Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a drug-loading system of a COF nano-drug carrier and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of... Background Art
[0002] In drug delivery systems, nano-drug carriers have received extensive attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties, as well as their ability to improve drug solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Traditional nano-drug carriers, such as liposomes, polymer nanoparticles, and inorganic nanoparticles, have achieved significant success clinically. However, these carriers still face some challenges in aspects such as drug loading capacity, biocompatibility, and controllable drug release.
[0003] Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a class of emerging nanomaterials, have regular pore structures, high specific surface areas, and excellent chemical stability, which make them potential drug carriers. COFs can be formed by covalent bonds between precisely designed organic monomers, allowing for fine-tuning of pore size and shape to match different drug molecules. In addition, the porous structure of COFs provides the possibility of high drug loading capacity, and the functional groups on their surfaces can be used for targeted drug delivery and controllable release.
[0004] However, despite the great potential of COFs as drug carriers, research on their practical applications, especially in drug-loading systems and preparation methods, is still limited. Therefore, developing a COF-based nano-drug carrier and its drug-loading system and optimizing its preparation method to improve drug loading efficiency and stability have important research significance and practical application value. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a drug-loading system of a COF nano-drug carrier and a preparation method thereof to solve the problems.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: A drug-loading system of a COF nano-drug carrier and a preparation method thereof, including the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Synthesize COF nanoparticles;
[0008] Further, it is synthesized through the following steps:
[0009] S11: Mix TAPB and DMTPA, and add a mixed solvent of mesitylene and 1,4-dioxane that is sufficient to dissolve TAPB and DMTPA;
[0010] S12: Add an acetic acid catalyst and seal the reaction vessel;
[0011] S13. Conduct a solvothermal reaction for 72 hours under constant temperature and humidity conditions.
[0012] S14. After the reaction, collect the product by centrifugation and wash it repeatedly with absolute ethanol and deionized water to remove unreacted raw materials and impurities.
[0013] S15. Dry the product in a vacuum drying oven to obtain porous COF nanoparticles.
[0014] Step Two. Prepare an adriamycin drug-loading system.
[0015] Further, it is prepared through the following steps:
[0016] S21. Dissolve adriamycin in phosphate buffer to form a drug solution.
[0017] S22. Disperse the COF nanoparticles prepared in Step One in another portion of phosphate buffer to form a uniform suspension.
[0018] S23. Mix the drug solution prepared in S21 with the COF nanoparticle suspension prepared in S22 and gently shake it in a constant temperature shaker to allow adriamycin molecules to be loaded onto the COF nanoparticles by physical adsorption.
[0019] S24. After the loading is completed, collect the drug-loading system by centrifugation and wash it with phosphate buffer to remove unloaded adriamycin.
[0020] S25. Dry the drug-loading system in a vacuum drying oven to obtain an adriamycin drug-loading system of COF.
[0021] Preferably, in Step S11, 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene is selected as TAPB, and 2,5-dimethoxyterephthalaldehyde is selected as DMTPA as organic monomers for constructing COF nanoparticles.

[0026] Preferably, in Step S21, the loading amount of adriamycin accounts for 5% to 20% of the mass of the COF nanoparticles.
[0027] Preferably, in step S24, washing is performed through the following steps:
[0028] S241. Use a phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 7.4 to redisperse the drug-loaded system precipitate obtained by centrifugation in PBS to form a suspension;
[0029] S242. Gently shake or oscillate the suspension to promote the release and diffusion of the non-loaded doxorubicin into the phosphate buffer solution;
[0030] S243. Perform centrifugal separation again to separate the washed drug-loaded system from the phosphate buffer solution;
[0031] S244. Repeat steps S241 - S243 multiple times, centrifuge to collect the washed drug-loaded system, and then perform vacuum drying to remove residual moisture and solvents.

[0038] Preparation process: 1. Mix TAPB and DMTPA, and add them to the mixed solvent of mesitylene and 1,4-dioxane, and stir evenly.
[0039] 2. Add an acetic acid catalyst and seal the reaction vessel.
[0040] 3. Carry out a solvothermal reaction for 72 hours under the conditions of 25 °C and 50% relative humidity.
[0041] 4. After the reaction is completed, the product is collected by centrifugation and washed repeatedly with absolute ethanol and deionized water to remove unreacted raw materials and impurities.
[0042] 5. The product is dried in a vacuum drying oven to obtain porous COF nanoparticles.
[0043] 6. Doxorubicin is dissolved in phosphate buffer (PBS) to form a drug solution.
[0044] 7. The COF nanoparticles are dispersed in another portion of PBS to form a homogeneous suspension.
[0045] 8. The drug solution is mixed with the COF nanoparticle suspension and gently shaken in a thermostatic shaker to load doxorubicin molecules onto the COF nanoparticles.
[0046] 9. After the loading is completed, the drug-loaded system is collected by centrifugation and washed with PBS to remove unloaded doxorubicin.
[0047] 10. The drug-loaded system is dried in a vacuum drying oven to obtain a COF-based doxorubicin drug-loaded system.
[0048] Preparation conditions: temperature 25 °C, relative humidity 50%, solvothermal reaction time 72 hours.
[0049] Results: A COF-based doxorubicin drug-loaded system was successfully prepared with high drug loading efficiency and controllable drug release.
[0050] Comparative Example 1
[0051] The difference from Example 1 is that 2.0 g of DMTPA is changed to 1.5 g of DMTPA;
[0052] The preparation process and conditions are the same as those in Example 1.
[0053] Results: Although the drug-loaded system can be successfully prepared, the drug loading efficiency is slightly lower than that in Example 1 due to the change in the COF structure caused by the reduction in the amount of DMTPA used.
[0054] Comparative Example 2
[0055] The difference from Example 1 is that 50 ml of mesitylene is changed to 75 ml and 50 ml of 1,4-dioxane is changed to 25 ml.
[0056] The preparation process and conditions are the same as those in Example 1.
[0057] Results: The preparation process of the drug-loaded system is affected by the solvent ratio, resulting in a decrease in drug loading efficiency and a slight decrease in the dispersibility and stability of the COF nanoparticles.
[0058] Comparative Example 3
[0059] The difference from Example 1 is that the concentration of acetic acid is adjusted to 3M.
[0060] The preparation process and conditions are the same as those in Example 1.
[0061] Result: The synthesis of COF nanoparticles is affected by the concentration of acetic acid, resulting in a decrease in the drug loading efficiency and stability of the drug delivery system, and the COF structure is not complete enough.
[0062] The following Table 1 shows exemplary experimental data:
[0063]
[0064] Remarks:
[0065] Expected drug loading: The expected drug loading amount calculated based on the mass of COF nanoparticles and the preset drug loading percentage.
[0066] Actual drug loading: The actual drug loading amount measured through existing test experiments.
[0067] Drug loading efficiency: The percentage ratio of the actual drug loading amount to the expected drug loading amount, indicating the efficiency of successfully loading the drug into COF nanoparticles.
[0068] Drug release stability: Under simulated physiological conditions, after a certain period of time (such as 24 hours), the stability percentage of the drug released from COF nanoparticles. This is calculated by measuring the ratio of the amount of drug remaining in the nanoparticles after release to the initial loading amount.
