Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biological imaging and treatment technology, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a nano-diagnosis and treatment platform. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, optical diagnosis and treatment technology can detect cancer cells earlier. Through optical imaging technology, such as fluorescence imaging and photoacoustic imaging, three-dimensional visualization of tumor tissue can be achieved, providing doctors with detailed lesion information, so as to formulate more personalized treatment plans. In addition, advanced optical treatment methods such as PDT (photodynamic therapy) and PTT (photothermal therapy) can accurately act on cancer cells while reducing damage to surrounding normal tissues, thereby reducing toxic side effects during treatment and significantly improving the quality of life of patients. These technologies are not only suitable for the treatment of superficial tumors, but also through the use of a variety of innovative methods, such as expanding the absorption wavelength range of photosensitizers, enhancing the penetration depth of light in tissues, and promoting the targeted enrichment of photosensitizers at the tumor site, etc., constantly breaking through limitations and expanding into the field of deep tumor treatment. With the continuous advancement and deep integration of nanoscience and biotechnology, a series of more accurate, efficient and low-side effect cancer treatment solutions have been developed one after another.

[0003] Near infrared II (NIR-II, 1000-1700nm) fluorescence imaging technology (NIR-II FLI), with its superior penetration depth, high-resolution imaging capabilities, and real-time dynamic monitoring of internal structure and functional changes of organisms, is gradually becoming a cutting-edge tool for biological visualization. In the process of promoting the clinical transformation of NIR-II FLI, the development of high brightness (high fluorescence quantum yield) Photosensitizers that combine molar extinction coefficient ε), long wavelength, high photostability and biocompatibility are crucial.

[0004] As an innovative cancer treatment, the core principle of PDT is to use photosensitizers to convert light energy into reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce cell apoptosis and tissue damage. 1 O 2 However, its efficacy is limited by the hypoxic environment inside the tumor. To break through this bottleneck, researchers are actively exploring various strategies to enhance the therapeutic effect of PDT under hypoxic conditions. For example, hyperbaric oxygen therapy or the development of nanocarriers for oxygen delivery can increase the oxygen content in the tumor to increase 1 O 2The development of oxygen-independent type I photosensitizers or dual-mechanism photosensitizers combining type I and type II mechanisms to effectively kill tumor cells in anoxic environments; at the same time, the performance of photosensitizers is continuously optimized, such as increasing fluorescence quantum yield and molar extinction coefficient, improving photostability and enhancing biocompatibility, in order to enhance the overall efficacy of PDT. In addition, PDT is also combined with other treatments such as PTT, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, using synergistic effects to further enhance the therapeutic effect and reduce side effects.

[0005] Fluorination modification has shown significant advantages in the biomedical field, especially in reducing physiological toxicity and improving therapeutic effects. Its unique advantages come from the chemical properties of fluorine atoms, namely its larger electronegativity and smaller atomic radius, which makes fluorinated compounds more stable and less reactive in vivo, thereby effectively reducing toxic side effects on normal cells. At the same time, fluorination can also stabilize the electronic structure of fluorescent materials, reduce non-radiative transitions, and thus improve fluorescence quantum yield and optical properties. In addition, fluorinated polymers have excellent oxygen capture capabilities, so the fluorination strategy is expected to improve the hypoxic environment inside the tumor and provide more oxygen sources for PDT, thereby significantly improving the therapeutic effect. Amphiphilic polymers are widely used in drug delivery systems due to their unique structure (containing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts). Fluorination modification, as an effective terminal modification method, can not only enhance the stability and biocompatibility of polymer carriers, but also give them new functional properties. These improvements make fluorinated amphiphilic polymer carriers show broader application potential and prospects in the field of advanced photodiagnosis and treatment. Summary of the invention

[0066] The following is a specific description with reference to the embodiments.

[0067] Example 1

[0068] (1) Synthesis of fluorinated organic photosensitizer 4F:

[0069]

[0070] The structural formula is Compound 1 (0.1 mmol) and the structural formula are Compound 2 (0.5 mmol) was dissolved in chloroform (30 mL) under argon atmosphere. Then an appropriate amount of pyridine (0.6 mL) was added, and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux at 55 ° C for 16 h. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured into methanol to precipitate the crude product, and filtered and collected. The crude product was further purified by silica gel column chromatography using petroleum ether: dichloromethane (1:1) as eluent to obtain a product with the structural formula Black solid 4F.

[0071] Figure 2 The fluorine-containing organic photosensitizer 4F prepared in Example 1 1 H NMR spectrum, Figure 3 The following is the MALDI-TOF mass spectrum.

[0072] (2) Synthesis of PSMA-PEG:

[0073]

[0074] Poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (isopropylbenzene capped, 0.1mmol, Mn~1900), amino-polyethylene glycol (Mn~5000, 0.3mmol) and catalyst DMAP were added to the reaction flask. Subsequently, sufficient THF was added to the reaction flask as the reaction solvent. Stirring and heating to 70°C, condensing and refluxed to prevent solvent evaporation. The reaction was carried out under this condition for 24 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and precipitated with ether. Subsequently, the precipitate was re-dissolved with deionized water and freeze-dried to obtain the amphiphilic polymer PSMA-PEG (Mn~6974kDa).

[0075] (3)PSMA-3F synthesis:

[0076]

[0077] The product PSMA-PEG (0.1 mmol) and DSC (0.2 mmol) were added to a reaction flask, and sufficient anhydrous DCM was added as a reaction solvent, and then a small amount of DIPEA was slowly added as a catalyst. The reaction mixture was stirred for 6 hours at room temperature. Then, excess NH 2 -ph-3F (0.2 mmol) was added into the reaction flask which had been stirred for 6 hours, and the stirring was continued at room temperature for 48 hours to introduce a fluorine source into the polymer skeleton.

[0078] After the reaction was completed, the crude product was dried by rotary evaporation. Subsequently, the solid matter was dissolved in deionized water, and then placed in a dialysis bag (MW 7000Da) and dialyzed in deionized water for 3 days. Finally, it was freeze-dried to obtain an amphiphilic fluorinated organic polymer carrier PSMA-3F (Mn ~ 9714kDa).

[0079] Figure 4 The fluorinated amphiphilic organic polymer carrier PSMA-3F and its PSMA-PEG (non-fluorinated control group) prepared in Example 1 1 H NMR spectrum, Figure 5 Their gel permeation chromatography (GPC) diagrams are shown below.

[0080] (3) Preparation of nano-diagnostic and therapeutic platform: The PSMA-3F and 4F prepared above (mass ratio 5:1) were placed in a binary solution of THF and deionized water (volume ratio 1:9) using a nano-coprecipitation method, and nanoparticles FFNPs were obtained under ultrasound. The THF was then evaporated and removed under nitrogen protection.

[0081] Comparative Example 1

[0082] The only difference from Example 1 is that 4F is directly encapsulated with the fluorine-free amphiphilic organic polymer PSMA-PEG to obtain PF NPs:

[0083] By using a nano-coprecipitation method, the PSMA-PEG prepared in Example 1 and 4F (mass ratio 5:1) were placed in a binary solution of THF and deionized water (volume ratio 1:9), and nanoparticles PF NPs were obtained under ultrasound, and then THF was evaporated and removed under nitrogen protection.

[0084] Performance Testing:

[0085] (1) UV absorption and fluorescence emission test of FF NPs and PF NPs. The specific steps are as follows:

[0086] 3 mL of FF NPs and PF NPs aqueous solutions of the same concentration were placed in two cuvettes, and then placed in a UV spectrophotometer to collect UV absorption spectra. Next, in the same way, the two samples were placed in a fluorescence spectrometer to collect their respective emission spectra. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 6 shown.

[0087] from Figure 6 It can be observed that the maximum absorption wavelengths of FF NPs and PF NPs are basically the same, and both exhibit strong absorption in the near-infrared region, which is attributed to the unique properties of the photosensitizer 4F. In addition, the emission wavelengths of both show typical NIR-II fluorescence emission, and their emission tail bands extend to 1300nm in aqueous solution, which can effectively avoid fluorescence interference in in vivo imaging and is conducive to high-contrast NIR-II FLI of deep tissues. It is worth noting that at the same concentration, FF NPs exhibited significantly higher fluorescence intensity than PF NPs, which clearly indicates the significant enhancement effect of fluorination on fluorescence properties.

[0088] (2) NIR-II FLI test of FF NPs and PF NPs. The specific steps are as follows:

[0089] 300 μL of FF NPs and PF NPs aqueous solutions with the same concentration were placed in two 0.5 mL centrifuge tubes, and then placed in the NIR-II fluorescence imager and irradiated with 808 nm laser at a power density of 0.5 W / cm 2 , 1000nm long pass filter, and fluorescence image acquisition. Figure 7 shown.

[0090] from Figure 7 It can be observed that there is an obvious difference in the intensity of the NIR-II fluorescence imaging of FF NPs and PF NPs. The results are similar to the fluorescence spectra. FF NPs show brighter fluorescence emission, which may be attributed to their own fluorination.

[0091] (3) FF NPs and PF NPs 1 O 2 Generate capability test, the specific steps are as follows:

[0092] SOSG (Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green) singlet oxygen probe is used to detect 1 O 2Generation. 10 μL SOSG (working concentration: 5 μM) was mixed with FF NPs or PF NPs aqueous solution (working concentration: 10 μM). 10 μL SOSG was mixed with 3 mL deionized water as a control group. Afterwards, the mixture was exposed to 808 nm laser (0.5 W / cm 2 ), and the fluorescence intensity at about 521 nm was recorded in a fluorescence spectrometer (excitation wavelength: 488 nm) for 30 seconds each time. Figure 8 shown.

[0093] Figure 8 FF NPs or PF NPs in water phase with 1 O 2 After mixing, the fluorescence intensity at 521nm wavelength changes with illumination time. Figure 8 It can be seen that when only SOSG exists, the fluorescence signal intensity of the solution has almost no significant change after illumination. In contrast, when FF NPs or PF NPs solution coexists with SOSG, the fluorescence signal intensity of the solution gradually increases, and this enhancement effect is more significant when FF NPs exist. This shows that both FF NPs and PF NPs have good 1 O 2 The FF NPs showed better performance in this regard, which may be because the fluorinated FF NPs enhanced their ability to capture oxygen.

[0094] (4) Photothermal conversion efficiency test of FF NPs and PF NPs. The specific steps are as follows:

[0095] The photothermal conversion efficiency of FF NPs and PF NPs was calculated. 300 μL of FF NPs and PF NPs aqueous solution with the same concentration was irradiated with 808 nm laser (0.5 W / cm 2 ) for 5 min, and monitor the temperature changes during the illumination period. Subsequently, turn off the laser, cool the solution to room temperature, and continue to monitor the temperature changes during the cooling process. During this process, the solution temperature changes were recorded every 30 seconds. In addition, 300 μL of deionized water was set as a blank control group. The results are shown in Fig. 9 shown.

[0096] according to Fig. 9 The obtained data can be used to calculate the photothermal conversion efficiency of FF NPs and PF NPs, respectively: PCE FF NPs =52.8% and PCE PF NPs =51.6%. This indicates that FF NPs and PF NPs have excellent photothermal properties and show potential for in vivo tumor treatment.

[0097] (5) Cellular uptake test of FF NPs or PF NPs. The specific steps are as follows:

[0098] Mouse breast cancer cells (4T1) were inoculated in a confocal microscope dish and incubated for at least 24 hours. FF NPs or PF NPs (20 μM) were then added and incubated for 9 hours. At the same time, a blank group without any material was set up and recorded as the Control group. After the incubation, the cells were washed 3 times with PBS. 100 μL of 1×Hoechst33342 nuclear stain was added to each well and incubated at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes. The stain was then removed and washed 3 times with PBS. Finally, the cells were observed using a confocal microscope (Zeiss) in sequential scanning mode. FF NPs or PF NPs (λex=565nm, λem=780nm), Hoechst33342 (λex=346nm, λem=461nm). The results are shown in Fig.10 shown.

[0099] Fig.10 The results of confocal imaging confirmed that FF NPs or PF NPs could be well taken up by cells, and FF NPs in 4T1 cells showed stronger fluorescence after 9 hours, which may be related to the longer retention of FF NPs in cells.

[0100] (6) Testing the photodynamic / photothermal synergistic killing ability of FF NPs or PF NPs on 4T1 cells. The specific steps are as follows:

[0101] The CCK-8 cell viability test kit was used. 4T1 cells were cultured with DMEM complete medium (containing 10% FBS, 1% penicillin / streptomycin) in a humidified incubator (37°C, 5% CO 2 , 20% O 2 ) were cultured. Then, the cells in the logarithmic growth phase were harvested and cultured at 1×10 4 The cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at a density of 10 cells / mL and incubated for 24 h. Subsequently, the medium was replaced with fresh complete medium containing different concentrations of FF NPs or PF NPs. After further incubation for 6 h, they were exposed to 808 nm laser irradiation for 5 min (0.5 W / cm 2), recorded as FF NPs+L or PF NPs+L, respectively. At the same time, cells incubated with FF NPs or PF NPs without laser irradiation were set as dark control groups. After further incubation for 18 hours, the culture medium was removed and washed three times with PBS. The cells were then incubated with fresh serum-free basic medium containing 10% CCK-8 in the dark for 30 minutes. Finally, the absorbance of the product was measured at a wavelength of 450nm using an enzyme reader. The results are expressed as the survival percentage of cells after different treatments relative to the control group cells without any treatment. The results are shown in Fig.11 shown.

[0102] Fig.11 This is an analysis test of the photodynamic / photothermal synergistic killing ability of FF NPs or PF NPs on 4T1 cells. It can be seen that with the increase in the concentration of nanomaterials, the cell viability in the non-illuminated group did not decrease. On the contrary, whether incubated with FF NPs or PF NPs, under illumination, the viability of 4T1 cells decreased with the increase in material concentration. When the concentration of both was 15μM, the cell killing effect was obvious, and FF NPs showed a stronger cell killing ability. According to the aforementioned in vitro performance test, it can be analyzed that when the photothermal conversion efficiency is basically the same, that is, the photothermal effect is almost the same, FF NPs are stronger. 1 O 2 The fluorinated FF NPs have excellent synergistic phototherapy effects and show better tumor killing potential.

[0103] (7) NIR-II fluorescence imaging test of tumor sites in living tumor-bearing mice:

[0104] In order to study the feasibility of using FF NPs for in vivo fluorescence imaging to guide tumor therapy, a solid tumor model was established by subcutaneous injection of 4T1 cells. After tail vein injection of FF NPs aqueous solution, fluorescence imaging images were collected at different time points (0h, 1h, 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h) after injection of the mouse tumor site. The results are shown in Fig.12 shown.

[0105] Due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect of tumors, Fig.12It can be seen that after the tail vein injection of FF NPs, the mouse tumor site quickly showed bright fluorescence, and the fluorescence signal intensity reached a peak within 3 hours. Although it weakened slightly afterwards, it could still maintain a relatively obvious fluorescence brightness for a long time. This result shows that FF NPs can quickly penetrate the tumor blood vessel wall during blood circulation and accumulate in the tumor tissue, and show excellent tumor retention performance. This indicates that these nanoparticles have great potential as fluorescent imaging probes to guide photodynamic / photothermal therapy of deep tumors.

[0106] In summary, the cancer nano-diagnosis and treatment platform for fluorination-enhanced NIR-II FLI and PDT efficiency provided by the present invention has simple synthesis steps, simple separation and purification operations, and has obvious fluorescence enhancement and improved 1 O 2 It has high photothermal conversion performance, strong killing ability against breast cancer cells, can be used for in vivo vascular imaging, and has application potential in constructing anticancer drugs with efficient NIR-II FLI-guided photodynamic / photothermal synergistic therapeutic effects.
