[0041] In the present invention, without special instructions, "eq" refers to "equivalent", and one equivalent (1eq) is the amount corresponding to a compound gaining / losing one electron.
[0042] In the present invention, the numbers for operations, reagents, etc. (such as "first mixing", "reagent A", "organic solvent A", etc.) are only used for facilitating the distinction of the corresponding operations and reagents in different steps in the description, and have no restrictive effect on the specific reagent selection and operation sequence / manner / conditions, etc. The operations / reagents with different numbers in different steps can be the same or different.
[0043] The currently developed exogenous stimulus-responsive nano-drug delivery systems mainly include two types: photo-responsive and ultrasound-responsive. Among them, the inventors of the present invention found during the research process that although the photo-responsive has good directivity, light is difficult to penetrate the skin, thus being limited to the application of skin surface tumors only. Moreover, long-term laser irradiation at a fixed position is likely to cause skin ulceration, resulting in unnecessary side effects. The action range of ultrasound is relatively wide and it has good penetrability. In addition, long-term ultrasound action will not only cause side effects, but also has certain effects such as promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, promoting nerve healing, and relieving pain, thus making the ultrasound-responsive nano-drug delivery system a more ideal system for the directional and controllable release of chemotherapy drugs. Through further research, the inventors ingeniously designed and synthesized precursor molecules with ultrasound-responsive activity respectively, and designed and synthesized a linking backbone molecule that can simultaneously load them through a condensation reaction, achieving the purpose of having both an ultrasound-responsive part and an ultrasound-cleavable part on the same drug molecule. In addition, the inventors also made the polymer have good amphiphilicity by ingenious design, improving the ability to load lipophilic small molecule chemotherapy drugs. The inventors further found through research that by self-assembling the ultrasound-responsive polymer with small molecule chemotherapy drugs to form nanoparticles with certain targeting functions, it is not only convenient for drug administration, but also can utilize the responsiveness of the polymer to achieve the controllable degradation of nanoparticles and the release of chemotherapy drugs, reducing the systemic side effects of the drugs.

[0177] Example 2
[0178] This example is used to illustrate the preparation of the drug-loading system (nanoparticles) provided by the present invention.
[0179] 40 mg of the compound SDP prepared in the example and 5 mg of olaparib were weighed and dissolved in 200 μL of DMSO. After complete dissolution, the solution was slowly added dropwise to 5 mL of ultrapure water and stirred for 10 min.

The obtained reaction product was placed in a dialysis bag (MWCO: 3500 Da) for dialysis to remove DMSO. After 48 h, the dialysis solution was obtained, centrifuged, and the supernatant was taken. After lyophilization, the drug-loading system nanoparticles (abbreviated as "NP-SDP") were obtained.
[0180] Test Example 1
[0181] This test example is used to illustrate the ability of the drug-loading system nanoparticles provided by the present invention to generate reactive oxygen species.
[0182] An appropriate amount of NP-SDP prepared in Example 2 was weighed and dissolved in water. The obtained solution was ultrasonically treated for 2 min under the conditions of 1 W / cm 2 , frequency 3 MHz, and duty cycle 50%. The ROS content in the solution was detected by an ESR spectrometer before and after ultrasonic treatment. The results are as Figure 8 shown. It can be seen from the figure that more ROS were generated after NP-SDP was ultrasonically treated.
[0183] The ultrasonic response principle of the polymer SDP is as Figure 9As shown, the compound provided by the present invention contains an ultrasonic response structure (blue part in the figure), an ultrasonic fracture structure (red part in the figure), a connecting skeleton (yellow part in the figure), and a capping agent (green part in the figure). Under the action of ultrasound, the ultrasonic fracture structure breaks, the SDP decomposes, and at the same time ROS is generated. When nanoparticles are prepared using SDP and the active pharmaceutical ingredient (such as olaparib in Example 2), under the action of ultrasonic waves, the SDP in the nanoparticles decomposes, thereby exposing the encapsulated active pharmaceutical ingredient and achieving precise drug release.
[0184] Test Example 2
[0185] This test example is used to illustrate the ultrasonic responsiveness of the compound provided by the present invention.
[0186] Weigh an appropriate amount of SDP prepared in Example 1 and dissolve it in water. The resulting solution is ultrasonically treated for 5 min under the conditions of 1 W / cm 2 , a frequency of 3 MHz, and a duty cycle of 50%. The SDP solution is detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) before and after ultrasound. The results are as Figure 10 shown. It can be seen from the figure that under the action of ultrasound, SDP significantly degrades, indicating that SDP has good ultrasonic responsiveness.
[0187] Test Example 3
[0188] This test example is used to illustrate the particle size and surface potential characterization results of the drug-loaded system nanoparticles provided by the present invention.
[0189] The particle size and surface potential of the nanoparticles NP-SDP prepared in Example 2 are characterized using a laser particle size analyzer (DLS, Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS90, Nano ZS, UK).
[0190] The results are shown in detail in Figure 11 . It can be seen from the figure that the average particle size of NP-SDP obtained by DLS detection is 105.5 nm, and the Zeta potential is about -22.7 mV.
[0191] Test Example 4
[0192] This test example is used to illustrate the ultrasonic responsiveness of the drug-loaded system nanoparticles provided by the present invention.
[0193] Weigh an appropriate amount of NP-SDP prepared in Example 2 and dissolve it in water. The resulting solution is ultrasonically treated for 5 min under the conditions of 1 W / cm 2 , a frequency of 3 MHz, and a duty cycle of 50%. The morphology of NP-SDP is detected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM, JEM-2200FS, Hitachi, Japan) before and after ultrasound. The results are asFigure 12 As shown, it can be seen from the figure that after the NP-SDP is ultrasonically treated, the overall structure and morphology are severely damaged, indicating that the NP-SDP exhibits strong ultrasonic responsiveness.
[0194] Test Example 5
[0195] This test example is used to illustrate the drug release effect of the drug-loaded system nanoparticles provided by the present invention.
[0196] Referring to Figure 13 the process in (A), the NP-SDP prepared in Example 2 was dissolved in water, and the obtained solution was ultrasonically treated under the conditions of 1 W / cm 2 , a frequency of 3 MHz, and a duty cycle of 50%, and the treatment times were 0, 30 s, 60 s, and 90 s respectively. The treated solutions were respectively loaded into ultrafiltration tubes and centrifuged to obtain filtrates without nanoparticles and macromolecular compounds. The obtained filtrates were respectively detected by HPLC, and the results are as Figure 13 shown in (B). It can be seen from the figure that olaparib was not found in the filtrate without ultrasonic treatment (NP-SDP + US 0 s), indicating that without ultrasonic treatment, the NP-SDP will not release the drug encapsulated therein. However, when ultrasonic treatment was carried out, olaparib was significantly detected in the filtrate (NP-SDP + US 30 s, NP-SDP + US 60 s, NP-SDP + US 90 s), and with the extension of the ultrasonic time, the release rate of olaparib increased significantly, indicating that the NP-SDP can achieve controllable drug release.
