Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceuticals, relates to drug carriers, and specifically relates to a copolymer with tissue adhesion and ROS-responsive properties, a drug-loaded nanoparticle, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In current nano-delivery systems for treating gastrointestinal oxidative stress-related diseases (such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, and inflammatory bowel disease), existing technologies usually use inert polymers such as PLGA, PEG-PCL, or chitosan as carriers, and achieve the responsive release of drugs in an oxidative environment by introducing ROS-sensitive chemical bonds (such as thioether bonds, selenoether bonds, or phenolic ether structures). To enhance the local retention ability, such carriers are often surface-modified with charged polymers such as chitosan to improve their tissue adhesion. Drug loading is mainly in the form of single drugs, and is often used to deliver anti-inflammatory drugs such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), ibuprofen, and prednisone, or proton pump inhibitors (such as omeprazole), and it is difficult to achieve multi-drug synergistic delivery. Moreover, there are still certain limitations in the persistence of targeted adhesion and the precision of responsive release of such delivery systems. They are prone to desorption under gastrointestinal peristalsis or mucus shear force, and have insufficient targeting and cannot selectively adhere to the diseased site. This will thus affect the actual therapeutic efficacy of the drug. Summary of the Invention

[0141] The method for measuring the molecular weight is as follows: The copolymer sample was prepared into a solution with a concentration of approximately 5 mg / mL using deuterated chloroform as the solvent. A 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer was used for 1 1H NMR measurement. In the obtained 1 1H NMR spectrum, the characteristic peaks of the polymer end groups and the main chain were selected for integration. According to the number of hydrogen atoms in the end groups and the number of hydrogen atoms in the main - chain repeating units, the average number of repeating units (DPn) of the copolymer was calculated. Finally, the number - average molecular weight (Mn) was calculated according to the following formula:
[0142] Mn = DPn×Mrepeat + Mend groups. Where Mrepeat is the molar mass of the repeating unit and Mend groups is the total molar mass of the two end groups.
[0143] DPn=(Imain / Hrepeat) / (Iend / Hend), where Imain, Hrepeat, Iend, and Hend represent the main - chain peak area, the number of main - chain repeating units, the end - group peak area, and the number of hydrogen atoms in the end groups, respectively.

[0170] Example 6 Preparation of Drug - loaded Nanoparticles
[0171] Organic phase: The copolymer, the small - molecule drug with anti - inflammatory and repair functions, and the prodrug were respectively prepared into the copolymer stock solution, small - molecule drug stock solution, and prodrug stock solution with a concentration of 10 mg / ml using DMF. Then, the copolymer stock solution, small - molecule drug stock solution, and prodrug stock solution were mixed together according to the molar ratio of copolymer, small - molecule drug, and prodrug of 1:9:3 as the organic phase.
[0172] Aqueous phase: Sodium acetate buffer (pH = 8.5).
[0173] The organic phase was slowly added dropwise (dropwise addition rate of 0.12 mL / min) at room temperature (15 °C - 37 °C) to 10 times the volume of the aqueous phase. During the dropwise addition process, the system was maintained under gentle stirring (400 rpm) to promote the self - assembly of the three components in the aqueous phase to form drug - loaded nanoparticles. Then, the nanoparticle solution was dialyzed against 1 L of pure water for 2 hours using a dialysis bag with a cut - off molecular weight of 2000 Da for later use.
[0174] The following drug - loaded nanoparticles were prepared according to the above steps: P1 - N - 1, P2 - N - 1, P3 - N - 1, P1 - N - 2, P2 - N - 2, P3 - N - 2, P1 - GSH - 1, P2 - GSH - 1, P3 - GSH - 1, P1 - GSH - 2, P2 - GSH - 2, P3 - GSH - 2; where P1 represents copolymer 1, P2 represents copolymer 2, P3 represents copolymer 3; N represents the small - molecule drug N - acetylcysteine; GSH represents the small - molecule drug glutathione; 1 and 2 respectively represent prodrug 1 and prodrug 2 in sequence; for example, P1 - N - 1 represents the drug - loaded nanoparticles self - assembled from copolymer 1, N - acetylcysteine, and prodrug 1.
[0175] In addition, PLGA 1500 -PEG 1000 -PLGA1500 - is an ABA - type triblock copolymer composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG 1000 ) and poly (lactic - co - glycolic acid) (PLGA 1000 ). PLGA is a copolymer of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and poly (glycolic acid) (PGA), and the molar ratio of lactic acid (LA): glycolic acid (GA) = 75:25. This copolymer has been used as a standard material in many studies to construct drug delivery systems. In this invention, drug - loaded nanoparticles PLGA - PEG - PLGA - N - 1 were prepared as a control material (abbreviated as PEG - PLGA - N - 1) using the same method as in this example with this copolymer as the carrier.
[0176] Measure the particle size and zeta potential of the drug - loaded nanoparticles prepared in this example.
[0177] The particle size and surface potential of the drug - loaded nanoparticles were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Before measurement, the sample was diluted with deionized water to 0.1 mg / mL. Gently shake and mix well to avoid generating bubbles. The particle size measurement was carried out at 25 °C, the detection angle was set to 173° backscattering, and the Z - average particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) were recorded. The surface potential measurement was to measure the electrophoretic mobility at 25 °C and convert it to zeta potential, with the unit of millivolt (mV). Each sample was independently measured three times, and the average value was taken and the standard deviation was calculated.
[0178] The results are as Figures 1 - 3 shown: Most of the drug - loaded nanoparticles of this invention are superior to the control material PEG - PLGA - N - 1 in physicochemical properties, showing smaller particle sizes and more favorable surface charge characteristics. PEG - PLGA - N - 1 is negatively charged, while the drug - loaded nanoparticles of this invention are close to neutral or positively charged. Cell membranes, mucus, and tissue surfaces are generally negatively charged, and positively charged nanoparticles can adhere more strongly to these surfaces through electrostatic attraction. Among them, P1 - N - 1 and P1 - N - 2 show smaller particle sizes and lower polydispersity indices, indicating that their nanoparticle structures are stable and uniform. The excellent particle size and distribution characteristics are expected to significantly improve tissue penetration and drug loading efficiency in vivo. In contrast, PEG - PLGA - N - 1 has a larger particle size and a negative surface potential, which is not conducive to its effective interaction with the negatively charged biofilm surface, limiting its application potential in local retention, tissue adhesion, and targeted release. The drug - loaded nanoparticles containing glutathione have strong positive charges, which are beneficial for cell membrane adsorption, but their potential is too high, which may cause cytotoxicity and biocompatibility problems. Therefore, considering all indicators, the physicochemical properties of P1 - N - 1 are the best.
[0179] Example 7 In vitro release experiment
[0180] The drug-loaded nanoparticles were loaded into a dialysis bag with a cut-off molecular weight of 2000 Da and placed in different drug release media for in vitro release experiments. Three groups were set up in the experiment: the control group used phosphate buffer solution (PBS) with pH 7.4 as the drug release medium; the acidic group used PBS with pH 1.2 as the drug release medium; the oxidative stress group (pH 1.2 + H2O2) used PBS with pH 1.2 added with 100 mM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the drug release medium to simulate the inflammatory environment. The samples of each group were incubated in a constant temperature shaker at 37 °C, and the drug release liquid samples were taken at time points such as 0 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h. The drug concentration was measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to evaluate the drug release behavior under different conditions.
[0181] The results are as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown: For the two drug-loaded nanoparticles P1-N-1 and P2-N-1, in the simulated gastric acid environment (pH 1.2) and the oxidative stress environment (pH 1.2 + H2O2), the release rates and total release amounts of the two drugs (N-acetylcysteine and vorapaxar) were significantly higher than those under neutral conditions (control, pH 7.4). Among them, the pH 1.2 + H2O2 group showed the fastest release rate and the highest cumulative release percentage for both drugs, indicating that the drug-loaded nanosystem of the present invention has good responsiveness to acidic and reactive oxygen species (ROS) environments, indicating its targeted response release ability to the co-existing environment of gastric acid and inflammation, which is beneficial to the precise treatment of inflammation-related gastric diseases.
[0182] Among them, in the P1-N-1 drug-loaded nanoparticles, vorapaxar was rapidly released and tended to reach a plateau in the first 6 hours, while the release of N-acetylcysteine was relatively slow but continuous, showing a certain delivery characteristic of first inhibiting acid and then anti-inflammatory. The drug that inhibits gastric acid secretion was preferentially released, which can rapidly reduce the gastric acidity, provide a favorable microenvironment for the stable release and exertion of subsequent anti-inflammatory drugs, and can improve the synergistic therapeutic effect of the drugs; and the release rate and total release amount of vorapaxar of P1-N-1 were significantly higher than those of P2-N-1. This shows that the P1-N-1 drug-loaded nanoparticles have more advantages than P2-N-1 in terms of drug release control ability.
[0183] Moreover, the drug release performances of the two nanocarriers P1-N-1 and P2-N-1 under acidic conditions (pH 1.2) were significantly better than those of the PEG-PLGA-N-1 group. Especially under oxidative conditions (pH 1.2 + H2O2), the release curves of the two further increased, indicating that the drug-loaded nanoparticles constructed in the present invention have a significant release enhancement effect when dealing with gastric acid and oxidative environments, and their release effect is significantly better than that of the commonly used PLGA-PEG-PLGA standard material.
[0184] Example 8 Adhesion Experiment
[0185] In this example, nanoparticles encapsulated with fluorescent dyes were constructed and an in vitro adhesion experiment was carried out to evaluate the retention ability of the nanoparticles on the gastric mucosa surface.
[0186] First, the target copolymer was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to prepare an organic phase with a concentration of 10 mg / mL. Using 25 mM aqueous sodium acetate solution as the aqueous phase, 50 μL of the organic phase was slowly added dropwise (the dropping rate was 0.12 mL / min) to 500 μL of the aqueous phase at room temperature, and nanoparticle self-assembly was carried out under mild magnetic stirring (400 rpm). Subsequently, 20 μL of 1 mg / mL lipophilic fluorescent probe DIR (1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine iodide) was added to the obtained nanoparticle dispersion, and it was thoroughly mixed to obtain a nanoparticle solution with a fluorescent signal.
[0187] The experiment used freshly dissected gastric tissues of Babl / c mice. After thoroughly washing the surface residues with phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at pH 7.4, they were co-incubated with the above-mentioned nanoparticle solution at 37 °C for 10 minutes. After the incubation, it was thoroughly rinsed with artificial gastric juice (pH 1.2) to remove non-specifically adsorbed nanoparticles, and it was left to stand in a dark environment with 20 μL of artificial gastric juice placed at the bottom to keep it moist, and it was rinsed 5 times with artificial gastric juice before each imaging. Imaging was carried out on a small animal in vivo imaging system at 30 minutes, 6 hours, 18 hours, and 24 hours respectively, and the changes in fluorescent signals were recorded to evaluate the retention degree of the nanoparticles on the gastric tissue surface. The experiment was divided into four groups: the PEG-PLGA-DIR control group and the P1-N-1-DIR experimental group, and the PEG-PLGA-DIR control group and the P2-N-1-DIR experimental group.
[0188] The results are as Figure 6 shown: The fluorescence intensities of P1-N-1-DIR and P2-N-1-DIR were always significantly higher than those of PEG-PLGA-DIR at each time point, and remained at a relatively high level within 6 to 24 hours, showing good tissue enrichment and continuous retention ability. In contrast, the retention performance of P1-N-1-DIR in vivo was more prominent, indicating that it has stronger in vivo stability and therapeutic potential in drug delivery.
[0189] Example 9 In Vivo Therapeutic Effect
[0190] In this example, rabbits were used as experimental animals to establish a visual gastric mucosal ulcer model to test the healing-promoting effect of the drug-loaded nanoparticles of the present invention. Before the experiment, the animals were fasted but allowed to drink water for 24 hours and then anesthetized (intramuscular injection of ketamine-xylazine anesthesia, ketamine concentration 40 mg / kg, xylazine concentration 5 mg / kg) to ensure no pain response during the experiment.
[0191] Under sterile conditions, a wound was created by mechanical traction on the anterior wall of the gastric body using a living forceps through endoscopic operation, resulting in a focal circular ulcer injury with a diameter of about 2-5 mm. Only one ulcer was modeled in each animal. After successful modeling, the animals were randomly divided into:
[0192] Control group: Equal volume of normal saline was administered by gavage daily.
[0193] Drug administration group (P1-N-1 group): The drug-loaded nanoparticles P1-N-1 prepared by the present invention were administered by gavage daily (2 mL, administered through a spraying tube and endoscope).
[0194] Drug administration started from Day 0 (the day when modeling was completed) and was administered on days 1, 3, and 7 respectively. The animals were given liquid food daily and raised in a constant temperature environment. Body temperature, feeding behavior, and general status were closely monitored to ensure a stable anesthesia and recovery process.
[0195] On Day 1, Day 3, and Day 7, after anesthetizing the animals, an animal endoscope was used to observe the ulcer site and calculate its area. The ulcer area at each time point was based on the area on the day of modeling on Day 0 (100%), and the percentage of the remaining area was calculated to reflect the degree of ulcer healing. Finally, a trend graph of the residual rate of ulcer area over time was plotted to evaluate the differences in ulcer repair effects among groups.
[0196] The results are as Figure 7 shown. Since Day 0 after modeling, the ulcer area in the control group remained at a high level, and no obvious remission was observed until Day 3. The ulcer area was observed to decrease until Day 7. In contrast, in the drug administration group, the ulcer area showed a trend of decreasing day by day starting from Day 1, with a significant difference starting from Day 3, and the remaining ulcer area decreased to nearly 5% at Day 7. The results indicate that the drug-loaded nanoparticles prepared by the present invention can significantly accelerate the healing process of gastric ulcers and exhibit a good effect of promoting mucosal repair.
[0197] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
