Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine nanomaterials, and particularly relates to a phosphazene-based amphiphilic conjugate, an anti-inflammatory nanomicelle and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The prevention and treatment of inflammation-related diseases are the research focus in the field of biological medicine. The drug-free macromolecule therapy has become the core research direction in this field due to its unique advantages of being able to regulate inflammatory response and restore the homeostasis of pro-inflammatory microenvironment. Natural polysaccharides and their derivatives have been confirmed to have anti-inflammatory activity in various animal models, but they generally have the problem of low efficacy. The polysaccharide derivatives chemically modified by biological active sites can exert strong anti-inflammatory effect through multiple mechanisms such as scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) nuclear translocation, reducing inflammatory cell recruitment and activation, and blocking NETosis. In addition, synthetic glycoproteins and sugar polymers can inhibit the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by neutrophils and macrophages; dendrimers conjugated with sulfate or phosphorus groups can block leukocyte infiltration as multivalent inhibitors; and rationally designed complement protein C3dg display peptide assemblies can effectively protect mice from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or imiquimod-induced inflammatory injury. Such functional macromolecules provide a new technical path for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
[0003] There are still many key bottlenecks in the prior art. On the one hand, ROS scavenging-related macromolecule therapies (such as polymers containing 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (Tempol), phenylboronic acid pinacol ester, and bilirubin-polymer conjugates) have achieved good efficacy in animal models of acute kidney / liver injury, colitis, atherosclerosis, etc., but the molecular structure is complex, the structure control and customization are difficult, and the large-scale production with low cost and high repeatability has become a core obstacle to clinical translation. On the other hand, luminol and its derivatives are widely used in forensic detection and inflammation imaging due to their chemiluminescence characteristics, and have potential value in treating alopecia areata and promoting wound healing, but their solubility in physiological pH aqueous solution is extremely poor and their biological barrier penetration ability is weak, resulting in low in vivo absorption and bioavailability. Existing luminol conjugated materials (such as cyclodextrin nanoparticles) have the defects of difficult structure regulation and can only be dissolved in specific high-polarity solvents, which cannot meet the needs of the development of conversion-type preparations.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a phosphazene-based amphiphilic conjugate and nanomicelle with anti-inflammatory activity and high bioavailability. SUMMARY
[0005] Based on this, the present application aims to provide a phosphazene-based amphiphilic conjugate, an anti-inflammatory nanomicelle and a preparation method and application thereof.

The mixture was stirred and reacted for 3 h at this temperature. The intermediate 1 (HCCP(Tpl)1) was obtained by silica gel column chromatography. (2) Dissolve HCCP(Tpl)1 (1.8 mmol) in 20 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, add triethylamine (3 mmol), and then add 15 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran solution of methoxy polyethylene glycol amino (1.5 mmol, average molecular weight 2000) dropwise at -0ºC. After reacting for 2 h, separate and purify by silica gel column chromatography to obtain intermediate 2 (PT1).

Additionally, PL4T1 NM aqueous solutions with concentrations of 8 mg / mL, 4 mg / mL, 2 mg / mL, 1 mg / mL, 0.5 mg / mL, and 0.25 mg / mL were prepared using the PL4T1 NM prepared in Example 1. The hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution and the PL4T1 NM solutions of different concentrations were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:1 and incubated in a shaker at 37°C for 2 hours to obtain different mixtures. Each mixture was diluted 100 times with deionized water, and the residual hydrogen peroxide content was determined using a hydrogen peroxide detection kit (Beyotime). The hydrogen peroxide content in the control sample was used as the initial concentration value of hydrogen peroxide. Each sample was measured three times, and the hydrogen peroxide scavenging capacity of each sample at different concentrations was calculated.
[0052] The hydrogen peroxide scavenging curves of different concentrations of PL4T1 NM are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the results indicate that the anti-inflammatory nanomicelles exhibit good hydrogen peroxide scavenging ability, with 1 mg PL4T1 NM scavenging 2.3 μmol of hydrogen peroxide.
[0053] (iv) Evaluation of the superoxide anion scavenging ability of anti-inflammatory nanomicelles (PL4T1 NM) The PL4T1NM prepared in Example 1 was prepared into aqueous solutions of 8 mg / mL, 4 mg / mL, 2 mg / mL, 1 mg / mL, 0.5 mg / mL, 0.25 mg / mL, 0.125 mg / mL and 0.0625 mg / mL, respectively. The superoxide anion scavenging ability was then tested according to the instructions of the superoxide anion inhibition and generation assay kit (Nanjing Jiancheng).
[0054] Superoxide anion scavenging curves of PL4T1NM aqueous solutions at different concentrations are shown below. Figure 9 As shown, the results indicate that the anti-inflammatory nanomicelles exhibit a certain superoxide anion scavenging ability, with 1 mg PL4T1NM scavenging 0.23 U of superoxide anions.
