Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry and pharmaceutical preparation technology, and relates to a near-infrared II region fluorescent diagnostic and therapeutic agent for real-time monitoring of Fenton-like reactions and tumor chemodynamic therapy. Specifically, it relates to the preparation of organic small molecules used to construct fluorescent diagnostic and therapeutic agents, the preparation of diagnostic and therapeutic agent complexes and diagnostic and therapeutic agent nanoparticles, near-infrared II region (1000-1700 nm) fluorescence imaging and tumor chemodynamic therapy, and the application of the diagnostic and therapeutic agent nanoparticles in real-time imaging of copper ion-mediated Fenton-like reactions and tumor chemodynamic therapy in living tumors. Background Art
[0002] The prior art discloses that near-infrared light has been widely used in the biomedical field due to its advantages such as deeper tissue penetration and lower tissue background interference. Studies have shown that the longer the excitation wavelength used in biological imaging, the weaker the tissue light scattering and autofluorescence. At the same time, tissue absorption reaches a minimum in the range of 650-1450 nm. Therefore, compared with traditional visible light region (400-750 nm) and near-infrared I window (750-950 nm) fluorescence imaging, near-infrared II region fluorescence imaging can achieve higher spatial resolution and contrast due to its longer wavelength.
[0003] Chemodynamic therapy is a new cancer treatment method that mainly uses Fe 2+ , Cu + and Mn 2+ Transition metal ions such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH) induce Fenton or Fenton-like reactions in the tumor microenvironment, catalyzing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to generate cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thereby inducing cell apoptosis and achieving anti-tumor effects. Compared with traditional cancer treatments, chemodynamic therapy is non-invasive and highly effective, and exhibits low toxic side effects.
[0004] Electron spin resonance and a variety of fluorescence or Raman imaging probes are often used in current research to detect the various reactive oxygen species produced by the reaction, thereby indirectly monitoring the occurrence of chemical kinetic reactions. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging and other technologies can also be used to monitor Fe3O4 and MnO2 or their released Fe 3+ and Mn 2+ The distribution of Fenton or Fenton-like reaction catalysts in the tumor can be used to predict the therapeutic effect of chemodynamic therapy. However, since chemical reactions are affected by many factors, only detecting reactants or reactive oxygen products cannot accurately reflect the process of chemodynamic reactions and make accurate predictions on the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy.
[0005] In addition, current research lacks real-time dynamic imaging of the chemical kinetic reaction process of chemical kinetic drugs at the living cell level. Therefore, it is urgent to design a diagnostic agent that can directly participate in and monitor the dynamic process of chemical kinetic reactions in real time, so as to provide direct information for predicting the efficacy of chemical kinetic drugs.

[0039] Example 2 Preparation of a fluorescent diagnostic and therapeutic agent complex containing the compound BADA and its nanoparticles and evaluation of the complex 1) Cu-BADA complex was prepared according to the following steps: Cu(OAc)2 (39.6 μM, 7.2 mg) and BADA (9.9 μM, 10.0 mg) were dissolved in 5 mL DMF; the mixture was heated at 60°C for 2 h; after the reaction, the Cu-BADA precipitate was collected by centrifugation and washed three times with DMF to obtain a Cu-BADA complex, which could be uniformly dispersed in DMF by ultrasound.
[0040] The Cu-BADA complex was quenched due to the charge transfer within the molecule, and the quantum efficiency under 660 nm laser excitation was about 0.10. The Cu-BADA complex reacted chemically with glutathione (GSH) under acidic conditions and was degraded.
[0041] SEM images of Cu-BADA complex before and after chemical kinetic reaction at pH 5.5 and GSH (10 mM), as shown in Figure 1 shown.
[0042] 2) Cu-BADA nanoparticles: Pluronic F-127 (100 mg) was dissolved in 1 mL DMF, added to the Cu-BADA complex obtained in step 1), and ultrasonicated to make it uniformly dispersed; under magnetic stirring, the mixed solution was dropped into 10 mL ultrapure water, ultrasonicated for 10 min, and stirred at room temperature for 8 h to form a stable Cu-BADA nanoparticle solution.
[0043] The particle size of the prepared Cu-BADA nanoparticles was 190.1 ± 4.3 nm and the PDI was 0.11 ± 0.02. Figure 2 The transmission electron micrograph and particle size distribution are shown.
[0044] 3) Fluorescence characteristics of Cu-BADA nanoparticles before and after dissolution, see Figure 3 As shown: 10 μM compound BADA was excited at 660 nm in the benign polar solvent DMF, and its emission wavelength was 900 – 1400 nm, which was near-infrared II region fluorescence, such as Figure 3 As shown in a.
[0045] After the compound BADA was chelated with copper ions to prepare Cu-BADA nanoparticles, the fluorescence was quenched due to the charge transfer within the molecule; 100 μM Cu-BADA nanoparticle solution could react with 10 mM GSH in an acidic environment (pH 5.5) to cause the nanoparticles to dissolve, and the fluorescence was restored as shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 b to Figure 3 As shown in d.
[0046] Figure 3 b is the fluorescence excitation spectrum of Cu-BADA nanoparticles at 1000 nm before and after the chemical kinetic reaction (before and after dissolution) under acidic and GSH conditions. The o-benzoquinone products after the reaction have fluorescence intensity excitation peaks at 403 / 634 / 836 nm, respectively.
[0047] Figure 3c is the visible light photograph of Cu-BADA nanoparticles (100 μM) after dissolution and the solution irradiated with laser at 660 nm and 830 nm (laser power density was 0.1 W / cm 2 ) is a near-infrared II fluorescence photograph, which shows that the fluorescence is quenched before dissolution and recovered after dissolution.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown in Figure d, the fluorescence of Cu-BADA nanoparticles was quenched before dissolution and recovered after dissolution. The fluorescence was excited by 660 nm and 830 nm, emitting near-infrared II region fluorescence with a wavelength of 1000-1300 nm, with quantum efficiencies of 0.70% and 1.2%, respectively. The fluorescence intensity excited by 830 nm was greater than that excited by 660 nm.
[0049] 4) Detection of active oxygen in the Cu-BADA nanoparticle solution obtained in step 2): In vitro • OH and O2 -· It can be detected by electron spin resonance technology.
[0050] 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) was used as the •OH in water and O2 in methanol. -• The experimental group includes: (1) Cu-BADA nanoparticles (100 μM), pH = 7.4; (2) Cu-BADA nanoparticles (100 μM), pH = 5.5; (3) Cu-BADA nanoparticles (100 μM) + GSH, pH = 5.5.
[0051] The results showed that the aqueous solution of Cu-BADA nanoparticles (100 μM) reacted with GSH at pH 5.5 to generate a large amount of •OH and O2 -· (like Figure 4 as shown).
[0052] Electron spin resonance technology is used to detect the generation of reactive oxygen species. Figure 4 It is shown in the figure that the aqueous solution of Cu-BADA nanoparticles (100 μM) reacted with GSH (2.5 mM) at pH 5.5, and the intensity was stronger, and the detection of OH and superoxide anions (O2 ·- ) is generated.
[0053] The nanoparticles under neutral conditions have the weakest strength.
[0054] 5) Effect of aqueous solution of Cu-BADA nanoparticles on cancer: Mouse subcutaneous tumor model and orthotopic colon cancer model were established using mouse colon cancer CT26-Luc cell line, and Cu-BADA nanoparticles (40 mg / kg) were injected intravenously.
[0055] For the mouse orthotopic colon cancer model, the copper ion content, total BADA and BADA conversion in mouse plasma and orthotopic tumors were measured 0-24 hours after injection. The results of copper ion content, total BADA and BADA conversion in plasma and tumors are as follows Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2, in plasma, the amount of BADA conversion remains at a relatively low level within 0-24 h after injection, which helps to reduce the interference of background fluorescence signals in normal tissues. Figure 5 As shown in the right figure, 4 h after injection, the total amount of BADA and the amount of BADA conversion in the tumor increased by about 6.6 times and 5.8 times compared with 3 h, respectively, indicating that copper ions underwent a chemokinetic reaction in the tumor. The total amount of BADA, the amount of BADA conversion, and the copper ion concentration in the tumor all reached a peak at 6 h after injection and then gradually decreased. After 6 h of intravenous injection, the amount of BADA conversion was close to the total amount, indicating that the Cu-BADA nanoparticles were almost completely dissociated and converted into o-benzoquinone products. 12 h after injection, the copper ion concentration in the tumor was close to that at 2 h after injection, indicating that the chemokinetic reaction in the tumor was terminated.
[0056] For the mouse subcutaneous tumor model, near-infrared II fluorescence imaging was performed directly on the tumor site using 660 nm and 830 nm lasers 0-24 h after injection. For the mouse orthotopic colon cancer model, the skin and peritoneum of the cecum were cut open to expose the intestinal segment, and near-infrared II fluorescence imaging was performed on the orthotopic tumor using 660 nm and 830 nm lasers 0-24 h after injection. The results are shown in Figure 6 As shown in the figure, in both models, near-infrared II fluorescence began to appear in the tumor site 4 h after injection. The fluorescence intensity reached the highest level 6 h after injection and then gradually weakened until 12 h, when the fluorescence disappeared.
[0057] Cu-BADA nanoparticles (40 mg / kg) were intravenously injected into mice bearing CT26-Luc orthotopic tumors for 3-4 hours, and near-infrared II region fluorescence microscopy imaging was performed using 660nm and 830nm lasers. The results showed that 3 hours after injection, fluorescence signals began to appear in tumor cells and gradually increased over time, and the fluorescence images obtained under 830nm laser irradiation had higher fluorescence intensity and clarity than those obtained under 660nm laser irradiation (e.g. Figure 7 as shown).
[0058] The chemodynamic therapy was performed on mice bearing CT26-Luc orthotopic tumors by intravenous injection of Cu-BADA nanoparticles (40 mg / kg). The cure rate of the tumor-bearing mice in the multi-dose treatment group (5 doses) was 80%, and the tumor did not recur within 60 days.

After the reaction was completed, the precipitate was collected by centrifugation and washed three times with DMF to obtain a diagnostic and therapeutic agent complex.
[0111] The diagnostic and therapeutic agent complex can be uniformly dispersed in DMF by ultrasound, and the fluorescence is quenched due to the charge transfer within the molecule. Under acidic conditions, the complex reacts chemically with GSH and is degraded, emitting near-infrared II region fluorescence.

Under magnetic stirring, the mixture was dropped into 10 mL ultrapure water, ultrasonicated for 10 min, and then stirred at room temperature for 8 h to form stable diagnostic and therapeutic agent nanoparticles.

For the mouse subcutaneous tumor model, near-infrared II fluorescence imaging was performed directly on the tumor site using 660 nm and 830 nm lasers 0-24 h after injection. For the mouse orthotopic colon cancer model, the skin and peritoneum of the cecum were cut open to expose the intestinal segment, and near-infrared II fluorescence imaging was performed on the orthotopic tumor using 660 nm and 830 nm lasers 0-24 h after injection. The results showed that in both models, near-infrared II fluorescence began to appear in the tumor site 4 h after injection. After 6 h after injection, the fluorescence intensity reached the highest level and then gradually weakened until 12 h, when the fluorescence disappeared. This proves that the diagnostic and therapeutic nanoparticles can mediate specific chemical kinetic reactions in the mouse colon cancer model, and the o-benzoquinone product with near-infrared II fluorescence generated by the diagnostic and therapeutic nanoparticles during the reaction can be used for real-time monitoring of the chemical kinetic reaction process of the diagnostic and therapeutic nanoparticles in mouse colon cancer.
