Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Advanced melanoma has strong invasiveness and mortality, which is a great threat to human health. For many years, the incidence of melanoma has been rising, especially in areas with strong ultraviolet light. The current treatment methods for melanoma mainly include Mohs surgery and chemotherapy. Mohs surgery is relatively effective for early-stage melanoma, but the treatment effect is poor for patients who have metastasis, and chemotherapy and other means must be used to completely remove the residual tumor tissue and cancer cells as much as possible to improve the survival rate of patients. On the other hand, most clinical chemotherapy drugs cannot target cancer cells and tissues, and often have problems such as toxic side effects and drug resistance. In view of the characteristics of melanoma as a superficial cancer, more effective drugs and drug delivery methods can be developed to target tumor sites to minimize systemic side effects.

[0003] Nanoscale enzymes are a class of artificial enzymes that have attracted attention due to their unique catalytic properties and potential in cancer treatment. Compared with traditional chemotherapy, the significant features and advantages of nanoscale enzymes are their ability to selectively kill tumor cells by catalyzing the high levels of endogenous hydrogen peroxide in tumors to produce reactive oxygen species. This highly selective treatment method significantly reduces damage to normal tissues and improves treatment safety. In addition, nanoscale enzymes exhibit high stability, tunability, and potential for combination therapy. However, nanoscale enzymes are generally large in size, making it difficult to deliver them transdermally, which limits their application in the treatment of superficial tumors and diseases.

[0105] It should be noted that the iron loadings of Example 1, Example 5 and Example 6 are all based on the total mass of the Fe-BN nanoscale enzyme being 100%.

[0106] Example 7

[0107] Investigation of the effect of solid-phase reaction temperature (calcination temperature) in step 1.4 on the average particle size of Fe-BN

[0108] Example 7

[0109] The same as example 1, except that the calcination temperature in step 1.4 in the tube furnace is not the same, the calcination temperature in example 1 is 900℃, and the calcination temperature in example 7 is 1000℃, and the average particle size of the prepared Fe-BN is 7.6nm.

[0110] The average particle size of the Fe-BN prepared when the calcination temperature in example 1 is 900℃ is 7.5nm, the average particle size of the Fe-BN prepared when the calcination temperature in example 4 is 800℃ is 15.2nm, and the average particle size of the Fe-BN prepared when the calcination temperature in example 7 is 1000℃ is 7.6nm. Comparing the experimental results of example 1, example 4 and example 7, it can be seen that when the calcination temperature is 800-1000℃, the average particle size of the Fe-BN nanometer enzyme prepared is less than 25nm, and when the calcination temperature is 900-1000℃, the average particle size of the Fe-BN prepared is less than 10nm; at the same time, when the calcination temperature increases from 900℃ to 1000℃, the average particle size of the Fe-BN nanometer enzyme is not much different. Considering the cost of calcination, the optimal calcination temperature is 900℃.

[0111] Example 8-Example 9

[0112] Investigation of the effect of solid phase reaction time in step 1.4 on the average particle size of Fe-BN

[0113] Example 8

[0114] The same as example 1, except that the calcination time in step 1.4 in the tube furnace is not the same, the calcination time in example 1 is 1h, and the calcination time in example 8 is 0.1h, and the average particle size of the prepared Fe-BN is 18.5nm.

[0115] Example 9

[0116] The same as example 1, except that the calcination time in step 1.4 in the tube furnace is not the same, the calcination time in example 1 is 1h, and the calcination time in example 9 is 2h, and the average particle size of the prepared Fe-BN is 7.3nm.

[0117] Comparing the experimental data of example 1, example 8 and example 9, it can be seen that the calcination time is related to the average particle size of Fe-BN. When the calcination time is less than 1h, the average particle size of the prepared Fe-BN becomes smaller as the calcination time increases. When the calcination time is greater than 1h, the average particle size of the prepared Fe-BN is not much related to the calcination time, indicating that the optimal calcination time is 1h.

[0122] Step 2.3, adding 20 mg of polyethyleneimine into the Fe-BN / BF solution obtained in Step 2.2, and magnetically stirring at 250 rpm for 2 h to obtain a Fe-BN / BF / polyethyleneimine solution.

[0133] Examples 26-31 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2

[0134] Influence of Fe-BN nanoszyme with different iron loadings and different particle sizes on skin permeability was investigated

[0135] The transdermal enhancer used in Examples 26-31 is exactly the same as that in Example 10 (2 mg of pararosaniline hydrochloride, 20 mg of polyethyleneimine, 40 mg of polyglutamic acid, and 80 mg of protamine), and the active agent used is the Fe-BN nanoszyme prepared in Examples 4-9, and the iron loading and average particle size of the Fe-BN nanoszyme added in each example are shown in Table 2.

[0136] The transdermal enhancer used in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is exactly the same as that in Example 10 (2 mg of pararosaniline hydrochloride, 20 mg of polyethyleneimine, 40 mg of polyglutamic acid, and 80 mg of protamine), and the active agent used is boron nitride nanoparticles with other particle sizes, and the specific particle size is shown in Table 2.

[0137] Table 2 Influence of Fe-BN nanoszyme with different iron loadings and different particle sizes on skin permeability

[0138]

[0139]

[0140] As can be seen from Table 2, the Fe-BN nanoszyme prepared by the preparation method of iron-loaded boron nitride nanoszyme provided by the application has an average particle size of less than 20 nm, and has good transdermal performance when used for preparing a transdermal drug delivery preparation; the transdermal drug delivery preparation prepared by Comparative Example 1 using 25 nm boron nitride nanoparticles as raw material has general skin permeability, and only a small amount can penetrate, and the transdermal drug delivery preparation prepared by Comparative Example 2 using 100 nm boron nitride nanoparticles as raw material has poor skin permeability and cannot penetrate at all.

[0141] It should be noted that in the present application, the method for evaluating skin permeability is specifically: using a fluorescent substance (such as a fluorescent dye or a fluorescently labeled nanomaterial) as a tracer, the technology for tracking the distribution, migration and metabolic process of the target substance in vivo or in vitro by detecting the fluorescent signal emitted thereby. The basic steps of the method are as follows: first, in an aqueous solution, the Fe-BN nanomaterial is stirred and mixed with rhodamine B dye for 6 hours to ensure that the two are fully combined. Subsequently, the uncombined rhodamine B is removed by centrifugal treatment, and the precipitate is redispersed in deionized water. Next, the transdermal penetration enhancer is added to the dispersion and stirred overnight at room temperature to ensure uniform mixing. Next, take an appropriate amount of rhodamine B labeled Fe-BN nanoscale enzyme transdermal preparation solution and evenly apply it to the specific skin site of the tumor-bearing mouse. After application, keep for a certain period of time (such as 3-12 hours), and wash off the surface adhering drug with water. Subsequently, the mouse is dissected, and the drug-treated skin, subcutaneous tissue (tumor or muscle) is removed, and analyzed by a small animal fluorescence imaging system. By observing the fluorescence signal intensity appearing in the subcutaneous tissue, the skin permeability of the Fe-BN nanoscale enzyme is determined. A strong fluorescence signal indicates good skin permeability, and vice versa.

[0142] The above is a further detailed description of the present application in combination with specific preferred embodiments, and cannot be considered as limiting the specific implementation of the present application to these descriptions. For ordinary skilled persons in the technical field to which the present application belongs, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of simple deductions and substitutions can be made, which should be considered as falling within the protection scope of the present application.
