Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tumor treatment technology, and in particular to a metal polyphenol network-encapsulated calcium peroxide nanoparticle, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Despite significant advancements in our understanding of tumorigenesis and cancer treatment, cancer still accounts for 30% of global deaths due to tumor heterogeneity and multidrug resistance. Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy have long been the three conventional treatments for cancer, but their efficacy remains unsatisfactory. Novel treatment strategies such as calcium overload therapy, chemokinetics, immunotherapy, photothermal therapy, and photodynamic therapy offer more avenues for cancer treatment. However, due to the complexity of tumors, relying solely on a single novel treatment strategy often has limitations and fails to achieve optimal therapeutic effects. Therefore, the combined application of treatment strategies with different mechanisms and targets has become an important means of improving efficacy.
[0003] Existing technologies, such as the patent with publication number CN113952361A, use a combination of Prussian blue and calcium peroxide to improve the therapeutic effect on tumors. However, its tumor treatment effect is expected to be further improved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a metal polyphenol network-encapsulated calcium peroxide nanoparticle, its preparation method, and its application. The metal polyphenol network-encapsulated calcium peroxide nanoparticles prepared by this invention exhibit better tumor treatment effects.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] This invention provides a method for preparing calcium peroxide nanoparticles encapsulated in a metal polyphenol network, comprising the following steps:
[0007] (1) After mixing calcium peroxide nanoparticles, drugs and a first solvent, a chelation reaction was carried out to obtain drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles.
[0008] (2) After mixing the polymer solution and the polyphenol solution, a dehydration condensation reaction is carried out to obtain a polymer-modified polyphenol solution;
[0009] (3) The drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles obtained in step (1) are mixed with the second solvent, the polymer-modified polyphenol solution obtained in step (2) and the metal salt solution and then a coordination complexation reaction is carried out to obtain metal polyphenol network-encapsulated calcium peroxide nanoparticles.
[0010] The steps (1) and (2) are not in any particular order.
[0011] Preferably, in step (1), the mass ratio of calcium peroxide nanoparticles to drug is (10-55):1.
[0012] Preferably, the temperature of the chelation reaction in step (1) is 4 to 40°C, and the time of the chelation reaction is 1 to 48 hours.
[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of the polymer in the polymer solution and the polyphenol in the polyphenol solution in step (2) is (1-3):1.
[0014] Preferably, the temperature of the dehydration condensation reaction in step (2) is 4 to 40°C, and the time of the dehydration condensation reaction is 1 to 48 hours.
[0015] Preferably, the molar ratio of polyphenols in the polyphenol solution of step (2) to metal ions in the metal salt solution of step (3) is (0.5-10):1.
[0016] Preferably, in step (3), the molar ratio of calcium peroxide in the drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles to the metal ions in the metal salt solution is (20-50):1.
[0017] Preferably, the temperature of the coordination complexation reaction in step (3) is 4 to 40°C, and the time of the coordination complexation reaction is 1 to 48 hours.
[0018] The present invention provides a metal polyphenol network-encapsulated calcium peroxide nanoparticle prepared by the preparation method described above, comprising drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles and a metal polyphenol network encapsulating the surface of the drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles.
[0019] The present invention also provides the application of the metal polyphenol network-encapsulated calcium peroxide nanoparticles described in the above technical solution in the preparation of tumor drugs.
[0020] This invention provides a method for preparing calcium peroxide nanoparticles encapsulated in a metal polyphenol network, comprising the following steps: (1) mixing calcium peroxide nanoparticles, a drug and a first solvent and performing a chelation reaction to obtain drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles; (2) mixing a polymer solution and a polyphenol solution and performing a dehydration condensation reaction to obtain a polymer-modified polyphenol solution; (3) mixing the drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles obtained in step (1) with a second solvent, the polymer-modified polyphenol solution obtained in step (2) and a metal salt solution and performing a coordination complexation reaction to obtain calcium peroxide nanoparticles encapsulated in a metal polyphenol network; steps (1) and (2) are not in any particular order. This invention involves mixing calcium peroxide nanoparticles with a drug to obtain drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are then mixed with a metal salt solution and a polymer-modified polyphenol solution to undergo a coordination complexation reaction. This process forms an in-situ metal-polyphenol network on the surface of the drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles. The metal-polyphenols encapsulate the unstable calcium peroxide nanoparticles, preventing premature exposure and hydrolysis before reaching the lesion site and avoiding adverse reactions. Furthermore, the metal ions released from the metal-polyphenol-encapsulated calcium peroxide nanoparticles catalyze the generation of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions, thereby killing tumor cells and achieving chemokinetic therapy. Furthermore, metal ions can consume glutathione, enhance the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and thus enhance the anti-tumor efficacy. When metal polyphenol-encapsulated calcium peroxide nanoparticles are dispersed in an acidic environment, their metal polyphenol network layer rapidly degrades, exposing the calcium peroxide nanoparticles and then explosively releasing a large amount of calcium ions and oxygen, which can more effectively activate calcium overload and alleviate the hypoxic microenvironment of the tumor. The metal polyphenol network-encapsulated drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles, by loading drugs, improve the effective accumulation of drugs at the tumor site, achieving combined chemotherapy and chemokinetics, thereby activating the anti-tumor immune response and improving the anti-tumor effect. The results of the examples show that the metal polyphenol network-encapsulated drug-loaded calcium peroxide nanoparticles prepared in this invention have excellent anti-breast cancer effects.

[0094] This invention utilizes metal polyphenols to encapsulate calcium peroxide nanoparticles, protecting the unstable nanoparticles. The released metal ions catalyze the generation of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions, thereby killing tumor cells and achieving chemokinetic therapy.

When dispersed in an acidic environment, the metal polyphenol network layer rapidly degrades, exposing the calcium peroxide nanoparticles and explosively releasing large amounts of calcium ions and oxygen, more effectively activating calcium overload and alleviating the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. By loading drugs, it improves the effective accumulation of drugs at the tumor site, achieving combined chemokinetic therapy and chemotherapy, thereby activating the anti-tumor immune response and improving the anti-tumor effect.

[0156] Application Example 1
[0157] The in vitro antitumor effects of kaempferol, calcium peroxide nanoparticles prepared in step (1) of Example 12, CK nanoparticles prepared in step (2) of Example 12, and CK@PTM nanoparticles prepared in Example 18 were tested respectively: Logarithmic growth phase breast cancer 4T1 cells were taken and subjected to 2.5×10 4 Cells were seeded at a density of 100 cells / mL in 96-well cell culture plates and cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. When the cell density reached 75%, the old culture medium was discarded, and different concentrations (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 μg / mL) of fresh culture medium containing kaempferol (KAE), CaO2 nanoparticles prepared in step (1) of Example 12, CK nanoparticles prepared in step (2) of Example 12, and CK@PTM nanoparticles prepared in Example 18 were added to each experimental group, with three replicates per group. The 96-well cell culture plates were then cultured for another 24 hours. The old culture medium was discarded, and 100 μL of medium containing 10% CCK-8 was added to each well. After incubation for 2 hours, the plates were removed, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a full-wavelength microplate reader. The cell inhibition rate was calculated, and the results are as follows: Figure 11 As shown. From Figure 11 As can be seen, the cytotoxicity of all experimental groups against 4T1 cells showed a significant concentration-dependent effect. When the drug concentration was 10 μg / mL, the inhibition rates of kaempferol (KAE), CaO2 nanoparticles, CK nanoparticles, and CK@PTM nanoparticles against 4T1 cells were 15.46±3.91%, 64.89±4.00%, 83.01±1.55%, and 90.61±0.94%, respectively, indicating that CK@PTM nanoparticles have a good anti-tumor effect in vitro.
[0158] Log-phase breast cancer 4T1 cells were harvested and processed at a concentration of 2.5 × 10⁻⁶. 4Cells were seeded at a density of 100 cells / mL in 96-well cell culture plates and cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. When the cell density reached 75%, the old culture medium was discarded. Fresh culture medium was added to the experimental groups: one without calcium chelating agent and the other containing kaempferol (KAE) with 4 μg / mL calcium chelating agent (KAE concentrations were 4 μg / mL and 6 μg / mL, respectively). CaO2 nanoparticles prepared in step (1) of Example 12, CK nanoparticles prepared in step (2) of Example 12, and CK@PTM nanoparticles prepared in Example 18. Three replicates were set for each group. The 96-well cell culture plates were then cultured for another 24 hours. The old culture medium was discarded, and 100 μL of medium containing 10% CCK-8 was added to each well. After incubation for 2 hours, the absorbance of each well at 450 nm was measured using a full-wavelength microplate reader, and the cell inhibition rate was calculated. The results are as follows: Figure 12 As shown. From Figure 12 As can be seen from the data, after the addition of calcium chelating agents, the cell survival rate of all groups except the blank control group and the kaempferol group was improved, indicating that calcium overload is one of the reasons for the induced death of 4T1 cells by CaO2 nanoparticles, CK nanoparticles and CK@PTM nanoparticles.
[0159] 4T1 cells in logarithmic growth phase were harvested and treated at a rate of 3 × 10⁻⁶ cells / year. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of 10 cells / mL in 48-well plates and cultured in an incubator. When the cells reached 75% confluence, the old culture medium was removed, and fresh culture medium containing different concentrations (4 μg / mL, 6 μg / mL) of kaempferol (KAE), CaO2 nanoparticles prepared in step (1) of Example 12, CK nanoparticles prepared in step (2) of Example 12, and CK@PTM nanoparticles prepared in Example 18 was added, with 3 replicates for each group. After incubation in an incubator for 12 h, the culture medium was removed, and DCFH-DA (10 μM) staining solution was added to each well. After incubation at 37°C for 20 min, the fluorescence signal was observed under a fluorescence microscope, images were acquired and analyzed, and the results are as follows: Figure 13 As shown. From Figure 13 As can be seen, almost no green fluorescence was observed in the control group, while the kaempferol group showed a weaker green fluorescence signal, indicating that kaempferol can promote the production of ROS in 4T1 cells. Due to the dual effects of CaO2 nanoparticles and kaempferol, the fluorescence signal of the CK nanoparticle group was slightly greater than that of the CaO2 nanoparticle group, and the CK@PTM nanoparticle group showed the strongest fluorescence signal. This can be attributed to the triple effect of CaO2, kaempferol, and the metal polyphenol network.
[0160] Application Example 2
[0161] The in vivo antitumor effects of kaempferol, calcium peroxide nanoparticles prepared in step (1) of Example 12, CK nanoparticles prepared in step (2) of Example 12, and CK@PTM nanoparticles prepared in Example 18 were tested respectively: 4T1 cells in logarithmic growth phase were used, and 0.1 mL of cells with a concentration of 1.5 × 10⁻⁶ were added. 7 A cell suspension of 10 cells / mL was inoculated into the fat pad of the fourth nipple on the right side of mice. After inoculation, tumor growth was observed daily, and the major axis (a, in mm) and minor axis (b, in mm) of the mouse tumor were measured and recorded using calipers. The tumor volume was calculated using the formula V = a × b. 2 / 2, calculate the tumor volume in the mouse, and wait until the tumor volume reaches 100 mm. 3 When the tumor-bearing mice were successfully modeled, they were randomly divided into 5 groups. Each group was injected with saline, kaempferol (KAE), calcium peroxide nanoparticles prepared in step (1) of Example 12, CK nanoparticles prepared in step (2) of Example 12, and CK@PTM nanoparticles prepared in Example 18 via tail vein injection. The drugs were administered every 2 days at a dose of 2 mg / kg for a total of 7 administrations. Before each administration, the tumor volume of each group was measured and calculated using calipers, and a curve showing the change in tumor volume during treatment was plotted. After treatment, the mice were sacrificed, tumor tissue was collected, photographed, and weighed. The tumor size and body weight of different groups were compared to calculate the tumor inhibition rate. Subsequently, the tumor tissue was embedded in paraffin, and the apoptosis of tumor cells was detected by HE staining, TUNEL staining, and Ki67 staining. The in vivo antitumor effect of CK@PTM nanoparticles was investigated, and the results were as follows: Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown. From Figure 14 As can be seen, the relative tumor volume of mice in all groups showed an increasing trend, but the growth rate differed. The saline (Control) group showed the most rapid growth, followed by the kaempferol (KAE) group. There was no significant difference in growth rate between the CaO2 nanoparticle group and the CK nanoparticle group. The CK@PTM group showed the slowest growth, indicating that CK@PTM nanoparticles have a good inhibitory effect on tumor growth. Figure 15The results of HE staining showed that the tumor cells in the saline (Control) group had a high density, intact cell morphology, and good growth status. The kaempferol (KAE) group showed some degree of nuclear shrinkage and karyolysis. The CaO2 nanoparticle group, CK nanoparticle group, and CK@PTM nanoparticle group all showed large-area karyolysis and atrophy, with the CK@PTM nanoparticle group showing the most severe tumor tissue damage. Ki67 staining results showed that the saline (Control) group contained a large number of proliferating tumor cells, accounting for 63.30±4.30%. The proportion of brownish cells in the kaempferol (KAE) group was significantly reduced, with a small number of proliferating tumor cells present. The proportion of proliferating tumor cells was 36.63±2.07%; almost no proliferating cells were found in the CaO2 nanoparticle group, CK nanoparticle group, and CK@PTM nanoparticle group, indicating that CK@PTM nanoparticles can significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation. TUNEL staining results showed that only a small number of apoptotic tumor cells were present in the saline (Control) group. Compared with the control group, the number of apoptotic tumor cells was significantly increased in the kaempferol (KAE) group. A large number of apoptotic tumor cells were present in the CaO2 nanoparticle group, CK nanoparticle group, and CK@PTM nanoparticle group, accounting for 81.77±3.82%, which was consistent with the results of HE staining and TUNEL staining. These results indicate that CK@PTM nanoparticles can significantly inhibit tumor cell proliferation and have a strong tumor-killing effect.
