Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photosensitizer synthesis and photodynamic tumor therapy, and in particular to a fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted considerable attention due to its minimally invasive nature and high spatiotemporal precision. Photosensitizers, as a key component of PDT, transfer absorbed energy to ambient oxygen and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which then react with nearby biomacromolecules (e.g., lipids, proteins, DNA) to kill cancer cells and complete PDT. Therefore, effective accumulation of photosensitizers at the tumor site is a prerequisite for PDT in cancer patients, and their tumor retention directly determines whether the treatment is accurate and effective. However, during in vivo PDT, most organic small molecule photosensitizers are rapidly cleared from the bloodstream, typically within hours or even minutes. This prevents the photosensitizers from being effectively accumulated and retained at the tumor site, resulting in low PDT efficiency. Therefore, increasing the retention time of photosensitizers at the tumor site is urgent. Nanoparticle-based photosensitizers can overcome the limitations of small molecule dyes and improve the anti-tumor efficacy of PDT.

[0003] Designing photosensitizers into nanosystems, such as organic polymer nanoparticles, liposomes, and nanoinorganic materials, has been reported to prolong blood circulation and enhance tumor retention. The physicochemical properties of nanosystems (i.e., size, shape, and charge) can be well controlled to optimize tumor retention, and tumor retention can be further enhanced by exploiting "passive targeting" effects. Numerous photosensitizers have been reported or commercially available, but most suffer from limitations, such as low photostability, structural instability, or a limited range of solvent conditions. The development of new photosensitizers that are highly efficient, photostable, and widely applicable under a wide range of conditions would be highly beneficial. Good photostability under repeated excitation is highly desirable. Photobleaching is often considered a drawback of photosensitizers because the formation of photodegradation products complicates the interpretation of experimental results and reduces the efficiency of ROS generation. Therefore, researchers have been investigating the design of a new generation of nanomaterial-based photosensitizers (nanophotosensitizers) with improved photostability and higher singlet oxygen generation efficiency, as well as methods to improve the performance of existing photosensitizers.

[0004] However, most current clinical photodynamic therapy drugs are based on a Type-II photosensitization mechanism, which is highly oxygen-dependent, resulting in a very limited effectiveness of PDT against hypoxic solid tumors. Therefore, achieving effective therapeutic effects of photosensitizers within hypoxic solid tumors remains a major challenge in the clinical application of PDT. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative and its preparation method and application. The present invention prepares a fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative with oxygen-carrying function through nucleophilic substitution and solid-phase synthesis, wherein perfluorocarbon is chemically covalently linked to the tin phthalocyanine side chain, so that the prepared fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative has oxygen-carrying function, and the singlet oxygen yield and photostability are effectively improved. In addition, by pegylation of the fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative, it can self-assemble in water to form stable nanoparticles, and exhibits excellent performance in terms of singlet oxygen yield, photostability, solution stability and oxygen carrying capacity, and has good application prospects in hypoxic photodynamic tumor treatment.

[0006] The first aspect of the present invention provides a fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative having the following general structural formula:

[0007]

[0008] Where R is x is an integer from 5 to 7.

[0009] The present invention covalently links a perfluorocarbon (R) to a tin phthalocyanine side chain, resulting in a photosensitizer with oxygen-carrying functionality, high singlet oxygen yield, and excellent photostability. The main reasons for this are as follows: 1. The strong binding affinity between the fluorine atoms in the perfluorocarbon and oxygen gives the fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative prepared in this invention its oxygen-carrying capacity; 2. The fluorine atoms alter the electron cloud density on the phthalocyanine ring. Fluorination modification along the phthalocyanine axis, with its highly electronegative fluorine atoms, sensitizes the fluorescence quantum yield and extends the fluorescence lifetime, facilitating the binding of excited-state phthalocyanine with oxygen, thereby increasing singlet oxygen yield. 3. Singlet oxygen attack on phthalocyanine is the primary factor affecting its stability. The conjugated π-bond system of the phthalocyanine ring is sensitive to oxygen molecules, which can react with the bridging nitrogen atoms. In the absence of light, the phthalocyanine molecule does not oxidize. However, upon illumination, the excited-state molecular reactivity is sufficiently high to promote oxidation of the phthalocyanine, forming phthalimide. Furthermore, the presence of a benzene ring and an electron donor accelerates the decomposition of phthalocyanine. Therefore, the fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative provided by the present invention not only has an oxygen-carrying function, but also effectively improves the singlet oxygen yield and photostability.

[0010] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative described in the first aspect, comprising the following steps:

[0023] Furthermore, the fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative, a product of the heating reaction, was washed and purified using 1 M hydrochloric acid and 1 M sodium hydroxide in sequence.

[0024] The third aspect of the present invention provides a nano photosensitizer, wherein the preparation method of the nano photosensitizer comprises the following steps:

[0025] S1: reacting the fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative described in the first aspect with polyethylene glycol in the presence of an acid-binding agent and a solvent to obtain a PEGylated fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative;

[0026] S2: self-assembling the PEGylated fluorinated tin phthalocyanine derivative prepared in S1 in water to obtain the nano photosensitizer.

[0027] Furthermore, in S1, the acid binding agent is selected from one or more of pyridine, anhydrous potassium carbonate, and sodium hydride, more preferably sodium hydride.

[0028] Furthermore, in S1, the solvent is selected from one or more of toluene, 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene, and N,N'-dimethylformamide.

[0029] Furthermore, the general structural formula of the polyethylene glycol is as follows:

[0086] Example 3

[0087] The photodynamics, oxygen carrying capacity or photostability of the three fluorinated tin phthalocyanines prepared in Example 1 and the three nano-photosensitizers prepared in Example 2 were tested. The specific test process and results are shown below:

[0088] (1) Photodynamic testing

[0089] With a wavelength of 690nm LED light (50mW / cm 2 ) as a light source, through which the photosensitizer is irradiated 1 O2, and then the yield is determined by singlet oxygen capture agent DMA (organic phase) and DPBF (aqueous phase), the specific operation is as follows:

[0090] Take 1mL of self-assembled SnF with a concentration of 0.20mg / mL 20 Pc-PEG, SnF 52 Pc-PEG and SnF 60 Pc-PEG nanophotosensitizer aqueous solution and 10 μg / mL SnF 20 Pc, SnF 52 Pc and SnF 60 A solution of PC in DMF was pipetted with 20 μL of DPBF or 20 μL of DMA to measure the singlet oxygen yield of each material. The degradation rate of DPBF was measured by irradiating the solution with a 690 nm LED light for 30 seconds. The optical density at 417 nm was monitored using a UV-visible spectrophotometer until the optical density at 417 nm stabilized. A blank control was performed with water replacing the material, while all other conditions remained unchanged. Three parallel experiments were performed for each group.

[0091] Figure 8 、 Figure 9 The photodynamic test results for three fluorinated tin phthalocyanines and three nanophotosensitizers are shown. As can be seen from the figure, under 690nm wavelength illumination, the change in DPBF absorption at 417nm gradually decreases with increasing illumination time. After 5 minutes, DPBF absorption at 417nm is essentially absent, indicating that all three fluorinated tin phthalocyanines and three nanophotosensitizers have high singlet yields and can rapidly generate singlet oxygen for photodynamic tumor therapy.

[0092] (2) Oxygen carrying capacity test

[0093] The oxygen carrying capacity of the nano-photosensitizer is measured by a dissolved oxygen meter. The specific operation is as follows:

[0094] Take 5mL of self-assembled SnF with a concentration of 0.20mg / mL 20 Pc-PEG, SnF 52 Pc-PEG and SnF 60 Aqueous solutions of Pc-PEG nanophotosensitizers were aerated with oxygen for 30 minutes. The oxygen was removed, and the solution was stirred open for 10 minutes. The oxygen loading of the materials was measured using a dissolved oxygen meter. Each experiment lasted 800 seconds. A blank control group was run with water substituted for the materials, while other conditions remained unchanged. Three parallel experiments were performed for each group.

[0095] Figure 10 The oxygen carrying capacity test results of three nano-photosensitizers are shown in the figure. 20 Pc-PEG, SnF 52 Pc-PEG and SnF 60The oxygen carrying capacity of the Pc-PEG nano-photosensitizer aqueous solution is significantly higher than that without the above-mentioned nano-photosensitizer, and oxygen can be released slowly within 800 seconds. It can be seen that the nano-photosensitizer has good oxygen-carrying function and can be used for photodynamic hypoxic tumor treatment.

[0096] (3) Light stability test

[0097] With a wavelength of 690nm LED light (50mW / cm 2 ) as a light source, and determine whether its absorbance at around 700 nm decreases by UV-visible spectroscopy. The specific operation is as follows:

[0098] Take 1mL of 10μg / mL SnF 20 Pc, SnF 52 Pc and SnF 60 A DMF solution of Pc was added to a quartz cuvette. Irradiation was performed using a 690 nm LED light for 10-minute intervals. The absorbance at 700 nm was monitored using a UV-visible spectrophotometer to measure the degradation rate of fluorinated tin phthalocyanine. A blank control was performed using water instead of the sample, while other conditions remained unchanged. Three parallel experiments were performed for each group.

[0099] Figure 11 The results of the photostability test of three fluorinated tin phthalocyanines are shown in the figure. As can be seen from the figure, under 690nm wavelength light, with the increase of illumination time, the absorbance of the three fluorinated tin phthalocyanines at around 700nm has a downward trend, but SnF 60 The absorbance of Pc at around 700 nm decreased slowly. After 60 minutes, only a small part of it was photodegraded. 60 Pc has high photostability and is a photostable material that can be used in hypoxia photodynamic therapy.
