Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to an oral drug nanocarrier, in particular to an oral drug nanocarrier capable of realizing lymphatic transport, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical targeting carriers. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a drug delivery carrier, oral nanoparticles can effectively overcome the multiple physiological barriers of the gastrointestinal tract by protecting drugs from gastrointestinal degradation, enhancing mucosal adhesion, and promoting transmembrane transport, thereby improving the oral absorption of drugs.
[0003] However, after traditional oral administration, the drug is easily affected by the liver first-pass effect after entering the blood through intestinal capillaries, resulting in a significant decrease in the efficiency of pulmonary targeted delivery. Studies have shown that the lymphatic transport pathway can effectively avoid the liver first-pass metabolism of drugs; and drugs absorbed through the lymphatic system can enter the systemic circulation through the subclavian vein and preferentially distribute to the lung tissue after the lymph fluid merges into the blood circulation. Therefore, promoting the transport of drug-loaded oral nanoparticles through the intestinal lymphatic system is of great significance to improve the delivery efficiency of drugs to the lungs.
[0004] After oral administration, oral nanoparticles can be endocytosed by intestinal epithelial cells, then transported intracellularly or degraded and excreted from the cell, and then enter the intestinal capillaries or capillary lymphatic vessels. Among them, the drugs absorbed through the intestinal capillaries will directly face the liver first-pass metabolism, limiting their effective distribution in the lungs; and nanoparticles transported through the lymphatic system can avoid the first-pass effect, thereby enriching in the lungs. At present, the strategies to promote the lymphatic transport of drugs through the intestinal tract mainly include: constructing lipid prodrugs, using lipid-based carriers (such as emulsions, micelles), and designing nanoparticles targeting M cells, etc.
[0005] However, the existing technology still has the following shortcomings: (1) lipid prodrugs need to be chemically modified, which may introduce safety risks; (2) lipid-based carriers are easily affected by gastrointestinal lipid-digesting enzymes, resulting in unstable structure; (3) the effective action of the M cell targeting strategy is limited by the number of M cells in the intestinal tract. Therefore, the development of an oral nanodelivery system that does not require complex chemical modification, is safe and structurally stable, and has delivery efficiency that is not limited by the number of specific cells in the intestinal tract, and can realize lymphatic transport, will be of great significance to solve the problem of low pulmonary enrichment of poorly soluble oral drugs.

[0154] Example 9: Investigating the lymphatic transport effect of the oral drug nanocarrier described in this invention using the chylomicron blockade model
[0155] Because the operation steps of the chylomicron blockade model are simple and the success rate is high, it has been used by medical workers as a research model for the lymphatic transport effect of drugs. The construction of the chylomicron blockade model is achieved by intragastric administration of a certain amount of cycloheximide to rats to inhibit the secretion of chylomicrons in rats, thereby ultimately blocking the entry of drugs into the lymphatic system.
[0156] SD rats (200±20 g), female rats, SPF grade, were purchased from Shanghai Bikai Keyi Biotechnology Co., Ltd., with the production license number SCXK (Shanghai) 2023-0009; The animals were raised under standard conditions in the Experimental Animal Center of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
[0157] Ten female SD rats were randomly divided into two groups: one group without the blocker and the other group with the blocker. The rats were fasted for 12 hours before administration. One hour before administration, the rats in the blocker group were injected intraperitoneally with cycloheximide (3 mg / kg) to block lymphatic transport, while the rats in the non-blocker group were given an equal volume of physiological saline. One hour later, both groups of rats were administered the drug-loaded nanoparticle dispersion containing silymarin prepared in Example 8 by gavage. The dosage was 30 mg / kg based on SLB.
[0158] Blood was collected from the retro-orbital venous plexus of rats at predetermined time points after drug administration. Whole blood was collected in centrifuge tubes containing heparin sodium and centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 8 min. The supernatant plasma was collected and stored at -80℃.
[0159] The SLB content in plasma samples was determined by HPLC. The specific determination method is as follows:
[0160] 1. Establishment of the standard curve
[0161] Take 100 μL of SLB reference solution, blow dry with N2, add 100 μL of rat blank plasma, vortex mix for 3 min to obtain standard plasma samples with concentrations of 0.01, 0.025, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00 and 5.00 μg / mL;
[0162] Take 100 μL of a standard plasma sample of a certain concentration, add 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH=5.0) and 2500 U / mL β-glucuronidase working solution, mix well and incubate at 37 °C with shaking for 18 h; add 1.0 M sodium carbonate solution and 0.1 M borate buffer (pH=8.0), vortex to mix; then add methyl tert-butyl ether for extraction: vortex for 5 min, then centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 10 min, collect the upper extract (organic phase), repeat the operation 3 times, combine the 3 extracts, and dry with N2; add 100 μL of chromatographic methanol to reconstitute, vortex for 3 min, then centrifuge at 4 °C and 12000 rpm for 10 min, take the upper liquid, and analyze by HPLC (specific analysis conditions are the same as described in Example 8), record the peak area, and calculate the SLB content;
[0163] A standard curve was obtained by linear regression of the SLB peak area A against the plasma SLB concentration C. See details below. Figure 5 As shown; by Figure 5 As shown, the standard curve for SLB in the range of 0.025–5.00 μg / mL is A = 28.335C - 1.0135 (R = 0.9993), indicating a good linear relationship.
[0164] 2. Take 100 μL of the collected plasma sample, add 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH=5.0) and 2500 U / mL β-glucuronidase working solution, mix well and incubate at 37 °C with shaking for 18 h; add 1.0 M sodium carbonate solution and 0.1 M borate buffer (pH=8.0), vortex to mix; then add methyl tert-butyl ether for extraction: vortex for 5 min, then centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 10 min, collect the upper extract (organic phase), repeat the operation 3 times, combine the 3 extracts, and blow dry with N2; add 100 μL of chromatographic methanol to reconstitute, vortex for 3 min, then centrifuge at 4 °C and 12000 rpm for 10 min, take the upper liquid, and detect by HPLC (specific analysis conditions are the same as described in Example 8), record the peak area, and then calculate the SLB content in the collected plasma according to the established standard curve.
[0165] Statistical analysis of the data was performed using Graphpad Prism 8.0.1 software, and pharmacokinetic curves were plotted (see details). Figure 6 As shown in the figure, t-tests or one-way ANOVA were used, and the results are expressed as Mean ± SD. P < 0.05 indicates that the results are statistically significant.
[0166] Depend on Figure 6 As shown, at the same time point, the blood drug concentration in the group containing the blocker was significantly lower than that in the group without the blocker. This indicates that under the action of the chylomicron blocker, the promoting effect of the drug-loaded nanoparticles prepared in this invention on chylomicron secretion is inhibited, which will affect the absorption of the drug in vivo. This demonstrates that the drug-loaded nanoparticles prepared in this invention can improve the absorption of the drug (SLB) by promoting the secretion of chylomicrons and their transport via the lymphatic system.
[0167] The drug concentration data in rat plasma were processed using WinNonLin 6.1 software to obtain the corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters, as shown in Table 7.
[0168] Table 7. Pharmacokinetic parameters of rat plasma SLB (Mean ± SD, n=5)
[0169]
[0170] Note: * indicates P < 0.05 compared to the group containing the blocking agent; ** indicates P < 0.01 compared to the group containing the blocking agent.
[0171] As shown in Table 7, C in the group without the blocking agent max The concentration was 1.76 mg / L, which is 5.03 times that of the group containing the blocker, and the oral relative bioavailability AUC of the group without the blocker was also higher. (0-t)The efficacy was 173.33% higher than that of the group containing the blocker; this further demonstrates that the drug-loaded nanoparticles prepared in this invention can improve the oral bioavailability of the drug by promoting the secretion of chylomicrons and mediating lymphatic transport.
[0172] Example 10: Investigating the effect of the oral drug nanocarrier described in this invention on oral bioavailability
[0173] Preparation of drug suspension: Weigh 15 mg of silybin, add 45 mL of 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution, and stir at 300 r / min for 2 h at 25 °C to obtain silybin suspension.
[0174] Ten female SD rats were randomly divided into two groups: a drug suspension group and a drug-loaded nanoparticle dispersion group. The rats were fasted for 12 hours before administration. The drug suspension group was administered the prepared silymarin suspension by gavage, and the drug-loaded nanoparticle dispersion group was administered the drug-loaded nanoparticle dispersion containing silymarin prepared in Example 8 by gavage. The dosage was 30 mg / kg (calculated as SLB) for both groups.
[0175] Blood was collected from the retro-orbital venous plexus of rats at predetermined time points after drug administration. Whole blood was collected in centrifuge tubes containing heparin sodium and centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 8 min. The supernatant plasma was collected and stored at -80℃.
[0176] The SLB content in plasma was determined by HPLC according to the method described in Example 9.
[0177] Statistical analysis of the data was performed using Graphpad Prism 8.0.1 software, and pharmacokinetic curves were plotted (see details). Figure 7 As shown in the figure, t-tests or one-way ANOVA were used, and the results are expressed as Mean ± SD. P < 0.05 indicates that the results are statistically significant.
[0178] Depend on Figure 7 As shown, compared with the drug suspension group, the drug-loaded nanoparticle dispersion group had higher blood drug concentrations at all time points, and the drug (SLB) reached its maximum blood drug concentration at 0.5 h.
[0179] The drug concentration data in rat plasma were further processed using WinNonLin 6.1 software to obtain the corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters, as shown in Table 8.
[0180] Table 8. Pharmacokinetic parameters of rat plasma SLB (Mean ± SD, n=5)
[0181]
[0182] Note: * indicates P < 0.05 compared to the drug suspension group; ** indicates P < 0.01 compared to the drug suspension group; **** indicates P < 0.0001 compared to the drug suspension group.
[0183] As shown in Table 8, the T values of the drug-loaded nanoparticle dispersion group are as follows: max The concentration of C in the drug-loaded nanoparticle dispersion group was significantly lower than that in the drug suspension group, indicating that the drug-loaded nanoparticle dispersion prepared in this invention can improve the absorption of the drug (SLB) in vivo and shorten the time to peak concentration; in addition, the C concentration of the drug-loaded nanoparticle dispersion group was significantly lower than that in the drug suspension group. max It is 13.54 times that of the drug suspension group, and the oral relative bioavailability (AUC) of the drug-loaded nanoparticle dispersion group is also higher. (0-t) The bioavailability was increased by 256.52% compared to the drug suspension group; this result indicates that the oral drug nanocarrier described in this invention can significantly improve the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs (such as SLB).
[0184] Example 11: Investigating the enrichment effect of the oral drug nanocarrier of the present invention on the lungs.
[0185] 1,1-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3,3-Tetramethylindocyanine iodide (DiR) dye is a lipophilic NIR fluorescent anthocyanin dye with excitation and emission wavelengths of 748 nm / 780 nm. It is environmentally sensitive, and its fluorescence intensity is significantly enhanced when it binds to lipophilic biomolecules. The NIR properties of DiR enable it to be used for in vivo imaging. The infrared light emitted by DiR can penetrate cells and tissues efficiently, and the autofluorescence level of the organism itself is very low in the near-infrared region, thus it can be used to trace the distribution of nanoparticles in vivo.
[0186] The nanoparticles prepared in this invention are now labeled with the fluorescent probe DiR. The preparation of the DiR-loaded nanoparticle dispersion is as follows:
[0187] a) Weigh 30 mg of polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA, 50:50, Mw 50kD, purchased from Dalian Meilun Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) and 1.5 mg of DiR (purchased from Dalian Meilun Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), dissolve them in acetone, and prepare 5 mL of oil phase with a PLGA concentration of 6 mg / mL and a DiR concentration of 0.3 mg / mL;
[0188] b) Weigh 24 mg of Platycodon grandiflorum fatty acid (prepared from Example 1), dissolve it in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a Platycodon grandiflorum fatty acid ethanol solution with a concentration of 50 mg / mL.
[0189] c) Weigh 3 mg of 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-polyethylene glycol (DSPE-PEG 2000, purchased from Shanghai Avert Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.) and 3 mg of soybean lecithin (Lipoid S100 produced by Lipoid GmbH in Germany, with the mass fraction of phosphatidylcholine greater than 94%), dissolve them in absolute ethanol, and prepare an ethanol solution of DSPE-PEG2000 and soybean lecithin with a concentration of 100 mg / mL for both DSPE-PEG2000 and soybean lecithin;
[0190] d) Combine the platycodon fatty acid ethanol solution obtained in step b) and the ethanol solution of DSPE-PEG2000 and soybean lecithin obtained in step c), add them to deionized water preheated to 65 °C, stir at 200 r / min for 30 min, and prepare 10 mL of the aqueous phase;
[0191] e) Drop the oil phase into the aqueous phase, stir at 200 r / min at 25 °C for 2 h to obtain a dispersion;
[0192] f) Remove the organic solvent from the dispersion by rotary evaporation at 40 °C, and the obtained nanoparticle dispersion is the nanoparticle dispersion loaded with DiR.
[0193] Ten female BALB / c mice (20 ± 2 g, SPF grade, purchased from Shanghai SLAC Laboratory Animal Co., Ltd., production license number: SCXK (Shanghai) 2022-0004) were randomly divided into two groups, one group was the control group, and the other group was the fluorescently labeled nanoparticle group; they were fasted for 12 h before the experiment and had free access to water.
[0194] Each mouse in the control group was intragastrically administered 200 μL of normal saline, and each mouse in the fluorescently labeled nanoparticle group was intragastrically administered 200 μL of the nanoparticle dispersion loaded with DiR (the final concentration of DiR was 100 μg / mL).
[0195] The mice were sacrificed 1 h after administration, the liver and lung organs were dissected and separated, the tissues were minced (about 1 - 10 mm 3 ), and images were taken using a small animal in vivo imaging system in the Cy5.5 channel to observe the fluorescence distribution and perform semi-quantitative analysis. The detailed results are shown in Figure 8 as follows: A is the fluorescence distribution of liver tissue; B is the fluorescence distribution of lung tissue; C is the ratio of fluorescence intensities (lung fluorescence intensity / liver fluorescence intensity); * indicates P < 0.05 compared with the control group; *** indicates P < 0.001 compared with the control group; **** indicates P < 0.0001 compared with the control group.
[0196] From Figure 8As shown, the fluorescence distribution of the oral drug nanocarrier described in this invention in the liver is significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05, see Figure A), and the fluorescence distribution in the lung tissue is much higher than that in the control group (P<0.0001, see Figure B). Furthermore, the ratio of lung fluorescence intensity to liver fluorescence intensity is also significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.001, see Figure C). This reveals that the oral drug nanocarrier described in this invention enhances the distribution in lung tissue, and therefore has important value in solving the problem of poor enrichment in the lungs after oral administration.
[0197] The experimental results above show that the oral drug nanocarrier described in this invention can significantly promote the secretion of chylomicrons, not only achieving lymphatic transport but also significantly improving oral bioavailability and lung enrichment. This is of great significance and application value in solving the problem of low lung enrichment of poorly soluble oral drugs, and can be used as a carrier for poorly soluble oral drugs, especially for treating lung diseases. In addition, the oral drug nanocarrier described in this invention also has the advantages of good biosafety, high stability, readily available raw materials, and simple preparation method.

Any non-essential improvements and adjustments made by those skilled in the art based on the above content of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
