Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparation preparation, and specifically relates to an amphotericin B nanocomposite and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Amphotericin B (AmB) is a broad-spectrum, potent polyene antifungal drug that has long been the "gold standard" for the treatment of invasive fungal infections. However, it can cause nephrotoxicity, hemolytic toxicity, electrolyte disturbances, and infusion-related adverse reactions in clinical applications, which limits its application. Currently, the main commercial preparations include amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmB-D), amphotericin B liposomes (L-AmB, Ambisome), amphotericin B colloidal dispersion (ABCD), and amphotericin B lipid complex (ABLC). These preparations have significant differences in microstructure, physicochemical properties, in vivo metabolism, and adverse reactions. Among them, L-AmB preparations have strong binding force between drugs and carrier materials, high stability, and low acute toxicity. At present, only ABCD generic drugs are on the market in China, while L-AmB generic drugs are still in the application stage.

[0003] Due to the difference in carrier materials, the UV-visible absorption graphs of various amphotericin B preparation solutions are obviously different, but they all contain 4 main absorption peaks, of which 320-330nm and 330-340nm are soluble aggregates, 340-350nm are non-covalently bound dimers or polymers, and 410-420nm are characteristic absorptions in the form of monomers. Therefore, the ratio of the absorption peak intensities at 320-330nm and 410-420nm is used as an indicator to measure the aggregation degree of amphotericin B molecules. DSPG and amphotericin B molecules in Ambisome form a highly aggregated state, with a maximum absorption peak at around 320nm. The maximum absorption peak of the aggregate formed by cholesterol sulfate and amphotericin B molecules in ABCD shifts to the right to around 330nm. Polyethylene glycol-phosphatidylethanolamine and amphotericin B molecules can form different forms such as monomers, dimers or polymers. Studies have found that the acute toxicity of each preparation is related to the aggregate form of drug molecules. Acute toxicity tests on mice found that when Ambisome was administered at a dose of 60 mg / kg or above (up to 100 mg / kg), no mice died within 2 weeks after a single administration, while other commercially available preparations could cause death in mice at a dose of 20 mg / kg, and some preparations could even cause death in mice at a low dose of 1 mg / kg.

[0004] As a classic L-AmB preparation, Ambisome has obvious advantages over other preparations in improving the hemolytic toxicity, cytotoxicity and acute toxicity of drugs. Among them, the highly aggregated form formed by DSPG phospholipids and amphotericin B molecules is crucial. Limited by the difficulty of substituting DSPG and the high price, as well as the complex preparation process, it is of great significance to develop a liposomal preparation of amphotericin B with high cost performance and beneficial to patients. After a large number of experiments, we screened a sphingosine-coupled polyethylene glycol carrier material, which can not only promote the solubility of amphotericin B in organic solvents, but also form a highly aggregated form similar to Ambisome with amphotericin B molecules, thereby achieving efficient drug encapsulation, delaying the release rate of drugs, effectively reducing the hemolytic toxicity, renal cytotoxicity and acute toxicity of amphotericin B, prolonging the circulation time of drugs in the blood, reducing the distribution of drugs in tissues and organs, and having good antifungal activity in vivo and in vitro. In addition, the preparation method of the amphotericin B nanocomplex is simple, and it can be prepared into a liposomal preparation, which is very feasible for product development.

[0046] Weigh 1g MPEG 2000 -NHS, 317mg phytosphingosine and 101mg triethylamine were dissolved in 20ml of a mixed solvent with a volume ratio of methanol: dichloromethane = 1:1, stirred at 30°C for 6h under N2 protection, and the solvent was evaporated to obtain the reactant, and 5ml of a mixed solution with a volume ratio of dichloromethane: methanol = 7:1 was added to dissolve the reactant for column chromatography.

The reactant was separated and purified by column chromatography, the eluent was collected, the solvent was evaporated, and vacuum dried to obtain a sphingosine-coupled polyethylene glycol carrier, which 1 H NMR (400MHz) spectrum is attached Figure 1 shown.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Preparation of an amphotericin B nanocomplex based on sphingosine coupled to a polyethylene glycol carrier specifically comprises the following steps:

[0049] 100 mg of amphotericin B and 250 mg of sphingosine-coupled polyethylene glycol carrier were weighed and dispersed in 130 ml of a mixed solvent with a volume ratio of methanol: dichloromethane = 1:1, 2.8 ml of 0.1 mol / l dilute hydrochloric acid was added until the drug was dissolved, and then 45 ml of a solution of hydrogenated soybean phosphatidylcholine (426 mg) and cholesterol (106 mg) dissolved in a mixed solvent with a volume ratio of methanol: dichloromethane = 1:1 was added, mixed evenly, and the solvent was removed by reduced pressure evaporation at 60°C, and then 20 ml of a 10% triethanolamine aqueous solution preheated to 60°C was added to adjust the pH of the solution to 5-6, and a suspension was obtained after stirring and dispersing at 60°C for 2 hours, and an amphotericin B nanocomposite solution was obtained after high-pressure homogenization. Then 1.8 g of trehalose was added to dissolve and clarify, and after mixing evenly, it was filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane, and the filtrate was collected and freeze-dried to obtain amphotericin B nanocomposite freeze-dried powder.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] The performance of the amphotericin B nanocomplex prepared in Example 2 was tested:

[0052] 1. Particle size and zeta potential determination of amphotericin B nanocomplexes

[0053] Weigh 10 mg of amphotericin B nanocomplex lyophilized powder, add pure water to reconstitute and dilute to a certain concentration, draw an appropriate amount of sample into the sample pool, and use Malvern laser particle size analyzer to measure its particle size and potential. The average particle size of the nanocomplex is 133.53 nm, and the Zeta potential is 0.95 mV.

[0054] 2. Determination of encapsulation efficiency and drug loading of amphotericin B nanocomplexes

[0055] Weigh 5 mg of amphotericin B nanocomplex lyophilized powder into a 25 ml volumetric flask, add 1 ml of DMSO for ultrasonic dispersion, then add methanol to dilute to the mark, and use HPLC to determine the content of amphotericin B in the solution. The drug loading (LC) and encapsulation efficiency (EE) calculation formulas are: drug loading (LC, %) = encapsulated drug mass / mass of drug-loaded liposomes × 100; encapsulation efficiency (EE, %) = encapsulated drug mass / feed drug mass × 100. The measurement results show that the encapsulation efficiency of amphotericin B nanocomplex is 93.01 ± 0.73%, and the drug loading is 3.48 ± 0.34%.

[0056] 3. UV-visible absorption spectrum measurement

[0057] Weigh appropriate amounts of amphotericin B nanocomplex lyophilized powder, domestic ABCD preparation, and imported Ambisome preparation, add pure water to reconstitute and dilute to a certain concentration, place in a UV-visible spectrophotometer for detection, and set the scanning wavelength range to 300-450nm. The measurement results are shown in the attached Figure 2 As shown, compared with Ambisome, the maximum absorption peak of ABCD shifts to the right, while the maximum absorption peak position of the amphotericin B nanocomplex prepared by us is consistent with that of Ambisome, reflecting a similar highly aggregated state.

[0058] 4. In vitro drug release study

[0059] Amphotericin B nanocomplex, ABCD domestic preparation and Ambisome imported preparation solution with a concentration of 1 μg / ml were prepared respectively, placed in a shaker at 37°C, and the UV-visible absorption curve was scanned at 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours, with a wavelength range of 300-450 nm. The ratio (a / b) of the maximum absorption peak intensities at 320-340 nm (a) and 400-420 nm (b) was calculated. The change in the absorption peak ratio reflects the process of amphotericin B from aggregates to monomers, that is, the release process. As can be seen from the results (see Appendix Figure 3 ), the release process of the above preparations is biphasic, with a faster release in the first hour and then gradually slowing down. The cumulative amount of amphotericin B nanocomplex in 24 hours is close to that of Ambisome, while the release rate of ABCD is faster, with a cumulative release rate of 85.7% in 24 hours.

[0060] 5. In vitro hemolysis test

[0061] Weigh the amphotericin B nanocomplex lyophilized powder and ABCD preparation respectively, reconstitute with pure water and dilute to different drug concentrations with 5% glucose solution, then mix evenly with 2% red blood cell suspension at a volume ratio of 1:1, pure water plus 2% red blood cell suspension as positive control, 5% glucose solution plus 2% red blood cell suspension as negative control, the final drug concentration of the sample solution is 800, 400, 200, 100, 50, 25 and 12.5 μg / ml, the mixed sample is placed in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 3 hours, then take out the sample and centrifuge at 2000rpm for 10 minutes, observe the hemolysis of red blood cells, and take 200 μl of supernatant to measure the absorbance value, and set the wavelength to 574nm. Hemolysis rate (%) = (A sample-A negative control) / (A positive control-A negative control).

[0062] The experimental results showed that the amphotericin B nanocomplex had no hemolytic toxicity at a drug concentration of 800 μg / ml or less, while obvious hemolysis was observed in the ABCD group. At a drug concentration of 400 μg / ml, the in vitro hemolysis rate of ABCD reached 22.6%, and when the concentration increased to 800 μg / ml, its hemolysis rate was as high as 100%. This result shows that the nanocomplex can significantly reduce the hemolytic toxicity of amphotericin B.

[0063] 6. In vitro pharmacodynamic evaluation

[0064] Amphotericin B nanocomplex lyophilized powder and ABCD preparation were weighed separately, reconstituted with pure water and diluted to different drug concentrations with 5% glucose solution. 40 μl of preparation solution was added to a 96-well plate, and then 160 μl of bacterial solution (1.25×10 3CFU / ml), the final concentrations of the drugs in the wells were 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 μg / ml, respectively. A negative control well was set up with bacteria but no drug, and a positive control well was set up with drug but no bacteria. The 96-well plate was placed in a 30°C constant temperature incubator for culture, and the fungal growth was observed after 48 hours. It can be seen from the experimental results (Table 1) that the amphotericin B nanocomplex has a good in vitro antifungal effect.

[0065] Table 1 Evaluation of in vitro antifungal activity

[0066]

[0067] 7. Evaluation of renal cell toxicity

[0068] Weigh the amphotericin B nanocomplex lyophilized powder and ABCD preparation respectively, reconstitute with pure water and dilute to different drug concentrations with 5% glucose solution. Weigh amphotericin B dissolved in DMSO and dilute to different drug concentrations with 5% glucose solution. Weigh HK-2 cells with good growth, aspirate 160μl of cell suspension and add it to a 96-well plate, with 3000 cells in each well. The plated cells were cultured in a 37°C incubator for 24h, and then 40μl of preparation solution was added. The final concentration of the drug in the well was 200-3.125μg / ml. After the 96-well plate was cultured in a 37°C incubator for 24h, MTT (20μl) with a concentration of 5mg / ml was added. After incubation in the incubator for 4h, the solution in the well was removed, 150μl of DMSO solution was added, and the OD value was measured in an ELISA reader with the wavelength set to 490nm.

[0069] The experimental results showed that amphotericin B had strong renal cytotoxicity with an IC50 range of 6.25 to 12.25 μg / ml, while amphotericin B nanocomplex and ABCD did not show renal cytotoxicity at concentrations as high as 200 μg / ml, indicating that the nanocomplex can significantly reduce the renal cytotoxicity of amphotericin B.

[0070] 8. Acute toxicity test

[0071] Healthy KM mice were randomly divided into groups of 6 mice each. The drug was injected into the tail vein of the mice at a dose of 40 mg / kg. The symptoms of the mice in each group and the deaths within 14 days were observed and recorded. Using the commercially available ABCD preparation as a control, 2 mice in the amphotericin B nanocomplex group died within one week, and 3 mice in the ABCD group died (see attached). Figure 4 ). When the dosage was within the range of 5-30 mg / kg, no mice died.

[0072] 9. In vivo pharmacodynamic evaluation in mice

[0073] Cryptococcal fungal load experiment in mice: Cryptococcus neoformans H99 was injected into the tail vein to establish a mouse lung and brain fungal infection model. The specific method is as follows:

[0074] (1) Absorb the H99 Cryptococcus culture (5×10 6 CFU / ml), and the model was established by injecting bacterial solution into the tail vein of KM mice (dose 100μl / 20g). 24h after infection, amphotericin B nanocomplex solution and control commercial ABCD preparation were injected into the tail vein, once a day, for 3 consecutive times, with a dose of 5mg / kg. 24h after the third administration, the mice were dissected on a sterile operating table, the lungs and brain tissues were removed, washed with sterilized PBS, and dried with filter paper. PBS was added according to the weight of lung or brain tissue and PBS mass volume ratio of 1:3 (g / ml), and then homogenized and diluted. 50μl was drawn and spread on YPD solid culture medium, placed in a 30℃ incubator for 48h, and the fungal growth in each culture plate was observed, and the colony count was performed.

[0075] From the attached Figure 5 It can be seen that compared with the untreated model group, the amphotericin B nanocomplex has obvious antifungal activity and significantly reduces the number of fungi in the lungs and brain of mice, and there is no significant difference in the therapeutic effect with the commercially available ABCD preparation.

[0076] In vivo Candida albicans fungal load experiment in mice: The mouse kidney fungal infection model was established by tail vein injection of Candida albicans ATCC 90028. The entire experimental method was the same as the Cryptococcal fungal load experiment. The results are shown in the attached Figure 6 Compared with the untreated model group, the amphotericin B nanocomplex had significant antifungal activity and significantly reduced the number of fungi in the kidneys of mice, and there was no significant difference in the therapeutic effect with the commercially available ABCD preparation.

[0077] The above results show that the amphotericin B nanocomplex prepared by the present invention has good in vivo antifungal activity.

[0078] In summary, the present invention obtains a sphingosine-coupled polyethylene glycol carrier, and uses the carrier to encapsulate amphotericin B to form a nanocomposite, and the highly aggregated form thereof can delay the release rate of the drug, effectively reduce the hemolytic toxicity, renal cell toxicity and acute toxicity of amphotericin B, and has good in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity. In addition, the present invention also provides a sphingosine-coupled polyethylene glycol carrier and a method for preparing an amphotericin B nanocomposite based on the carrier, and the prepared amphotericin B nanocomposite has broad market prospects in the treatment of systemic deep fungal infections.
