AI Technical Summary
Deaminotyrosine is easily hydrolyzed or oxidized in the physiological environment, resulting in rapid metabolism in the body, making it difficult to reach an effective concentration and affecting its efficacy.
Zr-MOFs were synthesized by combining Zr-MOFs with deaminotyrosine using ZrOCl2•8H2O, TCPP, and benzoic acid in specific ratios and concentrations. The Zr-MOFs were then reacted with deaminotyrosine to prepare DAT@Zr-MOFs, forming a stable nanoparticle carrier.
The prepared DAT@Zr-MOF nanoparticles have uniform deaminotyrosine loading, good stability, low cytotoxicity, and are not easily decomposed in body fluids and high-temperature environments, making them suitable for long-term in vivo circulation and external application for treating wounds and promoting tissue repair.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the pharmaceutical field, specifically to a method for preparing and applying a metal carrier loaded with deaminotyrosine. Background Technology
[0002] Deaminotyrosine (DAT), also known as p-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid, is a metabolite derived from gut microbiota. Studies have shown that DAT possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid metabolism-regulating effects, demonstrating promising applications in reducing inflammatory responses, controlling infection, anti-aging, antioxidant therapy, and neuronal protection. However, because DAT is easily degraded by enzymes or oxidized in the physiological environment, its free molecules are rapidly metabolized in vivo, making it difficult to achieve effective concentrations.
[0003] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials formed by the self-assembly of metal ions / clusters and organic ligands. They possess characteristics such as high specific surface area, tunable pore size, and surface functionalization, and are widely used in drug delivery, catalysis, and gas adsorption. The structural flexibility of MOFs allows for the tuning of their properties through the design of ligands and metal nodes. Among them, Zr... 4+ Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) are a class of metals based on zirconium ions (Zr). 4+ Zr-MOFs are porous materials with metal nodes and organic ligands as connecting units. Due to their ultra-high stability, structural diversity, and functional tunability, they have become a research hotspot in the field of MOFs. The high bond energy of the Zr-O bond in Zr-MOFs (approximately 800 kJ / mol) endows the materials with excellent chemical stability, making them resistant to decomposition in body fluids (pH 4-8), blood, and high-temperature environments, thus preventing premature drug leakage. Compared to liposomes or polymer micelles, Zr-MOFs exhibit strong resistance to degradation by proteases, nucleases, and other biological enzymes, making them suitable for long-term in vivo circulation. Furthermore, Zr-MOFs have a specific surface area of up to 3000 m² / g, and their microporous / mesoporous structure (0.5-3 nm) can physically adsorb or chemically bond drug molecules, achieving drug loading capacities as high as 30%-50% (by weight). Simultaneously, Zr... 4+ It is a biologically inert metal, and its metabolic products (such as ZrO2) are non-toxic and can be slowly excreted through the kidneys, making it relatively safe for long-term use.
[0004] To overcome the problem that deaminotyrosine is easily enzymatically hydrolyzed and oxidized, our laboratory has explored a metal carrier capable of loading deaminotyrosine by combining Zr-MOFs with deaminotyrosine. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing and applying a metal carrier loaded with deaminotyrosine, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
