Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to a near-infrared photothermal / photodynamic / chemotherapy combined nano-platform for treating glioblastoma and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in the central nervous system, accounting for approximately 57% of all gliomas and 48% of primary malignant central nervous system tumors. GBM is highly invasive, prone to recurrence after treatment, and has an extremely poor clinical prognosis, making it one of the most lethal cancers.

[0003] Traditional treatments include surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, but these have limited efficacy and significant side effects. In recent years, photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) combined with chemotherapy have emerged as new approaches for glioblastoma treatment. The synergistic effects of photothermal / photodynamic therapy can significantly enhance anti-tumor efficacy and mitigate multidrug resistance (MDR) while reducing the dose of chemotherapy drugs. However, current multifunctional therapy technologies still suffer from poor reproducibility and complex pharmacokinetics, limiting their diagnostic and therapeutic effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0007] .

[0008] The present invention also discloses a method for preparing the above-mentioned near-infrared aggregation-induced emission molecule, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0009] ;

[0011] Preparation of Compound 2: Under nitrogen, n-butyllithium (n-BuLi, 2.5 mL, 6 mmol, 2.4 M inhexane) was added dropwise to a flask containing Compound 1 (0.90 g, 2.40 mmol) and 30 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF). The mixture was kept at -78°C and stirred for 1 hour. Bu3SnCl (1.86 g, 6 mmol) was added in one portion. The system was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 12 hours. After completion of the reaction, ice-cold deionized water was added to quench the reaction. The mixture was extracted with 50 mL of n-hexane, and the organic phases were combined and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation to obtain the crude product Compound 2.

[0012] Preparation of compound BDTA: Under nitrogen protection, compound 2 (1.33 g, 2.00 mmol), 4,8-dibromo-benzo[1,2-c:4,5-c']bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole (0.28 g, 0.80 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (0.38 g, 0.41 mmol), P(tBu)3 (0.23 g, 0.41 mmol) and Na t OBu (1.56 g, 16.20 mmol); under a dry nitrogen atmosphere, 20 mL of anhydrous toluene was added as the solvent; the system was heated to reflux and stirred for 24 hours; after completion of the reaction, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation; the crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane / petroleum ether (v / v = 1 / 4) to obtain the target product BDTA.

[0013] The present invention also discloses an application of the above-mentioned near-infrared aggregation-induced emission molecular compound BDTA in the preparation of a near-infrared photothermal / photodynamic / chemotherapy combined nano-platform.

[0014] Furthermore, the nanoplatform has significant photothermal conversion ability and singlet oxygen generation ability under 635nm laser irradiation.

[0015] The present invention also discloses a near-infrared photothermal / photodynamic / chemotherapy combined nanoplatform for the treatment of glioblastoma, characterized in that the nanoplatform comprises: the aggregation-induced emission molecular compound BDTA described above or the aggregation-induced emission molecular compound BDTA prepared by the preparation method, as well as curcumin and macrophage membrane.

[0016] Furthermore, the BDTA molecule has balanced radiative transition ability, non-radiative transition ability and efficient intersystem crossing ability.

[0017] Furthermore, the Cur and BDTA achieve energy transfer through Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and inhibit the overexpression of heat shock proteins, thereby enhancing the effects of photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy.

[0018] Furthermore, any of the above-mentioned near-infrared photothermal / photodynamic / chemotherapy combined nanoplatforms for treating glioblastoma is used in the preparation of drugs for treating glioblastoma.

[0019] The present invention also discloses a method for preparing the near-infrared photothermal / photodynamic / chemotherapy combined nano-platform for treating glioblastoma according to claim 5, characterized in that the method comprises the following specific steps:

[0020] Step 1: Prepare the near-infrared luminescent molecule BDTA: It is composed of benzobithiadiazole (BBT) as an electron acceptor, 9,10-dihydro-9,9-dimethylacridine (DDA) and thiophene (TH) as electron donors, and an alkyl group as a shielding group;

[0021] Step 2: Using DSPE-mPEG2000 as a template, BDTA and curcumin (Cur) were co-encapsulated to form core nanoparticles by nano-coprecipitation method;

[0022] Step 3: The extracted cell membrane is modified on the surface of the core nanoparticles by co-extrusion to form macrophage membrane-modified Cur-BDTA nanoparticles, namely MPMs@Cur-BDTA NPs.

[0023] Curcumin (Cur) is a plant polyphenol compound extracted from turmeric, exhibiting antiproliferative, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. The potential of curcumin in the treatment of glioblastoma has been demonstrated in multiple preclinical studies. Its mechanisms of action include inducing cell cycle arrest, triggering apoptosis, promoting autophagy, and disrupting key molecular signaling pathways. Furthermore, as a heat shock protein inhibitor, curcumin can enhance tumor sensitivity to photothermal therapy and significantly improve its efficacy.

[0024] Phototherapy, a method for treating diseases and promoting recovery through photochemical or photophysical reactions, boasts precise and minimally invasive treatments. However, traditional phototherapy drugs often suffer from poor photostability and high biotoxicity. Aggregation-induced emission molecules (AIEgens) offer an ideal candidate for phototherapy due to their excellent luminescence efficiency, photothermal conversion capabilities, and biocompatibility. By optimizing the energy dissipation pathways of AIEgens through molecular design, multifunctional integration of photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy can be achieved.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0026] The BDTA molecule disclosed in the present invention is composed of benzobithiadiazole (BBT) as an electron acceptor, 9,10-dihydro-9,9-dimethylacridine (DDA) and thiophene (TH) as electron donors, and an alkyl group as a shielding group. It has balanced radiative transition ability, non-radiative transition ability and efficient intersystem crossing ability.

[0027] The nanoplatform provided by the present invention has significant photothermal conversion capabilities under 635nm laser irradiation, with a photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 87.6%. The nanoplatform provided by the present invention generates 1.7 times more singlet oxygen than control nanoparticles without curcumin.

[0028] This invention provides a nanoplatform that combines the AIE molecule BDTA with curcumin and enhances its tumor targeting through macrophage membrane modification. Curcumin not only downregulates the expression of the heat shock protein HSP-70, increasing PTT sensitivity, but also enhances singlet oxygen generation and photothermal conversion efficiency through the Förster resonance energy transfer mechanism, thereby improving the synergistic effect of photothermal and photodynamic therapy. This invention combines photodiagnosis and therapy with natural small molecules, providing new insights into the precision treatment of glioblastoma. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The extraction and purification steps of macrophage membranes are as follows: obtain RAW264.7 cell suspension and dilute it to 5×10 7 Cells were cultured at a concentration of 100 μg / mL and incubated on ice overnight under hypotonic conditions. The suspension was then extruded 30 times through a liposome extruder without a polycarbonate membrane to produce a homogenate.

The infrared thermal imager was used to record the changes in the surface temperature of the solution over time in real time, and the temperature-time curves at different concentrations were drawn.

[0072] c. A 0.5 mL aqueous solution of MPMs@Cur-BDTA NPs with a fixed concentration of 200 μg / mL was stirred at different power densities (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 W / cm 2 ) for 5 minutes.

[0073] d. A 0.5 mL aqueous solution of MPMs@Cur-BDTA NPs with a fixed concentration of 200 μg / mL was irradiated with a 635 nm laser (1.0 W / cm 2 ) for five on / off cycles. An infrared thermal imager continuously recorded temperature changes during irradiation. A temperature-time curve was plotted based on the temperature change data. The photothermal conversion efficiency was calculated based on the cooling curve.

[0074] 4. Singlet oxygen monitoring.

[0075] a. Prepare solutions of MPMs@BDTA NPs, MPMs@Cur-BDTA NPs, and methylene blue (MB). Use a spectrophotometer to adjust the concentration of the solution so that its absorbance at 635 nm is approximately 0.2.

[0080] b. Wash the collected cells 3 times with pre-cooled PBS, and 6 200 μL PBS was added to each cell to resuspend it and the cells were disrupted by cell disruptor.

[0081] c. Centrifuge the extract at 1500g for 10 minutes at 2°C. Take the supernatant and treat it with a rat heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Measure the absorbance at a wavelength of 450 nm.

[0082] 6. In vitro synergistic therapeutic effect.

[0083] a. Cells were plated at 1×10 5 Cells were seeded in 12-well plates at a density of 100 cells / well and cultured overnight to promote cell attachment.

[0084] b. On the next day, the culture medium was replaced with fresh culture medium containing different concentrations of Cur NPs, MPMs@BDTA NPs, or MPMs@Cur-BDTA NPs.

[0085] c. After 6 hours of incubation, the cells were exposed to 635 nm laser (1.0 W / cm 2 ) for 5 minutes.

[0086] d. Cell viability was assessed using CCK-8 assay (n = 6).

[0087] e. Flow cytometry was used to quantify cell apoptosis at a nanoparticle concentration of 60 µmol / mL. Flow cytometry can distinguish apoptotic cells, necrotic cells, and live cells by staining cells (Annexin V-FITC / PI staining).

[0088] 3. Conclusion

[0089] BDTA has a significant aggregation-induced emission effect, and its radiative transition rate, non-radiative transition rate, and intersystem crossing rate are 1.8×107 s -1 , 7.0×10 7 s -1 , 9.1×10 7 s -1 . There is a potential Förster resonance energy effect between curcumin and BDTA, which helps to sensitize photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy. Cell uptake experiments showed that macrophage membrane functionalization enhanced the interaction between nanoparticles and C6 cells and improved uptake efficiency. In terms of photothermal performance, concentration and laser power have a significant effect on its photothermal conversion, and the photothermal stability is good, with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 87.6%. Singlet oxygen monitoring shows that the singlet oxygen quantum yield of MPMs@Cur-BDTA NPs is higher than that of MPMs@BDTA NPs. In terms of inhibiting heat shock proteins, Cur can effectively inhibit the expression of HSP-70 in C6 cells and enhance the sensitivity of tumors to photothermal therapy. In vitro synergistic treatment experiments show that the synergistic treatment effects of photothermal, photodynamic and chemotherapy in MPMs@BDTANPs are significant, and the introduction of Cur can effectively improve the treatment effect and reduce the required concentration.
