AI Technical Summary
Gemcitabine has a short intracellular half-life, which requires continuous intravenous administration of high doses, resulting in strong toxic side effects. At the same time, existing liposomal formulations have insufficient passive targeting and cannot effectively remain in Her-2 positive breast cancer cells, leading to poor treatment efficacy.
Using Her-2 antibody, polyethylene glycol, and reverse phospholipid as the main excipients, gemcitabine reverse phospholipid liposomes conjugated with Her-2 antibody were prepared. Through the specific binding of Her-2 antibody to target cells and the retention of nano-sized liposomes in the tumor area, a combination of active and passive targeting was achieved.
Gemcitabine has achieved precise targeted killing of Her-2 positive breast cancer cells, improving treatment efficacy, reducing toxic side effects, and demonstrating excellent therapeutic effects for Her-2 positive breast cancer.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to Her-2 antibody-polyethylene glycol-phospholipid, gemcitabine-phospholipid liposome formulations, their preparation methods and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Gemcitabine is a cell cycle-specific antimetabolite belonging to the pyrimidine class of drugs. It does not possess antitumor activity on its own; it requires a three-step phosphorylation process within cells to exert its antitumor effect. Recent studies have confirmed that gemcitabine, used alone or in combination with other anticancer drugs, is significantly effective in treating various solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer. However, gemcitabine has a relatively short intracellular half-life, necessitating continuous intravenous administration of high doses to maintain effective drug concentrations. This continuous administration also leads to significant toxic side effects, clinically manifested as edema, bone marrow suppression, nephrotoxicity, gastrointestinal reactions, flu-like reactions, and allergic reactions. This dose-limiting toxicity greatly affects its clinical efficacy.
[0003] Encapsulating gemcitabine in liposomes to create nanomedicines can effectively enhance its targeting and reduce its toxic side effects on organs. However, existing gemcitabine liposome formulations are passively targeted nanomedicines, achieving their targeting effect through the high permeability and retention effect (EPR effect) of liposomes in the tumor region. A drawback of passively targeted nanomedicines is the strict requirement for particle size; the nanomedicine particles must be small enough to remain within the irregular blood vessels of the tumor region and then permeate out of the blood vessels to avoid being carried away by the bloodstream. Her-2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) antibody-drug conjugates have an active tumor-targeting effect; however, they lack the nanoscale particle size required to remain in the tumor region, resulting in poor tumor cell killing efficacy.

[0085] In step (1) of Preparation Example 1, anhydrous ethanol was replaced with ethylene glycol, and the other operations were the same as in Preparation Example 1, finally yielding hydroxy-reverse phospholipids.
[0086] Example 1
[0087] (1) 10g of hydroxyl-antiphospholipid, 23g of carboxyl-terminated polyethylene glycol 2000, 0.1g of catalyst 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), 2g of dehydrating agent N,N'-dicyclohexylcarboimide (DCC) and 500mL of dichloromethane were mixed and reacted at room temperature for 24h. After the reaction was completed, the excess carboxyl-terminated polyethylene glycol 2000 and catalyst were washed away with tetrahydrofuran to obtain polyethylene glycol-antiphospholipid.
[0088] (2) 100 mg of polyethylene glycol-antiphospholipid, 10 mg of Her-2 antibody, 10 mg of catalyst N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and 10 mg of dehydrating agent 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC) were added to 5 mL of deionized water and reacted at room temperature for 24 h. After the reaction was completed, the resulting product system was dialyzed to remove the catalyst, and Her-2 antibody-polyethylene glycol-antiphospholipid was obtained.
[0089] Example 2
[0090] (1) Mix 5g of antiphospholipid, 0.4g of Her-2 antibody-polyethylene glycol-antiphospholipid, 1.5g of cholesterol and 2mL of ethanol at 45℃ to obtain an oil phase solution;
[0091] (2) Ammonium sulfate was mixed and dissolved with 100 mL of water for injection at room temperature to obtain an aqueous solution with an ammonium sulfate concentration of 200 mM.
[0092] (3) The oil phase solution and the aqueous phase solution are mixed at 60°C, and emulsified for 30 min at an ultrasonic power of 300 W and a temperature of 60°C. Then, a high-pressure homogenizer is used to homogenize the emulsion for 30 min at a speed of 800 rpm and a temperature of 60°C, so that the particle size of the liposomes in the resulting homogenized emulsion is 80-120 nm.
[0093] (4) The homogenized emulsion was subjected to rotary vacuum evaporation to remove ethanol, and then mixed with 1 mL of gemcitabine hydrochloride aqueous solution with a concentration of 10 mg / mL. The mixture was incubated at 60°C for 60 min. The resulting product system was passed through an ultrafiltration system to remove unencapsulated gemcitabine hydrochloride and ammonium sulfate. The resulting solution was then concentrated, and 5 mL of buffer solution (water for injection) was added to the residue until the concentration of gemcitabine hydrochloride was 2 mg / mL. The resulting solution was then filtered through a 0.22 μm microporous membrane for sterilization to obtain Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulation (pH 7.4).

[0098] Example 4
[0099] Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulation was prepared according to the method of Example 2, except that the amount of Her-2 antibody-polyethylene glycol-antiphospholipid used in this example was 0.8g.
[0100] Figure 3The image shows the particle size distribution of liposomes in the Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulation prepared in Example 4. The results show that the particle size of the liposomes in the Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulation is 85.8 nm, and the PDI is 0.212.
[0101] Comparative Example 1
[0102] Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulation was prepared according to the method in Example 4, the only difference being that the Her-2 antibody-polyethylene glycol-antiphospholipid was omitted, and the antiphospholipid was replaced with lecithin.
[0103] Test Example 1
[0104] The following method is used to evaluate the targeting efficacy of Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulations:
[0105] Normal human breast epithelial cells (MDA-kb2 cell line) and human Her-2 positive breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-453 cell line) were incubated in culture dishes for 12 h. Then, Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulations prepared in Examples 2-4 were added to the culture dishes of the two cell lines, with the gemcitabine concentration at 10 μg / mL. After incubation for 24 h, Celltiter-Blue reagent was added to each well, and the cells were read using a microplate reader (λ). ex =560nm, λ em Cell viability was detected at 590 nm.
[0106] Figure 4 The figure shows the evaluation results of the targeted killing ability of the Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulations in Examples 2-4 for breast cancer cells. The results show that the Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulations in Examples 2-4 all exhibited strong targeting ability for Her-2 positive breast cancer cells. Among them, the survival rate of MDA-kb2 cells using the Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulation in Example 4 was 87.3%, and the survival rate of MDA-MB-453 cells was 23.5%, showing the greatest difference in killing ability and the best targeting effect.
[0107] Test Example 2
[0108] Comparison of the targeting effects of Her-2 antibody-conjugated gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulations and gemcitabine liposome formulations without Her-2 antibodies:
[0109] Human Her-2 positive breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-453 cell line) were incubated in culture dishes for 12 h. Gemcitabine liposome formulations prepared in Example 4 and Comparative Example 1 were then added to the culture dishes to achieve a gemcitabine concentration of 10 μg / mL. After incubation for 24 h, Celltiter-Blue reagent was added to each well, and the cells were then analyzed using a microplate reader (λ). ex =560nm, λ em Cell viability was detected at 590 nm.
[0110] The results showed that the survival rate of breast cancer cells using the gemcitabine antiphospholipid liposome formulation conjugated with the Her-2 antibody in Example 4 was 25.3%, while the survival rate of breast cancer cells using the gemcitabine liposome formulation in Comparative Example 1 was 51.2%. This indicates that the addition of Her-2 antibody-polyethylene glycol-antiphospholipid and antiphospholipid in this invention significantly improves the targeted therapeutic effect of the liposome formulation. Compared with gemcitabine liposome formulations prepared with lecithin but without Her-2 antibody-polyethylene glycol-antiphospholipid and antiphospholipid, as well as Her-2 antibody drug conjugates, it has stronger active targeting of Her-2 positive breast cancer cells and lower toxicity, achieving precise killing of Her-2 positive breast cancer cells.
