Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical nanomedicine delivery system technology, specifically relating to a prodrug molecule based on zwitterionic polyamide-amine dendritic macromolecules, nanodrug-loaded micelles, their preparation methods and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Cancer has a high mortality and incidence rate. Statistics show that millions of people die from cancer globally each year, making it one of the leading causes of death worldwide, severely impacting human health and even life. Conventional cancer treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and molecularly targeted drugs, with chemotherapy playing a crucial role in combination with other therapies. However, most traditional chemotherapy drugs have low water solubility, poor selectivity, and lack specificity for tumor cells, leading to organ dysfunction.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to modify and improve chemotherapy drugs to reduce secondary harm to patients during treatment. Researchers have proposed using nanomedicine delivery carriers to overcome these shortcomings. Nanomedicine delivery carriers can improve the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs, enhance drug targeting, and achieve drug accumulation in specific organs or tissues. This enables sustained or even controlled release of drugs, thereby prolonging circulation time in the body, reducing side effects, improving drug safety, and ultimately enhancing therapeutic efficacy, greatly promoting the application of chemotherapy drugs in cancer treatment.

[0004] Dendrimers, as monodisperse polymers with highly branched structures, offer controllable particle size and regular shape, and their surface functional groups are easily modified, thus showing promising applications in drug delivery. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM), commonly used as a nanoparticle drug delivery carrier, possesses excellent water solubility due to the presence of numerous terminal amino groups. However, with increasing branching generations, the more terminal amino groups there are, the stronger the cationicity becomes. Excessive cationicity can easily cause cell membrane rupture and even apoptosis, leading to cytotoxicity. Therefore, researchers have modified the terminal groups on the PAMAM surface using different molecules to reduce cytotoxicity while retaining its original advantages. For example, glycosylation, acetylation, polyethylene glycol modification, or peptide modification of PAMAM can neutralize cations and reduce cytotoxicity.

[0005] Amphoteric groups are groups that can simultaneously carry positive and negative charges under different pH conditions. Their charge characteristics are closely related to pH. Amphoteric groups are widely found in various natural and synthetic compounds, such as amino acids, polymers, and surfactants. Because their charge state changes with pH, ​​exhibiting pH sensitivity, amphoteric groups have important applications in various fields, especially in biomedicine, materials science, and environmental monitoring. Currently, the main method for drug loading in dendritic macromolecules is to use their internal cavities as guest carriers. However, this method has limited drug loading capacity, low drug loading rate, and lacks a targeted response mechanism, resulting in relatively limited drug release. Therefore, modifying PAMAM with zwitterionic groups can utilize the changes in its charge state under different pH conditions to optimize its drug delivery effect. The tumor microenvironment is usually acidic, with a normal physiological pH close to 7.4. Zwitterionic groups are electroneutrally neutral at near-neutral pH values, while under low pH conditions, amino groups are protonated, and carboxyl groups remain undissociated, thus making the group as a whole positively charged. Therefore, PAMAM modified with zwitterions can undergo protonation in the acidic tumor microenvironment, achieving a potential reversal from negative to positive and exhibiting a positive charge, thereby enhancing its interaction with the negatively charged cell membrane and promoting responsive drug release and targeted delivery.

[0006] Therefore, it is essential to develop nanomicelles that can simultaneously enhance the drug loading capacity and responsive release of dendritic macromolecules at tumor sites by modifying them with zwitterionic ionization. Summary of the Invention

During the zwitterionic modification process, the hydrophobic drug paclitaxel is used as the hydrophobic end of the nanomicelles to specifically recognize α-amino acids overexpressed by tumor cells. V The β3 integrin targeting peptide {tumor-targeting peptide, c(RGDfC)} and pH-sensitive zwitterionic groups are used as hydrophilic ends, enabling self-assembly. Then, another small-molecule hydrophobic anticancer drug is physically encapsulated to obtain dual-drug-loading nanomicelles. These nanomicelles have advantages such as high drug loading capacity, low toxicity, and enhanced bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs. Furthermore, their pH responsiveness allows for targeted drug release at the tumor site, thereby enhancing the tumor-suppressing effect.

Then, 2-(triphenylmethylthio)ethylamine (996.85 mg, 2.00 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. After the reaction was complete, a white solid byproduct was filtered off, and the filtrate was collected.

R was collected. f The substance with a concentration of 0.6 was dried under vacuum to give the product N'-(2-(triphenylmethylthio)ethyl)-N α -tert-Butoxycarbonyl-N τ -Triphenylmethylhistamine;

[0082] S43.

The mixture was then precipitated with cold diethyl ether. After centrifugation, the precipitate was dissolved in water and the insoluble matter was filtered off.

[0083] S44. M-MPR and HIS-SH were mixed at a molar ratio of 1:10, dissolved in methanol, and reacted at room temperature under N2 protection with stirring for 24 h. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was placed in a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 2000 for dialysis. The dialysis medium was methanol, and the dialysis solution was changed every 6 h. After dialysis 4 times, the dialysis solution was collected and dried under vacuum to obtain the product M-MPRH.

[0084] S5. Preparation of drug-loaded nanomicelles by encapsulating the hydrophobic anticancer drug DOX with M-MPRH, the specific steps are as follows:

[0085] S51. Dissolve 500 μg of DOX hydrochloride in 1 mL of methanol, add 20 μL of triethylamine, and sonicate in the dark for 1 h to obtain a desalted DOX methanol solution.

[0086] S52. Dissolve M-MPRH in methanol to prepare a 5 mg / mL M-MPRH methanol solution;

[0087] S53. Mix M-MPRH methanol solution and DOX methanol solution at a mass ratio of M-MPRH:DOX of 10:1 and stir at room temperature in the dark for 3 hours.

[0088] S54. After the reaction is complete, the reaction solution is slowly added to water at a rate of 0.5 mL / min, with a volume ratio of 1:1 between the reaction solution and water. The solution is then placed in a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 500 for dialysis. The dialysis medium is water, and the dialysis solution is changed every 6 hours for a total of 3 dialysis cycles. After dialysis, the dialysis solution is collected to obtain drug-loaded nanomicelles, specifically M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles.

[0089] The proton spectrum of M-MPRH is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the chemical shifts at 7.3–8.2 ppm in M-MP correspond to the characteristic peaks of PTX-SH, and compared to MM, the peak area at 5.8–6.4 ppm is reduced, further proving that PTX-SH successfully modified MM. Furthermore, 7.1–7.4 ppm corresponds to the characteristic hydrogens of c(RGDfC), and the two sharp peaks at 7.3–7.4 ppm and 8.5–8.7 ppm correspond to the characteristic hydrogens of HIS-SH. The complete disappearance of the peak corresponding to the olefinic hydrogen at 5.8–6.4 ppm in M-MPRH also proves that the double bond on MM was completely added, further confirming the successful synthesis of M-MPRH. The paclitaxel loading rate was 27.25%.

[0090] The critical micelle concentration of M-MPRH was determined using a fluorescence spectrophotometer, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the inflection point of the curve is the critical micelle concentration of M-MPRH micelles in aqueous solution. The calculated critical micelle concentration of M-MPRH micelles is 4.98 μg / mL. The critical micelle concentration is related to the ratio of hydrophilic to hydrophobic ends of the micelles. In M-MPRH, the hydrophilic end is a first-generation polyamide-amine dendritic macromolecule modified with c(RGDfC) and HIS-SH, and the hydrophobic end is PTX-SH. The molar ratio of the two is 3:1.

[0091] Full-wavelength scanning of DOX and M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles was performed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, such as... Figure 4As shown, the maximum absorption peak of DOX is at 480 nm, and the maximum absorption peak of the drug-loaded micelles is at 494 nm. The peak shapes of the two are similar, and the absorption peak of DOX undergoes a red shift, indicating that M-MPRH successfully encapsulates DOX to form M-MPRH@DOX nano-drug-loaded micelles.

[0092] The fluorescence spectrophotometer was used to scan DOX and M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles at an excitation wavelength of 480 nm and an emission wavelength of 498 nm. Figure 5 As shown, the maximum excitation wavelength of both was 596 nm, and their peak shapes were similar, further proving that M-MPRH successfully encapsulated DOX. The DOX loading rate was 8.58%, so the total drug loading rate of the drug-loaded micelles reached 35.83%.

[0093] The morphology of drug-loaded micelles was characterized using transmission electron microscopy, such as... Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the drug-loaded micelles have a relatively regular morphology and a relatively uniform particle size distribution, with an average particle size of 24.03 nm.

[0094] The effect of different pH values ​​on the particle size of M-MPRH micelles and M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles was determined using a laser particle size analyzer. Figure 8 As shown, the hydrodynamic particle sizes of M-MPRH micelles were 81.71±1.98 nm, 93.06±6.48 nm, and 114.98±22.11 nm at pH = 7.4, 6.5, and 5.5, respectively, while those of M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles were 92.83±5.78 nm, 112.73±11.92 nm, and 147.07±4.94 nm, respectively. The hydrodynamic particle size of the micelles gradually increased with decreasing pH. This is mainly because the imidazole ring of histidine is pH-sensitive; in an acidic environment, it protonates and becomes positively charged, thereby disrupting the surface charge balance of the micelles and causing dissociation, resulting in larger particle sizes. These results indicate that M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles have pH-responsive capabilities in the acidic microenvironment of tumor cells, which is beneficial for achieving rapid drug release.

[0095] The effect of different pH values ​​on the potential of M-MPRH micelles and M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles was determined using a laser particle size analyzer. Figure 9As shown, at pH = 7.4, 6.5, and 5.5, the Zeta potentials of M-MPRH micelles were -5.65±1.16 mV, 1.52±0.72 mV, and 9.43±1.96 mV, respectively, and the Zeta potentials of M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles were -10.59±1.23 mV, 0.66±0.24 mV, and 5.41±0.37 mV, respectively. These results indicate that compared to the pH of normal tissue, M-MPRH micelles and M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles can achieve a surface potential reversal from negative to positive in the weakly acidic environment of tumor tissue. The positively charged micelles can generate a strong electrostatic attraction with the negatively charged tumor cell membrane. Therefore, this effect can enhance the uptake of micelles by cells to a certain extent, thereby delivering more anti-tumor drugs to the tumor site. Figure 8 It is known that this can cause micelle dissociation, thereby achieving specific accumulation of the encapsulated drug at the tumor site. The reason for this result is that at pH=7.4, the partial dissociation of the carboxyl groups on the M-MPRH surface makes the micelles negatively charged. When the pH decreases, the dissociation of the carboxyl groups is inhibited in a weakly acidic environment, and the protonation of the amino groups and the imidazole ring in the histidine is enhanced, thereby causing the micelles to undergo a potential reversal and become positively charged.

[0096] The stability of M-MPRH micelles and M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles in protein solutions was determined using a laser particle size analyzer. Figure 10 As shown, the hydrodynamic particle size of 0.5 mg / mL fibrinogen is approximately 26.28 nm, the hydrodynamic particle size of 1 mg / mL M-MPRH micelles is approximately 80.71 nm, and the hydrodynamic particle size of the mixed solution of 0.5 mg / mL fibrinogen + 1 mg / mL M-MPRH is approximately 50.18 nm. The hydrodynamic particle size of the M-MPRH mixed solution falls between the two, indicating that M-MPRH does not aggregate with the protein. Figure 11 As shown, the hydrodynamic particle size of 1 mg / mL M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded micelles is approximately 98.24 nm, and the hydrodynamic particle size of the mixed solution of 0.5 mg / mL fibrinogen + 1 mg / mL M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded micelles is approximately 69.63 nm. The hydrodynamic particle size of the M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded micelle mixture is also between the two, indicating that it does not aggregate with proteins and demonstrates its good stability in protein solutions.

[0097] The fluorescence intensity of M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles was measured every 1 hour at pH = 7.4, 6.5, and 5.5 using a fluorescence spectrophotometer, thereby calculating the cumulative drug release. Figure 12As shown, at pH = 7.4, 6.5, and 5.5, the cumulative release of M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles after 27 h was 28.68%, 43.46%, and 70.68%, respectively. As the pH decreased, the cumulative drug release gradually increased, indicating that M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles are pH sensitive and can achieve specific drug release in the acidic tumor microenvironment.

[0098] In vivo tumor suppression experiments were conducted on M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles in mice. Figure 13 As shown, after 14 days of administration, the average weight of mice in the saline group was 30.12 g, the average weight of mice in the free DOX group was 23.04 g, and the average weight of mice in the M-MPRH@DOX nano-drug-loaded micelle group was 31.02 g. The comparison shows that the weight of mice in the M-MPRH@DOX nano-drug-loaded micelle group was similar to that in the saline group and much higher than that in the free DOX group, indicating that the drug-loaded micelles have lower biotoxicity compared to free DOX. Figure 14 To obtain images of mouse tumors, one mouse was randomly selected from each group after 14 days of treatment, dissected, and the tumor was removed and photographed. Figure 14 It can be seen that the tumor volume of mice in the M-MPRH@DOX nano-drug-loaded micelle group was the smallest, indicating that the tumors of mice treated with drug-loaded micelles were significantly inhibited compared with those in the saline group, and the tumor inhibition effect was better than that of the free DOX group. Figure 15 A graph showing the average tumor volume of all mice over a 14-day experimental period, as shown below. Figure 15 As shown, at 14 days, the average tumor volume of mice in the untreated saline group was approximately 1229.81 mm. 3 The average tumor volume in the free DOX group mice was approximately 377.68 mm. 3 The average tumor volume in mice in the M-MPRH@DOX nanoparticle drug-loaded micelle group was approximately 87.19 mm. 3 Calculations showed that the tumor inhibition rate of the drug-loaded micelle group was 92.91%, which was higher than that of the free DOX group (69.29%). Figure 14 This demonstrates that M-MPRH@DOX drug-loaded nanomicelles have a good tumor-suppressing effect.
