Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of phototherapy and acoustic therapy drug technology, specifically relating to a cobalt-iridium metal complex, nanoparticles, preparation method, and application in multifunctional combined thrombolysis using photothermal, photodynamic, and acoustic therapies. Background Technology
[0002] Phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), is a new type of non-invasive, real-time controllable light stimulation with broad application prospects in disease treatment. As a non-invasive technique, low-intensity ultrasound is widely used in clinical diagnosis because it can penetrate the human body to a greater depth than light. Recently, ultrasonic dynamic therapy (SDT) has been explored as a promising alternative to thrombolytic therapy. Compared with traditional drug and surgical methods, phototherapy and sound therapy have inherent advantages such as being non-invasive, having low toxicity, being simple to operate, and having rapid recovery, and have attracted much attention in the medical field.
[0003] Surgical removal of the embolus or thrombolysis are the main clinical treatments for ischemic stroke. However, current thrombolytic drugs often exhibit only limited therapeutic effects due to their low selectivity, short half-life, and significant bleeding risk. In recent years, the non-invasive application of photosensitizers in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has attracted widespread attention, especially in thrombolysis, and has the potential to become a next-generation treatment method.
[0004] While photothermal torsion (PTT) has shown potential in thrombolytic therapy, its non-specific thermal damage to nearby tissues is a limiting factor. Furthermore, high cost, insufficient photothermal effect, low biodegradability, and potential toxicity also restrict its clinical translation in thrombolytic therapy. PDT, due to its rapid onset of action, mild adverse reactions, and ability to be used in combination with other therapies, has been used in thrombolytic therapeutic research. However, the clinical application of PDT is also limited by its oxygen dependence, insufficient ROS generation efficiency of the photosensitizer, and, like PDT, the limited penetration depth due to insufficient light source wavelength.
[0005] As research progresses, the integration of PTT and PDT into a single system for synergistic treatment demonstrates promising application prospects for high efficiency and safety. The addition of sonic therapy can effectively compensate for the insufficient penetration depth of phototherapy, thereby enhancing the thrombolytic effect.
[0006] Transition metal materials are highly favored due to their rich excited-state properties, such as high luminescence quantum efficiency, ultra-long luminescence lifetime, high stable luminescence, and multicolor luminescence. Compared with other transition metal complexes, cyclic iridium complexes have long triplet excitation lifetimes, large Stokes shifts, and outstanding photothermal generation capabilities, making them the most widely used class of transition metal complex materials. In 2020, Professor Gou Shaohua's team at Southeast University, for the first time, rationally designed a metal iridium complex with donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) based on a simple framework structure, achieving a highly efficient antithrombotic therapeutic effect by utilizing the synergistic effect of photodynamics and photothermality. However, the synthesis of this photosensitizer is relatively complex, limiting its widespread application. (AnIridium (III) Complex Bearing a Donor–Acceptor–Donor Type Ligand for NIR‐Triggered Dual Phototherapy[J].Advanced Functional Materials, 2020.) In 2021, the inventors rationally designed mononuclear and tetranuclear metal iridium complexes based on the porphyrin framework structure and achieved excellent photothermal properties. However, the fluorescence photosensitizers would affect the imaging effect due to their own background (Zhang Liping. Design, synthesis and optical therapy application of deep red / near-infrared photosensitizers based on metal iridium complexes and small organic molecules [D]. Northeast Normal University, 2021.).
[0007] Currently, there are still limited metal complexes suitable for integrated thrombosis therapy, and there are few reports on drug design targeting the thrombotic microenvironment. Providing more metal complexes that can be used in integrated therapy is of great significance for clinical selection of thrombosis treatment. Summary of the Invention

Then, the prepared metal complex 2Ir (0.1 mmol, 0.18 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. After dialysis, 2Ir nanoparticles (NPs) were obtained. The structural formula of 2Ir is as follows:
[0043] 2. Physical properties of Co2Ir NPs Figure 1 The mass spectrometry data for Co2Ir is shown, which matches the theoretical values to demonstrate the structure. Figure 2 The figure shows the particle size of Co2Ir NPs (measured by a particle size potential analyzer; the figure shows the particle size of 2Ir NPs and Co2Ir NPs, respectively, and the potential). As can be seen from the figure, the particle size of Co2Ir NPs in aqueous solution is 105.33 nm, and the particle size increases to 878.84 nm under ROS response, which means that ROS can effectively release drugs.
[0044] 3. Photophysical properties of Co2Ir NPs The UV absorbance of Co2Ir NPs in aqueous solution was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and the results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown. Among them. Figure 3 The image shows the UV absorption spectrum. In the UV absorption, the two original Q bands of the porphyrin disappear because the Co metal enters the porphyrin nucleus.
[0045] Figure 4 For the present invention 2Ir ( Figure 4 (a)) and Co2Ir ( Figure 4 (c) Both exhibited weak emission in pure acetonitrile solution. With increasing water content, 2Ir ( Figure 4 (b) and Co2Ir ( Figure 4 The luminescence intensity of (d) was enhanced, demonstrating that it possesses typical characteristics of AIE. This will facilitate the formation of aggregated nanoparticles for subsequent diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
[0046] Figure 5 For the Co2Ir NPs prepared in this invention, in vitro singlet oxygen production experiments and related kinetic curves were measured using a UV spectrophotometer under illumination and DPBF conditions (in the figure, B is the logarithmic curve of A; the larger the slope, the more singlet oxygen is produced). Figure 5 (a) is a line graph showing the decrease in DPBF of NPs at a specific nanometer. Figure 5 (b) is the first-order kinetic curve corresponding to 5 (a). The degradation of DPBF under ultrasound proves that Co2Ir NPs have good singlet oxygen generation ability.
[0047] Figure 6 For the Co2Ir NPs prepared in this invention, in vitro singlet oxygen production experiments and related kinetic curves were measured using a UV spectrophotometer under illumination and DPBF conditions (in the figure, B is the logarithmic curve of A; the larger the slope, the more singlet oxygen is produced). Figure 6 (a) is a line graph showing the decrease in DPBF of NPs at a specific nanometer. Figure 6 (b) is the first-order kinetic curve corresponding to (a). The degradation of DPBF under light proves that Co2Ir NPs have a good ability to generate singlet oxygen.

Figure 7 (a) is a graph showing the temperature variation of different NPs. Figure 7 (b) shows the temperature variation at different concentrations of NPs, where Figure 7 (c) shows the temperature variation of NPs with different power levels. Figure 7 (d) is a diagram of five heating and cooling cycles of Co2Ir NP. Figure 7 Figure (a) shows that the drug group (2Ir NPs, Co2Ir NPs) had better photothermal generation capacity compared to the control group H2O; Figure 7 Figure (b) shows that the higher the concentration of Co2Ir NPs, the higher the temperature under the same light exposure time, indicating that it is concentration-dependent. Figure 7 Figure (c) shows that Co2Ir NPs exhibit power dependence, with higher power resulting in higher heat generation and temperature rise. Figure 7 Figure (d) shows the temperature changes of Co2IrNPs after five heating and cooling cycles, demonstrating that the drug has good photothermal cycling ability.

See also Figure 8 (b) The dotted-line plots of chemiluminescence intensity at different nanometers show that the bioluminescence emission peak can reach as long as 660 nm. See also Figure 8 (c), ONOO - The luminescence decay of Co2Ir NPs can reach 60 minutes. See also: Figure 8 (d) By covering the drug with chicken breast of varying thicknesses, its chemiluminescence can penetrate to a depth of up to 10 mm. This high penetration depth is beneficial for imaging testing of the drug at deep inflammatory sites. This has significant advantages over photosensitizers that depend on short-wavelength excitation light.

See also... Figure 11 ,in Figure 11 (a) is a DPPH degradation diagram. Figure 11 (b) This is a graph showing the degradation of hydrogen peroxide, detected using a kit. It can be seen that when the Co2Ir NPs concentration reaches 300 μg / mL, the DPPH consumption rate reaches approximately 68%. See also... Figure 11 Co-incubation with hydrogen peroxide revealed a consumption rate of nearly 68.2%, demonstrating that Co2Ir NPs possess excellent antioxidant capacity and show promising therapeutic effects against inflammation in vivo.

[0054] 10. In vivo experiments of Co2Ir NPs in mice Figure 14 In vivo chemiluminescence imaging of Co2Ir NPs. It is evident that after tail vein administration, the drug circulates to the thrombus site over time, exhibiting significant chemiluminescence under illumination, reaching its maximum aggregation level at 60 minutes, at which point thrombolytic therapy can be initiated.
[0055] Figure 15 This is an in vivo thrombolysis assay of Co2Ir NPs. Mice were anesthetized and the right carotid artery was located via thoracotomy. The carotid artery was incubated with 10% FeCl3 solution for approximately 10 minutes, causing the vessel to turn black, indicating thrombolysis was complete.
