Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nanomedicine, and in particular to a method for preparing nanoparticles based on a conjugate of pB (i.e., phenylboronic acid polymer) and ASD (i.e., Akebia saponin D), and application of the method for preparing nanoparticles based on the conjugate of pB and ASD in metabolic diseases. Background Art

[0002] Akebia saponin D (ASD) is a type of triterpenoid saponin extracted from the root of the Chinese herbal medicine Dipsacus asper. ASD can play a role in anti-metabolic syndrome, prevent atherosclerosis, reduce non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, prevent diabetic nephropathy, and fight osteoporosis. However, studies have found that ASD has a low bioavailability (0.025%) and a short half-life (2.54 hours), and its rapid body clearance seriously restricts its in vivo therapeutic effect. Therefore, by improving the bioavailability of Akebia saponin D and extending its half-life, it is expected to improve its in vivo efficacy.

[0003] Nano drug delivery systems have shown great advantages in improving drug bioavailability and delivery efficiency. Nanocarriers can not only protect drugs and reduce the impact of defense mechanisms in the body, but also have good stability and drug loading capacity. At present, common drug loading strategies for nano delivery systems include: first, through hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions in water-oil systems, using carriers such as polymers and liposomes to encapsulate drugs in the core of nanoparticles; second, through the covalent binding of drugs and polymers to form polymer-drug conjugates, and then self-assemble to form nanoparticles to improve drug loading efficiency and nanoparticle stability; third, through the covalent and non-covalent binding of drugs and drugs, carrier-free nano drugs are formed. At present, the main obstacles to the clinical transformation of nano drugs are low drug loading rate, lack of controlled drug release, and biosafety. Therefore, designing nanoparticle carrier systems with high drug loading rate and controllable drug release capacity will be an important platform to circumvent many problems that plague nano therapy.

[0004] Oral administration has the advantages of convenient administration, good patient compliance, and high safety. It is the most commonly used method of administration in clinical practice. However, oral administration must go through the harsh gastrointestinal tract (GIT) barrier. On the one hand, the GIT environment is acidic and rich in a large number of enzymes, which makes the drug easily degraded and ineffective after oral administration into the GIT. On the other hand, the surface of the intestinal epithelial tissue is covered with a mucus layer, and the intestinal epithelial cells are tightly connected. This mucus barrier and cell barrier seriously hinder the penetration and absorption of nanomedicines in the intestine. In order to overcome the GIT barrier, researchers have developed a series of oral nanomedicines. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) coatings and zwitterionic nanocarriers have significant advantages in overcoming the mucus barrier by reducing the interaction between nanomedicines and mucus proteins. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for preparing nanoparticles based on the conjugate of pB and ASD, which prepares nanoparticles with high stability and high drug loading rate, and uses PEG coating modification to efficiently cross the gastrointestinal barrier, thereby improving the oral bioavailability and delivery efficiency of ASD, reducing toxic side effects, and improving the therapeutic effect of ASD on metabolic diseases.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: the preparation method of the pB and ASD conjugate nanoparticles comprises the following steps:

[0007] (1) Synthesis of phenylboronic acid derivative monomer B;

[0008] (2) synthesizing phenylboronic acid polymer pB by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT), the main chain of which contains phenylboronic acid groups;

[0009] (3) pB and ASD are connected by forming a phenylboronic acid ester bond with the sugar ring on ASD to form a pB-ASD conjugate. Due to its amphiphilicity, pB-ASD self-assembles to form nanoparticles PB@ASD NPs, where ASD is Akebia saponin D.

[0010] (4) Add PEG aqueous solution into PB@ASD NPs to modify the PEG coating through electrostatic interaction to obtain the final nanoparticles CPB@ASD NPs.

[0011] The CPB@ASD NPs of the present invention have a narrow and adjustable particle size distribution, high ASD loading efficiency and stability, can efficiently cross the gastrointestinal barrier, increase intestinal absorption, protect the activity of ASD during circulation and transportation to target organs or tissues, reduce toxic side effects, and improve drug delivery efficiency. In a mouse metabolic-related fatty liver disease model, compared with the same dose of small molecule ASD, CPB@ASD NPs showed significantly enhanced therapeutic effects on metabolic-related fatty liver disease and obesity, and can significantly improve dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance.

[0012] Also provided is an application of nanoparticles based on the pB and ASD conjugate, which is used in preparing drugs for treating metabolism-related fatty liver disease and obesity.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

Stir thoroughly to promote dissolution. Slowly add sodium hydroxide solution (4 mol / L) to adjust the pH value to about 10.5, stir thoroughly until fully dissolved, and place the system in an ice bath.

Add anhydrous sodium sulfate to remove moisture, and obtain (3-acrylamide phenyl) boronic acid monomer (B) after suction filtration, rotary evaporation, and vacuum drying.

[0044] Figure 2The synthetic route of phenylboronic acid polymer pB (4-((3-borylphenyl)amino)-3-((((dodecylthio)carbonylthio)methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanoic acid). The phenylboronic acid polymer was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). 3.8 mg of 2-(dodecyltrithiocarbonate)-2-methylpropionic acid (DDMAT), 0.4 mg of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and 100 mg of (3-acrylamidophenyl)boronic acid were weighed into a flask, and dimethyl sulfoxide was added and stirred to dissolve. Nitrogen was introduced into the flask to remove oxygen in the system. The flask was placed at 65 o C oil bath for 24 hours. Collect the solution in the flask, place it in a dialysis bag with a molecular weight of 3500 for 48 hours, collect the solution in the dialysis bag, and dry it to obtain phenylboronic acid polymer (pB). The molar ratio of monomer B and DDMAT can be 30-200:1. In this case, the molar ratio of monomer B and DDMAT is 50:1.

[0045] Figure 3 The synthetic route of the conjugate of phenylboronic acid polymer and akebia saponin D is as follows. 5 mg pB and 15 mg ASD are weighed into a sample bottle, 1 mL dimethyl sulfoxide is added to dissolve, and the mixture is stirred and reacted for 4 hours at room temperature to obtain a conjugate of pB and ASD (pB-ASD). The mass ratio of pB to ASD is preferably, but not limited to, 1:3.

[0046] Slowly add 10 mL of deionized water to the pB-ASD and stir while adding. After the addition is completed, continue stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes to obtain pB-ASD conjugate nanoparticles (PB@ASD NPs). Take 4 mL of pB-ASD conjugate nanoparticles and slowly add 4 mL of NH 2 -PEG-NH 2 (MW: 2000, 1 mg / mL) aqueous solution was added dropwise while stirring. After the addition was completed, stirring was continued at room temperature for 30 minutes. Finally, the obtained emulsion was placed in a dialysis bag and dialyzed in deionized water for 48 hours. The emulsion in the dialysis bag was collected to obtain the final nanoparticles (CPB@ASD NPs). The particle size and potential were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS).

[0047] The following describes the oral administration of nanoparticles to treat mice with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease.

[0048] (1) Construction of a mouse model of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease: C57BL / 6 mice were used as experimental subjects. After acclimatization to the environment in an SPF-level standardized animal center for one week, the mice were fed a high-fat and high-sugar diet (D12492 high-fat feed; 5% fructose in drinking water) for 8 weeks to construct a mouse model of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease.

[0049] (2) Oral administration of nanoparticles: CPB@ASD NPs were administered by oral gavage, with a dose of 75 mg / kg of akebia saponin D, once a day for 12 weeks. The control group was given an equal dose of akebia saponin D and saline at the same time.

[0050] (3) Evaluation method: The glucose tolerance test (GTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were used to test the glucose tolerance and insulin resistance of mice. After the treatment cycle, the mice in each group were weighed. The mice were euthanized and the blood and liver of the mice were separated. The liver was weighed and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E). The plasma of the mouse blood was separated and blood biochemical tests were performed, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (CHO).

[0051] The H NMR spectrum of B is Figure 4 As shown. The peaks at δ = 5.73–5.75, 6.27–6.43, 6.43–6.45 are respectively attributed to the peaks of the three hydrogen protons in the double bond of the acryloyl group. δ = 7.29-7.30, 7.50-7.51, 7.82,7.83 are respectively attributed to the peaks of the four hydrogen protons in the benzene ring. δ = 7.89-8.09 is attributed to the peaks of the two hydrogen protons in phenylboronic acid. δ = 10.07-10.12 is attributed to the peaks of the hydrogen protons in the imino group. The above results indicate the successful synthesis of B.

[0052] The H NMR spectrum of pB is as follows Figure 5 As shown. The three packets in the range of δ = 7.04-7.67 belong to the peaks of hydrogen protons in the benzene ring, the peak at δ = 8.62 belongs to the peak of hydrogen protons in phenylboronic acid, and the peak at δ = 9.61 belongs to the peak of hydrogen protons in the imino group. The above results indicate the successful synthesis of pB. After calculation, the degree of polymerization of B is about 30.

[0053] Figure 6 The particle size, potential and polydispersity index (PDI) of the nanoparticles are shown. DLS results show that the particle size of CPB@ASD NPs is about 280.0 nm, the potential is about -17.0 mV, and the PDI is about 0.06. Compared with PB@ASD NPs, the particle size of CPB@ASD NPs is significantly increased, and the potential and PDI do not change significantly.

[0054] Figure 7 The standard curve of ASD and the drug loading rate of ASD in CPB@ASD NPs. The standard curve of ASD determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is y = 4.213*X+30.78, R2 =0.9997, with a good linear relationship. The drug loading rate of ASD in CPB@ASD NPs was calculated to be 32.6%.

[0055] After treatment, the mouse livers were isolated, photographed, weighed, and the liver index was calculated ( Figure 8 , Fig. 9 ). The results showed that compared with mice on a normal diet (Control), the livers of mice in the HFFD group were significantly enlarged, fatty liver was severe, and liver weight, mouse body weight, and liver index increased significantly. After treatment with ASD and CPB@ASD NPs, the livers of mice were significantly reduced, the body weight was significantly reduced, and fatty liver was significantly improved. Compared with the small molecule ASD group, the various indicators of mice in the CPB@ASD NPs group were also significantly improved. This shows that CPB@ASD NPs can significantly enhance the ability of ASD to treat metabolic-related fatty liver disease, obesity, and other metabolic diseases.

[0056] Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining images of the livers of mice in each group are shown in Figure 2. Fig.10 As shown. The results showed that compared with mice on a normal diet (Control), the fat vacuoles in the liver of mice in the HFFD group increased significantly, and lipid damage was severe. After treatment with the ASD group and CPB@ASD NPs, the fat vacuoles in the liver of mice were significantly reduced, and lipid damage was significantly reduced. The treatment effect of the CPB@ASD NPs group was significantly better than that of the small molecule ASD group.

[0057] like Fig.11 As shown in the figure, compared with mice on a normal diet (Control), the liver function-related indicators ALT, AST and LDH in the blood of mice in the HFFD group were significantly decreased after treatment with the ASD group and CPB@ASD NPs, and the treatment effect of the CPB@ASD NPs group was significantly better than that of the small molecule ASD group. This shows that CPB@ASD NPs can significantly enhance the ability of ASD to improve the liver function of mice.

[0058] like Fig.12 As shown in the figure, compared with mice on a normal diet (Control), the levels of blood lipid-related indicators in the HFFD group mice increased significantly. After treatment with the ASD group and CPB@ASD NPs, the levels of these indicators in the blood of mice decreased significantly, and the treatment effect of the CPB@ASDNPs group was significantly better than that of the small molecule ASD group. This shows that CPB@ASD NPs can significantly enhance the ability of ASD to improve dyslipidemia in mice.

[0059] like Fig.13As shown in the figure, compared with mice fed a normal diet (Control), the glucose tolerance and insulin resistance of mice in the HFFD group became worse. After treatment with the ASD group and CPB@ASD NPs, the glucose tolerance and insulin resistance of mice were significantly improved, and the treatment effect of the CPB@ASD NPs group was better than that of the small molecule ASD group. This shows that CPB@ASD NPs can significantly improve the ability of ASD to improve glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in mice.

[0060] The above results show that compared with the therapeutic effect of the same dose of small molecule ASD, the therapeutic effect of CPB@ASD NPs on metabolic disease mice is significantly enhanced, which is manifested in improving the ability of ASD to treat metabolic-related fatty liver disease and obesity, improving the ability of ASD to improve dyslipidemia, and improving the ability of ASD to improve impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. This shows that CPB@ASDNPs can significantly improve the therapeutic efficiency of ASD for metabolic-related fatty liver disease, obesity and other metabolic diseases by improving the bioavailability of ASD.

[0061] The advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0062] 1. The synthesized phenylboronic acid polymer pB has a high density of phenylboronic acid groups, which is covalently linked with Akebia saponin D to form amphiphilic pB-ASD. pB-ASD is amphiphilic and can self-assemble to form nanoparticles with high stability and drug loading rate.

[0063] 2. By combining the PEG coating with electrostatic interaction, the ability of nanoparticles to break through the intestinal barrier is enhanced, thereby enhancing intestinal absorption and improving the bioavailability and therapeutic efficiency of ASD.

[0064] 3. Compared with the same dose of small molecule ASD, CPB@ASD NPs showed significantly enhanced therapeutic effects on metabolic diseases such as metabolic-related fatty liver disease and obesity in mice.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modification, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
