[0044] The present application provides an anti-tumor composition (DCF), comprising a first component and a second component; the first component comprises 2-hydroxycinnamic acid; the second component comprises ferulic acid and / or cinnamic acid; the molar ratio of the first component and the second component is (1-2):(1-3).

[0045] In the present application, the chemical structural formula of ferulic acid is shown as formula I:

[0046]

[0047] In the present application, the chemical structural formula of 2-hydroxycinnamic acid is shown as formula II:

[0048]

[0049] In the present application, the chemical structural formula of cinnamic acid is shown as formula III:

[0050]

[0051] In the present invention, at the molecular level, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid, ferulic acid, and cinnamic acid are all phenolic acid compounds with similar core structures, but their different substituents give them complementary target affinities. Ferulic acid contains methoxy and hydroxyl substitutions, enhancing its binding to PCNA; 2-hydroxycinnamic acid, with a hydroxyl group at the 2-position, can bind simultaneously to both EGFR and PCNA. Cinnamic acid has the simplest structure and primarily binds to EGFR. This structural complementarity enables 2-hydroxycinnamic acid, ferulic acid, and cinnamic acid to cover different binding sites, enhancing their overall efficacy. Secondly, at the target level, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid, ferulic acid, and cinnamic acid form a synergistic "division of labor and cooperation" model: 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and cinnamic acid primarily target EGFR, while 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and ferulic acid primarily target PCNA. In particular, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid simultaneously participates in the action of both targets, acting as a "bridge." This target complementarity enables the anti-tumor composition to effectively inhibit both key targets. Furthermore, at the pathway level, DCF simultaneously targets both the apoptosis pathway (EGFR-Bcl2 / Bax) and the cell cycle pathway (PCNA-CDK2), creating a "two-pronged" synergistic effect. These two pathways are independent yet mutually reinforcing. Even if tumor cells develop resistance to one mechanism, the other remains effective, significantly reducing the risk of resistance.

[0052] Phosphorylation of the EGFRY845 site is associated with disease progression and poor prognosis in various tumors such as gastric cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer, and is also an indicator of drug resistance. In the present invention, the anti-tumor composition can inhibit EGFRY845 phosphorylation and trigger tumor cell apoptosis. Specifically, in terms of EGFR targeting, unlike traditional EGFR inhibitors, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and cinnamic acid can directly bind to the pocket where the Y845 site of EGFR is located, rather than the ATP binding site or tyrosine kinase domain, by forming hydrophobic interactions with Leu694, Val702, Leu694 and Leu768, stably binding to the pocket near Y845, preventing Src kinase-mediated phosphorylation of the Y845 site. This unique binding mode enables the anti-tumor composition to specifically inhibit EGFRY845 phosphorylation without affecting the total expression of EGFR and phosphorylation of other sites, thereby effectively reducing the level of EGFRY845 phosphorylation, avoiding some adverse reactions of traditional EGFR inhibitors, and at the same time potentially overcoming the drug resistance of some EGFR targeted drugs (EGFR targeted therapy, hormone therapy and chemotherapy). Inhibition of Y845 phosphorylation is the key mechanism by which anti-tumor compositions induce tumor cell apoptosis.

[0053] PCNA is a marker for proliferating cells, and its high expression is closely associated with the excessive proliferation of tumor cells. In the present invention, the anti-tumor composition can interfere with the PCNA-CDK2 interaction, causing S-phase arrest. Specifically, in terms of PCNA targeting, the anti-tumor composition can directly bind to the PCNA protein, and its binding site significantly overlaps with the PCNA-CDK2 interaction interface. 2-Hydroxycinnamic acid forms a hydrogen bond with PCNA's Arg149 through its carboxyl group, while ferulic acid forms a stable bond by forming hydrophobic interactions with Met40 and Val45, effectively weakening PCNA-CDK2 binding. The Arg149 residue is a key site for 2-Hydroxycinnamic acid and ferulic acid to exert their effects. The anti-tumor composition can bind to a specific site on PCNA, interfering with the PCNA-CDK2 interaction. This interference differs from traditional PCNA inhibitors (such as PCNA-I1), which primarily bind to the PCNA trimer interface. The unique mode of action of the anti-tumor composition of the present invention specifically blocks CDK2-dependent S-phase progression, leading to S-phase arrest and significant accumulation of tumor cells in the S-phase without affecting other PCNA functions, thereby effectively inhibiting tumor cell DNA synthesis. The anti-tumor composition of the present invention effectively reduces the binding of PCNA to CDK2 without affecting the interaction between PCNA and p21.

[0054] As an embodiment, the purity of the ferulic acid, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and cinnamic acid is respectively ≥98%.

[0055] In the present invention, ferulic acid, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and cinnamic acid are widely present in a variety of foods and medicinal plants and have good safety.

[0056] As an embodiment, the anti-tumor composition includes the following components: ferulic acid, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and cinnamic acid.

[0057] In the present invention, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and cinnamic acid can target EGFR, while 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and ferulic acid can target PCNA, forming complementary interactions at the target sites. Furthermore, at the EGFR binding site, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and cinnamic acid enhance binding stability through hydrophobic interactions; at the PCNA binding site, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and ferulic acid achieve a synergistic effect through π-π stacking interactions. Furthermore, as another embodiment, the anti-tumor composition comprises the following components: ferulic acid, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid, and cinnamic acid.

[0058] In the present application, the anti-tumor composition can both inhibit EGFR Y845 phosphorylation to induce tumor cell apoptosis and interfere with PCNA-CDK2 interaction to cause S phase arrest. This dual molecular mechanism produces a series of cascade reactions: EGFR Y845 phosphorylation inhibition leads to down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation of Bax, triggering mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis; PCNA-CDK2 interaction interference leads to S phase arrest, blocking DNA replication and proliferation of tumor cells. The two mechanisms synergize with each other, and ferulic acid, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and cinnamic acid simultaneously inhibit the EGFR-mediated Bcl-2 / Bax apoptosis pathway and the PCNA-CDK2-mediated S phase arrest pathway, thereby achieving efficient inhibition of EGFR Y845 phosphorylation and PCNA high-expression tumors and exerting synergistic anti-tumor effects.

[0059] In the present application, ferulic acid, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid and cinnamic acid can exert synergistic anti-tumor effects, with a CI value less than 0.8.

[0073] From the perspective of physicochemical properties, the liposome delivery system of the present invention is spherical, with a smooth surface, a particle size of 80 to 120 nm, and an average particle size of 102.60 ± 1.55 nm, which is within the ideal nano-delivery range (50 to 200 nm). This particle size is small enough to avoid rapid clearance by the reticuloendothelial system, but large enough to passively target and enrich at the tumor site through the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR). The liposome delivery system of the present invention is stored at 4°C and 25°C for 30 days, and the particle size changes by less than 5%, and the drug content decreases by less than 10%.

[0078] The present invention also provides the use of the antitumor composition or the antitumor drug delivery system described in the above scheme in the preparation of antitumor drugs.

[0079] As an embodiment, the anti-tumor composition or the anti-tumor drug delivery system is the only active ingredient of the anti-tumor drug.

[0104] Evaluation of the in vitro antitumor activity of DCF in Example 1

[0105] 1. Cell survival and proliferation inhibition

[0106] CCK-8 pharmacodynamics validation (including gastric cancer cells and other tumor cells)

[0107] Here are the steps:

[0108] (a) 96-well plate plating: Human gastric cancer cell lines HGC-27 and AGS, colon cancer cell line HT-29, and lung cancer cell line A549 were trypsinized and resuspended from the cell culture dish. 10 μL of the cell suspension (1:1 dilution) was counted using a cell counting plate and seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 5000 cells / well. The plates were then placed in a cell culture incubator and allowed to adhere.

[0109] (b) Drug Addition: The next day, after the cells have adhered to the wall, replace each well with 200 μL of fresh serum-free medium. Adjust the final drug concentrations to 0, 0.1875, 0.375, 0.75, 1.5, 3, and 5 mM. Set up three replicate wells for each concentration group, and include a blank well (without cells) for background subtraction and zeroing. Incubate the cells in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24 h.

[0110] (c) Detection of cell activity: Dilute the CCK-8 reagent with fresh serum-free medium at a volume ratio of 10:1 to prepare a working solution. After 24 hours of drug intervention, remove the supernatant from each well, add 100 μL of CCK-8 working solution to each well, and continue to incubate in a 37°C cell culture incubator for 1.5 hours before taking out. Set the wavelength parameter of the microplate reader to 450 nm, read the absorbance (OD) value, and use GraphPad Prism v6.0 software to draw a graph and calculate the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) corresponding to 24 hours. 50 ).

[0111] CCK8 experiment evaluated the cytotoxicity of DCF on gastric cancer cells (HGC27 and AGS) ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 ), lung cancer cells (A549) and colon cancer cells (HT-29) ( Figure 4 ). The results showed that DCF exhibited dose-dependent growth inhibition on the four cell lines, and the three drugs showed good synergistic effect on human gastric cancer cells HGC27 and AGS cells in the concentration range of 0.1875-1.5 mM; when the concentration reached 5 mM, the synergistic effect of the three drugs was not good; and human colon cancer cells HT-29 and human lung cancer cell line A549 (both EGFRY845 and PCNA expression high level) in the concentration range of 0.1875-1.5 mM, the three drugs showed good synergistic effect, and showed stronger inhibition effect on EGFRY845 phosphorylation and PCNA high expression cell lines, thus showing that the drug combination has good specific therapeutic effect on EGFRY845 and PCNA high expression tumor ( Figure 5 ). In HGC27 and AGS cells, the 24h IC 50 values of DCF were 0.680±0.052 mM and 0.744±0.024 mM, respectively ( Figure 3 ). In addition, human gastric cancer cells HGC27 in the concentration range of 0.1875-1.5 mM, the three drugs showed good synergistic effect; while the effect of two drug combination (ferulic acid+cinnamic acid) was not as good as that of three drug combination, indicating that the effect of DCF three drug combination group was better than that of each single drug group and double drug group ( Figure 6 ).

[0112] 2. Molecular docking verification

[0113] The protein target and small molecule are docked by using Autodock software, and at least 50 docking results will be generated, so as to select the best phase of docking energy for structure extraction for subsequent molecular dynamics simulation research. Autodock is an open source small molecule simulation software, which is mainly used to perform molecular docking between ligand and protein. The basic process of docking is as follows: ① a larger box is formed around the amino acid residues of the receptor active site, and then different types of atoms are used as probes for scanning, so as to calculate the grid energy. This part of the task is completed by AutoGrid program; ② AutoDock program performs conformation search of ligand in Box range, and finally the ligand is scored according to different conformation, direction, position and energy, and the results are optimized and sorted.

[0114] Through molecular docking analysis, the results showed that the three kinds of compound components involved in DCF could bind to EGFR and PCNA protein targets to different degrees (​​​​​ Figure 7 and Figure 8 ).

[0116] Western blotting method for detecting expression levels of related proteins in gastric cancer cells

[0117] Blank control group and related drug concentration treatment group were set for two kinds of gastric cancer cells respectively, and then the cells were treated for 24 h. Then the total protein of the cells after drug treatment was extracted and labeled by BCA protein concentration, and the absolute protein content of each well was ensured to be consistent. After electrophoresis, the gel segment containing the target protein was cut according to the pre-stained protein marker. Then constant voltage was applied for membrane transfer, and after washing and blocking the membrane, the corresponding protein one-antibody was added, and incubated overnight at 4°C. The next day, the second antibody was incubated after washing the membrane, and then the ECL chemiluminescence method was used for detection. The total protein of the cells was detected by mouse anti-β-actin monoclonal antibody as an internal control.

[0118] The effects of DCF treatment on the expression and phosphorylation of key proteins were analyzed by Western blot. The results showed that DCF treatment significantly reduced the phosphorylation level of EGFR Y845, but did not affect the phosphorylation of EGFR total protein and other sites (Y1068, Y1173), confirming the specific inhibitory effect of DCF on Y845 site Figure 9 ).

[0119] Co-immunoprecipitation experiment confirmed that DCF treatment significantly weakened the interaction between PCNA and CDK2, but did not affect the binding of PCNA to other proteins (such as p21), confirming the mechanism of DCF specific interference with PCNA-CDK2 interaction Figure 10 ).

[0120] Example 2

[0121] 1. Preparation of DCF liposome delivery system

[0122] Lecithin, cholesterol and DCF prepared in Example 1 (based on the total mass of 2-hydroxycinnamic acid, cinnamic acid and ferulic acid) were dissolved in chloroform at a mass ratio of 5:1:1, evaporated to form a thin film on a rotary evaporator, and then hydrated with PBS after nitrogen blowing. After ultrasonic treatment, the DCF liposome delivery system was obtained by filtering through a 0.22 μm filter membrane.

[0123] 2. Physicochemical characterization of DCF liposome delivery system

[0124] The DCF liposome delivery system was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) Figure 11 ) TEM observation showed that the DCF liposome delivery system was spherical and smooth. DLS measurement showed that the average particle size of the DCF liposome delivery system was 102.60 ± 1.55 nm, which belonged to the ideal nano delivery range (50-200 nm), and this particle size was small enough to avoid being quickly removed by the reticuloendothelial system and large enough to be passively targeted and enriched at the tumor site by the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR). The polydispersity index (PDI) was 0.185 ± 0.004 Figure 12 ).

[0125] 3. Stability evaluation of the DCF liposome delivery system

[0126] The particle size change of the DCF liposome delivery system was less than 5% and the drug content decreased by less than 10% after storage at 4°C and 25°C for 30 days, indicating good stability. The DCF liposome delivery system also showed good stability in different pH (5.0-8.0) and serum environments.

[0127] 4. Pharmacokinetic parameters

[0128] Liposome encapsulation prolonged the half-life of each component of DCF by 1.5-2 times, prolonged the mean residence time by 1.8-2.3 times, and increased the AUC by 1.5-2 times. The improvement of these parameters directly reflects the significant improvement of the bioavailability of DCF liposome delivery system.

[0129] Test Example 2

[0130] Evaluation of the anti-tumor activity of the DCF liposome delivery system of Example 2 in vivo

[0131] 4-week-old male NCG mice were purchased from Beijing Aidmo Biotechnology Co., Ltd. All 24 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, 6 mice in each group. When they reached 5 weeks of age, the patient tumor mass was subcutaneously inoculated into the right hip region of the 24 mice using a trocar. After a period of time when the tumor was visible to the naked eye (1 cm), the mice in the cocktail and cocktail liposomal groups were treated with intraperitoneal injection of drugs, and the drugs were administered once a day during the experiment; at the same time, the positive drug control group involved oxaliplatin (L-OHP, 4 mg / kg body weight) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU, 20 mg / kg body weight) were administered to the mice intraperitoneally, and the drugs were administered once every three days during the experiment. On the 14th day, all the mice were sacrificed at the end of the experiment, and the tumor specimens were photographed and the tumor tissue specimens were fixed and subsequently embedded, sectioned and stained. No mouse died unexpectedly during the entire experiment.

[0132] Immunohistochemical experimental method

[0133] Place the cut paraffin sections in an oven at 60-65°C until the water evaporates and the paraffin melts completely. Soak the paraffin sections in xylene solution for 15 minutes, remove them, and repeat the above steps after replacing the xylene solution to dissolve the excess paraffin. After rehydration with graded alcohol, hematoxylin staining, and dehydration, the sections are stained in eosin reagent for 1 minute and then dehydrated again. Finally, use a pipette to draw an appropriate amount of neutral gum droplet on the tissue, cover it with a coverslip, and gently tap with tweezers to remove any bubbles. Once the gum has dried, the sections can be observed immediately or stored long-term.

[0134] 1. In vivo antitumor activity

[0135] The antitumor activity of DCF was evaluated in a gastric cancer PDX mouse model based on EGFRY845 phosphorylation and high PCNA expression. When tumor volume reached approximately 100 mm3, mice were randomly divided into six groups (n=8): a control group, a low-dose free DCF group (10 mg / kg), a high-dose free DCF group (20 mg / kg), a low-dose DCF liposome delivery system group (10 mg / kg), a high-dose DCF liposome delivery system group (20 mg / kg), and a positive control group (oxaliplatin, 5 mg / kg). Dosing was performed three times weekly for three consecutive weeks.

[0136] The results showed that the high-dose group of the DCF liposome delivery system showed the strongest anti-tumor effect, with a tumor inhibition rate of 75.3±5.1%, which was significantly higher than the high-dose group of free DCF (52.8±4.7%) and the positive control group (61.5±5.4%). The anti-tumor effect of the low-dose group of the DCF liposome delivery system (49.6±4.2%) was comparable to that of the high-dose group of free DCF, indicating that liposome delivery can significantly enhance the in vivo anti-tumor effect of DCF. More importantly, the effect of the low-dose group of the DCF liposome delivery system (10 mg / kg) was comparable to that of the high-dose group of free DCF (20 mg / kg), indicating that liposome delivery can maintain a higher therapeutic effect while reducing the dose, which is beneficial to reduce potential toxic side effects ( Figure 13 ).

[0137] 2. In vivo mechanism verification

[0138] Immunohistochemical analysis showed that treatment with the DCF liposome delivery system significantly reduced the expression of Ki-67, phosphorylated EGFRY845, and PCNA in tumor tissues, confirming that the mechanism of action of DCF in vivo was consistent with the results of in vitro studies ( Figure 14 ).
