Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nanomaterials, and particularly to a light-controlled carbon monoxide releasing system and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Carbon monoxide (CO), as an important gaseous signaling molecule, plays a key role in physiological processes such as neural communication, vasodilation, and anti-inflammation, and shows great therapeutic potential in the fields of cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, and tumor treatment. However, its clinical application faces many challenges: firstly, as a gaseous molecule, CO has the characteristics of a short half-life and a limited diffusion distance; secondly, existing carbon monoxide donor drugs mainly rely on passive transport, are easily non-specifically adsorbed or cleared by tissues, resulting in low drug utilization rate at the lesion site; in addition, these donor drugs usually release CO spontaneously, which may cause systemic side effects and limit their clinical application.
[0003] To solve these problems, researchers have developed a variety of stimulus-responsive carbon monoxide delivery systems, including microparticles that respond to endogenous stimuli (such as pH, reactive oxygen species, enzymes) and exogenous stimuli (such as magnetic fields, ultrasound, X-rays). However, these systems still have defects such as lack of targeting, imprecise time and space control, and imprecise control routes, and it is difficult to achieve precise spatio-temporal controlled delivery. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a light-controlled carbon monoxide releasing system and a preparation method thereof. The light-controlled carbon monoxide releasing system provided by the present invention has good targeting and controllability, and can achieve spatio-temporal resolved precise controlled release mediated by a near-infrared laser beam.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned invention purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] The present invention provides a carbon monoxide donor microparticle, which is self-assembled from components including upconversion nanoparticles, a carbon monoxide donor small molecule, and an amphiphilic polymer;
[0007] The upconversion nanoparticles are Tm 3+ -doped NaYbF4 nanoparticles;
[0008] The carbon monoxide donor small molecule is 3-hydroxyflavone.
[0009] Preferably, the amphiphilic polymer includes DSPE-PEG-NH2; the relative molecular weight of the DSPE-PEG-NH2 is 200-50000.
[0010] Preferably, the doping amount of Tm 3+ in the upconversion nanoparticles is 0.1-5 wt%.
[0011] The particle size of the upconversion nanoparticles is 40 to 60 nm.
[0012] Preferably, the mass ratio of the upconversion nanoparticles, the carbon monoxide donor small molecule and the amphiphilic polymer is 50 to 100:10:1;
[0013] The particle size of the carbon monoxide donor microparticles is 1.0 to 1.4 μm.
[0014] The present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned carbon monoxide donor microparticles, comprising the following steps:
[0015] Ultrasonically mix the upconversion nanoparticles, the carbon monoxide donor small molecule, the amphiphilic polymer and the organic solvent to obtain a mixed solution;
[0016] Remove the organic solvent in the mixed solution, mix the remaining substance with a buffer solution, and perform dialysis to obtain the carbon monoxide donor microparticles.
[0017] Preferably, the power of the ultrasonic mixing is 20 to 50 kHz, and the time is 3 to 5 min;
[0018] The cut-off molecular weight of the dialysis is 100 kDa.
[0019] The present invention provides a light-controlled carbon monoxide release system, comprising a trigger and the above-mentioned carbon monoxide donor microparticles;
[0020] The trigger is a near-infrared laser beam.
[0021] Preferably, the wavelength of the near-infrared laser beam is 700 to 1700 nm.
[0022] The present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned light-controlled carbon monoxide release system, comprising the following steps:
[0023] Assemble the near-infrared laser beam and the carbon monoxide donor microparticles to obtain a light-controlled carbon monoxide release system;
[0024] The assembly method is scanning optical tweezers assembly.
[0025] The present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned light-controlled carbon monoxide release system in the preparation of anti-inflammatory drugs, cardiovascular disease drugs or over-immune drugs.
[0026] The present invention provides a carbon monoxide donor microparticle, which is self-assembled from components including upconversion nanoparticles, a carbon monoxide donor small molecule and an amphiphilic polymer; the upconversion nanoparticles are Tm 3+Doped NaYbF4 nanoparticles; the carbon monoxide donor small molecule is 3-hydroxyflavone. In the present invention, the upconversion nanoparticles serve as the light-responsive core, the carbon monoxide donor molecules serve as the gas release source, and the amphiphilic polymer provides a stable carrier structure. In the present invention, the upconversion nanoparticles are doped with Tm 3+ Doped NaYbF4 nanoparticles, which have a refractive index as high as 1.47, significantly higher than the refractive index of the dispersion system in the use environment, and are thus easily captured by a near-infrared laser beam and optically manipulated. Under the excitation of near-infrared light, the upconversion nanoparticles can generate ultraviolet light and blue light, and the ultraviolet light can further excite the carbon monoxide donor small molecule 3-hydroxyflavone to release carbon monoxide, accompanied by the generation of green light. It is worth noting that when 3-hydroxyflavone releases carbon monoxide, the intensity of its green fluorescence will correspondingly decrease, and this phenomenon can be used as an effective indicator of carbon monoxide release. In addition, the amphiphilic polymer in the carbon monoxide donor particles plays a key role in the structure of the carbon monoxide donor particles, and it realizes the effective connection between the upconversion nanoparticles and the carbon monoxide donor small molecules.
[0027] The present invention provides a light-controlled carbon monoxide release system, comprising a trigger and the above-mentioned carbon monoxide donor particles; the trigger is a near-infrared laser beam. The core of the light-controlled carbon monoxide release system of the present invention lies in using a near-infrared laser to simultaneously achieve the positioning and manipulation of the carrier particles and the controllable release of gas molecules. By adjusting the laser power (10-1000 mW) and the irradiation time (1-120 s), the release rate of carbon monoxide can be precisely controlled. The present invention realizes the spatio-temporal resolution and precise controlled release mediated by a near-infrared laser beam through precise regulation of the nano-composite structure. The constructed carbon monoxide release system breaks through the technical bottlenecks of the traditional carbon monoxide donors lacking targeting and controllability, and shows significant advantages in the controllable release at specific sites in vivo, providing an innovative technical platform for precise gas therapy. The present invention provides technical support for the targeted separation of diseased cells and has important application value in the field of precision medicine for cardiovascular diseases such as thrombosis and anti-inflammatory, especially showing significant advantages in autoimmune hemolytic anemia, atherosclerotic plaque ablation, etc. In addition, the system also has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, providing a feasibility guarantee for clinical transformation.

Add 1 mL of PBS buffer to the solution containing the solid film, and perform ultrasonic treatment at a power of 20 - 50 kHz for 3 minutes to obtain a uniformly dispersed microparticle solution. Next, use an ultrafiltration centrifugal tube with a cut-off molecular weight of 100 kDa to centrifuge the microparticle solution at a speed of 4000 rpm for 10 minutes. After removing the supernatant, filter the centrifuged crude product with a polyethersulfone membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm to finally obtain a carbon monoxide donor microparticle solution with uniform particle size.

It can be seen from Figure 4 Figure [Figure number not provided in the original] that energy transfer has occurred successfully between the upconversion nanoparticles and the CO donor.
[0085] The green fluorescence spectrum graph of the obtained carbon monoxide donor microparticles excited after receiving the blue-violet light emitted by the upconversion is as shown in Figure 5 Figure [Figure number not provided in the original]. It can be seen from Figure 5 Figure [Figure number not provided in the original] that CO has been successfully released and emits green light.
[0086] Example 2
[0087] The carbon monoxide donor particle solution prepared in Example 1 was diluted with PBS buffer to obtain a particle solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL. 100 μL of the diluted particle solution was dropped onto a glass slide, and the glass slide was placed on the three-dimensional displacement platform of a Scanning Optical Tweezers system. Subsequently, the particles on the glass slide were irradiated with a near-infrared laser beam with a wavelength of 1064 nm (power: 100 mW, time: 10 s). The particles in the solution were captured and precisely manipulated by optical tweezers technology (spot diameter: 1000 nm, scanning frequency: 100 kHz). While inducing the release of carbon monoxide, the movement trajectories of the particles were navigated in real time.
[0088] Figure 6 Schematic diagrams of the movement trajectories of multiple typical light-controlled carbon monoxide release systems in Example 1 are shown. By Figure 6 analysis, it can be seen that the light-controlled carbon monoxide release system provided by the present invention can achieve precise regulation of the movement trajectories of carbon monoxide donor particles through optical regulation means. Its spatial positioning accuracy can reach the micron level, and the response time is in the millisecond range.
[0089] Application Example 1
[0090] The carbon monoxide donor particle solution prepared in Example 1 (initial concentration: 10 mg / mL) was serially diluted with sterile PBS buffer to a working concentration of 0.1 mg / mL and then inoculated into a pre-cultured cell co-incubation system. The Scanning Optical Tweezers system was used in the experiment. In an experimental device equipped with a three-dimensional nano-positioning platform and a confocal imaging module, a 1064 nm near-infrared laser (power: 100 mW, time: 10 s) was applied to achieve optical capture and subcellular-level precise positioning of the particles. Figure 7 It is a diagram showing the deactivation of platelets and inactivation of white blood cells induced and activated by the light-controlled carbon monoxide release system. Figure 7 In the figure, at 1 s, the particles were manipulated to the platelets and white blood cells, and CO was released. Subsequently, the pseudopods of the platelets retracted, and the antennae of the white blood cells retracted. Morphological analysis showed that after CO intervention, the pseudopods of the platelets retracted and the membranes of the white blood cells shrank, confirming that the light-controlled system can achieve spatiotemporally controllable CO delivery, effectively reverse the platelet activation cascade reaction, and regulate the inflammatory response of white blood cells.
[0091] Application Example 2
[0092] The carbon monoxide donor particle solution prepared in Example 1 was diluted with phosphate buffer to obtain a particle solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL. Through a microinjection device, 10 nL of the diluted particle solution was injected into the venous blood vessels of the thrombus zebrafish. Subsequently, the particles were precisely manipulated to the thrombus lesion site using a 1064 nm laser trapping technique (power 100 mW, time 10 s). As Figure 8 shown, at 1 s, the optical tweezers manipulated the particles to reach the leukocytes, releasing CO. After 64 s, the leukocytes were inactivated and the red blood cells and leukocytes were separated. This shows that the light-controlled carbon monoxide release system can release carbon monoxide at the lesion site and effectively control leukocyte activation. Then, the red blood cells attacked by the leukocytes were removed using the optical tweezers technique, thus achieving the treatment of leukocytic hemolysis. This process demonstrates the precise manipulation and treatment potential of the system.
[0093] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
