Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanomedicine preparation technology, specifically to a carrier-free nanomedicine for targeted tumors deposited with calcium phosphate and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, breast cancer has become one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Currently, the main treatment for breast cancer is traditional chemotherapy, but this method still has limitations, such as low bioavailability, significant drug toxicity and side effects, and damage to the immune system. Therefore, the development of highly effective and low-side-effect new cancer treatments is urgently needed. Researchers are dedicated to developing multifunctional nanomedicine carriers and investigating how to improve the targeting and controlled release efficiency of chemotherapy drugs to ensure accurate and effective delivery to tumor tissues.
[0003] Ferroplasm inducers are novel small chemical molecules that hold promise for breast cancer treatment. They induce the overexpression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumor cells through iron accumulation, thereby disrupting the redox balance and inducing cell death. However, the ROS concentration produced by ferroplasm inducers is often insufficient to cause tumor cell death, and they lack biocompatibility from a molecular perspective, failing to exert their intended antitumor effects in vivo. Therefore, multiple ferroplasm inducers can be used synergistically to enhance their antitumor effects in vivo; however, how to combine multiple ferroplasm inducers to improve antitumor efficacy remains a pressing challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a carrier-free nanomedicine for targeted tumors deposited with calcium phosphate and its preparation method, thereby solving the problems of poor water solubility and low bioavailability of ferroptosis drugs in the prior art.
[0005] The technical solution of this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A method for preparing calcium phosphate-deposited, carrier-free tumor-targeting nanomedicines is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0006] (1) Dissolve the small molecule drug in an organic solvent, stir evenly to obtain reaction solution one, add reaction solution one drop into simulated body fluid for biomineralization, and then dialyze to obtain CaP@iBEFT, which is a carrier-free nanomedicine deposited with calcium phosphate.
[0007] (2) Dissolve lactoferrin in an aqueous solution of 4-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid, then add 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide, stir for 1-3 h, then add polyethylene glycol in an aqueous solution of 4-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid, continue stirring for 12-24 h, then dialyze to obtain LP, i.e. polyethylene glycol-modified lactoferrin;
[0008] (3) Dissolve the carrier-free nanomedicine deposited by calcium phosphate obtained in step (1) and the polyethylene glycol-modified lactoferrin obtained in step (2) in water, stir and react for 12-24 hours, and then dialyze to obtain LP-CaP@iBEFT, which is a carrier-free nanomedicine for targeting tumors deposited by calcium phosphate.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Carrier-free drugs can be polymerized into highly stable, biocompatible, and tumor microenvironment-responsive nanomedicines through self-assembly and biomineralization, utilizing the physicochemical properties of small molecule drugs or by coating their surfaces with hydrophilic substances. Calcium phosphate (CaP), as a good biomineralizing agent, can form stable nano-formulations. Furthermore, CaP can be released in acidic environments, exhibiting pH responsiveness. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is slightly acidic, allowing carrier-free nanomedicines to release drugs and exert anti-tumor effects upon entering the tumor environment. In addition, the lactoferrin on the surface of this nano-formulation can actively recognize lactoferrin receptors overexpressed on tumor cell membranes, thereby increasing the uptake capacity of tumor cells of carrier-free nanomedicines and enhancing their tumor therapeutic effect.
[0010] This invention prepares CaP@iBEFT by "biomineralizing" a small molecule drug in simulated body fluids, and then encapsulates the CaP@iBEFT surface with polyethylene glycol-modified lactoferrin to obtain a core-shell structured LP-CaP@iBEFT. This calcium phosphate-deposited, carrier-free nanomedicine for targeting tumors has the characteristics of good water solubility, high bioavailability and good safety, and can be used for targeted therapy of triple-negative breast cancer.
[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows:
[0012] Furthermore, in step (1), the small molecule drug is an inhibitor of ferroptosis inhibitor 1, buquina, arastin, iron ions, and tannic acid.
[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are as follows: Among these five small molecule drugs, the inhibitor of protein 1 (iFSP1) is an inhibitor of the FSP1 pathway, brequinar is an inhibitor of the DHODH pathway, and erastin is an inhibitor of the GPX4 pathway. The above three inhibitors can inhibit the pathways that negatively regulate ferroptosis, thereby indirectly promoting ferroptosis. Iron ions and tannic acid can promote the Fenton reaction and directly induce ferroptosis.
[0014] Furthermore, in step (1), the organic solvent is dimethyl sulfoxide.
[0015] Furthermore, the mass-to-volume ratio of ferroptosis inhibitor 1 inhibitor, buquina, arastin, iron ions, tannic acid, and organic solvent was 0.5-2 mg: 0.5-2 mg: 0.5-2 mg: 0.5-2 mg: 200 μL.
[0016] Furthermore, in step (1), the volume ratio of the organic solvent to the simulated body fluid is 1:15-20.
[0017] Furthermore, the iron ions are ferric chloride.
[0018] Furthermore, in step (2), the total amount of lactoferrin, 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide, and the mass-to-volume ratio of the aqueous solution of 4-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid are 4-6 mg: 10-11 mg: 1-2 mL.
[0019] Furthermore, in step (2), the concentration of the 4-morpholine ethanesulfonic acid aqueous solution is 45-55 mmol / L.
[0020] Furthermore, in step (2), the mass-to-volume ratio of lactoferrin and polyethylene glycol in 4-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid solution is 4-6 mg: 1-2 mL.
[0021] Further, in step (2), the 4-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid solution of polyethylene glycol is prepared by dissolving 10 mg of polyethylene glycol in 1-2 mL of 4-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid to obtain the 4-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid solution of polyethylene glycol.
[0022] Furthermore, in step (2), the polyethylene glycol is NH2-PEG2000-NH2.
[0023] Furthermore, in step (3), the mass-to-volume ratio of the carrier-free nanomedicine deposited by calcium phosphate, the polyethylene glycol-modified lactoferrin, and water is 1 mg: 1-5 mg: 4-6 mL.
[0024] The present invention also provides carrier-free nanomedicines prepared by the above method.
[0025] Furthermore, in the carrier-free tumor-targeting nanomedicines deposited with calcium phosphate, the loading of ferroptosis inhibitor 1 inhibitor was 5-10 wt%, the loading of buquina was 5-10 wt%, the loading of asterine was 5-10 wt%, the loading of iron ions was 7-15 wt%, and the loading of lactoferrin was 25-35 wt%.
[0026] Furthermore, the carrier-free nanomedicine targeting tumors deposited with calcium phosphate has a core-shell structure, with the carrier-free nanomedicine deposited with calcium phosphate as the core and PEGylated lactoferrin as the outer shell.
[0027] Furthermore, the particle size of the calcium phosphate-deposited carrier-free tumor-targeting nanomedicine is 100-110 nm, and the shell thickness is 30-35 nm.
[0028] Furthermore, the calcium phosphate-deposited carrier-free nanomedicine targeting tumors has a particle size of 106 nm and a shell thickness of 33 nm.
[0029] This invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned calcium phosphate deposited carrier-free nanomedicine for targeted tumors in the preparation of targeted tumor drugs.
[0030] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0031] 1. In the LP-CaP@iBEFT prepared in this invention, the nanomedicine comprises ferroptosis inhibitor 1 inhibitor (iFSP1), brequinar, erastin, and iron ions (Fe). 3+ CaP co-assembles with the reducing agent tannic acid (TA); PEGylated lactoferrin (LP) can actively target tumor cells by recognizing lactoferrin receptors on the cell membrane; CaP releases small molecule ferroptosis drugs Eratin, Brequinar, iFSP1, and Fe upon response to an acidic environment. 3+ It and TA lead to an increase in iron-related reactive oxygen species and the accumulation of lipid peroxides, triggering ferroptosis and thus inducing cell death, which has an anti-breast cancer effect.
[0032] 2. In the carrier-free nanomedicine prepared by this invention, CaP has the advantages of good biocompatibility, non-toxicity and pH response.
[0033] 3. In the carrier-free nanomedicine prepared by this invention, the active targeting of lactoferrin (Lf) and the passive targeting of CaP to tumor cells increase the accumulation of drug in tumor tissue, thereby improving drug absorption and efficacy. Compared with other targeting pathways (such as monoclonal antibody targeted therapy), the Lf targeting pathway has advantages such as low cost, low immunogenicity, and stable tumor penetration.
[0034] 4. This invention provides a method for preparing structurally stable and particle-size controllable nanomedicines via calcium phosphate deposition. The newly prepared nanomedicines overcome the poor water solubility of small molecule ferroptosis drugs, improve their bioavailability, and avoid high dosage but low efficiency.

[0068] Test case
[0069] The following tests were performed on the LP-CaP@iBEFT prepared in Example 1.
[0070] I. The LP-CaP@iBEFT prepared in Example 1 was subjected to TEM, silver staining, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 1-3 .
[0071] Depend on Figure 1 It is known that the calcium phosphate-deposited carrier-free nanomedicine for targeting tumors prepared in this invention has a distinct core-shell structure, with the calcium phosphate-deposited carrier-free nanomedicine (CaP@iBEFT) as the core and PEG-modified lactoferrin (LP) as the shell.

[0073] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that LP-CaP@iBEFT has the crystal angle of CaP, indicating that CaP has been successfully mineralized.
[0074] II. The LP-CaP@iBEFT prepared in Example 1 was subjected to infrared spectroscopy detection, and the results are shown in the figure. Figure 4 .Depend on Figure 4It is evident that the calcium phosphate-deposited, carrier-free tumor-targeting nanomedicine (LP-CaP@iBEFT) prepared in this invention exhibits absorption peaks of characteristic functional groups iFSP1, Brequinar, Erastin, FeCl3, and TA, indicating the successful loading of these drugs.

[0080]
[0081] IV. pH-responsive release characteristics of CaP
[0082] The LP-CaP@iBEFT prepared in Example 1 was prepared into an aqueous solution. 1 mL of the sample was placed in a 3500 Mw dialysis bag, and then the dialysis bag was immersed in different pH environments (pH = 7.4, simulating the normal physiological environment; pH = 6.5, simulating the tumor microenvironment; pH = 5.0, simulating the lysosomal environment) and shaken at 37°C. The contents of iFSP1, Brequinar, and Erastin in 1 mL of buffer solution outside the dialysis bag at different time intervals were measured by HPLC. The results are shown in [Figure number missing]. Figure 6-8 .

[0086] V. Stability of carrier-free nanomedicines
[0087] The LP-CaP@iBEFT prepared in Example 1 was used to prepare carrier-free nanomedicine solutions with primary aqueous solution, PBS solution, and DMEM solution, respectively. Water content and particle size were continuously measured at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 days. The results are shown in [Figure number missing]. Figure 10 .
