Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical drugs, in particular to a preparation method and application of amorphous zirconium oxide with chemodynamic therapy effect. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of nanobiomedicine, tumor treatment triggered by exogenous stimuli has become a research hotspot. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages of not requiring external energy input and relying on the characteristics of tumor microenvironment (TME) to trigger the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The core mechanism of CDT is to use transition metals to catalyze endogenous molecules such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or glutathione (GSH) in tumor tissues to generate hydroxyl radicals (·OH) through Fenton or Fenton-like reactions, thereby inducing tumor cell oxidative stress damage and apoptosis. However, the currently widely studied CDT nanomaterials, such as iron-based, copper-based, cobalt-based and manganese-based nanocatalysts, still have problems such as insufficient catalytic activity, low biological safety and poor stability, which limit their clinical application.

[0003] Amorphous zirconium oxide (a-ZrO2) is a new inorganic nanomaterial that has broad application prospects in catalysis, biomedicine and functional materials due to its unique structural defects and excellent chemical stability. Compared with crystalline zirconium dioxide, amorphous zirconium oxide has higher specific surface area and abundant surface active sites, which enables it to effectively regulate the redox reaction in the tumor microenvironment. In addition, the low biological toxicity and good biocompatibility of zirconium oxide make it a potential high-efficiency CDT nanocatalyst. Studies have shown that the introduction of oxygen vacancies can further enhance the catalytic activity of amorphous zirconium oxide and promote its ROS generation efficiency in the tumor microenvironment, thereby improving the therapeutic effect of CDT. Therefore, it is of great significance to synthesize amorphous zirconium dioxide (a-ZrO2) and study its application in tumor diagnosis and treatment. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the problems of single action and poor effect of current tumor treatment drugs, the present application aims to synthesize a new tumor treatment drug with chemodynamic therapy effect, high biocompatibility and low biological toxicity.

[0005] The technical solution of the present application is as follows: The preparation method of amorphous zirconium oxide with chemodynamic therapy effect, characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) Dissolve zirconium oxychloride octahydrate in deionized water and stir for 5 min. Add a certain volume ratio of ammonia water and stir for 5 min.

[0006] (2) The solution of the above step is transferred to a high-pressure reaction kettle for hydrothermal reaction, and is reacted at 150 DEG C for 3 h. After the reaction, when the temperature of the reaction kettle is reduced to room temperature, the obtained material is centrifuged, washed with deionized water for three times, and finally placed at 60 DEG C for drying for 12 h to obtain the final material.

[0007] Further, the concentration of the zirconium octahydrate oxychloride in the step (1) is 0.1-0.5 mg / mL.

[0008] Further, the concentration of the ammonia water in the step (1) is 20%-30%.

[0009] Further, the volume ratio of the zirconium octahydrate oxychloride to the ammonia water in the step (1) is 2:1.

[0010] The present application has the following advantages: In view of the problems of single action and poor effect of the current tumor treatment drugs, the present application creatively prepares a novel tumor treatment drug with simple preparation process, good biocompatibility, low biological toxicity, strong stability and excellent treatment effect.

[0019] (2) The solution of the above step is transferred to a high-pressure reaction kettle for hydrothermal reaction, and reacted at 150°C for 3h.
