Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedical materials, and in particular relates to a new use of 8-aminoguanosine and an injectable hydrogel prepared therefrom. Background Art
[0002] Periodontal disease is a chronic infectious disease of periodontal tissue caused by plaque microorganisms and is one of the most prevalent oral diseases worldwide. During the development of periodontitis, virulence factors and harmful metabolites produced by bacteria induce over-activation of the host immune system, thereby causing immune response disorders and oxidative stress, which ultimately lead to the destruction of periodontal tissues, followed by loosening and even loss of teeth. In the treatment of periodontitis, anti-inflammatory treatment targeting the host immune response has been considered an effective method to control the occurrence and progression of periodontal disease.
[0003] However, currently, the immunomodulatory drugs used clinically for periodontitis are mainly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, which are usually applied to the whole body through oral and injection methods, and there are problems such as gastrointestinal reactions, allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance, and reduced effective drug concentrations caused by first-pass elimination in the liver. Therefore, the development of new immunomodulatory anti-inflammatory drugs and dosage forms with good biosafety is of great significance for the clinical treatment of periodontitis.
[0004] In order to avoid the side effects caused by systemic application of drugs, in the clinical treatment of periodontal disease, local delivery therapy is used in the form of a drug delivery system to deliver drugs directly to the subgingival or periodontal pocket to achieve therapeutic effects. It has become a common way to treat periodontal disease because of its characteristics of direct contact with periodontal tissues, maintaining high local drug concentrations through sustained release, prolonging the duration of action, and improving patient compliance. Among them, hydrogels are ideal drug delivery systems because of their similar structure and properties to the extracellular matrix. However, the particularity of the oral environment, including physiological activities such as gingival crevicular fluid flushing and chewing, makes drug-loaded hydrogels prone to dilution and drug leakage, affecting the efficacy of local treatment. Therefore, there are still challenges in developing hydrogels with high drug loading rates and stable drug encapsulation for the treatment of periodontitis.
[0005] Currently, there is a lack of injectable hydrogels with good injectability, stable drug encapsulation and high drug loading rate in the clinic, and their application in the preparation of periodontal anti-inflammatory local treatments that regulate host immune responses.

[0028] The present invention found that the compound 8-aminoguanosine (8-AG) has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-osteoclast effects. Further, an injectable supramolecular hydrogel was constructed using 8-AG, 1,4-phenylenediboronic acid (PBA) and trishydroxymethylaminomethane (Tris), and the hydrogel can inhibit the oxidative stress, inflammatory phenotype and osteoclast differentiation of macrophages in vitro by releasing 8-AG. The hydrogel was applied to a mouse periodontitis model by local injection, and it was found that the hydrogel inhibited periodontal inflammatory infiltration and tissue destruction, showing good prospects for the preparation of biomaterials for local treatment of periodontitis.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] In the following examples and experimental examples, reagents and materials not particularly described are all commercially available.
[0036] Example 1 An injectable hydrogel and its preparation method
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in a, the injectable hydrogel of this embodiment is prepared by the following method:
[0038] 0.1 mmol 8-AG was dissolved in 1 mL deionized water, 0.05 mmol PBA and 0.15 mmol Tris were added, and after heating to completely dissolve the mixture, heating was stopped, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, and allowed to stand for 5-30 min to obtain 8-AG-PBA hydrogel.
[0039] Example 2 An injectable hydrogel and its preparation method
[0040] The preparation method described in Example 1 was followed, except that 8-AG was 0.025 mmol, PBA was 0.008 mmol, and Tris was 0.03 mmol.
[0041] Example 3 An injectable hydrogel and its preparation method
[0042] The preparation method described in Example 1 was followed, except that 8-AG was 0.15 mmol, PBA was 0.1 mmol, and Tris was 0.5 mmol.
[0043] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below through experiments. The samples tested in the following experimental examples are all prepared by the method of Example 1.
[0044] Experimental Example 1 Formation of 8-AG-PBA hydrogel
[0045] 1. Experimental Methods
[0046] 1. Vial inversion experiment
[0047] According to the preparation method of Example 1, a 200 μM 8-AG-PBA hydrogel was prepared in a transparent glass vial, and after the hydrogel was cooled and allowed to stand, the vial was inverted.
[0048] 2. Rheological test (amplitude sweep, frequency sweep)
[0049] 1 mL of 8-AG-PBA hydrogel was heated to form a clear transparent solution, transferred to a rotational rheometer test bench preheated to 65°C, cooled to 25°C to form a hydrogel, and tested using a 25 mm diameter plate. Amplitude scan: angular frequency (ω) was set to 1 rad / s, strain (γ) range: 0.1%-100%; frequency scan: γ = 0.1%, ω was 100 rad / s-0.1 rad / s, linear change. All tests were performed at 25°C.
[0050] 2. Experimental Results
[0051] The vial was inverted. Figure 1 As shown in b: After the vial was inverted, 8-AG-PBA did not flow down the vial wall, proving the formation of the hydrogel and remained stable after 6 months. The frequency sweep experiment results at a constant strain of 0.1% are shown in Figure 1 c: Throughout the measurement process, the storage modulus G' is always higher than the loss modulus G", indicating that the 8-AG-PBA hydrogel exhibits solid-like behavior within the applied frequency range. The strain sweep experiment is shown in Figure 1 As shown in (d), as the strain increases to about 6%, the behavior of 8-AG-PBA hydrogel changes from a quasi-solid state (G'>G") to a quasi-liquid state (G">G'), indicating that the supramolecular cross-linking in the hydrogel is destroyed, causing the originally stable hydrogel structure to transform into a sol.
[0052] The above results show that 8-AG, PBA and Tris can be used to prepare hydrogels and realize the transformation from gel to sol.
[0053] Experimental Example 2 Shear-thinning injectability of 8-AG-PBA hydrogel
[0054] 1. Experimental Methods
[0055] 1. Rheological tests (self-healing, shear thinning)
[0056] 1 mL of 8-AG-PBA hydrogel was heated to form a clear and transparent solution, which was transferred to a rotational rheometer test bench preheated to 65°C, cooled to 25°C to form a hydrogel, and tested using a 25 mm diameter plate. Self-healing test: ω = 1 rad / s, γ was set to 0.1% to keep the sample in a stable gel state, then the strain was rapidly increased from 0.1% to 100%, and after a certain period of time, the strain was reduced from 100% to 0.1%, and the cycle was repeated 3 times. Shear thinning test: Shear rate scanning was used to determine the fluidity of the hydrogel, ω = 1 rad / s, and the shear rate was gradually increased from 0.1 / s to 100 / s.
[0057] 2. In vitro injection experiment
[0058] Heat 1 mL of 8-AG-PBA hydrogel to form a clear and transparent solution, aspirate it into a 1 mL syringe, and let it stand at room temperature to form a gel. Inject the 8-AG-PBA hydrogel into a vial, and immediately invert the vial for observation. If the hydrogel does not flow down the vial wall, it can be considered that the hydrogel has been successfully injected.
[0059] 3. In vivo injection experiment
[0060] Female BALB / c mice aged 5-6 weeks were used for subcutaneous injection experiments. Six mice were kept in each cage. The mice were kept in an environment with a temperature of 22-26°C and a 12-hour day and night alternation. Water and food were provided for free drinking and eating. All mice were fed for 1 week before the experiment to adapt to the surrounding environment. After shaving the back of the mouse with a small animal shaver and depilatory cream, the pre-prepared 8-AG-PBA hydrogel was injected subcutaneously into the back of the mouse with a syringe, and 50 μL was injected into each mouse. The mice were killed by overdose of anesthesia at 0h, 24h, and 48h, respectively, the back skin was peeled off, and the injected hydrogel was observed.
[0061] 2. Experimental Results
[0062] Rheological test results are as follows Figure 2 As shown in Figures 2a and 2b: In three consecutive damage-repair cycles, 8-AG-PBA hydrogels stably and rapidly self-repaired with only a small loss of storage modulus, indicating that 8-AG-PBA hydrogels have good self-repair properties. When 8-AG-PBA hydrogels were squeezed out of the syringe, they changed from a gel state to a liquid-like state, which is consistent with the rheological test results, indicating that 8-AG-PBA hydrogels have shear-thinning properties. The results of the in vitro injection experiment are shown in Figure 2a. Figure 2 c: 8-AG-PBA hydrogel can be easily injected into the vial by a syringe. After the injection, the vial is immediately inverted and the hydrogel will not flow down the vial wall, which proves the rapid self-healing ability and good injectability of 8-AG-PBA hydrogel. Figure 2 As shown in d: The 8-AG-PBA hydrogel injected subcutaneously can be clearly observed with the naked eye. The volume of the hydrogel injected subcutaneously gradually decreases over time until it is completely unobservable after 48 hours.
[0063] The above results indicate that 8-AG-PBA hydrogel has rapid self-healing ability and good injectability, and can be injected into the body.

[0090] 2. Experimental Results
[0091] The results of in vitro release experiments were Figure 3As shown in a and 3b: At 37°C, 8-AG-PBA hydrogel incubated in PBS continuously releases 8-AG, with about 40% released at the 120h time point. Figure 3 c, 3d show: 8-AG and 8-AG-PBA hydrogels can effectively inhibit LPS-induced oxidative stress. Nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and its product nitric oxide (NO) are markers of LPS-induced macrophage inflammatory activation. The results are shown in Figure 3d. Figure 3 e, 3f: 8-AG and 8-AG-PBA hydrogels have an inhibitory effect on LPS-induced iNOS overexpression and the production of product NO. At the same time, LPS stimulation causes macrophages to secrete the inflammatory factor interleukin-6 (IL-6). Figure 3 As shown in g and 3h, 8-AG and 8-AG-PBA hydrogels have an inhibitory effect on the secretion of IL-6 by macrophages. In addition, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) is an important factor in regulating osteoclastogenesis and function. Figure 3 As shown in i and 3j: 8-AG and 8-AG-PBA hydrogels significantly inhibited the differentiation of macrophages into osteoclasts.
[0092] The above results prove that 8-AG has an inhibitory effect on LPS-induced macrophage oxidative stress, inflammatory activation and inflammatory factor secretion; it also shows a significant inhibitory effect on macrophage differentiation into osteoclasts. 8-AG-PBA hydrogel can continuously release 8-AG, and also has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-osteoclast effects.
[0093] Experimental Example 4: Use of 8-AG-PBA to inhibit periodontitis tissue damage in vivo
[0094] 1. Experimental Methods
[0095] 1. Establishment of mouse periodontitis model
[0096] Six-week-old male C57BL / 6 mice were used to establish the periodontitis model. Six mice were kept in each cage. The mice were kept in an environment with a temperature of 22-26°C and a 12-hour day and night alternation. Water and food were provided for free drinking and eating. All mice were fed for 1 week before the experiment to adapt to the surrounding environment. After the mice were anesthetized by subcutaneous injection of atropine sulfate and intramuscular injection of Shutai, silk thread (6-0) was ligated at the neck of the maxillary second molar of the mice to establish the periodontitis model. Starting from the second day of silk thread ligation, for 9 consecutive days, 5 μL of 8-AG-PBA hydrogel (8-AG-PBA treatment group) or PBS (periodontitis group) was injected into the four periodontal sites (mesial gingival, distal gingival, mesial buccal, distal buccal) of the maxillary second molar of the mice by microinjection after isoflurane inhalation anesthesia every day. Mice without a periodontitis model were injected with PBS according to the above injection method as a control group. On the tenth day, mice were sacrificed by overdose of anesthesia, and maxillary bone samples were collected for subsequent analysis.
[0097] 2. Micro-CT analysis
[0098] Mouse maxillary bone samples were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 hours and scanned with micro-CT at a high resolution of 145 mA and 55 kVp, with a scan every 10 μm. Three-dimensional reconstruction was performed using micro-CT corresponding software, and statistics were performed on vertical alveolar bone resorption (cementoenamel junction-alveolar crest distance) and alveolar bone mass (bone volume fraction).
[0099] 3. H&E staining
[0100] Mouse maxillary bone samples were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 hours, decalcified with 10% EDTA solution for 30 days, dehydrated, paraffin-embedded, and sliced. After the paraffin sections were dewaxed with xylene and hydrated with gradient alcohol, they were stained with hematoxylin solution for 10 seconds and then rinsed with running water for 10 minutes. Then they were stained with eosin solution for 1 minute and rinsed for 30 seconds. Finally, after gradient alcohol dehydration, xylene was made transparent, the sections were sealed with neutral resin, and the images were scanned and analyzed with an optical microscope.
[0101] 2. Experimental Results
[0102] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown: 8-AG-PBA hydrogel significantly inhibited the vertical alveolar bone loss and alveolar bone volume reduction caused by ligation through periodontal injection. In the untreated group, silk ligation caused severe immune cell infiltration and epithelial destruction, and the treatment of 8-AG-PBA hydrogel alleviated this symptom.
[0103] The above results indicate that 8-AG-PBA hydrogel was applied to the mouse periodontitis model by local injection to inhibit periodontal inflammatory infiltration and tissue destruction.
[0104] It can be seen from the above embodiments and experimental examples that the present invention found that compound 8-AG has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-osteoclast effects. Further, an injectable supramolecular hydrogel was constructed using 8-AG, PBA and Tris, and the hydrogel can inhibit the oxidative stress, inflammatory phenotype and osteoclast differentiation of macrophages in vitro by sustained release of 8-AG. The hydrogel was applied to a mouse periodontitis model by local injection, and it was found that the hydrogel inhibited periodontal inflammatory infiltration and tissue destruction, showing good prospects for the preparation of biomaterials for local treatment of periodontitis.
