best therapeutic effect. The current drug administration methods are mainly intravenous administration, arterial perfusion, opening the blood-brain barrier and intracranial administration. These drug administration methods have problems such as non-aggregated drug distribution, great damage to blood vessels, non-selective opening that increases the chance of other substances entering the brain, and inconvenient administration.

[0003] Therefore, brain-targeted nano-drug delivery systems have been a research hotspot for the treatment of gliomas in recent years. These systems primarily transport drugs into the brain through receptor- and carrier-mediated delivery. However, current brain-targeted nano-drug delivery systems remain suboptimal in terms of BBB crossing, while their biocompatibility, targeted release, and drug release efficiency also need to be improved, resulting in unsatisfactory overall delivery results.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a new nano-drug delivery system to cross the blood-brain barrier and thus improve the therapeutic effect on brain glioma has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a drug delivery system targeting the blood-brain barrier and its preparation method and application.

[0006] In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a drug delivery system targeting the blood-brain barrier, wherein the drug delivery system comprises a nanocarrier and a drug, wherein the nanocarrier comprises a polyamidoamine modified with poloxamer 188.

[0008] Polyamidoamine (PAMAM-NH2) dendrimers are a class of cationic polymer materials commonly used in drug delivery systems. Due to the presence of surface amino groups, PAMAs possess many unique advantages: The amino groups are highly reactive, readily chemically reactive, and readily accessible for ligand attachment; they also exhibit a proton sponge effect, allowing them to escape the endosomal-lysosomal system. PAMAM dendrimers possess hydrophobic cavities and surface functional groups. Since the amino groups on the surface of entire generations of PAMAs are positively charged, they exhibit certain cytotoxic and hemolytic toxicities. These surface functional groups can be modified to load drugs and other therapeutic substances. Pluronic F68 (Pluronic F68) is highly hydrophilic and exhibits a long-circulation effect similar to polyethylene glycol, which can increase the in vivo circulation time of drug delivery systems. Modification of PAMAs with Poloxamer 188 improves their biocompatibility and enhances drug delivery.

[0009] The present invention uses poloxamer 188 (Pluronic F68), which inherently reduces drug resistance, to modify PAMAM to neutralize its surface positive charge, increasing the carrier's biocompatibility and reducing its toxicity to humans. Specifically, Pluronic F68 can adsorb apolipoprotein A-Ⅰ (Apo A-Ⅰ) in plasma, which specifically binds to scavenger receptor class B type Ⅰ (SR-BI), abundant on brain capillary endothelial cells at the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Therefore, this design achieves BBB-crossing through receptor-mediated delivery.

[0048] Figure 1 This is the result of the in vitro BBB crossing experiment of nanocarriers. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below by way of specific embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments are merely to help understand the present invention and should not be regarded as specific limitations of the present invention.

[0050] In the following examples, unless otherwise specified, all reagents and consumables were purchased from conventional reagent manufacturers in the field; unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods and technical means used were conventional methods and means in the field.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] In this example, nanocarrier PAMAM-F68 (PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68), ie, Pluronic F68-modified PAMAM, was synthesized.

[0053] 1. Weigh 0.05 g of succinic anhydride (SA, 0.5 mmol) and 4.15 g of Pluronic F68 (0.5 mmol, purchased from Aladdin), dissolve them in 20 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran in a 100 mL round-bottom flask (molar ratio SA:F68 = 1:1.5), add 3 drops of triethylamine as a catalyst, and reflux with stirring at 65°C for 28 h.

[0054] 2. After the reaction is completed, cool and remove the solvent by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure, and add 20 mL of distilled water to fully dissolve the product.

[0055] 3. Divide the above solution into two portions and transfer them into two dialysis bags (MWCO=1000) using a disposable dropper. Purify and dialyze them with distilled water in a 1000 mL beaker for 48 h.

[0056] 4. After dialysis, sprinkle PEG10000 (polyethylene glycol, purchased from Macklin) on the dialysis bag to concentrate the liquid in the bag to about 10 mL. The concentrated liquid is then divided into vials (approximately 2 mL per vial), pre-frozen at -20°C for about 2 hours, then refrigerated at -80°C overnight, and lyophilized for 48 hours to obtain a white powder, which is Pluronic F68-SA.

[0057] 5. Weigh 1.8685 g of Pluronic F68-SA, 0.0012 g of NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide), and 0.0015 mL of triethylamine into a round-bottom flask, add 20 mL of anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and then dissolve 0.002 g of EDC (1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide) in 2 mL of anhydrous DMSO. Then add the dissolved EDC solution to a mixed solution of Pluronic F68-SA, NHS, and triethylamine (molar ratio Pluronic F68:NHS:EDC:triethylamine = 64:3:3:3, where the ratio of NHS to EDC can be appropriately increased). Stir the reaction in a water bath at 21°C for 250 min to activate the carboxyl groups.

[0058] 6. Take 307.5 μL of PAMAM-NH2 solution (methanol as solvent, containing 50 mg PAMAM-NH2, PAMAM-NH2-G4.0 purchased from Weihai Chenyuan Molecular New Materials Co., Ltd.) into a vial, evaporate the methanol, then add 3 mL of anhydrous DMSO to dissolve it, then aspirate it with a syringe and slowly add it dropwise to the activated product obtained in step 5 (molar ratio PluronicF68:PAMAM-NH2=64:1), and stir at 21°C for 86 h.

[0059] 7. Divide the solution obtained in step 6 above into two portions, transfer them into two dialysis bags (MWCO = 10,000, the dialysis bags need to be cut and activated in advance: boil them in boiling water for 15 minutes and let them cool before use) using a disposable dropper, and dialyze them against distilled water for 3 days.

[0060] 8. Then sprinkle PEG10000 on the dialysis bag to concentrate the liquid in the bag to about 10 mL. Then divide the concentrated liquid into vials, pre-freeze at -20°C for about 2 hours, and then freeze in a -80°C refrigerator overnight. Freeze for 48 hours to obtain a white solid, which is PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68.

[0061] Example 2 - Safety of PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68

[0062] The anti-proliferation ability of the vector on C6 cells was investigated by CCK-8 assay. 100 mL of C6 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were taken and 8×10 3Cells were seeded at a density of 100 cells / well in a 96-well plate and incubated in a 5% CO2, 37°C incubator for 24 hours. The blank vector PAMAM-NH2 and PAMAM-NH2-PluronicF68 were diluted to different concentrations (1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 mg / mL) in culture medium and sterilized by filtration through a 0.22 μm microporous filter. 100 mL of each solution was pipetted into the wells, and six replicate wells were prepared. A control group received 100 mL of DMEM culture medium, and a cell-free group served as a blank control. The cells were incubated in a 5% CO2, 37°C incubator for 48 hours. At the end of the time, 10 mL of CCK8 reagent was added to each well, and the cells were incubated for another 2 hours. The absorbance (OD) was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader. The effects of different concentrations of PAMAM-NH2 and PAMAM-NH2-PluronicF68 on the in vitro cell viability of C6 cells were calculated using the cell viability calculation formula. IC50 values were calculated using GraphPad Prism 5 software.

[0063] The results showed that cell survival decreased with increasing PAMAM-NH2 concentration over 48 hours, reaching 50% at 117.2 mg / mL. Within 48 hours, cell survival remained around 100% with increasing PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68 concentration, indicating that PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68 concentrations between 1 and 1000 mg had no significant killing effect on cells.

[0064] Example 3 - Investigation of the Adsorption Capacity of PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68 on Apo A-Ⅰ

[0065] (1) Drawing of standard curve

[0066] Accurately measure 100 μL of each Apo A-I standard solution at concentrations of 0, 1.4, 4, 12, 37, and 111 ng / mL and add it to the ELISA plate. Follow the procedure described under "Determination of Apo A-I Content" and plot the absorbance (OD) as the abscissa against the Apo A-I concentration (C) as the ordinate to generate a standard curve. Prepare a 2 mg / mL PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68 colloidal solution. Accurately measure 100 μL of this PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68 colloidal solution and incubate it with 100 μL of the 12 ng / mL, 37 ng / mL, and 111 ng / mL Apo A-I standard solutions, respectively, at 37°C for 3 h. After the incubation, all the liquid was transferred to an ultrafiltration tube and centrifuged at 10,000 r / min for 10 min. The liquid separated from the ultrafiltration membrane (containing Apo A-Ⅰ not adsorbed by the preparation) was taken and operated according to the "Determination of Apo A-Ⅰ Content" item. The OD value was recorded and inserted into the standard curve to calculate the concentration of unadsorbed Apo A-Ⅰ. Finally, the adsorption rate of Apo A-Ⅰ by PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68 micelles was calculated.

[0067] (2) Determination of Apo A-Ⅰ content

[0068] 100 μL of standard or test sample was added to each well of the enzyme-labeled plate in sequence, gently shaken to mix, covered with a plate sticker, incubated at 37°C for 60 minutes, discarded the liquid in the well, dried, and washed 3 times with 200 μL / well of washing solution, soaking for 2 minutes each time, and dried. 100 μL of horseradish peroxidase marker (HRP) working solution was added to each well, gently shaken to mix, covered with a plate sticker, incubated at 37°C for 60 minutes, discarded the liquid in the well, dried, and washed 5 times according to the above method and dried. Then 90 μL of substrate solution was added to each well in sequence, and color was developed at 37°C in the dark for 20 minutes. Finally, 50 μL of stop solution was added to each well in sequence to terminate the reaction. Within 5 minutes after the reaction was terminated, the optical density (OD value) of each well was measured in sequence at a wavelength of 450 nm using an enzyme labeler.

[0069] The results showed that the adsorption rates of PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68 micelles for 12 ng / mL, 37 ng / mL and 111 ng / mL ApoA-Ⅰ were 88%, 96% and 97%, respectively, indicating that PAMAM-NH2-Pluronic F68 micelles have a high adsorption rate for Apo A-Ⅰ. The connection of Pluronic F68 to the PAMAM-NH2 surface does not affect the adsorption of Pluronic F68 on Apo A-Ⅰ, and it can be used as a carrier to achieve BBB targeting.

[0070] Example 4 - Synthesis of the drug system PAMAM-F68-DOX

[0071] DOX (doxorubicin) free stock solution: Weigh 5 mg of doxorubicin hydrochloride, add an appropriate amount of 10 mL of methanol and acetone (1:1, v / v) mixed solvent to dissolve, add 25 μL of triethylamine, stir at room temperature for 12 h, remove the hydrochloride, and remove the solvent and excess triethylamine by rotary evaporation at 37°C. Redissolve with an appropriate amount of organic solvent (methanol) to prepare a DOX free stock solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL.

[0072] Accurately measure an appropriate amount of dehydrochlorinated DOX free stock solution into a 50 mL round-bottom flask. Weigh the appropriate amount of PAMAM-F68 polymer (to achieve a molar ratio of 1:10) into an appropriate amount of methanol solution. Add this to the round-bottom flask and stir at 37°C in the dark for 24 hours. Remove the organic solvents triethylamine and methanol under reduced pressure (rotary evaporation). Add a small amount (5 mL) of distilled water to fully hydrate and dissolve the solution. Remove unencapsulated free drug (NWCO = 1000D) by dialysis. Dialysis against distilled water for 12 hours is performed to obtain the drug system PAMAM-F68-DOX.

[0073] Example 5 - In vitro trans-BBB effect of PAMAM-NH2-F68

[0074] (1) Construction of the BBB model

[0075] Rat brain microvascular endothelial cells bEnd.3 were cultured at a rate of 1×10 5 Cells were cultured in Millicell suspension cell culture inserts for one week, with the medium changed every other day. 0.5 mL of cell suspension was added to each well of the donor reservoir, and 1.5 mL of fresh culture medium was added to each well of the receiver reservoir. The transmembrane electrical resistance (TEER) of the BBB model was measured using a Millcell@-ERS resistance meter, with a TEER greater than 200 Ω / cm selected. 2 The following experiments were performed in the upper chamber of the Transwell. C6 cells were plated at 5×10 5 The cells were seeded into another 6-well plate at a density of 100 cells / well and cultured for 24 hours. 2 The upper chamber of the Transwell was transferred to the wells plated with C6 cells and co-cultured for 24 hours to establish an in vitro bEnd.3-C6 co-culture model.

[0076] (2) Leakage test

[0077] Models with complete cell fusion under microscopy were selected as the experimental group, while a donor well without cell inoculation served as the blank control group. At the start of the test, culture medium was added to the cell inserts and corresponding wells of the multi-well plate (receiver well) of the model, ensuring that the liquid level in the donor well was 0.5 cm higher than that in the receiver well. The cells were placed in a 37°C incubator and the liquid level was observed after 0, 2, and 4 hours. A positive leakage test was considered if the difference between the internal and external liquid levels remained unchanged; otherwise, it was considered negative.

[0078] (3) Investigation of carrier transport efficiency across the BBB

[0079] 1 mL of nanocarrier (PAMAM-F68-DOX) or nanocarrier + Apo A-Ⅰ (PAMAM-F68-DOX + Apo A-Ⅰ) was added to the upper layer of the transwell chamber. 200 μL of the culture medium was sampled from the lower layer at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours, and the lower layer medium solution was replenished with PBS. The fluorescence intensity of the nanocarrier before addition and the fluorescence intensity of the sampled lower layer were measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer. The percentage of blood-brain barrier crossing was calculated according to the following formula.

[0080] Transport efficiency (%) = (fluorescence intensity of culture medium in transwell receptor / fluorescence intensity of nanoparticle solution before administration) × 100%.

[0081] See the results Figure 1 The trans-BBB transport efficiency of both PAMAM-F68-DOX and PAMAM-F68-DOX+Apo A-Ⅰ was time-dependent, but differences in transport efficiency between the two groups were observed over time. Within 2 hours, the transport efficiency of the PAMAM-F68-DOX+Apo A-Ⅰ group increased slightly compared to the PAMAM-F68-DOX group, but the difference was not significant. Between 4 and 12 hours, the transport efficiency of the PAMAM-F68-DOX+Apo AI group increased significantly, differing significantly from the PAMAM-F68-DOX group. This suggests that PAMAM-F68 can enhance trans-BBB transport efficiency by specifically binding to scavenger receptors on bEnd.3 cells after adsorbing Apo AI.

[0082] Example 6 - Investigation of the in vivo targeting effect of PAMAM-NH2-F68

[0083] A C6 glioma-bearing mouse model was established and randomly divided into two groups. Equal doses of DiR@PAMAM and DiR@PAMAM-F68 were injected via the tail vein. The distribution of DiR@PAMAM and DiR@PAMAM-F68 in the mice was analyzed using an in vivo imaging system 4, 12, 24, and 48 hours after injection.

[0084] The results showed that the intensity of the fluorescence signal in the brain of the DiR@PAMAM-F68 group was stronger than that of the DiR@PAMAM group, indicating that DiR@PAMAM-F68 adsorbs Apo A-Ⅰ in the blood and binds to scavenger receptors on the BBB, thereby crossing the BBB and reaching the tumor site. Over time, the fluorescence signal at the glioma site in the DiR@PAMAM-F68 group gradually increased, and its intensity remained higher than that of the DiR@PAMAM group, indicating that Pluronic F68 has a good ability to adsorb Apo A-Ⅰ and target the BBB.

[0085] Tumor-bearing mice were treated with PAMAM-F68-DOX and PAMAM–DOX respectively. The results showed that, in comparison, PAMAM-F68-DOX could significantly reduce tumor volume and prolong mouse survival time, indicating that using PAMAM-F68 as a nanocarrier can significantly improve the therapeutic effect of the drug delivery system for brain glioma.
