Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical drug technology, specifically relating to a combination of intracellular calcium chelating agent and tanshinone B suitable for the treatment of ischemic stroke, a targeted drug delivery system, and its preparation and application. Background Technology
[0002] Stroke (commonly known as apoplexy) is a sudden cerebrovascular event caused by the blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain, with high morbidity, disability, and mortality rates. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is the only drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of stroke, but its therapeutic window is limited to only 3–4.5 hours. Although rt-PA is effective in thrombolysis, it also carries a significant risk of hemorrhagic reperfusion injury, mainly caused by excessive oxidative stress and a significant inflammatory response, which can worsen brain damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop neuroprotective agents that can restore neurological function and improve long-term survival after stroke.
[0003] Neuronal damage following stroke involves a multi-faceted pathological cascade. The release of excitatory amino acids triggers a surge in calcium... 2+ The influx of calcium leads to calcium overload, which in turn activates the inflammatory cascade and apoptosis signaling. 2+ The imbalance further induces mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to lipid peroxidation, protein denaturation, enzyme inactivation, and mitochondrial membrane damage, ultimately resulting in apoptosis. Simultaneously, ischemia-reperfusion injury activates microglia, triggering a cytokine storm that impairs the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) through chemokine-mediated recruitment of immune cells. Subsequently, the infiltration of peripheral inflammatory cells exacerbates cerebral edema and acute neuroinflammation. Therefore, strategies to alleviate calcium overload are a potential intervention for ischemic stroke and require further research to identify more effective preventative and therapeutic drugs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a combination of intracellular calcium chelating agent and tanshinone B, a pharmaceutical composition thereof, a targeted drug delivery system thereof, and its preparation and application.
[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides the use of a combination of an intracellular calcium chelator and tanshinone B in the preparation of a medicament for the prevention and / or treatment of ischemic stroke.
[0007] Preferably, in the applications provided by the present invention, the intracellular calcium chelating agent belongs to the category of cell membrane permeable prodrugs.

[0009] Preferably, in the application provided by the present invention, the intracellular calcium chelating agent can permeate the cell membrane and exert its calcium ion chelating effect only in the cytoplasm.
[0010] Preferably, in the application provided by the present invention, the intracellular calcium chelating agent is selected from BAPTA derivatives. These BAPTA derivatives are BAPTAs with certain modified groups, which enable them to penetrate the cell membrane and enter the cell. After entering the cell, intracellular esterases hydrolyze the modified groups, releasing the active form of BAPTA, which exerts its calcium ion chelating effect only in the cytoplasm. More preferably, the BAPTA derivative is selected from BAPTA-AM, which is an acetoxymethyl ester-modified BAPTA.
[0011] BAPTA-AM is an acetoxymethyl ester derivative of BAPTA (abbreviated as BA, CAS No.: 139890-68-9), and is a safe Ca2+ derivative. 2+ Selective chelating agent. BAPTA-AM does not bind with calcium in the blood. 2+ After binding and entering the cell, it will be hydrolyzed by esterases into active calcium. 2+ Chelating agent BA, and rapidly reacts with Ca 2+ Combined, reducing intracellular calcium 2+ level.
[0012] Salvianolic acid B (SAB, CAS No.: 115939-25-8), also known as Tanshinone B, is a water-soluble phenolic acid extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Danshen. Salvianolic acid B possesses neuroprotective effects through multiple mechanisms, including Nrf2 / HO-1-mediated upregulation of antioxidant enzymes, PI3K / Akt-dependent inhibition of neuroinflammation (reducing IL-6, IL-18, and TNF-α), Bcl-2 / Bax-regulated inhibition of apoptosis, and enhanced microcirculation. Those skilled in the art will understand that the application of salvianolic acid B in this context is not limited to the compound salvianolic acid B, but also includes its salt form.
[0013] Furthermore, in the application provided by the present invention, the intracellular calcium chelating agent is used to alleviate calcium overload.
[0014] Furthermore, in the applications provided by this invention, the tanshinone B is used to reduce oxidative damage and alleviate neuroinflammation.
[0015] The experiments of this invention demonstrate that the combined use of SAB and BAPTA-AM produces a synergistic effect, significantly improving the therapeutic efficacy against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Given the significant synergistic effect, the inventors further investigated its underlying mechanism, discovering that SAB and BAPTA-AM can significantly inhibit ferroptosis by suppressing the activation of the NRF2 / GPX4 signaling pathway; they can also significantly restore neuronal signal transduction and reduce cell apoptosis. In ischemic stroke, neuronal apoptosis is a key feature of the pathological process of neuronal death, and inhibiting neuronal apoptosis can alleviate ischemic brain damage. Therefore, when SAB and BAPTA-AM are used in combination, BAPTA-AM can rapidly chelate intracellular calcium... 2+ To alleviate calcium overload, SAB can synergistically inhibit oxidative stress by activating the NRF2 / HO-1 pathway and inhibit apoptosis by regulating Bax / Bcl-2 expression; simultaneously, it can significantly restore neuronal signaling and reduce apoptosis. These results highlight that the pharmaceutical composition provided by this invention, by disrupting the calcium-ROS feedback loop through a multi-target approach, can be used to prepare drugs for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by calcium overload and / or excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and treatment of stroke.

[0082] To prepare a biomimetic nanomedicine delivery system encapsulating macrophage membranes, Ma@BA@SAB nanoparticles (abbreviated as Ma@BA@SAB NPs) were prepared by combining BA@SAB nanoparticles obtained in preparation step (1) with M2 macrophage membrane vesicles and co-extruding them 15 times through 800nm, 400nm and 200nm polycarbonate porous membranes.
[0083] The size and zeta potential of the nanoparticles prepared in steps (1) and (2) were measured using DLS (Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS, Malvern, UK), and their morphology was observed using TEM (JEM-2100, Japan). Figure 1 As shown in Figure B, BA@SAB represents the BA@SAB nanoparticles prepared in step (1), and Ma@BA@SAB represents the Ma@BA@SAB nanoparticles prepared in step (2). The results show that after membrane coating and SAB conjugation, the Zeta potential changed from -11.68±1.54 mV for BA@SAB to -15.59±1.85 mV for Ma@BA@SAB, indicating successful surface modification and confirming the formation of a core-shell nanostructure. Furthermore, TEM results also indicate successful coating of the M2 macrophage membrane, as a distinct outer shell can be seen on the surface of the BA@SAB core in the magnified image. (See Figure B for details.) Figure 1B.
[0084] Due to the acidic conditions and excessive ROS in the brain injury area's microenvironment, we investigated drug release under different pH conditions in the presence of excess ROS. We found that under normal physiological conditions (phosphate-buffered saline [PBS], pH 7.4), BAPTA release was minimal. However, in the presence of 1 mM H₂O₂, BAPTA release significantly increased, with approximately 75% released within 100 hours. Figure 1 E). This indicates that BAPTA in Ma@BA@SAB can be effectively released in the stroke microenvironment, thus providing a potential treatment for ischemic stroke. Furthermore, we utilized ABTS+ (a widely used free radical probe) to evaluate the overall antioxidant capacity of Ma@BA@SAB NPs. Specifically, the ROS scavenging activity assay was performed, and the ROS scavenging ability of Ma@BA@SAB NPs was assessed using an ABTS assay kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. All assay kits were purchased from Beyotime Biotechnology. ABTS+, in its oxidized cation form, is blue and its color lightens as absorption in ultraviolet (UV) light near 738 nm decreases in the presence of antioxidants. Our results indicate that the ROS scavenging ability of Ma@BA@SAB NPs gradually increases with increasing Ma@BA@SAB NPs concentration. Figure 1 D).
[0085] Following the preparation method of Formula 1, ROS-responsive biomimetic nanomedicine delivery systems co-loaded with intracellular calcium chelate and tanshinone B in other formulas listed in Table 1 were prepared. The structure and performance of each formula's drug delivery system were tested using the same method. Formula 2 showed a lower drug loading efficiency than Formula 1, and Formulas 3-5 showed less uniform average nanoparticle size compared to Formula 1. Comparative Example 1 contained only free drug calcium chelate, used alone to alleviate calcium overload; the free molecules could not be used for nanoparticle data testing. Comparative Example 2 contained only free tanshinone B, used alone to alleviate oxidative damage and neuroinflammation; the free molecules could not be used for nanoparticle data testing. Therefore, the test data for the optimal formulation, Formula 1, are listed. The structural and performance test results of the drug delivery system obtained from Formula 1 are shown in Table 2.

[0088] Example 3: Evaluation of the efficacy of a ROS-responsive biomimetic nanomedicine delivery system co-loaded with intracellular calcium chelators and tanshinone B in eliminating intracellular calcium overload and alleviating oxidative stress.
[0089] Calcium balance plays a crucial role in maintaining cell function and survival, and intracellular calcium overload is closely related to cell necrosis. To evaluate the effectiveness of the drug delivery system of this invention in eliminating intracellular calcium overload and alleviating oxidative stress, this embodiment of the study was conducted. The main experimental methods involved in this embodiment are as follows. To evaluate the Ca... 2+ Chelation was performed on cells treated with different enzymes, followed by trypsin digestion and centrifugation. Cells were then stained with Fluo-4 AM solution (2 μmol-L⁻¹). Intracellular calcium was analyzed and quantified using flow cytometry. 2+ The data were then analyzed using FlowJo software. Quantitative analysis showed that, compared with the model group, intracellular calcium concentration decreased by 7-fold after Ma@BA@SAB NPs treatment, recovering to levels close to the control group. Figure 2 (AB) This indicates that Ma@BA@SAB NPs possess a strong calcium scavenging capacity, which is key to their protective effect on injured brain cells. Furthermore, compared to the model group, SAB treatment alone reduced intracellular calcium by 33.3%. We hypothesize that SAB has antioxidant properties, thereby reducing ROS production, disrupting the self-amplifying feedback loop of calcium overload and oxidative stress, and ultimately lowering intracellular calcium levels.
[0090] The interaction between oxidative stress and calcium overload forms a self-amplifying cycle that exacerbates brain cell damage by triggering a strong inflammatory response. Effective scavenging of excess ROS in injured brain cells helps restore cellular redox balance. To further investigate the antioxidant potential of Ma@BA@SAB, we evaluated their efficacy in an H2O2-induced cell damage model. PC-12 cells were cultured at 1 × 10-1 per well. 5 Cells were seeded at a density of [number] cells / well in six-well plates and cultured for 24 hours. Cells were then treated with H2O2 (200 μmol / L) at 37°C for 24 hours, followed by culturing in free DMEM medium (model group), DMEM medium containing BAPTA (20 mg / mL) (free drug BA group), SAB (free drug SAB group), and the drug delivery system NPs (20 mg / mL) of this invention for 24 hours, respectively. The negative control group (Control group) cells received no treatment. Cells were then labeled with a hypoxia probe (DCFH-DA) at 37°C for 30 minutes. Fluorescence intensity was then measured using a CytoFlex S system (Beckman, CytoFlexS, USA), and cell imaging was performed using a confocal laser scanning microscope (TE2000U, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Results showed that, compared with other drugs, the fluorescence intensity of ROS in PC-12 cells treated with Ma@BA@SAB was significantly lower than that in the model group, free drug BA group, and free drug SAB group. Figure 2C). This indicates that Ma@BA@SAB NPs are more efficient at scavenging ROS. Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis further confirmed the significant ROS scavenging ability of Ma@BA@SAB NPs, validating their potential to protect cells from oxidative damage. Figure 2 DE).
[0091] Example 4: Therapeutic effect of a ROS-responsive biomimetic nanomedicine delivery system co-loaded with intracellular calcium chelators and tanshinone B in a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MACO) mouse model.
[0092] To evaluate the therapeutic effect of the drug delivery system of the present invention in a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MACO) model rats, this embodiment of the study was conducted. The main experimental methods involved in this embodiment are as follows: (1) Construction of rat thromboembolic stroke model: A rat middle cerebral artery occlusion / reperfusion (MCAO / R) model was established using the suture-occlusion method. Male SD rats were anesthetized with isoflurane using a pneumatic anesthesia system (MSS). The common carotid artery, external carotid artery (ECA), and internal carotid artery (ICA) were carefully dissected. Nylon sutures were then inserted between the ECA and ICA to restrict blood flow in the middle cerebral artery. MACO rats were randomly divided into four experimental groups, with 3 rats in each group. They were given PBS (Model group), SAB (20 mg / mL) (free drug SAB group), BAPTA (2 mg / mL) (free drug BA group), and the drug delivery system of the present invention (20 mg / mL) (Ma@BA@SAB group), respectively. The sham-operated group served as the control group, except that no nylon fishing line was inserted. The other steps were the same as the surgical group (3 rats in this group). The cerebral infarction area and neurological scores of each group were assessed 7 days after the stroke. (2) In vivo brain targeting: Cy5.5-labeled BA@SAB NPs and Cy5.5-labeled drug delivery system of the present invention Ma@BA@SAB NPs were intravenously injected into rats receiving MCAO / R treatment to assess their targeting and distribution in the ischemic brain. 24 hours after treatment, the rats were euthanized and their major organs were harvested and imaged using a small animal fluorescence imaging system. (3) Tissue staining: Immediately after collection, the brain tissue was frozen at -20℃ for 10 minutes and then stained with TTC. Brain tissue sections (2 mm thick) were extracted and stained accordingly. The formula for calculating the infarct volume was: Infarct volume (%) = [(Volume of the contralateral hemisphere - Volume of the ipsilateral non-infarcted hemisphere) / Volume of the contralateral hemisphere] × 100%. Subsequently, the brain tissue was cut into 4 μm thick sections, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and subjected to immunofluorescence to assess cerebral infarction using immunohistochemistry.
[0093] First, we investigated the therapeutic potential of Ma@BA@SAB NPs in ischemic stroke using a rat model of MCAO to replicate ischemia-reperfusion injury. Furthermore, we aimed to evaluate the ability of the formulation to cross the brain barrier (BBB) and precisely target the affected area in vivo. MACO rats were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (n=3 per group), receiving SAB (20 mg / mL) + BAPTA (2 mg / mL) (BA@SAB group) and the drug delivery system of this invention (20 mg / mL) (Ma@BA@SAB group). Fluorescence in brain tissue peaked 3 hours post-injection, primarily concentrated at the right hemisphere injury site. Although some BA nanoparticles reached the brain 3 hours post-injection, they were largely metabolized by 6 hours, resulting in a shorter retention time in brain tissue compared to BA@SAB NPs. This indicates that Ma@BA@SAB NPs can cross the BBB, accumulate in the brain injury area, and prolong their retention time in brain tissue. Figure 3 (AB). Next, we investigated the in vivo protective effect of NPs against ischemic stroke, and the experiment was conducted according to... Figure 3 The procedure was as shown in C. After 7 days of continuous administration, neurological function scores and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining were performed to assess the cerebral infarction status of brain tissue in each group. Normal brain tissue stained red, while infarcted tissue remained unstained and appeared white. Figure 3 E). In the MCAO group, the infarct volume of rats increased by 31.65%, and the infarct volume decreased to varying degrees after different drug treatments. The infarct volume of rats in the SAB treatment group decreased to 27.11%, while that in the BAPTA treatment group decreased significantly to 23.7%. More encouragingly, the infarct volume of rats in the Ma@BA@SAB NPs treatment group decreased significantly to 10.5% ( Figure 3 DF).
[0094] Example 5: Biocompatibility of a ROS-responsive biomimetic nanomedicine delivery system co-loaded with intracellular calcium chelators and tanshinone B
[0095] Following the experiment in Example 4, rats were euthanized 24 hours after treatment, and their major organs were harvested and imaged using a small animal fluorescence imaging system. Histological examination of the major organs (heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys) showed no tissue toxicity or observable changes in the Ma@BA@SAB treatment group compared to the control group, demonstrating the good biocompatibility of these NPs. Figure 4 ).
[0096] Example 6: A ROS-responsive biomimetic nanomedicine delivery system co-loaded with intracellular calcium chelators and tanshinone B can inhibit ferroptosis and apoptosis.
[0097] Given the significant impact of the calcium overload / ROS feedback loop on the drug delivery system of this invention, it is necessary to elucidate its underlying mechanisms. Following ischemic stroke, ROS-induced ferritin deposition and apoptosis further exacerbate cellular damage. In this process, we further investigated the protective effect of the drug delivery system of this invention against ferroptosis and apoptosis. We further evaluated the molecular mechanism by which the drug delivery system of this invention affects iron mutations mediated by the nuclear factor erythrocyte-associated factor 2 (NRF2) / glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) signaling pathway. The main experimental methods involved in this embodiment are as follows: MACO rats were randomly divided into four experimental groups, with three rats in each group. They were administered PBS (Model group), SAB (20 mg / mL) (SAB group), BAPTA (2 mg / mL) (BA group), and the drug delivery system of this invention (20 mg / mL) (Ma@BA@SAB group), respectively. The sham-operated group served as the control group (Control group), except that no nylon fishing line was inserted; the remaining procedures were the same as the surgical group (three rats in this group).
[0098] Immunofluorescence staining and quantitative analysis revealed significantly higher expression levels of GPX4 and NRF2 in the Model group compared to the Control group, indicating activation of iron oxidation. However, in the SAB-treated groups, the expression levels of GPX4 and NRF2 were lower than in the Control group, suggesting a certain inhibitory effect. Further analysis showed that the expression levels of GPX4 and NRF2 in the BAPTA and Ma@BA@SAB NPs-treated groups were significantly lower than in the SAB group, with the lowest expression levels observed in the Ma@BA@SAB NPs group. Figure 5 This indicates that Ma@BA@SAB nanoparticles can effectively inhibit the activation of the NRF2 / GPX4 signaling pathway. These results suggest that Ma@BA@SAB nanoparticles can significantly inhibit ferroptosis by suppressing the activation of the NRF2 / GPX4 signaling pathway. Neuronal apoptosis is a key feature in the pathological process of neuronal death, and inhibiting neuronal apoptosis can alleviate ischemic brain damage. To assess neuronal apoptosis after MCAO in rats, we stained with NeuN / TUNEL and quantified the results using ImageJ software. Compared with the Control group, the number of TUNEL-positive cells in the Model group was significantly increased, indicating severe neuronal apoptosis and loss of neuronal signaling. Treatment with Ma@BA@SAB NPs significantly restored neuronal signaling and reduced cell apoptosis. Notably, Ma@BA@SAB NPs had the most significant inhibitory effect on cell apoptosis, leading to a significant reduction in the number of TUNEL-positive cells ( Figure 5 EF).
[0099] In summary, this invention successfully developed macrophage-masked, ROS-responsive liposomes, co-loaded with BAPTA-AM and SAB nanoparticles. This nanoparticle system constitutes a biomimetic nanodrug delivery system, addressing the intertwined pathological cascade of calcium overload and oxidative stress in ischemic stroke. The biomimetic design utilizes a macrophage membrane coating to achieve targeted delivery across the brain border (BBB) and precise accumulation in ischemic brain regions. ROS-triggered drug release allows for spatiotemporal control, and BAPTA-AM can rapidly chelate intracellular calcium... 2+ To alleviate calcium overload, SAB can synergistically inhibit oxidative stress by activating the NRF2 / HO-1 pathway and inhibit apoptosis by regulating the expression of Bax / Bcl-2.
[0100] In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that the biomimetic nanomedicine delivery system provided by this invention exhibits excellent biocompatibility, efficient ROS scavenging ability, and strong neuroprotective capacity. In a rat model of MCAO, the biomimetic nanomedicine delivery system of this invention significantly reduced cerebral infarction volume (10.5% compared to 31.65% in the untreated control group), restored neurological function, and inhibited ferroptosis and apoptosis by downregulating RF2 / GPX4 signaling and reducing the number of TUNEL-positive cells. These results highlight the therapeutic potential of intracellular calcium chelators and tanshinone B to disrupt the calcium-ROS feedback loop through a multi-target approach. It can be used to prepare drugs for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by calcium overload and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and treatment of stroke.
