Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical material preparation technology, specifically to a bismuth-oxymethyl methacrylate hybrid nanocluster with a bamboo-like structure, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Cancer remains a significant threat to human health. Radiotherapy is currently one of the most important treatments in clinical practice, used by over 50% of cancer patients. However, due to the low absorption and utilization rate of X-rays by cells, radiotherapy alone is not very effective, often requiring high radiation doses, which inevitably damage normal tissues. Using biocompatible nanomaterials as radiosensitizers can enhance X-ray utilization in the lesion area and strengthen tumor cell killing through the interaction between the material and X-rays, potentially reducing the total X-ray dose while avoiding excessive radiation side effects on surrounding normal tissues. Therefore, developing nanomaterials with high X-ray utilization efficiency is an important direction for improving the field of tumor radiotherapy.
[0003] Bismuth is the heaviest non-radioactive element, exhibiting high absorption and attenuation coefficients for X-rays, with a K-edge absorption energy as high as 90.5 keV, earning it the nickname "green element." As early as the last century, bismuth-containing compounds were used to treat gastrointestinal diseases, demonstrating good therapeutic effects and biocompatibility. Therefore, in recent years, bismuth nanomaterials have been widely used as radiosensitizers and CT contrast agents, showing great potential. However, these materials focus on binary or ternary compounds with defined molecular structures, lacking functional exploration of other bismuth-based materials, thus failing to reveal the crucial properties of bismuth-based materials in radiotherapy. Furthermore, these materials often incorporate other elements not found in the human body, inevitably limiting their application. Studies of the physiological functions of existing bismuth-containing drugs have revealed that the bismuth-oxygen structure is the main component. Therefore, exploring novel bismuth-based materials around the bismuth-oxygen structure is a crucial strategy for developing novel bismuth-based contrast agents. However, only some work has involved the construction of micron-scale cluster structures; research on the controllable preparation and application of nanoscale bismuth-oxygen clusters has not yet been reported.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have been dedicated to developing bismuth-oxygen nanoclusters with unique structures for use as radiosensitizers, thereby more effectively killing tumor cells. Exploring the construction methods, structure and performance regulation mechanisms of bismuth-oxygen nanoclusters by simulating clinically active ingredients, and revealing more properties of bismuth-based nanomaterials in radiotherapy using a bladder cancer model, is of great significance and has broad application prospects. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a bismuth-oxymethacrylic acid hybrid nanocluster with a bamboo-like structure, its preparation method, and its applications. This addresses the current challenges of preparing inorganic-organic hybrid materials and controlling their assembly structures. A one-step method is used to construct bismuth-oxygen clusters composed of methacrylic acid monomers, exhibiting a bamboo-like nanomorphology and a bamboo-like structure. The nanoclusters show significant toxicity after endocytosis by bladder cancer cells and achieve highly efficient inhibition of bladder cancer cell proliferation under X-ray irradiation. This invention is the first to report a bismuth-oxymethacrylic acid hybrid nanocluster with a bamboo-like structure and explores the mechanistic regulation of the nanostructure. It also provides potential nano-formulations for the treatment of bladder cancer, demonstrating extremely high benefits in nanomaterial construction and clinical diagnosis and treatment.
