Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biochemical technology, specifically relating to a small molecule BODIPY derivative, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Bacteria, as ancient and tiny organisms, have a profound impact on human daily life. Apart from some beneficial probiotics, most bacteria cause infectious diseases and pose a threat to human health. If left uncontrolled, the acute or chronic inflammatory responses they trigger can further lead to irreversible tissue damage. Currently, antibiotics are the ideal treatment strategy for preventing bacterial infections and reducing bacterial virulence. However, the discovery and development of new antibiotics significantly impacts their antibacterial efficacy compared to bacterial evolution and drug resistance. Furthermore, the application of further therapeutic drugs is hindered due to poor specificity against bacteria and the inevitable damage to normal tissues.
[0003] Nanomedicines refer to drugs that are combined with nanoparticles (NPs), nanospheres (NSs), nanocapsules (NCs), etc., as carriers in a certain way. Their particle size may exceed 100 nm, but should usually be less than 500 nm. Nanomedicines can also be nanoparticles made directly from raw drug materials.
[0004] Besides traditional drugs that can be prepared into nanomedicines, nanoparticles prepared by encapsulating small organic molecules with amphiphilic carriers are also widely used in drug research. Since drugs act directly on the human body, they must meet conditions such as non-toxicity, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Although various nanomedicines encapsulated with small organic molecules have been disclosed, further research has revealed several shortcomings. For example, most current methods using small molecules containing BODIPY derivatives employ photodynamic therapy via 660 or 808 excitation, but due to the low light penetration within the body, this method is limited to superficial tissues and cannot achieve deep antibacterial effects.
[0005] Because of the aforementioned shortcomings of common BODIPY derivatives, the field has been dedicated to finding alternative methods to achieve deep antibacterial effects, thereby further improving the therapeutic efficacy of small molecule nanomedicines. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a small molecule of BODIPY derivative, its preparation method, and its application. This small molecule is a BODIPY derivative that can generate ROS in response to achieve anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects in vivo, thereby solving the problem of achieving deep antibacterial effects through ultrasound and replacing broad-spectrum antibiotics to resist drug-resistant bacteria. This further improves the therapeutic effect of small molecule nanomedicines and can replace commercially available broad-spectrum antibiotics.
[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a small molecule of BODIPY derivative, which is obtained by coupling reaction of responsive BODIPY with a triphenylamine analog and can generate ROS under ultrasonic conditions.

[0013] Furthermore, the triphenylamine analogue is selected from one or more of the following compounds:
[0014]
[0015] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the small molecules of the BODIPY derivative, comprising the following steps:
[0016] The BODIPY monomer, triphenylamine monomer, Pd2(dba)3, disodium tert-butyl, P(t-Bu)3 and toluene solution were stirred at 85°C under a nitrogen atmosphere for 24 hours; the reaction mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water and saturated NaCl solution; the organic layer was dried on anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure, and purified by silica gel column chromatography.
[0017] A third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the aforementioned BODIPY derivative small molecules in the preparation of antibacterial nanosolutions.
[0018] Furthermore, small molecules of BODIPY derivatives were prepared into nanoparticles by coating them with amphiphilic polymers. These nanoparticles were then injected intravenously and accumulated in the bloodstream at the wound site. ROS were generated by ultrasound to kill bacteria.
[0019] Furthermore, the amphiphilic polymer is PLGA-PEG, DSPE-PEG, or PEG-b-PPG-b-PEG.

[0048] Thirdly, the application of the aforementioned BODIPY derivative small molecules in the preparation of antibacterial nanosolutions is provided.
[0049] Specifically, small molecules of BODIPY derivatives are coated with amphiphilic polymers to prepare nanoparticles, which are then injected intravenously and accumulate in the bloodstream at the wound site.

Furthermore, this small molecule can rapidly generate ROS upon ultrasound, which can be used in sonodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, etc.

[0062] Example 6 Preparation of Nanoparticles
[0063] 10 mg of compound 1BODIPY (prepared in Example 3) and 100 mg of the amphiphilic polymer PLGA-PEG were weighed and placed in a 25 mL vial containing 10 mL of THF. The mixture was sonicated until both components were completely dissolved, rapidly evaporated to dryness, and 5 mL of water was added dropwise under sonication. Dialysis was performed for 12 h using a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 3500. The dialysate was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 min, and the precipitate was discarded to obtain a nanomicelle system. The particle size was determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS), and the results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, its average particle size (z-average) is 113 nm, its polymer dispersity index (PDI) is 0.21, and its potential is negative. Figure 3 As shown. The ultraviolet absorption of the small molecule of compound 1 was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (UV-2450PC, Shimazu), and the results are shown below. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the small molecules exhibit strong absorption in the range of 400-1200.
[0064] The ultraviolet absorption was measured using a UV-2450PC spectrophotometer (Shimazu), and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, by Figure 5 It can be seen that the loaded nanomicelles have strong absorption in the range of 400-1200 nm.
[0065] Example 7 Antibacterial Performance Test
[0066] Dilute drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or drug-resistant Escherichia coli in LB liquid medium to OD100 during the logarithmic growth phase. 600 =1.0 colony-forming units (CFU) were used as the working suspension. The volume was 100 μL, with 100 μL of different groups of nanoparticles added (diluted in PBS buffer), followed by 300 μL of PBS, for a final volume of 500 μL. Incubation was performed on a shaker at 37°C for 4 hours. For groups requiring sonication, a 1.5 W cm⁻¹ power was applied after 4 hours. -2 The bacteria were sonicated at 3 MHz for 1 min, and then returned to a shaker for 1 h of incubation. 10 μL of each of the different treatment groups was diluted 10,000 times with PBS. 100 μL of the diluted bacterial solution was spread onto a solid culture medium and placed in an incubator. After 12 h of incubation, the colony count was performed. Figure 6 shows the growth of different bacteria (A is drug-resistant Escherichia coli, B is drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) on a solid culture medium after different treatments. It can be seen that the antibacterial effect of the BODIPY molecule of compound 1 increased under ultrasound, indicating that ultrasound action on the OH· produced by the BODIPY molecule disrupts the bacterial cell membrane.
[0067] The concentration of the solid culture medium in which bacterial survival rate is 0 was established as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). After MIC determination, 5 μL of the mixture with no visible bacterial growth was spread onto LB agar plates, which were incubated at 37°C. After 18 hours, bacterial activity was visually observed. Each experiment was repeated three times. The number of E. coli and S. aureus colonies on the agar plates was counted using the plate counting method, and the bacterial survival rate of different treatment groups was calculated according to the following formula:
[0068] Bacterial survival rate (%) = (Number of bacterial colonies in experimental group / Number of bacterial colonies in control group) × 100%
[0069] The antibacterial properties of compound 1BODIPY (small molecule) in Example 3 are shown in Table 1:
[0070] Table 1
[0071]
[0072] Bacterial morphology after treatment in Example 6
[0073] Dilute the bacterial culture to an appropriate concentration (1×10⁻⁶). 6 ~1×10 7 CFU mL -1Different groups of nanoparticles were added to PBS, PBS+US, NP, and NP+US and incubated on a shaker at 37°C for 4 hours. For groups requiring sonication, an ultrasound treatment was administered at a power of 1.5 W / cm² after 4 hours. 2 Sonication for 1 min. After washing the bacterial cells three times with PBS, they were successively treated with 30%, 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, and 100% ethanol for 10 min each. Finally, the samples were dried in a vacuum freeze-drying oven and photographed using a scanning electron microscope. As shown in Figure 7, it can be seen that under the action of ultrasound, the surfaces of both bacterial groups showed wrinkling and depressions compared to the PBS group. Furthermore, the treatment with small molecules of compound 1BODIPY from Example 3, encapsulated into nanoparticles and then subjected to ultrasound, caused the bacterial cell membrane to rupture. When the bacterial cell membrane ruptured, nutrients were lost, ultimately leading to bacterial death.
