Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the use of a conjugate in the preparation of a drug for diagnosing or treating colorectal cancer and related diseases. The present disclosure also relates to a method for diagnosing or treating colorectal cancer and related diseases. Background Art

[0002] Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common fatal disease. About 70% of newly diagnosed colorectal cancers each year are colon cancers, and most of the rest originate from the rectum. The incidence of colorectal cancer in my country is very high, with the majority of cases occurring in the middle and late stages, and there is an increasing trend year by year.

[0003] Most colorectal cancers are diagnosed after symptoms appear, through colonoscopy screening, non-invasive stool testing, or removal of tissue samples for testing (biopsy). Studies have shown that early screening can detect asymptomatic early malignancies and reduce mortality. However, although the accuracy and convenience of colorectal cancer diagnosis are relatively low, relatively few people are screened. Therefore, in the early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer, it is of great significance to detect the presence of colorectal cancer earlier.

[0004] In clinical practice, colorectal cancer is generally treated with a comprehensive treatment based on surgery, as well as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy. Because targeted therapies have a more concentrated effect, their side effects tend to be smaller than chemotherapy. However, the actual impact and its severity depend largely on its targeting accuracy. There are also some unmet clinical needs for targeted therapy, for example: most targeted drugs are not suitable for all cancer patients, and only when genetic testing shows gene mutations can the corresponding targeted drugs be used for treatment, and some drugs will have greater side effects when used, such as dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, etc., and different targeted drugs have different side effects.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new targeted treatment and diagnostic methods for colorectal cancer. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present disclosure provides a use of a conjugate in the preparation of a drug for diagnosing or treating colorectal cancer, wherein the conjugate comprises one or more delivery groups and one or more functional groups, each of the delivery groups is independently connected to at least one of the functional groups or other delivery groups through at least one linking group, and each functional group is independently connected to at least one of the delivery groups or at least one other functional group through at least one linking group;

[0007] Each of the functional groups is independently one of a diagnostic agent group, a small molecule therapeutic agent group having a therapeutic effect on colorectal cancer, a functional oligonucleotide group having a therapeutic effect on colorectal cancer, and a delivery aid group;

[0008] The delivery group is formed by removing one or more hydrogen atoms or one or more functional groups from an aptamer, wherein the aptamer comprises a continuous nucleotide sequence, wherein the group connecting two adjacent nucleotides is independently a phosphate group or a phosphate group with a modified group, and each nucleotide is selected from one of modified or unmodified A, U, C or G, and the continuous nucleotide sequence has a sequence shown in formula (1):

[0009] 5'-T1-S1-N a -S2-N b -S3-N c -S4-T2-3' formula (1)

[0010] Wherein, T1 is a motif consisting of 1-3 nucleotides, T2 is a motif consisting of 0-15 nucleotides, and T2 does not contain a motif that is completely reverse complementary to T1;

[0011] S1 and S4 are each a motif consisting of 3-7 nucleotides, S1 and S4 are of the same length and are completely reverse complementary;

[0012] N a and N c Each is a motif consisting of 1-4 nucleotides, N a Each nucleotide in c Each nucleotide in N is not complementary, and N a and N c The total number of U in N a and N c More than 50% of the total number of nucleotides in

[0013] S2 and S3 are each a motif consisting of 1-4 nucleotides, S2 and S3 are of the same length and are completely reverse complementary;

[0014] N b is a motif consisting of 3-6 nucleotides, and N b The nucleotides at both ends do not form AU or GC complementarity.
