Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular relates to an in situ sustained delivery system of NO targeting myocardial cell mitochondria, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] NO (Nitric oxide) is a vital gas signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system. It plays an indispensable role in maintaining normal vascular physiological functions and finely regulating vascular homeostasis. Specifically, NO can reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by relaxing vascular tension, inhibiting platelet aggregation, and regulating inflammatory responses. It can also inhibit the activity of complex I in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, thereby limiting the generation of mitochondrial ROS (reactive oxygen species), further preventing the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), reducing the release of cytochrome c and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. However, NO is like a "double-edged sword". Its efficacy shows an extremely strict dose-dependency. Once the dose is too high, it will induce cell apoptosis and produce toxicity. In addition, when nitric oxide is released systemically, it will also cause a series of side effects such as decreased blood pressure and accelerated heart rate. These unfavorable factors seriously limit the scope of application and effect of NO in clinical treatment.
[0003] Myocardial infarction is one of the key factors leading to death from cardiovascular diseases. In the case of myocardial infarction, timely reperfusion therapy can effectively prevent myocardial cell necrosis to a certain extent. However, the process of blood reperfusion will induce myocardial cell death and fibrosis, which will aggravate and further amplify the degree of myocardial ischemia damage, and eventually form a complex and difficult condition of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. At present, there are many clinical methods for the treatment of myocardial infarction, including vascular bypass and coronary stent implantation. These methods can indeed restore cardiac perfusion relatively quickly and effectively, but the ischemic process often causes irreversible damage to myocardial cells, and subsequent blood reperfusion will make the situation worse and further aggravate this damage. Taking nitroglycerin as an example, it can be converted and release NO inside the cell, thereby achieving the physiological effect of relaxing vascular smooth muscle, thereby achieving the therapeutic effect of dilating blood vessels and increasing coronary blood perfusion. However, the current oral and intravenous delivery of NO lacks targeting, and the effect of improving the ischemic microenvironment and inhibiting cell apoptosis is unsatisfactory. Currently, clinical treatment still lacks feasible and effective NO targeted delivery preparations. Summary of the invention

The grafted polymer was neutralized with NaOH and precipitated with excess anhydrous ethanol, and dried at room temperature in the atmosphere to obtain the product GelMA-PPY.
[0073] Preparation of GelMA-PPY-PDA gel matrix: Prepare a 4.12% GelMA aqueous solution and set aside. Use ultrasound to disperse 0.4 mg of GelMA-PPY solid powder in 96 μL of Gel MA aqueous solution. Add 96 μL of 8.33% PEGDA aqueous solution and 4 μL of 2% polydopamine aqueous solution, and stir to mix until a uniform solution I is obtained.
[0074] Prepare a 0.25% mass volume fraction initiator standard solution: Take 20mL PBS, add it to a brown bottle containing 0.05g initiator LAP, heat it in a 40-50℃ water bath to dissolve for 15 minutes, shake it several times during the period, and set it aside. Take the initiator standard solution to prepare 196μL of 8.24% mass volume fraction GelMA solution, heat it in a 60-70℃ water bath in the dark for 20-30 minutes, shake it several times during the period, and obtain solution II.
[0075] Add solution I to solution II, mix thoroughly, add to the mold, heat in a 50°C water bath under negative pressure to remove bubbles (repeat 3 to 4 times), heat and concentrate in an oven at 30 to 35°C twice, each time for 5 hours, heat and concentrate to a viscous state, avoid excessive drying, and finally use UV405nm light curing to obtain the GelMA-PPY-PDA gel matrix.
[0076] The results are as follows Fig.10 , 11 As shown in Figure 12, the CV curve and impedance curve of the conductive microneedle patch were analyzed by an electrochemical workstation, proving that the hydrogel modified with PPY and PDA has good conductivity. The H-NMR spectrum of GelMA-PPY-PDA has obvious amide groups and hydroxyl groups, indicating that PPY and PDA have been successfully attached to the surface of GelMA.

[0079] 3 mg of L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles were added to the 0.25% photoinitiator solution to disperse and dissolve, and then 30 mg of GelMA-PPY-PDA powder and 126 mg of GelMA powder were added to obtain solution III.
[0080] Solution III was added to solution II of Example 3, and after thorough mixing, the mixture was added to the mold, heated in a 50°C water bath under negative pressure to remove bubbles (repeat 3 to 4 times), and concentrated in an oven at 30-35°C for 2 times, each time for 5 h, and heated and concentrated to a viscous state to avoid excessive drying. Finally, the mixture was cured with UV 405nm light to obtain a microneedle patch doped with L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles.
[0081] The results are as follows Fig.13 It shows that the microneedle patch has microneedles on its surface, and L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles are randomly distributed at the needle tips of the NO microneedle patch made of GelMA-PPY-PDA gel matrix.
[0082] Example 5

The remaining operations were the same as those of Example 4 to obtain a microneedle patch doped with L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles.
[0084] The results showed that the needle tips of the prepared NO microneedle patch were randomly distributed, which was in line with the expected preparation effect.

[0086] Experimental study on co-localization of L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes
[0087] Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes NRCM were extracted and cultured in a culture dish covered with gelatin, with 8000 cells per well. After culturing the cells with cardiomyocyte culture medium for 12 hours, the L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles prepared in Example 2 were added thereto, and the final content of L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles was 40 μg / mL. After incubation for 2, 4, 18 and 24 hours, Hoechst dye and mitochondrial dye were added to incubate the cells for 10 minutes, and the cells were washed 3 times with PBS and observed under a laser confocal microscope.
[0088] The results are as follows Fig.14It was shown that there was no obvious green fluorescence in NRCM after incubation for 2h and 4h, indicating that NRCM did not take up a large amount of L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles. After incubation for 18h and 24h, the red fluorescence of NRCM overlapped with the green fluorescence to a large extent, showing yellow fluorescence, where the green fluorescence came from FITC-labeled L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles, the red fluorescence indicated mitochondria, and the blue indicated the nucleus. The results showed that L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles could achieve targeted delivery to mitochondria.

[0090] In vivo fluorescence imaging of microneedle patches doped with L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles after implantation into the mouse heart
[0091] Construction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model: 8-week-old C57 male mice were used, instruments were sterilized, animal skin was prepared and disinfected, and mice were fully anesthetized with 1% pentobarbital at a dose of 200 mg / kg intraperitoneally. The mice were placed in a supine position, and then the neck tissue was separated under a microscope and intubated to connect to a ventilator. The respiratory rate was adjusted to 120 times / minute and the tidal volume was 2 mL. A 1.2 cm transverse incision was made between the fourth and fifth intercostal spaces on the left edge of the sternum, and the heart was separated layer by layer to expose the heart. The left anterior descending artery was ligated, and the apex of the heart was whitened due to ischemia. After 30 minutes, the ligature was cut off, the intercostal muscles, chest wall muscles and skin were sutured, and the endotracheal tube was removed after the mouse had reflexes. The postoperative wound was disinfected with iodine, and the mouse was put back into the cage when it could breathe autonomously and crawl on its own. The model was successfully constructed.
[0092] The sham group (sham) was operated in the same manner as above except that the ligature was not performed. The treatment group was immediately affixed with the microneedle patch doped with L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles prepared in Example 4 after the ligature was removed. The other steps were the same as above. The microneedle patch was attached to the heart with the aid of α-ethyl cyanoacrylate. After 1, 2, and 3 weeks of treatment, the mouse heart was taken and placed under an in vivo fluorescence imager to observe the fluorescence distribution.
[0093] The results are as follows Fig.15 The results showed that the fluorescence signal in the mouse heart persisted for up to 3 weeks, but the signal intensity gradually weakened with time, indicating that the microneedle patch can ensure NO delivery within 3 weeks, and that L-Ar g@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles are metabolized out of the body during the treatment process and will not be deposited in the body.

[0095] Experimental study on the improvement of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice by the GelMA-PPY-PDA microneedle patch prepared in Example 3 and the GelMA-PPY-PDA microneedle patch doped with L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles prepared in Example 4
[0096] Eight-week-old C57 male mice were used to establish a mouse myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model. The mice with successful modeling were randomly divided into 6 groups, with 10 mice in each group, one group was a negative control group (the mouse myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I / RI) model was not treated), one group was a mouse myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model treated with the conductive microneedles prepared in Example 3 (I / RI+GelMA-PPY-PDA group), and one group was a mouse myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model treated with the conductive microneedles prepared in Example 4 (I / RI+GelMA-PPY-PDA group). A group of mice were treated with microneedles doped with L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles to treat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I / RI+L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP+GelMA-PPY-PDA group), a group of mice were treated with microneedles doped with L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles to treat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I / RI+L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP+GelMA group), and a group of mice were treated with microneedles doped with L-Arg to treat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I / RI+L-Arg+GelMA-PPY group). The last group of sham-operated healthy mice served as the positive control group. The heart tissue of the mice was taken to detect myocardial cell apoptosis on the 3rd day of treatment, and the cardiac function of the mice was detected after 3 weeks of treatment.
[0097] The results are as follows Fig.16 and 17 It was shown that after 3 weeks of treatment with the microneedle patch, cardiac ultrasound was used to detect the cardiac function of each group. It was found that the cardiac function of mice in the I / RI group was poor, while the LVEF and LVFS of mice in the I / RI+L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP+GelM A-PPY-PDA group were significantly improved, indicating that the microneedle patch loaded with L-Arg@ZIF-90-TPP nanoparticles can significantly improve cardiac function and has a good therapeutic effect. The serum of mice after 3 weeks of treatment was taken to detect liver and kidney function indicators. By comparing the positive control group and the negative control group, the conductive microneedles prepared in Example 3 and Example 4 did not cause acute damage to the liver and kidney of mice, indicating that the prepared microneedle patch and ZIF-90 nanocarrier have good biocompatibility and will not cause toxic side effects to normal organs.

It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
