Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of antimicrobial drugs, and in particular to an inflammation actively targeted antimicrobial drug composition, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Inflammation is a local infectious reaction caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas, and fungi, which can lead to excessive recruitment and differentiation of macrophages in local lesions. Antibiotics are effective in anti-inflammatory treatment. For example, doxycycline, thiamphenicol, and kitasamycin are different types of antibiotics that exert their antibacterial effects by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins. They bind to different subunits of bacterial ribosomes, blocking different links in the protein synthesis process, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth and reproduction and eliminating inflammation.
[0003] Existing antibiotic antimicrobial drugs generally have systemic effects and are widely distributed in the body. Long-term use can cause toxic side effects such as liver and kidney damage, dysbacteriosis, and allergic reactions. They may also be identified as foreign bodies and cleared by the reticuloendothelial system, making it impossible to accurately deliver the drug to the site of inflammation, resulting in uneven distribution of the drug in the body, reducing drug utilization and efficacy, and producing certain side effects.
[0004] When using antimicrobial drugs, the course of treatment should be shortened as much as possible to avoid increasing the incidence of drug-resistant strains and reduce adverse drug reactions. Based on this, it is necessary to provide an anti-inflammatory drug composition that is effective against pathogenic bacteria in inflammatory sites, increases circulation time in the blood system, targets inflammatory sites to enhance drug efficacy and shorten medication time. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, the present invention provides an inflammation active targeted antibacterial drug composition, which includes an anti-inflammatory drug and a carrier thereof, wherein the carrier is a dextran carboxymethylated with a halogenated organic acid and its sodium salt.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the carboxyl substitution degree of the carboxymethylated dextran is 20% to 60%, which refers to the ratio of hydroxyl groups in the dextran molecule replaced by carboxymethyl groups, that is, the percentage of the number of substituted hydroxyl groups to the total number of hydroxyl groups.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the mass of the drug carried by the carrier accounts for 5% to 80% of the total mass of the composition.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the halogenated organic acid is dichloroacetic acid.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the drug is a hydroxyl-containing antibiotic, including any one of doxycycline, thiamphenicol and kitasamycin.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the glucan is β-glucan, and its molecular weight is 8000 to 60000 Da.
[0011] Application of inflammation active targeted antibacterial drug composition in the preparation of anti-inflammatory drugs.
[0012] The method for preparing an inflammation active targeted antibacterial drug composition comprises the following steps:
[0013] S1: preparing carboxymethylated dextran, wherein the dextran and the halogenated organic acid and its sodium salt are connected through a carboxymethylation reaction;
[0014] S2: connecting the carboxymethylated dextran and the drug via an ester bond.
[0015] Furthermore, the specific process of step S1 is: weigh a certain amount of dextran, add a certain concentration of NaOH solution, and stir at room temperature; slowly add a mixed solution of halogenated organic acid and isopropanol, and stir at 50-60°C after the addition is completed; adjust the reaction system to neutral; pour in cold anhydrous ethanol, filter and wash the precipitated solid product several times, and put it into a vacuum oven to dry to obtain carboxymethyl dextran; the specific process of step S2 is: add carboxymethyl dextran, drugs, 3-ethylcarbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide in a certain molar ratio, dissolve in DMSO and stir, dialyze with a dialysis bag, and freeze-dry to obtain an inflammation active targeted antibacterial drug composition.
[0016] In the preferred scheme, the specific process of step S1 is: weigh a certain amount of dextran, add a certain concentration of NaOH solution, and stir at room temperature for 1 hour; slowly add a mixed solution of dichloroacetic acid and isopropanol, and stir at 50-60°C for 5 hours after the addition is completed; the molar ratio of dextran to dichloroacetic acid is 1:1-1:10; adjust the reaction system to neutral; pour in cold anhydrous ethanol, filter and wash the precipitated solid product several times, put it into a vacuum oven at 50°C to dry to obtain carboxymethyl dextran; the specific process of step S2 is: add carboxymethyl dextran, doxycycline, 3-ethylcarbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide in a certain molar ratio, dissolve in DMSO, stir at 35°C for 23 hours, dialyze with a dialysis bag for 48 hours, and freeze-dry to obtain an inflammation active targeted antibacterial drug composition.
[0017] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:
[0018] The inflammation active targeted antibacterial drug composition of the present invention is formed by combining carboxymethylated dextran with a drug. After entering the animal body, it self-assembles into nanoparticles with a shell-core structure, and its particle size is less than 200nm. Due to the hydrophilic shell (carboxymethylated dextran) and hydrophobic core (drug) of the nanoparticles, this structure can escape the recognition of the reticuloendothelial system, thereby prolonging the circulation time of the drug in the blood system, enabling the drug to be accurately targeted to the inflammation site and quickly released, reducing the accumulation in non-inflammatory sites, thereby reducing the toxic and side effects of the drug on other organs of the whole body. The composition uses dextran carboxymethylated by halogenated organic acid and its sodium salt as a carrier, and the carrier has the ability to specifically target macrophages. When the drug enters the body, the dextran can be recognized and engulfed by the Dectin-1 receptor on the surface of the macrophage, thereby carrying the drug to the inflammation site. This targeting significantly increases the concentration of the drug at the lesion site and enhances the anti-inflammatory effect.
[0019] After traditional antibiotics enter the body, they are often recognized and cleared by the reticuloendothelial system, resulting in the inability to accurately deliver the drugs to the site of inflammation, reducing the utilization rate and efficacy of the drugs. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention significantly improves the utilization rate and efficacy of the drugs by actively targeting and extending the circulation time, and reduces unnecessary side effects. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be applied to the treatment of a variety of inflammatory diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas, and fungi. In addition, due to the use of the broad-spectrum antibiotic doxycycline as a drug ingredient, its scope of application is more extensive.
[0020] The present invention covalently modifies the antibacterial drug and glucan for the first time, and the modified composition can reach the inflammation site with macrophages. Under the action of macrophage nonspecific esterase, the antibacterial drug is released, which can specifically eliminate the pathogenic microorganisms of the lesion, shorten the course of the disease, and reduce the systemic impact of the inflammation site on the diseased body.
[0021] The β-glucan of the present invention can be specifically recognized by the Dectin-1 receptor on the surface of macrophages and then phagocytosed by macrophages. As macrophages accumulate at inflammatory sites, the composition can form nanoparticles with a particle size range that can escape recognition by the reticuloendothelial system, thereby increasing systemic circulation time.
[0022] The mechanism of action of the inflammation active targeted antibacterial drug composition of the present invention is as follows:
[0023] When entering the body, since dextran is hydrophilic and the modified drug doxycycline is hydrophobic, it will self-assemble into a shell-core structure nanoparticle with a particle size of less than 200nm, which plays a protective role for the drug. The hydrophilic shell of the nanoparticle formed after entering the body is carboxymethylated dextran, and the inside is doxycycline. Since the particle size of the nanoparticle is less than 200nm, it can escape the recognition of the reticuloendothelial system and increase the circulation time of the drug in the blood system. When the nanoparticles pass through the inflammatory site, dextran can be recognized by the pattern recognition receptor Dectin-1 on the macrophages, and then be internalized by the macrophages. Doxycycline is released under the action of macrophage non-specific esterase, achieving precise targeted anti-inflammatory effect on pathogenic bacteria in the inflammatory site.

[0033] As a carboxylating agent, dichloroacetic acid has the characteristics of low cost, fast reaction and good removal, and can efficiently introduce active carboxyl groups into dextran. Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commonly used in the treatment of bacterial, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other infections. It is currently one of the most widely used antibiotics for livestock and poultry. It is used to prevent and treat bacterial infections such as the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and urinary tract of livestock and poultry, especially for diseases such as Escherichia coli, Pasteurella, and mycoplasma infections.

[0039] DMSO, whose Chinese name is dimethyl sulfoxide, is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH3)2SO. It is one of the most important polar aprotic solvents. It has a strong solubility and can dissolve many inorganic salts and organic substances. It is often used as a solvent or carrier for certain drugs.

The signal intensity becomes stronger over time, and the fluorescence at 4 h is the strongest, indicating that carboxymethyl dextran doxycycline can be targeted and taken up by macrophages and continuously accumulates in the cells.
[0075] Drug release test of carboxymethyl dextran doxycycline: Taking the carboxymethyl dextran doxycycline prepared in Example 4 as an example, carboxymethyl dextran doxycycline was mixed with 3.6 U·mL -1 The esterase was co-incubated in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer for 8 h, and samples were taken at different time points.
