Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical materials technology, specifically relating to a radioactive embolization microsphere with high elasticity and high drug loading rate and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is currently the preferred treatment for unresectable liver cancer. This treatment allows highly vascularized liver tumors to rapidly shrink and die due to lack of blood supply, while simultaneously delivering chemotherapy drugs locally for precise treatment, avoiding the unnecessary harm caused by systemic medication. TACE treatment requires continuous evaluation of subsequent treatment plans based on the patient's surgical progress; typically, one cycle of treatment is insufficient to achieve optimal results. Therefore, patients need to return to the hospital for follow-up after a period of treatment. Follow-up usually includes CT or MRI of the liver, primarily assessing tumor development and the embolization of blood vessels by the microspheres. Currently, most polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) embolization microspheres used clinically lack X-ray imaging properties, making them difficult to observe under imaging equipment. This makes clinical assessment of the microspheres' embolization of blood vessels very challenging. To address this issue, some medical device companies have combined the main components of contrast agents with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) embolizing microspheres, giving the microspheres X-ray imaging properties. This allows the microspheres within the patient's body to be clearly observed under contrast-enhancing equipment, significantly reducing the difficulty in assessing tumor progression and microsphere embolism. This lays the groundwork for providing patients with more precise treatment plans in the future.
[0003] Currently, most radiopaque embolization microspheres are made by post-modifying polyvinyl alcohol embolization microspheres with iodine-containing compounds (usually triiodobenzaldehyde) to give them radiopaque properties. This approach affects several key properties of the microspheres, such as: 1. Triiodobenzaldehyde is a hydrophobic compound that needs to be grafted onto the embolization microspheres via a reaction with hydroxyl groups. Its continuous consumption of the polymer backbone leads to a decrease in the hydrophilicity of the microspheres, resulting in poorer compression resilience; 2. The modification of the embolization microspheres with triiodobenzaldehyde creates steric hindrances within the polymer network structure, especially on the microsphere surface. This reduces the adsorption efficiency of chemotherapy drugs, thus prolonging the preparation time before clinical surgery. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this invention proposes an embolic microsphere with high elasticity and high drug loading rate and its preparation method, aiming to achieve the imaging of microspheres while maintaining their high resilience and high drug loading rate.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the microspheres with polyhydroxy polymers as the main chain are polyvinyl alcohol microspheres.
[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the method for preparing the developing molecule containing unsaturated bonds is selected from any one of the following a to c:

[0017] b. The iodine-containing compound is halogenated with a chlorinating agent to generate an iodine-containing chloride, which is then reacted with a modifier containing double bonds and sulfonic acid groups under the action of an alkaline catalyst to obtain a developing molecule containing unsaturated bonds and sulfonic acid groups.
[0018] c. An iodine-containing compound undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction with an organic sulfonyl chloride to generate an iodine-containing sulfonate derivative, which then undergoes a further nucleophilic substitution reaction with an amino-containing nucleophilic reagent to generate an amino-containing iodide. This is further reacted with a modifier containing double bonds and hydroxyl groups to obtain a developing molecule containing unsaturated bonds and hydroxyl groups.
[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, the iodine-containing compound is selected from any one of triiodobenzyl alcohol, triiodophenol, and triiodobenzaldehyde.
[0020] As a further improvement of the present invention, the preparation process of the developing molecule containing unsaturated bonds satisfies at least one of the following conditions (1) to (6):
[0021] (1) The double-bonded organic modifier is selected from either 4-vinylbenzyl chloride or 4-vinylbenzyl bromide;
[0022] (2) The chlorination reagent is selected from either hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid;
[0023] (3) The modifier with double bonds and sulfonic acid groups is sodium 3-allyloxy-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonate;
[0024] (4) The organic sulfonyl chloride is selected from any one of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, benzenesulfonyl chloride, 4-propylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, 4-ethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, 3,5-dimethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, 2,5-dimethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, 3,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, 4-cyclohexylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, 2,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, 4-tert-butylbenzenesulfonyl chloride, and 2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzenesulfonyl chloride;
[0025] (5) The modifier with double bonds and hydroxyl groups is selected from any one of glycidyl methacrylate, oxetane methacrylate, tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate, and allyl glycidyl ether;

[0028] This invention further protects the application of a contrast-enhancing embolization microsphere in the preparation of a combined radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and embolization therapy drug for tumors and a contrast-enhancing diagnostic reagent, wherein the contrast-enhancing embolization microsphere is the contrast-enhancing embolization microsphere as described above; or, the contrast-enhancing embolization microsphere is the contrast-enhancing embolization microsphere prepared by the preparation method described above.
[0029] This invention provides a radioactive embolization microsphere with high elasticity and high drug loading rate, and a method for preparing the same, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] The radiopaque microspheres prepared by the method of this invention have radiopaque molecules attached to their surface in the form of polymer chain segments, thus forming core-shell structured microspheres. When radiopaque molecules are introduced into the embolization microspheres, the original hydrophilic functional groups in the microspheres are not consumed, nor is the chemical structure of the polymer cross-linking network of the microspheres altered, thereby maintaining the original physical properties of the embolization microspheres. This achieves radiopaque functionality without affecting the original performance of the microspheres. It effectively improves the compressibility, suspension, and catheter permeability of the radiopaque microspheres.
[0031] To change the current situation where imaging molecules are enriched inside imaging microspheres, causing significant steric hindrance, imaging molecules are dispersed as polymer chain segments on the surface of the polymer cross-linked network structure framework of the embolizing microspheres. This increases the space of the polymer cross-linked network structure of the microspheres themselves, effectively improving the drug loading efficiency of the imaging microspheres.

[0114] Embolization microspheres of B1~B15 and Comparative Examples 1~5 were subjected to the following tests:
[0115] The microspheres were transferred to a petri dish equipped with a micrometer. Ten microspheres were randomly selected under a microscope, and the microspheres were compressed using the end of tweezers. After the microsphere particles were compressed and deformed to 30% of their original size, the load was removed, and the rebound of the microsphere particles was observed. The compression rebound data are shown in Table 2.
[0116] Suspension comparison
[0117] Embolization microspheres of B1~B15 and Comparative Examples 1~5 were subjected to the following tests:
[0118] Draw all the microspheres and preservation solution from the vial using a 20mL syringe. Remove the preservation solution and add an appropriate amount of contrast agent to mix (at a microsphere to contrast agent volume ratio of 1:5, for example: 1mL microspheres to 5mL contrast agent, 2mL microspheres to 10mL contrast agent) to obtain a suspension. Use a three-way valve to inject the suspension from the 20mL syringe into a 1mL syringe. Repeat this injection and injection process 10 times to ensure thorough mixing. Then, remove the 1mL syringe from the three-way valve, keep it vertical, and start timing. The time taken to reach suspension is T1, and the time taken to end suspension is T2. The criterion for ending suspension is that 2 / 3 of the syringe volume contains microspheres. The time to maintain suspension is (T2-T1). The suspension time data are shown in Table 2.
[0119] Catheter passability
[0120] Embolization microspheres of B1~B15 and Comparative Examples 1~5 were subjected to the following tests:
[0121] Draw 10 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection solution into a syringe, connect the corresponding tubing to the syringe, and slowly inject the 0.9% sodium chloride injection solution into the tubing for rinsing. After rinsing, remove the syringe. Draw all the polyvinyl alcohol embolized microspheres and preservation solution from the vial into a 20 mL syringe, then expel the air and supernatant from the syringe, leaving only the microspheres. Draw an appropriate amount of contrast agent into another syringe (at a microsphere to contrast agent volume ratio of 1:5). Connect the syringes containing the microspheres and contrast agent separately using a three-way valve, and repeatedly inject the microspheres and contrast agent from the two syringes to mix them until a homogeneous suspension is obtained. Inject all of the suspension into the 20 mL syringe and remove the syringe containing the contrast agent. Connect a 1 mL syringe and a corresponding tubing to the three-way valve, adjust the three-way valve knob to connect the 20 mL and 1 mL syringes separately, and inject the microsphere and contrast agent suspension into the 1 mL syringe. Visually inspect the microspheres in the 1 mL syringe to ensure they are in suspension. Readjust the three-way valve knob, connect the 1mL syringe and the catheter separately, and push the 1mL syringe to push the microspheres out of the catheter at a rate of 1mL / min. During the injection, maintain the microspheres in suspension until all the microsphere solution has been injected. Observe the state of the microspheres passing through the catheter. The catheter permeability data are shown in Table 2.

[0124] As shown in Table 2, the radiopaque embolization microspheres B1-B15 prepared in Examples 1-15 exhibit high elasticity and suspension time, comparable to those of the commercially available non-radioplastic embolization microspheres in Comparative Example 3. While possessing good suspension properties, they can be delivered into catheters without breakage, meeting the needs of complex interventional situations such as catheter bending. However, the radiopaque embolization microspheres prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, as well as the commercially available radiopaque embolization microspheres in Comparative Examples 4 and 5, have excessively low elasticity and short suspension times, which are unfavorable for practical applications. Therefore, the radiopaque embolization microspheres B1-B15 prepared in Examples 1-15 achieve radiopaque functionality without affecting the original performance of the microspheres.
[0125] Test Example 3: Comparison of drug loading rates of B1~B15 with Comparative Examples 1~5;
[0126] Take three groups of embolic microspheres (B1~B15 and Comparative Examples 1~5), and randomly select one group for the following test:
[0127] Using a 1.0 mL syringe with a needle, take a sample, invert the syringe, and allow it to settle. After the microspheres settle, drain the supernatant and the microspheres until 0.10 mL of microspheres remain in the syringe. Prepare a 20 mg / mL doxorubicin solution in advance. Use a 20 μL pipette to transfer 6 μL of the doxorubicin solution to a cuvette, add 3000 μL of purified water, and mix well. Place the cuvette in the sample cell of a UV spectrophotometer, measure the absorbance of the doxorubicin solution, and record the value. Take another 1.0 mL syringe, draw 0.20 mL of the doxorubicin solution, and add it to the syringe containing the microspheres. Invert the syringe to mix well. Sample and test at the following time points and record the data (1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min, 5 min, 6 min, 7 min, 8 min, 9 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min).
[0128] Two other groups of embolic microspheres, B1-B15 and Comparative Examples 1-5, were taken and subjected to the same drug loading test as described above, using the same amount of idarubicin solution and epirubicin solution instead of doxorubicin solution, respectively. The drug loading rate data are shown in Table 3 after processing.
[0129] Table 3 shows the drug loading rates of the three drugs in Examples B1-B15 and Comparative Examples 1-5.

[0131] As shown in Table 3, the radioactive embolization microspheres B1-B15 prepared in Examples 1-15 exhibit high loading efficiency, surpassing not only the radioactive embolization microspheres prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and the commercially available radioactive embolization microspheres in Comparative Examples 4 and 5, but also the loading efficiency of the commercially available non-radioactive embolization microspheres in Comparative Example 3. This is because the radioactive molecules in the radioactive embolization microspheres prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and the commercially available products in Comparative Examples 4 and 5, are enriched within the microspheres, resulting in significant steric hindrance and thus low loading efficiency. The radioactive embolization microspheres B1-B15 prepared in Examples 1-15 disperse radioactive molecules as polymer chain segments on the surface of the polymer cross-linked network structure framework of the embolization microspheres, increasing the space of the polymer cross-linked network structure of the microspheres themselves and effectively improving the drug loading efficiency of the radioactive microspheres. Test Example 3 demonstrates that the radioactive embolization microspheres B1-B15 prepared in Examples 1-15 achieve both increased drug loading rate and radioactive function.
