Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of medicine, in particular, the present application relates to a kind of milk exosome coated PLGA nanometer antituberculous drug system and preparation and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is known for its complexity, impermeability and hydrophobicity, thus acting as an insurmountable barrier, making Mtb naturally resistant to many antibiotics. Decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose 2' epimerase (DprE1), a flavin enzyme located in the intercellular space of the cell wall of Mtb, catalyzes the conversion of Decaprenylphosphoryl-D-ribose (DPR) to Decaprenylphosphoryl-2-Ketoribose (DPX) in Mycobacterium and Corynebacterium, which is subsequently converted to Decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-arabinose (DPA), the only source of arabinose, a basic monomer required for the synthesis of arabinogalactan and cell wall formation. This makes DprE1 a crucial and attractive drug target. The lack of DprE1 in humans further emphasizes that this enzyme can serve as a suitable drug target. AmBeed closely follows the research and development dynamics and proactively reserves active molecular compounds required in the research and development field of hot target points. The existing DprE1 target drug under research is also the direction followed by AmBeed.

[0003] Currently, several new TB candidate drugs include aminoquinolones, benzothiazoles, quinolizolines, nitrobenzamides, benzothiazinones (BTZs) and several other categories (Chikhale, et al. 2018).

[0004] PBTZ169, also known as macozinone, is a benzothiazinone anti-tuberculosis drug, which is synthesized after structural optimization of the lead compound BTZ043. As a very promising anti-drug-resistant tuberculosis new drug, PBTZ-169 is in phase IIa clinical trials, showing great potential. However, the high lipid solubility and poor solubility of PBTZ-169 limit its clinical application. In PBS buffer at pH = 7.4, the solubility of PBTZ-169 is only 0.01 μg / mL, and in acidic conditions at pH = 2, the solubility is 0.90 mg / mL. Its solubility in DMSO is only 5 mg / mL. PBTZ-169 also does not meet Lipinski's "five rules" (ClogP = 5.06). Due to its special physicochemical properties, its drugability is poor, and the low oral bioavailability of PBTZ-169 makes the in vivo study show less efficacy than in vitro. The hepatotoxicity and gastrointestinal reactions of PBTZ-169 cannot be ignored.

[0005]

[0006] Bedaquiline (BDQ) is an anti-drug-resistant tuberculosis drug with a new mechanism, which was approved for marketing by FDA in 2012. However, BDQ has poor drugability due to its small polarity and high lipid solubility (logP = 6.37). BDQ has more serious QT interval prolongation and other adverse reactions, such as hyperuricemia, nausea, joint pain, liver damage, etc. BDQ can cause arrhythmia by prolonging the QT interval. In addition, it has also been reported that the high lipophilicity of BDQ is the cause of cardiotoxicity.

[0007]

[0008] It has been proved that milk exosomes (MEs) can survive in the strong acidic conditions in the stomach and the degradation conditions in the intestine, and their ability to cross the gastrointestinal barrier makes them a promising oral drug delivery tool.

[0009] So far, there has been no report on the use of milk exosomes (MEs) to coat PLGA-NPs (ME-PLGA NPs) to prepare oral anti-tuberculosis drugs. Based on the prior art, the present application found that the use of a specific method and technology to coat anti-tuberculosis drugs with milk exosomes (Milk exosome, ME) to prepare ME-PLGA NPs (ME-PLGA NPs) into oral anti-tuberculosis drugs has unexpected technical effects.

[0097] In summary, the present application provides a milk exosome-coated PLGA nanometer anti-tuberculosis drug system, and its preparation and application. The technical solution of the present application has the following advantages:

[0098] The present application uses ultrasonic incubation and then uses the technology of liposome membrane extrusion to coat the exosome on the PLGA nanoparticles. This method can make the size of the synthesized sample more uniform, stable and better dispersed.

[0099] In particular, the present application first uses PLGA nanoparticles to coat PBTZ169 and BDQ, which improves their solubility, and first uses milk exosome to coat PLGA-PBTZ169 and PLGA-BDQ NPs, which overcomes the inherent shortcomings of PLGA:

[0100] 1. Traditional PLGA NPs are easily recognized and removed by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) due to their hydrophobicity, resulting in a short blood circulation time. Exosomes have a lipid bilayer structure and decorated transmembrane proteins, which can avoid being recognized and removed by the RES system. This prolongs the circulation time of the nanoparticles in the blood and improves the bioavailability of the drug.

[0101] 2. The surface of traditional PLGA NPs is negatively charged, which hinders the endocytosis of cells. Milk exosomes have transmembrane proteins (such as CD9, CD63, CD81) on their surface, which can promote the endocytosis of cells. This enhances the cellular uptake efficiency of the nanoparticles and improves the delivery effect of the drug.

[0102] 3. Traditional nanoparticles can trigger immune responses. Milk exosomes are natural endogenous substances in vivo, with high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. Reducing immune rejection and potential toxicity, improving the safety of treatment.

[0103] Traditional PLGA NPs are difficult to achieve targeted therapy due to the limitations of the material. Through specific modification of the surface of exosomes, targeted delivery of organs or tissues can be achieved. It improves the concentration of drugs in specific sites, enhances the therapeutic effect, and at the same time reduces the side effects on other non-targeted sites. And it has unique biological properties, can be easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
