Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a self-assembled nano-drug for enhancing the treatment of echinococcosis by a combination of sonodynamic therapy and anti-echinococcosis drugs, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, is a parasitic disease of humans and animals, which is distributed worldwide. In China, it is mainly distributed in the western pastoral areas of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet and other places, seriously endangering human health and hindering the development of animal husbandry.

[0003] At present, surgical treatment is the preferred treatment for echinococcosis, but research has found that surgical treatment is only suitable for patients with a small number of cysts and early-stage echinococcosis. Drug treatment is irreplaceable for improving the quality of life of patients with recurrent, multiple and late-stage echinococcosis. The only drug recommended by WHO for clinical treatment of echinococcosis is benzimidazole, which is still the main treatment. Albendazole (ABZ) is the best pharmacological choice for treating echinococcosis, but it is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, resulting in poor intestinal absorption, low blood concentration and low bioavailability of albendazole, which limits its efficacy and leads to a low cure rate (only about 30%). In recent years, some scholars have devoted themselves to the research of new dosage forms of albendazole, and have obtained albendazole emulsion, albendazole liposome, albendazole chitosan and other dosage forms, and have carried out pharmacodynamic studies, and have made certain progress, but all have the defect of insufficient response. In addition to the influence of the drug properties of each drug itself, the number, size, type and location of the cysts and the cyst wall also affect the drug, making it difficult for the drug to completely penetrate the cyst wall and exert the best efficacy, so it is difficult to achieve the ideal therapeutic effect. The use of benzimidazole drugs and other drugs in combination to treat echinococcosis has achieved certain results in the prior art, but most of them have little effect or are still in the laboratory stage. Moreover, echinococcosis usually parasitizes in the liver, which increases the burden on the liver and reduces the detoxification effect, and high-dose long-term continuous administration greatly increases the toxicity of the drug. Therefore, how to improve the bioavailability of anti-echinococcosis drugs, strengthen the ability of the drug to penetrate the cyst wall, and increase the effective concentration in the cyst is the primary problem to be solved in the treatment of echinococcosis.

[0004] The inventors of the present application have previously used photodynamic therapy combined with albendazole to treat hydatid disease, which also achieved significant therapeutic effect (a patent has been applied for and granted: Photodynamic composition, preparation method and application thereof, Patent No.: ZL 202010479494.1), but the laser used in photodynamic therapy cannot reach the deep part of the organ, and it is difficult to treat deep lesions with photodynamic therapy. Therefore, to improve the clinical efficacy of albendazole, not only the solubility and bioavailability of the drug should be increased, but also the drug's penetration and delivery capacity to the hydatid capsule wall and multiple insecticidal functions should be considered.

[0005] Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a new non-invasive treatment method based on PDT, which uses ultrasound-induced cavitation and free radicals generated after the activation of a sonosensitizer to kill surrounding cancer cells. Under the ultrasound (US) irradiation of sonodynamic therapy, the depth of penetration of human tissues can reach 7-10 cm, and the active oxygen induced locally can be activated and released by ultrasound irradiation of the sonosensitizer, thereby causing great damage to deep tumors and attracting widespread attention. Sonodynamic therapy has the advantages of strong penetration, low cost, precise treatment and slight damage, etc. Compared with the laser or microwave used in photodynamic therapy, ultrasound as a mechanical wave can penetrate deep into tumor tissue and accurately focus on tumor cell sites, effectively selecting and activating ultrasound sensitizers accumulated in tumors, which is beneficial to avoid damage to normal tissues along the propagation path of the ultrasound wave. It has strong targeting and safety for treating tumors, especially deep tumors. Therefore, it can overcome the shortcomings of poor penetration of excitation light in photodynamic therapy and has an irreplaceable role in treating deep tumor lesions in the body. Moreover, the ultrasound technology required for sonodynamic therapy has been very mature, and the clinical equipment is relatively inexpensive.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide a nuclear-targeted drug delivery system based on nanotechnology to deliver anti-hydatid drugs into the nucleus with satisfactory therapeutic effect is a technical problem that those skilled in the art need to solve. SUMMARY

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a self-assembled nanodrug for enhancing sonodynamic therapy combined with anti-hydatid drugs to treat hydatid disease and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0051] A preparation method of a self-assembled nanodrug for enhancing the treatment of echinococcosis by a combination of a sonodynamic effect and an anti-echinococcosis drug, comprising the following steps:

[0052] (1) Preparation of hollow TiO2 nanoparticles: 5 mL of a polyvinylpyrrolidone PVP-K30 (10 mg / mL) aqueous solution and 0.15 mL of hydrochloric acid (0.1 mol / L) were added to 75 mL of anhydrous ethanol, and the mixture was uniformly stirred at room temperature under magnetic stirring. Then, 10 mL of a titanium tetrafluoride aqueous solution with a concentration of (1 mg / mL) was added dropwise to the obtained dispersion under magnetic stirring, and after the dropwise addition was completed, the mixture was magnetically stirred for 1 h. Then, the obtained suspension was transferred to a stainless steel autoclave, and a hydrothermal reaction was performed at 180°C for 3 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The white product was collected by centrifugation and washed with water and ethanol several times.

Then, 0.8 mg of the hollow TiO2 nanoparticles obtained in step (1) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 3 h to obtain a suspension. The obtained suspension was subjected to photodeposition using a xenon lamp for 50 min, and the light purple product was collected by centrifugation and washed with high-purity water several times. After drying at 60°C for 24 h, the product was calcined in a muffle furnace at 350°C for 3 h to obtain purple Au / TiO2;

[0054] (3) Preparation of ABZ@Au / TiO2 by loading drugs on Au / TiO2: 10 mg of the Au / TiO2 obtained in step (2) was added to 5 mL of a free ABZ solution (solvent: DMSO, 1 mg / mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature in the dark for 48 h. After the stirring was completed, the precipitate was collected and washed with high-purity water several times until the supernatant was colorless to obtain ABZ@Au / TiO2. The drug loading amount was determined by the characteristic light absorbance of ABZ at λ = 295 nm, and the detected drug loading amount was 29%;

[0055] (4) Preparation of HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ NPs based on electrostatic attraction method: ABZ@Au / TiO2 obtained in step (3) was dispersed in ethanol to obtain ABZ@Au / TiO2 ethanol solution with a concentration of 2 mg / mL.

After stirring, the obtained solution was slowly added to 15 mL of high-purity water, and the mixture was again magnetically stirred in the dark at room temperature for 48 h. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was dialyzed in deionized water (dialysis bag with a molecular weight cut-off of 8000-14000 Da), and then freeze-dried to obtain HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ NPs, which are self-assembled nanodrugs for enhanced sonodynamic and anti-echinococcosis drug treatment of echinococcosis.

[0060] Application Example 1

[0061] 1. Detection of oxygen carrying capacity of HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ nanoparticles

[0062] The UV-VIS (Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy) is a UV-visible light absorption spectrum determination. KMnO4 is prepared into a series of concentrations of 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 mmol / L. The UV absorption values of KMnO4 of different concentrations are measured by UV-VIS, and the standard curve of KMnO4 is drawn. The standard curve equation is y = 0.97 + 0.019, R = 0.9983. 2

[0063] The same concentration and volume of PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ and HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ nanoparticles are taken and reacted with excess Na2SO3, respectively. The unreacted Na2SO3 reacts with KMnO4. The oxygen content of PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ and HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ nanoparticles is quantitatively measured according to the change of absorbance before and after the reaction of KMnO4 and the molar mass ratio of the redox reaction. The oxygen stability is measured according to the above redox reaction at the same time on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 days. As shown in Figure 5, the oxygen content of PFOB in PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ is 0.381 ± 0.057 mg / mL, and the oxygen content of PFOB in HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ nanoparticles is 0.367 ± 0.081 mg / mL. As shown in Figure 5, within 5 days, only a few nanoparticles have decreased oxygen content, and the oxygen carrying capacity is relatively stable. Figure 1

[0064] 2. Measurement of particle size and surface potential of nanoparticles:

[0065] The nanoparticles Au / TiO2@ABZ and HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ prepared in Example 1 are diluted with ultrapure water to prepare a suspension with a mass concentration of 10%. Dynamic light scattering particle size analyzer (DLS) is used to measure the particle size distribution and surface Zeta potential of nanoparticles Au / TiO2@ABZ, PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ, and HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ. The particle size distribution and potential results of each nanoparticle are shown in Table 1. Each nanoparticle shows negative electric properties.

[0067] Sample Average particle size (nm) Average potential (mV) Au / TiO2@ABZ 152.01±10.12 -13.23±2.17 [PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ] 160.35±14.73 -15.22±1.31 HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ 166.93±10.89 -14.08±3.55

[0068] 3. Evaluation of nanoparticle stability

[0069] ​​The prepared sonodynamic nanoparticles were placed at 4°C and 37°C, respectively, sampling was performed, laser particle size analyzer was used to determine the particle size of the nanoparticles, and the stability of the nanoparticles was reflected by the change of the particle size, the results showed that the particle size of the nanoparticles did not change obviously within 10 days under different storage conditions, indicating that the prepared HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ nanoparticles had good stability (see Figure 2 ).

[0070] 4. Drug release rate determination

[0071] Evaluation of drug release behavior of HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ nanoparticles under ultrasound

[0072] The nanoparticles prepared in Example 1 were placed at the focal point of focused ultrasound, the main parameters of the ultrasound device used in the experiment were: frequency 1.0 MHz, different ultrasound intensities (US0-0W / cm 2 , US1-0.2W / cm 2 , US2-0.3W / cm 2 , US3-0.4W / cm 2 , US4-0.5W / cm 2 , US5-0.6W / cm 2 ) were used, and the ultrasound treatment lasted for 5 min, then dialysis method was used to determine the drug release rate, the results showed that under the action of ultrasound, the drug ABZ in HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ NPs could be released quickly, and the drug release was obviously accelerated with the increase of ultrasound intensity (see Figure 3 ), while in the absence of Au / TiO2 loading (ABZ NPs: nanoparticles encapsulated by PLGA-PEG) combined with ultrasound treatment, the drug release rate was significantly reduced, wherein ABZ NPs refers to nanoparticles without MTN loading, and the preparation method is as follows:

[0073] 100 mg of high molecular material PLGA-PEG and 10 mg of albendazole were accurately weighed and dissolved in 1 mL of DMSO, after ultrasonic dissolution, the solution was slowly added into 5 times the volume of stirring phosphate buffer (PBS, 10 mM, pH = 7.4) using a pipette, after the addition was completed, it was stirred at room temperature for 20 min, then centrifuged at 3500 r / min for 5 min, and the unencapsulated drug was removed, thereby obtaining ABZ NPs.

[0074] 5. Evaluation of ROS production of nanoparticles under ultrasound

[0075] The nanoparticles prepared in Example 1 were placed in the focus of focused ultrasound after adding ROS probe DCFH-DA and treated with ultrasound, the ultrasound device was the same as in Example 4, US3 was selected as the ultrasound intensity, and then the intensity of reactive oxygen species was observed by fluorescence inverted microscope. The results showed that the intensity of HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ+SDT was significantly higher than that of Au / TiO2@ABZ+SDT.

[0076] 6. Investigation of the effect of nanoparticles on the level of Eg ATP

[0077] The protoscoleces were cultured in 24-well plates at a concentration of 2000 per well, each nanoparticle was administered, and US3 was selected as the ultrasound intensity. The US intervention was 5 min, 100 μL of ATP lysis solution was added to the culture plate well, and then the lysis was performed and transferred to an EP tube. Centrifugation was performed at 4°C, 12700xg, 10 min, and the supernatant was aspirated. Protein quantification was performed by BCA method, and the final concentration of protein in each group was adjusted to the same. According to the instructions of the ATP detection kit, the luminescence values of ATP standard solution and sample were detected, and the ATP concentration of the sample was obtained according to the ATP concentration standard curve. The results are shown in Table 2. Compared with the Eg control group, the ATP levels in the Au / TiO2@ABZ, PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ, and HA / PFOB@Au / TiO2@ABZ groups were significantly reduced (all P<0.01); compared with the ABZ NPs group, the ATP level was significantly reduced (all P<0.01) compared with the photodynamic result.
